Flashcards in Glossary of terms Deck (98):
Define eyelid agenesis
= uncommon birth defect, mostly found in cats. Eyelid doesn't form properly leaving exposed eyeball and the eye can't be properly hydrated.
Dermoid (conjunctival/ corneal)
= presence of aberrant tissue containing skin, may occur as a result of abnormal differentiation of an isolated group of cells or inclusion of surface ectoderm during closure of fetal clefts. May affect limbus, cornea, conjunctiva and eyelids.
Define PPM
) = a defect of the anterior segment, remnants of the anterior tunica vasculosa lentis and pupillary membrane, which provide nutrition to the eye during development. Start regressing in utero, usually disappear by 6 weeks old. Basenjis predisposed.
Define cataracts
= autosomal recessive inherited in Miniature Schnauzer. Bilateral, usually symmetrical, usually lens nucleus affected, occasionally cortex. Non-inherited types exist and are thought to arise from in utero insults. Usually associated with other ocular abnormalities (e.g. PPM).
Define retinal dysplasia
= abnormal retinal differentiation with disorderly proliferation and disorganization of the retinal layers. Usually primary genetic disorder in dogs. Can arise spontaneously or from external insults.
Define enopthalmos
= globe has an abnormal posterior position within orbit. 'Normal' in dolocephalic breeds. Usually just an aesthetic issue.
Define exopthalmos
= normally sized eye pushed forward by retrobulbar SOL or shallow orbits (brachycephalics) lead to protrusion of eyeball in orbit.
Define Buphthalmos (sometimes referred to as hydrophthalmia)
= globe enlargement, occurs due to pressure-induced stretching of the ocular tunics. Often marked and relatively rapid in young animals (less rigid globes than adults). When signs present, animal is usually blind. Differentiate from exophthalmos.
List 3 different retrobullar diseases
Extraocular polymyositis
Define blepharospasm
= rapid blinking of the eye due to involuntary contractions of the orbicularis oculi muscle of the eyelid. It is rapid and the eye may appear closed.
Define blepharitis
= inflammation of the eyelids. Local to glandular structures in eyelid or part of generalized skin disease or systemic disease.
Define trichiasis
= presence of normally located but abnormally directed hairs which contact and irritate the ocular surface. Misdirected hairs can arise from multiple locations.
Define distichiasis
= where an eyelash protrudes from or adjacent to the meibomian gland, can be single, usually numerous, not an extra line of eyelashes as the name suggests
Define ectopic cilium
= usually 1 hair in one location, often the central upper eyelid on the conjunctival side of the eyelid (differentiates it from distichiasis where the hairs emerge on the non-conjunctival side of the eyelid).
Define entropion
= inversion of all or parts of the eyelid margin(s) eyelid hairs are in direct contact with the cornea irritation and corneal pathology. Classified as breed-related/anatomical, spastic, atonic/senile or cicatricial entropion.
Define ectropion
= eversion of the eyelid, common in dogs, usually breed-related (breeds with overlong eyelid and lazity of lateral canthus). Causes increases conjunctival exposure and collection of debris in the lower conjunctival sac, as well as poor tear film distribution over the corneal surface conjunctivitis and increased mucin production.
Define ptosis
= drooping of the upper eyelid, Can result from oculomotor nerve lesions or sympathetic denervation of the eye.
How do you do entropion correction
(simple Hotz-Celsus procedure/ aka Celsus-Hotz) = this is for treatment of entropion in adults (young animal entropion can correct itself so surgery should be delayed until at least 5-12 months old). This is a skin or skin-muscle resection in which an ellipse of skin and/or underlying muscle is removed corresponding to the degree of in-turning.
Define epiphora
(overflow vs NSLD blockage) = excessive watering of the eye
Define KCS (quantitative dry eye)
= reduction in tear production causes increasing corneal inflammation and, ultimately, permanent damage that may prove blinding. Typically a tacky mucopurulent ocular discharge that is adherent to the corneal surface in strings, and recurrent conjunctivitis with or without corneal ulceration that is slow to heal are classic signs.
Define qualitative dry eye
= a type of dry eye (KCS), where there is excessive tear evaporation and is the result of inadequate production of the lipid layer. In contrast, quantitative dry eye is where there is deficient production of the aqueous portion of the lipid film.
Define NSLD blockage
secondary to FB (grass seed awns) in nasolacrimal system is relatively common in dogs. May also occur secondary to granuloma/inflammation in lacrimal sac or canaliculi.
Describe nasolacrimal duct flushing
= may dislodge a FB into the punctum, allowing it to be removed, but incision into the lacrimal sac or nasolacrimal duct may be required.
Define dacryocystitis
= inflammation of the nasolacrimal drainage system, you see mucoid to mucopurulent ocular discharge from lacrimal puncta.
Define hyperemia
= redness caused by the vasodilation of the conjunctival BVs against the white scleral background.
Define chemosis
= conjunctival oedema
Define follicular conjunctivitis
= a type of conjunctivitis, the follicular type is a non-specific reaction to chronic conjunctivitis and is easily recognized by appearance of nodule-like structures outlined by conjunctival capillaries on the conjunctival surface. May resemble vesicle but aren't fluid filled and instead consist of lymphoid tissue.
Describe prolapsed gland of the TE (cherry eye)
= protrusion of the nictitans gland over the free border of the 3rd eyelid is the characteristic appearance. May be caused by inherent instability of CT which anchors gland at base to third eyelid or a direct consequence of chronic glandular hypertrophy. The prolapsed gland becomes reddened and unsightly.
Describe TE cartilage
= where the cartilage is abnormally kinked, usually in the vicinity of the upper part of the T. Results in eversion or inversion (less commonly) of the 3rd eyelid. Unsightly appearance and functional mobility of 3rd eyelid may be impaired. Developmental in some large dog breeds.
What is another name for LPI of the TE?

