Saudi Arabia vs Mexico: World Cup Group Stage Odds & Best Bets
Ani Sridhar
With both sides looking for the win in their final group game in Qatar, this should be an open game with plenty of goals
It seemed almost impossible just a couple weeks ago, but Saudi Arabia could finish at the top of Group C with a victory against Mexico and a draw in the match between Poland and Argentina.
The Green Falcons are coming off of a 0-2 loss at the hands of the Poles after a stunning 2-1 victory against Argentina in their first group stage match. They do, however, control their own destiny, and will qualify for the knockout stage with a victory against Mexico.
Mexico have underperformed in this tournament, but still remain alive. They need a win and some help to advance to the knockout stage.

Can Saudi Arabia pull off another upset? Will Mexico score their first goal of the tournament?
Let's dive into current betting odds to uncover the best bets and props for this Group C showdown between Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
Saudi Arabia vs Mexico Current Odds
3-way handicap: Mexico (-145) | Draw (+300) | Saudi Arabia (+360)
Draw No Bet: Mexico (-350) |Saudi Arabia (+240)
Over/Under Goals: Over 2.5 (-135) | Under 2.5 (-110)
Both Teams to Score: Yes (-125) | No (-110)
Saudi Arabia vs Mexico odds are current as of Monday, Nov.28, from BetMGM Sportsbook unless otherwise noted.
Despite failing to score a goal in this tournament so far, Mexico is favored to win this match with -145 odds. Oddsmakers are expecting a high-scoring affair with the Over 2.5 goals juiced to -135.
Saudi Arabia vs Mexico Prediction
Saudi Arabia 2-2 Mexico
This is going to be a very open match with both teams going for the win. Saudi Arabia can qualify with a draw, but will need Argentina to beat Poland by a large margin. Since both games are happening simultaneously, they will have to play for the win.
Mexico had four shots on target against Poland, but mustered up only one shot on goal against Argentina. The Saudi Arabia defense is the weakest group they will have faced so far, so they will be on an all-out attack.
Hirving Lozano will need to lead the Mexican attack if they are to move on to the Round of 16, as they will also have to make up for their -2 goal differential.
The Green Falcons will turn to Salem Aldawsari yet again to guide them to the round of 16 for the first time since 1994. They had 64% of the possession against Poland and five shots on goal, but failed to find the back of the net.
With both teams going for the win, I expect a lot of goals scored from both sides.
Saudi Arabia vs Mexico Betting Tips
Saudi Arabia has never beaten Mexico, with only one draw in their five meetings.
The Green Falcons have only kept one clean sheet in their 18 World Cup matches.
Mexico have qualified for the knockout stage in nine straight World Cups
Before the tournament started, Saudi Arabia were +650 to advance from the group and Mexico was -115.
Saudi Arabia vs Mexico Best Bets
➕ Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Total Goals (+125) at BetMGM Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
Mexico's defense has been vulnerable at times, especially on the counter-attack, and that is where Saudi Arabia can take advantage. Mexico will be playing with nothing to lose in this game, so they will throw everything they can to find goals in this match. This makes the Over a great bet.

Taking a staycation can be a unique way to try a restaurant that you wouldn't ordinarily visit. While on a staycation, consider changing your eating habits and wander outside of your hood. Why not take the opportunity to mimic something that you would experience in another country?
Kendall's Brasserie is the ideal place to have a transportive experience to France without spending the money for travel. As in true brasserie form, the bar is the center of the restaurant; the French antiques that adorned the walls made me forget that I was only miles away from home.
From now until the end of May, Kendall's Brasserie is featuring "Spring in Provence". This special event is part of their "Passport to France" series where executive Chef Jean-Pierre Bos takes guests through a virtual culinary tour through France. Recently, I was able to preview some of the items that will be served.
Housemade albacore tuna confit is the centerpiece of their Niçoise salad.
They add Boston lettuce, haricot vert, tomatoes, potatoes, chopped eggs, niçoise olives and toss the ingredients with a shallot vinaigrette. The fresh albacore confit made me realize how tasty tuna can be. Farmers market quality ingredients allowed the salad to shine.
Tomato tarte tatin consisted of tomato confit, basil and parmesan.
Most tarte tatin crusts are similar to a pie or a quiche in appearance. Their version was unique because the bottom of the crust was very thin and super crisp. Tomato lovers will enjoy this dish.
The bouillabaisse consisted of rock snapper, shrimp, sea scallops, saffron potatoes and mussels in a Provençal broth.
A rouille sauce with crostini was provided on the side to add to the soup. The fish was flakey, very moist and the broth was absolutely delicious. Chef Bosc disclosed that the secret to his broth was adding a splash of pernod. This gave the broth a slight flavor of anise.
The lamb loin was roasted to perfection and served with a savory brown sauce drizzled over it.
Another traditional Provençal dish, artichokes barigoule with sliced fava beans was served with the lamb.The artichokes were sliced in small sections and were extremely tender.
The Nougat Glace Maxim consisted of candied fruit & nuts, frozen meringue and raspberry coulis. I really enjoyed this dessert; it was both fluffy and crunchy. This was the first time I actually enjoyed eating nougat.
The other dessert option was a strawberry and raspberry frozen dessert named strawberry chaud and froid. The top was a lemon mousse that had the consistency of a brulee. The bottom was a combination of raspberry sorbet and strawberry chaud.
This three course pre-fixe meal is only $40, which in my opinion, is a very good deal.
The best part about going to Kendall's Brasserie is that you get to experience French food in the original French tradition without having to take an 11 hour plane ride to Europe! PS. If you enter between 8 and 9:30pm, you will get complimentary parking! What a huge perk for downtown LA.
As a reminder, the Spring in Provence menu ends at the end of May.


No Way! — Ginger writes.
As I read Tara Westover's memoir, Educated, this past week, I found myself thinking again and again, "No way!" The obstacles Tara overcame from her childhood to be who she is today were so far-fetched, some of them, that one might not believe they could actually happen. The crazy parts began to be more believable when it was revealed that Tara's father was suffering from mental illness, although I don't think mental illness could explain away everything. It was a story of suffering, of sadness, of so much loss. It was also a story of redemption and hope and the healing that comes through acknowledging what's true, even if the truth is scary.
Even as my head, at times, was saying No way! to Tara's story, my heart was listening deeply. I am thankful I could play a part in letting Tara tell her story, just by listening, because I know from my own experience as a writer how helpful it can be to talk about what has happened or is happening.
Part of the story I've been telling in recent months centers on my desire to become a more nurturing, responsive, and available mom to my children. To move from a feeling of inadequacy and a storyline of No way, I could never be that kind of mom, to a realization that I can change and be more than what my past has shaped me into fills me with hope and gratitude.
There came another No way moment, a few nights ago, when I was reading Educated before bed, and a little card fell out of the book. I had borrowed the book from a friend, so I assumed one of her children wrote the note. But when I saw the message, it felt like God wrote me the note, to affirm my desire to delight in my children as He delights in me. I took a picture because the moment felt important and miraculous.


This is a map of the Internet in 1901. Surely there was no Internet in 1901? But each technology is built on top of the previous technology, and the Internet is no exception. It was built on top of the telephone network, which was built, in turn, on top of the telegraph network, which already girdled the world by the end of the Victorian era, in 1901. So here it is. The Internet in 1901.

