First-year Sox manager Cora pushing all the right buttons
By Kevin McNamara/@KevinMcNamara33
Oct 10, 2018 at 7:10 PM Oct 10, 2018 at 7:10 PM
As the seventh inning unfolded at a tense Yankee Stadium Tuesday night, Alex Cora's gut told him to go for the kill.
His Red Sox owned a comfortable 4-1 lead over a Yankee lineup that somehow forgot to bring its power game home after hitting some moon shots at Fenway Park last weekend. As Ryan Brasier set the Yanks down in order, Cora turned to pitching coach Dana LeVangie and bench coach Ron Roenicke and put a silver bullet option on the table for the critical eighth inning.
"Everybody was on board," Cora said. "I even shouted to the dugout 'Hey, we're all in. He's coming in.'''
He was Chris Sale, the team's ace hurler and the man slated to start if a Game 5 was needed less than 48 hours away. But Cora saw a path where this Division Series could end right then and there, in Game 4, in the Bronx, right smack in the belly of the beast.
The move, like seemingly all of Cora's moves in his rookie season as a big league manager, came up aces. Sale set down the Yankees in order on just 13 pitches and turned the ball over to closer Craig Kimbrel for the ninth.
Things nearly went haywire with the loose-bearded righty fumbling through a fight to find the strike zone, but a Yankee rally fell one play short. The Red Sox tucked a 4-3 victory to their chests and ran as quickly as possible into a clubhouse where an understandably exuberant champagne-and-beer blast broke out.
The Red Sox first playoff series win since capturing the 2013 World Series was filled with twists and turns and, ultimately, dominated by some unconventional moves by Cora. It sets up a star-packed American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, the defending World Series champs. The Astros are loaded with versatile hitters, some thumping power bats, two front line starting pitchers and oodles of confidence.
But the Red Sox have Alex Cora. The Astros do not. He's been a weapon the team feels will keep on giving and help pave the way to a spot in the World Series.
"It seemed like every button he's pushing is the right one," said reliever Matt Barnes. "I think he's got a great feel for the game. He understands the game. He does a great job of managing and communicating with everybody on what's going on. I think it showed in this series and it will be awesome moving forward."
Some of the moves Cora pulled out of his hat in the 3-1 series win over the Yankees:
*With his bullpen literally choking away Game 1 at Fenway, Cora moved away from his relief corps and tabbed starting pitcher Rick Porcello to protect a 5-3 lead in the eighth inning. Porcello secured two big outs before turning the ball over to Kimbrel, who closed the door on a 5-4 victory.
*After watching the bottom of his lineup whiff at the plate for two games, Cora penciled Brock Holt, Rafael Devers and Christian Vazquez into the lineup for Game 3 at Yankee Stadium. Despite a spotty history against New York starter Luis Severino, the bench trio helped spark a 16-1 uprising that shook the confidence of the hated Yanks. The group combined for eight hits, six runs and seven RBI. Holt drove in five runs and hit for the first cycle in major league playoff history.
*With lefty C.C. Sabathia on the mound to start Game 4 for New York, Cora chose to reverse course and sit Holt to return to Ian Kinsler at second base. This is like changing your favorite numbers after cashing in a million dollar Powerball ticket, but Holt rarely hits against left-handed pitchers. Kinsler responded with a key RBI double that helped stake the Sox to a 3-0 third inning lead.
*Cora stayed with Vazquez as his catcher for Game 4 even though starting pitcher Porcello had thrown to Sandy Leon in every one of his 2018 outings. Vazquez not only guided Porcello through five innings of one-run bal,l but also lifted a pitch into the right field seats to lead off the fourth inning and give Boston a 4-0 lead.
Cora's final move, his final stroke of hardball genius, came in sending Sale out for the eighth. At that point he wasn't thinking about a do-or-die Game 5 back at Fenway. He was only hearing Sale's voice in his head. The thin lefty had approached the manager earlier in the day and told him he was ready to come out of the bullpen at a moment's notice.
As Sale aimed streams of champagne at teammates in the clubhouse, many players and executives targeted praise toward Cora. Majority Owner John Henry labeled him "a wizard almost from Day One," while presumptive MVP Mookie Betts chuckled and said "he's amazing. We've got a guy who hit for the cycle (in Holt) and he wasn't in the lineup today, and nobody questioned him. We put our full trust in him and I think he trusts us."
So what does Cora have up his sleeve for the Astros, a team he helped win the Series last season as a bench coach? Who knows, but he'll help make these playoffs fun, entertaining and certainly nerve-wracking.
Welcome to October baseball.

Living green walls (also known as vertical gardens) are an emerging architectural design trend in the urban built environment. They bring the benefits of nature to commercial settings and office buildings, both inside and out. The benefits are not only for the people who work in these buildings, but for the environment as well.
Biophilia refers to the innate tendency for people to seek connections with nature. Our busy, overcommitted lives lead to stress, poor health and the need to recharge and refocus. To do so, most of us look to nature and are gratified spending time in the mountains, on beaches or in other outdoor spaces. We crave nature! Often, an outdoor walk after work or weekend hike satisfies this craving. But in the confines of the workweek, daily doses of indoor nature in the built environment provides the same effect as being outdoors. It clears our mind, reduces stress and increases our energy level.
Several studies show that plants in the workplace are more than just aesthetically pleasing, they improve employee performance. Recent research has found that people have an increased ability to concentrate and are more creative when working in an office with indoor foliage.
Living green walls are impactful and dramatic! Employees and visitors marvel at the lush greenery and calming displays. Creatively designed vertical gardens provide attractive color, texture and incredibly stunning displays. The emerging living green wall trend requires design inspiration and an in-depth knowledge of plant species that work. With proper selections, the results will be spectacular!
We spend up to 90% of our time indoors with stale, recirculated air. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates indoor air pollution two to five times higher than outdoor air leading to "Sick Building Syndrome." Live plants through their natural photosynthetic process generate oxygen and fresh air. Plants remove harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzene and many other VOCs resulting from building materials, finishes and furniture. By absorbing pollutants, naturally produced fresh air from a living green wall provides a healthy work environment contributing to employee wellbeing and increased productivity.
We need intimate areas at work to meet and collaborate. Modern open office design encourages employee interaction and spontaneous conversation, but often leads to noise and distraction. One way to reduce unwanted noise in buildings is with the use of plants. Living green walls contribute to overall noise reduction by absorbing, diffracting and reflecting sound waves. The result is intimate, quiet spaces that encourage focused energy and creativity.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage sustainable design.
Planted walls can make the building more energy efficient by providing a shield from strong summer sunlight and provide protective insulation during the winter months. This reduces energy consumption and the building's carbon footprint. Exterior living green walls also provide a habitat for butterflies, ladybugs and small birds within their ecosystem. The use of living green walls can help a building to earn LEED points making it more attractive to occupants and increase the property's overall value.


