Eyebrow Threading: What is it?
Well-maintained eyebrow shapes define the eyes and add to their beauty. Unfortunately, very few of us have perfect eyebrows, that do not need additional treatment. And the best way to have beautiful eyebrows is by means of eyebrow threading. So, what is eyebrow threading and how is it done? As the name goes, it is the technique of removing hair strands from the eyebrows with the help of a cotton thread. Threading can also be practiced to remove body hair, unwanted facial hair or upper lip hair.
The objective of eyebrow threading is to reduce the size of bushy eyebrows and shape them, so that they become clear and distinct. With such a hair removal method, you can flaunt different eyebrow shapes that complement your face structure. During the process, a piece of strong cotton thread is twisted in the form of a double strand. The same thread is laid over the brows to grab hold of the hair, along a line, and remove it. The after-result of properly threaded eyebrows is a well-defined shape.
Eyebrow Threading: Instructions
Eyebrow threading service is available in nearly all beauty salons. So, you can avail the same from a salon expert. First, discuss the eyebrow shape and size, which will look perfect in your face. Consider taking suggestions from the beautician to decide a proper shape for your brows. You can understand better about what is eyebrow threading after going through the instructions. The following are some tips on how to thread eyebrows.
- Before eyebrow threading, some people apply baby powder lightly over the brows to absorb the excess oil. This eyebrow care tip increases the gripping action of the thread.
- Hold one end of the thread (say 24 inch length) between the teeth, and the remaining end with the left hand. In doing so, make a loop in the near-middle of the string by twisting several times.
- Position the thumb and index finger of the right hand in the loop. Place the loop over the eyebrow side to be threaded, and pick up a line from the lower portion.
- Roll over the thread to remove hair as the twist thread portion moves along. Repeat the same for the hair in the lower portion. Then move to the center and upper eyebrows.
- Repeat the same eyebrow threading instruction for the other side. If required, the beautician trims the brows with scissors for a more pronounced shape.
- After eyebrow threading is over, a topical cream is applied over the brows to reduce swelling and inflammation. As it doesn't involve using creams or chemical based products, threading is a safer method than other hair removal techniques.
So, this was all about what is eyebrow threading. If you are impressed with this hair removal technique and would like to go for the same, then get it done by a salon expert. Otherwise, threading by an inexperienced person can spoil the shape of eyebrows, and you will need to wait for a long time, till your eyebrows grow for the next threading session.

The workshop Sensing Collectives investigated aesthetic practices as the doing (and undoing) of sensorial perceptions and political practices as the doing (and undoing) of collective subjectivities and agencies. Simply put, aesthetic practices shape or disrupt collective ways of sensing; political practices mobilize or contest collective identities and interests of groups of people.

Create standard statistical graphs from SAS/IML
Last week I showed how to use the SUBMIT and ENDSUBMIT statements in the SAS/IML language to call the SGPLOT procedure to create ODS graphs of data that are in SAS/IML vectors and matrices. I also showed how to create a SAS/IML module that hides the details and enables you to create a plot by using a single statement.
Wouldn't it be great if someone used these ideas to write SAS/IML modules that enable you to create frequently used statistical graphics like bar charts, histograms, and scatter plots?
Someone did! SAS/IML 12.3 (which shipped with SAS 9.4) includes five modules that enable you to create basic statistical graphs. The modules are named for a corresponding SGPLOT statement, as follow:
 - The BAR subroutine creates a bar chart of a categorical variable. If you specify a grouping variable, you can create stacked or clustered bar charts. You can control the ordering of the categories in the bar chart.
 - The BOX subroutine creates a box plot of a continuous variable or multiple box plots when you also specify a categorical variable. You can control the ordering of the categories in the box plot.
 - The HISTOGRAM subroutine creates a histogram of a continuous variable. You can overlay a normal density or kernel density estimate. You can control the arrangement of bins in the histogram.
 - The SCATTER subroutine creates a scatter plot of two continuous variables. You can color markers according to a third grouping variable, and you can specify labels for markers.
 - The SERIES subroutine creates a series plot, which is sometimes called a line plot. You can specify a grouping variable to overlay multiple line plots.
You can watch a seven-minute video that shows examples of statistical graphs that you can create by using these subroutines. The SAS/IML documentation also contains a new chapter on these statistical graphs.
Examples of creating statistical graphs
Because the video does not enable you to copy and paste, the rest of this article shows SAS/IML statements that create some of the graphs in the video. You can modify these statements to display new data, add or delete options, and so forth.
The video examples use data from the Sashelp.Cars data set, which contains information about 428 cars, trucks, and SUVs. The following statements read the data and create five SAS/IML vectors: three categorical variables (Model, Type, and Origin) and two continuous variables (MPG_City and Weight):
proc iml;
use Sashelp.Cars where(type? {"SUV" "Truck" "Sedan"});
read all var {Model Type Origin MPG_City Weight};
close Sashelp.Cars;
The following statement creates a clustered bar chart of the Origin variable, grouped by the Type variable:
title "Clustered Bar Chart";
call Bar(Origin) group=Type groupopt="Cluster" grid="Y";
The graph shows the number of vehicles in the data that are manufactured in Asia, Europe, and the US. The graph shows that there are no European trucks in the data and that each region produces more than 75 sedans.
You can create a box plot that shows the relative fuel economy for vehicles that are manufactured in each of the three regions:
title "Box Plot with Data Labels";
call Box(MPG_City) category=Origin option="spread" datalabel=putc(Model,"$10.");
The box plots show that the average and median fuel economy of Asian vehicles is greater than for European and US-built vehicles. Outliers are labeled by using the first 10 characters of the Model variable. Outliers that would otherwise overlap are spread horizontally.
You can use a histogram to visualize the distribution of the MPG_City variable. The following statement creates a histogram and overlays a normal and kernel density estimate:
title "Histogram with Density Curves";
call Histogram(MPG_City) density={"Normal" "Kernel"} rebin={0 5};
The normal curve does not fit the data well. The kernel density estimate shows three peaks because many vehicles get about 20 mpg, about 25 mpg, and about 30 mpg.
You can create a scatter plot that shows the relationship between fuel economy and the weight of a vehicle. The following statement creates a scatter plot and colors each marker according to whether it represents a sedan, truck, or SUV.
title "Scatter Plot with Groups";
run Scatter(Weight, MPG_City) group=Type;
The scatter plot shows that lighter vehicles tend to have better fuel economy. Sedans, which tend to be relatively light, often have better fuel economy than trucks and SUVs.
The Sashelp.Cars data set is not appropriate for demonstrating a series plot. The following statements evaluate the standard normal probability density function on the range [-5, 5] and call the SERIES subroutine to visualize the density function. Two vertical reference lines are overlaid on the plot.
x = do(-5, 5, 0.1);
Density = pdf("Normal", x, 0, 1);
title "Series Plot with Reference Lines";
call Series(x, Density) other="refline -2 2 / axis=x" grid={X Y};
This article has briefly described five SAS/IML subroutines in SAS/IML 12.3 that enable you quickly to create ODS statistical graphs from data in vectors or matrices. The routines are not intended to be a complete interface to the SGPLOT procedure. Rather, the routines expose common options for frequently used statistical graphs. If you want to create more complicated graphs that use more esoteric options, you can use the techniques from my previous post to write your own SAS/IML modules that create the exact graph that you need.