My dad and Taylor Swift
My dad and Taylor Swift would have been fast friends.
Sure, my dad was more fond of Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, and Charlie Pride flowing from the dash of his old Ford pickup truck, but lately I've noticed something about Taylor Swift I think my dad would have liked.
Dad was a teacher at our district vocational school for most of my life at home. This meant that when I got home from school every day, so did my dad. When I had a school holiday or a snow/ice day, so did my dad. When I was out for summer vacation, so was my dad. My dad was also a work-a-holic. This meant that when he wasn't working at school, he was working in his metal fabrication business in our backyard. This should be simple addition for you but let me go ahead and provide you the sum: this equaled no afternoons or days off for me. When my school friends were sleeping until noon on a day off, my dad was opening my bedroom door and telling me to get my lazy butt up out of bed at 9:00 am. When I dared to ask why, the response was always "We've got work to do!". Summer vacation? More like my dad's "Summer Work At Home" program.
I, of course, felt some teenage angst about this. I was jealous of my friends who sat at home all day playing video games. I didn't understand what a work ethic was at the time and how important it would be later on in my life.
This year has been a different life experience for all of us. In addition to not being allowed to go out and do most of the things we enjoy, we were also dealing with a pretty scary viral situation, some civil unrest, terrible politics, and many of us were asked to work from home. So while we were scared and likely dismayed, we were also tempted to sleep too late, eat too much, stay in our pajamas too long, and watch way too much TV.
I understand that there is no wrong way to deal with a year like this one. I mean, as long as it's legal and you're not hurting anyone anyway. If you slept, ate, pajama-ed all day, watched everything available on Netflix, and survived with your sanity and sobriety then good for you! Be proud of that. If you dealt with 2020 by throwing yourself into your work, then good for you too!
Recently we've all discovered what our friend Taylor Swift was up to this year. Even in quarantine, there's little chance you missed that Swift managed to write, record, and release a whole new album back in July. Her album Folklore was recorded in her home with some long-distance help from friends. Far from a collection of songs about boredom or how cute her cats are, this album reached across musical genres and allowed Swift to stretch her talents into writing from outside of her own stories. Her recent Grammy nominations seem to support my praise of her work. She may have also just won Songwriter of the Year at the Apple Music Awards.
It may be difficult for most of us to sympathize with professional touring musicians during this year. It's important to realize that much of the income for professional musicians comes from touring, something that has not been allowed since early last spring. Swift was never allowed to tour for her Lover album and there would definitely be no tour for Folklore. I know we're not worried about Swift financially, but what about professional performers who are not allowed to perform? Performers live for an audience. I can't imagine not being allowed to do something that I love for an extended period of time. For a performer like Swift, this year interrupted every normal thing about her life. She was always busy doing the next thing, making an album, planning a tour, directing videos, learning choreography, planning the fashion for her next season. We're talking about early mornings and late nights. Workouts, meetings, phone calls, and perhaps a very well planned out personal life. Now imagine that same person being told they were not allowed to do any of those things and they needed to stay at home for an indefinite period of time.
Talk about an excuse. Now there's a person who could wallow, eat ice cream out of the container, and keep Netflix in business. But instead of doing the easy thing, it seems that Swift pretty quickly went about figuring out how she could work and be creative under the conditions she was given. And figure it out she did, with the July album release of Folklore, a Disney Plus feature to follow in the fall, and then last week, an entirely new album release. Her 9th studio album, Evermore, is still very new in my music rotation, but seems to be just as good if not better than Folklore.
Was Taylor Swift living in the same year as the rest of us? How does a person manage to be so productive? Swift indicated in an interview this week that after about 3 days of quarantine she knew she needed to work. I can almost see her opening the virtual bedroom doors of Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner, and Justin Vernon and saying "We've got work to do!".
I was lucky to have the time and opportunity to make a lot of new work this year. Certainly as a response to my conditions, the drawings have been flowing and I think I have somewhere over 20 new ones since January. Thanks to my dad, now when I sit still for more than 5 minutes, I get the itch to go and do something. Maybe this explains the Art-Remix every day, the Quarantunes With Violet every day, and staying up late each night drawing. While this is super-annoying to the people who have to live with me, it has helped me to have a productive year instead of a lazy one. That's not to say I haven't had my lazy moments. I don't mind telling you that I've gone into my sculpture studio on a cold rainy day, looked outside and proclaimed, "I can't be expected to work in these conditions!" before walking out. But because my dad instilled a strong work ethic in me, now when I need to rest and I take a couple of hours to watch an old Hitchcock movie (or a couple of episodes of Dawson's Creek on Netflix) I get up afterwards and feel the need to go finish that drawing that's been on my table for a month.
If my dad had met Taylor Swift they would have laughed a lot together. Maybe they would have written a song together or more likely, maybe my dad would have taught her how to weld. What is certain is that they both would have told me to get my lazy butt up because we had work to do.
Maybe you have some work to do too. Maybe you can find a way to be productive today. If so, my dad would be proud.

Sultans of String, released a fabulous new recording "Refuge" earlier this year – an album that highlights the extraordinary contributions that indigenous people, immigrants and refugees make to culture and life in North America. Refuge features collaborations with over 30 musicians including Béla Fleck, Robi Botos, Ifrah Mansour, Demetrios Petsalakis, Imad Al Taha, Amir Amiri, Duke Redbird and Twin Flames. Sultans of String were supposed to be out on tour across both North America and the UK this year but because of the on-going pandemic none of that has been able to happen. Chris McKhool violinist and leader of the band joins us on a very special Covid Times edition of our video sister show, the Sun Parlour Coffee House Sessions to chat about the new album, and how the band has been impacted by the on-going emergency while sharing some of the fabulous videos they have prepared to support what is truly a fantastic project. Unfortunately because of the ongoing pandemic, we haven't been able to record any more video sessions, so we've switched to a socially distanced interview format similar to Folk Roots Radio. Since we started the Sun Parlour Coffee House Sessions, we've had 50 different artists/bands join us in the studio. Check them out online at sunparloursessions.com. Enjoy!.

We're bringing another of our Covid Times interviews to Episode 544 of Folk Roots Radio – an opportunity for artists to chat about how the coronavirus pandemic has upended their music careers. This time around we are joined by Chris McKhool, violinist and band leader of world folk combo, Sultans of String, who released a fabulous new recording "Refuge" earlier this year – an album that highlights the extraordinary contributions that indigenous people, immigrants and refugees make to culture and life in North America. Sultans of String were supposed to be out on tour across both North America and the UK this year. None of that has been able to happen which is why we encourage all our listeners – if you like the music you hear on this show, buy the music, don't just stream it! That way, you can really make a difference in artists lives during a period that they can't be out on the road. We also check out more of the latest new releases, and this time around we hear from Ruston Kelly, Will Kimbrough, The Bodarks and Vi Wickam and Paul Anastasio. Check out the full playlist below.

Nationally syndicated radio host and columnist Michael L. Brown provides a handbook for a biblically based moral and cultural renaissance, revealing that the key to recapturing America´s greatness consists in returning to our spiritual and moral roots. America is at a tipping point, and never has this been more apparent than right now. We are in danger of losing our spiritual and moral heritage, making many believe that we have fallen beyond the point of recovery. This book is here to say that yes, we have fallen. In fact fallen much further than we realize, but our country´s best days are ahead - with the help of a radical, moral, and cultural revolution, beginning with the church. This book is a manual for the revolution. On all fronts Americans are talking about the need for revolution, arguing from the left and the right that ´´the status quo must go!´´ This book comes at just the right time, as people are wondering what in the world has happened to our country - from homes to college campuses, from the inner cities to the White House, from our national debt to the material found on our computers and TV screens. In clear, compelling prose, Brown covers topics ranging from the sexualization of pop culture to the dumbing down of our schools, to the undermining of family structures, and to a pervasive culture of entitlement while pointing consistently to the Bible´s solution to these issues. A radical call for reformation written with sobriety and hope, Saving a Sick America provides the inspiration and guidance necessary for a moral and cultural revolution. 1. Language: English.

