Conference Showcases Residency Research
MAGGIE NING, MD, presents her work to SHRIRAM NALLAMSHETTY, MD.
Wearing a black Stanford Medicine fleece over his blue scrubs, third-year internal medicine resident Gilad Jaffe, MD, stood in front of a poster that described his research on screening rates for primary aldosteronism in patients with resistant hypertension.
He shared the specifics of his findings with a roomful of attendees at the first-ever Stanford Medicine Residency Research Symposium.
Jaffe was one of 49 residents who participated in the event, which was designed to "highlight the remarkable things our residents are doing," says Angela Rogers, MD, an assistant professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine and the associate program director of the Stanford Internal Medicine Residency Program, who oversaw the symposium.
"More than 80 percent of Stanford residents take a dedicated research month during their time here," she explains, "and they are amazingly productive. The amount of work and research that they do on their nights and weekends is worth celebrating."
Resident Jimmy Tooley, MD, one of the leaders of the Stanford Internal Medicine Research Interest Group who helped organize the event, agreed with Rogers, adding: "There is a lot of great mentorship and research going on. I am so impressed and inspired by all the amazing work being done by my peers."
During the event, faculty judges, mentors, and fellow residents walked up and down several aisles of poster boards, pausing to ask questions, give insights and feedback, and take notes.

The projects on display spanned disciplines, fields, and diseases — investigating topics ranging from advanced care planning to complications of cirrhosis. "Essentially every specialty within medicine was represented," recalls Rogers. "It was an opportunity for residents to show each other their work, and there aren't a lot of avenues for that."
It was also an opportunity to highlight the important role that mentorship and guidance play throughout the Stanford residency experience. "The projects that were presented involved 25 mentors — it's a testament to how many faculty give their time," says Rogers. "This type of long-term relationship with a single mentor can be instrumental, and it's something we pride ourselves on."
Jaffe has seen the benefits of this long-term mentorship firsthand. He's been working alongside his mentor, Vivek Bhalla, MD, an assistant professor of nephrology, since the start of his intern year in 2016. "Dr. Bhalla is an outstanding teacher, mentor, and physician," Jaffe explains. "He is extremely supportive of me and my goals. He worked with me closely and guided me through the process, but also gave me room to spread my wings and figure out the research landscape. He always made time for our research, even if it meant talking to him on his personal time at home."
At the end of the event, the judges picked 10 winners who received small monetary prizes, but it was clear from the palpable energy and excitement in the room that it was a valuable experience for all involved. "It was spectacularly successful, and we plan to host it every year," Rogers confirms. "The enthusiastic response from residents and faculty made the event celebratory and supportive."

Ghanaian youngster Gideon Mensah is happy with the course of events at Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg.
The 19-year-old joined Die Roten Bullen on a five-year deal last year, and like a duct to water, it took him little time to establish himself as the first choice left-back of feeder side Liefering.
He was also instrumental as Salzburg won the Uefa Youth League last season, securing him promotion to the senior outfit.
"It's not surprising to me," Mensah told Goal.
"My expectation was to join the team and get a regular place, so when it happened, I was not surprised because that was my plan.
This season, Mensah has made eight league appearances so far for Liefering.
He also had his maiden first-team game involvement in making the bench for Salzburg in a 2-2 draw with Rapid Wien in the Austrian topflight earlier this month.
"It was not easy at the beginning but things are getting better," Mensah added.
"I'm in my second year now, so things are not like the first. I just have to continue.
Mensah joined Salzburg from Ghanaian Premier League side Wafa.

Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2021: Recent initiatives of DSPRUD towards AMR containment
DSPRUD, a non-government organisation since 1996, has been working at various levels and contributing from policy to the grass root level with diverse stakeholders on AMR
NEXT BLOG ❯
By Sangeeta Sharma, Renu Gupta
Published: Tuesday 23 November 2021
DSPRUD, a non-government organisation since 1996, has been a leading innovator, convener, partner and driver for introducing the concept of essential medicines and rational medicine use, especially antibiotics in India.
The Society is committed to focus and energise the essential medicines concept, rational medicine use and medication safety agenda to strengthen healthcare systems in both, the public and private sector.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a major public health problem, has numerous biological, behavioural, economic, environmental and social factors contributing to its development and propagation.
DSPRUD has been working at various levels and contributing from policy to the grass root level with diverse stakeholders on the clinical and social dimensions of use / misuse of antibiotics, raising awareness about the impact of AMR and facilitator / barriers to promote rational antibiotic use.
Some of the important activities undertaken by the Society are listed below:
Policy level interventions
National Action Plan (NAP)-AMR, a top-level plan needs implementation at the state level and supplementation at the health facility level.
This is to successfully overcome the threat posed by AMR and to protect the effectiveness of existing and future antimicrobials.
DSPRUD played an instrumental role in the development of a multi-sectoral and multi-jurisdictional State Action Plan to Combat AMR in Delhi (SAP-CARD) in January 2020 with contribution from over 120 experts from the human and non-human sectors.
With this, Delhi became the third state to develop its own state action plan after Kerala and Madhya Pradesh. Besides, DSPRUD has been representing at the national level in National Working Groups on AMR.
Initiatives tackling AMR, including state action plans, can only be fully exploited at the macro level by building the critical capacity for implementation of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions.
These should be well-integrated with infection prevention & control (IPC) at the hospital level.
The Society has been at the forefront of conducting training programmes for doctors, pharmacists and nurses to build skills for implementation of the AMS programme (AMSP).
They have developed an online certificate course on AMS in collaboration with Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI). The Society has so far conducted over 200 workshops and trained more than 8,500 health professionals.
Training on Antimicrobial Consumption (AMC) Tool and Point Prevalence Sampling (PPS) Methodology
Both, the volumes of antimicrobial used and the prescribing practices contribute to the selection of AMR.
It is imperative that before initiation of any AMS activities, the magnitude of antibiotic use is measured and analysed to understand the causes of irrational prescribing practices followed by designing of interventions to rationalise / reduce the antimicrobial use.
DSPRUD is actively engaged in developing capacity in using AMC tools developed by the World Health Organization for the national surveillance sites (30 sites) under the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
This is so that the AMC data provides the total quantum of antibiotics consumed and its trends for comparison.
Nurses as champions for IPC & AMS interventions
Nurses being the largest workforce and in position as team leaders, can significantly contribute to the success of the AMSP. But their potential is less recognised and utilised.
Nurse-led AMS interventions can significantly improve antibiotic use practices by questioning an antimicrobial order, timely switching from IV to oral antibiotics or timely removal of catheter, etc.
IPC is a universal component of all health systems and integral to AMR containment.
The Society has played a key role in developing and updating standard operating procedures for IPC for Delhi hospitals since 2016 and running training / certificate courses for Infection Control Nurses on IPC, AMS interventions and critical care nursing. They have trained more than 1,300 nurses.
Developing Standard Treatment Guidelines (STGs): A Point-of-Care Clinical Support Tool
Prescribing is a complex, dynamic process, influenced by many determinants. Inadequate training, combined with the lack of a functional antibiotic policy, are the leading causes of unchecked growth of AMR in Indian hospitals.
The availability and easy access to up-to-date guidelines for antimicrobial usage is an important pre-requisite for appropriate antibiotic use and improved patient outcomes.
The Society has been actively engaged in developing and implementing STGs at various levels of healthcare.
Our latest edition (2021), is a comprehensive evidence-based ready-reckoner covering 330 priority diseases developed and reviewed by a large number of experts.
It includes a section on AMS interventions and provides stepwise treatment of infectious diseases along with pearls for AMS. We are also conducting monthly online workshops in collaboration with ECHO India to train clinicians 'when not to use antibiotics'.
Patient / Public education / Community awareness
Emergence of community-associated resistant organisms in the last decade has also highlighted the need of public awareness programmes as antimicrobials are consumed in a much larger proportion in the community, compared to hospitals.
DSPRUD has been actively working to design and implement community education programmes focusing on various aspects of antibiotic use by addressing misbeliefs / misconceptions about antimicrobial treatment, self-medication and poor adherence.
This is in pursuance of SAP-CARD Strategic objective 1.
Raising awareness about problems with antimicrobial use / misuse at a young age not only promotes behavioural change but also positively influences parental and community behaviour towards appropriate antimicrobial use.
The Society for the past two consecutive years has been organizing state-wide awareness campaigns among Delhi school students on the occasion of World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW).
In 2019, more than 600,000 school children from 1,041 Delhi government schools participated.
In the wake of the ongoing novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, WAAW 2020 campaign was conducted all online, wherein 3,500 teachers and 350,000 students participated.
Around 45,000 students took part in a quiz competition and more than 5,000 students participated in online 'IDEAthon'. Entries were independently evaluated and rewarded based on content, creativity / presentation and relatedness to the theme.
The Society is also committed to the cause of promoting rational antibiotic use, other activities include prescription audit and research into practices & factors in specific regional and local contexts and regular time-to-time assessment of the AMS programme in order to understand the existing structures, processes and outcomes.

