Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
By: Jenn Lelko

A little bit of OCD humor to start off this slide show.

OCD 101

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce anxiety, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, or by a combination of such thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions).
The acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid and come across to others as psychotic
OCD is the fourth-most common mental disorder and is diagnosed nearly as often as asthma and diabetes mellitus

Common types of OCD

Checkers: Checkers feel compelled to check objects such as door locks and “off” settings on household appliances. They live with an excessive, irrational fear that harm will be brought to themselves or others because of a failure to check and recheck things. They often visualize horrific catastrophes in which they are to blame for a lack of responsibility. Checkers often develop elaborate checking rituals that make it difficult for them complete daily tasks.

Washer and Cleaners
Washers and cleaners have an irrational fear of contamination. They compulsively avoid potential contaminants. They have obsessions regarding disease spread by dirt, germs, viruses, and foreign substances. They live with the constant dread of becoming contaminated or contaminating others. Washers and Cleaners often wash and clean their hands, clothes, and houses countless times a day, though they never feel clean or “safe” from contaminants.

Orders
Orderers are focused on arranging things in the “right” way. Often, they must organize things in an exact, particular, or “perfect” way before beginning daily tasks. They become extremely distressed if their things are moved, touched, or rearranged.

Obsessionals
Obsessionals experience unwanted, intrusive and horrific thoughts and images of causing harm to others. Many Obsessionals engage in repetitive thoughts such as praying, counting, or repeating certain words, in order to counteract their disturbing thoughts.

Hoarders
Hoarders collect insignificant items and have difficulty throwing away things most people would consider to be of no value. Hoarders often have chaotic living environments as a result of their extensive collections.

As a person with this disorder, my type is a combination of two. I am a “checker” and a “washer”. I constantly check my doors and window before I leave, or go to bed. When I get up I the morning I wash my hands three times, as well as multiple times throughout the day.
It impacts my life daily. I have to plan and extra thirty minutes to whatever I do so I know I will have time to check all the locks and appliances.
Having a germ phobia also impacts me daily because it restricts a lot of what I do. I don’t like public facilities because I feel as if they are not cleaned properly. I avoid contact anyone at all costs, and when I do have to, I use as minimal of contact necessary.

Many people who have OCD know that their actions often don't make sense. They may try to hide their problem from family and friends, and may have trouble keeping a job because of their actions. Without treatment, obsessions and the need to perform rituals can take over a person's life. OCD is an anxiety disorder that can be life-long. A person with OCD can also recover and then get the illness again, or relapse. This illness affects women and men in equal numbers. Most often, OCD begins during the teenage years or early childhood, although it can start in an adult

Cause of OCD

 The exact cause of OCD is not known. Researchers are looking at differences in brain activity among people who have OCD and persons who do not, for clues about its cause.
OCD is not caused by family problems. Nor is it caused by something in a person's childhood, such as an unusual focus on cleanliness, or a belief that certain thoughts are dangerous or wrong
It's important to know that when a person has OCD, it's not her or his fault.

Symptoms of OCD include:

Having upsetting thoughts or images enter your mind again and again.
Feeling like you can't stop these thoughts or images, even though you want to.
Having a hard time stopping yourself from doing things again and again, like counting, checking on things, washing your hands, cleaning, re-arranging objects, doing things until it feels "right," or collecting useless objects.
Worrying a lot about terrible things that could happen if you're not careful.
Having unwanted urges to hurt someone, but knowing you never would.

A brain with OCD

These are examples of the things I check before I leave my house or go to bed.
Having this disease has greatly impacted my life.

Percent Comparison:

Process of thinking

Impact OCD has on lives:
It is estimated that between 2 and 3 million people are suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder in the United States. About one in fifty people have had symptoms of OCD at some point in their lives, with 1% suffering within the last year. OCD afflicts people of all races, faiths, nationalities, and ethnic groups.
OCD causes great suffering to patients and their families, as up to 10 hours per day may be devoted to performing rituals. OCD has been classified by the World Health Organization as one the top ten causes of disability worldwide.

faith | Vessels and Journeys
i feel…i believe…i know…i don’t know…
by vesselsandjourneys in Creativity Tags: believe, dream, faith, karma, soul
sometimes there are things that happen – out of our control – yet they happen. And regardless of how miniscule the event looks to the outside world, something pivots in our personal universe, like tumblers sliding into place in a million dollar safe…you can almost feel the ground physically shift under your feet.
i had one of these yesterday…huge to me.
And today i find myself making a list of what i believe…sorting my spiritual beliefs into bushel baskets- this is in, that one is out…that one i am still unsure about.
I believe that there is a higher power, a spiritual force that is in charge of everything or at least conscious of everything on a spiritual level.
I believe that there is a life after death of some type- I believe this has to be for something, some purpose…
I believe that all humans and animals have souls- and that we recognize one another sometimes on a soul level, even if not on a conscious level.
I believe that souls can have multiple lives or body experiences- i don’t know that all do, but I feel that past lives, memories that don’t appear to be mine, and soul recognition are real things and the the life force that makes me alive stores information from other experiences before it came to reside in my body.
I believe that what you do can benefit you or harm you, directly but also in terms of what comes back to you. Call it karma, but if you do good, I believe good will come to you. What goes around comes around.
I believe if you look for the deeper meaning in things, in life, you will find it- and if you are shallow and look only for monetary gain and pleasure, you are missing out and will be disappointed in your life.
I believe in ‘positive energy’ and ‘negative energy’… i think that people share their energy with people and objects around them and that energy can negatively or positively affect circumstances.
I believe that if one looks, you can see this energy around someone- some call this an aura. I just know that when someone is hiding something, is shifty and bad, I can feel it, or even see it in the space around that person- their space looks dirty, and it isn’t a physical hygiene thing, it has to do with their energy, I believe.
I believe that stress and worry can affect your physical health…that everything is connected, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
I know there is more, and as I continue to sort this all out, i will add to this list…
and i know what i have is not much…
i know that some people have elaborate spiritual belief systems…i am not there.
I feel like I am in my ‘decluttering’ phase of my spiritual life…weird, huh?

