Gold shimmers, but doesn't linger... Screen Talk with Gareth Jamieson
By Gareth Jamieson in Entertainment
The McCon-naisance was a phenomenon concerning Matthew McConaughey, who, after paddling in the shallow waters of awful romantic comedies, decided to tackle more substantial fare starting with 2011's The Lincoln Lawyer.
From there, McConaughey landed the best reviews of his career, landing an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club, while delivering in films as diverse as Interstellar and The Paperboy.
Yet, it seems to have gone slightly awry for the actor since, with both The Sea of Trees and Free State of Jones being met with lukewarm critical and commercial response.
He'll be hoping to redress the balance in Gold, which sees him play Kenny Wells, a prospector desperate for a lucky break, who teams up geologist Michael Acosta (Edgar Ramirez).
The pair embark on a journey to find gold in the uncharted jungle of Indonesia, but when they strike lucky they discover that their problems are only just beginning...
The world of gold prospecting is an intriguing and murky one – ripe, then, for Hollywood to sink its teeth into, especially given that this story is one that is based on true events.
All told, Gold is a film that is worth panning for, though its preoccupation with surface concerns rather than digging deeper into this world of gigantic money and power means that is doesn't perhaps shine as brightly as you would hope.
Given that he put on 45lbs and made himself balding for the role, Matthew McConaughey throws himself headlong into the role of Kenny Wells, a man who took his father's prosperous company into near collapse before restoring its fortunes through a trip to Indonesia.
While the actor perhaps reverts to type a little too often (for all his ability, McConaughey's laconic drawl is easily, if unfairly, lampooned) it's still a charismatic turn that, while a little too familiar in its rags-to-riches-back-to-rags story, holds your attention.
Wells isn't a bad guy, just one whose inability to maintain success and grasping defeat from the jaws of victory, yet who won't lie down and take it, and McConaughey brings him to life well.
Alongside him, his partner Michael Acosta is also well-realised by the underrated Edgar Ramirez; the straight man to Wells' charismatic showman, Ramirez's turn is cool and level-headed, maintaining his composure while all around him pivots on champagne, private helicopters and more champagne, until a surprise twist throws everything in the air.
They are backed up by small but well-delivered performances from the likes of Bryce Dallas Howard as Kenny's long-time (and, you get the impression, long-suffering) girlfriend, Corey Stoll and Toby Kebbell, who all bring something to the table.
Director Stephen Gaghan is better known for writing Traffic and Syriana (which he also directed), both films that exposed the dark (or darker) underbellies of the world of drugs and oil respectively, making him a good choice to helm a film that tackles the world of prospecting.
While he makes a decent fist of it, he never seems to truly get a handle on the subject matter, never really getting underneath the story, which just tends to hit the right notes at the right times and little more.
Writers John Zinman and Patrick Massett have spent much of their careers writing for episodic television, and in a way it shows here, with the film aping the likes of The Wolf of Wall Street in terms of structure and plotting.
There is a reveal which comes as a welcome curveball, but that aside the pair don't really create a narrative that goes below the surface, with only lip services paid when another gold prospector comes on the scene.
It does take the shine off Gold somewhat, that while the performances are engaging enough, the story doesn't have enough meat (nor depth) to truly satisfy – it's a film that shimmers but one that will likely fade from view post-credits.
VERDICT: A story that demanded more depth yet lacks it, Gold showcases decent turns from its cast but doesn't dig deep enough to find the narrative treasures that lay beneath the surface.
There is a compelling tale to be told, but it's slightly mishandled, leaving the charms of the cast to drag it over the line. Enjoyable.

New Delhi, Oct 30 (ANI): Aiming to improve air connectivity among smaller cities, the Centre on Friday announced draft aviation policy aimed at popularising air travel among the people.
Releasing the Revised Draft National Civil Aviation Policy (NCAP 2015) here, Minister of Civil Aviation P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju urged all stakeholders to participate in the process of firming up the policy by giving their valuable suggestions to the ministry.
He said the Civil Aviation Policy should be a dynamic one that could keep pace with the ever changing demands of the sector.
Minister of State for Civil Aviation and MoS (Independent Charge) Tourism and Culture Mahesh Sharma, however, underscored the importance of bringing air travel within the reach of the common man, and facilitating regional air connectivity within the country.
On the occasion, Civil Aviation Secretary Rajiv Nayan Choubey gave a presentation highlighting the salient features of the draft policy.
As per the new policy, airlines will not be allowed to charge more than Rs. 2,500 for an hour of flight between two small cities.
As per the new draft, as many as 300 airports and air strips in smaller cities will be operationalised, while the expenditure will be borne by the government by setting up a special fund.
To boost the aviation sector, the draft proposes tax incentives to airlines by giving them custom exception on aviation fuel. The policy aims to bring India to third position from the current 10th position in the global aviation sector.
The government has also proposed a slew of tax incentives for airlines and maintenance works in the draft policy, including hike in the FDI in domestic airlines to over 50 percent in open skies policy, which is 49 percent at present. Under open skies policy, overseas airlines can operate unlimited number of flights within and out of India.
The policy proposes to put service tax at "zero" to promote maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in order to develop India as an MRO hub in Asia. It also seeks to revive under-served airstrips and build no-frills airports at a cost of Rs. 50 crore under the Regional Connectivity Scheme. The Draft Policy proposes 2 percent levy on all domestic and overseas tickets for funding the scheme.
The policy proposes separate regulations for helicopters from the first of April, 2016. The Centre will support growth of helicopters for remote area connectivity, intra-city movement, tourism, law enforcement, disaster relief and medical evacuation.
Other policy reforms which have been envisaged are greater de-regulation, transparency and e-governance, aviation education and skill building, and promotion of sustainable aviation practices. The policy is open to comments from the industry and various stakeholders before being finalised. (ANI)

