UN initiative strengthens drought monitoring and early warning in Asia-Pacific
UN, 1 July 2014 – Although drought is a "silent killer" in Asia and the Pacific, access to scientific information and knowledge remain a challenge for many countries in the region, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) said today at a milestone forum on drought monitoring and early warning.
"Over the past three decades, it is estimated that droughts in the region have affected more than 1.3 billion people and caused damages of over $53 billion," Shamika Sirimanne, Director of ESCAP's Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Division, said today in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Gazprom to sign monumental gas deal with China
Russia and China are set to sign a long-awaited 30-year gas contract during a two-day meeting, when Russian President Vladimir Putin visits Shanghai on May 20-21.
Gazprom, Russia's largest natural gas producer, and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) are set to sign a gas deal that will send 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year eastward to China's burgeoning economy, starting in 2018.
The timing is almost flawless as Russia is looking to shield itself from Western sanctions by pivoting towards Asia, and China desperately needs to switch from dirty coal to more environmentally friendly natural gas.

More than 40 countries sign declaration on fighting with illegal trade in wildlife
LONDON, February 14, (ITAR-TASS/. Officials from 46 countries, including Russia, on Thursday signed an intergovernmental declaration on fighting with illegal trade in wildlife.
The Russian delegation to the conference at Lancaster House where the declaration was signed was led by Natural Resources Minister Vladimir Kirillov.
The document outlines the practical steps towards curbing the illegal trade in wild animals and wildlife artifacts, including rhino horns and elephant tusks. It envisions amendments in the national legislations of signatory countries that will toughen the punishment for poachers, step up cross-border coordination and improve information exchange.

Norway overtakes Russia as Europe's biggest gas supplier
Russia lost its position as the main supplier of gas to EU last year as Gazprom exports fell by 10% knocked down by coal and high prices.
High gas prices in the EU coupled with cheap coal from the US, have made coal a more attractive fuel for power stations, according a new energy report from BP. On average, generating power in Europe is 45% cheaper with coal than with gas, BP chief economist Christof Rühl explains in the report. That's why Europe did not compete for liquid natural gas (LNG) and its imports to Europe fell by 25%. EU imports from Gazprom also dropped by 10%, as Russia's gas prices are tied to oil prices and therefore remained high, BP's economist said. Norway's gas pricing is not pegged to oil and are therefore lower. Imports from Norway rose 12%, and 2012 became the first year when Norway sold more gas to the EU than Russia, Rühl said.

Data center HVAC is never more important than it is during the hot summer season. The performance of a data center is correlated to its consistent, efficient operation. According to a study conducted by the Ponemon Institute, sponsored by Emerson Network Power, weather is one of the most common causes of data center outages, with outages costing more than $9,000 per minute on average.
The effect of data center outages is felt particularly strong in the financial services industry, who tend to lose the most money in the event of an outage. Data center HVAC is vitally important, especially during the summer.
What Challenges Does Summer Present to Data Center HVAC?
Summer presents unique challenges to data center HVAC when compared to the other seasons of the year. Basically, the most direct problem, is that it increases the risk of permanent damage or lost data in a data center.
In the winter, if a computer room air conditioning (CRAC) unit fails, the performance of back up chillers or air conditioners isn't as critical because of the cold weather. If an HVAC system failure occurs in the summer, the race is on to get all systems back up and running before any damage occurs to the servers.
One of the most effective ways to protect data centers from the summer weather is to schedule routine, preventative maintenance from an experience commercial HVAC contractor. Regular maintenance keeps all HVAC systems running at peak performance and fixes potential problems before they arise and cause a system failure.
Further, ensuring the commercial HVAC contractor you choose has the ability to provide rapid responses to HVAC emergencies is just as important. An HVAC system could still go down even with preventative maintenance. Finding a timely resolution to data center HVAC problems minimizes the risk and damage from the failure.
Data centers can be effectively protected against the hot summer weather in a number of ways but hiring an experienced commercial HVAC contractor that can perform preventative maintenance and emergency repair is one of the best.
Data center HVAC is never more important than it is during the summer. With mission-critical data and thousands of dollars on the line, data center HVAC should be a priority for you this summer.
Donnelly Mechanical has decades of expertise performing data center HVAC maintenance and emergency repair. Trust our technical expertise and long track record of success for your data center HVAC.


Did a referee swear on the air yesterday in Indianapolis?
It was not a great day for referees yesterday and it was signified by Tony Corrente discussing something with a fellow referee and using profanity while his mic was hot. Let's go to the videotape.
I will say this, Kevin Harlan's response was hilarious.

