HOBART, Sir HENRY (d. 1625), chief justice of the common pleas, of a family long settled in Norfolk and Suffolk, was great-grandson of Sir James Hobart [q. v.], attorney-general to Henry VII, and son of Thomas Hobart of Plumstead, Norfolk, by Audrey, daughter of William Hare of Beeston, Norfolk. He was admitted a member of Lincoln's Inn 10 Aug. 1575, and called to the bar 24 June 1584; he became a governor of the inn in 1591, and Lent reader in 1601 and 1603 (Black Book, v. 199, 359). He represented St. Ives, Cornwall, in parliament in 1588 and 1589, Yarmouth in 1597 and 1601, and Norwich from 1604 to 1610 (Members of Parliament, Official Returns, i. 422, 434, 439, 444). In 1595 he was steward of Norwich. In February 1603 with ten others he was made a serjeant-at-law, and was knighted on the accession of James I. On 2 Nov. 1605 he received a release from his office of serjeant-at-law, and next day was granted the attorney-generalship of the court of wards and liveries for life. He became attorney-general 4 July 1606, and continued in that office, barring Bacon's way to promotion, for seven years, to Bacon's intense annoyance. He was also chancellor to Henry, prince of Wales. He appeared for the plaintiffs in the case of the Post-nati (State Trials, ii. 609), and conducted the proceedings against Dr. Cowell's 'Interpreter' (Parl. Hist. ii. 1124). In May 1611 he was created a baronet. In 1613 he appeared against James Whitelocke, when Whitelocke was summoned before the council for contempt in giving an opinion on the navy commission. On the death of Sir Thomas Fleming, Coke was removed from the chief justiceship of the common pleas to that of the king's bench, and Hobart was appointed chief justice of the common pleas, 26 Nov. 1613. In 1617 he became chancellor and keeper of the great seal to Charles, prince of Wales, in succession to Bacon, and accordingly on 29 March he was discharged from so much of his oath of office as chief justice as prevented him from taking any fees except from the king. The Lord-chancellor Egerton being then ill, he, with Bacon and the Bishop of Winchester, was considered a possible successor (Green, Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1617). This was again the case on Bacon's disgrace in 1621 (Hacket, Bishop Williams, p. 201).
Hobart protested against the outrageous sentence which Coke proposed to inflict on the Earl of Suffolk in 1619, and carried the majority of the court with him. In November 1619 a petition of the justices of Norfolk against permitting the import of foreign grain until the price of corn, then much depressed by too plentiful harvests, should have risen again, was referred to him and the chief justice of the king's bench, and they advised that the petition should be granted. He was judge of assize in Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, and Warwickshire in the spring of 1620, and made inquiries of the various justices about the necessity of providing local magazines for the storage of corn, receiving adverse replies in every case. On 5 June 1624 he was appointed a commissioner to mediate with the creditors of poor prisoners for debt owing less than 200l. in and near London, except those in the King's Bench and Fleet prisons, who had been otherwise provided for. In September of that year he was joined as a law-assessor with the privy council in committee upon the Amboyna business. His patent was renewed on Charles's accession, but he died at his house at Blickling in Norfolk, 26 Dec. 1625. He was a very modest and learned lawyer, and as a judge escaped the charge of subserviency to the crown. He was 'a great loss to the public weal,' says Spelman; and Croke (Reports, temp. Car. 28) calls him 'a most learned, prudent, grave, and religious judge.' Bacon, however, accuses him of falsely affecting intimacy with great persons (Bacon, Life and Letters, Ellis and Spedding, iv. 93).
A volume of Hobart's reports was published in quarto in 1641, and subsequent editions appeared in 1650, 1671, 1678, and 1724.
Hobart married Dorothy, daughter of Sir Robert Bell of Beaupré Hall, Norfolk, lord chief baron under Elizabeth, by whom he had sixteen children, twelve sons and four daughters. From him descended John Hobart, first earl of Buckinghamshire [q. v.]
A portrait of Hobart in his judge's robes, by C. Jansen, is in the possession of Viscount Powerscourt (Cat. Tudor Exhibition, 1890, p. 110). Another, either by Mytens or Van Somer, was presented by Serjeants' Inn in 1877 to the National Portrait Gallery.

Positive Comments: This is a top notch version of Marvin Gaye's song! Your arrangement and instrumentation keeps this song alive and fresh! The vocals are clear and on point. Chopped up the pre chorus nicely! Great mix on the instruments as well! Drums and sax parts are holding it down without any by-products! This song is what's going on! great job!
Constructive Comments: There is not one thing I could possibly suggest to improve this song. Every aspect of instrumentation, arrangement and production are excellent, so I rated it accordingly. Yet, it is a challenge to type in a 5 star constructive comment on what feel is an excellent song. Keep up the good works, B# and you will C!


Because the difference between Romero and Bellenger is under a half-percentage point, a mandatory recount will be held Wednesday.
Johnston, a contractor and former two-term city commissioner, soared over the other candidates in a race she has spent $80,000 on so far.
"It's going to be a really good race — an issue-oriented race and a really good race for the city of Key West," Johnston said after the results came in. Her take was 3,077 votes.
This is Romero's fourth try for the mayor's office. The retired IBM executive consultant and only Key West native in this year's race won public office in 2015 for the first time when she captured an open city commissioner seat — the one formerly held by Johnston, who stepped down after two terms.
Bellenger, who owns Key West Eco Tours, raised nearly $30,000 and spent about $18,000 on the race, his first major political bid. He won 1,310 votes.
That turned out to be impossible Tuesday, with seven campaigns splitting the votes.
Randy Becker came in fourth with 417 votes. Bill Foley came in fifth with 55 votes, while Sloan Bashinsky got 50 and Carie Noda secured 48. Both had run for mayor before but this was Foley's political debut.
Two city commission races were settled Tuesday.
Attorney Gregory Davila defeated Jenn Stefanacci Doll with 79 percent of the vote for the District 4 seat, which came open with the retirement of former judge Richard Payne, who endorsed Davila.
The District 5 race winner was Mary Lou Hoover with 65 percent of the vote over Key West native Wally Moore. That seat became vacant when Margaret Romero decided to run for mayor.
City commissioners serve four-year terms and earn an annual salary of $20,000.
In the race for Key West Utility Board, seat D, Robert Barrios and Beth Ramsay-Vickrey will meet in a runoff Nov. 6. Barrios took 39 percent while Ramsay-Vickrey took 25.51. Walter Drabinski took 23 percent.
In the seat A race, the incumbent since 2004 , Mona Clark, easily beat Jim Marquardt, 59 to 41.
Utility board members earn $20,683 per year and get paid health insurance as long as they remain on the board.

