Q: Hide certain warnings in Xamarin Studio Is there a way that I can hide certain warnings during a build in Xamarin Studio?  I have deliberately included certain class members in my solution that are deprecated and I am tired of being reminded every single time I compile.

A: Right-click your project -> Options -> Build/Compiler and either adjust the warning level or list the warnings you don't want to be told about in the "Ignore warnings" text box.

A: To see the Warning Code, click in Errors in the bottom right corner and in the end of the line of each warning you'll see it.

Constitution: The Second Amendment / Mark Alexander / March 31, 2011
Obama's Assault on Weapons
Project Gunrunner Backfires on the Left
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." –Second Amendment to the United States Constitution
Barack Hussein Obama and his Socialist cadre, in their enthusiasm to "fundamentally transform the United States of America," have redoubled efforts to do what all tyrannical governments must do to establish absolute state supremacy and usurp Rule of Law – disarm the people.
Leftists accomplish this through incremental implementation of gun confiscation measures, most of which are overt political machinations. These include legislation written and promoted by Leftist groups such as the American Bar Association, Physicians for Social Responsibility, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, the Violence Policy Center, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and the Brady Campaign.
Current legislation under consideration includes H.R. 308 to limit rounds in magazines, S. 35 to lock in gun show registrations, S. 436 designed to "fix gun checks," and, most disturbing, the reauthorization of Section 215 of The Patriot Act, which permits the FBI to seize gun sale records (4473's) pursuant to "an authorized investigation." Regarding the latter, the Inspector General estimated that between 2003 and 2006, the FBI exceeded its authority under Section 215 in more than 6,000 instances.
The objective of most of this legislation is centralized registration, which provides the federal government with data on the owner of every gun in the U.S. Then, under the duress of, say, the collapse of our economy, Leftists will "justify" confiscation by way of such nefarious measures as an Executive Order – just as they justified weapons confiscations after Hurricane Katrina.
"Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste," right?
The generation that witnessed the adulteration of our Constitution by Franklin Roosevelt and his Useful Idiots during the Great Depression know exactly what I mean. Fortunately, growing ranks of Patriots across our nation are awakening to this very real threat against our Second Amendment rights.
As FDR aptly demonstrated, the primary method in the Left's playbook for advancing its agenda is to convert tragedy into political capital. That is precisely what they did with the shooting of Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in Tucson in January of this year, and that is the rallying point for current gun control legislation.
Of course, claiming "gun violence" is the problem, rather than social entropy institutionalized by FDR's policies and those of his Socialist successors, is a better fit with the Left's agenda.
Another case in point, and one that is now backfiring on the Obama administration, is Project Gunrunner, a government program run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). As you may recall, ATF is an agency that exposed itself as a puppet for political agendas in the botched and bloody assaults at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992 and Waco, Texas, in 1993.
The ATF implemented Project Gunrunner in 2006 as a strategy to track weapon distribution networks between the U.S. and Mexican drug cartels – a worthy goal on the surface. Problem is, once the guns crossed into Mexico, ATF lost most of its tracking capability, which is to say that efforts to follow the distribution trail and stem the tide ended at the border.
Enter the Obama administration's gun control agenda, which breathed new life into Gunrunner and re-established the ATF leadership's standard ops tempo: SNAFU.
While Project Gunrunner failed in charting weapons distribution channels south of the border, Democrats saw its utility as a means to implement new gun regulations north of the border by asserting that all the violence in the region is the result of gun sales in the U.S.
The Obama administration hoped to make a case that Mexican organized crime syndicates depend on illegal U.S. sales of so-called "assault weapons." In doing so, they hoped to revitalize their political agenda to register and regulate the sale of those weapons – a major Leftist goal for the last two decades.
With its mission transformed, in 2009 and 2010 the ATF expanded Project Gunrunner offices to McAllen, Texas, El Centro, California, Las Cruces, New Mexico, Sierra Vista, Arizona, and Brownsville, Texas, and added new Gunrunner teams in Tucson and in El Paso, Texas. Project Gunrunner's focus became exposing the illegal sale of guns in the U.S. in support of Obama's political objectives.
But the ATF's Gunrunner is now the subject of a political firefight.
On 28 December 2010, I was contacted by a career federal agent who, like many of his colleagues, honors his oath to "support and defend" our Constitution, whose support and defense is contingent on the Second Amendment's prohibition against government infringement on the right of citizens to keep and bear arms.
The contacting agent, who has a good track record of identifying government agendas designed to thwart 2A rights, told me that he suspected the weapon used in the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on 14 December was among those lost by the ATF during the Gunrunner operation a few months earlier. Senior career agents in Phoenix and Tucson confirmed that some of the weapons recovered at the scene of the murder of Agent Terry were, indeed, Project Gunrunner weapons, but because the ATF took control of the weapons, it could evade the establishment of any ballistic link between Project Gunrunner and the bullet that killed Terry.
Further, the agent I spoke with confirmed that the mission of Project Gunrunner was now purely political, an effort to "implement the registration of 'assault-type' rifles purchased anywhere in the United States." Obama's political appointees at ATF rejected numerous objections from field agents, including supervisory agents. Some objections were career terminators, including that of the ATF's attaché in Mexico City, Darren Gil, whose objections resulted in forced retirement on 31 December 2010, just two weeks after the murder of Brian Terry.
Now, in response to the ATF's stonewalling on ballistics related to Agent Terry's murder, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is demanding answers. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee, is leading Senate inquiries into the connection between Gunrunner and Terry's murder.
Additionally, Grassley has also inquired about the murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata on 15 February, which may also involve weapons connected to Project Gunrunner.
For the record, a search of the ATF website, which prominently promotes Project Gunrunner, makes no mention of the murders of CBP Agent Terry or ICE Agent Zapata other than mentioning their names in off-the-shelf condolences.
For his part, Obama says of Gunrunner, "There may be a situation here which a serious mistake was made. If that's the case, then we'll find out and we'll hold someone accountable." He then asserted, "I did not authorize it; Eric Holder, the attorney general, did not authorize it. He's been very clear that our policy is to catch gunrunners and put them into jail."
Obama and Holder may have enough cutouts to provide political insulation from Gunrunner fallout, but their politicization of its mission has not only been responsible for countless deaths in Mexico (more citizens were murdered in the city of Juarez in 2010 than in the nation of Afghanistan), but very likely the murder of two front-line U.S. agents trying to do their job in accordance with their oaths.
The attention focused on Project Gunrunner has been motivated primarily by politics: first, Obama's gun control agenda to politicize the operation, and now the Republicans' agenda to see how far up the chain of command knowledge of the operation went.
Upcoming testimony from Adam Price and Jeffrey Stirling, program managers for Gunrunner at ATF headquarters, may lead to appearances by Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, FBI Director Robert Mueller, DHS Director Janet Napolitano, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
All the political shenanigans aside, the Left's assault on the Second Amendment is a much bigger contest: Liberty versus Tyranny.
To that end, it's worth recalling the words of James Madison: "The advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation … forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition."
James Madison's appointee to the Supreme Court, Justice Joseph Story, wrote in his 1833 "Commentaries on the Constitution," "The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
(Footnote: It is no small irony that as Obama endeavors to disarm the American people, he is contemplating how to arm "freedom fighters" (who are revealed, more each day, to be al-Qa'ida operatives or their useful idiots) in Libya. "I'm not ruling it out," says Obama. "If we wanted to get weapons into Libya, we probably could." Indeed, just call the ATF!)

