BACKGROUND: Asthma is the eighth leading contributor to the burden of disease in South Africa, but has received less attention than other chronic diseases. The Asthma Guidelines Implementation Project (AGIP) was established to improve the impact of the South African guidelines for chronic asthma in adults and adolescents in the Western Cape. One strategy was an audit tool to assist with assessing and improving the quality of care.
METHODS: The audit of asthma care targeted all primary care facilities that managed adult patients with chronic asthma within all six districts of the Western Cape province. The usual steps in the quality improvement cycle were followed.
RESULTS: Data were obtained from 957 patients from 46 primary care facilities. Only 80% of patients had a consistent diagnosis of asthma, 11.5% of visits assessed control and 23.2% recorded a peak expiratory flow (PEF), 14% of patients had their inhaler technique assessed and 11.2% were given a self-management plan; 81% of medication was in stock, and the controller/reliever dispensing ratio was 0.6. Only 31.5% of patients were well controlled, 16.3% of all visits were for exacerbations, and 17.6% of all patients had been hospitalised in the previous year.
CONCLUSION: The availability of medication and prescription of inhaled steroids is reasonable, yet control is poor. Health workers do not adequately distinguish asthma from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, do not assess control by questions or PEF, do not adequately demonstrate or assess the inhaler technique, and have no systematic approach to or resources for patient education. Ten recommendations are made to improve asthma care.
Asthma is the eighth leading contributor to the burden of disease in South Africa and is the second most important chronic disease after HIV/AIDS.1 Asthma is often not considered particularly serious, but it causes significant morbidity in young and working-age adults that adds to the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in relation to other chronic diseases. The prevalence of recent wheeze in adults is reported as 14.4% in males and 17.6% in females, with a self-reported prevalence of asthma of 3.7% and 3.8% respectively.2 In the Western Cape the prevalence of asthma among children aged 13 - 14 years was 14.4%, slightly above the global average of 13.7%.3,4 The prevalence of asthma in children is rising in sub-Saharan Africa.3
Access to essential drugs for asthma, including inhaled steroids, is better in South Africa than in other sub-Saharan countries. Because of the overwhelming HIV/AIDS epidemic and the primary health care services focus on acute episodic conditions, chronic asthma has not received priority attention. The South African Thoracic Society published new guidelines for chronic asthma in adults and adolescents5 and funded a multifaceted dissemination and implementation strategy in the Western Cape.6 The Asthma Guidelines Implementation Project (AGIP) developed an audit tool to assist primary care facilities with quality assessment and improvement. It aimed to elicit reflection on the quality of care and to plan improvements at facility level. As the first evaluation of the quality of asthma care at provincial level in South Africa it sets a benchmark for future audits and gives valuable insights into asthma care. As the Western Cape is better resourced than other provinces its quality of asthma care is likely to be better than elsewhere.
District health services in the Western Cape province serve 5 million people, of whom 80% are uninsured and depend on the public sector. The province is divided into six districts: Cape Town Metropole, West Coast, Winelands, Overberg, Eden and Karoo, each served by a network of mobiles, clinics, community health centres and district hospitals. First-line primary care is largely provided by clinical nurse practitioners supported by medical officers and pharmacists. Chronic asthma is managed by primary care providers, and acute asthma by district hospitals and, if necessary, regional or tertiary hospitals. Patients with complicated or difficult chronic asthma may be referred to specialists at regional or tertiary levels.
We audited all primary care facilities that managed adult patients with chronic asthma within all six districts of the Western Cape following the quality improvement cycle comprising the following steps:
- Set criteria and performance levels to define target standards (ideal performance)
- Collect data to measure these criteria
- Analyse the data and calculate the actual performance
- Compare ideal and actual performance, reflect and plan changes to improve the quality of care.
Development of target standards and the audit tool
The audit tool was developed by the AGIP advisory group, comprising a pharmacist, 2 nurses, 2 family physicians and 2 pulmonologists, with comments by the Provincial Deputy Director for Chronic Diseases. Criteria were developed for structure, process and outcome and performance levels were defined to create target standards. They were based on the newly published chronic asthma guidelines and literature on asthma audits. The controller/reliever ratio is the ratio of inhaled steroid to beta-2-agonist canisters dispensed over 1 year. A ratio greater than 0.5 suggests that sufficient inhaled steroid is being prescribed and has been associated with better quality of life, better control, fewer symptoms and fewer hospitalisations or exacerbations.7 Structural criteria focused on the availability of equipment, patient education material and medication. Process criteria focused on key activities recorded in the medical record. Outcome criteria relied on interviewing patients on their level of control using the validated Asthma Control Test questionnaire and score.8 Patients were asked about exacerbations and hospitalisations in the past year and their understanding of reliever versus controller medication. Each facility was expected to include 20 randomly or systematically selected asthma patients. The final audit tool consisted of data collection sheets, patient questionnaires in English, Afrikaans and Xhosa, reminders of how to calculate the results, a 1-page summary sheet of the final results, and a user's guide. Materials are available on the Internet at www.pulmonology.co.za.
The audit tool was piloted in a rural district before being finalised. This revealed that staff were reliable as regards collecting raw data from observation, review of the patient records and patient interviews, but poor at simple mathematical calculations to produce results. The tool was time-efficient and the district manager was positive about its utility at district level. Once finalised the Health Information System Project (HISP) created a software package as part of the District Health Information System (DHIS) to automate the calculation of results and provide a 1-page report. The DHIS is used in at least six of the nine provinces of South Africa, although not officially in the Western Cape. The DHIS was offered to facility level staff to assist them in analysing and obtaining their results immediately.
Introductory workshops were held in the six districts, and primary care providers involved in asthma care were invited to attend. Participants were mainly nurses, but included doctors and pharmacists, and came from mobile clinics, fixed clinics, community health centres and district hospitals. They were trained to use the audit tool, the principles of the quality improvement cycle and how to collect and calculate the audit results. The AGIP project manager remained in telephonic contact with the participants and encouraged facilities to complete and return the audit data. Outreach visits were conducted on request to assist with the audit process. In the metropole data collection was more rigorously supported as part of a doctoral research project.
Data were entered into the DHIS Version 4.12 and results calculated at the facility, district and provincial level. A 1-page summary of the results was returned to facilities by fax or e-mail. Follow-up workshops were held in the second half of the year in each district at which participants were asked to reflect on their results, plan changes to improve asthma care and provide feedback on the audit tool.
The key findings of the audit in 46 facilities and 957 patients are shown in Table I.
The target was only reached for 3 of the 16 structural criteria; the availability of a height measure in the facility, oxygen and a nebuliser in the emergency room. Of 7 process criteria the target was only reached for the controller/reliever ratio. None of the outcome criteria was achieved. The Western Cape has better health worker resources than other provinces, and these results would probably be worse elsewhere.
Outcomes of care
