Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday chided the state government and the Railways for allowing squatters to stay for over two decades near railway tracks between Santacruz and Vile Parle stations. The court said it endangers the lives of around 3.5 million Western Railway commuters.
"Almost the entire city comes from North Bombay (sic) to South Bombay by train and returns by train," said a bench of Justice V M Kanade and Justice B P Colabawalla.
A petition was moved by Shiv Sai Welfare Society, on behalf of 105 families, urging a stay on eviction proceedings by Railways and for alternative permanent housing. Its advocate Sachin Masurkar said the families were living there before 1995 and were overlooked in the 2001 survey of a World Bank project for permanent housing for slum-dwellers. He said it is the MMRDA's responsibility to house project-affected persons even if they are illegal occupants.
The bench also asked the Railways' advocate Suresh Kumar, "Why do you allow these people to continue after 20 years?" Kumar said 19,000 families were provided houses under the WB project. "They all came after that," he said.
Refusing relief, the bench said, "We are surprised how the state government and the Railway authorities permit construction of such shanties next to the tracks." It also expressed surprise at how squatters get electricity, free water supply and documents like ration card and PAN card. But it directed the authorities to decide the Society's representation within a month.

Home Conditions & Treatments Adult Health Library Non-Traumatic Emergencies
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 19, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Brain injury research typically focuses on football players and military veterans, but a new study suggests head injuries are far more widespread than estimated.
About 1 in every 6 U.S. adults -- roughly 23 million people aged 40 or older -- have been knocked out by a head injury, researchers report.
"Those numbers are huge," said lead researcher Dr. Andrea Schneider, a neurologist with Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. "Head injury in the United States is much more common than we thought."
Further, these head injuries are associated with neurological and psychological problems such as depression, sleep disorders, stroke and alcoholism, the researchers found.
For this study, Schneider and her colleagues relied on data gathered by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The data showed that nearly 16 percent of U.S. adults aged 40 and older answered yes to the question, "Have you ever had loss of consciousness because of a head injury?"
Men were nearly twice as likely to have answered yes, about 20 percent compared with 12 percent among women.
This could be because men are more involved in careers and pastimes with an increased risk of head injury, such as military service or contact sports, Schneider said.
People who reported a head injury that knocked them out were 54 percent more likely to have a sleep disorder, 68 percent more likely to have had a stroke, twice as likely to be a heavy drinker, and more than twice as likely to have symptoms of depression.
However, researchers can't say from this data which way the relationship runs between head injury and these health problems, Schneider said.
It could be that depression or sleeplessness or heavy drinking make you more likely to suffer a head injury. It also could be that a head injury increases your risk to subsequently suffer from these problems.
"More prospective studies are needed to look into the directionality of these relationships," Schneider said.
Kristen Dams-O'Connor, co-director of the Brain Injury Research Center of Mount Sinai in New York City, suspects the relationship runs both ways. Head injuries are prompted by these neurological and psychological problems, but the injuries also can either cause new problems or make existing problems worse.
"We may be talking about people who are associated with previous risk factors, and you've now got a traumatic brain injury overlaid upon whatever they were suffering before," said Dams-O'Connor, who wasn't involved with the study.
She believes the number of people who've suffered a brain injury is even higher than found here.
"I think the numbers are impressive. The numbers are staggering. They certainly support the notion that we need to learn a heck of a lot more about how to prevent this injury," Dams-O'Connor said. "But at the end of the day, I think this is definitely an undercount."
The single question used in this survey does not capture all of the potential scenarios in which a traumatic brain injury could occur, Dams-O'Connor explained.
For example, the survey question would not reflect people who were dazed or confused by a blow to the head that did not cause them to lose consciousness, she said.
"That would meet the criteria for a mild traumatic brain injury, and none of those people are even included in this estimate," Dams-O'Connor noted.
It's unknown whether these 23 million or more people are at increased risk for neurological problems like dementia or Parkinson's disease down the road, Dams-O'Connor added.
It's widely suspected that one traumatic brain injury (TBI) doesn't result in the kind of long-term damage caused by repeated brain injuries, she said.
"A substantial number of people sustain a TBI that heals and they return to their normal," Dams-O'Connor said. "These are the lucky ones who go back to their baseline and they don't have long-term symptoms that don't go away. Overall, most people who survive a brain injury are not going to develop these terrible outcomes."
The findings appear in a letter published Sept. 19 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
There's more from the U.S. National Institutes of Health about traumatic brain injury.

Belgium: NATO members sign Macedonia accession agreement
Wednesday 06 February 2019 22:04 CET
NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Dimitrov spoke at a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday, following the signing of the NATO accession protocol with the future Republic of North Macedonia.
Representatives of all 29 NATO members signed the protocol, which will make the Republic of North Macedonia NATO's 30th member should it be ratified by each state.
"With you joining NATO there will be 30 countries committed to protect [ing] each other. Your accession will bring more stability to the Western Balkans. This is good for the region. And for Euro-Atlantic security," said Stoltenberg, commenting on the signing of the accession protocol.
The development comes not long after the parliaments in both Skopje and Athens ratified a deal to rename the country from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to the Republic of North Macedonia, paving the way for its possible accession to NATO. The deal was met with protests in both countries.

