Letters of the popes in the period of the early church[edit]
The popes began early, by virtue of the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff, to issue canon laws as well for the entire Church as for individuals, in the form of letters which popes sent either of their own will or when application was made to them by synods, bishops or individual Christians.
Apart from the Epistles of the Apostle Peter, the first example of this is the Letter of Pope Clement I (90-99?) to the Corinthians, in whose community there was grave dissension. Only a few papal letters of the first three Christian centuries have been preserved in whole or part, or are known from the works of ecclesiastical writers. Among them are Adversus Aleatores by Pope Victor I, some fragments of a letter by Pope Stephen I, three letters by Pope Cornelius, and one by Pope Dionysius.[1] As soon as the Church was recognized by the (Roman) State and could freely spread in all directions, the papal primacy of necessity began to develop, and from this time on the number of papal letters increased.
No part of the Church and no question of faith or morals failed to attract the papal attention. The popes called these letters with reference to their legal character, decreta, statuta, decretalia constituta, even when the letters were often hortatory in form. Thus Siricius, in his letter of the year 385 to Himerius of Tarragona, a Greek Sophist, Rhetorician and archbishop of Tarragona.[2] Or the letters were called sententiæ, i. e. opinions;[3] præcepta;[4] auctoritates.[5] On the other hand, more general letters, especially those of dogmatic importance, were also called at times tomi; indiculi; commonitoria; epistolae tractoriae, or simply tractatoriae.
If the matter were important, the popes issued the letters not by their sole authority, but with the advice of the Roman presbytery or of a synod. Consequently, such letters were also called epistolae synodiae.[6] By epistola synodica was also understood in Christian antiquity the letter of the newly elected bishop or pope by which he notified the other bishops of his elevation and of his agreement with them in the Faith. Thus an epistola of this kind had a certain relationship to the litterae formatae by which a bishop certified, for presentation to another bishop, to the orthodoxy and unblemished moral character of an ecclesiastic of his diocese. Closely related to the litterae formatae are the litterae dimissoriae (dimissorials) by which a bishop sends a candidate for ordination to another bishop to be ordained.
Although these names indicate sufficiently the legal character of the papal letters, the popes repeatedly demanded in explicit terms the observance of their decrees; thus Siricius, in his letter of the year 385 to Himerius,[7] and Innocent I in his letter of the year 416 addressed to Decentius, Bishop of Gubbio.[8] In the same manner they repeatedly required from the persons to whom they wrote that these should bring the letter in question to the notice of others. Thus again Siricius, in his letter to Himerius;[9] and Pope Zosimus, in the year 418 to Hesychius of Sabona.[10]
In order to secure such knowledge of the papal laws, several copies of the papal letters were occasionally made and dispatched at the same time. In this way arose the letters a pari: a paribus uniformes, ta isa.[11]
Following the example of the Roman emperors, the popes soon established archives (scrinium) in which copies of their letters were placed as memorials for further use, and as proofs of authenticity. The first mention of papal archives is found in the Acts of a synod held about 370 under Pope Damasus I.[12] Pope Zosimus also makes mention in 419 of the archives.[13] Nevertheless, forged papal letters appeared even earlier than this. But by far the greater number of the papal letters of the first millennium have been lost; only the letters of Pope Leo I, edited by the Ballerini brothers, the "Registrum Epistolarum" of Gregory I, edited by Ewald and Hartmann, and the "Registrum Epistolarum" of Gregory VII, edited by Jaffé, have been more or less completely preserved.
As befitted their legal importance, the papal letters were also soon incorporated in the collections of canon law.[14] The first to collect the epistles of the popes in a systematic and comprehensive manner was the monk Dionysius Exiguus, at the beginning of the sixth century.[15] In this way the papal letters took rank with the canons of the synods as of equal value and of equal obligation. The example of Dionysius was followed afterwards by almost all compilers of the canons, Pseudo-Isidore and the Gregorian canonists, e.g. Anselm of Lucca, Deusdedit etc.
Letters of the medieval Popes[edit]
With the development of the papal primacy in the Middle Ages the papal letters grew enormously in number. The popes, following the earlier custom, insisted that their rescripts, issued for individual cases, should be observed in all analogous ones. According to the teaching of the canonists, above all of Gratian, every papal letter of general character was authoritative for the entire Church without further notification.
The names of the letters of general authority were very varied: constitutio(n);[16] edict(um);[17] statutum;[18] decretum;[19] decretalis;[20] sanctio.[21] Decrees (decreta) was the name given especially to general ordinances issued with the advice of the cardinals.[22] On the other hand, ordinances issued for individual cases were called rescripta, responsa, mandata. Thus a (papal) constitution was always understood to be a papal ordinance which regulated ecclesiastical conditions of a general character judicially, in a durable manner and form, for all time; but by a rescript was understood a papal ordinance issued at the petition of an individual that decided a lawsuit or granted a favour. Compare the Bulls of promulgation prefixed to the "Decretals" of Gregory IX, the "Liber Sextus" of Boniface VIII and the "Clementinæ"; also the titles, "De constitutionibus" and "De rescriptis" in the "Corpus Juris Canonici". Notwithstanding all this, usage remained uncertain.[23]
The above-mentioned distinctions between papal documents were based on the extent of their authority. Other names again had their origin in the form of the papal documents. It is true they all had more or less evidently the form of letters. But essential differences appeared, especially in regard to the literary form (stylus) of the document and the method of sealing, these depending in each case on the importance of the contents of the respective document. It was merely the difference in the manner of sealing that led to the distinction between Bulls and Briefs. For Papal Bulls, legal instruments almost entirely for important matters, the seal was stamped in wax or lead, seldom in gold, enclosed in a case, and fastened to the document by a cord. For Briefs, instruments used as a rule in matters of less importance, the seal was stamped upon the document in wax. Curial letters (litterae curiales or litterae de curia) denoted particularly letters of the popes in political affairs.
During the Middle Ages, just as in the early Church, the letters of the popes were deposited in the papal archives either in the original or by copy. They are still in existence, and almost complete in number, from the time of Innocent III (1198–1216). Many papal letters were also incorporated, as their legal nature required, in the "Corpus Juris Canonici". Others are to be found in the formularies, many of which appeared unofficially in the Middle Ages, similar in kind to the ancient official Liber Diurnus of the papal chancery in use as late as the time of Gregory VII. The papal letters were forwarded by the papal officials, above all by the Apostolic Chancery, for whose use the chancery rules, regulae cancellariae Apostolicae, were drawn up with regard to the execution and dispatch of the papal letters, dating back to the twelfth century. Nevertheless, the forging of papal letters was even more frequent in the Middle Ages than in the early Church. Innocent III[24] refers to no less than nine methods of falsification. From the thirteenth century on to January, 1909 it sufficed, in order to give a papal document legal force, to post it up at Rome on the doors of St. Peter's, of the Lateran, the Apostolic Chancery and in the Piazza del Campo di Fiori, but since they acquired force only by publication in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis.
Letters of the popes in modern times[edit]

