Objective: To describe priority setting for new technologies in medicine.
Design: Qualitative study using case studies and grounded theory.
Setting: Two committees advising on priorities for new technologies in cancer and cardiac care in Ontario, Canada.
Participants: The two committees and their 26 members.
Main outcome measures: Accounts of priority setting decision making gathered by reviewing documents, interviewing members, and observing meetings.
Results: Six interrelated domains were identified for priority setting for new technologies in medicine: the institutions in which the decision are made, the people who make the decisions, the factors they consider, the reasons for the decisions, the process of decision making, and the appeals mechanism for challenging the decisions.
Conclusion: These domains constitute a model of priority setting for new technologies in medicine. The next step will be to harmonise this description of how priority setting decisions are made with ethical accounts of how they should be made.
Because demand for health care exceeds the supply of resources allocated to finance it, setting priorities is a problem for every healthcare system in the world. But how should we set priorities within health systems?
Two key issues lie at the heart of setting priorities—legitimacy (under what conditions should authority over priority setting be placed in the hands of a particular organisation, group, or person?) and fairness (when does a patient or clinician have sufficient reason to accept as fair particular priority setting decisions?).1
At present, decision makers and the public have difficulty determining whether particular priority setting decisions are legitimate and fair. A first step in deciding what should be done to make such decisions legitimate and fair, is to understand how groups make these decisions. 2 3
Since innovation is the primary driver of escalating healthcare costs,4 priority issues are particularly acute for new technologies. We conducted a study to develop a model describing priority setting in a specific context—new technologies in cancer and cardiac care.
Participants and methods
We used qualitative methods of case studies and grounded theory 5 6 to study two cases: the Cancer Care Ontario policy advisory committee and the Cardiac Care Network of Ontario expert panel on intracoronary stents and abciximab (a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor). The Cancer Care Ontario policy advisory committee "manage[s] the selection and introduction of all new drugs within the funds provided" (letter from A Garland, acting regional director, Ontario Ministry of Health, to president of Cancer Care Ontario, 30 July 1997). The Cardiac Care Network of Ontario expert panel on intracoronary stents and abciximab was mandated to "review current literature and practice … and recommend, where possible, a cost-effective, multi-year plan for stent volumes and use of Abciximab that supports the principles of quality of care, access and affordability."7
Sampling and sample size
We interviewed 21 of the 26 committee members (11 of 15 from Cancer Care Ontario and 10 of 11 from the Cardiac Care Network of Ontario). The cancer committee included three lay members (one of whom was a patient), a government representative, a pharmacist, a nurse, two administrators, and seven oncologists. The cardiac committee included one lay member (a patient), a government representative, an administrator, a health economist, and seven cardiologists or cardiac surgeons. All meetings of both committees were observed for at least 12 months from the formation of each committee in 1997 to December 1998. At this point, the analysis was saturated—that is, no new major domains emerged.
We reviewed information about the two organisations, the written mandate of both committees, committee minutes, correspondence to committee members, and committee reports. Semistructured interviews were conducted by a single interviewer (DKM), either in person or over the telephone, and tape recorded and transcribed. The interviewer asked respondents to describe their role on the committee and evaluate their effectiveness; describe the committee process; indicate whether the process was fair; and indicate whether the decisions were fair. We also observed, tape recorded, and transcribed the meetings of both committees.
We analysed the data in three steps. Firstly, using open coding, we identified passages of text that related to a theme or idea and then grouped similar concepts into conceptual categories (such as benefit). Secondly, using axial coding, we further developed the conceptual categories and compared them with each other (the six domains of the model). Thirdly, using selective coding, we developed a model by relating the domains to a central theme and to each other (the metaphor of a gem). The analysis was conducted simultaneously with data collection.
The trustworthiness of our findings was enhanced in three ways. Firstly, two investigators in addition to the primary analyst coded the raw data from one meeting to ensure the authenticity of the coding scheme; the final coding scheme was developed by consensus and used for the analysis. Secondly, two investigators familiar with all the primary data developed the interpretation. Thirdly, a draft of this paper was endorsed by members of both committees in a "member check."
This study was approved by the committee on use of human subjects of the University of Toronto. Each committee member interviewed provided consent.
We identified six interrelated domains of priority setting for new technologies in medicine: the institutions in which the decisions are made, the people who make the decisions, the factors they consider, the reasons for the decisions, the process of decision making, and the appeals mechanism for challenging the decisions.
Priority setting in both committees was established within a legitimate organisational context. Both organisations were created by the Ministry of Health to advise the ministry. Although the mandate of both committees included priority setting, they struggled with this. The cardiac committee debated about the distinction between making recommendations for clinical practice and for funding priorities. The cancer committee decided to advocate increased funding if it found itself denying an effective treatment to patients because of funding limits.
A key element of fairness described by committee members was that multiple stakeholder perspectives were represented. A difference emerged between the two committees with respect to the participation of lay committee members. The three lay members of the cancer committee were more satisfied with their participation than was the lone lay member of the cardiac committee. One of the cancer committee's lay members said:
I think on access issues I've been effective … I'd say that my frustrations have been fewer than I thought they would be at the start … it could be that just having community reps with this perspective sitting on that committee makes them have that awareness … So, I won't say I've been personally totally successful, but I think the process has been more successful than not in fulfilling what I think is my role.
The lay member on the cardiac committee questioned his effectiveness:
I'm a businessperson, and to walk into a medical panel where they're talking a great deal of medical topics that I knew very little about, it's very hard for me to have the confidence to question what they were doing. You try to some extent but, if there was a matter of conflict it would be very easy for me to defer to their expertise … I think if there were two of us that might have helped … So one doesn't feel quite so overwhelmed by the rest of the panel.
This comparison suggests that a critical mass of public participation is required.
The individual factors that shaped the decisions of both committees were benefit, evidence, harm, cost, cost effectiveness, and pattern of death. Benefit had the greatest role in the deliberations.
Evidence represented the degree of certainty with which the benefit was known. Sometimes the committee had to balance benefit against evidence. For instance, the cardiac committee compared high quality evidence of a small benefit from stents in patients with "favourable coronary artery lesions" with lower quality evidence of a potentially large benefit in patients with "unfavourable" lesions. When there was evidence of both benefits and harm, participants felt that individual patients, with advice from their physicians, were best suited to decide.
