text: 34 www.metals.rala.com.au METAL Casting Technologies 3rd Quarter 2017 35 and applying pressure after pouring were not effective, since before developing full pressure inside the vessel, the casting solidified partially. The problem was overcome by arranging a liquid metal basin at the top of the vessel having attachment of stopper rod to control pouring. After developing full pressure, stopper rod was lifted to fill liquid metal in the LFC. In an earlier work, it was reported that the porosity, elongation and high cycle fatigue strength of sand casting are 1.0%, 3.0% and 55.2 MPa, 0.1%, 5% and 82.7 MPa for permanent mould castings and 0.01%, 8% and 110.3 MPa for LFC under pressure [12]. In another work on LFC under pressure, wedge shaped castings in A356, A319 and A206 aluminium alloy castings were produced under 1 atm. and 10 atm. pressure. Open cavity castings were also produced for comparison. The castings were heat treated and their porosity and tensile properties were evaluated. Pore size and frequency decreased substantially for all these three alloys with the application of pressure. Elongation of A356, A319 and A206 castings increased by 50-130%, 13-45% and 110-750% respectively in LFC with the application of pressure. Comparing the LFC and open cavity castings in A206 alloy, the elongation are 110-750% and 3-560% respectively under pressure. Higher elongation % in LFC compared to open cavity casting proves that the pressure is more accessible to the surface all over the castings in LFC through loose sand, whereas in open cavity casting, the pressure is active only over the liquid metal surface in riser. Plasma Treatment Casting The Plasma Treatment Casting (PTC) process has been developed applicable to LFC with the objective of reducing porosity and refining the microstructure of a casting [13]. The PTC process uses a DC power source, servo motor and PTC electrode to generate a moving electric plasma arc on top of the liquid metal in riser of a LFC casting. The moving electric plasma in riser induces changing magnetic field and hence intensive stirring occurs in molten metal in the casting. The effect of this stirring is finer microstructure with less DAS and reduction in porosity size and porosity ratio. Experiments have been conducted to produce cylinder head castings in aluminium by LFC under plasma treatment. The PTC (+) electrodes was connected at the top risers and (-) connection was provided at the bottom or desired placed in the casting. Aluminium alloy was poured in the LFC moulds and optimized current and voltage were applied for predetermined timing repeated four times during the entire solidification time. Optical microscopy showed lower DAS by 40%, however, still finer microstructure was observed near (-) connection. Porosity size reduced from 0.4 – 0.9mm for conventional LFC to 0.1 – 0.3mm for PTC castings. Similarly porosity ratio decreased from 0.8 -1 .2% in conventional LFC castings to 0.2 – 0.3% for PTC castings. Conclusion LFC is an economical process for production of complex castings in Al and iron, where a number of cores are required. However higher porosity and fold/lustrous carbon defects are formed due to formation of gases by decomposition of the pattern material during pouring. In Replicast process, these defects are eliminated by removing the pattern material by firing before pouring. However the time required to produce the ceramic shell around EPS pattern is longer and additional cost of firing the shell is involved. Other techniques such as vacuum assisted filling, solidification under pressure and plasma treatment casting reduces porosity and improves mechanical properties of castings. Hence cost, productivity, safety and convenience of each technique needs to be evaluated in terms of improvement in mechanical properties for its commercial application in LFC. n TECHNICAL FEATURE TECHNICAL FEATURE REFERENCES 1) H.

