Airway management in the presence of retrognathia, micrognathia, mandibular hypoplasia and macroglossia is a challenge to the anaesthesiologist. We present a case of a 29-year-old female admitted for mandibular enhancement with silicone implant placement. She had suffered a traumatic facial injury at the age of 5, for which she was operated twice to relieve the mandibular fusion. On airway examination, interincisor gap was less than two fingers with modified Mallampati Class IV, buck teeth and retrognathia. Computed tomography of the head and neck showed narrowed oropharyngeal airway and a short mandible with relative enlargement of the tongue [Figure 1]. The airway was anaesthetised using 4 mL of 4% lignocaine nebulisation and oxymetazoline drops were instilled in both the nostrils 20 min before shifting to the operating room (OR).
Figure 1: Computed tomography of the head and neck showing narrowed oropharyngeal airway and short mandible with relative enlargement of the tongue
In the OR, she received intravenous midazolam 1 mg, dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg bolus infusion over 10 min, followed by an infusion at a rate of 0.3 μg/kg/h. The nasal passage was anaesthetised using two puffs of 10% lignocaine spray. High-flow nasal oxygenation was started with a flow rate of 30 l/min. Awake fibreoptic intubation was attempted twice through the nasal route, but only the epiglottis was visible. She was not cooperating for nasal fibreoptic intubation. She received propofol 2 mg/kg along with sevoflurane 2%–3% concentration in 100% oxygen. We were able to ventilate the patient using a face mask. Fibreoptic intubation was successful on the 3rd attempt after applying jaw thrust along with gentle tongue traction provided by another anaesthesiologist. A 6.5-mm internal diameter endotracheal tube was passed into the trachea under fibreoptic view and confirmed by capnography. Anaesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in an air-oxygen mixture and intermittent doses of vecuronium. The surgical procedure was uneventful and the rest of the hospital stay was unremarkable.
Fibreoptic intubation is a method of choice in managing the anticipated difficult airway. Awake fibreoptic intubation may become difficult due to altered airway anatomy. The cause of difficult awake fibreoptic intubation in our patient was due to changes in anatomical features such as a receding mandible and a large tongue, resulting in narrowing of the retropharyngeal space. We did not attempt to place a supraglottic device or perform direct laryngoscopy because of a very narrow oropharyngeal space. The anterior larynx is often not aligned with the oral and nasopharyngeal axis because of the large tongue in such cases, creating a difficult airway. Jaw thrust is a common, simple and noninvasive method that is used during fibreoptic intubation. Lingual or tongue traction provides two distinct anatomic advantages in clearing the tongue away from the soft palate and uvula and lifting the epiglottis from the posterior pharyngeal wall. Fibreoptic intubation with lingual traction has a higher success rate when compared to fibreoptic intubation alone in a difficult airway.[1] Lingual traction not only keeps the tongue away from the soft palate and uvula but also lifts the epiglottis away from the posterior pharyngeal wall, thereby helping in improving the success of awake fibreoptic intubation.[2] Cao et al. compared the use of a novel indigenously-designed tongue root holder device for fibreoptic intubation during standard fibreoptic intubation. The mean time for successful first attempt intubation was shorter in the group where the indigenously-designed tongue root holder was used.[3] Thus, lingual traction along with jaw thrust is a valuable adjunct to fibreoptic intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airways as this manoeuvre provides better views of the glottic opening, resulting in greater success during tracheal intubation.[4]

Spoorlijn 39A was een korte Belgische spoorlijn van Moresnet naar Neutraal Moresnet / Kelmis. De lijn was 2,9 km lang.

Geschiedenis
De lijn werd geopend op 12 maart 1871. Oorspronkelijk was de lijn alleen voor goederenverkeer. Vanaf 1925 werd lijn 39A ook voor reizigersverkeer gebruikt. Na de sluiting in 1952 is de lijn opgebroken.

Huidige toestand
De bedding is thans een mooi wandelpad in de Geulvallei, met prachtig uitzicht op het viaduct van Moresnet. Er staan nog twee overwegwachtershuisjes. Het laatste deel van de lijn liep direct ten noorden langs de Aachener Strasse. De lijn eindigde bij het bestuursgebouw van Société des Mines et Fonderies de Zinc de la Vieille-Montagne, dat er nog steeds staat. Direct daarnaast staat het voormalige stationsgebouw op de Lütticher Straße 278. In het voormalige bestuursgebouw en station is Museum Vieille Montagne gevestigd, met onder andere aandacht voor de spoorgeschiedenis van de streek.

Texas lawmakers question DPS leaders about Sandra Bland video, tensions flare
Lawmakers questioned Texas DPS leaders about why the video, recorded in 2015, wasn't seen until now.
Author: Ashley Goudeau
Published: 8:19 PM CDT May 24, 2019
Updated: 8:21 PM CDT May 24, 2019
AUSTIN, Texas — Geneva Reed-Veal, Sandra Bland's mother, sat quietly in a committee hearing room in the lower level of the Texas Capitol extension Friday morning.
She told reporters she was "grateful" to be there to listen, for herself, to the testimony from the state's top law enforcement leaders about her daughter's case.
State Representative Garnet Coleman (D-Houston), Chair of the House Committee on County Affairs, called on Steven McCraw and Phillip Adkins – the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) director and chief counsel, respectively – to testify about the video Sandra Bland recorded of her confrontation with then-State Trooper Brian Encinia.
A video most people hadn't seen and didn't know existed until two weeks ago.
"There's nothing I can do in law to ever," Rep. Coleman began, then paused. "To ever make her feel that justice was ever, would ever, be done."
Bland recorded the July 2015 traffic stop that landed her in the Waller County Jail, where she was found dead in her cell three days later. Her death was ruled a suicide. The video she recorded was apparently not seen by lawmakers, Bland's family, their attorneys or the public until a reporter released it earlier this month – nearly four years later.

