First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

And has made us kings and priests to his God and father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever Amen. Rev. 1:6
The sacrifice of Jesus has given to all believers the privileges that had belonged to ancient Israel (Exodus 29:1-9); 1 Peter 2:0-10). Jesus Christ has made believers to be priests and kings now, both witness and worship (Revelation 5:10).
Someone once said, "You can't go home again." But the good news of the Bible is you can go home again. Man was created for fellowship with God. Sin breaks that fellowship and causes separation from God. In spite of our rebellion God still loves us and through the death of Christ made provision for the forgiveness of our sins and our return.

The Census will be mailed to 134 million households by mid March. The Census counts everyone in the place where they live and sleep most of the time. So, for each person, the form asks for their name, gender, age, race, ethnicity and relationship. It also asks whether you rent or own a home. The 2010 Census does not ask for your immigration status, income, or tax information and will never ask for your social security number or bank account.
The idea of community has been one that has long been of interest to me.
One of the definitions I found was: "A group of interacting organisms sharing an environment. In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risk and other conditions may be present, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.

What are some of your favorite easter eggs, hidden objects, and homages in comics??
@dementedtheclown: Not sure I see the Easter Egg in the first panel. I mean yeah, it's a shot of Superman's costumes throughout the ages, but that's not necessarily obscured from the reader. The second panel I get, and is cool. Unfortunately, I don't have any to contribute myself.

Jim Aparo would hide easter eggs featuring the character that would be co-starring with Batman in the next issue of the Brave and the Bold. I used to love looking for the easter eggs as much as the reading the stories. Oh how I miss the old days.

Can't find the specific issue number/page (sorry), but I remember a Spider-Man comic where Spider-Man saves someone and after they thank him, he says "Everybody gets one." I just thought that was just a funny little nod to the family guy sketches.

UFC 76: Jardine's shining moment
UFC 76 was supposed to set up what may have been the biggest match in UFC history. After Chuck Liddell had been knocked out by Quinton Jackson and lost the UFC light heavyweight title, Liddell was on the road to a rematch.
His opponent, former "The Ultimate Fighter" star Keith Jardine, was expected to give him a spirited match but eventually be flattened.
The show, UFC's third event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif, also was to set up a new headliner in the division in Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, who was coming off winning a PRIDE tournament in 2005 and some felt was the actually the No. 1 fighter in the world at that weight.
Instead, it was a night of upsets, and in the eyes of the UFC promotion, vindication of all the criticism of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show.
Jardine, who didn't even make the finals during Season 2, scored a split decision over Liddell in the main event.
But the real vindication came a little earlier in the night when Forrest Griffin, the winner of Season 1, beat Rua via choke with 15 seconds left in the third round.
Liddell vs. Jardine was a three-round war. Jardine got the better of the standing exchanges, but Liddell's punches did tremendous visual damage and Jardine's face was a mass of cuts and bruises. Liddell didn't lose to a better fighter as much as a better-prepared fighter, who studied his style and countered Liddell's reliance on the home run punch.
Jardine was cut near the right eye during the first round and staggered at one point. The second round was the turning point as Jardine knocked Liddell down with a punch, and his confidence grew from there. Jardine was bleeding badly from the nose and eye but got more aggressive. By the end of Round 2, he was bleeding from the ear and top of his head. Jardine really took in the third round with kicks to the leg and body, opening Liddell up for effective punches. In particular, the left side of Liddell's rib cage took a major beating. Liddell kept going for the knockout, and he kept getting countered.
Coming into the fight Griffin was regarded as entertaining but not a threat to championship-caliber opponents. Few gave him a serious chance against Rua.
Rua was not at his best because of a bad knee, but forgotten is that Griffin was essentially fighting with one arm, with a shoulder that needed surgery.
Jon Fitch scored the biggest win of his UFC career with a split-decision victory over Diego Sanchez, which put him in line for a championship match. It was a tough fight, with Fitch's size advantage making the difference.
In a battle of stars who were well-known in Japan, Lyoto Machida out-pointed Kazuhiro Nakamura, a former national champion in judo. The crowd was quiet, not really knowing either fighter. Machida won on a unanimous decision.
There were no knockouts on a card billed as "Knockout." Six of the matches went the distance, and the other three finished via submission.
Quoteworthy: "There's a hunger thing that you have to have to be an elite fighter, and I just didn't see a Chuck Liddell who was as hungry as he used to be." – UFC president Dana White broaching the subject of Liddell's retirement two years ago.

