If you have ever felt a sense of excitement and mystery going
inside an old building--whether occupied or vacant--it is probably
because its materials and features resonate with the spirit of past
people and events. Yet excitement about the unknown is heightened
when a historic structure is examined architecturally, and its
evolution over time emerges with increasing clarity to reveal the
lives of its occupants. Architectural investigation is the
critical first step in planning an appropriate treatment--understanding
how a building has changed over time and assessing levels of deterioration.
Whether as a home owner making sympathetic repairs, a craftsman or
contractor replacing damaged or missing features, or a conservator
reconstituting wood or restoring decorative finishes, some type of
investigative skill was used to recognize and solve an
architectural question or explain a difficult aspect of the work
To date, very little has been written for the layman on the subject
of architectural investigation. This Preservation Brief thus
addresses the often complex investigative process in broad,
easy-to-understand terminology. The logical sequence of planning,
investigation and analysis presented in this Brief is applicable to
all buildings, geographic locations, periods, and construction
types. It is neither a "how to" nor an exhaustive study on
techniques or methodologies; rather, it serves to underscore the
need for meticulous planning prior to work on our irreplaceable
cultural resources.
Both the purpose and scope of investigation need to be determined
before formulating a particular approach. For example,
investigation strictly for research purposes could produce
information for an architectural survey or for an historic
designation application at the local, state or national level.
Within the framework of The secretary of the Interior's Standards
for the Treatment of Historic Properties, investigation is crucial
for "identifying, retaining, and preserving the form and detailing
of those architectural materials and features that are important in
defining the historic character" of a property, whether for repair
or replacement. A rehabilitation project, for instance, might
require an investigation to determine the historic configuration of
interior spaces prior to partitioning a room to meet a compatible
new use. Investigation for preservation work can entail more
detailed information about an entire building, such as determining
the physical sequence of construction to aid in interpretation.
Investigation for a restoration project must be even more
comprehensive in order to re-capture the exact form, features,
finishes, and detailing of every component of the building.
Whether investigation will be undertaken by professionals--architects,
conservators, historians--or by interested homeowners,
the process is essentially comprised of a preliminary four-step
procedure: historical research, documentation, inventory, and
Primary historical research of an old building generally
encompasses written, visual and oral resources that can provide
valuable site-specific information. Written resources usually
include letters, legal transactions, account books, insurance
policies, institutional papers, and diaries. Visual resources
consist of drawings, maps, plats, paintings and photographs. Oral
resources are people's remembrances of the past. Secondary
resources, comprised of research or history already compiled and
written about a subject, are also important for providing a broad
contextual setting for a project.
Historical research should be conducted well in advance of physical
investigation. This allows time for important written, visual, and
oral information to be located, transcribed, organized, studied and
used for planning the actual work.
A thorough scholarly study of a building's history provides a
responsible framework for the physical investigation; in fact, the
importance of the link between written historical research and
structural investigation cannot be overestimated. For example, the
historical research of a building through deed records may merely
determine the sequence of owners. This, in turn, aids the
investigation of the building by establishing a chronology and
identifying the changes each occupant made to the building. A
letter may indicate that an occupant painted the building in a
certain year; the courthouse files contain the occupant's name and
paint analysis of the building will yield the actual color. Two-
dimensional documentary research and three-dimensional physical
investigation go hand-in-hand in analyzing historic structures.
The quality and success of any restoration project is founded upon
the initial research.
A building should be documented prior to any inventory,
stabilization or investigative work in order to record crucial
material evidence. A simple, comprehensive method is to take 35 mm
photographs of every wall elevation (interior and exterior), as
well as general views, and typical and unusual details. The
systematic numbering of rooms, windows and doors on the floor plan
will help organize this task and also be useful for labelling the
photographs. Video coverage with annotated sound may supplement
still photographs. Additional methods of documentation include
written descriptions, sketches, and measured drawings.
Significant structures, such as individually listed National
Register properties or National Historic Landmarks, benefit from
professional photographic documentation and accurate measured
drawings. Professional frequently use The Secretary of the
Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Architectural and
Engineering Documentation: HABS/HAER Standards. It should be
remembered that the documents created during investigation might
play an unforeseen role in future treatment and interpretation.
Documentation is particularly valuable when a feature will be
removed or altered.
The historic building and its components should be carefully
inventoried prior to taking any action; premature clean-up of a
structure or site can be a mistake. A careful look at all spaces
in and around a building may reveal loose architectural artifacts,
fragile evidence or clues to historic landscape features. This
thorough observation includes materials and features which have
fallen off due to deterioration, fragments removed and stored in
basements, attics or outbuildings, and even materials which have
seemingly been discarded.
In the beginning, anything that seems even remotely meaningful
should be saved. A common mistake is to presume to know the value
of artifacts or features at the beginning of a project. Even if
the period of significance or interpretation is known from the
beginning, evidence from all periods should be protected.
Documentation for future study or use includes labelling and, if
possible, photographing prior to storage in a secure place.
In many cases, emergency stabilization is necessary to ensure that
a structure does not continue to deteriorate prior to a final
treatment or to ensure the safety of current occupants,
investigators, or visitors. Although severe cases might call for
structural remedies, in more common situations, preliminary
stabilization would be undertaken on a maintenance level. Such
work could involve installing a temporary roof covering to keep
water out; diverting water away from foundation walls; removing
plants that hold water too close to the walls; or securing a
structure against intruding insects, animals and vandals.
An old building may require temporary remedial work on exterior
surfaces such as reversible caulking or an impermanent,
distinguishable mortar. Or if paint analysis is contemplated in
the future, deteriorated paint can be protected without heavy
scraping by applying a recognizable "memory" layer over all the
historic layers. Stabilization adds to the cost of any project,
but human safety and the protection of historical evidence are well
worth the extra money.
The essential skill needed for any level of investigation is the
ability to observe closely and to analyze. These qualities are
ideally combined with a hands-on familiarity of historic buildings
-- and an open mind! Next, whether acquired in a university or in
a practical setting, an investigator should have a good general
knowledge of history, building design history and, most important,
understand both construction and finish technologies.
But it is not enough to know architectural style and building
technology from a national viewpoint; the investigator needs to
understand regional and local differences as well. While
investigative skills are transferable between regions and
chronological periods, investigators must be familiar with the
peculiarities of any given building type and geographical area.
Architectural survey and comparative fieldwork provides a crucial
database for studying regional variations in historic buildings.
For example, construction practices can reflect shared experiences
of widely diverse backgrounds and traditions within a small
geographical area. Contemporary construction practice in an urban
area might vary dramatically from that of rural areas in the same
region. Neighbors or builders within the same geographical area
often practice different techniques of constructing similar types
of structures contemporaneously. Reliable dating clues for a
certain brick bond used in one state might be unreliable for the
same period in a different state. Regional variation holds true
for building materials as well as construction.
Finally, even beyond regional and local variation, an investigator
needs to understand that each building has its own unique history
of construction and change over time. Form, features, materials
and detailing often varied according to the tastes and finances of
both builder and supplier; construction quality and design were
also inconsistent, as they are today.
