US 6201888 B1Abstract
Noise-corrupted boundary information in tomographic images is restored using a data structure, called a “boundary envelope”. Both the restored boundary information and a measure of the precision of the restoration are described by the process. This data structure is used to describe the restored information in both qualitative and quantitative terms. The results of the boundary restoration process are described qualitatively by graphically displaying the boundary envelope together with the noisy CT image in such a way that allows a human observer to (a) see more details of the boundary than are visible in the CT image alone, and (b) to visually apprehend the precision with which the boundary has been restored. A boundary envelope describes a region in the image within which the boundary of a given noisy object is guaranteed to lie. The boundary envelope describes a set of limits on the object boundary, and limits on those properties of a noisy object that can be computed from boundary information.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is as follows: 1. A computer-implemented method of processing computed tomography (CT) data for restoring noise-corrupted boundary information comprising the steps of:
i) detecting pairs of edges in projection data; ii) deriving from said edge pairs, two corresponding sets of line segments in a CT image, said sets of line segments being tangent to a convex object in the CT image having noise-corrupted boundaries; iii) computing first and second convex polygons, the first polygon defined by the intersection of the line segments in the first set of said line segments, and the second polygon defined by the intersection the line segments in the second set of said line segments; iv) computing an intersection of said two convex polygons to produce a third polygon which is referred to as an outer polygon; v) computing from said outer polygon, a fourth polygon, which is referred to as an inner polygon, that lies within said outer polygon, and that is uniquely determined by said outer polygon; and vi) computing a region of intersection between said inner and outer polygons, said region of intersection being referred to as a boundary envelope. 2. The computer-implemented method as in claim 1, practiced in combination with computer-implemented methods for describing restored boundary information and limits in a precision of the restored boundary information.
3. The computer-implemented method as in claim 2, wherein said computer-implemented methods for describing the restored boundary information, and the limits in its precision, comprise a qualitative method of description and a set of quantitative methods of description.
4. The computer-implemented method as in claim 3, wherein said qualitative method of description comprises a method for graphically displaying on a computer monitor the boundary envelope together with the noisy CT image.
5. The computer-implemented method as in claim 3, wherein said methods of quantitative description comprise methods of computing bounds on properties of the object whose boundary has been restored.
6. The computer-implemented method as in claim 5, wherein said methods of computing bounds on the properties of said object with restored boundary comprise methods that employ the geometric shape of a boundary envelope to compute said object's surface area, boundary perimeter, centroid position, moments and products of inertia, eccentricity, and other two dimensional properties of an object that can be computed from its boundary.
7. The computer-implemented method as in claim 1, wherein said projection data are projection data that are readily accessible on a standard medical imaging scanner in a clinical environment.
8. The computer-implemented method as in claim 7, wherein said projection data are scout images.
The present invention generally relates to the field of computer image processing of computer tomography (CT) data and, more particularly to the problem of restoring noise-corrupted boundaries in CT images, and to the characterizing and displaying of this restored boundary information.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,416,815, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, describes computer tomography (CT) systems and the method of image reconstruction from projections.
Computed tomography images are created from projection data by a process known as “image reconstruction from projections”. If the projection data are corrupted by noise, the reconstructed images will in turn be corrupted by noise. The artifacts in the images resulting from this noise are known as “reconstruction artifacts”.
For example, in X-ray CT imaging, a significant amount of noise can be introduced into the projection data when the objects being scanned contain metal. The reconstruction artifacts manifest in the form of blooming and streaking artifacts that radiate from he regions of the image where the metal is present.
These artifacts (known as “metal-induced” reconstruction artifacts) produce severe corruption especially at the boundaries of objects in the images. This significantly limits the clinical usefulness of the images, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, since an accurate knowledge about locations of object boundaries is crucial in applications such as computer-assisted surgery, and radiotherapy.
There are two basic approaches to recover information about the corrupted boundaries, a “projection-based” approach, and an “image-based” approach.