Although meditation can have profound effect on a person's overall health and well being, especially when it comes to decreased stress and anxiety and an improved outlook on life, what most people don't know is that behind the scenes a meditation practice is effective because it changes our brains. In layman's terms, meditation lights up the parts of our brain that would otherwise remain silent and dark.
Taking this same principle, Riddhi Shah pens this recent Huffington Post and compares meditation's impact with the similar effect that an orgasm has on the brain. According to Shah, although mystics and shamans have known for years that meditation and orgasm produces a decrease in self-awareness (and an increases selfless-awareness), science is now proving that the two acts connect a person to something other than the ego.
Spiritual teachers have been on to this for years, but research is now showing that orgasm and meditation create much the same effect in our brains.
According to a recent article in Scientific American, both meditation and orgasm decrease our sense of self-awareness. Bliss, says author Nadia Webb, whether through the experience of meditative contemplation or through the bodily experience of sex, "shares the diminution of self-awareness, alterations in bodily perception and decreased sense of pain." In other words, both experiences lead to a temporary stoppage in the incessant flow of our internal commentary. Even if for only a few minutes, we are able to see ourselves as something other than the ego.
Read more from Shah on the benefits of meditation and orgasm here.

Heading into the 2012 season one of the goals of the Toronto Blue Jays was making sure that pitcher Brandon Morrow was well-grounded.
Not in the mental sense. That's an area the laid-back 27-year-old Californian appears to have well in hand.
What we're talking here is what comes out of his hand and the subsequent action of opposing hitters.
Morrow was making his second start for the Blue Jays on Friday night at Rogers Centre in the first of a three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles.
Through his first five seasons as a major-leaguer Morrow was what you would describe as a fly-ball pitcher. Absurdly so.
Last season, Morrow produced 309 fly-ball outs in his 30 starts, an average of 10.3 an outing. Morrow totalled 181 outs via the ground ball, a 6.03 per-game average.
Morrow's ground ball to fly ball ratio (G/F) worked out to 0.59, the fourth lowest ratio among regular American League starters. It obviously helped Morrow that his rate of 10.19 strikeouts per nine innings was the best of any AL hurler.
A low G/F ratio can signify that a pitcher is often flirting with danger, that he's susceptible to giving up the home run.
In Morrow's case the problem manifested itself by denying him relief from the pitcher's best friend – the double play.
Incredibly, during the 2011 season, Morrow only had one double play turned behind him.
While Morrow would go on to post career highs in wins (11), innings pitched (179 1/3), starts and strikeouts, the Blue Jays felt Morrow would be better served if he could induce more ground-ball outs.
"Anytime he gets guys on base, or he's pitching out of jams, he didn't have that luxury where he could try to rely on the double play," Blue Jays pitching coach Bruce Walton said. "That's huge in the game of baseball when you get that two outs with one ground ball.
"Those pitches are huge and he just didn't really have the knack to do that with the way his stuff's designed."
Walton went to work with Morrow after the season ended and he is hoping the resulting makeover will help the power pitcher produce a few more wins.
The fix sounds relatively simple, just convincing Morrow that he didn't have to throw to his maximum effort each time and mix up his pitches a bit better.
"He's using his breaking ball a lot more," Walton said. "He's using his slider. And he's throwing his change-up a lot more than he has in the past. So I think the differences in speed gets the hitters more out in front and it winds up as more grounders as a result."
The change had the desired affect in Morrow's first start in Cleveland last Saturday where he allowed one hit over seven innings but did not get the decision in a 7-4 Toronto victory in 12 innings. He had 10 ground-ball outs and just eight fly-outs in the game.
And the Blue Jays turned a double play for him while he was on the mound, equalling his 2011 total in his first outing.
Through seven innings of work, he had seven ground-ball outs and nine through the air. Morrow also surrendered two home runs.
Morrow wasn't as effective as he was in his first start against Cleveland and the Blue Jays (4-3) bullpen stumbled as the Orioles (4-3) recorded a 7-5 victory before 21,988 fans.
While Kelly Johnson, Colby Rasmus, Yunel Escobar and Edwin Encarnacion all clouted home runs for Toronto, the key hit in the game was delivered by Baltimore's Wilson Betemit in the eighth inning.
Betemit singled with the bases loaded off Toronto reliever Darren Oliver that scored two runs and put the Orioles ahead 6-5.
Nolan Reimold homered for the Orioles in the top of the ninth, one of three they had in the game.
"Kind of an odd game here tonight at the ballpark," Farrell said, noting all the home runs that were struck and a couple of other Baltimore hits that barely cleared the infield but played a role in the Baltimore win.
As for Morrow's performance, Farrell said he thought he pitched decently.
"I thought Brandon elevated a couple of pitches that were squared up," Farrell said. "But I think as the middle innings came along his stuff got more sharp."
The Blue Jays played Friday's game without the services of closer Sergio Santos, who flew home to California to join his wife for the birth of their third child.
Santos, who is expected back in time for Saturday's game, was placed on what's called the paternity list, allowing the Blue Jays to recall left-handed reliever Evan Crawford from Double-A New Hampshire.
Crawford didn't mind that he was, in effect, a paternity replacement thanks to Santos.
"Greatest baby ever," Crawford beamed from the field at Rogers Centre on Friday after arriving in Toronto.Report Typo/Error

