Dennis demonstrates how to base entries on formulas or on values in other columns, including weekdays only.
- [Speaker] Sometimes when you use data validation…you realize there's no obvious choice…among the options offered.…In this worksheet called formulas, were about to…put in shipping dates here for these entries in column B.…We want to make sure these are not Sundays.…Well how would we know that?…If you go to data validation, there is a choice…called date, but no obvious way here from these options…to figure out day of the week.…Now, in cell D2, I'm using a function called weekday.…
This is a function that allows us…to calculate day of the week.…The result we get from this is the number one through seven,…one is Sunday, two is Monday, et cetera.…So as it turns out this shipping date is unacceptable,…we don't do shipping on Sundays.…We want to prevent Sundays from being entered here.…And at the same time, we want to make sure that…the shipping date is later than the order date…or possibly equal to it.…So we need two things to happen.…Now what I'm going to do is prepare the formula…outside of data validation so we can see it better.…
Dennis begins with the basics—how to display data so that errors can be easily spotted. Next, he offers handy tips to ensure data is entered correctly the first time, using the AutoFill feature and using AutoCorrect shortcut codes for frequently used entries. Dennis provides easy ways to validate your data, which is particularly helpful when multiple team members are contributing to the same spreadsheet. This includes restricting the data that can appear in a spreadsheet by setting value limits, pre-populating data with drop-down lists, and other methods. He also shows how to avoid mistakes in formulas, how to hide data that doesn't need to be seen, and how to use workbook protection to prevent errors, and more.

I spent the last few weeks working on a server application that uses named pipes. It worked well on the development and test systems, but when deploying to the staging environment, the named pipe server seemed to stop working. It did not quit out on me, though. The code was under the impression of having opened the named pipe server, but no clients were able to connect to the server. When checking with process explorer, the named pipes were not shown in the process' handles.

During my search I came across the following page, that pretty much describes the problem I was having: http://www.ms-windows.info/Help/named-pipes-not-working-logged-standard-29523.aspx. On it, several solutions are given, but most of them use the Windows API and not .NET. After trying a few things and looking at the named pipes examples of the All-in-one Code Framework on Codeplex, I finally managed to get things working. The important part is the PipeSecurity object passed into the NamedPipeServerStream constructor. I got the access rules from the All-in-one Code Framework, but the magic line is the SetSecurityDescriptorSddlForm code. It is also necessary to have this line BEFORE setting the access rights, as otherwise I got no change in the behavior.

PipeSecurity pipeSecurity = new PipeSecurity(); // Set to low integrity level pipeSecurity.SetSecurityDescriptorSddlForm("S:(ML;;NW;;;LW)"); // Allow Everyone read and write access to the pipe. pipeSecurity.SetAccessRule(new PipeAccessRule("Authenticated Users", PipeAccessRights.ReadWrite, AccessControlType.Allow)); // Allow the Administrators group full access to the pipe. pipeSecurity.SetAccessRule(new PipeAccessRule("Administrators", PipeAccessRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow)); using (this.namedPipe = new NamedPipeServerStream(pipeName, PipeDirection.InOut, this.numThreads, PipeTransmissionMode.Message, PipeOptions.Asynchronous, 1024, 1024, pipeSecurity)) { //... }

I guess anyone would have come up with the "S:(ML;;NW;;;LW)" string to pass into the method. It seems straightfoward enough :-)

Well, anyways, if you encounter a similar problem, I hope this saves you some time. And for all of you who want the explanation of that string, just head on over to the msdn documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379570(v=VS.85).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374928(v=VS.85).aspx. The S: tells us, that we're dealing with an SACL, ML stands for SDDL_MANDATORY_LABEL, no flags are given, NW means SDDL_NO_WRITE_UP, we then skip two object guids, and last but not least the LW is the account sid for SDDL_ML_LOW, which means "low level integrity". I think, to really get to the bottom of this, I need to learn a heck of a lot more about the windows security mechanisms. But for now, I'm just glad it works at all :-)

When creating a new Silverlight business application using RIA services, it will automatically be configured to use Forms authentication. If you are developing an intranet application with single sign-on, you can easily switch the web.config to use Windows auth instead of forms. In my case, authentication still timed out, because the server still tried to access a database. You also have to disable the RoleManager and Profile services in the web.config to get Windows authentication running. This is a nice way to create out-of-browser intranet applications and still have single sign-on.

Today, I had a Windows Server 2003 system, on which I freshly installed .NET 4.0 and wanted to deploy an ASP.NET 4.0 application in it. Sounds simple enough, but everytime I tried to access the application, I got a 404 error. In my case, I had an MVC2 application, for which I also enabled the wildcard mapping (I know, it's not required with 4.0, but I did it anyways, just in case). When it was enabled, I got 404s for every request. When I took it out, at least a simple text file was delivered instead of a 404 error.

Well, the solution was very simple, but it took a while to find. The ASP.NET 4.0 web service extension was disabled. So, if you keep getting 404s for your ASP.NET application, check in the Webservice Extensions folder in the IIS Manager if the ASP.NET 4.0 extension is enabled.

Today, one of my customers noticed, that the contact form on his site was not working anymore. Since nothing had changed for quite a while, I went to look, and it was actually so. A short check with the error returned from the SMTP mail library (PEAR_Mail) told me, the error was

550 Die verwendete Absenderadresse gehoert nicht zu Ihrem authentifizierten STRATO Paket.

For those of you who don't understand german, it translates roughly to "The used sender's address does not belong to your authenticated STRATO account." So I thought, no sh*t, it never has been, because I send the mails using the email address the user enters, so my customer can simply click "reply" in his mail program. This had never been a problem before, so why was it now. What complicated the matter even more, was that there is another form on the page, that also uses data entered by the user as the sender's address, and it worked perfectly well.

To keep things short: After tracing the tcp communication, I could not find any relevant difference. So, I tested sending a mail with a simple "This is a test" message. What can I say: It worked! Björn's an my guess is, that the STRATO mail server uses a spam filter and did not accept my mail due to its content. I removed some superfluous server data always submitted when sending a contact mail, and now things are working again. That error message, though, is really misleading, and I hope they change it to something more meaningful.

So, if anyone else has this problem, try checking your mails content. It might be "spammy" :-)

Today, I was dumbfounded by LINQ's optimization skills. I built a query over a list of items, which have an assigned category and a display order. I wanted to fetch a list of the distinct categories, to display them as an overview, and have them sorted according to the order of the entries themselves. My LINQ query looked something like this:

var categories = context.Entries .OrderBy(e => e.DisplayOrder) .Select(e => e.Category) .Distinct();

Everything seemed to work, but when I started ordering things around, the categories would remain as they were. What I also noticed, was that they were ordered alphabetically, which perplexed me. I decided to look at the generated query, and lo and behold, there was not a single ORDER BY clause in it. I took the generated query, added my own order by clause to it, and got an error:

ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified.

