In the heart of Lolland, the Maribo Lakes - Maribosøerne - lie in one of Denmark's most outstanding natural areas. It is a unique nature park of international interest. The Maribo Lakes and their surrounding reed beds, marshes, meadows, and broadleaved forest constitute an area of extremely high biological interest because of the unique plant, bird and animal life found there. There are many cultural and historic attractions and ancient remains in the area.
The Maribo Lakes Nature Park comprises four lakes: Soendersoe, Roegboelle, Hjerede, and Noerresoe. Together with the surrounding land, they constitute an ecological and cultural/historic whole. Soendersoe is Denmark's eighth largest lake (852 hectares). Surrounding the lakes are large manor houses with woodlands, cultivated fields and fallow farmland, in some places free-standing oaks.
The concept of the Maribo Lakes Nature Park was introduced by the County of Storstroem in 1991 in cooperation with the four surrounding municipalities of Maribo, Holeby, Sakskoebing, and Nysted together with the local landowners. The purpose was to underline the great natural and cultural/historical importance of the area and to focus on its use and protection.
In Denmark today, efforts are made to create a number of national parks. Moens Klint on Falster is one of the pilot project areas. The creation of the Maribo Lakes Nature Park as a regional nature park was a forerunner for this kind of thinking.
The Maribo Lakes is one of the most highly classified natural areas in Denmark. The lakes have a rich bird population and, besides being protected by the EU Birds Directive, they have also been designated a Ramsar site. To protect animals, plants and fungi and their biotopes the area is also protected by the EU Habitats Directive. Traces of settlements date as far back as the Stone Age. In 2000, the Maribo Wildlife Preserve was created, which restricts access and use of the area, including limitations on sailing and hunting.
Soendersoe is the largest of the Maribo lakes, with a water area of 852 hectares and a shoreline 32 kilometers long. It consists of three basins and has more islands than any other lake in Denmark: 13 islands, 6 islets and 3 bog islets. The average depth is 1.7 metres and the greatest depth is 5 metres.
Roegboelle Soe is a 197 hectare lake with four forested islands. The average depth is 1 metre, but small holes can be as deep as 4 metres. Almost sealed off from Roegboelle Soe's southeastern corner is the Soerup Soe with an additional 8 hectares.
Hejrede has an area of 51 hectares, with an average depth of 90 centimeters and holes of up to 3.5 metres deep.
Noerresoe has an area of 40 hectares, an average depth of 1.3 metre and holes up to 3.3 metres deep.
The Maribo lakes' roots reach far back in history. Traces of habitation from the Stone Age and almost 3000 year-old mounds from the Bronze Age lie spread around the area. There are also remains from an Iron Age fortification and traces of several medieval castles.
The town of Maribo is closely associated with Queen Margrethe I of Denmark and with the Bridgettine cloister built on the site of the present Cathedral. The two large manor estates, Engestofte and Soeholt, dominated the area for centuries right up to the present, when they have been combined under a single owner.
Efforts are being made to preserve traces of our most recent history, for instance the living hedge of pollarded poplars at Alsoe and the village pond in Bursoe. In the woods there are traces of a form of a coppice forest, now obsolete but maintained by Maribo Municipality in Kidnakkes Wood. Local landowners and the municipality are cooperating to preserve the historic grazing meadows by the lakes, both for their cultural and natural value.
The nature guides in Maribo Lakes Nature Park arrange public tours which focus on both natural and cultural aspects. There is a Nature School by Soendersoe, which is owned and run by Lolland Municipality. Schools and other educational institutions can use its facilities year-round.
The Ramsar Convention is an international convention for protection of wetlands.
Natura 2000 is an ecological network of protected natural areas throughout the EU.


Penn Medicine researchers have used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to isolate a key genetic feature that could cause resistance to PARP inhibitors in patients with ovarian cancer – and they've also proven they have a way to see that feature using PET imaging.
The team found PARP inhibitors – a type of targeted therapy that kills cancer cells with mutations in their DNA repair genes while sparing healthy tissue that does not have the mutations – specifically require the presence of PARP-1 in order to take effect.
They also show that a radioactive tracer developed at Penn makes PARP-1 visible during PET scans and may provide a method of measuring PARP-1 in ovarian cancer that complements biopsy.
The findings of this multidisciplinary team – which included radiologists, pathologists, and oncologists from the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine – were published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation this month.
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the fifth deadliest type of cancer in women, with more than 70 percent of patients already showing advanced disease when they're diagnosed.
Standard treatment relies on chemotherapy, but more recently, PARP inhibitors have emerged as a way to improve patient outcomes.
Three of these drugs are currently approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and patients commonly receive these inhibitors if they test positive for the genetic mutations BRCA1 and BRCA2. However, only about 50 percent of these patients respond.
Penn researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in the lab to delete PARP-1 from ovarian cancer cells, then exposed those cells to PARP inhibitors and compared them to a control group with PARP-1.
Cells without PARP-1 showed less DNA damage and less responsiveness to the inhibitors than the unedited control group cells.
In one case, the loss of PARP-1 resulted in a greater than a 1,000-fold decrease in sensitivity to the PARP inhibitor.
To accomplish this, researchers used a radioactive tracer that binds to PARP-1, making it visible during PET scans. The tracer, called FluorThanatrace, was specially designed by Robert H. Mach, PhD, the Britton Chance Professor of Radiology.
After a pre-clinical test using mouse models showed the tracer was hitting its specific molecular target, the study's authors moved to a phase I trial.
A clinical trial involving 10 patients led to 13 tissue samples.
These samples had a wide spectrum of uptake of the tracer, but that uptake correlated with PARP-1 expression.
In other words, the more the tracer was able to bind to the tumour, the higher the level of PARP-1 that tumour expressed.

