Hurry up and Visit Here to win PS4 Console!
Sony is surely no stranger on the video game market, after all of the "4" in PS4 isn't simply a random number. This's the company 's fourth generation console, not like the different iterations of another consoles it's published. For gamers, what this means is the console is produced by a manufacturer they are able to believe in.
Game that is new consoles do not come each day, though this season the PS4 arrived with a group of video games, upgraded graphics, a brand new DualShock four controller and many PlayStation four characteristics that set it aside from the PS3 and also the Xbox One.
The PlayStation or PS4 four as some might call it's a brand new PlayStation which will probably make a spot in the hearts of gamers for years and years to come. While we're accustomed to changing iPhones and netbooks each several years, the PS4 is created to endure nearly a decade, the same as the PS3.
There are lots of PS4 reviews available, but this is made by a very first time PlayStation owner, who could not adjust to earlier PlayStation controllers and who had Xbox and Xbox 360 games against friends for the previous ten years. I today wear the PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 and wish to talk about the PS4 review of mine from that viewpoint.
Sony's PS4 includes a brand new style which seems good with a shiny plus matter two tone look and sharp edges which will easily fit in with contemporary HDTVs. There aren't any special editions or maybe colors however, therefore you'll have to appreciate the PS4 in black.
While it's smaller compared to the Xbox One, and many would argue much less like a VCR in looks, we get a PS4 for the appearance of video games on the screen instead of the style of the particular console. There aren't any component connection choices, Ethernet, Optical out, just HDMI, Usb and Power ports. You will find 2 USB ports on the front side, and also an auxiliary port on the rear. There's no chance to link an external hard disk on the USB ports. There's simply no IR port so you cannot manage the PS4 thanks to a universal remote for viewing Tv programs or maybe movies.
Among the PS4 design points that we do value is the slide off panel which allows users change the hard disk with 1 of the choosing of theirs to increase the storage space. The PS4 ships with a 500GB hard disk that provides aproximatelly 400GB of storage for setting up games. Every PS4 game installs on the hard disk, with between thirty and 40GB of space necessary for a game as Assassin's Creed IV or maybe Killzone Shadow Fall. Owners are able to purchase games on disc and after that swap or maybe sell them later or even buy virtually all PS4 video games on the PlayStation Store on release day for the very same price tag. Games install fast and I that way I can begin playing single player games instantly.
The brand new PS4 software is simple to navigate and there's no lag switching between the different game and menu options. Tap the PlayStation button to head to the home screen from virtually any screen or game. Coming out of the Xbox 360 as well as the Xbox this's an easy and simplistic to navigate design. The PS4 system updates download in the record, the same as game updates, each of which let me continue playing with no waiting and awaiting updates. After decades of awaiting updates to have fun with video games on the Xbox 360 this's an extremely pleasant change.
You will find an assortment of PS4 apps readily available to get into entertainment like Netflix, others, Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Video. The PS4 may well not provide exactly the same degree of connected entertainment as the Xbox One, although essentials can be found for the majority of people and also people who require much more can invest the extra ninety nine dolars for an Apple Tv or maybe device that is similar. The single main lacking function for a few users will be the failure to play CDs, but that's not a problem for me. The PS4 is used by me to play games and sometimes watch a movie. I've 3 different ways to listen to the music of mine in the living room of mine.
The DualShock four controller is brand new for the PS4. This's larger plus more refined compared to the PS2 and PS3 controllers. I attempted to love the PS3 controller in years past, and also may never ever obtain comfortable playing together with the DualShock controller regardless of how long I tried.
The DualShock four controller is much easier to keep and use for lengthy periods of gaming. It's comparable adequate to the Xbox 360 controller that I'm accustomed to gaming with. A fantastic job with the PS4 controller was done by Sony. In case you have stayed away from earlier PlayStations due to the controller it's time to head to a retailer and also have a second look, it's that great.
The DualShock four controller has a brand new light that developers are able to relate to the game, to flash in case you're in danger and as another signal. There's additionally a little speaker in controller which can push specific in game audio to users.
There's additionally a touchpad on the PS4 controller. Although it is a really neat feature, I was suspicious of this. In Killzone Shadowfall this controls the virtual sidekick of yours. Swipe up, down, left or even right to change what the drone does. On Assassin's creed you are able to tap this to take up a chart. It's a breeze to tap on than looking for a button. I enjoy this feature and count on just how this's integrated into new PS4 games.
The PS4 controller has a Share button which allows users record fifteen minutes of gameplay and talk about it on Facebook, or maybe stream the gaming live to uStream and Twitch. The PS4 records the final fifteen minutes of gameplay at all the times, therefore you do not have to shoot before you do something fantastic. The live stream is able to use the PlayStation Eye and also allows users to comment on the game of yours which pop up on the screen as you enjoy. Me personally I discover the sharing much more helpful than streaming as I'm not an expert gamer by any means, though the social aspects are a pleasant touch.
I didn't buy the PlayStation Camera which can communicate with the controller for other features and the PlayRoom as I do not feel it provides sufficient use for the sixty dolars price. I spent money on the Xbox Camera which was a glorified webcam and then used it 4 times. I am going to wait for games to make use of this fully before purchasing one.
The PS4 controller additionally packs in an amazing feature we wish was standard on every system. There's a regular 3.5mm headphone jack on the controller. You can plug in the included any headphones or mono headphone you have. This is not merely for chat either. In case you plug in headphones you are able to router all audio on the controller. What this means is there's no need to purchase an expensive third party wireless headset. Simply plug in a good set of headset on the controller and also you receive talk and game audio all in a single. And also this signifies you are able to switch on a film and watch in bed with headset plugged into the controller without annoying anyone.
The PS4 video games look good on the PS4, even though the big difference between Necessity for Speed Rivals and Assassin's Creed IV on the PS3 and the PS4 might be small, Killzone stands out as an instance of exactly what the PS4 is capable of, thought he Killzone Shadow Fall gameplay isn't as powerful as the majority of first person shooters.
This particular time around PS4 gamers will require a PlayStation Plus membership to have fun with video games online. The PS4 has a thirty day trial and many launch games consist of a 7 day trial to help you started. A year costs 1dolar1 49.99, although there are several deals being discovered. As an Xbox gamer I see this as the cost of participating in a console on the internet and one I factor into the price so there's zero complaint here. The PlayStation Plus membership comes with a chance to access games that are free.
Even though the launch lineup of games is quite small, and also many folks might not find pictures which are immensely better compared to the Xbox or PS3 360, the PS4 is an asset for the greater part of any decade, and also we ought to see video games that use the brand new graphics more efficiently in early 2014. In case you would like to hold back until then to purchase a PS4 you will not overlook very much, but do not let talk associated with a tiny launch lineup convince you the PS4 isn't really worth purchasing at all.
General the PS4 is an excellent console for users and gamers who would like a chance to access better looking games, a vastly improved controller and additionally apps to stream video. The games are prepared to play quicker compared to on the Xbox One as well as the interface is easier than the ceramic tiles used by Microsoft. Sony has a winner, especially considering the 1dolar1 399 price, but will continue to face challenging getting Xbox 360 users to switch and also leave behind a pal's guidelines made in place over many years of internet gaming.
For the time actually being I am still purchasing the majority of the multiplayer games of mine on Xbox One since the friends of mine are not buying 2 consoles and enough aren't changing from Xbox to PS4 which I in case I wish to play them I have to utilize the Xbox One. This might be the largest hurdle for Sony to get over with the PS4.
You are perhaps a bit uncertain about the entire point in case you are like me when I initially located out about this particular mothod. Don't stress, when you've really finished looking over this page you'll have seen proof and evidence that you really can get a Playstation four at no cost!

