New Delhi: The Vice President of India, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu expressed concern over the growing incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and called upon the medical fraternity to take the lead in promoting healthy lifestyle.
Shri Naidu said that also wanted members of the Indian Medical Association to take up a drive to prevent NCDs by visiting schools in their respective neighbourhoods and educate the children on the health hazards of modern lifestyle.
Participating in the Sixth Convocation of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), here today, Shri Naidu said that there was a need to arrest this alarming trend by launching a nationwide campaign on Non-communicable diseases.
Quoting the WHO report he said that that about 63 per cent of all deaths are caused by NCDs. The rising trend of diabetes, heart diseases, cancers and chronic respiratory problems needs to be halted, he added.
Shri Naidu said that Yoga must be promoted in schools in a big way in view of its salutary effect on health. Yoga and meditation would not only help in improving physical fitness, but also ensure mental equilibrium, which is the need of the hour in view of the increased stress faced by the youngsters, he added.
Observing that the most important aspect of healthcare was to make it accessible and affordable to the poorest of the poor, he suggested providing free intensive care to all road accident victims and also to develop transplant facilities in Government Medical colleges. He said making ICU care affordable by government assistance and universal insurance should be the way forward.
Stating that India was lagging behind western countries in organ donations due to the absence of a robust diseased donor program at the national level, he urged the government to promote cadaveric donor programme and also wanted people to join the noble cause of organ donation.
Shri Naidu also said that the out-of-pocket health expenditure borne by majority of the people needs to be addressed as high costs have pushed many families into debts. There was also a need to initiate measures on a war footing to bridge the urban rural divide in healthcare facilities in the country, he added.
Congratulating ILBS team for having performed over 550 liver transplants since the institute’s inception, the Vice President lauded the institute for introducing several innovative teaching programs.
The Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of Delhi, Shri Satyendar Jain, Chief Secretary of Delhi, Shri Vijay Kumar Dev, the Director, ILBS, Shri S.K. Sarin, faculty and students of Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) were also present.
“I am pleased to participate in the Sixth Convocation Day of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) and address the staff and students of this institute.
I am told that ILBS is offering state-of-art liver care services to lakhs of patients and has become a 234-bed hospital with a footfall of more than one lakh patients per year. While the country needs more such institutes of advanced medical care, it is also a matter of concern that liver ailments and other diseases associated with modern lifestyles are on the rise.
The growing incidence of non-communicable diseases should be a matter of concern to all and not only to health experts and planners. According to WHO, about 63 per cent of all deaths are caused by NCDs in India. We need to arrest this alarming trend by launching a nationwide campaign on the dangers posed by the modern lifestyle—physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary habits, use of alcohol and tobacco and obesity, among others, are .leading to higher incidence of NCDs. The rising trend of heart diseases, diabetes, cancers and chronic respiratory diseases has to be halted.
While the government has plans to reduce by about 50 per cent the household use of solid fuel and about 30 per cent in the prevalence of current tobacco use by 2025, the need of the hour is for all stakeholders in the healthcare sector to collaborate and scale up their efforts in a massive concerted action to prevent and control NCDs.
This campaign on creating awareness to adopt healthy lifestyles should start from schools and the medical community should take the lead in promoting it. I would like to call upon the Indian Medical Association members to take up this drive to prevent NCDs by visiting schools in their respective neighbourhoods and educate the children on the health hazards of modern lifestyles.
As a matter-of-fact, yoga should be promoted in schools in a big way in view of its salutary effect on health. Yoga and meditation would not only help in improving physical fitness, but also ensure mental equilibrium, which is the need of the hour in view of the increased stress faced by the youngsters.
According to ‘Health Statistics 2018’, WHO’s annual snapshot of the state of the world’s health, less than half the people in the world today get all of the health services they need.It is estimated that In 2010, almost 100 million people were pushed into extreme poverty because they had to pay for health services out of their own pockets. A staggering number of13 million people die every year before the age of 70 from cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes and cancer – most in low and middle-income countries.
All these are important issues that impact the overall development of a nation. In India, one of the biggest concerns is the utterly lopsided spread of the healthcare facilities with most of the best and state-of-art hospitals located in urban areas although the majority of the people live in rural areas. We need to initiate measures on a war footing to remedy this situation.
Another equally vital issue that needs to be addressed is the out-of-pocket health expenditure borne by majority of the people. The high costs have pushed many families into debts. In view of the low penetration of health insurance in the country, the Aayushman Bharat scheme launched by the Government of India would be beneficial to 10 crore poor and needy families.
I am told that liver diseases are more common than heart diseases. According to the latest WHO data, liver diseases account for more than 200,000 (2.44 per cent) deaths annually. Liver cancer is the second most common cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Hepatitis B and C are still the leading causes of liver illness, cancers and deaths in India.
However, in the recent past, fatty liver disease has become an important cause–nearly one out of four Indians have fatty liver and 10 per cent of them might be at risk of developing liver disease due to fat. We should change our diet and life style. It is well known that fatty liver can precede the development of diabetes and heart disease. Obesity and diabetes are associated with liver ailments and diabetics are more prone to liver disease. In fact, we need to have large scale studies and research on metabolic and liver diseases in the country and institutions like ILBS should take lead to define the burden of life style related liver diseases in India.
I have also come to know of a disturbing new trend. I am told that nearly 45 per cent of admissions at ILBS are due to alcoholic liver disease. This is because of our changing social milieu. This is preventable. Our society has to understand and minimize alcohol abuse to prevent alcoholic liver disease. The unfortunate part of the story is that such patients are also not considered for liver transplant. We need to create greater awareness about the negative effects of alcohol consumption.
Unlike the case with other organs, nearly all the liver diseases are preventable either by healthy life style, or vaccination for hepatitis B, safe blood and needles for hepatitis C. If these diseases are allowed to progress, the liver fails and patient needs a liver transplant. Liver transplant is a cure to those with end stage liver disease. India needs about 200,000 liver transplants a year, but we are able to probably do just about 3,000 transplants a year.
I must congratulate the ‘Team ILBS’ for having performed over 550 transplants since inceptionand 190 renal transplants at low cost. I must compliment ILBS, the only government institute in the entire country for running such a successful liver transplant program.
Somehow, nearly 95 per cent of transplants in North India are by donation of liver from a relative. We lag behind our western counterparts due to absence of a robust deceased donor program at the national level. I would urge the government to promote cadaveric donor program and also call upon the people to register themselves for the noble cause of donating organs.
The most important aspect of healthcare is to make it accessible and affordable to the poorest. A major step would be to provide free intensive care to all road victims and develop transplant facilities in Government Medical colleges. Making ICU care affordable by government assistance and universal insurance may be the way forward.
I am told that ILBS was ranked 8th in all Medical Institutions and second to AIIMS, Delhi, in scholastic achievements in the NIRF rankings of 2017, released last year. This has been possible only because ILBS has been nurturing a vibrant culture of research and training in a clinical setting to bridge the gap between the bench and the bedside.
I also compliment the institute for introducing several innovative liver-centric teaching programs, such as post-doctoral Courses DM, M.Ch, Ph.D., Post-Doctoral Certificate Courses (PDCC) and short term training programs for the aspiring and eligible medical and research scholars.
Today on the occasion of the Institute’s Sixth Convocation, let me congratulate ILBSDirector, Dr.Sarin and all the specialists, who have been trained to serve the country in the niche area of liver disease.
The country needs many liver specialists and I do hope that you can substantially increase the number of students in the near future with support from the Government of Delhi and the Medical Council of India. ILBS should fulfill the needs of not only India, but the whole Asian region. I would encourage ILBS to go to the SAARC and ASEAN regions and set up training programs there.
Dear students, I heartily congratulate you on your academic accomplishment. As you progress further in your profession, please strive for excellence. Don’t settle for mediocrity, you have the competence to access the knowledge and skills to make you the best specialists and surgeons.
The country needs bright young minds and strong skilful hands to shape its destiny. I urge you to seek every opportunity to serve as many people as you can. ‘Bahujana Hitaaya, Bahujana Sukhaya’ should be the guiding principle.
India is a vast country with a multitude of challenges. It is also a country that offers unprecedented opportunities. Please seize the opportunities and grow professionally as well as make our country and world a happier place.
As you cross an important milestone today, I congratulate you and wish you a fruitful and fulfilling journey ahead.