Because architectural investigation requires a wide range of
knowledge and many different skills various people are likely to
interact on the same project. While homeowners frequently execute
small-scale projects, more complex projects might be directed by a
craftsperson, an architect or a conservator. For large-scale
projects, a team approach may need to be adopted, consisting of
professionals, architectural conservators, craftspersons, historic
finish analysts, historians, archeologists, architects, curators,
and many others. The scope and needs of a specific project dictate
the skills of key players.
Architectural investigation often includes the related fields of
landscape and archeological investigation. Landscape survey or
analysis by horticulturists and landscape architects identify pre-existing
features or plantings or those designed as separate or
complementary parts of the site. Both above and below-ground
archeology contribute information about missing or altered
buildings, construction techniques, evidence of lifestyle and
material culture, and about the evolution of the historic landscape
Although brick or wood frame buildings are the most common in this
country, similar sets of characteristics and questions can be
established for examining log, adobe, steel, or any other material.
Studying historic brickwork can provide important information about
methods of production and construction. For example, the color,
size, shape and texture of brick reveals whether it was hand molded
and traditionally fired in a clamp with hardwoods, or whether it
was machine molded and fired in a kiln using modern fuels.
Similarly, the principal component part of masonry mortar, the lime
or cement, reveals whether it was produced in a traditional or
modern manner. Certain questions need to be asked during
investigation. Is the mortar made with a natural or a Portland
cement? If a natural cement, did it come from an oyster shell or
a limestone source? Is it hydrated or hydraulic? As a
construction unit, brick and mortar further reveal something about
the time, place and human variables of construction, such as the
type of bond, special brick shapes, decorative uses of glazed or
rubbed brick, coatings and finishes, and different joints, striking
and tooling. Does the bond conform with neighboring or regional
buildings of the same period? Does the pattern of "make up" bricks
in a Flemish Bond indicate the number of different bricklayers?
What is the method of attaching wood trim to the masonry? The same
types of Questions related to production and construction
characteristics can be applied to all types of masonry work,
including stone, concrete, terra cotta, adobe and coquina
construction. A complete survey undertaken during "surface
mapping" can outline the materials and construction practices for
the various periods of a structure, distinguishing the original
work as well as the additions, alterations, and replacements.
Buildings constructed with wood have a very different set of
characteristics, requiring a different line of questioning. Is the
wooden structural system log, timber frame, or balloon frame
construction? Evidence seen on the wood surface indicates whether
production was by ax, adze, pit saw, mill saw (sash or circular),
or band saw. What are the varying dimensions of the lumber used?
Finished parts can be sawn, gouged, carved, or planed (by hand or
by machine). Were they fastened by notching, mortise and tenon,
pegs, or nailing? If nails were used, were they wrought by hand,
machine cut with wrought heads, entirely machine cut, or machine
wire nails? For much of the nineteenth century the manufacture of
nails underwent a series of changes and improvements that are
dateable, allowing nails to be used as a tool in establishing
periods of construction and alteration. Regardless of region or
era, the method of framing, joining and finishing a wooden
structure will divulge something about the original construction,
its alterations, and the practices of its builders. Finally, does
some of the wood appear to be reused or recycled? Reused and
reproduction materials used in early restoration projects have
confused many investigators. When no identification record was
kept, it can be a problem distinguishing between materials original
to the house and later replacement materials.
Exterior features are especially prone to alteration due to
weathering and lack of maintenance. Even in the best preserved
structures, the exterior often consists of replaced or repaired
roofing parts. Roof coverings typically last no more than fifty
years. Are several generation of roof coverings still in place?
Can the layers be identified? If earlier coverings were removed,
the sheathing boards frequently provide clues to the type of
covering as well as missing roof features. Dormers, cupolas,
finials, cresting, weathervanes, gutters, lightning rods,
skylights, balustrades, parapets and platforms come and go as
taste, function and maintenance dictate. The roof pitch itself can
be a clue to stylistic dating and is unlikely to change unless the
entire roof has been rebuilt. Chimneys might hold clues to
original roof pitch, flashings, and roof feature attachments. Is
it possible to look down a chimney and count the number of flues?
This practice has occasionally turned up a missing fireplace. In
many parts of the country, nineteenth-century roof coverings
evolved from wooden shingles or slate shingles, to metal shingles,
to sheet metal, and still later in the twentieth century, to
asphaltic or asbestos shingles. Clay tiles can be found covering
roofs in seventeenth and eighteenth-century settlements of the east
coast as well as western and southwestern Spanish settlements from
the same period. Beyond the mid-nineteenth century, and into the
twentieth, the range and choice of roof coverings greatly expanded.
In addition to production and construction clues, floors reveal
other information about the interior, such as circulation patterns,
furniture placement, the use of carpets, floor cloths, and applied
floor finishes. Is there a pattern of tack holes? Tacks or tack
holes often indicate the position and even the type of a floor
covering. A thorough understanding of the seasonal uses of floor
coverings and the technological history of their manufacture
provide the background for identifying this type of evidence.
Walls and their associated trim, both outside and inside, hold many
clues to the building's construction and changes made over time.
The overall style of moldings, trim and finishes, and their
hierarchical relationship, can help explain original construction
as well as room usage and social interaction between rooms. Holes,
scars, patches, nails, nail holes, screws and other hardware
indicate former attachments. Are there "ghosts," or shadow
outlines of missing features, or trim attachments such as bases,
chair rails, door and window casings, entablatures, cornices,
mantels and shelves? Ghosts can be formed by paint, plaster,
stucco, wear, weathering or dirt. Interior walls from the
eighteenth and early nineteenth-century were traditionally
plastered after grounds or finished trim was in place, leaving an
absence of plaster on the wall behind them. Evidence of
attachments on window casings can also be helpful in understanding
certain interior changes. Other clues to look for include the
installation of reused material brought into a house or moved about
within a house; worker's or occupant's graffiti, especially on the
back of trim; and hidden finishes or wallpaper stuck in crevices or
underneath pieces of trim. Stylistic upgrading often resulted in
the reuse of outdated trim for blocking or shims. Unexpected
discoveries are particularly rewarding. Investigators frequently
tell stories about clues that were uncovered from architectural
fragments carried off by rats and later found, or left by workers
in attics, between walls and under floors.
Attics and basements have been known as collection points for
out-of-date, out-of-style and cast-off pieces such as mechanical
systems, furnishings, family records and architectural fragments.
These and other out-of-the-way places of a structure provide an
excellent opportunity for non-destructive investigation. Not only
are these areas where structural and framing members might be
exposed to view, they are also areas which may have escaped the
frequent alteration campaigns that occur in the more lived-in parts
of a building. If a building has been raised or lowered in height,
evidence of change would be found in the attic as well as on the
exterior. Evidence of additions might also be detected in both the
attic and basement. Attics frequently provide a "top-side" view at
the ceiling below, revealing its material, manner of production and
method of attachment. A "bottom-side" view of the roof sheathing
or roof covering can be seen from the attic as well.
Basements generally relate more to human service functions in
earlier buildings and to mechanical services in more recent areas.
For example, A cellar of an urban 1812 house disclosed the
following information during an investigation: first period bell
system, identification of a servant's hall, hidden fireplace,
displacement of the service stairs, identification of a servants'
quarters, an 1850s furnace system, 1850s gas and plumbing systems,
relocation of the kitchen in 1870, early use of 1890s concrete
floor slabs and finally, twentieth century utility systems. While
the earliest era had been established as the interpretation period,
evidence from all periods was documented in order to understand and
interpret how the house evolved or changed over time.
Systems of utility and convenience bear close scrutiny during
investigation. All historic buildings inhabited and used by people
reveal some association, at the very minimum, with the necessities