News brief: Iranian drones in Ukraine, Ga. midterms, Biden's speech on abortion
By Rachel Martin,
Over the past 10 days, Russia has effectively opened up a new front in its war against Ukraine.
The Russians are attacking with long-range airstrikes, including drones, directed at civilian targets in cities across Ukraine.
MARTINEZ: NPR national security correspondent Greg Myre is following these developments. Greg, Russia is again pounding Ukraine with these air attacks. I mean, how bad did it get?
GREG MYRE, BYLINE: Well, it's continued this morning. Russia is hitting civilian targets in several Ukrainian cities, far from the front lines, on Tuesday morning. This includes the capital, Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials and media reports. So far, the most significant damage seems to be in the east-central city of Dnipro, where electricity stations have been hit, causing power outages. And just recently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has taken to Twitter. He says Russia has destroyed fully 30% of Ukrainian power stations since they began this round of attacks, and it's causing widespread blackouts. And he went on to say that, quote, "there's no space left for negotiations" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
MARTINEZ: You know, Russia has fired missiles throughout this war, but these latest attacks have featured drones. Why use drones, and why now?
MYRE: Well, Russia received these drones from Iran a couple months ago, according to U.S. information. And these came amid indication that Russia was running low on its own stocks of long-range weapons. And we saw on Monday, Russia unleashed what appeared to be the largest such drone attack yet, firing more than 40 of these so-called kamikaze drones, and most were aimed at Kyiv. Now, the Russians are targeting heating and electricity plants that the Ukrainians will obviously need this winter. Residential buildings are also being hit. And we can't stress enough that most, if not all, these targets are civilian targets, not military targets.
MARTINEZ: Ukraine's air defenses, how is it coping with these attacks?
MYRE: Well, these Iranian drones have some drawbacks. They're noisy. They're often described as being like lawn mowers or mopeds from people on the ground who can hear them. They fly at relatively low altitudes and slow speeds, often just a little over a hundred miles an hour. So Ukraine's air defenses, which have exceeded expectations throughout the war, are having success in shooting many of them down. Ukraine said it shut down 37 of 43 drones on Monday. But when dozens of drones are coming in, a few get through and cause damage and deaths. Four people were reported killed on Monday.
Now, Ukraine has been pleading for more air defense systems throughout the war. The U.S. and other NATO countries are now promising to send some, including some very advanced systems. But they're not there yet.
MARTINEZ: What are the chances, though, that this Russian approach might change conditions on the battlefield?
MYRE: Well, right now the general consensus is that it won't. In fact, many analysts are saying that Russia is doing this precisely because they've been doing so poorly on the battlefield. They're looking - some way to gain an advantage. But, you know, that said, the attacks do terrorize civilians in the cities in central and western Ukraine that haven't really been hit since the early days of the war, and Russia's goal appears to be making life as difficult as possible for Ukrainian civilian. But it's just not clear that this will improve Russian forces on the front lines.
MARTINEZ: That's NPR's Greg Myre. Greg, thanks.
MYRE: My pleasure.
MARTINEZ: All right, early voting is now underway in Georgia. And last night, Republican Governor Brian Kemp and his Democratic challenger, Stacey Abrams, met on a debate stage in Atlanta.
STACEY ABRAMS: Mr. Kemp, what you are attempting to do is continue the lie that you've told so many times I think you believe it's the truth.
BRIAN KEMP: I will remind you that Stacey Abrams campaigned to be Joe Biden's running mate.
MARTIN: The race is a rematch of 2018, when Kemp narrowly beat Abrams. But much has changed since then.
MARTINEZ: Sam Gringlas of WABE in Atlanta has been following this race, traveling around the state and also talking to voters and the candidates. Sam, Abrams versus Kemp feels like one of those old heavyweight boxing rivalries. So last night, did they slug it out, or was the debate maybe more of a skills clinic?
SAM GRINGLAS, BYLINE: Well, Kemp and Abrams have basically been each other's archnemesis for over four years now, and so, yeah, they did not hesitate to spar back and forth. But they also both really know the ins and outs of state government, so overall, this debate was pretty substantive and at times kind of wonky. There was this one moment that got a little bit heated. The candidates were talking about a law Kemp signed allowing people to carry handguns without a permit.
KEMP: Well, there is a...
DONNA LOWRY: Thirty seconds.
KEMP: ...Thorough background check on every individual that buys a firearm in the United States.
ABRAMS: That is not true.
KEMP: Well...
ABRAMS: Mr. Kemp, if you purchase...
KEMP: None...
ABRAMS: ...A weapon in Georgia through gun sale or a private sale...
KEMP: Well. Ms. Abrams, I haven't...
ABRAMS: ...Through gun sale or private sale, you are not subject...
KEMP: I have not...
LOWRY: All right, we are going to have to move on.
GRINGLAS: And we did have a bit of news. Kemp was asked if he'd support any laws further restricting abortion beyond the roughly 6-week ban he'd already signed, and he said no and quickly pivoted to inflation.
MARTINEZ: Now, Kemp beat Abrams by about 55,000 votes four years ago, but, Sam, a lot has changed since then.
GRINGLAS: Well, more than 1.6 million new voters have registered in Georgia since 2018. Kemp is now an incumbent with a long conservative legislative record. And Abrams has become a global celebrity, buoyed in part by her role activating new voters and helping turn Georgia blue in 2020. But unlike the last midterms, when a blue wave kind of swept across the country, Trump is not in the White House, and the current occupant, Joe Biden, has approval ratings that are underwater. The country is different, too. States like Georgia have drastically curbed access to abortion. And persistent inflation is driving up costs of groceries and gas.
MARTINEZ: All right. Now, both candidates are fighting to not only turn out their voters but also speak to people who might be on the fence, and that battle might be most pronounced in Atlanta suburbs where you, Sam, have spent a lot of time lately. What have you found out?
GRINGLAS: Well, a big question that's hanging over these midterms in Georgia and, frankly, around the country is how many suburban voters who helped propel Biden into office will stick with Democrats now. I met a woman named Krista Wagner, who voted for Trump in 2016 and then Biden in 2020. But her flip to the Democrats, it was not permanent. She's voting Republican for governor. And she says her concerns about inflation outweigh her opposition to that restrictive abortion law that Kemp signed.
KRISTA WAGNER: I'm upset with that, but I'm also really worried financially. I know that there are other states that will keep it. If there's ever a woman who needed my help, I'd take her there.
GRINGLAS: Now, a million new residents have arrived in Georgia over the last decade, many of them people of color, settling in metro Atlanta. So the suburbs will probably keep trending toward Democrats in the future, but right now Georgia's elections are decided by such slim margins that even small shifts can shape the outcome of these races.
MARTINEZ: Sam Gringlas is WABE's politics reporter. Sam, thanks.
GRINGLAS: Thanks so much.
MARTINEZ: President Biden is scheduled to make what the White House is billing as a major speech later today about abortion rights.
MARTIN: Yeah. So the big question is whether abortion is going to motivate Democrats to the polls, even though voting is already underway in some states.
MARTINEZ: We're going to pose that question and more to our senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro. All right, so what are the details of today's speech, and why is the White House saying that President Biden is focusing on this now?
DOMENICO MONTANARO, BYLINE: Well, the White House says this is part of the ongoing effort by the president and the administration to try and call attention to, quote, "an assault on access" to women's health care by Republican officials. And he'll likely talk about federal and state attempts at restricting abortion rights. You know, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been out there talking about this issue plenty over the last several months, but it's no coincidence that this is coming exactly three weeks to go until ballots have to be cast in these midterm elections, and abortion rights are playing a pretty prominent role all across the country.
MARTINEZ: All right, so how has abortion rights been used in these elections that - and has that focus made a difference?
MONTANARO: Yeah, I mean, it's really changed so much in these elections. It's become Democrats' sharpest line of attack against Republicans since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in June, which overturned Roe and - that had guaranteed the right to an abortion in this country. It's been so salient for Democrats because people were overwhelmingly opposed to the outright overturning of Roe.
Now, we have seen Republicans and Democrats take some liberties in ads in many places. They're accusing the other of being extremists. And if you follow these ads, it seems like every candidate either wants no restrictions or no exceptions, even when that's actually not true in lots of cases. But overall, the divide is pretty clear between most Democrats and Republicans. And for Democrats, it's really been energizing. You know, they've seen huge sums of money and activism go into campaigns and a big surge of enthusiasm. When you combine that with how much Republicans were already fired up with them out of power, all signs here are really pointing to a record turnout for this midterm election.
MARTINEZ: I know polls can be tough to trust, but they do continue to show that Americans list inflation as their top concern. So could Democratic candidates then be making a mistake in leaning too much into the abortion messaging?
MONTANARO: Yeah, and that's pretty consistent across the board, and it's something that has worried some Democrats, especially in those swing districts. People like Elissa Slotkin, congresswoman in Michigan, have tried to make a point of talking about what she and other Democrats have done, and here's something she said in a recent debate about that.
ELISSA SLOTKIN: I authored a bill that said we should suspend the federal gas tax, pressured the president to open up the strategic national reserves because gas under - the price of gas underlies so much of that inflation. And then taking costs off people's books - right? - passing prescription drug legislation that starts in January that lowers the price of insulin, of drugs in general, for anyone on Medicare. So it's not perfect. If there was a silver bullet on inflation, it would have been fired.
MONTANARO: Yeah, so there's the problem there is that it's difficult to make a positive case on inflation when there aren't easy fixes. And Democrats control the White House and Congress. We know presidents get far more credit and far more blame for the economy than they deserve. And people are in a very sour mood right now. Seventy percent of people in our last poll said that the country is headed in the wrong direction. And voters are saying they trust Republicans more on the economy. That makes it much easier for Republicans to simply blame Democrats, especially in those swing districts, most of which are in center-right places.
MARTINEZ: That's NPR's Domenico Montanaro. Thanks a lot.
MONTANARO: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Apple admits to slower performance in iOS web apps [Updated]
March 17, 2011 - 11:46 pm
Brad McCarty

