Currently, Grier is touring the stand-up comedy circuit with the In Living Color cast.
On the big screen, he was recently seen in The Big Sick. Grier made his film debut in Streamers (1983), directed by Robert Altman, for which he won the Golden Lion for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival. He also appeared in the Wayans Brothers' spoof movie Dance Flick (2009). He can be seen in the upcoming Will Smith-produced film Sprinter.
Grier's television work is highlighted by a turn as principal cast member on the Emmy Award-winning sketch comedy show In Living Color (1990-1994), where he helped to create some of the show's most memorable characters, DAG (2000-2001), and Life with Bonnie (2003), which earned an Image and Golden Satellite nomination. He created, wrote and executive produced a show for Comedy Central called Chocolate News (2008) and starred in The Watsons Go to Birmingham, a Hallmark Channel adaptation of Paul Curtis' 1996 Newbery Award-winning novel by the same name. In 2014, Grier starred as Principal Carl Gaines on the CBS series Bad Teacher. He will star in The Cool Kids from 20th Century Fox Television in association with FX Productions later this year.
Grier began his professional career on Broadway as Jackie Robinson in The First, for which he earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical and won the Theatre World Award (1981). He then joined the cast of Dreamgirls before going on to star opposite Denzel Washington in A Soldier's Play, for which both actors reprised their roles in the film adaptation, A Soldier's Story (1984).
In 2009/2010 Grier starred in David Mamet's acclaimed play Race opposite James Spader and Kerry Washington at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway, for which he received his second Tony Award nomination. Grier received the third Tony Award nomination of his career in 2012 for his performance in the "stand-out role of the rakish, drug-dealing Sporting Life" (NY Times) in The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess.

After a stint on As the World Turns, he went on to appear in The Flamingo Kid, Hamburger Hill, Single White Female, The Temp, Jeffrey, and Dracula: Dead and Loving It!
On television, Weber played the young John F. Kennedy in the mini-series The Kennedys of Massachusetts and Jack Torrance in ABC's remake of The Shining. Weber gained national attention in the NBC sitcom Wings, and again, ten years later, in Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
Returning to the stage, Weber played 'Leo Bloom' in the hit Broadway production The Producers, starred in National Anthems at London's Old Vic and, most recently, in The Philanthropist opposite Matthew Broderick.

On the big screen, Gasteyer has been seen in Mean Girls, What Women Want, The Women, Dick, and Wine Country, co-staring with Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, and Tina Fey.

Since writing assessment of Basic Competence Test for Junior High School Students (BCTEST-WA) has been implemented from 2007, its reliability and validity has been one of the most concerning issues to public. Due to the reason that BCTEST-WA is a large-scale high-stake exam, but existing researches on reliability and validity of writing assessment are insufficient, the purpose of this study is to validate the reliability and validity of BCTEST-WA. Three approaches to validate the reliability include generalizability theory, raters' consensus, and raters' consistency. The exam validity was illustrated through collecting evidences based on test content, responses processes, and relations to other variables. The results show that BCTEST-WA, as a large-scale highstake exam, has high reliability and validity. This paper does not only present the evidences on the good reliability and validity of BCTEST-WA, but it also provides references on how to monitor and improve reliability and validity of high-stake writing assessments.

