Some late model V6 applications require a gasket that is fitted on the thermostat. In this case do not install our supplied O-ring, reuse OEM gasket.
Ideally the fan settings in your tune should be lowered to see the best possible heat dissipation from your cooling system. Otherwise a low temp thermostat will only be effective when the vehicle is moving because heat cannot be removed unless there is air passing through the radiator. However, there is not a handheld programmer available at this time capable of modifying fan settings in most of the new Ford engine management systems. The fan speed tables will need to be adjusted through a custom tune (available from most of our vendors) or via tuning software. These new systems estimate coolant temps based on readings from a dry head temp sensor. However these 'inferred' ECT values can be more volatile and vary from vehicle to vehicle. For example Mustangs typically read around 8-10° hotter whereas an F150 may read closer to actual coolant temps. This means that a vehicle using our 170° thermostat could see ECT anywhere between 165-205°, depending upon conditions and fan settings. We rely on your feedback, so please let us know if you become aware of any new developments in managing the fan settings for these applications.
"I just switch out the 160 Even Flo for a 170 Reische and wow what a difference... ...I don't think the hot water test in a pot has any thing to do with how they work in the Mustang as my temps were significantly lower with the Reische 170 then the Even Flo 160.
Even Flo I was seeing ECT temps of 199 all the time and CHT temps of 205-215 actually saw 218 once. Reische 170 so far the highest I saw was ECT temps of 180 mostly 178 during my drive, CHT temps were 185-187 max. Temp outside was 33 today but I have drove the car in snow with temps in the 30's with the 160 T Stat and still saw the temps as described above. The coolant temps were as reported my NGauge and the CHT was reported in the ford Gauges menu."
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Here is our original Ford-50 unit that is currently being copied by competitors. The primary drawback of this design is that customers commonly over-tighten the thermostat housing upon installation. This usually results in damage to the gasket, or in some cases, the thermostat wedging in one side and tilting out of position. If this occurs coolant may be able to go around the thermostat and, in cooler weather, this will result in a P0128 (low coolant temp) code and/or longer warm-up times.
If you have thrown this code we first recommend replacing the gasket and reinstalling the thermostat, just lightly snug the housing bolts (around 40 in/lbs) but do not tighten the housing down completely. The gasket can be replaced with a Stant 27282, Gates 33619 or Duralast/Felpro 35710 but never reinstall an O-ring with this type of thermostat. Be sure the lip of the gasket faces up (right) and if reinstallation of the thermostat does not resolve this issue please Contact Us for a warranty replacement.

Q: Eliminar caracteres desde la aparición de un patrón Tengo el siguiente problema: Cuento con un vector que es de la siguiente forma:
vector = c("100%35%","10%50%","0.50%1","2.5%")

Me gustaría eliminar para cada elemento, todo lo que continua luego de la primera aparición del "%"
Mi salida deseada seria:
"100%"  "10%"   "0.50%" "2.5%"

Cualquier expresión regular eficiente me ayudaría un montón
Muchas gracias

A: Si no te molesta usar una solución sin patrones regulares, lo que se puede es:

*

*Dividir cada cadena por el %

*Extraer en cada caso solo el primer elemento

The sorry tale of the fund meant for eco-sensitive Aravalli range
CAG report laments the 15-year-old non-existence of internal audit wing in Haryana's mining department
Himanshu Upadhyaya | December 24, 2019

In an audit report tabled in the Haryana assembly on November 26, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has indicted the Department of Mining and Geology of the state for its consistent failure to implement the fund for restoration of mining-affected landscape.
Citing these audit findings, the opposition has raised the demand for a judicial probe in what they term as "Rs 5000 crore mining scam". It is pertinent to point out that CAG audit covers 95 contracts awarded between December 2013 and March 2017 in 10 mining offices and points out deficiencies such as non-collection of balance bid security, contract money, contribution to restoration fund from the contractors and royalty/ additional royalty from Brick Kiln Owners amounting to Rs 1476.21 crore.
Responding to the opposition demand for a judicial probe, the state's home minister, Anil Vij stated that "appropriate decision" will be taken only after the Pubic Accounts Committee (PAC) makes thorough investigation of the CAG "allegations". While Vij might be right on the procedural part, the contents of a CAG audit report are audit findings and not "allegations". The casualness that marks the government's response even before a PAC meeting to discuss these audit findings takes place is also worrisome, given that fact that CAG had carried out a similar performance audit on the functioning of the department of mining and geology in its report for the year 2003-04, whose recommendations are yet to be implemented!
Take, for example, this recommendation: Writing 15 years ago, CAG of India raised concerns about "the non-existence of internal audit wing in the Department". After feeling sad that PAC of the state assembly has failed to get this recommendation implemented and "no remedial action was taken by the Department during the last 15 years", CAG report notes, "The non-existence of internal audit wing resulted in lack of effective monitoring and accumulation of huge arrears against the contractors."
This 46-page performance audit highlights most crucially an abysmal track record of Haryana in implementing the ecological restoration fund for mining-affected landscape in three audit paragraphs.
Before going into details of these audit findings of the fund, it would be relevant to present the evolution of this District Mineral Foundation like policy instrument.
Acting on the recommendation by the Central Empowered Committee in its report of January 2009, the Supreme Court had imposed a complete ban on mining in the eco-sensitive Aravalli range (448 square km) in Haryana on May 8, 2009. In a hearing on October 8, 2009, the apex court had directed the state government to establish Aravalli Rehabilitation Fund. Following these directions, Haryana government notified the Aravalli Rehabilitation Fund by a notification dated January 14, 2010 and submitted the Aravalli Rehabilitation Plan on March 31, 2010 to the court.
Five years later, the state government notified the Mines and Mineral Development, Restoration and Rehabilitation Fund on July 10, 2015, by extending the remit to all mining affected landscapes in order to ensure ecological restoration.
Audit calculated that in nine mining offices where mining operations commenced between May 2015 and March 2017, "48 contractors were required to deposit monthly instalments to the Mines and Mineral Development Restoration and Rehabilitation Fund (MMDRR Fund henceforth) amounting to Rs 97.72 crore in total". However, audit scrutiny revealed that "the contractors deposited Rs 48.42 crores in the MMDRR Fund, resulting in short/non-deposit of Rs 49.30 crore". Audit also found that the department was lax in collection of penal interest for delayed payment of contribution to the MMDRR Fund and calculated that "interest of Rs 17.44 crore upto March 2018 was also leviable".
The department neither ensured contribution to the MMDR Fund by the contractors nor levied interest for the delayed payment or non-payment, states the CAG report.
Exposing the lack of commitment on part of the state government, audit scrutiny found that "the State Government contributed only an amount of Rs 12.55 crore to the MMDRR Fund in March 2017", while as per the law, "the State Government was liable to contribute Rs 30.25 crore (Rs 1.40 crore for the year 2014-'15, Rs 10.76 crore for the year 2015-'16 and Rs 18.09 crore for the year 2016-'17)".
No amount was deposited in the MMDRR Fund by the state government in 2015-16 and there was short contribution of Rs 17.70 crore, adds the CAG report.
The CAG audit also pointed out that "the State Government was required to credit interest of Rs 4.61 crore at the rate of six percent per annum on the accumulated Fund as on 31st March". However, in the consistent tale of non-compliance, CAG auditors found that "the Government did not credit the interest in the Fund".
There was complete disregard of the promises made in the Notification for MMDRR Fund and the monitoring mechanism had failed miserably. The CAG audit states that "the Committee was required to convene at least five meetings between July 2015 and March 2017 to review the status of the Fund etc., however, it didn't meet even once during that period"!
The notification of District Mineral Foundation Rules in Haryana provides for internal audit of the DMF Trusts and also a subsequent audit by the office of the Principal Accountant General (Audit) Haryana. While internal audit wing remains non-existent, the performance audit report is silent on the state of DMF in Haryana. The CAG auditors could have tried to mine into the expenditure and outcomes from MMDRR Fund as well its precedent Aravalli Rehabilitation Fund.
Also, CAG auditors have an option of considering such performance audits as a rare opportunity to understand and assess the environment impact of mining and the state's commitment (or the absence thereof) to restore the ecology of the mining affected landscape.