The thought behind WWJD (What would Jesus do?) is a quaint, but misguided ideal of divine guidance.
It has taken me many years to come to this conclusion. Not because I am trying to justify my actions or inactions. I just know that it is hard enough to figure out what I would do in anybody else's shoes. And asking what Jesus would do in my situation is even more difficult. Probably even ludicrous. After all, asking what Jesus would do is asking what a perfect person, who is also completely God, would do.
But just because I think that asking, "What would Jesus do?" is a silly question, I do not think the motive behind asking the question is ludicrous whatsoever.
The reason Jesus followers have WWJD bands around their wrists or bumper stickers on their cars is because they want to be obedient. They know that they can discover God's character by reading His Word, the Bible. They know that they can find the historical Jesus who turned the world upside down. Unfortunately, they cannot really know what Jesus would do. For like I already said, Jesus was completely human and completely God. He was a perfect person and so we cannot really know what He would do since none of us is even close to perfection. Regardless of how highly we might think of ourselves.
These might also be the people who start with the same thought that I have already given (that WWJD is ludicrous), but conclude that since they are not perfect, they are off the hook. They cannot know what Jesus would do, so they can do whatever they want. Jesus will still forgive them. Unfortunately, they are not off the hook. We all answer for ourselves in the end.
Still, there really are people who earnestly seek to do what Jesus would do. And even though they might be asking the wrong question, their hearts are in the right place. After all, they want to be obedient to the Master. They want to follow the Messiah. They want to please Jesus. Which is why they ask the WWJD question in the first place.
We know that we cannot be perfect so we cannot really know what Jesus would do in our shoes in any given situation. But since we can know God's heart, we can know what He would want us to do in most situations. We just need to know His Word and ask a slightly longer but still simple question.
People might think that this is too hard. They might believe that we cannot know what Jesus would say when he sees us do or hears us say stuff. They might complain that it is too hard to ask the question for each decision we make. But the true believer, the true follower, knows that we can know if Jesus would be pleased. He already told us how to please Him. He simply said, "Love God. Love others." Then, He spent His whole short life showing us how to do both. He showed us and told us how to be good servants.
My whole life, I have worried that when I die, I would hear the worst condemnation of my Lord. I have worried that I would hear the words from the parable of the talents, "You wicked and slothful servant." For those motivated by the negative, we could ask if God would give us that response to our words and actions. If so, we know what we should not do. But I do not like that thought. I cannot stand the thought of being so condemned by those words. Often, those words of awful truth.
I do not want to be a wicked and slothful servant. I want to be a good and faithful servant. So I try to ask myself whether what I say and what I do will elicit that response. I try to be obedient to the One who paid my debt. The One to whom I owe my allegiance.
I wish I could come up with a good slogan for those who need wrist bands and bumper stickers, but WDGAFS (Well Done Good And Faithful Servant) does not really work so well. Even LGLO (Love God Love Others) does not roll off the lips very well. Fortunately, somebody has come up with a slogan for our church. L3 is not a new element, it stands for "Love God. Love others. Live generously." It works nicely for those who need a slogan. For those who want a simple reminder to be obedient to God.
I am thankful that I can know the heart of God. I am glad that I can know how He will respond to my words and deeds. Even if I do not always please Him. And even if I cannot ever truly know what Jesus would do.

Improving incentives for people to use COVID apps is key to widespread usage
by Laura Singleton 19 October 2020
People need greater personal incentives to convince them to use COVID-19 apps, according to a new report from Imperial College Business School.
According to the report by the Business School and Imperial's Data Science Institute, 'Privacy, Adoption and Truthful Reporting: A Simple Theory of Contact Tracing Applications', people's use of contact tracing apps is determined by their perception of their individual risks and social preferences, rather than the wider health benefits to society.
The report also suggests that the sharing of NHSx self-isolation data with the police, a move confirmed on 16 October by the Department of Health and Social Care, could have a negative effect on the adoption of the app by the public. The researchers state this could increase the private cost to the potential adopter without providing any countervailing benefit to the individual.
The authors of the report have developed a simple model to study the trade-offs for individuals deciding whether to use the app. The report suggests that it would be wrong to assume that someone with a higher infection risk is more likely to use the app simply because they would benefit more from it.
According to the report authors, if an individual only faces potential costs from adoption of the app such as being forced to quarantine (leading to potential loss of income); or has privacy and personal data concerns, then they are less likely to adopt the technology.
The researchers suggest policies that could support efforts to increase the use of contact tracing apps. These include improving the privacy of the data collecting process, providing legal guarantees to individuals that their data will not be used against them, and targeting privacy policies at the most obvious concerns that individuals might have. The researchers also suggest that communication campaigns using positive messaging could be key to encouraging people to use the app.
"Our work highlights important issues that need to be considered in this critical public policy question." Tarun Ramadorai Professor of Financial Economics, Business School
The researchers believe that the recent move for the UK's contract tracing app to use the Google-Apple Exposure Notification (GAEN) protocol is a positive development, but the late nature of the change and the mixed messaging have had deleterious effects on the rate of adoption of the NHSx app.
Tarun Ramadorai, Professor of Financial Economics at Imperial College Business School and one of the authors of the report said: "Adoption of contact tracing apps is an important weapon against the virus. Economics offers us tools to evaluate classic 'public goods' tradeoffs that individuals face in terms of the private costs and public benefits of adoption. Our work highlights important issues that need to be considered in this critical public policy question."
Another of the report's authors, Tommaso Valletti, Professor of Economics at Imperial College Business School, said: "'If these 'world-beating' track-and-trace apps are so important - and they are - why is it so difficult to have them adopted? Economics can really help understand the individual incentives, as opposed to collective benefits. We suggest a framework where, with the right data, one can target and influence adoption among those that are more reluctant to do so, despite being able to contribute a lot to public health."
The report continues Imperial's recommendations on privacy, including a white paper published earlier this year by Dr Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, Associate Professor at Imperial's Data Science Institute (one of the authors of the current report). This white paper outlines eight privacy questions that governments need to consider when developing coronavirus contact tracing apps.
Countries across the world including the UK, Germany and the USA have recently developed contact tracing apps as part of a package of measures designed to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

