The dietary regime plays a vital role in controlling high blood pressure. Apart from the food, the timings of the food are also important for you. Food discipline is a part of your life. You need to regularize the plan, by consulting with your dietitian.
These are some useful tips which helps you to form a healthy diet chart.
1. The finest way is to depend upon salads, green vegetables and fruits. Tomatoes are very effective in controlling high blood pressure.
2. Eat food that is low in cholesterol and fat. Instead of depending upon spices heavily, use herbs as well. You need to depend upon vegetarian food, even though there is no bar on light non-vegetarian food like fish which has high nutritional value.
3. Cereals have no bar for blood pressure patients, but try to take sprouted ones. They are easy to digest and rich in the fiber content. This is important as it helps you to stay away from constipation.
The blood pressure patients should never suffer from constipation. Proper digestion is the most important measure. Impurities within the system means impurities in the blood. Anything that obstructs the free flow of blood in the arteries and veins is going to cause great problems of blood pressure.
4. Make potassium an essential part of your diet. To manage blood pressure you need to have right level of potassium in your food. Include plenty of fruits in your diet.
5. There are many vegetables which are best blood-purifiers. Carrot is one such food which helps you to maintain your blood pressure level.
6. Regular consumption of honey early in the morning that too empty stomach, with a little bit of lime juice in it adds support to blood pressure patients.
7. And last but not the least, choose the food items that are low in salt and sodium. Most of the Americans eat very much salt than required. So have a consult with your doctor and sort out some solution to cut out the abundance use of salt from your diet.

Unanswered: Simple Table - Complex Data Manipulation
My first post - hope it's not too much:
I have an Excel table with three columns: Part number, Description and price. Here are the challenges and what I need to do:
- First, some of the items are universal across multiple main products. They are replacement parts for appliances. In other words, one part number might be uses on 5 different models, but it's the same part number and called the same thing in it's description. I have the table broken up by " sub-sections, eg; there are sub-headers at intervals where each model the item pertains to... it looks something like this:
Model "A"
# Descr Price
123 Widget for extrusion $23.00
WP277 Brass Nut $ 1.00
Model "16"
# Descr Price
123 Widget for extrusion $23.00
AG133 Wing Nut $ 2.00
So, there are duplicates that have to be purged but, before I make them all unique records, I want to first re-label the descriptions to reflect what models of appliances they are applicable to, then extract those records to a separate table. I need all of the "Universal" items in one table, "Model 'A' " specific items in one table, "Model '16' " in another, etc.
Is there a quick and easy way to manipulate the descriptions, or do I need to manually edit the descriptions and then eliminate the duplicates?
Do I need to create separate worksheets to separate the Items by model or is there a way to have the data imported into different tables from one spreadsheet?
It's been 10 years since I have been in school, and I don't work with VB or even Access on a regular basis --- basically, I am a novice. Any help would be appreciated.I'm Old, I'm Grumpy, and I have no clue what I'm doing

What you have is a many-to-many relationship. It describes how models relate to parts. For example, one model has may parts, and one part is used for many models (not all parts but if there is one part then it works as a many to many). In order to properly create that type of relationship you will need three tables in Access.
One table will be for models, one for parts and one for model parts. The tables might look like:
I think it would be a mistake to have different descriptions for the same part. How would you then inventory that part? If you have one entry in the Part table changing the price becomes easier (one update, not several). That is one of the keys to relational databases (no repeated data, if you need to update, you should only have to update once).
As far as setting this data up in Access from an Excel spreadsheet, it sounds like it will be some manual manipulation. You should be able to get all of your parts into the parts table by linked to a spreadsheet that has several worksheets(one for each model) and adding the parts to the table. BUt the models seem like that have to be manual and the model parts will have to be manual.

The suggestion is clear to the other two operators who, failover to 4G requires a SIM change. But what the operator's customer service fails to say is even 4G technology is enabled on the same chip found in your mobile phone, it is not certain that it can withstand this technology. Many phones of the current fleet are not compatible with this technology.
Indeed one of the reasons that explain the delay of the incumbent in the launch of 4G is disagree with a commercial supplier. "The Chinese Huawei was about to sign with Morocco Telecom for 4G phones and keys, but the deal would have fallen into the water at the last moment", says an industry specialist. But this would not be the only reason: Morocco Telecom also lagging in its facilities in the major cities of the Kingdom, including Casablanca, Rabat and Tangier. "We are the first surprised at the lack of responsiveness of Morocco Telecom, explains the head of a competing company. Given its size and its striking force, we thought that Morocco Telecom would be the first operator to launch 4G. That makes at least one year its officers constantly rehashing they are willing to activate this service.
We must therefore believe that Morocco Telecom is now only a shadow of itself. Taken aback by his challengers, the company has proved itself responsive. Now that its historical monopoly is fast dismantling, its capacity for innovation remains limited to promotional offers which have no effect as cut prices and destroy wealth. We probably expected better from a company of this size is expected to flood the market innovation.
This hold-up is the delight of competitors. The Meditel as Inwi shops are always full of customers who want to switch to 4G and are even willing to renew their contracts for mobile devices compatible with 4G.

