Why Hungary grants its citizenship to the diaspora
Ivan Sichen
Military and Political Expert
The scandal around Hungary's giving its passports to residents of Trans-Carpathian region of Ukraine (to representatives of local authorities included), gives another reason to analyze Budapest's policy in the context of its participation in realization of Moscow's interests. Moreover, Hungary acts fully copying Russia's actions on all possible directions, except for so far not using military force against Ukraine…
In particular, this concerns Russia's practice of creating pretexts to interfere in internal affairs of other countries under the guise of "protecting compatriots" on their territory. It is precisely for this purpose that Russia gives its passports to everyone interested, and in some cases forcibly imposes them, as it happened in the Crimea. For this, it uses Russian diaspora in the countries of the former USSR, which arose there as a result of purposeful resettlement of Russians since the times of the Russian Empire. And after the collapse of the Soviet Union, most of Russians remained in the independent states restored in its place.
|Territorial losses of Hungary under the Trianon Peace Treaty of 1920
Exactly the same methods are being used by the current Hungarian leadership, seeking to strengthen its position in the country through the implementation of all sorts of national-imperial ideas. At this, Budapest relies on the heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the form of the Hungarian diaspora in neighboring countries. And the diaspora there is not small at all, which was the result of historic events of the First and Second World Wars.
In particular, under the Trianon Peace Treaty, signed in 1920 by the victor countries in the First World War and by defeated Hungary (as one of the successors of Austria-Hungary), it lost about two-thirds of its lands. But, as the saying goes, "the lesson was of no use". In World War II, Budapest again joined the wrong side and as a result — lost its territory again. Although in this case it would be fair to talk not about the losses of Hungary, but about the restoration of historical justice in relation to its neighbors, Ukraine included.
Anyway, today the Hungarian diaspora in the neighboring countries of Hungary makes: in Romania — about 1.2 million people, in Slovakia — 460 thousand, in Serbia — 250 thousand, in Ukraine — 150 thousand, in Austria — 55 thousand, in Croatia — 14 thousand and in Slovenia — 6 thousand people. Another 2.5 million ethnic Hungarians left their country in search of a better life. Of these, 1.56 million people live in the USA, 315 thousand in Canada, 200 thousand in Israel, up to 200 thousand in France, 120 thousand in Germany, 80 thousand in Brazil, 76 thousand — in Russia, and 52 thousand — in the UK.
|Hungarian diaspora in neighboring countries
All this enables Budapest to implement a fairly simple scheme to meet its foreign policy ambitions, namely: to give Hungarian passports to "compatriots" abroad, demanding autonomy for their areas of compact residence, and later promoting Hungarian interests through its puppets in local councils, municipalities and other governing bodies.
Thus, the conditions are created for putting forward, and if a chance arises, for Hungary's realization of its territorial claims against its neighbors in the region. And such claims are supported at the global level by the Hungarian lobby in the United States, Europe and Russia.
In accordance with such approaches, Budapest has also created mechanisms for the practical implementation of its plans. Such as the system of simplified granting of Hungarian citizenship to members of the Hungarian diaspora abroad. In particular, this possibility is enshrined in the Constitution of the country, as well as other legislative acts. Besides, a network of government bodies has been formed, resolving all practical problems related to giving Hungarian passports. For example, today, applications from Hungarians abroad for Hungarian citizenship are accepted by about 870 institutions in Hungary itself and at least 70 foreign representative offices in other countries.
And after the mass granting of passports, comes the turn of the local Hungarian parties, who, with Budapest's appropriate support, demand autonomy for the areas densely populated by Hungarians. In an effort to legitimize its actions in the international arena, Hungary has initiated in the EU the issue of accepting a package of "indisputable rights of national minorities in Europe", which the European Union should guarantee.
|Hungarian minority in Romanian Transylvania
Hungary has actually implemented a similar scheme in the area of compact residence of Hungarians in Romanian Transylvania. It was there that after the collapse of Austria-Hungary the largest Hungarian diaspora of the "near abroad" of Hungary emerged — about 700 thousand people. Most of them belong to the ancient Hungarian subethnos — Szekelys (have many of their own, specific linguistic and cultural characteristics that distinguish them from true Hungarians, but in Hungary they are persistently considered compatriots).
After World War II (during the period of socialist construction in Romania) they were even granted autonomy, which existed in 1952–1968 in the form of the so-called Szekely Land, and then as Mures-Magyar Autonomous Region. In the late 1960s, the Romanian dictator N. Ceaușescu eliminated this Hungarian autonomy. But the problem remained and reminded about itself immediately after the collapse of the socialist bloc and the fall of totalitarian regimes in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
Thus, in October 1992, the leaders of the Hungarian community in Romania adopted the "Declaration of Cluj-Napoca", which proclaimed plans to restore the autonomy of the Hungarians in Transylvania. It was from that moment that Romanian Hungarians began an active movement for Transylvania's actual separation from Romania, which was consistently supported by Budapest. Since the beginning of the 2000s, this movement has become active.
In particular, under the leadership of the Szekler National Council, several public opinion polls and referenda on the autonomy of Transylvania were conducted. On the basis of this, autonomy was proclaimed by representatives of local counsels, and the Transylvanian issue was brought up for discussion to the Romanian Parliament. Despite the fact that all these decisions were canceled by Bucharest, it, nevertheless, had to grant the broadest possible rights to the Hungarian diaspora in Romania. Such as the right to double citizenship, education in the native language at all levels, parliamentary representation in both chambers, as well as the official status of the Hungarian language in the regions of compact residence.
However, this did not satisfy either the leaders of the "Romanian" Hungarians, or, obviously, Budapest. Taking advantage of Bucharest's willingness to make concessions, they put forward new demands, this time — to give territorial autonomy to areas with compact residing of the Hungarian diaspora in Romania. In particular, this was explicitly stated in the joint statement of the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (it has representation in the Romanian Parliament), Hungarian Civic Union and Hungarian People's Party of Transylvania in January 2018.
|State Secretary of the Hungarian Interior Ministry Laszlo Tasnadi issues the first "Hungarian ID", Budapest, January 10, 2016
Budapest pursues the same policy towards Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine. As for Serbia, there Hungary is trying to use for its own purposes the unresolved problems with citizenship in the country after the collapse of Yugoslavia. A certain deterrent for Hungary in other countries is the difficulty in obtaining double citizenship in Slovakia and the absence of such a legal basis in Ukraine. Nevertheless, Hungary is persistently trying to implement its plans, including by giving Hungarian passports to bypass Slovak and Ukrainian legislation, as well as distributing so-called "Hungarian IDs" — special documents made by Budapest for foreign compatriots.
And one more interesting thing confirming the existence of close ties between Hungary and Russia. In exchange for investments in Hungary, a residence permit in the country is easily obtained by Russian politicians, businessmen, heads of state-owned companies, as well as their relatives. Despite the Russian authorities' anti-Western rhetoric, all sorts of sanctions and counter-sanctions, the foreign residence permit is increasingly attracting the Russian elite. Mainly due to the possibility of leaving Russia at any time for the sake of personal security. According to the joint investigation of the Russian "Novaya Gazeta" and the Hungarian Investigative Journalism Center Direkt36, even the son of the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia A. Naryshkin, as well as his wife and two daughters have received residence permits in Hungary.
|Prime Minister of Hungary Victor Orban at the plenary meeting of the Hungarian Diaspora Council, Budapest, November 9, 2017
All this allows us to draw several important conclusions for Ukraine, which can be used as recommendations for our further actions on the Hungarian direction.
Firstly, Hungary's policy towards the Hungarian minorities in neighboring countries has a systemic state character and is part of its national development strategy, and its establishing itself in the new multi-polar world. Therefore, Budapest will never abandon it, and Russia will keep using it for its own purposes.
Secondly, Budapest's attempts to realize its interests with the help of the Hungarian diaspora in neighboring countries by actually provoking separatism on their territories, create a common problem for such countries, and that problem has to be resolved jointly. In turn, this provides an opportunity for Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia, and, to some extent, Serbia, to unite efforts to defend their interests. Including through the mechanisms of NATO and the EU, of which Hungary is a member.
Thirdly, despite all the negative consequences of Budapest's nationalist policy, both for Ukraine and for other countries, their response should in no way provoke a conflict with Hungary. Since it would only undermine the unity of NATO and the EU, and create additional obstacles to Ukraine's European and Euro-Atlantic integration. And that would be exclusively for the benefit of Moscow. At the same time, Ukraine can't ignore Hungary's attempts to create a separatist enclave in Trans-Carpathian region, since this contradicts Ukrainian national interests.
In general, these circumstances demand from Ukraine to consider weighed and well-thought steps with respect to Hungary and its actions in Trans-Carpathian region. And, of course, with involvement of Western and world institutions to resolve the emerging problems.

