Deformation Analysis
Measurement, detection and analyses of buildings and facilities regarding their locations are called as deformation analysis. It is very significant that measurement of deformation or potential issues be predicted in advance. For example, it is required that potential movements on a dam's body should delicately be observed after the completion of construction while collecting water. It has now become possible to carry out measurements with high precision with the improving technology. Our company accomplishes Deformation measurement and analysis studies very successfully.

How will rising interest rates impact the US housing market? 6:49 AM ET Thu, 1 march 2018 fannie mae chief economist Doug Duncan discusses how spiking interest rates could impact home.

Money Market Accounts are sorted in the table above according to their money market rates, from highest to lowest.Top Mortgage Rates Today Note Rate Vs Apr At first glance, Mortgage 2 might appear to be the better option because it offers a lower interest rate, but this is only part of the equation.

The most recent data show that this spread widened somewhat in early 2019, with VA loan rates pricing as much as 0.23% lower than comparable conventional loans in March.
What recent changes in the housing market and mortgage interest rates mean for HECM lenders We rarely discuss what is happening in the traditional mortgage market. Yet the larger overall mortgage market and prevailing 30-year mortgage rates have a direct impact on reverse mortgage borrowers and our industry at large.
The result is a housing market where prices are detached from household income and interest rates – rather than income – are a main driver of economic activity. Mortgage rates were in a long slow decline prior to the 2007 – 2008 housing market crash which provoked even lower rates.
meaning short-term interest rates were higher than longer-term ones. The so-called 'inversion phenomenon is viewed by markets as a reliable harbinger of recession. Economists have warned for.
As interest rates rise, the value of any future cash flow decreases, which in turn lowers the value of the asset (real estate property). Another way to look at this is that higher interest rates cause investors to demand a higher return, which makes any property less appealing given the return on that specific investment remains unchanged.
The current rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage is at 4.83 percent, according to Bankrate. For perspective, rates reached highs of 18.5 percent in 1981, so even a rise above 5 percent would be.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are 78 million Boomers in the U.S. today, the largest demographic segment of the population. This group will spend an estimated $2 trillion annually. A sizable portion of Boomers are those new to the Empty Nest lifestyle, a time of great change and new opportunities.
According to a recent report by JTW Boom, found that while a portion of Empty Nesters are sad that their children have left home, the majority cite a better quality of life with the freedom, more time to take care of themselves, theopportunity for closer relationships with their spouse, and the time and money to enjoy doing new things they never would have done before, as the benefits of Empty Nesting.
The report continues "Empty Nesters have new needs, desires and activities as they rediscover themselves and their partners – presenting a great opportunity for marketers to show how their products and services into the new life stage."
EmptyNesterAdventures.com has been created to provide an online resource and establish virtual communitythat taps into the needs, desires, interests, and activities of those finding themselves in this new season of life.
The Market:
- Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964
- There are 78 million of us representing a quarter of the US population
- The fastest growing segment of the population over the next five years will be the 60-64-year-old cohort, considered the leading edge of the Boomers
- According to American Demographics, every minute from now until 2014, seven Baby Boomers will turn 50
- In the last decade, there has been a 28% growth in households without children now totaling 46 million
- 72% of all US homes are projected to be childless in 2010
- According to Google, Boomers account for the most time spent online of any group, with 56 million people spending 91 billion minutes online.
Their Influence & Power:
- Boomers have $3 trillion in disposable income
- They represent 50% of all discretionary spending power
- They control more than 80% of all personal financial assets
- Don't make the mistake of thinking Boomers and Empty Nesters are retired…The highest medium US household income is working boomers ($77,634)
- They buy…
- 80% of all leisure travel
- 77% of all prescription meds
- 61% of all OTC drugs
Unlike their parents, Baby Boomers are ready to reclaim their independence. A national Boomer survey by Del Webb, the nation's leading builder of active adult communities, found 58 percent said they are emotionally prepared for their children to leave home. Most expect their disposable income to increase by about $10,000 annually after the kids leave, expect their relationship with their spouse or significant other to improve and look forward to getting back to what they were accused of being–the "me" generation.
What Are Empty Nesters Seeking?
We are spending $2 trillion annually and now that the kids are gone have the time and money to get the things we want. A partial list includes:
- Adult living communities
- Appliances including kitchen and home entertainment
- Automotive
- Cosmetic surgery & dentistry

midi send & retum
I want to edit the midi in the timeline. When the timeline is started, the midi sends and returns to millumin, which controls some of the functions on millumin. But millumin can't receive the midi signal sent by itself. Is there a way to solve it? Of course, by sending it to other software and then returning, but this is more troublesome
Hello @Eason,It is important to avoid infinite feedback loop in MIDI, OSC, DMX, ... That is why Millumin (or other softwares) prevents it.If you want to use the timeline to send signals to control Millumin, you can do it with OSC. See attached project.Best.

