Collegium medicum var en dansk sundhedsmyndighed under enevælden.

I 1740 blev Collegium medicum oprettet, fordi staten ønskede en autoritet på det sundhedsfaglige område. Årsagen skal bl.a. findes i, at der i første halvdel af 1700-tallet var en række epidemier i Danmark, og dels fordi man antog, at en stats styrke blandt andet afhang af dens evne til at forøge sit folketal. Det blev en væsentlig opgave at afværge ulykke, sygdom og hungersnød for derved at sikre befolkningstilvæksten.

Collegium medicum bestod af de Kgl. hof- og livmedici, Københavns Universitets medicinske professorer og Københavns Stadsfysicus med tilforordnede kirurgiske og farmaceutiske assessorer.

Ifølge indledningen til forordningen var hensigten med Collegium Medicum, at "... alt, hvad til Sundheds Pleie og dens bedre Indretning henhører, paa beste Maade og efter beste Vidende og Samvittighed med et eendrægtigt Raad kan iagttages."

I 1700-tallet var jurister enerådende i centraladministrationen, idet de blev betragtet som generalister, der kunne indgå i en hvilken som helst funktion i den offentlige administration. De havde ikke i sinde at afgive kompetencer til andre, og derfor fik Collegium medicum udelukkende en rådgivende funktion. Der opstod desuden gnidninger mellem de forskellige faggrupper i rådet. Det bevirkede, at kirurgerne trak sig ud, og at alle sager, der vedrørte kirurgi, herefter blev henlagt til det nyoprettede Kgl. kirurgiske Akademi fra 1785. På grund af de store uoverensstemmelser besluttede man at nedlægge Collegium medicum, og i maj 1803 oprettedes Sundhedskollegiet i stedet.

Usually, spring individual basketball workouts are a time for recovery and skill development. After a long season, Illinois coach Bruce Weber instituted a get tough policy before the practice season ended in late April.
The Illini already put up big numbers in the classroom, receiving recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent of the more than 300 Division I teams with their Academic Progress Rate score. Meanwhile, Weber defined roles during the off-season practice sessions that began shortly after Illinois set a single-season school record with 19 losses.
"In the past, I've always said they learn their roles through osmosis,'' Weber said. "You hope, sooner or later, they figure it out. When they figure it out on their own, they accept it more.
"We have three or four guys, even though it was blatantly in front of them, they couldn't see it. That's probably where we got into a bind and didn't get over the hump last season. Guys didn't like or didn't accept their roles. Finally, we just had to come out with it. This is it. If you can't accept it, we need to move to another person.''
The Illini already know their roles in the classroom. Illinois was the only team in the Big Ten Conference to finish in the APR's top 10 percent. The Illini scored between 965 and a perfect 1,000. A product of the NCAA's desire for academic reform, the APR tracks graduation rates, player eligibility and retention. Teams lower than 925 face penalties and the possibility of losing scholarships.
Illinois basketball has been among the top 10 percent in the all three years of the APR.
"We're helping kids down the road,'' Weber said. "In recruiting, we sell that kids come here and get degrees. We make sure they have the tools to be successful in basketball and academically. We think we back it up. It's pretty impressive what we've done, being in the top 10 percent in the nation academically but also in the same five-year period in the top 10 percent in the nation in wins.''
Of course, Weber knows that Joe Fan cares less about academic progress than progressing through the NCAA bracket.
"I'm not naive,'' Weber said. "When it comes down to it, it's the wins that are the most important thing. At the same time, I got into this to work with kids and help kids. In today's society, that gets lost. In our hearts, we feel like we're doing the right thing, making sure those guys have a chance to be successful later in life.''
Freshmen Demetri McCamey and Mike Davis will apparently tour China on an exhibition team later this month. Current plans have junior Jamar Smith headed to Australia and sophomore Alex Legion to Poland on exhibition tours. Weber would like to get freshman Mike Tisdale overseas.
Junior guard Chester Frazier needed minor surgery to fix a broken nose that kept him out of the final week of individual workouts. Freshman forward Billy Cole (leg) was cleared to begin light workouts, and Weber hoped Cole would be close to full speed when players return for the summer semester in early June.
MEET AND GREET: Football coach Ron Zook and Weber will attend meet and greet tour stops at Lisle on May 12, Bloomington on June 4 and Peoria on June 19. In a tour stop in Springfield on May 22, Zook and Illini assistant coach Jerrance Howard are the lead speakers.
Women's basketball coach Jolette Law will attend tour stops in Bloomington and Peoria.
The Peoria event is scheduled for the Embassy Suites, 100 Conference Center Drive, East Peoria. The Springfield stop is at Illini Country Club. Registration is limited to the first 500 at each stop and must be completed online at www.fightingillini.com. There is no admission charge.
Activities begin at 7 p.m. at all four stops.
FOOTBALL: Center Ryan McDonald, eight of his teammates and his brother, David, raised more than $1,000 during the M.S. Walk Sunday at Meadowbrook Park in Urbana. Multiple Sclerosis began affecting the McDonalds' mother, Jan, nearly 15 years ago.
"My mom used to be athletic when she was younger,'' Ryan McDonald said. "She was a lifeguard and an avid tennis player. However, M.S. changed that. Although the cause is unknown, M.S. is a disease where the body attacks its own nervous system. It progresses through relapses and remissions, with no pattern to the duration or severity of each stage.
"As I have grown older I have witnessed my mom slowly become less mobile. Despite her struggles, she continues to love and support me. She and my dad drive to nearly every Illinois football game and have never missed a home game in my career.''
IN OTHER NEWS: Despite losing twice to Iowa to conclude the regular season, Illinois (30-31 overall, 8-12 in the Big Ten) received the No. 6 seed in the eight-team softball conference tournament. Illinois meets No. 3 Iowa (38-17, 14-6) in the opening round at 9 a.m. Friday. Illini senior shortstop Angelena Mexicano finished the regular season with 24 homers, setting school and conference single-season records. . . The Illini tennis team hosts Xavier in a first-round match at noon Friday at the Atkins Tennis Center. The winner meets the LSU-Drake winner at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Vinamik offers to purchase GTN shares for Moc Chau Milk
Illustrative image. Photo: VNA
The Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk) has offered to purchase more than 116 million shares of the GTNFoods Joint Stock Company (GTN) as GTN indirectly holds shares in Moc Chau Milk.
According to the document sent to the State Securities Commission on the purchase, Vinamilk has offered to buy a maximum of 46.68 percent of GTN shares, or 116.71 million shares, with a price of 13,000 per share.
Vinamilk estimates to spend about 1.5 trillion VND (64.5 million USD) on the deal.
However, the price offered by Vinamilk is lower than GTN's market price on the local stock exchange.
The closing price of a GTN share yesterday was 18,250 VND, up 82.5 percent compared to the beginning of this year.
The higher price was believed to be due to information about Vinamilk's purchase of GTN shares, reported vneconomy.vn.
Vinamilk has eyed the GTN shares because GTN indirectly owns shares at Moc Chau Milk, which has the largest dairy cow farm in the north.
Moc Chau Milk production is currently up to 100,000 tonnes of fresh milk per year. As per the development strategy, the company will increase the number of cows to 35,000 in 2020 and 70,000-100,000 in 2030. With milk production from Moc Chau Milk, Vinamilk can reduce the supply of imported milk.
GTNfoods was established in 2011 with charter capital of 25 billion VND and registered capital of 80 billion VND, specialising in the export of rattan and bamboo products to 50 countries.
Now, GTNfoods owns 75 percent of the shares of Vietnam Livestock Corporation (Vilico) while Vilico holds 51 percent of Moc Chau Dairy Cow Joint Stock Company.
In addition, GTNfoods holds 95 per cent of Vietnam Tea Corporation's shares and 35 per cent of total shares at LadoFoods – owner of the Dalat wine brand.
In 2018, GTNfoods achieved revenue of more than 3 trillion VND and after-tax profit reached 104 billion VND, significantly lower than 152 billion VND in 2017 due to the company's loss in the last quarter of 2018.
Vinamilk's board of directors also said that in the first two months of this year, the company gained a two-digit growth rate in its total revenue compared to the same period last year.
According to a report at the 2018 annual meeting, Vinamilk now holds 58 per cent of the milk market share in Vietnam.
Mai Kieu Lien, Vinamilk general director, said the company aims to increase its market share by 1 percent each year to more than 60 percent in 2021, reported nhipcaudautu.vn.
If this deal succeeds, Vinamilk will quickly increase its market shares on the local milk market.
Vinamilk expected that, in the period 2019-21, its revenue growth, excluding merger and acquisition (M&A) activities, to reach 5 percent per year.
By 2021, M&A activities are expected to contribute 6 trillion VND to its total revenue while the total revenue in 2021 is estimated at 70 trillion VND, much higher than 53 trillion VND in 2018.