In the modern period also, papal letters have been constantly issued, but they proceed from the popes themselves less frequently than in the Middle Ages and Christian antiquity; most of them are issued by the papal officials, of whom there is a greater number than in the Middle Ages, and to whom have been granted large delegated powers, which include the issuing of letters. Following the example of Paul III, Pius IV and Pius V, Sixtus V by the Papal Bull "Immensa aeterni" of 22 January 1587, added to the already existing bodies of papal officials a number of congregations of cardinals with clearly defined powers of administration and jurisdiction. Succeeding popes added other congregations.
Pius X in the Constitution "Sapienti consilio" of 29 June 1908, reorganized the papal Curia, papal writings being divided into (Apostolic) Constitutions, (papal) Rescripts, (Papal) Bulls, (Papal) Briefs and Apostolic Letters (Litterae Apostolicae).
The Litterae Apostolicae are further divided into Litterae Apostolicae simplices or Brevetti, Chirographa, Encyclicae (Encyclicals) and Motus Proprii. By Litterae Apostolicae simplices are understood all documents drawn up by virtue of papal authorization, and signed with the pope's name but not by the pope personally. Documents signed by the pope personally are called Chirographa. Encyclicals are letters of a more hortatory nature, addressed to all or to a majority of the higher officials of the Church. A Motu Proprio is a document prepared at the personal initiative of the pope, without previous petition to him, and issued with a partial avoidance of the otherwise customary forms of the chancery.
By Constitution is understood, as in the Middle Ages, a papal document of general authority; by Rescript, a similar document applicable to an individual case.
Bulls and Briefs are distinguished from each other by characteristics of form which have always remained essentially the same.
The papal documents are still deposited in the Roman archives. There are no official collections of them corresponding to the medieval "Corpus Juris Canonici". The last(?) official collection is that of the Constitutions of Benedict XIV (1740–1758). From the sixteenth century, on the other hand, private collections have appeared, some of which are called bullaria, from the more important part of their contents. Many papal letters are also found in the collections of the Acts of the Councils. The documents issued by the officials of the Curia and the Congregations of Cardinals contain either resolutions (decisions) for individual cases, or declarations (extensivae or comprehensivae) interpreting laws, or decrees, which are entirely new laws. Some congregations of cardinals have issued official collections of their decisions.
Collections of the letters of the Popes and of the Roman officials[edit]
Coustant, "Epistolæ Romanorum Pontificum et quæ ad eos scriptæ sunt a S. Clemente I usque ad Innocentium III" (Paris, 1721), goes to only 440; Schönemann, "Pontificum Romanorum a Clemente I usque ad Leonem M. genuinæ ... epistolæ" (Göttingen, 1796); Thiel, "Epistolæ Romanorum Pontificum genuinæ ... a S. Hilaro usque ad Pelagium II" (Brunsberg, 1868).
From 1881 the École Française of Rome has published, with particular reference to France, the "Registra" of Gregory IX, Innocent IV, Alexander IV, Urban IV, Clement IV, Gregory X, John XXI, Nicholas III, Martin IV, Honorius IV, Nicholas IV, Boniface VIII, and Benedict XI. The "Registra" of the Avignon popes are also in course of publication. Cf. "Mélanges d'archéologie et d'histoire", XXV, 443 sqq.; Joseph Hergenröther, "Leonis X Pontificis Maximi Regesta" (Freiburg, 1884-); "Regesta Clementis Papæ V cura et studio monachorum ordinis S. Benedicti" (Rome, 1885-); Pressuti, "Registrum Honorii III" (Rome, 1888-).
There are innumerable collections of papal letters issued from a partisan point of view. All known papal letters up to 1198 are enumerated by Jaffé in the "Regesta Rom. Pont." The papal letters of 1198-1304 are found in August Potthast, Regesta Pontificum Romanorum ab anno 1198 ad annum 1304 (Berlin, 1874).
Paul Kehr prepared a critical edition of all papal letters up to Innocent III. See the "Nachrichten", of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences, 1896, 72 sqq.; "Pii IX acta" (Rome, 1854-); "Leonis XIII acta" (Rome, 1881); "Pii X acta" (Rome, 1907). For the Bullaria, see Tomasetti, "Bullarum, diplomatum et privilegiorum s. Romanorum Pontificum Taurinensis editio locupletissima" (Turin, 1857-); for collections of the Acts of the Councils, Mansi, "Sacrorum conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio" (Florence and Venice, 1759), goes to 1439. It is continued by "Collectio conciliorum recentioris ecclesiæ universæ", ed. Martin and Petit (Paris, 1905); "Decreta authentica S. Congregationis Indulgentiarum edita jussu et auctoritate Leonis XIII" (Ratisbon, 1883); "Jus Pontificium de Propaganda Fide Leonis XIII jussu recognitum" (Rome, 1888); "Decreta authentica Congregationis S. Rituum ... promulgata sub auspiciis Leonis XIII" (Rome, 1898).
The above-mentioned Sapienti Consilio of Pope Pius X decreed, that all papal laws were to be promulgated through publication in an official bulletin called the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, the first issues of which, at intervals of about twice a month, appeared in 1909. From 1865 to 1908, papal documents had been published in a similar series under the title Acta Sanctae Sedis, which was declared official in 1904. Before 1865, papal documents were not systematically published in documentary fashion and were promulgated by other means such as being affixed to the doors of basilicas in Rome.[25]
Letters of bishops[edit]
Just as the popes rule the Church largely by means of letters, so also the bishops make use of letters for the administration of their dioceses. The documents issued by a bishop are divided according to their form into pastoral letters, synodal and diocesan statutes, mandates or ordinances or decrees, the classification depending upon whether they have been drawn up more as letters, or have been issued by a synod or the diocesan chancery.
The pastoral letters are addressed either to all the members of the diocese (litterae pastorales) or only to the clergy, in this case generally in Latin (litterae encyclicae). The mandates, decrees or ordinances are issued either by the bishop himself or by one of his officials.
The synodal statutes are ordinances issued by the bishop at the diocesan synod, with the advice, but in no way with the legislative co-operation, of the diocesan clergy. The diocesan statutes, regularly speaking, are those episcopal ordinances which, because they refer to more weighty matters, are prepared with the obligatory or facultative co-operation of the cathedral chapter.
In order to have legal force the episcopal documents must be published in a suitable manner and according to usage. Civil laws by which episcopal and also papal documents have to receive the approval of the State before they can be published are irrational and out of date according to the First Vatican Council (Sess. III, De eccles., c. iii). (See Exequatur.)