The sand is compacted on a vibrating table before a partial vacuum is applied to the sand to create a firm support for the shell, after which molten metal is poured in. In conventional LFC, burning of EPS during filling of liquid metal causes entrapment of pattern pyrolysis products and results in fold and porosity defects in castings. Using inert ceramic shells by removing traces of EPS pattern by firing reduces the possibility of porosity defects in Replicast process castings. The process can be used to make high integrity castings, with improved machinability and an excellent surface finish, weighing from a few grams, up to 3.5 tonnes. LFC under vacuum During filling of a LFC, pattern pyrolysis products causes fold and porosity defects in castings. These defects reduce the mechanical properties of castings and surface quality of castings is also impaired when pyrolysis products are deposited on surface. Fold defect on the surface of aluminium alloy castings are known as 'alligator skin' and similar defect on iron castings is known as 'lustrous carbon' due to their appearance. The root cause of fold defect is merging liquid metal fronts during filling of LFC. Residual pyrolysis products of EPS and aluminium oxide in aluminium alloy castings are entrapped in the merging liquid metal fronts resulting in fold defects. The occurrence of merging liquid metal fronts is more severe in LFC compared to conventional sand castings due to chaotic filling in LFC resulted from burning of EPS pattern. Lower metal temperature at the last filling regions of a casting is another factor for fold defect. Increasing the pouring temperature reduces the fold defect. However the solubility of hydrogen gas in liquid aluminium increases with temperature. Hence during solidification more porosity would be formed in aluminium alloy castings when poured at higher temperature. Vacuum assisted filling of liquid metal is one measure to reduce fold and porosity defects in LFCs [8-10]. To apply vacuum in LFC, the coated EPS pattern assembly is placed in a flask similar to that used in V-process, in which four vertical walls are hollow and perforations are provided at the inner surfaces of the vertical walls. The pattern assembly is embedded in loose sand and a plastic film is placed at the top of the flask except the pouring cup area to seal for creating vacuum. Aluminium alloy castings have been produced with this set up. Pyrolysis products on the surface of the castings and porosity were less when cast under vacuum, as the gaseous products of decomposition of EPS were extracted out more effectively compared to conventional LFC during filling of liquid metal. In conventional LFC, high gas pressure is generated in between liquid metal front and residual EPS during filling. This effect increases the pouring time. When poured under vacuum, gases are extracted fast through coating and therefore the pouring time is reduced. Therefore castings should be filled completely with lower metal temperature when the pouring time is less. In actual production lower pouring temperature could be used to fill the castings completely. Therefore porosity in vacuum assisted pouring was further reduced due to lower pouring temperature, since less dissolved hydrogen is present in liquid metal at lower temperature. Tensile test of the aluminium alloy castings poured under vacuum showed improved mechanical properties. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation % of the castings improved when poured under vacuum and at lower temperature. These improvements can be attributed to the reduced porosity % and pore size in the castings produced under vacuum. LFC under pressure Attempts have been made to reduce porosity and improve mechanical properties of castings by applying pressure during solidification. There are reports on applying pressure over riser to reduce porosity in aluminium alloy castings [11]. However the pressure is not accessible to all regions of a complex casting depending upon the progress of solidification. Application of pressure during solidification is effective to reduce gas porosity by suppressing its nucleation and pressure feeding minimizes shrinkage porosity. Earlier works reported that porosity in castings solidified under pressure reduced significantly, but mechanical properties were not improved unless gassy metal was used. On the other hand, works in the recent past on the effect of pressure during solidification of LFC of complex shapes reported both reductions in porosity as well as improvements in mechanical properties [12]. To apply pressure during solidification of a LFC, the coated pattern assembly is placed inside a pressure vessel and compacted with unbounded sand. Attempts to close the vessel PYROLYSIS PRODUCTS ON THE SURFACE OF THE CASTINGS AND POROSITY WERE LESS WHEN CAST UNDER VACUUM, AS THE GASEOUS PRODUCTS OF DECOMPOSITION OF EPS WERE EXTRACTED OUT MORE EFFECTIVELY COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL LFC DURING FILLING OF LIQUID METAL. IN CONVENTIONAL LFC, HIGH GAS PRESSURE IS GENERATED IN BETWEEN LIQUID METAL FRONT AND RESIDUAL EPS DURING FILLING. LFC IS AN ECONOMICAL PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF COMPLEX CASTINGS IN AL AND IRON, WHERE A NUMBER OF CORES ARE REQUIRED. HOWEVER HIGHER POROSITY AND FOLD/LUSTROUS CARBON DEFECTS ARE FORMED DUE TO FORMATION OF GASES BY DECOMPOSITION OF THE PATTERN MATERIAL DURING POURING.

Engineering Trio Elected Fellows
Newly elected fellows are, from left, John Crassidis, Hui Meng and Thenkuruss "Kesh" Kesavadas
By KEVIN STEWART
Within the past year three faculty members in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering were elected as fellows by the national professional organizations in their respective specialties in recognition of outstanding accomplishments in their fields.
John Crassidis was elected a fellow of the American Astronautical Society (AAS), Thenkuruss "Kesh" Kesavadas was elected a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Hui Meng was elected a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
While all three represent the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, their individual interests speak to the diversity of the discipline.
Crassidis, CUBRC Professor in Space Situational, was elected to AAS "for outstanding contributions in spacecraft attitude estimation and space situational awareness applications."
He works with NASA, the Department of Defense and other agencies to monitor space debris, also known as space junk, which threatens satellites and future space missions.
There is no cost-effective way to remove space debris, so researchers like Crassidis are developing ways to better track the thousands of manmade objects that orbit Earth. His latest project is LANSAT, or Lightcurve Analyzing NanoSATellite, a U.S. Air Force-funded project that NASA plans to send into space in two years.
In addition to teaching and conducting research at UB, Crassidis serves as associate director of the Center for Multisource Information Fusion (CMIF), an organization operated by UB and CUBRC that works to streamline massive amounts of data into useful information for government agencies, business and other partners.
A three-time UB alumnus — PhD '93, MS '91 & BS '89 — Crassidis joined the UB faculty in 2001.
Kesavadas, a UB faculty member since 1996 and director of UB's Virtual Reality Lab, has published more than 125 papers in the areas of robotics and automation, haptics, virtual reality and medical simulation. He was elected to ASME "for outstanding engineering achievements."
Among his more recent projects, he collaborated with researchers at Roswell Park Cancer Institute to produce the Robotic Surgical Simulator (RoSS), which allows surgeons to practice skills needed to perform robot-assisted surgery without risk to patients. He co-founded Simulated Surgical Systems LLC to market RoSS and received the 2001 Entrepreneur of the Year award from UB.
He also co-founded Tactus Technologies, a local company that provides virtual reality, visualization and simulation products and services. Tactus Technologies developed a first-of-its-kind, virtual-reality training program for forklift operators, a product that is expected to reduce work-related injuries and deaths.
Meng, who also applies her engineering knowledge to medical fields, was elected to the AIMBE "for outstanding contributions to understanding the roles of high wall shear stresses and spatial gradients in vascular pathology."
She studies fluid dynamics — using these principles to examine the movement and characteristics of blood as it travels through the human body — and is particularly interested in the relationship between blood flow and brain aneurysms.
A prolific scholar, she has published more than 120 academic papers. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke.
Among her numerous honors is a UB Exceptional Scholar Award Sustained Achievement Award, which recognizes a researcher's work that has "garnered public and/or professional accolades beyond the norm."

