And now for something completely different and illuminating
By Neal Justin, mcclatchy-tribune
Published 3:08 pm EDT, Friday, October 16, 2009
Those who can hum "The Lumberjack Song," recite every syllable of the "Dead Parrot" sketch and qualify as honorary members of the Ministry of Silly Walks will need little arm-twisting when it comes to investing time in "Monty Python: Almost the Truth," a six-act, high-flying circus that opens its tent flaps tonight on IFC.
But viewers of a younger generation -- the ones who define classic comedy as early Jim Carrey flicks -- will also be treated to something completely familiar: absurdist theater that sends up anything and everything reeking of authority.
If the six members of the group had practiced their silly skills a few decades later and across the pond, they'd probably be living in "South Park."
Instead, they conquered the early '70s with a breakthrough TV series, followed by a series of films, including "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "The Life of Brian," all a brilliant combination of juvenile tomfoolery and sophisticated wit that still holds up today. But the six-hour extravaganza, which includes commentary from the entire troupe, including the late Graham Chapman and Terry Gilliam, continually reminds us that grand silliness is serious business. (The original series and films will air late-night on IFC throughout the week.)
Tonight's opener, "The Not-So-Interesting Beginnings," contradicts its title with an engaging back story of six young lads, raised in the free-wheeling, post-World War II period when they no longer had to keep the radio tuned for bomb alerts and could concentrate on more frivolous matters, such as the groundbreaking series "The Goon Show," featuring a young Peter Sellers. John Cleese's account of listening to episodes with one ear pressed to the speaker and the other muffled by a pillow so he could make out every word is an early indicator of just how committed each performer was at an early age.
The second installment, "The Much Funnier Second Episode," is also the most disappointing, despite (or perhaps because of) the testimonials by more contemporary stars. It's fine to hear Russell Brand and Seth Green share their favorite sketches, but after a while, I got that creepy feeling that comes over me every time some "Family Guy" fan traps me in a corner at a party and recites every line from last week's offering, as my eyes frantically search for the exit, or at least the bar.
The rest of the project, directed by Bill Jones (son of Python's Terry Jones), Alan G. Parker and Ben Timlett, is more irreverent and more revealing as the worshipers step aside and allow the cast to revere -- and rip -- one another.
Cleese and Terry Jones, interviewed separately, come across as the most stubborn of the group, two egos battling for dominance, which made for some uncomfortable shoots, but also assured that the show wasn't too drab or too daring. (Cleese admits that he often sided with the BBC censors.) When Cleese left after three seasons, the balance was thrown out of whack and the series trickled off the air.
Even more telling are the final three installments, focused on the troupe's three original films. Python fanatics will eat up the insider details -- Cleese's unsuccessful bid to play the lead role in "Life of Brian"; Chapman's four-pints-of-gin diet; Elvis Presley's obsession with "Holy Grail"; a scrapped scene of Jesus trying to book a room for the Last Supper, and Gilliam's meticulous approach to directing, which drove his partners to temper tantrums.
Through it all, one never doubts that the six men respected and cared for one another, but their work was never a silly walk through the park. "Holy Grail" required numerous rewrites (the troupe eventually threw out 85 percent of the original script) and 13 edits. "Life of Brian" got financed only when George Harrison mortgaged his house and office to secure the cash.
Monty Python may have looked like a romp, but it required a few fish slaps to the face. Diehard fans and newcomers alike will relish the sting.

I've been intrigued with Bonnet House ever since a water taxi guide pointed it out while we were on the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale during one of our first vacations to South Florida. From the water, the 35 acres look like a jungle, a section of property completely undeveloped and straddling the land between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic Ocean.
Somewhere in all that greenery, though, was a house — an historic house, a legendary house. The story, according to the water taxi guide — who tells tales of all the mansions along the Intracoastal — is the house was the home of two artists, Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett.
One of the banyan trees on the property.
In 1983, thirty years after Frederic's death, she gifted her little piece of paradise to the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation so future generations could see Florida the way it looked in 1931, the year she married Frederic.
In exchange, Evelyn would be allowed to live there — tax-free — until her death. The Trust, the City, the County, and the State couldn't decline such a generous gift, particularly because Mrs. Bartlett was, at the time of the gifting, already 96 years old.
Well, our dear Mrs. Bartlett, born of strong Midwest stock and possessing strong ties to New England, held onto the estate until she passed at 107 years of age — which means the government did not receive taxes on the property for 14 years.
One of the many orchids tied to trees. The small package tied to the stem is filled with orchid fertilizer, something created by the present-day caretakers. When it rains, a small bit is released to feed the plant.
The estate, though, remained a secret for Joe and me. For whatever reason, we never made a visit. In the intervening years, I had heard stories of orchids in the trees and monkeys, descendants of Mrs. Bartlett's animal collection. In my mind, I envisioned manicured lawns and formal gardens. I pictured Wonderland, an Oz in my own backyard.
Thanks to friends visiting from New York, we made actual plans to visit Bonnet House. A long driveway slices through natural, untouched land. There's a grassy parking area, and after paying the entrance fee, visitors gathered in the desert garden — a sandy area that's an oasis of succulents, cactus, and date palms.
There weren't any manicured lawns or formal gardens. This wasn't Newport, RI. This was old, pre-development, pre-Spring Break Fort Lauderdale.
The gate to the house.
When the tour guide arrived, we moved as a group to the gate. Frederic Clay Bartlett, said the guide, was already a widower when he built the house in 1921 after receiving the land as a gift from the father of his second wife, the poet Helen Louise Birch. At the time, Fort Lauderdale was a small settlement on the New River and Florida panthers roamed the barrier beaches.
At last, the guide opened the gate, and as more and more came into view — I wasn't Alice or Dorothy. Instead, I was Charlie stepping into Willy Wonka's whimsical world.
The house — simple, rustic, brightly painted — was built around an open-air courtyard. A covered colonnade keeps the sun off of guests as they walk from room to room.
The aviary in the courtyard.
Bartlett's second wife died in 1925. Soon after, he met Evelyn, the daughter of a wealthy Midwest family and the ex-wife of Eli Lilly, grandson of the founder of the Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company.
One of the ceilings under the colonnade, hand-painted by Evelyn and Frederic.
Mrs. Bartlett changed all that. She even gave the house its name in honor of the bonnet lilies that bloomed in the waterway adjacent to the main house.
No bonnet lilies blooming at the moment.
The house is most certainly a celebration of two artists who traveled, collected art (much of which the couple donated to the Art Institute of Chicago), and loved each other. Art is everywhere — and each item has meaning — which is a big reason why every effort is taken to preserve the contents of the house. There is no air conditioning and no photography (which is why my photos are of outdoor moments).
In addition to decorating the house, Mrs. Bartlett also decorated the outdoors with many varieties of orchids. One news report even said she could recount how and where every plant was found, collected, or purchased.
Which brings me to the one indoor photo I had to take — of the Orchid House. There was so much light streaming in, and I figured my camera couldn't hurt it. I also thought Mrs. Bartlett, although very private, was a gardener who knew all of the details of her plants and wouldn't mind sharing her orchids with the rest of the world.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this wondrous place with us. I'd never heard of it until today; now it's on my list of must see's.
Hi Linda. It's a very interesting place, and I couldn't believe it was in my backyard. I didn't see any of the monkeys, but I'm told they do wander the grounds. Happy travels!
You're very welcome, Mrs. P.
Oh I must see this place! It's going on my bucket list as well. Living in the midwest myself, I am so envious of all the lush tropical-ness! I adore the ceiling painted with whimsical arrowhead vine like leaves. That's something I would do. I really want to see the inside, especially since it's filled with art! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jaime. It's a must see — and the story of the Bartlett's is as fascinating as their art. Thanks for commenting!
I wonder how one goes about naming their house. Is it an official process? Either way, you've given me the idea to just start telling people the name of my house (which I need to think of now) by slipping it into conversations. Haha.
My Dear Lady C — every home should have a name. Joe and I gave our house a name, if only for us to get a few laughs. In New York, it was The Pines, because of all the — well — pines. In Florida, it's Tres Palmas — although we now have more than three around the yard. How about Chatsworth Manor?
What an interesting history! That banyan tree is gorgeous. What a fun place to visit, with all those orchids in the trees, brightly colored buildings, and artistic touches!
What a marvelous place. I imagine she would have been a treat to listen to.
What a neat place and such an interesting story of Mrs. Bartlett. She really lived to a ripe old age. Good she made that deal too on the taxes. Bet they had no idea she would live that long.
A splendid place and the orchid house is divine! Great story.