= an immune-mediated disease of unclear pathogenesis. Painless, generally bilateral thickening of third eyelid with depigmentation of the usually pigmented margin and nodular pink-tan cellular infiltrates (predominantly plasma cells with some lymphocytes).
Describe corneal oedema
= indicative of corneal damage. Not uncommon in horses where it may be primary/dystrophic but is more likely to be secondary to various ocular insults.
Define SCCEDs. What is another name for it?
Spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects, previously known as Boxer ulcers and indolent ulcers
Describe SCCEDs
= superficial ulcers that are characterized by a lip of loose epithelium surrounding a denuded superficial stroma.
Describe melting cornea/collagenolysis
= develops as a complication of an existing corneal ulcer rather than as a primary corneal condition. It may occur at any time during ulcer healing and can progress to corneal perforation within hours. Not always possible to determine why it occurs.
Describe Descemetocoele
Descemetocele = exposure of Descemet's membrane when an ulcerative processs erodes through all the overlying corneal epithelium and stroma. May lie flit deep in bed of ulcer or may bulge anteriorly. Do not take up fluorescein.
Describe corneal perforation
= may occur in advanced corneal ulcers, may develop on the corneal surface allowing drainage of the intraocular contents.
Describe iris prolapse
= the iris tends to prolapse out of its held position in the ciliary body when there is a corneal wound. Iris prolapse occurs when the iris tissue is observed outside of the wound; iris incarceration occurs when the iris tissue reaches the wound without prolapsing outside the eye.
Describe Feline Herpes Keratitis (FHV-1)
= in addition to feline URT disease, this is a very common cause of conjunctivitis, and ulcerative and non-ulcerative keratitis in cats. Virus replicates in epithelial cells of cornea, destroys them and causes linear, branching superficial ulcers accompanied by conjunctivitis and signs of ocular pain.
Define sympblepharon
= more common in cats than dogs, develops when destruction of the epithelium of the conjunctiva and cornea allows stroma to stroma contact between the two tissues. Often leads to failure of normal corneal re-epithelialisation and corneal conjunctivalisation. Associated with FHV-1 in cats.
Describe corneal sequestrum
= starts as a faint amber discolouration of corneal stroma, most cases is not associated with discomfort, vascularization or ulcerative disease. Sequestra progress over a widely variable amount of time to a darker and potentially larger and deeper plaque of denatured cornea, which elicits a vascular response and is often associated with loss of overlying epithelium and signs of ocular pain.
What is another name for corneal LPI?
(Lymphocytic-Plasmacytic Infiltrate, aka corneal Pannus) of dogs
Describe corneal LPI of dogs
= an immune-mediated condition of dogs, certain breeds predisposed. Predisposed by UV light, altitude and smoke.
Describe Eosinophilic Keratitis (keratoconjunctivitis) of cats
= immune mediated KCS is not recognized in cats. Instead usually caused by FHV-1 infectioun which has a tropism for conjunctival epithelium and its cytopathic effect can cause conjunctival swelling and ulceration.
Describe lipid keratopathy
= deposition of lipid within the cornea of one or both eyes, secondary to other diseases. Variable appearance. Vascularisation is a constant feature.
What is another name for calcium keratopathy?
Calcium degeneration
Describe calcium keratopathy/ calcium degeneration
= primary or secondary to systemic disease (especially elderly animals). The corneal infiltrate is usually associated with corneal vascularization. May be difficult to distinguish from lipid deposition.
Define meaning of CST
Corneoscleral transposition aka conjunctival pedicle grafting and corneolimboconjunctival transposition
What is corneal grafting?
= a reconstructive technique where the corneal section of the graft is placed directly over the lesion, thus replacing lost corneal stroma with autologous corneal tissue rather than conjunctiva. Advantage of providing a relatively clear ulcer so may be more suitable for ulcers affecting visual axis.
Define uveitis (anterior/posterior and phacolytic)
= inflammation of any part of the uvea. Can be localized to the iris (iritis), ciliary body (cyclitis), pars plana (pars planitis) or choroid (choroiditis). Due to continuity of uvea structures, anterior uveitis is iridocyclitis and posterior uveitis is chorioretinitis are more commonly used. This categorization helps narrow down Ddx. Phacolytic uveitis refers to lens-induced uveitis and is very common in cataractous eyes and should be suspected in all eyes with cataracts that show signs of redness and inflammation.
What is an anterior synechia?
= adherence of the iris to the cornea, typically caused by perforating corneal trauma and incarceration of iris in the wound and thus span from the pupil margin towards a full-thickness scar.
What is a posterior synechia?
= adherence of the iris to the anterior lens capsule, initially form as a result of fibrinous adhesions between the iris and lens and/or anterior uveitis.
Define iris bombe
= complete adhesion between the iris and the capsule of the lens of the eye creating a 360 degree area of adhesion. This results in a billowing of the iris forward into the eye. Cats and dogs. It occurs when 360-degree posterior synechiae prevent flow of aqueous through the pupil.
Define aqueous flare. What is another name for it?
= protein rich aqueous scatters light (Tyndall effect), and aqueous flare is best appreciated in the dark with a narrow slit beam and magnification.
Define hypopion
= WBC infiltrates, commonly sterile, are most commonly associated with deep corneal ulceration and uveitis. It is usually whitish in colour and located in the ventral aspect of the anterior chamber. Ddx lipaemic aqueous and anterior chamber infiltration by neoplastic cells.
Define hyphema
= haemorrhage in the anterior chamber, not uncommon, important to establish the cause.
Define miosis
Excessive pupil constriction
Define photophobia
light sensitiviity
Define mydriasis
pupil dilation
Define dyscoria
abnormality in shape or form of the pupil or in the reaction of the 2 pupils
Define anisocoria
= the size of the pupils represents a dynamic equilibrium between the PNS (responds to amount of light entering eye) and the SNS (responds to emotional state of the animal).
What is an anterior uveal cyst?
= cysts of the iris and ciliary body. In dogs, they usually are free-floating, pigmented spheres in the aqueous humor within the pupil and anterior and posterior chambers.
Define cystic granula iridica of horses
= these are thought to be acquired but the cause is not known and they do not appear to be associated with uveitis
What is another name for iris melanocytoma of dogs and cats?
