There's nothing more embarrassing than walking through your daily routine with the constant shadow of bad breath following close behind. Don't let this become a reputation you carry around. Follow these tips to prevent bad breath.
Your tonsils may be causing your bad breath. There are holes in your tonsils known as crypts. A smelly substance will collect in these holes, sometimes falling out while chewing and getting stuck in the teeth. These will create a very distinct smell.
There is a need for bacteria inside your mouth, but too much can be a bad thing. These smelly micro organisms rest on the tongue and between the teeth.
Be aware of the foods you are eating. Pungent foods like garlic, onions, and more will linger in your mouth.
The cause of your bad breath might not be coming from your mouth at all, instead coming from your stomach. GI problems can result in gas being released, making its way up to your mouth.
Harmful habits such as smoking will give you bad breath. Quit immediately for many health benefits.
Brush at least twice a day. This includes not only your teeth, but your tongue as well. Make sure to get the back of your tongue where bacteria hides. For those who want an even better clean, invest in a tongue scraper as well.
Floss your teeth on a daily basis. You'd be surprised the food particles that remain wedged between the teeth, even after brushing. In addition to this, the white substance coming from your tonsils has the potential to get stuck here.
Skip the soda and instead drink lots of water. Without sufficient amounts of water your mouth will become dry, causing bad breath.
If you feel a disturbance in your stomach, take an antacid as soon as possible. This will help calm it before it has the chance to cause problems for your breath.
While yogurt also contains bacteria, this is the good bacteria that is healthy for your breath. The bacteria here will cancel out the bad breath causing bacterias, freshening your breath.
Keeping your six month appointment at the dentist will help keep your breath fresh. Here the dentist can check your mouth for problems and give your teeth a thorough cleaning.
Bad breath doesn't have to be a problem in your life, identify where it is coming from then take the steps to prevent it. By making these changes in your routine, you will feel more confident with better smelling breath.

La triquetra, è un antico simbolo a tre punte, di solito tra loro interconnesse. Il termine viene erroneamente usato come sinonimo di triscele.

Nella simbologia celtica la triquetra simboleggiava l'aspetto femminile del Divino (perché tutto ciò che genera la vita è madre e non padre), raffigurato come triplice divinità femminile di fanciulla, madre e anziana, mentre nel nord Europa compare nelle pietre runiche.

L'affermazione di cui sopra, sulla presunta lettura iniziatica o esoterica esclusivamente femminina della triquetra nel mondo celtico, ed in generale di qualunque forma simbolica trimorfica, seppur diffusa in molti ambienti tradizionali non riconosciuti, è tutt'altro che assoluta e certa ed, anzi, fortemente discutibile e mostra una certa infondatezza: intanto poiché se le lune sono tre (crescente, piena e calante, corrispondenti alla Fanciulla, la Madre e la Anziana-Crona o Vedova, e quindi anche alle tre versioni della iconografia mariana,  che da queste discendono direttamente, la Vergine, la Madre e la vedova, esattamente nei suoi tre colori tradizionali, bianco, rosso e nero), anche i soli sono tre (alba, zenit e tramonto, dove però cambiano il colori, bianco, giallo ed infine rosso e corrispondenti alle declinazioni dello zolfo alchemico).

Inoltre in nessun mondo tradizionale o culturale, specie antico, è mai stato accettabile o affermata l'idea che la generazione della vita sia solo femminile, in quanto falsa ed infondata, negante una verità di natura che soprattutto nei mondi antichi, come quello celtico, ben si conosceva e nessuno avrebbe mai negato, ciò che genera è madre e padre insieme, ed al culmine della loro forza, luna crescente e sole allo zenit. Queste letture sono purtroppo macchiate da una evidente improvvisazione e scarsità di approfondimento propria del sedicente "neopaganesimo" che, spesso, pare ignorare come il trimorfismo del divino, sia mascolino che femminino, di derivazione astronomica, compaia anche in ambiente mediterraneo e sia molto più antico.

La vita, nel simbolismo, era e sarà sempre generata da mater e pater che, unendosi, generano (una delle letture del ternario richiamata da molte simbologie di deversi ambienti espresse dalla c.d. "Sacra Famiglia", come Iside, Osiride ed Horus, o Śiva, Pārvatī, Gaṇeśa, Maria, Giuseppe e Gesù), non potrà mai esser appannaggio solo di uno dei due estremi complementari, secondo il principio del Sator, il seminatore unito alla terra seminata, seme fecondo e terra fertile, espresso da mille immagini cui la triquetra può esser associata, come il nodo Savoia o nodo d'amore che esprime il principio di creazione.

La triquetra è una rappresentazione del ternario con tutto ciò che simbolicamente richiama da sempre e che rimanda (compreso in termini ritmici e rituali), nella cosmogonia antica al principio di creazione nella sua essenza e che si sostanzia nella emanazione dall'Uno immobile ed inconoscibile, rappresentato col fuoco elementale, che emana il due (dunque 1 + 2 = 3), il due che è già mondo della manifestazione, creatura e creato, e non creante, secondo il cui processo, dall'Uno che emana, come il calore dalla fiamma, dunque si ottiene direttamente il tre, secondo lo schema, recuperato in ambito cristiano nel principio trinitario, in realtà acquisizione teologica e cosmogonica molto più antica, di ambito mediterraneo, esportata poi e dunque accolta e fatta propria dal mondo celtico e molti altri.

Nelle rappresentazioni delle antiche popolazioni della Sicilia, VII-VI sec. a.C., appare come una triscele, un insieme di tre gambe unite all'anca.

Dal punto di vista della matematica può considerarsi una forma geometrica riconducibile ad un intreccio costituito da due nodi: si ottiene intrecciando in modo non semplificabile un nodo a trifoglio ed una curva chiusa semplice (cerchio, o nodo banale). La forma geometrica si ottiene presentando il suddetto intreccio in una figura sostanzialmente simmetrica, invariante per rotazioni di 120 gradi. La precedente figura viene anche semplificata nella corrispondente puramente bidimensionale (eliminando le distinzioni di sovrapposizione).

In araldica la triquetra ha la stessa topologia del cosiddetto nodo gordiano.