182: Benjamin Alexander: From being an international DJ to trying to make the Jamaica Olympic Ski Team. What are the odds?
Benjamin Alexander
What is Benjamin Alexander's connection to the Jamaican Olympic team? "I'm half English, half Jamaican. My father was born on the south side of the island. that's actually why this whole thing came about. The funny thing is, as a mixed-race person, half-white and half-black, whenever you're in a group of white people, you're the black guy; when you're in a group of black people, you're the white guy. So, skiing is obviously a very very white pursuit, so that means I am the token black guy in any group of friends when we're skiing. I'm also Jamaican, so then there's also this movie Cool Runnings about the Jamaican bobsled team in 1988. Everyone knows this movie so there's people always talking about Cool Runnings and Jamaican on ice. So, honestly, this whole thing just started off as a joke."
On this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, we talk with Benjamin Alexander, Expert Alpine Skiier and former international DJ. "Sometimes failing is not a failure. Sometimes failing is a pivot into something that 10 years from now you look back and realize that maybe that was the better thing that you didn't even think about because you were so focused on the first goal I don't think there's anything more positive than a human that is on a mission that they're really really pumped up and jazzed up about. When you have this thing in life that is a burning passion, it creates a better version of you."
Benjamin Alexander dives into his love for electronic dance music and how that took him all over the world. "So, I actually started DJing 20 years ago…before YouTube. I had come across this genre of music, this underground form of electronic dance music that was really only available in nightclubs, at raves, or illegal pirate radio stations in London. Because I wasn't of legal age, so I couldn't get into the night clubs or the raves, the only way for me to really recreate that experience was to buy turntables and just go out there and buy the records myself and recreate it in my bedroom. This week, actually, is the 20-year anniversary of one of the first mixtapes that I put out. It just started as a hobby. My interest in it just kind of came and went. It wasn't until I moved to Asia that I started to collect the music that was super popular at that moment."
How did Benjamin take his basement hobby and turn it into a career? "I really enjoyed performing for people. Something that I would do casually at afterparties then turned into a bit more of a serious hobby. I was invited to play at the best nightclub in Hong Kong called Club Voila. It got to the point in early 2010 where I was working 50 hours a week in the industry of finance and wealth management, and working 5 or 6 hours a week across 2 or 3 gigs in Hong Kong and Macau, and making enough money from the djing alone to scrape by but having far more fun with the djing than the suit and tie 9 to 5. I decided to take the leap of faith in just going full-time with the creative pursuit and I just wanted to see what happened. My eyes were opened to this event called Burning man and from then everything exploded and I before I knew it I was playing all over the world. I was living in Ibiza for my summers and by the time I retired from djing at the end of 2018, I had the opportunity to perform in almost 35 countries."
Where did Benjamin's creative bug find him? Or did he find the bug? "Definitely was the class clown. Definitely the trouble maker. I never thought of being a performer of any sort. When I started to collect records, I really did it out of necessity. The energy that I was listening to out of these cassette tapes that were being recorded from pirate radio was like nothing else id experienced. The only way that I could get access to this thing that had this allure, this energy that I hadn't experienced anywhere else was really just to recreate it myself. I'm an engineer by trade and I just kind of approach these problems by brute force. After a while, you find yourself in a place where without even realizing it, you're better than 95% of everyone else that's doing it. You weren't doing it with the anticipation or the expectation or the desire to be doing it on stage. You were doing it because you just loved the trade and after a while, you were just so much better than everyone else that you naturally just have to follow this through."
When did the light go off that inspired Benjamin's goal of getting to the Olympics in 2022? "In 2018, I went to the Olympics in South Korea as an attendee and I noticed that there were only 3 Jamaicans representing the entire country and I was kind of taken by surprise by that fact. We put the Cool Runnings movie on and a lightbulb kind of went off. If there's only 3 athletes representing the country of Jamaica, maybe I can be plus one when we get around to the Olympics."
What is Benjamin trying to show people about skiing and achieving their dreams in general? "The story that I'm' trying to tell here is not only that minorities can do well in winter sports, it's also that you can do really well even if you pick up something as athletic as skiing later on in your life. But it's also trying to tell that skiing doesn't have to be expensive. How many pieces of sporting equipment sit idle in a garage. If you are unafraid to just ask the people around you for help, for gear, it's incredible. I looked at a photo of all of the things I was wearing in July and every single piece of clothing that I was wearing was a gift, a hand-me-down, or something that I was sponsored. So there are ways to make this thing inexpensive?"
Heli-Skii Trip
Where did Benjamin find the inspiration to not only get into skiing but skiing at an elite level? "So, at the end of 2015, I was invited to a heli-ski trip. I had never skied before. Without embellishing the lavishness and how amazing this thing was, on one of the days, the housecats as they called us, the 8 of us that were not skiing, had the opportunity to jump into a helicopter and join the skiers on top of the hill for lunch. I got up there, and I was just blown away by the scenery by the beauty, by the remoteness of being the only people for tens of miles if not further. Then at the end of lunch, just watching all of my skiing friends hop on their skies and just disappear down the side of the mountain. It just blew my mind. From that moment, there and then I set the intention that I would not return to that place without joining the skiing contention."
Qualifying for the Olympics
During this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, Benjamin Alexander discusses his improbably rise from a 12-year-old in his room, to an international DJ, to his current pursuit to make the 2022 Olympics as a Jamaican Alpine skier. "How can it be possible that someone who just started skiing in 2016, especially someone who started skiing later in life, that he believes within 5 years he'll be able to qualify for the Olympics? The spirit of the Olympics is that you have as many nationalities represented in as many disciplines as possible. What the Olympics does to make that possible is every nation has the ability to put forward 1 b-standard athlete. What that basically, means is, if I can get myself to the level of a really good 16-year old ski racer, you know, the cookie-cutter ski racer started skiing at the age of 2 and started racing at the age of 7 and by 16, they're going to be at that level if they're good that I need to get to for me to qualify for the Olympics."