Video conferencing has been around for decades, but it's not until recently that the benefits of a proper premium video conferencing service could be felt and used throughout small, medium and large enterprises alike. Gone are the days where cumbersome video equipment and dozens of ports and cables were needed to allow proper video calls and conferences to be held. Gone are the days where the need for a dedicated conference room was, well, a need.
Nowadays, all you need is any form of computer – from your own workstation's office tower, to the smartphone in your pocket. With the right top-of-the-line business video conferencing software like BlueJeans, you won't just be able to perform video calls with middling image quality and barely any features – instead, you'll be able to launch calls including several hundred members, with high quality screen sharing, cloud-based file sharing, the latest in encryption-based cyber security, and half a dozen other enterprise solutions.
While all that is fine and dandy, the ultimate question is this: why should you incorporate video conferencing into your business' day-to-day workflow? And subsequently – how should you do it? That's what we'll be exploring today.
Supercharge Your Company Meetings
The first benefit to video conferencing technology at the scale and level it has achieved today is actually a two-birds-one-stone scenario. Conferencing tech will eliminate the wasted time spent in countless useless meetings, while giving you the tools and framework to create highly efficient, cohesive and "supercharged" meetings. Now you may be wondering: what exactly does that mean, though?
It all starts with the numbers. Company employees have reported performing a number of unrelated tasks while meetings are on-going – from reading emails, to daydreaming, and even falling asleep as per Atlassian. Clearly, something's wrong. Video conferencing can help fix it.
But the keyword here is "help" – there are still a few steps you have to take outside of technological implementations before you can really call your next meeting a success. Meetings typically go wrong because of the same reason: they have no actual purpose. People get together, there's some talking, a few announcements, and presto, you have a waste of time. To run an effective meeting, you need to make sure of several things.
- Choose a succinct, single goal. Before you begin a meeting, figure out what single-sentence question you want answered. Do you have an announcement to make regarding client feedback for a certain project? If so, focus on turning the meeting into a brainstorming session and decision making process for how to proceed. The term of importance here is decision making – you don't want your meeting to be incomplete.
- Set a schedule, and be strict with it. The most challenging part of a meeting is keeping it from getting too long. To do that, you need to set a timer and follow it strictly. Unless renewed through new stimuli, the human mind typically shuts off and tunes out after about 45 minutes of sitting in a meeting. The sweet spot is within 25 minutes. Keep you meetings to roughly half an hour.
- Give everyone a chance to contribute. After you've talked your piece, allow others to jump in and explain what they think is the best course of action.
- However, discourage ramblings. But if someone decides to take up several minutes for their input, cut them short and remind them of the time constraints.
- Finally, recap. Use the last five minutes in the meeting to go over what has been decided and/or accomplished.
Video conferencing, however, can take your meetings to the next level. Say goodbye to meeting rooms, which risk taking your employees out of their mental working zone. Say goodbye to cumbersome video installations when talking with departments overseas. Say goodbye to the logistics of giving everyone a voice in a large meeting, where a video conference gives everyone equal space and volume.
Make Customer Follow Ups More Personal
In the world of leads and potential loyal customers, one underutilized business practice is customer follow up. If someone availed of your product or service, then make sure to give them some form of communication some time afterwards to freshen up the relationship. As per Strategize Your Success, following up on a client can make them feel appreciated.
Invite them to a large scale video conference between customers for a Q&A session or a poll on product opinions, or simply invite them to talk to you about the product or service and offer some simple suggestions.
Revolutionize Your Customer Service
A good business is lost without the ability to properly help its customers. Not only should you be able to address a customer's question or plea in a timely fashion – you should be able to do so while proving that you care about the customer's dilemma or situation. And there's no better way to do so than by starting a video call with an actual human being, rather than a simple call center redirect or virtual text-based help desk.

622-18 Clearing Schoolhouse Mural.tif

This mural was painted by Door County artist, Ram Rojas, and was unveiled and dedicated on September 10, 2010, as part of The Clearing's 75th anniversary celebration. It is a recreation of a mural that graced this wall many years ago. Sometime between the late 1930s and the mid-1940s, Clearing founder, Jens Jensen, commissioned Vladimir Rousseff to paint a mural in the
Schoolhouse. A Bulgarian-born artist who had made a name for himself in Chicago, Rousseff came to Fish Creek in the 1930s, where he painted and taught art. He had the honor of being one of the depression-era Works Project Administration (WPA) muralists. His murals can be seen in post offices in Kaukauna and Edgerton, Wisconsin and in Ironwood, Michigan. The mural Rousseff painted at The Clearing portrayed a shepherd playing
his flute next to a stream, with sheep grazing nearby. It had a distinct European style, which likely would have appealed to Jensen, who was born and raised in Denmark. For unknown reasons, the mural was painted over within a few years of Jensen's death in 1951. The wall on which the hidden mural resided was then destroyed by a fire in 1981. In 2009, The Clearing obtained a color image of the original mural from
the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Ram Rojas used this image as a guide to recreate the mural.
Artist's Statement: Ram Rojas: The mural has returned to life through my hands, using information found in archives. Historic references served as signposts for style and composition. The project had much personal appeal for me: the theme, the riangular shape and the fact that it was part of a place that has
fascinated me since my arrival in Door County. The Clearing expresses so well my own beliefs concerning the use of nature as a model. I was born in South America, and have a great affinity for the natural environment. I also lived in Europe, where I enjoyed rural places similar to the one depicted in this painting. While I was a student and teacher in Italy, Franc

TOP FUEL E2 (1:15 p.m): Don Schumacher Racing entries comprise three-fourths of the semifinal pairings after another quick round of racing, but it's the fourth member of that quartet -- Doug Kalitta – who again had low e.t. of the round, powering the Mac Tools dragster to his fifth straight 3.6-second clocking, a 3.687 to defeat Terry McMillen. Tony Schumacher was the quickest of the DSR trio with a 3.697 in besting tire-smoking Brittany Force and will have lane choice over Leah Pritchett (3.707) while Kalitta will pick his round over Antron Brown, who beat rookie Troy Coughlin Jr. on a holeshot, 3.73 to 3.72.

Hagan has lane choice thanks to his 3.882 that was the quickest time of the round. On the other side of things, it will be a father-daughter battle with John and Courtney Force squaring off. John has lane choice thanks to a 3.884. [Complete results]
Semifinal pairings (lane choice first): Matt Hagan vs. Ron Capps and John Force vs. Courtney Force
PRO STOCK E2 (1:45 p.m.): It will be Erica Enders vs. the KB Racing trio to decide who will win the first Wally of the season. Enders defeated the fellow Elite-powered entry of Vincent Nobile to earn a spot in the final four. She is joined by reigning world champ Jason Line, who again had the quickest time of the round with a 6.558, Greg Anderson and Bo Butner. [Complete results]
Semifinal pairings (lane choice first): Jason Line vs. Bo Butner and Greg Anderson vs. Erica Enders
TOP ALCOHOL FUNNY CAR SEMIFINALS (2:15 p.m.): D.J. Cox went on a wild ride during his semifinal match against Shane Westerfield. When Cox, who was in the left lane, hit the throttle on Tony Bartone's flopper, his car made a sharp turn to the right, sending him towards the centerline. After crossing the centerline, Cox's car swung around and was headed straight for the wall in his original lane. Cox was able to pull the car back around and moving more downtrack, but the back end continued to sashay, and it ultimately hit the guardwall. Westerfield, meanwhile, made a clean 5.45 to advance to the final against reigning national champ Jonnie Lindberg, who is driving for Jay Payne this weekend. [animated gif]
TOP FUEL SEMIFINALS (2:35 p.m.): Leah Pritchett will have lane choice in the final round when she takes on Doug Kalitta after each ran in the 3.6-second zone in their semifinal conquests. Pritchett delivered her Papa John's dragster to the finale, just the third of her young Top Fuel career, by outrunning Tony Schumacher with a 3.687 while Kalitta reached his 88th career final round by stopping the man who beat him for last year's world championship, Antron Brown, with a 3.698. Kalitta, winner of the Auto Club NHRA Finals, has now won seven straight rounds at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.
FUNNY CAR SEMIFINALS (2:50 p.m.): The first Funny Car Wally and NHRA Traxxas Nitro Shootout spot of the 2017 season will go to either Courtney Force or Matt Hagan. Force defeated father John in a great 3.87 to 3.88 semifinal bout to earn a spot in the final round and lane choice for that title round. Hagan's path to the final was much more wild. First, teammate Ron Capps went red, seemingly handing the match to Hagan. However, Hagan's entry lost cylinders midway through the pass, and that shot him to the centerline. Hagan got extremely close to crossing the centerline and being disqualified, but after a close review by trackside officials, it was determined that while Hagan touched the centerline, he did not cross it, so he advanced to the final.