= one of the commonest intraocular neoplasms in cats (feline diffuse iris melanoma = FDIM). Lesions may start with focal or multifocal iridal hyperpigemented spots that gradually enlarge or spread. Locally alter the normal surface architecture of the iris or my azquire a slightly raised velvety surface and cause pupil abnormalities. In dogs, they usually are benign and affect older animals. Most common intraocular neoplasia. Little tendency to metastasize. Tend to be locally destructive uveitis and glaucoma.
What is the iridocorneal angle (ICA)?
= outflow tract of aqueous humor, ultimately reaches veins. It's a 360 degree structure between iris and cornea. The uveoscleral/unconventional outflow tract is very important for outflow in the horse.
Define glaucoma
= a consequence of abnormally high and usually sustained increase in IOP. It is sufficient to damage the eye and vision and the underlying abnormality is often defective aqueous drainage. Many causes so should be thought of as a group of conditions.
Define primary glaucoma
= where there is no other recognized antecedent ocular disease process, thought to be hereditary. Invariably a bilateral condition, although eyes not usually affected simultaneously. Two forms – that associated with abnormal drainage angle development and open angle.
Define Secondary glaucoma (lens luxation, uveitis, neoplasia)
= abnormal elevation of IOP associated with recognizable antecedent or concurrent eye disease. May be unilateral. Some types (primary lens luxation) are breed-associated, others aren't.
What are Haab's striae?
= these are grey streaks that appear in the cornea in glaucoma due to breaks in Descemet's membrane caused by stretching of the cornea.
Define nuclear sclerosis
= a normal feature of ageing that affects the nucleus of the lens. The lens appears grey on naked eye examination and with DDO refractive rings at the nuclearcortical interface can be clearly delineated. Ddx from true opacities of cataract in which lens opacities appear as black silhouettes with DDO.
What is lens luxation and subluxation?
= Luxation is when the lens becomes detached, subluxation is when the lens becomes loosened. Primary lens luxation (PLL) is the commonest cause of secondary glaucoma in the dog. It may also luxate as a complication of other types of glaucoma. Terriers are susceptible to PLL. In cats it may follow chronic uveitis, trauma or be secondary to globe enlargement with chronic glaucoma. In horses it is usually caused by trauma or severe inflammation.
Define akaphic crescent
= this is pathognomic for zonular disruption and subluxation of the lens
Define pseudophakic eye
= a condition in which an aphakic eye has been fitted with an intraocular lens to replace the crystalline lens.
Define phacodenesis. How is this different from iridodonesis
= phacodonesis is subtle lens trembling movement when the globe moves. Iridodonesis is subtle iris trembling movement when the globe moves.
Distinguish the cataract types (incipient/ immature, mature and hypermature)
= an incipient cataract involves
Describe traumatic lens rupture
= damage can be seen by capsular tears and leakage of lens material. Perforation is best detected looking at AC with magnified light from the side. It can result in various early-onset sight-threatening and painful complications refer quickly.
Describe diabetic lens rupture
= Spontaneous lens capsule rupture associated with DM, cataract and rapid lens intumescence occurs in the dog. The development of diabetic cataracts is closely related to the increased levels of blood glucose and subsequently increased glucose levels in the aqueous humour and lens. Glucose is metabolised in the lens via an anaerobic pathway, catalysed by an enzyme called hexokinase.
However, in the presence of large amounts of glucose, this pathway gets saturated and glucose is converted into sorbitol instead by means of an alternative pathway involving the aldose reductase enzyme. This results in build-up of sorbitol inside the lens. Sorbitol is hygroscopic and creates osmotic forces that draw water from the aqueous humour into the lens, resulting in swelling and rupture of lens fibres, visible as cataract formation.
Define syneresis
= vitreous liquefaction, a form of vitreal degeneration.
Define asteroid hyalosis
= suspended calcium phospholipid, a form of vitreal degeneration.
Define retinal detachment (bullous)
= the neurosensory retina is only firmly attached at the ONH and the ora ciliaris retinae, between these points the attachment is relatively weak, relying on the close apposition between the photoreceptors and the microvillous processes of the underlying RRE and the support of the vitreous. Thus, the detachment almost always reflects separation of the neurosensory retina from the RPE, rather than detachment of the entire retina from the posterior globe. Classified according to the extent of retinal involvement as focal, multifocal or total. Various causes, congenital possible.
Define PRA/GPRA
= (Generalised) Progressive Retinal Atrophy = important cause of inherited blindness in pedigree dogs. GPRA is a borad term encompassing range of disease in which the rod and/or cone photoreceptors either fail to develop normally (photoreceptor dysplasia) or degenerate prematurely following normal postnatal photoreceptor maturation (photoreceptor dystrophy or degeneration). Very heterogenous but most have bilarteral degeneration of the neurosensory retina with gradual loss of vision complete blindness.
What does SARDs mean?
Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome
What does IMR mean?
Immune Mediated Retinopathy
What is SARDS and IMR?
= a canine syndrome of middle-aged and older dogs, in which acute onset of blindness is associated with a complete absence of photoreceptor activity in the ERG. Vision is usually within a few days or at most within a few weeks of the owner noticing the dog becoming visually impaired. Dogs of either sex are affected, although animals are often obese or have a recent hx of weight gain. It may encompass a spectrum of retinopathies.
Define nyctalopia
= loss of night vision, one of the first signs of degeneration of the outer retina (commonly known as PRA).
Define hemeralopia
= the central form of PRA where there is pigment accumulation on the retina and the decay of cone cells. Poor vision when bright light, better vision in dimmer situations.
What does ERG stand for?
What is ERG used for?
= a technique used to diagnose various retinal diseases. It measures the electrical responses of various cells in the retina including the light sensitive cells (rods and cones) and ganglions. Electrodes are placed on the cornea and the skin near the eye. During a recording, the patient is anaesthetised or sedated and facing a standardised light stimulus. The resulting signal is interpreted in terms of its amplitude (voltage) and time course.

