Chinch Bug problems, while certainly a nuisance, do not pose a health risk as the bugs do not carry disease causing organisms. Although there is no county agency that can do anything about the bugs, the following information may be helpful.
The homeowner or gardener is often alarmed when he finds the ground swarming with minute, active, grayish to reddish brown bugs which usually appear in late spring or early summer. When swarming in large numbers, it appears that the ground is moving, usually in one direction. These insects are often found to be the false chinch bug. The adult bugs average about one-eighth inch long and one- twelfth inch wide with a dull gray body, mostly dark beneath, and half covered with whitish wings. The young (nymphs) are smaller and wingless or with wind pads, and have a reddish brown abdomen.
These bugs do not normally bite or sting humans. Many types of insects are attracted to perfume or perfumed lotions. If insects are squashed against the skin, it may cause a burning feeling for a short time.
As far as is known, these insects do not carry disease. It then becomes largely a psychological problem of seeing masses of minute, swarming bugs on the property.
In the late winter or early spring, the females deposit their eggs in the surface cracks of the soil in weed and grass areas. When the young hatch, they feed almost exclusively on grasses and weeds. When warm weather occurs in the spring and drought prevails, the weeds dry up or mature and the bugs scatter to irrigated plants around the home, and congregate in large numbers.
Plants on which the bugs remain may be sucked almost dry and wilt. Fortunately, as the bugs finish their feeding and become adults, they will usually disperse within a few days to two weeks and will not reappear unless the same habitat is present next spring.
Occasionally the bugs may swarm up to 6 weeks.
Before the bugs become adults and are searching for moist foliage, they may enter the home, causing considerable concern, especially where babies and small children are present.
Infestations of false chinch bugs may be prevented by spraying vacant undeveloped areas with insecticides and by treating these areas with herbicides to prevent growth of weeds and grasses, or by discing and destroying weeds early in the spring before they become a fire hazard.
When swarming starts, keep the grass along the edge of the lot and around the house watered down to the point of leaving puddles. Turning on the sprinkler system for 5 to 15 minutes each hour should be adequate.
Trenches may be dug along the border of the property and filled with water to create a barrier. Refill the trenches with water as needed, especially during the warm part of the day.
Wash paved areas and water lawns frequently.
Insecticides are not very effective unless used over a wide area.
Some pesticides will kill the bugs on contact, but during the swarming stages, this gives only temporary control as more bugs keep moving in to replace the dead.
Residual sprays which list Chinch Bugs on the label may be applied to large areas with greater safety as they are less toxic to humans and animals. Spray a barrier of insecticide around the entire house, beginning with the foundation and work out, at least 25 feet.
Never spray after dark as these bugs hide in cracks in the soil and under debris and may not be killed by the spray.
Treatment during the warm part of the day when the bugs are very active is most effective.
Mechanical destruction of the weeds when dry usually serves to disperse the bugs faster.
Spraying the weeds with oil will destroy many of these insects. No endorsement of trade names of products is intended, nor is criticism implied of similar products not mentioned.
Handle insecticides with care and follow instructions on the label. Do not use around open flame or exposed foods, and clean food preparation areas after the use of pesticides.
Store out of reach of children and pets, preferably in locked cabinets. Never keep pesticides in other than the original container.
Never reuse the pesticide container to restore any other materials. Dispose of all empty containers by placing them in the garbage can for removal to the local disposal area.
This information is to help persons involved with their pest problems. Insecticides may be purchased at nurseries and/or pet supply stores. If additional help is needed, contact with a registered pest control operator is suggested.


It's no coincidence that Premier League teams invest a lot time and money in Asian territories during the preseason. Asia presents an enormous market for the Premier League product and 해외스포츠중계 has emerged as an invaluable income stream for EPL sides.
But why has Asia change into such a sizzling bed for Premier League fervour?
Why are we no longer surprised to see banks and banks of Tottenham fans in Hong Kong wearing their Lilywhite duplicate shirts and singing "Ossie's Dream" just as they'd on the Shelf at White Hart Lane?
There are key reasons why the English game has discovered such favour among Asian markets. Initially, it's a case of timing, and secondly, it is the intrinsic worth of the product.
It is a relationship that Japan As we speak has described as "decades in the making" and the site suggests that British football is so well-liked primarily because it was the primary European soccer to be broadforged often in Asia.
Before Europe's other leagues had even begun to think about increasing their publicity to markets beyond the native, ITV and BBC were already selling the English game and broadcasting British football in Asia.
Thus, the Premier League was the first main European division to really be seen by the Asian public and subsequently left a historical imprint on the public.
Secondly, the character of English top-flight contests have appealed to the casual sports fan. While a few of Europe's other leagues might come across as staid, medical or dispassionate, the British game has built its popularity upon the livid, dramatic and exciting contests that furnish its league.
It is a product nearly completely designed for consummation, appreciation and the subsequent retention of curiosity and support.
Initially, you will need to clarify the pretty obvious proven fact that it isn't just in Asia that the Premier League is a gigantic vehicle. Based on Danny Lee of the South China Morning Post, over 70 p.c of the 2.1 billion soccer fans on the planet comply with the Premier League making it, substantially, essentially the most visible home competitors among the many global public.
With regard to Asia, it's maybe best to let the numbers clarify the EPL's popularity and to convey just how sizeable the continent's market is.
For the 2010-eleven Premier League season, the UK had an in-dwelling audience of 629 million—this compares with a mixed 361 million in North and South America combined, 761 million in the remainder of Europe, and 879 million in Africa and the Middle East.
Spectacular numbers, but that's completely dwarfed by the viewers tuned in from Asia; providing an in-house audience of 1,300 million meant that the continent supplied 32.5 p.c of the Premier League's public for the ten-11 season, according to Repucom, Premier League Fan Survey 2011/12.
The numbers have only grown over the previous 18 months, demonstrating the large function that Asia performs within the global Premier League market. Lee states there are some who estimate that Asia's total soccer fanbase numbers over a billion—the type of curiosity that the home market can not even begin to match with.
The will to witness the spectacle of Premier League was as soon as once more evident throughout the recent Barclays Asia Trophy. Despite the fact that the recent British and Irish Lions' rugby tour did not generate capability crowds, the lethargic batch of soccer friendlies saw the Hong Kong Stadium packed to the rafters.