L'an de grâce est une expression utilisée pour qualifier la manière de compter les années de l'ère chrétienne au même titre que l'an de l'incarnation ou l'an de la rédemption ; ces expressions revêtent un caractère précis du fait de leur utilisation dans les documents officiels (chartes, actes du pouvoir civil ou religieux, registres de notaires, ...).

Origine et signification de l'expression

Selon le pays, selon l'époque ou selon le style des historiens, l'année de l'ère chrétienne pouvait commencer à Noël, à l'Annonciation, à Pâques ou encore le premier janvier.
Communément, l'expression l'an de grâce est employée pour désigner une année débutant à Noël, le  alors que "an de l'incarnation" désigne une année débutant à l'Annonciation, le .
Jusqu'à la définition du premier janvier comme date fixe et commune de changement d'année, le  par Charles IX pour la France, la question se pose donc sur l'identification du millésime selon notre référentiel actuel. À compter de 1564, l'utilisation de ces expressions deviennent donc obsolète et leur usage s'il persiste ne témoigne que d'un effet de style.

"An de la Rédemption" fait référence à une année débutant à Pâques. Cette expression a été moins usitée du fait de la mobilité de la date de Pâques rendant ainsi fluctuante la longueur de l'année.

L'absence d'utilisation de ces expressions dans un texte ancien, les erreurs des scribes, la difficulté d'identification de la juridiction dont dépendait ce document rendent souvent aujourd'hui difficile l'identification du millésime par les historiens.

An de Notre-Seigneur ou anno Domini est tout simplement utilisée pour insister sur le fait qu'il s'agit de l'ère chrétienne.

Notes

Swimming at the 2016 Summer Paralympics


MANY have tried, but none have succeeded. Who'd have thought the Saab 9000 Turbo would be such a tricky act to follow?
It's a curious (and not particularly lucrative) corner of the car market to capture; the people who are in the market for a tarmac-snorting, junior-sized sports saloon that ISN'T a BMW, AMG-tweaked Mercedes of hotted-up Audi. This particularly elusive species of motorist is after something with just enough cachet to cut it outside a nearby golf club (so that's virtually every fast Ford and sporty Vauxhall out), and is hung up enough about long-term reliability to give anything made by Alfa Romeo a wide berth. Not entirely fairly, I've always reckoned.
Just think about all those cars over the years that have offered a 9000 Turbo-esque premise but never really taken off (no jet fighter puns intended). The Lexus IS-F, MG ZT260, Mazda6 MPS, Volvo S60R, Chrysler 300C, Volkswagen Passat W8, for instance. For all their leather seats, ample equipment levels and muted growls from their exhausts none have ever really managed to convincingly win over the anything-but-a-blummin'-BMW brigade. In fact you could argue that Saab itself never nailed it either, given the Swedes ran out of cash five years ago.
But that isn't going to stop Kia giving it their best shot anyway. Their new BMW-baiter arrives here in January and it's already onto a winner because it has a cool name; it might not be posh and German, but you can at least tell your mates that you drive a Stinger. Which it makes it sound like an American muscle car.
It also picks up the Saab's old trick of using turbos to rustle up the sort of mid-range thump that comes in handy on a motorway's outside lane; in the range-topping 3.3-litre V6 there are two of them, and they send 365bhp to the rear wheels. The upshot is that you'll end up surging to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and onto a top speed of 168mph. Yes, I know that's academic when you can only legally do 70mph, but when you bear in mind that sports saloon ownership is basically a better funded version of Top Trumps for grown-ups the big Kia comes across quite well.
For the same sort of money as a BMW 340i you can have a four-door saloon that's bigger, better equipped, quicker and more powerful – and it's styled by the same bloke who did the original Audi TT, just for good measure.

Shin Song-mo or Shin Sung-mo (, October 20, 1891 – May 29, 1960) was an acting prime minister in 1950 following the first prime minister of South Korea, Lee Beom-seok. He served as a Defence Minister during the Korean War.

Biography

Early life
In 1891, he was born in Uiryeong, Gyeongsang-do, Joseon (now Uiryeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea), as the son of Jae rok Lee. In 1907, he entered the night class at the Department of Law at Bosung College, and graduated from Boseong Law College in 1910 (4 years in Yonghee). In August 1910, he fled to Vladivostok and joined into the anti-Japanese independence movement under the guidance of Shin Chae-ho and his hometown leader, Ahn Hee-je.

From 1930, he became the captain of a regular ferry to and from London and India. When the Korean Liberation Army was established in September 1940, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea made a special appointment to him as a military commissioner. During World War II, it was known in Korea that he was surviving around May 1948 after giving up his return and taking office as an adviser to an Indian merchant ship company.

Political activity
He returned to Korea in 1948. On December 19, 1949, he was invited to the Supreme Council of the Korean Youth. After that, he served as the head of the Korea Youth Team and advisory committee of the Ministry of Transportation, in 1949 he served as the second Minister of Home Affairs (). On March 21, 1949 he became the second Minister of Defense () a position he held until 5 May 1951. Syngman Rhee preferred a person who speaks English well and Shin was said to be fluent in English while studying in London.

Upon returning, he is given the title Admiral. At the time, he served as the captain of a British merchant ship, advisor and director of an Indian merchant ship, but received military training in China and was adjutant to the Chinese Navy Admiral Sal Jinbing, the Korean Provisional Government's Korean Liberation Army Being a member of the military was recognized for his career, he was given the rank of lieutenant general of the Navy, and he was called Admiral Holy Mother.

On July 17, 1949, while as Minister of National Defense, he said, "The military is waiting for orders from the President, and with orders, it can completely take over Pyongyang or Wonsan within a day." When the remarks became a problem, he explained that his remarks were misunderstood, but in early September of that year, he insisted, "I just wait for the time to come and I'm ready to push."

As Lee Beom-seok resigned from his post as Prime Minister, Shin was inaugurated as acting Prime Minister on April 21, 1950, and worked until November 22.

Korean War

The Korean War broke out and in the beginning of the war, at the State Council meeting held at 4:00AM on June 27, 1950, Shin Song-mo who was Minister of Defense said that he had no knowledge of the situation.

He was a member of the Provisional Government Military Committee, but unlike Lee Beom-seok, Ji Cheong-cheon, Kim Hong-il and others, he had no experience in direct combat with the army as he was engaged in maritime vessel-related work, communication-related, and interpretation-related work before the repatriation. As a member of the State Council of the Republic of Korea, he showed a completely different attitude from his position to take care of the safety of the people. At the time of the Korean War, he served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Regarding the massacre of the Geochang massacre in 1951, he was criticized by the National Assembly that it was rationalizing the case with Kim Jong-won (), who was then martial arts commander. It was found that some of the gold was used as political funds for Syngman Rhee. At this time, Shin Song-mo resigned as Minister of National Defense while trying to avoid it. In 1951, he worked as the fifth chief executive officer of Japan.

