2021 Winter Exhibitions Opening Night
Thursday 29 July
Join us as we both welcome and celebrate the opening of PICA's winter exhibitions Love in Bright Landscapes, curated by Annika Kristensen; I don't see colour by Australian-Fijian artist Salote Tawale; and Leitī by Sione Monū.
Love in Bright Landscapes, curated by Annika Kristensen, considers Perth and Los Angeles as comparative case studies, bringing together a selection of artworks made in reference to the characters, qualities and topographies of the two west coast cities. Through the work of artists living, working, hailing from, or passing through both cities, Love in Bright Landscapes explores the possibilities of contemporary art in contributing to ongoing stories of identity, purpose, presence and place in the cities of Perth and Los Angeles.
I don't see colour presents a new body of work by Australian-Fijian artist Salote Tawale, the starting point for which is a conversation that took place between the artist and a philosophy student at a party in the UK. Presenting painting, installation and video, "I don't see colour" is a response to this exchange and an attempt to process the implications of this statement in the face of the unevenly felt impacts of climate change brought on by colonial and capitalist structures. The artist imagines climate change as an indiscriminate force that doesn't see colour either.
Leitī is a new moving image work by Sione Tuívailala Monū. Produced in 2021 which centres on Sione and his friend and collaborator Manuha'apai Vaeatangitau. The film acts as a visual diary, constructed from footage mostly collected over the past year by Sione on his iPhone. Friends, conversation, cooking, dress up, tarot reading, voguing and Manu's own performances all feature. Inspired by Sione and Manu's friendship and their shared experiences as fakaleiti or leitīs, a Tongan word to describe the third gender, Leitī explores the importance and power of community, sisterhood and survival.
The opening celebrations will feature a Welcome to Country by Noongar elder Vaughn McGuire, and a special cultural exchange ceremony between Noongar and Fijian Elders.
Love in Bright Landscapes, I don't see colour and Leitī are open to the public from 30 July – 10 October 2021.

Every year we plan to enjoy the holidays with less frantic shopping, more memorable time spent with family and friends, and staying on budget. Once we hit the day after Thanksgiving, all plans are off. How can this year be different?
Write out a budget of what you plan to spend, including decorations (avg $40) and food (avg $85).
If the money isn't already set aside, there's still time. The average planned holiday amount is $689. O.K., so you started a bit late this year. Set aside $75 a week for the next 6 weeks, you'll have $450 by Black Friday.
Use cash (not debit cards). You'll spend an average of $180 more if you use plastic. Hide credit cards until 2013.
Don't fall for the impulse purchases – keep a printed list or put a list on your smart phone and stick with it.
Stores offer credit cards with discounts because they sell more to you – don't do it!
Focus on happiness – discuss your plans with friends and family. Have a potluck or cookie party and recipe exchange. Encourage smaller exchanges for our kids who already have too many toys.
Be creative – yeah crafts, cooking, baking are always appreciated. Creativity extends to funding gifts, too. Use reward points, re-gift unused gift cards, or use them to shop for gifts.
After-holiday sales are great if you need it and include it in your spending plan. Return gifts promptly for refunds, use money and gift cards to make purchases. Still keep those credit cards out of reach.
Remember, right down your spending plan right now. Keep it handy and get through the season smoothly and with happy recollections of 2016.

Deepest sympathy for the Lumer family
November 25, 2019 January 3, 2011 by LMU Library
Joe Lumer, a successful Los Angeles businessman whose philanthropic generosity touched many of us at LMU, died this week at the age of 62 while on vacation in Argentina. Mr. Lumer had the distinction of being our first special guest author at the library's Sunday Jewish Book Group, where he shared his work Noah the Water Carrier and Other Stories with our community. He was also instrumental in bringing the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum traveling exhibit Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race to LMU in Fall 2010.
The William H. Hannon Library and its staff extend its most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Joe Lumer.

The marriage of heaven (common elements) and hell (code writing code).
$tab WHERE symbol_B = "$el"
$tab     AND symbol_B != ""
symbol_A and symbol_B are position oriented wrt the written formula, meaning that for an AxBy binary, you have A for symbol_A and B for symbol_B whereas if it is BxAy, then they are reversed.
We will be looking for elements that form binaries with the aforementioned 4 elements, namely: Yttrium, Gadolinium, Iron and Gallium.
a total of 42 all in all. The "val" columns are there for verificational purposes only – since after applying the GROUP BY function, they all lose their meanings.
Lately, I've been studying on the nice and efficient algorithm of Dominik Endres and he's been very helpful in replying to my relentless mails about the algorithm and the software. Now, if you have checked the algorithm, there is a part where iteration is needed to be done over the possible bin boundary distributions. Via a smart workaround he avoids this and uses a recursive equation.
* There is always at least one classification per bin.
* Bins are adjascent to each other.
* Bins can not overlap.
0 3 : Meaning, the first bin only covers the 0 class while the second bin covers 1, 2, 3.
1 3 : Meaning, the first bin covers 0, 1 while the second bin covers 2, 3.
2 3 : Meaning, the first bin covers 0, 1, 2 while the second bin covers 3.
easier said than done because the number of the k_ variables and the for loops are changing with M.
via the f_perm flag, we can check the type of the operation anywhere within the code. K is incremented because, previously, we were setting the end point fixed so that the last bin would always include the last point for the bins to cover all the space. But for permutationing we are not bounded by this fixication so, we have an additional freedom.
The reason for instead of now writing directly to the file in the iteration we just store it in a variable (str) is to deal with the trailing comma if we are permuting, as simple as that!
When you have some nice discrete random variables, or more correctly, some sets of nice discrete random variables and given that they behave well (like the ones you encounter all the time in the textbook examples), calculating the entropies and then moving on to the deducing of mutual information between these sets is never difficult. But things don't happen that well in real situations: they tend to get nastier. The methods you employ for binary-valued sets are useless when you have 17000 different type of data among 25000 data points.
and the answer is obvious. This is really assuring – except the fact that it doesn't have to be this obvious and furthermore, you don't usually get only 6 membered sets to try out variations.
For this problem of mine, I have been devising a method and I think it's working well. It's really simple, you just bin (down) your data according some criteria and if it goes well, at the end you have classified your data points in much more smaller number of bins.

The Walk of Hearts
by Urban Views Weekly August 2, 2016
A Brother's journey, Inspired by his Sister
On Saturday, June 18, 2016, Dahrnaz Tigner set out on a 1300-mile journey to the nation's capital to bring awareness to childhood obesity. Inspired by his sister Jade, who struggles with obesity and the First Lady of the United States' Let's Move initiative, Dahrnaz made it his personal mission to bring awareness and support to one of the leading causes of many illnesses in the country.
His walking journey is a remarkable story – he has met homeless people, walked 15 miles through a barren area of Florida without water, and visited children who are struggling with obesity at Florida Children's Hospital. You can follow him at www.facebook.com/Dahrnaz where he is documenting his journey in pictures and stories.
Dahrnaz and his brother, Minnesota Vikings Defensive Back, Jabari Price started the walk with family and friends, but shortly after reaching Martin County in Florida, Jabari had to turn back due to a family emergency, and Dahrnaz then walked solo for 700 miles through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and parts of North Carolina before being joined by his younger brother, Aris Knight, a student at Florida Gulf Coast College and a National Guard Reservist, on Wednesday, July 20, in Raleigh/Durham North Carolina, to complete the final 311 miles to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
This has been a journey of discovery and awakening for Dahrnaz, who walks with a 55lb backpack, equipped with his tripod for photos, two phones, a mini iPad and clothing for the trip.
Donations are accepted at: www.thewalkofhearts.org where there is a GoFundMe link to make donations to the cause.