G2A.COM G2A News Features The Best Video Game DLCs of All Time
The Best Video Game DLCs of All Time
Sometimes the base game is so good that players demand more of it. Developers have no other choice than deliver additional content in the form of a DLC, or otherwise, the player base may get upset. Sometimes it's the other way around, and the expansion pack is the only way to restore the game's good name after receiving mixed or worse reviews upon release.
As the article's title may suggest, today we prepared a list of some of the best DLCs ever made. Use it to discover games you didn't play but you should have, or games you played so long ago you already forgot about them – now would be the perfect time to clean the dust from your old game discs and give them another go.
Either way, game expansions can completely change how a particular game is perceived by players and today we'll take a look at some examples, where DLC proved to be more than a simple content pack.
Now on to the business – behold our subjective list of the best DLCs of all time.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine
Speaking of relatively recent and impressive DLCs, one can't miss the Blood and Wine that significantly expanded the world of The Witcher 3 and added a massive and incredibly beautiful new location, Toussaint, clearly inspired by the regions somewhere between France and Italy, where you can get similar breathtaking views.
Untouched by war, Toussaint struggles with its own problems in the form of a mysterious beast that terrorizes the region, and Geralt of Rivia is tasked with hunting it down. The expansion pack adds multiple new features to the base game, including the new Gwent's Skellige deck, new items and monsters, the possibility to dye armors, and an option to restore an old vineyard to make it your home where you can relax after a day of neutralizing hostile creatures.
Huge new area to explore – beautiful duchy of Toussaint
Restore a vineyard and make it your home
New dangerous creatures never seen in the game before
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Genre: RTS
Developer Blizzard Entertainment
Valuable expansion packs were more common in the past when games were sold exclusively on discs and the fast internet connection wasn't as common as it is today. Developers had to really polish the expansion before release, and The Frozen Throne is a perfect example. The expansion pack introduces a new story that depicts events after the main game's conclusion.
It's told from the perspective of two new heroes – Maiev Shadowsong and Kael'Thas, as well as the returning Arthas. The expansion pack adds new units for each race, new auxiliary races, neutral heroes, and the ability to build a shop. It also reintroduces sea units and adds the possibility to queue upgrades.

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
Genre: Hack and Slash
Developer Blizzard North
While we're at older games, let's take a moment to appreciate Lord of Destruction as well. This is an essential expansion pack that made the already excellent base game even more enjoyable. The expansion focuses on the titular Lord of Destruction that awaits players in the entirely new act.
Besides the new areas to explore and new monsters to defeat, the expansion also adds several new features, such as runes that can be used to enhance equipment, an expanded storage, and an option to switch between two different weapon setups, not to mention the two completely new playable classes – Assassin and Druid.

Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Genre: FPS
Developer Valve
While we're still waiting for Half-Life 3, why not once again jump into the franchise's last game and its expansion pack? Episode Two significantly extends the base gameplay by adding a lot of new content and features. Notable ones include the new type of enemy, the Hunter, previously seen in Mossman's message in Episode One.
Hunters are quick and deadly, and are highly resistant to small arms damage, forcing you to develop new tactics when facing one. The new use of gravity gun might be helpful here, as from now on you can use it to pick a wider array of throwable objects, including logs, tractors, and fuel barrels.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Dragonborn
If you enjoyed Skyrim, then you will love Dragonborn. The game takes place on the island of Solstheim, where you will need to meet the first Dragonborn, Miraak.
The add-on does not only introduces a new story to experience, but also adds new content to play with, including new weapons, creatures, craftable sets of armor, and over 90 new non-player characters. On top of that, there are new shouts and spells to master as well, giving you the possibility to become stronger than ever.
Ultimate Dragonborn power with new powerful spells, shouts, and weapons

