Q: Real parts of diagonal elements of $(I-U)^{-1}(I+U)$ are zero? I noticed numerically that real parts of diagonal elements of $(I-U)^{-1}(I+U)$ are zero (assuming $I-U$ is invertible), where $I$ is identity matrix and $U$ is a unitary matrix ($U^\dagger U=I$).
A good example is provided by @copper.hat: take $U={1+i\over \sqrt{2}} I$, then $(I-U)^{-1} (I+U) = (1+\sqrt{2})i I$.
I have tried to use every answer in this question (Inverse of the sum of matrices) but none of them gives me any hints how to prove this.
By the way, here is a Mathematica script I used to check this using random unitary matrices (adapted here: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/11074/creating-a-random-normal-matrix):
n = 5; (*any dimension works here*)
q = Orthogonalize[
   RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[], {n, n}] +
    I RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[], {n, n}]];
Re[Diagonal[Inverse[IdentityMatrix[n] - q].(IdentityMatrix[n] + q)]]

I have to apologize for making too many mistakes at the beginning (even the title was wrong.). I hope some one can help me understand it.

A: Since $U$ is normal it is unitarily diagonalisable. Since it is unitary all eigenvalues lie on the unit circle.
If $U$ is diagonal and $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue on the unit circle then
${1 + \lambda \over 1-\lambda}$ is an eigenvalue of $(I-U)^{-1} (I+U)$. There
is no reason to presume that ${1 + \lambda \over 1-\lambda}$ is real just because
$\lambda$ lies on the unit circle (in fact, it maps the unit circle onto the imaginary line!).
Take $U={1+i\over \sqrt{2}} I$, then $(I-U)^{-1} (I+U) = (1+\sqrt{2})i I$.
Addendum: The question has changed, here is an update to the answer.
Let $ U = Q\Lambda Q^* $, where $Q$ is unitary and $\Lambda$ diagonal. Then
$V=(I-U)^{-1} (I+U) = Q(I-\Lambda)^{-1} (I+\Lambda)Q^*$.
Note again that the map $f(z) = {1+z \over 1-z}$ maps the unit circle into the imaginary axis, hence $(I-\Lambda)^{-1} (I+\Lambda)$ purely imaginary and
so $((I-\Lambda)^{-1} (I+\Lambda))^* = - (I-\Lambda)^{-1} (I+\Lambda)$.
It follows from this that $V^* = -V$ and so $V+V^* = 0$. In particular, the
real parts of the diagonal are zero.

Veteran columnist: Duterte will win by landslide
Ambassador and Malayan Business Insight Columnist Rey O. Arcilla said on his column that Duterte will win by landslide.
The veteran journalist, Arcilla, shared his perspective about the result of the upcoming elections and predicted that Mayor Rody Duterte will win the presidential race unless cheated by his opponents.
Must Read: Duterte vows to extend more protection to the country's journalists
Read his article below:
THE mainstream media have been largely ignoring the campaign sorties of President-to-be Rodrigo Roa Duterte (unless he is cheated).
Consequently, people have been resorting to social media (Facebook, YouTube, etc.) to see how he does whenever he goes to places in and outside Metro Manila.
The last one I saw was a video clip of his recent sortie to Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental, a Liberal Party stronghold. Ironically, it was reminiscent of Pope Francis' visit to Manila last year. Aside from the adoring multitude, Digong was also riding a vehicle-pulled contraption that reminded me of the popemobile.
The crowds that received him wherever he went were obviously not the "hakot" type. He does not have the money to resort to that. They come in droves because they like him. They want him to be their next president. He is different from the three other "trapos" contesting the presidency. They know he is sincere in getting us out of the quagmire we are in.
So, why are the mainstream media ignoring him? The only reason I could think of is because these media outfits belong to the rich, the oligarchs, many of whom are Washington-worshippers and have puppets in government. They are averse to the idea of losing virtual control over the kind of domestic and foreign policies, both political and economic, that the government pursues. They want only policies that would serve their selfish ends and satisfy their greed.
It is also obvious that crime and drug syndicates have become a pervading menace and destructive influence on our national life. They, too, do not want Digong to be president.
But this time, they will be frustrated notwithstanding the administration party's amateurish and desperate attempts to derail Digong's inexorable march to victory. The Filipino people will triumphantly carry him to Malacañang come July 1… unless he is cheated, in which case, there might be hell to pay in this benighted land.

Reimagining Business Planning in a World of Unpredictability
Ankit Tiwari
The 21st century has not been easy to predict. Voters have upended the orthodoxies of political science. Technology has morphed in ways that few were able to imagine. Traditional business models have been rocked. Creative destruction has led to wipe-off of 88% of mid-20th century Fortune 500 companies by new ones. The rate and nature of change has altered and this has profound implications for business planners.
The emergence of a set of digital technologies into the mainstream has undermined old certainties and simultaneously given business a new set of tools to deploy. Planning, in the era of AI, robotics, Big Data and analytics, has become less predictable, exponentially more dynamic and demand-driven. Customer expectations change rapidly. Competition appears from unexpected quarters. Boundaries blur.
As the technology of Industry 4.0 has exploded around us, a new wave of business planning has unfolded. Integrated business planning (IBP) offers executives a framework within which to manage the uncertainty and volatility of the digital era. My whitepaper Unlocking Business Growth with Integrated Business Planning describes in detail the steps involved in measuring IBP maturity and the ways that companies can improve their capability in this exciting emerging area of corporate futurology.
IBP allows businesses to respond in an agile manner to four distinct phenomena associated with this latest industrial revolution. 'Connected machines' that deliver real time information are part of IBP's DNA. The IoT allows companies using IBP to respond to fluctuating and granular demand patterns with agility. IBP thrives on the 'constant disruption' that comes from new business models, unconventional channels, and fast changing customer expectations. As these emerge and mature, an integrated plan can tweak or transform its approach depending on the threat or opportunity. The complex supply chains associated with 'inclusive growth' demand new ways of divining insights and IBP excels here too. Greater visibility lets a company extend its reach up or downstream where necessary. In a world where companies have to 'influence or perish' they have to break the silos that hamper new product and business model development. Here again IBP provides advantage because it provides a platform within which different departments and functions can contribute in a responsive manner.
Combining these capabilities in an integrated system lets companies iterate and simulate, test and refine in a manner previously unimagined. Their success depends on their ability to make the most of these emerging trends.
The benefits are immense but the path to success is not without its pitfalls and obstacles. The journey of IBP maturity requires progress on six vectors, defined as: People, Metrics, Process, Technology, Data Analytics, and Strategy & Culture. By measuring its current performance on each vector, a company can create a picture of its existing maturity levels. With this in place it can identify areas of priority and a transformation roadmap. IBP will deliver a series of benefits, as long-term plans become more flexible and short-term ones more agile and responsive. Supply chain costs will come down. Forecast accuracy will improve and the impact will be seen in better cash flow and reduced working capital requirements.
The market will likely become less predictable still. The companies that can respond with a model of integrated business planning will weather the storms most effectively.