Court clears way for trial of young man accused of raping teen girl
The High Court has cleared the way for the trial of young man accused of raping a teenage girl.
The man, who cannot be identified, had sought an order preventing his prosecution from going ahead on grounds there had been delay in the investigation into the allegations. There was also a delay in the State making the decision to prosecute him before the Central Criminal Court, it was argued.
These delays, the young man claimed, meant he was not brought to trial before his 18th birthday meaning he lost a number of protections he would have enjoyed under the 2001 Children's Act had his case come to trial before he turned 18 years of age.
The alleged rape is said to have occurred shortly before the young man turned 17 years of age, and when the complainant was 16 years of age.
Mr Justice Max Barrett dismissed his application after finding there was no culpable delay in the investigation or in the decision to prosecute the applicant.
The Judge his lawyers claimed that initially the investigation into the complaint had progressed in a timely fashion after the complaint was made to the Gardai.
However it was claimed that there was a culpable delay of 10 months in the advancement of the investigation up to the point in April 2017 when the male turned 18 years of age.
In his ruling the Judge said that If there was any delay in the matter it could be limited to a number of months "that could be counted on one hand."
He added that given all the circumstances surrounding the allegations the criminal justice system could not have investigated the matter before the accused turned 18 years of age.

- How Decisions Regarding Custody and Visitation are Made in Delaware
- December 6, 2017 | Author: Leslie B. Spoltore
- Law Firm: Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP - Wilmington Office
Family Court judges are charged with making custody and visitation decisions regarding Delaware's children. In each case brought before the judge, he or she sets custodial and residential arrangements in accordance with the best interests of the child. But what does that consideration entail?
The presiding judge is required to consider all relevant factors, including eight specifically enumerated factors set forth in Section 722 of Title 13 of the Delaware Code. The enumerated factors are:
1. The wishes of the child's parent or parents as to his or her custody and residential arrangements
2. The wishes of the child as to his or her custodian or custodians and residential arrangements
3. The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his or her parents, grandparents, siblings, persons cohabiting in the relationship of husband and wife with a parent of the child, any other residents of the household or persons who may significantly affect the child's best interests
4. The child's adjustment to his or her home, school and community
5. The mental and physical health of all individuals involved
6. Past and present compliance by both parents with their rights and responsibilities to their child
7. Evidence of domestic violence as provided for in Chapter 7A of this title
8. The criminal history of any party or any other resident of the household including whether the criminal history contains pleas of guilty or no contest or a conviction of a criminal offenseWhile these factors must all be considered in each case, the judge is not required to give each factor equal weight. Rather, as the Delaware Supreme Court held in Fisher v. Fisher, 691 A.2d 619, the best interests factors are to be balanced in accordance with the factual circumstances of the evidence presented to the Family Court.

Last summer, Kate Douglass qualified for the 2016 US Olympic Team Trials in swimming - at age 13.
"She probably started swimming competitively at about six-years-old, and she had a knack for it," said her mother, Allison Douglass, who lives in New York. "Now she's 14, a freshman in high school and she's training seven days a week. We fly all over the country for various meets."
As thrilled as she is for her daughter's success, being a parent of an elite swimmer requires a full family commitment. There are expenses for coaching and travel, the time spent on swim competitions and practice, and then there's the fact that she's not an only child.
"She's the oldest of three kids, and I don't feel like her brother and sister should have to suffer," Douglass said. "I would never make them sit through a five-hour swim meet, so it's a lot of split time where I'm at a meet and my husband is with the other two."

