UK first as Durham ovarian cancer patient gets new drug
By Published June 20, 2017
A COUNTY Durham woman who has been battling ovarian cancer for more than five years has become the first in the UK to benefit from a new drug to prevent a recurrence of the disease.
The 46-year-old, who does not want to be named, is a patient of Dr Talal Mansy, a consultant medical oncologist at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
Dr Mansy was able to secure the drug, Niraparib, for his patient on the NHS through an application to a special 'Early Access Program' that has seen her become the first UK patient outside of clinical trials to use it.
Dr Mansy explained the drug is one of a new class called PARP inhibitors, which has recently been shown to benefit most patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who are "responding to platinum based chemotherapy".
Dr Mansy said: "When used as a maintenance treatment following platinum chemotherapy, it helps to prolong the time it takes for ovarian cancer to flare up [recur]."
He added the greatest benefit has been seen in patients with the gene mutation BRCA, which makes them more susceptible to certain cancers, in particular breast and gynaecological cancers.
"Niraparib is still awaiting a European licence for this form of maintenance treatment though it got a licence in the USA in March 2017," he said.
"I have been extremely fortunate to be able to access it early, before European approval and certainly before it has been evaluated by NICE for use within the NHS."
The married patient said she was delighted that the drug could offer her the chance to "lead as normal a life as possible" with her diagnosis, including looking forward to forthcoming exotic holidays abroad.
She said: "When you are poorly like this and you have been battling cancer for five years, all you want is to be back to normal."
The lady's cancer was discovered in 2011, after surgery to remove what was initially thought to be a benign cyst led to her left ovary being completely removed and sent away for precautionary testing.
Within days, at just 41, she learned the devastating news that cancer had been discovered and was thought to have started in either her ovary or fallopian tube.
A full hysterectomy followed and it was thought the cancer had been cured.
"I was shocked, but we just got on with our lives," the patient said.
"We didn't really talk about it that much. Initially they were sure they had got rid of it all, but just needed to check."
However, later appointments revealed further microscopic cells had been discovered and follow up chemotherapy was required.
Six months later and while still subject to regular testing, raised lymph nodes triggered alarm bells and this latest "flare up" was treated with further chemotherapy.
The patient was also put on the maintenance drug Avastin.
Unfortunately, further flare ups saw traces of cancer being discovered on the patient's liver, and she needed surgery to remove this.
Further spots have also been found on the patient's liver and kidney and treated with chemotherapy earlier this year.
The continuous flare ups and repeated need for chemotherapy prompted her to continuously ask about the possibility of further maintenance drugs - and Dr Mansy to eventually suggest Niraparib.
"It's such a big relief to know that this is available and I can keep things at bay for longer with this drug," said the patient.
"Both me and my husband are over the moon and can't thank Dr Mansy enough."
Dr Mansy said: "It is extremely exciting for James Cook to be able to offer our patients the newest treatments to help them obtain the best possible outcome for their cancer.
"I would like to say a special thank you to the Trust for allowing me to use this drug, as well as to the Trust Pharmacy team and the Outpatient Clinic Nurses for making this possible."

NASA Television will broadcast live coverage of a six-hour spacewalk by two Russian crew members aboard the International Space Station beginning at 9:45 a.m. EDT Monday, Aug. 10.
Expedition 44 Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Mikhail Kornienko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) will don their spacesuits and exit the station's Pirs airlock at 10:14 a.m.
Their objectives are to rig new equipment on the Russian segment of the station and conduct a detailed photographic inspection of the exterior of the orbiting outpost.
Padalka and Kornienko will install devices called gap spanners on the hull of the station. These devices will facilitate the movement of crew members on future spacewalks.
They also will clean residue off of the windows of the Zvezda Service Module, install fasteners on communications antennas, replace an aging antenna used for the rendezvous and docking of visiting vehicles at Russian docking ports, and photograph a variety of locations and hardware on Zvezda and nearby modules.
The pair also will retrieve an experiment first deployed in 2013, the Obstanovka Experiment, which studies the interaction between the space station and the space plasma environment in low-Earth orbit, as it can affect power supply systems and other external surfaces.
The spacewalk will be the 188th in support of space station assembly and maintenance, and the 10th spacewalk for Padalka, who has spent more time in space than any other human. It will be the second spacewalk for Kornienko, who is in the fifth month of a one-year mission on the complex.
Padalka will be designated extravehicular crew member 1 (EV1) and Kornienko will be extravehicular crew member 2 (EV2). Both will wear Russian Orlan spacesuits bearing blue stripes.


