As the #Nicaraguan people mark 8 months of violent repression from #Ortega + cronies, the President has signed my #NICAAct into law to hold regime accountable. Ortega’s latest repression is another desperate attempt to cling on to power + the US will answer appropriately.
Nicaragua is one of the safest in all of Latin America, and has been able to prevent the Central American drug cartels to establish a presence, which account for the lack of migration to the United States or other nations, as in the case of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.
Over the past four and a half months western corporate news reports about Nicaragua have painted a harrowing picture about the Central American country, historically known for a revolutionary legacy that has put the nation at odds with United States foreign policy and interests.
In this latest iteration of conflict between the two nations, the United States has made full use of its global propaganda machine and regime change apparatus not only to create chaos and instability in the country, but also to politically and diplomatically isolate it from the rest of the world; the aim? To overthrow the Sandinista government and install a neoliberal puppet government in its place.
Whether we are getting our news from western media organizations like The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, the BBC, or any of the many US-financed opposition news outlets in Nicaragua, the narrative about the recent wave of violence and chaos that has engulfed country has remained uniformed.
This past April the Sandinista government approved a series of reforms to the country’s social security institute, which prompted students to go out into the streets to protest. The government then unleashed its police force against the students and other protesters, who were peaceful. From then on the government went on a killing rampage that resulted in the deaths of more than 400 peaceful protesters.
This narrative has not only been adopted and promoted by US-financed non-profits and opposition news media organizations in Nicaragua, but also by national and international human rights groups, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Usaid’s actions in Brazil: the assistance provided for the training and technical modernization of police forces which promised poorer countries better development alternatives than the revolutionary path.
On the political and diplomatic front, Inter American Commission for Human Rights (IACHR), the “human rights” arm of the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OUNHCHR), have also taken the opposition accounts and included them in their reports without verifying the facts or vetting the organizations that produced the narrative in the first place.
The opposition’s account, however, does not stand to scrutiny. For starters, it was the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and a powerful private business group (COSEP), who supported the original reforms to the social security institute, which included cutting out 53,000 retirees, doubling the number of contributions necessary to qualify for retirement, and changing the retirement age from 60 to 65.
The government responded with a counter offer that didn’t cut anyone out, or changed the number of contributions or age of retirement, but increased contributions by employees and employers, and removed a salary cap to ensure Nicaragua’s highest paid people who have to pay in accordance with their income.
The counter reforms incurred the wrath of Nicaragua’s wealthiest business people, who were in turn the ones who called the initial protests, at first attended only by university students trained by organizations financed and directed United States regime change agencies, such as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
For 30 years, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has been sub-contracting the legal part of illegal CIA operations. Without rousing suspicions, it has put in place the biggest network of corruption in the world, bribing trade unions and management syndicates , political parties both on both the Right and Left so that they defend the interests of the United States instead of their members.
The vast majority of political entities behind the opposition, starting with the Sandinista Renovation Movement (MRS), the oligarchic political parties, media outlets, Catholic schools and churches, non-profit organizations, university students, and people from different sectors, have received financing from the USAID, NED, and other US agencies.
The human rights organizations are all politicized against the Sandinista government. One of them, the ANPDH (Nicaraguan Association for Human Rights), was founded and financed by the Reagan Administration in the 80s for the sole purpose of white-washing the atrocities of the Contras, the mercenary army trained and financed by the US with money from drugs and weapons sales to Iran.
The other organizations, national and international, also receive most, if not all, of their funding from the United States and Europe.
They too have played a destabilizing role in Nicaragua by republishing accounts of government killings and atrocities without verifying the sources or conducting any kind of fact checking. One could look into the death reports, accusations of corruption and repression, the portrayal of the opposition as peaceful; none of the accusations publicized by these national and international groups, and easily see that none would match even the most relaxed standards of journalistic or fact checking standards. However, they are supported and promoted by the most powerful country on earth, against a small developing nation, so they get away with it.
In all truth, the opposition has been made up of a mixture of US trained operatives embedded within private university programs, non-profit organizations, media outlets, churches, and political organizations, that have unleashed a wave of political assassinations, destruction of government institutions, undermining of the economy, and a number of other tactics and strategies implemented through social media platforms and international news and human rights organizations, all in order to bring about the demise of the Sandinista government.
Because Nicaragua has been a thorn on the side of the United States since its very independence, or soon thereafter. Starting with interests around a possible US canal through Nicaragua in the 1850s, and continuing with military invasions and occupations in the 20s and 30s, the 40 plus decades of the Somoza family dictatorship, the Contra war, and this latest attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government, the United States has been trying to impose its will upon Nicaragua, and has always faced fierce resistance. In 2013 Nicaragua signed a concession law giving a Chinese company the rights to build and manage an interoceanic canal, which might require the Chinese to sell US debt in order to start construction.
This time around Nicaragua, one of the least developed nations in the American Hemisphere, has managed to build a strong economy, much to the benefit of its poorest citizens, largely outside of neoliberal standards.
Prior to the beginning of the protests in April, Nicaragua boasted one of the fasted growing economies in Latin America, with a steady 5% annual growth for the past few years. The country cut poverty by two thirds in record time since the Sandinistas returned to power in 2006. Nicaraguan citizens produce approximately 90 percent of the food eaten in the country.
Lastly, Nicaragua is one of the safest in all of Latin America, and has been able to prevent the Central American drug cartels to establish a presence, which account for the lack of migration to the United States or other nations, as in the case of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.
Such level of success happening outside the austerity-and-privatization neoliberal economic model favored by the most powerful countries of the world does not sit well with the United States. The present aggression against Nicaragua merely seeks to turn Nicaragua’s economy into a cheap market so transnational corporations can easily ransack its natural resources and exploit its citizens.
Therefore, it is of the utmost importance for conscious Americans, especially within the veteran community, to stand up against US interference in Nicaragua’s affairs. Such solidarity should include an effort to become informed about and vehemently oppose new forms of intervention into the affairs of other sovereign nations, even when such interventions are endorsed by reputable media and human rights groups that lend a veil of acceptance of the false narratives, when in reality they are doing the bidding of their funders, much to the detriment of those who depend on them to tell the truth. It falls upon us to find that truth, to expose it, and to defend it at all cost.