Ever since our stay at Tune Hotel, Downtown Kuala Lumpur, Rubel and I talked about staying in one of their Philippine-based hotels. And given that they have plenty in and out of Manila, we decided to try one of their nearby branches, and booked 2-nights in their Ortigas branch (summer of 2014).

The Buffet International Cuisine: A great selection of global and local flavors
I started looking for wedding venues in Quezon City right after getting engaged, since we wanted a nearby space that could be turned into both a ceremony and reception place. We've already decided to do a very simple wedding, so planning things on a very limited budget had to be carefully considered. I believe that we've come to think and act the way we do due to us being budget travelers. So we definitely wanted our practical and resourceful side to show, without leaving out a few wedding traditions.

My 14 Travel Essentials --- What's yours?
***UPDATED LIST*** I'm obsessive compulsive. But I've always seen this 'trait' as an advantage. Not only does being OC keep me on my toes. It also helps me to be coordinated and disciplined at all times. Being an OC traveler has certainly pushed me to be more organized with my trips. And whenever I plan my travels (local or international), I always make sure to produce certain 'lists' that will help show my progress in the planning stage. This way, I won't have any excuse to forget things.
Moving forward, I have my (1) things to do, (2) things to bring, (3) trip itinerary, (4) and of course, my expense/budget sheet. These four elements always assist me from the beginning until the end of my trip.
Moving forward, I have my (1) things to do, (2) things to bring, (3) trip itinerary, (4) and of course, my expense/budget sheet. These four elements always assist me from the beginning until the end of my trip.
Now, as a traveler who's always on the look out for reasonably-priced trip deals, I'm also constantly searching for affordable travel essentials that will help keep my trips more meaningful. So with that in mind, I'll be sharing to you some of my travel must-haves. Some of which never fail to keep my trips fun and hassle-free.
My Travel Essentials:
1) Point & Shoot Camera - I traded my DSLR Nikon D40 for a Nikon P300. Yes, it was a downgrade. But purchasing the P300 was super worth it! Not only did it lessen the load off of my shoulder (considering its weight), the bulk of having to bring the camera bag, my lenses, weren't a burden to me anymore. I did enjoy having a DSLR back in the day. But I enjoy more, the lightweight wonder of my new camera.
The Nikon P300 is remarkable for a Point and Shoot. It has a Nikkor 4.2X wide optical zoom, and a bright f/1.8 lens. Other than that, it's also able to capture FULL HD movie/s. Awesome gadget, right? :)

Why You Should Save For Vacations and How
A 2013 Philippine Statistic Authority study says that around 9.4 million Filipinos aging fifteen and up traveled within the country for leisure in 2012. That number sounds like a lot of people. But in fact, that is just barely 15% of that age group, and not even 10% of the country's total population. Roughly 85% of Filipinos stay within their home and work vicinities all year long. For Filipinos, traveling usually means visiting relatives. Leisurely vacations are something we rarely give priority to.

The first Green Hotel in Libis: Microtel Acropolis
It feels different when you've been to a place that you've passed by a few times, yet you never really took the time to appreciate it. That's what I felt towards Libis and nearby Eastwood City. Now, regardless of these two areas being located in Quezon City (my hometown), I still never made the time to explore much of either, as it was a far commute from where I lived. But when I was recently given a chance to stay at Microtel by Wyndham - Acropolis, I realized how much the locale has changed since the last time I was there.

This stuff has helped several friends cope with the stress of an unexpected death in the family, so much so that they have asked me to get a bottle for them. I give it to my dogs before we travel and also before going to the vet or having surgery (spay). It really calms them down. Good before you go to the dentist, too.

