Please join us at the Kamloops Museum and Archives for our newest exhibition.
Housework, The Bungalow Style in Kamloops features recent and enlarged archives photographs of Kamloops houses from downtown and the West End, built mainly between 1900 and 1930. These houses typify the Bungalow style, which is an expression of the British Arts & Crafts movement—often referred to as the "Craftsman" style of architecture in North America.
Kamloops' downtown used the Bungalow as a building template. But just what is a bungalow? It's not an easy question to answer, and no architectural style is consistent all the way through. But after touring the show, you'll have a better understanding of the characteristics and history of the formative architecture of Kamloops; hopefully enough understanding to "know one when you see one."
With some exceptions, a bungalow is typically a house one to one–and–a–half storeys high, with the half–story made of rooms extending out of the roof slope. Its form comes from the simple rooflines and extended porches of bangala—Bengali peasant huts—crossed with the standard British army tent. During the British Raj in India, the hybrid dwellings were built in compounds outside cities to allow the British to escape South Asia's summer heat.
In North America, the bungalow is traditionally linked to the Craftsman style. This style is part of a pragmatic, American response to the idealism that fuelled the anti–industrialist Arts & Crafts movement in Britain. Craftsman style houses combined factory processes with artisanal labour, natural materials and exposed structural features to highlight the standalone beauty of architecture and the value of the work that gave rise to it. The majority of houses in British Columbia between 1900 and 1930 were built in the Craftsman style.
The style permeates Kamloops. Wood siding, exposed posts, beams, brackets and rafters are common sights in neighbourhoods throughout the city, particularly in the West End and Downtown. But as a transportation hub with a fluctuating economy grounded in resources, houses in Kamloops also reflect a range of regional styles and a cautious approach to scale. While the West End and Downtown are undoubtedly inscribed by the Craftsman style, its clearest and most homegrown expression comes through the diminutive and varied forms of the bungalow.

|Mad Clown
|Rated at
|390 lbs. (180 kg)
|Milan, Italy
|First appearance
|Super Punch-Out!! (February 1994)
|Boxing record
|#1 World Circuit
|Total fights
Mad Clown is a traveling circus clown who decided to take up boxing. He made his only appearance in the SNES version of Super Punch-Out!! as the third boxer in the World Circuit. According to the manual, Mad Clown was originally an Italian opera singer. After having a nervous breakdown, he abandoned his singing career to join the circus. The monotony of performing the same juggling routines night after night, combined with being forced to drive a car that was much too small, prompted him to take up boxing. He is a reference to Pagliaccio, the lead character in the opera Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
Super Punch-Out!! (1994)Edit
In the SNES version of Super Punch-Out!!, Mad Clown juggles and throws six juggling balls at his opponent (also cheating). Like Bear Hugger, his sprite edit counterpart, his stomach becomes invulnerable to body blows and uses hugging attacks. He has very high defense and power. His signature move is the "Clown Hook" where he does a fake uppercut, followed by a backhand hook. If you dodge in the wrong direction, you will be hit.
It definitely helps if the player can counter Mad Clown's attacks with a punch to the face. Most of his punches can be countered, allowing the player many opportunites to get in some strong hits.
Mad Clown also has a "Show Time!" move where after two knockdowns, he gets more aggressive and does three jabs along with a hook. However, he doesn't defend himself against the player's punches, allowing the player to easily defeat him.
- "Welcome! Now let's get this show on the road." (first match)
- "Huh? Don't you like my show?" (rematch)
- "Go home! The show is over." (endgame)
- "Show Time!" (his cornerman, after being knocked down twice, telling him to start a flurry of moves)

Smooth 9 65LC Treadmill Reviews
treadmill Doctor Note :
The 9.65LC is a home run! Big and beefy with a large motor to go with the huge belt is what we like to see in a treadmill.
The best treadmill that Smooth has ever built and with the praise that we have had for them with some of their machines in the past, that is saying quite a bit.

My Hero!
Alijah Moultrie
Period 9
Martin Luther King Jr
Why He's My Hero
Dr. King is one of the few true American heroes. In an age where it has become fashionable to hero-bash--uncovering the nefarious backgrounds and destroying the myths of American heroes, like George Washington and John F. Kennedy--the name of Dr. King has remains unblemished, and justifiably so. Dr. King stood for what he believed, and was a man ahead of his time. In the face of adversity, he dedicated and sacrificed his life for the equality of all people. His dream, which many today still share, has continued to live on as his legacy. His adversaries took his life, but his heroic legacy will never die. Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we're free at last.
Problems My Hero Faced
While participating in a 1966 march through Mississippi, King encountered strong criticism from "Black Power" proponent Stokely Carmichael. Shortly afterward white counter-protesters in the Chicago area physically assaulted King in the Chicago area during an unsuccessful effort to transfer non-violent protest techniques to the urban North. Despite these leadership conflicts, King remained committed to the use of non-violent techniques. Early in 1968, he initiated a Poor Peoples campaign designed to confront economic problems that had not been addressed by early civil rights reforms.
Things My Hero Overcame
Using civil disobdience (non-violent protests and peace rallies), Martin Luther King Jr. encouraged the African American community to fight for civil rights without violence. MLK's persistence led to the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where he gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Shortly after, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed.