Discover the beautiful world of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim once again, this time in a re-mastered version with all the expansions, additional content, major graphical overhaul and numerous new...
Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
Genre: Action RPG/FPS
Developer Gearbox Software
The base Borderlands 2 is already an exciting game full of humor and pop culture references, but, believe it or not, Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep brings all of this to a whole new level. The DLC is inspired by the role-playing board game, Dungeons, and Dragons, and has Vault Hunters play an alternative Bunkers & Badasses.
Here you will explore an entirely new area, and Tiny Tina – now acting as the Bunker Master – will commentate your every move. This creates a unique experience, as you can hear her talking with other Vault Hunters as they are playing the board game, but you are actually inside that game, playing the role of the story's hero.
A unique experience that combines board game narrative with the first-person shooter
Brand-new enemies inspired by RPG games – skeletons, orcs, golems, and more
Numerous side missions and new unique loot
Action RPG, FPS
You finished Borderlands 1 and want to catch up with the second? Get yourself Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, to grab both Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel in one fell swoop....
Mass Effect 3: Citadel
Genre: Action RPG/TPS
The last position on the list, Citadel is a perfect example of how to repair the game that received mixed reviews based on certain development choices, such as the ending, that for some players wasn't satisfying enough.
Citadel fixed this and other problems by giving the game an ending it deserved. Although it can be played whenever you want to, it makes sense to play it right before the final mission of the base game. The DLC gives you a possibility to throw a party and talk to most of the crew members, including the ones from previous games – if they survived, that is.
New short story – return to the Citadel and learn of a conspiracy against Shepard
Customize and furnish your own luxury apartment
Armax Arsenal Arena – defeat holographic enemies, score points, and earn rewards
Mass Effect 3: N7 Digital Deluxe Edition
Action role-playing game
DLCs can be game-changing and may turn an average game into a masterpiece or add some kind of incredible content to the already amazing title, making it even better and allowing players to enjoy it for a longer amount of time. Their main purpose is to refresh the base game by including new missions, items, stories, characters, gameplay mechanics, and other similar things. Simply put – they are here to make the title more enjoyable and hopefully increase the game's longevity.
Game expansions can range from simple additions, such as a new cosmetic armor for your ax-wielding warrior, to huge expansion packs that introduce new explorable locations filled with sidequests, collectible loot, hidden secrets, achievements, and even entirely new mechanics. Most DLC can completely improve the gaming experience, especially if you can easily find the game on steam.
Downloadable content is a risky thing to do for developers, as it's easy to cross the line and end up with the DLC that is considered by players as a simple cash grab, where it adds a little content and costs inappropriately much. In fact, such practice became often used intentionally lately, but don't get discouraged – although somewhat harder to find, valuable and noteworthy expansions are still a thing and it's completely possible to find a recently released DLC that doesn't entirely focus on making money for developers, but on delivering additional hours of fun to players.
DLCs are here to turn an already amazing game into an even better one, or to fix mistakes made by the base game. Either way, they are a great way for developers to introduce new content and extend the game's longevity, but only if done properly and sold for a fair price relative to the amount of new gameplay. Otherwise, they may be considered a cash grab and may ruin the company's reputation.
Hopefully, today's list will help you decide on what title you should pick next, especially if you happened to somehow miss any of them.

We offer both open and enclosed car transport services from New York
When it comes to New York to Florida car transport, there are two main types of transport services that you can choose from – open and enclosed transport. Both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to weigh your options carefully before making a decision.
If you're looking for a more affordable transport option, then open car transport might be the way to go. This type of service is typically used for standard vehicles that don't require any special protection during transit. Your car will be loaded onto an open trailer and transported to your destination.
One of the main benefits of using open car transport is that it's typically more affordable than enclosed transport. However, there are some risks involved with this type of service. Your car will be exposed to the elements during transit, which means that it could suffer damage from weather conditions or debris on the road. There's also a higher risk of theft with open car transport, so it's important to consider all of these factors before making a decision.
If you have a luxury or classic car in New York that requires special protection, then enclosed car transport might be a better option. This type of service offers a higher level of security for your vehicle, as it will be completely enclosed in a sturdy container during transit. Enclosed car transport is typically more expensive than open transport, but it provides peace of mind knowing that your car is well-protected.

This is a remarkable album which really exists in a class of its own. 'Chanson' is a French genre in which the lyrics are more like poetry set to music - think Jacques Brel or Serge Gainsbourg - and there are singers known as chansonniers who interpret these, Edith Piaf being perhaps the best known outside France. This is John Greaves' vision of chanson, and it's a little gem, although fans of his RIO/Canterbury work may find it a little surprising.
Greaves wrote all the music and the words were written by one Christophe Glockner. My French is good enough to understand that the lyrics are extremely clever, but sadly nowhere near good enough to appreciate all their subtleties and nuances. The musical backing is quite minimal; Greaves plays piano and acoustic bass guitar, David Ventucci double chromatic accordion and Louis Sclavis plays clarinet and soprano sax here and there. Elise Caron is the chansonnier who brings the songs to life, and saving a couple of guest appearances that's it. This is very much in keeping with Greaves' recent albums, which have tended to be largely acoustic, although the style is very French and shows only traces of his RIO/Canterbury roots. Of especial interest is the guest appearance by Robert Wyatt on Melange, to which he contributes featherlight percussion and his distinctive voice, and this is where the album edges closest to any kind of rock connection. The arrangements are superb and the limited instumental voices are juggled adeptly to create a range of moods and atmospheres, and anybody who professes distaste for the accordion may be won over by Ventucci's incredible technique.
In its highly specialised field this is a minor masterpiece, but given the review criteria on this site I think good but non essential sums it up. Fans of Slapp Happy or the Greaves/Blegvad masterpiece Kew.Rhone will find plenty to enjoy here, especially French speakers, as will afficiandos of the eccentric French outfit ZNR. Newcomers to John Greaves would be better starting with Songs or La Petite Bouteille De Linge. Cautiously recommended.

Trauma in pregnancy presents a unique challenge, because of the anatomical and physiological changes of pregnancy, and the assessment and treatment of pregnant patients differ accordingly. In this review article, the focus is on familiarizing the anesthesiologists with physiological changes of pregnancy, their effect on response to trauma, resuscitation, and anesthetic management of trauma patient during pregnancy.