PRO STOCK SEMIFINALS (2:55 p.m.): It's a bit of déjà vu in Pro Stock at the Circle K NHRA Winternationals because Greg Anderson and Jason Line are again the final two racers standing at the season opener. Anderson won the intramural battle last year, but Line has a good chance to exact a little revenge on his teammate because Line has had the quickest car of every round of competition. Line posted a 6.55 in his win against fellow-KB Racing entry Bo Butner in the semifinals, while Anderson ran 6.57 to defeat Erica Enders.
TOP FUEL HARLEY FINAL: Jay Turner, near lane, became the first Top Fuel Harley winner of the season, clinching the title on Rickey House's final-round red-light. Turner zipped to a 6.276 at 218.23 mph while House invalidated a 6.698 pass with a -.028 foul start.
PRO STOCK FINAL (3:40 p.m.): Last season, Greg Anderson defeated Jason Line to win the Circle K NHRA Winternationals and take the early points lead. One year later, Line, near lane, was able to exact a little revenge, topping his teammate to win his fifth Winternationals Wally. Line had the best car of race day, pacing every round of competition, including a 6.56 in the final. That strong run paired with a killer .005 light proved too much for Anderson, who finished second with a .056-initiated 6.57. Line's season-opening win extends Line's streak of winning at least one race each season to 14 consecutive years, the longest streak of any competitor among the three full-time Pro classes. This was Line's 46th Pro Stock victory and 48th overall.
FUNNY CAR FINAL (3:50 p.m.): Matt Hagan, far lane, earned the first Wally of the season and is the first driver to make the NHRA Traxxas Nitro Shootout field after besting Courtney Force in the final. Hagan got off the starting line first in the Don Schumacher Racing vs. John Force Racing bout and never trailed, crossing the finish line with a 3.87 to the 3.90 of Force. This is the 23rd win of Hagan's career and his second at the Winternationals.
TOP FUEL FINAL (3:55 p.m.): Leah Pritchett became the 40th Winternationals Top Fuel champ and joined Shirley Muldowney, Shelly Anderson, Lori Johns, and Melanie Troxel as female Top Fuel winners of the season opener when she defeated tire-smoking Doug Kalitta for the victory. Pritchett's 3.711 winner also helped complete a hat trick of low qualifier winners as fellow polesitters Matt Hagan (Funny Car) and Jason Line (Pro Stock) also won; that's the first time it's ever happened at the Winternationals. With Hagan's win, it also marked Don Schumacher Racing's first double win at the season opener. DSR now has 61 career double victories.
LUCAS OIL FINALS (5 p.m.): Ed Olpin became the 21st driver in NHRA history to double up at a national event, scoring wins in Super Gas and Top Sportsman. It was the 34th overall double ever recorded. Olpin first turned on the win light in Super Gas, using a .009 light and 9.886 to defeat Robert Naber's further-under 9.882. Olpin then completed the double when he bested Jeff Gillette in the Top Sportsman title round. Olpin and Gillette cut identical .013 lights and were side by side all the way downtrack, crossing the stripe just .001-second apart in a 6.97 (6.96 dial) to 6.93 (6.92) contest.
In the alcohol categories, Joey Severance and Shane Westerfield came out on top. Two-time, defending Top Alcohol Dragster national champion Severance began his title defense on a high note, defeating Garrett Bateman in that class' final, 5.21 to 5.48. Westerfield got the automatic nod in the Top Alcohol Funny Car final when reigning, two-time national champ Jonnie Lindberg went red by .002-second. That proved to be a lucky break for Westerfield, whose car had troubles downtrack and slowed to a 6.65. In other action, Doug Lambeck used a perfect .000 light to Clint Neff in Comp, Justin Lamb bested Timothy Fletcher in Super Stock, Jerry Emmons defeated Justin Jerome to win Stock, Steve Williams got around Dave Alves to win his second straight Winternationals Super Comp Wally, and Mike Coughlin won Top Dragster, defeating Andy Spiegel in the final.
Troy Coughlin Jr. earned his first round win in his first start, beating Shawn Reed in round one with a career-best 3.72 and even though he lost in round two on a painful holeshot to reigning world champ Antron Brown, he has impressed crew chief Rob Flynn, who's tuning the car solo this weekend with phone-in input from team owner Connie Kalitta.
"He's still learning how to drive the car, but he's doing a great job," said Flynn. "Most other cars in drag racing leave hard and then the acceleration tapers off as you go down the track, but not these fuel cars. They may look easy to drive, but they're not. You really have to stay on top of what the car is doing. The guys who are good at this make it look easy, but they're really hard to drive well."
Coughlin had never staged next to another driver until the second qualifying session (he had a solo in Q1) but ran alongside teammate Doug Kalitta in Q3 and Tony Schumacher in Q4 – pretty good company. Despite the pressure of his first raceday start, he was a cool character.
"When that [engine] is idling behind you, all that stuff goes out the window, and then you enjoy the run," he said. "I'm learning with every run, and win or lose I learn something either way."
Veteran Top Fuel owner finally cracked into the 3.7-second zone in Saturday night qualifying when his longtime driver, Troy Buff, chauffeured the black BME dragster to a 3.795. The run, which bettered their previous best of 3.81, would have been even quicker, perhaps a mid-3.70, had not an intake pushrod tip broken off just before the 800-foot mark, leading to a costly engine explosion that took a bit of the luster off of the long-sought achievement.
"That was about a $30,000 pushrod," said Miller. "When the engine is running along at that speed and you break a pushrod, suddenly you have a seven-cylinder engine. The blower is still putting out enough air for eight so the other remaining players get 10 pounds more boost. Because each of the cylinders have a fixed fuel volume and suddenly are getting 15 percent more air, they go dead lean and start to detonate and it blows the rods out of it."
The team, which early last year reached its first final round – a runner-up behind Antron Brown at the Denso Spark Plugs NHRA Nationals in Las Vegas – saw their hopes for more progress evaporate in tire spin in round one.
"We had to put another engine is it and no two engines are exactly the same, no matter how hard you try," said Miller. "This one made an extra 200 rpm at the step of the throttle and 150 rpm more a little further down, so when the clutch came in that created more clamp load and it spun the tires. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Still, it's good to know that the things I did over the winter worked out and we can run .70s now. I won't be going home beating myself up because the tune-up was fine."
Expect to see the BME dragster at about half of the events this year; they've run 11 events the last three seasons.
Doug Kalitta is closing in fast on his milestone 600th round win, and the three he collected this weekend moved him to 592. Kalitta's first round win came at the second event of his rookie season, in Phoenix in1998, when he beat Eddie Hill.
Kalitta has reached his win total in 442 events, thanks to 88 final-round appearances (42 wins, 46 runner-ups), 76 semifinal finishes, and 135 quarterfinal finishes. (Kalitta technically has raced in 91 final rounds, but three of them were in the finals of the Four-Wide Nationals where he did not finish in the top two of his quad.)
Kalitta fell just short of his bid for a second Winternationals title, having previously won the event in 2009. Kalitta's uncle, Connie, won Top Fuel at the event in 1967 and his late cousin, Scott, won it in 2005.
A day before she actually won the Winternatiomals, Top Fuel low qualifier Leah Pritchett was already swooning just to be the No. 1 qualifier.
