title: A pioneering study reveals the safety of anaesthetic drugs in patients with brugada syndrome

text:
Brugada syndrome is a rare hereditary heart disease that can cause sudden malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD), especially in young patients. It was first described by Josep Brugada, the head of the IDIBAPS research group Familial cardiomyopathies and sudden death syndrome and one of the authors of the study. It was previously thought that several general and local anaesthetics could trigger these arrhythmias, which is why they were systematically avoided in this group of patients.
Now, this study conducted by IDIBAPS-Hospital Clínic has retrospectively analysed nearly 190 anaesthetic procedures performed in the last 18 years. The research team found that, although 68% of the procedures in patients with Brugada syndrome were performed with drugs classified as ‘not recommended’, only two serious arrhythmias (1%) were reported that coincided in time with the handling of an intracardiac device.
‘This research was essential because the anaesthetic management of patients with Brugada syndrome was previously based more on precaution than on scientific evidence. Our results provide peace of mind and better tools for daily clinical practice’, explains Elena Arbelo, a cardiologist who is an expert in Brugada syndrome and a researcher in the IDIBAPS research group Familial cardiomyopathies and sudden death syndrome.
‘It is the largest cohort published to date in this area and shows that many of the anaesthetics considered risky can be used safely if carefully controlled’, says Marc Giménez-Milà, a researcher in the IDIBAPS research group Atherosclerosis coronary disease and heart failure and one of the leaders of the project.
The study takes an important step towards improving the clinical management of Brugada syndrome and contributing to the safety of anaesthetic procedures in this population. ‘This study helps us to move past old dogmas and allows us to offer more precise and personalised care to our patients with Brugada syndrome, making it possible to use highly effective drugs when they can be administered with the appropriate precautions’, explains Jaume Borrell-Vega, an anaesthesiologist at Hospital Clínic and the first author of the article.
The research was carried out entirely at IDIBAPS-Hospital Clínic and was partially funded by La Marató de TV3 (project 245/U/2020).

On 5 Nov 2021 The US Composite Wilshire peaked at 48809.39 trillion dollars. This was the 90th year of a US Great 90 year Third Fractal starting in 1932 and completing a 1807 maximum 36/90/90 year :: x/2.5x/2.5x self-assembly asset-debt macroeconomic fractal growth series. Since 1982 higher high equities valuations have been propelled by cascading lower interest rates and since 2008, by near zero prime rates and outright central bank money creation to monetize the 2005-2008 toxic-asset-debt bubble and to later monetize the 15-20 % unemployment rate created by the pandemic.
Global central banks’ policies have averted a 1930’s type of depression. Since 2020 too low of interest rates associated with mortgage backed securities for too long of time have created Western property and equity super bubbles with 30-40% housing appreciation over two year’s time, transient dr/dt record growth of equity valuations, and ongoing continuing higher and higher commodity inflation with a 60 percent relative divergence of lower equity prices and higher commodity prices since the November 2021 Wilshire high. The higher commodity prices are impactful and have left the majority of consumers on the thinest of viabilty edges. And in principally consumer-based economies, this inflation is resticting purchases and resulting in lower company profit margins and relatively high inventories – the opposite of what is expected in a supply-line limited system. In response to the historical increases in consumer inflation central banks have allowed market-based increases in interest rates of sovereign debt instruments which have far outpaced the central bank prime rate increases. The former rate increases have resulted in 30 year mortgages rates above peak rates for the last 12 years. These rates have reduced the population capable of buying an availble over-priced house to a historically small proportion.
Western countries are faced with the dual prospects of increasing commodity inflation and 15-20 trillion losses in equities. Increasing energy cost and grain shortages secondary to Russia’s illegal action will continue global inflationary pressures.
China, the world’s new manufacturing Hegemony, has unstable and mighty fraility in its 1989-equivalent Japan-like property supper bubble with a 40 times asset valuation to annual income ratio.