Q: Parsing Text, Assigning Variable, Updating Variable I am looking to take a number of text files, parse them, find the largest number after a certain regular expression and put that into a variable.
Here is what I have thus far:
$txt_file = file_get_contents('files/11042013_300_active_users.log');
$rows = explode("\n", $txt_file);

$array_size = sizeof($rows);

for($i=0; $i < $array_size; $i++){
    echo $rows[$i];
    echo "<br />";
}

$max_user = 0;

for($i=0; $i < $array_size; $i++){
    if(preg_match("cnt=", $rows[$i])){
        $max_user++;
    }

}

echo $max_user;

The files I want to look in are regular text files. Here is an example of what is inside:
11/04/13 07:51:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=1
11/04/13 08:06:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=1
11/04/13 08:21:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=1
11/04/13 08:36:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=1
11/04/13 08:51:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=2
11/04/13 09:06:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=5
11/04/13 09:21:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=5
11/04/13 09:36:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=2
11/04/13 09:51:14 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= total cnt=2

I am interested in finding the largest integer after "cnt=" for each line.
Based on my code above, I keep getting 0 for $max_users. I don't believe I'm using the preg_match function correctly.
What is the best function to use in order to search an array based on a regular expression ("cnt="), and grab what comes directly after (the integer)?

A: Pretty simple change:
if(preg_match("/cnt=(\d+)$/", $rows[$i], $matches)){
    if ($matches[1] > $max_user) {
       $max_user = $matches[1];
    }
}

Capture the digit(s) after cnt, and keep track of which one was largest.

A: This can be easily accomplished without using a regex. You can use strpos() to find the position of cnt= string, then use substr() to get everything after it (which, in this case, is what you want), and add the values into an array. Once the loop finishes execution, you can simply grab the largest value from the array using max() function.
$values = array();
for($i=0; $i < $array_size; $i++){
    // 4 is the length of the string 'cnt='
    $values[] = (int) substr($rows[$i], strpos($rows[$i], 'cnt=') + 4);
}

$max_user = max($values); // get the largest value from the array
echo $max_user; // => 5

Now, to answer your original question:

Based on my code above, I keep getting 0 for $max_users. I don't believe I'm using the preg_match function correctly.

You aren't. The regular expression needs to be wrapped in valid delimiters and you're not having one in your code. Also, even if there was one, it wouldn't work, because you're only checking if the line contains cnt= string -- which will be true for all the lines in this case.
You need to use capturing groups in your regular expression. For example:
if (preg_match("/cnt=(\d+)$/", $rows[$i], $matches)) {
    // $matches[1] contains only what's captured by the first parenthesis
    // which in this case, is the digit after 'cnt='

    // code to store the result in a variable and do the processing ...
}

I would like to watch this series, because it was partly shot on well-known locations here in Holland including Amsterdam+Amersfoort. And it's about vampires. I also like the old Count Dracula movies by British Hammer.
TVB-series BLUE VEINS was partly shot here in Holland. Sadly I didn't know the shooting schedule. Some people I personally know went to take a look at several locations. It must have been nice. Chloe Yuen Yee, one of the cast members, was born and raised in Holland. She used to be the assistant in the former TVB-programme MINUTES TO FAME with Hacken Lee+Joey Leung.
BLUE VEINS was partly shot on several famous locations here in Holland. Sadly I didn't know the shooting schedule at the time. Some people I personally know went to the shooting locations to take a look. It must have been nice.
She could, but that was not her biggest wish I guess?


Beautiful. Love the idea of a deconstructed Trapanese. I've made the original with Pecorino added and Busiate. The colors, texture, individual flavors look more retained this way. If you omit the squid (although it looks great that way), would you add cheese?
As much as Pesto Trapanese is traditional and delicious, I think your presentation has much more visual appeal as well as rustic quality. I have seen some of the other videos, and you are getting this thing down! Despite the rule of "Pesce senza formaggio", yes, a little Pecorino (in the sense of a white clam pizza and other dishes), with the squid sounds good! Definitely something to make before long. I have an idea for the pasta (not Busiate). I'll surprise you. Thanks again!! Fantastico!!
You're welcome, Mark. Can't wait for your version.
Wow, what a great video. I love your style. I have a couple of questions. You said that this is not quite Sicilian pesto because it is not done with a mortar and pestle, correct? Would the tomato, almond, herbs and garlic be ground together? Thanks!
Hi anitaliandish, Yes, it's traditionally ground up in a mortar, with raw tomatoes. It tastes excellent, but the color turns brownish when everything is mushed together. So glad you like this. I've got about 5 other videos up on a youtube channel under my name. I just started making these about a month ago.