Mustache moxie: Brandon Dubinsky's late goal gives Rangers 3-2 win over Washington
By Joe YerdonApr 17, 2011, 7:10 PM EDT
Some teams are rocking the playoff beards but Rangers forward Brandon Dubinsky is rolling with the playoff mustache. While it might be offensive to your eyes, it's working out just great for him as Dubinsky potted the game-winning goal with 1:39 to play in the third to give the Rangers a 3-2 victory and their first win in the series.
Dubinsky's goal was a huge lift for the team after the Caps managed to keep finding ways to tie the game up. New York had taken a 2-1 lead earlier in the third period thanks to a goal from Vinny Prospal at 8:01 of the third. The Rangers lead would only last for a few minutes as a Marian Gaborik penalty turned into a Mike Knuble power play goal at 14:48 of the third to tie things up at 2-2.
For New York, they've got life finally after getting a win and getting the series to 2-1. Things were looking low for the Rangers after their lackluster performance in Game 2 getting shutout by Michal Neuvirth (32 saves today). Now they've got a little momentum going and their band mustachioed players can use that going ahead into Game 4 on Wednesday.
New York was able to overcome their bad power play (1-7) and a disallowed goal at the end of the second period as well as a persistent Caps team to get the win. All that and a little bit of luck on Dubinsky's goal is all it takes sometimes to change the mindset of a team.
For the Capitals, they need to clean things up. While Bruce Boudreau complained during a mid-game interview about how some of the calls being made against his team were "ticky tack calls" penalties hurt the Caps. While they allowed just one power play goal, playing shorthanded for stretches like that hurts as well because it keeps them from attacking.
For Game 4, expect the same sort of play from New York with aggressive attacking and lots of shot blocking while the Capitals look to avoid the watchful eye of the officials and stay out of the box to work on an attack of their own and put a bit more pressure on Henrik Lundqvist (23 saves). With as many dangerous players as the Caps have, they're not doing a lot to make Lundqvist uncomfortable in goal.
Here's Brandon Dubinsky and his glorious mustache talking with Darren Pang after the game about his game-winner.

Govt asks banks to push easier loans to labour intensive sectors
According to RBI data, bank credit growth fell to a 62-year low of 5.1% in 2016 from a year ago. Many sectors have been hit and the government needs to provide some handholding through policy.
ET Bureau
Updated: January 20, 2017, 09:18 IST
NEW DELHI: The government has asked leading banks to assess credit offtake in some of the most labour intensive sectors in the wake of demonetisation and push for easier loans on a priority basis, a move that comes amid concerns over potential negative impact of the cash crunch. Sectors including textile, leather, footwear, gems and jewellery, and construction are under the scanner, government officials said.
The industry department along with the financial services department plans to hold a meeting with the banks, ministries concerned and industry representatives in the coming week to further discuss the matter.
"We want to push all such sectors which employ a large number of people, especially since many have suffered losses during the demonetisation exercise," said a senior government official, who did not wish to be identified. The government will assess credit offtake in these sectors and ask the banks to plug the gaps in availability of funds.
"Many sectors have been hit and the government needs to provide some handholding through policy. "Once the economic cycle picks up the demand for credit will increase as well," said DK Joshi, chief economist, Crisil.
Alongside, the government is focusing on these sectors in its Make in India campaign to boost manufacturing and increase the share of these sectors in overall GDP growth. The sectors have been shortlisted on the basis of their potential for employment generation in the country, official said. India's working population is likely to increase more than 64% by 2021 according to the Economic Survey 2014, posing a big challenge for the government to create adequate number of jobs.
Various companies from leather, textile and cement sectors had raised concerns of falling output with the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion as a result of the government's decision on November 8, 2016 to withdraw old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes as legal tender.
These companies highlighted problems related to procurement and transportation of raw material, and payment of wages to workers.
According to data released by Reserve Bank of India bank credit growth fell to a 62-year low of 5.1% in 2016 from a year ago. The labour intensive sectors took a greater hit. "The pain period should be getting over soon. Most sectors, whether cash linked or not, get affected since they are interlinked," Joshi said.