Ever since I was introduced to the game of Malifaux I've had a strong interest in painting The Dreamer and his crew. Catching word of this my gaming buddies gave me the box set as a gift (big shout out to Jay, Vin, Ed, Kirk, and Dev). Almost a year later, I finally got to painting the models and I must say I'm very happy with the results. Check them out!
After mulling over the color scheme for this crew for a long time I decided to try something characterful and fun. Here you see the entire crew in all its creepy-Tim Burton-Halloween-Beetlejuice inspired glory. Who isn't a fan of Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas?
The first model I painted was Coppelius, or in this case Coppelijuice (bizarro Doctor Who Ood, anyone?). It wasn't easy to paint the stripes but it was a very nice challenge. The color scheme draws from the Beetlejuice cartoon animated series (which I was completely hooked on as a kid). Just look at this opening sequence to the show and tell me it isn't awesome! I'll wait.
Next out of the box were the Daydreams. These adorable little apparitions were a really nice way for me to experiment with the crews color scheme: green, fuchsia, blue, black & white. I also used a lot of purple for my shading to help create harmony. Some models have a few other pop colors, but I tried to deviate from this foundation as little as possible.
Here we have the Alps. I'm not a very big fan of these models except for the one holding a cigar. Just before painting these I'd watched Box Trolls and was really inspire by the artistry and flesh tones. That animation studio is so badass!
Next up is the big centerpiece of the crew, Lord Chompy Bits! This model was intimidating as hell and I went back and forth on the color scheme several times. Particularly with the hands; first they had a purple glow, then blue, and finally the stripes. He's sort of my homage to the Sandworms. I'll post picks in another post of how I painted the stripes. Hint: lots of patience.
Lastly we have the Dreamer. The original sculpt is a bit underwhelming. I wanted mine to be more unique. That's when I came up with the idea to make him into Lydia (the cartoon version of course). So after much procrastination and analysis paralysis I got to cutting, sculpting and sanding. Lydia came to be and I'm so glad I worked up the nerve to make her. Work in progress pics to come!
And with that I wish you a Happy October! Tis' the season of changing autumn leaves, crisp cool air and of course, Halloween. So go out there and paint, draw or do something creepy.

Waou! Awesome! love the show as well as I was a kid. You did a faboulous job here!
Thank you very much for the kind feedback! My next big project is a fancy display base for this crew. Should be pretty fun to work on.

