COLUMBUS, Ohio Ugly losses against Vancouver and St. Louis had the Blackhawks stewing, and they needed to put that angst back in their game.
So on Thursday they took their frustrations out on the Blue Jackets.
Jonathan Toews scored two goals and Steve Montador recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick in the Blackhawks 6-3 victory over Columbus at Nationwide Arena. The Blackhawks, who were without center Dave Bolland, stopped their two-game losing streak clicking twice on the power play and re-igniting their offense.
And it started and sometimes ended with the Blackhawks defensemen, who combined for eight points on Thursday night. Brent Seabrook and Nick Leddy each had two assists.
I think that makes a big difference when were part of the attack, said Duncan Keith. It alleviates some of the pressure on our forwards, as far as giving them some room. All of the defensemen were better at that tonight.
That includes Montador, who got his goal his first of the season and his assist on his first night on the Blackhawks power play. As Toews said, he made a good argument to be out there. That, coupled with his first-period fight with former Blackhawks defenseman James Wisniewski, earned him the Howe trick.
Hes the first Blackhawks player to have one since March 27, 2009, when Seabrook did it in a 3-2 overtime victory over the New Jersey Devils.
I wanted to have success. I didnt picture this exactly but its definitely exciting to be part of contributing to the success, he said. Sometimes you get on the score sheet, sometimes you dont. Its just about being in front of the net, so its pretty familiar. You have to be an outlet for someone.
Andrew Brunette scored his third power-play goal of the season. Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa also scored; Corey Crawford stopped 27 of 30 for the victory.
The Blackhawks wanted to get going quick on Thursday night and, for the most part, did that. Scoring five straight goals from Toews late first-period score to Hossas early third-period one didnt hurt their cause, either.
Neither did scoring on that much-maligned power play.
Were not talking about (power-play) rank this or that; were just going to stick with it, Toews said with a grin. It doesnt matter who scores the goals or how. Its just the fact that one of our units can go out there and make something happen. Thats what youre looking for.
The Blackhawks defensive core is deep and experienced. On Thursday, they were also the teams biggest catalysts for breaking out of the mini-slump.
I thought our D was very noticeable tonight, coach Joel Quenneville said. We create so much off that and our team game really picks up. It seemed like we had better rotation (on the forward lines), but I thought the D was spearheading the attack.
Kane-like goal?
Jonathan Toews second goal on Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason was from a deep angle, one very similar to the one Patrick Kane had on his Stanley Cup-winning goal two seasons ago.
I dont think Kaner would admit he was shooting for a rebound there, said Toews, who added thats what he was trying to do. I think it just fooled him. It was a tricky shot and it happened to sneak through. I dont think youre going to get that same statement out of (Kane).
Bolland out
Dave Bolland was out of Thursday nights game. Bolland, who blocked a shot off his right foot against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, was seen wearing a walking boot on Thursday. His status for Fridays game against the Calgary Flames is unknown.
Daniel Carcillo took an unknown number of stitches in his upper and bottom lip after taking a puck to the mouth. He returned to finish the game, assisting on Kanes breakaway goal.
In honor of Veterans Day, the Blackhawks will sport their camouflage jerseys in warmups when they host the Flames on Friday night.
Nick Leddys eight assists are the most among Blackhawks defenseman.
Marian Hossas goal was his team-leading eighth. Jonathan Toews is next with seven.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In the first-ever accounting of its kind, Congressman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass) has found that in 2011, federal, state and local law enforcement agencies made more than 1.3 million requests of wireless carriers for the cell phone records of consumers, and that number is increasing every year. Last month, Rep. Markey queried nine mobile wireless carriers about their policies and practices for sharing their customers' mobile phone information with law enforcement agencies after a report in the New York Times reported that law enforcement was routinely requesting consumers cell phone records, sometimes with little judicial oversight and no consumer knowledge. The responses received by Rep. Markey were startling in the volume and scope of requests made by law enforcement, including requests for "cell tower dumps" in which carriers provide all the phones numbers of cell users that connect with a tower during a discreet period of time, including information on innocent people. According to the carriers, all requests were made pursuant to a legal warrant or granted due to an emergency situation in which an individual was in imminent danger.
"We cannot allow privacy protections to be swept aside with the sweeping nature of these information requests, especially for innocent consumers," said Rep. Markey, senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and co-Chair of the Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus. "Law enforcement agencies are looking for a needle, but what are they doing with the haystack? We need to know how law enforcement differentiates between records of innocent people, and those that are subjects of investigation, as well as how it handles, administers, and disposes of this information."
A link to the responses from the carriers can be found HERE.
Other findings from the responses to Rep. Markey include:
- There were approximately 1.3 million federal, state, and local law enforcement requests for cell phone records to wireless carriers in 2011 (This number does not include T-Mobile because the company did not provide this information in its response.).
- As a point of comparison in 2010, there were approximately 3,000 wiretaps issued nationwide.
- Verizon reported that there has been an annual increase of law enforcement requests of 15 percent, and T-Mobile reported and increase of 12-16 percent.
- Information shared with law enforcement includes data such as geolocation information, content of text messages, wiretaps, among others.
- Requests also include "cell tower dumps" in which carriers provide all the phones numbers of cell users that connect with a tower during a discreet period of time.
- In many cases, this includes information on innocent people, as cell phone tower dumps include all the calls made from a tower during a period of time.
- There is no comprehensive reporting of these information requests anywhere – this is the first ever accounting of this.
Rep. Markey sent letters to U.S. Cellular, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile USA Inc., Leap Wireless Inc./ Cricket Communications, Inc., MetroPCS, Verizon Communications Inc., AT&T, C Spire Wireless, and TracFone Wireless.

Discipleship Workbook
The greatest gift we receive through our salvation is the ability to have fellowship with God: to have an intimate, daily relationship with Him. As we abide in Him, God gives us the ability to obey Him and do His will (John 15:4-5).
This devotional will help you develop a daily devotional time, to set aside time to hear from God through His Word (the bible), and to teach you about your faith—the important doctrines and beliefs of Christianity, and God's wonderful promises to us as His children.
The corresponding Leader's Guide for this workbook can be found here.
What is Discipleship?
As Christians, many of us wonder what God's will is for our life. We know that following Him means more than going to church or even attending missions trips—so, as God's children, what are we supposed to be about? To go and make disciples. Saved. Abiding. Applying. Transforming. Will you answer the call to become a disciple of Christ?
(Matthew 28:19-20)
Church Discipleship Plan
This outline has been written for the purpose of helping the Christian church get a clear vision for what is, and how to, disciple God's children with priorities, tools and strategies. Our hope is that you will find this information helpful for implementing discipleship in your church.
The Great Commission
This booklet will help you to better understand exactly what discipleship is. It will also help church leaders to formulate a vision for their own discipleship strategies in their church and men's and women's ministries.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
A 14-page workbook that establishes the biblical principles of forgiveness and the steps to reconcile broken relationships. Great for personal study or as a counseling tool.

