Often viewed as a constraint for producing sun loving flower gardens, shade conditions in residential gardens offer many benefits as well.
In addition to providing much needed relief from the summer sun in outdoor areas, shade trees reduce summer cooling needs on homes when properly sited in southern or western locations. Deciduous shade trees also allow the winter sun through the open canopy to provide extra heat for residences in the cool season. Shade trees offer valuable food, nesting habitat, and shelter for a wide variety of birds and mammals.
Unfortunately, shade areas are unsuitable for growing sun loving turfgrasses that are common to our region. St. Augustine grass is the most shade-tolerant lawngrass, but still requires at least a half day of sun to perform well. Trees may be thinned of branches to allow extra sunlight into the yard yet must be pruned on a regular basis. A more successful approach to working with shady areas is to incorporate plants that are adapted to low light conditions.
There are varying degrees of shade according to the density and types of trees that are present. Full or dense shade occurs when the trees are broad-leaved, including areas containing Southern magnolia, oaks, maples, and many other hardwood types. Light shade or filtered light occurs when the trees are high branched, have an open canopy, or have fine thin leaves. Pine trees are an example of providing light shade or filtered light. Half shade or part shade occurs when an area receives full sunlight for part of the day and is shaded during the remainder. Areas adjacent houses or other structures that cast shadows for part of the day, or woodland areas adjacent open lawn spaces are examples of partially shaded locations.
Selecting appropriate plants for shade areas depends upon the degree of light available. Dense shade areas require plants that are tolerant of continuous low light conditions. Light shade or half shade areas allow for a broader range of flowering plants. Even full sun loving plants can benefit from light afternoon shade, and as long as they receive six to eight hours of direct sunlight, will continue to bloom or fruit.
Few shade plants will provide a continuous bloom through the seasons as found with many sun loving plants. Impatiens and begonias are shade annuals that provide extended summer color, yet require frequent irrigation. Competition for moisture from the surrounding tree roots must be compensated for these moisture-requiring annuals. Drought tolerant shade annuals, perennials, and shrubs are more successful in low maintenance garden conditions.
Since there are few continuously blooming shade plants, using plants that exhibit other design elements such as texture, form, and foliage color can result in outstandingly beautiful shade gardens. By creating plant combinations that contrast or compliment each other in plant shape, leaf size, and leaf texture, flowers are often unnecessary for interest. Try using plants that exhibit bold leaf colors such as ajuga, variegated hydrangea, or caladiums. Dramatic leaf sizes and textures of plants, as found in mahonia, fatshedera, fatsia, oakleaf hydrangea, and dwarf palmetto, create strong visual interest. Also, ferns, vines, groundcovers, and perennials are effective for variety and seasonal contrast.
The following list contains plants that are well-suited to growing in shaded areas. Ask your local nurseryman about their adaptability and performance in your gardening area.


Psychology is an immensely powerful tool.
The conclusion here is – *every* single aspect of these domains – is just "tactics" and principles that are hacking one thing.
See – psychology is the root cause of human behavior – when you want someone to change the way they think – you are changing their "psychology".
When you want someone to perceive something different – you must change their *psychology*.
When you want to sell someone something – you must change the way they *perceive* something – to be valuable.
If you want someone to date you – you must change the way they view you – from a stranger in some cases – to someone very attractive… and a potential person *they'd* like to date.
See – because you can master sales.
But when you miss the big picture – there will *always* be things that just "don't make sense".
Without truly having clarity as to what exactly is happening.
The point is here – Learning Psychology Remedies this.
But let us get to the point – in regards to dating – changing your life is as simple as understanding one *key* part of human behavior – and the #DatingWithClarity book covers this *deeply*.
To the point where our friend Steven – called it a book that can save a *marriage*.
The book is built to provide *utmost* clarity on everything in regards to relationships… even on how to "get out" of the "friendzone" (which doesn't really exist).
All in all – for a $17 dollar book – this book is *PACKED* with value.
The second product offered is the #WeaponizedPsychologySystem – a system designed to cover the full entirety of psychology — in one tightly packed course.


But you have chosen to carry that load on your shoulders. You are a special breed and you need the right training to get you where you want to be.
How many forwards on your team?
And how much time at practice is devoted to making YOU a better goalie?
And who gets blamed most often when your team loses a close game?
That's right, the odds are stacked against you right from the start.
You are always under the microscope and even hockey leagues like the NHL are trying to make it harder for you to succeed with talk of bigger nets and less protective equipment.
These things will happen; hockey will continue to evolve to make it harder for the goalie which means athleticism will become even MORE important than it already is.
The big goalie who just stands somewhere near the right spot and has the puck bounce off him will become a thing of the past.
Goalies will need to be the most athletic players on the ice. I actually saw Marc Andre-Fleury do a two pad stack this past week.
You will have to be athletic and fearless if you are going to succeed.

La Medalla pel Desenvolupament de les Terres Verges (rus:Медаль «За освоение целинных земель») és una medalla soviètica, creada per Nikita Khrusxov el 20 d'octubre de 1956, i atorgada als treballadors dels kolkhozs, dels sovjos, de les estacions de monocultura, altres organitzacions de construcció, treballadors del Partit, dels Soviets, dels Sindicats i del Komsomol per la tasca d'assimilació de terres ermes a les regions del Kazakhstan, Sibèria, els Urals, el nord del Caucas i la regió del Volga, durant un període mínim de dos anys.

Va ser instituïda pel Decret de la Presidència del Soviet Suprem de la Unió Soviètica, amb el disseny, la descripció i els reglaments de la medalla confirmats a la Gaseta del Soviet Suprem de l'URSS n. 22 de 1956.

Penja a l'esquerra del pit i se situa a continuació de la medalla per la Restauració de les Mines de Carbó de Donbass. L'autor del disseny va ser el pintor N.N. Filippov. Juntament amb la medalla s'atorgava un certificat acreditatiu.

Per a la seva concessió, cadascuna de les empreses, estacions, sindicats, kolkhoz i sovjos compossaven unes llistes amb les dades del treballadors proposats. Aquestes llistes eren dirigides als comitès dels Soviets regionals, i després de ser allà revisades, eren confirmades en nom del Soviet Suprem de l'URSS per les Presidències dels Soviets Suprems de les repúbliques autònomes i comitès executius territorials.
La seva concessió era feta en nom de la Presidència del Soviet Suprem de l'URSS pels presidents i membres de les Presidències dels Soviets Suprems de les regions on vivien els receptors.