Insurance is a way to protect yourself, your family, and your property in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. It's important to choose the right type of insurance for your needs. If you're not sure where you'll be going, it's best to have some kind of coverage. You can get insurance for your car, home, and life. Insurance companies offer different types of coverage, so it's a good idea to compare them before you buy anything. The more options you have, the better off you'll be when disaster strikes.
Types of insurance:
- Life insurance:
You pay a monthly fee to receive regular payments in case you die or get seriously injured
- Health insurance:
This type of coverage pays for medical expenses that aren't covered by your other expenses (such as vision or dental care).
- Homeowners or renter's insurance:
This includes the Protection of your home from loss due to fire or theft. – This type of coverage protects your home from damage caused by fire, lightning, windstorms or other natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes.
- Business owners' policies:
Protects your business assets against unexpected expenses
- Car insurance:
This type of coverage protects you financially if someone gets into an accident with your car while it's being driven on your behalf by a company such as Hertz or Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
- Property insurance:
Property insurance covers your belongings in case they're damaged or stolen
- Liability insurance
Liability insurance protects you from lawsuits that stem from accidents or injuries that were caused by an accident involving someone else (like an auto accident). It also covers medical expenses related to injuries sustained in a car wreck
Insurance is a company-policyholder contract
Insurance is a contract between an insurance company and a policyholder that covers the risks of damage to or loss of property, injury to persons or death. Insurance is a way to protect you from unexpected costs. It can help if you get injured or have an illness, and it can help pay for the cost of repairing or replacing property that has been damaged by fire or other disasters. Insurance companies offer different types of coverage based on your needs and budget.
Features of Insurance policy
The features of each kind of policy are different as well. Some include deductible amounts and other features that can reduce your overall cost per month. Insurance is a way to protect you and your loved ones from financial loss if something bad happens. When you have insurance, you're covered for unexpected events like car accidents, illness, or injury. You can use the money from your policy to pay for things like medical bills and lost income. Insurance companies want you to buy their policies because they get paid when you do. They don't make money off of selling you a policy—they make money when they pay out on claims that come in through their policies.
Insurance has many advantages
- Insurance is a great way to protect yourself, your family, and your assets from unexpected costs.
- Home insurance protects you from damage to your home or its contents.
- Health insurance helps pay for medical costs when illness strikes you or someone in your family.
- Car insurance pays for the cost of damaged or stolen vehicles.
- The best thing about having insurance is that it can help prevent financial hardship if an accident or illness occurs.
- It also provides peace of mind for those who have plans in place for their families' future financial security.
- Insurance is a way to protect yourself and your loved ones from financial loss.
- It's an important part of life, whether you're the type to use it or not!
Insurance Discrimination
Insurance discrimination is any action taken by an insurer against an individual or group based on the individual's or group's protected characteristics, such as race, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability status, genetic information or sexual orientation.
Insurance discrimination can take many forms:
Denying coverage to customers; charging higher premiums to individuals based on their protected characteristics; refusing to issue policies to individuals with certain protected characteristics; refusing to renew policies for individuals with certain protected characteristics; and denying claims for services provided to individuals with certain protected characteristics.
Why insurance discrimination happens?
Insurance discrimination happens when an insurance company doesn't treat people equally. If you're a man, and you apply for car insurance and are declined, it's likely because of your gender. If you're a woman, and apply for car insurance and are declined, it's likely because of your gender. Insurance companies have the right to discriminate against potential customers based on their age, health status or any other factor they believe will affect their ability to pay for the policy. Insurance discrimination is the practice of charging one person different rates than another for the same product or service. It's illegal in most places, and can be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit if you're treated unfairly as a result.
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
"Insurance discrimination is the practice of basing insurance rates on a person's race or ethnicity. This practice has been illegal since 1975."
How to avoid insurance discrimination?
- In order to avoid insurance discrimination, you should consider purchasing private insurance that does not base your rate on your race or ethnicity. You can also check with your state's Department of Insurance to see if it has any laws regarding insurance discrimination.
- Insurance discrimination is a real problem. It's not just a matter of people being treated unfairly, but of companies denying insurance coverage to groups that they would cover if they were applying as whole classes of people.
- A lot of people think that insurance discrimination takes place when companies refuse to insure an applicant simply because they're part of a particular group—for example, because they're black. But that's not always the case. Sometimes insurance companies deny coverage based on their own criteria (such as whether or not the applicant has a history of cancer), which gives them the right to discriminate against entire categories of people.
- And it happens all the time! In fact, it happens so often that there's even a name for it: disparate impact. When insurers base their decisions on factors other than what applicants have done or are likely to do in order to cause harm—like their race, gender, or age—they can be held accountable under federal law for discriminating against certain groups of applicants.