It's been 15 years since the seminal Hallmarks of Cancer paper was published, and since that time it has helped scientists navigate the complexity of cancer by identifying the six traits (or "hallmarks") that all cancers share.
One of the hallmarks of the Alberta Cancer Foundation and our donors is to make life better for Albertans facing cancer. We recently unveiled our 2015 Report to Donors: "Unfolding More Moments," which showed how our investments create more moments for Albertans facing cancer. In that report we tell the Alberta Cancer Foundation story. It's the story about Albertans. And it's a story about you.
Over the last year, you — our donors, our event participants, our partners — helped patients feel comfortable during chemotherapy. You provided financial assistance across the province. You helped ignite the imaginations of the brightest researchers so we can bring their discoveries to patients, faster.
In this issue of Leap, you will read about social worker Vivian Collacutt and her incredible capacity to care for the unique needs of rural cancer patients. You will read about our investment in the provincial biobank and how these facilities give researchers access to high-quality samples that will speed the pace of discovery, leading to more moments for Albertans facing cancer.
We celebrate the years of research that have brought us to the point where more than 100,000 Albertans are alive today after a cancer diagnosis. And we know the work we do is still crucial to achieving the next advancements that will save even more lives. Just as the Hallmarks of Cancer have helped uncover the underlying principles of cancer, the Alberta Cancer Foundation has worked hard to change the medical landscape in this province. We have a sense of urgency, and are driven by a singular goal — to save lives by speeding up the pace of discovery and helping that innovation reach the health-care system.

Joke: the Storks
Monday, 21 December 1998 19:01:09 EST David-Braverman Entertainment (0)
Two storks are sitting in their nest: a father stork and baby stork. The baby stork is crying and crying and father stork is trying to calm him. "Don't worry, son. Your mother will come back. She's only bringing people babies and making them happy."
The next night, it's father's turn to do the job. Mother and son are sitting in the nest, the baby stork is crying, and mother is saying "Son, your father will be back as soon as possible, but now he's bringing joy to new mommies and daddies."
A few days later, the stork's parents are desperate: their son is absent from the nest all night! Shortly before dawn, he returns and the parents ask him where he's been all night. The baby stork says, "Nowhere. Just scaring the hell out of college students!"

On the first day of school after vacation, Miss Clarke addressed her second grade class with special instructions:
"Now children, please tell the class about your vacation, and try to use adult words, as we must practice our vocabulary."
Little Bobby Thompson raised his hand.
"Yes, Bobby?"
"On my vacation, I saw a-choo choo," Bobby said.
"A train, Bobby, you saw a train. Please try to use the proper, adult word."
"Ok, I saw a train."
"Good. OK, now Sharon, what did you do on your vacation?"
"I got to pet a moo-moo," Sharon excitedly blurted.
"Sharon, please use the correct word. You went to a farm, and what did you do?"
"Um, I got to pet the cow."
"Good job. Now, Katie. What did you do on vacation?"
Katie sat thinking at her desk for a moment.
"Well, I read a book. It was called Winnie...the Shit."

Do you remember this classic from the rough-and-tumble early days of the Internet?
Why Email Is Like a Penis
Some folks have it, some don't. Those who have it would be devastated if it were ever cut off. They think that those who don't have it are somehow inferior. They think it gives them power. They are wrong. Those who don't have it may agree that it's a nifty toy, but think it's not worth the fuss made over it by those who do have it. Still, many of those who don't have it would like to try it.
It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up, but it makes it hard to get any real work done.
In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information considered vital to the survival of the species. Some people still think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks today use it for fun most of the time.
Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to stop. Some people would just play with it all day if they didn't have work to do.
It provides a way to interact with other people. Some people take this interaction very seriously; others treat it as a lark. Sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of person you're dealing with until it's too late.
If you don't apply the appropriate protective measures, it can spread viruses.
It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses yours. If you use it too much, you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to think coherently.
We attach an importance to it that is far greater than what its actual size and influence warrant.
If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you in big trouble.
It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your intentions, it will warp you behavior. Later you may ask yourself "why on earth did I do that?"
It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own devices, it will do the same damn dumb things it did before.
Parody: Adopt-a-Player
Wednesday, 16 December 1998 19:01:03 EST David-Braverman Entertainment (0)
With the holiday season approaching, please look into your heart to help those in need.
Hundreds of National Basketball Association basketball players in our very own country are living at or just below the seven-figure salary level. And, as if that weren't bad enough, they'll be deprived of pay for several weeks—possibly a whole year—as a result of the current lock-out situation.
But now, you can help!
For only $20,835 a month—about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV)—you can help a basketball player remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem, as it barely covers the yearly league minimum, but it's a start!
Almost $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to a basketball player it could mean the difference between a vacation spent golfing in Florida and a Mediterranean cruise. For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than two months' rent or mortgage payments. But to a Basketball player, $700 will almost replace his daily salary. Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.
How will I know I'm helping?
Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. You'll also get information on how he plans to invest the $5 million lump sum he will receive upon retirement. Plus upon signing up for this program, you will receive a photo of the player (unsigned—for a signed photo, please include an additional $50.00). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples' suffering.
How will he know I'm helping?
Your basketball player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator just in case additional funds are needed for unexpected expenses.
Yes, I want to help!