"Our family of 25 spent a wonderful week at this amazing house! There was plenty to do in the house, on the lake, and around the property for all ages. You will never experience the feeling of being crowded within the house or around the property. We espically enjoyed the game room and theather room. The pool and spa were enjoyed by everyone of all ages. Jim and Deeny were a joy to work with and were extremely helpful! Our family will definitely consider returning in the future for another wonderful week!"Guest: Mandy R. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 15, 2015View listing
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a very nice house. The décor is a bit dated but it was immaculately maintained. The kitchen could better equipped (mixing bowls, larger cutting board) and needs more storage but overall great experience and great Thanksgiving weekend."Guest: A guest from Atlanta, GA Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: December 2, 2014View listing
"We just returned from this beautiful home on Lake Oconee and would give it 10 stars ...if we could! Let me start by saying.... it is a home... not a rental! This was the best stocked kitchen I have ever been in. Lots of silverware, plates and utensils, pans and cookie sheets and most importantly... refridgerator space! The pictures don't show all of the space that is in this awesome house; for example, there is a huge dining table with 12 chairs open to the kitchen as well as a tall bar table with 4 chairs all in the kitchen area. There was also a hidden toy room off of the upstairs TV room that simply had our 5 little ones (under 6 year olds) so in love with that they actually wanted to sleep in there. It was full of toys and so private from the other parts of the home that they played doll house for hours! The pool and spa were used all day ...every day! Lots of lounge chairs to sit around the pool to get sun and plenty of tables with umbrellas to get some shade! There was a large porch with an oversized glass table and large cushioned chairs and stools (which overlooked the lake) that was used every morning for coffee and at night for cards. It was simply fabulous! The owners were extremely helpful and checked on us frequently to make sure that they were no problems. I would highly recommend this property to multi generational families because there was so much space to spread out that no one ever felt crowded or couldn't find a quiet place to read! LOVE... LOVE ...LOVED IT!!"Guest: Shelly B. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 17, 2014View listing
"We just spent 3 wonderful weeks in this incredible home! Sharon was wonderful to work with! From adults to teenagers, this house offers a place for all. The house is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities one could want for cooking and entertaining. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a lake vacation with the comforts of home. Can't wait to go back next year!"Guest: Caryn B Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 19, 2015View listing

Accepting 10 per cent royalty in the Petroleum Bill is a big concession , , INTERVIEW If the PIB is now saying we should just improve on it by only 10 percent royalty to the oilproducing communities, it's a big concession.

Wheeling Jesuit Hosts 54th Annual Commencement
O'Brien, who is celebrating 50 years with the institution, delivered his address to 322 graduates from 16 states and 10 foreign countries during Wheeling Jesuit's commencement exercises on May 19, in the Alma Grace McDonough Center. Prior to delivering his speech, O'Brien was presented with an honorary degree by Wheeling Jesuit President Richard A. Beyer.
"I have a rather long exposure to Jesuit education in West Virginia and have picked up some convictions along the way about how it works and how it can continue to be of influence in your future lives," O' Brien said.
Referring to a book entitled "Heroic Leadership," authored by a former Jesuit turned finance executive, O'Brien said he chooses it as a guiding source "because it treats its topic in quite concrete and practical terms, measuring success by factual, historical results." The book speaks about four "pillars" as the fundamental internal supports for St. Ignatius, the Jesuit founder, and his vision of life. The four pillars include self-awareness, ingenuity, love and heroism. O'Brien then briefly detailed the importance of each of the pillars in the graduates' lives and careers.
"What I am proposing is that this same value system, enunciated in terms of character and career development, in terms of human growth and flourishing, has been offered to you, embedded in your liberal arts, Christian, Catholic, Jesuit education," O'Brien said.
O'Brien also addressed the graduates telling them that roots of their Jesuit education dates back more than 450 years.
"I hope that Wheeling Jesuit University has provided you with the tools for life, leadership and service for others," he said, reminding the Class of 2012 that all tools need to be polished, cared for and sharpened throughout life.
Valedictorian Megan Newrones of Medina, Ohio, spoke to her classmates about a prayer by Fr. Pedro Arrupe entitled "Fall in Love." The prayer states that "what you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything."
"Everyone has fallen in love with something at Wheeling Jesuit University. What was it?" Newrones asked as she reflected on the last four years at WJU and how the Jesuit education has nurtured the graduates to use their talents and knowledge to serve others.
Newrones spoke of future success and advised her class to follow Arrupe's advice. "Fall in love, stay in love and love will decided everything."
Student medals and awards and their recipients that were given during the ceremony include:
The Henry F. Paul Medals for Highest 4-year Averages
Halie Cottrill, St. Marys, W.Va.
Medals for Second Highest Award
Maria Petrasko, Stow, Ohio

