PolyhydramniosSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Polyhydramnios is a condition in which there is too much fluid in the amniotic sac, the sac that holds the developing baby (fetus). This liquid is called amniotic fluid, and it surrounds the fetus throughout pregnancy.
Polyhydramnios can be caused by:
- Problems with the baby's nervous system or gastrointestinal tract.
- Genetic disorders or birth defects.
- Multiple pregnancy (twins or more). It occurs in up to 5 out of 100 twin pregnancies.footnote 1
- Diabetes.
Sometimes the cause of polyhydramnios may not be found.
Polyhydramnios increases the risk of:
- Premature breaking (rupture) of the amniotic sac.
- Premature labor.
- Stillbirth.
Severe polyhydramnios may be treated with medicine, such as indomethacin. Excess fluid is sometimes removed through a needle that is inserted through the mother's abdomen into the amniotic sac (amniocentesis).

Walcott, 23, has only six months remaining on his current £60,000-per-week contract and will be given permission to negotiate a transfer move to potential buyers. Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are keeping close tabs on the right winger.
Arsenal offered Walcott an improved contract worth £75,000-per-week but the winger is aiming to earn nearly £1,00,000 weekly. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admitted his frustration during Friday's press conference.
Walcott, who will miss the home clash against West Brom Albion due to injury, remains Arsenal's most effective offensive player despite playing majority of the season off the bench.
However, Arsenal, who are confident Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha will join the club, could cash-in on Walcott with several clubs willing to shell out nearly £10-15 million for the England star.
Meanwhile, right-back Bacary Sagna has expressed his sadness after the club offered only 12-month extension to his current deal. The France international, who earns nearly £60,000-a-week, felt 'disrespected' at the clubs offer.
Arsenal are currently at 10th position in the league standings with only 21 points, their worst start under Arsene Wenger in the Premier League era.

Boston, MA, United States, 2013/06/26 - SYSPRO ERP helps food company to grow/compete successfully, improve profits 39% - VannsSpices.com / SYSPRO.com.
SYSPRO, a provider of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, announced today that Vanns Spices president Mick Whitlock will be attesting to SYSPRO's exemplary customer service at the JRocket Marketing Grape Escape® 2013 analyst event in Boston this week. Whitlock is addressing 25 of the world's leading technology industry analysts citing examples of how the combination of SYSPRO ERP's product and service combination has helped the food industry company to compete successfully against much larger spice trading companies.
Vanns Spices has 800+ customers throughout the U.S. and Canada, including major restaurants and grocery chains throughout premium markets like New York, Washington D.C. and San Francisco. The company sells both direct and indirectly, and creates custom formulas for some of North America's most renowned TV chefs. Vanns purchased the SYPSRO ERP solution in 2009 and says the partnership with SYSPRO has helped the smaller company thrive in spite of daunting economics and mega-sized global competitors. Specifically, the company reports adding a major U.S. national grocery chain customer in 2012, and last year its revenue grew 15 percent and gross profits improved 39 percent. Vanns also achieved an excellent Safe Food quality (SQF) rating last year, supported by tracing capabilities of the SYSPRO ERP solution.
"Sourcing, ingredient source traceability, inventory controls these are all necessary to operate within the food industry, and likely many ERP solutions can provide these adequately, particularly for large-sized manufacturers," Whitlock explains. "The difference with SYSPRO ERP is that it can not only match and exceed many of the large ERP solutions, but it also offers two additional advantages: strong knowledge of the needs of small and mid-sized manufacturers and distributors like Vanns; and SYSPRO customer service is the best in the industry."
Whitlock says that SYSPRO's strong commitment and additional knowledge of food industry requirements, one of five top micro-vertical industry focuses for SYSPRO, helped Vanns Spices to:
Re-invent its business model;
Extend the company's geographic and channel reach;
Significantly increase revenue and profits; and
Optimize its manufacturing processes, end to end.
"We really became enlightened as to the shortcomings of our prior system when we moved to SYPSRO ERP," Whitlock said. "SYSPRO gave us a clear picture of how our company could perform, have been in it with us personally every step of the way, and since then there has been little to slow us down."
About Vanns Spices
Vanns Spices Ltd (vannsspices.com) was founded in Baltimore in 1981 to provide high quality seasoning blends and spices for the professional chef and cooking enthusiast. Guided by our commitment to great taste, health and sustainability, Vanns continues to scour the world in search of unusual spices, to develop new products, and to offer our customers the very best culinary experience.
Vanns is family-owned with a staff dedicated to offering a diverse range of great tasting products and providing the best possible service to our customers. The company has achieved SQF2000-Level 2 certification with a rating of "Excellent".

About SYSPRO
SYSPRO (syspro.com) is one of the longest standing and largest independent, international providers of ERP systems for mid-market manufacturers and distributors worldwide. SYSPRO has for more than 30 years delivered on its promise to provide thousands of its customers globally with the tools required to effectively operate and compete.