"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to refute, okay, this gross misinformation that was reported to the public," McCraw said in his opening statements.
McCraw and Adkins told lawmakers Waller County attorneys provided all of the data from Bland's phone to her family's attorney in October 2015.
"He says, 'If they had turned it over, I would have seen it,'" State Rep. Shawn Thierry (D -Houston) said. "I've not seen that. Which one is true?"
"I know that all of the data from the cellphone was delivered to him," Adkins answered. "I take him at his word that he did not see this video."
It raised the question from lawmakers: Did the family attorneys know they had the video?
Adkins confirmed when Waller County attorneys provided the video to the family attorney, they did not provide a table of contents or index of the data provided to him. But he added there was mention of Bland's video in the Ranger Report, which was also given to attorneys.
Adkins read what the report states about the video.
"The video recording depicted Trooper Encinia reaching into the car and then removed his taser from his holster while he ordered Bland out of the vehicle," Adkins said.
That description led to one, of many, heated exchanges between Rep. Coleman and the DPS leaders.
"That description of the video is not what you see on her video," Rep. Coleman said. "That's not what you see."
"I think it's an accurate description of the video," Adkins countered.
"You do?" Rep. Coleman questioned, sarcastically.
"Absolutely," Adkins said.
"You do," Rep. Coleman said again.
Rep. Coleman said if he seems "skeptical" it's because he has good reason. He has been investigating Bland's death for years. He stated upon his request for information, DPS also provided him with four discs containing the Ranger Report. But he describes it as a "data dump" that he and his staff couldn't decipher.
"So I'm asking a direct question, and I want a yes or no answer," Rep. Coleman said. "Was the video in that disk of information you sent to me?"
"I don't know that it wasn't," Adkins said.
Tensions continued to flare during the two-hour long hearing.

"If for some reason you didn't get it, I apologize for that," Adkins told Rep. Coleman, speaking about knowledge of the cellphone video.
"Well, you can apologize but –" Rep. Coleman said before he was interrupted.
"Well, I apologize that you didn't understand it because you did get it," Adkins said.
"What?" Rep. Coleman asked.
"Yes, you got it," Adkins said.
Questions from various lawmakers eventually resulted in a timeline of the video's eventual public release, which went as follows:
According to McCraw and Adkins, Bland was arrested on July 10, 2015. She was found dead in a Waller County jail cell on July 13. McCraw stated DPS knew she had taken cellphone video of the confrontation because she can be heard saying so in the dashcam video. On July 21, 2015, DPS released that dashcam video. After Bland's death, DPS obtained a search warrant to retrieve the video from her phone. It wasn't until September 17, 2015 that DPS received the video back after having the FBI get the file from her cell phone. Adkins said there is a certified mail document showing a thumb-drive with all of the data from Bland's phone was delivered to the family attorney on October 30, 2015. On June 28, 2017, DPS declared its active investigation complete and between June and July 2017, Bland's phone was returned to her mother. Adkins confirmed the phone was intact. Adkins revealed that on September 5, 2017, DPS released the video to KXAN News, but the station never aired it. On May 6, 2019, a Tegna station shared the video in a story with Bland's sisters and the family attorney.
"After her death, we were trying to figure out what happened that day that made this officer do what he did to bring her into custody," State Rep. Alex Dominguez (D-Brownsville) said. "And I think if we had seen that video, the public might have a different perspective on things."
Before leaving, McCraw told lawmakers he would work to make sure this didn't happen again.
"So let me ask you if you can commit to helping from your side," State Rep. Jon Rosenthal (D-Houston) said. "So in the case where something is delivered, something is requested by us in the legislature or another body just to check back and say, 'Did what we deliver fulfill your requirement' or is there some other way? You know what I'm asking – to just close the loop."
"Yes sir," McCraw replied. "Based on your statement today, that will be the new policy. And moreover, we're going to have a list that is more detailed to provide, to whomever requested the information so they can understand very clearly the contents in terms of what exactly we provided."
Rep. Coleman also asked Darren McCarty and Nichole Bunker-Henderson of the Attorney General's Civil Litigation Division to briefly testify, along with Jason Hermus, felony chief for the Dallas County Criminal District Attorney's Office.
The hearing ended shortly after 10 a.m., which was when the House was scheduled to begin meeting for the day.
But Rep. Coleman made it clear he's not finished with this investigation.
"We're going to have another hearing," Rep. Coleman said. "Now I know we have to."