Cornwall makes impact on debut but India recover against West Indies
Rahkeem Cornwall.
Rahkeem Cornwall made an impactful debut for West Indies with a wicket and two catches at slip, but India closed a keenly-contested opening day of the second Test at Sabina Park in Kingston on 264-5 after being asked to bat first on a green pitch on Friday.
The visitors had to recover from a shaky start to establish control - thanks in no small part to captain Virat Kohli.
Coming in at 46-2, Kohli helped to stabilise the India innings as he and opener Mayank Agarwal put on a crucial 69-run partnership for the third wicket.
Kohli went on to make 76 and Agarwal contributed 55 as India patiently amassed a steady total.
The India skipper became the third of West Indies counterpart Jason Holder's three wickets when he finally departed, edging behind to debutant wicketkeeper Jahmar Hamilton, leaving the tourists on 202-5.
At that stage, the day could have still swung West Indies' way.
However, Hanuma Vihari (42 not out) and Rishabh Pant (27no) saw India safely to the close of play without any further damage.
West Indies debutant off-spinner Cornwall made a promising start to his international career, taking the early wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara and claiming two catches off Holder's bowling.
He bowled 27 overs at a cost of 69 runs on a day when West Indies leant heavily on spin having elected to bowl first.
Kemar Roach picked up the other wicket to fall – the paceman had Ajinkya Rahane (24) caught behind by Hamilton, who stepped into the home XI to replace the injured Shai Hope behind the stumps.
India lead the two-match series 1-0 after a 318-run victory in the first Test at North Sound, Antigua.
It was a good day for me, my first day in Test cricket, I really enjoyed it. I was in the game from early with the catch and then I got another later on which was quite pleasing. Was also good to get my first wicket... and make a contribution to the team. One more wicket would have been great, but to have them five down is pretty good for us. The first session tomorrow will be crucial," the confident Cornwall told reporters after the day.

Odin is a loveable and playful Alaskan malamute. At first glance, you might say that he is in good shape. However, the truth is, currently, he is still undergoing treatments for his heartworms. After this, his adopted mom would then need to have his teeth corrected.
Why is such a healthy-looking dog with a loving family who takes good care of him have to undergo some treatments? Well, Odin was once an unfortunate dog.
He did not look as healthy before. In fact, if you take a look at his rescue photos, you will not be able to recognize him at all.
The once poor pup was owned by breeders who never had the heart to take good care of him. His living conditions way back then were very meager. He doesn't look like an Alaskan malamute at all; his fur was very sparse, and his eyes radiated sadness and fear.
The rescuers from Southern Cross Animal Rescue of Mississippi and Southern Pines Animal Shelter were the ones responsible for his second chance. After they rescued the abandoned dog, he was given to Sydney Schelkopf for fostering.
Sydney claimed that seeing Odin for the first time broke her heart. He has lots of wounds, skin infections and he appeared starved and malnourished. When she brought her to her house, he acted so naïve and bewildered which made her think that he might have never been in a home before.
As a pup, he was not able to live a normal life, so he didn't know how to act normally, let alone play with toys. Sydney knew that he needed all the love and care that she can give, and so she made up her mind to adopt Odin.
Few months after Sydney took in Odin, the once emaciated pup looks very different. His fur is now fluffy and shiny, and his eyes are filled with friendliness and joy.

"Highly recommend Atera"
Comments: Customers are happy that I can quickly and easily remotely connect to their computers and resolve issues. Generating reports for customers is very valuable as it shows what my customers are getting for the price they pay for my services. Having customers simply send an email for support tickets has greatly reduced call volume and made things less stressful.
Pros: Atera is very much interested in what their customers think and request for suggestions or improvements. Atera is affordable because they charge per technician instead of per end point. The Atera interface is fast and not bogged down with so many features that it makes it confusing and time consuming. I really like that the main features of support tickets, Alerts, and Reports are easy to get to and analyze. The support ticket system is quick and easy to use as a technician and it's great that customers just have to send a simple email to create a support ticket. Atera Reports are great to create and send to customers to show what is happening behind the scenes. Remote connection to customers' computers is another feature that works very well. Connecting remotely to my customers' computers is quick and easy. No messing around with codes or having customers download and install extra special software.
Cons: Not much to dislike about Atera. I would like to see the Alerts to be improved upon by making them not alert me every time a computer has a small spike in CPU and/or memory usage as well as temperatures. I would also like to see the Atera website more compatible with the new Microsoft Edge browser that is being released in January of 2020. Currently the support tickets' information details appear as narrow paragraphs. Currently there is no mobile app to get notifications of new support tickets and to access and edit current support tickets.

"Quality has gone downhill"
Comments: We have been with Atera since 2015. We have seen a lot of changes, most for the better. But at the start of 2019 everything has gone down hill. The site is slow, remote support (Splashtop) frequently goes down, and the lack of true support. What I mean by lack of true support is that they know they have a problem on their end, yet you get a canned response from them to flush your cookies and history. We are a IT company! We know a problem when we see one, and flushing our browsers is not going to fix the issues they are having. It is quite embarrassing when a customer calls you and you are unable to help them remotely because your systems don't work. Time to move to another RMM!
Pros: The price point for this product is excellent, if it worked properly.
Cons: Constant issues in the past few months. Cannot use remote frequently, it fails consistently since January 2019. Customer support is responsive in a canned response kind of way.