The total cost of providing a treatment to a group of patients led to a discussion about access and equity. For example, the cancer committee decided that patients should be treated equally regardless of whether they belonged to a relatively large or small group of patients.
Although formal data on cost effectiveness were available for only a minority of the drugs under consideration, these data were used to support decisions that were primarily made on grounds of benefit and evidence. A cardiac committee member said:
Without having hard numbers on the cost effectiveness, we did use the concept, at least, of cost effectiveness … in deciding, for example, not to recommend funding for the use of stenting in areas where we thought cost effectiveness would be unattractive.
The patterns of death of patients with cancer compared with cardiac disease influenced the deliberations of the committees. For example, the committee recognised that deterioration and death in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer could be slowed but not reversed. By contrast, the use of stents in patients with cardiogenic shock might not only prevent death but potentially return patients to their earlier state of health. The possibility of "saving" patients, even if remote, tended to influence the allocation of resources.
The reasons underlying both committees' decisions did not rest on individual factors such as those described above. Rather, both committees made decisions based on clusters of factors. Moreover, actual decision making was more complex than simply one drug and its attendant cluster of factors. Some decisions involved clusters of drugs, each with their own cluster of factors, for a single disease. Other decisions involved clusters of factors, clusters of drugs, and clusters of diseases. The box gives two examples from the cancer committee's deliberations. The first example shows how clusters of factors were used to develop a reason. The second example shows how clusters of factors, clusters of drugs, and clusters of diseases converge when reasoning through more complex decision making. This reasoning process enabled the committee members to periodically review previous decisions to evaluate the consistency of their reasoning.
Examples of decision clusters
Clusters of factors for one drug in one disease: raltitrexed for colorectal cancer
In randomised comparisons with the standard treatment (fluorouracil), raltitrexed showed equivalent benefit (on survival and response rate). The toxicity of raltitrexed was thought to be different from that of fluorouracil but not worse. Although raltitrexed is more convenient to give, it is about 200 times more expensive. Therefore, the panel reasoned that because raltitrexed is no better than the standard treatment in terms of benefit or harm, and much more expensive, it should not be funded. At a subsequent meeting, the panel decided to recommend funding for raltitrexed for patients with excessive fluorouracil toxicity or for patients who lived beyond a specific distance from a treatment centre.
Clusters of factors for two drugs in two diseases: pamidronate and clodronate for myeloma and breast cancer
On the basis of evidence of equal quality, pamidronate has been shown to give better symptom relief and prevention of complications (decreased bone pain and decreased number of fractures) than clodronate. In addition, one study showed a survival advantage with pamidronate. Pamidronate is much more costly than clodronate. The population of patients with myeloma is small, therefore the overall cost was expected be modest; however, a lack of alternatives for those patients made the need great. Some, but not all, hospitals were providing pamidronate, so province-wide funding was required to ensure equal access for all myeloma patients. The panel decided that pamidronate but not clodronate should be funded because (in the context of a small population of patients with great need) it provided enhanced survival rates and a better quality of life.
After making the decision on treatment of myeloma, the committee considered the same two drugs for breast cancer. The cluster of factors attending pamidronate and clodronate in treatment of breast cancer was similar to those for myeloma. However, the evidence for oral clodronate in breast cancer was much stronger than for myeloma, and many more patients had breast cancer than myeloma, which would make the overall cost to the programme larger. The panel decided to fund intravenous clodronate for patients who could not tolerate oral clodronate (for which alternate funding mechanisms existed) and that they would fund pamidronate only for patients who had tried and could not tolerate clodronate.
A key element of the process was transparency of decisions within the committee, although the reasoning was not widely publicised outside the committee. Participants identified other aspects of committee process that contributed to fairness: acknowledging conflicts of interest, providing the opportunity for everyone to express views, ensuring that all committee members understand the deliberations, maintaining honesty, building consensus, ensuring availability of external expert consultation, ensuring appropriate agenda setting, maintaining effective chairing, and ensuring timeliness in making funding decisions to get effective new technologies to patients.
Participants emphasised that an appeals mechanism was a key element of fairness. In response to challenges of some decisions, the cancer committee decided it should revisit decisions if new evidence or new arguments became available.
Although our findings may not be generalisable, we developed a model of priority setting in new technologies in medicine. Our model can be likened to a gemstone. Six domains—institutions, people process, factors reasons, and appeals—form the facets. Each facet may be more or less perfect (legitimate or fair) and contributes to the perfection (legitimacy or fairness) of the whole.
However, just because a group makes priority setting decisions in a particular way does not make it "right." Our goal was to describe how these groups made priority setting decisions, not to prescribe how they should make them. We did not seek to justify what makes a particular domain more or less fair.
The closest analogues to our study are the work of Foy et al8 and Hope et al.9 Foy et al found that priority setting decisions regarding new cancer drugs were based on "evidence thresholds"—cut-off points determined from information on effectiveness. Hope et al described the use of evidence of effectiveness, equity, and patient choice in a health authority's priority setting decisions. Our study describes these factors in priority setting decisions, but also places the factors in a model that includes institutions, people, process, reasons, and appeals. Our model developed in the context of new technologies for cancer and cardiac care in one province of Canada may not be applicable to other contexts such as priority setting by regional health authorities or hospitals.10
Although the elements of our model have been discussed by others,11–17 the novelty lies in integrating these elements on the basis of evidence from case studies and the perspectives of decision makers. The next step will be to harmonise this description of how groups make priority setting decisions with ethical accounts of how they should make such decisions.1
What is already known on this topic
Limited resources for health care mean that setting priorities is essential in most health systems
Although the individual elements of priority setting in health care have been described, they have not been collected into an integrated model
What this study adds
A model of priority setting for new technologies in cancer and cardiac care in Ontario was produced
The model had six domains: the institutions in which the decision are made, the people who make the decisions, the factors they consider, the reasons for the decisions, the process of decision making, and the appeals mechanism for challenging the decisions
Preliminary results were presented at the Second International Conference on Priorities in Health Care, British Medical Association, London, 8-10 October 1998.