In the family-entertainment tradition of his multi-talented father Michael Landon, writer/director Michael Landon Jr. offered this made-for-cable frontier drama, adapted from a novel by Janet Oke. En route to her new home in the West, Marty Claridge (Katherine Heigl) suddenly finds herself a widow, with no roof over her head or means to support herself. At the gentle prodding of her settler friends Ben and Sarah Graham (Corbin Bernsen, Theresa Russell), Marty accepts the marriage proposal of taciturn widower Clark Davis (Dale Midkiff). It is strictly a business arrangement, with no romance or cohabitation involved; Marty will act as housekeeper to Davis and as teacher and surrogate mother for Clark's sullen nine-year-old daughter Missy (Skye McCole Bartusiak), and in return she will receive food and lodging. Pragmatists both, Marty and Clark assume that they will dissolve their marriage of convenience when the spring thaw comes...but that isn't how things turn out. Love Comes Softly first aired April 13, 2003, on the Hallmark Channel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Public speaking capacity is just reminiscent of any other track record in that the more success that you have, most of the more self-confidence to public speaking that you develop. Usually the more failures, or perceived failures, that most you experience, that this more public discussing fear that anyone are going and experience. The anxiety or anxiety that many you feel when you present is without question normal, but experiencing that public discussing fear for the rest of our life definitely actually. http://smartinspirasi.com/7-strategi-menjadi-pembicara-publik-yang-lebih-baik/
Where will do Public Speaking Fear Come From?
Think dealing with any skill that somebody have developed in very own life. For the purpose of instance, didn't can be bought out with regards to the uterus knowing tips about how to bicycle a bike, drive virtually any car, enjoy a musical show instrument, or work your personal iPhone. Your first a little time that your site tried whichever of a lot of these activities, the customer probably experienced some range of pain and discomfort or tension. The element to gaining self-confidence near these, and even any skill, is to have lots of type pertaining to success where you grow. If the early portions of that skill structure are wrought with failures, though, usually the self-confidence will certainly diminish. As for instance, and if someone in which had definitely driven one car until today gets next to the tire of an actual car what by him or herself or herself (no music teacher or coach), then many is a single good chance that this first see is no longer going for go very well. If the extremely first attempt which will drive typically is on an absolute freeway, it's possible that that fear, just just like public consulting fear, may going to help you be considerable. At the entire end of the drive, the student might tell him something like, "I never, ever, would need to dealings that ever again!" If a suitable boss makes the personal to make an effort the skill-set years later, that suspect is growing to enhance.
Public Speaking Skill should be Developed by Success
A more appropriate way in order to learn another skill is regarded as to get going with some thing less costly. In which the car example above, a great deal of people starting point in a new parking huge amount with a definite parent in addition a coach bus. Once the confidence increase a little, then the new car driver might move around to manufacturing right-hand plays around a complete neighborhood. Then you should move in the market to left-turns. That is when maybe end up being into virtually any higher web site visitors area. Your current freeway is considered to be last. Assuming you should be trying to develop public speaking skills and drop public language fear, it's possible you'll want in which to take a similar visit.
Start with something substantially risky similar to speaking mass popularity at that staff meeting. Most people or officers want input on helpful hints or crises during individuals meetings. Progress a habit of engaging up in least once during these discussions. Next, volunteer in order to give a particular report forward a at the particular staff appointment. Once you get added comfortable together with these kind of public speaking opportunities, try one thing more risky. Maybe ask questions available as an guest visitors member in about a bigger presentation. Head that quite frankly as when you been seeking more refined things living in learning regarding drive, on every place you trained more nervousness, when someone got to the freeway, the parks lot couldn't help but feel really free from harm. The same thing could very well happen featuring public covert fear. Due to the fact you get into to experience more irritating presentations, the most important easier demonstrations become also nature.
A The community Speaking Condition can Full acceleration Up Your personal Confidence Growth
Just most notably the parent or educate who been teaching you step-by-step how in order to drive a great car, this good client speaking discipline can shave a lot of energy off your learning blackberry curve. For instance, if you went all through the auto parking lot for your principal driving experience, it might probably take you a whilst to educate yourself how to be able to park as it should be. The tough part undoubtedly be in which you would have very little shape of referral to compare your capacity with, as you may not know when your are getting a fantastic job. Which experts state questioning where it you most likely have present in the back of their mind may possibly cause nervousness. One amongst the a good number of important aspects of tuition is organizing someone describe you when you did the credential correctly. By using the way, you might not have into go released and look for a industrial business tour bus or publicly traded speaking expert. Just have a look for a friend or relative who most people think gift ideas very you know in frontage of your own group and in addition ask that person to make sure you watch your and give you reaction. A big amount of toasting clubs consumption this range of instructing.
If your personal time is really short, though, you could possibly want to make sure you hire a professional coach. A proper public babbling coach has the capability to help you can develop customer speaking ability in a day or two that a majority of would undertake most citizens years which can develop as well as , keep you from developing bad designs. For instance, when I was from my twenties, I popular to master how you can play the game. I was first broke, nevertheless I ordered some low price second-hand are very important and went down to successfully the city golf category. After an important few months, I made pretty good, but I had a real terrible piece which impaired my long distance quite a suitable bit. when I played with friends, I was considered always more or three strokes behind them the workforce. Eventually, My family and i just figured that that world of golf wasn't my game, plus I closed playing. Lengthy later, My husband and i tried taking it spinal up and in addition went with regard to a golf-pro near our house. I actually asked dad how long it would take me and my peers to become competitive. So he said, "Well, if a had are available to people in each of our beginning, a not too many months, just now, it truly is going on to be much more harder." when I welcomed him why, he detailed to me that while of my current slice, My wife and i had constructed a habit of making my body differently to correct symptom. While i knew my personal ball getting going to drift, so, over some of the years, My spouse just changed my targeting point. This body encountered become used to which experts state swing, in which I had to unlearn that habit before I've could re-learn a a lot of proper shot.

Despite what Beethoven expressed about the vulgarity of Mozart's Don Giovanni, he kept sketches of the music in his notebooks. And whether it is Mozart or the Don who seduces us, we are always taken to more dangerous places by good performances. We prefer to be left in such places, and like productions which omit the anticlimactic, didactic, moralizing final ensemble. To see the rake punished and be left with that image is unsurpassed as theater. It's a good idea to get an aisle seat so you can dash for the exit as the flames of conflagration smolder.
The BU Opera Institute will give the dissolute rake another moment to prance upon the boards. Having seen many of BU's opera productions over the years, and having found them of consistently rewarding quality, we are happy to point readers to their upcoming production.
The School of Music Opera Institute and the School of Theatre at Boston University College of Fine Arts present Don Giovanni, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's tale of seduction and abandonment — April 17-20, 2014. Their press release follows.
A classic story originally set in 18th Century Seville, Spain, BU School of Theater and School of Music Opera Institute bring an evolved Don Giovanni into a contemporary dynamic space to tell this story. "The set is modern, the clothes are modern, and the attitudes are more modern than the era in which Moliere wrote his play or Mozart and DaPonte wrote their opera," says Daniel Pelzig, Stage Director.
In the classic opera, Don Giovanni, with more than two thousand seductions behind him and no end in sight, becomes increasingly reckless as he descends into excess and immortality. But when his antics turn fatal and unrepentant, the women he has discarded seek revenge and it is ultimately served up by a hellish supernatural force.
"While Don Juan may meet his end, the tale itself seems eternal," added Deborah Burton, Assistant Professor of Music at Boston University College of Fine Arts. "Whether it is the latest film takeoff (like 2013's Don Jon) or an updated operatic performance, the echoes of the old story still resonate."
"Seeing that the Opera Institute is a company of young and energetic singers, I only thought it appropriate to approach the opera with a youthful vibrancy and Gen-X edginess," added Pelzig
"As we celebrate this year's Keyword Transformation, we rededicate ourselves as performances, teachers, creators, and citizens to share the transformative power of art," says William Lumpkin, Artistic Director of the Boston University Opera Institute. "Although the artistic journey is never complete, we proudly recognized this opportunity to proclaim the substance of this next generation of artists who will continue to transform the world."
Transformation is marked by metamorphosis, or a process of profound or radical change.
"It is through the process that we think, engage, and find solutions," said Benjamín Juárez, Dean, College of Fine Arts, Boston University. "And it is through this process that our art takes shape, and we as artists grow."