program reported an improvement in quality of life, but the effects diminished significantly six months later. Patients in the control group showed a decline in quality of life during and after treatment (Cancer, Feb. 15).
n Grade point averages may be contagious in high-school social networks, finds a study conducted by scientists at Binghamton University. Researchers asked 158 11th-graders to categorize their peers as best friends, friends, acquaintances, strangers or relatives and mapped how students performed in school relative to their peer groups. The researchers found that students whose friends were performing better academically were more likely to improve their own scores. Researchers also observed the opposite: When a student's friends' GPAs declined, the student's GPA also dropped (PLoS ONE, Feb. 13).
also found that effects were greater in individuals who had specific variants of the gene MTHFR and three other folate-pathway genes previously associated with the severity of negative symptoms of schizophrenia (JAMA Psychiatry, online March 6). High school students whose friends perform well academically were more likely to have better GPAs, a new study finds.
n In rich and poor nations, spending money on others makes people feel better than spending on themselves, suggests a study out of Simon Fraser University in Canada. Researchers found a positive relationship between personal well-being and spending on others in 120 of 136 countries covered in the 2006–08 Gallup World Poll. In one question, for example, the scientists asked 820 participants to write how happy they felt about a time they had spent money on themselves or on others. They found that those who remembered spending money on someone else felt happier than those who recalled spending money on themselves (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, online Feb. 18).
n Girls acquire language earlier than boys thanks to a protein in the brain, suggests research from the University of Maryland. In the first part of the study, scientists analyzed the crying patterns of young rats and discovered that the " chattier" rats — the male pups — had more FOXP2 protein, which has been linked to speech and language, in their brains than the quieter ones. They then measured the FOXP2 protein in the brain tissue of 10 4-year-old and 5-year-old human girls and boys who had died suddenly due to accidents and found that the females had up to 30 percent more FOXP2 protein than the males. This finding may help explain previous data showing that young girls tend to have greater language abilities than boys of the same age (Journal of Neuroscience, Feb. 20).

THE RODEO CALLS PAYMENTS TO PERFORMERS TRADE SECRETS???
Date: July 24 2018, 2:45 pm
Why does a charity have trade secrets? Are they competing with other charities?
That's the claim of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on the eve of a Friday court fight.
The Rodeo claims it can't show us payments to performers who play concerts at the Rodeo. Apparently, it's a trade secret.
"I hope the IRS is listening to what the sacred cow is doing," says Wayne Dolcefino, President of Dolcefino Consulting. "The Rodeo isn't worried about embarrassing performers who charge way too much money to play for a charity trying to help kids in school. They don't want their for-profit competitors knowing what they pay, and that is the problem."
The Rodeo did agree to let Dolcefino Consulting come and inspect their general ledger but wouldn't let us see the concert payments. In fact, they didn't show us who was on their payroll, or any of the records Houstonians deserve to see.
The Rodeo is hiding details about security, possible payments to resolve sexual harassment complaints, details of their foreign investments and payments to entertainers. We know from their website they spent $81 million producing the 2017 event, during which they raised just over $14 million for scholarships.
Friday the Rodeo will ask State District Judge Steve Kirkland for permission to sue Dolcefino Consulting for our pesky little charity records questions. They also want to sue a rape victim currently suing the Rodeo for the brutal assault she endured during a Los Vaqueros trail ride warm up event.
"I want the media at the hearing Friday so that Houstonians can see the way a charity acts," says Dolcefino. "I never asked the Rodeo how much they paid Garth Brooks, but under Texas law I have every right to know."
"It is becoming clear to me the Rodeo simply thinks it is a sacred cow and doesn't have to follow the law. The question is, will Houstonians let them get away with it."
The hearing is scheduled for 9 am, Friday July 27, 2018 in 334th District Court.