The many deficiencies in quality of care contributed significantly to the poor outcomes. Although up to 70% of asthma patients can be well controlled when current guidelines are followed,9 only 31.5% of patients in this audit achieved this outcome. This finding is supported by high rates of hospitalisation, with almost 1 in 5 patients having been hospitalised during the past year and 1 out of every 6 visits to the facility being for an exacerbation. Emergency visits and hospitalisation result in hugely increased health service costs. More effective routine care would improve patient quality of life and save costs.
Many patients appeared to understand the difference between their relievers and their controllers, although this was determined by the interviewer and was open to subjective interpretation. Better adherence can be expected in those who understand the difference between reliever and controller.10
Diagnosis of asthma
Patients were often labelled 'asthmatic' one month and 'chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)' the next. Primary care practitioners do not seem to make this distinction clear, and this is reflected in 1 in 5 patients having an inconsistent diagnostic label over the audit period. There was a significant correlation between the percentage of patients with a consistent diagnosis of asthma and the control of asthma (Spearman correlation 0.4, p=0.01), which implied that as the consistency improved the level of control deteriorated. If all the audited patients had a consistent diagnosis of asthma the percentage that was well controlled might be as low as 24%. Practitioners must be helped to distinguish between asthma and COPD in terms of diagnostic criteria, assessment methods and treatment options. In our setting many patients develop COPD as a result of TB, exposure to the burning of biomass and mining and not only prolonged tobacco smoking. Smoking status, a key asthma trigger and pointer to the possibility of COPD, was documented in just under a third of patients.
Assessment of control
The level of control was rarely assessed, and a typical assessment would read 'known asthmatic'. If the patient appeared stable at the consultation, his or her medication was simply repeated. Health workers may not have been trained in how to assess control using simple questions and may not appreciate that variability in asthma symptoms necessitates asking about symptoms over the past 4 weeks and not just on the day the patient is seen. The AGIP adapted the 20-second asthma check provided by the National Asthma Education Programme, which is congruent with the latest guidelines (Table II).
Use of peak flow meters
Although cheap, peak expiratory flow (PEF) meters were only available in half of the consulting rooms and PEF was only recorded in about a quarter of all visits. The need for PEF meters remains controversial, as control of asthma can be adequately assessed using questions alone (Table I). It has therefore been argued that PEF meters are not essential for prescribing inhaled steroids, in contradiction to the recommendations of the national Essential Drug List (EDL). Nevertheless the PEF gives an objective and comparable measure of airways obstruction and identifies patients who may have significant airways obstruction without symptoms.11 Likewise there are a smaller number of patients whose symptoms are out of proportion to the objective clinical signs and PEF. The PEF has additional diagnostic benefits and is essential in managing acute asthma. Each facility should therefore have a PEF meter, and if PEF is to be recorded as part of the consultation it should be easily available.
Overall the availability of medication on the EDL was a strong point and may reflect its emphasis in provincial chronic disease policy during 2006 - 2008. Salmeterol availability was included in the assessment, although not on the primary care code, as it could be initiated by hospital-based physicians and obtained at primary care facilities. The AGIP are motivating that long-acting beta-2-agonists (LABAs) be made more accessible to patients by family physicians prescribing them within the district health services. Guidelines support the use of LABAs with low or moderate doses of inhaled steroids rather than doubling the dose of inhaled steroids.5
Education on spacer and inhaler technique
Effective supply of medication and appropriate prescribing is worth nothing if actual delivery of medication to the lungs is poor. A neglected area of care was educating patients on how to use their delivery devices. Assessment of individual technique was seldom recorded, and few rooms had placebo metered dose inhalers (MDIs) to facilitate demonstration of the technique. The ability of staff to demonstrate the MDI is poor even when placebos are available.12 Local studies have confirmed poor inhaler techniques among patients10,12 that contribute to poor deposition of medication and poor control. Although patient education is highlighted in all guidelines, including the National EDL, the pharmaceutical depot had no provision for supplying facilities with placebo MDIs. The AGIP enabled staff to demonstrate the delivery devices and developed demonstration DVDs in local languages. DVDs do not require the local staff to be proficient at demonstrating the technique, and there is evidence that they are useful.12
Whether all patients on inhaled steroids, or only those with a poor technique, should receive a spacer routinely, has been debated. Spacers have not been sufficiently available to provide one to each patient, and yet even in patients with a good inhaler technique they improve lung deposition considerably.5 Spacers also require a degree of technique, but reduce the need for co-ordination of actuation and inspiration and would also be easier for staff to demonstrate correctly. A single spacer will last for at least a year with minor cost in relation to improved control. Although non-valved spacers are cheaper, the valved spacer would support tidal breathing as an effective way of using the spacer. In a non-valved spacer, if the patient exhales first the medication may be blown out of the spacer. Providing a valved spacer to every asthma patient requiring inhaled steroids is therefore likely to be cost-effective. Alternatively dry-powder devices could be made available to improve lung deposition in selected asthma patients. These are not available in the public sector.
Supporting patient self-care and health literacy
Although just over half the consulting rooms had some educational material, very few had material in all the local languages. The province had no official health education materials for asthma before the AGIP, and therefore any materials were obtained ad hoc by the facility. It is therefore not surprising that only a small number of patients had a written self-management plan. The AGIP patient leaflet was designed to be personalised as part of a self-management plan. Group education was an option for urban CHCs, where large numbers of asthma patients attended on specific days, but not in the rural clinics and mobiles, where they attended randomly. The potential for group education in the urban setting led AGIP to develop a flip-chart and a structured educational programme.
Emergency care
Overall the provision of equipment for emergency care was good. This may reflect the historical emphasis on acute episodic health care.
Organisation of chronic care
The sustained implementation of innovations to improve chronic care depends on at least one person in the health facility having chronic care of non-communicable diseases as a long-term responsibility.13 Frequent rotation of nursing staff to different duties impedes the development of chronic care systems, and in most facilities there is no one with designated responsibility for asthma care.
Well-trained and supported clinical nurse practitioners are as competent as doctors in providing routine chronic care and may be better at patient education.14 However, doctors are required for the initial diagnosis, prescription of certain medication, and managing more complicated or difficult cases. Public sector pharmacists have not moved beyond dispensing to assist with educating patients on using medication and identifying those who need further assessment.15
The audit facilities were not randomly selected and could therefore be biased with regard to the factors influencing their participation. In our opinion it is not very likely that these facilities are substantially different to those that did not contribute. The small number of patients sampled at facility level limits the validity of results for a specific facility, but collated at the district and provincial level should give a valid estimation of the true picture.
The implementation of 10 recommendations to improve asthma care (Table III) requires a co-ordinated effort between the managers of the drugs and therapeutics committees, human resources and training, chronic care and district health services at the district, provincial and national levels.

