Chapter 20
Drowning, sinking. No breath reaches my lungs. Water surrounds me as I fall into the growing darkness bubbles escape my lips in a scream of terror. My brain screams for oxygen and as much as I fight to the surface my clothes drag me down, wearing a ball gown the fabrics cling to my skin even tighter, the skirts tangling with my leg kicks as I try to find the right way up...
Blackness. "Have you given her water? Food? She's going to waste away for gods sake! Somebody help her!" I frantically call out as I see her pale form swamped and shadowed beneath the bed sheets, it's the middle of the night and after finding out there was nothing we could do I'd walked around the palace in a frenzy until finally I forced myself to see her.
I'm walking my feet are bloody, my shoes long gone I fall to knees looking for water, my hair clings to me like ivy to a wall sweat raining down my face yet none of the moisture reaches my lips. I try to call out but my voice breaks from the dryness, no moisture, and no sound, same for my empty tears.
Darkness. I clasp my hand in hers clammy and fevered yet cold and dry, her eyes flicker and the tiniest thread of hope lifts me but I know it's only false hope as she cackles in my ears. Faline walks into the room and we exchange a concerned glare, the closest we come to agree on anything since our reunion. Dee's well being.
The corridor is long and whispering shadows surround me, a woman stands out in the open air on the snow covered ground. She turns and I gasp, my voice louder as it echoes from the desolate walls, she smiles that twisted smile. The snow clashes harshly against her yellow pallor making her look even sicklier, her hair hangs limply in dull black strands and her eyes glower menacingly as she expects my approach.
"Glad you could finally make it." her voice is sharp yet croaks as if it isn't used to speaking aloud. I shiver even though I'm wearing my winter coat glancing around quickly I recognise but can't place the tree clearing. "I suppose your here to save my Raphael." She gloats with a hard laugh, waving her hands shadows disperse from the edges of my vision and I turn quickly and hold back a scream, whimpering at the sight.
Rafe looked lifeless yet no blood surrounds him, his eyes open yet dead, dead flat gold. "Give him back." I say through my teeth holding myself back from running to him. If I step any closer she will spring the trap I knew I had walked into. She glances at him scornfully and walks to him, I hold in a scream as she bends down and pushes his dark locks away from his face she leans closer to him and kisses him slowly on the lips.
My heart stops in my chest and I fall to my knees. She makes the kiss deeper and he responds to her touch his eyes flaring molten gold as he brings her closer to him. A scream "No! Stop!" tears itself from my chest and tears slowly slide down my cheeks. She leans away from him a twisted smile on her thin lips, I glance at his eyes and they turn flat gold under her spell, "He's always loved me." she croaks almost adoringly as she pats his ashen cheek. Turning once more towards him she picks something up off the floor and brings it harshly down on his head, I gasp as the blood instantly wells from the old pinprick scars.
Scrambling to my feet I try to run to him, try to get that ghastly crown from his head. "My king has come." She smiles widely her teeth yellowed and pointed, sweeping her arms wide shadows knock me to my feet and seem to hold me down. I struggle and twist trying to get out of their grasp "Daahlia you have lost," she elongates my name "You couldn't save him in time, instead you went to find your dead mother rather than save your lover." I scream in fury more than pain her cackling echoing around the clearing.
Eventually I stop struggling making myself turn away from the sight of Rafe, making sure I keep my attention on the hag. The shadows slowly drift away and I get to my feet gasping as the cold air and my wet, snow covered clothes soak through to my skin "Time to end this." She smiles widely at my new found strength as I walk towards her. My determination grows and suddenly I'm in front of her "You're mine." She says tauntingly whilst clasping her hands together and the shadows begin to swarm around us...
Brightness. Nevan shakes my shoulder as I slowly drift, I'd not left her room since the night I'd returned to see her, except for the torturous meetings that I was forced to attend. As I rouse I notice his gaze linger on her lifeless form concern etching his youthful face though these past days he appears to have aged with worry over his lost daughter. "She's nearly fully healed, she'll be with us soon..." His voice carries off with the hope he tries to muster in his usual flamboyant flare but his smile doesn't quite make it, I slump into the high backed chair once more, now used to the real Nevan.
Images flicker all around me and I stare in awe as moments in my life flash by. Surreal. I see myself as a baby in my mother's arms, I feel tears prick at the corner of my eyes, she was beautiful her hair just a bit darker than mine, her eyes a hazel green. My brow furrows in confusion but is quickly melted as more images unfold, me with my mother... My father, I cringe slightly as I watch Nevan's devoted and adoring gaze as he follows my mother and me around the small cottage quaint room yet somehow sad tears form in my eyes as I watch the life I would have had if... what did happen? I realise I don't even know.
