Lifeguard Polish Uhlans
Having been impressed with a guard of Polish cavalry in 1807 Napoleon ordered that a Polish light cavalry regiment be raised and added to his growing Imperial Guard. This was done, and the regiment saw its first action in Spain in the following year. The dates for this set start in 1809 because it was in this year that the regiment was first issued lances, and the men were henceforth known as the Polish Lancers. In this guise they performed well in many of their emperor's campaigns, and some even accompanied him into exile on Elba in 1814.
The uniform of these men changed little during the years 1809 to 1815, and it has been well captured on these miniatures. The full dress czapska, uncovered and in its full glory with the long plume, caps a dazzling uniform which is very Polish in style and perfectly done here. With the issue of the lance the uniform was changed in that the fringed epaulette was moved to the right shoulder and the aiguillette moved in the opposite direction, and this is properly done here. The officer, who never carried a lance, retained the former arrangement as can be seen on the officer figure at the end of our second row. This figure also wears his sash, which was generally reserved for full dress and not worn in action, but then all the figures are wearing full dress, so while it looks fantastic it is not really what these troops looked like in the field of battle. However many people like to see the full dress on figures, and these certainly deliver that very nicely.
The horses are all properly attired too, with the long pointed shabraque suitably monogrammed. As with the uniform this is in parade fashion, as on campaign the long corner was tied up to protect this expensive item. Otherwise saddles and all straps look good. Most of the horses have a carbine beside the saddle (in 1813 the front rank were given lances but no carbines, while the rear ranks had carbines but no lances). Three of the poses are very good, but the first animal in the second row of horses is less so. The holes in their sides are to accommodate the pegs between the rider's legs, which will need to be trimmed down to allow the rider to be positioned.
As so often with Zvezda we can find no fault with the quality of the sculpting and production. All the proportions are excellent and the level of detail superb. Lances are very tricky things to model at this sort of scale, and this set only includes three poses carrying one. The upright lance and the couched lance (either end of the top row) are both standard and very useful, but the second man in that same row, who is using his lance across the neck of his horse, is particularly fine and shows what can be done even with such a difficult subject. All the figures look utterly lifelike and exhibit no flash or other imperfections. The separate lances fit well so are a joy to put together.
If there is an imperfection in this set then we think it is with the pennants. The lances themselves are excellent, being slim and of a proper length (38mm, which is 2.75m and therefore perfect), but the pennants are rather shorter than the real thing, being only a scale 650mm in length instead of the correct 730mm. This makes them rather square and look more like guidons than the long flowing pennants of history, which is a pity as the same proportions have been used on all the lances here. Otherwise the main criticism is that these men never went into battle in this full dress uniform, but whether the use of this uniform here is a bad or good thing depends on each customer's preference. Why they are entitled 'lifeguard' we do not know, unless it is a vague reference to their status as part of the Imperial Guard, but if you want full dress Polish (or for that matter 2nd or Dutch) lancers in battle then this really must be the set for you.

Which best describes the author's viewpoint toward the actual Rosetta Stone in "The Rosetta Stone"?
c Explanation: read passage and you will get it
A. It is a fascinating artifact that can help people better understand the past. Explanation: just took the test
B.) It is a historical artifact that scholars spent too much time trying to understand. Explanation: Just took the test!!!
b. Explanation:
C probably Explanation: i'm in sixth grade , learned this a month ago.
It is a fascinating artifact that can help people better understand the past best describes the author's viewpoint toward the actual Rosetta Stone in "The Rosetta Stone". "The Rosetta Stone" caused a lot of nations to be embroiled in rivalries, and such rivalry stemmed from its transfer from the French to the British in 1800s.
It is a fascinating artifact that can help people better understand the past. Explanation: The Rosetta Stone is an ancient stone discovered by archaeologists that began an intense study for the language used in ancient Egypt. This stone had inscriptions that led and helped scholars learn about the language and script used by people in the past. Inscribed with three styles/ scripts, the stone began what will become the turning point for scholars to understand the Egyptian writing. The pictures called hieroglyphs represent certain words which the researchers tried to decipher. And when they finally got through, it helped them better understand the past and how it also helps experts learn and understand the 'picture' language of the Egyptians. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

The best and the correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice. The author's viewpoint toward the actual Rosetta Stone in "The Rosetta Stone" is that it is a historical artifact that scholars spent too much time trying to understand. I hope my answer has come to your help. Have a nice day ahead and may God bless you always! Read more on – Explanation:
The right option is; It is a fascinating artifact that can help people better understand the past. Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian stone discovered by a Frenchman called Bouchard in August 1799. The stone has inscriptions written in two languages (Egyptian and Greek) and in three writing systems (hieroglyphics, demotic script and the Greek alphabet). The inscriptions on the stone were written by a group of priests in Egypt to honour the Egyptian pharaoh. The inscription contains all the good things that the Egyptian pharaoh did for the priests and the people during his reign.

Ernest Gambier-Parry
British Army officer
Star Sign: Scorpio
Major Ernest Gambier-Parry (25 October 1853 – 15 April 1936) was a British military officer who participated in an expedition to the Sudan to avenge the grisly death of a renowned general in 1885.
However, the wounds he sustained in that campaign ended his military career.Gambier-Parry was also known for his work as an author, musician, and artist.
He succeeded to the manor at Highnam Court following the death of his half-brother Sir Hubert Parry.In addition, he preserved and archived the art collection that had been amassed by his father Thomas Gambier Parry; the masterpieces were eventually bequeathed to the Courtauld Institute of Art.

If your child has diarrhoea during their cancer treatment, there can be several causes.
The direct effect of chemotherapy on the cells lining the gut - from the mouth right through to the bottom.
An infection - particularly a viral infection (infective gastroenteritis). Your child is more at risk of this if they have low infection-fighting ability (low immunity).
Food intolerances - these can be already existing intolerances, or intolerances related to temporary damage to the bowel caused by chemotherapy, or intolerances due to previous infections.
What food and fluids should I give my child with diarrhoea?
Diarrhoea may cause your child's body to lose fluid and can lead to dehydration. Give your child more fluid to replace fluids lost in the watery poo.
Water, diluted fruit juice or flat soft drinks are suitable.
Offer your child light meals that are smaller than usual. Offer these meals more frequently than normal.
If your child has diarrhoea, they should temporarily avoid seeds, pips, skins and coarse stalks of fruit, vegetables and grain.
How can I keep food safe to eat?
Eating out can be risky because food in a restaurant may have been cooked earlier. Food cooked 'while you wait' is safe to eat. Do not ever eat chicken from a takeaway.
Check out more information about food safety for people with low immunity at the New Zealand Food Safety website.
What should I do if my child has diarrhoea?
If your child has diarrhoea, tell your child's doctor or nurse.