Respect. That is all Demarquis Bost wants. After helping his Carolina Raptors team win the 16 and under division of the Tournament of Champions and a strong showing at the Reebok Next Factors camp over the weekend, the 6-foot-2, combo guard from Concord (N.C.) is finally getting the respect he has been seeking.
Bost was named the TOC 16 and under Most Outstanding Player after averaging 20.8 in six games played and scored 21 points in the championship game. At the Next Factors camp, Bost was one of the top ten performers at the event, picking up where he left off at the TOC. The three-star guard said he and his teammates aren't finished either. There is still more respect to be gained, he said.
"We got a lot of respect after that but I still feel like we are sort of underrated," Bost said. "We want to win the AAU nationals and just play well at the showcases and stuff like that.
"I feel like I'm underrated because I haven't been to too many camps and I haven't really been seen yet," Bost said.
That is changing. People are starting to take notice. Bost is making people believe. He's quick with the ball, more athletic than given credit for and can light it up when needed from the perimeter. He's showing the potential of being a steady point guard, too.
Since the TOC, William & Mary, Appalachian State and Western Carolina have inquired, Bost said. Clemson, High Point (offer), Florida State and Georgia (he will camp at UGA next weekend) dotted his list after the spring period, Bost said. He said he can play at the highest level.
"I feel like I can play at the ACC level," Bost said.
Louisville, Syracuse and Villanova are three of his dream schools. Getting to that level is still a work in progress, Bost says. He is working on a position and improving his ability to take the ball to the hole and finishing around the basket.
"My freshmen year I was one-dimensional. Then my sophomore year I became more well rounded. This year, I loosened up a lot and just played. It's helped me a lot because I'm thinking more now when I'm on the court. If a man is coming at me, I just go by him with the dribble but if he laying off of me, I'm pulling up with my jumper.
"It doesn't matter to me where I play," Bost said. "I'll play at whatever position the coaches want to recruit me at. As long as we are winning, that is all that matters."
And he's been doing that at a large clip of late.

These parables introduce the importance of sinners for Jesus, and thus for disciples. The parable's drama is built on the tension of an attempt to find something that has been lost. Anyone who has lost anything or loses anything on a regular basis can identify with this tension. In our house it is keys and the remote control for the television that most often go AWOL. At such times an all-points bulletin sends my children on a hunt for what their absent-minded father has misplaced. When it is found, all are relieved. So in these parables with the sheep and the coin.
Jesus tells these parables to tax collectors and sinners. Thus the stories offer comfort, especially in the face of the Pharisees and scribes' grumbling that Jesus welcomes sinners and eats with them (compare 5:30, 37; 7:34, 39). The fact that tax collectors and sinners listen to Jesus while the leadership does not is a cultural reversal of expectation. Sometimes hearers are found in surprising places. The issue of listening to Jesus is a major one in Luke (5:1, 15; 6:17, 27, 47, 49; 7:29; 8:8-18, 21; 9:35; 10:16, 24, 39; 11:28, 31; L. T. Johnson 1991:235). To experience God's blessing, we need to listen to him.
Jesus begins with a pastoral scene that would have been familiar in Palestine. A shepherd had a hundred sheep—a count that would indicate he is modestly wealthy, since the average flock ranged from twenty to two hundred head (Jeremias 1972:133). Such flocks were an economic resource, since they provided wool and mutton. During the count as he gathers the sheep at day's end, the shepherd notices that one is missing. Jesus' original hearers probably assumed that the shepherd asks a neighbor to keep an eye on the ninety-nine so he can search for the missing sheep, though the story does not offer this detail. The sheep needs to be found; otherwise it may be permanently lost or attacked by hungry predators. It is risky to be a lost sheep.
The search proves fruitful: the shepherd finds the sheep and lifts it onto his shoulder to bring it home. (Compare Is 40:11; 49:22. Shepherd imagery in the Old Testament is rich—see Ps 23; Jer 31:10-14; especially Ezek 34:11-16; Mic 5:1-4; in the New Testament see Jn 10:11-12.) Given the possibility that the sheep could have been devoured, the shepherd rejoices at finding it.
The parable pictures God's desire to find sinners and bring them back into the fold. Thus the owner throws a party, asking his neighbors to celebrate with him since the lost sheep is found. In the same way, Jesus says, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. When a sinner turns to God, heaven throws a party. The prospect of such joy keeps Jesus associating with sinners.
The second parable parallels the first. Here a silver coin has been lost. It sounds as if the coin is a drachma, which equals a denarius—a day's wage for the average worker (Josephus Antiquities 3.8.2 195). As with many things that are dropped and lost, the search begins with the certainty that "it must be in here somewhere." The search is likely to be taking place in the evening, since the woman must light a lamp to look for the coin. She sweeps the house clean, looking carefully, until it turns up. We can almost hear her "there it is!" relief as the search ends successfully. Like the shepherd, this woman calls her friends together to celebrate the discovery of the lost coin. So there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. The reference to angels is a circumlocution for God's joy. The courts of heaven are full of praise when a sinner turns to God.
Is there any significant difference between the two parables? At their most basic level they make the same point. The second parable, however, stresses the search a little more than the first. Recovering a lost sinner can take diligent effort. But the effort is worth it when the lost is found. Sinners should know that God is diligently looking for them. Disciples should diligently engage in the search for sinners on behalf of the Master they serve. Jesus provides a clear example for us to follow. Finding lost "sheep" and missing "coins" is a disciple's priority. Jesus involved himself with sinners; so should disciples.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli airstrikes killed three Palestinians as they set up equipment to fire rockets at Israel.
The men killed last Friday night in Gaza City were identified as Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives residing in Gaza City, according to an Israel Defense Forces spokesman. They were part of a terrorist cell that has been firing rockets into Israel for the past few weeks, including firing on Sderot during Rosh Hashanah, the IDF said.
The IDF released a video of the strike on the terrorists, which shows them preparing the rocket launchers. It is Israel's first offensive attack on Gaza since the end of Operation Cast Lead last January.
In the hours following the attack, a Kassam rocket fired from Gaza landed in southern Israel. On Saturday night, a mortar shell launched from Gaza struck southern Israel, causing no injuries or damage, according to reports. The IDF responded by firing two mortar shells toward the site of the launch.

