Geriatric Special Care Unit at Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems to Close
Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems has announced the planned closure of its Geriatric Special Care Unit.
For years, Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems has successfully operated a Geriatric Special Care Unit, treating geriatric patients from Kansas and surrounding states for over 20 years. The Geriatric Special Care Unit at Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems is an intimate, 10 bed unit in a critical access hospital setting, operated by QUALITY HEALTH CARE OF BELOIT, LLC, a behavioral health management company that has been serving the behavioral health needs of elderly Kansans and Nebraskans since 2000.
Unfortunately, the workforce challenges due to COVID-19 have left Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems unable to fill staff positions that are vital to the Geriatric Special Unit's operation. This workforce shortage has forced them to make the difficult decision to close the Geriatric Special Care Unit.
They will continue to care for those patients currently in their care until the Geriatric Special Care Unit officially closes on December 1st.
The closing of the unit will not impact the operations of their outpatient Senior Life Enrichment program. It will continue to operate as normal as Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems is committed to providing behavioral health needs to the community.
Mitchell County Hospital Health Systems will continue to explore additional opportunities as they present themselves.

Laura and Kyle said "I do" at The Waterhouse on the riverfront in Peoria, Illinois. The space's warehouse-chic vibe was perfect for the industrial romantic theme they had envisioned. After first look photos outside, the happy couple exchanged vows in an unplugged ceremony in The Waterhouse's distillery room. Their wedding arbor was a gorgeous mix of greenery and florals in burgundy and white. Once they'd shared their first kiss as husband and wife, Laura and Kyle took a moment to themselves and enjoyed the views from the rooftop.
Laura was radiant in her lace sheath gown with its deep V neckline and court train. She carried a bouquet of burgundy mums and blush roses accented by greenery and wildflowers. Her bridesmaids wore red gowns with varying bodice styles and carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. Kyle and his groomsmen were dapper in blue suits. Kyle paired his with a cream colored tie and the guys wore red ones to match the ladies. The overall look was stunning!
Dinner was served in the ballroom where tables were set with blue and white striped runners and glass chargers. Centerpieces featured blush and burgundy florals in gold chalices and several tall candelabras were placed throughout the room. Gold details completed the decor and in lieu of traditional favors, Laura and Kyle generously donated to local food pantries. After dinner, the party moved back to the distillery room where guests danced the night away under hundreds of glowing Edison lights. Congratulations Laura and Kyle!


Hometown makes it simple to compare services, reviews, and quotes for junk removal companies in Santa Monica, CA. Whether you need furniture removal, appliance removal, house or garage clean-out, or any other unwanted debris removed, get the job done quickly and simply with a professional hauler found on Hometown.
What does it cost to hire a junk removal company?
Junk removal companies have minimum service fees starting at between $50 and $125, and this is the least amount you can expect to pay to have them come out and pick up a small load, such as a single piece of furniture.
More complex cleanups will cost more, and construction or demolition debris costs more to cleanup compared to household junk due to the increased labor and weight of the debris. Factors that influence cost include the volume and the weight of the debris.
The average junk removal project will cost a customer $150 to $500. However, a whole-house cleanout or a construction job site debris cleanup can easily run several thousand dollars.
Do junk haulers accept asbestos or other hazardous materials?
In order to haul hazardous wastes, such as asbestos, a junk removal business must have the proper licensing. Many do not carry this license, and thus cannot haul hazardous debris. This would also apply to household hazardous wastes and other toxic debris.


The pilot was identified by police Saturday as Jon Thocker of Cincinnati.
A pilot from Cincinnati died in a crash Friday during a performance at a Virginia airshow, authorities say.
The preliminary investigation revealed the pilot of an Van's RV-8 aircraft was performing maneuvers at the Culpeper Air Fest when the plane crashed into the ground, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Culpeper Air Fest officials said the aerobatic act experienced an accident and emergency services at the scene were dispatched immediately, according to FOX5.
The crash occurred in a field in the 12,500 block of Beverly Ford Road in Brandy Station, Va., at about 8:10 p.m, according to Virginia State Police.
He was the plane's only occupant and no one on the ground was injured as a result of the crash, said police.
Thocker was piloting with Redline Airshows based in Cincinnati and was a retired airline captain, according to the Redline Airshows website.
Thocker and pilot Ken Rieder were part of a two-ship formation performance aerobatic team that had performed at the Dayton Air Show and other air shows around the country.

A pizza shop has offered a large discount on pizzas to those who have written to their MPs in support of a People's Vote.
All Pizzeria Apollo in Diane Abbott's constituency of Hackney North and Stoke Newington has announced that it will offer a 25% discount to those that have written a letter expressing their support for the second referendum on Brexit.
According to the Hackney Gazette customers have to bring in a copy of their written letter or email to their MP expressing their support for another vote to claim the offer.
Kenny, who backed Remain in the 2016 referendum, said that Brexit would not help his business which is why he was not supporting it.
He told the newspaper: "Going into 2019, we have no idea what's going on, and there's no indication from parliament that they have any idea what's going on.
The discount comes with some stipultations and will only last until the end of March - or until a second referendum is called - depending on what comes first.
In the June 2016 EU referendum 78.5% of voters in Hackney North and Stoke Newington backed Remain.

How do Benzodiazepines induce Rewarding (Euphoric) effects?
Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs that serve as positive allosteric modulators of the GABAA receptor by binding to their own "site" on the aforementioned receptor. By doing this they produce euphoria and a wide range of effects characteristic of Central Nervous System (CNS) depression (e.g. anxiolysis, sedation, amnesia, mental confusion, muscle relaxant effects).
I know that an interaction with the mesolimbic dopamine ("reward") pathway would have to come in somewhere but where? I also know that GABAergic neurons downregulate activity in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway and that this is how opioids and cannabinoids induce euphoria -- they inhibit the release of GABA from presynaptic neurons in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway. I just find that this would be confusing in the case of benzodiazepines since they increase GABA activity, presumably also in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway thus producing dysphoria and not euphoria.
I just would like to know how they manage to induce euphoria in full (what they do to increase activity in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway that thus leads to euphoria)

$\begingroup$ Thanks for the edit. Could you be a bit more specific about what you need to know? You seem to be giving the answer in the question. $\endgroup$ – terdon Feb 10 '13 at 21:18
$\begingroup$ I think it'll be clear now. $\endgroup$ – BH2017 Feb 10 '13 at 21:39
$\begingroup$ Euphoria is linked to opioid receptors and (more recently) with the endocannabinoid system. The dopamine pathway you talk about is linked to addiction. $\endgroup$ – Fizz Dec 18 '17 at 14:40
Okay, I read the question wrong.
Benzodiazepines do not bind to GABAA receptors universally. Thus the presumption that it inhibits the mesolimbic dopamine pathway may be wrong. They may not interact directly with said pathway at all.
Many subtypes for the GABAA receptor exist. The receptor consists of 5 subunits. The following subunits are known to exist: α1-6, β1-3 and γ1-3. The most common combination has two α, two β and one γ. You find ones with distinct compositions at distinct locations in the brain. All have two bindingsites for GABA, but only a subset has an additional binding site for benzodiazepines.
The benzodiazepine binding site is at the interface of an α and a γ subunit, so receptors without this structure will show no affinity for benzodiazepines. Additionally the α subunit must contain a histidine residue, which is only true for α1, α2, α3 and α5. That is paraphrased from wikipedia, where you can find the sources as well.
I still think you need to consider the idea that benzodiazepines may not interact directly with the dopaminergic reward pathway, like opiates and cocaine does. I attribute the euphoria to be an indirect effect, resulting from the muscle relaxation (which will feel like you had a good massage), and the calmness of the mind.