2015 MLB: Who Should Start for the NL in The All-Star Game?
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has said he is willing to look into the voting process by which fans choose the All-Star starters for the American and National Leagues, now that the Kansas City Royals have 7 of the 8 non-pitching starting positions at this point in the voting. It is true that the Royals did win the American League pennant last year, but many of the players that the Royals fans have voted in shouldn't be starting at their positions. Eric Hosmer over Miguel Cabrera at first? Really? And that's just one example. Royals manager Ned Yost has suggested that fans who don't like the current results should get out and vote themselves – each MLB betting fan can vote up to 35 times, after all.

Sandsend Coastal Protection Scheme – What is the unintended consequence?
July 13, 2019 /0 Comments/in News /by Anthony Bennett
In 2016 hard engineering defences were constructed between Whitby and Sandsend. Concrete steps, replacing damaged defences, now protect the 800m section of the coast.
Concrete steps at Sandsend
The defences have been designed to protect the A174 Sandsend Road between Whitby and Sansend. Soft engineering solutions, such as the stabilisation of the boulder clay cliffs have also been introduced. The new coastal defences protect the main road from closure. The image below shows the newly reprofiled cliffs with vegetation to secure the cliff.
Sandsend cliff stabilisation behind the A174
The £9 million project is a partnership development between The Environment Agency and North Yorkshire County Council. The defences avoid regular road closures previously caused by boulder clay landslips in winter and during periods of bad weather.
Work on the lower sections of the new scheme involved building 450 steps using an innovative system that carried concrete along a rail built into the defences. The concrete mix was strengthened by mixing 5mm plastic filaments.
However, subsequent poor weather and strong winds have caused erosion to the sea wall exposing the plastics. Estimates suggest that this is happening over 75% of the structure. Erosion is evident at the bottom of the structure, which is continuously in contact with the sea and beach. As a result of this, plastic filaments are now standard on the beach.

Critics of the scheme are campaigning to avoid the use of similar construction techniques in the future.