Turkmenistan is the freakish bastard child of Uzbekistan and Turkey, both of which are men (as shown in the country name of Turkmenistan). All of the kids at school laugh at it for having two daddies. Turkmenistan should set an example why the prohibition of gay marriage between countries is necessary.
On December 20, 2006 President-for-Life Saparmurat Niyazov died unexpectedly, making him Turkmenistan's President-for-Death.
Niyazov, who gave himself the name Turkmenbashi, or the "Head of All Turkmen" was a ruthless dictator lording over a country full of oil. He never attempted to kill The Greatest President's daddy, however, so invasion was uneccessary.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights during March 2010. The hotel is nothing less than amazing. It is like a botique hotel where each room is unique and has a different theme. The owners thought of every last detail when designing the rooms as there wasn't one little thing I felt I was missing. Each piece of furnitute is unique and antique looking. We had a private terrace overlooking the piazza underneath which was lovely! The beds where comfortable and the room quite which allowed a good night's sleep. The staff - Andrea and Daniella where very nice and very helpfull. If yo come with a car, there is a guarage service that charges by the day. Only downfall is that we had to carry our luggage about 70 steps to reach the hotel - but it was well worth it! If youcome during the season (which start in April and lasts all summer), there is a porter that carries your luggage all the way to the room.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Small and friendly family hotel in the historical centre of Amalfi a touch away from the bus-station, the harbour and the beaches. ... more less

But it is quite different so we should try to > understand the consequences. ok, let's discuss this based on an example :-) Block A requires block B to work correctly: <block id="http://cocoon.apache.org/blocks/A/1.0.0"> <requirements> <requires block="http://cocoon.apache.org/interface/pdf/1.0" name="B"/> </requirements> </block> IIUC this requirement doesn't say explicitly that it requires a specific block but a block that implements the interface http://cocoon.apache.org/blocks/pdf/1.0. Let's assume that block B provides PDF-making functionality: <block id="htp://cocoon.apache.org/blocks/B/1.0.0"> <implements interface="http://cocoon.apache.org/interface/pdf/1.0"/> </block> I think Daniel is right here that there is no reason that we need single-interface implementation. So let's change this to <block id="htp://cocoon.apache.org/blocks/B/1.0.0"> <implements> <interface id="http://cocoon.apache.org/blocks/pdf/1.0"/> </implements> </block> (Note to myself: I have to enhance the deployment desriptor so that it provides information which block _implementation_ should be used for a specific requirement which is "only" an interface.) To make it clearer that a requirement is an interface, we should change the requirements descriptor a bit: <block id="http://cocoon.apache.org/blocks/A/1.0.0"> <requirements> <requires interface="http://cocoon.apache.org/interface/pdf/1.0" default="http://cocoon.apache.org/blocks/pdf/1.0.x"/> name="B" /> </requirements> </block> Note that I added a "default"-attribute to make auto-deployment possible. I changed the cob schema according to the current state of discussion. What we haven't discussed yet is what does an *block interface definition* look like? Is this an explicit definition that desribes all contracts or a very loose marking of a block in its block.xml? Ideas? - o - More difficult is block extending. We have to consider what extension means for several aspects: - services: * components * sitemaps/pipelines * flowscripts - deployment As I grew up with Java I have only used single-inheritance yet. We had a long discussion what inheritance means for flowscripts (e.g. we have to support super() calls) at the beginning of this year. I think we need the same discussion for components and pipelines too. Stefano already gave an example what inheritance could mean for piplines (http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/BlocksIntroduction): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Improvement #3: block inheritance The third step is to allow blocks to extends other blocks. The idea is to be able to wrap a block with another one, creating an 'overloading' mechanism similar to the one used by OOP inheritance where methods are 'fall back' to the extended class if the extending class doesn't implement them. Let us supposed we have the following block (very simple): block "A" implements "skin" /stylesheets/changes2document.xslt /stylesheets/faq2document.xslt /stylesheets/document2html.xslt /resources/logo.gif and let us suppose that we want to change the look and feel of that block. The first two stylesheets provide simply a way to adapt from more specific markup to the Document DTD. So, my block would need to change only the last two resources 'document2html.xslt' and 'logo.gif'. The best solution is to allow my block to explicitly "extend" that block and inherits the resources that it doesn't contain. block "B" extends block "A" /stylesheets/document2html.xslt /resources/logo.gif but then block B still is considered implementing behavior "skin" because the rest is inherited. This mainly: * reduces block development and maintanance costs because changes and bugfixes are directly inherited by all the extending blocks, thus allowing better SoC between the two groups mainaining the different blocks * easy customization: blocks can be adapted for personal specific needs simply with a wrapper around and without the need to repackaging. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure about multiple-block inheritance. For me it's some kind of an anti-pattern but maybe I'm too Java-minded. I don't think that deployment will be the difficult part here. If block A extends block B, the deployment process has to ensure that block B is installed correctly. It's just another dependency that has to be resolved. -- Reinhard Pötz Independent Consultant, Trainer & (IT)-Coach {Software Engineering, Open Source, Web Applications, Apache Cocoon} web(log): http://www.poetz.cc --------------------------------------------------------------------

Yay. I'm the first reviewer! It is an excellent one-shot. I like the very simple plot and how you attached all the events together. It was very lovely. D
The only technical errors were tense issues. You kept switching from present to past tense, and some of the sentence structure was a little choppy (I can point out the specific areas if you want) but...besides that it was a great one-shot. I loved it! I really did. You have wonderful ideas. I wish I was that creative.

