There was a media announcement recently from a Russian company called Elcomsoft claiming to be able to crack WPA encryption. What's this about and how does it affect you?
WEP – the old wireless security option. This is useless, it provides no real security.
WPA – this replaced WEP. Some old devices didn't support it but most new ones do. WPA is good, highly recommended.
So what did Elcomsoft do?
If you use a short password, say 10 letters long, it used to take 579,000 years to crack. With this new technology it would now take 5793 years, or 5 years if they purchase 1000 of these machines dedicated to hacking into your wireless network (at a cost of over $1m of hardware).
If you use a good password, e.g. 20 characters long, will now take 10,000,000,000,000 years to crack, or shorter if you have thousands of computers working together on this.
In other words the article is mostly hype. Making something 100 faster doesn't mean much when we're talking about trillions of years.
The short version is: use WPA/WPA2 and a long password when configuring your wireless network. Use at least 20 characters.
What I've written above applies to small networks such as home or small offices. For large networks you should be using a technology called Radius together with WPA, this is much more secure, extremely hard to crack, and of course more complicated and expensive to install and maintain.


Throughout the year Zamorano conducts negotiations with aid agencies, governments, foundations, private companies and individual donors to raise funds and channel them to economically disadvantaged youth with excellence.
What types of aid are to study in college?
Two types of scholarships, partial scholarships that cover part of the annual value of tuition and full scholarships covering the full annual value of tuition and may also include additional benefits such as transportation, bicycle, monthly stipend handled, or others define the donor.
Having received confirmation of Management Admissions that the applicant was "Accepted" . For a student to be accepted must meet the admission requirements.
Complete the form "Request for grant " .
Comply with the instructions provided by the Financial Aid Office to carry out the socioeconomic study site. Given that aid funds are very limited, we ask the candidates and parents to make efforts for their own funding for government institutions, private companies, etc. allowing them to have the necessary funds for the payment of tuition if not also supported by funds managed by Zamorano.
When should I apply for scholarship Zamorano?
You can apply for scholarship immediately after his request to enter Zamorano has been "approved".
How do you select the recipients for grant funds administered by Zamorano?
The selection process with disadvantaged youth scholarship is completely transparent and it is the responsibility of an internal committee which bases its decisions on Institutional Management Policy funds and awarding grants. At this point it is worth mentioning that among others, they are considered academic aspects (Academic Performance at school), the result of a personal interview, a result of the admission exam (PAA), merits of the applicant, socioeconomic study.
Can you complete the application manually?
How the application is completed?
We must be careful and honest in preparing the grant application form, since, to find false information, the application will be canceled and any aid which has been granted even where the applicant has made enrolling in Zamorano.
- Carefully fill the form detailing all the information requested, do not skip DATA. The lack of information will cause your application to be rejected by submitting an incomplete application.
- Check that the form is accompanied by all documents requested of it. This means, proof of annual income, receipts or proof to substantiate expenditures.
How do I know if the grant documentation was received at Zamorano?
You can send an email to becas$#064zamorano.edu to know if the documentation was received.
How long should I wait for an answer to the scholarship application?
The answer to the scholarship application varies from country to country for various reasons, but usually, recipients are notified between October to December.
Once my application submitted Scholarship what steps follow?
Thorough review of information presented.
Pre selection of potential candidates.
Preliminary notification of the grant approved.
Acceptance and confirmation of the grant by the applicant.
If they contacted me to visit me in my home and fulfill myself the socioeconomic study, does it mean that I have been granted a scholarship?
No. Both the official letter of "acceptance" that emits Management Admissions any related to socioeconomic study do not indicate that the candidate was favored with communication scholarship.
The socioeconomic study is an additional tool that uses the Internal Committee of Zamorano to know its case further.
What requirements are evaluated for scholarships?
Academic Performance: Certificate of qualifications, diplomas and certificates of previous studies, other merits.
Result of interview: Extracurricular activities, aspects of vocation, social commitment, leadership, adaptation, etc.
Proven financial need: proof of income and family expenses, tax returns, documentation of family assets, socio-economic study, etc.
Who is intended this help?
A candidate who distinguish themselves by their merits and who have limited financial resources.
Are these grants are compatible with other aid?
Aid granted by Zamorano are compatible with others for the same concept may be granted by other public or private entities.
I asked once and did not leave favored. What I try again?
Who decides the granting of the scholarship?
The Financial Assistance Committee Zamorano is composed of five honorable representatives from different areas of the institution.
What recommendations would you give to an aspiring?
Do not rely on only grant management Zamorano also solicits funds from various sources to increase their chances of receiving aid alternate minimize EFC.

What Would Happen if a Massive Solar Storm Hit the Earth?
Maddie Stone
We all know that major storms can wreak havoc, flooding cities and decimating infrastructure. But there's an even bigger worry than wind and rain: space weather. If a massive solar storm hit us, our technology would be wiped out. The entire planet could go dark.
"We're much more reliant on technology these days that is vulnerable to space weather than we were in the past," Thomas Berger, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told Gizmodo. "If we were hit by an extreme event today, it'd be very difficult to respond."
"Solar storm" is a generic term used to describe a bunch of stuff the Sun hurls our way, including x-rays, charged particles, and magnetized plasma. A massive solar storm hasn't hit the Earth since the mid-19th century, but space weather scientists are very worried about the possibility of another.
A solar storm usually starts with a solar flare — a giant explosion on the surface of the sun that sends energy and particles streaming off into space. Small, C-class flares occur all the time and are too weak to affect the Earth, while mid-sized M-class flares can produce minor radio disruptions. X-class flares, meanwhile, are the largest explosions in the solar system, releasing up to a billion hydrogen bombs worth of energy. These eruptions occur very rarely, but when they do, they're an epic sight.
One of the most powerful flares measured with modern instruments took place during a solar maximum in 2003. It was so large it maxed out our satellite sensors, which registered an X-28 (28 types larger than an X-1 flare, which itself is 10 times greater than an M1 flare). Here's what that event looked like:
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft captured this epic solar flare in 2003. Image credit: ESA / NASA - SOHO
Despite observing flares for over a century, scientists still aren't totally sure what causes the Sun to erupt. We do know that flares have a lot to do with disruptions in the Sun's powerful magnetic field, which oscillates over the course of an 11-ish year solar cycle.
"Solar storms originate in magnetic features that erupt from the surface of the sun," explained space weather scientist Joe Gurman, speaking to Gizmodo from NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center. "We call these active regions, or sunspots. When they're big and ugly, that's an indication that the magnetic field is changing rapidly. And when the magnetic field changes rapidly, that appears to be the cause — or related to the cause — of solar activity."
A mid- to large-sized solar flare would send waves of high energy radiation — x rays and ultraviolet light — zipping toward the Earth. These types of radiation are powerful enough to rip electrons off of atoms. That's exactly what they start doing when they hit the upper portion of our atmosphere, known as the ionosphere. Basically, the sky gets zapped with a giant electromagnetic pulse. But according to Berger, even the biggest flares don't impact humans very much.
"It's a huge EM pulse that roils up the ionosphere, causing it to expand out," Berger said. "But the solar flare really doesn't damage technology."
The one exception is radio. Radio signals between the Earth and orbiting satellites can be blocked when the atmosphere becomes too charged.
"Radio communications are sometimes impacted," Berger noted. "Over the horizon radio becomes difficult. When airplanes are flying over the poles, the only way they communicate with control centers is high frequency radio waves bouncing over the continents. But it's just a temporary difficulty lasting ten minutes to hours at the most."

