Carlisle Airport is located in the North of England, six miles to the east of the city of Carlisle. It originally opened in the 1930s as RAF Crosby-on-Eden, and with the exception of brief cargo flights and a short spell of passenger flights in the 1980s, has been predominantly a general aviation airport.
The road haulage company, and owner of Stobart Air, Stobart Group, purchased the site in 2008 with plans to commence passenger services from a new terminal that was to be built. After numerous delays, the opening date was set for 4th July 2019, with the Scottish airline Loganair scheduled to operate three flights a day to Dublin, Belfast and Southend Airports.
I took a trip to Carlisle Airport to fly on the airport's inaugural flight. As yet there are no public transport links to the airport from the Carlisle, however there is a minibus service provided by Loganair that departs the rail station in Carlisle 90 minutes before scheduled departures.
I arrived at Carlisle Airport around an hour before departure. Entering vehicles were checked for boarding passes or media accreditation before being allowed access – this was apparently in light of recent climate change protests.
The terminal building at Carlisle Airport is absolutely tiny. It consists of a cafe, a check in desk, and a VIP Lounge that was today being used as the Media Centre.
Departing passengers were given a glass of Bucks Fizz, tea/coffee and of course the trademark Loganair Tunnocks Caramel Wafer!
Around 20 minutes before departure, we were called to go through security and to the gate.
Once airside, there was even less space than in the departure lounge. It's perfect for the current operations of three flights a day at different times, but should they go to any more flights I have the feeling they will soon run out of space.
Out on the apron, our aircraft was waiting to take us to Dublin.
Outside, the media were lined up ready to catch their scoop. ITV, the BBC and numerous radio stations were here.
Boarding was started a few minutes before departure time and we walked across the apron to the waiting aircraft – being thanked personally by senior management at Carlisle Airport and Loganair as we went.
The aircraft Loganair are using on the flights from Carlisle are operated by the Estonian carrier Nyxair under a damp lease arrangement. They are on the Estonian register, and have Estonian crews, but are painted in the Loganair livery.
Today's aircraft was first delivered to the Dutch airline Air Exel in 1989, and has served as far away as Kenya in its 30 year lifetime.
Once onboard, you wouldn't know the aircraft wasn't owned by Loganair. Loganair's trademark tartan headrest covers adorned every seat.
The only indication that the aircraft was owned by Nyxair was on the safety cards – which surprised me slightly, as Loganair operate a huge fleet of Saab 340s in the same configuration so could easily swap them out.
The rest of the passengers boarded, including a TV news crew from ITV Borders.
Outside everyone had turned out to wave us off.
We were treated to a water cannon salute by the fire brigade as we taxied out to the runway.
A quick taxi and backtrack to runway 24, and we were on our way as the first commercial flight to leave Carlisle in over 25 years.
It was a beautiful day for flying, and we got some stunning views across Cumbria as we headed towards the coast.
The flight attendant came around handing out presents for all of the passengers. We got a small bottle of Scotch whisky and a beautiful Loganair shot glass.
Next it was time for the standard Loganair service, with tea, coffee and of course Tunnocks Caramel Wafers!
I moved forward a row into one of the three empty seats on the flight. The loads were surprisingly high on this flight – and many passengers hadn't even realised this was the inaugural trip. The overall opinion was that it was far more convenient for passengers to go from their local airport rather than taking the two hour drive to Edinburgh, Glasgow or Manchester Airports.
I had to chuckle at the oxygen supply overhead – indicating that we weren't allowed to smoke while it was in use. I wondered if it may be OK the rest of the time!
We crossed the Irish Sea just to the south of the Isle of Man and began our approach down to Dublin's runway 28.
We touched down a few minutes ahead of schedule after a flight time of just 47 minutes, at a cruising altitude of 14,000ft.
Once we pulled on stand we disembarked, the very first passengers to arrive from Carlisle.
It was great to be a part of history on the inaugural flight from Carlisle. There are now routes from Carlisle to Belfast, Southend and Dublin, five days a week. Whilst Belfast and Dublin are obvious routes for business passengers, I'm not sure whether Southend will be quite as successful, unless flights are timed to connect with the existing leisure flights out of Southend.
Loganair continue to offer an excellent product – and are the perfect fit for this route. It will be interesting to see if other airlines commence flights from Carlisle, in particular Stobart Air's flights for Aer Lingus, or potentially Flybe.
But for now, and most importantly – Carlisle Airport is open for business.

I used the bouncy house in the Festival Plaza in Pokemon Ultra Moon to boost Deoxys' Sp Attack while it was in its Speed Form. I later changed it to its Attack Form so I could teach it Superpower and then changed it back into its Speed Form. Would the Spa Attack boost still be there? Thanks in advance.
The trained stat will still be there. Changing the Deoxys form doesn't erase the boosts.