History of Spine Surgery
The history of spine surgery is intertwined with the history of orthopedic surgery. Though today orthopedics is an area of medicine focused on the musculoskeletal system, or the bones, the practice has its origins in pediatric care. The word orthopedic comes from two Greek words — ortho meaning "straight" and pedic meaning "child." The aim of early was to fix deformities in children so they would grow up to have strong, healthy bones.
Now, spine surgery is a specialty area of medicine that is more often practiced on adults. Whether due to injury or deterioration, many adults end up with back pain. Advances in orthopedic medicine make it possible to correct many of these problems and relieve the patient's pain.
The number one spine surgery procedure performed in hospitals is a spinal fusion — and it's rising. In 2007, 380,000 procedures were performed, but in 2011, the number of spinal fusions increased to 457,500. During this same period, diskectomies also increased, from 332,500 to 369,900 procedures.
The third most prevalent type of spine surgery is the insertion of a device, like an artificial disc or plates and rods. These insertions are often done in conjunction with a fusion.
These procedures are all possible due to modern advances in orthopedic surgery techniques, and the field of spine surgery continues to change. What was impossible a generation ago is now done successfully every day. Some modern spinal procedures no longer require hospitalization.
Laser Spine Surgery History
Fossil evidence shows that orthopedics was practiced in ancient times. Various civilizations understood the importance of straight bones and applied their own primitive techniques to assisting the healing of broken bones. Early splints were made or rawhide or clay and effectively held bones in place while they healed. Crutches were even fashioned to avoid weight-bearing.
The ancient Greeks attempted to treat club feet and scoliosis with their rudimentary understanding of bones. They understood these conditions in children could be corrected. Their remedies, especially for scoliosis, were not always successful, but their efforts suggested a crucial understanding of how bones transform with growth.
The 20th century brought some important improvements to orthopedic medicine. The X-ray help better determine the proper diagnosis, and better means of fighting infection meant more patients survived injuries and surgery. The concept of the ambulance rushing injured patients to medical care, perfected during the two world wars, also help orthopedic surgeons with better outcomes.
Through the mid-1900s, techniques for repairing broken bones were developed, partially through the experience of war. The amputation of badly damaged limbs was perfected, and procedures to repair difficult fractures also became more successful. The ability to repair hip fractures and replace damaged joints began to develop during this period.
Spinal surgery techniques also began to advance. The initial focus was on improving or repairing issues in the lumbar spine resulting from degenerative disc disease. Through the practice of removing lumbar hernias or repairing ruptured discs, doctors developed a better understanding of the discs that sit between vertebra in the spine.
Spinal surgery advanced from the lumbar spine to the cervical spine. Damaged discs were successfully removed from the cervical spine, although the risks of damage were greater in this upper region of the spine. Manipulation of the spinal cord in the lumbar region was considered safer and was to be avoided in the cervical spine.
In the 1970s, a new round of technological advances in medicine moved spinal surgery forward. Instruments for imaging and scanning the body improved diagnosis of spinal issues. The incorporation of a microscope and the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) made spinal surgery more precise.
Instruments were also introduced to spinal surgery in the 1970s and 1980s that allowed surgeons to better protect the spinal cord during surgery. By monitoring the functioning of the nerve roots and providing the surgeon with an early warning signal, these instruments could prevent damage to the spinal cord. While screws or plates were being set, the surgeon could be assured the spinal cord was protected.
Modern spinal surgical techniques are a result of increased understanding of the spinal cord and the central nervous system. Neuroscientists continue to study and learn more specifics about how the central nervous system operates to protect or repair the spinal cord.
Continued advancements in medical technology improve spinal surgery today. Better and more natural implant devices are available, along with more sophisticated tools for completing surgery. Spine surgeons are now able to repair or rebuild parts of the spine that may be damaged by injury or disease. The materials used are much closer to natural substances, and the devices behave much more like actual parts of your spine.
Fusion History
The spinal fusion technique gained popularity in the early 1900s as a response to tuberculosis. The procedure was used to correct a spinal deformity created by the tuberculosis infection. The result was also a decrease in lower back pain.
Spinal fusion was developed as a remedy for spinal instability resulting from degenerated discs. As it was initially developed in the early 1900s, fusion was accomplished by attaching a piece of bone taken from elsewhere in the body to the back of the spine. The bone was to fuse one vertebra to another, bridging the gap of a damaged disc.
Wiring was also sometimes used to repair broken vertebrae and hold the spine stable. This hardware approach worked until the hardware failed. In many cases, the bone graft approach to fusion also failed.
The modern spinal fusion technique makes use of both a bone graft and hardware to secure the spine. The hardware holds the spine in place until the graft can take hold. Once the graft is secure, it prevents the spine from moving and putting too much pressure on the hardware.
The problem with spinal instability is that it can impinge the spinal cord. The vertebrae are meant to stack on top of one another and not move laterally. When one or two vertebrae are allowed to slide to the side, the central space for the spinal cord narrows, and the cord is endangered.
A spinal fusion replaces the structural integrity of the spinal cord, whether it is damaged by a broken vertebra or a degenerated disc. By holding the spine is its natural stacked position, a fusion prevents sideways sliding, nerve impingement and back pain.
History of Minimally Invasive Surgery
It has long been understood that surgery recovery times can be improved by minimally invasive techniques. General anesthesia carries certain inherent risks. The longer a patient is under general anesthesia, the more difficult it can be to bring the patient out and resume normal vital signs.
While the use of general anesthesia revolutionized surgery and makes many procedures possible that could not be contemplated without it, numbing the area of surgery without making the patient unconscious is favorable when possible. Many minimally invasive procedures can be accomplished with a local anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. A conscious patient, in some cases, can even assist the surgical team by reporting sensations.
The other advantage to minimally invasive surgery is reduced recovery times that result from less muscle and tissue disturbance. Keeping incisions through skin and muscle small reduces the exposure to possible infection, and smaller incisions heal faster.
The key to developing minimally invasive spine surgical procedures was having the required technology. Surgeons still need to see the area they are on. With small incisions, instruments had to be developed that could be inserted to help the surgeon visualize the work.
Small incisions also preclude surgeons from working by hand. Since they cannot get to the spine with their hands, they needed tools that could fit in through the incisions and offer them the precision to manipulate the spine and the repair pieces.
Lumbar Disc Disease
Since open spine surgery was relatively successful and most patients tolerated it well, there was no rush to create minimally invasive procedures. Other areas of orthopedic surgery moved into minimally invasive techniques before they were adapted to spine surgery. The major developments in lumbar disc disease are:
1908 — First lumbar disk surgery performed
1964 — A chemical was developed to use as a nerve block in lieu of disc surgery
1975 — First procedure to partially remove a damaged disc through the skin
1983 — Discectomy procedure improved by use of new instruments and small incision
1985 — Disc decompression was achieved by partially removing disc material through the skin
1986 — instruments used in eye surgery were redesigned for minimally invasive spine procedures
The first area of focus was on lumbar disc disease. Operating on the lumbar spine was easier and less risky than the cervical spine and seemed an appropriate area for innovation. Lumbar disc disease was the prominent complaint, and surgeons attempted to adopt minimally invasive techniques to remove a damaged disc and relieve pressure on nerves in this region.
A chemical was developed that could be injected into the damaged disc that would dissolve part of the disc and relieve the pressure on the nerves. This treatment was used especially for sciatica, the painful compression of the sciatic nerve. The chemical injection could be given through the skin with just a local anesthesia.
This procedure was highly successful when used under the right conditions. Choosing the right patient was critical to success, but for those patients, it was a great relief. Other procedures for spinal decompression and pain relief were developed to work through the skin or with only a small incision.
Spine surgeons discovered that they could partially remove a damaged disc without opening the patient. A large tubular needle was inserted under local anesthesia to extract the disc material. This procedure was also effective. Over time, surgical instruments were developed for this specific purpose and visibility and accuracy increased.
Laser technology was developed and eventually applied to medical applications in the mid-1900s. The laser was used to assist with disc removal surgery. It was inserted through the skin with the needle and disintegrated the damaged disc. Short bursts of laser energy were applied to avoid overheating the surrounding tissue.
From the first laser disc removal procedure, laser technology in spine surgery has improved. Excessive heat is no longer a concern with the types of lasers used today. The laser assisted instruments evolved to be more precise and to improve visualization during the procedure. Here is a brief overview of laser spine surgery development:
1958 — Laser technology was developed
1984 — A saline manometer used to measure pressure between discs during laser procedure
1990 — Type of laser used for spine surgery was changed and it included an instrument for measuring pressure
1992 — A new type of laser was introduced for these procedures to be more precise
Current laser spine procedures pose less risk to the surrounding tissue and structures in the vicinity of the spine, especially the vena cava, aorta and iliac vessels that lie between the spine and the front of the body. A dye is injected into the discs so they are more visible, and the pulses of the laser can now be adjusted with greater precision, allowing very specific reshaping of the disc.
History of Disc Removal Techniques in Spine Surgery
The first minimally invasive disc removal procedure involved using existing equipment to draw material out of the disc with a big needle. Tools for this type of procedure were developed and refined in the late 1900s, similar to those used for arthroscopy joint surgery.
An instrument that is just 2.7 mm combines all the tools needed to diagnosis the problem and resolve it at once under local anesthesia. The tool carries a video camera to send images to a screen where the surgeon can visually assess the discs. Inflammation is removed with the same endoscope without removing and reinserting or inserting a second instrument.
Arthroscopic spine surgery presents some benefits over other procedures. It allows the surgeon to inspect the discs and other structures in the area that might be involved in nerve impingement. The procedure is also indicated for a variety of types of disc damage. Arthroscopy is not a successful technique for removing disc material that has migrated away from the disc space due to rupture.
Historic Spine Surgeries
Surgery on the spine is an intervention that began centuries ago. Most of the innovations in this field of medicine have happened in recent decades. As technology develops, it is applied to spine surgery with innovations and improved outcomes. Consider the advancement of technology for spine surgeries:
7th Century — First spine surgery in recorded history
1914 — The first surgery to correct scoliosis was performed in New York in 1914 by Dr. Hibbs. This surgical technique was used in France for at least 50 years before it came to the US.
1941 — Spinal fusion became a common spinal surgery
2000 — The first disc replacement surgery was performing in the US by Dr. Blumenthal
2010 — "Dirty Dancing" actress Jennifer Grey underwent four neck surgeries and then proclaimed herself pain-free for the first time since a 1987 car accident
2011 — Quarterback Peyton Manning underwent a controversial cervical spine surgery, then returned to football and won the Super Bowl in 2014
2012 — NBA player Dwight Howard underwent minimally invasive disc surgery and continues to be a standout player in the NBA
2014 — Pro-golfer Tiger Woods sustained an injury that required back surgery. After having part of a disc removed, Woods is back on the pro tour pain-free.
Professional athletes are perhaps the best example of the tremendous progress that spine surgery has made in recent years. In the 1950s, when President Kennedy underwent spine surgery to relieve pain caused by a football injury, his physical activity was severely limited. Following recovery from the surgery, he continued to experience some pain. He also had to wear a back brace and often used crutches in private.
Modern surgery techniques and a clearer understanding of how the spine works allow surgeons to relieve pain and return patients to the same level of activity they were used to. Minimally invasive procedures mean recovery time is shortened. Some procedures can even be performed on an outpatient basis or with a very short hospital stay.
Back Surgery Recovery Since 1950
Spine surgery was somewhat common in the 1950s but only for patients whose pain could not be relieved by any other means. More often, back pain was treated with strong painkillers and narcotics. Immobilization was often recommended for flare ups.
The standard approach to spine surgery in the 1950s was a large incision across the abdomen and through the body cavity to get to the spine. Surgeons had to disturb the intestines to gain access to the spine. Recovery time from this type of surgery was several weeks. Muscles were cut and had to heal, and there was a great risk of infection, both during the surgery as surgeons worked around the bowels and from the incision.
Spine surgery has come a long way from there. Today, many procedures are performed under local anesthesia without open incisions. Other surgeries may involve a small incision and general anesthesia, but recovery times are much more limited. Depending on the procedure, some patients go home the same day and are back to their normal activities within a week.
Modern spinal surgery techniques allow doctors to relieve back pain from most sources. Degenerative disc disease can almost always be repaired with a reduction or even complete elimination of pain. Vertebrae damaged by injury can be repaired or replaced. The spine can be fully stabilized using a fusion technique and a series of hardware specially adapted for spinal applications.
With the continuing advances in spine surgery, a patient's activity level can be improved or restored at any age with minimal downtime. There is almost no reason to live with debilitating back pain, whether from degenerative disc disease or injury.