How Nelson Chow of NC Design & Architecture created this treehouse-like abode
This Compact 370sqft Kowloon Home is a Treehouse-inspired Retreat
By Nikey Cheng
While some fear that innovation and creativity are constrained by scope and proportion, Hong Kong-based multidisciplinary design practice NC Design & Architecture (NCDA) proves such worries are unfounded with this treehouse-inspired residence in Kowloon–measuring a mere 370sqft.
Nelson Chow, the principal of NCDA and lead designer on this project, says, "We saw endless possibilities in this space when we first arrived – the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and the forest view in the bedroom, to name a few."
The living and dining areas are subtly divided by a pinewood panelled ceiling completed with a custom-made linear overhead light
Having known one another for a long time, the homeowner granted Nelson and his design team complete freedom to work their magic. "Nelson is the best person to design my apartment," says the homeowner. "I entrust him to make all decisions. After all, good design can only be achieved when the designer is allowed to take the reins."
As expected, the results don't disappoint. Nelson took down the dividing wall between the living room and the bedroom to take full advantage of the picturesque, panoramic view, with rarely found greenery in the bustling city. To utilise the compact space as much as possible, he decided to create a platform bed, which later led to the treehouse idea. "We clad the bed with furnished pine wood and added a simple wooden ladder for access," recalls Nelson. "It goes perfectly with the verdant surroundings and aptly maximises the 10-foot-high ceiling."
Setting the design apart from the standard method of infusing light palettes and mirrored surfaces to enhance spaciousness, Nelson put his client first and created a tailor-made retreat that genuinely reflects his personality. "The homeowner is in his 30s and works in the design industry," he explains. "Our aim was to build a home that feels masculine and moody, which suits his individuality." Accordingly, Nelson selected a subtle shade of grey blue as the dominating colour, which also evokes an appealing contrast against the greenery beyond. To highlight the original kitchen in reflective brass finishes, built by the developer and designed by Yabu Pushelberg, Nelson focused on the interweaving of raw materials such as solid paints, wood and marble to balance out the shine.
A dramatic background hue was selected to match with the homeowner's style. The coffee table comprises Jottergoods' brass base from Archetypal. The dining table is set with Japanese ceramic tableware from Klondike and cutlery from Cutipol
To ensure a unique living space imbued with class and elegance, yet without appearing smaller than its actual size, Nelson insisted on designing with clean, uncluttered lines, as well as a restrained selection of furnishings and accessories. "We have to think about what you want to be seen and what you want to be hidden," he explains. "For this project in particular, we made sure we created enough storage space for clothes and shoes that need to be concealed." While the home is opened up as much as possible, Nelson cleverly distinguishes the dining area from the living quarters without closing up the space by installing pinewood panelling above.
Designed by Patricia Urquiola for Mutina, Tierras wall tiles in lattice-like patterns delicately line the facade of the private quarters, available from Anta Building Materials
Looking around this poised and tranquil abode, it's hard to ignore the unconventional art piece hanging above the sofa. Nelson sourced the black Gigacer tile from Anta Building Materials and had it framed by Crownwell. What caught the designer's attention was its multi-faceted appearance when viewed from different angles, as well as the subtle and bumpy texture that this 5kg ceramic slab showcases.
Devoting fine execution and thorough consideration to every nook and cranny, Nelson has undoubtedly done justice to the compact space. He adores the outcome just as much as the homeowner. While the latter enjoys working under the treehouse with panoramic scenery, Nelson says with a sense of fondness, "It feels extremely meditative from the linear window, as if you are transported to a Japanese tea room combined with a treehouse. That's my favourite cocooning spot."

Exhibition Nicosia Medieval Georgian Literary Culture and Manuscript Production in the Christian East and...
Medieval Georgian Literary Culture and Manuscript Production in the Christian East and Byzantium
The Pharos Arts Foundation, in collaboration with the Embassy of Georgia in Cyprus, present a lecture by Thamar Otkhmezuri – Senior Research Fellow at Korneli Kekelidze National Centre of Manuscripts in Tbilisi, Georgia – focused on the Medieval Georgian Literary Culture and Manuscript Production in the Christian East and Byzantium.
Since the ancient times, Georgian culture and literature have been evolving in close correlation with other cultures of the world. Since its beginnings, the Georgian literary culture, which originated simultaneously with the Christianisation of Georgians in the 5th century, has been connected to the monastic centres of the Christian East and Byzantium. The intellectual activity of Georgian scholars in foreign monastic and educational centres played a crucial role in shaping the Georgian Christian culture and thought. Georgians established monasteries in Palestine, Mount Athos, Syria, and in various regions of the Byzantine Empire. These centres undertook large-scale cultural and educational projects, including the translation of the most significant works of the Christian literature, as well as the creation of original Georgian writings and precious manuscripts.
By presenting, in a coherent and diachronic manner, the literary work of Georgian scholars in foreign monastic centres – Palestine, Mt Sinai, Mt. Athos, Constantinople, Cyprus and Black Mountain (the Antioch region) – Thamar Otkhmezuri's research aims to show how the Georgians adopted the ideas and values that were predominant in the advanced literary and cultural centres of the Christian world, and how they introduced these ideas and values into the Georgian national literature, turning them into an essential part of Georgian thought. Researching the worldview of medieval Georgians and their literary activities leads us to those cultural foundations that Georgians share with the civilised world in Medieval epoch.
THAMAR OTKHMEZURI
Thamar Otkhmezuri is a Senior Research Fellow at Korneli Kekelidze National Centre of Manuscripts (Tbilisi, Georgia). Her work focuses on the study of the problems of Georgian-Byzantine literary relations, and the publication of Old Georgian ecclesiastic texts.
Otkhmezuri participated in the international project The Critical Edition of the Works of Gregory the Theologian (Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, 1990-2005). She edited several works on the Georgian translations of the commentaries on writings by Gregory the Theologian; among her monographs are: Pseudo-Nonniani in IV orationes Gregorii Nazianzeni commentarii. Versio iberica (Turnhout – Leuven, 2002), and The Commentarial Genre in the Medieval Georgian Translation Tradition (Tbilisi, 2011). Recently she published a catalogue – Georgian Manuscripts Copied Abroad in Libraries and Museums of Georgia, compiled by V. Kekelia, N. Mirotadze, Th. Otkhmezuri, D. Chitunashvili, Th. Otkhmezuri (ed.), Tbilisi, 2018.
Otkhmezuri has published articles in both Georgian and foreign periodicals on the problems of literary activities of medieval Georgian scholars, Georgian monastic centres in Christian East and Byzantium, Old Georgian translation tradition of the 10th-12th cc., among others. She also studies Greek materials preserved in Georgia, namely, medieval Greek manuscripts and inscriptions.

