Q: Solving trigonometric identity with condition. Problem : If $\sin\theta +\sin^2\theta +\sin^3\theta=1$ Then prove $\cos^6\theta -4\cos^4\theta +8\cos^2\theta =4$
My working :
As $\sin\theta +\sin^2\theta +\sin^3\theta=1 \Rightarrow \sin\theta +\sin^3\theta = \cos^2\theta$
Now the given equation : $\cos^6\theta -4\cos^4\theta +8\cos^2\theta$ can be written as
$(\sin\theta +\sin^3\theta)^3-4(\sin\theta+\sin^3\theta )^2+8(\sin\theta +\sin^3\theta)$
= $\sin^3\theta +\sin^6\theta +3\sin^5\theta +3\sin^7\theta -4\sin^2\theta -4\sin^6\theta -8\sin^4\theta + 8\sin\theta + 8\sin^3\theta$
But I think this is not the right way of doing this...Please suggest other alternative.. Thanks...

A: Let $x = \sin \theta$. We are given that $x^3 + x^2 + x - 1 = 0$.
We want to show that $(1-x^2)^3 -4(1-x^2)^2 +8(1-x^2) = 4$. Expanding and comparing terms, this is equivalent to
$$ x^6 + x^4 + 3x^2 - 1 = 0. $$
This is true because $$x^6 + x^4 + 3x^2 - 1 = (x^3 + x^2 + x -1 ) ( x^3 - x^2 + x +1).$$

A: Clearly, we need to eliminate $\sin\theta$ and let us derive the proposition instead of verifying it.
As $\sin\theta +\sin^2\theta +\sin^3\theta=1$
$\implies \sin\theta(1 +\sin^2\theta) =1-\sin^2\theta$
$\implies \sin\theta(2 -\cos^2\theta) =\cos^2\theta$ using $\cos^2\theta=1-\sin^2\theta$
Squaring we get, $\sin^2\theta(2 -\cos^2\theta)^2 =\cos^4\theta$
or,  $(1-\cos^2\theta)(2 -\cos^2\theta)^2 =\cos^4\theta$
On simplification, $\cos^6\theta-4\cos^4\theta+8\cos^2\theta=4$

NOACs for Preventing Stroke in AF
Clinical Case
Elaine M. Hylek, MD, MPH; Benjamin A. Steinberg, MD, MHS; Reviewer: Robert P. Giugliano, MD, FACC
Editorial Collaboration
Medscape &
An 82-year-old woman presents to the hospital with shortness of breath and tachycardia. She is found to be hypervolemic and in atrial fibrillation (AF) with a rapid ventricular response. She is admitted to the hospital and administered intravenous diuretics and oral beta-blockers. A transthoracic echocardiogram reveals mildly depressed left-ventricular function (ejection fraction of 45%) and a mildly dilated left atrium.
Medical history is significant for paroxysmal AF, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea which is treated with continuous positive airway pressure.
Several years ago while taking warfarin and aspirin (ASA), she had a gastrointestinal (GI) bleed requiring transfusion. She is unclear of the source of the hemorrhage but has since been treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ASA and clopidogrel for stroke prevention, without recurrent bleeding.
Her creatinine level is 1.3 mg/dL and she weighs 75 kg. Thyroid studies are unremarkable, and she had a negative stress test last year (performed by her primary care physician). She describes multiple similar—though of lesser severity—episodes of shortness of breath and tachycardia over the past several months and increasing weight gain and lower-extremity edema.
The cardiovascular medicine service is consulted regarding stroke prevention and rhythm management of AF in the setting of heart failure (HF).
The patient is admitted to the hospital and receives medical therapy for acute HF, including intravenous diuresis and beta-blockers to control the ventricular rate in AF. She remains symptomatic from AF and is transitioned from DAPT to apixaban 5 mg twice daily. Once euvolemic, she undergoes transesophageal echocardiography, revealing no left atrial appendage thrombus, and is then cardioverted to normal sinus rhythm.
She is discharged on apixaban, metoprolol, lisinopril, and furosemide, and initiated on amiodarone for short-term rhythm control in anticipation of possible catheter ablation for AF. Both ASA and clopidogrel were stopped when apixaban was initiated.
Choosing a NOAC
The patient described has a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 5 for her sex (1 point), age ≥ 75 (2 points), hypertension (1 point), and HF (1 point).[1] Thus, she warrants stroke prevention therapy with oral anticoagulation (OAC).[2]
The non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), as a group, have been demonstrated to be at least as good as warfarin at preventing stroke, with a generally lower risk of bleeding, overall.[3] While dosing of NOACs is often more straightforward than for warfarin and NOACs have fewer interactions, dose adjustments vary by agent.
However, she had a prior GI bleed in the setting of combination therapy with warfarin and ASA. Concomitant antiplatelet therapy is known to increase the risk of bleeding associated with any oral anticoagulation[4,5,6,7] and should be avoided in the absence of a strong indication. This patient does not have a clear indication for antiplatelet therapy and may better tolerate OAC in the absence of antiplatelet therapy.
She was subsequently treated with DAPT for stroke prevention in AF, a strategy primarily tested in the ACTIVE clinical trial program. The ACTIVE W trial was stopped early due to superiority of vitamin K antagonism over ASA plus clopidogrel for thromboembolic prevention.[8] Notably, rates of major bleeding were not significantly lower in the DAPT group. In a more contemporary comparison, the AVERROES investigators[9] compared apixaban with ASA among patients with AF who were intolerant to (or refused) warfarin for stroke prevention. Again, the oral anticoagulant (apixaban) was demonstrated to be superior to antiplatelet therapy for prevention of thromboembolic events. While the trial was not powered to assess bleeding, rates of bleeding on apixaban were not increased compared with ASA. To date, there have not been similar large randomized trials of any of the other NOACs in comparison to ASA.
The patient in this vignette is treated with standard-dose apixaban; while she is ≥ 80 years old, her weight and creatinine level do not support the reduced dose, which requires at least two higher-risk criteria (her weight is > 60 kg and her creatinine is < 1.5 mg/dL).[10] Emerging data suggest that inappropriate dosing of these agents, particularly underdosing of apixaban, may be associated with increased risk for stroke and other cardiovascular events.[11]
Of the four NOACs, apixaban and edoxaban had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin in their respective phase 3 trials versus warfarin, an advantage that was also seen in elderly patients.[3,12,13,14,15] The patient's estimated creatinine clearance, as calculated by the Cockroft-Gault formula, is 39.5 mL/min.[16]
Edoxaban is a once-daily factor Xa inhibitor that is 50% renally cleared, so use in this patient (because her CrCl is < 50 mL/min) would require a dose adjustment from the standard dose of 60 mg daily down to 30 mg daily, based on the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial.[13,17] It should also be noted that unique, in-depth analyses of the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data supported the clinically based dosing strategy for this agent.[18,19]
Dabigatran and rivaroxaban are less preferred because they had similar to higher rates of major bleeding in elderly patients in their respective trials. If the patient were to be treated with rivaroxaban, she should receive a reduced dose of 15 mg daily.[20] In analyses of the ROCKET-AF trial, as well as heterogeneity testing across the trials, rivaroxaban has been associated with an increased risk for GI bleeding compared with warfarin[3,21] and thus may not be the best agent for this patient. If she were treated with dabigatran, her estimated creatinine clearance (> 30 mL/min) would not indicate a dose reduction unless she were taking concomitant dronedarone or ketoconazole (strong P-glycoprotein [P-gp] inhibitors). In the absence of P-gp inhibitors, 150 mg twice daily would be the indicated dose for stroke prevention in a US patient with AF.[22] Current US guidelines recommend close attention to its use in patients with impaired renal function, particularly those of advanced age, and European guidance would support dose modification.[2,23] While a modified dose of 110 mg twice daily was tested in the RE-LY trial,[7] this dose was not approved for use in the United States. The US Food and Drug Administration cited the risk of inappropriate underdosing and possible surfeit of thromboembolic events as the reason for not approving it,[24] and there have been some data to support this risk; however, the reduced dose is available for other indications in the United States.[25]
Rhythm Control
The patient is started on amiodarone for rhythm control, a drug with well-known interactions primarily attributable to its P-gp and cytochrome P-450 3A4 inhibitions. Several post-hoc analyses of the major clinical trials of NOACs have failed to demonstrate a clinically relevant interaction in the form of increased risk for adverse events associated with concomitant amiodarone and approved dosing of NOACs, compared with warfarin.[26,27,28,29] In fact, the trials in general did not require a dose adjustment in that setting, and thus the package inserts do not. However, those post-hoc subgroup analyses may have been underpowered to detect such effects; the most recent US guidelines highlight the uncertainty.[2] Current European guidance supports no NOAC dose adjustment with concomitant amiodarone in the absence of complicating factors.[23]
Should the patient ultimately undergo catheter ablation? Emerging evidence supports more aggressive use of catheter ablation for AF among patients with concomitant HF.[30,31] The majority of observational data, and some clinical trial data, have shown NOACs to be at least as safe and effective as warfarin for periprocedural use around AF ablation,[32,33,34,35,36] during which risks for stroke and bleeding are significantly higher; additional clinical trial data on this topic are forthcoming.[37] Given her CHA2DS2-VASc risk of 5, current guidelines would not support discontinuing OAC following ablation, irrespective of AF burden at that time.[2,38]
For stroke prevention in AF, NOACs have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in a variety of settings and are generally easier to manage than warfarin. However, there remain unique considerations in dosing and management of each of the different NOACs, which may affect clinical decision-making and outcomes.