The following day, he vetoed not only the "right to try" legislation but a bill to provide more training for child care providers and another measure focused on responses to sexual assaults at California colleges.
He also vetoed legislation ranging from a measure to expand California's unpaid family leave policy to a bill that would have regulated when someone could call herself a "board-certified music therapist."
"This bill appears to be unnecessary as the Certification Board for Music Therapists, a private sector group, already has defined standards for board certification," Brown wrote in a veto message. "Why have the state now add another violin to the orchestra?"
14.1 percentPercentage of bills Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed in 2015
By the time Brown finished acting on bills Sunday – hours before the midnight deadline – he had signed 808 measures and vetoed 133, according to his office.
His veto rate – 14.1 percent – was slightly higher than in the previous three years but not quite as high as in 2011, when Brown returned to office and vetoed 14.4 percent of bills, according to his office.
Yet Brown remains more difficult for the Democrat-controlled Legislature than when he was governor before. From 1975 to 1983, Brown vetoed fewer than 5 percent of bills from the regular session.
His action on legislation can be unpredictable. Brown signed a bill Sunday banning the use of "Redskins" as a school mascot or team name.
But he vetoed legislation that would prohibit naming public buildings and roads after Confederate leaders.
Local governments ... are quite capable of deciding for themselves which of their buildings and parks should be named, and after whom.
The "Redskins" bill's enactment comes 11 years after then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed similar legislation, saying local boards should retain "general control over all aspects of their interscholastic policies."
Opponents of this year's bill made a similar argument, and Brown himself appealed to local control in vetoing Senate Bill 539, the bill concerning Confederate names.
Brown said in a veto message that the issue is "quintessentially for local decision makers."
"Local governments are laboratories of democracy which, under most circumstances, are quite capable of deciding for themselves which of their buildings and parks should be named, and after whom," he said.
Brown's veto of expanded family leave came after he enacted pay-equity laws this year that are among the strongest in the nation.
Senate Bill 406, by Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, would have let workers take up to 12 weeks off to care for sick siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, domestic partners and parents-in-law.
Current law provides that benefit only for sick children, parents or spouses.
In a veto message, Brown said that he is open to legislation allowing workers to take leave for more family members but that the expansion provided in the bill "creates a disparity between California's law and the Federal Medical Leave Act and, in certain circumstances, could require employers to provide employees up to 24 weeks of family leave in a 12-month period."
The legislation was opposed by business groups and included on the California Chamber of Commerce's list of "job killer" bills. The chamber argued it would increase business costs and risk of litigation, and the bill narrowly passed the Legislature.
Brown said in his veto of "right to try" legislation that "patients with life-threatening conditions should be able to try experimental drugs" but that proposed changes to federal policies will streamline access to such drugs.
"Before authorizing an alternative state pathway," he wrote, "we should give this federal expedited process a chance to work."
Assembly Bill 159, by Assemblyman Ian Calderon, D-Whittier, would have permitted pharmaceutical companies to make not-yet-fully approved treatments available to terminally ill patients, while shielding doctors and insurance companies from liability for negative outcomes.
Proponents of the legislation said access to drugs in development via clinical trials has been insufficient, while opponents – including oncologists and nurses – said the legislation could harm patients or give them false hope.

Just looking for a small cactus but want the elegance of a nice pot of your choosing. This is the one.
You can choose your pot style and color otherwise the cactus pot you receive will be random. For the Kokopelli style choice on this Cup there is only one design featured on the cup. Either the Kokopelli image or the Pueblo Houses image. Listed under Special Options.
We have worked with cactus since 1984 at our cactus nursery in Arizona USA. We hand pick the cactus plants for each garden and assemble them into a beautiful arrangement with finishing decorative touches. We have designed and offer 3 styles of Cactus Cup pots. Saguaro with Mountains, Kokopelli with Pueblo buildings, and our Images design which contains chilis, gecko, cactus and hummingbird all on one pot. These cactus cups are made of high quality Hi-Fire Stoneware pottery. The cactus plants pictured are a sample of our assortment. The actual cactus in a cup purchased will always vary from what is pictured. Inquiries about large orders for, special occasions, convention gifts, or purchasing for retail stores please give us a call.