Abandoned Pit Bull Is So Depressed She Just Stares At The Wall
Most of us have experienced the simple beauty of being able to spend time at home with our loved ones, sitting by a cozy fire and soaking up affection. But for the dog in this video, this moment has never taken place and to her, it is merely a dream that has yet to become a reality.
This pitbull is named Princess and Princess has been dealt a bad hand in life. She is 8 years old and has been abandoned since January 2013. Up until that point, she had a family to call her own. But they decided to move and did not want to be bothered with the task of taking their pooch along for the ride.
Phoenix's Maricopa County Animal Care and Control was placed in charge of Princess. From there, Princess was slated for a euthanization. But Rescue Pals' Elena Bobu decided to rescue Princess from this shelter and save her life.
Elena discovered that Princess' owners had allowed her weight to balloon to an unhealthy level and that her coat was in a state of disrepair. When Elena first decided to adopt Princess, she was told that the dog did not like people. However, Princess took an immediate shine to Elena and they became fast friends.
Elena then set about the task of locating a forever home for Princess, but she has had no luck so far. Princess was adopted on three different occasions and was returned each time. Princess was forced to live in substandard conditions and on one occasion, Elena had to pay an owner $100 just to get Princess back.
All the coming and going has depressed Princess. She can't figure out why no one wants her. She is still without a home and Elena has recently written a Facebook post in hopes of finding her a family.
Princess would prefer a home without small children or other dogs who are hyperactive. Her best case scenario would be to find a home with older children or a small puppy. Take a moment to watch the video and if you wish to adopt Princess, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please share this story with your closest friends and family, so that Princess can find a forever home as soon as possible. Those who are unable to adopt Princess, say a prayer for this loving dog, in hopes that she will locate a family that can care for her before it is too late.

Larsen Statement On President Obama's Plan For Afghanistan And Pakistan
U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement after President Barack Obama's announcement today of a coordinated plan for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Larsen traveled to Afghanistan over Thanksgiving, visiting with U.S. troops serving there and addressing how the United States and our allies can achieve success.
Today's announcement shows that President Obama and his team have conducted a thorough and comprehensive review of our policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
President Obama's review makes it clear that success in Afghanistan will require a substantial and sustained commitment from the United States military, civilian agencies, and our allies around the world. Our immediate goal must be to deny safe havens to terrorists who would do us harm.
In Afghanistan, the United States military must combine police training with anti-corruption and reconstruction efforts. The Afghan National Army (ANA) must increase in size and capability so the Afghan government can control its own security. Our commitment must be more than military and will require a surge of civilian experts in agriculture and education, engineering and law to help rebuild Afghanistan.
President Obama made it clear that he will not blindly stay the course, but hold ourselves accountable for progress on clear benchmarks. These include training Afghan Security Forces, routing out insurgents, strengthening Afghanistan's economy and government and dismantling the production of narcotics.
President Obama also made it clear that we can talk about Afghanistan and Pakistan separately, but we cannot deal with them separately. The President's comprehensive plan brings a coordinated approach to this volatile region.
In Pakistan, U.S. military assistance is necessary but not sufficient. We need the Pakistan Army to intensify their focus on counterinsurgency operations to eliminate Al Qaida safe havens, particularly in the ungoverned areas in northwest Pakistan.
President's Obama's plan is an important step to defend America and ensure that the Afghanistan-Pakistan region does not remain a safe-haven for the terrorists responsible for the September 11th attacks. I look forward to working with the Administration and my colleagues on the House Armed Services to support the men and women of our military serving in this region, and to provide oversight of the President's coordinated strategy.

Fugro GEOS has been contracted by Statoil to provide current measurements for the construction planning of two export pipelines in the North Sea. An oil pipeline will run from the Johan Sverdrup field to the Mongstad terminal, whilst a gas export pipeline from the same field will connect to Kalstø.
Seventeen current moorings will be deployed in water depths ranging from 115 to 578 metres to produce measurements for a period of 15 months together with post-service reports. The measured data will enable Statoil to consider the most appropriate engineering design for the pipeline route, reducing risk and cost.
"Statoil needed a contractor they could trust to mobilise the seventeen moorings for the Johan Sverdrup measurement campaign within a short space of time and we were extremely pleased to rise to this challenge," says Jonathan Ainley, Commercial Manager at Fugro GEOS Ltd. "Statoil knows that we invest heavily in the latest instrumentation and can rely on Fugro to provide excellent data returns and accurate data sets."