If you're making your own blend of waxes, as so many of us do- How would you go about estimating the melt point (MP) of your finished product?
Am I doing this right? Is it even possible to estimate a final MP like this or do wax compounds interact in a way that changes MPs such that you can't really even ballpark it with basic math.
Your math is impeccable, but maybe not your chemistry. A things melting point doesn't change just because you mix it with similar things. So the temperature where everything is melted is the highest melt point of the components. In your example your melt point should be 140°, at anything less than that wax 2 will simple be a solid in suspension. But wait you say; when you mix salt and water it changes the melting point of the ice. That is true, but the salt is dissolved in the water, and it never melts. Your waxes are mixed, so they should keep their own melt points. Of course I could be wrong; it has been 35 years since I studied chemistry.
If I understand correctly, you're saying a blend of 2 waxes will become a wax with the same MP of the ingredient in that blend that has the highest MP? Is that right?
So if I melt down: 90% coconut (MP of 72) + 10% paraffin (MP of 140) to create a wax, that final wax now has a MP of 140?
That is what I am saying; however it could be affected by the various additives they add to the waxes., but the safe bet is go with the highest melt point.
The problem with melting points is that while for pure substances the melting point is a single temperature, as soon as you start adding ingredients the melting point becomes a melting range. Say you had a wax that melted at 40 Celsius. Add a wax that melts at 60 celsius, and you will not get a wax that melts at 50 Celsius. You will get a wax that starts to melt at 40 Celsius but is not completely melted until 60 Celsius.
I'm not quite sure how to practically apply this new info. to candlemaking and a finished candle's behavior in heat though. Or maybe I just don't want to believe Because now it seems that I'm at the mercy of the ingredient with the lowest MP in any blend. So a candle made with a blend of waxes that range in melt points from 90 - 140 degrees could still start to melt at 90 degrees (eeek) but may not fully melt until 140.
Perhaps I'm overthinking this - it seems the more I read, the more questions I have. Time to put some of my wax samples in a warm oven and see what happens!
Is it even possible to estimate a final MP like this or do wax compounds interact in a way that changes MPs such that you can't really even ballpark it with basic math.
Bolded is my experience. Now what is in a given wax product to get it to a specific melt point it's a shot in the dark coupled with loads of experimentation.
It's more than just melt point. Manufacturers use drop point and needle penetration to lab test their products. compounds within the blend melt at different temperatures and rates. There's a range of "acceptable" since not every batch of raw material will be the same.
Waxes like palm have basically two different states: solid and liquid. There's no slush in between like soy and some paraffins. I've witnessed different wax fractions not even melting in some blends, crystallizing out in the melt pool. Beeswax goes from solid to salve to thick liquid before giving up to burning. Even at low percentages it changes how other waxes melt and burns.
Unintended consequences of irregular crystal formation can cause things like cavities, cracks, etc. when blending. Then complicate things a bit more pH and with fragrance oils of unknown compounds and it's even more challenging.
So a candle made with a blend of waxes that range in melt points from 90 - 140 degrees could still start to melt at 90 degrees (eeek) but may not fully melt until 140.

The Impact of Photorealistic Simulated Environments on Audience in VR
The main title of the article is "Investigating The Impact of Photorealistic 3d Simulated Environments on Audience Reaction in Virtual Reality Space"
The next generation processors such as the ones that use graphene-based transistors , increase the speed of the process of codes up to 1000 times (Schlueb, 2017).
At the same time, the researchers of computer science are developing rendering algorithms in which the physical world will be simulated better and faster. One of the results of improvement in these two fields is the possibility of processing and displaying photorealistic 3D environments and scenes in virtual reality space in real-time. Although even now with the available hardware we can reach these contents, but in near future using photorealistic content will direct the attention of producers of this field.
The scenes that are produced with 3D computer graphics and photorealistic in terms of visual quality have features that separate them completely from non-photorealistic scenes. The photo-like realism in these scenes is in a way that the audience considers them real. Applying these features in producing virtual reality content will result in its improvement in some ways:
First, when the audience is surrounded by the photorealistic environment, his experience becomes closer to real life. The content quality has an important role in this experience. That is, when the mind by comparing real-world experiences with photorealistic virtual space, is not able to separate the differences, it will accept that fully and this will lead to a more effective communication channel between the content and the mind of the audience.
Second, the more effective the communication channel through photorealistic content, the more the feeling of audience presence in virtual space, and this will cause more emotional engagement of the audience while dealing with the content.
Third, photorealistic spaces are produced by 3D computer graphics. Because of photo-like realism, they have more details and information for virtual reality compared to the scenes that are produced normally by 3D graphics. As a result, different audiences will have different experiences when dealing with these spaces. In other words, these spaces decrease the similar experience between two audiences, as the experience of different people while visiting a specific location in the real world is different.
For instance assume that in virtual reality space, the audience sees a chair in a very simple room with no details. With regard to the reality of proportions and sizes, this space cannot create an effective communication with the audience and engage his emotions. On the other hand, the second space has photorealistic features, the chair has details in modeling, realistic texture and even carvings on that. The room also has wood flooring and walls are covered with wallpapers. The lighting and shadows seem very real. The second space has this potential to make a memory or experience in the past come to the mind of the audience and its practical result is an increase in emotional engagement and the feeling of presence.
The reason for using 3D computer graphics to produce photorealistic content should be noted. By using this method of production, we can create spaces that do not exist in the physical world and different uses can be considered for that, such as creating fictional spaces used in the entertainment industry, educational spaces, making environments with a specific purpose such as treating the patients who suffer from PTDS or exposure therapy.
How can we measure the impact of simulated photorealistic environments on the audience?
How is it possible to reach a comprehensive and standard pattern in applying the photorealistic features in virtual reality environment?
How does the categorization of practical and impractical features help the quality of content production for virtual reality environments?
The focus of this research is on every photorealistic feature which can be produced by 3D computer graphics that can increase the reaction of the audience in virtual reality environment or facilitate it. Although these environments are formed by real things and subjects, the research focus is only on environments that do not exist in reality and they are non-characteristic (both human and non-human). In the first phase, this research tries to investigate each feature separately and in the second phase in relation to other features so the impact rate of each one will be clear.
Generally, the objectives of the research are as follows:
Determining the impact rate of photorealistic features of simulated environments on the communication channel with the audience.
Classifying features based on the impact rate alone and in relation to each other.
Explaining and presenting evidence of how photorealistic features affect the real feeling of being in the environment (presence) and emotional stimulus of the audience in virtual reality space.
Explaining and presenting evidence of how photorealistic features reduce the similar experience between two audiences in virtual reality space.
Although at the moment the photorealistic images produced by 3D computer graphics are used extensively in the production of movies and animations, using them in producing virtual reality content because of the aforementioned reasons, are not that popular. However, in terms of theory and research, it has directed a lot of attention. One of these people is Fiona Carroll whose dissertation in 2008 was 'which aesthetic elements can be used in making an interesting photorealistic virtual reality environment ' (Carroll, 2008). In another study by a group of five in Edinburgh University in 2015, first virtual environments were made based on real locations. Then by using the developed version of real-time image-based rendering (IBR), the virtual environments were presented with photorealistic features (Smyth et al., 2015).
This study by considering the findings of others from a different perspective and by focusing on the content produced by 3D computer graphics instead of using photographed images, investigate the photorealistic aesthetic features in virtual reality environment.
The experimental method is the main data collection method in this study. In this method by examining the impact of stimulus and special condition of the environment on one group of people, the data will be gathered. In this study, in order to discover the causal relationships between photorealistic features, each person in the group will be under special circumstances and the obtained results will be compared with other members of the group. In this study by manipulating the variables and controlling the conditions, the results will be investigated.