We don't have a great way of forecasting solar flares, and they hit the Earth too quickly for NOAA to provide airline companies with advance notice (it takes about eight minutes for sunlight to reach us).
"The only thing we can do is issue an alert when we see one," Berger said. "Airlines are very interested in flare effects on high frequency communications, and if there's a really large event, they'll consider grounding flights."
If you're not an airline operator, you pretty much get to sit this one out. But don't forget to check out the amazing images over at NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory every now and then.
Charged Particles
Minutes to hours after a solar flare lights up the sky, a stream of charged particles — electrons and protons — arrive at the Earth. They bombard the magnetosphere, a protective envelope around Earth created by our magnetic field. "We see the radiation level go up sometimes, which can indicate that particles are impinging on Earth's orbit," said Berger.

Occasionally, a large pulse of charged particles will hit orbiting satellites and damage their electronics. Particle radiation is also a big health risk for humans in space.
"We do have to worry about energetic particles on the ISS," Gurman said. "If we ever get to the point of being a spacefaring race, they're going to become a much bigger concern."
But by and large, the effects of solar particle radiation are buffered by the magnetosphere and atmosphere. It's what's coming next that you and me on the ground need to worry about.
Coronal Mass Ejections
When the Sun flares up, it sometimes shoots a giant cloud of magnetized plasma off into space. This is called a coronal mass ejection (CME). CMEs are the slowest form of solar weather, taking anywhere from 12 hours to several days to reach the Earth. They're also by far the most dangerous.
Fortunately, because CMEs are slow moving, our space weather forecasters have a little more time to anticipate them. They examine images of the Sun, pulled from the SOHO and STEREO satellites. When our observatories see something big, NOAA responds.
Berger outlined what happens next: "A watch is issued when we see something happen on the Sun headed toward the Earth. Typically if there's a large CME, something major we think could impact the Earth, we put out a watch."
A CME will shoot pretty much straight out from the Sun, and there's always a good chance that the Earth won't end up in its path. If a CME is coming straight at us, it'll first hit NASA's ACE satellite, located at the L1 Lagrange point roughly a million miles in front of the Earth. If that happens, we've got anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before a cloud of plasma rains down from above, interacting with our planet's magnetosphere and triggering a geomagnetic storm.
That's when you start to see effects on the power grid.

"This generates huge electrical currents in upper atmosphere of Earth," Berger said. "Depending on how conductive the ground is, you can get large currents getting picked up by power stations and fed into the grid." And that's bad news, because "our grid isn't designed for huge amounts of current coming out of the ground."
Geomagnetic storm strength is measured in "disturbance storm time" or Dst, which essentially describes how hard a CME shakes up Earth's magnetic field. Ordinary storms, which cause the northern lights to flare up but otherwise don't impact us, register somewhere in the neighborhood of Dst = -50 nT (nanoTesla). The worst geomagnetic storm of the space age, which knocked out power across Quebec in March of 1989, registered a Dst = -600 nT.
But even that 1989 storm looks puny in comparison to the Carrington event, a geomagnetic storm that zapped the Earth 156 years ago. At the time, the damage wasn't too bad. But a Carrington-sized storm today could spell disaster.
Monster Storms
The Carrington event of September, 1859 is named for Richard Carrington, the English astronomer who saw the sun flare up with his own eyes. In the days following Carrington's observation, a series of powerful CMEs hit the Earth head-on, igniting the northern lights as far south as Cuba. Currents electrified telegraph lines, shocked technicians, set telegraph papers on fire, and caused widespread communications outages.
Modern estimates for the strength of this storm range from Dst = -800 nT to -1750 nT.

Human society is far more reliant on electricity today than it was 156 years ago. Berger pointed out that today we have pipelines, electrical transmission grids, and a lot more ground-based electrical conduction technology. So, what would happen if a Carrington-sized event struck us now? Pretty much ever aspect of the modern world would take a hit, according to a report by the National Academies of Sciences.
The ground currents induced by large geomagnetic storms can melt the copper windings of transformers that lie at the heart of power distribution systems. If this happens, it can lead to massive power outages. And because our power grid has grown much more interconnected over time, the effects of such an outage today could be spread far and wide.

It's hard to overstate just how much this would uproot our lives. The lights would of course go out, as would the internet, and any device that draws current from the wall. In places with electronically-controlled municipal water supplies — like most modern cities — toilets and sewage treatment systems would stop working. Heating and air conditioning would fail. Perishable food and medication would be lost. ATMs would be useless. Gas pumps would go offline. And so forth.
GPS technology would also be knocked out. Said Grunman, "The GPS system depends on the very precise timing of a course of signals between two points, like a spacecraft and your phone. If you dump a bunch of energetic particles into the atmosphere, that effects your GPS. Which is sobering when you consider the replacement of old aircraft landing technology with GPS."
Some of these effects could last years, and they'd be felt globally. "The entire magnetic field of the Earth is changing, so the entire Earth feels it," said Berger.
It's hard to fathom the social consequences of billions of power-hungry humans suddenly being pulled off the grid, but I think we can all agree it wouldn't be pretty. What we do know for sure is that the economic toll would be enormous. The National Academies report estimates that total cost of a Carrington-sized event today could exceed $2 trillion dollars — 20 times greater than the cost of Hurricane Katrina.
It's important to keep in mind that we aren't talking about some incredibly far-fetched, Armageddon-style apocalypse situation here. In fact, in July of 2012, a massive CME ripped through Earth's orbit and narrowly missed us. That event, which was picked up by NASA's STEREO-A satellite, would have registered a Dst of -1200 nT — comparable to the Carrington event.
"If it had hit, we would still be picking up the pieces," space weather scientist Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado told NASA in 2014. "How many other [storms] of this scale have just happened to miss Earth and our space detection systems? This is a pressing question that needs answers."
Are We Dead in the Water?
Hopefully we can enact some smart mitigation policies before the techno-pocalypse befalls us. Image Credit: Shutterstock
Thanks to a growing army of space weather observatories, we're much better able to predict CMEs than we were 20 years ago. Still, most space weather scientists agree that if a massive solar storm struck today, we'd be pretty screwed. But we're trying to change that.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has assembled a task force to explore ways of responding to extreme events. Berger said that they have a national space weather strategy due out in October. The strategy will outlines what the US needs to do to be "better prepared."
Berger couldn't comment on the specifics of the policy strategy, so we'll have to check in again this fall. He did hint that it would be heavy on the recommendations for power suppliers. (Currently, power companies respond to large solar storm warnings by re-routing power distribution around transformers.)
In the meanwhile, what can a space weather-conscious Earthling do? Most of the usual disaster preparedness advice applies. Build an emergency supply kit. Have a plan for getting in touch with loved ones should the phones fail. Keep your car tank at least half full of gasoline. Keep extra batteries on hand, or purchase a solar or hand-crank charger. Back up your data. Make sure you've got plenty of spare crowbars — wait, no, that's the zombie apocalypse.
And of course, you can keep up with the latest solar storm warnings over at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Featured / Health / News / Virgin Islands / October 31, 2019
Acting Juan F. Luis Hospital CEO Dyma Williams on Thursday announced the completion and availability of a new, state-of-the-art mobile dialysis facility at the hospital.
Following Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, JFL was heavily damaged due to substantial water intrusion and physical damage to its facilities. This damage resulted in a significant reduction in the capacity of the organization to include a loss of outpatient Dialysis services, the hospital said. After the storms, an agreement was executed by Odulair and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the lease of dialysis trailer units and equipment. The contract with Odulair expired on September 28, 2019 and was not renewed. Prior to the expiration, JFL procured mobile dialysis units provided by Mobile Health Facilities.
JFL said dialysis patients report that the environment has already improved. Temperature is appropriately moderated, the environment is stable, new dialysis chairs and equipment meet patient needs and each station has a television for patient entertainment while receiving their dialysis treatment, according to the hospital.
"The JFL team is proud to stabilize and continue patient dialysis services in the community. We continue to do the work, everyday, to ensure that this transition is well managed," said Ms. Williams in addressing the transition to the new modular dialysis units.
She added, "Without question, this new mobile dialysis complex is an upgrade and now provides for increased working space, patient comfort, better patient flow, improved patient safety and improved functionality for dialysis treatment."
Kyle Affeldt, president and CEO of Mobile Health Facilities stated, "We are proud to partner with JFL to stabilize dialysis on the island of St. Croix. In procuring MHF, JFL wanted to exceed regulatory requirements and MHF delivered."
According to JFL, MHF mobile dialysis facility complex consists of two mobile dialysis facilities that enable patient access to twelve new dialysis stations. These dialysis stations provide sustaining dialysis treatment for JFL's patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease and kidney failure patients. These treatments are required three times per week to clean the blood and flush wastes from the patient. This process is normally a bodily function performed by the kidneys. However, after a patient progresses through kidney failure, the body can no longer perform this critical function. When this occurs, there are only two treatments available to the patient: a kidney transplant (a compatible donor is needed to provide one); or dialysis treatment.
"As an executive team, our focus is to restore critical healthcare in the territory," Ms. Williams said. "We are eager to begin the construction of the community's new hospital and the creation of hundreds of healthcare jobs and positive economic development in the U.S. Virgin Islands. As we await the move into the temporary hospital, we have stabilized dialysis services, first. We ask for the support of the community as we stabilize the remainder of the JFL facility."