Cyprus invites Russia to its gas fields
The Cyprus authorities would like to invite Russian companies to develop the gas fields of the Republic. According to the Ambassador of Cyprus in Moscow, this will be beneficial for the balance in the region.
Quite recently Cyprus and Egypt signed an agreement for the supply of gas. However Nicosia hopes that new gas fields will be found and expects Russian companies to participate in the research and extraction of the resources.
Moreover, Cyprus plans to promote the idea of abolition of visas for Russian citizens. Regardless of the fact that they currently have to make a free pro-visa, the Cyprus authorities would like to remove this requirement. Moreover, the Ambassador noted that the number of tourists visiting the Republic is increasing. So far, in 2016, some 650,000 tourists visited the country, which is 25% than in the whole of 2015.
Cyprus aims to reduce paperwork by introducing electronic access to justice
The title of "country with electronic justice" may soon be applicable to Cyprus. The island will significantly alter the process of Court proceedings. In October, the government will announce the tender for the creation of the new system.
The Minister of Justice said that this is done in order to simplify the whole process – from filing the initial application to the final decision on the case. The immense amount of paperwork shall be just a memory of the past: the application will be filed from the office using the computer and the progress on the case can be monitored online.
One thing will remain unchanged – the decisions will still be made by human judges.
Free Wi-Fi in public places
The free Wi-Fi access will become available for the residents and the tourist of the Republic in the most popular public places. The Cyprus authorities are planning to establish the access spots in maximum 4 months, which is the deadline stated in the contact which is almost signed between the government and a private company.
It is expected that the Wi-Fi access will be available in the tourist spots such as museums and excavation sites, as well as in socially important places such as hospitals, citizen service centers and major transport hubs.
Overall, there will 135 access spots, which will cost the government 75,000 Euros.
The President of Cyprus celebrated his anniversary in Paris and in London.
This week the President of the Republic has celebrated his 70th anniversary. He celebrated the occasion quite modestly, but both in London and in Paris, which were in his work schedule during the past week.
Anastasides received the first congratulations from the Cypriots, who live in U.K. During the meeting where the reunification of Cyprus was discussed, he received a cake in the shape of the island. At lunchtime he met with British Prime Minister Theresa May and after he left to Paris.
There is no information about the evening celebrations, but the next morning Anastasiades met with Francois Holland.
Congratulations to the winners of the first J80 International Cyprus Day regatta!
The team of "Russian Radio" won the first place in J80 International Cyprus Day regatta in Limassol.
Several dozens of the sailing sport assembles in the Marina. The beginner's luck rule worked this time – two of the three members of the team went sailing for the first time. The desire for victory, team spirit and experience of the skipper earned the First Place for the team in the competition.
The story of fierce competition and secrets of success is in our detailed video report, which is available on our website and on the "Russian Radio" Facebook page.

FOOTBALL: Guardian Cap adds extra layer of protection to Adam Taliaferro all-star game
Dylan Dowd wasn't impressed by the "goofy" looking "rugby helmet" he and the rest of the Adam Taliaferro all-stars were given on Monday.
Then he put it on.
"There's no real big metal-to-metal thuds," the Schalick High School offensive lineman said. "This really cushions it a lot."
More:FOOTBALL: Phil Iannella represents Pitman proudly at Adam Taliaferro all-star game
The Adam Taliaferro Foundation received a donation of Guardian Caps for its annual South Jersey Football Coaches Association Blue-White All-Star Classic this year and players wore them for all their practices and Thursday's game at Rowan University.
The soft-shell cap fits over football helmets and reduces g-force by as much as 33 percent, according to Guardian Innovations website.
Taliaferro, an Eastern High School graduate, suffered a career-ending spinal cord injury playing for Penn State in 2000, and while the foundation has focused its efforts to support those with similar injuries, making football safer as a whole is its true tenet.
"With one of our missions being to prevent injuries, we thought it was an appropriate fit," foundation president Tom Iacovone said.
Dowd didn't know what to do with the Guardian Cap when he first got it, but he quickly realized its impact, or lack thereof.
"You don't feel it as much," he said. "As a lineman you can definitely tell there's a difference when you're colliding all the time with your head."
More than 50,000 caps are currently in use between youth leagues and high school and college teams, according to Guardian's website. Reigning National Champion Clemson has been using them during practice for five seasons.
Guardian also received the inaugural NFL HeadHealthTECH Challenge for its cap in April.
However, not all the Taliaferro players were fully on board wearing the product.
FOOTBALL: Zeke Ennis ready to shoot down St. Augustine critics at Taliaferro all-star game
Woodrow Wilson defensive back Tyler Parsons had used the cap before while playing 7-on-7 football. He thought it was great for that, as well as for practice, but he wasn't a fan for in-game use.
"I like the old school part of the game, straight helmet, the banging and colliding and everything," he said.
Vineland running back Daivon Seymore was torn as well.
"I see the reasoning behind it, but I feel like they're just trying to take the fun out of it," he said.
Blue team and Willingboro head coach Steve Everette had mixed emotions too, but for a different reason.
It's Taliaferro tradition for all-stars to exchange helmet decals with one another. Since the cap covers helmets, that was lost, he said.
He was fully on board making the game safer though.
"If we want the game to survive and we want kids to be able to still play the game, you've got to make some changes," Everette said. "We've changed the way we tackled. When I was playing football it was you bit the football, you purposely dropped your head and put your face on the football to make a tackle. You don't do that anymore. In order for the game to survive you need to make these changes. You need to make the game safer. I love the game and these kids love the game, so they're going to do whatever they can do."
Former Philadelphia Eagle receiver Harold Carmichael, an honorary coach for the Taliaferro game, first noticed the caps from his truck during practice on Tuesday.
He originally thought they were mesh covers used to decipher the offense and defense, but then one kid through his on the sideline and it stayed to form.
"I think it's a great innovation for helmets," Carmichael said. "It helps take out some of the force that's coming at you."
And if it's the future of the game, he'd support it.
"If it's going to protect me, yeah, I'm all for it," Carmichael said. "My rookie year I wore everything man. Elbow pads on, I had the neck roll on and I had the big thigh pads on. A lot of guys don't think it looks cool to have thigh pads on, but if you get that deep thigh bruise, you'll wear thigh pads the rest of your life."
Iacovone believes it'll just take some getting used to.
"They do look a little weird, but everything is relative," he said. "I can remember when we put the first bird cages on the helmet, it was like, 'Holy mackerel. That's weird.' The helmet itself is not something that's natural, we've just become so accustomed, so used to seeing it. When we see something different it changes things a bit. We're experimenting with it and seeing what it is and anything that can prevent injuries is what our goal is and to promote the game."