of lighting, climate control, water, food preparation, and waste
removal. Later installations in a building may include
communication, hygiene, food storage, security, and lightning
protection systems. Other systems, such as transportation, are
related to more specific functions of commercial or public
structures. Although research into the social uses of rooms and
their furnishings has borne many new studies, parallel research
into how people actually carried out the most mundane tasks of
everyday life has been fairly neglected. Utility and convenience
systems are most prone to alteration and upgrading and, at the same
time, less apt to be preserved, documented or re-used.
Understanding the history or use of a building, and the history of
systems technology can help predict the physical evidence that
might be found, and what it will look like after it is found.
Research prior to investigation may have indicated the architect,
builder or a building's date of construction. In the absence of
such information, architectural histories and field guides to
architectural style can help identify a structure's age through its
form and style.
Any preliminary date, however, has to be corroborated with other
physical or documentary facts. Dates given for stylistic periods
are general and tend to be somewhat arbitrary, with numerous local
variations. Overall form and style can also be misleading due to
subsequent additions and alterations. When the basic form seems in
conflict with the details, it may indicate a transition between
styles or that a style was simply upgraded through new work.
The architectural investigation usually determines original
construction details, the chronology of later alterations, and the
physical condition of a structure. Most structures over fifty
years old have been altered, even if only by natural forces.
People living in a house or using a building for any length of time
leave some physical record of their time there, however subtle. A
longer period of occupancy generally counts for greater physical
change. Buildings acquire a "historic character" as changes are
made over time.
Changes to architectural form over time are generally attributable
to material durability, improvement in convenience systems, and
aesthetics. First the durability of building materials is affected
by weathering, temperature and humidity, by disasters such as
storms, floods or fire, or by air pollution from automobiles and
industry. Second, changes in architectural form have always been
made for convenience sake -- fueled by technological innovations --
as people embrace better lighting, plumbing, heating, sanitation,
and communication. People alter living spaces to meet changing
family needs. Finally, people make changes to architectural form,
features, and detailing to conform to current taste and style.
Architectural investigation can range from a simple one hour
walk-through to a month long or even multi-year project -- and varies
from looking at surfaces to professional sub-surface examination
and laboratory work.
All projects should begin with the simplest, non-destructive
processes and proceed as necessary. The sequence of investigation
starts with reconnaissance and progresses to surface examination
and mapping, sub-surface non-destructive testing, and various
degrees of sub-surface destructive testing.
An initial reconnaissance trip through a structure -- or visual
overview -- provides the most limited type of investigation. But
experienced investigators accustomed to observation and analysis
can resolve many questions in a two-to-four hour preliminary site
visit. They may be able to determine the consistency of the
building's original form and details as well as major changes made
over time.
The first step in a thorough, systematic investigation is the
examination of all surfaces. Surface investigation is sometimes
called "surface mapping" since it entails a minute look at all the
exterior and interior surfaces. The fourfold purpose of surface
mapping is to observe every visible detail of design and
construction; develop questions related to evidence and possible
alterations; note structural or environmental problems; and help
develop plans for any further investigation. Following
investigation, a set of documentary drawings and photographs is
prepared which record or "map" the evidence.
While relying upon senses of sight and touch, the most useful tool
for examining surfaces is a high-powered, portable light used for
illuminating dark spaces as well as for enhancing surface
subtleties. Raking light at an angle on a flat surface is one of
the most effective means of seeing evidence of attachments, repairs
or alterations.
The next level of investigation consists of probing beneath
surfaces using non-destructive methods. Questions derived from the
surface mapping examination and analysis will help determine which
areas to probe. Investigators have perfected a number of tools and
techniques which provide minimal damage to historic fabric. These
include x-rays to penetrate surfaces in order to see nail types and
joining details; boroscopes, fiber optics and small auto mechanic
or dentists' mirrors to look inside of tight spaces; and ultra-violet or
infra-red lights to observe differences in materials and
finishes. The most advanced technology combines the boroscope with
video cameras using fiber optic illumination. In addition to the
more common use of infra-red photography, similar non-destructive
techniques used in archeological investigations include remote
sensing and ground-penetrating radar.
Small material samples of wood, plaster, mortar, or paint can also
be taken for laboratory analysis at this stage of investigation.
For instance, a surface examination of a plaster wall using a
raking light may show clear evidence of patching which corresponds
to a shelf design. Were the shelves original or a later addition?
A small sample of plaster from the patched area is analyzed in the
laboratory and matches plaster already dated to a third period of
construction. A probe further reveals an absence of first period
plaster on the wall underneath. The investigator might conclude
from this evidence that the shelves were an original feature and
that the plaster fill dates their removal and patching to a third
period of construction.
Most investigations require nothing more than historical research,
surface examination and non-destructive testing. In very rare
instances the investigation may require a sub-surface examination
and the removal of fabric. Destructive testing should be carried
out by a professional only after historical research and surface
mapping have been fully accomplished and only after non-destructive
testing has failed to produce the necessary information. Owners
should be aware that the work is a form of demolition in which the
physical record may be destroyed. Sub-surface examination begins
with the most accessible spaces, such as retrofitted service and
mechanical chases; loose or previously altered trim, ceilings or
floor boards; and pieces of trim or hardware which can be easily
removed and replaced.
Non-destructive testing techniques do not damage historic fabric.
If non-destructive techniques are not sufficient to resolve
important questions, small "windows" can be opened in surface
fabric at predetermined locations to see beneath the surface. This
type of subsurface testing and removal is sometimes called
"architectural archeology" because of its similarity to the more
well-known process of trenching in archeology. The analogy is apt
because both forms of archeology use a method of destructive
Photographs, video and drawings should record the before, during
and after evidence when the removal of historic fabric is
necessary. The selection and sequence of material to be removed
requires careful study so that original extant fabric remains in
situ if possible. If removed, original fabric should be carefully
put back or labelled and stored. At least one documentary patch of
each historic finish should be retained in situ for future
research. Treatment and interpretation, no matter how accurate,
are usually not final; treatment tends to by cyclical, like
history, and documentation must be left for future generations,
both on the wall and in the files.
Laboratory analysis plays a scientific role in the more intuitive
process of architectural investigation. One of the most commonly
known laboratory procedures used in architectural investigation is
that of historic paint analysis. The chronology and stratigraphy
of applied layers can establish appropriate colors, finishes,
designs or wall coverings. When conducted simultaneously with
architectural investigation, the stratigraphy of finishes, like
that of stratigraphic soils in archeology, helps determine the
sequence of construction or alterations in a building. Preliminary
findings from in situ examinations of painted finishes on walls or
trim are common, but more accurate results come from extensive
sampling and microscopic laboratory work using chemical analysis
and standardized color notations. Consultants without the proper
knowledge have been known to cause far more harm than good.
Mortar and plaster analysis often provide a basis for dating
construction with minimal intervention. Relatively small samples
of the lime-based materials can be chemically separated into their
component parts of sands and fines, which are then visually
compared to equivalent parts of known or dated samples. A more
thorough scientific approach may be used to accurately profile and
compare samples of other materials through elemental analysis. Two
similar methods in common use are Neutrol Activation and Energy
Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Neutron Activation identifies the
sample's trace elements by monitoring their response to neutron
bombardment. EDS measures the response to electron bombardment