Country-by-Country report and notification
Country-by-country reporting
Country-by-country reporting applies to multinational group companies with a consolidated turnover/net sales of at least €750 million.
If the consolidated financial statements are prepared in a currency other than the euro, the threshold is considered to be the limit set in the legislation of the state of domicile of the group company's ultimate parent entity, roughly equivalent to €750 million, based on the currency exchange rate in January 2015.
If the Ultimate Parent Entity's state of domicile does not have legislation on CbC reporting, you should convert that state's local currency into euros by the exchange rate that was in force in January 2015 to determine whether the €750 million threshold is reached.
Example: Under The United States legislation, the reporting obligation applies to multinational enterprise groups with a turnover/net sales of at least $850 million.
Country-by-country reporting involves two separate reports
The Notification of Reporting Obligation – applies to all group companies and permanent establishments in Finland
The CbC Report – applies to the Finnish group company's ultimate parent entity
Guidance: Country-by-country report
File the report online
To submit a notification of reporting entity or a country-by-country report, you will need a personal User ID and password, or a Katso ID with master or parallel-master privileges.
If an agent submits the reports, they must have authorisation for the Katso role of Annual Information Returns, or for Suomi.fi, the "Managing of tax affairs" or "Tax return filing". The notification opens with the login page. When you have logged in, you will automatically be routed to the correct form.
Giving details of the Reporting Entity
You can either use the fillable Web form or submit a computer file.
If you choose the Web form, make sure you have the correct year. First, the login dialog opens. When you have logged in, you will automatically see the form to fill out.
CbC Notification of the Reporting Entity 2021 (lomake.fi)
CbC Notification of Reporting Obligation 2018 (lomake.fi)
To submit the notification as a computer file, create a name-value file and send it on Ilmoitin.fi. Specifications of the required data format (select the correct year) are under Notification of the Reporting Entity (CbC and DAC4).

Country-by-country report
The group company's ultimate parent entity is usually responsible for submitting the CbC Report to the tax authority of its state of domicile within 12 months from the end of the accounting period. If you are the ultimate parent entity, and Finland is your state of domicile, you must file the reports to the Finnish Tax Administration. In case an agreement on exchange of information is in force between Finland and the state of domicile, the ultimate parent entity of a foreign multinational enterprise group files the CbC Report to the tax authority of its state of domicile, and that tax authority will transmit it to the Finnish Tax Administration automatically.
Example: The tax residence of your group's ultimate parent entity is Sweden. The group has a subsidiary in Finland.
The Swedish parent entity must submit its country-by-country report to the Swedish Tax Agency which in turn will send it on to the Finnish Tax Administration. The Finnish subsidiary does not need to compile a separate report, as the Swedish parent entity compiles it on the subsidiary's behalf.
Consequently, the subsidiary and permanent establishment in Finland must ascertain whether the ultimate parent entity must file country-by-country reports in its state of domicile, and also ascertain whether an agreement is in force on exchange of information between Finland and the state of domicile. If the ultimate parent entity does not submit a report in its state of domicile, or if no agreement on information exchange is in force, the Finnish subsidiary must ascertain whether the parent entity has designated one of the group companies to submit reports on its behalf. This company is referred to as a "surrogate parent entity".
Finnish group companies and permanent establishments located in Finland are obligated submit country-by-country reports to the Finnish Tax Administration only in exceptional situations.
More information on constituent entities is available in the detailed guidance on country-by-country reporting in Finnish. The term secondary constituent entity is used in Tax Admnistration documents to refer to an exceptional reporting obligation such as this.
If the situation is unclear, we recommend that you first contact your Ultimate Parent Entity in the country where it is located to ascertain which group company must file the reports. You can also contact the Tax Administration by e-mail: siirtohinnoittelu(a)vero.fi

Our October Mentor of the Month is Karla Walsh. Karla is a mentor to a 4th grade student, Amaria, at Walnut Street School. This is Karla's fourth year with Everybody Wins! Iowa, and her third year reading with Amaria.
Karla works with social media for Better Homes and Gardens at Meredith Corporation during the day, but each Wednesday over her lunch hour, she comes to read with Amaria.
Amaria's favorite kind of books are princess books. She said that she probably read more than 100 of them over the summer!
"Every other book we read a princess book, and then in between those we read something that's a little bit different," Karla said.
Some of Amaria's favorite non-princess books are "A Crooked Kind of Perfect" by Linda Urban and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" by Ian Fleming.
When asked about how her reading skills have improved since starting to read with Karla, Amaria said that she is much more confident. She also reads a lot more at home during her breaks from school. Karla also said that Amaria has become much more outgoing.
Karla will continue to be a mentor to Amaria until she ages out of the program at the end of next year. The two have undoubtedly built a very meaningful relationship with one another.
Thank you for everything you do, Karla!


The Lean Startup Conference is committed to creating an event that is inclusive and accessible.
While we are actively working to include a wide variety of viewpoints and experiences by being intentionally inclusive with our calls for speakers, sponsors, registration, and volunteers, we know that it is also critical that we create an environment that is specifically welcoming to people from communities that have been traditionally marginalized and excluded including, but not limited to, People of Color, disabled people/people with disabilities, LGBTQI people, religious minorities, and women.
People from diverse and marginalized communities are used to being asked to attend events to "create diversity" without actually being made intentionally welcome, or having their perspectives centered or reflected in leadership or from the stage. The Lean Startup Conference is committed to giving more than just lip service to diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, including investments of time and money to earn the participation of a truly diverse group.
There are amazing ideas and information outside of our own experiences. By having speakers and attendees from very different backgrounds and experiences, we learn different approaches to problem-solving, and we gain perspectives we could never have accessed otherwise. The more inclusive and accessible the conference is, the better and the conference will be.
Creating intentionally diverse, inclusive, and accessible spaces is critical to building a future where diversity, inclusion, and accessibility are expected, celebrated, and affirmed. That is a future that we are committed to helping create.
Doing the work to make the conference accessible, and creating a comprehensive Accessibility and Inclusion Guide which will include accessibility information about the conference host city, hotel(s), and venue(s) to be made available on the website two months prior to the conference.


Hello World! That phrase has been typed by countless developers for many years as they learn new programming languages or new technologies. It signifies a birth of something new. The start of a new journey. Because I myself have launched countless "Hello World!" applications, I decided to use it as the title of my first post on my new site. This is a new beginning. The start of a new journey.
In the back of my mind there was always this voice saying "you need to write more" and "your career needs to get more exposure". I always kept telling that voice that I am fine. My body of work can support me. As I get farther into my career, I am starting to see the cracks in that thinking. By writing about technology is challenging, so if you are going to publish to a blog, you force yourself to truly know and understand the technology. You are forced to not make assumptions but to verify your thinking. Verify your experience. It forces you to not just rely on your body of work but to support that body of work.
Now I am forced with deciding what I am going to write about. My day job is in software development operations. It is a "natural" fit for me to write operations but as I wrote above, I want to push my knowledge farther. So yes, I will write about my experiences on the technical side software enginering and operations. I will also write about the business and administration side of software and operations. These subjects are something I am passionate about and want to grow my skillset.
This is the goal of this site. To share my experiences with whoever wants to read them. To force myself to truly understand different technologies and backup that understanding. But most importantly to embrace this new beginning and share as I travel along on a new journey.


The latest release of Altair's flagship simulation platform HyperWorks is now available. HyperWorks 14.0 includes several new products, feature enhancements and updated functionalities, which enable users to access the latest technologies more quickly.
Many of HyperWorks 14.0's modeling and visualization tool enhancements aim to give engineers the ability to leverage larger models and assemblies. For example, users now have access with variant parts within assembly and subassembly models.
These can be passed back and forth between the most popular CAD systems and HyperMesh, which can build different meshes based on the variant parts and the simulation type, which subsequently reduces the necessary time to optimize a mesh.
HyperWorks 14.0 has undo and redo functions that will be compatible for most geometry and meshes, and Altair says these functions will be useful for users creating larger geometry and meshes that have in the past been prone to mistakes.
To support all of these larger models and assemblies, Altair has also released a new graphics engine, which has seen an improvement in rendering speeds with less RAM usage compared with the previous release of the software.