You might remember a few days ago that we reported slower performance from web-based applications in iOS as opposed to those launched directly from Mobile Safari. Now, Apple has confirmed the problem.
In a statement to The Register, Apple has stated that "the embedded web viewer does not take advantage of Safari's web performance optimizations." As a result, any application that is not launched from within Safari will not take advantage of Apple's Nitro JavaScript engine.
The newest information that we have came from earlier today. Blaze Software has produced a set of tests which show the speed differences between Android's and iOS browser loading in depth. While in most cases, the differences of a page's load time will be less than 1 second, it is still significant as to the end result affecting the rest of the applications. It's worth mentioning, though, that in Blaze's test case it was an external browser launch that performed the test, which would fall under the issue Apple is now addressing.
What's interesting is that, even though Apple has stated a full support for Web applications, including HTML5, these most recent findings do not appear to provide an equal ground for testing. As a result of Apple's work, applications that are not launched from within Mobile Safari will perform slower, thereby appearing to be of lower quality than a "native" app.
The question that remains is whether this is an oversight on the part of Apple, or whether it is quietly intentional. With the company's stand against Flash, an open standard of HTML5 should be its next logical thing to support. But if it doesn't fix the problem in future versions of iOS, that leads a hefty credence to the rumor mill.
Update: Over at Daring Fireball, we get a more in-depth explanation of a reason why things could be set up as they are at present:
The real answer is about security. Perhaps the biggest reason for Nitro's performance improvements over WebKit's previous JavaScript engine is the use of a JIT — "Just-In-Time" compilation… A JIT requires the ability to mark memory pages in RAM as executable, but, iOS, as a security measure, does not allow pages in memory to be marked as executable. This is a significant and serious security policy. Most modern operating systems do allow pages in memory to be marked as executable — including Mac OS X, Windows, and (I believe) Android1. iOS 4.3 makes an exception to this policy, but the exception is specifically limited to Mobile Safari.