When something goes wrong and calls for action by society there is several ways outcomes and reactions that the population has. From taking up arm, activism, ignoring the situation, and slacktivism. Our reactions usually are the first three in the list above, but the last option is becoming the more popular, with the aid of web 2.0 and social media.
Slacktivism is the act or appearance of being an activist but with actions that don't reach their cause. The most common example of this lack of action can be seen on facebook regularly, the filters that can be applied to a profile picture that support a cause, posts that express feelings but don't accomplish anything. Sharing of a gay pride or support image but not letting those ideals cross over into life, sharing a page that raises money for disaster relief but not actually donating.
With the way we all use social media and the development of web 2.0 it allows us to create a dialog, and create a dialog that isn't inhibited by anything in the physical surrounds. Slacktivism allows for information to be spread, and to be spread in a way that gives a feeling that being an activist is optional. If a person isn't the type to get out there and do something, it gives them a chance to fill other people in without getting out of their comfort zone.
However, the reach of the conversations are only to those with access to the internet and electronic devices. A slacktivist isn't helping a cause to get to their goal in a forward way, which can make a process worse. This form of lazy activism also puts out a message that says that it's okay to not truly stand up one's beliefs, that putting it out there on the internet is good enough.
While slacktivism is the thing to do when you are busy and allows you to state your opinions and feelings, slacktivism is not the way to go. Our thoughts and opinions alone are not going to get anything done, actions do speak louder than words.
Being a slacktivist does have it's place, being an activist however is always a better way to actually get things done.


A decorative wreath sample was submitted with your request. The article is known as "13" Halloween Witch House Shaped Wreath" item #995765. The decoration is flat and shaped in the form of a house painted in black. The roofline is constructed of wood while the remainder of the structure is shaped with wicker material. Attached to the front is a soft sculptured witch doll dressed in Halloween theme print fabric. The doll holds a black cat in her arms and is dressed with black cat shaped shoes, black witch hat and cape. You state there are two styles of this item. The sampled item has the witch dressed in colors of orange on purple, surrounded by a bat, a web of spiders, ghost and grave marker. The grave marker has words that read "Count Dracula 1707-1835" and words on the roofline that read "Happy Halloween". You state the second style will have the witch doll dressed in colors of purple on orange accented with different color ribbons on hat and shoes. The doll will be surrounded with a pumpkin, spiders, webs and words on the roofline that will read "Treats, No Tricks".
The described "wreaths" are purely decorative in their use and, according to your letter, the products will be marketed and sold for Halloween. In addition, each article portrays a symbol that is clearly associated with Halloween. This office finds that all the items are designed and marketed in a manner that satisfies the requirements for the festive article provision.

Q: Spying on COM Objects I've set myself a new task which involves "spying" on COM objects.
Even if you don't do COM, you're probably familiar with API hooking techniques where you can hook onto an imported function and execute your own code before calling the original. API hooking is somewhat complex but it quickly gets messy (too messy for production code IMO) if you try to hook onto COM Object Methods.
So, at the moment, to do "my job", I set an API hook for CoCreateInstance and I dispatch hand-written proxies for the interfaces that I am interested in. Now that's not a lot of interfaces but it's not the neatest of solutions either.
Is there a way to do this in a neater way, preferably without using API hooking?
On a another note, this article seems to be great work http://www.ddj.com/windows/184416546?pgno=5 but the binary doesn't work anymore (I guess it was written around Win98 time). Does anyone know the internals of it and can point me to the right direction to making it work again?
Thanks

A: I don't have a definitive answer, but I know a guy who might :)
Jonas Blunck's tools are all about interception at different levels, his ComTrace is based on Keith Brown's technique, if I recall correctly, and sounds similar to what you're doing, except he parses type libraries and headers to keep track of interfaces dynamically.
We wrote Developer Playground together (I mostly did UI), it's based on API hooking, and I know Jonas said he wanted to rework ComTrace to use the same API hooking library, because it gave the best "resolution" for interception.
I don't know what you want to use this for, but I suggest you check out Jonas' tools and shoot him an e-mail - he might be able to prod you in the right direction.

A: I'd definitely recommend using Keith Brown's 'Universal Delegator' to do the low-level interception. The ComTrace tool mentioned by Kim Grasman uses it. It lets you wrap an arbitrary com object in a 'shell' that can do interception, logging, etc. The original articles (with code) describing the universal delegator are here and here.
If you want to spy on com objects in arbitrary processes (that you don't have the source for) then you'll also need to do code injection, using CreateRemoteThread() or something similar. There's an article here that might get you started if you've not done it before.

In a heavy fermion (HF) Kondo lattice system, the ground state is a Fermi-liquid (FL) state constituting the Landau quasi-particles. In Ce-, Yb-,
and U-based intermetallic systems the conduction electrons compensate or screen the localized moments of the $f$-electrons where localized
electrons together with their screening cloud form quasi-particles. These quasi-particles have heavy masses, reflected in an enhanced value of the
Sommerfeld coefficient, $\gamma$ = $C(T)/T|_{T\rightarrow 0}$, at low temperatures. When $f$-electrons so strongly couple with conduction band
there is an increased overlap of the electronic state which enhances the hybridization and band widths \cite{Hewson1993}.

