Endoscopy is a noninvasive procedure which is used to determine the presence of cancer in the patient.
Endoscopy is a noninvasive technique that is used to examine internal organs of the body to diagnose, establish stage, and treat cancer. In this process, an endoscope, a device with a camera, is put inside the body via mouth, anus or urethra. It can also be inserted through a small incision. The images hence captured through the tube-like device are then watched over a screen. It is useful in seeing organs like esophagus, chest, stomach, colon and rectum. Endoscopy is used in oral cancer to detect cancer at an early stage, to obtain a tissue sample, locating and removing an affected tissue, removing blockages in lungs, and determining the spread of the cancer.

Stokes shouldn't have been bowling at the death nor been at no.3. That was muddled thinking too.
I'm not blaming the media but the management for seemingly being influenced by the media hype.

Looking for New Partners in Scandinavia: SieMatic Plans to Take the North by Storm with its Premium Kitchens
20 Jun, 2012, 08:55 BST
LOEHNE, Germany, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
A long tradition connects SieMatic, the German furniture brand, with the Scandinavian countries. "We delivered our first kitchens here as early as the 1960s", recalls Ulrich W. Siekmann, the owner of SieMatic Möbelwerke. "Denmark was even our best export market." This family business with international significance wants to pick up again where it left off. Its aim now is to find new, competent and committed partners in the kitchen trade and, together with them, make the SieMatic trademark better known and even more successful in Denmark, and in Scandinavia in general.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120620/538055 )
There is a sturdy foundation to build on here, for SieMatic (http://www.siematic.com) enjoys a good public image, not least because its kitchens dating back to the 1960s and 1970s are still in use in many households. This speaks volumes for their unusual quality and longevity. These properties are esteemed just as much by the firm's worldwide partners as its special competence, reliability and flexibility. SieMatic - a family firm now in its third generation, producing exclusively in Germany - has a long tradition as a strong international business, exporting more than 70% of its production.
Locally based kitchen dealers are seen as important ambassadors. SieMatic selects its partners carefully and supports them with a whole range of services, from studio planning to trade marketing, advertising and training in the SieMatic academy, and on up to individual support activities on site.
Many dealers - like Øivind Sander of Oslo - are very proud to represent a brand with such a good name. A SieMatic sales partner since last year, he reports that his newly designed showroom is drawing lively interest from customers, and he is seeing the first upswings in sales. His success story further includes his entry into the project business - he has already delivered the first kitchens. Tommy Danefors, a Malmö-based partner for many years, who has made a market contribution to public awareness of SieMatic in Sweden since the 1990s, also expresses himself positively. Many customers have already ordered a second or even third kitchen from him.
"We don't regard the Scandinavian market as a homogeneous unity", says Ulrich W. Siekmann. Tastes and preferences vary widely. The diversity of his range, however, enables the brand manufacturer to satisfy individual wishes. "People are very aware of trends and design-oriented." This, he says, suits him wonderfully, as the SieMatic principle is "Preferring the best". This applies just as much to outstanding quality and well thought-out functions as to a diversity of designs.
Home life, sociability and comfort are especially important in a region where daily routine and the perception of life are strongly influenced by long winters. "We at SieMatic understand this need only too well." Cooking, dining, living and working areas, which in earlier times were often functionally separated, are increasingly being merged. The premium kitchen manufacturer recognized this at an early stage and can offer plans that cater for all the areas of life.