The highlighted comment was edited in this revision. [diff]
I noticed that you made this message empty with a control character:
Is there a reason for this?
Hi User:Amire80, I noticed this message (MediaWiki:Advancedsearch-field-preview-sort/bn) used with other three message (MediaWiki:Advancedsearch-sort-preview-create-timestamp-desc/bn, MediaWiki:Advancedsearch-sort-preview-last-edit-desc/bn, MediaWiki:Advancedsearch-sort-preview-relevance/bn) to form a sentence (e.g. "Sort by creation date").
Because of Bengali grammatical structure, i needed to do that. In Bengali "creation date" (তৈরির তারিখ) comes first, then "by" (অনুযায়ী), then "Sort" (বাছাই করুন). Same thing with other two messages. So, i made that message empty & move that part into other three message.
If i broke something, i can revert this. but then translation would be long & little bit odd. My suggestion is if possible make this message (MediaWiki:Advancedsearch-field-preview-sort/bn) as "Sort by $1", so i can easily translate & make adjustment.

More relevant content. More targeted offers and promotions.
Fine-tuned frequency and send times.
These are some of the mechanics of email tasks marketers are looking to AI to help improve.
"With tools such as Bluecore and Custora, we are able to learn from the customer's past behavior and also anticipate what customers want to purchase - as well as the timing for when they want to buy," says David Gottesman, director of digital marketing at Teleflora.
"This allows Teleflora to create a strategy with automated triggers for every stage of the customer lifecycle, helping build brand loyalty and keep the customer coming back."
Does it work? Gottesman can't help but like what he sees.
"This proved to be a very successful approach for us this Mother's Day. Automated behavior-based trigger programs generated 50% more orders than last year.
"Throughout the Mother's Day holiday period, we ran a series of predicted product affinity campaigns where we found the customers who are most likely to be interested in a specific category and leveraged that data for product-specific campaigns."
One Billion Email Offers
"Last year we sent close to one billion email offers," says Mike Gatten, VP of cross marketing strategy for MGM Resorts International.
"The ability to target customers quickly and effectively makes email an ideal channel for these strategies.
"Email is a major component of our marketing strategy, especially in terms of driving hotel room bookings. This channel allows for highly personalized messaging that targets customers on a mass scale."
Like David Gottesman at Teleflora, Mike Gatten at MGM is looking to AI to optimize email marketing campaigns.
"We heavily utilize predictive analytic techniques to identify customer preferences that drive the personalization of our messages. These efforts help build lasting customer relationships by making more relevant offers (and) messages to our guests."
Turning The Promise Of AI For Email Marketing Into Performance
What can email marketers reasonably expect from AI when it comes to optimizing campaigns?
Marketing consultant Kevin Indig says, "Any problem that can be answered with lots of data will be easy to solve with deep learning."
Indig suggests that email marketers look for ways AI can answer these five questions:
- When is the perfect time to send an email?
- How can email best be personalized?
- What content resonates with subscribers?
- Is the subscriber real or a bot?
- How likely is subscriber to respond to a marketing promotion?
These are the cornerstones of email campaign optimization which AI is helping to refine.
"I personally think and see that email marketing is getting stronger again," says Indig.
"Communication moves from email to messengers such as Stride, Slack and Skype. But everybody still has an email address. That creates a vacuum that companies can fill - if they're doing it right."
The Devil Still Lurks In The Details
The exact number is elusive.
But "an average office worker receives 121 emails a day and sends around 40 business emails daily," according to research gathered by Templafy.
As inboxes grow more clogged and attention spans wither, email continues to perform well for marketers who build targeted campaigns.
The average open rate for retail emails is 12% and the clickthrough rate is 8%, according to research from Constant Contact.
The promise of AI to improve email marketing results is already being fulfilled.
Historical customer behavior, always an enigma, can provide more actionable clues.
Despite the assist from AI, the challenge remains the same…
Gathering good data, interpreting it thoughtfully, and making the appropriate adjustments.
Minus strategy marketing staggers. I am a somewhat reformed ex-media business executive, with tours of duty at AOL, CBS Radio, and Nationwide Communications. I'm a fan…

Ninth Circuit Issues Surprising Ruling on Class Action Waivers
Topics: Arbitration Agreements, Court Decisions
Today the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its ruling in Morris v. Ernst & Young, dealing a surprising blow to the enforceability of class and collective action waivers in employment arbitration agreements. More specifically, the Ninth Circuit agreed with the view of the National Labor Relations Board (beginning with the NLRB's D.R. Horton decision) that it is a violation of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) for an employer to condition employment on an employee signing an arbitration agreement that waives the employee's ability to pursue claims on a class or collective basis and instead requires that all claims be resolved on an individual basis in arbitration.
Of course, the NLRB's D.R. Horton opinion has been widely rejected by several courts, including the Second, Fifth and Eighth Circuit Courts of Appeal. Prior to today, the Seventh Circuit was the only Court of Appeal to agree (recently) with the NLRB's position. California state courts similarly have rejected the NLRB's position and have enforced class action waivers in employment arbitration agreements. Thus, the majority view is that class action waivers do not violate the NLRA. The minority view is that these waivers violate the NLRA by interfering with employees' right to engage in concerted activity for mutual aid and protection.
Today's Ninth Circuit ruling creates new uncertainty for California employers seeking to enforce arbitration agreements with their employees. Enforceability of a class action waiver will now depend on whether the case is in California state court or in a California federal court. If in California state court, the court likely will enforce a class action waiver in an arbitration agreement. California federal courts, however, are bound to follow Ninth Circuit precedent and will not be able to enforce a class waiver in an arbitration agreement unless the facts can be meaningfully distinguished from those before the Ninth Circuit in the Ernst & Young case. In that regard, it is notable that the arbitration agreement at issue in the Ernst & Young case was mandated on employees as a condition of employment. There is some question whether the enforceability issue would be decided differently if the arbitration agreement at issue was presented to employees with a limited right to opt out of the agreement -- thus making any agreement to arbitrate and any waiver of class claims voluntary on the part of the employee. The NLRB has not distinguished between mandatory arbitration agreements and agreements whereby employees are given the right to opt out, but there is some language in Ernst & Young suggesting that there may be a basis for such distinction. There are, of course, downsides to allowing employees the right to opt out and it remains to be seen whether an opt-out right will impact the enforecability analysis in any event.
The split of authority among the Circuit Courts is almost certain to invite review of this issue by the United States Supreme Court. Stay tuned for a petition for review. In the meantime, enforceability of class waiver provisions will largely depend on where a case is venued. Federal courts within the Ninth Circuit (which includes, among other locations, California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada) will not be a favorable venue for employers on this issue.