Adam Moore got the game started in the bottom of the first with an RBI single. In the top 2, Rupp tied it back up with a solo HR. In the top of the third, Wall and Everest hit solo homers, Eckert hit a 2-R, and Rupp got an RBI single to make it 6-1. The Mariners had a huge inning in the third. Ichiro and Ackley got RBI doubles, Moore got another RBI sinlge, Smoak got an RBI 2B, and Mike Carp hit a 3-R jack. That made it 8-6 for the Mariners. In the top of the fourth, McClester hit a 2-R to tie it up at 8-8. In the fifth, Braquonda Matchelder got a pinch-hit homer for the Talons. Then Wall got a 2-R single to extend the lead to 3. In the top 6, Sandoval hit a 3-R bomb to make it 14-8. The Mariners had another big inning in the 6th, as Moore got himself another RBI single to get the rally started. Saunders got an RBI single and Carp hit another 3-R HR to reduce the lead to 1. In the bottom of the 7th, Smoak got the Mariners their lead back with a 2-R single. That made it 15-14. In the top of the 8th, Troy Eckert got a clutch 2-R HR to give the Talons their lead. Titus Shannon came in in the ninth and shut the Mariners down for the save.
Last night Vladimir Ostanpovic had the worst start of his career giving up 7 runs in 8 1/3 innings. Tony Bradford got a 2-R single in the first and then Jake Grindell got an RBI single to make it 3-0. In the top 2, Joakim Santana hit a solo to make it 4-0 for the Drive. In the bottom of the 2nd, the Talons finally got on the scoreboard with a Rupp 2-R HR. Then, Wall, Everest, and Miller got RBI doubles to make it 5-4. In the third, Legend and Rupp hit solo shots to make it 7-4. Grisales got a RBI single and Smith hit a 2-R 2B to tie it up at 7-7. Everest got a ribbibe double and McClester, Eckert, and Stephen hit solo jacks to make it 11-7. In the bottom of the fifth, Wall got an RBI GO and Miller hit a 2-R HR. In the bottom six, M.J. hit a 2-R 2B. After that, it was 16-7. In the seventh, Eckert got an RBI 2B, Stephen hit a 2-R HR, and Sandoval hit a solo shot to extend the lead to 20-7. In the top nine, Greg Jamison got an RBI pinch hit to make it 20-8 but that was not enough.
I let Stephen Legend play DH. And the Astros offered me Wesley Wright and Jordan Lyles for Braquonda Matchelder. I accepted cuz I really need high top speed relievers.
Poor Drive... Hey Zero, do you know how to check messages?
Oh ya, sorry didnt see that message.
Cuz, I need Kershaw for 08 but I found one.
Whered you get your David Price?
BTW, in this season, Ostanpovic, Cueto, and Halladay have thrown no-hitters. Ostanpovic's was a perfect game. It was his second start.
Last night, Pelleti Gregorio had yet another shaky start. In the first he gave up an RBI 2B to Justin Smoak and a 2-R single to Michael Saunders. The Mariners took a 3-0 lead in the first. The Talons got it back with 2-R homers by Miller and Eckert to make it 4-3. In the bottom of the third, Eckert hit another 2-R HR to make it 6-3. Gregorio came out after 4, because he was tired. The Talons brought in new reliever, Jordan Lyles. In the fifth, Chase Battle got an RBI 2B to extend the lead to 4. In the sixth, McClester got a 2-R 2B, Eckert hit a 2-R HR and Sandoval got an RBI 2B to make it 12-3. In the top of 7, Adam Moore got an RBI single and Saunders got a 2-R triple to make it 12-6. Everest hit a sac fly to make it 13-6. In the eighth, Figgins hit a bucket full of chinse to score a run to make it 13-7. Battle hit a 2-R HR to finish off the opposition. 15-7.
Wow! I am so sad apparently I deleted this save file. I guess the Talons are done. I iz very sad, I really wanted to play '07.
Sure you're not just using the wrong memory card? That's happened to me before.
I went into all 4 of my memory cards and it wasn't there.
You have four memory cards?

How Gamer Chat App Discord Is Connecting Artists With Core Fans
By Tatiana Cirisano
Courtesy of Soulection
The online chat platform is growing beyond gaming as acts like Soulection and mxmtoon use it to connect with, and expand, their audiences.
Drop into record label and music collective Soulection's 3,400-member server on the chat platform Discord, and you'll find members debating the best home recording equipment, collaborating on a song or suggesting ideas for Soulection merchandise, their usernames endlessly populating the platform's gray chat with flickers of emojis and GIFs. They may even be coupling up, says Soulection co-founder Joe Kay.
"It's literally a matchmaker," he says, "a new community connector with people."
Kay launched Soulection's invite-only Discord server — which acts as a digital conversation hub — in April to give the label's fans a place to gather online during the pandemic. But it turned into something bigger, where Kay gets fan feedback on unreleased music, offers first looks at merch and hosts listening parties for Apple Music's weekly Soulection Radio broadcast. Even though Discord doesn't actually host music itself, Kay calls it "SoundCloud 2.0" because of the way it fosters community. "It's one thing to have a social media following of a million-plus people, but we're getting a direct communication line," he says. "This is what we've been searching for."
Soulection
Streaming Is Stalling: Can Music Keep Up in the Attention Economy?
Discord was founded in 2015 and is free to use, with about 70 million active weekly users and 6.7 million total servers. Many are technically "invite-only," but links to join are generally shared openly online. On each server, users chat within "channels" focused on different topics that are designated by the server owner and can be text-, voice-, photo- or video-based: Soulection's range from "sound-share," where producers can get feedback on their beats, to "the-garden," where users share photos of their houseplants.
While Discord has traditionally served as a forum for video game players to chat while gaming, it's now attracting people with all kinds of interests who are seeking new ways to stay in touch amid the coronavirus pandemic — in the same way that Twitch, TikTok and the new audio-only chat app Clubhouse have seen usage surge. "Many of our users just want a place to hang out and talk in the comfort of their own communities, whether that be catching up or sharing what you're listening to," says Discord manager of community and social marketing Mallory Loar, which is why the company rebranded itself with a new slogan in June: "Your place to talk."
There are now more people in the music industry using Discord than ever, either to build fan communities or collaborate on music. During one week in August, for example, about 300,000 users joined a Discord server tagged under the "music" category, a 200% jump from the weekly average pre-pandemic, according to the company, and about 900,000 users actively participated in music-related communities that week, a 100% increase from pre-pandemic.
The Music Industry's Hottest Club Is Clubhouse. What Happens When the App Goes Wide?
In July, Wiz Khalifa shared a yet-to-be-released song exclusively to his 7,600-member Discord server, and asked users to suggest a song title (they chose "Slim Peter") and album art. The 59,000-member "Hip-Hop" server run by Seoul-based food critic Jeff Kim, who launched it in 2016 "to carve out a lane for live hip-hop chat," often hosts celebrity guests like Pusha T, whose "Ask Me Anything" in March drew 125,500 messages. Producer Kenny Beats' 82,000-member server has become an education and support resource for aspiring acts where users recently pooled money to replace someone's stolen DJ equipment. And the platform has led to at least one recent hit: Singer osquinn's song "Bad Idea" was created during a February Discord session with producer blackwinterwells and now has 1.7 million streams on Spotify.
What sets Discord apart from other platforms is its ratio of exclusivity and inclusivity. "There's an invisible barrier to entry because it's not exactly intuitive to everyone, but that's kind of a good thing," says Geffen Records digital marketing director Kelly Duroncelet, who helped launch ZEDD's now 13,000-member server last summer when she was working at Paradigm Talent Agency. "That guardrail gets rid of a lot of troll-type behavior. You'll see artists migrating to their servers to do live chatting with people [because] it's more comfortable with that sort of fan."
That direct connection to fans is why artists like indie act mxmtoon see their Discord servers as essential, even though the platform currently doesn't have monetization capabilities. "There are very few ways to directly address fans, and Twitter and Instagram put you on a pedestal of unattainability," says mxmtoon, who hosts listening parties for new releases on her 10,000-member server. "Discord breaks down all those walls."
Five Takeaways From TikTok's First-Ever Annual Music Report
Many artists use Discord to draw fans to platforms that are monetized, like Twitch or online merch stores. On mxmtoon's Discord, her paid Twitch subscribers are set apart by pink text usernames (bestowing them with what's known on Discord as a new "role"), while pop-rock band Anamanaguchi offers access to a private Discord server as a perk to paying Patreon subscribers.
Loar says monetization features may be forthcoming. She and her team now work directly with artists and managers to help them benefit from the platform and have supported labels including Monstercat (25,800 members) and Anjunabeats (4,700) in launching servers of their own for fans.
On Soulection's server, Kay plans to soon preview the collective's upcoming, long-delayed membership product, Soulection Plus; host workshops with producers; and set up monthly video catch-ups with fans. "It's very important [for artists] to be at the forefront of technology and what's next," he says. "I don't see us ever looking back."

