Creating self-contained installation PKG file for Mac Agent deployment

This article contains instructions for re-packaging / creating self-contained Apple Mac installer package (PKG) file for deployment purposes. The method outlined in the article is meant only for scenarios involving mass-deployment to multiple Mac computers wherein the deployment tool being used is not able to distribute DMG files as-is.

Please note that if you are intending to install Applixure Mac Agent only to a few computers, installation is done in non-unattended fashion, or your software distribution tool is able to use Applixure Mac Agent's installation DMG file as-is, Applixure recommends using the original Mac Agent installation disk image directly instead of following the method outlined in this article.

By default, installer for Applixure Mac Agent is provided as a disk image file, identifiable by the DMG extension. This DMG file must first be mounted on each target Mac computer, and after successful mounting the actual installer - in macOS installer's PKG format - must be run from the mounted volume at /Volumes/Applixure.

This Applixure Mac Agent installation PKG file cannot be taken out from the DMG volume, and distributed solely on its own due to its dependencies on other files that must be found from the /Volumes/Applixure path at the time of the installation.

However, some software deployment tools meant for Mac environments are unable to take the disk image file (DMG) as-is for distribution, mount it and run the content within the mounted volume on the target computers. These tools might operate in a fashion where they take only the PKG file and distribute it through distribution tools own delivery mechnism to the target computers, independent of the original DMG file from where it was read out.

For these reasons, an alternative solution is required for the distribution of Applixure Mac Agent using deployment tool that cannot handle raw DMG files natively, but can handle distribution of [self-contained] PKG files as such.

This article outlines one such method, wherein the whole original Applixure Mac Agent installation DMG file is effectively packaged inside another - "wrapper" - PKG installer file, and this newly created PKG file is then used as a distribution artifact for the distribution tool to satisfy the condition of having only one self-contained PKG file.

Creating wrapper PKG

To "wrap" Applixure -provided disk image file into self-contained PKG file that can be readily run through a mass-deployment tool, please first download deployment package creation script ( from the attachment at the end of this article. After the download, follow the instructions below.

First, make sure you have the Applixure Mac Agent installation DMG file available on your computer in some directory, so that the script can access it.

  1. Extract contents of the ZIP file to any suitable directory on your Mac computer.

  2. Open Terminal and change into directory you extracted the contents of the ZIP file:
    cd /Users/kalle/Downloads/MakeDeploymentPkg/

  3. If needed, verify that deployment package creation script has proper permissions bits set:
    chmod u+x ./

  4. Run deployment package creation script,, specifying the full path to the downloaded Mac Agent DMG as parameter for it:
    ./ /Users/kalle/Downloads/ApplixureMacAgent-MyOrganisation.dmg

If the script executes successfully and no errors are encountered, there should now be a new PKG file as a result in the same directory where the script is located.

This new PKG file encapsulates the whole original DMG file as a payload and contains the necessary pre- and post-installation scripts, so that during the time of PKG's execution the DMG file will be mounted on the target machine and the actual original PKG file will be run from it, ultimately installing the Applixure Mac Agent.

This self-contained PKG can now be added to the software deployment tool as it has no external dependencies on any other files or paths during execution time.

If digital code signature is required for the deployment PKG file, you can edit the deployment package creation script before running it, and uncomment the productsign command invocation. In order for that command to succeed, you must additionally have a valid Mac Installer code signing certificate acquired from the Apple and installed to your Mac's keychain, and the <identity> part in the productsign's parameters replaced with the appropriate identity string matching the certificate.

Additionally, for macOS Catalina and newer macOS versions it may be additionally required that you notarize the resulting PKG file with your Apple ID. Please refer to Apple's documentation on notarization workflow on the command line for more information on how to notarize installation packages.

When I hear a song that I like but don’t know its name, I think there are only 3 ways to get its name: 1) try to remember or write down part of the lyrics that I can hear clearly, then search it on the Internet (a bit cumbersome and inefficient); 2) walk over and ask somebody what the song’s name is (somewhat inconvenient, and probably even the person playing or listening to this music knows nothing about it; 3) use an app like Shazam on a smartphone to intelligently, automatically, quickly and accurately identify almost any music being played anywhere!

Shazam is a very classic and powerful music recognition software. It has been developed and maintained for more than 20 years, and is much older than iPhone (founded in 1999). Shazam now has a very comprehensive music library that can accurately identify almost all the popular songs in English, Chinese, Japanese, etc. And most often, it is able to show you the details of a song after “listening to” the music accompaniment for seconds! With its help, we’re not afraid to miss any “good music by chance” anymore!

