Streaming in Italy up over 1/4 for 2020, making over 80% of their music industry
By Jacca-RouteNote September 23, 2020 3 mins read
Despite the potential downturn from COVID, Italy's music industry has grown in the first half of 2020 thanks to huge streaming growth.
Near the start of the year, forecasts for Italy's economy were not looking good as the impact of Coronavirus made of the earliest big impacts in the country. Despite predictions of losses across the board, their music industry has still seen growth in the first half of 2020.
The latest IFPI report shows that Italy's recorded music industry saw 2.1% growth for H1 2020, compared to the same period last year. Over 80% of their H1 earnings came from music streaming revenues which increased by a huge 26.4% year on year.
Physical music revenues were however, unsurprisingly, down significantly for the period. Physical music sold 47.9% less than in the first half of 2019 following continuing trends that were worsened by the impact of Coronavirus and people spending less because of that.
Music streaming now makes up a huge majority in the earnings for the music industry in Italy and is helping it to continue earning and growing even in such difficult times of losses elsewhere. Italy's leading music analysts, FIMI, found that older audiences were taking up streaming this year which helped to grow it so significantly.
FIMI CEO, Enzo Mazza said: "We saw an increase in adults using the streaming services. The so-called lockdown economy gave a strong push to digital in Italy and a lot of adult consumers turned to E-Commerce and streaming."
It's interesting to see how much streaming has grown in Italy and the impact of that. Music streaming is huge but there are many people who still don't use it. If more generations have been picking the format up this year then we could be seeing a spectacular year for digital music.

BURMA (Myanmar) launched a new public transport system in its largest city on Monday, for the first time introducing regular bus lines, timetables and salaries for drivers in a move that could transform the lives of some five million Yangon city dwellers.
The reform is the largest public-facing project with immediate impact on the city where country leader Aung San Suu Kyi won big in historic 2015 election, and a major test for her ability to meet the sky-high expectations of the public.
With parliamentary by-elections looming in April, Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) has overhauled the chaotic network of some 4,000 rickety public transport vehicles, half of them in use for more than 20 years, according to government data.

Sometimes, when thinking about how to sell homes, it can be useful to go back to the basics. If you find something holding you back from your goals, it's always useful to ask yourself whether you're executing the fundamentals as well as you can be. For surprising numbers of Realtors out there, one or more of the items listed below are known to fall through the cracks.
Pricing is, beyond doubt, the single most important step in securing a successful sale. This is something every Realtor knows in principle, but, surprisingly enough, there are still some agents who advise the use of price per square foot (PPSF) as a value indicator. PPSF may well be a standard for appraisers and tax collectors, but neither of these parties is tasked with actually selling the home and working out what price the current market will bear.
For a realtor's purposes, PPSF is only a meaningful measure of value if all the homes of a given square footage in a neighborhood are otherwise identical, which in most cases is extremely unlikely. Agents may, of course, encounter clients who want a valuation in PPSF, because they believe this reflects fair market value. There's nothing to stop them from providing it, so long as they explain its limitations and avoid actually using PPSF as the primary guideline for pricing the listing. A comparative market analysis is far more reliable.
It's a commonplace piece of Realtor wisdom by now that photos and videos are among the most important tools for marketing a property in the digital age. And yet, despite this, there are enough blurry, poorly composed, ill-conceived and badly Photoshopped images on MLS to provide the subject matter for an entire website in itself. The reason for this is simple enough: Knowing intellectually that quality photos are important is one thing, but actually acquiring the skills and visual judgment to be able to take and use them in marketing is a different step altogether.
Taking good photos is not necessarily in everyone's skill set. Appraise the kinds of images you're using with brutal honesty, and ask yourself if you're one of those people. If so, it's likely worthwhile to invest in hiring a professional real estate photographer to help. At the very least, you'll want to peruse some lists of tips and tricks, although this will be most effective if you can understand and implement the content of posts aimed at the photographically proficient.
The Multiple Listings Service is the starting point of getting the word out about a property, not the end. Granted it takes some time, effort and investment to build your own website that generates consistent traffic, and to reinforce that site by learning how to use social media tools like Pinterest, LinkedIn and Google+ properly. It's likewise an investment of energy and care to ensure that all the other materials being used in your marketing efforts — including printed materials like brochures — are top-notch. But the difference it makes is very real.

