Medical uses
Zonisamide is approved in the United States,[3] United Kingdom,[4] and Australia[5] for adjunctive treatment of partial seizures in adults and in Japan for both adjunctive and monotherapy for partial seizures (simple, complex, secondarily generalized), generalized (tonic, tonic-clonic (grand mal), and atypical absence) and combined seizures.[6] For epilepsy, most studies have used oral zonisamide in daily doses ranging from 200 to 600 milligrams/day, divided in 2 daily doses, adjusted to maintain serum levels of 15 to 40 micrograms/milliliter[7][8][9][10]
Parkinson's disease
An open trial on zonisamide in seven Parkinson's disease patients had positive results, according to this 2001 report.[11] Since then, it has been reported to treat the resting tremor that other therapies may leave behind.[12] By early November 2005, Dainippon Sumitomo had filed a NDA for the use of zonisamide in Parkinson's disease; it is to be marketed as Tremode.[13]
Tardive dyskinesia
In an open-label trial zonisamide attenuated the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia.[14]
It has also been studied for obesity[15] with significant positive effects on body weight and there are three ongoing clinical trials for this indication.[16][17][18] It is to be sold, when combined with bupropion, under the brand name Empatic.
Zonisamide has been studied for and used as a migraine preventative medication, and has also been shown to be effective in some cases of neuropathic pain.
Bipolar depression
It has also been used off-label by psychiatrists as a mood stabilizer to treat bipolar depression.[19][20]

Zonisamide and other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as topiramate, furosemide, and hydrochlorothiazide have been known to interfere with amobarbital, which has led to inadequate anesthetization during the Wada test.[23] Zonisamide may also interact with other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors to increase the potential for metabolic acidosis.[1]
Additionally, the metabolism of zonisamide is inhibited by ketoconazole, ciclosporin, miconazole, fluconazole and carbamazepine (in descending order of inhibition) due to their effects on the CYP3A4 enzyme.[24]
Mechanism of action
Zonisamide is an antiseizure drug chemically classified as a sulfonamide and unrelated to other antiseizure agents. The precise mechanism by which zonisamide exerts its antiseizure effect is unknown, although it is believed that the drug blocks sodium and T-type calcium channels, which leads to the suppression of neuronal hypersynchronization (that is, seizure-form activity).[5] It is also known to be a weak carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (similarly to the anticonvulsant, acetazolamide). It is also known to modulate GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission.[5][25][26][27][28]
Variable, yet relatively rapid rate of absorption with a time to peak concentration of 2.8-3.9 hours. Food has no effect on the bioavailability of zonisamide[29]
Zonisamide is metabolized mostly by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme, but also CYP3A7 and CYP3A5,[30] to 2-(sulphamoylacetyl)-phenol via reductive cleavage of the 1,2-benzisoxazole ring.[31]
Zonisamide was discovered by Uno and colleagues in 1972[32] and launched by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma (formerly Dainippon Pharmaceutical) in 1989 as Excegran in Japan.[33] It was marketed by Élan in the United States starting in 2000 as Zonegran, before Élan transferred their interests in zonisamide to Eisai Co., Ltd. in 2004.[34] Eisai also markets Zonegran in Asia (China, Taiwan, and fourteen others)[35] and Europe (starting in Germany and the United Kingdom).[36]

Quantum Computing
Quantum Computing and Information
From teleportation to spooky action-at-distance effects, the strange world of quantum mechanics can be anything from slightly puzzling to promising to fascinating. It is also an intricate toolbox that can be used to build the ultimate machine: the quantum computer. The quantum computer will make use of principles of quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement.
The basic unit of information, analogous to the classical bit, is called a qubit—literally, a quantum bit. However, while the classical bits can only be in a single state at a time, typically 0 or 1, qubits can be in a superposition of states. Different types of qubits are used to encode information, typically the vertical and horizontal polarization of light or the up and down spin of an electron. This superposition of qubits bestows the computer with intrinsic parallelism by allowing it to perform several operations simultaneously. Quantum computers are expected to be orders of magnitude faster and more powerful than the classical computer.
In addition, particles that exist in a superposition of states (photons, electrons, bosons) are entangled, i.e., their behavior and properties are strongly correlated, so much so that, despite being physically separated by rather large distances, any action on one particle will be reflected in the other. Entanglement can therefore be viewed as a measure of the integrity of the information that is being transmitted, and corrupted information can be automatically detected by simply "reading" the state of the system. Quantum computers are thus promising for data encryption and cryptanalysis. However, that same advantage is also an issue in the design and construction of a quantum computer. Entangled systems, if not properly isolated, will irreversibly interact with the environment, resulting in a "new" state. Thus, dephasing (or decoherence) occurs, and information is lost.
At the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute
PQI researchers work on various aspects of quantum computing and information. Development in information theory as well as in quantum algorithms is carried out. Qubit platforms, such as superconducting microwave circuits and Majorana Fermions in semiconducting nanowires are designed for quantum computing. Quantum simulation is another approach to quantum computing; the experimental thrust is the design of a 1D solid state quantum simulation platform that can be controlled on the nanoscale, while a theoretical approach consists of the development of powerful numerical methods that would open the door to faster, more accurate simulations of various novel and exotic quantum systems on a classical computer.

