Merle Vincent Griggs Tribute - WrestleCrap - The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling!
Even though it's been years since his death, it's still hard for me to believe that Merle Vincent Griggs is no longer with us.
Merle loved pro wrestling – in fact, he promoted the first and likely only NWA Indianapolis event, which featured such stars as Dan Severn, Buddy Landell, and many others. He even gave me the opportunity to work in the main event, managing Mad Man Pondo against New Jack. It was possibly the most horrifying night of my life!
A while after the NWA show, I was kicking around ideas for doing a website and came up with the concept for WrestleCrap. He said he'd love to work on it with me, and I was elated – Merle had an awesome mind for the business, and I knew that people would really get a kick out of reading what he had to say. Basically, though, we just started this stupid website to give our friends something to laugh about while they were waiting for Raw and Nitro (hey, remember that?) to come on the air on Monday nights.
Little did we know we would wind up with so many friends.
And that, to me, is the saddest part of Merle's passing – he never knew just how many friends he had, or how many people we made laugh. Sadder still was the fact that Merle was just 28 when he died.
At his wake, there were people of every race, every demographic. There were folks there that drove there in Mercedes, and there were folks that were quite literally homeless. There were all these people that he impacted in some way, and it was just mind-boggling to all of us that he was gone.
I think that Steve Hammer, a columnist who writes for the local Indy independent paper Nuvo may have said it best: "On a personal note, I can testify to the fact that there was nobody who met Merle who walked away disliking the man. Large in stature, he was also large in humor and generosity and all of us who knew him, even slightly, are the richer for it." You can read that whole article here.
Merle was a great man, and a great friend. I still miss him, and think about him every day.
And hope that I am doing him proud.
Alright, let's hear your take.

Although I lost interest in Wrestling quite a few years ago, I still come back and read this tribute almost every year… Great stuff.
I think he's proud of the juggernaut that the site has become.
I'm sure he's up in a better place and I'm sure he's happy about what the site has become and its large fanbase.
I've told R.D countless times that Merle would be very proud of all the work R.D has put into the site over the years and what he's done with it.
RD managing New Jack's opponent? I wish I seen RD going extreme in that match.
I remember getting some nice emails from Merle.
Yes, he'd be amazed to see what the site (14 years old!) has become.
Without Merle and R.D's hard work we wouldn't still be here 16 years later. Rest In Peace, Merle.
I miss Merle's contributions to the site a lot and I'm just glad we have it all in The Archives to still enjoy. I never knew or got to meet Merle but I'ms are he was just as great of a guy as R.D says.
You telling me my friend Merle's GONE? Huh? I mean, we… went to school together. SHORTRIDGE…DAMN.
a born Showman. I knew his mother, the lovely Miss J.T.Johnson /Griggs.
A painter in Indianapolis that had quite a following.
It was nice finding this and reading Reynolds story.

Chiropractic in a lifetime, family model can be a lot of fun. It can also bring some risks with it. This is especially true if you are taking care of children in situations where the family is experiencing separation, divorce, custody issues and any of the other numerous challenges families have.
Typically, consent to manage a minor is simple and straightforward: have the patient's parents sign an informed consent document allowing their minor child to be managed by you.
Now – is it OK to just have one parent's signature?
Most likely if the parents are married and there are no custody issue then having one parent's signature is fine. Would it be better to have both – of course. Use your imagination to think about situations that could arise where even though the parents are married and there are no custody issues that disagreements about health care could arise between the parents. It shouldn't take too much imagination to come up with some possible scenarios. We've seen plenty.
The point here is the risk to you. You do not want to be caught in the middle of marital disagreements surrounding the health care of children. So it is always best practices to get both parents' signatures on the consent.
Another issue that may arise is where there are custody issues due to separation, divorce or impending divorce. The only option here is to make sure you have consent from both parties unless a court or judge has ruled that one parent has the sole authority to make medical and health care decisions.
But you won't know if you don't ask. And we can tell many stories where one parent or the other didn't want the chiropractor to know that there were custody issues that included this type of nuance. You have to ask. If you don't – you put yourself at risk.
There is nothing more destructive than a parent who has been deceived and that wrath will be taken out on anyone involved – including you.
Another situation that arises is when a minor gets to driving age and no longer wants to come to the office with mom or dad but wants to come by themselves. That is not ordinarily a problem as long as you have additional consent to see the child without a parent or guardian present.
One piece of advice on this though – even if you have consent to see the child without the parents present, do not put yourself in a situation where you are ever alone with the child – male or female. Always have a chaperone present. If it comes down to who said or did what and there is no witness – you are going to be guilty until proven innocent.
Finally, the issue of guardians also comes up – can the parent give permission for a guardian to bring the child in for care? Or are there situations where a guardian has been appointed?
The parents would simply put the name of the guardian on the consent form. In the case of a guardian that has been appointed by the courts or a foster care situation – just make sure the guardian has the appropriate paperwork so its documented that they have the authority to make health care decisions for the child.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive review of consent issues related to minors but we covered the major ones. When faced with a unique situation on this always ask yourself if proceeding forward will put you in any risk and if so dig deeper before acting.
Check your paperwork and make sure you have all your consent forms lined up and if not check the members only section of the ChiroFutures website.