Joke: Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they were exhausted and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
"Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. By observing its position, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that Our Lord is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
Watson paused, then asked his friend: "Why? What does it tell you?"
Holmes was silent for a minute before speaking. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."

Joke: Bible studies
A visitor to a small Southern town was admiring the town's Nativity Scene. However, one small feature bothered him: the three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.
Unable to come up with an explanation, he left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, he asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets.
She exploded into a rage, yelling, "You Yankees never did read your Bibles!"
The visitor assured her that he did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible.
She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, finally jabbing her finger at a passage. Sticking it in his face, she said "Look, it says right here! 'The three wise men came from afar.'"

Joke: Behavior modification
Joe received a parrot for his birthday. This parrot was fully grown with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude.
Joe tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to try and set a good example... Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the bird got worse. He shook the bird and the bird got more angry and more rude.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, Joe put the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird squawking and kicking and screaming--then suddenly there was quiet. Joe was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto Joe's extended arm and said: "I'm sorry that I might have offended you with my language and actions and ask for your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior."
Joe was astounded at the bird's change in attitude, and was just about to ask what had made such a drastic change, when the parrot continued: "May I ask what the chicken did?"

WILL THE BRITS MUDDLE THROUGH?
by Eric Margolis | 12 Comments | Add a Comment
Two of the most perilous military operations are crossing rivers while under enemy fire, and retreat while engaged with enemy forces.
Britain's embattled Prime Minister, Theresa May, must accomplish both maneuvers if she is to extract her very confused nation from the horrid Brexit mess and save her job. We wish her lots of luck.
On December 11th, British members of parliament must vote to accept some sort of Brexit deal; a negotiated withdrawal and/or trade association. But there is bitter opposition within May's Conservative Party and rival Labour Party to Britain's withdrawal from the European Union. The rump Northern Irish Unionist Party, which shores up May's Tories in parliament, is making everyone crazy.
Increasing numbers of British voters now think that the original referendum to withdraw Britain from the European Union after four decades of grudging membership was a catastrophic mistake. Britain was one of Europe's big three members; without with EU, Britain will be marooned somewhere off the coast of northern Europe and forced to become totally responsive to US demands and policies.
Equally vexing, the proud Brits, who a century ago ruled a quarter of the globe's surface, will be forced to see old rivals Germany and France become the undisputed kingpins of Europe while no one pays attention to the toothless old British lion.
British supporters of Brexit don't care. They tend to dislike foreigners…aka 'bloody wogs'…, chafe at regulations imposed by faceless bureaucrats in remote Brussels, fret over a rising tide of EU immigrants, fulminate over the steep costs imposed by the EU, and deeply resent being compelled to accept working in the EU collective instead of trumpeting imperial demands.
But times and economic realities have changed. Britain is no longer the manufacturing powerhouse it was before World War II. Its industries are rusting, the quality of its manufactured products questioned (Dyson excepted) and the once mighty financial power of the City of London diminished.
Europe's money lenders and their ilk are slinking off to Frankfurt and Paris; the City of London is no longer the wild, anything goes casino where all sorts of financial chicanery was quietly tolerated. London is slowly losing its charmed existence as a tax refuge – or to quote Somerset Maugham's great quip about Monaco, 'a sunny place for shady people'.
As Britain's economy deflates under Brexit, its working class will have refuge against the snobs and toffs who sneered at them for generations and perpetuated the class system. But ditching the EU will be like Britain shooting itself in the foot. All economic signs show that Britain will be impoverished if Brexit happens. Everything – the stock markets, industry, trade, housing – are pointed downhill. Divorcing Britain from the EU will be nightmarishly complex and fraught. The Bank of England warns that Brexit will plunge the country into a serious recession.
All this for the sake of national ego and a chance to stick it to the 'bloody foreigners'. Certainly not worth the expense or national anguish, say many sensible Brits and the Labour Party. The Tories are split over the issue and locked in bitter infighting. The leading Conservative MP's remind one of all the things we didn't like about snobby, imperial Britain.
The way out of this nasty mess is for Parliament to do its job and mandate another referendum. Many pro-Brexit voters misunderstood the real issues and regret their hastiness. Divorce is always ugly and painful. After all the shouting and name-calling, Britain will be left with a cup of cold flat tea, not the golden chalice it hoped for.

