On Fear - Part 6
The ten scouts who succumbed to fear and brought back a bad report and stirred up the people to mutiny, died on the spot at Kadesh-Barnea. God struck them dead. The rest of the people, the adult generation of Israel died without entering the Promised Land. God made sure of that.
What's so remarkable about this story is that fear prevented them from experiencing God's best. God had something in store for them so much better than their minds had conceived, but their fear caused them to miss out. Fear leads to destruction not flourishing. Fear leads to punishment not blessing. Fear causes us to miss out.
So what is fear's kryptonite?
You remember the story in Mark 4? Jesus orchestrates a boat trip across the lake, promptly falls asleep as a substantial tempest begins buffeting the boat. It was severe enough to strike fear in the seasoned fishermen on board. In a panic they wake the sleeping Jesus only to be greeted with an indicting question: where is your faith? Jesus links their fear with a lack of faith. And then after calming the storm, the disciples ask that infamous question: who is this? Which explains why they reacted the way they did. Their response of fear betrayed the fact they didn't really know Jesus. So how do we get to know Jesus in such a way that we don't shrink back in fear? Well, it's not about reading more about Jesus. It's not about studying words a page or writing a paper. Knowing Jesus in a manner that inoculates us against fear is about living in a certain way, not just thinking a certain thing.
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead (Philippians 3:7-11).
In order to truly know Christ like Paul is describing isn't an intellectual exercise. It's an experiential exercise. Truly knowing Christ requires suffering and death. If we recoil from suffering, we will never truly know Christ the way we were meant to.
Paul wants to know Christ so much he desires to to suffer and die so he can experience resurrection from the dead. Keep in mind, this is the same book in which Paul says,
"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far..." (Philippians 1:21-23).
Don't make God take you from this earth kicking and screaming as you claw and scratch to try to stay here. That certainly was not Paul's approach. Not only did he not shrink back from the things that cause most of us to crumble in fear, he pressed forward into them because he knew "this is the way I know Christ in a way I don't currently."
On Fear - Part 5
Fear distorts reality.
Fear produces irrational responses.
Fear instigates mutiny.
Fear is a statement about God.
This is the ground we've covered so far. Let's start hitting at some solutions. How do we deal with fear?
In our Numbers 13-14 passage, God sent 12 leaders to scout the land. Ten of them succumbed to fear. But two did not: Caleb and Joshua. Why is Joshua and Caleb's response so different from the other 10? Purportedly, all twelve of these individuals have had the same experience thus far from the time they exited Egypt to the time they arrived at the southern border of the Promised Land. Why are Joshua and Caleb in such a difference place than the other 10? The answer is simple: they know, remember, and trust what God had said about their mission.
Then the Lord said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey… - Exodus 3:7-8
God said and promised to bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey. Joshua and Caleb know what God had said, remembered what God had said, and trusted what God had said.
Fear flourishes with ignorance, forgetfulness, and distrust. Just a few years later, God comes to Joshua, who is now leading the people of Israel and this is what he says…
Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." – Joshua 1:5-9
Notice within the same train of thought, God connects the command to be strong and courageous with meditating on the Scriptures. Here in Joshua 1, God is commanding the opposite of what took place in Number 13-14. And the command to be strong and courageous doesn't stand alone as if it is produced through rugged determination. There's a connection between strength and courage and meditating on God's Word.
If you do not have a robust, disciplined, consistent, deep, thoughtful devotional life, you are making yourself vulnerable to fear. Overcoming fear is not a matter of willpower. Fear flourishes in the vacuum of an anemic devotional life.
What is it about a robust, disciplined, consistent, deep, thoughtful devotional life that expels fears? Well, I think this kind of devotional life possesses a reorienting power. The ten scouts who succumbed to fear were comparing themselves to the giants in the land. Joshua and Caleb were comparing the giants to God. Do you see in the story how the ten who succumbed to fear were self-concentrating? They were preoccupied with comparing themselves to the task in front of them. Where is God in their picture? He's missing. They are functional atheists. Fear is functional atheism. Meanwhile, Joshua and Caleb were leaving themselves out of the equation. Instead of self-concentrating by comparing themselves to the giants they were God-concentrating. They were comparing the giants to God. They were comparing the mission in front of them to God. That's what led them to say, "Let's go! Let's go get it!"
Eighty years ago, as Notre Dame was preparing to play the USC Trojans in college football, Fighting Irish coach Knute Rockne was aware that his opponent had a far better team. So he devised a plan to intimidate the opposing players.
Rockne scoured the city of South Bend, Indiana (Notre Dame's hometown), and hand-picked 100 of the largest men he could find—each at least six-foot-five and 300 pounds. He put the men in Fighting Irish uniforms and, at game time, marched them onto the field ahead of the real team. (Obviously, this was before the days of limited rosters and eligibility restrictions.)
As USC watched those giants line up on the sidelines, they forgot about their talent and their undefeated record, and they began mentally preparing themselves for a beating. Though none of the specially recruited men played during the game, their presence on the sidelines was enough to knock Southern Cal's concentration off balance. Knute Rockne's trick had worked; he had intimidated the Trojan players into giving up before the game even started.
This is how fear flourishes – when all our concentration is spent comparing ourselves to the giants; comparing ourselves to the challenges in front of us. Joshua and Caleb didn't do that. They compared the giants to God; the mission to God; the challenge to God and said, "Let's go."