No time to meal prep.
I never get enough sleep.
You'd think that time is running out! Well, I guess it is but that's another talk ?
Here's something I heard a few days ago on a podcast – The average person spends 16% of their day in front of a TV.
If you did the math on sleeping 7 hours per night, that comes out to almost 3 hours per day watching TV!
That said, I checked the website Statista and they say that the average American spends 4.89 hours per day in front of the TV.
Between those two estimates, that's somewhere between 2.5 – 5 hours per day in front of the TV.
Now get this, that's only TV (including the various streaming services).
Then you have social media and email.
A Grant Cardone podcast said that we check our email 50 times PER HOUR!
Statista says that we are on social media for 2 hours per day.
I'm assuming that includes all of the 2-3 minute distracted "squirrel" moments throughout the day.
Having meaningless conversations about the things we DON'T like (politics we don't agree on, sports figures we are mad at, singers who wore an outrageous outfit, work gossip, etc.).
By the time you add that up, it's scary, to say the least. My guess is that that we spend more than 8 hours per day being unproductive.
Yet, most people get to the end of the day and feel like they went through a tornado. Exhausted!
No doubt everyone is busy but how much of that time is productive/focused time?
It's interesting to think about. What if a good chunk of that time is, in fact, unproductive time?
I know one thing for sure: I've never heard of a person who, on their death bed, wished they had spent more of their life watching TV.
Now I'm not suggesting you go cold turkey on TV. (Shawn fact: I stopped watching TV 12 years ago. I now watch about 90 minutes per WEEK between 1 show and sports recaps on YouTube).
But I'm suggesting that if you feel like you never have enough time, it would be worth your while to look at where you are SPENDING IT.
You can spend it however you choose.
If you choose to spend it on the couch, hey that's fine.
But if that's your choice, you can't really say you don't have enough time to workout or eat better.
Think about the people who have accomplished great things. Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos from Amazon, Elon Musk and others.
They have the same 24 hours in a day that we do. But they have become experts at time investment.
They spend their time in such a focused way that, when we look at their accomplishments, it almost makes our heads spin.
They run circles around the rest of us in terms of productivity.
If you are still convinced that you don't have enough time, there's only one way that you can legitimately make that argument.
Account for 24 hours of your day for one week straight.
I tracked every minute of my day for a week straight and to be honest I was shocked.
Let's just say I broke up with that whole "not enough time" thing after that.
So, check in with yourself. Limited time is one of the biggest reasons people don't do things they want.
If that resonates with you, track your wasted time vs productive time and I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised with how much time you actually do have.
Then, do a little re-organizing with how you invest your time.
If weight loss, more energy, and better health are goals you have, I bet you can find the time.
less than 30 minutes per day.
That's an hour or less per day to lose fat, gain energy, improve your health, feel more confident naked, and so on.
I'd say it's worth the trade-off.
Time is finite. You can't get more, but you have total control over how you invest it.
Thanks for reading Friend. What do you think?
P.S. Are you coming Saturday to the Client-only Mastermind? Let me know, ok?

Q: JS variable hoisting inside closure JS hoists all variables within scope so why does this code throw an exception:
(function() {

  function i() {
      console.log(a.a);
  }
  i();
  var a = { a:1 };
})()

While this one works:
(function() {
  var a = { a:1 };
  function i() {
      console.log(a.a);
  }
  i();

})()

What behavior of interpreter causes this?

A: The variable a is already visible, but its value {a:1} is not assigned until the var is reached by the execution. Things are somewhat different for local functions declared with function foo(){...} because the names are bound to the respective functions/closures before the execution starts.
If you call the closure i before assigning a a value you get the problem, however with
(function(){
     function i(){
         console.log(foo());
     }
     i();
     function foo() { return 42; }
})();

the output is 42 and there's no error.
Note that this is true because the function statement is used... changing the code to
(function(){
     function i(){
         console.log(foo());
     }
     i();
     var foo = function(){ return 42; }
})();

gives an error because in this case when i() is executed foo is not yet bound to the function (like in your case).

Ireland wants Joyce's fart-huffing bones back
Dublin wants James Joyce's bones. As this article insinuates, you can't go three steps there without bumping into something Joyce-related, so what is a macabre trophy like his corpse going to add to that?
This question of return has lately been raised again, in the form of two Dublin city councillors, Dermot Lacey and Paddy McCartan, proposing a motion to seek the repatriation of his remains in time for the centenary of Ulysses's publication in 2022. There is no evidence that Joyce himself ever expressed a desire to be buried in the country of his birth, but the councillors cited an apparent effort by his widow Nora in the late 1940s to have his remains returned to Dublin. "The benefit of this," said Lacey, "is that you're honouring someone's last wishes." But of course the honouring of Nora's wishes – evidence for which, as the Joyce scholar Sam Slote pointed out in the Irish Times, is not all that compelling – was hardly the true motivation for digging up her husband's earthly remains and sticking them on the next Ryanair flight out of Zurich. "I'm not going to be cynical about bones," Lacey said, before immediately going on to be quite cynical about bones: "I think it's something Joycean lovers would appreciate. I don't want to calculate something like this in shillings and pence but I don't think it would do any harm. I think it would do some good."