"There couldn't be a bigger roster of better things than to have the entire world watching us at what I consider to be one of the most prestigious races in the world," she said. "It's not just my home track but the first place I ever went down the dragstrip. A win here would probably rank above a U.S. Nationals [win].
Pritchett, whose Todd Okuhara-tuned dragster shocked everyone with a 3.654 in testing, didn't reach that number in Pomona, but the 3.672 that put her in the No. 1 spot was just shy of Steve Torrence's national record 3.671 set last year in Sonoma.
"I wasn't too excited about the 3.65 in Phoenix because that was testing, let's do it when it counts, and we did it," she said. "We were only one thousandth of a second from the quickest run ever, and we've still got 23 races to go after that. We don't have a whole lot of parts that no one else has, and everyone is right on our heels. If you're off at the Tree you're going to get waxed. So we just have to be super meticulous in everything we do."
Though they hope to one day be a thorn in the side of the higher-funded, multi-car teams, Del Worsham and his dad, Chuck, know they have some work still to do to up the performance and be a consistently quick car. Entering today's first round, they knew if opponent Robert Hight made a perfect 3.8-second run like he did in qualifying, they likely would not have a chance. So, instead of focusing on that, the Worsham team instead decided to tune for the conditions and what they thought they could run down the track. The end result ended up being a round-win thanks to a 4.008 that finished ahead of Hight's troubled 4.31. Hight was ahead for much of the run, but a mechanical problem near the eighth-mile mark slowed him, allowing Worsham, to drive around him and win.
"Oh man, what a way for my son and I to start it again," said Chuck. "It looked like that race was over. I don't know what happened to him, but we kind of took the conservative approach because we couldn't beat him if he ran 3.82 or anything, so it all turned out."
Unfortunately for Worsham, he was unable to repeat the feat in the second round, smoking the tires against defending world champion Ron Capps, who powered to a 3.89 victory.
J.R. Todd's foray into the world of Funny Cars got off to a great start with the former Top Fuel shoe knocking off a tire-smoking Tim Wilkerson in the first round. Todd posted career-best numbers on the run, 3.902 at 330.72 mph, and though he did get the "W," Todd admits he is still adjusting to his new ride and the more squirrelly nature of it.
"I've got to give all the credit to Jon O. [Oberhofer] and Todd [Smith] and the yella fellas. That DHL Camry is a handful, and I'm still a little behind the Funny Car," said Todd,who came up short against Courtney Force in the second round. "I'm used to driving a dragster and just finesse those things, where you've got to manhandle one of these, and going through the finish line with the wheel completely cocked over at 330 mph, that's an E-ticket ride right there. I don't even know what to say. I'm having fun driving this thing, and hopefully we can do it three more times today."
If Funny Car was a bracket class, Tommy Johnson Jr. would have been golden today. After running a 3.93 on his final qualifying attempt, Johnson put two more 3.93s on the scoreboards today. The problem, however, is most other cars were running in the 3.8s, so while the first-round 3.93 was enough to move Johnson past Alexis DeJoria, who was slowed by a mechanical malfunction, in the first round, the one in round two was not enough to better John Force, who posted a 3.88.
"We've got to take the governor off of this Make-A-Wish car," Johnson joked. "It won't go faster than a .93, but the guys are doing a great job with this back-up car this weekend. I'm really proud. We keep making progress every round. We're kind of the unknown quantity, so look out. Let's see what we can do."
Though they are still working on getting the combination just right, one thing became clear during Pro Stock eliminations today: the Elite Motorsports team is back on track and ready to compete. All three Elite-powered entries made it out of the first round with runs ranging from 6.55 to 6.57, and two-time world champion Erica Enders was the only non-KB Racing entry to advance out of the second round.
"We're just trying to learn this whole deal over again," said Enders' crew chief, Rick Jones. "The Elite guys have been working their butts off over the winter. We've got three really good cars and really good drivers, so I think we have a good chance."
Added Enders, after her second-round win, "We're really excited. I'm not sure how many times we got out of the second round last year, but it wasn't many, so I'm so proud of my Elite Motorsports group. They're absolutely incredible and never cease to amaze me."
It's fair to say that Tanner Gray's first race in a Pro Stock car was a successful. The 17-year-old high school student qualified well, made three good, competitive qualifying passes (the fourth was slowed when the transmission broke), and he won a round, defeating Chris McGaha in the first round. However, though he is happy overall with the first outing, Gray, in true competitive fashion, can't help but want more, particularly because he came extremely close to defeating No. 1 qualifier Jason Line in round two. Gray got the jump at the Tree, .026 to .066, and that was nearly enough to pull the upset of the reigning world champion. Line just edged Gray at the finish line by .006-second in the 6.55 to 6.60 contest.
"Obviously, we would have liked to have done better," said Gray. "I feel like I missed the Tree second round. I hadn't been that bad all week. It was just a lot of little things that went wrong there, and I guess we missed it by six-thou. I guess that's how it goes. We'll go to Phoenix and try to run good there. We're switching cars. We didn't really like the way that car was acting, so I'm going to get in my dad's car, and my dad's going to get in that car, and we're going to go from there.
"I've always kind of said there's no point in coming to the racetrack if you're not there to win. I'm not very easily pleased with a round-win or anything like that, but, all in all, it wasn't a bad weekend. There's definitely some stuff that I have to improve on, that we as a group have to get better."
Bo Butner's quest for his first Pro Stock win will have to wait another week, and he has a familiar foe to thank for that. In a repeat of the season opener last year, Butner was derailed by fellow KB Racing-powered driver Jason Line in the semi's, coming up short in a competitive 6.55 to 6.56 match. Though he definitely would have liked to have gotten by Line and had the chance to vie for his first Pro Wally, Butner was not hanging his head by any means following the loss.
"This is probably our best weekend that we've ever had," said Butner. "This car was every bit as fast as [Line's] throughout the day. It was just one of those races where if either one of us had been in the other pair we both would be in the final. It was good. This is just race one, so we'll have to see if it continues, but I think we'll be fine."
The SealMaster Track Walk kicked off Sunday's action, allowing fans to walk on the hallowed dragstrip at Auto Club Dragway at Pomona.
During the pre-race ceremony, NHRA President Peter Clifford, left, and Lucas Oil's Tom Bogner presented championship rings and jackets to some of last year's Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series champions. On hand for the presentation were Jimmy DeFrank (Super Stock), Jonnie Lindberg (Alcohol Funny Car), and Joey Severance (Alcohol Dragster).
Clifford and Mello Yello's Al Rondon also dispensed some rewards to last year's Mello Yello Drag Racing Series champs: Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Ron Capps (Funny Car), Jason Line (Pro Stock), and Jerry Savoie (Pro Stock Motorcycle).
One of NHRA's initiatives this season is a year-long salute to first responders. Several local first responders were honored by NHRA during the pre-race ceremony.