Community & Student Engagement Accountability System - CaSE(Local Accountability)In addition to the accountability results based on assessment data, under the requirements of House Bill 5 (83rd Texas Legislature), each Texas school district was required to evaluate each campus and the district on nine measures beginning with the 2013-2014 school year. These measures and the resulting ratings comprise the Community & Student Engagement Accountability System, or Local Accountability. These ratings allow each campus and the district the opportunity to showcase a broader perspective of services and supports available to learners, families, and the community beyond state standardized assessments.Local Accountability - Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy did we develop a local accountability system?House Bill 5, which was enacted by the 83rd Legislature, required each school district to evaluate the district's performance and the performance of each campus in the district in community and student engagement and compliance, and assign the district and each campus a performance rating of exemplary, recognized, acceptable, or unacceptable for both overall performance and each evaluation factor in specific categories of performance. In addition a yes or no rating must be assigned for compliance with statutory reporting and policy requirements.How was the local accountability system developed?As specified by House Bill 5, "a district shall use criteria developed by a local committee." Each district was asked to develop their own system to incorporate ratings in the required categories. With input from Region 10 Education Service Center, TASA, and other districts around the state, we developed a framework of the categories. We then called upon our District Improvement and Planning Committee (DIPC) to serve as that local committee to ensure that our community values were reflected in the indicators identified and developed under the specified categories of performance. The DIPC members were asked to bring community members to serve on the local committee as well. That committee was divided into the eight required categories of performance in order to discuss and recommend indicators to be developed within the framework for each category.How were ratings assigned?Principals used the rubrics developed from the local committee to complete a spreadsheet that specified measures for each identified indicator and allowed principals to enter specific examples of evidence of success on that indicator. Based upon the specified measures for each indicator within a category, principals identified their campus performance as exemplary, recognized, acceptable, or unacceptable. Ratings for each indicator within a category were then averaged for an overall category rating. Finally, ratings for each category were averaged in order to determine an overall campus local accountability rating. District ratings represent the aggregated and averaged ratings of the performance of all campuses in the district.How will the local accountability ratings be reported?The district and campus ratings on all eight performance and the compliance categories will be reported in our regular required summer submission to the Texas Education Agency through the PEIMS data system. In addition, the district and campus ratings as well as the rubrics utilized for each indicator and category will be posted to the Accountability website by August 8, in accordance with statute (TEC 39.0545).

Hello, and welcome back to Tecku Talks! Today, I want to talk about some of the brilliant messaging done by Plants vs. Zombies as an environmental advocate. In my opinion, Plants vs. Zombies is one of the most clever and subtle environmental message creaters out there. What do I mean? Let's talk about it.
Now, the whole premise of the game is not one made to be centered around the environment. The whole point of the game is to keep zombies from eating your brains, and to preserve yourself. However, when you compare the different styles of the two sides in the war, there is a very clear style set up in terms of nature vs. industry. The zombies will deploy roadcones, buckets, and robotics, while the plants are, well, plants.
However, the real obvious deployment of the message has only recently been kicked up a notch. With GW2, the darker and grittier side of urban life comes is becoming apparent. In one of the new Graveyard Ops maps, zombies have to defend a factory from plant life. However, in the backgrounds and setups of the map, you can see the twisted idea of progress in motion. Cones, buckets, shields and zombots are being spewed out in a haphazardly manner, while in the background you can spot trees dying as a forest is stripped bare. You also see how much darker and wild suburbia has gotten without nature's influence, with contruction equipment lining the skyline in a jetting, ugly format.
What makes this stand out so well is that Dr. Zomboss is a more believeable (so to speak) villian than any villians featured on Captain Planet or other pro-environment show. His entire scheme does involve destoying the ecosystem, but it only serve as a means to accolpish his true goal: to eat brains. His wrecking of habitats serves not becuase he hates nature, but becuase it stands in the way of his goal. He builds giant factories not for the fun of pollution, but as a means to supply his troops.
All in all, Plants vs. Zombies may not be about the environment, but I think it handles the message in a very subtle and clever way. I don't know if and how the movie will tackle these issues, but I am more than willing to keep my eyes peeled!

mesh generation for in-cylinder fluent simulation
I was wondering whether anyone can provide me with some general advice on the best approach for creating a mesh to use for a dynamic engine cylinder simulation. I know I need to use a dynamic mesh, but it is not really clear where I do this.. Do I just create a normal mesh using design modler and meshing and then define the cell layering, sliding interfaces, and remeshing in fluent afterwards - or must I do something special in meshing? And, does the inlet valve need to be defined as some sort of body, or just a void in the mesh?
I am trying to do this in 3D, partly because I will be needing to go 3D eventually anyway, but also because I have no idea how you would create a 2D mesh - does anyone know of any 2D meshing tutorials for the Ansys (11) meshing application.
ANSYS does have a vertical application for this called "IC3M" (in cylinder moving mesh model)
It automates the setup and meshing process by asking for things like which parts are the valves and what are the valve lift profiles, etc.
I have not been involved with it for some time and I know they are refactoring it (so what I know is out of date), but it is worth a look rather than re-inventing the wheel or setting everything up manually.
Best regards,
Help !
I am preparing a job in the si cylinder but i don't have the 3d geometry for simulate them in fluent
i can't found it any were.
please if you can help !