Workers' compensation insurance is required for all farms who have employees.
The spouse and minor children (under 18 years old) of a farmer are NOT counted as employees under the WCL as long as they are NOT under an express contract of hire.
If a farm labor contractor recruits or supplies farm laborers for work on a farm, such farm laborers are generally deemed employees of the farmer.
Note: On July 17, 2019, Governor Cuomo signed the Farm Workers Bill into law, which removed the $1,200 threshold for farms required to have workers' compensation coverage and requires employers to post the required workers' compensation notice of compliance poster for workers in both English and Spanish. Additionally, it extends disability and Paid Family Leave benefits coverage to eligible farm laborers. The new law took effect January 1, 2020.

If you watch Ladies of London, no doubt you have a favorite — or favourite — gal. (And if you don't watch Ladies of London, what is wrong with you?) I know Caroline Stanbury isn't everyone's cup of English Breakfast tea, but the woman's won my heart, hook, line and sinker.
Stanbury's recent New Year's Eve antics were — to quote Countess de Lesseps — "all uncool." But I don't care. I love her anyway. While some people heart Juliet Angus, I'm Team Caroline all the way.
More: Ladies of London fans attack Marissa for letting fame change her
Here are eight reasons Team Caroline Stanbury is the only team.
1. She truly doesn't care what you think
It's rare to meet someone who truly does not care what other people think in this world — like, from the bottom of their soul. Stanbury is definitely one of those people. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's beautiful and rich, but still! She's out to do her and her only. #respect
2. She can laugh at herself
Our office renovations are complete! Check out CEO Caroline Stanbury on her new throne! -GLx pic.twitter.com/4nYbG0YD4t
— Gift Library (@giftlibrary) July 24, 2013
Ever see Stanbury's office at the Gift Library? There's a dartboard with her picture on it right in the main area. How could you not love someone who pokes fun at themselves like that?
3. Despite her tough exterior, she really does have a big heart
OK, so the whole unicorn onesie humping thing was out of line, but Stanbury does care about Angus. When Angus started crying to her about how she wanted to have Thanksgiving at a house instead of at Marissa Hermer's restaurant, Stanbury immediately offered up her home.
4. She's the only person who could look like this in the middle of the desert
Need I say more? Wow.

4. Despite her fabness, she's a regular mom
Well, maybe not a regular mom, but look — she took her three kids to Universal Studios and walked around like the rest of us.
5. She can say things that no one else in this world can
6. She's not afraid to be confident
No shrinking violet here. Stanbury knows she's fabulous and she owns it. Good for her.

7. She's more than a pretty face
Despite the fact that she's married to a rich man — and has dated the likes of Prince Andrew and Hugh Grant — Stanbury still works. She built her business, the Gift Library, from the ground up and runs it on her own.
8. She makes the show
Whether you love her or hate her, there's no denying the fact that Ladies of London wouldn't be Ladies of London without Caroline Stanbury.

I am going to open this mini-review of the Justice League movie with this statement, DC books were the first american superhero comic books I started collecting, it started on a rainy afternoon in the early 1990's, in the Waterstones bookstore in the heart of Leicester. I picked up Justice League Europe (part of the Giffen era) and I was hooked. It was humor, super-heroics, paced action and sang with the joy of hope. I was hooked and spent a lot to time and money, back collecting Justice League, International, Europe and a few crossovers. So, it is safe to say I've been fan of DC for over 25 years.

Anaesthetist Cleared of Assault
Stephen Hooper successfully defended a Consultant Anaesthetist who was charged with one count of assaulting a patient, and faced a two-day trial at Brighton Magistrates Court. The allegation was that the doctor had inserted a nasogastric tube into the patient's nose in the knowledge that she had either not consented, or had withdrawn her consent and that in doing so he had assaulted her. After the close of the prosecution case, the defence made an submission that there was no case to answer, the District Judge dismissed the case and the doctor was acquitted.

I am very active with my work, social life, and activities and independent. In her mind if you never accept the gospel you are denying her eternal exaltation as a God. Toxic is the right word. This is something that's very important to her, and it's difficult to be married to someone who doesn't share the same values.