TOKYO, Japan - After deciding to shift production of some sensors for Apple iPhones to a Chinese plant, Sharp Corp reportedly fired thousands of foreign workers in central Japan.
While the Osaka-based electronics maker has refused to confirm or deny the layoffs, a labor union said that Sharp Corp had laid off nearly 3,000 foreign workers subcontracted to the company in central Japan.
According to the labor union, the decision by Sharp came after it decided to move production of some seniors for apple iPhones to a Chinese plant owned by its parent company, Taiwan's Foxconn.
A report in the Nikkei business daily first confirmed the news of the relocation, while the Mie Prefecture-based labour union released details of the layoffs.
The union, which is located in the same area where Sharp Corp's plant is located, said that some of the laid off workers were its members.
Sharp said the company would not comment on issues at subcontractors.
The layoffs - which have come at a time when the country is debating on bringing in more foreign workers as it suffers a local labour shortage - sent Sharp's shares down 5.7 percent on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
The reported layoffs also came a little over a month after Sharp lifted its full-year profit outlook as a part of a turnaround under the ownership of Foxconn, which acquired the Osaka-based company in 2016.
Following its acquisition by the Taiwan-based company, which is formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, Sharp Corp slashed costs in light of the stiff competition it has been facing from its South Korean rivals.
Meanwhile, Foxconn itself is facing what it called a "very difficult and competitive year," and has been conducting its own restructuring.
The company, which is Apple's biggest iPhone assembler, is reportedly aiming to cut $2.88 billion (20 billion yuan) from expenses in 2019.
A report in Reuters noted that Sharp Corp's production relocation is related to sensors used in the facial recognition feature that was introduced by Apple Inc in its iPhone X last year.
Foxconn has refused to comment on the relocation, claiming it does not issue statements related to its products or its current or potential customers.