The NYCHA public housing in Red Hook is the largest NYCHA development in Brooklyn, and the second largest in New York City. It is where the overwhelming majority of Red Hook residents live.
The NYCHA footprint has many Red Hook WaterStories associated with it since it is largely located where there were tide mill ponds, waterfront-related businesses, the work history of many of the residents over the years, and the great damage done by hurricane Sandy.
This is from a presentation made to the Red Hook community as part of a process seeking community input.
The resiliency upgrades planned by NYCHA will provide great improvements to residents of the development and benefit Red Hook as a whole.

Cases of flight attendant and Kentucky court clerk raise issue of accommodating religion in the workplace
By Maine Employee Rights Group
A Muslim flight attendant recently filed an employment discrimination complaint against her employer, ExpressJet, because she claimed that it unlawfully refused to accommodate her religious beliefs. The flight attendant, Charee Stanley, claims that it would violate her religious beliefs if she served alcohol to passengers on flights. According to Ms. Stanley, ExpressJet suspended her because she refused to serve alcohol to passengers.
Ms. Stanley claims that before her suspension she had worked out an arrangement with her co-workers, at the direction of her supervisor, where her co-worker would serve alcohol to a passenger, instead of Ms. Stanley, if the passenger ordered an alcoholic beverage. Ms. Stanley says that this arrangement worked just fine until a co-worker complained that Ms. Stanley was not doing her job. This same co-worker allegedly also said in her complaint that Ms. Stanley carried a book with "foreign writings" and wore a headdress.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act requires employers to accommodate the religious beliefs of their employees provided that the accommodation does not create an undue hardship for the employer. Ms. Stanley contends that her requested accommodation would not create an undue hardship for ExpressJet because she and her co-workers were managing just fine until this one co-worker filed a complaint.
"What this case comes down to is no one should have to choose between their career and religion and it's incumbent upon employers to provide a safe environment where employees can feel they can practice their religion freely," said Lena Masri, an attorney with Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Interestingly, this case against ExpressJet is in the news at the same time as the case of the County Clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky. The Clerk, Kim Davis, refused to issue marriage licenses because she claimed it would violate her religious beliefs to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. A federal court held that Ms. Davis' actions violated the constitutional rights of same-sex couples who sought marriage licenses in her office and held her in contempt when she refused to comply with the court's orders.
Ms. Davis' case bears some similarity to Ms. Stanley's but there are also some important differences. First, Ms. Davis refused to permit anyone in her office to issue marriage licenses. Ms. Stanley, on the other hand, did not prevent alcohol from being served to passengers on her flights—she just was not the person who served it. Second, the denial of marriage licenses to same-sex couples infringed on those couples' constitutional rights. The passengers, on the other hand, did not have a constitutional right to be served alcohol on their flights. Third, unlike Ms. Stanley, it does not appear that Ms. Davis asserted that anyone had violated her rights under Title VII. That may have been because Title VII does not provide protections to elected officials and Ms. Davis is an elected official.

Subject: Tune for The Mock Turtle's Song
From: Greum
I am trying to find the name of the tune to which The Mock Turtle's Song from Alice in Wonderland ("Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail) has been set.
The trouble is it seems to have been set to a number of different tunes. The one I'm after is - I believe - either a dance or a processional tune from the north of England.
I have tried Googling all manner of queries without luck. Can anyone help?
Subject: RE: Tune for The Mock Turtle's Song
From: GUEST,Starship
Have you checked the following?
http://www.mlang.name/lewis/carroll-music.html
Thanks @Starship. I hadn't seen that site, but it doesn't seem to help unfortunately.
Dang. Greum, do you have a guesstimate as to the year you first heard the particular melody/tune you're looking for and possibly under what circumstances toy heard it? I presume you said the north of England because of an accent or possibly dancce style. ??
Unfortunately I don't recall when I first heard it.
I believe it's from the north of England because I thought it was called something like Preston Processional (or March, or something) after the name of a Lancashire town.
I think I need to make a recording of the tune so you'll know what I mean. I'll see if I can do that later...
Okay, I've made a very (very) rough recording which I've uploaded here
That would certainly be of assistance to some of the scholars who visit this site. Anything you can add to it will be like chicken soup: It may not help, but it won't hurt. Thanks, Greum.
From: Long Firm Freddie
The tune Greum uploaded is Vandals of Hammerwich, a Lichfield Morris Tradition tune for a dance of the same name.
LFF
Oh cool! Thanks LFF. Not the NE after all, but the Midlands. And not a processional or a march. Oh well, can't be right any of the time! LOL
You're welcome, Greum. The version of Vandals on Morris On does process from one side of the "sound stage" to the other!
Vandals
Haha! I have Son of Morris On and Great-grandson, but not the original. :)
From: Mysha
Erm? Are we talking about the Lobster Quadrille? It's poem, a parody of the Spider and the Fly. But that is itself a poem, without a tune.
Still, I kind of like The Lobster Quadrille, even it maybe doesn't fit the situation too well.
Mysha
Hi Mysha Yes, that's the poem. I gather it goes by both titles. Different tune though.
From: Gibb Sahib
You can try this ;)
https://youtu.be/xV9XnuYo080
From: Snuffy
As an intro to Vandals of Hammerwich, some morris sides sing "
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, come to the ball"
twice before starting to dance
Greum: No, it doesn't actually have a title, but the chapter is titled "The Lobster Quadrille". Having had time to think it over, I have to say that actually it is indeed a song, even if The Spider and the Fly is not. But though the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle speak of "the words" and of "singing", they make no mention of the tune. The movements of the dancers, however, are solemnly, and it's sung slowly and sadly.
Gibb: That seems quite the fit. (I don't like it much, but that's to be expected: I don't think much of that chapter.)
If it's any help, we did "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" as a school play when I was in form 1 (year 7?), back in the mid 60s.
The following is how I remember us doing it.
The transcription is rough and ready as it's totally from memory, some of the repeated notes may be supposed to be 'dotted quaver, semi-quaver' rather than just two quavers.

w: "Will you walk a lit-tle fas-ter?" said a whit-ing to a snail, "There's a por-poise close be-hind us, and he's tread-ing on my tail. See how eag-er-ly the lob-sters and the tur-tles all ad-vance! They are wait-ing on the shin-gle— will you come and join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?
This can be converted to staff notation, or Midi playback by copy/pasting (from "X" to the final "?") into the facility at Mandolintab.net
Mysha,
the above (that I posted) was fast paced. Possibly, although a quadrille would be slow and solemn, the whiting is trying to chivvy the snail along, hence the tempo.
Just my two-pennorth.
I did like the link with it to "Rolling down to old Maui". It must be a Lewis Carroll thing, as I've used that tune in the past for "You are old Father William".
To put in the quote marks for the original words: "The movements of the dancers, however, are 'solemnly', and it's sung 'slowly' and 'sadly'."
Not my words but those of the author.
From: GUEST,keberoxu
I know of two composers' settings.
Alec Wilder, I believe, did the version I heard
sung by Cyril Richard with what sounds like
an ensemble of woodwinds and brass.
Irving Fine (US educated in Europe)
wrote a setting for mixed chorus and piano.

