Gestational Diabetes Testing Protocol
- Author: Sonal J Patel, MD; Chief Editor: George T Griffing, MD more...
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy, affects 2-10% pregnancies in the United States.[1, 2] Women with gestational diabetes have a 35-60% chance of developing diabetes mellitus over 10-20 years after pregnancy.[1]
See Clinical Findings in Diabetes Mellitus, a Critical Images slideshow, to help identify various cutaneous, ophthalmologic, vascular, and neurologic manifestations of DM.
Hyperglycemia in pregnancy results in both maternal and fetal complications. Maternal complications consist of hypertension, preeclampsia, increased risk of cesarean delivery, and development of diabetes mellitus after pregnancy. Fetal complications include macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, polycythemia, increased perinatal mortality, congenital malformation, hyperbilirubinemia, respiratory distress syndrome, and hypocalcaemia. Long-term consequences of macrosomia include increased risk of glucose intolerance, diabetes, and obesity in childhood.[3]
The Western diet of high fat, high carbohydrate, and high sodium foods is a significant contributor to excessive weight gain during pregnancy and, thus, a risk factor for developing diabetes. Other risk factors, which should be assessed at the first prenatal visit, include obesity, age greater than 25 years, prior history of gestational diabetes, first-degree relative with diabetes, history of poor obstetrical outcome, and certain ethnic groups.[4]
Women with underlying insulin resistance are at risk for developing GDM. This progression to GDM is thought to be due to physiologic changes of late pregnancy. In pregnancy, human placental lactogen, which is structurally similar to growth hormone, and tumor-necrosis factor-alpha induce changes in the insulin receptor and in post-receptor signaling. Changes in the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor, decreased phosphorylation of tyrosine kinase on the insulin receptor, and alterations in insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and the intracytoplasmic phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) appear to be involved in reducing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle tissue.[5]
The Australian Carbohydrate Intolerance Study in Pregnant Women (ACHOIS) was a large randomized control trial that investigated the role of screening and treatment of gestational diabetes in reducing perinatal complications, improving maternal outcomes, and affecting quality of life.[6] This trial of 1000 participants showed a composite reduction in serious perinatal morbidity and mortality (death, shoulder dystocia, bone fracture, and nerve palsy) in the intervention group compared to the conventional group. Also, a decrease in prevalence in macrosomia in the intervention group infants and reduced rate of gestational hypertension in the intervention group was found.[6]
Another large, multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted in the United States recruited women with mild gestational diabetes mellitus. One group received treatment consisting of dietary changes, self-monitoring of blood glucose and insulin if needed and the other received the usual prenatal care. Outcomes with respect to perinatal and obstetrical outcomes were compared.[7] This trial of 19,665 participants used slightly different parameters to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus but had similar outcomes. There was a significant reduction in macrosomia with the treatment group as well as reduction in rates of Cesarean delivery, shoulder dystocia, preeclampsia or gestational hypertension and weight gain.
Finally, the HAPO trial (Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes), which included over 23,000 pregnant women, sought to clarify risks of adverse outcomes associated with various degrees of maternal glucose intolerance less severe than overt diabetes mellitus.[8] The study results showed positive linear correlations between increasing levels of fasting, 1-hour and 2-hour plasma glucose after oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), and macrosomia and cord-blood C-peptide levels above the 90th percentile. Weaker associations were noted between glucose levels and cesarean delivery and neonatal hypoglycemia. The secondary outcomes of premature delivery, shoulder dystocia, hyperbilirubinemia, and preeclampsia were also noted to increase in incidence with higher levels of post OGTT glucose levels.[8]
The HAPO trial showed that maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes increased significantly with maternal hyperglycemia even at lower threshold ranges than prior diagnostic criteria for GDM. This prompted the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy study groups (IADPSG), whose committee consists of members from US and International diabetes organizations, including American Diabetes Association (ADA), and obstetrical organizations, to revise recommendations for diagnosing GDM. Whereas previously in the 2005 Fifth International Workshop-Conference on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus screening was based on risk stratification, now the IADPSG along with the ADA recommend that all women with no prior history of diabetes undergo 75-g Glucola oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 weeks gestation.[9, 10]
All pregnant women need to be screened for gestational diabetes. The timing of the screening depends on risk factor assessment. Pregnant women with no known history of diabetes are screened at 24-28 weeks gestation. Women at high risk for GDM are screened at the first prenatal visit. A 75-g 2-hour OGTT is the test of choice in both groups.[9]
The risk factors for GDM are as follows:
Increased weight (ie, BMI greater than or equal to 25)
Decreased physical activity
First degree relative with diabetes
Member of ethnic group with high prevalence of diabetes (African American, Latino, Native American, Asian American, Pacific Islander)
Prior history of GDM or delivery of a baby greater than 9 pounds
Metabolic abnormalities - Hypertension, HDL less than 35 mg/dL, triglyceride level greater than 250 mg/dL
HbA1C 5.7% or higher
Impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose testing in the past
Evidence of insulin resistance (acanthosis nigricans or severe obesity)
History of cardiovascular disease
The 75-g Glucola OGTT is best performed after an overnight fast; the diagnosis is made if fasting plasma glucose is documented at 92mg/dL or higher, a 1-hr plasma glucose of 180 mg/dL or higher, or a 2-hr plasma glucose of 153 mg/dL or higher. The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is confirmed with a minimum of one abnormal value. The cut-offs were based on the prior HAPO study outcomes.[11]
The standard criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes is as follows:
HbA1c of 6.5% or higher
Fasting plasma glucose of 126 mg/dL or higher or
2-h plasma glucose of 200 mg/dL or higher during an 75-g OGTT or
A symptomatic patient with random plasma glucose of 200 or higher (all plasma glucose values are recorded as mg/dL).
The pregnant women who meet the above criteria are considered to have overt type 2 diabetes mellitus.[9]
No known contraindications to gestational diabetes testing protocol, although some patients may experience nausea, gastric irritation, and delayed emptying from the Glucola.
Technical Considerations
Two major changes from the previous diagnostic guidelines are lower diagnostic cut points for the fasting, 1-hour and 2-hour plasma glucose measurements and needing only one abnormal value to make the diagnosis versus 2 abnormal values in the previous guidelines. The implications of increased health care costs and a predictable increase in the diagnosis of GDM, possibly up to 18% of all pregnancies, have not been studied yet.[11] Also, the intensity of monitoring and treating these women is not yet known in terms of maternal and neonatal outcomes.[9, 11]
Comparatively, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has not adopted the IADPSG and ADA guidelines in gestational diabetes testing protocol.[12] In the most recent committee opinion, September 2011, ACOG recommends screening for GDM at initial prenatal visit by history, risk factors or 50 gram/1-hour OGTT. The diagnosis of GDM continues to be based on the 100 gram/3-hour tolerance test using the Carpenter and Coustan cutoffs of fasting less than 95mg/dL, 1-hr less than 180 mg/dl, 2-hr less than 155 mg/dL, and 3-hr less than 140 mg/dL, with 2 or more abnormal values to confirm diagnosis.
As stated above, diagnosis of GDM is made if any of the following plasma glucose values are exceeded after 75 grams Glucola is given:
Fasting of 92 mg/dL or higher (5.1 mmol/L)
1 hour of 180 mg/dL or higher (10 mmol/L)
2 hour of 153 mg/dL or higher (8.5 mmol/L)