California cracks down on last beachfront…
California cracks down on last beachfront sand-mining operation in U.S.
(Vern Fisher – Monterey Herald)
The CEMEX sand plant in Marina on March 31, 2015.
By Paul Rogers | progers@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: May 16, 2017 at 6:00 am | UPDATED: May 16, 2017 at 1:52 pm
Moving in on the last coastal sand mining operation in the United States, California regulators are ordering a Mexican-based company to obtain permits and pay state royalties for its Monterey County plant or shut down — amid a chorus of complaints that it's causing significant erosion of beaches along Monterey Bay.
The facility, known as the CEMEX Lapis plant, has been in operation since 1906 and is located between Marina and Moss Landing. With smokestacks, conveyor belts and dredges, it produces an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 cubic yards of sand a year — enough to fill up to 30,000 dump trucks — that sells for about $4.70 a bag for a variety of uses from sand blasting to golf course sand traps to lining utility trenches.
On Tuesday, the State Lands Commission, an agency that regulates offshore oil drilling in state waters and submerged tidal lands, sent a letter to CEMEX officials demanding that the company obtain a lease from the commission and begin paying royalties, or shut down.
"Stealing public resources for private profit without a lease is a violation of the state constitution," said Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, chairman of the State Lands Commission. "This mine is a relic of an era that California and the nation rejected a long time ago, and it is past time that CEMEX engage in a dialogue on the future of operations."
Walker Robinson, a CEMEX spokesman at the company's U.S. headquarters in Houston, said the company hadn't had the opportunity to fully review the commission's action.
"The Lapis facility in Marina has been in consistent operation for more than 111 years," he said. "That the operation is a vested right and has all required entitlements to operate has been repeatedly confirmed over the last 50 years by numerous government entities."
Last year, CEMEX spokeswoman Megan Lawrence told this newspaper that the company operates the mine in an "environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations." The mine is also "a much needed resource for many local projects including municipalities, infrastructure and recreational facilities," she said.
Scientists and environmental groups, however, say the facility is causing significant erosion of beaches along Monterey Bay, from Marina south to Del Monte Beach in Monterey.
"If you take that much sand directly off the beach every year, the waves keep breaking," said Gary Griggs, director of the Institute of Marine Sciences at UC-Santa Cruz. "The southern end of the bay is eroding at a much faster rate than it would naturally."
Griggs, who has studied coastal erosion for more than 40 years, said that areas south of the sand plant, along the site of the former Fort Ord military base and down to the Monterey Tides Hotel in Monterey, are eroding at roughly 3 to 6 feet a year. Stilwell Hall, the former World War II-era officer's club at Fort Ord, had to be demolished in 2003 when cliff erosion threatened to send it crashing into the ocean.
Without the sand plant, Griggs said, the coast in that area would erode by roughly 1-2 feet a year, if not less.
In decades past, there were six major sand mining plants along the shores of Monterey Bay. They used a technique called "drag lining," in which they scraped and dragged sand with massive metal scoops from the surf line. The companies were closed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1986 and 1990, however, after the agency enforced prohibitions on sand mining below the tide line.
The Lapis mine remained open, however, because it had shifted to a method in which it pumps sand from a lagoon on the back of the beach in an area where it owns several hundred acres. Meanwhile, last year the California Coastal Commission said it will require permits, a case that is still open, but CEMEX contends that its operations predate the 1976 Coastal Act.
"Cemex is one of the Coastal Commission's highest priority cases and our enforcement staff has spent the last year in negotiation with representatives of the company, working long hours in an effort to resolve the situation," said Lisa Haage, chief of enforcement for the Coastal Commission. "We are deeply committed to this case and remain concerned about the loss of sand and the effect on beaches, access, habitat and infrastructure in the Monterey Bay, particularly in the light of the threat of sea level rise."
The State Lands Commission noted in its letter this week to CEMEX that the company's predecessor, Pacific Cement and Aggregates, had a 5-year state lease with the state and paid royalties. The commission's executive officer, Jennifer Lucchesi, wrote that sand in the lagoon comes in with the tides, so is subject to the agencies jurisdiction. If CEMEX does not apply for a state lease, conduct environmental studies and pay royalties, it could face civil liability and damages, Lucchesi wrote.

The participants in a recent 24 Hours of LeMons race at Monticello were a bit surprised when they saw a multi-million dollar one-off hyper car turn up to pace their 500 bucks pieces of junks on the parade lap. It was billionaire Jim Glickenhaus and his Ferrari P4/5. It was so cool of James to do this. He is a huge motorsport fan and even made a racing version of the P4/5 which he races in different events in Europe and America.
A round of applause for Mr. Glickenhaus.

2014 Acura MDX - For comfort and space
Dominic Racine – Acura Sainte-Julie
In recent years, the intermediate segment of luxury sport utility vehicles has filled with several models as comfortable, spacious and safe as each other.
If this category of vehicles has often been the bread and butter of German manufacturers, the Acura MDX has managed to stand out because of its comfortable and dynamic road behavior, its spacious interior for seven passengers, but especially because of its legendary reliability.
It is worth mentioning that the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) has just awarded the title of Sport Utility - Crossover Utility (over $ 60,000) for the year to the Acura MDX! It is also interesting to note that the MDX is the least expensive category among competing vehicles.
This year, Acura is back with the brand new 2014 MDX, improving on all points in addition to offering more features, technologies and equipment. It is always as comfortable in the city as on the highway, but it is now more welcoming and shows an unexpected fuel economy.
Under the hood of the 2014 Acura MDX, one finds a 3.5-liter V6 engine developing 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. If you already have an Acura MDX, you will find that the new generation is powered by an engine a tad less powerful than the previous model. Even then, the new MDX actually seems more powerful on the road while the fuel consumption improvements are significant.
With the new developments in vehicle design, it is possible to extract more power from a smaller displacement engine, which is why the new MDX has less horsepower, but shows equal or superior performance compared to the old model. Lighter, the 2014 version goes faster from 0 to 100 km / h than the previous version. In addition, its fuel economy has been greatly improved in 2014.
On paper, the 2014 Acura MDX has an average consumption of 7.7 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. In a real driving situation, it is easy to get an average fuel consumption under 9.0 liters per 100 kilometers even with cooling functions enabled. For a vehicle of this size, it is really impressive. In the city, consumption increases a little, but an actual average around 11 liters per 100 kilometers is what we observed during our test drive.
The interior space for occupants is more generous with the 2014 Acura MDX. It can still accommodate seven passengers, but they will be more comfortable compared to the older generation. Even sitting in the third row, the head- and legroom are more interesting than most rivals of the 2014 MDX.
On the road, its quietness is impressive. Acura engineers have used thicker glass as well as other adjustments to eliminate as much road noise as possible. The end result is a calm and serene drive, no matter what happens outside.
Available from $ 49,995, the Acura MDX is relatively affordable compared to its main competitors. Since maintenance costs are lower and the reliability better than German SUVs, the MDX offers hard to beat value.
Come try it today at Sainte-Julie Acura, you will not be disappointed with the new 2014 Acura MDX!