O hostel é simples, mas achei-o limpo e bem localizado, visto ser muito próximo da Igreja de São Francisco no Pelourinho. No entanto, por estar no Centro, a rua fica esquisita à noite por todo o comércio estar fechado. O café da manhã é simples, mas suficiente (café, leite, pão, queijo, presunto, um tipo de suco de fruta e uma fruta). O wifi funciona bem. O dono é simpático e atencioso. O quarto tinha ar condicionado e ventilador.

Good Place to get wow classic gold for sale with Free for Wargames in Classic WoW
Persistence Market Research - Thursday, May 14, 2020.
Submitted by RSorder.
balbIn a recent player discovery by Twitch streamer Yesmasterx, Classic WoW fully supports wargames in Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and even Alterac Valley. The feature even supports Horde versus Horde and Alliance versus Alliance wargames. Back in February, the idea of wargames and spectator functionality was speculated to be a feature added to WoW, based on the PTR update. New global strings were added to the game such as "BINDING_NAME_COMMENTATORFOLLOW_1_15", which are similar to strings used in the Arena spectator mode for Retail's Arena tournaments. Buy wow classic gold cheap
As of the time of this article being written, Blizzard hasn't made a Blue post mentioning Wargame functionality in Classic WoW at all. Many prominent Classic WoW community figures are already looking to host Warsong Gulch tournaments, most notably Method streamer Tipsoutbaby.
How to create a Wargame
1. Two groups need to be formed, with a minimum of 5 for Warsong Gulch. Each group's faction does not matter.
2. Both group leaders need to have each other on Battle.net Friends list.
3. One group leader should use the command /wargame [battle.net ID here] warsong to send a challenge to the other group. For example, if my battle.net ID is set to "rokman" you would type "/wargame rokman warsong" to challenge my group to a match. You don't need the #1234 at the end of a battle.net tag to send a challenge.
4. Both groups should receive a queue that pops almost instantly and then you are in the match!
How to create a Wargame with spectators
1. Three groups need to be formed, with a minimum of 5 for Warsong Gulch. Each group's faction does not matter. The third group is the spectator group. The spectator group doesn't require a group for the functionality to work, a single spectator can join, if they wish.
2. All group leaders need to have each other on Battle.net Friends list.
3. The leader of the spectator group will use the command /invitespectatormatch [group1 Battle.net ID] [group2 Battle.net ID] 0 warsong to send a challenge to both groups. For example, if you were trying to setup a spectator match between myself and yesmasterx, you would type "/invitespectatormatch rokman yesmaster 0 warsong" to invite both groups to join your match. Spectators can not be added to a match once it has started.
4. All three groups should receive a queue that pops almost instantly and then you are in the match!
5. Players in the spectator group will gain access to a new keybind panel called "Commentator", allowing them to setup keybinds for camera settings.What to do during pre-summer?

Last night I called Derek to wish him a happy birthday. Today he is 23. I also conveyed Alex's birthday greetings.
My timing was perfect because he'd just returned home from a church service where he operates the sound system. The work that's taken center stage in his life is the youth group in his church. He treats it like his full-time job, even though he holds down two part-time jobs with landscaping firms to make ends meet.
The church youth group is the main trunk of his flourishing social life. Derek is happy.
Derek is taking a couple classes at a nearby junior college where he has decided to major in public relations. I think it is a good choice for him. He is an excellent communicator and is already being invited to schools and other places where he has been asked to share what he calls his "testimony." These speaking gigs are helping him to think more deeply into his life, the choices he has made along the way, and where he is taking his future.
"I still have a lot of things to work through," he said. He is currently researching the lifetime effects of childhood abandonment—not as a way of justifying past deeds, but as a way of understanding them and intentionally living a desired future.
I took the opportunity to remind him that I will be here for him for as long as I'm alive, which I now believe will be a longer time than I'd previously believed. "Aw, I already know that," he replied in a tone of voice that suggested I was guilty again of stating the obvious. But I could tell he appreciated it nevertheless.
He asked how things were going for Alex, and I was sorry to report that Alex seems to have been abandoned by most of his old support network. "I've been feeling like the last man standing. Everyone else has a good reason for not being able to help, but to me it feels like Alex is being left hanging—kind of like 'you had your chance and screwed up, you're on your own now.' Right now we're in the hands of public defenders in Pensacola and Okeechobee, and they don't even return my phone calls or e-mails," I said. "Without a bucket of money I'm having a devil of a time finding Alex competent counsel."
Derek seemed disappointed but not surprised. Having been raised in the foster care and juvenile detention systems, Derek has been conditioned not to expect much from the system.
Alex doesn't expect much either, and asks for little.
(I've just written these words and the phone has rung. It is an attorney from Pensacola who had been recommended to me by a US Attorney. This man has done enough research to know what we are up against. He has even lined up potential co-counsel in South Florida. He says he will visit Alex today and get back to me with a decision about whether he will take the case.)
Keep your fingers crossed and please be prepared to help if he and his colleague need our help. We must keep Alex out of detention if he is to be allowed to continue making a positive life for himself. He had been doing so well—so perfectly—until this. A traffic accident and a moment of panic must not be allowed to return Alex to prison.