Discover a historic Hakka village and flourishing flora and fauna on a one-place, two-perspectives adventure with photographer Tugo Cheng.
Acclaimed Hong Kong-based fine art photographer and architect Tugo Cheng travels the world capturing the natural and cultural diversity of landscapes. While his work has earned Cheng widespread international recognition—including several nominations for National Geographic Photographer of the Year—the talented Hong Kong native welcomes opportunities to showcase off-the-beaten path natural areas of his hometown.
Recently, National Geographic launched Cheng on a two-for-one adventure in Hong Kong's Plover Cove Country Park. The pristine natural area shelters a centuries-old Hakka village, offering visitors the rare opportunity to experience both nature and culture in one easy hike. Through his photographs and insights, Cheng shares what makes Plover Cove Country Park a top spot for travelers who want to explore the wild side of Hong Kong.
Lai Chi Wo is one of the few Hakka villages that are still inhabited in Plover Cove.
While it is easily accessible via train and minibus, Plover Cove Country Park feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of urban Hong Kong. Located in northeastern Hong Kong, the park is a serene oasis where it's easy to unplug from the dizzying distractions of city life and tune into the relaxing sights and sounds of nature.
For Cheng, who seeks to inspire people through the images and messages conveyed through his art, Plover Cove is particularly appealing due to the preserved Hakka village hidden within the park.
Cheng encourages would-be hikers to learn more about Hakka culture before hiking in Plover Cove Country Park. Taking time to better understand the Hakka—widely thought to be largely northern Han Chinese who progressively migrated south beginning in 400 AD—will make the experience even more memorable and meaningful.
To explore Plover Cove Country Park on a half-day trip, Cheng recommends following the main, lower elevation route, which takes three-to-four hours and covers about four and a half miles. Ideal for families and people seeking a relatively level path, the moderate hike begins at the Bride's Pool Nature Trail and ends at the ferry stop at Lai Chi Wo, the Hakka village.
Prepare to capture a gallery of Instagrammable nature-scapes along the way, beginning with Bride's Pool and Mirror Pool waterfalls. Easily accessible from the trail, the crystal-clear cascades and their pools are two of the many rushing and rolling water features passed or crossed on the hike.
Bamboo jungles are a common sight in the verdant countryside of Plover Cove.
Butterfly hotspots abound in the great outdoors of Hong Kong.
There are more than 120 recorded species of dragonflies in Hong Kong. Hiking around Hong Kong's nature trails makes for a great way to see these winged insects in the wild.
To create a photo memory of the hike's natural wonders, Cheng suggests taking panoramic shots of towering mountain peaks and the Double Haven (Yan Chau Tong) Marine Park seen in the distance, as well as more detailed, close-up shots of the insects and other tiny wildlife living in the water and woods.
The second half of the hike is brimming with history, wildlife, and wide open spaces. Pass abandoned rice fields and terraces on your way to tiny Sam A (Cantonese for "trident") village, named for the three-pronged headland protruding into Sam A inlet.
Take a rest break at the village tea house, which on weekdays serves noodles and snacks, but on weekends and holidays offers hearty, home-style Hakka dishes (such as braised pork belly with pickled mustard greens).
From Sam A village, it's about a 45-minute hike to the walled village of Lai Chi Wo ("lychee cove"), Hong Kong's best-preserved Hakka settlement. Built some 400 years ago and protected within the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, the semi-abandoned village offers hikers a rare glimpse back into the preserved remnants of an early, affluent Hakka community.
The lush, wooded landscape of Plover Cove provides excellent shade for hikes in the summer.
One of the most extraordinary cultural treasures visitors discover at Lai Chi Wo is outside the village walls. Nestled behind the village is a lush feng shui woodland, thought to be one of the oldest remaining forested areas of its kind in Hong Kong. Found mainly on the slopes behind rural, Southern China villages, feng shui woods were preserved by early settlers who believed the vegetation would bring good fortune and offer protection. The Lai Chi Wo woodland features increasingly rare examples of Hong Kong's native low-elevation, broad-leaved forests.
Lai Chi Wo may be the final official stop on the hike, however, there are still wonders to behold. Mudflats and dense mangroves thrive in the tidal coastal areas between the land and the sea. Stop at the small shops next to the mangroves for a snack and drink, says Cheng, before continuing to the pier, where you can catch a ferry back to the city center.
The 90-minute ferry ride is one of Cheng's favorite parts of the Plover Cove Country Park experience, since it offers scenic coastal views—an unexpected bonus on a hike beginning in the hills and leading through verdant wooded areas.
The ferry crosses the Yan Chau Tong Marine Park and provides passengers an amazing view of Hong Kong's dramatic geological formations.
Guided Tours: Lai Chi Wo Hiking Tour leads you to the largest bed of Coastal Heritiera (Heritiera littoralis) in Hong Kong and the White-flower Derris which forms a 'natural swing' along the mangroves.
Where to Eat: In Sam A Village, visit the tea house owned by a Hakka couple who serve noodles, snacks and drinks daily, and Hakka snacks on weekends and public holidays.
Safety tips: Do not climb up the Bride's Pool waterfall or other slick, rock features due to the risk of falls. Avoid venturing inside abandoned Lai Chi Wo houses, which could have structural damage. For the latest updates on the hiking condition, visit the website of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department.
Photography Tips: The houses in Lai Chi Wo are arranged in nine horizontal and three vertical lanes. Capture the geometric lines of the lanes, the buildings, and the tiled roofs.


From refurbishment works such as replacing kitchens and bathrooms and upgrading windows and doors to maintenance such as roofing repairs, rewiring and heating system servicing, we can plan out any maintenance and help identify what works need doing in your building.
Planned Maintenance is a way of identifying internal and external repairs of blocks of flats and converted properties in advance. This is done through surveying the properties to identify and address issues and areas for repair. By using a planned maintenance programme the disruption can be kept to a minimum for lease and freeholders in the building.
We can provide a specification of works based on the results of our survey and this specification can then be sent to contractors for tender to get quotes for the costs of carrying out the works. As well as preparing the specification we can also survey the work and make sure it is carried out in line with the building specification.
Where extensive work may be required we can provide a 5 year planned maintenance programme to help building owners budget for future works more easily. This allows service charge projections to be calculated so that sinking funds can be accurately set up to even out those large payments for extensive building work.
At Samuels we have over 10 years' experience providing our customers with a top class service. We are RICS registered surveyors and valuers and offer a full range of services.
If you're looking for help setting up a planned maintenance programme for your building then get in touch with us today on 020 8973 2330 and we'll be happy to help.

PA2F Environmental Photography Prize celebrates biodiversity with one pic.
The peculiarity of a photograph to touch the soul is well known. The figurative semiotics has been studied over time, including any visual element as a representation of the world with correlated denotations and connotations. The photographer, being amateur or professional, can be considered a full-fledged communicator who can therefore affect the way of thinking up to mark an epochal turning point in some cases. The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (PA2F), created in June 2006 by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and strongly committed to boost an unprecedented relation with Nature on all scales through pioneering global projects and initiatives, is being launching a new intriguing edition of Prix de Photographie Environnementale (Environmental Photography Award). The open-air exhibit from the 1st June until the 29th June 2022, celebrating its second edition, is set in a new iconic location, the renewed Larvotto Beach putting on the spotlight thirty-six best photographic pieces of art with Mother Nature as the common ground.
"This second edition was marked by the participation of more than two thousand photographers from all over the world, with a good balance between amateurs and professionals. The best shots are shown in this brand new sea promenade that welcomes for the first time an exhibition", pointed out Olivier Wenden, Vice-President of Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

"Photo contests are essential because they allow us to give a voice to endangered creatures and habitats", Daisy Gilardini, president of the Jury and skilled conservation photographer.
"Photo contests are essential because they allow us to give a voice to endangered creatures and habitats. By their ability to reach a very large audience, they help to raise the awareness on a large scale. This year's photograph award contest is a striking illustration of the devastating anthropogenic consequences resulting from our consumer society. The duty of committed photographers is to stimulate emotions of the public to move them from apathy to action. That's exactly what this year's winning photo does", pointed out Daisy Gilardini, president of the Jury and skilled conservation photographer specialized in the Polar Regions.
"Pacific Red Sockeye" by Yung-Sen Wu, 1st classified in the category: "Life under the Surface" PA2F Environmental Photography Award (Larvotto Beach, Principality of Monaco, 7th June 2022) MAbbati © 2022
About two thousand photographers from all over the world have joined the photo contest sending their works through Photocrowd, a targeted digital platform active in the month of February 2022. After careful examination over a total of 8 thousand photos, the Technical Jury declared the winner of 2022 edition and the first classified contestants in the various categories: Humanity versus Nature, Towards a Sustainable Future, Polar Wonders, Life Under the Surface and Beneath the Canopy. "Tears" by Easa Muhammed Jamsith (Sri Lanka) captured the Jury's heart depicting a sad and disruptive image that shows, at the same time, the humanity of a living being. On the 5th January 2022, an elephant was about to die because of acute intestinal obstruction after eating plastic-contaminated food on an illegal landfill on the edge of the forest in Oluvil. The pain was so strong that the poor Himalayan creature could not get up and started crying. A powerful image that makes you think.
"Macro world!" by Panos Laskarakis, 2nd classified in the category: "Beneath the Canopy" - Environmental Photography Award (Larvotto Beach, Principality of Monaco, 7th June 2022) - MAbbati © 2022
'NET ZERO TRANSITION (II)' by Simone Tramonte (Italy), award-winning for the category 'Towards a Sustainable Future' highlights a true excellence of ecotechnology: H2orto, the largest hydroponic greenhouse in southern Europe, located in Ostellato (Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy). A. 31 hectares, totally fueled by LED lights where tomatoes grow organically throughout the year protected by external pollutants within a 100% circular economy circle. A leading case of environmentally friendly innovation towards a more conscious future.