Of course: Distinct probably just sorts the values to make filtering out duplicates easier. I left out the Distinct() method, and my ordering was the way I wanted to have it.

I have not yet worked on a sql-based solution for this, since my structure holding the categories handled duplicate filtering by itself. And my data barely has any duplicates in it anyways, so I left it at that.

But what amazed me, was that LINQ actually left out the order by on its own accord, since it would have caused an error. The LINQ to SQL parser really knows, what it's doing, although in my case, I would have liked to get some sort of warning, that the query will not behave as expected. Nonetheless, I love LINQ :-)

I just launched a new project at codeplex aiming at the integration of jQuery UI in DotNetNuke: http://jquidnn.codeplex.com/. The first releases are already available in form of DNN module packages containing the core functionality, including infrastructural code to include jQuery and jQuery UI, two web controls for the Tabs and Datepicker widgets, and the smoothness theme.

Also available are module packages for three more themes: Cupertino, UI Darkness and UI Lightness. Further skins are actually quite easy to package and will follow over time, or when someone issues a request for one ;-)

So please, start grabbing the releases and giving me feedback.

I just wasted another hour, trying to figure out, what exactly ASP.NET was trying to tell me, when giving me an "ASPNET: Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl)." message on compiling my ascx file.

Ok, so I used a custom namespace, but I've done that hundreds of times, so that shouldn't be the problem. I also had a custom base class inheriting from UserControl. Also, nothing I haven't done before. So what was the issue now?!

I basically retyped everything concerning the namespace and class names in all files, but nothing helped. So I reverted to commenting out my code. This helped me find the issue: I used a

<% if (somethingOrOther) { %> Some code here <% } %>

construct in my ascx-file (Please don't start an argument on whether this is good practice or not. I know it's not the cleanest way to do things, but that is not the concern here :-) ), and actually forgot to put in the closing <% } %>. Ok, my fault, but shouldn't you get a better Compiler message than "ASPNET: Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl)."?!

So, if you encouter this error (and believe me, I've had it more than once due to typos), and are 100% positive you've spelled everything correctly, check for unbalanced parentheses!

Yesterday, I had one of those WTF moments. I had a page with a form for entering two addresses. Both had the same fields, including a RadioButtonList with identical items. Since the items are resourced, I decided to optimize the performance by reusing the ListItems like so:

ListItem[] items = new ListItem[2]; items[0] = new ListItem(this.GetString("salutation.Mister"), "Mr"); items[1] = new ListItem(this.GetString("salutation.Misses"), "Mrs"); this.salutation.Items.AddRange(items); this.salutation2.Items.AddRange(items);

Simple eh. Everything seems to be ok. And was I amazed, when I tested it, and I always got the SelectedItem to be the one selected in salutation2. I double-checked every location were I was storing the values, in case I forgot to change the field name after copy/pasting. But everything was correct, as far as I could tell. I even checked the values submitted by the browser, they were also correct.

Finally, it hit me: The ListItem has a Selected property, and it is used to find the RadioButtonLists SelectedItem property. And since I reused the items, the first list parses its items on postback, sets the appropriate ListItem's Selected property to true. Same thing happens with the second RadioButtonList. And since the ListItems are used in both lists, the last one wins.

So, I changed my code to look like this:

ListItem[] items = new ListItem[2]; items[0] = new ListItem(this.GetString("salutation.Mister"), "Mr"); items[1] = new ListItem(this.GetString("salutation.Misses"), "Mrs"); this.salutation.Items.AddRange(items); items = new ListItem[2]; items[0] = new ListItem(this.GetString("salutation.Mister"), "Mr"); items[1] = new ListItem(this.GetString("salutation.Misses"), "Mrs"); this.salutation2.Items.AddRange(items);

Now everything works as it should. So next time, be careful when reusing your ListItems!

Last night, I went to visit Monty Python's Spamalot musical in Cologne. I had no idea, what to expect from it, and I was quite sceptical concerning the german translation. I was very surprised by the job, the whole team has done. It was very funny, in typical Monty Python style, many unexpected gags, and very ludicrous. I actually believe, they got some gags in german, that weren't in the english version. At least, I wouldn't know, how to translate it, to make it funny :-) I'm very interested in the english version, though. Humor is definitely best in the original language. Nonetheless, the musical is definitely worth seeing.

Yesterday, I wasted a few hours trying to upgrade my SQL Server 2005 installation to 2008. Actually, upgrading is a simple process. You can simply select, which instance to upgrade, and the installer does the rest. It worked absolutely fine for my regular instance. I got some installation errors for a component, but didn't mind that at first. Everything seemed to be working.

At least I thought so, until I noticed, WHAT component got the errors. The SQL Server Management Studio was not installed. And the older 2005 version isn't able to connect to 2008. Bummer.

So I thought, let's try to reinstall it. Same error: "The error code is 2349." When you copy the details to the clipboard, you at least find the URL http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&ProdVer=10.0.1600.22&EvtType=0xF45F6601%25401201%25401, that gives you the information, that the SQL Server Native Client is causing the trouble.

So I tried upgrading my SQL Server Express instance, but that was also dismissed with an error. Next, I uninstalled my SQL Server 2005 express instance, uninstalled the native client, and now added the Management Studio feature to my SQL Server 2008 instance. Same error, this is really getting frustrating.

So now, my last resort is to uninstall the whole d*rn thing and try to reinstall it. At least the installation only takes about 2 hours *cough*.

UPDATE: Even the complete uninstall did not help. As the error message states, the Native Client is supposedly not installed from the sqlncli.msi package. Well, I even uninstalled and reinstalled ONLY THAT package, to no avail. I'm still getting the same bogus error, when I try to install SSMS. Any help is welcome! I'm out of ideas.

But at least I'm not all alone with my ss2008 install problems. A friend of mine had other issues, but at least he was able to resolve them: http://www.entwicklungsgedanken.de/2009/01/28/installation-problems-with-sql-server-2008/comment-page-1/#comment-252.

UPDATE 2: I have found out, that it's the Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 installer, that is causing the problems. But I still have no idea why.

UPDATE 3: Rollback all rants :-) I found the issue. A file could not be replaced/updated by the installer. This was due to the fact, that my hard disk seems to be defective. The file could not be read, even less replaced. After renaming it, the installation went fine. So now, I have performed a scandisk, the errors have been cleared, and everything is in order. Guess I'll be backing up more often now, though.