Galle: India made a slow start in the first cricket Test against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, reaching 16-0 in 20 overs by lunch on the opening day. Openers Shiv Sunder Das and Sadagopan Ramesh, however, achieved the tourists' aim of not to lose early wickets after Sri Lanka won the toss and fielded first on a grassy wicket at the Galle international stadium.Das, hit on the helmet by a rising ball from Dilhara Fernando, went to lunch on six. Left-handed Ramesh, who was lucky to survive an appeal for a catch at the wicket off Ruchira Perera, was unbeaten on nine.Television replays showed the ball took a thin edge, but umpire Asoka De Silva turned down a half-hearted appeal from the bowler and wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara.The Sri Lankan seamers kept the runs in check, but failed to exploit conditions tailor-made for them by making wayward deliveries. Play was held up by drizzle after just 22 balls had been bowled and resumed 35 minutes later as the sun broke through for the first time in the morning. The Indians, who scored a solitary run before the interruption, managed just six runs in the first 13 overs.Sri Lanka had added a fourth seamer, Suresh Perera, in the line-up to make use of the helpful conditions. Perera came in for wicket-keeper Romesh Kaluwitharana, leaving Sangakkara to don the gloves.India, without the injured Sachin Tendulkar, went in with six specialist batsmen in the first of three back-to-back Tests.

Hello penguins,
Billybob made a new post on Club Penguin's Blog! He is talking about the Penguin Awards that will be this March and about a new game that will be out this month. Check out what he says:
March has arrived, and that means lots of exciting new events are coming up fast!
Starting this week we begin the countdown to the Penguin Play Awards. For those who didn't make it last year, it's a huge event where everyone votes for their favorite Stage plays from 2009. Check out this sneak peek of the Plaza…
It'll kick off March 19 – How do you think you and your friends will get ready for the red carpet?
In other news, Rockhopper's been spotted in the telescope at the Beacon, so that means he'll be on the island soon. And later this month you can keep your eye out for a big surprise – a brand new game! I can't say much about it, just that you'll need to be quick… and ready to come to the rescue…
What do you think about this new game? Will Rockhopper bring it? Rory? Penguin Awards? Saint Patrick's Day? Sensei??

Ques. 1 What are the common causes of watering of eyes?
Ans. Common causes of watering from the eyes are – Conjunctivitis, scleritis, iritis, etc.
Classification of Conjunctivitis :
(A) Infective bacterial Conjunctivitis –
- Pseudo-membranous.
- Purulent, e.g. gonorrheal, ophthalmia neonatorum.
- Acute catarrhal of muco-purulent conjunctivitis, e.g. acute (commonest), Sub-acute, chronic.
Viral conjunctivitis –
- follicular, e.g. acute and chromic,
- conjunctivitis in measles; varicella (chicken pox, variola of small-pox, mumps, influenza, vaccinia; yellow-fever and dengu fever; herpes zoster ophthalmicus).
Conjunctivitis due to specific infection, e.g. tuber-culous, Tularensis, Parinaud's and in leprosy. Conjuctivitis associated with skin disease.
Allergic conjunctivitis, e.g. simple allergic, Vernal or spring catarrh.
Conjunctivitis due to Bedsonia group of organisms , e.g. Swimming-bath conjunctivitis, trachoma, inclusion blennorrhoea of newborn.
Ques. 2 What is Acute conjunctivitis?
Ans. Commonest organism is Koch Week's Bacillus. Other organisms are pneumococci, staphylococci, influenza bacilli. Incubation period is 3-4 days. Age – any age. Sex- any sex. (bad hygienic conditions and dirty habits help infection to establish as disease is highly contagious). It is an acute inflammation of the conjunctiva associated with redness and discharge. It is due to infection of the conjunctiva by various micro-organisms.
Pathology :
- Tissue changes – The desquamated cells often contain hundreds of bacteria and marked increase of lymphocytes in adenoid layer. The epithelial cells undergo degeneration & exfoliation either individually or in sheets leaving raw areas.
- Vascular changes – The exudates, after producing tissue-oedema, filters though conjunctival epithelium and mingling with the tearm and secretion of conjunctival glands, constitutes the discharge of conjunctivitis. Hyperamia, exudation of cells and fibrin-rich oedematous fluid into tissue space.
Clinical Features : Symptoms –
- Foreign – body sensation in the eyes.
- Mucoid or muco-purulent discharge.
- Sticking together of the lids with discharge on waking.
- Marked redness of the eyes, usually bilateral.
- Watering and photophobia.
Signs –
- Muco-purulent discharge on the lid-margins and in the fornices.
- In severe cases, chemosis and small punctuate conjunctival haemorrhages may be present.
- Palpebral conjunctiva and fornices are bright red in colour and swollen.
- Bulbar conjunctiva relatively less congested.
Course : Even without treatment, disease clear up within a week of two.
Diagnosis :
- Conjunctival type of congestion.
- Presence of muco-purulent discharge.
- History of sticking together of the eye lids during sleep.
Complications :
- Rarely chronic dacryocystitis.
- May pass on to chronic stage.
- Corneal ulcer.
Differential Diagnosis :
- Keratitis – watering, dimness of vision, haziness of cornea.
- Glaucoma – severe pain in eye and headache, raised intra-ocular, cupping of optic disc.
- Refractive error –the patient cannot see the objects of either near of distance.
- Iritis – ciliary type of congestion, muddy colour of iris, pupil constructed, pain in eye and headache.
Management : (A) Prophylaxis –
- Protection of the unaffected eye if unilateral.
- Patient should lie on the affected side if the disease is unilateral.
- For others- isolation.
- Towels and other articles of the patient should not be used by other members of family.
(B) Curative –
- No rubbing.
- Antibiotic and chemotherapeutic drops and ointment.
- Wash – the eyes should be washed with lotio normal saline (0.9%) thrice daily.
- For other eye – (a) sealed, (b) should lie on affected side.
Ques. 3 Which Homoeopathic Remedies are important in this case?
Ans. Homoeopathic Remedies : -
- ACONITE – First stage of inflammation, prior to exudation, cornea or iris, or after surgical operations, or if there be great redness, chemosis and profuse purulent discharge with swelling and redness of lids & much burning heat in eye; excessive painfulness and photophobia; feeling as if it would be forced out of orbit, making lids tense.
- ALLIUM CEPA – Acute catarrhal conjunctivitis, associated with a similar condition of the air-passages; lachrymation excessive, but not excoriating, burning esp. in margin of lids. Panophthalmia after operation of trauma with great pain.
- EUPHRASIA – Blepharitis, lids red, swollen and with thick, yellow, acrid discharge, often mixed with the profuse, acrid, which excoriate lids and cheeks, conjunctivitis and keratitis catarrhalis and scrofulosa, photophobia, dimness of aqueous, discoloration of iris.
- NATRUM PHOS – Conjunctivitis with discharge of yellow creamy matter; lids glued together in morning, burning lachrymation.