Home Features Interviews DON'T BE CRUEL: Otis Blackwell's Triumph
DON'T BE CRUEL: Otis Blackwell's Triumph
Written By Brian Gilmore // July 1, 2007
On July 2, 1956, a young Elvis Presley came to New York City's RCA studios to record his next hit single. Presley had his young band in tow and it already had been decided by his handlers that he was going to record a song called "Hound Dog."
On July 2, 1956, a young Elvis Presley came to New York City's RCA studios to record his next hit single. Presley had his young band in tow and it already had been decided by his handlers that he was going to record a song called "Hound Dog." The tune, written by the famous white rock and roll songwriting team of Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber, had already become a hit-made famous for its hard edge by blues diva Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton. After 31 takes to get "Hound Dog" right, Presley and company moved to the ever-important task of recording a B-side.
After lunch and back in the RCA recording studio, Presley began rummaging through the piles of demo tapes that had been provided by his publishing company, Hill and Range. By that afternoon, he had stumbled across a demo containing songs recorded by an obscure African-American singer/songwriter from Brooklyn named Otis Blackwell.
Blackwell was a veteran of the hardcore East coast blues scene but also, strangely enough, was a lifelong fan of country & western music. Blackwell confessed many times over the years that as a child he would sit in the Tompkins Theatre in Brooklyn and watch the singing cowboys, Gene Autry or Tex Ritter, in movies all day. The mix of blues and country was unique for an urban, black songwriter.
Presley hadn't ever heard of Otis Blackwell at the time, even though Blackwell had signed to Presley's future label (RCA) in 1953 after his own success with a song called "Daddy Rolling Stone." And Blackwell, who worked as a clothes presser during the day to pay his rent, probably hadn't heard of Presley. Despite Presley's sudden success in 1954 with "That's Alright, Mama," he was still just a regional star.
But once Presley played Blackwell's tape that day 51 years ago, rock and roll would be forever changed. The song that caught Presley's ear was called "Don't Be Cruel." The tune had come down from Blackwell's connection in New York-Shalimar Music-and had made its way to Presley.
What was it about "Don't Be Cruel" that appealed to a young Elvis Presley and eventually the world?
Some say it was the pop nature of the tune, but others insist it is the country feel that made it so appealing. Actually, it was much simpler; Otis Blackwell had written a rock and roll song that was tailored for the voice of a white singer. "Don't Be Cruel" isn't a hardcore rhythm and blues tune for a white singer to interpret; it is a song with blues elements but a country feel-fashioned perfectly for a softer approach. It is an important distinction.
So on July 2, 1956, Blackwell's infectious rock and roll tune with its simplistic lyrics, country twang and catchy hit phrase ("Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true…") became the B-side to Elvis's rendition of "Hound Dog."
Presley took 28 takes to get the song right, but it was worth the effort. When "Don't Be Cruel" was finally released, it became the highest selling pop record of all time. And for the year 1956, according to Billboard, it was the highest selling rock and roll single-even though it was a B-side. It stayed at No. 1 twice as long as the A-side, "Hound Dog." Blackwell and Presley shared songwriting credit, despite the fact the two had never even met.
Many years later, on January 10, 1984, the singer/songwriter from Brooklyn rode down from the great borough of his birth (1931) to Manhattan to tape a television appearance on Late Night With David Letterman. Presley had been dead almost seven years and was now bigger than life. Blackwell, who had never met Presley but had given him songs and lent important components of his singing style and voice, sang one song for the world that day. The following is an account of Blackwell's little known interview with Letterman and his performance of the tune that changed rock and roll forever.
Otis Blackwell, who wrote over 1000 songs, died in May 2002 in Nashville.
As always, he was dressed rather ordinary, but yet, he looked like a star. He wore wide legged tan slacks, a wide collared bright tan silk shirt and a dark, rather noticeable, vest full of colorful golden designs. His silk shirt, on close inspection, was pressed so carefully you could see the creases in the sleeves. His shoes were casual, leather zip-up boots that reached just beyond his ankles. His shoes matched his slacks and shirt almost exactly. And his hair, as it could have been seen in numerous publicity shots when he was a younger man, was short and well kept-the left side parted neatly and nondescript. Yes, he looked like a star.
Otis Blackwell was an elusive mythical figure in the annals of rock and roll. The customary four million Late Night With Letterman viewers on January 10, 1984, who had luckily tuned in for a piece of rock and roll's past were about to be enlightened and perhaps overwhelmed by a short, unassuming African-American man who was a legend in pop music circles. Blackwell was not just any rock and roll singer/songwriter anyway; from 1955 to1960, it was universally agreed that he had provided rock and roll with a sacred, untouchable canon of songs.
He looked cool too. Everyone who knew him over the years always said he looked cool. He had on his ever-present dark glasses with lenses so thick one might conjure images of Ray Charles. They were appropriate too. Though Otis was not completely blind like Charles, he wore the thick glasses precisely because his sight was poor. In fact, rhythm & blues legend Jimmy McGowan says that in 1979, Otis told him that he was legally blind.
But on that night, poor eyesight didn't mean anything to Blackwell. He was back where it all began. He had ventured over the bridge from his home borough of Brooklyn into Manhattan as he had done countless times during his life to play, record or promote his music. And this, he knew, was an important night. Late Night With David Letterman was a television show on the rise in American popular culture, and it had a particular strong, cult-like following amongst young people (18-35). These were the people who were apt to love and worship rock and roll music, its culture, stars icons and most importantly, its mythological figures and their lost stories.
Letterman, the veteran comic from Indiana, was an amiable host as always as Blackwell's segment began. He had already dazzled the audience with two popular, regular features on his program: "Stupid Pet Tricks" and "Small Town News." By the time Blackwell's moment arrived, there was a certain energy looming, despite Letterman's seemingly innate ridiculousness. Behind his wooden desk at NBC's Rockefeller Center, Letterman was beaming.
He was adorned in a conservative blue-gray sports coat with a striped tie. His now famous flop of hair looked thick and more pronounced; it was probably the only part of him more distracting than his legendary gap-toothed smile that will always invoke the cover of Mad magazine.
"He has been referred to as the most influential songwriter in the history of rock and roll…I mentioned some of these songs earlier…it is unbelievable," Letterman announced forcefully in his strange squeaky voice when he called Otis to the stage. "…'Great Balls of Fire,' 'Handy Man,' 'Breathless,' 'Return to Sender,' 'Fever'…and we are delighted to have him on the show tonight. Please folks, give a nice welcome to Mr. Otis Blackwell." The crowd clapped feverishly.
Blackwell, who was 51 years old at the time, eased around the corner from backstage towards Letterman's desk and looked confident although he seemed to be lumbering along slowly. He was much heavier than he had been as a young man laboring on the tough New York rhythm & blues scene in the 1940s, but he was ready. He had never been afraid of the stage once he made the decision to take the stage; it was making the decision that had always seemed to haunt him over the years.
Blackwell met Letterman at the edge of the stage and graciously gripped his hand. He walked in front, waved his hand lightly up to the crowd to acknowledge their applause. He was always gracious, and he was in his element.
He had stopped performing his brand of rhythm & blues back in the '50s. This was before rock and roll took off and became the music that would unite and define a generation. In the years after that choice, he devoted most of his energy to songs for others. But in the '70s, as a different kind of rock and roll surged to the forefront, he had returned to familiar haunts in New York and along the east coast club corridor to become a singer again. He wasn't seeking the limelight in returning to doing live performances either; you would think he would, after so much time behind the scenes.
From the distant recesses of America's music publishing industry and record making machinery that sold millions of records each year, Blackwell had hitched rock and roll music to his back from 1955 to1960 and set the country ablaze with his words, lyrics and bouncy, bass-driven tunes. It was not at all different from Chuck Berry's run in the 1950s, but even more impressive because he had done it as a songwriter exclusively and had spread his oeuvre across the spectrum of the genre.
For the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, the gifts had been lucrative and legendary: "Don't Be Cruel," "All Shook Up," "Return to Sender," "Paralyzed" and "One Broken Heart for Sale," just to name a few. For Jimmy Jones, who hadn't had many hits in the industry, he co-wrote "Handy Man" (made famous again later by James Taylor). For Jerry Lee Lewis, another white singer who had changed the face of rock and roll, Blackwell delivered the Pentecostal rock and roll fusion tune "Great Balls of Fire." And for Little Willie John, Peggy Lee and countless other rock and rollers over the years, his immortal hit "Fever" had delivered the goods. Few non-performing rock and roll figures had ever amassed so many important popular songs. And that's where Letterman began the interview-back in the day.
"Was 'Don't Be Cruel' the first song of yours that Elvis recorded?" Letterman asked instantly. He asked the question so quickly you could tell he didn't want the interview to digress anywhere else. He knew this audience would respond to that because it had long been suspected that Elvis Presley had been drinking from some secret creative well.
"Yes it was," Blackwell said. He leaned in towards Letterman and shifted in his seat. His face looked serious, yet it exuded an uneasiness about the topic.
"How did that come about?"
"Well, it's a hard story," he said. It was almost as if the answer had escaped him suddenly. He had been asked that question dozens of time over the years from all kinds of writers and interviewers. The story was the stuff of legend now. And in a way, as he began to speak to Letterman and to the nation for that matter, he seemed to stumble with nervousness-like that magical tale of Duke Ellington penning "Mood Indigo" while his mother made supper, or the one about Robert Johnson disappearing from Mississippi only to return with the key to the Delta blues in his heart and soul.
According to the story that became official by the late 1970s, Blackwell had written "Don't Be Cruel" around Christmas in 1955 when it was snowing and wet in New York. He was, as he told Letterman, grinning, "writing songs…freelancing" and working "any old job that came along where I could make me a dollar or two…as long as it was honest." His smile was as broad as his explanation.
But through connections on the New York music scene he had developed from his years of toiling as a blues singer, Blackwell told Letterman and his audience that he had sold "Don't Be Cruel" and several other songs for $150 that day to a music publishing company called Shalimar Music.
"I received $25 for each song," he said. He held up his hands to indicate money. "One of those songs was 'Don't Be Cruel.'" Eventually, Blackwell's now famous demo tape that included "Don't Be Cruel" made its way to a young Elvis Presley. He too had come to New York in 1956 to record his follow-up to his smash hit "That's Alright, Mama." Presley recorded Blackwell's "Don't Be Cruel" as a B-side to "Hound Dog".
Letterman adored controversy, and at times he enjoyed asking his guests uncomfortable questions. In this interview, however, Blackwell was not his target. Letterman was going after the giant named Elvis Presley.
"Now, Otis, on the sheet music here, it says, 'words and music by Otis Blackwell and Elvis Presley,'" Letterman pried as he held up the sheet music to 'Don't Be Cruel.' "Now, did he work you on the song with you at any time?" You can tell Letterman is asking a question that Blackwell has been asked so many times over the years. He almost lets a smile escape and pretends to act as if it is all new to him, as if he is not so sure.
But though it is no longer important to him, others still want to point it out. Blackwell didn't have anything against Presley. In fact, as he would tell Letterman later in the interview, he thought that he and Presley had "a good thing going." And though they never met, he felt that because he made tapes for Presley to listen to, "in a sense, we had met." Letterman however, in his sly way, had boxed in Blackwell to answer the question.
"No, he didn't," Blackwell said, as if rehearsed. "Then how does his name get there?" Letterman continued. "That seemed to have been the practice," Blackwell replied. And it was, at the time, the practice. Presley was such a huge star that his publisher-Hill & Range-could command a songwriting credit for their writer. The songwriters knew they would stand to make a lot of money from a Presley recording, so if Presley wanted half of the songwriting credit, he could get it. Blackwell had told other interviewers that he was reluctant to provide Presley with credit for writing the songs at first, but like most of the other writers who encountered the Presley phenomenon, he acquiesced.
After Letterman led Blackwell through more questions about Presley, it came time for the performance. That was why he was there anyway. He harbored no ill will about the past. That was business; as for the singing part, the performance-now that was different. That was the beauty of it all.
Music director and keys player, Paul Shaffer's nimble fingers dropped down powerfully onto his keyboard and the familiar boogie-woogie piano intro that served as the linchpin for the song erupted into the audience. It was just as the song had been written in 1955 with the piano introduction. It is a simple song too. And in American popular music, simplicity is good. In fact, it is usually the key to commercial success. It helps that millions of record buyers remember the hook-the phrase that clinches the tale. If the hook can be remembered, an epidemic of listening, dancing and purchasing can be commenced in every neighborhood in the land.
By now NBC studio at Rockefeller Center was bopping. Blackwell had turned the place into a sock hop. It was a preachy brand of rock and roll too; it wasn't Bill Haley and the Comets. It had a singular distinction-a strong sense of story, however simple it was. The camera zoomed in on Blackwell. He seemed to be a different person now on stage. Just moments ago he was sitting on stage and had stumbled through answers to questions he had been answering for years. Many have described this quality about Otis over the years. Jimmy McGowan, who sang with the rhythm & blues standouts, The Four Fellows, met Blackwell in the 1940s in Brooklyn at Pope's recording studio on Fulton Avenue. He remembers the clear dichotomy between the Otis who loved to sing music and the Otis who was quiet and reserved.
"He seemed to be two different people," McGowan said. "On the one hand you wouldn't recognize him in a crowd, but when he began to sing and perform, Otis Blackwell was a commanding presence. There was no one else in the room or on stage but that man." Otis clearly rocked with the best of 'em, just as McGowan described, on this particular night. His voice got emotional and his hands began to move and stress his feeling for the music.
And then it was over-Otis Blackwell "live" in New York City. Back to the place where it began for him three decades ago. Millions had seen him that night. The moment had a Warhol-ian quality to it too. But it wasn't 15 minutes as Warhol would have insisted upon; it was almost eight minutes. Some small talk, history and then a song that barely lasts more than two minutes, but a song that changed lives. Otis didn't need a Warhol moment though; he had been living in the moment since before the day he sold the demo tape Christmas of 1955.
Blackwell was before the world completely now. He knew who he was and what he had done. There was the business, there was society and there was Elvis Presley. He knew Elvis would always be there, but it would not bother him. There was no need to cry the blues about it; Elvis had done what he had done and Blackwell had done what he had done. No one could ever take that away. At last, Otis Blackwell was a star.