The founding idea that Instant Access Technologies (IAT) had for epoints was simple – to build an online loyalty system with enough redeemable rewards to satisfy anyone.
(English) With nearly 2000 online stores and partners, 2 million rewards, and a variety of innovative and interactive ways for users to raise their score, epoints has become one of the most powerful online loyalty platforms around.
(English) IAT wanted to build a new online loyalty platform in a short span of time. PGS Software knew that the best way to do that would be to use the AWS Cloud to develop a robust yet easily scalable and secure solution.
(English) The core infrastructure was in place but the PGS Software team had to build the actual platform. The team put a lot of work into making epoints fast and secure, and into integrating it with a long list of partner sites and reward providers.
(English) Having worked with PGS Software resources on various different projects over the 4 years of our engagement, I am in a good position to verify that adding PGS Software resources to a new or existing project will increase levels of insight, velocity, quality, and resilience.
(English) Instant Access Technologies (IAT) helps businesses connect, motivate and reward customers, partners and employees through innovative digital solutions.

From taking selfies to posting every single second of our lives, we feel an inherent need to document (on our phones) what we’re doing and then wait with anticipation for people to comment/like, etc, so we can connect. We obsessively follow what others are doing; it’s become a pastime for many of us. But are we truly connecting, and what are we missing out on while we stay glued to our screens? Our phones, like any other vice, can be an addiction. Go out sometime and see how many people can’t seem to put their phone away for fear of missing out. Eyes are on the screen while life passes them by, they stay focused on what is happening in social media land.
Me? You could take mine away from me for a week and I’d survive. Now take away caffeine from me and I’m a beast.
I recently treated myself to a delicious breakfast at my favorite haunt in town (Tandem Creperie). Going out to eat alone can be a thrilling experience; alone time is good for the soul. Thanks to suffering from many food allergies, dining out for me can be a serious chore/challenge and finding places that don’t make me react or get sick are few and far between. So, when I discover a place that doesn’t cause me to have a reaction, I’m a follower for life. Anyway, enough about this, I brought this topic up because when I was devouring my blueberry GF crepe and sipping on an iced vanilla latte while eavesdropping on private conversations (writers do this), I heard a group of people fretting about their number of followers on Instagram. No joke. They were comparing numbers and upset that So-And-So had more followers than they did. And, I’m willing to bet you, this isn’t a rare occurrence. What is most alarming about this being a major concern to someone is that they are placing their own merit on something that in the big picture doesn’t really matter. Think about it, when you’re on your death bed, will you or anyone else really care how many followers you had on Instagram? No one is going to write So-And-So had one thousand followers on Instagram in an obituary. I least I hope not.
What is a rich life? I don’t have the answer to this question. If I did, I’d write a book on the topic. I can tell you that spending less time on my phone makes me happier. I can tell you that being mindful of the present and appreciating what I have gives me more joy. I can tell you that being with those who I love and care about makes me feel fulfilled. But, happiness is determined by each of us. We form our own path. We are our own navigators and explorers. We are the artist of our life’s canvas.
I’m not trying to sound preachy. I’m just saying, next time you pick up your phone, put it back in your pocket and look at what’s going on around you. If you’re outside, close your eyes and let the sun kiss your face. If you’re at home, listen to some great music instead. If you’re out with a friend, enjoy the time you have with them.

The Otago Nuggets have withdrawn from the National Basketball League for the second time in five years due to financial constraints.
The Nuggets also pulled out of the NBL in 2009 for similar reasons.
It's unclear whether the franchise will return in 2016.
NBL chairman Sam Rossiter-Stead says the Otago franchise decided it needed time out to regroup, and he's sure it's not going to be terminal.
Rossiter-Stead says income is always a challenge, especially in today's climate, but most teams are run successfully and enter year on year.
However Waikato, Auckland and Canterbury have also all withdrawn from the league for a short time in recent years, begging the question whether the current national model is sustainable.
A way of limiting travel costs to make it financially viable, such as a North Island and South Island conference, would also limit the appeal of the competition, as teams like the Nuggets would only meet other top outfits such as the Wellington Saints in the finals.
A lack of television coverage doesn't help bring in financial support either. In recent years Sky TV has only broadcast the weekend-long final four playoffs format that decides the NBL winner, while a deal with Maori TV was short-lived.