While Ryan Stoppable has been doing the ratings, here are the two more recent episodes and how they fared:
Ferb Latin
Possibly due to Black Friday shoppers going to bed early, the episode got just 2.929 million viewers[1], the lowest since the movie premiere back in August. The 18-49 rating was an 0.5, tying ANT Farm for #1 for Disney Channel on Friday night. The program was #2 most viewed among all viewers at its time slot, beating House of Payne (2.538 million, 1.0 18-49), Wipeout (1.349, 0.6 18-49), and Say Yes to the Dress (1.324, 0.4 18-49), but lagged behind Gold Rush (4.739, 1.7 18-49). This was 484,000 behind 25th, a NFL postgame report on the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.[2]
A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas
Possibly buoyed by Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas! the episode got 4.224 million viewers with a 0.7 18-49 rating[3] and was the 19th most watched program that week[4], having a 2.9 HH rating. It was the #3 most-seen program on Disney Channel, behind 2 airngs of Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas! (6.876 million, 1.1 18-49, 4.5 HH on Friday and 4.763 million and 3.4 on Sunday), as well as the series preview of Austin and Ally (5,661 million, 3.7 HH, 0.8 18-49). As for comparable programs running at the same times, only The Grinch Grinches The Cat in the Hat (1.745 million, 0.5, 18-49) was on the list at a similar time.
Have a very Perry Christmas and a (gyryryryryryryr) New Year!

Partnership for secure credit card data handling with unified communications
Sipera Systems
: 24 June, 2009
(Company News)
Sipera and TrustNet join forces to provide PCI DSS compliant credit card data handling in unified communications and VoIP environments
Sipera Systems has announced a partnership with TrustNet to boost the secure handling of credit card data in enterprises that are deploying VoIP and Unified Communications while complying with the industry standard for payment card security.
Enterprises in a range of industries are adopting UC, which includes voice, video, IM, collaboration and other real-time communications traversing converged infrastructures. UC and VoIP offer dramatic cost savings and new modes of interaction among customers, partners, employees and the supply chain. But with UC and VoIP, these communications now share many of the same data networks and resources that are used for carrying credit card data and transaction information. As a result, enterprises must carefully evaluate the security posture of these networks and communications, especially if they seek to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
TrustNet is a PCI DSS Qualified Security Assessor, providing guidance and assessment services to enterprises seeking to achieve PCI DSS compliance. Sipera's security appliances provide comprehensive security and control over VoIP and UC, and its VIPER Lab provides VoIP and UC security assessment services.
Together, Sipera and TrustNet offer enterprises both the guidance and functionality to ensure that their VoIP and UC implementations are consistent with security best practices and support their efforts to achieve and maintain PCI DSS compliance. Without addressing the new security challenges of the evolving communications infrastructure, enterprises put themselves at risk for payment card data theft, compromised transaction privacy, and loss of consumer trust.
Sipera and TrustNet will present a webinar on Tuesday, June 30, about the impact of VoIP and UC on PCI DSS compliance. For more information: http://tinyurl.com/PCI-VOIP
"Security is a fundamental requirement of all enterprise communications, but it is especially important when your enterprise is handling consumer and credit card data," said Adam Boone, VP of Marketing at Sipera Systems. "Working with TrustNet, we're applying our UC security expertise to PCI DSS, enabling PCI-compliant businesses to continue to protect their data while deploying cost-effective VoIP and unified communications."
"We are pleased to help our clients achieve highly effective security practices and to ensure the safety of payment card data in compliance with PCI DSS," said Trevor Horwitz, Principal at TrustNet. "Many enterprises are now taking advantage of revolutionary communications technologies represented by VoIP and UC. We are working with Sipera to help enterprises navigate the transformation to VoIP and UC while maintaining the right security posture to safeguard consumer data."
For businesses seeking more information and education about PCI DSS, the upcoming webinar will cover:
* How PCI DSS requirements relate to VoIP and UC technologies and infrastructures.
* UC security planning best practices for adopting and managing effective security architectures.
* How to assess enterprise security and identify potential gaps and risks that might compromise PCI DSS efforts.
The Sipera UC-Sec products are comprehensive, real-time UC security solutions that simplify and protect next-generation communications over any network to any device. Dozens of customers around the world rely on the UC-Sec appliances to safeguard their communications and boost compliance with privacy laws, regulatory mandates and mission-critical confidentiality requirements. Backed by the extensive vulnerability research of VIPER Lab, the UC-Sec solutions provide threat protection, policy enforcement, access control and privacy in a single, real-time appliance.