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Virginia Cavaliers - April 08, 2019 Recap
Red Raiders Red Raiders 31-7
Cavaliers Cavaliers 35-3
Final/OT National Championship
Red Raiders 29 39 9 77
Cavaliers 32 36 17 85
Virginia, Texas Tech fight for first national title
MINNEAPOLIS -- A first-time college basketball national champion will emerge when Texas Tech and Virginia square off Monday in the NCAA Tournament national championship game.
For two teams unfamiliar with this stage, the idea of cutting down the nets at U.S. Bank Stadium is becoming more than a dreamscape.
"Why not us?" Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said. "We've got good players. We've got a great university. We play in arguably the best league in the country. We won the Big 12 regular-season title. We're a good team. We've got good players. Yeah, I think we deserve to be here, as do a lot of other teams. You've got to get fortunate, but we did. I'm looking forward to coaching these guys on Monday night."
Texas Tech (31-6) is attempting to become the first team since UConn in 1999 to run that table in its first Final Four appearance. The Red Raiders smothered Michigan State 61-51 in Saturday's national semifinal.
Virginia (34-3) was in the 1984 Final Four but Saturday's dramatic last-second escape against Auburn provided the long-awaited return trip. It's also the culmination of a redemption tour that began last March 16, when the No. 1-seeded Cavaliers were on the wrong side of history: a 74-54 loss to No. 16 seed UMBC.
"It's a great story. It is," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said.
"After the UMBC game, we sat in the holding area after that loss, and I said, we're not going to put up Isaiah (Wilkins) or Devon (Hall), our two seniors. Ty (Jerome) and Kyle (Guy), we're going to be up there, and that's going to be one of the hardest things, facing that press conference, but it starts now. It's going to mark something," Bennett said. "I said, we're going to get through this, but you guys need to be up there with me, and we need to go through this, and we need to go through next year together. We need each other. I knew it was going to be such an important time in our lives no matter how it played out. ... And now to sit with them here brings great joy to my heart, it really does."
Guy played hero for Virginia on Saturday, making a 3-pointer in the corner, and after Auburn's Jared Harper missed one of two free throws, Jerome got the ball to Guy in the opposite corner for a game-winning try. A foul was called on Samir Doughty in the act of shooting, and Guy hit all three at the foul line to seal the game with 0.6 seconds on the clock.
"I've been pinching myself the whole time I've been in Minneapolis because it doesn't really feel real," Guy said Saturday. "But I'm just so happy right now, so proud of -- (Jerome) played freakin' phenomenal. 21, 9, and 6 (points, rebounds and assists) -- he carried us through this game."
Texas Tech advanced to the Elite Eight in 2018 and lost to eventual national champion Villanova. With four new starters, including graduate transfer Matt Mooney at point guard and 6-10 Tariq Owens, the Red Raiders are on the verge of claiming their own trophy.
That's in great part a credit to Mooney, who tied a season high with 22 points and delivered big shots while Big 12 Player of the Year Jarrett Culver dealt with foul trouble. Mooney, from the far northwest Chicago suburb of Wauconda, is on his third college -- he spent his freshman year at Air Force and then attended South Dakota.
"I can't explain it, man. It's been a heck of a journey," Mooney said. "A lot of people have helped me get to this point, have helped me along the way. You know, this is -- I'm living the dream right now. I'm so grateful I got another opportunity."
If there's a common denominator between the title contenders, defense is the calling card. Virginia and Texas Tech rank in the top three in defensive efficiency.
Duke beat Texas Tech 69-58 on Dec. 20. The Blue Devils also handed Virginia two of its three losses -- 72-70 on Jan. 19 at Duke, and 81-71 in the rematch Feb. 9.
Blue Devils freshman Zion Williamson faced both teams this season and while he refused to pick a team to win the Final Four, he offered a first-hand breakdown of each.
"The thing about Virginia was how they could control the pace of the game. I don't think I've ever seen them frustrated. So they control the game very well," Williamson said.
And Texas Tech?
"Texas Tech, their defense, I mean, they took like nine, 10 charges against us ... their defense was probably the best I played against," Williamson said.

This will be the first-ever meeting between Texas Tech and Virginia, as well as the first national championship game appearance for both teams. This is the first title game between first-time participants in the title game since the 1979 National Championship Game between Larry Bird's Indiana State and Magic Johnson's Michigan State.
Virginia (55.5) and Texas Tech (58.8) rank first and third in Division I in scoring defense, and both are in the top five in opponent field-goal percentage (Virginia: 38.4, fifth; Texas Tech: 36.8, first).
Texas Tech has outscored all five tourney opponents by at least eight points in the second half. The only other teams to do that in their first five games of an NCAA Tournament were 1981 Indiana and 2000 Michigan State, both of whom won the title.
The Red Raiders entered the NCAA Tournament without a win against an AP Top 10 team (only such game was a loss to No. 2 Duke), but their last three wins in the tourney have all come against top-10 teams. The only teams to win four games in an NCAA Tournament against top-10 teams were 1963 Loyola Chicago, 1985 Villanova and 2016 Villanova, all three of whom won the title.
Texas Tech allowed 44 points to Michigan and 51 to Michigan State, becoming the first team to allow fewer than 100 points combined to two teams from the same conference in the NCAA Tournament since 1985 Villanova against the ACC (43 to Maryland, 44 to North Carolina).

What is Italian-Inspired Food?
To chef Harding Lee Smith, founder of The Corner Room located in Portland, ME, creating Italian-inspired food means infusing Maine's staple foods with spices, flavors and hints of classic Italian cuisine. For example, take the Beef Carpaccio dish from The Corner Room's dinner menu. This dish uses thinly-sliced raw beef with capers, red onion, aioli and shaved Parmesan.
Mainers are familiar with beef, onions and Parmesan cheese; however, it is Venice, Italy that made the name Carpaccio synonymous with a dish surrounding thinly-sliced raw beef. With the addition of capers (a type of pickled flower bud common to Mediterranean countries that adds a burst of salty flavor) and aioli sauce (a sauce made of oils, eggs, garlic, lemon juice and sometimes mustard) the dish begins to take on a flavor reminiscent of another world.
Seafood is a staple export and a beloved food of nearly all Mainers. Known for its lobster, Maine also has delicious scallops. In his Local Scallop Dish, Chef Harding brings a hint of the old-world flavor to seafood lovers by adding prosciutto (thinly sliced dry-cured ham) to the mix, but it's the white bean purée & whole grain mustard buerre fonduta (a signature buttery sauce) that makes his dish to die for.
While Mainers have grown accustomed to lunch and dinners with cultural accents, it's the breakfast dishes that can truly turn mornings into an exotic experience! How does Italian French Toast sound? What makes the dish decidedly Italian is that the bread is soaked in custard before it is cooked! Traditionally, French toast is dipped in eggs with a bit of vanilla and perhaps some sprinkled cinnamon for flavor. Harding's version goes just beyond traditional flavors with his special custard and poached winter fruits.
Brunch will never be the same for pizza lovers that try the Cured Salmon Pizza. Traditionally pizza is made with mozzarella cheese, but with the addition of mascarpone cheese, a buttery, spreadable type of cheese popular in Italy, the pizza begins to take on a richer texture that offsets the salmon, capers, red onion and herbs in a heavenly way. Think "melt in your mouth" instead of the stringy, slightly chewy texture of mozzarella.
It takes an artist to take traditional foods and "inspire" them with another culture. Chef Harding is one such artist and Maine diners will continue to support his creations for years to come.