We (along with Mozart) enjoy the final ensemble and think it belongs there. A drama, and Don G. is certainly one such, doesn't end well at fever pitch. A peroration allows the mind to begin the process of digestion and reflection. But thanks for alerting us; we're going!
Comment by Martin Cohn — April 12, 2014 at 12:56 pm
Youthful vibrancy ! Gen-X edginess ! Keyword Transformation, and the Transformative Power of Art !
There is too much transforming going on here. What makes Don Giovanni a hero despite his generally villainous character is his steadfast refusal to be transformed, his persistence in his appetites and error. Similarly to transform the opera by lopping off the finale (which is, I agree, a bit limp), as the review suggests, is to violate its nature by making it a Romantic, rather than a Classical, work.
By the way, Beethoven not only kept sketches in his notebooks, but made a quotation from Leporello a "transformative moment" in one of his masterpieces – the 22nd of the Diabelli Variations.
PS – hasn't Gen-X graduated by now, and joined the faculty ? Or is it part of its X-iness that the term can forever be applied to new generations, X being the unknown and all ?
Comment by SamW — April 12, 2014 at 1:47 pm
An unattributed Wiki: The opera's final ensemble was generally omitted until the mid-20th century, and does not appear in the Viennese libretto of 1788. Mozart also made a shortened version of the operatic score. Nonetheless, the final ensemble is almost invariably performed in full today.

One more caption try? It's poseur, not possuer or posuer.
Comment by William Bennett — April 15, 2014 at 7:07 am
Maybe it's persuer.
Comment by Martin Cohn — April 15, 2014 at 4:20 pm
"Persuer" is almost as bad as "Possuer." I guess you mean "pursuer."
Lopping off the finale in 'D.G.' reminds me of how teenagers and sentimental romantics of any age are always a bit disappointed that Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' doesn't end with the married couple's deaths. The reasons for the supposedly anticlimactic final ensembles in the Mozart and the Shakespeare are certainly different (in 'R. & J.' how can you get the dead bodies off the stage if there are no live characters around to carry them off in a theater that has no proscenium curtain? they have to die in the 'tomb,' i.e., the so-called recessed 'inner stage,' which does have a little curtain, after which the feuding families can reconvene for the final resolution), but there is a similarity in the sense of restored peace and harmony in both 'R & J' and 'Don Giovanni' and one cam use a bit of the 'giocoso' at the end of Mozart's 'dramma giocoso.' I wonder why the final ensemble was dropped in early days and for much of the following centuries. Or was it Mahler alone who deemed it expendable in the 19th Century? Does anyone know?
Comment by Alan Levitan — April 15, 2014 at 6:53 pm
Interesting first comment here (maybe everyone already knows this speculation?):
Comment by David Moran — April 15, 2014 at 7:14 pm
I was under the impression that if a cut was made in 19th century performances, it was usually that the final sextet was taken off the end, so that there was no "moral" at the end of the story, and the opera ended with Don Giovanni's descent to Hell. I personally like a treatment like one I saw on a video some years ago where the final sextet is played before the curtain.
If you really want to see (and FEEL) hellfire, the latest production at the MET is fairly traditional until the last scene where half the set flips down and towering flames all of a sudden shoot from the stage. I was in a top balcony box seat and got uncomfortably warm, and friends of mine who saw the show from the rear section of Family Circle could feel it too. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be on the stage!
Comment by Thomas Dawkins — April 15, 2014 at 8:41 pm
Perhaps cliché to point out but it sounds like most commenters' reactions to the final ensemble have more to do with the commenter's expectations than anything else, and they should! The final ensemble does provide an emotional (and harmonic) balm after the Don gets roasted, but if a director wants to leave his/her audience unsettled, it can seem anti-climactic. It's just impressive that directors and audiences have so many options.
Personally I like leaving the house feeling unsettled, but maybe that's my latent Gen X (or is it "Z" or "X prime"?) tendencies. DG goes to Hell, the curtain goes up and I can almost hear Mozart giggling, "things started out so funny, huh?"
Comment by Andrew J. Sammut — April 16, 2014 at 9:49 am
Mozart's audience would not have been surprised to see the Don go to Hell; they would have looked forward to it, and probably found it comic. The story was ubiquitous on the European stage, in many forms, including one in which the Leporello part was taken by Arlecchino, plays by Moliere and Goldoni, a popular ballet with music by Gluck, and at least two prior operas. The Classical audience was not in the least shocked by seeing the Don go to Hell, which satisfied the natural order of things, but may have been a little put off by being left without commentary, without being assured that they were much better than he was and could go home and sleep safely in their beds.
Nevertheless Revolution was in the air, and the Romantic Moment was approaching. According to Hermann Abert the reaction to the original finale set in almost immediately, causing Mozart to lop it off on the road from Prague to Vienna, as it were. It was performed without it (though often with other additions, such as the complete collapse of the Don's castle) until the twentieth century, with a few exceptions.
I think that the rather unconvincing character of the final sextet compared to what comes before it is evidence that Mozart and da Ponte (and their audience) were experiencing the kind of pre-Romantic ambivalence attributed by their contemporary William Blake to John Milton: "The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devils party without knowing it."