Transformer Design Consideration for off-line Flyback Converters using Fairchild Power Switch (FPSTM)
Core Features EE EI EFD EPC EER -Low cost -Low profile -Large winding window area -Various bobbins for multiple output -Large cross sectional area -Relatively expensive Typical Applications Aux. power Battery charger LCD Monitor CRT monitor, C-TV DVDP, STB
Table 1. Features and typical applications of various cores
2. General Transformer design procedure
(1) Choose the proper core Core type : Ferrite is the most widely used core material for commercial SMPS (Switchied mode power supply) applications. Various ferrite cores and bobbins are shown in Figure 1. The type of the core should be chosen with regard to system requirements including number of outputs, physical height, cost and so on. Table 1 shows features and typical application of various cores.
Core size : Actually, the initial selection of the core is bound to be crude since there are too many variables. One way to select the proper core is to refer to the manufacture's core selection guide. If there is no proper reference, use the table 2 as a starting point. The core recommended in table 1 is typical for the universal input range, 67kHz switching frequency and 12V single output application. When the input voltage range is 195-265 Vac (European input range) or the switching frequency is higher than 67kHz, a smaller core can be used. For an application with low voltage and/or multiple outputs, usually a larger core should be used than recommended in the table.
Output Power 0-10W EI core EI12.5 EI16 EI19 EI22 EI25 EI28 EI30 EI35 EI40 EE core EE8 EE10 EE13 EE16 EE19 EE22 EE25 EE30 EE35 EE40 EE50 EE60 EPC core EPC10 EPC13 EPC17 EPC19 EPC25 EPC30 EER25.5 EER28 EER28L EER35 EER40 EER42 EER49 EER core
Table 2. Core quick selection table (For universal input range, fs=67kHz and 12V single output) Figure 1. Ferrite core (TDK)
Once the core type and size are determined, the following variables are obtained from the core data sheet. - Ae : The cross-sectional area of the core (mm2) - Aw : Winding window area (mm2) - Bsat : Core saturation flux density (tesla) Figure 2 shows the Ae and Aw of a core. The typical B-H characteristics of ferrite core from TDK (PC40) are shown in Figure 3. Since the saturation flux density (Bsat) decreases as the temperature increases, the high temperature characteristics should be considered. If there is no reference data, use Bsat =0.3~0.35 T.
(2) Determine the primary side inductance (Lm) of the transformer In order to determine the primary side inductance, the following variables should be determined first. (For a detailed design procedure, please refer to the application note AN4137.) - Pin : Maximum input power - fs : Switching frequency of FPS device - VDCmin : Minimum DC link voltage - Dmax : Maximum duty cycle - KRF : Ripple factor, which is defined at the minimum input voltage and full load condition, as shown in Figure 4. For DCM operation, KRF = 1 and for CCM operation KRF < 1. The ripple factor is closely related with the transformer size and the RMS value of the MOSFET current. Even though the conduction loss in the MOSFET can be reduced through reducing the ripple factor, too small a ripple factor forces an increase in transformer size. Considering both efficiency and core size, it is reasonable to set KRF = 0.3-0.5 for the universal input range and KRF = 0.4-0.8 for the European input range. Meanwhile, in the case of low power applications below 5W where size is most critical, a relatively large ripple factor is used in order to minimize the transformer size. In that case, it is typical to set KRF = 0.50.7 for the universal input range and KRF = 1.0 for the European input range.
Figure 2. Window Area and Cross Sectional Area
CCM operation : KRF < 1
I 2I EDC
Figure 4. MOSFET Drain Current and Ripple Factor (KRF)
Figure 3. Typical B-H characteristics of ferrite core (TDK/PC40)
With the given variables, the primary side inductance, Lm is obtained as
( V DC D max ) = --------------------------------------------2Pin f s KRF
where VDCmin is the minimum DC input voltage, Dmax is the maximum duty cycle, Pin is the maximum input power, fs is the switching frequency of the FPS device and KRF is the ripple factor. Once Lm is determined, the maximum peak current and RMS current of the MOSFET in normal operation are obtained as
(3) Determine the number of turns for each output Figure 6 shows the simplified diagram of the transformer, whrere Vo1 stands for the reference output that is regulated by the feedback control while Vo(n) stands for the n-th output. First, determine the turns ratio (n) between the primary side and the feedback controlled secondary side as a reference.
NP V R0 - = --------n = ------------------------V o1 + VF1 N s1
2 I 3 ( IEDC ) + --- 2 2
(2) D max ------------3 (7) (3) ( 4)
Pin IEDC = ------------------------------------min V DC D max

where Np and Ns1 are the number of turns for primary side and reference output, respectively, Vo1 is the output voltage and VF1 is the diode (DR1) forward voltage drop of the reference output that is regulated by the feedback control. Then, determine the proper integer for Ns1 so that the resulting Np is larger than Npmin obtained from equation (6). The number of turns for the other output (n-th output) is determined as

where Lm is the primary side inductance, Iover is the FPS pulse-by-pulse current limit level, Ae is the cross-sectional area of the core and Bsat is the saturation flux density in tesla. If the pulse-by-pulse current limit level of FPS is larger than the peak drain current of the power supply design, it may result in excessive transformer size since Iover is used in determining the minimum primary side turns as shown in equation (6). Therefore, it is required to choose a FPS with proper current limit specifications or to adjust the peak drain current close to Iover by increasing the ripple factor as shown in Figure 5. It is reasonable to design Idspeak to be 70-80% of Iover considering the transient response and tolerance of Iover.

where Vcc* is the nominal value of the supply voltage of the FPS device, and VFa is the forward voltage drop of Da as defined in Figure 6. Since Vcc increases as the output load increases, it is proper to set Vcc* as Vcc start voltage (refer to the data sheet) to avoid triggering the over voltage protection during normal operation.