· New, expanded and updated edition of the standard reference in the field
· Covers all clinically relevant aspects of congenital and acquired pediatric kidney diseases
· Documents up-to-date treatment guidelines based on the latest research findings
· Includes many clinical algorithms to improve understanding of children's kidney disease and guide appropriate treatment
This new edition of Pediatric Nephrology, now in three volumes, has been extensively updated and also contains much new material. Its organization flows logically from renal physiology to clinical evaluation. Discussion of the development of kidney structure and function is followed by sections on basic and translational research and on clinical methods, including laboratory tests, diagnostic imaging, and renal pathology. Comprehensive chapters then cover each of the childhood kidney diseases, grouped according to major disease categories. All of these chapters make new genetic information easily understandable for the practitioner and use many algorithms and diagrams to describe appropriate clinical evaluation of symptoms, differential diagnosis, specific diagnostics, and currently available therapies.
Over the course of the previous six editions, Pediatric Nephrology has become the standard reference text for students, trainees, and practicing physicians (pediatricians, nephrologists, internists, and urologists), subspecialists, and allied health professionals seeking information about children's kidney diseases. It is global in perspective, reflecting the fact that the international group of editors are all acknowledged world experts. This book serves as a superb reference and is an invaluable asset during clinical encounters with children having all forms of kidney disease.

Below are some ideas on how to turn your small landscape areas into more eye catching points in your backyard!
1. Create a view- A simple pergola gives this small garden landscaping a grand feel. Arbors and pergolas are classic small landscaping ideas and great ways to frame a view. You can do the same with shrubs, small trees, or even pieces of garden art.
2. Small Social Zones- Instead of having one huge backyard area to put all your guest, create eye popping zones for your guests to go to. Let the zones Capture different aspects of your backyard. Break up open areas of a smallspace so it feels larger. Have different furniture groupings and paths dividing the small backyard landscape into attractive and restful seating nooks.
3. Cozy- You want to feel like paradise outside. A place to relax and get away from your hectic schedule. You want to feel like you aren't at home, but in a place to feel like your escape.
4. Color- Color is a great way to show diversity in your backyard and look very beautiful. Place bold, bright colors in front of where you'll view them. Because they catch your attention first, the rest of the small garden landscape beyond will seem to recede, helping it to feel larger.
5.Perspective Power- Long, straight lines trick you into thinking a small yard or small garden landscape is bigger than it is. To take full advantage of this illusion, slant the far end of the lines toward one another and create a focal point. In this small backyard idea, a fence does the job and is enhanced by repeating rows of flowers and a pergola.
6. Backyard Vacation- The highlight of this small garden landscape is a fire pit with welcoming chairs. Placing the seating spot just off a paved patio, as well as creating a secondary seating spot near the fence, helps the small backyard feel more spacious.
7. Keep Plants Vertical- Horizontal plants take up space and not the good kind. You want vertical plants so your guest's eyes aren't looking at the ground. They will notice the space above too and have the feel of not being trapped in the backyard.
8. Focal Point- A focal point is a great small yard landscaping idea to draw the eye's attention and help outdoor spaces feel tidy. A simple seating area and vertical planter offers a peaceful nook.
9. Raise Planting Areas- You can give your small backyard a sense of height by raising up plantings, even just a foot or two. Try retaining walls or more formal raised beds integrated with other landscape features, such as stairs. You'll help the eye move up and create a pretty visual distraction from the lack of square footage.
10. De-Clutter- Make you sure not overwhelming your guest with too many focal points, plants or tress. Remember you want to make your small spaces to look and feel bigger, apart of your yard.

The U.K. has one of the highest obesity rates in Europe. Could a tax on sugary drinks help?
The U.K. will tax sugary drinks, both those made at home, and those imported. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's new budget lays out plans to raise the prices of soft drinks, and also what the government plans to do with all that extra tax money.
Places like Denmark and Berkeley, California, have already tried out their versions of a soda tax to reduce obesity rates. New York City tried to pass one a few years back, but an outraged public defeated it. There is evidence that they work. In Mexico, one of the earliest places to tax sugary drinks, soda sales fell by 6% in a year.
The new U.K. tax will operate in two bands—drinks with 5-grams of sugar per liter, and drinks with over eight grams per liter. The tax is expected to raise $744 million, which will be used to promote sport in elementary schools. Those numbers translate to around 30 cents on a quart bottle. According to the U.K. Office for Budget Responsibility, the price on a half-gallon bottle could rise by as much as 80%.
"Five-year-old children are consuming their body weight in sugar every year," said Osborne in his speech. "Experts predict that within a generation over half of all boys, and 70% of girls could be overweight or obese." the U.K.
Catching kids early is key. In the U.K. and other developed countries, poor kids are twice as likely to be obese as rich kids. Other measures, which have strong support with the U.K. public, are banning the advertising of junk food to kids, or taxing junk food.
Five-year-old children are consuming their body weight in sugar every year.
This new sugar tax neatly sidesteps one problem of taxing junk food—how do you define junk? Sugar is less open to interpretation. The sugar in a drink can be measured. Two effects are likely. One is that "diet" soda (despite its own issues) will look a lot more attractive on the shelf when the sugar-laden version next to it is way more expensive. And second, manufacturers will reduce the sugar in their drinks—the idea to use two tax bands for different sugar levels looks pretty smart, encouraging manufacturers to reduce sugar to achieve a lower tax rating. In fact, the Office for Budget Responsibility predicts a two percent increase in drinks at the lower rate, with a corresponding 5% a year drop in sales of the most sugary drinks.
The U.K. has one of the highest obesity rates in Europe, and this could be an important step to combat that. We'll have to wait to find out, though, because the new taxes won't be introduced until 2018-19.