A muscle spasm is a sudden, involuntary contraction of one or more muscles. A spasm results from an abnormally sustained muscle contraction and is often painful. Various muscles may develop spasms, including the small intrinsic hand muscles of a musician to the larger "charley horse" calf muscles of a runner. Muscle spasms may involve the skeletal muscles of the limbs and spine, responsible for locomotion and upright posture, or the smooth muscles lining the hollow, tubular internal organs of our body, such as the muscles lining the colon or bladder. Skeletal and smooth muscles have different embryological origins, functions, innervations, and physiologies. For the purposes of this discussion, the focus will be on skeletal muscle spasms.
Acute skeletal muscle spasms may be the result of muscle injury or overuse. They may occur, for instance, when an athlete has not warmed up or stretched prior to vigorous anaerobic exercise, such as sprinting or jumping. They may also occur during endurance training when, for example, a marathoner has not maintained proper fluid and electrolyte balance, and muscles with increased metabolic demand are depleted of nutrients. These types of spasms resolve with rest, hydration, and gentle stretching.
Recurrent, widespread, or chronic muscle spasms may signify a more significant underlying medical condition related to toxic-metabolic, nutritional, vascular, or hormonal problems. In peripheral artery disease, for instance, there is a lack of blood supply and oxygen to affected muscles, which cause the spasms of "vascular claudication." These spasms, or cramps, usually involve the lower extremities and become worse with exertion and better with rest. In kidney or liver disease, there may be volume depletion and/ or rapid body fluid and electrolyte abnormalities responsible for chronic muscle cramps. Similarly, conditions which cause excessive vomiting, diarrhea, or insufficient nutritional intake may result in skeletal muscle cramps.
There may also be accompanying signs and symptoms suggestive of an underlying neurological disease. For instance, a severe muscle spasm can result from irritation or damage to nerves supplying the muscle, such as in spinal stenosis or major disc herniations, which disrupt nerve root signals from the spinal cord. In higher level brain or spinal cord injuries, there is a disruption of normal inhibiting influences from nerve connections from the brain. There are several brain regions responsible for the movement of skeletal muscles, so problems in one or several brain regions or nerve connections can result in abnormal muscle contractions. For example, abnormal, repetitive spasms are seen in conditions such as dystonias (prolonged, repetitive contractions that cause twisting/jerking movements), torticollis syndrome ("wry neck"), blepharism (involuntary blinking), or myoclonus (sudden, irregular, involuntary contractions). These more difficult conditions should be assessed and treated by a neurologist or movement disorder specialist, often with specific medications and therapy.
A muscle twitch or fasciculation is the involuntary, uncontrolled fine movement of a small segment of muscle. It can be seen under the skin and involves a few individual muscle fibers. Common muscles prone to benign fasciculations are the eyelid, thumb, calf, and thigh. These tiny muscle twitches may be related to fatigue, stress, or anxiety (i.e, the so-called "benign fasciculation syndrome"), as well as exogenous substances including: caffeine, pseudoephedrine, albuterol, and Adderall. In some cases, fasciculations are attributable to low magnesium or other nutritional deficiencies. Rarer associations are small fiber neuropathy or gluten neuropathy. Generally, the prognosis for benign fasciculation syndrome is very good and can be managed with nutritional supplementation, elimination of the offending related substance, stress management, or in some cases, pharmacotherapy such as anticonvulsants or beta blockers.
On the other end of the spectrum, muscle fasciculations can also be associated with more serious neurological diseases, including: polio, ALS, MS, and myopathy (muscle disease), and are only one sign in a constellation of more serious muscle problems, including weakness and atrophy (muscle wasting). The more serious neurological conditions will often have one or more signs of concurrent central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) dysfunction, which may include: hyperreflexia (overactive tendon reflexes), spasticity (hypertonicity), gait impairment, bulbar palsies (speech and swallow problems), or sensory abnormalities. One can be further evaluated by a specialist if there is concern for neurological compromise with imaging and specialized nerve and muscle tests, including nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG).
A muscle cramp can be considered a type of muscle spasm. Cramps are abrupt, unpleasant, painful sensations caused by sudden muscle contraction or muscle fiber overshortening. Common causes of skeletal muscle cramps are electrolyte imbalances from overexertion, dehydration, or excessive heat/ temperature shifts. The cramped muscle is fatigued, a sign that the individual needs immediate rest and rehydration. Usually the cramp is short-lived, but sometimes muscles soreness can continue up to a week afterwards. Often gentle stretching, heat, and massage are helpful initially.
Electrolyte imbalances, particularly conditions involving low sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are well known causes of cramps and should be corrected. Hypocalcemia (low calcium) may cause a cramping condition known as tetany (characterized by distal muscle spasms of hands and feet, tingling around the mouth, and abnormal reflexes). Tetany is associated with low blood magnesium, hyperventilation (low carbondioxide), or an underfunctioning parathyroid gland.
There is also evidence that hypoxia, lactic acidosis, and hypoglycemic conditions cause cramps. As early as 1965, restless leg syndrome and leg cramps were thought to be a result of excess insulin and hypoglycemia, and avoidance of low blood glucose was used to help cramps.
Nocturnal leg cramps are involuntary muscle contractions that occur typically in the leg muscles at night or during rest. The duration of nocturnal leg cramps is variable, but usually ranges from a few seconds to several minutes. There may be residual muscle soreness, and these cramps are more common in the elderly, who are susceptible to contributing factors. Contributing factors typically involve electrolyte imbalances, ischemia (reduced blood flow) to muscle tissue due to cardiovascular, kidney or liver disease, lumbar stenosis, and particular medications. A few common medications associated with muscle cramps include: potassium-sparing diuretics, raloxifene (Evista), and HMG-CoA inhibitors (statin drugs).
Nocturnal cramps are also common in healthy individuals; for instance in pregnant woman. The precise cause of nocturnal cramps is often unclear.
Muscle spasticity: Traditionally, spasticity is defined as the velocity-dependent resistance to stretch. It should not be confused with the more general term, "muscle tightness," the latter a descriptor of muscle tension or stress. True muscle spasticity occurs in the setting of central nervous system disorders, and is associated with motor dysfunction and hyperreflexia, including abnormally increased tone of the flexor muscles of the upper extremity, and the extensor muscles of the lower extremity. Muscle spasticity signifies an upper motor neuron problem in the setting of such conditions as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, MS, and cerebral palsy. Spasticity is a common problem seen by neurologists and physiatrists, and it is managed with custom splints to prevent permanent tendon contractures, botox injections, and antispasmodic medications, including baclofen. Baclofen can be administered both orally and intrathecally, the latter with the use of implantable pumps.
Myalgia: The general medical term for "muscle pain," can be associated with a large differential of different conditions. Generally, conditions associated with chronic, painful myalgias can be distinguished from spastic neurological or neuromuscular disorders, although the two may coincide.
Trigger point: a term coined by David Simon and Janet Travell in the mid-late 20th century, refers to tender points found within "taut bands" of painful muscle, caused by a shortened group of muscle fibers. Trigger points got their name for their ability to produce pain at more distant sites, defined as their "zones of reference." They are characterized by a local twitch response, which may be achieved by mechanical stimuli such as cross fiber manual palpation of the taut band or needle penetration.
Myofascial pain: A prevalent, painful muscle condition, which is often underdiagnosed and chronic. It affects almost 15% of the general population and comes at significant cost to the individual and society as a whole in terms of quality of life, disability, and lost productivity. Chronic muscle pain disorders have been misunderstood and studied for centuries, with the earliest attempts made to distinguish joint pain (rheumatism) from muscle pain as far back as the 1700s. Although there remains some ambiguity in terms of the pathophysiology of myofascial pain and its overlap with other chronic pain conditions, including fibromyalgia, it can be agreed that myofascial pain is defined by regional musculoskeletal pain and the presence of associated trigger points. Myofascial pain is often described as a deep gnawing ache or knot, sometimes sharp and very intense, and with clear referral patterns that are well described. Sometimes it is associated with abnormal sensory and even autonomic phenomena, which can mislead the diagnosis. The goal of myofascial providers is to elicit a local twitch response from active trigger points, thereby releasing the affected muscle(s) from an abnormal state of pain. A history of trauma, physical or emotional stress, poor body mechanics/ malalignment, and prolonged postures which force muscles into a state of abnormal, sustained contraction are clearly involved in myofascial pain.
The diagnosis of myofascial pain, according to the 1989 first international symposium on myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia, is made by the presence of: 1. regional pain, 2. referred pain consistent with a trigger point's pain distribution, 3. palpable taut bands, 4. spot tenderness along the length of a taut band, and 5. some degree of restricted motion.
There remains controversy regarding the diagnosis of myofascial pain, along with trigger points and their origin, as well as a range of treatment options and provider expertise. It takes a fair degree of skill and training to palpate and efficiently release trigger points, whether by deep tissue release, dry needling to elicit a local twitch response, or wet needling (trigger point injections) with local anesthetic. Various theories of interest have been proposed as to the origin of trigger points, including the "energy crisis" theory. This theory involves increased metabolic demand of sarcomeres (muscle cells) that are in a state of sustained contraction, in combination with reduced nutrient supply from the compression of nearby blood vessels, which results in the release of sensitizing substances that activate nociceptive pain and autonomic nerve fibers.
Regardless of their origin, the goal of the myofascial provider is not only to release active trigger points, which directly targets symptoms and is time limited, but also to educate patients about the need for lifestyle modification and self-management. Successful management and optimization of function is achieved through: regular aerobic exercise, balanced muscle stretching and conditioning, proper sleep hygiene and nutrition, and correction of poor postural habits and biomechanics. Mood regulation and psychological therapies, including mind body strategies and stress reduction techniques, are also important to consider.

