At noon local time (5pm GMT) on January 20, Donald Trump will take the Oath of Office and be sworn in as America's 45th president.
The event will be presided over by Roy Blunt, a Republican senator from Missouri and chairman of Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Activities.
He will introduce Chief Justice John Roberts of the US Supreme Court who will administer the oath on the steps of the United States Capitol Building.
It will go something like this:
I Donald J Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God
Mike Pence, the vice president-elect, will take the oath shortly before Mr Trump.
Then the Herald Trumpets will perform four "Ruffles and Flourishes. The ruffles are played on drums and the flourishes on bugles, which are simple brass instruments with no valves.
The ruffles and flourishes form a fanfare before a performance of the president's anthem, "Hail to the Chief", and the vice-president's anthem, "Hail, Columbia". There is then a 21-gun salute from the howitzers of the military district of Washington.

London, December 8 (ANI): A new study has suggested that the asteroid impact that ended the age of dinosaurs 65 million years ago didn't incinerate life on our planet's surface, but just broiled it.
The impact of a 10-kilometre asteroid is blamed for the extinction of the dinosaurs and most other species on the planet.
Early computer models showed that more than half of the debris blasted into space by the impact would fall into the atmosphere within eight hours.
The models predicted the rain of shock-heated debris would radiate heat as intensely as an oven set to "broil" (260 degree Celsius) for at least 20 minutes, and perhaps a couple of hours. ntense heating for that long would heat wood to its ignition temperature, causing global wildfires.
Yet some species survived, and the global layer of impact debris doesn't contain as much soot as would be expected from burning the world's forests, raising questions about the extent of post-impact wildfires.
According to a report in New Scientist, to explain the discrepancy, Tamara Goldin of the University of Vienna and Jay Melosh of Purdue University in Indiana studied how ejecta falling through the atmosphere might affect heat transfer from the top of the atmosphere to the ground.
Earlier models considered only how atmospheric greenhouse gases would absorb heat.
The study reveals that the first debris to re-enter the atmosphere just a few minutes after the impact helped protect the surface from the debris that followed.
"The actual ejecta themselves were getting in the way of the thermal radiation [in the atmosphere] and shielding the Earth," Goldin told New Scientist.
As a result, the surface felt the full heat from the sky for only a few minutes.
As more particles drifted down, they blocked more and more of the heat from above, preventing the world's forests from igniting.
"With the short pulse (of intense heat), it's really hard to get ignition" far from the impact site, according to Goldin.
Surface life would have been broiled, but not burnt to a crisp.
Animals that were able to take refuge underground or in the water were likely able to survive the short period of intense heat, explaining why not all life was killed. (ANI)

Photorefractive keratectomy
|The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Photorefractive keratectomy
Photorefractive keratectomy at U.S. Naval Medical Center San Diego.
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratectomy (or laser epithelial keratomileusis[1]) (LASEK) are laser eye surgery procedures intended to correct a person's vision, reducing dependency on glasses or contact lenses. LASEK and PRK permanently change the shape of the anterior central cornea using an excimer laser to ablate (remove by vaporization) a small amount of tissue from the corneal stroma at the front of the eye, just under the corneal epithelium. The outer layer of the cornea is removed prior to the ablation. A computer system tracks the patient's eye position 60 to 4,000 times per second, depending on the brand of laser used, redirecting laser pulses for precise placement. Most modern lasers will automatically center on the patient's visual axis and will pause if the eye moves out of range and then resume ablating at that point after the patient's eye is re-centered.
The outer layer of the cornea, or epithelium, is a soft, rapidly regrowing layer in contact with the tear film that can completely replace itself from limbal stem cells within a few days with no loss of clarity, the deeper layers of the cornea, as opposed to the outer epithelium, are laid down early in life and have very limited regenerative capacity. The deeper layers, if reshaped by a laser or cut by a microtome, will remain that way permanently with only limited healing or remodelling, with PRK, the corneal epithelium is removed and discarded, allowing the cells to regenerate after the surgery. The procedure is distinct from LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis), a form of laser eye surgery where a permanent flap is created in the deeper layers of the cornea.