Waste-not Wendy is following her destiny
As a natural-born forager with an unyielding aversion to waste, reuse and recycling was always going to be at the centre of her business plan.
Her shop, Forget Me Not in Bo’ness, is almost an extension of her home – bursting with quirky antiques and lovely vintage pieces.
Hide Ad“I’ve been in retail all my life and it was my make-do-and-mend attitude that led me to open the shop. I decided to take my passion and apply it to my own business. You can become very disillusioned working in retail because the waste you see is unbelievable,” says mum-of-three Wendy, 48.
“I wanted to show people that you can have beautiful things without buying new, because all these items are out there already – you just need to look for them. If you have an eye for detail and don’t give up, there are very few things you can’t find second-hand.”
As well as customers in search of a unique gift, her clientele includes cosplay enthusiasts and people looking for authentic era-appropriate clothing and homeware. She is just as happy to source an outfit for a Peaky Blinders festival as she is tracking down “kitchenalia” and furnishings for an 1950s-style home makeover.
“The items I source are authentic vintage pieces not replica items that can easily be found online,” adds Wendy, whose 1920s art deco display won the best-dressed window award as this year’s Bo’ness HippFest silent movie festival.
Hide Ad“Customers are happy when they realise good quality does not have to mean high cost. It’s fun to buy second-hand and realise you are getting more for your money.”
With its small tea shop, Wendy also uses the premises as a meeting place for a local reminiscence group to help people affected by dementia.

title: Food van not allowed to operate at usk vale park in pontypool

text:
A MOBILE catering van that employs two people “undermines” the good design of an industrial estate where it has been operating without planning permission.
Gavin Cole had made a retrospective application to keep the catering van on land that was supposed to have been landscaped when permission for four industrial units was granted in 2019.
Torfaen Borough Council has said the concrete area is supposed to have a grass lawn and trees should have been planted and its planning enforcement team is currently investigating the apparent failure to comply with the 2019 permission at the Usk Vale Park estate in Cwmoody at Mamhilad, north of New Inn, Pontypool.
Planning officer Simon Pritchard refused the application as it undermined the “good design” of the estate the landscaping condition was intended to achieve.
He also said a retail development outside of the borough’s core retail areas was at odds with its planning policies and the van would be reliant on people driving private vehicles to reach it which doesn’t comply with local and national planning policies.
The council’s highways department said it couldn’t support the plans put forward which included two picnic tables to the side of the van and space for three overflow parking spaces but conditions could have made it acceptable.
The planning department also said as there is already a Greggs bakery on the estate the catering van could be considered an “over provision” and there was no evidence to suggest the van would primarily serve the estate.
As the application sought to allow the van to operate until 8pm, and the industrial estate is easily accessible from the A4042 trunk road, it was considered many customers would arrive by car, meaning it doesn’t meet policies intended to discourage private motor trips. The location was also described as not easily accessible by foot or by cycling.
The 2019 application for the four units was granted to a firm named Starburst (UK) Ltd.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method:
we copyright the library, and
we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

“International Ear Care Day”
Ear care can avoid hearing loss
Free Hearing and Ear Screening Camp
Date: 3rd March 2014 Monday
Venue: ENT and Head-Neck Cancer Hospital & Institute
Address: Plot- F/12, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Agargoan, Dhaka -1207 (opposite orthopedic hospital and behind Eye hospital and Somobay bhaban), Ph. No: 8158659-60
I am very pleased to inform you that, ENT Foundation Bangladesh is going to organize a round table seminar and a free ENT and Hearing screening camp at the premises of ENT and Head-Neck Cancer Hospital & Institute, Agargoan (a non-profit hospital run by ENT foundation Bangladesh) on 3rd March 2014 to observe the International Ear Care Day 2014.
ENT Foundation Bangladesh, was formed in the year 2004, by a group of philanthropist social workers, doctors and other professionals, led by late Prof. M Alauddin, with a view to improve the treatment facilities of the common people of Bangladesh, who are suffering from ENT and Head-Neck diseases. The foundation is now running a-32-bedded hospital at Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, Agargoan.
Besides head-neck cancers, the main ENT disease causing morbidity is hearing loss. WHO estimates that there are 360 million persons in the world with disabling hearing loss (5.3% of the world’s population). At least half of all cases of hearing loss are avoidable through primary prevention, including healthy ear care practices. The theme of this year’s International Ear Care Day is Ear care can avoid hearing loss.
A key note speech will be presented at the seminar and a detail discussion will be held about the current situation and policies. Professionals from different sectors like doctors, audiologists, NGOs working with deaf, WHO representative, and related fields are expected to participate in the seminar.
I will be highly glad, if you participate the seminar and give your valuable opinion regarding the problem.
Prof. Jahanara Alauddin,
Secretary General, ENT Foundation Bangladesh.