By Leslie Combemale
Hulu's limited biographical series The Dropout, which stars Amanda Seyfried as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, has been getting rave reviews for both Seyfried's performance and for its sharp take on the shocking real-life story of corporate and personal hubris. The show follows Holmes from her beginnings as an ambitious college student with Steve Jobs as her role model, through her attempts to develop healthcare technology, and then to her astonishingly fast rise to fame and fortune as CEO of a billion-dollar company. If you know anything about the Holmes story, you know she's a modern Icarus, and her story, at least for now, ends in disgrace and indictments after putting millions of patients at risk with faulty medical tests.
When showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether chose Anne Nikitin to score The Dropout, the composer set out to create a musical counterpart to the almost mythic rise and fall of Holmes, determined to capture the ex-CEO's energy and ambition, as well as the varied perspectives of those in her inner and outer circles. Nikitin chose to create her first entirely inorganic, all-electronic score and found the challenge exciting as an artist.
Anne Nikitin.
The Credits spoke to Nikitin about her process, and how she took inspiration from Holmes and the real-world cautionary tale of how ambition and optimism led to the downfall of a billion-dollar company.
This is your first all synth score. What, apart from it being the first, was your biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge, I suppose, was coming up with the sound of the show. It didn't start off being a synth score. I just had some time to mess around, and the first idea was to have strings and organic instruments for part of the score and some of the themes, and then use synth sounds whenever Elizabeth is in the lab or doing her thing duping people. But luckily I had quite a lot of time at the beginning of the series to play around with ideas, and I came up with one track that was just purely synth-based, called "Beijing," and I thought, 'Oh, this is a bit weird. It's a bit kooky and quirky, but I'm going to throw it at them.' Liz, the showrunner said, 'This is it. This is the one.' So that's how it came about, but it was sort of getting to that point that was probably the biggest challenge, and then after that, it seemed to go quite smoothly.
You knew as much about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos as the rest of us when you started. What did you learn in the course of the project that impacted or influenced the direction of the score?
I did quite a bit of research on her, and I realized she was just living this lie. I think she'd got herself into a little bit of a muddle and couldn't get out of it. It just exploded like we've never seen before. It was insane. When we decided that synths were working for her, it all sort of made sense. None of the organic music was working for her. It just seemed that her life was synthetic, and the music should reflect that as well.

Ian is drawn into Elizabeth's lawsuit against Richard. Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried) and Sunny Balwani (Naveen Andrews), shown. (Photo by: Beth Dubber/Hulu)
What was the advantage you felt not being a synth-head in creating the score?
I was intimidated a little bit by the idea that I wasn't going to be clutching onto a sound that I'm used to, which is the organic instruments, but I think the advantage was that I didn't have a lot of knowledge and baggage. I just decided that I would let go of everything, not care what anybody thinks or says, not have this analog-digital war going in my head, and just play around with sounds. I had the luxury of time at the beginning of the show to just find the sounds and synths that really worked for me. Some of the sounds were pure digital sounds, and other sounds were made trying to find the digital versions of the organic sounds. For example, a cowbell, snare drum, or woodblock, having the synth versions of them so they don't sound real. And that was, again, trying to just make the score represent Elizabeth Holmes, that nothing is real, although it may appear to be so.

Holmes goes through quite an arc in the show, and there are several moments of really high intensity or joy, and a lot of darkness, too. Your score weaves through an emotional quality and a sort of sterility. What were the conversations around some of those cues?
Those were long conversations with Liz. She didn't want to play the emotional component too much. We mustn't feel sorry for this woman for more than we need to, but we also have to realize that she is human. I think she had dreams and aspirations as well as insane ambition, but I think she was really passionate about science, and the first time she enters this lab, a proper working lab, it's like a future is coming before her eyes. My cue for that is called "The Lab." I tried to create a sort of magical fantasy cue with that, just to show how passionate she really was, but then creating a whole sterile world and masking the emotion and pulling the viewer out of that to remind them that actually, we can't feel sorry for this driven woman. She knew what she was doing.
What were the discussions around each episode having a character of its own, in terms of how you structured the music accordingly?
We had conversations before every cut I was sent about what each episode was representing, and where the music should lean. For example, there's one episode with the Walgreens men, and we decided we wanted something that harkened back to 70s music. I used a drum kit there, manipulated, but there's a sort of beat there to represent them. I tried to come up with distinctive characters for each episode.
There's another one with the whistleblower in Episode 6 where there's real darkness. I tried to give her a theme that starts off light and bright. She's bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when she enters Theranos, then she discovers what's happening. I tried to give her some sort of quirky instruments to highlight how excited she is, then those quirky instruments start to just become really weird as she understands that nothing is what it seems.
What cue in The Dropout would you say best expresses your aesthetic as a composer?
I've always loved percussion, and love writing unusual rhythms, and having that in all of my scores, so I tried to do that with the synths, and that's quite easy. Synths pulse. That's what they do a lot of the time, so it was natural to have that pulsing sensation all the time. Actually, this has really opened my eyes to the versatility of using only an all synth score, because before, I thought for emotion you needed to have strings, or you needed to have a piano, or have loads of reverb. With synths, I actually had limitations, which I love. I love limitations. Being forced to work with just one palette was really fun, and it actually made me realize how versatile synths can be.
The Dropout is currently streaming on Hulu. The series finale is now streaming.