Sulphur? I hardly know her!
This got me thinking: I wonder how bad sulphur inhalation is for a person? Sulphur in and of itself is not toxic, and in fact is required for life, but products such as sulphur dioxide can cause problems, especially neurological and metabolic issues. Presumably, sulphur is also incorporated into the remodelling human body the way that C, N, and Sr are. So if a person worked in a fullonica, would he have had more exposure to sulphur and thus higher levels of it in his bones?
I can't seem to find a lot of information online about either isotopic or trace element analysis of sulphur in an archaeological (bone) context. It's all about petroleum and fish and stuff. I think I'm looking into trace elements rather than isotopes, as I think the isotopes would help me identify if someone was an immigrant (sulphur being concentrated more in volcanic areas like Rome). But since it's trace element analysis that can help prove Pb poisoning, perhaps it can also prove S poisoning? There's a lot about anthropogenic Pb and how to test for it (which would be pointless in Rome, as they used lead to line their aqueduct pipes, in ceramic production, and even flavored wine with it!), but I can't find much on anthropogenic sulphur. I wish I had a chemist friend... or even an archaeological trace element analysis friend... someone to tell me if this is an avenue worth pursuing or not.
Sulfur Dioxide reacts with water to form Sulfurous acid (H2SO3), so when a person breathes it in, it would become acidic in their membranes and lungs. I'm not sure how the body gets rid of it, but it might react with your blood's buffering compounds and excreted, or some sort of sulfur salt could be formed, much like anthracosis in smokers.
I've never read anything in the paleopath lit, but I wonder if looking towards Greece and the oracles, who were thought to have breathed in sulfur fumes to make predictions, would help?

Seeing as there has yet to be a big game released for VR that has really gotten everyone’s attention, Resident Evil 7 definitely has the ability to change people’s minds if it ends up living up to the hype. It will launch for PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR, Xbox One and PC on January 24th, 2017.

"Backpack" redirects here. For the device from Animal Magnetism, see Ava's device.
A player's inventory is a term for all of the items they are carrying. The game interface splits the inventory into two sections: the backpack inventory and the equipped inventory.
The backpack inventory is where the player carries items that can't be or aren't equipped. A player's backpack inventory can hold up to 28 items, and any additional items must be stored in the player's bank. Some items are stackable (such as coins, runes, and arrows), which means they only take up the space of one item, no matter how many a player has.
The limit of 28 items in a player's inventory is integral to the RuneScape economy. Since only 28 items can be held at once, this requires players to make trips to banks to deposit items while they are gathering or making items. This adds time to the process of gathering items such as logs, ores, or flax and the process of making items, such as bowstrings, bars, and bows. If inventory was unlimited, the prices of such items could face a considerable drop because it wouldn't take as much time to obtain large amounts of them. Runecraft would be made ridiculously easy, as players would be able to craft infinite amounts of runes in a single trip. Gathering skills, such as Fishing, Woodcutting, and Mining (particularly mining rune/pure essence) could be trained for infinite amounts of time without much movement, and processing skills, such as Smithing, Cooking, and Fletching would be extremely easy because infinite numbers of materials could be processing into finished items in one trip. The limitations of inventory help to stabilise the RuneScape economy.

I love escaping from the city even for just a day! Relaxing, breathing deeply, recharging my batteries, taking in the sun and exploring semi-abandoned villages! What about your weekend??
Today is one of those days that i preferred to stay home! Fortunately around my home you may find various objects, posters e.t.c that will bust up your mood and your imagination!
I have always been keen on nighttime, but today i just could not wait for the evening to fall!
Turning on these new lights, filling the empty frames completely changed the wall of my living room!
Having a big balcony, a "quiet" neighbourhood and the sun can be the perfect match for an afternoon (not only at the beginning of the week).
Theme-parties have always been my favorite ones! You do not only change your clothes and your appearance; you change your identity, your way of moving or even your accent! Yesterday night i was the mad-Hatter! Wandering around in the city with a cup of tea and the crazy yellow-contact lenses, was tough at the beginning, but then i got used to it.

