Our excellent neighbor, th** Enterprise, with unnecessary acerbity in the discussion cif such a proper subject of public inquiry, defends County Superintendent Haugen in his negligence in the matter of visiting schools, and says that to visit seventeen in twenty days is doing well. At that rate, there being 119 school districts, and schools being in session only part of the year, how many schools and how often would he visit them in a year? A superintendent is expected to visit every term in each district at least once. and this heretofore has been done except in rare cases of blizzards or impassible roads. At the rate Mr. Haugen hasbeen visiting them he will fail to make half the visits required. lint Mr. Haugen i should not lye condemned as yet for this. He may do better iii the : future and should br* given a fair op- i port unity in this respect to show the J mettle that is in him. It is his failure I to participate in the work of the teach- j irs association that the Bt a NOA RD Chiefly criticizes. The law does not require him to do so, it is true; but in all | other counties superintendents are the organizers, the promoters, the leaders, and tile teachers at the associations. Ile thus mel ts all the teachers, and has the best of all opportunities to become acquainted with them, to instruct, to criticize, correct, and improve them and j their work if he is capable of doing it. j And in the case of Mr. Haugen he him-1 sHi needs the benefits to be obtained at the meetings. It is a lamentable j fact that there are but few of all the teachers in the county that need tile advantages of the association more than does he. It is almost pitiful that I his failings should be shown ti* the people of the county, but the issue of his competency having been so rai>ed, we deem it a duty to give some evidence which is unimpeachable and which is of a character that speaks for itself. In the matter of the change in a school district, Mr. Haugen recently filed a document with the county auditor, in his own handwriting, of which the following is an exact copy; Albert Lea Minn. Feb. * 1889. I iii,a it im possible to approve or your petition In the form it now iv precented, av It Lea vs dlst. No to to small for avell supporting district But lf you can make a change aud take In a little more of 4g and si it shoi'ld mkt my approval V ours O. K. Ha co KH. In this very brief document, there are altogether in punctuation, grammar, construction and spelling, thirteen errors. This is all. The document is part of the public records, and any person has a right to inspect it. Why They Failed. I John Wannamaker, the great 1'liila-I deiphia merchant, who made his start | and has built up his immense business by advertising, says: "I spend $5,000 j a week iii advertising, and pay a skill-I ful man a former newspaper editor, arid a good one 91,dor) a month to do J it for me. I make money by it. Ad* I venialng is Hic leverage with which I this store has been raised up, I do not see how any large aud successful re* 1 tall business can bedene without liberal advertising. Continuous advertising, like continuous work, is the most effective." And yet there are some business men who think it only necessary to advertise during the holidays, or during "good times;" others seem to think to advertise is simply a favor to the local paper, and yet other* refuse to advertise altogether, or but very little. Two of the hest business locations in Albert Lea, stores in the center of trade, have each bren occupied by half a dozen firms during the past few years, and each firm either failed and went into bankruptcy, or retired from business from lack of patronage. They were stingy in the use of Hie advertising columns of the local papers; they attempted to do business without letting the public know of it. Each of the firms carried good stocks and might have succeeded beyond a doubt, if they had been enterprising and f reely ach er- I tised. There is not the least possible doubt about this, and yet the lessons of these failures will not be heeded bv those that ought to heed them most.

Stillwater Democrat, There can no longer be any question about the existence of natural gas at Stillwater, or that the company now operating in search of the article have discovered it. Any skeptic can be convinced by an ocular demonstration who takes the trouble to visit the derrick house. While awaiting the arrival of the new' cable with which to continue the operation of drilling, the well has been temporarily plugged and a small pipe with a common gas burner attached inside. Enough of the fluid soon collects to ignite when a lighted match is applied and will continue burning for several minutes. The quantity of the flow is but slight and if no stronger source of supply is found it will never be of any practical use, but in demonstrates the existence of the article and gives the projectors courage to continue their investigation.