Keith the Electrician
Head of the Team, Keith Rees-Murray TMIET, with over 30 years experience doing this job!
Everybody knows that you will either speak to myself, or Amanda, when you call us, but all you really know about me is that I'm an electrician. But what you possibly don't know is that I have been trained locally and have stayed local in this area as a teenager to my present age, which changed a few days ago for 42 years…good grief where has that time gone?
I first started as an apprentice back in 1983, on the pre-apprentice electrical course at St Austell College, on the Palace Road site, just down the road from St Austell Brewery, I can smell the hops now…ohh…a nice pint of Tribute…sorry diverting my train of thought! As part of this course we had to get regular work experience, un paid for the next twelve months, as this was a full time course. I made contact with Derek Elliot, based in Narkurs, not too far from my family home, in the valley between Hessenford and Castle motors. At the end of the first year I was then taken on as a full time apprentice, completing in 1987.
Moving forward many years I met Amanda, who was a Primary school Teacher, who decided that it was a good idea to take me off the market and marry me in 1998…poor girl!
I have studied a martial art attaining the rank of Nidan.
Helped locally with Liskeard Christmas Lights from 2007-2015.
Put the banners up for the Olympics in 2012.
Donations and help with Cancer research, Macmillan cancer, Cornwall Air Ambulance and St Lukes.
Having had my head shaved for Macmillan, by my great Niece, back in 2016…since then it keep leaving my head! Doing the Men's day for St Lukes on my own to having my good friends join in…except some one mentioned dressing up…and making the front cover of St Lukes fund raising picture to show how much was raised on the day.
Yes I can do some silly things for local charities, but I also have a serious side having lost most of my adoptive family to cancer.
Amanda the Business Manager
In a previous life I was a primary school teacher for 30 years. Five years ago I left the "hamster wheel of education" and started working for Krp Electrical Ltd. Working for Keith is a lot less stressful believe it or not ! I get paid for "nagging my husband" on your behalf!
I've had to learn a whole new skill set relating to the running of the business – not just the technical side but also wrangling builders, plumbers, suppliers and other trades…akin to nailing jelly to a wall sometimes! I also get to deal with some very lovely clients…so the chances are, it will be me you speak to when you contact the office or you may see me on site visits.
Keith and I have been together for nearly a quarter of a century and married for most of that!
However, there other loves in my life…
I've studied and performed middle eastern dance for 20 years and now teach it. I belong to a community choir and enjoy my time spent at Sterts Theatre as part of the company, volunteer team and audience.
Keith and I undertake some local charity work too on a regular basis.
So when I'm not in the office or being a "domestic goddess"(ha!), I'm probably doing something arty or hiding out in my "she-shed"on my allotment.

How many times have you left the terminal to search the web for a coding solution?
Whether it is the Python dict comprehension, a CSS Flexbox property, sed command syntax or the order of commits during git squash.
Today I learned about the AMAZING howdoi command line tool.
It quickly scrapes code from StackOverflow top answers and outputs the solution in your terminal.
You can change the source url for answers, the underline search engine and even colorize the output.


The same strategy can be applied for sources as well. In the next example we have a source that produces an infinite stream of elements. Such source can be tested by asserting that first arbitrary number of elements hold some condition. Here the grouped combinator and Sink.head are very useful.
One of the more straightforward tests would be to materialize stream to a Future and then use pipe pattern to pipe the result of that future to the probe.

Q: What does an "X" on the top of a folder mean? Image shown I was transferring data from my Windows USB flash drive to my new MacBook Pro. Apparently one of the folders copied now looks like this:

What does this mean? I would think that this displayed the copy progress however the folder has remained like this for a while now.

A: What fixed it for me was right clicking on the folder and then choosing Get Info. That removed the 'x' and the progress bar. I think this is a bug in OS X El Capitan.

A: It's the "how much has been copied" icon and so far, there's not much by the look of it. Though it can get stuck on occasion.
Restarting Finder or rebooting—if you're sure it really has finished—can clear it.

Deep Medicine (DMAQ) Terminates Chijet Motor Company Deal
by Marlena Haddad on 2022-09-30 at 9:06am
Deep Medicine (NASDAQ:DMAQ) announced this morning that it has terminated its $2.5 billion combination with Chinese carmaker Chijet.
Deep Medicine's move comes after it made two amendments to the deal to extend the due diligence period. The first amendment was made on September 6, to extend Chijet's due diligence period until September 20, in an effort to review the company's operations and complete its own valuation of the Chinese carmaker. On September 16, the parties entered into the second amendment to extend the diligence expiration date until September 30. However, on September 26, Deep Medicine sent Chijet a termination notice.
The deal included a minimum cash condition of at least $10 million. Deep Medicine brought about $127.8 million from its current trust into the deal and did not supplement this with a PIPE.
Deep Medicine and Chijet mark the 45th deal to be terminated this year. The SPAC will not be obligated to pay any penalties pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement as a result of the termination.
Deep Medicine initially announced its definitive agreement to combine with Chijet just a few months ago on July 13, 2022. Chijit currently sells a line of gasoline-fueled SUVs and trucks in China and Southeast Asia and is working to build a production facility for a new line of EVs.

GRAND CANYON, Ariz. —The 28th annual Grand Canyon Star Party will be held June 9-16 on the South and North Rims of Grand Canyon National Park.
National parks such as Grand Canyon are protective havens for some of the last remaining dark skies in this country. Two years ago, Grand Canyon National Park announced that it received Provisional International Dark Sky Park status through the International Dark-Sky Association. This provisional status gives the park three years to retrofit two-thirds of the lights in the park to be night-sky friendly. This year, we celebrate our continuing efforts to preserve this precious dark sky sanctuary while counting down both to Grand Canyon National Park's 100th birthday and full International Dark Sky Park status in 2019.
This event is sponsored by the National Park Service, the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association (South Rim), and the Saguaro Astronomy Club of Phoenix (North Rim), with funding from Grand Canyon Association and in partnership with the International Dark-Sky Association. Amateur astronomers from across the country will volunteer their telescopes and expertise for the enjoyment of park visitors. Numerous telescopes will offer views of planets Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars, as well as double stars, star clusters, nebulae and distant galaxies-and the Moon, later in the week. By day, keep an eye out for solar telescopes pointed at the sun. Weather permitting, expect spectacular views of the universe.
On the South Rim, events include a nightly slide show at 8 p.m. in the Grand Canyon Visitor Center theater, followed by free telescope viewing behind the building. Green-laser Constellation Tours will be offered at 9, 9:30 and 10 p.m. Parking is available in Lots 1 through 4 (Lot 4 is accessible), or arrive by the free, accessible Village Route shuttle bus, which runs until 11 p.m. To guarantee a seat at the slide show, arrive early; doors open at 7:40 p.m. and the theater has limited capacity. Telescope viewing is best after 9 pm and continues well into the night; visitors may arrive any time after dark. A flashlight is recommended for the walk to the viewing area, but white lights are not permitted on the Telescope Lot. Give your eyes time to dark-adapt, or use a red flashlight, easily made by covering any flashlight with red cellophane, nail polish, or permanent marker.
On the North Rim, telescopes will be set up on the terrace of the Grand Canyon Lodge every evening. Astronomers will also use green lasers to point out constellations. An astronomy slide show will be presented at 8 p.m. nightly in the lodge auditorium. By day, look for solar telescopes on the terrace and elsewhere. Check the Visitor Center and park bulletin boards for program topics and additional details.
Nighttime temperatures on both rims can be quite cool, even in summer. Those attending the star party are encouraged to bring warm layers of clothing. When traveling in the park on the South Rim, it is best to find a parking space and use the free shuttle bus system to access points of interest in the Grand Canyon Village area. Visitors should also be aware of ongoing road construction projects in the park. All services and facilities are open and accessible but, visitors should add a few minutes to their driving time and follow detour signs, flaggers, and temporary stop lights.