'Last of Us 2' release date, Joel's return, and infected gameplay revealed
The Infected ass-kicking duo is back!
Filed Under Action-Adventure, Horror, PS4, Video & Zombies
Sony held its PlayStation State of Play broadcast Thursday that featured a plethora of updates for upcoming PS4 games. But no other title was more widely anticipated than the The Last of Us Part II and Sony delivered with the reveal of its release date, the return of Joel, glimpses of the infected, and key plot points.
The sequel to the critically acclaimed action-adventure horror game will hit shelves on February 21, 2020 and build off the success of the original. The roughly three-minute teaser of the Naughty Dog game confirmed that The Last of Us Part II will seamlessly blend gameplay and cinematic cutscenes into a stunning, hair-raising experience.
Ellie will replace Joel as the main character, but a now mid-50s Joel won't be taking a backseat in this post-apocalyptic journey.
Mark your calendars.
"You think I'd let you do this on your own," he asks Ellie at the very end of the teaser. That suggests he'll be a CPU partner that will accompany Ellie, or players will be able to smoothly swap between Joel and Ellie as they traverse Naughty Dog's new zombie-infested world.
Here's everything we learned about the The Last of Us Part II from PlayStation State of Play.
The Last of Us Part II is a revenge story
The teaser kicks off with Ellie and Dina, Ellie's love interest, beginning a routine supply mission for the safe-haven community in Jackson County, Wyoming they inhabit. The operation goes south, both characters are separated, and Ellie sets off to try and regroup with Dina, which results in disaster.
She's ambushed by a group of bandits who pin her down and force her to watch as they execute Dina. Ellie manages to escape and is now hellbent on revenge, regardless of the warnings from her friends that the group who murdered Dina is extremely dangerous.
"You think I'd let you do this on your own?"
Joel's return in The Last of Us Part II confirmed!
Ellie will battle through hordes of wastelands and zombies, but it won't be alone. At the very end of the teaser, Joel — a rugged and gray-haired Joel — saves Ellie from being spotted by a caravan of enemies and confirms he'll be accompanying her on this mission.
Up until this point, the only glimpse of Joel fans have received was his silhouette and voice in the 2016 The Last of Us Part II teaser. Tuesday was the first time his face was shown since the ending of the original game six years ago.
A brief shot of the Bloaters that Ellie will take on in 'The Last of Us Part 2'.
The Infected are as blood-curdling as ever in The Last of Us Part II
Finally, the Infected were also revealed for the first time. The teaser seemingly featured all four stages of mutation of humans infected by the Cordyceps fungus: Runners, Stalkers, Clickers, and Bloaters.
There weren't any apparent changes to the zombies, but there was a brief cut scene of Ellie taking on two Bloaters (the fourth, final, rarest, and most dangerous stage of infection). These beastly tanks where horrifying to face off against in the The Last of Us and could only be defeated with shotguns, hunting rifles, and fire.
So mark your calendars, Ellie and Joel will once again shove off into the ruins of society to take on a new mission early next year.
The Last of Us Part 2 will be exclusively released for PS4 on February 21, 2020.

Buying a Used Car in the State of Illinois? This is What You Should Know
To put it bluntly, there is a lot of risk involved when buying a used vehicle. Going beyond the visual inspection to determine the vehicle's appeal and value it is vital to look into the vehicles past. This is where a Vehicle History Report becomes such a vital tool in your arsenal. With a Vehicle History report you can uncover how many times the vehicle has changed ownership, if it was involved in an accident, the severity of the collision, odometer information and much more... You can also greatly reduce the risk of buying a lemon by purchasing from a reputable used car seller. It is also highly advised that you have the vehicle inspected by a certified mechanic.
According to Illinois Secretary of State's Office, there were 296,049 crashes in 2014 and over a thousand of them were categorized as savior. It is important to remember that a good percentage of these cars will be repaired or reconstructed and eventually make their way to the used car market. For most vehicles, especially the ones with extensive damage, their post repair condition will depend highly on the quality of workmanship done by the specific body shop that did the repairs. Often time's these vehicles are improperly repaired and although they may not show obvious signs of defects they have hidden issues. These vehicles are often referred to as "money pits" because the repairs seem endless and high repair costs pile up over time.

a theory —
"Nowhere" / "no where" were not standardized pre 1900, and drifted away from standardization in this new century (the more recent instances are from self-published books, and may reflect absence of copyediting).
In reading these aloud, one might emphasize enunciation of "where," as if "where" is a thing or generalized place that is absent.
I suppose it's something like Stein's "there is no there there" about Oakland — but here, there's no where there (or where).

