Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Mississippi. However, the prevalence of no known CVD risk factors among Mississippi adults and the change of prevalence in the past 9 years have not been described. We assess changes in prevalence of no known CVD risk factors during 2001 and 2009.
Prevalence of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, physical inactivity, smoking, and obesity were investigated. Survey respondents who reported having none of these factors were defined as having no known CVD risk factors. Differences in prevalence and 95% confidence intervals were determined using t-test analysis.
Overall, age-standardized prevalence of having no known CVD risk factors significantly decreased from 17.3% in 2001 to 14.5% in 2009 (p = 0.0091). The age-standardized prevalence of no known CVD risk factors were significantly lower in 2009 than in 2001 among blacks (8.9% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.008); males (13.5% vs. 17.9%, p = 0.0073); individuals with a college degree (25.2%, vs. 30.8%, p = 0.0483); and those with an annual household income of $20,000–$34,999 (11.6% vs. 16.9%, p = 0.0147); and $35,000–$49,999 (15.2% vs. 23.3%, p = 0.0135).
The prevalence of no known CVD risk factors among Mississippi adults significantly decreased from 2001 to 2009 with observed differences by race, age group, sex, and annual household income.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) describes the major disorders of the heart and the arterial circulation supplying the heart, brain, and peripheral tissues [1]. The frequency of CVD in most populations and its association with premature death, loss of independence, impaired quality of life, social and economic costs, and health disparities make it a major public health priority [1]. Age-standardized death rates due to CVD [International Classification of Diseases (ICD), tenth revision: ICD-10, I00-I09, I11, I13, I20-I51, I60-I69, and I70] in the United States (U.S.; 312.9 deaths/100,000 population in 2001 vs 224.7 deaths/100,000 population in 2009) and Mississippi (408.7 deaths/100,000 population in 2001 vs 303.6 deaths/100,000 population in 2009) have declined over the past decade, yet CVD remains the leading cause of death both nationally and in Mississippi [2]. In 2009, Mississippi CVD death rate were higher than the U.S. rate and were disproportionately higher for blacks (354.1 deaths/100,000 population) compared to whites Mississippians (282.8 deaths/100,000 population) [2]. Considering Mississippi's high CVD mortality rate and its disproportionate impact on the black population, preventing and reducing disparities due to CVD must remain a high priority issue for the state's public health professionals.
One way to reduce the burden of CVD is by targeting the prevention of CVD risk factors. An increased number of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity [3] can reduce associated disparities and mortality [4]. There is a critical need for primary prevention of major CVD risk factors because providing education and treating individuals with established risk factors may not effectively reduce CVD risk to a risk-level comparable to that of individuals who have never had CVD risk factors [4]. Wilkins and colleagues (2012) demonstrated that lifetime risk estimates for total CVD were high for all individuals, even those with optimal risk factors in middle age [5]. The prevalence of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors and how the prevalence of no known major CVD risk factors changed in the past 9 years have not been described.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with the Mississippi State Department of Health, through a 5-year cooperative agreement (the Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative, MDHC), are implementing policy, environmental and systems-change interventions to target the "ABCS" (appropriate use of aspirin for those eligible, blood pressure control, cholesterol management, and smoking cessation) of heart disease and stroke prevention in the Mississippi Delta, an 18-county region of the state with high CVD burden.
To support these efforts, this study analyzes changes in prevalence of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors using 2001 and 2009 Mississippi Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data. In addition, prevalence changes of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors were examined by sociodemographic characteristics.
Data source and study population
The BRFSS is a state-based, random digit-dialed telephone survey of the U.S. non-institutionalized civilian population, aged 18 years or older. The BRFSS is conducted in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 3 U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and has been approved by Human Research Review Boards from state departments of health. Detailed information about BRFSS is available at www.cdc.gov/brfss/.
Mississippi BRFSS data from 2001 (n = 3,043) and 2009 (n = 11,194, oversampled) were used for our analysis because all of the questions pertaining to the variables of interest were asked in these survey years. These variables include self-reported responses to questions regarding high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, current smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity. In addition, only respondents who self-identified as black or white were included in this analysis. In 2010, these racial groups accounted for 96.1% of the Mississippi population [6].
Sociodemographic characteristics assessed included age, race, sex, annual household income, educational level, and health insurance coverage. These characteristics were categorized as: age group in years (18–34, 35–49, 50–64, ≥65); annual household income (<$20,000; $20,000–$34,999; $35,000–49,999; ≥$50,000); educational level (<high school, high school or equivalent, some college, college graduate); and health insurance coverage (yes, no), with age as a cofounding variable.
CVD Risk factors
High blood pressure was defined as a "yes" response to the question, "Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse or other health professional that you have high blood pressure?" High cholesterol was defined as a "yes" response to the question, "Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse or other health professional that your blood cholesterol is high?" Diabetes was defined as a "yes" response to the question, "Have you ever been told by a doctor that you have diabetes?" Current smoking was defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes during the respondent's lifetime and currently smoking at the time of the survey. Obesity was defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30.0 kg/m2 or higher (calculated from self-reported height and weight) and was categorized as obese or not obese. Physical inactivity was defined as a "no" response to the question, "During the past month, other than your regular job, did you participate in any physical activities or exercise, such as running, calisthenics, golf, gardening, or walking for exercise?" Survey respondents who reported having none of these factors were defined as having no known major CVD risk factors.
Data were analyzed using SAS 9.3 (SAS Institute Inc.) to adjust for the disproportionate, stratified sampling design of the BRFSS and were weighted using post-stratification methods [7]. To allow for comparison between the years, the results were age-adjusted to the U.S. 2000 standard population. 95% Confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated, and differences in percentages were determined by t-test for the overall population and by sociodemographics characteristics using PROC DESCRIPT from SAS-callable SUDAAN 11.0.1 (RTI International). Significant differences in prevalence were determined at a p-value less than .05. This investigation was approved by the Mississippi State Department of Health Institutional Review Board.
Respondents' sociodemographic characteristics were similar for survey years, 2001 and 2009. The mean age of the respondents was 44.9 and 46.3 years in 2001 and 2009 respectively. Most of the respondents were white, female, and reported having health insurance coverage. A third of the respondents reported having a high school education or equivalent and over one in five reported having some college education or are college graduates (Table 1). Overall, the age-standardized prevalence of having no known CVD risk factors significantly decreased from 17.3% in 2001 to 14.5% in 2009 (p = 0.0091) (Table 2). The prevalence of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors significantly decreased from 2001 to 2009 for individuals aged 45–64 years (15.0%, vs 11.3% p = 0.0089); blacks (13.2%, vs 8.9% p = 0.0089); males (17.9%, vs13.5% p = 0.008); persons with a college education (30.8%, vs 25.2% p = 0.0483); persons with an annual household income of $20,000–34,999 (16.9%, vs11.6% p = 0.0147) and $35,000–49,999 (23.3%, vs 15.2% p = 0.0135); and persons with health insurance coverage (20.0%, vs 17.1% p = 0.0229), respectively (Table 2).