D.C. Week: Mental Health Parity Gets Push
WASHINGTON — The White House gave mental health parity laws some teeth and earmarked $9.3 million for teaching state insurance regulators about compliance.
White House Puts Mental Health Parity in the Spotlight
A report issued Thursday by the Obama administration aimed at increasing enforcement of mental health parity laws is a welcome advance, according to several interest groups.
"APA welcomes this much-needed report to strengthen implementation and enforcement of existing mental health parity laws," Maria Oquendo, MD, PhD, president of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), in Arlington, Va., said in a statement. "Full implementation and stronger enforcement will help ensure that psychiatric conditions are treated the same as other illnesses and individuals can access the treatment they need."
The report was issued by the White House's Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Parity Task Force, which was established in late March by President Obama. The task force's goal "is to essentially develop a set of tools, guidelines, mechanisms so that it's actually enforced, that the concept is not just a phrase — an empty phrase," the president said when he established it.
CMS Urges Health Plans to Ease Physician Reporting Burden
Commercial insurers can borrow from the lessons government payers gleaned from listening to physicians' complaints, a leading public health administrator said here at AHIP's National Conference on Medicare, Medicaid and Duals.
"All the ways that health plans, in many respects, use to differentiate themselves, that annoyed the crap out of doctors — just stop," said Andy Slavitt, acting administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Offering a brand-new portal that delivers information in a unique way only marginally better than the another version is not the way to impress providers or improve care, he continued.
"Even if you think [the portal] is 5% better, believe me, the doctor would rather have it 5% worse and have it [all] one way, because they're going to use it," he said.
FDA Warns of Testosterone Abuse
The FDA is adding a warning about the potential for abuse to the labels of testosterone products, the agency announced.
In a statement, the FDA said that abuse of testosterone — "usually at doses higher than those typically prescribed and usually in conjunction with other anabolic androgenic steroids" — is tied to "serious safety risks affecting the heart, brain, liver, mental health, and endocrine system."
Serious adverse events that have been reported to FDA have included heart attack, heart failure, stroke, depression, hostility, aggression, liver toxicity, and male infertility, the agency said.
People who have abused testosterone at high doses have also reported withdrawal symptoms, such as depression, fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite, decreased libido, and insomnia, FDA said.
More Medicare APM Options for Docs
Physicians who are wondering if they can fit into any of the Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) will now have a few more options to consider.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) "expects to re-open applications for new practices and payers in the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) model and new participants in the Next Generation Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model for the 2018 performance year," the agency said Tuesday in a press release. "In addition, CMS is announcing that the Innovation Center's Oncology Care Model with two-sided risk will now be available in 2017, which will qualify the model as an Advanced APM beginning in the 2017 performance year."
Under the APM program, clinicians meeting specific requirements would earn incentive payments of approximately 5% for 5 years in a lump-sum payment every year from 2019 to 2024.
Anti-PD-1 Agent Gets First-Line Nod for NSCLC
The role of anti-PD-1 therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has now reached first-line status, as the FDA has now approved pembrolizumab (Keytruda) as an option for initial therapy in selected patients, according to manufacturer Merck.
Announced late Monday, the approval granted a first-line indication for patients who have tumors with a tumor progression score (TPS) ≥50%, as determined by an FDA-approved test for PD-L1 expression, and no actionable EGFR or ALK mutations.
The implications of the new indication go far beyond the usual expanded-indication status granted by the FDA, said Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD, of Yale Cancer Center.
"This is huge, to think that we have replaced chemotherapy in first line in lung cancer with an immunotherapy for a large number of patients," Herbst told MedPage Today. "The assay for PD-L1 expression identified patients who were more likely to respond to PD-1 inhibition, and I think it represents a new standard of care."
The expanded indication was based on data from the KEYNOTE-024, reported at the European Society for Medical Oncology conference.
Va. Gov Continues Fight for Medicaid Expansion
Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) argued that Medicaid expansion would not only save lives but also create more jobs in his state. McAuliffe will continue to fight for what he sees as a needed reform in his fourth and final year in office.
"I have been a spectacular failure at being able to close the coverage gap in the Commonwealth of Virginia," McAuliffe told his audience at AHIP's National Conference on Medicaid, Medicare and Duals, here.
"It has not been for want of trying," he added.
Sixty-six of the 100 members in Virginia's House of Delegates are Republican, and that majority has prevented him from passing even "creative" waivers that would eliminate state liability.
Congress continues its recess.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the FDA' s National Center for Toxicological Research Science Advisory Board will discuss the past year's accomplishments, and FDA's individual centers, including the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, will report on their research strategic needs and the potential for collaboration.
On Wednesday through Friday, U.S. News & World Report will host the annual Healthcare of Tomorrow conference.
Also on Wednesday, the FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee will discuss whether to include five bulk drug substances on the section 503A Bulks List.
On Thursday and Friday, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) will discuss Medicare payments and policies.
On Friday, the FDA's Antimicrobial Drugs Advisory Committee will discuss an application to approve solithromycin for treating community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.
And the National Academy of the Sciences' Committee on Pain Management and Regulatory Strategies to Address Prescription Opioid Abuse will convene for its second workshop.