he present work focuses on the determination of interfacial heat transfer coefficients (IHTCs) between the casting and metal chill during casting solidification. The proposed method is established based on the least-squares technique and sequential function specification method and can be applied to calculate heat fluxes and IHTCs for other alloys. The accuracy and stability of the method has been investigated by using a typical profile of heat fluxes simulating the practical conditions of casting solidification. In the test process, the effects of various calculation parameters in the inverse algorithm are also analyzed. Moreover, numerically calculated and experimental results are compared by applying the determined IHTCs into the forward heat conduction model with the same boundary conditions. The results show that the numerically calculated temperatures are in good agreement with those measured experimentally. This confirms that the proposed method is a feasible and effective tool for determination of the casting-mold IHTCs.

Child-care enrolment laws in New South Wales
Effective from 1 January 2014 – includes changes from 01 January 2016
Note: During September 2017, the New South Wales parliament passed legislation abolishing the right to conscientiously object to vaccination for the purpose of enrolment in early education services in that state. The law takes effect on 01 January 2018. This page remains current until then.
During 2013, the New South Wales Parliament passed amendments to the Public Health Act 2010 regarding entry to and attendance at child-care (Public Health Amendment (Vaccination of Children Attending Child Care Facilities) Bill 2013).
Which children does this law apply to?
The law applies to all new enrolments on or after 01 January 2014.
Which services does the law apply to?
- Early Childhood Education and Care Services
The law does not apply to enrolment in pre-school/prep or school, however parents may be required to produce a vaccination status / history statement.
What is the effect of the law?
The law requires children without a medical exemption (which includes a contraindication or evidence of natural immunity) to be vaccinated, or undergoing an approved catch-up program, prior to being enrolled in childcare centres in New South Sales – unless a child's parents have a certified religious or conscientious objection to vaccination following counselling by an immunisation provider on the benefits and risks of vaccination.
Which vaccines must a child have to be considered fully vaccinated?
To be considered up-to-date for the purpose of NSW childcare enrolment law, a child must be vaccinated according to the per-age NSW Immunisation Schedule which is available at this link.
How do I register a religious or conscientious objection from January 01 2016?
Due to the enactment of the Commonwealth No Jab No Pay law, effective from 01 January 2016, the ACIR/Medicare no longer receives conscientious/religious objection forms. As a result, the New South Wales health department has created a new form for exclusive use in that state.
The Interim Vaccination Objection Form for Enrolment in NSW Child Care Centres is available from the NSW Health website. You should download and print a copy from the website and bring it to a consultation with your GP or authorised nurse immuniser. The medical practitioner or authorised nurse immuniser should keep the original copy of the form and give you a copy to take to the child care centre for enrolment.
This form can be downloaded at the following link.
How do I register a medical exemption?
The procedures for registering a medical exemption have not changed. Parents of children who have a medical contraindication to immunisation or natural immunity to a disease require an ACIR Immunisation Medical Exemption Form to be completed. These forms need to be signed by a GP and lodged with Medicare and a copy provided to the parent who must provide it to the child care centre on enrolment.
This form can be downloaded at the following link.
Will child-care operators still be permitted to enrol unvaccinated children and to not cancel the existing enrolments of unvaccinated children?
Yes, child-care operators will continue to have the option to enrol unvaccinated children, and to not cancel the existing enrolments of unvaccinated children.
Are child-care operators permitted to refuse to enrol unvaccinated children or cancel the enrolment of unvaccinated children?
No, providing you obtain and provide a signed exemption form to your child care operator, then it has no legal grounds upon which to deny enrolment of your unvaccinated children. If your childcare provider still chooses to deny enrolment, or cancel the existing enrolment of your child in spite of it not being required to do so, then it may be acting unlawfully. What remains to be tested, is whether such refusals and cancellations contravene the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992, which prohibits discriminating against others on the basis that they are perceived to be potential disease carriers.
If you experience such discrimination, and wish to test its lawfulness under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, please feel free to contact us for further information.
Will I still be eligible for child-care benefits and rebates in relation to my unvaccinated children?
The NSW law has no effect on benefits or rebates. The effect of the federal "No Jab, No Pay" law, however, is to deny Commonwealth child-care benefits and rebates for the care of unvaccinated children who do not have a medical exemption or documented natural immunity and are not on a catch-up vaccination schedule. (See "No Choice, No Way" – "No Jab No Pay" for details.) This applies even to those with a valid conscientious objection to the vaccination requirement for enrolment purposes under the NSW law.
Where can I out find out more?
For further information, see the New South Wales Health Department's' website.
Disclaimer: All information contained herein was, to the author's knowledge, correct at the time of writing, but is not intended to constitute legal advice. Parents and child-care operators should verify all details with the New South Wales government.