Giovanni Boccaccio, Dante, and Petrarch were the leading lights in a century that is considered the beginning of the Italian Renaissance. The Decameron, or Ten Days´ Entertainment, is his most famous work, a collection of stories considered representative of the Middle Ages, as well as a product of the Renaissance. This collection of tales is set in 1348, the year of the Black Death. Florence is a dying, corrupt city, described plainly in all of its horrors. Seven ladies and three gentlemen meet in a church and decide to escape from the charnel house of reality by staying in the hills of Fiesole; there they pass the time telling stories for 10 days. They set up a working arrangement whereby each would be king or queen for a day; each day the ruler commanded a story be told following certain stipulations. Their existence is that of the enchanted medieval dreamworld: a paradise of flowers, ever-flowing fountains, shade trees, soft breezes, where all luxuries of food and drink abound. Virtue reigns along with medieval gentilesse in its finest sense. The stories they weave, however, differ from their own idyllic sojourn. They tell tales about ordinary people, tales marked by intense realism in a world where dreams and enchanted gardens have little place. Boccaccio draws on the actual geography of the region to bring the stories alive; different social classes are portrayed with their own language and clothing. Within the stories told by his 10 refugees from Florence, the satire often bites deep, Boccaccio´s comic mood embracing evil and holiness alike with sympathy and tolerance. Like Chaucer, he is indulgent, exposing moral and social corruption but leaving guilty characters to condemn themselves. In its frank, open-minded treatment of flesh as flesh, its use of paradox, cynicism, and realistic handling of character, this work transcends the medieval period and, going beyond the Renaissance, takes its place as universal art. 1.

The Summer at Planet Earth Poetry
June 29 Heather Spears and Yvonne Blomer
Canadian writer and artist Heather Spears was educated at the University of British Columbia, The Vancouver School of Art and the University of Copenhagen. She is divorced and has 4 children. She has lived in Denmark since 1962. She has held over 75 solo exhibitions and published 11collections of poetry and 3 novels of speculative fiction (1991-96), the Moonfall Trilogy. The Flourish, (04) a novel of crime fiction and the family, came out in Canada and was republished in Europe as A Muted Voice (09). The Creative Eye (07), is the first of a series on visual perception. She has 3 books of drawings: Drawn from the Fire (89) Massacre (90); and Line by Line (02). Drawings from the Newborn (86), The Panum Poems (96) and Required Reading (00) contain both poems and full-page drawings. Her latest collection of poetry, I can still draw (08), was shortlisted for the Lowther Memorial Award. She has illustrated numerous books and articles; and also draws courtroom, dance, theatre and childbirth. Specialising in drawing children, in particular premature and other threatened infants, she travels widely and has drawn in hospitals in the Middle East, Europe and America.
Yvonne Blomer is Planet Earth Poetry's Artistic Director. She will be launching her second full collection of poems The Book of Places published this spring by Black Moss Press.
Yvonne Blomer lives in Victoria, BC where she works as a poet, memoirist, writing teacher, event organizer and mom. She was born in Zimbabwe and came to Canada when she was two years old. With her husband she has taught in Japan, cycled in Southeast Asia and lived in the UK where she completed an MA in Creative Writing: Poetry. Her poems have twice been shortlisted for the CBC Literary awards and have appeared in literary journals in Canada, the US, Japan and the UK. Her first collection of poetry, a broken mirror, fallen leaf (Ekstasis Editions), was shortlisted for The Gerald Lampert Memorial Award in 2007. She is the host/organizer of the Planet Earth Poetry Reading Series in Victoria, B.C. In 2012 Yvonne's illustrated series of poems "Bicycle Brand Journey" will launch with Jack Pine Press.
Serious, playful, and governed by the eye's apprehension of the familiar as well as the shockingly new, Yvonne Blomer's Book of Places takes us cycling through Asian landscapes, Britain's stone cathedrals, and the intimate landmarks of home, where these poems accumulate earthly wonders: rivers and rain, animals, leaves, bamboo's hollow knock against stone. She drops the pebble of a word into a mirror pool, and its ripples expand into the still pond of the reader's mind.

Air travel is something that we've all come to depend on for work and play, whether we're headed to a tropical beach for some sun and relaxation, a distant country for culture and good eats, or a city across the coast for a business trip or family visit. But did you know that standards for airplanes, airports, and travel gear help keep us safe and comfortable until we reach our destination?
First, pack your bags…and make sure they're sturdy ones! ASTM D3511/D3511M-16, Standard Test Method for Pilling Resistance and Other Related Surface Changes of Textile Fabrics: Brush Pilling Tester, provides test methods of textiles for items used in abrasive environments, such as for luggage, upholstery, heavy duty uniforms, and car seats. It determines whether these fabrics will form pills or show other related surface changes during heavy use – for example, suitcases being thrown into a cargo container. It was developed by ASTM International, a member and audited designator of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Once you arrive at the airport, standards support appropriate conditions for safe and smooth operations. IES RP-37-15, Outdoor Lighting for Airport Environments, provides guidance for the lighting of aircraft stands and apron areas, roadways, vehicular parking facilities, passenger loading and unloading areas, and pedestrian walkways, while emphasizing the restrictions, regulations, and best practices for safety movement of aircraft. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IENSA), an ANSI member and accredited standards developer, developed this document.
A fire breaking out at a busy airport may not be the first thing on travelers' minds, but airports must be prepared for this frightening possibility. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) offers several standards for firefighting operations at airports, including NFPA 402-2019, Guide for Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Operations, and NFPA 1003-2019, Standard for Airport Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications. NFPA is an ANSI member and audited designator.
Flying is exciting for some and nerve-wracking for others, but no matter how you feel about your travels, you can rest assured that standards are there for the safety and enjoyment of your trip.