When we think about the mirror hanging on the wall, we see it as showing us what we look like, and how well we appear. We look forward to seeing our reflection in the mirror and feeling confident that we look our best, or that we can make the changes necessary to improve this reflection. However, I am using the word 'reflection' in terms of thinking. When we reflect, we think back to our actions, attitudes, behaviours, and the things that may have occurred during the day in which we were involved.
Too often, we pass up on this latter type of reflection and continue behaving the way we have always behaved. We do not realize that just as our reflection in the mirror could point out areas where we could make improvements, so our reflection on ideas could cause us to make adjustments in our actions, attitudes and behaviours that could make us better human beings.
"Lifestyle Solidarity"
I recently listened to a recorded speech by Lilie Chouliaraki, Professor of Media and Communications, at the London School of Economics and Political Science, delivered as part of the Hellenic Observatory Athens Lectures at the observatory. In this speech, Chouliaraki discussed lifestyle solidarity or the moral imperative to do good to help those who are in need, without looking for something in return.
Some of the ideas I drew from this speech are that it is a good thing that a celebrity culture that supports humanitarian causes exists, and that humanitarian giving through digital media, as well as films, videos, breaking news reports from conflict areas and war zones, and concerts for worthy causes provide opportunity to help to those in need. These events are a dominant part of humanitarian giving today and bring to the public view some of the atrocities and great needs that exist in other parts of the world. But, as the professor points out, something may be lost in all of this.
What Could Be Lost?
What may be lost is our true understanding or consciousness of the nature of the world outside of our own nations. We fail to continue to be educated about the world outside, and are unable to fathom or comprehend some of the atrocities and needs that exist in other places. Therefore, when we hear about refugees, for example, we are only able to think in terms of their impact on us. We think of ourselves as victims who are about to be invaded and to lose some of our 'precious' resources because we may have to share with others.
Even More May Be Lost
But there is even more that may be lost: our values. We stop seeing ourselves as part of a larger community: a world community. Instead, we think of ourselves as part of a small nation state. Ironically, everything else, including our media, is telling us that we are part of a global village.
According to Chouliaraki, what is lost is our value of "recognizing otherness", showing some curiosity about other people and "understanding others who are not like us". What is at stake may be our lack of engaging with values, in being empathic, and seeing others in the same way that we see ourselves.
"Education of the Soul"
What we need to do is to undertake an education of the soul, where we come to see the importance of caring for others beyond a very small circle of individuals, where we see closing our borders to those in need as inhumane, and where we look at people who are different from us and realize that they share in the same human feelings that we experience. We need to see human rights as basic rights that we all possess, and so take a stand when anyone's human rights are being violated.
Let each of us look into the mirror and reflect on our actions, attitudes, and behaviour, and ask, "What kind of person am I?" and "Do I like what I see?" If the answers we get are not positive, then we have the opportunity to change.

HOW TO BECOME MORE ASSERTIVE


While microRNAs (miRNAs) were widely considered to repress target genes at mRNA and/or protein levels, emerging evidence from in vitro experiments has shown that miRNAs can also activate gene expression in particular contexts. However, this counterintuitive observation has rarely been reported or interpreted in in vivo conditions. We systematically explored the positive correlation between miRNA and gene expressions and its potential implications in tumorigenesis, based on 8375 patient samples across 31 major human cancers from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Results indicated that positive miRNA-gene correlations are surprisingly prevalent and consistent across cancer types, and show distinct patterns than negative correlations. The top-ranked positive correlations are significantly involved in the immune cell differentiation and cell membrane signaling related processes, and display strong power in stratifying patients in terms of survival rate, demonstrating their promising clinical relevance. Although intragenic miRNAs generally tend to co-express with their host genes, a substantial portion of miRNAs shows no obvious correlation with their host gene due to non-conservation. A miRNA can upregulate a gene by inhibiting its upstream suppressor, or shares transcription factors with that gene, both leading to positive correlation. The miRNA/gene sites associated with the top-ranked positive correlations are more likely to form super-enhancers compared to randomly chosen pairs, suggesting a potential epigenetics mechanism underlying the upregulation. Wet-lab experiments revealed that positive correlations partially remain in the in vitro condition. Our study provides the field with new perspectives on the critical role of miRNA in gene regulation and novel insights regarding the complex mechanisms underlying miRNA functions, and reveals the clinical significance of the potential positive regulation of gene expression by miRNA.