"The best software for an SMB MSP"
Comments: Overall this is an outstanding product. It has radical pricing, and integrates so easily with the rest of my business. With it's lightweight tools, I can run everything from a tablet even. New features are being brought out all the time, that I can choose to incorporate or not, and with the branding options, my customers see MY logo and my menu items. There is no better product on the market.
Pros: I run a small MSP focused on providing IT services to small (<50 employees) businesses. I have tried many software packages over the 15 years I have been in business, and all of them suffered from the same weakness. Ease of use/learning curve. They may have had some great features, but I would never get to use them because they were lost in a sea of confusion. The interface for Atera is clean, simple, and effective. You can do everything you need to without having to dig for it. If I have to search for a feature, I am not going to remember that it is even there to use, and with Atera, it is all laid out so well that it is intuitive. You open your account, setup your clients, and away you go. Nothing else even comes close to comparing
Cons: The only part that is clumsy in my opinion is the patching. Rather than approving patches, you exclude patches. Back when most of my users had windows 7 this was more of an issue, as I tended towards rolling out ones I knew had no issues, rather than selectively declining. The list of patches you are excluding becomes tediously long and difficult to manage, but with Windows 10, you can only put off patches so long before they are just going to be forced, so in reality patching, where it used to be a major part of our service, is now more of an afterthought.

Comments: Overall we love ATERA, we use it daily to perform several tasks, monitor our client's entire networks and PC's we are then able to suggest improvements and stay on top of our client's needs.

Starflower oil is sourced from the Borago officinalis plant found throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean regions of the world. The blue star-shaped flower can be consumed as a vegetable, with the oil from the seeds often pressed and its oils used within herbal remedies.
The oil is high in omega 6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid or GLA. GLA is particularly beneficial as it helps to reduce inflammation in the body, while other types of omega 6 will increase inflammation. Because of its high GLA content, starflower oil provides important health benefits.
Omega 6 are necessary for health, but the body can not produce them. Star flower oil's anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce joint pain, stiffness and swelling just as a start.
One of the most researched uses for starflower oil is treating inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema. GLA has been shown to correct some deficiencies in skin lipids when the skin can't produce enough protective oils. The result is an imbalance within the immune system, increasing inflammation and immune responses which result in a flare-up of the skin, including those typical of eczema.
GLA is known to help stimulate blood flow, which is why some experts believe that it may help remedy one of the main reasons for male impotence. It can also help women who are unable to conceive by improving uterine function.
Starflower oil can be manufactured into softgel and liquid capsule format. Often combined with added vitamins, starflower oil is a great addition to a beauty and wellness brand in any format.

This guest post published by Sean Houser, who deals with strategies on beating online competition through ppc, web 2.0, affiliate marketing, and many others. For more information visit his site.
Every little bit of [tag-tec]traffic[/tag-tec] helps an online business. To pull in as much web traffic as possible, you sometimes have to take advantage of events that are only going on for a certain period of time. Big name guru launches are a good way to do this. Here are a few things you can do to drive some traffic from big launches.
The first thing you can do is to set up your own blog about the guru. SEO competition for their name shouldn't be difficult and you should be able to rank high relatively quickly. In your blog, squidoo lens, hub page, etc… Talk about guru's launch and how people can learn from the traffic tactics and pre-launch techniques that the marketer is using. Then advertise some affiliate products on your page (possibly made by the same guru).
Next, frequently visit the pre-launch page; a lot of big time launches now-a-days have blogs leading up to the launch. JV partners drive a load of traffic to these blogs so what you should do to squeeze out some traffic is leave a comment after there videos or popular posts (make sure to leave your website url). This way when people read your comment, if you write something intriguing they may take action and visit your site.
Another thing you can do during or even after a bog launch is to add the guru name to your ppc (pay per click) keyword list. Just write something controversial or intriguing about the guru and people will click on your ad. Then just lead them to a webpage or blog that talks a little about the person leading up to your product promotion.
A lot of people are using videos now to get their message across. If the guru put out a Youtube video on his/her site and it's getting a ton of hits, you may want to make a video yourself and name it almost the exact same thing, just add a small misspelling. This way when people search for the video on Google, your video has a chance of showing up and receiving more traffic from search engines.

Dating and marriage customs in canada
At the reception, a guest will grab a big bowl or a hat and shout 'THE BRIDE IS FOR SALE.' He then puts money in the bowl, passes it on, and starts to dance with the bride.Everyone who adds money has a turn at dancing with the bride, until the groom wants a go.As the wedding reception draws to a close, French newlyweds are presented with a real chamber pot, filled with the leftover bits of alcohol from the wedding (and sometimes extra delights like melted chocolate, banana, or even toilet paper! The couple must consume it all before leaving, so as to build up strength before the, er, wedding night ahead.Up until 1994, it was illegal to get married in a venue that had a closed front door!The theory was that anyone who wished to object must have easy access to the ceremony.This complicated marrying at sea: you could only marry on a ship if it was docked and the gangplank was down.Each woman pulls a ribbon out of the cake and discovers a small charm tied to the other end – the one who pulls out the ribbon that has a ring attached will be the next to get married!
At a Finnish wedding reception, the groomsmen will kidnap the bride (often while disguised as gangsters).
As the couple arrives, the mother of the groom welcomes them and ceremonially smashes the bell, bringing the couple good luck and prosperity.
A Belgian bride will carry a handkerchief that has been embroidered with her name.
Then, the bride will be 'kidnapped' – and the groom must perform for the guests to win her back!
In Quebec and other French-speaking parts of Canada, the older, unmarried siblings of the bride and groom perform a dance at the reception while wearing ridiculous, brightly-colored, knitted socks.