Promises of higher wages and increased opportunity through a pricey education at a for-profit college are uttered more frequently on daytime television than the words "You are the father" escape Maury Povich's lips.
The sales pitches utilized by the for-profit college industry are veritable siren songs to the un- and underemployed, often desperate people languishing on their sofas while all those successful folks with briefcases and Italian leather shoes rush toward their futures. Such schools sell convenience — the opportunity to "go to school in your pajamas" (why this is such an attractive prospect, we'll never know), to take classes at your own pace and around your own schedule — and a willingness to overlook prior academic underachievement, all while ignoring a fact that far too many people are loath to accept: Not everyone is cut out for college.
The proprietary college industry is built, in large measure, upon the backs of people who aren't necessarily suited for school — a situation that appears integral to the business model. The U.S. Department of Justice recently filed suit against Education Management Corporation, the country's second-largest for-profit college company, in part because whistle-blowers alleged it was violating federal law by paying recruiters based on how many students they enrolled. EDMC operates several colleges in Georgia, including the Art Institutes in Atlanta and Decatur, Argosy University in Sandy Springs, Brown Mackie College in Buckhead, and South University in Savannah.
The New York Times has reported that EDMC recruiters were instructed to target people who were patently unqualified for a higher education, including people who were illiterate, appeared to be on drugs and those who wanted to take online classes but didn't even own a computer.
These are, of course, extreme examples of students who shouldn't bother with college. But then there's the other demographic: sober-minded, literate young people whose crappy high school grades and feeble standardized test scores prevent them from being accepted into traditional four-year colleges and universities. Even for these well-intentioned folks, we repeat: Not everyone is cut out for college.
Instead of earning an all-but-worthless degree in psychology, liberal arts or business administration from whichever for-profit institution has the best pitch, many young people would be better served learning a trade. You know: making things, fixing things. Skilled and expert labor is always in demand and there are ways to learn on the job while making money — union apprenticeships for aspiring electricians, plumbers and carpenters come to mind — rather than using school simply to put off the inevitable (i.e., full-time, real-world work) while descending deep into debt.
One thing those commercials never mention is that for-profit colleges are insanely expensive. Rather than a bona fide college education, students are simply paying for their degree. They often do so using federal loans they can't pay back. The Times reports that even though for-profit schools account for only 10 percent of higher education enrollment, their students are responsible for about half of all student loan defaults. Which means for-profit colleges aren't just bad for the people suckered into attending, they're bad for everyone.