WILLIAMSON –Pauline Sturgill, Executive Director of the Williamson Housing Authority, has issued a statement regarding allegations of potential health risks at the Goodman Manor made by resident Kenny Evans.
Prior to publishing allegations made by Evans, which have been detailed in the article above, the Williamson Daily News requested additional information from the Williamson Housing Authority (WHA) in an effort to preserve objectivity and present both sides of the issue.
In an email, Sturgill states, "Let me first state for the record, Mr. Evans has not reported finding any mold at Goodman Manor to me, nor to my maintenance staff. Mr. Evan's is a longtime public housing resident and has contacted the Authority on numerous occasions when he has had a maintenance issue or a complaint. Mr. Evans knows that he has only to call or stop by our office to inform us of his findings and we would have responded immediately. I don't understand why Mr. Evans would attend a City Council meeting or visit the newspaper repeatedly, without first speaking to me or my Director of Operations, Ted Hatfield. The Authority takes health and safety concerns very seriously. The wellbeing of our residents is of utmost importance to us.
On September 26, 2016, Brett Vance visited the Williamson Housing Authority unannounced; to discuss a resident complaint he had received. Mr. Hatfield, WHA Director of Operations, and Sherri Murphy, the Authority's Finance Officer, joined us for the impromptu meeting. Mr. Vance started the meeting by stating that approximately three weeks earlier; he had conducted an inspection of the eighth and ninth floor of Goodman Manor, at the urging of a resident who complained of finding mold. Mr. Vance apologized three times for coming to me about the resident's complaint, stating he was under pressure from the resident to do so. (The Authority was not informed by Mr. Vance that he would be inspecting the building prior to his inspection, nor afterwards.)
I explained to Mr. Vance, just as I am explaining to you, that no complaint had been made to the Authority about mold so he was catching me unaware of the situation. I asked Mr. Vance where to locate the mold, but he refused to tell me, explaining he could not give away the name of the resident who was complaining. Mr. Vance stated to Mr. Hatfield, Ms. Murphy and myself that he had no authority to be in Goodman Manor to inspect for mold and wasn't sure that what he found was mold, but that he wanted us to be aware of the complaint. Mr. Vance indicated by his remarks that he had conducted no formal testing for mold.
I asked Mr. Vance again to inform me where to find the mold and he again refused. He did show me photos that he had taken of a door, with his phone, but they did not provide enough information for me to determine anything other than I was looking at a door. At no time during our meeting did Mr. Vance mention finding 'black mold'.
Regardless, I took Mr. Vance's visit very seriously and requested Mr. Hatfield conduct his own inspection of all 102 units and their doors. Two days later, Mr. Hatfield reported that he had examined every door casing in the building and could find no mold. As no tenant had yet come forward to provide us with any insight into the matter, and Mr. Vance refused to tell me where to look or who to seek guidance from, we were at a loss on how to proceed.
I conducted my own inspection a few days later, randomly inspecting two door casings on the eighth floor. What I found in the corner of a door casing was sticky grime, resulting from years of grease and dirt build up. I took photos of the grime and shared them with Mr. Hatfield. He scheduled all door casings to be washed this winter, as part of our winter routine maintenance schedule.
Eight days after Mr. Vance's visit, on October 4, 2016, I was contacted by HUD. It was reported to me that a Goodman Manor resident had written Congressman Jenkins to complain of mold and asbestos in Goodman Manor. Mr. Jenkins forwarded the resident's letters to the HUD Baltimore office. Julia Borders, Public Housing Revitalization Specialist, upon receiving a copy of the letters, reached out to me to conduct her own investigation into the complaint. I was told by Ms. Borders that a letter from Mr. Davis to a Goodman Manor resident was included with the complaint to Mr. Jenkins. I was not aware until this moment that Mr. Vance had produced a letter. I did not and have never received a copy of Mr. Vance's letter.