Zero net energy doesn't mean all-electric
Check out our interactive guide to zero net energy homes.
Sign Up for News Updates
Spurred by burgeoning consumer interest, mandates in California, and support from the Department of Energy, zero net energy (ZNE) and zero energy ready (ZER) homes will be in the spotlight in 2020. But that focus also brings attention to a common misconception — that ZNE and ZER homes are all-electric. In fact, mixed-fuel solutions are popular in these highly efficient projects because they offer lower monthly utility bills while still providing the comfort benefits of gas. Combining propane and electric allows for hybrid systems tailored to a project's unique needs, providing lower first costs and reduced ongoing energy costs and emissions.
Of course, achieving success in zero energy projects is all about the details, which is why we created an in-depth, interactive feature dedicated to ZNE homes. Visit our interactive guide to ZNE homes to see project examples, ZNE strategies, and energy-cost calculations that highlight opportunities to build a ZNE home that will thrill even the most energy-conscious and demanding clients.

Grilled vegetables are becoming more popular, but grilled fruit is still a novelty, although this option allows you to experience an interesting taste. Vidas Nadzejka, a meat technologist at Rimi shopping center, says that you can fry fruits on fire to the desired consistency: "If you want it to be soft, cook it longer, if you want it to be harder, cook it for a short time. There are no hard and fast rules, just find what you like." Usually, pears are baked in the oven with blue cheese, nuts and honey for dessert, but grilled pears will delight you with even more nuances of taste. will be one of the healthier options at that time. Health nutrition consultant, nutritionist Dr. Edita Havelien, First of all, pears are valued for vitamins B, C and K, copper and potassium minerals, fiber, so do not forget to include them in your diet.
Fruits for cooking should be well ripe
According to Vidas Nadzejka, Rimi's meat technologist and grill enthusiast, all fruits can be grilled: "Fruits do not need to be soaked or marinated, it is important that they are fresh and well cooked. It all depends on what we like. For example, bananas can be cooked with or without the peel. Also, when baking fruit, I recommend wrapping it in foil and sprinkling it with brown sugar or powdered sugar. In this way, the sugar will caramelize with the released juice, and it will taste even better," the expert shares his advice.
Sweet fruits can be served as a dessert, and more acidic ones can be served as an accompaniment to meat or fish. But there is also a lot of room for experimentation: during the upcoming summer weekends, you can try many options, with whom and what to combine. "The hour fried apple slices go well with meat, pears go well with chicken, and citrus fruits go well with fish. All fried fruits are ideal with yogurt, cream, ice cream. In addition, various fruit skewers look beautiful and are liked by diners. I would recommend cooking as much as you can eat at a time – it's best to cook fresh when the fruit is still warm, as after a while they become limp and less juicy. – advises Vidas Nadzeyka.
Benefits of pears: when, how much and how to eat
It would be difficult to find a person who does not like pears – they are delicious both alone and in various baked dishes. True, the most useful is fresh, not thermally processed. According to the nutritionist, Dr. Editas Gavelienės, it is a seasonal fruit, so it is better to use them in season. "Daily amount of fruit is 200-300 grams, so if you want, you can get pears in this amount as well. It is true that they contain compounds that cannot be digested by the human digestive system, and if you eat them in large quantities, your stomach will swell, so it is better to limit yourself to one pear a day.
Sometimes we don't know which is better: is it better to eat apples and pears with the peel or peel them? According to the nutritionist, Dr. E. Gavelienės, the skin itself is a good source of fiber. "Of course, if this pear is brought from far away, it is quite possible that it will be covered with fruit wax, and the more it enters the human body, the more difficult it is for digestion. Therefore, if these pears are imported or long-stored varieties, it is better to peel them," advises the nutritionist doctor.
There are different varieties of pears – hard and soft. Which is better for health? "Everybody has their own choice here, that's right the riper the fruit, the more fructose it contains. The method of consumption of pears usually depends on the firmness of the pear. As a rule, slightly soft pears are only intended for eating, and hard pears are often used as a salad ingredient, they can be cooked in the oven or on the grill, "explains Dr. E. Gavelene.
We have heard that fruits should be eaten after a while, not after a meal. Is this true? Dietician Dr. Edita Havelien recommends following the correct logic: "We must not forget that our stomach has a certain capacity. If, for example, we eat a salad with pears, then there is no need to eat them separately from the salad. But if we want to eat a pear as a dessert, in this case we need to estimate the size of the stomach. If the part of the food eaten earlier is normal, then this part of the fruit, in this case pear, should be replaced in the next meal. The most important food regulator is stomach volume. It is necessary to make an effort not to exceed it."
Rimi offers grilled pears with cottage cheese, honey and nuts – a delicious and healthy dessert!
For the recipe you will need:
6 pears;
350 g of cottage cheese;
100 g of walnuts;
7 tablespoons of honey;
several sprigs of thyme;
Production process:
- Wash the pears, cut them in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.
- Heat a frying pan to medium heat. Place the pears inside (with the seeds) on the grill first. Bake for 20 minutes. Then turn the pears outside and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the pear halves from the grill and place on a plate. Put cottage cheese in the holes, sprinkle with chopped walnuts, drizzle with honey and serve. Garnish with fresh thyme.