However, when I finally prepared this post to share it with you (at least half a year ago) – after a delay of four years, I suddenly red the news that Apple had officially announced the complete acquisition of Shazam. At this time, I almost wanted to cancel the collection of this application. Because we are sure that Shazam has neither potential nor motivation to continue to thrive anymore – It is almost impossible for a man who has fought his way to the end to resist the temptation of a “happy life” and be inspired to fight again. Instead, all left would only be a life of ease and pleasure.

In AppNee’s opinion, Apple thought it could use this method to accumulate and maintain popularity, but in fact not only did it ruin the future of this classic app, it also wasted $400 million! Maybe, only after buying all of Shazam’s major rivals (especially SoundHound) at the same time, will Apple be able to take over and lead the entire music recognition field and benefit from it in the end. Otherwise it’s just a dead end. Anyway, it’s really a shame that such a good app has just gone through all sorts of ordeal, but have no change to see the ultimate glory.

// Why Shazam is inferior to SoundHound //

SoundHound can not only recognize music in play, but also support searching music by humming a song! It basically has the same function as Shazam, and their music/song recognition accuracy is very high. Nothing but the reason that SoundHound is even more powerful than Shazam is that: it supports direct searches via humming a song.

That means, for those music that you still remember how to sing but never have a chance to get it to listen to, you can still do that simply by singing it to SoundHound by yourself or just humming out its tune. Even better, whether you’re singing it fast or slow, or humming it in a falling or rising tone, it almost always gives an exact match. If you use it for the first time, I believe you will be amazed at its magic and powerful.

// Edition Statement //

A Wild Night And A New Road

Today we have the classic scene where Leroy is sacked out on the living room couch and Loretta makes a point of dragging a hapless woman neighbor by that couch, just to insult Leroy in front of an audience, whether the audience is interested or not. We can safely assume the neighbor is not at all interested in this curious ritual that she has already witnessed at least fifty times. She may think twice next time before paying Loretta a visit.

Wings1295 said...

I bet she invited the lady over as soon as Leroy laid down on the sofa.

Mr. Beautiful said...

WIngs: Probably. Nobody's quicker with the phone than Loretta, the mouth of Levittown.

Home Administration The Chaos from Nivar, the Calamity from YCP’s Governance

The Chaos from Nivar, the Calamity from YCP’s Governance

by Mukesh
376 views Hyderabad

The Cyclone “Nivar” has resulted in severe damage to crops across the southern coast of Andhra Pradesh as well as the Rayalaseema Region where the death toll is nearing the two-digit mark. Meanwhile Tamil Nadu, which is expected to be the epicentre of the cyclone recorded only 3 deaths and its Revenue Minister claims that minimum loss of life and infrastructure was possible due to a pre-planned strategy.

Nellore, Prakasam, and Rayalaseema districts in Andhra Pradesh have received significantly higher rainfall as a result of the cyclone. Rivers like Penna, Swarnamukhi, Bhima were flooded while other medium and minor reservoirs filled up the brim resulting in the damage of crops.   According to our ground reports the Cyclone “Nivar” has affected more than 6000 villages across the State and close to 1.12 Lakh people have been directly affected. Amongst the damage to crop paddy farmers have suffered the most with over 3 Lakh hectares of crop got inundated. Other crops which are damaged included Bengal Gram, Cotton, Tobacco and Brinjal.

On 27 November 2020, during the State Cabinet Meeting the Chief Minister Jagan Reddy along with his ministers had assessed the situation of cyclone and announced a financial aid of Rs. 500 per individual to be disbursed at the time when the flood victims leaves the relief camps. Also, the Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Minister has directed the officials to prepare a detailed report by 10 December 2020 along with the estimates of crop loss. The Minister further assured that the compensation to farmers would be provided by the end of December.

However, several parts of the state still suffer due to the damage caused by the rains, electricity is yet to be restored in several places, Many are still stranded in the houses submerged due to water and mud. Even electricity was not restored in Nellore general hospital, and the generator was also non-functional due to waterlogging in the cellar, a patient named Venkateswarlu from Kovvur died due to lack of oxygen.

This is yet another instance where Jagan Reddy and his coterie of ministers have failed to minimise the devastation from a natural calamity. Despite tall claims by the ruling government, the YSRCP machinery has failed to restore atleast the electricity in the flood affected areas. Due to lack of electricity and water logging many houses remain inundated under water. Opposition party leader Atchannaidu demanded a compensation of Rs. 10,000 for every family due to the cyclone.

With the Assembly Winter Session beginning earlier today, the Telugu Desam Party Supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu and other party MLAs were suspended from the State Legislative Assembly. The YSRCP government has been negligent and continues to not just underscore but vehemently ignore the plight of flood affected farmers. Meanwhile, the Janasena Chief Pawan Kalyan is expected to visit the flood affected areas on 2 December 2020 unlike the CM who has conducted aerial surveys. As for the TDP, the former CM and party supremo Chandrababu Naidu had already asked volunteers to provide all necessary and available assistance to those affected.