Once the number of turns on the primary side have been determined, the gap length of the core is obtained through approximation as
NP 1 - -----G = 40 A e ------------------- 1000L m A L
other windings can act as Faraday shields. When the primary side winding has more than two layers, the innermost layer winding should start from the drain pin of FPS as shown in Figure 7. This allows the winding driven by the highest voltage to be shielded by other windings, thereby maximizing the shielding effect. (b) Vcc winding In general, the voltage of each winding is influenced by the voltage of the adjacent winding. The optimum placement of the Vcc winding is determined by the over voltage protection (OVP) sensitivity, the Vcc operating range and control scheme. -Over voltage protection (OVP) sensitivity : When the output voltage goes above its normal operation value due to some abnormal situation, Vcc voltage also increases. FPS uses Vcc voltage to indirectly monitor the over voltage situation in the secondary side. However, a RCD snubber network acts as an another output as shown in Figure 8 and Vcc voltage is also influenced by the snubber capacitor voltage. Because the snubber voltage increases as the drain current increases, OVP of FPS can be triggered not only by the output over voltage condition, but also by the over load condition. The sensitivity of over voltage protection is closely related to the physical distance between windings. If the Vcc winding is close to the secondary side output winding, Vcc voltage will change sensitively to the variation of the output voltage. Meanwhile, if the Vcc winding is placed close to the primary side winding, Vcc voltage will vary sensitively as the snubber capacitor voltage changes.
where AL is the AL-value with no gap in nH/turns2, Ae is the cross sectional area of the core as shown in Figure 2, Lm is specified in equation (1) and Np is the number of turns for the primary side of the transformer (4) Determine the wire diameter for each winding The wire diameter is determined based on the rms current through the wire. The current density is typically 5A/mm2 when the wire is long (>1m). When the wire is short with a small number of turns, a current density of 6-10 A/mm2 is also acceptable. Avoid using wire with a diameter larger than 1 mm to avoid severe eddy current losses as well as to make winding easier. For high current output, it is better to use parallel windings with multiple strands of thinner wire to minimize skin effect.

It is typical to place all the primary winding or a portion of the primary winding innermost on the bobbin. This minimizes the length of wire, reducing the conduction loss in the wire. The EMI noise radiation can be reduced, since the 4

- Vcc operating range : As mentioned above, Vcc voltage is influenced by the snubber capacitor voltage. Since the snubber capacitor voltage changes according to drain current, Vcc voltage can go above its operating range triggering OVP in normal operation. In that case, Vcc winding should be placed closest to the reference output winding that is regulated by feedback control and far from the primary side winding as shown in Figure 9.

(2) Winding method -Stacked winding on other winding: A common technique for winding multiple outputs with the same polarity sharing a common ground is to stack the secondary windings instead of winding each output winding separately, as shown in Figure 11. This approach will improve the load regulation of the stacked outputs and reduce the total number of secondary turns. The windings for the lowest voltage output provide the return and part of the winding turns for the next higher voltage output. The turns of both the lowest output and the next higher output provide turns for succeeding outputs. The wire for each output must be sized to accommodate its output current plus the sum of the output currents of all the output stacked on top of it. -Stacked winding on other output: If a transformer has a very high voltage and low current output, the winding can be stacked on the lower voltage output as shown in Figure 12. This approach provides better regulation and reduced diode voltage stress for the stacked output. The wire and rectifier diode for each output must be sized to accommodate its output current plus the sum of the output currents of all the output stacked on top of it.
- Control scheme : In the case of primary side regulation, the output voltages should follow the Vcc voltage tightly for a good output regulation. Therefore, Vcc winding should be placed close to the secondary windings to maximize the coupling of the Vcc winding with the secondary windings. Meanwhile, Vcc winding should be placed far from primary winding to minimize coupling to the primary. In the case of secondary side regulation, the Vcc winding can be placed between the primary and secondary or on the outermost position.
(c) Secondary side winding When it comes to a transformer with multiple outputs, the highest output power winding should be placed closest to the primary side winding, to reduce leakage inductance and to maximize energy transfer efficiency. If a secondary side winding has relatively few turns, the winding should be spaced to traverse the entire width of the winding area for improved coupling. Using multiple parallel strands of wire will also help to increase the fill factor and coupling for the secondary windings with few turns as shown in Figure 10. To maximize the load regulation, the winding of the output with tight regulation requirement should be placed closest to the winding of the reference output that is regulated by the feedback control.
D R2 Np N S2
the leakage inductance is a sandwich winding as shown in Figure 13. Secondary windings with only a few turns should be spaced across the width of the bobbin window instead of being bunched together, in order to maximize coupling to the primary. Using multiple parallel strands of wire is an additional technique of increasing the fill factor and coupling of a winding with few turns as shown in Figure 10.