Average UK Rents Readjust And Start Falling
Current rental prices in the UK hit £1,172, representing a marginal drop against previous months.
Several rental property experts confirm falling average rental values across the UK for the second consecutive month. How significant is the decrease?
Rental Values In 2023
Rental values skyrocketed in H2 2022 as homeownership costs increased, and many people decided to opt for rental options, including rental flats in London. Interestingly, December 2022 marked the first month when average rents started to fall.
This trend continued throughout January 2023 as average rental prices hit £1,172, a 0.2% decrease against the prior month.
As for the London property market, rental values in the capital saw the most significant monthly drop of almost 1%, falling from £2,007 pcm (per calendar month) to £1,989 pcm.
Interestingly, average rents in the North East and the East Midlands saw a 0.8% increase, with average prices reaching £623 pcm and £803 pcm, accordingly.
These figures represent the latest data on actual achieved rental values for just-agreed tenancies. As a result, these trends represent an in-depth insight into the current rental market state in the UK, including London.
Rental Experts Add
Several rental specialists confirm falling rental values in December 2022 and January 2023, with the average number reaching £1,172 pcm.
Despite these trends, the rental market remains heated as average values are at record-high levels. Moreover, specialists anticipate rents to rise throughout 2023 despite marginal drops in the past two months. Excluding London, average UK rents remained unchanged at £977 pcm.
The costs of living crisis affects tenants just like homeowners as renters struggle with rising rental values. As a result, experts anticipate heated market conditions in the coming months, provided market settings remain the same.

Shared bike journey from Beijing to Tianjin stuns netizens
The super-long shared bike journey undertaken by four college students from Beijing to Tianjin has astonished many netizens and arose their curiosity as the shared bikes are typically regarded as short-distance transportation, such as moving from subway exits to workplaces.
Their jaw-dropping bike trips were first spotted and shared online by the shared bike maintenance personnel in Tianjin. According to the backend data, the whole cycling journey covers 125 kilometers, lasting 10 hours and 28 minutes without any stops. The feat has earned them the nickname "four steel-buttocked bros" from netizens.
The cyclists were unknown at first but soon a detail on the bikes provided a powerful clue. The bikes stopped at the Tientsin Eye Ferris wheel, an iconic site in Tianjin, had the name and logo of Beijing Institute of Technology printed on them.
On Tuesday, a post from the official WeChat account Beijing Institute of Technology revealed the cyclists' identities and the reason for their journey.
The four riders are overseas students from Malaysia, namely Li Sijing, Peng Yongzhi, Chen Yuhang and Qiu Yuxiang. They are roommates and about to graduate from the university, hoping to leave a mark on their school life.
"At first, I took up cycling for weight loss. After losing 60 kilograms, I have fallen in love with this sport," said Li.
Inspired by Li's passion, the other three students joined in on the cycling activities. The trip to Tianjin marked their first long-distance cycling experience.
Li also said that Tianjin is a city steeped in history and culture. The distance of over 100 kilometers is very suitable for novice cyclists.
"Compared with high-speed train journeys, cycling allows us to have an immersive experience of China's splendid landscape," added Li.
According to Li, the reason why they chose to cycle is that the bicycles are printed with the logo and the name of "Beijing Institute of Technology". They want to capture memorable pictures with something related to their college.
"Due to limited holiday time and our physical limitations, we did not cycle back. However, we are contacting Tianjin University students, hoping that they can ride the bikes back to our school," said the students.
In terms of the four students' experience, a public relations officer of Tianjin shared bike services said that traveling in low-carbon ways like cycling is encouraged. But for challenging and long-distance journeys, it is advisable to use more professional equipment.