Bank of America's propaganda machine wants everyone to believe that Ken Lewis and BAC were as shocked as everyone else when Merrill suddenly revealed a $15.5 billion Q4 loss. Bank of America has thus far refused to provide details about this loss, however, sparking questions about how, when, and why it happened.
Bank of America has said that the loss mostly happened in December--presumably between the shareholder meeting on December 5th, when it assured shareholders that everything was a-okay, and December 17th, when Ken Lewis flew to Washington to threaten to invoke a material adverse change clause unless Paulson and Bernanke bailed him out again.
The early story was that Merrill sustained violent trading losses in December. No one can figure out, however, why this would have happpened in December, when the markets were calm, instead of in November, when they crashed. Ex Merrill CEO John Thain, meanwhile, said publicly that the losses did not come from trading but from legacy Merrill assets, triggering further questions. Again, BOFA has offered no clarification.
In the absence of facts, we can only speculate, so here's one possible explanation for what happened:
- Merrill sustained big losses in November
- Bank of America went ahead with the shareholder meeting and got approval for the deal
- Ken Lewis learned about the November losses, knew he would be savaged for arranging the deal, and flew to Washington to threaten to walk unless Paulson and Bernanke gave him a sweetheart bailout.
- Lewis got a secret agreement from Paulson and Bernanke that the taxpayer would cover him.
- Knowing it had a deal in hand, Bank of America then ordered Merrill to take severe writedowns on existing assets to minimize the likelihood that it would have to take these writedowns later. These writedowns came at the end of December, thus producing the December "losses." (And thus conforming with Thain's story that the losses came from existing assets).
- Bank of America claimed to be shocked by the extent of the losses.
What would all this accomplish? It would allow Ken Lewis and Bank of America to deflect criticism that they had spent $50 billion on an asset that was actually worth nothing (Merrill). It would support the story that the losses were all Thain and Merrill's fault. It would allow Lewis to say that Paulson and Bernanke wanted him to go forward with the deal for the good of the country.
It would also explain why the losses came in "December," as well as why Bank of America has yet to explain them.
Any other theories? (Or, better yet, knowledge?) Please share!

What a pleasant surprise to find that Google Home integration is now working with Sonoff devices. After linking eWeLink with Google Home, I can now perform these functions:
- turn on/off lights, coffee, tv/stereo, etc just by simple voice commands
- with Google Home's room function, I can say turn off Kitchen and the whole kitchen shuts down - lights, coffee, and other cookers obey in one command.
So the next step in home automation will be integration with IFTTT. With this, a whole new range of wondrous capabilities can happen:
- turn on/off lights, tv/stereo, heater/AC, etc. automatically when you go/leave home
- log device activities in Google spreadsheets for later analysis
- turn on heaters at home or in green room, etc. when weather reports say it's getting cold
- many-many more
Please Itead make this happen and your devices will be in greater use and demand.
@Lodgemoorlad. You have the latest firmware for the TH10 (2.0.4) so it's not a firmware issue. I have 2 TH10s controlling my heating system via IFTTT so this is achievable. Sorry there is not enough info for me to comment further.
I live in a large house with heating working on two independent zones upstairs and downstairs. I have TH10s with temperature probe on each level. It is impractical to run cables from the TH10s so as the temperature goes above/ below the threshold temperature set on the TH10 (set to 18 degrees upper and lower) an IFTTT trigger is sent to the appropriate zone valve controlled by single channel sonoff switches to open/close and in addition, on the living level, IFTTT messages are sent to the fan assisted radiators to turn on/ off the fans, again using IFTTT. I am about to change the zone valve control to a single 4 channel unit controlling the heating and additionally the hot water. I have never tried the proximity trigger via IFTT, i assume you are using GPS settings via your phone?
Just a thought. sounds like you may be using the TH10 to turn on heating as you get close to your home? The auto settings will, override any IFTTT message if the conditions are not in range for the activation condition for example if you have your temp settings at at say 17 low, 19 high then if the temp is 18 any activation request will be ignored
Please don't be offended by this but you have linked your IFTTT account to your Ewelink account correctly? You can add more than one IFTTT trigger to the same event. Maybe set another rule to send an email when in GPS range; it's a handy way of confirming the rule is triggering correctly. At least that would confirm that the GPS event is triggering and the problem lies specifically to the sonoff device(s)
IFTTT integration works fine, but I can't make several one channel devices work simultaneously. Something like: "ok google, switch off the living room" --> IFTTT sends a request in order to shutdown four one-channel devices.
Have any idea?
I've successfully turned on and off 3 individual sonoff switches with a webhooks maker event. Create the same THIS trigger 3 times (same event name) and configure your THAN with the different sonoff devices you want to control.