Shareology would like to….share….a little parable about networking.
Once upon a time, there was a princess who wanted to grow up to be a social media rock star. She wished upon a star, but alas, there was…..nothing. She knocked upon door after door; she met for coffee with every social media person in her land.
In her networking quest, she came upon an event called Product Camp. Off she went, at 7 AM in the morning to knock upon the doors of the castle called St. Thomas. Alas, the castle was locked but another princess was also looking for a way into the castle. "Come with me" Princess Networking said as she led her new friend into the unlocked front door of the building. It turned out that her new friend was speaking twice that day on social media and Princess Networking made sure to be in the audience for each session.
Later that week, Princess Networking connected with her new friend on the magic LinkedIn; she also set up a meeting for them at the castle known as Starbucks.
Still later, Princess Networking got an email from her new friend. "Would you be interested in working for my boss? She's in need of a Princess such as you…."
One thing led to another and now Princess Networking has a new opportunity in life, because she knocked on one more door, and because she never, never, never gave up.
Thus is the power of positive networking.

Death toll from Indonesian earthquake rises to 30
The death toll from an earthquake that hit Indonesia's Aceh province earlier this week has reached 30, and police and soldiers are searching the debris for another 12 people believed missing, officials said Thursday.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said the main focus of recovery efforts Thursday was to search for more victims, assist the injured and provide supplies for those in need. He said 275 people were injured and more than 4,300 houses and buildings damaged in Tuesday's magnitude-6.1 quake.
Jarwansyah, who heads the Aceh provincial Disaster Mitigation Agency, said 6,500 displaced people were staying at 35 temporary shelters in both Central Aceh and Bener Meriah districts. He said many others were staying in tents outside their houses.
Nugroho said the items needed most by the displaced people were tents, blankets, mats, clothing and food supplies. He said the Social Ministry had dispatched 30 tons of rice and other supplies from the provincial and district governments.
Subhan Sahara of the local mitigation agency in Bener Meriah said the quake triggered landslides in at least 15 locations, covering roads and isolating nine villages. He said rescuers were trying to reach the villages.
Earthquakes frequently rattle Indonesia, which is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Ocean.
In 2004, a magnitude-9.1 earthquake off Aceh triggered a tsunami that killed 230,000 people in 14 countries.
Associated Press writers Ali Kotarumalos and Niniek Karmini in Jakarta, Indonesia, contributed to this report.

Tyrann Mathieu's suspension from LSU wasn't your average suspension. LSU announced their ruling in a mysterious, intentionally opaque press conference, and their reasons for waving goodbye to their best player were never fully divulged. Whatever the reason, the farewell seemed permanent: four days after the press conference in which LSU head coach Les Miles announced Mathieu's dismissal and said, "We are going to miss him," LSU's NCCA compliance director Bo Bahnsen told USA Today, "He's permanently ineligible to play football at LSU. That's definite. That's what was said Friday." [CORRECTION, 5:27 p.m.: LSU senior associate AD Herb Vincent refuted Bahnsen's statement shortly after it was made in this tweet, and followed up with the (non-) clarification, "To clarify: Tyrann Mathieu has the option to go to LSU as a student. LSU is not speculating on his football future."] Mathieu, a Heisman finalist as a sophomore, would have to spend his junior season in purgatory as he navigated the NCAA's labyrinth transfer policy and tried to determine whether his violation of team rules would keep him off the field if he went elsewhere.
Right? Wrong. If you believe Les Miles, it sounds like Mathieu will be back in a Tigers uniform next season:
That's Miles on the Scott Van Pelt show, being asked by Ryen Russillo whether Mathieu could have a "happy ending with the LSU football family." It's an intentionally vague question that begets an answer that sounds like word soup even coming from an SEC football coach: Miles says that there's a "very legitimate chance," but goes on to say that he thinks that the "point of degree and the point of handling your business and making sure everything's right and correct and getting your feet on the ground—I think that that is a tremendously happy ending."
Whatever that means, a happy ending for Mathieu and the LSU football family is Mathieu playing football for LSU, and Miles seems to think it's on the table. That outcome may have seemed likely that when Mathieu didn't immediately transfer (in August, after Mathieu toured multiple FCS schools, it looked like Mathieu might take the Da'Rick Rogers route) and now that Mathieu is re-enrolled at LSU and Les Miles is talking about happy endings, it seems all but guaranteed that Mathieu will be in the secondary for the Tigers next season.
To recap: On August 10, Les Miles and the LSU athletic department declared Tyrann Mathieu suspended for the season. Asked why, they wouldn't answer. Asked whether Mathieu violated team rules or school rules, Miles said both, but Mathieu was only suspended from the team, not from the school. LSU's NCAA compliance guy said Mathieu was never coming back, and that the decision was "definite." Many said Mathieu was off the team for drug violations, but as noted here, that explanation only raised more questions. On August 17, a week after the press conference and three days after LSU said Mathieu would never play another down for the Tigers, his father told FOX 8 in New Orleans that his son had entered a drug rehab program and would be there for as long as took to get clean. On September 8, Mathieu was in the student's section [Note: A reader who attended the game says Mathieu was actually in the season ticket holder's section] at LSU's week two game against Washington. Now, as long as Mathieu takes care of "the point of degree and the point of handling your business," he's probably back on the squad, and LSU can continue conducting its business like the Kremlin. Let the healing begin.

Bachelor Pads
A.I.R. Gallery
Brooklyn, NY
February 1-25, 2012
Here is an interesting series by New York photographer Jeanette May inspired by 1960s movies and magazine spreads highlighting the phenomenon of the "bachelor pad". May stages the contemporary bachelor in his metropolitan dwelling. The original bachelor pads were conspicuously heterosexual and masculine in design—filled with the latest gadgets and markers of hedonistic pleasure. May's photographs examine whether the current version evolved or if the reel-to-reel sound systems were merely swapped for iPod stations and large screen TVs. The pad may define one's economic or cultural standing, provide refuge, or seduce potential lovers. May's images raise these issues while offering a voyeuristic peek into the private living space of single men. Bachelor Pads furthers May's investigation into the representation of desirable men and the development of the "female gaze" in contemporary visual cultural. (Her previous project was called Easy On The Eyes) In this recent project, she concentrates on bachelors: unmarried men who do not live with their parents, spouses, or lovers. Her bachelors identify as straight or gay, live alone or with roommates, and cover a range of ages and socio-economic groups. May poses the men in a formal manner; their gaze is never toward the camera, but they seem self-consciously aware of an audience. She produces photographs located somewhere between portraiture and documentary, that allow women (and men) to stare unabashedly at attractive bachelors and then visually rifle through their belongings. May presents her archival pigment prints in a scale that enables us to read the spines of books on the shelves or covet a particularly desirable apartment. What do we learn about these specific bachelors, how do men present themselves to the camera, and does the female viewer take pleasure in the sight?