Kawida Lodge #480 is the Order of the Arrow Lodge of the Blue Grass Council #204. Together, we serve 55 counties in central, eastern, and northern Kentucky. Our lodge's mission is to achieve the purpose of the Order of the Arrow as an integral part of the Boy Scouts of America in the council through positive youth leadership under the guidance of selected capable adults.
Our Scout Camp is called the McKee Scout Reservation, and most of our events take place there. Traditionally, we have seven events per year: two Fellowships, four Ordeals, and a Winter Awards Banquet, not including the weekly call-outs and Brotherhood ceremonies at summer camp.
Our Lodge Leadership consists of a Lodge Chief, a Vice Chief of Service, a Vice Chief of Brotherhood, a Secretary, a Treasurer, a Quartermaster, and a Digital Media Coordinator. All of these positions are served by youth members of the lodge. The Lodge Chief is in charge of the Lodge and its administration. The Vice Chief of Service is in charge of all lodge events and any other Lodge service projects and workdays. The Vice Chief of Brotherhood is in charge of ceremonies (except Vigil Honor), Brotherhood conversions, Journey to Excellence, elections, and Spirit of the Arrow Booklets. The Secretary is in charge of all publications, such as the Thunderbird, our lodge newsletter. The Treasurer is in charge of registration, and running the Lodge Store. The Quartermaster is in charge of all lodge equipment, excepting lodge merchandise. The Digital Media Coordinator is in charge of all lodge digital media. Each of these officers has an adult adviser.
We also use committees such as the Digital Media Committee, the Publications Committee, and the Training Committee, just to name a few. Any member of Kawida Lodge can join a committee, whether they are an officer or not.
Council Involvement
Kawida Lodge is very involved in the Blue Grass Council! We provide staff and support to many council events, such as Brave the Blue and the Cub Scout McKee Fall Adventure. Our chapters provide support to many district events, such as camporees and Cub family campouts. Youth Kawida Arrowmen serve on summer camp staff and NYLT staff. We provide a lot of support to Camp McKee, including setting up and taking down tents every year and maintaining the camp.
Purpose of the Lodge
- To recognize those campers — Scouts and Scouters — who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives, and by such recognition cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner as to warrant recognition.
- To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit.
- To promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as a part of the unit's camping program, both year-round and in the summer camp, as directed by the camping committee of the council.
- To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.
To achieve this purpose, we have a constitution, called The Guide. The Guide includes all National and Council Guidelines, as well as added Lodge Guidelines.

There are many reasons to like Nike shoes, but brand recognition is one of the most important considerations for young people. It remains to be seen whether these considerations are indeed reasonable. The bottom line is that it is possible to find perfectly presentable shoes that are not going to cause long term damage to your feet. It is also possible to keep yourself at the highest levels of the fashion stakes with these shoes. There is something casual and yet sophisticated about the Nike brand. Of course within the class you will find some other interesting shoes such as those that come from the Adidas line. It is up to the consumer to get the shoes that best reflect their personality and priorities.
Why do we go for signature shoes?
The idea of the brand and specifically the designer brand has embedded within modern society with such alacrity that it seems impossible that there will ever be another alternative. People just have to accept the fact that we are now defined by brands and labels. On one hand some people consider this to be a social-economic phenomenon that is rooted in the need for the middle class to improve their lot. If you are in the lower middle class category then shoes can raise you to the upper middle class category. Of course the upper middle class really is a step towards the posh people at the top of the ladder. This continuous struggle for recognition has not been lost on the commercial world which is constantly working to ensure that its products broadly reflect the priorities of the customer base.
If you wish to escape your class setting using the Nike brand, then they are more than happy to assist you in this quest. This class distinction is not really clear because the shoes tend to use celebrities who have money but are not necessarily of the upper class. Therefore it is more a question of affluence than social class. Of course at a certain level within the societal structure, wearing snickers is not really the socially acceptable thing. The Queen of England would look rather silly in snickers and yet the vastly more powerful President of the United States of America is capable of wearing them without batting an eyelid. The challenge for the shoe makers is to find the qualities that appeal to members of the public and then ensure that these are part of the advertising campaign for shoes in general.
What about the quality?
In the quest to push brand identity, it is possible to lose the quality of the shoes in question. Nevertheless it is clear that the shoe makers are making efforts towards ensuring that the high prices charged are justified by the quality of the shoes on offer. For example some snickers have been developed with air lifters that increase the comfort levels for people who are in the middle of a bout of exercise. These are the things that complement the great brand recognition that has sustained the industry for a long time.

She's newly divorced, but Eva Longoria isn't letting that prevent her from planning a future – as a mom. In the next chapter of her life, Longoria, 36, says she wishes to raise a family.
"[I want to] have kids and be a mom," the Desperate Housewives star, who split from Tony Parker last year, says on Rachael Ray Show in an episode that airs Monday, April 11. Longoria does not mention Eduardo Cruz, to whom she has been linked since February, but the actress confesses that she fears entering the dating scene.
"I'm not very approachable," she says. "I'm not good with [dating], I get really nervous! It's probably strange [that] I've never been a dater. I've been married or in a relationship, and so this is going to be, you know, scary." Somewhat easier has been Longoria's ability to take care of her girlfriends instead of a husband.
"I'm really domestic, so I had a really strong identity in being a wife," she says. "Finding myself again outside of somebody else has been not even challenging – it's been fun. It's been like, here we go!"
Longoria, who has taken two of her gal pals under her wing by sharing her home with them, says, "I'm like the mother hen for a sorority house. It's all women, all the time. So, we're always cooking! I love it!"
Babies for everyone tbh.

You can make an image fade out of existence using GIMP. This step by step process is simple to complete and easy to do by creating new layers and adjusting their opacity. When you've created the layers, all you have to do is export them as a GIF.
1. Create an image in GIMP on a transparent layer.
2. Make several copies of this transparent layer. Do this by clicking on the duplicate layer button in the Layers window.
3. In each copy, set the opacity to a slightly lower amount. The layers in this smiley face GIF are gradually reduced by twenty percent opacity. Don't forget to create layers with zero and one hundred percent opacity.
4. Create a new layer that will serve as a background for each of the images. You can make the new layer any color or image background you want.
5. Make several copies of this layer and place one layer between each of the smiley face layers.
6. Merge each smiley face layer down onto each background layer. Do this by highlighting each smiley layer, and then clicking on Merge Down in the Layer tab.
7. Save your GIMP project as an XCF file for later edits. Just in case you don't like the way your GIF turns out.
8. Export the GIMP project as a GIF file. In the options, set the delay between frames to your preferred time period. This smiley face animation uses a 250 millisecond delay between frames. Set the other GIF options as you prefer them. Click "Export" to create the animation.