Actor Geoffrey Rush has been "virtually housebound" since news stories were published detailing "inappropriate behaviour" by him, according to his lawyer.
In an affidavit filed on Monday with the Federal Court, Nicholas Pullen said Rush, 66, rarely left his home for three months after two stories and a newsagent poster were published by The Daily Telegraph in late 2017 alleging the actor behaved inappropriately towards another cast member during a 2015-16 production of King Lear by the Sydney Theatre Company.
Mr Pullen, a partner at HWL Ebsworth, submitted to the court a folder of international articles which, he said, link Rush to the "#MeToo" movement against sexual misconduct.
He said Rush has since lost his appetite and barely eats, is full of anxiety when he goes out in public, wakes up each morning with a terrible sense of dread about his future career, requires medication for lack of sleep and anxiety and believes his worth to the community is now "irreparably damaged".
"[He] is seriously concerned about the ongoing effect on his children and his wife," Mr Pullen said.
Rush launched defamation action against the Telegraph's publisher Nationwide News and journalist Jonathon Moran in December, saying the publications portrayed him as a "pervert" and "sexual predator".
The Telegraph has denied its articles were defamatory and says they were matters of proper and legitimate public interest.
In a hearing on Monday, the court heard the Telegraph has now named in court documents a previously "confidential" source who provided information about Rush.
The Sydney Theatre Company source, formerly labelled "confidential source 3", had already been named in the documents, attributing one published quote to them. However, the newspaper's amended defence now links them to eight pieces of information told to the Telegraph.
Three additional sources remain confidential.
The newspaper is attempting to file a cross-claim against the theatre company, alleging the STC sent out statements about Rush that were clearly intended for publication and did not point out any inaccuracies in the story when it was read to a publicist over the phone.
Rush's barrister Sue Chrysanthou said the cross-claim was "very unusual indeed" and "doomed to fail".
"What we have is a journalist ringing a person and asking for information for a story - there's no suggestion whatsoever in this cross-claim that the STC instigated the story," Ms Chrysanthou said.
"Mr Moran telephoned the STC and asked the STC to provide an official comment. The STC complied with that request, and now it is being sued.
"So what News Limited is saying - and I don't think News Limited has ever said this before, it's a novel claim - is when it rings a person and asks for information for a story, it's appropriate to sue that person for complying with that request."
Defence barrister Alec Leopold, SC, accused Ms Chrysanthou of using the court to "muckrake" when she said the Telegraph's legal team were "treating this litigation like a game".
The case is expected to go to trial in the first two weeks of December before Justice Michael Wigney.
It will return to court on Friday.

The development of the technology has always been extremely aided by the power of electricity. This is why it can be named as the blood of the new world. Everything that is involved with it are quite complicated. That is why you only should hire the best ones to get your electrical jobs done.
Here are 5 tips to hire the best ones in the field.
When it comes to electrical matters, no risk should be disregarded no matter how small they are. In fact, true professionals understand the fact that it is essential that they are licensed to do what they do. In addition, find out if the person is capable of acting as an emergency electrician Sutherland Shire because that is incredibly beneficial in the long run. Typically, if they represent a reputed organization, you won’t have to worry about it, but if they’re working solo, you must inquire and ensure.
When you are given the opportunity to check on how well they have performed in their previous jobs, you can logically decide whether they fit your job or not. If you could, it is ideal to have a brief phone conversation and attain the best picture.
When you are working alone, there is no one above you to answer. The responsibility and the reliability naturally drops down to a lower level. But if your electrical professional is representing a reputed organization, there will always be a number of people who will be responsible for your employee’s actions. You will never get an assurance like this if you hired someone who works on his own.
Different people have different skills and interests in the field of electrical matters. For an instance, let us assume that you are looking forwards to get a data cabling job done for your new office. For this, you must specifically request the service of an expert who has done more than enough identical jobs so that your job will be done in the best way. This is another reason why you should hire professionals from reputed companies; they never send the amateurs.
You should never settle down for the first professional that you come across, unless your gut says that it just doesn’t get better than that. You can always compare and contrast the quotations of your top candidates and select the best. However, remember not to solely depend on the price. You must always avoid that serious mistake.
There are many different factors and features that you have to go through when acquiring electrical services. But if you stick to these 5 tips, you have the highest chance of hiring the best ones out there.

If you would like an indoor shelter for the café in Myatt’s, please come along to the café on Monday at 1pm and give us your support.
We have applied to the Western Riverside Environmental Fund for money to build a new shelter for the café – something requested by a large number of people in our recent survey.
No firm plans for the shelter exist at the moment but the principles are that it would be “demountable” (ie could be taken apart easily) and built in the corner of the wildlife area next to the café. Its position would mean that it would also act as an observatory for the wildlife area.
Any heating for the shelter would be as sustainable as possible and could come from a wood burning oven (also used to cook for the café). It would be designed so local people can help build it over a weekend, and with sensitivity to its beautiful setting.
The funder will want to know that this is something local people do want, and so your support will be very welcome.
We are inviting local people to come along and say a big thank you to Saxa and Josh for all their hard work in the café over the past two years.
The small party will take place outside the café from 3pm to 5pm on 31st March and will include free cake for all comers.
If anyone would like to contribute to their leaving gifts (including ideas!) please drop off donations at the Old Depot (next to the greenhouse). If Rebecca, Kasia or Victoria are in, please leave donations with them, or they can be dropped into the letter box on the side of the depot.
We welcome donations of cake for the party, and also would be grateful if people could volunteer to cover staffing the café for those hours.
Join us in the greenhouse for a gardening session and free lunch during our open greenhouse day on 1st April 2012.
We’ll be clearing and planting at the greenhouse from 11.30am to 2pm, with a free lunch provided by our Food Heroes programme at 1pm. If anyone would like to help cook, please turn up at 11am.
All retired people are invited to enjoy a freshly cooked lunch every Friday at the depot meeting room from noon to 2pm. Vegetables and fruit growing in the greenhouse will be used whenever possible in the meals that are prepared.
Everyone is invited to come along on Saturday 24th March and learn how to make pies during our Food Heroes session, which will run in the depot meeting room from 10.30am to 1pm.
Our Food Heroes programme means we employ local people to teach other local people about the food they know and love. Everyone cooks together and eats the food afterwards.

If we have to give something, think of a netbook as something possible and not so distant. The large number of models and brands that currently exist increase competition and allow lower prices drastically, increasingly more, and in the future a lot more. Samsung Electronics is a great source of information. The large amount of discounts that offer the home appliances to compete, allows us to take advantage of one of these offers at the right time. The size of these machines is ideal for multiple purposes and people. It is of medium size, with a monitor of about 11 inches, which makes them lightweight and transportable.
Both to see films quietly at home, such as a trip or a moment of waiting, and to play music, is an ideal multimedia platform. Today, with the high processing power concentrated in small spaces, low consumption, and low weight, this is possible. The characteristics that complement this assertion are also a monitor between 10 and 11 inches, your speakers. Its connection with wifi can go to any cafe with internet access and surf the internet from quickly and without cables.