What's your book about?
On May 27, 2014 May 27, 2014 By Abby WilderIn Girl Behind Glass, WritingLeave a comment
Once I finally plucked up the courage to tell people I was writing a novel, the first question, and surprisingly the hardest question to answer, was simply . . . What's your book about?
There are many things I could say about my book. For example, it is a dystopian YA novel.
Young adult?
Does this mean that only people of a certain age will enjoy it?
Certainly not. Most of the people I know who enjoy YA novels, are not what would be termed, as young adults. But more on that subject, and why I choose to write YA later.
I could tell you that it explores such issues as freedom vs security, prejudice and the ever growing gap between the wealthy and the poor.
Or perhaps, I could say it is a hypothetical study on the effects of mass production and genetic modification on our society.
But in truth, those are just words and it is none of these things.
It is a simple story of a girl, probably told countless times before, who discovers that her world, and the things she has been taught to believe, may not be all they seem to be.
I am working on the 'blurb' for my story, which is a lot harder than it sounds, but for now I will leave you with this quote from my novel . . .
On May 22, 2014 May 27, 2014 By Abby WilderIn Personal4 Comments
My real name is not Abby Wilder.
My first name is Abby, and it always has been despite the insistence of some people calling me Abigail, or getting my name confused over the phone and calling me Debbie.
My parents took a little while choosing my name because they were certain I was going to be a boy. My mother had names picked out like, Guy and Miles. My father was in favour of more traditional names like John. So when I popped out as a girl, my father said that he opened the baby names book and just picked the first one. That story isn't true, but I like it anyway.
My surname at birth was my father's. When my mother re-married, I took the name of my step-father because I wanted to be like my mother. It wasn't until I travelled overseas and applied for a passport, that I realised it was never my legal name. So I went back to my Father's name and stayed that way until I married.
I'm proud of the men in my life. I'm proud to have claimed their names as my own, as a daughter, a step-daughter and a wife, so why do I write under a different name?
Because it is a name I have chosen.
It is personal to me. It doesn't simply imply that I am someone's wife, or someone's daughter. It is just a name with no family connections, and one that I'm rather fond of. I also like the way it looks.
But why Wilder?
One of the first series of books I fell in love with, was the 'Little House on the Prairie' series by Laura Ingalls-Wilder. I used to play pretend a lot when I was young and my name was always Laura, most often Laura Wilder, so to me it was an obvious choice. It's something that has been part of the creative side of me for many years.
To change my first name would have been confusing, so I decided to leave it alone.
But despite what I am called, despite which name I choose to use, I assure you, I still smell as sweet.


Where is a good place/reference to brush up on this? I don't know squat about the lab administration portion and last year it was by far my worst section. Since I'm not doing CP I will probably never learn this stuff unless I do so on my own.
Any thoughts? I know some of it is fairly intuitive, but still.
This going to sound odd, but the last chapter of Holladay's Cytopathology Review Guide is money.
Thanks dude. I'll look for it in the resident's library.
But seriously, that lecture hit up almost all the RISE questions that I remember! Not sure if the same lecture was given in LA or Tampa. Good stuff!


In the past, a keylogger is a software which records every keystroke that is made on a computer. It captures every key pressed on the keyboard and then writes it down in a log file which can be viewed by the one performing the monitoring in real-time, or at a later date. Or it remotely send these log files to the one who install the keylogger software on the computer by email.
Recently, many keylogger softwares become more powerful, they can record more things, which usually include: visited websites, contents of clipboard, running applications, screenshots of computer desktop, and so on. Now, though many keylogger softwares become more powerful, there are still some flaws, a computer user can always know a keylogger software is running in the computer when he or she is working or playing on the computer, because there is a keylogger software process in the Windows task manager, or there is a keylogger software window on the Windows desktop, and so on. Many developers say that their keylogger softwares are invisible, but there is always a process of the keylogger software in the Windows task manager. So, is there a really invisible keylogger software?
While a really invisible keylogger software is running in the target computer, there is should not a process of the keylogger software in the Windows task manager. Isurveillancesoft Keylogger software is just a really invisible keylogger software. While it running on the target computer, it is fully invisible, no window on the desktop, no icon on the task bar and no process in the task manager. It sounds goods, but a master of the invisible keylogger software how to setting the invisible keylogger software? and how to view logs?
In fact, when a person first install the invisible keylogger software into the target computer, he or she can set a password and a shortcut key for the invisible keylogger software, and then, while the keylogger software is running in the background, the master of the invisible keylogger software can press the shortcut key and enter the right password to open the control window of the invisible keylogger software. Ok, if you are looking for a professional invisible keylogger software, you can download Isurveillancesoft Keylogger form 'HERE' for free now.
Please attention, when you first install it into the target computer, it will add a tray icon in the tray bar of Windows, you can easily hide it by right-clicking it to pop up a system menu.