Q: zero amputation interpretation as dropout Assume I'm trying to train a neural net on training data with some missing features across the training samples. Assume that I replace the missing feature with zero. Is this equal to the usage of dropout layer after the input layer ? (To simplify the math, let's also assume that I know the probability that a feature is missing - p. Is it equal to dropout(p)?)
Furthermore, I know that placing zero instead of the missing feature isn't that good idea because intuitively the network cannot distinguish between a missing feature and non missing feature with zero value. So what about if I set the value to zero but also freeze the weights that come out of the input neuron that represent the missing feature ? Is that a more reasonable approach ?
And to wrap up my questions - If both of my assumptions are true, why is using the Dropout at the input layer a bad idea while doing it at the hidden layers is okay ? Isn't the same indistinguishability is produced ? And isn't a good idea to freeze the weights of the hidden neurons which we drop during the dropout ?
Thank you,

My favorite magical girl is back after nearly 20 years! Sakura Kinomoto has just started Junior High and steps back into her role of Cardcaptor when mysterious events start unfolding around her. With her guardians Kero and Yue there by her side for council, Tomoyo is never far behind with a camcorder to record the adventures. Syaoran even makes a return and promises to stay by Sakura's' side from now on! Their romance now has a chance to bloom! With new dangers around, a cloaked figure that wants Sakura's powers and her cards disappearing. There are plenty more adventures for Sakura and her friends.
I honestly can not get over the fact it has been 20 years since Cardcaptors hit our TV screens way back in 1998. This was the first anime I ever saw as a kid and it burned its way into my mind. This show started my passion for anything Japanese, including anime, manga and looking for people to connect with over this style of animation. So when news broke that the show was getting a second season, well you can just imagine how excited I was!
Sakura has grown up a little bit since the last time we saw her, although it has only been perhaps a year for her character. Now starting Junior High with several of her childhood friends, Sakura is focusing on her school work and trying to get to conquer maths. With Eriol back in England, Sakura continues to keep in touch with him about life and magic. Even though there has been two decades since the last season, you can see that has been reflected by the advancement of technology used in the show by the characters. Tomoyo, ever afraid to miss a recording of Sakura in one of her outfits, adapts a drone to follow her when the action begins.
All of our favorite characters return in some form, a bit more grown but ever the same personalities. Touya and Yuki are now in college, whilst Sakura and her friends have progressed to Middle School, but as ever Kero chan is still Kero chan. We also see a foreign exchange student joining Sakura's class, Akiho Shinomoto, a girl much like Sakura, pure and sweet, but what secrets lie behind her smile! This exchange student is certainly going to be the centre of this season, as to what her part in all this is, is still a bit of a mystery.
Cardcaptor Sakura was created by an all female group of Japanese Manga Artists known as CLAMP. Debuting the manga series back in 1996, which is also completely published in English. The anime was adapted by Madhouse studios, who also animated CLAMP's other manga works into anime, including X, Chobits and Kobato. Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card continues on more or less where Season 1 ended. Once again animated by Madhouse and also with the original director – Morio Asaka. You can also either watch this in English, or like me, in Japanese.
Prologue episode, that is just a re-write and re-animated version of the final episode of CCS back in 2001. Which seems to be completely disregarded in Episode 1 of Clear Card. You'll know what I mean when you see the flashbacks of the first episode when you watch it.
A strong start to the next season of Cardcaptor Sakura, even though it has been such a long wait for this! To make up for lost time, why not sit down and revisit the original CCS in order to get ready for this next adaption. Even though this was only part one, the episodes do raise more questions than they answer, but after all that is what Part 1 is meant to do. Fingers crossed Part 2 will give us a satisfying conclusion to the show.
I am hoping that 2019 will be the year that one of the UK's Anime distributors will be able to release the entire Cardcaptor Sakura uncut/uncensored Japanese collection here. I will except DVD, but if it gets a Collector's Edition Blu-Ray release, well then, that would be MAGICAL!


If my spouse dies, I will not be able to afford all our debt. If I go bankrupt, can they take the life insurance money to pay the debts?
So sorry about your situation. I know it must be difficult.
When you file for bankruptcy, you must disclose all sources of income for the past three years, and that would include the proceeds from your deceased's husband's policy. So those proceeds would play a role in your bankruptcy if you file after the death of your spouse.
I recommend that you consult with a bankruptcy attorney in your area right away. If your spouse has not already died, after learning more about your situation and evaluating your finances, the attorney may advise that you file for bankruptcy now rather than later. It's also possible after examining your finances that the attorney will find a way for you to avoid bankruptcy entirely. In addition, the attorney will tell you what you should do and not do prior to filing so that if you do go bankrupt to help ensure that you receive the maximum benefit from taking that step. Go here to schedule a FREE consultation with a bankruptcy attorney.
If there is not enough money in the estate to pay all of your deceased spouse's debts, then some of his/her debts will not get paid and you will probably not have to pay them either. However, you WILL be legally obligated to pay any remaining debts that you as well as your spouse signed for (joint debt) and if you live in a community property state --Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, or Wisconsin -- you may be responsible for paying the debts of your deceased spouse even if you did not sign for them. A bankruptcy attorney will be able to help you identify which debts you will be responsible for, In the meantime however, I recommend you read our deceased person's debt FAQ to learn more on the subject.
My husband died leaving me with a lot of credit card debts he took out in my name. I want to file chapter 7. Is my life insurance proceeds exempt. It's been since April when I got the proceeds and have had to live off some of it. I get 1818 a month in ss and tiny pension. There are 3 of us that are living off my income. I am 62.
We are so sorry to hear of your husband's death. Whether or not the life insurance proceeds are exempt depends on a number of factors, including your state (or federal) bankruptcy exemptions. If it turns out they are not exempt then it's possible that the attorney could help you avoid the debt due to the fraud. We would really recommend you get legal advice from a consumer bankruptcy attorney so you can weigh your options. You can get a a free initial evaluation with a bankruptcy attorney here.

Off Broadway review: Lesley Manville and Jeremy Irons in 'Long Day's Journey Into Night'
Date: May 13, 2018Author: Thom 0 Comments
Just two years after Jessica Lange won a Tony for a Broadway revival of Eugene O'Neill's epic tragedy "Long Day's Journey Into Night," the British actress Lesley Manville brings a strikingly different approach to the woman at its center in Richard Eyre's compelling but flawed new production, which opened Sunday at Brooklyn Academy of Music. (The revival, which originated at the U.K.'s Bristol Old Vic in 2016, comes to L.A.'s The Wallis next month.)
Where Lange brought a plus-size languor to Mary Tyrone, the morphine-addicted woman modeled on O'Neill's own mother, Manville is an almost combustible dervish of energy who careens among the men in her life in the seaside Connecticut home where the play is set.
Chief among them is her husband, a once-great actor who has settled for popular melodramas and the comfort of his tight-fisted ways. Jeremy Irons plays the role with an almost patrician hauteur that's subtly effective despite its departure from O'Neill's description of the character as, basically, an Irish peasant.
Similarly, the Tyrone sons seem to hail not only from different families but from different schools of acting: Rory Keenan plays older son Jamie, the failed actor, in an overly broad way, relying on extremes of vocal inflection, while Matthew Beard brings a dancer's physicality to the more sensitive younger son, Edmund, the book-reading poet manqué whose fateful diagnosis of tuberculosis triggers Mary's final undoing.
It's one of many incongruous elements of Eyre's production — including Rob Howell's set design, which features period furniture but a modern, skylit glass-house that sometimes distracts from the proceedings and leaves the staircase off-puttingly upstage and in shadows.