Originally, the Old Testament was recorded in the Hebrew language. When the biblicist were translating the Scriptures into their vernacular form, they got puzzled by one word in the Scriptures: Elohim or אֱלֹהִים.
Some of these examples can be found in some English words with the Hebrew origin such as seraphim or cherubim whose singular forms are seraph and cherub respectively.
As we can see in the above translation of the Elohim, Most of the biblicists translated "Elohim" into a singular form of the language it was translated into. Therefore, in the English translation, we can see "God," instead of "Gods" even though the latter is more appropriate way of tranlsation.
The reason behind this traslation practice is a monotheistic belief that God is one in the Scriptures. Therefore, to understand the bible correctly, first we must get rid of our prejudice on this concept of God. Once we are freed from the conventional way of thinking, we can realize the true meaning hidden in it.
Then why Elohim or Gods? We do not know because we cannot see God or God's image. But for our convenience that we may perceive with our physical senses, God made a copy of his image on this earth, that is, man. Since man or mankind received the copied image of God, by looking at the creation of man, we can actually figure out the invisible image of God.
Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Mankind after the creation took two different images and forms, that is, male and female. Since these two images actually represent the images of the creator God who gave his image to mankind, we can conclude that God must have two different images too: the male image of God and the female image of God. In other words, God exists as God the Father and God the Mother.
Through the Book of Revelation God prophesied that Elohim would appear in the last day to give salvation.
The water of life or the salvation is given by the Spirit and the bride. The Spirit represents God the Father. Then who is the bride of God? Many have many mistaken understandings of the bride by saying that the bride is "God's people" or something else. However, for the water of life, we must correctly understand who the bride is.
If you read through the articles in this site, you will understand who the bride is. I hope that you also realize the true mystery of God in the bible and receive the water of life.

For years and years, probably his whole life, my papa has had a big vegetable garden. As he has gotten older and less able to do all of the physical work required to have a successful garden, he has reduced the number of things that he grows down to the bare essentials. This year, he mentioned that he "might not fool with a garden" at all. I protested heavily.
Being the good papa that he is, and after some negotiating on my part, he agreed to go ahead and put out a garden this year since I will be driving up every few weeks to help him now that I live relatively close by.
I'm not really sure how much help I will be given that I am looking forward to this as a learning opportunity, but I suppose at the very least I can contribute manual labor. I can't wait to get my hands on the tiller. Watch out.
Last weekend, I went up to Burkesville to visit and Papa, Lauren and I checked out the early stages of the garden. Papa had already put out a few hardy things and he gave us a little tour.
This is the garden plot.
These are Texas super onions.
These are sweet candy onions.
And these are multipl-I-yan un-yuns. My papa calls these "old-timey" onions because the original onions that these started from are very old. If you save one of these onions (or several), let it dry and store it in a cold, dry place for the winter, the next year, you can plant it again and it literally multiplies into several onions. You can do this again and again every year. Thus, you never have to buy new seed. It's pretty amazing. Or, at least, I think it is.
There's currently a shortage of rain in southern Kentucky (some might call it a drought) so the ground is harder than normal. Hence, my papa had to use a pick to harvest some onions for supper. It was pretty intense.
My family really likes onions.
We do, however, grow other vegetables as well.
This is lettuce, looking a little thirsty.
And these are brussel sprouts, which my papa planted upon my request. My granny was displeased about these being added to the garden because apparently they get worms in them. I'm not really sure what to do about that but I'm sure my papa will have a solution. Did I mention my papa was an Ag teacher?
Also, that blue Croc is my cousin Lauren's shoe. I had a full picture of her standing in the garden but she threatened my life if I included it in this post because she did not feel that she had on her best look.
These little boogers are beets. I will not be eating these.
This is the barn next to the garden. I like barns. I can't wait to have my own one day. I am pretty sure it will be black like this one.
On a side note, I would like to confess at this time that I have eaten Chik-fil-A three times in the past week because they are everywhere in Nashville and they were nowhere in Boston. I'm just making up for lost time.
Hopefully once my papa's garden is producing food, there will be less Chik-fil-A and more butter beans and hot peppers in my life. But I do love me some Chik-fil-A.
More to come as we plant beans and peppers and tomatoes and other stuff after the threat of frost has passed.
How much did he let you do?

Q: How parse/browse history with Jquery mobile? On Windows 8 App, history.back() and history.forward() can't perform, so I want to recover all history on an Array to use $.mobile.changePage();
But "How parse/browse history ?"
Ideas ?
Thx.