This particular managed to get hard with regard to individuals have been after dark conventional university grow older as well as experienced work as well as households every single child generate sophisticated levels. The actual expansion associated with on the internet colleges as well as learning online applications offers transformed all that. Nowadays there are several choices open to individuals who want to carry on their own education, be it in order to lastly get yourself a senior high school diploma or degree, obtain the accreditation, as well as generate the learning online experts level. These types of colleges as well as programs are actually completely certified so that as suitable in several groups because conventional levels. No more tend to be potential college students close away through range, loved ones scenario, or even insufficient choices.
Advantages of learning online
There are lots of advantages in order to receiving a level through a good on the internet college. The obvious very first advantage is actually that you're not really restricted to location. Having a great web connection as well as applications such as Skype, the digital class in most feeling from the term has become a real possibility. You might also need much more versatility within arranging your own courses. The digital class can be obtained when you're. You've the flexibleness to go to course close to your work as well as loved Lam bang dai học. ones routine. Acquiring a professional level can help you inside your profession. Individuals that maintain a professional level generate much more during the period of their own operating existence compared to without having levels. You are able to possibly progress inside your present profession or even begin on the totally new profession route.
How can you start?
The initial step would be to discover exactly what choices tend to be open to you. A few large number of web sites that checklist all the colleges that provide learning online levels.

Brain Tumour Segmentation using Pyramid Scene Parsing (PSPNet)
source link: https://www.tuicool.com/articles/MVB3Qfe
Go to the source link to view the article. You can view the picture content, updated content and better typesetting reading experience. If the link is broken, please click the button below to view the snapshot at that time.
Doing cool things with data!
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases faced by mankind since ancient times. Almost 30% of the population of the world succumbs to cancer every year. If the tumour is detected in early stages , the chances of survival increase drastically. Deep Learning (CNN) has transformed computer vision including diagnosis on medical images. In this post we will harness the power of CNNs to detect and segment tumours from Brain MRI images .
See example of Brain MRI image with tumour below and the result of segmentation on it. Here the left image is the Brain MRI scan with the tumour in green. And the right image shows the machine prediction of tumour in red. It is amazingly accurate!
We have worked with startups to build various applications using semantic segmentation. Contact u s to find out more.
Semantic Segmentation
Semantic Segmentation is labelling pixels in an image into a class. In the image above we are labelling all pixels in the image as either tumour or background class. Many efficient deep learning based semantic segmentation methods have been published such as (in chronological order) :
- UNet
- SegNet
- Dilated Convolutions
- DeepLab (v1 & v2)
- RefineNet
- PSPNet (Pyramid Scene Parsing Network)
- DeepLab v3
For this blog, we chose PSP-Net since it is pretty efficient and is known to do better than many state-of-the-art approaches such as U-net , FCN, DeepLab (v1,v2), and Dilated Convolutions etc.
DeepLabV3 is another popular and powerful model. I recently wrote a blog on how to do semantic segmentation at 30 FPS using DeepLabV3
To learn more about the different segmentation architectures listed above, please refer to this post .
Pyramid Scene Parsing Network
State-of-the-art scene parsing frameworks are mostly based on the fully convolutional network (FCN). The deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods boost dynamic object understanding, and yet still face challenges considering diverse scenes and unrestricted vocabulary. An example is where a boat is mistaken as a car. These errors are due to similar appearance of objects. But when viewing the image regarding the context prior that the scene is described as boathouse near a river, correct prediction should be yielded.
Accurate scene classification relies on having this prior knowledge of global scene categories. Pyramid pooling module helps capture this information by applying pooling layers with large kernels. Dilated convolutions are used ( Ref : dilated convolutions paper ) to modify Resnet and a pyramid pooling module is added to it. This module concatenates the feature maps from ResNet with upsampled output of parallel pooling layers with kernels covering entire image , half and small portions of image.
PSPNet architecture is described in the image below. You can read more about PSPNet in their paper here .
Building Brain Image Segmentation Model using PSPNet
The dataset was obtained from Kaggle . This was chosen since labelled data is in the form of binary mask images which is easy to process and use for training and testing. Alternatively, this useful web based annotation tool from VGG group [ link ] can be used to label custom datasets.
The dataset follows the following folder hierarchy :
|_images — RGB images in png format
|_masks — Mask RGB images in png format with regions filled with their respective label values.
Our labels are : 1 for tumour , 0 otherwise
For example :
Let's say the pixel (10,10) belongs to tumour , it contains value 1.
Training framework
While many amazing frameworks exist for training and evaluation of semantic segmentation models using Keras, the following repo stands out due to its ease of usage, the number of different models it supports and the up to date documentation :
We chose "vgg_pspnet" , which is a pspnet implemented over pretrained vgg backbone.
Steps to be followed are :
- Git clone https://github.com/divamgupta/image-segmentation-keras.git
- Follow the instructions the repo readme for installations
Once the repo is installed, training can begin!
# Navigate to the Semantic_segmentation/image-segmentation-keras folder
import keras
from keras.models import model_from_json
import keras_segmentation as ks
# Initialise the pretrained model .
# Note that the input height and width need not be same as image height and width since the network takes care of the input sizes.
model = ks.models.pspnet.vgg_pspnet( n_classes=2,
# Training
train_images = "datasets/brain/images",
train_annotations = "datasets/brain/masks",
checkpoints_path = "ckpts/brain" , epochs=50 ,
auto_resume_checkpoint = True,
steps_per_epoch = 50
Running Inference through the trained model
# Load Neural Network
model = ks.predict.model_from_checkpoint_path('ckpts/brain')
# Predicted output will be a mask image similar to the mask images specified in the input
pred_mask = ks.predict.predict( model = model , inp = 'image.png' )
Below are the results we obtained on a small subset of dataset . Though the dataset is quite easy to overfit , the highly accurate results show the potential of this method.
Image order : Raw image (Left) , Predicted mask (Center) , Overlaid mask boundary (Right)
Hope you like the blog and try the code for yourself. This blog shows that we can use pretrained models to get good segmentation results in half a day of work! It truly demonstrates the power of deep learning based computer vision.
We can extend this code to any kind of medical images which have features to be segmented. Examples include different kinds of cancer tumours , microbes , fractures, holes etc.
I have my own deep learning consultancy and love to work on interesting problems. I have helped many startups deploy innovative AI based solutions.