I'm not sure if most voters for Brexit were aware of the long term consequences/rewards. I think the reaction was because of the large increase in 'foreigners', the social burden caused by the immigrants, the decrease in social status, the decrease in gainful employment and cost of accommodations.
The Brits were not prepared to give up their sovereignty, and, considered themselves as 'second class citizens' within the EU. Their vote to leave created yet another problem. They could not re-join without incurring the wrath of the other EU states; their position within the European community would be greatly diminished. Having decided to have a vote, in the event an exit was indicated, put them on a one way path. I'm surprised the politicians weren't aware of this likely outcome. Having decided to leave, it was a matter of focusing their energy to bring this quickly to fruition.
I'm not sure leaving has put the Brits at the mercy of the Americans. The Brits can develop business connections with the EU, China, Russia, South America, the Middle East, Africa, and with US permission, Canada. This latter condition is a feature Trudeau junior agreed to in the new NAFTA.
The UK has to concentrate on improving its manufacturing segment. Manufacturing was largely bombed out of the forefront during WW2, and hasn't significantly developed. After the war, industries in Europe that were destroyed, rebuilt using new equipment and techniques. Britain, for some reason, did not; this was possibly due to their being financially drained. The Americans took a terrible toll for the American input into the war effort.
There has to be a realignment in taxation with those that can afford to pay taxes and those that cannot. This is a global issue. There has been a noted deterioration in their National Health System as well as their education system as a result of this 'tax base' shift.
It seems odd that Germany and France are now the economic antagonists, whereas it's my understanding that Britain and France were partially complicit in declaring war on Germany for economic reasons. Poland, I understand, was only incidental. I guess what 'goes around, comes around'.
Regarding manufacturing prowess, your reference to Dyson if fitting; a lot of the hype is advertising, and, not manufacturing. There used to be a comment from my earlier years (I really liked British sportscars and had several). The answer to the question why Brits liked warm beer was that British Leyland built refrigerators.
As you note, since before World War II, the UK has lost much of it's appeal, and, is just a 'has been', imperial power. The UK, having a West Coast Marine Climate, is an ideal environment for manufacturing and education; they have to be diligent and work hard to bring themselves into the 21st century.
Somerset Maugham's great quip about Monaco, 'a sunny place for shady people', is a great line, with some truth.
I don't agree with mandating another referendum. There was a reason the first one 'went badly', and, nothing has improved in that regard. A second referendum, if 'to stay', would mean that the UK would have to approach the EU on their knees asking for forgiveness for the UK's transgression. This would be less palatable for the UK. They have a tough road ahead, and, I wish them all the success.
John M says:
Manufacturing in Britain in the past 150 years has played second fiddle to investments in the Empire which produced many spectacular returns. The banking system was oriented for this kind of investment contrasted to Germany which did not have as great an empire. Banking and manufacturing were closely integrated whereas in Britain, manufacturing in certain classes was looked down upon.
Also the class system in Britain was very much in force and investing in your people with education, training and tools seems not to have been part of the investor/business mentality. In Germany, there were more advanced social programs and worker involvement in the management process.
If you don't invest, you don't progress. Now the UK has nearly 70 million people, very limited energy resources and is reliant on imports for virtually every commodity. Hardly the basis to re-launch a manufacturing infrastructure.
The financial aspect was there, with London being somewhat at the centre. The UK was heavily invested in import and export as well.
Since Victorian times (If you recall, it was the time of the mechanical revolution), manufacturing has been a mainstay of the UK. People think of the Victorian times as being the 'prurient' part of British civilisation; the reality is that it was also the peak of the manufacturing era. They had cast iron 'dohickys' (piggy banks, doorstops, paperweights, etc.), stairs, railings (the stairs, and guardrails in many of Canada's armouries were cast iron manufactured in the UK), intricate castings, etc. and serious electrical and mechanical equipment that was exported worldwide.
The historic hydro generating station at Pointe du Bois, Manitoba has turbines and generators that were fabricated in the UK, and they are still in active use, more than a century later.
My first observation is:
My first contention is that the UK should never have joined the European Union in the first place; they were sold a bill of goods based on the government's hope of expanding financial markets. This is based on the UK personality, and, the masses bought it hook, line, and sinker.
I've noted often that joining the EU meant that the UK would have to give up some of its sovereignty; I was pretty sure that, at heart, the UK would never do this… it's not British , you know. Joining the EU was doomed from the beginning.
AliH says:
The referendum debate revolved around a series of alarmist fibs emanating from the entitled and self-interested but oherwise somewhat useless Boris and Co who were having a bit of fun rallying the plebs by any means, with lots of help from Rupert and his suck-ups. Unfortunately the liberal "middle" have become snobs, despite their PC window dressing, and have only too happy to leave the white working class to rot for decades. Playing with fire IMO. Thus abandoned, in favour of more fashionable causes, they could end up turning to a lot worse than Nigel Farage. It's only now, at five minutes before midnight, that the issues involved have actually become clear and are getting discussed, even on the BBC. Apologies for being a smart**"*, but I joked two years ago that the IRA would be back in business and the truck queues to Dover would reach Manchester. This was met with much bafflement by otherwise intelligent folk, which is some indication of how the referendum debate had been conducted. At long last, people are finally hearing that trading arrangements actually have to be negotiated, customs arrangements can be painful, and you can't make a hard border between two entirely separate jurisdictions go away with an iPhone app.
I don't think they were 'alarmist fibs'. The problems were there to be seen, and, the effect was on the common person. Their daily lot had diminished over the years, and the unfettered immigration was an obvious and visible cause.
Steve_M. says:
The irony of the whole Brexit mess is that, before it joined the EEC at the beginning of 1973. the UK under four prime ministers – MacMillan, Douglas-Home, Wilson, and Heath – was pounding on the door of the Common Market to allow it to become a member. Now, after more than 40 years as a member of the EEC / EU, the UK has said it wants out. It's certainly not the only EU country to be chafing under the multitude of strangling regulations put out by the Brussels bureaucrats, but leaving the organization makes one wonder how the UK will be clearly better off on its own. At the very least, the UK will need to have with the EU a trade agreement similar to what the EFTA countries have (Switzerland actually has a separate trade agreement with the EU). It could even try to rejoin the old EFTA. But, striking out on its own without any kind of a life-raft will leave the British in a terrible mess.
A further note. Does this sound familiar? From a BBC News item on the French riots today.
"But across the country the cause is extremely popular. They say – quite proudly – that they are the "sans-dents", the great unwashed, the forgotten majority from the sticks. And they've had enough."
"sans-dents", "deplorables", "Brexiters". There is a message in there to which the western elites and the vast majority of the media corps are deaf.
The average citizen in Britain was being hammered by low wages and inflating housing costs. You've hear of gentrification? – the process whereby the poor are forced out of an urban area by rising prices. Well that was happening in the UK with London especially no longer being a British city.
So low wages, inflated housing costs, "financially cleansed" cities and add in high crime and you have very big reasons to demand change by a large number or people. There is also the factor of the "green zone" being turned into Swiss cheese by rampant development.
From a longer term perspective, the concept of bringing more people into Britain is ludicrous. The country is resource negative in any commodity you can name from food to energy to minerals. Energy embedded in imports add another 30+% to this resource deficit.
So the future for Brits, as with many struggling middle and lower classers in western country was to accept their declining lot or vote for change when they had the chance.
Why are elites not able to understand the math from the lower rungs on the ladder?
Then try to explain, in clear terms, how the UK – including the people on the "lower rungs" of life – will be clearly better off after it breaks away from the EU. What will the country do, for instance, if Scotland votes to secede, taking with it the North Sea oil resources, in order to negotiate its own "re-entry" into the EU? I'm with Eric and the rest who believe that the UK (including the people on the "lower rungs") will be worse off without the EU and will regret leaving it, so by all means try to prove us all wrong.
We'll see what happens to the cost of housing and real wages plus the wage and employment gains at lower and middle income levels. If these are positive, then Brexit will be a success.
But the media probably will not cover these, they'll point to falling real estate prices and possibly lower GDP and cry catastrophe. And for them, and their finance, cheap labour and realtor sponsors, it will be. But the nation will be better off.
But we'll see in a couple of years.
The answer is simple… the elites are at the top of the ladder, gazing off into a relatively comfortable future… never bothering to look down; it's beneath them.

Reasonable adjustments; have you made yours?
Sue Watling / February 13, 2015 / digital inclusion, digital literacies, inclusive design, reasonable adjustments
This week the Inclusive Digital Resources Working Group met for the first time. The aim of this group is to make recommendations for ensuring all students/staff have access to accessible and inclusive digital resources for learning and teaching. One of the drivers for the formation of this group is changes to the DSA (Disabled Student Allowance) which will remove additional technology support for students with dyslexia and other conditions. Peter Willets announced the changes in April 2014 saying 'The need for some individual non-medical help (NMH) may be removed through different ways of delivering courses and information. It is for HEIs to consider how they make both anticipatory reasonable adjustments and also reasonable adjustments at an individual level.' Greg Clark in September 2014 added 'alternative provision in the form of university provided services such as printing services and books and journals in electronic format to be considered as alternatives' and included the reminder 'Universities should discharge their duties under the Equality Act to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate disabled students.' The changes will come into effect for September 2016.
Neither statement mentions the principles of universal design whereby changes for some create improvements for all. This is a shame because inclusion lies at the heart of the matter. It involves thinking beyond your own experience and considering diversity. Access to digital resources is a bit like the old Cadbury's crème egg question How do you eat yours? We all have our own ways of working in online environments. The problems arise when assumptions are made which don't take into account individual difference.
The key to reasonable adjustments is choice. Digital data supports personalisation. There is no one size fits all way of designing documents and presentations so the best alternative is uploading versions which can be customised to suit individual preference. The user should be able to change the size, shape and colour contrast to whatever works for them Where users can't adjust content, it's down to individuals to make reasonable adjustments like not placing text over an image and providing textual equivalents and user controls to multimedia.
Design is a political act. Putting content into the public domain involves decisions which determine access. This is power and with power comes responsibility. Reasonable adjustments to the provision of teaching and learning resources is not just about students with disabilities, its about maximising the affordances of virtual learning environments and improving access for everyone. The Inclusive Digital Resources Working Group will be contacting student reps, collating advice on best practice and making recommendations to the Learning Development and Environment Standing Group which reports to the Education and Student Experience group. The principle of reasonable adjustments is an opportunity to go back to basics, to review the minimum requirements for digital content and rethink what its means to be digitally literate.
So, on the question of reasonable adjustments – how will you be making yours?