10 Japanese Folklore Creatures
Mar 3, 2011 | Views: 5,631
So many things about the Japanese and Japan itself fascinate me. When I visited Japan a few years back, it was one of the best places I ever visited. One of the best trips I ever had. I wanted to stay longer. The country is organized, very EXCELLENT customer service nearly everywhere, convenient, safe, and so many interesting things to see, experience and explore. There were so many places in Japan I wanted to visit and didn't have time even though I was there for three weeks. Tokyo is an amazing Metropolis, and if I spoke Japanese, I would not mind living there. I really like so many things Japanese so very much. Well for now let me share some of their folklore with you… very interesting as with most things Japanese.
These are the top 10 most bizarre creatures from Japanese folklore:
#10 KAPPA
This is a Kappa ("river-child"). According to Japanese folklore, Kappas are scaly, reptilian-skinned creatures who are about the size of a child. Although they are dangerous and are perceived as trouble-makers, they are extremely polite and understand Japanese culture and language.
One thing strange about them is the indentation at the top of their head. When away from water, it is said that they have to keep water within the bowl-like indentation to maintain their magical powers. Without it, they would be immobilized.
When in a threatening situation, a human can bow towards a Kappa. A Kappa, being very polite according to Japanese tradition, would then be obliged to return the bow, only to spill the water from the top of his head, becoming immobilized in a bowing position! Hehe
It is said that if you were to refill that bowl, the Kappa would serve you for all eternity.
You may have heard of Kappas before without realizing it: "Kappamaki"! Kappas are known to really like cucumbers – you could possibly even befriend Kappas by giving them cucumbers. Because of this, the cucumber-filled sushi was named after them.
On the bad side, they have been blamed for causing animals and children to drown, for causing children to be kidnapped and women to be raped… However, because they hold their promises honourably, if you were to trick a Kappa into promising you something, he would have no choice but to carry it through. They have been known to help farmers irrigate their land and pass out knowledge on medicine. There are existing shrines dedicated to those Kappas that have served a human in some way.
#9 HEIKEGANI
A Heikegani is a crab that has a shell resembling a human face! The Japanese believe that the crabs are reincarnations of a fallen and lost ruling clan called the Heike. They were led by the Emperor of Japan, who was only a 7 year old boy then.
In a bloody war with another samurai clan, they lost a battle close by the Japanese inland sea, and the Emperor (together with his grandmother) drowned in the depths of the ocean.
To honour the Heike whose clan was wiped out in the Japanese waters, crabs which have shells looking like human faces are released back into the waters. The Japanese wouldn't want to eat crabs which they thought were reincarnations of those fallen warriors.
I have added a video produced and hosted by Carl Sagan.
Oh… the Heikegani is not a legend. They really exist hehe
Or view the video on the server at:
https://video.tsemtulku.com/videos/Legend-of-the-Heikegani-Crab.mp4
#8 KASA-OBAKE
Called the "Umbrella Ghost", the folk legend about this Japanese spirit came about after the umbrella was used for 100 years. Kasa-obake are a type of "Tsukumogami" which are objects that will come to life after existing for 100 years… i.e. when a TV exists for 100 years, it becomes an animate object!
The Kasa-Obake were animating so often that the Japanese people wanted to give them another name, to distinguish them from the other Tsukumogami's… so they named them Kasa-Obake!
#7 NUPPEPPO
The Nuppeppo is a Japanese folk legend that has very little information available on the Internet.
They are apparently a lump of human flesh that smells like rotting flesh. There is some sort of face that creates creases on the blob-like body, and they have fingers and toes. They are about 1.5 metres tall and if you happen to get the chance to eat a Nuppeppo's flesh, you could possibly live for an eternity in a young, youthful body.
They can apparently be spotted at graveyards or deserted temple areas when the clock strikes 12 midnight.
#6 MAKURA-GAESHI
Makura-Gaeshi is also known as the "pillow-mover". They are known to be a trickster or a prankster, moving pillows from a peacefully sleeping persons' head to his feet! Hehe
The creature, who can apparently steal souls too… are only visible to children.
The Japanese are very specific with this mystical creature… they have even pointed out its anatomical features!! Apparently, the Makura-Gaeshi has 5 organs: one for storing children souls, one for converting the souls to energy and supplying that energy to the rest of the body… and a pouch that has sand in it. They would put sand into people's eyes to make them go to sleep.
The Makura-Gaeshi also has 2 brains. One for scheming out pranks and one for creating rainbow coloured light that is emitted through its eyes.
#5 MOKUMOKUREN
The Mokumokuren are spirits that live in torn paper sliding walls/doors (shoji). This type of door is commonly found in Japanese houses, and can collect many holes over time.
If there are many holes on the paper sliding walls. it increases the chance of someone seeing the eye of a Mokumokuren staring through them. If you were to stare at it for long enough, it can apparently make you blind!
The only way to get rid of the spirit, is to patch up your walls. Easy enough!
#4 KONAK JIJI
The Konak Jiji is a mystical creature that takes on the form of an infant. It is very malicious and draws its victims in by crying like a baby when someone's in sight.
It is human nature that people will want to look for the child to comfort it… but upon finding the child and picking him/her up, the child will spontaneously put on an enormous amount of weight – possibly up to 300kg!
You wouldn't be able to let go of the child as upon touching it, you'd be immediately paralyzed. However, it is said that if you don't get crushed under all that weight, you would instead receive magical powers.
There is a spirit similar to Konak Jiji's in Malaysia, they are called Toyol. They are a lot more sinister, and could possibly fall under the category of black magic.
#3 AKANAME
Akaname is also called the "filth-licker"… and that is literally what they apparently exist to do! They dwell in places which are filthy, like uncleaned toilets and use their very long tongues to lick all the grime and dirt off their poisonous saliva.
It is believed that this creature was made up by parents to scare their kids into cleaning their bathrooms. However, it was Toriyama Sekien who came up with the mystical creature. He was an 18th century scholar and artist of Japanese folklore, who attempted to catalogue all of the Japanese folklore creatures.
#2 ITTAN
The Ittan (or Ittan-momen) are Japanese folklore's form of ghostly phenomenon. They exist as a 33-ft long strip of white cloth and are not that frightening by nature. However, if THEY are scared or frightened (or are the "evil" ones), they might just wrap themselves around your head and smother you to death!
In Japanese, Ittan-momen is translated as 'one-tenth hectare of cotton'. They do have a friendly side and can be worn by those who have gained their trust.
They have appeared in manga (Japanese comic) series such as GeGeGe no Kitaro and various video games and movies. All Japanese, of course hehe
#1 SHIRIME
Shirime or "anus eye" is an odd Japanese mystical folklore creature that has an eye where his anus is supposed to be!
Folklore describes how there was once a samurai who was walking along a road in Kyoto at night. Someone shouted from behind, asking him to wait. The man was so nervous that he quickly turned around to ask who was there, only to find another man undressing and pointing towards his bottom, an eye mysteriously appearing where the man's anus was meant to be.
The Japanese poet and artist Yosa Buson liked this mystical creature so much that he has added him into many of his paintings.

Given Japanese highly creative animation culture, it is believable that these unusual creatures live and exist among Japanese in the paperback. And I certainly do not think they live anywhere else in the world. I really enjoy reading the list of bizzare folklores, it gives me a different perspective of what constitute scary, or cute, or both in a culture like Japan.