With 24 hours before the elections, US soldiers are expecting intense combat in Baquba. Yet so far, despite the good weather that the insurgents like to fight in, there have been no notable attacks. I spent most of yesterday on Forward Operating Base Gabe in Baquba, resting, repairing and preparing my gear for the big Sunday. Throughout Friday, I heard explosions and gunfire, sometimes tracers arced into the sky, but no serious attacks emerged.
As evening approached, while I was on base, one American platoon that I run with frequently was hit with an IED. The men were in up-armored Humvees and sustained only ringing ears and some Humvee damage. One of the young soldiers, Specialist Sandoval of the Renegade platoon—a platoon which has seen much combat—reenlisted literally 45 minutes after being attacked with the roadside bomb. In fact, of the 16 members of this platoon who are eligible to reenlist, 14 already have or will soon. Only two are leaving the Army. Morale among these men is staggeringly high despite the carnage they so frequently witness.
At midnight last evening, I accompanied the Ghost platoon on two patrols to restock and check security of several polling stations in Baquba. There were calls on the radio that some units were in slight contact with the enemy, yet we saw nothing but deserted streets and, tellingly, there were practically no cars parked on the lanes. Normally cars are parked up and down the roads. The local population clearly is preparing for trouble, and several local Iraqis have told me that goods have become scarce before the elections as people have hoarded essentials from the shops.
We encountered no enemy opposition last night, though one polling station was attacked briefly shortly after we departed.
I will spend tonight in downtown Baquba at the local police station. This police station is easily the most dangerous place in Baquba and, by extension, one of the most dangerous places in Iraq. There is no doubt that Iraqis and Americans will be attacked in Baquba over the next 24 hours, and the insurgents have long seen this police station as a sore spot plopped down in the middle of their neighborhood. The insurgents attack the station almost daily, but if they attack it tonight, they should expect a vigorous and enthusiastic defense.
US commanders have helped the Iraqis set up election headquarters at the Baquba police station. What tonight will bring on the roof of that station, I do not know.

WYMAN SAYS RISE IN UNCLAIMED PROPERTY REFUNDS CREATING $18 MILLION DEFICIT
Contact: Steve Jensen
Steven.Jensen@po.state.ct.us
State Comptroller Nancy Wyman today said a sharp increase in the amount of unclaimed-property refunds paid by the state has created an estimated $18 million deficit in the state budget.
The payments are made through the Treasurer's unclaimed-property program, called "The Big List." The program, which features an Internet-based database of unclaimed property that allows people to search by name, has become increasingly popular.
"The number of people filing for unclaimed-property refunds has exploded and the payouts are far exceeding projections," Wyman said.
In recent years, the state has typically paid out $25 million to $30 million a year in such refunds, which commonly involve unclaimed investments that are escheated to the state after a designated waiting period. But in just the first five months of the current fiscal year that ends June 30, 2011, more than $25 million has already been refunded.
Those refunds are offsetting relatively healthy growth of the income and sales taxes, which is being driven by the addition of 8,300 jobs since the start of the calendar year, Wyman said.
The increase in tax revenues also is being offset by projected state agency deficiencies totaling $233.4 million. The largest single deficiency – $172.5 million – is within the Department of Social Services.
The $18 million deficit is based on an annual budget of $19.2 billion.
The State Comptroller appreciates input on this and other issues from residents of the state. Please feel free to contact her office by phone – (860) 702-3300; mail – OSC, 55 Elm Street, Hartford, CT 06106; or, via E-mail – osc.opinions@po.state.ct.us

2018 will certainly be an interesting and challenging year
by Grey Hare Editor | Mar 27, 2018 | Articles
This is an abridged version of my full article which can be accessed HERE
So what are the Security trends for this year? 2018, the centenary year of the end of the War to end all Wars, World War One. How curious that 100 years on we are seeing renewed European turmoil with BREXIT and an increased nationalist fervour in many regions across the globe. Is this a major security concern for 2018 or what is?
Having been involved in the wider security business for many years, primarily as an intelligence officer before turning to writing, I am used to looking at trends and teasing out subtleties. The impact of subtle changes to the threats we have been experiencing over recent years will become evident. These subtle changes are probably the most dangerous, as they can catch us unawares, believing our current processes, procedures, policies and kit are good enough.
A continuing threat that will remain the scourge of 2018 in the press, public opinion and government focus, will be the threat of terrorism.
Low tech, cyber inspired 'lone wolf' attacks are likely to continue, interspersed with the odd sophisticated high-tech attack such as we saw in Manchester. However, in the UK we must put this into context, the biggest threat region in the UK remains Northern Ireland, 2016/17 saw 8 murders, 55 bombs, 113 shootings, 80 guns recovered, 53kg of explosives recovered and 244 terror-related arrests.
The next area of concern and one that will touch everyone, remains the issue of the Cyber Threat. Setting the cyber terror or cyber-enabled terror threat to one side the criminal and state use of the cyber environment is becoming very interesting and will likely be the dominant threat through 2018. Cyber attacks as a Service, GDPR as a weapon and bot bitcoin mining are all cries we will hear more of.
I will group my final predictions into one band that I will call novel threats. The first of these is what Donald Trump refers to as Fake News. It's nothing new, propaganda, information operations, deception operations are all phrases to describe the same thing. Influencing decision making by the manipulation of people's perceptions and thinking. In the commercial world, this is marketing except customers vote with their money not via a ballot box.
The final threat and one which is most likely to kill and injure the most people through 2018 is that which comes from man-made and natural disasters. The man-made disasters are frequently war causing mass population movement as we have seen from Syria and Iraq. The Natural disasters are caused by weather, volcanos, earthquakes, tsunamis and in particular, a disease will trump (no pun intended) the damage from any other threat. Dr Tedros Adhanom is the director general of the World Health Organization warned in a summit in Dubai this month that, "Humanity is 'vulnerable' to a pandemic that could kill millions." Security, including humanitarian support to people affected by disasters, should be the biggest effort through 2018.
2018 will certainly be an interesting and challenging year for all of us involved in the security industry.