- 7:00-9:00 PM First evening film screening in the Whitney Humanities Center with post-screening discussion. Films will include Early Monthly Segments (1968-70/2002), The Stoas (1991-97), and The Ground (1993/2001).
- 7:00 PM Second evening film screening in the Whitney Humanities Center Auditorium with discussion. Films will include Ruskin (1975/1997) and Pitcher of Colored Light (2007).
- Presentation by Richard Suchenski on Robert Beavers' work at the Yale University Art Gallery beginning with a screening of Amor (1980).
This three-day visit will provide students and faculty at Yale with a rare opportunity to see a wide range of Beavers' films and to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue with him about his work.
Co-sponsored by the Yale Avant-Garde Film Colloquium, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Council on European Studies, and Saybrook College.
Although modernism has come to an end, modernist thought is still alive. The idea of changing the world and bringing new order is prevailing and subject to numerous transmutations. So is socialism, which keeps changing and seeking to put revolutionary ideas into practice. In a film, Brzezinski wish to juxtapose Soviet socialism with an intellectual and sophisticated French socialism, as well as, with Polish social reality. As a result, the film s recipients will be able to transfer certain values and mental situations from one area to another. Images taken from the home archive of people belonging to post-punk culture were here put side by side with the pictures showing the dark side of living in a post-soviet reality and D. Vertov s film Enthusiasm: Donbass Symphony. Moreover, the film The Society of the Spectacle was re-edited to fit G. Debord s text. Apparently then, the work becomes a recycling of culture and memory enriched with abstract elements, closed-eye visions and the aesthetics of video images.
The technique of digital electronics was used in the film completion. However, it only simulates other media and employs temporal aspects of time during which the film was made. Hence, it seems to be a perfect medium for a found footage mystification. My approach to the simulation of other media effects is a flexible one. Occasionally, I tend to cause a disturbance by distorting video and marking it with the traits of film images, or vice versa. It is then an innocent play with the role of propaganda films, even those from the home archive.
Each and every medium is, after all, ideologically marked.
Thorsten Fleisch, German artist, winner of many prestigious awards visits Parakino. His works have become a constant show at film festivals. His films examine the relationship with great sensitivity and awareness of historical context. His films are also a full sense of the word experiment and the artist becomes a researcher looking for new ways to view the new images, new contexts.
Landscape film is a trend of the British film avant-garde. It refers to the structural focus on the nature of the medium (the characteristic feature of cinematic representation), with the emphasis on its illusionary character, easily recognisable thanks to the references to the history of art and art-historical category of the landscape. The essential artists of landscape film were Chris Welsby and William Raban. As representative examples, A.L. Rees lists Park Film (1972) and Streamline (1976) of Chris Welsby, River Ya (1972) of William Raban and Welsby. Dagmara Rode s presentation includes posterior works of the artists.
Professor Ryszard W. Kluszczynski s presentation provides an occasion to look at the art of the classics of the genre systematically and methodologically. Using their art as example, the lecturer will introduce his original topology of video art. Woody and Steina Vasulka is an artist couple who exerted an enormous impact on the development of video art, playing an exceptional role in the field. Active since the 1960s, they created video tapes, installations and performance. They founded The Kitchen the famous New York-based alternative organisation. Together with Gene Youngblood and Peter Weibel, they shaped the ideas of media art. They contributed especially to the development of video which used devices processing and generating electronic signals. Still active today, they combine artistic creation and educational and curatorial activity.
A presentation of the book of Krzysztof Jurecki. It contains twenty conversations about photography, performance, video and painting, carried with both renowned as well as less known artists of considerable artistic potential. The interviews are categorised into groups. The first one are conversations with the artists of the neo-avant-garde and Kultura Zrzuty (Andrzej Rózycki, Andrzej Kwietniewski of Lódz Kaliska art group, Zbigniew Libera and Grzegorz Zygier), who sometimes distance themselves from the mainstream (Rózycki). The next group are women artists with feminist viewpoint: Ewa Swidzinska and Magdalena Samborska. Joanna Zastrózna, Magda Hueckel and Sylwia Kowalczyk represent ideologies of different kind, even if being close to feminism. The dominant of the book is located in the third cluster of interviews, devoted to the topic of the sacred, the religiousness or the lack of it, search for spirituality in the Christian aspect (Zbigniew Treppa, Jan G. Issaieff, Basia Sokolowska), in the aspect of the Far East (Andrzej Dudek-Dürer, Katarzyna Majak), in the aspect of shamanism (Marek Rogulski) or video technology (Michal Brzezinski). The last group is represented by the artists true to photography, though of differing origin, like: photography teacher Waldemar Jama, pictorialist and portraitist Marek Gardulski, Wojciech Zawadzki one of the founder of the programme of elementary photography and Jelenia Góra school of photography and Ireneusz Zjezdzalka representative of the new documentary .
*Los Angeles Filmforum* invites film and videomakers to take part in the *2009 FESTIVAL OF (IN)APPROPRIATION*.
*WHEN*: Entries must be received by April 1, 2009.
Whether you call it collage, compilation, found footage, detournement, or recycled cinema, the incorporation of previously shot materials into new artworks is a practice that has generated novel juxtapositions of elements which have produced new meanings and ideas that may not have been intended by the original makers, that are, in other words "inappropriate." This act of appropriation may produce revelation that leads viewers to reconsider the relationship between past and present, here and there, intention and subversion. Fortunately for our purposes, the past decade has seen the emergence of a wealth of new sources for audiovisual materials that can be appropriated into new works. In addition to official state and commercial archives, vernacular archives, home movie collections, and digital archives have provided fascinating source material that may be repurposed in such a way as to give it new meanings and resonances.
Thus, Los Angeles Filmforum invites submissions for a Festival of (In)appropriation, open to all works that appropriate film or video footage and repurpose it in "inappropriate" ways. We will consider both films and videos, including works that are made up entirely of found footage and those that only use small segments of appropriated material. Particular consideration will be given to films that repurpose materials in an inventive way and to films that are under twenty minutes long. We will only accept work finished in 2006 or later.
The Festival of (In)appropriation will take place in June 2009.
• Submissions must be 20 minutes or less and must contain some form of "(in)appropriation."
• Acceptable exhibition formats: mini-DV, DV-Cam, 16mm film, 35mm film, DVD (but discouraged, since DVD is not a reliable projection medium).
• Please include: title, filmmaker, running time, a 30-word or less synopsis, and contact information (phone and email).
Los Angeles Filmforum is the city's longest-running organization dedicated to weekly screenings of experimental film and video art, documentaries, and experimental animation.
This month's programme looks at plastic, quasi-sculptural aspects of cinema as present in a series of correlated explorations of light, space and repetition. The starting point in selecting these films was Making a Home (2007), a video work by Cork-based artist Maximilian Le Cain, who also collaborated in curating this programme. The other films were selected for the various ways in which they resonate with and expand certain features present in Making a Home. In general terms, the films we are presenting (dis)articulate the structures of architecture, in the broadest and most perceptual sense of the word- space as it is objectively constructed (or dismantled), but also as it is experienced by the camera eye, by fictional characters and by the audience. Whilst each of the four films puts a different emphasis on one or more of these three centres of attention, they have in common that their drama is an individual subject's direct perceptual experience of light, time and space, occurring at the extreme limits of his or her senses.

UCLA Film and Television Archive and the Center for Visual Music (CVM) are pleased to present a new program of rarely screened films from the CVM collection, at The Billy Wilder Theatre at The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles on January 21, 2009. This evening features a range of works, from experiments by German film pioneers to light show psychedelia, and highlights the evolving technology and artistic sophistication of visual music and experimental animation. This new program curated by CVM includes little-seen films by Oskar Fischinger, Jules Engel, Charles Dockum, Mary Ellen Bute, John Stehura, David Lebrun, and Sixties Light Show films by Jud Yalkut/USCO and The Single Wing Turquoise Bird.
emerges from this program is a dialogue between structure and spontaneity in visual music. A number of the films were made in Southern California, including early experiments in computer graphics from UCLA in the 1960s and Cal Arts in the 1970s. Many of the prints in this show represent recent preservation work by CVM.
The program will be presented by archivist/curator Cindy Keefer, and a Q&A will follow the screening with filmmakers Michael Scroggins, David Lebrun and Peter Mays.
Funding for the preservation of many of the films was provided, in part, by the National Film Preservation Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Jules Engel Preservation Project, Deutsches Filmmuseum and private donors. Mood Contrasts screened courtesy Cecile Starr.
FREE admission. 16mm/35mm. 7:30 pm show.
NOTE: As admission is free, UCLA does not offer advance reserved seating through their website.
Parking is available in the Hammer Museum structure, enter on Westwood Blvd.
Next week will see the first edition of the Italian Experimental Cinema festival, featuring the work of over 40 artists through several screenings, graphic works, photos and multimedia installations.
The event, subtitled "From the origins of Futurism to the new millenium" will feature works from the begginings of last century, including predecessors and derivatives of the Futurist movement such as Le Farfalle (anonymous, 107) or Rapsodia Satanica (Nino Oxilia, 1914) to brad retrospectibves of filmmakers such as Cioni Carpi, Bruno Munari & Marcello Piccardo, Andrea Flamini and Nato Frascà and several themed programmes. The festival programme has been curated by Piero Pala.
The festival will be held from the 10th to the 14th December 2008 at the Embassy of France (Palazzo Farnese, Rome) and at the Nuovo Cinema Aquila (Via L'Aquila 68, Rome).
no.w.here present a screening and workshop with Chicago based artist Ben Russell . Russell is an itenerant experimental filmmaker and curator who has shown his work at venues and festivals all over the world.