The images grow darker showing me crying in my crib around two years old, Nevan... My father... Whispering a sorrowful but quick and hasty goodbye to my mother, her eyes so sullen and broken as she kisses him tenderly in farewell. He kisses me on my forehead and my crying stops, two year old me smiles up at him and he smiles sadly back, he makes little fireworks shoot from his fingers and she- I clap in delight. Then he walks out of the door.
We're running, I'm four maybe five and somebody is chasing us, my hair falls half way down my back in tight spirals and I wear a little pink dress, my mother clings tightly too me scooping me up as I trip and fall on the dirt road. She hugs me tight and I inhale her sweet smell of strawberries and summer, my eyes are closed tight so I don't see our hunters.
The image flickers again and we're at the Arcana house, my dress is muddied and ruined showing that some time has passed, my hair no longer in spirals but more natural waves and lot more dishevelled, I see my mother crying as I play with an old doll but she's talking to an old yet youthful woman, Grams, my younger self knows not to interrupt a grown up conversation.
My four year old self is asleep in the old armchair of the day room, a book falls from my fingers open on the floor, my mother brushes hair from my eyes and kisses my forehead "I'll always love you. Be good, please don't hate me or your father." She whispers in my ear and I mumble in my sleep, wiping her tears away she steps back exchanging more words with Grams "She won't remember any of this, not until the time is right. To her you will have died when she was a baby, her father nobody knows of except a select few, for now anyway." My mother lets out a quiet sob before kissing and smoothing my hair once more, Grams dismisses her with a look though it is full of sorrow and loss "Be safe Pythia."
Flicker of images and I'm crying for my mummy, Grams gives me a medicine to help me sleep though it's other properties include memory wiping. The images get faster and I see things that I remember, playing with other Arcana family members and pranking whoever I could, hours and hours of reading in the day room ignoring studies on being an Oracle and the history of Wintrem. Eventually they merge spinning faster and faster making me dizzy I cry out as the images hurt my eyes and sounds vibrate around the room, they start to slow when I see Rafe for the first time, me looking up into the shadows and glinting golden eyes peering back at me, him carrying me, we're talking around the campfire, we're walking, we're dancing, we're kissing.
The images stop at this precise moment and my cheeks redden as I see our bodies clashing in a fit of passion the kiss deepening until he pulls away, I flinch at the memory of the hurt and I watch his expression as he leaves, his eyes tortured rather than hateful. Suddenly a weight seems to lift from my shoulders and the images fall away until I'm standing in a blank white room, emptiness surrounds me and my footsteps seem to echo around as I search for a way out.
I inhale a breath, my body arches from the bed and I gasp as the air courses into my lungs, my eyes still shut I clench my fists scared to open them in case it was another very vivid dream. The images still flicker through my mind water, desert, the shadows and Rafe, my mother... Nevan reliving those moments with Rafe made my heart beat harder in my chest and I feel the blush rise to my cheeks. I try to calm down my fast breaths when suddenly I feel a soft yet rough hand squeeze mine, I squeeze back with my eyes still closed a silent hope that this is actually real, feeling my skin react to his the tingling and butterflies quickly return "I know you're awake." I hear the soft smile on his lips as I slowly open my eyes.
I exhale slowly and let my gaze wonder around the dimly lit room, the fire flickers in the hearth and the room glows the blue of the ice palace walls which had begun to feel homely. Finally I set my eyes on Rafe, his eyes are soft molten gold and he has a small amount of stubble along his jaw which indicates the length of time that he hadn't left my side, a feeling of gratitude overcomes me and a tiny blush raises to my pale cheeks. He still smiles at me and his eyes search mine, his hand clutches to mine and he lifts his other and rests it on the side of my steadily heating face, I look down embarrassed and tentative to speak.
He beats me to it "I'm sorry for what happened at the ball, I had to get away I didn't want to hurt you." His voice pleads for forgiveness and I nod my head slowly, knowing that I wasn't angry at him I strangely understood the situation he was in. I attempt to speak but noise fails to escape my lips instead I croak and splutter on my dry throat, suddenly I'm left alone as Rafe rushes to get water from the dresser over by the armoire I can't help but feel the slight loss as if someone had taken away a limb, I needed him with me to feel complete, how did this happen?