When Californians passed Proposition 215 in 1996, effectively legalizing marijuana for people with chronic pain or wasting diseases, it all seemed, well, so California. The seriousness of the compassionate-use movement soon melted away, and in the decade that followed, Californians saw the rise of dispensaries as pharmacy/weed-boutique hybrids, medical clinics that existed solely to legitimize patients' marijuana use and the near full acceptance of marijuana as a major agricultural crop. The Golden State was first among more than a dozen states to legally reinvent the herb as medicine, and yet, almost 15 years later, medical marijuana remains not quite legal, caught somewhere between Western medicine and Californication.
The North Bay is not completely unaffected by the commercialization trend, but despite its spot smack between Oaksterdam and Humboldt, area communities have remained somewhat resistant to the invasive weed. An exception is the medical-marijuana clinic in downtown Santa Rosa. It sits discreetly in a single-story building across from the library, next to a real estate office.
A small paper sign reading Compassionate Health Options marks the spot, yet the name is somewhat misleading considering that most people visit the clinic with just one health option in mind: medical marijuana. For a cash fee and a good tale, the story goes, anyone can get a doctor's recommendation for marijuana. Patients with everything from AIDS to ADHD are treating their symptoms with the weed, and a person need look no further than a weekly paper in any town to find a list of doctors competing to write recommendations.
It's a familiar business model to be sure. Clinics operate with low overhead and have a ready-made remedy to offer patients, no matter the etiology of a symptom. Dr. Hanya Barth is a doctor specializing in medical-marijuana recommendations, but she doesn't want to be confused with the so-called prescription mills, despite her enthusiasm for the herb. Barth recognizes the potential for marijuana to be misused, but says that shouldn't detract from its usefulness.
"It's really not the medicine that's the problem," Barth says. " It's a great healing plant, but it can be abused. If I do a good job medically and someone does something inappropriate after I recommend marijuana, that's something I don't have any control over."
Barth is petite with long, gray-white hair and light-colored eyes obscured by a pair of wire-rimmed glasses. She doesn't fit any stereotype about what a marijuana doctor should be. Barth is a mother of seven, as she readily points out, and a grandmother to seven more. Though she doesn't use marijuana herself, Barth say she's constantly amazed at the range of illnesses it can treat, and that, not the money, is what drives her to open more clinics.
"The thing that surprises me every single day," Barth says, "is that this simple plant, that's considered by some to be a weed, can be so healing, physically and mentally."
Barth started her business five years ago, a modest one-woman operation where she answered phones, filed paperwork and saw patients herself. Today, she owns a chain of eight medical-marijuana clinics around the Bay Area and Northern California. The newest members of her green empire opened in Santa Cruz and San Jose last month, and there are already plans for a ninth clinic.
If it seems backward for patients to seek doctors based on the medicine they want to receive, rather than having a doctor diagnose a problem and prescribe a treatment based on medical expertise, that's because it is. But it's not exactly uncommon. Consider the way pharmaceuticals are marketed in magazines and on TV, where we see happy people run through green fields or play with puppies while a voiceover advises, "Ask your doctor about [insert drug name with side effects here]." There could come a day when big drug companies market marijuana, too, listing side effects such as dry mouth, forgetfulness and a strange compulsion for Doritos.
The California Medical Association, which represents more than 35,000 physicians in the state, has publicly supported doctors' right to recommend marijuana, and advocated the need for more research, calling restrictions on such research "failed policy." Still, the federal DEA compares the use of marijuana as medicine to using opium medicinally. Why, the DEA asks, would a doctor prescribe opium when there is a pharmaceutical version called morphine? And why would patients smoke marijuana, a controlled substance, when there is Marinol, a synthetic THC with side effects that don't include getting high?
The answers could be as simple as availability and cost. According to DEA estimates, marijuana is the largest cash crop in California, and it can be grown at little cost by anyone with a doctor's note. But how easy is it, really, to get the recommendation?
Compassionate Health Options' website has a list outlining the kinds of infirmity that a person might treat with marijuana. I'm young and healthy, but I cross-referenced the list and settled on a compilation of true-to-life symptoms. Insomnia, hyperactivity, anxiety—sure, I have these things. So with a cheerful stride and a pocket full of the Bohemian editor's cash, I headed toward the clinic and a greener future.
Inside, the office was clean and vaguely medical with white walls and the soothing music of Jon Bon Jovi. Across from the check-in desk was a waiting room with surprisingly ethnic magazines: Latina, Black Enterprise and, of course, Health. The intake form was six pages long and wanted information ranging from the quality of my relationship to my parents to my drug-use history. A quick screening and blood-pressure check by the receptionist confirmed that I was healthy. Then on to the doctor, a short man wearing jeans and an orange turtleneck under a blue flannel shirt.
Much to my surprise, he wouldn't diagnose me with ADHD or social anxiety disorder, or anything that could secure me a legal right to smoke weed. I had already handed over the cash! He did give me a temporary recommendation, good for two months, so I could try to treat myself while I looked for another doctor who would help me get a diagnosis. All of which raises the question: Why wouldn't a person just ask their regular doctor about marijuana?
Barth says that many people are still uncomfortable with asking their primary-care physician to recommend the same stuff they used to covertly smoke behind the high school gym. Many doctors are also uncomfortable recommending the drug, despite endorsements from organizations like the California Medical Association. To top it off, insurance companies refuse to cover marijuana purchases in the same way they cover pharmaceutical prescriptions or trips to a clinic like one of Barth's, which, she says, is one of the reasons she only accepts cash. It's like a vicious circle that keeps the herb from being truly accepted as medicine. The fact that many dispensaries or co-ops severely blur the line between pharmacy and weed exchange doesn't help either.
I felt compelled, despite the fact that I have too much anxiety to actually smoke marijuana, to visit a local medical-marijuana co-op. Before a person can even get close to the door at one of these places, there are several obstacles: identification, doctor's recommendation, light weapons check. No phones allowed, no cameras, no electronic devices, all to protect patient identity. It's a strange stance to take, considering that patients are presumably acting within the law, and it's an attitude that, again, conflicts with the idea that marijuana is medical.
Nonetheless, I passed security and headed to the intake desk for what was a surprisingly traditional medical experience—except for the magazine selection, which included West Coast Cannabis, a publication "for hemp enthusiasts everywhere!" and also, I gather, for people who like to look at really big pictures of marijuana buds. Black Enterprise was conspicuously absent.
My recommendation was deemed legitimate, so I headed into the showroom, where I felt the way a lot of people my parents' age feel about technology—overwhelmed by the options. It turns out there is a lot more to know about consuming marijuana than which side of the Zig-Zag to lick. Glass cases displayed more than pot; there were pills, salves, edibles, resins, dusts and even a few live plants. And the prices? Well, they were not how I remembered them. I left empty-handed, slightly offended at being offered a joint of shake for $10.
More striking than the price was the evidence that there is no typical medical-marijuana user. Some people in Barth's office or the marijuana co-op were visibly unwell, but otherwise there was no indication in any of the patients' appearances that they were a certain type—a marijuana-smoking type. Maybe it's just a California thing.