Pages 83-86Nowadays, many researches in the field of medicine are conducting all around the world and medical journalism is a way to share the results. In fact, dissemination of the related manuscripts can prevent the repetitive research or may even lead to conducting a better survey. Therefore high quality medical journals are considered as up-to-date resources for further investigations. Medical journals are propagating their papers in various media including television programs, newspapers, internet websites and different social media. So they can influence the government policy makers, health-care professionals and even public. Moreover, most researchers hear about medical discoveries for the first time through medical journals and their related social media. So as well a high quality journal can help to improve medical science, a journal of poor quality can be damaging and distorting. Indeed, popular journals have the power of inventing a "communication storm" to draw attention to a certain topic. Thus they have to respect the accepted international principles to prevent spreading inaccurate and misleading data. This paper aims to review the previous and current situation of medical journalism by focus on field of emergency medicine.Keywords: Medical Journalism, Emergency, Medicine, Manuscript, Research
Pages 89-94IntroductionN-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunits antibody (NR2-ab) is a sensitive marker of ischemic brain damage in clinical circumstances, such as cerebrovascular accidents. We aimed to assess the value of serum NR2-ab in predicting the post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) survival.MethodsIn this cohort study, we examined serum NR2-ab levels 1 hour after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in 49 successfully resuscitated patients. Patients with traumatic or asphyxic arrests, prior neurological insults, or major medical illnesses were excluded. Participants were followed until death or hospital discharge. Demographic data, coronary artery disease risk factors, time before initiation of CPR, and CPR duration were documented. In addition, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), blood pressure, and survival status of patients were recorded at 1, 6, 24, and 72 hour(s) after ROSC. Descriptive analyses were performed, and the Cox proportional hazard model was applied to assess if NR2-ab level is an independent predictive factor of survival.Results49 successfully resuscitated patients were evaluated; 27 (55%) survived to hospital discharge, 4 (8.1%) were in vegetative state, 10 (20.4%) were physically disabled, and 13 (26.5%) were physically functional. Within 72 hours of ROSC all of the 12 NR2-ab positive patients died. In contrast, 31 (84%) of the NR2-ab negative patients survived. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios of NR2-ab in prediction of survival were 54.5% (95%CI=32.7%-74.9%), 100% (95%CI=84.5%-100%), infinite, and 45.5% (95%CI=28.8%-71.8%), respectively. Subsequent analysis showed that both NR2-ab status and GCS were independent risk factors of death.ConclusionsA positive NR2-ab serum test 1 hour after ROSC correlated with lower 72-hour survival. Further studies are required to validate this finding and demonstrate the value of a quantitative NR2-ab assay and its optimal time of measurement.Keywords: NR2, outcome, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, survival
Pages 95-98IntroductionStroke is recognized as the third cause of mortality after cardiovascular and cancer diseases, so that lead to death of about 5 million people, annually. There are several scales to early prediction of at risk patients and decreasing the rate of mortality by transferring them to the stroke center. In the present study, the accuracy of Cincinnati pre-hospital stroke scale was assessed.MethodsThis was a retrospective cross-sectional study done to assess accuracy of Cincinnati scale in prediction of stroke probability in patients referred to the emergency department of Poursina Hospital, Rasht, Iran, 2013 with neurologic symptoms. Three criteria of Cincinnati scale including facial droop, dysarthria, and upper extremity weakness as well as the final diagnosis of patients were gathered. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios of Cincinnati scale were calculated using SPSS version 20.Results448 patients were assessed. The agreement rate of Cincinnati scale and final diagnosis was 0.483 ± 0.055 (p<0.0001). The sensitivity of 93.19% (95% Cl: 90.11-95.54), specificity of 51.85% (95% Cl: 40.47-63.10), positive predictive value of 89.76% (95% Cl: 86.27-92.62), negative predictive value of 62.69% (95% Cl: 55.52-72.45), positive likelihood ratio of 1.94% (95% Cl: 1.54-2.43), and negative likelihood ratio of 0.13% (95% Cl: 0.09-0.20) were calculated.ConclusionIt seems that pre-hospital Cincinnati scale can be an appropriate screening tool in prediction of stroke in patients with acute neurologic syndromes.Keywords: Stroke, decision support techniques, facial paralysis, dysarthria, early diagnosis
Comparison of the Analgesic Effect of Intravenous Acetaminophen and Morphine Sulfate in Rib Fracture; a Randomized Clinical TrialPages 99-102IntroductionRib fracture is one of the common causes of trauma disabilities in many events and the outcome of these patients are very extensive from temporary pain management to long-term significant disability. Control and management of the pain in such patients is one of the most important challenges in emergency departments. Thus, the aim of the present study was assessing the efficacy of IV acetaminophen in pain control of patients with rib fracture.MethodsIn this double-blind study, 54 patients over 18 years of age, referred to two educational hospitals with rib fracture, were entered. Patients were randomly categorized in two groups of morphine sulfate (0.1 milligram per kilogram of body weight) and IV acetaminophen (1gram), as single-dose infused in 100 cc normal saline. The pain severity was measured by Numeric Rating Scale on arrival and 30 minutes after drug administration. At least three scores reduction was reported as therapeutic success.ResultsThe mean and standard deviation of patients' age was 41.2 ± 14.1 years. There is no difference in gender (p=0.24) and age frequency (p=0.77) between groups. 30 minutes after drug administration the mean of pain severity were 5.5 ± 2.3 and 4.9 ± 1.7 in morphine and acetaminophen groups, respectively (p=0.23). Success rate in morphine and acetaminophen groups were 58.6% (95% Cl: 39.6-77.7) and 80% (95% Cl: 63.2-96.7), respectively, (p=0.09). Only 3 (5.6%) patients had dizziness (p=0.44) and other effects were not seen in any of patients.ConclusionThe findings of the present study shows that intravenous acetaminophen and morphine have the same therapeutic value in relieving the pain of rib fracture. The success rate after 30 minutes drug administration were 80% and 58.6% in acetaminophen and morphine groups, respectively. Presentation of side effects was similar in both groups.Keywords: Acetaminophen, morphine, pain management, rib fractures