Only A King Can…

From Osho’s stories:

A blind man is sitting under a tree.

A king comes, he touches the feet of the blind man and says, ‘Sir, where is the way to the capital?’

Then the prime minister comes and asks, ‘Mister, where is the way to the capital?’

Then comes an orderly. He hits the head of the old blind man: ‘You fool, which is the way to the capital?’

The king’s party had lost its way.

When they had all gone the blind man started laughing. Someone was sitting by the side and he asked, ‘Why are you laughing?’

The blind man said, ‘Look, the first man must have been a king, the second man must have been the prime minister and the third was a poor constable.’

The man was puzzled; he said, ‘How could you know? You are blind.’

The blind man said, ‘Just by their behavior…. The king was so certain of his superiority that he could touch my feet. The orderly was feeling so inferior that he had to hit me. He must be in a poor condition.’

Showers to turn to flurries tonight

Wednesday will be yet another cloudy, damp, showery and overall dismal day for the Finger Lakes.An area of low pressure is located just north of Lake Ontario this morning, with a secondary low developing along the New England coast. As the New England low moves north, it will gradually become the dominate system and absorb the low to our north.However, this process is going to take all day and into the night to take place. In the mean time, the Lake Ontario low will only slowly drift east.The result of this will be another showery day for the Finger Lakes. Showers are already scattered about the region, and if anything, they will only become more widespread later this morning and early afternoon.Temperatures will likely hover about where they are into the early afternoon hours as cool air seeping in from the west and daytime heating offset one another. As the sun starts to sink this afternoon, the cool air will win out and temperatures will start to drop.Some snow will start to mix in during the afternoon over higher elevations. As the shower activity pulls out tonight, it should all turn to snow with little to no accumulations for most areas.For the latest local forecast and live radar images visit the FingerLakes1.com FingerLakes1.com Local Weather Center.

The Hidden Connection Hopper, His Daughter, and Eleven Share in STRANGER THINGS

Warning: This post contains major spoilers for both seasons of Stranger Things.

Stranger Things 2 was as much about dealing with past trauma as it was about fighting the Shadow Monster, and that’s why the most touching relationship of the entire season was the one between Chief Hopper and Eleven. He is a grieving dad and she is a little girl without a family, and they both ultimately found comfort in one another. And if you’re like me and every scene between them made you cry (even their fight), get ready for waterworks once more, because this subtle detail connecting Hopper, his daughter Sara who passed away, and Eleven is going to ruin you–but it will also remind you why you love these characters so much.

We came across this incredible link between the three at Buzzfeed, but it was Redditor user keulenshwinger who first spotted it. It starts with the blue bracelet Hopper wears, which he has had on since the very first moment we met him in the show’s premiere. It appears to be something he never takes off, because he has it on when he is sleeping.

I’ll be honest, I never even noticed him wearing it before, and it has never been implicitly referenced through the first two seasons. But David Harbour himself did indicate it was more than just a fashion choice, and that there was real meaning behind it.

The flashbacks in season one with his daughter were crushing already, so brace yourself for where this is going, cause it’s about to get real dusty in here. Look at Sara’s ponytail.

If there’s any doubt her hair tie is the same blue bracelet we’ve seen Hopper wearing, this shot of him and her at the hospital after she lost all her hair makes it pretty clear it is. Look at his right hand.

Oof, right in the gut. And it made another prominent appearance in season one when a very emotional Hopper called his ex-wife. The way he is wearing/holding the bracelet during that call gives the scene another layer of sadness.

Which brings us to season two, where Hopper still had the bracelet on. Here he is from episode six as the demo-dogs start to climb out of the hole, as always wearing it on his right hand.

So how does this connect to Eleven? In the final episode of the season, Paul Reiser’s Dr. Owens gives him a birth certificate for his daughter Jane Hopper, with the warning to keep it quiet for at least a year. But Hopper asks if it would be okay to make a one-night exception. As we know he was hoping to let Eleven go to the Hawkins Middle School Snow Ball with her friends like a normal kid. Well take a look at what she is wearing during her dance with Mike.

…..Oh my god. I tried to warn you! I’m sorry if you’re now crying at your desk, but it had to be done.

This is obviously sad, but it is also emotionally crushing in a good way too. Because it shows that while they will always have to deal with the tragedies of their past and will always be framed by them, they are trying to get better together. We know how Sara’s death affected Hopper, and how much suffering Eleven has experienced since being taken from her mother, so sure that little blue bracelet connects their pain, but it also connects their healing as a family.

Of course now when next season rolls around we won’t just be worried about the safety of Eleven and Hopper, we’ll be worried about that blue bracelet being okay too. Considering what happened to Bob, Barb, and Benny the diner owner, we’re extra concerned about something that starts with the letter “B.”