Q: Hyperlinks (with autoref) color in beamer Consider the following MWE
\documentclass[leqno]{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,allcolors=blue}
\setbeamertemplate{theorems}[numbered]

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
  \begin{theorem}
  \label{thm:a_theorem}
    \begin{equation}
      \label{eq:an_equation}
      2 + 2 = 4
    \end{equation}
  \end{theorem}

Equation \ref{eq:an_equation} belongs to \ref{thm:a_theorem}.\\
Equation \eqref{eq:an_equation} belongs to \ref{thm:a_theorem}.\\
Equation \autoref{eq:an_equation} belongs to \autoref{thm:a_theorem}.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I want i) the parentheses around equation number to be part of the hyperlink (and hence also be highlighted in blue) and ii) get \autoref to work (and hence obtain Equation (1) belongs to Theorem (1) with (1) in Theorem (1) also highlighted in blue).

Edit: Consider the following MWE which incorporates the suggested solution in the unique answer to this question:
\documentclass[leqno]{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,allcolors=blue}
\setbeamertemplate{theorems}[numbered]

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
  Foo
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
  \phantomsection
  \begin{theorem}
  \label{thm:a_theorem}
  Bar
  \end{theorem}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
  \phantomsection
  \begin{equation}
    \label{eq:an_equation}
    2 + 2 = 4
  \end{equation}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
  \hyperref[eq:an_equation]{Equation (\ref*{eq:an_equation})} belongs
  to \hyperref[thm:a_theorem]{Theorem \ref*{thm:a_theorem}}.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

The hyperlinks always point to the first frame and not to the corresponding equation or theorem.

A: Class beamer loads hyperref with option implicit=false. That means that the loading of hyperref is stopped earlier and important parts are not loaded. Thus the equations do not even generate anchors. Without anchor no link (at least not to the place, where it should go), without anchor name no \autoref.
The workaround consists of two parts:

*

*Anchors are set with \phantomsection. The anchor names does not matter anyway,
because \autoref is just a stub for \ref with the beamer settings.
However, also \phantomsection is a dummy, an empty macro, therefore the example defines a \phantomtarget, which sets an anchor using \hypertarget.

*\hyperref with optional argument is used to replace the plain reference number by the longer phrase with name and number, both inside the link. \ref* with star prevents an unnecessary nested link.

Full example:
\documentclass[leqno]{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,allcolors=blue}
\setbeamertemplate{theorems}[numbered]

\makeatletter
\newcounter{phantomtarget}
\renewcommand*{\thephantomtarget}{phantom.\the\value{phantomtarget}}
\newcommand*{\phantomtarget}{%
  \stepcounter{phantomtarget}%
  \hypertarget{\thephantomtarget}{}%
  \edef\@currentHref{\thephantomtarget}%
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
  \phantomtarget
  \begin{theorem}
  \label{thm:a_theorem}
  \phantomtarget
    \begin{equation}
      \label{eq:an_equation}
      2 + 2 = 4
    \end{equation}
  \end{theorem}