The podium for the category 'Beneath the Canopy' goes to 'Glowworn' by Haikun Liang (China). The sinuous dance of thousands of fireflies in the Guandong forest by night makes this photo unique and "perfectly executed", as stated by Nick Danziger, member of the Jury, photojournalist, honorary member of the Royal Photographic Society and winner of the Ness Award by the Royal Geographical Society. In the category 'Polar Wonders', an amazing photo shoot in Port Charcot (Antarctica) by Kirstin Jones enhances the march of Gentoo penguins, considered as an endangered species, to reach their colony. This pic, taken on a grey, cold and wet day, reveals the the speed of the photographer in capturing the right moment. In an unexpected split second the three gentoo penguins are bravely climbing a rocky mountain to join their colony. Moreover, having only three penguins, odd number and synonym of 'perfection', helps to attract the visitor's eye.

Last but not least, the audience's 'coup de coeur' (favourite work) went to 'Black & Wild' by Mathieu Courdesses (wildlife photographer from France), for having been able to seize the right moment when a silvery-baked gorilla was showing off his chest in the wild forest of Rwanda (Africa). After a long walk on the trail of a gorilla's family, finally a tambouring sound and then the spotting of the oldest male, 'king' of the Volcanoes National Park. But to take the photo it was necessary his permission. The photographer made a loud noise from the very core of his vocal cords. Immediately after a grunt gave him the consent.
"Everybody sees beautiful pictures, but you need also to feel reality and reflect on the human impact on wild nature", Kathleen Richter, jury member photographer, animal lover and conservation advocate
"Photographers like me, constantly seeking for realistic photography, are in a position to approach environmental differences so that you can really shows things as they happen at that precise moment", Frederick Dharshie Wissah, jury member, award-winning environmental & humanitarian photojournalist and philanthropist.
"Last year, my photo 'Gorilla by the Water' was awarded as the photo of the year. It was really exciting since I had never received a grand prize for one of my photos before...unfortunately I had to follow the event online due to covid-19 restrictions but it was so interesting to have so many people impacted by your photography as for all participants this year", stressed at the press conference visit, Kathleen Richter, jury member photographer, animal lover and conservation advocate. "Everybody sees beautiful pictures all time but when we saw 'Tears' we thought 'Wow, this is the winning shot!', since there you can also feel the reality and reflect on the human impact on wild nature", she added. "I agree with Kathleen, every time I look at the poor elephant in the landfill I find new elements of the story", reaffirmed Frederick Dharshie Wissah, jury member, award-winning environmental & humanitarian photojournalist and philanthropist. "Photographers like me, who are constantly seeking for realistic photography, are in a position to approach environmental differences so that you can really shows things as they happen at that precise moment, something that enhances the visual narration and increase empathy in the understanding", he added.

"The photos sent this year gave me a very positive impression, offering a great variety of images with different cuts and photographic techniques", underlined Sergio Pitamitz, jury member, award winning wildlife and conservation photographer - "generally speaking, I noticed a particular sensitivity to the environment, including the award-winning photograph whose storytelling is able to convey a message and make people react, showing the photographer's ability to fully grasp the moment", "to be effective an image must include a story depicted through many elements that make understand what is happening notwithstanding the perfect aesthetic; via Social Media we are everyday bombed by amazing pictures, but very often useless. This open-air exhibit setting is then perfect to share the photographer's experience with anyone who passes by", he added.

The PA2F Environmental Photography Award is constantly underlining the importance of respecting the natural world which makes our Planet Earth awfully good in every single element. 'Hope' is then the key to envisage a future where climate change effects will be radically reduced and various ecosystems will become totally resilient. To do this the key is to be united. In fact, "it is up to each and every one of us to make this world, where we would coexist in a more responsible and prosperous way, possible. Now is the time for action", as reiterated by the prior target of the 2022 edition of this unique photo contest. ***

Chris here. This year has had so many breakthrough performances that you'd be hard pressed to whittle it down to five performers, but such is the pain of awards season. And yet one of the season's biggest prizes for new talents, BAFTA's Rising Star award, has just announced its five contenders for 2017 honors: Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out), Florence Pugh (Lady Macbeth), Josh O'Connor (God's Own Country), Tessa Thompson (Thor Ragnarok), and Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird).
This makes for a stellar lineup of headliners of Best Picture contenders in Chalamet and Kaluuya, indie darlings with Pugh and O'Connor, and the big budget superhero badassery of Thompson. The latter actress is a bit of a headscratcher here considering she's been a ferocious talent for years (and in lead roles!) in the likes of Dear White People and Creed, but we love her so much that we'll accept her placement if only to see her getting the love she deserves. This prize has been a boys club of late so my money is rooting for Pugh, such an emergent and invigorating new talent in the taxing Lady Macbeth.
Now you'd have to go back to Kristen Stewart's 2010 win to find a non-Brit winner of this prize, so consider this a statistical leg up for Pugh, O'Connor, and Kaluuya. But the past two winners (Tom Holland and John Boyega) also had the visibility of franchise weight behind them - could that spell some strong chances for Thor's Thompson? Or is this just another in a string of breakthrough prizes for Chalamet?
The full BAFTA nominees will be announced on Jan. 9!
Even at a quickly-paced 89 minutes, Lady Macbeth is unafraid to work slowly and dilligently. Based on Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District by Nikolai Reskov and directed by William Oldroyd, this is a meticulously made tale of sexual repression and desire. It follow Katherine (Florence Pugh), a young woman married off to a man twice her age. Caught in a loveless, sexless marriage, she plots a better life for herself and then ensures, by any means necessary, to achieve her goal.


Partially Buried in Three Parts (1996–97) is a multipart installation and video work that harnesses Robert Smithson's concepts of site and nonsite and the ruins of his earthwork Partially Buried Woodshed (1970) at Kent State University in Ohio as a means to examine public recollection, private memory, and site-specificity in a mobile and global world. Partially Buried, the first installment of Green's project, moves fluidly between eras, ideas, and images, appropriating given forms and sites to rearticulate their historical, social, and economic relations, especially as they touch on individual and collective memory.

Persistence and change in community composition of reef corals through present, past, and future climates.
The reduction in coral cover on many contemporary tropical reefs suggests a different set of coral community assemblages will dominate future reefs. To evaluate the capacity of reef corals to persist over various time scales, we examined coral community dynamics in contemporary, fossil, and simulated future coral reef ecosystems. Based on studies between 1987 and 2012 at two locations in the Caribbean, and between 1981 and 2013 at five locations in the Indo-Pacific, we show that many coral genera declined in abundance, some showed no change in abundance, and a few coral genera increased in abundance. Whether the abundance of a genus declined, increased, or was conserved, was independent of coral family. An analysis of fossil-reef communities in the Caribbean revealed changes in numerical dominance and relative abundances of coral genera, and demonstrated that neither dominance nor taxon was associated with persistence. As coral family was a poor predictor of performance on contemporary reefs, a trait-based, dynamic, multi-patch model was developed to explore the phenotypic basis of ecological performance in a warmer future. Sensitivity analyses revealed that upon exposure to thermal stress, thermal tolerance, growth rate, and longevity were the most important predictors of coral persistence. Together, our results underscore the high variation in the rates and direction of change in coral abundances on contemporary and fossil reefs. Given this variation, it remains possible that coral reefs will be populated by a subset of the present coral fauna in a future that is warmer than the recent past.