Now in its 17th year, ZoukOut is an annual electronic music festival that brings top DJs and producers for a weekend filled with dusk-to-dawn EDM performances. Held on December 8, 2017, the 17th ZoukOut festival attracted 40,000 dance music fans to gorgeous Siloso Beach for dusk-to-dawn sets by Flume, Marshmello, R3hab, Axwell /\ Ingrosso, Amelie Lens and more.
In order to ensure superb audio quality for crowds and artists at the Star Stage, festival organizer Zouk hired sound provider Digital Aid to deploy a complete JBL VTX sound system. The VTX system's transparent sound quality enabled Digital Aid to accommodate the diverse line-up of artists with minimal sound interference from the nearby Moon Stage.
The VTX system deployed by Digital Aid included two main LR arrays of 16 VTX A12 loudspeakers and 12 VTX G28 subs on the ground across the front of the stage, with three VTX V20 loudspeakers for front fills. Digital Aid also supplied two VTX F35 loudspeakers and four VTX S25 subs to provide high-quality monitoring for the DJs onstage. Digital Aid used JBL Line Array Calculator 3.0 and Performance Manager software to configure, optimize and monitor the entire system.


I love my daughter's and they have been so great about going through all of the ups and downs with the move and the remodel after remodel that this weekend my husband and I decided to work on their rooms. I thought I would share with you a great way to decorate for kids rooms using the things that you have around, some paint, and some creativity.
It started with a framed cork board that I bought at HomeGoods for $30. We tacked up all my daughter's necklaces and pictures and buttons and stickers to make the cutest little collage seen below.
Then we started taking mirrors and things we had around the house already and hung them up in a grid type fashion. The key is that these things don't have to match, and in fact the less they match the more character and "life" your wall will take on as shown again, below.
Once I had everything hung just so, I stood back and realized that I wanted it to have a little more uniformity with the room aka spray paint baby!
And....we simply took those frames outside and gave them two coats of paint shown below.
How pretty!!!! LOVE it! You have true talent girlfriend. I wish I had all of those perfect things just laying around my house! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Thanks Danielle, but with a little bit of the right things I know you could do this too!!! All it takes are things to hang, some creativity and if all else fails some spray paint!

Young man narrowly escapes jungle justice after lady wrongly accused him of stealing underwear
a month ago 8453 views by Taiwo Owolawi
- A lady accused the young man of stealing her underwear and a mob proceeded to beat him
- However, the lady's junior sister revealed that she saw her sister put the underwear in the young man's bag
- The mob later freed the young man and beat up the lady responsible for the misunderstanding
There are tough times in the country and no matter how careful one tries to be, falling a victim of negative circumstances can happen at any time.
A Facebook user identified as Yenneh Ebobrah has recounted how he witnessed a man almost lynched over a false accusation.
According to Yenneh, a young man was accused by a lady of stealing her underwear and he was beaten up by a mob.
However the guy continued to claim innocence and explained that he was being set up. As luck would have it, the accuser's six or seven-year-old junior sister revealed that she saw her big sister put the underwear in the young man's bag.
The crowd then shifted sides by freeing the young man and beating up the lady. Eventually, she confessed that she did so because the guy was pompous and he had told her he had cars and houses in Sapele.

Yenneh wrote: "What a life? There's nothing we will not see in this big world. It was unfortunate that this one in particular happened in my presence in AG-CITY .
"As you can the pictures, the boy was accused of stealing pants by that girl. He was even beaten by some angry mobs if not for the intervention of some good Samaritans who came for his rescue. When I got to the scene I also asked the boy if truly he did it and he said he didn't that he thinks Someone is trying to set him up.
"To shorten the long story, the girl's younger sister of about 6-7years old girl confessed that the boy was innocent that she saw her elder sister with the pants in her hand and putting them in the boys bag. As usual the angry mobs ordered for her beat and she was beaten and ill-treated and later confessed that she did it because the boy was been pompous. According to her, the boy told her he has cars and houses in sapele, so that was why she accused him of stealing the pants. The boy was later freed while the girl got the beaten of her life."

Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2001
$89.00Save $9.05 (10%)
96 points Robert Parker: "Beaucastel has been on a terrific qualitative roll over the last four vintages, and the 2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape (which Francois Perrin feels is similar to the 1990, although I don't see that as of yet) is a 15,000-case blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the balance split among the other permitted varietals of the appellation. This inky/ruby/purple-colored Cuvée offers a classic Beaucastel bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, roasted herbs, black truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cherry fruit. It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mourvedre-dominated Cuvée. Full-bodied and powerful, it will undoubtedly close down over the next several years, not to re-emerge for 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025."
96 points Rhone Report: "Still incredibly youthful and a touch reserved (especially when compared to the '00), the 2001 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape still needs another 5 years to truly shine. At present, it delivers a dense, pure bouquet of meaty dark fruits, game, ripe herb, and licorice, medium to full -body, brilliant concentration, and a long, classic finish. This gradually opens in the glass so if drinking anytime soon, a short decant or longer double decant is recommended. (Sep 2011)"
96 points James Suckling: "Earthy, subtly leathery, tobacco, mushroom and rosehip nuances with potpourri and violets, too. This moves more to the soil from the fruit. A pretty red and darker cherry core. Tannins echo late again. Brilliant. Drink now. (8/14/17)"

Q: How to update/replace robots.txt file in aws cloudfront I have a website www.example.com. So when I access robots.txt file like www.example.com/robots.txt and it shows multiple lines text which is created/prepared by SEO team.
So there is a sub domain assets.example.com which is pointing to CloudFront. When I access the robots.txt file through CloudFront URL like https://assets.example.com/robtos.txt then it shows below result in the browser.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /

So there is a request to update the robots.txt file content in AWS CloudFront so https://assets.example.com/robtos.txt & https://www.example.com/robtos.txt should show the same text. I didn't find anywhere robots.txt is placed in cloud-front.
Is it possible to update robots.txt in cloudfront? Is there any role of CloudFront here? Or we need to update the robots.txt for assets.example.com same as configured for example.com?
Please help me out. I'm very confused here.

A: You can point the CloudFront distribution (assets.example.com), then add a new origin with the domain name www.example.com then add a new cache behavior with the path pattern robots.txt and add the origin to it.
This setup takes a request to assets.example.com/robots.txt and forwards it to www.example.com/robots.txt. With this, you can remove the duplications.

A: You can invalidate cached by option invalidation.
You can do following :

*

*Directly deploy build folder to S3 bucket.

*Not required to cached robots.txt file

*Whenever you deployed or upload build to S3,do the following step

*Go to cloudfront

*Do invalidation of objects

*Create entry /*

Shaquille O'Neal removes a food from his diet 'thanks' to Instagram and loses 13 kilos
11/29/2021 – 10:26 Updated: 11/29/2021 – 10:26
Doctors and nutrition experts advise patients who want to lose those extra pounds to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly. To know what foods to eat daily and what movements to include in the routine, the most advisable thing is to go to a professional. The former NBA pivot, Shaquille O'Neal, has confessed that an Instagram post has made him realize that he did not have the best habits and that he had to lose weight and lose weight.
The four-time champion, who is currently 49 years old, has counted in an interview with Men's Journal that I used to have sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, a social media post has prompted her to take a look at her diet. This reflection has allowed him to recognize that his diet was "out of date."
Before including lifestyle changes, Shaquille found a photo of an elderly man on Instagram. "I saw a 70 year old guy who had muscles everywhere", has pointed out. "So I decided to change of scene." As a result of this image, the former basketball player has stopped eating bread, the 'lemon oreos' that he savored after hours and his favorite cake.
Get your abs back
For the past six months, O'Neal has been eating "fruit, protein shakes, salads, fish, chicken, and asparagus or other vegetables" in "small amounts." Following good habits has not only allowed him to shed thirteen kilos. The American assures have strong abs, something he hadn't "seen in 20 or 30 years".
Shaquille O'Neal breaks when he remembers Kobe: "I had not felt such pain"
The confidential
"I haven't had them like that since I was on the Miami Heat in 2006.", he joked. Shaquille has confessed that he lost the desire to take care of himself after the death of two very important people in his life. In October 2019, his sister, Ayesha Harrison-Jex, barely 40 years old, passed away and, just 3 months later, in January 2020, his friend and former teammate in the Lakers did. Kobe bryant.
"My sister died before Kobe. [2020] it was a really bad year and I had no motivation whatsoever. When you do not want to do anything, but you need to stay away from problems, there are two things to 'entertain': eat and watch Netflix, "he pointed out. The American would have tried to compensate for the pain he felt with unhealthy food and wearing a style sedentary life.
"I work the strength of the chest, triceps, biceps, abs and back"
However, that photograph he saw on Instagram of the 'strong septuagenarian' would have encouraged him to get up from the sofa and start providing your body with nutritious products instead of calories. Remember that "I just started eating better and making good choices."
Evening visits to the pantry
"My problem is that I have always been a type of sandwich: for lunch, dinner and snack. And everything that happened in 2020 made me have trouble sleeping," he said. "I'd get up at three in the morning and make myself a sandwich. If he opened his eyes at five, he would do the same. "
As has been said a few lines above, to slim down and lose weight it is necessary to follow a healthy diet and exercise. In addition to modifying his eating habits, O'Neal is currently immersed in a strict routine at the gym with the goal of shedding those extra pounds and ultimately taking care of himself.
"I just started eating better and making good choices."
"I do 20 minutes of cardio and work the strength of the chest, triceps, biceps, abs, back and then I go," he detailed. Not happy with that endurance exercise, activate your heart with an 'extra' chart of "30 to 45 minutes a day". "I still have bruised hips and sore joints, so I can't be jumping and running," confessed the four-time NBA champion.

Ask him to get you a Beetel 220bx ASAP. If he is unresponsive, call up CC and put in a request. I get the feeling that these guys respond better when you contact CC directly since it probably has implications towards their incentives package.
oh yeah. talking to the local guy is not going to help much. just complain at the customer care center. get a ticket. and keep following on it till the problem is resolved.
thx for replying,so i'll ask for beetel 220 bx,the person who came for installation said to wait for one week,but i want to know is there any problem you guys face with this modem[beetel 220 bx] because in some threads there was some discussion of port forwarding and other stuff,although my pc doesn't host any server, so that will not be a problembut i occasionally use azareus , so does that work ok with this model?
in yozan modem configuration page,u can specify the username and password and the net will be connected when u start the pc.I m using this modem only.
vivekmn can you tell in detail how to set that?
i m currently using the beetel 220 bx modem for testing purposes.As soon as I get back on my Yozan modem,i will tell u the steps involved.Maybe,u will have to wait for a day or so.
Trump, please mail me on vikas.bhadauria@techie.com ... i'll mail u the guide how to configure yozan in PPPoE mode..