It’s not only the name of two popular, nicely- designed cafés (in Budapest & in Berlin) but is a concept and lifestyle which was created by the Hungarian designer Virag Toth. She is also the owner and manager of the Vegan Cafe and Upcycling Fashion Store in Berlin.
The first Kék Ló was created also by Virág back in 2010 in Budapest and it has been converted to a concept of a bar and fashion store with experimental music & food. In fact, the café remained part of the family business as Virág’s son took it over when she moved to Berlin a couple of years ago.
Besides vegetarian and vegan food, hot, cold and alcoholic drinks you can also find a nice offer of up-cycled pieces of clothing made by Virág, in both locations. The Kék Ló in Berlin even operates as a fashion store, full of individual pieces that were up-cycled on site by the Hungarian designer. She also offers workshops at her Café in Berlin and reveals her secrets about Vegan Cooking & Baking and Upcycling.

Home / BLOG / Education / WHY AUSTRALIA?
Australia has it all. World class universities, an affordable and carefree lifestyle, and plenty of warm sunshine to go around. It’s no wonder that students from all over the world flock to Australia for study abroad every year, and you could easily be joining in on the fun. The following is a quick list of the biggest benefits of studying abroad in Australia.
For a country of just 23 million people, Australia has a long standing history of being home to some of the best research institutions on Earth. Top academic programs in science fields, like chemistry, geology, biology, zoology and wildlife, mathematics, and engineering can be found in many of Australia’s 43 major universities, making a study abroad program in Australia a great addition to every student’s professional resume, almost regardless of their field of study.
No need to feel concerned about being the odd man out in Australia. Placing third behind only the United States and the United Kingdom in terms of total international students, Australia has seen at least 200,000 foreign students attend its universities for the past several years. Due to the popularity of study abroad programs in Australia around the world, Australia has become well known for being a very accessible destination for international students. Almost all of the major universities provide programs and services specifically tailored toward helping incoming study abroad students get settled, form friendships, and make the most out of their international experience.
Between the more than 40 universities in Australia, there are hundreds of opportunities to study hundreds of different subjects. For a majority of study abroad students, the larger universities will be top choices, and each one will provide just as many courses of study as any major American university. The most prestigious school in the country, the Australian National University, has over 750 possible course combinations; the pure number of courses offered at the Australian National University means that you will not only be able to take courses related to your major, but there will also be ample opportunities to broaden your academic horizons by taking a class or two that you may not be able to participate in at your home university.
While your home institution likely has funds available for students studying abroad in Australia, there is also another fantastic resource to utilize in the quest to make your international experience as affordable as possible. Every year the Australian government sets aside over $200 million dollars specifically for international students coming to study at Australian universities. These funds are open to students from all over the world and there are certain requirements for application to some (grade requirements, financial need, etc.) but any student accepted to study abroad in Australia should inquire with the University’s financial aid department to see what scholarships may be available to them.
Still looking for ways to knock down the price of studying abroad in Australia? Well Australia is far from unique when it comes to visa restrictions. Although international students will be required to have a student visa in order to enter the country, the perks that come along with that visa set the nation apart: student visa holders are eligible for employment in Australia. Working while studying in Australia is something that can really help drive down the cost of an already affordable experience.
Students can work up to 40 hours every two weeks in jobs that require only basic skills, such as in grocery stores, food and beverage service, or even in various roles on their respective university campuses. These positions can drastically reduce the cost of studying abroad in Australia, often covering most if not all expenses associated with rent, groceries, utilities, and possibly even a bit of tuition as well. Oh, and did we mention the minimum wage in Australia currently sits at just under 17 dollars per hour?
You want fun in the sun? You’ve got it in Australia! With the far southern territory of Victoria as somewhat of an exception, Australia’s climate remains moderately warm to downright hot year round. Some of the top universities for international students are located in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, all of which would consider a daily high below 50 degrees Fahrenheit a rarity at any point in the year. Also keep in mind that due to its location in the southern hemisphere, the seasons in Australia are opposite of those in the United States, making a trip down under a great way to trade in a frigid North American winter for a sunny Australian summer!
The tourism industry in Australia is alive and well, and for good reason. There is an endless number of memorable activities waiting for you. Australians love their outdoor adventures, and visitors can get in on the action whenever they choose. Get away from civilization and see rock formations some two billion years in the making with a study abroad program in the heart of the Australian Outback or jet up to the Gold Coast to experience some of the world’s best scuba diving and snorkeling along the Great Barrier Reef. If indoor activities are more your thing, Australia is home to world class museums and art centers, with the crown jewel, the Sydney Opera house, hosting over 40 shows per week. Australians are famous for their laid back lifestyles, and the student culture of the country epitomizes this. While there is no doubt that Australian students take their schooling very seriously, they approach their leisure time with the same amount of commitment. Many of the major universities in Australia are located along the east coast in cities with easy access to parks, trails, and often beaches as well. People from all age groups make good use of these amenities, but student populations add a fair bit of organization to the mix with student clubs devoted to just about every type of relaxation activities imaginable. Similar to the United States, student organizations and clubs are a mainstay of basically every university, offering countless opportunities for relaxing and escaping the academic atmosphere, even if only for a little while.
While Australia itself can easily provide plenty of opportunities for memorable travel experiences, including activities like bungee jumping and scuba diving, international students may also choose to visit nearby locations as part of their study abroad experience. After all, many students may not get the chance to return to that area of the world any time soon. The naturally gorgeous nation of New Zealand is just a short flight away, and multiple tropical islands of the South Pacific are easily within reach as well. These destinations make for perfect getaways over school holidays (spring or fall break) or even for bookend trips at the beginning or end of an academic term.