The best deal you could ask forFor all those people who are confused about the varying prices of the Nexus 7. Flipkart is not selling it at any extra cost.

Regret buying this TabI have brought the nexus tab and in 3 months time the build-in speaker stopped working. I called up, Google, Flipkart and Asus and talked about this. Asus people gave me some service number contacts and I approached a few of them and found that they have never heard of Google Nexus. Now making a series of calls to get the information of the person who can actually service this.

Bang for your Buck!It's never easy to reach a conclusion when buying budget tablets because there are lots of products with too close to call prices, same happened with me; I researched a lot before buying one for myself and finally settled on Nexus 7C which is by far the most successful tablet of 2012&2013. When I first opened the package (I must say Flipkart is very good at packaging and Shipping in time), it was a neatly packed beautiful monster having a nice 7 inch screen and very interesting texture on the back and above all - Stock android from Google(without all the bloatware and malware from other manufa… (Expand)

Should you need to wait for the Nexus 7 II ?Nexus 7 II is in the verge of launching in India this November. As we all know, it won many acclaims as its predecessor Nexus 7 2012. But the question now is, Do we need all those performance?. Next and the main thing is the pricing.

Best 7" tablet right now in IndiaVery good display, buttery smooth OS, perfect for reading, gaming on the go with 3G support. Best budget tablet in the market and Flipkart is offering the 3G model only for 17K. In Amazon.in the price is above Rs.21,000. So, don't wait until the stock goes out of stock.

Zijin Says Open-Pit Ban Adds Uncertainties to Project
Zijin Mining Group Co., buying Indophil Resources NL, said a ban on open-pit mining by a local government in the Philippines adds "uncertainties" to the Tampakan project owned by the Australian company and Xstrata Plc.
Zijin, China's largest gold producer, in December agreed to buy Australia's Indophil Resources to gain a stake in Southeast Asia's largest untapped copper and gold deposit in the Philippines. The bid is awaiting Chinese regulatory approval.
"Since we are still awaiting approval for the bid, we can't say what we will do," Zhao Jugang, head of the board secretary office at Zijin, said by phone. "Certainly the ban would add uncertainties to the project."
A unit of Xstrata, the majority owner of the deposit, said yesterday it will consider "available options" after the South Cotobato province's legislative council approved the ban. Open-pit mining is the safest and only economic method for mining the deposit, the unit said.
Xstrata is "very concerned" by the proposed ban, spokeswoman Claire Divver said in an e-mailed response to questions today. "For the moment we are continuing to progress our community engagement activities and specialist studies for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) which we expect to finalise by the end of the year. We'll also continue to engage with all of the project's stakeholders."
The nation's Mines and Geosciences Bureau plans to ask the officials at the province to reconsider, Edwin Domingo, a director at the bureau, said today by phone.
"We would still like to talk with officials of the province and convince them that their fears and concerns have been adequately addressed by the company," said Domingo. A legal challenge may be the last resort though it's too early to make such a decision, he said.
The province's legislative council will send the resolution for approval to the governor.
Zijin, China's largest gold producer, fell 0.2 percent to close at HK$5.62 in Hong Kong trading. Xstrata rose 1 percent to 1,013 pence at 11:18 a.m. in London trading.

Re-learning to knit...help
I taught myself to knit a few years ago and recently discovered I have been knitting the wrong way all these years! :noway:
So now I am extra paranoid that the few things I have knitted in the past will fall apart in the washing machine! :oo:
To try to keep it short, lets just that when I knitted, my stitches were not twisted like they are suppose to be.( I was knitting through the back loop,half,of the stitch on my needle).
So today, I am trying to learn the correct way to knit. I use to knit continental style but I am having a very hard time completing a stitch with that method now so I am going to try another method to see if that helps.
Does this even sound logical or should I just give away my knitting needles and stick to crochet? :???:
Thanks for any advice,tips and all feedback!
I knit "English" or "throw" style and can get it done pretty quickly. You can try whichever method you're most comfortable with. There is no correct way.
If you were knitting through the wrong leg of the loop, it just twists the stitch--nothing will fall apart, so you don't have to worry about that.
Watch the videos, take your time, and it will come.
You can still continue to wrap the stitches the same, way, just knit or purl into the leg closest to the tip of the needle and the sts won't be twisted. Or you can try english style with the needle in your R hand.
All knitting through the back loop does IS twist the stitch. It's often done intentionally as a decorative stitch and sometimes it's done to tighten a stitch. As long as the stitch is removed properly the knitting won't fall apart. There is a method called 'combination knitting' that some people do in which you knit through the back loop (ktbl) and you untwist the knit on the other side by wrapping the purl under instead of over.
It's good to know the standard method of knitting though, it makes following patterns easier. It doesn't matter one bit whether you continental or English. They both work and both can be fast. It's also handy to know.
Thanks! I have been watching the videos here trying to follow along. My tension seems to be a problem also. Is there a video here for that too? Maybe I over looked it.
learning to knit is harder for me than I thought it would be!
But I will learn the correct way once it registers with my brain! :lol:
Maybe I will try to find an easy pattern to learn with.
I was making dishclothes but couldn't figure out how to make an eyelet now that I am knitting correctly.
An eyelet is a yo and a dec which can be either k2tog or ssk. The yo is just a wrap around the needle and doesn't include knitting a stitch.
I got stuck when it came to which way to wrap the yarn. When I wrap as if I was going to knit the correct way, I ended up with a very large hole, not a small one like before.
Are you talking about the YO? To YO on the knit side you bring the yarn forward between the needles. Then you'll put back over the right needle and knit the next stitch normally. It's supposed to leave a hole or eyelet.
To purl you wrap the yarn over the top of the needle from the right and around.
Here's a little more help. Sometimes it's easier to look at a few different explanations and then it will click. The first link has a good picture.

A while ago I installed the student version of Matlab, and I recently decided to purchase the curvefit toolbox. Installation was straightforward, but after installing the toolbox when I try and run Matlab I get the following error:
Cannot locate com/mathworks/jmi/OpaqueJavaInterface class
At which point clicking OK stops everything.
Any ideas? I've tried re-installing both Matlab and the toolbox (and updating Java), but no change. Mathworks has a help page for this specific error, but It doesn't seem to help.
No products are associated with this question.
Student Version qualifies for MathWorks support with activation, installation, and bug-related issues only. ...
This is an installation issue.

Columbus Day
I keep kinda sorta forgetting that today is Columbus Day. One of the United States' niftier quirks is that Columbus has been adopted as the Italian-American national hero, so in cities with large historic Italian immigrant populations you see some Columbus Day celebrations, but in places like DC there's nothing. This, in my view, is how you can tell that Baltimore — with its Columbus Day parade — is the southernmost of Northeastern cities whereas parade-less DC is the northernmost city of the southeast (if you doubt me, note that the original lyrics of "Hail to the Redskins" enjoined the team to "fight for old Dixie").

Bad weather continues to push a transtasman kayaker further
from land.
Scott Donaldson has been at sea for three months after
leaving Coffs Harbour in New South Wales in April.
He is hoping to be the first person to kayak solo across the
Tasman sea.
Mr Donaldson is within sight of the Taranaki coast but strong
winds have continued to push him further south, and he has
decided to wait out the bad weather.
Mr Donaldson is currently 38 nautical miles from land.
Taupo rescue pilot John Funnell said Mr Donaldson was
expected to start paddling Saturday and said the delay was
"disappointing for everyone".
"Scott knows there's not a lot he can do about this, he's
been preparing for this for ages and he just has to hunker
down and rest up."
Mr Donaldson is now expected to land at Port Taranaki by
Sunday or Monday.
He is making the trip to raise awareness for Asthma NZ, an
illness both he and his 4-year-old son suffer from.
He is also hoping to highlight the importance of increasing
aerobic activity levels in our day to day lives.
This is his second attempt to cross the Tasman, after his
kayak filled with water two days into his his first attempt
in May last year.