In the “projection-based” approach, projection data obtained from the CT scanner are used to recover missing boundary information. The prior art in boundary recovery from projection data includes:
m. Bergstrom, J. Litton, L. Eriksson, C. Bohm, and G. Blomqvist, “Determination of Object Contour from Projections for Attenuation Correction in Cranial Positron Emission Tomography”, Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, April 11982, 6(2), pp. 365-372; Jean-Philippe Thirion and Nicholas Ayache, “Method and device for examining a body, particularly for tomography”, U.S. Pat. No. 5,421,330, (1995); N. Srinivasa, K. R. Ramakrishnan, and K. Rajgopal, “Detection of edges from projections”, IEEE Trans. Medical Imaging, March 1992, 11(1), pp. 76-80; Ralph Benjamin, “Method and apparatus for generating images”, U.S. Pat. No. 5,647,018, (1997).
In the “image-based” approach, the noisy CT image is first “cleaned-up” by applying a suitable noise-reduction algorithm. Since this process improves the overall quality of the image, it will improve the quality of the boundaries, which can then be determined with improved precision. Since the image-based methods are primarily concerned with improving the overall quality of the image, they are not especially well-suited for the specific task of boundary-recovery. Nevertheless, they are included here for the sake of completeness.
In general, the most appropriate noise reduction algorithms to use in the image-based approach are hose algorithms known as “metal artifact reduction” (MAR) methods. The prior art in MAR algorithms includes the following: D. D. Robertson, P. J. Weiss, E. K. Fishman, D. Magid, and P. S.

The following are the limitations of the prior art. The existing projection-based boundary-recovery methods are designed to work with high-quality projection data, that is projection data that are (i) highly-sampled, (ii) of high-resolution, and (iii) contain an insignificant amount of noise. Unlike the present invention, they are not designed to handle noisy projection data, or sparsely-sampled or low-resolution projection data.
Therefore, these methods are not suitable for embodiment in practical, real-world systems that can be routinely used in hospitals and medical clinics, and that rely only on data that are readily available from standard medical CT scanners.
The image-based methods, as already mentioned, are not especially well-suited for the specific task of boundary-recovery. Since they are not expressly designed to solve this problem.
IMAGE: A rectangular 2D digital picture. Each pixel in the image is identified by a pair of integers (x,y), where x and y are, respectively, the column and row locations of the pixel. (The terms “slice” and “image” are used interchangeably in describing the present invention).
RAYSUM: This refers to the basic unit of projection data collected by a CT scanner. It is the value associated with a single X-ray beam. It is a measure of the total attenuation of the beam ray as it travels from its source through the object being scanned to the CT detector array.
VIEW: A view consists of a complete set of rays produced by a CT scanner with the X-ray tube in a fixed position.
DERIVATIVE PROJECTION DATA: Given a set of projection data P, a derivative set of projection data D is a set of projection data derived from P that has less information content. Typical examples of sets of derivative projection data are sets produced when P is sub-sampled, when its resolution is reduced, or when it is otherwise filtered.
SINOGRAM: In its standard mode of operation, a CT scanner collects a set S of views while the CT table is held in a fixed position. The views in the set S are acquired at different positions of the X-ray tube as it rotates around the table. A sinogram consists of all the projection data, or a derivative thereof, in a single set S of views.
Since each data point in a sinogram corresponds to a single ray traveling from the X-ray source to the detector, a sinogram can be represented as a 2D image, where each pixel is uniquely identified by the ordered pair of integers (r,v) where v is the view containing this ray, and r is the number of the ray within view v. Therefore, the following terms are used interchangeably: sinogram data, projection data, sinogram image, and projection image.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a system and method to recover the details of object boundaries in computed tomography images that are corrupted by noise, and in particular in X-ray computer tomography (CT) images that have been corrupted by reconstruction artifacts.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a system and method for determining and describing the constraints on the precision of the recovered boundary information.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a system and method for graphically displaying the recovered boundary information together with the constraints on the precision of the restored information.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a system and method for determining physical properties of the objects in tomographic images from the recovered boundary information.
