Atopic dermatitis among children is an important issue due to relapses and skin manifestations. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used to treat children with atopic dermatitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and TCM prescriptions of patients with atopic dermatitis using a nationwide database.

Children younger than 12 years of age diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, defined as ICD-9-CM codes 691.8 and 692.x, were identified from the database. Data on age, diagnosis codes, area of residence and use of corticosteroids of the TCM users were recorded. Association rule mining was used to analyze the prescriptions used for atopic dermatitis.

We identified 13,646 children with atopic dermatitis using TCM in 2007. Female gender (OR: 0.83 for male gender), adolescence (OR: 10.0, 95 % CI: 8.88–11.15) and allergic rhinitis (OR: 2.44, 95 % CI: 2.10–2.85) were associated with the use of TCM. Fewer of the TCM users were prescribed with corticosteroids (35.8 % of all TCM users), but the TCM users had a higher rate of long-term topical corticosteroid therapy (10.6 % for TCM users versus 2.0 % for those who did not use TCM). Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) was used by 93.7 % of all TCM users in 36,398 prescriptions. On average, 5.6 kinds of CHM were used in combination. The relationship between the CHMs constituted a network, in which Xiao-Feng-San was the core treatment for atopic dermatitis.

In this study, we described the characteristics of children with atopic dermatitis who use TCM in Taiwan. and identified the core CHM treatment. Further research on the safety and efficacy of this treatment are still needed.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which is highly prevalent among children [1, 2]. The clinical features of atopic dermatitis vary with age and the stage of disease, such as oozing, erosions and eroded vesicles in the acute stage, and hyper-pigmented lichenification of the skin in the chronic stage. Severe skin itching is a major complaint, especially at night, during the entire course of atopic dermatitis, as well as insomnia and chronic fatigue, all of which substantially affect the children’s quality of life [1, 3]. The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis is complicated and not fully understood. Genetic factors, skin barrier disorders, immune dysregulation, mast cell activation and skin infections have all been reported to be highly associated with atopic dermatitis [47]. Multiple management strategies have been proposed to control symptoms, such as emollients containing urea, anti-histamines, corticosteroids, anti-microbial agents and even immunotherapy [1, 8]. Of these strategies, corticosteroids remain the most important, and are used in both topical and systemic form, however the use of corticosteroids is often limited due to concerns over adverse effects [911].

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used to control the symptoms of atopic dermatitis among children in Taiwan, and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is one of the most commonly used modalities of TCM treatment [1214]. Although many studies have reported on the use and effectiveness of CHM, a detailed analysis of the prescription patterns of CHM for the treatment of atopic dermatitis is lacking. Therefore, the characteristics of the children who use TCM and which CHMs are given to these children in daily clinical practice are unknown.

This study aimed to identify the use pattern of TCM for pediatric atopic dermatitis and the most commonly used CHMs. In addition to the characteristics of the TCM user, we aimed to identify the most important CHMs and CHM combinations, and thereby a network of these CHMs. Such information would be a good reference for clinicians and also provide good candidates for further studies, since TCM doctors usually prescribe several CHMs in combination to treat a disease.

Data source

The data used in this study were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan. This database is particularly useful for epidemiological studies due to the high coverage rate of the National Health Insurance (NHI) program in Taiwan (>98.3 % of the total population) and full reimbursement for TCM including CHM, acupuncture and manipulation therapy [14]. The NHIRD contains detailed information on the patients’ demographic features, diagnosis and treatment. International Classification of Diseases, ninth edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes are used to verify the diagnosis of each visit, and up to three ICD-9-CM codes can be used for each visit. The first ICD-9-CM code is the primary reason for the visit, and the reliability of ICD-9-CM coding has been well validated [15, 16]. The NHIRD has been used as the data source for many studies on TCM epidemiology and prescription analysis [14, 17].

TCM prescriptions

The details of TCM prescriptions are recorded in the NHIRD, which is made available for research purposes. In addition to acupuncture and manipulation therapy, every component of CHM is recorded in this database. In Taiwan, two kinds of CHM are reimbursed, herbal formulas (HFs) and single herbs (SHs). Each HF contains SHs with fixed proportions strictly based on the TCM classics, and each HF can be combined with other HF or SH. All CHMs in Taiwan are manufactured at pharmaceutical factories governed by the Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines, and all pesticides and heavy metals are strictly prohibited.

Study design and subjects

The flow diagram of study enrollment is demonstrated in Fig. 1. Patients with a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (ICD-9-CM codes: 691.8 and 692.x) who were aged 0–12 years were enrolled in this study. TCM users were defined as those who used at least one form of TCM from 2007/1/1 to 2007/12/31, and TCM nonusers were defined as those who never used TCM. A TCM users are retrieved from the entire database, and TCM nonusers are collected by systemically sampling from the entire database, which represents the general population since there was no difference in gender or age between sampled and whole database [18]. Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis was mainly based on clinical manifestations such as itching, scratching, oozing, erythema and lichenification over skin lesions. The age of the enrolled subjects was limited to 12 years in this study since atopic dermatitis is highly prevalent before adolescence [19]. The subjects with missing data were excluded from the final analysis.

Study variables

To investigate differences between those who did and did not use TCM, we used gender, age, type and number of combined allergic diseases, area of residence, level of urbanization and use of corticosteroids as covariates with odds ratios. Co-morbidities were identified on the basis of ICD-9-CM codes: 477.0, 477.1, 477.2, 477.8 and 477.9 for allergic rhinitis, 493.x for asthma and 491.x for chronic bronchitis. Because the features of atopic dermatitis are closely related to where the patients live and the urbanization level, both geographical location and urbanization level were used as covariates [20]. In Taiwan, urbanization level can be divided into seven levels, in which level 1 is the most urbanized and level 7 is the least. In this study, level 4 to level 7 were combined as level 4, as the number of children living in these areas was relatively small [14]. We also assessed differences in the use of corticosteroids between those who did and did not use TCM, since corticosteroids are the mainstay of therapy for atopic dermatitis, and the use of corticosteroids has been reported to be an influential factor for the use of alternative therapy [21]. To identify the utilization pattern of corticosteroids for each patient, the use rate, duration and frequency of prescriptions of corticosteroids in the previous 1 year were analyzed. The average daily dose and prevalence of CHM are used to describe the use of commonly used CHMs.