The PDF to Blurb Book Color Workflow featuring Adobe® InDesign® Blurb's PDF to Book capabilities give you complete control over the bookmaking process. In this Webinar sponsored by X-Rite and Blurb, we'll cover the entire process from image capture, to soft-proofing in Photoshop® to book layout in InDesign® to upload to Blurb.
We'll show you how to implement a color workflow to ensure that the photos in your book print with the best quality and accuracy possible. We'll provide tips on how to use ColorChecker Passport and ColorMunki Photo from X-Rite so that color from capture-to-edit-to-print is accurate and consistent. Using Adobe Photoshop, we'll soft-proof images to see how they will print in a Blurb book. The CMYK color space is often new territory for photographers, so we will cover how to convert images using the Blurb custom printer profile for placement into InDesign.
Using custom InDesign templates direct from Blurb, we'll design a book, pre-flight the results and upload the finished book to Blurb.
Regardless of the software you use to create your PDF book, this webinar will provide you with a clear workflow to get the best photo color possible. Topics Covered

EL-wire is great stuff. It gives off a neon like-glow without generating heat or deadly high voltages. It's simple enough for beginning makers yet can yield some impressive results! Electroluminescent wire is made from a solid piece of copper wire that's been coated with phosphor. It's then wound with very fine wires then covered by a protective sleeve. To activate the wire, just apply some alternating current and it will glow with a soft, 360 degree line of cool, visible light.
EL-wire is flexible enough to wrap around your finger and holds its shape well, making it perfect for a multitude of projects. Want to make a glowing dog leash or trick out your bike? It will only take a few minutes. All you'll need for both are some zip-ties and one of the new starter kits from EZ-EL, now available in the Maker Shed. It's available in several colors and in 10ft or 25ft lengths to illuminate a variety of project sizes.

Hello, bloggers!
I have a very special treat for you today… Author John Fioravanti is gracing us with his presence. Not only is he a talented author, but John is a great friend. He is a very supportive member of Rave Reviews Book Club and he serves as our Membership & Incentives Director. Today, he is launching off on an exciting blog tour, presented by 4WillsPublishing. His first stop is with the ever-supporting Nonnie Jules. I'm blessed enough to be his second stop!! 🙂 You can follow along the rest of his awesome tour by visiting the 4Wills page.
I'm grateful to my host of this second post of THE GENESIS SAGA TOUR, and to Nonnie Jules of 4WillsPublishing who arranged it all! The full lineup for this tour can be found @ http://wp.me/P43s9i-2g
My purpose, is to give readers a greater familiarity with planet Genesis – within the Equations universe created by author and friend, Kenneth Tam.
To this end, we will continue a series of interviews of some key players in Book One of The Genesis Saga: PASSION & STRUGGLE. Nonnie Jules of the famed interviews, 'Who's On The Shelf With Nonnie Jules?' has agreed to lend her formidable skills to this process. She gave me the nickname "Fio" a while back – so keep that in mind in case she opts to use it! Nonnie and I are comfortably seated in the brightly lit reception area of Navy Headquarters in Genesis City.
NJ: (Looking around the room trying to hide her agitation. Whispers urgently…) Fio! You know I don't care for these kinds of surprises! Where are we NOW?
JF: (Smiling indulgently) You're fine, Nonnie. We're in Navy Headquarters waiting for ArcGeneral Hastings to fit us in…
NJ: (Incredulous) Really! Liz Hastings is going to drop everything… (her sentence is unfinished as her attention is drawn to an attractive gentleman bidding farewell to the receptionist/Aide. Turning, he spots the visitors and strides toward them with a big grin.)
MR: Doctor John, so good to see you again! Who is your friend, here? (extends his hand to Nonnie) I'm Marco Rossini and I'm pleased to meet you!
NJ: (Smiling, stands and takes Rossini's hand) Nonnie Jules, and I have many questions I'd love to ask you!
JF: (Stands and greets Marco with a handshake) Good to see you, Professor! How goes the campaign?
MR: (Checks the time) I can't stay now – I have a class on campus in thirty-five minutes. (Looks from John to Nonnie) Will you be here a while? Perhaps we can meet later today.
Receptionist: Doctor John? The ArcGeneral will see you now.
MR: (Smiles at Nonnie) So nice to meet you, madam. (Addresses John) I must run, John, please stop by before you leave town! (Waves and strides away.)
Receptionist: Follow me please, Doctor John and Ms. Jules.
(John and Nonnie follow the receptionist to the ArcGeneral's office where Liz Hastings awaits and ushers them inside the door. John introduces Nonnie and Liz who leads them to three chairs arranged informally beside Hasting's desk.
LH: (Addressing Nonnie) Doctor John tells me that you're interested in our election campaign.
NJ: For starters, may I call you Liz? I'm afraid 'ArcGeneral' is going to slow things down too much… (Liz nods her agreement) and I have no idea when Fio here, (gives John a 'look') is going to whisk me away.
Thank you, Liz. After everything I've learned about society here, how did a woman become head of the Genesis Navy, and then a candidate for President?
LH: (Addresses John) May I assume "Fio" is an alternate name of some sort? (John grins, and Liz addresses Nonnie)
Nonnie, most Churchers look upon me as an offence to the Gods – according to them, women do not involve themselves in public affairs, let alone the military. Among the Naval class, women are able to rise to whatever level their abilities can take them in their chosen line of work. As for politics, (chuckles) believe me, Nonnie, I did not put my name forward as a candidate for the presidency. High Chancellor Bingham asked me to run.
NJ: Impressive! Now tell me honestly, do you think you have a chance to become President?
LH: Nonnie, I play to win. Marco and I just finished putting the final touches on our political platform. We're going to surprise a lot of people. I don't back down from a fight – my record proves that! I have Marco Rossini as my running mate – the most politically savvy person on the planet.
NJ: Hmmmm what about that Newton character? Fio tells me he's your strongest opponent and a big wheel in Churcher circles.
LH: I'm sure Joshua Newton has his Churcher supporters. But the key will be which class elects the most members to Congress. Right now the polls favour Naval candidates. When they win a majority in Congress, they'll be sympathetic to Marco and me.
NJ: (Addresses John) I like this woman! No sugarcoatin'… tells it like it is! (Turns back to Liz) Tell me, what's your ace in the hole?
LH: I have two aces, Nonnie. Before the elected Members of Congress vote for the President and Vice President, there will be witnesses testifying before a Congressional committee on behalf of all the candidates. ArcGeneral Sarah Manchester will testify for me, and ArcGeneral Pat Conroy will testify for Marco.
NJ: Star power! I get it! Fio told me they were famous heroes during the war. I'd just love to find out how Joshua Newton plans to counter that move…
JF: (John places his hand gently on Nonnie's arm once more.) As you wish…
Join us tomorrow for Nonnie's next adventure on planet Genesis.