The Healthy Start System is a revolutionary new technique to correct Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). This new non-invasive technique is a natural way of straightening teeth, which eliminates the need for plastic aligners, braces, and surgery.
The Healthy Start System prevents orthodontic problems and improves your smile.
Is there any danger in not treating your child's Sleep Disordered Breathing?
When left untreated, SDB can lead to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), which is a life threatening medical condition. Apart from developing OSA, patients with Sleep Disordered Breathing can also suffer from hypertension, coronary artery disease, strokes, weight gain, and diabetes.
Unfortunately, traditional treatments for this problem don't actually straighten teeth.
child live a normal life again. Studies have shown that this treatment can have a dramatic impact on your child's life, often allowing him/her to live without prescription medicines.
After your child has undergone the Healthy Start Treatment, he/she will sleep peacefully at night. It will improve his/her focus in school and allow your children to go after their dreams in life. They will be better rested and have enough energy to run through the day like other kids.
Enrolling your child for the Healthy Start Treatment could also help treat ADD and ADHD as inadequate sleep often causes it. With straight teeth and better breathing, your child will eventually sleep properly and reduce the need for prescription drugs to treat ADHD.
The Healthy Start System is an entirely natural way to straighten teeth. It has already shown better results compared to traditional orthodontics. Instead of correcting teeth, this treatment program focuses entirely on preventing orthodontic problems.
When using this unique new treatment system, your child doesn't need to wear braces or plastic aligners. Your dentist won't suggest surgery to fix teeth, and yet your kids will have a picture perfect smile.
The Healthy Start System uses numerous appliances at different stages of the treatment to guide teeth as they grow. As a result of this painless technique, your children grow straight teeth that improve their personality and boost their confidence.
Here are some benefits of using the Healthy Start Treatment in children.
Helps to correct teeth in children within 12 months.
Eliminates the need for braces.
Helps with arch expansion and therefore avoids surgery for extractions.
Most appliances are to be used at night, making it easy to children to put them on.
Improves lower jaw alignment and develops a beautiful smile.
The Healthy Start System appliances leverage the natural forces of facial growth. Using these pressure points, your dentist can direct your teeth in the right direction.
The devices used for this system are comfortable to use, and they use a soft material to make them painless.
These devices work by naturally expanding the developing jaws to help the erupting teeth grow in its ideal position. This technique not only supports the correct growth of teeth but it also fixes lower jaw and makes your smile even more charming.
With the right appliances in place, periodontal fiber tissues grow straight. These fiber bundles serve as anchors for teeth. When they grow straight, the problem of crooked teeth will be gone for good. Your children won't need braces to fix their teeth.
The Healthy Start System works in three phases, explained below.
The first phase, also known as habit-corrector, focuses on improving your child's oral habits. Appliances are used to help your child breathe through the nasal track rather than breathing with an open mouth. Moreover, children are encouraged to swallow properly during this phase. How your child eats food changes the way, new teeth erupt.
The appliances used in the first phase are non-invasive and painless, similar to devices used during other phases of The Health Start System. Your child will wear preventive appliances at night and for two hours during the day.
Your child will wear something similar to a peacemaker. They might seem irritated on the first few nights, but soon they will become used to it. Depending on the oral condition of your child, he/she may have to wear it for anywhere between 4 to 20 weeks.
During this phase, the treatment focuses on expanding your child's arches so that permanent teeth could find enough space to grow straight. It prevents crooked tooth and eliminates the need for braces during teenage.
Depending on the individual situation, your dentist could recommend wearing this second phase device for 8 to 30 weeks.
In the third and the last phase of the Healthy Start Treatment, your dentist will work on the proper alignment of your child's new adult teeth. This phase usually starts when your child has 3-4 permanent teeth.
It is one of the most critical phases in teeth correction. It's the time when gum tissue fibers start attaching themselves to the teeth. With proper appliances, your child's teeth will form correctly and align with each other, giving your child a perfect smile and healthy teeth.

pb Salisbury United Kingdom working ST:TNG that has the following issues: 1.) drop target locked on. 2.) a cannon wiring fault (I think one of the small wires has broken). 3.) in need of new plastics throughout and could do with a clean in areas you can't reach without a total strip down. 4.) it has been modified under the playfield, 2 wires into 1 for each coil, not sure why they did that but I suspect it was suppose to help easy coil removal when on site.