title: Stuffed chicken breast with cheese

text:
This recipe for Stuffed Chicken Breast with Cheese is also packed with jalapeno, bacon, and cheddar. All inside a perfectly well-seasoned chicken breast and topped with more cheese. It is easier to make than it might seem, and every bite is bursting with flavor.
This recipe really gives you bang for your buck in the flavor department. And it is made with things that I typically keep on hand anyway. Give or take the jalapeno, but I could always use a can of diced peppers or some hot sauce or salsa if I was in a pinch.
You will notice nothing really out of the ordinary. These should all be easy to find and use ingredients. You will want to get your hands on some butcher twine if you don't have it. It really is the best way to hold the chicken together, though you could use toothpicks if you had to.
Use the JUMP TO RECIPE button at the top of the post, or scroll to the bottom of the post to see the full recipe card with ingredient measurements and instructions.
First mix up the filling.
Then, split the chicken breasts open, being careful not to cut all the way through, and flatten them between two pieces of parchment paper with a tenderizer.
Season both sides of the tenderized chicken and fill with a couple of tablespoons of the filling mixture. Then roll and tie up each chicken breast.
When the chicken has cooked fully and a thermometer reads 165˚F, remove the chicken from the oven and remove the ties. Top the chicken with some more cheddar cheese and place it under the broiler to melt and crisp the cheese.
The crispy crunchy cheese on top just makes it the best! And the filling is perfectly balanced with sweetness from the cream cheese and spice from the jalapeno.
Notes & Tips
When splitting open the chicken breasts, work in smooth short strokes. This will help ensure you don't cut all the way through. You want to keep the backside intact.
If you do split a hole in the chicken, don't get too worried. Just press it closed after wrapping and tying up the chicken. Some cheese may leak out, but not much. It will all be ok.
If your cream cheese isn't at room temp, pop it in the microwave in 15-second increments until spreadable.
Tenderizing the chicken between two pieces of parchment keeps your kitchen and workspace clean, making sure chicken bits don't go flying. Season on the plastic too, then wrap it up and throw it away.
I love classic cheddar for this mixture, but white cheddar or extra sharp would also hold up well.
While this recipe is so basic, there really aren't any swaps to be made, there are a few other great combos.
Try, blue cheese in place of the cheddar, and drop the jalapeno. Or just drop the jalapeno if you don't like spicy, cheddar bacon is perfect on its own.
Ham and Swiss would give this recipe a Chicken Cordon Bleu flavor if you like that. Gruyere would be a great swiss choice.

Your wedding ring isn’t just a symbol of love and commitment, it's a piece of jewelry you’ll wear every day. It is essential to choose the one that suits your lifestyle.
Here are some thoughts to help you find a perfect wedding ring for your individual way of life.
Consider your daily activities. Think about your daily routine and activities you engage regularly. If you have an active lifestyle, you’ll want a durable ring that can withstand wear and tear. Opt for a metal like platinum, known for its strength and resilience. Keep in mind that metal like platinum might be more costly upfront, however it often requires less maintenance and can last a lifetime.
I am no stranger to making jewelry for men. My work was always meant to be worn by all. Myself, a fan of men's garments, I always tried to fill in the fashion gap between genders. Let's be honest, only recently fashion designers started paying attention to "masculine" fashion and creative, innovative, fashion conscious men or men with a strong sense of style do not have to suffer for a lack of wardrobe and accessory choice anymore.
In my experience, men tend to choose less embellished jewelry, pieces that are perceived as simple and understated. By creating men's engagement ring* collection, I portrayed gold and precious stones in a masculine way. The designs (except the ring I custom made for Paul) are focused on the metal itself, its texture, luster, strength, and durability. The gemstones are incorporated to transform a particular ring into a celebratory piece, but without being overly flashy. Rings in this collection are designed and meant to be worn every day, as a powerful representation of commitment and love.
Although the earliest finger rings are from Ancient Egypt, the history of engagement rings dates back to Ancient Rome. In many countries, engagement rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. This custom also is believed to have originated in Ancient Rome. It was believed that this finger contained the vena amoris, the “love vein” that leads to the heart. (The latin term vena amoris was popularized hundreds of years later by the ecclesiastical lawyer Henry Swinburne in A treatise of Spousals, or Matrimonial Contracts in 1686, in which he references Roman thinkers Apion and Aulus Gallius.) Ancient Roman brides-to-be would receive two engagement rings, one in gold and one in iron. The gold ring was to wear in public, and the iron ring was for around the house.