Difficult read.
Gist clear in the first few chapters.
System one thinking is driven by the reptilian brain. Intuitive and emotional. Impulsive.
System two thinking driven by neocortex, especially prefrontal cortex. Mature around 25 years old. Rational decision making. Overrides S1.
Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize in economics for the work he did with his long-time intellectual partner, Amos Tversky. (Tversky probably would have shared in the prize had he lived.) Remarkably, neither man was an economist — rather, they were psychologists whose work had extraordinary economic consequences. In this outstanding book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman restates, summarizes, and popularizes much of their joint research. [Michael Lewis's new book, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds… is about their relationship.]
A unifying theme of this book is that the human mind operates in at least two distinct and separate ways. The first way (the author calls it System 1) is instinctive, nearly instantaneous, efficient, very useful, but often misleading and sometimes downright wrong. The second way (System 2) is deliberate, ratiocinative, relatively slow, and generally more accurate than System 1. But, as Kahneman shows, System 2 also can be self-deceptive.
Kahneman begins by elaborating on the basic elements of the two-systems approach to making choices. He then explores why it is so difficult for us to think "statistically" rather than, say, associatively, or metaphorically. The third part describes "our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance…." [This of course has a lot of significance lately given all the speculation over why so many people adhere to "alternative facts."]
In the fourth part, Kahneman addresses the standard economic model that posits economic agents act rationally. Kahneman's work is significant for economics because he demonstrates that real people "are not well described by the rational agent model" that is the basis of the Chicago School and much other economic analysis. It is not that people are always or even mostly irrational, but that there are occasions where it is extremely difficult to be perfectly consistent in one's beliefs.
Finally, he reviews recent research that introduced the fascinating distinction between "the experiencing self" and "the remembering self," which, as he demonstrates, "do not have the same interests." Which one will guide us, and which one will inform our determination of "well-being"?
Kahneman and Tversky influenced and were influenced by University of Chicago economist Richard Thaler. Together, they helped form a new discipline called behavioral economics. One of the more interesting consequences of their analyses is a departure from the strictly laissez faire approach to public policy advocated by Milton Friedman to the slightly more paternalistic approach advocated by Thaler in Misbehaving and by Thaler and Cass Sunstein in their best seller, Nudge.
The book is dedicated to the memory of Amos Tversky, who died in 1996.
Evaluation: Thinking, Fast and Slow is extremely stimulating and very lucidly written. It is considered to be a "landmark" in economics and an intellectual tour de force.
I'm not entirely sure that I can adequately review Thinking Fast and Slow. It's so chock full of fantastic ideas, insights, and information that I'm afraid even trying to comment on it will make me look like a fool.
Let me just say, then, that Thinking Fast and Slow is absolutely fascinating, a book worth reading and rereading, especially if you're of the self-improvement, self-examining type. Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel Prize winner for his work in Behavioral Economics has a fascinating mind, and I felt like I had a front-row seat to one of the most incredible lectures about decision making, heuristics, and judgment that had ever been given.
And here's where I start to worry about sounding like a fool: this just isn't my field of expertise. Sure, I love learning and I consider myself to be, in many respects, an autodidact. But Thinking Fast and Slow is, if I'm not mistaken, a summary of all of Kahneman's work from the last fifty years (or more?). It's gobstoppingly dense with studies Kahneman and his fellow researchers have devised to examine who people think, and I quell the thought of trying to comment on it.
But I will gladly comment about it. Thinking Fast and Slow has been, over the weeks that I've been reading it, easily the book I've recommended most, and I admit having to suppress some excitement when someone tells me that they've ordered the book from Amazon. Even if you don't like economics, or maybe especially if you don't like economics, Kahneman's research is accessible to anyone with even a modicum of interest in society, decision-making, or how we think and exercise judgment. Rather than describe the world in terms of complex equations and graphs--though there are certainly a lot of graphs--Kahneman seems to be constantly devising thought experiments to understand how and why people act in certain situations. What a life it must be to be Kahneman, self-tasked with identifying the 'how' and 'why' of any particular decision, whether it is discerning who the best candidates are for officer training from among a cadre of soldiers during field exercises, or figuring out how to redesign the food pyramid to be a food pie, there seems to be no end of topics or situations where behavioral economics can be applied with some revelatory success.
One part of especial interest to me was the section, near the end, when Kahneman begins to describe memory, pain, and suffering. If I understand right, Kahneman makes the point that research shows that it isn't the measurement of pleasure, happiness, or well-being over the duration of an event--such as a surgery, marriage, or vacation--that matters so much as how the event ends that we remember. Even if the event was, for the most part, a wonderful or positive experience we still remember the event based on how it ends. Shakespeare might put this as "All's well that ends well." For me, it's a paradigm-shifting insight about the importance not only of getting things right but also ending things right. How we remember things is, essentially, flawed, and what we are left with in memory often conflicts with what the experience was as a whole.
Anyway, Thinking Fast and Slow is a great book. Prospect theory, framing, reference points, loss versus gain, and more are all raised and addressed and explored, and I am sure I will return to it again soon. I think I probably read it far too quickly, too eager to absorb concepts, and I feel there's more here to understand and examine.
Thought and thinking; Decision making; Intuition; Reasoning
Thinking, Fast & Slow by Daniel Kahneman is an incisive, academic, cogent, and far-reaching piece of work that should be part of everyone's library.
Nobel Prize winning Kahneman unleashes a foray into the domain of decision-making, psychology & problem-solving unlike nothing ever seen within this discipline previously. Kahneman is the individual responsible as to why the subject of Behavioral Economics has grown as fast as its grown for quite some time.
Kahneman meticulously tackles many thought-provoking aspects in psychology with scrupulous scientific rigor. This book is the author's magnum opus, without a doubt.
This relentless journey into the domain of the brain leaves no stone unturned, which is why Kahneman work has become unprecedented to economists and others alike.
The author parses his main idea into two sets. The brain, according to Kahneman, splits things into a binary cognitive system. This is what the author denotes as System 1, and System 2.
System 1 is automatic, emotive, unconscious, responsible for lightning-quick decisions, whilst System 2 is methodical, incisive, conscious, and orderly.
Each system plays its part in shaping the world in how we see it. The book tackles nigh every little crevice available to the author in search for the understanding of the above-mentioned systems, its ramifications, and what we can learn do to learn from each.
However, in interest of full disclosure this is not the quickest book to read, even for avid readers unless one is perhaps hyper interested in the subject matter. The book is also quite repetitive in a few spots. Then again, some people learn better from rereading things a few times, and from different angles, so take that for whats it worth.
Still, the book is chock-full of intriguing data sets and experiments, and the way in which the concepts are discussed, although overly methodical in certain spots, is definitely worth the read.
Kahneman's journey into the studies discussed attempts to leave no stone unturned in his bid to shed light into the ideas of the illusion of validity, narrow framing, planning fallacies, regression to the mean, the illusion of understanding, the endowment effect, and much, much more.
Ultimately the book seeks to show us how we can trust ourselves – our brain – better, and how to succeed in understanding the various facets that cognitive behavior goes through. Coupled with that, Kahneman also makes it a point to give individuals practical ways in which to hone our mental skill and be able to use System 1 and System 2 in a way that benefits us most.
If you are an individual that is serious about the inner workings of the mind, especially in regards to decision making, the book – although lengthy – will keep you busy pondering many seams from which to draw wisdom from.
The replication crisis in psychology does not extend to every line of inquiry, and just a portion of the work described in Thinking, Fast and Slow has been cast in shadows. Kahneman and Tversky's own research, for example, turns out to be resilient. Large-scale efforts to recreate their classic findings have so far been successful. One bias they discovered—people's tendency to overvalue the first piece of information that they get, in what is known as the "anchoring effect"—not only passed a replication test, but turned out to be much stronger than Kahneman and Tversky thought.
Still, entire chapters of Kahneman's book may need to be rewritten.
"It is an astonishingly rich book: lucid, profound, full of intellectual surprises and self-help value. It is consistently entertaining and frequently touching..."
Thinking, Fast and Slow is nonetheless rife with lessons on how to overcome bias in daily life.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0374275637, Hardcover)
Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2011: Drawing on decades of research in psychology that resulted in a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, Daniel Kahneman takes readers on an exploration of what influences thought example by example, sometimes with unlikely word pairs like "vomit and banana." System 1 and System 2, the fast and slow types of thinking, become characters that illustrate the psychology behind things we think we understand but really don't, such as intuition. Kahneman's transparent and careful treatment of his subject has the potential to change how we think, not just about thinking, but about how we live our lives. Thinking, Fast and Slow gives deep--and sometimes frightening--insight about what goes on inside our heads: the psychological basis for reactions, judgments, recognition, choices, conclusions, and much more. --JoVon Sotak
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:00:22 -0400)
Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities and also the faults and biases of fast thinking, and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on peoples' thoughts and choices.