I sigh inwardly and attempt to get out of the bed suddenly feeling claustrophobic and definitely not in need of sleep, standing up my legs wobble and I end up tippling backwards onto the bed much to the amusement of Rafe who chuckles and walks over to help me stand up. "You know I could get used to the silence." I raise my brows at him and he laughs though I notice a shift in his eyes as they harden slightly he smiles as best he can and hands me the water.
I drink greedily gulping down mouthfuls, wetting my dry throat I cough and splutter occasionally but carry on drinking until there is no more water and I look at him gratefully "Thanks." I manage to whisper without coughing though I still sound croaky. He nods his head and moves my hair out of my eyes "Please don't leave me like that again." He says almost desperately and steps closer so that we are a hairs breadth apart, I inhale his musky scent and wait in anticipation my skin running with electricity as he brings his head down to meet mine. Our lips touch softly and I try to step even closer attempting to tangle my arms around his when suddenly my vision goes black and I'm sat back on the bed, he looks at me concerned but that crooked smile tugs at his lips.
"Well someone's been busy." The voice comes from the doorway and I immediately blush as Faline saunters into the room I glance quickly at Rafe and notice his cheeks tinted with slightly more colour. Faline throws me a quick toothy smile and pushes her silver hair behind her shoulder "I'm glad your okay." She says and bounces over too me as Rafe moves away as if to blend into the background a tension seems to rise in the room and I throw a confused glance between the two, she waves away my glance by sitting down next to me.
"You've missed nothing of importance even though you have a lot to catch up on." She gives me her trade mark mischievous grin and I find myself mustering a small smile back. I notice Rafe edge his way to the door "I'll let you get sorted out then." He clears his throat and sends an apologetic grin my way as he leaves. I suddenly realise the need to go to the toilet and the hunger that made my stomach rumble like a whale, Faye laughs and stands up grabbing clothes from the oaken armoire "Come on let's get you a bath and some food." I go to follow her nervously unsure as to what rumours await me outside the door, she noticed my apprehension "Don't worry it's around two in the morning and barely anyone's up." She reassures me and I visibly relax.
Retracing my steps around the palace felt unusual at first, especially as I realised just how scantily I was dressed "Well I thought you needed to look good if you were just going to be lying there." Faye quips over her shoulder as I attempt to pull down the hem of the nightie my cheeks redden as I realise I was wearing this in front of Rafe and I groan inwardly, why can't we just attempt to have a normal relationship?
I falter slightly in my step as I process my thoughts, relationship? We'd kissed and I was calling it a relationship, damn I need to sort out my priorities... I cover the strides distance between me and Faye as we approach the baths plucking up the courage to ask about what was between her and Rafe. "So what's the thing with you and Rafe?" I ask surprising myself with my bluntness and even the tint of green eyed jealousy lining my vision. "Well we knew each other long ago and were pretty close," she says teasingly smiling like a Cheshire Cat as she notices how much her words were beginning to get to me "We had a bad break up-" suddenly I see red and struggle to control the jealousy coursing through my veins as I look at the flawless Faline... and then she laughs. I look at her confused my vision clearing and my breathing hard on my chest slowly begins to calm as she touches- no, as she attempts to touch my shoulder.
Everything comes into focus as I notice a bubble around me crackling with energy, I panic and cry out and as fast as it appeared it was gone with a snap that I felt in my gut. I sag slightly and Faye pulls me against her "You need to control your emotions Dee. As I was saying we had a bad break up when I was little, he was in that arranged marriage and I looked up to him, my big brother, my knight in shining armour." Her voice trails off and her eyes glaze as she remembers a happier time in her childhood, I register her words and gasp "You? Him? Brother and sister? But how?" The question comes tumbling and she doesn't stop me and doesn't answer my questions either. I realise that we're at the baths and I strip down, still self conscious in front of Faye's flawless body but less modest than I was before as I felt the desperate need for a wash, I walk to a pool and sink in with a deep sigh. Faye soon follows and sits across from me, she lets me wash and when finally I'm just soaking in the warm water her voice oddly quiet and subdued drifts over the steaming water to me "My father was the king of an old settlement that's long gone now, and when Rafe's mother lost her daughter in childbirth she became detached from the king and so the king had an affair with a died out species now of the old fae. Any way I turn up on the door step of this castle a little baby halfling," she smiles a sad twisted smile before she continues "I wasn't accepted by many except Rafe, he was my hero but by the time I was bonding with him and when I most needed him he was sent away and never came back."