Cuba Explorer
Lose yourself in the rhythm of vivacious Havana before setting out to explore Cuba's stunning coastline and weathered historical villages. Discover the unique combination of Spanish and Caribbean influences that shaped this country on a visit to rambunctious Santiago de Cuba. Learn whether you do, in fact, have two left feet in a salsa class and then brush up on your Spanish under the tutelage of your learned leader. Wander through the purposefully labyrinthine streets of Camaguey or marvel at the views from atop Trinidad's northern ranges. Whether you want to dance up a storm at one of Cuba's plentiful nightclubs or simply lie on its idyliic beaches, this emerging Caribbean hotspot has something for everyone.
Old-world charm, rich history, exciting nightlife - evocative Havana is like nowhere else on Earth. See the difference between city and coastal life on a guided walking tour of the old capital
Take inspiration from the locals and mix things up with a bicycle-taxi tour of the colonial city of Camaguey
Enjoy over two free days in Trinidad. Practice your Spanish in a language class, loll about on an unspoilt Caribbean beach or peddle through sugar plantations on a charmingly rickety bicycle
There's a lot more to the life of Che Guevara than what you'll learn from watching 'The Motorcycle Diaries'. Pay your respects to the famous revolutionary during an included visit to his mausoleum
After an informal salsa lesson, you'll be ready to hit the dance floor with the locals. With its vibrant music scene and Afro-Cuban roots, sultry Santiago de Cuba is a great place to practice your moves
Day 1 - Havana
Bienvenido a Cuba! Welcome to Cuba. Attend a welcome meeting at approximately 6 pm. Please expect a letter from your leader in the afternoon of Day 1 to confirm the place of your meeting (if by 5 pm you cannot locate this letter then please ask your guesthouse owner if one has been delivered, or ask to call our assistance line listed in the 'Problems and emergency contact information' section of this document). We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting, so ensure you have all these details to provide to your leader. The tour briefing is generally followed by an optional group dinner. As there's a great deal to do in Havana, we recommend staying a few extra days to make the most of this exciting city. If you need help booking extra accommodation, our reservations team will be happy to assist. If you arrive early, please note most activities in Cuba can only be booked through the tourist desk in the lobbies of the larger hotels or direct with the venue. Otherwise, there are plenty of good museums to check out, including the Museo de la Revolucion and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.
Take a walking tour of Old Havana, a perfect first taste of the city. Your local guide will show you the cathedral, Plaza de Armas, San Francisco de Asis, Plaza Vieja and Central Park. After the tour you will have an casual Spanish lesson to help with blend in with the locals. Then, enjoy your free afternoon exploring Havana further.
Day 3 - Santa Clara / Camaguey
After lunch, start heading to the East of the island which overall will take about 8 hours without stops. On the way (approximately 3 hours), stop in Santa Clara, one of the first major cities to be liberated by Castro's army in December 1958. Today a number of monuments commemorate this important period of Cuba's history, including the mausoleum of the legendary Che Guevara. After this stop you will have an casual Spanish lesson on the bus to help pass the time before the included dinner and to prepare you to blend in with the locals. After another four or so hours driving, arrive in Camaguey at approximately 9pm. This is simply a stop for you and the driver to rest before continuing on tomorrow; so don't stress as you'll have time to explore Camaguey on the way back.
Day 4 - Santiago de Cuba
Stop somewhere along the way for breakfast before arriving in Santiago de Cuba (5-6 hours drive) around lunch, hopefully at check in time for your guesthouses. Head out for an orienation tour then enjoy some time for further exploration. Santiago is the cradle of the revolution and home of the traditional son music, a mix of Spanish guitar and African percussion. With a strong Afro-Cuban heritage it's no surprise that Santiago has a vibrant music scene that will entice the shyest, most left-footed dancer out to learn some salsa moves. The city is also well known for its vibrant and energetic Carnaval celebrations, and its lively Festival of Caribbean Culture. Later, discover whether you were born with two left feet in a salsa class.
Today your leader will take you on a three-hour city tour of Santiago. You'll visit El Morro Castle, Ifigenia cemetery and the Moncada barracks. For nearly a century, the city was the island's seat of power and it holds the title of 'Hero City of the Republic of Cuba' for its leading role in significant events during the Revolution. The people of Santiago were the first to rise up in arms against government troops in 1956, and it was in Santiago on January 1st 1959, that Fidel Castro declared the triumph of the revolution in a broadcast message to the country and the world. Santiago's half million residents are proud of their cultural traditions, so you'll find many museums and cultural clubs around the city. Enjoy a free afternoon to soak up the best that Santiago has to offer – explore the city's incredible contributions to music and literature at one of its many museums, or pop in at Barrita de Ron Havana Club to sample some authentic local rum.
Day 6 - Camaguey
Today head east along the Carretera Central back to Camaguey. You will get a chance to stroll around Bayamo along with lunch to break it up. If there is time on arrival into Camaguey, you will be shown around the city by bicycle taxi, otherwise you'll do this tomorrow morning. Despite its size, Cuba's third largest city has managed to retain much of its colonial heritage, and exploring the city's winding streets is half the fun. The city was planned in a deliberately irregular and confusing pattern hoping to disorient any would-be assailants. As you walk through the city you may still see tinajones, large clay pots used for collecting water. On your explorations, stop by the Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad with its baroque frescoes. Camaguey is also home of the Ballet de Camaguey, the second most important dance company in Cuba.
Day 7 - Trinidad
Drive approximately six hours to Trinidad. Get accustomed to the slow pace of island living on an orientation walk. For most visitors to Cuba, the World Heritage site of Trinidad is their standout favourite destination. No other colonial city in Cuba is so well preserved, and the local residents are extremely friendly and festive. The town rose to prominence during the sugar boom and the wealth generated by the industry remains visible in the town's once grand mansions, colourful public buildings, wrought iron grill-work and cobble-stoned streets.
Trinidad is also steeped in religion, such as Santeria, which is one of the Afro-Cuban religions (related to voodoo). In your free time today, why not pay a visit to a Santeria priest and learn more about this fascinating religion. Alternatively, soak up the sun in beautiful Playa Ancon, a postcard-perfect coastal spot. A hike to the northern mountains is also highly recommended.
Leave behind the pictureqesue beaches and mountains of Trinidad and return to Havana. There is still time to visit a cigar factory, learn more about Ernest Hemingway or simply to take the time to appreciate the city's diverse architecture. Perhaps celebrate the last night of the tour with a show at one of Havana's famous cabaret clubs such as Tropicana. Or show off your moves at one of the many salsa clubs.
Day 10 - Havana
Your trip comes to an end this morning after breakfast. Check-out time is 10 am.
Based on: Havana, 8th Aug 2019