Simulate many samples from a logistic regression model
My last blog post showed how to simulate data for a logistic regression model with two continuous variables. To keep the discussion simple, I simulated a single sample with N observations. However, to obtain the sampling distribution of statistics, you need to generate many samples from the same logistic model. This article shows how to simulate many samples efficiently in the SAS/IML language. The example is from my book Simulating Data with SAS.
The program in my previous post consists of four steps. (Or five, if you count creating a data set as a separate step.) To simulate multiple samples, put a DO loop around Step 4, the step that generates a random binary response vector from the probabilities that were computed for each observation in the model. The following program writes a single data set that contains 100 samples. Each sample is identified by an ordinal variable named SampleID. The data set is in the form required for BY-group processing, which is the efficient way to simulate data with SAS.
%let N = 150; /* N = sample size */
%let NumSamples = 100; /* number of samples */
proc iml;
call randseed(1);
X = j(&N, 3, 1); /* X[,1] is intercept */
/* 1. Read design matrix for X or assign X randomly.
 For this example, x1 ~ U(0,1) and x2 ~ N(0,2) */
X[,2] = randfun(&N, "Uniform");
X[,3] = randfun(&N, "Normal", 0, 2);
/* Logistic model with parameters {2, -4, 1} */
beta = {2, -4, 1};
eta = X*beta; /* 2. linear model */
mu = logistic(eta); /* 3. transform by inverse logit */
/* create output data set. Output data during each loop iteration. */
varNames = {"SampleID" "y"} || ("x1":"x2"); /* 1st col is ID */
Out = j(&N,1) || X; /* matrix to store simulated data */
create LogisticData from Out[c=varNames];
y = j(&N,1); /* allocate response vector */
do i = 1 to &NumSamples; /* the simulation loop */
 Out[,1] = i; /* update value of SampleID */
 call randgen(y, "Bernoulli", mu); /* 4. simulate binary response */
 Out[,2] = y;
 append from Out; /* 5. output this sample */
end; /* end loop */
close LogisticData;
You can call PROC LOGISTIC and specify the SampleID variable on the BY statement. This will produce a set of 100 statistics. The union is an approximate sampling distribution for the statistics. The following call to PROC LOGISTIC computes 100 parameter estimates and saves them to the PE data set.
options nonotes;
proc logistic data=LogisticData noprint outest=PE;
 by SampleId;
 model y(Event='1') = x1 x2;
options notes;
Notice that the call to PROC LOGISTIC uses the NOPRINT option (and the NONOTES option) to suppress unnecessary output during the simulation.
You can use PROC UNIVARIATE to examine the sampling distribution of each parameter estimate. Of course, the parameter estimates also have correlation with each other, so you might also be interested in how the estimates are jointly distributed. You can use the CORR procedure to analyze and visualize the pairwise distributions of the estimates.
In the following statements, I do something slightly more complicated. I use PROC SGSCATTER to create a matrix of pairwise scatter plots of the parameter estimates, with the true parameter values overlaid on the estimates. It requires extra

How Variable Naming Can Significantly Impact Your Teams Productivity
How Variable Naming Can Significantly Impact Your Teams Productivity
What does kunnr mean? Anybody? If you've worked with SAP than you might know but to everyone else good luck. What about rqnb? Does it mean anything to you? Isn't it obvious to you that rqnb represents a request number? Seriously though, why do people name their variables so cryptically?
Think about it a little, how much easier would the code be if the variable was named requestNumber instead of rqnb? And for those of you who think it will save a few keystrokes, hence make your typing faster, remember that each time you use the variable you have to remember how to abbreviate it. With one variable it's not so bad, but when you have dozens, you're always looking up the different variable names.
Still don't believe me that it makes a large difference, tell me what the code example below does (ignoring all exception handling):
public static void chPd(uId, oP, nP)
 Usr u = UsrDB.getPrf(uId);
 u.chPd(oP, nP));
You might have a chance with that one because it's similar to the Unix/Linux command line tools. But what about the following more complex case:
function clcMtPy($mtAmt, $ct, $intRt, $nPt)
 $mInt = clcMtInt($ct, $intRt);
 $mPym = $mtAmt * $mInt;
 if($mPym > 0)
 $mPym = $mPym / (1 - pow((1 + $mInt), - ($nPt)));
 return $mPym;
How easy was that to read? You probably didn't get the meaning of what's happening in the first pass, or even the nth pass. And nor should you. But that's how a lot of code is written. What if instead it was written as:
function calculateMonthlyPayment($mortgageAmount, $country, $interestRate, $numberOfPayments)
 $monthlyInterest = monthlyInterest($country, $interestRate);
 $monthlyPayment = $mortgageAmount * $monthlyInterest;
 if($monthlyPayment > 0)
 $monthlyPayment = $monthlyPayment / (1 - pow((1 + $monthlyInterest), - ($numberOfPayments)));
 return $monthlyPayment;
How much easier is that to understand? Sure in the cryptic example, once you get a good handle on what's going on it makes sense, but how long did it take compared to the last example. And How many times did you have to re-remember which variable represented what?
Isn't the last example much much friendlier? Couldn't almost anyone jump in and understand right away. How much time is spent in the first two examples just understanding what's what? And that's with abbreviated names, what if I had just used one letter variables? Don't get me started on that. Ever try to search for instances of a variable that's one letter? Try searching for the variable "u" (used in the first example) on this webpage. How many hits did you get before you found it? Good luck with that!
By the way, this code is actually a real life snippet of code from our free real estate analyzer. Although our main LandlordMax application is written in Java (Swing), the free real estate property analyzer is written in PHP. Not that it really matters, this code isn't really language dependent. (And please note that I've removed all code dealing with currency and doubles for clarity).
In any case, all this to say be careful when you name your variables. Don't think in the now, think beyond. Think about tomorow and the next person. Make everyone's lives easier. Yes it might make your code more verbose, but it also makes it readable! It's well worth the cost.

 I have to agree. For the guys that are worried about the longer time taken in coding, why not just do a Ctrl-H on each of the shortened variable names after you're happy the code works, just replace the short ones with names that makes sense, and the next person that has to work on the code will be so much more productive.

 Completely agree. Standards are important, especially when working with a team. I like our team to code in very similar ways so that when we open another's code it's like looking at something we ourselves would write. This includes: var naming, denoting scope (_privateVar), organization of variables and methods, commenting properly, # of tabs, and so on.
 I'm working on living documents at work right now that define our standards for our development as a whole. Agreed upon folder naming structures for deploying websites, file-naming, deploying via subversion and what-not. What you name things is important and often required (in the case of say working with a framework).