Josh Savage – Living Room Tourist
Josh Savage Photo: Common Spark Media
Last year, TTDOG featured one of London's finest troubadours, Josh Savage as he was releasing his 2nd EP, a first french-language offering: Quatre Épines.
Savage creates a direct connection with his ardent followers through the vulnerability of his lyric, the poignancy of his voice and his virtuosity as a musician. What sets Josh apart from others in the industy is his absolute committment to intimate living room performances throughout the world. When we last saw Josh, he had completed his living room tour of Europe to promote Quatre Épines and was awaiting the release of a film documenting his unprecedented tour. The film, The Living Room Tour, by independent filmmaker Duncan Trevithick, follows Josh Savage as he plays 44 gigs throughout the summer.
We caught up with Savage to discuss The Living Room Tour, a Winchester Short Film Festival Official Selection, released last month.
Sofar Sounds inspired me with the concept. Living Room Tours are the only way I can tour independently on a large scale and guarantee an attentive audience.
TTDOG asked Savage whether filming the tour impacted on the intimacy his audiences have come to expect in his concerts.
Being documented takes some getting used to. it didn't feel like it impacted the intimacy of my shows however. I guess cameras are more commonplace in today's society.
Did Savage have a single favourite moment captured in the film?
My optimism about chewing gum when my car was broken into. At the time, I was in shock so I can't remember what I said but I'm glad I'm able to see the light at the end of the tunnel in nightmare situations.
Just 24, he reminds dreamers of all ages to follow their hearts. In a message to his fans at the launch of the film, Savage called The Living Room Tour:
A short documentary about choosing yourself as an artist. About not waiting for the gatekeepers to say yes. About finding your own path to your own definition of success.
TTDOG asked Savage whether there was something for which he was particularly grateful in the making of the documentary.
I'm most grateful for the wonderful people I met on the road who supported me and keep me going to this day. It's lovely to have a documentary to reflect back on the adventure and I hope it will inspire new artists to take the plunge and follow their passion.
Savage has inspired thousands through his performances and music. His latest single, Whisper in the Snow, featuring Alice Pearl will launch tonight in London before Savage heads out on the road for his 2017 Living Room "Whisper in the Snow" Tour this Friday, 20 January.

Revealing Earth's History from a Microscopic Drop of Ancient Seawater
The research not only gives a renewed idea about the starting of plate tectonics, but also gives insights into the first stages of plate tectonics and the beginning of continent crust.

One of the unique characters of the planet Earth is its plate tectonics. The plate tectonics of Earth is so important that it directly or indirectly controls every function of the planet. Whether it is atmospheric condition, mountain building or forming continents, natural hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, formation of mineral deposits or the maintenance of the oceans, all are linked to plate tectonics some way or the other. Plate tectonics is the process where seven large plates of the Earth undergo large-scale continuous motion and as a result, the top layers of the Earth or the crusts are recycled into the mantle and are periodically replaced by new layers through processes such as volcanic activity.
One important question for the earth scientists have been the time the plate tectonics started. Earlier, it was thought that the plate tectonics started about 2.7 billion years ago. But a latest study published in Nature on this aspect has opened up a fresh debate. What the study claims is that the process of plate tectonics started much before what has been thought, that is, it started 600 million years before the period of time that has been assumed so far. In other words, the plate tectonics started on Earth 3.3 billion years ago, according to the Nature paper. The team of scientists analysed the microscopic leftovers of a drop of water that managed to get transported into the Earth's deep mantle through plate tectonics.
"Plate tectonics constantly recycle the planet's matter, and without it the planet would look like Mars. Our research showing that plate tectonics started 3.3 billion years ago now coincides with the period that life started on Earth. It tells us where the planet came from and how it evolved," said Professor Allan Wilson from the Wits School of Geosciences, one of the lead scientists who conducted the study.
It is to be noted that the Earth is the only planet in the solar system that is shaped by plate tectonics. The plate tectonics play a vital role to make Earth a habitable place for lives. Earth scientists have shown in their research that rapid cooling of the Earth's mantle through plate tectonics played a major role in developing first life forms. The cooling of the mantle led to deposition of phosphorus in the Earth's crust—the outermost layer of Earth. The deposited phosphorus in times mixed with water on the surface of Earth and broke down into phosphates, which became available for development and nourishment of primitive life. As we know now, phosphorus is essential for life. Phosphates, that are the compounds containing phosphorus and oxygen, are part of the backbones of DNA and RNA and also of cell membranes. Phosphates also control cell growth and function.
In the research of the ancient seawater, the team of the scientists analysed komatiite—a type of a rock melt. Komatiite got its name from its occurrence in the Komati River near Barberton in Mpumalanga, a province in South Africa. The komatiites are basically the leftovers from the hottest magma that was produced in first quarter of Earth's existence—the Archaen period of time. Magma refers to the molten or semi molten material that erupts from the beneath of the Earth. All the igneous rocks are formed from magma. Most of the komatiites have been altered by environmental and other factors. But the small droplets of the molten rock were preserved in the mineral called olivine. This allowed the scientists to analyse the preserved ancient piece of lava.
"We examined a piece of melt that was 10 microns (0.01mm) in diameter, and analysed its chemical indicators such as H2O content, chlorine and deuterium/hydrogen ratio, and found that Earth's recycling process started about 600 million years earlier than originally thought. We found that seawater was transported deep into the mantle and then re-emerged through volcanic plumes from the core-mantle boundary," said Wilson.