Klobuchar Sets Trump's impeachment in the Centre of high-stakes Final pitch in Iowa
This is not how Sen. Amy Klobuchar believed the lead-up into the Iowa caucuses goes.
Rather than lengthy stretches on the street for the type of grassroots, folksy campaigning she chased running for office next door, at her home state of Minnesota, Klobuchar spent the previous fourteen days in Washington, swallowed by President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
In her closing, frenzied twist across Iowa over the weekend, the senator provided an easy closing debate: " The allegations from Trump — and the angry partisan battles awakened by his impeachment — would be precisely why she is running.
"I see this election and my candidacy as truly an extension of this, as what's, this election, yes, it is a financial evaluation," she told voters Saturday at a bicycle shop that served as an overflow for the hundreds of people packed into a brewery next door. "But more than this, it's a decency check"
Following a series of strong debate performances, the gradual winnowing of a crowded main field and constant campaigning, Klobuchar has witnessed that a late polling surge that has pushed her near the upper tier of applicants running for the Democratic nomination.
This weekend, she appeared determined to make up for a lost time, job a seven-city tour which demanded two charter planes to shuttle the offender, her effort and a bunch of reporters across tens of thousands of miles between occasions. And while another senators competing for the nomination rarely said impeachment on the stump here, Klobuchar did not shy off — which makes her experience as a juror in Trump's trial an integral bit of her closing pitch.
Several voters said they had watched Klobuchar throughout the trial, and were amazed at what they saw.
She is"down to earth — such as us," Sherry Foster, 71, said in an event in Cedar Falls, remarking that Klobuchar had walked her query to Chief Justice John Roberts through the trial rather than having a webpage take action. (Senators are permitted to ask written questions from House impeachment managers along with also the president's defense staff, together with all the chief justice presiding over the Senate trial reading them .)
"I enjoy that she is in the Midwest," Foster added.
A solid finish in Iowa for Klobuchar — a fourth-place or better — is essential to providing her the sort of momentum she will have to break into the top tier of applicants while making sure that New Hampshire Republicans give her a close appearance ahead of the nation's primary next Tuesday, Feb. 11.
There is no easy feat in a still-crowded main: In many precincts, fans of applicants with less than 15 percent are permitted to realign along with other applicants, based on state Democratic Party rules.
Klobuchar told NBC News she has been surpassing expectations for weeks and looks forward to doing this again Monday night.
"I've been punching way over my weight. We've got a good foundation," she explained. "So a lot of individuals have spent five times the quantity of cash as us. And we're hanging in there powerful in the top five"
In interviews throughout the country, a rising number of Iowans — most of the girls — said Klobuchar's values and character were swaying their service.
"She feels just like someone I have always understood," Maryfrances Evans, 57, said, flanked by her two brothers in Beaverdale. "We will need to cure so very much better. It is similar to the wounds just keep coming, the panic just keeps coming for their future and what we're going through as a nation, I believe she is the one to attract that."
"You never hear, ever utilize any foul speech or anything, such as Trump does," he explained.
"It's time for individuals to attempt another strategy. The government is not working easily," she stated, adding that reason she enjoys Klobuchar is that"she has tried and true."
At campaign stops on the weekend, Klobuchar contended that"decency" is the best way to face Trump's behavior, such as the allegations in the core of his impeachment: progressing an anxiety campaign that included the withholding of countless military aid to be able to strong-arm Ukraine into launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, another potential 2020 rival.
"The very best and the greatest moments in this nation's history — and worst minutes — have been around democracy, they have been around our Constitution, they have been around people standing up for decency," she stated in Beaverdale, before telling the story of Joseph Welch, an Iowa-born lawyer, who faced Sen. Joseph McCarthy in Senate hearings within his pursuit of Communists.
She explained. "That's exactly what this is all about."
Klobuchar contrasted her huge image talk with tales of her family's humble origins — her grandfather was a miner, who employed a coffee can to save to her dad's future — and claimed that the audience chortling with jokes.
On Monday, Klobuchar did her caucus morning interviews by Washington, where she is back for final arguments at the impeachment trial.
"I believe we are likely to have a really solid showing tonight," she told NBC News' Lester Holt. "I feel a lot of people did not think I would make it through the snowstorm once I made my announcement here I am, among the top five candidates running for president"


Will we ever know the truth about BSE?
Boz magazine, 46: 14-15, February 1998.
You won't have heard of Gerald Wells. He is a vet, and if he appeared on television, with Rolf Harris on his arm and his finger up a dog's bum, he'd be a household name. Mr Wells is one of the great figures of twentieth century pathology, but much of his work has been censored. He is the scientist who in 1986 first recognised BSE in cattle. In 1990 he triumphed again, this time correctly recognising when the disease spread to cats. Not only is he the man who identified 'mad cow disease', but he is also the discoverer of a new 'mad cat disease' which has since been found in ocelots, cheetas and pumas.
Scientists who fight disease form a gallery of celebrities. People know the names of Fleming (penicillin), Jenner (vaccination), Pasteur (sour beer) and even Prusiner (who won the Nobel Prize for coining the 'prion theory' for the spongiform diseases). Where is the name of Wells, the genius who identified these brain diseases for the first time in history? He is nowhere to be seen. He remains invisible because of official censorship. Here, in the most scientific era of all time, there are controls on what the scientific community is allowed to know. When BSE was first recognised it was obviously related to scrapie, the age-old disease of sheep. In Whitehall the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAAF) immediately discouraged anyone from mentioning 'BSE' and 'scrapie' in the same breath.
In 1990 Mr Wells was presented with the body of a Siamese cat named Sam. Even for a Siamese cat, Sam had been acting strangely before his death. Gerald Wells's diligence and scientific skills proved Sam had succumbed to a completely unheard-of condition - it was the first case of feline spongiform encephalopathy. In the time-honoured traditions of science, he prepared a paper describing the discovery of this new disease. The moment the Ministry heard of it, they started denying its veracity. They even used the draconian powers of the Official Secrets Act to censor his conclusions.
A year ago Professor Alan Ebringer of King's College, London wrote to tell me that he had a theory of his own on BSE. He was wondering if it could be related to organisms normally present in the intestines of cattle, and to prove the point he needed to test specimens of serum from cattle with BSE. When he requested some, MAFF refused to let him have any samples. In Scotland, Dr Hugh Fraser (a distinguished specialist in these diseases) admitted that he would no longer be eating sausages and pies, because of the current concern over BSE. He was immediately censured by the Ministry. Stephen Dealler, who had worked in the field for twelve years, began complaining over the secrecy surrounding BSE, and was suddenly told his clinical position was being cancelled. He wrote a vivid book, Lethal Legacy, which documented his battle for the facts of the matter.
Two other eminent scientists felt themselves to be so threatened that they had their books independently published. Richard Lacey's Mad Cow Disease was produced by a small company registered in the Channel Islands, whilst Harash Narang (who claimed to have perfected a test for the disease) borrowed money from his mother to have his book The Link privately printed. It was produced in India. With uneven printing, see-through paper and a cheap plastic jacket, it must be one of the most idiosyncratic books in the history of pathology.
in each case you are subjecting yourself to a higher risk than beef-on-the-bone is ever likely to provide. Beef already threatens us with a greater danger of disease (through its fat content or contamination with E. coli O157) than we currently face from BSE.
Where is the evidence of the epidemic of 'biblical proportions' that is regularly forecast? We have had six or seven cases of the new human form of BSE each year for the last four years. Epidemics always show a steady increase in cases: half a dozen in the first sample, a hundred or two in the second; tens of thousands in the third. Remaining at the same level for several years running does not signify to me that we are on the verge of a major epidemic. This new disease has terrible and tragic consequences, but it remains one of the rarest infections known to science. It is also one of the least infectious diseases ever seen. Millions of people have eaten the infection in beef, yet just over twenty have succumbed. To add to the irony, the legal ban of beef on the bone was announced in the same month as a multi-million pound European subsidy to tobacco farmers.
Science has always been concerned with factual knowledge - suddenly it is being regulated by politicians, and controlled by threats and censorship. The single duty of scientists is to divine the facts; the sole responsibility of health advisers is to make the facts available. The Labour government has boasted of its spirit of openness, and I am not the only scientist who is waiting to see it pull its finger out, and give people the facts.


