What OB-GYNs want you to know about the birth control that lives in your arm
Nexplanon is more than 99% effective and lasts for up to three years.
Credit: Reviewed / Getty Images / flocu / celsopupo
Written by Esther Bell
From birth control pills to IUDs to condoms, you have many choices of safe and highly effective forms of pregnancy prevention available. One you may be less familiar with: the birth control implant, Nexplanon. When inserted beneath the skin of the upper arm, this match-sized device is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy for up to three years. But how does it work and what are its side effects? We dug into the details of arm-based pregnancy protection, and why you might prefer it.
What is a birth control implant?
Credit: Reviewed / Getty Images / bortonia / Inna Miller
The implant goes on the bicep.
Nexplanon is a thin plastic rod, about the size of a match, that contains a synthetic version of the pregnancy hormone progesterone. When inserted under the skin of your upper arm, it slowly releases the hormone, effectively protecting you from pregnancy for years without any maintenance.
Older brands include Implanon, Norplant, and Jadelle, but they all work in similar ways. Nexplanon replaced Implanon, which is no longer being manufactured because of its tendency to move after insertion, and the risk of being planted too deeply (ouch!). Nexplanon comes in a preloaded applicator to minimize insertion errors.
How does Nexplanon work?
Like other forms of birth control that use hormones, such as a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) or the pill, Nexplanon releases progestin into the body to prevent pregnancy. Progestin works by thickening cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg. Progestin can also prevent ovulation, or the release of an egg from the ovaries. Without an egg to fertilize, you can't get pregnant.
How effective is Nexplanon?
The implant is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. After the implant is placed in your arm, you can leave it there until it expires, which means it can't be forgotten or used incorrectly, making it highly effective. But don't forget about it too long: After three years, Nexplanon starts losing its efficacy, so you'll want to follow up with your doctor a few months before its expiration date to make sure it gets removed or replaced on time.
If you get the implant inserted during the first five days of your period, you're protected immediately. But if you get it placed after that timeframe, it takes a week to start working. You'll want to use a backup method of birth control during those seven days, such as condoms or spermicide.
How long does Nexplanon last?
Nexplanon is currently approved to be effective for three years, but research is underway to determine its efficacy up to five years after insertion. If you're unsure about when you should have yours replaced, consult your doctor.
What are the implant's potential side effects?
Apart from soreness and possibly swelling for a few days after insertion, Nexplanon can cause spotting and irregular periods, especially during the first six months. Some people experience heavier periods after getting the implant, but most report lighter periods, including less cramping and PMS. And one in three people with the implant stop getting their period entirely, according to Planned Parenthood.
"As long as you can tolerate this potential side effect [of irregular periods], the implant is a great option for most women,"" says Dr. Carolyn Ross, MD, OB-GYN, and medical advisor for Stix, a vaginal health company.
Like other forms of birth control, additional potential side effects may include headaches, breast tenderness, or weight gain. Other more serious risks include ovarian cysts or an injection site infection. It's also possible that the implant could move or migrate after insertion, which is why Nexplanon contains a small amount of barium sulfate, which makes it radiopaque, or visible via MRI, so your healthcare provider will be able to check if it has accidentally moved. Scar tissue around the implant could also make removal more difficult.
How much does Nexplanon cost?
Getting the birth control implant inserted costs between $0 and $1,300, and removal can be an additional $300 if you don't have insurance. However, most insurance plans cover all forms of birth control, so you might be able to get Nexplanon for free. If you don't have insurance, you can still get the implant at low- or no-cost through clinics like Planned Parenthood.
What do the insertion and removal procedures feel like?
Credit: Reviewed / Getty Images / celsopupo
It may sting a little.
Before getting the implant inserted, your doctor or nurse will give you a shot to numb the tricep of your non-dominant arm. They will then use a special tool to inject the implant under the skin. Most people feel a pinch with the numbing shot but don't feel the actual insertion. After the implant is placed and the numbing shot wears off, your arm will likely feel sore for a day or two. You'll wear a pressure bandage for 24 hours and switch to a small bandage for three to five days following the procedure. Your arm may feel tender, swollen, or bruised for the next few days.
To remove the implant, your doctor or nurse will start by numbing your arm. They will then make a small incision, 3 to 4 inches long, to access and remove the implant. It's unlikely the removal will leave a scar, but possible. Similar to insertion, you may experience tenderness, swelling, or bruising at the removal site. Your doctor will also provide aftercare instructions to keep the site clean while it heals.
As with most other forms of birth control, your ability to become pregnant returns almost immediately after removal; Nexplanon says it takes about a week for this to happen. Be sure to use other contraception if you don't want to become pregnant.