Michigan's freshman point guard notched six points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals in a 57-40 win over Wofford, playing outstanding defense throughout, but only one statistic mattered to Derrick Walton Jr. … his two turnovers.
"I had one too many," Walton Jr. said, and he wasn't joking.
The Wolverines turned the ball over 11 times, eight in the first half, and several were careless and unforced. Walton was referring to a first half alley-oop to Glenn Robinson III that even the high flyer couldn't corral.
"He's hard on himself," assistant coach LaVall Jordan said with a laugh. "It was actually the right play, it was just a bad delivery. He was open, Glenn - at least I hope it was, because nobody else could go up there and get that ball.
"But it was the right look, just a poor delivery. I've been challenging him in transition to look for that. It's something we got with Trey Burke a lot last year, got a couple this year in transition with Glenn. He's such a threat at the rim, he can jump over the top of people, so you've got to look for him."
Walton did - he just missed. The rest of the game he picked his spots, and good things usually happened when he penetrated.
"Sometimes you think, 'oh here's my chance to get it right - this is what coach had been talking about," Jordan said. "Then boom, he fired it.
"But I thought he was great, managed the game well offensively, attacked when he needed to based on what they were giving us. Defensively was where he was terrific."
Wofford only made one of 19 triples, but the looks weren't great. That was due in part to Walton's relentless chasing, running under screens and making it uncomfortable for Karl Cochran, in particular. The Terriers guard went only 1-for-10 from three-point range, 8-for-21 overall with Walton chasing him.
"He's really good coming off down screens, fade screens, and he had a really quick release," Walton said. "My main thing is to lock and chase, be there on the catch and contest the best I can, try to run him off the line."
Walton also made a big shot when Wofford made a run to cut it under 10, Jordan noted, and he never panicked on the big stage.
"It's a quality Trey had, Spike Albrecht has and Derrick has, and it's something we look for [in recruiting]," Jordan said. "You've got to have poise to be able to win at this level. There's so much coming at you, you've got things you need to be able to execute and an opponent that's trying to disrupt you. There's timing you need to get right, but you've got to have great poise when it doesn't go well, great poise when it doesn't go right to do it again."
His no fear approach is one reason why Michigan will have a chance to continue to advance.
"I kind of knew what I had to do coming in to this game," Walton said. "I tried to focus on that and tried to help the team get this win. A few turnovers changed the score, but I'm proud of my guys."

The National Charity League's Ticktockers – girls in grades 7-12 – recently completed a service project for the nonprofit Animal Assisted Happiness.
Animal Assisted Happiness operates a small farm that provides opportunities for children and adults with health or family challenges to interact with animals. The project – organized by Bridget Gottlieb, Juliette Heye and Joanne Reed – included creating a 3-foot-by-5-foot tile sign for the entrance to the property and painting 11 smaller signs for the individual animal pens.
The Ticktockers gathered in February to stencil the names and pictures of animals onto wooden signs and affix more than 5,000 small tiles on a rectangular board to complete a design that features the Animal Assisted Happiness logo, a purple heart. The group then made the finishing touches – applying grout to the tile sign and glossing and framing the painted signs.

How did left and right ideologies contribute to events in France during 1825-1848.
Left and right ideologies contributed to events in France in many important ways during this time, culminating in the brief existence of the Second Republic and the subsequent rise of Louis Napoleon.
For example, in 1835, Charles X granted the Catholic Church the power to run France's educational system. He also gave compensation to nobles whose lands had been taken during the French Revolution. Both of these actions enraged liberals and led to a great deal of unrest. The king promised reforms, but then went back on those reforms in the late 1820s, leading to even more unrest.
The elections of 1830 were won by liberals. When Charles X cancelled those results and called for new elections with a smaller electorate, rebellion ensued and he fled the country. This led to the installation of Louis-Philippe as king. His reign eventually led to still another liberal rebellion in 1848.
As this brief history shows, France in the time period you are asking about was torn by conflict between the right and the left, leading to multiple rebellions and changes of government.

TEL AVIV (Jan. 7)
Transport Minister Shimon Peres said today that the government would seek legal means to end a three-day slowdown by dock workers that has crippled Israel's seaports at the peak of the citrus export season. As of this morning 47 ships were laying idle at Haifa, Ashdod and Ellat. The picking of citrus fruits was suspended last Thursday as crates piled up on the docks. A continuation of the delay would cause Israel severe economic losses from spoilage and would require citrus exporters to pay stiff penalties for late delivery of the fruit on the European market.
The number of ships waiting to load and discharge cargoes is expected to reach 80 during the coming week but until today no contacts had been made between the dock workers and the Port. Authority or Histadrut. A meeting is scheduled for tonight to try and end the crisis.
Peres said the government would ask the courts to declare the slowdown to be a strike in which case legal penalties could be invoked against the dock workers for staging a strike without giving 15 days' prior notice as required by Israeli law. In that case the Port Authority could withhold the dock workers' wages as long as the slowdown continued.