Project description:The interaction between fungal pathogen and host during infection is a complex and dynamic process. To resolve this, we chose the zebrafish model organism as the host to study C. albicans infection via systems biology approach. Transcriptome microarray data and histological analysis of surviving fish were sampled at different post-infection time points. The dynamic variations of significant genes expression profiles in C. albicans and zebrafish were concurrently analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA results clearly indicated that the infection of C. albicans can be divided into three phases that include adhesion, invasion and damage phases. The results were highly consistent with subsequent histological analysis. Furthermore, we found the primary ontology function of genes with significant variations in both C. albicans and zebrafish is iron related. Most of the iron related genes in C. albicans were over-expressed in late stage, while most of the iron related genes in zebrafish were suppressed at the same phase of infection. It suggested that the iron homeostasis function of the host was shut-down when massive hemorrhage in zebrafish occurred during later stages of infection. At the same time, the iron scavenging function of C. albicans was activated. This implied the competition for iron is an important issue between the host and the fungal pathogen during infection. When we administered excess iron into the microenvironment of infection site, the infection process was significantly delayed. That indicated the virulence of C. albicans is correlated with its protein-bond iron scavenging strategies. Our finings not only provided dynamic mechanistic views of the iron competition but also highlighted the potential regulatory schemes in fungal pathogenesis. Each fish was intraperitoneally injected with C. albicans cells and these infected fish were collected at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 18 hpi. 0.625μg of Cy3 cRNA for C. albicans array and 1.65 μg of Cy3 cRNA for zebrafish array was fragmented to an average size of about 50-100 nucleotides by incubation with fragmentation buffer at 60°C for 30 minutes. Each time points contain three biological repeat. For C. albicans array, each biological repeat has two technical replicate.

How long does a naturopathic consultation go for?
Your first Naturopathic visit may take up to one hour as this is the time when we gather all the relevant information we need to make an appropriate assessment and come up with a treatment plan. You will be advised of this every step of the way. Your return visit may take about half an hour and during this time we will look at your improvement/changes since your last visit.
What can I expect from naturopathic treatment?
Michelle will talk to you about your diet, day-to-day life, exercise and work commitments. Michelle also uses iridology, pulse and tongue diagnosis and kinesiology muscle testing. Michelle will then recommend any changes and remedies she thinks you might need ie herbs, vitamin/mineral supplements, flower essences, exercise or relaxation techniques.
What is involved in an acupuncture treatment?
During your first visit, Michelle will ask you questions about your health, look at your tongue and take your pulse. She will then use very fine, sterile needles at particular points on your body as indicated by her assessment. Michelle may also use cupping/guasha, massage or recommend herbs/supplements to help support your health.
Acupuncture is based on the traditional chinese medicine theory of channels or meridians that run through your body, which for example, may need to be balanced, or energised, to improve your health.
Your first visit may take one hour or longer, which includes the time you have acupuncture. Follow-up visits can take up to 30-45 minutes, depending on whether you have massage/cupping with your acupuncture treatment.
What can naturopathy & acupuncture treat?
Naturopathy & Acupuncture can be used to treat many conditions affecting many different parts of your body ie digestive, nervous system, endocrine, reproductive and musculo-skeletal. Or they can be used to help improve your energy or general well-being (which translates as the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy).
How long do I need to have treatment for?
It depends on what you present with of course, but you may need a number of treatments over a period of couple of months in the acute stage, and you may both agree to continue maintenance treatment every month or bi-monthly, but that’s entirely up to you.
No, we have a comprehensive dispensary of nutritional supplements, western herbal medicines and some Chinese herbal remedies in tablet form. We also have Chinese liniments available.
If you have any western medicine blood tests or examination results, please bring copies of these along to your first appointment.

A FIVE-MONTH-OLD baby boy from Cebu City is the latest measles fatality in the region, according to records of the Department of Health (DOH) 7.
He is the 10th measles fatality in Central Visayas so far this year.
Dr. Jeanette Pauline Cortes, Medical Officer IV of DOH 7, said the Regional Epidemiology Surveillance Unit 7 has recorded a total of 1,058 measles cases from Jan. 1 to March 18 this year.
This is 1,026 percent higher compared to the same period last year.
Cebu City has the highest number of measles cases among the localities in the region with 322 cases.
Dr. Jonathan Neil Erasmo, chief of the Local Health Support Division of DOH 7, said that as of March 18, there is still a measles outbreak in the region.
“However, the number of measles cases is plateauing. Hopefully by last week of March or first two weeks of April, our measles cases will drop. That’s what we’re expecting,” he said, explaining that the increase in the number of cases occurs at a slower rate in comparison with earlier phases.
Cortes said that on the 35th day of the measles outbreak response, the DOH has vaccinated a total of 301,961 individuals.
Of the number, 120,697 are six to 59 months old. This is equivalent to 49.45 percent of the targeted 244,091 population in that age group, she said.
“We also received 6,000 measles rubella vials to augment the logistics of the Province and the local government units,” Cortes added.
Meanwhile, the DOH 7 has recorded a total of 5,339 dengue cases with 33 deaths from Jan. 1 to March 19.
The number is 234 percent higher compared to the same period last year.
The DOH called on the rural health units and the local government units to ensure that households that store water do so properly to avoid creating breeding sites for dengue-carrying mosquitoes.

It snowed on December 5, 2009. We were excited, since we don't get much snow around here in the Middle Atlantic states. So we took some pictures. But on December 19, we had 30" followed by three weeks of sub freezing temperatures. It finally was on the way out by the end of January 2010 when another eight inches arrived. I plowed and then and left for another country. During my absense, another four snow inches showed up, followed by the promise of another 24" on the Friday I was coming back. That 28" of snow cake arrived and was promptly iced by another six inches three days later. Six storms, 76 inches. Remember, that's Virginia.
Here's the start of it - Friday, December 18. Here it's only two or three inches.
By Saturday morning, we had about 25". The yard tub is barely visible above the Round Garden and Pergola (that's pronounced per'-go-la, not per-go'-la) The old vines hold lots of snow.
Junior schleping around in the snow, when it was still sort of novel. She get's the chore of shoveling a 8" wide path about 10 feet. Then I finish.
All shovelled. This is Sunday morning. I had already been out with the pickup (seems we had a crisis at the mines on Saturday night). The fence pickets are 42" tall, so you get an idea of the depth.
Sunday morning, figuring out what to do about the roof glacier. This was before I figured out my great warm coat and pants.
Using the EF-3 to clean up some ice paving. This was on Christmas eve. The ice chunks were result of three or four days of driving the truck on the snow pack. This gave me practice should I ever have a big hoe and have to remove pavement. Dump Truck is of no use since the ice absorbs gravel and I prefer gravel in the driveway.
A few weeks later. The snow pile has shrunk and the driveway is clear (just the part I broke up above). Note where I store the bucket on the EF-3. This makes it much easier to connect, but dangerously menacing to slipping into the side of some high dollar tuner coming to visit. The front wall is starting to emerge - of all the years to have the coldest, wettest, heavingiest winter.
Here's the third snow storm, coming on January 27, 2010 - this one was six inches or so. Buster tolerates it for about a five minutes. He's tired of it too.
Looking towards the Pergola for reference, as this third storm recoated all that had melted from the December 20 storm.
Storm #4 came the week after the above, but I wasn't here to see it. I had just returned from far away lands for #5, on February 5, 2010, the second really big one. Here, Junior starts pushing the north blow off the porch.
Normally, tractors are fun. But when the wheels slip and the back blade acts like a rudder, its not. Here, I perservere through blinding snow fall. Note the $15 coat and cool snow pant overalls. Makes me feel like Charlie Brown (can't bend at the joints), but I'm warm and dry.
Junior and Buster poke around that evening, looking for the ground. Buster doesn't like to walk around in the snow. Seems to be too much like water.
Evening shot of the garage and its snow wreath. See the little yellow sticks? These help me see where the road is so I can throw gravel into the yard instead of sod.
Another Sunday morning, this time its February 14. Maybe not a full 24" there, but it was everywhere else! I know it was. Maybe it had all melted by this time, cause it may have been a week later.
The house and garage, pummeled by the blanket of air frost.
Here's the Ironman Pickup. Its the only thing that can get around on our flatless driveways. Here it sits after a test drive around the 6.9' wide driveway plow job, a result of pulling a seven foot blade around at an angle. The truck is about 7' wide so it uses its tires and body to clear a trail.
This baby's waiting for Spring - no cold weather driving for it. The Dump Truck likes it high and dry (and warm). It looks better this way too. It'll wait till spring since that's when it gets new quarterly plates anyway.
The driveway exiting to the east. This is where the sharp turn can throw you into the guard rails of the driveway. Its also the place that's very hard to see when plowing. So I put in these little yellow stakes to mark the road. They work better than the rebar ones that pierce the body and tires of cars that can't see their 1/4" width.
Another view of the little yellow Dump Truck, this time with the permanent little red wagon impaled in the snow blanket. Note the road markers on this side also.
Here's a common view. Its on the driveway and front wall pages. In this mode, you can see the secondary snow/gravel storage mound. When we were kids, pop would pile up snow like this. We would tunnel miles and miles of tunnel through these mounds. I expect it was more like a few inches into the base of one. But memories become richer over time.
Finally, we see Blanche and Magic. Here Blanche bogarts the goat house. Magic has to stand outside until its really windy. Then Blanche goes in and Magic has to stand across the door.