'The Hangover Part II' Trailer (Video)
5:48 PM PDT 3/31/2011 by Borys Kit
Warner Bros. unveiled promo at CinemaCon Thursday.
Warners just released the trailer for The Hangover Part II. It premiered Thursday at CinemaCon, the annual conference for theatre owners and exhibitors where, according to our peeps, this KILLED.
And how can we argue. This is a damn good trailer that promises more laughs and mayhem. And you know when sequels lamely tell the same story just in a different setting, or bring back the same characters in some lame fashion just to shoehorn them back? This trailer manages to pull off the feat, even rub our faces in it, yet make us love it.

We book a room for 1 night. After we went the hostel, the owner was not there. We called her and she said there is no reservation belongs to us and there is no available room. We had already paid the deposit and she didn't pay that back and she told us website is taking that money. This left us in a very difficult position because we had to find another place at 11:00 pm. If a place is available on the site guests doesn't have to remind themselves with a call.

The main reason I scored as high as I did for this hostel, was out of sheer luck that the 2 people we had to share with in our 4 bed 5 person room canceled and we got the room to ourselves. Otherwise it was quiet uncomfortable beds, the one fan was broken and there was no breakfast at this bed and breakfast. The lady was friendly enough however they asked to wait outside 20 min past check in time, and the rooms did not lock so security was quiet poor.