\hyperref[eq:an_equation]{Equation (\ref*{eq:an_equation})} belongs
to \hyperref[thm:a_theorem]{Theorem \ref*{thm:a_theorem}}.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Smartphones Just Became Historic: Apple Helped
By James Mowery
For years there has been a subtle feeling throughout the tech industry that smart phones would eventually overtake personal computer sales. Well, things have reached a climax, because the inevitable happened — smart phones have outsold PCs. And it's a pretty big deal.
For the first time ever, smart phones have outsold PCs in the fourth quarter of 2010 — mobile venders shipped 100.9 million smart phones (up 87.2% from '09) while PC vendors shipped 92.075 million personal computers (up 2.7% from '09) throughout the quarter. It's a landmark event that will surely go down in the history books. This is the time when the idea of computing will change forever.
Things in the mobile computing industry move fast, and if you can't keep up (talking to you, Microsoft, Palm, Nokia, and Research In Motion), you are going to get left behind. The PC industry is learning this the hard way.
Although it might disappoint Apple fans, Android has been the x-factor of this whole ordeal:
"Android continues to gain by leaps and bounds, helping to drive the smartphone market," said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC's Mobile Phone Technology and Trends team. "It has become the cornerstone of multiple vendors' smartphone strategies, and has quickly become a challenger to market leader Symbian. Although Symbian has the backing of market leader Nokia, Android has multiple vendors, including HTC, LG Electronics, Motorola, Samsung and a growing list of companies deploying Android on their devices."
But what is truly impressive is how fast we've got here. Mary Meeker, former Morgan Stanley analyst, had previously predicted that this exchange of control would occur in 2012. But she was wrong, as were many others.
The Decline of PCs
The sign that things were getting serious about mobile computing was the development of the netbook computer. ASUS was the biggest proponent of the netbook, with the Asus EEE PC being the first device to go mainstream (correct me if I'm wrong). It was supposed to be the answer to the smart phone.
Things were looking good at first. Netbook sales showed promise during holiday shopping seasons, especially when these devices reached a sub-$300 price. But the success was only temporary.
Interest in the netbook computers soon waned. These netbook computers were cheap and slow, and they were struggling to keep up with the demands — ever try playing an HD video on YouTube on a netbook? Better value could be had with more traditional computers and laptops. But once the economy started suffering, it seemed like nothing could help restore interest. But as bad as it was, these guys didn't know what Steve Jobs and Apple had in store. It was about to make their jobs far worse.
Apple completely demolished the hopes and dreams of most PC manufacturers with the announcement of the iPad. Apple's device represented a shift in personal computing. The company, along with the iPad, made the statement that personal computing can be portable and can be without the keyboard and mouse. And people have obviously bought into it.
Now, every PC manufacturer — other than Apple — is quick to blame the iPad for their declining sales. But it didn't start with the iPad. It began with the iPhone and the always-on mentality of today's consumers.
We now live in a world where it is the norm to check your Twitter constantly, update your Facebook account regularly, and text people frequently. The ability to do this requires that you have a personal computing device with you at all time. Of course, hauling around your laptop isn't exactly the most pleasurable thing to do, so there was another solution.
Enter the iPhone. It was revolutionary in that it gave people a way to access third-party content easily and without hassle. It also gave developers a way to create applications for those phones easily, and it all compounded this need-to-know state of being that we currently experience. This device really set everything in motion.
Other platforms followed: Android, webOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, MeeGo, and more. They are happy to oblige consumers' demands, with some doing a better job than others. But now it seems as if the even mentioning a Windows or Mac computer is just… well… old school. Few people really expect huge developments from the traditional PC platforms, and for good reason, too; personal computers no longer meet the needs of consumers.
In fact, I know several friends who have forgone the purchase of desktop/notebook computers and Internet connections — all they use are their smart phones for entertainment, communication, and work-related tasks. A few years ago that would have been crazy.
But now we all can possess the power of a computer in our hands — some of which are more powerful than traditional PCs of only a few years ago — and people should realize that we are currently living the future we always dreamed about. And we are living in some of the greatest times of technological history; in fact, we are the lucky few who are making history by being some of the first people to use these gizmos. It is something truly worth appreciating.
Future Impacts
So where do we go from here? Well, we keep going. We will be more mobile than ever before, and the traditional PC market will continue to decline heavily of the next few years. Those companies that keep their eggs in selling desktop and notebook computers will be the ones to fail first — companies like Compaq, Samsung, Sony, and more will be the first to get left behind. Apple, on the other hand, will continue to keep the ball rolling. The iPad 2 is allegedly in production and the iPad 3 is already being discussed.
Microsoft will be the biggest loser of the bunch at this rate. It is already loosing support from its third-party manufacturers — most of them have decided that mobile is the future and are investing in creating their own mobile operating systems, particularly for tablet computers. Research In Motion (with PlayBook) HP (with webOS) and other manufacturers (with Android), are all forging ahead, and none of these companies — as John Gruber points out — has bothered with Microsoft's technologies.
On the flip side, tablet computers and smart phones will be on the rise. Apple seems to be in prime condition to continue to lead the mobile computing revolution, as they have done for years. Other manufacturers will follow suit. But one thing is for sure: the mobile computing space is probably going to get crowded really fast, and not everyone is going to make it out alive.
In the end, it will be exciting to keep an eye on the next year or two to see how this all pans out. But until then, enjoy your smart phone! We are only beginning to see what power these devices can possess. And it is sure to get even more interesting very soon.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a common complication of cirrhosis; its diagnosis and implications remain unknown in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LTx).
Methods: Out of 197 patients who underwent LTx in 2016-2017, 146 patients had abdominal CT scans 6 months prior to LTx. Preoperative sarcopenia was assessed by measuring the right and left psoas muscle area via transverse CT sections at the third lumbar vertebra level. Average psoas mass index (PMI, cm2/m2) was reported. One intraoperative death was excluded. Nominal logistic regression was used to determine the risk factors associated with prolong mechanical ventilation. Patients in the lowest median PMI, stratified by gender, were deemed sarcopenic.
Results: The median duration of mechanical ventilation post LTx was 20 (1-902) hours. The median MELD score was 26 (6-52), with a MELD score> 30 in 39% (56/145) of the patients. More than half (54% (79/145)) of the patients were extubated within first 24 h, while 84% (122/145) were extubated within 72 hours. Patients with mechanical ventilation duration >24 h had a statistically significant decrease in 1-year survival: 86% (57/66) versus 95% (77/79) for ≤ 24h (χ2=6.3, P=0.0119). Multivariable analysis identified that pre-transplant hospitalization (χ2=23.9, P<0.0001), presence of TIPS (χ2=5.7, P=0.0167), donor risk index (χ2=4.2, P=0.0396) and low PMI (χ2=3.8, P=0.0486) were statistically significant risk factors for prolong mechanical ventilation>24h (χ2=47, P<0.0001). A C-index statistic of 0.80 was calculated for this group of risk factors. A PMI < 2.93 cm2/m2 was found in 50% (43/86) of men and a PMI <2.29 cm2/m2 was found in 49% (29/59) of woman. For men there is statistically increased risk of mechanical ventilation > 24 hours for PMI < 2.93 cm2/m2 of 56% (24/43) versus 28% (12/43) for PMI ≥ 2.93 cm2/m2 (χ2=6.9, P=0.0087). However for woman the risk of mechanical ventilation for PMI <2.29 cm2/m2 was not statistically different: 47% (14/30) versus 55% (16/29) for PMI ≥ 2.29 cm2/m2 (χ2=0.47, P=0.5135).
Conclusion: In present study, we revealed that low PMI in men is a predictive factor for mechanical ventilation>24h in patients undergoing LTx, along with other risk factors such us pre-transplant hospitalization, TIPS and quality of donor graft.

The phone came from the store with oreo 8.0 .
I installed the first system update, which upgraded the phone to oreo 8.1 a month ago. This update was fine and everything ran smoothly.
I have just installed a new update yesterday (November 2, 2018), and it's terrible, so slow. You can no longer slide windows smoothly even in high performance mode, and it's practically unusable in battery saving mode.
Really you should test the devices with updates before you force people to install them!!!
I was better off without the update. You should allow people with lower spec phones to opt out of these updates, or rollback.
If this is not fixed in the next update I will have to buy another phone, and it won't be Nokia!
Same problem too.Very slow with freeze moments in Watsupp and Facebook.
Just do a factory reset and problem should be fixed.
Is the only fix to reset and then not update?


Москва Дегунино Западное Купить закладку кокаин амфетамин гашиш ск мдма Cosmopolitan language & culture immersion, or Падуя Купить закладку кокаин амфетамин гашиш ск мдма Deep Immersion, originates from a method of teaching a second language in which the learners' second language (L2) is the medium of instruction or, more broadly, of social exchanges. Learners may study school subjects, such as math, science, and social studies, or they may act in an environment prepared for transcultural and translinguistic experiences in their L2 like a World Language Village. Deep immersion may apply to any language. The main purpose is to foster bilingualism, sensitivity to other cultures and an opening to the perception of being a world citizen. Being immersed in another linguistic and cultural environment develops learners'communicative competence or language proficiency in their L2 in addition to their first or native language (L1). Additional goals are the cognitive advantages to bilingualism and increased sensitivity to and understanding of other cultures.
Immersion programs vary from one state or region to another because of historical antecedents, language status and ideology, public opinion orlanguage policy. Immersion programs take on different formats based on: class time spent in L2, participation by native speaking (L1) students, learner age, school subjects taught in L2, and even the L2 itself as an additional and separate subject.