Trauma in pregnancy is currently a leading cause of nonpregnancy-related maternal deaths and fetal demise. The management of trauma in pregnancy requires a multidisciplinary team involving the anesthesiologist, obstetrician, and the trauma surgeon. Despite the high incidence of severe or moderately severe injury in obstetric patients, there is paucity of literature in anesthesiology journals regarding its diagnosis and management. Therefore, a randomized MEDLINE search for recent articles from 2000 to 2011 highlighting anesthetic, obstetric, and surgical considerations for management of trauma in pregnancy was performed and current recommendations from these have been incorporated in this review.
Trauma complicates approximately 6-7% of all pregnancies which may be associated with maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. [1] The most common etiology for trauma in pregnancy are motor vehicle accidents, falls, violent assaults, and burn injuries. Management of the pregnant trauma victim requires a multidisciplinary approach in order to optimize outcomes for mother and fetus. [2] Anatomic, physiologic, changes, and existence of two lives should be considered while assessment, resuscitation, and stabilization of mother takes priority. Radiologic procedures should be used as indicated, minimizing fetal exposure to radiation. This review article discusses the anatomic, physiologic changes, assessment, and treatment of pregnant trauma patients.
Clinical Significance of Physiological Changes of Pregnancy
The effective management of pregnant trauma victims (PTVs) requires the clinician to consider and understand the unique changes in anatomy and physiology of pregnancy. During the first trimester of pregnancy, the bony pelvis protects the uterus and the fetus from direct injury. The uterus enlarges into the peritoneal cavity after the 12 th week of pregnancy, protecting other maternal abdominal organs, although it now becomes more susceptible to injury. The pathophysiology and location of maternal injuries in pregnancy may significantly different from those that commonly occur in the nonpregnant women. [3]
The relative hemodilution and hypervolemic state [Table 1] is protective for the PTV during hemorrhage, [4] because fewer red blood cells (RBC) are lost and almost 40% of maternal blood volume may be lost without manifestation of signs of maternal shock. Thus, cardiovascular changes during pregnancy may complicate the evaluation of intravascular volume, the assessment of blood loss, and the diagnosis of hypovolemic shock. Maternal hemodynamic measurements may not accurately reflect the status of the uteroplacental circulation. Heath care providers managing PTV should remember that pregnancy maximally dilates the uterine vasculature, so that autoregulation is compromised, and uterine blood flow is directly dependent on maternal mean arterial pressure (MAP). [2]
Table 1: Physiological changes during pregnancy[3,5]
The hormonal effect of pregnancy increases the clotting factors [Table 1]. Increased levels of coagulation factors may improve hemostasis following trauma; however, at the same time parturients remain at increased risk for thromboembolic complications during periods of immobilization. [2] The buffering capacity during pregnancy is also diminished, hence PTVs rapidly develop metabolic acidosis during periods of hypoperfusion and hypoxia.
Normal respiratory changes of pregnancy are referred to as "physiological hyperventilation" characterized by increased tidal volumes, normal respiratory rate, and respiratory alkalosis. [3] Pregnancy-induced generalized weight gain, a high body mass index (BMI), laryngeal edema, tongue enlargement and significant increase in breast size have been associated with an increased risk of airway management including difficult intubation. Therefore, the use of a short handled laryngoscope has been widely recommended in obstetric patients. In addition, placing the patient in the sniffing position helps to keep the laryngoscope handle away from the breasts. [6] Furthermore, despite adequate visualization of vocal-cords at laryngoscopy, laryngeal edema may prevent the passage of a standard size endotracheal (ET) tube, hence a smaller size internal diameter ET tube is required for intubation. [7] The raise of diaphragm by 4 cm and enlargement of chest diameter by 2 cm decrease the FRC and hasten the development of hypoxemia. Care should be taken to consider these anatomic changes, when thoracic procedures such as thoracostomies are being performed in pregnancy. An elevated gastric acid content, with decreased pH, and reduced function of the gastro-esophageal sphincter secondary to the mechanical and hormonal effects of pregnancy predisposes to increased incidence of nausea, vomiting, and aspiration.
Types of Trauma
Head and neck injuries, respiratory failure, and hypovolemic shock constitute the most frequent causes of trauma-related maternal death and are most common in transportation accidents and falls in pregnancy. It has been empirically established that a Glasgow coma scale of 8 or less usually requires intubation and mechanical ventilation or both in PTVs. [8]
In contrast to nonpregnant women, abdominal trauma is more likely to occur than head injury during pregnancy. Maternal mortality from blunt trauma is estimated to be about 7%, while the fetus is at significant risk, especially if placental abruption or uterine rupture occurs. [9] The physical examination and evaluation of possible injury to the abdomen differs, because of the presence of a gravid uterus in pregnancy.
Penetrating trauma during pregnancy is primarily the result of stabbing or gunshot wounds. As pregnancy progresses, intra-abdominal organs change their position, with important implications. The bowel is pushed upward by the enlarged uterus, thus penetrating injury to the upper part of the abdomen is more likely to be associated with multiple gastrointestinal injuries. During the third trimester, penetrating injuries to the lower quadrants of the abdomen almost exclusively involve the uterus, and fetal injury may occur in 60% to 90% of cases. Gunshot wounds to the uterus carry a maternal mortality of 7% to 9% with fetal mortality of around 70%, while fetal mortality is still higher if injury is caused before 37 weeks of gestation. [10]
The preferred diagnostic modalities for evaluation during the first trimester of pregnancy are ultrasound, [11] diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL), and computed tomography (CT-scan). DPL is rarely used nowadays, since it is an invasive procedure. During the second and third trimesters, the injured pregnant patient can best be assessed by ultrasound or CT-scan. [12] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) seems to have no detrimental effect on mother and fetus. However, the major drawback of an MRI is the lack of portability and long examination times requiring removal of patient from close monitoring. [13]
Signs of obvious intra-abdominal injury like shock, peritoneal signs, and evisceration are confirmed by investigations. Gunshot and stab wounds to the abdomen are managed both in pregnant and nonpregnant patients with exploratory laparotomy. Specific indications for cesarean section during celiotomy include maternal shock near term, threat to life from any cause, mechanical limitation for maternal repair, irreparable uterine injury, hemodynamic instability in a potentially viable fetus, unstable thoracolumbar spine injury, and maternal cardiac arrest. [10]
The incidence of thermal injury during pregnancy is around 6.8% to 7.8% of all pregnancies. [14] The maternal and fetal outcome is related to the extent of burns, and the gestational age of the fetus. The rule of nine is used to determine the percentage burns according to total body surface area involved. Similar to the trauma victims, initial treatment of the parturient with thermal injury should involve attention to the airway, breathing, and circulation. Urgent delivery has been considered the treatment of choice in term or near term pregnant women with extended burn injury. [15],[16] Pulmonary function can be directly or indirectly affected by thermal injury. Increased vascular permeability throughout the microcirculation may contribute to the development of pulmonary edema and acute respiratory distress syndrome. [14] Indications for early intubation include the presence of copious secretions, hypoxia, or upper airway edema that may subsequently progress to airway obstruction. So the trachea should be intubated before edema develops and intubation becomes technically difficult. Timely and aggressive resuscitation including early control of the airway with obstetric management including early delivery of the fetus is vital for optimal maternal and fetal outcome. [17]
Electrical injury: There are conflicting reports on fetal injury following electric shock. The clinical spectrum of electrical injury ranges from a transient unpleasant sensation felt by the mother and no effect on her fetus to fetal death either immediately or few days later. Several factors, such as the magnitude of the current and the duration of contact, are thought to affect outcome [18] [Table 2].
Table 2: Specific complications of trauma in pregnancy
Initial Assessment and Resuscitation
