How The Drugs Work
Drug Classes
HAART is the acronym for "highly active antiretroviral therapy," a term coined in the late 1990s to describe the effectiveness of combination drug therapies used to treat HIV. The term is less commonly used today given that modern antiretrovirals are more than just "highly active" but able to afford people with HIV near-normal life expectancy and prolonged, disease-free health.
Even so, HAART remains a seminal turning point in the HIV pandemic and the foundation on which modern antiretroviral therapies are built.

Prior to HAART, the use of one or two antiretroviral drugs afforded limited control of the virus, resulting in rapid treatment failure and the development of multi-drug resistance.
It was with the introduction of a class of drugs called protease inhibitors in 1995 that doctors were able to combine three or more drugs in a way that stopped HIV from replicating at different stages of its life cycle.
With the advent of HAART, the number of HIV-related deaths in the United States and Europe plummeted by more than 50% within the span of three short years.
Those gains have been seen in other parts of the world as well, with the United Nations now aiming to place the majority of the world's HIV-positive population on antiretrovirals and effectively end the pandemic by 2030.
A Short History of HIV/AIDS
How Antiretrovirals Works
Antiretroviral drugs do not kill HIV; rather, they block different stages in the virus's life cycle—from the time it attaches to a cell to the time it creates new copies of itself to infect other cells.
The combination of drugs works as something of a biological "tag team," suppressing a wide range of HIV variants that can exist within a single population. If one drug is unable to suppress a certain viral type, the others usually can.
By keeping the viral population fully suppressed (undetectable), there are fewer circulating viruses in the bloodstream and fewer opportunities for the virus to mutate into a drug-resistant variant.
What Is a Viral Load and Why Is It Important?
In the past, HAART was equated to triple-drug therapy. Today, because of improved pharmacokinetics, some antiretroviral therapies consist of only two drugs.
There are currently six classes of antiretroviral drugs able to treat HIV, each of which inhibits a specific stage in the virus's life cycle:
Entry/attachment inhibitors
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs)
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)
Protease inhibitors (PIs)
Integrase inhibitors (INIs)
Pharmacokinetic enhancers ("booster drugs")
As of 2021, there are 26 individual antiretroviral drugs licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as 22 fixed-dose combination drugs comprised of two or more antiretroviral agents.
While antiretrovirals typically require daily dosing, an injectable option called Cabenuva (cabotegravir + rilpivirine) was approved by the FDA in 2021, requiring only two shots once monthly to keep the virus fully suppressed.
Complete List of Approved HIV Drugs
In addition to preventing disease progression in people with HIV, the widespread use of antiretrovirals can reverse infection rates in many high-risk populations. The strategy, known as treatment as prevention, aims to reduce the "community viral load" within a population, making it more difficult to spread infection.
The same aims can be achieved on an individual level. According to a landmark study published in the May 2019 issue of The Lancet, achieving and sustaining an undetectable viral load reduces the risk of HIV transmission to zero.
With the appropriate precautions, heterosexual couples can even have babies safely when one partner has HIV and the other doesn't.
Moreover, when antiretroviral therapy is started early, the risk of severe HIV-associated diseases and non-HIV-associated illnesses (like cancers and heart disease) is reduced by as much as 72%, according to research published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Findings like these only punctuate the need for early testing and treatment.
HIV Statistics You Should Know
A Word From Verywell
HAART altered the course of the AIDS pandemic in the late-20th and early-21st centuries. The benefits extended not only to people with HIV but to others around them.
Today, antiretrovirals can even be used in non-infected people to further reduce their risk of infection. By taking one pill a day, an HIV-negative person can reduce their risk of getting the virus by as much as 99%.
The strategy, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), is currently recommended for people at high risk of infection, including serodiscordant (mixed-status) couples, injecting drug users, and those who engage in protected anal or vaginal sex.

Stereophonics release 'Fly Like An Eagle' track
Posted on 16th August 2019 By Sophia
Since releasing 'Chaos From The Top Down' in February, Stereophonics have returned with a new track and news of a new album. 'Fly Like An Eagle' (and no, it's not a cover of that Steve Miller's Band track) is the first single from the Welsh rockers' upcoming eleventh studio album Kind.
'Fly Like An Eagle' inspires you to leave your comfort zone and enter a world of endless possibility. While they beam with confidence, Stereophonics are undoubtedly themselves. Plus, it is so nice to hear them breath new a new lease of life into their music too. "It's about changing and growth, and learning, not relying on the comfort zones of your life" revealed frontman Kelly Jones. Moreover, we also have a lovely music video from Charlotte Regan, which stars Peaky Blinders actor Charlie Creed-Miles.
Kelly Jones has co-produced the new album with George Drakoulias. Jones has spoken about Kind. "By November I had a load of songs that just came through me, lyrics just filling up pages, no crossings out, complete songs formed. They became a very open and to be honest, bunch of really vulnerable songs about things I hadn't quite worked out for myself, the songs began to inform me how I was feeling." After being recorded in just eleven days at The Distillery in Wiltshire, the record promises to be stripped back and raw record. Exciting times indeed!
'Fly Like An Eagle' music video
Kind will be out on October 25th via Parlophone Records. Check out the tracklist below.
1. I Just Wanted The Goods
2. Fly Like An Eagle
3. Make Friends With The Morning
4. Stitches
5. Hungover For You
6. Bust This Town
7. This Life Ain't Easy (But It's The One That We All Got)
8. Street Of Orange Light
9. Don't Let The Devil Take Another Day
10. Restless Mind