Crystal chemistry of clinopyroxenes from Filicudi and Salina (Aeolian Islands, Italy). Geothermometry and barometry.

European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 5 Number 5 (1993), p. 915 - 924

published: Jan 1, 1993

Abstract Single clinopyroxene crystals from calc-alkaline volcanic rocks of Filicudi and Salina (Aeolian Islands, Italy) have been studied by X-ray diffraction and microprobe techniques to examine the relations between clinopyroxene crystal chemistry and the petrological features of the host rocks. The clinopyroxenes of Filicudi and Salina are chemically quite similar, but two different groups can be distinguished, diopsides and augites, often coexisting in the same rock. The Filicudi clinopyroxenes are generally characterized by a smaller cell volume and a more closely-packed structure; comparison with crystals from different environments suggests a higher pressure of crystallization for the Filicudi rocks. A relationship between SiO2 content of magma and clinopyroxene intracrystalline equilibration temperature is discussed in terms of different cooling history due to the more pronounced explosive character of the more silicic magmas, leading to more rapid quenching of eruption products. For a given rock-type, clinopyroxene equilibration temperature is also a function of sample position in the volcanic sequence, to which different cooling rates can be assigned.

TripAdvisor Restaurant Reviews....are they real?
I've often mentioned here that I do not think TripAdvisor is a reliable site for restaurant reviews. Here is a recent article, from ElPais, that discusses the subject, and the issue of fake reviews:
Report Abuse
I can't speak to the fake reviews, but I do give my opinion, unsolicited, of places I have eaten at or have stayed at.
Report Abuse
I give my opinions, when it seems necessary, or when I am particularly impressed. I think I am "LadyOLeisure" over there.
Report Abuse
ekc - I don't always post something but usually I'll post a review especially if it's been particularly good, or there's a problem that needs fixing.
if it's simply mediocre, I don't normally bother.
when I'm reading reviews, like judges of certain sporting events, I disregard the very best and very worst, then read the rest.
Report Abuse
I've written a few reviews on the site. But I've also been contacted and asked to write them; this does not sit as well with me.
For example, a tour guide that I hired for a day about 6 years ago recently contacted me by e-mail and asked me to write a TA review for him. I went to the site and noticed a slew of favorable reviews lauding his services, so I suspect he sent out a mass mailing to everyone who had booked with him over the years....and asked them to post reviews.
I'm curious most about this....if you are ASKED to write a review, how do you respond?
Report Abuse
Oh my gosh you mean that everything on the internet is not true. Hold my hand Mary!
I write up Trip Advisor Hotels. I tell it like it is, warts and all. I have had three people email me to check (in each case was I gilding the lily?) and in each case I was not and they were happy with the honeymooners sending me a short thank you note.
So at the end your decisions are your own and I have had three of my best meals when I made no decision to eat. At one a man grabbed my hand and took Mrs Bilbo and me into a restaurant to eat at a party that did not have enough guests! At another I'd booked the B&B next door to the pub and they came and knocked on our door to see if we wanted supper and finally a barman said "just go there". It is the fun of the holiday these impromptu things.
Report Abuse
BTW, I have never been contacted and asked to write a review...but when I go somewhere based on reviews, I am likely to go back and post my own.
Report Abuse
The Italian newspapers are getting very upset about TA at the moment, which given the country's reputation is highly amusing for instance did you know that more "Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil" is exported from Italy than is made in the country for world wide(including italian)consumption.
Report Abuse
I've never been asked to post a review but do so when I have something to say about a restaurant, good or bad.
Report Abuse
I've never been asked to write a review either. I don't often write restaurant reviews, but I review just about every hotel I stay in - I use TA a lot when planning trips. I think it is important to add to the community and not just take.
Report Abuse
>TripAdvisor Restaurant Reviews....are they real? <
No less real than any other set of opinions from an anonymous group of strangers.
Are Fodors reviews real?
Report Abuse
I don't use TA for restaurant reviews. I don't know if they are real or fake, but I don't find them reliable. I can tell immediately by looking at any site's reviews of restaurants local to me, and in the case of TA I feel like the reviews do not generally match my experience .
I have never been asked to write a review; I would do so if I had been blown away by the place, I suppose.
Report Abuse
TA is a lot like Zagat, the reviews should to be taken with a grain of salt and a shot of whiskey. Obviously most are sincere. There just can't be that many unscrupulous hotel or restaurant owners, can there?
We know that there are certain unlicensed "tour guides" who know how to work the system to their advantage, but most reviewers are notably amateurs, lacking the depth of knowledge needed to write a critical review. Instead we get someone's opinion based on a one-time event. In the vain of uncle Client, you get the good, the bad and the ugly!
It's a sad state of affairs that so many hotels and restaurants, as well as some tour guides, have become dependent on getting a good review on TA.
Report Abuse
To me they are like Zagat. Why would I want to go where the majority of people go? Most things that are popular and successful -- Wal-Mart, Olive Garden, Meryl Streep movies, Everybody Loves Raymond or Dancing with the Stars -- are not things I enjoy. And the basic American diet is not something I eat.
Report Abuse
PS: Guidebooks should not be trusted because the overriding factor for selection is (a) view and (b) short walk to big tourist attraction. Worst food recommendations on the planet are in guidebooks published in Britain for British tourists (same for British newspapers).
Go to Chowhound, or read some of the very high end travel magazines, or wine and food magazines.
Also, usually for every country or food region, there is somebody who is really passionate about the local food and is a great cook. Read their cookbooks and books, Track down their interviews online. See what they recommend.
Report Abuse
I don't find TA reliable at all for restaurant reviews but do find the hotel reviews helpful. Food is so subjective and I have no idea what the reviewer's tastes/preferences are. I have much better success with a forum like Chowhound or here where I've gotten to know the posters and can better determine whether our likes/dislikes would be similar.
Report Abuse
TA reviews require intelligent reading. I throw out the dumb (poor rating from someone who couldn't get a reservation), the informationless outliers (everything awful or wonderful, no details), the clueless (complaints of small portions at a tapas place, "bad service" when no bill is presented until asked for at a European resto, pricey Coca Cola), and the like. Descriptive reports from a poster who has reviewed other places are more trustworthy, especially if the comments mesh with other trustable posters. On the other hand, a poster with hundreds of reviews in a relatively short period of time may be a paid review on demand shill. The more reviews a place has, the harder it is to slip in useless reviews as they are easy to ignore.
As for solicited reviews, the only time my review was solicited I had already formed a highly positive opinion that I intended to post, and did.