Her soft voice drifts off and we sit in silence for a while lost in our thoughts "I'm sorry Faye... But at least you have your family back." She smiles at me tentatively and nods briefly before stepping out of the water, I quickly follow and we dry and dress before heading to the kitchens to grab a midnight snack. By the time I'd finished eating, I'd managed to eat the left over bread rolls and soup from people's dinners and the chef had begun cooking breakfast for the workers in the palace. Me and Faye quickly took our leave, our conversations dwindling on silly subjects both of us avoiding the real, serious things that were whirring around our minds.

Flight attendants are really taking off
By Donna Freydkin, special for USA TODAY
The sky's the limit for flight attendants, the glam globe-trotters
who are earning their wings on the page, on the big screen and on the fashion
Signs that flight attendants are suddenly chic:
The public's fascination with flight attendants goes back
to May 15, 1930, when the first one, Iowan Ellen Church, started flying on Boeing
Air Transport. Like Church, early stewardesses were registered nurses hired
to convince a wary public that airplanes were safe, but they quickly became
icons of style and sophistication.
"They were independent women with glamorous jobs when that
was rare," says Johanna Omelia, who co-wrote Come Fly With Us with Michael
Waldock. "They shopped in Italy, swam in Bali, dined in Paris, traveled around
the world and were admired every step of the way. Even today, you can come out
from whatever your background is and be in Tokyo tomorrow."
The early jet-setters had to look the part. The 1930s attendants
were single, under 25, weighed less than 115 pounds and were shorter than 5-foot-4
— for practical reasons, too, because planes were small and narrow. In
the '70s, weight and marriage restrictions were dropped, and courts forced airlines
to hire male stewards. Even though "flight attendants remain the face of the
airline," says Omelia, their primary focus, as in the early days, is on passenger
comfort and safety.
"Flight attendants are a mirror of how far women have come,"
says Bergen, who plays Sally Weston, View's patron saint of flight attendants.
"Before, they were seen as sex objects, but job and packaging and requirements
have changed so much over the years. Now, they're here to help passengers get
from point A to point B in one piece, and they have to wield hot water as a
Movies continue to pay homage to these jills-of-all-trades
who mix strong drinks, warm baby bottles and instruct passengers on emergency
landing procedures. In Cameron Crowe's '70s music tribute Almost Famous,
Anita Miller (Zooey Deschanel) escapes a domineering mother by becoming a stewardess.
In last year's Catch Me If You Can, fugitive Frank Abagnale (Leonardo
DiCaprio) is surrounded by a harem of fawning flight attendants as he coolly
strolls to a plane. Even View's Preston was smitten with flight attendants
while dating a pilot in her late teens.
"I thought it could be a very fun and interesting job with
irresistible perks," says Preston, who is married to avid pilot John Travolta.
"It's such a great gift to be able to see the world. There was a real elegance
to being a flight attendant, something very stylish about it."
Certainly, flight attendants set trends in the swinging
'60s and '70s. Pucci created Air Braniff's psychedelic uniforms while TWA went
one better by having its women wear paper outfits. Only slightly less lurid
is Preston's gaudy fuchsia and purple ensemble in View, which she dubs
"the Lycra special with the knee boots."
On the more conservative side is Givenchy's MacDonald.
MacDonald spent eight months designing British Airway's tailored collection
of dark navy Polyester/wool low-slung pants, tailored skirts, lean jackets —
all with flashy metallic gray or red linings — and white cotton shirts.
The official rollout date is still pending.
"There's always a mystery about flight attendants," he
says. "You have these glamorous people who fly around the world. Air travel
is exciting and takes you beyond your normal life to a holiday destination or
a place of dreams, and their look should reflect that.

Genre: Young Adult
"I'm Liam.. Liam Marshall." He stuck his hand out then awkwardly pulled it away realizing I couldn't shake it. Let alone did I even want to. "And your name is..?" Liam continued. I saw Dylan's house just a block away. It was rude of me to ignore him but I kept walking silently with him following beside me like a little kid. Liam cleared his throat still waiting for an answer.
"Listen, you don't have have to be so rude to me. I don't even know you and I helped you pick up your mess because you ran into me. The least you could do is say thank you! I'm being polite and what do I get in return? You ignoring me. What is your problem!? Huh? Oh wait, you won't answer that even though I did absolutely nothing wrong. I helped you for crying out loud!" His husky voice rising in volume. I couldn't ignore him now. I'm never mean like this. I've just had a crappy past few days.
"I'm sorry.. I'm not mean, really. I'm Amanda Conner. It's nice to meet you Liam. And thank you for helping me pick everything up. I really appreciate it." I still didn't look over at him but I was just hoping he would believe me.