A inicis de 1954, més de 350.000 joves soviètics van respondre a la crida del PCUS i a la Lliga dels Joves Comunistes van abandonar els seus llocs d'origen per dirigir-se a les zones verges del Kazakhstan, Sibèria, els Urals, el nord del Caucas i la regió del Volga. Durant el període de 1954-1956, aconseguiren transformar 36 milions d'hectàrees de terres verges en terres de conreu, aconseguint una rica collita de gra. 262 d'ells van rebre el títol d'Heroi del Treball Socialista.

Són coneguts els casos que la medalla va ser atorgada en repetides vegades a la mateixa persona, com per exemple, al Sr. K.P. Kotxetov, que la va rebre el 1957 i el 1961. Encara que es tractava d'una medalla personal, en algun cas va ser atorgada de manera col·lectiva, i així el 12 d'octubre de 1966 la va rebre l'Organització del Komsomol de l'Institut Politècnic dels Urals; així com el batalló automobilístic de la regió militar de Kíev.

Aproximadament, va ser atorgada a 1.345.520 persones.

Disseny
Fabricada en metall no ferros, és de forma circular amb un diàmetre de 32mm.
A l'anvers apareix un tractor recol·lector durant la collita i a l'horitzó apareixen sils. A la part inferir apareix la inscripció "За освоение целинных земель" ("Per l'Assimilació de les Terres Verges").

Al revers apareix la falç i el martell a la part inferior, amb raigs solars que hi divergeixen, i a la part superior, l'estrella de 5 puntes. A la part esquerra hi ha espigues de blat, i a la dreta de blat de moro.

Penja d'un galó pentagonal de seda de muaré de 24mm d'ampla, de color verd fosc amb dues franges longitudinals grogues al costats, de 3mm cadascuna.

Q: Share Intent destroys Activity I am using several share intents in my application but when ever I share and my application moves in background and after sharing the activity destroys.
I've tried:
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
and
android:noHistory="true"
for the particular activity and calling explicit intents like e.g for (google+, facebook, twitter and email)
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Send mail..."),4);

and my ActivityOnResult
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if(requestCode==FB_SIGN_ING){
        callbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode,resultCode,data);
    } //else do nothing
}

Update:
Ive figured it out a little bit my activity destroys when move to background to front. but how to handle it even if I m using particular configurations and ActivityOnResult.
intent Example:
public void ShareByEmail(){
        final String newsTitle = singleNews.get(0).getNews_title().trim();
        String newsPhoto=SingleNewsImages.get(0);
        String url = BASE_URL+newsPhoto;
        final String newsLink = "http://motorcityarabia.com"+singleNews.get(0).getLink().trim();
        final Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
        Target target = new Target() {
            @Override public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {

               // Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,Uri.parse("mailto:"));
                Intent intent = new Intent();
              intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