Antibiotics Cut COPD Exacerbation Tx Failures
By Lizzy on February 26, 2020
Antibiotic therapy was associated with significantly reduced treatment failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients experiencing mild exacerbations, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis.
In 68 randomized controlled trials of patients with moderate to severe exacerbations, antibiotics and systemic corticosteroids were associated with improved symptoms and less treatment failure versus placebo or management without antibiotics.
Specifically, antibiotics given for 3- to 14-days were associated with increased exacerbation resolution (odds ratio 2.03, 95% CI 1.47-2.80, moderate strength of evidence [SOE]) and less treatment failure (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.34-0.86, moderate SOE), and these findings were independent of exacerbation severity or treatment as outpatient or inpatient, reported Claudia C. Dobler, MD, PhD, of the Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in Annals of Internal Medicine.
The findings support an earlier systematic review conducted to inform the most recent European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society joint guidelines, which found antibiotics to be beneficial in the treatment of COPD exacerbations.
But the new analysis includes three additional trials that had outpatients with mild to moderate exacerbations.
In an interview with MedPage Today, co-author Michael E. Wilson, MD, also of the Mayo Clinic, noted that in clinical practice, antibiotics are often not given to patients with mild exacerbations unless they have symptoms, such as high sputum production or frequent cough.
"If patients are not experiencing these symptoms [clinicians] may be inclined to manage exacerbations with steroids and bronchodilator without antibiotics," he said. "This review would suggest that patients with mild, as well as moderate and severe, exacerbations may benefit from treatment with antibiotics even if they don't have these symptoms."
The randomized trials included in the analysis evaluated exacerbation drug therapies among COPD patients treated as outpatients or who were hospitalized outside of ICUs. The analysis compared various drug treatments with placebo, usual care, or other pharmacologic interventions.
The authors reported that systemic corticosteroids given for 9 to 56 days were associated with less treatment failure (OR 0.01, 95% CI 0.00-0.13, low SOE). Treatment with systemic corticosteroids was associated with a higher number of total and endocrine-related adverse events (AEs) versus placebo.
There was insufficient evidence showing either no effect or inconclusive effects or improvement in lung function for other drug interventions examined, including aminophylline, magnesium sulfate, anti-inflammatory agents, inhaled corticosteroids, and short-acting bronchodilators.
Three studies that compared outcomes with short- and longer duration systemic corticosteroid treatment (3 vs 10 days; 5 vs 14 days; and 2 vs 8 weeks), failed to show better improvement in exacerbation outcomes with the longer treatment regimens.
"The results are similar to those of previous systematic reviews and support the use of shorter regimens of systemic corticosteroids," the researchers wrote.
A single 2017 study included in the analysis compared inhaled corticosteroids to systemic corticosteroids for COPD exacerbations, finding inhaled corticosteroids to be noninferior to systemic treatment for clinically meaningful outcomes.
"Systemic steroids are a mainstay of treatment, but they are also associated with a lot of adverse events," Wilson said, adding that the single-study findings are intriguing and merit further study.
The analysis of studies examining treatment with aminophyllines showed no improvements in effectiveness outcomes, but it did show an increase in gastrointestinal AEs associated with the treatment.
"These updated findings support the results of a Cochrane systematic review published in 2003," the authors wrote. "Magnesium sulfate, erdosteine, simvastatin and zileuton, which showed improved FEV1, need to be assessed in large, high-quality randomized clinical trials with clinical outcomes."
Study limitations included the inclusion of only a single trial or two trials for certain drug interventions, "which limits inference from the quantitative synthesis," as well as the exclusion of trials that were published in languages other than English. And the exclusion of patients receiving treatment in ICUs means the findings may not be easily extrapolated to the sickest patients, they stated.
The researchers mentioned several ongoing randomized trials that could inform the treatment of COPD exacerbations, including "a study comparing low- and high-dose corticosteroids (NCT02294734, recruiting), a study comparing 3 versus 5 days of oral corticosteroids (NCT04075331, recruiting), and studies comparing biological therapies with placebo or usual care (NCT04098718 and NCT04075331, not yet recruiting)."
"Our review found a lack of good-quality, reliable evidence to answer many of the important clinical questions surrounding treatment of patients with exacerbation of COPD," they concluded. "Future studies should focus on high-quality study design and patient-centered outcomes — particularly clinical resolution of exacerbation and risk for repeated exacerbation, rather than lung function measurements."
The study was supported by the Agency for Heathcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
Dobler and Wilson disclosed no relevant relationships with industry. Co-authors disclosed support from AHRQ.

PR Redefined
Posted by Peter Himler	on Nov 21, 2011	in PCNY, PR Defined, PRSA, Stuart Elliott	| 2 Comments
Over the weekend, I received an email from Keith Trivitt who (literally) manages PR for PR's sake. He's the in-house communications pro for PRSA, the industry's trade association. Keith tipped me off to a new campaign by the organization that hopes to "modernize" the definition of public relations in a world where social media has changed everything. It seeks to accomplish this (no small undertaking) through crowdsourcing, a new logo and umbrella theme.
One of most venerable chronclers of the ad/marketing industry, who periodically acknowledges the PR profession in his column, took the opportunity to do so today. Stuart Elliott of The New York Times wrote:
The New York Times's Stuart Elliott
"The effort, of course, has a catchy name, Public Relations Defined, and a logo, too, that proclaims its goal: "A modern definition for the new era of public relations." The effort is being spurred by the profound changes in public relations since the last time the organization updated its definition, in 1982."
BTW — You can catch Stuart — if jury duty doesn't sidetrack him — along with four other influential ad/marketing reporters editors at our next PCNY lunch Dec 12 in NYC. (But I shamelessly digress.)
The trade association is not alone in scrutinizing how the profession see itself and is seen by others for its future sustainability. MWW's Michael Kempner posted today on his blog about the need to inculcate college students:
MWW's Michael Kempner
"We spend so much of our time… and rightly so… helping clients brand themselves for future employees, we often forget to do the same for ourselves. Yet, PR firms offer among the best places to work for those searching for creative, collaborative work environments on the cutting edge of technology and trends. We need to do a better job as an industry of merchandising the field for graduates if we are going to compete for the top young talent and ensure the future of our profession."
And the other week at PR Week's NeXT conference, we watched the leadership of Ketchum, Edelman and Golin Harris paint a most promising picture of our industry's future in spite of the absence of a clear and consistent definition for what we do.
Since I'm fond of the PRSA team and appreciate their earnestness here — sorry Jack — I did write Keith back to offer my two cents on what currently ails the profession:
It's a question to which I've given considerable thought, especially nowadays as practitioners grow increasingly frustrated by unanswered emails to journalists and ineffective direct-to-constituency communications, two-way included.
One PR pro recently summed up the disruption of the engagement game: "it's a buyer's market," meaning that those you're hoping to engage have a myriad other credible sources for story ideas or actionable information. We're simply no longer serve or are perceived as the primary bearers of timely, accurate and actionable information. Google, Twitter and Facebook have seen to that.
Hence, as I see it, the challenge for the PR industry lies less in redefining what we call or how we define ourselves, and more in regaining that lost authority we once held as the most trusted and informed sources for our clients' news and point-of-views to both journalists and end-stakeholders. After all, we're still closest to the real newsmakers.
If you do want to weigh in with a new definition, here's the submission form to make it easy.
Is it me or has the majority of the PR world decided that "PR" is only about social media these days? Those of us workimg in industrial and B2B still see the print media as very important as well as physical human-to-human interactions I reallty hope these "real worlkd" things don't get totally forgotten whilst everyone is busy trying to figure out "what PR has now become"!