In a historic development, majority people of United Kingdom have voted to leave the European Union after 43 years. The 'Brexit' camp, or people supporting Britain's exit from the union, Friday took a seemingly unassailable lead over the 'Remain' camp in a down-to-wire referendum with far reaching implications for the world.
As per international media reports, 52 per cent of the Britons in Thursday's vote favoured leaving the 28-member EU, while 48 per cent supported staying in the bloc. The final national result is to be officially declared by the UK Electoral Commission's chief counting officer.
London and Scotland voted strongly to stay in the EU but the remain vote has been undermined by poor results in the north of England. Voters in Wales and the English shires have backed Brexit in large numbers.
The vote – which saw an extremely high turnout of around 72 per cent with over 30 million people voting- reverses the public verdict back in 1975, when the UK voted to remain a member of then European Economic Community, which later became the EU.
The UK will be the first country to leave the bloc. The argument has swiftly moved to the future and what happens next after the Brexit vote. While the result of a referendum is not legally binding on the UK government, Cameron has repeatedly promised that the will of the people will be accepted.
In the immediate aftermath, Britain will remain a member of the EU and nothing will change instantly.
As expected the, the result sent ripples across the world as the pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985.
India's two bench mark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty both were down by over 2% at the time of closing.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei was down 7.7 per cent to 14,982 points. In South Korea, the Kospi index was 3.9 per cent lower at 1,909.
In China, the mainland Shanghai Composite was down 1.2% to 2,857 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed down by 4.7% to 19,894.
British PM David Cameron has promised to hold a referendum to decide the issue of Britain staying in or leaving the European Union. He also ran a high pitch campaign in support of Britain staying in the Union but could not anticipate the results.
It's great to see Daniel Craig is planning to Vote Remain on Thursday. pic.twitter.com/DZL9CejTmM

Temporary Gifts
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Some Christians limit their spiritual lives to trying to get God to do something for them in this earthly realm. The New Testament, however, continually invites us to participate in the spiritual, eternal world of God's Kingdom. Some throughout the history of the Church have abused this notion by suggesting that the world we live in is evil or that our physical bodies are ungodly. God created the world and everything in it for our pleasure. But He reminds us again and again that while these are gifts entrusted to us, and we are to exercise dominion and stewardship over them, they are only temporary and will pass away. We should not allow the desires of our earthly nature to overwhelm us. We should look for and receive our marching orders from another realm.
Heavenly Father, You remind me again and again that this world is my home for just a short time, a mere blink of the eye compared to the totality of my existence. Give me a renewed vision of eternity, Lord, and help to keep it in view as I work to fulfill Your purposes for me during my days in the earth. In Jesus' name, amen.

Sunday, March 18 was a pretty exciting day for me as it was my first baby shower! Thrown by one of my bestest buddies, and on a completely gorgeous day, it was one of the best baby showers I'd ever attended. Sure, I was the guest of honor so I'm biased, but it was just so much fun to have so many friends and family there. Oh and did I mention that we hosted it at my friend's chocolate shop and instead of games we did a chocolate tasting? Yeah, best baby shower ever. But enough talk, let me show you.
Me and the hostess:
Some of the yummy food:
Aren't those cupcakes adorable? The white ones were funfetti and the chocolate ones had some sort of cream cheese filling in the bottoms. So delicious! I was
sort of really glad that there were a few leftovers for me to take home since so many people were on sugar over-load thanks to the chocolate tasting.
Speaking of the chocolate tasting, here's everyone getting a brief history lesson on the origins of chocolate from my friend and shop owner, Brian.
And here we have cacao in the raw:
Another group shot:
All of the "samples":
Here's what they look like when they're for sale in the shop:
In lieu of traditional games, we only played baby shower BINGO. If you're not familiar with this game, everyone is given a little BINGO card and you fill out each square with the name of a baby item you think the mom-to-be will receive as a gift. Then, as she's opening her gifts, you cross out the items that she gets if they match what's on your card until someone – or five someones – reach BINGO. Pretty simple and it keeps the guests from being super bored while watching someone else open presents.
The other thing my shower hostess did was have everyone fill out a cute little "wishes for baby" card. It looked like this:
Super cute!
There are a ton of awkward photos of me opening presents, but I'll just show you some of the least awkward among them.
The first gift I opened was an adorable playmat.
Instead of regular greeting cards, all the invitations asked guests to bring a book for the baby. I got SO MANY cute books! Which is great, because I had almost zero before yesterday. This one was one of my favorites:
And the hubs especially loved these little onesies:
I can't get over just how thoughtful everyone was! We got SO MUCH STUFF and I feel 100 times better about having a baby now that we actually have some baby supplies – diapers, wipes, lotion, shampoo, a monitor, a pack 'n play, high chair, blankets, clothes, books, bottles, bibs, and so much more. It was the perfect day for a perfect shower with perfect friends and family and I am so thankful to my bestie for all the work she did to host it, thankful for my mom for paying for everyone's chocolate tastings, and thankful to Brian at Kakao for providing the perfect setting.
If you live in St. Louis and you're in need of some of the best chocolate you'll ever put in your mouth, check him out here: Kakao Chocolate
And if you're looking for a cool place to host a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, engagement party, etc. then ask him about his events schedule. He does chocolate and wine pairing events after hours which sound super fun, you know, if you're not growing a baby and all.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy directed at the head is effective in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to the head to see how well it works in preventing brain metastases in women receiving trastuzumab and chemotherapy for metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer
|Biological: trastuzumab Drug: chemotherapy Radiation: radiation therapy
|Phase 3
- To test if prophylactic cranial radiotherapy delivering 30 Gy in 10 fractions will significantly reduce (from 35% to 21% at 2 years) the incidence of symptomatic brain metastases in patients treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin®) for metastatic breast cancer.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified by center, type of systemic therapy (trastuzumab [Herceptin®] monotherapy vs combination with chemotherapy), hormone receptor status, and presence of lung metastases (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive taxane/trastuzumab therapy for 6 weeks. While continuing taxane/trastuzumab therapy, patients then undergo 10 fractions of concurrent prophylactic cranial radiotherapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm II: Patients receive taxane/trastuzumab therapy without concurrent prophylactic cranial radiotherapy.
All patients undergo quality of life assessments every 8 weeks for 9 months.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for at least 1 year.