Digging Down: Learning What Earth Is Made of as It Sails Through Space
As a youngster, Dan once tried to dig to China.
Dan Rattiner September 14, 2019
Cartoon by Mickey Paraskevas
Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Share via Email Print
When I was a little boy, my best friend Mark and I got out some shovels and dug a hole in the backyard. We'd heard that if you dug down far enough, you could come out in China. We didn't get very far. Just four or five feet down we hit muddy water, and after that, no matter how we dug, the hole filled up with muddy water again. There wasn't going to be any China with people walking around upside down. At least not on our watch.
I think after that, for a long time, we thought the huge ball of the Earth was all just a compact sphere of rocks, dirt and mud. You could still get to China, maybe if you zig-zagged around things. But we didn't have the proper tools.
Well, in high school we learned more. The Earth spins and is fatter in the middle and narrower on its axis. It is held together by something called gravity. Nobody has been down there to figure out what it is. But maybe someday soon somebody will get down there.
Personally, I thought that might be a dangerous thing to do if we got down there. We might fiddle with it, get it switched off, and then everybody would fly off. Then the Earth would fall apart.
It did inspire me to write a little cartoon book, which got published by the Permanent Press in the 1970s, called What To Do If Gravity Fails. It might have been suitable for children. But then, maybe not. It went out into the literary world not with a bang but a whimper, as the poet once said. I still have copies.
Also in the 1970s, as a young man publishing a newspaper in the Hamptons, I decided to get the people in my part of the world more interested in things at Dan's Papers by holding a contest. It looked like an ad. "How Far Do Dan's Papers Travel?" Take a copy of the paper with you when you travel to faraway places in the off season and send it back to us from the furthest away you can get. The postage cancellation stamp will show you are telling the truth. (This was long before email.)
It became a very popular contest. I had intended to hold it for one year. But it went on for years, 20 altogether. There were hundreds of entries every year. Some were accompanied by photographs of people holding up a copy of Dan's Papers in front of the Eiffel Tower, the Victoria Falls in South Africa, the Taj Mahal in India. One entry came from the South Pole with a note saying it had been parachuted down with the packet of supplies delivered from a helicopter flying overhead.
It was fun sorting through all of these entries. But in running this contest, I studied the latitudes and longitudes and learned the exact spot on the other side of the globe was not in China. It was in the Indian Ocean, the nearest land being down under at Augusta, Australia, a summer (winter) resort town on a peninsula just like the Hamptons, sticking out into the Indian Ocean just 100 miles south of the city of Perth, Australia. There were inns, motels, fish, potatoes, wine and surfers. Just a three-hour drive from Perth. Our twin. Ooooh, a mirror of the Hamptons. And several times during those 20 years, people sent us newspapers postmarked from the Augusta post office.
But again, there was no direct tunneling through, and none likely. Our scientists using radar waves had by this time found that in the center of the Earth was a huge, heavy iron ball the size of the moon. Called the "core," it floats inside an underground ocean of liquid metal. Think of the Earth as an egg. The shell, the white and the yolk, but the white is hot and liquid. That's our Earth's core.
Nobody was ever going to go down there. Not in my lifetime anyway. And forget going through to Augusta that way. Sadly, you have to go around.
I mention all this because in recent weeks, new discoveries about the core have come to light. The Earth, spinning around on an axis once every 24 hours, has caused the giant core to spin, almost exactly but not quite at the same speed as the dirt, rocks and mud surface surrounding it. An article in National Geographic describes the difference of that speed.
"If you stood on a spot at the equator for one year, the part of the inner core that was previously beneath you would wind up under a spot 4.8 miles away," author Maya Wei-Haas wrote. She quoted Paul Richards, a seismologist at Columbia University who was among those first documenting the super-rotation of the inner core. "Something is changing down there," Richards said.
And now scientists are debating different aspects of this super-rotation and putting forth separate interpretations. Maybe the super-rotation is slowing. Or speeding. Maybe it is just wobbling and we are reading a mistake. Or maybe it is changing shape as it moves, like some giant oversized blob in its overheated bath, and we are reading a bulge rather than a spin.
Maya Wei-Haas describes this fascinating story. Early on, scientists were measuring the shivers in the Earth when volcanos exploded or earthquakes moved things. But now they are focusing on data compiled in Montana of two separate nuclear bomb tests set off in the old Soviet Union during the Cold War on a remote Russian island called Novaya Zemlya. The first bomb was exploded on September 27, 1971. And the second bomb was exploded in exactly the same place but three years later. We are now, with super computers, able to compare the differences in the Earth's shiver and its rebounding ping from the iron core, as supplied on old Montana computer tapes from the first nuclear test to the second.
When you think about all this, it suggests the Earth is rattling and shivering along like an old Model T Ford. We're barely keeping it together. We're fat in the middle and long top to bottom. We wobble. We throw off molten lava and develop cracks. (Fracking is dangerously shivering Oklahoma and other places, if you didn't know.) Our circling of the sun is not a circle but an oval—we fall off farther away for a while, then come in close for a while— our spinning is on an axis that is slowly changing but meanwhile is offering differing views of the sun high in the sky and a moon that can't figure out what to do so just sits there, circling the Earth and at all times apparently awaiting instructions.
Here in the Hamptons, we watch the clouds in the atmosphere scuttle by, unable to quite keep up with the Earth's spinning so that mostly the change in the weather, with its attendant lightning, thunder and rain, is arriving from the west to the east, with a three-month season of violent hurricanes where great swirling winds of rain wrench their way up the eastern coast of North America to clobber us, mostly missing but every once in a while achieving a stunning direct hit.
And the sunsets—such great fireworks in the sky when the angle of the sun has to peek through the lens of our atmosphere on the horizon. These spectacular sunsets come earlier and earlier, from a late evening in June to a late afternoon spookiness of December.
Why can't our evening sunsets coordinate with our tourist season, anyway? Let them arrive in the spring later and later, leading into Memorial Day, then peak in July and August, and then finally begin to come earlier around Columbus Day. That would make perfect sense here.
What a complicated, barely held together mess it all is, staggering along with the sun and the other planets in the solar system (have you heard what has happened to Pluto? It's just ice. Not a planet at all!) crashing through the vacuum of space to God knows where. And he knows. He really knows.