STUNTS, STARS & LEGENDS - May 2013
Stunts Stars And Legends: Jerry Gatlin
Artwork and articles by John Hagner (Artist of the Stars)
Jerry came from the rodeo business before becoming involved with stunt work. He worked on a couple of films at Tucson in his early days of stunting. He was one of the local extras and a stand-in on "The Lone Ranger and The Lost City of Gold", the last film made starring Clayton Moore". On the movie, "Gunman's Walk" starring Van Heflin and Tab Hunter, Jerry worked as an extra.
He became friends with legendary stuntmen, Henry Wills and Chuck Hayward. He spent a lot of valuable time learning how to do a movie fight with the best of them. Bill Hickman (stunt-coodinator) on the classic car stunt movie, "Bullitt" starring Steve McQueen was instrumental in teaching Jerry car stunts and maneuvers. His first giant movie was "The Magnificent Seven". He doubled Horst Buchholtz, Eli Wallach, Charles Bronson and Robert Vaughn.
Shortly after "The Magnificent Seven", he was one of the John Wayne stunt crew to work on "The Comancheros", which was filmed in Moab. He, and the other stuntmen were under the guidance of ace stunter, Cliff Lyons.
Jerry worked in "Donovan's Reef" and "McLintock". "Donovan's Reef" was the first huge fight scene he worked on with John Wayne and John Ford. It was a barroom brawl. Cliff was the main gun to hire the stuntmen.

The other night, after religious education, wrestling practice and a basketball game, my seven year old son put his little hand in mine, looked up at me with big brown eyes and asked, "Mom, is there a night when, we can, you know, all just be?
Just be. In our rush to expose our children to all that is, to help them get into college, to mold them into master musicians, ballerinas, athletes and, of course, scholars, who has time to 'just be'? And are we all doing too much to the detriment of our kids, our families and ourselves?
This question seems to plague our nation. With books with names like "The Over-Scheduled Child" and "Hyper-parenting" and over 20,000,000 hits for "over scheduled children" on a Google search, everyone seems to be asking the same question – and there's no real consensus.
So I started asking around. I began with friends and other parents at sports practices, children's events and at school. They all replied that they felt pressure to have their children involved in all of the activities that the kids were interested in, even if it added stress to the family.
In addition to asking some difficult questions about what's best for our families, there are other ways to add balance to our lives. Avalyn Quick of Shavertown, Certified Leadership Coach, advises that families take cues from successful businesses to create a 'work-life balance.' She recommends a weekly family meeting where parents and children review the upcoming week. This is a time to ask questions like who is going to watch which sporting event or who is going to carpool, and also a chance for children to voice their expectations. Quick also suggests time management and routines. She uses the time driving to and from her kid's commitments having meaningful conversations and quality time.
"Let go of what 'quality time' is supposed to look like – with the family gathered around the dinner table – and make meaningful moments where you can," she advises.
Although we don't often have dinner together, I take comfort in the fact that we are able to sit together at the table for breakfast. My husband and I take those minutes between bites of cereal or scrambled eggs to check-in with the kids and each other and begin the day together.
"Sometimes for the sake of child and family balance, you have to say no to intensive activity," he said. That can mean that if your child likes soccer, she can play on the recreational soccer team but not on the more time-consuming travel team, he added.
Extra-curricular academic activities don't necessarily translate into an advantage when applying to college. Supplementing classroom learning with private Mandarin Chinese instruction, voice lessons and acting class may lead your child to resenting the entire educational environment and to you as a parent. You may feel as if you are failing as a mom for not doing more, but doing less may actually be better for your child.
Buoyed by these experts, a few days after my son asked for a night to 'just be,' we 'just were.' After the homework was finished, we skipped practices and after-school activities. The boys wrote stories, played football in the yard and invented games out of cardboard boxes. We ate dinner as a family, had a nice discussion and watched television together. We all got to bed early. My seven year old was right. It was a great night. … Now I face the challenge of adding a weekly 'just be' night to our already full schedule.
Paula Chaiken is an over-scheduled mom of an over-scheduled family trying to schedule a much needed daily moment of peace.