Hat-trick – all talk and no action?
Sue Watling / December 9, 2010 / digital exclusion 2010, equality and diversity
It's been a busy few months for e-accessibility. You could be excused for missing the Single Equality Act October 1st because the media seemed to miss it too. The Act significantly increased responsibility on information providers to ensure their online content is accessible for disabled people; so it can only be a matter of time before a successful exposure of the inaccessibility of 99% of public websites to access technology – can't it?
Next: the e-Accessibility Action Plan: Making Digital Content Available to Everyone on October 12th. This reminds us e-Accessibility is essential as the government delivers more and more services online (Universal Credit anyone?) and will 'ensure accessibility, affordability and equal participation for disabled users in the digital economy'
Final player in this triptych: BS 8878:2010 Web accessibility – Code of practice on December 7th. The BSI says it's the first British Standard to address the growing challenge of digital inclusion Hurray… but then identifies the excluded as being the disabled and older people Boo…..
Two issues here. Firstly the government appears to be moving further away from Labour's explicit linkage of digital exclusion with existing categories of social exclusion. The UK National plan for digital participation included low income households, people with no formal qualifications, single parents, new immigrants and those living in geographically remote communities alongside older and disabled people (2010:13) as groups likely to experience digital exclusion. Secondly the new trend of linking disability and older people is worrying; it's a blanket expression that implies 'not part of the workforce' therefore not contributing to the economy. The message that inclusive practice benefits all is missing.
The social model of disability was a giant step for individual rights to participation but the original meaning (an individual disabled by society not by themselves) is being diluted and the 'society' part forgotten. Slowly but surely we are moving back to a deficit medical model. Boundary lines are being redrawn and the label 'disabled' continues to imply exclusion through unwelcome difference. We need to fight this discriminatory mergence. The Papworth Trust write 83% of people disabled by society acquire their disability in life; they are not born with it. All of us however, will get old.

Sue Watling / August 13, 2010 / inclusive design
The Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) website have produced a document 'Implications for Higher Education Institutions' referring to the Single Equality Act'. They also have a useful link on their home page How can academics ensure the materials they produce are accessible for all students?
The Single Equality Act is a complex piece of legislation; there are nine areas against which it is illegal to discriminate and HEIs still have the responsibility to make 'reasonable adjustments' in order to ensure a disabled person is not treated less favourably than a non-disabled one. The word disabled is in itself contentious. It doesn't make explicit that being 'disabled' is about society and not the individual, that being disabled is about being denied access to participation through society's failure to recognise sufficient categories of difference. The external social environment functions at the level of the majority or the level of the individual who is operating as the provider of 'goods, facilities, services and public functions'.
With regard to virtual learning environments this is about the MEE Model. The person creating and uploading digital content using Mouse, Eyes and Ears and assuming everyone accessing that content is doing the same – when this might not be the case. As we head towards the start of a new academic year, it's worth revisiting the subject of promoting inclusive practice with digital data. Look out for PIP2 following shortly 🙂

Le baroque Narychkine, également appelé plus tardivement baroque de Moscou ou baroque moscovite, est le nom donné à un style particulier d'architecture baroque russe apparu à Moscou aux s.

Terminologie

Dans la seconde moitié du , en Russie, un tournant important se produit dans la société qui redonne à l'homme une place centrale dans l'art et dans la pensée. Ce phénomène est appelé par les russes « prérenaissance russe ». Mais il apparaît bien plus tardivement que le phénomène européen occidental de la Renaissance qui est déjà présent au , en Italie. En architecture, il se traduit par une distanciation des critères de l'architecture du Moyen Âge et une rationalisation dans les choix des ordres architecturaux.
À la fin du -début du , ce style architectural russe fut étudié et classé séparément de celui des autres arts et lié aux ordres architecturaux d'Europe occidentale. Dans l'ignorance des origines de son développement, utilisant la seule chronologie de l'Europe occidentale, le mouvement fut appelé « baroque ». Il faut tenir compte du fait que suivant les idées de l'époque les progrès en art et dans la culture russe de la fin du  étaient liés exclusivement à  et à son entourage.  C'est la raison pour laquelle la variante russe du baroque fut appelée « Narychkine », du nom de la lignée maternelle du tsar. Cette famille était considérée comme la première à se distinguer dans ses choix architecturaux du style des édifices de l'ancienne Russie. Les premiers édifices de ce style Narychkine sont : l'église de l'Intercession-de-la-Vierge (Fili) et la cathédrale du monastère Saint-Pierre-le-Haut.
.

Plus tard, dans les années 1960, à la suite des études entreprises sur le baroque Narychkine, il fut établi que la cathédrale du monastère Vysokopetrovski avait déjà été construite au début du . D'autres édifices construits avant comme l'église de l'Intercession-de-la-Vierge, avaient déjà le même style architectural. Parmi ceux-ci le couvent de Novodievitchi, et d'autres, dont certains ont été détruits. La dénomination « baroque Narychkine » a ainsi perdu de son actualité.

Toutes ces études ont montré des liens plutôt proches de l'architecture de la Renaissance. Mais, malgré tout, le terme « baroque » fut conservé pour désigner ces édifices moscovites quoique les chercheurs considèrent qu'il s'agit de « baroque faisant fonction de renaissance. »

Étapes de développement du style

La période principale de développement de l'architecture du « baroque moscovite », est celle qui débute au début des années 1680 jusqu'au premières années de 1700. Dans les autres régions de Russie, où ce style s'est manifesté, mais suivant des aspects simplifiés, il est repris jusqu'à la fin du . L'essoufflement de ce style en Russie peut être lié au transfert de la capitale de Moscou à Saint-Pétersbourg et par les orientations propres aux architectes de Pierre Ier le Grand vers les goûts européens occidentaux.

Caractéristiques

Le baroque Narychkine tient essentiellement au mélange de l'architecture russe traditionnelle avec des éléments décoratifs inspirés de l'Europe centrale, de Pologne, d'Allemagne ou d'Italie et du baroque ukrainien. On oppose le Narychkine à une approche plus radicale du baroque, typique du règne de Pierre le Grand, symbolisée par la cathédrale Pierre-et-Paul de Saint-Pétersbourg.

Le baroque moscovite n'est pas une simple copie du baroque allemand ou italien. Il crée en effet sous l'influence de l'architecture ukrainienne en bois un type populaire d'église à étages sans équivalent en Europe. Ce style moscovite fut interrompu brutalement par l'ukase de  du  qui fit s'arrêter les travaux en cours à Moscou pour accélérer la construction de sa nouvelle capitale à Saint-Pétersbourg. Malgré la brièveté de son apparition, ce baroque moscovite fut fécond et est à la source d'édifices de premier ordre.
La première caractéristique de ces églises moscovites est la quasi-disparition de la forme en pyramide. Les cinq coupoles sont comme une obligation et sont posées sur des voûtes d'arêtes surchargées de kokochniki. Ces coupoles n'ont qu'un rôle décoratif.