I explained the same thing to Ms. Borders that I am explaining to you. No Goodman Manor resident has come forward with a complaint of mold. I informed Ms. Borders that my staff had conducted inspections following Mr. Davis' visit, but had not been able to locate mold in the building. I asked Ms. Borders to inform me who sent the letter so that I could follow up with the resident, ideally locating and addressing the mold issue. Ms. Borders refused, due to confidentiality issues. Therefore, I was again left in the dark as where the mold is supposedly located or whom I might contact to learn more. I did email Ms. Borders copies of the photographs I took of the grime I found on the door casings and explained our intent to wash all doors this winter.
As for the complaint of asbestos, copies of the air quality tests conducted during the recent abatement were sent to Ms. Borders. Ms. Borders determined that the Williamson Housing Authority had done everything in its power to address the mold situation and had done so professionally and in a timely manner. Ms. Borders wrote Mr. Jenkins informing him that she had researched the matter and that no action needed to be taken at this time, in regards to the management or upkeep of the building.
After speaking with Ms. Borders, I contacted Keith Blankenship, the Executive Director of the Mingo County Health Department, explaining my predicament. I requested a copy of Mr. Vance' letter as it was being circulated in Mr. Jenkins office and the HUD office. I explained that I had not received a copy of the letter and felt at a disadvantage addressing HUD about the complaint. Mr. Blankenship stated that Mr. Vance was not in the office that day, but that he would return my call on Monday. On Monday, Mr. Vance did return my call. At that time, I explained to Mr. Vance that his letter to the Goodman Manor resident had been forwarded to Congressman Jenkins, and that I would like a copy for my records. Mr. Vance flatly refused to share his letter with me, informing me that if I wanted a copy of the letter I would have to ask Mr. Jenkins for it personally.
Goodman Manor is a nine story building that maintains 102 residences, four store front locations, and a community room, kitchen and pantry. We have a full time custodian who is on each floor daily, cleaning and maintaining the building. In addition, my maintenance staff addresses every emergency work order that comes in, immediately. Mold is, and always has been, considered an emergency. We do occasionally receive complaints from other projects about mold and Ted Hatfield personally visits those units to address and correct any findings.
At this point in time, the WHA Board of Commissioners and I believe we have satisfied all requests for information. The City Council reviewed, after Mr. Vance's visit, what steps the Authority took upon verbal notification from the MCHD and HUD and believe our actions were proper. Until or unless Mr. Evans or someone else steps forward to inform us where exactly we can locate the mold, we are left to continue fumbling in the dark.
Mr. Evan has a long history of being a disgruntled, unhappy man, who repeatedly attempts to make our jobs at the Authority more difficult. Mr. Evan's likes to post negative videos about the Authority on Facebook, recruit new residents to engage in negative behavior towards staff, and has attempted on more than one occasion to sue the Authority. We find this latest attack to be just another effort on his part to play hide and seek with the truth."

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 52 reviews
A charming hotel in a quiet street in the heart of Venice. Very helpful staff and an excellent breakfast. Only negative is that the elevator was very small and querky and did not reach the top floor. But that was a very minor issue for us .
The hotel staff was pleasant and helpful, and the location in the middle of Venice was great.
The family who owns Hotel Al Piave were so nice and helpful. We will definitely recommend this hotel to friends. We had a very clean and cozy room with a lovely sun terrace we could enjoy. The breakfast was very substantial.
Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Good breakfast selection. Close to San Marcos square. Only one bridge to cross from the water bus at Zacarius ( sp?) - nice if you have a rolling suitcase to carry up the steps over the bridge.
The hotel was very close to the Piazza San Marco. The staff was very polite, professional, and helpful. The breakfast was very good. There was also a laundromat about 3 doors down, which was very convenient.