Arno River
The Arno River is a river in Tuscany, Italy. It is 150 miles long, flowing south through the Northern Apennines mountains to Arezzo, at which point it flows northwest. The valley of the Arno River is comprised of fertile land, though its northern valley is prized for its scenery. Because the Arno River flooded in 1966, many of Florence's great artistic treasured were damaged.
Como is a city in Lombardy in northern Italy. It borders Lake Como on its southwestern shores. One of Como's most notable exports is silk, though it also manufactures clothing, paper, chemicals, and fabricated metals. Como was founded as a Roman colony, and was an independent commune until it came under Milan's rule. Following Milan's rule, Como was controlled by Spanish and Austrian forces until being liberated by Garibaldi in 1859. Its population is ~78,680. Like Milan, one of Como's most notable architectural features is a marble cathedral.
Milan, or Milano in Italian and Mediolanum in Latin, is a city in Lombardy in northern Italy. Milan is at the center of the Po river basin, and intersects with many important trade routes. Of all cities in Italy, Milan's per capita income is the highest; Milan's main exports include textiles (silk in particular), chemicals, motor vehicles, and rubber goods. Its population in 2001 was ~1,256,211. It is the second-largest city in Italy after Rome; Milan was conquered by the Romans in 222 BC. From 305 BC until 402 BC, Milan was the Western Roman Empire's capital. Milan is home to several famous art museums, a striking white marble cathedral, and the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which contains the famous fresco The Last Supper...
Pisa is a city in Tuscany (northern Italy) along the Arno River. It is approximately six miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea, though the city once bordered the sea. Pisa functions as a commercial and industrial center, and its main exports include transportation equipment, glass, pharmaceuticals, and food. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, Pisa was a strong maritime republic, but it was defeated by the Genoese at sea in the battle of Meloria in 1284. Its population is ~89,694. Pisa ultimately fell to Florence in 1406. Nicola Pisano founded a sculpture school in Pisa. Within the city, there are several architectural feats of note: the Romanesque cathedral, Bonnano Pisano's bronze panels at the duomo di Pisa, and the marble Leaning Tower of Pisa (which is 180 feet high).
Florence, in Italian Firenze, is a city in Tuscany, Italy. It is within the Firenze province, on the banks of the Arno River and at the base of the Apennine mountain range. Because of the city's wealth, Florence grew into a gathering place of artists, intellectuals and authors toward the end of the 13th century. Florence was the political capital of Italy for five years, from 1865 until 1870, but it remained the established center for arts, intellectual pursuit, and literature far beyond its tenure as political capital of Italy. Sometimes, the city is referred to as "the jewel of the Italian Renaissance." At present, Florence is still a thriving cultural center, highly dependent on tourism, though its manufacturing industry also thrives; and many tourists visit for the sake of viewing cultural artifacts. As of 2001, its population was ~356,118.
Bellagio, also known as Bellaggio or "the Pearl of Lake Como", is a village located in Lombardy, Italy. It is within the Como province, and it is on the shores of Lake Como, dividing the lake into its two "arms". The village is a popular vacation site, featuring many villas, many gardens, and a Romanesque church that was built during the 12th century. The village also has an artisanal olive wood-carving industry. As of 1991, its population was ~3,012.
Elba is an Italian island in the Tuscan Archipelago, within the Tyrrhenian Sea. The island is located in Tuscany, and occupies 86 square miles of land. It is six miles from the Italian mainland. Its main export is iron ore, though it also exports wine, olive oil, and fruit. The island has been under the rule of various countries, such as Syracuse, Pisa, Spain, and Naples, but is currently within the jurisdiction of Tuscany. The island is 21 miles southeast of Capraia.
Capraia, also known as Capraja (and Capraria in ancient times), is an Italian island in the Tuscan Archipelago, which falls within the Tyrrhenian Sea. The island is a part of the Livorno province, and boasts only 7.5 square miles of land. As of 1872, 2.5 miles, or one-third, of that land is a dedicated agricultural penal colony. The island is 21 miles northwest of Elba. As of 1991, its population was 267.

Civita Vecchia
Civita Vecchia, also known as Civitavecchia, is a Roman province located in Latium, Italy (on the coast, northwest of Rome). The city is about 37 miles from Rome's center, and its population is presently ~50,032. It is on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and its harbor is still the primary port used in Rome. It mostly exports metals and chemicals.

Why is allene chiral?
An allene with two different substituents on each of the two carbon atoms will be chiral because there will no longer be any mirror planes.
What is a center of chirality?
Chiral Center, chiral atom, chirality center, or center of chirality is a tetrahedral atom in a molecule bearing four different ligands, with lone pairs, if any, treated as ligands. If a chiral center is a carbon atom, it can also be called an asymmetric carbon atom.
Do diastereomers have 2 chiral centers?
Diastereomers are stereoisomers with two or more chiral centers that are not enantiomers. Diastereomers have different physical properties (melting points, boiling points, and densities). Depending on the reaction mechanism, diastereomers can produce different stereochemical products.
How do you identify chirality?
Test 1: Draw the mirror image of the molecule and see if the two molecules are the same or different. If they are different, then the molecule is chiral. If they are the same, then it is not chiral.
How do you determine allene chirality?
Examine both "ends" of the allene. If either of those ends is attached to two identical substituents, it is achiral – because it will have a mirror plane. If neither of the ends are attached to two identical substituents, then it is chiral.
Do diastereomers need chirality?
Diastereomers are always chiral, and always different from one another. Note that diasteriomers occur in pairs, and each has two chiral centers. In the original classic diasteriomer, the chirality of one of them would be ( for example ) " R, S ", and the other would be " R, R ".
What is the specific rotation of BINOL enantiomers?
1,1′-Bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) is an organic compound that is often used as a ligand for transition-metal catalysed asymmetric synthesis. BINOL has axial chirality and the two enantiomers can be readily separated and are stable toward racemisation. The specific rotation of the two enantiomers is ±35.5° ( c = 1 in THF ).
How is the optically active BINOL of naphthol obtained?
The mechanism involves complexation of iron (III) into the hydroxyl, followed by a radical coupling reaction of the naphthol rings initiated by iron (III) reducing into iron (II). Optically active BINOL can also be obtained from racemic BINOL by optical resolution.
What is the volumetric mass density of BINOL?
BINOL is a precursor for another chiral ligand called BINAP. The volumetric mass density of the two enantiomers is 0.62 g cm −3. The organic synthesis of BINOL is not a challenge as such but the preparation of the individual enantiomers is.
How is racemic BINOL produced from naphthol rings?
Racemic BINOL can also be produced using iron (III) chloride as an oxidant. The mechanism involves complexation of iron (III) into the hydroxyl, followed by a radical coupling reaction of the naphthol rings initiated by iron (III) reducing into iron (II). Optically active BINOL can also be obtained from racemic BINOL by optical resolution.

