Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a broad term used for progression of various diseases affecting the lungs such as, chronic bronchitis, some forms of bronchiectasis, emphysema and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. Breathlessness and coughing are few of the early symptoms that induce the hypothesis of having COPD, but some people also consider these symptoms as the signs of aging. In no time, these ailments come under severe progression and reveal the rising of other associated diseases. The primary diagnosis of COPD is spirometry, which is the most common form of pulmonary function test that includes measurement of volume and flow of inhaled and exhaled air in the lungs. Therefore, analyzing the breathing pattern may assess the complications involved with the lungs. COPD is a disease that develops over the years and the associated symptoms are wheezing, tightness in chest, increased breathlessness and frequent coughing.
In COPD, the lungs cells lose their quality of elasticity, most of the air sacs are destroyed, and the walls of the airways become thick and inflamed and in some cases also become clogged by mucus. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are the two-main conditions that progress throughout the period of progression of the disease, due to which air sacs lose their shape and become floppy. The destruction of walls of air sacs leads to the enlargement of these sacs, and they no longer remain in their normal shape, which further leads to reduction in the amount of gas exchange in the lungs. According to the data provided by National Institutes of Health (NIH), nearly 12 million adults in the U.S. are suffering from COPD, of which 120,000 people die every year. Therefore, various combination therapies and advanced technologies are driving the growth of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease pipeline. Also, drug manufacturing companies are using various promising targets for the treatment of the disease. Targeted therapy is more effective in achieving good results. The potential targets will possibly stop or slow the progression of the disease with better efficacy and lesser side effects.
As of May 2017, the COPD therapeutics pipeline comprises approximately 65 drug candidates in different stages of development.
Some of the key players developing drugs for the treatment of COPD include Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., AstraZeneca plc, GlaxoSmithKline plc and others.

KIERON Richardson and husband Carl Hyland are to welcome TWO babies next year.
The Hollyoaks star and his hubby have plenty to look forward to in 2017.
The actor revealed the exciting news on Instagram that he and Carl will welcome twins in a matter of months.
With their dog on Keiron's lap as they unwrapped the sign, the pair couldn't stop grinning as they unveiled their exciting news.
And the pair were flooded with congratulations from fans.
"Congratulations on your amazing news, you'll be fantastic daddies x," added one follower.
2016: Which celebrity women are pregnant?
"Beautiful video for you beautiful pair, congratulations," wrote another, alongside kiss emojis.
The happy news for Kieron and Carl comes after they tied the knot a year and a half ago in front of most of Keiron's co-stars.
Earlier this year, Kieron opened up about his bad luck with IVF after four failed attempts to become a father.
After trying for a family for 14 months, the soap star told The Mirror: "We were hoping for a baby this year.
"Unfortunately, like anyone who is trying for a baby through IVF – whether they are gay couples or not – it is a lottery.
"The statistics when we first started it were a 70% success rate.
"We have tried it four times, with the same surrogate mum, and we have fallen into that 30% bracket of it not working.