At this time, Chough Pyung-ok who was the Minister of Home Affairs () and the Prime Minister's office disagreed over his appointment as the Japanese public official, and the Democratic National Party's top member, Yun Posun, also objected by mentioning his morality over the National Defense Force and Geochang massacre, but President Syngman Rhee kneels on their backlash and mocked Shin Song-mo Japan Corporation jobs were passed.

After the ceasefire
From November 28, 1956, he served as the Dean of the Maritime University. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage at Uiryeong on May 29, 1960. After being buried in Seonyeong, Yongdeok-myeon, Uiryeong-gun, South Gyeongsang Province, his remains were later transferred to the Daejeon National Cemetery.

Local elections was held in Valenzuela on May 9, 2016 within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the two Congressmen (or district representatives), and the councilors, six in each of the city's two legislative districts.

Incumbent mayor Rexlon Gatchalian of Nationalist People's Coalition won for his second term. Gatchalian's primary opponent is Magtanggol Gunigundo of the Liberal Party, who was on his third term and term limited as representative to the city's second congressional district since 2007.

Mayoral and vice mayoral election
Incumbent mayor Rexlon "Rex" Gatchalian is on his first term as the mayor of Valenzuela. Prior to his election as mayor in 2013, he represented the first district of Valenzuela from 2007 to 2013. The other candidate for the mayoralty race is the incumbent second district representative Magtanggol "Magi" Gunigundo. Gunigundo represented the former lone district of Valenzuela from 1998 to 2001 and the second district of the same city since 2007, which is now on his third term. As prescribed by the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, he is barred from running as the representative and he may choose to run into higher or lower office instead.

There are only two candidates for vice mayor's office: both are members of the city council: first district councilor Marcelino "Mar" Morelos and second district councilor Lorena "Lorie" Natividad-Borja.

Congressional election
The incumbent first district representative Sherwin Gatchalian is running for a Senate position under Grace Poe's coalition, Partido Galing at Puso. The youngest of the Gatchalian brothers, Weslie, who is the incumbent representative of Alay Buhay party-list for the House of Representatives, is running for first district. The other candidate is Ritche Cuadra, who is a former member of the city council and unsuccessfully vied for the same post in 2013. The third candidate is Victor Reponia.

For the second district, incumbent representative Magtanggol Gunigundo is running for mayorship and is barred for running for the same position. His wife, Adelma, is running for the position instead. Adelma previously vied for the position of mayor last 2013 election. The other candidate for second district representative is Eric Martinez, who is a former member of the city council and the incumbent vice mayor since 2007.

Election results
The winners of the congressional, mayor and vice mayor seats of Valenzuela City is determined with the highest number of votes received. These positions are voted separately, so there is a possibility that the winning officials came from the same or different political parties.

Mayoral election
Incumbent Rexlon "Rex" T. Gatchalian ran for reelection.

Vice Mayoral election
Incumbent Eric Martinez did not run for reelection.

Congressional elections

First district
Incumbent Sherwin "Win" Gatchalian ran for the Senate and won. His brother, Weslie ran against former Councilor Ritche Cuadra.

Second district
Incumbent Magtanggol Gunigundo is running for Mayor, His wife, Adelma is running against Vice Mayor Eric Martinez.

City council elections

The voters in the city are set to elect six councilors on the district where they are living, hence registered. Candidates are voted separately so there are chances where winning candidates will have unequal number of votes and may come from different political parties.

It's only been a handful of hours since Danny Boyle was officially announced to have departed from Bond 25, the next entry in the long-running James Bond franchise. Like many others out there, we couldn't help but wonder… "So what now?" Who can we expect the studio to hire next, when can we expect them to announce it, and will it affect the release date of the movie?
Will McQuarrie take the job? Hell, will the studio even offer it to him? It's impossible to say since we have zero idea how long it's been since he's actually been gone, and therefore don't know how long they've been looking, so who knows if this is just the first name they're throwing around or the latest in a list of 10.
What do you think of McQuarrie potentially taking the helm? Let us know down below!