Q: getting all checked checkboxes and creating li elements with them is not working I am trying to get all checked checkboxes and create li elements with them. I want the li elements to show up as soon as the checkboxes are checked.
And can I do that without using value attribute in input? I already looked up there is a way to do that with value but that doesn't work with my code.
I have this code

const checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input').type == 'checkbox';

function getChecked() {
    let checked = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
        let checkbox = checkboxes[i];

        if (checkbox.checked) {
            const rightBox = document.getElementsByClassName('main-container-2')[0];
            const newDiv = document.createElement('div');
            rightBox.appendChild(newDiv);

            const ul = document.createElement('ul');
            newDiv.appendChild(ul);
            const li = document.createElement('li');
            ul.appendChild(li);

            const label = document.createElement('label');
            li.innerHTML = label.innerHTML;
          }
        }

        return checked;
    };

getChecked();

          <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1">
          Onion

          <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox2">
          Spring Onion

          <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox3">
          Egg

This image is my goal.

A: Your checkboxes select was wrong, so I fixed it in the first place.
You should add a onclick function to all of your checkboxes.
Inside that function you should empty the list and loop trough all checkboxes.
When a checkbox is checked, then add a li to your list.
The code below works.

const checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]');

function getChecked() {
    let checked = [];
    const ul = document.getElementById('ingredients');
    ul.innerHTML = "";
    for (let i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
        let checkbox = checkboxes[i];
        if (checkbox.checked) {
            const li = document.createElement('li');
            li.innerHTML = document.querySelector('label[for="' + checkbox.id + '"]').textContent.trim();
            ul.appendChild(li);
         }
      }
      return checked;
};

          <input type="checkbox" onclick="getChecked()" id="checkbox1">
          Onion

          <input type="checkbox" onclick="getChecked()" id="checkbox2">
          Spring Onion

          <input type="checkbox" onclick="getChecked()" id="checkbox3">
          Egg

your ingredients

A: I give you an example for your reference:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
  const checkBoxes = document.querySelectorAll("input[type=checkbox]");
  for (let i = 0; i < checkBoxes.length; i++) {
    let checkBox = checkBoxes[i];
    checkBox.addEventListener("click", e => {
      if (e.target.checked) {
        const rightBox = document.getElementsByClassName('main-container-2')[0];
        const newDiv = document.createElement('div');
        rightBox.appendChild(newDiv);

        const ul = document.createElement('ul');
        newDiv.appendChild(ul);
        const li = document.createElement('li');
        ul.appendChild(li);

        let l=e.target.nextElementSibling;
        li.innerHTML = l.innerHTML;
      }
    });
  }
});

      <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1">
      Onion

      <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox2">
      Spring Onion

      <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox3">
      Egg

Six People Dead After Plane Crash in Texas
Update: Jeffrey Weiss, the pilot, who also owned the plane, was a philanthropist who regularly volunteered to transport people in need of medical care, the New York Post reported on Tuesday.
This is a stock photo of a crash of a small plane. It is not a photo of the Beechcraft BE58 crash in Texas.
By Grace Carr Published on April 23, 2019 •
Six people perished in a fatal plane accident Monday after the small aircraft crashed in central Texas.
Everyone aboard the twin-engine Beechcraft BE58 died in the crash, The Associated Press reported. The plane crashed just a few miles from Kerrville Municipal Airport where it was meant to land. The plane had taken off from a Houston-area airport and was not scheduled as a commercial flight, according to the report.
The fatal crash occurred shortly before 9 a.m. as it approached the airport, roughly 70 miles from San Antonio, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford. FAA officials haven't yet determined the cause of the crash.
There was no inclement weather, heavy rains or winds near Kerrville at the time of the plane crash, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Cory Van Pelt.

The names of the five passengers on board haven't been released, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman, Sgt. Orlando Moreno, the AP reported.
Raytheon Aircraft manufactured the plane in 1999. Two individuals together own the plane, according to the news agency.
FAA and National Transportation Safety Board officials arrived at the scene shortly following the crash. They will continue investigating what might have caused the fatal crash.