If you have a dingy, depressing kitchen, you probably don't want to spend that much time there—which isn't doing your waistline any favors. New research shows the key to weight loss might be eating at home, so now is a good time to start thinking about that kitchen renovation.
To get you started, here are 16 Instagrams of kitchens awesome enough to make you put down the takeout menu.
Here's proof that kitchen walls don't have to be plain ol' white. The soft green paint here still helps draw light into the kitchen, while the warm orange tones in the tile, tools, and wood shelves pull the room together.
We'd love to cook a big southern meal in Brian Patrick Flynn's Georgia Kitchen. Actually, can we just move in?
Antiqued brass pendant lights from Barbara Cosgrove Lamps look more rugged than silver fixtures, and they help add depth and contrast against the white tile wall.
We are wild about having the rectangular islands and tables here juxtaposed by the wandering marble veins and wooden chairs with curved edges.
You don't need a McMansion to have a perfect kitchen. Just keep it clean and simple with many, many black cabinets.
This slate blue brings color to a room without overwhelming it. Bonus points for mixing a retro fridge with an Ikea sink.
At first glance, we thought this was a picnic table. Not mad about it.
This is the perfect kitchen for hanging around in during a pizza night or dinner party, and the wall of cabinets on the right will help it stay organized no matter how rowdy things get.
Knock down half a wall, make a nook, and enjoy watching the living room TV while stirring your famous chili in the room over.
Hanging up your pots and pans will make you feel like a professional chef (and it looks pretty cool).
White, silver, and wood on wood on wood makes for a streamlined, but comfortable kitchen.
The high-gloss black cabinets say luxury, but the exposed bulbs and leather chairs say workwear—and we're into all of it. Swapping in cabinets with glass fronts is also a good trick to make a space seem bigger.
No frills, no problem. Everything has it's own home in this sleek, minimalist kitchen.
Is that a range hood or a piece of modern art? Or both?
Wraparound shelving is a cool alternative to cabinets (if you can make sure to stay organized).
Natural wood and exposed bulbs add rustic farm vibes to this kitchen—without going whole hog.