Brief Emergency Department Patient Satisfaction Scale (BEPSS); Development of a New Practical InstrumentPages 103-108IntroductionMethodologically correct assessment of patient satisfaction (PS) plays a crucial role for quality-improvement purposes. Evaluation of Iranian literature on emergency department's PS resulted in an emerging need for developing a new instrument with satisfactory psychometric properties. The present study, aimed to develop and initially validate a scale to measure PS in emergency departments.MethodsA sample of 301 patients was selected in 2014 from two hospitals in Tehran. A pool of 24 items was prepared for administering. An item analysis was conducted to evaluate the quality of each item. Validity and reliability of the scale were evaluated. The data were analyzed using SPSS.ResultsItem analysis and exploratory factor analysis yielded in a 20-item scale in five domains named emergency department staff, emergency department environment, physician care satisfaction, general patient satisfaction, and patient's family's satisfaction. Validity and factor structure of the scale were reported satisfactory. Reliability coefficients of the domains ranged between 0.75 and 0.88.ConclusionThe findings of the present study provided evidence for psychometric properties of a newly developed scale for PS assessment in emergency departments. Five underlying components of PS were found in the item pool. In sum, this scale may be used in research and emergency departments to measure PS.Keywords: Brief emergency department patient satisfaction scale (BEPSS)_development of a new practical instrument
Comparison of Oral Midazolam and Promethazine with Oral Midazolam alone for Sedating Children during Computed TomographyPages 109-113IntroductionBoth midazolam and promethazine are recommended to be used as sedatives in many studies but each have some side effects that limits their use. Combination therapy as an alternative method, may decreases these limitations. Therefore, this study aimed to compare midazolam with midazolam-promethazine regarding induction, maintenance, and recovery characteristics following pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia.MethodsChildren under 7 years old who needed sedation for being CT scanned were included in this double-blind randomized clinical trial. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: one only received midazolam (0.5 mg/kg), while the other group received a combination of midazolam (0.5 mg/kg) and promethazine (1.25 mg/kg). University of Michigan Sedation Scale (UMSS) was used to assess sedation induction. In addition to demographic data, the child's vital signs were evaluated before prescribing the drugs and after inducing sedation (reaching UMSS level 2). The primary outcomes in the present study were onset of action after administration and duration of the drugs' effect.Results107 patients were included in the study. Mean onset of action was 55.4±20.3 minutes for midazolam and 32.5±11.1 minutes for midazolam-promethazine combination (p<0.001). But duration of effect was not different between the 2 groups (p=0.36). 8 (7.5%) patients were unresponsive to the medication, all 8 of which were in the midazolam treated group (p=0.006). Also in 18 (16.8%) cases a rescue dose was prescribed, 14 (25.9%) were in the midazolam group and 4 (7.5%) were in the midazolam-promethazine group (p=0.02). Comparing systolic (p=0.20) and diastolic (p=0.34) blood pressure, heart rate (p=0.16), respiratory rate (p=0.17) and arterial oxygen saturation level (p=0.91) showed no significant difference between the 2 groups after intervention.ConclusionBased on the findings of this study, it seems that using a combination of midazolam and promethazine not only speeds up the sedation induction, but also decreases unresponsiveness to the treatment and the need for a rescue dose.Keywords: Promethazine, midazolam, anti, anxiety agents, conscious sedation
Diagnostic Accuracy of Chest x-Ray and Ultrasonography in Detection of Community Acquired Pneumonia; a Brief ReportPages 114-116IntroductionChest x-ray (CXR) is the simplest diagnostic tool of Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), but it has some limitation. Therefore, the aim of this study is comparing the diagnostic accuracy of CXR and chest ultrasonography (CUS) in detection of CAP.MethodsIn the present study, a consecutive sample of suspected patients with CAP was underwent CUS, CXR, and chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Diagnostic accuracy of CUS and CXR was assessed by calculating the sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios using SPSS 20 statistical software.Results30 patients with CAP were enrolled (93.3% male with mean age of 63.8 ± 18.3 years). Sensitivity of CUS and CXR in detection of CAP were 100.0% (95% Cl: 85.4-100.0) and 93.1% (95% Cl: 75.8-98.8), respectively. Specificity of CXR was 0.0 (95% Cl: 0.0-94.5), while the CUS specificity was not calculable.ConclusionFindings of the present study demonstrated on the higher diagnostic accuracy of CUS versus CXR in detection of pneumonia.Keywords: Pneumonia, ultrasonography, emergency department, radiography, thoracic, tomography, X-ray computed
Pages 117-119Foreign body aspiration is unusual in adults, except those who are debilitated or have neuropsychiatric disorders. It can be a life-threatening situation and it often requires a high index of suspicion, because the diagnosis can be obscure. Prompt diagnosis and intervention through foreign body retrieval are critical to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. We present a case of denture aspiration by a debilitated 90 years old man. He had aspirated his complete upper denture to pharynx causing incomplete obstruction with pleasure whistling respiratory sound, dyspnea, dysphagia and dysphonia. He underwent successful retrieval of the dental plate manually by fingers with complete resolution of symptoms.Keywords: Pharyngeal, aspiration, foreign body, case report
Pages 120-121Tarantulas have recently become as pets in most parts of the world that increased the probability of encountering emergency physicians with patients hurt with these spiders. Their attacks usually do not cause general manifestation, however there are some case reports in this regard. Here, a 40-year-old man was reported who was referred to the emergency department with severe periumbilical pain that radiated to both legs and diagnosed as a victim of tarantula bite. Such symptoms usually are belonging to other spiders like Black Widow spider, but it seems that tarantula can mimic them in some cases, too.Keywords: Spider bites, bites, stings, pets, spider venoms
Pages 122-124Dissection of the vertebral artery is an important but rare cause of cerebrovascular accidents. Here we report a 48-year-old man with toothache since 4 days before who presented to the emergency department with neck pain and final diagnosis of dissecting right vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm. To our knowledge, this maybe the first report of odontogenic pain as the first manifestation of vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm in the literatures.Keywords: Vertebral artery dissection, toothache, stroke
Pages 125-126An 88-year-old man presented to the emergency department with sudden onset of abdominal pain since 6 hours before. He was a known case of chronic renal failure that underwent hemodialysis three times a week. He also suffered from hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The patients' on-arrival vital signs were as follows: systolic blood pressure: 100/60 mmHg, pulse rate: 88/minute, respiratory rate: 25/minute, oral temperature: 36◦C, oxygen saturation 93% in room air. He had severely ill appearance on admission. Distended abdomen was considerable but had normal bowel sound and clearly, pain was disproportionate to physical examination. His electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm and venous blood gas analysis revealed the following: pH=6.96, PaCO2=49 mmHg, HCO3=11 mEq/L, Base excess= -20. The bedside ultrasonography showed echogenic particles in hepatic parenchyma and same findings that were passing through the portal vein. Chest and abdominal X-rays were reported as normal. The patient underwent abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan with oral contrast.