Woman charged after performing surgery on her dog, killing it
Diane McMenamin, 26, of Ames, caused her dog 'unjustified pain, distress or suffering'
Diane McMenamin, 26, of Ames, caused her dog 'unjustified pain, distress or suffering'
A central Iowa woman faces animal neglect charges after police said her dog died when she performed surgery on it in her living room.
Twenty-six-year-old Diane McMenamin, of Ames, is charged with animal neglect causing serious injury or death, according to court documents filed in Story County.
Investigators said McMenamin had previously taken her dog to Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine because it had fallen ill.
Veterinary staff advised McMenamin that the dog had an obstruction in its abdomen that required surgery and that without operation the dog might need to be euthanized.
Ames police Cmdr. Geoff Huff said the owner arranged to have the dog euthanized at a different veterinary clinic June 1 but did not take the dog to the appointment, prompting veterinary staff to call police.
When officials arrived at her residence in the 2800 block of Arbor Street, McMenamin told authorities that she attempted to perform surgery that morning to remove the obstruction from her dog using"sterile instruments" -- a paring knife and tongs -- before attempting to stitch the animal back up. She also told police that she did not think the dog had an obstruction but that it might have consumed rat poison.
McMenamin told police that she attempted the surgery herself because she could not afford to have the procedure done by veterinary staff. Hoff said McMenamin also told police that she believed she could perform the surgery herself because she grew up on a farm and had castrated pigs before.
Police said McMenamin caused the dog "unjustified pain, distress or suffering" that resulted in the dog's death.
Huff said it was "one of the strangest things I've dealt with in over 20 years in law enforcement. I think, in her mind, she was trying to help the dog."
Randy Wheeler, executive director at the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association, works to protect animals from such torture. He has 40 years of experience in his field and said animal owners like McMenamin need to remember that they're animal caretakers, not surgeons.
"I came from a century farm. Luckily, Iowa has many century farms and that's one of mine, but that didn't make me or my family members surgeons," Wheeler said.
McMenamin was arrested on June 15 but was released after posting bail soon thereafter. If convicted of the serious misdemeanor, she faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail.
Her first court appearance is scheduled Monday.

I recently started a module on heat transfer at my university. and pretty much the first thing we learned was fouriers law.
so for one dimensional heat conduction
q = kA dt/dx
where the heat transfer rate is proportional to the area and the temperature difference but inversely proportional to the thickness of the material.
And this got me thinking, if we consider the temperature difference to be a potential difference and the rate of heat transfer to be a current, we can view the term kA/dx as a resistance term.
and then i thought, that this form of an equation probably occurs in many areas of science.
Does anyone know of a similar example in another aspect of science.?

Encuentro Latinoamericano: Revista de Ciencia Politica (ELA) is a peer-reviewed, student-run publication that focuses on Latin American politics. ELA is part of the International Association for Political Science Students (IAPSS). We follow most of the same guidelines as IAPSS' oldest journal, POLITIKON. The languages of publication are English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with all articles accompanied by English abstracts. We hope to publish in French and Haitian Creole in the future.
Geared toward students of all levels and young researchers in political science, law, and related fields, ELA enables junior academic talents to publish at the beginning of their careers. The journal has a strong Latin American focus, which includes Mexico as well as all of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Articles about the diaspora can also be reviewed if there is a clear link to Latin America (i.e. a Cuban community in the US, a Venezuelan community in Spain, or a Brazilian community in the UK). Articles focusing on other countries should be sent to the IAPSS journal POLITIKON.
High-Quality Review Process
The Editorial Board of ELA is committed to publishing high-quality research articles, research notes, and book reviews. The reviewers of the journal are young researchers (exceptional Master's degree candidates, PhD candidates, post-doctoral students, teaching assistants, and assistant professors) with strong expertise in Latin American issues and the prospective articles in question.
All articles will receive an Editorial Board review, and submissions that respect our guidelines and show an overall good command of academic research and writing principles will be forwarded to an external peer reviewer. The process is double-blind, meaning the reviewer does not know the name or affiliation of the author and vice versa.
Published Twice a Year
ELA is published bi-annually, in April and October. Special thematic or conference-based issues may be occasionally published. ELA is only published online and is available exclusively to IAPSS members for the first month after the launch of a new issue. After a month, the ELA issue is free for everyone to access.
For inquiries please feel free to contact the Editor in Chief of ELA: email@example.com