Your continued donations keep the knowledge bases growing!
Our two projects are online since mid 2006.
The knowledge base of Project Athinai is already populated. Additions to this knowledge base will be made at users' requests (contact us). Even though several 3D models are already created, they will not be available through downloads before some time. Due to a lack of sponsors, the virtual walkthroughs have been postponed.
Concerning our Project SYW, we have created a comprehensive structure for the knowledge base and the members of our community have already published more than 2,200 detailed articles and 3,500 illustrations. If you want to join our community to participate in the creation of articles or illustrations, do not hesitate to contact us to obtain a user account, it's free!
Taking advantage of the evolution of collaboration softwares, 3D modeling tools, and real time rendering engines; we intend to build large knowledge bases and virtual reality environments for selected periods of history.
The periods that we have chosen for our initial projects are:
To sustain these projects, we use a hybrid business model:
This way, we will be in a position to offer to our users a growing amount of free information on selected periods while maintaining sustainable business activities.

In VirtualBox what IPs i need and on my real computer what IP to connect them. Other question is if I can use Asterisk free for a small company with 10 peoples, i will have a gsm gateway with 8 cell numbers, and i want only a number to be public. This gateway i will connect to the asterisk, but i need hunting between this 10 peoples, if somebody is not free, then go to the other. From outside it will be only 1 number public, that meeans it can talk simultan 10 peoples on the same number? Asterisk can do this or I need to pay for it?
I installed asterisk on a PC but I cant connect with a softphone...What softphone do u recomand, i tryed X-Lite, but i cant connect.

Extension 0,1,2,3,4 ----> Outside number 1
I hope somebody can help me!
Thank U!

The Tanked community is so critical. It criticizes people that play well and horribly alike; there is no need.
A prime example: SergeON. He is such a nice guy if you do not make him lose or berate him. The people that he dislikes do, stringently, those two things. He would appear a lot nicer if people treated him kindly.
We already are hard-pressed to find games, so do not scare people away.

Re-framing Israel Advocacy
Meet Rabbi Melissa Weintraub
Many Israel advocates wish their efforts had wider and stronger impact among the disengaged, uninformed, indifferent, skeptical and critical. This talk addresses why efforts to cultivate sympathy for Israel aren't heard by many of the audiences advocates most want to reach, and what might be more effective. More than talking points and messaging, we need to be training advocates in how to listen deeply, ask the right questions, see the point of view of their audience honestly, show respect for their opinions, and appeal to their values.

UCONN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Huskies defeat Notre Dame, advance to national title game
NEW ORLEANS >> Diana Taurasi wasn't able to do it and neither was Maya Moore, so as the days turned into hours there were more than a few folks who wondered whether UConn's latest prized freshman would be able to deliver on women's basketball's grandest stage.
By the time she came out of the game and received a rousing welcome from each of her coaches and teammates Breanna Stewart had scored more points in an NCAA tournament game for a Connecticut freshman as she powered the Huskies to an 83-65 victory over perennial nemesis Notre Dame before a crowd of 17,545 at New Orleans Arena on Sunday night.
Stewart had 17 of her 29 points in the second half as UConn finally found a way to beat a Notre Dame team which knocked the Huskies out of the last two Final Fours and handed UConn three of its four losses.
"I think this postseason I have really gained a lot more confidence and today was a game I was looking forward to playing, all of us where," Stewart said.
Stewart scored in every way imaginable as she was 4 of 5 from 3-point range, 6 of 9 from inside the arc and 5 of 5 from the foul line. Considering how much some of UConn's legends have struggled as freshmen in the national semifinals, Stewart's masterful performance is all the more impressive.
"She is peaking at the right time, well not really peaking because she is going to keep going up but she is blossoming at the right time," said UConn freshman forward Morgan Tuck. "I have seen her play like this a lot of times, she is out there, not really thinking and is playing her game. I am so proud of her and so happy for her what she did in her first game in the Final Four.
"A lot of people say that as a freshman it is hard to play and she did. She went out there with no nerves and like it is a regular game and she just dominated."
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had 16 points and Bria Hartley had 15 in the national semifinal Sunday night at the New Orleans Arena to set up a matchup with Big East rival Louisville.
When the game ended the UConn players showed as much elation and joy as any recent Huskies squad has in a national semifinal game. Leading the way is the normally stoic Kelly Faris, who finished with 10 points, six rebounds and six assists while helping to hold Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins to a 3 for 15 shooting performance.
"Usually I am not running out on the court in a semifinal game but the path that this team has taken, I am extremely proud of my team and every individual on this team," Faris said. I don't think they understand how proud I am but I am just happy for everybody on the team. I thought about and perhaps I shouldn't but I thought this is it for me; I want them to know I was excited and I wanted them to feel that and enjoy it."
UConn (34-4) used an 11-2 run to take a 10-point halftime lead. However, Notre Dame has proven it can come from behind against UConn before. After a Stewart 3-pointer pushed the lead to 12.
Notre Dame's All-American duo of Diggins and Kayla McBride brought the Fighting Irish back as McBride hit a 3-pointer and then Diggins picked the pocket of Moriah Jefferson for a layup to pull Notre Dame within 42-35. However, offensive rebounds by Dolson and Stewart resulted in five key points which reestablished the 10-point lead; With Notre Dame able to whittle the lead to seven Mosqueda-Lewis and Stewart hit 3-pointers 33 seconds apart to push the lead to 13.
Neither team could buy a basket early on. Notre Dame opened by missing 19 of its first 21 shots and the Huskies weren't much better in the early stages allowing the Fighting Irish to not only stay in the game but to take the lead on seven different occasions in the first half.
The final lead came courtesy of seldom used Markisha Wright.
Hartley, who has had her struggles shooting the ball all season long, came down and drained a 3-pointer with 2:51 to play to allow the Huskies to regain the lead. Kelly Faris followed with a steal and layup and then another Hartley jumper pushed the lead to 32-26. After Diggins set up Natalie Achonwa for a layup to snap the run, the Huskies relied on a pair of freshman to add to the lead. Morgan Tuck grabbed an offensive rebound and scored and then Stewart hit a 3-pointer from the right corner. After Wright hit one of two from the free-throw line with 19.5 seconds to go, Faris struck again with a basket in the lane with 3.5 seconds to play as the Huskies took a 39-29 lead into halftime.
This was the 15th meeting between the teams since January of 2010 including the third consecutive showdown in the national semifinals. Notre Dame walked away with victories both times and owned three hotly-contested victories over the Huskies this season even though the Fighting Irish lost starters Devereaux Peters, Natalie Novosel and Brittany Mallory to graduation. Notre Dame's run to the Big East regular-season and tournament titles netted Fighting Irish coach Muffet McGraw Associated Press National Coach of the Year honors.
Kayla McBride had 16 points for Notre Dame (35-2) while Diggins was held to 10 points.
Louisville rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat California in the first semifinal as Antonita Slaughter made six 3-pointers and led the Cardinals with 18 points. Bria Smith added 17 points and Sara Hammond came up with a series of key plays down the stretch despite playing with four fouls.
Ironically, when Louisville made its first national title appearance in 2009 it also rallied from a double-digit halftime deficit against Oklahoma. Back in 2009 the Angel McCoughtry-led Cardinals fell to UConn in the national title game.