Pizza is considered to be a sufficiently balanced dish from the nutritional point of view, and it covers almost every consumption occasion 24 hours a day. Don Basilico is specialized in this world-famous product - but typical of Italian cuisine - made with particular care in the selection of raw materials used and in preparation methods.
The pizzas are made in a manner and timing that fully respects the traditions of excellence: above all, natural 48-long leavening, which makes the product highly digestible and the unique dough, the result of long experiments. The ingredients are no less: for our pizzas, we use only cream milk mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil and super fresh raw materials. The menu consists of numerous pizzas, from the classic ones to the more particular ones. The white pizzas are a hit, but the flat bread, the calzone pizzas and take-away fries are also very appreciated.
Over time, home-delivery service has been perfected, one of the main weaknesses of the numerous DIY rivals, by learning to minimize waiting times and calculating arrival times. Today, deliveries are done on average within half an hour / forty minutes from the order time. Don Basilico makes clients loyal customers, giving them the utmost attention and importance in every detail: for example, thanks to the special thermal bags that keep the temperature of the pizza all the way to its destination.
The secret of Don Basilico today is a combination of many components: quality at an unbeatable price, impeccable home-delivery service, free and timely, capillary coverage of cities. "From the very beginning, we saw that what we were doing was much appreciated - says Matteo Romasco - and that our quality was also able to conquer persons who usually didn't eat pizza. Our pizzas have a genuine, handmade appearance and they keep the promise of a tasty, but light, high-digestible product.

Four years ago, Erin Reed's mom asked her to buy a bike so they could take up the hobby together. While mom decided biking wasn't her thing, daughter fell in love with it.
"Between my husband, our two boys and me, we now have eight bikes in the house," said Reed, whose family regularly puts their pedals to use on many of the 1,800 miles of bike trails that run throughout the state of Iowa. "We love to get outside and bike together."
Reed not only enjoys biking on Iowa's trails, she also loves running and walking on them. And it's more than a hobby for her. In 2016, Reed became the executive director of the Dickinson County Trails Board in Northwest Iowa.
"I always tell people that the trails are among the top reasons I moved to Iowa," said Reed, who relocated to Iowa from neighboring Minnesota in 2001. "We may live in a small town, but we have tons to do outdoors and a lot of it is centered around the trails."
Reed said the trails are open for use year-round where snow is cleared and it's not uncommon to see snowmobiles riding along signed routes designated for winter use. Peak season for biking on Iowa's trails ranges from April to October and that's when many of the area's most popular biking events take place.
Interested? Here are some of Reed's top recommendations:
Okoboji Bike & Bite, June 8 at the Dickinson County Fairgrounds in Spirit Lake. This will be the second year for this 17-mile ride that features food from local vendors.
Bike Ride Around Spirit Lake (BRASL), July 6. This will be the 27th year for the family-friendly ride around the scenic lake near the Iowa-Minnesota border.
University of Okoboji Campus Ride, June 29 in Milford. This is one of the largest biking events in the area that attracts 1,400-1,500 participants and features three route options: 25, 50 and 100 miles.
Sportsman's Tiki Bicycle Ride, Aug. 3 in Spirit Lake. This one's Reed's personal favorite. It features treasure hunts and prizes along both the 15- and 40-mile routes.
Oktoberfest Bike Ride, Sept. 28 in Okoboji. Take a 24-mile ride around West Lake Okoboji and there will be an ice-cold beer from a local brewery waiting for you when you cross the finish line.

The Republic of Buryatia (Russian: Респу́блика Буря́тия, tr. Respublika Buryatiya, IPA: [rʲɪsˈpublʲɪkə bʊˈrʲætʲɪjə]; Buryat: Буряад Улас, translit. Buryaad Ulas, pronounced [bʊˈrʲɑːt ʊˈlɑs], Mongolian: Буриад Улс, translit. Buriad Uls) is a federal subject of Russia (a republic), located in Siberia in Asia. Formerly part of the Siberian Federal District, it is now part of the Russian Far East as of November 2018 in accordance with a decree issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Its capital is the city of Ulan-Ude. Its area is 351,300 square kilometers (135,600 sq mi) with a population of 972,021 (2010 Census).
The republic is located in the south-central region of Siberia along the eastern shore of Lake Baikal.
Lake Baikal - Buryatia covers 60% percent of the lake's shoreline.
Over 80% of the republic's territory is located in the mountainous region, including the Baikal Mountains on the northern shores of Lake Baikal.
The republic's natural resources include gold, tungsten, zinc, uranium, and more.
Population: 972,021 (2010 Census); 981,238 (2002 Census); 1,041,119 (1989 Census).
According to the 2010 Census, ethnic Russians make up two-thirds of the republic's population, while the ethnic Buryats are only 30%. Other groups include Ukrainians (0.6%), Tatars (0.7%), and a host of smaller groups, each accounting for less than 0.5% of the total population.
1 In 1926, the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR included Aga-Buryatia, Ust-Orda Buryatia, and Olkhonsky District. These territories were transferred to Chita and Irkutsk Oblasts in 1937. Consequently, the results of the 1926 census cannot be compared to the results of the censuses of 1939 and later.
2 17,019 people were registered from administrative databases, and could not declare an ethnicity. It is estimated that the proportion of ethnicities in this group is the same as that of the declared group.