A major source of common mode EMI in Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is the parasitic capacitances coupled to the switching devices. The MOSFET drain voltage drives capacitive current through various parasitic capacitances. Some portion of these capacitive currents flow into the neutral line that is connected to the earth ground and observed as common mode noise. By using an electrostatic separation shield between the windings (at primary winding side, or at secondary winding side, or both), the common mode signal is effectively "shorted" to the ground and the capacitive current is reduced. When properly designed, such shielding can dramatically reduce the conducted and radiated emissions and susceptibility. By using this technique, the size of EMI filter can be reduced. The shield can be easily implemented using copper foil or tightly wound wire. The shield should be virtually grounded to a quiescent point such as primary side DC link, primary ground or secondary ground. Figure 14 shows a shielding example, which allows the removal of the Y-capacitor that is commonly used to reduce common mode EMI. As can be seen, shields are used not only on the bottom but also on the top of the primary winding in order to cancel the coupling of parasitic capacitances. Figure 15 also shows the detailed shielding construction.
The winding order in a transformer has a large effect on the leakage inductance. In a multiple output transformer, the secondary with the highest output power should be placed closest to the primary for the best coupling and lowest leakage. The most common and effective way to minimize

(5) Practical examples of transformer construction
As described in the above sections, there many factors that should be considered in determining the winding sequence and winding method. In this section some practical examples of transformer construction are presented to give a comprehensive understanding of practical transformer construction.
a) LCD monitor SMPS example Figure 16 shows a simplified transformer schematic for typical LCD monitor SMPS. The 5V output is for the Microprocessor and 13V output is for the inverter input of LCD back light. While 5V output is regulated with the feedback control, 13V output is determined by the transformer turns ratio and a stacked winding is usually used to maximize the regulation.
Transformer construction Example A (Figure 17) : In this example, the leakage inductance is minimized by employing a sandwich winding. The Vcc winding is placed outside to provide shielding effect. Since the Vcc winding is placed on the top half of primary winding, the coupling between the Vcc winding and 5V output winding is poor, which may require a small dummy load on the 5V output to prevent UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) in the no load condition. Transformer construction Example B (Figure 18) : In this example, the leakage inductance is larger than example A, since a sandwich winding is not used. However, the Vcc winding is tightly coupled with the 5V output winding and Vcc remains its normal operation range in the no load condition. Even though this approach can prevent UVLO in no load conditions without dummy load, the power conversion efficiency might be relatively poor compared to example A due to the large leakage inductance.

Meanwhile, 5V and 6.5V outputs are auxiliary output having small output power. The 80V output winding is stacked on the 50V output to reduce the voltage stress of the rectifier diode (DR1).

Dozier describes coming to terms with Iraq's danger - Los Angeles Times
Dozier describes coming to terms with Iraq’s danger
By Matea Gold, Kimberly Dozier
Wounded CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier remained in critical but stable condition Thursday at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where doctors lessened her sedation, enabling her to communicate with her family for the first time.
Dozier’s first question, scribbled on a piece of paper: What happened to her crew?
Her family and doctors -- who had agreed to answer her honestly if she asked -- had to tell her that cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman James Brolan were killed by the same car bomb in Baghdad that left her with shrapnel wounds to her head and serious leg injuries.
In the days since Monday’s attack, many colleagues have recounted Dozier’s courage and unwavering determination to cover Iraq, despite the increasing risks. Here, in a piece she wrote for CBSNews.com in January after ABC’s Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt were seriously hurt by a roadside bomb, Dozier explained how she copes.
Matea Gold, Times staff writer
AMMAN, Jordan, on the way to Iraq, Jan. 30, 2006 -- You know how they say a frog will let itself be boiled alive, sitting placidly in a pot of bubbling water, if you turn the heat up slowly enough?
That used to be what Iraq was like for journalists. Over the past 2 1/2 years, the danger increased incrementally, with kidnappings, killings and bombings first hitting Iraqis, then U.S. soldiers, then foreign contractors and missionaries and foreign aid workers, before finally hitting us.
It took us a while to admit/recognize we were targets, and slowly start changing the way we work -- first adding bodyguards (who we initially resented, and tried to leave behind at the hotel), then armored vehicles (which we at first thought were a waste of cash), then blast walls outside our hotels (which many of us thought were the security people’s way of justifying their existence, and would only draw attention to us) and on and on.
In each case, the worst fears of our pessimist bosses and security advisors were later realized. I remember one of our ex-military security advisors musing that it wouldn’t be long until a commercial plane got hit by a missile at Baghdad’s airport.
Then a DHL plane got hit, and just barely managed to land, and later, a UK military cargo plane got taken out, killing up to a dozen on board. Ahem.
So now going into Iraq is like being flung into a pot of water you can see boiling from a great height from far, far away. Inwardly, you’re screaming, “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,” then stifle it with a mental, “Ulp.”
Every time, every time, before I fly in -- and like most of my colleagues, I’ve been coming here for 2 1/2 years now, so you’d think I’d be used to this -- I sleep with one eyeball peeled, staring at the alarm clock, counting the minutes until the plane takes off from Amman, Jordan, and half-holding my breath until our plane corkscrews down and touches the tarmac in Baghdad. Then there’s another slight breath-holding experience driving down the (admittedly now much safer, but still) airport road, before finally arriving, red-eyed and sleep-self-deprived, at our Baghdad hotel.
My mood instantly changes. I see all our Iraqi staff and some of the regular CBS “inmates,” the translators make fun of how much my Arabic has deteriorated while I’ve been away, we knock back some strong Arabic coffee, and I get to work. There are always a couple of startled moments, when a distant or nearby bomb makes me jump. But I quickly forget where I am (or rather, that it bothered me).
The water’s toasty, verging on the scalding, but I’m just fine.
That is, until I get myself and a cameraman, soundman and perhaps a producer invited on an U.S. military embed, or any trip across town with a U.S. commander, just like our ABC colleagues Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt did.
Then it starts all over again -- the eyeball glued to the alarm clock the night before the trip, counting the minutes until morning. Then there’s the armored car dash to our meeting point with the military (which often entails a round trip down the airport road, and you just know the insurgents know our cars by now, and they see us from their hiding places and say to themselves, “Oh, there go the Western TV journalists. We could go for them, but let’s see if we can get a Humvee or an Iraqi army patrol today instead.”)
We then spend the day rolling around Baghdad or nearby, with U.S. troops in Humvees, or more precariously, with their Iraqi counterparts in far less protected vehicles. We wrap up in a Kevlar vest, Kevlar helmet, ballistic eye protection and ear plugs -- the last two are recent additions in the past couple of years, after the U.S. military discovered they help save eyesight and hearing -- but that’s little comfort when the U.S. soldiers give their preliminary safety briefing before we go out with them.
It goes a little like this, usually a young sergeant to a bunch of privates: “OK, you know what to be on the look for. As usual, we’ve got the improvised explosive devices -- remember they’re hiding them in median strips again, but they’re still using all the other hiding places -- the garbage, the dead dogs and donkeys, etc.... “
... Almost every soldier I meet now has done at least one tour of Iraq, and is sometimes working on his or her second or third, and that means they’ve seen a lot of action. Almost every one has been hit by something. And while they may have walked away, they usually know someone who hasn’t.
It gives a whole new meaning to the expression, “Feel the fear, and do it anyway.” Wow, do they.
So basically, if you want to tell their story, you have to take their risks. To take the metaphor a little further, if we, the journalists, are sitting in hot water, the troops we cover are hopping around on hell’s coals. Even when we spend extended time with them, we face a tiny fraction of their risk.
So yes, absolutely, journalists face awful, dangerous risks in Iraq, more so than almost anyplace else on earth right now.
And knowing how Bob and Doug both can be direct to the extreme, they will likely shortly be telling all of us, when they get out of surgery, “Come off it, folks. We knew the risks, and that’s never stopped us from doing the job -- nor will it. Now let’s get back to work.”