100 years after the founding of the Bauhaus and 86 years after its end, an original Bauhaus building will be inaugurated in Dessau on Sunday (11 August). Scientists and students of the University of Kassel have built a residential building according to the plans of the architect and Bauhaus teacher Ludwig Hilberseimer in the "Laubengang" estate in Dessau-Törten; this world cultural heritage site is located about 120 kilometres southwest of Berlin and was never completed.
Hilberseimer (1885 – 1967) had designed the L-shaped one-storey wooden house in 1930. According to the plans of Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer and Hilberseimer himself, 400 copies of this type were to supplement the ensemble of "Laubenganghäuser" (arcaded houses) in Dessau. While most of the arcaded houses were realised and have acquired World Heritage status in 2017, the economic and political crisis that began in 1929 prevented the construction of the additional low-rise buildings. In 1932, only one example was realized for the exhibition on the Growing House in Berlin. "By far the most innovative contribution of the Bauhaus to housing construction is almost forgotten today," says the Kassel architecture professor Philipp Oswalt, who headed the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation from 2009 to 2014. "Especially since it doesn't fit into the usual Bauhaus cliché: Not made of glass, steel and concrete, but of simple wooden construction, inexpensive, ecological and expandable".
Oswalt made up for this by prototyping one of the buildings with students over the past three weeks, on a site directly next to one of the "Laubenganghäuser". "This is the first time that the innovative overall urban concept has been made clear, as has the stimulating Hilberseimer house type. We correct a one-sided picture of the Bauhaus and give an impulse to today's housing debate. At the same time, this is a kind of reenactment in the anniversary year of the Bauhaus," says Oswalt.
On Sunday, the building will be ceremoniously opened and the key handed over to the operator, the Deutscher Werkbund Sachsen-Anhalt.
Oswalt heads the Department of Architectural Theory and Design at Kassel University. One focus of research in this field is the work of Hannes Meyer (1889-1954) and its effects. As the second Bauhaus director in 1928-1930, Meyer reoriented the Bauhaus by forcing close cooperation with industry and establishing his own construction department. He was looking for an architecture oriented towards social use. His directorate followed the motto "People's needs instead of luxury".
Note to editors: The opening will take place on 11 August, 12 noon, in Dessau-Törten, Mittelbreite 12. All media representatives are cordially invited.

