Any rules for function inlining? Assuming complex function won't be inlined?
I'm going to punt this to unplanned. It would be nice to fill in the ... for inlined functions, but I don't think anyone has a good idea of how to do that.

Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer has announced plans to cut the company's workforce by 15% and close five foreign offices by the end of 2016.
The struggling tech company reported a $4.4bn loss for the last three months of 2015 as it wrote down the value of assets including Tumblr, the blogging site it bought for $1bn in 2013.
Mayer, a former high-flying Google executive, has come under pressure from activist shareholders unhappy with her tenure. She announced an "aggressive strategic plan" that is expected to lead to the sale of parts of its business.
Mayer blasted "falsehoods" she said had been circulating in the media, including reports that the company had spent $7m on its holiday party and $4m on a food program. Yahoo is a "far stronger, more modern company than the one I joined three and a half years ago," she told analysts.
Yahoo's fourth quarter earnings for 2015 were better than expected, coming in at $1.27bn. Overall, the revenue for 2015 was $4.9bn, up from $4.6bn the year before. But the company's traffic acquisition costs (TAC), the amount Yahoo spends to attract users to its websites, rose to $271m in the fourth quarter, up from $74m a year earlier.
Activist investor Starboard contacted the Yahoo board as the results were released demanding a change in management. Board member Charles Schwab announced he would step down as the results were announced.
Yahoo said its strategic plan would simplify the company and narrow its focus. While revenue has gone up, Yahoo shares have fallen 33% over the past year. Over the past three months they have fallen by 17%. Its shares fell in after-hours trading.
is expected to exit offices in Dubai, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Madrid and Milan by end of the first quarter in 2016.
expects its workforce to be down to 9,000 and have fewer than 1,000 contractors by end of 2016.
The company also reinforced its commitment to spinning off its $31bn stake in Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce business.
The job cuts announced on Tuesday are not the first round of layoffs under Mayer. About a third of Yahoo's workforce has left either voluntarily or involuntarily over the last year.
Even as Yahoo contemplates further cuts, one former employee has filed a lawsuit in federal district court in San Jose, California, alleging that Yahoo's employee ranking system allowed senior managers to fire hundreds of employees without just cause. The California department of fair employment and housing is investigating Yahoo's use of the rating system.
The lawsuit is not the only issue that Yahoo has had to address in the past couple of weeks.
A small group of activists began the morning with a protest outside Yahoo's San Francisco offices, calling attention to what they call "the dead elephant in the room": Yahoo Japan's sale of ivory products on its online auction site. More than a million people have signed a petition circulated by online advocacy group Avaaz calling on Yahoo Japan to follow the lead of other online retailers like Google and Amazon in banning the sale of ivory.
The protesters erected a seven-foot-tall inflatable elephant outside the company's doors and distributed copies of the San Francisco Chronicle, which contains a full-page advertisement urging Mayer to "stop the bloody ivory trade".
Yahoo Japan is a joint venture between Yahoo and the Japanese telecoms firm SoftBank. On 27 January, Yahoo released a statement emphasizing that, while Yahoo Inc does not allow the sale of ivory, the company does not control policy for Yahoo Japan. In the statement, Yahoo Inc said it was asking Yahoo Japan "to reexamine and to clarify their company's policies" toward sales of products from endangered species.

Drawings of Animal-drawn Carts
Animal-drawn carts used to be the major means of transportation in mountainous areas, though it is rather difficult to draw the figures of them by chiseling on rocks. The numerous carts depicted in the rock paintings of Yinshan Mountains, therefore, can be regarded as one of their distinguishing characteristics.
Figures of carts have frequently been found in Agui Valley, Dengkou County, Bayannur League of Inner Mongolia. The stone beacon tower built in Qin or Han Dynasty by the mouth of the valley indicates that the valley used to be the only passage for going into and out of the mountainous region and crossing the Yinshan Mountains. A roughly depicted cartwheel with thirteen unevenly arranged spokes of various thicknesses was found in the sixteenth group of rock paintings at No. 5 Painting Site in Agui Valley. The cartwheel in fact, represents a cart. In another painting, a horse-like animal was carved in front of the cart, constituting a picture of horse-drawn cart. By the foot of the Langshan Mount, the painting of carts with awning was found on the cliff of the eastern side of the mountain. Three two-wheeled carts are drawn in the painting, each with long shafts that extend beyond the rear of the cart. The awning was strutted by wooden sticks on the cart. All the three carts in the painting were untarnished with the animals standing by. Judging from the outline, we may infer that the carts in the painting were mobile vehicles that carried people around in their nomadic life.
Riderson the backs of horses, camels and oxen were depicted in the rock paintings. Drawings of herding, hunting or even dancing on horsebacks can also be found. The simplest symbol of a rider is a thick line with neither head nor limbs drawn vertically on the back of an animal. Riders with heads and limbs, or even with clothes and harness, can only be seen in the more complicated paintings. A painting discovered in Tongku Valley of Dengkou County depicts a group ofriders slowly marching forward on horsebacks and camelbacks. Some of the riders are even giving acrobatic performance on horsebacks. The picture seems to be a record of a migration on a considerably large scale.

but If I try to get the program jitted output with the following command
 sudo bpftool prog dump jited tag e29cda32ba011d7f

I get an error message, as reported below:
Error: can't get prog info (3): Bad address
QUESTION: what am I doing wrong? XD

A: You most certainly use a bpftool version compiled from Linux 4.20 or older, and hit a bug that was fixed in version 5.0. Update bpftool, and dumping programs by tags should work again.
As a side note, I usually use program IDs or pinned path, as I find it more useful to retrieve the program I want. Depending on your use case, tags might make sense, especially if you often load the same programs without changes (so you would be sure to keep the same tags) and do not have them pinned.