← The boys do Ipanema before it's Belo, goodbye to Brazil
Luis Suarez: The Rob Ford of Football →
by At The Rails | June 27, 2014 · 9:13 pm
Europe's Poor Performance… and Other Useless Stats
The major story lines leading up to this World Cup were all about things that had little or nothing to do with football. Faulty or incomplete stadiums, paltry labour conditions, a populace acting as unhappy hosts, the ever-present whispers of bribes and corruption… this is how we talked about Brazil.
Two weeks into the tournament, however, and the story is very much about the game itself. Wide-open play has meant a treasure chest of goals, the most ever for the group stage. Out of the 48 matches so far, only eight of them have been draws, and only five of those have been nil-nil. Meanwhile, there have been a lot of shutouts (almost half of the matches) but only 13 games have been either 0-0 or 1-0 finals. For this writer anyway, this has been the best World Cup since France '98.
However, several European nations might disagree with me. Out of the 13 UEFA teams in the tournament, only the Netherlands, Greece (a first for Ethniki), Belgium, Germany, France and Switzerland are going to the Group of 16. For the second World Cup in a row, less than half of the European teams are progressing. Is this because the former colonial powers can't play away from their home continent? Maybe… but the European influence has been declining for some time.
If you take the percentage of total participants in each tournament* allocated to UEFA (in 2010, that was 13/32 or 40.625%) and multiply it by the percentage of European teams that make the knockout round (again in 2010, it was 6/16 or 37.5%), you can — imperfectly — see well how the confederation performs.
There are a couple of trends that emerge. First of all, the number of UEFA spots have pretty much stayed the same, with one or two additions or subtractions. But as the tournament has expanded, this has meant the Europeans' share of World Cup berths has declined. Nothing shocking here.
A familiar sight for England fans over the last half-century
What is changing is who are winning the knockout berths. At least three CONMEBOL teams have qualified for the next round in three out of the last five tournaments; they only got two spots in 1994 and 2002, and Brazil won both of those anyway (FYI the Brazilians have only missed the knockout round once, in 1966… between World Cup victories in 1962 and 1970). Last tournament, two CONCACAF teams reached the knockout stage; this year, there are three. For the first time ever, two African teams have reached the Group of 16 in 2014.
The reason for the European decline are fuzzy. Some blame the flood of foreign players — particularly South Americans — into the big European leagues, pushing home-grown players aside and making big clubs less likely to develop their own youngsters. Others say European players lack the desire to achieve greatness for country, because they are getting paid so much by their clubs.
However, it could all back to simple maths. The change starts to be noticeable in Mexico's 1986 World Cup. João Havelange had won the FIFA presidency in 1974 on promises to let more developing nations into the tournament. Twelve years later, Morocco was the first African Nation to qualify for the knockout round along with hosts, Mexico. It was the first time two teams from one of the "other" confederations made it through with the big boys. Since then, both CAF and CONCACAF have had at least one team in the elimination rounds, and CONMEBOL get at least 50 percent of its teams into the knockouts.
Capello thinks about how to spend his millions
What is more interesting is who is out. The platinum generation of Spanish footballers finally ran out of currency, dropping out at the group stage for the first time since 1998. Their Euro 2012 final opponents, Italy, missed two successive knockout rounds for the first time since the 1960's. The "golden generations" of Portugal and England both finally sputtered out. Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia still have far to go to match the prowess of their Yugoslavian predecessors. Russia may be rethinking Fabio Capello's £6.7M annual salary… although the gaffer claims he did his job by getting the side into the tournament for the first time in 12 years. In fairness to Capello, he didn't have his talisman, Roman Shirokov. Imagine if Óscar Tabárez' Uruguay had to play with Luis Suarez… oh right.
Some caveats:
– like Brazil in '94 and '02, Spain won in 2010 despite a record-low representation by European teams. However, the other three tournaments that had a low knockout representation by Europe went to South American sides: 1950, 1970, and 2002.
– a more likely determinate of World Cup success is tournament location. If it's in Europe, a UEFA team will likely win the whole thing. If not, look to CONMEBOL. The only exceptions are South Africa 2010 for Europe and Sweden 1958 for South America (where UEFA had seven of eight playoff births but Brazil still won).
– the set up of this year's tournament tree means that only one of Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay will advance to the semi-finals, while the Europeans could still end up having six teams in the quarter-finals.

Shared with her permission. My work often flies under the radar. For various reasons, and maybe I am just a very average writer. Comments like these, messages like this, they mean a lot to me. Because that very last line is essentially what I was aiming for. And it got to at least one person.