According to the invention, there is provided a boundary-recovery system that:
uses projection data and tomographic image data to restore noise-corrupted boundaries in tomographic images;
produces a description of the limits of the precision of the restored boundary information;
graphically displays the restored information in a manner that allows a human observer to see the locations of corrupted object boundaries, together with a graphical representation of the limits of precision of the determined boundaries;
computes physical properties of objects in the tomographic images from the restored boundary information and the description of the limits of restoration precision;
is applicable to the processing of not only high-quality sinogram data, but also to the processing of to sparsely-sampled and/or low-resolution projection data, including projection data derived from scout images as well;
is applicable to projection data corrupted by noise of the type that is induced by the scanning of objects made of material (such as steel) that is opaque, or near-opaque to the scanning x-rays;
is applicable to recovering the boundaries of convex objects, and the boundaries of the convex hulls of concave objects (but not the boundaries of the concave objects themselves); and
is clinically viable in the sense that this method that can be embodied in a practical, real-world system that can be used routinely in hospitals and medical clinics, and relies only on data that are available from standard medical CT scanners.
More specifically, this invention is a technique for restoring missing boundary information in CT scans of medical patients having implanted metallic prostheses, a method of describing the restored boundary information, a method of graphically displaying the restored boundary information, and a method for computing geometric properties of objects with noisy boundaries in CT images, using the techniques according to the invention.

Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown one preferred embodiment of the present invention for recovering, describing, and displaying missing boundary information in noise-corrupted computer tomography (CT) images 130 produced by a computed tomography scanner 105 and output via a CT input/output (I/O) unit 110. A patient 120 is scanned by the CT scanner 105, collecting projection data 135, from which is created a set of two-dimensional CT images 130. This process of creating the images 130 is known as image reconstruction from projections. The CT images 130 contain cross-sectional details of the scene that was scanned, which typically includes the patient 120.
The CT images 130 and the related CT projection data 135 are input to a computer 150 and, optionally, stored on an external storage medium 155. The computer 150 may be, for example, an IBM RS/6000 workstation running AIX, IBM'S version of the UNIX operating system, and the external storage medium 155 may be, for example, a disk storage system connected to the computer. An boundary-recovery program 140 running on the computer 150 reads in the CT images 130 and projection data 135, and produces the restored boundary information 160.
The restored boundary information 160 is graphically displayed on a computer monitor 170. Further, this restored boundary information 160 is used by a computer program 180 to measure numerical properties of image objects, for example geometric properties like surface area, boundary perimeter, centroid position, moments and products of inertia, eccentricity, etc.
FIG. 2 shows a flow chart of the boundary-recovery program 140 shown in FIG. 1. The CT image is processed as follows. The noisy CT image (input at function block 200), and the noisy sinogram (i.e., projection) data (input at function block 210), are read into the computer. In function block 220, the high contrast sinogram edges are detected.
Each of these high-contrast sinogram edges corresponds to a line in the CT image that is tangent to an object boundary. We know that these correspondences do indeed exist, because of the particular nature of (a) the sinogram data being processed, and (b) the boundaries being restored. That is, the sinogram data are affected by noise that corrupts sinogram pixel values, but not the location of high-contrast sinogram edges. In addition, the boundaries being restored belong to convex objects.
Once the boundary tangents have been computed in function block 230, the boundary envelope (see (definition below) is computed in function block 240. The boundary envelope, which is derived from the tangent data, is a novel feature of this invention. Its function is to describe the limits of the precision with which the missing boundary information can be restored. Once the boundary envelope is computed, it is displayed with the CT image at function block 250, and it is also used to computer quantitative image properties in function block 260.