Jeremy McConnell Addresses Stephanie Davis Pregnancy Claims In Lengthy Twitter Post
He said he'll help her if she stops drinking…
All of this #Jeph drama has taken a turn for the worse with Stephanie Davis' recent pregnancy claims.
After yesterday's indirect tweet, that fans assumed was aimed at Steph, Jeremy McConnell has finally broken his silence on the topic.
Posting on his Twitter page yesterday afternoon (Tuesday 17th May) the Irish model addressed his relationship with his Celebrity Big Brother co-star and to be honest, he does have a point.
In the post Jezza says that he will "do everything" to help her if she is pregnant, but vows that this will only happen if she stops drinking and partying.
He ended the post with the line: "a kid can't fix a broken relationship," which might be the first time that Jeremy has admitted that their relationship is a tad destructive.
We hope that these guys can sort it out and we're sure they'll get their act together if a little baby's involved.

|2004/10/31-11/1 [Uncategorized] UID:34468 Activity:very high
10/31 \_ More important question: why was it under seal and not destroyed in 1995 when they found it? And why did the "sealed" building have air vents noted in the IAEA report that make it clear the building wasn't really sealed? WTF is up with sealing stuff instead of just destroying it? How can you excuse *that* away? \_ ninjas with WMDs! \_ You brainless TWAT. Under seal means "We've locked it up, and everything is accounted for, so if you try to use any of it, we'll know." Guess what? They didn't use it. It sat there until last april, when we overthrew the regime and left it unguarded. Even if it arguably _should_ have been destroyed in '95 (which you're wrong about. The seals are from '91 or earlier), it still doesn't excuse NOT GUARDING IT NOW. you're a fucking TOOL. \_ Guess what? What the Iraqis said was there doesn't jive \_ jibe I like jive, thanks. _/ It's slang, so I can use either one. \_ Oh to be young and ignorant again. Jive isn't slang here it's the wrong damn word. I guess it's hella cool to be an ignorate dope. Have a hella rockin day, dude! with the more recent IAEA surveys from just before the war. I'm sure you (and John below) feel really smart tossing around \_ If I'd wanted your opinion, I'd have beaten it out of you. You miserable, arrogant, holier-than-thou, preachy cretin, I swear, people like you REALLY piss me off. I was commenting on the word choice of the guy's comment, not his goddamm content. Get a clue and learn to read you fucking brainless crotch-rotten litle worm. Now that you mention it, though, your original point does display a pretty horrifying degree of ignorance and misunderstanding of what "seal" means. And as for typing 2x as much, I'm still waiting for some FUCKING CONTENT. -John personal insult but you don't have the facts on your side. Sorry about that. In 1995 the IAEA was told about this stuff by inspectors who begged them to destroy it and they chose not to. Approximately April 13th, our troops on the ground found it and destroyed some portion of it and moved on. The big pink elephant is this was an on-the-ground military snafu. Shit happens in war. They 400,000 tons and might have lost a few hundred tons here and there. You think nuclear components were safe in Saddam's hands but wait, there weren't any. You're all over the place son. Drop the random insults, get some facts and try again. Weird how I managed to type 2x as much as you without using childish insults. You get an "A" for effort on the attempted intimidation, but that just doesn't fly anywhere but the wall. \_ It's not an "on-the-ground snafu". It's a "we had no plan to pursue this war snafu". HMX _is_ a dual-use nuclear component. There have been no reports of troops "destroy- ing some portion of it" that I've seen. Give us a source. How much of the 400k tons of munitions were high-grade explosives? \_ Ok we agree on something. HMX is a dual use nuclear component. Why was it under pseudo-seal instead of destroyed? What exactly is the point of tagging stuff anyway? So that once sanctions end, Hussein could more easily restart his WMD programs? Or because the UN or whatever .org believes that after enough years of sanctions Hussein will have learned his lesson and not use the dual-use stuff for the WMD use? What's the purpose in tagging and sort of checking it every few months instead of just destroying it since they're not supposed to be touching it anyway. And if they did break the seals and move all or some of it, then what? We would know they did and then what? We'd send a nasty letter asking them not to do it too many more times or else we'll send more nasty letters? \_ I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this. Are you saying the missing munitions from Al Qaqaa were destroyed be American troops? -!pp&&!op \_ I'm saying we now know the guys on the ground searched the facility and at least some materials at the facility were removed and destroyed. Since it was a war and not a bean counter's convention no one can ever tell you they know exactly what happened or when to the stuff that was there. If the IAEA reports can be trusted and I don't think they can (since we know Hussein was bribing everyone else on the planet, why not inspectors?) then we know the material was there in November of 2002. In January, we are lead to believe from IAEA reports that only 3 tons of one material type were left which means roughly 135 tons was moved. In April, American troops showed up and destroyed ~250 tons of material from that base but exactly which material is not known. In May, the facility was reported stripped, most likely by the population living in nearby towns. Anything else is pure speculation. This is the point where my friend calls me a twat and a few other things to make a counter point. \_ Whoever wrote this is pure oratory genius. Seriously. It's a bit rough around the edges, but the potential is definitely there. I strongly suggest you try to find some of Mark Latham's choicer insults online. -John \_ Not really, it's just silly. He almost had a few intelligent points but ruined it with frothing hatred and childishly spewed bile. \_ My point. Rough around the edges. For some reason, parliamentary systems seem to breed more polished, amusing frothing to go with the bile :-) -John

Aren't Republicans a lot wealthier? http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/special/president/campaign.ads \_ There has been a huge groundswell from the dems. The huge majority of dem money this cycle has been from $100 or less contributions. There are a LOT of people that want change. \_ not, considering the top 4 Dem donors have spent well in excess of 60+ million. More self-delusion on the Dem's behalf, party of the little people indeed. \_ Kerry raised 32% of his money from donors of $200 or less (and 35% from $2000 or less). "Huge majority"? Riiiiiight. http://www.opensecrets.org/presidential/donordems.asp \_ 2002, percentage of donors giving following amts, dems/reps: $200-999: 39/61 $1000+: 49/51 $10k+: 55/45 $100k+: 67/33 $1M+: 92/8 Billionaires for Kerry! http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/donordemographics.asp?cycle=2002 \_ Um...