Computer Simulations Show that the Hydrogen Radical Transfer Reaction Catalyzed by Methylmalonyl-CoA Mutase and Coenzyme B12 is Dominated by Extreme Quantum Mechanical Tunneling
A subclass of the coenzyme B12-dependent isomerases catalyze chemically challenging carbon-skeleton rearrangements. For example, methylmalonyl-CoenzymeA mutase (MMCM) catalyzes the reversible isomerization of methylmalonyl to succinyl in both humans and bacteria. This reaction represents an intermediate step in the catabolism of the odd‑chain fatty acids, branched-chain amino acids and cholesterol, and its impairment results in methylmalonic aciduria.
Coenzyme B12 is an extensively modified porphyrin whose structure was determined by X-ray crystallography by Hodgkin in 1961.
The structure revealed, unexpectedly at the time, a cobalt-carbon bond to the deoxyadenosyl component of B12. Homolytic rupture of this bond is a key step in the catalyzed rearrangement, but atomistic details of the mechanism have remained elusive. Recent advances in computational enzyme kinetics have allowed for simulations that help to elucidate the mechanisms of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and Agnieszka Dybala-Defratyka and Piotr Paneth of the Technical University of Lodz in Poland, Ruma Banerjee of the University of Nebraska, and Donald G. Truhlar of the University of Minnesota have now uncovered the atomistic details of the process and have shown that the experimental results, from the laboratory of Professor Banerjee, can be explained by extreme quantum mechanical tunneling. The results are published in the June 26 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The bacterial MMCM studied in this work is a heterodimer (with units called α and β ) as shown in this figure:
The α subunit (blue) contains the active site of the enzyme in which the cobalamin moiety of conenzyme B12 is in red, the substrate methylmalonyl-CoenzymeA is in yellow, and the 5´-deoxyadenosyl group of B12 is in black; the β subunit of the dimer is in green.
The key reaction is a hydrogen radical transfer as illustrated in the following scheme:
The atoms involved in the simulation are shown in the structure below, which contains 14878 atoms. This includes 672 amino acids (in green ribbons), 1388 water molecules (in blue), and 299 atoms of the active site residues (in black).
The simulations are based on transition state theory, which identifies the dynamical bottlenecks, called transition states, that represent points of no return along the reaction path. To a very good approximation, the rate of forming the dynamical bottleneck species is equal to the overall reaction rate. Attainment of the transition state may to likened to passing over a "mountain" pass or barrier; the bottleneck corresponds to the barrier top. In order to calculate quantitative reaction rate constants, eight transition state configurations were chosen, and an ensemble of eight reaction paths passing through these transition states was calculated. The total transmission coefficient, which is the factor by which tunneling increases the rate constant, was is obtained by averaging the dynamics over these eight paths.
The primary experimental observable is the kinetic isotope effect, which is the ratio of the reaction rate for the system shown in the scheme above to the reaction rate when the CH3 group that loses a hydrogen is replaced by CD3, where H denotes protium (the lightest isotope of hydrogen) and D denotes deuterium (a heavy isotope of hydrogen). Protium atom is lighter than deuterium and has a larger quantum mechanical zero point energy and a larger probability of tunneling. Both of these differences contribute to the reaction rate being higher for H than for D. In fact the experimental kinetic isotope effect is very dramatic—it is 49. That is, the rate constant for the CH3 case is 49 times larger for hydrogen transfer than for deuterium transfer. However, the calculations show that in the absence of tunneling, the kinetic isotope effect would be only 14. When tunneling is included the calculated kinetic isotope effect is increased to 51, in excellent agreement with experiment. This provide confidence in the detailed dynamic picture of the reactive event that is afforded by the computer simulation.
Tunneling corresponds to the system passing through the "mountain" rather than over the "mountain" pass. This could not occur for macroscopic objects, but because the H and D are very light they are described by the laws of quantum mechanics rather than the laws that govern the behavior of macroscopic objects. The simulation shows that the H reaction is speeded up by a factor of 93 due to tunneling, and the D reaction is speeded up by a factor of 26. A factor of 93 means that only 1% of the reaction proceeds in the classical way, by passing over the barrier. When tunneling dominates a reaction to this extent, it is called extreme tunneling.
Because the final results of the quantum mechanical atomistic simulation agree with experiment so well, the researchers were able to analyze them to better understand the nature of the tunneling events. They found that the tunneling of H or D is strongly coupled to motion of the other atoms in the active site of the enzyme, and they were able to identify the geometrical configuration at the critical configuration of the tunneling process. It is very gratifying that 46 years after the structure of coenzyme B12 was determined, the atomistic details of this biologically important reaction that it catalyzes have now been elucidated.