"How am I supposed to believe that you're even moderately nice? You suck at first impressions." He retorted. Well he didn't believe me.
"I don't have time for another jerk in my life. I don't even know you, what am I saying. You're not apart of my life. You helped me pick up this box full of junk. I'm trying to get rid of this anyways. You've said what you needed to so if you're done being a prick you can go." I snapped back. I wasn't in the mood for this. I didn't need some guy I barely knew make me cry. I'm sick of crying.
I heard his footsteps stop and I was slightly relieved. Just on cue they caught up with me and I sighed. He walked silently beside me for a few minutes. I felt a bit uncomfortable but not enough to break the awkward silence between the two of us. I could hear his even breathing and his footsteps against the concrete sidewalk.
"Where are you headed to?" He murmured almost silently. I could hear the sympathy dripping from every word he spoke.
"I'm dropping off this box at a... Uh.. A friends house." My voiced cracked on the word friend and I fell silent embarrassed with myself. His voice barely audible in the wind he spoke again.
"He's not your friend is he." It wasn't a question though. He knew very well, even though he had no clue who Dylan was, that he was not my friend. I didn't reply and he spoke again. "Do you want me to carry that for you?" Directing this question to the box that was growing heavier by the second. Dylan's house was closer now. I just had to cross the street and I would be standing right in front of it. I shook my head in response and adjusted my grip on the bottom of the box.
The two of us waited silently for the little green person to pop up signaling we could cross the street safely. He kept quiet but never left my side. We walked across the street and I stopped in front of the off-white house. Liam was blocking my path up to the front steps but at this point I was glad he had walked with me. As much as he annoyed me I was relieved he was standing there with me. With him there I wouldn't let myself burst into the tears that so desperately wanted to flood my eyes. I haven't looked at him once this whole time. I have no idea what this guy with the husky, stern, yet calming voice looks like.
I pulled my lips into my mouth and brushed passed Liam without another word. I could feel his eyes on my back waiting patiently for my return. All of my muscles in my body froze as soon as my foot planted itself on the first step of Dylan's house. I took in a deep shaky breath, the cold air piercing my lungs. Barely making my way up the four uneven steps I set the box down on the doormat. I stood there for a few moments trying to force the tears back.
I took a step back and turned on my heel walking down the steps silently. I looked at the ground the whole time not wanting Liam, or anyone for that matter, to see the tears that had stained my cheeks. I stood next to his broad frame he was much taller than I was I didn't have to look up to know that. I wiped my cheeks quickly and sniffled.
"I can walk you home if you like.." Each word he spoke laced with genuine worry for me. I nodded in response and shivered a little. I realized now that my light jacket had not provided much heat. I saw Liam shift next to me and he placed his warm coat over my shoulders. I held it tight around me gratefully.
"Thank you." I mumbled looking at the ground as we walked side by side. His long black coat went down to my knees and smelled like fresh linen. I felt so at ease next to the stranger I had met merely half an hour ago. I looked over at his tan arms and saw goose bumps rise on his skin.
"Amanda..?" He started and I nodded to acknowledge that I was listening to him. "Why haven't you looked at me?" His question caught me off guard and I fumbled over my words not knowing the exact reason why I hadn't.
"I.. Well.. Honestly.. I'm not sure why.." I mumbled not sure if he could hear me clearly or not. I felt his warm fingers touch my chin lifting it up gently. I didn't fight him.
His piercing hazel eyes looking into mine intently. His strong defined jawline clenched in worry. His dark brown hair was wind blown into a mess on top of his head. He was wearing a long sleeved thermal, the sleeves pushed up to his elbows showed off his toned arms. His full lips were pulled into a line across his face with his cheekbones set high on his face. His broad chest was stuck out making him look masculine. He was about six feet tall, a full foot taller than me. Dylan compared to Liam was a stick figure.
His hand moved its way up my jawbone settling itself on my cheek. I could see the look of anticipation in his eyes. He wanted me to say something but I had nothing to offer. His warm hand pressed against my frozen cheek sent comfort shooting through every part of me. His eyes were so intimidating but they made me feel so relaxed.. So at home. His tongue ran smoothly over his chapped lips and his thumb stroked my cheek.

InhaltsverzeichnisPreface; Introduction; 1. Businessman-MP and junior minister 1908-March 1921; 2. The Coalition Cabinet, April 1921-October 1922; 3. Chancellor and prime minister, October 1922-September 1923; 4. Protection and its aftermath, October 1923-January 1924; 5. Leader of the opposition, January-October 1924; 6.