A: Why not just create a client side javascript array and add a new entry each time the page load event fires in the jQuery mobile api?
var myPageHistory = [];
$(document).bind('pageload', function( event, data ){
myPageHistory.push(data.url); // add the page to the history array

Q: Get most recent date when a value changed I have two table of client account balance, the first one had the clients with debit account, the second had the details of account balance.
Data will be like this:
TABLE A
 id_account |  balance
 -----------|---------
    1       |  -50

TABLE B
id_account  |  data   | date
------------|---------|-----------
   1        |   -50   | 20/10/2018
   1        |   -30   | 09/10/2018
   1        |    30   | 01/10/2018
   1        |    20   | 25/09/2018
   1        |  -100   | 01/08/2018

i want to get the last date when he become debtor.
 id account |  balance | debit date
------------|----------|-----------
    1       |    -50   | 09/10/2018

A: Update
Following Salman's comment and using the link to DBFiddle he published in his answer, I came up with a better solution:
WITH CTE1 AS
(
    SELECT account, Data, Date,
           ISNULL(LAG(Data) OVER(PARTITION BY account ORDER BY Date), 1) As PrevData
    FROM TableB
), CTE2 AS
(
    SELECT account, Data, Date, PrevData,
           ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY account ORDER BY Date DESC) As rn
    FROM CTE1
    WHERE Data < 0 AND PrevData > 0
)

SELECT a.account, balance, b.Date
FROM tablea a
LEFT JOIN CTE2 b
    ON a.account = b.account
    AND rn = 1

Note really simpler than Salman's answer, just another option that should give correct results. Note that if the account never had a negative sum in tableB, no date will be returned.
DB Fiddle link
First version
The simplest solution I found was selecting from TableA and joining a derived table based on TableB:
SELECT a.account, balance, b.Date
FROM TableA a
JOIN (
    SELECT account, Data, Date,
           LAG(Data) OVER(PARTITION BY account ORDER BY Date) As PrevData
    FROM TableB
) b ON a.account = b.account
WHERE b.Data < 0 AND b.PrevData > 0

A: This not exactly that you want, but as per sample data you can do :
select a.*, b.date as bebit_date
from tablea a outer apply
     ( select top (1) b.*
       from tableb b
       where b.id = a.id and b.data < a.balance
       order by b.date desc
     ) b;

If i go with your description them i would use row_number() :
select t.id, t.balance, t.date as debit_date
from (select a.*, b.*,
             row_number() over (partition by a.id order by b.date desc) as seq
      from tablea a inner join
           tableb b
           on b.id = a.id
     ) t
where seq = 2;

A: You can do it like this query
 Select
    Id,
    balance,
    x.Date As debitDate
From TableA
Cross Apply
(
   Select top 1
         [Date]
   From TableB
   Where TableA.Id = TableB.Id
   Order by [Date] desc
) As x

A: Apparently you can do this with NOT EXISTS:
SELECT a.*, debit_date
FROM @tablea AS a
OUTER APPLY (
    SELECT MIN(date) AS debit_date
    FROM @tableb AS b
    WHERE b.id_account = a.id_account
    AND   b.data < 0
    AND NOT EXISTS (
        SELECT 1
        FROM @tableb AS x
        WHERE x.id_account = b.id_account
        AND   x.date > b.date
        AND   x.data >= 0
    )
) AS OA

The OUTER APPLY part selects all rows where balance is negative (-50, -30, -100) then removes those for which a newer row exists with positive balance (for -100 the newer rows with positive balance are 20 and 30). After filtering you just need the minimum date.
DB Fiddle

A: Get the data for the dates he was a debtor and use Row_number() to list them in a descending order. Then joining the output with the other two tables and taking the 2 top will give the last date when he was a debtor.
SELECT DISTINCT a.id_account, a.balance, c.date FROM  #tablea a join #tableb b
ON a.id_account=b.id_account
JOIN (SELECT b.id_account, max(b.date) date, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY id_account ORDER BY b.date DESC) rn FROM #tableb b GROUP BY b.id_account, b.data, b.date HAVING b.data <0) c
ON c.id_account = a.id_account
WHERE c.rn = 2

Heavy snow on North Salina Street, 2012.
If you've got spare winter coats around the house, in good condition, the third annual "Coats and Cocoa" campaign - which collects winter clothing in Syracuse for those in need - is down to its final week.
The effort began two years ago when April Parks and Angela Massaro, educators involved with an enrichment program at Franklin Elementary School, noticed that many children from refugee families arrive in Syracuse unprepared, in the way they dress, for the severity of our winters.
The cocoa aspect was a suggestion from Parks' daughter, Anastasia, who said families might feel more comfortable while looking for coats if volunteers greeted them by offering hot chocolate.
The result was a volunteer initiative that distributed over 2,000 coats a year ago to families who need them, for whatever reason. Massaro said her niece and nephew have also extended the effort to their schools in the suburbs: Rafael Drummond attends Bishop Grimes Junior and Senior High School, while Kendella Procks attends Enders Road Elementary School in Manlus.
Friday is the deadline for donations. Coats, gloves and caps for all ages can be dropped off at Franklin Elementary, 428 S. Alvord St., between 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Winter clothes can also be mailed to "Coat and Cocoa" headquarters at 260 Wheaton Road, Syracuse, 13203, or left on the front porch of that home, at the corner of Fordham Road.
For more information, contact Massaro at angela@angelamari.com.