CVD is the leading cause of death in Mississippi and CVD rates in the state are higher than the national average [2]. The analytical results demonstrate that among adult Mississippians, the prevalence of having no known major CVD risk factors decreased significantly between 2001 and 2009. This finding is consistent with a national study that reported a similar decline in the prevalence of persons with no known risk factors for heart disease and stroke [8].
The analysis also revealed more specific patterns within this overall trend based on four sociodemographic and background variables: race, gender, socioeconomic status, and health insurance status. First, the results differed by race. Blacks, but not whites, in Mississippi experienced a significant decrease in the age-standardized prevalence of adults with no known major CVD risk factors. This finding supports a previous study that found that black adult Mississippians had a lower prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health than white adult Mississippians [9]. Further, in 2009, the age-standardized CVD death rate was 20.1% higher for black Mississippians than for white Mississippians [2]. Taken together, these findings underscore the need for culturally appropriate CVD primary prevention efforts to target black adults in Mississippi.
Second, the results of the study differed by gender. Males experienced a significant age-standardized decrease in the prevalence of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors but females did not. This result could explain previous findings that males had a higher CVD death rate than females in Mississippi [2]. Through the Barbers Reaching Out to Help Educate on Routine Screenings (B.R.O.T.H.E.R.S.) initiative, the MDHC is targeting high blood pressure and hypertension prevention among adult black males in the region [10].
Third, the results varied by socioeconomic status, which mirrors the result of previous studies [11, 12]. We found a decrease in the prevalence of having no known major CVD risk factors among participants with annual household income levels of $20,000–$34,999 and $35,000–$49,999, but not among participants with other income levels. In addition, we observed a decline in the prevalence of having no known major CVD risk factors among those with college degrees. In this analysis, higher education status was not associated with an increase in prevalence of no known major CVD risk factors. These results suggest that CVD primordial prevention programs in Mississippi, must take into account how socioeconomic characteristics shape CVD risk factor distribution in the population [13].
Finally, we found specific patterns related to health insurance status. In this analysis, we found that a majority of respondents reported having health insurance coverage, but we observed a significant decline in the prevalence of having no known major CVD among those who were insured. Previous research has shown that factors such as poor understanding of health conditions due to lack of a regular healthcare provider, cultural attitudes pertaining to healthcare systems, and lack of adherence to medical regimens influence the interaction between health insurance and CVD risk factor treatment and control [14].
The results of the current analysis shed light on previous findings and have several implications for the scholarly understanding of cardiovascular health as well as for future policy and practice in the healthcare sector. The declining prevalence of having no known major CVD risk factors may help explain the current high level of poor cardiovascular health status among Mississippi adults [9]. The results of the current study are congruent with a recent study examining CVD risk factor trends in the Mississippi Delta that found an increased prevalence of high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes among residents [15]. In Mississippi, the prevalence of age-standardized deaths due to CVD decreased from 408.7 deaths/100,000 population in 2001 to 303.6 deaths/100,000 population in 2009 (2). However, an increase in the prevalence of CVD risk factors, coupled with a decline in the prevalence of Mississippi adults who have no known major CVD risk factors may jeopardize this decline in CVD death rates in Mississippi.
The significant decrease in the prevalence of Mississippi adults (45–64 years) with no known major CVD risk factors in the current analysis should alert Mississippi public health professionals and local healthcare policy makers of the need to direct prevention and intervention strategies toward this age group because this decrease could eventually lead to an increase in CVD mortality. In addition, the decreasing prevalence of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors calls attention to the need for primary prevention strategies to focus on preventable health risk behaviors that contribute to these CVD risk factors (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity) [4]. The 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines on the treatment of blood cholesterol to reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular (ASCVD) risk in adults referred to lifestyle as the "foundation" for ASCVD risk reduction [16]. These lifestyle health behaviors include adhering to a heart healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, avoiding tobacco products, and maintaining a healthy weight [16].
Findings from this study are subject to the following limitations. First, because the BRFSS data are based on self-reports, CVD risk factor prevalence may be influenced by recall bias and the likelihood of participants offering socially desirable responses (e.g., underreporting weight, indicating that they do not currently smoke, and overstating physical activity) [17]. Second, this study did not assess preventive measures or treatment, or control for these risk factors. Third, 13.5% of participants with no known CVD risk factors did not report annual household income, and thus results based on household income may not reflect the whole population. Fourth, only 2001 and 2009 BRFSS data were assessed; we did not assess changes in risk factors between these years. Fifth, changes in the prevalence of risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure from 2001and 2009 may be due to changes in unawareness of these factors. Finally, we do not know whether the lower response rate in 2001 influenced the findings [8].
Monitoring and evaluation of health-risk behaviors are essential to developing intervention programs, promotion strategies, and health policies that address public health at multiple levels including state, territory, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area, and county [18]. Achieving an increase in the proportion of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors will help meet HP2020 [19] national target goals on these CVD risk factors. In addition, an increase in the proportion of Mississippi adults with no known major CVD risk factors could reduce the disproportionate high burden of CVD morbidity and mortality in the state. Community programs for CVD prevention have demonstrated favorable changes in overall CVD risk [20]. The Mississippi State Department of Health, in collaboration with CDC and other stakeholders, is currently implementing programs through the MDHC aimed at preventing and reducing heart disease, stroke, and associated risk factors in the Mississippi Delta (www.healthyms.com/MDHC). The findings of the current study can serve as a guide for local healthcare policy makers, public health professionals and stakeholders in developing intervention programs to prevent declines in cardiovascular risk and promote cardiovascular health especially among those aged 45–64 years, blacks, males, those with household incomes of $20,000–34,999 and $35,000–49,999. Future studies should examine the role of primary prevention in reducing CVD risk factors and incidence in Mississippi.