Artist Olin Travis was the first native Dallasite to receive training at the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, going on to paint landscapes and portraits that landed in the permanent collections of Austin's Elisabet Ney Museum and the Dallas Museum of Art and drew him comparisons to artists like Winslow Homer. (He was also a distant relative of William Barret Travis, making him at least twice as Texan as most of you.) Olin Travis: People, Places and Visions collects some 40 years of his work in a comprehensive exhibit featuring paintings created between 1915 and 1955 along with an essay by his granddaughter, Susan L. Travis. Catch it now through March 28 at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, 3120 McKinney Ave. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. An exhibit by contemporary photographer Angilee Wilkerson runs concurrently in the New Works Space. Call 214-953-1212 or visit the-mac.org for more info.

Understanding and Implementation of Hydrogen Passivation of Defects in String Ribbon Silicon for High-Efficiency, Manufacturable, Silicon Solar Cells
Yelundur, Vijay Nag
MetadataShow full item record
Photovoltaics offers a unique solution to energy and environmental problems simultaneously. However, widespread application of photovoltaics will not be realized until costs are reduced by about a factor of four without sacrificing performance. Silicon crystallization and wafering account for about 55% of the photovoltaic module manufacturing cost, but can be reduced significantly if a ribbon silicon material, such as String Ribbon Si, is used as an alternative to cast Si. However, the growth of String Ribbon leads to a high density of electrically active bulk defects that limit the minority carrier lifetime and solar cell performance. The research tasks of this thesis focus on the understanding, development, and implementation of defect passivation techniques to increase the bulk carrier lifetime in String Ribbon Si in order to enhance solar cell efficiency. Hydrogen passivation of defects in Si can be performed during solar cell processing by utilizing the hydrogen available during plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of SiNx:H films. It is shown in this thesis that hydrogen passivation of defects during the simultaneous anneal of a screen-printed Al layer on the back and a PECVD SiNx:H film increases the bulk lifetime in String Ribbon by more than 30 ?A three step physical model is proposed to explain the hydrogen defect passivation. Appropriate implementation of the Al-enhanced defect passivation treatment leads to String Ribbon solar cell efficiencies as high as 14.7%. Further enhancement of bulk lifetime up to 92 ?s achieved through in-situ NH3 plasma pretreatment and low-frequency (LF) plasma excitation during SiNx:H deposition followed by a rapid thermal anneal (RTA). Development of an optimized two-step RTA firing cycle for hydrogen passivation, the formation of an Al-doped back surface field, and screen-printed contact firing results in solar cell efficiencies as high as 15.6%. In the final task of this thesis, a rapid thermal treatment performed in a conveyer belt furnace is developed to achieve a peak efficiency of 15.9% with a bulk lifetime of 140 ?Simulations of further solar cell efficiency enhancement up to 17-18% are presented to provide guidance for future research.

The proposed implementation of Solvency II equivalence will force Bermudian insurers to be far more proactive in terms of how they analyse and forecast their investments, say John Townley and Matthew Hutchinson.
As Bermudian insurers prepare for the implementation of new regulations based on the proposed European Solvency II framework, it is timely to consider the implications for the asset side of the balance sheet. While most insurers have sophisticated models with which to analyse and forecast their liabilities, such rigour has rarely been applied to insurers' assets until the introduction of the Bermuda risk-based capital regime (Bermuda Solvency Capital Ratio—BSCR) in 2007-8.
The Solvency II rules will require an equally diligent assessment of assets as well as liabilities and require an in-depth understanding of the risks in the asset portfolio both now and projected into the future—something that goes beyond the BSCR requirements.
Looking back at the success or failure of relative investment strategies is not generally a great predictor of future risk and returns and to do so independently of liabilities is likely to be misleading. There are, however, clear indications that Bermuda's insurers will face some genuine challenges under Solvency II equivalence, and failure to understand the risks associated with historic returns and an inability to forecast future asset risk effectively could lead to a competitive disadvantage.

Three Bay Area residents were part of the Jewish National Fund's recent L'Chaim Solidarity Mission to Israel.