When we think about refugee children's health, we tend to assume bad news. But refugee children are highly resilient. This means they can thrive, mature and develop despite poor circumstances, and can adapt despite severe and long-term hardship.
Our newly published research is the first of its kind to track the long-term health of newly arrived refugee children in Australia.
We showed which children tend to do well in the community, and the factors that predict this. We also give evidence for what Australia can do to help all refugee children thrive in the longer term.
Who are these refugee children and their families?
Between May 2009 and April 2013, a total of 228 refugee children under 15 years, who were granted refugee status under Australia's humanitarian program, arrived in our study area. We followed 61 of these children for three years. None of them had been detained for any length of time, as they had been granted refugee status overseas and flown to Australia.
The children were on average six years old, with equal numbers of boys and girls. They came from south-east Asia (46%), Africa (33%) and the eastern Mediterranean (21%) regions (as defined by the World Health Organisation).
When they arrived, 30% of children were living in a family with one parent absent (almost always the father).
Many parents had high levels of education (20% had university or trade qualifications) and had been employed before coming to Australia; only 6% had no education and 20% reported unemployment in their home countries.
What physical and mental health issues did we see?
We checked the children's physical health when they arrived and their development and social-emotional well-being over the next two and three years after settling in Australia.
Refugee children have well known physical, mental and developmental health issues, and our research supported this.
Iron and vitamin D deficiency were the most common conditions we saw. Only a few children had infectious conditions needing treatment.
After two and three years in Australia, most parents said their child had good access to primary health care and visited their GP every one to four months. About half the children had visited a dentist.
About a quarter of young children had developmental delay (mostly delayed speech and language) at the start, but all had caught up by their third year in Australia.
However, children's social and emotional wellbeing was most strikingly affected by their refugee experiences. After two years of being in Australia, over 20% of children were experiencing emotional symptoms (such as sadness or fear) and/or peer problems (like difficulties making friends).
But by year three, these problems had decreased to below 10%, no different to the general Australian population, illustrating their resilience.
Which children do well and not so well?
Many studies have highlighted factors that make it more likely for refugee children to have poor health and well-being. These include economic and social conditions related to where people come from and where they settle.
We cannot change certain factors before children arrive, like pre-migration violence. But we can change factors once they're here. In fact, research suggests post-arrival factors have a bigger impact than pre-arrival factors on refugee well-being.
Post-arrival factors that lead to poor outcomes include: time in immigration detention, exposure to violence post-migration, family separation, poor mental health of carers, negative school and peer experiences, perceived discrimination, parental unemployment, fall in socio-economic status and financial stress.
The most common stressful life events children and families experienced in our study were changes in the child's school and home, parental unemployment, marital separation and financial stress.
For instance, single parent families became more common (38%) three years after settlement, largely due to marital breakdown; almost all families were receiving government financial benefits and living in rented accommodation two and three years after settling; half of the families had a weekly income under A$800, about 30% below the average weekly income in Australia; and unemployment was high (by year three, only 12% of parents were employed, mainly in semi-skilled and unskilled jobs).
Refugee children with stable accommodation tend to do better than those forced to move home multiple times.
Researchers have also identified factors linked with better outcomes and resilience, and that increase the chance of good health and well-being.
These include living close to the family's own ethnic community and having external support from the general community.
In our study, most families (more than 80%) knew someone in Australia before immigrating and felt supported by either their own ethnic (more than 73%) or the general community (more than 63%). Most parents said Australians displayed tolerance towards people of other religions, cultures and nationalities (more than 78%), although several volunteered anecdotes of their perception of discrimination related to property rental.
What can we do to make a lasting difference?
By addressing the factors that predict poor health and enhancing those that predict a good outcome, we can make a significant difference to refugee children's lives.
reduce post-migration exposure to violence and threat, including detention, racism and bullying.
If these recommendations are implemented, it is very likely refugee children can realise the resilience they bring with them to Australia.