Bias assessment

As we used a nationwide design in this study, the selection and referral bias were largely minimized, since the NHI covers almost all everyone in Taiwan. In addition, these data were more complete than hospital-based data. Furthermore, registration bias was largely eliminated by using ICD-9-CM codes to identify diseases, of which the reliability has been proven.

Statistical analysis

We used descriptive statistics to describe the features of the TCM users. Independent t-tests and chi-square tests were used to examine differences in continuous and categorical variables between those who did and did not use TCM, respectively. We used logistic regression analysis to differentiate the characteristics between those who did and did not use TCM, and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) to adjust covariates. In addition, to analyze the TCM prescriptions, we used association rule mining (ARM). ARM is a well-developed data mining technique to explore the relationships between two items in a large dataset, and it has been successfully used for CHM prescription analysis [17]. The ARM algorithm has previously been described in detail [22]. We used the open-source software “R” with the “arule” package to analyze TCM prescriptions, and the commercial SAS software package to analyze the characteristics of TCM users. All results with a two-tailed p-value of less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.

Characteristics of the TCM users

Between 2007/1/1 and 2007/12/31, 13,646 children attended a TCM clinic for atopic dermatitis. We also enrolled 28,457 patients who did not use TCM from database as the control group. The demographic characteristics of the TCM users are demonstrated in Table 1. There were slightly more female TCM users, and slightly more male TCM nonusers (OR: 0.83 for males, 95 % CI: 0.79–0.86, p < 0.001). In addition, the use of TCM was more common in the older children than in the younger children (OR: 10.0 among the school ages children, 95 % CI: 8.88–11.15, p < 0.001), and most of the TCM users were school-aged children (69 % of all TCM users). This trend was more prominent in the TCM users than in the nonusers. Furthermore, the children with more co-existing allergic diseases tended to use TCM more (1.34 times more than the TCM nonusers). The use of TCM was 2.44 times more common among the children with atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis (95 % CI: 2.10–2.85). In contrast, the children with both atopic dermatitis and respiratory problems were unlikely to use TCM. In addition, the children living in more urbanized areas used TCM more frequently.

Use of corticosteroids among the TCM users

Only 35.8 % of the TCM users had used corticosteroids before using TCM, compared to more than two-thirds of the TCM nonusers (Table 2). The use of topical corticosteroids was most common, and most of the children received treatment for less than 14 days. Nevertheless, more TCM users received long-term (more than 14 days) topical corticosteroid therapy. In addition, even though about 10 % of the children received systemic corticosteroids for atopic dermatitis in both groups, long-term systemic corticosteroid use was still higher among the TCM users (Table 2).

CHMs commonly used to treat the children with atopic dermatitis

CHM was the most commonly used form of TCM for the children with atopic dermatitis. Overall, 12,790 children (93.7 %) used CHM with a total of 36,398 prescriptions in 2007. More than 600 kinds of CHM were used during this period, and an average of 5.6 kinds of CHM were used in combination in one prescription. Xiao-Feng-San (XFS) was the most commonly used HF (31.6 % of all prescriptions), followed by Jing-Fang-Bai-Du-San (10.6 %) and Xin-Yi-Qing-Fei-Tang (8.9 %) (Table 3). Glycyrrhiza uralensis was the most commonly used SH (16.7 %), followed by Dictamnus dasycarpus (13.4 %) and Cryptotympana pustulata (13.3 %) (Table 4). The most commonly used CHM combination was XFS with Dictamnus dasycarpus (6.7 %), and the relationships between the commonly used CHMs constituted a CHM network (Fig. 2). This network clearly demonstrated that XFS was the core CHM for treating atopic dermatitis among children for two reasons: XFS was the most commonly used single CHM, and, more importantly, in order to achieve the efficacy, XFS was needed for other CHMs in combinations.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large-scale study to report differences in the characteristics of children with atopic dermatitis who did and did not use TCM. TCM was more commonly used for older and female children, especially those with allergic rhinitis and multiple allergic diseases compared to the children who never used TCM. Although the age at onset of atopic dermatitis is usually around 5 years, the higher use of TCM among older children may reflect poor control of atopic dermatitis, in that the parents of the children are more willing to try TCM when they are older. Dissatisfaction with current western medical treatment may be the reason for the use of TCM in the older children, and this trend is similar to that reported in the general population [14, 21].

The children with more allergic diseases tended to use TCM therapy, especially when they had both atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis. This may also explain why the children living in more urbanized areas tended to use TCM, as allergic diseases tend to be more prevalent in these area [23]. The use of western medical treatment significantly increased when the children had more co-morbid allergic diseases, such as increasing doses of anti-histamines or the combined use of different kinds of anti-histamines and even corticosteroids. The potentially higher risk of adverse events with higher doses of western medicine may cause parents to consider TCM. In contrast, it has been reported that the use of herbal medicine can improve sneezing and skin itching with just one prescription with minimal side effects [24]. Unlike disease-specific treatments from a western medicine viewpoint, TCM doctors usually take the whole human body into consideration when making prescriptions, and try to control symptoms by using a single prescription [25].

Moreover, the use of corticosteroids was quite different between the TCM users and nonusers. Overall, the use of corticosteroids was lower among the TCM users before they received TCM treatment, however the long-term use was relatively higher than in the TCM nonusers. The adverse effects of corticosteroids often concern parents, such as skin atrophy and telangiectasia with the long-term use of topical corticosteroids, and endocrine disorders with the use of systemic corticosteroids [911]. Thus, concerns over the use of corticosteroids is one of the most important factors for choosing TCM to control symptoms [21]. The influence of this factor may be strengthened by dissatisfaction with regards to standard western medical therapy. Children who visit TCM doctors tend to have more severe symptoms, even if they are receiving western medical treatment, and therefore seek add-on TCM therapy to improve symptom control [26].