I just ran across a really nice article describing how to create a self hosted WCF service using HTTPS bindings. It's a nice step-by-step instruction on how to create your own certificates, adding them to your store, configuring the Windows HTTP runtime, and configuring your WCF service. You can find the article on CodeProject at this url: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/WCFSSL.aspx. Really nice article, helped me a lot. Kudos to Chris.

Also, Steve Johnson created a nice little GUI for the httpcfg command line tool, which you can find here: http://www.stevestechspot.com/ABetterHttpcfg.aspx. It's a nice addition to the article, so you are not completely bound to the console :-)

I have been using jQuery with DotNetNuke for a while now, and was very happy to finally see it integrated into DotNetNuke. What makes me wonder, is that there is no central method for including it in DNN 4.9.1. The library has been placed into the folder ~/Resources/Shared/scripts/jquery, but the one usage I could find does not use the ClientScriptManager to include the script. Instead, it manually creates a Literal script control. This will cause the script to be included multiple times, if different controls use it simultaneously. Perhaps this will be "fixed" in a future release. Perhaps adding a method to the ClientAPI for including it would be a good solution for a global include mechanism.</> 2009-01-07T10:06:00+00:00 Admin https://www.coeamyd.net/pingback.axd https://www.coeamyd.net/post.aspx?id=20afc909-b22b-4f49-824a-dc20eb023838 0 https://www.coeamyd.net/trackback.axd?id=20afc909-b22b-4f49-824a-dc20eb023838 https://www.coeamyd.net/post/2009/01/07/DotNetNuke-now-with-jQuery.aspx#comment https://www.coeamyd.net/syndication.axd?post=20afc909-b22b-4f49-824a-dc20eb023838 https://www.coeamyd.net/post/2008/12/14/Outlook-2007-stationeries-and-image-spacing.aspx Outlook 2007 stationeries and image spacing 2008-12-14T22:50:00+00:00 Admin
Today, I had to make a template for a mailing. I decided to create it as a stationery for Outlook, since this was the desired way of sending the mails. Not much to it, one might think. I created the HTML for the template (of course using the dreaded layout tables, since OL2007 went back to the stone age with its rendering engine), and copied it and the required images to the stationery folder. Having done that, the stationery showed in my list and I was able to create a mail using the template.

But what's this?! Were do the gaps in between the images come from?! And why are my shadows not aligned anymore?! Outlook simply went on and pratically destroyed my layout. I basically tried everything that came to my mind, trying to fix the gaps: modified paddings and margins using css, html attributes, added fixed widths and heights, nothing seemed to work. I even removed all the tables and simply placed two images after one another, no white space in between. Still, I got my gaps.

When everything seemed hopeless, I decided to simply send the mail the way it was. Guess what: everything is in perfect shape, when the mail arrives. No gaps, everything is aligned perfectly. I can even simply forward this mail, and it looks great in the editor. So the gaps only show, when you first create the mail using the stationery. Afterwards, everything is as it should be.

<rant>Now that's what I call a consistent user experience! Great job from the folks at Microsoft. I wasted a whole day trying to work around this bug.</rant>

And by the way, using stationery is probably not the best solution, since Outlook completely reformats your code and places all those unneccessary MSO* css styles in your mail's code. So if something goes wrong with your mail, you might consider NOT using Outlook to send it in the first place.
 2008-12-14T22:50:00+00:00 Admin https://www.coeamyd.net/pingback.axd https://www.coeamyd.net/post.aspx?id=bda60ac6-17d4-460f-8695-12b5202bf349 0 https://www.coeamyd.net/trackback.axd?id=bda60ac6-17d4-460f-8695-12b5202bf349 https://www.coeamyd.net/post/2008/12/14/Outlook-2007-stationeries-and-image-spacing.aspx#comment https://www.coeamyd.net/syndication.axd?post=bda60ac6-17d4-460f-8695-12b5202bf349 https://www.coeamyd.net/post/2008/11/19/SharePoint-DateTimeField-control-and-the-order-of-its-properties.aspx SharePoint DateTimeField control and the order of its properties 2008-11-19T16:37:00+00:00 Admin
Today, I was building a nice little page layout for SharePoint and wanted to use SharePoint DateTimeField control. Since the field I wanted to edit was DateOnly, I set the corresponding property, leaving me with this code:

<SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField runat="server" id="dtfArticleStartDate" DateOnly="true" FieldName="ArticleStartDate" />

Seems fine to me, but ASP.NET did not like it. Or rather, the control did not like it. I got an ArgumentException with the following StackTrace:

[ArgumentException: FieldName value is not specified.] Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.FieldMetadata.get_Field() +150 Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.DateTimeField.CreateChildControls() +310 System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureChildControls() +87 Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.DateTimeField.set_DateOnly(Boolean value) +29 ASP.MYNEWSPAGE_ASPX__2072755151.__BuildControldtfArticleStartDate()

FieldName value is not specified?! As you can see in my code above, it is indeed specified. But the stack trace gives us more information: The exception occurs in the compiled ASPX file.

ASP.MYNEWSPAGE_ASPX__2072755151.__BuildControldtfArticleStartDate():
 - We are building my DateTimeField control.

DateTimeField.set_DateOnly:
 - We are setting the DateOnly property.

FieldMetadata.get_Field:
 - Getting the field is where the exception occurs.

Note my ASPX-code again: I first set DateOnly="true" and then FieldName="ArticleStartDate". Oh my god, this can't be true... The solution is very simple: change the order of the attributes/properties:

<SharePointWebControls:DateTimeField runat="server" id="dtfArticleStartDate" FieldName="ArticleStartDate" DateOnly="true" />

Against all good practices, the SharePoint team actually created a direct dependency between two properties. At least the stack trace directly tells you where things go wrong, so the solution is obvious. Nonetheless, I thought, this was worth noting. It actually made me laugh, when I encountered it. Another one of those nice little pitfalls when working with SharePoint :-)

A newer (beta) version of the FCKEditorProvider for DotNetNuke has been made available: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/127/threadid/247501/scope/posts/Default.aspx

It finally integrates the newest version of FCKeditor, giving you much better styling support and various other features. So far, my tests have been quite positive with the new version.

One thing to note is the bothering "Red title" style, that is configured by default. If you wish to remove it, you can edit the fckconfig.js files located in the provider's "FCKeditor" and "Custom" folders. Just comment out the line that add the style to FCKeditor's custom styles, and you'll be rid of it.

Regards to Mauricio Márquez for his great work on the integration!