Toxoplasmosis is a cosmopolitan disease with acute and chronic infections, caused by the obligate intracellular protozoan parasite. Toxoplasma gondii that can infect a variety of cells in almost all warm blooded animals including humans. The study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection among males in Duhok city using ELISA (IgG and IgM).The relationship between toxoplasmosis and reproductive hormones including testosterone, free testosterone, and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and its association with male sterility were also investigated.
Keywords:Toxoplasmosis; Acute and Chronic infection; Male Sex Hormones
Toxoplasmosis is a cosmopolitan zoonotic disease with acute and chronic infections caused by obligate intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii [1]. Toxoplasmosis is ubiquitous disease that can infect a variety of cells in almost all warm blooded animals including humans [2]. In immunocompetent patient, the primary infection of toxoplasmosis is asymptomatic or self-limited. Symptoms ranged from fever, malaise to cervical lymphadenopathy [2].
Toxoplasmosis is a very important reason behind bad obstetrical history (BOH) and causes serious health problems resulting in abortions and congenital disease in pregnant woman especially if the parasite is transmitted to the fetus early in pregnancy [3].
T. gondii may infect male reproductive organ tract and causing testicular damage [4]. Chronic toxoplasmosis showed an impression on men generative parameters [5].
It is also known that T. gondii induce changes of behavioral and neurophysiological condition in infected human and animal hosts [6,7]. Worldwide some studies have been conducted on detection of T. gondii infection in men particularly the effects of toxoplasmosis on male hormonal parameters [8].
Regarding Iraq and Kurdistan region, there are limited studies in this direction such as, Al-Saadii who studied (the effect of toxoplasmosis on the level of some male sex hormones in samples from National Blood Transfusion Center/Baghdad) and also Bassad et al. in Iraq/Thiqar who studied the (the prevalence of toxoplasmosis among male blood donors) [9,10]. Regarding to Kurdistan, In Kalar city, a study by Al-Bajalan et al. indicated that there is a relationship presence of an association between toxoplasmosis and secondary infertility [11]. Since the prevalence of T. gondii in primary infertile, secondary infertile and fertile males among 260 persons attending the hospital were 45.16%, 53.33%, and 47.37%, respectively by using ELISA tests (Table 1 and 2).
In Duhok province, there is no any study dealing with the effect of toxoplasmosis on the levels of male sex hormones and fertility. Therefore the main objective of the present study are to find out the correlation between T. gondii infection (acute, chronic), and the levels of serum testosterone, serum follicle stimulating hormone and fertility in a group of healthy blood donor males and those who visited the IVF center of Azadi teaching hospital.
In order to determine:
1- The rate of Toxoplasma infections among males in Duhok city using ELISA (IgM and IgG).
2- To find out the relationship between toxoplasmosis and blood groups and some demographic factors (Figure 1).
3- To investigate the relationship between toxoplasmosis and sex hormonal disturbances in seropositive males such as, testosterone (total, free) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels.
Methods and Patients
Blood samples were collected from 248 apparently healthy males; their ages were between 21 and 60 years. They were attending the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) center in Azadi Teaching hospital and the Central Blood Bank in Duhok city during the period from November 2016 to the end of July 2017. Before collecting the samples, a questionnaire was prepared and designed which covers various details. From each donor, 5ml of blood was withdrawn by vein puncture, placed in plain tubes and centrifuged. The serum was dispensed into 1ml labeled eppendorf tubes and stored at −20 oC until serological and hormonal tests were performed.
Frequency percentage was performed to determine the prevalence of affected persons by T. gondii and mean standard deviation was used to understand the reproductive male hormones concentrations. One way ANOVA and chi-square tests were performed for statistical analyses. The independent t-tests and chi-square tests were performed to determine the association between toxoplasma and reproductive hormones and infertility.
Required Kits:
• The Bioactiva Toxoplasma IgG and IgM ELISA Kits were used.
• The Monobind Total & Free Testosterone and FSH ELISA were used.
The mean age of the studied participants was 37.29± 8.07 years. 22.98% of male samples appeared to be affected by T.gondii infection. The mean concentrations of the male reproductive hormones were 6.15±1.03 ng/ml (total testosterone), 14.81±4.71pg/ml (Free Testosterone), 4.84±2.20 IU/ml (Follicle-stimulating hormone), 0.54±0.22 (IgM), and 0.62±0.75 (IgG). A significant difference was found in the samples in terms of infertility (p<0.0001), while p-values for testosterone (P>0.05), free testosterone (P>0.05) and follicle-stimulating hormone (P>0.05), were non-significant.
The present study showed a high rate of T. gondii among males in Duhok city with significant difference (P<0.05) in infertility between T. gondii seropositive and seronegative samples.
Seropositivity of Toxoplasma gondii
According to Age: The current study showed out of 248 apparently healthy males from different ages (22-60) years enrolled in this study, 57(22.98%) were seropositive for T. gondii antibodies. The rate of the infection increased with the increase in the age from 5.6% in the (22-30) year's group to 11.3% in the (31-40) years group up to the age group (41-50) years at which was decreased to 5.6%, then dramatically decreased to 0.4% at the age group (51-60) years.
Various rates of seropositivity of T. gondii Abs using different serological tests have been reported among different age groups in previous studies performed in different parts of Kurdistan and Iraq, in some of them higher rates were reported, while in others lower rates than that reported in this study, this might be due to sample size, method of calculation, residency, age, type of test used, or other factors (Table 2, Table 3).
The Distribution of Toxoplasmosis using ELISA IgG and IgM According to Blood Group
This study showed that the overall seropositivity of toxoplasmosis among different blood groups was 22.98%. Regarding blood groups, males of group B+ aged (31-40) years showed the highest rate (5.2%) followed by 3.6% in males of blood group O+ of same ages (Table 4) (Figure 2 and 3).
The present results partly agree with those of Al-Kaysi et al. who found the highest percentage of seropositivity of T.Gondii [12] Abs in males of blood groups O+ and AB which were 35.8% and 38%, respectively.
According to Residency
Regarding residency, the results of the current study on seropositivity of T. gondii in rural and urban areas, showed a high percentage in rural areas. It is evident that people living in rural areas are more likely to be affected by different types of infectious microorganism such as, T. gondii due to more contact with animals. Regarding the age, ages from 31-40 and 41-50 years showed, higher rates of Toxoplasma Abs(6.4 and 3.6%, respectively) as compared to urban inhabitants (Table 5 and 6).
According to Occupation: The results of the present study showed that toxoplasmosis seropositivity was different statistically with respect to occupation for difference of IgG and IgM for official and private occupation. The ages (31-40), (20-30), and (41-50) years in public sectors showed higher percentage of seropositivity (6.0%, 3.6%, and 1.6%), respectively and the age group 31-40 years in private sector (5.2%) (Table 7) (Figure 4).
Effects of Toxoplasma gondii on Humans
The current study concentrated on the effects of T. gondii on male reproductive hormones including testosterone, free testosterone, an FSH, as well as, their impact on male fertility. The different aspects of scrutinized characteristics of the patients are analyzed in the following sections (Table 8) (Figure 5).
The Relation between Toxoplasma gondii and Reproductive Hormones and Fertility in Males
The present study showed that there is a significant difference of male reproductive hormones between fertile and infertile males. Male infertility is caused by acquired or congenital urogenital abnormalities, infections in urogenital tract, increase in scrotum temperature, endocrine disturbances, hereditary abnormalities, and immunological factors [13]. Infectious agents such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites are able to interfere with reproductive hormones and functions in male and female populations. The different organs of the male reproductive tract including testis, epididymis, or male accessory sex glands could be affected by infections (Table 9).
The present study showed that the males infected with toxoplasmosis had the highest significant differences (P<0.001) with the mean concentration of serum FTH. Males with seropositive anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibodies and anti- Toxoplasma IgM antibodies revealed the highest mean concentration levels of 19.61pg/ml and 16.13pg/ml for FTH hormones.While TTH and FSH hormone showed non- significant difference (P>0.05) for the mean concentration between acute and chronic males infected with toxoplasmosis (Figure 6).
From the present study, the followings are concluded:
1. The overall seropositivity rate of T. gondii was 22.98% in the tested sample, 6.45% with acute and 16.35% with chronic toxoplasmosis.
2. Regarding age, the highest rate (11.3%) of toxoplasmosis was among the age group (31-40) years.
3. Males with O+ and B+ blood groups showed higher percentage of infection with Toxoplasma in comparison to other blood groups. 4. Infertile males had higher percentage of both acute and chronic toxoplasmosis.
5. Official workers showed a higher rate (51.22%) of chronic toxoplasmosis than private worker (48.78%), while acute infection was higher (56.25%) in private workers than official (43.75%).
6. Rural inhabitants revealed high rates of both acute and chronic toxoplasmosis, in comparison to urban inhabitants.
7. The age group (22-30) years scored higher mean concentration of TT and FT in both acute and chronic infected males, while the age group (51-60) years showed a lower mean concentration of TT and FT in both acute and chronic infected males.
8. The TT and FT hormone levels recorded highest significant differences between fertile and infertile males. According to acute toxoplasmosis the infertile males showed a higher mean concentration of both TT and FT hormones. While fertile cases, showed lowest significant differences.
9. FSH showed higher value (6.87 and 6.54 IU/ml) and (4.68 and 5.9 IU/ml) for acute and chronic toxoplasmosis in infertile and fertile men, respectively.