DACA Amnesty Granted to Criminal Illegal Aliens
Mon, Jun 18th 2018 @ 5:06 pm EDT
Recent data, released today by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), revealed that the government granted amnesty to 53,000 illegal aliens -- 7% of all DACA recipients -- with existing criminal convictions under Pres. Obama's DACA executive amnesty. Of those criminal aliens approved for DACA, 10 were granted status despite being arrested for murder.
Additionally, the DHS report revealed that almost 8,000 more illegal aliens ended up with criminal charges after they were granted amnesty through the program. The data also show that of those criminal DACA recipients, 31 were charged with rape, 500 allegedly committed sex crimes, and more than 2,000 were arrested for driving while intoxicated.
"You have to have a conviction. You can be arrested a whole lot of times and get DACA," USCIS Director Francis Cissna said in a Fox News interview.
According to the report, more than 1,200 DACA recipients were granted amnesty, despite having between five and nine arrests on their records. Another 24 were granted amnesty, despite having been arrested more than 19 times, and regardless of the severity of the crime.
The report's release comes as the House is scheduled to vote on the Ryan Amnesty plan that would grant amnesty to at least 1.8 million illegal aliens. Because the Ryan Amnesty, like DACA, allows illegal aliens with criminal charges to still qualify, it would enable illegal aliens with multiple arrests for crimes to be eligible for the amnesty.

Tashir () is a town and urban municipal community located in Lori Province at the north of Armenia, near the border with Georgia. It is located 42 km north of the provincial centre Vanadzor and 154 north of the capital Yerevan. As per the 2016 official estimate, the population of Tashir is around 7,500.

Etymology
Tashir was founded in 1844 as Vorontsovka, named after the Russian prince and field-marshal Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov who was leader in the Caucasian War from 1844 to 1853. In 1935, the town was renamed Kalinino by the Soviets, in honor of the Bolshevik revolutionary Mikhail Kalinin. With the independence of Armenia in 1991, the town was renamed Tashir after the historic Armenian region of Tashir, a canton within the Gugark province; the 13th province of the historic Greater Armenia.

The name of Tashir – known as Tashiri in neighboring Georgia – is known since classical antiquity, referring to the plateau between the Debed and Pambak rivers. It was first mentioned by the Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi in his 5th-century monumental work History of Armenia, as one of the cantons of the lords of Gugark.

History
Historically, the area of modern-day Tashir was included in the Tashir canton of the historic Gugark province, the 13th province of Greater Armenia. During the reign of the Arsacid dynasty (52–428 AD) and later under Sasanid Persia (428–651), the area of Artik was ruled by the Kamsarakan Armenian noble family. With the Arab invasion of Armenia in 654, the region was granted to the Bagratid dynasty, who founded the Bagratid Kingdom of Armenia later in 885.

Between 979 and 1118, the region of Tashir became part of the Kingdom of Tashir-Dzoraget under the rule the Kiurikian dynasty. Between 1201 and 1360, it was part of Zakarid Armenia under the protectorate of the Kingdom of Georgia. The region became a prominent centre of the Armenian culture and scholars under the rule of the Zakarid princes of Armenia. However, after the Mongols captured Ani in 1236, Zakarid Armenia turned into a Mongol protectorate as part of the Ilkhanate. After the fall of the Ilkhanate in the mid-14th century, the Zakarid princes controlled over Tashir until 1360 when they fell to the invading Turkic tribes.

After suffering from the invasion of Aq Qoyunlu, Kara Koyunlu, Ottomans and Persians from the 14th to 18th centuries, most of the territories in northern Armenia were annexed from Qajar Persia in favour of the Russian Empire In 1801. The region of Tashir became officially part of the Russian Empire at the Treaty of Gulistan signed on 24 October 1813 between Imperial Russia and Qajar Persia.

In the Russian Empire, Tashir was founded in 1844 as Vorontsovka by Russian migrants from Saratov. The newly-established settlement was named after the Viceroy of the Caucasus Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov. In 1846, it was included in the Borchaly uezd of the Tiflis Governorate.

In 1935, during the Soviet rule, the settlement was renamed Kalinino after the Russian Bolshevik revolutionary leader Mikhail Kalinin and was called. In 1961, Kalinino was granted the statues of an urban-type settlement to become the centre of Kalinino raion. In 1983, it was granted with the status of a town.

With the independence of Armenia in 1991, the town was renamed Tashir after the historic Tashir canton of Gugark, and was eventually included within the Lori Province formed as per the 1995 administrative reforms of independent Armenia.

Geography

Situated at the northern part of Lori plain, Tashir is located on the shores of Tashir river, at an elevation of 1500 meters above sea level. The town is surrounded with black prairies, alpine meadows and many marshes. The town is dominated by the Javakhk range of the Lesser Caucasus from the west. Mount Achkasar which is the highest point of the range with a height of 3,196 meters, is located 25 km west of Tashir.

The town is characterized with a subtropical climate, with an average temperature of −5 in January, and 19 in July. The annual precipitation level is 420 mm.

Demographics

Currently, the majority of the population in Tashir are ethnic Armenians who belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church, regulated by the Diocese of Gougark, based in Vanadzor. The town's Surp Sarkis Armenian Apostolic church was built between 1995 and 2000 through donations from businessman Samvel Karapetyan and his brother Karen. There is also a tiny community of followers of the Armenian Catholic Church.

The healthcare is served through the Tashir Medical Center.

Culture
The area of modern-day Tashir was probably settled during the early Bronze Age. A cyclopean fortress, as well as an ancient cemetery dating back to the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC respectively are found near the town. The remains of a 10th-century church are also visible in the town.

Nowadays, Tashir is home to a cultural center, 3 public libraries, as well as a music school.