UCI's Plastic Surgery Resident Students Share Their Experiences on Their Road to Becoming a Plastic Surgeon
By: STEM Writer
Instagram: @uciplasticsurgeryresidency
UCI's School of Medicine (SOM) has a renowned, highly-rated Department of Plastic Surgery that places an emphasis on novel methods of replacing damaged tissue. In this department, there are several resident students who have begun or are nearing the end of their academic journey in plastics. Two resident students, PGY-2 resident Eric Hines and PGY-3 resident Omotayo Arowojolu, sought to share their experiences with aspiring undergraduate students on the road to becoming plastic surgeons.
Second year resident student Hines, who received his M.D. from the University of Arizona College of Medicine, shed light on his inspiration behind joining the medical field.
"During college, I didn't even know I wanted to be a physician. It wasn't until I suffered a few hockey-related injuries that I began my pursuit of medicine. Starting medical school, I was open to all the medical specialties and wanted to learn as much as possible. My advice is there is no right or wrong way to get into medicine. Everyone has a different path and background," Hines said.
After discovering his interests in medicine, Hines learned that he would love to become a plastic surgeon; he stands proud of this decision today.
"In my opinion, plastic surgery is the most rewarding specialty in medicine. You are fortunate enough to help people regain function while applying principles to give them the aesthetically best outcome. You have the opportunity to work with patients of all ages and genders. The possibilities are endless since we operate on the entire body, head-to-toe. It is the one specialty I found that is a true art form. Innovation is also a central principle. This is what sets plastic surgery apart," Hines said.
While the road to pursuing medicine was tedious, Hines does not regret it.
"The journey has been challenging yet rewarding. To be successful, you need to have a desire to get better every day, even when you want to take a break or quit. Don't let failure stop you. I failed so many times in my life. You learn from failure, not from being perfect. It's what you do after you fail that matters. If you can reflect on what went wrong and critically analyze your mistakes, you will grow exponentially and be successful," Hines said.
Third year resident student Arowojolu, who received her M.D. and Ph.D. from New York University, shared similar yet different experiences.
"I decided to do plastic surgery late into medical school and did not have the experience that comes with getting early exposure to the field. I will say that as soon as you know that you are interested in plastic surgery, get involved right away," Arowojolu said. "I began reading PRS Journal articles, watched plastic surgery educational videos and reached out to the plastic surgery residents immediately to ask about projects and events to join."
Hines and Arowojolu felt that their acceptance into this residency program has diversified their skills as aspiring surgeons and provided them with the tools necessary to grow as individuals.
"I was lucky to match into the specialty and even luckier to join the UCI Department of Plastic Surgery," Hines said. "The program has diverse faculty from various training backgrounds. We receive excellent exposure to the multitude of specialties within plastic surgery and the best aesthetic experience in the country. The affiliation with the Center for Tissue Engineering where innovative research is being performed is an added value."
Arowojolu shares similar thoughts.
"The diversity of cases, the emphasis on combining aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, and the location in OC/SoCal which has the highest density of plastic surgeons to learn from sets UCI's Department of Plastic Surgery apart from the rest," Arowojolu said. "In addition, there are numerous opportunities for translational research through our Center for Tissue Engineering and innovation through Beall Applied Innovation. Lastly, but most importantly, my family of co-residents and faculty are always supporting and encouraging me to succeed."

About Last Night…THE VOICE and 'Crisis on Infinite Earths'
Batwoman — "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two" — Image Number: BWN108b_0224.jpg — Pictured: Brandon Routh as Superman — Photo: Katie Yu/The CW — © 2019 The CW Network, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
Let's talk about Monday night's TV!
THE VOICE: I really hate that they cut half of the contestants before the finale. If they've done their job correctly—and there is really only one artist who I'll be livid if they make it through, so I think that counts as them doing things right—it would mean even going from 6 to 4 would be bad. But 8 to 4? Very deserving people are totally going to be cut.
Ricky Duran was the big surprise of the night for me. I don't know if I could name any of his prior performances off the top of my head, but his "Let it Be" was great.
"Crisis on Infinite Earths": I loved so much about this hour! Man, I missed LEGENDS OF TOMORROW, and (surprise return) Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell bantering was delightful. And Mick having to take care of a baby? Amazing.
Also, I was irrationally happy to see Brandon Routh don the Superman suit again. He was a great Superman and deserved more.
Tom Welling's return into to a Super world was also great, though unexpected. While it makes sensed, in hindsight, I didn't guess that his Clark wouldn't have powers. But, man, him fighting Lex was hilarious.
The Oliver thing…well, it feels like a very, very bad idea.

Richmond, VA's grindcore royalty, PIG DESTROYER, are getting ready to unleash their latest rage bomb on the world. The album's called Book Burner and it's out October 23rd via Relapse Records. If you aren't psyched about this then you probably listen to bad music or are a false metal poser.
There's still a month to go before the public can get it's grubby mitts on this sweet baby, but BBC Radio 1 just aired a track from the album. It's titled "The Underground Man", and it's approximately 30 seconds of screaming, angry bile. So pretty much what you'd expect from PD. Here's a link to the radio show that aired it. You can click the song title to hear a snippet or skip ahead to the 1:18:00 mark to hear the whole song.

Sophia Besondy
I express life through an uncertain combination of colors, curves, and lines that blend into something unique and mysterious — like life itself.
"Melted Ice Cream" and "Uplifted"
My acrylic and colored pencil paintings express life as a marvelous fractal of God's creation. My art represents this view of life. At first glance each piece seems random, meaningless, and even chaotic. But as each piece is fully experienced it takes on shape, a meaning, an emotion, an idea, a life.
I serendipitously discovered a love for painting one summer during college. Unfortunately, I wouldn't touch a paintbrush again for over 40 years. Encouraged by my husband after I retired in 2015, I started painting again.

Sue Kemp
I see paintings everywhere I look and strive to interpret in my own unique way, in watercolor. I find myself looking beyond what we take for granted in everyday life, as I capture the richness of color and texture or the graceful lines or strong patterns, which others may not notice. I look for harmony and rhythm and a sense of balance, which is important to all aspects of life.
"Baile Flamenco" and "Moonlight Cruise"
I am a Watercolor Instructor at The Contemporary Austin, Art School faculty at Laguna Gloria, and have taught at UT Informal classes - Wildflower watercolors at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, D*Lux Travel as Lead Instructor.

Eileen Pestorius
I seek a loose style and exciting color, with some departures from reality. I like a painting, even a quiet one, to show vigor, enthusiasm, and joy of creation.
"Wandering Near Ephesus" and "Duck Duck Goose"
Eileen Pestorius is a long time artist, active in several art groups locally. She was an adjunct professor at ACC and is docent emerita at UT's Blanton Art Gallery. She works in watercolor or oil and has taken fun groups to France and Italy to paint.
She teaches when corvid's not involved and welcomes commissions. She has a bachelor's degree in English from Nazareth College and a Master's in Art Education from UT Austin.