Video >> Mahabharata - The Epic War
Mahabharata - The Epic War
saketgadkari0
Mahabharat is a 1965 Hindi film based on the Indian epic Mahābhārata, starring Abhi Bhattacharya as Krishna, Pradeep Kumar as Arjuna, Dara Singh as Bhima, Padmini as Draupadi, Bhushan Tiwari as Duryodhan and Jeevan as Shakuni, and directed by Babubhai Mistri. The music for the film was composed by Chitragupta and the title song was sung by Mohammed Rafi in this classic movie.
Summary of the Mahabharata:-
The Mahabharata (Sanskrit Mahābhārata महाभारत, IPA: [məɦaːˈbʱaːrət̪ə]) is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. The epic is part of itihasa (history).
Besides its epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kauravas and the Pandavas who were cousins, the Mahabharata contains much philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals of life" or purusharthas (12.161). The latter are enumerated as dharma (right action), artha (purpose), kama (pleasure), and moksha (liberation). Among the principal works and stories that are a part of the Mahabharata are the Bhagavad Gita, the story of Damayanti, an abbreviated version of the Ramayana, and the Rishyasringa, often considered as works in their own right.
Traditionally, the authorship of the Mahabharata is attributed to Vyasa. There have been many attempts to unravel its historical growth and compositional layers. The oldest preserved parts of the text are not thought to be appreciably older than around 400 BCE, though the origins of the story probably fall between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE.[2] The text probably reached its final form by the early Gupta period (ca. fourth century CE).[3] The title may be translated as "the great tale of the Bhārata dynasty". According to the Mahabharata itself, the tale is extended from a shorter version of 24,000 verses called simply Bhārata.[4]
The Mahabharata is the longest Sanskrit epic.[5] Its longest version consists of over 100,000 shloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. About 1.8 million words in total, the Mahabharata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Ramayana.[6][7] W. J. Johnson has compared the importance of the Mahabharata to world civilization to that of the Bible, the works of Shakespeare, the works of Homer, Greek drama, or the Qur'an religious books .[