Transportation
Tashir is located on the M-3 Motorway that connects on Yerevan with Tbilisi. The town is also connected with eastern and western Armenia through the H-31 Road.

The Stepanavan Airport which is located  southeast of Tashir on the halfway to Stepanavan, is currently under renovation and expected to be ready during 2018.

Economy
The majority of the residents of Tashir are involved in industry, mainly the production of canned food and dairy. The town is home to a Swiss cheese factory that produces the cheeses Lori and Chanakh. It was one of the largest plants for dairy products in the Soviet Union.

However, the majority of the inhabitants are employed in agriculture. 32% of the lands are privatized, 71% of which are arable lands and 29% of which are pastures. Half of the state importance lands is 1660 ha. The lands are also used as arable farms and meadows, which cover 951 and 581 hectares, respectively. Other agricultural products and activities include grain, melons and gourds, potatoes and fruits, cattle-breeding, pig-breeding, poultry farming and bee-keeping.

Currently, the town is mainly suffering from its outdated network of regional roads, the sewage system and the water supply network.

Education
Tashir has 3 public education schools as well as many kindergartens. In 2015, the number of the students in the town reached up to 1186.

However, among the main problems of the community are the outdated school buildings and complexes.

Sport
There are two sport schools in the town mainly dedicated to individual sports including wrestling, weightlifting, martial arts and chess. There is also a regular-sized football training filed in the town.

As of 2015, the number of children attending the sport schools is around 120 children.

Tree Paine's Response To Kim Kardashian's Twitter Rant About Taylor Swift Complicates Things
By Jessica Vacco-Bolaños
Taylor Swift's team has her back. Amid the reignited game of he-said, she-said regarding what really went down during Swift and Kanye West's 2016 phone call about the lyrics to his song "Famous," Swift's publicist, Tree Paine, is telling her side of the story. Tree Paine's response to Kim Kardashian's Twitter rant about Taylor Swift has a pointed message.
Three days after new footage of the phone call was leaked on March 20, Swift took to Instagram to urge her fans to stop focusing on the phone call "that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family, and fans through hell for 4 years." Without further comment on the situation, Swift shared two organizations she has been donating to during the coronavirus pandemic and encouraged her followers to do the same if they are able.
Swift's post led Kardashian to speak out in a series of tweets with one that read: "I didn't feel the need to comment a few days ago, and I'm actually really embarrassed and mortified to be doing it right now, but because she continues to speak on it, I feel I'm left without a choice but to respond because she is actually lying."
Further speaking on what happened between West and Swift, Kardashian revealed: "The only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that 'Kanye never called to ask for permission...' They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word 'b*tch' was used without her permission."
Kardashian added:
It didn't take long for Swift's publicist Tree Paine to see Kardashian's tweets. Paine hit back at Kardashian in a tweet that read:
I'm Taylor's publicist and this is my UNEDITED original statement. Btw, when you take parts out, that's editing. P.S. who did you guys piss off to leak that video?
Paine also included a screenshot of her original statement from 2016 for reference.
Though Kardashian didn't reply directly to Paine, she ended her rant, writing: "This will be the last time I speak on this because honestly, nobody cares. Sorry to bore you all with this. I know you are all dealing with more serious and important matters."
Whether or not this will actually be the last time Kardashian speaks out about this situation is unclear, but hopefully everyone involved can someday get clarity and move on.