Forum Cinema
Chaussee de Gand 42-46,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Forum Cinema was located in the Molenbeek district of Brussels. It opened in 1921 and has a facade described as 'typical of the style in fashion just after the First World War'.
Seating was provided in stalls and balcony, which had side slips extending to the proscenium. These slips were cut back in 1956, possibly to fit in a wide-screen.
The Forum Cinema closed in 1973 and became a furniture store on the ground floor and a wallpaper shop on the first floor. When seen in May 2012, the entire building was a furniture store. Nothing remains on view of the original cinema decorations.

The Forum is now a warehouse or storagedepot for several local companies or shops I believe, but the facade is still in tact, the name can still be read.

Changed in version 1.5.2: Added namespace support.
This module defines a class XMLParser which serves as the basis for parsing text files formatted in XML (Extensible Markup Language).
This class provides the following interface methods and instance variables:
None. The default
value is the empty dictionary. This variable is meant to be
overridden, not extended since the default is shared by all instances
of XMLParser.
None if the method unknown_starttag() or
unknown_endtag() is to be called. The default value is the
empty dictionary. This variable is meant to be overridden, not
extended since the default is shared by all instances of
None and the string
'no' respectively.
None if not specified), the system
identifier, and the uninterpreted contents of the internal DTD subset
as a string (or
None if not present).
<> brackets. Character and entity
references in the value have been interpreted. For instance,
for the start tag
<A HREF="http://www.cwi.nl/">, this method
would be called as
handle_starttag('A', self.elements['A'][0],
{'HREF': 'http://www.cwi.nl/'}). The base implementation simply
calls method with attributes as the only argument.
</A>, this method would be called as
self.elements['A'][1]). The base implementation simply calls
unknown_charref(ref) is called to handle the error. A
subclass must override this method to provide support for character
references outside of the ASCII range.
'text'. The
default method does nothing.
'text'. The
default method does nothing, and is intended to be overridden.
'XML' and
'text'. The default method
does nothing. Note that if a document starts with "<?xml
..?>", handle_xml() is called to handle it.
'ENTITY text'. The default method does
nothing. Note that "<!DOCTYPE ...>" is handled separately if it
is located at the start of the document.
See Also:
0 (false) except
for the last one for which the default is
1 (true).
accept_unquoted_attributes (accept certain attribute values
without requiring quotes), accept_missing_endtag_name (accept
end tags that look like
</>), map_case (map upper case to
lower case in tags and attributes), accept_utf8 (allow UTF-8
characters in input; this is required according to the XML standard,
but Python does not as yet deal properly with these characters, so
this is not the default), translate_attribute_references (don't
attempt to translate character and entity references in attribute values).