BENGALURU: Health Minister K R Ramesh Kumar on Thursday announced the reorganisation of the Health Department by creating a public health cadre and revising the Cadre and Recruitment (C & R) rules.
"Creation of a public health cadre will lead to reallocation of the existing cadres and new positions at the state, district and taluk levels," he told reporters.
After a struggle of over 10 years by public health experts to create a public health cadre in the state, the proposal is finally out of the cold storage. It was first proposed during the S M Krishna government.
Currently, clinicians who are meant to practice medicine are made block/taluk health officers, district health officers, deputy directors, joint directors and directors in public health. They have to learn on the job with no prior qualifications in public health to hold such positions.
arious high power committees had recommended that right from taluk to state-level hospitals, the state needs to create a public health cadre. They had also recommended that after six years of rural service, medical officers should be given an option of pursuing post-graduation in public health, clinical services or hospital administration.
Giridhara R Babu, Additional Professor, Public Health Foundation of India, said, "Now, officials know about national health programmes by virtue of clinical practice.
"Around 500 positions in the public health cadre need to be created. Currently, in 176 taluks, more than 200 officials are qualified, but at least 350 need to be trained. Now, the focus is on clinical services. There are other aspects like non-communicable disease prevention, sanitation, immunisation, etc. You need a multi-sectoral approach," Babu said.
"Tamil Nadu has been a pioneer on this front. After six years of service there, a clinician gets to choose whether he wants to practise medicine or indulge in health planning or preventive health programmes like immunisation. The Health Department in Karnataka needs a hospital management cadre to know how to organise a hospital," he added.
Currently, the Director of the Health Department looks after both public health and clinical aspects. MBBS graduates with about six years of experience in rural PHCs are appointed as block and taluk health officers, district health officers, deputy director (public health specialities), Director (public health) and other senior posts.
Public health experts recommend that the minimum qualification for those in public health administration be increased to post-graduation in Public Health and for those in hospital services administration, to PG in a clinical speciality. They also suggest an increase in minimum experience in sync with the seniority of the post.

Mother admits to abuse
Patrick Malone
A young Pueblo mother pleaded guilty Thursday to misdemeanor child abuse, while her boyfriend backed out of a guilty plea at the last minute.
Holly Elizabeth Swinford, 22, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless child abuse of her 2-year-old son. The pact calls for a sentence of probation, but up to 60 days in jail or two years on work release are among the possible conditions that District Judge Scott Epstein could impose on Swinford when he sentences her on Aug. 15. Swinford's guilty plea is subject to the judge's approval on the day of sentencing.
Swinford's live-in boyfriend, Troy Lish, 20, was set to plead guilty on Thursday to a felony count of negligent child abuse, but reconsidered the plea and withdrew after Swinford already had pleaded guilty.
Under the terms of the plea agreement that Lish snubbed, he would have received an 18-month deferred sentence under the supervision of the state probation department. It carried the possibility of 90 days in jail or two years on work release, but the crime would have been stricken from Lish's record if he successfully completed his deferred sentence.
Absent a plea agreement, Lish could face up to 16 years in prison if convicted of the count to which he was prepared to plead guilty. He also faces a misdemeanor count of child abuse, a second felony count of child abuse and two felony counts of accessory to child abuse. Those charges would have been dismissed if Lish followed through with his guilty plea. Lish is not the child's biological father.
Michael Emmons, Lish's court-appointed lawyer, said he doesn't believe the prosecution's case against his client is especially strong.
Swinford's son was treated at Parkview Medical Center twice in August for an infected second-degree burn on his right foot, according to an affidavit by Pueblo police Detective Daniel Anderson.
When police questioned Swinford and Lish about how the child was hurt, both said they didn't know. They said they suspected he had stepped on the bulb of a toppled lamp.
Police dismissed that explanation because no cuts from the broken glass of a bulb were evident, according to the affidavit.
When the Pueblo County Department of Social Services took custody of the boy on Sept. 1 (about one week after he was first treated for the burn), Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods found a more recent burn on the boy's leg. He also had bruises in various stages of healing on his torso, back, hip and ears, according to the affidavit.
Swinford and Lish both are free from jail on personal-recognizance bonds.


i recently used up the last of this Summer's chard and cutting celery in a very Autumnal pot of barley soup, signaling the official change of seasons here at la maison gnu. now we get to look forward to the varying degrees of coldness that come between September and next April May June. i tend to think of it as my punishment for falling for a Canadian.
luckily, i have an impressive list of Fall-Winter knits to tackle in the coming months, and i am looking (especially) forward to ending what has become a disturbing trend in my crafting life. i was perusing some photos of recently completed knitting projects, when it first caught my attention. do you see it?
not being one for resolutions, i began the year with a solemn promise to put my fiber stash to better use by making stuff for myself that i might actually wear... instead of just shoving them into the wardrobe, only to pull them out once or twice a year to be admired briefly before being returned to the pile of unworn hand-knits i keep hidden from sunlight at the back of my wardrobe. the first step in this endeavor was the purchase of more wool-free yarns that i could keep next to my skin for more than a few minutes at a time. as most fiber-folks would agree, when trying to use up one's stash, the first step is to buy more yarn... naturally. turns out that there is a wide world of cotton and linen yarns that make for awesome year-round wearing. sold! armed with this powerful revelation, i set out to make myself a comfy top or two for the warmer months. that is when things got weird.
the garment at the left/back of this stack is last year's orange sherbet cardi, but the other four garments are from this Summer. i included the cardi in the lineup, as it seems to fit in with the disturbing theme. when you look at them, hanging there all together like that, one cannot help but think, wow... that is an awful lot of pink... which is odd, as i do not like pink. my clothing life is usually dominated by many shades of white, black, and grey. navy blue is my idea of colorful attire. seriously. i might occasionally venture into turquoise or Mediterranean Blue if i am feeling particularly adventurous, but there is usually alcohol involved at that point. why then is it that all of my attempts at comfortable, warm weather clothing for self seem to converge on varying shades of pink? i plan to spend this week exploring this phenomenon, before (hopefully) returning to more familiar territory.
i bought some absurdly pricey yarn last year, and i was living in constant fear of ruining any of it. no exaggeration... i was so intimidated by how much this stuff cost, that i could not bring myself to store it away with the rest of my stash, so it lived, nestled with great care, at the back of the dresser drawer where i keep my underwear. true story. i am still far too intimidated to touch the green silk stuff, but i managed to pluck up the courage to turn the fuchsia cotton/linen yarn into a Linum Tee (by Bristol Ivy). i made mine a couple-few inches longer than the pattern suggests, as i wanted it to be more tunic-y-ish-esqe-like.
it is a relatively simple top whose main feature presented an intense challenge to my particular brand of OCD. do you see the asymmetry in that top section? scary!
i was not crazy about the unfinished edge on the armhole, but it is growing on me... i think.
it looks red, but the color is actually an intense fuchsia that almost glows in sunlight. what was i possibly thinking??? the dye on this yarn bled like crazy when i washed the top.
there were lots of tiny bits of fiber fluff left floating in the water... and this was the third rinse! this is definitely going to be a hand-wash-only item.
i even took the time to photograph it with the colorful necklace i bought at a little shop in the neighborhood. throw in a white skirt, low-slung belt, and some sandals, and that is a seriously cute combo... if i ever talk myself into actually wearing it out in public. maybe next Summer.
tomorrow we will take a look at the top that time forgot... literally.
i am going to break my "no serious topics" rule just this once to mention that my mom called me this morning from her office. it is the same strange exchange we have shared on this day for each of the past sixteen years. she works for a company that had their offices halfway up the north tower of the World Trade Center... and, yes, she was there that day. [she was also there back in ninety-three, when i stood inside my high school, a few blocks away, while helicopters came and went, using the empty lot across the street from our building as a landing zone]. there were no 9/11 casualties among her coworkers, but they were in the process of merging with another company that lost twenty employees on that day, so they hold a memorial service each year in honor of those individuals.
it was several hours before we knew that my mom was safe, and it is impossible to acknowledge this date on the calendar without revisiting some part of that feeling of complete and utter dread. my heart goes out to anyone who was there, and especially to the families who did not get the phone call that my own family was so relieved to eventually receive that day.
i was especially proud of my city in the aftermath of that tragedy. we shed our reputation of unkindness and indifference, and reached out to support each other in so many wonderful ways. we strove to be our best selves in the face of despair, and that is what i try most of all to focus on when this day rolls around each year.