Boston, MA - Mortality risk increases significantly in individuals who have albumin in their urine, even if they do not have marked reductions in kidney function, as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), according to findings presented at the National Kidney Foundation 2016 Spring Clinical Meetings.
Albuminuria is a condition where kidney dysfunction allows protein (albumin) to spill into the urine. It is one of the earliest signs of kidney disease and has been linked to high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and metabolic syndrome.
Linking albuminuria to increased mortality in individuals without significant reductions in eGFR suggests that there could be benefits to more widespread screening for albuminuria, given that urine testing is relatively inexpensive.
"Our study found that individuals with albuminuria had approximately twice the risk of mortality, at all levels of eGFR, compared to individuals without albuminuria," said Jennifer Bragg-Gresham, PhD, research scientist at the University of Michigan. "Our results suggest that increased albuminuria testing, even among those with normal eGFR, could provide the impetus for preventive measures to lower mortality risk."
The study was based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 25,160 adults, excluding those with kidney failure. Researchers investigated the association of eGFR and albuminuria (urine albumin/creatinine ratio >30 mg/g) on mortality using survey weighted Cox models that were adjusted for age, sex, race, BMI, diabetes, hypertension, and medication usage.
Researchers found that individuals with albuminuria had double the risk of mortality at all levels of eGFR, meaning that even if an individual's kidneys were filtering at a normal rate, they were at higher risk of mortality.
Previous studies have shown that albuminuria is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is also associated with a more rapid progression of kidney disease and greater risk of kidney failure.
According to Dr. Bragg-Gresham, analysis of NHANES data indicates that approximately 8% of the US population has albuminuria. However, current screening guidelines miss many of these individuals because it is recommended that annual urine testing be done only among specific patient populations such as those with diabetes, high blood pressure, age over 60, and those with a family history of kidney failure.
"The problem is that awareness of kidney disease is very low, especially in its early stages, where albuminuria is present without a decrease in eGFR," said Dr. Bragg-Gresham.
After publishing their findings later this year, Dr. Bragg-Gresham and her team will focus on the cost-benefit of expanding urine albumin testing guidelines to a larger proportion of the population.
"Based on our estimates, over 15 million people in the United States have albuminuria without a decrease in eGFR," she said. "If less than 5% of these individuals are aware they have early stage kidney disease, there are potentially more than 14.5 million individuals who could be identified and measures taken to slow the progression of their kidney disease and reduce their risk of all-cause mortality"
The NKF 2016 Spring Clinical Meetings are being held April 27 to May 1, in Boston, MA. For additional program information, visit www.NKFClinicalMeetings.org.

Walthamstow Reservoirs - Lockwood and High Maynard.
I walked up around west side of Lockwood, bumping into David, who told me about the female Goldeneye on the north western side.
Then walked down the east side of Lockwood until the top of High Maynard.
Watched a Grey Wagtail feeding.
Then found two Common Sandpipers on the channel ramp of the east side of High Maynard (one that let me get quite close for some pics and a video).
After watching the Common Sandpiper, I noticed that David had tweeted about a Lapwing and a drake Goldeneye on West Warwick. Sadly, I had an appointment I had to keep and didn't have the time to get round there.

Sorry, Folks, We Were Just Kidding. The L Train Won't Shut Down After All, Says Cuomo
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but does anyone feel like a betrayed spouse after Cuomo's revelation the L train will not shut down after all?
Here's what's changed and what you need to know about the L train tunnel repair, in a nutshell:
- The tunnel is fine. The MTA needs to stop water leaking into an outer tunnel layer where electronics are housed, according to the New York Times.
- The MTA is going to use fiber optic system cables to detect water movement on the outer tunnel wall so they know where repair is needed, according to Gothamist.
- They're going to wrap those walls in fiberglass instead of replace them to stop the leaking.
- The work will be done on nights and weekends and last 15 to 20 months.
In Cuomo's own words, quoted in Gothamist:
What this group did is looked at the various needs, scoured the world, and came up with the best ideas across the world and then knit together a program," Cuomo said. "No one has used fiber optic system cables on bench walls to detect motion. I don't even know what that means. No one has ever used fiber glass wrapping on bench walls so you don't have to replace them. This has never been done before.
Who knows? Maybe it will turn out the DOT was just joking about dismantling the Brooklyn Heights Promenade to repair the Brooklyn Queens Expressway.