Rhea G Pettit
A consistent thread through her works is the concept that we are connected to each other, to other species, and to the natural world. She often paints dual portraits, combining two people, or people and other animals.
"Photobooming Modigliani" and "Photobooming Mucha"
Rhea Pettit majored in fine art at the University of Texas, but ultimately switched to a more "practical" degree in graphic design. For 25 years she was a professional graphic designer, doing a few paintings here and there as time permitted. Since 2013, Pettit has diligently devoted time to practice fine art and grow as a painter. She's taken numerous workshops, including those with David Shevlino, Jennifer Balkan, and Karen Offutt. She continues her education with at least one workshop a year, because she feels more information is essential to growth.
In June 2016, Pettit transitioned to painting and her preferred medium is oil, and favorite subjects are people and animals. Her style is realism, sometimes loose and painterly, sometimes more tightly rendered. Part of her practice is painting from life regularly, because it improves her skills in observation.
She has shown at galleries in Austin, NYC, Georgetown, Dallas, Round Rock, Taylor, Waco, and Conroe group shows, and had a solo show in Georgetown in 2018. Her work has sold locally, nationally, and internationally.

Paula Robertson-Rose
Being a professor of English at Austin Community College, I do not have an academic training in art, but I grew up in a family of artists (father, grandmother, and a relative whose first name I share) in a house whose walls were covered with paintings. There were even a few on the doors.
"Solana Sunset" and "Bahamas Beach"
I specialize in watercolor and particularly enjoy painting travel scenes, boats, reflections, food, and flowers. I studied drawing and painting at the Art School at Laguna Gloria and have had small group lessons with Eileen Pestorius. I have been on a number of art trips to France and Italy. I paint on a weekly basis with the 620 Group and participate in frequent critiques.
As suggested by the poet William Wordsworth, one can recollect moments in tranquility. One can then stretch out these moments while painting a scene. I might rush around on a trip, but I paint my memories slowly, all the more to enjoy them.
Many of my paintings are set in France and Italy with colorful buildings and lavender fields of that region that appeal to the artist in me.

GET-IT stands for the Glossary of Evaluation Terms for Informed Treatment choices.
The aim of this glossary is to facilitate informed choices about treatments by promoting consistent use of plain language and providing plain language explanations of terms that people might need to understand if they wish to assess claims about treatments.
The glossary is specifically intended to be useful to people without a research background, particularly those wanting to make an informed choice about a treatment, communicating research evidence to the general public, or teaching others about how to assess claims made about treatments.
Collaboration: GET-IT is being developed as a collaboration between three international projects (see Who we are) with over 20 partner organsations. It aims to promote accurate and understandable definitions and explanations, reducing unnecessary redundancy and promoting consistent use of language. Others can use GET-IT to adapt definitions and explanations for specific targeted audiences.

Management of paediatric mandibular condylar fractures with screw-based semi-rigid intermaxillary fixation
This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of screw-based semi-rigid intermaxillary fixation (IMF) combined with a specially designed occlusal splint in the conservative treatment of paediatric mandibular condylar fractures. Thirteen paediatric patients with 20 sides of condylar fractures treated with semi-rigid IMF were analyzed retrospectively. Semi-rigid IMF was achieved by inserting self-drilling IMF screws into the anterior alveolar bone of the maxilla and mandible suspended with elastic bands. An occlusal splint with a molar fulcrum was used for functional repositioning of the condylar fragment. After 4 weeks, the screws and occlusal splint were removed. During a mean period of 28.6 months' follow-up, the patients' maximal mouth opening increased to a mean of 37.69 mm. Clinical and radiological examinations revealed satisfactory results in facial symmetry and condylar remodelling. No clinical symptoms or radiographic evidence showed dental injuries associated with screw insertion. This study suggests that this method might be a safe, easy, and effective management of paediatric condylar fractures.
The management of mandibular condylar fractures in children is different from that in adults because of mandible growth and mixed dentition . Conservative/functional treatment is recommended as the first choice for paediatric condylar fracture, because of the high capacity for fracture remodelling .
Badly managed paediatric mandibular condylar fractures may lead to severe complications, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, facial asymmetry, TMJ disorders (TMDs), malocclusion, and chronic facial pain .
Temporary intermaxillary fixation (IMF) is widely used for the functional treatment of paediatric mandibular condylar fractures. The IMF is applied for a short period followed by guiding elastic , which is used to guide the mandible into central occlusion . The most common methods are arch bars and eyelet wires . These techniques are associated with some intrinsic disadvantages: poor patient tolerability; length of time required ; difficult removal; damage to the teeth and the periodontal tissues ; possibility of needlestick injuries and diseases transmission . Oral hygiene is difficult to maintain , which may exacerbate the prevalence of dental caries.
Other methods, such as orthodontic brackets and vacuum-formed splint, use the teeth as the anchors to apply IMF . Clinically it is difficult to apply these methods to paediatric patients because of the nature of the mixed dentition, including absence of teeth, unstable deciduous teeth, and the unfavourable shapes of the teeth for bonding with orthodontic brackets or vacuum-formed splints. The orthodontic elastic traction applied to the teeth might lead to teeth extrusion and occlusal disturbance. To overcome these problems, a screw-based semi-rigid IMF with an occlusal splint was employed for functional treatment of condylar fractures in children. The clinical and radiological results were analyzed retrospectively.
Paediatric patients (age < 12 years) with isolated displaced/dislocated condylar fractures (S piessl & S chroll classification , type II, III, IV, V and VI) were involved in this research. Patients with a restricted preoperative mouth opening less than 15 mm were excluded because of the difficulty in obtaining an occlusal impression.
From 2005 to 2008, 13 patients (11 boys, 2 girls) with 20 condylar fractures were treated in the authors' hospital. The parents of the children had given informed consent. The mean age of the patients was 6.85 years (range 3.5–11 years). Six of them suffered unilateral condylar fracture and the others were bilateral cases. Preoperative panoramic radiographs and spiral computed tomography (CT) or cone-beam CT (CBCT; New Tom VG, Italy; scan parameters: slice thickness 0.24 mm, scan time 5.4 s, 110 kV, 15 mA) was performed on each patient to classify the fractures. Ten patients had type VI condylar fracture and the others had type III and type V fractures. Patient data is given in Table 1 .