WOW Pesi that is a very good, short paragraph. You have put some very interesting words! Keep up the great work, and I would love hear another story of yours.
I am so sorry I didn't check my comment before, I posted it. That is one of the most imported thing to do before you post. Well I meant to say was. WOW Pesi that is a very good short paragraph. You have put some interesting words in there! I would love to hear another story of yours, and keep up the great work!
That was a great graph you showed there, like the way you added data in your paragraph. Statistics sounds really cool.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common pediatric infections. It distresses the child, concerns the parents, and may cause permanent kidney damage. Occurrences of a first-time symptomatic UTI are highest in boys and girls during the first year of life and markedly decrease after that.
Febrile infants younger than 2 months constitute an important subset of children who may present with fever without a localizing source. The workup of fever in these infants should always include evaluation for UTI. The chart below details a treatment approach for febrile infants younger than 3 months who have a temperature higher than 38°C.
Application of low-risk criteria for and approach to the febrile infant: A reasonable approach for treating febrile infants younger than 2 months who have a temperature of greater than 38°C.
The history and clinical course of a UTI vary with the patient's age and the specific diagnosis. No one specific sign or symptom can be used to identify UTI in infants and children.
Children aged 0-2 months
Neonates and infants up to age 2 months who have pyelonephritis usually do not have symptoms localized to the urinary tract. UTI is discovered as part of an evaluation for neonatal sepsis. Neonates with UTI may display the following symptoms:
Poor feeding
Infants and children aged 2 months to 2 years
Infants with UTI may display the following symptoms:
Strong-smelling urine
Children aged 2-6 years
Preschoolers with UTI can display the following symptoms:
Urinary symptoms (dysuria, urgency, frequency)
Children older than 6 years and adolescents
School-aged children with UTI can display the following symptoms:
Vomiting, abdominal pain
Flank/back pain
Physical examination findings in pediatric patients with UTI can be summarized as follows:
Costovertebral angle tenderness
Abdominal tenderness to palpation
Suprapubic tenderness to palpation
Palpable bladder
Dribbling, poor stream, or straining to void
See Clinical Presentation for more detail.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) criteria for the diagnosis of UTI in children 2-24 months are the presence of pyuria and/or bacteriuria on urinalysis and of at least 50,000 colony-forming units (CFU) per mL of a uropathogen from the quantitative culture of a properly collected urine specimen. [3]
Urinalysis alone is not sufficient for diagnosing UTI. However, urinalysis can help in identifying febrile children who should receive antibacterial treatment while culture results from a properly collected urine specimen are pending. [4]
Urine specimen collection
A midstream, clean-catch specimen may be obtained from children who have urinary control
Suprapubic aspiration or urethral catheterization should be used in the infant or child unable to void on request
Suprapubic aspiration is the method of choice for obtaining urine from the following patients:
Uncircumcised boys with a redundant or tight foreskin
Girls with tight labial adhesions,
Children of either sex with clinically significant periurethral irritation
Culture of a urine specimen from a sterile bag attached to the perineal area has a false-positive rate too high to be suitable for diagnosing UTI; however, a negative culture is strong evidence that UTI is absent. [3]
Complete blood count (CBC) and basic metabolic panel (for children with a presumptive diagnosis of pyelonephritis)
Blood cultures (in patients with suspected bacteremia or urosepsis)
Renal function studies (ie, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen [BUN] levels)
Electrolyte levels
Imaging studies are not indicated for infants and children with a first episode of cystitis or for those with a first febrile UTI who meet the following criteria:
Assured follow-up
Prompt response to treatment (afebrile within 72 h)
A normal voiding pattern (no dribbling)
No abdominal mass
If imaging studies of the urinary tract are warranted, they should not be obtained until the diagnosis of UTI is confirmed. Indications for renal and bladder ultrasonography are as follows:
Febrile UTI in infants aged 2-24 months [3]
Delayed or unsatisfactory response to treatment of a first febrile UTI
An abdominal mass or abnormal voiding (dribbling of urine)
Recurrence of febrile UTI after a satisfactory response to treatment
Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) may be indicated after a first febrile UTI if renal and bladder ultrasonography reveal hydronephrosis, scarring, obstructive uropathy, or masses or if complex medical conditions are associated with the UTI. VCUG is recommended after a second episode of febrile UTI. [3]
See Workup for more detail.
Patients with a nontoxic appearance may be treated with oral fluids and antibiotics. Outpatient care is reasonable if the following criteria are met:
A caregiver with appropriate observational and coping skills
Telephone and automobile at home
The ability to return to the hospital within 24 hours
The patient has no need for oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, or other inpatient measures
Hospitalization is necessary for the following patients with UTI:
Patients who are toxemic or septic
Patients with signs of urinary obstruction or significant underlying disease
Patients who are unable to tolerate adequate oral fluids or medications
Infants younger than 2 months with febrile UTI (presumed pyelonephritis)
All infants younger than 1 month with suspected UTI, even if not febrile
Treat febrile UTI as pyelonephritis, and consider parenteral antibiotics and hospital admission for these patients.
Antibiotics for parenteral treatment are as follows:
Ceftriaxone
Cefotaxime
Gentamicin
Patients aged 2 months to 2 years with a first febrile UTI
If clinical findings indicate that immediate antibiotic therapy is indicated, a urine specimen for urinalysis and culture should be obtained before treatment is started. Common choices for empiric oral treatment are as follows:
A second- or third-generation cephalosporin
Amoxicillin/clavulanate, or sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMZ-TMP)
Antibiotic therapy is started on the basis of clinical history and urinalysis results before the diagnosis is documented
A 4-day course of an oral antibiotic agent is recommended for the treatment of cystitis
Nitrofurantoin can be given for 7 days or for 3 days after obtaining sterile urine
If the clinical response is not satisfactory after 2-3 days, alter therapy on the basis of antibiotic susceptibility
Symptomatic relief for dysuria consists of increasing fluid intake (to enhance urine dilution and output), acetaminophen, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
If voiding symptoms are severe and persistent, add phenazopyridine hydrochloride (Pyridium) for a maximum of 48 hours
See Treatment and Medication for more detail.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common pediatric infections. It distresses the child, concerns the parents, and may cause permanent kidney damage. Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of a febrile UTI may prevent acute discomfort and, in patients with recurrent infections, kidney damage. (See Presentation, DDx, Treatment, and Medication.)
The 2 broad clinical categories of UTI are pyelonephritis (upper UTI) and cystitis (lower UTI). The most common causative organisms are bowel flora, typically gram-negative rods. Escherichia coli is the organism that is most commonly isolated from pediatric patients with UTIs. However, other organisms that gain access to the urinary tract may cause infection, including fungi (Candida species) and viruses. (See Pathophysiology and Etiology.)
The febrile infant or child who has no other site of infection to explain the fever, even in the absence of systemic symptoms, should be assessed for the likelihood of pyelonephritis (upper UTI). Most episodes of UTI during the first year of life are pyelonephritis. (See DDx.)
Febrile infants younger than 2 months constitute an important subset of children who may present with fever without a localizing source. The workup of fever in these infants should always include evaluation for UTI. The chart below details a treatment approach for febrile infants younger than 3 months who have a temperature higher than 38°C. (See Presentation and DDx.)
Children with UTIs who have voiding symptoms or dysuria, little or no fever, and no systemic symptoms, likely have cystitis. After age 2 years, UTI in the form of cystitis is common among girls.
In rare instances, UTI results in recognition of an important underlying structural or neurogenic abnormality of the urinary tract. [4] Some clinically significant urinary tract abnormalities may be identified using intrauterine ultrasonography. After birth, children with such abnormalities may incur additional kidney damage as a result of postnatal infection, but UTI is not the major cause of the kidney impairment.
Go to Urinary Tract Infection in Males and Cystitis in Females for complete information on these topics. For patient education information, see Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and Bladder Control Problems.
Typically, UTIs develop when uropathogens that have colonized the periurethral area ascend to the bladder via the urethra. From the bladder, pathogens can spread up the urinary tract to the kidneys (pyelonephritis) and possibly to the bloodstream (bacteremia). Poor containment of infection, including bacteremia, is more often seen in infants younger than 2 months.
Urine in the proximal urethra and urinary bladder is normally sterile. Entry of bacteria into the urinary bladder can result from turbulent flow during normal voiding, voiding dysfunction, or catheterization. In addition, sexual intercourse or genital manipulation may foster the entry of bacteria into the urinary bladder. More rarely, the urinary tract may be colonized during systemic bacteremia (sepsis); this usually happens in infancy. Pathogens can also infect the urinary tract through direct spread via the fecal-perineal-urethral route.
Bacterial infections are the most common cause of UTI, with E coli being the most frequent pathogen, causing 75-90% of UTIs. Other bacterial sources of UTI include the following:
Klebsiella species
Proteus species
Enterococcus species
Staphylococcus saprophyticus, especially among female adolescents and sexually active females
Streptococcus group B, especially among neonates
Fungi (Candida species) may also cause UTIs, especially after instrumentation of the urinary tract. Adenovirus is a rare cause of UTI and may cause hemorrhagic cystitis.
Genetic factors
Deregulation of candidate genes may predispose patients to recurrent UTIs. The identification of a genetic component may allow the identification of at-risk individuals and, therefore, prediction of the risk of recurrent UTI in their offspring. [5] Genes that are possibly responsible for susceptibility to recurrent UTIs include HSPA1B, CXCR1, CXCR2, TLR2, TLR4, and TGFβ1. [5]
Susceptibility to UTI may be increased by any of the following factors:
Alteration of the periurethral flora by antibiotic therapy
Anatomic anomaly
Bowel and bladder dysfunction
Children who receive antibiotics (eg, amoxicillin, cephalexin) for other infections are at increased risk for UTI. These agents may alter gastrointestinal (GI) and periurethral flora, disturbing the urinary tract's natural defense against colonization by pathogenic bacteria.
Prolonged retention of urine may permit incubation of bacteria in the bladder. Voiding dysfunction is not usually encountered in a child without neurogenic or anatomic abnormality of the bladder until the child is in the process of achieving daytime urinary control.
A child with uninhibited detrusor contractions may attempt to prevent incontinence during a detrusor contraction by increasing outlet resistance. This may be achieved by using various posturing maneuvers, such as tightening of the pelvic-floor muscles, applying direct pressure to the urethra with the hands, or performing the Vincent curtsy, which consists squatting on the floor and pressing the heel of one foot against the urethra. As a result, bacteria-laden urine in the distal urethra may be milked back into the urinary bladder (urethrovesical reflux).
Constipation, with the rectum chronically dilated by feces, is an important cause of voiding dysfunction. Neurogenic or anatomic abnormalities of the urinary bladder may also cause voiding dysfunction.
Voiding dysfunction should be evaluated and managed appropriately. Surgical correction of underlying anatomic disorders may be indicated in select cases. For more information, see Pediatric Vesicoureteral Reflux.
Circumcision and UTI
For male infants, neonatal circumcision substantially decreases the risk of UTI. Schoen et al found that during the first year of life, the rate of UTI was 2.15% in uncircumcised boys, versus 0.22% in circumcised boys. [6] Risk is particularly high during the first 3 months of life; Schaikh et al reported that in febrile boys younger than 3 months, UTI was present in 2.4% of circumcised boys and in 20.1% of uncircumcised boys. [7]
The incidence of UTIs varies based on age, sex, and gender. Overall, UTIs are estimated to affect 2.4-2.8% of children in the United States annually.
Occurrences of first-time, symptomatic UTIs are highest in boys and girls during the first year of life and markedly decrease after that. Shaikh et al found that the overall prevalence of UTI in infants presenting with fever was 7.0%. [6] By age, the rates in girls were as follows:
0-3 months - 7.5%
6-12 months - 8.3%
>12 months - 2.1%
In febrile boys less than 3 months of age, 2.4% of circumcised boys and 20.1% of uncircumcised boys had a UTI. [6]
Sex- and race-related demographics
During the first few months of life, the incidence of UTI in boys exceeds that in girls. By the end of the first year and thereafter, first-time and recurrent UTIs are most common in girls. The incidence of UTI in children aged 1-2 years is 8.1% in girls and 1.9% in boys.
Studies from Sweden have indicated that at least 3% of girls and 1% of boys have a symptomatic UTI by age 11 years. Other data, however, have suggested that 8% of girls have a symptomatic UTI during childhood and that the incidence of a first-time UTI in boys older than 2 years is probably less than 0.5%. In sexually active teenage girls, the incidence of UTIs approaches 10%.
In studies by Hoberman et al, the prevalence of febrile UTIs in white infants exceeded that in black infants. [8] These investigators found that among white female infants younger than 1 year who had a temperature of 39°C or more and were seen in an emergency department, 17% had UTI.
Mortality related to UTI is exceedingly rare in otherwise healthy children in developed countries.
Cystitis may cause voiding symptoms and require antibiotics, but it is not associated with long-term, deleterious kidney damage. The voiding symptoms are usually transient, clearing within 24-48 hours of effective treatment.
Morbidity associated with pyelonephritis is characterized by systemic symptoms, such as fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, and dehydration. Bacteremia and clinical sepsis may occur. [9]
Children with pyelonephritis may develop focal inflammation of the kidney (focal pyelonephritis) or renal abscess. Any inflammation of the renal parenchyma may lead to scar formation. Approximately 10-30% of children with UTI develop some renal scarring; however, the degree of scarring required for the development of long-term sequelae is unknown.
Long-term complications of pyelonephritis are hypertension, impaired renal function, and end-stage renal disease.
Dehydration is the most common acute complication of UTI in the pediatric population. Intravenous fluid replacement is necessary in more severe cases.
In developed countries, kidney damage with long-term complications as a consequence of UTI has become less common than it was in the early 20th century, when pyelonephritis was a frequent cause of hypertension and end-stage renal disease in young women. This change is probably a result of improved overall healthcare and close follow-up of children after an episode of pyelonephritis. Currently, these complications are most commonly encountered in infants with congenital renal damage. [10, 11]