The World's Most Haunted House


The recent 'Pulmonary Hypertension Symposium for Patients and their Families' event' in Dublin ahead of World Pulmonary Hypertension (HP) Day saw experts in their fields address a packed meeting on how patient groups can use their collective voice to inform health policies and improve the lot of the PH patient overall.
Pictured above are Mr. Iain Armstrong, PHA UK and Dr. Noel McCaffrey, DCU who both spoke at the event.
In the article below you can read a description of the day's proceedings or alternately you can download a version here (PDF – portable document format).
The Seminar, held in the Grand Hotel, Malahide, heard from Prof Seán Gaine, Consultant Respiratory Physician at the Mater Hospital, on 'What is Pulmonary Hypertension and How do we Treat It?'. Prof Gaine was followed by Mr Iain Armstrong, Chairman of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association UK. Mr Armstrong delivered two distinct presentations: 'The Patient in the Middle of the Riddle of PH'; and 'The Journey for the PH Patient and the Role of the Support Group'. Dr Noel McCaffrey, Sports Medicine Physician and Medical Director of BreatheSmart at Dublin City University, delivered a talk on 'The Importance of Exercise in Chronic Illness Rehabilitation' and the symposium was addressed finally by Ms Karen Redmond, Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon with the Mater Hospital, who spoke on 'Lung Transplantation for PH'.
He also offered his thanks to event organiser Regina Prenderville, explaining that she had recently retired from a previous role, allowing him to opportunistically secure her services. "It really is great to have her as someone who can focus on the work of raising awareness," said Prof Gaine. He also thanked the speakers for attending and provided a brief profile of their respective positions and particularly mentioned Mr Armstrong, a founder of the UK group, as "very supportive and encouraging of what patients, their families and doctors can achieve when they get organised and get together". Dr McCaffrey, he observed runs vital exercise programmes and such therapy is emerging as a new treatment for PH. Ms Redmond, he told the attendees, would provide an important clinical viewpoint as a transplant surgeon with a particular interest in PH.
"PH is different in everyone," observed Prof Gaine in opening his presentation. "Sometimes it can be the only disorder a person is suffering with, while in other cases, there may be other comorbidities involved." Prof Gaine provided a clinical overview of the nature of PH: "It involves a narrowing of the blood vessels, which are so small as to make them impossible to stent. It is clinically important to note that with Group 1 PH patients, there is narrowing of the vessels in the lung," he continued. "With Group 2 patients, the left side of the heart is affected, slowing down the blood flow through the lungs and this is the most common form of PH seen in Ireland. Group 3 patients have lung disease, while Group 4 patients commonly experience a clot in the leg, which when it ends up in the lung can block and increase the pressure." He explained that for this latter cohort of patients, they are most often sent to the UK (Papworth) for treatment because of their experience and outcomes.
"The symptoms of PH can be very vague, which can lead to a delay in diagnosis," Prof Gaine explained. "The delay to diagnosis can typically be two years, so this is one reason why it is so important to organise events like this to help raise awareness." He also revealed that for the first time, a database on PH is being established in conjunction with UK (NHS) in order to benchmark the quality of service currently being offered to Irish PH patients with their UK counterparts. "Although generally, Ireland fares as well as other EU countries in terms of outcomes," said Prof Gaine, who sees between 200 and 300 people at his clinic every year.
Prof Gaine then shared with the attendees an example of an echocardiogram image, pointing out what a clinician sees in a case where the right-heart is enlarged, explaining his system of examination and diagnosis. "The type of treatment then depends on the type of PH the patient is suffering with," he explained. "Sometimes inhalers are appropriate, whereas other times, drugs to open up the thickened blood vessels are required." These drugs might include agents to block the production of endothelin, which constricts blood vessels, while other drugs can increase nitric oxide activity. Other agents might reduce prostacyclin production. "Sometimes all three are used in combination, depending what we discover in the range of tests," said Prof Gaine. In terms of prostacyclin, he observed that nurses "are excellent" at managing any pain that might be associated with this drug, which might possibly be administered via a chronic indwelling cather.
The challenge, said Mr Armstrong, was for medical professionals to recognise the symptoms early, as he noted that 50 per cent of PH patients had to see four or more doctors before a diagnosis was made, a situation he described as "unforgiveable".
His presentation was followed by a lively and informative Q&A session. One attendee — who's diagnosis took two years — asked the panel why the post of 'Consultant General Physician' had disappeared in recent decades. Prof Gaine suggested that there may be a move back in this direction in coming years with the post of acute medicine physician. Another patient enquired as to the use of oxygen in symptom control. Prof Gaine replied that for some people, oxygen was crucial while for others, it provided a certain sense of comfort, but the question was hard to answer because of the various different types of PH. Mr Armstrong added that according to a survey in the UK, oxygen could sometimes make people feel isolated and they may not "be bothered with the hassle" when they were going on holiday, for example.
Dr McCaffrey's presentation was preceded by Prof Gaine revealing that in approximately six months, guidelines will be published that indicate exercise as a form of therapy in PH.
Exercise can also greatly improve quality of life, said Dr McCaffrey, "If you have reduced strength, you will have trouble doing certain tasks, such as getting up, using the toilet and so on. If you have reduced flexibility, you may have trouble reaching things and bending over." Dr McCaffrey presented slides showing that no matter what age, rate of physical and cognitive decline can be slowed by 1,000 per cent in a structured exercise programme.
It has also been shown that even doing strength exercises alone can improve aerobic capacity, said Dr McCaffrey, because the harder muscles work, the greater the increase in lactate capacity. "Using oxygen can also make it easier to exercise," he explained, presenting data (Grunig et al, 2012) showing huge improvements in quality of life across a range of patient groups.
"The most common questions we are asked are, 'What can we do about my sore knee, sore back, sore hand', and so on. Remember that any of these can normally be helped by exercise. If there is an improvement in quality of life, strength and flexibility, then that is a small price to pay for an evening of stiffness," he concluded.
A second Q&A session followed, with one attendee asking why all treatment pathways were not used all together in PH. Prof Gaine replied that there were three specific, high-tech drugs but using all of these together could produce too many side-effects and make the patient's quality of life worse. Therefore, they were introduced sequentially and a determination made about the need for a second agent if the progress wasn't satisfactory. The next five years should shed more light on this, he replied.
Another PH patient asked whether personalised medicine could play a role in PH treatment. Prof Gaine responded that this was a "new frontier" because different people respond to different drugs. Another attendee asked whether there was any financial help available for patients who need to use oxygen 24/7, in light of the impact this has on electricity costs. The answer was that unfortunately, no aid was available to Irish PH sufferers but in the UK, patients could receive a 10 per cent discount on their electricity bills.
Ethics and procedures were also important, she stressed. "The National Ethics Committee outlines different donor circumstances and guidelines on non-brain-stem death. Some people who are in an Intensive Care Unit will never realistically make it out of there, for example. We also need to have some quality control so that we can benchmark ourselves against other countries," said Ms Redmond.
On treatment options, Ms Redmond said that some patients are given a small hole in the right-heart to relieve pressure and this is not routinely closed during the operation because this can increase surgical stress.
"Transplant offers a better quality of life and people can live longer but we can run into problem with rejection or infection," said Ms Redmond.
To conclude, Ms Redmond then presented a case study of a 19-year-old cystic fibrosis patient, including x-rays and a video of the perfusion, and outlined the peri-operative supports in place, which involved a "very cautious and safe approach".
In the final Q&A session, one patient expressed frustration that she could not find an exercise programme that would take her on. Prof Gaine revealed that work will be done on preparing a prescription that would allow people to access these programmes, and that this would hopefully happen within the next year.
Another attendee asked about the possibility of a sponsorship programme, or mentor scheme, for PH patients who were misdiagnosed. Prof Gaine responded that it may be difficult to "link people up" because of confidentiality issues, and this was another strong reason for the existence of the support group.
A number of the attendees expressed their gratitude to the speakers and organisers and stressed how useful the Symposium had been for them and their families, with the exercise programme generating a lot of interest.
Poignantly, one interesting aspect of the Symposium involved four empty chairs; rather than taking their seats on the stage behind a table, all the speakers rather opted to sit with the PH patients and their families as they listened to each other's presentations and fielded questions.
This epitomised the spirit of the event — patients, their families and medical professionals together in the drive to improve the lives of those with PH.

II. Frigyes porosz király egy Winkellmann nevű egykori kapitányt korábbi szolgálataiért azzal jutalmazta, hogy választhat magának egy földterületet Fürstenwalde vidékén. Ő sokáig nem tudott választani, majd hosszas habozás után végül a mai település helyét szemelte ki magának, és felépítette az első házat. Hamarosan 22 további telepescsalád érkezett ide, akik, visszaemlékezve a "hosszú választás" történetére, 1753-ban Langewahlnak nevezték el az új falut.

Q: Manage JFrame Instances In my project I've one instance of jframe1 and two instance of jframe2. Then I want to update from jframe1 txt2 component of first instance of jframe2. But when I invoke perfomaction() method it was to update the second instance of jframe2.
public class Jframe1 extends Jframe {
    public jframe1() {
    Performedaction() {
       jframe2.txt2.setText("do it");
    }
}

public class jframe2 extends Jframe {
    public static JtextFiedl txt2;
    public jframe2() {
}