Scientists: 79% of oil spill still 'lurks in the deep'
Lynn Herrmann
Aug 18, 2010 in
New research challenges the Obama administration's stance on the BP oil spill as being "absolutely incorrect" and shows at least 79 percent of the oil remains under the Gulf of Mexico's surface, far from view and wreaking more havoc on marine life
Two new scientific reports have raised serious alarms over BP's Gulf of Mexico debacle, suggesting 79 percent of the crude oil that spewed into the Gulf remains concealed below the ocean surface.
A report released by
University of Georgia researchers
on Monday, has concluded most of the oil remains as underwater plumes and continues to threaten marine life. Their research is drawn from data analysis of the National Incident Command (NIC) Report issued on August 2, in which a
pie chart "oil budget"
determined only 25 percent of the spilled oil remained in the Gulf.
"One major misconception is that oil that has dissolved into water is gone and, therefore, harmless,'' Charles Hopkinson, Georgia Sea Grant director and a marine scientist at the University of Georgia, said in a statement on Monday.
The group noted a government oversight, the fact that only oil at the surface can evaporate. Much of the oil remains trapped below the surface in a toxic mix with dispersants.
"The oil is still out there, and it will likely take years to completely degrade. We are still far from a complete understanding of what its impacts are.''
Samantha Joye, professor of marine sciences at UGA, added that both the Sea Grant report and NIC report are best estimates and coordinated research must be sustained to grasp the world's worst maritime oil disaster. She issued a terse statement, noting neither report take into account escaped hydrocarbon gases.
"That's a gaping hole," Joye said, "because hydrocarbon gasses are a huge portion of what was ejected from the well."
Speaking on Tuesday, Hopkinson said: "The idea that 75 per cent of the oil is gone and is of no further concern to the environment is just
absolutely incorrect
," according to
In a second report released by scientists from the
University of South Florida
on Tuesday, research shows tremendous amounts of toxic oil has settled to the ocean floor.
Using UV light for detecting subsurface oil, the research team found much of the oil has moved much farther east in the Gulf than originally thought, settling into a deep fissure that starts just 40 miles from Panama City Beach.
The Desoto Canyon is a crucial undersea canyon stretching from near the Florida panhandle to the Deepwater Horizon site.
David Hollander, a marine geochemist at USF and part of a 10-day expedition aboard the research vessel Weatherbird II, said oil could impact the Florida panhandle region if large storms or hurricanes target the area.
"The conduit aspect," says Hollander, "that there may be a mechanism to bring subsurface oils with dispersants potentially to the continental margin seems to be potentially reality."
Hollander notes bacteria on the Gulf's surface is quite sensitive to the oil while plankton on the ocean bottom is impacted by the mix of oil and dispersants used by BP.
"The smaller organisms seem to be affected more quickly. So things like fish larvae, which could see small droplets, could consume them," he said, according to WUSF. "And that's 100 percent oil. Fish eggs - if they're in that environment - they may not be consuming it, but it's like paint in the air. You breathe it at low concentrations for a long enough time, you're still going to have that response."
Desoto Canyon
is one of the primary spawning grounds for fish species off the Florida coast. Preliminary sediment and water tests taken from the edge of the canyon and near the spill site show "a dense constellation of microscopic blue stars on the sediment surface and in the filter pads," according to the USF report. The resulting signals match BP's MC252 oil.
The two new reports defy
recent government statements
suggesting the oil spill is virtually nonexistent.
Speaking at the White House on August 4, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) director Jane Lubchenco said: "At least 50 percent of the oil that was released is now completely gone from the system, and most of the remainder is degrading rapidly or is being removed from the beaches."
On morning news programs earlier this month, White House energy advisor Carol Browner said: "More than three-quarters of the oil is gone. The vast majority of the oil is gone."
Still,there are experts choosing to support the government's assertion on the disappearing oil, suggesting an act of flabbergasting is likely to occur once we all realize how insignificant the spill was.
Edward Overton, an environmental chemist and professor emeritus at Louisiana State University, said in an interview last week that "I don't think it's still lurking out there," in obvious agreement over dissipation of the crude oil.
"The Gulf is incredible in its resiliency and ability to clean itself up," he added. "I think we are going to be flabbergasted by the little amount of damage that has been caused by this spill."
Justin Kenney, spokesman for NOAA, in a statement on Tuesday argued for support of the government report, noting its calculations were based "on direct measurements whenever possible and the best available scientific estimates where direct measurements were not possible."
He then added: "Additionally, the government and independent scientists involved in the oil budget have been clear that oil and its remnants left in the water represent a potential threat, which is why we continue to rigorously monitor, test and assess short and long term ramifications."
Speaking to the Associated Press, Hopkinson noted the misrepresentation of government data in stating: "The bottom line is most of it is still out there. There's nothing in the report to substantiate the 26 percent."
USF researchers are conducting analysis on oil contamination in larger organisms such as fish larvae which won't be available for several weeks.
The Weatherbird II is scheduled to make another Gulf trip in September.