The FL state in HF Kondo lattice systems shows strong correlations among physical quantities. One such correlation is the Kadowaki-Woods (K-W)
ratio, a relation between the electrical resistivity ($\rho(T) - \rho_{0}$\,=\,$AT^{2}$) and specific heat ($C(T)$\,=\,$\gamma T$)
\cite{Kadowaki1986, Miyake1989}, given by the universal ratio $A/\gamma^{2}$ = 1.0$\times$10$^{-5}$ $\mu\Omega$cm/(mJ/mol$\cdot$K)$^{2}$.
Recently, systematic deviations of the K-W ratio in many HF systems (especially for Yb-based compounds) have been explained by Tsujii $et$ $al$.,
taking into account the ground state degeneracy ($N$\,=\,2$j$+1) \cite{Tsujii2003, Kontani2004, Tsujii2005}. A FL state is also characterized by
the Wilson ratio ($R_{W}$) which links $\gamma$ to the Pauli susceptibility $\chi(0)$ \cite{Weigman1983, Auerbach1986, Lee1986}, which is given
by $R_{W}$ = $\pi^{2}k^{2}_{B}\chi(0)/(j(j+1)g^{2}\mu^{2}_{B}\gamma^{2})$, where $k_{B}$, $g$, and $\mu_{B}$ are the Boltzman constant, Lande's
factor, and Bohr magneton, respectively \cite{Hewson1993}. In addition to the $R_{W}$ and K-W ratio, the zero temperature limit of the
thermoelectric power (TEP), $S(T)/T$\,=\,$\alpha$, for several correlated materials has shown a strong correlation with $\gamma$ via the
dimensionless ratio $q$\,=\,$N_{A}eS/\gamma T$ = $N_{A}e\alpha/\gamma$ \cite{Behnia2004}, where $N_{A}$ is the Avogadro number and $e$ is the
carrier charge.

For Yb-based HF systems, the electrical resistivity and TEP reveal complex temperature dependencies with a local extrema. In general, these
extrema are related to Kondo scattering associated with the ground state and excited states of the CEF energy levels \cite{Bhattacharjee1976,
Lassailly1985, Maekawa1986}. The characteristic temperature of the local maximum shown in $\rho(T)$ and the local minimum developed in $S(T)$
allow for an estimate of the Kondo temperature, $T_{K}$, and the crystalline electric field (CEF) splitting, $\Delta/k_{B}$, as relevant energy
scales in Yb-based HF systems.

In this paper, TEP measurements on YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, Rh, and Co) are presented as functions of temperature and magnetic
field to evaluate the correlation between specific heat and TEP in the zero temperature limit. These compounds crystallize in the cubic
CeCr$_{2}$Al$_{20}$-type structure ($F\,d\,\overline{3}\,m$, No.227) \cite{Thiede1998} and have been reported to be HF metals with no long range
order down to 20\,mK \cite{Torikachvili2007}. In the FL regime it has been shown that the $R_{W}$ and K-W ratios in this family follow the
theoretical predictions with different ground state degeneracies. The TEP data of YT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Co) are also presented for
comparison. YFe$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ is one of the examples of a nearly ferromagnetic Fermi liquids (NFFL) with a highly enhanced magnetic
susceptibility value at low temperatures \cite{Jia2007}, whereas YCo$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ shows normal metallic behavior.

\section{Experimental}
Single crystals of YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, Rh, and Co) and isostructural YT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe and Co) were grown out of
excess Zn \cite{Torikachvili2007, Jia2007} using standard solution growth techniques \cite{Canfield1992, Canfield2010}. The TEP was measured
using a dc, alternating heating, technique that utilizes two heaters and two thermometers \cite{Mun2010}. A Quantum Design Physical Property
Measurement System provided the temperature (from 2 to 300\,K) and magnetic field (up to 140\,kOe) environment. For T = Fe, Rh, and Co,
zero-field TEP measurements were extended down to 0.4\,K, measured using the same technique \cite{Mun2010}, in a CRYO Industries of America
$^3$He system. The heat current was generated in the (111)-plane of the samples ($\Delta$\,$T$\,$\parallel$\,(111)) and the magnetic field was
applied along the [111]-direction maintaining a transverse configuration, $\Delta T$\,$\perp$\,\textbf{H}.

\section{Results}

Figure \ref{Zn20YST} shows the TEP data for YFe$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ and YCo$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$. The temperature-dependent TEP, $S(T)$, of these compounds
is similar to normal metallic systems. At 300\,K, $S(T)$ of both compounds is positive and has an absolute value of $\simeq$\,9\,$\mu$V/K for
YFe$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ and $\simeq$\,5\,$\mu$V/K for YCo$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$, and then decrease monotonically to below 25\,K with decreasing temperature.
With further cooling, $S(T)$ of YCo$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ passes through a broad peak ($\sim\Theta_{D}$/12 \cite{Jia2008}, where $\Theta_{D}$ is the
Debye temperature) expected to be due to phonon-drag \cite{Blatt1976}. On the other hand, $S(T)$ of YFe$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ shows a local minimum
around 14\,K ($\sim\Theta_{D}$/23 \cite{Jia2008}) that is not currently understood. The absolute value of the TEP for YFe$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ is much
smaller than other NFFL systems. A signature of the spin fluctuation temperature, $T_{sf}$, has been inferred from a shoulder in
$A$Fe$_{4}$Sb$_{12}$ ($A$ = Ca, Sr, and Ba) data \cite{Takabatake2006} and as a minimum developed in $R$Co$_{2}$ ($R$ = Y, Sc, and Lu) data
\cite{Gratz2001}. The minimum developed near 14\,K may be related to the signature of spin fluctuation, combined with phonon-drag in the
YFe$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ system. In the $T\,\rightarrow$\,0\,K limit, $S(T)/T$ of YFe$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ is larger than that of YCo$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ as shown
in the inset of Fig. \ref{Zn20YST}.

In zero field, the $S(T)$ data of the YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, Rh, and Co) compounds are plotted in Fig. \ref{Zn20ST1}. In contrast
to the isostructural Y-based compounds, $S(T)$ of the Yb-based compounds exhibits a large, negative minimum (between -70 and -40 \,$\mu$V/K) and
the sign of $S(T)$ changing above 150\,K from negative to positive (not observed in this temperature range for T = Ir). The absolute TEP values
of Yb-based compounds are much larger than Y-based compounds at low temperatures, while they have a similar order of magnitude compared to Y-based
compounds around 300\,K. A negative, highly enhanced value of the TEP, over the temperature region measured, is typical of those found in other
Yb-based Kondo lattice systems \cite{Foiles1981, Andreica1999, Deppe2008}.