it is getting tougher ever year.
Our deductible is now $7K/YR (before coverage kicks in).
That's far too much. We are thinking about giving up a lot of care.
I get Medicare, SSI, SS and Medicaid. I live in CA, and Medicaid is known as Medi-Cal/Partnership. All my medical bills are paid in full, including therapists/shrinks. Medicare usually only pays around 80% of medical bills unless you can afford to pay for the extra premiums. In my case, Medi-Cal picks up where Medicare leaves off. Also, docs only accept the amount Medicare is willing to pay, not the full amount they would normally charge.
Medicare also has drug programs for 'us' poor folks to pay for all our meds. Only $1.25 co-pays for generic meds.....little more for brand names. Fortunately I have all generic.
mine is the same as this plus i get transportation benefits to my appointments.
I am currently looking for some help that are free!
where do you live? there should be free clinics near you..
I am slightly fortunate as I am an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe and I live near another tribe that will work with me so I don't have to pay for services, however this does not extend to any emergency medical services I may require. My tribe will cover the costs but I have to call in before going in and get a referal and that is not an easy task so I do end up with medical bills for emergency services. Even if I lived closer to my tribe and brought those bills in it takes forever if at all for them to cover the cost. I have heard from other members that they are still trying to get the tribe to pay off their debts for emergency care.
BUPA offer private healthcare in the UK and I'm paying for that.If you want to go private for skin problems then BUPA are the one of those.
I pay $30 copay for therapy and $30 for psychiatrist through ACA sponsored insurance.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a pandemic causing disease; more than 185 million people are infected worldwide. An HCV antibody (Ab) prevalence of 6.0% was estimated in Central African countries. The study aimed at providing HCV prevalence estimates among pregnant women in Rwanda.
HCV surveillance through antibody screening test among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics was performed in 30 HIV sentinel surveillance sites in Rwanda.
Among 12,903 pregnant women tested at antenatal clinics, 335 (2.6% [95% Confidence Interval 2.32–2.87]) tested positive for HCV Ab. The prevalence of HCV Ab in women aged 25–49 years was 2.8% compared to 2.4% in women aged 15–24 years (aOR = 1.3; [1.05–1.59]); This proportion was 2.7% [2.37–2.94] in pregnant women in engaged in non-salaried employment compared to 1.2% [0.24–2.14] in those engaged in salaried employment (aOR = 3.2; [1.60–6.58]). The proportion of HCV Ab-positive co-infected with HIV was estimated at 3.9% (13 cases). Women in urban residence were more likely to be associated with HCV-infection (OR = 1.3; 95%CI [1.0–1.6]) compared to those living in rural setting.
HCV is a public health problem in pregnant women in Rwanda. Few pregnant women were co-infected with HCV and HIV. Living in urban setting was more likely to associate pregnant women with HCV infection.
The global prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was estimated between 1.2 and 3.8% according to World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burden Disease (GBD), with more than 185 million people infected worldwide [1–4]. The region with the highest reported HCV prevalence in the world was found in Central Asia (3.8%). In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence was 2.3% [1, 5].
A study conducted in specific sub-Saharan African countries estimated a high prevalence of HCV (6.0%) in central African countries. In North Africa, Egypt has the highest HCV prevalence (17.5%) followed by Morocco (7.7%) [6, 7].
In Rwanda, HCV seroprevalence studies have been limited to HIV- infected persons only [8, 9]. A study conducted among adults in one HIV clinic in the capital, Kigali in 2010, showed that the prevalence of HCV antibody (anti-HCV) was 5.7% [8]. The second found a sero-prevalence of 2.1% among HIV-infected persons in Rwanda [9].
Sexual and maternal to child transmission and household exposure are not listed among major factors of HCV transmission [2, 6]. The transmission of HCV from mother to child is estimated at 4–8%, but the transmission rate increases to 17–25% if the mother is also HIV infected [10]. In sub-Saharan Africa the main factor of HCV prevalence is blood transfusions and unsterile injections [6].
The prevalence of HCV infection among pregnant women was estimated between 1 and 8% worldwide [11]. In the Arabian Peninsula and North African (Maghreb) region, HCV among pregnant women ranges from 8.6% in Egypt to less than 1% in Libya [12]. In Nigeria, a study conducted among pregnant women, found that the prevalence of HCV ranged between 1.4% for women aged between 20 and 35 years old and 11.1% for women aged less than 20 years old [13]. In a systematic review and meta-analysis study published in 2015, conducted in 21 sub-Saharan African countries, found that the overall HCV prevalence among pregnant women in antenatal clinic was 3% and was 2% in the Central African region [14].
The burden of HCV infection in the general population and among pregnant women is unknown in Rwanda. The objective of the current study in Rwanda was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with testing positive for anti-HCV among pregnant women attending antenatal care services.
In 2011, an HIV cross-sectional sero-surveillance activity included HCV antibody testing among other tests performed in pregnant women from June 2011 to December 2011. A signed informed consent was used.
Setting and sites
In Rwanda before 2005, only 24 sentinel sites participated in HIV surveillance. In order to be more representative, the number was increased to 30 sentinel sites in 2005, with 14 located in urban areas and 16 in rural areas. Each province has at least two urban and two rural sites. Inclusion criteria for sites were: at least 80 new women enrolled for ANC services per month, geographically accessible, at least one midwife or a nurse experienced in maternity or ANC, and one laboratory technician. Hepatitis C screening was added in the 2011 survey.
Sentinel population
All pregnant women aged 15–49 years presenting for the first time for their current pregnancy for antenatal clinic and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (ANC-PMTCT) services during the data collection period and voluntarily agreeing to a venous blood draw for HIV and syphilis testing routine testing, were enrolled in the survey. Personal socio-demographic characteristics were collected using a surveillance form that was complete through interview conducted by trained data collectors who were also health center regular staff. The option of linking personal data was used to return hepatitis results to participants.
Women younger than 18 years were accompanied by an adult guardian and signed assent form to allow the participation in the survey. A sample size of 13,267 will result in a relative 10% precision around a point estimate (HIV prevalence) of 3% among pregnant women attending ANC at an alpha of 0.05 and power of 0.80.
Laboratory methods
Hepatitis C virus testing
All hepatitis C screening tests were performed at the central level at the National Reference Laboratory (NRL) in Kigali. Hepatitis C antibody (HCV Ab) using Abbott ARCHITECT system included, Reagents, calibrator, control packs, Pre-Trigger Solution and Probe Conditioning Solution for the assays for screening for prior exposure to hepatitis C and/or current infection.
HIV testing was performed at the health facility on all eligible and consenting pregnant women samples using 3 rapid test algorithm in order to provide without delay HIV test result to participants for counseling and clinical management for HIV-positive according to the national testing guidelines.
For the survey quality assurance purpose, all positive and 10% of the negative were sent to NRL for retesting using ELISA-based HIV testing algorithm.
Data collectors were selected among health facility staff. At each health facility, focal persons, including the Director and one laboratory technician, were selected to carry out data collection. Five-day training was organized to familiarize staff with the protocol, laboratory techniques related to the surveillance, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Participants were consecutively enrolled according to the inclusion criteria until the determined sample size at the site was reached. A structured sero-surveillance questionnaire was administered to all eligible pregnant women attending ANC/PMTCT service. Forms were kept in a secure place at the sentinel sites and transported to the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) after every 2 weeks during regular site supervision visits. Questionnaires and laboratory results were double-entered using Epi Info (CDC, Atlanta, GA) at RBC.
STATA software (StataCorp LP, 4905 Lakeway Drive, College Station, TX, USA) was used for data analysis. HCV prevalence, HCV-HIV co-infection proportions and 95% confidence limits were estimated separately by levels of socio-demographic factors. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was used to test for associations between screened HCV infection and potential risk factors. The multivariate analysis was performed to determine factors that were associated with HCV infection in the bivariate analysis at the ≤0.1 significance level to develop the final multi-variable model using a backward elimination method. All variables were modeled as categorical variables to check on potential interactions and associations. None of the tested interaction terms between age and marital status and age and education was significant. The prevalence of screened HCV, among pregnant women was estimated at 95% confidence intervals. The risk factors for HCV infection among pregnant women attending ANC services were determined from covariates fitted in the multi-variable logistic regression analysis: age, marital status, education level, occupation, residence, parity and, HIV infection.
Ethical considerations
In 2011, blood specimen and interview-based data collection was only performed on volunteers eligible participants who provided informed consent. The survey was reviewed in accordance with CDC human subjects review procedures and was determined to be a non-research routine disease surveillance activity. The survey was approved by the Rwandan National Ethics Committee.
Of, 13,292 pregnant women enrolled in the survey, 63.8% were 25 years old and above, 87.2% were married or cohabitating and 88.6% were illiterate. By source of income, 96.1% were not salaried. A proportion of 39.5% of women were at their 2–3 parity, 30.7% were at their first parity. Among all pregnant women, 12,903 (97.1%) were screened for HCV Ab, 335 (2.6%) [95%CI: 2.3–2.9] were identified HCV Ab-positive.
The prevalence of HCV-screened positive was 2.4% [95% CI: 1.6–3.2] among single pregnant women, 2.7% [95% CI: 2.3–2.9] among married pregnant women, and 3.9% [95% CI: 1.2–6.5] among separated, divorced or widowed pregnant women. The prevalence of HCV-screened positive was higher in pregnant women with low education level (illiterate and primary education level) compared to those with high education level (secondary and university education level): 2.7% [95% CI: 2.4–3.0] for illiterate pregnant women or pregnant women with primary education level vs. 1.8% [95%CI: 2.0–2.4 with secondary or university level]. Prevalence of HCV-screened positive was higher among pregnant women in unsalaried employment compared to pregnant women in salaried employment with 2.7% [95%CI: 2.4–3.0] and 1.2% [95%CI: 0.2–2.1] respectively (Table 1)
Table 1 Hepatitis C virus and HIV co-infection among pregnant women attending ante-natal clinics in Rwanda, 2011
HIV infection among HCV Ab positive was analyzed. Out of 335 screened HCV Ab-positive, 13 women were co-infected with HIV. The proportion of HIV infection among HCV-infected women was estimated at 3.9% [95% CI: 1.4–4.7]. This co-infection among HCV infected women varied in the different socio-demographic characteristics of pregnant women attending ANC (Table 1).
Education level, employment and residence were considered in determining factors associated with HCV infection (Table 2). In multivariate analysis, there is evidence that HCV among pregnant women was associated with urban residence with aOR = 1.3 [95% CI: 1.0–1.6].
Table 2 Hepatitis C Virus infection associated factors among pregnant women attending ante-natal clinics in Rwanda, 2011
All attendees to ANC services participated in the study and all consented for HCV testing. The overall prevalence of HCV Ab screened positive among pregnant women in sentinel sites in Rwanda was estimated at 2.6%. Due to insufficient blood sample, 2.9% of participants were not tested for HCV. Pregnant women aged between 25 and 49 years were more likely to be infected with HCV than younger pregnant women (15–24 years old). The proportion of HIV-positive among HCV Ab-positive pregnant women in ANC sentinel surveillance sites was (3.9%).
The HCV prevalence among pregnant women in sentinel sites in Rwanda was similar to the overall HCV prevalence in sub-Sahara African countries (3.0%) and the prevalence of HCV in Central African region (2.0%) [13]. It was also similar to the prevalence using confirmed HCV-positive tests in Malawi (2.0%) [15], and higher than the HCV prevalence among pregnant women in Brazil, United Kingdom (London) and Nigeria of 0.2, 0.8 and 1.5% respectively [12, 15]. In the African region, the prevalence of HCV in the general population widely varied by country, ranging from 0.1 to 17.5% [7]. The increase of HCV with age was observed in a study conducted in Brazil among pregnant women in 2009 [16] and in all African regions [9]. A study of a global epidemiology of hepatitis C virus infection found that HCV prevalence increased with age with different HCV prevalence peak in different ages in different regions [1]. The HCV and HIV co-infection proportion among pregnant women attending the ANC services in Rwanda was 3.9%.
The HCV and HIV co-infection was low among HCV-positive pregnant women in Rwanda. The proportion of the co-infection was lower compared to published studies in sub-Sahara countries (16.0%) and in Central African region (6.0%). A Brazilian study published in 2009 reported 7.0% of HCV-positive pregnant women were co-infected with HIV-1 [15]. In European countries, among HIV-positive enrolled pregnant women this co-infection was very high (12.3%) [17]. In 2010, a meta-analysis [15] focusing on HIV and HCV co-infection using published studies in consecutive years from several sub-Saharan African countries for adult people published the following results: In 2006 HCV and HIV co-infection was 4.8% in Burkina Faso and in 2007, it was 8.6% in Cameroon. In 2008 HCV and HIV co-infection in Ethiopia was 1.8%; 1.8% in Kenya, 1.1% in Malawi, 15.7% in Mozambique, 8.0% in Senegal, 13.4% in South Africa and 18.1% in Tanzania. In another study, it was reported that HCV and HIV co-infection in Nigeria was 3.8% in 2009 [14].
A significant difference in odds of having HCV was observed among pregnant women in urban residence compared to rural residence. That is, the HCV risk was higher in the urban than the rural women. The assumption behind this situation is the usual location of key population in urban setting than in rural ones.
In our study, there was no evidence to suggest a significant association between HIV and HCV infections. Similar observations were made in a study conducted in Kigali among adult HIV-positive persons [8].
The co-infection of HIV and HCV is associated with high mortality due to liver diseases compared to mono-infection [18]. Therefore, HIV is considered an important risk factor for HCV in the general population but has not been widely investigated. Most published studies on HCV risk factors were conducted among high-risk groups such as sex workers, injecting drug users and men who have sex with men and blood transfusion [2, 6].
This study had several limitations, namely: The survey was part of the antenatal sentinel sites sero-surveillance and therefore findings are applied to pregnant women in sentinel sites and cannot be generalized to the whole population in Rwanda or to pregnant women in other sub-Saharan African countries. Secondly, due to the small number of HCV and HIV co-infected pregnant women in our survey, it was not possible to assess the magnitude of this co-infection in selected socio-demographic characteristics sub-groups. Thirdly, in the present survey, Abbott ARCHITECT system is a screening test with high sensitivity. Therefore, in the context of our study, this screening test that was originally used in blood transfusion services to minimize hepatitis C transmission from blood donors; we may have some false HCV Ab-positive results.
HCV-infection is a public health burden among pregnant women in Rwanda. This study provides a platform to inform policymakers and stakeholders the need to accelerate progress in treatment access and global prevention of HCV infections.
Further advanced studies of HCV in this group and in the general population are needed to explore detection of Antigens and Antibodies and how they inform the diagnosis of acute and active HCV infections.