The choices made eventually resulted in less work at night time and a visible reduction in the peaks and troughs in the workload, and there is a much better alignment between the shift times and the available workload.
In turn, this led to a reduction of the shift allowances.
The flexible solution ultimately resulted in an efficiency improvement of around 10% in the labour costs.
The FloraHolland flower auction plays a pivotal role within the international ornamental plant sector: as a matchmaker, as an intermediary, and as a knowledge centre. The logistical processes of FloraHolland are very dynamic in nature, and it is an enormous challenge to make sure the right people are working in the right place at the right time, 24 hours a day.
The incoming goods department has to deal with considerable peaks and troughs in the workload. It is generally quiet in the middle of the night and in the early morning, but in the afternoon, evening, and start of the night an enormous amount of work has to be carried out. In addition, there are pronounced seasonal trends. FloraHolland wanted to find a solution that would give them the flexibility they needed to cope with all these variables. At the same time, the employees wanted to find a way to align their individual needs with the expected workload. There were also concerns about healthy shift planning, the integration of part-time workers, and arrangements with individual workers.
In order to get a clear understanding of all the different issues, representatives from the parties involved went on an in-company training course on working time management. During this four-day course, the participants performed exercises to help them learn how to translate the theory into practical solutions for their own situation. The exercises and the resulting policy choices and solutions were then discussed by the whole group. With the support of a professional planner, the various shift planning scenarios were drawn up and introduced.
This approach guaranteed the backing and support of the staff for the eventual solution. A number of individual modifications were also made to the central solution after it was introduced. Although there was a heated debate about a reduction of the shift allowances, in the end just about everyone was satisfied. The works council was involved in the project right from the start and endorsed the proposed solution.
The choices made eventually resulted in less work at night time and a visible reduction in the peaks and troughs in the workload. In turn, this led to a reduction of the shift allowance. In addition, there was a much better alignment between the shift times and the available workload, and there was a slight reduction in the core workforce because agency workers can now be used to absorb any unexpected peaks. The ultimate efficiency improvement lead to a drop of around 10% in the labour costs.

It is the reconstruction of the Globe Theatre which was associated with William Shakespeare.
Shakespeare's Globe is based on available evidence of the 1599 & 1644 buildings.
It was the idea of an American Actor, Sam Wanamaker. It was opened to the public in 1997.
Because it a historical place, and because it is associated with W. Shakespeare, who was one of the greatest writers in English language (poet and playwright), it kind of is a must-see.
I've heard that Shakespeare's plays are often complicated to understand and not very attractive to read. That's because these plays were not made to be read but to be performed. And the way the actors perform it, you are able to understand the Middle-English because of body language and expression. Though, if we consider going, it is recommended looking up a summary in advance.

Celtics Survive, Advance
Boston 112, Milwaukee 96
When: 8:00 PM ET, Saturday, April 28, 2018
Where: TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts
Special to Digital Sports Desk by Field Level Media
BOSTON – Terry Rozier had a playoff-career-high 26 points and Al Horford tied his playoff best with 26 points and eight rebounds as the host Boston Celtics beat the Milwaukee Bucks 112-96 in Game 7 of their first-round series Saturday night.
Jayson Tatum added 20 points for Boston, which will face the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals starting Monday night in Boston.
Khris Middleton had 32 to lead Milwaukee, which was denied its first playoff series victory since the 2000-01 season. Despite forcing a seventh game, the Bucks dropped to 0-18 in team history when trailing 0-2 in the playoffs.
Eric Bledsoe scored 23 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo had 22 points, nine rebounds and five assists for Milwaukee.
"We thought we were the better team, but unfortunately we cannot move to the second round," Antentokounmpo said when asked if the Bucks took pride in pushing the series to seven games. "It was a good series, but we thought we were the better team.
The Celtics played in their NBA-record 31st Game 7, improving to 23-8. The Bucks dropped to 2-8 lifetime in decisive seventh games.
"We're on edge. Everything's on the line, and I felt like our players, we felt that," Horford told NBC Sports Boston after the game. "We've been doing this all year. Guys were coming together at different times and making plays, and that's what we did tonight."
The home team won every game of the best-of-seven series.
Boston's Jaylen Brown exited the game late in the first half with a sore right hamstring. He was spotted riding an exercise bicycle at the start of the second half and was later deemed available to return but did not. Brown finished with two points.
The Bucks never got within single digits after that, and the Celtics led by as many as 19.
Boston led 50-42 at halftime.

Rays Take It To Sox
Tampa Bay 12, Boston 6
Where: Fenway Park, Boston
BOSTON – Denard Span, Wilson Ramos, Carlos Gomez and Johnny Field all homered Saturday as the Tampa Bay Rays won their eighth straight game, plastering the Boston Red Sox 12-6 at Fenway Park in Boston.
Scoring in every inning but the first and fourth, Tampa Bay finished with a total of 18 hits in its latest offensive onslaught. The Rays have scored a whopping 63 runs in their hot stretch, plating eight runs or more in six different games.
Tampa Bay snapped a 5-5 tie in the sixth when second baseman Eduardo Nunez committed a throwing error after Matt Duffy's infield single, enabling Adeiny Hechavarria to score.
The Rays played add-on from that point. Gomez led off the seventh with a long homer to left over the Green Monster, his fourth of the year. Jesus Sucre upped the lead to 8-5 in the eighth with an RBI double.
Tampa Bay made it a rout in the ninth with four more runs. Brad Miller knocked in Span with a single and Field lofted a three-run shot just over the wall in left for his first major league homer.
Ryan Yarbrough (1-1) pitched four innings of relief for his first big league victory. He permitted three hits and two runs, walking none and fanning six. Starter Yonny Chirinos lasted only two-plus innings, yielding six hits and three runs with two walks and three strikeouts.
David Price (2-3) was tagged with the loss after a shaky 5 2/3 innings. Price gave up eight hits and six runs, five of them earned, walking four and whiffing five.
Staked to a 1-0 edge after Xander Bogaerts' sacrifice fly in the first, Price ran into problems with the long ball. Span's liner to right-center field eluded Jackie Bradley Jr. with Ramos aboard. The play was originally scored a hit and an error but was changed to an inside-the-park homer, the second of Span's career.
Ramos touched Price for a two-run shot in the third, his fourth of the year. Price also walked Daniel Robertson with the bases loaded in the fifth.
Rafael Devers cracked a solo shot for the Red Sox, finishing the day 3-for-5 with two RBIs.
Red Sox leadoff man Mookie Betts left the game in the top of the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness and is day-to-day, the team announced. Meanwhile, the Rays removed Ramos after a long single in the top of the seventh with bilateral leg tightness. He, too, is day-to-day.