Q: Merge local branch to origin develop I have a branch "b2" which i created out of "develop" branch on my local. After making my changes on "b2" i want to write my changes to origin/develop.
git push origin develop

gave me Everything up-to-date
I do not want to push "b2" to origin but only merge my commit on top of develop at origin. What can be the safest way to do so ?

A: Once you have everything committed in your B2 branch.
Switch to develop branch with:
git checkout develop
Now pull in the b2 branch:
git pull --rebase b2
Once the rebase is completed you can verify everything with:
git branch --merged develop
This will list all branches that have been merged into develop.

What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week's Key Polls - Week Ending December 11, 2021
In surveys last week, this is what America told Rasmussen Reports:
- President Biden ended the polling week with a daily job approval of 43%.
- Most voters approve of what the White House is calling a "diplomatic boycott" of next year's Winter Olympics in Beijing, but overall give President Joe Biden low marks on his China policy.
- Most voters now disapprove of President Joe Biden's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, saying he broke the promise he made during the campaign last year to "shut down the virus."
- Vice President Kamala Harris hasn't improved her standing with voters, more that half of whom have a negative opinion of her and don't think she's ready to take over if President Joe Biden leaves office.
- With the holiday shopping season underway, most Americans believe they've got their own credit card spending under control, but are concerned that other people are less responsible.
- Support for voter ID laws to prevent cheating in elections remains high, and most Republican voters remain unconvinced that President Joe Biden was elected fairly.
- Economic confidence rose to 98.9 in this month's Rasmussen Reports Economic Index, two points higher than November.
- Although fewer Americans plan to decorate their homes for the holidays this year, nearly three-quarters will have a Christmas tree.
- More than half of Americans have already begun their holiday shopping, but less than a quarter plan to spend more on gifts this year.
- Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the country is heading in the right direction.

Milwaukee Carries On MLK's Legacy With 35 Years Of Celebration
By Teran Powell • Jan 21, 2019

WUWM's Teran Powell reports on the Marcus Center of Performing Art's annual Martin Luther King Day celebration.
Monday the country commemorates the legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Milwaukee has been celebrating King for 35 years with events at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.
Social injustices in America came into sharp focus on Aug. 28, 1963. On that day, thousands gathered at the Washington Monument, and more around their radios and TV sets, to hear the King deliver his now famous "I Have A Dream" speech.
King's birthday is recognized as a federal holiday and has been celebrated on the third Monday of January since the 1980s. The Marcus Center hosted its Martin Luther King Day celebration Sunday and has hosted an annual MLK Day celebration every year since 1984.
Paul Mathews, president and CEO of the Marcus Center, explains how this celebration has lasted this long.
"We are a community performing arts center, so when we open our doors, we open them to all of Milwaukee. And as Milwaukee becomes more richly diverse in its population, we want to continue to recognize that and program for that. And the fact that Dr. King's legacy really continues on and is really of importance to people of all races and cultures is another reason why I think it continues here in Milwaukee," he says.
The Marcus Center's celebration features students who've won contests for their art, speeches and writing, and also performance art from local multicultural groups — all saluting King.
Mathews says the event has evolved over the years, with more multicultural groups participating and more students wanting to be involved.
"A lot of what comes out of this program is unity in the community and also inspiration because we see young people who are the future leaders of this community stepping forward and expressing what they believe in and what they want to do to make this a better community," he says.
Mathews says a key goal in this year's celebration was to address what's going on in the world today and letting students decide what they wanted to write or talk about.
One of them is Janiya Williams, the first-place winner of the writing contest. In her essay, the 8th grader passionately wrote about police brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement, and stereotypes about the African-American community.

She says she has a message for people, mostly adults, who read her work:
"Even though I'm young, they might not think I know so much about black people getting treated differently, but I see it. I've been treated differently because I was different at school, and that's why I wrote my speech. I actually wrote it out of anger because I was so upset about the fact that police felt that they was OK because we were black that we deserve to get killed or that we deserve to get shot, like it's really not that serious. If it was a white person, they would get treated completely different, but because we're black we get stereotyped or we get called names, but that's not OK. So that's what I'm trying to let them know — I know what's going on."
Williams says although she's happy she won first place, it's not about winning. She's just pleased to know that she's touching people and they're understanding what she's saying.