Up to 80% of the myopic population may physically qualify for PRK.[citation needed] There are a number of basic criteria which a person should satisfy:[citation needed]
- Normal ocular health
- Age 18 years or older
- Stable refraction error (no noticeable change in the last year) correctable to 20/40 or better
- Between −1.00 to −12.00 diopters of Myopia
- Not pregnant at the time of surgery
- Realistic expectations of the final results (with a complete understanding of the benefits, as well as the possible risks)
- Pupil size 6 mm or less in a dark room is ideal (but some newer lasers may be acceptable for larger pupils)
- Assessment of allergies, (e.g., pollen) where allergy may complicate the eyelid margins following surgery leading to dry eye.
There are also some pre-existing conditions that may complicate or preclude the treatment.[citation needed]
- Collagen vascular disease (e.g., corneal ulceration or melting)
- Ocular disease (e.g., dry eye, keratoconus, glaucoma)
- Systemic disorders (e.g., diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis)
- History of side effects from steroids
- Granular corneal dystrophy type II
Possible complications[edit]
Some complications that can be temporary or permanent include:
- Dry eyes[2]
- Recurrent erosions during sleep
- Long healing period
- Pain[3]
- Glare, halos, or starburst aberrations
- Increased ocular straylight
- Under- or overcorrection
- Recurrence of myopia
- Corneal haze
- Scarring
- Reduced best corrected visual acuity
- Reduced acuity in low light
- Increased sensitivity
Dry eyes[edit]
As with other forms of refractive surgery, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, colloquially referred to as 'dry eye,' is the most common complication of PRK, and can be permanent; in more advanced cases, recurrent erosions occur during sleeping from adherence of the corneal epithelium to the upper eyelid with rapid eye movement. Adjuvant polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with high Omega-3 content before and after surgery improves sicca, possibly due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Foods containing PUFAs include flax and fish oil.[4] Brush PRK to denude the epithelium, instead of alcohol based techniques, also result in quantitatively lower ocular dryness after surgery, the amount of corneal hazing after surgery is also decreased with brush technique.[5] The platelet activating factor LAU-0901 has shown effect in mitigating dry eye in mouse models.[6] Rabbit models have also shown improvement with topical nerve growth factor (NGF) in combination with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).[7] Mitomycin C worsens post-surgical dry eye.[8]
PRK may be performed on one eye at a time to assess the results of the procedure and ensure adequate vision during the healing process. Activities requiring good binocular vision may have to be suspended between surgeries and during the sometimes extended healing periods.
Halos, starbusts and refractive errors[edit]
PRK can be associated with glare, halos, and starburst aberrations, which can occur with postoperative corneal haze during the healing process. Night halos are seen more often in revisions with small ablation zone size,[9] with more recent developments in laser technology, this is less common after 6 months though symptoms can persist beyond a year in some cases.[citation needed] A dilute concentration of the chemotherapeutic agent, Mitomycin-C, can be applied briefly at the completion of surgery to reduce risk of hazing, although with increased risk of sicca.[8]
Predictability of the resulting refractive correction after healing is not totally exact, particularly for those with more severe myopia, this can lead to under/overcorrection of the refractive error. In the case of the overcorrection, premature presbyopia is a possibility. Experienced surgeons employ a custom-profile algorithm to further enhance predictability in their results.
In 1 to 3% of cases, loss of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) can result, due to decentered ablative zones or other surgical complications. PRK results in improved BCVA about twice as often as it causes loss. Decentration is becoming less and less of a problem with more modern lasers using sophisticated eye centering and tracking methods.