Dr. Flavio Ribichini, University of Verona, Piazzale A. Stefani 1, 37126 Verona, Italy.
Objectives This study sought to investigate the efficacy and performance of the XIENCE V everolimus-eluting stent (EES) (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) in the treatment of de novo coronary lesions in patients with 2- to 3-vessel multivessel coronary artery disease (MV-CAD).
Background Drug-eluting stents (DES) have emerged as an alternative to conventional coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with MV-CAD although first-generation DES yielded inferior efficacy and safety compared with surgery.
Methods Prospective, randomized (1:1), multicenter feasibility trial was designed to assess angiographic efficacy of EES compared with the TAXUS paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) in 200 patients, and a prospective, open-label, single-arm, controlled registry was designed to analyze the clinical outcome of EES at 1-year follow-up in 400 MV-CAD patients. For the randomized trial, the primary endpoint was in-stent late loss at 9 months. For the registry, the primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization at 12 months.
Results The primary endpoint per single lesion was significantly lower in the EES group compared with the PES group (−0.03 ± 0.49 mm vs. 0.23 ± 0.51 mm, p = 0.001). Similar results were observed when analyzing all lesions (0.05 ± 0.51 mm vs. 0.24 ± 0.50 mm, p < 0.001). Clinical outcome at 1 year yielded a composite of major adverse cardiac events of 9.2% in the single-arm registry, and 11.1% and 16.5% in the EES and PES randomized groups, respectively (p = 0.30).
Progress in medical care and economic and social development result in a continuous increment of life expectancy, and elderly patients are frequently exposed to widespread forms of atherosclerosis. In most cases, patients with multivessel (MV) coronary artery disease (CAD) have diffuse atherosclerosis and complex lesions, are often diabetic, and present with impaired left ventricular function. Initial comparisons between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bare-metal stents and coronary artery bypass graft surgery had shown a relative equivalence of the 2 treatments in terms of survival, but a clearly higher efficacy of surgery in preventing ischemic recurrences (1–4). Such studies, however, included patients with relatively low angiographic complexity and with 1- or 2-vessel disease in over 40% of cases, and excluded patients with left main lesions or impaired left ventricular function, a selection that clearly reduced the potential benefits of surgery (5). With the advent of drug-eluting stents (DES), results of PCI improved significantly (6,7), but unlike surgery, remained strongly influenced by the severity and extent of the MV-CAD. Such differences was clearly demonstrated in the SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) trial, a real "all-comers study" that randomized patients with 3-vessel disease, including those with left main stenosis, to PCI with DES or to coronary surgery (8,9). Based on such observations, recent guidelines on myocardial revascularization confirm the superiority of coronary bypass surgery over PCI in patients with MV-CAD, in particular in those cases with diffuse disease as expressed by intermediate or high SYNTAX scores, whereas PCI is considered to be an appropriate alternative in patients with limited angiographic complexity (10–12). The recently developed SYNTAX score II (13) has demonstrated the ability to better guide decision making between surgery and PCI than the assessment provided by the anatomic SYNTAX score alone. Current recommendations, however, are based on the results obtained with sirolimus-eluting stents and paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES), both considered to belong to the "first generation" of DES.
More recent investigations have demonstrated significantly better clinical and angiographic outcomes of a new-generation everolimus-eluting stent (EES) compared with PES (14–16). The availability of safer and more effective DES generates the hypothesis that these may reduce the gap between PCI and surgery in patients with MV-CAD. However, despite the myriad of studies performed with DES, patients with advanced MV-CAD have been regularly excluded from comparative PCI trials, and despite the lack of dedicated studies, PCI in patients with MV-CAD has become current practice.
The EXECUTIVE (EXecutive RCT: Evaluating XIENCE V in a Multi Vessel Disease) trial (NCT00531011) aims to assess the efficacy and performance of the XIENCE V EES (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) in the treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions in patients with MV-CAD (intended as 2- or 3-vessel disease). Its efficacy in preventing neointimal proliferation 9 months after stent placement as assessed by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) was also compared with the TAXUS Libertè PES (Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts).
Detailed information regarding the study protocol has been published previously (17). In brief, the EXECUTIVE trial is a prospective, double-arm, randomized multicenter trial comparing the XIENCE V EES to the TAXUS Liberté PES in the treatment of patients with MV-CAD, performed in parallel to a nationwide, prospective, open-label, single-arm registry evaluating the performance of the EES in patients with 2- or 3-vessel MV-CAD treated in daily practice. MV-CAD was defined as in previous recent studies of coronary revascularization by PCI or coronary bypass surgery (1–4,6,7,18). The study was conducted in 30 centers in Italy that enrolled 600 patients in total.
The EXECUTIVE randomized trial enrolled 200 patients fulfilling the eligibility criteria. By randomization, treatment was assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive EES or PES. In the EXECUTIVE registry, 400 patients with MV-CAD suitable to receive treatment of coronary lesions with multiple EES entered a prospective, controlled registry. The study was approved by the medical ethics committee at each participating center. All patients provided written informed consent before their participation in this study. All patients were screened for eligibility for recruitment according to the Instructions For Use of the XIENCE V EES, and the TAXUS Liberté PES.
The study flowchart is shown in Figure 1, and the inclusion/exclusion criteria are shown in Table 1.
Study design and numbers of patients with follow up controls. EES = everolimus-eluting stent(s); PES = paclitaxel-eluting stent(s).
After verifying the selection (inclusion/exclusion) criteria, candidates were randomized according to an automatic centralized allocation system to 1 of 2 study arms. Selected sites recruited patients with MV-CAD into either the randomized section or the single-arm registry section (see the Online Appendix). No site enrolled patients simultaneously in the randomized study and the single-arm registry. The 2 study groups ran in parallel from October 2008 to March 2010.
The most complete degree of revascularization was pursued, considering as equivalent both "anatomic," which includes all vessels with a significant stenosis >70% irrespective of viable myocardium, or "functional," that is, only vessels with significant stenosis >70% supplying viable ischemic myocardium (19). Because the completeness of the revascularization refers to the vessels suitable for PCI, small, tortuous, or diffusely atheromatous vessels were not treated, but all patients included in the study must have had at least 2 suitable major vessels treated with PCI and stent implantation. All major epicardial coronary arteries could be treated, with the exception of the left main trunk, and with a planned maximum of 4 DES implanted. Staged procedures to complete revascularization were allowed within 1 month of the index PCI.
The clinical risk of all patients entering the trial was classified according to the EuroSCORE (20), and the angiographic complexity of the treated lesions was assessed by the SYNTAX score obtained at baseline angiograms (21).
Treatment of the target lesion could be performed with either a single stent or planned overlapping stents. Stents could be deployed either directly or after pre-dilation. Post-dilation with noncompliant balloons could be performed if appropriate. Bailout procedures were performed in cases of major dissection; occlusive complication; chest pain or ischemic electrocardiographic changes that do not respond to repeat balloon inflations and medical therapy. In the randomized study, the stent added in bailout was of the same type of that designated by the treatment allocation. In the single-arm registry, only EES could be added.
Before PCI, all patients were pre-treated with a loading dose of either ticlopidine 500 mg day for at least 48 h before, or clopidogrel 300 mg, ideally at least 6 h before PCI, and conventional doses of aspirin (325 to 500 mg in patients with acute coronary syndromes and 100 to 160 mg in stable patients). During the procedure, patients received intravenous heparin to maintain an activated clotting time over 300 s. After successful stent implantation, all patients received standard medications, including aspirin 100 to 160 mg/day, ticlopidine 250 mg twice daily, or clopidogrel 75 mg/day for at least 6 months. A regimen of dual antiplatelet treatment was maintained for 12 months if well tolerated in patients without augmented risk for bleeding. Statins were recommended in all patients.
Patients participating in the randomized trial had planned follow-up imaging and QCA at 9 months. Angiograms were analyzed by an independent angiographic core laboratory (Euro Imaging S.r.l., Rome, Italy) blinded to the stent type.
The primary endpoint of the randomized trial was in-stent lumen loss at 270-day follow-up. To avoid interlesion clustering of restenosis, the protocol specified that a single lesion would be randomly selected by computer for analysis of late loss. All randomized lesions were instead included in the analysis for other angiographic data.
• Stent thrombosis at 30 days and 1 year adjudicated as per protocol and the Academic Research Consortium definitions (22).
• Angiographic in-segment minimal lumen diameter (MLD) and in-segment late loss at 270 days post-procedure.
• Revascularizations: target lesion, target vessel (TVR), or any revascularization at 30 days, and 1 year.
• Composite endpoint of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, Q-wave and non–Q-wave, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization at 30 days and 1 year.
• Composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (Q-wave and non–Q-wave), and TVR at 30 days and 1 year.
The primary endpoint is a composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (Q-wave and non–Q-wave), and ischemia-driven TVR at 1 year.
The secondary endpoints of the registry are the same as the randomized study, except for the angiographic assessment at 270 days.
Independent study monitors verified all case report form data onsite. All major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee blinded to treatment assignment with review of original source documentation (see the Online Appendix).
The EXECUTIVE randomized trial aimed primarily to demonstrate noninferiority of the XIENCE V with respect to the TAXUS Libertè stent. If noninferiority was shown and the in-stent late loss was found to be lower in the XIENCE V arm, then superiority could be tested 2-sided at the 5% level. The sample size for the randomized part of the study was based on the primary endpoint of in-stent late loss at 270 days and on the following assumptions: 1-tailed noninferiority test; alpha = 0.05; randomization ratio 1:1; noninferiority margin delta 0.12; true mean in-stent late loss and standard deviation are assumed to be equal to 0.20 ± 0.41 mm in the XIENCE V EES arm: 0.16 ± 0.41 mm, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.11 to 0.20; and true mean in-stent late loss and standard deviation are assumed to be equal to 0.30 ± 0.53 mm in the TAXUS Liberté stent arm. These assumptions are based on SPIRIT III (A Clinical Evaluation of the Investigational Device XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS] in the Treatment of Subjects With De Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions) trial results at 8 months (14).
Given the aforementioned assumptions, analyzing 81 lesions per arm provides more than 90% power. In order to account for dropouts and to ensure enough angiographic data, 200 patients were enrolled (approximately 100 EES and 100 PES). Sample size calculations were performed using NCSS-PASS 2002 (NCSS, Version 15 Statistical Software, Kaysville, Utah).
A sample size of 500 patients (400 included in the registry and 100 treated with the EES in the randomized study) produces a 2-sided 95% CI around clinical endpoint estimates. Assuming from previous studies a true 1-year incidence of the composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (Q-wave and non–Q-wave), and ischemia-driven TVR at 12 months rate comprised between 10% and 14%, the expected CIs, assuming 10% lost to follow-up, were estimated to comprise between 7.4% and 17.6% (16). Half the width of the CI would vary between 2.9 and 3.4; 95% CIs have been calculated using Clopper-Pearson.
The intention-to-treat population for the EXECUTIVE randomized trial consisted of all patients randomized to the study, regardless of the treatment actually received.
The primary outcome had to be tested using an analysis of covariance on 1 single randomized lesion by patient: the model included the treatment effect and post-procedure MLD value as quantitative covariate. Additionally, a supportive analysis was carried out by means of a repeated measures analysis model, using recorded data for all lesions and taking into account the interdependency of lesions within patients, by using a mixed model method with patient as random effect. Subgroup analysis was carried out on primary outcome using separate mixed models, including treatment, the subgroup factor and its interaction with treatment, baseline (post-procedure MLD) as covariate, and patient as random effect. A significant treatment by factor interaction indicates a significantly different treatment effect in 1 of the 2 categories. Patients and lesions baseline and characteristics were checked for homogeneity between XIENCE V and TAXUS Libertè groups using the Student t test for continuous variables, the Fisher exact test for binomial categorical variables, and the chi-square test for multinomial qualitative ones. The same methods were used to check homogeneity of characteristics between patients included in the randomized trial and in the registry.
Between October 2008 and March 2010, 600 patients were enrolled in 30 Italian sites. In the randomized study, 103 patients received 313 XIENCE V stents on 263 lesions, and 97 patients received 314 TAXUS Liberté stents on 235 lesions. In the single-arm registry, 400 patients were treated with 1,127 stents on 983 lesions (Fig. 1).
Baseline characteristics of the patients were well matched between the 2 randomized groups, and were not substantially different from those of patients entered in the registry except for a higher number of patients with elevated troponin in the registry (Table 2). An additive EuroSCORE ≥6 was calculated in 32% of the randomized patients (34% in the EES arm, and 29.9% in the PES arm). The mean number of lesions treated was 2.5 ± 1.3 in each of the 3 groups. In the PES arm of the randomized study, the baseline lesion length was slightly longer (13.38 ± 6.56 vs. 12.17 ± 5.72, p = 0.03), there were some more bifurcation lesions (14.9% vs. 9.1%, p = 0.05), and distal dissections after stenting were reported more frequently in this group, which may explain the need for more stents per lesion (1.34 ± 0.64 vs. 1.21 ± 0.49, p = 0.01) (23) (Table 3).
The angiographic characteristics at baseline of the 2 randomized groups and a comparison between the patients enrolled in the registry and the randomized study are shown in Table 3. The baseline angiographic complexity as assessed by the SYNTAX score was low (12.7 ± 5.24), whereas the clinical risk was intermediate (mean logistic EuroSCORE = 4.79 ± 5.6), and these were almost identical among groups. A complete revascularization according to the PCI strategy planned at enrollment was obtained in all randomized cases and in 396 (99%) of the 400 patients entered in the registry. There were no differences regarding balloon pressure for stent deployment and direct stent implantation.
All patients entered in the study had 1-month follow-up. In the randomized study, the pre-specified angiographic follow-up at 9 months was obtained in 167 (84%) patients: 90 (87%) in the XIENCE V arm and 77 (79%) in the TAXUS Libertè arm. Clinical follow-up at 1 year was obtained in 99 and 91 patients in the XIENCE V and TAXUS Libertè groups, respectively. Follow-up of the registry study at 1 year was obtained in 392 patients (98%) (Fig. 1).
Table 4 shows the quantitative angiographic measurements of all lesions of the randomized arms and the results of the QCA at follow up observed in all patients with an angiographic follow up (419 lesions). Figure 2 shows in detail the late loss at 9 months of the randomized study as a single lesion per patient analysis: primary endpoint 90 XIENCE V and 77 TAXUS Libertè (Fig. 2A) and 225 XIENCE V and 194 TAXUS Libertè all lesions analysis (Fig. 2B). The primary endpoint of in-stent late loss in the analysis per single lesion was significantly less in the EES group compared with the PES group (−0.03 ± 0.49 mm vs. 0.23 ± 0.51 mm, p = 0.001). Similar results were observed in the analysis of all lesions (0.05 ± 0.51 mm vs. 0.24 ± 0.50 mm, p < 0.001).