Q: How to enable an Intel PCI WiFi adapter which is not enabled / access denied? PCI WiFi card provided with mobo with radio socket connection and external antenna. Intel Wireless 3165. Ubuntu Linux Server (Bionic, I believe). Any other details I need to provide?
The commands and output:
lspci -v | less

Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3165 (rev 81)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless AC 3165
Memory at ef000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi

sudo lshw | less

network DISABLED
  description: Wireless interface
  product: Wireless 3165
  vendor: Intel Corporaiton
  physical id: 0
  bus info: pci@0000:08:00.0
  logical name: wlp8s0
  version: 81
[etc.]

ifconfig -a

wlp8s0: flags=[etc.]

ifconfig up wlp8s0

wlp8s0: Host name lookup failure

So I was under the impression this was generally the way to bring a wifi card online, but it doesn't look like it's working. Any help is much appreciated.
Mike

Edit:
Per chili's request, here is the output of cat /etc/netplan/*.yaml:
# This file is generated from information provided by
# the datasource. Changes to it will not persist across an instance.
# To disable cloud-init's network configuration capabilities, write a file
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
# network: {config: disabled}
network:
   ethernets: {}
   version: 2

Okay, so it was working for a while, but I couldn't apt install packages because of package dependencies / version incompatibilities. All of these were resolved (by me, manually (tedious) (see Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) Server Unmet dependencies "are not going to be installed" and Can't apt-get install packages (perl warnings, dpkg warnings, PATH warnings)) and wpa_supplicant is reinstalled (it was uninstalled on its own for some reason?), but now when I go lshw the Wireless 3165 Network Controller doesn't even HAVE a logical name, so I can't even execute any of the commands you guys have suggested anymore! When I go ifconfig -a it shows lo and enp0s31f6 (Ethernet) so I don't know if that is the WiFi device or not. It no longer shows wlp8s0, even though it is in the netstat plan file. I'm thoroughly confused. I'll keep crunching, but also thanks for any further help.
Sorry! It was so promising! How success is fickle. u.u

UPDATE:
This post is relevant but I don't think I can connect via ethernet and reinstalling the OS would be a hassle but I could probably do it eventually: Network unclaimed on Ubuntu

A: The terminal command ifconfig doesn't enable a wireless connection because there is no mechanism to specify the access point name, or SSID, nor the WPA2 password.
The usual way to enable wireless in recent Ubuntu versions, including Bionic or Ubuntu 18.04 is with netplan.
First, find the exact name of your netplan file:
ls /etc/netplan

It may be called 01-netcfg.yaml. Whatever it is called, please amend it as follows:
sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

Change it to:
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  wifis:
    wlp8s0:
      dhcp4: yes
      dhcp6: no
      access-points:
        "network_ssid_name":
          password: "**********"

Of course, substitute your exact details here. Please note that the name of the access point as well as the WPA2 password are enclosed in quotation marks ". Netplan is very strict about indentation, spacing, etc. Please proofread carefully twice. Save (Ctrl+o followed by Enter) and exit (Ctrl+x).
Follow with:
sudo netplan generate
sudo netplan apply

Did you get an IP address?
ip addr show

Can you reach the internet?
ping -c3 www.ubuntu.com

A: In one command line
sudo ip link set wlp8s0 up

And to get wifi interface names I recommend to use iw  which is here for that...
iw dev

Attorney Fred Levin, who fought tobacco industry, dies at 83
PENSACOLA, Fla. - Florida attorney Fred Levin, who won a major legal battle against the tobacco industry in the 1990s, died Tuesday, several days after contracting the coronavirus. He was 83.
Levin's death from complications of COVID-19 was confirmed by Levin Papantonio Rafferty attorney Mark Proctor.
In the 1990s, Levin was able to get the Florida Legislature to change Florida's Medicaid law, allowing it to recoup money for the cost of treating lung cancer. That change helped Levin lead an effort to reach a $13 billion settlement with the tobacco industry.
Levin also became boxing manager to fellow Pensacola native Roy Jones Jr. in 1989, leading up to the prizefighter's heavyweight championship in 2003.
Levin's career began in 1961 when he joined the Levin and Askew law firm founded by his brother David and Reubin Askew, the Pensacola News Journal reported.
Levin used his success in his law career to pursue philanthropy work, donating more than $35 million. The University of Florida named its law school after Levin in 1999 after he gave $10 million to the school where he earned his undergraduate degree in 1958 and his law degree in 1961.
Levin was investigated by the Florida Bar on four separate occasions for making controversial remarks in public. One investigation in 1990 led to a public reprimand from the bar over his criticism of law enforcement prosecuting gambling crimes.