Mongolic-related Slab Grave cultural monuments are found in Baikal territory. The territory of Buryatia has been governed by the Xiongnu Empire (209 BC-93 CE) and Mongolian Xianbei state (93-234), Rouran Khaganate (330-555), Mongol Empire (1206-1368) and Northern Yuan (1368-1691). Medieval Mongol tribes like Merkit, Bayads, Barga Mongols and Tümeds inhabited in Buryatia. Today Buryat-Mongols populate the territory of Buryatia.
The area of the present-day Buryatia was first colonized in the 17th century by Russians in search of wealth, furs, and gold.
In 1923, the Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Buryat: Буряадай Автономито Совет Социалис Республика; Russian: Бурятская Автономная Советская Социалистическая Республика) was created as a result of the merger of State of Buryat-Mongolia and Mongol-Buryat Oblasts. In 1937, Aga Buryatia and Ust-Orda Buryatia were detached from the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR and merged with Chita and Irkutsk Oblasts, respectively. In 1958, the name "Mongol" was removed from the name of the republic. The Buryat ASSR declared its sovereignty in 1990 and adopted the name Republic of Buryatia in 1992. However, it remained an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation.

The head of the Republic is the Head (formerly President), who is elected by the voters of the republic for a four-year term. From 2004 to 2012 the head of Buryatia (along with all other heads of regions in Russia) was nominated directly by the Russian President.
Between 1991-2007, the President was Leonid Vasilyevich Potapov, who was elected on July 1, 1994, re-elected in 1998 (with 63.25% of votes), and then re-elected again on June 23, 2002 (with over 67% of votes). Prior to the elections, Potapov was the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic—the highest post at that time.
The current Head of the Republic is Alexey Tsydenov, who was elected by popular vote on 10 September 2017. Prior to this he was acting Head, having been appointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2017.
The Republic's parliament is the People's Khural, popularly elected every five years. The People's Khural has 66 deputies and is currently dominated by the country's ruling party, United Russia, with 45 seats. Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev has been Chairman of the People's Khural since August 2015.
The Republic's Constitution was adopted on February 22, 1994.
The republic's economy is composed of agricultural and commercial products including wheat, vegetables, potatoes, timber, leather, graphite, and textiles. Fishing, hunting, fur farming, sheep and cattle farming, mining, stock raising, engineering, and food processing are also important economic generators.
The higher education institutions of the republic include Buryat State University, Buryat State Academy of Agriculture, East Siberian State Academy of Arts and Culture, and East Siberia State University of Technology and Management.
Traditionally, Buryats adhered to belief systems which were based on the deification of nature, belief in spirits and the possibility of their magic influence on the surroundings. They were led by shamans, who systematized tribal beliefs and cults. From the second half of the 17th century, beliefs and cults in the shamanic form were displaced by Buddhism, which became widespread in ethnic Buryatia. By the end of the 19th century, the majority of Buryats were part of the Buddhist tradition. A synthesis of Buddhism and traditional beliefs that formed a system of ecological traditions has constituted a major attribute of Buryat culture.
As of a 2012 survey 27.4% of the population adheres to the Russian Orthodox Church, 19.8% to Buddhism, 2% to the Slavic Native Faith, Tengrism or Buryat shamanism, 4% declares to be unaffiliated Christian (excluding Protestants), 1% are Orthodox Christian believers without belonging to churches or are members of other Orthodox churches, 1% are members of Protestant churches. In addition, 25% of the population declares to be "spiritual but not religious", 13% to be atheist, and 10.8% follows another religion or did not give an answer to the survey.
Tibetan Buddhism and Orthodox Christianity are the most widespread religions in the republic. Many Slavs, who constitute around 67% of the population, are Russian Orthodox. Since the breakup of the USSR in 1991, a small number have converted to various Protestant denominations or to Rodnovery, Slavic native faith. There are also some Catholics among the Slavs. Most of the Germans (0.11% of the population) are also Orthodox, so are some other non-European groups like Armenians (0.23%), Georgians (0.03%), and Soyot (0.37%). Buryats constitute 30.04% of the total population.
Most urban Buryats are either Buddhist or Orthodox, while those in the rural areas often adhere to Yellow shamanism, a mixture of shamanism and Buddhism, or to Black shamanism. There are also Tengrist movements. Siberian Tatars are around 0.7% of the population. However, due to isolation from the main body of Tatars, many of them now are either non-religious or Orthodox. Islam is followed by immigrant groups like Azeris and Uzbeks, who constitute another 0.7% of the population.
Lake Baikal is a popular tourist destination, especially in summer.