YEAR IN REVIEW FINANCE...
YEAR IN REVIEW FINANCE
The last year has been an eventful one for the financial sector. Right from the get-go, banks and insurance firms were subject to monumental changes in their respective industries, often at the behest of central bank officials. The year saw the introduction of full-fledged interest-free banks, the surfacing of mortgage banking, and two banks receive operational licenses, the first time the industry is welcoming newcomers in almost a decade. The financial sector is likely to continue changing at a rapid pace as new technologies are introduced and the country's banked population grows. A glance at what transpired over the past year may give insight into what is expected in the near future.
Demonetisation Kicks Off
For the fifth time over the past century, the government carries out a demonitisation process, introducing a 200 Br denomination and changing the colours and security features of the 100 Br, 50 Br and 10 Br notes. People with over 100,000 Br cash on hand were instructed to go to banks and change out their notes within a month while the entire process was wrapped up in three months. The new procedure also compelled people with over 10,000 Br in cash to open a bank account.
Central Bank Allows Import Using Forex Retention Accounts
A directive issued by the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) permits exporters to use their foreign currency retention accounts to import different items including pharmaceutical products, agricultural inputs, chemicals, manufacturing inputs, motor oil, and baby formula, as well as edible oil, wheat and sugar. The previous directive limited the account holders to use their forex only to finance direct business and effect current payments.
Pioneer Interest-Free Bank Secures License
ZamZam Bank receives an operating license from the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), making it the pioneer full-fledged, interest-free bank in the country. The central bank also approved the appointment of Melika Bedri, former chief financial officer at the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, as the first president of ZamZam.
Oromia Insurance Awards HQ Contract to Chinese Firm
Jiangxi Corporation for International Economic & Technical Cooperation, a Chinese state-owned firm, wins the contract to build a new headquarters for Oromia Insurance for 1.1 billion Br. Construction is scheduled to finish in three years' time in the heart of Mexico Square, an area quickly developing into the financial district of Addis Abeba. The firm had previously built Wegagen Bank's headquarters securing the deal for one billion Birr, not far from where its new project is taking place.
Insurance Firms Compelled to Invest in T-Bills
A circular issued by the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) requires insurance companies to invest at least 40pc of their assets in treasury bills (T-bills). Insurance executives, already discontented with the Investment of Insurance Funds Directive, claiming that it did not give them room to invest in areas with good returns, are unhappy with the new rule.
Further Transaction Limits
Following bill note changes, the central bank had set limits on the amount of cash that can be withdrawn and the number of transactions that can be made in a week. Individual account holders are not allowed to withdraw more than 50,000 Br a day while businesses have a limit of 200,000 Br a day. Customers were also prohibited from making more than five transfers a week to others.
Amhara Bank Makes Headway with Strong Capital
Amhara Bank, one of the under-formation banks, holds its first general assembly in preparation to join the industry with a paid-up capital of close to six billion Birr. When the Bank goes operational, it will be among the few newcomers to join the banking sector since 2012, a year when two private banks were established – Debub Global and Enat.
Central Bank Cuts Cash-holding Limit
The National Bank of Ethiopia reduces the cash holding limit for businesses from 1.5 million Br to just 200,000 Br. Effective as of March 8, 2020, the adjustment also applies to individuals, whose cash holding limit is also reduced from 200,000 Birr to 100,000 Birr.
Changes Made to Diaspora, Retention Accounts
The central bank orders one-third of export earnings and inward remittance be surrendered to its coffers automatically. Just under half of the remaining 70pc, or 31.5pc of the total, is available for the exporter in a retention account while the balance remains with the respective bank. Diaspora account holders that receive inward remittance are also subject to the 30pc initial surrender. A new directive dictating the establishment and operation of diaspora accounts prohibits holders from importing non-essential items.
Paid-up Capital Requirement Grows Tenfold
For the first time in a decade, the central bank issues a directive compelling all commercial banks to meet a threshold capital of five billion Birr in five years' time. Banks that have entered the market recently, and those in the process of incorporation, are given seven years to comply. It is a tenfold increase from the previous threshold of 500 million Br.
State Telco Expands to Mobile Money
Telebirr, a mobile money service of Ethio Telecom officially kicks off during a lavish ceremony on May 11, 2021. Within months, the service garnered more than six million users. Ethio telecom targets to have 33 million people subscribed to Telebirr in five years' time and aims to transact 3.5 trillion Br, almost half of the country's GDP, through the platform by 2025.
Accounts in Tigray Frozen, Again
Several bank accounts opened in Tigray Regional State are frozen days after the federal government declared a humanitarian unilateral ceasefire, and authorities in Addis Abeba said they withdrew federal forces from the region on June 28, 2021. Unlike the first freeze in November 2020, authorities at the central bank left the decision to the banks' discretion, cautioning them to manage risks while the regional state is cut off from the rest of the country.
Central Bank Imposes New Limits on Fintech Firms
Foreign nationals of Ethiopian origin are allowed to invest only in foreign currency should they get into the business of payments system operators or instrument issuers. The new rule comes into force just a year after the central bank partially liberalised the digital payment market. The companies are responsible for making sure all shareholders are compliant with the directive and submitting a compiled document to the central bank.
New Banks Nominate Industry Veterans
Ahadu Bank nominates Eshetu Fantaye, former head of Bunna Bank, as its first president, and Amhara Bank picks Henok Kebede, serving Dashen Bank as a senior executive, as its founding president. Ahadu Bank has raised over 740 million Br in subscribed capital from 9,600 shareholders, 545 million Br of which is paid up. The banks have formally submitted requests for operational licenses.
Central Bank Orders Banks Freeze Loans
The National Bank of Ethiopia orders all commercial banks to suspend the issuance of all collateral-based loans. The directive was communicated through text message and includes the disbursement of loans that have already been approved.
More Changes
The beginning of September saw additional regulations issued by the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE). Commercial banks are obligated to double their reserve ratio to 10pc, effective September 1, 2021. Banks are also obligated to buy government-guaranteed Development Bank of Ethiopia (DBE) bonds, allocating one percent of their loans and advances while insurance firms are required to allocate 15pc of their net income for the bonds.