Treehouse Photography founder, owner and photographer Shane Bushman is world-reknowned for his talents in photography and image making. After studying digital arts and photography in South Florida, he quickly moved on to applying his photographic skills in the local circuit. His experience continued throughout the United States while traveling and shooting everywhere from New York and California to Alaska and Hawaii. With his extensive education and over 20 years of professional real world experience, Shane has honed his photography skills to be some of the best and most sought-after in the industry. He has personally photographed over 3,300 clients in personal one-on-one photo sessions and is adding more to his portfolio every day! Shane's professional photography is used in magazines, modeling portfolios, websites, corporate materials, product packaging and more.
With so much competition in these fields what makes Treehouse Photography stand above the rest? It's how the pictures are taken. Since the advent of digital photography and the slow demise of tradtional film a new advantage was born: shooting in the RAW format. This (albeit more time consuming) process allows unparalleled levels of image manipulation and refinement after the shoot. The result is punchy magazine-ready art that film and traditional digital output simply can't match in color and resolution.
Treehouse Photography is your most qualified choice for professional imaging. We employ a serious work ethic and strive toward quality and total satisfaction. We are extremely flexible and accommodating to work with; we will come to you to shoot your photos, or suggest one of our favorite on-site locations as prime backdrops for your session.
Aside from personal portrait photography, modeling shoots, and product photography, my other passion is nature and wildlife photography. Check out some of my recent travels below for great photos from around the world!
A few photography excursions here and there to the northern states, and a big trip planned to western Europe this fall! Stay tuned for updates!
Martha's Vineyard AND St. Thomas?
Just back from two completely different islands! Met another fantastic photographer, Peter Simon, brother of Carly Simon! The US Virgin Islands were incredible, St. Thomas and St. John, check out my photos from those trips!
Just back from a photography expedition at the California coast. Check out my latest images on Alcatraz, Monterrey, Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and Napa Valley!
Winter in New England is quite beautiful, and has a whole different atmosphere than the other seasons. Look to see my photos from downtown Boston with all the historical sights, including Charles River!