Q: Add slideshow function to gallery using Jquery or javascript What I would like to achieve is a button on toggle that will trigger an automatic slideshow. Like a play/pause button.
I'm using an image gallery from html5up.net the template is here:
https://html5up.net/lens
The next image is currently triggered on click with:

Within the HTML the gallery appears as so, and clicking a thumb will activate the appropriate image.

I'm trying variations of attempts as such:
function slideSwitch() {
    var $active = $('.thumbnail');
    var $next = $active.next();

    $next.addClass('active');

    $active.removeClass('active');
}

$(function() {
    setInterval( "slideSwitch()", 5000 );
});

However have only achieved frustration at this point as I'm not sure what I'm missing.
Here's a minimal version of the gallery if you want to experiment:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/VWwVqd

A: Have you included the jQuery Plugin on your page head?

A: I managed to figure out the slideshow function like so:
$(function(){
        setInterval(function() {
            $('.nav-next').trigger('click');

Women's basketball puts No. 5 Baylor on the sidelines – archyde
Sport Links">
in the state of Missouri
WACO, Texas – The University of Missouri (8-1) women's basketball fell back to Baylor (8-1) in a tight competition with 70-68. The Tigers were even 11 behind them, but outnumbered the Bears in the second half with 41-34.
Aijha Blackwell filled the statistics again with 20 points and 16 rebounds. In the first half alone, Blackwell had 11 points and nine boards. The Bears led the break by nine points after NaLyssa Smith scored a goal on each of their last three possession of the ball in the second quarter.
The Tigers slowly diminished Baylor's leadership in the third quarter, reducing it to four by the end of the period. Haley Troop went on an 8-2 run alone to start the fourth quarter in what Mizzou wanted to set for his first lead of the evening at 60-57.
When NaLyssa Smith hit a layup at 60, Blackwell took her fourth foul of the night. A few possessions later, Blackwell was called on to a prosecution when she drove to the edge to end her night. Baylor finished a 12-0 run to put the score at 69-60 for the Bears. The Tigers weren't done yet, however.
Mizzou then made his own run with a three of Lauren Hansen, a short sweater by LaDazhia Williams and then another Hansen three. The 8-0 run brought the game to 69-68, with the Tigers only trailing by one.
Mizzou fouled Baylor twice and the Bears could only go 1-on-4 in their free-throw attempts, but the Tigers' last attempt failed.
Blackwell's double-double was her sixth of the season and her second game with 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Haley Troop ended the night with 16 points as Hansen added 10 to give the Tigers three double-digit players.
Troup also added six assists, one just below their season and career high.
Ladazhia Williams hit her career high with five rebounds and added six points.
Hayley Frank and Izzy Higginbottom each scored eight points in defeat.
Mizzou returns to the Missouri state next Friday. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN + in Springfield, Mon.