In the context of federal income tax, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has organized tax values in terms of schedules or tables. Tax schedule or table helps the citizens determine the value of the tax incurred for a certain year. The federal tax schedule is constructed in accordance to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. There are four types of tax rate schedules and these are based on the filing status of taxpayer. Each type corresponds to a schedule name. These four types are: single (Schedule X), married filing jointly or qualifying widow or widower (Schedule Y-1), married filing separately (Schedule Y-2) and the head of household (Schedule Z). Each schedule is divided into 3 columns; the first and second columns denote the income range while the third column denotes the value of tax to be paid.
Here is the 2004 Federal Income Tax Schedule (based on IRS):
Schedule X (Single)
Lowest ValueHighest ValueTax Rate$0$7,15010.0%$7,151$29,05015.0%$29,051$70,35025.0%$70,351$146,75028.0%$146,751 $319,10033.0%$319,101Above35.0%
Schedule Y-1 (Married filing jointly or qualified widow or widower)
Lowest ValueHighest ValueTax Rate$0$14,30010.0%$14,301$58,10015.0%$58,101$117,25025.0%$117,251$178,65028.0%$178,651 $319,10033.0%$319,101above35.0%
Schedule Y-2 (Married filing separately)
Lowest ValueHighest ValueTax Rate$0$7,15010.0%$7,150$29,05015.0%$29,051$58,62525.0%$58,626$89,32528.0%$89,326$159,55033.0%$159,551above35.0%
Schedule Z (Head of Household)
Lowest ValueHighest ValueTax Rate$0$10,20010.0%$10,201$38,90015.0%$38,901$100,50025.0%$100,501 $162,70028.0%$162,701 $319,10033.0%$319,101 above35.0%
It is a must to know the filing status of the taxpayer to make the tax schedule effective. After determining the filing status, the taxpayer must check the taxable income for the year and find the range where the income belongs. For example, a taxpayer belongs to the single filing status and has an income of $50,000. The proper table to be used is Schedule X since this table is for single status filers. The taxpayer will be on the income range of $29,051 to $70,350; this pertains to a tax rate of 25.0%. The calculation goes like this: for each bracket that you have skipped, you will have to deduct the highest with the lowest amount and multiply it by the tax rate for that range and the answer for each bracket will be added up including the taxable amount minus the lowest value of the income for the taxpayer's bracket. In the case of our example; $7,150 will be subtracted by $0 then the difference will be multiplied by 0.10. For the next bracket, $29,050 will be subtracted by $7,151 then the difference will be multiplied by 0.15. For the next bracket, we have the value of the income, $50, 000, will be subtracted by $29,051 then the difference will be multiplied by 0.25. The answers for the three brackets will be added up and the sum will be $9,237.1 and that is the value of tax that will be paid.

A garage in the 8000 block of Chestnut Street caught fire this morning.
There were no injuries. The cause of the fire and dollar amount of property damage have not yet been determined, Deputy Chief James Case said in a prepared statement.
When fire crews arrived at 3:32 a.m., a detached garage was filled with a large volume of smoke and fire, he said. Firefighters spent two hours extinguishing the blaze and investigating the scene.
We Energies was called in to assist with numerous downed power lines. As the Fire Department left the property, some neighboring homes were without power, Case said.

People with severely leaky heart valves that cause no symptoms a situation thought to be relatively harmless actually are in danger of dying and should consider surgery to get the problem fixed right away, a new study suggests.
Such people are five times more likely to die of a heart problem or develop heart failure or an irregular heartbeat than those with mild leakage, researchers at the Mayo Clinic reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.
Their study involved the mitral valve, which connects the upper left chamber with the heart's main pumping chamber. If the valve's two flaps don't close tightly, blood can leak back into the upper chamber when the heart contracts.
Most people don't feel anything, but if it gets gets worse, they can develop shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness and palpitations.
Doctors can detect the condition by listening to the heart, but usually don't recommend surgery to repair or replace the valve unless it causes symptoms or damages the heart itself.
The Mayo researchers used a relatively new ultrasound technique to take measurements of the hearts of 456 patients who had leaky valves but no symptoms and found that the size of the hole in the valve was the strongest predictor of how the patient would fare. Without surgery, those with bigger holes about the width of a pencil did the worst.
"When it's severe, it's fixable. And we can determine when it's severe now with new techniques," said Dr. Maurice Enriquez-Sarano, who led the study.
Of the estimated 2.7 million Americans with notable leakage, about 600,000 are probably candidates for early surgery, Sarano said.
Study participants were enrolled between 1991 and 2000. All had leaky heart valves without symptoms and no other heart problems. Their disorder was classified mild, moderate or severe based on the volume of their leakage and the size of the valve hole.
Participants were monitored and treated independently by their own physicians, and updated information on the patients was collected by the researchers in 2002.
Their findings showed age, diabetes and the valve hole were strong predictors of survival.
Eventually, 232 had heart surgery, all but two for valve repair or replacement. The researchers said surgery reduced the patients' risk of heart failure and death and their life expectancy returned to normal.
Dr. Catherine Otto of the University of Washington in Seattle, said the study is a big step forward because physicians can use the measurement to tell patients what to expect if they have a valve problem. But she said the measurements are challenging to make, and the data apply only to those without any other heart problem.
"I don't want every patient to rush off and demand surgery tomorrow," said Otto, co-author of an accompanying editorial in the journal. "Some people will go to surgery earlier if their surgery risk is low and their valve is repairable."The editorial writers and Sarano said the next step is a randomized study in severe cases that compares early surgery with surgery done when symptoms appear.