A Liberal Democracy in an Authoritarian Groove


Sir Mark Sedwill recently outlined the UK's need to reorient to a forward looking strategy, centred on Global Britain, to respond to a "very real set of complex 21st Century challenges". He highlighted three big trends that are influencing the global order: the Fourth Industrial Revolution, significant changing age structures between the hemispheres and the movement of global economic power from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Set against this evolving context, and more "familiar national security threats that have had a 21st century upgrade", the UK has developed its co-ordination vision through the National Security and Capability Review's (NSCR) Fusion Doctrine. The Review's themes of complexity and uncertainty are not new but they do appear to be becoming increasingly common. The Fusion Doctrine approach seeks to maintain a core protective component but also grow activecross-government promotion of UK influence, security and economic benefit. What does this mean for UK strategy? This post will explore how the emerging field of complexity theory might inform these issues, and suggest some ways in which it can focus our thinking around Global Britain.
Originating in the natural sciences, complexity theory is an interdisciplinary approach that analyses uncertainty and non-linearity to explain why system wide behaviour emerges from the interaction between large groups of simpler elements. Jean Boulton, an evolutionary complexity pioneer, proposes that we should view the world as "organic, systemic, and shaped by history and context". This develops a world view that has evolved in open systems that cannot be explained by reducing them down to their constituent parts.The individual elements that make up the systems, acting freely, interact with one another, "share information and combine to produce systemic behaviour" that shapean emerging future that cannot be entirely known in advance. Complexity advocates also highlight the importance of history; path-dependency means that the constituent parts constantly interact to produce both positive and negative feedback loops that further supports the concept of non-linear emergent futures. This embraces the messiness of the real world but bounds it to support analysis, recognising that the boundaries "may shift or be permeable" as the systems evolve. Systems are self-organizing and episodic with change often appearing to happen in fits and starts. This delivers a world in which long-term stability appears to suddenly modify, often due to micro changes that reach a tipping point, Figure 1 refers. Boulton advises that the system is uncertain but not random.
The Europe UK relationship, Figure 1.
Developed from Duncan Green's insights on fragile states and Crawford Holling's forest lifecycle. In the open system, Brexit's emergence marks just another episodic change before the lifecycle resets.
At the heart of complexity lies a hypothesis that supports John Lewis Gaddis's grand strategy proposition. Complexity demands that one must study the general and the particular, using universal and local knowledge. This approach urges the analyst to consider the macro, meso and micro levels, including how they freely interact.This is not new, strategists' drive to understand the complexities of scale, space and time reaches back to the writings of Sun Tzu. However, it does provide a sound basis from which one can develop analysis.It should seek to understand the power interaction across the physical, virtual and psychological, the fitness landscape.As articulated in Porter's global village myth vision, this must not become a fatalistic narrative of total conflict and inflated threats within a "shrinking world" cliché. This must consider the important concept of space (or distance) to ensure that practitioners remain realistic about reach, influence and, ultimately, impact.This is a significant development from the linear reductionist – "me good, them bad" – interventionist approach that dominated the post-Cold War neo-liberal narrative. We need to get more comfortable with forecasts that routinely discuss a range of options rather than flawed linear output predictions.
A word of caution, whilst complexity has begun to be embraced within Policy Studies and International Development, its adoption within International Relations (IR) has been slower. Some of this measured acceptance is likely due to the lack of a universally accepted complexity definition, the potentially impenetrable lexicon of more mathematical models, its treatment of power and papers with antagonistic straplines about driving reality and relevance into IR's existing Newtonian models. Finally, some have more fundamentally questioned the applicability of theory derived from the natural world to IR. These are acknowledged and the debate is one of the areas that should bring increasing depth to the field as complexity theory matures.
What does this mean for the UK's National Security Council (NSC)? Sedwill recently gave an indication that the government are considering how best to integrate ahorizontal strategic planning view whilst delivering vertically through government departments. Since the 2018 NSCR, significant work has started to develop the procedural and structural accountability against defined regional/ thematic areas of opportunity and risk, while recognising that these will have some overlap.The NSC has appointed senior government personnel to build cross-department teams that oversee these specific areas. Forming strategy within this environmentis not an easy task. Long-established threats can rely on the government system to have a degree of muscle memory. However, emergent concerns such as bio-diversity and climate change will test Whitehall. Time starved, information deluged roles subject to "street level bureaucracy" must not become a block if the UK is to deliver against Gaddis's strategy intent. As articulated in the NSCR, this will need the government to increasingly include the private and third sector.
Complexity theory could help develop this understanding of the emergent strategic environment and visualise how disparate (physical, virtual and psychological) elements interact. This might prove especially important for countering emergent risks. The range of possible futures is likely to cause policy makers to have to move from set targets to fuzzy visions, strict rules to principles and road maps to an acceptance that agility and innovation might prove more important. To navigate the complex interaction across multiple open systems requires acceptance that flexibility, relationships and willingness to challenge are increasingly critical. This may prove a difficult sell in the Whitehall Village dominated by accountability, metrics and the need for consensus.However, the world Sedwill recently illustrated matches the model of interacting open systems, Figure 2 refers. Adoption of this approach could bring an increasingly multidimensional tone to the government's horizontal/ vertical operating vision.
The strategic context: Fusion Doctrine and its relationship to complex adaptive systems, Figure 2.
The featured are examples for illustrative purposes and not meant to represent the entirety of the security environment.Within this context, the Macro level is significantly larger than Meso and Micro.
Is complexity a dangerous pursuit of the new? No. It recognises that reality is messy and that the UK must harness existing departmental outputs in close coordination with experts from outside of government. Finally, as episodic change can result across the systems at any time, the NSC will have to ask whether the existing structure efficiently coordinates current "systems scanning" to support the developing Global Britain intent. Consideration should be given to permanently establishing a small, independent group that corrals the existing cross-government horizon scanning elements, including the Ministry of Defence's Net Assessment capability, to support the whole of government prioritisation. Importantly, this must not become an infrequent gathering of experts or become weighed down by wider bureaucratic practice if it is to truly operate across the complex open systems that influence the UK's national security. As economic power moves East, Whitehall might consider borrowing from Deng Xiao Ping's adaptive outlook… in a complex world, the UK must get accustomed to "crossing the river by feeling the stones". This will reduce the avoidable Black Swans of the future and deliver increasingly relevant, emergent strategic planning.

Q: Is there any way to interrupt autocomplete in emacs? So while I am writing some code in lisp, autocomplete frequently hangs for one or two seconds (depends on connection to repl) and during this period of time emacs doesn't show what I am typing. You are typing and nothing happens, then all characters appear.
There is a delay that you can adjust not to start completion at all if you are typing fast. You can type very slowly and completion delay won't annoy you.
I am wondering is there a way to make user interation be more prioritized then autocomplete thread. When you are typing at the same time as autocomplete works could your input action interrupt it?

Q: Get the List object to compare with Date Time but am not getting greater values in the List in wpf I want to compare the List Object with Date Time.but getting the same date values also , But I don't want same date time records. I need only maximum date values only.

}

Any help will be appreciated ?

A: I'm not entirely sure what your problem is, but I notice two things:

*

*(p.DateModified > lastImpDate && p.DateModified != null) -- you should be checking for null first, i.e. before the first check.  The && operator evaluates from the left

*(p.DateCreated > lastImpDate && p.DateModified == null) -- you're checking for DateModified being populated, but you're using DateCreated in the comparison, which I assume is a bug.

Qualcomm's New 3rd Generation Snapdragon X60 5G Modem, Built on 5nm
by Dr. Ian Cutress on February 18, 2020 7:30 AM EST
Sub 6 GHz
To date Qualcomm has promoted two key standalone 5G modems for widespread adoption: the Snapdragon X50 and the Snapdragon X55. Today the company is disclosing details on its upcoming 3rd generation 5G modem design, the Snapdragon X60, which is being promoted as the premium offering for smartphones, industrial, and commercial designs that require a discrete 5G modem. Key features of this modem include the fact that it is built on a 5nm process, supports carrier aggregation between Sub-6 and mmWave, and offers up to 7.5 Gbps download speeds.
The fact that Qualcomm is outright saying that their modem is going to be built on 5nm at this point of the game is very interesting, especially given TSMC's recent disclosures on the capability of its 5nm process and its current timeline of development.
With the Snapdragon X60, Qualcomm is promoting support for more features of 5G, such as carrier aggregation between Sub-6 GHz bands in FDD/TDD (similar to LTE carrier aggregation), and support for simultaneous carrier aggregation between Sub-6 GHz and mmWave 5G bands. This leads to big jumps in peak bandwidth support, with Qualcomm listing up to 7.5 Gbps download over mmWave, 3 Gbps upload, and up to 5 Gbps download over Sub-6 GHz.
These peak speeds with the X60 modem is going to be achieved through new mmWave antenna modules. For the X50/X55, Qualcomm introduced its QTM525 module for mmWave, in a slim packaging to help enable the technology. Despite the sleek stature, the X50/X55 modems supported four of these modules, and Qualcomm recommended a minimum of three – the replacement of which did require these devices to be of a specific minimum thickness to ensure complete coverage. The new QTM535 module is promoted to be thinner, reducing that requirement.
Unfortunately the diagram showed by Qualcomm of the new module (as they didn't have a physical one to show us) was not to scale, so no real conclusions could be drawn to the old module. Qualcomm also stated that they were not discussing dimensions at this time, despite the fact that the QTM525 launch was all about the dimensions. The new module can support 26 GHz, 28 GHz, and 39 GHz, enabling wider support. Qualcomm is going to keep its recommendation to vendors to use at least 3 in a connected device.
Alongside the modem and the mmWave antenna, Qualcomm is also offering the full RF front end for Sub-6 GHz. Qualcomm was proud to promote last year at its Tech Summit that out of the 150 devices that were using X50/X55 modems, all of them were using Qualcomm's RF front-end solution. The X60 will similarly be a full stack offering.
Rollout of Qualcomm's 5G modems has been a varied affair, with the time between the initial announcement of the first generation X50 and it actually launching into consumer devices being around two years. The process was sped up with X55, with a quicker time to market and eventually widespread deployment for consumer devices through the end of 2019 and likely for all of 2020. There was no doubt that Qualcomm was going announce its next generation design at some point, and with X55 in full swing, that time would appear to be now. When asked regarding timeframe of the X60, Qualcomm stated that they're not sticking to any timeframe, with a spokesperson saying 'these things go through revisions'. It is worth noting that for 5nm, TSMC has not yet entered high-volume manufacturing on this node yet (it will do soon, but yields are still low according to the ISSCC 2019 disclosure in December), and Samsung is further behind. So the exact timeframe for X60 rollout maybe sometime in 2021 at our best guess. Qualcomm has an annual Tech Summit in December, so we might see some of the first X60 reference designs at that event, likely with early silicon or the first batches of production silicon.
With MWC now cancelled, we might expect to see updates to the Snapdragon X60 news later in the year, perhaps at IFA in late August, or at Qualcomm's own 5G analyst event. Then there's always the Tech Summit in December.