Sometimes you just get a hankering for smoked fish and rice. And eggs. And some spice. Or maybe it's just me! This one is made with brown rice, but it's just as good with your preferred rice, and would probably be quicker to make! Oh, and it's dairy-free friendly (most kedgerees have you poach the fish).
1. Put the rice in a medium saucepan with the salt and boiled water and put the heat on at medium. Boil for around 20 minutes or until the grains start to burst and it is tender when tasted. You may need to add a small amount of water if it bold dry before it's ready. In fact, it's highly likely.
2. Slice the onion and pepper and sauteé the onion and pepper. Once they're good and soft, add the spices and turn off the heat.
3. Trim and debone the haddock and wrap up in foil. Bake in the oven for around 8 minutes, until starting to flake. Boil the egg for 4 minutes, cool and peel.
4. When the rice is ready, turn the heat back up under the onions and peppers and chucj the rice in. Stir a few times until everything is hot and well-mixed.
5. Pour out into a bowl, chop and add the egg and flake the fish in top.
Don't be tempted to add too much salt as the fish will be really smoky and salty. Otherwise, enjoy!

Flood threat looms large in Odisha district
Rajashree DasJajpur, July 21: With incessant rains for the past three days showing no sign of abetment, the water levels in Baitarani and its branch river Budha continued to rise triggering flood in Jajpur district of Odisha on Monday.Baitarani is flowing above the danger mark near Akhuapada of the district and the river is rising alarmingly due to heavy rains in the upper catchment area.On Monday evening, the water level in Baitarani at Akhuapada was flowing at 18.70 metre against its danger level 17.83 metre, the officials said.The river is still flowing alarmingly, they added.Thousands of people of Dasarathapur, Korei and Jajpur blocks in Jajpur district have fled their homes to safer places as river Baitarani swelled alarmingly since Sunday and flowed above the danger mark, inundating many low-lying areas in of these blocks.Baitarani's branch Budha river is also flowing above the danger mark resulting into floods in some low lying inhabited villages in the district.According to district administration officials, with both Baitarani and its branch flowing above danger mark flood water has forced at least 10,000 people in three blocks of the district to move to safer areas.The district administration has sounded high alert in the region."The water level in Baitarani is flowing above the danger mark and we expect that there will be high flood in the river tonight as it is rising alarmingly," said Jajpur Collector Anil Kumar Samal.He said the district administration has asked the people residing in the low lying areas to come to safer places in wake of the high flood in the river and take shelter in nearby schools and cyclone shelters.The district administration had an emergency meeting with all concerned officials in the afternoon and alerted them accordingly.One team each of Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force has been dispatched to Dasarathapur and Korei.Further, two more teams of National Disaster Rapid Action Force are expected to arrive soon, he said."We are keeping a close watch on the flood and asked all the concerned block development officers as well as the Tehsildars to be vigilant," said Samal.A round the clock control room has been opened, he said adding all leaves of the officials have been canceled due to the flood situation."The district administration is well prepared to meet any kind of eventuality arising out of situation," said Samal.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Safe to use Huntertown 9mm can with my Max-11/22 insert?
I've got a M11/9 with a lage upper and a lage .22 conversion. The way the conversion works is the .22 barrel inserts through the 9mm barrel. Muzzle of the .22 barrel is pretty flush with the end of the stock Lage birdcage flashhider.
A. Will the Huntertown 9mm can stand up to at least short bursts of .22lr? Or more?
B. If it will, is there some other reason that I haven't thought of why I shouldn't shoot .22lr through my 9mm can?
I do have a silencerco Sparrow in ATF limbo. But I'd have to make an adapter to make it work with the threads on that 9mm lage barrel.
I have a m11/22 lage upper that was extended out and then threaded for an 1/2-28 adapter that way the suppressor is on the actual 22 barrel and not the 9mm barrel.
Neat. Can you show me a picture? So the .22 barrel insert sticks out from the 9mm muzzle a little bit?
Who did that for you?
Yea ill get you a picture tonight or tomorrow. I bought it off the EE that was but i believe i was told tornado technologies did it.
Should have no issue shooting 22 through a 9mm can but it will need cleaned likely.
I doubt you are going to have any problems with your proposed setup, but I also doubt anyone will warranty that setup.
Threading the .22 insert is probably a better plan.
Thanks, that's an interesting setup. So you sent them your .22 barrel, and they threaded it and sent it back along with that threaded extension, right?
I bought it used. I believe tornado technologies did the work.
Just went and found the ad where i bought it TROS did the work fwiw.
this is my M11/nine with lage 22 kit threaded and the 9mm barrel shortened by mike at USMG.
I used the same kit with my 9mm thompson sg can, I just let it stick into the can and it worked fine for me, the 9mm hole was big enough that I wasn't worried about baffle strikes, and honestly don't know if the soft lead would even ding my can, they get so dirty that it's hard to tell.

What Is the Function of the Integumentary System?
The integumentary system protects the body, regulates temperature and functions in water transfer. It is also an important sensory organ that transmits information about the surrounding world.
The skin, a major component of the integumentary system, is the body's largest organ. One of the chief functions of the integumentary system is protection. The skin protects sensitive internal structures from damage and from sudden temperature changes. It also provides a barrier against disease agents, such as bacteria, parasites and fungi.
Melanin in the skin provides a natural sunscreen; increases in melanin production protect the body and the skin itself from ultraviolet radiation damage. The skin also uses ultraviolet light to produce vitamin D.
The integumentary system is essential in maintaining homeostasis, a state of stability across factors like temperature and hydration, in the body. The integumentary system stores water and prevents dehydration as well as producing sweat to regulate temperature and rid the body of waste products.
Running throughout the integumentary system are a series of blood vessels and nerve cells. The skin is extremely sensitive to factors like temperature and pressure. This allows an individual to perceive pain and take measures to end or prevent uncomfortable or potentially harmful situations. Sensitivity to temperature allows one to determine whether conditions are too hot or too cold to be safe.