Phoenix Jones named one of the 'Top 10 coolest superheroes'
In a promotion for the forthcoming film "Kick-Ass 2," BuzzFeed has rounded up a list of the coolest superheroes in the world. Unsurprisingly, Seattle's caped crusader, Phoenix Jones, is on the list. However, arch enemy and self-declared super-villain Rex Velvet is not happy with the list.
The list, which also includes Portland's Zetaman, celebrates real-life superheroes, who do things like thwart minor crimes and offer information to police officers. But these costumed individuals, who operate on their own and, often, outside of the law, aren't beloved by everyone. Jones has been arrested by the Seattle Police, and the agency has even received recommendations that they restrict superhero activity. Perhaps their biggest critics, however, are their nemesis, including Velvet.
In a Facebook post, Velvet asked that his followers take action:
ATTENTION CITIZENS: If you have any info regarding any of the following masked-nerds, consider this page your soapbox to voice your experiences/frustrations. Together we will crush the superzero movement and restore sanity within our communities.
Velvet, who calls himself "The People's Villain" isn't actually a bad guy; the mustachioed man has done a considerable amount of charity work, putting on events that benefit organizations like the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The same day the list was released, Jones tweeted a photo of himself and the rest of the Rain City Superheroes at a premiere for the film.
Following his 2011 arrest, Jones was revealed to be father and husband Ben Fodor. Since that time, he has largely continued to make appearances in full costume.


text: Birdman calls on the help of Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj for his new video "Y.U. Mad," also known as the reason why the Harajuku Barbie has been seen cross-dressing this fall. One of many, but still. But only one person can be Mr. Carter, and for the majority of the clip Minaj seems to be the only one concerned with keeping up the mythical legend of New Orleans' slightly unintelligible native son. While the Cash Money co-founder enjoys the company of beautiful women and eating stacks of Benjamins for dinner, Minaj splits her time between channeling her mentor through blonde braids and low slung pants, and keeping watch over YMCMB's many golden microphones. Because somebody has to. Whether an homage or a parody, her effort inspires the uncharacteristically quiet MC to reclaim his hold on our attention, as Weezy finally steps to the forefront for a verse after about two minutes of quietly bobbing along in the background, flaunting his newly adopted glasses and skateboard backpack. It may not be the Wayne we've grown up with, but it's a welcomed change. A hat like that was made to be seen. Watch below.

August, Repentance
I really must attend to this more often. Yesterday was a highlight of the month type of day. A friend of mine retired from the Air Force. We're not close buddies. Or even former so-workers but I was a person in the life of her husband, a mentor in some ways and a friend.
As he is a dear friend, she is too. And I am so happy for her successes in life. She is GOOD people!
One of the highlights was a tour of the Pentagon and treading the hollowed halls where a jet airliner was crashed into the building with 77 people on board. there is now a Chapel at the point of impact.
It IS a hollowed meaning holy and maybe even haunted place. There is a ghost of the events that occurred that warm summer's day in September.
Other things of note this month -- along with the deaths of many family members, I seem to be watching the slow death of one on-line company and the tipping point in the scrapbooking industry.
Interesting things about Big Picture Scrapbooking, and a couple of "scrap" celebrities, Heidi Swapp and Stacy Julian. Sad to see this, but all the signs were there BEFORE the implosion. In a split second the house of cards starts to fall.
I had a singular incident near the tail end of my career. Where the difference is I DID "fess-up" and was willing to take on my portion of the blame. (Which thank G-d, was very minor.) I had those I feared that would repudiate me, in my corner, beside me. Only a singular accuser that had a larger instigating role, and she fell far.
At the time I took it HARD. I have to this day, people that admired how long I did stand, and how I took the stand I did, in spite of pressure to "fudge" the rules at every turn.
Integrity is a term not used often any more, manly I think because NO ONE has learned or remembered what it is and how important it is. Till "something" happens.
I personally felt that I failed and sold my integrity for a long time afterwards. One of my supporters told me that was because I was the very essence of it, and had more than most people.
Since I did tumble, I am more "forgiving" that we are human and have shortcomings and failures. That would be a good topic for "REAL LIFE" scrapping - personal failings and shortcomings. You're "public"page could be "light-hearted" but the hidden journaling, ah! The real meat about "self-knowledge" and personal insight.
Is there an area you consistently fail to meet YOUR own expectations? Scrap it.
Oh my! I'm starting to sound like some sort of Life Coach!!! Well maybe today I am.