9437. And Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights. That this signifies what is complete in respect to instruction and influx, is evident from the signification of "forty," as being what is full or complete. That "forty" denotes what is full or complete, is because "four" denotes what is full (see n. 9103), in like manner "ten" (n. 3107, 4638), and the number forty arises from four multiplied into ten; for multiplied numbers signify the same as the simple numbers from which they have been multiplied (n. 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973). (That all numbers in the Word signify real things, see n. 575, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 6175.) It is from this then that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights. That "forty" here signifies what is complete in respect to instruction and influx, is plain from what follows in chapters 25 to 32, in which are recounted the things concerning which he was instructed, which were the ark, Aaron, the Urim and Thummim, and the sacrifices. That "forty" signifies what is complete as to influx also, is because from that time Moses began to represent the holy external of the Word, which mediates between the Lord and the people; and mediation is effected by influx through this holy external into the representative in which the people were (see n. 9419).
[2] As "forty" signified what is full or complete, therefore Moses remained on Mount Sinai not only on this occasion, but also on another, "forty days and forty nights" (Exod. 34:28; Deut. 9:18, 25; 10:10). And for this reason the sons of Israel wandered in the wilderness "forty years," until, as it is said, "all that generation was consumed" (Num. 14:33, 34; 32:13). And for this reason it was said by Jonah to the Ninevites that "the city would be overthrown after forty days" (Jonah 3:4). And for this reason the prophet was commanded "to lie on the right side, and to bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days" (Ezek. 4:6). For this reason also it is said of Egypt that it should be surrendered to "an utter solitude forty years, and after those years should be gathered together from the peoples" (Ezek. 29:11-13). And for this reason "it rained upon the earth, so that it was inundated with a flood, forty days and forty nights" (Gen. 7:4, 12, 17). From this it is evident why it was decreed that a wicked man should be "beaten with forty stripes" (Deut. 25:3); for "forty stripes" signified punishment to the full. From this it is also evident what is meant in the prophetic song of Deborah and Barak, that "there was neither shield nor spear seen in the forty thousands of Israel" (Judges 5:8); "in the forty thousands of Israel" denotes in all. It is evident also from this why the temple built by Solomon was "forty cubits long" (1 Kings 6:17); in like manner the new temple described in Ezekiel (41:2); for by "the temple," in the supreme sense, is signified the Lord; in the internal sense, heaven and the church; and thus by "forty," what is complete in respect to representation. In like manner in other passages.
after complete days denotes deut evident external ezek forty four full holy influx instruction israel jonah lord manner moses mountain multiplied nights numbers people reason respect sense signified signifies signify stripes temple thousands word years

Is SLAYER Truly Done Touring? LAMB OF GOD's MARK MORTON Weighs In
Having toured extensively with SLAYER in the last few years, LAMB OF GOD guitarist Mark Morton was asked during a recent appearance on "That Jamieson Show" if he thinks the California thrash metal veterans are truly "done" playing live or if he thinks we haven't seen the last of them. Morton responded (see video below): "I'm probably out of pocket here, but if I had to bet, I'd bet somewhere there's gonna be another show. But that's not inside information. They're saying they're done. But, man, we've just seen this happen so many times that… I'll put it this way: I hope we see another show. I hope we do."
SLAYER played its final concert on November 30, 2019 at the Forum in Los Angeles. One day later, Ayesha King, wife of SLAYER guitarist Kerry King, said that there is "not a chance in hell" that the thrash metal icons will reunite for more shows following the completion of their farewell tour.
Back in April 2018, Tom Araya's wife said that he had not questioned his decision to embark on one final SLAYER tour before the band called it quits.
Sandra Araya, who has been married to the SLAYER frontman for more than 20 years, told the Metal Pulp And Paper web site that the announcement that the band was pulling the plug on its nearly four-decade-long career didn't come as a surprise to her. "Not to me," she said. "I can't comfortably go into too much detail. I'll just leave it with a no."
Asked if the decision to end SLAYER was a difficult one for Tom and Kerry to make, Sandra said: "Tom never second-guesses any decision he makes. I have no idea about Kerry."
Sandra also confirmed that she and Tom had "some ideas and plans" for how they plan to spend their post-SLAYER years, although she did not offer any details.
When SLAYER first announced that it was embarking on its final tour back in January 2018, Ayesha assured fans that they would "always get music" from her husband.
King has said in previous interviews that his post-SLAYER musical efforts would not be much different from the sound fans have grown accustomed to hearing from him.

Meta-Abilities: power to affect reality and surrounding areas, bend all physical and scientific laws to his whim.
Thomas Jonathan Harrington's history is rather vague as much detail about his life is currently missing or has been redacted by the federal government per presidential order.
See File #X01-EYES ONLY, PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
Harrington became the super human terrorist Avatar shortly after the arrival of the super team known as the Frontiersmen. Avatar's goals were simple: Ensure meta-human superiority and remove non-powered humans from positions of power. His desire to ensure planetary conquest was driven by an almost obsessive desire to defeat and kill Telestrike, Jake Santiago, and leader of the Frontiersmen. There is record to date that shows both men were actually very close friends but an incident in their personal lives caused a severe rift, which developed both into rivalry and finally with the manifestation of their own powers, hatred. Before his powers, Harrington was an Olympic level tri-athletic scheduled to preform in the Olympics. When the first Genergy incursion began, Harrington manifested his powers and was forced out of the Olympics. Harrington was also a certified genius, excelling in both math and science. He also minored in the political sciences before his gained his powers.
There is very little data on how Harrington manifested his powers, but ii is assumed it was under duress, as many of the other meta-humans have shown similar cases of powers developing in states of high anxiety, panic, or even anger. What is known is that shortly after his abilities arrived, he became the world's first super powered villain, calling himself Avatar. Avatar went on for years to torment citizens of the world and to fight the Frontiersmen on a continual basis eventually becoming the arch-fore of the Frontiersmen.
Avatar's last appearance was during the United Nations affair when his final battle with the Frontiersmen led to not only his utter defeat but the destruction of the New York United Nations' but also the thousands of deaths of many UN representatives he ahs held hostage. What happened to cause the explosion was unknown, but reports show that Avatar lost a pitched battle with Telestrike and before he could be secured, Avatar gambled one last time focusing all his power in one succinct blast. At this time, the Frontiersmen were teleported away from the United Nations by the off world alien organization known as the Continuum. Avatar's power blast went unchecked. Cross-reference with files below.
Cross-reference File #401 OMEGA: Meta-Human Explosion.
See referent file #G001: Genergy.
See Referent File #666: Frontiersmen Disband.
He has no limitations dealing with animate (living) and inanimate (non-living) objects.
He needs to see and object before he can alter it, once left alone, the object tends to change back to normal.
With additional concentration, he has been able to permanently alter objects to his will; this tends to drain him both physically and emotionally.
Harrington was incarcerated away from humanity in a special location called 'The Tower." Using advanced technology to inhibit his powers, Harrington serves as a living scientific tool to determine the true nature of the Meta humans' powers. By presidential order, additional information on Avatar requires White House approval.