CHM is the most commonly used TCM to treat atopic dermatitis, and more than 90 % of all TCM users had used CHM in this study. This trend is similar to urticaria, which is also an allergic skin disease with frequent relapses [17]. In contrast to topical agents as the mainstay therapy in western medical treatment, all CHMs are taken orally. From a TCM point of view, the main goals of treatment are to modify the patient’s constitution and correct immunity disorders, not only to control local disease [27]. Therefore, it is believed that the treatment effect can be enhanced by using topical and oral agents concurrently to relieve skin discomfort from inside to outside of the body. Under this treatment model, patients’ symptoms can be well-controlled and the use of corticosteroids can be reduced, as observed in small-scale clinical trials [13, 24, 28].

XFS is the core CHM treatment for pediatric atopic dermatitis due to its high prevalence and multiple relationships with other CHM. XFS is a well-known CHM used for chronic erythematous and itching skin lesions [17]. The effectiveness of XFS was shown in one clinical trial, and several potential pharmacological mechanisms have been reported, including inhibition of IgE secretion, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and immuno-modulation for a Th1/Th2 imbalance [2831]. XFS provides comprehensive coverage of the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, and therefore it has become the core treatment for atopic dermatitis. The role of XFS can be clearly seen in the CHM network (Fig. 2). Several other CHMs are commonly combined with XFS to enhance the effectiveness of XFS, including Dictamnus dasycarpus and Kochia scoparia which may enhance the anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects of XFS, and Cryptotympana pustulata which may enhance the anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory effects of XFS [3235]. The combination of CHMs is not only used to enhance the existing effects of XFS, but also to complement XFS. The use of Lonicera japonica and Forsythia suspense may add anti-microbial effects to XFS, which are thought to be beneficial to control atopic dermatitis [3638]. Investigations on CHMs and their combinations provide important information about candidates for further studies, since the CHM prescriptions used to treat atopic dermatitis may be very different between use in daily practice and those detailed in TCM textbooks [39].

There are both strengths and limitations to this study. By using a nationwide database, potential referral bias and patient selection bias can be minimized, since all medical records for children with atopic dermatitis can be obtained. In addition, due to high coverage of this database, the results of this study can be regarded as a kind of consensus of TCM doctors and thus be a references to both TCM doctors and researchers. Nevertheless, the use of folk medicine was not included in this study, and therefore the prevalence of TCM use may be underestimated. Folk medicine in Taiwan is not reimbursed by the NHI and is not strictly regulated. This study focused on the use of CHM only, and thus the results are reliable and repeatable since all information on such CHM is made public in Taiwan. Another limitation of this study is the lack of information on CHM for different subtypes, or “zheng” in Chinese, of atopic dermatitis, since the subtypes of each patient were not available in the NHIRD.

The children with atopic dermatitis and more co-morbidities (especially allergic rhinitis) and those living in more urbanized areas were associated with a higher use of TCM. CHM was the most common type of TCM used for children with atopic dermatitis, and XFS was the core treatment. Further studies on the efficacy and safety of such treatment are warranted.

Love Letter: The Hobbit (Clamshell)

Love Letter: The Hobbit (Clamshell)

Alderac Entertainment Group

  • 40000 ฿

Love Letter: The Hobbit – The Battle of the Five Armies is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2–4 players based on the original Love Letter game by Seiji Kanai. The deck consists of 17 cards, with the Arkenstone being valued #8, Bilbo Baggins #7, and so on down to The One Ring at #0.

In each round, each player starts with only one card in hand; one card is removed from play. On a turn, you draw one card, and play one card, using the power on that card to expose others and (possibly) knock them out of the round. If you're the final player active in the round or the player with the highest card when the deck runs out, then you score a point. In LL: The Hobbit, The One Ring does nothing during play, but it counts as a #7 when the game ends, possibly leading to a tie should someone else hold Bilbo.

In addition to the one extra card, LL: The Hobbit differs from the original game in that the Baron (#3) is represented by two separate cards: Tauriel and Legolas. When you use an elf's power to compare cards, Tauriel knocks out the player with the higher valued card while Legolas targets the lower valued card. (This change isn't in the German edition, where Legolas and Tauriel have the same text.)

Whoever first wins 4-7 rounds, with the number dependent on the number of players, wins the game!

  1. many cruises

    UNIWORLD...nonexistent customer service!

    Many of our issues with this trip were not caused by low water levels, and some were. The major issue is that Uniworld has been unresponsive to letters and phone calls. There is no reason for this unresponsiveness from this company. Obviously, their guest relations department has been swamped, but you would expect common courtesy from a company that ranks where they do.
  2. many cruises

    UNIWORLD...nonexistent customer service!

    For those of you who don't believe passenger's negative Uniworld reviews, you may want to read many of them on Uniworld's Facebook Public Post area. Make sure you have plenty of time and then decide if they are truthful!
  3. many cruises

    UNIWORLD...nonexistent customer service!

    Uniworld is being swamped with complaint calls. All of your positive attitudes are great until something happens to you. When I spend over $13,000.00 for a luxury cruise, I expect that type of vacation. Unfortunately, what we experienced was far below that standard, and we did not get the vacation we paid for in any way, shape, or form.
  4. many cruises

    UNIWORLD...nonexistent customer service!

    If Uniworld is going to remain a competitor of Tauck, they should respond to their letters and phone calls sent to guest relations. Apparently, the manager of guest relations never listens or responds to her emails and phone messages. If problems like these occurred with Tauck, customers would be treated as if they mattered and not ignored. If Uniworld can't provide the product they advertise, they should cancel that particular river cruise instead of throwing away their customers very costly vacation.
  5. many cruises

    UNIWORLD...nonexistent customer service!

    I don't understand how Uniworld is so highly rated. Our experience was not a luxury one, not even a middle of the road one. I will keep calling the Guest Relations Manager until someone responds... hopefully the Guest Relations Manager!
  6. many cruises

    UNIWORLD...nonexistent customer service!

    They did have gentle walkers tours 2 weeks ago, unfortunately the guide kept having personal conversations with one of the walkers and she let him take over the tour. We ended up leaving that group and joined another. The walking tours were mediocre at best.
  7. many cruises

    UNIWORLD...nonexistent customer service!