KU study exploring treatment for depression without drugs
'Caveman' plan touts mood boost
Jun 1, 2005 - 12:00am
Dave Ranney
Behave more like a caveman.
That's the advice of a Kansas University professor who thinks he's found a medication-free way to beat depression, a major illness that has afflicted about 20 percent of Americans.
And Steve Ilardi's cure includes mimicking the habits of our hunting and gathering ancestors of 2 million years ago.
"The results have been very encouraging," the KU psychology professor said about his regimen.
Ilardi, 41, argues that depression has become epidemic – "One in five Americans have experienced an episode of major depressive illness," he said – because our brains and bodies aren't designed for our 21st century lifestyles.
"The human brain has been sculpted by 2 million years of life within a hunter-gatherer context. Agriculture has only been around for 10,000 years, and it's only been since World War I that we've become truly toxic," Ilardi said. "We were never designed to be so sedentary, so socially isolated."
Depression, he said, is the evolutionary consequence of a person's brain being out of synch with their social environment.
"There's a mismatch," Ilardi said.
Ilardi has come up with a six-part regimen designed to reconnect depression sufferers with their hunter-gatherer roots – more exercise, more sunlight, more sleep, more fish oil, less isolation and fewer negative thoughts.
He calls his system Therapeutic Lifestyle Change or TLC.
Kansas University psychology graduate students, from left, Jennifer Prohaska, Leslie Karwoski, Andy Lehman, Chris Heath and professor Stephen Ilardi are working on an alternative to drug therapy for treating depression. The program uses aerobic exercise, light therapy and other treatments to combat depression in people who aren't responding to prescription drugs. The group is pictured at the KU Student Recreation Center in this 2005 file photo.
"It's a very active treatment plan," said Leslie Karwoski, a doctoral student who's helping Ilardi. "If you're looking for an easy way out, this isn't it."
The regimen does not include anti-depressants.
"I'm not anti-medication," Ilardi said. "It's just that for a lot of people they don't work – and if they do work, it's short-term. Relapse is a huge issue. So, if you can achieve the superior results long-term without medication, the advantage seems pretty clear."
Promising results
Last semester, Ilardi and Karwoski assembled a group of five adults, all of whom had been diagnosed with severe depression. Some had suffered for at least a year, but all study participants had been depressed at least six months.
The group met about once a week for 15 weeks. Each session lasted between 90 minutes and two hours, during which participants learned about each component of Ilardi's behavior system and figured out how to incorporate them into their lifestyles.
Of the five participants, four "experienced a highly favorable treatment response," Ilardi said, noting that the results beat the 50- to 60-percent response rate for anti-depressants.
Volunteers sought for program
For more information or to apply for participation in Steve Ilardi's depression study group, contact project coordinator Leslie Karwoski, 218-6336 or karwoski@ku.edu.
Applicants must be:
¢ Between ages 18 and 65.
¢ Live within an hour drive of Lawrence.
¢ Committed to attending 12 early evening sessions over a 15-week period.
¢ Meet diagnosis criteria for clinical depression.
Must not be:
¢ Addicted to alcohol or drugs.
¢ Bipolar or manic depressive.
Deadline for applications: June 10
"Exercise was the hardest part for some people," said Jane, a 27-year-old KU student who took part in the first group. "But for some it was the easiest. It depends."
Jane, who asked not to be identified, said the group gave her hope.
"I'd been depressed off and on for like eight or nine years," she said. "It's horrible. I used to sleep all the time – when I wasn't sleeping, I'd wish I was. I was tired all the time. I couldn't stay interested in anything. I wasn't really anti-social, I just didn't want to be bothered. Nothing was fun."
Now, she said, "I'm happy. I just graduated from KU and I'm really looking forward to moving, finding a job and starting my life."
A second group is now in its seventh week.
"It's doing remarkably well," Ilardi said.
Volunteers sought
Ilardi and Karwoski are looking for adults to take part in two more groups, starting later this month.
It's proving to be a popular undertaking. Ilardi said he and Karwoski received 40 inquiries after the project was recently featured in a Kansas Alumni magazine cover story.
Jane said she, too, has been bombarded with questions from family members and friends.
"It makes so much sense," she said. "Everybody wants to know how they can do it."
A second opinion
Still, there are skeptics who say Ilardi may be underselling the benefits of anti-depressant drugs.
"I'm not being critical – everything he's doing is logical and beneficial," said Dr. Stuart Munro, chairman of the psychiatry department at University of Missouri -Kansas City Medical School.
"Exercise is always recommended," he said. "For some, sunlight is beneficial. And more and more, the literature shows that fish oil can be effective for some."
But medication coupled with "talk therapy" has proven effective and should not be dismissed, Munro said.
"It's an arrow I wouldn't leave in the quiver," he said.
Ilardi said he's aware of the concern expressed by Munro.
"I wouldn't disagree," he said. "The approach we're taking could work in tandem with medication, but, again, medications are not as effective as the public assumes they are, the side effects are often intolerable, and for many, relapse occurs as soon as they stop taking them."
Therapeutic Lifestyle Change or TLC is a treatment for depression based on the idea that the human brain is still wired for life in the Stone Age and altering one's lifestyle is better than relying on medications.
The six TLC essentials:
¢ EXERCISE: Aerobic exercise is a potent antidepressant. Elevate your pulse between 120 to 160 beats per minute for 35 minutes three times weekly.
¢ SLEEP: Chronic sleep deprivation puts one at risk for depression; get 7 or 8 hours nightly.
¢ SUNLIGHT: The brain needs 2,500 lux for 30 to 60 minutes per day. Spend a half hour outdoors on a sunny day or in front of a 10,000 lux light when it is overcast.
¢ EAT FISH: 1,000 milligrams daily of Omega-3 type EPA fatty acids has been shown to relieve depression. It is found in highly concentrated fish oil, also in tuna, mackerel, sardines, lake trout and salmon.
¢ SOCIALIZE: Social support helps prevent depression during major losses. Separation from friends and family is a common trigger for depression.
¢ THINK POSITIVE: Don't dwell on repetitive, negative thoughts. Learn to redirect attention to more engaging activities.

For parents working through a divorce, the issue of child custody can be hotly contested and potentially cause strife and turmoil for years to come. Generally, the more contentious the child custody disagreement, the harder it can be to reasonably communicate with the other parent on parenting matters post-divorce.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to retain the services of a lawyer who knows how to help you navigate even the most difficult of child custody or modification matters in a way that saves time and trauma to all people involved?
Call the Law Office of Carol Weinstein Boileau in Methuen, Massachusetts, at 978-691-5666 for caring, capable and effective child custody counsel and advocacy, or send us an email.
Attorney Carol Weinstein Boileau spent 22 years as a regional counsel for Massachusetts in the Department of Welfare and Department of Social Services, litigating child custody and guardianship matters, and trained other lawyers to do the same. She stays abreast of emerging issues and trends in family law, and has proven herself before the courts to be capable and trustworthy. She can help you achieve your goals, while minimizing the impact on any involved child.
The most important thing that Carol Weinstein Boileau takes into consideration is that every child is different and each child's needs are different, including those children with special needs. If you and your child's biological parent cannot agree on a parenting plan, the matter will go to court. However, at that point, you will have less control over the outcome of your child custody or modification matter.
Attorney Carol Weinstein Boileau has a demonstrated ability to resolve difficult custody and parenting plan issues. She knows how to approach complex child custody matters, which experts to involve, and when. Finally, she knows how to present compelling cases to the opposing side and in front of judges with whom she has presented and prepared rational arguments for decades. These are all factors that work for her clients' benefit.

Well, here we go. I said earlier I'd give Bobby Jindal enough rope to hang himself with, and he's started right out of the gate paying out line. You know, you'd think that if your entire campaign message was based around "Ethics Reform" you'd at least get settled comfortably in office and make a few speeches before the sludge started seeping out of your shoes. Apparently though, there's a lot of sludge to be had.
While running for governor, Jindal accepted $118,000 from the state Republican party and then "forgot" to disclose that money on his campaign finance filings. Later on, when he was caught, his staff vowed to simply pay the maximum $2500 fine that may have resulted from an investigation in the interest of "moving on" (that's a direct quote). Now, the Louisiana State Ethics Board has a little bit to say about that. No, you may not simply pay the maximum fine and avoid an investigation. Everyone, yes EVERYONE, must follow the rules - try THAT for ethics. Jindal's office is not happy, because the Ethics Board says an investigation will take months.
Now, what makes me wonder is - why does this bother Jindal? If you are such an ethical person, simply respect the rule of law, allow the investigation to run it's course, and hold a press conference at the end to make sure everyone knows you were found innocent of everything except a little boo boo in the accounting department. Or....what? What are you afraid of? That maybe the investigation will find something else?
Note to the new governor: You're starting to look like a hypocrite already.