Ana Roš awarded the title of UNWTO Ambassador for Gastronomy Tourism
The presentation of Slovenia took place today as part of the special visit of Hiša Franko to Madrid. On this occassion, Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organisation, awarded Ana Roš the title of UNWTO Ambassador for Gastronomy Tourism.
The event was organised by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Madrid, the Slovenian Tourist Board (STB) and the Government Communication Office (UKOM).
Slovenia continues to be in the spotlight as a destination of supreme gastronomy. Last week, the news about the arrival of the acclaimed Michelin gastronomic guide to Slovenia in 2020 and the revelation of the top Slovenian restaurants and chefs of the Gault & Millau culinary guide for 2020 hit the headlines and today, Ana Roš, who was also proclaimed the Chef of 2020 by Gault & Millau, was awarded the title of UNWTO Ambassador for Gastronomy Tourism.
The whole team of Hiša Franko is currently in Madrid at the In Residence event, which is annually organised annually by the Mateo & Co culinary consulting agency. The aim is to present renowned Spanish and international restaurants at a unique culinary pop-up experience in the capital of Spain, Madrid. This year, top chef Ana Roš and Hiša Franko were selected.
Hiša Franko has moved to Hotel NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding for almost three weeks. From 19 November to 7 December 2019, a unique culinary experience for more than 650 visitors will be provided here. Not only did the entire team of Hiša Franko move to Madrid, the architects recreated the look of the Kobarid restaurant at the hotel to give visitors the best possible authentic experience.
As part of the residency of Hiša Franko in Madrid and together with the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Madrid and the UKOM, the STB organised a special event to introduce Slovenia as a destination of supreme five-star culinary experiences. Selected guests from the business sphere, tourism, culture and sports were able to take a look at the new promotional video about Slovenia, Green Slovenia, and taste the dishes prepared by top chef Ana Roš.
At the invitation of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Madrid, the event was also attended by Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organisation, who awarded Ana Roš the title of UNWTO Ambassador for Gastronomy Tourism.
On the basis of local and seasonal high-quality ingredients, unique culinary creations come to life in Hiša Franko in Kobarid from the hands of top Slovenian chef Ana Roš, which excite gastronomic critics, foodies and culinary media representatives. Roš swears by the philosophy "from farm to table". If she does not produce the ingredients in her own herb and vegetable garden, she gets them from local suppliers. She loves combining traditional local dishes with modern cooking methods.
When Ana received the awarded, she highlighted: "There comes a time in life when you have to accept awards and titles and be proud of them. I consider this particular title to be a kind of a guide to what Slovenian gastronomy, or any other similarly ambitious activity, can achieve. Achieving goals means that you need to give up on a lot of things, sometimes you have to ask yourself if you are on the right track, and when you reach the peak, you have to want to go even further and work even harder for it. I am proud of the entire team of Hiša Franko – this title belongs to all of us. For me, being an ambassador is not a reward, but an incentive to remain a good example to all those who do not dare to believe in their own success and need a slight encouragement to become a better of themselves."
Gastronomy contributes greatly to increasing the interest of the global public in Slovenia, particularly of global media, ever since Ana Roš was featured in Netflix's Chef's Table and pronounced World's Best Female Chef 2017.
Msc. Maja Pak, Director of the Slovenian Tourist Board: "Slovenia is becoming a recognised and desired foodie destination. Exceptional chefs such as Ana Roš take great credit for this since they represent Slovenia in unique and personalised culinary stories. Roš is one of the most outstanding chefs in Slovenia and globally with the prestigious title of the World's Best Female Chef. Her restaurant is placed at the very top of best restaurants and she has also become the Gault & Millau Slovenia Chef of the Year 2020. Sincere congratulations to Ana Roš for the distinguished title of UNWTO Ambassador for Gastronomy Tourism, which once again confirms the exceptional knowledge, creativity and dedication with which she creates gastronomic experiences that contribute significantly to Slovenia's recognisability as a superb gastronomic destination."
Msc. Maja Pak further highlighted that Slovenia is becoming recognised as a destination of unique and authentic culinary experiences with great potential for further growth. Together with the renowned and recognised chefs and other stakeholders, the STB showcases the country in the most important emitting markets for Slovenian tourism as the holder of the title of the European Region of Gastronomy 2021, the destination highlighted by the acclaimed Michelin and Gault & Millau, and as a destination of boutique five-star gastronomic experiences. In accordance with the great significance attributed to gastronomy by the 2017–2021 Strategy for the Sustainable Growth of Slovenian Tourism and as per the objectives of the Action Plan for the Development and Marketing of Slovenia's Gastronomy 2019–2023, gastronomy is also the central development and promotional theme of the STO in 2020 and 2021.
Msc. Renata Cvelbar Bek, Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia to Spain and the Representative to the World Tourism Organisation: "The successes of, and accolades to, Ana Roš are the result of immense talent and complete dedication to perfect every dish. Her cuisine represents dedication to sustainability which is also typical of Slovenia and Slovenian tourism. We rely on sustainable tourism that is based on the abundance of green nature in our country. Tourism and gastronomy go hand in hand, which is why we strive to enhance and promote cuisine that is based on locally produced ingredients. It is not a coincidence that Roš is one of the leading advocates of such cuisine. But it is a pleasant coincidence that her visit to Madrid coincides with COP25."
Msc. Kristina Plavšak Krajnc, Director of the Government Communication Office: "Gastronomy is certainly a field in which Slovenia is an undiscovered gem, and food is known to be one of the oldest and most powerful ways of communicating and connecting people. We are sometimes surprised that in such a small geographical area we can pride ourselves on homemade cheese from Alpine farms as well as homemade olive oil from the Mediterranean and Karst regions. The saying goes that the way to a person's heart is through their stomach, while the word love is actually integrated in our national brand, I feel sLOVEnia."
During Hiša Franko's residence in Madrid, an exhibition of photographs by Ana Roš with the motifs of green Slovenia will also be on display at the hotel. Every guest attending one of the dinners will receive the new STB publication, Taste Slovenia.

The student activity center at Dodge City Community College. (Dodge City Community College)
College upgrades gymnasium to Monolithic Dome
Stewart Ulrich • Published February 3, 2017 3:30pm • News
A Monolithic Dome was the perfect fit for one community college in Kansas.
Dodge City Community College in Dodge City, Kansas needed a new activity center. Their previous gymnasium had several deficiencies and needed to be upgraded. There was no seating in that building, among other problems.
A Monolithic Dome became a reality after learning FEMA would help with funding. Officials took a visit to Fowler, Kansas where a dome is used as a gymnasium. The Dodge City Community College Foundation took the initiative for the center and financing was secured through the city.
The new center is a step up for the college and serves as the campus wellness center. Amenities include basketball and volleyball courts, jogging track, locker rooms, classrooms, practice courts, ticket office, and concession stand. Best of all, bleachers in the gym provide seating for up to 1,500 spectators.
Construction started in 2014 and was completed in September 2016, making it a 16 month project. The dome has a diameter of 170 feet, giving the structure 39,220 square feet of usable space. The total cost of the project was $7.6 million. South Industries built built the Monolithic Dome. Building Solutions L.L.C. served as the general contractor and completed the rest of the structure.
Not only serving as the activity center, it also doubles as a FEMA-approved community shelter in the event of a storm. Recently the center was able to live up to its use as a community storm shelter. During the ice storm that affected the central United States in January 2017, many residents were without power for several days. The Red Cross, Salvation Army, and the National Guard came to the center and set up operations.
Brian Marshall, CEO of Building Solutions, stated that these organizations "set up and used it as a shelter. People without electricity were allowed to come in, take a shower, and have a place." This is the first opportunity for the center to be used as a community storm shelter since it was built.
To help others looking to build a similar building and for public curiosity, Dodge City officials have tentatively scheduled an open house for June. "We've had quite a bit of interest here," Marshall said. "So hopefully more like this will be built."
Founded in 1935, Dodge City Community College (often referred to as DC3) currently has 2,100 students enrolled. Those students are served with approximately 32 academic programs and 17 athletic programs.
Enjoy the video below from Building Solutions, which shows the process of construction.