Comparison to LASIK[edit]
A systematic review that compared PRK and LASIK concluded that LASIK has shorter recovery time and less pain,[10] the two techniques after a period of one year have similar results.[10]
When LASEK is compared to LASIK, LASIK has better outcomes with corneal haze while LASEK has a lower rate of flap complications than LASIK.[11]
A 2016 systematic review found that it was unclear whether there were any differences in efficacy, accuracy, and adverse effects when comparing PRK and LASEK procedures among people with low to moderate myopia,[12] the review stated that no trials have been conducted comparing the two procedures on people with high myopia.[12]
A 2017 systematic review found uncertainty in visual acuity, but found that in one study, those receiving PRK were less likely to achieve a refractive error, and were less likely to have an over-correction than compared to LASIK.[13]
- Alcohol assisted PRK
- Transepithelial PRK (TransPRK)
- ASA (Advanced Surface Ablation) LASEK
Uses Amoils Brush and gas cooling to reduce the pain
Uses mitomycin in an attempt to reduce post-operative haze but is of dubious effectiveness.[14] Possible long-term side effects are unknown.[15]
Operation of an aircraft is a visually demanding activity performed in an environment that is not always user friendly. Currently, over 50% of the civilian pilot population uses some form of visual correction. Aviators considering PRK should know that clinical trials claiming success rates of 90% or higher are based on criteria of patients' post-operative refractive errors of 20/40 or better, not 20/20 or better, uncorrected visual acuity.[citation needed]
Some PRK patients have reported dissatisfaction with their vision under low ambient lighting (dusk/nighttime) conditions. Pilots who experience postoperative vision problems could be further compromised by the variations in lighting common to the aviation environment; in addition, exposure to intense UV radiation has been associated with late-onset corneal haze and recurrence of myopia.[citation needed]
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration will consider applicants with PRK once they are fully healed and stabilized, provided there are no complications and all other visual standards are met. Pilots should be aware, however, that potential employers, such as commercial airlines and private companies, may have policies that consider refractive surgery a disqualifying condition. Also, civilians who wish to fly military aircraft should know that there are restrictions on those who have had corrective surgery, the Army now permits flight applicants who have undergone PRK or LASIK. Uncomplicated, successful corneal refractive surgery does not require a waiver and is noted as information only. [16]
The Navy and Marines will routinely grant a waiver for pilots or student naval aviators, as well as naval flight officers, UAS operators and aircrew, to fly after PRK and LASIK, assuming preoperative refractive standards are met, no complications in the healing process were encountered, asymptomatic with regard to significant haloes, glare or dry eye, off all medications, and passing their standard vision tests; in one study, 967 of 968 naval aviators having PRK returned to duty involving flying after the procedure. In fact, the U.S. Navy now offers free PRK and LASIK surgery at the National Naval Medical Center to Naval Academy Midshipmen who intend to pursue career paths requiring good uncorrected vision, including flight school and special operations training.[citation needed]
The U.S. Air Force approves the use of PRK and LASIK,[17] since 2000 the USAF has conducted PRK for aviators at the Wilford Hall Medical Center. More airmen were allowed over the years and in 2004 the USAF approved Lasik for aviators, with limits on the type of aircraft they could fly. Then in 2007 those limits were lifted.[18] Most recently in 2011 the USAF expanded the program, making it easier for more airmen to qualify for the surgery. Current airmen (Active Duty and Air Reserve Components who are eligible) are authorized surgery at any DOD Refractive Surgery Center, those airmen not eligible, are still able to get the surgery done at their own expense by a civilian surgeon, but must first be approved (Approval is based on the same USAF-RS program[19]). Others that do not fall into those categories (i.e. applicants who are seeking a pilot slot) can still elect to have the surgery done, but must follow the criteria in accordance with the USAF Waiver Guide.[20] Those applicants will be evaluated at the ACS during their Medical Flight Screening appointment to determine if they meet waiver criteria. Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the references contained within this article as information obtained from sources other than those listed could lead to disqualification for a pilot candidate.[citation needed]
In the majority of patients, PRK has proven to be a safe and effective procedure for the correction of myopia. PRK is still evolving with other countries currently using refined techniques and alternative procedures. Many of these procedures are under investigation in the U.S. Given that PRK is not reversible, a patient considering PRK is recommended to contact an eye-care practitioner for assistance in making an informed decision concerning the potential benefits and liabilities that may be specific to him or her.[citation needed]
In the U.S.A. candidates who have had PRK can get a blanket waiver for the Special Forces Qualification, Combat Diving Qualification and Military Free Fall courses. PRK and LASIK are both waived for Airborne, Air Assault and Ranger schools. However, those who have had LASIK must enroll in an observational study, if a slot is available, to undergo training in Special Forces qualification. LASIK is disqualifying/non-waiverable for several United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) schools (HALO, SCUBA, SERE) per Army Regulation 40-501.[21]
The first PRK procedure was performed in 1987 by Dr. Theo Seiler, then at the Free University Medical Center in Berlin, Germany.[22] The first procedure similar to LASEK was performed at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in 1996 by ophthalmologist, refractive surgeon, Dimitri Azar.[23] Dr. Massimo Camellin, an Italian surgeon, was the first to write a scientific publication about the new surgical technique in 1998, coining the term LASEK for laser epithelial keratomileusis.[24]

COSTA MESA – A man was taken to a hospital after a fire broke out at a medical plaza early Saturday morning, officials said.