'I Wear It Very Proudly That I'm An American': Janan Najeeb
Teran Powell
If you ask a group of people what it means to be an American, you might get a different answer from each person. For instance, responses based on someone's political beliefs, family history, military record, or other life experience.
But what does it mean to be an American for people from underrepresented groups in an era when civility and tolerance are sometimes in short supply?
Milwaukee Photographer's Museum Exhibition Highlights The Voices Of Young Women Of Color
By Teran Powell • Jan 9, 2019
Corey Fells
A Milwaukee photographer has given minority women from the city a chance to make their voices heard — through pictures. Corey Fells created the "100 Womxn Project," which is currently on display at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in Washington County.
The exhibition features photos of millennial minority women — people Fells says may rarely get a chance to share their perspectives on life.
Looking Back At Wisconsin's Top Race & Ethnicity Stories In 2018
By Teran Powell • Dec 27, 2018

In 2018, issues regarding race and ethnicity in the state of Wisconsin made headlines often. As we head into the new year, let's recap of some of the top stories from the last 12 months.
The police encounter with Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard, Sterling Brown, happened nearly a year ago, but it's one that's still fresh in the minds of many Milwaukeeans.
Celebrating Dr. King: His Mission Still Resonates Half a Century Later
Today the nation celebrates the life of the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The holiday highlights King's activism during the days of Jim Crow and segregation.
One Milwaukeean who's been impacted by King's work is Reggie Jackson, head griot of America's Black Holocaust Museum. He says that King's teachings hold as much weight today as they did more than half a century ago.
"I've always been a big fan of Dr. King and his dedication to social justice work, racial justice work," Jackson says.

STADLER LOOKING FOR 3 VICTORIES IN A ROW
Craig Stadler already is atop the Champions Tour money list, and he's poised to become the first tour player in more than six years to win three consecutive tournaments.
Stadler shot 4-under 68 for a four-stroke lead after two rounds of the $1.8 million SAS Championship in Cary, N.C. Stadler birdied five of his final 12 holes, leaving him at 133 on the par-72 7,129-yard Prestonwood Country Club course.
Tom Jenkins had the low round of the day, a 7-under 65, and was alone in second place at 137. Stewart Ginn, John Harris and defending champion D.A. Weibring were tied for third at 139.
Stadler, who boasts 10 top-10 finishes in 17 events this year, has earned more than $1.9 million.
Stadler's four-stroke lead matches the largest 36-hole advantage on the Champions Tour this year.
STENSON TOPS HERITAGE
Henrik Stenson shot 5-under 67 for a one-stroke lead over Swedish countryman Patrik Sjoland after three rounds at The Heritage in Woburn, England.
Stenson was at 13-under 203, with Sjoland (68) at 204 and Simon Wakefield of England another shot back. Mikko Ilonen shot a 65 for the best round of the week, leaving him fourth at 206.
Stenson had an eagle-3 at No. 4 on a 45-foot putt and a birdie putt of 18 feet at No. 5. But a double bogey followed at No. 6.
Second-round leaders Graeme McDowell and Phillip Price both shot 72s and were at 209 with Alastair Forsyth (66) and Mark Foster (69).
BOLLI LEADS NATIONWIDE
Justin Bolli shot 2-under 69 and held a 1-stroke lead over four other players after three rounds at the Nationwide Tour Albertsons Boise Open in Boise, Idaho.
Jimmy Walker (63), Michael Long (64), David Hearn (65) and Windermere's Scott Gump (68) each had three-round totals of 202. Tom Scherrer of Orlando was at 205, and John Elliott of Orlando was at 206.

Archbishops: Remain in EU
By John Martin
With less than two weeks to go before Britain votes on whether to remain in the European Union, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have indicated their support for the "remain" case.
Writing in The Mail on Sunday, Justin Welby said while there can be no official Christian line on the vote, he wants to create a "vision of peace and reconciliation." He said a vote to remain on June 23 would avert economic damage that could harm the poorest.
Writing in The Telegraph on June 9, the Archbishop of York said political institutions need regular pruning but "Europe is bigger than European institutions."
On another matter, Archbishop Welby has said it is impossible to understand the world today without understanding religion.
Speaking at the annual Sanford St. Martin awards for religious broadcasting on June 9, the archbishop said religion needs to be covered not simply to keep some strange people happy "but because religion is a prime motivator of behavior for both individuals and communities."

Jeannie Mai drops out of DWTS due to health issue
By Adam Chau
(Editor's note: This story has been updated with news Jeannie Mai has been forced to drop out of Dancing with the Stars.)
The Dancing with the Stars confirmed today that Jeannie Mai has dropped out of the program due to serious health issues.
On the heals of both a dance that made Jeannie Mai and the judges cry, and landing in the bottom two slots of last episode's Dancing With The Stars, the news came before tonight double elimination contest, which will now become a single elimination.
USA Today reports the issue with her health requires "immediate attention and surgery" involving her throat.
"I am heartbroken that my DWTS journey has to end here," she said in a statement. "The last several weeks have been an amazing learning experience. I have pushed myself to new limits physically and mentally, and I am so proud of how far we've come. I can't thank my partner Brandon enough for being so supportive and believing in me. I also want to thank MAI fans who voted every week and I wish everyone else in the competition the best of luck!"
According to ABC News, she is diagnosed with epiglottitis, a potentially life threatening condition that can block airflow to the lungs.
The Emmy award winning Vietnamese Amercan host, who got her start hosting on the International Channel's Asian American magazine show Stir, has received praise for her dancing moves, as well as shining a light on immigration stories, and specifically her family's story escaping from Vietnam in episode 6.
At the same time while the judges liked her performance on "Villians Night", Jeannie Mai and her partner Brandon Armstrong received the second lowest scores of the evening (saved by judges Bruno and Carrie Ann) and some have her or figure skater Johnny Weir going first.
"We are devastated by the news that we're going to have to cut this season short, but Jeannie's health does come first," Armstrong said to ABC. "Thank you to all the fans that have helped get us this far and we are praying for a speedy recovery from Jeannie."
It had been hoped Mai could beat the odds of elimination with fan voting, possibly backed by an energized Vietnamese American fan base.
Follow Jeannie Mai on Instagram and Twitter and see her on Dancing With The Stars on ABC at 8e | 7c.