the internal rate of return or the IRR and the profitability index or the PI. like in reinvestment in the business or for the settlement of dividends (1). The net present value calculation also takes into account all the cash flows in the project rather than stopping after a limited time frame (1). After all. The fundamental reason for this is the inclusion of cash flows which are the most reliable measures compared to the earnings that are artificial. When the NPV is equated to zero. the easiest and the most accurate one is the NPV. The merit of this approach is that you end up with a single number at the end. the NPV discounts all the cash flows as it considers the time value of money. This means that if the IRR is greater. These approaches are net present value or the NPV. The cash flows coming out of the project can be used for the corporate needs. then the project is found to be acceptable. Of the three. The IRR is similar to the NPV in all respects and involves simple calculation and understanding. The interest rate existing in the capital market does not have a direct impact. the discount rate of the project has to be approved.If I am in a situation to assess the profitability of a project and conclude whether my company should move forward and go for investment in it. The second approach I would like to apply is the internal rate of return of the project. If the value of the NPV is greater than zero. the rate obtained is the internal rate of return (1). These would help in the evaluation of the feasibility of the project. Finally. . I would consider three approaches. only the internal cash flows of the project (1). a dollar today is of greater value than a dollar in the future.
In the hard times of taking decisions.The third and the final method I would employ is the profitability index or the PI of the project. J. S. divided by the initial investment. B. Ross. It is the job of the managers to ascertain whether a particular project can be approved or a set of people can be recruited in order to generate profits for the company. be it in the present or in the future. Corporate Finance: Core Principles& Applications (2nd ed. but it is merely a ratio and does not factor in the project magnitude. To assess the risk related to a project.). There is scope for comparison of two projects parallel. This makes it useful only in combination with NPV.. managers tend to take risks which might impact the consequences. Westerfield. (2009)." (1) If the calculated PI of a project is greater than 1. & Jordan. New York: McGraw-Hill Irwin. The PI can be of import in this manner..

There has to be thorough analysis of the risk associated with this kind of decision making. provided the projects are independent and mutually exclusive. the project can be accepted.
the degree of risk would be greater for a new product rather than a cost reduction proposal. this analysis would let one know where detailed information is needed. the extent to which the NPV measurement is sensitive and responsive to the variations in the assumptions made is assessed (1). a dollar in hand today is definitely worth more than one in the future. we consider all the cost and income in the time period. For example. Similarly the cost could have . So there has to thorough breakeven analysis and setting of lower value which would ensure minimum losses if the product were to fail. In the case of new product introduction. In the sensitivity analysis of a project. it could have been high in the initial phases and then withered off. let's say one year. This analysis lets the managers know the level of expectations from the company point of view about the different factors that affect a specific variable. The problem in this analysis is it does not explicitly say when the actual revenues came through. I do not concur with the views of my colleagues. An example for this would be the study of the rise in gas prices and its influence on the sales of SUVs. If there is a large gap in the NPV values. there is a need for heavy investment and the uncertainty is also high prior to market introduction. In the analysis of the average revenue and the average cost." (1).point can be used. The scenario analysis "evaluates all possible scenarios where one scenario calls for the integration of all factors.

Seem to have lost your appetite? Looking at too many Instagram food images may have something to do with that. A BYU study found a connection between viewing too many food images and a decreased desire to eat certain foods "by making you feel like you've already experienced eating that food," according to the BYU article, "How Instagram can ruin your dinner."
"In a way, you're becoming tired of that taste without even eating the food," said Ryan Elder, the study co-author and BYU professor in the article. "It's sensory boredom — you've kind of moved on. You don't want that taste experience anymore."
Elder and Jeff Larson, a fellow BYU marketing professor and co-author, conducted their studies with 232 people who looked at and rated food images on how appetizing they looked.
Half of the participants looked at salty foods and the other half looked at sweet foods. When they finished looking at the pictures, the participants were offered peanuts to eat. Those who looked at salty foods in the picture evaluations reported less enjoyment in eating the peanuts, even though they did not see any peanuts in the pictures. The article said the participants had already saturated their senses to the salty experience by the time they were eating the peanuts.
"If you want to enjoy your food consumption experience, avoid looking at too many pictures of food," Larson said. "Even I felt a little sick to my stomach during the study after looking at all the sweet pictures we had."
Larson also suggested that someone could use these findings to their advantage. He suggested that people who have a weakness for a certain food could look at numerous pictures of that food to decrease their cravings for it.
But the loss in appetite by looking at food images does not happen by a casual approach.
"You do have to look at a decent number of pictures to get these effects," Elder said in the article. "It's not like if you look at something two or three times you'll get that satiated effect."