Howard Lederer is the poker circuit's true gentleman. Nicknamed "The Professor" for his intellectual style of play, he has calmly played his way to numerous final tables. His Zen-like approach coupled with his powerful observation and deduction skills make him a player that is both well respected and feared at the poker table. He favors high stakes cash games and large tournaments.
Annie Duke, who just so happens to be the sister of Howard Lederer, is one of poker's top female players. This busy mother of four has still found time to earn millions in poker winnings. Her earnings are greater than that of any professional female player. Her competitive background and her "controlled aggression" approach to the game have brought a great deal of success.
Annie Duke and Howard Lederer (or "Bub" as his friends call him) grew up in a fiercely competitive household in Concord, New Hampshire. Their family regularly engaged in a number of different games. Naturally, this included card games. Howard believes that his father, an English professor, never purposefully lost a game to his children. Annie describes her father as a man who would rather pass out and faint than give up in any competition. His level of competitiveness greatly influenced his children and helped propel them to poker success.
By engaging in constant competition, Howard Lederer and Annie Duke learned how to win effectively. This skill would ultimately guide them to a life of professional poker. Both children started college, but Howard dropped out with hopes of becoming a professional chess player. It wouldn't be long before his interest turned to professional poker. He made his way through card rooms in New York and later moved to Las Vegas, where the stakes were more to his liking. Throughout his career he has won countless tournaments, millions of dollars and has become a living poker legend.
Duke, on the other hand completed college and received a bachelors degree in both English and Psychology. She was a few months away from receiving her Doctorate degree when the poker bug attacked her. Brother Howard Lederer invited her to a World Series of Poker event and taught her the ins and outs of No-Limit Texas Hold'em. During their visit, she realized that she had a real knack for the game. She immediately quit school to pursue her interest in becoming a professional player and follow in her brother's footsteps.
In 1994, she played in the World Series of Poker, where she placed thirteenth in her first tournament and third in her second. This WSOP is where Howard and Annie made history. They became the first brother and sister duo ever to make it to the same final table of the World Series of Poker. Not only that, Annie had the pleasure of knocking the legendary Howard Lederer out of the tournament, thus finishing ahead of him.
So far in 2004 Howard Lederer has placed first in two tournaments and made seven final tables. His year-to-date winnings total $768,761. Annie has made two final tables and earned $295,000 in winnings. Both players are icons of poker and both have obtained celebrity status.
According to Cardplayer.com, when asked about her fame, Annie explained: "Being a female in a male-dominated profession, a single mom of four small children, and having won millions playing poker, I am fortunate to be a story America wants to hear. Although publicity has fallen in my lap, I cultivate what comes my way."
It is clear that both siblings are wildly successful poker players. And it's also clear that the two have worked hard and taken risks to get where they are. They have truly cultivated the success they've achieved. Ask any poker enthusiast for the names of some top players, and these two names often come up: Annie Duke and Howard Lederer.


Oliver always has many tales to tell.
You may have heard that sweet Abby from Manx Mnews has recently gone to the Bridge.
each other with boundless love over the fourteen years.
Oh that is so sad but sweet. As my Charlie approaches his 15th year I am trying to enjoy each and every moment with him. I hope he is one of those cats that lives into his 20's!!
Yes this was a sad day. They had a deep love which will last.
We are sad beyond words. Run free sweet Abby, we will love you forever.
Thank you so much for remembering my special little sassy tuxie girl. Oh just to see her like this makes my heart sing with joy while the other side aches with the knowledge that I can never again hold her in my arms. You've shown me much kindness in my deep time of suffering and my gratitude is eternal.
We didn't know Abby but we stopped by her blog to tell her Mom how sorry we were about her loss...I'm sure Abby is keeping a close eye on her Mom and giving her soft paw pats in her dreams.....we NEVER leave our humans - we just love them from a different place.