It is difficult walking the line between empathy and necessity when it comes to my daughter's condition and her treatments. It isn't fair that some people are sick while others are well. It was difficult caring for a baby that required so many medical procedures, but as she got older and was able to verbalize and communicate more, it got even harder for me. I tried to empathize with her, but it didn't change the fact that I had to give her medicine that tasted awful. I had to restrict her diet and carry out medical procedures that were uncomfortable and inconvenient. Some of these things were more crucial to her well-being than others, but they all had to be done, despite their negative psychological and emotional effects. I eventually learned that she needed to be heard. I started giving her time and space for her to have her feelings, to express them. I listened and validated her feelings. I agreed with her that it wasn't fair, but I explained to her that I was her mother, and above all else, I needed to keep her safe and healthy. I just tried to love her a lot.
I am holistic health coach with a certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I have a Master's Degree in Nursing, and worked as a Nurse Anesthetist for over a decade. I have been trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and found my passion for the power of healing through food when I read Paul Pitchford's Healing With Whole Foods in response to my daughter's medical challenges.
My daughter was born with a congenital bowel defect and endured several surgeries before her first birthday. After a highly specialized surgery to render her continent at age eight, my daughter was sent home with a list of medications that were intended for use unendingly. The medications contained chemicals and food dyes meant to alter the passage of food through her gastrointestinal tract, and I couldn't find a natural supplemental alternative. I began to research dietary solutions to her body's response to food, digestion and elimination.
During this time of navigating my daughter's medical condition, professionally, I was administering anesthesia to patients undergoing bariatric surgery; a process of shrinking the stomach so the patient is forced to eat less food. I knew there had to be a better way to solve the issue of obesity, and that there was more to being overweight than just eating too much.
I have learned that what we eat and what we don't eat can profoundly affect and heal our bodies. I offer personalized "roadmaps to health," created to suit each individual's body, lifestyle, preferences and goals.

Finding a good mood booster without negative side effects, later on, can be a challenge. Things like wine and cake feel good at the time, but they will almost always let you down later on. These ten mood-boosting foods are sure to make you feel better now without any of the guilt later.
Walnuts are a powerhouse when it comes to improving your mood. They are filled with mood-boosting compounds including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B6, and folate. Another awesome aspect of walnuts is that they have a long shelf life and don't need to be refrigerated so you can easily take them with you on the go.
Like anyone needs to convince you to eat chocolate, right? Not all chocolate is created equal, and milk chocolate can have the opposite effect as high-cocoa dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has been shown to fight depression and reduce stress hormones. It even improves blood flow to the brain, improving mental clarity and fighting that groggy feeling.
Bananas are rich in tryptophan and magnesium which both aid in relaxation. They are also a good source of B6 which helps to alleviate depression. One more thing that makes bananas the perfect mood-boosting food is their versatility; you can bring one with you on the go or add them to your favorite smoothie at home.
Yogurt is yet another source of the mood-boosting chemical tryptophan, but this is just the beginning for this delicious dairy product. Scientists have begun to find links between the probiotics in yogurts and improved mental health. Yogurt is also a great source of calcium; there is a correlation between low calcium levels and an increase in anxiety and depression.
If you were ever stranded on a desert island and there was only one food available you would want it to be the avocado. The reason behind this is that Avocados are packed with everything your body needs to survive including many nutrients that support mental health. Among the vitamins in this wonder fruit are many of the B vitamins that have been shown to boost mood and improve overall mental health and clarity.
Asparagus is a polarizing vegetable, but it should be a part of everyone's diet. Asparagus is high in serotonin-creating tryptophan, as well as depression-fighting folate. On top of its mental benefits, the nutrients in asparagus also offer a lot of physical benefits as well, and feeling good physically helps boost your mood. The compounds in asparagus have even been shown to cure hangovers which will definitely boost the mood of anyone who needs it.
Anyone who lives with anxiety knows how mentally and physically draining it can be. A surprise anxiety-buster and mood-booster comes in the form of a spoon full of honey. Honey has been used for years as a homeopathic remedy for mental health, but recent science suggests that its rich antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties are most likely the cause of its mood-boosting properties.
Tomatoes are a highly overlooked food when it comes to nutrients. They have been a staple for so long in things like garden salads, salsa, and, of course, ketchup that they have kind of been forgotten about as the super fruit that they are. Much like other foods on this list, tomatoes are rich in B vitamins which promote mental health, but they also have a few extra secret weapons. Tomatoes have high levels of lycopene and beta-carotene, which reduce inflammation and support mental and physical well-being.
Everyone loves blueberries, and it turns out that they are an excellent food to boost your mood almost instantly and protect your brain in the future. The antioxidants in blueberries have been shown to clear toxins from the brain and improve cognitive function and motor skills.
Who would have thought that the perfect mood-boosting food is quietly sitting in almost every home in the world? Chicken eggs have omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, B vitamins, and iodide, all of which are essential for brain health and mood enhancement. On top of that, they are a great low-calorie punch of protein to keep your energy levels up and prevent the "hangry" feeling.
There are plenty of other mood-boosting foods out there but these are some of the best, and the tastiest of the bunch. Most of these foods can be taken with you on the go so you can pop them in your mouth whenever the need arises.
For an added benefit combine two of these foods in a mood-boosting mega surge like yogurt and blueberries or dark chocolate and bananas. These healthy snacks are great for your overall well-being without causing guilt over high-calorie counts.