Q: How to assign variable from grep output in a while loop I wanted to create a variable for each grep regex line from Usernames.txt file.
The text contains this
mario,visitor
bobmarley,staff
luigi,visitor
hailey,visitor

and so on.
I want the name from before the comma as a username and visitor as the group for the user
#!/bin/bash
sudo addgroup visitor
sudo addgroup staff

filename='Usernames.txt'

while read line; do
username=$(echo $line | grep -o '^[a-z]*[^,]')
group=$(echo $line | grep -o '[^,][a-z]*$')
sudo useradd $username -G $group -p $username
done < $filename

but the output says command username not found.
So instead I tried not so efficient method
while read line; do
sudo useradd $(echo $line | grep -o '^[a-z]*[^,]') -G $(echo $line | grep -o '[^,][a-z]*$') -p $(echo $line | grep -o '^[a-z]*[^,]')
done < $filename

I want the result of each loop to be like this
sudo useradd mario -G visitor -p mario

How do I improve this? Thanks!

A: Forking of multiple processes (e.g. grep) on every single loop iteration is a bad idea in general. Also, simple word splitting can be done directly in Bash, without any external processes.
Option 1:
while IFS= read -r line; do
  username="${line%,*}"
  group="${line#*,}"
  echo sudo useradd "$username" -G "$group" -p "$username"
done < "$filename"

Option 2:
while IFS=, read -r username group; do
  echo sudo useradd "$username" -G "$group" -p "$username"
done < "$filename"

A: Try this approach
while read -r name role; do
    sudo useradd $name -G $role -p $name
done < <(sed 's/,/ /' $filename)

Actually sed is enough:
sudo sed 's/\(.*\),\(.*\)/useradd \1 -G \2 -p \1/e' $filename

This system is called a TOTAL OPERATING PROCEDURES SYSTEM or TOPS for short, basicaly it a numerical identification system where each number stands for some statistic of the type of train. By using these numbers it is far easier for a railway controller or planner to see what equipment is available to him in an easy to comprehend format. With the amount of rolling stock operated by railway companies, it is easier to identify a loco or coach in this way rather than having reams and reams of paperwork that give exact details of every vehicle..

When will the more colonially minded Brits realise that they don't have an empire any more? They should just grow up and realise that the Parthenon marbles are just as "at home" in the British Museum as a deep sea bass is in the Sahara. The Parthenon marbles (as the name suggests) belong in the Parthenon they are part of a whole structure, and were only removed and sold by people who had no rights to it anyway. For the UK to hang on to them and for people to claim that the Brits have some kind of rights to them (as the receivers of stolen goods, presumably) is to cling desperately to the past.

Other than a brief foray into a brash, more guitar driven sound on Impeach My Bush, the bulk of the Peaches canon finds the artist resorting to her default musical mode: a deadpan half rapped growl over squelchy beats.Peaches' new album, I Feel Cream, may be her most shocking release to date. Why? Because the over the top performer challenges herself to step up as a musician, resulting in some remarkably good disco tunes that reveal Peaches is a decent club singer. This will come as no shock to those who remember Nisker from her pre electro trash days, when she was half of a coffeehouse folk duo known as Mermaid Cafe.)Happily, she's smart enough to have recruited some solid producers to create slinky, synthesized dancefloor friendly backdrops for her tunes.

Combustible Cladding – Partial Removal not Accepted for Malvern Building
Contributed by Phillip Leaman Principal at Tisher Liner FC Law
Many owners corporations have issues with combustible cladding. A Malvern Road property's attempt to get a solution to avoid full replacement was not approved by the Building Appeals Board.
The Building Appeals Board has rejected a Malvern Owners Corporation's application for a determination that partial removal of combustible cladding will comply with legal requirements, based on insufficient expert evidence.
An Owners Corporation for a mixed residential & retail building on Malvern Road, Malvern, that has almost one-quarter of its external surfaces clad with combustible expanded polystyrene cladding was issued with a building notice by the municipal building surveyor for the City of Stonnington in June 2018. The building notice required the Owners Corporation to show, within 30 days, why the cladding should not be removed in 30 days.
The Owners Corporation decided to engage Roscon Property Services ("Roscon") to prepare a fire engineer's report to assess what work would be required to ensure the building complied with the relevant performance requirements of the National Construction Code.
The report prepared by Roscon dated 3 April 2019, and which was said to have been 'authorised and approved' by fire engineer, John Kendrick, gave an opinion that, subject to certain further remedial work being undertaken, the building could retain the existing combustible wall cladding and still meet the applicable fire safety performance requirements of the National Construction Code.
The Owners Corporation made an application to the Building Appeals Board for a 'design determination' under section 160A of the Building Act 1993 in reliance on the opinion in the Roscon Report to the effect that the combustible cladding could be retained subject to further remedial works being undertaken.
During the hearing, John Kendrick the fire engineer who appeared for the Owners Corporation in the Building Appeals Board proceeding and who had 'authorised and approved' the Roscon Report "…inexplicably…almost immediately conceded that all the [combustible cladding] should be removed from the building", which was inconsistent with the opinion expressed in the Roscon Report that he had approved.
After hearing from the Chief Officer of the Melbourne Fire Brigade, the Victorian Building Authority and Mr. Kendrick, the Building Appeals Board did not accept the findings or recommendations expressed in the Roscon Report and found that the Roscon Report lacked probative value.
The Owners Corporation's application for a building design determination based on the recommendations in the Roscon Report was therefore dismissed by the Building Appeals Board.
The Owners Corporation will now need to undertake further work to obtain a solution for the removal and replacement of the conbustible cladding.
We have experience in dealing with building defects concerning combustible cladding and with Cladding Safety Victoria for high risk buildings that are part of the government funded scheme.
It is important that a fire services engineer carefully reviews the work required to comply with any building order to ensure that the Building Appeals Board accepts the proposed course of action.

Shared Services and Outsourcing have both proven to be a great business model for reducing operating costs and gaining greater operational scalability for your back office while maintaining a high quality of customer service.
The typical back-office of most organizations spends 75-80% of their time "keeping the lights on." This means transactional processing and non-value added activities. This dynamic leaves only 20-25% of your capacity for business growth activities such as strategic planning, customer insights, and analytics.
Today's competitive business landscape calls for aggressive and sustainable ways to cut internal costs without compromising the service levels of the organization. One area that has been prone to drive cost-cutting initiatives, and will continue to do so going forward is the back office through the establishment of shared services and outsourcing models.
The 21st HR Shared Services & Outsourcing Summit, organized by IQPC, was held this week in Chicago from May 15th to May 18th, 2017.
There's no question about it - today's customers are more demanding than ever. With an ever-increasing number of channels becoming available to research, compare prices, find deals, purchase, receive and return products and services, retailers must not only deploy the technologies to support an omnichannel world, but deliver the best customer service possible.
Are You Achieving the Expected Cost Savings from Outsourcing?
Once you've made the decision to outsource, how should you begin the process?