St. Mary's photos updated. The Emergency Medical Facility is to the right. The former church is on the left.
The new St. Mary's Emergency Center construction is progressing with grading and landscaping going on right now.
Groundbreaking for the new St. Mary's Health Emergency Center is scheduled for August 28th. Expected to be half the size of the St. Mary's emergency room in Madison, the building will cost 6 million dollars to build and will be 13,500 square feet. Construction will begin soon after the groundbreaking and the facility is expected to be open in March of 2009. This will be a welcome addition to the city of Sun Prairie since the nearest hospital is many mile and minutes away, right now. SSM says that eventually, within ten years, the site could include a full inpatient hospital.
The planned emergency facility will have ten treatment bays, a CT scanner, X-ray imaging lab and an ambulance garage.
The picture, below, shows the former church that is on the property purchased by SSM Health Care for building the new Emergency Medical Center for Sun Prairie. It is on the South East corner as you get off the Hwy. 151 expressway at Exit 100. Hwy C, Reiner Road and 151. See map, below.
SSM Health Care of Wisconsin has finalized the purchase of former site of Pathway Community Church at the intersection of Hwy 151 and Reiner Road in Sun Prairie. The parcel is seventeen acres.

Emphysema is a type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in which the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs get damaged. In emphysema, the wall of air sacs become weak with time and rupture resulting in permanent enlargement of alveoli. This results in the reduction of surface area of the lungs and decrease in the amount of oxygen that can reach the bloodstream. It makes a person harder to breathe. Homeopathic treatment for emphysema tends to play a supportive role in the treatment and should be used alongside conventional treatment.
People having emphysema also frequently tend to have chronic bronchitis. Smoking tobacco remains the main cause of the development of emphysema. Smoking marijuana can also result in emphysema. Apart from this air pollution, exposure to chemical fumes, dust, and other lung irritants like cotton, wood or mining products increases the risk of developing emphysema. Emphysema can rarely be caused by inherited deficiency of a protein alpha -1- antitrypsin in some cases.
Homeopathy cannot reverse the damage already occurred in emphysema but it can help to slow down the further progression of the condition. Symptoms of shortness of breath and cough are managed with natural medicines in an excellent manner. Ammonium Carb, Antimonium Arsenicosum, Arsenic Album, Lobelia Inflata, Silicea and Ipecac are the top remedies for emphysema.
Ammonium Carb is one of the best medicines for treating emphysema. Ammonium Carb is highly beneficial for emphysema cases where a person feels shortness of breath from moving even a few steps. Shortness of breath gets worse in a warm room. Open air relieves the shortness of breath. Cough may appear with difficult breathing and it tends to get worse at night. The chest feels heavy along with chronic weakness.
Antimonium Arsenicosum is next well-indicated medicine for emphysema. It works well in cases of emphysema with excessive dyspnea and cough. In cases needing Antimonium Arsenicosum, the difficulty in breathing is felt most on eating or lying down. Cough appears with a lot of mucus with shortness of breath. Weakness is felt with above symptoms Apart from emphysema Antimonium Arsenicosum is also indicated for other lung disorders including pneumonia, pleural effusion, and pleurisy.
Arsenic Album is a very helpful medicine for emphysema when intense anxiety appears with shortness of breath. Cold sweat may also appear on the face with this. Shortness of breath appears on walking, exertion and even on lying down. Breathing is easier by inclining chest forward. Cough and whistling in the chest may also accompany dyspnea. Expectoration may appear which is scanty, frothy and difficult.
Lobelia Inflata is highly useful for emphysema where shortness of breath appears from slight exertion. Exposure to cold also worsens shortness of breath. Going up and down stairs also lead to shortness of breath. Constriction and sensation of fullness in the middle of the chest are present. The respiratory tract feels dry with above symptoms.
Silicea is considered in cases of emphysema where person experience shortness of breath on walking fast. Shortness of breath is also felt on stooping and lying on back. Cough and soreness in the chest also appears. Cough continues day and night. Profuse expectoration may arise with the cough. A foul smell may appear from the phlegm.
Carbo Veg is prominent medicine for emphysema with dyspnea, cough and profuse expectoration. Cough appears in violent spells. Lumps of mucus are expectorated on coughing. Expectoration may be greenish, yellow, brown or purulent and is tough, thick. Shortness of breath arises when walking. A fullness of chest attends.
Hepar Sulph is wonderful medicine for emphysema with dyspnea, cough and yellowish fetid expectoration. The expectoration may be purulent, profuse and tenacious. The symptoms tend to get worse in cold air and get better by wrapping up warmly.
Phosphorus offers help in cases of emphysema with attending bronchitis. There is difficult respiration attended with fullness and heaviness in the chest. Extreme prostration accompanies dyspnea. There appears cough with expectoration of yellow or greyish mucus, sometimes streaked with blood. It may have a sweet, sour or salty taste.
Ipecac is prepared from the dried root of plant Cephaelis ipecacuanha of the natural order Rubiaceae. Ipecac is prominently indicated for treating emphysema in old people. There is extreme dyspnea with cough in cases needing Ipecac. Difficult breathing appears from slight exercise. Chest feels oppressed. Rattling and wheezing in chest is also felt. There appears excessive mucus in chest which is expectorated with difficulty.
Digitalis is prepared from leaves of plant Digitalis purpurea commonly known by the name of foxglove of the natural order Scrophulariaceae. Digitalis can be used for supportive help along with conventional treatment in cases of emphysema with attending heart complaint. The person needing Digitalis have dyspnea with a constant desire to breath deeply. There is cough with yellow jelly-like mucus expectoration. The complaints get aggravated by walking and relieved while lying perfectly quiet.
In many cases, a person may have emphysema without knowing it because they don't experience any of the symptoms. The main and first symptom noticed in emphysema is shortness of breath, which usually begins gradually. Shortness of breath is especially felt during exercise and physical exertion initially. With time the person starts to feel difficulty in breathing every time, even when at rest that causes difficulty in performing routine activities. Other attending symptoms of emphysema include cough, weight loss, and fatigue.