SQL Server Security
SQL Server has many features that support creating secure database applications.
Common security considerations, such as data theft or vandalism, apply regardless of the version of SQL Server you are using. Data integrity should also be considered as a security issue. If data is not protected, it is possible that it could become worthless if ad hoc data manipulation is permitted and the data is inadvertently or maliciously modified with incorrect values or deleted entirely. In addition, there are often legal requirements that must be adhered to, such as the correct storage of confidential information. Storing some kinds of personal data is proscribed entirely, depending on the laws that apply in a particular jurisdiction.
Each version of SQL Server has different security features, as does each version of Windows, with later versions having enhanced functionality over earlier ones. It is important to understand that security features alone cannot guarantee a secure database application. Each database application is unique in its requirements, execution environment, deployment model, physical location, and user population. Some applications that are local in scope may need only minimal security whereas other local applications or applications deployed over the Internet may require stringent security measures and ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
The security requirements of a SQL Server database application should be considered at design time, not as an afterthought. Evaluating threats early in the development cycle gives you the opportunity to mitigate potential damage wherever a vulnerability is detected.
Even if the initial design of an application is sound, new threats may emerge as the system evolves. By creating multiple lines of defense around your database, you can minimize the damage inflicted by a security breach. Your first line of defense is to reduce the attack surface area by never to granting more permissions than are absolutely necessary.
The topics in this section briefly describe the security features in SQL Server that are relevant for developers, with links to relevant topics in SQL Server Books Online and other resources that provide more detailed coverage.

Corning Mennonite Church (Corning, California, USA)
From GAMEO
Corning Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), now extinct, was located north of Sacramento, California, the center of a small Mennonite settlement established in 1907. E. Stanley, formerly of Nampa, Idaho, served as deacon and in 1911 was ordained minister. Services were held in an old Methodist church in Corning, the building having been purchased by Stanley. The first family moved away in 1910; others followed so that in several years no members remained there.

Waste in FEHB Program Could Be Costing $1 Billion Annually
A new GAO report says that payments made to ineligible family members under FEHB could be costing OPM as much as $1 billion every year.
By Ian Smith Updated: January 19, 2023 11:07 AM Categories Federal Employee Pay News Leave a comment
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office says that a lack of oversight from the Office of Personnel Management of the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program could be wasting as much as $1 billion every year.
This is occurring due to a lack of information about the number of ineligible family members receiving payments under the FEHB program.
According to GAO:
OPM does not have a precise estimate of how many ineligible members exist and at what cost to the [FEHB] program. OPM officials told us [GAO] they recognize ineligible individuals may be covered in FEHB, and information from OPM indicates the cost savings from performing a DEVA [audit designed to verify the eligibility of currently covered dependents, such as spouses and children] for all existing family members to be in the estimated range of $360 million to about $1 billion. According to OPM officials, these estimated cost savings would generally be an avoidance of future claims costs as opposed to current return of actual dollars. As mentioned, FEHB premiums paid by the government and enrollees are intended to cover members' health care costs (including claims), plans' administrative expenses, and other costs. Thus, these estimates would represent savings to the federal government and enrollees who pay FEHB premiums.
However, due to limitations in OPM's own estimates, costs could be lower or even higher than these projections. GAO said, "OPM's OIG [Office of Inspector General] estimates the cost of ineligibles at between $250 million and $3 billion annually. OPM has stated it believes the OPM OIG's estimate is too high, in part because of the cost of certain family members. GAO did not independently verify the accuracy of the OIG estimate."
GAO said in its report that although OPM has taken steps to enable a process for employing offices and FEHB carriers to identify and remove ineligible members from the FEHB program, the agency does not plan to establish a means of monitoring to identify and remove ineligible family members who already have FEHB coverage. GAO says that without such oversight, ineligible family members may remain covered and related improper payments may continue to accrue over time, thereby wasting as much as $1 billion per year on improper payments according to OPM's own estimates.
Consequently, GAO recommends in the report that OPM implement a monitoring mechanism to identify and remove ineligible family members from the FEHB program and assess and document the likelihood and impact of fraud risks associated with ineligible FEHB members.
Specifically, GAO made the following four recommendations to OPM:
The Director of OPM should implement a monitoring mechanism to ensure employing offices and carriers are verifying family member eligibility as required by OPM's 2021 guidance.
The Director of OPM should implement a monitoring mechanism to identify and remove ineligible family members from the FEHB program.
The Director of OPM should assess the likelihood and impact of the fraud risk related to ineligible FEHB members.
The Director of OPM should document its assessment of the fraud risk related to ineligible members in its fraud risk profile for the FEHB program.
OPM agreed with three of the four recommendations but only partially agreed with GAO's first suggestion to implement a monitoring mechanism to ensure that employing offices and carriers are verifying family member eligibility. Regarding this, GAO said:
OPM partially concurred with our first recommendation to implement a monitoring mechanism to ensure employing offices and FEHB carriers are verifying family member eligibility as required by OPM's 2021 guidance. In its comments, OPM identified steps it has taken to ensure that its 2021 guidance is consistently followed. This included surveying agencies and carriers related to verification practices and providing training. At the same time, OPM agreed that further monitoring through comprehensive audit may be appropriate. The steps described in OPM's comments are positive actions to help ensure compliance. However, as OPM acknowledged, it may need to take additional action to implement a monitoring mechanism to ensure employing offices and FEHB carriers are verifying family member eligibility going forward. As such, we believe this recommendation is still warranted.
GAO conducted its analysis of the FEHB and issued its report at the behest of Senators Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Rick Scott (R-FL) who asked GAO to review OPM's efforts to prevent, detect, and remove ineligible family members from the FEHB program.
In response to the GAO report, both Senators issued statements. Johnson said:
OPM's grotesque mismanagement of the FEHB program is yet another example of the vast dysfunction in our federal agencies. Biden's OPM has miserably failed to fix this issue, wasting $1 billion taxpayer dollars per year. Unless OPM takes immediate corrective action, even more taxpayer dollars will be carelessly wasted. This Administration's negligence has resulted in soaring inflation and massive deficit spending. The federal government should answer to the American people instead of mortgaging our children's future.
Scott said:
I am appalled that OPM is wasting $1 BILLION of taxpayer dollars every year by failing to properly monitor the FEHB program and has no plan to fix it. Federal funds do not belong to Congress or the Executive Branch, they belong to the American people. While too many in Washington seen to forget that it is hardworking taxpayers fund these programs, I won't. We cannot allow the Biden administration to continue the wasteful spending that's led to raging inflation and $31 TRILLION in debt. OPM, and every government entity should have zero tolerance for any waste or misuse of tax dollars and should immediately adopt GAO's recommendations to end this wasteful spending. When I was Governor, I ordered a Dependent Eligibility Verification Audit of Florida's group health insurance program that resulted in over $20 million saved. I know we can do the same at the federal level.