Georgia Football Knee Jerk Reactions: Auburn Edition
It was all bad just two weeks ago.
We were all there commiserating, just as we're all here now partying. The small sample size of college football lends itself mightily to the overreactions that fan bases are known for, but if you're looking for someone to rain on the parade after beating Auburn…

Sorry, I'm not that guy.
This wasn't just a home win against a top 10 opponent. It was domination, pure and simple, to the point that the #BEATEMDOWN feels reductive to the point of being insulting. Offense. Defense. Even (gasp) Special Teams. Everyone in the red and black stepped up, and if the on-the-scene texts from the rest of the Dude You Crazy crew are to believed, the celebration of this win was one to behold.
In a rivalry game against the mighty SEC West, on a national stage, for any shot at a spot in the SEC Title game, this team delivered. One of those weeks where I'm more than happy to re-watch the game. In the name of research, you see.
The Good:
– The run defense. Barring that first drive, this was hands down the best defensive performance I've seen out of Georgia this season. The front seven did a great job of gang tackling, operating as one cohesive unit versus the disjointed individuals we've seen at times. Even more impressive was the ability of the defensive backs to not only get off blocks, but deliver hits when they did.
– The pass defense. Hey, remember when Georgia fans were worried about this teams ability to stop these SEC spread offenses as Clemson picked apart the middle of the field? Yeah, feels like a lifetime ago; and in the terms of the defense on this team, it really was. I said it last week on the podcast, and I'd like to double down here: this has been a master class of a defense learning on the job, and altering scheme to match talent. Nick Marshall moved around okay, but it seemed like when the pass rush missed him, he just couldn't find anything downfield and had to eat a coverage sack. Bravo Coach Pruitt. Well done.
– The running game. The staple of this Georgia offense all year, it delivered yet again on the biggest stage yet. Todd looked like a man who hadn't taken live snaps in a month, but there were more than a few flashes of Godd Turley that I was more than satisfied with his production. Nick Chubb and the offensive line picked up where they left off against Kentucky, securing the first level, beating up the second level and flat-out running over the third level of the defense.
– The passing game. Gotta clean up the drops (and there were drops Mr. Conley), but Hutson Mason was throwing darts out there all night. And if you can't celebrate that, then you might be Jason Smith.
The Bad:
– I'm still mad the game ended.
– Less holding on kickoff returns.
The Ugly
– I'm not ready to talk even semi-intelligently as someone who already hates the NCAA and everything it stands for. Check out tomorrow's Dude You Podcast where I will attempt to parse out how I feel without getting fired from this site. I hated the NCAA before this, and the tone-deaf and injurious way they behaved in this matter only serve to strengthen that hate. More of this will be coming to your earholes tomorrow. Promise.
A huge blowout win, a statement game, a complete and total vanquishing of a rival. It should feel better than this, but even in the light of Gurley's injury, let's not forget to celebrate the whole team. Each young man who took that field in the red and black deserve to have this game not remembered as Todd's Last Stand, but as the night the 2014 Georgia Football Team defined how they would be remembered: a dominant running team with a suffocating defense that will beat you from the first kick off until the final whistle. And that's a pretty good thing to be.
Go Dawgs.
Love this? Hate it? Think I'm an idiot? Don't just curse at me under your breath, head to the Dude You Podcast iTunes page, and leave a 5-star review to make sure I know it, and have your voice heard on the air.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei Markets) -- Malaysia's exports rose 17.7% in October from a year earlier to new record high thanks to stronger shipments of electronics and a surge of demand from China, official data Wednesday showed.
Exports in October totaled 96.38 billion ringgit ($23.19 billion), according to data released by the Ministry of International Trade And Industry. That compares with September's 6.7% year-on-year increase. On a seasonally-adjusted month-on-month basis, exports climbed 15.1% from September.
Economists said the surge in October's numbers is in line with the trend for other export powerhouses in the region such as Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan at a time when the U.S. and China sparred over trade tariffs.
"The recent pick-up augurs well for growth and the current account in 4Q," said Julia Goh, Kuala Lumpur-based economist at United Overseas Bank. "We think the trade improvements signal potential gains from the ongoing trade tensions."
The U.S. over the weekend agreed to hold off for 90 days on a planned increase in import duties on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. China's Ministry of Commerce said on its website that Beijing will begin to implement measures on which the two nations reached agreed on as soon as possible.
The Xi-Trump meeting was "very successful," the ministry said. The decision follows an agreement between the U.S. and Chinese presidents at a G-20 summit in Argentina over the weekend.
Shipments of electrical and electronics goods, which account for nearly 40% of Malaysia's total exports, increased 23.3% in October from a year earlier while those for petroleum products were 31.2% higher. Palm oil and palm oil-based product exports, however, fell 17.3%.
In terms of markets, exports to Malaysia's largest trading partner, China, gained 33% in October while exports to the U.S. grew 7.6% from a year earlier. Shipments to its Southeast Asian neighbors climbed 16%.
"Malaysia exports growth is expected to remain steady with the increasing contribution of re-exports which established the importance of Malaysia in global value chain," MIDF Amanah Investment Bank wrote in a note to clients.
Earlier data showed that shipments from South Korea surged 22.7% year-on-year in October while Vietnam's exports grew 2.3% in the same month from a year earlier. Singapore's nonoil domestic exports rose 8.3% in October from a year ago.
Imports into Malaysia, meanwhile, grew 11.4% year-on-year to 80.05 billion ringgit in October, led by gains in intermediate and consumption goods. Capital goods imports, however, fell. On a month-on-month, seasonally adjusted basis, imports were 13.7% higher in October.
Trade surplus was at fresh all-time high of 16.32 billion ringgit after widening 63.1% year-on-year and 7.2% month-on-month in October.--Jason Ng