 I agree, its not just the case with PHP but most languages. Its so much easier to read words rather than try to decrypt some one else's acronyms. I try to not use abbreviations but, some times find myself using shortcuts like Dir instead of Directory. 🙁

 Nice article, Steph. I've been arguing this for years. Glad to hear there are others who can see it too. It gets even more complex with function calls etc as well when they are cryptic. One should be able to intuit a call for crying out loud, but so often I've seen them structured along the same lines as variables – cryptic as all get out.
 - Izkata
 · August 17th, 2008 · 12:47 pm · Permalink
 Even a simple "ReqNum" is far more obvious for one of your first examples, and still retains a lot of space.
 - Steph
 · August 17th, 2008 · 12:58 pm · Permalink
 Hi Izkata,
 Yes, ReqNum is much more obvious, but I'm going to say it's still not enough. And here's why:
 1. What if you have 10 other variables, all abbr. Are you going to remember what they all mean? You'll still have to keep looking them up. If you don't believe me, as someone to pick for you a random chunk of open source code and do a string find/replace on all the variables within a decent method (it has to be code you've never seen). Easier, but it still requires more effort than it should.
 2. Again, do the same, ask someone to set up some sample code for you. Now try to add some code. When you type in the variables, are you able to remember the exact characters in each or do you have to look up what the abbreviations are each time? Could it be ReqNum, ReqNb, RqNum, RequestNum, ReqNo, etc. There's just so many rules to abbr. that you need to look it up. With fully qualified names, it's always the full spelling 😉
 - Steph
 · August 17th, 2008 · 1:00 pm · Permalink
 And thanks everyone for the great comments!
 Fully qualified names are slowly starting to become more and more the "way" to code. I can't wait until it's the standard!
 - ben

 > Fully qualified names
 You know what would be great is to see some benchmarks on using longer fully qualified var-names versus short guys. I for one love fully qualified names, and IDEs with auto-complete and snippet/macros like Textmate, Zend, et al make it easy to type and re-type variables and function names so "type to write" should be less of a factor.

THE HILL FAMILY AND CALLAHAN COUNTY
All families have their histories, the usual cycles of life – those events such as deaths, births, marriages etc.
that perpetuate the family line. But often lost in the mist of time, are those events that may have been
pivotal for some families. Accounts of these incidents often become blurred over time as the stories are
handed down from one generation to the next, be these events of fortune, or misfortune. And so it was
with the Hill family that lived in Callahan County between 1877 and 1890.
Occasionally, fate is kind and allows many elements and circumstances to come together affording us the
opportunity to revisit a moment in time. Such is the case with a story which circulated in our family
involving our great uncle who was apparently shot to death by a neighbor's son in 1889. My brother and I
have spent several years doing family research and eventually we decided to check out this story.
Consequently, we pulled together information from a variety of sources (i.e;census records, land deed
searches, birth and death records, trial transcripts and visiting a fair share of cemeteries)
I will begin by introducing you to some of the players in this story beginning with a few members of the
Hill family who lived in Callahan County and other people in the area as well.
Our great grandparents were Pharoah and Susan Hill. They were land
owners and residents of the Admiral area since 1877. They lived just
south of the Admiral cemetery. They had also owned properties in east
Texas, Tennessee and Alabama. He also had a brother who lived
in Kerrvillle, Texas. Pharoah was born in 1829 and his wife Susan
(Middleton) in 1833. Both had roots in Alabama. But Pharoah's line of
the Hill family as a whole started its long history with Texas in 1846.
Although Pharoah and Susan had a total of 12 children, we'll only
mention a few which had connections in Callahan County. Three of
their children still living with them in Admiral was a daughter, Sallie
Hill. She died in 1887 at age 19 and is buried in Admiral cemetery.
There was also their youngest son, Farrar (Fad) Hill whom I was named after in 1947. He was born in 1875 in Rusk. And Araminta Hill
born in 1873 in Rusk.
Our grandparents were Elbert and Emma Hill (Elbert being
another of Pharoah's sons and my younger brother was named
after him). Elbert and Emma were also property owners living
just west of the Admiral cemetery.. Elbert was born in 1860 at
Rusk, Texas and his wife, Emma (Pearce) was born in Orange County Texas in 1861.
Elbert and Emma w/our father in Emma's lap
Pharoah's oldest son was John R. Hill whose land was located just south of
cemetery. Just a few months after his sister Sallie died in 1887, he married
Sophie Martin. She was born to H.C. and Ophelia Martin in Sanatobia,
Mississippi in 1869. John and Sophie are both buried at Admiral cemetery.
And nearby is where our story really begins – just how John came to be
buried at Admiral at the young age of 35, by other than natural causes.
A brief article appeared in the Baird Weekly Star, dated Thursday, December 12, 1889. It reads
as follows: "News came last night from Deep Creek that young Harris, son of R J Harris had shot John Hill.
Hill was shot twice, but whether seriously or not is not known. Dr. Powell was called to see the wounded
man. No particulars. Later – Bust Harris came in with his father this morning and surrendered to the
Sheriff. The shooting occurred yesterday at R J Harris' place on Deep Creek. Just before going to press
news came that John Hill is dead."
Our research yielded the following: Sometime shortly before sunset on Wednesday, December 11th, 1889,
four shots rang out from a .45 caliber pistol in the feed lot of the Harris Ranch south of Baird near Admiral.
John R. Hill had ridden to the ranch and verbally confronted J.H. (Buster) Harris (about 17 years old). The
argument centered around a criminal charge J.H. had filed against John, accusing him of carrying a pistol at
Morgan's Thresher some months before. The trial transcripts indicate that during the encounter at the
Harris ranch, John never dismounted his horse. After an exchange of words with J.H., John reined his horse
around to leave. After doing so, J.H. fired his pistol at John four times and striking him twice. One bullet
struck his hip pocket but did no damage as the bullet struck a coin that was in his hip pocket. The 2nd bullet
went through his left thigh lodging itself into the saddle. John managed to remain mounted on his horse and
continued on his way home but only made it as far as his father-in-law's, H.C Martin. The local physician,
Dr. R.G. Powell, who was summoned to Martin's home that same evening, evaluated John's wound as non-
life threatening . However, since X-Rays had not yet come into being, there was no way Dr. Powell
would've known that the bullet had severed a main artery. John bled to death by the next morning (Dec.
12, 1889). He was buried at Admiral Cemetery.
Census records and land deeds indicate John lived in the Admiral area since about 1877. He listed his
occupation as a "farmer" but was also known to raise livestock along with his father Pharoah , primarily
horses and cattle! His parents, Pharoah and Susan Hill ; two brothers, Elbert and Fad and two sisters,
Aramenta and Sallie were also residents in the vicinity of Admiral. Another brother, George, was living in
Ft Mc Kavett, Texas.
At the time of John's death in December of 1889, his wife Sophie, was pregnant with their second child,
John Henry Hill. Their first child died in May of 1888. John Henry would live to be about 64 and was
married at least twice. He died in 1953 and is buried in Ross (Baird) Cemetery. To date we have been
unable to locate any children of John Henry's.
About 3 ½ yrs prior to John's death, he donated 2 acres of his land to School District #7. However, further
research my brother did showed it was apparently never used for that purpose. John's 20 year old widow,
Sophie spent the remainder of her life in the Baird area, presumably with the Martin family. She died in
1941 following complications from gall bladder surgery and is buried in the Admiral Cemetery , in the
Martin family plot along the Eastern fence line. Apparently there was no space left to bury her next to her
husband as an access road passes immediately to the right of John's grave.
Sallie, John's 19 year old sister, died of influenza in 1887, about 2 years before his own death. She is
buried a few yards south in the same row as John and the Hill babies at Admiral. In fact, John had
purchased and installed Sallie's tombstone in September of 1889, just weeks before he was killed. The
tombstone was ordered from John A. Bergin & Son's Fort Worth Marble Works for the sum of $25.00.
Three Hill infants are buried at Admiral. Willie and Winnie were born to Elbert and Emma Hill. And one
infant that was born to John and Sophie Hill. John is buried next to his infant.
A trial was held in Baird on Nov 7th, 1890 charging J.H. Harris with John's murder. About seventeen
witnesses were called. The trial took one day and the jury returned with a verdict the following day. This
resulted in a 2nd degree Murder conviction and J.H. (Buster) Harris was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment.
However, his conviction was overturned 2 years later by the Texas Appellate Court based on improper jury
instruction. Upon J.H.'s release he returned to Callahan County and eventually married Amanda. They
would have two children. But it seems J.H. outlived both his children and his wife. J.H. died in July of
1953. The Harris gravesites are only a few yards from John's gravesite.
There are five individuals buried at Admiral cemetery who were summoned to testify at Harris' trial. Those
were George Weeks (a close friend of John's), H.C. Martin (John's father-in-law), Ophelia Martin (John's
mother-in-law) , J.P. Ligons, and R.J. Harris (J.H.'s father).
Other Callahan County residents who testified included R.G. Powell, Elbert Hill (John's brother), A.L.
Brickerstaff, Cyrus Campbell, Gabe Smart, J.R. McClusky, Ben Williams, John Boren, J.D. Mitchell and
The District attorney prosecuting the case was B.D. Hopkins. The defense attorneys were J.E. Thomson
and John Bowyer. The court clerk was A.N. Jackson and the Jury Foreman was W.L. Lovelady. The Justice
of the Peace was E.K. Kane and the Sheriff was J.W. Jones. The presiding Judge hearing the Harris case in
Baird was J.H. Conner.
Just down the road (FM2228) at the Callahan City cemetery are three other individuals who testified. They
were Cornelius Estes, John Mathews and William Maltby.
Within months of Johns death, Elbert and Emma moved on to Sonora, Texas where eventually our father
and his sister was born. By