KC Concepcion was hit with a wave of nostalgia upon seeing her mother, Megastar Sharon Cuneta, take the stage in her latest concert, "ICONIC", alongside Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez over the weekend.
On Instagram, KC shared that the concert instantly brought her back to her childhood as she grew up joining her mother on concert tours and watching her perform.
This moment reminds me of my whole childhood. 🎤 How I grew up joining my mother on concert tours, watching her perform. I would see her getting all dolled up, preparing backstage and finally stepping on stage to perform with her heart and soul. I love this version of her. The music. The lights, the costumes, the makeup, the singing, the performing, the bands, the backup singers, audiences, speakers, lights, the stage, production, everything. The craft. All different genres of music. I grew up around it all. What a blessing it is to witness until today, my mother in concert. And how I get butterflies in my tummy watching everything come together to create a show. . Thank you mama for exposing me to this wonderful world from birth. My first idol, my first influence. It is and forever will be a big part of me. You've placed music, and this industry you love, in my own heart and soul. It is no wonder that I grew in me a love for this world, this work and this craft. You've taught me the value of loving our job and working hard. Whether it be as an actress, recording artist, performer, tv host, entrepreneur, I know true dedication is in constantly building and growing, getting up and to just keep going even when people don't always see the process. I learned from you. And you have touched people's lives through this, which inspires me the most. 🎵🖤💥 #ICONIC #TheKCDiaries

As an adult, KC said that she still gets butterflies in her stomach whenever she sees her mother in concert.
Thank you to all of you who watched ICONIC at the Araneta last night and the other night, especially to my beloved SHARONIANS! You have NEVER left me or stopped loving and supporting me and you are all beloved to me! Thank you to all of Regine's fans too who made all of us on our side happy, and also for making me feel appreciated and respected. And especially for loving and supporting Regine. God bless you all and thank you so much for all your prayers! I love you with all my heart!!!❤😘🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🌟🌟🥰💐

The best trading environment from all aspects.
With the obvious keyword being personalized, once you take out the notion that "one size fits all" and provide traders with the ability to personalize every aspect of their trading experience, you substantially increase the opportunity to succeed by eliminating much of the data and irrelevant tools, information or whatever it may be which stands in the way of countless traders who simply stop trading because they cannot understand the basic logic of the markets or have the personalized service, analysis and support they need to help guide them until they're comfortable and confident to trade successfully.
Whether it is the relationship between a client and an analyst or the relationship between iBrokers and an independent service provider such as a firm which generates Trading Signals, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship is in the best interest of all.
Communicating is key to building trust between all parties. That's why releasing statements to our clients, Press Releases through the media and even letters such as this is an important aspect of building on the trust we believe is of vital importance to the health of our company and the success of our clients and partners.
Releasing a statement that is inspirational in meaning yet has no credible value is simply words with no value. Credible Inspiration is being able to inspire one's team so that they, in turn, may further inspire their clientbase to aim for success and accept nothing less. Not because we say they can succeed  but because we've built a team that's dedicated, willing and able to guide them along the way to achieving the goals they set for themselves.
We value anything and everything you have to say and invite you to connect with us and share your thoughts so that we may improve our business in order to create the best trading environment we can!

Q: Finding exacts matches while ignoring custom tags I'm working with an index where there's a mix of documents and some might contain custom tags like:

*

*"Some long sentence <custom-tag attr="value" /> which ends here"

*"Some long sentence <custom-tag attr="value" /> which ends <custom-tag-2 attr="value2" /> here"

*"Another long sentence <another-custom-tag attr="value" /> which ends <another-custom-tag attr=value /> here"

I'm supposed to find exact matches completely agnostic to tag's names and attributes.
Building such an hypothetical query, the first thing which comes to my mind are regular expressions, for example:

*

*"Some long sentence regex(<[^>]*>? which ends here"

would return the first document, and

*

*"Some long sentence regex(<[^>]*>? which ends regex(<[^>]*>? here"

would return the second document.
Is this something I could achieve with Lucene 3.x ? I'm even considering migrating to Lucene 4.8 Beta if it justifies.
As anyone dealt with something similar? Are there pitfalls I should consider?
I guess the easiest way would to store the same text but stripped away from tags on a second field and perform the search on that one instead.
I'd appreciate any input or suggestions.