    I still can't believe I haven't received a call back. Uniworld was supposed to have a 6 star rating...in my book it doesn't come close. The food was subpar and the noise in the dining room was terribly loud. Where are you Guest Relations???
  8. After sending a five page letter to Uniworld's Guest Relations describing the many issues we had on board the S.S. Maria Theresa, we finally received a letter back of apology which conveniently ignored most of the issues described in my letter to Uniworld. After receiving Uniworld's ridiculous response, we called Uniworld's Manager of Guest Relations and left numerous messages requesting our call be returned. Another call was placed to Uniworld's main number and the representative said she would email the Manager of Guest Relations to call me back. I am still waiting to hear from the Manager of Guest Relations!
  9. The cruise part of this trip was supposed to be 7 nights. The bus ride from Passau to Prague should have taken 3 1/2 hours. I even contacted a supervisor at Uniworld (prior to the cruise) to get a confirmation on the length of this drive because we were planning a private tour upon our arrival in Prague. I was assured that we would arrive in 3 1/2 hours, giving us plenty of time before we were to start our private tour. Four buses left for Prague and we know the other buses arrived there in 3 1/2 hours as scheduled. Our bus didn't because they stopped to get something similar to an "easy pass" to use the road. That process took about 45 minutes because it seemed the driver and the guide were having difficulty providing the documents to obtain the "easy pass." They kept going inside the building and coming back to the bus to look for other paperwork. We also got lost and both the driver and the guide were using their GPS for directions. It seemed as if they were "newcomers" to driving this route. We also found out that the other buses did not stop to get an "easy pass" which we thought was very odd! In addition, we stopped 3 times for restroom breaks. The first time was unscheduled and was in conjunction with the stop for the "easy pass." The second time we stopped at a gas station for a restroom break the manager refused to let us use the facility. The third time we stopped we were able to use the restroom available even though it was disgusting and filthy. So, our ride lasted 5 hours because our bus stopped for 45 minutes to obtain something similar to an "easy pass", our bus stopped 3 times to use the restrooms, and we also got lost. The irony of this whole event was that we were assigned to ride on the first bus which was leaving at 8:15 am before all the other buses!
  10. Our 1st. river cruise is over and unfortunately we only spent 6 nights on board the boat. The rest of the time we were in hotels...some were OK, one was horrible. Many days we were on buses for long times. When the S.S. Maria Theresa had to dock in Vienna rather than Budapest, Uniworld had passengers riding buses back to Bratislava to avoid skipping that port. In addition, at the end of the river cruise segment of this trip, Uniworld bused passengers from Passau to Prague. What was supposed to be a 3.5 hour bus ride turned out to be a 5 hour bus ride for us and greatly negatively impacted our first day in Prague. There were some plusses and many minuses on this trip. We will be posting a detailed in a few days.
  11. We are in Passau today and did the walking tour through Old Town. We wanted to go to Artist's Alley, but almost all the shops were closed. Tomorrow, we get bussed to Prague after the post-cruise extension. We are happy that we booked 3 private excursions in Prague...so much better than those through the cruise line. I will be writing a review when I return home...including the good and the bad.
  12. We are in Linz today. We had planned to go on the Salzburg excursion, but late last night we bowed out. We couldn't sit on another bus for 3 hours. We decided to have lunch in Linz and do some shopping. Our dinners have improved on board, but the dining room is so noisy that we leave with headaches every night. We discovered that there's one table by the door where the noise level is slightly lower. Yesterday, we went to Durnstein and Melk. In Durnstein, we went on the walking tour and did some wandering on our own. In Melk we went to the Abbey, but had to wait about 30 minutes for the guide before we started the tour. The tour was so-so. We never saw Melk because time was scarce. There was quite a lot of walking involved just to start these tours. We didnotice that other riverboatr lines had small trainlike vehicles to get passengers to the starting points of each tour. Unfortunately, Uniworld did not. The only scenery we have seen from the boat was the Wachau Valley...it was very pretty. Will try to keep posting.
  13. Yes, some people are touring in Vienna today, rather than Bratislava. Embarkation was chaotic and we didn't arrive at the boat until 5:30 pm. It was not a luxury experience! Today, we are hoping for some normalcy in Bratislava. The boat is gorgeous and our cabin is too, but unfortunately, we have lost 2 days of this trip. Many people are not happy and will be writing to Uniworld when they get home.
  14. We are on the long bus ride from Budapest to Vienna. We are not expected to arrive until late this afternoon. We all had to switch to other Budapest hotels last night . Ours was not by any means a luxury hotel...very small room with charcoal grey walls. It has been difficult and we're trying not think of what this so called luxury trip has cost us. Tonight is our Welcome Dinner on the Maria Theresa...at this point, we are exhausted and we have lost 2 days on the boat. We will be bussed to Bratislava tomorrow from Vienna.
  15. We are boarding late tomorrow in Vienna after our Budapest City Tour and lunch in Budapest. The cruise director has been available all day at our hotel. We are being well informed of everything and hoping things settle down once we board.

Things are Picking Up in the Boating Business!

With all the horrible and negative news we run across every day, and have been for a while, there’s a glimmer of things picking up in the world of boating. It’s been a long time coming, but there is evidence that things are getting better.

Everybody knows of the disasters the marine industry has seen, there are headlines galore over the past couple of years chronicling it – just ask and I’ll send a bunch!  And how much fun has it been to fill up the gas tank on your boat recently? Folks are worried about their jobs, their spouse’s job, their boss’s job, where’s the money going to come from? As one of the ultimate leisure activities, boating is one of the first things to go when times get (or threaten to get) tough.

So I notice last week that the assets of the Hunter Marine Group – many venerable names in the marine business such as Hunter sailboats, Luhrs, Silverton, and Mainship powerboats – were successfully sold out of of their bankruptcy proceedings. That the creditors didn’t object to the asset sales tells me that the price was considered fair. Now that I think about it (in order to write this!), the buyers of those assets have invested quite a bit into these assets, and have committed to continuing the manufacture and sale of these branded boats.