FOR EXTREME PROTECTION
A powerful mantra from Tibet to protect from paranormal disturbances. It invokes upon the powerful angel Dorje Shugden, who rides on a mystical snow lion and rescues all that call upon this supreme awakened one from the land of the snows. His avatar has manifested in our world system to benefit us during the most turbulent of times. Dorje means adamantine energy, and Shugden means immovable and unchanging power.
This mantra is:
… excellent for those who do paranormal research and must enter into places that are afflicted with negative energies.
… powerful to protect psychics and astral travellers. For those who do astral travel, it is good to do this mantra before travelling.
… indispensable for those who visit cemeteries or places where violent energies are present.
… excellent to give protection for those who are afflicted with paranormal disturbances, and is highly protective.
Mantra: OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA
You can recite this mantra 108 times every day. If you miss a day, it does not matter. Simply continue reciting when you can.
Recite the mantra slowly and with concentration during times of distress and fear. Breathe deeply.
When you have visitations from spirits, disturbances or negative forces, recite strongly and with full trust. While reciting, request the spirits, disturbances and negative forces to be dispelled into the light. You can include this mantra with any other rituals you may or may not have. There is no conflict.
If you have spirits in the house, bodies of water, land, office or where you are residing, wish the spirit well and recite this mantra asking for the light and love to bless the spirit to be on its way.
When one is under the influence of hexes/spells and feels abnormally uncomfortable, you can recite this mantra more than 108 times (number up each individual) until you feel the affliction has subsided. It will also help in dispelling bad dreams.
If one comes across animal spirits, one can recite this mantra to bless the animal to cross over.
It is an overall mantra that energizes the place where we live, work or reside. It is most powerful especially if done every day. It activates and invokes upon the wisdom, compassion, blessings, abundance and protective energies of the ascended and awakened angel Dorje Shugden.
Meaning of the Mantra
OM: Refers to the form of Dorje Shugden; as such recitation of this syllable calls upon Dorje Shugden.
It invokes upon his divine presence to manifest now to bless, help and dispel negative energies.
BENZA: Represents the awakened mind of Dorje Shudgen, the indestrubtible nature of which is filled with compassion and wisdom inherent in all awakened beings. This increases wisdom within our minds to help us make good decisions to tackle life's vicissitudes.
WIKI BITANA: Represents the four energies of peaceful, increasing, controlling and wrathful enlightening activities that are invoked upon depending on the situaion. These are the four energies invoked to subdue, counter, bless and send a spirit on its way.
SOHA: Represents the exhortation to grant requests. It means bless me with abundance, wisdom, love and fulfilment.
With this syllable we invoke the blessings of all good things into our lives.

Pastor Chia on Feb 1, 2017 at 8:58 am
Every creature existing in different country are so interesting. I do fascinated how this being existing story. Out of the 10 Japanese Folklore creatures story,i heard about Kappa ("river-child") the most. Many story of river child story has reported in Asia country which people has seeing this being existing. Having said that,most of river child story causing people lose their life when people swimming at the river side. Their existence has prove that about buddha said many beings within 6 realm.
Mingwen on Feb 1, 2017 at 8:15 am
Every creature on earth is unique.
It's not necessary to prove their existence with science and technology because we all know the capabilities of science is limited.
Believe or not is everyone's own choice, but to respect every creature and behave well are MUST DOs if we wish to live in harmony and peace.
Pastor Albert on Feb 1, 2017 at 7:40 am
Very interesting article, half of it I have read about it before when I was a child, there is a collection of Japenese folklore that was presented in a comic form.
Although it is said to be Japanese folklore, but I do believe the existence of these beings for the past and even now and future. There are 6 realms in Samsara, every beings are possible.
Julia Tan on Feb 1, 2017 at 2:23 am
Different races, countries and cultures have their own different Folklore to tell. I believe many are made up to scared or discipline the children or just stories. There are 6 realms where lives different creatures, there are possibility of someone have seen these creatures in the pass just like Big Foot, Yeti and dragon due to individual karma with these creatures.
Andrea Lai on Feb 1, 2017 at 2:03 am
I always like reading funny,weird stories. I used to enjoyed having kappamaki as my snack and now additional knowledge to me is, while having kappamaki and also sharing this sushi with a "friend."
Some people may find it disgusting and others may find it hilarious when mentioned "anus eye".As I know people often mentioned it either as prank or insult but in this article, Shirime is a folklore creature.Interesting!
June Kang on Feb 1, 2017 at 12:36 am
I believe some exist but some were people make up the story for a purpose. Each time ready this type of story, a question of " are they suffer" always came to my mine. Suffer is because human can not accept them and afraid of them. And in the actual world, some of us may behave like them also. Well, is nice to read all this to understand Japan's cultures and beliefs. Thank you.
Eric kksiow on Jan 31, 2017 at 11:32 pm
I believe all of them are existed, and most of "theirs" stories or histories are more than 100 years, is it a myth? story? Or the history? I have no idea of it.
At my point of view, i will read it as for knowledge, and i don't want to offended "them" too. Spirits, creatures, UFOs, Gods and Buddhas.. At my level i don't have any ability to see and communicate with them.
Thank You Rinpoche for sharing this article to all of us.
Much learned from you