Adding to the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, the cooling level has fallen in the No. 5 reactor, Japan's nuclear safety agency says.
The reactor stopped safely for inspection after Friday's magnitude-9.0 quake, but the tsunami damaged a diesel generator that circulated the coolant, NHK writes. Pressure built up, so a relief valve was opened, thereby reducing the coolant.
To compensate, workers are using the diesel generator for reactor No. 6 to pump water to cool both reactors.
One bright spot: Tokyo Electric reports in its latest update that all is "stable" with the four reactors at the Fukushima Daini nuclear plant, about 7 miles south of Dai-ichi. A nuclear emergency had been declared there after Friday's quake/tsunami.

The Fog Bank separates the Pink Country from the Blue Country on Sky Island. It is so thick and blinding that one could wander forever without getting out. It hangs like a blue-grey cloud directly across the center of the island and it is damp enough to wet clothes and hair, making anyone who enters miserable. The ground in the Fog Bank is covered with white pebbles which are tinged blue near the Blue Country and pink near the other side.
The Fog Bank is a Paradise of Giant Frogs, one of the smallest being as big as a man and the King of Frogs ten times bigger. Other inhabitants include a parsnip-loving lizard; Cancer the Zodiac Crab, who has rheumatic legs because of the dampness; and a monstrous turtle.

- —Andrew confessing to killing Angela.[src]
Andrew Wike was the owner of a magic club where Stan Provazolli performed. He killed Angela Provazolli when she found out he was laundering money and framed Stan for it by using his knife.
When Phoebe Halliwell was on the jury in Stan's trial, she had a premonition about a man with a Medusa tattoo killing Angela, leading her to believe that Stan was innocent. When she talked to Stan, he named Andrew as the killer. Piper was later able to confirm this when she saw the tattoo on his arm.
Piper and Paige later confronted Andrew and made him confess. However, he was terrified about someone killing him. He then disappeared from the stage and was confronted by a Rat Demon in the basement. The demon turned Andrew into a rat for telling the witches and other rats then killed him. Stan was later cleared when Angela's spirit told the jury it was Andrew that killed her.
Andrew Wike appeared in a total of 1 episode throughout the course of the series.