Q: Sybase client/server setup At the place where i work, the client program is actually a shortcut for one exe file locate in the intranet. All the users practically using the same exe file.
Is this the correct way of setup an client/server environment?
Does this results in high CPU usage?
I always believe that client program should be installed in every user's PC.
But the program need an .ini file which everyone can easily see the content. (database username, password, etc.)
What is the safe way if I were to install the program in every PC.
We always have problems such as the program hangs, slow connection, etc.
Do you think the way we setup the environment is the cause?

A: A network installation is not globally "incorrect", although it can, as you point out, cause problems when you have a less-than-reliable network infrastructure. PowerBuilder has also had some bugs (in specific versions, you don't mention yours) that only manifest themselves or are more pronounced when executables are on a network resource. I'm not sure a network installation would be my first recommendation, but I'd hesitate to call it "wrong."
Access to global information is a challenge when you don't network deploy. Most apps I've worked on either deployed this information on installation, or shared it through the database. (Never had an app that shared user name and password, though... shudder... I suppose there may be some cases.) Deploying on installation to local files either assumes the information is non-volatile (or at least not more often updated than releases) or that the information will be synced with a network accessible location on a regular basis. There are several utilities you can use to sync these resources, or you can code it in your app.
As for pinning your problems on network installation, we don't have enough information to safely do that. (It's safe to say that hangs and "slow connections" can occur with local installations.) You'll have to do the legwork yourself to get evidence to that end.
Good luck,
Terry

[UPDATE: The Log Is A Lie!] David Lynch Is Set To Bring Us More 'Twin Peaks'!
Posted January 8th, 2014 by Stuart Conover
UPDATE: According to the series co-creator Mark Frost ('Fantastic Four','Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer') via his Twitter account, he called the casting call "Another strange baseless rumor" While he could be out of the loop, trying to keep the truth quiet for a surprise, or is saying that a continuation of the show and not just a tease for a blu-ray release is a rumor – this probably means any new footage most likely isn't going to happen. We'll keep you updated if we hear more but the original post of what we were expecting goes as follows:
We have good news and bad news for fans of 'Twin Peaks'. Good news: they can breath a sigh of happiness as David Lynch ('Dune', 'Lost Highway') is going back into production – something many fans have been wanting to happen for years!
Are we going to see a return to the Red Room? Well, that's part of the bad news as his return is only going to be for a promo for the series and not an actual return to the small screen. The details of this special 'Twin Peaks' footage isn't revealed but the rumor mill has it being included in the special features of the upcoming Blu-ray set that is set to be the most extensive home release 'Twin Peaks' fans have ever had a chance of seeing.
What will this special Blu-ray set contain, you ask? Expect to see the full series, the film 'Fire Walk with Me', a ton of deleted footage, special features, and this new little promo. We don't know a lot of of who's going to be in it but there was a casting call recently which indictad they are looking for a specific type of female for the shoot:
Hot Caucasian Girl – Brunette or Redheads Only. To play waitress, 18-27. Must have an amazing body, busty, very period face.
So while we're not getting a full continuation or reboot of the series as many would hope, at least there will be some new footage. The consolation prize, if you could call it that, is we still have M. Night Shyamalan's 'Wayward Pines' that will be done in a similiar style. Sure Shyamalan's recent films have been iffy at best when he's been in the director's chair but we'll see how he does on the small screen.
So tell me fans, are you excited for something new that takes place in the 'Twin Peaks' universe or are you a bit annoyed that a new promo is all we'll be getting?

BATTERY POWER: Solar-charged batteries can cut the annual household electricity bill by up to $400.
SCENIC Rim homeowners are invited to apply for renewable energy assistance through solar and battery installation funding.
Energy Minister Anthony Lynham said regional households and small businesses had made about a third of the 2150 loan and grant applications to date to install rooftop solar panels and battery systems.
A spokeswoman for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, the government department running the program, said there had so far been 20 applications from within the Scenic Rim, with 15 already approved.
She said the installation must be done by an approved installer, with the Scenic Rim to be serviced by companies in Browns Plains or the Gold Coast.
But with 2150 applications on the state government's books already, Dr Lynham said the clock was ticking on the scheme, which offered grants of $3000 and interest-free loans of up to $6000 for batteries, and $10,000 for combined solar-battery installations.
He said the scheme offered loans and grants for households as well as local businesses installing panels and solar-charged batteries for use during peak electricity periods to reduce electricity costs .
Dr Lynham said the scheme also aimed to support high quality installers and help kick start the battery storage industry and create new jobs.
How to apply for solar, battery or solar and battery package.
Find a list of eligible suppliers and batteries online at qld.gov.au/batteryloans and get a quote.
Tell your supplier you're approved and get your system installed. You cannot get it installed before approval or you're not eligible.

Home Security OPM Terrorists Get Weaker and Divorce, by Roman Albatros
OPM Terrorists Get Weaker and Divorce, by Roman Albatros
Roman Albatros | Papuan Observer
Since its establishment as a terrorist group, the Free Papua Organization seems to have experienced a degraded strength and continues to weaken. Moreover, the Indonesian government continues to strive to narrow down the movement of the OPM terrorist group in Papua which is being carried out by joint TNI-Polri personnel.
The OPM terrorists are a difficult movement to unite because there are many factions. Although there are many factions and competing for interests internally, broadly speaking, the group consists of 3 wings of the movement, namely the political, clandestine and armed wings.
The movement's wings made use of social media features to communicate with each other, plan rioting and spread hoaxes to form opinions about the atrocities of the Indonesian government.
Head of Information for the Joint Defense Areas Command (Kapen Kogabwilhan) III, Colonel Czi IGN. Suriastawa stated that so far the Joint Task Force for the TNI and Polri had carried out measured actions against a number of armed criminal groups, the OPM that had been labeled a terrorist group in Papua.
Suriastawa also explained that some time ago, his party had succeeded in arresting one of the rioting provocateurs in Papua who was strongly suspected of being affiliated with the OPM group, namely Victor Yeimo. In addition, the TNI and Polri have also succeeded in controlling the headquarters of the OPM terrorist group led by Lekagak Talenggen in Wuloni and Tagalowa, Ilaga district, Puncak Regency, Papua.
In the Ilaga district, several members of the OPM terrorists were successfully paralyzed with hot lead by the joint TNI-Polri team and there were also OPM members who surrendered.
Suriastawa also believes that the OPM terrorist group is now getting weaker. One indication that shows the weakening of the OPM terrorist group is the pattern of spreading fake news or news spread by the OPM network through several local Papuan online media.
He also suspects that acts of violence in the form of shooting at a number of civilians that had occurred were carried out by criminal separatist groups while their strategic plans for their movements have been uncovered. He also suspected that this was done as an effort to show their existence to foreign countries who were donors for his movement.
"Many KKB have returned to NKRI because they realized that the actions they had taken were wrong"
Meanwhile, the massive onslaught carried out by the TNI-Polri apparently made some of the KKB officials and members shrank and immediately surrendered.
One of them is Alex Hamberi, who is the Governor of the Federal Republic of West Papua (NRFPB) as well as one of the leaders of the OPM.
It should be noted, that Alex Hamberi along with 17 members came to the Nemangkawi Task Force to declare themselves loyal to the Republic of Indonesia.
In his statement, Alex said that he had been appointed Governor of the NRFPB in Nabire Regency, Papua. However, because of self-awareness, he chose to return to the bosom of the Republic of Indonesia, because it was considered that this step had been wrong so far.
Alex was also not alone, he brought 17 of his subordinates along to follow in his footsteps, namely declaring loyalty to the Republic of Indonesia.
When they surrendered, they held tightly to the red and white flag, which symbolically represented the return of Alex and his friends to the bosom of Mother Earth.
This moment ju g of a witness by the military-police apparatus, Chief Sarakwari Yerisiam Rumatra Agus, Chief of the Yerisiam Job Kowoy, Sima village head Daniel Inggeruhi and religious leaders Reverend John Rarawi.
In 2020, the OPM group was proven to have spread lies not only to civil society, but also to their members.
It is experienced by Tenius Tebuni, an ex Angg ota elite troops from Rambo Lokbere OPM group, led Egianus Kogoya. Tenius decided to surrender to the TNI soldier, Task Force for the 323 / White Crocodile Raider Infantry Battalion from the Army Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad), because he felt he had been cheated by the OPM.
Tenius revealed that OPM promised to give him money and a decent life if he was in the OPM camp. However, in reality all these promises are just nonsense. In fact, during his time with OPM, Tenius often felt hungry in the forest, due to the lack of food supplies. When he was hungry, the OPM also forced Tenius to commit cruel acts such as robbing and torturing the public.
Of course, this clearly illustrates that the OPM is getting weaker, moreover, their movements are not as solid as they say.