The woodlice of Switzerland (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea), with 6 new records from heated greenhouses
Julio Cifuentes, José D. Gilgado, Ian Bobbitt
KEYWORDS: woodlice, Switzerland, checklist, heated greenhouses, exotic species, new records
Woodlice (Isopoda: Oniscidea) represents a group of arthropods that has been neglected in Switzerland. The last comprehensive review on Swiss woodlice was published more than a century ago. In the present work, we update the checklist of woodlice in Switzerland and provide information on the distribution of each species as well as further remarks. We considered information on recent records of woodlice from different regions and habitats of Switzerland and present new species records, which are mainly based on a survey of heated greenhouses in nine botanical gardens and other institutions across Switzerland and a field survey in the Swiss National Park. Altogether, we found six new species for Switzerland. Five of them are exotic species, captured so far exclusively in heated greenhouses: Reductoniscus costulatus Kesselyák, 1930, Venezillo parvus (Budde-Lund, 1885), Chaetophiloscia cellaria (Dollfus, 1884), Nagurus cristatus (Dollfus, 1889), Buddelundiella cataractae Verhoeff, 1930b, and Miktoniscus linearis (Patience, 1908). Thus, the updated checklist of terrestrial woodlice in Switzerland comprises 50 species.

KEYWORDS: Arachnida, Mesothelae, trapdoor spiders, morphology, variation, BIOLOGY, Myanmar, Thailand
Most of the species of the Liphistius birmanicus-group are revised on the basis of genital morphology and an identification key to all species is given. Twelve species are recognized: seven previously known, five new. Liphistius metopiae Schwendinger, sp. nov. from northern Thailand, and L. tung Schwendinger, sp. nov., L. ferox Schwendinger & Huber, sp. nov., L. cupreus Schwendinger & Huber, sp. nov. and L. platnicki Schwendinger & Huber, sp. nov. from eastern Myanmar are described from both sexes. New males and females of L. birmanicus Thorell, 1897, L. pinlaung Aung et al., 2019 and L. pyinoolwin Xu et al., 2021 from the type localities are illustrated. A new locality each for L. birmanicus and for L. pinlaung is reported; additional taxonomic characters of the type specimens of L. lahu Schwendinger, 1998 are shown.

'Aboriginality' is not a political football
Wed, 14th November 2012
Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda has called for the ongoing debate in the media about the definition of Aboriginality to stop.
"It is not up to the media, politicians or academics to define whether a person is Aboriginal or not.
"Further, Aboriginality is not defined by the colour of your skin, or whether you live in a remote or urban community. These types of classification set up tensions in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as well as often irreconcilable conflicts for many individuals," said Commissioner Gooda.
"I live in metropolitan Sydney and I deal with people in Government, heads of multinational corporations and Indigenous peoples around the world while my mother was born on a mission in Central Queensland. We are both Aboriginal. I am Aboriginal. I am a proud Gangulu," Commissioner Gooda said.
Commissioner Gooda said Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples represent diverse communities and reflect the ancient histories of this country as well as contemporary Australia.
"Our Aboriginality should be something we can all be proud of, not used as a weapon to divide us."

Enservio Selects art appraisal team was recently tasked with appraising an Old Master painting believed to be by Paul Delaroche (French, 1797-1856) which was the subject of an insurance claim.

There's probably a real, scientific explanation for how long it can go, dealing with pasteurization and homogenization and all those other -ations. But truly, it just comes down to how adventurous you are. The expiration date is very much a psychological factor -- the passing of the date transforms the milk in your mind. So you smell what you expect to smell, taste what you want to taste. You can be daring, or not.
I always just throw it away. The guilt comes right after.
For pasteurized milk (refuse all substitutes), 2 or 3 days is normal, a week is uncommon, three weeks is possible (I've tried it).
When milk goes bad it's pretty easy to recognise. Several different things may happen to it: it may thicken (very common) and turn sour (just as common); one may occur without the other. Thickening by itself doesn't affect the taste at all, but milk turned sour is usually disgusting (acidity and taste vary widely). Our buttermilk (karnemelk) undergoes both processes in a controlled way, resulting in a much better taste, although opinions vary. Quite unusual is a fermentation process, where the milk will assume a sparkling taste; controlling this process leads to Norwegian kulturmelk, one of my favourite drinks.
As far as your health is concerned: these processes serve as an early warning system: they affect the milk in appearance or taste, but they do not make it unhealthy; milk turned sour is actually better protected against genuine dangers, such as moulds. If milk hasn't turned thick or sour, you can be fairly sure it's safe to drink it, and I always do.
A good indicator is hot and/or acid fluids (tea with lemon); milk will decompose much sooner in them, they can tell you if milk is turning bad before your own taste buds can. If the fluid is sour enough, even perfectly fresh milk will decompose, so use this test with caution.
PS Long after writing the above, I was told that the above statements are false, and that milk can go bad in ways that are absolutely disastrous to one's health, without any clear indication in looks, smell or taste. I have not yet attempted to seek independent verification.