Introduction: Skeletal involvement in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a common feature of the disease. Several options for the treatment of these skeletal lesions have been reported. We describe our experience in the treatment of skeletal involvement of LCH in this retrospective case series study, entailing anatomic distribution, pattern of healing, skeletal deformities, and functional outcome of skeletal LCH. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted for patients diagnosed with LCH and having skeletal lesions in the period between 2007 and 2015. Out of a total of 229 cases, 191 (83.4%) had skeletal involvement. Bone healing was divided into partial and complete based on the size of lesion and cortical changes in plain radiograph. Skeletal deformities were serially measured. Time to pain control, resumption of weight bearing, and the final functional status of the patient were reviewed. Results: The mean age at presentation was 4.4 years (3 m–14.8 y) and the mean follow-up period was 53.3 months (0.2–120.7). After screening of skeletal and extra-skeletal lesions, 59 patients (31%) had M-S (Multisystem) LCH and 132 (69%) had S-S (Single system) LCH. Unifocal bone lesions were found in 81 (42.5%) patients, and multifocal bone lesions in 110 patients (57.5%). Single or multiple bone lesions were found in the craniofacial bones in 152 patients (79.5%), femur in 19 patients, (10%), ribs in 18 patients (9.4%), spine in 15 patients (8.1%), pelvis in 14 patients (7.3%), scapula in 8 patients (4.1%), humerus in 6 (3.1%), clavicle in 6 patients (3.1%), tibia in 3 patients (1.5%), radius in 3 patients (1.5%), and the ulna in 2 patients (1%) patients. No lesions were found in the fibula, hand, or foot. Out of all skeletal lesions, 179 (93.7%) patients were treated either medically or conservatively and 12 patients (6.2%) were treated surgically. The mean time to complete healing was 5.2 months (2–12). Skeletal complications included: pathologic fractures (9 vertebra plana, 5 long bone, 1 iliac bone), deformities (9 thoracolumbar kyphosis, 2 cervical spine subluxations, 2 coxa vara deformity of the proximal femur and one flattening of iliac bone). Conclusion: Non-operative treatment can lead to adequate bone healing in few months period. Partial or complete remodeling of bone deformities can be observed without surgical correction. However, surgical intervention might be indicated when cervical spine affection may lead to instability and subsequent neurological affection. Functional impairment is rarely caused by skeletal lesions in LCH.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder that is characterized by abnormal clonal proliferation of Langerhans-type dendritic cells [1]. It can affect several organs or systems in the body with skeletal system being the most frequently involved in around 80% of patients [2]. Histiocyte society categorized LCH into three types: single-system single-site (SS-s), single-system multiple-site (SS-m), and multisystem (MS). MS disease has been further subclassified into MS without risk organ involvement and MS with risk organ involvement [3, 4]. Although the prognosis is excellent for patients without risk organ involvement, twenty to thirty percent of patients with S-S bone disease developed permanent consequences, the majority of which are orthopedic complications directly related to the LCH bone lesion [2, 5].
Several options have been reported for the treatment for single bone lesions, including a simple biopsy and observation, oral treatment with indomethacin, systemic or local corticosteroid injection into bone lesions, curettage and bone grafting, and internal fixation to avoid fracture and deformity [6]. Most recent reports have shown adequate control of pain following simple biopsy and observation; however, few describe time to healing, possible deformities, and potential for remodeling which were the aims of the current retrospective analysis [7].
A retrospective analysis was conducted for patients who were diagnosed with LCH in the authors' institute. In the period between 2007 and 2015, medical records of 229 patients were reviewed. Diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically by immunophenotyping for CD1a or CD207 (langerin) with or without S100, according to the Histiocyte Society criteria [3]. A biopsy was performed in all patients with the exception of 10 patients for which no histopathologic diagnosis could be found in their medical records and 2 patients for which a biopsy was not technically feasible. In the remaining 217 patients, 59 patients were referred to hospital with already performed biopsy and 158 patients did bone or soft tissue biopsy in the authors' institute. It is reported in the literature that when the risk of biopsy outweighs the need for a definitive diagnosis, biopsy could be skipped and treatment plan will be applied with close monitoring [3, 4].
Radiological assessment included a plain radiographic skeletal survey, plain anteroposterior chest radiograph, and abdominal ultrasound. Further imaging studies such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging were done on a case-by-case basis.
From a total of 229 patients, 38 patients (16.6%) had no skeletal involvement. These patients were excluded from the current study, leaving a final number of 191 patients (83.4%) who were subjected to analyses. The medical records of the latter group of patients were reviewed for age, gender, follow-up duration, skeletal distribution and number of lesions, radiographic time to healing and remodeling, complications such as fracture or deformity, and functional outcome. The first visit for patients in the orthopedic clinic was generally held between week 3 and 4 from diagnosis. Further follow-up was at 3 monthly intervals until complete healing of bony lesions and thereafter every 6 months for the following 2 years.
To define the quality of bone healing, we devised a radiographic staging system for skeletal lesions based on two criteria: cortical healing or remodeling and the decrease in size of lytic area (Table 1). Healing was classified accordingly into partial (PH) and complete (CH). Any appreciable deformity in plain radiographs was measured and followed for remodeling or progression throughout serial radiographic evaluations done for each patient. Functional evaluation was based on the following criteria: time to pain improvement, period of immobilization, time to return to activity since diagnosis, and the presence of any clinically recorded disability and its progression until latest clinical evaluation of the patient.
Stages of bone healing.
The mean age at presentation was 4.4 years (3 m–14.8 y) and the mean follow-up period was 53.3 months (0.2 m–120.7 m). There were 110 male and 81 female patients. Among a total 191 patients with skeletal involvement, 59 (31%) were part of M-S LCH, and 132 patients (69%) had S-S disease with the skeletal system as the only involved organ. Among S-S LCH, 67 patients (51%) had a unifocal bone lesion and 65 patients (49%) had multifocal bone lesions. Among M-S LCH, 14 patients (24%) had single bone lesion, and 45 patients (76%) had multiple bone lesions. Table 2 shows the number and frequency of skeletal lesions according to their anatomic distribution, survival rates of different case categories as well as age at presentation and follow-up duration.

Axial skeleton
Craniofacial region
Craniofacial region is the most commonly involved part of the skeleton in 152 patients (79.5%). Skull lesions were solitary in 78% of patients. The parietal bone was most common site in 33% of patients, followed by the frontal bone in 14%. The orbit was involved in 10% of the craniofacial bones and the mandible in 3%. Out of the total craniofacial lesions, 27 (17.7%) had an open biopsy and 9 patients (5.9%) were locally treated by excisional biopsy (5 skull, 2 orbital, and 2 mandibular lesions). No patient ocular or neurologic complications were recorded secondary to a nearby bone lesion.
Spine was involved in 15 patients (8.1%). In order of frequency, the dorsal vertebrae were the most commonly involved in 8 patients, followed by the cervical spine in 5 patients and the lumbar spine in 4 patients. Two patients had combined lumbar and dorsal spine affection and one patient had combined cervical and dorsal spine involvement. Apart from two patients who presented with anterior wedging of the involved vertebrae, 13 patients had complete flattening of the affected vertebrae with a resulting thoracic kyphosis and a mean Cobb's angle of 44° (34°–74°) in 8 patients and subluxation at the level of C1–C2, C4–5, and C7–T1 in three patients. All patients with thoracic and lumbar involvement were treated conservatively using thoracolumbar support and follow-up. Partial restoration of the vertebral height to greater than 50% was noticed in 10 patients after a mean follow-up duration of 49 months (36–84). Figure 1 shows spontaneous complete restoration of vertebral height and complete remodeling in first lumbar vertebra in a 3-year-old girl. Two patients died of disease 26 and 28 months since the date of first presentation and had persistent flattening of the involved vertebrae in their latest radiographic evaluation. Among patients with subluxation of cervical spine, none had any neurologic deficit due to the existing instability neither at presentation nor at their latest follow-up visit. Two patients were surgically treated by anterior and posterior fixation at the level C1–C2 and C7–T1 (Figure 2). One patient with flattening and subluxation at the level of C4–C5 was treated conservatively with spontaneous reduction of the subluxation and partial restoration of the vertebral height at 48 months of follow-up.