Enjoy this vegan deep dish pizza, featuring layers of vegan mozzarella on a crispy crust and topped with tomato sauce and vegan pepperoni. This vegan pizza is made with a thick crust and the best toppings. You simply won't find a better deep dish pizza recipe, whether vegan or not! You'll love the easy-to-follow instructions on how to make deep dish pizza, even including instructions on layers!
This vegan deep dish pizza will help you embrace the weekend with passion! It's just that good!
This vegan deep dish pizza was inspired by a trip to a famous Chicago-based eatery that specializes in deep-dish pizza. Chicago is the home of the deep dish pizza, so it was the perfect place to get inspired.
But here's what I love so much about this recipe: if you can eat things like Vegan Deep Dish Pizza it sure makes sticking to a vegan diet a lot more tasty!
Let's begin with the most important step…the crust. First, combine the yeast with warm water and a little bit of sugar. Let the yeast get bubbly.
In the meantime, combine the flour with the other dry ingredients in a large bowl. Give it a good stir.
Then add the yeast and oil mixture to the flour and stir until it turns into a dough ball. I like the knead the dough right in the bowl. That way you won't have to deal with messy countertops…at least not yet.
Cover the bowl and set aside to allow the dough to rise, at least an hour or more.
While you're waiting for the dough to rise, you can prepare the toppings, such as chopping the tomatoes.
Interestingly enough, a deep dish pizza begins with the cheese right next to the crust.
So, you'll roll the dough into your deep dish pizza pan and then begin by placing vegan cheese slices on the bottom.
Follow that with the tomato mixture, and then add vegan pepperoni slices. Finally, give it a sprinkle of vegan parmesan to finish it off and you're ready to bake this pizza!
What does deep dish pizza mean?
A deep dish pizza has a thick crust made in a pan or even a skillet with taller sides. I like to think of it more like a pizza pie. Another distinctive difference is that the cheese goes on the bottom of a deep dish pizza pie, rather than the top.
Eat this pizza with a fork or with your hands. It's delicious either way!
Can I freeze Deep Dish Pizza?
You can freeze deep dish pizza. The best way to do this is to allow the pizza to cool completely (you can speed this up by placing it in the fridge after it's cooled for about 15 minutes), then slice the pizza. Place individual slices on a try and place the tray in the freezer. Once the pieces are frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and return to the freezer.
To reheat pizza, I highly recommend using a toaster oven or oven. That will help the crust stay crispy, even for the leftovers!
We hope you love this Deep Dish Vegan Pepperoni Pizza as much as we do. If you decide to give it a try, send us a photo using #namelymarly on your favorite social media. We love seeing your Photos!
Enjoy layers of vegan mozzarella on a delicious, crispy crust and topped with red sauce, vegan pepperoni, and your other favorite pizza toppings.
Pour the water in a small bowl and heat in the microwave about 11 seconds. You should be able to dip your finger in the bowl and not feel it's either too hot or too cold. Once the temperature is just right, add the yeast and sugar and stir. Set aside to proof the yeast, about 5 minutes. Once it's proven itself, add the vegetable oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt, and ground flax seed. Stir together, until well combined.
Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the flour and stir vigorously for several minutes. This is a nice, pliable dough so I was able to knead it right in the bowl for 5 – 7 minutes. You want to reach the point where you can make an impression with your thumb in the middle of the dough and the dough raises back. Pour the olive oil over the dough and turn it several times to ensure both the dough and the bowl are coated with oil. Cover and set aside to rise. It will need about 2 hours to rise.
Once the dough is ready, cover it with a large sheet of waxed paper and use a rolling pin to spread it out to the dimensions of your pan. This will fit a 12″ deep dish pizza pan. Make sure you allow the dough to fit up the sides of the pan a bit to create a sort of deep-dish pizza bowl! Set aside to prepare your toppings.
Whenever you're ready to prepare your topping, begin by heating your oven to 450F.
Next, place the thinly sliced vegan Jack cheese across the bottom of the dough. Cover that with the shredded vegan mozzarella. Spread it out so you don't see any of the pizza dough coming through.
Place the chopped tomatoes in a food processor along with the basil, oregano, and vegan parmesan. Pulse for just a few seconds. You want the tomatoes to be fairly ground, but still with lots of texture. Spread the tomato mixture over the cheese.
Spread the chopped slices of vegan pepperoni evenly over the top of the tomato mixture.
Sprinkle with additional vegan parmesan.
Place in your prepared oven for 20 – 25 minutes. The dough should be showing through with a nice golden color. Allow the pizza to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Buy store-bought vegan pepperoni or make your own homemade vegan pepperoni.
Oooo, Marly, I want a slice of this for breakfast. Looks so good!
I love a good deep dish pizza, and it's been way too long since I've had some! Yours looks beautiful!
This looks just amazing. I love a good, chewy deep dish.
You make amazing food Marly! This looks absolutely delicious!
oh, my gosh, I'm drooling everywhere, lol. Have you ever done sourdough with pizza. I've been wondering about that too.
Looks lovely! Unfortunaely there's a lot of the lovely ingrediense, we don't have here in DK, but I'll have a look for substitues. The link for the vegan parmesan is not working.
Hi Deborah. Thanks for letting me know about the link. It should be fixed now. You can substitute nutritional yeast flakes for vegan parmesan. Also, I do have a recipe for vegan a vegan mozzarella sauce. It probably won't be exactly the same as the commercial products you can buy, but it might be good while you're waiting for those to make it out your way.
This looks fantastic! The food I have been craving most since going vegan has been pizza.
So I tried this and it was fantastic. The best pizza I have had in a long time. And it more than satisfied my craving. I used Teese mozzarella cheese which is my favorite.
Hi! This recipe looks great! I'm thinking about switching to a Vegan diet after I finish the Master Cleanse and pizza is my GREATEST weakness. Do you happen to have the nutritional info for this recipe, like the serving size and calories per serving?
I put together some information to come to an estimate of calories. Let's start with the pizza in its original, meat-based form. You can expect to consume 413 calories per slice and that includes 17.2 grams of fat (9 of those saturated) and 53 mg of cholesterol. From what I can tell, the vegan version comes at a price of 331 calories per slice, 14 grams of fat (6 saturated) and 0 mg of cholesterol. That's a savings of over 81 calories, 3 grams of fat, and 53 mg of cholesterol per serving! I hope this is helpful!
How do you get your cheese to turn out perfect? Whenever I attempt to make vegan pizza, the cheese always turns into liquid, which is really unappetizing to me. Your pizza looks like it turned out just right!
Hmm, I will have to think about this one. With vegan cheese I usually try to keep the temperature low – around 350 – 400F. Then if I find it doesn't melt to my liking, I will crank up the heat for the final few minutes of baking. You could also try covering it with a sheet of aluminum foil to protect it from too much heat. Let me know if this works!
I tried this tonight and it came out great! I didn't have a pizza pan, so I used a nonstick lasagna pan. The crust was thicker, but it was just fine. I thought it would need a little salt, and I added some, but it didn't need it, so I would recommend not adding any. The cheeses and pepperoni are salty enough. I thought I had enough tomatoes, and when I realized I didn't (and didn't feel like going to the store), I grabbed some diced tomatoes and used that minus the juice to make up the difference. This recipe was a pleasant surprise, I would definitely do it again.
Salt is always a little touchy. It's so easy to overdo it!! I prefer to kind of "undersalt" things and then allow each person to add more to their individual serving. So glad you liked the pizza!! Like the changes you made too!
I've made this pizza twice. The first time I thought it was too heavy on the cheese. The second time, I only used about 1/3 of the cheeses, and it turned out fabulous. Though, instead of using store-bought dough, I'm going to have to try the third time with the dough. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks, Diana! I'm sure the amount of cheese used as an individual preference. I was trying to replicate a Chicago-style deep dish pizza, which is very, very cheesy! I do like a lot of cheese on my pizza, but my husband, Shawn prefers less. Regarding the dough, sometimes I'll make dough a head of time and keep it in the freezer. There's nothing like homemade pizza dough!