Test of Controls: When to Perform and How
By	Charles Hall | Auditing
A test of controls is a response to the risk a material misstatement. Today, I tell you when to use this response and how.
Three Responses to the Risk of Material Misstatement
The audit standards provide three potential responses (further audit procedures) to the risk of material misstatement:
Test of details
Substantive analytical procedures
Test of controls
Today we look at the third option.
Why Test Controls?
Which response to a risk of material misstatement (RMM) is best? That depends on what you discover in risk assessment.
If, for example, your client consistently fails to record payables, then assess the completeness assertion for control risk at high. Your response? Perform a search for unrecorded liabilities, a test of details.
Alternatively, if controls for receivables are strong, you can assess the existence assertion for control risk at less than high and test controls. If the test proves the controls are effective, you can perform fewer substantive tests, such as a search for unrecorded liabilities.
Assessing Control Risk at High
Many auditors assess control risk at high (after risk assessment is complete) and use a fully substantive approach. That is fine, especially in audits of smaller entities. Why? Because smaller entities tend to have weaker controls. As a result, controls may not be effective. And you may not be able to assess control risk at less than high. (Nevertheless, most entities do have some controls that are effective.)
Assessing Control Risk at Less Than High
Control risk assessments of less than high must be supported with a test of controls. Why? To prove effectiveness. But if controls are not effective, you must assess control risk at high. This is why you might bypass control testing. You know, either from prior experience or from current-year walkthroughs, that controls are not effective. And if you test controls and find they are ineffective, you are back to square one: a control risk assessment of high. And now you must respond with either a test of details or substantive analytics, or a combination of the two. Testing ineffective controls is a waste of time.
Nevertheless, if controls are effective, why not test them? Doing so allows you to reduce your substantive procedures (test of details or substantive analytics).
Once risk assessment is complete, the decision regarding responses (further audit procedures) is largely based on efficiency. If control testing takes less time, then test controls. If substantive procedures takes less time, then perform a test of details or use a substantive analytical approach. But, regardless of efficiency considerations, address all risks with appropriate responses.
Next, we'll assume that controls are anticipated to be effective. And we'll look at how to test controls.
How to Test Controls
So you've decided to test controls for effectiveness. But how? Let's look at an example starting with risk assessment.
Control Risk Assessment
Your approach to testing controls depends on risk identified during risk assessment. For example, your walkthrough reveals appropriate segregation of duties. And you also see that the client issues receipts for each payment. Additionally, total daily cash inflows are reconciled to the bank statement. In other words, controls are designed properly and they have been implemented. Also, as an example, you've determined completeness is a relevant assertion. Why? Theft is a concern.
Control Test Supports Effectiveness
Now, it's time to test for effectiveness. You've already determined segregation of duties is present. If necessary, make additional observations regarding who is doing what. And document those observations. If the client has an accounting handbook, see if there were any amendments to the control system during the period being audited. Why? You want to know if the segregation of duties was present throughout the year. Make additional inquires, if needed.
Additionally, re-perform the receipt controls on a sample basis. But before doing so, determine the controls you are testing and the sample size. For example, your sample size might be 60 receipts and the control being tested is the issuance of a receipt by an authorized person. Additionally, you might sample 25 daily reconciliations to the bank statement. Document this information including how you determined your sample sizes. Now perform your tests and document whether the controls are effective. If yes, leave your control risk at less than high. You have support for that lower risk assessment. Additionally, you can now perform fewer substantive tests.
Test Doesn't Support Effectiveness
If your test does not support effectiveness, expand your sample size and test additional receipts. Or you can punt on the testing controlsand move to a substantive approach. Regardless, if controls are not effective, consider the need to communicate the control deficiency.
So, when should you test controls?
When to Test Controls
Here are two situations where you are required to test controls:
When there is a significant risk and you are placing reliance on controls related to that risk
When substantive procedures don't properly address a risk of material misstatement
Allow me to explain.
Required Test of Controls
Auditing standards allow a three-year rotation for testing controls, as long as the area tested is not a significant risk. But if the auditor plans to rely on a test of controls related to a significant risk, operating effectiveness must be tested in the current period. Additionally, the auditor should perform substantive procedures responsive to the significant risk. And those substantive procedures must include a test of details.
Also a test of controls is necessary if substantive procedures don't properly address a risk of material misstatement. For example, consider the controls related to reallocation of investments in a 401(k). The participant goes online and moves funds from one account to another. There are no humans involved in the process, other than the participant. When processes are fully automated, substantive procedures may not provide sufficient audit evidence. If that is your situation, you must test of controls. Thankfully, a type 2 service organization control report is usually available in audits of 401(k)s. Such a report provides evidence that controls have already been tested by the service organization's auditor. And you can leverage (place reliance upon) those tests.
Three Year Rotation
As I said earlier, audit standards allow a three-year rotation for testing effectiveness. For example, if you test accounts payable controls in 2020, then you can wait until 2023 to test them again. In 2021 and 2022, you need to ensure that these controls have not changed. You also want to determine that those controls have continuing relevance in the current audit. How? See if the controls continue to address a risk of material misstatement. And as you perform your annual walkthroughs, inquire about changes, observe the controls, and inspect documents. Why? You want to know that everything is working as before. And, yes, you do need to perform those walkthroughs annually, if that is how you corroborate your understanding of controls.
In short, testing for effectiveness can occur every three years, in most cases. But risk assessment procedures (e.g., walkthroughs) must be performed annually.
So should tests occur at interim or after year-end?
Interim or Year-End Tests
Some auditors test after the period has ended. Others at interim. Which should you choose?
If it fits better into your work schedule, perform interim test of controls. Here's an example: You perform an interim test of controls on November 1, 2019. Later, say in February 2020, consider whether controls have changed during the last two months of the year. See if the same people are performing those controls. And consider performing an additional tests of controls for the November 1 to December 31 period. Once done, determine if the controls are effective.
But testing on an interim date is not always the answer. For example, if management is inclined to manipulate earnings near year-end, then interim tests may not be appropriate.
If you choose to test after year-end, then you'll examine controls for the full period being audited. Your sample should be representative of that timeframe.
So should you ever test at a point in time and not over a period of time? Yes, sometimes. For example, you might test inventory count controls at year-end.
When auditors perform Single Audits, there is often confusion about testing internal controls. The requirements are different. So let's take a look.
Single Audit Test of Controls
Perform a test of controls in Single Audits, but don't confuse this test with those discussed above. The guidance above is in regard to generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). The Single Audit is another set of standards and has different requirements. In Single Audits, you plan the audit with a low control risk assessment and you test for effectiveness. (One exception: when controls are not present. Then report the control deficiency in the Single Audit report.) The efficiency decision permitted in GAAS (see above) is not in play for your Single Audit work.
The types of controls you are testing in a Single Audit are also different. Here you test controls related to compliance requirements such as allowability, eligibility, procurement, and reporting. Perform such tests for each major program compliance requirement that is direct and material. The compliance requirements are specified in the OMB Compliance Supplement. See parts 2 (Matrix of Compliance Requirements) and 3 (Compliance Requirements).
Well, can you see why testing controls is confusing? There's a lot to think about.
As I said above, many auditors tend to rely fully on substantive responses to the risks of material misstatement. But, in some cases, that may not be the best or wisest approach. If controls are designed well and functioning, why not test them? Especially if it takes less time than substantive procedures.
Finally, take a look at my two related articles regarding responses to the risk of material misstatement: (1) Test of Details: Substantive Procedures and (2) Substantive Analytics: Smart Audit Procedures.