Easy Aloo Matar – spicy potato and green peas curry. Best enjoyed with plain rice or any Indian bread.
More often that not, the easiest recipes fail to make it to the blog. At least that's true for all my Indian recipes. So today for a change I thought of sharing with you guys a very simple Indian curry recipe. This is the type of curry that's made in Indian households everyday, at least in North India. The curries you eat in Indian restaurants, well those are made and relished on special occasions. Basic Indian food is very simple, straight forward and fuss free just like this easy Aloo Matar. Aloo=Potatoes and Matar=Green Peas so this is a potato and green peas curry and like most Indian curries, this is vegan too.
We cook potatoes with everything, from beans to gobi (cauliflower) to spinach to so much more that I have not shared on the blog. Aloo Matar is usually made during winters using fresh peas. I have obviously used frozen peas here because it's not everyday that I can find fresh green peas here! This recipe is for those who are new to Indian cooking or for those who are looking for quick and easy recipes.
Aloo Matar can me made dry (without adding any water) or with gravy (with water). I like both but I remember mom always made the one with gravy for dinner so I am sharing the same with you guys today. I used boiled potatoes in this recipe to cut short the cooking process. It makes the recipe so much simpler. Once you have the potatoes boiled, you need only 15 minutes to make this. The only time this recipe needs is the time taken to cook the tomatoes. Remember to cook it really well, around 10-12 minutes.
Heat oil in pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Then add ginger garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minute till the raw smell goes away.
Add the pureed tomatoes. Add little salt, give a stir and cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
Remove cover and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder. Add more salt as required at this point. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes.
After the tomatoes have cooked for more than 10 minutes, add 2 cups water.
Let it all come to a boil and then add cubed boiled potatoes and green peas to it. I have used frozen peas here which I put it warm water for 10 minutes before adding to the curry.
Cover the pan and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add chopped cilantro and mix.
Serve aloo matar with any bread of your choice. It's also great with plain rice.
* Add less water or no water for a dry aloo matar without any curry.
Spicy potato and green peas curry. Aloo Matar is best enjoyed with rice or any Indian bread. Vegan and gluten-free!
Heat oil in pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Then add ginger garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minute till the raw smell goes away.
Remove cover and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder. Adjust spice levels to taste.
Add more salt as required at this point. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve aloo matar with any bread of your choice. It's also great with plain rice.
I love the simple ingredients and wonderful flavour here, Manali.
I love how simple this recipe is. I love potato curry, and it's a nice healthy budget friendly meal too.
Wow this looks amazing Manali! I love aloo matar and this sounds so delicious! There's nothing I love more than potato curry! Yum!
Thanks Annie! Your recipe looked fantastic!
Sometimes easy recipe can be the hardest! This looks fantastic, Manali! I love the flavors in here, especially with the potatoes!
I'm sure my family will love this dish! Do you know how many cups of tomato purée are needed for this dish?
I am not exactly sure Megan, but maybe around 3/4 cup fresh tomato puree?
This looks like a super easy and super comforting meal, Manali! Perfect for an easy weeknight meal!
Thanks David! It's indeed very comforting!
I had this for the first time this past weekend at a restaurant we frequent and I loved it! I can't wait to try your version. I know it's going to be even better homemade!
I hope you give it a try! Thanks Jen!
Oh yum! This is one of my favorite Indian dishes…love anything with potatoes! Can't wait to try your version!
Sometimes the easiest recipes are the best and should be shared! I absolutely love potatoes and peas, so this dish sounds perfect to me!
You had me at spicy potatoes! This looks absolutely delicious, Manali! And I love how quick and easy this is to throw together! Cheers!
Love this dish! Looks beautiful! Pinning to try it!
This looks SO great Manali!! I love the spicy potatoes!!
I added 3 cardamom pods and a 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seed when I heated the cumin seed and boiled the potatoes with a whole jalapeno. Sooooo good!
Tonight I decided to make aloo matar with chickpeas added, so I googled aloo matar for some spice guidelines. I tend to go crazy and add a little bit of everything, so I wanted a more authentic flavor. Your recipe popped up and it was perfect! The only changes I made were: canned crushed tomatoes because I didn't have fresh, using powdered ginger in the tomatoes because I didn't have fresh. Everything was perfect and it cooked so much faster than my curries usually do on the stove! To go with the curry I made a mix of 2/3 steamed basmati rice and 1/3 quinoa. Since I'm bored with my own curries now and your recipe was so great I'll look forward to making many more! Thank you for such a great recipe, keep up the good work!