Following our 2017 graphic featuring all Persona video game sales on dedicated platforms in Japan, we've updated the graphic to reflect Persona game sales data in Japan as of January 2019.
The main updates this time are Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight (released on May 24, 2018) and Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth (released on November 29, 2018).
All sales data is from the Famitsu sales tracker, which does not include digital sales numbers.
The data for P3D and P5D is combined and includes the limited edition releases, as the LE bundles included both titles and it would be difficult to separate them from their individual releases.
Persona 5 is the top selling mainline release, with approximately 582K sales.
Persona 4 Golden is the top selling remake, with approximately 345K sales.
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is the top selling spin-off, with approximately 267K sales.
The Sega Sammy annual report 2018 indicated that the Persona series has sold a total of 9.3 million units (in packaged and digital sales) worldwide since the series' debut in 1996.
With overall physical Persona game sales in Japan consisting of over 4 million copies, Persona game sales outside of Japan account for approximately 57% of total series sales.
The latest Persona game released in Japan was Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth for the Nintendo 3DS on November 29, 2018. Various Persona projects have been teased for a P5R reveal in March 2019.


I was recently introduced to the Swedish brand ELLOS (size 10-34) and am definitely feeling the Scandinavian take on fashion. This winter season the brand has an assortment of staples from leather leggings to faux fur and cozy sweaters. When ELLOS sent me this super cute stretch jumpsuit and faux fur I did not know I was going to love it so much. As soon as I put on the super comfortable metallic number I knew that the brand had some quality pieces to stunt on the town. Since they are based in Sweden the size conversion is a little tricky so I am typically a size 18 and got a 1x (22/24) in the jumpsuit and a 2x (26/28) in the jacket. Perfect for an upcoming holiday try a sparkly and a faux fur to have fun with your look this season!

Q: Android apk download using Webdriver I was trying to download the android apk file located at Hockey App share point but could only download a part of file not the complete file. Below is the code attached.
Below is the code that I have used to alter firefox configuration to handle the download pop-up
     FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
            profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);
            profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false);

            WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

Also, I tried using Content Type header("text/html; charset=utf-8") value  shown in the Network monitor of Firefox. But that didn't work as well.
Any other approach other than Selenium is also appreciated.

A: Why don't you use the api provided by hockey app. Its pretty easy .. you can get the build url from available versions and then download. I have written a script pretty straightforward.

A significant step in securing a stable rural medical workforce
A rural renaissance
It is great to see the Federal Government delivering on its commitment to increase the number of rural-based doctors in training.What we are experiencing right now in rural health can only be described as a rural renaissance. We have great leadership in our Rural Health Commissioner and now in our new Rural Health Minister making her mark and building on the great work of her predecessor.
More intern placements in general practice is great news for rural doctors and their communities. This is an essential step in securing the next generation of rural GPs by ensuring our trainees receive broad exposure through prioritising primary care and general practice. These programs really work as they provide trainees with that essential insight to community medicine.
Intern rotations in general practice
The Rural Junior Doctor Training Innovation Fund (RJDTIF) program provides primary care rotations for rurally based first-year interns. It builds on existing state and territory arrangements to provide primary care rotations in addition to hospital rotations.
Last week, Rural Health Minister, Senator the Hon Bridget McKenzie, announced a $1,304,967 Federal Government grant for the Murrumbidgee Local Health District to increase intern rotations throughout the region. I'm proud to be contributing with my practice in Wagga selected to participate and we will be rotating five interns a year through this program.
It was great to show Minister McKenzie around my practice and have a chance to discuss how to provide that valuable community exposure early. The Minister showed a deep understanding of what is required in placing policy priority on general practice. She shared my vision that every junior doctor should have a rotation in general practice as part of the first two to three years of training.
Quality training experience
In our practice, we have GP specialists, new fellows, GP registrars, interns and medical students working alongside nurses and allied health professionals. We aim to support the integration of vertical and horizontal teaching enhanced through a multidisciplinary team environment.
A strong teaching culture and established education networks also ensure we have the hospital and community partnerships to enhance exposure and demonstrate for our trainees the diversity of general practice. We've worked hard to build the required supportive infrastructure and systems to make this work which needless to say is also reliant on a solid business model.
Keeping them there
Targeted exposure strategies like these ensure trainees can develop the broad range of skills required. It provides essential rural exposure for interns to learn the complexities of delivering services in rural areas while in a supportive general practice setting.
My own experience with the PGPPP where I had 12 interns rotated in my practice really yielded results. From that cohort, about 70 per cent of them have chosen general practice as their training speciality. They loved the diversity and complexity general practice offered. It challenged them, kept them engaged and provided that important insight into the doctor-patient relationship.
A little on the policy journey
Addressing maldistribution has been dominant in the discussion at many Rural Health Stakeholder Roundtables in Canberra over recent years.
Certainly, greater exposure to general practice for junior doctors has been central to RACGP Rural advocacy around securing an integrated rural training pathway. Particularly in ensuring more emphasis on primary care and generalism early in medical education.
But really making generalism a foundation of junior medical training – a discussion made more difficult on the back of a defunded PGPPP. This was a significant policy obstacle when you consider that what we were pursuing was more of a supercharged PGPPP but specifically for rural areas.
We needed a solution that would boost the number of GPs as well as address the gap in the rural pathway by providing intern rotations in general practice and primary care. We knew there was a strong learner preference for rurally based internships. We also knew that potentially we had lost a cohort of potential rural GPs as the gap from the PGPPP hit hard and narrowed our opportunities.
A win for general practice
It certainly was a long policy process getting here. This is the why this program, which was the result of a long period of sustained advocacy, is such a significant win for general practice. It is clear much of the hard work over many years is starting to pay off particularly in rural health. This is a significant step forward in securing a stable medical workforce to address maldistribution.