The narrator and main character, Jacob Portman, sets up the story for the reader by introducing his grandfather, Abraham Portman. His grandfather is a well-traveled man who has been in the circus and fought in wars. At age 6, Jacob had decided he would become an explorer to lead an exciting life like his grandfather's. Jacob's parents explained to him that he could not be an explorer, and he felt cheated. As he grew older, Jacob felt further cheated when he considered how his grandfather's stories couldn't be true.

Hearthstone tournament taking place at EGX Rezzed
Show tickets still available for Friday and Sunday and on sale on the door.
News by	Tom Bramwell, Contributor
Updated on 27 March 2014
EGX Rezzed kicks off at the Birmingham NEC tomorrow and if you needed any more impetus to consider joining us there then perhaps a Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft tournament will tickle your mana curve?
The tournament is running on 16 screens throughout the show, which runs from Friday to Sunday, and it's not a straight knockout or anything - Blizzard and the ESL, who will be running things, have put together some interesting formats.
The first is a simple race to get the fastest win against the AI on hard mode, so polish off your Hunter rush decks.
For those who like to control the pace instead, there's also a deck-building competition, where entrants will be rewarded for the most original deck with the most potential as judged by event staff. (And yes, they've seen all the miracle Rogue variations and Trump's Mage deck, so give it up.)
Finally there's "For Threedom!" This is an eight-person competition that runs regularly throughout the show and limits players to cards that cost three mana crystals or less. Arcane Golem FTW!
Winners in each category will pick up some fabulous prizes courtesy of Blizzard (details to be confirmed at the show).
Tickets for Saturday at EGX Rezzed have pretty much sold out now, although if you hurry over to www.egxrezzed.net then you might catch the last one or two, but you can still pick some up for Friday or Sunday if you fancy coming along. Tickets for those two days will also be on sale on the door at the NEC.
For more on EGX Rezzed, including details on all the games playable on the show floor and the developer session schedule, check out the What's On page on the official site. And if you're coming along, do say hello.
Full disclosure: in case it wasn't already obvious, EGX Rezzed is organised by Gamer Network, which publishes Eurogamer.net. We help out with content curation although we have no involvement in the commercial side. For more details on this sort of thing, check out the How We Work page.

Richards Makes History at Potomac Speedway Topping
World of Outlaws Late Model Series All-Time Win List
SHINNSTON, W.Va. (Aug. 15, 2016) – Josh Richards continued his record-breaking season scoring wins at Delaware International Raceway on Thursday, Potomac Speedway on Friday and Eriez Speedway on Sunday to propel him to the top of the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series All-Time Win List with 74 Series victories. Richards also collected a top-five finish at Winchester (Va.) Speedway on Friday.
Traveling to Delmar, Del., on Thursday, Richards unloaded and began the night by running the quickest circuit in hot laps. He then went on to qualify second in Group B, which lined him up on the pole for the fourth and final heat race. Richards jumped out front early and never looked back leading all 10 laps en route to the heat race win. Eligible for the redraw to determine his starting position in the Feature, Richards drew the sixth starting spot. Lining up on the outside of Row 3, the Valvoline driver quickly advanced to fourth, just five laps after the drop of the green flag. A caution-period on Lap 8 bunched the field and Richards took advantage, jumping to second after the ensuing restart. Just two laps later, the West Virginia native made a dominant pass for the lead, taking command of the field on Lap 10 of the 50-lap event. Once out front, the superstar driver easily led the remaining 40 laps, to win by a straightaway over second-place Brandon Overton. The win marked Richards' 14th World of Outlaws Series triumph of the year.
Coming off of a convincing victory from the night before, Richards felt confident going into Friday's event at Potomac speedway in Budds Creek, Maryland. It didn't take long for the team to show their strength as Richards again turned the overall quickest circuit in hot laps. He then went on to win the night's fast-time award in qualifying. Lining up on the pole for Heat Race 3, Richards led flag-to-flag to bring home the win. Again drawing for his starting position in the main event, Richards picked the fourth spot. Taking the green flag from the outside of Row 2, the Rocket Chassis driver maintained his position in the early laps as numerous caution-periods plagued the field. Waiting until the time was right, Richards began to march forward, overtaking the third spot on Lap 24. Just two laps later he was running in second when a caution-flag re-stacked the field. Making his move on the ensuing restart, Richards took over the top spot on Lap 27. Running in the point position, the Valvoline driver never looked back leading the remainder of the 50-lap event to collect his 73rd World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series victory putting him on top of the all-time Series win list.
Saturday, Richards and crew headed to Winchester (Va.) Speedway and he began the evening by running the second fastest lap in Group A qualifying. His time-trial effort lined him up on the pole for the night's second heat race. Leading flag-to-flag, Richards collected the heat race win. With the top-two finishers of each heat race eligible for the redraw, the Valvoline driver drew the sixth starting spot for the 50-lap Feature. Lining up deeper in the field than he would have liked, Richards was determined to move forward on a track that saw little passing earlier in the evening. Five laps after the drop of the green flag, the 28-year-old was able to advance to fifth, but was forced to remain there as the frontrunners quickly spread out single-file. A much-needed caution period came near the halfway point of the race, bunching the field for the ensuing restart. Using the restart to his advantage, Richards muscled his way to fourth on Lap 25, knowing cautions may be his only chance to pass. As the laps wore on, Richards tried everything he could to find speed, but the frontrunners stayed nose-to-tail with no passing for the remainder of the race, forcing the young driver to settle for a fourth-place finish.
Sunday's race at Eriez Speedway in Hammett, Pa., marked the fourth race, in the fourth state, in four-consecutive days. With two wins to his credit during the weekend already, Richards was eager to get back to Eriez, a place where he visited Victory Lane last season. Fast right out of the truck, Richards ran the quickest circuit in hot laps before taking home the overall fast-time award in qualifying. His time-trial effort lined him up on the pole for Heat Race 3, and Richards led the entire 10-lap event en route to the win. Eligible for the redraw, Richards drew the eighth starting spot for the Feature. Starting on the outside of Row 4, Richards was on a mission to defend his win from last season. At the drop of the green flag, he made a two-car pass to be scored in sixth on the initial lap. Two laps later Richards was running in fourth, and by Lap 8 he had secured the third spot. With the leader in his sights, Richards began to gain ground on the point position. A Lap 14 caution re-stacked the field, and the three-time World of Outlaws Champion shot to the second position on the ensuing restart. Hungry for another win, Richards stalked leader Steve Casebolt for the next 15 laps running on the high and low sides of the track until completing the pass for the top spot on Lap 30. Once in the lead, Richards quickly pulled away, pacing the field for the remaining 20 laps to capturing his 16th Series win of the season and 23rd super dirt late model victory of the year.
Richards' stellar weekend extended his points lead in the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series championship standings to 256 markers ahead of second-place Shane Clanton.
The Valvoline driver and crew will take this weekend off, before returning to Series action on Aug. 26-27 at Merritt Speedway in Lake City, Michigan.