Marine conservation zone 2013 designation: The Manacles
This inshore marine conservation zone (MCZ) was designated on 21 November 2013.
The Manacles MCZ is an inshore site located on the southern coast of Cornwall which covers a total area of approximately 3.5 km2. The MCZ extends 2 km from the coastline to encompass a series of large underwater rocky outcrops known as The Manacles.
New features have been added to this site. This is because we have new evidence to support their designation.

Sometimes a second set of eyes is what is needed to help our loved ones make their home safer for everyday living.
We encourage you to help the person you care for to actively identify risks that could cause falls, and discuss an action plan to minimise potential risk factors in their home. It is a good idea to start the conversation with them describing what their normal day-to-day activities are, and if they have any concerns that might contribute to the risk of a fall.
There are a number factors that can contribute to the risk of falls occurring in the home. These can be categorised into environmental risks and individual risks. Let's take a look into both to see where improvements can be made, and falls prevented.
Environmental Improvements can include:
- Adequate lighting – are there some areas of the home that do not have adequate lighting? Especially consider around the outside of the home, around or near stairs, and lighting during the night time when they are moving between rooms. Installation of lights that turn on with movement can not only prevent a fall, but save on power bills in the long run.
- Support rails – are there good hand rails installed near all steps inside and outside? Can rails be fitted in the bathroom, in the shower, near the toilet and bathtub, to aid in stability when moving around these slippery areas?
- Flat floor surfaces – is the floor clear of all obstacles that could be a trip hazard? Tidy away cords, ensure that rugs don't have wrinkles, and have backings that prevent them from sliding or moving on hard flooring.
- Footwear and clothing – check that what the individual wears allows them to move easily, and not hinder walking or getting in and out of a chair?
Individual risk factors to consider include:
- Balance and gait problems
- Loss of eyesight
- Multiple medications that can have adverse side effects?
- Do they live alone and are they prone to social isolation?
- Reduction in mobility
The fear of falling can be a delicate subject to discuss, but research has shown that a fear of falling is a key indicator of whether someone will fall. This fear can impact on their perception of their mobility. Activity, flexibility and strength training at a targeted and progressive level, will help to prevent falls from occurring.
If the person you care for is affected by some of the risk factors listed above, there are some technology aids that you could choose to protect them in the event of a fall, such as a fall detection pendant. Chiptech has fall detection technology built into two pendants, Pearl Advanced that works in and around the home, and GO, a mobile personal emergency system.
Chiptech fall detection pendants feature:
- Automatic detection of a fall that summons help
- 24/7 connection to emergency services
- The fall algorithm uses sophisticated technology that looks for a free fall followed by a significant impact, minimising false activations.
- Pearl Advanced is hot waterproof so able to be worn in the bath and shower.
- If a fall is accidentally detected it can be cancelled by the wearer.
- Button press for help in an emergency.
For more information please contact Chiptech email@example.com

Pulmonary function tests are those that measure the ability of the lungs to take in and release air as well as how well they can move various gases from the atmosphere into the body's circulation.
The test will be performed with an instrument called a spirometer, which measures airflow. You will breathe into a mouthpiece that is connected to the spirometer. The spirometer will record the amount and rate of air that you breathe in and out over a certain period of time.
To prepare for this test, do not eat a large meal prior to the examination and do not smoke 4 to 6 hours before the appointment. Serevent and Advair cannot be taken 12 hours prior to the test and Ventolin, Atrovent, and Bricanyl cannot be taken 4 hours prior to the test. Special instructions will be given to those who use bronchodilators or other inhaler medications.

Edgar Allan Poe
Biography of Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was a great man who?s goal in writing was to send chills down the spines of his readers which he successfully achieved through his eerie stories and poems. But what made him this way In order to understand the reasons for Edgar Allan Poe?s writings, we must look back to the very beginning of his life and follow it to the very end.
Eliza Arnold came to America from England in 1795. She was just Eight years old. In April, 1796, almost as soon as she arrived, she began her acting career in Boston, Massachusetts. She quickly became very popular, because she could sing and dance as well as memorize long speaking parts. In all the cities she played in, she received praise from the critics. After Eliza?s first marriage, she met a man named David Poe. Shortly after, David left a promising career in law to become an actor and be with Eliza. David was not very good though. His unusual speaking styles often got him booed and berated by critics. In the first week of April, 1806, Eliza married David. The

LIBERTY, Mo. — A woman has been charged in Clay County after allegedly driving the wrong way down the interstate while intoxicated with her child in the vehicle in the early morning hours on the 4th of July.
Danielle Pauline Newcomer, 23, is charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police said she was pulled over while driving south in the northbound lanes of Interstate 35.
Court documents state that officers were dispatched to the area of 69 Highway in Mosby, Mo. around 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday regarding a wrong way driver on the highway. A short time later, an officer spotted Newcomer's black 2010 Chevy Impala traveling the wrong way on the highway in Liberty.
The officer caught up with the vehicle, traveling next to her vehicle with the concrete barrier in between them. The officer engaged his lights and sirens, as well as his cruiser's PA system to tell her to pull over.
Newcomer eventually came to a stop in a lane of traffic of I-35, court records say. The officer ordered the driver to unlock the passenger door, which she did not do. More police responded to the area. An officer unlocked the door from the driver's side at which point, she put her vehicle in park.
The officer noticed a 2-year-old in a child seat behind the driver. He observed damage to the passenger side of the Chevy. Newcomer was arrested for driving while intoxicated, careless driving, and child endangerment.
An officer had to wake Newcomer to administer a breath test, which revealed her blood alcohol content at .176.
Newcomer admitted to drinking alcohol at her brother's home located on Green Hills Road off 152 Highway in Platte County before driving home. Officers showed her photos of the damage, which she said was new damage, but could not remember how it happened.