MP Assembly adjourns briefly following uproar
Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh Assembly was Wednesday briefly adjourned after the ruling BJP and Opposition Congress indulged in slogan shouting on the issue of mafia allegedly collecting money to unseat the Chief Minister.
As soon as the House met for the day, Kalpana Parulekar (Congress) demanded a discussion on the adjournment motion on Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan`s recent statement that mafia was collecting money to get him removed from the post.
Deputy Leader of the Opposition Choudhary Rakesh Singh Chaturvedi said Speaker Ishwar Das Rohani had yesterday said that a discussion would be allowed on the Chief Minister`s statement.
To this, Rohani said he had not specified any subject as an adjournment motion moved by Arif Aqueel (Congress) was also under his consideration.
The Speaker also expressed his displeasure over the behaviour of Aqueel and Parulekar.
He asked the Chief Minister to make his statement.
Even as Chouhan began to speak, Industries Minister Kailash Vijayawargiya made a remark which angered Congress members who trooped into the well, raising slogans. They were joined by the BJP members.
As the uproar continued despite repeated pleas by the Speaker, the House was adjourned for 10 minutes.
When the House reassembled, the matter was resolved after the Chief Minister urged the Speaker to accept the adjournment motion.

Title: Should Ipomea alba be planted in a yard in Spring, TX?
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:I would like to know if there is any reason not to plant Tropical Morning glory (Moon Flower-Ipomoea alba)in my yard. Is it toxic or aggressivley invasive? I am looking at a space in my side yard with a western exposure. It will have medium shade and plenty of water. What about on a tree rather than a fence? Thanks,
Moon Flower Ipomoea alba (Tropical white morning glory) is a fast-growing, vigorous, twining vine that is a member of the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae). It isn't considered invasive, but two other members of the family that are considered invasive are Bind Weed and Swamp Morning Glory.
The Moon Flower blooms at night which adds a mystic touch to the plant, and this Floridata link suggests that it might be called the evening glory. (images)
Several members of the family are said to have seeds containing toxins/hallucinogens , but Ipomea tricolor is the only species that I could find on a poisonous plants list.
The plant can grow in full to partial sun, and can grow along a fence or on a trellis. I would not have it grow on a tree because its dense growth can shade the tree leaves and and interfere with growth. Besides, the beautiful flowers would be up in the tree instead of closer to the ground where they can be enjoyed.
So I think there's no compelling reason not to plant the Moon Flower, and I would grow it on an arbor or trellis beside the deck where one could sit in the evening and take in the fragrance of the gorgeous blooms.

Iran aims to arrange country's official fashion show
06 March 2013 [09:27] -
If given permit,official fashion show could be held in Iran, deputy minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Hamidreza Shahabadi said, Mehr reported.
Shahabadi made the remarks on the sidelines of the opening of the International Festival of Fashion and Costume Festival.
"The ministry itself is not against hosting such a show," he said. "However an official permit should be issued in order to host the event."
He noted that if the show will eventually be hosted, there will be two of them, separate for men and women.
Shahabadi said the idea for the show is to present the "Iranian life" as a show, showcasing models wearing casual clothes that are worn by people every day in Iran.
In 2007 government of Iran gave approval for "Muslim-style" fashion shows, and since then, growing numbers of young Iranian women have been lining up to take a "modest stroll" on the catwalk.

Kiss Land
by The Weeknd
- Record Label: Republic / XO
- Release Date: Sep 10, 2013
- Summary: After a trilogy of mixtapes, the Canadian artist releases his debut studio release that includes a guest appearance from Drake.
- Record Label: Republic / XO
- Genre(s): R&B
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 17 out of 31
Mixed: 14 out of 31
Negative: 0 out of 31
Sep 6, 2013Sonically, his oeuvre has bridged the divide between barren and lush. Lyrically, he has perfected the motif of narcotized horror.... This is the real deal.
Sep 6, 2013He isolates himself inside long, slow-tempo songs that edge from seductive into oppressive--and, with their reverberating guitar chords and crisp, dominating drum sounds, will feel oddly familiar to anyone who's enjoyed a 1980s ballad by Genesis.
MojoSep 19, 2013The 23-year-old Ethiopian-Canadian's sonic evolution continues on Kiss Land. [Oct 2013, p.88]
Sep 6, 2013Kiss Land plays like a more considered, better-mastered continuation of Echoes of Silence, not anything dramatically different.
Sep 12, 2013This album is a polished, lateral step with an accompanying barcode for Weeknd's fans. And outsiders looking to understand his appeal are likely better off downloading the three mixtapes that preceded the album.
Oct 9, 2013He still has an ear for production and his voice remains a pliable tool, but to keep himself tethered to an aesthetic he defined and completed within a year is to do himself and the listener a disservice.
Sep 9, 2013The problem with Kiss Land is that it fails on both fronts, presenting a musically static album that's also disturbingly backward on gender issues, with a sustained focus on degradation that no longer seems anything but vile.