Companies want consumers to become aware of their brand. What better place to do this than Facebook? Brands are not always easy to promote if you have a similar product out there that an already popular company is involved with. A marketing firm can definitely help you find a number of great reasons to buy Facebook likes.
People have to be able to make their product stand out, there are so many iPod and iPad apps out there, why not make yours stand out by having the best Facebook page out there that you can find? A person who is launching a new iPad app is someone who can find a fair amount of success if they have a lot of information technology connections and they work hard to find a company to buy Facebook likes from.
IPads are a great thing to look into and someone who wants to adapt to the world of mobile marketing can learn something about how to" Buy Facebook Likes. There are so many people who may wander off topic with their Facebook page and you have to find a way to make sure the content on your Facebook page is relevant and fresh.
Mobile marketing can be vital for a company as they try to increase brand awareness. Merchandise that is targeted to certain age groups can certainly be promoted on Facebook in an extremely credible way. The purchasing of Facebook likes is something that can be done in an extremely broad way, someone who is trying to sell goods and services.
Our techniques are something that will not annoy people that are currently fans of your products and services. These are real Human Likes that we are talking about, this is not something that some people would label as AstroTurf. Brand awareness is something that can be crucial when you are trying to market to certain people.
A lot of elderly retirees may have time on their hands so they want to spend money on wine and going to a number of different wine tours out there. Brand awareness is something that can certainly be addressed in a sensible way as people buy Facebook likes law firm that is trying to compete for clients in a very large and competitive city where they have a lot of attorneys around practicing your type of law are going to have to be very effective when it comes to the world of social media.
A truly successful attorney does want to use a social networking site that truly has the potential to grow, they want to use a social network like Facebook and maybe not something like Friendster that may have run its course in the eyes of many consumers.
People are constantly posting photos on Facebook so it certainly makes sense to increase brand awareness by posting photos of a given product on your Facebook page. A Facebook page can really open the doors for a company that is ready to produce a certain level of stable growth. Brand awareness is something that can certainly be addressed in a sensible way as people buy Facebook likes.


I Samuel 15 tells the story of Saul's downfall, wrapped up in the package of the war against Amalek. The chapter begins by God telling Samuel to instruct Saul to take revenge against the Amalekites for what they did to the children of Israel after they fled Egypt. The instructions are explicit – kill everyone, destroy everything, spare no one and nothing (not even the livestock). But somehow Saul can't manage to get this simple instruction right. His army are not keen to destroy valuable animals and Saul, himself, manages to leave Agag, the king of the Amalekites, well and truly alive.
Already in v. 11, God expresses regret: nichamti, 'I regret that I made Saul king…' Nichamti is from the root nun-chet-mem, which in the niphal (as we have it here) means to regret, be sorry, repent or relent. God is unhappy at the decision taken to anoint Saul king – it is a significant statement. Even Samuel is distressed by this revelation. Perhaps because it was he, Samuel, who did the actual anointing. Perhaps Samuel fears that he, too, will be tarnished with the same brush as Saul, fearing that Saul's inability to follow orders will appear to God as a failure of Samuel's to properly transmit God's message. Whatever the case, for Saul, God's regret becomes an immutable sentence.
For in the following verses, Samuel duly chastises Saul for his failure to follow orders. Saul is, in return, repentant, desperate for a way back to God's love and loyalty. Saul makes a reasonable case that the animals they retained were merely for the people to have something to sacrifice to God to thank God for their victory.
But it seems that thinking for one's self is not what is required – 'Does the Eternal One delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obedience to the Eternal One's command? Surely obedience is better than sacrifice, compliance than the fat of rams.' [I Samuel 15: 22] Because Saul rejects God's direct command, God in turn rejects Saul as king. But given Saul's immediate acknowledgement of wrong doing and repentance, we might have expected God to be forgiving – that is, after all, what we might reasonably presume of a merciful deity.
Yet in v. 29 we are told explicitly that God does not yenacheim (from the same root nun-chet-mem), the Divine mind will not be changed; 'for God is not human that God should l'hinacheim, repent.' In other words, God will not be swayed by Saul's contrition. For Saul there is no forgiveness, no redemption. These verses present a damning condemnation of both the behaviour of Saul and the intractableness of God. They also present Samuel as a prophet in a less than flattering light. Would Abraham have argued on Saul's behalf? Why doesn't Samuel stand up for the man he anointed king? It is true that at the end of this story Samuel mourns for Saul to the point that God finds Samuel's behaviour excessive, but Samuel never stands up to God about the matter.
What is especially peculiar, however, is that in v. 11 God does repent and then in v. 29 the text specifically states that God does not repent – ever; repentance is a human foible. How are we to reconcile this theological conundrum? How can God be guilty of such self-contradiction in the space of a handful of verses? The commentators remain strangely silent.
Here the Targum recognises that something deeply disturbing is happening in the theology of these verses and attempts to soften the message. Saul cannot simply take it all back. Saul has acted and must face the consequences of those actions. And besides, in this 'translation' the Targum insinuates that Saul is not completely repentant. Saul is just worried about his fate and that of his children to retain the kingship. But God, even according to the Targum, is not fickle, like we are. And if Saul is not fully and completely repentant, perhaps it is not so worrying that God does not relent and forgive him. But the biblical story holds no such hint about Saul's motivations.
So what is the answer? How are we to face the certain knowledge that we, too, will sometimes err and, that just possibly, God will not relent? What can we take from this story? That the text of I Samuel and beyond is the story of the Davidic line; that Saul was never meant to be part of our national history? That God is not like we are; God's mind does not change? Where does that leave us? Not even God can help us if we are Saul instead of David?
I only know this: there is no simple answer. God is sometimes merciful and sometimes not in the Hebrew Bible. God is sometimes loving and sometimes violent. God is sometimes friend and sometimes foe. The relationship to our own behaviour is not as simple as the second paragraph of the Shema would make out.
I am, as is too often the case these days, left only with the dawning realisation that God is neither entirely merciful nor wholly consistent. And so, perhaps, in the end, God is far more like we human beings after all than the text of the Hebrew Bible would have us believe. And yet, 'God is not human that God should repent,' it is Samuel who utters these words, not God. Perhaps it is only the messenger who is confused, perhaps hearing the true voice of God is hard, even for a prophet?