There are few opportunities when studying architecture to translate your designs into built projects, except if you actively seek those projects which allow you to do so. This extracurricular project gave us an opportunity to put our design skills to the test and produce a multifunctional events space for use by both staff and future students. The theatre took about 2-3 weeks to complete and has inspired many of us to seek future projects with which we can develop our skills further. The difference between working as a team on an academic project compared to an active, built project is significant, and we have all learnt valuable lessons about both team work and designing as a result.
The theatre concept originated from the study of popular natural artist Andy Goldsworthy and his technique of 'ordering' nature using materials found on site. Billhook Nook Theatre consists of a large sculptural roof structure designed to represent the 'ordered' interpretation of the surrounding woodland. This 'birds nest' form is built around a triangular structural frame which is then supported using chains by the surrounding trees. The benefit of securing the structure to the trees is that the roof, although static, moves gentle with the trees in the wind adding a dynamic character to the theatre (unlike many traditional theatres). The theatre is also intended to not only draw your attention to the focal point (in this case the stage area), but to draw your eye up to the canopy of leaves above.
The SHED (Studio for Hands-on Experimental Design) team, led by myself currently includes second year students Benjamin Nourse, Aut Angpanitcharoen, Luisa Pires, Andrew Warwick and Prinka Anandawardhani Choesin. We all look forward to experiencing Billhook Nook Theatre throughout the seasons, and we encourage everyone else to do the same as it will soon be available as a bookable education space on campus. The theatre can be found below the new business school development near parkwood on campus, just look for the door.
This project would not have been possible without the help of Creative Campus and Ian Bride, and we look forward to future projects together.

Green Gift Guide for the Family
Let it Grow with Aeroponics
Encouraging your family to garden together or just eat more homegrown greens is a good place to start. To make it fun and easy, get an Aerogarden. The Aerogarden has NASA tested Aeroponic Technology, like at the Disney World's "Living with the Land" attraction at the Epcot center. Aeroponics is a dirt-free growing method where plant roots are suspended in air within a 100% humidity, highly-oxygenated growing chamber. So there is no dirt or mess to deal with and there is no need for a green thumb.
Remarkably, according to the Aerogarden website, Aerogarden plants will grow 5 times faster than plants in dirt. Which mean you can have a beautiful little garden in your home, year round. Choose the seed packets that are sent to you and have fun growing: herbs, greens, vegetables, fruits or flowers. A built in light timer turn lights on and off.
The Aerogarden is a gift for everyone to enjoy and the only hard work you have to do is get your kids to eat the greens, but I'm sure that wont be a problem when they see where it comes from. See Green Garden Here
Green in the Outdoors
If you're the type of family that loves the outdoors and loves to go camping, here is a way to leave a lighter footprint wherever it is you decide to camp. Its and Eco Camp Kit from Biomelifestyle, that comes with: a solar shower, a water-powered digital alarm clock, a freeplay radio, an organic cotton roll-up bed and a clear-cased self-sufficient torch in an eco-friendly bag. You can update to a luxurious eco-camp kit and in addition get a soft Shetland wool throw, one bar of organic soap and one organic cotton bath towel. Or you could always put a green camping bag together yourself, but do you really have the time? While you are camping, and before you leave remember to pick up your trash too. Try to leave the place as clean as or cleaner than you found it.
Biomelifestyle also has environmentally friendly products for the whole house: bedroom, kitchen, living room bathroom and of course the outdoors.
See Green Camp Kit Here
Green Fun Game Night
If bad weather is keeping you and your family indoors or if you're an indoor type of family, you can still be environmentally conscious. Thanks to designer, Jim Deacove, there is a board game called, A Beautiful Place. Kids and their parents can play and enjoy it while learning about the environment. A Beautiful Place can be played to learn simple environmental concepts or as a nature game. The game includes: Board 12 x 12 in, Pollution Clouds, Ugly Puzzle, Good Ecology Deed Tokens, Movers and Die. The age level of the game is 4-7 and the amount of players that can play at once is 4 players. Also take a look at other games like Earth Game and Harvest Time at Grass Roots. See Green Game Here
Don't Just Wrap it Map It
Whatever green gift you choose to purchase remember even the wrapping paper you use can be green, fun and sometimes, believe it or not, geographically educational. How is this possible? Forest Saver Design has made reclaimed maps into wrapping paper. The awesome wrap maps are available in NYC Subway and topographical designs. Also take a look at Forest Saver Design's journals, notepads, stationary and coasters made from recycled maps. See Green Store Here
Green Gift Certificates to the Rescue
If you still can't find the right gift, give gift certificates a chance. Gift certificates have become a big part of gift giving in our society. Yes, they can be a bit impersonal, but some people can be so difficult to shop for and actually like having the option of choosing their gift. Whether it be their age, their style or their personality, sometimes it is just easier to give a gift certificate that says, "Here! I want you to buy whatever you really want", but make sure its a gift certificate to an environmentally friendly place. Eco-Artware is a good start. See Green On-line Store Here

A Zen Master's Advice On Coping With Trump | HuffPost
"The Huffington Post recently interviewed a nun and a monk at Nhat Hanh's Plum Village monastery in France, to ask what advice they would give to activists who want to take action during Trump's presidency.
Sister Peace, who previously worked in the office of the mayor of Washington, says action must be inspired by a deep-rooted sense of love.
"If we can be strong in ourselves, then we could offer a resistance that is nonviolent," she said. "But that means that we ourselves are at a place where we can have that recognition and we can offer that to another. And that is a great, great source of love and having the other feel they're being recognized and listened to and embraced."
She says that those who are passionate about taking action should learn from the nonviolent approach of the civil rights movement.
Referring to the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, during which marchers remained passive despite being chased and beaten, she said: "They were taught how to be quiet, how to be still, how not to resist and fight back no matter what happened."