Life corrodes in different ways.
Life can be also turn rusty up on my roof, when the old night light dies away showing all its skeletons to the sun.
Life is indeed a decay when I see people dying away in drugs and alcohol and as the world around keeps walking.
Life corrodes in different ways: as a natural process and as an intentional process.
Is it all in our control?

Aquatic exercises' effect on mood and fatigue in MS
International Journal of MS Care In-Press.
Effects of an Acute Bout of Aquatic Exercise on Mood in Multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Study
Helen Genova, PhD; Rosalia Dacosta-Aguayo, PhD; Yael Goverover, PhD; Angela Smith, MA; Chris Bober, MSW; John DeLuca, PhD
From Neuropsychology and Neuroscience, Kessler Foundation, East Hanover, NJ, USA (HG, RD-A, AS, CB, JD); Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (HG, RD-A, JD) and Department of Neurology (JD), Rutgers University, New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ, USA; and Department of Occupational Therapy, New York University, New York City, NY, USA (YG).
Background: Physical activity is known to be an effective way of managing multiple sclerosis (MS) related symptoms. Further, it has been reported that even a single bout of physical activity can yield improvements in mood in persons with MS (pwMS). Aquatic exercise (AqE) can be an effective and enjoyable physical activity in pwMS. However, there is little research focusing on the immediate effects of AqE on mood in pwMS. Thus, we assessed the acute effects of a single bout of AqE on mood.
Methods: Eight pwMS participated in a 45-minute AqE class as well as 45 minutes of a seated rest control condition. The Profile of Mood States was given before and after each condition (rest and AqE). Repeated measures analysis of variance and paired-samples tests were used to examine whether AqE resulted in improvement in mood. Due to the small sample size, effect sizes were considered.
Results: Moderate to large effect sizes indicated a condition by time interaction, such that mood increased and fatigue reduced following an acute bout of AqE compared to rest.
Conclusions: This proof of concept study suggests that mood symptoms are improved immediately following a short bout of AqE. Future research is needed to explore whether these effects are reliable and whether they can be sustained with more frequent bouts of AqE.

I had a pretty decent gym session on Saturday. Not really feeling weak any longer, I did some benching, nothing close to a record but not bad nonetheless: 6 x 135, 6 x 185, 3 x 4 x 225, 8 x 185, 10 x 135. On the second set at 185 I had a coughing fit with a couple of reps to go, but somehow – don't ask me how – was able to complete the set. Determination, maybe. In the evening we had a nice dinner at an Indian restaurant thanks to a 50% Groupon deal. Groupon barrages me with spam, but ever so often something pretty good gets through. I had a paneer dosa, always one of my favorites.
The gym was only open until noon on Sunday, it being Easter, and I just wasn't in the mood to go that early. As I've noted, I am not a morning exerciser. We had a nice dinner, roast leg of lamb (my preference for rabbit stew not having gone over too well), and all in all it was a relaxing day, in advance of my return to work on Monday.

How to "Properly" Cook Tofu
Tackling tofu can seem impossible, especially if you're new to being a vegetarian or vegan, so I am so excited to share with you my top tips for cooking tofu the right way! ;)
As a vegan, I eat tofu weekly--it's a great source of protein and it is actually super easy to make, but... you have to know what you're doing first, lol!
Of course it took a little while to master this, but I think after being plant strong for 12 years I kind of know what I'm doing.
The first step is knowing what kind of tofu to buy. I like to buy extra firm already cubed tofu. I usually buy it from Whole Foods, but there are a ton of other local grocery stores that sell tofu as well. If the tofu you bought isn't cubed, that's okay, you'll get to it in the next step!
Next, cut a slice in the top of the tofu and pour out the existing water. This is when you can take your tofu out of the package and dice it up into half inch thick cubes.
|I apologize for the blurriness--I did this step by step on Snapchat (username: Dream4mtrw)
Once you pour out the water and get your tofu cubed, you'll want to lay out some paper towels. I usually do about two layers on the bottom, and then spread the cubed tofu evenly out onto the paper towels. You don't want the tofu to be piled on top of each other because the goal is to get any excess water out.
|Put a heavy object on top to compress it!
Put another two layers of paper towels on top of your one layer of tofu and pat down. You will already start to see a lot of water soaking out. You can even put something with a little pressure on top of your tofu layer to make sure all the water gets out. I leave mine for about 30 minutes - 1 hour, but the longer you leave it the better to make sure it's really dry!
Let all water get out of tofu before adding spices to it! My favorite spices I add are nutritional yeast (secret sauce), cayenne pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder.
Pour a tsp of olive oil in a frying pan and let it heat up before adding in your tofu. Add your spiced up tofu to olive oil and saute!
Brown your tofu on all sides, this will take about 10 minutes.
That's it! This process takes a little over an hour from start to completion, but trust me you will look at tofu so differently after you start cooking it "properly." Also, when you do meal prep regularly, it just becomes a routine! :) You can cook veggies when it's draining, or multi task!