The follow up to the first season of the recently released YURUYURI is a thing. Earlier today, NIS America announced that YURUYURI Season 2 is set to continue the charming series, starring the lovable cast of Akari, Kyoko, Yui and Chinatsu as the four sole members of the middle school Amusement club, next year. In true NISA fashion, this second season will come complete in a premium package and launch in North America on January 7, 2014. The bundle will be packaged in a collectible slipcase including 2 Blu-ray discs and the traditional hardcover art book filled with loads of information and detailed art from the series. The show will run 286 minutes and come with B-side episode previews in addition to clean opening and ending segments.
As mentioned, the second season will pick up where the first left off with the Amusement club no longer in danger of being broken up by the student council. Now, its members, Akari Akaza, Kyoko Toshino, Yui Funami and Chinatsu Yoshikawa, can finally shift their attentions, and focus on less pressing matters such as merely amusing themselves. More or less allied with each other now, the members of both organizations embark on even more wacky antics and general debauchery. Needless to say, if you were digging the first season, odds are you’re going to feel right at home with this second one. So be on the lookout for it when it drops in just a couple months.

Savarino served as General Contractor for this urban infill project on the east side of Buffalo, NY. The first phase, which began in March of 2008 and ended in April of 2009, entailed the construction of 59 new living units and an administrative building on vacant land in and around the existing project.
Financing for the project came from several private and public sources. A portion of the capital for the project came from the sale of Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits issued through the New York State Department of Housing and Community Renewal.

When I'm not following a black Lab around, I spend an awful lot of my time bowhunting public-land for whitetails and other critters. This, as you can imagine, requires a lot of scouting. Long before I had kids, this meant that I'd slip on a pair of knee-highs and start covering ground.
These days, my time is far more limited. That means it's necessary to use whatever tools are available to find hunting hotspots without having to devote hours to hiking randomly across the landscape. In the deer world, this is no secret and is a popular way to get a good idea of what the woods offers in the form of ambush sites. For waterfowlers, it seems as if high-tech scouting hasn't caught on as much.
Part of this is due to the fact that many of us have our near-and-dear spots, which play into our hunting traditions and preferences. I get that, and I've got a few blinds that feel like home. But I also love to find new places to hunt, especially close-to-home gems I might not have realized existed without a little research. These spots are my back-ups, or simply become the places I'll go to in order to get a wood-duck fix for an hour or two before it's time to get into the office.
Scouting waterfowl spots via satellite imagery is a way to get on some ducks that might not be on your radar.
Of course, with the right research you might find a new area that will be something truly special. Last fall, a good buddy of mine found one of these spots in north-central Wisconsin. At some point, likely half of a decade or more ago, someone dug out a good-sized, L-shaped pond in their woods. It's a wood duck and mallard magnet, and I have no doubt that for years it was off limits to the public. Today, it's in a tax-advantage program that allows for public hunting.
The pond isn't visible from a road, requires enough of a hike to dissuade most weekend warriors, and looks like an awful lot of the water in the county. But it's got something that the ducks like, and it's a rare day that you can sit there at sunrise and not take the safety off several times.
My buddy located the pond through the same tools we use for bowhunting deer â€” mainly aerial photography.
Satellite imagery has changed everything for some of us. If you target mule deer, elk or whitetails throughout the year, it's a crutch that is always worth leaning on. If you're a duck hunter, you should probably be scouring the treasure trove of images as well.
Satellite imagery can reveal hidden hotspots that are open to the public. Identify some potential areas and then take a hike into them to decide whether they are worth hunting.
While Google Earth was the first truly accessible public program, there are several available now that offer sportsmen more. A personal favorite is onX maps. Their Elite membership allows you to pick five states and peruse high-quality aerial photography at your leisure.
They also offer overlays of landowners, and provide easy identification of public land. This matters â€” a lot. If you're looking for a way to access a backwater slough, or see an oxbow lake that looks too good to be true, you can figure out who owns it or if there is public access. Keep in mind that on a state-by-state basis, the legality of access into navigable water varies a lot. Know the laws before you start looking for potential hotspots so that you understand at the onset whether your findings are worthy of the next step.
When I find intriguing waterholes tucked into publicly accessible spots, I mark them on my aerial photography and then get ready to take a hike. There is a disconnect between a beyond-the-clouds satellite view and what you'll actually see in person. Some spots look dreamy on your computer, but in person they are marshy messes that are unapproachable and unhuntable.
After using satellite imagery to find potential waterfowl hotspots, slip in and take a look around. Generally, if you see ducks now, you'll see ducks when the season is open.
Get in and really look. I carry binoculars and biodegradable flagging tape or reflective tacks so I can find my way back in, should I deem the spot worthy of a morning or two. The binoculars are for some long-range observation. Oftentimes, if a waterhole is worth it, there will be ducks or geese there throughout the summer. Plus, with binos I can take a cursory look at a place and decide if it's worth getting in for a closer look.
If you do find a place that gets your spidey senses tingling, make sure you figure out the best way to hunt it. Some of my best spots consist of a point of poplars poking out toward a half-acre cattail swamp in the middle of hundreds of acres of public land. Others are simply wide creek bends, or a patch of higher ground in a slough. Make sure you do more than identify a good location, but also locate the best spot in which to hunt it. That summertime work, complete with the heat and the bugs, will not seem worth it in July. In October or November, it will be invaluable.
Borrow a page from the public-land bowhunter's playbook and use satellite imagery to find your next duck hotspot. It'll take some time perusing the internet on your smartphone to find some potential honey-holes and then some boots-on-the-ground work, but once you get a great spot squared away, it'll all be worth it.