May 2011 | Stroke of Faith
A note to end Stroke Awareness Month - an uplifting story about a man in Massachusetts and his struggle in recovery - for the last 10 years. Watch and learn.
Stroke survivor's journey back:
Larry Woodberry talks about his experience recovering from a stroke he had 10 years ago. Woodberry had to re-learn everything from speaking to holding a cup. Posted by
Despite the topic here, a stroke-dedicated blog is NOT a downer - here's some encouraging recent news about how the recurrent stroke, vascular event rate on decline during past 50 years: During a 50-year span, the annual event rate of strokes and major vascular events declined by roughly 1% per decade each, according to an analysis of nearly 60 secondary prevention trials. Posted by
-Romans 15:5-6For the last seven months, I've had some serious back problems - pain, sometimes searing pain, has certainly challenged my endurance as a runner and encouragement in general.
During Stroke Awareness Month, a good reminder... Many say they'd call 911 for stroke signs, but most don't: In a survey of 253 predominantly African American community volunteers in Washington, DC, 89% said they would call 911 at the first sign of stroke symptoms. However, in structured interviews with 100 hospitalized stroke patients (or proxy respondents) in the same city, only 12% reported actually calling 911 immediately at symptom onset.
The disconnect was "striking" when comparing what healthy participants said they would do hypothetically and what most actually did when faced with stroke symptoms, first study author Amie W. Hsia, MD, director of the Washington Hospital Center Stroke Center in Washington, DC, noted in a statement.
"The failure to act promptly contributes to delayed presentation, reduced opportunity for acute therapy, and greater stroke morbidity," Dr. Hsia and colleagues note in their report. They say further research is needed to "determine and conquer the barriers between behavioral intent and actual behavior to call 911."(Image from State of Montana 9-1-1 Home Page)
I'm running across more stories, from around the world, about stroke survivors. For Stroke Awareness Month, I'll highlight a few. Today, three stories: May is National Stroke Awareness Month — know the signs:
I didn’t want to believe it. I always thought strokes were for people in their 70s or 80s, not 42-year-old men. ...
May is National Stroke Awaerness month and it is important to know the signs:
They are — numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg - especially on one side of the body, confusion, trouble speaking or understanding, trouble seeing in one or both eyes, trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, and severe headache with no known cause. More than anything else, don’t hesitate to call 911. It saved my life.
Nearly five years later, God has blessed me with a second chance at life.I was having a stroke:
While I was in hospital, I did some research from my bed and came across the Irish Heart Foundation website, stroke.ie, which I found very helpful. I was very impressed with its FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) campaign, which raises awareness of the signs of stroke and the need to act fast. Stroke can happen to people of all ages, which is why it’s so important for everybody to be aware of the signs and symptoms.
Woman talks about locked-in syndrome during stroke awareness month
Eight years ago, the then-15-year-old basketball star started feeling dizzy at practice.
"Someone was like, 'Oh my gosh, whats wrong with her?'" she said. Then she started to slur her speech and was rushed to the emergency room.
"It was panic, pure panic. I thought I was going to die," she said.
These articles list some good info, from strike signs, what to do and stroke prevention.
From The Tennessean in Nashville, every 45 seconds, someone in America will fall victim of a stroke:
Getting help fast is the most important treatment for stroke, call 911.The longer you wait to get treatment, the more brain tissue can become damaged, often leaving permanent disability.From Brooklyn Eagle, a daily paper in Brooklyn: “Every second counts in the race to identify and treat stroke,” said Dr. Steven Rudolph, director of the Jaffe Stroke Center at Maimonides Medical Center. “The sooner we can make a diagnosis and start treatment, the more we improve our chances of minimizing damage to the brain. All of us should take a few minutes to learn the warning signs of stroke, so we can help someone we suspect may be experiencing this medical emergency by calling 911 right away.” ...
While some of the risk factors for stroke are hereditary, others are not. This means that each one of us can reduce vulnerability to stroke by being aware of our risk factors, including medical history and personal habits. Some risks can be reduced by living a healthier, more active lifestyle. Dr. Rudolph advises:
• Have your blood pressure checked regularly. • Eat a varied and balanced diet that relies heavily on vegetables, whole grains, fish, lean meats and fruit.
• Keep your weight under control.
• Monitor your blood cholesterol: you should try to lower the “lousy” kind known as LDL, and increase the “happy” kind known as HDL.
• Get moderate exercise on a regular basis (at least two and a half hours per week).
• Consult your doctor if you have a family history of stroke or high blood pressure to determine if you need additional assistance in prevention efforts.
This is Stroke Awareness Month, and one issue is the need for stroke care offered to all who need it, no matter where. However, specially trained neurologists are, sadly, not everywhere. One way to combat that challenge is from Washington State. Robot helper allows for real-time communication to save stroke victims: Hospitals in outlying areas, such as Ocean Beach Hospital, do not have a neurologist on staff who could make an assessment within this critical window, and that's where the telestroke robot comes in.
Young adults’ beliefs about their health clash with risky behaviors:
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in America.
Great stroke prevention advice from Consumer Reports
A good resource for Stroke Awareness Month, from Consumer Reports Health, includes a rundown on the latest guidelines for prevention: "We still have quite a ways to go toward controlling stroke risk factors," says Larry B. Goldstein, M.D., chairman of the group of experts who wrote the new stroke prevention guidelines and director of the Duke Stroke Center in Durham, N.C. "More than two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese and don't get adequate exercise, and only about 7 percent of people age 40 to 59 succeed in meeting the goals for four major cardiovascular risk factors—cholesterol, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, and smoking."
The guidelines, released online in December 2010, incorporate the latest research and advances in stroke prevention. Here are 11 effective strategies, including medical tactics to take and lifestyle adjustments to make.
The Centers Disease Control and Prevention just updated and posted some stroke-related materials for Stroke Awareness Month.
It includes statistics, stroke signs and symptoms, and more. Follow this link for some good resources: Although most strokes occur in people aged 65 years or older, strokes can occur at any age. For example, a new CDC study, Trends of Acute Ischemic Stroke Hospitalizations in the U.S.: 1994–2007, found that stroke hospitalizations increased among both males and females aged 5–44 years old, raising concern about this young population.
Knowing the symptoms of stroke and calling 9-1-1 immediately if someone appears to be having a stroke are crucial steps in getting prompt emergency medical care for a stroke. New treatments are available that can reduce the damage caused by a stroke for some victims, but these treatments need to be given soon after the symptoms start. (Photo from CDC)
As Stroke Awareness Month begins, a recap of several stroke awareness postings on this blog from the past year:
* Time is critical - for all concerned
* 'Yo, it’s a stroke rap, y'all'
* Strokes hit young people in rising numbers
* Not the best singing ever, but good info...
* Drug isn't always used to battle a stroke
* Needs for awareness, prevention are clear