Memorial Day 2010; RIP Dennis Hopper
Monday, May 31, 2010 - 08:00 AM
MEMORIAL DAY has become -- in the minds of some -- a day devoted to uncovering their swimming pools and barbeques. So take a moment (preferably at 3 p.m. local time) to remember what it's really about. Read about Joyce Johnson and the "Arlington Ladies" who attend every funeral in Arlington National Cemetery, to ensure no soldier is buried alone. While I'm not a big believer in the hackneyed journalism of "grim milestones," it's an appropriate moment to mark the 1000th death of a US serviceman in Afghanistan. And to re-read "A Death in the Family," as powerful as it was when Christopher Hitchens wrote it in 2007. Revisit the Mudville Gazette for items like William Wyler's footage of the last mission of the Memphis Belle and Alfred Hitchcock's footage of the liberation of the Belsen concentration camp. The Wikipedia entry for Memorial Day notes a race track connection unrelated to the Indy 500. It's a good day -- as good as we are liekly to get -- for Sgt. Barry Sadler's No. 1 smash, "Ballad of the Green Beret." or the movie adaptation of Gen. George S. Patton's "Speech to the Third Army." As "Greyhawk" writes at the Mudville Gazette, "This is Memorial Day weekend. Enjoy it. Celebrate it - the people who died to give you that right would appreciate it. But they didn't die peaceably in their beds, these dogs who fell protecting sheep from wolves."
DENNIS HOPPER, who debuted in "Rebel Without a Cause," changed the face of Hollywood by directing and acting in "Easy Rider," spun completely out of control with substance abuse, and made a stunning comeback in 1986 with both "Hoosiers" and "Blue Velvet," died Saturday after a long battle with prostate cancer. Hopper was 74, though that's just the years, not the mileage. Though that "Blue Velvet" clip would be my tribute, Elizabeth Banks is right that Hopper's scene with Chistopher Walken in "True Romance" is a "cinematic Ali v. Frazier.'' Of course, both clips warrant a content warning, so consider yourself warned.

Marius Vizer: Judo achievements over the last two decades directly related to George Kerr
by Mark Pickering - IJF IJF Media Team / International Judo Federation
George Kerr is one of the biggest personalities in judo. He recently celebrated his 80th birthday and in this occasion he wrote a book. The IJF met with George Kerr in his hometown Edinburgh.
George Kerr is jovial, and his rolling Scottish accent makes you want to spend hours listening to his stories of the evolution of judo. As the man stated in his book, which was officially released on the occasion of the Suzuki Judo World Championships in Budapest last August, getting to the 10th dan has been a 'real journey' through time and through the successive revolutions of judo.
Mr. Marius Vizer, the IJF President, declared: "I have always respected and appreciated George Kerr. It is my conviction that many of the achievements in judo over the last two decades are directly related to him. I consider George to be an important chapter in the history, present and future of judo."
In the introduction of his book, George Kerr said: "I am at an age where I have no need, nor desire to tell any lies. I am to old not to tell the truth now." And in fact, Mr. George Kerr not only opened his house but he also opened his heart during the exclusive interview that he gave to the IJF at the beginning of July.
Having celebrated his 80th birthday this summer, George Kerr is still an active judoka; he enjoys being on the tatami and beyond everything he loves to transfer his incredible knowledge and philosophy to the younger generations.

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has been getting a lot of media heat for having accepted a Purple Heart medal from retired Army Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman this week, especially because he stated at the time that it was much easier receiving it as a gift versus being awarded it for being wounded in combat.
Speaking on Fox News on Wednesday, however, Dorfman refuted the accusations being lodged by liberal media pundits that Trump was ungrateful for the gift.
"It's been taken out of context," he said, according to The Washington Times. "He told me backstage how much an honor it was."
Listen to his full statement below:
Dorfman also expounded on why he gave the GOP nominee the medal in the first place. He thinks he will make the best president — just like other combat veterans do.
"I thought he was going to make a very good commander in chief, and I wanted him to have that medal in his hand to remember all the people who have fought and died for this country," Dorfman said.
Ever since Dorfman gave Trump the medal as a sincere gesture of faith in the candidate's capability to be a good leader, the entire liberal mainstream media complex has been in 100 percent attack mode, using every opportunity available to denigrate the billionaire candidate.
From calling him ungrateful to falsely claiming that he dodged the draft (according to PolitFact, Trump in fact had a medical deferment), the media have managed to twist the candidate's humble acceptance of Dorfman's Purple Heart medal into a scandal of epic proportions.
But according to Dorfman, there is no scandal, and there should never have been one. In other words, the media have essentially used this veteran's actions to smear Trump — and that in itself seems like a far more wanton act of disrespect than anything the GOP nominee has ever done.
Please share this story on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think about how the media have twisted this Purple Heart medal recipient's actions to make Trump look bad!