Proposed Wildcat Cove Park in North Forsyth
This is from Forsyth Commissioner Cindy Mills' Facebook page regarding the proposed Wildcat Creek Park in North Forsyth.
Cindy Jones Mills Due to the potential inclement weather, the community meeting to discuss Wildcat Creek Park scheduled for Wednesday, February 25 at the Coal Mountain Park Community Building has been rescheduled for Wednesday, March 4 at 7 p.m.
Cindy Jones Mills It's a lake park at the end of Crystal Cove road that the Corp of Engineers just gave to us. We voted to design it and I was having a community meeting to get input from the area. It's 28 acres at the end of Crystal Cove road. It's really early on. We have just voted to send it out for a RFP for a design. This is just to get community input. I had sent out 250 letters inviting people who live in that area to a meeting tomorrow night and now bad weather or the threat of it has caused us to delay until next week. I hope to get some good input from the people who live in that area. Thanks!!

Why should I change my cologne by the season?
There are multiple factors involved in choosing the right cologne while personal preference and occasion are at the top of the list, it's important to also consider the season and how it will affect the scent.
Top Picks at a Glance
A great fall fragrance that's spicy and luxurious with masculine authenticity.
Check Price
Rich and opulent that can range from professional to romantic. Perfect for the colder months.
Check Price
Blu Mediterraneo
A fresh, unisex scent that's perfect for the heat of the summer.

Part of its physiological. High temperatures intensify smells while cold temperatures make our sense of smell fade.
This means some colognes that work well in winter feel overwhelming in summer and similarly, some fragrances that are refreshing in summer are unnoticeable in the winter months.
On a more emotional level, there's also contextual changes that go with the seasons a cozy, spicy scent just feels more pleasant with warm sweaters and hot coffee during the winter while a sweet citrus pairs well with a summer afternoon spent at the beach.
Coordinating your colognes according to season helps keep you out of a fragrance rut and ensures that your cologne fits well with any seasonal changes.
Here is a comprehensive guide to fragrances according to the season.
Spring Scents
Spring is all about optimism. This is the time when the winter cold melts away, leaving the earth cleansed and refreshed. Nature starts to wake up and everything is in bloom. It is a time filled with hope and brightness.
Ideal Characteristics of a Spring Fragrance: Fresh Florals, Greens, Grass, Basil, Orange Blossom
Choose a fragrance that's crisp and fresh with moderate projection.
Best Spring Fragrances
Creed Green Irish Tweed Millesime Eau De Parfum Spray
Grassy with a touch of lemon on the opening. A fresh, masculine scent smells like an Irish meadow but somehow sophisticated at the same time. Great classic spring scent.
Other spring scents worth a try:
Fahrenheit By Christian Dior For Men
Yves Saint Laurent L'homme For Men
Summer Scents
Hot weather signals a more casual, relaxed style. It's the time of year we go on vacation, go to the beach, and spend extra time outdoors. Like a summer wardrobe, we want to avoid anything overly formal or too heavy for the time of year.
Our sense of smell is heightened in the summer months and just as the suit that felt perfect in December feels overwhelming and too formal in August, the same principle applies to cologne.
In general, you have two choices: choose something cool and invigorating to combat the intense heat or pick a citrus or floral scent that compliments the warm weather.
Ideal Characteristics of a Spring Fragrance: Crisp, Florals, Citrus, Aquatics, Bergamot, jasmine, orange blossoms, mint, sea air
Choose a cologne that's fresh and invigorating with light to moderate projection.
Best Summer Fragrance
Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Chinotto Di Liguria
Patchouli and musk with floral heart notes of jasmine, cardamom, geranium, and rosemary that makes you feel like you've just stepped off your boat in Portofino. A fresh, unisex scent that's perfect for the heat of the summer.
See our article on Best Summer Fragrances for more.
Other summer scents worth a try:
Virgin Island Water by Creed
Summer by Calvin Klein
Fall / Autumn Colognes:
You need to choose a comforting fragrance. You need to consider musky, woody aromas to match your fall mood.
Think something along the lines of a flask of your favorite hot drink in a flask while you take an unpretentious walk to take in your surroundings.
This is the time for long introspective walks, a time to really take in the scenery and enjoy the natural beauty of the changing leaves and environment.
True, you need to wrap up a little tighter, but fall is the time of diverse colors and warm drinks.
Ideal Aromas: Patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, amber, oakmoss
Fragrance Family: Wood
This is one of the most relaxing times of the year. Fall marks a changing scenery and a change in pace. Everybody gears down, trying to get ready for the winter months ahead
Best Fall Fragrance: John Varvatos Vintage Eau de Toilette Spray
A spicy, luxurious fragrance with a warm appeal, this cologne boasts masculine authenticity paired with rugged appeal. Top notes of rhubarb, quince paste, juniper berries, and cinnamon tree leaves, this is liquid fall in a bottle.
You'll be smelling like changing leaves, hot drinks and warm relaxation all throughout the fall.
See our article on Best Fall & Winter Fragrances for more.
Other fall scents worth a try:
Coach for Men Eau De Toilette
Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo for Men
Winter Colognes:
Winter. You either love it or you hate it. There's cold, and the inconvenience of leaving your warm bed in the morning.
But on the other hand, there are movie days, warm comforting clothes and hot drinks in front of a roaring fire. The season has its ups and downs.
Ideal Aromas: Vanilla, cinnamon, incense, amber, and spices
Fragrance Family: Amber / Oriental
As expected, the ideal winter cologne is something rich and spicy. Something that is full of robust flavor that will warm up the air around you and engage your senses.
It takes longer for the fragrance to evaporate, so you'll be enjoying the delicate blends and infusions for a little while longer. Your senses are also less focused on other activities or aromas so you have the time and capacity to properly take in all the rich smells of a winter cologne.
Best Winter Fragrance: Amouage Epic
A rich and opulent cologne that represents the ultimate refinement from Amouage. This is the type of cologne that can range from professional or romantic and is perfect for the colder months. Deeply warm, rich and inspired by elegant oriental traditions.
Encre Noire by Lalique
Robert Graham Valour
Remember that perfume is an art and a science, there are many factors that contribute to a successful fragrance, and the temperature is one of those factors.
You can't force something to smell good and we must do our best to help the cologne a much as we can.
After all, a painting isn't just propped against the wall. It is given special care- we don't just stick it anywhere, we see if it matches the room, the color scheme.
The same consideration should be given to your cologne. Prove your level of refinement, and wear the season on your sleeve.