At 30 days, the incidence of clinical events was similar in the 2 randomized groups (1.0% and 2.2% in the EES and PES groups, respectively), and slightly higher in the registry (4.7%) (Table 5). At 1 year, 74% and 67% of patients were still under dual antiplatelet therapy in the EES and PES randomized groups, respectively, 20% and 28% were on aspirin alone, and 6% and 5% had stopped both drugs (p = 0.3). In the registry, 70% were still on dual antiplatelet therapy, 26% on aspirin, and 4% had stopped both drugs. In the XIENCE V group, 1 patient died 3 days after the procedure because of heart failure, and 1 patient died in the TAXUS Libertè group at 1 year likely because of a possible stent thrombosis. For the analysis of the clinical performance in the registry study, the 400 patients included in the registry were pooled with the 103 enrolled in the XIENCE V arm of the randomized study, for a total of 503 patients, 491 of whom had 1-year follow-up. The occurrence of clinical events was similar between patients entered in the registry and those included in the randomized study. Of note, most of the events classified as myocardial infarctions occurred within 1 month and were periprocedural, whereas very few cases occurred spontaneously during follow-up. The clinical outcome of the whole study population is detailed in Table 5.
The results for the primary endpoint in subgroups of patients according to diabetic status, lesion length, multiple stenting, SYNTAX score, EuroSCORE, and the degree of vessel disease are shown in Figure 3. The analysis shows an overall significant superiority of the EES (p = 0.0026) and a consistent trend in favor of the EES in all subgroups. Significantly better angiographic outcomes with EES were observed in patients treated with a single stent per lesion (p = 0.001), patients with shorter lesions (p = 0.001), nondiabetic patients (p = 0.039), patients with 2-vessel disease (p = 0.019), and in patients with a higher EuroSCORE (p = 0.003).
The p value is from the test statistic for testing the interaction between the treatment and any subgroup variable. Cl = confidence interval.
Although implantation of DES in patients with MVD has become common practice, data about efficacy and safety of DES in this specific setting are scarce. Indeed, most of the available data derive from the analysis of subgroups of patients treated with multiple stenting in trials that allowed the inclusion of patients with maximum 2-vessel disease or with nonspecified MV-CAD (24,25), whereas in most of the seminal DES studies, this characteristic was a pre-specified exclusion criterion (26–30). Therefore, the study of the efficacy and safety of new-generation DES in this context deserves further study.
Our trial shows the angiographic superiority of EES over PES in the specific setting of patients with 2- and 3-vessel disease. Indeed, the late luminal loss observed in this study is very low, even lower than that reported in previous studies that assessed the same stents with a lower number of observations. This is true in all the treated lesions (0.05 ± 0.51 mm vs. 0.24 ± 0.50 mm, p < 0.001), as well as in the pre-specified analysis of 1 lesion per patient (−0.03 ± 0.49 mm vs. 0.23 ± 0.51 mm, p = 0.001).
From a clinical standpoint, the results observed at 1 year in the 503 patients treated with EES in the EXECUTIVE trial yielded a very low rate of MACE, with a composite of death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven TVR of 9.2%, a reassuring finding considering that most myocardial infarctions were peri-procedural and not spontaneous during follow-up. Such results closely replicate the observations derived from lower-risk populations of MV patients such as those analyzed in the SPIRIT III and IV (Clinical Evaluation of the XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Treatment of Subjects With De Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions) studies (6.2%), as well as in the most recent Resolute All-Comers study that showed a 9.7% of all MACE at 1 year in the EES-treated arm (31,32).
The EES XIENCE V is a second-generation DES in which the drug is released from a thin (7.8 μm) nonadhesive, durable, biocompatible fluorinated copolymer onto a low-profile (0.0813-mm) strut thickness, flexible cobalt–chromium stent. Everolimus is an effective antiproliferative agent through the inhibition of growth factor–stimulated cell proliferation by causing cell cycle arrest in the late G1 stage in the cell cycle. Pre-clinical studies have shown more rapid and more complete endothelialization with this stent compared with sirolimus-eluting and paclitaxel-eluting stents (33), and clinical studies with the EES have demonstrated its superiority over the PES TAXUS Express (14–16).
The SPIRIT III randomized study enrolled 1,002 patients with mainly single coronary disease. Angiographic follow-up was planned for a subset of 564 patients at 240 days and showed that the EES was superior to the PES (in-segment late loss 0.14 ± 0.4 mm vs. 0.28 ±0.48 mm, p < 0.004). Moreover, at 2-year follow-up, treatment with EES compared with PES resulted in a significant 32% reduction in target vessel failure (10.7% vs. 15.4%; hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% CI: 0.48 to 0.98; p = 0.04) and a 45% reduction in MACE (7.3% vs. 12.8%; hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% CI: 0.36 to 0.83; p = 0.004) (14).
EXECUTIVE represents a unique population with MV-CAD patients treated with DES at an intermediate clinical risk (additive EuroSCORE ≥6 in 32% of the randomized patients), and with low angiographic complexity (SYNTAX score ≤22 in 95% of patients, mean 12.7 ± 5.24). The calculation of risk, taking into account both the angiographic severity of CAD and the clinical risk, has been proposed as a "global risk score," a new classification that may better define the subgroups of patients with MV-CAD requiring myocardial revascularization (34). Patients enrolled in the EXECUTIVE trial represent a less complex cohort under an angiographic standpoint compared with the population assessed in the SYNTAX (28.4 ± 11.5) and the ARTS II (Arterial Revascularization Therapies Study II) studies (20.8 ± 9.5), with a logistic EuroSCORE 4.79 ± 5.6, compared with 3.8 ± 2.6 in the SYNTAX trial, and 2.12 ± 15.2 in the ARTS II trial (7,8).
The trial was not powered to test clinical differences. Furthermore, due to some protocol restrictions, few patients in the EXECUTIVE trial had intermediate SYNTAX scores; none was in the highest range >32, and none had left ventricular ejection fraction <30%. These exclusion criteria were introduced to allow patients with severe and diffuse forms of CAD the possibility of surgical revascularization, a treatment that was shown to offer better clinical results and that had proved more appropriate in patients with high angiographic complexity, as recommended in the most recent international documents (10–12). For the same reason, the criteria used in the SYNTAX trial to evaluate the completeness of revascularization could not be applied. Due to the limited sample size, some minor angiographic and procedural baseline characteristics were observed. For the same reason, the statistical analysis of subgroups yields nonsignificant results among subgroups with the lower number of observations.
The results obtained in EXECUTIVE trial show that patients with 2- and 3-vessel disease having low-to-intermediate SYNTAX scores, with intermediate clinical risk, and belonging to a low-to-intermediate "global risk score" classification, have significantly better angiographic results of multiple PCI with the use of EES rather than with PES. These data, supported by the low incidence of clinical events, may help to further improve the currently known outcomes of PCI in patients with MVD. The ongoing EXCEL study (Evaluation of XIENCE PRIME or XIENCE V versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for Effectiveness of Left Main Revascularization) will investigate the performance of EES XIENCE V compared with coronary surgery in patients with left main stenosis eventually associated with MV-CAD, and will provide additional knowledge about myocardial revascularization strategies in patients with MV-CAD.