Fractures were classified according to S piessl & S chroll . Type I: fracture without displacement. Type II: low fracture with displacement. Type III: high fracture with displacement. Type IV: low fracture with dislocation. Type V: high fracture with dislocation. Type VI: intracapsular fracture.
IMF was achieved by self-drilling cortical bone screws. The titanium screws (Zhongbang Titanium Biomaterials Corporation, Xi'an, P.R. China) were 2 mm in diameter and either 9 mm (for upper jaw) or 11 mm (for lower jaw) in total length. The 9 mm screw has a 5 mm thread length and the 11 mm screw a 7 mm thread length ( Fig. 1 A ).

In practice each screw was usually inserted transmucosally between the canine (deciduous or permanent) and the first pre-molar or deciduous first molar in all four quadrants ( Fig. 2 A ). The screws were inserted manually into the alveolar bone at the junction of the attached and unattached gingivae under general anaesthesia. To avoid potential damage to the adjacent dental roots or germs, preoperative radiographs were analyzed carefully before screw insertion.
(A) Panoramic image of screw insertion (arrows) of patient no. 3. A left condylar head fracture was presented (circle). (B) Panoramic radiograph performed at 41 month follow-up. Arrows indicated the site of insertion of the previous screws. A normal anatomical relationship of the left joint was presented (circle).
A specially designed vacuum-formed occlusal splint was used for functional repositioning of the displaced condylar fragment. A 3 mm thick molar fulcrum for the splint was formed with self-curing acrylic resin at the fractured side ( Fig. 1 B). In bilateral cases, both sides of the splint were thickened equally. The splint was fitted to the upper arch and the screws were suspended with elastic bands to achieve semi-rigid IMF on the second day after screw insertion ( Fig. 1 C).
The semi-rigid IMF was routinely kept in place for 4 weeks. Patients were able to eat a soft diet. Postoperative antibiotics were administered for 3 days. The patients were advised to gargle after meals to maintain oral health throughout the treatment period. If screw loosening occurred, the screw was re-inserted.
After 4 weeks, the splint and screws were removed. The patients were asked to practice active mouth-opening exercises. Follow-up examinations were carried out including routine physical and radiographic examinations at 3, 6, 12, 24 months, and more. The maximal mouth opening (MMO) was measured. Symptoms of TMDs were checked including joint pain, clicking, and deviation of the mandible. A deviation of 3 mm or more of the mandibular midline during opening was considered aberrant . The malocclusion was assessed as unacceptable clinical function.
The method for evaluating facial symmetry described by T horen et al. was applied. A difference of 3 mm or more in ramus height amongst unilateral cases or an angulation of 3° or more in mandibular midline related to the facial midline amongst bilateral cases was considered asymmetry, respectively. Remodelling of the condyle was evaluated with CT according to T horen et al.'s classification .
The teeth adjacent to the screws were examined for vitality. The mobility and abnormal eruption of the permanent teeth were tested and the possible root/germ injuries were checked with panoramic radiographs. Other related complications caused by the screws (mucosa coverage, local inflammation) and material failure (screw loosening, breakage) were recorded.
For all statistical analysis, the SPSS software programme (except 'program' in computers) version 14.0 was used and the data were compiled as mean ± standard deviation (SD).

LibData to LibCMS: One library's evolutionary pathway to a content management system
Paul F. Bramscher, John T Butler
Administration (LIB)
Purpose - The University of Minnesota Libraries have developed and implemented LibCMS, an open architecture content management system (CMS) that combines with the previously-built LibData system to meet the web page publishing and site management needs of a large research library. The purpose of this paper is to present overall observations about CMSs and their implementation, and details the requirements and design of LibCMS. Design/methodology/approach - The system's development followed an evolutionary path moving from a modest data repository, to a large system with a three-tiered web page authoring environment, and now to a CMS with site-level management capability. This work leaned on abstract tree structures to manage navigational hierarchy both within and between pages. Methods were developed to represent tree architecture in an RDBMS while economizing traversal and maintenance of nodes. Findings - Developing the CMS locally ensured that design followed the requirements of a large academic library environment and its service/ business model. This also allowed the implementation to be an organic extension of existing authoring tools in the environment rather than the potentially disruptive incorporation of a new system.