Chapter 3: Revision Page
What is Software?
Software are programs that run on a device, there are many different types of software, these are: word processors, publishers and web browsers. Software is described to be an imaginary device that could carry out any arithmetical sequences given to it as long as it was supplied with suitable instructions. this was a huge achievement as it was the first of its kind. The first ever algorithm to be able to solve multiple problems. This was a stepping stone for the technological era as it helped to develop most of the technology and programs we use today. it is mostly used to develop, make, design and create apps and computer programmes.
Key terms:
Algorithm: A series of steps designed to solve a mathematical or other problems. Instructions: A set of commands that a processor can recognise and act upon Program: A stored set of instructions for a computer to execute.
Software: The programs which run on a computer.
Application: Software designed to carry out a useful real-world task.
Platform: A combination of hardware and operating systems which run certain app Programming language: A way of writing programs for the computer to execute
Writing Software
Software is written using programming languages by programmers. there are hundreds of different programming languages and more are always being developed. The problem is this can only run on binary bit code. even with such a wide range of programming languages available, it is still difficult to produce easy to use and reliable software, because it is such a new thing to humans. there are rules to how writing software should be approached. this is the discipline of software engineering.
Systems Software
System software is computer software designed to operate and control the computer hardware and to provide a platform for running application software. System software includes the following:
- The operating system, examples being Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux), allows the parts of a computer to work together by performing tasks like transferring data between memory and disks or rendering output onto a display device. It also provides a platform to run high-level system software and application software. It is a large collection of
- Utility software helps to analyze, configure, optimize and maintain the computer.
- Device drivers such as computer BIOS and device firmware provide basic functionality to operate and control the hardware connected to or built into the computer.
- A user interface "allows users to interact with a computer." Since the 1980s the graphical user interface (GUI) has been perhaps the most common user interface technology. The command-line interface is still a commonly used alternative.
Operating Systems
The operating system is a large collection of programs that tells the hardware what to do. They are found in nearly all computing devices from mobile phones to computer consoles. They oversee operations such as: transferring data between memory locations, producing visual displays on the screen, controlling peripherals, protecting data from being accidentally over written. It is usually referred to as a platform. This means it provides an environment where applications can run.

We are excited about helping your child move their learning forward and make progress in school. We look forward to working with them as they conclude their learning journey through Sandal Magna Community Academy.
It is day one at the Kingswood Camp. The children have had a fabulous time so far. We arrived and were introduced to our group leader, Aaron. We had a tour of the site and then, in an hour of free time, we played football, frisbee and did some mindfulness colouring. The sun shone on the righteous, though Mrs Sketchley, Mrs Pratt and Mr Carver have decided that there will be a bed making audition for anyone who wants to come in 2018!
The site based fun began at 5pm. Group A tested their risk taking skills using the zip wire and Group B were tricked by Mrs Pratt and Mr Carver on the nightline. They got very muddy as they lead each other blindfolded along a path.
Our evening meal seemed to meet with approval all round, as did the caramel shortbread dessert. Nevertheless, everyone still seemed to have room for toasted marshmallows as they burned off energy singing songs around the campfire.
Now we are back in the accommodation and there seems to be plenty of refined sugar floating around with whispered conversations about midnight feasts. Will anyone be sleeping this evening?

Is there software similar to Spiceworks that will manage documents?
My company is looking for an application that will allow users to import documents and add/tag descriptive data to the attached files so it can be search and filtered by the data associated to the file. I would like to be able to add custom searchable fields and categories that users can query and filter to get exactly what they want. The standard file format will probably be PDF.
Looking for suggestions. Thanks.

Here is my suggestion based on a few assumptions.
1 You have a server with enough space to house your document repository
2 All users have access to said server
3 All users have Windows OS
Instead of storing your documents in PDF format I would suggest simply using the native document types. They can be protected from alteration but still allow the contents to be searchable. As far as I know, the contents of a PDF are not searchable and they also don't have the Author, Comments, and Tags fields as part of their file properties. Use the files properties details tab of any Office document to add searchable data such as Author, Comments and Tags. Your users would simply use the search feature in Windows to search the repository.
You also get the added benefit that you dont have to install and configure a new application and your users dont have to learn it. They simply use the Office programs they are already familiar with. Some may need a small amount of instruction on how to use the Search feature in Windows to find what they are looking for.
Hope this helps.
Aug 28, 2010 at 6:46 UTC
Yes, Yes and Yes.
One problem though. Documents are derived from mixed applications. They will be in PDF format exported from applications such as AutoCAD, Photoshop, Office Documents, several other formats and also scanned documents from hard copies as well as archived files from before we went digital. There will be no way of searching the content on a good majority of the documents that we intend to be importing for searching and quick retrieval which is why I am looking for a solution that will tag PDF's and somehow index the database we can quickly search and also be able to filter to find exactly what we are looking for.
Thanks for your input!
Aug 28, 2010 at 7:25 UTC