At 3:53 a.m., police officers and firefighters responded to a call of "unknown trouble" reported by a hysterical male at 3140 Red Hill Ave. near John Wayne Airport. They discovered a fire at Red Hill Medical Plaza with four men inside the building.
Firefighters rescued one man from the roof. They also found a man in his 40s suffering from smoke inhalation in the second floor hallway and transported him to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, said fire Capt. Chris Coates.
The two other men escaped from the building on their own, Coates said.
Firefighters brought the fire under control in about an hour.
The fire started in a suite on the second floor of the building. The Costa Mesa Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire.
The building suffered an estimated $150,000 to $200,000 in fire and water damages, mostly on the second floor, Coates said.

How to Maintain a Mountain Bikefrom wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Here is some advice to help you keep your mountain bike in peak condition - it is a good idea to try to follow these steps after every ride. The article covers the whole bike from saddle to brakes, to help you methodically follow through the checks. The whole process should take about 35 - 40 minutes, once you are familiar with it.
- Remove accessories on the
top of the handlebar. This includes the lights, bell, etc. If your
bike has V brakes, release the brake [cables]. [Starting with the front
brake], push the two brake calipers into the rim of the wheel to release
the tension from the cable. Then lift the brake cable up out of the
retaining clip and repeat with the rear brake cable.
- Turn the bike upside-down.
To protect your grips and saddle, lay out an old towel or something
similar on the ground (or fork out the hundred bucks or so for a repair
stand). Standing beside your bike, lean over it and grip the frame with
your hands - one hand on the down tube at the front and the other hand on
the seat post at the rear of the frame. Then lift up the bike and turn it
- Alternate method:
Hang the bike from the saddle. To protect the underside of your
saddle, pad the tree branch, rafter, etc. Hanging the bike right-side-up
is a better method as the chain sits in a specific location due to
gravity pulling it down.
- Another Alternate
Method: String it up. Hang the bike from a balcony by stringing rope
around the handle bars, up to the balcony, and down around the seat stay.
- Turn the pedals to move the chain round and, holding a wet soapy rag around the chain on the rear derailleur, give it a good wash down.
- Use the brush with plenty of water to clean the chain ring (the front cog where the pedals attach). Then give it a wipe down with a dry cloth.
- Taking a wet rag, wash the pedals and then wash the cranks (the bars that hold the pedals on).
- Finally, clean the front gear mechanism, working the rag into all the moving parts to clean them thoroughly.
- Wash the handlebars with a soapy rag, paying particular attention to the brake lever and gear assembly.
- Using a damp rag, wash the top tube or crossbar, making sure to clean under the brake and gear cables that run down its length.
- Finally, clean the underside of the saddle.
- Drop the front wheel back into the forks and tighten the quick release - not too tight, not too loose. When you have tightened the lever to the correct pressure, the quick release will leave a mark on your palm for a few seconds. If you need to adjust the tension of the quick release, turn the nut on the far side of the axle clockwise to tighten it, or anticlockwise for less tension.
- Take the rear wheel and clean the rims, spokes, axle and rear disk rotor if you have one, as you did with the front wheel.
- Clean the gear cassette on the rear wheel carefully. Use the lever end of the bike brush to remove any stones between the teeth, then work the brush into the cogs, using plenty of soapy water. This will remove any build-up of lubricant or dirt.
- Drop the rear wheel back into the frame, easing the gear cassette back into the derailleur assembly. Tighten the quick release.