I cropped some pixels of the intro from the left and right side and made sure people with widescreen tvs wont have black bars whatsoever.
and you are right, a sample would be good to post.
this is a political sci-fi thriller with not much space combat (since the combat is the game).
I'm resaving everything all over again. I dont want too much pixel cropping.
Take as long as you need to make it good for yourself.
I finished compressing to divx, but I have had some audio issues.
They show their nice dolby digital surround logo while a few % of the movie/cutscenes are actually in stereo, which makes it impossible to merge to one file.
doom9.org takes 5 days before a new member can reply. So I can't put my question there yet.
I downloaded programs such as besweet and azid which almost did the job in making 2ch into 6ch, but the hz are not the same virtualdub claims, so I've no luck yet.
After compiling the blocks I could they were all out of sync.
I solved that problem now.
Tomorrow I'm gonna convert the sound to the same standard and hopefully it's done in the weekend.
I'm doing it for me and if others are interested.
I finished today. will be posting it within the hour or so.
is this link still alive - today ? = I dont see any sources anywhere. Anyone care to revive it for the masses?

If you can stand a 3 hour show with hardly any space battles, sure I can host it. I actually was asked to share the DVDR of Condorman, but I really can't find it anymore.
Though I find it odd, I checked the movie and I found sources.
Which server are you checking on?
last time I checked were 7 sources, this was almost a month ago. Today I didn't find any.
I'm gonna dig up the "movie" for ya and post it later.
i might have it on my pc too, i can support but my bandwidth is reserved for other things for about 19months in advance.
That sounds good: I´ll give it a go and see what happens.
hmmm - I am not finding that I am having much luck, which servers are you guys on? My client says the file is available, but nothing appears to come down. I doubt I am finding you.

Q: Style questions by using \multirow and \parbox for getting a nicely formatted table The following situation gives me a lot of headache:
1) I would like to use \parbox to have also block text in the multirow areas. With the code below this doens't work. I tried to combine \parbox and \multirow in many ways but I got some errors... May someone know an elegant/easy solution for this problem?
2) I would like prefer another solution to writing [36pt] by guessing it!
Here is the relevant code:
    \begin{table}[!htbp]
    \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
    \begin{tabular}{ | p{0.04\textwidth} | p{0.36\textwidth} | p{0.22\textwidth} | p{0.26\textwidth} |}
      \hline
      \textbf{Nr.} & \textbf{Metrik}  & \textbf{Bewertungsskala}  & \textbf{Wertebereich} \\
      \hline
      1 & Ist das Verfahren im Bezug auf neu entwickelten Code bzw. Features anwendbar? & \multirow[t]{2}{*}{Likert Skala} & \multirow[t]{2}{0.26\textwidth}{{1: Stimme völlig zu\newline 2: Stimme zu\newline 3: Stimme weder zu noch nicht zu\newline 4: Stimme nicht zu\newline 5: Stimme überhaupt nicht zu}} \\ [36pt] \cline{1-2}

    \end{tabular}
    \caption{Metriken der Kategorie Anwendbarkeit mit Bewertungsskala und dem zulässigem Wertebereich.}
    \label{tab:Anwendbarkeit}
    \end{table}

Thanks in advance!

A: Just adding a \medskip at the end of the  2nd cell in the last row, and using the correct number of rows in \multirow  solves your problem. I also improved your table with a smaller \tabcolsep and using tabularx:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage{multirow, tabularx}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!htbp]
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}

It's About The Budget -- Stupid!
Thumbing today through the Wall Street Journal Online Edition, I was struck by the manner in which legislators and public official meet demanding budgets. Cut Education!
Over the last 3-5 years, private industry has suffered through PAINFUL cuts in jobs, capital improvements, etc. The blood-letting is beginning to subside. The Private Funds the Public. Make sense?
In turn, a Trickle-Down economy manifests a scorched-earth -- in a Down Economy. What makes anyone believe that Sacred Cows (the public education system) would be immune to the blood-letting as well.
I'm an advocate for Kids; I'm for raising teacher salaries. Yet, I'm against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse. Therefore, I must ask this of our Public Administrators (Mayors, City Managers, School Administrators...): 'Are we doing ALL we can do to gain every possible bit of efficiency out of the public's (as well as corporate) tax dollars?

To kick off the 2019 season, the Wildcats took on Boston University in their home opener at Wildcat Stadium on Thursday. Senior forward Chris Arling poked in the first goal of the season for the Wildcats off a rebound from an initial shot off the foot of graduate student Fabian Lutz. This turned out to be the game-winning goal as UNH would go on to control possession for the rest of the game.
"I think we created a lot of good chances especially in the first half," said Head Coach Marc Hubbard. UNH doubled BU's time of possession in the attacking third as they got 10 shots off in total and seven on goal just in the first half.
Other players like senior forward Antonio Colacci, junior back Josh Bauer, and Lutz got shots off but Arling was the only one to get a shot in the back of the net. Hubbard said of Arling "He's a guy that scored 30 goals in his first two years…I think the more he plays the more comfortable he's going to get and that will ultimately help us." Arling missed most of the 2018 season due to an injury and will be looking to lead this team as a fifth-year senior.
Arling commented on his leadership role this season, "Whether it's on the field scoring goals, off the field motivating people in the weight room, talking to people in training, a whole bunch of stuff."
UNH continued their dominance at Wildcat Stadium improving their home record to 11-1 in their last 12 games. Talking about that first win Coach Hubbard said, "We're going to be on the road here for a good amount of time, so it's good to do that in front of our home crowd."
In their second game of the year, the Wildcats beat Providence College on Monday 2-1 in Providence, Rhode Island. After going down 1-0 in the first half, senior forward Donnett Sackie tied the game and was assisted by senior midfielder Alan Kehoe for his first goal of the season. It was only 15 minutes into the second half when Arling put in the game-winner for his second goal of the year, assisted by Colacci. Through two games, Arling leads the team in points with four.
The Wildcats play next on Friday against Colgate University in Hamilton, NY at 5 P.M.