The very concept is the antithesis of the campaign finance reform laws that created 527s. Most of them are operating illegally. \_ I'm sure it's just an oversight, and not you trying to spin the numbers, which caused you to leave out the fact that Bush has twice the number of $2000+ donors as Kerry, and a significantly greater portion of his overall contributions from that group. Kerry's not Dean, but his support is still far more grassroots than Bush's. -tom \_ "Far more grassroots"? 32% of both candidates' support is from donors of $200 or less. Kerry has 10% more supporters, but I think it's hard to say "far more grassroots". Howard Dean was "far more grassroots". John Kerry is not. \_ whatever. i don't care. guess who i'm voting for? - danh \_ so you're ok if your guy won with the help of supporters who might have violated campaign finance reform laws? you want to win "by any means necessary"? that sort of thinking opens up a long list of places that no one in this country should want to go. neither side is so darkly evil or different from the other that we need to destroy the country in order to save it. \_ I'm sure it's just an oversight but these numbers don't count the tremendous amount of raw cash pumped into leftist 527 groups created under the bogus "campaign finance reform" laws. How can you forget the money pumped in by the likes of George Soros? \_ I believe soros donated 10 million, not the 80 million figure floating around \_ http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527cmtes.asp?level=C&cycle=2004 http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527indivs.asp?cycle=2004

I think it's pretty sickening that someone who supposedly went to Berkeley would think like this. Of course, we have John Yoo here on campus too. Perhaps you didn't know anyone who died in the towers in Lebanon. Perhaps you don't know anyone who died in the wake of a B2 under a cluster bomb. Perhaps you didn't know anybody who was killed in Iraq. Unfortunately not all of us are as lucky as you are, and the loss of life and pain that many of us have suffered due to barbarism is not something which is fun to speculate about. You might sit in your ivory tower speculating about how moral and supreme your master civilization is, and how the supposedly free people are justified in barbarism, both of which are patently false statements because a chauvinist is neither rational nor is he free. There are self- righteous apologists who attempt to blame everyone but themselves, and unfortunately to the victims of barbarism and to those who knew them that answer is simply not acceptable. In response I can only offer you that I did know someone who was a victim, and it is close to home... I do not condone the retribution which others like OBL seek, but I cannot sit idly by while someone actually supposedly supports these monsters. -williamc \_ So, there's this buffoon who actually cannot seem to read, but does like to run his mouth. Too bad he signed his post. I think it's pretty sad that someone who supposedly went to Berkeley can't seem to read. Of course, we have other morons here on campus too. Perhaps he doesn't know any Iraqis who died in Iraq. Perhaps he doesn't know anyone who died elsewhere in the Middle East. Fortunately, most of us are probably as lucky as he is, and the loss of life and pain that many of those towel head foreigners have suffered due to US foreign policy is not something we should worry our pretty little heads about. We might sometimes sit in our ivory towers speculating about how rational Bin Laden is, and how the supposed poor people might in fact believe they are somehow, someway justified in terrorism, both of which might conceivably be possible.

Are you religious? \_ Heh, lookup "williamc" in the archives and ask that again. \_ when things went bad in Mogadishu many years ago, the Americans showed up thinking they were welcomed because they were going to bring peace, properity, freedom, women's rights, and everything that us westerners value dearly. Guess what? Every villager pretty much hated the Americans and killed them when they had the chance. The idea that western value is the best thing in the world and that everyone else should feel the same way, is Bush-minded. If the US is truely tolerant, it should just leave the world alone. \_ Nice try, no cigar. The US in Somalia were hated by members of the various tribes/clans that had the most to lose. It's not a question of "western values", my good friend. It's the problem of how the US has sought to communicate/transmit/impose those values. There are certain things going on in the world today that are just plain Wrong (tm) by anyone's cultural understanding, and you won't get away with the cheap trick of trying to hide them under local cultural quirks that must be tolerated by the evil imperialist West.

Ibrahim touching on this in this weekend's IHT; I strongly suggest having a read. -John \_ I don't know what started this thread but if someone was saying the ~3000 dead people on 9/11 somehow deserved it due to some sort of 'collective guilt of the people' they need to pull their head out of the sand.

10/31 Is there a web site somewhere that reports the current cell phone tower sites, their frequencies, strengths, etc? I have Verizon and it works everywhere EXCEPT where I live and I'm very upset. I want to know what signal my phone uses (tdma? cdma? gsm?) and what kind of carriers use what signals, and what kind of towers are around the places I go to frequently. This way I'll be able to make better purchasing decisions next time. \_ If you have any Verizon phone from the last ~8 years, it uses CDMA and is also capable of roaming onto Sprint's 'PCS' network, which is also CDMA. Some Verizon phones (sold as 'tri-band') can also recieve the old analog 'AMPS' signals, and so work better in areas with poor signal. These phones are getting harder and harder to find as the carriers move to 'all-digital' phones, which sounds like a selling point but means less versatility, though lower cost of manufacturing. Actual tower locations are a closely guarded secret for reasons of competition (though the excuse du-jour is 'anti-terrorism'). The tower locations should all be on file with the FCC, but good luck getting a look at them. If you got your contract/phone less that 15 days ago, you can return it and get out of your contract with no penalty. If not, see if your phone is 'all-digital', and if it is, get a friend with a tri-band Verizon phone to visit your house and see his signal. On top of that, some phones just get better reception than others. Tri-mode LGs are pretty good, as is the Nokia 6015i from what I've heard. Good luck. - dgies