SIMON WALTERS: Election came down to just one thing - Brexit | Daily Mail Online
SIMON WALTERS: This election came down to just one thing – Brexit
Published: 17:25 EST, 12 December 2019 | Updated: 18:01 EST, 12 December 2019
Forget about holding a second referendum. It just happened. Jeremy Corbyn did his cynical best to make the election about the NHS, with fake-news claims about Boris flogging it lock, stock and barrel to Donald Trump.
Admittedly, Johnson did himself few favours with his bumbling performance when put on the spot by a TV reporter over photos of a young boy sleeping on a hospital floor.
But it wasn’t the NHS that made millions brave driving rain to mark an ‘X’ with a stubby pencil.
For most Tories – and many former Labour voters – it was, in the words of the only three words the campaign will be remembered for, to ‘get Brexit done’.
Simon Walters writes that the election was all about Brexit. Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaking at Copper Box Arena in London in a last campaign effort the day before the General Election
And for Home Counties Tory Remainers egged on by Sir John Major, hectoring Jo Swinson’s Lib Dem Europhiles and Labour’s pro-Brussels London luvvies, it was to get Brexit undone.
The truth is that almost exactly three and a half years after the referendum the country is still deeply divided over whether the UK should leave the EU. Every party was tied in knots trying to grapple with Brexit fissures during the campaign.
Corbyn panicked when he realised his feeble fence-sitting was driving working-class Leavers in Labour’s so-called Red Wall of seats in the North into Boris’s arms.
NOW it's full steam ahead for Brexit: Tories launch... Furious Labour party turns on Jeremy Corbyn: Ousted MPs say...
A token pro-Leave Corbynista was sent North to try to curb the insurrection – and was greeted with a loud raspberry from one end of Hadrian’s Wall to the other.
Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer – a silken-tongued southern MP and arch-Remainer – was so invisible in the North he might as well have spent the campaign on Mars. But if you were a Labour supporter in pro-Remain Putney, south-west London, you could have been forgiven for thinking Starmer was Labour leader, not Corbyn.
Brexit party leader Nigel Farage pictured on the campaign trail in Hartlepool, the day before the general election
Starmer’s face, not Corbyn’s, was plastered all over one of the Putney Labour candidate’s leaflets in a straightforward attempt to milk the Remain vote and ‘Stop Brexit’.
Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson did the seemingly impossible when she was rejected by fellow Remainers who said her pledge to summarily revoke the Article 50 departure process from the EU made a mockery of the word ‘democrat’ in her party’s name.
She consoled herself by trying to wrestle the Foreign Secretary – karate black-belt Dominic Raab – out of his seat in Esher in the heavily Remain Surrey commuter belt.
Nigel Farage disappeared in a cloud of his own cigarette smoke when his Brexit Party supporters concluded he had become the biggest threat to his own declared objective.
Johnson got every Tory candidate to sign his Brexit pledge, but this did not prevent blood-letting between the Conservatives’ warring factions.
In Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, former Conservative attorney general Dominic Grieve, standing as an independent after being thrown out of the party for his one-man crusade to block Brexit, called Johnson a ‘pathological liar’.
Parliament is widely held to have failed to do its duty over Brexit, with endless dither, delay, bickering and back-biting that reduced a once great nation to a laughing stock.
If only Brexit cheerleader Boris had moved into No 10 after the referendum instead of Remainer Theresa May, we would have ‘got Brexit done’ three years ago and moved on, goes the argument.
Current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn pictured outside a polling station in his North Islington constituency in London
Before the referendum campaign began, veteran Brexiteer John Redwood told me it would be ‘the English Civil War without muskets’. That war lasted nine years, cost around 100,000 lives and split families for generations. But it but sowed the seeds for the nation’s future tolerance, prosperity and success.
The long-term consequences of Brexit may not be so profound. Most would settle for a decent trade deal with the EU, continued pet passports and controlled immigration while ensuring we have enough people to staff the NHS, care homes and the local Costa Coffee.
There has been vicious social-media abuse and threats to MPs on all sides. Tory Iain Duncan Smith received a dismembered rat through his letter box just days ago.
But staying in the EU has not prevented neo-Nazi protests in Merkel’s Germany and Gilets Jaunes riots in Macron’s France.
The Parliamentary deadlock in Westminster has been petty, agonising and frustrating – but in my view the extra three and a half years spent thrashing out a hugely complex issue have not all been wasted.
Most people who turned out yesterday had a greater understanding of Brexit than they did in June 2016, when few had heard of the Customs Union, let alone knew what it was – including some MPs I could mention.
Boris Johnson pictured with his rescue dog Dilyn as he heads to cast his ballot in London
If you wanted to vote for or against Brexit yesterday, there were guides on how to vote tactically in every seat.
Before the election was called, the depressing prospect (to me, anyway) of the UK spending much of 2020 fighting a long, bitter second referendum seemed increasingly likely.
With luck, it took place yesterday. And not a musket was fired.