Report Abuse
If I like the place/places I say so and do not hesitate to comment when not satisfied..haven't been too unhappy recently but did blister Jasper Park Lodge a while back and Warsaw Westin was a disappointment. Have read about and tried several from T.A. and no problems at this time. I do know that the ones I write and those my family write are real!!!
Report Abuse
What I posted above doesn't even take into account that some of the reviews may be fake. I just don't think it's a good format for restaurants as it's also based on popularity.
I've posted a few hotel reviews on TA and they've all been unsolicited. I've only been asked to post a review once but that was on Stayz (the Australian version of VRBO) not TA. In that particular case our host had just started renting out her cottage, we enjoyed our stay and I was happy to help.
Report Abuse
Some hotels have "encouraged" Trip Advisor reviews, and in itself, that doesn't bother me. Most of these are couched in terms of, "If you enjoyed our services, could you....".
Sometimes I'm "on task" with getting those reviews up; other times, I just ignore the email reminder.
Recently, though, I was told during a tour and afterwards by email that if we had GOOD things to say, could we please post to Trip Advisor. And if we had negatives, could we please just contact them personally instead of posting.
Now THAT was cause for a review! And it wasn't good.
Report Abuse
I recently got a TA pm from someone who would pay me to post reviews that they would write. I forwarded the email to TA moderators. I have upon occasion been asked to write a review by the owner of a BnB. I tend to,write a fair number of reviews on places I stay. Writing one that was requested may or may not happen. It doesn't really effect whether I do a review or not. I will say that when I have been asked by the owner it's typical a small place where we had a fair amount of interaction with the owner.
I find the hotel reviews reliable using judgement as I review them. However I don't look to TA too much for restaurant views.
Report Abuse
For hotels, I enter a review, whether asked or not. I only remember a hotelier discussing the matter with me once, and that wasn't really a request. It was something like: "if you have comments, please let us know directly or, if you prefer, through TA - we check our reviews there routinely".
To date, I have not been asked to enter a review of a restaurant on TA, and I have only entered restaurant reviews when I had strong opinions that I was not recording comments on a site that better suits my general needs. If I decide to begin entering restaurant reviews on TA routinely, then I will do so whether asked or not, and if I am asked, I will likely mention that in my remarks. I can't imagine that I would enter a restaurant review simply because I was asked. (But stranger things could happen!)
I'm finding this thread informative - thanks for posting the question!
Report Abuse
I use TA in addition to other resources when I'm researching hotels and restaurants. I also like to see what are the most popular attractions and what tours are available. I look at the number of reviews posted, whether the business takes the time to respond to the negative reviews and I search for key words of interest to me in the comments. I have been asked several times to submit a review. I'm more likely to write reviews for small places or start up businesses that will benefit from more recognition. Deborah
Report Abuse
I use ta for hotels, I read and I write hotel reviews all the time. I contact reviewers sometimes to ask specific questions, they have always gotten back to me. I can say I have booked at least 13 or 14 hotels using the reviews and feel i always got what I expected.
I however find restaurant reviews close to useless, its too subjective of a topic. Someone who normally eats KFC says a place is great, or someone who normally drops 500 dollars for dinner says the food was too basic, you just don't know.
Hotels are either basically clean or not, well located or not, etc I disregard any review that is counter to the majority of reviews( one glowing review 4 so so ones etc).
If a hotel asked me to post a review I would not find that sketchy at all, I post my honest opinions. Just because they asked you to post doens't mean you have to lie right? I can't say anyone has ever asked me though.
Report Abuse
I write reviews for any services I feel deserve a review, whether it is a hotel, a tour, or a restaurant. Good and bad. Have never been asked to write one though.
I would venture to say most of the reviews are honest, but the blatent false ones are often reported and removed, and any reader can report them. So, if you read something that sounds false, report it. Reviews written from the hotel IP itself, get tossed automatically.
Report Abuse
I rarely write restaurant reviews but I have when it's was really good and then only when it's in a city I don't visit that often.
I don't write reviews about my favorite places in my home town. It's very selfish, but it might just increase my wait time.
I always write reviews for hotels and sometimes for attractions.
Report Abuse
I have never been asked to write a review. Just because you have been to some restaurant or hotel does not in any way, shape, or form guarantee that everybody else will necessarily have the same experience you did. And since there are as many different ways of evaluating an establishment as there are people who do the evaluating, implying that a review is "fake" because it doesn't jive with your own opinion seems rather foolish reasoning to me.
Sure there have been fake reviews on TA and TA tries to keep that from happening from what I have seen.
Now, if we could all come together and agree on the actual definition of some of the following "review words" perhaps things will improve:
out of date
terrible, etc., etc.
Report Abuse
I don't rely on TA nearly as much as I used to. After arriving at a few hotels/b&b's and thinking, This was #1 on Tripadvisor?
I have been surprised at times to see well recommended restaurants way down on the list on TA.
Look up your own hometown or nearby city, and see if TA agrees with what you know. I think more often it doesn't.
I've also seen resto and hotel reviews for places in Italy that have about half a dozen glowing reports, all from the local area, all having no specifics, and all using the same shallow language.
Doesn't take much to figure that one out.
I like reviews on booking.com because you can't post there unless they send you a link after your stay. I also like their pros and cons format, makes it easy to scan through them.
Some of the best meals we have had have been recommended by the hotel/B&B where we stayed, but just as many were equally as bad.
Eckscrunchy, I just look for your reports.
Report Abuse
oops ekscrunchy. Good link to ElPais by the way.

good point, sundried. I did it with my town and the top restaurant [out of 100+] is a coffee shop, but several very good restaurants are quite a long way down the list.

ribeirasacra that was a very funny link.

I can't answer as to whether all reviews on tripadvisor are real but I often post reviews and pictures and I see them up there so at least i know mine are real.
No restaurant or hotel has ever asked me to post a review on tripadvisor or any other website. If they did ask me to do so, and the service was especially good or especially bad, then I would most likely review it.
Report Abuse
My reviews are real and were not solicited by the hotel or restaurant.
Report Abuse
We should ignore the #1 etc. ratings. It looks like it is just a measure of how many reports are posted. I have never found that metric to be at all useful.
I generally don't review the local places because I think Trip Adviser only when I am traveling, but my local is someone else's detination. I guess I have to rate the local places now to keep TA better informed.