nicholas on Jan 31, 2017 at 10:42 pm
Every country or culture may have their own beliefs and cutoms. Japan really has it own interesting folklore. I feel Kappa is an interesting creature and being such a polite creature it's a respectful type.
Heikegani is an interesting crab with samurai face. Not sure if the background is just a myth but looking at the video of how it look it only can be found in Japan.
Whatever culture or belief an individual has what important is for us to respect even if we don't believe. Only through respect we can live in harmony and preserve the rich culture for our future generation.
Pastor Antoinette on Jan 31, 2017 at 10:41 pm
These are indeed curious creatures. I wonder how can anyone come up with such beings. But then again, still today new species of animals are discovered.
The difference is that compared to animals, we feel in power, because of weapons or because we know how to handle them. But with these folkloristic creatures, we need to know very precise tricks to be safe from them.
I am not very familiar with Japan, its customs and folklore so this is a very instructive article although scary.
Anne Ong on Jan 31, 2017 at 9:59 pm
Thank you Rinpoche for these Japanese Folklore Creatures Tales. I really enjoyed reading all the stories. Each and every story has its own interesting background. Here are some of the stories that i like. #10 KAPPA. #2 ITTAN. #1 SHIRIME. #6 MAKURA-GAESHI.#4 KONAK JIJI.
pammie yap on Jan 31, 2017 at 8:57 pm
Japan has many interesting things. Like their culture, tradition and manners, which I find interesting and unique. I have yet to visit Japan but reading these folklores added more interests to go and visit.
The one I find interesting among the ten are Kappa because of the indentation on the top of its head and Kasa-Obake where things come to life after 100 years. Even Kappa have tradition and manners although perceived as trouble maker. How interesting!
Pastor Henry Ooi on Jan 31, 2017 at 7:38 pm
I find Kappa fascinating in that it can be controlled and won over to do our bidding. Just making it bow, filling the water and offering it cucumbers and voila! We have a 'friend.' Cool!
Akaname would be the dream of every house keeper and hotel. If only they exist. They are similar to the suckermouth catfish bred in aquariums to clean algae and filth.
Sofi on Aug 8, 2016 at 1:39 am
I always find Japanese folklore interesting. I find the Japanese very ingenious especially in creating perfectness in their living, like their beautiful gardens, their quality of food and presentations, the quality of their manufactured products, etc. They are so advance in science and technology and yet maintained their traditionalism in religion and beliefs. Many families lived together with their parents and grandparents under the same roof due to filial piety. I think that some of the folklores were made up to entertain the younger ones and to scare the mischievous ones into toeing the line. And some folklores could be very real as experiences could have been passed down the generations by word of mouth.
The Kappa sounds easy to handle by just bowing and using its politeness to return the bow thus spilling the water on top of its head. Hehe… so we must make sure we always carry a bottle of water with us to refill the hole on the head of the Kappa and be rewarded. The strangest would be the Shirime. Wonder what is the story behind the eye at its anus… should be interesting.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the stories of these 10 creatures of Japanese folklore.
Edward Ooi on Jun 11, 2015 at 2:27 am
To this very day, I still love watching anime and read manga. Japan is truly an amazing and beautiful place to be. Japan is filled with beautiful places and nice people. I will definitely visit Japan one day. The only thing is that they have very less vegetarian choices.
It is so fascinating that the Heikegani, a Japanese folklore which has been scientifically proven to exist. How often do we see these things exist? The crabs could have look like any other beings or things in the world but why would it have a samurai face on it's back? Do you think is the reincarnations of the fallen samurais? For me, I believe it.
The Shirime looks and sounds kinda funny to me. I don't believe that Shirime is real, there is a big possibility where the witness mistaken something for it because he was high or drunk. The other are fascinating as well but not so compared to the Heikegani. Thank You Rinpoche for sharing.
Edward Ooi on May 10, 2014 at 11:06 pm
Dear RInpoche, I've only heard of Heikegani. It's really fascinating that this species of crabs only appear after the emperor and his men committed suicide, and the fisherman says that they do not fish this type of of crabs because they believe that these crabs are the emperor and his men. In other words, they kinda cursed the sea. No offense Rinpoche, but I think the rest of them are fake.
Vinnie Tan on Jul 28, 2013 at 6:07 pm
I always love Japanese folklore. It is scary yet mysterious. There are many anime cartoons that tells viewers how the creatures are. But they will be depicted in a good manner at the end of the day by helping some one or something.
edward ooi on Feb 11, 2013 at 7:34 pm
Wow, these creatures that live in Japan are so unique. The creature called Shirime is so funny, it have an eye on its bottom. I wonder do they really exist in this world? If I ever have the chance to visit Japan, I would never wish to see them. But if they doesn't hurt humans then i would like to see them. By the way, thank you Rinpoche for sharing these information about folklore creatures in Japan
Sean Wang on Jan 31, 2013 at 10:23 pm
I really love Japanese folklore. The japanese are indeed a colourful culture. Some of the "monsters" are so messed up. Especially, the Shirime, the anus eye. I would really be terrified if I get called from behind only to find myself being mooned by a man with an eye up his butt. Another very interesting one is the baby spirit that turns into 300kg. I wonder if one were to sacrifice their legs by putting the baby on their lap, will the person still receive powers?
su an on Jun 13, 2012 at 7:42 pm
This is really interesting! The Japanese folklore creatures here are quite funny… i particularly like the story about Kappa (also i happen to like kappamaki the most out of all sushi hehe).
Andrew Chiam on Mar 4, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Thanks Rinpoche. It was an intresting post for "mystical" knowledge. thanks for your great kindness and effort to compile the information for our learning.
David Lai on Mar 4, 2011 at 8:55 am
This is really a most fascinating blog post. I love all the stories here and I am very fascinated to read about them. I think all cultures would have an equivalent of some of these supernatural beings. The universality of it makes them most likely to be real. One just need to see the smoke to know that there is fire. I believe in ancient India and Tibet too there are all those supernatural beings that are not enlightened and have smaller or bigger impact on people's daily lives.
I think, learning about supernatural beings and if one get a chance to perceive them would be most educational for most modern people. It is educational because it shows us that there other realms and dimensions and types of existences. Hence, even the Buddhas and Dharma Protectors do exist as well.
Jon Antony on Mar 4, 2011 at 6:01 am
Very interesting! No Shinigami though?
cynthia on Mar 4, 2011 at 1:26 am
I always felt beings like this do exist even though some stories may not be entirely accurate. If anyone tells me, I never hesitated to believe. I always always always believe in anything mystical and the possibilities of it especially as a kid.
As a kid, knowing the unknown and what may not seem possible to be real seems so much easier. Then again, life was so much easier as a kid. As I grew older and got caught in "life", the fantasy world slowly fades because the shift in priorities and responsibilities. It's like we have to stop being in the fantasy world which is funny because is the life we live is an illusion.
Elena on Mar 3, 2011 at 4:55 pm
It's interesting how people across many different cultures have their own folklores…and how some folklores transcend cultures (like the Yeti and Bigfoot). Just goes to show humans aren't as different to one another as we think…just some characteristics are more pronounced in one person than in others!
Lew, Kwan Leng on Mar 3, 2011 at 4:13 pm
I was brought up to based all the things on science. If science cannot prove it, I won't believe it. More so for folklore like these, I will just brush them aside and never even want to look at it second time.
Reading Rinpoche's blog really challenge my mind. While I am not sure if these creatures really exists (because I have not seen them before), I don't brush it aside immediately, and will ponder on the matter. This actually make my mind more open, and thus open to more new concepts and most importantly Buddha's teaching.
I sincerely thank Rinpoche for finding new ways to challenge my mind, and pray that others will benefit from it too!
Jin on Mar 24, 2014 at 12:27 am
Just because science cannot prove it, doesn't make it unreal. Science cannot prove the origins of life, does that make life not real? Nay.
And these beings can be proven by science very easy. They are call jinn, they are made out of smokeless fire (which today we would call plasma), and there are many lights that are unseen to the naked eye. As they are made from fire they can appear to us as different forms and shapes. And not everything in life can be explained 100% by humans, for we use the senses we have.
Terri on Mar 3, 2011 at 2:47 pm
It reminds me of teachings i heard on the Shurangama mantra.