How to Date an Omnivore ;)
You know when you're at a restaurant and the wait staff seems to KNOW you don't eat meat? Like they always put the meat appetizers in front of you?
"Here's your calamari," as they proceed to watch your reaction as they place the food in front of you. Like really? Can't it just go in the MIDDLE of the table and not in front of me??
I've been getting requests to talk about how to date an omnivore as a vegan. Now, it hasn't always been easy, the struggle is still real, but here's the word you have to get used to saying: compromise.
I've been dating my man for almost 7 years, most of which I've been a strict vegetarian. Let's be real, it's quite easy to be a vegetarian at most restaurants. There's almost always a quesadilla, or salad without chicken, or soup, or a veggie burger, or veggie sides.
As a vegan, not so much. My boyfriend and I live a healthy lifestyle. We workout 5+ times per week, he counts his macros, I use my color coded portion control containers, and we don't splurge or go out often. So when we DO, these are some tips I'd offer my fellow vegans with their omni significant other :)
1. Use separate cook wear. If you don't go out often (like us), learn to meal prep. Have him cook his animal protein separate from your veggie protein, and share all your veggies! Be the good influence ;) When I lived with non vegans, I always used my own dishes and separate containers. This makes for a much less hostile living environment, lol!
2. Plan date nights monthly. Do your research and decide together where you want to go. You can always give him/her one night and you can have one night where the restaurant is more geared to that lifestyle. For example, go to a vegan restaurant once a month, and a not so vegan friendly place once a month for him (like a brewery if you refuse to go to a steak house--call ahead and ask about vegan options OR just create your own).
3. Share, don't lecture. Sure, you're super passionate about your lifestyle, but as we all know, it can be taken the wrong way. Us vegans can be seen as high and mighty and annoying because we care a LOT. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle and we're damn passionate! But lecturing them, sitting them in front of Netflix, showing them awful videos...yeah they don't work. Or maybe they do for a month...but veganism should not be forced. It's a huge lifestyle change and should be treated as such. Don't be pushy, just share! Honestly they'll see a huge change in your appearance, mood, skin, habits etc ;)
4. Stock up on vegan snacks! When you're road tripping, that shit is hard to find herbivore friendly places! Go to whole foods and stock up on vegan snacks (vega bars, popcorn, nuts, dried fruit, cold brew, fresh fruit, shakeology, etc!).
5. Think of your significant others' fave foods. Now veganize them!! Most meat/dairy filled recipes are quite simple to veganize nowadays! Have a date night in and make something together! I would suggest Trader Joes pizzas--you can get wheat dough, they can choose whatever. You can both get veggie toppings, sauce, and he/she can get cheese while you get vegan cheese. He can cook with meat, you can add whatever to yours. Making pizzas is fun to do together! Open some vino, put on a movie, and maybe each get a dessert to share. If you're at trader joes, check out the chocolate covered bananas and Joe Joe's! Nom! ;)
I think people make this way harder than it needs to be. Simply educate yourself, do your research with restaurants, and live a healthy and happy balanced life together! My boyfriend and I have a few restaurants we go to in our town because we know we can both find options. I usually always have luck at Mexican restaurants, burger joints (usually a veggie option, just make sure the patty doesn't have dairy), and always pizza places--most dough is vegan, and you can simply ask for no cheese--easy peasy!! ;)
1. Whole foods
2. Chipotle: you can never go wrong with guac, beans, and rice!
3. Yard House has amazing vegan options
4. Blaze Pizza or any pizza place really
5. Most Breweries have vegan options or you can easily create your own
Click the link above to see a great breakdown of restaurants that have vegan options! Approved by PETA, so it's legit ;)
Are you a new vegan? A vegetarian trying to transition to vegan? Shoot me an email, I'd love to offer some tips! :)