A Receiver to Make Dreams a Reality
If you're dreaming of the high-end but are stuck on a mid-level budget, here's your solution. Painstakingly engineered for immensely powerful yet controlled THX® Theater Reference sound, the TX-RZ810 also comes with features you really want, such as Google Cast™, AirPlay, Wi-Fi®, and Bluetooth. Add an optional Onkyo speaker and mirror whatever's playing on the home theater in another room via FireConnect™ technology*, without cables and using our app to control playback, or enjoy different sources in different zones with Powered Zone 2 outputs and Zone 3 line outputs.
Zone 2 HDMI® shares 6G video on a second display, making the TX-RZ810 not only a wall-shaking movie-room powerhouse, but also a hub for housewide entertainment. Boasting a similar 5 Hz-capable audiophile build as our flagships—separate analog/digital circuitry, massive transformer, huge capacitors, and discrete non-phase-shift amps—the TX-RZ810's sheer agility and dynamism exceeds the highest expectations.
* Firmware update and optional Onkyo wireless speaker required
Our RZ Series A/V receivers deliver dynamic, detailed, and emotionally captivating sound. Upgraded with a massive transformer, custom 15,000 μF capacitors, and discrete low-NFB amps, the TX-RZ810 produces high instantaneous current for lightning-fast transient response, stunning detail resolution, and ultra-powerful bass to 5 Hz.
Dynamic Audio Amplification lets music live and breathe thanks to accurate, noise-free signal processing and hi-current power that dynamically controls your speakers, producing rich and authentic sound that fills you with emotion.
THX® certification guarantees the same high volume and low distortion you experience in a theater in your listening room. To achieve THX® certification, amplifiers must undergo the industry's toughest independent bench-testing to satisfy THX® requirements.
Introduce object-based Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™ sound to your living room, with sound flowing naturally above and around in three dimensions. Discrete effects—such as birdcalls, rain, or the sound of a helicopter—originate from overhead via height channels. Every element in an object-based soundtrack is mixed separately, free to travel from speaker to speaker with lifelike realism.
A firmware update enables any audio source connected to the receiver—from vinyl to streaming audio—to be sent wirelessly via FireConnect™ to an optional speaker* placed anywhere in your home. Stable, fast, and easy to control with a mobile, it's the smart way to set audio free.
* Unavailable at press time. Release date TBA.
Google Cast and AirPlay free your music from your smartphone. You can stream audio from compatible applications to your home theater, or stream virtually any mobile or PC audio via Bluetooth technology. Available internet radio and music subscription services include Pandora, Spotify, and more.
Note: Support for some features including Google Cast, TIDAL and Deezer will be enabled via future firmware update. Please consult the Onkyo website for scheduling information as it becomes available. Google Cast not supported on Chinese models.
Transparent imaging is achieved with various technologies starting at the D/A conversion stage, with VLSC™ helping the 384 kHz/32-bit DAC to assemble digital ones and zeros into a completely noise-free analog signal. Separate digital and analog circuitry prevents interference, while anti-phase-shift amps control timing to ensure wide-spectrum focus at any volume.
Select HDMI terminals support 4K/60 Hz video, HDCP 2.2 copy protection, and High Dynamic Range (HDR) for next-generation UltraHD streaming and broadcasting. A 6G- and HDCP 2.2/HDR-compatible Zone 2 HDMI output allows you to enjoy AV sources connected to the receiver in another room.
If you choose, Powered Zone 2 capability can bring audio to speakers in a second room connected to the receiver. Now with a dedicated Zone 2 DAC, you can share Digital Audio input sources such as Spotify or Internet podcasts.
AccuEQ equalizes the surround-sound to suit the room acoustics for crisply focused sound, while AccuReflex aligns the phase of upfiring height speakers with sound coming directly from your other speakers. Any delay is resolved so that everything arrives at your ears at the same time. The result is cohesive reproduction of object-based soundtracks.
Use Powered Zone 2 speaker outputs and Zone 3 line outputs to create a housewide entertainment system, and enjoy different audio sources sent from your A/V receiver in different rooms at the same time.
With its clean and intuitive interface, the Onkyo Remote 3 app grants easy control of your compatible Onkyo network component using an iPod touch/iPhone. As well as offering comprehensive playback functionality (including volume control), you can use Remote 3 to stream audio from your handset to your entertainment system; select and stream Hi-Res PCM and DSD audio from media server; and browse the internet streaming services included with your Onkyo product. For owners of compatible Onkyo network A/V receivers, the app also provides a simple graphical interface for switching sound programs, tweaking speakers in your surround setup, and controlling playback across multiple zones within your home. Remote 3 is also compatible with Onkyo's Remote Interactive (RI) technology to allow remote control of other components within the system.
Note: Remote App is compatible with iPod touch (5th generation or later) and iPhone 4 or later. All models require iOS 7.0 or later.
Android OS 2.1 or later.