I really hope the Shadow Monster doesn’t have a problem with hair ties.

Did this hidden detail make you cry? Feel free to get out all your emotions in our comments section below.

Objective For rheumatoid arthritis (RA), there is no consensus on how to define and assess flare. Variability in flare definitions impairs understanding of findings across studies and limits ability to pool results. The OMERACT RA Flare Group sought to identify domains to define RA flares from patient and healthcare professional (HCP) perspectives.

Methods Flare was described as a worsening of disease activity of sufficient intensity and duration to consider a change in therapy. International patients and HCPs participated in separate and combined rounds of Delphi exercises to rate candidate flare domains previously generated in patient focus groups. Core domains were defined as those with ≥70% ratings of being ‘essential’ according to the third/final Delphi exercise.

Results The final Delphi included 125 RA patients from 10 countries and 108 HCPs from 23 countries who rated 14 domains. Patients had a mean (±SD) age of 56±12 years and disease duration of 18±12 years. HCPs included physicians from clinical practice/research and industry, allied health providers and researchers with 17±11 years experience. Core domains comprised: pain (93%), function (89%), swollen joints (84%), tender joints (81%), participation (81%), stiffness (79%), patient global assessment (76%) and self-management (75%). Fatigue (68%), which did not reach group consensus, will receive additional consideration.

Conclusions As part of the process to develop a measure for RA flare, patients and HCPs agreed on eight core domains. Next steps include identifying items to assess domains and conducting studies to validate and refine a new measure.

Statistics from

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, disabling inflammatory condition affecting 1% of the population.1 Flares are common and reflect episodes of increased disease activity beyond normal day-to-day variation.2,,4 Importantly, flare may mean different things to patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) who often have different perspectives5 ,6 and perceptions.7,,9 No standardised criteria exist to define or assess flares in RA.2 ,4 Across clinical trials, flare definitions include a mix of clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs), often using arbitrary thresholds.3 Variability in definitions impairs interpretation of findings and limits ability to pool results to address questions of efficacy and safety.2,,4 ,6 Even the use of thresholds for common disease activity indices (eg, disease activity score (DAS), clinical disease activity index (CDAI) or inverse American College of Rheumatology (ACR) or European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria) are problematic, as these indices often do not adequately capture change across the disease activity spectrum or in the direction of worsening.2 ,10 ,11 Current approaches to assess worsening or flare emphasise clinical features with limited incorporation of patient-centred outcomes, including, at most, global assessments, pain and physical function.3 ,5 ,12 Recent recommendations emphasise including the patient perspective using a full range of patient-valued domains in outcomes research.5 ,13,,15

Thus, a standardised RA flare definition is needed for research and clinical care that combines both clinician and patient perspectives.2,,4 ,6 ,12 An optimal definition would represent clinically meaningful events, have pathophysiological relevance and facilitate development of a measure to reliably classify patients across clinicians and settings. In trials, a standardised definition could guide decisions about remission and loss of efficacy. In clinics, it could facilitate clinician–patient communication, promote ‘tight control’, and signal the adequacy of treatment. In research, a standardised definition could enhance understanding of potential mechanisms, critical thresholds, impact of treatment, relationship with co-morbidities and other factors (eg, self-management) on outcomes. Similar efforts to define flares are underway for lupus,16 ,17 ankylosing spondylitis,7 ,9 ,18 ,19 juvenile arthritis17and gout.20 ,21

An initial goal of the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) RA Flare Group was to achieve consensus among an international group of clinicians and RA patients of key features that characterise RA flares.2 We have previously reported on parallel activities in patients and HCPs conducted over 3 years (online supplementary figure S1), integrating patients at all stages.2,,6 In this study, we present results of consensus Delphis with patients and HCPs on key domains. Ethical/scientific approval was obtained at a lead institution (08/H0702/67), followed by site investigators.

Identifying flare characteristics

While flare may be used to describe any increase in disease activity, we sought consensus on a definition representing worsening of signs and symptoms of sufficient intensity and duration to consider a change in therapy.2,,4 ,6 We began with focus groups of RA patients (n=67) across five countries (UK, Germany, USA, Canada, Australia) with qualitative analysis to identify relevant features.5 Investigators including patient research partners identified 48 descriptors representing 14 domains. Next, Delphis were conducted with patients and HCPs.6

Delphi processes

The Delphi technique facilitates consensus with geographically dispersed participants through sequential questionnaire rounds. Participants rate the importance of items; those achieving >70% consensus are taken into the next round until agreement is reached.6 ,22