OMG, I love this! Speaks right to the heart of my own insecurity… thanks for sharing it.
I'm so glad this post resonated with you, fairbetty. That's the reason I started blogging to begin with: to connect with other writers. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I really really love your blog. And this describes me perfectly. Thanks very much!
Good to hear from you again, maisymak! Thanks for dropping in, and I hope your writing is going well.
Good for you. Well said.
We have for too long been credentials-happy in our society. We want guarantees, and credentials often are not a guarantee at all.
You write very well, and your analyses of Rowling's work are spot on and valuable.
Thanks so much, Bill! And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment—positive feedback is always appreciated.
You're a somebody to me. Sometimes just one person believing in you is enough. I believe.
I stumbled upon your blog as I do so many others: click, click, clicking on hypertext in other blogs. This time it was through Larry Brooks'. All I have to say on this topic of yours is wow and thank you.
At 56 I feel like I'm becoming who I was meant to be at 20, but I let other people and events get in my way. I followed their advice, not my inner voice which told me WRITE!!! And now I'm at a point in my life with full control over what I want to do. I just hope it's not too late.
I don't have that magic piece of paper that tells the world I qualify. After a life-threatening illness filled with many epiphanies, I decided to go for that credibility that seems so in demand. Until a close friend asked me simply: "Why bother at this point?" She reminded me that I already knew how to write, I'm not dumb (average IQ of 135), I have an imagination (accused sometimes of being a little over the top), and the clincher…why waste my time writing what someone else tells me I HAVE to write? In the few college classes I did take over a two year period, even the professors asked me what I was doing in their class. One asked why I was bothering with an undergrad program. She said my writing caliber was better than that of her PhD candidates and that I should be in that program. Well, duh, I don't have a BA or an MA so how do you jump to a doctoral program???
MA, I'm glad you're sticking to your guns and writing no matter what! I've come to realize that criticism says far more about the insecurities of the person doling it out than it does about the person who it's directed at. I wish you the very best in your writing journey!