After the battle recorded in the previous post, I felt I had unfinished business with Paul and his Russians, so I challenged him to a game the following Saturday club meeting. Vana joined us again with his Austrians, and Ian, returning to the Napoleonic fold, partnered me with his French.
This time Paul had an idea to make the game more of a challenge by adding a string of impassable marshy ponds down the middle of the table, in effect creating 3 avenues for attack. I think he may have come to regret his decision!
Where Ian's and my forces brushed elbows in the centre of the table was one avenue, which I left mainly to Ian. On my left flank was another between a marsh and a village. The woods and fields to the right of this village meant any advance from that direction would end up with multiple disorders, so having learnt my lesson from the previous game, I decided that my brigade on that flank would stand on the defensive and protect Ian's left flank. If Paul wanted to attack over all that, he was welcome!
The left flank provided much better options, especially as I'd organised a combined arms advance with an overpowering superiority in artillery. This time I wasn't going to waste my guns and advanced with proper support. The whole force had a protective skirmish screen out in front and a strong second line to either protect the flank or exploit any breakthrough.
Paul seemed focused on the central avenue, where he was aiming his cavalry and his dreaded 12 pounders. Fortunately, he didn't have much of a target as I kept my troops behind the lee of the nearest hill. On the left, I was screened by the village and his own troops for the time being.
Paul occupied the village and moved his infantry into closed column to counter the cavalry threat posed by my Italian dragoons moving around the left flank. All that did was make lip-smacking targets for my artillery. Once I got my skirmish screen out of the way, his infantry suffered the attention of two 8-gun foot batteries and one 6-gun horse battery. Ouch!
In an effort to mitigate the cavalry threat, Paul moved a couple of infantry battalions into the woods to have a flank shot on any forward movement by my cavalry. I have a long history of throwing away my cavalry too early, so I decided patience was a virtue and left them where they were, sheltered on the left by the nearest marshy pond, while bringing up some infantry to potentially deal with the Russian lurkers in the woods at a later stage.
Meanwhile, in the centre, Vana and Ian were having a backwards and forwards, to and fro, hammer and tongs, cavalry and infantry, Clash of the Titans arm wrestle in the extremely restricted central corridor. Ian had set up an anchored line with cavalry support, daring Vana to attack. Vana was forced to go in piecemeal because he couldn't deploy the forces he needed to really apply pressure. Besides some opportunistic clashes, I think their flank was relatively quiet for most of the game.
Paul decided discretion was the better part of valour and began backing off on the flank, unable to withstand the pressure of the artillery. I even managed to get one Russian battalion to retreat after inflicting too many casualties! I could have possibly forced the issue and attacked up that corridor, but with Russian infantry covering the approach on both flanks, I wasn't sold on the idea. Especially when it seemed Paul was switching his attention to the centre. He deployed troops from the village to threaten the flanks of my central infantry brigade, so I began redeploying my reserves and artillery to try and counter this threat. In the meantime, one of the central battalions had to turn to face the threat, thus weakening the line facing the approaching enemy infantry. This made it a target for the 12 pounder battery, which mauled it in typical fashion in some of its only action of the game.
Approaching my central brigade through a ploughed field surrounded by a stone wall was Paul's light infantry brigade. I was relatively confident that they could be contained, because I had uncommitted reserves and was bringing my batteries over to the centre. Even if they could damage my infantry facing them, I Paul didn't have the troops to exploit any breakthrough, whereas I had the infantry to go on the counter attack. I just had to get them in place. He, meanwhile, was advancing through difficult terrain. My right hand columns were in closed column due to the threat posed by some Austrian dragoons, so Paul angled his attack to focus on the right hand light infantry battalion. the whole brigade stood and fired. It wasn't enough to stop the charge, but it did some damage and with the general attached, the right hand column was only forced to retire. The Russians ended up just short of Ian's infantry square and with an exposed flank. Needless to say, in my next turn, the nearest battalion moved up and fired into their flank. With their disorders and an unfavourable die roll, they were soon running for the rear! The other two Jaeger battalions charged directly ahead and met my other battalions in an inconclusive draw, both being forced back off the hill with disorders.
Vana then followed up with a cavalry charge from his small dragoon regiment to dissuade me from following up my success. I'd already formed the column into closed column, so I wasn't too worried, and with supporting fire from Ian's square and my neighbouring column, the charge was repulsed.
By this stage, Paul's infantry had nothing left and, from memory, Vana's had shot its bolt and crashed against Ian's steadfast line.
My French forces boldly stepping off. Will they do better than last game?
Paul's Russians divided between the flank....
...and the centre.
His 12 pounder battery spent most of the game pivoting left and right behind the village, only unlimering and firing a couple of times all game. Phew!
Ian partnered me with his French, mainly focusing on defending the central corridor.
Vana's Austrians began looking like they'd try going around the flank...
....rather than the centre.
Paul began strongly in closed column to claim the village.
He moved a small force into the woods on the far left flank to dissuade me from trying to move too far forward.
He was worried about my Italian dragoons (as well he should!)
My Legere skirmish line was ineffectual and was going to get in the way of the artillery, anyway.
So they scooted off to allow the guns to have an unimpeded field of fire. The battalion on the left copped it something shocking!.
The skirmishers redeployed to the centre where they acted as the eyes for the battalions hiding from the 12 pounder battery on the reverse slope.
Ian forms up an anchored line in the face of Vana's combined arms advance.
Ian's chasseurs launch an opportunity charge at Vana's infantry in just about the only clash on the right flank all afternoon. That put the brakes on any further Austrian advance and devolved into back and forth artillery volleys.
Ian deploys his dragoons in front of his anchored line in preparation to charge the guns.
Meanwhile, my guns are taking a toll on Paul's closed columns
Paul's infantry in the ploughed field and his cavalry seem more interested in what's going on with the Austrians. My infantry are still keeping their heads down as Paul's artillery dither.
My dragoons weigh up the odds.
Infantry come up in support, possibly to clear out the woods on the flank to allow the cavalry a free hand.
Ian charges the guns!
While the horse guns limber and flee, the nearest infantry is extremely lucky and forms square in the nick of time!
Vana's cavalry then charge Ian's blown and disordered dragoons...
...who are forced to withdraw!
I was severely tempted to push on around the left flank...
...but things started to develop in the centre! My left hand battalion had to turn to face the threat to its flank, while the rest of the brigade face the infantry and cavalry threat to the front.
My guns limber and redeploy to the centre.
The crisis point of the game is reached! Ian's infantry is faced by Paul's cavalry and a remnant of Vana's infantry. My columns on the hill are facing a massed formation of Jaegers.
The Jaegers charge my light infantry in closed column, who can't bear the
the nearest two battalions have been forced off the hill, perfectly positioned to get into the flank of Paul's isolated columns!
After changing into closed column, my nearest battalion then pivots and fires into the Russians' flank!
They vacate the area forthwith (indicated by the white die on the hill).
My artillery has now deployed at close range to pound the nearest Russkis, while fresh reserves approach.
Still trying to keep the pressure up on the left flank, but the Russian infantry just keeps backpedalling!
Vana's last roll of the dice: his cavalry charges in, but accurate defensive fire stops the charge in its tracks!