The popularity of cleansing bars has increased throughout 2018. This is in part due to a heightened interest in packaging free/reduced packaging and cleansing bars are easily packed into biodegradable waxed paper, or a cardboard sleeve or simply sold naked!
Global Cosmetics News listed Carbon Theory's Charcoal and Tea Tree Oil Breakout Control Cleansing Bar as one of the most viewed products of 2018. The bar contains Organic Charcoal to draw out bacteria, toxins and excess oil; Organic Tea Tree Oil a natural antiseptic which reduces inflammation and helps keep skin clear; and Shea Butter to nourish and hydrate the skin. The Body Shop also have a cleansing bar based on these ingredients. Their Charcoal is sourced from the Himalayan foothills, whilst their Tea Tree Oil comes from Kenya and they also include shea butter to moisturise the skin during washing. The Body Shop Version is packaged in paper.
The on-trend materials of charcoal and shea butter are both available from the Cornelius portfolio.
Our coconut shell charcoal from Sri Lanka is activated which is the very important point - only activated charcoal, which has been steam treated to imbue it with a pore structure, has all the purifying and cleansing attributes associated with the material. The porous structure of activated charcoal sets it apart from standard charcoal and allows it to deep clean pores and flush out toxins. It controls oily skin and is ideal for sensitive skin.
Our shea butter is an ethically sourced product from Burkina Faso, where our supplier Olvea have an active role in the community. They employ hundreds of women to collect and process the shea fruit (amongst other crops) and continually reinvest profits back into the area where they have built an energy efficient plant to develop a sustainable supply chain. Shea butter has a rich texture which melts into the skin thanks to its high levels of stearic acid. Meanwhile, it's high levels of oleic acid make it an excellent emollient which moisturises skin and hair to make them softer and more supple. Additionally, it protects skin against free radicals and oxidation and is a natural anti-inflammatory.


Sure, the past few days were all about getting President Obama inaugurated for a second time, so he can get to work for the next four years.
And ok, it's been fun checking out the First Lady's awesome clothing choices, including this and this and this. And Beyonce belting out the National Anthem.
But we were also mesmerized with America's First Kids, too. Here are ten reasons why Sasha and Malia Obama are the coolest kids ever.
1. Because they entered the inauguration wearing these color schemes and being the most awesome kids in America.
2. Because it was adorable when Sasha leaned on her big sister's shoulder.
3. Because Sasha has a cool turtle phone case.
4. Because they took this selfie with funny faces and Malia gave the peace symbol.
5. Because they looked utterly bored during the inauguration.
6. Because they chatted up their cool cousin with the cool haircut.
7. Because Malia broke Teen Code and kissed her dad in front of the whole world.
8. And Sasha broke Tween Code and did the same thing.
9. And now Dads everywhere will get kisses, and it'll be cool.
It was a pretty darn great color combination!
I think we have the most beautiful first family ever.
I agree with Living Large: The Obamas are simply a lovely family. It will be wonderful to watch them for four more years.
i LOVE 7, 8, and 9. but all of them are awesome! Great list!!
Funny. They must have infinite patience for all the stuff they have to sit through. It's a HUGE sacrifice for the family to make so that the President can serve.
Loved this! They are such a beautiful family. I don't think we've ever had such a good looking family in the white house.
I love that Sasha and Malia acted like normal kids at the inauguration. But I feel sorry for Malia if she wants to date in the next four years.