I get e-newsletters every day that used to be called “trade rags” back when they were on paper. But the series of industry stories in them has been getting brighter nearly every day. Just today, it was noted that Maverick Boats, makers of Maverick, Hewes, Pathfinder and Cobia boats, has increased production yet again, effectively doubling where they were a year ago. Not only is this good news for the Maverick people, they’ve also hired a bunch more folks to make all these boats, a story we don’t hear too often these days.

To get a little deeper into it, we visit Wall Street analysts who keep their eyes on public companies to see if their stock or bonds are worth investing in. Brunswick Corporation, the worlds largest manufacturer of boats and motors, recently had very favorable investment opinions reiterated by some major investment companies, citing their increased market share (as smaller manufacturers either close or Brunswick buys them!) and a stronger-than-expected boating business. To me, this reflects very well on the overall market.

All of which is to say, it’s an exciting time to be anywhere near boating! There are new products coming out all the time, and it seems the wallets of those looking to get into the lifestyle are cracking open a bit. It’s still mighty competitive out there, and buyers have many new tools to use to help them get the most out of their dollars (such as!), so it’s possible there’s more shakeout to come, but we’re mighty excited to be part of the big comeback!  We hope you’re a part of it too!

Responsive Design with the Lightning Design System

Responsive Design with the Lightning Design System

Screen Shot 2015 10 10 at 17 44 36

The Lightning Design System was launched by Salesforce in August 2015 and, as I previously blogged, is the first time that Salesforce have made styles available to the developer community that allow us to build pages that match the standard look and feel perfectly (the standard look and feel for the Lightning Experience that is, Salesforce classic would still require style scraping).

The Lightning Design System offers more than just styling - it also provides a Responsive Grid to allow building of user interfaces that react to the device being used, to provide an appropriate experience tailored to the amount of screen real estate available.

Responsive Design

Wikipedia has a great definition of Responsive Design:

"Provide an optimal viewing experience – easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning and scrolling – across a wide range of devices”.

From a technical perspective its a mechanism for building web pages so that they respond to the device that is displaying them. The page changes its content and layout based on the viewport size and orientation of the device. Ethan Marcotte first coined the phrase in his article on A List Apart, which is well worth a read.

An important point about responsive design is that its not about removing content for smaller devices - more and more of the web is accessed via mobile devices these days and you don’t want to punish people for accessing your content via a phone by only serving them part of what you have to offer.

Responsive Grid

A responsive grid breaks your page up into a collection of rows, each of which decomposes into a common number of columns. On a large device the row will contain all columns, while on an extra-small device such as a phone, the grid can reflow to display one column per row, stacking the columns vertically instead of laying them out horizontally.

This is achieved via CSS media queries - a media query is essentially CSS that limits its scope based on attributes of the device. For example, consider the following media query:

.sidebar {
    display: none;

@media (min-width: 1024px)  {
    .sidebar {
         display: block;

 the initial CSS rule mandates that anything with a class of sidebar will be hidden by setting the display attribute to none. The next rule is constrained by a media query and only applies if the minimum width of the device is 1024 pixels. This rule overrides the sidebar style to make it visible by setting the display attribute to block. Thus any user accessing the page on a small device will not see content with the sidebar class, while those accessing from a large device will.

Note that in keeping with the principle that responsive design is not about removing content, if i were using this media query on a real page I would still allow users accessing from a mobile device to see the content, just not as part of a sidebar.

Responsive Images

Displaying the right images for a device form factor is an important part of responsive design, and I’ve written about this before in the following blog post

Lightning Design System

The Lightning Design System responsive grid is created by specifying a component with the style class slds-grid - I pretty much always use a div as that way I don’t get any additional behaviour outside of the container. Note that you also want to specify the style class slds-wrap, otherwise your grid will continue to layout columns horizontally and, if you are anything like me, you’ll waste a couple of hours digging through the HTML and CSS trying to figure out what is going on.

Inside the grid, elements with the style class slds-col define the column data. Additional style classes can be applied to dictate how the columns will flow based on the device size. For example, given the following layout for extra small and large devices:

Screen Shot 2015 09 28 at 09 16 59

In this scenario, on a small device I want each component to span the full width of the device, while on a large device I want the search/about component to appear in a smaller sidebar on the right hand side.

Using the responsive grid, I can keep the same content, but define different column spans based on the device itself.

As the grid styles are mobile first, whatever I specify as the default (slds-size—1-of-1) will apply from extra small upwards. My override for medium (slds-slds-medium-size—3-of-4) will apply to that device size and upwards, so covering medium and large devices.

Blog Posts App

The sample blog post application conforms to the layout shown above - the main content of the page is a list of blog posts and for medium and large devices, their associated comments. There are additional elements to allow searching for posts containing matching text and about me content. On medium and large devices the additional elements are displayed to the right of the posts, while for extra small and small devices they are stacked under the main content. The Picturefill plugin displays different images for large, medium and small or less devices.

Here’s a screen shot for a large device:

Screen Shot 2015 10 04 at 13 36 54

a medium device (the only difference is the image):

Screen Shot 2015 10 04 at 13 37 19

and finally a small device - the difference here is the image, hidden comments and the right hand content stacked under the blog post body:

Screen Shot 2015 10 04 at 13 37 41

In order to view the sample you’ll need to deploy the code or install the managed package, as I haven’t yet found a way to make lightning components available via a site. I have hopes that the new lightning components in Visualforce functionality in the Winter 16 release will be the solution to this, but I haven’t had time to play with this in a site context.

This sample was originally written for a Dreamforce talk using Visualforce and Twitter Bootstrap - you can find out more about this in my developerforce blog post.

One thing that I’ve been struggling with and been unable to find a solution to, is conditionally hiding some content for multiple device sizes. When my blog posts are displayed on extra small or small devices, I want to hide the comments and provide a button to allow the user to display them. In something like Bootstrap I’d specify the button container with the classes hidden-md and hidden-lg. LDS doesn’t have an equivalent of this, so I’ve ended up using a span with a single LDS class - slds-x-small-show (which due to mobile-first means hidden for everything) and then adding another container inside this to hide the content for medium devices:

        ... button markup here ...