BSR Cultural Pearls at the EUSBSR Annual Forum 2023 in Riga
10 October 2023
The BSR Cultural Pearls project played a central role in organising the workshop “Youth and Culture Driving Resilient Communities in the BSR” at the EUSBSR Annual Forum 2023 in Riga, contributing both speakers and moderators, as well as substantive input. The workshop explored the interplay between social resilience, community revitalisation, cultural assets, youth engagement, and sustainable tourism.
A key takeaway from the workshop was the emphasis on the importance of youth engagement in revitalising communities. The BSR Cultural Pearls project highlighted the need for tangible resources and authority to empower young people, moving beyond symbolic participation to enabling meaningful contributions.
The workshop also delved into the critical interplay between culture and resilience. By showcasing successful case studies, such as the UrbCultural Planning toolkit and local strategies from municipalities like Varde, the project demonstrated how integrating cultural elements into urban planning can significantly bolster social resilience.
Cultural initiatives were shown to create a sense of belonging, foster community engagement, and provide local solutions to local challenges, all of which are essential components of building resilient communities. This integration of culture into community development is increasingly recognised as a vital strategy for enhancing social cohesion and adaptability in the Baltic Sea Region.
Beyond the workshop, the BSR Cultural Pearls project significantly contributed to the broader forum discussions on resilience by emphasising the critical role of culture in fostering social resilience across the Baltic Sea Region.
Through participation in various sessions and a stand in the forum’s networking village, the project successfully raised the profile of culture-driven approaches, positioning culture as a key factor in building robust, adaptable communities in the region.
Prior to the EUSBSR Annual Forum 2023, a partner meeting of the BSR Cultural Pearls project took place in Riga, which significantly contributed to the strong presence of many project partners at the forum.

An Ocean of Hours
After working on various projects with the fundamental languages, I decided to dive into Frameworks. My first stop was CodeIgniter, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer compared to the raw PHP projects we were doing. It offered a documented structure, patterns, and a community where everyone discussed solutions to common problems. Hungry for more knowledge and feeling confident with my CodeIgniter experience, I moved on to a Framework called Kohana. It was a spin-off of CodeIgniter, created by some talented folks from its community. Kohana was fantastic back then. Then came Laravel; when I first encountered it at Laravel 3, it felt like the perfect fit I had been searching for. No turning back for me. If you're familiar with these frameworks, you'll notice they all sort of belong to the same "family." I also tested CakePHP and Zend Framework, which took different approaches, not worse or better, just different.
Sticking with the same "family line" of frameworks whenever we switch things up really helps us get a grip on the new stuff and start adding value fast. It's kind of like that with other layers too. We moved from raw CSS to Sass, BEM Methodology, Grid 960, Bootstrap, and Tailwind CSS.
Let's not forget the DevOps side of things. From basic FTP to Git Deploys, Pipelines, Docker, and all these things. Programming can be tough, and we can't do it all alone. It's a massive time investment, and time is one of our most precious resources.
Some of the projects I've worked on over the years aren't exactly small and need to be maintained for a long time, sometimes over a decade. Without a clear mental model and organization, you're setting yourself up for "bad karma" down the line. At some point, you'll need to introduce new features or update aspects of the project. No one else will make these changes for you, so it's smart to care for your future self. And if you're in a bigger team, why not also look out for your teammates' future?
I'm not just talking about frameworks here. I'm talking about adopting mental models that help you meet project needs, explain your codebase to others, and make the process enjoyable and productive. It's a lifelong learning journey, and what works for me might not work for you, and that's totally fine!
Sure, but another Admin Panel?
At first glance, Modular might appear to be "just another admin panel," but it's far more than that. If you're a developer or part of a team seeking a robust foundation for building projects, opting for a modular approach can be a powerful choice. Designed from a Full Stack Developer's perspective, it addresses common challenges like Access Control Lists, Multiple Dashboards, Persistent Activity Logs, and a seamless routing system that bridges frontend and backend. Plus, it features ready-to-use UI components that autoload effortlessly. Modular not only speeds up builds but also provides a scalable structure, allowing for API exposure or frontend site additions when necessary.
The goal was to avoid reinventing the wheel by integrating outstanding existing tools in a logical manner. If this resonates with you, I hope Modular becomes a useful tool at some moment in your development journey. Keep pushing forward, and happy coding!