A boundary envelope (Pinner, Pouter), is defined to be the region of intersection between the pair of nested, convex polygons Pinner and Pouter. An example of a boundary envelope is shown in FIG. 3. A boundary envelope delimits the region within which a boundary is constrained to lie, and quantifies the degree of precision to which the boundary location can be specified. Given a boundary envelope, we know the region in which the boundary is guaranteed to lie, but we cannot be more precise in specifying the location of the boundary. The two polygons Pinner and Pouter that define a boundary envelope have the following specific properties:
They have the same number of vertices, and
either polygon can be uniquely determined from the other.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the method of extracting the sinogram edges (function block 220 of FIG. 2). The CT image data are input at function block 400. The projection data (also referred to form a 2D image) are read in 420, and an edge-detector algorithm 440 is applied to this projection image, using prior art image processing techniques (see, for example, Computer Vision by Ballard and Brown, Prentice Hall, 1982). A region R is identified in process block 430 that completely encloses the object of interest in the CT image input at function block 400. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, this region is identified manually by a human operator by tracing the outline of region R on top of the CT image on the computer monitor. Now region R induces a set of constraints on the possible edge locations on the sinogram image that correspond to points of the object boundary. The limits on locations of the sinogram edges are computed in function block 450. These edge constraints can be easily derived, using prior art methods, from R and the CT scanning geometry 415. (In general, such a region R can always be identified in the type of CT image that we consider in the preferred embodiment of this invention, even though the precise location of he object boundary is corrupted by noise. In the event that the CT image is so corrupted by noise as to make it impossible to find such a region R, the method described in FIG. 4 can still applied, with steps 430 and 450 being skipped. The method will still work correctly when these two steps are skipped, since they are used primarily to speed up computation.
In function block 460, further constraints on the possible sinogram edges are computed, by making use of the facts that:
From (a), we can conclude that in each row of the sinogram, the there are exactly two edges corresponding to the object boundary, and from (b) that the image intensity gradient at the leftmost of these two edges is positive, and the image intensity gradient at the rightmost of these two edges is negative.
The constraints in function blocks 450 and 460 are used to select, from edge data computed in function block 440, the required edges pairs 470. If these constraints are not adequate on their own to uniquely identify the required edges pairs 470, a further election step is required to do this. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, an additional step is performed manually by a human operator.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the method of computing a boundary envelope from sinogram edges. The sinogram edge data 500 and the parameters of the scanning geometry 510 used as inputs to function block 520 where the boundary tangents in the image are computed.
The parameters of the scanning geometry 510 that are used in this invention are:
the CT X-ray source-to-detector distance;
the CT X-ray source-to-origin distance;
the ray geometry: (i) parallel or (ii) divergent (fan-beam);
the detector shape (for divergent ray geometry): (i) arc or (ii) planar;
number of rays per view;
spacing between successive rays;
the number of views;
the azimuth angles of the X-ray source at every view; and
the rotation direction of gantry: (i) clockwise or (ii) counter-clockwise.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention:
the ray geometry is divergent;
the detector is arc-shaped;
the angular spacing between successive rays is constant; and
each view has an odd number of rays, and the center-most ray intersects the detector at its center.
After the tangents corresponding to the sinogram edges are computed in function block 520, the outer polygon of the boundary envelope is is computed in function block 530. In function block 540, the inner polygon of the boundary envelope is computed, completing the calculation of the boundary.
FIG. 6 describes the details of the process of function block 520 in FIG. 5. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the method used to derive the line segment corresponding to a given sinogram pixel. The accompanying drawing in FIG. 6A shows the scanning geometry related to computing this line segment.
The sinogram edge data is input at function block 610 and comprises:
α is the azimuth angle of the x-ray source at view v.
The CT scanner geometry data input at function block 620 comprises:
A is to distance from X-ray source to the origin (i.e., the length of line PO in FIG. 6A);
B is to distance from X-ray source to the detector (i.e., the length of line PC in FIG. 6A);
rc is the ray number of the central ray (i.e., the ray along line PC in FIG. 6A); and
δ is the angle between successive rays in the view.