Fairmined Gold is a certification that helps you to feel confident in the ethics of your jewellery.
Any piece with the Fairmined mark guarantees that the gold in it comes from responsible artisanal and small scale mining operations. Fairmined Gold is bought above market rates as an incentive to mine operators, helping them to keep their business environmentally safe and support the rights of their workers. The gold is never from conflict situations, does not use child labour, and is mined in a healthy and safe environment for workers.
The infographic below shows the criteria for the Fairmined standard.
Miners involved in the scheme are regularly audited to ensure that they continue to comply with the standard. Additionally, at each step of the supply chain, purchases of Fairmined metals are reported, ensuring the metal is fully traceable from the mine to you!


This simple and safe procedure dramatically reduces the appearance of crow's feet, frown lines and forehead wrinkles to achieve a rejuvenated look. With a very fine needle, the Botox blocks impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines. Botox relaxes the muscles so they do not contract. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected. No sedation is needed, and you can resume normal activities immediately. Results typically last for three to six months.

Bye, Bye Birdie Sparked Singing Career of Paul Micksch
Adison Karbon, Staff Writer, Advanced Journalism
In anticipation of the musical's Alumni Night, members of the Tritonian staff have interviewed alums who participated in earlier productions of the show. Read how the '95 musical sparked the career of musician Paul Micksch, brother of librarian Katie Gelb.
Final preparations for this year's musical are in full swing, but this is not the first time Bye Bye Birdie was performed at Notre Dame Academy.
Paul Micksch, now an audio engineer, composer, and producer, participated in the 1995 production of Bye Bye Birdie as a freshman. The '98 alum went on to graduate from UW-Madison.
Micksch, brother of librarian Katie Gelb, auditioned "on a whim during a break from jazz ensemble because it looked like fun."
"Turns out, it was a lot more formative than that," said Micksch.
His roles were the "guitar guy," a chorus member, and one of the Shriners.
"It was my first time acting in a musical of any kind," said Micksch.
Before the musical, he didn't think of himself as a singer at all, but rather an instrumental musician.
But being in the musical "was really eye opening" and brought him to the point today where singing is such a big part of how he defines himself–as a musician–that "it's hard to imagine it without that experience."
Some of his favorite memories in the musical happened when he was "waiting around" since "there are so many things that happen when you're not on stage."
He made many new friends, including upperclassmen, which was a first for Micksch.
After his experience in Bye Bye Birdie, he went on to perform in Guys and Dolls, Kiss Me Kate and Godspell throughout his years at NDA.
His love for music has brought him to where he is today, working for a software company outside of Madison, WI.
His job includes creating, recording and producing audio/visual media and managing a team who designs, installs and maintains "state of the art audio/visual systems."
In his free time, he mixes records for "artists and bands all over the country," writes, records and performs music.
Outside of his music career, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two little girls.
What he looks forward to most in his life is watching his kids grow up and finding out what they're passionate about.
In ten years, he hopes to continue what he's doing: "Writing recording, performing, and raising my kids."