The medium-hide style is as follows:

/* hide medium and above */
@media all and (min-width: 768px) {
	.THIS .medium-hide {

Responsive images also proved a challenge. I use the Picturefill polypill as the HTML5 picture element support is still lacking on some browsers. The latest version of this makes use of the Picture element but the developer console won’t let me save the a component with that markup. For now I’m sticking with version 1 of Picturefill which uses spans. I might take another look at this in the future, as I should be able to add the picture element via JavaScript as part of the initialisation.

When I started writing the code for this blog post, the version of the Lightning Design System was 0.9.1. As I already had a sample using 0.8 I left that alone so there are two static resources in the repository/unmanaged package. LDS is now on 0.9.2 and may well be higher by the time I finish writing the post!

My Domain Required in Winter 16

Don’t forget that the Winter 16 release requires my domain to be set up in order to use Lightning Components.

Code Repository

The code for this sample is available in my Lighting Design System Samples github repository at :

There’s also an unmanaged package that you can install to get all of the samples, through be aware that if you do this then the next time I produce a sample you’ll have to uninstall the managed package which will lose any blog data you’ve created.

  1. Hi Keir,

    I just spend the last 3h using BBLDS to track down a rerender issue when referencing my JHsvg component. My component was exactly the same as yours including version, component, render, and svg. Yours worked and mine did not. I tried to trace into the LD re-render javascript to understand the problem with no luck. I recreated my component using Developer Console and it worked. I recreated it again (as I did the first time) with MavensMate and it failed again, e.g. reproduced. The error says 'markup://aura.html (value || ""). replace is not a function. I don't have the time to investigate the root cause but I thought to stop and share the finding in case anyone else might benefit.

    I don't think I would have found it unless I had a working svg component to compare and contrast with. Thank You!

  2. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

  3. Informative post,this article is more useful for web designers,i tried with the coding its working good.thanks.

  4. this means we will always have to override the global navigation in order to have it responsive as well?

so we can get all of the goodies out of that when it’s time so while it’s doing that we’re going to take two lemons okay so we’re going to use two lemons and we’re going to cut the lemons into slices now this is already washed just always make sure you wash your fruits before you use them okay now I have my container here so we’re going to put that inside the container and we’re going to do the same for the other one okay and cut that also up into slices it’s a simple recipe alright so we got our lemons inside our container we have our ginger seeping for this recipe alright YouTube please forgive me I have to use my cell phone to finish this video because my batteries are low but I’m going to get it in anyways okay so basically what I started doing I’m making a ginger and lemon detox tea and this is really good for flushing your you know getting those extra toxins out getting rid of the fat um just a nicer and healthier way for you to be able to get also that water intake tin but there’s so many wonderful benefits of the lemon and ginger combination so I started off the video already where I use my nutribullet to shred the ginger okay I used like a ginger piece about say three inches to the two and a half to three inches I slice the lemons I used to hold nice medium sized lemons so what I did was slice those up and I put them in my pitcher okay and what I did with the ginger was I used my nutribullet to to shred it and then I used hot boiling water and right now is seeping so what I’m going to do now is I’m going to strain the ginger okay so I got my strainer and I’m going to put it over the picture of the picture because then what I’m going to do is take now I’m going to try to do this carefully I’m going to pour it inside the picture and I’m going to try to do this as carefully as possible because I don’t want this strainer to move and fall on the floor now I have this seeping on the side for about a good 20 minutes because I wanted to get all of that delicious flavor from it and what you could do is you could either crush it use a spoon I don’t try to squeeze all of the juices that’s still in the strainer alright so we have our solution with the ginger and the lemon water mixed together now what I’m going to do is fill up the rest of the pitcher with Poland spring distilled water whatever you have it’s fine and show you exactly what it looks like after that okay so I filled up the rest of the picture with some Poland Spring Water and what I’m gonna do now is I’m going to do a little bonus and add some cinnamon into this water now that’s just something extra that you can do but the benefits of cinnamon is awesome and I’m going to explain afterwards why I’m putting the cinnamon in even though you can just leave you can just stop now at how it is just let it seep for 24 hours with the ginger and the lemons and I want the the the juices and all the nutrients from the lemons to seep in the water so that’s why I’m leaving it for at least 24 hours so that it I can get all the goodies out of it now I mentioned that I wanted to put cinnamon in this and I’m doing this because cinnamon has a lot of great health benefits as well as a detoxing for your body so I’m going to put in this type of picture now this is maybe like um I don’t even know how many ounces this picture is but I’m going to put like a tablespoon of cinnamon into my solution okay one second okay so here’s a tablespoon of cinnamon I’m just going to add it into my lemon ginger water and just mix it okay now it’s going to look kind of cookie because the cinnamon is kind of like separating from it I probably would recommend you do this in the boiling water so this way it has a better chance of actually blending in properly where you won’t see so much of the cinnamon floating around in the water but you’re just going to mix this in really good and the cinnamon is going to give it a nice flavor now some people may want to put honey in this but to me I look at it like this less is better sometimes the less you put in the less uh you know calories you may have to think about I really don’t know except how much calories you can actually get from adding honey but I choose not to and then you just cover this up and then you just leave it in your refrigerator for 24 hours so that is it that’s the detox tea and you can drink this in the morning you know you can drink this with your meal you know this is a really nice refreshing way of adding water in your body as well as flushing out all of the other toxins and things that you know you’re just trying to eliminate out of your body so yes I’m also going to list the benefits and why it’s good to add these ingredients and what they do for your body as far as cleansing it and um for those that may feel that the Bragg’s might be a little harsh in the morning time this could be a great substitute for drinking that first morning drink alright so there we have it ladies and gentlemen um your detox tea that um it’s very beneficial for you so thanks so much for watching this video and don’t forget to subscribe at the bottom share this video with a friend give me my two thumbs up and leave a comment for your sis and I’ll see you on the next video thank you so much for joining me [Music]

No. Something weird has happened to the flickr formatting -- ie I haven't changed it but it's stopped posting a thumbnail fronting a bigger photo, and instead giving 2 photos the same size.