Brand New Day …
Boston at Tampa Bay
Where: Amalie Arena, Tampa, Florida
Preview for Digitasl Sports Desk by Gracenote
TAMPA – The Tampa Bay Lightning will be a very well-rested team when they host the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. The Lightning wrapped up their first-round series April 21 by topping New Jersey in five games while the Bruins trailed by a goal going into the decisive Game 7 before rallying for a 7-4 victory over Toronto on Wednesday.
Tampa Bay will benefit from the break physically and mentally, and the players don't expect any rust Saturday: "We've had a really good week of practicing," Lightning right wing Ryan Callahan told reporters. "Our practices have been intense, upbeat. It shouldn't be an issue." The Bruins won the first three games in the season series before suffering a 4-0 defeat at Tampa Bay in the finale April 3 with a 33-shutout from Andrei Vasilevskiy, who had a dazzling .941 save percentage in the first-round series for the Lightning. David Pastrnak is third in the league in scoring during the playoffs with 13 points for Boston, which averaged four goals in the first round, and fellow right wing Nikita Kucherov led Tampa Bay with five goals and five assists against New Jersey. "They have had time to rest and if they had any injuries probably get a little healthier," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters. ". … But for us going into Saturday we are battle-tested and we have to bring that mentality into the next round."
TV: 3 p.m. ET, NBC, Sportsnet, TVA
ABOUT THE BRUINS: Pastrnak, left wing Brad Marchand (nine points), Torey Krug (eight points) and captain Zdeno Chara (plus-5 rating) were solid in the first round, but goalie Tuukka Rask (2.94 goals-against, .899 save percentage) must be better. "Some games he played really, really well," Boston general manager Don Sweeney told reporters. "At the end of the day we have a lot of confidence in Tuukka, and I think going into the next series we'll remain the same level of confidence that we can get the job done and he'll be there for us." Rookie left wing Jake DeBrusk matched Pastrnak with five goals to lead the Bruins in the first round.
ABOUT THE LIGHTNING: Tampa Bay was much improved on the penalty kill in the first-round series, giving up three goals on 19 attempts (two when down two skaters), but face a Bruins team that was 7-for-22 with the man advantage against Toronto. Ryan McDonagh, who had four assists in the first round, and Anton Stralman have become the shutdown pair that will often face the Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-Pastrnak line while Norris Trophy candidate Victor Hedman is averaging a team-high 26:24 of ice time. Left wing Alex Killorn recorded four goals in the first round after managing 15 in the regular season, which was eighth-best on the team.
1. Boston F Sean Kuraly had four points and a plus-5 rating in the first round and owns four goals in 11 career playoff contests.
2. Kucherov boasts 52 points in 50 career playoff games, tied with Vincent Lecavalier for second on the franchise's all-time postseason scoring list.
3. Bruins C David Krejci has 85 career playoff points and needs two to tie Cam Neely for seventh on the team's all-time postseason scoring list.

Seven Up …
Milwaukee at Boston
Where: TD Garden, Boston
BOSTON – The home team won the first six games of the first-round series between Milwaukee and Boston and Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is out to change that pattern in Saturday's Game 7. The "Greek Freak" can add to his reputation if he can steer Milwaukee past the Celtics in Boston and into the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Antetokounmpo recorded 31 points and 14 rebounds as the Bucks forced a Game 7 with Thursday's 97-86 victory, and the seventh-seeded Bucks clearly know what to expect in their fourth game in Boston in the series. "It's going to be crazy. It's do or die at this point," Bucks forward Khris Middleton told reporters. "The crowd in Boston is rowdy, just like they are (in Milwaukee). It's going to be a great game. There are no secrets between teams. It comes down to who has more will." The second-seeded Celtics weren't supposed to receive such a tussle from the Bucks and are unexpectedly in need of a win to keep their season alive. "The result is our guys get to experience a Game 7, which, again, we didn't want," Celtics coach Brad Stevens told reporters. "Game 7 in TD Garden is what you play for. It should be what you're excited most about. What you worked for all summer, what you worked for all year. It's a blast."
TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), NBCS Boston
ABOUT THE BUCKS: Antetokounmpo scored 30 or more points on three occasions in the series but his aggressiveness was back at a star level on Thursday after he took just 10 shots in a Game 5 loss in Boston. "I thought he played great," Bucks interim head coach Joe Prunty told reporters of Antetokounmpo. "I don't think he forced anything. I think he took opportunities that were there for him. He knows the spots to get to, but we also have to give him spacing around him to make sure we are in the right spots so that he has room to operate. … Overall, Giannis played an outstanding game." The play of Antetokounmpo (26.3 points, 9.7 rebounds) and Middleton (23.5 average) has been consistently good but the duo needs someone from the trio of guard Eric Bledsoe (12 points per game), forward Jabari Parker (10.2) and guard Malcolm Brogdon (9.8) to step up on Saturday.
ABOUT THE CELTICS: The failure to close out the series in Milwaukee didn't faze most of the Boston players as they return to a venue in which they have won three times during the playoff matchup. "This is where home-court advantage comes up, where we've been playing the right way all season," second-year shooting guard Jaylen Brown told reporters. "This is where playing the right basketball all year long is going to come to a benefit. Game 7, a lot of people haven't experienced it on this team. It's crazy, and I expect nothing short of a tremendous performance from everybody." Brown (20.5) is one of five Celtics averaging in double digits in the series with center Al Horford (16.8 points, 8.8 rebounds), guard Terry Rozier (16.2), small forward Jayson Tatum (14.7) and power forward Marcus Morris (13.8) being the others.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. Boston won its three previous home games in the series by an average of 8.3 points.
2. Morris (thigh) was injured in Game 6 and insists he is fine for the series finale.
3. Milwaukee C John Henson (back) will likely miss his fifth straight game.
Catching Some Rays …
Tampa Bay at Boston
Where: Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
BOSTON – Daniel Robertson is establishing himself as an everyday performer and has played a big part in the surprising seven-game winning streak for the Tampa Bay Rays. The versatile infielder, who boasts a .507 on-base percentage overall, looks to extend his hitting streak to eight games when the Rays visit the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon for the middle contest of a three-game series.Robertson is 13-for-27 during his streak and belted his third homer in a 4-3 victory at Boston on Friday while catcher Wilson Ramos launched a two-run blast in the first inning and has hit safely in eight consecutive games (12-for-32). Rookie Yonny Chirinos will try to continue his early success against the Red Sox when he takes the mound Saturday, while former Ray standout David Price goes for Boston. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts returned to the lineup after missing 15 games with ankle injury and recorded three hits for the Red Sox on Friday to improve to 15-for-31 against Tampa Bay this season. Boston's J.D. Martinez is starting to warm up while going 4-for-8 with a homer and five RBIs in the last two games to improve his batting average to .315 overall.
TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Tampa Bay), NESN (Boston)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Yonny Chirinos (0-1, 2.92 ERA) vs. Red Sox LH David Price (2-2, 2.93)
Chirinos has not been as good in his last two starts (eight runs allowed, 10 1/3 innings) as he was in his first two major league starts (10 1/3 scoreless innings, seven hits given up). The 24-year-old Venezuelan struck out a season-high six over 4 2/3 innings while giving up two runs and four hits in a no-decision against Minnesota last time out. Chirinos faced the Red Sox in his first two big-league appearances, yielding four hits across nine scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and one walk.
Price suffered his second loss in three starts last Sunday when he surrendered four runs on nine hits over 7 2/3 innings at Oakland in a 4-1 setback. The 32-year-old Vanderbilt product limited the Rays to seven hits in 14 scoreless innings in two starts to open the season, but has walked 10 batters in his last four outings (20 2/3 innings). Carlos Gomez (0-for-20) and Denard Span (1-for-12) have had trouble with Price, who is 4-3 with a 3.09 ERA in 11 appearances (10 starts) against his former team.
1. Boston UTIL Brock Holt (left hamstring strain) was placed on the 10-day disabled list to make room for Bogaerts.
2. Tampa Bay 3B Matt Duffy (hamstring) returned to the lineup Friday after missing seven games and went 1-for-5.
3. Red Sox RHP Craig Kimbrel, who has given up one run in 11 games, is two saves shy of becoming the 29th player to reach 300 in major league history.