Topsy-Turvy (1999)
Dir. Mike Leigh. Starring Jim Broadbent, Allan Corduner, Michael Savage
Some movies are perfect in the grammatical, Latin sense. Casablanca is a perfect movie. Ali: Fear Eats the Soul is a perfect movie. So are The Leopard, Ordet, and The Thin Red Line. (Making a list of "perfect movies" might be a potentially fatal wormhole.) These movies accomplish: at the end, each one of those films is done. Regardless of how torturous or arduous or infamous the production and post-production, the movie itself is perfect. It has told the story and nothing is missing, needs to be added to, or has to be altered. A perfect movie is not necessarily flawless, nor should it automatically be placed at the apex of achievement by critics. Offhand, I can't recall any bad perfect movies, but sometimes a messy movie is stronger overall. Casablanca is not quite the equal of Apocalypse Now, for example. Topsy-Turvy, even if it is on first glance less august than the pictures I've alluded to, is a perfect movie. It tells a complete story, with a brief pair of epilogues attached before the "The Sun Whose Rays Are All Ablaze" closing. I know as much as I have to know about Gilbert (Broadbent) and Sullivan (Corduner), from temperament to CV to family life to whims. One learns about the various Savoyards, from D'Oyly Carte (Ron Cook) to Leonora Braham (Shirley Henderson) to George Grossmith (Martin Savage). Leigh and company are effortless in showcasing them in particular, refreshing the movie just when it might have been a little heavy on Gilbert and Sullivan. As opening night for The Mikado looms larger in the rearview, so too do men and women who were merely faces. Richard Temple, (Timothy Spall), the bass-baritone, continues to lose his edge and needs his castmates to stand up for him. Leonora's drinking and Grossmith's morphine habits take their toll. No action is forced and no hand overplayed. The result is an absolutely magnificent and even-handed command of tone and mood as we get to know, in small ways, these secretive Victorians who are living lives every bit as sinful and sad as our own; it's "just personal." It is perfect because, given the basic facts of funding, staffing, plot, etc., there couldn't have been a better movie in the works than the one that was released.
I cannot adequately express how gratifying it is to watch a movie about music which does not treat its songs like a wrapped-up parcel for its audience to open and squeal over. Walk the Line and La vie en rose and Across the Universe all do that, just to name three movies of varying quality which use their popular tunes as a crutch. Even Amadeus is occasionally guilty of this sin, squeezing in Mozart's greatest hits with a little extra gusto. For as many Gilbert and Sullivan numbers as Topsy-Turvy squeezes in, including bits from Princess Ida and The Sorcerer as well as The Mikado, it never feels like the movie is winking at us. This is not a jukebox musical; if the songs are in there, it's because they have some job to do. "A More Humane Mikado" turns into a referendum on Temple's sense of self-purpose. "Incantation," from The Sorcerer, is one of the several places in the film where Leigh gets to show off the quirks of the Victorian era. (Other highlights: the telephone, the reservoir pen.) Whether or not one needs to be a Gilbert and Sullivan fan to like the movie is not a question I can adequately answer. I like their work on the whole, but I'd hardly describe myself as a devotee. If one absolutely abhors operetta, then one probably will have a hard time with this movie in the same way that hating glam rock will probably turn one off of Velvet Goldmine. All the same, I don't think one needs an ounce of familiarity with Gilbert and Sullivan or The Mikado to make the movie work for them. The joy in the movie is not in recreating numbers but in recreating people.
The perfection of this movie is exemplified in one scene with Grossmith, Jessie Bond (Dorothy Atkinson), and Barrington (Vincent Franklin) rehearsing a scene under Gilbert's strict supervision. All of them are off book (especially Gilbert), though Grossmith is frequently tripped up by tiny differences between his reminiscence and Gilbert's exacting adherence to the script and to his own vision. Aside from mixing up "cock-and-bull" and "cock-and-a-bull" and things like that, Grossmith occasionally tries out interpretations which are quickly shot down. He plays his part Cockney at one point, which Gilbert dismisses instantly, and from the very beginning changes his character's attitude. He is a little too smarmy for Gilbert's taste. Let me remind you that you are in danger of being executed by "something lingering," Gilbert says. Grossmith does it better. It is a long scene—though not one of those one-take masterpieces like this movie executes elsewhere—involving remarkable line recall. In real life, it would be pure drudgery, the sort of hard work of acting that most of us prefer to take for granted. In the movie it's a marvelous testament to details and perfectionism. Gilbert is a perfectionist and highly detail-oriented; this is the man whose oeuvre includes some of the most filled-to-the-brim patter songs in the history of musical theater, and Broadbent plays him that way. The rehearsal scene gives us bits of Grossmith's humor, Barrington's amiability, Bond's vapidity, Gilbert's adamance, and on top of all that gives Seymour (Nicholas Woodeson), one of the various Savoy backstage personages, a little time in the sun. There's a species of good acting on display in which we just get the people being portrayed, even if they aren't always the star in the moment. In the same way that some singing is good simply by the fact of its comprehensibility, some acting is good because we know the characters at speed.
Savage as Grossmith stands out to me, as does Henderson's Braham. Grossmith, after a jovial (and disastrous) oyster lunch in one scene, proving himself to be the life of whichever party he chooses to be, starts to lose his grip. Virtually all of his appearances after his performance in rehearsal are marred by his morphine use. His dress rehearsal performance earns a rebuke from Gilbert. He is nervous and edgy with Sullivan (Corduner) in his dressing room before opening night. His face (in one of those close-ups that Leigh uses throughout the movie) is mooning and sad as he sticks himself with his needle, but the relief on his face is palpable even as he mops up the blood in his arm. When Grossmith isn't so pathetic, he's dangerously funny. In one of those aforementioned one-shot wonders, he's practicing a trio under Sullivan's supervision. While one of his partners is singing, he decides to bounce up and down with a genuine pleasure in his step. It's not a real English movie unless someone calls someone else a Philistine, and Grossmith drops that bomb on Barrington with a perfect under-his-breath comment.
Braham is less inclined to those chortling or sly moments than Grossmith, or maybe anyone at all. Henderson is sublime in just about everything she does here, from the way she murmurs all of her lines to the way she presses her glass goblet against her lips. Our first introduction to Braham is between acts of The Sorcerer. Jessie has gotten nine letters from admirers; Leonora has none. She has lost one husband, is raising a son, and as she gets older and stays single, her alcoholism takes up enough of the empty space in her life that D'Oyly Carte actually talks to her about it before The Mikado goes into rehearsals. The costumer (Alison Steadman) has designed, at Gilbert's request, costumes without corsets,which sends Bond into a minor tizzy; Braham stands up for Madame Leon, placing her face against the silk of the kimono and cooing over it. Like Grossmith, her addiction follows her into her work; Gilbert calls her "tortoise" when she is the last one to come set for a revision he has in mind. And while there's no good place to give Grossmith a really sad song or performance, there certainly is for Braham. "The Sun Whose Rays Are All Ablaze,"which is never manic like many of the other G&S favorites, is given this powerfully introspective cast as a close-up moves backwards up an invisible spiral staircase into the balcony seats. Henderson doesn't have the voice for Yum-Yum, nor do her castmates really have the voices for the parts they play. (They're good actors that I don't really mind that their singing is good-not-great, and honestly the singing isn't what matters in this movie.) The effect, accidental or otherwise, is that Braham sounds tired as she sings, taking too many breaths and never ringing the high notes. It's a melancholy ending that is accented with a knowing smile, a follow spot, indigo, and wistful lyrics about the sun and moon and sky. It's a perfect (there's that word again) two and a half minutes of film, evocative and true, and as much of the credit belongs to Henderson as anyone else.
Broadbent is the star of the movie, though, and it's a surprisingly gruff (though hardly impenetrable) performance from the guy who I'll always associate first, better or worse, with Moulin Rouge! and Zidler. Gilbert's libretti are funny, and the whole world knows it; he is one of the essential wits of Victorian England. He doesn't hesitate to joke around with his fellow Savoyards, either, which is something of a shock. But all the same he has a longing in him which manifests itself as a tendency to be affronted easily. He is prickly with his father (Charles Simon) and pretends his mother doesn't exist (Eve Pearce). His wife, Lucy (Lesley Manville) is attentive and completely invested in him, but he still tucks her into bed every night like he's her dad.
One of the movie's most potent scenes is towards the end, after it's become clear that The Mikado will become an enormous financial and critical success. Gilbert is saturnine. "There's something inherently disappointing about success," he grumbles to Lucy, not looking at her as he prepares to carry on; he is still in his fine clothes while she is in her nightgown. The satirist, addicted to twists of fate and obvious allegory, asks his wife what she would write about next. What she gives him is a story obviously about the two of them, couched in a fantasy that would otherwise be worthy of his typical far. There is no love, there are no children. It is a story filled with emptiness. Manville sells Lucy, and Broadbent's wide, sad eyes tell the rest of the tale. He is painfully guilty. It's become clear, in a very British way, that he is captivated by Jessie Bond. There's no sign that he's capable of an affair as yet, which is another way in which he's second-best to Sullivan. It is a less amicable partnership than one would expect; there are no scenes where the two men look over each other's shoulders and say, "Ah, yes, do that," or "Have you thought of this?" Gilbert goes home, writes a libretto, delivers it to Sullivan in person, and then sits back as Sullivan does the music. For as much acclaim comes his way, one can tell that Gilbert feels like the lesser partner. He knows Sullivan is the great hope of English music in a way that he is not the great hope of English theater. Sullivan has been knighted, which Gilbert never brings up but which has to burn at the man. And while Gilbert can do little more than nervously kiss Jessie on the cheek to wish her luck, Sullivan has the wherewithal to spend his time off in a Parisian brothel where some guy plays "Les oiseaux dans la charmille" and a pair of boobed prostitutes dance to the tune. Gilbert is the heart of the film and is just as pleasingly two-minded. The greatest theatrical success of the London stage has been his; he is well-off and well-heeled; he is publicly tyrannical and single-minded, which makes him respected as well. And he realizes how small he is, and it's killing him.