text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Annotate Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content + Hypoglycemia Download Section PDF Listen ++ Hypoglycemia in children may be due to inadequate oral intake, excess insulin, low levels of hyperglycemic hormones (cortisol), inborn errors of metabolism, or systemic infection. Prompt recognition and treatment of hypoglycemia is essential to avoid potentially severe and permanent neurologic injury and bedside glucose testing should be considered absolutely essential in any infant or child with altered mental status. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 79-1 Conditions Associated with Hypoglycemia in Infants and ChildrenView Table||Download (.pdf)Table 79-1 Conditions Associated with Hypoglycemia in Infants and ChildrenPerinatal periodInfancy and childhoodInfant of a diabetic motherIdopathic ketotic hypoglycemia/starvationCongenital heart diseaseDiabetes mellitus/endocrine disorderInfection/sepsisInfection/sepsisAdrenal hemorrhageInborn errors of metabolismHypothermiaHypothermiaHypoglycemia-inducing drug use by motherDrug induced (salicylates, etc)HyperinsulinismMaternal eclampsiaIdiopathicFetal alcohol syndromeHypopituitarism +++ Clinical Features ++ Neonates and infants with hypoglycemia typically present with altered mental status and nonspecific symptoms such as poor feeding, an abnormal or high-pitched cry, temperature instability, and irritability or lethargy. Hypoglycemic children may manifest symptoms related to adrenergic hormone release including tachycardia, diaphoresis, tremors, anxiety, irritability, and tachypnea. Severe hypoglycemia may result in apnea or seizures. Hypoglycemia often accompanies critical illness (sepsis) and the features of that illness may dominate the clinical picture, thereby masking the signs of hypoglycemia. +++ Diagnosis and Differential ++ Hypoglycemia is defined as a plasma glucose concentration less than 45 milligrams/dL in symptomatic children and less than 35 milligrams/dL in asymptomatic neonates. Bedside glucose testing is the most important diagnostic test in any neonate or infant who is critically ill or has altered mental status. Urine testing for ketones is important as ketonuria is associated with ketotic hypoglycemia, adrenal insufficiency and other inborn errors of metabolism. Absent urine ketones are associated with hyperinsulinemic states such as nesidioblastosis, infants of a diabetic mother, as well as disorders of fatty acid oxidation and mitochondria. +++ Emergency Department Care and Disposition ++ For neonates administer 5 mL/kg of 10% dextrose IV/IO/PO/NG. Treat infants with the same dose of 10% dextrose, or 2 mL/kg of 25% dextrose IV/IO/PO/NG. Give older children 2 mL/kg of 25% dextrose IV/IO/PO/NG.Administer maintenance dextrose for persistent hypoglycemia using 10% dextrose at 1.5 times maintenance.When intravenous access is not immediately available, consider glucagon 0.03 milligram/kilogram IM.When standard therapy fails, give hydrocortisone 25 milligrams IV for neonates and infants, 50 milligrams for toddlers and smaller school aged children and 100 milligrams for everyone else. Steroids should be given early in patients with hypopituitarism and adrenal insufficiency. + Inborn Errors of Metabolism Download Section PDF Listen ++ Inborn errors of metabolism are challenging childhood disorders representing a broad spectrum of diseases with nonspecific signs and symptoms. Delay in accurate diagnosis and treatment can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the myriad etiologies, the principles of initial ED diagnosis and management are relatively simple. The sudden acute deterioration of a healthy neonate should always prompt consideration of metabolic disease, and making a definitive diagnosis is less important than having a high index of suspicion and implementing supportive care. +++ Clinical Features ++ Vomiting, altered mental status, and poor feeding are the most common features of metabolic emergencies. Seizures may accompany some metabolic crises. Tachypnea due to metabolic acidosis and tachycardia from dehydration as well as hypotension due to hypovolemia or adrenal insufficiency may be noted. Rarely, some metabolic disorders may be associated with characteristic body or urine odors or other phenotypic stigmata (eg, ambiguous genitalia and hyperpigmentation in congenital adrenal hyperplasia, as discussed separately below). +++ Diagnosis and Differential ++ Screening laboratories for suspected inborn errors of metabolism include a bedside glucose, urine for ketones, a blood gas analysis for metabolic acidosis, serum ammonia and calcium. Figure 79-1 details the diagnostic evaluation recommended in the emergency department. Additional laboratory tests for definitive diagnosis that should be considered based on initial screening results include liver function tests, CBC, aldolase, creatine kinase, serum amino acids and acylcarnitine profile, urine organic acids, and reducing substances. The differential diagnosis of shock in the neonate includes sepsis, congenital heart defects, and abdominal catastrophes. ++Figure 79-1.Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size||Download Slide (.ppt)Approach to suspected metabolic disorders. +++ Emergency Department Care and Disposition ++ Despite the diverse etiology and complexity of inborn errors of metabolism, ED resuscitation and stabilization of patients with these disorders is relatively simple. Neonates, infants, and children presenting in metabolic crisis, regardless of cause, show some combination of dehydration, metabolic acidosis, and encephalopathy, which must be immediately addressed. The goals of treatment are, to improve circulatory status by restoring circulatory volume, provide energy substrate to halt catabolism, remove the inciting metabolic substrate (formula or breast milk), and help eliminate toxic metabolites. ++ Restore circulation with 0.9% saline boluses of 20 mL/kg.Make patients NPO, and correct hypoglycemia as above with D10 in neonates and infants or D25 in children.Begin 10% dextrose infusion at twice maintenance rate.Consider broad spectrum antibiotics.Specific metabolic treatments are guided by the underlying defect and should be determined in consultation with a metabolic specialist. Substrates to facilitate shunting of metabolic pathways or hemodyalisis may be needed. ++ Patients with a newly diagnosed or suspected metabolic disorder and those who are dehydrated or otherwise decompensated require admission for dextrose and specific treatment. Transfer to a pediatric hospital may be required. + Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Download Section PDF Listen ++ Congenital adrenal hyperplasia results from deficiency in 1 of the enzymes involved in the production of cortisol which leads to decreased cortisol levels sometimes accompanied by mineralocorticoid deficiency ("salt wasting syndrome"). Steroid precursors may be shunted to androgen production with virilization of females. +++ Clinical Features ++ Patients with salt-wasting adrenal hyperplasia typically present in the second to fifth week of life with nonspecific symptoms including shock, vomiting, lethargy, irritability, and poor feeding. On examination, females may have clitoromegaly and males may have a small penis or hypospadias. Hyperpigmentation may be noted on axillae and around the nipples. +++ Diagnosis and Differential ++ The most important laboratories include bedside glucose and electrolytes as hyponatremia and hyperkalemia are often present and suggest the diagnosis. Serum potassium levels of 6 to 12 mEq/kg are not unusual but are rarely associated with ECG abnormalities. Definitive diagnosis depends on analysis of blood hormone levels. If possible, blood should be obtained for analysis before treatment with exogenous steroids; however, treatment should not be delayed in the critically ill neonate. The differential diagnosis includes sepsis, congenital heart disease, and other inborn errors of metabolism. +++ Emergency Department Care and Disposition ++ Administer 0.9% saline boluses of 20 mL/kg IV/IO.Treat hypoglycemia as above.Administer hydrocortisone IV/IO/IM: 25 milligrams for neonates, 50 milligrams for toddlers and 100 milligrams for older children.Treat hyperkalemia with calcium gluconate 100 milligrams/kilogram IV and bicarbonate 1 mEq/kilogram IV. Insulin should be avoided as it may cause profound hypoglycemia. ++ Neonates with adrenal crisis from adrenal hyperplasia require hospitalization. Those with a known diagnosis of adrenal hyperplasia who have normal vital signs and are able to tolerate oral intake may be discharged home after administration of hydrocortisone as above with instructions to triple their usual home dose of steroid until fever, vomiting, or diarrhea resolve when next-day follow-up can be assured. + Further Reading Download Section PDF Listen ++For further reading in Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 7th ed., see Chapter 137, "Hypoglycemia and Metabolic Emergencies in Infants and Children," by Nadeemuddin Qureshi, Mohammed Al-Mogbil, and Osama Kentab.