Canceling Classes in case of Inclement Weather
Lycoming College is an educational institution with a predominantly residential student population. It is expected that normal operations will take place on a regular basis regardless of weather conditions. It is assumed that academic and other buildings on campus will continue to be opened and serviced. Offices will remain on a "business as usual" basis throughout a regularly scheduled workday.
Commuting students should exercise caution and good judgment in dealing with potentially hazardous travel conditions. In case of inclement weather that may require the College to be closed, delay the opening of the College, or cancel classes, announcements may be heard on the following television stations: WBRE, WNEP, WYOU. The following radio stations may also be listened to for such announcements: WRAK 1400 AM, WRKK 1200AM, WKSB 102.7 FM, WMYL 95.5 FM, WBZD 93.3 FM, WILQ 105.1 FM, WSFT 107.9 FM, WVRT 97.7 FM, and WRLC 91.7 FM.
Once a determination has been made to close the College or cancel all remaining classes due to inclement weather, an email will be sent to all users on College email system. A text alert will also be sent using the RAVE system to all users registered in the RAVE Guardian System. In case of inclement weather, inquiries may also be directed to the College Switchboard 321-4000 or the Department of Public Safety 321-4064. An all-college closure announcement will be featured prominently on the College's homepage as well as on the Inclement Weather page. In the case of a delayed start on a weekday, the College has established a compressed class schedule which will allow all classes to meet in shortened class periods.
Individual faculty who cannot make it to campus due to weather conditions are required to notify the College as early as possible on the day the class is supposed to meet. Individual class cancellations may be found on the Weather Announcements link on the Lycoming College homepage, the College Switchboard and the Department of Public Safety.
Students unable to travel to the College due to inclement weather when classes are in session should notify the Office of the Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students, 321-4039, or eldred@lycoming.edu. The Dean's office will notify the student's faculty members.

Allegations of election crimes at Maple Valley School District
Prairie Public Broadcasting | By Danielle Webster
Published February 4, 2015 at 3:50 PM CST
An investigation is now underway to determine if election crimes came into play during last month's bond referendum vote in the Maple Valley School District.
Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney says a "high variance" was noted in one of the voting precincts.
"Staff at the Maple Valley School District received information from various sources that innappropriate and potential illegal influence was being placed on arriving voters by election workers and by citizens who had a specific voting agenda. These citizens had placed themselves in a position to influence arriving voters, and the allegations state that they were within one hundred feet of the polling place while it was open for voting."
The bond referendum to spend 10 million dollars to build a new high school and renovate another school failed by ten votes. Laney says the investigation into this incident is not being taken lightly.
"Obviously, this is a very serious allegation. You know, the democratic process and the voting process is the very foundation of our nation. And we definitely need to make sure the integrity of the election process stays clean and untarnished. And that's why when this was brought to our attention, we initiated an investigation immediately."
Laney says results from the Cass County Sheriff's Department initial report have been turned over to the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Celebrity Michael Jackson
Why Wasn't Michael Jackson's Doctor Charged With Murder?
Why wasn't Michael Jackson's doctor charged with murder? What does involuntary manslaughter even mean? He deserves everything he gets!
—Wanda, New York
Just because fans were screaming "murderer" as Conrad Murray entered the courtroom today—and just because the Jackson royal family has decreed that Michael Jackson was "murdered"—doesn't mean the doctor is a homicidal maniac in the eyes of Lady Justice.
When it comes to the law, you need to put aside the fan hysteria and look at the facts.
And there's a big reason why prosecutors are going with an involuntary manslaughter charge—to which Conrad has pleaded "not guilty." Which is...
They aren't seeing the kind of evidence they'd need to pin a murder on Murray. For murder charges, the law needs to prove intent to kill—and prosecutors don't seem to think that was the case.
"You would have to show that Murray's providing Michael Jackson with propofol was done for the purpose of killing him," criminal defense attorney Joseph DiBenedetto tells me. "That would be a tremendous stretch. And prosecutors would have to show a reason why he'd want to kill Michael Jackson."
In other words, where's the motive?
Prosecutors do believe there was some recklessness going on, however. The state penal code describes involuntary manslaughter as "most common in the case of professionals who are grossly negligent in the course of their employment."
"It was done without malice," criminal defense attorney Alison Triessl posits. "They'd have to prove that he intended to kill Michael Jackson [for a murder charge]. In the information that I have and the information that has been disseminated, that's pretty much improbable. However, he knew better. He knew that this was a dangerous drug."
The punishment in California for involuntary manslaughter ranges from two to four years. However, because the charge isn't considered as serious as murder, people convicted of involuntary manslaughter generally only serve about half of their sentences, Triessl says.

Ha raggiunto la fama per l'interpretazione di Royce Du Lac nel film Spectacular!.

Dopo aver pubblicato un extended play, Alter Boy, Curtis ha inciso il suo album di debutto, 8Bit Heart, nel 2010, seguito da ∆ML, secondo album pubblicato l'anno seguente.

Curtis ha vinto la rivista il concorso "Get Famous" di Johnny Wright, è arrivato tra i dieci finalisti del "Britney Spears Samsung Superstar Tour", è stato ingaggiato dalla Disney per creare una canzone per l'evento annuale di Disneyland, è stato nominato "Ambasciatore della musica dell'Oklahoma" e infine ha vinto il premio dell'Università di Tulsa.

Biografia
Simon Curtis è nato nello stato del Michigan, Stati Uniti e cresciuto a Tulsa, Oklahoma. All'età di dieci anni, gli fu diagnosticata la leucemia. Due settimane dopo la diagnosi, la malattia andò in remissione. Dopo aver chiesto a sua madre di iscriverlo ad un'audizione mentre faceva una trasfusione di sangue, Simon conquistò un ambito ruolo nel musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Simon è dichiaratamente gay.