Comparison between effects of intravenous lidocaine and sublingual nifedipine on preventing blood pressure increase in laryngoscopy
Authors Mohseni, Kolyaei A, Farshchian M, Rezaei M, Ghadami N
Published 17 June 2010 Volume 2010:2 Pages 89—92

Introduction: Arrhythmia during surgery most frequently occurs during laryngoscopy and intratracheal intubation. Many surgical procedures require intratracheal intubation, which results in hemodynamic changes. These changes in ill patients and patients with limited coronary flow reserve are associated with serious events.
Materials and methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed on 124 healthy patients who were elective surgery candidates at Taleghani hospital in Kermanshah. Patients were allocated randomly to each equal group of 62 patients with 95% significance and 90% power of test-retest for sample size. The patients had no history of disease or use of special medications. Drugs commonly used for laryngoscopy and intubation to prevent hemodynamic complications, intravenous lidocaine and sublingual nifedipine, were compared with independent and paired t-tests.
Results: This comparison suggested that while the mean age, weight, and sex distribution in our two groups were the same, mean changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate increases in the lidocaine group were 12.6%, 7.5%, and 16.5%, and in the nifedipine group, 17.7%, 11.0%, and 23.5% (P value = 0.0052, 0.189, and 0.0001), respectively.
Conclusion: According to the results of our study, intravenous lidocaine is more effective than sublingual nifedipine for preventing hemodynamic changes while performing laryngoscopy or intratracheal intubation.
Keywords: hemodynamic changes, laryngoscopy

The U.S. Air Force recently released some great images of their new GAU-5A Aircrew Self Defense Weapon in service. The rifle, first shown off last year, is designed to be packed in ejection seat bail-out kits alongside flares, a flashlight, a life raft, medical and survival modules, all intended for aircrew to use in an emergency if needed.
"We were asked to design a stand-off weapon that was capable of hitting a man-size target at 200 meters," said Richard Shelton, Chief of the Gunsmith Shop, in an Air Force news article. "It disconnects at the upper receiver, is located inside the seat kit [of ACES 2 ejection seats], and can be put together within 30 seconds if needed."
The GAU-5A must stow inside a 16 x 14 x 3.5-inch ejection seat compartment, according to a June 2018 Air Force Times report. The guns get that small due to the use of an M4 style collapsible stock, flip-up backup iron sights, an Israeli FAB Defense AGF-43S folding pistol grip, and a Cry Havoc Tactical Quick Release Barrel (QRB) kit.
Cost to develop and field the system was $2.6 million– a price of less than $1K per gun. Where do we sign up?
Previous bail-out guns
The GAU-5A is not the first rifle to accompany American aircrews. Going back to the 1940s, the M4 Survival Rifle and then the M6 Air Crew Survival Weapon– the latter a double-barrel break-action .410 shotgun over a .22 Hornet– were included in the bailout kits on several aircraft. Those guns, removed from service in the 1970s, are now considered museum pieces.