The initial survey of trauma in pregnant patients consists of thorough evalusion, stabilization, and does not differ from evaluation of nonpregnant patients. [27] Volume resuscitation can be complicated by supine hypotension syndrome in the supine position, so patients should be resuscitated in the left lateral position. However, if the patient must remain supine, manual deflection of the uterus to the left or placement of a wedge under the patient's right buttock or 15° left tilt of the table on which patient is lying must be considered. [28] Recognition of hemorrhagic shock is at the center of advanced trauma life support. Hemorrhagic shock indicates the need for rapid operative treatment with the possibility of a "damage control" approach.
Resuscitation consists of maintenance of circulation, breathing, and airway (CAB). [29] Resuscitation during acute hemorrhage shock is controversial, but current recommendations are maintenance of blood composition by early transfusion of red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and limiting the crystalloid transfusion. Two large-bore (14 or 16-G) intravenous lines should be placed, and crystalloid in the form of lactated Ringers' solution or normal saline should be given as a 3:1 replacement for the estimated blood loss over the first 30-60 min of acute resuscitation. O-negative packed red cells are preferred if emergent blood transfusion is needed before the patient's own blood group is known. A urinary catheter should be placed to measure urine output and to observe hematuria. Oxygen should be administered by face mask or an endotracheal tube and oxygen saturation should be maintained at >90% with an oxygen partial pressure of 60 mmHg.
The goals of initial resuscitation consists of maintenance of systolic blood pressure at 80 to 100 mmHg, maintenance of functional values of pulse oximetry, hematocrit at 25%, to 36%, platelet count >50,000/cu mm, normal serum calcium, core body temperature > 35° C, avoiding an increase in serum lactate level and metabolic acidosis, along with providing adequate analgesia.
Secondary Survey
Following stabilization, a more detailed secondary survey of the patient, including fetal evaluation is performed. The patient should be questioned about seat belt used in motor vehicle accidents (MVA), fainting, pain, last menstrual period or gestational age of the fetus, vaginal bleeding, amniotic fluid leaking, and fetal movement. Physical examination should focus on abdominal tenderness and a search should be made for orthopedic injuries on other parts of the body.
If the mother's condition is stable, the status of the fetus and the extent of uterine injury determine further management. A potentially viable fetus showing no signs of distress should be monitored by fetal Doppler ultrasound and an external tocotransducer should be used to detect the onset of uterine contractions. If premature labor ensues, tocolytic therapy may be initiated. When a viable fetus shows signs of distress, despite successful resuscitative measures, a cesarean delivery must be performed expeditiously. A nonviable fetus may be managed conservatively in the uterus optimizing maternal oxygenation and circulation.
In the head and neck injury patients, if there is an uncertainty about the integrity of the cervical spine, fiberoptic awake intubation of the trachea should be considered. [30] If direct laryngoscopy is planned, an "in line stabilization" of the head and neck by an assistant to prevent extension and rotation of the cervical spine is indicated. [31],[32] It is currently believed that succinylcholine can be used when there is an urgent need to secure the airway in the head-injured PTV depending upon the ICP levels either intravenous or inhalational induction should be considered. Nevertheless, aggressive maternal resuscitation should always be the initial highest priority, rather than concerns about intracranial pressure or neuroanesthesia, which often proves lifesaving for both the parturient and her fetus. [6] [Table 3].
Table 3: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pregnancy[35]
Anesthesiologists in practice at designated trauma centers are involved in the care of trauma patients beginning with airway maintenance and resuscitation in the emergency department (ED), proceeding through the operating room or to the intensive care unit (ICU). Anesthesia for trauma patient differs as most urgent cases may occur during off-hours, when the most experienced OR and anesthesia personnel may not be available. Patient information may be limited, and allergies, genetic abnormalities, and previous surgeries may create unexpected crises. Simple operations may become complicated, requiring special surgical and anesthesia equipment at short notice. Patients often have multiple injuries requiring complex procedures, which need to be prioritized during management. Occult injuries such as tension pneumothorax, can manifest unexpectedly. Successful management of these patients requires a good understanding of pathophysiology, supplemented by adequate preparation, and the ability to react quickly to the changing circumstances.
The recent literature documenting anesthetic, obstetric, and surgical management of PTVs is limited. [32] In general, the difficulty in perioperative management of reproductive age female trauma victims arises from an uncertain preoperative obstetric (possibly pregnant) status. The difficulty in perioperative management of PTVs also increases from elective, to urgent to emergent situations. [2] The anatomic and physiologic changes of pregnancy such as increased oxygen requirements and consumption, decreased functional residual capacity, high BMI, laryngeal edema, etc. may increase difficulty during perioperative management, while decreasing the "safe apnea interval" and the margin of safety. Assumption of a full stomach with increased risk for aspiration of gastric contents should prompt pharmacological prophylaxis in all parturients for prevention of aspiration. The use of general anesthesia has been steadily declining in obstetrics; however in selected cases it may still be necessary . When general anesthesia is planned, a crash induction with cricoid pressure, to decrease the risk of regurgitation and aspiration of gastric contents, is indicated. Lung denitrogenation with 100% oxygen is mandatory before rapid sequence induction during general anesthesia. [33]
Intravenous induction agents like, propofol and thiopental sodium, are vasodilators, inhibiting circulating catecholamines, and have negative inotropic effect. Their administration to a trauma patient with hemorrhagic shock may potentiate profound hypotension or even cardiac arrest. Etomidate is a frequently used alternative because of its cardiovascular stability; however, it also inhibits the circulating catecholamines and may produce hypotension. Ketamine continues to be a popular induction agent for trauma patients because of its central nervous system stimulating effect, though in hemodynamically compromised patients, its direct myocardial depressant effect may lead to cardiovascular collapse. Thus, all anesthetic agents must be used cautiously in PTV with life-threatening hypovolemia.
Succinylcholine remains the muscle relaxant of choice for its fast onset and fast offset actions for rapid-sequence induction. Administration of succinylcholine is associated with several adverse consequences and should be used judiciously. Alternatively, Rocuronium, with a safer cardiovascular profile, can be used in place of succinylcholine, to avoid the adverse effects of the latter and to provide rapid relaxation. [8]
Equipment to facilitate difficult intubation like gum elastic bougie, intubating stylet, esophageal combitube, and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) should be readily available whenever emergency airway management is performed. The most recent advanced trauma life support (ATLS) guidelines suggest that practitioners providing emergency airway management should proceed with the method of intubation with which they are most proficient. [34] In general, oral intubation is preferred to nasal intubation in an emergency, to avoid risks of injury to the brain from nasal instrumentation in the presence of a basilar skull or cribriform plate fracture.
Challenges related to satisfactory pain relief for trauma in pregnancy are related to multiple sites of injury requiring prolonged periods of care, complicated with psychological and emotional issues, and concerns for fetal well-being. Epidural analgesia provides adequate analgesia and hastens recovery following thoracoabdominal and orthopedic trauma.
The anesthesiologist should insist on adequate monitoring standards in both emergency room and the operating theatres, with mandatory electrocardiogram, blood pressure, oximetry, and capnometry. In addition, a tocotransducer to detect the onset of uterine contractions and cardiotocographic monitoring in viable fetus should be used. A correlation between the maternal bicarbonate level and fetal outcome has been suggested. Therefore, it may be useful to monitor the maternal serum bicarbonate level in addition to other hemodynamic parameters. In hemodynamically unstable trauma patients, invasive hemodynamic monitoring is mandatory. This usually consists of continuous intra-arterial blood pressure measurement and central vein cannulation. [3]
The experienced anesthesiologist can play an important role along with the multidisciplinary team, regarding prioritization of different surgical procedures on the trauma victim. Aggressive resuscitation of the mother should take priority over concerns for fetal well being. The secondary effects of trauma result in an increase in the morbidity and mortality of pregnant trauma victims, an anesthesiologist can play a major role in preventing these secondary effects.[35]