Richard Stanley, Director Of Color Out Of Space, Is Writing Two More Lovecraft Movies
Posted by ifreakinglovethis | Jan 14, 2020 | Video Games | 0 |
Director Richard Stanley, director of the H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Color Out Of Space, has announced that he's writing two follow-up films. Color Out Of Space is intended to be the first film in a trilogy of Lovecraft adaptations.
Richard Stanley announced these projects in a Q&A following the film's Los Angeles premiere screening, which was moderated by Patton Oswalt and also featured the film's star, Nicolas Cage.
When Oswalt pointed out the number of Lovecraft Easter eggs hidden in the film, Stanley responded, "I'm pleased to say that this is the first in a trilogy. I'm really hard at work on the second script." He says that his next script is an adaptation of The Dunwich Horror.
Asked if he's making a linked "Lovecraftverse," Stanley responded that Lovecraft "already did," so he doesn't need to. Oswalt asked Cage if he's involved, and Cage responded that he doesn't know.
Spectrevision, the company run by Elijah Wood that produced the film, has previously said that they'd love for Stanley to make a trilogy, and this confirms that it's actually happening.
Color Out Of Space is Stanley's first feature-length narrative fiction film since 1992's Dust Devil. We reviewed Color Out Of Space last year, and reviewer Rafael Motamayor wrote that the film does a good job of "making you feel like you're a part of a Lovecraftian cosmic horror story, and following the author's style of storytelling."

I don't even believe this! I let a friend do some browsing on my computer last night and everything was fine but this morning I decided to reboot because I was low on ram and when I restarted it took over 3 minutes to boot and my task bar was gone. If I minimize my browser it disappears completely even though it is still running. Here is a HJT log. I know I have a new virus somewhere.
Here is a combofix log.
Remove the Combofix you now have and then download and run latest version..
Ok Pancake old pal. Thanks for coming to my rescue again. Your the best!
When this was done I lost my task bar again. I figured out a way to get it back for most of the day but I couldn't minimize any window because it would disappear. Now after running combofix the task bar is gone again.
I just noticed another interesting thing. I cannot play world winner games on yahoo now because when I click the button to log in nothing happens. I also cannot delete junk from my email or read my email because when I click on a link in IE nothing happens. I will have to resort to firefox I guess.
I made the text like you asked but I cannot drag or drop anything on my desktop or in any of my folders. This this is worse than the last virus. I did do a trend micro online scan yesterday and found winreanimator back on my hard drive which it was able to delete. I just wonder if this is a left over virus from what we did before that is just now showing up. I'm going to try to go into safe mode and do what you ask but I dont know if it will work.
I went into safe mode and it still wouldn't drag and drop so I manually deleted those files into recycle bin. I have not deleted them from there yet. I will wait to see what you tell me to do next.
Answer Yes, when prompted to install an ActiveX component.
Man this is getting rediculous. I went to kaspersky.com and it won't run that scan. I clicked on accept and it does nothing.

Thats fine.Nothing found and your HJT log looks fine now so it looks as if your problem lies elsewhere.
It still takes over 3 minutes to load from restart, I cant copy and paste in any word processor, I cant minimize any windows or they dissapear, My task bar is not right, I cant drag and drop anything. Ya it lies somewhere and I have no idea where. I cant' run system restore or windows media player and I have no sound.