As a long-term resident of Bangkok, I've met a number of western men over the years who were in Thailand specifically to find a Thai girlfriend or Thai wife. Some were here for a few months or longer, while a few were only in Bangkok for a couple of weeks. During that time, they all hoped to meet a Thai woman they were compatible with and, hopefully, get married.
With many western men coming to Thailand to meet women by signing up with a dating agency in Bangkok, however, is this really the way to go? Or is there a better way to meet a potential partner, even on a short trip to Thailand's capital city?
The cost of a dating agency in Bangkok – One thing which may give you pause when it comes to deciding to use a dating agency in Bangkok or to try to 'go it alone' is the cost. Many dating agencies charge the equivalent of $2,500 or more just for introductions to three or four Thai women over the course of a few days.
With no guarantees of whether you'll hit it off with any of them, or even if any of the women will like you, $2,500 is a large amount of money to spend. Particularly in a country that's still developing. Think very carefully before you agree to a fee this large.
Some dating agencies in Bangkok are unscrupulous – If you use a dating agency in Bangkok, make sure you use one that is recommended by someone you know or by several people whose identities you can verify online.
That's because there are a number of unscrupulous dating agencies in Bangkok that will set you up with extremely unsuitable women, will promise you the world and deliver nothing, or in some cases even tell you to lie to your country's embassy if things do work out and embassy officials want to know where you met your soon-to-be-wife.
I met one man who had paid an agency more than $3,000 for introductions to five Thai women. Not only did he say the agency had done nothing to even check whether these women had anything in common with him (they didn't), but in his estimation at least three of the five were either former or current prostitutes.
Let's face it, if you wanted to marry a Thai prostitute, you can find one yourself in one of Bangkok's famous red light districts without having to pay an exorbitant fee to do so.
Some of the cheaper agencies are sometimes the best – I know two western men (one American and one Brit) who met their wives through a Bangkok dating agency and neither of them paid more than $250 for the introduction. Both also said the Thai agency owner had obviously done her homework as she introduced them to several women that were quite compatible and all seemed to be hard-working 'normal Thai women' with jobs in schools, offices and department stores.
The American man has been married to his Thai wife for six years now, and both still seem exceptionally happy.
Check what the agency fee covers before signing up or making a payment – No matter how much an agency charges, make sure you know what you are paying for. Is it just for a set number of introductions? Do they offer any form of guarantee with your fee? If you meet a woman you like do they help with the paperwork for her visa to be able to travel to your country or will you have to do it yourself?
Avoid the dating agencies in Bangkok that are charging a high fee to 'register your marriage' in Thailand (some charge several hundred dollars) as you can do that yourself at the Amphur office (similar to a western registry office) in your fiancee's neighborhood for just a couple of dollars. The American embassy in Bangkok even has a step-by-step instruction sheet as to how.
Consider other options – There are other options you can consider when it comes to meeting Thai women in Bangkok.
1. Take a holiday to Bangkok for a couple of weeks and go to bars, clubs, restaurants, coffee shops, visit tourist attractions, go to local markets, and generally have a good time. You will likely meet hundreds of Thai women while you're doing that and with some Thai women actively wanting a 'farang boyfriend' (western boyfriend), you could end up meeting someone you really like.
2. Do you know anyone in your home country who already has a Thai wife? She may know of one or two women back in Thailand that would like to meet a western man. Introductions can be made over the internet and then, if the woman is someone you think you'd like to meet, you can always arrange for a vacation to Thailand to do so.
3. While internet dating sites in Thailand can be full of women who are either scamming several western men at the same time for money, or are just trying to find a rich western husband, some 'nice Thai girls' do frequent the sites and you may be lucky meeting one.
If you'd like to visit Thailand, spend a couple of months online before you do and see if it's possible to meet a Thai woman there. If you talk to anyone who sounds interesting, you can always arrange to meet her, or them, when you arrive on vacation in Bangkok and take the relationship from there.
One final word of caution, when you meet a Thai woman you think you like but your gut instinct is telling you there is something not quite right, go with that feeling as chances are you are correct. Don't rush into anything out of loneliness or desperation. There are many Thai women who are actively looking for western boyfriends and a large percentage of them are genuine, kind, honest and lovely.
Remember, if you don't meet someone you hit it off with on your first trip, Bangkok is only a plane ride away and it's a great excuse to enjoy another exotic holiday.

Billie Eilish laughs at being 'doomed' for wearing baggy clothes in her 'SNL' monologue

It is safe to say that a file Happier than ever The singer didn't disappoint with her monologue, musical streak, and hilarious graphics—complete with surprising surprises from her brother, Phineas, and fellow singer Miley Cyrus.
One of the topics Billy wasn't shy about was illuminating the long-running discourse about her style, body, and overall appearance.

If you didn't know, Bailey—who was associated with baggy oversized clothes and green-rooted hair in her early years of fame—has recently branched out from her signature style, to rock a more "feminine" look. Although this transformation has won a great deal of praise, Billy has also been called "cheater" And "detestable"By critics just for trying the way it presents itself.
Dive straight into the topic SNL Billy began in the monologue, "I'm so excited to be here! My name is Billie Eilish. If you don't know me from my music, you might know me from my hair or my clothes."
"That is why I decided to dress like Mrs. Claus is going to the club," Billy joked about her outfit, which consisted of a Simone Rocha puffy dress with red and white stiletto boots.
She continued, "But actually, no. I'm only wearing this because after the show I have to go get married in the cartoon."
Bailey turned her attention directly to her fashion choices, continuing to mock the intrigues circulating about her outfits.

"Some people wonder why I started wearing baggy clothes… There was really a good reason. It wasn't just for comfort or style," she said. SNL, before moving on to make fun of the matter.
"It's hard to say this to me," she joked, "but the real reason I was wearing oversized clothes at the time was…I was actually two kids stacked on top of each other trying to sneak into an R movie." With a roar of applause from the crowd.

Bailey went on to talk about the "scary" experience of growing up and developing in the public eye, noting that it's unfair to judge fashion choices that were made years ago.
Talking about her upcoming 20th birthday, Bailey said, "I'm really excited about getting older because I just right Now I'm starting to understand who I actually am as a person."
"The scary thing about growing up in the public eye is that people just decide that everything you say, do and look like is who you are forever," she said.
"Do you want to be judged by the way you presented yourself when you were 16?" I wondered. "number."
"It takes time and effort to accept who you really are," Bailey added. "I've spent a lot of years pretending to be someone I'm not."
Bailey's comments came just weeks after she considered the uproar over her transition from baggy to well-fitting clothes, which stemmed from her appearance on the cover of British Vogue earlier this year.

In case you missed it, Bailey made headlines back in May when she adopted the "Hollywood classic" style for Vogue, wearing several designer corsets. With the look being so different from the kinds of clothes she's rocked before, some people have criticized Bailey for appearing to conform to standards of beauty that they felt she had been struggling to break up for years.
Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Disney
"I did the Vogue cover and it was kind of like we were shooting for," Bailey said in a recent video with Vanity Fair. "It was an old Hollywood type of lingerie classic."
"It was supposed to be a specific aesthetic for a photoshoot, and then it was like the 'new Billie Eilish style' and people kept like, 'Wow, her new style, it's so much better than the old style. Or like, 'Wow, I wish we could get her old style back, I'm so sad she just changed into this,'" she said, citing some of the criticism she's received.
"It was really weird because I was like, 'It's not a new style. "It's something I wore and then I'm going to wear it another day and then I'm going to do this," she added. "The thing I've been preaching about since I first started is to wear whatever you want."
Bailey went on to discuss how the transformation in her appearance helped her feel confident and in control of her way around people when in public, noting that her change from green hair to blonde meant that she wasn't known.
"My attitude was, 'Well, I can't get out. You know, I can't go here. "I can't go there," she explained as she looks back at her 18-year-old video. "And I couldn't even go to the park or go get food or get coffee.
"Last year I've been open about it. I'm really grateful for that because I'm able to feel confident going out without a hat, hoodie, glasses, mask and jacket… It's so much better and you don't have to live like that. And I realized that this year I don't have to I live like this.
"My hair is blonde now, so it's not, like, the only person I've ever seen walk with green hair," Bailey added. She continued to turn things around again earlier this month, debuting new dark hair In an Instagram post.
In a similar vein, Bailey recalled losing 100,000 followers after she posted a photo in a corset and lace bra in September.
Kevin Winter/Getty Images
While speaking to Elle – who noted that the photo was met with an onslaught of hateful comments – Bailey admitted that she found it "inhuman" to be associated with just one particular style.
"I lost 100,000 followers, just because of the boobs," Bailey said of the photo. "People are afraid of big boobs."
"People cling to these memories and have an association," she added. "But it is very inhumane."