Q: Receive Select from Stored Procedure and get into an object in AspNet.Core I'm new to ASP.Net Core. Normally I send boolean from repository to execute stored procedure of Insert, Update or Delete:
public bool AddProduct(ProductInsertModel model)
{
    bool DoAddProduct()
    {
        try
        {
            using (var connection = _connectionManager.GetOpenConnection())
            {
                return connection.QueryFirstOrDefault<bool>("Product.usp_Product_Create",
                        param: model,
                        commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
            }
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           return false;
       }
   }

   return DoAddProduct();
}

ProductInsert model (sent from repository):
public class ProductInsertModel
{
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int BrandId { get; set; }
        public int SubcategoryId { get; set; }
        public int LanguageId { get; set; }
        public string ProductDetailName { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }

        public string CreatedBy { get; set; }
        public string ModifiedBy { get; set; }

}

Then I use ProductService to call the repository like this:
public bool Insert(ProductInsertModel model)
{
    bool DoInsert()
    {
        return _repo.AddProduct(model);
    }

    return DoInsert();
}

And finally in the controller, I call the ProductService:
public IActionResult Insert([FromBody]ProductInsertModel model)
{
        IActionResult DoInsert()
        {
            try
            {
                var rModel = _productService.Insert(model);
                return Ok(rModel);
            }

        using (var connection = _connectionManager.GetOpenConnection())
        {
           List<UserProfileModel> data =  connection.SelectMany<UserProfileModel>("User.usp_Get_UserProfile",
                    param: UserId,
                    commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);

return data;
}

*Create / Inherit similar model UserProfileViewModel in presentation layer.

*Fill this ViewModel by giving a call to service from controller.