The advancements in technology have been a godsend to many individuals, children included. Along with the advent of the Internet and the evolution of gadgets (computers, laptops, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones), life has become so much easier and enjoyable for a number of people.
Families who live far apart from one another can now talk to each other in real-time, thanks to social networking sites and applications such as FaceTime, Viber, WeChat, etc. Online resources such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, e-books, and e-magazines have made it easier for students to do research work for their assignments and school projects. Video streaming sites, torrent sites, MP3 sites, and gaming sites make it possible for just about anybody to enjoy some downtime and entertain themselves without having to leave the house. Moreover, advanced technology has allowed people to work remotely from the comforts of their own home; thus, they have more time to devote to their families.
Indeed, it's impossible to ignore how technology has swiftly changed our lives. However, despite these advantages, some of the simpler and priceless things in life are being set aside. Due to over dependence on technology, kids would rather stay indoors and fire away on their gaming consoles that spend a nice day playing outside. Parents fare no better. They, too, stay cooped up inside their rooms or dens watching movies or browsing the Internet.
Studies have shown time and again how crucial quality time between parents and children is to the overall development of children. Hence, before things take a turn for the worse, it would be a good idea for parents to start spending time with their kids. A great activity that both parents and kids would enjoy is biking.
Nowadays, there is such a thing known as urban bicycling. As the name suggests, this bicycling is done in an urban environment as opposed to the usual route one takes when riding a bike – through inner streets or residential areas where traffic is sparse. While the idea seems quite intimidating especially since safety for children becomes an issue, urban bicycling actually offers many benefits not only to the parents but also to the children.
For one thing, children are naturally curious and riding their bikes throughout the city is a great way for them to explore the environment. In a way, it expands a child's spectrum beyond his classroom and home. While biking around with their parents, they become exposed to people and places between their homes and schools. Since urban roads are rife with street signs and other signage, children learn to read and understand these, which is another benefit to urban cycling.
A third benefit is that children learn to read maps, navigate through traffic, and interact with pedestrians and motorists. Fourth, bicycling is a good form of exercise. Fifth, it teaches children the value of green living. They would be in a better position to understand how car pollution adversely affects the environment and how bicycling fares differently.
There are kid-friendly urban group rides being organized in different areas these days. Moreover, in some areas, there are designated bike routes throughout the city where kids can ride with their parents. Efforts are being made to ensure that risks of serious injury are significantly reduced. Besides, if parents were bicycling with their children, their safety would always be paramount.
Hence, if you want your kids to explore a world other than their computers and video games, try urban bicycling. It's a cool hobby for the whole family.


Having lived through his presidency, I remember how his "1000 Points of Light" sentiment became an invitation to ridicule from his political opponents, but in retrospect I think he was onto something. The world is so much better when everyone cooperates.
Criticism of Washington, D.C. and all it stands for has become something of a national sport. But who elects our leaders? It would've been so much easier if the Founding Fathers would've given us someone who could make our decisions for us. There many titles that would've applied — king, emperor, sultan, czar, kaiser, supreme leader, president-for-life — the list is long on imagination, if short on substance. But they chose the hard way for us — we have to pick our leaders by ourselves.
This chore is complicated by not having a ruling class. In my lifetime, I've seen many different types of presidents, from the self-made leaders like Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan to the aristocratic families like the Kennedys and Bushes. And if you don't like the choices, you have every right to run yourself, like my high school classmate has done. Or better yet, like all those hundreds of women who entered politics for this year's election.
In remembering our 41st president, many of his friends voiced a sense of optimism that a higher ideal of public service, with its ability to compromise and move forward for the good of the nation, would someday return to national politics. I certainly hope they're right.


Having dandruff, medically called seborrheic dermatitis, is not life threatening. Yet, it can really be irritating to have it, especially when it becomes widespread and when the itching becomes non-stop. It can also become embarrassing when flakes end up on your clothes. Hence, it is understandable why, harmless as it may be, dandruff is not something anyone would want.
Also called seborrheic eczema and seborrheic psoriasis, dandruff affects all people – male, female, young and old. In babies, this condition is called cradle cap and manifests as scaly patches on the scalp which look oily, yellowish and crusty. While it can affect anyone, some are more susceptible to it than others. Reports show that men are more likely to have it than women. Also, people with oily skin and those with conditions like acne, Parkinson's and HIV are more prone to it.
Some studies claim that those with close family members with seborrheic dermatitis are at a higher risk of having it as well. Factors such obesity, stress, fatigue and poor hygiene may also trigger this condition.
What Causes Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis?
Scientists are yet to find out what exactly causes seborrheic dermatitis. What they know so far is that there are two things which may lead to the development of this skin problem. One is the abnormal growth of Malassezia, a naturally occurring fungus in the skin's oils. When this happens, the skin oversecretes oil which in return irritates the skin. The other factor is the overproduction of oil in the skin. Here, Malassezia is not involved; rather, it may be a product of hormones and/or genetics.
Some experts point to a weakened immune system as one of the reasons for the development of dandruff. There are also reports which say that certain medication can trigger this scalp problem.
What Are the Symptoms of Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis?
The most common symptoms of dandruff is the presence of skin flakes on the scalp. Since seborrheic dermatitis may affect other oily parts of the body like the eyebrows, face and chest, these whitish flakes may also be seen in these areas.
The affected areas tend to appear greasy and oily. The scalp or affected area also usually has patches of crusty or flaky skin which are either white or yellow. Of course, itching and reddish skin are very common in people with dandruff. At times, hair loss may be observed in the affected area.
It is important to note that the symptoms vary from person to person. Furthermore, certain factors like stress can exacerbate the symptoms in some people. Changes in weather may also cause flare-ups.
If you want to get relief from dandruff-related itching and rid your scalp of crusty patches, you need to consult a dermatologist or scalp specialist. This is because treatment cannot commence without a diagnosis.
While what you have may appear to be seborrheic dermatitis, it could also be psoriasis or rosacea since these conditions have similar symptoms. Hence, you need an expert to check your scalp and perform a biopsy to determine if what you have is really seborrheic dermatitis.
Once a diagnosis has been made, your dermatologist will create a treatment plan. Oftentimes, the first treatment option involves the use of dandruff shampoo and over-the-counter anti-itch creams. If this treatment protocol does not work, your doctor may give you prescription-grade shampoos and topical medications, specially formulated to treat seborrheic dermatitis.
Want your dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis treated? Talk to our dermatologist and trichologist to know your treatment options. Call us at 01 6793618 to schedule an appointment!