Figure \ref{Zn20ST2} shows the low temperature $S(T)$ of YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$. For T = Fe and Ru, a broad minimum of $\sim$ -70\,$\mu$V/K is shown
at the temperature $T^{S}_{min}$\,$\sim$\,22\,K. For T = Os, Ir and Rh, a similar broad minimum develops at a temperature of
$T^{S}_{min}$\,$\sim$\,16-23\,K, where the width of the peak is wider than that for T = Fe and Ru. For T = Co, $S(T)$ shows a similar temperature
dependence but with the minimum shifted to $T^{S}_{min}$\,$\sim$\,4\,K and it also shows slope changes around $\sim$\,1\,K and $\sim$\,8\,K. The
width of the minimum for T = Co is narrower than that for the other members of this family. Above 10\,K, the absolute value of the TEP for T = Co
reduces rapidly as the temperature increases and the sign of the TEP changes from negative to positive close to 150\,K. For comparison, $S(T)$
curves for T = Co together with T = Fe and Rh are plotted on a semi-logarithmic scale in the inset of Fig. \ref{Zn20ST1}. A smaller local minimum
($\sim$\,-48\,$\mu$V/K) is observed for YbOs$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$. It is not clear at present if this is related to the electrical resistivity
measurement that showed a larger residual resistivity in YbOs$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ compared to other members (T = Fe, Ru, Ir, and Rh)
\cite{Torikachvili2007}. $S(T)$ of YbIr$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ is negative over the whole temperature range measured, the sign change from negative to
positive being expected around $\sim$\,400\,K, based on a linear extrapolation of $S(T)$ above 250\,K. Below 10\,K (or 3\,K for T = Co), $S(T)$
data for all compounds show a tendency of approaching zero and reveal linear temperature dependencies, $S(T)$\,=\,$\alpha T$. Since the TEP was
measured down to 0.4\,K for T = Fe, Rh, and Co, the linear temperature dependence of $S(T)$ is even more clearly revealed for these compounds as
shown in the inset of Fig. \ref{Zn20ST2}.

Figure \ref{Zn20ST3} presents $S(T)/T$ of YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ below 10\,K. Since no signature of any kind of long range order down to 20\,mK has
been observed in the resistivity measurements \cite{Torikachvili2007}, the zero temperature limit of $S(T)/T$ can be reliably estimated by
extrapolating $S(T)$ from 2\,K (or 0.4\,K) to $T$ = 0, where the inferred $S(T)/T|_{T\rightarrow 0}$ values for T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, and Rh range
between -3.8 $\sim$ -10\,$\mu$V/K$^{2}$. For T = Co, $S(T)/T$ value at 0.4\,K reaches -42\,$\mu$V/K$^{2}$ and is still decreasing (see inset of
Fig. \ref{Zn20ST3}). By using a linear extrapolation, $S(T)/T|_{T\rightarrow 0}$ value for T = Co is found to be $\sim$\,-57\,$\mu$V/K$^{2}$.

In Fig. \ref{Zn20SH1}, the results of $S(T)$ measurements at $H$ = 0 and 140\,kOe are shown for T = Fe, Ru and Ir. For clarity, the absolute
value of the TEP is shifted by -20\,$\mu$V/K for T = Ru and -40\,$\mu$V/K for T = Ir. A slight change of $T^{S}_{min}$ and a reduction of
absolute value are seen for the $H$ = 140 kOe data. Above 100\,K, $S(T)$ for $H$ = 140\,kOe remains essentially the same as $S(T)$ for $H$ = 0.
In the zero temperature limit for $H$ = 140\,kOe data, whereas $S(T)/T$ for T = Ru remain essentially the same, $S(T)/T$ at 140\,kOe for T = Fe
and Ir is decreased from $\sim$\,-3.8 to $\sim$\,-6.4\,$\mu$V/K$^{2}$ and from $\sim$\,-4 to $\sim$\,-6.6\,$\mu$V/K$^{2}$, respectively. In the
inset, the TEP measured at $T$ = 2.2\,K is plotted as a function of magnetic field for T = Fe, Ru, and Ir, where $\Delta S = S(H)-S(0)$. An
interesting point of this result is the appearance of a maximum around $\sim$\,70\,kOe for T = Fe and Ru and a minimum around $\sim$\,100\,kOe
for T = Ir. For T = Ir the local minimum field shown in TEP is roughly matched with the metamagnetic-like anomaly seen around $H$ = 120\,kOe in
magnetization isotherms, $M(H)$, \cite{Yoshiuchi2009} for \textbf{H}\,$\parallel$\,[110]. For T = Fe and Ru the $M(H)$ data at $T$ = 2\,K do not
show any signature of metamagnetic-like behavior up to 70\,kOe \cite{Mun2010c}, with $M(H)$ being linear in magnetic field for both compounds. In
order to clarify this point, it is necessary to measure $M(H)$ for magnetic fields higher than 70\,kOe, to see whether the anomaly in $S(H)$ is
related to features in magnetization or electronic data.

\section{Discussion}

Based on earlier thermodynamic and transport measurements of this family \cite{Torikachvili2007}, $S(T)$ data for YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru,
Os, Ir, Rh, and Co) can be understood qualitatively by considering the Kondo ($T_{K}$) and CEF ($\Delta/k_{B}$) effects. The compounds in this
series appear to be a set of model Kondo lattice systems with varying energy scales: $T_{K}$ and $\Delta/k_{B}$. In Fig. \ref{Zn20Parameters} (a),
the Kondo temperature, $T_{K}$, determined from $\gamma$ \cite{Torikachvili2007} and local minimum temperature, $T^{S}_{min}$, observed in the
zero field $S(T)$ data are plotted as a function of the transition metal, T. The value of $T^{S}_{min}$ correlates strongly with the value of
$T_{K}$ for T = Os, Ir, Rh, and Co.

A similar trend can be found in the previously published electrical resistivity, $\rho(T)$, results \cite{Torikachvili2007}. For T = Co, $\rho(T)$
manifests a clear local maximum, $T^{\rho}_{max}$, around 2.4\,K followed by a logarithmic temperature dependence as temperature decreases.
Whereas $T^{\rho}_{max}$ is clear in the $\rho(T)$ data for T = Co, $\rho(T)$ data from the other members of this family only show a clear local
maximum after subtracting the resistivity data of the isostructural LuT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, and Rh) compounds. The local maximum
temperatures, $T^{\rho}_{max}$, taken from Ref. \cite{Mun2010a} are plotted in Fig. \ref{Zn20Parameters} (a). The variation of $T^{\rho}_{max}$
follows the same trend as $T^{S}_{min}$ with $T^{\rho}_{max}$ $\sim$ 2$T^{S}_{min}$ even for T = Fe and Ru.

In a Kondo lattice system, a single minimum developed in $S(T)$ is expected when $T_{K}$ is either close to or higher than $\Delta/k_{B}$.
Typically, an intermediate valence system such as YbAl$_{3}$ \cite{Foiles1981} and YbCu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ \cite{Andreica1999} and a fully degenerate
Kondo lattice system such as Yb$_{2}$Pt$_{6}$Al$_{15}$ \cite{Deppe2008} exhibit a single minimum in the TEP, developing below $T_{K}$. When
$T_{K}$\,$<$\,$\Delta/k_{B}$, more than one peak has been frequently observed in the TEP \cite{Andreica1999, Huo2001, Wilhelm2004, Kohler2008}.
The low temperature extremum is usually located close to $T_{K}$, and the high temperature extremum located at 0.4-0.6\,$\Delta/k_{B}$ is
attributed to Kondo scattering off of the thermally populated CEF levels, which is in agreement with theoretical predictions
\cite{Bhattacharjee1976, Maekawa1986, Bickers1985, Mahan1997, Zlatic2003, Zlatic2005}. Therefore, the peak position can represent $T_{K}$ and
$\Delta/k_{B}$ as relevant energy scales in Kondo lattice systems.