WWII student identification tag
Object Number:
ca. 1942
Diameter: 1 3/16 in. (3 cm)
"R. Weiss / 8-12-30 / 8-1629NMC"
Brown circular tag inscribed: "R. Weiss / 8-12-30 / 8-1629NMC"
Gallery Label:
During World War II, New York schools accepted responsibility for the safety of their students. Principals and teachers received training in civilian defense and first aid. The Board of Education distributed emergency equipment to teachers. Air raid drills became part of the classroom routine. And the School Defense Council arranged for public, private, and parochial school students to wear emergency identification tags around their necks. By July 1942, 1,600,000 children had received tags, each embossed with their name, date of birth, school district, and a serial number. This tag was issued to Rosalind Weiss Rothman in 1942, when she attended either P.S. 54 at Amsterdam Avenue and 104th Street or J.H.S. 118, called Joan of Arc High School, between 92nd and 93rd Streets and Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. Ms. Rothman remembers: "I believe I was in 6th and 7th grade when we were required to wear these every day to school. … I even remember one air raid warning (not a drill) I was at the Museum of Natural History with my class (from Joan of Arc Jr High - on 92nd street and Amsterdam) when the alarms sounded. Our tags were checked so that we were returned to our homes. The whole city was shut down."

I'm not naturally inclined to be the participatory type when it comes to community endeavors. Blogs, forums, comments, wall posts... meh. I don't engage in social networking, and in that perhaps you should consider me something of an atavism. Like the Spurs, I am what I am, and I don't deign to apologize for it.
That said, I'm a ruthless and relentlessly competitive sonofabitch, and I bleed Silver and Black. I want to see equal mixes of precision and passion from my Spurs. I demand flawless execution, and I rant at the television when I don't get it. This post-season, I have been ranting a lot. I've been doing a lot of pacing of the hardwood in front of my couch, like some kind of demented Stan Van Gundy, nursing a 30 point lead against Atlanta.
I've growled at the screen innumerable times, willing my team to dig just a little bit deeper, make the pass just a little bit crisper, make just a little bit smarter a decision - please, anything, just fight for crying out loud. Fate, however, doesn't budge for the likes of me. It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that they simply don't want it as badly as you do, but the inescapable truth is far worse:
The talent is there, but the will and wherewithall to force aged bodies to express that talent is waning. And our young guns still have not yet taken on the mantle of responsibility, preferring instead to bull on with questionable decision making, or looking meekly back to their spent leaders for guidance.
The regular season is a long grind, and somewhere around February the fire was extinguished. The contrast between now, and the beginning of the regular season is striking: one paints a picture of a team hungry to reach deep within themselves and find that elusive fount of greatness, while the other picture closely resembles something more readily found in my 5 month old son's diaper. Where it all went wrong, I cannot say, but it saddens me deeply to have witnessed the fight, scrappy determination and sheer stubbornness seemingly bleed out of my Spurs over the last few months.
I've leaving work early today in order to be home to watch the game. I firmly believe that these Spurs can - and should - find it within themselves to be the team of destiny they set their designs upon in the pre-season.
They just have to fight.
There is a folk idiom which goes, "still waters run deep" - if there is but a grain of truth to it, then somewhere inside the blank façade Timmy puts up to the world at large lives a seething cauldron of silent rage.
Now is not the time to keep that rage silent, Timmy.

Rihanna's new Fenty trainer for Puma hits retail tomorrow, just a few weeks after the style debuted at her much-buzzed-about New York Fashion Week show.
The look, Rihanna's take on a traditional work out sneaker styled with her own fashion-forward flair, is a new silhouette for Puma. The trainer will be stocked at Puma stores globally as well as Puma.com and select sneaker boutiques. It comes in three colors, black, white and red.
The style plays up exaggerated proportions: the upper is made from Ariaprene, a neoprene that is designed to create a secure and breathable fit. One of the most interesting details is the high tongue on the shoe, which also features TPU Kurim cage with underlay.
Rihanna's first style, the Puma Creeper, sold out when it was released last September. The style, created with input from menswear brand Mr. Completely, is an update on Puma's classic Suede sneaker.
The Creeper style took inspiration from London and New York's '80s punk bands. It updates the classic Puma Suede style, which was originally embraced by athletes in the '70s and then by punk bands and skaters in the '80s. Rihanna appears with rapper Travi$ Scott in the campaign images.
It's certainly been a big month for Queen Ri, who told FN before her fashion show she owns thousands of pairs of shoes.
After backing out of her performance at the Grammy Awards earlier this month, the star was back in action at the Brit Awards Wednesday. She arrived wearing a lavender Armani Privé dress and silver Giuseppe Zanotti sandals.
When she took the stage to sing "Consideration" and "Work" from her new album "Anti," Rihanna wore a white crop top and white fringed pants. She completed the look with a pair of Zanotti white pointed toe booties with a gold plated heel and gold zipper up the back.

Chinese Translation Planned for Branstad Book
An Iowa author's book about Governor Branstad's long tenure in office is being translated into Chinese by a Beijing publisher.
Newton author and former newspaperman Mike Chapman wrote Iowa's Record Setting Governor: The Terry Branstad Story in 2015.
It was a complete surprise and of course I'm flattered. -author Mike Chapman
Two Chinese publishers expressed an interest in translating the book.
"With all the attention that's being given to President Trump's relationship with the president of China, and Governor Branstad's relationship with that same person, I can see why a Chinese readership would be interested in learning more about their new ambassador," Chapman said.
Through a Chinese-American liaison in Des Moines, Chapman signed a contract with China International Press.
He expects the translation to come out in the next few months with a new introduction and a new cover photo of Branstad and President Xi Jinping.
"It was a complete surprise and of course I'm flattered," Chapman said. "I've had 29 books published, but this is the first one in Chinese."
In Iowa, proceeds from sales of Iowa's Record Setting Governor are benefiting the Iowa History Fund, a nonprofit organization founded by Branstad in 2015 with a goal of preserving Iowa's history for future generations.