text: With the advent of deep learning algorithms, fully automated radiological image analysis is within reach. In spine imaging, several atlas- and shape-based as well as deep learning segmentation algorithms have been proposed, allowing for subsequent automated analysis of morphology and pathology. The first Large Scale Vertebrae Segmentation Challenge (VerSe 2019) showed that these perform well on normal anatomy, but fail in variants not frequently present in the training dataset. Building on that experience, we report on the largely increased VerSe 2020 dataset and results from the second iteration of the VerSe challenge (MICCAI 2020, Lima, Peru). VerSe 2020 comprises annotated spine computed tomography (CT) images from 300 subjects with 4142 fully visualized and annotated vertebrae, collected across multiple centres from four different scanner manufacturers, enriched with cases that exhibit anatomical variants such as enumeration abnormalities (n=77) and transitional vertebrae (n=161). Metadata includes vertebral labelling information, voxel-level segmentation masks obtained with a human-machine hybrid algorithm and anatomical ratings, to enable the development and benchmarking of robust and accurate segmentation algorithms.

Objective—To determine the prevalence of circumcaval ureters and other caudal vena cava variations in cats and determine whether circumcaval ureters were associated with macroscopic evidence of ureteral obstruction.
Sample—301 domestic cat cadavers obtained from an animal shelter.
Procedures—All cat cadavers were examined, and anatomic variations of the ureters and caudal vena cava were recorded. In cadavers with a circumcaval ureter, kidney length, width, and height were measured, and the ureters were examined macroscopically to determine whether there was gross evidence of ureteral obstruction in cats with circumcaval ureters.
Results—At least 1 circumcaval ureter was present in 106 of the 301 (35.2%) cats, with a right circumcaval ureter identified in 92 (30.6%) cats, a left circumcaval ureter identified in 4 (1.3%), and bilateral circumcaval ureters identified in 10 (3.3%). Twenty-one (7.0%) cats had a double caudal vena cava, including 2 cats in which the double caudal vena cava was the only anatomic abnormality identified. No sex predilection for anatomic abnormalities was found. Mean right kidney length was significantly greater than mean left kidney length in cats with a right circumcaval ureter.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Circumcaval ureter was present in approximately a third of cats in this study. Variation in the development of the caudal vena cava is the proposed cause. The clinical relevance of this variation is unknown.
To radiographically compare patellar ligament length (PLL) in dogs undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) for unilateral cranial cruciate ligament rupture at preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up evaluations.
105 dogs that underwent TPLO for unilateral cranial cruciate ligament rupture at a referral veterinary hospital from October 1, 2008, through November 30, 2017.
Medical records were reviewed to obtain information on dog signalment, surgical procedure, and radiographically measured PLL at preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up evaluations.
Dogs undergoing TPLO had a shorter PLL at the postoperative and follow-up evaluations, compared with the PLL at the preoperative evaluation. Mean ± SD overall unadjusted PLL decreased significantly by 2.3 ± 3.4% between the preoperative and postoperative evaluation and by 2.8 ± 3.9% between the preoperative and follow-up evaluation. The PLL did not differ significantly between the postoperative and follow-up evaluation; mean PLL decreased by 0.4 ± 3.8% between the postoperative and follow-up evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The PLL was shorter after TPLO in dogs, which was similar to changes observed for humans after high tibial osteotomy procedures. Further evaluation of clinical assessments, joint mobility, ultrasonographic assessments, and kinematic results are needed to determine the relevance of the PLL and whether a decrease in ligament length results in decreased mobility and persistent lameness in dogs, as has been reported for humans.

have some tweaking to do in the next section.)
For the Xylotex, the setup and hold times are very short, 200nS each (0.2uS). The longest time is the 2uS high time. If you have 11uS latency, then you can set the BASE_PERIOD as low as 11+2=13uS. Getting rid of the long 20uS hold time really helps! With a period of 13uS, a complete step takes 2x13 = 26uS, and the maximum step rate is 38,461 steps per second!
But you can't start celebrating yet. Note that 13uS is a very short period. If you try to run the step generator every 13uS, there might not be enough time left to run anything else, and your computer will lock up. If you are aiming for periods of less than 25uS, you should start at 25uS or more, run LinuxCNC, and see how things respond. If all is well, you can gradually decrease the period. If the mouse pointer starts getting sluggish, and everything else on the PC slows down, your period is a little too short. Go back to the previous value that let the computer run smoothly.
In this case, sppose you started at 25uS, trying to get to 13uS, but you find that around 16uS is the limit - any less and the computer doesn't respond very well. So you use 16uS. With a 16uS period and 11uS latency, the shortest output time will be 16-11 = 5uS. The drive only needs 2uS, so you have some margin. Margin is good - you don't want to lose steps because you cut the timing too close.
What is the maximum step rate? Remember, two periods to make a step. You settled on 16uS for the period, so a step takes 32uS. That works out to a not bad 31,250 steps per second.
In the last section, we got the Xylotex drive to a 16uS period and a 31,250 step per second maximum speed. But the Gecko was stuck at 31uS and a not-so-nice 16,129 steps per second. The Xylotex example is as good as we can make it. But the Gecko can be improved.
The problem with the G202 is the 20uS hold time requirement. That plus the 11uS latency is what forces us to use a slow 31uS period. But the LinuxCNC software step generator has some parameters that let you increase the various time from one period to several. For example, if steplen is changed from 1 to 2, then it there will be two periods between the beginning and end of the step pulse. Likewise, if dirhold is changed from 1 to 3, there will be at least three periods between the step pulse and a change of the direction pin.
If we can use dirhold to meet the 20uS hold time requirement, then the next longest time is the 4.5uS high time. Add the 11uS latency to the 4.5uS high time, and you get a minimum period of 15.5uS. When you try 15.5uS, you find that the computer is sluggish, so you settle on 16uS. If we leave dirhold at 1 (the default), then the minimum time between step and direction is the 16uS period minus the 11uS latency = 5uS, which is not enough. We need another 15uS. Since the period is 16uS, we need one more period. So we change dirhold from 1 to 2. Now the minimum time from the end of the step pulse to the changing direction pin is 5+16=21uS, and we don't have to worry about the Gecko stepping the wrong direction because of latency.
If the computer has a latency of 11uS, then a combination of a 16uS base period, and a dirhold value of 2 ensures that we will always meet the timing requirements of the Gecko. For normal stepping (no direction change), the increased dirhold value has no effect. It takes two periods totalling 32uS to make each step, and we have the same 31,250 step per second rate that we got with the Xylotex.
The 11uS latency number used in this example is very good. If you work through these examples with larger latency, like 20 or 25uS, the top step rate for both the Xylotex and the Gecko will be lower. But the same formulas apply for calculating the optimum BASE_PERIOD, and for tweaking dirhold or other step generator parameters.
For a fast AND reliable software based stepper system, you cannot just guess at periods and other configuration paremeters. You need to make measurements on your computer, and do the math to ensure that your drives get the signals they need.
To make the math easier, I've created an Open Office spreadsheet (_URL_ You enter your latency test result and your stepper drive timing requirements and the spreadsheet calculates the optimum BASE_PERIOD. Next, you test the period to make sure it won't slow down or lock up your PC. Finally, you enter the actual period, and the spreadsheet will tell you the stepgen parameter settings that are needed to meet your drive's timing requirements. It also calculates the maximum step rate that you will be able to generate.
I've added a few things to the spreadsheet to calculate max speed and stepper electrical calculations. (_URL_