In function block 630, β, the angle between lines PC and PQ in FIG. 6A, is computed. In function block 640, the 2�2 rotation matrix R is initialized. In function block 650, the 2�2 matrix M is initialized. In function block 660, the coordinates of the endpoints of line segment PQ are computed.
The sequence of process steps in function blocks 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, and 660 (FIG. 6) is applied to every sinogram edge. This completes the computation of all boundary tangents (function block 520 of FIG. 5).
The next processing step in this invention is to compute the outer polygon of the boundary envelope process block 530 of FIG. 5. FIGS. 7A to 7D illustrate the details of this process.
In FIG. 7A, (L1,R1), (L2,R2), (L3,R3), and (L4,R4) are four pairs of tangent lines obtained from scanning a convex object with scan views acquired at points P1, P2, P3, P4. In each pair of tangents, Li lies on the left side of the scanned object, and is called the “left tangent”. Similarly, each Ri is called a “right tangent”. To compute the outer polygon, we first compute two intermediate polygons, polygon Pv=(v1,v2,v3,v4) which is formed by the intersection of the set of left tangents (see FIG. 7B) and polygon Pw=(w1,w2,w3,w4) which is formed by the intersection of the set of right tangents (see FIG. 7C).
Note that the problem of finding the convex polygon that is defined by the intersection of a set of N tangents is equivalent to the problem of finding the intersection of N half planes. In general, this problem requires O(nlog(n)) time (see for example F. Preparata and M. Sharnos, “Computational Geometry”, Springer-Verlag, 1985). However, in the problem at hand, the tangents in each set are ordered. Therefore, each vertex can be computed from the intersection of pair of consecutive tangents, e.g. Vi=Li Li+1. Therefore, the two polygons can be found in linear time.
To calculate Pouter=(O1,O2,O3,O4,O5,O6,O7,O8), the outer polygon of the boundary envelope, we now compute the intersection between polygons Pv, and Pw, as shown in FIG. 7D. This completes the processing of function block 530 of FIG. 5. Note that computing the intersection of two polygons can be done using prior art algorithms (see for example, J. O'Rourke, Computational Geometry in C, Cambridge University Press, 1994).
FIGS. 8 and 9A to 9C illustrate the details of calculating Pinner=(I1,I2,I3,I4,I5,I6,I7,I8), the inner polygon of the boundary envelope (function block 540 of FIG. 5). In FIG. 8, function block 800, counter j is initialized to 1. In function block 810, Kj is set to line segment (Oj, O[(j MOD N)+2] (see FIG. 9A). In function block 820, counter j is incremented, and if its value is less than or equal to N (the number of vertices in the outer polygon) as determined in decision block 830, the process loops back to function blocks 810 and the process is repeated. When all N line segments K1,K2, . . . , KN, have been calculated (see FIG. 9B), and counter j is larger than N, function block 840 is executed, and inner polygon Pinner=(I1,I2, . . . ,IN) is the polygon defined by the intersection of the set of line segments (K1,K2, . . . , KN) (see FIG. 9C).
The reason that the object boundary (FIG. 9A) is guaranteed to lie strictly within the boundary envelope (FIG. 9C) is a follows. First, since the object is convex, and the edges of the outer polygon of the boundary envelope are tangent to the object, the object must lie completely inside the outer polygon. Second, consider the line segment K1=(O1,O3) (see FIG. 9A). We know that the object boundary must touch polygon edges (O1, O2) and (O2, O3). Let us call these two contact points t1 and t2. Since the object is convex, the portion of its boundary between t1 and t2 cannot cross over line segment K1. Therefore, the piece of boundary segment between t1 and t2is guaranteed to lie with the shaded triangular region (O1,O2,O3). By repeating this argument for every triple of successive outer polygon edges (O1, O(i MOD N)+1, O(i MOD N)+2, we see that the object boundary is guaranteed to lie outside the region defined by the intersection of line segments K1,K2, . . . , KN (FIG. 9B). Therefore, the object boundary is guaranteed to lie:
inside polygon Pinner=(I1,I2, . . . , IN), and
outside polygon Pouter=(O1,O2, . . . , ON).