Bufori is an automotive company with a venture capital from Australia and headquarter in Malaysia. The whole concept of the company is to produce super exotic luxury cars in the small series. Actually we cannot talk about serial production of the cars because with an endless customization options, every car is a different product.
The new MKVI Luxury Saloon was presented on the 2010 Geneva Motor Show where a huge interest was noticed for this unusual concept. Because the debut is on this prestigious motor show the code name of the concept is simply Bufori Geneva.
The design of this new concept is inspired by the cars build in 1930 and it is trying to target the niche market for the car enthusiast who loves the concept and design of those times. It is going to be a four door saloon with an endless custom option. For the clients with specific orders and tastes, a lot of options will be available, even a cigar humidor. For the engine there are plans to be a V8 6.1 liter engine. At this moment there is no information which motor making company will provide the engine, but it needs to be with at least 430 hp and 569 Nm of torque. The acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour is for less than 6 seconds and the top speed is more than 260 km/h. The optional supercharger can increase the power of the engine to 560 hp and 690 Nm of torque.
Bufori MkVI Luxury Saloon is going to be made of hybrid carbon fiber and Kevlar. Vinulester resin is also going to be used for the infusion in the body of the car. The front headlamps are going to be integrated bi-xenon lights and the rear lights are going to be LED. The design of the car is with a long running boards classy and classical look and with an optional sunroof and short rear end. The interior will be made of finest materials with some unusual options like tea set with boiling water set, sink, espresso machine and ice box. Mini bar and champagne ice box, place for the glasses and humidor for the expensive cigars. Safe box will be also available for the valuables, money or important documents.
The first Bufori MkVI Luxury Saloon or Bufori Geneva will roll out of the production line by the end of the summer and the first units will be delivered to the clients by the end of 2010.

On Thursday morning, March 16, Ace kicked off its 2017 Spring Convention & Exhibits General Session in Atlanta, Georgia. Singer and former Children's Miracle Network (CMN) hospital patient Angelica Hale delivered a stunning rendition of the national anthem, receiving several minutes of applause from the audience of over 3,500 retailers.
In his segment "The Power of the Co-op," Chairman of the Board Jim Ackroyd greeted attendees and thanked them for their accomplishments. Ace retailers broke a lot of records in 2016, including a 10th J.D. Power Award, a fourth consecutive year of increased transactions, and a 3.9 percent higher gross profit. Ackroyd acknowledged outgoing board members Gina Schaefer and Jeff Girard, and welcomed incoming board member Karen May, executive vice president and chief HR officer of Mondelez International. Ackroyd concluded by announcing CMN All-Star Roxie Schopp. In 2016, Ace stores raised 4.7 million for CMN.
President and CEO John Venhuizen adopted a more serious tone. His speech, entitled "Our War for Relevance," alerted retailers to the growing threat from online commerce. Venhuizen cautioned against the dangers of outdated defensive strategies or, worse yet, complacency. Instead, retailers should focus on the power of Ace's core traits of service, convenience and quality to combat the impersonal online shopping experience. "Identify the enemy's weakness and attack it relentlessly," said Venhuizen, using a historical reference to France's Maginot line of defense.
To help drive home the message, Executive Vice President John Surane took to the stage armed with a series of smartphone poll questions. Retailers were asked to rank themselves on a scale of 1 to 10 against big box and online merchants in the categories of service, convenience and quality. Responses were displayed on the stage screen for all to see. Surane then encouraged retailers to visit specific corporate booths that could provide resources for those areas in need of improvement. Equipped with their convention attack plan, retailers were invited to "make Atlanta famous" for the offers and opportunities found on the show floor.

Solar Pyramids to Power Abu Dhabi's Homes
The project entitled Lunar Cubit develops pyramid shaped solar complex which can develop enough power to thousands of homes. The project is based in Abu Dhabi and the motto of the project goes "Renewable Energy Can Be Beautiful".
The idea was first put forth in the Land Art Generator Initiative contest where designers combine art and renewable energy in to an interdisciplinary area. The competing designs must generate enough power for thousands of homes and should be a landmark. Lunar Cubit became the eventual winner.
The design consists of eight solar panel pyramids enclosing a central large pyramid in a semi circle. The pyramids function as a solar power plant producing enough power to 250 homes. The Lunar Cubit could repay the cost of its construction within 5 years through the clean energy that it produces.
The pyramids act as a Lunar calendar with the central pyramid lighting up inversely depending on the phases of moon, i.e. fully illuminated with the new moon. Each pyramid has its own set of energy efficient LEDs. Surrounding smaller pyramids act like the hands of a clock for the eight phases of the lunar calendar, illuminating in different combinations to indicate the waxing or waning of the moon.
Lunar Cubit was visualized by Robert Flottemesch, Jen DeNike, Johanna Ballhaus, and Adrian P. De Luca. This proposed construction symbolizes the moon, generates clean renewable energy and follows the ancient measurement in being proportionate with the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Giza. With Land Art Generator Initiative on the lookout for partnership deed it won't be long before we see one of these in the land of the Emirates.