I am using c# in winforms applications

A: Many Thanks For all your support and i have solved my problem ........like this
    lstviewcategories.View = View.Details;
    lstviewcategories.Columns.Add(new ColumnHeader() { Width = lstviewcategories.Width - 20 });
    lstviewcategories.HeaderStyle = ColumnHeaderStyle.None;
    lstviewcategories.Sorting = SortOrder.Ascending;
    lstviewcategories.Dock = DockStyle.None;

    ListViewGroup categorygroup = new ListViewGroup("Category Types",HorizontalAlignment.Center);
    lstviewcategories.Groups.Add(categorygroup);

    var categorytypes = (from categories in abc.categories
                         select categories.category_Name).ToList();

    lstviewcategories.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { Text = "ALL", Group = categorygroup });
    foreach (string item in categorytypes)
    {

        lstviewcategories.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { Text = item.ToString(), Group = categorygroup });

    }

    ListViewGroup pricerangegroup = new ListViewGroup("Price Ranges", HorizontalAlignment.Center);
    lstviewcategories.Groups.Add(pricerangegroup);

    lstviewcategories.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { Text = "ALL", Group = pricerangegroup });
    lstviewcategories.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { Text = "0-500", Group = pricerangegroup });
    lstviewcategories.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { Text = "500-1000", Group = pricerangegroup });
    lstviewcategories.Items.Add(new ListViewItem() { Text = "1000+", Group = pricerangegroup });

A: You need to to create a foreign key on your address table that pointed to the customer id.

A: If you are asking about how to populate the list view with the data from the sql table then have a look at

Ultrasonographic Imaging in the Diagnosis of Ectopic Pregnancy
Author: Timothy Jang, MD; Chief Editor: Mahan Mathur, MD more...
Sections Ultrasonographic Imaging in the Diagnosis of Ectopic Pregnancy
Clinicians should consider the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in any woman in the first trimester of pregnancy who has abdominal or pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, or both. [1, 28] The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is 1-2% and is still the most common cause of pregnancy-related death in the first trimester, accounting for about 10% of all pregnancy-related deaths. [2] Missed ectopic pregnancy is a leading cause of emergency medicine malpractice claims. [3, 4, 5, 27]
High-risk features for the possibility of ectopic pregnancy include history of ectopic pregnancy, history of pelvic inflammatory disease, use of an intrauterine device, and history of tubal surgery. Unfortunately, clinical findings alone cannot reliably diagnose or exclude ectopic pregnancy. [6, 7, 8]
Bedside ultrasonography is indicated in the presence of vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain in a patient in the first trimester of pregnancy. Do not perform bedside ultrasonography if it delays resuscitation or definitive surgical care in an unstable patient.
Several studies have validated pelvic ultrasonography in the acute care setting, specifically in the emergency department (ED), as diagnostically accurate and beneficial for flow. [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
One meta-analysis of emergency physician–performed ultrasonography as a diagnostic test for ectopic pregnancy found that it had a sensitivity of 99.3% and a negative predictive value of 99.96% for detecting an intrauterine pregnancy. Given a disease prevalence of 7.5% and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.08, visualization of intrauterine pregnancy by an emergency physician yields a posttest probability of ectopic pregnancy of 0.6%. [16] A retrospective study of 585 women over a 2.5-year period concluded that the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for the detection of ectopic pregnancy was 88.5% and 96.5% on the first ultrasound and 93.1% and 95.7% after an additional scan. [17]
In a first-trimester study of ultrasound features for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, an empty uterus was found to predict an ectopic pregnancy with a sensitivity of 81.1% and a specificity of 79.5%. Sensitivity and specificity for a pseudosac, adnexal mass, and free fluid were as follows: 5.5% and 94.2%; 63.5% and 91.4%; and 47.2% and 92.3%, respectively. [18]
Bedside ultrasonography is an important tool for emergency medicine clinicians and other acute care clinicians to use in assessing patients' risk for potential ectopic pregnancy. Early diagnosis can be very valuable in lessening morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis before tubal rupture can prevent life-threatening hemorrhage and increase the probability that the patient may be managed medically or via tube-conserving surgery.
However, use of ultrasonographic imaging should never preclude adequate resuscitation or definitive surgical therapy in a patient who is hemodynamically unstable and in whom ectopic pregnancy is strongly suspected.
The goal of bedside ultrasonography is to diagnose an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP). Ectopic pregnancy can be reliably excluded in patients with a demonstrated IUP; heterotopic pregnancy remains very rare in patients who are not taking fertility agents. Heterotopic pregnancies occur in approximately 1 in 5,000 pregnancies, but the incidence increases to as high as 1 in 100 in women undergoing fertility stimulation or procedures.
This limited diagnostic focus differs from that of the ultrasonography performed by the radiology department and has also been called point-of-care limited ultrasonography (PLUS). When the serum level of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) is higher than 1500 mIU/mL, the level known as the discriminatory zone, transvaginal ultrasonographic findings of an IUP should be present (see the image below).
Transverse picture of intrauterine pregnancy.
Diagnostic, Suggestive, and Indeterminate Ultrasonographic Findings
The first developmental structure big enough to be visualized by transvaginal ultrasonography is the gestational sac, which appears in the endometrial cavity at around 4.5-5 weeks' gestation (corresponding to a β-HCG level of 1000-1500 mIU/mL). Measurement of the mean sac diameter (MSD) is important for estimating the gestational age, as well as for confirming subsequent normal embryonic development. [19]
According to a study by Oh et al, there was no difference in gestational sac diameter at 28-35 days after the last menstrual period in normal and abnormal pregnancies, but smaller-than-expected sac diameter in pregnancies 36-42 days after the last menstrual period was found to be predictive of spontaneous miscarriage. [20]
A conservative definition of a sonogram diagnostic for an IUP involves demonstration of a clearly defined yolk sac within the gestational sac (see the images below).
Picture of gestational sac with yolk sac.
Transverse picture of gestational sac with yolk sac.
The yolk sac appears by 5-6 weeks' gestation and should definitely be present when the MSD is greater than 8 mm. The embryo, or fetal pole, can be visualized on transvaginal ultrasonography by 6 weeks' gestation and on transabdominal ultrasonography by 7 weeks' gestation, and it should be present when the MSD exceeds 16 mm.
Studies have shown that a cutoff of 25 mm can increase sensitivity to 100%. [21]
Embryonic cardiac activity starts to be visible at around 7 weeks' gestation and should be visible if the crown-rump length, or fetal pole length, is greater than 5 mm. [22, 23]
Definitive ultrasonographic diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy is made in only about 20% of cases, when an extrauterine pregnancy is clearly identified (ie, an extrauterine gestational sac with a yolk sac or fetal pole is visualized). There exist, however, numerous findings that are highly suggestive of ectopic pregnancy, including an empty uterus in a patient with a β-hCG level above the discriminatory zone, an adnexal mass other than a simple cyst (see the image below), echogenic fluid in the cul-de-sac, or anything more than a small amount of fluid in the cul-de-sac.
Picture of uterus without a fetal pole and a complex adnexal mass consistent with ectopic pregnancy.
Patients who exhibit such findings should be managed in consultation with an obstetrician; they likely will need surgical exploration or medical therapy with methotrexate.
Ultrasonographic findings that are neither diagnostic nor highly suggestive of an IUP or ectopic pregnancy are classified as indeterminate. These findings include an empty uterus, an abnormal gestational sac (eg, a sac with an irregular border or an MSD large enough that a secondary structure such as a yolk sac would be expected), a normal gestational sac without a yolk sac or embryo, a nonspecific intrauterine fluid collection, and ill-defined echogenic material within the endometrial cavity (see the image below). Patients who exhibit these findings are generally monitored closely with serial β-HCG testing and clinical assessments, as about 10-25% of such patients have normal pregnancies.