I have only recently been introduced to WordPress, so a bit of a novice and thankfully I discovered the Parabola theme, after trying a few others. It is really very customizable to a great level and allows a lot of creativity. New releases (fine tunes) are being made on a regular basis as it's finding its feet, like me! A really easy to follow "Settings area" and easy exporting and importing of settings made is a real bonus.
I would happily recommend it for a user with limited coding abilities who wants a great looking site!

Did you check the Making hyperlinks with relative paths link in the help file? Are the hyperlinks truly relative to the location of your *.mxd?
When you use attachments, the source files are imported into the geodatabase and are stored as binary objects (BLOB). This makes it possible to store your related data centralized. You have also much more options for automating the process of importing related data, such as with the Generate Attachment Match Table GP tool which will let you go through the ...
I'm not aware about using VBScript in QGIS as Python tends to be more commonly used. But yes, there is a similar functionality. You can set up Actions in QGIS, by using Python or shell commands, to perform certain tasks for specific fields: You can access these actions when using Identify Features which will provide you with the list of actions you set up....
I made just a couple of modifications to your script. I fixed your fields variable so that it would not throw an error. Previously, you did not have it wrapped as a string, enclosing with single quotes fixes that problem. This also allows you to expand the script to include additional fields if need be, with a minimum of fuss. It also lets you get rid ...
(1) and (2) are possible with eVis plugin (Documentation). Ad (3): You should be able to use Field Calculator to add the path to the filenames you already in attribute table.

It is easy to add a field to use for your hyperlinks and update it to be the concatenation of two fields for path and file names using the Field Calculator.

Why dont you import the MS tables into a Geodatabase? Linking from a static MS database table may not produce the results you are looking for, as you will need/want to load the data (maybe multiple data layers) and open it into ArcMap.

You do not need to use evis plugin. The actions menu will allow you to open a link stored as attribute value.

The solution was to include the photos as additional files when creating the map package, and setting the hyperlinks to the anticipated relative path (here it was ..\commondata\userdata, as discussed in the ArcMap help on laying out relative hyperlinks) in the extracted *.mpk folder.
Hyperlink Doesn't work that way. Hyperlink wants a file (specific) or URL to open and the application to open it with. You could use it to open windows explorer to a folder with some command line switches, but would probably need to disable the data execution prevention settings. Then perhaps feed in a search string but I haven't found a switch for it.. ...
I don't think the hyperlink functionality is available in a QGIS form as it only seems to display data from the attribute table. There is somewhat of an alternative if speed is your essence: Download and install the Hotlink plugin. Set up an action for your layer by inserting your url into the Action textbox, then click the Add to action list button: ...
As others have stated, you should narrow down your question scope. However I decided to give an answer: is it possible to connect JSON web service to ArcGIS desktop without ArcGIS Server ?

You have to use a freemarker template in Geoserver with a content that converts the urls to hyperlinks.

You could use %26 instead of the & Tool to encode for example http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ If you can edit in plain html you could use this just for the href.
You need to create a point file from your georeferenced photos (if you haven't already) and include the file-path of your image in the attribute table (which again may already exist depending on how the geo-ref photos have been created). It is then possible to use hyperlinks that will open your photo as a pop-up when you select the point in the map view. ...
You use the Identify tool to see the 1:M relationship and then you can use the hyperlink. In this example I have a point dataset called testp which has a relationship with a table called ttp and in this standalone table is a field called HYPERLINK.
For Openstreetmap, the parameters are quite simple: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/47.1911/2.4884 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map= : base url 10/ : zoom level 47.1911/ : latitude of center, North positive 2.4884 : longitude of center, East positive ...
Here is one possible approach: add a new field to the polygon layer calculate it to hold the path to the image corresponding to each polygon in the layer Properties panel, choose the Hyperlinks option, specifying the new field, and to run a script write a script which uses the AddLayer function, with the path coming from the specified field This ...
To get a hyperlink to appear in a pop up box in CartoDB you'll need to have a column in your attribute table for all your hyperlinks. Then you can populate each record with the appropiate hyperlink you would like to appear.

It seems as if everyone who kept sensitive files secure did it with TrueCrypt. Edward Snowden depended on it. So did I.
But now that the popular disk-encryption app is effectively dead — at least for the foreseeable future — it's time to look for a replacement.
In last week's (June 12) Top Story, "The life and untimely demise of TrueCrypt," Susan Bradley reviewed the application's history and stated, "It's a mystery that we gave TrueCrypt such an extraordinary level of trust. It had dubious legal foundations, its developers were unknown, and its support was primarily relegated to forums that are now missing."
In this follow-up article, I'll discuss my own approach to protecting sensitive files, and I'll explain why I — unlike Susan — typically don't recommend Microsoft's BitLocker. I will recommend two file-encryption programs that might take TrueCrypt's place.
How safe is safe enough — and for what?
Let's use your home as an analogy. You probably keep your front door locked — at least at night and when you're away. You might have an alarm system or even bars on the windows. But your security system most likely doesn't match those used by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
Why? Well, for one thing, you can't afford it. But mostly, it would be overkill. Few of us have anything in our homes that would attract the sort of professional thieves who might steal a Van Gogh.
To a large extent, the same rules apply to data. It takes a lot of time and skill to crack encryption, and most criminals are looking for an easy score. Even the NSA, which has the ability to crack all but the best encryption, probably won't bother. It might soak up everyone's cellphone metadata because that's relatively easy. But it reserves the hard work for the few people of interest.