A Monolithic Dome Home with Brick Walls!
At one time, Joel Emerson, a professional, creative brick mason, jokingly told Debbie, his wife, that someday he would build her a brick igloo. In the years that followed, Joel learned about Monolithic Domes, and in 2003 he attended a Monolithic Workshop. So what started as a casual joke became a serious project – with a little modification: Joel's original brick igloo became a Monolithic Dome enhanced with brick.
Why a Monolithic Dome Fertilizer Blend Plant?
What's a fertilizer blend plant's number-one enemy? Moisture! If water gets into or condensation forms inside a storage unit, it quite quickly begins degrading the fertilizer and forming rust. But Monolithic uses a technology that keeps that troublesome process to a minimum.

According to etoro's platform, one doesn't need to be a professional or undergo a special training in stock or forex trading in order to venture in trading with guaranteed gains. It is called tapping in the wisdom of other traders, just like sitting on the passenger seat with full trust in getting to your destination based on the skill of the driver.
With the etoro's copytrader feature, even a novice can trade by just simply copying the trades of those traders who have mastered the game and having vetted them according to their reliable trading history as seen in their openbook.

A part from the gains to be derived from the trades, the traders have the opportunity to earn $100 dollars for every referral that they invite to the site as well as a bonus for those traders who qualify as the popular investor; this is based on the number of the copiers who are following the trader.
Be warned! As much as there is unlimited potential in online trading, there also exists a very high risk of making high losses due to the leverage applied by the traders on the platform where a trader can end up losing more than the amount of money invested if he doesn't act first to arrest the situation when the market goes the wrong way.
It is advisable to take the time and gauge the traders well before investing your money in their trades. You can also begin by trading in practice mode using the virtual funds that are free to use before you get the hang of it and interest to trade with real money.
I seen it before but you have little or no control over your money.
You as a member remain the decider as for which kind of instruments to invest in, although there are some fees involved in the trades executed.
This is the most reliable trading way that even a novice can be sure of a gain, tapping in the skills of other traders.

The unfolding events in the Arab world are not simply about finding a path to democracy and political openness, but a maze of sectarian tensions and regional power-plays. There is widespread consensus that the opening up of the political space will benefit Islamist forces.
At al-Jazeera's Doha newsroom, employees are reminded that the channel must show 'the opinion and the opposite opinion'. Arab governments are not amused, and many have closed its bases in their territories. Yet Foxtel and other major providers in Australia and the US still decline to carry al-Jazeera.


During special occasions, your loved one deserves a special gift. A gift is special if personalized to the preference and taste of your recipient. While you can always give a bottle of wine, gift basket or a gift card, you want to give something that connects with your loved one. Everyone appreciates a gift that you put some effort into. They will like the thought and ingenuity that comes with personalized gifts.
If you are thinking about the perfect gift for a loved one, consider giving a piece of personalized jewellery. Your recipient will appreciate the personal touch you put into the gift. Whoever sees the gift will want to know where you got the nice piece and your loved one will wear it with great joy. With personalized jewellery, you have endless options and opportunities to express how you feel for the person.
A simple necklace can be personalized by engraving the recipient's name on it. You can choose from various materials for the jewellery such as gold, silver, or synthetic materials. You just need to look for a reputable jeweller that can do this job for you. Also, check out the perfect jewellery gift from a range of top brands and make your choice based on your preference or your recipient's.
If you want to limit your choice of material to just gold, you can pick from yellow or white gold. But, if your budget is tight, you can consider brass as it looks similar to gold. Silver is subtle and tends to go with everything. If you want to come up with a piece of jewellery that has a playful look, select one from many colors. No matter your budget, there is always an option for you. The beautifully-created piece will be placed in a stylish jewellery box.
Although you might want to give a personalized piece of jewellery to a special person in your life, you can also give it to yourself. You don't have to wait for somebody to give one to you. You can always order a special piece from your jeweller that marks your own personality and some special events in your life. For instance, you can order personalized jewellery that bears your child's birthday or your wedding anniversary. This allows you to carry those special days with you.

"Kids who grew up with Tommy Pickles and the 'Rugrats' crew will now be able to share that experience with their own children," Paramount Pictures President Brian Robbins added.
"Rugrats" originally premiered on Nickelodeon back in 1991, had three feature film spin-offs and a tween-centric animated series called "All Grown Up!," which ran from 2003 to 2008.

Kia Motors is expanding its Leicestershire presence following a deal led by East Midlands-based Nelsons Solicitors.
Family-run franchise Kia Loughborough is opening a second showroom in Belton Road, following the success of its site in Leicester Road, which launched 2003.
The Mountsorrel branch will continue to run independently as a used car sales operation, while the new Loughborough sites is expected to open in June after renovations have taken place.
The former Citroen dealership has a 3,200 sq ft showroom and a workshop with six bays.
Oli Johnson, operations director at Kia Loughborough, said: "The dealership in Mountsorrel has been huge success – we've seen a real increase in sales recently, which we believe is down to Kia being such a fantastic product, as well as providing high levels of care to our customers.
"Because of this, we've been looking for a new site for over a year now.
Watch this space: Kia Loughborough is opening its second showroom in Belton Road
"Our new branch in Loughborough was previously a Citroen dealership, which closed at the end of 2017.
"It's located between Volkswagen and Mercedes so it places us in good company.
"We're also really happy to announce that the move will be creating numerous jobs in Loughborough too.
"We're a small family business and we've been growing organically with the brand since 2003.
"We have been recognised by Kia globally for our outstanding customer service and are confident this, as well as the Kia name, will make us stand out among the car dealerships in Loughborough."
Riaz Dudhia, head of Nelsons' commercial property department, led the deal, acting on behalf of the buyers and their investors in purchasing the property.
He said: "It has been a pleasure acting on behalf of Kia Loughborough, a father and son duo who have built up such a successful franchise of the car brand in Leicestershire.
Leicester station could be 'spun around' to create space for bars, restaurants and shops
"Being part of a transaction that will make such a prominent impact for a local, family-run business has provided us here at Nelsons a great sense of pride.

"Multiple parties were involved in the deal, which made co-ordinating and completing the purchase to the desired timescale a challenge.
"However, with hard work and regular communication with our client, we were able to complete the purchase to all parties' satisfaction."