Hedeby était un important établissement de Vikings du Danemark et de Varègues de Suède, situé au sud du Danemark, près de la frontière carolingienne. La localité était une ville au haut Moyen-Âge et un important comptoir commercial pour le commerce de longue distance entre la Scandinavie, l'Europe de l'Ouest, les pays riverains de la Mer du Nord et les pays baltes.

Hedeby se trouve sur la péninsule des Cimbres, au fond de la Schlei, entre la Mer du Nord et la Mer Baltique. Le site est aujourd'hui en Allemagne, le terrain faisant partie de la commune de Busdorf, près de Schleswig, dans l'arrondissement de Schleswig-Flensbourg.

Le site abandonné depuis plus de neuf siècles de Hedeby est, avec le Danevirke, le plus important vestige archéologique du Schleswig-Holstein.

Toponymie

Historique

Après les "grandes invasions", au cours desquelles beaucoup d'Angles et de Saxons émigrèrent vers l'Angleterre, des Jutes et des Danois vinrent du nord sur la Schlei et la baie d'Eckernford dans la première moitié du huitième siècle. La zone semble avoir été encore peu densément peuplé à cette époque. Hedeby fut fondée au plus tard vers 770 et devint très tôt le plus important centre commercial des Danois. La ville est protégée par un rempart de terre qui a encore 5 à 10 m de hauteur et délimite une superficie de 24 ha. Une palissade de bois protège le port des attaques maritimes. Les maisons de bois rectangulaires abritent des ateliers d'artisans nombreux, répartis en groupes spécialisés, qui travaillent le verre, l'os et la corne et fondent le bronze. Hedeby exporte des objets artisanaux fabriqués sur place. C'est un important marché aux esclaves. Un espace est réservé aux marchands, qui campent à même la place du marché. Les textes anciens s'accordent pour présenter Hedeby (appelée aussi Sliaswic ou Sliesthrop) comme la ville la plus peuplée de Scandinavie.

Le comptoir de Hedeby est pillé et brûlé en 1050 par les Norvégiens de Harald Haardraade. Sliaswik (Schleswig) assume désormais son rôle dans la région.

Le site « Ensemble archéologique frontalier de Hedeby et du Danevirke » est inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 2018.

PNE plans €1.6bn investment in renewables over five years
21 November 2022 by Ian Griggs
German renewable power company PNE will invest €1.6bn in its own portfolio over the next five years to fund a massive scale-up of renewable deployment.
The investment will be a combination of external project financing and its own funds, the company said.
During the same five-year period, PNE AG said it also intends to expand its renewables pipeline to 20GW, which will be comprised of 10GW offshore projects, 2GW offshore projects and 8GW of solar PV.
The company said its ambition was to produce around 1.5GW of electricity generation from its own operations by 2025, from 283MW today.

KATHMANDU - A 30-year-old French climber has fallen to his death on a mountaineering trip in Nepal's Everest region, police said Sunday.
The climber and a friend were returning from an unsuccessful attempt to scale the 6,476-metre (21,247-foot) high Mera peak on Friday evening when he lost his footing and fell about 50 metres, an officer said.
"His friend called on locals for help but when they reached him he was already dead," Chandra Dev Rai, police chief of Solukhumbu district, told AFP.
"A team of local police carried his body down to Lukla (town) yesterday." The French Embassy in Kathmandu has been informed and arrangements have been made to airlift the body to Nepal's capital, he said.
December closes the peak climbing and trekking season in the Himalayan nation, home to eight of the world's 14 highest mountains.
The region was hit by tragedy this year, with more than 40 hikers killed in a massive snowstorm in the popular Annapurna circuit in October.
Hundreds of climbers also abandoned plans to ascend Everest in April after an avalanche struck the world's highest mountain, claiming the lives of 16 Nepalese guides, making the accident the deadliest day on the 8,848-metre-high peak.

Meaning - Were is the past tense of the verb are. Look at this example of were used in a sentence. In present tense, this sentence would say. Since were means the same as the past tense of are in this sentence, it is the correct word to use.
What's the meaning of the phrase 'Which is which'? - often expressed as a question, asking for help in distinguishing two similar things or people.
They are: who, which, whom, what and whose. ... We use who as a relative pronoun to introduce a relative clause about people: … Whom. Whom is the object form of who. We use whom to refer to people in formal styles or in writing, when the person is the object of the verb.
In which is why, which is a relative pronoun. That in that is why is usually the subject of a sentence or a clause that can stand alone: I want to be involved in town government, and that is why I'm running for mayor. My mother always gives me good advice, so that is why I need to ask her opinion.
It depends on what you mean. "Which is better" is comparing two or more of something and asking for someone's opinion. This sentence could accept several as being best of the group. "Which one is better" narrows the choice to one.
The technical differences between more/most and better/best are that more/most generally deals with issues of quantity while better/best deals with issues of quality. In informal English, though, either would be perfectly acceptable to use with the verb "to like".
The possessive pronoun "one's" requires an apostrophe before the S, unlike "its," "hers," and other personal pronouns. ... The only times "ones" has no apostrophe are when it is being used to mean "examples" or "people" as in "ripe ones" or "loved ones," or in the informal arithmetical expression "the ones column."
To me, "Was that movie any good" means "it didn't look good to me but I'd like to hear your opinion." Can't think of a way to use the phrase "any good" outside of a question. So when asked "Is that any good?" a person would reply that it's good/bad, but not that it's "any good."
adjective, bet·ter, best. morally excellent; virtuous; righteous; pious: a good man. satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree: a good teacher; good health.
The word for गुड in english is jaggery. Jaggery or gur, is made from unrefined sugar, automatically making it a healthier and better version of white sugar.
For diabetes patients, consuming jaggery instead of sugar may not be a good choice, say dietitians. Jaggery, they say, has high glycemic index and should be avoided. Instead, they can have unrefined honey as a substitute for sugar.