You can download The Take Action Calendar for Language Learners PDF here so you can print it OR right-click on the photograph below, save it and set it as a screensaver for the next 28 days!
The calendar is a work in progress and there are plans to translate it into different languages. If you have any ideas for future activities or a language you would like to see it translated into please get in touch. The next calendar will be released in September.
"We aim above the mark to hit the mark".
S.M.A.R.T.T stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely and Tangible. I love the acronym as it is a smart idea to make goals specific and with focus if you want to achieve them. The way I work is to have one big goal such as 'To have a basic conversation with a native speaker in 3 months time'. Then I break this bigger goal down into 3 -6 mini goals and these are the foundations that the bigger goal will sit upon. I like to think of these as tiny seeds that I sow. I need to nurture them daily in order for them to grow and bloom. When these seeds bloom that main goal will be complete!
I like to review my goals either weekly or monthly basis. So a smaller goal for me would be '10 minutes, 6 days a week using Flash Academy to build vocabulary' or 'X2 60 minute Italki sessions per week focusing on a specific topic' You may have noticed the extra T I have added in. I believe goals also need to be tangible in order to be achievable.
When: Set a realistic time frame.
Where: Identify a study location.
Which: Identify requirements and any potential obstacles or barriers.
Establish criteria for measuring progress towards the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you are more likely to stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience a sense of achievement that will motivate you to continue.
When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out the ways you can make them become a reality. You develop the right attitudes and abilities to reach them. You can attain almost any goal you set your mind to providing you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that will allow you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed out of reach eventually get closer and become attainable especially if you break them down into smaller manageable chunks. To make goals attainable I would highly encourage you to think about accountability. I am part of this fabulous super supportive language goal setting network called #CleartheList (external link). We share our goals on a monthly basis and this has really helped me to stay on track of my language learning and if I do start to fall off track I know they have my back just like I have their backs.
To be realistic, a goal must represent something that you are really willing to work towards and want to achieve. A goal can be set high enough to push boundaries whilst still being realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high to set your goal. A high goal is actually easier to reach than a low one because a low goals require less motivation. To know if your goal is truly realistic you need to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past. Ask yourself what requirements and support are needed to help you achieve this goal.
A goal should always be grounded within a set time frame. No time frame means there's no sense of urgency or focus. If you want to learn a foreign language, when do you want to learn it by? Anchor it within a timeframe, "by December 31st", then you've set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal ahead.
I have added this one in as I feel SMART is an awesome model for setting goals, but it was missing a really important segment. A goal that is tangible has a higher chance of being more specific, measurable and achievable.
Being tangible means experiencing it with one or more of your senses, i.e. sight, hearing, touch, taste or smell. Check out the article by Angel from FrenchLover.org on how using your senses can actually enhance language learning… How to learn French using 5 Senses (External Link).