Mont-Tremblant » Blog » First snow in Tremblant!!
Snow had fallen in Tremblant – a lot! We've accumulated over 5 inches and it is still falling. Residents and visitors alike are getting very excited for the season to come. The official beginning of the 77th ski season in Tremblant will be this Thursday, November 24th!
Tremblant has a very interesting history: the first person to imagine Tremblant as world-class ski village was Joseph Bondurant Ryan, a man who originally came to the area on the search for gold. And gold he found, though not the type he expected. After hiking up the mountain with a couple of friends on seal skins ( a practice still enjoyed today by many in Tremblant!), Mr. Ryan opened the Mont-Tremblant Lodge in 1939.
The resort we know in love today was built when Intrawest purchased the resort from Quebec entrepreneurs. In 1991 the company designed and created the colourful postcard worthy village we associate with Tremblant today.
An impressive resort it is. The tallest mountain in the area at 2751 feet boasts a 6km long run and a total of 14 lifts. The capacity is 27 230 skiers per hour, with at least 50% of trails being black diamonds (more difficult).
Though Tremblant is definitely now a year-round destination – the gorgeous snow fall like we have today reminds us that the history of the place is in skiing – and skiing we do very well.
Nowhere better to enjoy the ski season than from our Tremblant Living luxury rentals – designed with your every comfort in mind – ski –in ski out, or with VIP parking passes – large spaces to store your gear – fireplaces and hot tubs.
We are your luxury ski vacation destination – and we are waiting for you!