Patient Delphi

The patient Delphi was conducted from March to May 2010. Focus group participants, OMERACT RA patients and other individuals with RA were contacted by letter, e-mail or by investigators. Sociodemographic and disease information were requested, followed by three tasks. First, respondents were asked to ‘think about flare as the point where your arthritis is so active that you need to ask either for a review, or a change or increase in medication’. Items representing the domains identified in focus groups were presented. Two versions were used that presented items and domains in different orders. Patients rated items as ‘essential for deciding you are in flare (you can't imagine being in a flare without it)', ‘important … (you could still be in a flare without it)’ or ‘not important … (it doesn't help you decide)'. Second, patients ranked up to six items ‘that are absolutely essential for you to decide that you are in flare’. Finally, participants rated 11 early warning signs of flare (previously generated by patients), 5 and ranked up to six in order of importance (French participants did not complete this section).

HCP Delphis 1 and 2

Delphis were conducted concurrently with the patient Delphi. In HCP Delphi 1, OMERACT participants, rheumatologists and other professionals completed an online survey. The stated goal was ‘to seek additional guidance to refine our list (generated from patient focus groups) … and identify additional potential domains that may be important in defining flare from the patient and investigator perspectives’. Sociodemographic and occupational information was requested, followed by three tasks. Domains (rather than items) from the patient focus groups5 were presented along with clinical indicators including tender joint count (TJC), swollen joint count (SJC), laboratory results (labs) and patient and physician global assessments (PGA and MDGA, respectively). First, HCPs rated domains as ‘essential for a definition of flare for clinical trials (can't imagine a definition… without it)', ‘important for a definition of flare for clinical trials (a patient could still be in a flare without it)’ or ‘not important for developing a definition of flare for clinical trials (it doesn't help you decide)', with space for additional suggestions. Second, HCPs rated RA indices (DAS, CDAI, ACR) as ‘essential,’ ‘important’ or ‘not important’ flare indicators. Finally, potential anchors (withdrawal, worsening, flare as an explicit term in adverse events, disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) drug change, DMARD titration, re-treatment) were explored for use in secondary data analysis. For HCP Delphi 2, domains with low importance in the HCP Delphi 1 were dropped. Participants were told that five domains had reached consensus for the preliminary core set: SJC (88%), pain (83%), PGA (82%), TJC (76%) and physical function (72%) and the remaining domains were presented for reconsideration. HCPs ranked their top six domains in order of importance and indicated which ‘should be included in a central core of domains’ with space for comments.

Preliminary Analysis

The percentage of patients selecting items in patient Delphi and domains in HCP Delphi 2 were considered together. Domains with ≥90% agreement (essential or important) represented the preliminary core set. These and other high-scoring domains were reconsidered in Delphi 3, using patients' words5 as exemplars to clarify domain headings.

Combined Patient and HCP Delphi

The final Delphi was conducted with patients and HCPs from October to December 2010. A one-page summary (9.3 grade reading level) presented the domains and proportion of patients and HCPs rating each as essential to defining flare. The stated goal was ‘to work as a single group … and together decide which of these issues are ESSENTIAL features of flare.’

Previous patient participants were invited by letter, e-mail or in clinic to complete the online survey or a paper version, with additional patients from previous OMERACT meetings, participating clinic sites and patient organisations. Previous HCP participants and colleagues were invited to complete the survey online.

HCPs were asked to ‘…Think about a flare where RA is so active that the patient needs to ask either for a visit or call to the doctor or a change or increase in medication.’ RA patients were asked to ‘Think back to a time when you were in flare—what were the KEY signs and symptoms of your RA that made you decide you were in a flare?’ Respondents rated the domains as essential or not essential to the definition. Two survey versions presented the domains in different orders.

Statistical analysis

We decided a priori that the primary analyses would be based on the combined data; domains with >70% consensus would represent the core set.6 Missing responses were coded as ‘not essential.’ The Z test was used to test for the null hypothesis (ie, equal proportion ranked the domain essential). Within groups, empirical cumulative distributions were calculated to obtain a weighted mean, and for the purpose of sensitivity analysis.

Separate patient and HCP Delphis

A total of 148 patients completed patient Delphi 1 (table S1). Six domains were selected by ≥90% as essential/important to defining flare (pain, physical function, fatigue, stiffness, systemic features and participation); 28 items representing eight domains were similarly classified by 70–89% of patients and moved forward to Delphi 3 (online supplementary table S2). Early warning signs were identified by 77 (62%) participants (online supplementary table S3). One hundred HCPs completed Delphi 1 (online supplementary appendix 1) and 77 completed Delphi 2. In HCP Delphi 1, pain, TJC, SJC, physical function and MDGA were rated by ≥90% as essential/important and were taken to Delphi 3 (online supplementary appendix 2). Labs, fatigue, stiffness and sleep were carried forward to Delphi 2. Several items within domains were combined and also carried forward: PGA (five), participation (four), self-management (two), systemic features (two) and emotional distress (two). Lowest scoring items (imaging, intimacy, cognitive function) were dropped. Thus, 14 domains were included in Delphi 3.