Driver's License Suspension in Rancho Cucamonga
San Bernardino DUI Lawyer
When a DUI occurs, an officer will issue an order of suspension and a temporary license, and from this date forward, you have ten days to contact the DMV to request a DMV hearing. There are many things that impact a driver's license suspension and how long a license is suspended for. For a first time DUI conviction, your license can be suspended for six months and you will have to complete a DUI program to have it reinstated. If you are over 21 and can prove yourself financially responsible, the DMV will usually issue you a restricted driver's license. Searching for a lawyer for a driver's license suspension case in San Bernardino? A Rancho Cucamonga DUI defense attorney from our firm can help you protect your license from being suspended.
Other situations that impact how long a license is suspended for include whether or not you took the chemical tests, whether or not it is your first DUI offense, and whether or not there is a legal basis for your license's suspension/revocation. For instance, multiple DUI can result in a two year suspension of your license or a revocation of up to four years. All that a prosecutor has to prove in order to convict you of a California Vehicle Code 14061, 14061.1, 14061.2, or 14601.5 violation is whether you drove on a suspended license and whether you knew your license was suspended. You can plead lack of knowledge or can attempt a "plea bargain" in order to receive a case dismissal.
Further Penalties for Driving on a Suspended License
Need a lawyer for a driver's license suspension case in San Bernardino? California driving law however assumes that either the California DMV mailed you a 1st class notice regarding your driver's license suspension, a police officer told you about the suspension, or a judge informed you of the suspension. Driving on a suspended license in California can produce some harsh consequences: you are charged with a misdemeanor crime, and are subject to time in county jail and possible fines. California Vehicle Code 14601.2(a), Code 14601.3(a), and Code 14601.5(a) deal with driving on a suspended license while 14601.1(a) deals with driving on a revoked CDL (see CDL DUI).
There are many rules, limitations, and methods to getting your license back once it is revoked. It is therefore important that an individual contact a Rancho Cucamonga DUI attorney immediately.

> What's In A Name? | Part 2
What's In A Name? | Part 2
By Katrina Patrick -
Subscribe to our magazine for more great content
The second part in our series as we continue to explore the history and myths behind some of Scotland's more unusual place names…
Viking Connections
The name Dingwall comes from the Old Norse Þingvöllr, preserving the Viking connections to the town. It means field or meeting-place of the Þing (pronounced "thing"), which was an early form of governing assembly made up of the free people of the community. Here laws were made, outlaws banned and crimes paid for in cash or kind to the victims. Interestingly, the Gaelic name for Dingwall is simply Inbhir Pheofharain – "the mouth of the Peffery".
Helens and Helensburghs
The hamlet of Mulig on the Clyde was reformed in 1776 to make way for Sir James Colquon of Luss's new seaside resort town, Helensburgh, which he named after his wife Helen. Its Gaelic name is a literal translation of this: Baile Eilidh – town of Helen. Helensburgh also has a sister city in New South Wales. Originally Camp Creek, the Australian town was named Helensburgh to commemorate the Coal Mine's manager, Charles Harper, who was originally from Helensburgh (Scotland) and whose daughter was also called Helen.
A Changing City
Our capital city of Edinburgh was originally named Dùn Èideann, and this change reflects the linguistic influences in the region over time. "Dùn", Old Gaelic for hill fort, became the Old English "burh" for stronghold. The origin of "Èideann" is a little unclear, but one suggestion is that it comes from the Gaelic "aodann", meaning mountain face – which, as anyone who has seen Edinburgh Castle's perch over the town will agree, is a very plausible explanation.

The Center for Child and Family Well-being promotes the positive development and well-being of children, from infancy through adolescence, particularly those experiencing disadvantage and adversity. The center uses a bioecological approach to children's well-being addressing the inter-dependence of children's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development, as they are shaped by individual, interpersonal, community and broader socioeconomic, social and cultural forces. The interactions among these factors influence whether children have vulnerable or resilient responses to economic disadvantage and adversity. CCFW supports children's resilience by infusing mindfulness, compassion, and social-emotional skills into the lives of children, their parents, caregivers, teachers and the professionals serving them.
CCFW accomplishes our goals by engendering, translating, applying and sharing knowledge that stems from our interdisciplinary research conducted by over 20 faculty affiliates from across the University of Washington. Our research serves as the foundation on which we build education, professional training, prevention, intervention, outreach and advocacy activities of the center. We are committed to serving as a resource and partner in promoting the well-being of children and families locally and globally.