Best time of year to visit: June to September.
Tanjung Puting National Park has several ecosystem types: lowland tropical rain forest, dryland forest, freshwater swamp forest, mangrove forest, coastal forest, and secondary forest.
The Park is dominated by lowland forest plants like jelutung (Dyera costulata), ramin (Gonystylus bancanus), meranti (Shorea sp.), keruing (Dipterocarpus sp.), and rattans.
Endangered and protected species of animal inhabiting the Park include the orang utan (Pongo satyrus), proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), maroon leaf monkey (Presbytis rubicunda rubida), sun bear (Helarctos malayanus euryspilus), lesser Malay mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus klossii), clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), and leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis borneoensis).
This Park was the first place in Indonesia to become a rehabilitation centre for orang utans. There are now three orang utan rehabilitation locations, Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tanggui, and Camp Leakey.
The orangutan of Kalimantan has dark reddish fur and no tail. As they get older, the adult malescheeks flesh out, resembling cushions. The older they get, the bigger these cheek flanges grow, giving them a fierce look.
Tanjung Harapan: This is the first station in the orang utan rehabilitation process. Situated in the midst of secondary forest and swamp forest, it has a guesthouse, an information centre, and trails.
Pondok Tanggui: Orang utans that have passed the semi-wild phase are moved to Pondok Tanggui. There, they are closely monitored from a distance, and human contact is avoided.
Camp Leakey: Founded in 1971 in the middle of primary forest, this is the location for semi-wild and wild orangutans, and for younger orang utans from birth until three years of age.
Natai Lengkuas: Bekantan research station, and watching other animals along the river.
Buluh River and Danau Burung (Bird Lake): Watching birds, in particular migrant species.
Among the cultural attractions outside the Park is a traditional rowing contest held in Pangkalan Bun in May.
Jakarta-Semarang-Pangkalan Bun by plane, or from Semarang to Pangkalan Bun by ship. Pangkalan Bun-Kumai by car (8 km). Then, Kumai-Tanjung Harapan by motorized longboat, 1.5-2 hours; or Kumai-Natai Lengkuas, 4-5 hours; Kumai-Tanjung Harapan by fast motor boat, 0.5-1 hour; Kumai-Camp Leakey, 1.5-2 hours; or from Kumai-Natai Lengkuas, 1.5-2 hours.


I recently conducted a rigorous research study on how key stakeholders in an organization make sense of a seemingly intractable complex challenge exacerbated by human dynamics issues. The current economic mess is a wicked tangle because it involves multiple stakeholders, each with a different view of the situation. Each stakeholder not only has their own interests, but also a different idea of how the situation should be solved. The photo above gives a snapshot of the myriad of stakeholders enmeshed in this wicked tangle. When faced with wicked corporate tangles, it is helpful to draw a picture of all of the stakeholders, and identify their positions and underlying interests.


This week's Good Things are anything but ordinary. We started the week with a quick trip to Brighton, which included amazing food, sunshine and a dip in the sea, and ended it equally amazing with a beautiful wedding, more delicious food and some quality time with family and friends back in Denmark. I will be spending the day soaking up the last bit of Danish summer for now, before heading back to London tonight. Here's a few snaps from the past week.

Domino Park Nears Public Debut As Crane Rises for COOKFOX-Designed 260 Kent Avenue
Masterplan look for the Domino Sugar Factory Redevelopment, rendering courtesy Two Trees
By: Andrew Nelson 8:00 am on April 9, 2018
In less than eight weeks, the Domino Sugar Factory's redevelopment is expected to open up six acres of landscaped public space on 1,200 feet of the Williamsburg waterfront. Two Trees Management is developing the land, immediately north of the Williamsburg Bridge. The master plan includes square-arch motifs in three of the four new buildings, indicative of this project's relationship with the bridge as the gateway to North Brooklyn. The public space has been designed by James Corner Field Operations, who also designed the new High Line Park.

SHoP Architects are responsible for the 3,300,000 square foot master plan, which will create 2,100 market-rate rental apartments, and 700 affordable units for low-income people. 600,000 square feet of office space will be included, as well as 200,000 square feet of retail. PAU is leading the refinery's design. Completion is expected in the early 2020's.

The construction of the COOKFOX-designed 260 Kent Avenue on the northern end of the site has also started making noticeable progress. Once complete, it will be the second residential building to open in the development, the first being the SHoP Architects-designed 325 Kent Avenue. The site's crane was recently installed, and foundational work is progressing. All this indicates that the structure is getting ready to go vertical in the very near future. Once complete, the 42-story building will create 330 apartments.

The green space is opening for public use well before completion of the sugar factory offices and the three residential buildings. This was done to fulfill a commitment Two Trees made to the community, highlighting the team's commitment to integrate the new high-rise development with the extant neighborhood. A Two Trees representative, in response to a question regarding the decision to have rental units, stated that "Condos finish after the first sale. Rental units require a long-term commitment to the neighborhood to maintain the value of the property."
This assurance is in large part why the developers decided to make the park as usable and accommodating as possible while acknowledging the site's history.
The Domino Park will be bordered by a privately-funded road named River Street, which will be open to cars and bicycles as soon as eight weeks from now. It is expected to see light traffic, minimizing the impact on the flow of the area.

Starting from the southern end, visitors to the 260,000 square-foot landscaped space will walk through a Japanese Pine garden, which will lead them to an 80-100 person picnic area and the Artifact Walk, a functional outdoor gallery referencing the sugar factory's history as a refinery satisfying international demand from 1856 to 2004.

A taco and margarita stand named Tacocina will be located at the northern base of a 585-foot long elevated walkway attached to the remnants of the Raw Sugar Warehouse.

That warehouse had been the site for the widely admired Kara Walker sugar Sphinx sculptural installation. The Artifact Walk repurposes discovered machinery to add to the landscaping, including the screw conveyor parts depicted below.

Perhaps most exciting was the recently installed children's play structure, designed by artist Mark Reigelman, clearly evocative of the refinery history.

Much of the waterfront esplanade has been installed. Trees have already been planted on site, and perennials, lawns are coming soon. At this point, most of the land has been prepared and is just waiting for the finishing touches.

Please pardon me for using your space: I cared every spot because I'm excited on massive progress.

You call this a park?
Well, that's what happened when a bunch of architects take over the design of non-building areas…

That industrial looking playground by Mark Reigelman is simply brilliant – perhaps the best design for the entire development.
This will be the second new residential tower built right next to a suspension bridge with nearly non-stop subway trains screeching by. Why anyone would pay to live adjacent to that noise is a real mystery.

This is horrible. 41 stories is about 33 1/2 stories TOO high for the neighbourhood. Good bye ( again ) Williamsburg you are gone

I think it should be fun and there is a lot of green space.
The LANDSCAPE architects (people who design parks… distinction from architects…) James Corner Field Op are an amazing bunch of talented people so im excited to see what they've come up with. It also looks like the best place to relax in williamsburg.. way better than McCarren Park.
The height of the buildings though is a bit iffy… its like dumbo 2.0

Waterfront parks are great because they feature the skyline and give you a feeling of space. The rivers make NYC special. But you know what's even more special than parks? Affordable housing. The monstrous futuristic edifices surrounding this park (and all of Brooklyn) are an insult to every working and middle-class New Yorker whose neighborhoods are being gentrified beyond recognition. I predict the next "park" will be called Squatters Park. Maybe our progressive mayor can make a deal with LLBean to distribute tents and portable heaters at a discount so we can be nice and cozy in the middle of January.