Here's the opening of their "article":
July 29 (Bloomberg) -- Orders for U.S. durable goods, excluding automobiles and aircraft, unexpectedly rose in June, signaling manufacturing may expand in the second half of the year.
Excluding transportation equipment, demand for goods meant to last several years climbed 1.1 percent, the most in four months, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. Total orders fell 2.5 percent, the first decrease in three months.
So, EXCLUDING one of our largest segments it was slightly positive on a month to month basis, but OVERALL it was TWICE as NEGATIVE as the positive which they reported!
Oh, and on a year over year basis the PLUNGE ACCELERATED to a NEGATIVE 26.8% IS ALL! YET, look at that headline!!!
I am personally SICK OF THE BULL. LIES, SPIN, AND DISTORTIONS PILED UPON ONE ANOTHER.
I can't even view the television any more – any of it! CNBC is worse than worthless. The evening "entertainment" is nothing but complete drivel brought to you by never ending corporate interruption.
Jim Rogers - "Getting your investment advise from the Government or from T.V., you're bound to go bankrupt!"
But it's not just the business media that's gone completely over to mindless corporate drivel. It's almost every program on all 10,000+ channels! Newspapers are dead. Television, as far as I'm concerned, is dying and will follow newsprint into the abyss.
Bloomberg, who used to be a source that I considered to be better than the rest is falling prey to corporate interests and is shooting itself in the foot by running stories and headlines like the one above. Can't handle the truth? You will go the way of the dinosaur.
Oh, and here's the truth – Durable Goods Orders were DOWN 26.8% year over year. Here's the chart, does that look like the end of a recession?

An Old Hunter's Perception About Hunting Africa Today
Today's world has gone crazy. The man-in-the street is being coerced into calling the shots by the big animal rights organisations in the First World and, as a consequence, Africa's wildlife has been forced to the edge of a precipice. The governments and official wildlife departments in the West are just as much to blame for allowing this to happen, and the media are fellow travellers pushing the agenda along. The principles of wildlife management are being ignored, and so anarchy looms.
In Southern Africa our problem is not too few elephants but far too many, and they are trashing the habitats of our national parks and causing the collapse of their ecosystems. And the biological diversities of our great game reserves are shrinking daily. Some of our big game reserves are carrying 10 and 20 times too many elephants. The opportunities for elephant hunting at this time in southern Africa's history, therefore is better than it has ever been. And quite literally, the more elephants you shoot the better will the outcome be for our national parks. But the world won't see it like that and every elephant that you kill will cause you to be severely criticised back home. But your conscience and your heart should remain steadfast and pure, because what I am telling you is exactly right.
I started hunting the areas to which Carl Knight will be taking you, 50 years ago. A lot has changed since those faraway days but those places are still wild and they are still the heart of Africa; and Carl knows all about getting you into the right places for some exceptional hunting. Enjoy the hunting, and enjoy the birds and the trees and the atmosphere of Africa, because, by the end of this century, Africa's burgeoning human population will have overwhelmed everything. If you want to know what it was like to hunt big game animals in these places half a century ago, however, have a look at my website (www.ronthomsonshunting books.co.za) and take note of my big game hunting memoirs.
You will enjoy Lake Kariba when you visit Binga. There are still elephant bulls and tuskless animals roaming the teak, and some good buffaloes, in the Sijarira Forest; and you will enjoy wandering the Zambezi Valley in the shadow of the 60 mile long Chizarira mountain cliffs. Drive up the road that I built with the help of many cases of dynamite in the middle 1960s, to Manzituba on the plateau, and view the valley and the lake from 2000 feet above the valley floor. The views are extraordinary.
There are some exceptional crocodiles and big hippo bulls to be had along the lake shore. And don't forget to take a fishing rod. The bream and tiger fishing opportunities in Lake Kariba are out of this world.
I don't know too much about Matetsi at this time but, in the past, it was an area famous for its sable antelope, buffalo and elephant – and lion were always plentiful.
In the south east Lowveld of Zimbabwe – in the Gonarezhou region – elephant and buffalo are abundant; as are plains game animals like zebra, kudu, eland, nyala, wildebeest and impala. This area has always been renowned for its giant tuskers and Carl's team seem to know where to find them.
The area sandwiched between the southern Gonarezhou boundary and the Limpopo River – where you may be hunting the Malipati Safari Area and Sengwe 1 & 2 – has always been very special.
The wide riverine forest along the Limpopo always held a special fascination for me; and across the golden yellow river sands lays South Africa's Kruger National Park. Even in the old days, big elephant bulls from Kruger were forever wandering over the river into Zimbabwe – and they still do. So the chances of getting a really good elephant bull here is very good. And there are other places adjacent to Gonarezhou's western boundary – Chikombedzi, Naivaisha and Gonacudzingwa – from which have come some surprising trophies.
You are in good hands with Carl and his team; and I wish you good hunting.
In closing, I would ask you to have a look at another website (www.mahohboh.org) which will tell you all about a new NGO called The TRUE GREEN ALLIANCE (TGA). I have long ago stopped hunting Africa's big game animals not because I am too old, but because now I have a different and more exciting quarry. I have taken to hunting the Western World's animal rights NGOs and hope to hunt them into extinction. Please join the TGA and help us make that happen.
With kind regards – and Waidmann's Heil,
Ron Thomson
(Known to his Bushman trackers and the tribal people of Zimbabwe as "MAHOHBOH"!)

Calling all Developers: Meet us at Dreamforce!
Dreamforce 2014 is less than a week away and San Francisco will once again be a shining beacon for enterprise developers.
We'd love to meet as many of you as possible, so that's why, in addition to our presence at the Dreamforce Hackathon, as well as our presence on the main Cloud Expo floor, we're proud to announce our inaugural booth in the Dreamforce DevZone. We'll be on the second floor of Moscone West, right across from the Internet of Things (IoT) zone.
Why are we so excited?
Many of you may already be familiar with our Dataloader.io app, one of the most popular downloads in AppExchange. It's a free, yet powerful app to automate the importing, exporting and deletion of data in your Salesforce orgs–something thousands of people do every day. Yet until a tool like Dataloader.io came around, it was also something that had to be done manually, by the same thousands of people, every day.
What if there was a way for you to build your own "dataloader", or better yet, orchestrate and automate the processes your organization runs every day so that you can focus on essentials like results, and not process? That's where we believe we can be of use. If you drop by our DevZone booth we'll give you a quick demo of Anypoint Platform, the only complete platform for SOA, SaaS integration and APIs, which includes tools like Anypoint Studio, Mule ESB, CloudHub, and an exchange of Anypoint Connectors and Templates that are made to connect numerous application, data, or devices.
So drop by our DevZone booth next week: If you haven't secured your spot yet, register today! And don't forget that we'll also be at the Dreamforce Hackathon starting this Friday.
As always, you can follow us on Twitter @MuleDev for developer-specific updates – as well as great giveaways!