Providing for the common defense is one of the Congress's most central duties. Earl has worked to ensure that the government takes a comprehensive and long-term approach to defense and homeland security. It is not enough to ensure that America's military and security personnel are the best in the world. The government must effectively partner with those who serve, individual states, and the global community.
Earl believes that a safe, secure and resilient homeland means more than just preventing the next terrorist attack. It also means ensuring that the liberties and privacy of all Americans are respected, that we are prepared for natural disasters, pandemics, cyber attacks, and the ever-changing nature of international threats.
One of the most critical pieces of national security is the preparedness of local communities, ensuring that the federal government partners effectively with states and local responders like police and local fire departments. Earl has worked to ensure that the first responders in the Portland metropolitan area have access to the training and the equipment they need and has consistently fought to secure funding for the Fire Grant Program, Urban Area Security Grants, and the SAFER program. These competitive federal programs enable local jurisdictions to adequately staff, train, equip, and respond more effectively to threats to community safety.
Earl has fought to ensure that our government takes a comprehensive, realistic, and long-term approach to national defense – including guaranteeing support for America's Reserve and National Guard forces to help them meet the challenges that have come when they have an expanded role in oversea conflicts.
He is proud to support the 142nd Fighter Wing and 125th Special Tactics Squadron of the Oregon Air National Guard, both of whom call Portland home. He was instrumental in the successful community effort to preserve the strategic Portland location of the 142nd.
Earl also believes that overall Defense budget should be reduced, particularly nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are dangerous, costly, and don't help us with the strategic global challenges we face today.
For more information about Earl's views and legislation related to the Department of Defense and Homeland Security, please contact the office.
Earl served on the House International Relations Committee from the 107th through the 109th Congresses, and is currently Chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade. He believes that Americans, blessed to live in the richest and most powerful country on earth, have a responsibility to create a better, safer world for all of its inhabitants. Leading the way on challenges as diverse as global health, peace, and the environment is the right thing to do and promotes national security and economic well-being at home.
Poverty, Global Health and the Environment
The fight to end global poverty is one the most important moral challenges of our times and Earl is a champion in this effort. He regularly leads the fight for aid, trade, and debt relief policies that support poor people struggling to lift their communities out of poverty. Helping people improve their standard of living also helps prevent conflict and creates new markets for American exports.
He is the leader in Congress for helping to increase access to safe drinking water and sanitation for poor people, the lack of which is an ongoing threat to global security and the leading cause of preventable death in the world.
In 2005, Blumenauer authored the bipartisan "Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act," which established clean water as a major foreign assistance priority. He leads an annual effort to fund these critical programs and increase investments that provides millions of people with first-time access to clean water and sanitation.
Even with this commitment, millions of people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation services. In 2009, Congressman Blumenauer developed H.R. 2030, the "Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act" (PDF), to redouble U.S. efforts to help provide an additional 100 million of the world's poorest with first-time access to safe and sustainable drinking water and sanitation by 2015. To achieve this, the Act:
Establishes an Office of Water within USAID to implement country-specific water strategies,
Creates a Special Coordinator for International Water within the State Department to coordinate the diplomatic policy of the US with respect to global freshwater issues,
Establishes programs in countries of greatest need that invest in local capacity, education, and coordination with US efforts,
Emphasizes cross-border and cross-discipline collaboration and the utilization of low-cost technologies, such as hand washing stations and latrines.
Earl believes that the United States must act decisively to address conflict and terrorism throughout the world. In addition to swift action, he knows we must also address the political and economic conditions that extremists exploit to gain sympathy and recruit new followers.
These destabilizing conditions persist when the United States fails to communicate with both friend and foe and does not establish a consistent and defensible position when dealing with other nations. That is why we must continue the difficult task of engaging directly and honestly with Iran and other countries through direct bilateral talks and through the United Nations. A lack of serious economic, diplomatic, and trade relationships actually strengthens those who seek isolation. For the US, this means fewer levers of influence and more blind spots than we can afford.
Earl also believes that the United States shouldn't be funding stability at the expense of democracy. He has long been a champion in the House to reduce military aid to repressive regimes and invest more in civil society, thereby improving the lives of people around the world, not bolstering repressive regimes.
An ongoing threat to peace and American interests abroad is the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Today, threats derived from this conflict have rippled out to Arab states, Central Asia, and beyond. Blumenauer strongly supports a two-state solution of a secure Israel and an independent Palestinian state, living side by side. He also urges strong U.S. leadership, which is needed to bring these two sides together. Congressman Blumenauer has made it clear that progress must be mutual and opposes any unilateral actions taken by both sides which have hindered the peace process.
Blumenauer was also a staunch and early opponent of the Iraq War and did not support the military escalation in Afghanistan.
For more information regarding Earl's work and views regarding Foreign Affairs, please contact the office.

This is the season for Baskettails in east Texas. There are three very perplexing species flying together, and we need the help of the Ode Community to help us solve the problem of identifying them and understanding their behavior. The three species are cynosura (Common B.), costalis (Bar-winged B.), and petechialis (Spot-wing B,) The first part of the problem is that only the first species usually has any wing spots at all - about 1/4 of the specimens in East Texas that I have seen. The second is always clear winged in the male (a very few females in FL have a and quot;bar and quot;). The third is spot winged around Austin but loses the spots in east TX and LA. I have attached scans of the terminal appendages of the males, but there is variation and many specimens may not be clearly assigned to any of these species.
The base of the abdomen is not at all constricted in cynosura, visibly constricted in petechialis, and still more constricted in costalis. This character is not apparent when they are flying in front of you, but is quite apparent in the hand.
If it is of any consolation, I have been studying these guys since 1960 in East Texas and I am still doing poorly identifying them in the field!
As far as we can determine, cynosura is the most common, petechialis the second, and costalis the third, but all are fairly common. Cynosura patrols in full sun around pond and lake margins, and on dirt roads. Costalis is more of a shade lover, and patrols in longer beats, but is found in the same places. Petechialis is a stronger flier and spends more time away from water, hawking over parking lots, in cleared fields, etc.
There is a fourth species, semiaquea (Mantled B.) whose males all have heavy wing markings, and has a notably fatter abdomen that the three above.
Please collect specimens is you are equipped to do so. If you acetone them, we might be able to use them for DNA studies. And if you can record the observations as to where they were flying, their behavior, their eye color, etc., we would like to have these.
We are also interested in seeing specimens of Epitheca semiaquea (Mantled Baskettail). Please collect these specimens and send them to John Abbott (email for instructions on where to send, jcabbott@mail.utexas.edu).


For a few months now, when passing back from Metrotown to home, I have looked in to see if Satomi Sushi was not so busy…. and it took quite a while. I generally don't want to wait to sit in a restaurant… to those people that are willing to wait 3/4 of an hour to eat at Sushi Garden… go ahead. I'll go to either Isami Sushi, or Satomi now (both equidistant from Sushi Garden as a central point). Both are run by Japanese people… whether families or not, that I don't know…. but quality, and good friendly service is top notch. Am I willing to pay a little more for that… yes, yes I am.
You can read my Yelp! review for some more insight into what the wife and I had… Give it a try if you're in the neighbourhood for either sushi, or some other Japanese fare.


The Canadian Northern Studies Trust (CNST) is the student awards program of the Association of Canadian Universities for Northern Studies (ACUNS). It was established in 1982 to further the Association's mandate to advance knowledge and understanding of Canada's North by offering student awards for exceptional northern-based research. The purpose of the CNST is to foster scholars and scientists with northern experience and, at the same time, to enhance educational opportunities available for northern residents to obtain post-secondary education at Canadian colleges and universities.


Thanks so much to all of you who commented on yesterdays post.
and I really appreciate what everyone said. It gives me a lot to think about.
When it comes to decisions as big as adoption there really is no right or wrong way.
Thank goodness for people's old stuff otherwise my house wouldn't be furnished!
I seriously think nearly 60-70% of our furniture is either an antique, thrift store find, or Craig's List deal.
And I love that! Antiques have a story behind them and it's so fun to hunt for beautiful old things.
And who doesn't love an amazing Craig's List find.
Like our dining room table from a well-off Santa Barbara family.
and about 80% off the original Crate & Barrel price!
And I am so thankful for the ability to run.
yet I would be devastated if I didn't have the ability to run.
How thankful I am for strong legs and a healthy body.
It's a gift I too often take for granted.
I LOVE how you just threw in that comment.
"Much like the decision to use birth control or not, right?"
Good one! I am not going to give my opinon on that one, but myself love watching people get worked up on that subject. It is such a personal decision and I think so many times, we forget to respect other people's personal decisions the way we want ours to be respected.