Jio IPO likely this year: CLSA
"2022 will see big events led by the 5G spectrum auction and a likely mega initial public offer (IPO)/separate listing of Reliance Jio from RIL, following the 33% pre-IPO stake sales to 13 investors including, 10% to Facebook and 8% to Google in 2020," the global brokerage said in a research note.
Kolkata: Calendar 2022 is likely to see the much awaited listing of Reliance Industries' (RIL's) telecom unit, Jio, an event that could be a potential telecom sector catalyst, CLSA said.
CLSA values Jio's mobile business at $99 billion EV (enterprise value) at 11.5x EV/Ebitda and includes $5 billion EV for JioFiber -- the home broadband business.
It added that "a likely Jio IPO would be a sector valuation catalyst," with the market leader's pre-IPO $20 billion deals valuation itself at 10x EV/Ebitda".
Strong enthusiasm around a potential big-bang Jio IPO comes at a time when the days of fierce price wars in India's debt-laden telecom sector are drawing to a close in the recent aftermath of broad-based prepaid tariff hikes taken by the Big 3 telcos to boost revenues on the back of the recently announced telecom reforms package by the government.
Jio Platforms, Reliance Jio's parent, has already raised over a whopping Rs 1.52 lakh-crore from a clutch of marquee global investors, including Facebook, Google, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, and top private equity players such as Silver Lake, Vista Equity Partners, General Atlantic and KKR amongst others by selling a combined Jio 33% stake. Besides the telecom business, Jio Platforms (JPL) houses RIL's content/apps, digital investments and tech capabilities.
Brokerage CLSA also expects the government to cut mid-band 5G spectrum base prices in 2022, failing which it warned the upcoming spectrum sale won't succeed.
"While 4G spectrum purchases of $11bn in 2021 were due to renewal compulsions, the upcoming 5G auction will succeed only if price is cut from the exorbitant $7bn/100 Mhz for pan-India in 3.3-3.6GHz band," the brokerage said.
Mukesh Ambani's Jio plans its biggest bond in debt market return
The company is seeking commitments Tuesday for as much as 50 billion rupees ($671 million) of notes maturing in five years at a coupon of 6.20%, according to people familiar with the matter. Jio last tapped the local-currency bond market in July 2018, and is planning to use the proceeds from the current proposed deal to refinance financial liabilities.
It added that "a cut in 5G spectrum prices and successful auctions" would open doors to new sector opportunities.
Late last month, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) kicked off the process of setting reserve prices of 10 spectrum bands earmarked by the government for 5G services. These include the coveted 600 Mhz and the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands, proposed to be auctioned around April-May this year.
The telecom industry has repeatedly sought lower base pricing for 5G spectrum. And the sector regulator has conceded that spectrum unsold amounts to spectrum wasted, and accordingly, has invited views on whether a methodology followed elsewhere globally should be used to value 5G airwaves.

The Amazing Earls Court Exhibition Centre and the company that wants to destroy it
Posted on 2014/08/13	by herbertwright
Earls Court Exhibition Hall
Exit Earls Court station at the Warwick Road, and an unfeasibly large frontage opposite gently curves across your field of vision. Of course, this is the main entrance of Earls Court Exhibition Centre. It has welcomed somewhere between 1.5 and 2.5 million people annually for decades. No other venue anywhere, ever, has accumulated anything like the diverse history it has for musical performance, popular domestic exhibitions, military display, and political showcasing. It has hosted some of the twentieth century's greatest individuals. And what's more, it's unique architecture is the work of one of America's most accomplished inter-war architects.
A developer called Capco (full name Capital & Counties, operating through EC Properties, a vehicle valued at £934 million in 2013) wants it totally obliterated for luxury housing. London does need homes badly, but schemes like this are about attracting foreign slush money. It's insane.
Earls Court Exhibition Centre is worth saving. Here's why:
The Biggest Big Time of All
On 11th July 1961, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered Earls Court exhibition hall with a bouquet of flowers, and seduced the British public. All the papers were there, and the crowds were massive- it was almost like a foretaste of how Beatlemania gripped Britain two years later! Just three months before, Gagarin had sat in the tin can of Vostok 1 and became the first human in space. He had a lot more room at the main hall of Earls Court Exhibition Centre- it was the largest enclosed space in London.
The Soviet Exhibition 1968 (source EC&O Venue Libraries)
The Soviets were back with showcase propoganda exhibitions in 1968 and 1979, but without the magic of Gagarin. Nevertheless, many other charismatic celebrities drew fans to Earls Court. Muhammad Ali defended his world heavyweight title against Brian London there in 1966. In 1981, Vivienne Westwood staged her first catwalk there (and the models wore cutting edge consumer tech: Sony Walkmans). Not everyone who commanded crowds at Earls Court was a hero. Oswald Mosley held a rally of British Fascists here in 1939.
An amazing roll-call of music's mega-names have staged some of the greatest gigs ever at Earls Court: Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Pink Floyd, George Michael, Radiohead, Madonna, deadmau5, the Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire… there's many more!
And of course, there have been the exhibitions. With a capacity up to 20,000, Earls Court has been the place to have it large since 1937, when it opened with the Chocolate and Confectionary Show. The Motor Show, Boat Show, Great British Beer Festival, and BRIT Awards have all been regular annual Earls Court events. The Royal Tournament returned to Earls Court as the British Military Tournament, and the Ideal Home Show ran right up to this year, 2014.
Astonishing Architecture
Almost finished! Earls Court Exhibition Hall plus sheds, 1937
Leveque Tower, Columbus, Ohio: also C Howard Crane
Earls Court's architect was C Howard Crane of Detroit, who left a coast-to-coast string of great theatres across the US (and with others, he worked on New York's Radio City Music Hall). For Columbus, Ohio, he designed the magnificent 169m-tall Leveque Tower (1927), the tallest Art Deco skyscraper between New York and Chicago. He moved to London in 1930 and the masterpieces kept coming. His Gaumont (now Odeon) Holloway Road (1938) is listed. Crane's style spanned from Beaux-Arts Neo-classical to Modernist. Earls Court Exhibition Hall is his most stripped-back, clean-finished design, and his largest.
C Howard Crane (source HistoricDetroit.org)
The architectural style is sometimes called Art Moderne, related to Art Deco but stripped of jazzy design elements and stressing the horizontal rather than vertical. Even so, Earls Court's five vertical window strips, which climb the curving sweep of a grooved façade, echo window strips in American skyscrapers like the Empire State Building and Rockerfeller Centre.
The vital heroic activities of Earls Court
Above them, five heroic square reliefs, by sculptor David Evans, depict such vital fields as Clockwork, Music, Jousting, Sports and Horticulture, in red and white. The red neon letters EARLS COURT may be the biggest in the UK, and certainly rank with CENTRE POINT's white neon in size and iconic status.
Transport for London map honours Earls Court with a cool isometric schematic
A miracle of concrete and steel engineering, Earls Court Exhibition Centre was built over London Underground's District Line in just two years. Steel trusses reach 87m clear across the auditorium. The roof, pitched like a humungous white tent, looks like the work of giants.
A heroic, humungous form
In many ways it was. This whole structure is simply heroic.
Time to Stop Capco
Staggeringly, the local authority, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, is completely oblivious to the heritage of Earls Court. Like the developers Capco, they want no trace of Earls Court Exhibition Centre left.
This has been about the history of Earls Court Exhibition Hall, but the issue is also about the local people and businesses. Capco's plans demonstrate contempt for the local heritage, people, and businesses of Earls Court. Maybe we can stop Capco and save Earls Court's estimated £1 billion of annual business for London. There's a small window of opportunity because the adjacent borough, Hammersmith and Fulham, have thrown out Capco's wider plan which extends westwards. On 27th August 2014 demolition applications are considered.