One of the key things you must to do to ensure you have a safe, happy holiday at Club MAC Alcudia is prepare for any possible health issues. Of course, the majority of our guests never need to visit the on-site doctor, or utilise health insurance, but it's always wise to be prepared.
We have an on-site doctor available every day during business hours, so that should be your first port of call if you are worried about anyone in your family.
Every country's health system is different and so ours may not provide everything that you can get from the NHS in the same way. This means you must pay an excess if you visit our doctor on-site, so make your travel insurance covers this.
If you are off-site and need emergency help, then you should call 112. This is our version of 999 and is free of charge to call. The word for A&E in Spanish is 'urgencias'. Obviously, if you are at Club MAC, our team will help you with everything you need.
Our on-site doctor means you will be treated privately, rather than through Spain's state system.
The UK Government advises you to always take out travel insurance when going on holiday overseas. This is for everywhere, including destinations within the EU and those outside of the EU. If you don't have an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), then you will be charged in full for any emergency care you have.
You should always make sure you have full travel insurance for you and members of your family to ensure you have access to any medical treatment abroad. If you do need treatment at Club MAC Alcudia, then ensure you keep all receipts and paperwork so that you can apply to your insurance company for a refund on costs.
What does the EHIC provide?
Currently, the EHIC (which is free to apply for), gives you access to the state-provided healthcare in Mallorca for a reduced cost. Sometimes the care might be free. If you are ever asked to pay up front of treatment, then this is not under the state health system.
The EHIC does not cover some costs. These include private treatment you have while on holiday, or the costs of returning to the UK. To check out the healthcare system in Mallorca, go to the Spanish Health Ministry's website, and search for the region on the map. It's in English too.
In the same way as at home, you might be referred for hospital treatment by the doctor you see. Ask to be referred to a state hospital if you wish, which will provide treatment for free. You will need a valid EHIC to access this. If you don't wish to be treated privately, you must double check this.
What about Brexit and the EHIC?
Nothing is yet confirmed regarding the UK leaving the EU and the affect this will have on the EHIC. Current advice from the Government is that if the UK leaves without a deal, then access to healthcare in Spain will probably change.
As you are planning to visit Club MAC after 29 March 2019, which is the current date set for Brexit, you must obtain travel insurance. Advice is to apply for a free EHIC, as this may still be valid. At the same time, buy travel insurance in the same way you would if you were visiting any non-EU country. Further advice will be issued by the Government regarding Brexit as circumstances allow.
Anyone with pre-existing conditions should have medical travel insurance before coming to Club MAC. Take any documents about your medication or condition with you, just in case. If you need to bring medication with you, get a letter from your GP explaining what the drugs are and why you need them. It's always a good idea to have this translated into Spanish too, just in case you need to see anyone during your holiday.
The doctor on-site at Club MAC Alcudia is a private doctor, which means that you will need to pay an excess on treatment. To ensure you are not charged, make sure your travel insurance has an excess included.
Inclusive of the excess you will be charged.
Medical expenses up to about £5m.
Repatriating you to the UK, which may be necessary on rare occasions.
Delayed and missed departures beyond your control.
The loss or theft of your passport. If this isn't included as standard, consider getting it added.


We all have heard about sleepwalkers and have even associated it with macabre behavior. The disorder isn't rare but is more common among children. It occurs during slow wave sleep stage, in a state of low consciousness, where the person performs activities they usually perform during a state of full consciousness. One hour or so after falling asleep is the most common time for its occurrence and can last for several minutes. If you wake up in your pajamas at night and find yourself out of bed, then you probably are a somnambulist. It could be quite disorienting to be one or to be living with one. But why does this disorder happen and what does it mean to people who suffer from it? Let's answer some of the most common questions asked about sleepwalking.
1. What are the usual things sleepwalkers do?
Despite its name, sleepwalking involves more than just walking in your sleep. The activities can be as simple as sitting down, walking to the bathroom or even doing household chores. These activities are benign and may cause little concern. However, some activities could be hazardous, not just to the walker but other people.
Talking, shouting, and sudden bolting from the bed and running away are also common among sleepwalkers. Some even begin their daily chores without being conscious that it is still night-time. Others can eat, drive, and do household chores. Unusual behaviors can include moving furniture, urinating in the wrong places, and cooking. Some activities can indeed be hazardous to both sleepwalkers and the people around them.