Combined patient and HCP Delphi 3

A total of 233 respondents (108 HCPs and 125 patients; table 1) from 24 countries completed Delphi 3. Patients were mostly women, well educated and had established RA (range 2–55 years); 8.3% were diagnosed ≤3 years. HCPs were mostly physician scientists, but also allied health providers, epidemiologists and industry researchers. Most (>82%) had participated in the earlier Delphis. Core domains identified included: pain (93%), physical function (89%), SJC (84%), TJC (81%), participation (81%), stiffness (79%), PGA (76%) and self-management (75%). Figure 1 presents the pooled proportions and relative strength of agreement; bubble size reflects the relative precision of each estimate.

Table 1

Selected characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthcare professionals

Patients' and HCPs' results were compared (table 2). There were no statistically significant differences (p >0.05) between groups for pain, function, TJC and stiffness domains. Patients were significantly more likely to classify participation and self-management as essential, whereas HCPs were more likely to rate SJC and PGA as essential. Fatigue was classified by 68% as an essential/important domain (76% patients, 60% HCPs; p=0.011). Significant discrepancies were evident between groups on remaining domains. Patients were more likely than HCPs to rate systemic features, sleep and emotional distress as essential, while more HCPs rated labs and MDGA as essential.

Table 2

Proportion of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthcare professionals rating candidate domains as ‘essential’ or ‘important’ to defining flare in rheumatoid arthritis

We conducted exploratory analyses to examine homogeneity of effects within domains by group. Among patients, age, education, duration and language were significant effect modifiers. Older patients (>60 years) were significantly more likely to rate MDGA (62% vs 25%, respectively; p<0.001) and labs (59% vs 38%; p<0.02) as essential to defining flares. Persons with high school education or less were more likely to rate emotional distress (73% vs 50%; p=0.01), MDGA (54% vs 34%; p=0.04), TJC (95% vs 80%; p=0.02) and labs (61% vs 39%; p<0.02) as essential, with a trend evident in stiffness (90% vs 76%; p=0.06). Patients with longer disease duration (>10 years) were more likely to rate fatigue (82% vs 66%; p=0.05) as essential, with a trend in systemic features (75% vs 58%; p=0.06). Native English speakers were less likely to rate emotional distress (51% vs 71%; p=0.04) and more likely to rate fatigue (83% vs 61%; p=0.01) as essential. Among HCPs, sex, age, experience, previous Delphi and OMERACT participation and native English speaking were significant effect modifiers. Women HCPs were significantly more likely than men to rank self-management (74% vs 52%; p=0.02) as essential. Older HCPs (>50 years) were significantly more likely to rank fatigue (71% vs 52%; p=0.05) as essential; conversely, there was a trend for less experienced HCPs (≤15 years) to rank sleep as essential (42% vs 25%; p=0.07). Previous Delphi experience (yes/not sure or no) was associated with a significantly greater likelihood of endorsing fatigue as an essential domain (65% vs 70% vs 35%; p=0.04). Native English speakers and OMERACT 10 participants were less likely to rate labs (65% vs 86%; 68% vs 85% respectively, p<0.05) and more likely to rate function (93% vs 80%; p=0.04) as essential.

Because group sizes were unbalanced, weighted analyses were performed. There was no change in the pooled proportion among core domains (pain, physical function, swollen joint and TJC) or fatigue. Scores changed by 1% in seven domains (participation, stiffness, patient and MDGAs, labs, systemic features and emotional distress) while self-management and sleep decreased by 2%.

We used a rigorous, iterative mixed-methods approach to identify consensus among an international group of RA patients and HCPs on eight essential domains describing RA flare. There was close agreement among all on pain, physical function, stiffness and TJC. Patients were more likely than HCPs to rate participation and self-management as essential; conversely, HCPs rated SJC and PGA more highly than patients.

Consensus was not reached for several domains. Fatigue just missed our predefined threshold.2 ,4 ,6 Fatigue was highly endorsed by patients overall, especially those with longer disease duration. However, only 60% of HCPs rated it as essential to describing flare. Older HCPs and participants in earlier Delphis also rated fatigue more highly. Greater disagreement was evident in other areas. Although MDGA and labs were commonly endorsed by HCPs, they did not achieve group consensus; notably these are two of seven ACR Core Set Preliminary Criteria for Disease Activity.23 Conversely, patients rated PROs (systemic features, sleep, emotional distress) more highly than HCPs, although these also failed to reach the threshold for group consensus for core domains. In subgroup analyses, HCPs and older patients and those with less education were more likely to endorse the importance of traditional clinical variables (MDGA, labs, TJC) as essential indicators of flares.