Australians short-changed by one-off mining boom
A surge in profits generated during Australia's decade-long mining investment boom has failed to deliver the long-term economic benefits Australians deserve, according to a new report into the economic benefits of the resources boom.
The Australian Resources Boom: Sharing the Benefits by SGS Economics and Planning shows that record mining company profits have far outstripped growth in resource taxes and royalties. Meanwhile, the array of deductions available to mining companies leave them with a corporate tax rate lower than any other industry.
Strengthen super, don't raise pension age - ACTU
Strengthening the superannuation system, not raising the pension age to 70, should be the way the Government deals with budget pressures as the population ages, the ACTU said.
"The Government should reduce the superannuation tax concessions that disproportionately benefit high income earners and move as quickly as possible to compulsory 12 per cent superannuation contributions to ensure that ordinary workers can afford a decent standard of living in retirement," said ACTU President Ged Kearney.
Congrats: CFMEU women win QCU Emma Miller Awards
CFMEU QLD/NT organiser Brynn Williams and site delegate Renelle Innes have been awarded Emma Miller Awards for their outstanding contribution to the Queensland labour movement.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Netatmo, an innovation company developing consumer electronics for a better and connected lifestyle, unveils JUNE, the first bracelet that measures sun exposure. It advises women how to protect their skin on a daily basis from the effects of the sun. Sun exposure can cause sunburn and lead to premature skin aging, even on overcast days. JUNE and its companion App offer a new serenity in the sun.
JUNE tracks UV intensity in real-time and the total sun exposure absorbed by the user's skin throughout the day. Depending on the woman's skin type, the App calculates the suggested maximum daily exposure. Every woman can monitor their sun dose measured in percentage throughout the day. To avoid sun damage, the App can notify the user when to protect their skin. The App also features a summary of time spent in the sun, allowing the user to see when the UV rays impact on the skin was most intense during the day.
The App advises women on how to maintain beautiful skin. The bracelet observes the habits of the user and the companion App determines the recommended sun protection for their skin type whether it be applying SPF, putting on a hat, wearing sun glasses or seeking out shade. Versatile, JUNE can be worn as a bracelet or a brooch. Created by French jewelry designer Camille Toupet in the spirit of a diamond with glimmering facets, JUNE comes in three colors: gold, platinum and gunmetal.
Netatmo, an Award-Winning Brand
Netatmo was awarded 3 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards in 2014, 2 of which were for JUNE, which won in the "Wearable Technologies" and the "Tech for a Better World" categories. This follows netatmo's 2013 winning streak where the brand also received 3 CES awards.