The story about Jackal and Hyena: (As told by Qhuma, one of the Bushman at Grassland Bushman Lodge, who was told the story by his grandfather).
This story is to explain how sly jackal can be.
Jackal and hyena was working for lion, the king of the bush. As jackal was more senior then hyena, he was always just sitting and watching hyena doing all the hard work. When the day's work is finished and they have to report to lion, jackal would roll in the sand just before they get to lion, so that lion can see how dirty he is and how hard he was working.
One day lion decided to watch them from a distance through the bushes, he saw hyena doing all the work and jackal just sitting in the shade. Just as jackal was falling asleep in the shade, lion was standing next to him. Jackal got such a fright, he tried to run away, but couldn't escape lion. Lion then tied him to a tree, so he couldn't run away.
Baboon came across jackal and asked him why he was tied to the tree? Jackal, who immediately had a plan, told baboon that lion is bringing him delicious food every day, as long as he warns lion about any intruders. Baboon thought this was an easy way of getting nice food, so baboon asked if he could also help jackal to be on the lookout for any intruders and if jackal would share his food with him? Jackal told baboon to untie him from the tree, then baboon can get all the food. Jackal then tied baboon to the tree and… jackal was never seen again!
Staff I had contact with KT, Pony,Doc,Sam,Leanard and Kagiso were all fantastic &friendly!
All excellent!! A great stay – would definitely recommend to travellers!
Nomad x 7 + 1: All good!! Best food ever on trip! Excellent staff amazing home cooked food, Loved the tour into the village. They should do that excursion for each stay. Only thing did not like very cold at night in bed but you guys can't help that all on the weather. Enjoyed the warm fireplaces @ night time in the evening. I would recommend anybody to travel here & would come again!!
Watson x 2: Every thing was excellent!! Staff was amazing… V, our guide did a great job!!
Please be advised that as of 19th August, the Botswana Ministry of Health has implemented the below measures: Any travellers who have visited Ebola affected countries in the last 30 days will be denied entry to Botswana.These countries are currently: Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Liberia. Should the outbreak spread there may be additions to this list.
Summer in the Okavango, from the deck at Delta Camp.
What would YOU do if you came face to face with a lion?
The deal is, when you meet a lion, which may someday happen when you come to visit us, you must stare into those big brown eyes. No moving, no wiggling, just stand and stare. Of course our talented and incredibly knowledgeable guides will be there to remind you to stand your ground. Once you accomplish this, you will walk away, with a quickened heart, having had one of the most breathtaking experiences of your life.

Q: Determine upper and lower bounds given an integer I have a small task within my script that I need to handle and i'm really not sure how I should go about doing it.
The function takes an integer and I need to find upper and lower bounds that the integer lies between.
The upper and lower bounds will always be 5 numbers apart. For example, if the inputted integer is 4 then the lower bound would be 0 and the upper bound would be 5.
Another example would be if the inputted integer is 26, the lower bound would be 25 and the upper bound would be 30.
Could anyone give me some starting information as to what would be a good way to go about tackling this? I'm thinking that I could just find the lower bound and then add 5 to it in order to find the upper bound? I'm just not entirely certain what would be the most efficient way to find one bound.

A: number = input()
lowerBound = number - (number % 5)
upperBound = lowerBound + 5

There is a lot of hype growing about blockchains. But what the hell is it?
Well, Blockchains are next-gen technology with highly scalable and distributed networks with support for smart contracts which can be used in solving many problems.
Before I start about what blockchain is, let me tell you what I was before I saw into blockchain.
This was who I am and I am not ashamed to admit it.
So yeah, as a full stack developer what all do you use? Some coding language, some platform to run it, something to store data etc. Being from this mindset I couldn't understand what blockchains are. For me blockchains could just be used to store banking information. What else can you do with something which is associated with cryptocurrencies?
So one day while getting bored of writing another set of CRUD operations, I came across a site https://cryptozombies.io/ . And this is how kids my view of blockchains changed.
Blockchains are not that boring to work on.
It is more than just cryptocurrencies.
Initially when you start the lessons you will feel like "uff, another language to learn", but why not? You are a full stack developer you can write hello world in any language and add it to your CV.
And it makes sense. SomeClass extends the functionality of BaseClass.
Now what again??? The basic english here is flawed. When an object A is B, then obviously A cannot have more functionalities than B. Anyway, I am no one to judge.
So one thing I understood is that blockchains are some kind of database where data is stored. But this is a special kind of database which is present with every node in the network. So as opposed to our general trend of keeping our production database in a secure location, we actually send it to everyone who is using our network.
What all do you do with databases? Read & write? Here also you do the same. Except…!!! Reads are normal. But writes, any write you make to the storage will actually be written on the blockchain. FOREVERRRR*….. So yeah, each change you make in data is added as another data on that node and then it is broadcasted to every other node in the world. (Now here some people use the term Proof of Work, but I don't really understand it right now but will update this once I understand).
This is similar to database replication but different in the sense that every node is able to write to the network and the true data is decided by consensus. So if my name is Jibin, but if 51% of the nodes say that my name is not Jibin, then the network will say that my name is not Jibin.
One more caveat is that every write you make or any operation you do costs you money, or specifically GAS. This means if you want to change a=1 to a=2 in the block chain, it will cost you Gas. And yes the one who executes it will have to pay, not the provider (as per my understanding till now).
Another term you will hear a lot "Decentralization". So what it means that if a techie Thanos snaps his fingers and destroys half the databases in the universe, your data will still be intact since your data is present with every node.
Basically no one has complete access to your data. In the existing infrastructure, a particular firm or individual holds your data in your database and can modify it according to their will if they want and cause havoc. So if tomorrow google decides that you are a criminal, they could make it happen unless others use bing or other search engines. With blockchains, I will have a copy of googles data. So if google changes the data in their nodes, the rest of the world's network won't agree with it and discard it.
Blockchains are much bigger than this blog can cover and I just tried to encourage you to test the waters with blockchains. It is interesting. I am eagerly waiting for the next lesson on cryptozombies.