Cops arrested three suspects in a drive by shooting in Brooklyn that left one man dead, police said Monday.
Investigators believe that Darren Wilson, Rean Awong and Anjuwon Butcher were all riding in a BMW when one of them fired from the backseat at Julian Edwards on Wednesday night.
Edwards, 21, was standing near E. 89th St. and Ave. L in Canarsie when he was hit, authorities said.
Wilson, 18 and Awong, 21, were both charged with murder and gun possession. Butcher, 21, was charged with gun possession.
The driver of the BMW crashed into another vehicle two miles away after the shooting, cops said.
Medics rushed Edwards to Brookdale University Hospital where he died a day later.
Police believe the deadly gunfire was fueled by a gang rivalry.
Edwards had 10 prior arrests and was on probation until 2021 for a grand larceny bust, cops said.

Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas said he questioned his love for football this offseason while rehabbing from shoulder surgery.
The three-time All-Pro returned to the practice field at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton on Tuesday, taking 11-on-11 snaps for the first time since he underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in February after the Hawks' loss in Super Bowl XLIX.
He was activated from the team's physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Aug. 5.
After practice, the 26-year-old told reporters he struggled during the forced inactivity following his first major injury, saying he needed to get back on the field after a long offseason.
"It's been very tough," Thomas said after practice. "A lot of negative thoughts in my mind. You know, I was debating if I still loved it at one point, but being out here today, it reassured me that I loved it. I just need to be out here. I just need to be involved."
Thomas was limited on Tuesday, wearing the red non-contact jersey generally reserved for quarterbacks, but he looked as good as ever when patrolling the defensive backfield, nearly coming up with an interception after cornerback Cary Williams tipped a ball away from an intended receiver.
He said being out among his teammates brought back his love for the game.
"As soon as I got around my teammates, as soon as I got back on the field," Thomas said when asked when his love from the game came back. "Today was the perfect example for me. I felt like a little kid again just running around there. It felt good."
Thomas said he wasn't sure if he'd be ready for the Seahawks' Week 1 game at St. Louis, but felt like his rehab was on schedule and that he could do everything he needed to on the field to be able to play.
"I don't know," Thomas said on Tuesday. "I'm just happy to get a chance to go out there today. My teammates were happy that I was out there, and it just felt good to run around."
Thomas said he was encouraged watching the players taking the No. 1 snaps at safety in place of him and teammate Kam Chancellor, who is in the middle of the third week of a contract holdout, saying he thought the secondary depth had improved. But he said he struggled with his role as a teacher during the offseason and first two weeks of training camp.
"It was very tough, because I was trying to be happy for them, but I was fighting demons in my head," Thomas said. "So like I said, it just felt good to be back out here today."
Thomas said he had been in contact with Legion of Boom running mate Chancellor, urging him to report to camp.
"I just keep sending him text messages," Thomas said. "I haven't talked to him in a couple weeks, but last time I was talking to him I was just saying, 'Come home. We miss you.' I know I do."

Who loves Ekta Kapoor? Glad, we can't see any raised hands. Jokes apart, she makes such serials which challenges you. To be precise, it challenges your IQ level. There is no denying the fact that this lady single-handedly changed the Indian TV serials scenario from golden to garbage. However, this story is not a rant about her pathetic series of serials but how she got trolled by world-famous YouTuber Pewdiepie.
A few days back, Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg aka PewDiePie tweeted a video taking a dig at the quality of a video and not the content. As it turns out, it was one of her serials. Here's the tweet:
(good quality) pic.twitter.com/gsOmCizG3Q
— ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) May 9, 2018
Though his desi fans were happy to see him stumble on an Indian content, it enraged Ekta Kapoor. Instead of ignoring it, she lashed out with a tweet:
Bhai tu kaun hai! Luks like d firang junior artists we hire from colaba when we Create Paris in arey:) he will find his dopplegangers in kasam se only;) https://t.co/miESFOiFrOAdvertisement
— Ekta Kapoor (@ektaravikapoor) May 11, 2018
Soon after that, he featured India on his famous trolling video series 'You Laugh, You Lose(YLYL).' There among other things, he made fun of some of the Hindi serials, all made by Ekta Kapoor. Here's the video:
Naturally, like a 'matured' person, she dished out a series of one-sided rants against the Swedish YouTuber. Here's what she wrote:
U seem obsessed bhaiiiii! https://t.co/tZBAtDh2V5 !!! I'll send u some fresh videos
— Ekta Kapoor (@ektaravikapoor) May 13, 2018
Just opened my Twitter n realised I finally arrived 🙂 this hate welcome has put me in August company :)/):)! Just one thing if anyone is waiting for me to apologise to peudy something it's NOT happening 🙂
— Ekta Kapoor (@ektaravikapoor) May 14, 2018
Just one thing anyone who suggests racial slur to my tweet( yes I read some tweets) shud open this youtubers( yes now I know who he is) video n see how he has trashed everything from Indian soaps to Indian superstars ( rajnikants robot) n jibbed back with d same ignorance n
— Ekta Kapoor (@ektaravikapoor) May 14, 2018
And irreverence that he adopted to pan everything in India's popular culture ! So all those getting highly protective about his power n millions ( some even claimed wat I was ' worth') remember his video which we pass as sarcastic n ' humourous' was titled ' india u lose'
— Ekta Kapoor (@ektaravikapoor) May 14, 2018
P.s I seriously dint know who he is ;):):) like he doesn't know any tv personality or rajnikant! Heehaw !!!! Much love haters I'm back to making videos n fodder for this youtubers next feed

Nursing dental n back issues not able to even smile at veeres success I was finally able to guffaw as peudy has posted one more video and I knewwwwww he wud;)
— Ekta Kapoor (@ektaravikapoor) June 5, 2018
Phew! That's a long rant!
Finally, PewDiePie broke his silence and presented his reply in the most epic way possible. He made a video making fun of Ekta Kapoor followed by taking a dig at some of the Indian things that even we feel are ridiculous. Here's the video:
Naturally, Indians commented on the entire fiasco showing that we can laugh at ourselves too:
The difference between pewdiepie and ekta kapoor. While he doesn't give shit about your rant, you on the other hand can't accept criticism. This tweet shows your insecurity.
— Srideep Kavlekar (@ksrideep15) June 5, 2018
Damn it! @pewdiepie you destroyed ekta kapoor. I'll miss the over dramatic soap. 😂
— Rishay raghav (@RaghavRishay) June 4, 2018
Pewdiepie has roasted Ekta Kapoor again!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭

What is a Manicure?
What is a French Manicure?
What is a Paraffin Wax Treatment?
Explain Gel Polish?
I have thin and brittle nails. What should I do?
What should I do to prevent polish from early chipping?
What should I do to keep my artificial nails healthy and in good shape?
Can artificial nails cause mould and fungus?
What are the common nail shapes?
Do you do Pedicures / Feet?
Do you do mobile nails?
Do you have a cancellation policy?
What if I am going to be late for my appointment?
What do you do to be environmentally friendly "Green" in your salon?
A: A manicure is a service that shapes the natural nails. The cuticles are pushed back by applying a cuticle remover and soaking the nails for about 5 minutes. The cuticles are then gently pushed back and any dead skin around the cuticles is removed. Cuticle oil is applied to moisten the cuticles and prevent cracking and splitting. The free edges of the nails are filed and cleaned underneath. A clients favourite color polish is then applied to the nails.
Manicures promote nail growth and help to maintain a neat and tidy shape.
A: A French Manicure is a nail polish application. A white polish is applied to the free edge of the nail to make it look whiter than normal. A baby pink, beige or peach polish is applied over the whole nail to give the rest of the nail to give it a natural look.
Q: What is a Paraffin Wax Treatment?
A: Paraffin wax soothes chafed skin and aching joints with natural warmth while moisturising the skin. The paraffin wax helps to strengthen your nails to prevent them from becoming brittle and damaging easily.
Paraffin wax is also a form of heat therapy. It can provide short term relief from tendon/ligament ailments, arthritis or other rheumatic diseases — the heat can help increase blood flow and relax muscles, whilst moisturising can increase the skin's elasticity, allowing for increased mobility.
(NB: Paraffin Wax can only be used with natural nails and nail polish — not Acrylic Nails/Gel Polish)
A: I am frequently asked if I do Shellac Nails so I thought I would answer it here. Shellac is a brand of gel nail polish by CND, its not the 'product'. I use Polish Pro by NSI, Gel Polish by OPI and Gelish by Harmony. These are gel nail polishes which last about 10-14 days on natural nails and when applied over acrylic nails last about 2-3 weeks.
Q: I have thin and brittle nails. What should I do?
A: You could try applying a nail-hardening product such as "Healthy Hoof". I recommend this nail hardener for the treatment of soft, peeling, weak, thin, or brittle nails. With any nail hardener you will need to apply multiple layers, usually applying one coat every day for a week then removing and starting again.
Applying a thin coat of acrylic or gel can also assist nail strength.
Vitamins and Nutrients that are said to assist with nails health are: biotin, iron, folic acid, B12, garlic and echinacea. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new supplements.
See your doctor if your nails suddenly develop horizontal ridges or become discoloured. These may be symptoms of serious health problems.
Q: What should I do to prevent polish from early chipping?
A: Nail polish on natural nails will usually last about one week. Your natural nails contain oils which tend to lift the polish. General use of hands will wear the polish on the ends of your nails. Using gloves when cleaning with chemicals or washing the dishes may help to prolong the life of the polish.
When applying polish its always best to use a base coat, 2 coats of polish and then a reputable top coat.
Q: What should I do to keep my artificial nails healthy and in good shape?
A: Apply a top coat every two or three days. Wear gloves when gardening, doing dishes, and cleaning with chemicals. Do not use your nails as tools as you may cause cracking.
Regularly return to your nail technician for refills usually every three to four weeks.
Q: Can artificial nails cause mould or fungus?
A: No they can't, however, mold and fungus can grow under the artificial nails that are lifting, cracking or breaking, usually caused by water and other stuff getting trapped between the acrylic/gel nail and the natural nail.
It is recommended not to glue down any lifting of the nails unless you cannot visit your nail technician as you may seal moisture in and start this process.
Q: What are the common nail shapes?
Square: The free edge is straight across. This shape is the strongest due to it's full width.
Round: The free edge is round and conforming to the fingertip.
Square-Round: This shape is a combination of the square shape and round shape. The free edge is straight across with the corners rounded off.
Oval: The free edge is oval, think an almond shape.
Q: Do you do Pedicures / Feet?
A: I specialise in hands, no feet, thank you for your understanding. I could spend time going into detail about the extra / different equipment I would need, the different sterilisation/cleaning thats needed, the complications and embarrassing conversations needing to refer clients to Podiatrists or the fact that I enjoy the artist component of hands and don't enjoy feet… but the simple answer is no.
A: I have a home salon setup and do not provide a mobile service. I have had a few requests lately for mobile services however I am not insured for services outside of my home, and I wouldn't do your hands justice without all my equipment, colours and embellishments (there is just no possible way to transport it all around!) Thank you for your understanding.
Q: Do you have a cancellation policy?
A: Unfortunately yes. It is designed to reduce the impact on my small home business and avoid excess cost to my clients. I do maintain a waiting list for appointments but, cancellation of an appointment at short notice does not allow me time to refill the time slot. As you will understand, I am a small home business and this is a frustrating and expensive situation for me.
As a courtesy I will try to text message clients the day before to remind you of your appointment, however if I am unable to reach you please understand that it is your responsibility to remember your appointment date and time. If you arrive late please be aware you may not receive your full service as your late arrival could result in the next client waiting and will continue throughout the day.
I would appreciate 24 Hours notice of cancellations. A client who provides an inappropriate amount of notice or "no shows" will not be invited to book another appointment, however are more than welcome to call on the day of their preferred appointment and I will do my best to see them that day.
Please make all cancellations/booking changes by phone call or text message. Facebook private messages and emails are unreliable for this sort of communication.
Q: What if I am going to be late for my appointment?
A: As you will understand, I am a small home business and these are embarrassing situations for me.
Arriving late for your appointment will, at best, reduce your treatment time and at worst, lead to your appointment being cancelled or re-scheduled. I will not allow late arrivals to interfere with the start of the next customers' appointment.
If you are going to be late, please let me know via phone call or text message. Facebook private messages and emails are unreliable for this sort of communication.
Q: What do you do to be environmentally friendly "Green" in your salon?
A: I recycle all plastic bags, paper, magazines, cardboard boxes, plastic and bottles.
I ask clients if they mind having a pack to put their files and buffers in for their next appointment (cleaning them before putting back in pack!) if not I give to the client to take home and re-use.
My home and therefore home salon has solar energy to reduce our carbon footprint.

I am trying to make rounded corners for my views and fencing a strange problem.
I use the following code to make rounded corners for my view
bezierPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:btnView.bounds
CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
maskLayer.frame = btnView.bounds;
maskLayer.path = bezierPath.CGPath;
btnView.layer.mask = maskLayer;
The problem is, it is not working for bottom corners. If I use
UIRectCornerBottomLeft nothing happens, if I use
UIRectCornerAllCorners only top corners are rounded.
EDIT: I dont use layer.cornerRadius because I just want to round bottom corners.
It turned out I do not have problem, if I remove
UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight autoresizing mask from my view. But I would like to use autoresizing mask. Is it possible if yes how?
I have already tried setting autoresizingMask before and after setting the mask of the layer. No luck!