Another weekend, another event. This time on the edge of Wakefield on a Sunday teatime. So I had opportunity after lunch to set off a bit early in search of the 4 Church Micros in Ossett, I though maybe an hour and a half would be long enough to find the four multicaches, but I underestimated and so didn't get the last one as it was a fair way off the nearest road and I had run out of time to walk it.
This multi-cache had an easy set of clues on the noticeboard outside the church and then a short trip to the final, where finding it was easy once I realised that it wasn't in someones garden, just close to it.
A good event, chatted about caches, ridiculed the Munzeers, entertained people with Periscope (an app whereby you can watch video broadcast by other users all around the world… so we were on one table using our phone to watch ourselves on video being broadcast from Bob Adams phone on the next table… Modern technology is great !
Not so much fun getting home, M1 shut at Jn41 which diverted you onto the A650 which was blocked up and a half hour crawl all the way to Tingley roundabout.

Q: Somehow, my class doesn't manage to define some variables So, I'm using whatever Object-Oriented options has to try and make a neat static image class so all I have to do is add said class to Canvas, and it will draw itself out! To test if everything worked, I added up some alerts. Now my Function starts spewing 'undefined' at the third alert.
function StaticImage(imgsource, cancontext, ex, wy) {
    this.x = ex;
    this.y = wy;
    this.context = cancontext;
    alert("Image class instantiated! " + imgsource);
    this.draw = function () {
        this.image = new Image();
        this.image.src = imgsource;
        alert("Draw function called!");
        this.image.onload = function () {
            alert(this.image + " loaded! drawing on: " + this.context + " at: " + this.x + ":" + this.py);
        };
        this.cancontext.drawImage(this.image, this.x, this.y);
    }
}

so, that would be the class, and this is the bit of Javascript used on the HTML Page that keeps the Canvas. First it creates the image bla.jpg, and then it does the same, only with the class...
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var bla = new Image();
bla.src = "bla.jpg";
bla.onload = function () {
    context.drawImage(bla, 50, 50);
};
var lol = new StaticImage("bla.jpg", context, 200, 200);
lol.draw();

A: function StaticImage(src, context, x, y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.context = context;

    // save reference to the instance
    var self = this;

    // initialize the image at initialization
    // time instead of at every draw
    self.image = new Image();
    self.image.onload = function() {
        // self will still refer to the current instance
        // whereas this would refer to self.image
        alert(self.image + " loaded! drawing on: " + self.context +
              " at: " + self.x + ":" + self.y);
    };
    self.image.src = src;

    alert("Image class instantiated! " + src);
}

// make draw function part of the prototype
// so as to have only 1 function in memory
StaticImage.prototype.draw = function() {
    alert("Draw function called!");
    this.context.drawImage(this.image, this.x, this.y);
};

Note: it's also important to set the image src after you've set the onload handler, because if the image is in cache you may miss the event.

A: I guess the problem here is that in
  this.image.onload = function() {
    alert(this.image + " loaded! drawing on: " + this.context + " at: " + this.x + ":" + this.py);
  }

the scope of the function onload is the object stored in this.image. So the this within the function means the image itself. And the properties image, context, x and y are probably undefined for this class.

2017 Match Previews
Orlando City at Montreal Impact: Match Preview, Starting XIs, Predictions, And More
Orlando City travels to Canada this weekend for a meeting with the Montreal Impact.
By Gavin Ewbank@GavinEwbank Aug 4, 2017, 2:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Orlando City at Montreal Impact: Match Preview, Starting XIs, Predictions, And More
Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports
Yet again, we're at the start of August and Orlando City finds itself chasing points from below the red line. The Lions continue to struggle to pick up wins after their blistering hot start in the first two months of the season, and are now trailing the Columbus Crew for the final playoff spot in the East by two points with 12 games left on the schedule.
This weekend, Orlando's pursuit for the playoffs continues when the club heads back over the northern border to take on the Montreal Impact (6-8-6, 24 points) on Saturday night at Stade Saputo (7:30 p.m. ET, TV27).
Orlando City (8-8-6, 30 points) is coming off of a 1-1 draw at Atlanta United last weekend. Kaká gave the visitors a lead shortly before the halftime whistle, but Hector Villalba, who is quickly becoming a thorn in Orlando's side, netted the equalizing goal in stoppage time to claim a result for the expansion side for the second week in a row.
Montreal comes in hoping to turn the ship around as well, having lost each of its last two games and four of the last six overall. This past weekend was a rough one for the Impact, as they left Red Bull Arena on Saturday with a 4-0 loss to the Red Bulls in hand. On the season, the Impact sit second to last in the East with 24 points through 20 games.
Orlando and Montreal have met just once this season, in a 3-3 draw in Orlando back in June, after Jonathan Spector's late goal equalized for the Lions. Ignacio Piatti scored twice and Blerim Dzemaili added another to give Montreal a 3-2 lead in that game despite the Lions looking like the better side most of the match. Spector's goal rescued a point in stoppage time.
Projected Lineups
After quick stops in Chicago to take part in the MLS All-Star Game on Wednesday night, Kaká and Dom Dwyer flew directly to Montreal for tomorrow's match.
Dwyer made his debut for the club against Atlanta after just two days of training, and even though he started the match and played the majority of the game, he still looked like a guy that had only been with the team for just two days and is clearly still settling in with his new club.
Cyle Larin typically doesn't perform well in games in his home country, but his partnership up top with Dwyer will be a focus once again this week. Hopefully the Lions can find the right way to feed those two the ball, which they couldn't do against Atlanta with a slew of low-quality long balls over the top.
The Impact haven't made a whole lot of news in the league this season after finishing runner-up to Toronto FC in the Eastern Conference Finals last year. As I've mentioned, they're sitting in the bottom third of the league standings and all but it's still not safe to say they won't be challenging for the MLS Cup again this season.
Piatti is the team's best player and a focal point for the Impact on the attack, with eight goals in 15 games this season. Homegrown forward Anthony Jackson-Hamel is another name to watch out for. He has five goals this season and returned to the squad this past weekend against New York after featuring for Canada in the Gold Cup last month.
Player to Watch For
If you were to make a list of the most underrated players in the league, chances are you would want to put Piatti near the top. Playing for Montreal,he tends to fly under the radar, but make no mistake, he's one of the most talented attacking players in the league and can skillfully slice through defenders. Orlando City's defensive midfielders will need to keep a close eye on him.
Prediction: Orlando City 2, Montreal Impact 1
Orlando was able to get a result on the road at Atlanta, which is a positive thing, and Montreal is struggling this season. I think the Lions will be able to carry that momentum and pick up all three points from this one.