Anesthesia is generally not necessary for sonographic evaluation. However, patients may experience discomfort from the pressure of the transducer.
Equipment includes the following:
Ultrasonograph with 3.5-5 MHz abdominal transducer and 7.5-10 MHz transvaginal transducer
Acoustic gel
Transvaginal transducer probe cover
Lubricating jelly - Because acoustic gel causes an intravaginal dermatitis, the lubricating jelly Surgilube should be used on the outside of the transducer cover.
The patient should be in a hospital gown, undressed from the waist down. For transabdominal ultrasonography, position the patient in the supine recumbent position. For transvaginal ultrasonography, position the patient in the supine lithotomy position.
Complication Prevention
Be sure to scan systematically and widely, including the entire uterus and cervix in the transverse and sagittal planes. Failure to scan through the entire uterus, cervix, and adnexa can lead to missed ectopic pregnancies.
Explain the procedure, benefits, risks, and complications to the patient or the patient's representative. Ask the patient or the patient's representative if he or she would like others to be present for the procedure.
The primary role of emergency department (ED) obstetric ultrasonography is to demonstrate an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP). When the beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) level is greater than 1500 mIU/mL, transvaginal ultrasonographic evidence of an IUP should exist. The first visible structure is the gestational sac. Subsequent yolk sac, embryo, and fetal cardiac activity should appear at predictable time intervals and mean sac diameter sizes.
An extrauterine gestational sac with yolk sac or fetal pole is definitive evidence of an ectopic pregnancy. (Note that a pseudogestational sac can be confused with a genuine gestational sac.) Other suggestive ultrasonographic findings include a complex adnexal mass, echogenic fluid in the cul-de-sac, a moderate to large amount of fluid in the cul-de-sac, and an empty uterus in a patient with a β-HCG level above the discriminatory zone. (Note also that intrauterine fluid is one of the most common ectopic findings misinterpreted as an early normal IUP.)
Transabdominal Ultrasonography
Transabdominal ultrasonography is best performed on a patient who has a full bladder.
Expose the abdomen from xiphoid to pubis. Apply a generous amount of acoustic gel to the patient's lower abdomen, the abdominal transducer, or both.
The uterus is a muscular hollow organ behind the bladder and anterior to the colon, with a moderately echogenic, homogenous myometrium and a relatively hyperechoic endometrium.
First, scan the uterus in the transverse plane. Hold the probe perpendicular to the patient's long axis, with the indicator of the probe pointing toward the patient's right, and sweep from fundus to cervix (see the image below).
Transverse probe placement for transabdominal obstetric examination.
Next, scan the uterus in the sagittal plane. Hold the probe parallel to the patient's long axis, with the indicator of the probe pointing toward the patient's head, and sweep from side to side (see the images below). Be sure to identify the landmarks: the bladder, the vaginal stripe, and the uterus.
Sagittal or longitudinal probe placement for transabdominal obstetric examination.
Sagittal viewing showing bladder, uterus (behind the bladder), and endometrial stripe (within the uterus).
When scanning in the sagittal plane, assess for free fluid in the cul-de-sac, also known as the rectouterine pouch or the pouch of Douglas. A small amount of hypoechoic free fluid can be considered physiologic. Fluid tracking two thirds of the way up the posterior wall of the uterus is regarded as moderate. A larger amount of fluid, or fluid that tracks anteriorly and interposes between the uterus and the bladder, is considered large. [24]
Apply acoustic gel to the patient's right upper quadrant, scanning in the transverse and sagittal planes again to visualize the Morison pouch. Free fluid is generally not visualized until at least 500 mL of free fluid has accumulated; such accumulation is highly suggestive of ruptured ectopic pregnancy (see the image below). [25]
Free fluid in the Morison pouch from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
Transvaginal Ultrasonography
Transvaginal ultrasonography is best performed on a patient who has an empty bladder.
Position the patient in the supine lithotomy position, preferably on a stretcher equipped for pelvic exams (ie, with stirrups). Scan the uterus in both long and short axial planes. [26]
The cul-de-sac is formed by the peritoneal reflection anterior and posterior to the uterus. A small amount of anechoic fluid in the cul-de-sac is physiologic. Echogenic fluid in the cul-de-sac is highly suggestive of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
Upon visualization of a round anechoic structure in the endometrial cavity that is consistent with a gestational sac, acquire pictures and measure the length, height, and width of the gestational sac to obtain the mean sac diameter (MSD). These measurements are taken from the inner aspects of the echogenic border of the sac.
Visualization of a double decidual ring (ie, 2 echogenic rings around the gestational sac) is pathognomonic for an early IUP. In radiology literature, this is considered the earliest reliable sign of an IUP. Double decidual signs, however, are not consistently seen, and caution should be used in terms of using them to determine the presence or absence of an IUP. Prior to this stage, demonstration of a simple gestational sac is an indeterminate ultrasonographic finding.
The yolk sac is a round echogenic ring with an anechoic center located within the gestational sac. The yolk sac can generally be used to determine the presence or absence of an IUP.
The embryo is measured using crown-rump length, which is measured end-to-end (not including the yolk sac).
An extraovarian adnexal echogenic ring (tubal ring sign), highly suggestive of an ectopic pregnancy, occurs when the fallopian tube develops a trophoblastic reaction to an ectopic gestational sac.
Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is rare but has a higher mortality rate following rupture, as the area is richly vascular. An eccentrically located gestational sac with a thin or incomplete myometrial mantle around the sac is suggestive of an interstitial gestation; this is the interstitial line sign.
No major complications exist with the performance of emergency department (ED) ultrasonography to evaluate first-trimester pregnancy.
Sometimes, Doppler ultrasonography is used in early pregnancy evaluation to detect fetal cardiac activity or to better delineate the adjacent vascular anatomy. The energy output of Doppler ultrasonography is substantially higher than that of conventional ultrasonography and may be harmful to the embryo. [25]
Complications can ensue if an obstetrician is not consulted early in the treatment of a patient with early pregnancy and hemodynamic instability, acute abdomen, or falling hematocrit level.