Combutol 200 mg (Ethambutol)
Ethambutol is used in the prevention, treatment and recurrence (second time treatment) of tuberculosis (a serious infection caused by bacteria that affects the lungs and in certain cases other parts of the body). It is always given in combination with other antituberculosis drugs.
How it works
Ethambutol belongs to a class of anti-tuberculosis drugs. It suppresses the growth of tuberculosis causing bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Ethambutol enters the growing bacteria and kills the bacteria by inhibiting an important enzyme arabinosyl tranferases involved in the formation of the outer protective covering of the bacteria called cell wall.
What is ethambutol?
Ethambutol is an antibiotic that prevents growth of the tuberculous bacteria in the body. Ethambutol is used to treat tuberculosis (TB), and is usually given together with at least one other tuberculosis medicine. Ethambutol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Transaction Banking in Asia is dominated by the 'Big Three' of Standard Chartered, HSBC and Citigroup - however the emergence of ambitious competition from abroad poses distinct challenges to both large and small banks.
Both locally based and international incumbents have invested vast sums of money and time into building strong market share and mind share within highly competitive Asian banking markets.
Seeking greater wallet share advantages via robust customer advocacy and cross sell initiatives, the threat posed by Australian banks committed expansive plans in Asia is not to be taken lightly.
Australian banking investment in Asia has increased over four times since 2008, with tight credit conditions and elevated funding costs driving expansion into emerging and predominantly under banked markets.
Spearheaded by ANZ, the cumulative exposure to the region exceeds $100 billion according to the most recent financial stability review conducted by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
ANZ's half yearly results indicated continued guidance towards 30 percent of revenue generation from Asia itself, making clear its intentions for the next five years. ANZ is not alone, with NAB also leveraging upon existing business banking relationships as a foundation on which to build a larger presence in the region.
HSBC and Standard Chartered, much like CBA and Westpac in Australia, operate distinctly different business models but together control the highest profile transaction banking products including account services, cash management, FX and trade finance. HSBC draws strength from its global structure and solidity, while Standard Chartered seeks higher revenue and diversification into new markets.
The question Australian banks must ask themselves is will they be able to compete with purely Asian focused banks, and how can they reposition themselves to compete successfully.
The majority of StanCharts revenue is derived in Asia, while up to half HSBC's business is based in the region – Australian banks individually generate far less proportionate revenue from the region and will face considerable difficulties providing a viable and meaningful transaction banking alternative to the market leaders. Citigroup's success in building up just shy of a quarter of its revenue in the region illustrates the potential for greater development, however the length of time and ability for incumbents to price new entrants out of the market remain as significant hurdles to be overcome.
Existing banks in Asia such as DBS, Citigroup and Bank of China have nominated a wide range of impediments Australian banks will face in penetrating the highly competitive and in the case of many product lines, crowded market.
Differing regulatory frameworks raise concerns over maximum revenue potential. Malaysia enforces a 30 percent cap on foreign ownership of banks; however Australian institutions are keenly awaiting the outcome of reviews into relinquishing these controls in one off situations.
The size and scale of existing banks offers both opportunities and risks to new entrants. A niche offering to individual business segments may prove a profitable strategy; however the scope of the revenue benefits outweighing the significant costs associated with expanding into the region is yet to be seen. When ANZ's CEO Mike Smith was asked if Australian banks can afford to diversify into Asia, his response was a calculated "Can you afford not to be in Asia?" Currently ANZ has not prised market share away from Citigroup, Standard Chartered or HSBC, however Mike Smith's extensive experience in the region holds the bank in very good stead.
The increasing interconnectedness of Asian banking markets offers advantages to Australian banks well-planned strategic growth initiatives, although the RBA has warned against over extending too quickly without consolidating existing gains. CBA and ANZ have taken active hands on approaches, while NAB's UK focus and Westpac's domestic underpinning have resulted in a more measured approach to exploiting sky rocketing Asian wealth.
As with regulatory pressure limiting foreign control of local banks in Asia, local laws are adjusting to the 'new normal' international growth shift and asserting higher capital reserve requirements when acquiring foreign stakes.
The underlying reasons as to why Australian banks really are aggressively expanding into relatively turbulent and competitive Asian financial markets are compelling, and provide further justification for the high costs associated with breaking down the barriers to entry and establishment of market share, wallet share and mind share in the region.
Continued resources demand, although currently reduced in the short term, coupled with the geographic proximity of Australia work in the favour of Australian banks. Increased economic cooperation through organisations such as APEC and ASEAN offer defined conduits of trade finance and credit opportunities. The repatriation of European banks to their home countries has created a vacuum effect that already well positioned banks such as ANZ and CBA are clearly attracted to, focusing on vanilla product lines where they can offer a comparative advantage such as short term credit and trade finance.
Within the next forty years Asia is forecasted to boast over fifty percent of all global financial assets, with more companies moving their transactional business away from traditional hubs in New York and London, seeking better value for money and local expertise.
Australian based High Net Worth Individuals are increasingly seeking better value and service in terms of their transaction banking needs, with new tailored offering proving an attractive incentive.
Declining barriers to entry in China are also appealing to Australian banks, with Westpac and ANZ earning licences for direct convertibility of the Renminbi to Australian Dollars. Broadening financial services and business friendly reform offer unique opportunities to foreign banking entrants outside of the standard areas of operation that incumbent Asian banks are currently thriving in.
Needless to say the incentive to diversify abroad is not unique to Australian banks. This is illustrated by the higher outlay of foreign bank lending by Asian banks directly to Australia to the tune of nearly $40 billion according to the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority –surpassing European bank lending for the very first time. It is little surprise given supressed European credit demand; low economic growth and high unemployment in Europe which fails to stack up against high levels of savings and generally positive sentiment in Asia.
Incumbent Asian banks face the challenge of defending their market share and avoiding customer churn in the face of increased Australian banking competition, while Australian banks must develop creative, sustainable strategies for building and maintaining new customer relationships. East & Partners Asian Institutional Transaction
Banking research program finds that the single most important transaction banker initiative for improving quality of service, and by in large improving customer retention, is to relax debt covenants and security requirements. 59.3 percent of Asia's top 1000 businesses by revenue nominate this as the number one service improvement area.
Positive externalities in the forms of lower churn, higher Market Share and stronger Wallet Share are all forecasted to arise from an increased focus on this important service area, whether you are an expansive Australian bank or incumbent Asian bank. See Graph 1.
Australian banks drive into emerging Asian markets is aspirational, given the dominant market share positions StanChart and HSBC hold over the transaction banking products the 'Big Four' Australian banks are predominantly targeting. Ultimately Australian Banks strategic focus is determined by the need to embrace change and leverage growing ties between Asian countries, or heed the advice of many analysts that believe the risks and inherent costs of expansion are too high. Banks such as ANZ would argue that this is delaying the inevitable, and pulls no punches in heralding the old mantra – Follow the Money. See Table 1.