Diabetic ketoacidosis producing extreme hyperkalemia in a patient with type 1 diabetes on hemodialysis
Hodaka Yamada, Shunsuke Funazaki, Masafumi Kakei, Kazuo Hara and San-e Ishikawa
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a critical complication of type 1 diabetes associated with water and electrolyte disorders. Here, we report a case of DKA with extreme hyperkalemia (9.0 mEq/L) in a patient with type 1 diabetes on hemodialysis. He had a left frontal cerebral infarction resulting in inability to manage his continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump. Electrocardiography showed typical changes of hyperkalemia, including absent P waves, prolonged QRS interval and tented T waves. There was no evidence of total body water deficit. After starting insulin and rapid hemodialysis, the serum potassium level was normalized. Although DKA may present with hypokalemia, rapid hemodialysis may be necessary to resolve severe hyperkalemia in a patient with renal failure.
Patients with type 1 diabetes on hemodialysis may develop ketoacidosis because of discontinuation of insulin treatment.
Patients on hemodialysis who develop ketoacidosis may have hyperkalemia because of anuria.
Absolute insulin deficit alters potassium distribution between the intracellular and extracellular space, and anuria abolishes urinary excretion of potassium.
Rapid hemodialysis along with intensive insulin therapy can improve hyperkalemia, while fluid infusions may worsen heart failure in patients with ketoacidosis who routinely require hemodialysis.
Fatal outcome in a Hispanic woman with moyamoya syndrome and Graves' disease
Julian Choi, Perin Suthakar and Farbod Farmand
We describe the case of a young Hispanic female who presented with thyrotoxicosis with seizures and ischemic stroke. She was diagnosed with a rare vasculopathy – moyamoya syndrome. After starting antithyroid therapy, her neurologic symptoms did not improve. Acute neurosurgical intervention had relieved her symptoms in the immediate post-operative period after re-anastomosis surgery. However, 2 post-operative days later, she was found to be in status epilepticus and in hyperthyroid state. She quickly deteriorated clinically and had expired a few days afterward. This is the second case in literature of a fatality in a patient with moyamoya syndrome and Graves' disease. However, unlike the other case report, our patient had undergone successful revascularization surgery. We believe her underlying non-euthyroid state had potentiated her clinical deterioration. Case studies have shown positive correlation between uncontrolled hyperthyroidism and stroke-like symptoms in moyamoya syndrome. Mostly all patients with these two disease processes become symptomatic in marked hyperthyroid states. Thus, it may be either fluctuations in baseline thyroid function or thyrotoxicosis that potentiate otherwise asymptomatic moyamoya vasculopathy.
Awareness of the association between Graves' disease and moyamoya syndrome in younger patients presenting with stroke-like symptoms.
Obtaining euthyroid states before undergoing revascularization surgery may protect the patient from perioperative mortality and morbidity.
Although moyamoya disease is usually thought to be genetically associated, there are reports that thyroid antibodies may play a role in its pathogenesis and have an autoimmune link.
Fluctuations in baseline thyroid function for patients with known Graves' disease may be a potentiating factor in exacerbating moyamoya vasculopathy.
Pituitary injury and persistent hypofunction resulting from a peripartum non-hemorrhagic, vaso-occlusive event
Anita Kuriya, David V Morris and Michael H Dahan
Cerebral vascular accidents are caused by vasospasm when induced by preeclampsia or by dopamine agonists. However, six arteries nourish the pituitary and prevent against vasospasm-induced damage, which up until now has not been thought to occur. Bromocriptine was used to arrest lactation in a 31-year-old with secondary amenorrhea following preeclampsia and fetal demise at 28 weeks gestation. Tests and history revealed panhypopituitarism not associated with hemorrhage or mass infarction but instead caused by vasospasm. The present study is the first report of pituitary damage from a non-hemorrhagic, vaso-occlusive event in the literature. In keeping with Sheehan's and Simon's syndromes, we have named pituitary damage resulting from vaso-occlusion as Dahan's syndrome, and a literature review suggests that it may be a common and previously overlooked disorder.
Vasospasm can cause damage to the pituitary gland, although it was not previously believed to do so.
Preeclampsia and the use of a dopamine agonist, particularly in the peripartum state, may trigger vasospasm.
Vasospasm resulting from dopamine agonists may be a common cause of injury to the pituitary gland, and it may have been overlooked in the past.
Delayed presentation of late-onset cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea following dopamine agonist therapy for giant prolactinoma
J K Prague, C L Ward, O G Mustafa, B C Whitelaw, A King, N W Thomas and J Gilbert
Therapeutic shrinkage of prolactinomas with dopamine agonists achieves clinical benefit but can expose fistulae that have arisen as a result of bony erosion of the sella floor and anterior skull base by the invasive tumour, resulting in the potential development of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea, meningitis, and rarely pneumocephalus. Onset of symptoms is typically within 4 months of commencing therapy. The management is typically surgical repair via an endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach. A 23-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with acute left limb weakness and intermittent headaches. Visual fields were full to confrontation. Immediate computed tomography and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrated a 5 cm lobular/cystic mass invading the right cavernous sinus, displacing and compressing the midbrain, with destruction of the bony sella. He was referred to the regional pituitary multidisciplinary team (MDT). Serum prolactin was 159 455 mIU/l (7514.37 ng/ml) (normal ranges 100–410 mIU/l (4.72–19.34 ng/ml)). Cabergoline was commenced causing dramatic reduction in tumour size and resolution of neurological symptoms. Further dose titrations were required as the prolactin level plateaued and significant residual tumour remained. After 13 months of treatment, he developed continuous daily rhinorrhea, and on presenting to his general practitioner was referred to an otolaryngologist. When next seen in the routine regional pituitary clinic six-months later he was admitted for urgent surgical repair. Histology confirmed a prolactinoma with a low proliferation index of 2% (Ki-67 antibody). In view of partial cabergoline resistance he completed a course of conventional radiotherapy. Nine months after treatment the serum prolactin had fallen to 621 mIU/l, and 12 months after an MRI showed reduced tumour volume.
CSF rhinorrhoea occurred 13 months after the initiation of cabergoline, suggesting a need for vigilance throughout therapy.
Dedicated bony imaging should be reviewed early in the patient pathway to assess the potential risk of CSF rhinorrhoea after initiation of dopamine agonist therapy.
There was a significant delay before this complication was brought to the attention of the regional pituitary MDT, with associated risk whilst left untreated. This demonstrates a need for patients and healthcare professionals to be educated about early recognition and management of this complication to facilitate timely and appropriate referral to the MDT for specialist advice and management. We changed our nurse-led patient education programme as a result of this case.
Having developed partial cabergoline resistance and CSF rhinorrhoea, an excellent therapeutic response was achieved with conventional radiotherapy after limited surgery.
Rare association of acromegaly with left atrial myxoma in Carney's complex due to novel PRKAR1A mutation
Shweta Birla, Sameer Aggarwal, Arundhati Sharma and Nikhil Tandon
Carney complex (CNC) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by pigmented lesions of the skin and mucosae along with cardiac, endocrine, cutaneous, and neural myxomatous tumors. Mutations in the PRKAR1A gene have been identified in ∼70% of the CNC cases reported worldwide. A 30-year-old male was referred to the endocrinology clinic with suspected acromegaly. He had a history of recurrent atrial myxoma for the past 8 years for which he underwent repeated surgeries. Presently, he complained of having headache, excessive snoring, sweating, and also noticed increase in his shoe size. Evaluation for acromegaly revealed elevated levels of GH in random as well as in suppressed condition. Magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed enlarged sella with microadenoma in the left anterior pituitary. Screening of PRKAR1A gene was carried out for the patient, his parents and siblings who were available and willing to undergo the test. The patient was diagnosed to have the rare CNC syndrome characterized by recurrent atrial myxoma and acromegaly due to a novel 22 bp insertion mutation in PRKAR1A which was predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Screening the available family members revealed the absence of this mutation in them except the elder brother who also tested positive for this mutation. The present study reports on a novel PRKAR1A insertion mutation in a patient with acromegaly and left atrial myxoma in CNC.
Identification of a novel deleterious PRKAR1A insertion mutation causing CNC.
It is important that patients with cardiac myxoma be investigated for presence of endocrine overactivity suggestive of CNC.
PRKAR1A mutation analysis should be undertaken in such cases to confirm the diagnosis in the patients as well as first degree relatives.
This case highlights an important aspect of diagnosis, clinical course, and management of this rare condition.