"From the time I left Joan Jett and the
Blackhearts around 1991, I was really trying to see what I
sounded like on my own," says Byrd. "I knew who my influences
were—I grew up on everything from the Raspberries to
the Who to the Stones to the Yardbirds to Otis Redding. If you
just mix that all in a stew, I guess it comes out Ricky Byrd. But
I had all these false starts. I got caught up in what I thought
the music business wanted, and I learned pretty fast that the
biggest mistake you can make is try to write for the charts. Like, if you
tried to write a Cher song—well, she wouldn't be doing a 'Cher song.' No
matter what you did, they were doing something else. So I learned a great
lesson—which was to just try to write a great song. If the artist is smart
enough, they'll hear how they could make that great song their own.
"So as far as finding my style
as a guitar player and a songwriter,
I just figured I'd let my influences
reign, find my voice through that
stuff, and not give a sh*t. I mean,
there's no one telling me that I have
to try this or try that on my own
album. I'm writing the check! So
that freed me up to do the most
important thing you can do as an
artist: Lead with the truth. I decided
to do a record that had the same
heart and soul as the music that
thrilled me when I was 14 years
old. Period. I didn't really care
what everybody thought about
it. I wasn't asking for opinions,
and I didn't edit anything if a song
started to sound too much like a
song I loved back in the day. After
all, you can't get stuck on whether
something sounds dated or too
close to your influences. Justin Timberlake's new thing is basically being
the Temptations, but I'd say 75 percent of his fans don't know who the
Temptations are, so, to them, it sounds like he is doing something original.
There's nothing new under the sun, so just go for something that
excites you, be honest, and your style will be heard."
After many years backing up Joan Jett (it's his power chords on "I Love Rock 'n' Roll"), Ian Hunter, Roger Daltrey, and others, Ricky Byrd recently
released his debut solo album, Lifer [Kayos]. He recorded a ton of the guitar parts with various Gibsons and either a '65 blackface Fender Deluxe
or an early-'70s Fender Champ perched atop his toilet and miked up in the bathroom. "You can't lose with Gibson guitars and Fender amps," he

HOUSTON -- Your favorite Monday tradition will have to wait. Until Tuesday.
The next unveiling of the Power Rankings has been pushed back 24 hours because NBA arenas are dark on the day after the All-Star Weekend.
And because ...
To properly transport ourselves back to the regular season, these are just as important: Our second annual 30 Games To Go, 13 Things To Know package.
1. Dallas and San Antonio haven't played since Dec. 1 and have to play twice more before the playoffs: March 2 and April 7.
It's a two-part playoff preview for the Texas rivals . . . but with the Spurs, who host both games, already bracing for the strong possibility that the Mavs will have home-court advantage in their unavoidable second-round collision.
"We have to understand that Dallas is for real," Spurs guard Tony Parker said, leaving his maiden weekend of All-Star glory behind. "Avery [Johnson] is a good coach and he knows our playbook by heart."
2. Miami and Detroit play twice more before the playoffs, too, which gives us two more chances (March 22 and April 6) to gauge whether Dwyane Wade's fourth-quarter flurry on Blizzard Weekend snowballs into a full-fledged turning point in the Heat's season.
Can Miami come together with sufficient effort and sacrifice to become an actual team? Is Shaq sufficiently healthy to uncork the postbreak surge he's been promising all weekend?
"It's going to be us and somebody," Detroit's Rasheed Wallace said of the Eastern Conference finals, refusing to pencil the Heat in. "That's all I know for sure."
3. The biggest X-factor in the title race is not Amare Stoudemire.
It's Tim Duncan's health, even though Duncan refused to agree with me when I hit him with that theory here. His official response: "I don't know about all that."
But it's true. Duncan has been plagued by plantar fasciitis all season and is averaging just 15 points per game in February. He doesn't sound too confident about getting to full health before the playoffs, either. "I hope so" is as far as he'll go. Factor in Manu Ginobili's off-and-on health woes and it's no mystery why Dallas and Phoenix (even without Amare Stoudemire) each believes it can prevent a Spurs-Pistons rematch.
(Yet you'd also be wise to take note of the fact that the Spurs, for all their supposed vulnerability, are still on a 63-win pace.)
4. Don't get me wrong: Stoudemire remains, at worst, X-factor 1A.
It remains to be seen whether he can make his comeback from knee surgery in March or whether he'll have to wait until April -- "It'll probably be at least a month," one Suns source said -- and I'd still vote to keep Amare seated for the entire season if it were my franchise.
But I'm betting on a way-too-underrated Mike D'Antoni (with an assist from Steve Nash) to make sure their one-of-a-kind inside force is a playoff plus ... after the inevitable early struggles to work him back into a revamped group that has learned how to win without him.
5. Unlike his coach and Shawn Marion, Nash is moving as far away from underrated as you can get.
He's not quite as big a lock as Chris Paul for Rookie of the Year, but the player who makes more players better than anyone else enters the stretch run as a clear-cut favorite to repeat as league MVP.
If you don't want to believe a longtime Nash devotee like me, listen to his peers. A slew of fellow All-Stars are all picking Nash at the 50-game pole, including Duncan, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal and Elton Brand.
6. I believe that, yes, we'll finally see LeBron James in the playoffs this spring, but you won't see him higher than No. 4 on my MVP ballot unless the Cavs surge to the finish line for once after two collapses.
LBJ has bumped Kobe Bryant down a spot with the Lakers slipping, but I'd like to see James do better when it comes to lifting those around him. The Cavs are without Larry Hughes for the rest of the regular season, but Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Drew Gooden and Donyell Marshall ain't slouches.
7. Relax. Haven't forgotten about Thursday's trade deadline. That's all you're going to hear about for the rest of the week anyway.
I'll simply go out on a limb and predict that the Nuggets, after weathering more trade speculation than any other team on the map, finally deal Earl Watson or Nene (or both) this week. I'm far more skeptical that they can find a new home for Kenyon Martin before the trade buzzer, as much as K-Mart undoubtedly wants one after hearing his name in so many scenarios. And I'd like to believe that the Nuggets (even Furious George) can see the absurdity of uniting two guys from the same part of the world (Carmelo Anthony and Steve Francis) who don't care for each other and will thus cease their pursuit of Francis.
8. Kobe and Kevin Garnett missing the playoffs for a second straight season? It's a legit possibility, although the Lakers' home-heavy schedule should help Kobe's cause.
Either way, while it's safe to say that the mighty West is definitely down -- thanks to the many injuries that have weakened Phoenix, Houston and Denver -- maybe I need to tone down my West-bashing if those two guys are playoff maybes. That "new" East has been far more disappointing.
9. This is the first time in four decades (yes, four) that we reached the All-Star break with three go-to gents averaging at least 30 points per game: Bryant (35.0 ppg), Iverson (33.2) and LeBron (31.2).
Of course, given how shaky the Lakers and Philly have looked lately, Kobe and A.I. might have to get closer to the 40 range to ensure reaching the postseason. Chicago and (gasp) Toronto refuse to acknowledge to my recent claim that the East's eight playoff teams won't change between now and the end of the season ... and Ron Artest seems intent (if you're gullible enough to make such judgments after 11 games) on getting through his first half-season in Sacramento without incident or a trip to the lottery.
10. Latrell Sprewell remains in hibernation.
Just want to make sure you haven't forgotten about Spree in the unlikely event some team out there comes up with the millions (yes, plural) needed to lure him back to NBA civilization.
11. March will be big and emotional for the Hornets, with three games back in New Orleans.
April will be even bigger and more emotional when this Cinderella team and all of its award candidates -- Paul (ROY), Byron Scott (Coach of the Year), David West (Most Improved) and Speedy Claxton (Sixth Man) -- host a playoff game in Oklahoma City. A team most experts figured wouldn't win 25 games.
Yet as stated in the last batch of Power Rankings, we're all-in believers in the Hornets' ability to maintain their top-eight slot, no matter how ripe for a collapse they might seem.
12. Admit it. Even if you're a West Coaster who thinks the Knicks get more media spotlight than they deserve, even you're curious to see just how low these Knicks can go.
Even you are wondering whether they can win seven more games to make sure they're not remembered as Larry Brown's worst pro team ever.
Even you want to see whether Isiah Thomas can survive his off-court troubles.
Or his front-office troubles. Not only is there no Patrick Ewing on the horizon to come rescue them in the draft, as when they last plummeted to these depths, don't forget that the Isiah Knicks have already dealt away their potential No. 1 pick to Chicago and agreed to swap picks with Chicago next year, too, if the Bulls want to -- even if the Knicks win the 2007 draft lottery. Not that there's any pressure on Eddy Curry.
13. As curious as I am to see what kind of Heat we get in the playoffs, Detroit has to be watched more closely than 'Sheed thinks.
These Pistons, as everyone knows, love to be dissed. They fuel themselves with disrespect. Problem is, they're darlings now.
In rainy Houston, they were drenched with respect. All of the 70-win talk has stopped, but All-Star Weekend was a celebration of Detroit's first half and its four starters.
'Sheed doesn't deny it that he "liked it a whole lot better before." Which makes you wonder: Is flattery the key to messing with the Pistons' mind-set?
"It's going to be new for us," Chauncey Billups said, "because we've always kind of flown under the radar a little bit. . . . The perception of us has definitely changed."