So we all want to travel, right (at least, I know exactly one person who has never wanted to travel, and that's my grandmother, and she is curmudgeonly and 90 years old)?
It's exciting, it's different, it's exhausting in the most wonderful way, and it's where you do so much of your learning and growing— especially in your twenties.
Except, it doesn't always seem in reach. We add up the cost of hostels, flights, train journeys, eating out everyday and begin to think that it might never happen.
So, you'll be really glad to know that it's not at all the case. I thought I'd share with you how my husband and I backpacked around the UK last August as grad students and newlyweds without exploding our bank account.
Some things you should know before we get started:
- We travelled during literally the most expensive season— festival season, where places like Edinburgh double or even triple their prices.
- The UK is one of the most expensive places in Europe to backpack.
- We're from Canada and the exchange rate when we travelled was more than double, i.e., we needed over $2 Canadian just to get £1— that's atrocious, and meant that a basic coffee was costing us over $6. This is not ideal, friends.
- We travelled for 10 days, flying out of Toronto, landing in London, and from there covering Oxford, Stratford, York, Edinburgh, Inverness, the Isle of Skye, and Glasgow— flying home to Toronto from Glasgow.
- All prices will be listed in Canadian dollars, with the final total converted into USD as well.
Our expenses
- Inverness— $112/2 nights
- Glasgow— $135/1 night (an actual small hotel called The Acorn Hotel).
- Edinburgh— $265/3 nights (festival season, what did I say)
- Oxford— $72/1 night
- London— $48/1 night (did you ever think you would see London as the cheapest of anything?)
- $2074.92 round trip/2 people
- BritRail Pass— $796/8 days unlimited travel, 2 people
- Bus from Gatwick into London— $30.75/2 people
- One way Greyhound bus to Toronto from Waterloo— $26/2 people
- London Underground— $48/2 people, round trip from city centre to hostel near Hendon Station
- Roughly $325
- Bodleian Library Tour— $29/2 passes
- Isle of Skye day tour— $190.82/2 passes
- Personal spending money— $50 each
Total: $4252.49 in CAD // 3,255.44 in USD
General tips
1. Accept hostels. I cannot even imagine how expensive this trip would have been had we insisted on staying in hotels all the way— I would guess at least an additional $1000. Was that last night we spent in the hotel amazing? Oh hell yes. But the nights we spent in hostels were such an integral part of the experience. It was different. It was fun and interesting, we talked to interesting people, and got to experience a kind of culture that wouldn't have been available to us in a standard hotel. But friends? Bring yo' earplugs. Seriously.
2. Don't eat out everyday. There were a few things that were an essential part of the trip we had to get: a proper fish and chips, a full English breakfast, a pub meal at The Eagle & Child, and a quick sip at The Elephant House. We had about one coffee/tea a day in a cafe almost exclusively to get the free wifi to assure our parents we hadn't died.
But otherwise? It was grocery store all the way, and honestly, this might have been one of the best parts of the trip. We got to try all kinds of things we had never seen before, explore what's normal and familiar to the people living there, save a metric crap ton of money, and have some really amazingly gorgeous picnics. In case you're interested, the meal at The Eagle & Child was fantastic, the fish and chips at Skye incredibly overpriced and not very amazing, as way The Elephant House.
3. Explore on foot. On this trip we walked over 20kms every single day, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We saw things we never would have seen from a speeding car or bus. We got to experience the sounds and smells, talk to the people, stop to look at posters and shops, art, and ancient buildings. And the best part? It's free. We slept like babies, got to spend beautiful days in the sun, and generally had an amazing time. Protip? Bring good shoes, mate.
4. Avoid tourist crap. There are so many ways we could have added hundreds of dollars onto this trip. Castle exploration being the number one. I might be a huge Debbie Downer in saying this, but abandoned castles are abandoned castles. We were able to explore the area around both Edinburgh Castle and Eilean Donan Castle for free, still got to see the beautiful sight, and saved over $50 per person per tour.
The one thing we did do was a small-bus tour of the highlands out to the Isle of Skye which was incredibly worth it because a) we were not old enough to rent a car and b) the tour guide was the best part. He was knowledgable on 352 different subjects, funny, and über considerate. Thanks Michael!
5. Find the amazing free things. Hands down the best parts of the trip were our epic hike up Arthur's Seat— a dormant volcano just outside Edinburgh's downtown core— picnicking in the Princes Street Gardens, exploring random neighbourhoods and parks, museums like the National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of Scotland (most of which are free in the UK, by the way), wandering the grounds and buildings of Oxford University, and checking out the free parts of festivals like the International Book Festival.

By Geoffrey Rodliffe
Richard Pearse constructed several internal combustion engines: three of these are still in existence, the earliest one probably being the most interesting. It is also suggested that he built one multi-cylinderi- engine for farm use, but no trace of this now remains. In addition his motorcycle, with a single cylinder engine built from scrap parts, is on exhibition at the Museum of Transport and Technology.
Construction of the First Engine (1898 / 1903)
The only practical examples available to Pearse were hot bulb oil and traction engines. He made use of the double action principle, which was a feature of traction engines, and combined this with the design of internal combustion engines about which he had read. The result was an aero engine of completely original design. The 1906 patent specification mentions a two cylinder engine and describes one similar to that recovered by Mr Ogilvie during 1971. This engine is obviously the one used during the 1900/05 period. Until this was found it was assumed that the first serious engine Pearse had built was the four cylinder motor now exhibited at M.0.T.A.T. His first engine was obviously constructed from the most suitable scrap metals to be found in the locality of his home. We are told that for the cylinders he used cast iron soil drainpipe with an internal diameter of 4", which was being imported for land drainage. It is interesting to note that present day cylinder liners are still being made of cast iron.
By using both ends of a cylinder to provide power strokes, twice the power could be obtained from one cylinder and the weight halved. Pearse used two cylinders about a foot apart, with a crosshead fitted in a frame-work between them. His early engine did not have a crankcase, the reciprocating parts all being exposed. The carburettors, like those on a later engine, could well have been of a wick type. The inlet valves were enclosed in the induction pipes, were spring loaded in the closed position and opened automatically on the induction stroke.
It is probable that the oil mentioned by Pearse in his patent application was paraffin. This was supplied to a tin can carburettor system of his own devising through vapourising pipes running around the cylinders. It is also probable that the motor ran at one fixed r.p.m. and was started up on full power. He did not provide water cooling but mentioned air blast from the propeller helping to cool the cylinders. Exhaust valves were mechanically operated by means of pushrods and toggles, the drive being taken from the crankshaft by means of one large and one small bicycle sprocket which gave two to one reduction. Little is known about the ignition system. Pearse is known to have had considerable help from a local engineer, who assisted him in the manufacture of spark plugs and most probably with other aspects of the ignition system.
The engine and propeller were tested mounted on a framework and fitted with a spring balance. This enabled him to judge the varying thrust developed by adjustments of the propeller blade angles. The two cylinder engine was first examined by an expert in the aviation world, who estimated that Pearse could have obtained at least 15 horse power. This was calculated on a conservative basis. As we have no record of the engine r.p.m. which Pearse obtained, possibly he did not have the means of checking this and could himself only make a guess.
It is obvious that his first engine would not have been capable of running for more than a few minutes at a time, due to lack of cooling and lubrication. However, the short bursts of power obtained were of sufficient duration to get the plane airborne for brief periods. Once having reached this stage, it must have been very frustrating for him to envisage the further work and finance required even to develop his engine to the stage where he could fly to a neighboring farm and return maybe with a sack of potatoes!