title: Healthcare through a new lens vision saving surgery launches in ipswich

text:
Ipswich eye patients suffering from retinal and macular diseases will no longer have to travel to Brisbane for specialist retinal care and vitreoretinal surgery, thanks to the launch of a brand-new service that has recently opened in Ipswich.
Cura Day Hospitals Group CEO, Andrew Currie, says the launch of the new service at Ipswich Day Hospital, which is the first in the area to offer patients access to the vision-saving macular surgery and vitrectomy, will revolutionise healthcare for patients in regional Ipswich and remote areas.
“It’s been a great privilege for the team at the Ipswich Day Hospital to be the first private hospital in the region to launch the vision-saving technology,” Mr Currie says, noting that the closest hospital previously to offer the surgery is over 30 kilometres away.
“Cura Day Hospitals Group is constantly looking for ways to improve care and outcomes for patients, and with increased lockdowns and the uncertainty of the pandemic, immediate access to this type of healthcare is vital.”
Retinal Surgeon and Macular Disease specialist Dr Tom Moloney, who spent part of his medical training at the Ipswich Hospital and is familiar with the area, said that until now, patients have had to travel to Brisbane to see their nearest retinal specialists, which could be challenging for those experiencing vision issues. He said that as a result of the travel required, some patients have had no option but to leave their conditions untreated.
He added that depending on the specific condition, patients suffering from retinal and macular diseases can find their vision is significantly impacted, meaning it can be difficult, or even impossible, for sufferers to drive, read or stay independent.
“Providing this care to the community locally and reducing the need for travel will help patients to maintain their independence,” Dr Moloney said.
“The symptoms of retinal diseases can present in different ways. For instance, people with macular degeneration may not have many symptoms at all. Or they might find that their vision is becoming distorted, with wavy lines or blurriness.”
While there’s usually no eye pain or discomfort for patients, macular degeneration, if left untreated, can lead to partial or total vision loss.
“In terms of macular degeneration, we have an aging population which means there’s an increasing need for treatment – usually with eye injections. We wanted to be able to offer that treatment, along with subspecialist retinal care, to the Ipswich community,” he said.
Vitreoretinal surgery is generally performed under local anaesthetic with twilight sedation and can take between 45 minutes and two hours.
“We’re very fortunate that Cura Day Hospitals Group and Ipswich Day Hospital have invested in a lot of equipment so that we can provide the surgery locally.”
Dr Moloney said that, in most cases, patients can go home without requiring overnight hospitalisation. Patients then meet with Dr Moloney for a follow up visit the day after surgery.
David Hines, the first patient to receive the vision-saving vitrectomy locally in Ipswich said the procedure saved his vision.
“I was absolutely terrified going into the surgery but after a very successful, 40-minute surgery thanks to Dr Moloney and the brilliant surgical team, I was able to return home,” David said.
“The thought of losing your eyesight is horrifying – access to the surgery right here in Ipswich meant that I didn’t need to wait up to eight weeks for a specialist appointment.
“I can’t thank Dr Moloney enough and I feel so privileged to be part of such an innovative new procedure,” he said.
People who may be concerned about their vision can see their local GP or Optometrist for a check-up and ask to be referred to either Dr Moloney or Dr Apel at the Eye Health Centre located in Booval. Any retinal surgery needed will be performed at the Ipswich Day Hospital. Contact – The Eye Health Centre.