JOSH RICHARDS QUOTES: "I like going to Delaware (International Raceway). That place has been good to me in the past and I've been fortunate to win there a few times. I knew the way the track was that it would be beneficial to try and get up front early. I knew that once it got cleaned up, it would be hard to get around the outside of anybody. Once the race got going, I was able to get up front. I just tried to stay patient because I knew the track would go through a lot of changes. We were all on relatively soft tires, so it was just a matter of managing my stuff. Thankfully, we were able to stay out front and get the win.
"Potomac (Speedway) is a fun little race track. I knew it was going to be hard with (Shane) Clanton and (Jason) Covert up front, but I was able to work my way forward and battle for the lead. It's really special to get the victory and break the all-time win record for the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series. To be on top is really neat. I couldn't ask for more.
"I had a fast car at Winchester (Speedway), but I knew it was going to be tough to pass in the Feature. When I drew the sixth starting spot I knew I had my work cut out for me. I was able to advance a few positions, I tried everything I could to keep moving forward, but there was just no passing.
"This season has been a dream. I always enjoy racing at Eriez (Speedway). I knew when I drew the eighth starting spot it wouldn't be easy. It's really fun to race in this region. It's close to home and we've raced these tracks for several years. I've had success here before and that definitely helps with the confidence level. I knew it was going to be difficult to pass Steve Casebolt. He was setting a really good pace and I had to work hard to get the lead from him.


This used to be one of my favorites at Little City restaurant in San Francisco. The restaurant is gone but this recipe lives on! This version is from Casa Cocina, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Wash the cilantro in several changes of water, dry it by squeezing it in a towel, and then chop in finely.
Heat a saute pan or frying pan over a high flame. Add butter, onions and chipotle chile..
When pan begins to sizzle, add the shrimp. Stir fry until shrimp are almost cooked, approximately 3 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the tequila and return it to the flame. Be careful when adding the tequila because it may flame up.
Cook the shrimp for another 2 minutes, add the cilantro, and remove the pan from the fire.
Taste the juice in the pan and season it with a salt and pepper.