Édifices baroques moscovites
 Le monument le plus typique est l'église d'Ostankino dédiée à la Sainte-Trinité. Elle date de 1668 et fut construite sur le domaine des boyards Cheremetev. Elle est surmontée de cinq coupoles sur minces tambours au-dessus de deux rangées de kokochniki qui se chevauchent. Les portails et les encadrements de fenêtres richement décorés sont de style baroque exubérant.
 La tour Soukharev démolie en 1934 sur l'ordre de Staline avait été élevée par Pierre  le Grand en l'honneur d'un échanson prénommé Soukharev sous la protection duquel le jeune tsar avait pu se réfugier pendant Révolte des streltsy est un autre exemple de baroque moscovite.
 La tour Menchikov construite de 1705 à 1707 devait dépasser en hauteur la tour Soukharev. En 1723 un incendie détruisit l'étage supérieur en bois. C'est un édifice de pur style ukrainien. À partir de 1714 l'oukase de Pierre le Grand interdit les constructions en pierre et paralyse l'architecture moscovite pendant un demi-siècle .
 Le monastère de la Nouvelle Jérusalem et son église principale de la Résurrection copiée sur le modèle du temple de Jérusalem est due à l'initiative du patriarche Nikon (patriarche de Moscou) initiateur de la réforme architecturale du baroque moscovite.
 L', construite en 1679 est également d'une richesse exubérante et colorée. Ses contemporains l'avaient surnommée  la Belle  (Krasnaïa). La corniche est décorée d'une frise en céramique. L'ensemble est bariolé de couleurs vives.
 L'église Saint-Nicolas « Grande Croix » construite à la fin du  a été détruite en 1934.
 Le Teremok de Kroutitski à Moscou au dessus des Portes saintes, entrée d'honneur de la résidence du métropolite .
 L'église de l'Intercession-de-la-Vierge d'Izmaïlovo  raïon d'Izmaïlovo à Moscou.
 L'église Saints-Boris-et-Gleb de Ziouzino
 L'église du Sauveur à Oubory

Q: Segmentation fault on file IO So my task is to implement a load function for a very simple server. And i cant really figure out where my segmentation fault is. I've tried to use GDB but since i use telnet with which i send http headers as input i've had a hard time with getting any results from it.
the function:
 //Loads a file into memory dynamically allocated on heap.
 //Stores address thereof in *content and length thereof in *length.

bool load(FILE* file, BYTE** content, size_t* length)
{
    //checks so file is open
    if(file == NULL)
    {
        return false;
    }

    char* buffert = malloc(BYTES * sizeof(char));

    while(true)
    {

        // read into buffert
        fread(buffert, BYTES, sizeof(char), file);

        //store the pointer of this buffert in content
        *content = buffert;

        //update length
        length += 1;

        // checks for eof
        if(feof(file) != 0)
        {
            break;
        }
    }

   free(buffert);

   return true;
}

"...BYTE, which we've indeed defined as an 8-bit char."
Thx!!

A:   *content = buffert;

vs.
   free(buffert);

BYTE** content points to memory which was de-allocated. you probably want to keep this data alive as long as buffert is alive, and deallocate it then.
plus, you probably meant to write length += BYTES , since you are already reading the whole file as once. (also, the while(true) is un-needed)

BERKELEY, Calif. – Two earthquakes shook Northern California overnight, including a 3.6-magnitude temblor in the San Francisco area that awakened people with a jolt.
The U.S. Geological Survey says it hit around 5:36 a.m. Thursday and was centered about a mile east of Berkeley.
Dozens of people throughout the Bay area reported feeling the temblor on the USGS's website, but a police and fire dispatcher said she had not received any reports of damage or injuries.
At 11:37 p.m. Wednesday, a 4.8-magnitude quake struck in the Sierra Nevada about 90 miles northeast of Sacramento.
A Nevada County sheriff's dispatcher in Truckee says it was a rolling quake and no damages or injuries were reported.

below is my query:
SELECT SUM(req.trequest) as REQ, SUM(win.count) as IMP
 FROM tab1  as req
JOIN tab2 as win ON (req.id=win.id AND req.zoneid=win.zoneid)
GROUP BY req.zoneid

I get below result,
REQ IMP
20  10
20  10

IMP count is correct but I get wrong REQ count. My expected result is
REQ IMP
10  10
10  10

How to get my expected result?

A: Let's try first sumwin.count and group records in sub-query, after it join tables. Try in following:
SELECT SUM(req.trequest) as REQ, SUM(win.count) as IMP
FROM tab1 as req
JOIN (
    SELECT SUM(win.count) as IMP, win.zoneid, win.id
    FROM tab2 as win
    GROUP BY win.zoneid, win.id) AS win ON req.id=win.id AND req.zoneid=win.zoneid
GROUP BY req.zoneid

A: Lets find the sum of trequest and count separately based on zoneid and id.Then use these two results ( t1 and t2 ) in the inner join.
Count mismatch problem shown in the question occur due to multiple rows satisfying the joining conditions.
In this solution we will only have one entry for each zoneid in both the results ( t1 and t2 ). So the problem is avoided.
Note: You can remove the id column from the GROUP BY clause if it doesn't make any difference.
SELECT t1.id, t1.zoneid, t1.REQ, t2.IMP FROM

(SELECT id,zoneid,SUM(trequest) as REQ
 FROM tab1  GROUP BY zoneid,id ) t1

INNER JOIN

(SELECT id,zoneid SUM(win.count) as IMP
 FROM tab2  GROUP BY zoneid,id ) t2

ON t1.id = t2.id
AND t1.zoneid = t2.zoneid

A: Instead of req.zoneid. You should try win.zoneid. What seems is that the rows in table 1 are counted multiple times as zoneid in table 2 comes twice. So win.zoneid would group it and avoid the repetition.
Updated: The solution posted by @mayur panchal is the correct one as you don't need to SUM the rows in first table as they belong to different zoneid. If you SUM them you will obviously get the 20 repeated twice.


@Prajzis - in #Zootopia carnivores eat plant-based proteins and insects. Bug-burga is their favorite restaurant - @ByronPHoward - got a pic?
@Prajzis in early versions of the movie they ate fish (which weren't "evolved" and didn't talk) But it confused the rules of the world.