Nice post Peter.
I think it's a great initiative by the PRSA, but I also agree with your own, and Ian's comment below that PR also needs to identify how, in this world of rapidly evolving media and communications, it can regain authority and become increasingly effective.
I think that by focusing on how to make PR more effective in an era of new media the scope and role of PR across business will accordingly grow, and in turn lead us to the ideal definition and practice of PR that we seek.
Thanks, Jamie

Sudocrem (   ) is an over-the-counter medicated cream aimed primarily at the treatment of nappy rash. It contains a water-repellent base (consisting of oils/waxes); protective and emollient agents; antibacterial and antifungal agents; and a weak anesthetic. As well as nappy rash, it can also be used to treat eczema, bedsores, minor burns, surface wounds, sunburn and chilblains. It was manufactured by pharmaceutical company Forest Laboratories Europe up until July 2014 when the company was acquired by, and combined with, Actavis plc. On , Actavis completed the acquisition of Allergan, creating a $23 billion diversified global pharmaceutical company.

In Belgium, the product is sold under the brand "Dermocrem". The Netherlands was the first country Sudocrem was sold in outside Ireland and the UK.

History

Sudocrem was developed in 1931 by Dublin-based pharmacist Thomas Smith. It was originally called "Smith's Cream", later "Soothing Cream". The name changed to Sudocrem in 1950 due to the Dublin accent pronunciation of soothing cream. During the 1960s, samples of Sudocrem that were given to new mothers in Ireland increased the popularity of the product and the brand was gradually introduced to the UK in the 1970s. Its makers claim it to be the leading nappy rash cream in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. Sudocrem is still manufactured in Dublin, in the suburb of Baldoyle. A 2012 Irish Independent article said: "Sudocrem is the spuds and bacon of skincare creams, the Guinness of gentle nappy rash reliefs and the Tayto of topical ointments," following reports in both Irish and UK media celebrities were using the product to treat acne. There are now three Sudocrem branded products available in the UK: the original antiseptic healing cream, Sudocrem Care and Protect which is a nappy rash preventative  and Sudocrem Skin Care Cream which is an everyday acne cream aimed at the youth market.

Sudocrem's parent company Teva announced in May 2021 that is planning to close the Baldoyle plant and move production to Acatvis' Bulgarian plant in Troyan in 2023. Teva said that reason for the closure was due to the growing international popularity of the cream, and the inability to make the site of the Baldoyle factory bigger to cope with the rising demand.

Architektura indyjska – tradycja architektoniczna rozwijana na subkontynencie indyjskim od kilku tysięcy lat, posiadająca liczne odmiany regionalne.

Architektura Mohendżo Daro i Harappy
Wczesne cywilizacje znane z wykopalisk wykazują wysoki poziom planowania urbanistycznego i techniki.
Trudno ocenić jednoznacznie stopień ciągłości budownictwa pomiędzy tymi kulturami a kulturą okresu wedyjskiego.

Styl północny
Na Północy wykształcił się stopniowo styl budownictwa świątynnego, charakteryzujący się wyniosłymi śikharami.

Styl południowy
W niezależnych królestwach Południowych Indii wykształciły się odrębne style widoczne przede wszystkim w architekturze sakralnej, z charakterystycznymi wieżami bramnymi (gopurami).

Styl Hojsalów
Południowo-indyjska dynastia Hojsala zapisała się w historii sztuki dzięki stworzeniu odrębnego stylu w architekturze świątynnej, zwanego stylem Hojsalów. Świątynie na planie gwiazdy posiadają wiele tzw. sanktuariów pokrytych niezależnym dachem w kształcie piramidy. Ściany zewnętrzne pokryte są w całości rzeźbami.

Architektura buddyjska w Indiach
Wczesna architektura buddyjska, oprócz wolnostojących stup, odznaczała się budowaniem, a właściwie wykuwaniem w skale klasztorów. Wyróżnia się wśród nich dwa podstawowe typy: ćajtja i wihara.

Architektura mogolska
Najazdy muzułmańskie przyniosły z jednej strony wielkie zniszczenia, zwłaszcza budowli sakralnych, a z drugiej nowe wpływy, które w połączeniu z rodzimymi tradycjami zaowocowały stworzeniem symbiozy w architekturze, określanej mianem stylu indo-saraceńskiego.

Tzw. "indo-saraceński gotyk"
W dziewiętnastym wieku architekci brytyjscy próbowali twórczo połączyć wiktoriański neogotyk z zastanymi w Indiach tradycjami monumentalnego budownictwa indo-saraceńskiego.

Fixing the North Korean nuclear problem is going to be difficult when two of the key players are sure they're about to be screwed over.
BEIJING — The theory goes like this: Parts of the US government — nobody is quite sure which parts, but parts nonetheless — have no desire for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. They love North Korea's nuclear weapons, the theory goes, because it provides a convenient excuse for the US to keep military assets in South Korea and Japan.
This might sound crazy if you're in the US. US leaders from Bill Clinton, to George W. Bush, to Barack Obama have spent decades trying to persuade North Korea to give up its banned nuclear and ballistic missiles programs through endless rounds of talks and sanctions.
But in China, where suspicions of US motives in the region run deep and there is little faith in government transparency, the theory has been judged plausible by everyone from casual news consumers to journalists and academics with influence on North Korea policy.
That lack of trust underscores a key challenge for a new administration as it contends with an increasingly confident and aggressive North Korea. President Donald Trump has made clear he believes China has the power to shape North Korea's behavior. But the festering mistrust between Washington and Beijing may prove to be a major obstacle to the two countries effectively working together to pressure Pyongyang.
The theory that the US is secretly rooting for Pyongyang's nuclear program isn't a mainstream viewpoint, according to Chinese journalists and academics. But the belief that the US approaches North Korea policy with a hidden motive — the containment of China — has become widely accepted in Chinese policymaking circles.
It isn't just China coming up with theories that leave the other side of the negotiating table baffled. The Chinese thinkers interviewed for this story pointed out that the US has its own theories about China's point of view on North Korea that appear ridiculous to them. For instance, most Chinese scholars believe the collapse of the North Korean regime is extremely unlikely, and China bristles at the suggestion by many in the US — including Trump — that China could engineer the collapse of the North Korean government as easily as flicking a light switch.
Over the past few weeks, though, the divide has taken on a heightened importance. Chinese questions about the motives of the US have resurfaced as the US deployed parts of an advanced missile defense system called the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) to South Korea, a move that has incensed China. Beijing sees THAAD as an escalatory move by the US that does little to curb the North Korean nuclear program — but many Chinese policymakers think it could potentially help contain China.
But Trump sees China as a key lever in facing down North Korea's nuclear ambitions. During the campaign, he said China had "total control" over North Korea, and that the US should make trade "very difficult" for China if it didn't solve the problem. More recently, in a tweet in January, he criticized China, claiming the country took wealth from the US but wasn't being helpful on the North Korea issue.
China does hold significant leverage over North Korea as its last major ally and most important trading partner. It says it has fully implemented each round of UN sanctions, which it not only declined to veto but voted in favor of, and it cut off coal imports from North Korea last month after Pyongyang carried out a ballistic missile test. But critics say China has not done enough to enforce the sanctions it has signed on to.
Outright accusing the US of secretly tolerating, or even encouraging, North Korea's nuclear program is considered taboo for academics and policymakers writing publicly, said a Chinese state media editor who focuses on international affairs.
Last week, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi likened the US and North Korea to two trains accelerating on a collision course.
Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions may prove to be one of the defining challenges of the Trump administration. Several rounds of international sanctions, including US banking sanctions that crippled North Korea's most important foreign exchange bank and curbs on the country's all-important coal exports, have failed to convince North Korea to stop pursuing its nuclear program.
"There's some kind of mirror imaging here on both sides, with these deep wells of mistrust," he added.