There have been ongoing calls to include additional domains in the RA core set for disease activity. In 2007, OMERACT attendees recommended that fatigue should be viewed as a core measure and be included in all trials.24 ACR and EULAR have also endorsed fatigue as an important domain for inclusion in clinical trials.25 However, fatigue did not quite reach overall consensus, and therefore requires further exploration as to its ability to reflect flare. EULAR investigators recently developed a patient-derived composite response index – RA impact of disease. Gossec et al queried 96 patients across 10 countries to identify domains (pain, disability, fatigue, emotional well-being, sleep, coping and physical well-being); preference weights were established subsequently in 505 patients.26 Ratings were similar across countries, patients and disease activity levels. These results suggest that while there is overlap between domains used to assess RA impact and disease flare, there are also important differences that indicate the need for specific research toward understanding and measuring RA flares.

The lack of agreement between patients and HCPs in several domains highlighted in figure 1 is significant and underscores enduring differences in perspectives of both groups. Despite growing consensus of the importance of understanding disease impact through the patient's perspective,12 ,15 ,27 little advancement has been made. The 1993 ACR Preliminary Core Set includes four clinical indicators and three PROs.23 Calls to expand this core set began soon after its release. At OMERACT 6 in 2002, patients and providers both indicated that the patient perspective needed to move beyond the three traditional PROs.28 Our results suggest that RA continues to be viewed by many HCPs through the fairly narrow lens of traditional clinical indicators, and that the ACR Core Set fails to address multiple domains that patients have identified as important to them.29 Indeed, the current clinical perspective has shifted remarkably little in 20 years. In part, this underscores the challenge of capturing the multidimensional nature of disease activity, including flares, as well as a paucity of measures available to capture several domains. For example, self-management may prove especially challenging to measure as critical elements may differ among patients and over time. Indeed, the PGA may represent an aggregation of patient concerns. Continued reliance on traditional clinical indices restricts the focus to a few of the domains that patients have identified as important to them. The 2011 ACR/EULAR Definitions of Remission in RA Clinical Trials include PGA as the only PRO.30 To improve the lives of RA patients, we must move beyond traditional indicators and incorporate dimensions that patients identify as essential to them into clinical definitions.

This work provides preliminary face, construct and content validity toward a universal definition of RA flare. This is an important first step toward establishing ‘truthfulness’ when developing a comprehensive measure of flare incorporating patient and HCP perspectives for use in research and clinical settings. Study strengths include the large, multi-national sample of RA patients and providers to facilitate a global perspective. Our qualitative work with patients across five countries to inform domain selection reflects necessary first steps when developing measures with strong psychometric properties. While the representativeness of our convenience samples is unclear, we purposefully sampled across the spectrum of relevant attributes. Most patients had longstanding disease and reported low-moderate disease activity when completing Delphis; validation of these domains in early RA is currently underway. The impact of language, disease activity and other effect modifiers in patients warrants further study. Little is known about response shift in RA PROs.

Our results operationalise a flare definition in RA where a change in therapy may be indicated and complement those of Berthelot et al31 who are developing a PRO querying any disease activity change over the past 3 months; similarities and differences in methods and results are described elsewhere.12 More work is required across the flare spectrum in this era that targets tight control and remission as therapeutic goals. The identification of early warning signs, experienced by two-thirds of patients, merits further study. Flare reflects a dynamic state, and optimal methods to describe episodes are needed. Standardised definitions and measures can aid in identification of meaningful thresholds for clinical evaluation and evaluation of key outcomes such as joint damage, disability and quality of life.

Currently, no RA disease activity measure exists that assesses the eight individual core domains. The next steps to creating a flare measure are to identify existing validated questions or develop new ones to query domains. Rigorous testing across patients with all levels of disease activity, severity, disease duration, in diverse settings and in comparison with existing measures will be required for validation. Until then, it may be possible to identify a combination of validated clinical markers and items in PROs to potentially assess relevant flare domains.

You probably know it. You drive in your car in the evening hours. Suddenly, the pedestrian, previously invisible in the dark, becomes visible between two streets lights or perhaps the shadow of two parked cars. It can be a dangerous scenario and can we do anything to avoid it at all?

This week’s blog post is about how a combination of sensors in the city landscape, either via street lights or roadside lights and the development of intelligent car lights, can actually solve this particular problem.

Can Street Lights and Cars Make Road Traffic Safer?

Experts talk about what they call the “camouflage effect”, which is, when light conditions blur the contrast between an object and its surroundings. This is the case when the human eye has to capture objects under these conditions, as does the so-called eyes of autonomous vehicles.