With a rare excuse to reach to the back in your closet and pull out your Hawaiian shirts and sundresses, you can start your weekend with a smile and a night at the track on Friday, June 20 at Churchill Downs. Can you imagine standing feet from Rosie Napravnik as she mounts a gorgeous chestnut filly or Calvin Borel entering the tunnel to the track on a bay colt while you sip a mai tai with hibiscus behind your ear and a lei around your neck?
Hawaiian luau is certainly not the traditional image of fascinators, fedoras, bowties and bourbon that comes to mind when we think of horse racing during Derby season. Downs after Dark is giving us a non-traditional spring meet experience with a DJ on the plaza and casual Hawaiian attire while watching world class athletes compete in a historic venue.
An early arrival and visit to the Kentucky Derby Museum are in order for the serious fan and the curious. Churchill Downs gates open at 4:00pm. Kentucky Derby Museum is open until 5:00pm. First race post time is 6:00pm. Churchill Downs is a destination that offers entertainment at all price levels. You may create your experience to fit your wallet; and June 20, if you dare, is the day to do it in a grass skirt.


Amal Alamuddin, the British-Lebanese human rights lawyer who is engaged to George Clooney, has turned down a United Nations offer to investigate war crimes in Gaza.
The UN's Geneva-based Human Rights Council announced on Monday that she would serve on a three-member commission of inquiry looking into possible violations of the rules of war during the Israeli offensive against Hamas.
But hours later Clooney's Hollywood agent, Stan Rosenfield, issued a statement on Alamuddin's behalf saying she had declined the post because she was too busy.
"I am horrified by the situation in the occupied Gaza Strip, particularly the civilian casualties that have been caused, and strongly believe that there should be an independent investigation and accountability for crimes that have been committed," said the statement.
According to the Associated Press, which first reported the appointment – a story run by the Guardian, among others – Gabon ambassador Baudelaire Ndong Ella, who is president of the 47-nation UN Human Rights Council, made the announcement of her appointment.
The report said Alamuddin would serve alongside Doudou Diene of Senegal, a lawyer who has filled UN posts on racism and human rights in Ivory Coast, and Canada's William Schabas, an international law professor at Middlesex University in London.
The UN's top human rights body did not immediately respond to a request for clarification over why it announced the inclusion of Clooney's fiancee.
The Beirut-born barrister, who is fluent in French and Arabic, has represented Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, and Yulia Tymoshenko, a former prime minister of Ukraine.
A graduate of St Hugh's College at Oxford and New York University School of Law, Alamuddin, 36, works out of the Doughty Street Chambers in London, specialising in human rights and international law.
According to the chambers' website, she has served as counsel to the inquiry led by UN special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights, Ben Emmerson QC, into the use of drones, and as an adviser to Kofi Annan.
Her engagement to Clooney, 52, was announced in April. The star of Ocean's Eleven has campaigned for liberal causes in the US and human-rights causes abroad, notably in Darfur.
Navi Pillay, the UN's top human rights official, accused Israel of not doing enough to protect civilians in Gaza and suggested war crimes may have been committed. She also accused Hamas of "indiscriminate attacks" on Israel.
Hollywood, which has close ties to Israel, has remained largely mute on Gaza. The few who have criticised Israel, such as Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem and Rihanna, have been strongly rebuked by other celebrities, prompting several to backtrack.
Sam Asi, a Hollywood-based Palestinian reporter for the BBC and UK Screen, contrasted the reticence over Gaza with the Arab spring, when artists condemned oppressive regimes.
He pressed one star, a Unicef ambassador, about the death of children, but she declined, said Asi, "saying that she is no expert on this matter and doesn't want her words to be misinterpreted".