Visiting the French city of Strasbourg, you experience what it is like to be an area that has seen tremendous conflict between various cultures over 2,000 years and the impacts seen today. From the German architecture of its buildings in the historic city center to the French language and food found throughout the city, Strasbourg is full of rich history that today embraces both its historic charm and its modern sensibility. This contrast between historic and modern is no more evident than cruising around the canals, passing 700 year-old half timber houses and then the next moment, passing the ultra-modern architecture of the European Union Parliment Building.
The city of Strasbourg is the capital of the French Region of Alsace, which for us Americans a "Region" is like a US State. Some Regions of France are more familiar — Champagne, Bourgogne, for example. But, one would be hard press to find a Region in France with a more colorful history than the Alsace Region!
In a country about the size of Texas, the Alsace Region is just a little larger than the US State of Delaware (Alsace is about 8200 square kilometers vs. 6500 square kilometers for Delaware). Traveling through the Region, you pass mainly gently rolling hills of farmland that has on its eastern border the Rhine River and Germany, and on its western border the Vosges Mountains. With this location between the Rhine River and the Mountains, the Alsace has changed ownership between France and Germany many, many times over the centuries due to designating where the border lies between both countries.
We visited the city of Strasbourg in the afternoon after leaving the mountain-top castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg. Information about this beautiful medieval castle can be found here at this previous blog post. The current population of Strasbourg is about 450k people, making it the 9th largest city in France.
After leaving the castle, we drove 30 minutes northeastward to Strasbourg. Strasbourg is a modern city, but its old, center part is absolutely stunning with postcard views around every corner and across every bridge!
This historic center is called Grande Ile (Grand Island) because a river flows to the city and canals have been diverted to form the island from which the city originated. The entire city center lies on this island, and has been listed as a World Hertiage Site by UNESCO.
Here's the history of Strasbourg summed up in one paragraph!
The first inhabitants of the area were the Celts around 1300BC, followed by the Romans around 12 BC, then followed by different German Tribes, Huns, Franks, Rome again (923-1262), the Germans again (1262-1332). In 1332, the town's citizens rebelled and they formed an independant free republic, then in 1348, half of the population died from the plague. This resulted in 1349 the Jewish people being blamed and 1,000 Jews were burned to death. Then, the Germans took over during the Protestant Reformation, then the French again during the Thirty Years' War, then the Germans again, then Napoleon claimed the city again for France, then the Germans again until the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI when it went back to France, then the Germans again during WWII, and then finally back to France in 1944.
Now THAT is some history!! The result is today a beautiful mix of French and German culture.
Strasbourg is a large city, but for us, the main attraction is the city center and the Grand Island. An icon for the city can be found almost exactly on the center of the island, and this is the Cathedral Notre Dame of Strasbourg.
Construction started in 1015 and ended 1439. The spire is 142m (466′) tall making it today the 6th tallest church in the world — the tallest in France.
During the Protestant Reformation, the cathedral became Lutheran and saw sermons by Martin Luther and John Calvin. During the French Revolution, King Louis XIV of France returned the cathedral to the Catholics, where today it remains a catholic cathedral still in use.
In 1352, an astronomical clock was constructed inside of the Cathedral that calculates the time of day, the year, the leap years, calculates Easter based on the first Sunday following the full moon that follows March 21st (the start of Spring).
The astronomical clock even shows the real alignment of the sun, Earth, and moon as well as the various solar and lunar eclipses. Keep in mind that this clock was built almost 700 years ago and did these calculations…this is way, way before computers!!
A special time to view this clock is at 12:30pm when the clock chimes and 18 inch tall figurines of Christ and the 12 Apostles turn around one after the other. Why 12:30pm? The clock's creator did not want the chiming of this clock to compete with the large bells of the church when they rang at 12pm. In order to see the clock at this time, you must be inside the cathedral by 11:30am. To try to maintain crowd control, the cathedral closes its doors from 11:30am to about 12:45pm.
In most large European cathedrals, typically you find reproduction stained glass windows, as most were damaged from the many wars during history. But, as Germany invaded Strasbourg during the beginning of World War II, the Germans had the foresight to remove the original 12th & 14th century stained glass windows for protection. The windows were taken to the German city of Heillbronn for protection deep in the salt mines located there.
Thankfully for us today, we can see the actual stained glass windows from the 12th & 14th centuries (the two large construction periods of the cathedral), as British & American bombing raids did damage portions of the church.
The outside of the cathedral is very imposing. Cathedrals during the Middle Ages were built high, upward for obvious reasons to be closer to God, as well as a symbol of wealth and power of the Catholic Church. The cathedral in Strasbourg is definitely Gothic architecture at its finest.
Just outside of the cathedral is a large square where people congregate in front of the cathedral with the spectacular views upward. Naturally, where there are people, there are street performers….and this one was so cute with his dog sleeping in his guitar case.
A famous resident of Strasbourg was Johannes Gutenberg, who in 1439 invented the first moveable type printing press (called the Gutenberg Printing Press — I guess originality in invention's names were lacking back in the day?). Prior to this press, books were made by handwriting the words…therefore, the Gutenberg Press allowed for books to be published faster resulting in more and more books to be available. Obviously, one of the first books to be printed in the new press was a copy of the Bible, which has come to be known as the Gutenberg Bible. In Strasbourg, you can visit the Gutenberg Museum to learn more about Gutenberg and his invention.
While on the topic of Museums, Strasbourg has many to choose to see. There is the Archaeological Museum, Museum of Modern & Contemporary Art, Museum of Decorative Arts, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum Oeuvre Notre Dame, but probably the best to see is the Alsatian Museum. This Museum is one of art and folk tradition of the people who lived and made up the Alsace Region.
But, for me, the real charm about Strasbourg is the section of the old city center on the Grand Island known as "Petite France". This section is dominated by the canals that encircle 700 year-old half timber homes.
Most of the buildings were built during the Middle Ages and were used as slaughter & tanning houses (i.e., the hides from the animals were tanned various colors). Eventually, the establishments left and became houses. Today, most are used as hotels, restaraunts, store fronts, with some still used as houses.
Several of the half-timber buildings have beautiful flower boxes outside the windows, which add just a perfect touch to the surroundings, especially on the day we visited where the weather was on and off rain showers.
We took a boat tour around the Grand Island with the tour company Batorama. Boats leave the main dock every 20 minutes, and takes an hour to pass around the canals, while admiring all of the different buildings along the way. We highly recommend this hour long trip around the island on the canals.
Passing by the buildings, whether on foot or by canal boat, you do feel like are within scenes from a fairytale. Even though some of the buildings may look crooked, it still stands after 450 years! Notice just above the lower window where it says established in 1572 — crazy!
Strasbourg is also home to the European Union Parliment. The EU holds sessions here in Strasbourg as well as in Brussels and Luxembourg. The EU buildings are modern, glass buildings a few miles away and is a stark contrast to these buildings for sure.
With the passing rain showers, the sun would come out resulting in the various colors of leaves and flowers to stand out against the grey ominous clouds.
The only boat traffic are the canal tour boats and the occasional kayak, which makes for an extremely peaceful view or stroll along the canals.
Even if the building doesn't have flower boxes, the painted shutters add that extra color to the half-timber buildings.
After spending about 4 hours in Strasbourg, we made our 2 hour return drive back home to Germany. Strasbourg is a definite must-see city for anyone spending time in this part of Germany or France. While traveling to Strasbourg as a day trip from Paris by train in 3 hours is okay, but if this is your plan then do stay the night in one of the hotels along the canal before returning back.
One last comment about Strasbourg is that the city is famous today as holding one of the largest Christmas Markets in Europe from late November to late December that started back in 1570! This is definitely a visit will return this winter to see firsthand!