Sound! Euphonium
It's Spring in the first year of high school and Kumiko, who was a member of the brass band in middle school, visits the high school brass band club with her classmates Hazuki and Sapphire. There she meets Reina, a former classmate with whom Kumiko has a complex relationship. Whilst Hazuki and Sapphire decide to join the club, Kumiko is indecisive. She played a lot when she was younger, but she can't decide if she wants to take it further. That's when she realise that the club is struggling, and they need advanced players like her. Therefore Kumiko gets roped into joining the club and continuing to play the euphonium.
With a cast and concept similar to the renowned K-ON!, Sound! Euphonium is full of wistful, shoujo-style backgrounds and a cast of cute characters that are all instantly likeable in their own quirky ways. The main characters are all female, though there are a few male supporting characters helping to move the plot along in the wings.
As far as interactions have gone, everything has been very pleasant and enjoyable. It's quite light-hearted with a bit of schoolgirl drama interjecting every now and then – struggling with schoolwork, hints of love triangles and trying to get along with everyone during club hours. At first, I didn't expect things to develop any more beyond that, which would have been perfectly acceptable. I was keen to stick with this anime because of the musical aspect, something which Your Lie in April really opened my eyes to. But recently extra elements have been added which make for some truly meaningful events, complemented by the musical themes inherent throughout the anime.
As is often the case with the slice of life genre, there is a danger of storylines growing stale and repetitive, but the scriptwriting in Sound! Euphonium is very well executed. The pacing has had some real thought put into it, mixing the character-driven scenes with Kumiko's narration, musical scores and the clever use of montages to keep your attention. This type of anime lends itself to an ambiguous tone, walking a fine line between drama and comedy that can change a scene at the drop of a hat. But I thought this was very fitting for a school setting, as in reality a day at school can easily be both.
As a result, there is a good transition of mood that accentuates the details of the story and gives them that extra believable element. In an episode-by-episode basis, the story seems quite unremarkable. A group girls join a club and realise their responsibilities, relationships and try their absolute hardest to be good enough to play at the upcoming festival. In reality, the objective is pretty small-fry and microcosmical, and we only see the real impact when we look at how the characters have developed since the first episode. It's this coming-of-age element that makes you realise just how well-put-together this series is.
The direction, animation and production in this one are very impressive and deft with perfectly executed settings and atmospheres. It's clear that a lot of research has gone into conveying ensemble music and the way people deal with playing musical instruments, such as learning how to hold it, how to breathe properly and how to stay in tune. At the same time, there's always a kind of lazy, romantic feel to scenes that you associate with girls at school in the spring.
As it persists in releasing feel-good, relaxing episodes, it's not going to be the most action-packed anime of the season – but on the whole everything about Sound! Euphonium is very pretty and nicely-handled. If you're a big slice of life fan and enjoyed shows like K-ON! and Your Lie in April, you won't want to miss this one.

Natural treatments are becoming more popular today as the drugs traditional doctors prescribe come with scarier and scarier side-effect warnings. What can you do to ensure that you and your family stay healthy? Reading about acupuncture is the first step to feeling better, so continue onto the rest of this article.
Choose a licensed professional for your acupuncture treatment. Do not hesitate to ask if you can see a licence or get some references. If you have doubts about your acupuncturist, it is best to cancel your appointments and choose another doctor who seems more professional. Do some research online to learn more about different doctors.
Before an acupuncture appointment, do not eat a heavy meal. You will be lying down on your stomach most of the time during your session. This may cause you stomach discomfort if your belly is full. Instead, eat a light, easily digestible meal, or just nibble on a few snacks.
Do your research! Before choosing an accurpuncturist, get as much information about him or her as you can. You want to make sure they have treated their past clients in a professional manner. You will also want to make sure they have the proper credentials before you make an appointment.
Avoid over-eating right before your acupuncture appointment. Although you should not go on an empty stomach, as this can lead to feeling dizzy, you can't be too full either. Call and ask for guidance with the receptionist if you're not sure, but don't take any chances by indulging in a big meal a few hours prior to going.
Keep an open mind. Regardless of what you thought about acupuncture in the past, remember that a large number of patients often report feeling better the day they receive their treatment. Go in to your appointment and maintain an optimistic outlook. You will feel better about everything that is going on if you do.
Approach acupuncture with an open mind and make sure you fully understand what the treatment will do to your body. You should not dismiss this treatment before giving it a chance. Schedule a series of appointments to get treated for your chronic pain and choose to keep using this method if you get good results.
Make a detailed list of all your prescribed medications before seeking an acupuncture treatment. Knowing what medications you're on will help them develop a treatment based on your needs.
Acupuncture is typically painless, but you aren't going to know that until you have some done. While most people experience little to no pain whatsoever, some people can be bothered by it. Everyone differs in their approach and opinion, so you need to see for yourself. Speak with the acupuncturist if you're feeling quite a bit of pain when you shouldn't be.
Now that you have read this article in full, you are primed and ready to battle any health condition. Thanks to acupuncture, you can do so with no harm to your body or mind. All it takes is a little determination, attending all of your sessions and a positive attitude to heal what ails you.