Alibaba founder and billionaire Jack Ma's payment offshoot company is eyeing aggressive expansion in Australia.
Alipay, already China's largest third-party online payment solution company, is opening an office in Sydney targeting local small and medium-sized businesses.
Bold move: Alipay International president Sabrina Peng and Taobao's Tang Yongbo pose with the Taobao mascot at the launch.
Alipay was launched in 2004 as part of Mr Ma's Alibaba Group, but it was separated from the group in 2011. Alibaba Group was floated on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this year.
Alipay and Alibaba Group are both owned by Small and Micro Financial Services.
Alipay International president Sabrina Peng said the company had decided to intensify its focus on Australia because statistics had proven Chinese consumers were interested in Australian goods.
"Australia is an exciting market for e-commerce and cross-border trading opportunities," she said at the Alipay Australia launch in Melbourne.
"Chinese consumer needs are evolving and their desire for quality, safe foreign goods have yet to be fully met locally."
Australia was the fifth-biggest market for online goods for Chinese consumers using Alipay, she said.
On China's Singles' Day last week Alibaba Group reported $9 billion in sales in 24 hours and Australia was the fourth-most-popular destination for Chinese online shoppers.
The free-trade agreement secured on Monday would also help Australian SMEs do business in China, Ms Peng said.
"I was so excited to hear the news. This will really help the SMEs to sell to China. Tax has been one of the major issues, as have payments and logistics, so this will really help.
"The things we [Alipay] have done here in Australia, and what we're going to do, is the future."
Alipay has more than 300 million users and one million merchants worldwide.
Its Australian office has three staff, but Ms Peng said there were intentions to increase its size.
Alipay was created a decade ago to help Chinese consumers and businesses feel more comfortable with online shopping. It allows consumers to buy goods, but releases the payment to the seller only once the goods have been received and the shopper has indicated they're happy with their quality.
It has also created Alipay wallet, which lets consumers pay for everything from movie tickets to bills without needing a card.
Online marketplace Taobao, part of the Alibaba Group, also launched yesterday the Taobao Australian E-commerce Channel, which aims to give Chinese consumers confidence the products sold on the site come direct from Australia.