A: Your best option (in any version) is to create a TokenFilter which would recognise the tag/regex and omit them from the token stream.
btw: I've found it "good" to never store the fields (possibly excepting the "identifier" field. Then serializing the object into a binary field. This separates the "index" from the "data". There is some benefit in search speed and IO requirements

The practice of hitchhiking presents many challenges and opportunities, as this quote (from an interview with an experienced hitchhiker) suggests. But are there things we can learn from it that can be useful to other social and cultural activities?
As a creative learning organisation and an experienced partner in collaborative research that explores the value and impact of community-led, participatory and co-design practice, The Glass-House was recently invited to contribute to a small research project, Rules of Thumb, to explore this question.
Commissioned by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Protopublics or Developing participation in social design: Prototyping projects, programmes and policies is a project that aims to prototype new kinds of research collaboration that could contribute to societal change and collective outcomes. After a two-day sprint workshop to generate project ideas, I joined the research team of the Rules of Thumb project, led by Dr Damon Taylor from Brighton University.
Working with our Open University colleague Dr Theo Zamenopoulous and project lead Damon, we used the desk-based research on hitchhiking practice by researchers from the project team and quickly identified a range of themes (like risk, control, positivity, signals and trust) that could spark new thinking and challenge traditional approaches, in other forms of social practice. These themes became prompts in a 'game' that would take groups on a journey that mimicked hitchhiking, with the elements of the random and unexpected firmly at its centre.
At the end of July, we brought together members of housing cooperatives and cohousing groups for a two-day workshop in Brighton to test the game and its usefulness – starting our 'journey' at a well-known service station and hitchhiking spot, Pease Pottage, near Gatwick airport.
Following a general discussion about the opportunities and challenges of housing cooperatives, participants were divided into two groups to play the game. Using a chance wheel, groups moved between different issues and scenarios, with chance cards that challenged participants to think about their issues from a different angle or context. From this exploration, each group had a set of scenarios, of issues explored that could be used to create short films to capture and convey ideas and issues.
The game proved to be an effective tool for stimulating conversation and participants felt that it helped them to look at and reflect on issues differently and created a useful space for reflection.
Above all, it provided an interesting and fun way to bring people together, to listen and to connect with each other – an important starting point for growing understanding and creating spaces for collaboration and action to affect change.

2022 PGT Stairway to Millions: Michael Wang, Jake Schindler, Nick Petrangelo win events
Thursday January 20, 2022 at 2:25 am
by Pauly McGuire
The 2022 PokerGo Tour Stairway to Millions continued at the Aria Casino with three more high roller events in the books. Michael Wang was the last player standing in Stairway to Millions Event #5 $15,000 NL which featured 43 players and paid out $219,300 to Wang. Event #6 $25,000 included 25 entrants, but Jake Schindler emerged as the victory with $287,500 score. Event #7 $50,000 had just 21 players, and Nick Petrangelo knocked out Ali Imsirovic heads up to win $567,000.
Nick Petrangelo - Stairway to Millions Event #7 winner
If you recognize some of the names, it's because there's a small group of high-balling superstars that have no fear when it comes to flinging chips around for hundreds of thousands of dollars on a random weekday. In this case, several notable players stepped into the winner's circle at the Aria Casino in Las Vegas this week during the latest installment of the hop new high roller series known as the Stairway to Millions, which had tournaments with escalating buy-ins throughout the duration of the shark-infested series.
Michael Wang, Jake Schindler, and Ali Imsirovic were all the big winners this week, which is a heck of a way to put your stamp on 2022.
Stairway to Millions Event #5 $15,000 NL attracted 43 runners and a prize pool worth $645,000. Only the top seven places paid out. David Coleman min-cashed in seventh place. The final table included Michael Wang, Larry Greenberg, Bill Klein, Vikenty Shegal, Stephen Chidwick, and Sean Winter.
Wang and Greenberg were the last two players standing. They slugged it out for the title and top cash, but when the dust settled, Greenberg was knocked out in second place. Wang won Event #5 and earned a payout worth $219,300. He also scored some juicy PGT Leaderboard points with the victory.
Stairway to Millions Event #6 $25,000 NL had only 25 entrants, but it was a stacked field. The top four places got a cut of the $625,000 prize pool.
The final four included Sean Winter, Alex Foxen, Nick Petrangelo, and Jake Schindler. Yup, familiar faces indeed. Winter busted first and min-cashed, followed by Foxen in third place. Nick Petrangelo and Jake Schindler squared off in a heavyweight battle. In this instance, Schindler landed a knock-out blow and took out Petrangelo in second place, which paid out $175K. Schindler earned a first-place payday worth $287,500.
Stairway to Millions Event #7 $50,000 was a huge leap with a buy-in that doubled the previous tournament. A total of 21 players took part in Event #7, and only the top three places earned a cut of the $1.05 million prize pool.
The final three who cashed included Nick Petrangelo, Ali Imsirovic, and Chris Brewer. Brewer busted in third place and min-cashed for $168,000. Not too shabby for a min-cash, eh?
Imsirovic was the top player in 2021 in PokerGo Tour events and won the 2021 PGT Player of the Year. He didn't lose much steam from last season in the first series of the new year at the Venetian High Roller in early January. He also waited a week before he attempted to win another high balla affair at the Aria. Except this time, he fell short of the goal and busted in second place. Imsirovic settled on a runner-up finish and a score worth $315,000, which isn't that bad all things considered. He just wasn't able to prevent Nick Petrangelo from going the distance. Petrangelo banked $567,000 for his victory.
The big win in the $50K at the Stairway to Millions thrust Petrangelo to the top of the PGT Leaderboard with 445 points. Michael Wang sits in second on the leaderboard with 354 points, while Imsirovic lurks in third with 351. Punnat Punsri, the Thai pro who shipped back-to-back events at the Venetian, is now fourth overall with 251 points.