For the YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ family, $T_{K}$ and the ground state degeneracy play important roles in the thermodynamic and transport properties. By
considering the ground state degeneracy ($N$\,=\,8 for T = Fe and Ru, and $N$\,=\,4 for T = Os, Rh, Ir, and Co \cite{Torikachvili2007}) it is
expected that $T_{K}$\,$\geq$\,$\Delta/k_{B}$ for T = Fe and Ru and $T_{K} \lesssim \Delta/k_{B}$ for T = Os, Ir, Rh, and Co. Based on this, for
T = Fe and Ru, it is reasonable to assume that $T^{S}_{min}$ and $T^{\rho}_{max}$ simply reflect $T_{K}$; with the fully degenerate case
corresponding to $N$\,=\,8. For T = Os, Ir, Rh, and Co, the two extrema in the $S(T)$ data associated with Kondo scattering on the ground state
and thermally populated CEF levels could be expected, however, only one broad peak structure is developed for T = Os, Ir, Rh, and Co. We thus
expect that a single broad minimum is produced by merging more than one peak structure due to the relatively small CEF level splitting ($T_{K}$
$\sim$ $\Delta/k_{B}$).

To reiterate: A strong correlation between the two local extrema $T^{\rho}_{max}$ and $T^{S}_{min}$ develops and remains robust even when
dependence on $T_{K}$ appears to break down (Fig. \ref{Zn20Parameters} (b)). $T^{\rho}_{max}$ $\sim$ 2\,$T^{S}_{min}$ for T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, and
Rh, and for T = Os, Ir, Rh, and Co $T^{S}_{min}$ $\sim$ $T_{K}$ and $T^{\rho}_{max}$ $\sim$ 2\,$T_{K}$.

As shown in Fig. \ref{Zn20SH1} the magnetic field dependence of the TEP observed in YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, and Ir) is anomalous. In the
simplest case of a two band model, the carrier density of electrons, $n_{e}$, and holes, $n_{h}$, can be taken as $\frac{1}{2}n$ = $n_{e}$ =
$n_{h}$. The diffusion TEP in magnetic field with several assumptions \cite{Sondheimer1948} can be expressed as
\begin{eqnarray}{\label{Zn20E2}}
\Delta S = S(H) - S(0) = -S(0)\frac{\Upsilon^{2}H^{2} \zeta (1+\zeta)}{1+\Upsilon^{2}H^{2}\zeta^{2}} \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Upsilon = 1/nec\rho(0)$, and $\zeta = L_{n}/L_{0}$ with $L_{n} = \frac{1}{3}(\pi k_{B}/e)^{2}$ and $L_{0} = \kappa(0)/\sigma(0)T$
(Lorentz number); $\sigma(0)$ = 1/$\rho(0)$ and $\kappa(0)$ are the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, respectively, in zero
magnetic field. At low temperatures $L_{0}$ = $L_{n}$, $\rho(0) = \rho_{0}$ (the residual resistivity), and the diffusion TEP in zero magnetic
field is proportional to the temperature, $S(0)$ $\propto$ $T$. Therefore, for simple metals $\Delta S$ = 0 when $T$ = 0, and for very low
temperatures $\Delta S$ $\propto$ $T$. At high temperatures $L_{0}$ = $L_{n}$, and $S(0)$ and $\rho(0)$ are both proportional to temperature, so
that $\Delta S$ tends to zero like 1/$T$ as $T \rightarrow \infty$. In general, the change in the TEP will be too small to be detected at room
temperature. Since the magnetoresistance (MR) for T = Fe and Ru is positive and increases monotonically at 2\,K for
\textbf{H}\,$\parallel$\,[111] up to 140\,kOe \cite{Mun2010a}, the change of the TEP ($\Delta S$) should increase or saturate with increasing
magnetic field. The field dependence of the TEP is not consistent with the MR results. Generally, the phonon-drag itself is not sensitive to the
applied magnetic field \cite{Blatt1976}, so it is clear that neither conventional phonon-drag nor diffusion TEP of conduction electrons can
account for the magnetic field dependence of the TEP in these compounds. Thus, multiple factors, such as the Kondo effect and CEF contributions,
have to be considered. In order to understand the observed behavior in more detail, a theoretical analysis of the TEP as a function of field for
this systems will be necessary.

Earlier thermodynamic and transport measurements \cite{Torikachvili2007} showed that the $R_{W}$ and K-W ratios of YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ agree well
with the FL picture of the HF ground state. A clear dependence of the $A/\gamma^{2}$ ratio on the degeneracy $N$ is shown in the inset of Fig.
\ref{Zn20FL}, where the $A$ and $\gamma$ values are taken from Ref. \cite{Torikachvili2007} and lines for degeneracies $N$ are based on Ref.
\cite{Tsujii2005}. A Fermi liquid state can also be characterized by the ratio between $\gamma$ and the zero temperature limit of $S(T)/T$
\cite{Behnia2004, Grenzebach2006, Zlatic2007}: a ``quasi universal" ratio $q$ = $N_{A} e S/\gamma T$ remains close to $q$ = $\pm$\,1 for metals
and the sign of $q$ depends on the type of carriers. Although for strongly correlated electronic materials like HF systems, a single band and
single scattering process is not generally thought to be sufficient for explaining the strong correlation effects, given that $C(T)/T$ and
$S(T)/T$ are most sensitive to the position of the heavy band, a quasi universal ratio is expected to hold at low temperatures \cite{Miyake2005,
Kontani2003}.

The experimental correlation between the zero temperature limit of $S(T)/T$ and $\gamma$ for YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, Rh, and Co)
is presented in Fig. \ref{Zn20FL}, where the phonon-drag effect is ignored since it is small. For comparison, data for several other Yb-based HF
compounds are also plotted in the same figure \cite{Behnia2004a}. The calculated $q$ values of Yb-based compounds vary from -0.77 for T = Fe to
-1.4 for T = Rh, which are close to the value $q$ = -1, expected for hole-like charge carriers. As shown in the figure, each data point is close
to a line represented by $q$ = -1 which means that the zero temperature limit of $S(T)/T$ is strongly correlated to $\gamma$ due to the enhanced
density of state at the Fermi level; the larger density of states at the Fermi level results in a larger $\gamma$ and $S(T)/T|_{T\rightarrow 0}$.

\section{Summary}
The thermoelectric power measurements on the YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, Rh, and Co) compounds are in agreement with the behavior
observed in many heavy fermion Kondo lattice systems. The evolution of the local minimum in $S(T)$ and the local maximum (coherence temperature)
in $\rho(T)$ with variation of the transition metals can be understood based on the energy scale of Kondo temperature in conjunction with the
influence of the crystalline electric field splitting. The large value of $S(T)/T$ in the zero temperature limit can be scaled with the electronic
specific heat coefficient, $\gamma$, which is reflected by a strong correlation via the universal ratio $q = N_{A} e S/\gamma T$ and confirms the
validity of Fermi-liquid descriptions.

Two sides of one coin will keep diabetes drug sales growing–big time–through 2025. The disease is growing fast around the world, and treatment arbiters advise a more aggressive approach to blood-sugar control.

That's almost double the $31.2 billion in brand and generic sales recorded last year.
Raleigh residents who had long touted the quality of their well water got a big surprise when it was revealed that their water was not quite as pure as they thought. In 2012, low levels of four carcinogenic chemicals were discovered in several area wells. Two years later, state environmental officials determined that the contamination was probably caused by pesticides that had been sprayed there decades earlier in order to prevent termites, with agricultural operations spraying another possibility.
Researchers at the University of Illinois say a host of commonly used chemicals, from lead and mercury to flame retardants and pesticides, need greater attention and regulation because of mounting evidence they are a threat to brain development.