Choose Your Hard
Losing weight is hard. Meal Prep is hard. The workouts are hard. Staying consistent is hard. Resisting crappy foods is hard.
Being overweight is hard. Having no self-esteem is hard. Feeling depressed is hard. Having stomach problems is hard. Not sleeping is hard. Having no energy is hard. Having health risks is hard.
Real talk guys, I was at a very low point on the left. This was taken in Vegas, and at that point in my life I was a super carbaholic (for reals), drinking and eating my way through college without any care as to what I was doing to my body and self esteem. I know that can come off as sarcastic, and I am a very sarcastic person, but I feel like a lot of that stems from lack of self confidence. I've gotten a lot better, but I used to just make fun of myself, call myself albino and unable to wear bathing suits because I would blind others. I would put a pillow over my stomach whenever I sat (this has become a habit), wear leggings with flowy dresses over them at the beach, all my clothes were basically black. This might all seem minor, but when you used to look in the mirror everyday and want to cry when you saw your reflection, that makes you start thinking.
It's a long road, it's a tough one, but it's sure as hell worth it--for your health, for self love, for your relationships, for your future. I want to shout at anyone going through this, that you are SO LOVED, but that only does so much when you don't believe it yourself--I get it. Just make little steps, celebrate small victories, and work on loving yourself everyday. It's not easy to say affirmations everyday, face fear, eat more plants, whatever it may be... it will be tough, but it will be worth it!
Choose your hard!
I choose being vegan, I choose balance, I choose workouts 6 days per week, I choose to work on myself daily, I choose to be the best I can be, I choose consistency which leads to healthy habits, which in turns leads to a healthy life.
What do you choose?
Shoot me a message if you want help getting started on your health and fitness journey! :)

Positivity Challenge
Could you go 1 day, just 24 hours...without a negative thought?
If your immediate reaction was no, why is that?
Here's my challenge for you: wake up tomorrow and smile. Stretch, be grateful for the fact that you're breathing, safe, and alive, and when you feel the urge to hit snooze, think about what you're grateful for.
If a negative thought creeps into your head, or someone cuts you off on the road, reel it in, and change it into a positive.
Yes, this might be hard at first. Yes, we are human and stuff happens. But I promise you that you can make your day better by simply having the mindset of "I'm going to make today amazing."
Seriously, try it.
Here's my challenge for you: wake up tomorrow and smile. Stretch, be grateful for the fact that you're breathing, safe, and alive, and when you feel the urge to hit snooze, think about what you're grateful for.

Hammer & Chisel Month 1 Results
Results are in for month 1 of my home lifting program!
Now, I don't trust the scale to track my progress anymore. It has always affected me emotionally and it's just not worth it. I only weighed myself twice in January, and since my program is strictly lifting, the scale only moved about a pound. My measurements have stayed about the same, except my stomach and waist have shrunk! I am feeling some abs forming! ;)
I must say I feel AMAZING! I have doubled the weight I can lift, I am waking up earlier, I have energy the entire day, my meal plan is on POINT with super clean vegan nutrition, I haven't cheated once, and I've gotten in all my workouts. I have one rest day per week, the workouts are only 30-40 min, and I legit feel the strongest I ever have.
I feel like my arms have tightened up, and I'm well on my way to getting in the best shape of my life! I'm not where I want to be...YET! I know it's a process, and I know that I have had poor nutrition for the last 10 years of my life...so change takes TIME!
Anyone need an awesome bad ass workout that will lift your confidence, mood, and help you get into amazing shape for an upcoming trip, or wedding? I'm accepting more people to join my wellness community this month! Just fill out the form below so we can get started! :)

How to Not Overindulge on Superbowl Sunday
How to Not Overindulge on Superbowl Sunday (Even though I do not watch sports, only hockey occasionally, I made this list based on how I'm treating one of my all-time FAVE holidays, Valentine's day <3):
1. Get your workout in--if the game is later in the day, you have time to do some sort of physical activity (tailgating does not count, lol!). Get in a run, do some yoga, go for a walk, or go crazy and lift some heavy weights and burn some calories!
2. Prep healthy snacks--let's be honest, most of the food at Super Bowl parties is wings, pizza, beer, and chips. While all of that minus the wings sounds amazing, if you're on a fitness journey, overindulging can throw you off your game (pun intended). If I binge, I know it's going to happen again, so while balance is cool and all, for me it's more about cutting foods out for a certain amount of time to create a healthy habit.
3. Limit your alcohol intake--I'm sure that seems ridiculous since there are SO MANY beer commercials today, but hey, maybe switch to some red wine? And limit yourself to 2 glasses. Factor this into your calories. I know I'll be indulging in some champagne or red wine on Valentine's day, but I'm also setting myself up so this is a treat--not drinking it every night like I used to.
4. Realize you're human and just factor this into your food for the week. If you decide to indulge, don't beat yourself up. Just get your workout in, make sure to meal prep for the week, and stay on track. You've designated today as your fun day, so just be a little more conscious during the week! I know I'll be doing that on Valentine's day....a vegan cookie will be happening that's for sure. <3
5. Eat before you party--not only if you decide to drink, but so you're not starving when you walk in to the heaps of doritos and mountains of queso. Eat a meal beforehand, and bring your own snacks to share--healthy doesn't have to mean tasteless or boring. I posted a delicious vegan mac n cheese recipe yesterday that you can put over chili, zoodles, chips, pretzels, whatever! It's made of plants too, so no stomachache ;)
**You're human. Balance is what matters. Enjoy your life and indulge occasionally. Don't beat yourself up, just get right back on track tomorrow! :)
Happy Super Bowl!!