The risk of national power interruptions continues to exist well into 2019. Homeowners should keep a watchful eye on Eskom's load shedding schedule and follow the power utility's social media feeds for any announcements so that plans can be made if a blackout has been scheduled for your area.
To avoid any unfortunate appliance failures, it is advisable to unplug all appliances to protect against any electric surges caused by the power being reactivated. Even if no load shedding is scheduled for your area on a given day, it is advisable to unplug your appliances in case the utility announces one and you are unable to get home in time.
To avoid being locked out of your own home, make sure to carry the spare manual override keys for your electric gates and garage doors whenever you leave the house. You might also want to purchase a glow-in-the-dark key ring to put on your keys so that you're able to find them if your power gets cut in the evening.
These are a few of the items you're going to want to stock up on so that you're able to endure the time you have to spend in the dark. These days, we all keep a torch in our back pocket in the form of our mobile devices. However, in case your device happens to be running low on battery power, it is advisable to have a torch in an easily accessible part of your home.
If you're able to get home before the electric cuts out, make a flask of boiling water so that you're able to enjoy a hot beverage while you wait for the power to return. You should also stock up on snacks or foods that do not require any re-heating or cooking, like sandwiches or salads. If you've got any foods that could spoil, you could freeze a few bottles of water and keep these in your fridge or freezer to keep things cool.


California is the only state in the nation with independent professional judges dedicated to ruling on attorney discipline cases.
The State Bar of California investigates complaints of attorney misconduct. If the State Bar determines that an attorney's actions involve probable misconduct, formal charges are filed with the State Bar Court by the bar's prosecutors (Office of Chief Trial Counsel).
The independent State Bar Court hears the charges and has the power to recommend that the California Supreme Court suspend or disbar attorneys found to have committed acts of professional misconduct or convicted of serious crimes.
For lesser offenses, public or private reprovals may be issued by the State Bar Court.
Also, it can temporarily remove lawyers from the practice of law when they are deemed to pose a substantial threat of harm to clients or the public.
Lawyers may seek review of State Bar Court decisions in the California Supreme Court.
The State Bar Court conducts hearings and makes decisions and formal recommendations on disciplinary matters.
Since 1989, the court has used full-time judges appointed by the California Supreme Court, legislature and governor. The court is divided into two departments — a Hearing Department and a Review Department, headed by a presiding judge.
The Hearing Department is the trial level of the State Bar Court. Five full-time judicial positions are split between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Supreme Court appoints two of the hearing judges, while the Governor, the Speaker of the Assembly and the Senate Committee on Rules appoints one hearing judge each.
California attorneys who have allegedly violated the State Bar Act and/or the Rules of Professional Conduct.
regulatory proceedings, such as moral character admissions matters, reinstatement petitions, arbitration enforcement proceedings, etc., that are filed in the State Bar Court.
The Review Department is the appellate level of the State Bar Court, consisting of the presiding judge and two other review judges. All review judges are appointed by the Supreme Court.
review and decide or make recommendations to the Supreme Court in cases which one or both of the parties have sought review of a hearing judge's decision.
exercise temporary suspension and other powers delegated to it by the Supreme Court according to rule 9.10, California Rules of Court.
conduct discretionary interlocutory review on issues materially affecting the outcome of Hearing Department cases.

FX's 'Fargo' Series Stars Bob Odenkirk, Glenn Howerton, and Everyone Else You Love
We were on board when we found out Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, and Colin Hanks would be starring in FX's limited series, Fargo, a reboot of the 1996 Oscar-nominated film from the Coen brothers. But now, FX is giving us no choice but to sit in front of our television screens impatiently until next spring, when we can finally see the series bow. Because the network just announced via press release that Fargo will also star Bob Odenkirk, Kate Walsh, Oliver Platt, and Glenn Howerton. That's right: Breaking Bad's Odenkirk, Private Practice's Walsh, X-Men's Platt, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Howerton. It really is the television equivalent of an ice cream-filled pannekoeken, ya?
Though the series is not a shot-for-shot remake of the series, it will still focus on a crime, complete with "the trademark humor, murder and 'Minnesota nice'" from the original movie, according to the press release. As for what the lovely people above will play in the series? Odenkirk has been tapped as a deputy (a far cry from his crime-ridden Saul); Platt will portray "the Supermarket King of Minnesota" (paging "The Wiz"!); Walsh will play a former stripper and mother; and Howerton has been tapped to play a personal trailer. Which is perfect, because:
So, you ask, are we excited for Fargo? What more can we say than: You betcha!

PREMIER League side Bolton Wanderers have agreed to come to Nantwich Town for a pre-season friendly this summer.
The Trotters, FA Cup semi-finalists this season, will be at the Weaver Stadium on Tuesday, July 26 for a warm-up game.
Nantwich manager Jimmy Quinn says he knows Bolton boss Owen Coyle from his playing days and used the contact to bag the fixture.
Quinn said: "It will be good to see Owen again. He did a fantastic job at Burnley, and now he's doing the same at Bolton.
"They know how good our facilities are at Nantwich and have assured us they will bring a strong side.
Details of other pre-season friendlies will be announced once they have been confirmed.
Meanwhile, the Dabbers are on the lookout for the next generations of players to represent the club.
A series of trial matches have been organised to take place this month, with budding footballers aged eight-12 being encouraged to take part.
All trials are on the 3G pitch at the Weaver Stadium.
Under 9s have the chance to impress between 6-7pm on Tuesdays. U10s and U11s are in action between 6-7.30pm on Wednesdays.
U12s wishing to play for Nantwich next term can call Nigel Ascroft on 07922 077111. U15s call Gareth Duerden on 07905 055585 and U17s call Lyndon Wain on 07825 418259.
The club is also running an Easter Soccer Club for boys and girls aged five-11 during the half-term break.
Manager Quinn will take charge of the sessions, from May 31 to June 3.

REVRY Premieres Original Cooking Series with Renowned Gay Chef
On May 21st, global LGBTQ+ streaming network, Revry, is thrilled to inspire your tastebuds with its newest Original series Jonathan's Kitchen: Seasons to Taste, a tantalizing 8-episode cooking show with gay storyteller, cook and author Jonathan Bardzik.
Bardzik is the author of three cookbooks including Seasons to Taste: Farm-Fresh Joy for Kitchen and Table (Story Farm & Tarnów Entertainment), which is the inspiration for this fresh new cooking show. With even fresher ingredients, Bardzik shares seasonally-inspired recipes and the people they bring together, including Central Farm Markets group and MeatCrafters owner Debbie Moser; and award-winning, best-selling author, chef, television personality and Mediterranean diet advocate Amy Riolo. Bardzik even charms with his own parents, and his husband, Jason, as guests! The show takes viewers through recipes and techniques accessible to beginners and innovative enough for experienced home cooks.
"Jonathan's exuberant passion is infectious," says Damian Pelliccione, CEO and Co-Founder of Revry. "He is a force of nature and as a gay married chef, we knew his talents would connect with our audience. We're thrilled to champion his delicious gifts!"
The big hearted Bardzik opens each episode by sharing, "I believe life can and should be lived with joy, and I find that each day by preparing a simple meal, setting a table and sharing it with the people I love. And I want to share it with you." He is self-taught and got his start cooking professionally 10 years ago performing in front of live audiences offering weekend demos at historic Eastern Market in Washington, DC where he shares a home with his husband.
"It's been a joy watching Jonathan bring his TV show concept to life. He really wanted it to be a joyful show and celebrate community, family and friends." said Executive Producer Richard G Jones. "The outcome is like a buffet for the soul, that will uplift anyone who watches it."
Jonathan grew up eating fresh food from his parents' garden and learning about farming and plants from his father who holds a PhD in plant and soil science. Jonathan combines experience from his family's garden center business, an MBA degree and 11 years working in marketing for a national trade association to share food and cooking stories that offer his audiences a unique perspective in the kitchen.
He has cooked with more than 900 audiences, which has earned him coverage from the Washington Post, USA Today, and Food Network Magazine, and regular appearances on the Washington, DC area's ABC, CBS and Fox morning news shows. It has also earned him a place on the TedX stage.
Jonathan's Kitchen world premieres on Revry May 21 at 4pm PST / 7pm EST and is then available anytime on demand at Revry.tv. The show is produced by Parrlime Productions & Tarnów Entertainment and directed by Jonathan Bardzik.
Jonathan's Kitchen: Seasons to Taste sponsors include Central Farm Markets, Five Ways Forward LLC, All-America Selections, Red Bear Craft Brewery, and Seasons Olive Oil & Vinegar Tap Room.