Paul Dewar's non-profit determined to carry out his legacy
Ottawa activists are vowing to carry on Paul Dewar's legacy by expanding the non-profit he founded.
Dewar, who died earlier this week, founded Youth Action Now in the summer of 2018

Activists in Ottawa are vowing to carry on Paul Dewar's legacy by expanding the non-profit he founded.
The former NDP MP for Ottawa Centre launched Youth Action Now in the summer of 2018, to give young activists the resources and platform needed to drive change.
Since then, the group has held networking events, workshops and talks, and wrapped up a year-end fundraising campaign after raising more than $250,000.
Dewar died on Feb. 6, about a year after being diagnosed with brain cancer. He was 56 years old.

Paul Dewar remembered as an advocate for Ottawa
The loss of their founder has been difficult, but Youth Action Now staff have a clear vision of the legacy Dewar wanted to leave behind, according to Holly Price, the group's digital communications co-ordinator.
Paul Dewar spent his last days building a grassroots movement for young people 10:39
"It's still devastating, it's still a heartache, but it's also the beginning of the legacy that we're dedicated to," she told CBC Radio's All In A Day.
"He taught me and thousands of other young people that our voices do matter."
Inspiration from Parkland kids
Price said the goal of Youth Action Now is best understood by considering where Dewar got the inspiration for the organization in the first place.
Dewar had surgery on Feb. 14, 2018, the same day a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people.
Watching several of the school's students launch a passionate campaign for gun control prompted him to imagine what Ottawa youth could do if given the same resources and support.

"There are many issues here in Ottawa that need a young person's perspective, and what I believe in strongly is that they actually have the answers but often aren't given the support and the platform to do it," Dewar said in a June 2018 interview with CBC News.
New events to launch in 2019
The organization's year-end fundraising push is expected to help establish new initiatives, Price said, including a micro-grant program for youth who need help starting campaigns.
"We're also looking at launching a mentorship program and a series of workshops and tools and education in order to give kids the campaign skills they need for these initiatives they'd like to launch," she said.

The range of issues youth might choose to focus their efforts on are wide, Price said, from climate change and pollution to political activism.
Despite the difficulty of losing Dewar, Price said the organization hopes to follow his example of empowering youth.
"You didn't have to be an MP to have your voice heard," she said. "Whoever wanted to make a difference, Paul would help you make that difference."

Q: css ie8 first-child & last-child Hello guys i have the following..
.selected2:first-child{
   background: url(../img/css/first-selected.png) no-repeat !important;
   background-position: center center !important;
   box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 5px 2px rgba(221,221,221,1) !important;
}
.selected2{
   background: url(../img/css/second-selected.png) no-repeat !important;
   background-position: center center !important;
   box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 5px 2px rgba(221,221,221,1) !important;
}
.selected2:last-child{
   background: url(../img/css/third-selected.png) no-repeat !important;
   background-position: center center !important;
   box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 5px 2px rgba(221,221,221,1) !important;
}

it works perfect in ie9, chrome, opera, firefox... but in ie8  i get only the second background on every li element.
What is the problem? ie8 does not support first-child?

A: You have two issues here: Firstly the :last-child selector, and secondly the RGBA background colours.

*

*IE8 does not support :last-child. (It does support :first-child though)
You can see the browser support for these (and all other CSS selectors) at Quirksmode.org.
The quickest and easiest way to deal with this if you need IE8 support is simply to add classes to the relevant elements and style them that way instead. It's the old-school way of doing things, but then IE8 is something of an old-school browser.
If you really need to use selectors like :last-child, and you really need to support IE8, there are Javascript solutions you could try:

*

*http://selectivizr.com/ -- this is a JS library that adds support for a bunch of CSS selectors to old IE versions. It requires you to also use another lib such as jQuery that it uses to do the hard work.

*https://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/ -- this is a JS library that tries to patch old IE versions to fix as many of the bugs and quirks as possible and back-fill as many missing features as possible. It's pretty wide-ranging in what it does. It does include most of the advanced CSS features.
Either of these libraries should do the trick for you to add :last-child support, unless you have users with JS turned off.

*However as I said, IE8 does support :first-child, so missing selectors isn't the reason for your code not working in this case. The reason your CSS isn't working for :first-child is because you're using an RGBA colour for the background. IE8 doesn't support RGBA colours.
For this, the only solution available is a JS library called CSS3Pie. This adds various CSS3 features to IE6/7/8, including RGBA colour support (albeit to a limited extent; it doesn't do everything).

A: IE8 and lower don't support those pseudo classes. There is a Javascript tool that makes IE7 and IE8 behave closer to IE9 and adds support for first and last childs.
https://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/
In the downloaded file, you will find IE7.js IE8.js and IE9.js just use the IE9.js it includes the other two...

A: As previously mentioned, you can't use the :last-child pseudo-class, but you could do .selected2 + .selected2 etc. to target the one you need.