A beginner's guide to the Hibernate JPQL and Native Query Plan Cache
以下为 快照 页面,建议前往来源网站查看,会有更好的阅读体验。
原文链接: https://www.tuicool.com/articles/hit/jaE3qqv
(Last Updated On: July 4, 2018)
Every JPQL query must be compiled prior to being executed, and, because this process might be resource intensive, Hibernate provides a
QueryPlanCache for this purpose.
For entity queries, the query
String representation is parsed into an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree). For native queries, the parsing phase cannot compile the query, so it only extracts information about the named parameters and query return type.
The query plan cache is shared by entity and native queries, and its size is controlled by the following configuration property:
<property name="hibernate.query.plan_cache_max_size" value="2048" />
By default, the
QueryPlanCache stores 2048 plans which is sufficient for many small and medium-sized enterprise applications.
For native queries, the
QueryPlanCache stores also the
ParameterMetadata which holds info about parameter name, position, and associated Hibernate type. The
ParameterMetadata cache is controlled via the following configuration property:
<property name="hibernate.query.plan_parameter_metadata_max_size" value="128" />
If the application executes more queries than the
QueryPlanCache can hold, there is going to be a performance penalty due to query compilation.
Testing time
Assuming we have the following entities in our application:
@Entity(name = "Post") @Table(name = "post") public class Post { @Id private Long id; private String title; @OneToMany( mappedBy = "post", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true ) private List<PostComment> comments = new ArrayList<>(); public void addComment(PostComment comment) { comments.add(comment); comment.setPost(this); } //Getters and setters omitted for brevity } @Entity(name = "PostComment") @Table(name = "post_comment") public class PostComment { @Id private Long id; @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY) private Post post; private String review; //Getters and setters omitted for brevity }
We are going to measure the compile phase for the following JPQL and native queries:
protected Query getEntityQuery1(EntityManager entityManager) { return entityManager.createQuery( "select new " + " com.vladmihalcea.book.hpjp.hibernate.fetching.PostCommentSummary( " + " p.id, p.title, c.review ) " + "from PostComment c " + "join c.post p") .setFirstResult(10) .setMaxResults(20) .setHint(QueryHints.HINT_FETCH_SIZE, 20); } protected Query getEntityQuery2(EntityManager entityManager) { return entityManager.createQuery( "select c " + "from PostComment c " + "join fetch c.post p " + "where p.title like :title" ); } protected Query getNativeQuery1(EntityManager entityManager) { return entityManager.createNativeQuery( "select p.id, p.title, c.review * " + "from post_comment c " + "join post p on p.id = c.post_id ") .setFirstResult(10) .setMaxResults(20) .setHint(QueryHints.HINT_FETCH_SIZE, 20); } protected Query getNativeQuery2(EntityManager entityManager) { return entityManager.createNativeQuery( "select c.*, p.* " + "from post_comment c " + "join post p on p.id = c.post_id " + "where p.title like :title") .unwrap(NativeQuery.class) .addEntity(PostComment.class) .addEntity(Post.class); }
The measurements are going to be done as follows:
protected void compileQueries( Function<EntityManager, Query> query1, Function<EntityManager, Query> query2) { LOGGER.info("Warming up"); doInJPA(entityManager -> { for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { query1.apply(entityManager); query2.apply(entityManager); } }); LOGGER.info( "Compile queries for plan cache size {}", planCacheMaxSize ); doInJPA(entityManager -> { for (int i = 0; i < 2500; i++) { long startNanos = System.nanoTime(); query1.apply(entityManager); timer.update( System.nanoTime() - startNanos, TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS ); startNanos = System.nanoTime(); query2.apply(entityManager); timer.update( System.nanoTime() - startNanos, TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS ); } }); logReporter.report(); }
And, the JUnit test methods can simply call the
compileQueries method like this:
@Test public void testEntityQueries() { compileQueries( this::getEntityQuery1, this::getEntityQuery2 ); } @Test public void testNativeQueries() { compileQueries( this::getNativeQuery1, this::getNativeQuery2 ); }
The plan cache size is going to be varied using the
@Parameterized JUnit feature:
private final int planCacheMaxSize; public PlanCacheSizePerformanceTest( int planCacheMaxSize) { this.planCacheMaxSize = planCacheMaxSize; } @Parameterized.Parameters public static Collection<Integer[]> rdbmsDataSourceProvider() { List<Integer[]> planCacheMaxSizes = new ArrayList<>(); planCacheMaxSizes.add(new Integer[] {1}); planCacheMaxSizes.add(new Integer[] {100}); return planCacheMaxSizes; } @Override protected void additionalProperties( Properties properties) { properties.put( "hibernate.query.plan_cache_max_size", planCacheMaxSize ); properties.put( "hibernate.query.plan_parameter_metadata_max_size", planCacheMaxSize ); }
So, we will vary the
QueryPlanCache and the
ParameterMetadata cache size from 1 to 100. When the plan cache size is 1, the queries are always going to be compiled while when the plan cache size is 100, the query plans will be served from the cache.
When running the aforementioned unit tests, we'll get the following results.
JPQL entity query plan cache performance
As you can clearly see, JPQL entity queries can greatly benefit the query plan cache, and that's why you should make sure the
hibernate.query.plan_cache_max_size can accommodate the vast majority of entity queries your application needs to run.
QueryPlanCache affects both JPQL and Criteria API queries since Criteria queries are translated to JPQL.
Native query plan cache performance
While not as spectacular as for JPQL queries, the query plan cache can speed up native queries as well so make sure you set the
hibernate.query.plan_parameter_metadata_max_size configuration property right.
Named queries
There is no obvious performance gain for using named queries over dynamic ones because, behind the scenes, a named query is able to cache only its definition (e.g.
NamedQueryDefinition ), and the actual query plan cache is available for both dynamic and named queries.
The most important settings that you need to take into consideration are the ones that govern the Hibernate query plan cache.
If you enjoyed this article, I bet you are going to love my Book and Video Courses as well.
For entity queries, the plan cache can really make a difference in terms of performance. For native queries, the gain is less significant.
The plan cache storing both entity and native queries, it is important to adjust its size so that it can accommodate all queries being executed. Otherwise, some entity queries might have to be recompiled, therefore increasing the current transaction response time.