Vagabond Scholar: Grayson Unleashed
Republicans are outraged over this presentation by Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL):
It's pointed, but it's pretty accurate. Digby has much more on this, including video of Republican representatives lying about death panels and Democrats attacking seniors (yes, after the GOP has tried to cut Medicare for years, and opposed its creation – they have no shame).
Grayson then went on CNN:
For the most part, the CNN crew just say they're shocked, shocked! The big issue for them is that Grayson was rude. Only Republican hack Alex Castellanos really tries to challenge Grayson's accuracy. Castellanos is full of it, of course, since the Republicans don't have any sort of comprehensive plan, just a few sound bites. That plan to shop for insurance across state lines? It won't save much money and could easily lead to increased consumer costs (via Digby).
DDay and John Amato have more on Grayson's CNN performance. I found Grayson's candor very refreshing. More like this, please.
Grayson did offer an "apology" of sorts (alas, the sound drifts out of synch):
Act Blue has set up a new page to donate to Grayson and show appreciation.

Our Leap of Faith: July 2008
The Chinese government has decided it will let us enter the country. We received our visas today. Included in the FedEx package from our agency were our passports with the cool looking Chinese visa inside.We are approved to enter China before July 24, 2009, and can stay for 60 days. It better not take until July 2009 for us to travel!! LOLNow, we are just waiting for TA and our I-171H renewal. Hopefully they will be coming soon!Kevin
This evening we had our first "Jacob event," as our workplace threw us a "send-off potluck" event. We had lots of food and answered a lot of questions about the adoption. The most frequent question was: "When are you going?" That we do not know, but we did get word from our agency today we will not be going through Beijing. Because of the Olympics and corresponding events, all travel to Beijing has been put on hold until after September (and we're not waiting that long Jake!) So we do not know where we'll be coming into China at when we travel.But back to the party. We enjoyed ourselves so much and the generosity of our friends to give us a Visa gift card to help us with our needs for Jacob. Kevin has been with the paper since 1988 and I have been there since 1993, and we both have practically lived there, so it is nice that our journey has the support of our coworkers and friends.On the way home, at 9:15 p.m., I wasn't going to stop, but their light was on. I stopped at a neighbor's home whom I had spoken to once but he didn't remember and I didn't remember his name. It was late, but I rarely have an evening because of work and other reponsibilities, that I can stop in on a neighbor, and I had ulterior motives. I really need to find some hay for my horse, and I thought he might help me. Well, he pulled out some chairs on his front porch, and we sat and chatted for nearly an hour. When I was growing up, people did that all the time, but not so much today in this hustle and bustle world. It was good to stop and meet a new friend.Today was a very good day.Violet
And best of all Friday was Violet's birthday.Happy birthday! I love you.Kevin
It's been a busy few days for us.We submitted our visa applications to Great Wall. China may or may not have an issue with our occupations. We both are journalists, and our travel coordinator at Great Wall said there have been instances in the past where China has raised some issues. We may have to have our employer submit a letter, I assume saying we are not going to China to cover any stories for the newspaper and that all we are doing is adopting a child. We should find out later next week if there are problems.We also sent a care package through ladybugsnlove.com to Jacob. We included some pictures of us, so hopefully we won't be total strangers when we go to China to get him.Today (Friday) we went to the USCIS office in Oklahoma City to get our fingerprints done for a new I-171H. It was a much more pleasant experience than the first time. The people in the office were so much nicer. They got our prints without too many problems. They did have to redo some, but they eventually got everything they needed.We did have one scare before we left. I looked at my fingerprint appointment form and saw they had messed up my Social Security number. A call to USCIS dispelled some of my fears. I was told it wouldn't be any problem and to tell the people taking our fingerprints. The woman who did that also didn't think it would be any problem. I hope so.I guess it's too much to ask that the rest of this adventure goes without a hitch. LOLKevin
The photos we posted of Jacob previously were the ones that came with the update we received. However, those were not the first photos we ever had of our son. Here are the first photos we received of the boy we knew then as Dang Wen Feng, the ones we fell in love with.
We got a call from Great Wall today on our way to work. They have our LOA (or LSC - Letter Seeking Confirmation - in their terms. It's all the same thing)! They will Fed Ex it to us tomorrow and we will sign it and send it back to them. They said we could be traveling at the end of August. OMG, it's real now!! It is happening.And, without further ado ...Here is our son Jacob.