As far as I am concerned, there is no difference between the plight of people's neglected "pet" or the plight of the farm animals that we as a society have decided to use as food. It is only our society and industry that has decided that we should use for food the animals that we do. There are some cultures that eat cats and dogs, there are others where the cow is a sacred animal, and our "civilised" western society has decided to use cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. So which is wrong? Not knowing the answer, I made the decision that all living beings deserve our respect, and as such, shouldn't be eaten when there are heaps of alternatives available.
Now I have decided to use this wonderful medium called the internet to post thoughts and feelings on all sort of things.
Some people may think that I am ranting and have extremist views. Though the same thing can be said for just about everyone out there.
My reasons for becoming Vegan started in late, 1993.
I was 20, turning 21. I had started going to a local chiropractor after a friend told me how good he felt after going to see one. So I thought that I would make an appointment myself to see what all the fuss was about.
At the first visit I was told about how my body works with all it's nerves & muscles, etc and that the spinal column is a vital part of that network. Having a bad spine can lead to all sorts of other things going hay-wire too.
After about the 3rd or 4th visit, I was told about a short talk that the Chiropractor puts on for his new patients, and that it may answer any questions that I may have.
I attended this little talk, and found out some even more interesting things about the way that my body functions, etc. It was at this talk, that the Chiropractor used the sports car analogy. That went something like this.., you decided to buy a $100,000.00 Ferrari, are you going to put any old fuel into it or are you going to use the very best that there is? Our body is even more expensive and precision made that any Ferrari, so why eat any old crap as fuel?
At the end of this little talk, he gave us all some home work, and that was to read a book called "Fit for Life", if we were honestly serious about taking the best care of our bodies that we possibly could. Wanting to know more about this new way of eating and things like that, I decided to go and buy this book, and see what it was all about.
I started reading "Fit for Life", and at the start of it, I was very sceptical, and started to think that it was another one of those quackery books and things like that. Anyway, I persevered and finished the book. When I was about halfway through, a strange thing started to happen. What the authors were writing about started to make sense. Even before I had finished reading the book, I made the decision to become a vegan.
For me it was a right here, right now decision. There was no waiting until the next time that I went shopping, or when the fridge and freezer were empty. It happened as soon as I made that choice. The very next day, I cleaned out my fridge and freezer, and gave all the meat and eggs and crap like that to someone else that wanted it.
Let me tell you this, going vegan was the easy bit. Staying vegan for the first few months was the hard part. For me staying vegan was the hardest part. My circle of friends didn't understand why I was doing this. My family had no idea why either. My mother, when I told her that I had become vegan, asked me if I had joined some sort of religious cult or something like that. Back in those days the only vegan that I knew was a teacher from trade school. He told me that he had been vegan for 10-15 years. Let me tell you that he was one of the fittest people that I have ever met in my life.
I started to read more into veganism, and why some things that society did, didn't seem to sit right with me. This was about the time that I started looking more into the animal rights issue. This happened about the same time that I was befriended by a wonderful black Labrador, sitting outside talking to him one day, I came to realise that I would protect him from harm as much as I could, so why didn't I have the same views for other animals.