How big are these 5g modules and how many are needed in a phone?

They're not saying and they recommend at least 3.

Do You think the Snapdragon 865 successor will integrate it?
yeeeeman - Tuesday, February 18, 2020 - link
It is pretty clear to me that this is still a standalone solution. 5G modems are BIG, hot and require lots of pins/power. I don't think they can integrate them (at least that is the case for X55 and now X60) into the main SoC.
Tbh, if I were to buy a new phone now, I would buy a 4G variant of the SD865. 5G is still in its early days.
TheUnhandledException - Tuesday, February 18, 2020 - link
Qualcomm has said they CAN integrate it and in fact both Qualcomm and Samsung do at the midtier level. The discrete modem is simply due to the rapidly changing tech and time to market concerns. The radios were ready before the SoC allowing more time for testing the RF side of the house. The modems will be integrated eventually. Not sure if that will happen in the successor of the 865 or the one after that but it will happen.
Raqia - Tuesday, February 18, 2020 - link
The TSMC 5nm touts improvements in analog density:
https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/i...
Qualcomm has typically incorporated prior gen. modems into their leading edge SoCs so the 875 will probably have (a version with) the x55 integrated.
Ok, fair enough, didn't thought about this.
s.yu - Tuesday, February 18, 2020 - link
I don't see your point, the integrated midrange 5G modems are smaller and slower, arguably how they should be since the speeds won't be supported by infrastructure, but still.
levizx - Wednesday, February 19, 2020 - link
I don't see YOUR point. Both Exynos 980/765G are cheap 5G solutions, of course they are slower. What else do you expect? In fact MTK D1000 has a 5G modem that performs on par with X55 @sub-6. With next-gen 5nm SoC there's no way Qualcomm can't have integrated X55/X60, they just chose not to because it's cheaper to supply the discreet modem to everyone including Apple.
s.yu - Wednesday, February 19, 2020 - link
Well, first of all, if the lower performance is acceptable, then obviously it could be integrated, but this is not the low performance variant, that's why it can't be integrated, and when we say it can't, of course it's in the practical business sense, speaking in costs and profits, not feasibility in the realm of physics.
As for MTK, they're known to look good on paper(mmWave also takes up too much die area), OTOH, the infrastructure won't support a test of peak speeds, which is why I said slow is "arguably how they should be", because the flagship modems are overkill, but it's not a discussion of whether or not overkill is otherwise justified because this issue is far from restrained to modem performance, so unless they seriously mess up, they won't be faulted for not reaching their claimed performance, simply because the claims can't be verified.
So claiming that discrete X55/X60 is "cheaper" compared to potential integration is not an argument because cheaper could mean the difference between marketable or not(with the gain in efficiency of integrated considered), and I don't think you can easily brush off the concentration of heat and power @yeeeeman noted either.

Q: SignalR access hub from elsewhere in server I'm hosting SignalR in IIS along with my application and while my remote clients can connect happily I can't get my application which has created the hubs to connect and take part itself reliably.
I have tried to connect to the hub from within the web server process which is successful but only if I know what port it is hosted on.  As that can be configured from IIS to be anything then I don't know what port to try to connect to internally.
I had hoped I could make use of the IHubContext but that only seems to give me ways of sending messages but not receiving them.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
-- Edit --
I've moved on with my experimenting but I've hit a different brick wall now.
I'm setting up my hub like this
GlobalHost.DependencyResolver.Register(typeof(StatusHub), () => this.StatusHub);

So that I can have a single instance of the hub and hook into events on it from within my server but external to the hub itself.
I can then make use of a couple of events
public event EventHandler<string> Connected;

public event EventHandler<string> Disconnected;

And then else where
this.statusHub.Connected += (sender, connectionId) => this.UpdateServerStatus(connectionId);
this.statusHub.Disconnected += (sender, connectionId) => this.ReleaseLicense(connectionId);

And these functions get called as clients connect and disconnect when the hub makes the overidden calls to
public override Task OnConnected()

and
public override Task OnDisconnected(bool stopCalled)

What I then can't seem to do is actually send messages to the clients using the hub.  I've tried to do this
var host = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<StatusHub>();
host.Clients.All.Update(args);

and while host comes back as a valid object no client function I call on it appears to get through and I can't see any clients on the object.

A: In the end I was missing a key point.  I'm no longer connecting to my own hub internally because the callbacks call me when I need to know.
Calling the client function in the end I was trying to call a hub function Update() and not the client function heartbeat().