Ned Norton works with a woman at his gym in Albany, New York. For the past 25 years, Norton has provided free and low-cost strength training for people living with disabilities.
Norton trains more than 120 people every week through his nonprofit, Warriors on Wheels.
Norton works with people whose disabilities include spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
"I'm building them up, building them stronger, so they can go out and live life like they're supposed to," Norton said.
Norton poses with some of the program's participants in October.
One of the program's participants exercises at the Albany gym.
Norton's strength-training equipment is specially adapted to fit his clients' needs. Most of the people he trains are in wheelchairs and rely on their upper body strength to get around.
Norton is the only trainer in the facility, which was donated to him by the city.
Participants often form friendships and motivate one another. They also become resources for each other, providing advice and references. "When they come here, they get a network of people going through the same challenges," Norton said.
"I'm not a genius. I'm not a miracle worker," Norton said. "But I do know what I'm doing in the gym, because that's what I love doing and that's what I have to offer to people."
Albany, New York (CNN) -- Ned Norton was working as a fitness trainer for Olympic athletes and bodybuilders when a young man with a spinal cord injury asked him for help.
Ned Norton trains more than 120 people per week through Warriors on Wheels.
Norton trains more than 120 people every week through his nonprofit, Warriors on Wheels. His clients' disabilities include spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
"I never worry about what they can't do," said Norton. "I worry about what they can do, and make them as independent and capable as possible."
Participants come to the gym twice a week for one-hour sessions. Norton's strength-training equipment is specially adapted to fit his clients' needs. Most of the people he trains are in wheelchairs and rely on their upper body strength to get around.
"The world is more accessible now for people with wheelchairs," Norton said, "but you've got to be strong to be in a wheelchair."
Tom Clement knows that first-hand. About 40 years ago, he fell off a roof and severed his spinal cord. He has been in a wheelchair ever since.
"When you lose (the use of) your legs, your arms become your legs. So upper body strength is key," said Clement, 65.
Clement has worked out at Norton's gym several times a week for the past 15 years. He says it's helped him live independently.
"My activities in the gym have increased my ability to maintain the stamina of everyday work," said Clement, who runs a frame shop and art gallery with his brother. "Thanks to Ned, I've been able to live a full life."
For those who can afford to pay it, Norton charges $25 a month. Most of his clients are living on disability income and Social Security, and he says less than half can afford to pay the fee. He never turns away anyone who has a disability.
Norton is the only trainer in the facility, which was donated to him by the city. Participants often form friendships and motivate one another. They also become resources for each other, providing advice and references.
"After an accident, people are devastated. Their family and friends have no clue what they are going through. They are out there on their own," Norton said. "But when they come here, they get a network of people going through the same challenges."
Kathleen Lane has been coming to the Warriors on Wheels gym for about 15 years to help with her multiple sclerosis. Lane, who is in a wheelchair, also benefits from the social aspect of the program.
"I come out of here feeling better than I do when I first come in," said Lane, 51. "It changed my life. ... Ned's unbelievable."
Norton says many of the people he has worked with have gone on to drive again, gain employment and pursue their interests without letting their disabilities get in the way.

Former Blessed Sacrament, Revisited
Posted by Chris Naffziger on January 2, 2023 January 1, 2023
It turns out that Most Blessed Sacrament, which I looked at back in December of 2020, was founded in 1907, and originally worship occurred in a wood frame structure with dimensions of 73 x 30 feet, that was built in six weeks at the behest of its first pastor, Father P.H. Bradley. The whole campus was 175 x 288 feet. The original boundary of the parish was Bircher on the north, Marcus on the east, Cote Brilliante on the south, and the alley in between Arlington and Union on the west.
I was messing around on Google Satellite, and while I had already spotted holes in the roof, I discovered there were actually four holes cut in the roof, and they are all placed in a square, hardly the result of accident. I wonder what the heck was the purpose behind these holes; they have proven to be extremely destructive to the interior of the church.
At this point, I'm sad to say, the price tag to fix this stout and well built edifice will be very high. Perhaps someone out there has the money.
I hadn't thought much about Most Blessed Sacrament since I visited the first time, but I was recently contacted by Ms. Christi Griffin, a former parishioner of the church. Griffin, is a graduate of Most Blessed Sacrament grade school and founder of The Ethics Project, a multi-award winning non-profit organization that addresses the impact of mass incarceration on children, families, and communities. I encourage you look into the Ethics Project, which you can visit here. We met and talked about Griffin's experience attending Most Blessed Sacrament, and the memories she has from her time there.

I love old photographs of when these buildings were alive and still in use, particularly towards the end in the Twentieth Century. It seems like there are a lot of photos of the Nineteenth Century, but not many from relatively recent times.

If the holes are square; It was most likely the result of scrappers stealing ductwork from those penetrations, that connected up to Mechanical A/C units on the roof.
cnaffziger says:
Oh, that makes sense! There were makeshift "ladders," pieces of scrap wood, nailed to the roof to access the holes. I suspect you're right.
Whether it was in operation or not… It's pretty low for one to steal from the Lord's house.
Wouldn't be the first time such sacrilege was committed–look at St. Augustine. You can see one of the makeshift ladders below; they look so crude that they must have done illicitly.

Responses to the Medical Review of Systems: Borderline Versus Nonborderline Patients in an Internal Medicine Outpatient Clinic
Randy A. Sansone, MD; Charlene Lam, MD, MPH; and Michael W. Wiederman, PhD
Objective: In both clinical and empirical reports, individuals with borderline personality disorder have been characterized by tendencies toward somatization. In this study, we examined the relationship between somatic symptoms, in the context of a traditional medical review of systems, and borderline personality disorder, using 2 self-report measures for this Axis II dysfunction.
Method: In a cross-sectional consecutive sample of 381 internal medicine outpatients being seen predominantly by resident providers in a midsized, midwestern city in October 2010, we assessed 35 physical symptoms, which constitute 1 version of a medical review of systems, and borderline personality disorder using the Borderline Personality Disorder Scale of the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4 (PDQ-4) and the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI).
Results: The total number of symptoms endorsed on the medical review of systems was positively correlated with scores on the PDQ-4 (r = 0.42, P < .001, n = 369) and scores on the SHI (r = 0.36, P < .001, n = 366). In addition, the percentages of participants with borderline personality disorder increased as the number of endorsed symptoms increased. No individual symptom, or symptom pattern, was particularly related to participants with borderline personality disorder features.
Conclusions: In an internal medicine outpatient sample from a resident provider clinic, patients with borderline personality disorder characteristics endorsed significantly more physical symptoms on a medical review of systems than those without such characteristics, suggesting a somatic overlay in individuals with this Axis II disorder. No specific physical symptom pattern or cluster was evident among those with these Axis II features.