Hastings Chronicle is an archive of news dating back to 1848. After submitting some 1500+ posts into various categories without problem, I have discovered that some of the articles are not appearing on the public site. Upon further investigation it appears that when I go into the post to edit it, the status says published, but the 'Publish' button is still there alongside 'Save' and 'Save and Continue'. This would indicate that the post isn't published. However, it doesn't appear as a draft in the top of the post management section.
As you can tell this is causing a lot of concern due to the fact we do not know how many other posts are in this state of limbo.
An example of a post in limbo is:
The link is published online and is live, doesn't appear as a draft in the post management section but when editing the post the publish button still persists.
Can anyone shed some light on the process of ensuring this post appears in the categories as it should.

Patient Comments: Ascites - Cause
Question:What was the cause of the ascites you experienced?
Comment from: Big Brian, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: December 28
My abdominal ascites was caused by congestive heart failure. Diuretics have drained me of about 5 liters of fluid. I have lost weight, and my waistline is two inches smaller. I feel a whole lot better. I urinate often during the day, and not much at night, because I take my diuretics early in the morning.
Comment from: icanbeatthis, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: July 19
My ascites was due to metastases of a breast cancer that had been diagnosed 12 years earlier. The original breast cancer had spread to my uterus, cervix, and ovaries. I had a total hysterectomy and have been on chemo now for two years. I still have ascites off and on, but if it is bothersome, I have it drained. I'm still fighting and waiting for a cure.
Comment from: Felicitas, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: August 17
On a recent CT scan I was diagnosed with small ascites in the pelvis and the abdomen. However I have never been a drinker and both my heart and liver are normal. I also have a flat stomach with no inflammation. My symptoms are periodic severe stomach pains in the upper section of my stomach followed by severe inflammation of the abdomen. No ulcers nor any other abnormality of the stomach diagnosed.
Comment from: Connie, Female (Patient) Published: May 18
I had a liver transplant in 2004. I was in the hospital a few weeks ago because of headaches, but while they were checking me out they said I have a sac of fluid in my abdomen. I am scheduled to see a surgeon. I also had an open sore on my stomach which they said was staph. Not sure how serious this it yet.
Comment from: 65-74 Female Published: March 09
I have what the Dr. is calling "Traumatic Ascites". Because they have eliminated all of the textbook answers and can find no reason for it. About a month after I took a hard fall directly on my stomach it began to occur. When I fell I was carrying something and should have dropped it and didn't. I am on Lasix and Spirolactone. Our local Dr. suggested going to Mayo Clinic. I very much doubt if they would find anything but run all the tests that have already been run.
Comment from: warka, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: August 30
My mother has been diagnosed with ascites. She is still under diagnosis process of an underlying cause of ascites. She is not malignant, albumin is fine, liver ultrasound is ok. Further investigations are underway. She is 72 and has been on Hemodialysis for the past 11 years. Her heart is really weak. She also has a pace maker for slow pulse. She is very frail and it's difficult for a daughter to see her in such a situation.
Comment from: Warriorwoman, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 08
My ascites was the first symptom I had of ovarian cancer. My abdomen started expanding, first slowly and I thought it was just weight gain. It was not much, just enough that my slacks were tighter to fasten. I didn't think anything was wrong that a little diet and exercise could fix. Then the distension increased rather rapidly over a two week period. Even though I was feeling fine, I consulted a doctor who ordered a CT scan. That discovered the ascites and other scan findings were suggestive of late stage ovarian cancer. I was eventually diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer and am in the great fight.
Comment from: A, 45-54 Female (Caregiver) Published: November 06
My mom is 46 years old suffering from BUD CHIARI SYNDROME for the last three years followed by abdominal distention and ascites, it's a very difficult time for her despite the best available treatment her condition is critical, and for me as well. It's just unbearable to see her shouting with pain.

Cardioversion: Atrial Fibrillation
In atrial fibrillation, erratic electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (atria) cause those chambers to fibrillate, or quiver. This results in an irregular and frequently rapid heart rate. The irregular pattern in the electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) tracing shows these erratic impulses.

Six lucky kids in Hong Kong got to celebrate their birthdays with a set of panda twins this weekend.
They got to celebrate with Ying Ying and Le Le, who turned 5, at Ocean Park. There was an icy birthday cake with red apples, carrots and ice cream.
The kids were selected after being among the first to register with the park to join in the fun.