Mr. Yaseen Khan is a well-known name in the fields of social work and philanthropy. He established Sundas Foundation in the year 1998 with the ambition to help reduce the menace of Thalassemia & Hemophilia from our society and to provide free of cost & quality patient care services. Apart from leading the overall operations of the Foundation, he works tirelessly to bring in corporate and governmental support for Sundas Foundation's Aid and development work, as well as the causes we represent.
Mr. Yaseen Khan started doing social work about 30 years ago, when he joined Fatimid Foundation as the head of blood management department. He noticed that patients suffering from Thalassemia & Hemophilia had to come from far-flung areas, which takes a very heavy toll over the health of already diseased patients. Keeping in view the miseries of the parents and patients, he decided to establish such a facility in Gujranwala. The facility was named after the name of a Thalassemia patient 'Sundas', therefore an organization by the name of Sundas Foundation came into being.
Keeping in view the ever-increasing number of Thalassemia patients, he also helped establish many other institutions to provide services to these patients including Noor Thalassemia Foundation, Jado Jehad Foundation, Lahore, Amna Hematological Services & Blood Bank Multan, and Pakistan Thalassemia Center, Islamabad.
Mr. Yasin also extended his expertise in establishing Pakistan Sweet Homes an institution for at least 4000 orphans, whose parents fell victim to terrorism, especially in K.P.K. and Baluchistan in 2011. He is also the President of Pakistan Civil Society, where he has helped fight for the rights of disadvantaged, neglected and marginalized people of our society.

For now, I take care of that in the semantic action.
Are there recommendations re detecting errors at parsing level vs at semantic action user code level?

California on fire
Climate change effects worsen
Josephine Rozzelle, Editor-in-chief
Cece Giarman
While the Camp Fire in Butte County made state history last month as the most destructive and deadliest fire to ever burn in California, scientists believe it is just one of the effects caused by shifts in Earth's climate.
An increase in wildfire frequency is one of many possible repercussions of climate change, according to the Fourth National Climate Assessment released last month.
"Climatic changes, including warmer springs, longer summer dry seasons, and drier soils and vegetation, have already lengthened the wildfire season and increased the frequency of large wildfires," according to the NCA assessment. The assessment estimates that climate change has doubled forest burned area in the western United States from 1984 to 2015.
"By warming areas, you're going to create weather and natural events that occur more frequently like tornadoes and hurricanes," biology teacher Denise Reitz said. "We're increasing all of those natural events by changing the environmental chemistry."
Of the 20 most destructive fires in California history, 14 fires occurred in the last 15 years, according to an updated list released by Cal Fire on Nov. 30.
At the top of the list is the Camp Fire, which burned 153,336 acres of land — over five times the size of San Francisco. Air quality in the Bay Area reached "Very unhealthy" levels in the mid-200s as a result of the Camp Fire, according to AIRNow.
"A lot of us don't really pay attention to climate change because sometimes it doesn't directly impact us, but it really impacted me when the Camp Fire happened," sophomore Linda Karti said. "I have allergies and asthma, so I couldn't really go outside."
Cal-Adapt Climate Projections for the Bay Area include a one to three-inch decline in annual rainfall and an increased average temperatures in January and July by two degrees and four degrees, respectively, by 2050.
The report also predicts sea levels could rise as much 66 inches by 2100 and that the number of acres susceptible to flooding could increase by 20 to 30 percent in most of the Bay Area.
Climate changes cause the destruction and alteration of many natural resources, making the price of food and other necessities from these limited resources increase. Because of this, poorer populations will feel the effects of climate change the most immediately and devastatingly, according to Reitz.
"It's going to always trickle down because most of us with means will be able to pay that extra price for a while," Reitz. said. "It's the people who already are living on the edge who, as the cost of the basic needs of life increase because of fewer resources available, are going to be the most affected."
Climate change's effect on the future population is also significant, according to senior Emma Hubbard, who started the Environmental Action and Awareness club.
"Climate change will affect our generation much more than any of the generations above us, so it's more important than ever that we are educated about what is going on in that we know all the facts," Hubbard said. "Once we are all aware of what's going on, then it's up to us to use our knowledge to make a difference."
Even if the emission of greenhouse gasses came to a complete halt, the effects of climate change will still affect future populations, according to NASA. The focus now is on mitigating the effects and adapting to them. "Conserve. Walk. Drive less, take public transportation," Reitz said. "The biggest thing that people could do is unplug what
they're not using. Even your chargers; if you have a charger and take your phone off and you don't unplug it, it's using electricity."
The most important action is recognizing the scientific proof behind climate change, according to Reitz.
"The first step is acknowledging the science. Climate change is man-made and it is a fact," Reitz said. "Until we have a government that will acknowledge that, yes, this science is true, we undermined science."