Everything is Peachy in Forsyth County, Georgia
Nestled within the Atlanta metropolitan area is Forsyth County, Georgia. Their highly ranked public school system contains 39 schools with roughly 51,400 students and over 6,000 employees. Forsyth County Schools joined the MyVRSpot family in February 2020 to utilize our Live Broadcasting solution but ended up expanding into MyVRSpot's instructional suite of services for their students, teachers, and admins, to fulfill their virtual learning needs during the Covid-19 pandemic. We met with a few key individuals within Forsyth County Schools to see how MyVRSpot has impacted their day-to-day instructional, administrative, communication, and professional development needs. Here's what we learned.
What was the original goal?
When Forsyth County Schools began exploring MyVRSpot it was because they needed a Live Broadcasting solution. "We had several products that we used for our school news and broadcasting of events," said Jason Naile, Director of Instructional Technology and Media. He explained how those other solutions were not working well or meeting their needs.
Furthermore, when Covid-19 hit, the district had a greater need for an online resource to create videos and screen recordings and be able to safely share media, including YouTube videos, with their students. As they got more into the system, "it was like we kept uncovering little things that we could use along the way," Jason added, referring to the other tools within the MyVRSpot system.
How does MyVRSpot address those needs?
MyVRSpot's Live Broadcasting solution was the first major draw for Forsyth County Schools. They needed a streaming service that could not only stream morning announcements and other events, but could also record and archive those streams to allow for sharing afterwards. Dane Forlenza, an Instructional Technology Specialist at Settles Bridge Elementary School, explained how they pair a Teradek media encoder with MyVRSpot's broadcasting service for their morning announcements. He elaborated that the ability to share the recorded broadcasts was an added bonus, particularly the automated process of recordings going directly into a Video Showcase. "We have a link on our website, as well as a link in ClassLink for parents to go to access those live stream recordings. One of the things I really like is that the system puts those recorded streams directly into that gallery with all of our other previously recorded broadcasts [Video Showcase]."
One of the other more popular MyVRSpot tools amongst faculty in Forsyth County is the YouTube tool. With this tool, teachers are finally able to share YouTube content with their students without the fear of something inappropriate showing up as an ad, comment, or in the list of suggested related videos. Brian Sudderth, Instructional Technology Specialist and Athletic Director at Riverwatch Middle School said, "You've got teachers talking about how they now have confidence in sharing media with their kids. They've had negative experiences with YouTube in particular, as you never know what's going to pop up." Lori Perkins, a second-grade teacher at Settles Bridge Elementary School echoed this sentiment, adding "We really like sharing the YouTube videos with students without the advertisements."
Another reason the YouTube tool is so important is due to filtering. Taylor Stevens, a Social Studies Content Specialist at Forsyth Virtual Academy, shared with us that they have students who have a range of different filters on their home networks, and some are filtering content that's not marked for kids on YouTube, but content the students still need to access. "We use MyVRSpot from a compatibility and equity standpoint as well, since many students have one of our district hot spots, which filter YouTube as a top-level domain." With MyVRSpot and the YouTube tool, those students are able to view that shared YouTube content, even if using a district hot spot. Taylor brings up an extremely salient point about compatibility and equity being so important, particularly during virtual and hybrid learning situations.
Recorder Tools
A common sentiment among MyVRSpot users is just how helpful the audio, video, and screen recorders are. Jason pointed out that the video recorder was especially important during virtual learning. He reflects, "Our schools really found it helpful for students to hear their teachers voice and see their face. Teachers transitioned to using MyVRSpot to give their virtual classroom more of a personality, which is vitally important especially for our younger students."
Lori spoke from the teacher's perspective and explained that the primary teachers created read-alouds for their students using the built-in video recorder, which helped them to "create normalcy for the kids." Dane summed it all up with the following, "I view MyVRSpot sort of like a Swiss Army knife because it does a bunch of things: the audio recording, video recording, screen recording, the safe linking of YouTube videos, Smart[Spot] quizzes, and more."
Forsyth County Schools started working with us in early 2020 and during that time, their usage has been extraordinary. In less than a year's time they have uploaded and/or created over 153,000 videos, are storing roughly 12 TB of data, with those media files being viewed over 15,000,000 times. Additionally, they have broadcast over 2,300 times with more than 510,000 viewers.
Such incredible usage can be attributed to many different factors – the increasing demand for digital media in education, having to adapt to circumstances amidst a pandemic, and providing teachers with a user-friendly instructional toolkit! "It was really easy to use, it was really easy to train our staff and get them going," Brian remarked about training his teachers how to use MyVRSpot. Jason added that MyVRSpot's Customer Support is "one of the most responsive support desks we work with. It's been a very impressive response time."
We think that Jason really summed it all up, however, when he reflected upon the past 10 years at the district office, plus the years before that as a classroom teacher and Instructional Technology Specialist, he said, "We've rolled out numerous platforms, products, and applications, and in those 10 years I've had only 2 unsolicited pieces of positive feedback almost immediately upon launch of the product." One of those products was MyVRSpot with one of the more skeptical users telling him "...out of all of the things we've ever done, this is the one that has made the most sense."

JVP shows massive increase
The final results of the elections to Sri Lanka's 12th Parliament showed an upswing in popularity not only for the United National Party but also most remarkably in favour of the radical Marxist Janata Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP). The JVP's popularity has shot up by 296579 votes in the course of a year, mostly at the expense of the People's Alliance. Both the JVP and the PA appealed largely to Sinhala Buddhists during the elections, by persistently attempting to stoke nationalist sentiments among them.
The JVP's strength in the Parliament has climbed from one to 16 MPs in merely seven years. In October last year it polled 5.99 percent of the total valid votes polled. This has climbed to 9.10 now. The JVP has achieved this by shrewdly exploiting the PA's political crises.
The JVP polled 518,774 votes countrywide in last year's elections. It has got 815353 this time.
The Tamil National Alliance polled 3.89 percent of the total valid votes polled in Sri Lanka at the elections to its 12th Parliament. It got 348,164 votes in the electoral districts of Jaffna, Vanni, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Ampara and Colombo. The TNA got 12,696 votes in the Colombo electoral district.
The Sri Lanka Muslim congress scored 105,346 votes island wide. It is 1.18 percent of the total votes polled in the country. The SLMC too was allocated one national seat.