Familial GATA6 mutation causing variably expressed diabetes mellitus and cardiac and renal abnormalities
Yang Timothy Du, Lynette Moore, Nicola K Poplawski and Sunita M C De Sousa
A 26-year-old man presented with a combination of permanent neonatal diabetes due to pancreatic aplasia, complex congenital heart disease, central hypogonadism and growth hormone deficiency, structural renal abnormalities with proteinuria, umbilical hernia, neurocognitive impairment and dysmorphic features. His older brother had diabetes mellitus due to pancreatic hypoplasia, complex congenital heart disease, hypospadias and umbilical hernia. Their father had an atrial septal defect, umbilical hernia and diabetes mellitus diagnosed incidentally in adulthood on employment screening. The proband's paternal grandmother had a congenital heart defect. Genetic testing of the proband revealed a novel heterozygous missense variant (Chr18:g.19761441T>C, c.1330T>C, p.Cys444Arg) in exon 4 of GATA6, which is class 5 (pathogenic) using American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines and is likely to account for his multisystem disorder. The same variant was detected in his brother and father, but not his paternal grandmother. This novel variant of GATA6 likely occurred de novo in the father with autosomal dominant inheritance in the proband and his brother. The case is exceptional as very few families with monogenic diabetes due to GATA6 mutations have been reported to date and we describe a new link between GATA6 and renal pathology.
Monogenic diabetes should be suspected in patients presenting with syndromic features, multisystem congenital disease, neonatal-onset diabetes and/or a suggestive family history.
Recognition and identification of genetic diabetes may improve patient understanding and empowerment and allow for better tailored management.
Identification of a genetic disorder may have important implications for family planning.
Rituximab treatment for isolated IgG4-related hypophysitis in a teenage female
Danielle R Bullock, Bradley S Miller, H Brent Clark and Patricia M Hobday
IgG4-related hypophysitis is an important diagnostic consideration in patients with a pituitary mass or pituitary dysfunction and can initially present with headaches, visual field deficits and/or endocrine dysfunction. Isolated IgG4-related pituitary disease is rare, with most cases of IgG4-related disease involving additional organ systems. We report the case of a teenage female patient with isolated IgG4-related hypophysitis, diagnosed after initially presenting with headaches. Our patient had no presenting endocrinologic abnormalities. She was treated with surgical resection, prednisolone and rituximab with no further progression of disease and sustained normal endocrine function. This case, the youngest described patient with isolated IgG4-related hypophysitis and uniquely lacking endocrinologic abnormalities, adds to the limited reports of isolated pituitary disease. The use of rituximab for isolated pituitary disease has never been described. While IgG4-related hypophysitis has been increasingly recognized, substantial evidence concerning the appropriate treatment and follow-up of these patients is largely lacking.
IgG4-related hypophysitis most often occurs in the setting of additional organ involvement but can be an isolated finding. This diagnosis should therefore be considered in a patient presenting with pituitary abnormalities.
Most patients with IgG4-related hypophysitis will have abnormal pituitary function, but normal functioning does not exclude this diagnosis.
Corticosteroids have been the mainstay of therapy for IgG4-related disease, with other immunosuppressive regimens being reserved for refractory cases. Further research is needed to understand the effectiveness of corticosteroid-sparing regimens and whether there is utility in using these agents as first-line therapies.
Transient diabetes insipidus in a post-partum woman with pre-eclampsia associated with residual placental vasopressinase activity
Natassia Rodrigo and Samantha Hocking
This case illustrates the exceedingly rare phenomenon of transient diabetes insipidus, in association with pre-eclampsia, occurring in the post-partum period following an in vitro fertilisation pregnancy, in an otherwise well 48-year-old lady. Diabetes insipidus can manifest during pregnancy, induced by increased vasopressinase activity secreted by placental trophoblasts and usually manifests in the third trimester. This presentation elucidates not only the intricate balance between the physiology of pregnancy and hormonal homeostasis, but also the importance of post-partum care as the physiological changes of pregnancy still hold pathological potential in the weeks immediately following delivery.
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare complication of pregnancy occurring in 1 in 30 000 pregnancies.
It is associated with excessive vasopressinase activity, secreted by placental trophoblasts, which increases the rate of degradation of anti-diuretic hormone.
It is responsive to synthetic desmopressin 1-deanimo-8-d-arginine vasopressin as this form is not degraded by placental vasopressinase.
Vasopressinase is proportional to placental weight, which is increased in pregnancies conceived with assisted reproductive techniques including in vitro fertilisation.
Vasopressinase-induced DI is associated with pre-eclampsia.
Ketosis-prone diabetes and SLE co-presenting in an African lady with previous gestational diabetes
S Hussain, S Keat and S V Gelding
We describe the case of an African woman who was diagnosed with ketosis-prone diabetes with diabetes-associated autoantibodies, after being admitted for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) precipitated by her first presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). She had a seven-year history of recurrent gestational diabetes (GDM) not requiring insulin therapy, with return to normoglycaemia after each pregnancy. This might have suggested that she had now developed type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the diagnosis of SLE prompted testing for an autoimmune aetiology for the diabetes, and she was found to have a very high titre of GAD antibodies. Typical type 1 diabetes (T1D) was thought unlikely due to the long preceding history of GDM. Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) was considered, but ruled out as she required insulin therapy from diagnosis. The challenge of identifying the type of diabetes when clinical features overlap the various diabetes categories is discussed. This is the first report of autoimmune ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) presenting with new onset of SLE.
DKA may be the first presentation of a multi-system condition and a precipitating cause should always be sought, particularly in women with a history of GDM or suspected T2D.
All women with GDM should undergo repeat glucose tolerance testing postpartum to exclude frank diabetes, even when post-delivery capillary blood glucose (CBG) tests are normal. They should also be advised to continue CBG monitoring during acute illness in case of new onset diabetes.
KPD comprises a spectrum of diabetes syndromes that present with DKA, but subsequently have a variable course depending on the presence or absence of beta cell failure and/or diabetes autoantibodies.
KPD should be considered in a patient with presumed T2D presenting with DKA, especially if there is a personal or family history of autoimmune diabetes.
LADA should be suspected in adults presumed to have T2D, who do not require insulin therapy for at least six months after diagnosis and have anti-GAD antibodies.
Patients with autoimmune diabetes have an increased risk of other autoimmune diseases and screening for thyroid, parietal cell, coeliac and antinuclear antibodies should be considered.
Gonadotrophin abnormalities in an infant with Lowe syndrome
Bronwen E Warner, Carol D Inward and Christine P Burren
This case, presenting with bilateral impalpable testes, illustrates the relevance of a broad differential disorders of sex development case management. It provides new insights on hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis and testicular function abnormalities in the multisystem disorder of Lowe syndrome. Lowe syndrome, also known as oculocerebrorenal syndrome, is a rare disorder characterised by eye abnormalities, central nervous system involvement and proximal renal tubular acidosis. There are a handful of reports of pubertal delay, infertility and cryptorchidism in Lowe syndrome. Biochemistry aged 72 h: testosterone 6.4 nmol/L, LH <0.5 IU/L and FSH <0.5 IU/L. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test identified significantly raised baseline LH = 45.4 IU/L (contrasts with earlier undetectable LH), with a 20% increase on stimulation, while baseline FSH = 4.3 IU/L with no increase on stimulation. Day 14 HCG stimulation test produced an acceptable 50% increase in testosterone. The constellation of further abnormalities suggested Lowe syndrome: hypotonia, bilateral cataracts (surgical extraction and intraocular lens implantation) and renal tubular acidosis (microscopic haematuria, hypercalciuria, proteinuria, generalised aminoaciduria, hypophosphataemia and metabolic acidosis). DNA sequencing identified de novo hemizygous frameshift mutation OCRL c.2409_2410delCT in exon 22. Interpretation of initial and repeat GnRH and HCG testing indicates the likelihood of testicular failure. Partial testicular descent occurred but left orchidopexy was required. Improving long-term gonadal function in Lowe syndrome assumes increased importance for current cohorts as advances in renal replacement therapy have greatly improved life expectancy. Noting HPG axis abnormalities in Lowe syndrome in infancy can identify cases requiring increased surveillance of pubertal progress for earlier detection and management.
Clinical endocrine problems in Lowe syndrome has been reported, but has focused on abnormalities in adolescence and young adulthood: pubertal delay and infertility.
We present an infant with isolated LH elevation at baseline and on GnRH stimulation testing who also had bilateral impalpable testes.
Early testing of the HPG axis in patients with Lowe syndrome may help predict gonadal abnormalities from a younger age, which will enhance the overall case management into adolescence.
Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy and hypophysitis after Puumala hantavirus infection
Marlene Tarvainen, Satu Mäkelä, Jukka Mustonen and Pia Jaatinen
Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) infection causes nephropathia epidemica (NE), a relatively mild form of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Hypophyseal haemorrhage and hypopituitarism have been described in case reports on patients with acute NE. Chronic hypopituitarism diagnosed months or years after the acute illness has also been reported, without any signs of a haemorrhagic aetiology. The mechanisms leading to the late-onset hormonal defects remain unknown. Here, we present a case of NE-associated autoimmune polyendocrinopathy and hypopituitarism presumably due to autoimmune hypophysitis. Thyroid peroxidase antibody seroconversion occurred between 6 and 12 months, and ovarian as well as glutamate decarboxylase antibodies were found 18 months after acute NE. Brain MRI revealed an atrophic adenohypophysis with a heterogeneous, low signal intensity compatible with a sequela of hypophysitis. The patient developed central (or mixed central and peripheral) hypothyroidism, hypogonadism and diabetes insipidus, all requiring hormonal replacement therapy. This case report suggests that late-onset hormonal defects after PUUV infection may develop by an autoimmune mechanism. This hypothesis needs to be confirmed by prospective studies with sufficient numbers of patients.
Pituitary haemorrhage resulting in hypopituitarism has been reported during acute HFRS caused by PUUV and other hantaviruses.
Central and peripheral hormone deficiencies developing months or years after HFRS have also been found, with an incidence higher than that in the general population. The pathogenesis of these late-onset hormonal defects remains unknown.
This case report suggests that the late-onset hypopituitarism and peripheral endocrine defects after HFRS could evolve via autoimmune mechanisms.
The sensitivity of current anti-pituitary antibody (APA) tests is low. A characteristic clinical course, together with typical brain MRI and endocrine findings may be sufficient for a non-invasive diagnosis of autoimmune hypophysitis, despite negative APAs.
Effect of Astragalus membranaceus extract on diabetic nephropathy
Jiman Kim, Eulsun Moon and Seungwon Kwon
Diabetic nephropathy, a microvascular complication of diabetes, is a progressive kidney disease caused by angiopathy of the capillaries in the kidney glomeruli. Herein, we report a case of a 62-year-old patient with a 30 year history of diabetes, who showed a substantial improvement in diabetic nephropathy on administration of 30 g of Astragalus membranaceus extract per day. After 1 month, estimated glomerular filtration rate increased from 47 to 72 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and was subsequently maintained at the 1-month follow-up. Urinary protein levels also decreased following treatment. Herein, we present and discuss the evidence and mechanism of A. membranaceus on diabetic nephropathy in this patient.
Diabetic nephropathy is a progressive kidney disease.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are currently used to prevent and delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy. However, their effects are not sufficient to prevent a decline in kidney function.
Furthermore, combination therapy with an ACE inhibitor and an ARB can produce adverse effects without additional benefits.
In the early phase of diabetic nephropathy, administration of Astragalus membranaceus can be a therapeutic option.