Become a brilliant budget cook this Winter and feed the family on a shoestring.
Here are a few ideas to make your housekeeping rand go a bit further this winter.
If you can afford to buy one, or can borrow one from somebody (lots of people get them for wedding presents and never use them – true fact!), then get a slowcooker.
They use hardly any electricity and are great for cooking and tenderising meat over a long period of time. I always unpack mine with relish as soon as the first cold day hits.
Recipe: Slow cooked gammon and pineapple chutney.
And why do I need to cook my meat for a long time? Because I buy cheaper cuts.
Topside, brisket, neck, shoulder, shin, blade, chuck, stewing steak – these have so much flavour, but can be tough if you rush them.
Sticking them in a slowcooker or putting them in the oven for a few hours will turn the meat into tender nuggets of deliciousness whilst the bones add flavour and intensity. All at half the price of 'posher' cuts.
Recipe: Slow braised shoulder of lamb.
I can make 500g of mince feed at least 15 people – and no, my name isn't Jesus.
Every bolognaise I make is 50/50 meat and cooked brown lentils – my family don't taste the difference, it's far healthier for us all and it doubles the amount of food I can make. Chicken curry? Add some chickpeas. Beef stew? Add a chopped butternut.
In my experience, the tasty sauce is what makes a casserole, so add extra herbs, seasoning and flavouring and no-one will miss the meat.
Recipe: Low GI cottage pie.
If you're starting to cook on a budget, then after a slowcooker, your best friend is a freezer.
When cooking a stew or casserole, always, ALWAYS make at least double and freeze in individual portions.
It means that you don't end up with 2 baby marrows in the fridge going mouldy (the recipe only asked for 4) and it also means that when you come home and can't be bothered to cook, there is something tasty and far cheaper than a takeaway pizza easily available.
A freezer also means you can take advantage of any special offers going which is cool.
5. Cook on the bone, serve off the bone.
I use a lot of chicken breast on the bone in my winter cooking – it's far cheaper than fillets and the bones add flavour - and I often find that although I can eat a whole breast, I actually don't need to.
If you cook a pack of 3 chicken breasts on the bone and then remove and chop the meat, you will have a dish that can easily serve 4 or 5 people and everyone will have enough. The same goes for chops.
6. 2 meals for the price of 1.
When you use a slowcooker, you do need to keep the liquid levels fairly high to keep the meat juicy. The upshot can be that you have more sauce than you need.
7. Multi-task with your oven.
If there is a problem with cooking meals over a long period of time, it's that it uses lots of electricity.
Try and multi-task whilst your dinner is in the oven so you get the most out of the heat – whip up a batch of banana muffins for next week's lunchboxes, oven roast some tomatoes to turn into pasta sauce or brown some beef bones and make your own stock.
These are all budget tips for meat-eaters and of course, being vegetarian or having one or two veggie days in a week will always help as well, but if anyone has got any other money-saving tips they'd like to share, then my wallet would appreciate it!

Ethics, STEM, And The Modern Dr. Frankenstein
by Ariel Zych, on January 10, 2018
digital resources, ethics, inventions, student discussion
Humans really enjoy inventing things. Each day, medical researchers hunt for new treatments for disease, bioengineers work to create malaria-resistant mosquitoes and rot-resistant crops, computer scientists create elaborate algorithms to power self-driving cars and intelligent robots, and technologists create new gadgets and software to solve problems.
However, amid all of this creation, a cloud of ethical dilemmas emerges.
Is it possible to predict the long-term consequences of every new invention? How can inventors avoid unintended tragedies caused by their creations? Who is ultimately responsible for the outcomes of a newly created organism, computer algorithm, or technology? Are the risks of negative outcomes from our inventions worth the potential gains?
What better time than the present to reexamine the classic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley?
A lot has changed since the original printing of Mary Shelley's novel two centuries ago in 1818, but as today's scholars revisit what is perhaps the first-ever science fiction novel, the issues stirred up by the story of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and the artificial life he created are as relevant as ever.
In honor of the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and to kick off Science Friday's Frankenstein Book Club, we've put together some ideas and resources for tackling modern science and engineering ethics through the lens of the novel.
Use Digital Storytelling To Explore The Ethics Of Experimentation
(Grades 4-8)
These digital experiences mix text, audio, and video to create immersive storylines filled with stereotype-busting characters and deep-thinking prompts. Students are challenged to read, take initiative in their own learning, and think critically about experimental design, ethics, and teamwork on the path to innovation. Good news for educators: These resources are free and open, and come with materials to support blended learning and hands-on activities!
A page from "Rio's Brain," one of the supplementary graphic novels in the Through My Window experience. Learn more about the team that created Through My Window here. Screen capture January 2018.
Most people wouldn't list reading mystery novels, hunting for lost brains, and solving crimes as common pathways to engineering, but the multimedia engineering experience Through My Window uses all of these devices to make engineering highly compelling. The Through My Window experience unfolds with a full-length young adult mystery novel "Talk To Me" (also available in Spanish) about a 14-year-old girl who has to use ideas about artificial intelligence, ethics, and engineering design to solve a crime. Additional games, stories, and challenges within the digital experience tackle open-ended questions about engineering while prompting students to write about and discuss their ideas about these topics in depth. Every inch of the site features beautiful illustrations of a diverse cast of characters.
Frankenstein200
Maya the lab assistant welcomes new recruits to the Laboratory for Innovation and Fantastical Exploration in the Frankenstein200 experience. Screen capture January 2018.
When participants enter Frankenstein200, they get welcomed to L.I.F.E., the Laboratory for Innovation and Fantastical Exploration, run by Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, a fictional descendant of the original Dr. Frankenstein in Mary Shelley's novel. Students complete a "personality test" and register with the site to begin a 30-day internship program and learning experience facilitated by a young lab assistant named Maya and her labmate Xavier. The experience prompts participants to consider the questions that emerge in Shelley's timeless tale and continue to inform contemporary discussions about science, technology, and society: What is life? What does it mean to be human? Why do we create?
Investigate A Case Study To Consider Modern Bioethics
(Grades 10-12, Undergraduate)

Case studies are in-depth stories that present realistic, complex situations in great detail as experienced by a key character or group of characters. They're used to train students in medicine, law, and the sciences to think critically about real-world scenarios, and are deeply engaging. The National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science maintains a large, peer-reviewed collection of case studies on a variety of topics.
Below is a sample of cases that grapple with the moral and ethical implications of biotechnology while addressing core biology concepts.
Frankenfoods
A university research laboratory is vandalized by environmental activists opposed to genetic engineering in this case focusing on the science and ethics of genetically modified crops.
Glowing Plants on Kickstarter: The Ethics of Synthetic Biology
This case study is centered around a real scenario from 2013 when Kickstarter included a fundraising proposal from a group wanting to use synthetic biology to make glowing plants.
Do You Really Know What You're Eating? A Case Study on Genetically Modified Foods
Starting from a fictional "news" report about an apparent allergic reaction to genetically modified corn in a taco, students consider some of the techniques and procedures used in today's molecular genetics and microbiology labs as well as some of the issues associated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Listen To Real Life Inventors Contemplate Their Creations
(All grades)

If you think that modern innovators are as blinded by ambition as Dr. Frankenstein was by his work, think again. As our ability to modify everything from cells to Earth's atmosphere grows, even the world's leading researchers and inventors are deep in thought over the moral and ethical implications of what they've created. Here's what some of them have to say.
'Our minds can be hijacked': the tech insiders who fear a smartphone dystopia, The Guardian (Article)