If you were disappointed by the size of SimCity's metropoli (metropolises?), your eyes are about to bulge from your head. And I mean that literally: the above teaser trailer has been known to cause eye-bulge, so watch it at your own risk. Cities XXL is the latest game from the folks that made Cities XL, and if that extra X didn't clue you in, it's aiming to renew its position as the "world's largest city builder".
"Cities XXL features low-level city management mechanics, such as local air and noise pollution levels illustrated with the new stream-lined UI, and beauty hot-spots suitable for holiday locations to supplement cash-flow. At citizen management level, you'll be able to track a person's route to work in order to best manage transport from sea, underground and over-ground rail, or air. Cut-down on traffic queues with the park and ride and buses, or even bike hire—reducing that carbon footprint!"
If, like me, you find the naming conventions of citybuilding games a tad confusing, know that Cities XXL bears no relation to Cities: Skylines, Colossal Order's similarly promising, but less embiggened, game of metropolitan management and building placement. Either way, fans of citybuilders are going to be spoilt for choice next year.

De Julianagroeve, Groeve Juliana, Schiepersberggroeve of Groeve Schiepersberg is een verlaten Limburgse mergelgroeve en geologisch monument in Nederlands Zuid-Limburg in de gemeente Eijsden-Margraten. De groeve ligt ten oosten van Cadier en Keer in een berghelling van het Plateau van Margraten aan het droogdal Sibbersloot.

Op ongeveer 200 meter naar het noordwesten ligt de Koeberggroeve.

Geschiedenis
In 1938 begon men met de kalksteenwinning. De gewonnen kalksteen werd geleverd aan het Stikstof Bindings Bedrijf van de Staatsmijn Maurits in Geleen.

In 1954 werd de winning gestaakt vanwege de slechte kwaliteit van de mergel.

In 1971 ontdekten Werner Felder en Peter Bosch in de helling tussen de Koeberggroeve en de Julianagroeve een kleine prehistorische vuursteenindustrie. Een deel van de helling was toen afgegraven om ruimte te maken voor een smalspoor.

In 2011 werd de groeve een natuurreservaat en eigendom van Het Limburgs Landschap.

Geologie
Onder het Plateau van Margraten bevindt zich een dik kalksteenpakket. Op deze kalksteen liggen grove bruine grindafzettingen van de Maas van het Laagpakket van St. Geertruid dat hier bij de Julianagroeve op het plateau een dikte heeft van ongeveer anderhalve meter. Onder dit Maasgrind begint de kalksteen van de Formatie van Maastricht die stamt uit het Boven-Krijt. In de groeve zijn de volgende kalksteenlagen ontsloten: de Kalksteen van Nekum en de Horizont van Laumont, de Kalksteen van Emael en de Horizont van Romontbos, de Kalksteen van Schiepersberg en de Horizont van Schiepersberg, de Kalksteen van Gronsveld en de Horizont van Sint Pieter en het bovenste gedeelte van de Kalksteen van Valkenburg.

In de groevewand zij talrijke geologische orgelpijpen zichtbaar die opgevuld zijn met grove bruine grind. Deze orgelpijpen ontstonden doordat regenwater in de bodem doordrong en kalksteen deed oplossen.

De Julianagroeve is aangewezen als de typelocatie van de Kalksteen van Schiepersberg.

Natuur
Van belang zijn verder de kalkgraslanden, waar een interessante plantengroei te vinden is met gevinde kortsteel, wilde marjolein, geelhartje, voorjaarsganzerik en grote tijm. Op de steile kalkhellingen vindt men onder meer: stengelomvattend havikskruid, grijs havikskruid, zacht vetkruid, duifkruid en grasklokje.

De poelen die in de groeve zijn aangelegd vormen een leefgebied voor de vroedmeesterpad en de geelbuikvuurpad.

Alprazolam (Page 4 of 7)
Actavis Pharma, Inc. 30 November 2019
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postmarketing use of alprazolam. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Reported events include: liver enzyme elevations, hepatitis, hepatic failure, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, gynecomastia, and galactorrhea.
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1 Use with Other CNS Depressants
The concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids increases the risk of respiratory depression because of actions at different receptor sites in the CNS that control respiration. Benzodiazepines interact at GABAA sites and opioids interact primarily at mu receptors. When benzodiazepines and opioids are combined, the potential for benzodiazepines to significantly worsen opioid-related respiratory depression exists. Limit dosage and duration of concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids, and monitor patients closely for respiratory depression and sedation.
If alprazolam orally disintegrating tablets are coadministered with other psychotropic agents or anticonvulsant drugs, carefully consider the pharmacology of the agents to be employed, particularly with compounds which might potentiate the action of benzodiazepines. The benzodiazepines, including alprazolam, produce additive CNS depressant effects when coadministered with other psychotropic medications, anticonvulsants, antihistaminics, alcohol and other drugs which themselves produce CNS depression.
7.2 Drugs Effecting Salivary Flow and Stomach pH
Because alprazolam orally disintegrating tablets disintegrate in the presence of saliva, and the formulation requires an acidic environment to dissolve, concomitant drugs or diseases that cause dry mouth or raise stomach pH might slow disintegration or dissolution, resulting in slowed or decreased absorption.
7.3 Use with Imipramine and Desipramine
The steady state plasma concentrations of imipramine and desipramine can increase by approximately 30% and 20%, respectively, when administered concomitantly with alprazolam in doses up to 4 mg per day. The clinical significance of these changes is unknown.
7.4 Drugs that Inhibit Alprazolam Metabolism via Cytochrome P450 3A
The initial step in alprazolam metabolism is hydroxylation catalyzed by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A). Drugs which inhibit this metabolic pathway can have a profound effect on the clearance of alprazolam [see Contraindications ( 4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].
7.5 Drugs Demonstrated to be CYP3A Inhibitors of Possible Clinical Significance on the Basis of Clinical Studies Involving Alprazolam
Use caution during coadministration of Alprazolam and the following drugs:
Fluoxetine — Coadministration of fluoxetine with alprazolam increased the maximum plasma concentration of alprazolam by 46%, decreased clearance by 21%, increased half-life by 17%, and decreased measured psychomotor performance.
Propoxyphene — Coadministration of propoxyphene decreased the maximum plasma concentration of alprazolam by 6%, decreased clearance by 38%, and increased half-life by 58%.
Oral Contraceptives — Coadministration of oral contraceptives increased the maximum plasma concentration of alprazolam by 18%, decreased clearance by 22%, and increased half-life by 29%.
7.6 Drugs and Other Substances Demonstrated to be CYP3A Inhibitors on the Basis of Clinical Studies Involving Benzodiazepines Metabolized Similarly to Alprazolam or on the Basis of In Vitro Studies with Alprazolam or Other Benzodiazepines
Use caution during the coadministration of Alprazolam and the following:
Available data from clinical studies of benzodiazepines other than alprazolam suggest a possible drug interaction between alprazolam and the following: diltiazem, isoniazid, macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin and clarithromycin, and grapefruit juice. Data from in vitro studies of alprazolam suggest a possible drug interaction between alprazolam and the following: sertraline and paroxetine. However, data from an in vivo drug interaction study involving a single dose of alprazolam 1 mg and steady state doses of sertraline (50 mg to 150 mg per day) did not reveal any clinically significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of alprazolam. Data from in vitro studies of benzodiazepines other than alprazolam suggest a possible drug interaction between benzodiazepines and the following: ergotamine, cyclosporine, amiodarone, nicardipine, and nifedipine [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].
7.7 Inducers of CYP3A
Carbamazepine can increase alprazolam metabolism and therefore can decrease plasma levels of alprazolam.
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category D.
Benzodiazepines can potentially cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The possibility that a woman of childbearing potential may be pregnant at the time of institution of therapy should be considered. If alprazolam is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Because of experience with other members of the benzodiazepine class, alprazolam is assumed to be capable of causing an increased risk of congenital abnormalities when administered to a pregnant woman during the first trimester. Because use of these drugs is rarely a matter of urgency, their use during the first trimester should almost always be avoided [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].
Nonteratogenic Effects: It should be considered that the child born of a mother who is receiving benzodiazepines may be at some risk for withdrawal symptoms from the drug during the postnatal period. Also, neonatal flaccidity and respiratory problems have been reported in children born of mothers who have been receiving benzodiazepines.
8.2 Labor and Delivery
The potential effect of alprazolam in labor and delivery in humans has not been studied. However, perinatal complications have been reported in neonates exposed to benzodiazepines late in pregnancy. The findings are suggestive of excess benzodiazepine exposure or withdrawal phenomena.
8.3 Nursing Mothers
Benzodiazepines are excreted in human milk. It should be assumed that alprazolam is excreted in human milk. Chronic administration of diazepam to nursing mothers has been reported to cause their infants to become lethargic and to lose weight. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from alprazolam, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. As a general rule, nursing should not be undertaken by mothers who must use alprazolam.
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of alprazolam in individuals below 18 years of age have not been studied.
8.5 Geriatric Use
The elderly may be more sensitive to the effects of benzodiazepines. They exhibit higher plasma alprazolam concentrations due to reduced clearance of the drug, compared with a younger population receiving the same doses. The smallest effective dose of alprazolam should be used in the elderly to preclude the development of ataxia and oversedation [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12) and Dosage and Administration ( 2)].
Changes in the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of benzodiazepines have been demonstrated in geriatric patients. A mean half-life of alprazolam of 16.3 hours has been observed in healthy elderly subjects (range: 9.0 to 26.9 hours, n=16) compared to 11.0 hours (range: 6.3 to 15.8 hours, n=16) in healthy adult subjects.