Benavides and I am a criminal lawyer in Houston with years of experience in dealing with all kinds of criminal cases, including DWI/DUI.
I am a licensed Houston based criminal lawyer that represents people with criminal offenses in Harris and surrounding counties.

"It becomes increasingly easy, as you get older, to drown in nostalgia." -Ted Koppel
Tonight was nostalgic in so many ways. There I was with two friends from high school, cruising down the road, music blasting to one of our favorite songs from high school (\"This is the End\"-The Maine), with the sun roof down. The three of us have not been together many times since we've entered college. Even though time has passed, it is still familiar. We had just left dinner with another one of our friends at one of our "spots" that we regularly attended throughout our high school years (the 4 of us call ourselves the sisterhood-original, I know.) On top of this, it was one of the first nights of the year that truly felt like "summer." Sun roofs in general just scream summer to me. I think summer in itself tends to bring about feelings of reflection, because it causes you to think of previous summers. So many things change summer to summer, but so many things stay the same. I already know that I will spend many days at the pool, many days on golf cart rides, and part of my summer in Pennsylvania. These things never change. It is these things that make my summer, summer to me.
Another reason nostalgia seemed to hit was the fact that it has been exactly a year since I graduated from high school.
A day that was so important to me last year is that important to someone else this year. In ways, it seems like just yesterday. I can literally tell you what I wore, what I did and what I ate that day. In other ways, I can't believe that I have ONLY been graduated for a year. I could not even begin to fathom going back to high school. Things have changed so much and so quickly. I guess that's what happens when you become totally immersed in a completely new environment with brand new people and live there for a year. I used to think of the word "change" with such a negative connotation, but I can honestly say that change has been nothing but good in my life this past year.
Thinking about the past can only lead me to think about the future. Where will I be next year at this time? How different will I be then from how I am now? What will have changed? I do not worry about the answers, but I can not help to wonder about them.
Sidenote: At the Beginning-Richard Marx and Donna Lewis (I was at Target a couple weeks ago and the DVD "Anastasia" was on sale for $5, so I decided to buy it. I watched it tonight [NOSTALGIA AGAIN] and this song played in the credits. I thought it was appropriate for this post, plus it's just catchy.)

Background: We recently developed a piglet model for early necrotising
enterocolitis (NEC) using a combination of hypoxia and endotoxin
(Lipopolysaccharide, LPS) (1). Using this model, we have shown that the
intestinal lesions produced were ameliorated by prophylactic platelet-activating
factor (PAF) antagonist administration (2), suggesting a role for PAF in
the pathogenesis of NEC.
Aim: To develop a model for more advanced NEC using similar insults (hypoxia and LPS), but increasing the post-insult period.
Methods: 19 anaesthetised piglets median (range) age 2 days (2-4), weight 1975g (1260-2710) were studied. The animals formed 3 groups: Controls (n=9); Hypoxia + low dose LPS group (n=5); and Hypoxia + high dose LPS group (n=5). Controls breathed room air throughout. Both the low and high dose groups were given intravenous LPS (2mg/kg and 4mg/kg, respectively) and breathed 10% O2 for a 45 minute period. Physiological parameters, including heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (ABP), respiratory rate (RR), and arterial acid-base status were recorded. Experiments were terminated after 6 hours and the internal organs were removed, examined macroscopically and then fixed in formalin for histological examination.
Results: All physiological parameters were stable in controls. The 'high
dose' group became significantly more acidaemic: mean pH 7.10 compared with the
'low dose' group (7.37) and controls (7.43) (p<0.01 and <0.0001, respectively).
Mean blood pressure (mmHg) decreased from 88.4 to 63.2 (p<0.0001) in 'low dose'
group and from 95.3 to 48.8 (p<0.0001) in 'high dose' group. During the hypoxic
phase of the experiment mean arterial PaO2 (mmHg) decreased in both the 'low
dose' and 'high dose' groups (from 67.3 to 34.7 and from 62.0 to 37.3,
Histological examination of the intestines in controls was normal in 8/9 and showed mild neutrophil infiltration in 1/9. Examination of the 'low dose' group showed congestion and patchy intraluminal and mucosal haemorrhage in the small and large intestine in 2/5; additionally, there was mucosal ulceration in 3/5. The 'high dose' group showed extensive severe congestion and epithelial apoptosis with inflammation in 1/5; villous irregularity and mucosal haemorrhage in 1/5; and mucosal ulceration and transmural haemorrhagic necrosis of ileum and caecum in 3/5. Pneumatosis intestinalis was present in 2/5 in the 'low dose' group and 2/5 in the 'high dose' group.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, our unique model is the first to demonstrate pneumatosis intestinalis, a feature which is pathognomonic for NEC, making it the closest model for the condition seen in humans. This will enable further study of the role of PAF in the pathogenesis of NEC, and importantly, the role of PAF antagonists as possible rescue treatment for this devastating disease.

'Esteros,' by director Papu Curotto has been making the rounds this year and to great reception. And after watching the trailer, the Spanish language film 'Esteros' is now on my radar.
"Matías and Jerónimo know each other since childhood. Their friendship takes a new turn during the holiday before starting high school when they both experience their sexual awakening. Matías's father breaks up their relationship by accepting a job very far away. Family's contempt against homosexuality brings Matías to deny his friend and himself. More than ten years later, Matías returns to his old town for carnival with his girlfriend. He unexpectedly runs into Jerónimo… Feelings will slowly reappear and will reach a climax, but at what price?"
Showing at the upcoming MiFo Film Festival. Watch the trailer below. Enjoy!