HOME / About Us / News & Updates / How a UX Prof adapted his teaching to go online
A tale of two Islamic Art and Material Culture fellows
Alumna named one of Canada's most powerful women
How a UX Prof adapted his teaching to go online
Submitted on Monday, January 04, 2021
In a typical class held in the Faculty of Information's technologically enhanced active learning (TEAL) studio, Room 224 of the Bissell Building is filled with students gathered around tables, touching shared screens and interacting closely together on projects and assignments. Assistant Professor (Teaching Stream) Olivier St-Cyr, who designed the space for User Experience Design (UXD) students, has been developing teaching pedagogies around it since the studio opened in 2019.
When the Faculty announced in the summer that its fall term would be online, St-Cyr said he saw two choices. He could switch to a conventional online format or he could go in the completely opposite direction and try to recreate the Studio 224 experience online. The latter meant that St-Cyr would come to campus and teach from the empty classroom.
"I wanted to show students the experience they would get if they were in the studio. I wanted to give them as similar an experience as possible," says St-Cyr. "I felt really bad that the students weren't in the studio."
But because the room had not been designed for remote learning, that meant adjustments had to be made. St-Cyr contacted the classroom's equipment supplier, Kramer Electronics Canada, to brainstorm about what could be done. Together, they figured out a system where he hooked up laptops to each of the room's multiple TV screens. With this setup, St-Cyr could go from tv to tv as if he was going group to group of students in the physical classroom.
But he was still missing a good camera that could zoom in, zoom out and follow him around the room. In his search for the right camera, St-Cyr started out researching what schools were using and ended up on YouTube watching church services where the priest or minister is moving in the church and has to be followed, not to mention ready for close-ups.
In the end, St-Cyr settled on the remote-controlled PTZ optic camera. "I got lucky because there were only two left in the GTA. The demand was crazy. They were back ordered 6 months," says St-Cyr, who bought his camera and a tripod from The AVShop in Markham.
After playing with it for a couple of days, he moved into Room 224 and created a teaching station to record his lectures. He planned to use the so-called "flipped" technique of having students watch pre-recorded lectures and then use the class time to put design thinking to the test.
He had students get a markers and sticky notes and some even got whiteboards, which were optional. "I used the camera and would show them what they would do if they were in the studio," says St-Cyr.
Unfortunately, four weeks into the term COVID cases started rising in Toronto so St-Cyr brought the camera and tripod home and began improvising from his basement. Under the circumstances, he says, the class is still going well with attendance strong.
"The biggest problem is that I miss seeing the students and meeting them. I love the human contact in the job," says St-Cyr who also worries that students are overwhelmed and have Zoom fatigue. To keep them engaged, he uses breakout rooms, screen sharing and quizzes to ensure they are taking in the content.
Current work conditions have also made it possible for St-Cyr, who normally invites 50 to 60 people from industry to his classes each semester, to host guests, who couldn't make it to campus under normal conditions. "Because we're all remote now, I'm able to tap into a pool of industry experts that is much wider," he says. In the future, he thinks he will offer both remote and in-person visit options for his guests.
He's also considering allowing more remote participation in the UXD capstone course, where this Winter-2021 some student projects involve organizations in Vancouver, for example. "Normally I encourage students to go in person. But this year my call for proposals got sent to all sorts of community organizations across the country", said St-Cyr. "If having a certain part of it remote helps people participate in our programs, then why not?"
Nor will the expensive camera be mothballed once the pandemic is over. St-Cyr plans to mount it on the ceiling of room 224 and make it a permanent piece of technology. As for pedagogy, he's also hanging on to the recorded teaching models and contemplating integrating them into future courses. The flipped model gave him more time in class to provide examples and work with students.
"I did enjoy this type of practice," says St-Cyr, "and it's transferable to in-person and easily scalable."