Preteens Will Race at Kalamazoo Speedway in 2021
Bobby Guy
Bobby Guy Published: November 17, 2020
Dammit Dimmitt Race Videos via YouTube
For years, kids have been putting in laps and learning at Little Kalamazoo Speedway, in 2021 they get to race on the big track.
Joey Logano became the youngest driver to win a NASCAR cup race when he took the checkered flag at age 19 in 2009. He's an old man by these standards. Drivers aged 5-12 will be racing at Kalamazoo Speedway in 2021.
Kalamazoo Speedway has always been supportive of the up and comers, operating Little Kalamazoo Speedway right next to the track, giving young drivers a chance to turn some laps long before they can legally turn the key and operate a passenger vehicle.
Now, in 2021 the Michianna Mini-Wedges will race 6-8 times over the course of the season. Ranging from kindergarteners to 7th graders, these drivers don't have a driver's license, but they have no fear and are ready to go fast and turn left on the big track. If you know a kid that would rather drive than watch, it may be more affordable than you think- a new mini-wedge goes for about $3,500.
Hey kids, start your engines!
Kalamazoo Speedway, established in 1950, like many other businesses, had a tough year in 2020. Opening weekend was delayed until July and then had to be canceled at the last minute. It looked like they might get back to racing, but the right conditions never materialized. Drivers, crews, fans, and the entire racing community are counting the days until pre-season testing on April 16, 2021, when the engines roar again.

LeBron Approves of Cavs Signing Derrick Rose, Apparently Wants to Fight Kyrie Irving
After standing pat at the trade deadline last year, the Toronto Raptors rode their roster all the way to the Eastern Conference finals. They took LeBron James and the eventual champion Cavaliers to six games before bowing out, finishing what was easily their best season in franchise history.
In a weakened Eastern Conference, the Raptors were expected to again challenge the Cavs for the top spot this year. Early in the season, everything was going according to plan. More recently though, the wheels have been falling off. They have dropped all the way to fifth in the East, falling behind the Hawks, Wizards, and the Celtics. All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry even declared earlier this week that he was "worried" about the team's direction and felt that something needed to change, although he declined to give any further details.
Well, for better or worse, the Raptors changed something today.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, the Raps are sending small forward Terrence Ross and a 2017 first round pick to the Orlando Magic in exchange for power forward Serge Ibaka.
Orlando has agreed to trade Serge Ibaka to Toronto for Terrence Ross and a 2017 first-round pick, league sources tell @TheVertical.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 14, 2017
The Raptors own two first round picks in the 2017 draft — their own, and the Clippers'. The Magic will get whichever pick ends up being lower. Ibaka is a free agent this summer, so his time in Toronto could be short. On the other hand, by acquiring his Bird rights, the Raptors will be able to offer him a sizable contract in the off-season. Ibaka could be enticed by the idea of forming a big three with Lowry and young superstar DeMar DeRozen.

MISSION MOON: Nearly 50 years have passed since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon. Our special anniversary coverage explores how the country came together to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's goal of reaching the lunar surface by 1970, NASA's bold missions – and crippling tragedies – since that historic day, the future of space exploration and fate of Houston as America's "Space City."
Hollywood loves science fiction, of course, but perhaps less heralded is its appreciation of science fact, hence its constant return to the NASA well.
Maybe it's because movies like "First Man," "Apollo 13" and "The Right Stuff" thrum with teamwork and bravery, where the cold silence of space is punctuated by the whir of machinery and the constant threat of injury or death. In "Apollo 13," about the third manned mission intended to land on the moon, the crew members were fortunate to even come home alive. Yet while these movies spotlight individual heroes, they also show that it takes a village to send a person to space, a facet a film such as "Hidden Figures" — about a team of female African-American mathemeticians at NASA in the '60s — underscored.
Heroes like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, played by Ryan Gosling and Corey Stoll in First Man, are the ones the general public remembers today. Fewer know about people like Deke Slayton, one of the original NASA Mercury Seven astronauts featured in "The Right Stuff," who went on to become NASA's first Chief of the Astronaut Office. Aside from "The Right Stuff," in which he's played by Scott Paulin, Slayton also figures in "Apollo 13" (played by Chris Ellis), and "First Man" (played by Kyle Chandler).
In the latter two films he's calling shots that help determine the fate of the space program and the missions at hand. There's a reason he's in all three movies: He's very important, even if not everyone knows his name.
Armstrong, though, is the big name in "First Man" with good reason. He was, after all, the first man on the moon, and the author of the book on which "First Man" is based. The film is a stoic hero's journey, with a protagonist hounded by the death of his young daughter and several friends and colleagues in the program. The moonwalk itself is a triumph, but it's also very personal.
"The scenes depicting Armstrong's moonwalk take on a mythical dimension in the way that they are staged and shot, with a golden glow radiating from his helmet, giving it the quality of a ceremonial mask of sorts," says Rodney F. Hill, a film professor at Hofstra University who is also curating a film series to coincide with the 50th anniversary.
Such scenes and story lines, Hill says, distinguish "First Man" as less of an ensemble than a hero's quest.
Or, if you will, one giant leap for mankind.
By contrast, "The Right Stuff," the 1983 film based on Tom Wolfe's book about the original Mercury astronauts, is more of a group portrait. "The Right Stuff" has a swagger to it, a mythological quality of larger-than-life young men proving themselves against each other and for each other. It's really about the pilot's life and credo more than any particular mission. And it has room for fun, especially when Fred Ward's gruff Gus Grissom is on screen.
2001: A Space Odyssey —Stanley Kubrick's ground-breaking epic in which humanity finds a mysterious object buried beneath the lunar surface and sets off to find its origins with the help of HAL 9000, the world's most advanced super computer.
The Right Stuff —Chronicling the larger-than-life exploits of the original seven Mercury astronauts — Alan Shepherd, Gus Grissom and John Glenn among them — during the formative years of America's burgeoning space program.
Apollo 13 —The riveting account of the technical troubles that scuttle the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1971, risking the lives of astronaut Jim Lovell and his crew, with the failed journey turning into a thrilling saga of heroism in space and back on earth.
Moon — Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son, crafted a haunting story of a lonely life on the moon starring Sam Rockwell.
Gravity — Alfonso Cuaron's thriller depicts two astronauts who find themselves completely alone in space — tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness of space after their shuttle is destroyed during a seemingly routine spacewalk.
Hidden Figures — The previously unacknowledged story of a team of African-American female mathematicians who worked at NASA showed that getting humanity into space wasn't solely the province of guys.
First Man — Focusing on the years leading up to the historic Apollo 11 mission, Damien Chazelle's biographical drama uses a personal touch to tell the story of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.