This isn't technically yet another goodbye post from me.... The difference from all the previous times, is that I've actually drifted already instead of forcing myself to with some emotional sappy post to initiate it.
I've kinda lost my sense of belonging on this site :/ There are a couple group games on here I haven't tried that I wish I had done earlier, but I always find myself stressed with almost everything I do on this site. I guess that's just me and I have low frustration tolerance for these intense strategic situations this site has put me through. Being a part of @Z_Moderation was a great opportunity on this site, but I should've known that I'd be dealing with a lot of immaturity during my time on the team last year.... If I'm going to enjoy myself on my free time away from flopping Uni exams and messing up Starbucks orders, it better be something that doesn't contribute or encourage negative feelings.
I wish I had the same excitement for this site like I did during the first few months I joined this site in 2016, those few months were my favourite honestly.
You would think I have some sort of hatred for this site now based on what I've wrote lol.... But besides all the negative emotions I feel I've dealt with on here, I've had so many good memories I'll never forget and some good friends on here I miss talking to daily.
I thought I would just explain my recent absence if any of you cared. I have 1855 chips idk what to do with now that I'm no longer saving for my Love Island game idea, so comment below and I'll do a giveaway for one person to win a bunch of VIP chips-in-gifts.
Love you Parrish sometimes we just outgrow things and the way the site is now is difficult to swallow because it’s super ruthless and just not the same vibes as it once had. Perfectly normal to want to move on.
You are missed, I'm grateful for everything you gave to Zwooper and hope you find the love for this place again one day. Take care.
aww gl in the future !

One of my favorite classes I took as a civil engineer is CE 334. Technically, it’s called “Mechanical Behavior of Materials” but everyone in the department likes to refer to it as “the class where you break stuff” because the lab component is all about applying load to various materials until they reach failure. We stretch metal until it pulls like taffy and breaks (tensile test), we mix concrete by hand and then crush it (compression test), we play around with strain gauges, test frames, and more. It’s a really fun lab where you learn actual testing methods used in industry to oversee the quality of building projects.
Probably the best part of the class, though, is the final project. We spend about half of the semester in labs organized by the instructor, and then the second half of the class we get to plan and carry out our own investigation of material properties. We pick what we want to investigate, we design the experiment, we are given a small budget to purchase materials for the tests, we schedule time with the testing equipment, and we analyze and present our results. My group chose to look at how the strength of wood is affected by being repeatedly soaked and dried. We went to Lowe’s and bought a few 2×4’s, cut them to size, and then set up a soaking basin and learned how to use the geotech oven. Then for two weeks we switched our samples from wet to dry or from dry to wet every day. After we had properly treated all of our samples, we used the universal testing machine (UTM) to perform a 4-point bending test until the sample failed.
I learned a lot about the process of designing and executing my own testing regimen through this class, and I had a ton of fun working with my group on what ended up being a really fun and successful project.

The fourth edition of our newsletter captures some memorable moments of 2018 and provides an overview of our plans for 2019.
This edition presents a summary of our events over the last 2 years. We wish to thank you for your support over these 2 years. It is our hope that this support would be extended to the soon-to-be-elected Executives of the Community.
The Ghanaian Community in Geneva and Ghanaians from many other parts of Switzerland, including Lausanne, Bern and Zurich happily welcomed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to Geneva. The President and his entourage were in Geneva to attend the fifth edition of the Africa's Forum scheduled for 20 to 21 March 2017.
The Ghanaian Community in Geneva organized a cultural day in Geneva to highlight the rick culture of Ghana to the multicultural environment of Geneva. The event showcased Ghanaian food, Ghanaian cultural dance, Ghanaian fashion both from Geneva and Ghana, Ghanaian chieftaincy and Ghanaian hiplife music. The wings of a dove percussion group from Zurich entertained the audience through cultural dances.
The Ghanaian Community in Geneva convened a General Assembly meeting in line with the dictates of the Constitution. The meeting provided an opportunity for the Executive Committee to discuss the detailed plan of action for the 2-year period. Community members had an opportunity to input into the plan.
This is the maiden edition of the GCG newsletter. The aim of this 6-monthly newsletter is to keep Ghanaians in Geneva and its environs informed on matters and events within the Community. This edition covers events between January and September. The next edition will be published in early October.

The pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 (H1N1pdm09) virus infection caused illness and death among people worldwide, particularly in hematologic/oncologic patients because influenza infected individuals can shed virus for prolonged periods, thus increasing the chances for the development of drug-resistant strains such as oseltamivir-resistant (OST-r) variant.
The aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical importance of OST-r variant in circulating strains of the pandemic H1N1pdm09 virus. By means of RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing we analysed the presence of OST-r variant in 76 H1N1pdm09 laboratory-confirmed cases, hospitalized at the hematologic/oncologic ward at Spedali Civili of Brescia –Italy.
Out of 76 hospitalized hematologic/oncologic patients, 23 patients (30.2%) were infected by H1N1pdm09 virus. Further investigation revealed that 3 patients were positive for the OST-r variant carrying the H275Y mutation. All the 23 infected patients were immuno-compromised, and were under treatment or had been treated previously with oseltamivir. Three patients died (13%) after admission to intensive care unit and only one of them developed H275Y mutation.
Our retrospective observational study shows that pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus can cause significant morbidity and even mortality in hematologic/oncologic patients and confirms the high rate of nosocomial transmission of pandemic H1N1pdm09 virus in these critical subjects. Indeed, the reduction in host defences in these hospitalized patients favoured the prolonged use of antiviral therapy and permitted the development of OST-r strain. Strategies as diagnostic vigilance, early isolation of patients and seasonal influenza A(H1N1) vaccination may prevent transmission of influenza in high risk individuals.
The pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus (H1N1pdm09) broke out in Mexico and USA during the late spring and early summer of 2009. Due to its rapid widespread transmission, H1N1pdm09 virus was declared as novel influenza pandemic virus in June 2009 by the World Health Organization (WHO) [1–6]. Indeed the genomic analysis of this new 2009 influenza virus indicated a genetic viral reassortment and it contained genes of influenza A virus strains that are endemic in swine, avian and human species [7, 8].
The 2009 pandemic virus was found susceptible to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAI) antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu TM) and zanamivir (Relenza TM) that have been used extensively for chemoprophylaxis and treatment in 2009 pandemic virus. The emergence of oseltamivir-resistant (OST-r) pandemic H1N1pdm09 variant, characterized by the single amino acid change H275Y in the neuraminidase (NA) glycoprotein [9–13], was detected in many countries , especially in Italy [15–18]. The OST-r variant has been detected in immuno-compromised patients that are at risk for serious complications from seasonal influenza [2, 19–22]. The nosocomial transmission of H1N1pdm09 resistant variants may cause an increase of morbility and mortality in this group of subjects.
The aim of this study was to investigate nosocomial viral transmission of H1N1pdm09 in a cluster of critical hematologic patients and the clinical importance and impact of OST-r variant viruses.
In January 2011, an outbreak of H1N1pdm09 occurred in a Hematology ward at Spedali Civili of Brescia (Italy). Respiratory specimens from symptomatic contact patients of the presumed index patient were analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for influenza A/B virus. Screening was performed on 134 specimens obtained from 76 hospitalized patients (age range: 23-76 years). H1N1pdm09 positive samples were further tested for OST-r variant.
In our laboratory, the current diagnostic algorithm for testing of Influenza includes primary screening using a multiplex commercial real-time RT-PCR assay (Flu A/Flu B Q-PCR Alert Kit, Nanogen Advanced Diagnostics, Italy) targeting the matrix gene of all human influenza A and B viruses. Positive samples were subsequently tested for H1N1pdm09 sub-type by a commercial assay (Fast set H1N1v-Arrowdiagnostics, Italy). H1N1pdm09 positive samples were further tested for oseltamivir resistance using an in house RT-PCR [23, 24] and the results confirmed using Sanger sequencing method. We retrospectively obtained the clinical data of the confirmed cases and reviewed the medical records. All patients submitted to RT-PCR test for H1N1pdm09 presented influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms, and the positive cases were administered oseltamivir therapy: 75 mg twice/ day, for five days.
Clinical samples (nasopharyngeal swabs, bronchoalveolar washings or respiratory secretions) were collected from all patients using a pernasal flocked swab and stored in a UTM-RT tube (Kit Cat. No. 360c, Copan Italia, Brescia, Italy). Each sample was immediatly tested by real-time PCR in order to identify A and B influenza viruses as previously described. Diagnosis of influenza was invariably provided within 8–24 hours after the receipt of the sample.
The investigation of this outbreak did not involve any planned activity that could have been reviewed prospectively by an institutional review board or ethics committee. The Ethics commette was consulted retrospectively and agreed to the approach as described for reporting clinical information obtained during the investigation. All patients received study information and signed informed consent.
DNA/RNA was extracted by an automatic nucleic acid platform (Nuclisens EasyMag - Biomerieux). Aliquots of 400 μl of each respiratory sample were added to 1600 μl of lysis buffer and the mix was loaded in the instrument. After a lysis step (10 minutes at room temperature), 65 μl of magnetic silica, 10 μl of internal control (CPE, Nanogen Advanced Diagnostics S.R.L), purified beta globin sequence and 55 μl of wash reagent were added to each specimen. Total nucleic acid was automatically extracted, eluted in 110 μl of specific buffer and immediately processed by real time PCR. Aliquots were stored at -80°C.