Hammersmith person says:
Load of nonsense. The Council Tax payers of Hammersmith and Fulam will greatly benefit from this development. It's about time the estate residents though about this rather than selfishly always thinking about themselves!
herbertwright says:
This comment is typical of the uncaring constituency who are destroying London.
'Hammersmith person' (no name given, I note): you rather give the game away when you identify your own concern as a Council Tax payer. Actually, so am I, but I care about a lot more than my Council Tax bill.
Specifically, the heritage of Earls Court, the business it generates for the area, and the residents affected.
Yes, I touch briefly on the estate residents on the H&F in my blog as well- how extraordinary that you of all people accuse them of only thinking for themselves. Perhaps you want them socially cleansed by setting 'affordable rents' that are impossible to pay for most working people?
Terry Farrel's masterplan has many good aspects but it is simply wrong to pay the price of losing this fantastic asset and is being used as a vehicle to exploit the high-end international property buyer at the expense of locals.
Argument and logic are absent in your comment. You have failed to address any of the issues raised, and your attitude is a disgrace. Perhaps that is why you wish to remain anonymous.

Every time I visit London, I like to stay overnight in the Earls Court district, because of the exhibition centre. It will never be the same. It's sad to see a piece of history demolished. I think you English friends have lost a very important place…

Q: Do this series of functions converge uniformly? The series of functions $\{f_n\}$ is given by $$f_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{2^k}{z^k+z^{-k}} \quad \text{for } |z|<\frac{1}{2}.$$
The exercise given to me is to show that $\{f_n\}$ converges uniformly.
My attempt:
\begin{align}
|f_n-f_m|\leq |\sum_{k=m}^{n}\frac{2^k}{z^k+z^{-k}}| \leq\sum_{k=m}^{n}\frac{2^k}{|z^k+z^{-k}|}
\end{align}
Therefore,
\begin{align}
\|f_n-f_m\| \leq \Big\| \sum_{k=m}^{n}\frac{2^k}{|z^k+z^{-k}|} \Big\|.
\end{align}
The sum is biggest for $|z^k+z^{-k}|$ smallest. If we consider the function $g(z)=z^k+z^{-k}$ we see that  it is holomorphic on $D(0,\frac{1}{2})$ except for $z=0$. Thus the maximum has to occur on the boundary. Moreover $|g|$ has a lower bound $=\frac{1}{2^k}+2^k$. However, doing this gets us
\begin{align}
\|f_n-f_m\| \leq  \sum_{k=m}^{n}\frac{2^k}{2^k+2^{-k}} .
\end{align}
which is obviously not Cauchy for $k,m>N$ for sufficiently large $N$.
My Question: Are the series of functions uniformly convergent and if yes can I have a hint as how to approach this?

I recently participated in a Leadership training programme where, in order to successfully complete the programme, we were required to embark on a social impact project aimed at contributing to the society at large.
So my friend and I began brainstorming on what social impact project to embark upon. To make clear, we were doing this, not because we wanted to, but because it was a requirement for the completion of the training programme.
Eventually, we decided to visit a Girls' Remand Home, to talk to the girls on the career paths they could take and the necessary skills to acquire. We also intended to provide them with materials for skills acquisition programme.
We spoke to one of the coordinators at the remand home, settled on a date and time to visit the girls. A day before the visit, we called the coordinators to confirm the date, only to be informed that we needed the approval of the ministry in charge of such matters in Lagos State.
Mehn! were we disappointed. Why didn't she mention these while we were having the initial discussions? We really needed to do something before the next weekend, which was less than a week away, we had no idea what to do. Added to our dilemma was the fact that we were always busy during week days.
Very early in the morning, on a working day, while still trying to keep awake, I received a letter from a young man.
Apparently there was this young janitor in my office that was recently admitted into a College but was having a hard time financing his education. I read the letter and I smiled. It was filled with so much grammatical errors. As a lawyer, I couldn't help but notice, but I got the point – he needed help. I knew he recently got admitted to a college, I just never bothered to ask how he was coping.
The fact that the other project failed forced me to look inward. At this point it was no longer just about fulfilling a requirement but touching and affecting a life. I told my friend about it and we decided to sponsor his education.
Sometimes it is not about the big things or occasion, small events matter.
I am not in any way undermining persons who undertake the big projects, but sometimes, there is someone close to you who needs a little support. You may want to look around to consider who may be in such position. Become someone's solution. Till next time.
Thumbs up! Either planned or unplanned, any project that saves a destiny can also be termed "Big".

Diabetic Control Outcomes Amongst Patients Who Had Bariatric Surgery in a District General Hospital