Mitchell Sends Whitmer Letter on Proposed Metamora Gravel Mine
WASHINGTON – Yesterday afternoon, Congressman Paul Mitchell (MI-10) sent the letter below to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer regarding a proposed gravel mine on the D Bar A Boy Scout property in Metamora, which is adjacent to the Metamora Landfill Superfund site.
"Dear Governor Whitmer,
I write to express serious concerns about a proposed gravel mine on the D Bar A Boy Scout property in Metamora. This property is adjacent to the Metamora Landfill Superfund site ("site") and the impacts this project could have on the local community and groundwater are severe.
This issue was initially brought to my attention by my constituents and local stakeholders. At issue is the status of monitoring wells that track the extent and movement of contaminated groundwater emanating from the site, which is regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Through multiple discussions and letters expressing these concerns to the EPA, I learned that the responsible parties had not fully complied with a July 2015 order to expand the monitoring wells around the landfill. It is troubling there is not yet a complete monitoring well network in place, especially when there is a proposed development nearby that is likely to heavily use groundwater.
On July 16, 2019, after receiving my letters and listening to community concerns, the EPA directed the responsible parties to further revise the Investigation Work Plan to require a more comprehensive strategy to determine the extent of contamination from the landfill and where it is going. That work is still in progress.
The EPA continues to address the contamination emanating from the federally regulated site. As they do so, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) must ensure they strictly monitor and study any proposed projects – such as the one at the D Bar A Boy Scout property – thoroughly and impartially. The EPA notes in their letter that EGLE would be the primary agency responsible for oversight of large quantity water withdrawals related to mining projects. The EPA has pledged to communicate with EGLE directly about the site, but I also encourage your office to be receptive to our constituents' concerns about the proposed mine and its impacts.
In addition to environmental issues related to the Superfund site, I also want to note my concern and dismay about the influence state-level lobbyists have exerted over state agencies on matters related to gravel mines. As you are surely aware, proponents of opening additional gravel mines in the state through preemption of local control are using a study produced by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to advance their position. While there is a case to be made for gravel mine development at a general level, any related decisions should be made objectively, openly, and fairly, with feedback and input from all involved parties.
That does not seem to be the case with the study in question. Recent media reports revealed evidence that gravel industry lobbyists made substantial and substantive efforts to direct the MDOT staff working on that taxpayer funded study toward the preferred conclusion of mining proponents. The new MDOT Director Paul Ajegba – whom you appointed – rightfully called for an audit of the contracting practices used for that study.
As you work to meet the state's infrastructure needs, I encourage your administration to maintain the principles of local control, impartial governance, and sound science. I look forward to working with your office, EGLE, and other state and federal agencies to ensure that any developments around the Metamora Landfill Superfund site do not endanger human health or pollute our groundwater.
For ease of reference, enclosed please find my correspondence to and from the EPA. I encourage you and your Administration to review these materials and listen to all feedback on this issue. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter.
Member of Congress"