Q: Prove of some vector's differential relations I want to know how to prove these two relations:
$(V⋅∇)V=\frac12∇(V⋅V)−V×(∇×V)$
$(∇.sv)=(∇s.v)+s(∇.v)$
[These relations are from Bird's Transport Phenomena]

A: I will use Einstein notation and cartesian coordinates.
For the first one, let's compute $\vec{v} \times (\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{v})$:
$$\begin{align}
(\vec{v} \times (\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{v}))_i&=\epsilon_{ijk}v_j(\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{v})_k\\
&=\epsilon_{ijk}v_j\epsilon_{kpq}\partial_pv_q\\
&=\epsilon_{ijk}\epsilon_{kpq}v_j\partial_pv_q\\
&=\epsilon_{kij}\epsilon_{kpq}v_j\partial_pv_q\\
&=(\delta_{ip}\delta_{jq}-\delta_{iq}\delta_{jp})v_j\partial_pv_q\\
&=v_q\partial_iv_q-v_p\partial_pv_i\\
&=\frac{1}{2}\partial_i(v_qv_q)-v_p\partial_pv_i\\
&=\frac{1}{2}\partial_i(\vec{v} \vec{v})-(\vec{v}\vec{\nabla})v_i
\end{align}$$
And if I'm right, your second identity is $\vec{\nabla}(s\vec{v})=(\vec{\nabla}s)\vec{v}+s(\vec{\nabla}\vec{v})$:
$$\begin{align}
\vec{\nabla}(s\vec{v})&=\partial_i(sv_i)\\
&=(\partial_i s)v_i+s(\partial_iv_i)\\
&=(\vec{\nabla}s)_iv_i+s(\vec{\nabla}\vec{v})\\
&=(\vec{\nabla}s)\vec{v}+s(\vec{\nabla}\vec{v})
\end{align}$$

Q: Set DataGridView Row Background Image in C# Winform Application I am working on a Windows form application where I need to set background image to the data row of data-grid view. For example if i am having 4 rows in my data grid, I want to repeat a image to the rows background but not to the whole grid-view. Image should be set as background image so that I can have text above the image. How could I achieve this? Please help.
Thanks in advance.

A: you can do something like :
Image img;

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    img = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Pictures\1.jpg");
}

private void GV_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
    e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(img, new Point(0, 0));
}

A: Add image to Resources in your Visual Studio project
Then in your MyDataGridView set (through Designer or by code) DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Transparent
And finally add event handler for .RowPrePaint
//In constructor
MyDataGridView.RowPrePaint += new EventHandler(MyDataGridView_RowPrePaint);

//Create event handler
private void MyDataGridView_RowPrePaint(Object sender, DataGridViewRowPrePaintEventArgs e)
{
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.MyImage, e.RowBounds);
}

If you need set DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = Transparent too...

Neola teen killed, three injured in accident
March 22, 2016 By Radio Iowa Contributor
A little more than six-years after a crash claimed the life of a female Tri-Center High School student and injured three other teens, tragedy has again struck the school district.
Crisis response and grief counselors will be available for students of the Tri-Center School District today , as they process the death of a male classmate and the injury of three others that occurred during a crash Monday evening.
A Ford F-150 pickup truck carrying four male high school students crashed and rolled over off Railroad Highway at around 5:40-p.m., just northeast of Neola. Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said the teens had just left track practice at Tri-Center High School when the single-vehicle crash happened.
The Sheriff says 14-year-old Gage Williams, of Neola, died from his injuries at Mercy CHI Hospital hospital. The driver of the vehicle, 18-year old Kael Karagianis and a passenger, 16-year old Jordan Macias, both of Neola, were also injured, and were also transported to Mercy CHI.
Sixteen-year old Kaden Karagianis, (the brother of Kael), was transported to Jennie Edmundson in Council Bluffs for treatment of injuries. The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing. No citations have been issued at this time.
Some patrons of the district may remember a crash a few miles north of the Tri-Center/Neola High School campus on March 17th, 2010 that claimed the life of 14-year old Katie Dyer, of Honey Creek. That accident, which involved a car that rolled over numerous times, also resulted in injuries to the driver, 15-year old Samantha Reid, who was from Honey Creek, and her 16-year old passengers Cari Wilson and Chelsea Birtwell, both of whom at the time, were from Persia.
In that crash, two of the girls, including Dyer, were wearing seat belts, the other two were not. All four were ejected from the vehicle. Reid was driving with a school license, which allowed students who are 14 ½ years of age or older, to drive to-and-from school.
The superintendent of the Tri-Center Schools, Tony Weer, says they took action immediately Monday after learning the district's students was killed in an accident.
"We were at the school late into the evening to meet with the students and talked with students and ensure that everybody had a chance, and somebody to process the situation with," Weer says. "We began again early this morning with the crisis response team and counselors from the Green Hills AEA."
Superintendent Weer says they will see how things go after today. He says they will meet with the crisis team throughout the day and then meet with the staff at the end of the day to see how the staff and students are doing, and then will make further plans.

You are more likely to quit smoking if you have appropriate support. You should tell your family, friends and work colleagues that you are trying to quit smoking so that they can offer you support and encouragement.
You have ever had an allergic reaction to Zyban, bupropion or any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet.
Allergic reactions can last a long time. Talk to your doctor about the management of the allergic symptoms.
You are usually a heavy drinker but you have suddenly stopped drinking alcohol or you plan to do so while taking Zyban.
You have suddenly stopped taking tranquillizers or you plan to do so while taking Zyban.
You have a brain tumour.
You are taking a medicine called a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI), or have taken a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor in the last 14 days.
You are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeeding, unless your doctor says you should.
Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of using Zyban tablets if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The tablets have passed the expiry date (EXP) printed on the pack.
Some people become depressed when they try to stop smoking; very occasionally, they may think about committing suicide, or try to do so. These symptoms have also affected people taking Zyban for smoking cessation. Bupropion, the active ingredient in Zyban is also used for treatment of depression. People taking anti-depressants sometimes have thoughts of harming or killing themselves. These thoughts may be increased when they first start taking them. If you feel depressed or think about suicide, get medical advice as soon as possible.
If you're not sure whether you should be taking Zyban tablets, talk to your doctor.
You have any mental disorder particularly bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression).
It is best to not drink alcohol at all or to drink very little while taking Zyban. If you drink a lot of alcohol or suddenly stop, you may increase your chance of having a seizure. Therefore, it is important to discuss your use of alcohol with your doctor before you begin taking Zyban.
Tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines (eg. medicines used to treat heart conditions, high blood pressure, psychological illnesses, cancer, depression, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, muscle relaxants, medicines used to prevent stoke), including medicines you buy without a prescription from a pharmacy, supermarket or health food shop. This includes nicotine patches or nicotine gum. Some medicines may affect the way others work. It is important not to take medicines that may increase the chance of you having a seizure (fit), for example antimalarials, tramadol (a pain killer), theophylline for asthma, medicines that suppress your appetite, sedating antihistamines, antibiotics belonging to the quinolone class, and steroid tablets and injection. Therefore, you should make sure that your doctor knows about all medicines you are taking or plan to take.
Zyban tablets are not recommended for use in children less than 18 years.
The course of Zyban tablets consists of two prescriptions: an initial prescription of 30 tablets followed by a second prescription for 90 tablets.
Your first prescription of 30 tablets will last you approximately 14 days. It is vital that you obtain the second prescription of 90 tablets and have it ready before you run out of tablets from your first prescription.
Your doctor will tell you how many Zyban tablets to take and how often to take them. You will also find this information on the label of your medicine. If you do find your sleep disturbed, try not to take Zyban too close to bedtime. If you take two tablets, take one early in the morning and one late in the afternoon. Leave 8 hours between tablets.
The first prescription for Zyban tablets is for 30 tablets. This represents slightly more than 2 weeks supply of the tablets.
Take your medicine as your doctor has told you. The usual recommended dose is one 150mg tablet each day for the first 3 days. On the fourth day, begin taking one 150mg tablet twice daily. Doses should be taken at least 8 hours apart.
You need to visit your doctor for the second prescription of tablets before you run out of tablets from the first prescription.
The second prescription for Zyban tablets is for 90 tablets. This represents slightly more than 6 weeks supply of the tablets.
Take your medicine as your doctor has told you. The usual recommended dose is one 150mg tablet twice daily. Doses should be taken at least 8 hours apart.
Do not take more tablets than your doctor has prescribed. This is important so you do not increase your chance of having a seizure (fits or convulsions).
It takes about 1 week for Zyban to reach the right levels in your body to be effective. So, to maximise your chance of stopping, you should not stop smoking until you have been taking Zyban for 1 week. You should set a date to stop smoking during the second week you're taking Zyban.
Most people should take Zyban for at least 7 weeks. Follow your doctor's instructions.
The Pharmacist's label on the pack will tell you how to take Zyban tablets. If there is something you do not understand, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Zyban and nicotine replacement therapy (ie nicotine patches or nicotine gum) should only be used together under the supervision of your doctor.
It is important to swallow Zyban tablets whole. Do not chew, divide, or crush tablets - if you do the medicine will be released into your body too quickly. If this happens you may be more likely to get side effects including seizures (fits).
Immediately telephone your doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 131126) for advice, if you think you or anyone else may have taken too much Zyban tablets, even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning. You may need urgent medical attention.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking Zyban tablets if you are about to be started on any new medicines.
You should minimise or avoid drinking alcohol when you are on Zyban treatment.
Do not stop taking Zyban tablets, or change the dose without first checking with your doctor.
Do not use Zyban tablets to treat any other complaints unless your doctor says to.