Amidst the protests by some people agitating for an independent state of Biafra, President Muhammadu Buhari and Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha have at different fora called for unity and national cohesion.
Speaking during the launch of the 2016 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem and celebration yesterday, Buhari explained that Nigerians have resolved to live as one and a united people. The president at the ceremony, which held inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, announced a donation of N10 million to the Nigerian Legion.
He called on all Nigerians to appreciate the noble contributions of the nation's fallen heroes whom he said paid the supreme sacrifice to maintain national and international peace and security.
Buhari said that the nation had recently celebrated 55 years of political independence and continued to remain as one indivisible entity despite several challenges. He said: "Since independence, Nigeria has witnessed a lot of internal strife, survived a civil war and has remained united. This feat achieved by the country is an eloquent testimony to the determination of our citizens to remain as one people.
"The sacrifices of our fallen heroes, heroines, and veterans who rose up to the security challenges cannot go un-noticed." While noting that the theme of this year's celebration: "Motivating the Nigerian Armed Forces for Effective Service Delivery" was very apt, he saluted the courage and sacrifices of men and women of the Armed Forces in grappling with the wave of terrorism, oil theft and piracy in some parts of our country.
According to him, "They have displayed unalloyed loyalty and commitment to Nigeria. In their arduous task to keep Nigeria safe and united, some of these gallant officers and men lost their lives. To them, we pay special tribute and pray for the repose of their souls.
"Fellow countrymen and women, consider the situation and conditions under which they died or suffered physical incapacitation. " It behoves on us who are living beneficiaries of their sacrifice to contribute towards the welfare and sustenance of their dependants.
Our modest effort will go a long way to demonstrate our depth of gratitude and ameliorate their present condition." He said that the Nigerian Legion, which is the umbrella body of the veterans, has continued to contribute to the growth and development of the country.
Buhari commended the Legionnaires for their steadfastness, perseverance and exemplary conduct. He added that the members of the body have continued even in retirement to provide excellent services in all spheres of our national life. He called on well-meaning Nigerians and corporate organisations to lend their support to the worthy initiative.
The president said the emblem launch was meant to appeal to all Nigerians to generously support the Nigerian Legion. While encouraging Nigerians to buy the emblem, Buhari announced that it would soon become a requirement for access into government establishments for staff and visitors.
He gave an assurance that the Federal Government would continue to show commitment in addressing the challenges facing veterans. Minister of Defence, Brig.-Gen. Muhammad Dan-Ali, described the event as a unique one coming at a time when the nation was committing much to the anti-terrorism war.
He said terrorism had tasked the resourcefulness of men of the nation's armed forces with many lives lost and many others injured. Chairman, Nigerian Legion, Colonel Micah Gayya (rtd.), decorated Buhari; Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo; former Head of the Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara; and Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, with the redesigned emblems.
The event was attended by all the newly inaugurated ministers and the National Security Adviser (NSA).
Meanwhile at a lecture organised by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Governor Rochas Okorocha urged Nigerians to shun discord. Speaking on the theme, Managing Change in a democracy, Governor Okorocha harped on how the various ethnic groups do not value one another, adding that this attitude has stunted our national development.
"Our stanza of our old national anthem reads "though tribe and tongues, may differ, in brotherhood we stand" The writer of that anthem appreciated our diversity, and knew we would have this problem that is affecting us today, The ethnic coloration of our politics atcually began with our founding fathers. Remember the parties founded then were by leades from the three major groups-NCNC by Zik, NPC by Tafawa Balewa and AG by Awolowo, and people voted based on their ethnicity. That was the genesis of what we are facing today.