Over the years, clinicians have intermittently reported somatization in some patients with borderline personality disorder. For example, as far back as 1980, Schreter1 described a relationship between chronic somatic symptoms and borderline personality disorder among patients in group psychotherapy. In the early 1990s, Giovacchini2,3 described associations between psychosomatic symptoms and borderline personality disorder. Bernstein4 indicated that somatic symptoms could potentially mask underlying borderline personality disorder. Spitzer and Barnow5 reported a relationship between somatoform disorders and borderline personality disorder. Hull and colleagues6 described a patient with borderline personality disorder whose acting-out behaviors were synchronized with exacerbations of physical illness. Finally, Janssen7 described 2 patients with borderline personality disorder who initially presented with somatic symptoms.
Clinical Points
According to the findings of this study, patient endorsement of multiple symptoms on the review of systems suggests the possible presence of borderline personality symptomatology.
In this study, there was no pattern of symptom endorsement on the medical review of systems by patients with borderline personality symptomatology (ie, no specific symptoms suggest this Axis II pathology).
In addition to clinical reports, empirical research supports a relationship between somatic symptoms and borderline personality disorder. For example, Lloyd and colleagues8 found increased reporting of somatic complaints among patients with borderline personality disorder. Snyder and Pitts9 reported that patients with borderline personality disorder had elevated psychological scores on scales of somatization, hypochondriasis, and hysteria compared with controls. Ross and colleagues10 examined a sample of patients with dissociative identity disorder, many of whom had comorbid borderline personality disorder, and reported 15 somatic symptoms per participant. In addition, researchers have found associations between a formal diagnosis of DSM-defined somatization disorder and borderline personality disorder.11,12 For example, in a sample of patients with borderline personality disorder, Hudziak and colleagues12 found that 36% had comorbid somatization disorder.
In 2 different internal medicine samples, we reported correlations between somatic preoccupation and borderline personality symptomatology.13,14 In addition, in a study among family medicine outpatients, using path analysis, we again found evidence for a relationship between somatic preoccupation and borderline personality disorder.15
When assessing somatization in patients with borderline personality disorder, past researchers have used a variety of measures, including formal psychological scales, somatic symptom counts, DSM criteria for somatization disorder, and other somatization measures. For example, in all 3 of our previous studies,13-15 we used the Bradford Somatic Inventory.16 However, no study to date has examined patient response patterns to a medical review of systems, which is oftentimes an early endeavor in the patient/clinician relationship. If an association exists between borderline personality disorder and an overendorsement of symptoms on the medical review of systems, this might be an early and potentially important indicator of this complex disorder. In an effort to broaden the understanding of the relationship between somatization and borderline personality disorder, we investigated whether patients with this Axis II disorder overendorse the physical symptoms commonly encountered in the traditional medical review of systems.
At the outset of this cross-sectional study, 471 individuals were consecutively approached and 417 agreed to participate, for a participation rate of 88.5%. Of these subjects, 381 completed the relevant study measures. Participants were men and women, aged 18 years or older, who were being seen in an outpatient internal medicine clinic for nonemergent medical care in October 2010. The outpatient clinic is staffed by both faculty and residents in the Department of Internal Medicine and is located in a midsized, midwestern city. The majority of participants in this study were patients being seen by resident providers. We excluded individuals with compromising medical (eg, pain), cognitive (eg, dementia), intellectual (eg, mental retardation), or psychiatric symptoms (eg, psychotic) that would preclude the candidate's ability to successfully complete a survey.
Respondents consisted of 132 men and 249 women, who ranged in age from 19 to 97 years (mean = 50.32, SD = 15.45). Age was normally distributed around the mean: 10.4% were aged 19-29, 17.3% were aged 30-39, 19.6% were aged 40-49, 23.6% were aged 50-59, 17.3% were aged 60-69, and 11.9% were aged 70-97. Most respondents were white (88.2%), followed by black (7.9%), other (2.1%), Hispanic (1.0%), and Asian (0.8%). With regard to highest level of educational attainment, all but 6.6% of respondents reported having at least attained a high school diploma, with 14.3% of the sample attaining a bachelor's degree and 13.3% earning a graduate or professional degree.
During clinic hours, one of the authors (C.L.) positioned herself in the lobby of the outpatient internal medicine clinic, approached incoming patients, and informally assessed exclusion criteria. With potential candidates, the recruiter then reviewed the focus of the project and invited each to participate. Each participant was asked to complete a 5-page survey, which took about 10 minutes. Participants were directed to place completed surveys into sealed envelopes and then to place these into a collection box in the lobby.
The survey consisted of 3 basic sections. The first section was a demographic query, in which we asked participants about their sex, age, marital status, racial/ethnic origin, and educational achievement.
In the second section of the survey, we queried participants about 35 general physical symptoms from 14 different body areas/systems, which constitute one clinical version of a medical review of systems. These items were adapted from a preappointment questionnaire developed by Sinsky.17 Items were preceded by the statement, "Have you experienced any of the following symptoms in the past week?" with yes/no response options.
The third section of the survey contained 2 measures for borderline personality disorder. The first measure, the Borderline Personality Disorder Scale of the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4 (PDQ-4),18 is a 9-item, true/false, self-report measure that consists of the diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder that are listed in the DSM-IV.19 A score of 5 or higher is highly suggestive of borderline personality disorder. Previous versions of the PDQ have been found to be useful screening tools for borderline personality disorder in both clinical20,21 and nonclinical samples,22 including the use of the freestanding Borderline Personality Disorder Scale.23
The second borderline personality disorder measure was the Self-Harm Inventory,24 a 22-item, yes/no, self-report measure that explores participants' histories of self-harm behavior. Each item in the inventory is preceded by the statement, "Have you ever intentionally, or on purpose, ' ¦ ." Individual items include "overdosed, cut yourself on purpose, burned yourself on purpose, and hit yourself." Each endorsement increases the possibility of pathology, with the SHI total score being the summation of "yes" responses. SHI total scores of 5 or higher are highly suggestive of the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.24 Indeed, in comparison with the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines,25 a benchmark measure for the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder in research settings, the SHI demonstrated an 84% accuracy in diagnosis.24
Each of the individual symptoms in the medical review of systems was endorsed by at least 5 respondents, and the total number of symptoms endorsed per participant ranged from 0 to 32 (mean = 0.56, SD = 1.62). Only 38 participants (10.0%) did not endorse any of the listed symptoms, and only 24 participants (6.3%) endorsed more than half of the 35 listed symptoms. The total number of symptoms endorsed was positively correlated with scores on the PDQ-4 (r = 0.42, P < .001, n = 369) and scores on the SHI (r = 0.36, P < .001, n = 366). We also created a combination variable by converting each respondent's PDQ-4 score and SHI score to a respective Z score, and then summed the 2 Z scores to create a combination assessment of borderline personality disorder. The total number of symptoms endorsed was positively correlated with scores on this combination measure of borderline personality disorder (r = 0.43, P < .001, n = 362) as well.
Age was negatively and weakly correlated with the total number of symptoms endorsed (r = 0.12, P < .05, n = 377) and negatively and more strongly correlated with scores on the PDQ-4 (r = 0.43, P < .001, n = 362), the SHI (r = -0.37, P < .001, n = 375), and the combined measure of borderline personality disorder (r = -0.39, P < .001, n = 359). In other words, older respondents tended to report fewer physical symptoms and fewer indications of borderline personality disorder. Accordingly, we performed the analyses reported above, controlling for age. Even after excluding age, the total number of symptoms endorsed was positively correlated with scores on the PDQ-4 (r = 0.41, P < .001, n = 363), scores on the SHI (r = 0.34, P < .001, n = 363), and scores on the combined measure of borderline personality disorder (r = 0.42, P < .001, n = 356). Note that the magnitude of the correlation coefficients remained virtually unchanged.
With regard to exceeding the clinical cutoff score indicative of borderline personality disorder, 65 of the 369 participants (17.6%) who completed the PDQ-4 did so, compared to 73 of the 366 (19.9%) who completed the SHI. Of the 362 respondents who completed both the PDQ-4 and the SHI, 42 (11.6%) exceeded the clinical cutoff score on both measures. The relative rates of borderline personality disorder as a function of the number of symptoms endorsed on the medical review of systems checklist are presented in Table 1. Each of the 4 levels of symptom endorsement was determined by quartiles based upon the distribution of symptom endorsement for the sample. In other words, the numbers of respondents in each of the 4 categories of symptom endorsement are approximately equal.
With regard to individual symptoms, 2 (bloody urine and mole change) were endorsed by fewer than 12 respondents and did not allow for comparison between those with and without these particular symptoms. The relationship between endorsement of each of the remaining symptoms and the combination score for borderline personality disorder is presented in Table 2. Note that scores on the combined measure of borderline personality disorder were positively correlated with endorsement of the majority of the individual symptoms.
Our findings underscore 2 important conclusions. First, among outpatients in a resident provider internal medicine clinic, an increasing number of endorsements on a medical review of systems evidenced statistically significant correlations with 2 measures of borderline personality disorder, individually and for participants who were positive on both measures, strongly suggesting that somatization is associated with borderline personality disorder in this cohort. Note that the borderline personality disorder measures used in this study both have very different constructs, so individuals scoring positively on both measures are, in our opinion, more likely to harbor higher levels of borderline personality disorder symptomatology. Second, in this population, there was no coherent symptom "profile" or group of symptoms, in particular, that suggested borderline personality disorder—symptom endorsements were diffuse and nonspecific.
Note that the prevalence of borderline personality disorder in this population appears somewhat high. There may be several explanations for this. First, self-report measures for Axis II disorders tend to be overinclusive, so the borderline personality disorder measures used in this study may be reflecting at times borderline personality disorder symptomatology rather than the bona fide disorder. Second, this is a resident provider clinic and tends to attract uninsured patients (ie, perhaps this partially reflects lower functioning individuals and greater levels of personality pathology). Third, there may be other unaccounted influences that may be artificially inflating borderline personality disorder scores, such as anxiety, depression, pain, medication-seeking (ie, feigning "bad"), illness burden, and substance abuse. Fourth, while the community rate of borderline personality disorder is designated at 2% in the DSM-V-TR,26 according to Grant and colleagues,27 the rate is actually much higher at 6%. In addition, in a private practice internal medicine setting, Gross and colleagues28 reported a prevalence rate of 7%. Therefore, the 11.6% rate determined in this study by the combined measures appears less inflated.
What might explain the association between somatization and borderline personality disorder? First, it may be that multiple somatic symptoms function to promote a victim role in adulthood (ie, a medical victim). The victim dynamics of borderline personality disorder have been well described by Kroll,29 who stated that victimization is a "basic theme in understanding borderlines."(p46) Kroll described the way in which individuals with borderline personality disorder engage others to "act upon [them], usually in a negative, rejecting, or aggressive way, but sometimes in a caretaking ' ¦ way."29(p46) Kroll further emphasized the importance to such patients in portraying helplessness and incompetence.29
A second possibility may be that multiple physical symptoms are mediated by trauma-related dynamics. Childhood histories of trauma are frequently encountered in patients with borderline personality disorder, and the resulting posttraumatic stress spectrum of symptoms might result in hypervigilance. While hypervigilance is traditionally viewed as an external process, it might also manifest on an internal level, with excessive scrutiny and attention to various bodily sensations and functions.
Third, it could be that early developmental trauma results in impaired immunity, thus resulting in diffuse and numerous somatic symptoms in these types of patients. There may be other explanations as well, and the preceding possibilities are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
This study has a number of potential limitations, the most important being the self-report nature of the data. In addition, we do not know whether any of the individuals with borderline personality disorder symptomatology in this study have been formally diagnosed with the disorder or in mental health treatment. However, the sample was consecutive in nature and reasonable in size, the study query is unique to the literature (ie, a medical review of systems), and the findings echo the current literature from a different perspective. It appears that in primary care settings, patients with borderline personality disorder may demonstrate an extensive medical review of systems; this may be an important and initial nonspecific clinical marker for this type of pathology in such settings.