This article gives anecdotal evidences that the Lebanese public sector is overstaffed and wasteful with many government entities being funded but without any purpose. This is the root cause of the chronic budget deficit which politicians are reluctant to address.
Read more: http://www.dailystar.com.lb/Business/Local/2018/Feb-06/436994-lebanons-stagnant-public-bodies-command-million-dollar-budgets.ashx
Budget deficits are as common as the 'common cold' today. Unfortunately, a number of economies are suffering from mismanagement of the financial assets of the country. Moreover, the corruption in the government adds fuel to the fire.
How can a country get rid of its financial debts to third parties? How can a country stop borrowing from the World bank? And how can a country reach a point of solvency that is healthy and profitable for the entire economy?
Could it be a case of managing the country, its assets, debts, liabilities, cash reserves and so on just as a CEO would manage a business?
Most individuals reach the level of a CEO through their hard work and perseverance, but what more can a CEO learn to help his company grow? (or what more could the President / Prime Minister learn to help the country grow?) A doctor of business administration (DBA), that's what!
A DBA is designed to help professionals reach a higher level of understanding through research and cognitive thinking capabilities, thus, allowing them to reach deep into the crevices of their organizations and make effective change for the betterment of the entire company.
It is easy to have a bird's eye view of the company through the financial statements, but if you dig deeper into the documents and identify the various spokes that impact the profit or loss of the company, the respective department can then review performance and make tremendous impact on the solvency of the organization as a whole.
As an example, say we have a company made up of 5 departments; Sales, Marketing, Administrative, Finance and Logistics. Each department is linked to the other and contributes to the output of that department. From a costs perspective, if the marketing department were to identify better sources or platforms for marketing that would generate better leads, this would then translate into better sales for the organization increasing revenue, which would then impact the work load of the administrative department to complete the paperwork and documents. Finally, both finance and logistics are directly influenced by the number of sales and the accuracy of the documents submitted by the administrative departments. Furthermore, if logistics negotiates a better deal with the courier/freight forwarding companies then costs would drop and this would prove beneficial to the company as a whole. But only when a CEO or the CFO digs deep into the books and understands and researches. Something they will learn on the DBA!