Suprapubic aspiration
If a UTI is present, bacteria are likely to be proliferating in bladder urine with growth of any organism except 2000-3000 CFU/mL coagulase-negative staphylococci.
Catheterization in a girl or midstream, clean-void collection in a circumcised boy
Febrile infants and children with UTI usually have >50,000 CFU/mL of a single urinary pathogen; however, UTI may be present with 10,000-50,000 CFU/mL of a single organism.*
Midstream, clean-void collection in a girl or uncircumcised boy
UTI is indicated when >100,000 CFU/mL of a single urinary pathogen is present in a symptomatic patient. Pyuria usually present. A UTI may be present with 10,000-50,000 CFU/mL of a single bacterium.*

If the patient is asymptomatic, bacterial growth is usually >100,000 CFU/mL of the same organism on different days. If pyuria is absent, this result probably indicates colonization rather than infection.
*Patients with urinary frequency (ie, decreased bladder incubation time) are those most likely to have bacteria proliferating in the urinary bladder in the presence of low colony counts.

Lorenzo Romar named head coach at Pepperdine
By: Erica Weston
Associate basketball head coach, Lorenzo Romar, has been named the new head coach for Pepperdine basketball.
It's a return to the Waves for Romar, where he started his head coaching career from 1996-97.
We are excited to announce Lorenzo Romar as the new head coach of @PeppBasketball! 🏀🌊 @CoachRomar will return to Pepperdine at the conclusion of @UofA's season. He previously coached the Waves from 1996-1999. Learn more about his remarkable career: https://t.co/AWq5nBFD7e pic.twitter.com/fFKPk4bbaG
— Pepperdine University (@pepperdine) March 12, 2018
Romar started as an assistant at UCLA, where he was part of the National Championship Bruins team in 1995. His stop in Tucson was temporary, after being let go from Washington after 15 seasons as head coach for the Huskies.
"We're elated for Lorenzo", Sean Miller said at a press conference Monday afternoon. "We didn't know how long he would be here for. Clearly, if he had an opportunity as good as Pepperdine, it's something that he asked to take. We're excited for him, he's done an excellent job in the year that he's been with us and he's really helped guide the ship. We're going to miss him, but our season's not over yet and I think he knows that as well so we're looking forward to the NCAA tournament."
Romar coached in Miller's absence at Oregon on February 24th, a day after ESPN released a report alleging Miller discussed a 6-figure payment to retain Deandre Ayton. The Wildcats lost that game, 98-93.
Romar will no doubt have success as a strong recruiter, bringing talent to one of the nation's most beautiful campuses.