title: All about the swiss cheese plant

text:
The Swiss Cheese plant (also known as Monstera adansonii) with its distinctive holes in its large, heart-shaped leaves can be a wonderful addition to your living room. This beautiful tropical plant is native to South- and Central America and as you could probably guess, it loves humid (above 50%) and warm conditions (above 40°F).
There are several popular variations of the Swiss Cheese plant:
- Monstera deliciosa (larger leaves)
- Monstera borsigiana (smaller size, faster growth rate)
- Mostera obliqua (thinner leaves with more holes)
Regular watering (weekly) is probably the most important aspect of taking care of a Swiss Cheese plant. Keeping them moist but not soaking wet is key, so choosing the appropriate potting mix is a must. Whenever you feel like the soil in the pot is drying, it is time for watering. Just do not get carried away with it!
To keep them happy, you can also stick a stake in the pot next to it, because they like to climb using their aerial roots.
As mentioned before, these plants are tropical ones, so you also need to ensure humid and warm conditions, plus partial sunlight (never direct light). Misting the leaves every few days should do the trick, but also check on the temperature since they prefer 40°F+.
The Swiss Cheese plant can grow up to 13 ft. tall, so it is really up to you to prune it the way it stays at your preferred size.
- spider mites
The most common way of propagating a Swiss Cheese plant is by stem cuttings. Since regular pruning is required, this way you can make use of the removed stems.
Just cut off a stem (4 – 5 in., after the leaf node), plant it in potting mix, and leave it for a few months under bright but indirect light, with regular watering.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often to water swiss cheese plant?

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — Alibaba’s 13th annual 11.11 Global Shopping Festival 2021, the largest global event ever conducted by China’s e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, enriches the e-commerce ecosystem with a sustainability and inclusiveness approach this year.
Alibaba Group chief marketing officer Chris Tung said this year marks the largest festival to date with an emphasis on sustainability and inclusiveness for retailers, merchants and public consumers.
“This year, the festival focuses on inclusivity and sustainability featuring more than 290,000 participating brands, with over 14 million deals for more than 900 million consumers in China. This is an opportunity for more consumers to be engaged with more brands from all over the world.
“This will make it an even more meaningful one for all while aiming to play a vital and influential role in encouraging sustainable action and promoting inclusivity in society,” he said.
He said this in a press conference via zoom, in conjunction with the upcoming Alibaba 11.11 Global Shopping Festival 2021.
Tung said the group currently focuses on building up its value system for the community and the society at large with new initiatives centering on the sustainability of eco-friendly approaches and social good through the ‘Goods for Good’ programme.
“For the very first time, Tmall (an open business-to-consumer (B2C) platform) will be featuring a dedicated vertical to showcase energy-efficient and low-impact products. This includes issuing RMB100 million worth of ‘green’ vouchers, developing new products with lower carbon footprints with brand partners and creating plastic-free and recyclable packaging.
“Over the past 15 years, the Goods for Good programme has helped people more than 43 million times.
“Some of its noticeable projects included providing more than three million times of medical support, installing water purification systems in more than 200 rural schools, and providing nearly half a million free meals to elderly citizens living alone across the country,” he added.
Alibaba’s Goods for Good programme raises funds for good causes by enabling customers to donate a portion of the sales profit from their purchases to their chosen charitable organisation or project.
He added this year the group is also focusing on customer relationship management to provide members with better deals, services and access to different content and programmes in the e-commerce ecosystem.
“There are three main initiatives driven to support the merchants in the celebration, through livestreaming upgrade, improving the content marketing features on Taobao platform and launching new membership programmes as well as management capabilities to create more engagement opportunities with brand members,” he said.
Moreover, this year’s celebration provides bigger discounts and deals, earlier pre-sale orders and the debut of social sharing features to create more interactivity and impactful retail experiences.
Commenting on the success metrics for this year, Tung said Alibaba Group has been shifting its focus from pure Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) growth to sustainable growth.
“We are indeed optimistic about the overall results, but more importantly, we are committed to building the future for the economy and online consumption.
“We want to leverage the influence and reach of 11.11 to not only sell products but also to emphasise the importance of shifting to more sustainable consumption lifestyles,” he said. — Bernama