Sep 10, 2013It seems like critics really want to put out reviews as fast as they can, it's like a rally. Let it grow on you, take you're time it's justIt seems like critics really want to put out reviews as fast as they can, it's like a rally. Let it grow on you, take you're time it's just been a day since it offically have released. A record you really need to sit down with to really appreciate as a whole. Small details here and there in the production did alot for my listening experience too, not big just some tiny instruments. Sonically it's rich and cinematic, I mean it all ends with track 10 "Tears In The Rain" (a one of the many references to the 80's movie Blade Runner) so you kinda get where he's trying to get with his sound for his big major label debut album.
Like Janelle Monáe's new release, both are heavily influenced by SCI FI, the SCI FI heads of R&B. Monáe with Metropolis, The Weeknd with Blade Runner. And like his Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford influences it all begins with "Professional" a dreamy, catchy and heart broken set, both sonically and lyrically, the vocals are well executed and a great first play into the album. Quietly from the first piece of the album we're in this atmospheric world created and signed by Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd), it all stays in the lane of the first track until the boombastic and synth heavy pop song "Belong To The World". A good song with some clever lines, tough it's a preference of what you find as 'good' when he sings "I'm not a fool I just love that you're dead inside I'm not a fool I'm just lifeless too". My opinion, it's one of the most original and strangest hooks I've heard in years, laughable or lovable, I personally like it.. a lot.
Right after the centerpiece we have the little hip hop anthem "Live For" with a feature from fellow Canadian, their very own, Drake. Well, let's put it like this, when it came to Drake on this record he really sounded to bring big, HUGE, inspirations from J. Cole's "N***as Know" that was included earlier this year on his sophmore "Born Sinner". Similiar rhymes, lines.. and topic at certain points, and even flow wise. But hey, the verse was not bad, just a bit suspicious about it that's all. Sounded like a re write of Cole's with just some lines off the board, not a better verse though either. The track was quite fitting to what it all built up too and it's a more up tempo track than most of it. Overall it's a fun song.
Wanderlust, a song which could have made it to a Michael Jackson singel in the 80's, a great track and one of the best songs on the album, loving it. The fun parts are over, now with the titel track "Kiss Land" and tracks there after it's all pain, depression, misogyny, he's voice starts cracking up. I guess, John Carpenter and those great horror directors did this kid a favor, cause at the end, The Weeknd has released a excellent debut album. Don't miss out my favorite one of the album, "Adaptation", it reminded me of "The Prince of Egypt" while track #2 "The Town" had some vibes of the 90's cartoon/animé televsion "Sailor Moon".
Probably gonna get mixed opinions from both critics and listeners in this day in age where living in now, give it some time and I think it's gonna lead a new wave of artist's with it's sound and topics. See "Kiss Land" as one of Marvin Gaye's most influential records "Here My Dear" which didn't get the same acclaim as his previous releases, but look at what it did to quiet storm and contemporary R&B as a genre, The Weeknd can be doing the same thing for PBR&B or whatever we gonna call this.
Literally have been playing it from start to end about 20 times, more or less, and I've gotta say, "Kiss Land" is The Weeknd's most ambitious and interesting work yet. The top album of it's genre with Monáe and James Blake for sure, they will definitely be fighting for my album of the year.… Collapse

Its so good that I felt guilty not purchasing it so I went out and bought the album despite having every song. So consistent very rare you find a CD where every single track is great.

Apr 16, 2014This album is a bit of a letdown from Tesfaye's previous work. The versatility of the sound has been sacrificed for pop sensibility, and whatThis album is a bit of a letdown from Tesfaye's previous work. The versatility of the sound has been sacrificed for pop sensibility, and what was a strong lyrical voice has now fallen to trite cliches and unfortunate metaphors. In addition to the failure that is Tesfaye's lyrics, the production is a step backwards as well, with songs like "Pretty" and "Tears in the Rain" wandering aimlessly against a static atmospheric backdrop. The beauty of Tesfaye's previous works was their ability to jostle about, even with somewhat static instrumentals, the beauty and poise of the vocals as well as the candid lyrics made the whole thing seem active. On "Kiss Land," Abel allows the instumentals to stagnate. The only points on "Kiss Land" where Abel & Co. create moments vaguely resembling anything from "Trilogy" are on the first few tracks (Professional, The Town) and the title track ("Kiss Land"). Those tracks take a more aggressive and industrial direction, to wonderful results. But it's these moments that cause the album to be such a disappointment: we know Abel is capable of deliciously seductive slow jams and frightening electronic odysseys. But it feels like the majority of the tracks here are filler between the more fleshed out and more audacious tracks.… Expand