Such a lovely delicate springtime flower!! And yet how strong it must be to be able to stand the cold weather. A beautiful picture!!
very nice, I like the contrast between the bright green new growth, moss, and the dry leaves below.


As another step towards its sustainable initiative, Aliya resort has started organic paddy cultivation within the resort premises. Organic substances such as compost & leaves will be used to increase the fertility of the soil. First Compost is introduced to the soil & then gliricidia leaves are added. After leaving it for some time and after a series of plouging sessions the land will be ready for the sowing of seeds. When the soil is ready for planting, a traditional seed variety 'Suwandel' will be sowed.

Q: Bad Request in SOAPUI I am attempting to consume a web service using Delphi 2010 and Indy.  To establish a usable SOAP stream to compare to the one created by my program, I am testing in SOAPUI.  I am using a SOAP stream provided by the web service provider which also matches the SOAP stream specified in the WSDL file.  I am getting an HTTP 400 (bad request) error from the service.
From what I can find online, it appears that receiving an HTTP 400 error indicates that your SOAP request is malformed and can not be read by the web service.  I have tested my SOAP stream using XMLPad and the XML seems to be well formed.  I suppose this may mean that something does not match its schema requirement.  I will first check the schema description for the password in case that is expected to not be sent as plain text.  What else should I be checking to eliminate an HTTP 400 error?
Here is my request (less username and password) in case it helps:

A: There may be something else, but at the moment, I am suspicious of the wsse:UsernameToken.  I downloaded the document at http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0.pdf and read it last night.  It's written in fairly plain language and I feel like I understand what it is saying but it leaves me with a smaller question than the one I asked originally.  This document proposes that you can use a plain text password in this format:
<S11:Envelope xmlns:S11="..." xmlns:wsse="...">
  <S11:Header>
  ...
    <wsse:Security>
      <wsse:UsernameToken>
        <wsse:Username>Zoe</wsse:Username>
        <wsse:Password>IloveDogs</wsse:Password>
      </wsse:UsernameToken>
    </wsse:Security>
  ...
  </S11:Header>
...
</S11:Envelope>

Or you can use a password digest.  It defines a password digest like this:

Password_Digest = Base64 ( SHA-1 ( nonce + created + password ) )