Bariatric surgery remains the most effective weight loss treatment. It leads to significant and sustained weight loss and improvement in various metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This piece of work aimed to investigate the remission of T2DM amongst patients who had laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomies (LSG). This was achieved by carrying out a retrospective review of prospective data of 82 T2DM diabetic patients who had above bariatric surgery at the University Hospital Ayr from 2010 to 2016. Outcomes were assessed at two years postoperatively and documented. The main outcome measure was based on the achievement of partial or complete remission.
The average age of patients in this study was 49.6±8.1 with 52% female (n=49) and 48% male (=33). Preoperative body mass index (BMI) averaged at 42.6±6.2 kgm2. The majority (n= 43) of cases had a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) while (n=39) had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The average glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was 6.7±1.8 units. Fourteen patients who had diet-controlled diabetes were excluded. Of the patients left (n=68), partial or complete remission was achieved by 73.3% (n =50). Remission rates following RYGB, 87.2% (n=43) were higher than those following LSG (55.2%). Age, duration of diabetes, and HbA1c showed a statistically significant difference amongst both cohorts. No statistically significant difference was seen in BMI both at referral and at surgery between both cohorts of patients.
We concluded that preoperative BMI plays a very limited role in determining which patients go into remission in the short-term postoperative phase.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder in which there is an aberration in the secretion and/or action of insulin [1]. This leads to abnormal carbohydrate metabolism characterized by hyperglycemia. Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with significant microvascular and macrovascular complications [2]. These complications have a great impact on the patient's health and quality of life, and their management poses a significant financial strain on the National Health Service (NHS) [3].
Approximately 415 million people have DM and 193 million have undiagnosed DM worldwide [4]. In the UK, the number of people diagnosed with diabetes has more than doubled in the last two decades. It is now estimated that 6.6% of the population is affected with DM. The number of people diagnosed with DM is now recorded to be 3.7 million, 1.9 million more diagnoses as compared to 1988. A further one-million people are thought to have undiagnosed DM [5]. It is predicted that more than 5million will be living with DM by 2025 in the UK [6].
The major modifiable risk factor of developing mainly DM type II is being overweight or obese. Obesity accounts for 80%-85% of the risk of developing type II DM (T2DM) [7].
With rising trends in the prevalence of diabetes and obesity locally and worldwide, there is an ongoing debate about the most effective way to manage the cohort of patients who are diabetic and obese. Management of chronic hyperglycemia is achieved by a combination of lifestyle and medical and surgical strategies (bariatric surgery) [8]. However, bariatric surgery has been irrefutably shown to lead to superior rates of remission and cure of DM when compared to medical and lifestyle strategies in the short, mid, and long term [9-11].
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are currently the most performed metabolic surgery procedures in diabetic patients worldwide [12]. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD+DS) are both carried out less frequently. The most carried out procedures under the National Health Service (NHS) are LAGB, RYGB, and LSG [13].
This piece of work aims to investigate and document the remission of T2DM amongst patients who had laparoscopic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in a district general hospital. The outcome measures focused on the relevance of age, duration of diabetes, HBA1c, and BMI in predicting remission will be explored.
This involved a retrospective analysis of data from 82 T2DM patients who underwent either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) between 2010 and 2016. All surgeries were carried out at the University Hospital Ayr, Scotland. Data were collected by reviewing the online Microsoft Access (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington) bariatric database and Scottish Care Information (SCI) Diabetes platform (SCI-DC, Scotland) for all patients who underwent bariatric surgery in Ayrshire and Arran. Outcomes were assessed two years post-surgery.
The patients were grouped into two cohorts based on achieving partial/complete remission or not. The modified American Diabetic Association's criteria define remission as achieved HbA1c levels of <5.7% without the ongoing use of pharmacological or surgical therapy for one year. Partial remission was defined as HbA1c levels of 5.7% to 6.5%, again in the absence of any ongoing therapy.
Age, duration, diabetes, glycated hemoglobin (HBA1c) at referral, BMI at surgery, and referral were analyzed in both cohorts. A t-test was used to determine the significance of the data.
Patients with diet-controlled T2DM were excluded.
Data from 82 T2DM patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2010 and 2016 were identified and reviewed. Age, average BMI, and HBA1c are detailed in Figure 1. Of these patients, 14 had diet-controlled diabetes (Figure 1). Forty-three (43) of the 68 cases underwent RYGB and 39 had LSG (Table 1). The average age of patients in this study was 49.6±8.1 years with 52% (n=49) being female and 49% (n=33) male. The average BMI at surgery was 42.6±6.2 kgm2. A majority (58%) had RYGB while 42% had LSG. The average HbA1c at referral to the bariatric services was 6.7±1.8. Partial or complete remission was achieved by 73% (n=50) within two years postoperatively. Ninety-four percent of the 50 patients (n=47) and 6% (n=3) had complete and partial remission respectively. Two out of the three patients who achieved partial remission within two years had an RYGB and the other LSG, respectively.

Remission rates were higher at 2 years post-Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Sixty-eight percent of the patients who went into remission had an RYGB and 32% an LSG. A total of 18 patients amongst whom 72.2% had LSG (n=13) and 27.8% RYGB (n=5) showed no significant improvement still requiring antidiabetic medications two years post-surgery. Of these, two went into remission at six months and restarted pharmacological therapy at 18 months postoperatively.
Comparing both cohorts in terms of age, duration of diabetes, and BMI, as seen in Figure 2, the average age of those who did not go into remission was 52.64±4.4 years, which was higher than 48.8±6.6 of those who went into remission. There was a statistically significant difference in age between both groups (p-value 0.03). A similar observation was noted when looking at the duration of diabetes. As seen in Figure 2B, the duration of diabetes was 5.4±4.5 years and 11.3±3.5 years in the remission and no remission cohort. The HBA1c in the cohort of patients who went into remission was significantly lower (6.3±2.2 units) than those in the cohort who did not go into remission (8.0±0.5) units.
Figure 2: Showing the difference in both cohorts based on achievement of remission
A = Average age = Remission 48.8±6.6 years / No remission 52.6±4.4 years – p-value 0.03
B = Duration of type 2 diabetes millitus = Remission 5.4±4.5 years / No remission 11.3±3.5 – p-value <0.01
C = Average hemoglobin A1c = Remission 6.3±2.2 / No remission 8.0±0.5 – p-value <0.01
D = BMI at Referral = Remission 47.0±7.6 / No remission 46.8 ±8.7 – p-value 0.92
E = BMI at surgery = Remission 42.6±6.6 / No remission 42.4±6.3 – p-value 0.91
All patients with diet-controlled diabetes had normal HBA1c at less than six months postoperatively and this was maintained after two years. Four of these patients had an RYGB and 10 an LSG.
Bariatric surgery remains the most effective weight loss treatment. It leads to significant and sustained weight loss and amelioration of the patient's physiological status. This, in turn, results in cardiovascular, metabolic [14], renal, and psychological benefits [15].
Our results show that complete or partial remission was achieved in up to 73% of diabetic patients who underwent bariatric surgery. This is comparable to the remission rate of 68.8% seen by Pucci et al. in 2018 [16] for both LSG and RYGB at two years postoperatively.
The adapted American Diabetic Associations definition of remission put forward by Ana M Ramous-Levi et al. in 2013, where remission was achieved if HbA1c levels were <5.7% without the ongoing use of pharmacological or surgical therapy for one year. Partial remission was defined as HbA1c levels of 5.7% to 6.5%, again in the absence of any ongoing therapy [17].
Most of the patients who achieved remission had an RYGB (68%), whilst 72.2% of those who did not achieve remission had LSG. This agrees with published data in which RYGB (restrictive and malabsorptive surgery) has higher short-term T2DM remission.
The remission rates of 87.2% seen following RYGB in the short term is similar to that found by Chikinuwo et al. in 2010 (89.9%). Short-term remission rates of 55% following an LSG are also comparable with published data [18]. Milone et al. (2013) also found that 66.7% of patients who underwent LSG went into remission at one year and 87.5% of patients who underwent restrictive and malabsorptive surgery [19].
Furthermore, we observed that those who did not go into remission were older patients and had a longer duration of diabetes (52.64±4.4 years and 11.3±3.5 years, respectively). Some have argued that both parameters are similar, as older patients turn to have a longer length of diagnosis [18].
There was also a statistically significant difference in the HbA1c at referral between both cohorts (6.3±2.2 units and 8.0±0.5 units). This may suggest that patients who went into remission probably had relatively better glycemic control preoperatively as compared to those who did not.
Interestingly, BMI was found to play a very limited role in determining those who went into remission in the short term. There was no statistical significance in BMI both at referral to the bariatric service and BMI at surgery, as seen in Figure 2D-2E. This raises the question of the use of BMI as a pivotal eligibility criterion for the cohort of patients who are obese and diabetic.
Bariatric surgery is an effective therapy for T2DM, with better remission seen with RYGB as compared to LSG. Preoperative BMI does not have any impact on diabetes remission while older age and longer duration of diabetes have less improved outcomes. We recommend that T2DM patients receive bariatric surgery early for better outcomes.