Something interesting about Dr. Buttar is that he claims to have a short attention span, (although anyone who makes it through medical school must be very focused, more likely he is just too smart for his own good, like many children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD – he just always needs a new challenge).
Cholesterol in elderly, Government forcing Chemo, Roundup how toxic is it, What on earth is light pollution?
Guess what? RSB was right! Lol, not for the first time. Cholesterol does not cause heart disease in the elderly and trying to reduce it with drugs like statins is a waste of time, an international group of experts has claimed.
Modern medicine is pretty clear about the health benefits of exercising regularly, eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, not smoking, and consuming alcohol in moderation. It is well-documented that engaging in all four of these healthy habits can significantly reduce your risk of death. But a recent study has shed light on a much less-research question: if you are overweight or obese, does being healthy do as much good as it does for thinner people?Or are you doomed to never be as healthy as "normal" weight people?
So despite the ongoing rise of cancer in America, still the only treatment recognized by the medical industry in mainstream media is chemo. However, the painful, toxic, treatment has very limited success story, yet few are willing to admit there is any alternative, and the government has even started forcing parents to submit their children to chemo whether they want to or not. Natural News published an article citing a list of specific reasons to stop depending on chemo, and it starts with this.: One: realize that the cancer industrial complex is one huge scam to make money off Americans' ignorance. Two: research organic food, organic remedies, and holistic therapies that have much higher statistics for preventing, treating and curing cancer.
We've talked a lot about the globally bestselling herbicide Roundup, and how toxic it is when it gets into our digestive systems. Well, now it can cause heart problems too,according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Caen, France, and Sapienza University of Rome.
What on earth is light pollution? It affects 80% of global population, and many of us have no idea what it's doing to us and those who live in highly populated areas. As with any technology, we need to use it to help us, but remember that it is not natural, and may affect our bodies adversely if we do not use it with caution.
What are the differences between revolution and war?
RSB & Dr. Buttar will also dissect a recent poll querying the public on the ominous question, "Should government force parents to vaccinate their children?
We will also pick Dr. Buttar'sbrain on the Japanese Research Exposes Statin Scam: People with High Cholesterol Live Longer, the breaking scandal regarding Former CDC director Julie Gerberding selling her previously hidden stock holding of 38,368 for $2.3 million, a study showing a possible looming skin cancer epidemic among the middle aged, and a possible answer to the age old question of "Why does our airline food taste like it came from a prison cafeteria?".
Lastly today is set aside as a day to salute the veterans who laid their lives on the line and gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country and ours. RSB would like to take a moment and share a message from a fellow patriot, Bob Livingston of Personal Liberty, to honor all those who fought to create and preserve our great nation throughout our history and continue to strive to keep this nation free.
FDA may change "definitions for health" , FDA proposed maximum limit for inorganic arsenic, Glyphosate levels, Chem-Phys patch, and much more!
So wait, is breakfast not the most important meal of the day? This op-ed piece seeks to point out the flaws in studies and reports that have long touted the advice to eat first thing. Perhaps the most important thing to get out of this is, whenever you eat, make sure that it is what your body actually needs – nutritionally and proportionally!
The FDA has been talking about changing it's "definitions for health" recently, and has just released new standards for food labels that will now state how much "added sugar" a product contains.This can be helpful for consumers to distinguish between what's naturally occurring in the food, i.e. pasta sauce – tomatoes – and what is added for flavor. However, this will mean a lot of work and money for the food manufacturers, not a big deal if they are large enough to foot the bill, but it's this type of government regulation and paperwork that make it difficult for small-time farmers and producers to get their products to market. Something to consider as we learn to think, shop, and cook.
The US Food and Drug administration (FDA) recently proposed a maximum limit for inorganic arsenic, after several rice cereals for infants and toddlers were shown to have alarming levels of the substance. Although the proposal would seem to be cause for celebration, the FDA's suggestion trails behind the European Union's food safety guidelines, and continues to allow unlimited toxic heavy metals to infest America's food supply.
Recent tests by the Portuguese No GMO Coalition showed that volunteers in the country had extremely high levels of glyphosate in their urine, placing their contamination rate well above that of many places in Europe.
It is not just the mere presence of glyphosate that is setting off alarm bells; the levels noted were also disturbingly high. The EU limit for acceptable levels in drinking water is 0.1 ng/ml. The average glyphosate value found in the Portuguese volunteers' samples was 26.2 ng/ml – a whopping 260 times higher than the maximum legal limit!
U.S. researchers say they've developed a small, wearable health monitor they're likening to the "Star Trek" tricorder. The flexible Chem-Phys patch can be worn on the chest and tracks biochemical and electrical signals in the human body. It then communicates all that wirelessly to a laptop, smartphone or smartwatch, said a team of engineers from the University of California, San Diego.

The Jak-2 inhibitor ruxolitinib reduces constitutional symptoms and splenomegaly in patients with myelofibrosis and has been shown to increase overall survival [1 2]. The JAK-STAT pathway has an important role in host defense and autoimmunity. There are ongoing trials using ruxolitinib as an immune modulator for ameliorating graft versus host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT). Recently, attention has been drawn to the increase in opportunistic infections and viral reactivations in patients receiving ruxolitinib [3]. Here, we describe a patient receiving ruxolitinib for myelofibrosis who was diagnosed with symptomatic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation.
Other SectionsTO THE EDITORCase reportDiscussionConclusionAuthors' Disclosures of Potential Conflicts of InterestFiguresReferences Case report
Our patient had a history of essential thrombocythemia, which was treated with anagrelide and hydroxyurea, and it progressed to Jak-2 positive myelofibrosis over a 20-year period. He had high-risk myelofibrosis according to the MIPSS 70 scoring system due to high white blood cell (WBC) count (around 25−30×109/µL), red cell transfusion dependence, circulating peripheral blood blasts, and presence of ASXL1 mutation. He underwent splenectomy for increased transfusion dependence and constitutional symptoms shortly after starting ruxolitinib 20 mg bid for myelofibrosis. He continued hydroxyurea 1 g bid along with ruxolitinib. During the course of his treatment with ruxolitinib, he developed multiple infections, including disseminated Herpes zoster infection with secondary pneumonia after 5 months of treatment with ruxolitinib; community-acquired pneumonia and oral and peri-anal Herpes simplex infection after 8 months; respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia after 10 months; and recurrent paranasal sinus infections (2 episodes over the preceding year). He was not neutropenic or lymphopenic during his treatment course (Fig. 1 shows the trend in lymphocyte counts).
There was no objective evidence of disease as response to ruxolitinib, and he continued to require transfusions; however, the transfusion frequency had decreased after splenectomy. Due to the high-risk features of his disease, he was scheduled for allo-HCT. On admission for the same treatment (around 14 months after treatment with ruxolitinib was first started), he was found to have altered liver function test (LFT) and palpable cervical lymphadenopathy (ALP 644 IU/L, total bilirubin 4 mg/dL, SGOT 57 IU/L, and SGPT 89 IU/L). The blood counts at the time revealed a hemoglobin of 8 g/dL, platelet count 136×109/µL, total WBC count 75.7×109/µL, neutrophils 4.8×109/µL, lymphocytes/monocytes 65×109/µL, blast count 2×109/µL, basophils 1.4×109/µL, meta-myelocytes 0.7×109/µL, myelocytes 0.7×109/µL, and pro-myelocytes 0.7×109/µL. Peripheral blood lymphocyte count had increased rapidly to 65×109/µL (previous lymphocyte count ranged from 1.5 to 15×109/µL), and he was found to have EBV reactivation with 824,000 copies/mL which was confirmed on repeat EBV assay (he had a documented negative EBV PCR 3 months prior to this event). He did not have any concomitant viral infections at that time. Cervical lymph node biopsy showed extramedullary hematopoiesis and was negative for EBV antigens on immunohistochemistry. Computed tomography of the chest and abdomen showed an increase in the size of pre-existing para-aortic and mesenteric lymphadenopathy and ill-defined hepatic lesions. Flow cytometry to further delineate the etiology of peripheral blood lymphocytosis revealed the following: T lymphocytes, 41%; B lymphocytes, <1%; monocytes, 35%; natural killer (NK) cells, <1%; and a low CD4/CD8 ratio of 1.26; this was suggestive of a reactive lymphocyte population. Considering the elevated EBV viral load, altered LFT, and nodal and hepatic lesions, the patient was diagnosed with reactive lymphocytosis secondary to EBV reactivation. Ruxolitinib had already been tapered and discontinued 1 day prior to his admission for allo-SCT, and he was treated with rituximab 375 mg/m2. The trends in total white blood cell count and lymphocyte count prior to, during, and in the first 7 days after detection of EBV reactivation and receiving rituximab are shown in Fig. 1. His lymphocyte count and liver enzymes returned to baseline levels over the next 2 weeks. The repeat PCR was negative for EBV 1 week later, and the patient was re-admitted for an allo-HCT 2 weeks after his liver enzyme levels had returned to baseline.