Marshmallow Update for Sprint HTC One M9 Continues, Successor HTC Perfume to Release Soon!
The official Android 6.0 Marshmallow has finally been rolled out by Sprint for the HTC One M9 via an OTA update. The updates will continue to roll until all Sprint HTC One M9 devices have received it. At the same time, the release for AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular and T-Mobile are coming soon as well; ready to be released this month.
It was already announced on Twitter last month that One M9 for Sprint would start receiving the update and just a week later, it began. The update is expected come in the next few days or weeks to One M9 units of other carriers. Canadian carriers took the first pilot release for the Android 6.0 update for One M9 devices.
Two major improvements in Android Run Time and flex storage have been introduced with other notable features and added improvements. Ever since its debut in Android v4.4.4 KitKat, the Android Run Time feature has seen prominent improvements.
It was still an optional feature back then. In order to advance performance and help in the management of RAM usage, Android RT revolved with a default setting instead of Dalvik cache with Lollipop release.
With Marshmallow, the feature will further improve the performance of the device and at the same time, help in controlling the battery consumption as well. During the first maintenance release of Marshmallow, the feature is expected to bring further improvements as well.
Flex storage is actually a combined storage feature for both internal and external space. Therefore, this makes it applicable only to devices with a microSD card.
The external memory can be formatted with Marshmallow. After that, it can be pooled to internal storage and this makes users utilize in order to install apps and app data. Keep in mind that slower memory card may also trigger a low-speed warning.
The release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for HTC One M9 started on 5th February for the owners having subscribed to Sprint services in the US. The rollout actually commenced on 5th February and it will reach M9 users in phases.
The HTC One M9 has been dubbed as the twin of iPhone 6 and it is also the first HTC to receive the Marshmallow update. The new update will be suggested through an automatic notification and it will bring the M9's firmware version to 3.41.651.3. In case you do not receive the update, you can also check for it manually.
In order to do that, you need to go to settings> System Updates> HTC Software Update >Check now. If the device states that the software update is up to date, you need to be patient as the update would seed in the next few days.
If the update is available, you can select the option. However, you have to make sure that you have enough storage space for the download. Before this, only the unlocked One M9 units in the US were seeded for the update in December 2015.
At the same time, some Canadian variants also reported about receiving the update for the One M9. Meanwhile, the successor to the One M9, the HTC One M10 has been dubbed as the HTC Perfume and it is expected to debut in March this year. It will come with Android 6.0 Marshmallow pre-installed.
Keep in mind that HTC probably doesn't have the same advertising budget as that of Apple and Samsung but even then, they have managed to sell a lot of HTC One devices, thanks to their flat out quality.

Today was our annual trip to Trax Farms, south of the city.
Hayrides, caramel apples, and pumpkins galore.
We took Abby on her first hayride with Gramma, Grandpa and Aunt D!
On our way our the door, we grabbed some squash for dinner.
I love stuffed squash. Or stuffed anything for that matter. Food being served in it's own natural container makes me smile.
We tried to pick squash on the smaller side, but that was not going to happen. Half a squash was wayyyyy more than enough for one person. Leftovers for the win!
Talk about a hearty, simple fall meal. Stuffed to the brim.
Veggie and cheese packed stuffed squash.
Carefully cut Squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and loose flesh. Brush cut side all over with Olive Oil and season with Salt & Pepper. Arrange the 4 halves, cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast until Squash is tender, about 35 minutes.
Once roasted, let the squash rest until cool enough to handle.
Meanwhile heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Remove casing on sausage and add to skillet making sure to break up as it cooks. Once the sausage has browned and cooked through, 5-10 minutes, remove and set aside.
Pour off all but about a tablespoon of fat from pan, reduce heat to medium, and add the diced Onions. Cook until onions are translucent. Add the Garlic, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the Spinach, a few handfuls at a time, stirring until wilted, continue until all Spinach has been added. Add the tomato sauce, bring to a simmer.
Scoop the squash from the skin and add to the simmering sauce mixture. Stir well to combine.
Divide the stuffing evenly between the four skins. Place on a baking sheet and top with the Mozzarella. Broil until the cheese has melted and started to develop brown spots. Top with Basil leaves and serve warm.


Proto-Norse was an Indo-European language spoken in Scandinavia that is thought to have evolved from Proto-Germanic over the first centuries AD. It is the earliest stage of a characteristically North Germanic language, and the language attested in the oldest Scandinavian Elder Futhark inscriptions, spoken ca. from the 3rd to 7th centuries (corresponding to the later Roman Iron Age and the earlier Germanic Iron Age).
In the period 500–800, two great changes occurred within Proto-Norse. Umlauts appeared which means that a vowel was influenced by the succeeding vowel or semi-vowel, e.g. Old Norse gestr (guest) came from Proto-Norse ȝastiz (guest). Umlauts also resulted in the appearance of the new vowels y (e.g. fylla from *fullian) and œ (e.g. dœma from *dōmian).
Proto-Norse evolved into the dialects of the Old Norse language at the beginning of the Viking Age.

In December 2015, Stonehenge provided State and Federal NMTC financing for the construction of a new corporate headquarters for ProMedica, a Toledo based non-profit health care system. The company was looking to consolidate its corporate employees who were scattered throughout over a dozen sites around Toledo.
This project, located in a highly distressed area of downtown Toledo, involves the renovation of a historic steam plant building that had been vacant since 1985. The new downtown campus development will create nearly 300 construction jobs and 600 new full-time jobs during the first five years while also retaining approximately 900 full-time jobs. The 1,500 total workers will commute to downtown Toledo on a daily basis and will support local businesses by spending money downtown thus increasing the tax base for the city. The closing also provided an opportunity for the Community Development and Tax Credit Services business lines to work together as the TCS group assisted with the sourcing and closing of the Federal and State HTCs that were an important component of the project's capital stack.
See the attached article referencing this project.


Honest Burgers is a trendy and fast growing restaurant chain in London. They have developed somewhat of a cult following around their growing number of London restaurants selling honest and delicious burgers and rosemary salted chips.
Honest Burgers' old clipboard waiting list system did not fit with the core values as a transparent, trendy and highly customer service focussed restaurant.
The process of calling each customer by phone to ask them to return was extremely time consuming. Customers were uncertain about the wait and often complained they'd been waiting long than they had and returned to the restaurant before Honest Burgers were ready to seat them.
Honest Burgers use Qudini's Restaurant Waitlist App to allow their host managing the door to greet customers with an iPad to take their details into the digital waitlist.
The customers will receive a text confirming they are on the waitlist with an Honest Burgers branded queue tracker weblink, where they can keep an eye on their position and view the Honest burgers menu whilst they wait in a nearby pub. If the customer wishes to cancel they can text back any time.
Meanwhile the host can manage all their customers in a simple intuitive interface, letting customers know when their table is ready at the click of a button.