Everyone is experimenting with Blockchain today, but Blockchain in a silo is not a 'BlockCHAIN' at all. The power of Blockchain lies in inclusion. More the number of assets in a Blockchain, stronger it becomes. The fact is, that Blockchain is here and it's here to stay. We need to collaborate to capitalize on the potential advantages of Blockchain fully.
Of all the advantages of Blockchain, interoperability is definitely at the top – interoperability between Blockchains of same kind, interoperability between Blockchains of different kinds and most importantly, interoperability between Blockchains and legacy systems.
We need to explore the potential of Blockchain as a platform enabling interoperability to exploit its full potential. Blockchain without interoperability is like emails from Hotmail and Gmail not talking to each other. Wouldn't it be a very limited use of the potential of emails?
One common complaint that we hear as a challenge of Blockchain technology, whenever we discuss use cases for POCs, is that of interoperability. Many use cases do not move forward because of challenges with interoperability. Strange, isn't it? When interoperability is supposed to be one of its key advantages? Though the challenge in hand seems to be a technical challenge, it's actually a business one. Technical challenges can be overcome. There are enough and more smart technical minds to address those challenges. As always, business needs to demand and drive, and technology will follow and enable.
What is needed for interoperability is meeting of minds from across the industries and setting guidelines and standards. Here comes the need for consortiums across industries. While we are seeing various consortiums, which are within an industry, like R3 or Ripple for Banking, it's not enough. This will definitely enable Blockchain usage in certain areas like Payments, but it will not exploit the full potential of Blockchain. It takes a lot to bring 100+ banks into one platform.
However we also need cross-industry and cross-geo consortiums to help guide cross-industry and cross-geo Blockchains.
The Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) is one such example. This consortium was formed in May 2017 in order to promote interoperability and standards for Blockchain based identity systems. Hyperledger, IBM, Microsoft and Accenture have all signed up for DIF, besides many others. All of these big players have been part of other consortiums or having their own in order to enable interoperability and standards for Blockchain. But the fact that these competitors are coming together to collaborate is a huge step forward for the success of Blockchain as a business platform. They are joining hands to design, develop and nurture the technology as a community, because they see value in interoperability and hence value in collaborating to enable that. They are all trying to move away from disconnected legacy systems that cause silos and thus inefficiency. They are collaborating with the goal to make the business processes more efficient without taking away their competitive edge.
While we do need the regulators to step in to set standards across industries as opposed to the current siloed regulatory scenario, to fast-track the evolution and adoption of Blockchain, it will be too much to expect that regulators will step in and drive the same. The regulators will step in once the business demands it enough. Technology evolution or business process reengineering need not wait for regulators to come together and set standards. Traditionally we have seen consortiums driving these changes and the regulations follow. For example, in 1973, 239 banks from 15 countries came together to solve a common problem of how to enable cross-border payments and SWIFT protocol was born. The Regulators stepped in thereafter to develop standards. Blockchain will not be any exception to this!
I am very hopeful that in the next 12 to 15 months we will see the standards evolving as a result of these consortiums and many of these consortiums joining hands together and interoperability will evolve as a result.

AFCON 2021: What To Expect As Super Eagles Face Sudan In Crucial Group Game ~Omonaijablog
January 15, 2022 by Leave a Comment
While the football world is yet to get over the Super Eagles' historic win against Africa's most successful national team in their AFCON 2021 opener on Tuesday, Nigeria would be looking forward to raising the bar of performance higher by securing more points to book a place in the next round.
Super Eagles will face the Falcons of Jediane – Sudan this evening in a crucial match that will decide the fate of other teams in Group D. African streaming service, Showmax, is streaming the game live and in HD, courtesy of SuperSport.
With an extraordinary performance that caged the Pharaohs, Super Eagles made a resounding statement that caught the eye of the football world and gave confidence to many other teams who previously dreaded Egypt as AFCON 2021 favourite.
Before Tuesday's defeat to Nigeria, the Pharaohs of Egypt had never lost an AFCON group match since 2004 when they lost 2-1 to Algeria. After winning the tournament seven times, the Pharaohs are the only team on the continent with the highest number of AFCON trophies on their shelf.
Pundits are hoping that the Super Eagles will sustain their potent display seen in the first group game as they move on in the tournament.
The Falcons of Jediane have one point following a goalless draw against Guinea-Bissau, while Nigeria holds on proudly to three points from Egypt as they sit atop Group D.
Burhan Tia, Sudan's coach, believes today's match "will not be easy, as well as facing Egypt, but these are matches that we have put in our minds and our program before the tournament."
Expect Sudan to give their all, and Egypt will not be treating Guinea-Bissau with kids gloves.
Another three points from Sudan will land the Super Eagles in the next round of AFCON as they continue their quest for another AFCON glory after winning their last trophy in 2013 under coach Stephen Keshi, the first Nigerian and one of the few Africans to win the AFCON as a player and a coach.
Attention is also on Augustine Eguaveon, and pundits are rooting for him to also write his name in the history books as one of the former players who won AFCON as a coach. Before then he may need to work on his team's attack.
There has been some criticism of the Super Eagles' failure to utilise many scoring chances against Egypt. Eguavoen, in his pre-match briefing, says he believes that "it is important not to build a team on just one individual who will be responsible for scoring the goals. We all try to assist one another. If you are not in a good position, assist your teammate because we all take the glory at the end of the day."
The Nigeria vs Sudan match is a crucial match football lovers cannot afford to miss, and DStv has made access to the game easier and seamless. It will be broadcast live on SuperSport on DStv and live on Showmax Pro for viewers. DStv Yanga, Confam and Compact subscribers can take advantage of the Step Up offer. With the Step Up offer, DStv customers who upgrade or reconnect on the next package will get a further boost to an even higher package within 48 hours at no additional cost.

Carole A. Ruck, aka Martha, Mom, Mother, Grams, Grammy, Shortstuff, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones on Wednesday, April 3rd at Southern Maine Healthcare. She was born to Jean Paul "JP" and Barbara (Anderson) Cote on January 16, 1946 in Saco, Maine. She married the love of her life Norman Ruck on January 30, 1965 at the age of 19. In 1966, they built their home where they've lived ever since.
She and Norman, with the help of their 2 sons Wade and Lance, built a successful excavating and paving business known as Norman Ruck Inc. She was the force that kept the business together.
Carole's energy was focused on creating a welcoming and loving household for her family. She was an excellent cook and made a mean apple bread and a pork pie that could have won awards. She and Norman enjoyed spending time with friends, going on camping trips, taking Sunday joy rides, and dining out.
She was preceded in death by her parents Jean Paul and Barbara Cote, two of her two sisters Lorraine Cote and Dorothy Francoeur and two of her brothers Peter Cote and Harold Lavoie.
She is survived by her husband of 54 years Norman Ruck, her two sons Wade Ruck and his companion Darlene Gregoire, and Lance Ruck. She also leaves behind her brothers Joseph Cote of Skowhegan, Nelson Lavoie and wife Joan of Biddeford, Richard Lavoie and wife Judy of Alfred, and Russell Lavoie of Old Orchard Beach; her sisters Bernadette Tanguay and husband Dexter Fields of Cumberland, Therese Bennett of Hartford, Nancy Leach of Alfred, Helen Leach and husband Bradley of Alfred, Velma Lavoie of Biddeford, and her sister in-law Margie Cote of Florida; two grandchildren Karissa Ruck and her fiancé Caleb Lavoie, and Cody Ruck, two grand-dogs Ceaser and Gus Ruck, and her great grandson Korbin Lavoie, as well as many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Southern Maine Healthcare for their continuous help throughout this difficult time. We are especially grateful to Cheryl Markellos for her extra efforts to comfort Carole in her final days.