Q: Best way to communicate from Android app to Linux daemon I'm on writing an Android App thats purposed to hand commands (or better data) to a running c daemon on another machine in the same network (should also work from an external network sometimes in the future), but I have problems to choose the best way (or protocol) to do that.
Communicating with an sort of API (PHP, Python, etc.) isn't really a option (maybe I'm wrong with this) because that data is time critical, should be the fastest way thats possible, so I trying to avoid the overhead coming with http and another thing between the daemon and the APP. On the other hand the daemon should be accessible by an local running PHP script too (there should be an API in the future, so maybe the extra "layer" isn't that critical?).
But even if I choose the API solution, what's the best way then? Sockets, general IPC?
Any suggestions or experience with a similar situation would be helpful.

A: In your question you say that it's time critical but also that it's under the same network. As far as your application doesn't have any performance problems, you won't find any issue with times. It depends also on your daemon though.
I've worked with a lot of even remote daemons and TCP sockets have always been a good option, I've never had any limitations using them, just be sure to choose between implementing a Service if your socket will need to be alive all your app's life cycle, or an AsyncThread or Thread if it's for a limited task.
This is what I use, for instance:
socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port), timeout);

in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream(), "ISO-8859-1"));

American Gods as Wagnerian Noir
Neil Gaiman's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning epic, reviewed by Laura Miller in Salon
Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.
"As with most noir heroes, we meet Shadow, the protagonist of Neil Gaiman's hard-boiled fantasia, American Gods, after he's lost everything. Fresh from doing three years in prison for a stupid crime, he learns that his beloved wife, Laura, is dead, killed in a car accident with his best friend, the guy who'd promised him a job when he got out. To make matters worse, he has a series of unsettling encounters with a persistent older gentleman in a pale suit. Each meeting seems to be the result of extravagantly improbable chance, and the gentleman, who offers Shadow a job as his bodyguard, just won't take no for an answer.
"If you have a basic knowledge of mythology (or, for that matter, etymology, or, really, if you just have a good dictionary) and a vague idea of what American Gods is about, you can figure out this fellow's real identity pretty easily. Shadow, however, hasn't yet realized that he's stumbled into a kind of underground, a loosely connected network of burned-out, down-on-their-luck deities, the remnants of every god, godling or other supernatural being that any person who ever set foot in America has ever believed in.
"Shadow goes through some of the requisite hard-boiled experiences — getting kidnapped and beat up by the bad guys, discovering that his employer hasn't been exactly honest with him and so on — along with a few others that never crop up in Chandler and Hammett. A magical coin, given to him by a drunk claiming to be a leprechaun, a token that Shadow tosses into his wife's grave, has the unnerving result of reanimating her, and while she's unquestionably dead, she helps him out of a few scrapes. The characters in TV sitcoms drop their shtick and look out of the screen to address him directly, trying to talk him into joining the new gods. And then there are the weird dreams Shadow keeps having about a buffalo-headed figure who issues a series of cryptic pronouncements. But none of this is quite as creepy as Lakeside, the small Michigan town where he holes up for a while, a place that's just a little bit too good to be true.
"With its mythological echoes, puns, in jokes and other decodable references, American Gods will delight the sort of reader who likes to hunt for such things. The novel also has a big theme about the nature of America, which, most of the characters insist, is 'a bad land for gods,' supposedly because we get tired of them and they dwindle from insufficient worship. This, it must be said, doesn't jibe with reality, and perhaps that's because Gaiman is British. When Mr. Jacquel observes that 'Jesus does pretty good over here,' well, that's an understatement.
"But the slightly off skew of its take on the U.S. doesn't really matter much, for American Gods is a crackerjack suspense yarn with an ending that both surprises and makes perfect sense, as well as many passages of heady, imagistic writing. And for all that he's missed in the American propensity for religious fanaticism, Gaiman has exactly nailed the way we talk.
"Whatever its loftier intentions, American Gods is a juicily original melding of archaic myth with the slangy, gritty, melancholy voice of one of America's great cultural inventions — the hard-boiled detective; call it Wagnerian noir. The melting pot has produced stranger cocktails, but few that are as tasty."
–Laura Miller, Salon, June 22, 2001

"Sámi Blood", a Swedish/Norwegian/Danish co-production, is 2017 winner of the LUX Film Prize
European Parliament President Antonio Tajani announced in Strasbourg on Tuesday that "Sami Blood" has won the 11th LUX Film Prize.
President Tajani congratulated the three finalists, including the winning film crew, and said:

Mario Balotelli scored with a second-half header Saturday to give Italy a 2-1 win over England at the World Cup in Manaus, Brazil.
The Italy striker was left unmarked by Gary Cahill and nodded a cross from Antonio Candreva past goalkeeper Joe Hart in the 50th minute.
Claudio Marchisio opened the scoring for Italy, sending a long shot through a crowded area and past a diving Hart in the 35th. Daniel Sturridge equalized for England two minutes later, tapping in a cross from Wayne Rooney.
The win puts Italy in a strong position in Group D to qualify for the second round and leaves England with plenty to do in its remaining two matches.
Balotelli nearly scored another in first-half injury time, running deep into the area and enticing Hart to come off his line. Balotelli stopped, looked toward goal and sent a chip over the keeper's head, only for Phil Jagielka to clear by heading the ball over the bar.
England's attack-minded lineup made frequent runs into the Italy area and came close to scoring several times. The best of the chances came in the 24th when Danny Welbeck sent the ball across the front of the goal but Andrea Barzagli was able to slide in and tip the ball up in the air. Raheem Sterling, who had been running in from the left, jumped for the header but couldn't reach it, letting the ball go past him as he tumbled into the net.
Costa Rica 3, Uruguay 1: At Fortaleza, Costa Rica opened the tough Group D with an upset and earned its first World Cup win since 2002.
Uruguay star striker Luis Suarez, recovering from knee surgery, did not play but Uruguay went ahead when Edinson Cavani scored a penalty in the 24th minute. Costa Rica striker Joel Campbell drove in a ball headed down by Celso Borges in the 54th to beat goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
Oscar Duarte dived past the outstretched foot of Uruguay's Cristian Stuani to head in the winner, and Marcos Urena added the third with six minutes left, slotting the ball in from a tight angle.
Colombia 3, Greece 0: At Belo Horizonte, Colombia started its first World Cup campaign in 16 years in dazzling fashion. Left back Armero opened the scoring in the Group C match's fifth minute when his deflected shot rolled past Greece goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis. Striker Teofilo Gutierrez poked in the second goal from a deflected corner in the 58th, and James Rodriguez capped it off with a low shot in stoppage time after a slick backheel flick from Juan Cuadrado.
Ivory Coast 2, Japan 1: At Recife, Didier Drogba came off the bench to inspire Ivory Coast's comeback victory in a Group C match. Keisuke Honda's first-half goal gave Japan the lead. But Drogba, who had been carrying an injury, came on in the 62nd minute, and Wilfried Bony and Gervinho scored with headers two minutes apart. Both goals were set up by curling crosses from defender Serge Aurier.
U.S. opener looks pivotal: The skies may clear by Monday night, when the U.S. plays Ghana in its World Cup opener in Natal, Brazil. But no matter the weather, the formula for advancing to the second round is evident: Get at least a point from the first game.
"It's pretty much like a knockout game," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann told fans at a send-off pep rally last month in Times Square.
The Americans have never advanced from the group stage after failing to get at least a point in their opener. They reached the knockout phase after winning their first games in 1930 and 2002, and following draws in 1994 and 2010.
"Statistically, the chances of advancing go way up now if you're able to get a point or three from the first game," midfielder Michael Bradley said, "and so we've certainly made no secret of the fact that all the focus at this point is about Ghana, and making sure that we do everything we can so that on June 16 we step on the field and are ready to leave it all out there, knowing that a good result puts us in a really good spot."
Since the World Cup went to a 32-team format in 1998, 85 percent of teams that won their openers advanced to the group stage, according to STATS. That dropped to 58 percent for teams that drew their first games and to 9 percent for those that started with losses.
And the opponents figure to get only tougher for the U.S. After playing the 37th-ranked Black Stars, the Americans face No. 4 Portugal and close the first round against second-ranked Germany.
"If we can get the win, then we can refocus and go for Portugal," goalkeeper Tim Howard said. "There's no sense in looking beyond the first game. It's important, I think, that we can get three points in the bag."
Ghana knocked the Americans out of the last two World Cups with 2-1 victories, beating the U.S. in group play in 2006 and in the round of 16 four years ago. The Black Stars failed in their bid to become the first African semifinalist, losing to Uruguay in a shootout.
Only four Americans who appeared in the 2010 match are likely to start: Howard, Bradley and forwards Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore. Based on their lineup in Monday's 4-0 exhibition win over South Korea, Ghana could return defender Jonathan Mensah, midfielders Kwadwo Asamoah and Andre Ayew and forwards Kevin-Prince Boateng and Asamoah Gyan.
"It's a team full of individual talent with players, certain players that can hurt you in a split second if you're not alert, if you're not awake," Klinsmann said.
After training for four days in the temperate late-autumn weather of Sao Paulo, the Americans traveled northeast Friday to Natal, a tropical beach city just 400 miles from the equator. Mexico's 1-0 win over Cameroon in Natal on Friday was played in a downpour, and it rained again Saturday. The forecast called for more heavy rain Sunday and clearing Monday with the possibility of occasional showers.
"For us everything is ideal," Klinsmann said. "Whatever the temperature is, whatever the conditions are — rain, no rain, hot, humid, whatever — we are prepared."
Ecuador's tragedy: It's nearly a year since Ecuador was plunged into grief on the news that Christian Benitez, the national team's star striker and one of the country's favorite footballing sons, had died of heart failure. He was 27 and had, doctors say, a congenital heart ailment that went undetected in physical exams.
Qualification for the World Cup was dedicated to the man affectionately known as "Chucho," and he'll be in the thoughts of Ecuador's players, coaches and fans when the team opens Sunday against Switzerland. "We have a huge responsibility for him and his family to have a wonderful participation in this World Cup," Ecuador defender Fricson Erazo said Saturday.
"Christian is very much in our minds and our hearts and that has made us stronger. We are always calling each other, following how each of us is doing," Erazo said. "It was a life experience — now we have to transmit the camaraderie and brotherhood and take this in our stride."


Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will miss the League Cup game against rivals Manchester United after suffering a knock to the calf, manager Pep Guardiola said.
The 25-year-old sustained the injury during City's 1-1 Premier League draw with Southampton on Sunday.
However Guardiola was more optimistic about Vincent Kompany's availability for Wednesday's derby game after the Belgian international made his first league start since April against Southampton.
"Kevin, no way, he cannot play. Hopefully West Brom but he is doubt even for the weekend," Guardiola said on Tuesday.
"Pablo (Zabaleta) I think cannot play against United. Vincent (Kompany), I think he can, but I need to see training and regeneration."
Sunday's stalemate against Southampton marked City's fifth consecutive winless game of the season after a blistering start to the campaign with a 10-match winning run in all competitions.
The former Barcelona manager said he will ring in the changes against United at Old Trafford.
"We are going to rotate. Some are going to play. I need to see the players today in training and after we will decide the team," he added.
"We didn't win in five - young players need to play in a good environment. You have to protect them. We have other options."
Jose Mourinho will seek a quick response from his United side after a 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Chelsea in the league on Sunday, but Guardiola said he remained wary of United's threat.
"I always expect the best from United. They are strong team with quality. They are six points behind (in the Premier League table) - just two games.
"Derbies are always special. We are going to try to play seriously and try to win the game."

Chess vs Go – Strategic Strength Gamecraft and China
By Timothy J. Demy, James Giordano and Gina Granados Palmer
iStock photo
The great power nations at the beginning of this 21st century are engaged in multiple domains and dimensions of both collaboration and competition, and are utilizing a variety of strategies to exercise both strength and restraint.
A clear point of competition, growing strategic capability and global tension is China's iterative involvement, development and capability in bioscience and biotechnology. China utilizes broader strategic planning horizons than other nations and attempts to combine efforts from government, academic and commercial sectors — also known as the "triple helix" — to accomplish cooperation and centralization of national agendas.
Propelling such progress in China's rapid "bench to bedside — and beyond" capabilities is an expanding exercise of non-Western ethical guidelines that both broaden the scope of experimentation and provide justificatory bases for China's intellectual property laws. Through such means, China is affecting international bioscience and technology through research tourism, control of intellectual property, medical tourism, and influence in global scientific thought.
Strategizing for short- and long-term gain and the connections to chess and great power gamesmanship is not new to the groups involved in competition.
Games and rational bargaining theory have considered both quantitative and qualitative approaches to zero-sum and other game structures. To be sure, chess is a game of both near-term tactics and overarching strategy, and as such has been — and arguably can be — used as simile, metaphor and example of applicable modes of thought in larger-scale gamecraft — inclusive of nation-state competition in both local and global settings. But "a game" of chess, strategic as it may be, is timed, and although draws are possible — more frequently results in a clear winner, and thus a finite "end."
In contrast, the game of Go is one of achieving competitive advantage, with an understanding and anticipation of shifts in circumstance and "lead" in relative influence and superiority. But perhaps more importantly, it is a game of perdurability, rather than timed moves and a defined conclusion.
Thus, it is important to regard these games as reflective and representative of longstanding cultural mindsets that can contribute to and influence the ways that current and emerging resources — inclusive of biotechnology — are employed on the "playing board" of global hegemony.
A 2019 report to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on great power strategy and U.S. intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance, concluded that primary areas of strategic intensity for U.S.-China competition include not only sites and modes of geopolitical engagement, but also non-kinetic domains that exercise and leverage scientific, technologic and economic capability and co-dependence, to incur what the French philosopher Michel Foucault called "bio-power."
In light of this, it will be important to revisit, reassess, and perhaps revise the gamecraft of contending hegemonies on the current and future global stage. Clearly, tactical perspectives and focus, while necessary, are no longer sufficient. A strategic plan must be developed that is on par with the philosophical — and practical — orientation to current and future balancing of power, so as to enable the United States to remain at least apace with, if not in an advantageous position, to China's evolving competitive momentum.
Maintaining strategic strength in key areas of competition and potential conflict confirms U.S. and allied commitment to peace and stability.
Critical areas of national interest extend beyond defense, diplomacy and warfighting, to include biotechnology, communications, AI and complex intelligence systems, and competitive presence in the global economy as well as land, sea, air, space and cyber domains.
Gaining and sustaining long-term advantage is a matter of growth planning, longevity, strategic strength and stabilizing potential short-term conflicts while establishing cooperative trust, upholding values that foster international flourishing, and effectively implementing cross-national collaborative initiatives in critical areas of soft — not merely hard — power domains.
Perhaps continued chess maneuvering will be important to balance piece-specific skirmishes with an eye toward influencing certain domains relevant to fortifying strategic control of the global "game board," in anticipation of possible forced endgames.
But it will take an awareness of a Go board approach when seeking to establish territorial planning, and building technological, soft power, as well as hard power strongholds. The "tools of the trade" are likely to affect the "rules of the game." Increasing capabilities in AI are such that multi-domain, multi-dimensional and multi-national factors of competitive disposition and exercise of power can be forecasted, and inductive investments in influential domains of capability and power can be engaged and exploited to achieve strategically latent power longevity.
Thus, new rules will be emergent, and it may well be that "the game" itself evolves to be one that is distinct from chess or Go.
In this changing ecology, maintaining advantage will require effective and efficient national and cross-national cooperation, collaboration and creation of complex, networked solutions of people, technological systems and governments. An adherence to a singular, non-flexible pattern of play is unlikely to win — or even achieve advantage — in a highly evolving game.