Baldwin collections.
PortraitPHILIP WILLIAMSON is Professor of History, University of Durham. EDWARD BALDWIN, 4th Earl Baldwin of Bewley, is the prime minister's grandson. After a career in education, he has sat in the House of Lords since 1988, speaking on educational, medical and environmental matters.
PressestimmenReview of the hardback: 'Tom Jones, one of Baldwin's closest confidants, once told Vincent Massey that Baldwin had 'goodwill' but was hobbled by 'indecision and mental indolence'. These papers do not entirely acquit Baldwin of such charges but they show a man of generosity, decency and total integrity.' The Spectator Review of the hardback: '... magnificent volume ... this collection of letters, memos, notes and extracts from others do give a rounded picture of a thoroughly decent man - perhaps the most quintessentially English prime minister of the last century or more.' The House Magazine Review of the hardback: '... a fascinating collection of papers - put together with scholarship and presented in a most attractive format ...' The House Magazine Review of the hardback: '... an invaluable tool ... an interesting read ... gives a valuable insight into the Conservative perspective of events during the 1920s and 30s.' Open History Review of the hardback: 'This enjoyable selection well shows why Baldwin, as Churchill admitted in 1935, enjoyed 'a fund of personal goodwill and public confidence'. Cambridge University Press has done a great service to the memory of a much maligned figure'. Contemporary Reviews

Great little board. 08/10/2013
This review is from: BIOSTAR NM70I-847 Intel Celeron 847 1.1GHz 2C/2T BGA1023 Intel NM70 Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Small, fast and cheap. What more do you need? Works great as an HTPC main board.
Other Thoughts:
This is a fantastic little board/CPU combo. I was hesitant to buy it at first, as I've never owned anything by Biostar and they don't always have the best reviews. Plus, I wasn't sure if the board/CPU could run HD MKVs and the like.
I'm pleased to say it runs great and has readily handled everything I've thrown at it, using the onboard graphics and sound. Paired it with a 275W PSU, 8G of RAM & Windows 7 64 bit and it runs like a champ. I use it off and on several days per week and it hasn't given me any issues.

UK-based graffiti artist Banksy is easily the most famous graffiti artist in the world. His work has appeared in cities all over in city streets or in his own exhibitions. Banksy is known for creating controversial art that is socially conscious and often politically motivated. One theme in his work seems to be the negative effects of capitalism and consumer culture along with the power of the media. Banksy touches on this theme in his work known as Thug For Life Bunny.
In the piece, which was originally located in London, UK, a joyful, fun, innocent-looking bunny sits smiling. He is wearing a bright pink shirt that reads THUG FOR LIFE" and the viewer can see that he has a cigar in one paw and a shiny ring on the other. Perhaps the artist is trying to convey and criticize how the media and entertainment industry have commodified the idea of thug life" as talked about by hip-hop artists so that young, innocent souls such as this bunny actually aspire to be thugs.

Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand
Impulse oscillometry system (IOS) assesses respiratory system resistance (Rrs) at different frequencies and differentiates between central and peripheral components of airway obstruction. Increased Rrs at a low oscillation frequency (5Hz) reflects an increase in total respiratory resistance and at a higher frequency (20 Hz) reflects an increased resistance in central airways. This study was set out to evaluate the accuracy of IOS and compare IOS measurements with body plethysmographic airway resistance (Raw) and spirometric values in the diagnosis of central airway obstruction (CAO).
Thirty-two patients with CAO as confirmed by a bronchoscopy or a dynamic computed tomography of the chest and 18 healthy subjects underwent consecutive IOS measurements of Rrs at frequencies of 5 and 20 Hz (Rrs5, Rrs20, respectively), body plethysmographic Raw, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF). Receiver operating curve was established to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy, and likelihood ratio (LR) of IOS in identifying CAO.
Nineteen of 32 patients (60%) had tracheobronchostenosis from previous tuberculosis infection. Two of these 19 patients had concurrent tracheobronchomalacia. Ten patients (31%) had endobronchial obstruction from tumor. Three patients (9%) had tracheobronchomalacia. An Rrs20 greater than the upper limit of normal (ULN) was interpreted as having CAO with the sensitivity of 69%; specificity of 94%; PPV of 96%; NPV of 63%; accuracy of 78%, and LR of 12.4. Significant correlations were found between Rrs5 and percentage of predicted FEV1 (FEV1%, r = −0.61), percentage of predicted PEF (PEF%, r = −0.75), specific Raw (sRaw, r = 0.64), and specific conductance (sGaw, r = −0.64). Rrs20 was not related to any of these measurements except for PEF% (r = −0.4).