Stop motion technique has been used for years to transform objects into locomotive beings. Mostly stop motion is used in the film industry and at one time, it was long thought to move the objects by magic. Stop-motion has been used in several other motion picture films like King Kong (1933), Clash of the Titans (1981), Star Wars Trilogy, and many of Tim Burton’s films like The Nightmare before Christmas (1993) and The Corpse Bride (2005), and much more.
There are a few basic concepts that every aspiring young filmmaker would want to keep in mind.
Stop motion isn’t time lapse. On one side, stop motion is an animation technique that physically manipulates an object, so it looks to move on its own by moving the object between the individually photographed frames. This method helps to creates the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a constant sequence. On the other side, time lapse is utilized by taking still photographs of a live environment at constant intervals so that the frequency at which film frames are captured is lower than used to view the sequence. So, when played at constant speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing.
Taking your time to completely embody the movement of whatever object it is you want to work with is critical. As you will need to create every move look as real as possible to the viewer. The other thing to keep in mind is that movements that are closer will slow down the action, while movements that are notably apart will speed it up.
Not every movement happen in the straight line, because if they did, we will all appear to be floating, it is essential to implement the curved path of the movement known as an arc. Using arcs in animation will create a realistic movement that is natural to the eyes.
Always stagger movement by some frames to create a real and natural animation. This technique becomes incredibly important when dealing with the complex scenes including the multiple objects moving separately or elaborate movement of one character.
Other great things to mention is that stop motion can be utilized in both 2D and 3D animations. In 2D animation, you draw out the characters you want to work within your film by either drawing them on paper, capturing a photo and repeating these steps or using a cut out of objects you want to work with and then giving them a free range of motion in the film. The other avenue for stop motion is in 3D animation using clay or play-doh objects, action figures and much more.
The brass tacks of it are that stop motion is pretty neat, and it is a technique for everyone that is an aspiring filmmaker or videographer interested in the breathing life into inanimate objects.

South Cerney, UK, November 20 2017 – Leading provider of compatible optical networking infrastructure, ProLabs, has introduced its latest development to the world of transceivers with its new high-speed SFP- NBase-T transceiver.
Ideal for bi-directional communication over copper cable, the NBase-T transceiver module is a high-performance integrated duplex data link, with the ability to support 2.5G transfer speeds at cable lengths of up to 100M using Cat5e cabling and 5G using Cat 6 Cabling.
“More than 90% of structured cabling installed between 2003-2014 (approximately 70 billion meters) has been CAT5/6, with current technologies’ throughput on these cable types limited to 1Gbps. This will be a bottleneck to delivering bandwidth available from end points such as 802.11ac that have the capability to deliver greater than 1.3 Gbps with Wave 1 and greater than 2.3 Gbps with emerging Wave 2 products,” said Tony Lefebvre, VP Products & Marketing at ProLabs.
With the advent of 802.11ac with Wave 2 Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) products delivering greater than 2.3 Gbps, customers need to address the backhaul connectivity which in the case of CAT5/6 is limited to 1Gbps with current technologies. When replacing existing previous generation AP’s, the NBASE-T transceiver enables customers to keep their CAT5/6 infrastructure intact while delivering the throughput required by the newly added 802.11ac AP.
HD CCTV and high-performance computing also benefit from NBase-T’s greater throughput, allowing these and other bandwidth hungry applications to run at a higher rate over existing infrastructure, not only improving end user quality of experience but deferring costly cabling infrastructure replacement programs.
The IEEE-802.3bz/NBase-T transceiver is SFF-8431 and SF-8432 MSA compliant with low power consumption and EMI emissions. It also features MDI/MDIX crossover with unshielded and shielded cable support, multiple loopback modes for testing and troubleshooting, built-in cable monitoring and link diagnostic features, and robust die cast housing.

ProLabs is committed to transforming network connectivity. As a leading global provider of compatible optical network solutions, the company offers an extensive range of high-quality products including optical and copper transceivers; direct attach cables, media converters, active optical cables, and fibre cabling. With an unrelenting commitment to quality, service and support, ProLabs is the only mid-tier provider offering customisation and lifetime product warranties.

What did you love best about The Hanged Man?
The interesting characters combined with a well written story.
Although the plot seems difficult to believe it is based on some truth.Our Government had a C.I.A. program to train individuals who had proven ESP powers.
What about Patrice Gambardella’s performance did you like?
She is a good performer who makes the Audio book a pleasant experience.
If you believe in psychics and love a mystery this is the book for you. Mira is a psychic that had a vision of her husband being murdered. And now it's happened again. A man has been murdered and of course the police are skeptics except for Wayne Sheppard. There have been Tarot cards left at the scene of the crime. This is the start of it all. The characters need time to develop so at times is seems the story gets a little slow but well worth the read/listen.
The narrator did an very good job with the characters and the story.
I enjoyed the idea of this story more than the actual tale. Im not sure why but I didn’t feel particular love for the characters. I’m not sure what it was,liked Mira enough but I guess I expected more of a cozy fun style mystery. Instead it was more of a dark psychological style that just felt like it dragged out a little. It wasn’t a horrible story and held my interest good enough I suppose however it’s not one that I would really listen to again. The narrator did do a wonderful job with all the characters and I would certainly listen to her again. I received a free review copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
A great read - 5* all the way. It's a big book at over 11 hours and it is packed with tension and suspense, it is a well crafted tale bringing together lots of "players" in the search for a killer.
Narration is excellent, clear and precise, easy to listen too.
This is the 1st book in the series but is standalone, though I will be reading the next one.
What did you like best about The Hanged Man? What did you like least?
Would you be willing to try another book from T.J. MacGregor? Why or why not?
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Patrice Gambardella?
Do you think The Hanged Man needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I got this copy free, in return for my honest review.
Mira is a psychic who foresaw her husband’s murder 4 years before it happened. She has once again seen a murder in her mind and contacts the police to report it. She is ignored until Detective Wayne Sheppard is put on the murder case and he is open to working with a psychic. The plot is interesting with ex-prisoners with mind controlling capabilities to a very secret Government organization using these psychic powers as a weapon. I enjoyed the characters and plot. I did find that the narration was rushed between chapters and quite often had to rewind this audio book to realize that a new chapter had started.
Psychics and the government. Oh my.
Mira is a psychic and she has had a vision of the murder of a man. She does what she believes is the right thing and notifies the police. The police kind of ignore her because well, she's a psychic and they kind of think of those types of people as wing-nuts. Mira's problem is that her husband was murdered and the police couldn't figure out why she couldn't tell them who had done it or why if she was psychic she didn't warn him. The detective working on the murder of the man that Mira saw contacts her at her business One World to get information about some tarot cards found at the scene. And so it begins. This is just the start of the fleshing out of the back story about the victim, his wife, the husbands partner in the government experiment of prisoners, the kidnapper/murderer and his prison buddies and fellow guinea pigs.