That's my view, anyway.
Let's get something clear. 'Introversion' is not shyness, social ineptitude, timidity or slow-mindedness. Nor is it stand-offishness. Being naturally quiet doesn't mean you are incapable of leadership, nor that you will just blend passively into the background and do as you're told.
Up to half of the population tends towards introversion. Up to half. Neither quietness nor extroversion is abnormal. In Western cultures, being extrovert is considered more desirable, and quiet folk are often encouraged to 'be more outgoing'. So it's worth noting that many Eastern cultures value thoughtful, gentle souls.
The key differences between introverts and extroverts lie in the way we process stumuli. Extroverts thrive on lots of external stimulation, on recharging their energy with other people, thinking on their feet, competition and nurturing a big network. By contrast, introverts need time alone to recharge, breaks from external stimulation, and time and space to think, because we tend to process information more deeply rather than faster. We often prefer to work collaboratively rather than competitively, and value fewer, deeper relationships.
Noise masks insight.
Extroverts thrive in the very situations that drain more introverted folk. Open plan offices directly reduce introverts' ability to think clearly, while noisy parties can be challenging at best, and downright unpleasant at worst. Small talk can feel awkward and clunky.
I believe everyone needs quietness to some degree. We all come up against personal obstacles, setbacks, heartache and mortality. Quiet reflection is a valuable resource as we navigate through these times.
In what seems like an increasingly war-torn world, peace thrives under quiet appreciation, gratitude and respect, not in the crash of conflict.
There's nothing to fix.
Quiet, self-contained folk can sometimes felt at odds with the way other people operate – a bit inadequate around more articulate, extrovert people whose very nature is held up as 'the way to be'. Yet if you believe that double-speed is the only way to go, you risk losing the valuable insights of quieter colleagues and family members.
As a coach with more introvert than extrovert in my makeup, I understand that quiet folk aren't and shouldn't try to be extroverts. We're fine as we are, and the world needs both perspectives. When we accept that quietness is OK too, we can let go of taking ourselves too seriously and show up in our true colours.
We all have a core of inner wisdom that is available to us at any moment when we allow our mind to clear. I can help you cut through the noise and confusion of everyday overload to allow your wisdom to surface more and more often.
So what would you like to achieve or influence? Where would you like to be more visible? What frustrations would you like to overcome? What do you have to give that you're hesitating to offer? What do you know you're capable of? What would make your heart sing?
And if you have been knocked off balance
by workplace bullying, stress, overload, or anything else at work that has left you feeling diminished and disconnected, you'll find inspiration and resources at

OBJECTIVES: The distribution of left ventricular (LV) fibrosis and the percent fibrosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) were evaluated using late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) MRI. Then the relation with the LV ejection fraction (EF) and deceleration time (DT), an index of diastolic function obtained using echocardiography, was investigated.
METHODS: LGEMRI at 20 min after intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA (0.15 +/-0.03 mmol/kg) was performed in 17 patients with DCM. The distribution of the LV enhanced area and LGE rate (%) were calculated. EF, as well as E/A ratio and DT were obtained using echocardiography.
RESULTS: LGE was observed in 15 out of 17 patients (88%) and the enhanced region appeared to represent myocardial fibrosis. The LV fibrosis was often found in the intraventricular septum (IVS), but there were no differences in its distribution. The LGE rate (%) had a correlation between cardiac magnetic resonance ejection fraction (CMREF) (Y = 51.7 – 2.1X [R(2) = 0.23, P<0.001]) and DT (Y = 162.2 +12.0X [R(2) = 0.35, P<0.001]).
CONCLUSIONS: The LV fibrosis is often found in the IVS with DCM. A correlation exists between LGE rate (%) to EF on CMR and DT on echocardiography in patients with DCM.