In other words the object is guaranteed to lie within the boundary envelope (Pinner, Pouter) (FIG. 9C).
The boundary envelope of an object can be used for both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the physical properties of a convex object in a noisy CT image.
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, qualitative evaluation is achieved by displaying on a computer monitor the noisy CT image, together with a graphical overlay of the boundary envelope (FIG. 10). The physician (or other human observer) can then visually integrate the information presented by the boundary envelope together with the CT image, in order to make more accurate clinical judgments than would be possible from observing the just the noisy CT image itself.
Since the boundary envelope has a precise mathematical definition, it can also be used to quantitatively evaluate properties of objects and their boundaries. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, these include using the inner and outer polygons to calculate bounds on an object's surface area, boundary perimeter, centroid position, moments, and products of inertia, eccentricity, etc.

A House for Eliza: The Real Story of the Cajuns by Constance Monies, Paperback | Barnes & Noble® B&N Top 100 NY Times Bestsellers
by Constance MoniesConstance Monies
There is a misconception that all the Acadians, who were exiled from Nova Scotia in 1755 and migrated to Louisiana, were poor farmers and trappers. The truth is, a group of these Acadians were plantation owners. This novel is the real story of the "Cajuns" of Louisiana.
Eliza Landry lives the comfortable life of an upper, middle class Acadian family in southwest Louisiana. Raised in a similar manner, Eliza's mother kept her children apart from freed slaves, who she deems are not suitable.
Oscar Daigle is from a different background and is the owner of a large plantation that depends on freed slaves to run the plantation.
When Oscar asks Eliza to marry him, her mother disapproves, saying plantation life will mean an association with the wrong people. Determined to marry, Eliza insists Oscar would not put her in a place where she would be unhappy.
After the wedding in 1893, Oscar brings Eliza to the house he has built for her on the plantation. She meets the workers and soon realizes she could never hold herself "apart" from them. Her strong will makes her more determined to prove her mother wrong.
During the next twenty-seven years Eliza gives birth to sixteen children. In 1929, The Great Depression forces Oscar to sell parts of the plantation in order to provide the necessities. Shortly after the depression, Oscar dies. Most of the children have families now, and many of the workers have left the plantation. After suffering a heart attack, Eliza dies in 1958, having raised children who became part of The Greatest Generation. They lived through two world wars, numerous illnesses, tragedies, and monumental discoveries. They never once lost their faith in God or in one another.

Fantastic Sudoku book. Give your brain a good work out. Some puzzles take about an hour, the rest longer. This is the second time I have had this book. Not to be done if you have distractions as you can easily go wrong, unless you are good at picking up from where you left off. Good luck

By Frank Stewart October 23, 1999
North was an overbidder -- the sort of player who'll call a spade two spades. When South bid three hearts, North should have raised to four; when North actually called three spades before supporting hearts, it sounded like slam interest to South (as it would have to me).
Alas, South was an underplayer. He took the first diamond in dummy and let the ten of trumps ride. A trump to the jack won, and South drew trumps and led a spade.
West signaled with the six; and East let dummy's king win and also refused the next spade as West played the four to show a doubleton.
Since dummy had no more entries, it wouldn't help South to force out the ace of spades. He tried the club finesse -- and went down.
South must win the first diamond with the ace and lead a spade. If East ducks (to win is no better), South next picks up the trumps and forces out the ace of spades. The king of diamonds is an entry to a winning spade, and South gets rid of his club loser.
You hold: S 9 8 2 H A K J 9 8 7 D A J C A 9. You open one heart, and your partner responds 1NT. The opponents pass. What do you say?