A: Here is an example.. The example uses two JFrame window's and on clicking a button in one jframe, the second one's JLabel is updated. The example uses a JLabel instead of JTextField.
The mechanism uses java.util.Observer interface and Observable class to update from one window to the other one.
The example's code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;

public class TwoFramesExample {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                new TwoFramesExample().start();
            }
        });
    }
    private void start() {
        Frame1 f1 = new Frame1();
        new Frame2(f1);
    }
}

class Frame1 implements Observer {
    private JLabel label;
    @Override // Observer interface's implemented method
    public void update(Observable o, Object data) {
        label.setText((String) data); // displays new text in JLabel
    }
    Frame1() {
        JFrame f1 = new JFrame("Frame-1");
        f1.getRootPane().setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(20, 20, 20, 20));
        label = new JLabel("Click button in frame-2...");
        label.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 20));
        f1.add(label);
        f1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f1.setSize(350, 150);
        f1.setLocation(200, 200);
        f1.setVisible(true);
    }
}

class Frame2 {
    private int clicks;
    Frame2(Frame1 f1) {
        // Create Observable and add Observer
        final MessageObservable observable = new MessageObservable();
        observable.addObserver(f1);
        // Display frame
        JFrame f2 = new JFrame("Frame-2");
        JButton button = new JButton("Press me");
        button.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 20));
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                String data = "button clicks in frame-2: [" + ++clicks + "]";
                observable.changeData(data);
            }
        });
        f2.add(button);
        f2.setSize(250, 150);
        f2.setLocation(600, 200);
        f2.setVisible(true);
    }
}

class MessageObservable extends Observable {
    MessageObservable() {
        super();
    }
    void changeData(Object data) {
        // the two methods of Observable class
        setChanged();
        notifyObservers(data);
    }

LPD Policy Manual
Carotid Control Hold and Where We Stand
Marijuana Cultivation Permit
Placer County Crime Stoppers
Social Host Ordinance
City Hall » Departments/Divisions » Police Department » Be Informed » LPD Policy Manual
Following the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minneapolis Officers, we received several inquiries from the community about our policies, practices, and training. Individuals and organizations who are seeking police reform are advocating for police departments to adopt 8 policies that they believe will save lives (www.8cantwait.org).
While our staff is very aware of our policies and expectations on this important topic, we conducted a review to see how closely they align with these 8 pillars. We are pleased to share our findings with you.
It should be noted that many of these issues were addressed with the passage of AB 392 and SB 230 last year. AB 392 set a new legal standard for peace officers' use of deadly force in California and SB 230 established a minimum use of force policy standard for all departments.
Below are the policies that the 8 Can't Wait initiative proposes for all law enforcement agencies and where the Lincoln Police Department stands. Our use of force policy can be viewed here.
1 - Ban chokeholds and strangleholds
These techniques (including the Carotid Control Hold) are not permitted in our use of force policy. (Prior to this week our policy did allow this technique for any officer who had been trained by LPD on its use, however, we don't train that technique so no one could use it. It has now been removed)
2 - Require de-escalation
Several of our policies refer to de-escalation, including our policies for crisis intervention, conducted energy devices (Tasers), mental illness, and civil disputes. Additionally, all of our officers attend an eight-hour Crisis Intervention and de-escalation course and are required to attend a refresher course every two years. This is in addition to the training received in the academy and during their Field Training Program.
3 - Require warning before shooting
Our policy (300.4) and Penal Code section 835(a) state that "where feasible, the officer shall, prior to the use of force, make reasonable efforts to identify themselves as a peace officer and to warn that deadly force may be used, unless the officer has objectively reasonable grounds to believe the person is aware of those facts".
4 - Exhaust all other means before shooting
Our policy (300.4) requires that officers evaluate the use of other reasonably available resources and techniques when determining whether to use deadly force, and deadly force is only to be used when there is an imminent threat of death or serious injury to the officer or another person. As such this section incorporates the "objectively reasonable officer" standard and tacitly acknowledges that an officer is only required to use non-deadly force if it is reasonably safe and feasible for the officer to do so without endangering the officer's life or the lives of others. These standards are also covered in Penal Code section 835(a)(2).
5 - Duty to intervene and stop excessive force by other officers
The Lincoln Police Department requires an officer who views excessive force to intervene when in a position to do so. The policy also requires the officer to report their observations to a supervisor promptly. The requirement is covered in our policy under section 300.2.1.
6 - Ban shooting at moving vehicles
Our policy (300.4.1) only allows this in the following circumstances: An officer should only discharge a firearm at a moving vehicle or its occupants when the officer reasonably believes there are no other reasonable means available to avert the threat of the vehicle, or if deadly force other than the vehicle is directed at the officer or others. Officers should move out of the path of an approaching vehicle instead of discharging their firearm at the vehicle or any of its occupants.
7 - Require use-of-force continuum
The Department recognizes and respects the value of all human life and dignity without prejudice to anyone. Vesting officers with the authority to use reasonable force and to protect the public welfare requires monitoring, evaluation and a careful balancing of all interests.
A use of force continuum does not require officers to start with one level of force before moving to another. Our policies, state law, and case law require officers to use only that amount of force that reasonable appears necessary given the facts and totality of the circumstances.
8 - Require comprehensive reporting
The Lincoln Police Department requires officers to thoroughly document any use of force in a police report and to notify a supervisor as soon as practical. Additionally, uses of force resulting in serious bodily injury are reported to the California Department of Justice annually.
As you can see the differences in their recommendations and our policies are very minor in nature. Because of these solid policies and our very dedicated and professional employees, we enjoy a great relationship with our community. Our commitment to you is that we will continue to look inward to make sure we continue to perform at the highest level. Thank you for your continued support.

No comments on KiwiRail agrees to cooperate with independent review
KiwiRail agrees to cooperate with independent review
KiwiRail have agreed to fully cooperate with an independent review of their decision to mothball the Gisborne to Napier railway line.
Gisborne District Councillor Manu Caddie said he had been assured in person and in writing by CEO Jim Quinn that KiwiRail would provide any information requested to BERL and engineers reviewing the calculations and conclusions announced by KiwiRail last week.
"Rather that using the Official Information Act, Jim has agreed to give us access to their staff reports, briefings, cost assessments and any other information required by the review" said Mr Caddie.
We have agreed to organise a meeting with the relevant KiwiRail staff and the independent review team to discuss the review process and work out what information is likely to be required.
"We are pleased Mr Quinn has offered to be the first point of contact and work constructively with the review team to help them understand how KiwiRail arrived at its decision" said Mr Caddie.
"Mr Quinn and I agree that it is important we all have a common base of assumptions to draw our conclusions from. If there is some error or new information KiwiRail are happy to revisit the decision" said Mr Caddie.
Mr Caddie said BERL start work on the review tomorrow (Thursday) and expect to take about two weeks to complete the study provided they have access to all the information required.