10 December 2018 :
David Earl Miller was executed in the state's electric chair. Miller, 61, White, a man with a significant history of mental illness who experienced extensive sexual and physical abuse as a child, opted to be executed by electric chair after the Tennessee Supreme Court denied other prisoners' challenges to a three-drug lethal-injection process that Miller and his lawyers believed would result in an extended torturous death. Miller is the 2nd Tennessee prisoner to be killed by electrocution in as many months. Edmund Zagorski was executed in the electric chair in November. After going nearly a decade without an execution, Tennessee has now carried out 3 at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville this year. Miller, the longest-serving prisoner on Tennessee's death row, had been awaiting death for nearly 37 years. The Tennessee prisoners challenged the state's three-drug lethal-injection process, seeking to replace it with execution with a single barbiturate, pentobarbital. Miller presented evidence that the three-drug protocol would result in approximately 18 minutes of unnecessary pain and suffering. He submitted an affidavit from one of the nation's leading anesthesiologists that Billy Ray Irick "was aware and sensate" during his lethal-injection execution on October 11, 2018 "and would have experienced the feeling of choking, drowning in his own fluids, suffocating, being buried alive, and the burning sensation caused by the injection of the potassium chloride." The prisoners' challenge was rejected because Miller—prevented from obtaining critical information by Tennessee's execution secrecy law—was unable to show that pentobarbital was readily available to the state. Miller elected to be executed in the electric chair, but argued that his choice of electrocution instead of lethal injection was coerced and that both methods were unconstitutionally cruel and unusual. The lower courts ruled that Miller had waived his challenge to constitutionality of the electric chair by choosing it over lethal injection, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene. In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote that "electrocution can be a dreadful way to die," but there was "credible scientific evidence that lethal injection as currently practiced in Tennessee may well be even worse." It was "perverse," she said, to require prisoners to prove that an alternative method was available to kill them. "Such madness should not continue." Miller was charged with murdering his intellectually-disabled girlfriend, Lee Standifer, on May 20, 1981. He was 24 years old at the time. Miller's attorneys submitted an 89-page clemency petition to Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam detailing Miller's upbringing and childhood abuse. Miller becomes the 3rd inmate to be put to death this year in Tennessee and the 9th overall since the state resumed capital punishment in 2000. Miller becomes the 23rd inmate to be put to death this year in the USA and the 1,488 overall since the nation resumed executions on January 17, 1977. The 23 executions equals the total of executions carried out in the USA last year; there are executions scheduled in Texas (Dec. 11) and Florida (Dec. 13) next week.

Passion Projects 13 June 2019
Our PYP Exhibition finally came to fruition and the showing was awesome!
What confidence and passion our students showed during the Exhibition presentations! They presented to a variety of audiences including teachers, parents and students from Seisen International School and a wider community. All our audiences were amazed by the effort that students invested in their own inquiry and displayed a significant learning journey. It was obvious that our students are committed to making in the world a better place.
When they spoke about the differences in themselves as learners from the beginning to the end of the process, our audiences were very impressed by the honesty and depth of the students' reflections.
Our final unit for this year will give students the opportunity to use the skills they have gained during Exhibition and we hope they will continue to use these skills in their life.

is it possible to create filters only for episodes?
These are the current filters:
This wouldn't work with shows like "The Night Of" that have episodes numbered by Part[\s\S][1-9] or anime with episodes numbered -[\s\S](\d+)[\s\S][\[\(]
Edit: I tried adding [\s\S]-[\s\S](\d{1})(\d{1})[\s\S][\[\(] in order to match the first number as season and the second as episode but it doesn't work. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
RSS Filter shows without season!!!
Discuss suggestions and ideas for the forums, site, software.