It has been 20 years or so since the names Tara Barnwell, Michael Moffat, Elinor Vincent and Darla Youngs have appeared together on the masthead of "The Freeman's Journal." A confluence of events perhaps regarded by some as a perfect storm—or an imperfect storm, by others—has brought us all together again.
"The Freeman's Journal" is arguably one of the oldest weekly newspapers in the nation. Founded by Judge William Cooper, it began as the "Impartial Observer" in 1808 with publisher William Andrews. A year later, both the name of the paper and the publisher had changed, becoming the "Cooperstown Federalist" under the direction of John H. Prentiss. The newspaper's flag finally stuck in 1817 and has remained "The Freeman's Journal" ever since. The Journal's sister newspaper, "Hometown Oneonta," is a mere babe in the woods by comparison at just 15 years old.
"So what?" you ask. "Newspapers are dying," you say. And you aren't wrong. According to a Northwestern University journalism school report, referenced in "The New York Times" last June, more than 360 newspapers in the U.S. have gone out of business since just before the start of the pandemic. We do not consider these statistics to be a death knell. Instead, we view them as a challenge to do better, to do more. To be more.
You may have noticed the changes in "The Freeman's Journal" and "Hometown Oneonta" these past few months. We hope you have. Each week, we are experimenting with the layout of the papers, working to fit more news in the available space. We have hired new staff and recruited new contributing writers. We have new advisors and an expanded Editorial Board. We are being creative about how we incorporate the press releases, photographs and news tips we receive. We're working on a new website. And we're strategizing ways to increase our advertising base so we can, in turn, increase the news hole.
Essentially, it's a new year and a new paper. Or is it? Readers familiar with the previous era of Barnwell, Moffat, Vincent, and Youngs may have recognized our return to coverage of people and businesses in the news, or the full-page "Time Out" section we ran several weeks ago, soon to be a regular feature. They may note with nostalgia the return of "The Partial Observer" heading later this month—signifying contributed pieces which may or may not reflect the newspapers' views, policies and positions.
Moving forward, quite simply, we are dedicated to rebuilding local news. Your news. We want to hear all about your organizations, clubs, businesses, civic groups and libraries. We want to share your births, deaths, weddings, promotions, awards and events. We will strive to cover topics that inform, interest, and entertain you, in both feature and hard news formats. And, of course, we want to continue to be your source as you seek that great sale, popular restaurant, new store or new car.
"The Freeman's Journal" has served a vital function in Otsego County for more than 200 years. As a small, independent newspaper publishing company in an age of digital media, we have to adjust our role in today's news ecosystem to ensure we do not meet the same fate as so many others of our kind. There is work to do, and don't we know it. The gang's all here, dear readers and advertisers. Now all we need, to beat the odds, is you.

glad you're still up and running.
The website is confusing. There's no grahic or headlines or category indicating this is home to The Freeman's Journal. Why not?

So glad you asked about the website! We are currently in the process of revamping. Changes coming soon!