An unexpected decrease in syrup falls on your paper during breakfast inside the coffee. The training lasted 20 minutes longer than planned, leaving your clothes Clothes Look Clean, with the most disgusting scent you could think of. You have left a little too long under the garment in your laundry basket. You can not ask Mom if she's going to do your laundry so she can not dither. This calls for a very important factor and a factor only: a holiday in a washing place. With the laundry basket filled, covered with Tide detergent and Downy fabric conditioner, proceed as for the wash area. None of the machines work, and that means you should be able to start your washing, not a problem, right? Both units are total, there is zero minutes left on the device. Nobody comes to this class. You come back 20 minutes later, to discover exactly the same thing: precisely the same garment forced contrary to the window at the entrance of the machine. Nobody has even been right here. "I guess I'll wait a little longer," you say. Another 20 downy detergent full minutes, so you return to the washroom with time to determine each student removes his wet whites from the machine, placing them in the basket to be able to move the bandits to the dryer. Forty minutes. This is certainly the time you have been waiting with anxiety. So, how long have their own clothes had the experience? Did someone wait for his laundry? Can they come back when their dryer is finished or will they still procrastinate? Most people are not used to discussing units and hairdryers with more men and women than their family colleagues, and some people do their washing automatically at the beginning.
It became my name: I huddle to wash my clothes, "Yes, indeed, your clothes are sweaty during the day, wash yourself, no matter how good your clothes The best fabric are by the after. How do you train the hair just feel vivid? well, conditioner ensuring that it is fresh. If you have found a Downy fabric conditioner. This can practically as well with logos. according to the site.

Beyond Earthly Distinction
by Bhai Sahiba Dr. Bibi Inderjit Kaur Khalsa
The God-conscious being is always unstained, like the sun,
which gives its comfort and warmth to all.
The God-conscious being looks upon all alike, like the wind,
which blows equally upon the king and the poor beggar.
Siri Guru Granth Sahib, Guru Arjan Dev Ji
Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji lived and breathed a sensitivity to all living things. Throughout his life he exemplified a compassion that ran so deep, his love and protection extended to all beings in God's creation. Many times we are blinded by the exterior covering, so we fail to look deeper. Yet the pervasiveness of the One Spirit that exists in all beings does not discriminate. It requires perseverance to look deeper, to go beyond earthly distinctions and discover the true reality, which may be concealed, but is absolutely real. Seeing beyond the obvious is often a challenge, but it is our obligation as the Guru's Sikhs.
There is one story in particular that illustrates Guru Har Rai Ji's depth of compassion. This comes from a Suraj Prakash, which refers to very old stories of the Gurus, as handed down from the families who were alive during the times of our Gurus. I have always been intrigued by this Suraj Prakash, which tells of Guru Har Rai Ji and a wounded snake that he encountered, while walking in the company of his Sikhs.
Snakes are considered the lowliest of God's creatures, crawling only on their belly, near the ground. They are so often associated with trickery and deceit. The response most of us have when we see a snake is to retreat or possibly to kill it. Yet in this story of the snake who had the great good fortune to meet Guru Har Rai Ji and his Sikhs, we see a different scenario unfold. We may also have the opportunity to learn something about the judgments we make, based only on surface facts.
The Wounded Snake
As Guru Har Rai Ji was walking with his Sikhs, their eyes fell upon a wounded snake that was crawling toward them with considerable difficulty. The snake was clearly near the end of its life; it was being tortured by worms, which it tried to shake off by wriggling and shaking its body. Guru Har Rai Ji in his mercy granted the wounded snake its salvation in eternity and liberated its soul from pain forever. As the Guru's disciples watched him with the snake, they saw a powerful, bright light issue from its body and soar upward to the heavens.
The Guru's Sikhs begged him to explain what had happened, and how it was that a light so bright and powerful resided inside the body of such a wretched creature.
Guru Har Rai Ji explained that this serpent had lived during the time of Guru Nanak, as a gifted pandit with considerable knowledge and wisdom. From his countless good acts in previous incarnations, this pandit had earned a life of comfort and good fortune. Yet he had become enamored by his power, and had started using his knowledge to falsely present the Vedas. He played upon others' ignorance to appear as a wise sage, when in fact he was spouting lies and deceit. He asserted that he himself was the true guru. Then he began to make injurious reflections on Guru Nanak Dev Ji's hymns, saying, "What is this hymn in this vulgar dialect?"
The pandit did not know that Guru Nanak Dev Ji's compositions were the pure, true Light of God. He failed to listen to the Divine wisdom, which would have lifted him out of his quagmire. In his heart he knew that the Vedas could not help him, but he rejected his only chance to know true reality because the dialect was unfamiliar to him. He chose not to look beneath the surface. At the end of his life, the pandit's soul passed into this serpent, and ever since the worms had been causing him to suffer, because of the deceit he had practiced on people.
Yet on this day, due to the many good acts to his credit from previous births, the snake was given the opportunity to meet Guru Nanak Dev Ji's followers. From this gathering of the sadh sangat, he obtained his salvation. Then Guru Har Rai Ji quoted this verse from Guru Arjan Dev Ji:
By association with the saints, one has no pain or struggle.
There is no necessity to toil in their company.
On beholding and meeting them a person becomes happy.
Guru Har Rai Ji cautioned his Sikhs to remember that however much you read Vedantic literature, it will be a source of misery unless you love the True Guru. Then he quoted the following verse from Guru Arjan Dev Ji:
Though one be very beautiful, of high birth,
clever and divine in words and very wealthy;
Yet shall he be deemed as dead, O Nanak,
if he has no love for God.
Guru Har Rai Ji said that one who falsely calls himself a guru shall have no happiness; on the contrary, terrible suffering will ensue. "O my beloved Sikhs," he said, "wherever you are, listen to me, and do not ever consume any portion of offerings given to you. They will not assist you in distress, but on the contrary, will lead you into the power of death, and shall wring from you loud lamentations. Perform honest labor, serve the saints and the True Lord Master shall everywhere be your support."
Rely only on the True One who resides within all.