title: Ce marking

text:
CE Marking is a crucial product compliance mark that is legally recognised in twenty-seven European Union countries, the European Free Trade Area, and Switzerland. This marking indicates that a product meets the necessary health, safety, and environmental protection requirements established by EU legislation.
The abbreviation “CE” stands for “Conformité Européenne,” meaning European Conformity in French. CE marking is mandatory for a wide range of products, including most construction-related items, electronics, medical devices, machinery, and more. This ensures that these products can be sold throughout the European Economic Area (EEA) without restrictions.
The Declaration of Performance (DOP) is an essential document supporting the CE marking. It contains comprehensive information about the manufacturer, the product, and its performance characteristics, ensuring transparency and traceability. The DOP provides details such as the intended use of the product, its technical specifications, and conformity assessment procedures it has undergone. This document is critical for manufacturers, importers, and distributors to demonstrate compliance with EU regulations.
It’s important to note that the CE label on a product is just a brief summary of the information provided in the Declaration of Performance document. The CE marking itself includes the CE logo and, when applicable, a four-digit identification number of the notified body involved in the conformity assessment. The presence of the CE mark signifies that the product has been assessed and meets all applicable EU directives and regulations.
In summary, CE marking is a vital compliance mark ensuring that products meet EU standards for safety, health, and environmental protection. The accompanying Declaration of Performance document provides detailed information, ensuring that the CE mark is not just a symbol but a comprehensive assurance of product conformity.

APEC 2024 Thought Leadership Forums Highlight Importance of Power Sector
Veröffentlicht April 17, 2024 von Joanna Climer
Once again, this event underlined what a critically important role the power sector plays and will continue to play in the future - whether it’s sustainable generation of the energy people consume, the efficient deployment of electronics in the vehicles people drive, the appliances and machines used at home and at work, or the cloud-based tools and services that have become a part of people’s daily lives.
As with previous years, Advanced Energy’s APEC participation encompassed both the speaker program and the exposition. AE’s participation in the APEC conference program, for example, extended to presentations on powering commercial and horticultural lighting and delivering OCP-compliant power solutions to address AI processing workloads in data centers.
In addition, Conor Quinn, Advanced Energy’s senior director of Technical Strategy, organized, chaired and contributed to the ‘Topics in High-Voltage Components and Systems’ Industry Session. During the session, AE led with a discussion on the emerging field of electroporation for medical treatments, while other contributors covered topics ranging from aircraft electrification and the challenges of minimizing the form factor of high-voltage power supplies to the importance of circuit and field simulations and considerations for designing high-voltage power modules.
Conor Quinn said, “APEC covers a wide variety of power supply design and application issues, but high-voltage components and systems have often been under-represented.With this session, AE and our industry peers were able to educate and stimulate some very exciting discussions around this topic area.”
New product highlights
In the meantime, visitors to the Advanced Energy booth saw a variety of innovative, AC-DC and DC-DC power supply and sensing technologies for industrial, semiconductor, medical, IT, telecommunications and test and measurement applications. Among the highlights were the new NeoPower™ family of configurable power supplies, which deliver optimized power conversion in form factors up to four times smaller than conventional solutions, a number of ultra-high-efficiency hyperscale data center equipment server PSUs, and the FlexiCharge, an all-in-one high-voltage 1.5 kJ capacitor charger and low-voltage power supply.
An event that brings together equipment OEMs, power supply designers and component manufacturers, APEC is a perfect forum for promoting the latest technologies and understanding the trends and challenges that will shape and drive this exciting industry.
This year, many discussions focused on the effective deployment of wide bandgap gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) technologies to achieve performance, efficiency and sustainability design goals, while global electrification remains one of the key themes of a large number of conversations. Focus applications included renewable energy, electric vehicles, motor control and wireless power transfer. And, given the exponential growth of generative AI platforms, how to meet the power needs of datacenters and hyperscalers as they look to support resource-hungry cloud applications was a common theme throughout the event.
This year’s APEC once again brought into sharp focus how important the power sector is in almost every aspect of people’s daily lives. Constantly pushing the boundaries of power supply technology in terms of performance, efficiency and implementation flexibility will ensure we meet the growing demands of the sector while addressing key challenges ranging from form factor to environmental sustainability and operational cost to thermal management. Advanced Energy looks forward to highlighting how its engineered solutions can help customers achieve these goals at APEC 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.