Trucking Accident Involving Tracy Morgan Highlights Regulation Debate
The news that comedian Tracy Morgan had been critically injured in an accident involving a Walmart truck quickly spread throughout the media this week. That accident, which took the life of comedian James McNair and two others, is being used by safety regulators to bolster their argument against a proposed trucking bill.
About the Proposed Regulation Change
The proposed change to current trucking regulations would make it so truckers can drive a maximum of 82 hours each week. Currently, truckers may only drive 60 or 70 hours per week depending on their employers' schedule. The proposal, which was added to a transportation spending bill last week by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), would rollback a trucking provision created just last summer.
Last summer, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations were written so that truckers could only start a work week after 34 hours off duty once every other week. The provision also required drivers to include in that time off two rest periods between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.
The change proposed by Collins, and backed by the trucking industry, would remove the nighttime rest period provisions and allow truckers to use the 34 hour restart every week.
Truck Safety Debate
The truck driver responsible for the crash involving Morgan was reported as not having slept for more than 24 hours when the accident happened. Research has shown that sleep deprived drivers can be compared to those under the influence of alcohol. Adding in the often fatal nature of accidents involving large trucks, safety advocates say it is important for regulations that force drivers to rest.
The trucking industry, however, claims that current regulations increase the number of large trucks on the roads during morning commutes. Those officials claim it is "safer for truckers to drive at night when there is less traffic."

I am looking to take the plunge into adding a gas grill to my tool kit (I have a weber kettle and a smoker/grill) and have a few questions/considerations. I am leaning towards the Weber Genesis based on comments/searches here. However, I am not sure about:
1) NG vs propane. The NG line already goes to the old rusted gas grill bolted to my deck. I could replace it fairly easily with a NG model. While I realize the apertures for NG are larger to allow for a heavier flow of NG to make up for the variance in BTUs, is NG as good as propane for max temps and temp regulation?
2) Side burner or not? I would like to cook everything outside but not sure if it's worth the extra money and space.
3) Stainless vs non. Living in Alabama, I am worrried about high humidity and rust. However, the cost of the SS version is signficantly higher.
4) Anyone use a rotisserie attachment? Is it worth the extra cash?
This is a decently sizable investment for a gas grill so I welcome all input in advance.

Marcus Smart is a fiery competitor on the basketball court, but he also knows how to have a good time.
The latter was on display over the weekend, when the Boston Celtics draft pick — on behalf of ESPN's "SportsNation" — competed in his own scavenger hunt at the annual NBA rookie photo shoot.
Some of the tasks were rather standard (give a dumb hat to a rookie, arm wrestle Mitch McGary, etc.), but others actually were pretty funny. We're partial to "forge a Muggsy Bogues signature and give it to Noah Vonleh" and "eat snacks with Shabazz Napier."
(Also, the video shows top pick Andrew Wiggins in a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey for what might be the final time.)
James Young, the Celtics' other first-round pick in 2014 NBA draft, also was in attendance. The Kentucky product teamed up with Smart on a few alley-oops and showed off some of his dance moves for the cameras.

Stem cells make older cows young again
Jul 25, 2005
Scientists may have found a literal "fountain of youth" which could result in older, proven cows regaining their younger production levels. Researchers at Advance Cell Technology, Worcester, MA, recently concluded a study in which 10- to 13-year-old cows were injected with cloned stem cells harvested from the livers of embryonic calves. The results of the study, published in the June 2005 issue of Cloning and Stem Cells, showed the treated animals reverte...

- Miscellany
- Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 at 1:23:56pm UTC
- Summary of my claim against Google in the UK Small Claims Court:
- On Wednesday 29th March 2012, I filed a claim against Google UK Ltd. using the UK Government's Online Claim Service ( http://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk ) with Claim Number 2QT24889
- The purpose of my claim is in light of Google's planned Privacy Policy changes which are announced to go live on March 1st 2012. It is my belief that the changes will be both prejudicial and material changes as defined in Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. The changes, which will see Google merging data from multiple platforms and services (including Android Devices) in order to further monetise that data on their advertising platforms, are a significant infringement of my right to privacy and I do not consent to Google being able to use my data in such a way.
- In order for me to purchase a new phone to replace the Google Android device I currently use with a non-Android device, the costs would be significant (around £400), as this cost is caused by Google's Privacy Policy changes I have sought remedy through the courts for Google to meet these costs. I chose not to file against Carphone Warehouse (the retailer) because they have no control over Google's use of data which is obtained from Android devices and the same is true with regards to my carrier, they have no control over Google's data policies and the device was purchased independently of my carrier.
- The second reason for my filing of this case is to hopefully open an avenue for other consumers to take similar action, should my claim be successful. Consumer rights are fundamental in protecting citizens from unfair trading practices and unfair contracts, these rights are based on strong European Directives and offer strong protections against such activities.
- I am confident that the case has legal merit and I fully expect Google to submit a defense.

A compact temperature sensor based on a fiber loop mirror (FLM) combined with an alcohol-filled high- birefringence photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The output of the FLM is an interference spectrum with many resonant dips, of which the wavelengths are quite sensitive to the change of the refractive index of the filled alcohol for the interference of the FLM. Simulation analysis predicts a high temperature sensitivity, and experimental results show it reaches up to for the -long PCF used in the FLM.