How the Coronavirus Is Impacting the Gaming Industry
By John O'Sullivan	 Last updated Mar 28, 2020
We already know that the world is on the verge of a huge economic crisis. And coronavirus is one of the major catalysts of it.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, we've seen a lot of industries go down because businesses have to close and go on quarantine. The travel industry, hospitality industry, and even manufacturing – these are only a few of the examples that are already affected by the pandemic.
BBC also reports a big plummeting drop in the stock markets worldwide after the coronavirus has hit European countries, claiming that some of the stock markets haven't seen such a decline since 1987.
Image credit: BBC
The source also reports that the world won't recover from this crisis until the mid-2021.
How Will Coronavirus-Triggered Crisis Impact the Gaming Industry?
We already talked about the drop in gaming hardware revenue that major companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have been experiencing since the end of 2019. This drop, however, did not happen due to coronavirus, but rather due to the end of the holiday season, when these companies usually see their sales go up.
Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that coronavirus won't impact the gaming industry. The fact that many companies were forced to go on quarantine may affect their performance, the launch of new games and gaming hardware updates.
This might happen in the long run.
But does the coronavirus already have an impact on the gaming industry?
EA Cancels Apex Legends and FIFA Events
A week ago, ESPN reported that Electronic arts had to postpone Apex Legends Global Series competition indefinitely, and completely cancel the EA Sports FIFA competition.
These events unite thousands of people from around the world who this year were to gather in Texas to participate in gaming competitions.
Electronic Arts decided to follow the CDC recommendations to postpone all the events that unite over 50 people. As a result, the company is losing money after already going through a big drop in shares in February.
How will it impact EA in the long run? The novel coronavirus could be a blessing in disguise for Electronic Arts. As the entire world goes on quarantine, Electronic Arts has dropped the prices for its most popular games, such as Sims 4 and Apex Legends.
So, there is a possibility that, as more people are forced to stay at home, EA will sell more games to entertain those on quarantine and improve the company's financial situation.
Nintendo and the Delay of Switch Production and Shipping
In February, when Japan became one of the hotspots of the coronavirus outbreak, Nintendo announced that it postpones the Switch productions of Animal Crossing and the shipments of the console.
Nintendo started experiencing troubles after the initial coronavirus outbreak in China since Nintendo produces its hardware and single board computer details there. This also forced the company to postpone the release of Ring Fit Adventure, which is the new fitness RPG that uses the ring-like controller.
For Nintendo, this is a big issue since they have a lot of new releases this year, both in terms of games and gaming hardware. And since the coronavirus-related quarantine has been extended, there is no definite date when Nintendo can renew the delayed Switch productions and shipping.
Good News for PS5
In one of our previous articles, we mentioned that Sony PlayStation is working on releasing PS5 later this year. Although the coronavirus outbreak has affected the company's working routine, Sony doesn't report any delays in the release of PS5.
As of last week, Sony's PR team said that the coronavirus outbreak hasn't yet impacted the release date of PS5. The same is with Microsoft's Xbox release scheduled for the same time. The timing could change, however, as the situation with coronavirus is still developing.
We'll have to wait and see how the economic crisis will impact the gaming industry. But, just by looking at so many industries going down, it will be foolish to deny that it won't affect the gaming industry.
But while main players in the gaming industry are already experiencing the negative impact of the coronavirus outbreak both on their schedule and on the economy, companies still expect a considerable increase in revenue, as more and more people will be interested in buying gaming hardware and games for entertainment.