The cameraphone is quite good, but not good enough to take photos of neon in the dark without blur.

Reading The Handmaid’s Tale: A Teacher’s Perspective on Bringing a New Text to Seniors

Claire Cywes, Copy Editor

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

“It said something about the signs in the market having pictures instead of words because women weren’t allowed to read.  I had to investigate that.  I thought it was going to be a book about oppression of women,” said Mrs. Robinson, a grade 12 English teacher.

She was exactly right.  The Handmaid’s Tale, written by Margaret Atwood in 1985, deals largely with the issue of sexual inequality, specifically the oppression of women.

Set in a futuristic totalitarian “republic” called the Republic of Gilead, Atwood’s book addresses sexism by creating an American dystopia that is the opposite of relationship and sexual equality.

Atwood created a piece of fiction in which women were so oppressed, they were not even allowed to read the signs on store windows.  Atwood wrote her book this way to call to attention the drastic difference in freedom that she felt in our society in 1985.

Despite the beliefs of most Americans, the popularity of the Hulu series based on the novel suggests it is possible for our society to develop into the Republic of Gilead. Robinson said, “I think the loss of freedom is insidious.  One day, you are free; the next you are willing to live with a little discomfort; and the next thing you know, you are Offred.” The main character Offred’s name is actually the name of her Commander, Fred, with the conjunction “of” added in front to indicate that she belongs to Fred.

This loss of identity seems drastic, but it happens to Offred. She starts a free women, taking classes and living a normal life. Then the new government freezes all assets belonging to females. Then come more rules: women can’t drive; they can’t go out alone; they can’t talk to or touch any men unless he was their Commander.

Before Offred knew it, she was living in the Republic of Gilead, being vigorously trained to become a coveted handmaid. “I love the way the author crafted the society,” stated Robinson.  Atwood managed to create a society in which women are both oppressed and put on a pedestal.  They are used as sex slaves, but at the same time, are praised and coddled when pregnant because of the lack of healthy pregnancies in the society.

For many reasons such as the themes of “gender roles, the importance of memory, rebellion, and acceptance”, Robinson decided to teach The Handmaid’s Tale during the second semester of the school year, when students will read modern literature. However, another motive exists behind the general themes of the novel.  Robinson wants to make students “think about how easily our freedom can be taken away.”  She believes that the subjects discussed are “relevant in our times”.

While many people are now more interested in the TV show based on the book, Robinson wishes to keep the discussions in her class focused solely on the book because she doesn’t want “someone else’s interpretation in my head.”  She does, however wish to see the TV show eventually.

The Handmaid’s Tale ends in what can be considered a cliffhanger.  While most would be dissatisfied with this kind of ending and no sequel, Robinson said, “Here’s the problem with sequels-they never live up to the original.”  In every totalitarian society, parts of the Republic of Gilead can be discovered.

This is what makes Atwood’s book so appealing to people of all ages and all times.  The Handmaid’s Tale gives the reader an opportunity to experience the severe oppression without making it their life.  Thus, when people return to reality, they can put into perspective their level of freedom and possibly make a change to avoid an Atwood future.

corrective exercise

Here are three self-assessment techniques that will enable you to take a proactive approach to pain relief.
Don't overlook your movement patterns but instead learn how to keep yourself safe and make gains.
Corrective exercise is all the rage in fitness today, but how does it best apply to individual programming?
Focus on alignment issues involving the hips and negate pain in week two of this four part series.
Bad patterns need to be broken before improvement of stability and motor control can take place.
I tell everyone the best way to get better at BJJ is to actually do BJJ. The best way to keep doing Brazilian jiu jitsu is to make sure you have a good strength and conditioning program.
Years ago I was lured into "corrective exercise" and "functional training" by a back injury. I can tell you what I learned from that experience - and what I do now (and it's not standing on a Bosu).
Every Sunday we post the "Sunday Seven" so you can quickly see the seven most popular articles of the week. This week: push ups, weightlifting shoes, anatomy, eggs, sports etiquette, and more!
How can you hide corrective exercise within regular training so clients do what they need, rather than just what they want? Here's how.
The hip hinge is an incredibly powerful movement if done properly. If lifting is done improperly, back injury can result. Learn how to screen for a proper hip hinge and how to correct bad movement.

I Started The Process Of Dying Today

I realize I might have startled some of you with the title of this post.  No, I do not have a sickness – nor am I physically dying in any way.  I apologize if I gave some of you a panic.

Today, Good Friday, the day we remember the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross over 2,000 years ago – I began a journey with many people in my church.  It is a thirty day challenge called “LIVE DEAD.”

“LIVE DEAD” is a challenge to live life wholly for Jesus.  To die to self, knowing God will do a greater work through you.  It is a devotional book that has writings from many missionaries to East Africa.  It challenges us to give a “tithe” of our time each day (for 30 days) to God in prayer, study of the Word, worship, and interceding for the 40% of our world’s population that have NEVER heard the name of Jesus.  I know that figure sounds astounding, but you can learn more about it on the LIVE DEAD website.

Why do I share this with you?  First, for accountability.  By publicly declaring my intentions, I believe it will keep me that much more focused on the goal.  Second, to bring awareness to each Christian about the need for all of us to LIVE DEAD.  Christ died so that we could live, yes.  He also commanded each of us to die to self.

On this Good Friday, I pray that you will be reminded that it’s not about what we can GET from Jesus, it is about what we can GIVE to Him.  To honor Him.  To honor His reason for leaving Heaven and coming to Earth.  That reason:  “God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:17)

Love's monster game isn't enough for Wolves to top Spurs

Publish date:

Kevin Love shot the lights out but the Timberwolves couldn't hang on to a fourth quarter lead and they fell to the Spurs in San Antonio, 117-110 Friday night.

Love shot an incredible 8-of-10 on three-pointers en route to a 42-point, 14-rebound performance.

Minnesota used a dominating third quarter in which they outscored the Spurs 35-18 to take a nine-point lead in the final 12 minutes, but the defending Western Conference champs simply outplayed the Wolves in the fourth.

Tony Parker and company did so by outscoring the Wolves 37-21 in the fourth.