ANSWER: With an aggressive partner, make the textbook rebid of three hearts, promising 16 to 18 points with six good hearts, or raise to 2NT. With a timid partner, bid 3NT. Since you have good intermediates in hearts and aces on the side, your hand is better than its point-count suggests.

Putin's image: An inextricable part of Russian life | Fox News
MOSCOW – As Vladimir Putin begins his fourth term as Russia's president, his image is ubiquitous at home and effectively Russia's "brand" worldwide.
A fixture on state television, Putin shows up daily — giving instructions to officials, meeting workers and visiting heads of state, surveying new medical, aerospace and defense facilities. Not infrequently, he shows up in a more casual setting such as playing hockey or skiing.
At Sheremetyevo International Airport and souvenir stands throughout Moscow, Putin's sober, stern visage gazes out from T-shirts, mugs, matryoshka nesting dolls and refrigerator magnets. Sometimes, the images combine respect with a touch of humor, such as the popular portrayal of him riding a bear, his shirtless torso showing impressive muscles.
Analysts say Putin's portrayal is subtly shifting.
Although his face is widespread, the portrayal stops short of the omnipresence that characterizes personality cults such as those of Kim Jon-un in North Korea or Turkmenistan's Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov.
For many Russian enterprises, Putin's face is a commercial opportunity.
The founders of Syet, a pro-Putin group which designs merchandise and slogans emblazoned with his image and message, have sought to capitalize on what they call "the Putin brand."
Gleb Kraynik, one of the designers behind the Syet project, beams as he holds up a bold, heavy knuckleduster embossed with the face of Russia's president. He has dubbed it the "Putinversheter ring", which means a person who understands Putin in German.
"Putin is without a doubt the country's brand," says Kraynik. "If before when you asked a foreigner what he thought of when he thought of Russia, he'd said: matryoshka, balalaika, caviar, vodka. Then now whatever opinion he has on our president, he'll say Putin."

The Mothers (Audiobook) by Jennifer Gilmore | Audible.com
Jesse and Ramon are a loving couple, but after years spent unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant, they turn to adoption, relieved to think that once they navigate the bureaucratic path to parenthood they will have a happy ending. But nothing has prepared them for the labyrinthine process - for the many training sessions and approvals; for the constant advice from friends, strangers, and "experts"; for the birthmothers who contact them but don't ultimately choose them; or even, most shockingly, for the women who call claiming they've chosen Jesse and Ramon but who turn out never to have been pregnant in the first place.
Jennifer Gilmore's eloquence about the human heart - its frailties and complexities - and her razor-sharp observations about race, class, culture, and changing family dynamics are spectacularly combined in this powerful novel. Suffused with passion and fury, The Mothers is a taut, gripping, and satisfying book that will stay with listeners long after it's over.
©2013 Jennifer Gilmore (P)2013 Dreamscape Media, LLC
"Jennifer Gilmore...explores the deep and plangent desire for a child, but also takes on the epic state of contemporary motherhood itself: its status, its limitations, its pleasures and sorrows, and the fantasies that inevitably surround it. This well-observed exploration of maternity both day-to-day and existential has the ache of longing at its heart, and the result is both broad and personal, and always engaging." (Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings and The Ten-Year Nap)
"The Mothers is a searing examination of the very human desire to be that seemingly simple thing: a mother. Jennifer Gilmore explores the emotional depth and breadth of mothering with raw honesty and her signature grace." (Ann Hood author of The Red Thread and The Knitting Circle)
"I couldn't stop reading it - it had the harrowing qualities of a psychological thriller, the comedy of a familiar Jewish family, and was alternately hysterically funny and heartbreaking. It is down to the bone stripped-bare honest." (A.M. Homes, author of May We Be Forgiven and The Mistress's Daughter)
Several times while listening to this narrator's whiny voice I decided to give up because of the lead character's constant complaining about everything while trying to adopt a baby, but had invested enough time that I wanted to know how it would turn out. It was not worth my time.