The five-day trip in late July was meant to show support for Israel during Operation Protective Edge. The mission included a meeting with Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, a visit with soldiers near the Gaza border, and stops in Sderot and Beersheva.
Participants also visited students at Alexander Muss High School, a pluralistic, non-denominational school where students from the United States can spend a year abroad. The school is a JNF partner.
"It was a remarkable trip," said David Arfin of Palo Alto after returning home. "It was all very quickly organized and everyone involved had to drop everything to go."
Dayna Titus of Pleasanton, Aaron Needel of Walnut Creek and Arfin were part of a 50-person delegation from around the United States. The trip was open to all JNF donors.
"We wanted to show it's still safe to be in Israel and show our support," said Karin Ventura, marketing and communications associate at the JNF office in San Francisco. "The participants were able to actually experience what it was like instead of witnessing it on TV." — abra cohen

Win a screening pass for you and a guest to see DARK SHADOWS in Kansas City!
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets.
To win passes answer any five of the following ten questions on the form related to the TV series Dark Shadows and the film versions director Tim Burton. Those that answer their selected questions correctly will be entered to win a pass for the screening!
1. In the TV series Barnabas was not referred to as a vampire until which episode?
2. This actor holds the record for playing the most characters in the series. Who is the actor?

The British newspaper The Guardian carried this weekend a highly disturbing front page story revealing that the British government's 'Prevent' program – which is meant to be aimed at halting Muslims from being lured into the world of violent extremism – is actually being used to gather intelligence on innocent people who are not themselves suspected of involvement in terrorism.
According to documents checked by The Guardian the information being gathered by the UK authorities includes political and religious views, information on mental health, sexual activity and associates, and other sensitive information
As The Guardian's editorial observes regarding the collection of this data:
"It hardly needs saying that it would be incredibly dangerous if innocent Muslims were to come to believe that [divide and rule] tricks were now being deployed against them, whether through the recruitment of agents or overt spying operations. Yet when, as we report, the authorities are actively seeking information on sexual activities, this must surely be a risk. What use could such data have apart from blackmail? How is news of its collection to be explained, other than in terms of a desire to dominate?" (1)
Biggest Spying ProgramShami Chakrabarti of Liberty, the human rights organization, responded to The Guardian's revelations by voicing outrage that the government appeared to be engaged in:
"…the biggest domestic spying programme targeting the thoughts and beliefs of the innocent in Britain in modern times. It is information-gathering directed at the innocent and the spying is directed at people because of their religion, and not because of their behaviour." (2)
The UK government's Prevent agenda was first set up three years ago in the aftermath of the 7/7 bombings in London. Many had been expecting an Al-Qaeda-inspired attack in the UK especially after the UK government actively participated in the invasion of Iraq. However, it had been widely assumed that a terrorist attack would be carried out by foreign nationals. The fact that the 7/7 bombings were perpetrated by four British born Muslims came largely as a shock to the government, the security services and the UK's two million strong Muslim community.
Faced now with a serious domestic terror threat – and there have been a number of successful convictions since 7/7 of UK Muslims for terror-related offences – it was inevitable that the government would seek to devote resources to countering this threat.
In normal circumstances you would have expected British Muslims to wholeheartedly rally behind the stated goals of the Prevent agenda, i.e., to reduce the risk of terrorism and to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting violent extremism.
In practice, however, under the guise of the Prevent program, ministers at the communities and local department (CLG), including Ruth Kelly and her successor Hazel Blears, attempted to engage in a rather ambitious bit of social engineering and began promoting and funding outfits which had little or no support among UK Muslims, including the Sufi Muslim Council and the Quilliam Foundation, while trying to marginalize far larger and more representative bodies such as the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB). Oddly enough, the views of the government and these new outfits concerning the "war on terror" were largely indistinguishable.
The result, of course, was entirely predictable. The "Prevent" agenda – one of the four strands in the government's overall CONTEST strategy, the others being "pursue," "protect," and "prepare" – quickly lost the trust of UK Muslims and became widely discredited and ridiculed as the "provoke" agenda.