text: I don't feel like coloring this, so into scraps it goes. (or the into sketches folder, for the three of you still using Weasyl that might see this over there) Since I did tone paper drawings of Peter and James both shirtless but by themselves, I thought I'd draw them together. Peter is worried he's getting a little rounder. James has been trying to stay fit while at home during the pandemic, but tells Peter not to feel too bad and that he can help him be more active if he likes. Or maybe Peter's stomach growled really loudly and James is amused by it... I dunno. I just don't know where to take this drawing, so that's why I'm just posting it as a sketch and spending time coloring other artwork. Enjoy this random doodle.

Weather: wild weather on Friday (November 28) – the day started out with light rain; then got warm, muggy and overcast; then poured down rain about 5 pm; then sideways rain about 6-7 pm; then cold and windy and light rain; and supposedly finished as snow in the mountains, but we didn't see any snow here. Yesterday was sunny, cold and windy. Today is starting out overcast.
Birds: on Friday, saw a large flock of robins in the back yard – they have been coming around periodically (couple times a week) for a while now. Didn't notice too much activity at the feeders yesterday, but there was a male red-bellied woodpecker. I usually only see the female.

We're working on changing up our podcast for 2021 a little, to expand the type and quality of content we bring to you through this podcast.Forged out of the "uh oh, Covid, what do we do when we can't engage people at in-person events" that happened to everyone this year, Our podcasts in 2020, were based around interviews from the virtual Meetups we started in this year.
In the coming year, we will of course have interviews with FINOS project leaders, members, and other industry thought leaders, but will also start including panel discussions and fireside chats that you may have missed from some of our events, case studies and deep dives, and then we may just start including you in some of our FINOS employee chats and office hours we do with the community - basically anything that we can do to provide you with more value within the world of open source, financial services, fintech, and banking tech.
So this particular episode is a preview of that.
At our last Open Source Readiness meeting of 2020, we featured the first in a series of collaborations with InnerSource Commons to promote best practice around InnerSource in financial services. InnerSource is the application of open source software development practices to internal software development projects. It's a great way for companies to increase collaboration within their organization, and for developers to gain skills that will make them effective participants in open source projects. We have definitely found this helpful within financial services in banks that are still looking to venture into open source.
We had guest panelists from InnerSource Commons, Deutsche Bank, Capital One, Lloyds Banking Group, and FINOS' Open Source Readiness project. Check our show notes below for a complete list of panelists and bios.
Sit back and learn as our friend Danese Cooper, president and founder of Innersource Commons, and a multi-decade veteran of the open source world leads a discussion on Innersource patterns for the Financial Services Industry.