Carriera
Dopo anni di performance in musical e opere, Curtis cambia totalmente aspirazioni riguardo alla musica pop. Ispirato dai più famosi artisti come Britney Spears ed *NSYNC, decide di incidere il suo primo demo. All'età di 15 anni finisce di incidere il primo blocco di canzoni e inizia a venderle in proprio.

A sedici anni conosce il produttore locale Jadion, che gli offre la sua collaborazione dopo averlo visto partecipare al Britney Spears Superstar Karaoke tour a Tulsa. Qualche mese dopo, Curtis si sente pronto per affrontare nuovamente lo studio di registrazione, questa volta con un approccio più fresco, e quindi contatta il produttore Jadion. Iniziano ad incidere il primo demo e per la prima volta Curtis vede le canzoni scritte da lui diventare una realtà.

Pochi mesi prima del suo diciannovesimo compleanno, Curtis viene invitato ad andare ad abitare nella stessa casa del suo produttore e di sua moglie a Los Angeles.

All'età di vent'anni, Curtis trova finalmente la sua voce nell'appartamento di Jadion e proprio lì ultimerà il suo primo EP Alter Boy. Recentemente a Curtis e Jadion è stata commissionata la creazione di una sigla per l'annuale evento di Disneyland, Flashback, che sarebbe poi diventato un singolo per beneficenza destinato alla Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America.

Alla fine del 2009 Curtis si riunisce con Jadion e in soli tredici giorni scrive e incide 8Bit Heart. Dopo aver raggiunto ottomila utenti sul suo profilo Twitter, Curtis decide di distribuire il suo album gratuitamente sul suo sito internet. L'album viene accolto bene dalla comunità pop e viene scaricato 150 000 volte in due settimane dopo la sua messa in rete. Tutto questo viene fatto senza l'appoggio di un manager di un'etichetta discografica. Curtis spera di poter essere ingaggiato al più presto e intanto promuove il suo album sui vari blog musicali. Successivamente viene ingaggiato per aprire lo show di AJ McLean (componente dei Backstreet Boys) al Roxy Theatre il 6 maggio 2010. Nei mesi successivi Curtis lavora sul suo secondo album, che esce il 7 giugno 2011 sotto il nome di R∆.

Hey everybody! How ya been? Good? Good. Remember the chocolate bear from Barrett's smash cake in my last post? Well, I had leftover melted chocolate and about a million pretzels so I decided to cover those babies with the liquified deliciousness! It wasn't hard at all and, of course, I had a little help!
This activity ended up being perfect for me and my girls! Obviously, this it requires some supervision (we're working with a stove here!), but the heat level needed to melt chocolate/almond bark is really low, so you don't need to be too worried. Just be vigilant!
Alexa's better at sharing than I am.
So if you're looking for something to help you pass the time with your kiddos that's fun and delicious, give this a try! Although, with Spring *finally* on its way, I don't know how many people are wanting to stay indoors right now. It's so gorgeous out there! Thanks for stopping by!

In the x86 assembly programming language, MOVHPD is the name for a specific action performable by modern x86 processors with 2nd-generation Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE2). This action involves either copying a number from memory to temporary space  or copying a number from temporary space to memory.

Specifically, MOVHPD causes the value at an 8-byte memory region to be either copied to or assigned from the upper half of an XMM register.

Usage

The source operand can be either an XMM register (xmm) or a memory address (m64). When the source operand is an XMM register, the destination operand must be a memory address. When the source operand is a memory address, the destination operand must be an XMM register.

Note that the lower half of the XMM register is unaffected by this operation.

Potential exceptions

In addition to that, and because this tutorial is in a notebook, we initialize HTML rendering for R objects (pretty display of R data frames).
or with pipes (magrittr style).
The strings passed to the dplyr function are evaluated as expression, just like this is happening when using dplyr in R. This means that when writing mean(powertoweight) the R function mean() is used.
Using a Python function is not too difficult though. We can just call Python back from R. To achieve this we simply use the decorator rternalize.
It is also possible to carry this out without having to place the custom function in R's global environment.
The seamless translation of transformations to SQL whenever the data are in a table can be used directly. Since we are lifting the original implementation of dplyr, it just works.
The conversion rules in rpy2 make the above easily applicable to pandas data frames, completing the "lexical loan" of the dplyr vocabulary from R.
# `mtcars` (an R data frame) is converted to a pandas data frame.
Using a local converter lets us also go from the pandas data frame to our dplyr-augmented R data frame and use the dplyr transformations on it.
Reuse. Get things done. Don't reimplement.


CLUTCH is the ultimate solution for concealment of mission critical gear in non-permissive environments. Designed to make a combat loadout disappear under civilian clothes, CLUTCH is a must-have system for anyone conducting low-vis or undercover operations. It can also be worn as an overt belt for critical response situations, training, home defense, etc.
CLUTCH is a modular, multi-purpose belt platform that hugs the body with a two-way stretch material for a custom fit. The inside surface is backed with a no-slip material to keep it in place. Individual cells are lined with Velcro pile to secure any number of pockets, holsters, carriers, etc. A CLUTCH accessory kit is available, comprised of several elastic inserts that securely hold a number of items. CLUTCH can be completely mission-configured for any plain-clothes law enforcement, military, security, or CCW mission.
CLUTCH easily accepts most kydex holsters. Simply remove the IWB or OWB belt loops and attach adhesive-backed Velcro (included) to secure the holster in a CLUTCH cell. The same can be done with polymer mag carriers and knife sheaths. Most kydex holster makers' products will easily install in CLUTCH. Once loaded up, simply wrap CLUTCH around your waist or belly and secure the Velcro front closure. Further adjustments can be made in the rear via shock cord draw string. CLUTCH is so form fitting and adjustable that it can literally make a full loadout disappear under a sweatshirt, light jacket, or even a button-down shirt.
CLUTCH is extremely useful for plain clothes operations where users want to carry more than a compact handgun. It allows for carriage of a full size pistol, multiple reloads, radio, IFAK, etc, giving the user more capability to prosecute a fight. Because it relies on stretch material to conform to the wearer's body, CLUTCH can easily be paired with sweatpants or workout shorts and a hoodie.
CLUTCH is the most versatile concealment rig available. It is a force multiplier for missions that would otherwise relegate operators to compact weapons and less hardware.
Any pictured pouches and/or accessories are shown for demonstration purposes and NOT included but will be available separately.
Carriage Options: Handgun, Hand/Flex Cuffs, Credentials, Knife, Baton, Pistol Mags, Rifle Mags, Flash Light, Multi Tool, Radio & MORE!
Inserts: You can easily adapt existing gear to the CLUTCH system. Works with most low-profile kydex and injection-molded holsters and mag carriers up to 4.5″ wide, simply remove any existing mounting hardware and apply the included high-strength velcro according to the included instructions. Also available from UNITY is the low-profile and highly adaptable CLUTCH Insert Kit.