It's considered to be a standard tool when it comes to small business accounting and bookkeeping. It offers many features and functionalities that most businesses require in running their day to day operations. Some of the tasks that Quickbooks perform include invoicing, inventory tracking, payroll, expense tracking and managing all bills from suppliers and vendors.
If you connect your bank account to Quickbooks online, the account activity is downloaded and then categorized in Quickbooks which saves time that could be taken to reconcile and compare all records with the actual account activity.
It's a popular invoicing solution that has built-in time tracking and expense management features, and also the ability to accept the payments from different clients. However, this makes it suitable for agencies, freelancers as well as other service based businesses that can automate payment reminders to all customers. Additionally, Freshbooks is user-friendly, provides good customer support when you need it, and also it's a good choice for those selling services rather than products.
It offers a wide range of accounting tools that help in bookkeeping, paperless expense management and also the ability to receive payments in more than 160 currencies with automated conversions and exchange rates that are updated hourly. This tool also allows one to send invoices and quotes and also automatically reconciles your accounts as expected from good accounting software. If you're selling products online or offline, then Xero will help you in tracking inventory and making purchase orders to suppliers on relatively affordable plans.
It's part of the Zoho collection of small business software which includes a CRM, help desk as well as booking applications. So, if you're planning to use or you're already using it right now, and particularly their CRM, then it makes sense to use their finance software too. It has all features expected from bookkeeping software, in addition to time tracking among other perfect features for service selling and not just products.
For all small business owners, Sage One should be on the top list of their accounting tools list. For beginners, they can generate invoices and accept payments online at a much affordable rate of $9 per month. For those who need more functionality, then they can upgrade to Sage One Accounting at the rate of $14 a month in order to get a business' financial overview, build accounting reports and also track both time and expenses.
In conclusion, these are some of the top small business accounting tools to choose from depending on your specific needs.