It's a busy morning at work and the schedule is full. IV pumps keep alarming and the phone never stops ringing. Eventually it's lunchtime. Besides food, I crave a half hour of quiet.
While eating lunch in the staff lounge, I read an article in our local paper about a new Oregon law requiring farmers selling eggs to make changes in how their chickens are raised by 2026. Another nurse, also on her lunch break, chats animatedly on her cell phone. The lounge is small, affording neither of us privacy. To me, a break is a time for quiet. For her it's for socializing and catching up with the people she loves. People are wired differently, and neither of us is wrong. At least we have a nice place to sit and eat our lunches, even if the room is small.
The article I'm reading says the changes egg farmers must make under the new law include increasing the personal space of each chicken from 67 square inches to 116.3 square inches, which means less chickens per cage, therefore less eggs. Opponents of the law argue that a dozen eggs may cost $8 in order for the farmers to make a profit once all the changes go into effect.
As on egg farms, space is at a premium in hospitals too. Not only for patient beds, but also for storing equipment needed to care for patients (big things like ventilators and wheel chairs), examination and procedure rooms, storage of office supplies…it goes on and on. Nurses' break rooms do not earn revenue, just like increased personal space for chickens means less profit for the egg farmer who employs people trying to make a living. Perhaps happier chickens lay more eggs than crowded ones; I don't know very much about chickens.
But I do know a little about nurses. We work in tight spaces under intense circumstances. Sometimes we gather to vent or laugh a little at the nurse's station. Often, we get too loud. It's not right, but it's human. Maybe we need more personal space too.
Maybe dampening the sound of voices with three-quarter Plexiglas partitions at the nurses' station is an option. I saw this in a hospital in California, where my father was a patient. Initially, I was put off that I couldn't talk to a nurse at the desk. However, if I called for a nurse from his room, someone answered my call within minutes every time. Because I was in his room, and not wandering the halls looking for a nurse, I had no idea what occurred in other patient rooms. Privacy prevailed. Partitions make sense when discussing patient information over the phone. Patients and their families wouldn't hear that either.
Plexiglas partitions are not a good idea in an ICU, where they might block rapid response to a patient's critical turn of events. An effective alternative I've seen is a small alcove where a nurse can sit with a direct view of patient and monitors when not administering care. Every two rooms shared an alcove containing a computer and two phones. This discourages nurses from congregating at the nurses' station, and perhaps lessens the risk of falling prey to alarm fatigue.
Nurses often need reminders to quiet down in patient care areas, but thoughtful workspace design and consideration of a nurse's personal space may offer a more consistent solution.
Reluctantly, I sit at my computer writing this post. Tomorrow I will spend eight hours at a training computer learning the electronic medical record system, Epic. The following day, I will spend another eight hours doing the same thing. I previously posted that our hospital converted from paper charts to EMR last week while I was on medical leave. I am making up the classes that my colleagues took last month. Although I'm not thrilled about spending so much time at a computer, I am looking forward to participating in patient care again.
I provided precious little help to my coworkers during the two shifts I worked last week, since besides having limits on lifting, I won't have a computer sign on until I complete the two classes mentioned above. Instead, I spent much of my time following coworkers who kindly taught me as much as they could about Epic in a live patient care setting.
The hardest thing about those two shifts was my feeling of incompetence, because nothing in our unit operates the way it did before EMR. I can't even open a patient's chart, look up the name of their doctor, or find an order without a sign on. I'm used to being nursing muscle, not a helpless bystander. I felt uncomfortable, and I have to admit, mildly anxious.
The funny thing was, because Epic is still so new, my coworkers are struggling too. In that way, we remain on level ground, although at least they can access charts, and record the care they gave. However, I could see how learning to navigate the new system slows them down. One way that I helped was to listen thoughtfully as they described the frustrations of providing patient care while simultaneously learning a new system. I let them vent, and I learned from their experiences.
Week by week, things will improve. I hope so, because EMR isn't going away.
Did I mention that despite all of the controlled chaos at work, I brought a cake to work for my coworkers on my first day back? And that one of them found time to bring in flowers for me?
Remember: be nice to one another.
Hospitals are not known for their fragrance, and recent shifts in particular have lacked delicate bouquet. It comes with the territory, and if I wanted a perfumed environment, I should have chosen a profession that doesn't include the collection and measurement of body fluids. People with sensitive stomachs should think twice before becoming nurses. Whining about poop and vomit belongs in the "Well What Were You Thinking It Would be Like?" file.
If you require regular and predictable hours for happiness, nursing is not the career for you either. Shifts are unexpectedly extended because of late admissions, acute changes in patient conditions (read EMERGENCIES!!!), short staffing, etc. In the past weeks, I have left work late for these reasons. Poop, vomit, EMERGENCY! I'm not complaining. This is what I am educated to do. I am proud to be a nurse with the necessary skills to lead patients through their dark moments.
Recently, I came home from a particularly long, smelly shift to find a UPS slip stuck to my door, informing me that a package required my signature IN-PERSON for delivery. The package was my birthday gift from David. I worked the following few days, so I called the UPS customer service number and arranged package pick-up. There was enough time left to pick up the package that evening. Since the gift was from David, he wanted to go get it, even though he'd also worked a longer than expected shift that day. We changed out of our smelly work clothes, and hopped into the car to get the package.
Traffic was horrendous. It was raining, and getting dark. I told David it wasn't important; we could pick up the package the next day, but he was on a mission. When we finally arrived, it was twenty minutes past the office's closing time. Surprisingly, the light was on, and the door unlocked. A smiling woman stood at the counter, holding my package. "Are you Paradisi?" she asked. "Yes, I am. Are you waiting for me?" "Yes," the woman said. "I didn't want you to drive all this way and find us closed, not in the traffic and weather." She extended her shift to take care of me, as I had done during my shift to take care of someone else. It is the essence of excellent customer service: the fragrance of caring, and the gift of time.
You know how when you were in nursing school reading about pathology, and you thought you had symptoms of every disease you studied? You knew you weren't really sick, but still…it gave you pause. This common phenomenon is called hypochondriasis of medical students, or nosophobia.
Well, I kinda had déjà vu of that last week.
It began with an innocent enough tweet from the American Journal of Nursing. The tweet read: AmJNurs AJN Got to get this book! RT @sciam: MIND Reviews: Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things http://bit.ly/h6zax9 (emphasis mine).
To the right of the desk where I am writing this post, sits a pile of stuff. The pile of stuff is made of washed, empty yogurt containers, flat, plastic lids, old bed sheets, pages torn from magazines, glass jars of varying sizes, and the disembodied heads, arms, and legs of dolls. And that's just the stuff I can see sitting here at my desk, without actually going through the pile. I mention this to David, who says, "Yeah, everyday I want to throw this stuff out, but I remind myself it's Julianna's stuff, not mine." I had no idea. OH SNAP! I am a compulsive hoarder!
Well, not really. I am an artist. This pile of stuff is awaiting transfer to my studio, where the real hoarding takes place. Unlike the homes of pathological hoarders, however, my studio lacks floor to ceiling piles of accumulated stuff and "goat paths." The containers, lids, jars, sheets, and doll parts are stored in their respective places. They also have purpose. The containers and lids are recycled into paint holders and palettes. The sheets are torn into rags, a necessary artist's tool. The jars hold dirty brushes and solvent. The magazine pages are pasted into scrapbooks of images. The doll heads and limbs…well, you'll find out later.
Anyway, I read the article linked in the tweet above, and am relieved to know I am not a pathological hoarder. Still, I think I'll clean out a cupboard or something after I post this piece.

USB-C – Its very new!
I am an Apple Fan Boy, this website really should be called Apple Geek Boy, not Gadget Geek Boy however, there is something about Apple's products that amazes me. From one piece aluminum bodies to the way the magic mouse works, everything seems so genius!
I'm a big fan of portability, I travel a lot for my main job, whether its catching the East Midlands Train service down to St Pancras or flying off somewhere with British Airways, I like to have technology around with me and the smaller the better.
I opted for the smaller iPhone 6, the iPad Mini (but with 128gb of space) and I've always had Macbook Air's, either 11″ or the 13″ version, I was warned off the latter due to it not being powerful enough to run Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, but never once has it let me down.
Its small and light, its gold and its small and light… Yes I repeated that but this makes my Macbook Air 11″ look like a bloody elephant, and a fat one at that! We have two models to play with, both have the same specification of 1.2ghz Processor, 8gb RAM, 512gb SSD Hard Drive and Intel HD Graphics.
They keyboard is impressive and takes a lot of getting used to, they travel half the distance down of the standard apple keyboards. Apple had to rethink the whole Apple keyboard just to make this Macbook the size it is, using a butterfly mechanism. The keys are much closer together, yet the actual key sizes are larger than current MacBook's by 17% and each key is individually lit by LED.
The screen itself is Retina, something that isn't available on the MacBook Air, its clear, really clear, with my eyes millimetres away, I really can't see any pixels. 2304 x 1440 on a 12″ screen, it really is magical and I can't get over the quality of the screen.
Then there is the new addition, the Force Trackpad – the only way I can describe this new feature, is a two level system. On the conventional trackpad, the trackpad is hinged at the top, so when you press down it clicks. The top of the trackpad, always feels different to the bottom. You really don't get this on the new MacBook, and it notices how forceful you can be. There are two clicks by pushing further down, ideal for setting up shortcuts but I've left this on the default of Quick Look, etc.
Now the downside to this tiny machine is the One Port issue! And now its also USB-C, all of those MagSafe MacBook chargers I have lying around and threaded through desks are redundant to the new system. Not only that but gone are the days where I can have my USB drive permanently plugged in, well I can but now it requires a new adapter.
I have ordered a few adapters, but they aren't cheap. I have a charger for home and one for the office, then I've got a multiport HDMI adapter that lets me charge, plug in a USB device and display my desktop on a monitor, but at £65 this is expensive. Another accessory that is now going to end up in the trash is my Thunderbolt 2 hub, I do hope Belkin bring out something similar.
The MacBook lasts a long time, I can hit the office just after 9am and its still going by 3pm, its quiet (of course its fanless) it gets slightly warm and runs most apps ok. I have used it for Adobe InDesign, but nothing else major.
I have downloaded photos from a Nikon D700 SLR Camera and edited them with Lightroom and exported them back out, still no issues. However, it has frozen once or twice when using AirDisplay to show off some websites in a meeting, no matter what I did to it, I just could not get it to fire back up.
Then for some reason, when the MacBook has been to sleep, for the life of me, I cannot get a website up despite it saying I am connected to the WiFi, it takes a good few minutes to reach anything. I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
Apart from that, this MacBook is a little gem! I bloody love it and will be using it on a daily basis in the office and alongside my iMac 27″ Retina. Did I forget to tell you that you can buy this in Gold, Silver or Space Grey? Not seen the latter but I was very tempted, I opted for Gold to match my iPhone 6.
Not many accessories out their at the moment, USB-C is pretty new into the market. I'd like to see some docks, something where I can hit the office, hard wired into the Gigabit Network, Display and a few USB bits – USB-C Accessories currently available.
I would also like to see a few more cases, we've opted for Snugg™ MacBook cases and the 19twenty8 Macbook cases the latter being my favourite as its thin light and feels really good quality, plus it looks great. However the Snugg™ case fits much better.
Only other things are of course an iPhone for tethering and handoff features and a few accessories.
Nope, this wasn't a demo unit! My trusty old MacBook Air was traded in and this gold version was purchased by myself from KRCS in Nottingham. Review written just for the sheer pleasure and no monies or discounts have happened. But, just to be upfront and honest… If you click on one of the links on this page, it may throw us a bit of commission.