Paranoid Personality DisorderUnited Brain Association2022-01-12T11:01:06-04:00
Paranoid Personality Disorder Fast Facts
Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a mental condition in which a person is unusually suspicious and mistrustful of other people without reason.
PPD affects up to 4.5% of people in the United States, making it a common personality disorder.
PPD affects men more often than women.
People who have relatives with schizophrenia or delusional disorder are at an increased risk for PPD.
Personality disorders like PPD are characterized by long-term patterns of behavior that remain consistent over time.
What is Paranoid Personality Disorder?
Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is an illness characterized by mistrust and suspicion focused on other people, even when there is no reason to be suspicious. People with PPD believe that other people intend to do them harm, and they may believe that others have harmed them in the past, even if that's untrue. Their paranoia gets in the way of their daily functioning and impairs their ability to form healthy relationships.
PPD is one of a group of conditions called Cluster A personality disorders. This group also includes schizoid personality disorder and schizotypal personality disorder.
Symptoms of Paranoid Personality Disorder
Common symptoms of PPD include:
Inaccurate belief that others are trying to harm, exploit, or deceive them
Persistent doubts about the loyalty or motives of people close to them
Refusal to trust others for fear of having their vulnerabilities used against them
Inaccurately interpreting benign interactions as threatening or hostile
Holding grudges
Reacting angrily to perceived attacks and tendency to attack in return
What Causes Paranoid Personality Disorder?
The exact cause of PPD has not been discovered. Several factors, however, seem to put an individual at increased risk of PPD.
Family history and genetics. People with PPD often have a family history of schizophrenia or delusional disorder. Therefore, scientists suspect a connection between these disorders and a possible genetic component to PPD, but no definite association with any gene or group of genes has yet been discovered.
Childhood experiences. Some researchers believe that childhood trauma may increase the risk of PPD.
Is Paranoid Personality Disorder Hereditary?
Scientists have not yet been able to identify a specific genetic component that increases the risk of PPD. Inherited genes may increase an individual's susceptibility to PPD, but the disorder's actual development may result from external triggering circumstances.
How Is Paranoid Personality Disorder Detected?
In addition to their paranoid beliefs and behaviors, people with PPD may also exhibit other symptoms that are warning signs of the disorder. These other symptoms can include:
Secretive behavior
Controlling behavior
Argumentative behavior
Sensitivity and overreaction to criticism
Consistently negative opinions of other people
Racism and adherence to cultural stereotypes
How Is Paranoid Personality Disorder Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of PPD begins with determining that the patient has a cluster of symptoms that meet the diagnostic criteria for the disorder. A doctor will start with a physical exam to rule out biological problems that may be causing symptoms. After these exams, if the doctor suspects that PPD or another mental disorder is the cause of the symptoms, they may recommend a psychological or psychiatric assessment to solidify the diagnosis further.
The results of the psychological assessments will be compared to the diagnostic criteria for PPD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The DSM criteria for PPD include:
Broad mistrust of others that begins in adulthood.
At least four symptoms are present.
How Is Paranoid Personality Disorder Treated?
There is no cure for PPD, and no medications are commonly used to treat the disorder. Psychotherapy may be helpful, but the disorder's symptoms often get in the way of successful treatment.
People with PPD typically will not seek treatment independently because they don't believe they have a problem. When they do enter treatment, they are unlikely to trust their therapist and may resist or stop following the treatment plan.
The most commonly used therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This type of treatment focuses on teaching the patient to recognize inaccurate perceptions about themselves and others and develop strategies for dealing with these misperceptions when they occur.
In some cases, medications may help control co-existing problems such as anxiety or depression. The drugs used to treat these symptoms include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), anti-anxiety medications, and antipsychotic drugs.
How Does Paranoid Personality Disorder Progress?
People with PDD have trouble forming and maintaining relationships, and their paranoia may prevent them from functioning normally in society. As a result, they are unlikely to seek treatment, and over time, their behavior may have increasingly severe consequences.
Long-term adverse effects of PPD can include:
Unemployment or homelessness
Legal difficulties
Lack of healthy interpersonal relationships
How Is Paranoid Personality Disorder Prevented?
There is no known way to prevent PPD, but early intervention may help someone with the disorder learn to form more healthy relationships with other people.
Paranoid Personality Disorder Caregiver Tips
Many people with paranoid personality disorder also suffer from other brain and mental health-related issues, a condition called co-morbidity. Here are a few of the disorders commonly associated with PPD:
People with PPD also often have an anxiety disorder, including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Alcoholism or another substance use disorder is commonly comorbid with PPD.
Three-quarters of people with PPD also have at least one other personality disorder, especially avoidant and borderline personality disorders. In addition, narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders are also commonly comorbid with PPD.
People with PPD often suffer from depression.
Many people with PPD have a family history of schizophrenia, and the two disorders can be comorbid.
Paranoid Personality Disorder Brain Science
Because people with paranoid personality disorder rarely seek treatment and the condition almost always co-exists with other psychiatric disorders, very little research has been done on the brain-related and genetic underpinnings of PPD. When scientists have investigated PPD, it has primarily been in connection with schizophrenia and other similar personality disorders.
One case study has suggested that brain damage caused by traumatic injuries or substance abuse may play a role in the symptoms of PPD in some people. In the case described, a male patient with a history of concussion and alcohol abuse exhibited signs of paranoia (and jealousy in particular). In addition, the symptoms worsened during periods of alcohol abuse. However, no further definitive connection between PPD and brain trauma has been established.
Paranoid Personality Disorder Research
Title: Face Your Fears: Cognitive Behavioral Virtual Reality Therapy for Paranoia (FYF)
Contact: Ulrik N. Jeppesen, MD
Copenhagen Research Center for Mental Health
Paranoid ideations and ideas of reference are among the most frequent symptoms of psychotic disorders. They hinder patients from conducting daily activities such as leaving the home or using public transportation and immensely influence their quality of life. The social avoidance caused by these symptoms does not improve with antipsychotic mediation. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for psychosis has demonstrated a beneficial effect on psychotic symptoms, but the average effect sizes are in the small to moderate range, and training and resource requirements mean that, in practice, therapy is not delivered to all those who might benefit. Hence, there is considerable interest in developing novel therapies that draw on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis but are shorter, more effective, and capable of being delivered by a broader workforce. Augmenting CBT with virtual reality exposure can create artificial experiences in real-time that make the user feel immersed and able to interact as if it was the real world.
Additionally, virtual reality therapy allows for the personalization of the therapy to match the specific social challenges of each patient. Preliminary findings suggest virtual reality exposure leads to faster symptom reduction than traditional therapy. While the potential beneficial effects of virtual reality exposure to psychotic, and sub-threshold psychotic symptoms, such as paranoid ideations and ideas of reference, are evident and virtual reality therapies are promising in general, the research field is in urgent need of evidence on the effectiveness of virtual reality therapy in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The proposed trial is, to date, the largest trial in the world to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral virtual reality therapy (CBT-VR) compared to traditional CBT. The investigators expect CBT-VR to be more beneficial in reducing paranoid ideations and ideas of reference in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Additionally, the investigators expect it to improve depressive, anxiety, and negative symptoms, social cognition, psychosocial functioning, and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The target group in the trial also encompasses patients with schizotypal disorder (often young adults), showing subthreshold psychotic symptoms (e.g., ideas of reference) that are at increased risk of developing manifest psychosis. The CBT-VR may show efficacy in preventing progression to an overt psychotic state in these patients. Hence, there is great potential for CBT-VR in treating patients with psychosis and sub-threshold psychosis, but studies are needed to establish evidence for the treatment. If the current trial results are positive, the manualized treatment can easily be implemented in clinical practice.
Title: Brain Imaging in Early Psychosis
Stage: Enrolling by invitation
Schizophrenia is a devastating illness inflicting about 1% of the population worldwide. Symptoms of schizophrenia include paranoia, hallucinations, and disorganized behaviors and are associated with lifelong occupational and social disability. It typically develops in adolescence or early adulthood, particularly formative periods when significant educational, vocational, and social life changes occur. Then, the brain undergoes a rearrangement of critical neural circuits. The "prodrome" is the period before the onset of a psychotic disorder, like schizophrenia. Prodromal youth often have significant emotional distress and social withdrawal, and family members may observe a concerning change in behavior or school or work performance. Identifying those at clinical high risk for a psychotic disorder is important, as early intervention can improve symptoms and functioning and could prevent the eventual development of a psychotic disorder. This study will focus on individuals aged 13-25 years who have met the criteria for a psychosis-risk syndrome (or attenuated psychosis syndrome) or are at a very early stage (first three years after diagnosis) of a psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Involvement will be either 2 or 3 partial days at Washington University and will involve approximately 3 hours of MRI scanning and up to 6 hours of behavioral testing. Additionally, the investigators will study the effect of genetics on the patterns of brain connectivity in various psychiatric populations. DNA will be collected non-invasively from saliva and stored and processed in Washington University facilities.
Title: Compassion and Metacognition in Schizotypal Personality (CMBT)
Principal Investigator: Simone Cheli
Tages Onlus
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a newly developed psychotherapy for schizotypal personality disorder. This new form of psychotherapy integrates compassion-focused therapy and metacognitively oriented psychotherapy.
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a psychological assessment to determine eligibility for study entry. Patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized in a double-blind manner in a 1:1 ratio to new integrative psychotherapy or treatment as usual (cognitive behavioral therapy plus standard psychopharmacological treatment). One month after the conclusion of the two forms of treatment (both lasting six months), patients will have access to the final follow-up assessment.