High Court Derision | Don't Don't Don't
By dontdontdont	Brexit, Politics, uk, Uncategorized
David Cameron is the one who has caused this constitutional crisis, not the judiciary.
The decision handed down by the High Court today could not have been clearer. In four short sentences of the ruling summary the judges lay waste to the government’s position. “The court does not accept the argument put forward by the government. There is nothing in the 1972 Act [the 1972 European Communities Act] to support it,” they say.
The outcome was wholly predictable. The outrage at the ruling from the Mail, the Express, Douglas Carswell and others is due one of two possibilities. Either they are fundamentally ignorant of the constitution or, more likely, they are trying to provide a smokescreen to deflect away from the devastating blow that has been dealt to Theresa May’s always-untenable position on invoking Article 50 without the involvement of parliament.
In the immediate aftermath it has been plainly put that ‘Remainers’ will use the decision to derail the Brexit process. Insinuation like this makes one fundamental assumption which is entirely false: that a Brexit process exists at all.
When David Cameron’s government drafted and passed the legislation that brought about the 23rd June referendum he massively bottled it. He could have made the referendum binding, instead of advisory as was the case. It could have been an opportunity to put before parliament the various options for leaving, the possible material and constitutional impacts of a vote to leave. It would have been an opportunity to have a genuine, informed debate, with parliament playing its constitutional role of leading debate and providing for representation of the diverse constituencies of the country’s opinion.
Instead Cameron calculated that he would win the referendum, and that therefore the point was moot. We are all living with the legacy of Cameron’s self-serving, short-sighted political arrogance.
More importantly, in failing to meaningfully involve parliament Cameron set the clock ticking on today’s judgement. Though out of office because of his own cowardice, Cameron – along with May – has been served a basic political lesson by the judges. They are doing their job of interpreting the laws as set out by parliament, playing their own constitutional role. The point was so straightforward it is among the first A-Level poltics students learn. “The most fundamental rule of the UK’s constitution is that parliament is sovereign,” they wrote, as if it needed re-stating. This decision was written by Cameron, it has only been delivered by the judges. The tabloids are merely trying to shoot messengers.
One final word from the judges. “The court is not concerned with and does not express any views about the merits of leaving the European Union: that is a political question.” Anyone looking for someone to blame for the self-inflicted, needless and almost certainly paralysing constitutional crisis we’re in the midst of should look no further than those who do make decisions on political questions – and who in this desperate episode have been found so badly wanting.

calculus - Showing that $\log(n)^{\log(\log(n))} \in \mathcal{O}(n)$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange
$$\log(n)^{\log(\log(n))} \in \mathcal{O}(n)$$
where $n \in \mathbb{N}_{≥2}$, and $\mathcal{O}$ is the big-O-notation.
It seems like a relatively simply statement, but so far, I've had no luck. I first started with the limit $\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\log(n)^{\log(\log(n))}}{n}$. In order to show the statement, it would be sufficient to show that this limit is $< \infty$. I searched for any way to simplify the expression, but so far couldn't find any. Sure we can write the limit as $\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\log(n)}{n^{\frac{1}{\log(\log(n))}}}$, but that doesn't seem to help either.
Next I thought about considering the derivative of $\log(n)^{\log(\log(n))}$. If it's derivative is bounded, then it grows at most linearly, which would also show the statement. Unfortunately though, it's derivative is (according to Wolframalpha) $\frac{2 \log^{\log(\log(n))-1} (n)\log(\log(n))}{n}$ which looks even more complicated than the limit I wanted to examine before, and it is (to me at least) not visible right away why this derivative must be bounded.
I also thought about induction arguments. When looking at a graph of the function, I noticed that $\log(n)^{\log(\log(n))}$ gets more and more flat for higher $n$, so maybe I can use an induction argument by fixing a fitting $c \in \mathbb{R}_{> 0}$ and showing that $\log(n)^{\log(\log(n))} ≤ c n$ for almost all $n \in \mathbb{N}$?
The way this exercise was posed to me makes me think that I'm probably thinking way too complicated and that there is a much easier way to show the desired statement, but so far, I haven't found any way that works.

Set $e^t = \log n$. Then LHS grows as $e^{t^2}$ and RHS as $e^{e^{t}}$
answered May 21 '16 at 14:02
Assuming the logarithms are in base $2$ (this does not change anything, the argument would go as well if in another base, up to changing the $2$ to another number): You can write $$(\log n)^{\log \log n} = 2^{\log\log n\cdot \log \log n} = 2^{(\log \log n)^2}$$ and $n = 2^{\log n}$. Thus, $$ 0 \leq \frac{(\log n)^{\log \log n}}{n} = 2^{(\log \log n)^2-\log n} \xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{}0 $$ as $(\log \log n)^2 = o(\log n)$ (so that the exponent goes to $-\infty$). This implies $\frac{(\log n)^{\log \log n}}{n}$ is bounded, and therefore that $(\log n)^{\log \log n} = O(n)$.
We want to compare $e^{(\log\log n)^2}$ and $e^{\log n}$. Knowing that $$ \sup _{x\geq 1} \frac{\log(x)}{x} = e^{-1}, $$ we have $$ \frac{(\log\log n)^2}{\log n} = \left(\frac{2\log(\sqrt{\log n})}{\sqrt{\log n}} \right)^2\leq 4e^{-2} =:c < 1 $$ and thus $$ (\log n)^{\log\log n}=e^{(\log\log n)^2}\leq e^{c\log n}=n^c, $$ which slightly better then $(\log n)^{\log\log n}\in \mathcal O(n)$.