HIV Seroprevalence among IV Drug Abusers and Role of Risk Behaviors
By Ponnudurai, R.; Shantha, S.; Uma, T.; Rajarathinam, S.; Krishnan, V.
Byline: R. Ponnudurai, S. Shantha, T. Uma, S. Rajarathinam, V. Krishnan
Among the various risk behaviors that are identified to cause HIV infection, intravenous drug abuse is also included. Besides aiming to evaluate the prevalence of HIV infection among the male IV drug abusers, this study was also designed to assess their risk taking behaviors. ELISA test for HIV infection was carried out in all 27 IV drug abusers who consented to participate in the study. Of them, 11 (40.74%) turned out to be HIV seropositive. All participants had history of needle sharing. Three of them indulged in homosexuality and inclusive of them six had contact with commercial sex workers. Additionally, two patients confessed to extramarital contact. Most of the HIV infected individuals were below 25 years of age when they commenced the IV drug abuse. In view of the coexistence of deviant sexual behaviors among most of the IV drug abusers, it is difficult to say that IV drug abuse alone is the causative factor for HIV seropositivity in all of them. Further research on IV drug abusers is indicated in order to ascertain whether the HIV transmission in them is through IV route or through their sexual contact, and also the differences, if any, in the nature of these two types of transmissions.
Intravenous (IV) drug use and multiple sexual partners - both homosexual and heterosexual - are the major risk factors among the mentally ill for HIV infection.[sup] [1] Yet another factor which promotes this group's vulnerability is the comorbid antisocial personality disorder. Globally, considerable importance is being given to the newly acquired HIV infection in the 16-20 age groups. Not surprisingly, in India too the adolescent group has been noted to have become more susceptible to the abuse of drugs.[sup] [2],[3]
Inevitably, studies on neuropsychiatric profile exclude IV drug abusers from the samples in order to avoid confounding variables.[sup] [4],[5] Such methodological procedures deprive us of comprehensive information on IV abusers. Hence, it becomes increasingly important to undertake studies exclusively on IV abusers to assess the factors related to the HIV infection in them. The present study sought to elucidate the prevalence of HIV infection among IV drug abusers and the potentially causative risk behaviors manifested by them.
All new male patients who were abusing drugs intravenously irrespective of the frequency, duration, or type of the substances and had reported to the research and treatment center for alcohol and drug dependence, Government Stanley Hospital, Chennai, for deaddiction management from January to September 2002 were chosen. Of the 34 patients selected, only 27 were willing to participate in the study. ELISA test for HIV was carried out in all these patients. Testing was done as per the guidelines of National AIDS control organization (NACO) under supervised pre- and post-test counseling. The results of all serum samples were reconfirmed in three immunoassays as per NACO guidelines.
Information provided by the subjects were confirmed and supplemented by the history obtained from one of their close relatives. Besides the demographic details, data regarding the date of commencement of their IV abuse, the type, frequency, method, and duration of the abuse of substances were obtained. Also, the pattern of their sexual relationships was elicited.
Out of the 27 IV drug abusers tested, 40.74% turned out to be seropositive for HIV. Interestingly, all of them had a history of needle sharing. However, sharing of needles was also detected in most of the HIV-negative individuals. It is of relevance to note that three of the HIV-positive subjects were also exposed to homosexuality and inclusive of them six had contact with commercial sex workers. Furthermore, two patients confessed to extramarital contact, although it was not with commercial sex workers. …

Are you doing your own market research? This could be very cost-inefficient. You could be spending more money (via your labor cost per hour) than you are saving by not purchasing research reports that have been done already. If you make $50,000 per year, that's $960 per week, or $24 per hr. If you spend 10 hours over 3-4 days searching the Internet for articles and information on your topic, then analyzing it, boiling it down, writing up your findings in your own words, creating a PowerPoint, you've just spent $240. You could have purchased a ready-made report (example: one of Marketdata's $99 Industry Overviews, 15-30 pp.), in a few minutes.
Chances are, not being a market research specialist, you don't know all the places to look for information (U.S. Census Bureau, trade associations, etc.), you may/may not have performed phone interviews, and you may be getting incomplete, outdated or worse, inaccurate information. No, everything on the Internet is NOT accurate. How much experience do you have forecasting, estimating market potential? In addition, your research may be biased. Sometimes, it's better to outsource these tasks to the experts. You can't do everything. Also, you get what you pay for. If the boss tells you there is no budget for market research, then tell him/her you can't guarantee the quality of your report.


JACKSON – Second-term Gov. Phil Bryant apparently is not giving up on a goal he made in his first inaugural address in January 2012 – to merge some of the state's many boards and commissions.
The Republican governor revived his goal of merging some of the more than 200 state boards and commissions in the narrative for his budget proposal that will be submitted to the 2017 Legislature for consideration in January.
"My legislative policy agenda will seek to merge state agencies, boards and commissions, as well as begin consolidating certain functions across state government," Bryant wrote in his budget proposal narrative last month.
In the budget narrative, the governor not only advocated merging many of the boards and commissions, but also of agencies needing to improve "cross agency collaboration." He referred to Mississippi state government operating as a "fiefdom" and said similar problems can be found on the local level.
In his first inaugural address, Bryant said he would ask Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, whose office serves as a record-keeper for the state, to identify all of the boards and commissions with the intent of streamlining government.
In the summer of 2013, Hosemann announced his office had identified 204 such boards with 1,400 members governing various aspects of state government. Most have members appointed by the governor or lieutenant governor.
Hosemann has all of the boards and commissions listed on his website.
Some, like the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning or the Board of Education, oversee large portions of the state general fund revenue and have big staffs.
Others, like the Board of Barber Examiners or the Polygraph Examiners Board, have small staffs and operate on fees assessed on groups they oversee or regulate.
And in general such boards are resistant to being merged or consolidated. The barbers and cosmetologists, for instance, say they need their own oversight board because what they do is similar, but different enough to merit a separate regulatory entity.
While Bryant has spoken of consolidating the boards and commissions on occasion, dating back to his first day in office, thus far the Legislature has done little to tackle the issue.
"Anything to right size government, I am for," said Rep. Jerry Turner, who chairs the Accountability, Efficiency and Transparency Committee. He said legislators have been looking at the issue but have a long way to go in the process, although Turner said some legislation could be forthcoming during the 2017 session.
In 2016, Senate Appropriations Chair Buck Clarke, R-Hollandale, offered proposals to merge larger agencies, such as Human Services and Medicaid. Those efforts were stalled, with legislators saying additional study is needed.