Zespri has welcomed the signing of New Zealand's free trade agreement with the European Union, noting the significant benefits it delivers to business, consumers and communities in both countries.
The deal announced includes the removal of tariffs on New Zealand kiwifruit exports to the EU upon entry into force. Zespri paid around $46.5m in tariffs on sales of more than $1 billion into the EU last season.
Speaking from Brussels Zespri Chairman Bruce Cameron says that the agreement will help Zespri meet the growing demand for its fruit in Europe.
"This is a strong deal for a wide range of exporters including New Zealand's kiwifruit industry and we're really pleased to see it finalised.
"The FTA will set us up to expand our exports to Europe, providing more European consumers with the highest-quality Zespri Kiwifruit and helping deliver strong returns for our growers.
"As a purpose driven company with a focus on helping people, communities and the environment to thrive, we also welcome the continued focus on sustainability as Zespri moves towards having 100 percent recyclable, reusable or compostable packaging by 2025 and being carbon neutral to consumers by 2035."
Mr. Cameron says that Europe is one of Zespri's largest markets and the company remains committed to deepening its relationships in the region.
"We partner with a number of growers in Italy, France and Greece to produce Zespri Kiwifruit as part of our strategy to establish 12-month supply of our fruit.
"This enables us to maintain our brand presence but also deliver strong returns to local communities and help create local jobs and investment.
"We also work together on biosecurity issues, ensuring that growers in both regions are better protected from pests or disease and we're really proud of that contribution here."
Mr. Cameron said the agreement would strengthen Zespri's ability to deliver positive outcomes in Europe and New Zealand and acknowledge the hard work and leadership of our trade negotiators and the ambition of political leaders on both sides.
"Their leadership on improving trade ties to underpin growth and prosperity and to build stronger international connections has never been more important and this agreement is a strong platform to allow us to continue to do so."

Q: are attributes top, left, right, bottom legal in the same declaration as position:relative? I understand that you can declare position:relative in a div element.  Then, if you declare position:absolute in a child block element, you can then use top, left, bottom and right to position that element "relative" to the parent element which was declared as position:relative
In the CSS code I inherited I'm seeing a combination of position:relative and say top or left in the same declaration.  Is this a mistake? And if so why would it be used?

A: From the MDN article on top:

For relatively positioned elements (those with position: relative), it specifies the amount the element is moved below its normal position.

Basically the top/right/bottom/left properties move a relatively-positioned element a given distance from where it would be normally placed.

A: css top, left, right, bottom are applicable to all the positioned elements (i.e other than position:static).

IMO, Singapore to trial digital ship clearance project
IMO-Singapore project will create a Maritime Single Window ship clearance system in a pilot port, with a view to supporting more ports in future.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has issued a call for expressions of interest from countries with a medium-sized port to take part in a pilot project to establish an efficient digitalized system for electronic exchange of information in ports for ship clearance.
The "Single Window for Facilitation of Trade (SWiFT) Project" will develop a system in a pilot port to allow electronic submission, through one single portal, of all information required by various Government agencies when a ship calls at a port. This concept is known as the Maritime Single Window (MSW) system. The SWiFT project will be implemented by IMO in partnership with Singapore.
Regulations in IMO's Facilitation Convention require electronic exchange of data, to ensure the efficient clearance of ships. The single window concept is recommended, in order to avoid duplication of effort. Individual data elements should only be submitted once, electronically through a single point of entry, to the relevant regulatory agencies and other parties.
The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the value of digitalization. Electronic exchange of required data is speedier, more reliable, efficient and COVID-secure, since face-to-face contact is minimized.
Under the pilot project, the selected country will be advised on the necessary legal, policy and institutional requirements for the MSW system. The port will then be provided with functional MSW software, hardware and/or IT services, configured to the country's needs. Training will also be provided.
The pilot will be supported by Singapore via in-kind contributions and by IMO via the Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP).
"Increased digitalization supports greater efficiency which benefits the ship, the port and wider supply chain," said Kitack Lim, IMO's Secretary-General.
"We want to support countries in implementing the FAL Convention requirements for electronic data exchange, by supporting a pilot project which will show the way and result in know-how which can then be shared with others."
Following the initial pilot and subject to funding availability, the aim is to replicate the pilot project in other IMO Member States in need of similar technical assistance.
The IMO-Singapore SWiFT Project builds upon an earlier successful project that delivered a maritime single window system in Antigua and Barbuda.
That project, with in-kind and financial support provided by Norway, based on their experience in electronic facilitation of maritime trade, was implemented in 2018-2019.
Singapore will bring in its experience to cater to the technical requirements for medium-size ports and for ports that would like to incorporate port to port communication protocols in such a system.