In Worsening Recession, State Health Care Programs Suffer
Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
For many people, the constant flow of news about the end of the recession, rebound of the economy, along with the President's pledge to create new jobs through drizzle-down tax cut economics embo, seems like a bad joke. Not only are jobs not recovering, but the states which supply the basic safety net in hard times are cutting back their budgets. Within those budgets low income people who are searching for jobs while living day to day on food stamps, face growing health care problems.
The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, the Washington, DC-based think tank which tracks social programs, reports:
The worst recession since the 1930s has caused the steepest decline in state tax receipts on record. As a result, even after making very deep cuts, states continue to face large budget gaps. New shortfalls have opened up in the budgets of at least 41 states for the current fiscal year (FY 2010, which began July 1 in most states). In addition, initial indications are that states will face shortfalls as big as or bigger than they faced this year in the upcoming 2011 fiscal year. States will continue to struggle to find the revenue needed to support critical public services for a number of years.
New gaps in 2010 budgets: An increasing number of states are struggling to keep their 2010 budgets in balance as the mid-point of the fiscal year approaches. Because revenues have fallen short of projections, mid-year shortfalls have opened up in 41 states—some of which have already addressed them—totaling $35 billion or 6 percent of these budgets.
These new shortfalls are in addition to the gaps states closed when adopting their fiscal year 2010 budgets earlier this year. Counting both initial and mid-year shortfalls, 48 states have addressed or still face such shortfalls in their budgets for fiscal year 2010, totaling $194 billion or 28 percent of state budgets—the largest gaps on record.
The crimp in funds is forcing cutbacks in basic social services like health care in certain states. Kaiser Health News in conjunction with USA Today has run down some of these states:
The recession is forcing states such as Washington to pare back health insurance programs for low-income people, even as growing joblessness boosts demand for help. Five of six states that use state funds to assist adults not covered by Medicaid are considering cuts, barring new enrollment or raising fees.
The more than 250,000 people in the state programs are adults who don't qualify for the joint federal-state Medicaid program, either because they don't have children or earn more than the tight limits states impose on Medicaid eligibility. They represent a tiny fraction of people who get government health insurance, yet the state programs are often their sole option for coverage.
States facing serious problems, according to this article, include:
Washington: Basic Health—the first state-subsidized program of its kind when it began more than two decades ago—will fold by July unless lawmakers find $160 million in new revenue. About 300 people a day are added to its waiting list.
Tennessee: CoverTN, which subsidizes insurance for workers at certain small businesses and for adults earning less than $55,000 a year, halted new enrollment in December.
Connecticut: Charter Oak, which offers residents insurance for $93 to $296 a month on an income-based sliding scale, must freeze enrollment this year, Republican Gov. Jodi Rell says, unless lawmakers find more money.
Pennsylvania: The state's adultBasic will double fees for doctor visits in March to $10-$20 and add a $1,000 maximum annual charge for hospital care. The wait list more than doubled in 2009, from 165,318 to 353,301.

The Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal is a hospital in the Cartierville neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, bordering on Saint-Laurent.

It is one of the largest teaching hospitals affiliated with the Université de Montréal, and one of the largest hospitals in Quebec. It is one of only three hospitals in the province with a Level 1 Trauma Center.

History
In downtown Montreal on June 1, 1898, the day of the Feast of the Sacred Heart, a group of women founded a small hospital named Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal to care for a dozen ill individuals deemed the "incurables".

In 1902, the administration of the hospital was taken over by the Sisters of Providence, and a new building with 375 beds was built on Décarie Boulevard; it was known as Hôpital des Incurables. The building was destroyed by fire in March 1923, and in 1926 a new building was built on Gouin Boulevard in Cartierville, where it still stands today. With the new building, the administration reverted to using the original name, Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal.

The new hospital was initially focused on the treatment of tuberculosis. Considered a sanatorium, it became an important teaching hospital for pulmonary illness. In 1931, Édouard Samson founded the orthopedics department, which eventually became the largest institution for training orthopedic surgeons in the province of Quebec.

In 1973, the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal was affiliated with the Université de Montréal as its medical and health-sciences teaching hospital. The Albert-Prévost Institute merged with the hospital to form a centre for psychiatric patients.

Drug Rehab and Treatment Centers Information Balm, Florida
Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Balm, Florida?
There are many alcohol and drug treatment programs solutions to folks residing in the Balm area. It is very important understand all the varieties of rehab choices available in Balm, AB., to be able to choose the appropriate rehab approach for yourself or someone you care about. Choosing the proper drug rehab center in Balm is the central factor in the process of treating of substance abuse, addiction and alcoholism. The following information will help you to fully grasp your various treatment options allowing you to have the highest chance of an effective final result.
Let's take a look at the various drug treatment programs in Balm, Florida choices that coincide with the circumstances of the person searching for treatment.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Balm, AB. can be a rehab possibility ideal for those who will need health-related treatment during treatment or clients with considerable drug abuse histories. Women and men will experience physical and mental dependence to drugs even after a short period of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Balm is among the most effective treatment choice in nearly all cases. On account of substance abuse and addiction, people will usually struggle to make a full recovery using the limited solutions provided by outpatient treatment centers in Balm, Florida where drugs and alcohol continue to be readily available when they depart the outpatient facility. Likewise, people in rehabilitation who take part in outpatient rehabilitation rather than inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Balm remain prone to detrimental relationships and situations which may cut across their process of recovery. If an individual lives with an abusive partner or continues to maintain associations which entail drug abuse, any rehabilitation activities in outpatient rehab will be in vain. For this reason in-patient drug treatment in Balm, AB. will most certainly result in more beneficial results that may prove lasting as opposed to an outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program where benefits could be very limited and short-lived.
In Balm there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. Short-term is often a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Balm, Florida is much more intensive and rehabilitation can last 90-120 days generally speaking. This is an ideal setting for clients because it is a safe and secure drug-free environment where they're able to heal both physically and mentally without interruptions. Ideally, women and men will continue in the long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Balm for the optimum time period permitted, to enable them to deal with anything that might cut across their abstinence when they depart rehabilitation. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can take a couple weeks by itself, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug rehab in Balm will be time spent well and much more effective than short-term facilities.
The main component of all if you or someone you love has a substance abuse or addiction issue is to get it resolved right away, call someone and seek advice from trained addiction specialists and have an evaluation and rehabilitation options to ensure the greatest opportunity for a recovery.