Airway obstruction is indicated when Rrs5 increases. Increased Rrs20 measured by IOS suggests an obstruction in the central airways in various diseases.
IOS is helpful in providing an additional means to conventional methods such as body plethysmography, spirometry and flow-volume loop in assessing airflow obstruction.

Aux Transmission Cooler make engine run hotter?
I installed a transmission auxiliary cooler on my rig, I do towing on a regular basis, now I see my engine run a little over the 210 deg mark loaded with the A/C on. I installed the TAC between the front grilll and the radiator. Is it normal for the engine to run hotter? Anybody else out there experienced the same effect? Is there an alternate installation location I should look in to? Please help. Thank you.
1 Attachment(s)
My aux transmission cooler was in front of the grill and the engine ran no hotter. Just over the 210 mark on a hot day like you're having now in Tucson is perfectly normal, heck our engines are supposed to run at 210 on even cool/cold days.
Here's a pic of how my '97 was configured with its aux transmission cooler purchased from Currie.
Perform the smoke test to see if air is getting drawn through the cooler. Get a napkin and light it on fire and hold it in front of it and see where the smoke goes.
Jerry, how did you rig up that aux cooler? did you daisy chain the collant lines?

Three men involved in an elaborate confidence trick in which a Christian philanthropist lost £12 million have been jailed.
The scam convinced businessman Graham Dacre to part with a slice of his fortune, promising huge profits from a high-yield investment fund, Norwich Crown Court heard.
A German church also lost 7 million euro (£5.6 million) in a linked fraud.
None of the money has been recovered.
Sentencing the men, Judge Nicholas Coleman said: "This was essentially a giant confidence trick which netted enormous sums of money. This was a calculated and audacious fraud."
Mr Dacre was persuaded to handover £11.9 million, hoping to use the profits to fund charitable schemes. But once he had transferred the funds to an offshore account, the money disappeared, prosecutor Mark Fenhalls told the trial.
The men constructed an air of "respectability and Christian charity" to win their victims over, he said.
Following a three-month trial and more than the week of jury deliberations, Alan Hunt 65, of The Avenue in Poole, Dorset, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud Mr Dacre and the New Apostolic Church in Dortmund.
He was cleared of one charge of money laundering.
John Dodd, mitigating on his behalf, said Hunt was the "public face" of the scheme but not a "criminal mastermind".
Arthur Ford-Batey, 62, of Miles McInnes Court, Carlisle, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud Mr Dacre. He was cleared of defrauding the Dortmund church and laundering money.
His barrister, Adrian Keeling, said he was only aware of the fraud at a late stage and played no part in "constructing" it.
Ian Yorkshire, 62, of Clarendon Villas, Brighton, was found guilty of conspiracy to launder criminal property relating to the two frauds. He was cleared of one count of fraud.
Harry Bentley, mitigating, said Yorkshire has terminal cancer.
He said: "He, in effect, was simply allowing the money to flow through his account."
The judge ordered that Hunt serve a total of nine years, Ford-Batey must serve six years and Yorkshire 11 years.
David "Fraser" Robert, 62, of Montpelier Road, Brighton, and Kevin Brennan, 55, of Kirkburn, Driffield, were cleared of fraud and money-laundering charges.
Brennan's brother, Martin, 40, of Bracken Road, Stockton-on-Tees, was found not guilty of laundering Mr Dacre's money.
The men told the court they believed they were involved in a legitimate enterprise and were not aware of any wrongdoing by the scheme's financial controller who was not involved in this trial.
Outside court, Mr Dacre said: "My wife and I are relieved this long-running case is now finally over. We are grateful to Norfolk Police, the Crown Prosecution Service and all those who have supported us over many months.
"Of course, I would like to get some of the money back but only time will tell."
Frank Schuldt, from the Dortmund church, said members of the congregation donated money for projects to help elderly people and for foreign aid.
He said: "They have been very upset by this."

See what one of my acupuncture patients had to say. They were happy with me to share this letter.
"Dear Martine Vegoda,
On the 10th March 2011, I made with great difficulty and considerable pain, the 200 yard journey from my flat to your consulting room. I felt even older than my nearly 78 years. I was suffering severe back pain and shooting pain down my legs. I knew from the X-rays and MRI scan that my back was in a poor way. It seemed I would spend the rest of my life on pain killers and my energetic life style would have to change.
Today I am able once again to enjoy long walks and going to the gym pain free and with full mobility. In addition my wife says not only has my energy been markedly enhanced but my moods are lighter.