Water! We are always told we should drink 8 glasses a day – so why do we all find it so difficult?
I will confess something to you now – I used to drink 12 cans of Diet Coke a day! Yes, 12!! To break this bad habit, I have been trying my best to stick to water. As well as keeping our bodies hydrated, water also flushes out our systems, regulates our body temperature and helps our brains function.
Water makes up about 60% of our body weight. When we are kept well-hydrated, our quality of sleep is better, we function better in general, our mood is better, there are just so many benefits. I think most people find water a bit bland and boring – I know that was my thoughts before.
The ZeroWater 12 Cup Water Filter.
ZeroWater's 12-cup water filter jug is the first in its class to benefit from a sealed lid and reservoir which allows filtered water to be poured while water, which hasn't yet been filtered, remains in the reservoir. This adds a further 2 cups of capacity to the 10 cups of filtered water in the jug. It also features a one-handed, pull and pour button spout for easy pouring from the fridge or for filling bottles.
The jug benefits from a patented, 5-stage Ion Exchange Filtration system which removes virtually all dissolved solids from your water. Providing great tasting water without the dissolved solids which may include Minerals, Salts, Metals, Chemicals and Runoff. It also removes 99% of all Fluoride from your water.
Ion8 leak-proof BPA-free water bottle.
This 100% leak proof BPA Free water bottle, has a vented, smooth liquid flow for rapid hydration. It is the width of a can, it has a soft touch feel for grip, a tough carry strap and fits any can holder, cup holder or kid's lunch box or backpack. This bottle can be opened with one hand, and locked closed for peace of mind when throwing into a bag. The bottles are made from BPA free, phthalate free, non-toxic TRITAN, they are dishwasher safe and suitable for hot or cold drinks and come in a variety of colours.
So, there you have it. I will soon kick my Diet Coke habit!

A B.C. Supreme Court judge found John Albert Buchanan, accused in the September 2017 murder of Richard Sitar in Nanaimo, not guilty of second-degree murder but guilty of manslaughter. (Nanaimo News Bulletin file)
Man found guilty of manslaughter in bludgeoning death in Nanaimo
Verdict comes down in John Albert Buchanan's trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo
Karl Yu
Jan. 12, 2021 1:45 p.m.
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has found the man arrested in connection with 2017 bludgeoning death in south Nanaimo guilty of manslaughter, but not guilty of second-degree murder.
John Albert Buchanan was charged with second-degree murder after Richard Sitar was found dead in his apartment near Nanaimo's downtown in September 2017, but due to the dynamics between the two men, Judge Robin Baird found Buchanan guilty of the lesser charge.
The trial began Oct. 19 in B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo and evidence was presented depicting Sitar as someone who bullied and abused Buchanan, including an incident in which Sitar pepper sprayed the accused at a McDonald's restaurant on Nicol Street.
Video entered into evidence showed Buchanan entering, then leaving Sitar's apartment the day of the incident. Expert witnesses said it appeared Sitar was beaten to death with a bat-like instrument, though such an object was never found.
The judge revoked Buchanan's bail and he is back in custody.
A pre-sentence report has been ordered by the judge and a date for sentencing is expected to be set on March 1.
Leanne Mascolo and Catherine Hagen, co-Crown counsels, and Michael Munro, defence counsel, did not wish to comment.

ST. JOHN COLLEGE
ST. JOHN COLLEGE began as Sisters' College in 1928 to train teachers to staff the elementary schools of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, and later expanded its mission to preparing nurses for Catholic hospitals. It was one of the few diocesan colleges in the U.S. Within 4 years of its opening in the old Cathedral School Bldg. at 1027 Superior in 1928, it was granted full college status and the power to confer degrees; by 1935 it was accredited by the American Assn. of Teachers Colleges. The first president was Bp. JOHN R. HAGAN. Since the college was set up to accommodate religious teachers who taught with provisional certificates while completing their education, enrollment was particularly heavy in the summer and Saturday sessions. Each of the 28 religious orders who attended the college was represented by a member of that order on the faculty, who handled any problems involving her sisters. Lay students were welcome so long as they were willing to be placed in a diocesan school after graduation. Originally offering a B.S. in education, Sisters' College added a B.S. in nursing (1947) and an M.A. in education (1939).
When the college moved into new quarters in Cathedral Square at E. 9th and Superior in 1947, Sisters' College became St. John College to reflect the broader range of students it now sought. An enrollment boom in the 1960s necessitated a new addition, but enrollment slid as the demand for teachers dropped off by the early 1970s, and the diocese threatened to withhold its subsidies. Ultimately, the nursing program, which accounted for the majority of the school's undergraduates, was moved to URSULINE COLLEGE, and the remainder of school closed in June 1975. The site is now occupied by Eaton Center, a high-rise office tower.

There are no flowers here. There is the dandelion, of course, but no daisy. How does your garden grow, I asked the fox, as she lay on her back with her mouth open pretending to be dead. Just as the Devil lies in wait to trap the unwary, I never run straight ahead, she said, but always follow a tortuous path.
My soul is among lions. I went through fire and through water.
I took the Vespa, because I want to have her arms around me always.
This is Bobbin. She was named for a mechanical part. If you want to stretch a sweater, sleep in it.
She fell asleep at the writing table. I took her in to bed. I returned to her writing and read, where it began in a letter to Cabala Girl, Angel, when I heard the news I made the sign of the cross for you.
She fell asleep at the writing table. I took her in to bed. I returned to her writing and read, where it began in a letter to Timon, Deliver yourself from revenge, that is your bridge to the highest hope. I have met him and the impression is not good.

She fell asleep at the writing table. I took her in to bed. I returned to her writing and read, where it began in a letter to Juliette, There is a night I will never forget, and it is what I will remember you by always. It was not meant to be a sleepover. It was snowing, and it was snowing forever. You walked me to the door and I was about to leave but when I saw the snow I was taken by the most superstitious fear. You did not plan for me to stay over. And in the morning your mother (and her boyfriend—I remember him, he was a student) made waffles.
The next morning I read in Jung that the basket is a symbol for the maternal body (for the womb — a basket of fruit may symbolize fertility). A basket may also hide a secret.