What is Kilobaser?
Kilobaser is the only device combining microfluidic chip technology and a unique cartridge system. Kilobaser is focused on custom oligos and primers. This is where fast turn-around times are needed. Primers are mainly used for PCR applications and usually about 25 bases long. A PCR system cannot work efficiently and progressively without instant primer supply, therefore Kilobaser is the perfect companion device to accelerate your PCR workflow.
What is PCR?
The polymerase chain reaction is a technique used in medical and biological research labs to make millions of copies of a particular DNA section, from a very small amount of DNA. This is the point where Kilobaser comes into play, because the small amount of DNA you need for the PCR is produced by our device. The PCR is used for DNA sequencing, for the detection of genes in order to identify pathogens during infection and to generate forensic DNA profiles.
Is Kilobaser a DNA sequencer?
No. DNA sequencing is a process that "reads" the precise order of nucleotides within a physical DNA molecule. However, Kilobaser is made for the DNA "writing" process. Kilobaser is a synthesizer that produces the DNA molecule from a given sequence information, which again can be sequenced subsequently.
What is chip based DNA synthesis? Does Kilobaser use it?
Chip based means using a small synthetic chip instead of a reagent carrying tubing system, which wastes a big amount of chemicals during operation. This technique is one of the main reasons why Kilobaser saves costs on a large scale. On the one hand you need a lot less reagents and on the other hand you produce a lot less hazardous waste, manufacturing the same amount of DNA as conventional synthesizers.
What are the benefits of using Kilobaser?
Faster innovation cycles due to quickly available oligos. Lower possible prices for oligos due to lower reagent usage. The customer stays in control of proprietary information.
What are the benefits of Kilobaser in comparison to the current situation?
Chip based means using a small synthetic chip instead of a reagent carrying tube system, that consumes a big amount of chemicals during operation. This technique is one of the main reasons why Kilobaser saves costs on a large scale. On the one hand you need a lot less reagents and on the other hand you produce a lot less hazardous waste.
How pure are the samples and how do you control quality?
The samples after the synthesis still contain salts and some unreacted amidites. The quality of primers with <50 bases is good enough to be used right away without further purification (for example for PCR). An integrated in-line sensor allows you to monitor the product quality. If purification is necessary for a specific application, it can be done by the customer using a purification kit that we will offer. Longer oligos should be purified and tested using sequencing.

In the newborn, stroking the low back on one side of the spine will result in side flexion of the lumbar (low back) spine away from that side, with raising of the hip on the same side. It appears to take an active role in the birth process, with movements of the hip helping the baby to work its way down the birth canal. Stimulation down both sides of the spine simultaneously will activate a related reflex, which causes urination.
If the Spinal Galant reflex is retained it may be elicited at any time by light pressure on the low back region causing uncontrollable spinal movement. The stimulation of bedsheets may activate the related urination reflex, causing bedwetting long after toilet training.
 Spinal Galant Reflex retention may lead to:
 - Inability to sit still (the "ants in the pants" child who wriggles, squirms and constantly changes body position)
 - Attention and concentration problems
 - Difficulty co-ordinating normal walking gait
 - Bladder control (bedwetting is common)
 - Can contribute to the development of scoliosis (curvature) of the spine
 - Clumsiness while trying to manipulate objects
 - May affect fluency and mobility in physical activities or sports

|Title||Realization of a super waveguide for high-power-density generation and transmission using rightand left-handed transmission-line circuits|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2007|
|Authors||Y..H. Yao, T..J. Cui, Q.. Cheng, R..P. Liu, D. Huang, D.R. Smith|
|Journal||Physical Review E|
In an earlier work [Cheng and Cui, Phys. Rev. B 72, 113112 (2005)], we have shown theoretically that extremely high power densities can be generated and transmitted in a super waveguide which is filled with homogeneous bilayers of rightand left-handed materials. In this paper, we realize such a super waveguide using right-handed transmission-line (RHTL) and left-handed transmission-line (LHTL) circuits. After a rigorous design of the RHTL-LHTL structure, we observe the generation and transmission of high-power densities in the super circuit waveguide from accurate simulation results. Both lossless and lossy cases have been studied for the LHTL circuit. From the simulation results and the rigorous analysis of energy speeds, we show that high-power flows with opposite directions are excited in the RHTL and LHTL parts of the super waveguide, which form the energy vortices in the waveguide cross section.

The input to counter is any thing which can give logic zero when activated like button, infrared receiver, photodiode,LDR, etc.
In the case of button or any other input, the software is writen in such a way that it handles the debouncing effects and remove contineus input counting. Because it remmbers the previous state of the input and compare it each time then decide , the counter shouldbe incremented or decremented or reseted.
Components list:-
1. Microcontroller PIC18f452
2. LCD ( any general purpose 2 line 20 character LCD can be used.)
3. Crystal = 4MHz
4. capacitors (22 pf 2Nos)
5. Push buttons (4 Nos, one for master reset of microcontroller, one for up button, one for down button and one for reset counts)
6. PULLUP resistors (10k ohm 4Nos)
Circuit diagram:-
below is the circuit diagram for UP and Down counter with reset button.
PIC18f452 counter UP and Down display on LCD, programming in mikroc,interface of button, debouncing effect, remove contineous input, IR, check heart beats with LDR,
main features of the counter:-
1. It can be used to counts any thing like person passing through a wake way, cars entering to car parking place,etc.
2. The project has three inputs named UP,DOWN,REST.
3. The program take care the debouncing and contineus input by comparing the current state with previous state of input each time then if these found different then counter is updated by increment of decrement or reset depending upon the input.
4. The major purpose of the project to become familar with the interfacing of LCD with PIC microcontroller PIC18f452.