Studio-grade headphone amplifier
The Pro iCAN will for many, be used as a top-of-the-line, headphone amplifier that drives anything and everything – from CIEMs through to the most difficult to drive headphone ever made, the AKG K-1000. Further, Gain is adjustable from 0dB/9dB/18dB. The Pro iCAN can output >10V in Single-Ended mode and 20V in Balanced-mode. The 20V mode is equivalent 100W into a 4 Ohm speaker. So the Pro iCAN can drive almost any headphone into very hard-clipping (protection circuitry typically kicks in under such circumstances).
Audiophile line-stage
The Pro iCAN has at the core, a Japan Alps motorised rotary volume potentiometer. This is the '6-Track' version with 4 tracks used for a true balanced volume control. This is the litmus test for any amplifier to see if it is truly balanced, or operates internally in single-ended mode. Those using '2-Track' volume controls may offer balanced in and out, but are not true balanced designs. The Pro iCAN however is fully-balanced from beginning to end. In terms of flexibility, 3 single-ended and 1 balanced inputs and 1 balanced and 1 single-ended output, the Pro iCAN is a full-function audiophile line-stage that is at home in many expensive hi-fi systems. Its user-selectable Solid-State/Tube amplifiers remain and so are 3D Holographic˚ for Speakers and XBass˚ for ultra-fidelity home audio systems.
True Differential Balanced®
At the upper end of the headphone amplifier market, despite the best protestations of 'balanced' things are not always what they seem. This is a curious case of 'Is balance balanced?'
For headphones, it DOES make good design sense to implement a balanced topology (the possibility of higher power, increase dynamic range and lower noise etc.) It goes without saying that the balanced design should be balanced all the way through, 'end-to-end.' Read more on this here.
Tube/ Solid-State Real-time Switching
Compared to high-end headphone amplifiers, the tube stage of the Pro iCAN is different in two-ways. First, we don't use good-quality 6922s or similar. Instead we use the very best; General Electric 5670 which is the premium variant with a different pinout.
Second and just as important is the circuit design. Unlike other headphone amplifiers that have the same circuit and just switch in/out the tube section, the Pro iCAN is the very first of its kind that has two individual input circuits – one tube and one Solid-State. This results in the best sonics of both worlds because the signal path is the shortest and there is no compromise to 'shoe horn' the tubes into an already existing solid-state circuit.
For the first time, one can enjoy both the sound of Solid-State and Tubes in a single package (rather than as an 'Effect Type' add-on within an otherwise conventional solid-state design) and be able to switch in real-time. For some recordings and headphones/loudspeakers, Solid-State may sound 'more lively.'. For others, Tube and Tube+ (especially Tube+) will sound more 'luxurious.' Select the one that sounds best for that particular moment, be it the recording, the mood or even the weather. After all, enjoying music is an experience to be savoured and not a scientific research exercise.
We haven't stopped there. We are tube lovers and we appreciate sometimes there is a need for even more tube-like sound, there are two tube settings – Tube and Tube+. The Tube+ position reduces overall loop-gain and thus negative feedback to the minimum. This gives a different trade-off between the tube's natural harmonics and the transient performance.