According to the reference, the format for a password digest would look like this:
<S11:Envelope xmlns:S11="..." xmlns:wsse="..." xmlns:wsu= "...">
  <S11:Header>
  ...
  <wsse:Security>
    <wsse:UsernameToken>
      <wsse:Username>NNK</wsse:Username>
      <wsse:Password Type="...#PasswordDigest">
      weYI3nXd8LjMNVksCKFV8t3rgHh3Rw==
      </wsse:Password>
      <wsse:Nonce>WScqanjCEAC4mQoBE07sAQ==</wsse:Nonce>
      <wsu:Created>2003-07-16T01:24:32Z</wsu:Created>
    </wsse:UsernameToken>
  </wsse:Security>
  ...
  </S11:Header>
...
</S11:Envelope>

This is not the format used in the example provided by the web service publisher.  The plain text version in the reference does not use a nonce.  The example message uses a nonce but calls for a plain text password.  It appears to me that the use of a nonce without a password digest does not add any security to the message.  It could be any random string of characters if there is no agreement for how it is to be created.  Am I missing the point?
I know this must seem like a tedious undertaking, but I am hoping that by providing this here, maybe we can provide a little help to the next person coming along.

A: I too have come across this issue. The web service publisher (edd.ca.gov) responded by stating that the " value is required by the SOAP 1.2 standards" yet I find no valid support for that. It looks like we both are heading down the same path (FSET) and maybe we should team up and work together, two heads are better than one. I have found many mistakes within the example code and I too have yet get it to work.

Q: boost::fusion::accumulate simple example I have what I hope is a simple example, with a simple question someone can help clear up for me :). It's based on this other question:
accumulate over tuple of values
What I have is a structure, with a std::tuple<std::string> member. During the structure's constructor, I store the data after performing some algorithms controlled by another type. Not related to my question, just explaining the code below.
What I need help with (sorry, new to boost metaprogramming!) is my toString() method that invokes boost::fusion::accumulate on the tuple I have. When I call boost::fusion::accumulate, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be calling it!
The call to boost::fusion::accumulate should be dictated by the AlgorithmT parameter.
I have the following code more or less:
#include <boost/fusion/adapted/std_tuple.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/algorithm.hpp>
#include <boost/phoenix/phoenix.hpp>

template<typename AlgorithmT, typename ...T>
struct Trait
{
  using A = AlgorithmT;

  size_t hash_value_;
  std::tuple<std::string> value_;

  Trait(T... data) :
    hash_value_(A::Hash(data...)),
    value_(A::Transform(data...)) {}
  size_t hash() const { return this->hash_value_; }

  std::string toString() const
  {
    using namespace boost::phoenix::arg_names;
    // This example compiles, but it effectively does nothing. result is always empty.
    std::string const result = boost::fusion::accumulate(this->value_, std::string{}, arg1);

    // This next line doesn't compile, but I think it's what I want.
    std::string const result = boost::fusion::accumulate(this->value_, std::string{}, &A::ToString(arg1));
    return result;
  }
};

struct IdentityAlgorithms
{
  static constexpr size_t (*Hash)(std::string const&) = &boost::hash_value;
  static constexpr auto Transform = &identity_transform<std::string>;

  static std::string ToString(std::string value) {
    std::cerr << "ToString invoked! value: '" << value << "'" << std::endl;
    return "\"" + value + "\""; }
};

Could someone look at how I am using boost::fusion::accumulate, and maybe point out how I can get the compiler to deduce the type. I'm assuming the compiler can't deduce the right type for a good reason, I'm just not sure what that is. The error messages GCC4.9 is spitting out at me is:

required from here
/local/brazil-pkg-cache/packages/Boost/Boost-3.0.3932.1/RHEL5_64/DEV.STD.PTHREAD/build/include/boost/fusion/algorithm/iteration/detail/preprocessed/fold.hpp:111:39:
  error: too many arguments to function
fusion::deref(it0));

A: #include <boost/fusion/adapted/std_tuple.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/algorithm.hpp>
#include <boost/phoenix/phoenix.hpp>

template<typename AlgorithmT, typename ...T>
struct Trait
{
    using A = AlgorithmT;

    size_t hash_value_;
    std::tuple<std::string> value_;

    Trait(T... data) :
        hash_value_(A::Hash(data...)),
        value_(A::Transform(data...)) {}
    size_t hash() const { return this->hash_value_; }

    std::string toString() const
    {
        using namespace boost::phoenix::arg_names;

        const std::string result = boost::fusion::accumulate(this->value_, std::string{} /* initila state */, A());
        return result;
    }
};

struct IdentityAlgorithms
{
    typedef std::string result_type;

    static constexpr size_t (*Hash)(std::string const&) = &boost::hash_value;
    static constexpr auto Transform = &identity_transform<std::string>;

    std::string operator()(const std::string& str, const std::string &value) const
                                          //  ^ state                 ^ element of squence
    {
        std::cerr << "ToString invoked! value: '" << value << "'" << std::endl;
        return "\"" + value + "\"";
    }
};

Operation static std::string ToString(std::string value) makes no sense in this case. You have to define operator().