So my big kids are eight years old. They are somewhat skeptical little monkeys and between you and me, I cannot for the life of me figure out why they haven't figured out Santa is a hoax yet. To be fair, nobody here has told them he is fake; I just thought they would have figured it out by now.
In a world that is moving so fast, we consider our eight year olds still believing in Santa as a special, innocent, fleeting gift. We aren't the kind to rush our kids into growing up. Childhood is special and magical and you can't go back. The big giant non-magical world will be waiting for them when they are ready. So while we don't really build up Santa, we aren't doing anything to tear the idea of him down either.
The tooth fairy is still going strong in our house too….. we have been perpetuating that silliness a bit I suppose. You can read about how I told them the 'Truth' about the Tooth Fairy if you like too!
The thing they have figured out though is that the Easter Bunny is baloney. They have had this figured out for more than a year. But once again, I let them spin their wheels and come up with their own theory. This theory is in two parts. Last year they came up with something fairly brilliant. This year they have expanded on that theory. So with no further delay – here is my kids calling out the Easter Bunny.
So last year my daughter goes "I don't really see how the Easter Bunny can get to all those houses, he is just a bunny."
Me "Well, I don't know kiddo, I mean, Santa does it too."
J " Yeah, but Santa is a person, the Easter Bunny is a rabbit."
Brother quips in "And do you know, the Easter Bunny is NEVER a bunny, he is a bunny suit Mom, those are not real bunnies, I see their heads, they are a suit that zips up, like at Disneyland but not as nice as Disneyland."
J "Yeah Bubs! Santa is a man and we see his face and the Easter Bunny if he was magical he would be a giant bunny but he is just like a fake toy."
* Now this is where some kids might be all "Mom, is the Easter Bunny real or is it pretend?" This is also where some parents might be like "Hey guys, I have to tell you some hard truths about the Easter Bunny." – but for entertainment sake I let the kids just roll and I am so glad I did.*
J "What if the Easter Bunny is Santa Claus?!"
S *hysterical laughter* pause *light bulb* no words.
J "What if he is?!" pause "He totally is."
S "Yes! The Easter Bunny is not a bunny, he is a guy in a suit and he is the size of Santa. Big."
J "And not just anyone can be in a bunny suit and go to all the houses that do Easter, only someone magic, so there isn't anyone else that is magic like Santa."
S "And Santa isn't busy at Easter, only Christmas, so he is probably bored and that is why he started Easter Bunny stuff."
J "Prob'ly'
And they poked a hole in the validity of the Easter Bunny fable AND solidified it all at the same time.
*end scene*
So this year it got even better. Here's the scene. We are all in the car.
Me "Guys, can you believe Easter is only a couple weeks away?"
S "Yeah! I hope that Santa is rested!"
J "Yeah, cuz Mom don't you think Santa is the Easter Bunny like we do? I don't think anybody else knows that."
Me "I think you guys are on to something, but don't tell people OK? We don't want to bum them out."
Unison "K!"
Here's where it gets good….
J "It's probably harder to get around fast when you are in a bunny costume even if you are Santa and have magic."
S "There's probably a bunch of them….. -"
J "That's crazy, there is only one Santa so there can only be one Easter Bunny!" pause "Wait. Unless the Easter Bunny isn't Santa but Santa turns the reindeer into Easter Bunnies."
I kid you not.
S "Oh!!!!!" *hands in the air as if to say 'Eureka!'* "That makes sense! That's how they move so fast because they can fly! And reindeer are animals just like bunnies. Yes, that is it, we figured it out."
All on their own you guys. No, I don't feel even a little bit bad about not correcting them.

Support » Everything else WordPress » Rotating banner ad pricing
10 years, 3 months ago
I'm working on getting one or more advertisers for my blog, MonmouthParkBlog.com. My question is, does anyone have any idea how banner ad pricing works for rinky-dink sites like mine? I think $300 for a year is gonna be the price, but my fantasy would be to get at least a few more advertisers, and have it be a rotating ad, i.e. a different random one come up each time the site is hit. But obviously, each additional advertiser I get would dilute the value of existing advertisers' ads. I was thinking of saying $300, and I'll rebate (say for example) 10% if I get 5 advertisers and another 10% if I get 10. Or I guess the alternative is some form of pricing based on click-throughs, but I suspect that's more involved than I want to get with this thing. Any ideas? Thanks!