In 2009, an estimated 21.8 million Americans aged 12 or older were current (past month) illicit drug users, meaning they had used an illicit drug during the month prior to the survey interview. This estimate represents 8.7 percent of the population aged 12 or older. Illicit drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used nonmedically.
Among the 2.5 million adults with both SMI and substance dependence or abuse (i.e., a substance use disorder) in 2008, more than half (60.5 percent) received mental health care or substance use treatment at a specialty facility; 11.4 percent received both mental health care and specialty substance use treatment, 45.2 percent received only mental health care, and 3.7 percent received only specialty substance use treatment.
Among adults aged 50 to 59, the rate of current illicit drug use increased from 2.7 to 4.6 percent between 2002 and 2008. For those aged 50 to 54, the rate increased from 3.4 percent in 2002 to 6.0 percent in 2006, then dropped to 4.3 percent in 2008, not significantly different from the rate in either 2002 or 2006. Among those aged 55 to 59, current illicit drug use showed an increase from 1.9 percent in 2002 to 5.0 percent in 2008. These patterns and trends may partially reflect the aging into these age groups of members of the baby boom cohort, whose rates of illicit drug use have been higher than those of older cohorts.

Healthcare Industry News: Esophageal Cancer
Devices Mergers & Acquisitions
PENTAX Medical Expands Interventional Endoscopy Offering with Acquisition of C2 Therapeutics
MONTVALE, N.J., Jan. 9, 2017 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- PENTAX Medical, a division of the HOYA Group, Tokyo, Japan announced today that they have acquired C2 Therapeutics, Redwood City, CA for an undisclosed amount. C2 Therapeutics develops the C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System for the endoscopic ablation of unwanted tissue such as Barrett's esophagus1. This acquisition will help strengthen the company's therapeutic endoscopy portfolio.
PENTAX Medical's Global Chief Marketing Officer, David Woods, states: "The C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System has the potential to improve the lives of millions of people around the world with pre-cancerous lesions of the esophagus." Barrett's esophagus and squamous dysplasia are both conditions in which the epithelial cells in the lining of the esophagus abnormally change to form "pre-cursor" lesions. If left untreated, these lesions can progress to Esophageal Cancer in some patients. The C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System provides the interventional endoscopist with a means to deliver a targeted dose of cryogen (extreme cold) to ablate these tissues immediately. Esophageal Cancer is the 6th leading cause of cancer deaths in the world2 with a five-year survival rate of 18%3 and is the fastest growing form of cancer in the United States4 today.
Woods continued: "In western cultures, obesity and high incident rates of Gastroesophageal Reflux disease (GERD) have contributed to the estimated 3.3 million5 people living with Barrett's esophagus in the United States. In eastern populations, the epidemiology is different, the prevalent disease is squamous dysplasia. An estimated 10 million6,7 people have squamous dysplasia in Asia and according to some studies over 50% of squamous dysplasia will lead to cancer7. We plan to continue working with thought leaders from around the world to further develop the C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System and commercialize the technology with clinically relevant strategies that meet the therapeutic and economic needs of these targeted patient populations."
For PENTAX Medical, this acquisition expands the company's role in the gastroenterology suites around the world from being a provider of advanced imaging for diagnostics, to now providing advanced therapeutic solutions as well. "Our investment in C2 Therapeutics is continued evidence of our commitment to bring best in class imaging along with cutting-edge technology that helps the therapeutic endoscopist access, visualize and treat disease while minimizing trauma and lowering the cost of healthcare," said Gerald W. Bottero, Global President, PENTAX Medical. "We will continue to make additional strategic investments in these areas in the future to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs."
Peter Garcia Meza, President of C2 Therapeutics said: "PENTAX Medical's investment will enable C2 to continue our work with clinicians in the field, build our body of evidence and develop the platform to its full potential."
George Triadafilopoulos, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine specializing in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Stanford University School of Medicine says, "Esophageal adenocarcinoma is on the rise in the West while squamous Esophageal Cancer remains rampant in Asia and Africa. Nevertheless, using various modern endoscopic high-resolution techniques we are increasingly recognizing early and potentially curable Esophageal Cancer. The use of the CryoBalloon™ (C2 Therapeutics, Redwood City, CA, USA) allows the endoscopist to noninvasively eradicate pre-cancerous esophageal dysplasia by freezing the abnormal tissue safely, comfortably and effectively. The technology uses an affordable and easy to use platform of a conformable and self-sizing balloon that can be used through the endoscope as a primary, curative therapy. The acquisition of C2 Therapeutics is poised to dramatically expand Pentax from an established diagnostic optical technology into a therapeutic one with a global impact."
US ONLY: The C2 CryoBalloon™ Ablation System is intended for use as a cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic applications, to include ablation of Barrett's Esophagus with dysplasia.