Q: Does model.fit() reset metrics after each epoch? How to reset metrics manually? As far as I understand, model.fit(epochs=NUM_EPOCHS) does not reset metrics for each epoch. My code for metrics and model.fit() looks like this (simplified):
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import applications

NUM_CLASSES = 4
INPUT_SHAPE = (256, 256, 3)
MODELS = {
    'DenseNet121': applications.DenseNet121,
    'DenseNet169': applications.DenseNet169
}
REDUCE_LR_PATIENCE = 2
REDUCE_LR_FACTOR = 0.7
EARLY_STOPPING_PATIENCE = 4

for modelName, model in MODELS.items():

    loadedModel = model(include_top=False, weights='imagenet',
                        pooling='avg', input_shape=INPUT_SHAPE)

    sequentialModel = tf.keras.models.Sequential()
    sequentialModel.add(loadedModel)
    sequentialModel.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(NUM_CLASSES, activation='softmax'))

    aucCurve = tf.keras.metrics.AUC(curve = 'ROC', multi_label = True)
    categoricalAccuracy = tf.keras.metrics.CategoricalAccuracy()
    F1Score  = tfa.metrics.F1Score(num_classes = NUM_CLASSES, average = 'macro', threshold = None)
    metrics = [aucCurve, categoricalAccuracy, F1Score]

    sequentialModel.compile(metrics=metrics)

    callbacks = [
    tf.keras.callbacks.ReduceLROnPlateau(monitor='val_loss', patience=REDUCE_LR_PATIENCE, verbose=1, factor=REDUCE_LR_FACTOR),
    tf.keras.callbacks.EarlyStopping(monitor='val_loss', verbose=1, patience=EARLY_STOPPING_PATIENCE),
    tf.keras.callbacks.ModelCheckpoint(filepath=modelName + '_epoch-{epoch:02d}.h5', monitor='val_loss', save_best_only=False, verbose=1),
    tf.keras.callbacks.CSVLogger(modelName + '_training.csv')]

    sequentialModel.fit(epochs=NUM_EPOCHS)

Perhaps I can reset metrics by doing a for loop in range of NUM_EPOCHS and initialize the metrics in a for loop, but I am not sure if it is a good solution. Also, I have ModelCheckpoint and CSVLogger callbacks, which require an epoch number from model.fit(), so it won't really work if I do a for loop.
Do you have any suggestions on how to reset metrics for each epoch? Is doing a for loop in range of NUM_EPOCHS the only solution here? Thank you.

A: No, metrics are calculated per epoch. They are not averaged over the epochs but they are rather averaged over the batches per epoch. You see that the metrics keep improving epoch after epoch because your model is getting trained.

A 35-year-old woman with long-lasting accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) exhibited palpitation and dyspnea on exertion and mild left ventricular (LV) dysfunction during followup. Symptoms appeared 10 years after the AIVR was first noted, and she underwent catheter ablation for curative therapy of AIVR after 12 years. Radiofrequency ablation of the anteroseptal site of the LV at the earliest activation terminated rhythm. An echocardiogram, taken 1 month after discharge, subsequently revealed that the left ventricular wall motion had normalized. This is a rare case of long-lasting AIVR with mild LV dysfunction.
Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) is a ventricular rhythm consisting of three or more consecutive monomorphic beats with 50–100 beats per minute. AIVR emerges and terminates gradually. It generally manifests in acute myocardial infarction, digitalis toxicity, and valvular disease [1–3]. In particular, in patients with acute myocardial infarction, AIVR is often observed during reperfusion or within two days after the onset. It is rarely observed in patients with normal hearts. We experienced a case with AIVR that lasted for more than 12 years without heart disease.
This 35-year-old woman had been informed of electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities that showed continuous idioventricular rhythm (heart rate 75 bpm) after a physical examination at age 23. Subsequently, similar ECG findings were noted during routine annual medical examinations. From the age of 32, she became aware of palpitation and dyspnea on exertion. Beta-blockers were ineffective. At age 35, the ECG showed AIVR, with a heart rate of 103 bpm and a QRS width of 100ms (Figure 1(a)), and Holter ECG revealed that the AIVR persisted throughout the day (heart rate 87–147/min, mean heart rate 108/min). Transthoracic echocardiography showed mild left ventricular dysfunction, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 51% and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVDd) of 51 mm. During the treadmill exercise test (TET), the AIVR rate gradually increased to 160/min, and the ECG after the exercise showed only a few beats with atrioventricular conduction beats and a QRS width of 80 ms (Figure 1(b)). The TET was terminated at nine minutes due to dyspnea. She was referred to undergo catheter ablation for drug-refractory AIVR.
(a) The baseline 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) in the supine position shows accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) without atrioventricular conduction. The arrows indicate the P wave. (b) The ECG in the standing position immediately after exercise. The waveforms of limb leads in the standing position differ from those in the supine position.
After obtaining informed consent from the patient, the electrophysiological study and catheter ablation were performed. Multipolar electrode catheters were positioned at the high right atrium (HRA), His bundle recording area, and the right ventricular apex (RVA), via the right femoral vein. One 4 mm tip deflectable 7 Fr catheter (Navister) was inserted via the right femoral artery for mapping and ablation. We found constant atrioventricular conduction during HRA pacing (cycle length 650 ms). The AIVR was not terminated by rapid RVA pacing. The activation map of the left ventricle (LV) during AIVR using an electroanatomical mapping system (CARTO, Biosense-Webster) revealed the focus of the AIVR (Figure 2(b)) at the anteroseptal site of the LV (Figure 2(a)). RF energy application (power of 30 W with a target temperature of 55°C) at the site of the earliest activation was successful in terminating the rhythm (Figure 3). The patient was restored to sinus rhythm immediately, and tachycardia was not inducible at the end of the study. An echocardiogram, taken 1 month after discharge, revealed that the left ventricular wall motion was normalized, LVEF of 63% and LVDd of 47 mm, and TET was performed for 14 minutes without symptoms. The patient had no recurrence of tachycardia during followup up to 6 months.