This homemade vegan seitan chicken recipe is easy to make, just 8 ingredients, can be made ahead of time, and once prepared can be used any way that you might have cooked chicken- marinate, bread, fry, crust, bake, grill, BBQ, the options are endless!!!
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and pulse to combine until everything is well mixed and the dough forms a ball. Alternatively, if you do not have a food processor you can mix everything together in a large bowl working the dough until it forms a ball.
Lightly dust a clean work surfaces with a bit of the vital wheat gluten. Turn the dough ball onto the surface and lightly dust the top with a little more vital wheat gluten. The dough will be soft and very sticky so this will help it from sticking to your hands. Do not knead the dough, kneading it will make it tough. Cut the dough ball into 6 pieces and use the tips of your fingers to press each piece of dough into an oval shape about 5" x 6".
Add several inches of water to a large pot with a steamer basket and bring to a simmer. Lightly grease the steamer basket and lay the tenders in the basket. If the tenders need to overlap each other, spray the tenders with a bit of oil to stop them from sticking together. Cover and steam at a simmer for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through so they steam evenly. They will double in size. Make sure to keep it at a gentle simmer for the best texture.
Once steamed, remove the tenders and let cool. Cover or put in an airtight container and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour, or for up to 3 - 4 days. You can either chill the tenders without any additional seasoning, or you could toss the tenders in your favourite marinade. The tenders shrink and firm up a bit when chilled and this results in the best texture.
Once chilled, the tenders are fully cooked and edible, but you can now treat them as you would raw chicken -season and cook them as you desire. The cooking time can be short as they only need to be heated through but prepare them any way that you might prepare a chicken breast. Pan fry or grill them, bread or crust them, slice them for salad, pasta, or stirfry, cut them into nuggets, add them to burritos, tacos, or sandwiches. The options are endless!
*If the end appearance of the tenders is important to you, make sure to allow lots of room around each tender to expand. You may want to steam the tenders in batches as when they overlap each other they can sometimes end up as weird shapes. This won't matter if you plan on slicing them, but you can consider it if you plan to serve the tenders whole.
*To freeze the tenders, let them cool completely before freezing. Freeze in an airtight freezer bag or container. You can freeze them plain or in the marinade of your choice.

Hi, My mother-in-law was diagnosed last May with Stage III A breast cancer. She had a masectomy done followed by 6 chemo treatments and then 6 weeks of radiation. She was HER 2+ and was immediately put on Herceptin. This past June she was diagnosed with Brain metastases that are inoperable. She is now undergoing Whole brain radiation with dexamethasone 3x a day. I've talked to doctors and understand a little bit but I was really wanting to hear from other people who had experienced this and what to expect in the coming months. My mother-in-law agreed to treatment but wants absolutely no other information other then when to go for her appointments. My fiancee and I just feel so lost right now. If anyone wouldn't mind sharing their experience with me, we would very much appreciate it.
I do not know much about Brain Mets but I do know that they are treatable.
You may want to post this on the her2group section. I believe you will get more responses.
So sorry about your MIL's progression.
Type 'Brain mets' and/or 'brain metastases', and 'whole brain radiation' in the 'Search' window and you will find previous discussions on the subject.
Also check the 'signatures' of those who have posted on the 'long-time survivors' or 'long-term survivor' threads, you will find many inspirational stories and miracles.
There are many people surviving even stage IV - it's now regarded as a 'chronic illness' in many cases.
I'm glad you are working diligently supporting your Mother-in-law. I lost mine 1 1/2 year ago to Alzheimer's and we've missed her dearly.

TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — A leak at a Southern California oil refinery prompted warning sirens to go off in the surrounding community before it was contained.
A statement from the Exxon Mobil refinery says air monitoring turned up no danger to the public and an “all-clear” notice was given minutes later.
The Torrance Fire Department says the leak on an 8-inch crude oil pipeline caused a large column of smoke to leave the refinery and hover over the neighborhood. Residents were told to stay in their homes and close their windows, but the leak was contained soon after.
Exxon Mobil says the release consisted mostly of steam.
The same refinery was crippled by a February explosion that slightly injured four contractors, heavily damaged equipment and rained ash on homes and cars.
The company announced last month that it is selling the refinery for $537 million to PBF Energy Inc.

Because so many drivers will not be obtainable online, it can be a fairly challenging challenge to attempt to obtain each individual expired driver on your personal computer.
When you make an effort to fix a certain crisis that derives from the bad HP DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom Device recognize that other drivers could possibly have become jeopardised by way of the damaged code, and consequently really need bringing up-to-date too. Now and again, a bad HP DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom Device might even trigger infrequent home pc shut downs, that might affect your job, and end in your not being able to restore unsaved data.
The moment HP DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom Device gets bad a large number of negative effects may become apparent, not the smallest of which is often a slow or declining internet association. Eliminating most of the functionality issues that come about because of an out of date driver is possible through getting hold of the most up-to-date variants as early as possible. Speedily scanning for out of date drivers, and automatically accessing and installing each driver at its right destination are attributes typically shared by every one of the commercial driver scanners available over the internet.
All driver scanners handle the files instantly without needing your intervention and with out requiring you to type in the driver specifics. In the event you opt to proceed through manual setting up of HP DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom Device, keep in mind that the windows device manager may not normally provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding the driver component brand. Bear in mind, your computer's drivers carry out a very critical function in maintaining the reliable connection involving all the hardware and the ui. Once a driver gets corrupt it tends to corrupt many other units which are in direct interconnection with it and so could negatively affect the functioning of a number of systems that are thought to be unrelated to the original location.