Lack of supervised swimming spaces prompts drowning concerns
A file photo of WFPS water training. (Source: CTV News/Dan Timmerman)
WINNIPEG -- The Lifesaving Society is expressing its concern that a lack of supervised swimming locations may lead to an uptick in drownings.
Due to public health restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, many supervised swimming sites are not currently open, which may cause people to venture out to unsupervised waters.
"I worry this year with the hot weather, the pent-up feelings with the pandemic and the limited places to swim where lifeguards are supervising, because the safest place to swim is where a lifeguard is," said Barbara Byers, public education director for the Lifesaving Society.
Over the weekend, the body of nine-year-old Darius Bezecki was found in Winnipeg's Red River. Bezecki had gone into the river on Friday with siblings and a friend.
In Ottawa, a 14-year-old boy remains missing and is presumed dead after he jumped into the Ottawa River off a bridge with a group of friends.
CTV Winnipeg also previously reported the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to four simultaneous water rescue calls on Saturday night at a swimming pool, The Forks, a river bank and the Assiniboine River. One person was taken to hospital in critical condition in connection to the swimming pool incident.
According to the Lifesaving Society, at least 400 people drown in Canada every year.

A long time ago Sicily was ruled by terrible tyrants and illuminated rulers, powerful queens and even by a child. This book tells us the plots and the betrayals, the love affairs and revenge, the wars and the passions that have left a trace in every corner of the island, from the catacombs of the ancient cities to the medieval towers that still rise above the buildings. Just like in a time machine, first you will be taken back to Greece, then to the Middle Ages and in this journey you will meet the great personalities that made the history of the world when the world revolved around an island.

The Phat Pack, a three-member group of Broadway performers that was named one of the best performers in Las Vegas in 2013, takes the Grand Opera House stage on Thursday.
Each member of the Phat Pack has more than 30 years of performance experience in theatre, both on Broadway and national tours. The group is made up of Bruce Ewing, who played Jinx in Forever Plaid both on national tour and on Broadway; Ted Keegan, who played the Phantom on national tour of The Phantom of the Opera as well as on Broadway, and Randal Keith, who played Jean Valjean on the national tour of Les Miserables and on Broadway.
The show has an equally impressive accompanist, Philip Fortenberry, a Broadway pianist with an expansive career who was the hand and body double for Michael Douglas' portrayal of Liberace in the HBO Films biopic, Behind The Candelabra.
Ewing, 52, took some time between interviews Monday to talk about the show.
He said he, Keegan and Keith all worked on the Phantom of the Opera production in Las Vegas. After rehearsals, he said, the three would talk about what they'd do next. Out of those conversations came the idea for the Phat Pack.
"We had so much fun together in six years in Vegas," he said. "We wanted to create something together."
What they formed was a laid back and humorous performance of the group's favorite songs from their careers, singing trios and solos from Broadway and American Standard music. They coined their group the Phat Pack by combining the first two letters of "phantom" with a tip of their hats to the Rat Pack, he said.
Though the three have powerful voices on their own — which can be hard to combine — together they bring a unique sound that Ewing said is a pure joy to share with audiences.
"We're so blessed with the sound that we get to make together," he said. "This, for us, is something brand new and really, really joyful."
They perform songs that were written specifically for the group, too, like "Men of a Certain Age." The song puts a funny spin on what Ewing called "adult problems," like blood pressure, cholesterol and wearing reading glasses.
The Phat Pack also share personal stories about their careers onstage during the show.
"We get to share with the audience sort of what it's like to live this life," he said. "It's just an interesting life, being a performer - and being an unknown performer - because we get to just really enjoy the art of what we do."
Audiences on Thursday can expect an intimate, fun-filled performance and a chance to get to know the group after the show during meet and greets, he said.
Ewing, who said he has a friend who's grandfather worked at the Grand Opera House and accommodated performers like Fred Astaire, was anxious to get to Oshkosh and see the historic building himself.

Wazir collects Rs 21 crore over first weekend
Amitabh Bachchan Farhan Akhtar-starrer Wazir has collected Rs 21.01 crore over the opening weekend.
Wazir, which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar in lead roles made an opening collection of Rs 21.01 crore over the first weekend since its release on Friday.
Read: Wazir movie review: A revenge saga that is not angry but devious
The action-thriller opened to mixed reviews, but the impressive cast failed to impress the audiences. After making a disappointing opening day collection of Rs 5.57 crore, the earnings saw slight rise on Saturday and Sunday with Rs 7.16 crore and Rs 8.24 crore respectively. However, a total of Rs 21.01 crore over the first weekend is a dismal figure, considering the film was made at an estimated budget of Rs 35 crore. Wazir might break even as there are no big Bollywood releases till January 22 (when Akshay Kumar's Airlift hits theatres).
Read: Amitabh's Wazir fumbles at box office, earns Rs 13 crore in 2 days
The Bejoy Nambiar-directed film collected Rs 10.48 crore on overseas ticket windows. Wazir traces the story of a cop (Farhan) and a disabled man (Amitabh) who come together in search of solace from similar losses. Aditi Rao Hydari, Neil Nitin Mukesh and John Abraham also feature in the movie. The film uses chess metaphors to talk about life.