It has been quite some time since I found a good thrifty haul (like this, this, this or this amazing craft haul), especially as the boot fairs I enjoy so much don't start until near the end of March. So instead I made do with a trip to my local charity shop to hang out by the book shelves and see if anyhting caught my fancy.
I found a few treats for myself and the children and came away happy.
The books below were £1 each and two of them: Social Butterfly by Moni Mohsin and Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston were ones on my reading list. The Leapfrog Leappad toy was discovered by Litte Man for Darling. It usually costs about £25 with the books for about £8, this one cost £3 with the batteries included. I am a big fan of this brand and she has really been enjoying playing with it.
The rainbow box sets below caght my eye immediatey and turned out to be Coaching Academy training DVD's (costing £3 per set). I have long had an interest in coaching, so if I can make the time to sit through these, insh'Allah I hope they will benefit me personally and also help to determine if this something I want to pursue in the future.
The little set of books was new and nice for Darling and Baby to share. I usually avoid ornaments or anything that is slightly chintzy or has no function, but this little bowl of fruit caught my eye and just enchanted me as I love miniatures. The fruit is made of stoneand I can't tell if it is dyed in some way or the marble is coloured. I have found a few similar on the internet (Etsy, eBay and antique shops) variously described as vintage Italian alabaster, onyx marble or dyed quartz carved fruit and selling for anything from £15 to £50. This little set cost £3.
I was quite happy with my finds and I am thoroughly enjoying the Social Butterfly book, this should keep me happy until the boot fairs start again.
Thank you sooo much for this post, I read a sample chapter of the social butterfly. She made me really mad cuz of her selfishness, so i couldnt finish it lol.
I definitely want to get the beauty blue print n read beauty. Thx for sharing ur book haul.
I'll try and review them if I ever get to finishing them (I seem to be graet at starting books and not finishing them at the moment).
salam, it's been a long time since I've been thrifting. I think my house is all full up now! Nice to go treasure hunting though, isn't it?
Salam, treasure hunting is a nice phrase for it! I think my house is pretty full too with the belongings of seven of us plus my mother-in-law who stays every summer. So I usually try to take a bag of stuff to the charity shop whenever I visit too.
Time again for boot fair! :-) Well at least this time I won't be surprised if you buy books from boot fair and boots from book fair.
it's called a boot fair not because people sell boots, but because people sell items from the boot of their car!
:) Salaam, another month or two until it is warm enough here for the boot sales to start as they are held outdoor. I remembered the comment you refer to on the other post straight away as it made me smile at the time.


Don Julio Anejo Claro (literally 'aged clear') is a brand new category unto itself. In speaking of tequila, experts will often claim that a blanco (un-aged) is the truest expression fo the agave while the anejo (aged) acquires oak and increases sophisitication but at the cost of masking the very agave essence that makes tequila what it is. The anejo claro--launched to celebrate our 70th anniversary--is an anejo tequila that has aged in oak for at least 18 months but then undergoes a filtration process that removes the color and 'oakiness' that comes from that aging. Why both to age the tequila only to literally de-age it through filtration? The result is a tequila with all the agave of a blanco but the softening of the aging.
Wine EnthusiastBilled as the world's first white añejo, it indeed has an unusual clear appearance, hence the name "claro." Created to celebrate Don Julio's 70th anniversary, this limited edition bottling, aged for 18 months, has powerful charred oak, honey and vanilla notes, and a banana-like finish.

Bull by Poonawalla
Michelle Poonawalla will present a solo exhibition in Mumbai following exhibitions and projects in Delhi, Pune and Parma (Italy) earlier this year and in advance of a collateral pavilion at the Kochi Murzi Biennale, 2018.
Born Free presents 25 new works which explore the fragility and power of nature. A series of animal portraits highlight the variance of life from the strength of the bull to the fragility and beauty of the butterfly. The works are superimposed with a mapped digital projection allowing them to run off the canvas and into the gallery and 'our' world. By forcing the artwork beyond the canvas and into the gallery it asks the viewer to address their own relationship with these animals.
The exhibition is a tribute to Poonawalla's late grandfather Jehangir Vazifdar, a renowned artist, architect and contemporary to many of the great Indian masters including Bhupen Khakhar, Prabhakar Barwe and S B Palsikar. The paintings utilise a technique Poonawalla first learned from Vazifdar where the paints are mixed directly on the canvas creating a thick impasto style which is carved into with a ruler resulting in a textured effect which is impossible to copy.
Purple Rain by Poonawalla
Poonawalla has built on Vazifdar's technique by projecting an interactive and dynamic image on top of the canvas. Creating a new digital art form which uses motion sensors to react to the audience, the works reflect the resilience and strength of the old masters techniques whilst incorporating technologies of the 21st century. The results allow an otherwise static artwork to come to life, drawing the audience into the work and the work into the gallery.
The exhibition will be followed by a collateral project at the Kochi Muziris Biennale 2018,which will further address the issue of fragility and mankind looking at conflicts and war. The work will continue Poonawalla's use of digital mediums to present images of violence, fragility and suffering alongside her signature butterfly motif used to represent the souls of innocent victims of conflict.
Title: Born Free
Dates: 6-12, November, 2018
Venue: Jehangir Art Gallery 161B, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai

Q: Does session timeout get affected if session sharing is achieved between two java web application If i share session(HTTPSession) of one java web application deployed and running on a dedicated machine in tomcat with other java web application deployed and running on a separate machine in tomcat, will the session time out get affected?
i mean if i jump from one app to another in a different browser window with the same session, will the first app timeout and vice versa?

A: Every session is managed by the underlying container, so two containers will not communicate to see if session should be timed out or not.
So say your tomcat may timeout your session as per the configuration even if same session is being used in another container and is still active.
Also it is not a recommended approach to share session between JVM's as not all containers will allow you to do that. I think WSAD allows you to do that, but instead of sharing session, I would suggest you to share objects instead.