Data highlights that older adults who live alone don't have a feeling of community and belonging, and are more likely to experience signs of depression
PHILADELPHIA— More than one-third (33.6%) of Southeastern Pennsylvania (SEPA) adults (65+) live alone, according to data from the 2012 Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey, a survey conducted by Public Health Management Corporation's (PHMC's) Center for Data Innovation. Among older adults who live alone, nearly 20 percent experience signs of major depression. Living alone is an important indicator of social isolation, as are feelings of community and neighborhood safety, belonging and togetherness.
These data are significant in light of Older American Month, an annual campaign created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living to recognize older Americans and provide them with information to help them stay healthy and active. PHMC affiliate, Caring People Alliance addresses this issue in SEPA through the Caring Paws Animal-Assisted Therapy program, which provides therapeutic and educational programming to homebound seniors in over 40 facilities. The therapy addresses the isolation and disconnect from society that older adults often experience, including loneliness, helplessness, depression and self-worth, through connections and the love they receive from animals.
"For the past 17 years, I've been able to see first-hand just how much animals can impact the lives of older adults who live alone," said Marjorie Shoemaker, Director of Caring Paws. "From a 90 year-old with dementia who lived for visits from our guinea pigs to seniors at an adult day center that had a facility dog that responded to their needs, the program positively impacts the lives of seniors."
The SEPA Household Health Survey data below focuses on key household, neighborhood, safety and overall well-being factors affecting older adults 65 years of age and older.
The Older Adult Population in the Region
- There are approximately 578,500 adults 65 years of age and older in the SEPA region, according to 2013 U.S. Census updates.
- Of the five counties, Montgomery County has the largest percentage of older adults (15.9%), followed by Bucks (15.7%), Delaware (15.0%), Chester (13.8%), and Philadelphia (12.7%) Counties.
Living Alone
One-third of adults 65 years of age and older live alone (33.6%) across the SEPA region.
- The percentage of older adults living alone is highest in Philadelphia County (39.3%) followed by Montgomery (35.5%), Bucks (29.4%), Delaware (29.0%) and Chester (26.0%) Counties.
- Women 65 years of age and older are more likely to live alone (37.8%) compared to men (27.3%).
- Nearly half of older adults living below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level live alone (47.7%) compared to approximately one-third of adults at or above 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (32.3%).
- In addition, nearly half of older adults who are Latino live alone (47.8%) compared to four in ten black adults (39.0%) and about one-third of white adults (31.9%).
- Older adults who live alone are more likely to experience signs of major depression (19.0%) compared to adults who do not live alone (11.9%). Major depression is defined as experiencing four or more depressive symptoms according to a 10-item depression scale.
Safety, Neighborhood and Community Factors
Feelings of Safety in One's Neighborhood
- While 5.4 percent of older adults (65+) across the SEPA region did not go somewhere during the day in the past month because they felt unsafe, this percentage is twice as high in Philadelphia County (10.6%).
- This percentage is one-tenth or greater among older adults living below 100 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (13.7%) and among Latino (12.0%) and black (10.2%) older adults.
Access to Outdoor Space
- Older adults in Philadelphia County are the most likely NOT to have a park or outdoor space they are comfortable visiting (38.7%) compared to Delaware (31.5%), Chester (28.0%), Montgomery (26.8%) and Bucks (25.8%) Counties.
- Women who are 65 years of age or older are more likely NOT to have a comfortable park or outdoor space to visit (34.1%) in comparison to 27.3 percent of men.
- This percentage is highest among black older adults (42.2%) compared to 29.3 percent of white and 27.0 percent of Latino adults.
Feelings of Neighborhood Togetherness
- When looking at adults 65 years of age and older, those living in Bucks County are more likely NOT to work with their neighbors on improvement projects (59.4%) compared to older adults in Montgomery (54.7%), Delaware (50.5%), Chester (49.6%) and Philadelphia (35.2%) Counties.
- In addition, when looking at race/ethnicity, nearly six in ten Latino adults (57.1%) and half of white adults (51.7%) do NOT work with their neighbors compared to 28.6% percent of black adults.
Feelings of Neighborhood Belonging
- Older adults (65+) in Philadelphia County are the most likely to disagree or strongly disagree that they feel they belong and are part of their neighborhood (11.5%); Delaware County has the smallest percentage of older adults who disagree/strongly disagree they belong in their neighborhood (6.3%).
- Older adults who are living below 100% of the Federal Poverty are twice as likely to feel they do not belong in their neighborhood (17.4%) compared to those at or above the Federal Poverty Level (8.8%).
Participation in Neighborhood Organizations
- More than half of Philadelphia older adults (65+) do NOT participate in any local groups or neighborhood organizations (53.5%). This percentage is lowest in Chester County with 35.5 percent of older adults not participating in neighborhood groups.
- Older adults living below 100 percent of the Federal Poverty Line are more likely not to participate in local groups (54.3%) compared to those at or above the Federal Poverty Level (44.2%).
- In addition, more than half of black older adults do not participate in neighborhood organizations (52.6%) in comparison to white (43.9%) and Latino (33.6%) older adults.
These household, neighborhood and community factors are important social determinants of health and can have a significant impact on the overall well-being of older adults, many of whom have additional health-related needs. As the older adult population in our region, state and across the country grows, it is critical to raise awareness around the disparities and outstanding needs experienced by older adults.

Do people still buy iPods? To some, they seem like an irrelevant relic from the past. To others, they still serve the purpose of being a daily music listening companion. I fall under the second group of listeners.
Does Using An iPod Make Me A Loser?
Anytime I pull my iPod Classic out of my pocket in a group of people, it's always accompanied by at least one person making a joke about how long it's been since they've seen one of "those things".
My reply is always the same. I laugh along, but depending on the group of people, I might either add some reasoning behind why I still use an iPod, or I'll just let it go.
Your Ears Know What Sounds The Best
The audiophile within me holds the knowledge that there's not one smartphone out there yet that sounds as good as my "relic" does.
I do understand the good-natured teasing aspect involved, especially when it's coming from younger people, which it usually is by the way. What I don't understand is the fact that when I've felt it appropriate to explain why it's still my device of choice, it usually falls on deaf ears. I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way, you might've even stumbled upon this page because you do agree with the message.
iPods Still Pack a Sonic Punch (Not To Mention The Amount of Storage)
Not everyone cares as much about the quality of the sound that they listen to, as much as our small community at Sonic Elevation does.
That's fine, to each his own. Carpe Diem.
If you really want to "seize the day" and experience the music how it was intended to be heard, I'd go with the iPod over using your smartphone that has limited storage space and seems to be more of a headache to use.
Plug-In Your Headphones, Your Amp, And… BLAST-OFF!
If you find yourself a solid pair of headphones, load up your iPod with your favorite albums or songs, and add a nice portable headphone amplifier, it's game over.
It even almost seems as if FiiO specifically designed their amps to fit with a smaller device such as an iPod or other MP3 player. Don't get me wrong, you can make it work with a smartphone, but as you can see in the picture, the width of the iPod attached to the amplifier allows for a much better fit and feel in the palm of your hand.
Find Out For Yourself, You Know How I Feel About It
Once again, I always encourage doing your own research, but after years of trial and error, this has been my experience thus far. I will be doing a review on portable headphone amplifiers in the future, but this should give you a good head start on the race to elevate yourself sonically.