Minister congratulates IISJ students
Principal Syed Masood Ahmed
Four outstanding students of the International Indian School, Jeddah (IISJ) have received letters of appreciation from Indian Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Zubin Irani for scoring high marks in the Class XII CBSE exams.
"Heartiest congratulations on your wonderful performance in the Central Board of Secondary Education Class XII examination this year," the minister said in letters sent to Raqib Hasan Khan, Asif Ali, Simra Parvez and Tasneem.
"Your success is the result of your dedicated hard work and commitment. You have made your parents, school and our country proud," Irani wrote while wishing the students every success in realizing their dreams and achieving their future goals.
The four students have been placed in the top 0.1 percent merit list of the CBSE, Delhi in the recently declared results. Raqib Khan and Asir Ali secured 100 percent marks in Chemistry and Mathematics respectively while Parvez scored 99 percent in Home Science and Tasneem 97 percent in English.
IISJ Principal Syed Masood Ahmed said he was happy over his students receiving such letters of appreciation from the Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development for the first time.
"This is a great motivation for all IISJ students, especially top scorers," Ahmed told Arab News. He said the school was able to achieve good academic results as a result of the combined efforts of students, teachers and parents and support of the managing committee and the Indian embassy and consulate.
"We'll continue our endeavors to maintain the school's outstanding results in the CBSE exams," the principal said. "This is the first time that we have received such letters of appreciation from the Indian government. This shows their keen interest in the affairs of Indian students in Saudi Arabia. It will not only motivate our students but also their teachers and parents," he added.
The minister also handed out letters of appreciation to students in Delhi with stellar performances in the CBSE class X11 results including DAV Public School, Delhi Public School among others.

Nation's Largest Mental Health Organization Urges Supported Housing Reforms
by Joaquin Sapien, ProPublica
The National Alliance on Mental Illness has asked U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis to make "adjustments and modifications" to an ambitious plan to move mentally ill men and women from troubled group homes into their own apartments, in a letter citing an investigation by ProPublica and Frontline.
"The revelations in the ProPublica/Frontline investigation raise serious questions about whether all people being transferred out of adult homes are in fact receiving appropriate levels of services and supports, including adequate assessments prior to leaving adult homes," said the letter, which was sent to the judge late last month. "The investigation also reveals that there have been significant problems with monitoring the well-being of individuals who have been transferred from adult homes into the community."
In 2014, Garaufis issued an order to move as many as 4,000 people out of adult homes — group living arrangements where mentally ill people were found to have suffered neglect and financial exploitation at the hands of home operators.
ProPublica and Frontline spent more than a year examining the proposed alternative, known as supported housing — independent apartments where adult home residents were expected to live on their own with minimal support from social service agencies. We found that some of the most vulnerable people who made the transition slipped through the cracks, including six whose deaths raised questions and two dozen more who were not able to care for themselves, ending up in unsafe or inhumane living conditions. We showcased the journey of Nestor Bunch, who was hospitalized multiple times and beaten nearly to death while in supported housing.
The letter, signed by NAMI Chief Executive Officer Mary Giliberti and the two top New York-based officials for the organization, points out that while many people do well in supported housing, the transition can be extremely difficult for others. This is because many adult home residents either have little experience living on their own or lost some of their ability to do so after years of reliance on adult home staff and have not been prepared to make the shift, the letter said.
"It is unrealistic to expect that all class members can live safely in unsupervised scattered-site apartments, even if that is their stated preference," the authors wrote.
The letter echoed several more findings in the ProPublica and Frontline story, which was published in The New York Times, including that the state did not initially have a system to track the welfare of people who made the shift into supported housing; that families had struggled to obtain details of deaths and other serious adverse incidents that affected their loved ones; and that workers are often undercompensated and undertrained. The letter also said that the assessments of people who want to move out of adult homes should be improved and that the state should consider housing options that offer more supervision.
Garaufis, who is now in his 16th year presiding over this litigation, has not responded to NAMI, which is not a party in the litigation. He declined to comment for this story. But he has already called for an independent report to investigate some of the problems exposed by ProPublica and Frontline.
The day ProPublica and Frontline published their first story, Garaufis asked court monitor Clarence Sundram to examine the effectiveness of the state's new system to report and investigate incidents in which supported housing residents have come to harm. He also got the state to promise a review of its service-coordination program and suggested the state do more to help residents learn and practice basic skills they will need to live on their own. The report is due on Jan. 31.
A spokesman for the Office of Mental Health, the lead New York state agency responsible for implementation of the settlement, said the office agreed with some of the points NAMI made in its letter, namely "that many people have successfully transitioned into supported housing and that these success stories are often not told."
But the office disputed the idea that adult home residents are not receiving adequate assessments prior to leaving these facilities. It said that everyone receives an extensive assessment and a detailed, personalized plan of care.
As for those who struggle, the office said, "New York state is focused on improving our systems of care to ensure there are no gaps in service."
In an interview with ProPublica, NAMI senior policy adviser Ron Honberg emphasized that he did not think the shift to supported housing should be considered a failure, but that the story has presented "a real clarion call to look closely at how people are doing and to help figure out who might need more intensive services and supports."