Missing Visual Studio extensions after installation
- PDF for offline use
Let us know how you feel about this
Translation Quality
last updated: 2017-03
Error Message
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio
Double-check Visual Studio compatibility
Ensure a compatible version of Visual Studio is installed:
- Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 (or later)
- Visual Studio Community 2013 Update 2 (or later)
- Visual Studio 2015
- Visual Studio Community 2015
Visual Studio Express editions are not compatible with Xamarin because they do not allow installation of 3rd party extensions.
See also: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/getting_started/requirements/#windows
Possible Fix 1: Change the installation to make sure the Visual Studio extensions are installed
In certain situations, the Xamarin installer might automatically un-check the install options for the Visual Studio extensions. If that's the cause of the problem, install the missing Visual Studio extensions using the installer's Change command. For example, to install the extensions for Visual Studio 2013:
Open the Windows Programs and Features Control Panel.
Right click the Xamarin entry, and select Change.
Click Next, then Change.
Make sure the Xamarin for Visual Studio 2013 option is set to install:
Proceed through the rest of the installer wizard.
Possible Fix 2: Ask Visual Studio to set up the extensions again
Check if the Xamarin extensions have been copied into the Visual Studio extensions folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Xamarin\Xamarin\126.96.36.199
If the extensions are properly installed (for version 3.1.228), there will be 60 items in the folder:
After you have confirmed that this folder looks correct, tell Visual Studio to try setting up the extensions again:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
Possible Fix 3: Try a fresh reinstall of Xamarin
From the Windows Control Panel, uninstall any of the following that are present:
Xamarin for Windows
Xamarin for Visual Studio
In Explorer, delete any remaining files from the Xamarin Visual Studio extension folders (all versions, including both
Program Filesand
Program Files (x86)):
C:\Program Files*\Microsoft Visual Studio 1*.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Xamarin
Also check in the "VirtualStore" directory to see if there might be any "overlay" copies of any of the extension directories:
Open the registry editor (regedit).
Look for this key:
Find and delete any entries that match this pattern:
C:\Program Files*\Microsoft Visual Studio 1*.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Xamarin
Look for this key:
Delete any entries that look like they might be related to Xamarin. For example, here's one that used to cause trouble in older versions of Xamarin:
Reinstall the current stable version of Xamarin using the individual installer (
.msi) download link under Xamarin.iOS > Windows or Xamarin.Android > Windows on http://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads.
Possible Fix 4: Repair Visual Studio installation
Open the Windows Programs and Features Control Panel.
Right click the relevant Microsoft Visual Studio entry, and select Change
Click the Repair button in the Visual Studio dialog that opens.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush on Wednesday endorsed Mitt Romney to be the Republican nominee for president and called on Republicans to unite behind the front-runner.
"Primary elections have been held in 34 states and now is the time for Republican to unite behind Governor Romney and take our message of fiscal conservatism and job creation to all voters this fall," Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush, said in a statement released by his education foundation.
Bush's endorsement came after Romney scored an easy win in Illinois on Tuesday over his closest rival, Rick Santorum, moving him one step closer to clinching the party's volatile nomination battle for the right to face Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 6 election.
"I am endorsing Mitt Romney for our party's nomination," Bush said. "We face huge challenges and we need a leader who understands the economy, recognizes more government regulation is not the answer, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism and works to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed.

Winding his 13.1-mile way from Balboa Park to SeaWorld on Sunday morning for the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Half Marathon, Meb Keflezighi carried much on his mind.
Friends and old San Diego High teachers yelled his name along the course. Said the 2004 Olympic marathon silver medalist who trains out of Mammoth Lakes, "This is my home."
He's 37, in the twilight of his career and the London Games are barely 10 weeks away.
"A lot of people were yelling, 'Olympics, Olympics, Olympics,'" said Keflezighi.
But a homecoming and the Olympics weren't what most concerned the 5-foot-5, 125-pound whippet. Come Wednesday, Keflezighi will step outside his athletic comfort zone and throw out the first pitch before the Padres-Giants game.
"I'm more nervous about that than anything," Keflezighi said. "I was thinking about it during the run. I can't bounce the ball."
How Keflezighi's arm fares remains to be seen. His sinewy legs, though, are fine. Keflezighi ran away in the race, defending his title in 1 hour, 3 minutes, 11 seconds. Ryan Hall, who has been battling a left foot injury for seven months, finished second in 1:05:39.
New Zealand's Kim Smith dominated the women's half, winning by nearly seven minutes, in 1:08:37.
In the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, two first-timers headed home with the $25,000 paychecks. Kenyan Nixon Machichim won the men's race by 11 seconds, in 2:10:03. Russia's Alevtina Ivanova held off Ethiopia's Meseret Legessse to win the women's marathon in 2:27:44.
On a distance runner's idyllic morning – overcast, temperature in the low 60s, little breeze – 24,860 runners, walkers and wheelchair riders toured San Diego.
Owing to the rock 'n' roll them, about 50 dressed as Elvis Presley. Women (and men) wore tutus. Befitting the race's commitment to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, runners wore inspirational messages.
"Running for Randy," read one T-shirt.
While the half marathon doesn't pay prize money, the men's race was the most anticipated because of the Keflezighi-Hall matchup. (Both runners received five-figure appearance fees and will represent the U.S. in the marathon at London.)
They began on opposite sides of the starting line Sunday, Meb on the left, Hall on the right. Six hundred yards after the gun, the friends were side-by-side and Keflezighi said, "We meet again."
Replied the 29-year-old Hall, "Man, I'm trying to warm this old body up."
The line wasn't meant as a playful dig at Keflezighi's relatively advanced age. Hall was been bothered by plantar fasciitis on his left foot, the connective tissue that runs from the heel to the toes.
"I haven't missed workouts, but it's something I feel every day, every step I take," said Hall, who has been dealing with the injury since November. "My stride feels like it's glued to the ground. I feel like a horse galloping."
By Mile 1, something was obviously amiss with Hall's giddy-up. Keflezighi's lead was 12 seconds and Hall couldn't respond.
Hall averaged 4 minutes, 36 seconds per mile when he set the American record in the half marathon in 2007 (59:43). His pace Sunday: 5:01.
Despite being bothered by the injury since November, Hall qualified for the Olympic marathon in January. He said the injury feels considerably better now.
"Is it something that mentally bothers me? Heck yeah," Hall said. "But I'll work my way through it."
Smith, the women's half marathon winner and a marathon medalist threat at London, was hoping to go head-to-head with American Shalane Flanagan. To the annoyance of organizers, Flanagan pulled out days before the race.
"Her coach wouldn't let her run, and that's a little disappointing," Smith said. "I guess he didn't want her racing hard, and I think he knows I tend to race hard."
In the women's marathon, Ivanova planned to run a marathon in Ottawa last weekend, but had problems securing a Canadian visa. Already owning a U.S. visa, she headed to San Diego and pulled away late to beat Legesse by 17 seconds.
Now Ivanova faces a quick turnaround. Next Sunday she'll compete in Russia's 10,000-meter Olympic trials."I can recover," Ivanova said through an interpreter. "I've done it before."
In the men's marathon, what had been a clump of seven runners through Mile 18 dwindled to Machichim and Gebrehiwot by Mile 23. Gebrehiwot, an Ethiopian, hugged the Kenyan's shoulder.
Ethiopians are famous for allowing Kenyans to set the pace, then using superior speed to run down their rivals late. Machichim would have none of it, winning by 11 seconds.
He was inspired, in part, by the bands lining the course.
"The music was very motivating," he said. "Very sweet."
A past Kenyan winner said he had been tempted to dance for one of the bands. Machichim fought no such urge.
"No, no, no," he said, pointing to his watch. "Time, time, time."