Silencing Synapses: Pitt-Led Research Team Explores For Pharmacological Solution to Cocaine Addiction
By Melissa Carlson
Imagine kicking a cocaine addiction by simply popping a pill that alters the way your brain processes chemical addiction. New research from the University of Pittsburgh suggests that a method of biologically manipulating certain neurocircuits could lead to a pharmacological approach that would weaken post-withdrawal cocaine cravings. The findings have been published in Nature Neuroscience.
Researchers led by Pitt neuroscience professor Yan Dong used rat models to examine the effects of cocaine addiction and withdrawal on nerve cells in the nucleus accumbens, a small region in the brain that is commonly associated with reward, emotion, motivation, and addiction. Specifically, they investigated the roles of synapses—the structures at the ends of nerve cells that relay signals.
When an individual uses cocaine, some immature synapses are generated, which are called "silent synapses" because they send few signals under normal physiological conditions. After that individual quits using cocaine, these "silent synapses" go through a maturation phase and acquire the ability to send signals. Once they can send signals, the synapses will send craving signals for cocaine if the individual is exposed to cues that previously led him or her to use the drug.
The researchers hypothesized that if they could reverse the maturation of the synapses, the synapses would remain silent, thus rendering them unable to send craving signals. They examined a chemical receptor known as CP-AMPAR that is essential for the maturation of the synapses. In their experiments, the synapses reverted to their silent states when the receptor was removed.
"Reversing the maturation process prevents the intensification process of cocaine craving," said Dong, the study's corresponding author and assistant professor of neuroscience in Pitt's Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. "We are now developing strategies to maintain the 'reversal' effects. Our goal is to develop biological and pharmacological strategies to produce long-lasting de-maturation of cocaine-generated silent synapses."
Dong collaborated with Susan Sesack, Pitt professor of neuroscience; Oliver Schlüter, independent group leader at the European Neuroscience Institute; Yavin Shaham, senior investigator for the Intramural Research Program of the National Institute on Drug Abuse; Eric Nestler, Nash Family Professor of Neuroscience and director of the Friedman Brain Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; and Marina Wolf, professor and chair of the Department of Neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science.
The findings appear in "Maturation of silent synapses in amygdala-accumbens projection contributes to incubation of cocaine craving," which was published in the November print issue of Nature Neuroscience. This research was supported by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Drug Abuse and the German Research Foundation.


As a lawyer in a large Manhattan firm, just shy of making partner, Clementine Evans has finally achieved almost everything she's been working towards—but now she's not sure it's enough. Her long hours have led to a broken engagement and, suddenly single at thirty-four, she feels her messy life crumbling around her. But when the family gathers for her grandmother Addie's ninety-ninth birthday, a relative lets slip hints about a long-buried family secret, leading Clemmie on a journey into the past that could change everything. . .
Clemmie (Clementine) Evans is a hard-working woman. She's dedicated seven years of her life to the law-firm of Cromwell, Polk & Moore and is the fast-track (if seven years is considered fast) to be considered a junior partner. Clemmie has no social life to speak of and has recently broken up with her fiancé. She does, however, make time to attend her grandmother's ninety-ninth birthday party. One little slip of the tongue sets off an investigation into her family's past.
Adeline (Addie) Gillecotte was orphaned at age six and sent to live with her father's half-brother, the current Earl of Ashford, and his family at Ashford Park. She is quickly befriended by her cousin Bea and the two become as close as sisters. Bea grows up to be "the debutante of the decade," marries the Marquess Rivesdale and goes off to London taking Addie with her. Unfortunately Bea quickly becomes bored with her life, especially since her husband is prone to go off to the country with his mistress. In an effort to make her husband jealous she embarks on an affair with Addie's friend, Frederick Desborough . . . an affair that ends one marriage and quickly forces her into another. Frederick and Bea leave England behind and travel to Kenya where disaster strikes and changes the Desborough family forever.
Ms. Willig has provided another great read that blends contemporary and historical storylines. The past is presented as Addie's story from 1906 through the late 1920s. Addie's life with her uncles and cousins wasn't necessarily a hard life, but she never quite fit in at Ashford Park. She strives to make a life for herself in London after Bea's disastrous affair, and eventually finds gainful employment and a beau. Both Addie and Bea's lives are changed in Kenya. Clemmie is on a quest to find out just what happened to her grandparents in Africa, and ultimately discovers what she wants from life. I found The Ashford Affair to be a fast-paced and engaging read. Ms. Willig drew me in from the very first page and held my attention to the end. The Ashford Affair provides a tantalizing blend of family drama, romance, and intrigue and is the perfect read for a springtime weekend read.

Within 6 months these two elders guided me down the path towards a wonderful form of honest expression, and yes, my Sound changed. My sound, groove, everything. It all was starting to come together. In 6 months, they could use what's considered "unorthodox" methods in teaching, and be highly successful. But what I believe, is that academia is unorthodox, only because it's highly resistant to change.
Now lets talk about learning a new language. In Spain, children are taught how to speak English by the means spending endless hours with their noses in grammar books. This rule for this, this rule for that. They're not working on speaking, and their listening capabilities also suffer. But they're often asking questions like "Can we use a modal auxiliary with the second conditional using the past participle?" As if thinking this way has some form of real-world application. "Can you just give me one rule for prepositions?" Absolutely not. English doesn't work that way, music doesn't work that way, and why should we assume that any form of communication works that way?
How do we learn to speak our first language? Through listening first, mimicking what we hear second, through correction we learn to speak appropriately, and then we learn to communicate. After this we learn how to read and write. The same as with music, but for some asinine reason academia takes the reverse route, and pins its chest with a badge of prestige.
Needless to say, feeling like this helped me leave the education department at the university and guided me towards studying sociology. For whatever reason, my zany sense of humor and sometimes vulgar passion for social justice was appreciated. I was even told it helped with the classes. If it wasn't for experiencing these two polarized atmospheres, I wouldn't be fit to teach with confidence in foreign countries. However the U.S. is much more resistant to change than say, 20 or so countries in Europe.
"A good student and a good teacher is one who knows how to follow rules." Said Donald Grant while walking through the hallway of the Thomas Fine Arts center. I will never forget that. The head of the music department said that. Not Gandhi, not Edison, nor the Dali Lama. They said the opposite. This mentality is the reason why my countries education system is failing. This mentality doesn't support creative thinking, critical thinking, or any form of innovation. And only from this position at a prestigious university will it trickle down through the rest of the echelons of academia.