How to Make Money from LGBTQ Blogging


VOCATIO IN JUS, Roman civ. law. According to the practice in the legis actiones of the Roman law, a person having a demand against another, verbally cited him to go with him to the praetor in jus eamus. In jus te voco. This was denominated vocatio in jus. If a person thus summoned refused to go, he could be compelled by force to do so unless he found a vindex, that is, a procurator or a person to undertake his cause. When the parties appeared before the praetor, they went through the particular formalities required by the action applicable to the cause. If the cause was not ended the same day, the parties promised to appear again at another day, which was called vadimonium. See Math. V. 25.

Q: Binomial interrupting series substitution I have a function $S(n) = \int_0^{2\pi} \sin^{2n}(x) dx$ and it's in this expression that I'd like to simplify ($a$ is a constant):
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \binom{1/2}{n} a^n S(n)$$
I've found a nice closed form for the following, and I was wondering if/how I could use this closed form considering the binomial is in the way.
$$f(t) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} t^n S(n)$$
Anything would help! I can also go into more detail on the functions if necessary :)

A: Use $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} {1/2 \choose k} z^k=\sqrt{1+z}-1.$$
to write $$F=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sum_{k=1}^{n}{1/2 \choose k} a^k \sin^{2k} x dx= \int_{0}^{2\pi} [\sqrt{1+a\sin^2x}-1]~ dx=4 E(-a)-2\pi.$$
$E(-a)$ is the elliptic integral.

A: Being lazy, I had a look at the "Table of Integrals, Series and Products" (seventh edition) by I.S. Gradshteyn and I.M. Ryzhik. Adapting equation $3.661.2$ to your case ($a=1$ and $b=0$), we have
$$S_n= \int_0^{2\pi} \sin^{2n}(x)\, dx=2 \pi\frac{  (2 n-1)\text{!!}}{(2 n)\text{!!}}=2\sqrt{\pi }\frac{  \Gamma
   \left(n+\frac{1}{2}\right)}{\Gamma (n+1)}$$ To make the story short, this gives the nice closed form expression you did find.
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty  \binom{\frac{1}{2}}{n}a^n\,S_n=4E(-a)-2\pi$$  However
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a^n S_n=\frac{2 \pi }{\sqrt{1-a}}-2 \pi$$ Beside the $2\pi$, I do not see what they could have in common.

Thousands of animals in disaster-struck Sulawesi need help, says group
@ascorrespondent

AN international conservation group says thousands of animals are in urgent need of help in the Indonesian city struck by an earthquake and tsunami last Friday.
World Animal Protection said the animals included cattle, pigs, dogs and cat which were struggling to survive after the disasters struck Palu city, Sulawesi last week with many residents in the area dependent on animals for their livelihoods.
Naritsorn Pholperm, Disaster Response Manager at World Animal Protection said an immediate assessment of the situation was needed.

"Seeing the impact of the tsunami here is devastating. Right now, our work is to help those animals in dire need; injured, without food or water and at high risk of disease. Our aim is to help those who are in shelters first and, once safe to do so, race to those who have been left behind," he said, as quoted by the Scoop.
"Local communities who survived this catastrophe will only suffer more, if they have no animals or livestock to help them long after the aid has gone, for their livelihoods, transport and food."
While disaster response rightly prioritizes people's immediate needs, the long-term recovery from disasters is inextricably linked with the well-being of their animals, he said.

"Communities in this area heavily rely on agriculture to make ends meet and in this critical stage, saving animals affected by the tsunami will provide stability for their future."
He said the organisation heading Palu City with a team of veterinarians to immediately assist and treat the animals that may either be wounded or impacted with diseases like diarrhoea and pneumonia.
The small city of 370,000 people has been the focus of the aid effort launched after last Friday's 7.5 magnitude earthquake and tsunami.

Electricity was restored and some shops reopened in Palu on Thursday, but the fate of many thousands of people in outlying districts was unknown nearly a week after the disaster struck, according to Reuters.
International help in searching for survivors has gathered pace, but communities in more remote areas have been cut off by broken roads, landslides and crippled communications, leaving people increasingly desperate for basic needs as aid has only just begun to trickle through.
By Thursday, the official death toll stood at 1,424, but it will certainly rise as bodies were still being recovered in Palu, where most of the dead have been counted. Figures for more remote areas were only trickling in, if at all.

Children in America's cities are at risk of exposure to multiple known and potential developmental toxicants, and particular concern has been raised about newly identified, widely prevalent chemicals – the so-called endocrine disruptors (EDs), which include phthalates and alkyl phenols. They have become widely dispersed in the urban built-environment, and significant levels of phthalates are now nearly ubiquitous in the bodies of Americans. Highest exposures occur in children and in minorities. Yet little is known, either of children's pathways of exposure to EDs, or their presence and their levels in children, or of the human developmental toxicity of EDs. To address these gaps, the Mount Sinai Center is undertaking research (1) to characterize the levels and sources of children's exposures to contemporary-use EDs in the urban built environment; (2) to study relationships between EDs and neurobehavioral development; (3) to study relationships among ED exposures, diet, physical activity, and somatic growth; and (4) to characterize enzymatic polymorphisms that may modulate individual susceptibility to EDs.


Lately, I've been struggling to find the time to actually play video games.
Overall, though, it's pretty hard to find the time to play games when you're focused on trying to write a couple of novels, you're running two blogs, and you work three jobs. The days are limited, the hours are short.
This is partly why there haven't been that many game reviews on the blog lately. Between my schedule and Kris's, our gameplay has been slow-going.
I wish I could at least get through one game a week. Or two weeks, depending on how long and in-depth the game is. I want to enjoy the games, not rush through them.
It's times like these that I wish I could play the Song of Time and play all the video games I want.
How do you find the time to fit video games into your schedule?