Best Practices: 8 Mozenda Scraper Tools Every User Should Know About
November 01, 2016
Capturing data from a website isn't always easy, but you should always be aware of the tools you have at your disposal. Since Mozenda started in 2007, we've made a lot of improvements to our software to streamline this process as much as possible.
Based on ongoing customer feedback to Mozenda support, we've compiled a list of the most useful techniques and tools that set us apart from the competition and make it simpler to get the data you need.
- Refine Captured Text. This window allows you to use several tools to filter captured data.After selecting an element containing text, use the Capture Definitions tool to select only the data you need. For advanced users, regular expressions can be used to find pattern-based data (such as zip codes, phone numbers, etc.).The Content Replacements tool is essentially a "find and replace" function for an individual capture action. This can be used to replace entire words or remove unnecessary characters, making it easier to gather clean data up front.
- Directly load a URL without clicking. This method avoids the hassle of navigating through multiple click items on a website by loading a direct URL to the page with the data to be captured.This tool is useful not only for reducing the number of steps (and margin for error) while building an agent, but can also be useful for websites that use advanced navigation that don't respond to a regular Click Item action. This method can be used in conjunction with the Refine Captured Text tool to extract a link URL followed by a Load Page action to directly load that URL into a new page. This process can be automated for a list of links using a parameter for the URL.
- Use the DOM window to pinpoint HTML elements. When using the default Mozenda capture actions, the correct element may not be selected due to the website's structure. The DOM window displays a web page's code in a hierarchical, folder-like format that allows you to track down the exact HTML element where the data exists.Once you find the correct element in the DOM window, you can recreate the capture action or adjust the XPath to match it. This method can also be used to collect hidden data that appears in the code but not on the rendered web page.
- Upload a list of data using the Input List function. The ability to upload a list of URLs, product numbers, or another input to be searched can easily be done using an Input List action. A list of zip codes, URLs, or any other list can be uploaded directly to Mozenda and the software will iterate through the list automatically.As seen in the image below, the user is uploading a list of states to go through in order to collect data for different store locations in all 50 states.
- Test an agent before processing. An essential part of building an agent is ensuring that it works as intended. The Agent Builder includes a testing option that will perform the agent's actions and show a preview of the data captured without using any page credits.To perform a test using only specific items in a list, right-click the item list and select Test Settings. From here, the list can be adjusted to apply to a limited number of items, which will only affect the agent during testing.
- Automate data delivery. After Mozenda captures a dataset, you can publish a file directly to email, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, or an external server via FTP. Publishing will occur after the agent runs and completes successfully.For advanced users, the Mozenda API can be used to start an agent and publish the results on demand with additional parameters for agent settings, file destination, and more.
- Schedule agents to run automatically. Agents can be configured to run automatically without requiring the user to manually start the agent via the web console. An agent can be run several times a day, once week, once a month, and so on.
- Track changes in captured data. This feature keeps records of previous agent jobs and will show when items in a collection have been changed, added or removed. This automates the process of monitoring for updates to important data.At this time, this feature is limited to reporting the fields that have changed between jobs. It does not indicate precise differences between old and new data.

PLATTSBURGH — An upcoming archaeological investigation at Pike's Cantonment will include an opportunity for members of the public to participate in an historical dig.
Pike's Cantonment, located on land between the Saranac River and the Clinton County Airport flight line, was part of the winter encampment of the U.S. Army during the winter of 1812-13 under the command of Zebulon M. Pike, when nearly 2,000 soldiers were camped there.
Some historians have made comparisons between Pike's Cantonment during the War of 1812 with Gen. George Washington's winter stay at Valley Forge during the American Revolution.
"When you find Pike's Cantonment, the entire battle scenario shifts from what people originally thought," said Keith Herkalo, president of the Battle of Plattsburgh Association.
British commanders sent a small number of soldiers into what is now the downtown area of Plattsburgh as a diversion, while the mainland skirmishes took place west of the city, where British troops forded the Saranac River at the site of Pike's Cantonment, he explained.
Dr. Timothy Abel, a SUNY Canton professor who specializes in War of 1812 archaeology, will oversee the week-long project on a two-and-one-half-acre site.
Tasks will include orienteering, archaeological testing, soil-color matching, soil screening, artifact collection and documentation.
"For this year, our job will focus on interval shovel tests," Herkalo said. "We'll dig a test hole every nine feet or so over the entire site and then examine any materials we've collected."
IN THE RECORDS
This year's efforts will be expanded next year with a more extensive dig, and in 2014, the project will focus on excavating one of the "hut" sites that were used by troops at the cantonment.
"This is quite an interesting project for us locally," Herkalo said. "There are people who still say this is not the site, despite all of the primary evidence that points to this location."
The U.S. Air Force conducted a survey of the property before relinquishing ownership of Plattsburgh Air Force Base and identified it as the location for Pike's Cantonment.
"Everyone who was alive knew where Pike's Cantonment was, including the Platt family, who owned the place, and the Averill family, who lived across from the place," Herkalo said. "It's all there in the primary records."
The New York State Office of Historic Preservation and the Battle of Plattsburgh Association are supporting the project. The North Country Chamber of Commerce has also provided a grant for the work.
A limited number of positions are available for the public to work on supervised activities throughout the project, with a $150 fee charged per person.
Teachers wishing to participate may receive in-service credit. For more information on those credits, teachers should contact the North Country Teacher Resource Center.
The site is on restricted property and is not accessible to the public except as official participants in the project.

Code-first Metadata
This is "code first" in the general sense, not the specific sense of Entity Framework. This has nothing to do with Entity Framework at all, except that team showed us how valuable simple access to code-like metadata is.
Code first is a powerful mechanism for expressing your metadata because code is the most concise way to express many things. There's 60 years of evolution to todays' computer languages being efficient in expressing explicit concepts based on a natural contextualization. You can't get this in JSON, XML or other richer and less-opinionated formats.
Code first is just one approach to getting strong-typed metadata. The keys to the kingdom, the keys to your code, lie in expressing the underlying problems of your code in a strong-typed manner, which you can read about here.
The problem is that the description of the problem is wrapped up with an enormous amount of ceremony about how to do what we're trying to do. Let's look at this in relation to metaprogramming where the goal is generally to reduce ceremony and
Only write the code that only you can write
In other words, don't write any code that isn't part of the minimum definition of the problem, divorced of all technology artifacts.
For example, you can create a SemanticLog definition that you can later output as an EventSource class, or any other kind of log output – even in a different language or on a different platform.
To do this, describe the SemanticLog in the simplest way possible, devoid of technology artifacts.
namespace ConsoleRunT4Example
{
[SemanticLog()]
public class Normal
{
public void Message(string Message) { }
[Event(2)]
public void AccessByPrimaryKey(int PrimaryKey) { }
}
}
Instead of the EventSource version:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics.Tracing;
namespace ConsoleRunT4Example
{
[EventSource(Name = "ConsoleRunT4Example-Normal")]
public sealed partial class Normal : EventSource
{
#region Standard class stuff
// Private constructor blocks direct instantiation of class
private Normal() { }
// Readonly access to cached, lazily created singleton instance
private static readonly Lazy<Normal> _lazyLog =
new Lazy<Normal>(() => new Normal());
public static Normal Log
{
get { return _lazyLog.Value; }
}
// Readonly access to private cached, lazily created singleton inner class instance
private static readonly Lazy<Normal> _lazyInnerlog =
new Lazy<Normal>(() => new Normal());
private static Normal innerLog
{
get { return _lazyInnerlog.Value; }
}
#endregion
#region Your trace event methods
[Event(1)]
public void Message(System.String Message)
{
if (IsEnabled()) WriteEvent(1, Message);
}
[Event(2)]
public void AccessByPrimaryKey(System.Int32 PrimaryKey)
{
if (IsEnabled()) WriteEvent(2, PrimaryKey);
}
#endregion
}
}
Writing less code (10 lines instead of 47) because we are lazy is a noble goal. But the broader benefit here is that the first requires very little effort to understand and very little trust about whether the pattern is followed. The second requires much more effort to read the code and ensure that everything in the class is doing what's expected. The meaning of the code requires that you know what an EventSource is.
Code-first allows you to just write the code that only you can write, and leave it to the system to create the rest of the code based on your minimal definition.