Culture / The Japanese Sword Column
Introducing the New Column: The Secrets of the Japanese Sword
Paul Martin January 24, 2017 6:24 pm Leave your thoughts
Pictured: This blade is an utsushi-mono by the master swordsmith Ono Yoshimitsu of an 800-year-old blade called Yamatorige. It is an illustration of the continuity of the traditions of Japanese sword making that continue to this day. Photo: Tom Kishida
Like many other Westerners, my introduction to Japanese swords (and Japanese culture) was through martial arts and samurai movies. My father practiced karate in the late 1960's and early 70's. I began karate at seven years old and grew up hearing about samurai spirit and bushido. Although I did not really know what they meant at the time other than to not give up, while at the same time being respectful. Around this time, I had only perceived Japanese swords as cool weapons worn on the hips of heroic looking samurai warriors.
In 1993, I joined the British Museum in London. My colleagues knew of my interest in samurai and took me to see the swords on display in the Japanese gallery. I had finally got to see a real "samurai sword" up close. They were breath-taking, I was completely blown away at how intricate and intrinsically beautiful they were. I avidly read all the information panels about them, learning about their unique manufacturing methods and that in Japan they are not considered merely weapons, but objects of great beauty with profound spiritual meaning. The feelings that I had sensed about them without actually seeing one were confirmed. On the same occasion, I was informed that there was an actual Japanese sword specialist employed at the museum. I was completely surprised to learn of such an occupation. I was so captivated by the swords I think that I had decided in that instant what I wanted to do with my life.
Later, through a series of fortunate events, I became an assistant curator to my first sword teacher and head of the Japanese department, Victor Harris. I was able to view a sword for the first time. Once unsheathed, I held it out at arms length and was able to clearly see the almost organic lines of the curvature of the blade. I was also able to feel its weight in my hands while observing the beauty of the hues and textures of the wood-like grain pattern of the folded steel (hada), and the crystalline structures in the pattern of the hardened edge (hamon) that were revealed by an almost diaphanous highly polished surface that made me to feel like I was peering into the steel itself. I was in heaven. I had the strange experience of getting goosebumps all over, but at the same time strangely calmed by the beauty of the blade. Later, under the watchful eye of Victor Harris, I was trained to maintain the swords using traditional methods, and given the responsibility of the day to day care of the Japanese arms and armor collection, including putting them on and taking them off of display in the gallery.

Another aspect of my job in the Japanese department was to courier objects from the collections to and from Japan. Not only had I now been able to handle Japanese swords, but I also had the opportunity to go to Japan on a regular basis. While on trips to Japan I would extend my trips by taking some of my vacation days and visit Japanese scholars who had come to visit our department in London. I was very fortunate to be introduced to many of Japan's top sword scholars who would show me some of the nation's finest swords. My interest grew deeper and deeper until I realized that if I really wanted to become a sword specialist and understand Japanese swords and culture, that there was no alternative but to move to Japan.
After living in Japan for many years, I believe that the study of the Japanese sword from both an academic and a martial arts point of view is a window to the essence of Japanese culture. Studying the sword has also introduced me to other elements of Japanese culture. Elements such as, contradiction is a part of life and that opposing ideas may coexist. There are many things that may seem a contradictory to Western thinking: beauty in death; a sentimental appreciation of killing weapons; a sword that gives life; and a futuristic present that is steeped in conservative tradition. It is often the case in Japan that a situation will be left unclear, and rely on the passing of time for the reality of the situation to reveal itself. "Contradiction," or from another perspective, acceptance of each other's truths and differences, can also be seen reflected in the construction of a Japanese sword: two different steels of opposing qualities harmonizing to make one perfect sword.
One of the main themes in Japanese culture is the preservation of wa, or harmony. It may also be the difference in the philosophies of western and eastern religions, but in Japan there also instances of an appreciation of a beauty in death. The nearest comparison that I could make would be Shakespeare's artful penning of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. However, historical rituals of seppuku, death poems, and heroic deeds of warriors like Kusonoki Masashige, General Maresuke Nogi and his wife, have left a legacy of a sense of beauty in death.
Even though the fundamental function of a sword is that of a weapon, many scholars and sword enthusiasts often write about them in a very romantic or sentimental manner. This is also reflected in the terminology used to describe the crystalline activities in the steel. Japan's oldest extant collection of indigenous poetry, the Manyoshu, was compiled around 759 CE. Many of the poems are tinged with a sentimental sadness (mono no aware), a feeling that can also be found with the appreciation of swords and in the motifs of sword fittings such as torn fans (impermanence) and weather beaten exposed skulls (nozarashii), etc, and just as many later verses make allusions to earlier ones, so were later swords made as copies (utsushi-mono: reflective works) of masterpieces of earlier periods, and sword shapes of previous eras to be reflected upon in later periods. Manufacturing methods remain relatively unchanged for over a thousand years, and the practice of producing utsushi-mono continues today.
Along with cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji, the Japanese sword has become one of the enduring symbols of Japan. It has experienced centuries of warfare, evolved through Mongol invasions, survived the introduction of the musket, the end of the samurai era, modernization, and confiscation and destruction by the Allied forces following World War II. They are an anachronism in modern society, yet they continue to be made. They are an integral part of Japanese culture.
Today, I feel very fortunate that we have access to Japanese swords and can observe the artistry of blades that were previously only accessible by Japan's ancient military and social elites.