The Long and Winding Road to Success at Allumbaugh House 4
by George Prentice | Aug 30, 2017


Yanga Qithi is a 26 year old entrepreneur who is on a path to build an Africa beauty and fashion business with quality customer service at it's core. The young businesswoman already owns a state of the art hair salon where clients can also do nails, massages, make up, lashes etc. See what she had to say about her entrepreneurial journey below.
What's inspired Qutie Hair ?
Growing up It has always been my dream to own a beauty,nail and hair salon.I would go to salons and there would be quite a number of things that I was not happy with and also that other people weren't happy with and I wanted to open something that was different from the rest and that would satisfy every clients needs.
We offer quite a number of services,we do all things Hair, Nails, Lashes and Make Up and Massages.
What separates you from other players in the beauty and retail market ?
I think what separates me is my customer service,This is of utmost importance to me,it's important for me to give the best service to my clients and to make them feel special and appreciated.This really goes a long way and people appreciate this so much. I have found that many businesses often neglect this,I would say that I have found the art in perfecting this. I also provide very high quality hair at affordable prices, I am in an industry where there are a lot of people selling fake hair and I often meet and have clients who have had a lot of bad experiences with fake hair and the moment they start buying from me they stay as loyal clients because of the quality of my hair.
Where do you see the business in 5 years?
I would like to open up my own hair factory and be a major supplier to businesses in South Africa.I would also like to open different Qutie Hair branches in South Africa,specifically in Western Cape,KZN and Eastern Cape.
What challenges have you faced as a young black woman in business ?
Quite a number of things really but one is having people not take you seriously. Having to do business with man and having them expecting certain things of you in order to do business with you. The other challenge is not being respected or taken serious because I am young woman. I also struggled getting rental places around Pretoria where racism is rife in the real estate business, I think this has affected me the most and has also set me back.
What can be done to create an enabling environment for other young people to venture into entrepreneurship ?
I think we need more support in-terms of providing coaching and support to young entrepreneurs and also more accessible funding,I think there's a lot of young people who would like to venture into entrepreneurship and who probably also have a lot of great ideas but don't know where to start and mostly don't have the capital to start.
What are you doing to empower women looking into sustaining themselves ?
For now I have been trying to employ more young woman to help get them in a place where they are independent. I am also looking into coaching and mentoring the youth and giving back what I can to help them grow into independent woman. Help them know that it's okay to have your own path and that you can be your own person and don't have to do what others are doing.
There's a lot of young woman seeking for opportunities but don't know where to look and to get them and I think that it's vital to create and give opportunities to people.
How can people book your services?
And people looking for opportunities to make an income ?
One of the things that I am currently doing and pursuing is recruiting SA youth who are passionate about health and fitness and want to make extra income. For those interested in this opportunity, they should feel free to contact me on the numbers above.


Lack of Sun and, I suppose, the ever-present urge for adventure finally led Mum and Dad to throw a dart at Southern France.
To me, this move was both thrilling and distressing. The inability to communicate and yet to have to go through exams and so-on was an ordeal, though life in a tent and caravan while doing up a collapsed farmhouse was a real adventure.
My mother set up a new pottery and my father ran a bonsai import and distribution company at Duras, between Bergerac and Marmande. I finished my education and finally settled down (for a while, anyway) in Toulouse.
After the first two-years, the cultural shock of living here eventually wore off and I began to understand a lot better the language and the French way of thinking and started to really enjoy living with the locals. I have now spent over half my life in France between Marmande, Paris and Toulouse and have become a genuine bi-cultural.
I married a French girl eight years ago, from whom I have two lovely children, and recently divorced (perhaps the cultural gap is just too wide for marriage). I now live in a house in Balma.
Coincidence has it that my adoptive parents now live in Bristol.
Professional life has been eclectic to say the least. After a very difficult start in the early Nineties, just after the first Gulf War and in the midst of a recession, I started a short career as an English teacher for land surveyors, Prépa HEC, Math Sup and Math Spé students. Six years on, I decided that, although life as a teacher was relatively easy, it was not my life-long ambition and I was eager to get back to my first aspiration: international business.
On leaving the world of higher education, I made myself a name in the field of geomatics and mapping as the author of the "Newton's Dictionnaire Bilingue de la Topographie, de la Géographie et de la Géomatique" and was taken on as Marketing Manager by the geographic information systems provider, GeoConcept where I recast the marketing and communications methods and content to develop the new market for geomarketing tools.
Surfing the high-tech wave, I moved on to public relations and then to mobile information technology.
Between 2001 and 2005, as marketing and sales manager for Penbase (specialized in publishing mobile enterprise applications), I went through the works of dealing with a bankruptcy and starting up a new business with Belgian investors. This taught me a lot about technocrats, the Silicon Valley, big money and power struggles.
I now work for Novacom Services, a subsidiary of the CNES and CLS Argos, where I have the position of Strategic Accounts Manager, designing and selling satellite-based tracking and remote reading IT solutions to large companies.
In the positions I held, I soon realized how important networking is to leading a successful business life in France. This seems even more accentuated in the South.
This combined with the strong demand from friends and friends of friends to have conversations in English lead me to create the English Limited network in December 2005.
The aim of English Ltd. is to enable "Anglo-Saxon" and French executives, managers, business owners and entrepreneurs to practice their language skills in English and French in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere twice a month in downtown Toulouse.
With just under 500 members in one year's existence, running the network has become quite a task, but I enjoy and, judging by the feedback, so do the members (from what they say, anyway).
The Hub de la Ville Rose and English Ltd. share, to my mind, the same fundamental principles: to offer people the opportunity to share opinions, make new relations, and regularly enjoy a good evening out.


Tommy grew up on the south coast of England where he spent nearly every childhood holiday by the beach. This sparked a deep interest of the interaction between water and land and how people connect with that location. But it wasn't until he was living in Sydney that he embarked on his first aerial shoot over Bondi Beach, capturing the colourful surfboards strewn across the beach which became his first series - Bondi. Since then Tommy has hung out of helicopters and small aircraft everywhere from San Francisco and Mexico to the Canary Islands and, most recently, The Netherlands. Tommy is now based from his studio in London when not travelling.

I am starting my reading for fall with Sensory Integration and the Child by A. Jean Ayres. This is the seminal work/ theory developed in the 60's and 70's by Dr. Ayres, which describes how we all react to environmental stimuli. Although this is an older text, it is always important to look back at what has been done in the past. I'm looking forward to developing my knowledge in this important of area of practice.