There is no mention of EBV in the JAKAVI (ruxolitinib) product monograph [4], though the "serious warnings and precautions" section in the monograph states that serious bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, and viral infections (in some cases fatal or rare such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy) have been reported in patients receiving ruxolitinib.
In the pivotal COMFORT-I and COMFORT-II trials on ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis [1 2], herpes zoster infections were reported at higher rates in patients treated with ruxolitinib than in those treated with the placebo, and the incidence increased with increase in the duration of exposure (0−12 mo exposure −2.1%; ≥48 mo exposure −10.3%). Other infections, including pneumonia, sepsis, upper respiratory tract infection, and urinary tract infection occurred at similar or lower rates in ruxolitinib-treated patients than in those treated with the placebo. Pneumonia was the most common new-onset grade 3 or 4 adverse event observed after 48 months of treatment. Leukocyte subpopulations, lymphocyte functions, or antibody deficiency were not documented in these studies.
There are two cases of EBV infection associated with ruxolitinib reported in the literature [5 6]. The first was a rapidly fatal, EBV-driven lymphoproliferative disorder of the central nervous system in a patient with post-polycythemia myelofibrosis 9 weeks after starting ruxolitinib. The patient had a documented normal brain magnetic resonance imaging 3 weeks prior to initiation of ruxolitinib suggesting that the disorder developed after starting ruxolitinib. The second report was that of a patient with myelofibrosis receiving ruxolitinib, who presented with severe diarrhea related to a gastric ulcer, which was positive for EBV by PCR in biopsy but negative in the blood. In this patient, the authors were able to document a serial decrease in the number of NK cells and CD4+ T cells in the patient's blood while receiving ruxolitinib. The EBV infection responded to ganciclovir, and ruxolitinib was discontinued, but the level of T and NK cells continued to decline for the next 3 months after stopping ruxolitinib.
Even though we did not have pathological evidence of EBV on lymph node biopsy in our patient, the acute lymphoproliferative response was seen in association with the rise in serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase, which is similar to a post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder seen in association with EBV in immunocompromised patients.
JAK mutations are associated with primary immunodeficiency, and complete STAT-1 deficiency can lead to lethal viral and bacterial infection [7]. Several pre-clinical or phase 1/2 studies [8 9 10 11], have shown decreases in pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduced dendritic cell function, impaired CD4+ and CD8+ T cell priming in vitro and in vivo, and even marked and long-lasting decrease in regulatory T cells and NK cells in patients receiving ruxolitinib, some of which were linked to clinically relevant infections like herpes virus and cytomegalovirus.
In our patient, the asplenia could have potentiated the immune-suppressive effects of ruxolitinib, though the spectrum of atypical infections seen in our patient points to defective cell-mediated immune responses rather than defective humoral responses as is seen in asplenia. Similarly, it is unlikely that hydroxyurea could be responsible for his infections as he had been on hydroxyurea for 20 years prior to starting ruxolitinib without any increase in infections.
The most frequent infections described with ruxolitinib are tuberculosis and Herpes zoster, Hepatitis B virus, cryptococcal, and Pneumocystis jiroveci infections [12 13]. In a report from the French pharmacovigilance database [14], 22 patients had infections while receiving ruxolitinib. The median dose in these patients was 30 mg/d (10−60 mg), and the median time to onset of infection was 424.5 d (98−1,550 d). These included bacterial, mycobacterial, viral (including 1 patient with EBV), fungal (including Pneumocystis, Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus), and parasitic (Toxoplasma gondii) infections. Some authors have suggested [15] that anti-infective prophylaxis may be indicated to offset the potent immunosuppressive effects of ruxolitinib, especially for the prevention of herpes simplex and varicella zoster virus reactivation, in addition to careful monitoring for other atypical infections.
Other SectionsTO THE EDITORCase reportDiscussionConclusionAuthors' Disclosures of Potential Conflicts of InterestFiguresReferences Conclusion
Patients receiving ruxolitinib should be counseled regarding the increased risk of infections, and careful monitoring for opportunistic infections is advisable. Future studies on ruxolitinib may benefit from prospective monitoring of CD4, CD8, NK, and B cell profiles of patients for improved understanding of the pathophysiology of the immunodeficiency associated with ruxolitinib.

"50% of the surface area of Melbourne is dedicated to streets and carparking - that's 5,000 square kilometres. If we transform even half of Melbourne's paved surfaces to landscape, that's 2,500 square kilometres of new green space!
Re-forested, this could result in 125 million new trees in Melbourne alone.
The streets of Melbourne, renamed "parks," will become neighbourhood "commons," providing shared open space and civic amenity for the communities through which they run.
"Over time, one day, you'll even find yourself in the middle of great seasonal celebrations in the streets, with everyone coming out to share in the fire, and the burning." The Square in the Park is much more than just a tree in a carpark – it is an opportunity to transform our cities, recover our relationship to landscape, and have a global impact.
"For thousands of years, the Birrarung Valley was rich grasslands and wetlands. Hundreds of generations ago, the Wurundjeri people settled this valley, which became their Country: a ritualised landscape, with a sung history, with places for feasting, ritual and celebration.
"After colonisation, this landscape was overlaid with the abstraction of the Hoddle Grid, a system for the efficient movement of vehicles.
"This project is an opportunity to recover landscape, habitat, meeting spaces and places of meaning, using Melbourne's streets. In doing so, we'll re-establish the relationship between residents and the landscapes that we all share. By reframing Melbourne's streets as parks, as civic spaces in which the life of the city happens, we imbue these spaces with meaning beyond that of simply movement - they become permanent fixtures in the community's cultural memory, they become Lines No Fire Could Burn."
The tree quickly became a meeting spot for Conference attendees. It inspires others: workers, students, neighbourhood groups and local councils, will all undertake similar tree-planting works, transforming rows of parking spaces into alleys of trees.