"More than being about determination and ingenuity, 'The Right Stuff' celebrates, in an unabashed fashion that might seem incongruous today, the sheer bravado and machismo of the heterosexual male," Hill says.
He points outs out a humorous montage early in the film that compares test pilots to surfers, racecar drivers, high wire and trapeze artists, human cannonballs, and high divers.
"Apollo 13" is a different animal still, a classic heroes-in-danger story depicting a true-life narrow escape. It is romantic, exciting and traditional, a close-up of the collaboration and ingenuity necessary to escape potential disaster.
"That film really is more about the space program itself, and especially the teamwork necessary to rescue the Apollo 13 astronauts when their mission is aborted due to equipment malfunction," Hill says.
Kevin Bacon, center, was in Houston to film ``Apollo 13'' with Bill Paxton, left, and Tom Hanks.
In these films the vastness of space makes for a stark contrast to the close confines of the vessels, where the men share the same air space and are close enough to touch each other. Space may be quiet, but the vessels are not, especially when there's an emergency or a crisis.
There's a real intimacy that would seem to belie the loneliness of the great beyond. This also leads to an increased use of close-ups, for we want to see what these men are thinking and feeling under such extraordinary circumstances. The most compelling interior shot in these scenes is generally that of a face.
In "First Man," as the moonwalk grows nearer, it's telling that the film stays close to the astronauts and the moon. There's no crosscutting between space and the busyness of earth, as we see in many other parts of the movie.
Once Armstrong gets to the surface, we get a long, silent pan, an awe-filled absorption into the surroundings. He has landed, along with mankind.


No matter what you have heard about human growth hormone, it is vital to get the facts about this subject directly from doctors who prescribe it for legal medical reasons.
Knowing when and why to use HGH can help you decide if this treatment is right for you.
The human growth hormone definition is that HGH, naturally secreted by the pituitary gland, is a 191 amino acid, single-chain polypeptide. Also called somatotropin, human growth hormone regulates or plays a significant role in cell reproduction, immunity, metabolism, brain functions, heart health, and tissue growth throughout life. It protects the vital internal organs from shrinkage and supports a healthy libido and nightly sleep.
What is human growth hormone, the supplement, used for in adults?
HGH therapy using supplemental human growth hormones biologically identical in structure to natural somatotropin replenishes the supply necessary when time and nature decrease what the pituitary gland produces.
Among the significant human growth hormone facts is that the body naturally decreases the amount of HGH produced by the pituitary gland after age thirty. Do not be shocked by decreasing levels of this hormone. The problems begin to occur when human growth hormone secretion occurs at a faster rate than the body can adjust to, and significant symptoms start to affect daily life. Whether on a physiological, emotional, or mental functioning level, HGH deficiency can take a toll on a person's well-being and productivity.
What Does Human Growth Hormone Do for Adults?
Unlike in children, where the primary function of human growth hormone is to fuel growth during puberty, adults need HGH for many other crucial reasons.
What does human growth hormone do that is so important in later years when we are finished growing?
When asking what does HGH do, the bigger question may be what does it not do?
Human growth hormones will not keep you from getting older – that is a fact of the passing of time. What HGH is used for is to prevent premature aging, and reverse the signs associated with this action when adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) begins to rob a person of his or her youthful looks and vitality long before old age.
What is human growth hormone used for in the later years of one's life to prevent other health conditions?
HGH helps to keep the muscles and bones strong to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
What is HGH? Clearly, it is a hormone that helps to maintain energy, appearance, and well-being throughout a person's lifetime.
Most people wind up here at Greenberg Health by searching human growth hormone online. It is better that you are here rather than any of the multitude of websites that promote the use of HGH for athletic or bodybuilding purposes. HGH requires a doctor's prescription which can only come after proper blood analysis and physical examination.
Is human growth hormone legal for sports or muscle enhancement for competition?
No, HGH is not legal for those purposes. Even worse, the use of hgh human growth hormone injections for those reasons carries potential dangers for the body. The pituitary gland will sense when there is too much HGH in the bloodstream, and it will cease natural production. Side effects could also occur when HGH levels are too high.
Is HGH safe when purchased online?
Human growth hormone injections purchased from a legitimate source, such as a licensed US pharmacy, are safe to used once a doctor provides a prescription. HGH is not safe when purchased online without a prescription from one of the myriad companies overseas. There is no way of knowing what you are getting, and you have no idea if you even need HGH and how much to take.
To get HGH legally and safely, contact Greenberg Health for a free consultation and learn how to complete the simple AGHD diagnostic steps that will result in superior human growth hormone treatment and benefits.


There are many different types of skin infections, but Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, known as MRSA, is one to pay attention to. MRSA is a type of bacteria on the skin that cannot be treated by many antibiotics. The bacteria can enter the body through a sore, cut, breathing tube or a catheter. The infection caused by MRSA can be minor and limited to a small red area on the skin or more serious, involving the heart, lung, bones or blood. MRSA can cause large gaping wounds on the skin that can allow other infections into the body. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the estimated number of people developing a serious MRSA infection in 2005 was 94,360. Approximately 18,650 people died during a hospital stay related to a serious MRSA infection. You can get MRSA in a hospital or in the community through direct skin-to-skin contact. Rates are highest in a hospital setting. People most likely to have problems from MRSA include adults ages 65 or older, Blacks, males, and athletes, especially wrestlers due to skin-to-skin contact.
In an effort to increase community awareness, there is a need to know the signs and symptoms of MRSA. Like all other infections, the ability to recognize the signs and symptoms and receiving treatment for MRSA in the early stages helps to reduce the chances of the infection becoming severe. People often mistake a MRSA infection for some type of bite. MRSA first appears as a bump or infected area on the skin that may be warm to the touch, painful, red, swollen, or full of pus. Severe MRSA infection symptoms include chest pain, fatigue, fever, chills, cough, muscle aches, shortness of breath or a rash. If you experience any of these signs, you should consult a health care provider as soon as possible for evaluation.
If you or someone you know has MRSA there is treatment for this infection. The most important thing to keep in mind about the treatment of MRSA is do not try and drain the infection yourself- doing so could worsen or spread it to others. When the skin needs to be drained it should only be done by a healthcare professional. In some cases, an antibiotic is prescribed. If so, it is very important to take all the doses prescribed otherwise treatment may fail. If you think you have MRSA, cover the affected region, wash hands, and call your healthcare provider.
Health Information in the Internet: Can it Be Hazardous to Your Health?