We are so pleased to have Dr. Manisha Vaja – Founder- herexpertise.com in our Top 100 #AspringShe Women Achievers list! Wonderful thoughts and indeed great efforts to empower educated women!
Herexpertise.com what is the whole idea behind this initiative?
It was never a plan being a complete nontechno person like me but I have noticed quite many times that there are women , who are exceptional & being a change within their own limits but most of us would remain unaware of their expertise. And there should be a unique platform where these unsung inspirational divas get fair chance to let the people know about their expertise, their stories, journey and their passion. And that thought motivated me to start an online portal in 2015.
I can say firstly, Thank you for calling my efforts, a Success. Well, Gender inequality status of women around me and the mindset of society for women played a huge role pushing me to do things which I am doing right now.
Well, till now it's like the roller coaster ride. There were many incidences which I felt like quitting. I lost the every hope. But there is something which inspired me not to give up. May be the thought that if I won't who will then. even there came situations where I felt overwhelmed with the unpredictable responses and admiration I got. The total Journey till now in this particular field is like a Bollywood movie with full of drama, entertainment, sadness, anger, frustration and happiness of course.
Hmmm…. This I have never confessed before as I never have asked this before. There was tuition teacher of mine Vrundaben, by whom I was fascinated. I always wanted to be like her. But I am very tiny one infront of her where I can only think of trying hard to be like her. And though being so much inspired by her, I have never expressed my feeling or gratitude to her.
Other than being moody, bossy, possessive over emotional one thing which is exclusive about me (What I think) is I believe in making a change. No matter what it takes.
Women around me, everytime I find the dose of my inspiration from the most unexpected her.
I don't want to reach to any destination. I would like to make my journey more meaningful.
On a lighter side do you love traveling! which is your most cherished destination!
I would love to travel but I would not consider myself a travel freak as I hardly get time or you can say motivation to indulge myself in this luxury. But yh I always plan it in my mind which never turns into reality. Any costal area may be an island where I can spend time with self.
Don't wait for the perfect time just make it the one.
What would be your message to our readers!
If I am not wrong, this would be read by both him/her, right!! So, I would like to tell them to be little bit sensitive. Let's not criticize others for everything. And try to help them in any way, you feel comfortable in at-least don't demoralize them. We never know after how many efforts one has reached to the point where he/she feels worth taking his/her stand.


The notion of the fanperson as incapable of embracing sartorial excellence is a thing of the past -- sure, there are plenty of us out there wearing the same "Han Shot First" t-shirt we've had since 2004, but more and more, we're finding that sporting cool clothes and letting one's geek flag fly are not mutually exclusive propositions.
This was on display in a big way at the fan-fueled runway show Her Universe put on at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. We checked out the event and got an exclusive take on the fusion of sci-fi/fantasy and fashion from Her Universe founder (and voice of Ahsoka Tano on Clone Wars) Ashley Eckstein, cosplay queen Yaya Han, YouTube sensation iJustine, and more.

Black Man Who Attended The KKK Rallies For 30 Years Made 200 Of Them Leave The Klan
Daryl Davis is a professional musician by trade, touring all over the states performing blues. However, music is not his only passion. Davis has spent over 30 years talking to and befriending the members of the Ku Klux Klan. One might ask why would a black man do that and the reason is quite simple — Davis is trying to understand the reasoning behind racism and end it not by opposing, but by listening and communicating.
His quest began when he was only 10 years old, at a scout parade, when a group of white people started throwing bottles and rocks at the only black boy in scouts group. That was the first time Davis encountered such a violent reaction and when his parents explained to him it was because of his skin color, Daryl only had one question — why? "It was inconceivable to me that someone who had never laid eyes on me, never spoken to me, knew absolutely nothing about me would want to inflict pain upon me for no other reason than the color of my skin" he explained. "How can you hate me when you don't even know me?" was the question that Davis kept in his mind through the years as he studied various books on racism. But books couldn't provide the answer, so when he grew up he decided to go and ask the people of the Ku Klux Klan.
Through 30 years Davis managed to talk 200 people to leave the KKK, as they would listen to his performances and talk to him often. One of them was Roger Kelly who was the Grand Dragon of the KKK in Maryland. Kelly became close friends with Davis, even inviting him to become his daughter's godfather. Upon leaving the clan, Roger Kelly handed his robe to Davis. He keeps the robes as trophies and proofs that racism can be beaten. With over 3 decades of experiences, Davis has written a book "Klan-destine Relationships" as well as was the focus of "Accidental Courtesy" documentary.
Daryl Davis is a hero who managed to strip people of ignorance and ill intent with compassion and understanding, despite facing prejudice and hate just because of his skin color.