Imagine how many people have been on the flight before you. Ground handling staff may clean the lavatory, but in that short window of taking off again, you cannot sterilize the entire plane. This leaves the passengers with oodles of germs surrounding you unknowingly. Travelmath.com sent a microbiologist to this air-travel breeding ground and these are the germ-infested surfaces on the airplane.
*the finding is measured in colony-forming units (CFUs) per square inch.
The food is hygienically packed, but how often is the tray tables reused? The fact that it is the dirtiest place on the plane speaks for itself. The thought of eating from it, will make your stomach churn.
2) Drinking Fountain Button: 1,240 CFU/sq. in.
Getting off or on the plane, buy bottled water than sipping at the public water fountain. Unless the airports replaced the button with sensors. If you can prolong your thirst, you will be served water on the flight.
Firstly, the circulated air in the plane is infested and stale, and when you stretch to adjust the air vents you are getting exposed to 285 CFU/sq. in of germs. With the surge of air travel, airlines fail the germ test.
You may not touch the other items, but you have to flush. If you don't, shame on you. Each flight, each passenger will have to use the lavatory and if it is a long-distance flight, the bacteria breeds in such spots.
It will keep you save in an emergency, but it is exposing you to bacteria left behind by the pervious passenger. The small things are the breeding ground for bacteria as they are rarely cleaned.
Guess hygiene is not on top of the list for few passengers. How you wash your hands, protects you from germs and you are not an instrument for spreading germs.
Carry your hand sanitizer in a transparent 100ml container (3.4 ounce).
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and flush out bacteria.
When in the wash room, thoroughly wash your hands with hot water and soap.
Maintain personal hygiene—wear clean socks, clothes, and do not clean your ears, using dental floss or clipping your fingernails. Before the flight, eat healthy and pile on vitamin C to boost your immunity. Stay clean, stay healthy!

Show of the week: 'Jungle War'
By Richard Middleton
30th July 2019 @ 11:47
Jungle War (4 x 60 minutes) is a doc series about some of the lesser-known conflicts of WWII and beyond – those fought in some of the world's most hostile and challenging environments.
It takes in WWII campaigns fought in the jungles of Asia/Pacific – from the Solomon Islands and New Guinea to Borneo and Burma – and post-war conflicts in Malaysia, East Timor, Vietnam and parts of Central and South America.
The series, from Australian factual producer Wildbear Entertainment, combines archive footage, expert commentary and personal testimony, together with contemporary footage – building on Wildbear's slate of war documentaries such as Total War and Hitler's Propaganda Machine, which have sold widely through DRG.
The origins of Jungle War started with the idea that battling against the elements can be just as fatal as fighting a war. In Australia, where production was based, stories of fighting on the Kokoda Track and the prisoners of war on the Thai-Burma Railway are part of the national identity.
"The creative team wanted to look at similar stories on an international level," says DRG's EVP of sales Elin Thomas.
As such, the documentary investigates many of the elements that are specific to jungle warfare — from the way armies have adapted their supply lines, mobility plans and tactics, to the humidity and density of fighting in the jungle. Key throughout, however, is the human element of fighting in such difficult terrain.
Thomas notes the delivery of Jungle War is timely, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the start of WWII later this year. "WWII provides a very rich seam for documentary-makers, but the jungle conflicts are one of the least covered subject areas."
Jungle War has been acquired by France's Histoire. Other target territories are CEEMEA, Germany, Scandinavia, Australia and Asia.
Distributor: DRG
Producer: Wildbear Entertainment
Logline: A doc series on battles fought in uncompromising jungle environments

Queensland Traffic Offenders Program Now Available Online
Uber legal in Queensland from 5 September 2016
Another great win for a Go To Court Lawyers expert
Go To Court Lawyers expert wins difficult traffic case
Driving for Work in Queensland
Traffic Law | Queensland | Offences | Driving Whilst Suspended in Queensland
Driving on a suspended drivers licence in Queensland may have very serious penalties including fines, a term of imprisonment and further periods of disqualification. The traffic law imposes significant penalties for the offence of driving whilst suspended in Queensland in an effort to decrease the instances of road accidents and fatalities in the state. If you find yourself charged with driving with a suspended or cancelled licence, it is important that you be aware of your rights and obligations. Below is a general summary of the offences that you may be charged with, the penalties you may face and any defences that may apply to your situation.
The Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 makes it an offence to drive a vehicle unless the person holds a valid driver's licence in Queensland. Please note that driving without a valid licence includes circumstances where the individual is suspended from driving or where their licence has expired. This offence does not include circumstances where the alleged offender has had their licence disqualified as this is a different offence which carries a separate penalty.
In order for the Police and/or court to be satisfied that an offence has been committed under the Act, the following must be proven;
The offender was the driver of a motor vehicle on a public road; and
The offender did not hold a valid drivers licence; and
Did not hold a valid drivers licence in Queensland due to:
Never being the owner of a drivers licence; or
The alleged offenders licence was suspended or had expired prior to the incident.
If these elements are satisfied, the offender may be liable for a fine and/or imprisonment. The punishment that is handed down will vary depending on the severity of the circumstances and whether there were any intervening factors.
Fines and/or imprisonment
The Magistrates Court will usually hear this type of matter. The penalty for a first time offender includes a fine of $4,400 or a term of imprisonment not exceeding 1 year. However, if the alleged offender has not committed a similar offence within the previous 5 years of the current incident, the Police have the discretion to issue an infringement notice (a fine) of up to $4,400.
Licence disqualification period
It is also important to note that in circumstances where an offender is convicted of an offence under the Act, the Courts must also impose a period of disqualification even if no other punishment has been handed down. If you have been charged with driving without a valid licence, you will be disqualified from obtaining a licence for a period of up to 6 months.
Driving while disqualified in Queensland is a separate offence with separate penalties. A person's licence may have been disqualified due to a drink driving offence, a dangerous driving offence or a criminal offence involving a motor vehicle.
It is important to note however that if the offender committed the offence whilst they were already disqualified from obtaining a licence, the maximum fine that may be handed down by the Magistrates court is $6,000 or up to 18 months imprisonment. You will also be given a further period of licence disqualification between 2 years and 5 years depending on the circumstances of your case.
There may be a valid defence that applies to your situation. The most common defences considered by the Courts are:
The offender actually did hold a valid licence at the time of the offence.
The offender was not driving on a public road subject to the Act at the time of the offence.
The offender was not suspended from driving on valid grounds and/or there is a dispute as to the validity of the person's licence.
The offender was forced to drive whilst suspended due to a threat of violence or other type of duress.
The offender was forced to drive whilst suspended due to an emergency that is considered extraordinary.
Other more serious defences such as insanity or mistaken identity require a higher standard of evidence and should always be discussed with a lawyer prior to your court hearing.