Extracted viral RNA was tested by Flu A/Flu B Q-PCR Alert Kit (Nanogen Advanced Diagnostics, Italy), using ABI Prism 7300 Fast Real Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Italy). This test is based on simultaneous amplification of the matrix region of Influenza A and B and of the internal control human beta globin gene. Beta globin DNA was added to each sample to monitor the efficiency of extraction and amplification procedures. Specific TaqMan probes labelled with different reporter molecules were used to detect amplification of the targets.
The positive samples for influenza A virus were tested for H1N1pdm09. Viral RNA was tested by Fast set H1N1v (Arrowdiagnostics, Italy) using ABI Prism 7300 Fast Real Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Italy). This test is constituted combining a two-step reverse transcription-multiplex PCR with typing and sub-typing on the electronic microarray. This assay distinguishes influenza virus types A and B, and identifies common influenza virus A subtypes H1N1 and H3N2, as well as the potentially pandemic avian influenza virus subtype H5N1.
The H1N1 positive samples were tested for OST-r variants by one step RT-PCR amplification using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and directly sequenced by cycle sequencing. This one step RT-PCR amplification was made in house following S. Wong’s protocol . Amplification was carried out using SuperScript TM One-Step Quantitative Kit (Invitrogen) in a final volume of 25 μl, with 5 μl of extracted RNA as template, 800 nM each of the forward and reverse primers and 200 nM of each probe. The amplification conditions were: reverse transcription at 48°C for 30 min, Taq activation for 10 min at 95°C, followed by 45 cycles of amplification comprising denaturation for 15 sec at 95°C, annealing and primer extension for 1 min at 60°C.
The 2009 influenza A(H1N1) NA gene was amplified directly from clinical specimen using the Superscript III One-step RT-PCR amplification kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA).
After RNA extraction, a 415 bp fragment of the NA gene was amplified using the following primers: forward AACACAAGAGTCTGAATGTGC, reverse ACCGTTTCTTGAACTAATGCTT . The PCR products were further purified using QIAquick® Kit (Qiagen, Italy) and sequenced using Big Dye® Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit (Applied Biosystem, Italy) with an ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer. Manual examination of the electropherogram was also performed for the identification of mixed bases, following in-house protocols for diagnosis confirmation (protocols available upon request).
During the period January 1st to March 31st 2011, in the Hematology ward of Spedali Civili of Brescia (Italy), 23 patients out of 76 (30.2%) developed nosocomial H1N1pdm09 from the likely index case. A total of 134 specimens were performed: 41 samples resulted positive for H1N1pdm09, and subsequently were tested for oseltamivir resistance and 3 samples were positive. Nosocomial acquisition was defined as the development of symptoms attributable to pandemic influenza A that was not present at admission in the hospital but set within 48 hours. Most patients exhibited fever (92%) and cough (90%); dyspnoea, sore throat and rhinorrhea were reported in 45% of the patients. Three cases of OST-r variant were identified during the peak activity of H1N1pdm09 infection and in the same period three patients who required transfer to the intensive care (ICU) because of their critical respiratory status died for fatal influenza virus pneumonia (13.1%, patients 3, 5 and 6).
The clinical characteristics and timeline of the outbreak of H1N1pdm09 in these patients are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1, respectively. The mean age of case patients was 53 (range, 43-65 years) (Table 1). During the seasonal influenza peak all these patients were admitted for reasons unrelated to influenza infection. All patients showed ILI symptoms such as fever, cough, dyspnoea and sore throat, from January 26th to February 14th (Figure 1).
Timeline of influenza A (H1N1) nosocomial during seasonal outbreak: all 6 patients were admitted to the haematology ward.
The presumed index case (patient1) was admitted to the hospital on January 16th for scheduled induction chemotherapy. She was the first case to exhibit symptoms of influenza. Oseltamivir administration was initiated after H1N1pdm09 detection by RT- PCR and lasted for five days (75 mg twice per day). No other viral and bacterial respiratory pathogens were detected, and blood cultures remained negative. At the same time, the screening for all patients started. Four underlying malignancies patients (patient 2, 3, 4 and 5) developed hospital-acquired influenza A virus infection (Table 1) and were present at the same time as the index patient at the Hematology ward, without isolation procedures (Figure 1). Patient 4 developed mild influenza symptoms with rapid viral clearance, patient 2 developed pneumonia but with resolution, whereas patients 3 and 5 developed pulmonary consolidations and fatal influenza pneumonia.
Patients 6 was an ambulatory patient of the Hematology ward, present in the unit at the same time of outbreak for routine analysis. He developed pulmonary consolidation and fatal respiratory failure. The influenza vaccination status of these patients is not known.
All subjects were ambulatory patients, and periodically left the ward and interacted with staff, visitors and other inpatients while outside of their rooms. All patients resulted positive to H1N1pdm09 virus and were administered oseltamivir therapy: 75 mg twice/ day, for five days.
Patients 2, 3, 5, 6 were administered oseltamivir therapy several times and OST-r H1N1pdm09 with NA gene H275Y mutation, as detected by RT PCR and confirmed by Sanger sequencing method, emerged in patients 2, 4 and 5 (3/23, 13.1%). Mixtures of wild-type and mutant variant (H275 H/Y) were detected only in the respiratory specimens from patient 4. Three patients had notable co-pathogens identified. Patients 3 and 6 had concurrent herpesviridae (cytomegalovirus and EBV) detected by RT-PCR in respiratory specimens and blood. Patients 4 had Stafilococcus epidermidis bacteraemia from an unrelated source.
Three patients (3, 5, and 6) were admitted to medical ICU, they had radiologically confirmed pneumonia with unilateral/bilateral opacities. Findings on chest radiographs were consistent with an acute respiratory distress syndrome that required intubation and mechanical ventilation. They died of fatal influenza pneumonia. Remarkably, only one of the three (patient 5) was infected by OST-r H1N1pdm09 variant. Death cause for fatal influenza pneumonia was supported by detection of H1N1pdm09 from post-mortem pulmonary tissue. Among the remaining 17 infected inpatients, 12 patients developed influenza lower respiratory tract infection with different levels of respiratory failure, despite the oseltamivir therapy (diagnosis of H1N1pdm09 was confirmed by NAT of bronchial washings).