Thanks, SunDried! Love the screen name!
>TripAdvisor Restaurant Reviews....are they real? <
No less real than any other set of opinions from an anonymous group of strangers.>
Ira: I think that there are websites that offer opinions on restaurants that are much more reliable than TripAdvisor, even though the posters are, for the most part, anonymous strangers.
eGullet.com, although not strong for restaurants in all cities, tends to attract posters knowledgeable about food, although obviously there are exceptions, and personally I do not find the site to be user friendly. There is a coterie of posters on Chowhound.com, that are very knowledgeable about the food scene in their own locales. And there are quite a few blogs written by posters who, while they are not known to me, seem spot on when it comes to opinions about restaurants.
And that is not counting the various review sites that are not written in English, for example, 11870, which I often use when selecting restaurants in Spain.
I do use TA for hotels, throwing out the highest and lowest and looking at the big picture when considering places with many reviews. If I find the same issues arising over and over again, I would take heed if it was an issue that was important to me.
<The Italian newspapers are getting very upset about TA at the moment, which given the country's reputation is highly amusing for instance did you know that more "Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil" is exported from Italy than is made in the country for world wide(including italian)consumption.>
BB: Sorry but I do not understand what you mean to say here.
"Product of Italy" means that the bottle contains only oil from Italian olives. "Imported from Italy," means that the bottle can contain oils from the olives grown outside Italy, but blended and shipped from Italy.

I very muchlike TripAdvisor and frequently and often review regardless of bad, good, average or ugly. I have only once been suprised when staying in a hotel that had received wow reviews andundesrved in my opinion, and I suspect there may have been fake reviews which placed it as a number one hotel.
I have also received great advice back after emailing reviewers.
Report Abuse
PM'ing posters is a great way to verify reviews and get additional personalized info. Wish Fodor's had that feature
Report Abuse
I rely heavily on TA hotel reviews when planning where to stay and feel therefore it's my obligation to also write reviews. I do not pay any attention to the 'ratings', they seem pretty useless. But I read all the comments - and as others have said - ignore the ones that indicate the person doesn't understand European hotels, etc. I find there is useful information in the reviews sometimes that isn't even on the hotel's site.
I have been asked by a couple of hotels to write a review, but I was going to do that anyway. I understand how a hotel can ask you to write a review since they obviously have your email from the reservation. I don't understand how a restaurant can ask to review them. Do they do this in person when you are still eating there? Do they email you (like the hotels do)? If so, how does the restaurant know your email?

At Theatre Bristol we believe in giving visibility & profile to independent artists and producers, positioning them as leaders who are collectively responsible for the future of the arts, rather than reliant on a hierarchy of institutions.
One of the ways we have started to do this is by providing micro-bursaries for independent practitioners to attend conferences, events and other opportunities, some of which may usually only be attended by salaried staff. On their return we ask them to share their experience and learning with the rest of the sector by writing a blog, making a vlog, or more practically in a workshop.
We call this TB Agents and we want to expand it year on year – details of 2017-18 bursaries will be published soon.
Amy Rose, one of our first Agents, will be attending the Family Arts Conference in Bristol next week. She suggested it would be a good idea for people to get in touch to highlight things that might be of interest or concern, or with information about current projects relevant to the conference.
If you have anything that you would like Amy to know before she goes please email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will pass it on.
We need your help. We want to maintain this site for the 20,000 people who use it each month, but the technology it is built on needs serious updating. If you use the site please support us with a £3 donation, or whatever you feel able to give, so we can develop it and keep it a free and valuable resource for people who make and love theatre.
You can also give to us without costing you a penny by signing up to Easy Fundraising, so when you shop online from over 2500 retailers Theatre Bristol will receive a donation.

Previous studies have demonstrated that the incidence and severity of respiratory virus infections is greater in smokers than in non-smokers, but the mechanisms mediating these responses are currently not well understood. Our preliminary data demonstrate that cultured nasal epithelial cells from smokers are more susceptible to influenza virus infections, shed more virus, and have decreased expression of type 1 interferons. This in vitro model thus provides an important tool to investigate the cellular and molecular basis for enhanced susceptibility to influenza virus seen in smokers. In addition, our preliminary data demonstrate that nasal administration of live attenuated influenza virus (LAIV) offers the possibility of studying influenza virus infections safely in humans in vivo. Using tightly linked human in vitro and in vivo approaches, this proposal is designed to test the hypothesis that chronic exposure to cigarette smoke alters epithelial antiviral and inflammatory responses to influenza virus infection via two potentially related mechanisms: decreased expression of phase II (antioxidant) enzymes and suppression of type 1 interferon (antiviral) pathways. We further hypothesize that upregulation of phase II enzymes via nutritional supplementation with SFN is a potential therapeutic strategy to mitigate these effects.
Specific aim 1 will use an in vitro model of differentiated human nasal epithelial cells to determine mechanisms that modify influenza-induced antiviral defense responses in smokers, initially focusing on the role of type I IFN antiviral defense responses and the potential role of cigarette smoke-induced gene silencing.
Specific aim 2 will use our existing protocol of administration of LAIV vaccine as a model for influenza virus infections to confirm mechanisms that mediate enhanced susceptibility to influenza infections in smokers in vivo. LAIV-induced viral replication and antiviral defense responses will be assessed in smokers and non-smokers using endpoints measured in nasal biopsy tissue and lavage fluids. Outcomes within each study cohort will be grouped based on changes in innate immune defense gene expression found in specific aim 1.
Specific aim 3 will use both the in vitro and in vivo models to determine the relationships between antioxidant gene expression, antiviral pathways, and virus-induced inflammation in smokers and non-smokers. We will assess how upregulation of HO-1 as a result of supplementation with SFN can improve key abnormalities in antiviral pathways and inflammatory/immune response changes associated with smokers, as identified in SA1+2. Data derived from these studies will yield insights into the mechanisms that enhance the susceptibility to influenza virus infections in smokers and explore potential therapeutic interventions using a translational research design.
Susceptibility to and severity of influenza infections is enhanced in smokers, but the mechanisms mediating this effect are largely unknown. We have established human in vitro and in vivo experimental models of influenza infections, which will be applied to determine cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating enhanced susceptibility to influenza virus in smokers and to explore potential therapeutic interventions. Knowledge obtained from these studies can be exploited to develop new therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating respiratory virus infections and their effects in individuals chronically exposed to tobacco smoke.