Cambodia-Singapore, 55 and Beyond
In a unique collaboration, Cambodian artist Fonki and I created this mural to celebrate 55 years of diplomatic ties between Cambodia and Singapore. It is a symbolic portrayal of the longstanding relations between the two countries, and the warm friendship between the two peoples.
Fonki's bold abstract neo-expressionist brushstrokes and my detailing through intricate brushstrokes are a harmonious contrast of our styles.
Fonki rendered the majestic imageries of the Khmer Lion from the Angkorian era – the Khmer symbol of peace and prosperity, royalty, strength and courage; and the Merlion – the national symbol of Singapore, the Lion City. The Angkorian lion with the missing head symbolises the resilience of the Khmer people; that despite years of wars and battles, and tragic attempts to eradicate their culture and people, the rebuilding of Cambodia with the support of close friends, has culminated in the Khmer Renaissance of a rich heritage and a bright future. Alongside each Angkorian lion is a Merlion, a symbol of the steadfast friendship and constructive partnership that bind the two nations and peoples together. Fonki said "You can try to cut the head of the lion, but the soul will always remain".
The four lions tower over a miniature city in the centre of the mural, a surreal depiction of the capital city of Phnom Penh and the island city state of Singapore. At a glance, the scenes are distinctly Cambodian or Singaporean, but on closer look, they are as similar as they are distinct. The juxtapose of modern skyscrapers and historic buildings tell of the challenges in retaining the heritage and identity amidst the pursuit of modernity and development.
The Vattanac Capital Towers in the foreground, an iconic landmark of modern Phnom Penh, and Singapore's own postcard icons of the Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay in the background, are featured on either sides of a fast flowing river thriving with commerce and industry, represent the success, prosperity and dreams of the two countries and their peoples.
The playful scenes of everyday life and common architecture styles represent the shared lifestyle and aspirations of the two peoples. The pair of Angkorian Lion and Merlion sculptures in the bottom left-of-centre of the mural and the Naga-Merlion bridge in the bottom centre which connects the two sections of the metropolis represent the many more successful collaborations between Cambodia and Singapore and their peoples in the years ahead

'A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia' offers exciting and amazing tips on the importance of oaks and how to plant them successfully '
Darnum, Victoria, Australia (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
Author Richard Browne expresses his sturdy and prolific fervor for nature as he pens a profound and delightful anthology in A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia. This is the author's long dream to write a book about his passion–oak trees and to share to the world how he was captivated by its grandeur and mystery.
This volume will reveal Browne's 10 years of collecting and planting oaks. It all began after arriving from Ireland and realising what to do with his six acres of bare land. Missing the beautiful and colorful changing of the seasons and the distinctive smell of the deciduous woods that he had enjoyed during his childhood, thus he decided to collect and plant oaks from different parts of the world. Through time, Browne studied and researched as much knowledge as could be found. Browne believes that oaks have played a great part in the evolution of culture. It is also the most obvious form of flora and fauna that has been quite advantageous to the Australian landscape, soil and wildlife rather than being detrimental like so many of the other impulsive imports. This book aims to provide a simple guide to the things people didn't know, but probably should, about the oaks.
A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia is a book that showcases the author's long years of passion for oaks. It will also help gardeners, oak enthusiasts and land owners learn many interesting new facts and method about oak planting and collecting.

This Article argues that a key-but-overlooked factor in the Vietnam-era breakdown of the draft system was the Supreme Court's expansion of the religious conscientious objector ("CO") exemption. It asserts that the Court understood that the CO exemption violated the Establishment Clause, but rather than strike the exemption down, the Court avoided the constitutional issue by interpreting away the religious element of CO statutes. The Article concludes that the Court's rulings caused CO exemptions to skyrocket, which in turn caused the draft system to collapse toward the end of the Vietnam War.

A comparative study of two methods for determination of pH, exchangeable base cations, and aluminum
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis
Förlag: Taylor & Francis
The ability to compare soil chemical data achieved by different chemical extraction methods is a necessity for an efficient long-term monitoring of soils and for comparisons of results from regional soil surveys with differing standard methods. This study compares two common, methods for analysis of soil chemical properties, the combination of soil extraction in 1.0 M NH4Cl and 1.0 M KCl and the single extraction method using 0.1 M BaCl2. Results show that the two methods do not differ in extraction capability with regard to pH and exchangeable calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). However, there is less agreement in extraction capability with regard. to potassium (K), sodium (Na), and aluminum (Al). For these elements, BaCl2 is less efficient than NH4Cl and KCl. Despite the differences in extraction capability between BaCl2 and KCl/NH4Cl, regression analyses showed that the methods are well correlated (high regression coefficients for all, elements). Thus, transformation of data achieved by one method to estimated values of the other method are possible. Results from this study may be an important tool for comparisons of mineral soil data achieved by the two methods.