(D) Follow-up radiograph after 1 year. (E) Follow-up CT scan after 5 years showing complete fusion of C1–C2.
Pelvis was involved in 15 patients (7.8%). The most commonly affected part of the hemipelvis was the ilium in 6 patients, followed by the acetabulum in 4 patients and the inferior pubic ramus in 1 patient. Four patients had diffuse pelvic infiltration as part of their M-S disease. All patients were treated conservatively without any additional surgery apart from the open biopsy. Complete healing developed at a mean of 9.3 months (3–20). None of the patients with acetabular lesions develop any acetabular deformities or joint damage and all had a normal range of motion of their hips at their latest follow-up.
Appendicular skeleton
Femur was involved in 19 patients (11.1%). This included 12 patients with S-S LCH and 7 patients with M-S LCH. All S-S unifocal lesions were diaphyseal located, while 4 out of 7 multifocal lesions were in the proximal femur. Out of a total of 19 patients, 3 (15.7%) presented with pathologic fractures, 2 in the proximal femur with coxa varus deformity of the femoral neck, and one pathologic fracture of the midshaft. Eighteen patients were treated conservatively by immobilization in cast until the consolidation of the femoral cortex at a mean of 2.7 months (2–4). One patient was treated by open curettage of the lesion and filling of the bone cavity with bone graft substitute. All lesions showed radiographic evidence of complete healing at a mean of 7.5 months (3–12). Plain radiographic evidence of complete remodeling of the femoral neck and correction of the varus deformity was observed one year following presentation, in a 4-year-old child who presented with fracture and coxa vara angulation of the femoral neck (Figure 3). Another 7-year-old patient with coxa vara of the femoral neck was lost to follow-up at 7 months from presentation and his last plain radiographs showed healing of the lesion but a persistent minimal coxa vara deformity.
Plain radiograph of the left hip of a 5-year-old boy diagnosed with LCH in the femoral neck managed conservatively. (A) Pathologic fracture of the left femoral neck on top of lytic lesion. (B) Healing of the fracture after 3 months. (C) Remodeling of the femoral neck at 1 year of follow-up. (D) Complete remodeling after 7-year follow-up.
Tibia involved in 3 patients. All were diaphyseal lesions and no patient presented with or developed any pathologic fracture or deformity during their follow-up. All lesions healed conservatively following an open biopsy.
Shoulder girdle
The humerus was involved in 6 patients. Three lesions were located in the proximal humeral metaphysis, two in the distal humerus, and one lesion was diaphyseal. All treated conservatively and healed without any fractures or deformities.
The scapula was involved in 8 patients (4 in the glenoid area, 3 involving the whole scapula and 1 lesion was localized to infraspinatus fossa). Five lesions were large in size ballooning the whole scapula but all were treated conservatively with complete healing and full range of motion of the shoulder joint at their latest follow-up.
The clavicle was involved in 6 patients and was treated conservatively without any resulting fractures or deformities.
The radius was involved in three and the ulna in two patients. Three lesions resulted in marked expansion of the proximal part of involved radius and ulna reaching the articular surface; however, all were treated conservatively with complete healing and full range of motion of the elbow joint (Figure 4). No lesions were recorded in hand or foot bones.
Plain radiograph of forearm of a 5-year-old girl diagnosed with LCH showing large osteolytic lesion of the ulna managed conservatively. (A and B) Anteroposterior and lateral views showing the large sized osteolytic lesion of the ulna. (C) Follow-up after two years showing partial remodeling. (D) Follow-up radiograph showing complete remodeling.
The reported survival rate for patients diagnosed with S-S and M-S risk organ negative LCH are over 90% [1, 2, 7]. In our case series, survival rate was about 100% in M-S risk organ negative LCH patients, though in all M-S patients it was about 84%, as all eleven died cases from M-S patients were risk organ positive cases. Survival rate was much better among skeletal system only LCH patients either single or multifocal cases. Various local treatment modalities are described in literature including, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, simple biopsy and observation, oral intake of indomethacin, local intralesional steroid injection, excisional biopsy or curettage and bone grafting [1, 8]. Recent reports showed that good results can be obtained following biopsy and follow-up of bone lesions [9]. Rivera et al. analyzed resolution of symptoms in 39 S-S unifocal skeletal lesions. The median time from biopsy to resolution of symptoms was 5.43 weeks and there was no significant difference among patients who received incisional biopsy, trocar biopsy or biopsy with grafting. They concluded that unifocal osseous lesions likely do not require aggressive surgical management [6]. The same conclusion was reached by Sasaki et al.; however, they stated that the optimal follow-up period is not yet established, and this should be a focus of studies in the future [7]. In the current study, our results are consistent with previous reports showing adequate healing of most of the lesions following a simple biopsy, but our results are more location specific, we suggested the partial healing concept as a tool to allow gradual return to full functional activity, as partial healing is mostly accompanied by improvement of pain which significantly affects the child physical activity. Time needed for these lesions to heal either partially or completely was analyzed for each anatomic location. Most radiographs showed evidence of partial healing at 2.3 months (1.5–5) by which time the patient was allowed progressive return to activity and complete healing at 7.2 months (2–25). Restriction of activity until complete healing was not done in any patient and no patient showed evidence of fracture or deformity secondary to earlier mobilization. It is noteworthy that spine involvement takes obviously longer time till restoration of the vertebral height and remodeling, restoration of more than 50% of vertebral height was considered as partial healing, though pain control was achieved at much earlier time. In two cervical cases with instability at C1–C2 and C7–T1 levels, we were afraid of progressive deformity or occurrence of neurological deficit, thus we proceeded to fixation and fusion, though in another case with instability of C4–C5 level was managed conservatively using a rigid cervical collar and close follow-up with spontaneous improvement and restoration of vertebral height at 48 months, This was consistent with the findings of Dormans et al. on their series of patients with spinal LCH. They stated that no patient had neurologic impairment and concluded that most patients can be treated conservatively without the need for surgery [10].
Pelvic involvement shows an excellent outcome even with diffuse infiltration or acetabular involvement, Remodeling of pelvic bones occurs at a longer time tan craniofacial or long bones, but eventually with minimal, if any morbidity. No persistent deformity, pathological fracture, or other complication was reported. Long bone lesions heal at a faster rate than pelvic ones, femoral lesions which constitute the majority of long bone affection healed partially with return to physical activity in a mean of 2.7 months, in only one of earlier cases we did curettage and used bone substitute to fill the cavity. Even in peritrochantric area and femoral neck, conservative treatment yields satisfactory results; Figure 3 shows the gradual remodeling of coxa vara deformity over a period of 12 months, complete restoration of the neck shaft angle was noted about 48 month duration. Tibial, humeral, radial, and ulnar lesions had healed at nearly comparable durations and faster than femoral lesions do; due to a relatively smallr number of cases, we could not run a statistical test to show the significant difference between weight bearing and non-weight bearing bones, or between flat bones and long bones. We recommended protected weight bearing in lower limb or splinting in upper limb is applied till partial bone healing is radiologically evident. Comparing our results to local corticosteroid injection done by Mavrogenis et al., they had mean time to complete bone healing of 1 year (8–14 months), which demonstrates that local corticosteroid injection did not hasten the time to bone healing as compared to simple biopsy and observation [8]. Braier et al. used Indomethacin for treatment of symptomatic bone lesions in 38 LCH patients. The median duration of treatment was 3 months and 81% of patients had non-active disease at 8 weeks of treatment. They stated that bone healing was slow and was not in parallel with the disease response and that their cutoff point of 8 weeks may be insufficient to evaluate the response of bone lesions and therefore the optimal duration of therapy was difficult to establish and was not uniform in all their patients [11]. As previously mentioned, in the current analyses, the mean time to partial bone healing was 2.3 months which is consistent with their 8-week-cutoff point for assessment of treatment response and indicates the insignificant difference between simple biopsy and Indomethacin treatment in terms of disease control (Table 3).
Anatomic distribution of skeletal lesions, time to partial and complete healing.
We also analyzed skeletal deformities and their course throughout follow-up of patients and we found that almost half of the deformities are manifested in the form of bone expansions without any deleterious biomechanical effect in spite of the stationary course of these expansions after bone healing. The other half of patients who developed skeletal deformities had angular malalignment secondary to pathologic fractures, or vertebra plana cases which were gradually remodeled; iliac bone flattening had occurred in one case, and spontaneously improved. The majority of these patients were conservatively treated and over 90% showed partial remodeling of the deformity without any functional impairment at their latest follow-up visit.
Spontaneous improvement of the skeletal involvement of LCH lesions is expected in majority of cases even after a simple core or open biopsy which can lead to healing and partial remodeling of bone in a time frame comparable to that previously reported with other lines of treatment. This conservative management avoids unnecessary surgeries or medications with their possible associated risks or side effects. In addition, the demonstrated relatively high ability of the bone to remodel in these young LCH patients compared to adult population, encourages the usefulness of watchful observation of skeletal deformities and reservation of surgical interference for the few recalcitrant cases which do not show evidence of healing and or are associated with functional impairment.