The traditional liposuction involves surgical removal of fat from stubborn areas like the thighs or waist. It leads to immediate weight reduction and elimination of fat. When done by a skilful surgeon, the scars can be easily masked.
It is a surgery done to remove a small portion of the stomach, helping to decrease hunger and thereby inducing weight loss.
I am sure that you must have heard of these and though the weight loss does take place, these pills have bad side-effects. Weight loss pills must be taken under the supervision of a doctor. Most weight loss pills have either one of the two property — they increase your metabolism or inhibit the absorption of fat in the gut. On discontinuation, one tends to normally regain weight and thus medical supervision is advised.
U-lipo stands for Ultrasound liposuction and involves the use of low-frequency ultrasound waves, which target the fat cells in the body which lie beneath the skin. They cause destruction of the fat cells, forcing fat to be eliminated by the cells, which is then eventually eliminated from the body by the lymphatic tissue. U-lipo has a far better advantage as compared to normal liposuction, because it doesn't involve any form of surgery. Plus it helps in losing weight systematically and you don't have to deal with scars.
This involves replacing your normal food with a supplement, which contains scientifically adjusted nutrients that have been properly balanced so that you get all the required nutrition and without compromising on your hunger. Though this seems to be a good option, we must bear in mind that one cannot depend on it lifelong as a weight-loss solution. Most food replacement supplements are costly and thus it's quite an affordability issue.
These options seem to offer a better prospect in terms of losing weight. However, one must way their options carefully. For those who are excessively obese, liposuction may seem the quickest option to lose fat and get their weight under control. For those who are patient, and are not keen on going under the knife, U-lipo and supplement replacement seems to be the way. However, the golden rule remains unchanged. Small changes lead to big results. Make a positive change in your diet, walk a flight of stairs, avoid taking an auto for short distances, etc. These small changes will really contribute in a big way to staying fit and slim. Till then…. stay healthy!!!

Q: Semantics of simulating a 64bit integer with two 32bit integers (hi, lo) I am working in a system which only supports 32bit integers, in order to have a 64bit (unsigned) integer I decided to simply use two 32bit integers with one being the upper 32 bits (hi), and the other being the lower 32 bits (lo).
I also needed to create arithmetic for this [hi, lo] structure, but I found it near impossible to search for already existing arithmetic on such structures. The only useful thing I could find is the arithmetic written in openSUSE: https://github.com/openSUSE/checkmedia/blob/master/u64.h
Is there a name for what I'm trying to do? (Simulating a double-wide integer with a [hi, lo] structure and implementing arithmetic using bitwise operations)
'Arbitrary-precision arithmetic' is close, however I'm not working with infinite precision.

A: Given any system which supports standard math operations -- add, subtract, multiply, divide -- on n bits, you first need to keep in mind some rules. If you are using sign-magnitude representation you lose a bit of potential value, but the math is simpler.  If you are only handling unsigned, it simplifies even more. The rules below presume you are using twos-complement number representation.

*

*The max absolute value you can store is 2^(n-1) in any n-bit location. The total range is -2^(n-1)...0...+(2^(n-1)-1), e.g. -32768...0...+32767 for 16-bit twos-complement numbers.

*Addition of two numbers with the same sign can generate an answer with n+1 bits required to represent the result: 2^(n-1) + 2^(n-1) == 2 * 2^(n-1) == 2^(n-1+1) == 2^(n)

*Subtraction of two numbers with opposite sign can also generate an answer with n+1 bits required to represent the result.

*Multiplication of two numbers can generate an answer with 2n-2 bits required to represent the result: 2^(n-1) * 2^(n-1) == 2^(n-1+n-1) == 2^(2n-2)

*Division is always hardest! You must somehow handle zero-divisor, and you have to consider whether to round or not for integer division, and floating-point? Well, implementing floating-point standards -- IEEE 754 -- is not trivial, but I have done it. Intel botched accuracy of the first Pentium Floating-point implementation with a small bug.

All modern processors support addition/subtraction.  Floating-point units are still the exception rather than the norm, but are becoming more widely used.
For the system you describe, you have two 32-bit values, which you can further subdivide into four 16-bit values or eight 8-bit values.  The algorithms are the same, you just have to iterate more. This page describes the basic rules for two's-complement arithmetic.
I will presume you have access to register-level processor access so you can get at status bits like carry, overflow, etc.
Given two 64-bit numbers, X = ab and Y = cd and Result = KL, where a, b, c, d, K, and L are "32-bit digits" in your numberland the following approaches work:
Addition:

*

*L = b + d. Set Cl to the carry value after the addition.

*K = a + c + Cl. (If more than two 'digits', track the carry and move up the chain to higher-order digits.)

*Use the addition rule to check for overflow in KL.

Subtraction:

*

*L = b - d. Set Cl to the underflow (same as carry on a lot of processors) value after the addition.

*K = a - c - Cl. (If more than two 'digits', track the underflow/carry and move up the chain.)

*Use the subtraction rule to check for overflow in KL.

As described in the link above, multiplication and division can be performed by addition and subtraction, but you must account for a possible 128-bit result.
 subterm bits:    64       96           96         128
=========================================================
X * Y = ab * cd = b*d + b*c << 32 + a*d << 32 + a*c << 64

i.e. 4 multiplies and 3 adds.
...however, you must account for the intermediate terms which can be larger than your 64-bit numberland.
Represent the result as 2 of your 64-bit numbers, either as an array of two, or as a struct with 4 32-bit values.  The following shows use of an array, because it is extensible to arbitrary precision by making the array larger.
Let result = R[2], where each entry in R is one of your 64-bit numbers:
Initialize result (simplifies the algorithm a bit.)
R[0].lo = 0;    // call this L, lowest-order result "digit"
R[0].hi = 0;    // call this K
R[1].lo = 0;    // call this J
R[1].hi = 0;    // call this I, highest-order result "digit"

If X.hi is a, X.lo is b, Y.hi is c, and Y.lo is d, this becomes
(KL)  = X.lo * Y.lo;      // 62-bits max, rule #4.
                          // Note no carry possible from K.
                          // Carry from L handled by Addition, above.
(JK) += X.lo * Y.hi;      // 63-bits max, rule #4, #2.
                          // Note that K contains the value from the
                          // previous step, hence the "+=" operator.
                          // Also note no carry possible from J.
                          // Carry from K handled by Addition, above.
(JK) += X.hi * Y.lo;      // 64-bits max, rule #4, #2.
                          // Note that JK contains the value from the
                          // previous step, hence the "+=" operator.
                          // Also note no carry possible from J.
                          // Carry from K handled by Addition, above.
(IJ) += X.hi * Y.hi;      // 62-bits max, rule #4, #2.
                          // Note that J contains the value from the
                          // previous step, hence the "+=" operator.
                          // Also note no carry possible from I
                          // because we kept a 128-bit result.
                          //  If we only wanted a 64-bit result,
                          // the overflow tests would be by testing K.

Now apply the addition rules from the link above to determine if you overflowed 64 bits.
For subtraction you do the same, subtracting instead of adding, and tracking underflow for Rc.  Then you apply the subtraction rules from the link to determine if you overflowed 64 bits.
Once you have multi-precision working for addition/subtraction for two "digits" of arbitrary bit width, extending it to three, four, etc., is very straightforward.
Then, for simplicity, you use the multiply/divide approach used in the above link to multiply and divide in your two-digit system or any higher-precision system.