Novels with crazy plot twists are often the most addictive page turners, and they keep you guessing (sometimes even after the twist). These books are nearly impossible to put down; the twists and turns that shock and rattle you may make you cry out in fear and anguish, or maybe you'll say, "I knew it!" and feel like the smartest reader in the room. Plot curve-balls that come straight out of left field make excellent stories even more jarring, which is probably why a majority of the books on this list were turned into movies.
Here are some great novels with epic plot twists- let us know which book(s) you would add to the list!
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
Plot twists can make your heart burst into emotional flames, so without giving anything away, prepare to cry a lot while reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The story is told through the eyes of an innocent boy whose father is the commander of a concentration camp in Germany. He befriends a young Jewish boy on the other side of the fence and, well, you can see why this might be one of the saddest stories ever.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (with a shout out to The Murder of Roger Ackroyd)
Agatha Christie is a master of mystery- a genre which entails plot twists. It is therefore impossible to pick just one Christie mystery with crazy and ingenious plot twists. Both The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and And Then There Were None (which fans voted to be their favorite Christie Mystery – Roger Ackroyd came in third), are must reads for fans of mystery with suspense and twists.
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
The Shadow of the Wind is more than just a crazy mystery; it is a beautifully written tale of secrets, romance, madness, and a boy's obsession with an author whose books have been systematically destroyed for some unknown reason. With eloquent detail, he transports you to the windy, history filled streets of Barcelona as it recovers from the Spanish Civil War. Every time you think you know what is about to happen, Zafón turns a shocking corner that is sure to entertain!
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
She's Come Undone is Wally Lamb's debut novel, and he surprises readers by filling the novel with unexpected, yet realistic, plot turns throughout. Lamb tells the coming-of-age story of a funny, cynical, overweight girl, Dolores Price, trying to transform her life for the better. Like every teenager, Dolores faces challenges that come out of no where – providing plot twists for her, just as much as for readers. You will likely connect to many of the challenges Dolores faces.
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
The Girl on the Train was all the rage in mystery when it hit shelves in 2015, and with good reason. Just like Rachel (the main narrator whose alcoholism constantly clouds her memory and obscures her perception of reality), readers will constantly be questioning what happened, and fear what is going to happen. The character development in this book is great, even if you hate every one of them. Hawkins switches narrators at times, each voice being as unreliable as the next, making this a mind-boggling psychological thriller. Who can you trust, Paula Hawkins?!
The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey
This book has everything: zombies, post-apocalyptic dystopia, horror, action, creepy children, and gore. Combine these ingredients for a recipe that is sure to produce thrilling plot-twists. Set in the future where most of humanity has been wiped out due to a bizarre fungal infection, The Girl with All the Gifts is an interesting twist on the average zombie story with relatable characters (even if they are the 'living dead') and emotional entrancement. It will blow your mind.
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
The Turn of the Screw is a classic ghost story, incorporating the best of Gothic horror, unnerving children, and a haunted house. While this is horror at its best, the shocking twists are what really get you. Yet again, the unreliable narrator, who seems to be teetering on the brink of a mental break down, makes the story all the more chilling.
Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
When many think of Shutter Island, they think of Leonardo DiCaprio and how he could have won an Oscar for his portrayal of U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels. But the novel, which author Dennis Lehane has stated as paying homage to Gothic settings, B movies, and the Bronte sisters, is brilliantly written. Set on an isolated island in the 1950s, you will feel the paranoia (emblematic of the Cold War Era) and the fear of the unknown bursting from each page.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple
Where'd You Go, Bernadette? is different than most books with shocking plot twists: it is hilarious, while still troubling and emotional (similar to She's Come Undone). Bernadette's character, an agoraphobic mother, is a bit nuts and definitely frustrating, especially once she goes missing after promising her daughter to go on a trip to Antarctica. Bee, Bernadette's daughter, scopes out her mother's past and privacy in an effort to find her / figure her out, and makes many shocking (and not so shocking) discoveries along the way.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
You may be surprised to find a non-fiction book on our list of books with unexpected plot twists, but as long as you don't read ahead, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil will leave you shocked. The true story of the shooting of Danny Hansford, a male prostitute, in Savannah, Georgia in 1981, is written like a literary novel. The mysterious killing shook the neighborhood. Berendt's account explores the murder as well as life in the Deep South, where rumors buzz around like flies. Twists occur in real life, not just in novels!
Honorable mentions: Atonement by Ian Mcewan; Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn; and, Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss Prediction: Rebels Aim for Third Straight Egg Bowl Win over the Bulldogs
The Egg Bowl is a Thanksgiving tradition and there is perhaps no better way to finish off a day full of football and stuffing your face with turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. Whenever Ole Miss and Mississippi State take the field, there is bound to be some shenanigans you have to see to believe, and the coaching matchup of Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach seems to deliver plenty of drama. Kiffin has taken the first two games in their head-to-head matchups in this storied rivalry, and his Rebels are favored to make it three in a row.

But Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3 SEC) was rocked its last time out and had a few holes exposed that Mississippi State (7-4, 3-4) will hope to capitalize on in this year's Egg Bowl. Here's what to know about this year's rivalry game.
Thanksgiving Day: Mississippi State at No. 20 Ole Miss
Kickoff: Thursday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. ET

Spread: Ole Miss -2.5
Tickets: As low as $28 on SITickets.com*
When Mississippi State Has the Ball
Mississippi State has had plenty of success throwing the football this season, which you should expect from a team coached by Mike Leach. Will Rogers leads the SEC and is among the nation's top quarterbacks with 3,474 yards and 32 touchdown passes and just five interceptions this season. Last week in a tune-up game against FCS East Tennessee State, Rogers passed for 301 yards and five touchdowns before getting an early rest.
The Bulldogs have a solid running back combo with Jo'quavious Marks and Dillon Johnson, with each having at least 400 rushing yards this year and 11 combined touchdowns. Ole Miss' defense has been susceptible to both the run (4.9 ypc, 13 TDs in SEC-only games) and pass (16 TDs vs. 2 INTs), but you know the Rebels will try and key in on disrupting Rogers and Leach's patented Air Raid. One way for the Rebels to do this would be with pressure, but that's not this defense's forte (16 sacks in seven conference games).
When Ole Miss Has the Ball
Ole Miss put up 703 yards of offense last week against Arkansas, but three turnovers held the Rebels back in a 42-27 loss to the Razorbacks. So it would seem safe to say as long as the Rebels hold on to the football, they should be in good shape. Ole Miss has the SEC's top running game with 31 rushing touchdowns. Freshman Quinshon Judkins has a conference-leading 1,383 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground this season. TCU transfer Zach Evans is approaching a 1,000-yard season as well.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart has proven to be a valuable asset for Lane Kiffin's offense as well with room to improve. Dart has passed for 2,363 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 552 yards. But he will need to be wary against a Mississippi State defense that leads the conference with 14 interceptions. Emmanuel Forbes is tied for the national lead with six picks, and he's taken three of those back for touchdowns.
Final Analysis
If there is one thing you can count on seeing in the Egg Bowl, it is a tense game. Ole Miss has taken each of the last two meetings in the series but the two rivals have split the last six matchups. This year's game will be full of offense and go down to the wire, and a crazy turnover likely will decide the fate of the game we will all be thankful for.

New Delhi (ILNS): The Uttar Pradesh government will now take a decision by November 25 on the removal or retention of Praveen Kumar, the District Magistrate (DM) of Hathras. This was informed to the court by the state government while the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court was hearing the Hathras case yesterday.
The court had asked specifically to the government on the issue. The DM had come under attack from all corners, following the secretive and late-night cremation of the victim near her home on September 30.
On this, the government said that a decision will be taken in this regard by the next hearing, which will be held on November 25. The state government told the court that nothing wrong has been found against the District Magistrate so far, and the then Superintendent of Police was removed for not handling the case properly and due to some initial lack of deliberation.
A bench of Justices Pankaj Mithal and Rajan Roy was hearing a PIL which the court had earlier registered suo motu in the case.
On the other hand, a counter affidavit was also presented on November 2, by the state government, District Magistrate Praveen Kumar, and the then SP Vikrant Veer. Additional Advocate General VK Shahi said that in the government's affidavit, a draft guideline for the last rites has been presented in the event of an incident like Hathras being repeated.
The District Magistrate said in his affidavit that after the incident an attempt was made to give political colour to the matter from Delhi itself. The leaders of some parties tried to take the dead body in their possession and the ambulance was also disturbed. He said the state was on high alert and in view of the circumstances, the funeral was decided in the night itself. Had it not been done, thousands of people would have gathered and tried to give it ethnic color. It was also said that funeral consent was obtained from the father of the deceased.
The then SP Hathras Vikrant Veer has also confirmed the statement of the Collector. It was said that kerosene was not used in the funeral. During the hearing, ADG, Law, and Order Prashant Kumar, Home Secretary Tarun Gaba, and the then SP Vikrant Veer were present in the courtroom in compliance with the previous order of the court.
The bench further ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a status report on the investigation in the case by November 25. Advocate Anurag Singh appeared on behalf of the CBI. The court was also informed by the state government that the compensation amount has been transferred to the bank account of the father of the deceased.
At the same time, 25 percent of the compensation received under the SC-ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act has been transferred to the father of the deceased, while the rest of the compensation amount is provided for filing the charge sheet and the decision of the trial court on the case. Regarding security also, it was told by the government that the responsibility of the security of the victim's family has been given to the CRPF.
Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra appeared on behalf of the accused. He requested the court not to make any such comment in relation to the investigation which adversely affected the rights of the accused.
Advocate Seema Kushwaha, appearing on behalf of the victim's family, reiterated the demand for the trial to be taken out of the state. At the same time, Senior Advocate JN Mathur appeared as Assistant Solicitor General SP Raju and Amicus Curiae on behalf of the Central Government.

The Rokkaku clan (六角氏 Rokkaku-shi) was a Japanese clan in Ōmi province.
Founded by Sasaki Yasutsuna of Ōmi province in the 13th century, the name Rokkaku was taken from their residence in Kyoto; however, many members of this family continued to be called Sasaki.
During the Muromachi period, members of the clan held the high office of shugo in various provinces.
During the Ōnin War (1467-77), the end of which marked the beginning of the Sengoku period, Kannonji Castle, the clan's stronghold, came under siege. After the defeat, the clan entered a period of slow decline.
Like other daimyō under constant threat from neighboring clans, the Rokkaku sought to improve their military strength by paying more attention to improving civil administration within their domain.
For example, in 1549, the Rokkaku eliminated a merchant guild in Mino and confiscated their property. So in their place they declared a free market.
The Rokakku clashed with the Azai clan and were defeated by Oda Nobunaga in 1568 during his march to Kyoto. In 1570 they were finally defeated by Shibata Katsuie in the siege of Chōkō-ji and lost their status as daimyō.
During the Edo period, the descendants of Rokkaku Yoshisuke became kōke.