Parker paced the Spurs, slicing and dicing his way to the basket all night long, with 29 points and six assists.

Nikola Pekovic played well for the Wolves, finishing with a double-double of his own (18 points, 11 rebounds). Ricky Rubio had 15 points, eight assists and four steals.

At the end of the day, it's tough to win a game when the opponent shoots the lights out... and the Spurs did, shooting a blistering 55.8 percent for the game.

The river Cherwell runs through Magdalen's grounds which include over 100 acres of parkland - a beautiful and tranquil area in the heart of the city. Along with the magnificent cloisters, deer park and quads with formal lawns and borders, the claim to be the most beautiful college in Oxford is not without foundation. The College offers rooms on its main site but also rooms in their Waynflete Building across Magdalen Bridge, with stunning views of the College. In this building the modest rates do not include breakfast. Whichever Magdalen accommodation you choose to book, you can be sure of a warm welcome at the Porters' Lodge, from one of our student staff or the porters themselves. One of them will show you to your room and answer any queries you may have. You will also have free access to the College main grounds. We regret that we have no passenger lifts in the accommodation buildings, and are unable to provide parking at the College.

Magdalen College was founded in 1458 by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, and Lord Chancellor, on the site of the Hospital of St. John, just outside Oxford’s East Gate. Several additions were made after Waynflete’s death in 1486: in 1492, the foundation stone was laid for a grand new bell tower, 144 feet high. The High Street range, and the gargoyles in the Cloister followed. In the early 1730s, Edward Holdsworth designed a grand new quadrangle but only the north range, the New Building was never completed. English Breakfast is served in the medieval Hall. Choose from a full selection of cooked items as well as cereals, fresh fruit and continental pastries on display in the Buttery - then take your tray into the panelled Hall to enjoy your breakfast with other guests, students and visitors with the portraits of famous alumni looking down. Please note, the Waynflete Building accommodation is sold on a 'Room only' basis which does not include breakfast, for these rooms details of where breakfast may be obtained within 2-3 minutes' walk will be provided on a sheet on check-in. The Old Kitchen Snack Bar, with riverside terrace, is open for light lunches and afternoon teas. Most evenings the Old Kitchen Bar will be open serving drinks. Wifi, via The Cloud, is available in the Old Kitchen. Magdalen is set in over 100 acres of grounds and parkland with the River Cherwell flowing through. The Deer Park (with a herd of around 65) has been established for over 300 years. In addition to the formal lawns and borders there are water walks and meadows for all to enjoy. The Fellows' Garden, noted for its Spring flowers, is open throughout the year. Wifi is available throughout the College. Visitors are welcome to connect to The Cloud, details can be found in residential buildings and the porters have a note on trouble-shooting. Launderettes are available and a pre-paid card may be obtained from the Porters' Lodge. There are ironing facilities in the launderettes. Bathrooms are communal unless stated as en-suite.

Bury St Edmunds Chess Club

About the Club

Bury St Edmunds Chess Club welcomes players of all standards. We compete in two leagues and field a large number of teams. One of them will be a good fit for you. During the chess season the club nights are every Thursday from 7.15 pm until 10.30 pm. The venue is the Moreton Hall Community Centre in Symonds Road. Click here for a map.

Over the summer we meet fornightly. Here's the plan for Summer 2018.

We also have a sister club which meets on Tuesday afternoons at the Apex in the town centre.

Juniors are encouraged as soon as they are mature enough to mingle with the adults. The club maintains a strong connection with the Bury Knights Junior Chess Club. It is a friendly club where visitors and potential members are warmly welcomed.

Programme 2018

The Club was formed in 1998 when two of the then four chess clubs in Bury St Edmunds decided to merge. The Woolpack Wanderers and the Bury Knights were the two clubs involved and the main purpose of their coming together was to form a single strong club that would be able to challenge the might of Ipswich Chess Club, Suffolk's largest and strongest club.

This club was originally named the Bury Canons, and subsequently changed to Bury Cannons, due to its then location at the Lucky Break Snooker Club. In July 2009, following the demise of the Bury and West Suffolk Chess Club, by then the only other chess club in the town, our club's name was changed again to the Bury St Edmunds Chess Club.

It seems to us: High price of recreation, fake cop meets the real thing and subway fare distress

Does anybody think it’s odd that just as the New York State Legislature passed a budget that studiously avoided imposing a tuition increase for SUNY students, three officers of the Student Association at the University at Buffalo are calling for a new fee of $131 per semester?

The levy would help to create new recreational opportunities for UB’s students and would come on top of the $267 they already pay, though that money mainly goes for Division I athletics, not to students at large.

It may be a worthy goal, but there is no doubt that, at some not-too-distant point, it will be supplemented by an increase in tuition. It will be interesting to hear the conversation then.

So, a driver in Somerset, Pa., saw the flashing lights on the car parked diagonally across the road. She saw the road flares, as well, and dutifully pulled over. Logan Shaulis approached her and identified himself as a member of the “drug and alcohol division.” He demanded to see her identification.

Then things went wrong – for Shaulis.

The real police arrived.

At that point, Shaulis tried to hand a passenger in the car a BB gun – really – saying he couldn’t be caught with it.

Shaulis, 20, was himself charged with drunken driving, possessing instruments of crime and impersonating a public servant. He pleaded guilty to all charges.

His lawyer says he has completed substance abuse treatment while awaiting sentencing in June. No word yet on the possibility of a brain transplant.

Seems Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, despite their New York City ties, are having a bit of trouble figuring out the city’s subway system. Clinton, whose campaign headquarters is in Brooklyn, had to take a few swipes before her MetroCard would work.

Sanders did not even know fare cards are being used. He told the New York Daily News editorial board he could just use a token. When told his answer was wrong (tokens were phased out 13 years ago), the Vermont senator and Brooklyn native quickly corrected: “You jump over the turnstile.” To which the Daily News responded: “We would like our photographer to be there when you jump over the turnstile.”

Both Democratic presidential hopefuls will be happy to know that the Metro Rail payment system in Buffalo is a lot less complicated. A lot shorter ride, yes. But easy to operate. All aboard!