Obama-era veteran Kurt Campbell to be White House Indo-Pacific coordinator – Times of India
WASHINGTON: US President-elect Joe Biden has picked an Obama-administration veteran, Kurt Campbell, to be his White House coordinator for the Indo-Pacific region, which covers the relationship with China, a spokeswoman for Biden's transition said on Wednesday.
Campbell, who served as the top US diplomat for Asia under President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is considered one of the architects of their "pivot to Asia" strategy, a much vaunted but still limited US rebalancing of resources to the region.
"I can confirm Kurt will be Coordinator for the Indo-Pacific at the NSC," the transition spokeswoman said, referring to the White House National Security Council.
Campbell has since run the Asia Group business strategy consultancy and advised Biden's campaign. He is co-founder of the Center for a New American Security think tank.
Campbell outlined his approach to Asia in a 2016 book entitled "The Pivot" in which he advocated strengthening existing alliances with Japan and South Korea and building closer relations with states like India and Indonesia in the face of a rising China.
He has since endorsed some of the tough approaches towards China adopted by the outgoing Trump administration and also praised some of Trump's unprecedented dealings with North Korea.
In doing so, he has stressed the need for the new administration to rebuild and reconcile at home and backed away in his past support for a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement that Washington negotiated under Obama and from which Trump withdrew.