I attribute all these changes to your skill not only as an acupuncturist but also to your professional and empathetic presentation. I look forward to my visits, to your inviting and warm consulting room, both for the physical benefits I know I gain but also for the opportunity to relax in a nurturing atmosphere. As a psychotherapist I am very aware it is what the therapist gives of him/herself which is the most important factor in a treatment. I have a sense it is the same in your work and I feel you give so much when you are treating me. Thank you for markedly improving my happiness.
I am aware you are limited to how you are able to present your work but I would like you to use this letter in any way that will help others to be more aware of how acupuncture may help them.
Best wishes
Yours sincerely,
Ralph (CBE), Psychotherapist - London"
And here is a testimonial from one of my reflexology patients:
I started coming for reflexology in august as a way of de-stressing from a very demanding and hectic life style. I can honestly say that it is the one day of the week that I look forward to the most for some one on one time, peace, quiet and pampering. As soon as my treatment begins I literally feel my tension and stress ease away. My whole body starts to relax even though it is only my feet being worked on. I have certainly noticed the benefits and will continue to treat myself to this wonderful therapy.
Rose, Nurse - London

The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, OH
PURPOSE: Studies conducted prior to the widespread use of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART) demonstrated an increased risk for the development of chronic respiratory symptoms among HIV-seropositive individuals. Since HAART has dramatically decreased HIV-related pulmonary complications and has likely decreased chronic inflammatory changes in the lung, it is possible that the prevalence of respiratory symptoms among HIV-seropositive individuals has decreased in the HAART era. The purpose of the present study is to compare the prevalence of respiratory symptoms among HIV-seropositive subjects in the pre- and post-HAART eras.
METHODS: 168 HIV-seropositive individuals were prospectively studied (3/2006-3/2007) with a modified American Thoracic Society Division of Lung Diseases respiratory questionnaire. Data were compared to results obtained from an HIV-seropositive cohort (n = 326) studied predominantly in the pre-HAART era (1993-1998). The prevalence of respiratory symptoms including cough, wheeze, dyspnea, and phlegm production were compared between the two groups. Additionally, clinical factors including CD4 count, age, sex, body mass index, intravenous drug use and smoking history were examined to determine any correlation with respiratory symptoms.
RESULTS: The mean (±SE) age (43.6 ± 3.4 vs 34.7 ± 0.4), pack year smoking history (19.1 ± 1.6 vs. 12.2 ± 0.9) and CD4 count (475.3 ± 22.7 vs 370.7 ± 14.7) of the current cohort were all greater than that of the pre-HAART cohort. The prevalence of all respiratory symptoms was much higher in the current cohort than the original one: chronic cough –57.7% vs. 24.8%; p < 0.001; chronic phlegm –40.4% vs. 26.2%; p < 0.015; wheeze –48.7% vs. 18.4%; p < 0.001; dyspnea –38.2% vs. 19.4%; p < 0.001). Pack year smoking history was the only variable consistently associated with respiratory symptoms in the current cohort.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of respiratory symptoms among HIV-seropositive individuals has dramatically increased in the HAART era. This is likely due to the aging of the population and the cumulative effects of cigarette smoke.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Increased efforts are needed to promote smoking cessation in this population.

Slovenian band plays Pyongyang to provoke those outside North Korea
By Marja Novak
LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - A Slovenian avant-garde rock band that plans to be the first western pop act to perform in North Korea said it aimed to provoke debate beyond the isolated country's borders.
Laibach, whose name is the German for the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, formed in communist Yugoslavia in 1980 and is one of the country's best known bands.
Their pop videos and live performances often use images or costumes that invoke totalitarianism, but that was a word band member Ivan Novak did not want to specifically apply to North Korea.
"It is silly to talk about totalitarianism. You can't escape totalitarianism. We see it everywhere ... it exists in all possible systems and forms," he told Reuters.
"Look what is happening to Greece right now. Europe has proved that it is absolutely totalitarian. There is totalitarianism of market ... of capital."
The four-piece band, whose music features loud percussion, pounding march-like rhythms and roaring vocals, will hold two concerts in Pyongyang in August. Initially they were to play to a total of 2,000 people, but the venue was changed for a somewhere bigger due to demand, the band said.
"We are not interested in supporting the regime. Also, we are not going there to provoke the North Korean authorities, we are actually going there more to provoke everybody outside North Korea," Novak said.
Laibach supported the unification of Korea, Novak said, calling North and South "part of the same family". Continued...