Sounds like a corker of a game, and as always, looks great!

Another action-packed game Ben. It got really tight 'in the clinches' towards the end.
Bet you were a bit happier with the casualties that the artillery doled out this time?!

Great report Ben,
Always tough to take on Russians, my French always falter and I always throw away my cavalry also, I do however remember the victories fondly!
All the best for your projects and Plans in 2020

A Tale of Two Battles - Part the First


Rankings go by a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the best. Please note that Confidence Level is double-weighted, because that's clearly the most important measure.
This is probably the most professional-looking dress I've made, but fitting it was a doozy! I ended up having to take it in quite a bit on the side and back panel seams. Then there was the issue of the spandex-sateen fabric stretching out A LOT over the course of the day and night, so much so that my strapless bra made several appearances on the dance floor. I take full blame for lining the bodice pieces with power mesh—I'm assuming the lack of structure contributed to the droopiness.
I felt great in this dress for a few good hours, and will totally wear this again on an evening that doesn't require me to be up and about or wildly dancing for upwards of eight hours.
This was one of my first forays into sewing slippery knits, and the fabric nearly killed me. But it's a fun project to look back on to see how far my sewing skills have come, as evidenced by the same dress made a year later.
The dress held up pretty well for the whole night, but damn was it clingy and unfriendly to carb and booze bloat! That said, this was the first wedding guest dress I ever made, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
I made this gold metallic shell for a New Year's Eve party in Madison a couple years ago and figured it was a good option for a veering-into-holiday-season wedding. Because I'd already made a couple of Inari's, construction was a piece of cake. I wore a RTW black knit slip underneath, and my main issues were 1. the slip is the same length as the front of the dress, which rode up at times, and 2. my stubborn bra straps are clearly visible. It's not the dress's fault that I forgot a strapless bra, but I have to ding confidence points nevertheless!
I clearly liked my accessories, as I wore the exact same outfit for two weddings within a month of each other. The fabric is super stretchy and comfy, but it's also pretty shiny—something that you might see in the activewear section. I had a few moments of paranoia that I looked like a figure skater sans skates.
The Delphi Dress is meant to be a maxi, but I effing hate maxi dresses! The length works OK here, but the proportions are just a little off. Nitpicking aside, I've worn this dress multiple times and really like it.
Anyone else think this Rifle Paper Company rayon is the perfect fabric? As you can see, a few yards found a home in my closet as an Anna Dress. The front facing flips out a little during wear, but that's my only complaint. A+ twirling, dancing, sitting, talking, laughing, eating dress.
P.S. I actually blogged about this one if you care to read more!
"Uhhhhm, do I look like I'm going to the disco?!" I asked Marc several times after making this jumpsuit. I even asked the bride if it was OK to wear a jumpsuit to her wedding, I was so freaked out it wasn't appropriate. I'm glad to say those apprehensions went away the minute I put the whole look together: red pumps, beaded belt, delicate gold chain, Morris blazer (for the ceremony), and some sparkly purple eyeshadow.
I loved wearing this despite the many, many dumb mistakes I made (not the pattern's fault)* during the sewing process. To name a few: I cut the legs out on the wrong grain OOPS, I initially sewed the bodice on backwards D'OH, and I forgot to cut extra length to accommodate my height and heels and had to add panels at the bottom UGH.
Mistakes aside, I love this jumpsuit. It was a blast to dance in all night, and I even managed to use the bathroom without dunking the back straps in the toilet. WIN! This grainy photo doesn't do the fabric justice. It's an emerald sparkle bomb. But… a classy one. I think?
That's it for now, but I'm sure there are many more weddings in my future. Do you have any go-to party dress patterns?
What a marvelous idea to rate ease of assembly and the comfort level, confidence too. Nothing worse to spend time on a garment and then not wear it due to discomfort. I love this post, and all the outfits look fabulous!
This is the post Gotham needed, not the one it deserves. Because you are too nice to us. Basically HOORAY FOREVER. I have so much trouble getting dressed for weddings and lots of weddings to get dressed for this year, and I've been doing stuff like Googling "formal overalls" in a confused stupor, and this is helping me calm and focus (…on jumpsuits). That Sallie situation is so good.