The measurements of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) are simple and useful method of assessment of inflammation in asthmatics' airways. One of the causes of its limited application in clinical practice is a number of factors influencing the results of measurements.
The aim of the study was to determine the usefulness of eNO measurements in assessing the inflammation in a heterogeneous, in relation to atopic and smoking status, group of patients.
Materials and methods: 120 subjects suspected of having asthma participated in this study. During 2 weeks the patients noted daily asthma symptoms and daily use of rescue medication. After 14 days health related quality of life (HRQL) was determined by means of Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ), eNO levels were measured and airways reversibility test was performed. Results: Preliminary diagnosis of asthma was confi rmed in 84 patients on the basis of positive result of airways reversibility test. Among them, 21 subjects (25%) were smokers and 60 (71.4%) were atopic. No correlation was found between eNO and daily asthma symptom score, daily use of rescue medication, percent of airway reversibility after β2-agonist and HRQL. Conclusion: eNO measurements in a heterogeneous, in relation to atopic and smoking status, group of patients are of limited value in clinical assessment of asthma activity.

Q: Getting all PFGeoPoints that are within the visible map view I am using Parse within my iOS App (using Swift). Now I have a bunch of PFGeoPoints with long and latitude. If I now show the map, I would like to show each point as an annotation, that is viewable within the visible map.
I thought about something like this:
query.whereKey("location", nearGeoPoint:userGeoPoint)
where nearGeoPoint is the middle of the visible map, but this seems to be dirty.
Is there a better solution for this?
Thanks

A: Got that working using this:
let swOfSF = PFGeoPoint(latitude:37.708813, longitude:-122.526398)
let neOfSF = PFGeoPoint(latitude:37.822802, longitude:-122.373962)
var query = PFQuery(className:"Car")
query.whereKey("location", withinGeoBoxFromSouthwest:swOfSF, toNortheast:neOfSF)
var visibleCars = query.findObjects()

where swOfSF is the most south west point of San Francisco and neOfSF is the most Norh East of San Francisco

Aston Villa vs Arsenal – Premier League preview and team news
September 19, 2014 May 15, 2015 Stephen Donovan
Arsenal will be determined to end a run of four games without a win as they travel to Villa Park, with a win for the home side set to take them temporarily to top spot.
Only the most optimistic of Aston Villa supporters would have expected them to take 10 points from the opening 12 available, and they will be brimming with confidence ahead of this encounter after securing a deserved win at Liverpool. Manager Paul Lambert, along with two key players, extended his contract during the week, and things are now looking rosier.
Defender Philippe Senderos appears to have reinvented himself, contributing superbly alongside Nathan Baker in the absence of Ron Vlaar on Merseyside. Only a deflected Hull City goal has breached the Villa backline this season, so Arsenal will be aware that they face a genuine test.
The Gunners have been heavily criticised for their performance in Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, where they got away with only a 2-0 defeat. The lack of a quality defensive midfielder was one of the main criticisms, as well as a perceived lack of ruthlessness in new signing Danny Welbeck.
All that disappointment in Germany came after an encouraging display against Manchester City, where their inability to defend crosses proved their undoing late on as they had to settle for a point. The commitment on show was admirable, but three consecutive top-flight draws ensures that this is a crucial game for Arsene Wenger's side.
Vlaar faces a race against time to be fit for Villa, for whom Christian Benteke is back in training but not yet ready to play. Joe Cole is lacking in match fitness and is still out.
Nacho Monreal and Calum Chambers should be fit to return after missing the game in Germany, but Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Mathieu Debuchy are still out.

En medicina, el desgarro de Mallory-Weiss o síndrome de Mallory-Weiss se refiere a laceraciones en la membrana mucosa del esófago, normalmente causados por hacer fuertes y prolongados esfuerzos para vomitar o toser. Puede aparecer con cierta frecuencia en el punto de unión entre el esófago y el estómago y puede acompañarse de sangrado.

Historia
La enfermedad fue descrita por primera vez en 1929 por George Kenneth Mallory y Soma Weiss en 15 pacientes alcohólicos.

Epidemiología
La incidencia de la enfermedad es aproximadamente cuatro casos por cada 100 000 personas, tiende a afectar más a los hombres que a las mujeres y puede aparecer a cualquier edad. El síndrome de Mallory-Weiss causa cerca del 5 % de las hemorragias de la parte alta del tracto gastrointestinal.

Etiología
Los desgarros del esófago están cercanamente asociados a hábitos alcohólicos, desórdenes alimenticios y en algunas evidencias se demuestran la presencia de hernia de hiato como una condición predisponente. También pueden ser causados por convulsiones epilépticas. Puede estar asociado a la ingesta repetida de salicilatos, además puede afectar a fumadores habituales  de cannabis por el efecto de toser.

Cuadro clínico
El síndrome de Mallory-Weiss se presenta frecuentemente como un episódio de vómitos con sangre (hematemesis) después de violentos intentos para vomitar y/o toser. Puede también ser notado como sangre en las heces llamada melena, con una ausente historia de vómito forzado. Raramente se presenta como una condición fatal.
Se denomina melena a la presencia de sangre en el tracto digestivo alto que se aprecia como deposiciones "alquitranosas" de muy mal olor.

Diagnóstico

El diagnóstico definitivo se realiza con una endoscopía y rara vez es demostrable por radiología de rutina, aunque puede demostrarse con una angiografía después de una inyección de una sustancia de contraste.

Tratamiento
En la mayoría de los casos, la hemorragia se detiene espontáneamente después de 24-48 horas y se espera una cicatrización en aproximadamente 10 días. El tratamiento quirúrgico y/o la endoscopía es a veces requerido para suturar o ligar una arteria sangrante.

El tratamiento es normalmente efectivo, pero si la hemorragia persiste puede que sea necesaria una transfusión sanguínea o de hemoderivados. La terapia puede incluir cauterización, fotocoagulación endoscópica o inyección de epinefrina para detener la hemorragia durante el proceso de la endoscopía. Muy raramente se requiere la embolización de las arterias que proveen irrigación a la zona afectada con la finalidad de poner fin a la hemorragia.

Complicaciones
Raramente, si el desgarre es de suficiente calibre, puede causar irritación del mediastino o un derrame de pleura, la membrana que recubre los pulmones, si se llegasen a escapar jugos gástricos.

Prevención
Los trastornos que causen tos y vómitos deben ser tratados y aliviados para reducir el riesgo de un desgarro en el esófago. Se debe evitar el consumo de alcohol en exceso.