We shouldn't fear failure some failures have in fact proven to be better than what was actually being pursued in the first place. Take 3M the glue used in Post-It Notes was supposed to be a new super glue, the only problem it had was it wouldn't stay stuck to anything very well. The end result was this new glue actually had a much larger market than any super glue. Teflon was an experiment that at the time was a failure, yet it ended up being one of the greatest products ever invented and it found hundreds of uses. My personal favorite failure is the chocolate chip cookie, the first time they were made they were supposed to become chocolate cookies, what would have happened if that baker had never tried using semi-sweet chocolate, we would have all lost out on hundreds of chocolate chip enriched snacks.

Failure has only two outcomes one is the opportunity to learn something new, and the second is finding new opportunities. Failure and what we learn from having tried will in the end help us to succeed, it will also often open us up to opportunities we previously did not see.Robert Drescherhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

The stock market has been the most famous and significant thing ever in our lives. This is a fact. It is something that we cannot take away from us as an action. Some people are more curious about it than others and this is the reason why they keep trying to find the best methods of trading in the stock market.
We often hear that in order to survive in this business transactions must be done with caution and you need to be careful while dealing with the market. This is always a good and convenient approach when it comes to business transactions.
All your thoughts should be directed towards the stock market and what you do when you start or when you already have your own company. That is the one thing that is very important to make the right decision and not take the wrong decision with any other decision.
These are the things that you should think about in order to be a good trader in the stock market. You also need to understand that the stock market is a very important market that will make your life so much easier.
The stock market is the best thing that is ever created for people and for businessmen as well. It can provide you great opportunities and it can also cause your business to fail. It is the same rule as any other kind of business that you have.
It is better to take a risk when you do business with the stock market. If you take a risk, you will probably get some profit and it is also possible that you will lose a lot of money as well. The only reason why you should take a risk is to ensure that you will be able to achieve success at the same time.
Take some time to learn about the stock market and make it your career for a while. Once you have learned everything there is to know about the stock market and the system that you are using, you can go ahead and start trading and start earning some money.
Do not forget that there are many ways and means that you can use when it comes to investing your money and earning profit from the market. The most important thing is that you need to know how to understand the stock market well and how to manage it well.
It is true that it is difficult to manage the stock market, but if you want to become a successful investor then you must learn to manage the market yourself. You can also hire a stockbroker in order to make sure that you do not lose money by doing your own trading.
With the knowledge that you have gained and with the help of a stockbroker, you can manage the stock market for you. If you are smart enough and if you think that the stock market is not worth a lot of your money, then you can try to invest in the stock market and earn some money.
You must be very careful when you do stock market trading. If you are lucky enough, you can be a part of the stock market and you can earn profits on a daily basis.

NTT Communications' SD-WAN Gives McLaren Racing an Edge for 2018 Season
Posted Mar 23, 2018 06:19 (GMT +7)
WOKING, United Kingdom & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 22, 2018
McLaren Formula 1 TEAM (McLaren), a pioneering leader in Formula 1 motor racing for more than 50 years, and NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (TOKYO:9432), announced today that McLaren will adopt SD-WAN (software-defined wide-area network) technology from NTT Com to connect the McLaren Technology Centre with racing circuits in 21 countries during the 2018 season. The decision follows a successful test deployment of the technology during the 2017 Japan Grand Prix, when McLaren was able to send 100GB of data during a race from Japan to the UK via NTT Com's SD-WAN.
NTT Com's SD-WAN uses software to control the WAN, providing McLaren with quick, secure, reliable and flexible management of data traffic flows. A variety of traffic can be sent via different connections, such as internet, mobile and MPLS, depending on time, priority and current network speed. This flexibility allows the priority routing of key data, such as telemetry and video, at critical points. Also, NTT Com's service includes a dashboard screen to visualize data-traffic status during a race. McLaren can grasp network availability and required data bandwidth at a glance to optimize data transmission during a race, giving them an edge in the real-time formation, adjustment and deployment of in-race strategy.
Dr. Shin Miyakawa, Vice President, IoT Office / McLaren Taskforce was particularly pleased with the genesis and evolution of the project. "One of our R&D engineers attended a pre-season practice in Barcelona in 2017 and noticed occasional video jitter on screens in a garage, which made him wonder about the data bottlenecks causing the problem. At his suggestion, we tested our SD-WAN during the Suzuka 2017 race and the results were very successful. We engineered a solution for the 2018 season that McLaren will now use across the team. I'm very pleased with the success of our technology partnership."
During a keynote speech at the Mobile World Congress in February 2018, two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso spoke about the growing importance of data for both machine and driver performance: "Each car provides more data every single second than you can imagine. Every single movement we do in the car, every steering wheel input, every throttle input, every brake pressure input is transmitted immediately in real time to the engineers in the garage."
"Technology is such an important part of racing," said Zak Brown, Executive Director of McLaren Technology Group. "SD-WAN is one of a number of marginal gains we are seeing from our technology partnership with NTT Communications. Because SD-WAN offers us more control over data flows during crucial moments, it gives us an edge. I also think it proves the willingness of our Technology Partners to deliver, to bring their expertise to the party, with the ultimate goal of driving the team faster."

Here's where I shut up and "show you the code"
Okay, there's been enough blather from me about binary logging in Apache. It's time for some action.
I've posted the code online. Poke it, prod it, fork it, play with it, or laugh at my code if you want. It's out there for the world now.
I figured that if this saves just one person the trauma of having to write yet another CLF parser, I have succeeded.
As for me, I'm going to start figuring out what to do with all of this tasty, tasty binary data.