PLX-3397 is also called Pexidartinib. MK-3475 is now Pembrolizumab (Keytruda brand in the US).
The purpose of this phase 1/2 study is to establish the safety of the combination of these 2 agents in any solid tumor, and in the phase 2 component to establish whether there is a preliminary signal of activity/efficacy in selected solid tumors including metastatic TNBC. MK-3475 has been FDA approved in other tumor types such as melanoma and non small cell lung cancer. MK-3475 is an antibody that is an immunotherapy drug belonging to the PD-1 class. Inhibiting PD-1 removes the brakes on T cells, so that they may kill tumor cells. PLX-3397 is a multi-target small molecule inhibitor that works via inhibiting various signaling pathways. The target that is thought to be most relevant across cancers is CSF1R (colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor) that induces proliferation of immune cells known as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TAMs are thought to be important in breast cancer and IBC because they secrete factors that increase the aggressiveness of the IBC cells, including increasing invasion/further metastasis. TAMs can suppress natural anti-tumor immunity. For this reason, the combination of CSF-1 inhibition and PD-1 inhibitors are thought to better activate the immune system than either drug alone.
While this is not an IBC-specific trial, it does make sense as a novel strategy in patients who have not responded to standard chemotherapies. Currently there are no FDA-approved immunotherapies in IBC (1 other IBC specific trial), however there is increasing preclinical research on the roles of cells in the tumor microenvironment that contribute to bad outcomes. In terms of the value of MK-3475 in IBC, it is known that IBC tumors frequently express PD-L1 (~38% are positive), a protein that binds to PD-1 and actively turns off T cells so the tumor cells can hide from the immune system. MK-3475 can disrupt this loop so that the immune system can recognize and kill tumor cells around the body.
There are a number of other studies in adult populations with both drugs (individually) that have demonstrated the safety profile. A larger body of data exists regarding MK-3475. These results suggest that this drug appears tolerable without major serious side effects. An example of the frequency of side effects may be found in this abstract presented at ASCO in 2014. Since this drug is now FDA approved in several disease settings, the drug information website is www.keytruda.com. PLX-3997 is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor that works via several signaling pathways that are important for tumor cell survival. There is less clinical information about PLX-3397 however multiple phase 1-3 studies are underway, including more than one in breast cancer. There is a recent publication (2015) about a phase 1/2 trial in adults with different solid tumors which demonstrated the side effects to be relatively minor. According to this study, the most common side effects were fatigue, changes in hair color, nausea, unpleasant taste and swelling around the eye – however these problems were rarely severe enough to cause drug discontinuation.
This trial is a broad phase 1/2 study open to patients with various solid tumors. In the phase 1 (safety and dose-escalation) part, IBC patients with any subtype are eligible. If the combination proceeds into phase 2, then only IBC patients who have triple negative disease are eligible. Importantly for both parts, metastatic or refractory disease is required. For IBC patients who are diagnosed already metastatic, this trial cannot be the first line of treatment. Prior treatment with immunotherapy drugs is only permitted in the dose-escalation phase (phase 1), but not in the dose-expansion TNBC-only phase (phase 2). Also in the phase 2 portion, you must have biopsy-accessible tumors for correlative science.
There are several washout periods that apply to prior treatment – 28 days since other antibodies, or 14 days for chemotherapy, radiation or targeted therapies.
MK-3475 is an infusion. PLX-3397 is a pill you will take daily. The scheduling of these will be explained to you if you enroll. However, the cycle will be 42 days long, and you will have appointments frequently with the trial team to monitor the side effects of the combination.
The trial is open at 5 sites in Arizona, California, Michigan and Texas. The information for each site is in the section below.

The Nechako Figure Skating Club will be hosting a Cariboo North Central regional competition, Kla-How-Ya for the first time in seven years.
Over 130 figure skaters from across northern B.C. are putting their routines to the test in Vanderhoof’s arena this weekend.
From Dec. 2 to 4, the Nechako Figure Skating Club will be hosting a Cariboo North Central regional competition, titled Kla-How-Ya, for the first time in seven years.
The world Kla-How-Ya, meaning “welcome” in indigenous languages, was also used as the name of Vanderhoof-hosted competitions in the past, said competition chair Jody Pedersen.
Skaters, varying in age from Grade 1 to 12 and hailing from as far as Williams Lake and Kitimat, will be competing in age categories as well as events, such as bronze and gold interpretive and team elements.
A jamboree for young entry-level skaters will kick off the weekend event on Friday morning at 8 a.m., and the competition ends on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
Eight-year-old Dyllan Beal, who has been skating for two and a half years, will be competing in the Star 2 Quad Threat category.
Practising two to four times a week since mid-September, she’s excited — and “just a little bit nervous” — about the upcoming event, she said.
Her favourite move is the salchow jump.
Six-year-old Kinsley Beal, in her second year of skating, training went well this year and is excited for the event, she said. She will be competing in the individual Star 1 Quad Threat category.
Nechako Figure Skating Club’s annual Christmas ice show will take place in the following week on Dec. 10.

Personal injury lawsuits can arise in any number of ways, and many times they involve situations where both parties to the lawsuit are somewhat at fault for the injuries and damages that were suffered by the plaintiff. The fact of the matter is that not all personal injury lawsuits are cut-and-dried where one party is completely to blame for the result, and the laws of California have dealt with this reality with a legal concept known as comparative negligence.
Below you”ll find information regarding how California comparative negligence works, how it would generally play out in a personal injury lawsuit and finally how you should proceed if you or someone you love has been harmed and needs the help of an experienced San Francisco personal injury lawyer.
The concept of comparative negligence in California began to take on its modern form in 1975 with a case entitled, Li v. Yellow Cab Co. That case involved a traffic accident where the plaintiff made a turn across three lanes of traffic and was hit by the defendant”s vehicle which was speeding at the time. Up until that point, California had basically followed an “all or nothing” rule in which the plaintiff would not recover damages if he or she was partially at fault for the resulting damages.
This ruling changed that concept and allowed for the plaintiff to recover damages based on what would become known as a “pure” comparative fault standard. This concept has since been altered slightly with subsequent decisions to ultimately form what is known as the California comparative fault standard that”s used today.
Today, if someone is injured and he or she is partially at fault, that person can still file a California personal injury lawsuit seeking damages. However, in the “pure” comparative fault standard, that plaintiff”s damages award will be reduced by the percentage of fault that the court assigns to the plaintiff.
For instance, if a plaintiff is seeking $100,000 in damages and is found to be 60 percent at fault, he or she would still recover $40,000 in damages. This result also explains the “pure” comparative fault model in that the plaintiff can be more than 50 percent at fault for injuries incurred and still recover the portion of damages equal to the amount that he or she was not at fault for the result.
In order to pursue a personal injury lawsuit successfully within this system, however, someone who has been injured needs to present his or her case with skill and persuasiveness.
If you or someone you love has been harmed, even if you were partially at fault, you should seek the help of experienced San Francisco personal injury lawyers who have years of experience in winning verdicts under this system for clients. Contact the Scarlett Law Group today to schedule a free initial consultation.