Office Depot leaving Avon
AVON – The local Office Depot is closing its doors and will begin liquidating its inventory on Monday.
The store will close on Dec. 21, employees said.
Office Depot is merging with OfficeMax to create the world's second-largest office supply chain after Staples, and the combined company said it is looking for ways to be more efficient. However, closing the Avon store is not part of that streamlining, the corporation said.
"We consistently evaluate the performance of our stores, and this closing has nothing to do with the merger. It is still to be determined about other store openings in the area," said Rebecca Rakitin, communications manager with Office Depot.
The two companies each have hundreds of stores, some located two miles or less from each other, in locations around the country. There's an OfficeMax in Silverthorne and an Office Depot in Glenwood Springs.
Next door to the local Office Depot, Avon's Sports Authority store is staying put. Staffers in the sporting goods store said they're cranking up for ski season.
On Thursday the investment analyst Janney upgraded both OfficeMax and Office Depot to a buy rating after analyzing the merger.
The two companies had announced that they hoped to have their merger compete by the end of the year, but that $400 million to $600 million merger is at a standstill with the Federal Trade Commission shuttered by the federal government shutdown.
Osprey's acquisitions
Osprey Capital, a family-run company based in Chicago, quietly bought up much of the commercial real estate in the older part of Avon.
The purchases include Benchmark Plaza, the Christy Sports building, Nottingham Station, Chapel Square and the Annex, which includes the Office Depot space.
CEO David Hoffmann was unavailable for comment about what business would move into the Office Depot space.
The Hoffmann family, of Chicago, operates Osprey Capital. They have been coming to the valley for more than 30 years and have a home here.
The Hoffmanns said they want to support their existing tenants and bring new businesses to Avon.
Plans include everything from public art to a possible bowling alley and movie theater. Patriarch David Hoffmann said additional businesses could include a men's clothing store, an ice cream or frozen yogurt shop and a hand car wash. The family already owns the nation's fifth-largest executive recruiting business.

Security Update KB3132372 Causes Crashes In Multiple Applications Under Windows 10
Finally Microsoft and Adobe released a fix for the poor update that they pushed on 29.12.2015 which lead to crashes in multiple applications including Folder Size.
Please install the update to resolve the crash issues:
Details Regarding The KB3132372 And The Crashes In Applications Embedding Adobe Flash In Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge
It is strange that such poor update was pushed at the first place as this caused a tremendous amount of issues and Adobe and Microsoft forums were overwhelmed by users complaining about the problems that they faced after it was forcefully installed. At least Microsoft and Adobe admit on their web site the fact that the update is the culprit for the troubles that many Windows users experienced:
"Known issues in this security update
We are aware of limited application crashes that occur after this security update is installed on Windows 10. "
The only way to use Folder Size and other tools that crashed because of this update was to temporarily uninstall it and disable the automatic update for it:
We are sorry for the inconvenience, but Microsoft and Adobe are the ones to blame for putting us and you in this situation.
Thank you for understanding.
Do not forget to share this post with your friends and relatives as most likely they are struggling to get their applications up and running too.

A black teenager shot dead by a middle-aged white man in Florida after an argument over loud rap music, was unarmed and never threatened his assailant, a court heard on Friday
In testimony that centered on events leading up to the Nov. 23, 2012, shooting, three friends of the 17-year-old victim, Jordan Davis, testified they were caught by surprise when Michael Dunn, a 47-year-old software engineer, opened fire on their SUV at a Jacksonville gas station in north Florida.
Moments before the shooting, one of the teens Tevin Thompson, 18, said he heard Dunn ask: "Are you talking to me?" He then said he saw Dunn pull out a 9 mm pistol, turn toward Davis and fire.
Dunn is being tried in state court on one count of first-degree murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of firing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle. He faces life in prison, if convicted.
The deadly expletive-laced altercation began at a gas station, where Davis and three male friends had stopped on a night out mall hopping and hoping to meet girls.
The driver of the SUV, Tommie Stornes, 19, wanted to buy cigarettes, as well as gum, because Davis said it might help with the girls.
"You all's breath stink," Thompson said Davis told them, smiling in a rare moment of humor.
The case has drawn comparisons with the prosecution of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012. In both cases, the victims were black teens killed by men who said they believed their lives were in danger.
In opening statements on Thursday, prosecutors said Dunn overreacted to loud music coming from the SUV and could have avoided a confrontation. The defense maintained Dunn was justified in using deadly force under the state's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law.
State prosecutor John Guy recounted how the argument broke out after the teens pulled into the gas station in a red Dodge Durango. Dunn and his fiancée, Rhonda Rouer, stopped at the same gas station store after attending the wedding of Dunn's son, and parked their car next to the Durango.
The music was so loud, the defense said, that Dunn asked the teens to turn it down. He only opened fire after seeing what looked like the barrel of a gun or a lead pipe through the back passenger window, the defense said.
One of the other teens in the car, Leland Brunson, 18, testified on Friday that Davis did not have a weapon in his hand. Brunson said Davis pointed at Dunn with his right hand as he was talking to him, and his left arm was across the back of the seat.
At one point toward the end of the argument, Davis had a cell phone in his right hand, he said.
Police found no weapon in the Durango, although Dunn's attorney said in his opening statement that the teens had time to discard any weapon before police arrived.
Thompson told the court the cars were so close he was face-to-face with Dunn and would not have been able to open his car door to get out.
The music was so loud he did not hear Dunn ask the teens to turn it down, although he saw him mouth the words: "Turn your music down .... I can't hear myself think."
When asked to describe how Dunn appeared, Thompson replied: "A little angry and upset."
Thompson told prosecutors he didn't see or hear Davis threaten Dunn, but he did keep talking to him. At one point, Thompson reached over and used driver's controls to roll up Davis' car window to about three inches from closing, but the teen kept jawing with Dunn.
"When did you first see the gun?" Guy asked Stornes. "Pointing at me," the teen replied.
"What was your reaction?" Guy asked.
"To try to get away?" he answered. "I remember hearing glass shattering ... I was in a panic."
The prosecution said the first three bullets entered the Durango's rear passenger door in a tight cluster, passing through the metal and entering Davis' body, ripping through his liver and shredding an aorta in his chest. The next three bullets struck the front passenger door, where Thompson was sitting, along the length of the door from the handle to the door hinge, according to a photo shown in court.
Stornes backed the SUV out of the gas station and gunned it into an adjacent strip mall, where he stopped. He called everyone's name. "Everyone answered but Jordan," he said. "He was gasping for air."