It's hard to believe that a little over a month ago my open water season just wrapped up and the boat was officially winterized (thanks to the fine folks at Urban Sport in Arnprior). I've written a few articles about the fall walleye season for various publications but realized I hadn't yet done a wrap-up. Lots of memories were created aboard the Alumacraft and lots of nice fat walleye were caught too! I decided to put together a list of the top 10 walleye that made it to the net during the fall season on Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte.
#1 – Eric was up with the first double digit walleye of the season! This 11-pound beauty was caught on a Bay Rat Long Extra Deep.
#2 – My first double digit of the season, this 10-pound, 14-ounce walleye ate a Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue. For me there's not much that compares to the beauty of a double digit big-bellied walleye!
#3 – Another double digit for Eric, this time at 12 pounds, 8 ounces! This fish was a new personal best to boot and was caught on a Rapala Jointed Deep Husky Jerk.
#4 – Just before we were about to call it a day, Eric followed up with this beautiful tank crushing his previous personal best! This time the scale hit 13 pounds even! This fish was also caught on a Jointed Deep Husky Jerk.
#5 – My friend Lori joined us and landed her biggest walleye ever, at 12 pounds, 12-ounces! Both Lori and I were in (happy) tears over this fish and I'll never forget that moment. She landed an even bigger fish just a few days later (during Ladies Walleye Weekend) but this fish was definitely one of the most memorable walleye moments ever. Her fish ate a Berkley Flicker Minnow.
#6 – After landing the fish above, Lori finished out the day with another double digit at 10 pounds even! This fish also ate a Flicker Minnow.
#7 – My largest of the season, this beauty tipped the scales at 12-pounds and 2-ounces! This walleye chomped a Deep Husky Jerk.
#8 – Another double digit for Eric, this time an 11-pounder! This 'eye ate a Smithwick Perfect 10 Rogue.
#9 – Our friend Herman was able to jump aboard for a day and smashed his previous personal best with this 11 pound, 10 ounce beauty! His fish ate a Jointed Deep Husky Jerk.
#10 – We had an open seat in the boat one morning and our friend Lenny didn't hesitate in joining. Lenny's 12-pound, 13-ounce beast ate a Jointed Deep Husky Jerk.
I know this is a top 10 list… but what the heck, let's include one more!
#11 – Last but certainly not least, the season ended off with a special guest aboard. John Anderson of the Ottawa River Musky Factory and his friend Kent came out for the last open water trip of the season. John is no stranger to walleye as he used to guide for the species, but he was ecstatic upon landing this 10-pound, 4-ounce beauty! This was his new personal best! This fish ate… you guessed it, a Jointed Deep Husky Jerk.
Such stunning fish combined with wonderful company made for an incredible season! I'm even more anxious for spring after putting all these images all in one place. Thanks to all that joined us during the fall and I look forward to the upcoming open water season!
In the meantime, I've been hitting the hardwater and have more posts and some exciting news coming real soon!

Review: The Wandering Chef
Hayley Inch April 21, 2020 Reviews
"I look at diverse people. I see them and I like them all. Then I start making food for them."
Im Jiho is a celebrity chef in South Korea who is celebrated for making tasty, healthy food out of what other haute cuisine chefs would turn up their noses at. His cooking is based on his encyclopedic knowledge of foods that can be foraged in wild forests, along seashores, even on the verges on the side of the road in a country village. While Im has a famous restaurant that serves up haute cuisine interpretations of his knowledge, he is equally adept at making simple, homespun dishes that draw on regional techniques.
Though some of Im's pronouncements about the various medicinal properties of the plants and herbs that he gleans may strike some as smacking of pseudo-science, it's clear from the reception that his food receives from diners that it wows tastebuds and has entirely changed some people's relationships to food. He is clearly a household name for a reason, and The Wandering Chef aims to bring viewers into a more personal understanding of Im's drives and inspirations – and they transpire to be more familial and painful than you may have anticipated.
Director Park Hye-ryoung has established a long career in documentaries for television, including a long-running series focused on Im of the same name as the film's title. Her familiarity with her subject imbues this film with a sense of comfort that simultaneously skates over some of the nuances in Im's story for those who may be unfamiliar with him, which provokes some frustrating moments in the film's early stages. But this intimacy provides the film's climax and latter half with some serious gravitas as the narrative pivots from a simple story of a famous chef into something more moving and contemplative.
Central to the film are the friendships that Im strikes up with people he meets along his foraging travels, especially the elderly. Chef Im seems to take a real interest in elder people, not just in their knowledge of food but in their company. One particular friendship is with Soon-gyu, an older woman who lives in a rural village with her husband, and whose first interaction with Im is to offer a bowl of soup. Intrigued by her homestyle cooking, the chef returns both to cook for Soon-gyu and her friends and family, and to learn from her perspectives on cooking and life.
What Im collects for his dishes often looks unprepossessing – much of which appear, at first glance, to be literal weeds. But it's clear that nourishing food can be concocted out of what he finds. There's a charming sequence where Soon-gyu discovers Chef Im plucking moss off rocks, and she radiates suspicious skepticism at his attempting to make anything edible out of "stone's clothes". Yet she is bowled over when Im brings her a bowl of moss soup and it turns out to be delicious. Im himself glows radiant at her cheekily reluctant admission that perhaps he was right, the praise visibly affecting him.
The first half of the film ambles along pleasantly, with Chef Im visiting his elderly friends, cooking for them, listening to stories and asking advice from them. The mood turns, however, when a tragedy befalls one of his beloved senior ladies, and in mourning Im decides to undertake a gargantuan cooking feat in order to express the depth of his grief. It becomes clear that through this act Im is not just memorialising his friend, but all the maternal figures in his life who have gone before.
If you are looking for an airy exploration of a celebrity chef's cooking ethos, this is not the film to deliver something so rudimentary. This is less the story of a chef than an exploration of our emotional relationships to food, and how food is so often used as an extension of our feelings for friends, family, and those others that we love. Food can serve as a means to express and attempt to process emotions as engulfing and indescribable as love, and grief. Im began his cooking career in memory of someone important to him – it seems fitting that this film winds up documenting his efforts at memorialising those who affected him most via food.
While it's filmmaking style is simple, the emotions carried by The Wandering Chef build up accumulative weight. What begins as a fluffy culinary hagiography slowly morphs into a serious and raw reflection on the cyclical nature of life and grief, living with regrets and attempting to express that which cannot be easily summed up in words. When Im finally surveys the dishes upon dishes that make up his enormous mourning offering, the chef seems deflated – even this great achievement does little to ameliorate his overwhelming sorrow. The person this banquet is for is absent, and their space in the world cannot be filled by even the fanciest or technically arduous of dishes. Skill can bring fame and respect, but as the The Wandering Chef proves even the simplest bowl of soup can be life-changing if it is made, offered and received with love.