Home Sports Soccer Bundesliga Week 4 Soccer Round Up 2015 Recap
Bundesliga Week 4 Soccer Round Up 2015 Recap
Luka Alario
The fourth week of the Bundesliga kicked off with a 3-0 win by last season's relegation strugglers Hamburg SV over last term's high flyers Borussia Monchengladbach, who will soon be starting their Champions League campaign.
Lucien Favre's side are enduring a torrid time in the league this season as they have lost all four of their games, while conceding 11 goals in the process. As a consequence, they sit bottom of the league standings and need to resuscitate their campaign soon if they are to repeat their heroics from last season.
Newly promoted Darmstadt continued their unbeaten run in the league as they downed Bayer Leverkusen by a solitary goal to move to 11th in the table.
Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich needed a lucky penalty in the dying moments of their clash against Augsburg to register their fourth successive win and remain second in the table behind Borussia Dortmund. The Bavarian giants went behind just before the half time, but a goal from Robert Lewandowski brought the scores level and the late penalty converted by Thomas Muller won them all three points.
Last season's Bundesliga runners-up Wolfsburg were held to a scoreless draw by newly promoted Ingolstadt. The result meant the Wolves are third in the table while Ingolstadt are ninth in the standings.
Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel's Borussia Dortumund continued their sizzling run this season as they put four goals past Hannover to win their fourth successive Bundesliga game which was also their ninth successive win in all competitions. More importantly, the BVB are playing attacking football and have put 15 goals past their league opponents at the rate of almost four goals per game. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a brace for the Black and Yellows and Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored once again to swell his tally for the season to nine strikes in all competitions.
Novak Djokovic enters Wimbledon winning to beat Kohlschreiber
A goal each from Genki Haraguchi and Fabian Lustenberger gave Hertha Berlin a 2-1 win over VfB Stuttgart, who second from the bottom in the table, having lost all four of their matches so far.
Alexander Meier scored hat-trick, Luc Castaignos grabbed a brace while Haris Seferovic scored one of his own to help Eintracht Frankfurt to a 6-2 hammering of 1. FC Koln. The comprehensive win places Eintracht Frankfurt fourth in the league standings as they dream of a return to the Champions League after a long absence. The season is still long and much can happen from now until the end of the season, but Armin Veh's men have looked impressive in their four games so far.
Werder Bremen defeated TSG Hoffenheim 3-1 and climbed to sixth in the league table, while Hoffenheim are left looking for their first win of the 2015/16 Bundesliga campaign and are hovering above the relegation zone in 15th.
Joel Matic and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar were on the scoresheet for Schalke as they defeated Mainz 2-1. The win sees the Royal Blues move amongst the European spots in fifth.

Q: Highcharts: Change histogram xaxis range I recently discovered highcharts, and it seems like it is pretty cool stuff. But so far, I can not get the histogram working beyond the most basic functionality:
https://www.highcharts.com/demo/histogram
I want to show the data of live experiment, and users are allowed to enter values between 0 and 100. Therefore, I would like to force the histogram width to that range. But when I add
xAxis:{
    min: 0,
    max: 100
}

My chart disappears completely. Any ideas?

Lady Hornets Tennis
10/14/2022 Individual Sectionals
<Schedule>
On Friday afternoon, three Lady Hornet tennis players represented CHS in Springfield at the MSHSAA State Championship tournament in Cooper Tennis Complex.
Cami Carpenter made a strong showing against two worthy competitors. She lost her first match to North County's Lucy Pace 4-6, 1-6. Then, in the consolation bracket, she battled through a long, impressive two-hour match against Logan-Rogersville's #1 Singles player eventually losing 5-7, 4-6. At the end of it all, Coach Pyrtle asserted, "In true Cami fashion, she fought tooth and nail in every point. She made Chillicothe proud all weekend."
In Doubles' play, Washburn and Garr faced a very equally matched Mt. Vernon pair where they dropped the first set but fought back to win their second set. It came down to a third set tie-break, which they lost 6-10. That Mt. Vernon pair went on to the Final Four in Doubles later that day. In the second match, Chillicothe faced Kennett's #2 Doubles team (who they will play again next Friday at Team State). The Lady Hornets won the first set 6-4 but dropped a back-and-forth second set 5-7. Then, they lost another third set tie break 7-10. Coach Chambers said, "Rylee & Izzy played the best tennis of their life at the State tournament. Most new State qualifiers let the nerves affect them, but our team rose to the pressure and high level of play. They were very motivated to see that they can hold their own with top State medalists and are so motivated to work through the off-season to earn a podium spot next year."

When Seconds Become Microseconds
I've been busy writing. For other people. In between my endless trips to the grocery store, loads of laundry and cooking, I've been looking for the truth in what someone else wants to say — and nailing it down with graphite. (I always write by hand, first.) Without giving it away… I can give you a glimpse of what I've been working on. Pronouns are missing… bear with the incognito.
The magical thing about basketball is that just about every season there is one game, out of nowhere, when something seemingly unimaginable happens. Seconds are broken down into microseconds, while the heart agonizes over how slowly, or how quickly (depending on where you sit), those final seconds tick off the score board. This drama is what keeps the seats packed throughout the winter as students, parents, alumni and basketball fans flock to the gymnasium just for that one chance to witness the single swoosh that makes or breaks the season.
Such a night happened during the championship game….. During the last minute of the game, the team threw a 3-pointer, giving them a one-point lead. Then, in what was an excruciating 20 seconds for them, the other team made two free throws, giving them the lead at 51-50. With less than 10 seconds left, the team threw the winning shot, marking the final score at 52-51. Such a game is what makes….
By definition, March Madness means that the season's past record tells you little about the future. Basketball fans know that nothing's a given. But one thing we do know: The fans always cheer as if they do belong in the tournament, regardless of what drama unfolds on the court.
Isn't that the truth…

My name is Jorg Schlagheck and I am a digital artist.
All my creations start off as regular photographs, but they are usually shot with an idea in mind that differs quite substantially from the original image. Digital technology used with finely honed skills allows me to transform those images into works of art that take the viewer into a different world. It is my fantasy world, a place were I spend a good part of my life. I hope you will enjoy the journey and I'd like to thank you for taking a few minutes to check out my work. I would be honoured to provide pieces for your personal collection.