What to do after a death
Hendon Mosque is a member of the NAFD.
Muslim law and tradition have endowed a Muslim's funeral with profound religious significance and it should, in every respect, express the dignity, sanctity and modesty of a solemn religious service.
The five stages that follow the death of a Muslim are:
 1. The final bathing (ghusl) of the deceased – tajheez.
 2. The shrouding (kafan) of the deceased – takfeen.
 3. The funeral prayers – janazah salah.
 4. The funeral procession – carrying the bier to the grave.
 5. The burial of the deceased – tadfeen.
It is very important to complete the above stages as quickly as possible, for Rasulullah (saw) has emphasised:
"Make haste at a funeral; if the dead person was good, it is a good state to which you are sending him on; but if he was otherwise it is an evil of which you are ridding yourselves."
Even if the person dies on a Friday, the scholars have stated, "it is better to make all arrangements and bury the deceased before Jumu'ah salah" and that "delaying the funeral with the thought that there will be more participants after jumu'ah is undeseriable".
Moreover, the blessings and forgiveness for the deceased that will be acquired by adhering to the command of Rasulullah (saw) is more worthy then delaying the janazah salah, even with the possibility that more participants may attend.
Sharee'ah has also prohibited the delaying of the burial on account of a certain relative being overseas and this person's inability to arrive quickly, for example, due to the unavailbility of a flight.
Please note, to enable the burial to take place as quickly as possible we need to comply with the formalities of the law of this country, which requires that the death is certified and registered. These formalities (summarised below) are extracted from the official document What to do after a death in England and Wales.
If the Death Occurs in a Hospital
If the death occurs in hospital, the hospital staff will contact the person named by the deceased as next of kin. The hospital will then keep the body in the hospital mortuary until the executor arranges for it to be taken away and the hospital staff will arrange for the nearest relative to collect the deceased's possessions.
If the Death Occurs Elsewhere
If the death was expected, you should contact the doctor who attended the deceased during their final illness.
If the death was unexpected/sudden or you discover a body, you should contact the following people:
 1. The family doctor
 2. The deceased's next of kin
 3. The local mosque
Cause of Death
If the cause of death is quite clear the doctor will give you:
 1. A Medical Certificate that shows the cause of death (this is free of charge and will be given in a sealed envelope addressed to the registrar).
 2. A Formal Notice that states that a doctor has signed the Medical Certificate and tells you how the death can be registered.
If the cause of the death was known to be a natural illness, but the doctors wish to know more about the cause of death, they may ask the relatives for permission to carry out a medical examination of the body (i.e. post-mortem) to find out more about the cause of death. Islam does not permit post-mortems in this instance and no such permission should be given.
If the death follows illness from HIV or AIDS there may be special rules about handling the body.
Reporting a Death to the Coroner
The coroner is a doctor or lawyer responsible for investigating deaths in particular situations and may be the only person able to certify the cause of death.
In any of the following circumstances, the doctor may report the death to the coroner and write on the Formal Notice that the death has been referred to the coroner:
 1. An accident or injury
 2. An industrial disease
 3. During a surgical operation
 4. Before recovery from an anaesthetic
 5. If the cause of death is unknown
 6. The death was sudden and unexplained, e.g. a sudden infant death (cot death).
If the doctor treating the deceased had not seen him or her, either after the death or within 14 days before the death, the death must be reported to the coroner.
The coroner may arrange for a post-mortem examination of the body. The consent of the relative is not needed, but they are entitled to be represented at the examination by a doctor. When relatives have told the coroner they wish to be represented, the coroner will if at all practicable, tell them when and where the examination will be.
The coroner will pay for the removal of a body from the place of death to the mortuary for post-mortem examination. The relatives may choose the funeral director.
If the post-mortem shows that death was due to natural causes, the coroner may issue a notification known as the Pink Form (Form 100), which gives the cause of death so that the death can be registered. The coroner usually sends the form direct to the registrar but may give it to you to deliver.
If the death was violent, unnatural, caused by an industrial disease, occurred in prison or if the cause of death remains uncertain after post-mortem examination, the coroner will hold an inquest. An inquest is an enquiry into the medical cause and circumstances of a death. It is held in public, sometimes with a jury, and it is up to the coroner how to organise the enquiry in a way that best serves the public interest and the interests of the relatives.
If an inquest is held, the coroner must inform the following people:
 1. The married partner of the deceased
 2. The nearest relative (if different)
 3. And the personal representative (if different from above).
Relatives can attend an inquest and ask questions of witnesses but they may only ask questions about the medical cause and circumstances of the death. It may also be important to have a lawyer to represent you if the death was caused by a road accident or an accident at work.
The coroner may give you an Order for Burial (form 101) so that the funeral can take place and may be done before the inquest is completed, provided the body is not required for further examination.
The coroner will also send the registrar a Certificate After Inquest (form 99 [rev]) stating the cause of death – this allows the death to be registered.
If you want advice or information about a death which has been reported to the coroner, contact the coroner's officer. You can get the address from the police station or, if the death was in hospital, the hospital official dealing with deaths.
Registering the Death
To avoid delay, the death must be registered by the Registrars of Births and Deaths for the sub-district in which the death occurred. You can find their address by visiting the official website of the General Register Office, in the phone book under 'Registration of Births, Deaths & Marriages', from the doctor, local council, post office or police station.
Check when the registrar will be available and whether only you need to go along. It may be that someone other than you will be needed to give information for the death to be registered.
If the death has been referred to the coroner, it cannot be registered until the registrar has received authority from the coroner to do so (see above), otherwise, go to the registrar as soon as possible.
When you go to the registrar you should take all these:
 1. The medical certificate of the cause of the death
 2. The deceased's medical card, if possible
 3. The pink form (form 100), if one has been given to you by the coroner
 4. The deceased's birth and marriage certificates, if available
You should tell the registrar:
 1. The date and place of death
 2. The deceased's last (usual) address
 3. The deceased's first names and surname (and the maiden name where appropriate)
 4. The deceased's date and place of birth (town and country if born in the UK, and country if born abroad)
 5. The deceased's occupation and the name and occupation of their spouse
 6. Whether the deceased was getting a pension or allowance from public funds
 7. If the deceased was married, the date of birth of the surviving widow or widower.
The Registrar will give you:
 1. A Certificate for Burial – known as the Green Form – (unless the coroner has already given you an Order for Burial). These forms will give permission for the body to be buried and should be taken to the cemetery to enable the funeral to take place.
 2. Leaflets about widows' benefits and income tax for widows.
 3. A Certificate of Registration of Death (form BD8 [rev]). This is for Social Security purposes only. Read the information on the back of the certificate. If any of it applies, fill in the certificate and show it to your Social Security office.
The Death Certificate
The death certificate is a certified copy of the one in the death register and the registrar can let you have one if you wish, but you will have to pay a fee.
You may need a Death Certificate for the will and for any pension claims, savings bank


Super Slow
The SuperSlow Protocol is an exercise technique that was developed in the early 1980s by Ken Hutchins. The basis of the technique is to perform a single repetition for 15 seconds: 10 seconds up and 5 seconds down. Because each repetition takes so long, a set may consist of only three to five repetitions. By slowing things down so much, momentum is all but eliminated and orthopedic stress is minimized. Of course, curious bystanders may think you've suffered a stroke. No matter; lifting like this requires great effort and powers of concentration.
SuperSlow definitely works, but many people find it tedious to adhere to this slow-mo approach. However, many SuperSlow devotees take a hard line approach to their training, insisting that it is the only way to go. This, of course, is myopic and shouldn't concern you. What is relevant is that by moving faster in the eccentric or negative phase than in the concentric or positive phase, you reduce the amount of recovery for the concentric phase. (Unless we overload with accentuated negatives, the value of moving slowly during the negatives is questionable.) Finally, while the 10-5 speed accomplishes what it says—limiting momentum and orthopedic stress while keeping muscular tension high—the 10-5 speed is not the only option. Movement cadences of 5-10, 10-10, 3-1-3 or other combinations which minimize momentum may be just as effective.
Let's consider the advantages of the SuperSlow system:
> You will get stronger.
> No use of momentum to propel the weight.
>- No orthopedic injuries from using too much weight. >- It's safe.
Now consider the following disadvantages:
>- Since the technique is so slow and the weight is so much lighter, some people may be turned off of using it.
Bar Talk
Super5low is a protocol that, as the name suggests, involves extremely slow movement—10 seconds for the positive phase and 5 seconds for the negative. SuperSlow is a very challenging but safe method of strength training.

> You have to pay attention to how long each repetition is by using a clock with a second hand, metronome or timer—your concentration is split between counting and lifting unless you work with a partner.
Having warned you about the boredom factor, we certainly think that SuperSlow is worth trying. It is demanding, but once you get into it, you'll find that the focused concentration required brings a new energy that your workout may be sorely lacking. No, we're not in agreement with the SuperSlow people who claim it's the only way to lift. Nor do we agree that you need to do all your workouts that way. But if you're looking for a new workout wrinkle, it's a fine way to increase the intensity of some of your workouts.

Developing cognitive abilities through games: a conundrum?
The discussion paper, Quality teaching in NSW public schools (Department of Education and Training, 2003), was released with the aim to improve teaching practice and hence student learning outcomes. The model of pedagogy outlined in this document focuses on the three dimensions of intellectual quality, quality learning environment and significance.
This record is in the process of being updated. Please contact us for more information.