Moreover, it is interesting to note that, in this cluster of patients, viral shedding persisted for a very long period (median: 12 days, range: 7-25), longer than the time of therapy which was administered according to guideline (5 days).
We report a case series of hospitalized hematologic/oncologic patients with H1N1pdm09 infection during the seasonal influenza period 2010-2011 in the Hematology ward at Spedali Civili of Brescia. In this period the Hematology division was crowded with patients and when the first case of H1N1pdm09 was identified, the nosocomial influenza virus outbreak spread. Unfortunately, isolation of the first infected patients was not possible.
76 patients developed ILI, but only 23 (30.2%) were infected of H1N1pdm09. Following a confirmed close contact, with index patient, the other patients (53), were infected by other respiratory viruses and bacterial pathogens, which were detected by routine diagnostic procedures by RT-PCR. We are unable to establish whether the health care workers or visitors contributed to viral transmission among the patients, but during that time of year the circulation of H1N1pdm09 was significantly high in the community (93% of Influenza A-positive cases were due to H1N1pdm09) and in our hospital the total H1N1pdm09 infected patients were 57 (15%) out of 379 ILI patients. A rate of 91% of nosocomial patients with Influenza A virus illness was H1N1pdm09 infected and 9% was infected by influenza A (H3N2) or unsubtypable influenza A and influenza B.
The 57 H1N1pdm09 infected patients were subjected to drug-resistance test analysis and five resulted OST-r. These outcomes are similar to the results obtained from other Italian authors [15–17].
Many factors have added up to nosocomial spread of influenza: temporal overlap of inpatient stay within the ward, prolonged viral shedding and presence of health care workers and family members with influenza-like illness. Patients with hematologic malignancies accounted for 50% of deaths among the patients with H1N1pdm09 infection in our Hospital (six patients died: 3 in Hematology ward, 2 in Infectious Diseases division, 1 in Pneumology unit). The mortality rate of RT-PCR confirmmed H1N1pdm09 infected patients in our Hospital was to 10.5%, while in Hematology ward it was 13.1%. These patients were admitted to the intensive care unit due to development of severe respiratory failure.
In addition, our investigation confirmed that a cluster of oseltamivir resistant H1N1pdm09 infection occurred among 3 immuno-compromised patients in the Hematology ward after therapy with oseltamivir. One of them died in ICU and developed OST-r after several weeks of therapy. No evidence was found that health care personnel or other inpatient contacts developed ILI caused by OST-r H1N1pdm09 variant. Resistance to oseltamivir in H1N1pdm09 has been linked to H275Y mutation in NA glycoprotein gene [25–27] and OST-r H1N1pdm09 variant has been described in June 2009 among immuno-compromised patients treated with oseltamivir [2, 4, 18, 28] and OST-r H1N1 2009 virus was first reported in September 2009 [2, 28, 29] and among fit people who received oseltamivir therapy. Oseltamivir resistance has been detected in less than 1% of untreated patients in the community, and transmission has been documented only in closed settings or settings involving close contact with infected people [22, 30]. Moreover, the prevalence of OST-r viruses in the H1N1pdm09 was very low because they are characterized by lower virulence than that of wild-type viruses [31, 32], and most fatal cases of OST-r virus infection have occurred in patients with severe immune-suppression associated with hematologic disorders [33, 34] or individual risk factors as obesity or diabetes [15, 17]. However, current widespread circulation of OST-r pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus associated with typical influenza illnesses and viral pneumonia suggest that these viruses retain significant transmissibility and pathogenicity [33–36].
Our analysis of a critical cluster of patients with H1N1pdm09 infection reveals that this disease affected middle age patients, most of them with underlying chronical diseases. Indeed, we observed that patient 5 who became infected by drug resistant virus after prolonged therapy, developed pneumonia, rapidly progressing and leading to death. Other investigators reported similar results: usually, resistance in these patients emerges in response to antiviral drug selection pressure [4, 16, 18, 20–22].
We found a relatively high incidence of drug resistant viruses, i.e. 3 out of 23 H1N1pdm09 infected patients, as confirmed by RT-PCR, after several cycles of oseltamivir therapy. This also appeared to affect the severity of the disease, as these three positive patients were critically ill. The OST-r in hematologic/oncological patients suggests that immuno-suppressed patients have increased risk for complications of influenza and of developing resistant strains [33, 34, 36]. Early identification and prolonged isolation precautions appear necessary in taking care of infected immuno-compromised patients like critical hematologic/oncological patients. For prevention and control of seasonal influenza among these patients, influenza vaccination is recommended, (as well as in their family members and health care workers), although the immune response to vaccination can be low in these patients [31, 32, 35].
Our study has limitations since it is a retrospective, single center observational study, with a relatively small set of data analyzed. The pathogenetic role of OST-r variants observed remains to be confirmed in a larger cohort. Nevertheless, our results underscore the need for diagnostic vigilance and early isolation to prevent nosocomial transmission of influenza and other seasonal influenza infections among immuno-compromised patients. Moreover, influenza virus and other respiratory viruses should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of fever or respiratory symptoms in hospitalized patients when the prevalence of such respiratory viral infections is high in the community.