IBM was talking about adding "database functionality" to POWER a while ago; I don't know if an auxiliary lookup engine is part of that.

Politician Essays
Moope In Moliere's Misanthrope
How does people always make false faces in front of somebody? Did we get used with being a pretender to others? "Misanthrope" is a comic play created by Moliere.

In Moliere's play Alceste is another example of
Plato's Protagoras Analysis
Plato's Protagoras is a dialogue of much debate that allows for the readers to look further and to bring into question the argument on virtue for themselves. It is not something to be taken whole-heartedly since Plato is throwing different theories about virtue around in this dialogue. Socrates, one of the main characters was always fixated on virtue, especially the concept of defining and teaching virtue, and whether or not it can actually be taught. However, one must keep in mind that Socrates
Gratifications Theory Of Social Media
While the uses and gratifications theory primarily represents a bottom-up approach, examining the motivations behind the interaction of people with media, institutional mediatization can be seen as a top-down approach. It argues that culture and society increasingly depend on media and that institutions within society are altered through their logic (Bolin, 2014). Moreover, "media have become integrated into the operations of other social institutions, while they also have acquired the status of

Pros And Cons Of Being A Politician
Politicians occupy a very special place in our society. As voters, we choose them to make the rules that we all have to live by, and as taxpayers, we trust them to take some of our money and spend it in a way that benefits us all. It's perhaps unsurprising then, that being a politician is not like any other job. If you're reading this it's because you want to become a politician. Great!

Gender Stereotypes In Politics
Picture a world where no politicians existed and everyone had equal power to do whatever the heart desired. Many people would agree that the world would be a better place due to the many negative stereotypes about the group, yet if one were to think hard the world would be in complete chaos without its leaders. It is so often that appearances and attitudes play a major role in how a person is distinguished and little consideration goes to getting to know that individual. The usage of stereotypes
Harold D. Lasswell's Definition Of Politics
Undoubtedly politics is "the study of influence and the influential", there is most certainly truth in Harold D.Lasswell's definition of politics. Throughout the course of this essay the study of politics will be examined in relation to Laswell's definition.

The Pros And Cons Of Politics In Politics
The reason why we choose politicians as the most distrusted profession because many people debates have become shouting matches filled with insults and half-truths instead of forums for political candidates to express opposing points of view. Add that to politicians taking kick-backs, cheating on their spouses and lying to their constituents. It 's not hard to see why politicians have gained a bad reputation. The politicians are generally elected officials who run the federal government and state
The Pros And Cons Of Impression Management

Essay On Hitler's Government
politician's Dream or Nightmare? Did Hitler's government help or hinder the rise of Nazi politicians? The politicians that will be analysed are Hermann Goering, Joseph Goebbels and Reinhard Heydrich.

think that lobbyist should provide favors to politicians, so that the politicians will vote on a bill in the lobbyist's favor even though lobbyists go after those politicians that have no position on an issue.

Then why politician as an actor is different from entrepreneur who
Walzer's Arguments In The Prince
In his piece, Walzer puts forth some new, original arguments, but his commentary is securely anchored in the teachings of Machiavelli. Walzer's piece is ultimately concerned with rulers, our modern politicians, and how their actions, the good and mostly bad, affect their amount of power and their level of success. In The Prince Machiavelli meticulously outlines not only how to be a successful leader, but how to gain control of a nation. While Walzer's
Donald Trump's Speech Analysis
Nowadays, there is no difference between politicians. American politicians deliver the same message to the people—elaborating on the pitfalls of the United States to acknowledge their ideas and importance to the nation. They ramble on and on about how they will improve and rejuvenate America, but fail to provide concrete solutions. Apart of the group of politicians, Donald Trump, for example, discusses specifically in his speech, at the Iowa Freedom Summit, how he will "succeed in: creating jobs;