Every Missouri resident between 18 and 34, unless prohibited by law, would be required to own an AR-15 under a new bill introduced in the state's legislature.
House Bill 1108, also known as the McDaniel Militia Act, was introduced to the Missouri House of Representatives on Feb. 27 by Republican Rep. Andrew McDaniel, and would mandate AR-15 ownership for state residents within certain guidelines, KFVS 12 News recently reported.
Qualified residents may be eligible for a tax credit equal to 75 percent of the cost of the AR-15 they purchase, if the bill is passed.
McDaniel said his bill was a challenge and ploy to Democrats' mandates.
"The other side of the aisle loves mandates, so I'm trying to get them to make an argument against mandates," he explained.
Days earlier, McDaniel had also introduced House Bill 1052 – the McDaniel Second Amendment Act – which requires that residents ages 21 and older purchase a gun unless legally excluded.
This proposed bill also offers a tax credit to residents. A maximum of $1 million in tax credits would be offered to qualified residents and would be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Neither bill specifies any guidelines for enforcement, or specifies any penalties for those who decline to comply with the provisions, if they are passed by the state legislature.
Elected in 2014, McDaniel serves both Dunklin and Pemiscot counties. He formerly served as a deputy sheriff for Pemiscot County.
State census data from 2010 reports 1.5 million residents between the ages of 18 and 35, the age group targeted by the bill. The number is relatively smaller than the 4.5 million aged 21 years and older, the typical age group of gun owners, according to the Riverfront Times.
Although McDaniel said the bill was a ploy, he said he never goes without a gun for his own protection.
Neither House Bill 1108 or 1052 has a hearing set yet and neither are on the Missouri House calendar.

The 1,001 Greatest Songs of the 20th Century – 920 to 911
Written by Steve Crawford | January 9, 2021 4:30 am | No Comments
920. "Give Me Just a Little More Time," Chairmen of the Board. Songwriters: Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland (credited to Edyth Wayne and Ron Dunbar); #3 pop/#8 R&B; 1970. Like Freda Payne's 1970 hit "Band of Gold," "Give Me Just a Little More Time" was an undercover production by Holland/Dozier/Holland, who were having legal battles with Motown. The backing music was provided by The Funk Brothers, Motown's in-house band. Lyrically, the song is about building a slow relationship for a longer lasting love and/or a request to delay sexual intimacy. Chairmen of the Board lead singer General Norman Johnson is one of pop music's unsung heroes – he penned and sang the early 1960's rock classic "It Will Stand" by the Showman, and had writing credits on the hits "Patches" (Clarence Carter), "Want Ads" (Honey Cone), and "Bring the Boys Home" (Freda Payne). Johnson scored a regional hit in 1980 with the breezy "Carolina Girls" and was known as the "King of Carolina Beach Music" until his death in 2010.
919. "Road to Nowhere," Talking Heads. Songwriter: David Byrne; Did Not Chart; 1985. David Byrne, always an odd chap, embraced disorientation and perhaps purgatory on the peppy 1985 single "Road to Nowhere," which was a pop Top Ten hit in several European countries. Byrne, "I wanted to write a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom. At our deaths and at the apocalypse… (always looming, folks). I think it succeeded. The front bit, the white gospel choir, is kind of tacked on, 'cause I didn't think the rest of the song was enough… I mean, it was only two chords. So, out of embarrassment, or shame, I wrote an intro section that had a couple more in it." Rob Tannenbaum of Rolling Stone, "What could be more subversive than a clean and happy record? This seems to be the message of 'Road to Nowhere,' the sly, bubbly single that closes the ('Little Creature') album. Byrne admits that he's lost, but wanders happily toward nowhere because he's got company. You can hear him smiling, and he doesn't seem to care too much whether we follow or not."
918 "The Harder They Come," Jimmy Cliff. Songwriter: Jimmy Cliff; Did Not Chart; 1972. Jamaican born reggae artist Jimmy Cliff released his first record, 1962's "Hurricane Hatty," at the age of fourteen and had developed an international audience by the end of that decade with the songs "Waterfall" and "Wonderful World, Beautiful People." He was the star of the 1972 film "The Harder They Come," a movie about a poverty stricken musician who becomes a criminal. The film's soundtrack, with contributions from Cliff, The Melodians, The Slickers, and Desmond Dekker, eventually became more famous than the movie. The sweetness of the music on Cliff's song "The Harder They Come" hides a darker theme of not waiting for heavenly rewards, but instead grabbing what you can while on mortal soil. By any means necessary.
917. "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys," Traffic. Songwriters: Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi; Did Not Chart; 1971. Stevie Winwood, "With Traffic we wanted to actually create music which contained many elements. Not excluding blues and rhythm and blues, but also including folk music, jazz, rock and various kinds of ethnic music." On the eleven and a half minute "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys," Traffic gave its fans the complete 1970's drug experience without the inconvenience of hitting the streets to score some pot or Quaaludes. Every time I get to Chris Wood's distorted saxophone solo, it's all I can do to keep myself from checking into rehab. The song title was given to Jim Capaldi by actor Michael J. Pollard, who starred in the 1967 film "Bonnie and Clyde." Capaldi on Pollard, "He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time, he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The 'Low Spark,' for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level."
916. "American Girl," Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Songwriter: Tom Petty; Did Not Chart; 1978. Floridian Tom Petty moved to Los Angeles in 1970, getting a record deal, but not finding success, with his band Mudcrutch. He worked as a ghostwriter for Leon Russell before establishing the Heartbreakers in the mid-1970s. "American Girl" is a bouncy rocker that may have been partially inspired by dialogue from the Francis Ford Coppola film "Dementia 13," which includes a character stating, "Especially an American girl. You can tell she has been raised on promised." It was also most memorably used as part of the opening scene in the 1991 psychological horror film "The Silence of the Lambs." Petty, "I wrote that in a little apartment I had in Encino. It was right next to the freeway and the cars sometimes sounded like waves from the ocean, which is why there's the line about the waves crashing on the beach. It was the start of writing about people who are longing for something else in life, something better than they have." Drummer Stan Lynch, "I think everyone knew that there was a little lightning in the bottle on that one."
915. "Love Me Two Times," The Doors. Songwriter: Robby Krieger (although originally attributed to the entire band); #25 pop; 1967. Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, "I kind of got the idea from an old blues song that I heard, oddly enough on a record that Paul Rothchild produced called 'The Blues Project.' I came on to this song that was by Danny Kalb. The 'Love Me Two Times' thing was about some of my friends that got drafted and had to leave for Vietnam and they were going to see their girlfriends for the last time, or not for a long time, and so that's where it came from. We all loved blues songs but when The Doors did the blues we changed it around. 'Love Me Two Times' was sort of like the blues but then it goes to kind of a circle where it goes D, C ,B, B-flat, A, which is unusual and then it had that kind of bouncy beat." Ray Manzarek, who played the world's meanest harpsichord solo on this record, described "Love Me Two Times" as, "Robby's great blues/rock classic about lust and lost, or multiple orgasms, I'm not sure which."
914. "Can't Buy Me Love," The Beatles. Songwriters: John Lennon, Paul McCartney; #1 pop; 1964. "Can't Buy Me Love" was recorded in late January of 1964, just when Beatlemania began to sweep America. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was scaling the U.S. charts and the Fab Four were less than two weeks away from their much remembered debut appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Rolling Stone magazine, "McCartney has said 'Can't Buy Me Love' was 'my attempt to write [in] a bluesy mode.' But the song is much closer to the group's primary influences: the bright gallop of uptempo Motown and brisk Fifties rockabilly. Lennon and McCartney had their own deep roots in the latter, but Harrison was the expert: His guitar style, especially in the Beatles' early recording years, was an aggressive updating of the simplicity of Carl Perkins and Scotty Moore's breaks on Elvis Presley's Sun singles. In 'Can't Buy Me Love,' Harrison's solo – which takes off after one of McCartney's Little Richard-inspired screams – is classic '56 Memphis with jet-age sheen." George Martin commenting on his key recommendation, "I thought that we really needed a tag for the song's ending, and a tag for the beginning; a kind of intro. So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending, and said 'Let's just have these lines, and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly.' And they said, 'That's not a bad idea, we'll do it that way.'"
913. "No Sex," Alex Chilton. Songwriters: Alex Chilton, Rene Coman; Did Not Chart; 1986. Former Box Tops/Big Star lead singer Alex Chilton dropped out of the music business for a period during the early 1980s, finding himself in New Orleans and working manual labor jobs to including being a dishwasher, a janitor, and a tree trimmer. He released a few highly regarded EPs during the mid-1980s, including 1986's "No Sex," which included a humorous title track about the dangers of casual coitus during the AIDS/HIV epidemic. Nice touches include the woozy contributions from the famed Memphis Horns, and, Chilton's trashy Telecaster garage rock guitar solo. Spin magazine, "'No Sex' isn't about anything as pedestrian as individual human relationships; instead, it's the exhausted whoop of a petulantly jaded American boy-king for whom random, unprotected sex and careless drug use are the only pseudo-freedoms left after the shitshow of the '70s and early '80s. This 'no sex' business was simply a disease too far (namely, HIV); and somebody had to testify." Key lyric: "Hey, baby, it's the 1980s/Baby Doc sent it up from Haiti /Can't get it on or even get high/Come on, baby, fuck me and die."
912. "99 Luftballons," Nena. Songwriters: Uwe Fahrenkrog-Peterson, Carlos Karges; #2 pop; 1984. "99 Luftballons" was your typical Cold War era German new wave pop song with a prominent synth bassline about horrific potential military destruction that was big on the charts in 1984. The lyrics were inspired by a 1982 Rolling Stones concert in West Berlin that included release of hundreds of helium filled balloons. Guitarist Carlos Karges wondered how East German or Soviet forces might react if the balloons drifted into East Berlin. Really, as far as American audiences were concerned, the lyrics could have been about poorly prepared schnitzel and pommes frites. Lead singer Nena in 2016, "It was never meant to be a specific political song. The message was that misunderstandings between people can cause everything, can cause a butterfly effect. We were never a political band with our lyrics—but we were always people who wanted peace in the world. '99 Luftballons' was this sort of a song. It was always a peace song."
911. "My Old School," Steely Dan. Songwriters: Donald Fagen, Walter Becker; #63 pop; 1973. From the 1973 "Countdown to Ecstasy" album, "My Old School" is a remembrance of a trumped-up drug raid (orchestrated by future Watergate figure G. Gordon Liddy) that occurred when Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were attending Bard College. "My Old School" wasn't a major hit, but it is a fine example of Steely Dan's swinging jazz influenced rock 'n' roll paired with hard rock guitar and a bad attitude. Sam Sutherland of Best Classic Bands, "'My Old School' deconstructs school-day memories into an ebullient anthem of liberation. The track soars through staccato guitar solos and a bravura Jimmie Haskell arrangement that marshals four saxophones to culminate in a sonic punchline: When Fagen's vow to never return to his college town hinges on a Doomsday scenario, 'California tumbles into the sea,' the sax chorus ends with a swan-diving baritone sax note funnier than the lyric itself."