The promise of the internet of things is enormous, with sensors and devices generating reams of data and offering glimpses of untapped opportunities. Yet many organizations are struggling to find actionable use cases. Some are responding by limiting IoT to finite implementations that solve real-world needs and produce quantifiable results.
Organizations are developing strategies for reimagining their core systems that involve re-platforming, modernizing, and revitalizing. Transforming the bedrock of the IT footprint to be intuitive and responsive can help meet business needs today while also laying the foundation for future agility and growth.
Migrating large portfolios of enterprise applications to the cloud can be a perilous but ultimately very rewarding journey. At every stage—from making the business case, to designing the future state, to executing the planned migration—organizations are likely to encounter obstacles that can interfere with progress. Fortunately, enough is known about how to successfully migrate to cloud to anticipate and avoid them.
In his new book "Delivering on Digital," William Eggers, a public sector research director at Deloitte Services LP, discusses the biggest challenges government agencies face as they pursue digital transformation, the cost savings a fully digital government can generate, and the hurdles government faces in hiring top tech talent.
By the end of 2016, one in four smartphone owners in developed markets will not place a single traditional voice call in a given week, according to Deloitte Global researchers. Instead, smartphone users are communicating via social networking, text messaging, and a range of apps.
Ongoing economic, political, and technological upheaval in the U.S. and worldwide hasn't dampened business leaders' confidence in their organizations' competitiveness, according to the results of a survey of CXOs and their direct reports. But respondents' challenges in promoting innovation, assimilating new technologies, and tackling talent gaps could undermine their optimism if left unaddressed.
Travel, hospitality, and leisure companies are increasingly appealing to busy, tech-savvy patrons by implementing digital tools and analytics programs to support frictionless interactions and enable personalized recommendations, among other initiatives intended to enhance customer experiences.
Federal CIOs offer perspectives and advice on how to comply with requirements laid out in the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act.
Within the federal government, virtually every agency is grappling with issues related to IT modernization. Beth McGrath, a director with Deloitte Consulting LLP and former Department of Defense (DOD) deputy chief management officer, and Chris O'Connell, vice president of Appian's federal division, share their thoughts on trends in federal IT modernization and offer specific advice to federal IT leaders.
Lowering costs while facilitating business growth has long been the CIO's mandate. Until recently, a CIO's options for achieving these goals have been limited to high-cost, high-risk technology modernization or implementation efforts. Robotic process automation offers a compelling alternative.

Qualcomm announces quad-core Snapdragon S4 chipsets for mass market smartphones
Qualcomm today announced two Snapdragon S4 chipsets with quad-core processors that will also be available under its 'Qualcomm Reference Design' (QRD) solution to OEMs. The chipsets –
Qualcomm today announced two Snapdragon S4 chipsets with quad-core processors that will also be available under its 'Qualcomm Reference Design' (QRD) solution to OEMs. The chipsets – MSM 8226 and MSM 8626 – feature an Adreno 305 GPU, 1080p video capture and playback, and support of up to 13-megapixel cameras. The chipsets are fabricated using the 28nm process and Qualcomm claims it provides 40 percent lower power consumption than the previous generation.
Qualcomm's QRD program is loosely modeled around MediaTek's reference design program that initially enabled low-cost feature phones and led to the rise of homegrown brands like Spice Mobile, Micromax, Karbonn and Lava among others.
At last week's Global Editors Meet at its global headquarters in San Diego, Qualcomm revealed it was working with over 100 OEMs in China with QRD and there are already over 100 products based on QRD in the market with many more in the pipeline.
The company has already announced a tablet in India, the Karbonn Agnee, which is based on QRD but Qualcomm's main focus will be on low-cost smartphones going forward.
Qualcomm's focus for India is on low-cost smartphones with dual-core and quad-core processors and higher battery performance via its QRD program, Steve Mollenkoph, President and COO, Qualcomm told BGR India at the event.
The latest Snapdragon S4 chipsets will be available for sampling in the second quarter of 2013. Considering OEMs have been able to ship products using QRD as soon as 60 days after sampling, we can expect smartphones based on the new chipsets to be available as soon as the third quarter of next year.
Disclosure: Qualcomm paid for our travel and accommodation to attend the Global Editors Meet at its headquarters in San Diego.

Hi all,
We were planning on hiring a taxi for our day in Malta (during our cruise stop) to take us from the port to Hagar Qim, followed by Mdina (where we would have lunch) and then on to Valletta, where we would be dropped off for the last few hours before we headed back to the boat. Since we're traveling with our toddler, I am getting increasingly concerned about trying to hire a taxi when we get off the ship. I don't want to have to worry about the availability, etc. and thought I'd look into the cost of getting a private driver for the half day instead. Please keep in mind that since we're traveling with our toddler, we're not planning on doing any in depth touring. Rather, we just want to get a taste of those three places. The tour company in Malta that I contacted suggested this itinerary for a four hour tour (145 euros- not sure how much a cab would be but this includes an English speaking driver) and I was hoping to get your feedback. The company says that it is a waste of the 4 hours to stop for lunch and instead proposes that we wait until we get dropped off in Valletta for a lunch break (obviously we'd be bringing ample snacks for our daughter!). They also suggest adding on Marksaxlokk for a brief stop. This is what they have proposed. Not sure if it is crazy or okay since we only are planning on getting a "taste" of the places anyway... Thanks for any advice/feedback!
0900hrs depart from ship/port
0930hrs - 0950hrs visit Marsaxlokk
1010hrs - 1040hrs drive through south and stop for Blue Grotto photo
1045hrs - 1115hrs visit Hagar Qim Temples
1140hrs - 1240hrs visit Mdina Medeival city
1300hrs drop off at Barraka Gardens in Valletta