Our Shrewsbury Office held a launch event for their new studio last night. The evening was a huge success as they welcomed colleagues, clients and friends to enjoy drinks and an informative BIM Workshop.
We have had an office in Shrewsbury for over 60 years and were at our previous home on St Mary's Street since the early 70s.
The studio is a Converted Armoury, built in 1806 then remodelled to be a bakery in 1922. In 1995 the building was refurbished with the first floor becoming office space and the ground floor changing to a pub/restaurant.
The stylish new space has been designed by AHR and provides an excellent, practical working environment for the team.


The California-based search engine giant, Google, has been accused of avoiding payment of the corporation tax on the money which it generates in UK through advertising.
The company reportedly siphons its UK revenue through its European headquarters in Ireland, which apparently levies less corporation tax than the UK.
Google Inc, which controls 90 percent of Britain's search engine market, generated £1.6 billion in advertising revenue last year of which £450 million corporation tax was never paid by the company.
It has been reported that according to the accounts filed by Google UK, advertising revenues generated from British customers were never mentioned in the account books as it was found that all the revenue was transferred to its Ireland subsidiary.
Interestingly, Google Inc's annual report indicates that out of the $21.5 billion generated in revenue, almost 14 percent came from the UK, making it the largest revenue field outside the US.
The accounts filed by the company mention that the 'principal activity' of its UK subsidiary is to provide marketing services for Google Ireland and perform research and development activities for its parent company in the US.
It seems that for a company which is built on the motive of 'Don't be evil', this tax-evasion controversy is a huge blow to its reputation.
That's nasty; depriving the economy of a whopping £450 million is quite significant. You could easily build a hospital or half a dozen schools with that kind of money. Now multiply it by the number of multi national companies resorting to those tricks and you have a fair idea of the billions that are actually being taken away from the Chancellor's balance sheet.

HomeArenal5 good restaurants in La Fortuna, from pizza to parrilla
5 good restaurants in La Fortuna, from pizza to parrilla
Karl Kahler/The Tico Times
LA FORTUNA, Alajuela — We ate at more eateries here than we could name, and we almost always found some little detail we didn't like. Still, at times we enjoyed our dinner immensely and left licking our fingers.
Our range of experience was wide, but we agreed that most places offered the same type of food.
"Todo es lo mismo," Guiselle said: Everything is the same. Everyone serves beef, pork, chicken and seafood, everyone has casados, everyone has arroz con pollo. So what stands out in this town?
Guiselle and I ate out every day for over a month, and then we were joined by my colleague Michael Krumholtz, who can eat more than both of us combined.
Many great restaurants are located in great hotels, which are reviewed separately and are not included in this list. We wouldn't call these "the best" restaurants in Arenal, because we didn't eat at all of them, but here are five we really liked, in alphabetical order.
Costa Rica's Greatest Places
In this series, Tico Times Travel takes an in-depth look at some of Costa Rica's greatest destinations, with multiple articles exploring their appeal. In April, we'll be looking at all the attractions of Arenal — adventure tourism, hotels, restaurants, real estate and of course that volcano and all those hot springs.
PART I: Valle del Sol
PART II: Quepos/Manuel Antonio
PART III: The Flamingo Coast
PART IV: Nosara
PART V: Arenal
1. Café Mediterraneo
This was our favorite restaurant in La Fortuna — an elegant Italian place with stylish ambience, excellent service and, best of all, outstanding food.
Proprietor Geovanny Lobo, 37, said his is the only place in town that makes its own pasta — spaghetti, fettucini and ravioli, everything except the penne, which requires a special machine. He recommended the green fettucini, made with avocado and tomato.
So I ordered the Spaghetti Matricciana with tomato sauce and smoked bacon, asking for the green fettucini instead of the spaghetti. It was possibly the best pasta dish I ever had.
Guiselle ordered the Pizza Tejana, which had tomato sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, jalapeño, purple onion and ground beef. She raved as she devoured it — the peppers burned, but they burned so good.
Guiselle asked Geovanny, who is from Heredia and is Italian in name only, why he chose to open an Italian restaurant.
"Because if I was going to open a restaurant, I wanted to open a restaurant where I could eat every day," he said. "I eat pizza every day."
We also asked about the fresh grated cheese on the table, which was excellent. "It's called Grana Padana; it's similar to Parmesan. It comes in a big wheel and spends 24 months maturing," Geovanny said.
A couple of good red wines, a cabernet from Argentina and a merlot from Chile, capped this dinner off perfectly.
We were almost embarrassed to ask if they had "servicio express," takeout service, for those lazy nights when we wanted to feast at home. But the happy answer was yes!