Using PopUp Pro and Facebook Comments Plugin - Why do Facebook Comments show up in the PopUp?
We have PopUp Pro running on the site. When I activate the PopUp to go live, I go to any page/post I see the PopUp and inside the PopUp Facebook Comments pull up from that page/post. Which then distorts the PopUp. I have Facebook Comments Disabled for the PopUp as well. Any suggestions?
Could you please try using different pop up loading methods from the pop up settings as shown in the attached screenshot?
That was it! I thought I had already changed it to AJAX (it was still on Footer) - that has seemed to clear it all up. Thank you very much for your assistance!


Beer Recipe Design on the Go?
I'm pleased to announce the release of BeerSmith Mobile for iPhone and iPad. BeerSmith Mobile brings full recipe design and editing to your iPhone or iPad, and joins last week's versions released for Android and Kindle Fire.
BeerSmith mobile includes seamless recipe integration via the BeerSmithRecipes.com cloud site so you can drop a recipe in your cloud folder on your desktop, and edit it from your phone or tablet on the go!
Watch this video of BeerSmith Mobile in action!
BeerSmith mobile gives you the ability to fully edit recipes, equipment profiles, mash profiles, ingredients as well as a full brewday recipe timer.
BeerSmith Mobile is available at a sale price of $7.99 (20% off) until the end of June. After that the price will be raised to its normal level of $9.99. It is available now for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets and the Kindle Fire.
I would say it has almost about 85% of the recipe functionality of the desktop version, with the yeast starter tool being the obvious exception. The mobile version does not have many of the other tools like the calendar and inventory tracking however. But if you want to create, edit and brew recipes the mobile version has what you need.
Will you be adding the yeast starter tool to the mobile version?
How do I print the brew day notes like I can from the desk top version on the new mobile version?
Sorry – I don't have printing enabled yet, but just about everything that is on the brewday printout is on the timer page if you open any recipe and click on timer. I actually did a cross comparison when building that page for brewing.
Yes – it is high on my list for an early update.
I set the price at $7.99 US, but the app store translates that price for each country based on their own conversion and cost structure for that country. Unfortunately I can't set the price outside the US – for the most part it is set automatically based on the US price.
Any easy way to get the 1.4 grain extensions into the mobile version of the app when I don't own the desktop version?
I've been looking forward to this. I wanted to take advantage of the "in-app" iPhone upgrade you've mentioned. I now see on my BeerSmith Lite an upgrade option to "Purchase Upgrade" to add recipe editing, but when I try to use it, the "Confirm … Purchase" pop-up says [Environment: Sandbox] and when I try to buy it with my iTunes account, another pop-up tells me "This is not a Test User account… please create a new account in the Sandbox environment". I'm completely sandboxed. Should I just continue to wait, or is this a problem that should be fixed? Thanks for a great product that allows free artistic expression in the science of brewing, with the kind of feedback that helps to prevent the undrinkable.
Is there a way to email a recipe from a mobile device??
Any updates on även the inventory will be implemented?
discounts in either app store.
I do apologize…I just have no way within the constraints of the app stores to transfer the license.
Does the mobile app have the ability to convert an all grain recipe to extract? Or is that only a feature of the desktop version?
A few suggestions to the mobile version: 1. A possibility to email recipes. 2. Dropbox support or similar, with an offline copy of all the synced recipes. 3. Auto conversion of recipes from US to metric & vice cersa, when the settings are changed.
It's something that already exists in other beer apps and would be lovely to see in Beersmith too.
Mobile app would be much better with Inventory and Shopping List. (And Yeast starter tool). Will you be adding these features?
IOS9 will not allow saving or editing to the cloud.
Yes – Apple released the 9.0.1 update without sending it to developers and it broke many of the fixes I put in place for IOS9. I implemented fixes for this in one day but it will take several days to get it through the Apple review process and get them to you. You should get an update to the app correcting the issue within the next week.
– The ability to see alternative ingredients with the click of a button. Seems like the supply store is always missing at least one of the ingredients and a simple way to find the alternative ingredient would be very handy.
I've been using Beersmith for a few years now and really like it. I would like to be able to print my recipes out if possible. Also, if I install the app on my phone and my ipad, can I see the same recipe list on the cloud recipes?
Anything you copy to your cloud account (which is private by default) will show up at BeerSmithRecipes.com if you log in there. You can do a basic printout from there.
I believe pellet hops are about 10% more effective, but BeerSmith uses pellet hops as the standard addition.
How do I share one purchase of beersmith mobile between an iPad and iPhone?
If they are tied to the same iTunes account you can install it on both devices after purchase. The license is tied to your iTunes account.
Can this integrate/sync with the desk version? I use the desktop version but the portability of the iPad is better on brew days.

The East Harlem School
Zurück zur Projektliste
The East Harlem School is an independent, not-for-profit, year-round middle school that recruits students from low-income families in East Harlem. The school provides scholarships for all enrolled students. It is the first independent school to have been built in the Harlem community in decades. The school is committed to maintaining an intimate cohort of students, in which each is recognized as an individual and as a contributor to the community.
This dual purpose is echoed in the design of the building. The lower floors, which are linked by a formal public stair visible from the street, contain public spaces: a large cafeteria, gymnasium and entrance lobby. These floors are sheathed in translucent, acid-etched glass through which the daily activities of students and teachers are visible from the street. The upper floors contain classrooms and other academic spaces, which are veiled by a composition of windows and panels of varying colors and degrees of reflectivity. This fabric-like screen marks the sheltered isolation needed for the serious work of learning, study, and discipline that goes on in those spaces. As part of the pixelated façade, window openings are placed in relation to interior planning rather than imposing any formal exterior logic. On the interior, the outside walls of the classrooms are composed of staggered rectangles of alternating windows and colored panels that are used as tack boards for instructional materials and other displays.
The school had an extremely tight budget, caused both by the high cost of construction that plagues inner-city schools and the fact that its site was within the 100-year flood zone. Our office acted as both architect and construction manager in an integrated process led by the architects. This process provided a level of intensive quality control and substantial cost savings that produced a building that would otherwise have been out of reach for such a school.

Man shot in head at National City bar
By: Hannah Mullins, 10News Digital Team
An early morning shooting at a National City bar sent one man to the hospital with major injuries, police said.
The incident happened at Stoney's Bar & Grill in the 100 block of W. 25th Street, according to National City police.
Police said some officers were near the bar when they heard gunshots and responded as multiple 911 calls came in.
Police told 10News the victim was struck five or six times, including once in the head.
Officers stopped a car speeding near the area without its lights on, and the two men inside were arrested in connection with the shooting.
10News learned the man is in the hospital in stable condition.
The shooting remains under investigation.