At an `Eid reception for British Muslims earlier this week, the Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, sought to quell concerns about the Prevent agenda saying:
"I know that there have been some ill-informed criticism of our Prevent strategy recently– that it's simply about intelligence gathering, or that its only objective is to stigmatise the Muslim community. This is nonsense – we would make no headway at all in tackling violent extremism if it were true. "Prevent" is about empowering British Muslims to be at the forefront in challenging and undermining those who seek to distort Islam in order to justify terrorism."
It is worth remarking that nobody has seriously claimed that "Prevent" is 'simply about intelligence gathering' – the concerns are far more widespread than that.
The 'Islamist' Smear
According to The Guardian, the Quilliam Foundation has received £700,000 in Home Office Prevent funding to date. It is an eye-opening figure given that the Quilliam Foundation was only established in April 2008 by two former Hizb ut-Tahrir activists Ed Husain and Maajid Nawaz.The Quilliam Foundation has earned notoriety among UK Muslims by consistently being seen to smear and attempting to undermine leading Islamic figures and mainstream organizations by labeling them as 'Islamists'.
And also adding to British Muslim concerns, the Quilliam Foundation has gained the vocal support of a whole gallery of influential neo-conservatives and Zionists including Nick Cohen, Michael Gove, Charles Moore, and Martin Bright. Indeed, the latter, Martin Bright, was the author of a notorious article whose title referred to the holy Qur'an as a 'great con trick'.
So, it will come as no surprise to many British Muslims that the one person The Guardian managed to find who was willing to support the government's spying on innocent Muslims was Quilliam's Ed Husain whom it appears freely admitted that Prevent was:
"…gathering intelligence on people not committing terrorist offences."(2)
To his credit, John Denham, the new Secretary of State at the Communities and Local Government department, indicated two months ago that he wanted to see a policy shift away from defining the government's relationship with Muslim communities solely in terms of tackling extremism while also developing a more explicit strategy to resist white racist extremism. Denham is well-regarded in UK Muslim communities and he was one of the very few ministers who resigned from their positions in the government in 2003 as a protest against the decision to support the Iraq war.
In view of the deeply troubling revelations in The Guardian, it would appear natural for British Muslims to want to shun those involved in the Prevent agenda. That would be a tragic mistake. It should be self-evident to all that Britain needs to have an effective and successful Prevent strategy in place to safeguard all our communities. 7/7 showed that the terror threat is not an illusion. British Muslims who have made the UK their home and are bringing up their children there have an obvious stake in ensuring that the country is protected against the evil scourge of terrorism.
|Inayat Bunglawala is the Chair of Muslims4UK, a group set up to celebrate the UK's democratic traditions and promote active Muslim engagement in British society. He is also a spokesperson at the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB). He writes a regular blog column for the Guardian's popular Comment is Free. Bunglawala has been active in UK Islamic organizations since he joined The Young Muslims UK in 1987. He has written pieces about Islam and current affairs over the past few years for The Times, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Daily Express, The Observer, and The Sun. In August 2005, he was appointed by the Home Office as the Convener of a working group on Tackling Extremism.

Introduction: Hypertension is common in
patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the effect of OSA
on ventricular function, especially diastolic function, is not clear.
Therefore, we have assessed the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in
patients with OSA and the relationship between diastolic parameters and
severity of OSA.
Methods: Sixty-eight consecutive
patients with OSA confirmed by polysomnography underwent
echocardiography. Diastolic function of the left ventricle was
determined by transmitral valve pulse-wave Doppler
echocardiography. Various baseline characteristics, severity of OSA,
and echocardiographic parameters were compared between patients with
and without diastolic dysfunction.