2. Don Rufino
I would call Don Rufino the finest restaurant in La Fortuna, offering gourmet dining and excellent wines in a beautiful setting. It's also probably the most expensive restaurant in town, but one of its smartest features is a bar that opens onto the street, so anyone wandering by can belly up and order a drink without facing the sticker shock of the dinner menu.
We enjoyed a four-course meal of ceviche, risotto, ribeye and chocolate mousse, with a flight of white and red wines. The ceviche was white marlin in an avocado cream with ginger, tomato dressing, red onion and coriander, served with yucca crisps.
The squash risotto came with chicken, shrimp, cherry tomatoes and parmesan, and the char-grilled ribeye was served with cauliflower puree, concannon potatoes, cabbage and bacon. It was all excellent, and the chocolate mousse melted in the mouth.
Head chef Santiago Fernández, 30, has been a cook for half his life, since an apprenticeship at Le Chandelier in San José at age 15.
"My focus is on creating recipes that you might call típicas, but turning them into something that you never would have expected," he said.
"In general, we don't complicate the food much. We like it to be simple but rico. You'll find nice presentations, but our focus isn't on showing off an extravagant chef. The food is good, and as a plus, you have good service, good presentation, so that's the focus of this place."
Carlos Quesada, one of the four brothers and sisters who own the place, said it's named after their grandfather, Don Rufino, one of the first settlers in the area.
3. La Forchetta
Michael Krumholtz/The Tico Times
Chef Alessandro Baldini came to Costa Rica from northern Italy decades ago and brought his homemade Italian recipes with him. After running a restaurant in San Pedro near the capital, Baldini opened La Forchetta seven months ago.
"I can't live in San José anymore," he said. "You can't drive a block there without it taking 30 minutes. Here I can walk everywhere and look up at the volcano every day. It's much more tranquil."
At the homey La Forchetta, located just two blocks south of La Fortuna's Central Park, Baldini's cooking provides the definition of comfort food. During my meal here I began with a good glass of Spanish Tempranillo suggested by my extremely attentive waiter. Though I was looking for a good starter, there was really no option besides caprese, which was my only complaint at this restaurant.
Instead, the waiter brought out complimentary bread with an awesome pesto sauce that was a fine consolation. For an entree, I ordered the ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese. The ravioli was doused with an excellent red sauce that had thick slices of tomato and a shredded white cheese.
This, to me, is as comfortable as comfort food gets. With the food, the environment, and the hospitality of Chef Alessandro, it's like being transported to the foothills of the Italian Alps.
— Michael Krumholtz
4. La Parrilla de María Bonita
At La Parrilla de María Bonita, the consummate meat lover has a place to celebrate. Yes, the restaurant also specializes in veggie Mediterranean options like falafel, tabbouleh and fattoush salad. But it's the meat that shines bright at this little dining spot tucked a few blocks away from the center of La Fortuna.
The restaurant, which held the top ranking on Trip Advisor for the area as this was written, offers a variety of grilled meats. My girlfriend ordered the sausage platter that came with three varieties of stuffed pork. I went with the St. Louis-style ribs, a risky proposition given our distance from the Gateway Arch.
It may not have been midwestern barbecue, but they were some of the best ribs I've had in Costa Rica. And although I would have preferred more traditional barbecue sides of red beans and cole slaw, the refried black beans and plantains were fine.
My only qualm was a pre-dinner palate cleanser of mango sorbet. To be frank, I just didn't get it. It's a bit unnecessary and doesn't make sense in a place that's serving curly fries as a side.
That singular miss was made up for, however, with really good service from the friendly waitstaff. Admittedly, my bar is set pretty low for service in a country where it often seems like you're an uninvited guest in someone's home when you eat out at restaurants.
In María Bonita's romantic atmosphere, our waitress was observant but not overbearing. With an already great assortment of food, it's that kind of service that makes the meal.
5. Rancho Perla
When we first pulled up to this restaurant, a half-dozen tour buses had beaten us here, and Japanese tourists were snapping photos of a low-hanging sloth. Not a bad sign on either count, I thought — all these tour operators wouldn't be bringing their clients to a place with bad food, would they, and how cool is it to eat your lunch within view of a sloth?
Located 100 meters behind Arenal Backpackers Resort, Perla offers an excellent sampling of Costa Rican cuisine — seafood, beef, pork, chicken, salads and more, all of it artfully presented and thoughtfully served.
"We offer white meat, red meat, exotic meat, seafood, fish, different preparations," said owner Hugo Salas Chaves. "Many times we leave it to the preference of the customer, what he wants, because you know that the way people eat, not everybody wants what's on the menu."
Hugo is nicknamed Perla, the Spanish name of a black girl with wild hair from the old "Our Gang" TV show.
"I didn't comb my hair in school, and my hair is kinky, so they called me Perlita from 'Our Gang,'" he said. "People sometimes call asking for la señora Perla, and I tell them there's no Señora Perla here."
I had a delicious chicken in peanut sauce here, and Guiselle raved over the cream of tomato soup, which she special-ordered to include tortillas and cheese, turning it into Azteca soup.
Perla said seafood remains his popular menu item. "People are inclined nowadays more than anything toward fish. We serve a lot of salmon, tuna, dorado, seabass, tilapia, and many times, in season, wahoo. Fishermen really like that. It's a fish that's not so easy to catch."