The unipolar recording exhibited a QS pattern. (b) The intracardiac electrogram during the RF delivery. The RF current interrupted the AIVR.
We have encountered cases of mild heart dysfunction and symptoms in patients with long-lasting AIVR. The QRS waveforms of AIVR show a broader QRS width than sinus rhythm. Ventricular automaticity usually occurs at 30–40 beats/min. AIVR is clearly faster than ventricular automaticity and obviously slower than ventricular tachycardia. The definition of heart rate has been reported differently [1]. In this case, the heart rate was 87–147 bpm and which was obviously faster than ventricular automaticity, and the QRS width was broader than the sinus rhythm by 100 ms. The ECG had shown abnormal findings for the past 12 years. Thus, this case was diagnosed as AIVR lasting for more than 12 years. The mechanism of AIVR is unknown. The rhythms appear frequently in the early stage of acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, they might be the result of enhanced automaticity in abnormal Purkinje fibers [4]. The rhythm begins gradually with long-coupling ventricular beats. The main electrophysiological mechanism is considered to be due to abnormal calcium-dependent automatism in the Purkinje fibers [4]. The site of origin appears to be in the region of the anterior fascicle and there is a potential on the ablation catheter at the successful site. Some cases are ameliorated by treatment with a beta blocker [4].
AIVR usually manifests in acute myocardial infarction, digitalis toxicity, and valvular disease [1–3]. It is rarely seen in patients with normal hearts. AIVR is an essentially benign and self-limited condition [2, 3, 5]. There have been some cases that required medication [5] and none that required catheter ablation, particularly in young infants. There have been reports of cases in which catheter ablation is necessary. This is a rare case of drug-refractory AIVR that required catheter ablation.
The cause of cardiac dysfunction in this case was not clear. In most cases, AIVR is an ectopic ventricular rhythm with ≥3 consecutive ventricular premature beats with a rate faster than the normal sinus rhythm, but slower than ventricular tachycardia (less than 100/min). It is uncommon that AIVR lasts for a long time, as in this case. One cause of cardiac dysfunction might be the long-lasting rhythm. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TICMP) can be considered as a cause of impaired cardiac function. TICMP is characterized by ventricular dysfunction resulting from an increased ventricular rate [6, 7]. TICMP can usually be seen in tachycardia due to atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. The definition of TICMP is not clearly determined. It is often defined when the LVEF drops below 50% and cardiac function improves after 6 months of treatment for the tachycardia [6, 7]. Considering the improvement of LVEF 1 month after the treatment of AIVR, the mechanism of the mild left ventricular dysfunction may be due to TICMP.
AIVR patients generally have a good prognosis. It is rare to discover left ventricular dysfunction in a patient with AIVR during followup. However, in such cases the long-lasting symptoms might appear or AIVR may cause cardiac dysfunction. The long-lasting AIVR in this case should be considered for catheter ablation therapy. In any case, further study is necessary in consideration of cases with AIVR.

Flemish patriotic youth group "Schild & Vrienden" has launched a video in which they pledge to defend their Flemish heritage and their future.
The footage shows how the group successfully disrupts a leftist pro-immigration protest at a Flemish castle in the city of Ghent. According to the group's leader, Dries van Langenhove, leftists and their actions "endanger the future of Europe".
In a short amount of time the video had 300,000 views but Facebook was not amused and censored it. Several messages and movies of the group have also been removed from Facebook and the group's leader has been suspended from the platform. But the group will not give up and reposted their viral video today.

Oral health status of older people in residential homes in Saudi Arabia
Author(s) Sharifa A. M. Al-Shehri*
Department of Prosthetic Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, King Saud University, Riyadh, KSA.
The aim of the study was to de-termine the oral health status and treatment needs of elderly residents of residential homes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: Among 129 elderly residents, 83 (51 males, and 32 females) of them were interviewed and clini-cally examined according to WHO criteria by two calibrated dentists. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 72 ± 8.5. Male subjects had a higher smoking rate than females. Among elderly subjects below 74 years old, 20.8% had a functional dentition (> or = 20), while only 6.7% for those aged greater or equal to 75 years (p = 0.0004). Mean number of the sound teeth in all subjects was 6.7 ± 8.5. The mean number of DMFT was 18.6 ± 12.6. The missing component was the highest (16 ± 13) for both genders. The mean number of decayed roots was 2.75 ± 3.95 in males and 0.63 ± 1.96 in females. Overall, males had more sound and decayed teeth and less filled and missed teeth than females. There was no significant difference between males and females in periodontal problems except the calculus scores. The majority of subjects in need for tooth extraction were male subjects. With no gender difference 63% were in need for restorations, 40% needed upper and lower full dentures. Need for partial dentures was 38% upper and 48% lower. Conclusion: The oral health of the institutionalized elderly population in Saudi Arabia is generally poor and their treatment needs are high.

Young Thug's Friends: "He's Not Gay, He Just Acts The 'ATL Way'"
Young Thug is rising to fame as a rap artist with his hit single "Danny Glover," but his behavior often times is definitely not that of a typical rapper. From wearing dresses with jeans, calling his boys "bae" and "my love," captioning photos of himself and Birdman with kissing references and intertwining his arms with his newly-freed [from jail] friend to drink their respective cups of lean, a lot of things this guy does makes you raise your eyebrows. Now, there's nothing wrong with being gay…but the fact he's so blatant about it but not ever actually "coming out" makes you think that he's really not, so all of this behavior is just strange. Could he be trolling? Is he really gay and just doesn't feel the need to address it? Is this just how he really is? Apparently, it's a mix of the ladder, along with a new movement in the A called the "free thinking movement." Thugger's friends say he simply acts gay because that's the Atlanta way, and that's what's cool down there. Uh…I guess. But I can't say I've seen ANYONE else be a part of this movement. Who knows!