December 04 2019	Legal Services Alabama Community
Former Disability Rights Advocate Joins LSA as Managing Attorney of Client Access
Legal Services Alabama welcomed Attorney Nell Brimmer to its Central Office Staff on Nov. 18, 2019. As the newly-created Managing Attorney of Client Access, Brimmer will work with LSA Executive Staff and Alabama's five Volunteer Lawyers Programs to strengthen access to justice across the state.
With experience in disability rights, civil rights, domestic violence, housing and administrative law, for Brimmer, LSA is an opportunity to ensure people have access to justice.
"I don't think access to justice should be dependent upon access to wealth," Brimmer said. "As Client Access Manager, the idea is to focus in on how folks access the justice system and how we can best amplify the VLPs and encourage private attorney involvement … My goal is to be a resource and to support the work of LSA and attorneys across Alabama who are volunteering their time and expertise. Pro bono is really the heart of the profession."
Brimmer, who has lived in Southern Appalachia, Coastal New England and spent her formative years in intown Atlanta, calls the South home. Brimmer practiced the last 3 1/2 years as Managing Attorney for Disabilities Rights Maine (DRM), directing and managing the delivery of legal services for clients with disabilities as well as supervising a statewide legal team. While at DRM, she represented the first person in Maine to terminate a guardianship in favor of employing Supported Decision-Making, a less restrictive support model. Having worked for a large law firm in Atlanta early in her legal career, Brimmer also has experience in private practice, where she dedicated considerable time to pro bono work, assisting victims of domestic violence and immigrants facing human trafficking.
"I am excited to be back in the south, which was a very intentional decision," Brimmer said. "This position sounded interesting and innovative and right up my alley."
At an early age, Brimmer admired her mother's social activism, which sparked her own spirit of altruism and wanting to serve the community.
Brimmer earned a bachelor's degree from Massachusetts' Salem State University (2002) and a J.D. from the John Marshall Law School in Atlanta (2010), where she was a founding member of the Public Interest Law Society. While in undergraduate school, Brimmer's education focused on Women's Studies, photography, and Latin American history.
Having served as a board member for multiple nonprofit organizations, most recently for a sexual assault support center in Maine, Brimmer stated she has always had an interest in "social justice."
"I strongly believe in justice," Brimmer said. "The law has limitations and the work that we do collectively is trying to broaden who the law serves and how the law serves folks. We are all equal under the law. The question is, 'How do we get there?' It shouldn't be based upon access to resources, to wealth – these things are inequitably distributed in our society. But the law is a profession of service and lawyers are problem-solvers. How do we make the law accessible in a real way and encourage people to use the system that is here?"
LSA, Brimmer stated, wants to strengthen access to legal services through collaboration. "Pro Bono work empowers the community and the profession."
Brimmer also has an interest in the arts, specifically photography. When not practicing, she enjoys visiting art museums, reading, traveling, and spending time with her partner Jason and their son, Hawthorne.

With an increase in language needs and budgets getting tighter, it seems that machine translation (MT) will soon become part of the solution for some types of content. But, this form of automated translation still evokes distrust in many buyers. In the CSA's 2013 survey, 92 of 239 buyers were against MT.
Why do buyers say NO to machine translation?
The CSA report found that there is one particularly common reason as to why buyers shun MT. They aren't convinced that machine translation is as good as the human touch. The survey identified several common issues that keep buyers from jumping up and down for machine translation.
Some buyers claim to be unsure as to how cost-effective this form of translation is, particularly when compared to the human translation process. The buyers are worried that they'll need to make a big investment and then still pay out for post-edited machine translation (PEMT). Other buyers report that they don't have enough information to make a decision, whilst others are confused by the costs and the different terms of service.
Some buyers report being worried about not having control over the MT process, increasing their need to rely on LSPs and spending more just to manage the software.
There are some buyers that are concerned about integrating MT with the language technology and processes they already have in place.
Those surveyed claimed that their creative content, such as marketing materials, may not be suitable for MT, or they worry that their content is not clean enough. To ensure a smooth MT, the source content must be plain and in a context-neutral language. Moreover, creating source content ready for machine translation means extra investment in terms of buyers training their content writers.
The localisation maturity of LPSs also influences buyer's decisions and their attitude towards MT. For example, LSPs still in the initial phases of localisation maturity, which is Reactive and Repeatable, are not yet ready for machine translation. On the other hand, mature organisations are leading the industry with the technology.
While the survey notes a parallel between a company's maturity and MT usage, it was also noted that the experience of some companies tends to affect their attitude toward the technology. Two-thirds of respondents reportedly don't want to use MT and those respondents have been involved in translation for a period of five to ten years.
Fears over linguist quality continue to influence buyer's decisions. LSPs fear that technology will replace them while buyers insist that machines will never "get" the intricacies of a language like a human can.
With the demand to translate websites in 20 or more languages at times, many companies are being forced toward MT, despite their reservations. The solution, then, perhaps, is to share translation memories across suppliers to ensure consistency along with the options of crowd-sourcing. Interestingly, 53% of respondents told the CSA they do plan to use MT in the future. So, it may not appeal, but it just may have to.

Складной нож () — один из методов ресэмплинга (линейное приближением статистического бутстрэпа), используемый для оценки погрешности в статистическом выводе. Способ заключается в следующем: для каждого элемента вычисляется среднее значение выборки без учёта данного элемента, а затем — среднее всех таких значений. Для выборки из N элементов оценка получается путём вычисления среднего значения остальных N-1 элементов.

Этот метод разработал Морис Кенуй (Maurice Quenouille 1949, 1956) с целью уменьшения погрешности оценки отдельного образца. Джон Тьюки в 1958 году расширил его возможности и предложил название «складной нож», потому что его действие напоминает складной нож — простой инструмент, которым можно решить множество различных проблем, пускай и менее эффективно, чем при помощи предназначенных для этого средств. Он может помочь улучшить оценку в случае когда данные распределены неравномерно.

Оценка
Оценочные параметры могут быть найдены как среднее значение элементов выборки без i-го элемента (назовем их ).

Дисперсионная оценка
Оценка дисперсии параметров может быть вычислена по формуле:

где  — это оценочные параметры, а  — оценка, основанная на всех элементах.

Другими словами оценка дисперсии — это среднее арифметическое квадратов разности среднего арифметического всех элементов и данного.