Results: There were
61 male and 7 female patients with a mean age of 48.1 ± 11.1 years,
body mass index of 28.5 ± 4.3 kg/m2, and apnea/hypopnea
index (AHI) of 44.3 ± 23.2/h (mean ± SD). An abnormal relaxation
pattern (ARP) in diastole was noted in 25 patients (36.8%). Older age
(52.7 ± 8.9 years vs 45.1 ± 11.3 years, p = 0.005),
hypertension (56% vs 20%, p = 0.002), and a lower minimum
pulse oximetric saturation (Spo2) during
sleep (70.5 ± 17.9% vs 78.8 ± 12.9%, respectively; p = 0.049)
were more common in patients with ARP. By multivariate analysis,
minimum Spo2 < 70% was an independent
predictor of ARP (odds ratio, 4.34; 95% confidence interval, 1.23 to
15.25; p = 0.02) irrespective of age and hypertension. Patients with
AHI ≥ 40/h had significantly longer isovolumic relaxation times than
those with AHI < 40/h (106 ± 19 ms vs 93 ± 17 ms, respectively;
p = 0.005).
Conclusion: Diastolic dysfunction with
ARP was common in patients with OSA. More severe sleep apnea was
associated with a higher degree of left ventricular diastolic
dysfunction in this study.

will i become a mature person and get another jobMature
The redhead seated across from the distraught young man laughed as she sipped her latte, "Trevor, you are so full of shit!"
Trevor sighed and rolled his eyes, then picked at a piece of orange chocolate biscotti from his friend's plate, "Gosh Carolyn, thank you SO much for your empathy! Your concern for the seriousness of my dreams has been duly noted."
"Trev, times are tough. I think your unemployment has just gotten too stressful for you to deal with, and the stress has crossed over into your sleep cycle."
Trevor removed the biscotti crumbs from his lips with the back of his sleeve, "Doctor Phil with another astute observation."
"Look, I have faith in you Trevor. You are talented and have a strong work history. You'll find a job as long as you stay positive."
Trevor chuckled, "Yeah, I'm POSITIVE I'm screwed."
Carolyn tossed a bit of biscotti off Trevor's nose and admonished, "Attitude!"
"Can I use you as a reference then?" Trevor smiled. Carolyn had always been his biggest supporter. He knew how lucky he was to have her in his life, but sometimes it seemed as if she didn't completely get him.
"Why couldn't I be a bank robber?" Trevor asked.
"Um, cuz it's illegal?"
"Well, yeah, sure. Obviously. But beyond that. I'm smart. I could totally devise some big heist and make a fortune in ill-gotten goods."
"I don't know, Trev. You're not exactly 'Criminal Mastermind' material."
"Why not?"
She giggled, "Cuz you said 'ill-gotten' for one thing. The only criminal masterminds who say 'ill-gotten' reside in 50's era pulp comics."
"And another reason?"
All kidding slipped from her face and Carolyn rested on her elbows and leaned across the table. In a grave tone she said, "Because you are not a loser, Trevor. The only people who commit crimes are desperate losers with nothing going for them. You are not desperate, you are not a loser, and you have a lot going for you. And if you really are half as smart as you say, you would stay far away from criminal activities."
"Okay, okay. Jesus. I was just thinking out loud."
She leaned back in her wrought iron cafe stool and nibbled on the remains of her biscotti while she glared at him from beneath her scowling eyebrows. He on the other hand, looked at anything but her -- the waitress busing her own table, the meandering traffic that eased along the roadside cafe at which Trevor and Carolyn sat, the impatient dude at the crosswalk.
Finally, she asked, "Why, has someone approached you about doing something illegal?"

17. Indigestion and Nausea
Are you a frequent sufferer of indigestion and nausea? This could be a symptom of cancer, especially of the esophagus and stomach.
A single case of indigestion is not anything to panic over. But a doctor should check you out if indigestion and nausea occurs frequently, it occurs suddenly, or if it's especially painful, and you are over the age of 55. Even if it isn't cancer it could be still be a sign of something else that is serious and needs to be looked at, like an ulcer.