To develop a risk stratification score to predict warfarin-associated hemorrhage
Optimal decision-making regarding warfarin use for atrial fibrillation requires estimation of hemorrhage risk.
We followed 9,186 patients with atrial fibrillation contributing 32,888 person-years of follow-up on warfarin, obtaining data from clinical databases and validating hemorrhage events using medical record review. We used Cox regression models to develop a hemorrhage risk stratification score, selecting candidate variables using bootstrapping approaches. The final model was internally validated via split-sample testing and compared to six published hemorrhage risk schemes.
We observed 461 first major hemorrhages during follow-up (1.4% annually). Five independent variables were included in the final model and weighted by regression coefficients: anemia (3 points), severe renal disease (e.g., glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min or dialysis-dependent, 3 points), age ≥ 75 years (2 points), prior bleeding (1 point), and hypertension (1 point). Major hemorrhage rates ranged from 0.4% (0 points) to 17.3% per year (10 points). Collapsed into a 3-category risk score, major hemorrhage rates were 0.8% in the low risk group (0-3 points), 2.6% in intermediate risk (4 points), and 5.8% in high risk (5-10 points). The c-index for the continuous risk score was 0.74 and 0.69 for the 3-category score, higher than in the other risk schemes. There was net reclassification improvement versus all six comparators (from 27% to 56%).
A simple 5-variable risk score was effective in quantifying the risk of warfarin-associated hemorrhage in a large community-based cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation.
Oral anticoagulants such as warfarin can substantially reduce the thromboembolic consequences of atrial fibrillation(1). However, anticoagulant-associated hemorrhage deters many clinicians from prescribing warfarin(2). Accurate risk stratification according to hemorrhage risk would facilitate the anticoagulation decision for individual patients, and could help control for varying hemorrhage risk across different studies or when comparing the safety of various antithrombotic agents. We describe the development and internal validation of a new hemorrhage risk stratification tool and compare its performance to other published hemorrhage risk schemes.
The AnTicoagulation and Risk factors In Atrial fibrillation (ATRIA) study followed 13,559 adults with nonvavular, non-transient atrial fibrillation enrolled in Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, a large integrated healthcare system. Details of the cohort assembly have been described previously; briefly, subjects were identified by searching clinical databases for International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revisions, Clinical Modification (ICD-9) codes for atrial fibrillation between July 1, 1996 and December 31, 1997, and followed through September 30, 2003(3,4). Warfarin exposure was determined using a previously described and validated algorithm based on the number of days supplied per prescription, refill patterns, and intervening INR measurements(3). Clinical variables were identified using ICD-9 codes, pharmacy prescriptions, and laboratory databases(3).
We identified six published, validated risk stratification schemes developed to predict warfarin-associated hemorrhage (Table 1) and searched for those specific risk factors in the ATRIA cohort (5-10). Variables unavailable in ATRIA (e.g., patient genotype) or not directly applicable to atrial fibrillation (e.g., acute pulmonary embolism) were not included as potential variables. Prior bleeding history was defined as any prior outpatient or inpatient ICD-9 diagnosis code of hemorrhage, including by specific organ system (e.g., prior intracranial or gastrointestinal bleeding), in the aggregate (e.g., all-cause prior bleeding), and by timing (within 90 days or > 90 days). High fall risk was defined as any prior hospitalization with a discharge diagnosis code indicating mechanical fall that occurred in either the inpatient or outpatient setting.
Clinical laboratory databases were used to identify anemia (hemoglobin < 13g/dL in men and < 12 g/dL in women), thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 90,000), and renal insufficiency (measured by serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR))(11). Abnormal laboratory values were considered abnormal from 3 months prior to 1 year after the date of the measurement, censored by a preceding or subsequent normal test value. If results were unavailable within the time window, the test was assumed normal based on the assumption that tests would be ordered if there were clinical suspicions.
Clopidogrel and ticlopidine exposure was determined from pharmacy databases and duration defined from prescription start date to 2 months after the end of the medication supply. Accurate assessment of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) exposure was not possible since these medications were predominantly obtained without prescription.
We searched computerized databases for primary discharge ICD-9 codes for extracranial hemorrhages (i.e., gastrointestinal, genitourinary, retroperitoneal) and primary and secondary diagnoses of intracranial hemorrhage (intracerebral, subarachnoid, or subdural hemorrhages). Medical charts from potential hemorrhagic events were reviewed by a clinical outcomes committee using a formal study protocol. Only events that occurred during or within 5 days of preceding warfarin exposure were included. Hemorrhages not present on admission that occurred during the hospitalization or as a result of a procedure were excluded. We restricted the analysis to "major hemorrhages", defined as fatal, requiring transfusion of ≥ 2 units packed blood cells, or hemorrhage into a critical anatomic site (e.g., intracranial, retroperitoneal).
All follow-up periods on warfarin were included in the analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression models using time-varying covariates were used to examine the relationships between potential risk factors and hemorrhage outcomes with time origins set at the beginning of each follow-up period. Risk factor values were updated over follow-up with the proviso that no values were changed within seven days of an endpoint bleeding event.
The cohort was randomly divided into a split-sample "derivation" and "validation" cohort using a 2:1 ratio; models using time-varying covariates were developed in the derivation cohort and performance tested in the validation cohort. Covariates associated with major hemorrhage with a hazard ratio ≥ 1.5 were considered for potential inclusion in the final multivariable model. Since variable selection procedures may produce unstable results, we applied backward elimination selection on 1000 bootstrap samples from the derivation set, with ≥ 0.05 the significance level set for removing a variable. Final model variables were those selected in >50% of bootstrap samples(12). Model discrimination was evaluated using the c-index(13) and calibration by the goodness-of-fit test. Variables from the final multivariable Cox regression model were converted to a risk score, with points assigned to each predictor approximately proportional to the magnitude of the regression coefficients rounded to the nearest integer.
The risk score was collapsed into "low," "intermediate," and "high" risk groups based on the observed major hemorrhage rate. Since there are no definitive or clinically-determined cut-points for rates of major hemorrhage at which anticoagulation would be universally contraindicated, we chose thresholds in our point score that appeared to optimally aggregate low and high risk groups. We then applied the ATRIA model and six other risk schemes using time-varying covariates to the ATRIA cohort to compare model performance using the c-index, risk stratification capacity (the proportion of the cohort assigned to clinically meaningful risk categories), and by a recently published extension of the net reclassification improvement (NRI) metric(14). For NRI calculations, all schemes were compared using a low/intermediate/high categorization to provide a common scale. This study was approved by the respective institutional committees on human research boards.