The Seattle Review of Books - Revisiting "Reset"
When I first read Reset, I used sticky neon flags to mark every passage that reflected an experience I'd had personally. When I finished, my copy of the book looked like it had swallowed a family of flamboyant octopi made by a kindergarten art class. In a 269-page volume, the longest stretch between two flags was 27 pages.
Pao's story is uniquely hers, but it is woven from threads of bias and exclusion that are exhaustingly familiar to every woman and minority in tech.
I nodded in recognition as I flagged the page where Pao describes squirming uncomfortably through the pornographic conversations of her business colleagues. What woman hasn't found herself in the same impossible situation as Pao, forced to choose between removing herself from these conversations —thereby undermining business relationships and access to information — or participating in inappropriate behavior and damaging her integrity and reputation?
I sighed knowingly as I pressed a flag next to Pao's description of the boss who repeatedly confused her for the other Asian woman (white, for me) working in the office. How could either of us expect proper recognition of our work from people who weren't quite sure who was doing it? If we speak up about seemingly small mix-ups like this, though, we are dismissed as over-sensitive; if we speak up on our own behalf about our accomplishments, we are criticized as abrasive and ambitious; if we do nothing, our careers stall, and when we finally speak up (or sue), we are blamed for having been complacent.
I stuck a flag over the text of the email admonishing Pao for asking for a raise to match her salary with that of a male peer. I pasted yet another flag onto the passage in which she recalls performance reviews describing her as too aggressive, but also not confident enough. I stuck another, and another, and another.
Is it just me? Is it possible that I am really too ambitious while being too quiet while being too aggressive while being unlikeable? Are my elbows too sharp? Am I not promoting myself enough, or am I too self-promotional? Am I not funny enough or not serious enough? Am I not working hard enough? Do I belong?
This paragraph screamed for a handful of flags, but I had to limit myself to just one. My booklet of stickies was nearly empty.
Over the years, my friends and I all had similar epiphanies about diversity in tech. At first, we'd thought individuals were the problem. ... Then we chalked the problem up to the companies we worked for. ... [eventually] though, many of us had come to realize that the whole tech system had exclusion built into its design.
Pao spent decades downplaying the effects of discrimination and bias, internalizing these effects as personal failings and attempting to overcome them by leaning in just a little bit harder. Like so many women before her, she finally stepped back and said, enough.
Pao is not alone in reaching a breaking point. Reset cites a 2014 Harvard Business Review study that reveals just how common this trajectory is: "Over time, fully 52% of highly qualified women working for [STEM companies] quit their jobs, driven out by hostile work environments and extreme work pressures, and a lack of clarity surrounding career paths." I, too, was briefly a participant in this statistic — I recently took a year away from tech to re-evaluate whether my love of the work burned brightly enough to pull me back into a culture that feels perpetually foreign (it did).
What makes Pao unique is that she had the courage and the financial resources to say enough publicly. Her gender discrimination lawsuit shone a spotlight not only on individual bad actors, but also on systemic cultural problems within the tech sector.
Pao lost her trial, but she won the gratitude and respect of people who see their own experience in hers. She set an example that raised both the expectations and the courage of the women who follow her. She fired a warning shot that continues to echo through Silicon Valley.
Eleven months and several re-reads later, the sticky notes sprouting from my copy of Reset have curled and their colors have faded. Their diminished exuberance is an embarrassingly obvious metaphor for Pao's grinding path and for the weariness of anyone struggling to outlast a system working against them. For all the catharsis that Pao presumably found in the telling of her story, and for all the validation that women like me feel while reading it, we are left with an obvious and stubborn question: Now what?
In 2017, news headlines hinted that the conversation about tech culture was indeed accelerating. Susan Fowler published a blog post in February detailing harassment and toxicity at Uber. It led within months to the removal of high-profile C.E.-Bro Travis Kalanick. That summer saw a handful of VCs (Justin Caldbeck, Chris Sacca, Dave McClure) resign over allegations of sexual misconduct. Reset was released in September, just four days after Mike Cagney resigned as CEO of SoFi over allegations of harassment and inappropriate relationships.
But — and here is where mere frustration condenses into the white-hot rage of the impotent — Silicon Valley is granting a decidedly un-meritocratic level of forgiveness to at least some of these offenders. Mike Cagney, for example, announced in July 2018 that he had raised $58 million in VC money for his next company (meanwhile, just 2% of VC money went to female-founded companies in 2017). Since his resignation, Justin Caldbeck has been offered speaking slots at multiple conferences focused on diversity in tech.
The tech world proudly calls itself a meritocracy while fully rewarding the merits of only a privileged few. Reset highlights its hypocrisy. Pao describes example after example of second and third and fourth chances given to men (usually white) with proven histories of sexism, harassment, lying, and illegal behavior. Meanwhile, she and others from underrepresented groups walk impossible tightropes to avoid mistakes, knowing that additional chances will not be readily granted to them.
...the media kept criticizing her. Nothing she did was good enough — from how she posed for magazine stories to what kind of parties she threw. They belabored her salary — right up until her replacement came in and got twice her salary right off the bat.
Can you name the founder/CEO who hit his girlfriend one hundred seventeen times? … Or the one recently accused of writing computer programs to perpetuate fraud at Zenefits? Or the one at Hampton Creek who reportedly had teams of employees buying their own products to boost sales to show potential investors? Can you name any of Marissa's predecessors who helped drive Yahoo! into the sorry state it was in when she joined?
Pao's personal story, and her articulation of the exclusionary effects of tech's systemic biases, resonated with millions of us. Still, in the end, she lost her trial.
Where does that leave us? Now what?
Ellen Pao has done what she set out to do. She has accelerated the conversation.
Through her book, she has accelerated a recognition that tech is not a meritocracy just because its most privileged participants say so. Through her nonprofit Project Include, she has accelerated the conversion of frustration and hope into public discussion and activism. Through her lawsuit, she has raised the stakes for individuals and companies who remain willfully ignorant of the progress accelerating around them.
This May, a former Uber engineer sued the company for harassment and improper handling of her complaints, in a lawsuit that will inevitably draw comparisons to Pao's. Justin Caldbeck's speaking opportunities have been rescinded after sustained protests and boycotts led by women. Uber and Microsoft have recently ended practices of forced arbitration, meaning that their employees can now file harassment and discrimination claims in court and speak about them publicly (as opposed to having them handled privately within the company).
Increasingly, people are speaking up when the mechanisms of bias and exclusion become tangible. Increasingly, people are speaking up in favor of inclusive practices that will nudge tech in the direction of the meritocracy that it claims and wants to be. Ellen Pao showed us how.

In the last days of December 2016, a new issue of Acta Universitatis Carolinae Theologica, dedicated to Emmanuel Levinas and Theology, was published. It brings insightful papers by Jakub Sirovátka, Jolana Poláková, Petr Sláma, Ivana and Tim Noble, and Erwin Dirscherl. In the 'Varia' section, you find a couple of papers on different topics. All the articles are available online on the website of the AUCT Journal.


Thanks a lot for the suggestion! Hopefully other members will show some support on this :slight_smile: good idea.
2nd one looks more like what you're after but mixed reviews. I'm thinking that's likely where the bugs were coming in.
Anyways, thanks again for your suggestion! Let us know if any further thoughts on this come up.
I have used both and yes I had some bugs on the yelp widget pro. I figured I would let you guys know that the others were buggy and if more people want one like myself, you could make one!