Wine School – Week 2! – It's Wine By Me!
Wine School – Week 2!
Last night's class was all about varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot. But it's impossible to talk about those grapes without lessons in winemaking, climate and geography. It served as a wonderful reminder of how well-rounded studying wine can be.
There's less sulfer in a bottle of wine, than in trail mix. The sulfer dioxide that many people are afraid of helps keeps grapes oxidized, it fights mildew in the vineyards and fights against yeast and bacteria in the wine.
Even though Burgundy is usually associated with Pinot Norir, more than 60 percent of the region is planted with Chardonnay.
The hotter the season, the more rapidly acid falls. Wines from cooler climates have higher acidity levels than those from warm and hot climates.
A lot of Chardonnay now grows in China and North India, too.
Irrigation is not (or very rarely) allowed in Burgundy, unless you obtain special permission, which is hard to do.
A fair guestimate that about 95 percent of all wines don't get better with bottle age.
New Zealand now makes more Sauvignon Blanc than France.
Our instructor highly recommends trying a White Bordeaux from the Pessac Leognan winegrowing area of Graves.
2012 was a fabulous year for Oregon Pinot Noir.
Probably the most important take away from this class – not related to the formal lesson plan – is that it confirmed my general dislike of many Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux (red) wines (we tasted both a Bordeaux and a California in class). Even when blended with other grapes. Sadly for now, those green bell pepper flavors don't agree with my palate. I'm not going to give up on them, and with food pairings and age, maybe I'll eventually grow to like them.
As for that empty Bordeaux bottle I posted at the top of this page, I did enjoy the wine, but I didn't ask for a second glass. Instead, I reached for some Burgundy.


Humans have been explored space since the beginning of the ages. In Camarillo Observatory we are researching the mysteries of universe as well as observing new and unknown space objects. Lately it has come to attention that the Speed of light has various and unknown possibilities e.g. it could be possible to do time travel as well as travelling to distant galaxies and realities. Scientists and astronomers nowadays research various possibilities and quantum physic theories of what could happen when moving at such a speed. Universe is also expanding with unbelievable speeds that relates to string theory.
US landed the first person on moon more than 40 years ago and enormous rocket speeds were developed – more than 10000 m/h. Much lower speeds however are made on land, water and air. Since than only 12 people have walked on the moon and none of them more than once. It seems that nowadays instead of space exploration scientists tend to explore the speeds achievable on our beloved earth. Planes, cars, motorbikes, boats and other vehicles have been developed to such an extent that they can develop enormous and speeds. Planes and various cars go over ultrasonic speed nowadays and it seems that with speeds like that universe comes conquerable. Some of these speedy vehicles could even be used in space exploration, such as the new Mars shuttle – Couriosity, that landed on Mars in 2012.
Speed freaks, manufacturers and scientists compete every year in developing the fastest vehicles on the earth. Nowadays they can develop speeds even above 500 m/h thanks to new engine systems, reactive turbines and new materials. Fast cars has always attracted people, the speed and power developed by engine can fancy even an average Sunday driver. Some of fastest cars in New Zealand and speed freaks can be found here: http://nzspeedfreaks.com/. Some amazing and fast cars can be discovered in NZ speed freaks – with hundreds of latest videos of speedy cars and other vehicles.

Internet Brands, an Internet media company operating a collection of community and e-commerce websites.
Internet Brands, Inc. (previously NASDAQ: INET) was a unique and high-profile Internet media company. INET owned and operated more than 100 websites that were leaders in their respective vertical markets. These sites included ApartmentRatings.com, CarsDirect.com, CruiseReviews.com, DavesGarden.com, DoItYourself.com, FitDay.com, FlyerTalk.com, HealthNews.org, Loan.com, Wikitravel.org and many more. In total, these sites organically attracted (without paid marketing) approximately 58 million unique visitors per month at the time of Battery's investment. The vast majority of its sites also boasted very strong community participation.
INET was also unique in its ability to monetize Internet audiences. The company's proprietary platform optimized yields from its more than 40,000 direct advertisers spanning seven vertical categories. The platform was also core to the company's acquisitions strategy, providing a cost-efficient and scalable approach to expanding the company's online footprint.
In March 2009, Battery made a growth-equity investment in the public company.
Outcome:
In September 2010, Internet Brands was acquired by private-equity investment firm Hellman & Friedman in a take-private transaction valued at approximately $640 million.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and there can be no assurance that Battery or its portfolio companies will achieve comparable results.

Q: Send PDF as byte[] / JSON problem I am trying to send a generated PDF file (Apache FOP) to the client. I know this can be done  by writing the array to the response stream and by setting the correct content type, length and so on in the servlet. My problem is that the whole app was built based on the idea that it will only receive/send JSON. In the servlet's service() method, I have this:
  response.setContentType("application/json");
  reqBroker.process(request, response);

RequestBroker is the class who processes the JSON (jackson processor), everything is generic and I cannot change  it. On top of this, I have to receive the JSON from the request correctly, to access the data and generate my pdf. So those two lines are necessary. But when I send the response, I need to have another content type so that the pdf is displayed correctly in the browser.
   So far, I am able to send the byte array as part of the JSON, but then I don't know how to display the array as PDF on the client (if smth like this is even possible).
   I would like some suggestions on how can I send my pdf and set the right header, without messing with the JSON. Thanks.

A: JSON and byte arrays don't mix.
Instead, you should create an <iframe> and point it to a URL that returns a raw PDF.

A: Take a look here:How to send pdf in json, it lists couple of approaches that you can consider. The easiest way is to convert the binary data into string by using Base64 compression. In C#, this would mean a call to Convert.FromBase64String. However this has space overhead as Base64 compression means around +33% more memory. If you can get away with it, this is the least complicated solution. in case additional size is an issue you can think about zipping it up.