Why do kids become myopic?
It's normal for kids to have +2.00 in hyperopia (farsightness) and astigmatism from birth to 5 years old.
It goes towards zero at 6 years old. It's very important for the child to get eye exams at least once a year after age 3 years old.
If the child is -0.50 or higher in myopia (nearsightedness) at 6 years old, it's normal for the eye to grow -0.50 per year.
If the eye grows -0.50 a year, they can grow -1.00 a year during puperty age (11-18).
It's a critical to start doing myopia control if myopia starts before age 10. Even if the eye only grows -0.50 a year, they can get over -5.00 after 10 years. By age 20 years old, they can have -5.00. It can continue to grow while they are in university. It would likely stop growing after they finished school.
It's considered early onset if myopia started before age 10. So let's get they in proper eye care by an Optometrist, and start monitoring the progressions early.

We report a case of severe post partum cadiomyopathy in severe cardiogenic shock, treated successfully and urgently with the implantation of Left Ventricular Assist device. The patient recovered a normal left ventricle function shortly after implantation. This case illustrates the crucial place of left ventricular assist device in severe post partum cardiomyopathy as a bridge to recovery as well as a bridge to transplantation.

A growing Ohio film industry is expected to get an additional boost from the doubling of a state tax-credit program that has helped spur interest in the state as a place to make films. Gov. John Kasich recently signed into law a revised Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit that increases the annual incentive cap to $40 million from $20 million.
The surge in production in Ohio � and the resulting increase in employment and spending � has been sparked largely by the tax credit. But to bring bigger budget productions to the state, the tax incentive had to be increased, film-commission directors across the state have said. Ohio had already hit its $20 million incentive cap in April.
The increased tax credit is �an important step in building the financial infrastructure needed to establish Ohio as an important player in the global film market,� said Len Hartman, president and chief operating officer of the Ohio Film Group, a post-production facility in Columbus.
�As part of that growth, OFG and Columbus, as well as the rest of the state, will certainly benefit from more and larger film and TV projects coming to the region in a more consistent and timely fashion,� Hartman said.
For several years, Columbus lagged behind Cleveland and Cincinnati in attracting big-budget movie productions with big-name stars. Lured in part by the film tax credit, such films as �The Avengers� and �Captain America� have set up camp in the other big cities in Ohio, while a smattering of low-budget productions called Columbus home.
That began to change last year. Thanks to two films shot in 2015 in Columbus � �478� starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and �I Am Wrath� starring John Travolta � 834 jobs have been created and $16.6 million is estimated to have been spent.

Conservation and animal welfare organizations have joined forces to submit written comments urging the U.S. Forest Service to consider an alternative plan to poison prairie dog colonies on Wyoming’s Thunder Basin National Grassland within ¼ mile of private or state land.
The Humane Society of the United States, Biodiversity Conservation Alliance, Defenders of Wildlife, WildEarth Guardians and others are leaders in this initiative that would save an estimated 16,000 prairie dogs.
In 2009, after years of planning and public input, officials set aside 85,000 acres in the Thunder Basin National Grassland as an area where prairie dogs would be protected from poisons and shooting. Today, this area contains the best prairie dog habitat on any National Grassland in America, but the U.S. Forest Service’s proposed plan would shrink this protected area by 22,000 acres.

text: This dissertation is an original composition for symphonic wind ensemble with an accompanying analysis document. Firefly is an eighteen minute, programmatic composition intended to provide a work accessible to both the performers and the audience. It is presented in two movements entitled "As Darkness Glows" and "Blue Whirlwind" and is scored for traditional wind ensemble including: piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, Eb clarinet, three Bb clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, two alto saxophones, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, three Bb trumpets, four horns, two tenor trombones, bass trombone, euphonious, tuba, string bass, piano, timpani, and multiple percussion. The work explores elements of minimalism; whole-tone and octatonic sonorities; jazz elements such as flat thirds, sixths, and sevenths; and rhythmic complexities that include polyrhythm; and contrapuntal devices such as canonic imitation. The analysis of the work includes a discussion of formal structure, thematic development, vertical sonorities, rhythm in relation to meter, and orchestration. Firefly was premiered February 25th, 2005 by the Meadows Wind Ensemble, conducted by Dr. Jack Delaney, at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

You can find some detailed information in the Ontario Disability Support Program - Income Support Directives - Section 2.3 - Spouse from the Ministry of Community and Social Services website.
An applicant or recipient is eligible to receive income support as a single person or sole-support parent, unless he/she resides with another person who is determined to be his/her spouse.
Where an applicant or recipient is ineligible as a single person or sole-support parent because he/she has a spouse, the applicant or recipient and the person who is the spouse may apply for income support as a couple.
ODSP applicants and recipients continue to have the option of self-declaring someone as a spouse for the purpose of including them as a member of their benefit unit.
If an applicant or recipient has been living with another adult (other than a close relative) for at least three months and has not declared the person as a spouse, an assessment of the relationship is done to determine if the relationship is marriage-like. The assessment is based on the individual's responses to the Questionnaire.
A spouse is considered to be a dependant in the benefit unit. The budgetary requirements, income and assets of the recipient and any dependants are to be included in determining the eligibility and the amount of income support for the benefit unit. Therefore, the combined income, assets and expenses of the couple are taken into account to determine financial eligibility and the amount of income support.
Your partner may want to contact their Caseworker directly for definitive information.
I have a question. I am on ODSP.
I have rented a house for 4 years.
I broke up with a common law partner 2 years ago but remain friends. He does not live with me not pay my bills. Now because of the small town we live in and his line of work....well my landlord ( who is a mutual friend) is offering to sell the house I rent to him(My ex).
He does not want to move in.
What would ODSP have to say about me renting a house from an EX common law spouse?
That's a tricky situation. I could offer up guesses, but they would only be just that. Since this was over a month ago, I assume you've contacted your caseworker by now? If not, I'd definitely do that. If you have, I'm curious how this all worked out.