I use Dependency Injection (DI) quite a bit in my ASP.NET projects, particularly in Web API and MVC web applications. Recently, I had a need to implement a caching layer in one of my MVC apps, and such a layer would be best used if it could be injected into my clients layer (e.g. the layer that called an API and handled responses from the same). The solution I came up with seemed to be pretty simple, so I wanted to share it here.
In this post, we're going to set up a simple MVC project that consumes a Web API and implements a caching layer.
StructureMap.MVC5, which provides Dependency Injection capabilities.
RestSharp, which enables easy consumption of web APIs.
The sample project, which is over on GitHub, is a fully-functional implementation of the strategy described in this post. Feel free to check it out, branch it, download it, whatever!
As you can see, all this class does is return the current date and time and a random number.
That's all our API will do: return the current date and a random number. Since there's no caching taking place at the service layer, we will need to implement caching at the web layer.
Speaking of the web layer, in our sample solution it is an MVC5 project, and we will be using my favorite Dependency Injection tool, StructureMap.
If you've never set up StructureMap in your MVC projects, you'll want to read this section; otherwise, skip to the next section.
The way StructureMap works is that it keeps instances of classes that need to be "injected" into other classes in a Container class, and uses these instances any time a particular interface is called for in another class. You'll see exactly what this means in the next section.
Let's build the uncached example first, and we can begin by setting up the MVC client. For this project we'll be using RestSharp (which I have also written about before) to consume the API responses, so be sure to download the NuGet package.
Note that we don't need to register this client with StructureMap because the naming follows the standard conventions (ISampleClient maps to SampleClient).
That's exactly what we would expect to see, of course. Now, we can get down to implementing a cache at the web layer for this.
NOTE: In my structure, I am intentionally implementing the cached and uncached operations as separate methods in the same client, so that either one can be used. This may or may not be the correct usage in your application.
Now we've successfully implemented our cache AND used Dependency Injection in the process!
With this structure, we've successfully implemented a caching layer into our MVC application, all while using StructureMap to provide Dependency Injection. This structure allows us to potentially swap cache providers (in case we, say, move to a database-located cache for server farms) without too much trouble, as well as injecting the cache service into our existing clients.
Don't forget to check out the sample project over on GitHub, and feel free to point out how you've used this implemention or where it can be improved in the comments.


We are all great, though sometimes misunderstood. When we realize our greatness, our inner Wild Thing, we face challenges. We are challenged by society. We are beat down, scoffed at, laughed at, and excluded. We must conform or be outcast. Anything that isn't "normal" is "impossible."
It is the Wild Thing inside of us that allows us to break free, from the restraints of conformity, so that we may reach our maximum potential. The journey tests us and exposes us to the elements, but we remain steadfast in our efforts. We are in control of our happiness and our destiny. We are strong. We are Wild. We are King.

What does it mean to abide in Christ? It means to maintain a constant, living communion with Him.
Picture your life sort of like driving a car down the street. When you invite the Lord into your heart, that's like you picking Him up and letting Him in your car. Then at some point along the way, He eventually says, "You know what? What I really want is total control." He wants you to move to the backseat and let Him permanently take over the steering wheel.
Now, this is a process. That is, we are changed constantly by the Holy Spirit as we become more sanctified, more like Christ. But the aim is for Christ to settle down and make Himself at home in our lives, so that the longer we walk with Him the more mature we become, the more controlled by the Holy Spirit we become. I touched on some of the concepts in John 15 last week, but I want to take a closer look at Jesus' analogy of a vine and a branch.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing" (vv. 4-5).
What does it mean to abide in Jesus Christ? It's to maintain a constant, living communion with Jesus. That is, your relationship with the Lord is close, you're tied, you're welded, and it's consistent. You're receiving from Him, you're praying to Him, you're getting direction from Him, you're close. In other words, you're not letting anything come between you and Him.
It sounds simple, doesn't it? But it's not that easy to do, because we so often misplace our priorities. We get up too late in the morning and don't make time to hang out with God. This carries on for a few days, and then we find that we can function as a Christian without spending a whole lot of quality time with the Father. But eventually, we wither more and more because we're not getting constant nourishment. Remember, Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness" (Matthew 5:6), not "Blessed is the man who gets a spiritual cheeseburger once a week and snacks on it." If God is important, schedule Him in. Set aside time to be alone with the Father and seek Him, to read, feed, and pray. Maintain a constant, living communion with Him.
This is a gradual process of sanctification, and we are all still going through it. Our character is still being developed. My prayer is that, if you haven't already, you would move out of the driver's seat and let Jesus Christ take over the wheel, and that by yielding to Him, allowing Him to have control, and abiding in Him, you would be changed and filled afresh with His Spirit.

Last-minute stay request filed to save Oklahoma…
Last-minute stay request filed to save Oklahoma inmate
By The Associated Press and Sean Murphy |
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A death-row inmate maintained his innocence on the eve of his execution in Oklahoma on Tuesday, while his attorneys went to court with what they said was new evidence supporting claims that he was framed.
Richard Glossip, 52, is scheduled to be executed Wednesday afternoon at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. He was convicted of ordering the 1997 beating death of Barry Van Treese, who owned the motel where Glossip worked.
But Glossip"s lawyers asked the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to halt the execution, saying they uncovered new details in the case, including a signed affidavit from an inmate who served time in prison with Justin Sneed, who was convicted of fatally beating Van Treese.
Sneed was the prosecution"s key witness and testified that Glossip masterminded the killing because he was afraid Van Treese was about to fire him for embezzling money and poorly managing the motel. Sneed was sentenced to life in prison in exchange for his testimony.
A fellow inmate, Michael Scott, said in an affidavit that he heard Sneed say "he set Richard Glossip up, and that Richard Glossip didn"t do anything."
"We"re asking for a stay of execution to give the court more time to review this new evidence, which we think casts grave doubt on Richard"s guilt," said Mark Henricksen, one of Glossip"s attorneys.
Glossip maintained his innocence Tuesday in a brief telephone interview with The Associated Press and said he remains optimistic his lethal injection will be halted.
"They"ll never take that from me," Glossip said. "I"ll hope for the best. I won"t let it bring me down.
"If you"ve got to go out… you don"t want to be bitter and angry about it."
Glossip"s case has drawn attention from death penalty opponents, and his family and supporters rallied Tuesday at the Oklahoma Capitol. They want Republican Gov. Mary Fallin to issue a 60-day stay to give Glossip"s attorneys more time to investigate new leads.
But the governor said in a statement Wednesday that she remains convinced of Glossip"s guilt, and "after carefully reviewing the facts of this case multiple times" has no plans to issue a stay.
Among his supports is Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon, who played a nun in the movie "Dead Man Walking." The woman Sarandon portrayed, anti-death penalty advocate Sister Helen Prejean, serves as Glossip"s spiritual adviser and plans to attend his execution Wednesday.
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater, whose office prosecuted Glossip before Prater was elected, said he"s reviewed boxes of evidence and is convinced of Glossip"s guilt.
"Mr. Van Treese would not be dead but for Mr. Glossip offering what Mr. Sneed thought was half of $10,000 to kill Barry Van Treese," Prater said. "(Glossip) set everything into motion."
Van Treese"s wife, Donna, wrote in a letter to Oklahoma"s Pardon and Parole Board last year that the loss of her husband has been devastating to her and her family.
"As the wife, I lost the most important person to me: my husband and the father to my children," Donna Van Treese wrote. "I have had a very hard time just moving on one day at a time, and physically I have been under more stress than any one person should endure in a lifetime."
Glossip"s execution is scheduled for 3 p.m. Wednesday. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terri Watkins said the time was moved from 6 p.m. so the process didn"t disrupt a shift change and meal time at the facility, and so that media and execution witnesses would be off the prison grounds before dark.