Would you try another book from Jennifer Gilmore and/or Tavia Gilbert?
Would you be willing to try another book from Jennifer Gilmore? Why or why not?
Book was too straightforward--not enough literary texture.
Her voice has an anxious, tense quality that made the character seem unlikeable. Also, there were problems with her reading (the director should have caught these). She doesn't know how to pronounce Jewish words, she pronounces "Ramon" in two different ways, her Ramon accent is strangely Russian at times, and she's inconsistent--Ramon has an accent but his mother doesn't.
Do you think The Mothers needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
The book was very informative--I learned a lot about the adoption process by reading it. Anyone contemplating adoption will find this very useful and thought-provoking.

Aquarius Legend provides very basic accommodations. Floors are very clean, however couches and cushions are dusty/grimy. There are leakage problems in the bathrooms. There is a lot of noise from the main street. Room and bathroom doors may not latch unless locked with a deadbolt. This is a simple, budget hotel, about a 2-star hotel with breakfast. There are comparable and better hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter available at lower rates than Aquarius Legend currently charges. The staff are very eager to resolve the complaints they can and should be commended for that, especially the women who work during the daytime. Some of the other staff are intrusive -- one stared at us from above the table while we ate breakfast, which became uncomfortable fast. Anmäl det här omdömet 1 av 1 omdöme

I'm going to have to ask a source on this, I find it hard to believe that a random to GM run would reach GM with 0-14 in one matchup, especially because looking it up (again I never heard of it) he started in bronze. I find it hard to believe that a progamer cannot beat bronze players in TvZ, that he did not win a single game sounds extremely unlikely. And he would probably have a hard time reaching GM in the first place if two out of 9 of his matchups had 0% winrate.
It wasn't bronze to GM, it was like high masters to GM or something. There's a picture of his winrates in this thread though: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/2c1zmu/minigun_hit_gm_as_random/
Regardless, you're not actually attacking my point that Terrans whine more, you're in fact simply arguing that the other races are again easier than Terran, id est, whining.
I actually play protoss o.O. And how am I supposed to attack that point. How could I possibly measure how whiny a race is? Do you have any actual evidence to support your claim?
It just doesn't seem intuitive that there's a correlation between choosing terran when you first play SC2 and being a whiny person.

About Moen: Al Moen came up with the idea for a single-handle mixing faucet in 1937, after receiving a scalding burst of hot water from an old-fashioned two-handle faucet. After countless revisions of his initial design, and plenty of legwork to find an interested manufacturer, Moen, along with Ravenna Metal Products of Seattle, Washington, sold his first 250 single-handle faucets in 1947. Since then, Moen's company has become a household name, earning international recognition as a leading producer of kitchen and bathroom faucets and fixtures. Moen's products have received numerous awards for their innovative and convenient designs. The ioDIGITAL Vertical Spa and ioDIGITAL Shower won Awards for Design Excellence (ADEX) Platinum awards in 2010 - the highest level of award at the event. Moen also received the WaterSense Manufacturer Partner of the Year award for 2010, and is committed to remaining a top innovator and inventor of quality kitchen and bath fixtures.

About this Item: PHI Learning, 2006. Hardcover. Condition: New. 3rd edition. This well-established text, now substantially revised and updated, provides compre-hensive coverage of biochemistry in the overall context of body function (and dysfunction). Though as originally envisaged, the text is written primarily for the medical student to be useful at all stages of medical education (and not only during preclinical years) its special features and coverage would also considerably help the graduate and postgraduate students of general biology and life sciences. The significant features of this new edition have been the major revisions by way of incorporating the recent advances in chapters dealing with human genetics, biochemical and molecular basis of inheritance, expression of genetic information, genetic engineering, immunology and present-day progress in vaccinology. The clinical biochemistry has been given special emphasis. The core chapters on cellular reactions, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins and their interrelationship have been updated so as to equip the medical students with the knowledge to relate these with the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases.