Q: What is considered "best practice" when making a quote memorable? So I have this quote I'm working on:

Information has moved from the tip of the tongue to the tip of the fingers.

There is an alternate version I've made that reads as follows:

Information has moved from the tip of the tongue to the fingertips.

This quote has to do with how much we now rely on technology for gathering/reciting information.
My question is, which quote makes more sense, and which quote is more memorable? I like the idea of having tip of the tongue align with tip of the fingers but tip of the fingers just doesn't work as well as fingertips. Especially when you think of the internet being the world at your fingertips.

A: At least in my experience, memorable quotes are usually more direct and often have a rhythm. Therefore, the second sentence is better: Information has moved from the tip of the tongue to the fingertips. It reverses the rhythm of tip of the tongue to fingertips, giving it a nice tone. Also, it is more direct than the second sentence.
The first one is not as good, because  the word, tongue, has one syllable and the word ,fingers, has two. Even though this sentence has parallel structure, the difference of syllables ruins the flow of the rhythm in: the tip of the tongue to the tip of the fingers. Read it out-loud a couple of times.
Because you want this to be a memorable quote, I would recommend choosing the sentence that has the best rhythm in its structure when spoken out-loud.

A: Tip of the fingers is just as understandable, despite fingertips being the far more common usage.
As you point out, the symmetry of expression is much more memorable.  As is the cadence of the sentence.

A: To the extent that either alternative quote (my preference over "alternate" in AusE at least) will ever be memorable, Information has moved from the tip of the tongue to the tip of the fingers. would seem to be the more likely candidate.

line Use Your Godly power. To become the supreme dictator of the world.
If I was the world dictator there wouldn't be politics as we know them to begin with, so it wouldn't matter.
I would be a good dictator and invest in education and scientific research.