The hypothesis for this project is that using liposomal bupivacaine will reduce patients' morphine equivalent usage postoperatively while maintaining similar pain scores and lengths of stay when compared to patients that did not receive intraoperative liposomal bupivacaine. Thus, if the use of liposomal bupivacaine proves to aid in pain control and the reduction of initial opiate use following soft tissue sarcoma resection, it could be reasonably suggested that liposomal bupivacaine become incorporated into a multimodal form of pain management following soft tissue sarcoma resection. These results are expected to have a significant positive impact; allowing for a reduction in narcotic pain medication usage and its associated side effects while decreasing health care expenditures.
Qualified participants with a soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh will be given the alternative protocol utilizing liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel®). The alternative protocol will utilize general or spinal anesthesia, but will also include the use of intraoperative liposomal bupivacaine instead of a regional nerve block.
A 25 gauge or larger bore needle will be used to inject the liposomal bupivacaine at the site of operation following the prescription guidelines provided by Exparel®. The maximum dose allowable for this study is 266mg or 20 mL as indicated in the FDA package insert.
A retrospective control group will be assembled from electronic medical records of 3 patients who underwent resection of a soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh and will be accessed and analyzed for the variable of interest.
Feasibility of Exparel for post surgical pain management in soft-tissue sarcoma surgeries of the thigh will be defined as peak pain score measured by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) less than 7. VAS scores range 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain). Higher scores denote worse outcome measures.
Peak pain scores will be measured by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) which is printed on the Post-Operative Pain and Medication Administration questionnaire. VAS ranges 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain). Higher scores denote worse outcome measures.
The opioid medications that the subject uses will be recorded and the data regarding total narcotic usage will be converted to MME to maintain a standard unit for the study.
Number of surgical-related infection will be documented by use of Treatment Follow-Up Form and Adverse Event Log.
Average pain scores will be measured by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). VAS ranges 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain). Higher scores denote worse outcome measures.
History of clinically significant medical conditions including: Cardiovascular: Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular Fibrillation, Significant Coronary Artery Disease. Hepatic: Viral or Autoimmune Hepatitis, Cirrhosis of the Liver, Liver Metabolism Disorders. Renal: Any form of renal impairment. EXPAREL® is cleared by the kidneys, thus any form of renal impairment could lead to an adverse reaction.
Medical condition(s) or concurrent surgery that may have required analgesic treatment in the postoperative period for pain that was not strictly related to the study surgery.
Any clinically significant event or condition discovered during surgery that may have complicated the patient's post surgical course such as vascular or nerve involvement that was unknown before surgery.
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to liposomal bupivacaine.
Pregnant women are excluded from this study because EXPAREL has the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with EXPAREL, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with EXPAREL.

Haught, John F. (2006). Is Nature Enough?: Meaning and Truth in the Age of Science. Cambridge University Press.
Is nature all there is? John Haught examines this question and in doing so addresses a fundamental issue in the dialogue of science with religion. The belief that nature is all there is and that no overall purpose exists in the universe is known broadly as 'naturalism'. Naturalism, in this context, denies the existence of any realities distinct from the natural world and human culture. Since the rise of science in the modern world has had so much influence on naturalism's intellectual acceptance, the author focuses on 'scientific' naturalism and the way in which its defenders are now attempting to put a distance between contemporary thought and humanity's religious traditions. Haught seeks to provide a reasonable, scientifically informed alternative to naturalism. His approach will provide the basis for lively discussion among students, scholars, scientists, theologians and intellectually curious people in general.

Inside Out | Movie Review
The latest confoundingly creative masterpiece from veteran Pixar director Pete Docter ("Up") is a magnificent achievement. It's by far the best film Pixar has made since "Toy Story 3": for the sheer scope of its vision and the genius of its execution, "Inside Out" is unmatched in Pixar's pantheon. Ostensibly centered on 11-year-old girl Riley Anderson's psychological turmoil after moving from Minnesota to San Francisco, "Inside Out" emphasizes the reciprocal relationships between her anthropomorphized emotions.

Ex Machina | Movie Review
Artificial intelligence is clearly the menace of the cinematic hour. The old menace posed by the Skynet of the "Terminator" franchise has taken on additional credibility in the era of "big data," which offers the possibility of algorithmic analysis on a heretofore undreamt-of scale. Alex Garland's recent thriller "Ex Machina," however, trades guns for words and explosions for psychological turbulence, raising fundamental questions within a deeply intimate context. "Ex Machina" opens as Caleb Smith (Domhnall
A Defense of Nagel, Part IV
The Problem of Consciousness for the Corpuscular Cosmos The biologist Kenneth Miller gives a charitable response to Nagel by interpreting him to say there are fundamental issues, like consciousness, which makes the materialist program in biology face obstacles it will not overcome in the near future. Nagel's book today, Miller says, parallels Erwin Schrödinger's book, What is Life? in 1956. According to Miller, Schrodinger said "that our then-current understanding of physics was incapable of explaining

En la mitología griega, Calquinia (Καλχινία) era una princesa de Sición, hija del rey Leucipo.

Fue amante del dios Poseidón, con el que tuvo un hijo llamado Pérato, que fue educado por su abuelo. Leucipo, que no tenía hijos varones, depositó en su nieto todas sus ilusiones y le nombró su heredero.

The genre of self-commentary has an age-old history. It has also borne rich fruit in Russia in the past. Let us merely recall The Explanations of Derzhavin's Works, compiled by himself. There have been cases when poets made their own works the object of research. Thus, among the poets whose rhythm was studied by the author of Symbolism, was Andrej Belyj himself. Another book of his, Gogol''s "Craftsmanship", includes the chapter, "Gogol' and Belyj".
Philologica intends, as far as possible, to revive this tradition. To encourage, in every way possible, philological reflection by poets and prose-writers, the editors introduce a new section, Commentarii, which is designed for such materials. The first attempt at collaboration between poet and philologist is an authorized commentary on Timur Kibirov's poem, The Forest School (1986). This is one of the most significant achievements of poetic conceptualism, and, according to some experts, it is one of Kibirov's best works. Like many other poems of the Moscow conceptualists, Kibirov's verses almost verge on the cento: as is revealed in the commentary, one way or another quotations and paraphrases take up almost half the text. Recognition of quotations (which is necessary for an adequate understanding) is impeded by the fact that Kibirov is, to a large extent, orientated to mass culture, rather than elite culture. However, the language of the pop-culture of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s rapidly becomes out-dated, and so too does the language of The Forest School. The poem cannot thus become worse, but it becomes less comprehensible. With social changes, many signs have not only already lost their referent, but also their signification: to reconstruct it, special efforts are required, and one can only rejoice that the philologist and the poet have undertaken them together.