Feral Trade (Import-Export) is an artist-run grocery business established in Bristol in 2003. According to Kate Rich, the inventor, it is a public experiment which trades goods via social networks. Products are run along social routes, avoiding official channels of distribution in preference for a hand-carried cargo system, often using other artists or curators as mules. All activity is logged on the project website, which allows the movements of groceries to be monitored, in the spirit of open source programming. In addition to their now 5-year old trade in coffee from El Salvador, the product line has grown to include sweets from Iran, turmeric from Bangladesh, grappa from Croatia and wild grown antidepressants from Bulgaria establishing a remarkable series of informal, alternative distribution networks of otherwise locally produced goods. The process is called Feral Trade to distinguish it from other methods such as Fair or Free. This trade is considered "feral" in the sense of feral pigeon rather than feral wolf. This is an important distinction, suggesting survival tactics in hostile urban environments as opposed to romantic notions of wild nature. The Feral Trade approach is reminiscent of time past, when goods moved more slowly. Kate draws the comparison between the days when freight shipped at an unhurried pace along the canals. It would take weeks to travel through the UK so what mattered was frequency and not speed. As long as they were moving along at regular intervals, people would continue to have their daily essentials delivered. The success of this project is even more remarkable in a climate of rising tensions over transportation resources. We could argue that if market freight system were more "feral" the question "did you pack this bag yourself?" would be irrelevant.

Paras Griffin/Getty Images
By Sydney Scott	· Updated October 27, 2020
"They" have some explaining to do.
Shortly after it was announced that Keri Hilson would be releasing her first studio album in five years, the singer took to Twitter to let fans know that her album's not quite ready yet.
THEY issued a fake press release. THEY have good info tho: Again IS jammin/LIAR IS the album but it's just not ready. Soon! #nevertrustTHEY
— Keri Hilson (@KeriHilson) March 17, 2016
For about 24 hours fans were buzzing about the upcoming L.I.A.R. release, which promised collabs with Chris Brown and Timbaland. And, while Keri was happy to see her fans so excited, she just needs them to wait a little longer.
Singer Tweet Is Back in the Spotlight—This Time on Her Own Terms
Please pray for whoever leaked the information. The singer doesn't seem too happy about her fans being tricked and intends to take action.
My web & legal teams are investigating to find out who is responsible, and we are taking action. You don't deserve to be duped like this.