Does this itinerary sound okay for a private tour in Malta?
Hi all,
Report Abuse
I'll only respond to the blue grotto statement as I've already given my opinions on your other thread.
"Stop for Blue Grotto photo" - don't you have to get into a boat to go to the blue grotto? I was in that area and there was no grotto to see from the land. Other grottos (Capri, Gozo) involve getting into small boats and riding the waves into a "grotto." I certainly wouldn't do this with a toddler.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the reply adrienne- I believe this is a different question than my previous Malta post, as I now have specific time frames laid out for every "stop" and I am hoping to get feedback on whether the time frames seem okay, too rushed for even our purposes, or whether we should add to one and cut from another, etc. Re: the "stop for Blue Grotto photo," after reading other posts on Malta there seems to be a point very close to Hagar Qim with a scenic lookout onto the Blue Grotto that some people suggest stopping at as long as we are going to be there anyway. So definitely no getting into a small boat with our daughter
Report Abuse
Times look good. If you want to linger a bit longer in Marsaxlokk you can deduct the time from M'dina - it's not called the "silent city" for nothing. Not much happening there.
I would be dropped off at the Valletta gate rather than the gardens since you will be in need of refreshment by 1:00. You can always walk to the gardens after you get some lunch.
On another topic - did your grandparents do their cruise yet? If not, I would recommend staying in Taormina rather than going to Mt. Etna. I just returned from there and was rather underwhelmed by Etna.
Report Abuse
Thanks again, adrienne. Great advice about deducting time in Mdina if we are enjoying Marsaxlokk and also getting dropped off at the gate. I am going to book the tour tomorrow.
My grandparents actually left for their cruise yesterday and based on the responses that I got from that post I suggested that they stay in Taormina and skip Mt. Etna, which is what they are going to do. Glad that you confirmed Mt. Etna would not be a good choice for them!

5 stars out of 5 -- "Mackendrick slyly skewers every political stance along the spectrum from Left to Right."
Product Description:
Based on the play by Roger MacDougall, Alexander Mackendrick's second film (which he cowrote) is a winning comedy about the battles between labor, capitalists, and scientific dreamers. Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness) works quietly at Michael Corland's (Michael Gough) textile mill until his mysterious, costly lab experiment is discovered. Fired by Corland, Stratton takes a menial job at Alan Birnley's (Cecil Parker) mill in order to continue his work on the sly. When Daphne (Joan Greenwood), Corland's fiancée and Birnley's daughter, discovers his secret, she threatens to expose Stratton. The desperate scientist reveals to Daphne that he has invented an indestructible cloth that never gets dirty. Close to realizing his vision, Stratton celebrates by having a white suit made of the fabric (because it repels dye). The trouble, however, is just beginning. The lowly mill workers (who spout market economics in rough accents) fear for their jobs while the mill owners, led by the decrepit Godfather-esque Sir John Kierlaw (Ernest Thesiger), worry about their profits. In a series of entertaining chase scenes and attempted double crosses, the impish yet determined Stratton (sporting his luminous suit) struggles to defend his hard-won discovery from the mob.
Plot Synopsis:
THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT is a top British comedy about a scientist in a textile mill who invents a fabric that won't stain, tear, or wear out, causing an industry-wide panic.
Plot Keywords:
Big Business | British | Essential Cinema | Recommended | Satire | Theatrical Release | Vintage

The duo: AsDSSka is Aska Matsumiya of the Sads and Moonrats, and Sir David Scott Stone, whose thick and rich modular synthesizer sounds have more depth than any state-of-the-art digital sampler.
The record label: Family Bookstore Records, the new musical concern of the great Fairfax bookstore, whose little selection of experimental and punk music is a concentrated encapsulation of LA (at least one strain of it).
The video: Directed by Spike Jonze and Crystal Moselle , it's an austere and relatively straightforward little film starring a half-deflated mylar balloon, a ceiling fan, a grand piano and an analog synth, and backed by the song "25," which features a beautiful little Satie-esque melody that goes kind of crazy in the middle.
The single: Haven't seen it firsthand, but it looks pretty cool. The artwork is by designer Elke Kramer, and the sleeve design is by Brian Roettinger, best known for his Grammy-nominated work for No Age.

Now if AsDSSka would reconsider their name. We've written it about a half dozen times now and still can't type it without getting frustrated.