Barley-twist floor lamps flank the sofa.\nShushan employed a neutral palette and varying textures to give the living room "the illusion of space."\n"Easy maintenance, privacy, views—that's how I live," designer Marjorie Shushan says of her renovated four-room apartment in New Orleans. "I'm a New Yorker in spirit. I wanted my retreat to reflect a New York way of living."\n"Opening up a wall in the living room made it come alive," says Shushan. "Without light, I couldn't live in this or any other apartment." The French doors are framed with plaid silk taffeta draperies, with sheer drapery fabric from Lee Jofa. A 19th-century Japanese bronze is at left.\n\nTo brighten the dining area, Shushan broke through a wall and installed French doors. Regency chairs surround the table, which is illuminated by a lantern made from an old cloche. The French cabinet "was bleached to give it a newer look—unlike typical New Orleans furniture," says the designer.\nThe master bedroom "was very bland, with out-of-proportion windows," says Shushan.\nShe chose window treatments that create a sense of balance and height. "The 18th-century serving table is my favorite piece," says the designer, who placed it near two gilt chairs and an English pedestal table.\nJeffery Amann landscaped the terrace garden, which is planted with wisteria, azaleas and hibiscus. The Shushan-designed banquette is set against a boxwood hedge. "My rooftop garden is like another living room," she says. "I love to sit under the pergola in the late afternoon and read."

Dome - A New Member of the Johns Hopkins Family
Dome January/February 2014
A New Member of the Johns Hopkins Family
Date: January 1, 2014
Steven Snelgrove
Steven Snelgrove, who most recently served as president of Wake Forest Baptist Health's Lexington Medical Center in Lexington, N.C., will take the helm of Howard County General Hospital on Jan. 16. The new president succeeds Victor Broccolino, the hospital's president and CEO since 1990.
In a message to staff, Johns Hopkins Medicine Dean/CEO Paul Rothman and Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System President Ronald R. Peterson praised Snelgrove's "breadth of experience with both community hospitals and academic medical centers."
Snelgrove, 56, joined the Wake Forest University Baptist Health System in 1989 as director of facility planning and construction. In 1993, he became the hospital vice president of operations and has served as acting chief operating officer and vice president of human resources at the main academic campus. In 2011, he was named chief operating officer of two community hospitals in the system, the 94-bed Lexington Medical Center and the 81-bed Davie Medical Center, becoming their president in 2012.
Snelgrove says his first priority at Howard County General will be to "meet board members, physicians and employees to learn the vision and culture" of the 253-bed, 1,700-employee hospital, which was founded in 1973 and became affiliated with Johns Hopkins in 1998. "We want to make sure we embrace the community; provide high-quality, safe and compassionate patient care; have a strong balance sheet; and that we position ourselves for success in the evolving health care environment," he says.
He says he welcomes the challenges of leadership during a period of profound health care changes "as we transition from a volume-based delivery system to one that is value-based."
Snelgrove grew up in South Windsor, Conn., earning his undergraduate degree in health systems management from the University of Connecticut and an M.B.A. from the University of Hartford. Prior to joining the North Carolina health system, he worked in management for Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, a 714-bed teaching hospital in Hartford, Conn, and at Baystate Medical Center, a 1,100-bed teaching hospital in Springfield, Mass.
The new president and his wife, Joyce, a realtor, will move to Howard County with their son, Scott, a college freshman at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Each being has a feminine side, comforting, motherly . . .
"I am death, which overcomes all,
and the source of all beings still to be born.
I am the feminine qualities:
perfect speech,
and forgiveness."
-Bhagavad Gita 10:34
--To be known and respected in a positive way.
--To relish in the physical vanity of beauty, as she sits at the large mirror, brushing her hair 100 strokes, perfumed potions and powders aside.
--To utter the sounds, arranged phonetically, with a regional and cultural dialect, so that an idea, an ethereal butterfly, may sway into an understanding by another mind.
--To recall from the past of an entire lifetime, the lessons learned, the smiles dawning, drawn from the direct cortical stimulation of pleasant pathways.
--To know all that is knowable, searching delicately, for solutions to problems.
To create something, from what was previously nothing.
--To respect, and be respected, to value others and their opinions, and be a valuable person for the Earth. To be willing to be subjected to unpleasantness, so that other's comfort zone
Is maintained, protected, secure
In the social function known as life.
--To hear within one's heart, the ticking rhythm of empathy and compassion, and to align one's own universe with only good vibrations, flicking off, into non-existence, those vibrations which cause pain, jealousy, or sorrow.
This is A part of the feminine side.