Оценка и коррекция смещения
Данный метод может быть использован для оценки погрешности параметра относительно всей выборки. Введем , как оценку параметра на основе всех данных:

Cross country is one of the opportunities available to Tasmanian runners throughout winter; here we provide a brief overview to help get you started, but please see the websites below for more information. Note that TRR is a recreational running organisation, not an Athletics Club (which are governed by Athletics Tasmania) – and so TRR membership does not cover you for cross country events (you are required to join an Athletics Club).
Athletics Tasmania is the state-wide governing body for Athletics in Tasmania. Athletics South is the body that looks after the southern Tasmanian Clubs, but for information on statewide clubs and opportunities for involvement, go here.
Not sure? Come and try.
The first Southern cross country is at Bellerive Beach 10:30am (April 6, 2019). Turn up, run and chat to some of the Club members there (who will all have tents set up). You don't need to register – just pay the $3 and write 'unattached' on your registration card instead of a Club. If you miss the first one, you can turn up to any to try.

Q: How to copy string from a column by a condition I have this situation:
Column
00000000 H0200 5555
H2000 OOOOO4344p H2300
B1500 00000 R2222
B1000

This is just one a column, and I need to take the first values that start with H or B for each row, this way:
Column
H0200
H2000
B1500
B1000

I tried several commands gsub, strsplit, substr etc. But I couldn't to do the condition for this.

A: An option is str_extract from stringr by matching the 'H' or (|) 'B' character from the word boundary (\\b) followed by one more more digits (\\d+) and the word boundary (\\b)
library(stringr)
df1$Column <- str_extract(df1$Column, "\\b(H|B)\\d+\\b")

A: sapply(strsplit(d$Column, " "), function(s)
    s[substring(s, 1, 1) %in% c("H", "B")][1])
#[1] "H0200" "H2000" "B1500" "B1000"

OR
sub(".*?([H|B]\\w+).*", "\\1", d$Column)
#[1] "H0200" "H2000" "B1500" "B1000"

DATA
d = structure(list(Column = c("00000000 H0200 5555",

Today is Father's Day, one of the first sunny days in a month of rain. But I am indoors, cleaning the kitchen, the way Dad would. I decided that would be the way to honor him this year.
My Dad had a lot of talents so kitchen clean-up might seem like a lame choice but Dad treated the task with the utmost respect and it's about time I did too.
Ray Finlayson cleaned with the doggedness of a soldier, patrolling the borders of hidden dirt and secret smudges. He was never slap dash. Or dreary. He'd sing as he mopped up the gravy spills, the vegetable scraps and the meat gristle clinging to the cutting board. But that was just the opening salvo.
He'd dispatch the surviving dinner detritus back to the refrigerator and load the dishwasher to its groaning fullest, determined to cram in every last fork, sometimes shattering goblets and dooming us to stuck-on egg. But he was incorrigible on the mechanics. "That's what they're made for," he'd intone, "Just thrun it all in!"—a nod to his Scottish roots, or his invented Daddy language. He'd push every high-speed, extra-rinse button to get his money's worth.
I am my father's daughter, but too often I forget the joy of shining the details or savoring the everyday. I race to the 'big what's next'. My father was a master of burnishing the now. He respected the wipe of a rag.
I want to do more than miss him on Father's Day. I want to keep learning from the best teacher I ever had. The man who taught me how to take care of myself, even if I don't clean up so well. I can learn, Daddy. I can learn.

Irvine, Calif., Feb. 17, 2015 — Human neural stem cell treatments are showing promise for reversing learning and memory deficits after chemotherapy, according to UC Irvine researchers.
The frequent use of chemotherapy to combat multiple cancers can produce severe cognitive dysfunction, often referred to as "chemobrain," which can persist and manifest in many ways long after the end of treatments in as many as 75 percent of survivors — a problem of particular concern with pediatric patients.
"Our findings provide the first solid evidence that transplantation of human neural stem cells can be used to reverse chemotherapeutic-induced damage of healthy tissue in the brain," said Charles Limoli, a UC Irvine professor of radiation oncology.
Additionally, these toxic compounds damage the connective structure of neurons, called dendrites and axons, and alter the integrity of synapses — the vital links that permit neurons to pass electrical and chemical signals throughout the brain. Limoli compares the process to a tree being pruned of its branches and leaves.
For the UC Irvine study, adult neural stem cells were transplanted into the brains of rats after chemotherapy. They migrated throughout the hippocampus, where they survived and differentiated into multiple neural cell types. Additionally, these cells triggered the secretion of neurotrophic growth factors that helped rebuild wounded neurons.
Munjal Acharya, Lori-Ann Christie, Vahan Martirosian, Nicole N. Chmielewski, Nevine Hanna, Katherine Tran, Alicia Liao and Vipan Parihar of UC Irvine contributed to the study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health (grant R01 NS074388581) and supported by UC Irvine's Institute for Clinical & Translational Science.