This update only contains one change but its a beauty!. Version 1.3 released in June added a lot of SAR tools in a FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared Camera) Nightlight system and movable searchlight... full v1.3 details are here : Aircraft Update : Bell AB 412 v1.3 by X-TridentAdded now in v1.4 is an excellent hoist system with all the trimmings.Added is a new menu option in "SAR Control panel" under the X-Plane Menus in plugins. First note is that the winch system is not on every aircraft livery and even then only on certain SAR versions. You can tell what the active winch is like by noticing the yellow hook hanging from the winch.If you want to add the winch to a livery or version that is not active then you can, like I did here to the Australian "Customs" version. Go to the livery that you want to use and you will see the "config.dat" file, open it with a word editor and change "winch" to "agusta_winch" save, and there you have it...The detailing of the winch is very good, everything is modeled including the attached power cabling.To operate the winch is via the SAR Control panel, first row operates the winch up and down or stop. Second and third rows operate the doors left and right, which is great because you don't have to now keep pulling down the menus or crawl back over seats just to open and close the doors internally or externally.Next two rows on the menu are for the "Operator" or winchman and your "Patient".In Operator "on" will show the Operator on the hoist and "off" will remove him. Same really with the Patient in "off" not there, "In Transit" on the lifting cage, "On Board" in the aircraft and finally "On ground"Here on the right side of the menu popup you can set the coordinates of where the patient is lying on the ground, it is quite clever in that you can place him either by inputting the direct coordinates or pressing the "Get" button which notes the current position of the aircraft.So if I "Get" and then set the "On Ground" he (or She) will appear at that set of coordinates, or in other words directly below the aircraft...In operation it all works very and is very realistic...The only really tricky part is flying and hovering with one hand and controlling the menu buttons with the other.Inside "view" gives you this great shot of the pair arriving at the door.Once the patient is on board and the winchman is safely stored, it is then a direct ride to the hospital or nearest airport. So the SAR winch is a great addition to the aircraft, and so add in some really bad weather and a few large dangerous mountains and then go for it...Yes! the Agusta Bell AB412 from X-Trident is now available from the new X-Plane.Org Store here : Agusta Bell 412 - Price is US$35.95Current version is v1.4 and if you have already purchased the X-trident Bell AB412 then go to your X-Plane.Org Store account and upgrade now!Features:Pre-release versions tested by actual customers since August 2014Highly detailed 3d model and 3d cockpit.

In 'v for vendetta' movie , about social question here..?
what is methods of dictatorships used throughout the film ?
can you give me examples(scenes) in this movie ?

The graphic novel for it says that it is fascism that has evolved from I think the conservative party, and expresses explicitly the fascist modes of the government.
The film is less obvious and explicit. It seems the government could be either fascist or communist. However, the government is usually presented in a more Nazi way, suggesting fascism rather than communism. Just look at the logo in this image:
Also, the story of V is very symbolic of the Holocaust and Nazi experimentation projects; where he talks about his past, to Evey I think, he tells of a concentration camp uncannily like Nazi facilities.
Basically there is some difficulty defining communism from fascism in some aspects, but the way it is presented in this movie, it is almost unquestionably fascistic.

No, it relatively is up there on the checklist perhaps, yet i for my area think of Zeitgeist is extra substantial. V for Vendetta does say something approximately how companies are getting into power and the opportunity of a sparkling international Order does pop into our heads.