There were 9,186 individuals in the ATRIA cohort contributing 32,888 person-years of warfarin exposure (median warfarin duration = 3.5 years [IQR: 1.2-6.0]). Because anticoagulated patients could discontinue warfarin and subsequently resume therapy, individual patients could contribute multiple periods on warfarin; 2,790 patients (30%) had > 1 period on warfarin and 709 patients (8%) had > 2 periods on warfarin.
We identified 461 validated incident warfarin-associated major hemorrhages, an annualized rate of 1.40% hemorrhages per year. The derivation cohort contained 307 major hemorrhages among 6,123 patients and the validation cohort 154 major hemorrhages among 3,063 patients.
Table 2 compares the characteristics of subjects with and without major hemorrhage in the derivation cohort. Variables associated with major hemorrhage at a hazard ratio ≥ 1.5 on bivariate analysis were considered for the final model and tested in 1000 bootstrap samples. Among the various definitions of renal disease and prior hemorrhage, "severe renal disease" (defined as eGFR < 30 mL/min or dialysis-dependent) and "any prior hemorrhage diagnosis (all-cause)" were selected over alternative definitions based on bootstrap analysis. Five final variables emerged in > 50% of bootstrap samples: anemia, severe renal disease, age ≥ 75 years, any prior hemorrhage diagnosis, and diagnosed hypertension. Based on the final model's regression coefficients, anemia and severe renal disease were assigned 3 points, age ≥ 75 years 2 points, and prior hemorrhage and diagnosed hypertension 1 point each, resulting in a risk scheme with a possible range of 0 – 10 points (Table 3).
When applied to the validation set, the model generated regression coefficients similar to those in the derivation dataset, with good discrimination (c-index 0.74 [0.70-0.78]) and acceptable calibration by the goodness-of-fit test (p = 0.29). Bleeding rates in the combined cohort ranged from 0.4% to 17.3% per year (Table 4). The continuous risk score was collapsed to a 3-category scheme, where 'low risk' (0-3 points) patients had hemorrhage rates of < 1% per year, and 'high risk' (5 – 10 points) had rates > 5% per year (Table 4). The high risk category effectively concentrated hemorrhage events such that 42% of hemorrhage events occurred in only 10.2% of cohort person-years. The vast majority of remaining patients and person-years were low risk (Figure).
Compared with other risk schemes, the ATRIA risk score had the highest c-index point estimates for both the full range of scores and the 3-category scale and identified a comparatively large proportion of the cohort as either low or high-risk (Table 5). In contrast, other risk schemes either led to much smaller fractions of the cohort categorized as high-risk or observed relatively low event rates in their high-risk category. The ATRIA scheme led to sizable net reclassification improvement when compared to all other risk schemes, ranging from 27.7% to 56.6% improvement (Table 5).
Accurate prediction of hemorrhage risk on warfarin is vital to the anticoagulation decision. Based on five easily available clinical variables, the ATRIA score reflects the experience of a large, diverse group of patients with atrial fibrillation assembled from community care and followed for a longer time period than prior studies. The model development used rigorous contemporary methods such as split-sample testing and bootstrap sampling approaches to underwrite internal validity.
When collapsed into a 3-category risk score, the ATRIA risk scheme was able to identify sizable proportions of patients who fell into the most clinically meaningful categories, i.e., low or high risk for hemorrhage. The low-risk category, accounting for 83% of follow-up, had an observed major hemorrhage rate of < 1% per year. The high-risk category represented only 10.2% of patient follow-up yet accounted for 42% of the major bleeding events. The ATRIA scheme led to improvements in accurate net reclassification when compared to alternative schemes. The c-index of 0.74, while not representing perfect discrimination, indicates good performance for a prediction model and compares favorably to other widely used risk stratification schemes such as the CHADS2 stroke risk index, which has a c-index of ~0.6(15). Certainly, identifying novel predictors of bleeding and improving current methods of risk stratification are important areas of further investigation.
The variables in our model have each been linked to increased hemorrhage risk in prior studies(5-10). Anemia was strongly associated with future bleeding risk. Although we were unable to determine the mechanism of association, anemia may reflect a predisposition to hemorrhage or recent subclinical hemorrhage. Severe renal disease was also a powerful predictor of hemorrhage risk. All-cause prior bleeding was associated with future bleeding, and presumably identifies patients with a potential bleeding lesion or diathesis. Finally, older age and hypertension were independently associated with hemorrhage risk. Similar to other hemorrhage risk schemes, this analysis focused on all-cause major hemorrhage, both intracranial and extracranial. Although intracranial hemorrhages are the most important outcomes, the rarity of such events makes their risk prediction challenging(16). High quality models to predict intracranial hemorrhage are vitally needed.
Our risk model is clinically applicable when counseling patients about the relative benefits and harms of anticoagulation. Particularly as newer, easier to administer anticoagulants become available, accurate estimates of hemorrhage risk will strongly influence the anticoagulation decision. Our risk score may not affect the anticoagulation decision for most patients at high risk for stroke, since they derive a large benefit from anticoagulation. However, bleeding risk is significantly more influential in patients at moderate or lower stroke risk. Our bleeding risk estimates can be incorporated into formal decision-analysis models or can be used to counsel individual patients about their estimated risks of stroke and bleeding. For such patients, providing estimates of the risk of bleeding on anticoagulation can be a very informative addition to individualized patient decision-making.
There are several limitations to our analysis. Our assessment of clinical risk factors was based on computerized databases that did not have information on several covariates such as measurements of blood pressure and genotype. We lacked information about non-prescription use of aspirin or NSAIDs. Although the hemorrhage rate in ATRIA was generally lower than described by the other risk schemes, the rates are similar to some recent randomized trials(17). Finally, it will be important to test the ATRIA risk scheme in a separate population. Although internal validation reduces the likelihood of chance playing a major role in development of our model, external validity needs to be tested empirically.
The risk of anticoagulant-associated hemorrhage is a major deterrent to more widespread use of anticoagulants. Risk stratification schemes can help clinicians estimate the magnitude of hemorrhage risk when prescribing or continuing anticoagulant therapy. Such schemes can also provide important information for comparing the hemorrhage risk of patients enrolled in clinical studies or when comparing the safety of different anticoagulation strategies(18).