Q: Need help to identify the actual date time format I have been struggling since few days to identify correct format for sample input date:
2020-01-30 14:39:25.022000 +00:00:00
Background :
I am working on data migration with postgres. And, have identified that in DB, the datetime related fields like 'modifiedAt' have datatype as varchar, which is bit weird. These records have values in above mentioned format.
I have fixed it in new postgres DB instance with datatype as timestamp. After migrating data, these fields are showing datetime in following format:
2020-01-30 14:39:25
How can I format above date to give output in this dateformat 2020-01-30 14:39:25.022000 +00:00:00?
Any help will be appreciated.

A: First you want to use timestamptz not timestamp. timestamptz does not actually store the time zone, it just makes the value time zone aware. For more information on this see:
Time Stamps 8.5.1.3. Time Stamps.
Second it looks like you did something like timestamp(0) which reduced the precision to whole seconds. If you leave the precision alone you get:
select '2020-01-30 14:39:25.022000 +00:00:00'::timestamptz;
         timestamptz
-----------------------------
 01/30/2020 06:39:25.022 PST

-- I am in PST so the value gets rotated to that time zone for display.

-- If you want something closer to you desired output, then:

select to_char('2020-01-30 14:39:25.022000 +00:00:00'::timestamptz AT TIME ZONE 'UTC', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.USOF');
            to_char
-------------------------------
 2020-01-30 14:39:25.022000+00

A: While your timestamp strings do appear to have a time zone component, it is +00, which is the default for timestamps.  So, you might be able to just use TO_TIMESTAMP here with an appropriate format mask covering microseconds:
WITH yourTable AS (
    SELECT '2020-01-30 14:39:25.022123 +00:00:00'::text AS ts
)

SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP(LEFT(ts, 26), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.US')
FROM yourTable;

Demo
The output value from the demo above is 2020-01-30 14:39:25.022123+00

Kavieng is at the northern tip of New Ireland. New Ireland, it is 360 km long and not even 10km wide in some places. It's the second-largest of Papua New Guinea's outer islands and acts as the eastern barrier for the Bismarck Sea. A range of extremely rugged and steep mountains, reaching an elevation of six thousand feet, runs down the centre of the island. The scenery is stunning and contrasting – low lying coral islands surrounded by golden beaches and pretty, clear springs, flowing rivers, fringing reefs and mountainous islands which drop sharply into the sea.
Kavieng is the provincial capital and administrative centre of New Ireland Province. Kavieng and the surrounding area offers a range of accommodation, beautiful beaches and excellent reef and wreck diving. The road linking north to south is made from crushed coral and travel is easier by boat. Local Malangan culture in the northern and central part of the island is unique within the Pacific; this culture finds its beliefs in a social organisation according to kinship.
During WWII, Kavieng was at the front line of the Japanese' southward advance and many of New Ireland's towns, infrastructure and industry were destroyed. The area is littered with silent reminders of those days gone by both above and under the water.
New Ireland and its outer islands is an escapists dream. Relax Kavieng style and go surfing, snorkelling or diving. Then tuck into delicious seafood including coconut crabs, crayfish, reef fish and shellfish. You're sure to feel rested and recuperated after some time in this South Pacific paradise.
The temperature is always hot and humid between 24 – 33°C. There is a chance for rainy weather year-round, but there are wetter and drier seasons. The surf season is from November until late April.
Dry Season: August – November
Wet Season: December – July
Kavieng is world-renowned for its current-swept passages that attract a variety of big, pelagic fish action.
The waters surrounding Kavieng has excellent wreck, reef and drift diving as well as caves and plenty of pelagics. Visibility is often between 20-40 metres, with water temperatures of around 29°C. Drift dive along reef walls covered in fans, sponges and brightly coloured hard corals. The walls drop away to great depths and provide the perfect hiding place for small critters like the Pygmy Seahorse and nudibranchs. Several WWII wrecks lay scattered in and around Kavieng Harbour. These include a Japanese merchant ship and many floatplanes.
28 – 30°C, 3mm wetsuit or rashie
Year-round but April – July and September – November have the best weather and diving conditions.
Albatross Passage
A narrow channel between New Ireland and Baudissin. As the tide rushes in and out, the passage sucks reef fish and pelagics between and into its narrow flanks. Big eye trevally, Spanish mackerel, tuna, barracuda, reef sharks, turtles and rays are often spotted here.
Echuca Patch
The abundant coral ridge rises to within 15m of the surface and slopes down to 50m in open water, only minutes away from Scuba Ventures Jetty.
Wreck of The Der Yang
A Taiwanese fishing vessel scuttled by fisheries in 1988. She rests starboard side on top of the ridge and is covered in colourful soft corals.
The Stubborn Hellion
Sitting upright in 12m of water, close to Albatross Passage. The history of Stubborn Hellion is well documented, a great dive for wreck enthusiasts.
Surfers will be impressed by the numerous un-crowded surf breaks around Kavieng. Swells are a consistent 3 – 5 feet during surf season (November to April), sometimes getting up to 6 – 8 feet and there are both left and right brakes to suit different levels of surfers. Surf boat transfers need to be pre-arranged, and you will need to bring all your boards, equipment and spares.
The islands around Kavieng have many superb swimming beaches with crystal clear, coral-encrusted lagoons teeming with marine life, perfect for snorkelling and relaxing in a tropical paradise.
Sportfishing is also popular. Strong currents bring in pelagic fish such as Giant Trevally, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Barracuda as well as Yellowfin, Dogtooth and Skipjack Tuna. Plenty of Mangrove Jack, Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Rock Cod and Sweet Lips are caught closer to the fringing coral reefs.
Make the most of beautiful blue waters and hire a kayak, canoe or paddleboard. Or for those a little more adventurous set off sailing or go kitesurfing.
Take a tour and see some stunning coastal scenery, visit an Oil Palm Plantation, pet the freshwater eels at Cathy's Eelfarm, visit a local village and take a quick swim in the river. You can also visit some of the island villages. Remnants from WWII can also still be explored, such as Japanese bunkers and gun placements.