Exposure to Traffic Noise Linked to Higher Dementia Risk
FeaturedNeurologyNeuroscience
· September 9, 2021
Summary: Exposure to high levels of road and rail traffic noise over long periods of time is associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Source: BMJ
Exposure to noise from traffic on roads and railways over a long period is associated with a higher risk of developing dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease, suggests a study from Denmark published in The BMJ today.
The researchers estimate that as many as 1,216 out of the 8,475 cases of dementia registered in Denmark in 2017 could be attributed to these noise exposures, indicating a great potential for dementia prevention through reduction in traffic related noise.
Worldwide, the number of people with dementia is expected to exceed 130 million by 2050, making it a costly and growing global health crisis. Besides well established risk factors, such as cardiovascular diseases and unhealthy lifestyle, environmental exposures may also play a role in the development of dementia.
Transportation noise is considered the second worst environmental risk factor for public health in Europe after air pollution, and around a fifth of the European population is exposed to transportation noise above the recommended level of 55 dB (decibels).
Studies have consistently linked transportation noise to various diseases and health conditions, such as coronary heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. There is, however, little research on transportation noise and dementia and findings are inconsistent.
To address this, researchers investigated the association between long term residential exposure to road traffic and railway noise and risk of dementia among two million adults aged over 60 and living in Denmark between 2004 and 2017.
The researchers estimated road traffic and railway noise at the most and least exposed sides (or façades) of all residential addresses in Denmark.
They then analysed national health registers to identify cases of all-cause dementia and different types of dementia (Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and Parkinson's disease related dementia) over an average of 8.5 years.
They found 103,500 new cases of dementia during the study period.
After taking account of potentially influential factors related to residents and their neighborhoods, the researchers found that a 10-year average exposure to road traffic and railway noise at the most and least exposed sides of buildings was associated with a higher risk of all-cause dementia.
These associations showed a general pattern of higher risk with higher noise exposure, but with a leveling off or even small declines in risk at higher noise levels.
Further analysis by type of dementia showed both road traffic and railway noise were associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease – up to 27% higher for exposure to road traffic noise of 55 dB and up to 24% higher for exposure to railway noise of 50 dB compared with less than 40 dB.
However, only road traffic noise was associated with an increased risk of vascular dementia, and not railway noise.
Possible explanations for an effect of noise on health include release of stress hormones and sleep disturbance, leading to a type of coronary artery disease, changes in the immune system and inflammation – all of which are seen as early events in the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
This is an observational study so can't establish cause, and the authors point to some limitations such as a lack of information about lifestyle habits, which can play a part in a person's risk of developing dementia, and a lack of information on factors such as sound insulation in homes that might affect personal exposure to noise.
However, the study's strengths included its large size, long follow-up time, and high quality assessment of noise exposure from two different transportation sources.
As such, the authors conclude: "If these findings are confirmed in future studies, they might have a large effect on the estimation of the burden of disease and healthcare costs attributed to transportation noise. Expanding our knowledge on the harmful effects of noise on health is essential for setting priorities and implementing effective policies and public health strategies focused on the prevention and control of diseases, including dementia."

This large and comprehensive study has substantial strengths, but does not present the full picture of possible harm to the aging brain associated with long term exposure to noise, for example from airports, industrial activities, or occupational exposure, say US researchers in a linked editorial.
Noise might also affect the risk of other chronic disorders such as high blood pressure, through which noise contributes indirectly to dementia risk, they add.
The widespread and substantial exposures to noise worldwide, the severity of associated health consequences, and the limited tools available for people to protect themselves, strongly support the WHO's argument that "noise pollution is not only an environmental nuisance but also a threat to public health," they write.
"Reducing noise through transportation and land use programs or building codes should become a public health priority," they conclude.

To investigate the association between long term residential exposure to road traffic and railway noise and risk of incident dementia.
Nationwide prospective register based cohort study.
Denmark.
1 938 994 adults aged ≥60 years living in Denmark between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2017.
Incident cases of all cause dementia and dementia subtypes (Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and Parkinson's disease related dementia), identified from national hospital and prescription registries.
The study population included 103 500 participants with incident dementia, and of those, 31 219 received a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, 8664 of vascular dementia, and 2192 of Parkinson's disease related dementia. Using Cox regression models, 10 year mean exposure to road traffic and railway noise at the most (Ldenmax) and least (Ldenmin) exposed façades of buildings were associated with a higher risk of all cause dementia. These associations showed a general pattern of higher hazard ratios with higher noise exposure, but with a levelling off or even small declines in risk at higher noise levels. In subtype analyses, both road traffic noise and railway noise were associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, with hazard ratios of 1.16 (95% confidence interval 1.11 to 1.22) for road Ldenmax ≥65 dB compared with <45 dB, 1.27 (1.22 to 1.34) for road Ldenmin ≥55 dB compared with <40 dB, 1.16 (1.10 to 1.23) for railway Ldenmax ≥60 dB compared with <40 dB, and 1.24 (1.17 to 1.30) for railway Ldenmin ≥50 dB compared with <40 dB. Road traffic, but not railway, noise was associated with an increased risk of vascular dementia. Results indicated associations between road traffic Ldenmin and Parkinson's disease related dementia.
This nationwide cohort study found transportation noise to be associated with a higher risk of all cause dementia and dementia subtypes, especially Alzheimer's disease.