It was a mixed weekend for the team in the MCE British Superbike Championship with Ben Wilson finishing in 17th and 15th place respectively in the two superbike races. In the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship, Glenn Irwin gained two seventh places respectively with Luke Hedger finishing both races in 10th place.
During the Superbike practice and qualifying sessions Ben struggled with set up and as at earlier meetings having no previous data is proving to be a challenge for the team. Unfortunately there was an issue with the shock just before race one and a mis-fire occurred during race two.
Although only qualifying in 25th place Ben got a fantastic start finally to secure 17th place moving him up the grid for race two to 17th place. After several delays caused by an accident and changing weather conditions race two finally got underway with Ben having a good start before the mis-fire occurred with him having to settle for 15th place.
For the Supersport races Glenn Irwin, now almost recovered from his ankle injury, put in some strong lap times at a track that he has struggled with riding faster than he has in the past. A positive weekend for him with solid points gained.
It was good to see the return of Luke Hedger back on track after his lay-of because of injury. He rode well in both races to gain more points for his Championship.
Team Manager Michael de Bidaph - "It was another difficult weekend for us in the Superbike class with Ben and really hoped our luck might take a turn for the better. It has been a struggle from start to finish wirth set-up problems. We found a problem with the rear shock just before race one. Once this was sorted Ben's lap times really improved raising him higher on the grid for race two only to suffer with a mis-fire. We thought with the rain it might help Ben but this small problem cost us several places.
It was a good weekend for the Supersport riders this weekend and both have done really well. Glenn was racing at a circuit he does not feel confident on securing two very solid results and achieving some good race times. Luke was a welcome return and to come back and get two strong results from such a long injury was great and we are looking to move them forward at Thruxton"

Q: Run Macro in Excel AFTER opening a Workbook I want to run a Macro right after the Workbook opened as for some reasons the Macro requires the workbook to be opened before. Workbook_activate is not an option as the macro opens other files and therefore would result in an infinite loop.
The macro is working perfectly fine if i run it from the VBA-Editor, but it always throws

Runtime Error 1004: The method Cells for the Object _Global has
  failed

when i actually open the workbook.
This is the code im using:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
  Call updateColumn("sheet", "Tabelle2", 1, 2)
  Call updateColumn("sheet", "Tabelle2", 5, 1)
  Call updateSG("Tabelle2", "sheet")
End Sub

updateColumn updates the given column by opening another excel file and synchronizing the data from there. It works fine so i won't go into it here.
The Problem is always in the updateSG sub. It does basically the same as updateColumn, but it also iterates over the other file and sorts the required entries into corresponding columns.
Private Sub updateSG(sheetname As String, adbSheet As String)
Dim adb As Workbook
Dim report As Workbook
Dim row As Range
Dim fak As String
Dim N As Long
Dim rownumber As Long
Set report = Workbooks("thisfile.xlsm")
Set adb = Workbooks.Open(report.Path & "/ADB.xls")
rownumber = Cells(adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row
For i = 2 To rownumber
    fak = adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Cells(i, 1).Value
    Select Case fak
        Case "E"
            N = report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).row + 1
            report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(N, "C").Value = adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Cells(i, 3)
        Case "G"
            N = report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).row + 1
            report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(N, "D").Value = adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Cells(i, 3)
        Case "I"
            N = report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).row + 1
            report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(N, "E").Value = adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Cells(i, 3)
        Case "M"
            N = report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).row + 1
            report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(N, "F").Value = adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Cells(i, 3)
        Case "P"
           N = report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).row + 1
            report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(N, "G").Value = adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Cells(i, 3)
        Case "T"
            N = report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).row + 1
            report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(N, "H").Value = adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Cells(i, 3)
    End Select
Next
For i = 3 To 8
    report.Sheets(sheetname).Columns(i).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1)
Next
Workbooks("ADB.xls").Close SaveChanges:=False

End Sub
The issue is in the Line
rownumber = Cells(adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row

and the lines from the select case going as
N = report.Sheets(sheetname).Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).row + 1

These lines basically count the elements in a Column. Again, it works perfectly if i run it while the Workbook is open, but always throws the error when i actually open the file.
I hope someone here can help me.
Kind regards
Michael

A: Cells is not qualified to a specific workbook or worksheet. As such, it falls back to the global Cells which defaults to using the Cells object of whatever worksheet is Active. Failing to scope your objects properly is like the #1 cause of 1004 errors. See this
Change this:
Set adb = Workbooks.Open(report.Path & "/ADB.xls")
rownumber = Cells(adb.Sheets(adbSheet).Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row

Because in the above Cells statement, Cells refers to ActiveSheet (by default), which may or may not be the adbSheet name. If that sheet isn't active, error is expected.
To this, in order to ensure you've qualified Cells to the adb workbook object and adbSheet worksheet.
Set adb = Workbooks.Open(report.Path & "/ADB.xls")
With adb.Sheets(adbSheet)
    rowNumber = .Cells(.Rows.Count,1).End(xlUp).Row
End With

Q: Take a list, sort by popularity and then remove duplicates
Possible Duplicate:
In python, how do I take the highest occurrence of something in a list, and sort it that way?

Hi all,
I am looking for an easy way to sort a list by popularity and then remove duplicate elements.
For example, given a list:
[8, 8, 1, 1, 5, 8, 9]

I would then end up with a list like the following:
[8, 1, 5, 9]

A: >>> lst = [1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 1, 9]
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> c = Counter(lst)
>>> [i for i, j in c.most_common()]
[1, 3, 5, 9]

see collections.Counter docs for the links to legacy versions-compatible implementations.

A: @SilentGhost has an excellent solution for Python 2.7+. A relatively simple solution for 2.6 and older:
a = [8, 8, 1, 1, 5, 8, 9]

popularity = sorted(set(a), key=lambda x: -a.count(x))

[8, 1, 5, 9]

This solution is, however, expensive (because of count).
Here another, better solution with temporary dictionary:
a = [8, 8, 1, 1, 5, 8, 9]
d = {}
for i in a:
    d[i] = d.get(i, 0) + 1
popularity = sorted(d, key=d.get, reverse=True)