Retrieving content from and modifying content in text files with PowerShell are skills many administrators need to cultivate to aid their automation efforts.
If you are interested in task automation, then learning how to use the *-Content cmdlets for effective PowerShell text manipulation will help with advanced infrastructure management efforts.
Part of your automation activities include modifying text files, which used to mean just flat text, such as files you'd create with the Notepad application. These days, the concept of text includes CSV, HTML, JSON, XML and even Markdown files. PowerShell works with all those filetypes -- and YAML is on the horizon for a future PowerShell Core release -- but this tutorial will focus on working with flat text files.
There are number of cmdlets available for PowerShell text manipulation: Add-Content, Clear-Content, Get-Content and Set-Content. Also, the Out-File cmdlet can create a text file or write to one. You need to be aware of the changes between the Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core versions -- especially with encoding -- to manage your files across platforms and across applications.
You can use both Add-Content and Set-Content to create a text file, but they both require content. Start by importing the text after the $txt text string variable in the screenshot.
Create populated text files with PowerShell.
You can use Out-File rather than the *-Content cmdlets to avoid the extra processing required with the Out-String cmdlet.
There are times when it's helpful to know how to clear the contents of a file so the file is empty and available for reuse.
Use the Clear-Content cmdlet to remove the content in a file but preserve its permissions.
The Clear-Content cmdlet executes in one less step compared to deleting and recreating the empty file. Another advantage is it preserves the permissions on the file.
With either method, the file will look the same.
Displaying the content of the Servers.txt file.
You have two options to modify file content: Add-Content and Set-Content.
This code adds another five server names to the text file created earlier.
NoNewLine concatenates additional text on a single line.
Stream specifies an alternate data stream.
AsByteStream creates the file as a stream of bytes.
If you use multiple versions of PowerShell, your PowerShell files will be read by another application -- possibly on a different OS -- or you want to use PowerShell to read files created by other applications, then you may need to be aware of encoding.
The Add-Content, Set-Content and Get-Content cmdlets have an encoding parameter that controls the way PowerShell writes the file. If you only use a single version of PowerShell and files that you create will only be read by PowerShell, then you don't need to worry about this.
If you use multiple versions of PowerShell, if your PowerShell files will be read by another application -- possibly on a different OS -- or if you want to use PowerShell to read files created by other applications, then you may need to be aware of encoding.
Just to add another wrinkle to the encoding story, the default encoding changed in PowerShell Core 6.0.
Windows PowerShell uses a mixture of encoding, including ASCII and UTF-16, which may lead to issues when you try to read the files you create. For the most part, PowerShell tends to figure out the encoding for files, but other applications may not be so forgiving.
PowerShell Core 6.0 standardized on UTF-8 without a byte order mark (UTF8NoBOM) as the default encoding. The following cmdlets use UTF8NoBOM in PowerShell Core 6.0 and later: Add-Content, Export-Clixml, Export-Csv, Export-PSSession, Format-Hex, Get-Content, Import-Csv, Out-File, Select-String, Send-MailMessage and Set-Content.
New-ModuleManifest was moved to the UTF8NoBOM standard in PowerShell Core 6.1.
The PowerShell team recommends to explicitly state the encoding with the -Encoding parameter.
Creating and modifying files are useful, but at some stage, you will need to read the contents of a file. The file with the server names is a good example of an instance where you create a file used in your automation efforts.
The length of the string matches the file size. If you attempt to select an element from the array, then you'll get individual characters as shown.
Wait keeps the file open while checking and displaying new content once per second. Use CTRL+C to close the file.
AsByteStream dictates that the content should be read as a stream of bytes. This parameter was added in PowerShell Core 6.0. For Windows PowerShell, use the Byte parameter for the same result.
What are some of your favorite PowerShell text manipulation tricks?

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an signaling protocol widely used for controlling communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP). The protocol can be used for creating, modifying and terminating two-party (unicast) or multi party (multicast) sessions consisting of one or several media streams. The modification can involve changing addresses or ports, inviting more participants, and adding or deleting media streams. Other applications include video conferencing, streaming multimedia distribution, instant messaging, presence information, file transfer and online games.


Yes, I'm taking another break from audio podcasting. Today I show you how to make a classic Japanese dish that you've probably had many times before, Yakitori.
Soak skewers in water, at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Combine soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar; cook until boiling. Boil about 1 minute then set aside.
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch or so), removing bones if necessary. Peel off the skin, and trim any excess fat and skin with the knife.
Thread chicken and negi onto skewers, alternating between chicken and negi.
Cook over charcoal or bake in an oven (I usually set it to 350 degrees).
Cook until meat is firm but not tough, and/or an instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees.
Those of you wishing to avoid alcohol can leave it out of the sauce. The taste won't be quite the same, but should still be good. Also, mirin is available in a version without alcohol as well (basically has the flavor of mirin without the alcohol).
If desired, lightly sprinkle salt and pepper (to taste) on the skewers before coating with sauce.
If you've got the time, marinate your chicken and negi in the sauce. Let it soak at least 1 hour, preferably all day (prepare it in the morning, eat it for dinner).
For improved texture and to caramelize the sauce, finish your yakitori under the broiler for an additional 5 minutes or so at the end.
Boneless skinless thighs can sometimes be found in your market's frozen foods section.
Some people like to shake some toasted sesame seeds on them right before serving.
It goes well with edamame (soybeans in the shell). And, of course, beer.
Traditionally, yakitori is made with just about every part of the bird, including the innards (gizzards, etc.). I'm not really a big fan of chicken innards (as I suspect is true of much of the American viewing audience), so I leave them out.

This Is One Of The Biggest Weight-Loss Lessons You Can Learn From 'My 600-Pound Life'
Explain to your friends and family what support means to you.
By Alison Bonaguro
You might not initially peg the people you love as the ones responsible for hurting your relationship with food. But it certainly can happen. If you've ever watched an episode—possibly even an entire season—of TLC's My 600-lb Life, you know exactly who these people are. They are the spouses, the siblings, the friends, the parents, and sometimes the children. They are the ones who you'd expect to support your decision to shed the weight. But they are in fact the saboteurs, and they can be infuriating to watch.
(Hit the reset button—and burn fat like crazy with The Body Clock Diet!)
Sometimes episodes showcase what are probably unintentional acts of sabotage: In season three of the show, you watch Pauline, who weighs 678 pounds, accept a fast-food breakfast from her son and caretaker while laying in a hospital bed from which she cannot move unassisted.
But other instances aren't so innocent: In an episode from season two, Zsalynn, 42, who weights 597 pounds, says her mother often called her fat, and wouldn't even let her lick postage stamps because she thought there were calories in them.
Younan Nowzaradan, M.D., the show's compassionate gastric bypass surgeon from Houston Obesity Surgery, maintains that without support, a weight-loss journey will most likely fail. "If they don't have [support], it's almost impossible for them to be successful in the long term, unless they remove those people from their environment. So they either have to change their dynamic with those enablers or separate from them if they want to succeed," Nowzaradan told People.
So what can you do if you're facing a similar situation at home? "If someone is going to make progress, it's important to confront their family and friends about what support really means," says Cymbeline Smith, a licensed marriage and family therapist.
RELATED: 'These Small Changes Helped Me Lose Half My Body Weight In 2 Years'
Smith recommends first trying to understand why your support person is being anything but and trying to reframe how you interact with these people who are allegedly on your side. Step one? Take conversations about weight off the table.
"Start from ground zero: no body comments allowed," she says.
Check out some of the weirdest weight-loss trends through history:
Then set verbal boundaries. "There should be no commenting on each other's bodies at all. The support person may encourage health but not offer opinions on anyone's body. You can say, 'Thank you for caring. I know you love me, but please don't comment on my body.' "
She also says it's a good idea to remind people that any compliments about the weight loss need to be without comparisons to the past or absolutes. "'I like your body now' can be very triggering psychologically," Smith warns.

Ultimately, Smith says that a weight loss will be undermined if it's starting with a less-than-solid relationship. But all hope is not lost. You just need to take care of one before the other.
"Put the relationship first. Work on that," she says, "then you'll be better equipped to overcome anything else that gets in your way of a healthier weight."