Back in 2015, fliers popped up in the neighborhood advertising a casting call for a supposed pilot about "six leading technology executives living, learning and loving together in San Francisco's Mission District." KQED pegged it as a possible prank, and well it quite likely is one, but now you get to see the end product – if you can stomach it.
New fliers went up around the Mission last week – awfully close to April Fool's Day – advertising the debut of "94110." The show's pilot, complete with a disarming laugh track, was uploaded to YouTube on April 2. I found it quite painful to watch but, hey, judge for yourself.

Jeffrey Epstein rose from humble origins to the rarefied heights of New York City's financial elite. A college dropout with an instinct for numbers--and for people--Epstein amassed his wealth through a combination of access and skill. But even after he had it all, Epstein wanted more. And that unceasing desire--especially a taste for young girls--resulted in his stunning fall from grace. From Epstein himself, to the girls he employed as masseuses at his home, to the cops investigating the appalling charges against him, Filthy Rich examines all sides of a case that scandalized one of America's richest communities.

You've read the Jeffrey Epstein headlines, now get the full story. The world's bestselling author, James Patterson, has written the definitive book on the billionaire pedophile at the center of the newly unsealed federal sex crimes case.
Jeffrey Epstein rose from humble origins into the New York City and Palm Beach elite. A college dropout with an instinct for numbers -- and for people -- Epstein amassed his wealth through a combination of access and skill. But even after he had it all, Epstein wanted more. That unceasing desire -- and especially a taste for underage girls --resulted in sexual-abuse charges, to which he pleaded guilty and received a shockingly lenient sentence.
Included here are police interviews with girls who have alleged sexual abuse by Epstein, as well as details of the investigation against him.
James Patterson was born in Newburgh, New York, on March 22, 1947. He graduated from Manhattan College in 1969 and received a M. A. from Vanderbilt University in 1970. His first novel, The Thomas Berryman Number, was written while he was working in a mental institution and was rejected by 26 publishers before being published and winning the Edgar Award for Best First Mystery.
He is best known as the creator of Alex Cross, the police psychologist hero of such novels as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls. Cross has been portrayed on the silver screen by Morgan Freeman. He has had eleven on his books made into movies and ranks as number 3 on the Hollywood Reporter's '25 Most Powerful Authors' 2016 list. He also writes the Women's Murder Club series, the Michael Bennett series, the Maximum Ride series, Daniel X series, the Witch and Wizard series, BookShots series, Private series, NYPD Red series, and the Middle School series for children. He has won numerous awards including the BCA Mystery Guild's Thriller of the Year, the International Thriller of the Year award, and the Reader's Digest Reader's Choice Award.
James Patterson introduced the Bookshots Series in 2016 which is advertised as All Thriller No Filler. The first book in the series, Cross Kill, made the New York Times Bestseller list in June 2016. The third and fourth books, The Trial, and Little Black Dress, made the New York Times Bestseller list in July 2016. The next books in the series include, $10,000,000 Marriage Proposal, French Kiss, Hidden: A Mitchum Story (co-authored with James O. Born). and The House Husband (co-authored Duane Swierczynski).

Publisher's Weekly Review
The picture painted of Jeffrey Epstein-and the abuse and miscarriages of justice-in this white-collar crime account will haunt listeners. The authors stick with evidence they uncovered rather than delving too deep into whys and wherefores. The story covers Epstein's upbringing, financial exploits, extravagant sexual misconduct involving the solicitation of underage girls (of which he was found guilty), and how he attempted to cover his tracks during the investigation and bypassed real punishment for his crimes. Culp reads with a deep, coarse voice that draws out the raw and malicious elements of this true crime tale, but can quickly alter his voice to convey the emotions in the quotes from victims. His pacing and emphasis draw out the tension and heighten the drama. A Little, Brown hardcover. (Oct.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Last weekend in France, we had 'Les Journées du patrimoine' (National Heritage days).
It was the opportunity for me to speak about a conference I gave in the National Glass School (ENV), in Auvergne, in the centre of France.
In March 2016, I had the pleasure to give a conference about Arabic calligraphy to the students at this Art School.
They were pleasant, attentive and curious.
I have always admired and been interested in arts and crafts; that's why I was happy to try blowing glass! And I noticed that it's not easy at all!
Our breath and posture are very important.
When the students graduate from the ENV, they work for luxury crystal brands like Baccarat, Lalique or Saint-Louis.
It was a fascinating day that I will always remember!


Get Messy Season of Gifts flipthrough and a giveaway!
Hello! Before we move on to Get Messy 2017, I thought I'd share a flipthrough of my Season of Gifts journal. I debated about how to bind these pages that I left loose so that I could run them through my sewing machine. Finally, I decided to cheat and use paperclips to hold it together!
Here's a closer look at the "binding"! Eventually, I may glue the facing backings together to make the whole thing more solid. Maybe.
I can't wait for the new Season to start! You will love this one, I promise. In the meantime, if you are interested in Get Messy but unsure if you want to commit, then check out my Instagram for a chance to win a year long membership. Yeah, for real!