The fundamentals of fixed protection
It's no longer just the super-rich who need to be concerned about the Lifetime Allowance (LTA). A pension value which might appear modest today could be on track to breach the LTA by the time the individual retires. Regular contributions made by individuals and employers, coupled with compounding interest and investment growth, can push a pension value into the danger zone.
Each time the LTA has been reduced, new forms of protection have been made available. The last change was made in April 2016, when the allowance was reduced from £1.25 million to £1 million.
Applications are still open for FP16, which provides a fixed LTA of £1.25 million. No deadline has been set and it is still possible to apply for those who haven't saved into a pension since.
Late application for earlier forms of protection
Ordinarily, for HMRC to allow a late application, the individual must be able to satisfy two limbs of the statutory test. Limb one is reasonable excuse and limb two is reasonable delay. Application deadlines for FP12 and FP14 have now closed but three tribunal cases from recent years illustrated how the statutory test is applied in practice and whether a late application for protection can still be made: Twaite v HMRC, Tipping v HMRC and Jackson v HMRC.
It is worth noting these cases relate to the late application of enhanced protection rather than fixed protection; although I would hope HMRC would apply its discretion consistently, we are yet to see if this is the case.
Genuine error
Individuals continue to accidentally make contributions after applying for fixed protection. Therefore it's important to check clients understand and contributions are not re-started as this mistake can be costly and result in the protection being revoked.
If an individual mistakenly makes a contribution into their pension, ordinarily it could not be refunded, meaning protection is lost. If, on the other hand, the individual instructed their employer or bank to cancel the same payment and they did not do so, then that contribution could potentially be refunded under HMRC genuine error rules.
Interestingly, in the Hymanson v HMRC case – where Mr Hymanson forgot to cancel his direct debit – the judge ruled against HMRC and that the protection must be reinstated. Whilst this pragmatic ruling is refreshing, it doesn't necessarily mean the outcome can be applied on a wider basis.
Consumer Prices Index (CPI)
When the LTA increases to more than the protected amount, protection will be lost and the individual's LTA will be the standard higher LTA. This should take approximately nine years based on an average CPI increase of 2% per year, showing the value of existing protection.
Auto enrolment
Falling foul of auto enrolment (AE) rules whilst holding protection can be an expensive oversight. Industry experts believe it's likely a large number of individuals have revoked their protection by failing to opt out of their workplace scheme within the one month cooling-off period. Approximately 7,000* breaches have been recorded since the introduction of AE, with a particular spike after 2017 coinciding with the roll-out of reforms to smaller businesses.

At what can be a very difficult time, further turmoil is unwelcome. A deduction of a pension debit from a member's pension will not result in the loss of FP16, so the remaining funds will continue to be protected. Although, if the member elects to make contributions to build up the pension again, the protection would be revoked as this is classed as benefit accrual.
On the other hand, if an ex-spouse or ex-civil partner with FP16 receives a pension credit, they could lose their protection if the transfer is made to a new arrangement, as this would not be a permitted transfer. If the pension credit is paid to an existing arrangement which is a money purchase arrangement, FP16 would not be lost. If it is made to a defined benefit arrangement, FP16 may be lost but this would only be determined when the benefit accrual for the tax year is calculated.
Benefit Crystallisation Events
Whilst it is preferable to have protection in place before benefits are taken, this cannot always be the case. Irrespective of the date FP16 is applied for, the protection is effective from 6 April 2016.
If an individual has taken benefits before applying for FP16, any Benefit Crystallisation Events (BCEs) after 6 April 2016 will need to be revisited using £1.25 million LTA instead. That applies to all pension providers where a BCE has taken place. Also worth noting is that, if a client takes protected tax-free cash which results in an overpayment, this could be an unauthorised payment.
Savers must adhere to HMRC's rules, which in relation to the pension's landscape can be extremely difficult to navigate. Legislation should be simplified to help savers contribute towards their retirement without being penalised unnecessarily.

In the next couple of weeks don't be surprised if you see an email from me
begging asking if you'd like to review my debut novel. I'm nothing if not thorough (and a little overzealous). But despite spending months scouring the internet and compiling a pretty lengthy wish list of bloggers who I'd love to read The Things They Didn't Bury, I know I've barely scratched the surface.
So if you have a blog and you'd like to review my book I would be happy to send you a copy as soon as it is available! Just send me an email at laekan (dot) zea (dot) kemp (at) gmail (dot) com