Anthralin (AN-thrah-lin) is a topical medication widely used to treat long-term psoriasis, and is an alternative treatment for hair loss in patients with alopecia areata.
Anthralin is a man-made, tar-like substance used to treat chronic psoriasis. This is a condition characterized by scaling and drying of the skin due to the overgrowth of skin cells. In the U.S., this medicine is available only by prescription.
As an antimitotic, anthralin works by slowing down the overgrowth of skin cells in psoriasis patients. Side effects are generally mild.
Anthralin is also one of the medications used to treat the scalp of patients with alopecia areata. The condition causes patients to lose patches of hair. Although not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this purpose, the use of anthralin results in hair regrowth. It works through contact immunotherapy, triggering an allergic reaction that stimulates regrowth.
The medicine comes in the form of a cream, ointment, paste or shampoo, and is sold under other brand names, such as Drithocreme. A variety of strengths, usually 0.1 to 1%, are available. Dosage varies based on the condition treated and the patient's tolerance of the therapy. It is not recommended for use in children, older adults, and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
As with any medicine, there are side effects of using anthralin for treating psoriasis and alopecia areata. Anthralin has been found to cause tumors in animals, but there is no reported case of anthralin causing tumors in humans.
The known side effects are generally mild, but some patients experienced severe reactions requiring emergency care. Some staining of clothing, and discoloration of hair, skin, and fingernails may occur upon contact with the medicine.
Redness or irritation: This is a commonly reported side effect affecting the skin where the medication was applied.
Rash or soreness: Patients complained of developing a rash or soreness of the skin where the medicine was applied.
These side effects are generally mild and go away on their own. If they persist or worsen, patients are advised to call their doctor or pharmacist. You should tell your doctor right away if there is increased soreness of the skin or spreading of the psoriasis.
A serious allergic reaction due to the use of anthralin is rare. Some patients experienced itching and hives, tightness in the chest, or swelling of the face, lips and tongue. If these occur, patients are advised to call their doctor or seek urgent medical care.
To prevent allergic reactions, patients should tell their health care professional of any known allergies to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. This is especially important as the medication may have inactive ingredients that can trigger allergic reactions.
Alopecia areata is treated by applying anthralin paste or ointment directly to the affected scalp for a period of time, before washing off. Most patients develop contact skin irritation and a rash. Severe irritation, inflammation of hair follicles, and swollen lymph nodes may also occur.
Patients should notify their doctor immediately if these side effects occur. The doctor may advise to withhold treatment for a few days, then continue by applying the medicine for shorter periods.
Anthralin (cream, ointment, paste, and shampoo) is for external use only. It is applied to the skin or scalp as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Dosage varies from patient to patient and may be used for long contact or short contact therapy. The higher the concentration, the higher the chance for contact irritation.
With short contact therapy, anthralin is applied directly to the affected skin or scalp for approximately 10 to 30 minutes. It is then washed off by shampooing the treated area. For longer therapy, the medication is applied at night and washed off the following morning.
The number of doses taken each day, the length of time between doses, and the overall duration the medicine is taken depend on the condition treated. The patient's tolerance of the medicine is also a factor considered.
Using anthralin as directed may reduce the chance of side effects and increase the chance of results. Allow it to sit on the treated skin only for the prescribed contact time.
Anthralin cream, adults: Following the prescription label or directions of a healthcare professional, apply the recommended amount directly to the affected skin, once a day (usually), preferably at night. Wash the medication off at the end of the contact time, usually in the morning.
For short contact therapy, apply as directed to the dry, affected skin, once a day. Wash medication off at the end of the contact time, usually 10-30 minutes.
Wear protective gloves to apply and a hair cap overnight to prevent unnecessary contact irritation, staining, and discoloration.
Anthralin ointment, adults: Apply the recommended amount directly to the dry, affected skin once a day or as directed by a doctor. Wash the medicine off at the end of the contact time.
The scalp may be treated as directed using either anthralin cream or ointment. Using short contact therapy, it is applied to the affected area of the scalp using 1% strength or higher.
Use anthralin shampoo by wetting the hair, then applying and massaging thoroughly onto the scalp. Work into a lather and leave on the scalp for 3 to 5 minutes, taking great care to avoid contact with the eyes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Repeat 3 to 4 times a week, or as directed by a doctor.
Anthralin, in any form, is not recommended for use in children, geriatrics, and pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless determined by a doctor.
Prescription anthralin is also used to treat alopecia areata through the process of topical immunotherapy, also known as 'contact therapy'. Both short-contact and overnight treatments are used.
As prescribed, apply daily for 15-20 minutes and then wash off. The contact time is increased by 5 minutes weekly, up to 1 hour, or until low-grade dermatitis develops. The contact time is then fixed and continued daily for at least 3 months, before assessing the response to treatment.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, apply it as soon as possible. If the next dosage time is close, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. In case of accidental overdose or swallowing, call 911 or the poison control center at 800-222-1222.
Prescription, and even over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, may interact with each other when taken or used. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all your drugs, herbal products, vitamins, and health problems. This will help in determining whether it is safe for you to take anthralin.
There is no known list of foods or drugs that interact with anthralin. This does not mean no interactions exist. Discuss the use of alcohol, food, and tobacco with your doctor as they may affect the way the medicine works. Read all instructions to avoid using any food or drug that may adversely interact with the medicine.
Drugs and medications are designed to be used strictly according to directions. Follow all directions to achieve maximum relief when using anthralin. If contact irritation of normal skin occurs, apply petroleum jelly to affected areas for relief.
Discuss your medical history and current health problems, especially kidney disease, with your doctor. Anthralin may have inactive ingredients that can trigger allergic reactions. Tell your doctor of any allergies, OTC or herbal medications you take. Mention skin products or shampoos already being used for treatment.
Consult a doctor or pharmacist before you start, stop, or change the dose of anthralin in any form. This external-use medication should be applied directly to the affected areas to avoid exposing uninvolved skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth and wash hands immediately after each application.
Alopecia patients should take special care to avoid anthralin contact with the eyes during application to the scalp. Severe conjunctivitis may occur if this happens. Remove any residue that comes into contact with the ears. During treatment, protect the treated scalp from exposure to the sun.
Use the medicine only to treat the condition it was prescribed for, unless otherwise directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Leave on the medication only for the required contact time. Rinse off immediately after. If irritation occurs or your condition worsens, discontinue use and call your doctor. Call 911, your doctor or the poison control center at 800-222-1222 if it is accidentally swallowed.
Anthralin is not recommended for use in children, older adults, and pregnant or breastfeeding women. Seek a doctor's advice.
Anthralin should be stored at room temperature between 59-86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C). Protect from freezing. It should not be stored in the bathroom and must be kept in the container, tightly closed and away from heat, light, children, and pets.
Any remaining medicine should be disposed of according to the label instructions, or as directed by a doctor. Avoid flushing the medication down the toilet or pouring it into a drain, unless instructed to do so. A healthcare professional or local waste disposal company can provide additional details on how to safely dispose of it.
Anthralin proves to be an effective way to treat psoriasis. Functioning as a mitotic inhibitor, it checks the overgrowth of skin cells. The drug is designed for external use only on affected areas of the skin and scalp. It is easy to use, store, and discard by following simple directions.
The medication can be purchased in the US only by prescription due to its potency and ability to easily irritate skin, eyes and other body parts.
Positive results are generally seen once the medicine is used with special attention to precautions and warnings. Despite some mostly mild and rare side effects, anthralin therapy is still the recommended way to treat long-term psoriasis. Whenever severe side effects or severe allergic reactions occur, urgent medical care is usually required.
Even though the FDA did not approve anthralin immunotherapy to treat hair loss in alopecia patients, the use of the medicine has helped with hair restoration. Regardless of its potential to cause swollen lymph nodes and inflammation of hair follicles, the medicine continues to be a popular treatment.
Until its safety and efficacy are established, the use of anthralin in children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and geriatrics remains restricted.
Anthralin therapy may require patients to endure some amount of discomfort. It is therefore important for patients to determine whether the benefits of the medication outweigh the side effects.