I started yet another new project from some plarn I had left over from my Upcycled Bangle Bracelet tutorial. This time I am making the bottom of a tote bag out of this colorful and thick plastic. But, not even two rows into making the bottom the whole darn thing turns into a twisted mess. I think it's time to get a ball winder.
So, here I am looking on amazon for a ball winder to join my party of craft supplies. It would come in handy for many things. Coiling, crochet, weaving, stuff and things. But do I really need one? It looks nice, but that's $30 to make pretty little balls. The crafter in me is poking me in the brain going "Can I make that? What would it take to make that.... Is it possible"
Looking more and more into it and remembering my days in the textiles studio at school I am inclined to think that is above my crafting skills. I mean, not only does it go around but it also varies the height it places the yarn on the spinning mechanism to create a nice evenly distributed ball.
What do you think? Can I make that? Do I need that?


Brevard is home to Kennedy Space Center, where the United States launched its first rockets and its manned missions, and where private industry will continue the nation's rich tradition of space exploration. This designation led to its name as "Florida's Space Coast," but did you know we test missiles here, too? Except you probably won't see these launch. The Naval Ordinance Test Unit based right here in Brevard usually tests the SSBN Trident II D5 missile system way out yonder in the Atlantic.
The county's area code became 321 in 1999 as homage to the countdown sequence used to launch space vehicles: "3... 2... 1... blast off!"
Popular tourism destinations in Brevard County include the Brevard Zoo, the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, Canaveral National Seashore and Kennedy Space Center. Vacationers flock to Port Canaveral, the second busiest cruise port in the world. From golf and air boat rides to cultural events and theatre, there are always plenty of things to do in Brevard County. Osceola County is a stone's throw away and has many theme parks such as, Disney's Magic Kingdom, SeaWorld, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios Orlando, Universal's Islands of Adventure, and Legoland.

Sea Foam Applications
Why It's Beneficial
How to Use Sea Foam
String Trimmer Maintenance
Proper Storage Is Crucial
Image Credit: Kyryl Gorlov/iStock/GettyImages
String trimmer engines, like all types of gas-powered engines, need routine maintenance to function their best. Sea Foam is a motor additive that's compatible with virtually every type of gas-powered engine, including lawn mowers, trucks and string trimmers. It serves to clean buildup and restore the function of all parts of the engine system.
Sea Foam motor additive products are compatible with and safe to use with string trimmers and other gas-powered lawn-care tools.
Sea Foam spray and liquid applications are safe to use with all types of common engines, including those in lawn care equipment such as string trimmers and lawn mowers. Sea Foam can also be used in cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and many other engines. The reason it is safe for all engines is because it contains pure petroleum oils and no additional chemicals. It incorporates the same kind of chemistry as the fuels and oils your string trimmer already uses.
Sea Foam motor treatment is made to clean, improve and maintain the quality of your engine. Its main purpose is to remove varnish deposits that cause carbon buildup in your fuel system. This maintains a high level of function and efficiency. Additionally, Sea Foam cleans out and de-ices the fuel system and controls moisture levels. It also lubricates the cylinders and loosens sticky valves and rings. The product makes your string trimmer engine last longer.
When adding Sea Foam, always follow instructions based on the type of engine you are working with. Many string trimmers incorporate a 2-cycle engine. For 2-cycle engines, add 2 ounces of Sea Foam to your gallon gas can of oil and gas mix. This will stabilize the fuel for up to two years. Use the same ratio for controlling moisture buildup and cleaning the carburetor bowl and jets. You can also use the spray form of Sea Foam and apply it directly into the carburetor throat while the engine is running.
Maintaining your string trimmer is essential to keep it running properly and efficiently. A misfiring or backfiring engine can be caused by a buildup of carbon, which causes sticky valves. Carbon buildup can also lead to inefficient engine function. If adding Sea Foam or other fuel additive fails to remove this carbon, you can clean it out manually. Scrape away the carbon with a wire brush or putty knife until clean. Replace the oil regularly for a clean-running system. These steps will help extend the life of your string trimmer.
No matter what other measures you take to maintain your string trimmer and other gas-powered lawn-care tools, it won't be enough if you don't know how to properly store them between seasons. And, contrary to what many such product owners think, draining the gas from your trimmer is not the proper way to prepare it for a chilly stay in the garden shed, even though this is sometimes recommended by manufacturers.
When done yearly, draining the gas harms the carburetor by making room for oxygen and condensation, which triggers corrosion. Additionally, the plastic and rubber components of a fuel system are made to be immersed in fuel. If they're exposed to air, they can become brittle and crack.
The smartest approach is to add a stabilizer like Sea Foam to fresh fuel, then fill the tank to not more than 95 percent. Run the engine for two or three minutes to distribute the fresh mixture into the carburetor and fuel lines — then it's all set for a winter's rest.