The Parliamentary launch of Class will be centred around our recent publication, "Why Inequality Matters".
In his speech at Labour Party Conference this year Ed Miliband said "I will never accept an economy where the gap between rich and poor just grows wider and wider. In One Nation, in my faith, inequality matters".
Our latest briefing Why Inequality Matters presents the key findings from the ground-breaking book The Spirit Level by Professors Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson.
The UK economy is in its first double dip recession in a generation and growth continues to stagnate. Still, the government pursue austerity policies that Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman described as "just like a medieval doctor bleeding his patient, observing that the patient is getting sicker, not better, and deciding that this calls for even more bleeding."
Find out more about Class and Why Inequality Matters by coming to our Parliamentary launch. Please register your interest in attending below.

Q: Diode rectification Why don't I use this circuit for full wave rectifier instead of Bridge rectifiers or Center tapped transformer type rectifiers?

A:
Figure 1. The original circuit.

Why don't I use this circuit for full wave rectifier instead of Bridge rectifiers or Center tapped transformer type rectifiers?

When the top of the AC source goes positive a very large current will flow through Dtop and Dbottom which will create an almost dead short across the supply. If the supply is not current limited the diodes will be burnt out. If the supply is current limited there will be 2 x Vf across the diodes. (Vf, the forward voltage, is usually about 0.7 V for silicon diodes.
No current will flow through the 1k as there is no way for it to return to the 40 Hz supply. Remember that current must flow in a circuit and although you have an earth connection there is no earth connection on the 40 Hz supply.
So, to answer your question, we don't use that circuit because it doesn't work.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Figure 2. A circuit that uses the same number of components but does work. The return current path is indicated in orange.

*

*This circuit uses a centre-tapped transformer.

*When the centre-tap is grounded the two outputs are 180° out of phase. When the top terminal is positive the bottom is negative, etc.

*When the top terminal is positive D1 conducts current flows through R1 and back to the transformer via GND. No current flows in the lower half of XFMR1.

*When the top terminal goes negative the bottom terminal will go positive and D2 will conduct. Current again flows through R1 and back to the transformer via GND. No current flows in the upper half of XFMR1.

Unfortunately it is too late to patent this idea. It has been standard practice for well over a century.

A: Because you will short circuit your power supply and burn out your diodes.
Both diodes will conduct at the same time.  So, for half the time, your diodes form a short circuit across your generator.
In real life, either the diodes would burn out or the transformer would overheat and burn out.
That looks like you are using the Falstad circuit simulator.
Put a current meter in series with your diodes (between the generator and the upper diode.)  Have Falstad plot the current over time.
You will see periods of zero current (the diodes are not conducting) and periods of high current.
Or, get a small AC transformer (like a wall wart with 12VAC output) and a couple of small signal diodes (like the ubiquitous 1N4148) and build your circuit and try it out.  No need to measure current - something will get noticeably hot or the diodes will explode.


For any band, breaking out of the hometown turf and onto the national scene is a laborious task. For bands on the Front Range where touring means plowing through hundreds of small-scale, mid-America spots to get to either coast it can be even more difficult to garner the kind of exposure needed to finance touring and recording while maintaining any sort of independent ethos.
Take Denver-based Americana sensation Paper Bird, for example.
A seven-piece outfit of bass, trombone, trumpet and vocal harmonies, Paper Bird is at a crossroads. Since its inaugural 2007 release, Anything Nameless and Joymaking, the band has experienced grand local acclaim from readers' polls and music showcases. In 2008, it was highlighted on the bill of New Belgium's Tour de Fat cross-country circuit. And this year alone has brought two new EPs A Sky Underground and Paper Bird Live at Twist and Shout, coming Oct. 6 as well as a tour smattered with big-name festival spots like the High Sierra Music Festival, 10,000 Lakes, and Denver's Mile High Music Fest.
But for all the applause they've received for their hard work, these DIYers are looking at greener pastures. Though they've enjoyed the freedom of self-releasing, Paper Bird banjo player Caleb Summeril notes that it might be time for the band to break out of its shell.
Though nothing is officially in the works in terms of contracts or labels, it's clear that Paper Bird is ready to shift gears. This, after all, is a band doing everything in their power to make their venture a full-time career.
Will they make it on the national scene? Considering the momentum their journey has gained thus far, it's entirely possible.
The band started after a few friends decided to get away for a trip up to Summeril's uncle's cabin in Breckenridge. With a banjo and a guitar at their disposal, a friend suggested they write a song.
With a few rehearsal rounds, they decided to take their newly crafted tunes to the streets of Breckenridge. The result was inspiring.
And so Paper Bird was hatched.
A few years and a couple of lineup switches later, the band now solidly consists of sisters and Fairview High School grads Esm and Genny Patterson (vocals), Sarah Anderson (vocals), Tyler Archuletta (trombone), Paul DeHaven (guitar), Caleb Summeril (banjo) and Macon Terry (upright bass).
Despite a humble first gig on the streets, the band has been nothing if not ambitious ever since, and their music reflects that combination of whimsical spark and certitude. The female harmonies float against a background of straw-chewing strings. An added horn expands the sound into a bolder territory. And still the lyrics are sweet and warm.
They're the kind of band you'd expect to hear on Sunday morning NPR the kind that has a wide appeal to hipsters and alike, that is smooth but still evocative. It's part of the rootsy Americana flavor that has experienced a strong resurgence in the past decade.
But though their fan base keeps growing, it hasn't always been smooth sailing.
In their first year as band, Paper Bird's bus was rear-ended by a semi-truck, leaving trombone player Tyler Archuletta seriously injured.
Summeril recalls the damage caused.
With Archuletta back on board, Paper Bird used the mishap to re-evaluate.
And since the accident, the road has treated Paper Bird quite well. The band picked up a working team, including booking agents, to help manage their tours. For the past two summers, they've toured on a bus that runs on vegetable oil and solar panels. And as for the shows?
But for a band, the road is still a place for proving. With a new EP to be released Oct. 6, Live at Twist and Shout, and the final touches being put on a new full-length release, Paper Bird is preparing to get back in the saddle again. But not before some hometown celebrations, including their upcoming headliner at Boulder Theater, where the band plans to explore new ground by building their own set, playing new songs and renditions, and a few other not-to-be-mentioned surprises.
It's a feeling that Paper Bird wants to extend on the national circuit, to make it beyond the Colorado scene and to have, as Summeril puts it, "all those other places we've been feel more like home." In the meantime, however, the band will focus on using their talents to pay the rent.