- If you have disc brakes, also check both sides of the rotors on each wheel for true. Make sure it looks smooth and straight. Do not touch the rotor.
- If you have V brakes, watch the wheel while its spinning, to make sure that the brake blocks do not make contact with the rims.
- Check the spokes by turning the front wheel slowly and letting your hand fall over each spoke as the wheel rotates. Every spoke should feel taut but if one feels sloppy, it will need tightening.
- While the bike is still upside down, check the tire pressure and that both tires are in good condition. If you find any major damage, replace the tire before your next ride.
- Turn a pedal to rotate the crank and listen out for any noise or signs of wear from the bottom bracket (the assembly that holds the cranks and chain ring in place). If you find any, it will need further maintenance.
- Check the front gear mechanism. Turn the pedal and move the chain up and down the gears using the gear lever. Youre looking and listening for signs of snagging, which happen when the mechanism is misaligned and needs adjusting. Do a similar check with the rear derailleur and gear cogs.
- Using a clean rag and soapy water, wash the handlebars and the headset (the part where the handlebars meet the frame). Take care to clean well around the brake and gear levers. Wash the tops of the forks on the front wheel and, if you have front shocks, give the seals a good wipe down.
- Moving to the centre of the bike, clean the down tube and the top tube or crossbar.
- Open the quick release to remove the saddle. Wash the saddle tube and the seat post on the frame, then remount the saddle, tighten the quick release and give the saddle a wipe over.
- Finally, clean the seat stays (the two tubes that join the seat post to the rear axle) and wash around the bottom bracket.
- Do the same test with the back brake. When the brake is applied, the rear wheel shouldnt turn round and if you keep pulling, it should skid. If not, the rear brake will need adjusting.
- Also, look at the brake levers - the brakes should start to grip at about 1/3 pull. The levers should not touch the handlebars. If they do, your brakes need adjusting.
- If you have disc brakes, check that they are in good condition by standing in front of the bike and looking down inside the disk brake caliper (the bit that fits around the brake rotor). Apply the front brake and you should see both brake pads move across equally to clamp the rotor. If they dont, this indicates a problem. Repeat the above test with the rear disk brake, standing where you can see down into the rear caliper.
- If you have V brakes, check the brake blocks for signs of wear. They should be free of graphite build-up, and the grooves in the pad should be deep; otherwise, theyll need replacing.
- With V brakes, also check both brake cables for signs of wear or fraying. Start at the brake levers on the handlebars. Follow the cables along the top tube, then check the other end of both cables where they meet the brake calipers. If you find any signs of wear or fraying in your brake cables, they will need replacing.
- Rotate the pedal anticlockwise to move the chain around. Holding the spray lubricant vertically, spray the chain for a few seconds as it passes over the rear gear cogs.
- Moving the chain with the pedal, spray the teeth on the inside of the chain ring near the cranks. Rotate the pedal again and finally, lube the outside of the chain ring in the same way.
- Attach a bike tool kit on your bike for every time you ride - it could save you a whole lot of time and frustration. Items should include: A bike specific multi-tool, an extra tube (store in an old sock to use the sock to work on your bike to keep your hands clean), tire levers, and a CO2 inflater if you dont have a pump.
- To fix any problems with your wheels, you need specialist equipment, so visit your local bike shop for professional maintenance.
- Try using a leaf blower on low setting (if available) in conjunction with a dry cloth to remove excess water after cleaning your bike, making sure your bike is secure before attempting this method.
- If you ride your bike with a misaligned gear mechanism or derailleur, the chain can easily jump off the cogs.
- Never let your brake pads wear down to the point where they scrape the rims.
- Dont ride with dim lights - replace the batteries if necessary.
- Using water on many of the parts listed above is likely to cause rust.
Things You Will Need
- 1 bike-mounted tool bag
- 1 tyre (tire) lever set
- 2 replacement inner tubes
- 1 puncture kit
- 1 chain splitter
- few spare chain links
- 1 folding Allen wrench and screwdriver set
- 1 spoke adjuster
- 1 shock pump
- 1 spray bike lubricant
- 1 bucket of warm soapy water
- 1 combination bike brush
- 1 wet rag
- 1 dry cloth