Cigarette smoking has a causal association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchogenic carcinoma, and additionally, cigarette smoking has been attributed to the development and natural history of distinct forms of lung parenchymal disease involving interstitium.
Smoking-Related Interstitial Lung Disease (SR- ILD)
The 2013 American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society statement classified RB-ILD and DIP as smoking-related idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (SR-IIP).
RB-ILD and DIP are different entities and not two junctures in a continuum, based on their distinct clinical presentation, radiographic features, histology, response to treatment, and prognosis.
Histologically, DIP is characterized by an alveolar accumulation of macrophages followed by interstitial inflammation and fibrosis.
Even though predominantly a smoker's disease, with a reported association of close to 90%, DIP has also been associated with other exposures and disease conditions including:
It has been associated with certain infectious etiologies like Aspergillus, Hepatitis C, and Cytomegalovirus as well as with metabolic diseases like Gaucher disease.[7][8]
Although adult-onset DIP is not identified with any genetic defects, DIP in children is a distinct clinical entity with a demonstrated genetic mutation in surfactant protein B and C causing dysfunction. It usually portends a poorer prognosis.
In 1965, Liebow et al. first reported about this disease, and due to their interpretation of large cells within alveolar spaces as desquamated epithelial cells from lining walls, named it desquamative interstitial pneumonia.[9] This name has since been proved to be a misnomer, as those cells have been identified as macrophages within air spaces.
The original authors also did not report the distinctive association with smoking which was first highlighted by Carrington et al. in 1978.[10][11] The most common age of onset is between 40 to 60 years with a reported 2 to1 male to female predominance. The prevalence of smoking among patients is reported anywhere between 60% to 87%.[12][13][3] Craig and Tubbs et al. independently reported about a 40% prevalence of nonsmokers in their cohorts.[3]
Respiratory bronchiolitis (RB) primarily involves macrophage accumulation in respiratory bronchioles in response to smoking. That subsequently incites interstitial inflammation and fibrosis in a time sensitive manner. The characteristic findings of pigmented macrophages, therefore, have a distinct bronchiolocentric distribution with centrilobular ground-glass opacities in chest imaging.
As opposed to RB or RBILD, macrophage accumulation in DIP is extensive, diffuse, and uniform within alveolar spaces. The extensive alveolar infiltration of macrophages renders them an eosinophilic stain due to the abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm of the macrophages. Alveolar macrophages often contain a distinct light brown pigmentation that does not stain for hemosiderin and is known conventionally as "smoker's pigment," the corresponding macrophages known as "smoker's macrophages." Macrophages of marijuana smoker with DIP tend to have a characteristic smaller golden brown particulate material.[2] In addition, alveolar septa are infiltrated by lymphocytic conglomerates or lymphoid follicles, and even eosinophils. Radiologically, cystic spaces may be present in areas of ground glass opacities. Those small cystic air spaces seen in chest imaging in DIP have been shown to correlate histologically with dilated alveolar ducts and bronchiectasis. [14]
Overall alveolar architecture is well preserved, but focal interstitial thickening and inflammatory changes are quite common. Toward late-stage disease, production of transforming growth factor beta-1 results in fibrosis around alveolar interstitium. Unlike usual interstitial pneumonia, however, fibroblastic foci are almost never seen. Multinucleated giant cells are also often reported.
An overlap of clinical and histopathological features are common among smoking-related interstitial pneumonia. A clinical, radiological, and pathological consensus during the period of longitudinal follow up, therefore, becomes necessary to characterize a specific form of SR-ILD and pursue appropriate treatment.
Individuals with a history of relevant exposure to cigarettes, inhalational drugs of abuse, and occupational risk factors commonly present with a dry cough and exercise-induced shortness of breath. Although childhood disease has been rarely reported as mentioned above, the most common age of presentation is 40 to 60 years.[10] There is a male predominance in the prevalence of this disease, consistent with its correlation with exposures.
Less than 10% of patients are asymptomatic at diagnosis. Symptoms are however nonspecific including dyspnea on exertion (90%), persistent cough (70%), with or without sputum production (about 40%). Hemoptysis is very rare.[1][15]
Clinical examination reveals clubbing in 50% of patients, along with coarse rales in bilateral bases.
Peripheral blood may reveal an increase in neutrophil and eosinophil count.
Pulmonary function tests show a restrictive defect, with impaired diffusion capacity unlike usual obstructive pattern in respiratory bronchiolitis.
Chest x-ray may show a reticulonodular infiltrate in lower lung zones but appears fairly subtle and nonspecific. They are reported to be normal in 3% to 22% of biopsy-proven cases.
High-resolution CT chest is the imaging modality of choice. It shows diffuse bilateral lower lobe predominant ground glass changes in a homogenous distribution, and without honeycombing- the last two features distinguishing it from usual interstitial pneumonia or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In progressive disease, cysts and traction bronchiectasis may be seen, but it is not exclusively subpleural. Fibrosis is not as common as in NSIP or UIP.
However advanced DIP is reported to be indistinguishable from NSIP with a temporally uniform pattern of fibrosis beyond the initial accumulation of alveolar macrophages. Sugiyama et al reported that late-stage association at 30%.[16]
Unlike other inhalational lung diseases, the ground glass infiltrates in DIP are more predominant in lower lung zones.
Interestingly in a study reported by Cartier et al., radiologists' diagnosis of DIP based on HRCT was histologically proven in only 59% of cases, emphasizing once again the need for a clinical, radiological, and histological consensus.[17]
Transbronchial biopsy may not yield representative tissue section and have been reported to provide findings consistent with organizing pneumonia in early disease or fibrotic disease in later stages.
A surgical lung biopsy is the gold standard of diagnosis.
In recent years, transbronchial cryobiopsy is being explored as an alternative diagnostic approach with an increase in sample size by non-invasive means.[18]
Studies have shown time and again that considerable overlap exists between RB-ILD and DIP and features of both may be present in differing sections of biopsy.[19][20][5] However radiological manifestations in the entire lung field, as well as PFT abnormalities, are markedly different between the two.
The most important intervention after diagnosis is smoking cessation. Similarly if associated with specific occupational exposures, avoidance of exposure is also key to preventing disease progression.
Systemic corticosteroid therapy over months has been reported as the most effective pharmacologic intervention. With corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy (azathioprine being the most commonly used agent), most patients remain stable or improve with reports of even complete recovery.[21][22] However, in separate publications, both Aubry et al. and Kawabata et al. showed that about 25% of patients might continue to progress in spite of corticosteroid therapy, resulting in pulmonary fibrosis.[23][24] In patients refractory to steroids, there have been reports of successful use of clarithromycin.[25]
There are isolated case reports of the use of azathioprine and cyclophosphamide to treat acute respiratory failure due to DIP. Finally, with progressive and severe lung disease causing hypoxemia, pulmonary hypertension, severe reduction in TLC or DLCO, lung transplantation evaluation is indicated[1][26]; although, there are reports of recurrence of DIP post lung transplantation.
Other smoking-related idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, such as respiratory bronchiolitis-interstitial lung disease.
Other idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, such as the following:
The overall survival is 70% to 88% after 10 years.[10][27]
Mortality of DIP ranges anywhere between 6% to 28%.[10][21] Although spontaneous improvement has been reported, two-thirds of DIP patients have a progression of disease if left untreated. In a study by Aubry et al., 25% of patients continued to have progressive disease despite corticosteroid therapy.[24]
There are not many longitudinal studies characterizing the rate of disease progression. In one such study, Remy-Jardin et al. reported that ground glass changes, emphysema, and centrilobular nodules increased from 28% to 42%, 26% to 40%, and 33% to 35%, respectively, in current smokers during a mean follow-up period of 5.5 years.[28] In a radiological follow up of DIP in a small group of 14 patients, cysts were found to increase along with new appearance of honeycombing in 35%.[23] This included patients on systemic corticosteroid therapy. Ten-year survival rates are reported at around 70%.[29]
Continuation of smoking certainly is associated with a poorer outcome.[27][30]
Children with DIP tend to have a poorer prognosis, particularly for those with ABCA3 mutations.[31][32][33]
Acute interstitial pneumonitis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage have also been reported as acute complications of the disease.[34] Particularly there have been reported cases of acute exacerbations after diagnostic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.[35][36]
There is also opinion regarding the progression of DIP into the domain of fibrotic NSIP in advanced stages as far as histopathological features are concerned. Prognosis nevertheless, is better in this group of disease than either NSIP or UIP.
Incidence and prevalence of desquamative interstitial pneumonia are so rare across the population that large population-based randomized controlled trials are not available to guide management and outcomes.
Nevertheless, association with cigarette and marijuana smoking, as well as certain occupational exposures have been proved unequivocally. Once diagnosed; therefore, discontinuation of exposure becomes the single most important intervention, as reiterated by the 2013 American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society statement.[37]
As mentioned above, considerable overlap exists between smoking-related interstitial lung diseases like RB, RBILD, DIP and even non-specific interstitial pneumonia. Mixed histopathological features are often reported. A combined clinical, radiological, and histopathological approach to diagnosis as well as a longitudinal follow up becomes necessary to distinguish each of the entities. Prognosis varies between RBILD, DIP, and NSIP in worsening order, and therefore the establishment of a diagnosis early on helps in intervening appropriately and addressing prognosis with patient and families. Mortality is almost never reported for RBILD with disease regression over a period of 30 years from smoking cessation, while DIP has a reported mortality rate of 6% to 28% with disease progression occasionally even on treatment and smoking cessation.
If there is no contraindication, severe disease with activity-induced hypoxemia, pulmonary hypertension, and severe impairment of pulmonary function (DIP or NSIP), should be referred to in the advanced stage for pulmonary transplantation.[38]

Modelling Written Communication
A New Systems Approach to Modelling in the Social Sciences

Part of the Methodos Series book series (METH, volume 8)
Part of the Methodos Series book series (METH, volume 8)
This book offers an alternative view to current postmodern approaches to composition. It takes a critical realist stance to arrive at the "essence" of written communication with the aim of informing a practical application: a computerised writing tutor. Following Robert Franck's seminal work on modelling, a theoretical model of writing was first formulated, consisting of an architecture of functions which constitute the prerequisites for effective communication. Next, an applied model - a composing algorithm with an input option - was developed, showing composing to be a systemic social process with intra- and extra-systemic variation. The algorithm provided the design template for a writing tutor program which models for the learner both the systemic and the socially situated nature of writing. This book establishes composing as a communicative interaction, and shows the essential dynamism of writing, while offering an exemplar of a systems approach to modelling in the social sciences.