Updated from 11:28 a.m ET with Schapiro statement and to clarify GE use of Federal Reserve financing NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Former Securities and Exchange Commission head Mary Schapiro will test theories on a revolving door between Washington and Wall Street, now that she's taken roles at General Electric ( GE) and financial sector consultant Promontory Financial, just as the SEC takes up a watered down version reforms she proposed for the opaque $2.7 trillion money market industry. During her three years as chair of the SEC, Schapiro drove a series of financial industry regulations and helped restore some belief the regulator would police illegal activity on Wall Street, even if few top executives have faced prosecution. But Schapiro's unfulfilled proposal to reform the money market industry stood out as one of the big disappointments of her tenure. Schapiro has already indicated she would like to see the SEC adopt the more expansive reform to the industry. Meanwhile, as the SEC conducts a 90-day comment period on its new money market industry regulations, Schapiro's potential comments on behalf of GE, Promontory or herself would stand out as influential in a policy debate. Financial sector interests were able to use comment periods on industry reforms such as the 2010 Dodd Frank Act to propose amendments and stall subsequent rulemaking processes. Only about a third of Dodd Frank Act rules were finalized at the end of 2012, according to a January report by law firm Davis, Polk & Wardwell. On Wednesday, the SEC made two alternative proposals for money market reform, and invited public comment for a period of 90 days. The first proposal is that prime institutional money market funds move from reporting a fixed net asset value (NAV) of $1 a share to investors and towards a floating NAV that would more accurately reflect the profits and losses a fund might have on its holdings. The alternative proposal "would allow the use of liquidity fees and redemption gates in times of stress," in order to help money fund managers maintain stable $1 NAVs, according to the SEC's press releases. While such rules are crucial to restructuring the money market industry to take into account shortcomings that were exposed during the financial crisis of 2008, prime institutional funds represent only about 35% of money market funds and not many of the products ordinary Americans use. Citigroup characterized the SEC's proposals as a "good cop scenario" for money market industry players focusing on retail customers such as Federated Investors ( FII). Analyst William Katz also indicated the phase in period of the SEC's reforms could last several years, following the comment period. Money market funds buy short-term debt such as commercial paper from highly rated companies like General Electric, in an effort to return a yield slightly above bank savings account rates. The market, however, seized up with the failure of investment bank Lehman Brothers in September of 2008. After Lehman collapsed, a major money market fund, the Primary Reserve Fund, wrote down the value of its Lehman holdings to zero, causing its assets fall to less than $1.00 a share in value, meaning it had "broken the buck." Because the fund had reported only a fixed asset value, the sub $1 a share value surprised investors, eroded confidence and precipitating unprecedented withdrawal from money funds. The investor flight put major players in short-term debt markets, including banks and asset managers such as Fidelity, Vanguard and Charles Schwab ( SCHW), in retreat. Issuers relying on money market funds to buy their short-term paper, such as GE, CIT Group ( CIT) and even corporations as ordinary as McDonald's ( MCD) fell into a severe cash crunch. To stem the seizure of the market, Henry Paulson -- Treasury Secretary at the time -- guaranteed the entire $3 trillion money market system, risking taxpayer funds to reverse the historic flight of capital. In response to the market freeze, GE got a life-saving $3 billion investment from Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A), and its financing arm GE Capital received far more support by way of a government backstop to debt it sold to the public during the credit crunch. GE Capital also was a significant user of the Federal Reserve's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. As SEC chair from 2009 through December 2012, Schapiro was the most prominent supporter of reforms to the U.S. money market industry. Given the Treasury guarantee, the FDIC's involvement and even the Federal Reserve's intervention in the market, Schapiro lobbied to strengthen investor confidence in money markets and make them better prepared for a cash crunch.