Lynparza
Lynparza Dosage/Direction for Use
Zuellig
Dosage/Direction for Use
Treatment with Lynparza should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anticancer medicinal products.
FC tab: Detection of BRCA1/2 mutations: Before Lynparza treatment is initiated for first-line maintenance treatment of high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), fallopian tube cancer (FTC) or primary peritoneal cancer (PPC), patients must have confirmation of deleterious or suspected deleterious germline and/or somatic mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility genes (BRCA) 1 or 2 using a validated test.
There is no requirement for BRCA1/2 testing prior to using Lynparza for the maintenance treatment of relapsed EOC, FTC or PPC who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based therapy.
For germline breast cancer susceptibility genes (gBRCA1/2) mutated human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer, patients must have confirmation of a deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCA1/2 mutation before Lynparza treatment is initiated. gBRCA1/2 mutation status should be determined by an experienced laboratory using a validated test method. Data demonstrating clinical validation of tumour BRCA1/2 tests in breast cancer are not currently available.
Genetic counselling for patients tested for mutations in BRCA1/2 genes should be performed according to local regulations.
Posology: Lynparza is available as 100 mg and 150 mg tablets.
The recommended dose of Lynparza is 300 mg (two 150 mg tablets) taken twice daily, equivalent to a total daily dose of 600 mg. The 100 mg tablet is available for dose reduction.
Patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed (PSR) high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) to platinum-based chemotherapy should start treatment with Lynparza no later than 8 weeks after completion of their final dose of the platinum-containing regimen.
Duration of treatment: First-line maintenance treatment of BRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer: Patients can continue treatment until radiological disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or for up to 2 years if there is no radiological evidence of disease after 2 years of treatment. Patients with evidence of disease at 2 years, who in the opinion of the treating physician can derive further benefit from continuous treatment, can be treated beyond 2 years.
Maintenance treatment of platinum sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer: For patients with platinum sensitive relapsed high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer, it is recommended that treatment be continued until progression of the underlying disease or unacceptable toxicity.
gBRCA1/2-mutated HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer: It is recommended that treatment be continued until progression of the underlying disease or unacceptable toxicity.
There are no efficacy or safety data on maintenance retreatment with Lynparza following first or subsequent relapse in ovarian cancer patients or on retreatment of breast cancer patients (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
Important differences in posology between Lynparza tablets and capsules: Lynparza tablets (100 mg and 150 mg) should not be substituted for Lynparza capsules (50 mg) on a milligram-to-milligram basis due to differences in the dosing and bioavailability of each formulation. Therefore, the specific dose recommendations for each formulation should be followed.
Missing dose: If a patient misses a dose of Lynparza, they should take their next normal dose at its scheduled time.
Dose adjustments for adverse reactions: Treatment may be interrupted to manage adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and anaemia and dose reduction can be considered (see Adverse Reactions).
The recommended dose reduction is to 250 mg (one 150 mg tablet and one 100 mg tablet) twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 500 mg).
If a further dose reduction is required, then reduction to 200 mg (two 100 mg tablets) twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 400 mg) is recommended.
Dose adjustments for co-administration with CYP3A inhibitors: Concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors is not recommended and alternative agents should be considered. If a strong CYP3A inhibitor must be co-administered, the recommended Lynparza dose reduction is to 100 mg (one 100 mg tablet) taken twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 200 mg). If a moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be co-administered, the recommended Lynparza dose reduction is to 150 mg (one 150 mg tablet) taken twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 300 mg) (see Precautions and Interactions).
Special populations: Elderly: No adjustment in starting dose is required for elderly patients. There are limited clinical data in patients aged 75 years and over.
Renal impairment: For patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 31 to 50 ml/min) the recommended dose of Lynparza is 200 mg (two 100 mg tablets) twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 400 mg) (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Lynparza can be administered in patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 51 to 80 ml/min) with no dose adjustment.
Lynparza is not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (creatinine clearance ≤ 30 ml/min), as safety and pharmacokinetics have not been studied in these patients. Lynparza may only be used in patients with severe renal impairment if the benefit outweighs the potential risk, and the patient should be carefully monitored for renal function and adverse events.
Hepatic impairment: Lynparza can be administered to patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A or B) with no dose adjustment (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions). Lynparza is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification C), as safety and pharmacokinetics have not been studied in these patients.
Non-Caucasian patients: There are limited clinical data available in non-Caucasian patients. However, no dose adjustment is required on the basis of ethnicity (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Paediatric population: The safety and efficacy of Lynparza in children and adolescents have not been established.
No data are available.
Method of administration: Lynparza is for oral use.
Lynparza tablets should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, dissolved or divided. Lynparza tablets may be taken without regard to meals.
Hard cap: Patients must have confirmation of a breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutation (either germline or tumour) before Lynparza treatment is initiated. BRCA mutation status should be determined by an experienced laboratory using a validated test method (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
There are limited data in patients with somatic BRCA-mutated tumours (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
Genetic counselling for patients with BRCA mutations should be performed according to local regulations if applicable.
Posology: The recommended dose of Lynparza is 400 mg (eight capsules) taken twice daily, equivalent to a total daily dose of 800 mg.
Patients should start treatment with Lynparza no later than 8 weeks after completion of their final dose of the platinum-containing regimen.
It is recommended that treatment be continued until progression of the underlying disease. There are no data on retreatment with Lynparza following subsequent relapse (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
The recommended dose reduction is to 200 mg twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 400 mg).
If a further final dose reduction is required, then reduction to 100 mg twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 200 mg) could be considered.
Dose adjustments for co-administration with CYP3A inhibitors: Concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors is not recommended and alternative agents should be considered. If a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be co-administered, the recommended Lynparza dose reduction is to 150 mg taken twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 300 mg) with a strong CYP3A inhibitor or 200 mg taken twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 400 mg) with a moderate CYP3A inhibitor (see Precautions and Interactions).
Elderly: No adjustment in starting dose is required for elderly patients. There is limited clinical data in patients aged 75 or over.
Patients with renal impairment: For patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 31 - 50 ml/min) the recommended dose of Lynparza is 300 mg twice daily (equivalent to a total daily dose of 600 mg) (see Pharmacodynamics: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Lynparza can be administered in patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 51 - 80 ml/min) with no dose adjustment.
Lynparza is not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (creatinine clearance ≤30 ml/min) since there are no data in such patients. Lynparza may only be used in patients with severe renal impairment if the benefit outweighs the potential risk, and the patient should be carefully monitored for renal function and adverse events.
Patients with hepatic impairment: Lynparza can be administered to patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A) with no dose adjustment (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions). Lynparza is not recommended for use in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, as safety and efficacy have not been studied in these patients.
Patients with performance status 2 to 4: There are very limited clinical data available in patients with performance status 2 to 4.
Paediatric population: The safety and efficacy of Lynparza in children and adolescents has not been established.
Due to the effect of food on olaparib absorption, patients should take Lynparza at least one hour after food, and refrain from eating preferably for up to 2 hours afterwards.

Q: oracle sql about table.substr something wrong with my sql
environment:oracle 12C
--table.title is available, and sql below is works
select substr(title,0,length(title)-8)  from table

--but this sql didn't work how to fix it?
SELECT tableA.something
FROM tableA
LEFT JOIN table
on tableA.name = table.substr(0,LENGTH(title)-8)

--output

"table"."SUBSTR":invalid identifier

thx.

A: Adjust your syntax to:
SELECT tableA.something
FROM tableA
LEFT JOIN table
on tableA.name = substr(table.title, LENGTH(table.title)-8)

table.title is an argument to the LENGTH() function. Also needs to be argument to SUBSTR().