Molluscum Contagiosum is a common viral infection (poxvirus) of the skin that causes small flesh-colored bumps that are painless. The virus is not harmful, however it can be easily spread among children through skin-to-skin contact. As the name implies, molluscum contagiosum is contagious. Most often appear on the trunk, face, arms and genital area with potentially a rash that is red, scaly, dry or itchy around the bumps.
If left untreated, molluscum will eventually go away over time. Prescription medications containing, retinoids and aldara can help. Often molluscum is treated in-office by applying medicated chemicals, freezing or scraping. This results in blisters and sores that need to be soothed with topical or oral medications. If there are many growths, treatment sessions may be needed every 3 to 6 weeks until the growths disappear.

Favourite Journeys to Middle Earth

In 2012, the first part film version of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey, attracted less excitement than the LOTR a decade ago. I think that is because we are so used to CGI effects by now and the story was somewhat decompressed. I thought the whole cast was great - especially Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield. Audiences are jaded, because Hollywood has gorged on CGI.

After I learned to read, the first real book I read was The Hobbit. And long before Peter Jackson, when Boomers were still spraypainting Frodo Lives! on alley walls, there was a minor industry making paraphenalia around The Hobbit (1937), the Lord of the Rings (1954-1955) and The Silmarillion (1977).

What nostalgia to see The Golden Age blog post all 36 paintings by the Brothers Hildebrandt from the 1976, 1977 and 1978 J. R. R. Tolkien calendars - here! I still have the original calendars tucked away. That post inspired me to scour the Web for some compelling depictions of Middle Earth; although my most recent favourite is the Middle Earth meditation series. I think the LOTR films likely influenced many Millennial artists whose work does not explicitly refer to Tolkien, such as Zoë Keating.

See my finds below the jump. They point one way or another to Tolkien's parables on good and evil, heroism and weakness, drawn partly from his musings on the past from prehistory, from ancient and medieval languages and cultures, and from World War I. With the exceptions below, I have yet to find convincing depictions of Orcs, a race of ruined and corrupted Elves. If you have a favourite depiction of Middle Earth you would like to suggest, write to me and I will post it in this collection.

Discussion in 'Windows, Linux & Others on the Mac' started by ildondeigiocchi, Jun 2, 2009.
Ok guys so here's the issue. I have a 2008 Mac Pro which is being replaced with a 2009 Mac Pro. I currently have Windows XP Pro 32-bit installed on a 150GB Bootcamp partition. My question is the following. Can I install Windows XP on my new Mac Pro with the same registration key. I bought the Genuine Windows XP Pro direct from Microsoft and it only came with one registration key. Please help.
Nope. Uninstall from the one, install on the other.
It should work fine. I'll just ask to authenticate. Worse case, you give them a call and you get a new auth number.
As an aside, you can move your current XP install to the new machine intact, then install the new drivers (from Disk 1 of the new computer's Restore disks).
I recommend "WinClone". You use it to create a backup image file of the current install. Then, after using Boot Camp Assistant to create a new Windows partition on the new machine, use WinClone to restore from that backup image file. It should boot, find the new hardware and be relatively happy. Then you can update the drivers [from the new machine's restore disk 1].
This may sound really stupid but how do you uninstall it.
I really need to know how to uninstall XP so I can reinstall it on the other computer. How do I uninstall it?
You can't, and as such, there is no need. Just erase the Windows partition on the old Mac in order to prevent violating the Windows license through 2 concurrent installations, and then install it on the new Mac. If it won't let you activate, you will be provided with a phone number, and a representative will give you a new activation key.
Just the answer I was looking for.
I see it as being similar to bring over a VM from a previous machine.
When I did that the new machine didn't miss a beat.
When I first opened the VM it "Found New Hardware" and installed all.
I'm getting a new machine Monday. I've got a WinClone backup of XP all set up just the way I want it. I'm just going to Restore it on the new machine.
I'm expecting the worse case scenario is certain sw like StruCalc will need a new key based on the machine's ID.
I'm so excited in anticipation for Monday.
One thing that MIGHT happen is when you go to activate the windows on the new Partition/Machine/Whatever, Windows may tell you you have already activated this version.
Windows is good for 3 activations over the internet then after that you might have to phone them. They might have changed the rules since I used XP.
I think 3 is correct. And even if you have used them up, the phone call is no biggie. Like I said, it 100% automated-you never have to talk to anyone.
I've used Acronis True Image to clone customers boot camp volumes on MB/MBP's by backing up the image file to an external hard drive. On the new PC run windows setup through all the way after boot camp has finished the drivers install True image, create a rescue CD within the app then boot off the CD (by holding the alt key down and waiting for the CD option to appear about 20 seconds after the Mac and bootcamp partitions) and restore the image off the external drive.
One warning I would give is that the 2009 MacPro is a core i7 which is a very different and newer chipset to the 2008 version so you may end up with BSOD hell if you're unlucky, perhaps upgrading the Intel chipset drivers on the 2008 MP to current versions may negate this possibility IF they install Ok.
If it's still hosed I'd use an app like Genie backup manager (instead of Acronis or Winclone) to back all your files and settings to an external drive but not your hardware..

Cricket Australia praises BCCI boss Sourav Ganguly for 'innovative thinking'
By Team Newsable
Melbourne VIC, First Published 27, Dec 2019, 12:42 PM IST
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has come in for praise from Cricket Australia (CA) over his new idea of having a 'Super Series' ODI tournament for four nations including India
Melbourne: Cricket Australia (CA) has praised BCCI president Sourav Ganguly for planning a "Super Series" involving India, Australia, England and another top cricket nation.
Recently, Ganguly spoke about the idea of launching a four-nation One Day International tournament with the "Big Three" (India, Australia, England) and another top team.
Also read: 3 Wisden honours for Virat Kohli
"Australia, England, India and another top team will feature in the Super Series, which begins in 2021, and the first edition of the tournament will be played in India," Ganguly had said.
The BCCI and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) officials had met and the latter had said it is open to the new "Super Series".

"We meet regularly with other leaders from the major cricketing nations to share learnings and discuss topics that impact our sport. A four-nation tournament was raised at a meeting with the BCCI in December and we are open to discussions with other ICC members to see if this concept can develop," ECB said in a statement.
This idea has been welcomed by CA chief executive Kevin Roberts. However, he did not confirm whether the planned tournament will be a reality.
"I think it's an example of the innovative thinking coming out of the BCCI with Sourav Ganguly as president," Roberts said.
He added, "In his very short time, only a couple of months, we have already seen India commit to and host a day-night Test in Kolkata, so a brilliant result there. And now a suggestion around the Super Series, another potential innovation."
Former India captain Ganguly took over as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in October. Soon after taking charge, he mooted the idea of India's first-ever day/night Test and it was played at Kolkata's Eden Gardens in November.
Yesterday (December 26), Ganguly met National Cricket Academy (NCA) director Rahul Dravid and discussed ways to improve the facility that is situation at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