Fishing by catamaran on the Batticaloa lagoon
Experience Overview
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: It is impossible to pass through Batticaloa without being drawn in by the impressive beauty of its largest lagoon. The city of Batticaloa sits neatly between the ocean and the Batticaloa lagoon, an estuarine body of water that has gained some recognition in Sri Lanka for its appearance in local folklore. The lagoon is said to be home to 'singing fish' who lead fisherman to their catch on dark nights. Various researchers have tried to document this strange phenomenon, but a veil of mystery and uncertainty is wrapped around the elusive singing fish of Batticaloa, making the legend all the more delicious! Whether or not you believe the stories, you can't leave Batticaloa without some talk of fish. Fishing is big business in Sri Lanka's coastal areas and the trade has been going for thousands of years with little change. Using skilled fishing techniques passed down from generation to generation and setting out on traditional catamaran boats, the fishermen of Batticaloa can be seen everywhere – drifting out to sea, lining the beaches selling their wears, hawking seafood in the bustling markets, and sailing out onto the Batticaloa lagoon in search of prawn, crab and other small freshwater fish. Get stuck right into the local livelihood as you join the fishermen for a fishing trip out on the lagoon.
EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION: As the day folds in on Batticaloa, the sunset is reflected onto the water. Mirror-like, the lagoon glistens with the orange, red, purple and peach hues of a full-bodied Sri Lankan sundown. You will take a short 5km bicycle ride down by the lagoon to visit the lighthouse area and the Mamangam Hindu temple before making your way to the water's edge to meet the fishermen. Fishermen in these areas use traditional catamaran boats for fishing. These long thin characteristic boats appear to teeter precariously on the water, but a well-placed outrigger on one side keeps them stable even against harsh winds and the iconic design has seen little change over the centuries. The boats are just big enough to squeeze your legs into, but other than that there is little space. The fishermen usually stand whilst throwing their nets into the water, and once you've been on the boat long enough to trust its balance, you'll find it quite easy to stand too. Fishermen in Batticaloa have a peculiar and distinctive way of fanning their nets out into the water. It involves a careful process of pleating the net, winding it round ones shoulders and then casting it out into the lagoon. When done correctly the net pulls in a good range of fish quite quickly. Let the fishermen teach you the process before trying it out yourself. It's highly unlikely that you'll master the technique, but you'll have a good laugh trying! If you like you can even take the fish home at the end of the experience, but do not expect to catch much. This experience is more about delving into local livelihoods and understanding traditional trades than pulling your the catch of the day.
includes: bicycle ride, entrance fees, boat ride.
duration: 3.5 hours
starting time: 2pm.
what to wear or bring along: Light, cool clothing that you don't mind getting a little mucky whilst in the boat. Comfortable shoes for cycling are also a must.
private or not? This experience is always private.
suitable for children? : Children will really enjoy the challenge of fishing and the chance to be out on the water. If children are unable to cycle, back up transport can be provided.