Scientists at the Light Technology Institute in Germany have developed the Propix headlight, which can adapt its light distribution to the environment. By combining stationary street lamps with this headlight, optimum visibility can be achieved. The light can help to reshape photometric distributions to completely suppress certain areas while other areas light up. Meaning, when the sensors sense an “obstacle” placed in a blind spot for the eye or cameras, the lamp will automatically react and illuminate or dim the light – what we also know from LED lighting.

They believe that if we can equip cars with an additional sensory organ that can sense movement, road traffic can be made even more safe, which is also the goal of this headlight and the technology behind it. They are still not quite there, and it is planned to test the technology in a test area for autonomous driving. The challenge lies in the interaction between the different sensors in street lighting and the headlight, says chief scientist Cornelius Neumann.

Breuil modules for Raynaud schemes

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

16 Scopus citations

Let p be an odd prime, and let OK be the ring of integers in a finite extension K / Qp. Breuil has classified finite flat group schemes of type (p, ..., p) over OK in terms of linear-algebraic objects that have come to be known as Breuil modules. This classification can be extended to the case of finite flat vector space schemes G over OK. When G has rank one, the generic fiber of G corresponds to a Galois character, and we explicitly determine this character in terms of the Breuil module of G. Special attention is paid to Breuil modules with descent data corresponding to characters of Gal (over(Q, -)p / Qpd) that become finite flat over a totally ramified extension of degree pd - 1; these arise in Gee's work on the weight in Serre's conjecture over totally real fields.

A New Hope (For Star Wars)

While I set here anxiously waiting to race to the theater to catch Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I find myself thinking back both fondly, and trepidatiously on the franchise. Many amazing media regarding Star Wars have been thrown at us over the years and I cant help but feel anger over the future. Star Wars movies have done VERY well since the debacle that was The Phantom Menace. Especially the newest wave (Force Awakens, Rogue One). Also, with Disney buying 21st Century Fox, there will be some interesting things on the horizon for our beloved franchise. On the video game side, however we are 0/2. Both new Battlefronts have been dumpster fires of the highest order. Most of us die hard fans are holding out for different companies making a new KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic) or a next gen Jedi Knight game. As it stands now, the future is bleak for gamers, but shining for movie-goers. Regardless, if you are a fan, get out and support the Star Wars media that you like, and not support the ones that you don’t. I for one hope that this franchise continues for many more decades.

Valentine's Day Chicken Maple Syrup Pecan Pancakes on the Grill

Valentine Day Chicken Pancakes with Maple Sugared Pecans

One chicken breast

Pancake batter made ahead of time and ready to pour over grill

1/4 cup Sugared Pecans

A Dash of Cinnamon

Maple Syrup

Sprinkle of Powdered Sugar

Fire up the Arteflame grill or get your Arteflame Burger Pucks or Grill Insert nice and hot. When the temperature reaches between 400 and 450 you’re ready to go.  Remember to lightly coat the cooktop with oil.

Place chicken breast between two pieces of saran wrap and pound to 1/8 thick, or desired thickness. Take heart shaped cookie cutter and pound cutter into the breast. Take scissors and cut out. Place chicken on grill or insert. Get out your heart shaped cooky cutter and make sure you rub some butter or oil on the inside so the pancake won't stick to it.

About 3-4 minutes each side. When done place chicken breast on top of pancake sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon, pour a bit of maple syrup over the chicken and top with the sugared pecans.

Nightly Ramblings ~ Friday’s Report

Thank you, Leslie, for suggesting that I drop the “What I Would Have Done Differently” portion of this format. I completely agree that I shouldn’t be feeding into any maladaptive perfectionism that will only bring me down at the end of the day. Instead, I’ll try to focus on the things I’m grateful for. A boost in positivity can’t be a bad thing.

Highest Points of the Day

  • Finding music that helped me overcome the writer’s block I had yesterday with Chapter 12. I’m almost done with it now.
  • This is the song I’ve had on loop during the entire writing session (no it’s not Zi’Tah in my novel, but the game zone’s music helped a lot as I wrote about my own forest of giant trees – wished I thought to load this music up sooner):
  • a part of me is tempted to log into the game and snag screenshots of this zone for you all, but I’m resisting since I know how this game tends to suck me in for long stretches of time – how long that resistance will last is hard to say since it’s been awhile that I’ve logged in (seriously wish Scholar Owl and Tuxedo Cat would play with me once in awhile – we even talked about making Let’s Plays despite the fact it’s an old game)

Lowest Points of the Day

  • listening to this game music made me remember that Tuxedo Cat has mentioned more than once his favorite BGM in the game is Windurst’s theme song so I looked up piano sheet music for this game…. it was printed back in 2008 and is already selling at collector prices: the cheapest I found on Amazon was around $118 (the Japanese language version)
  • I’m still debating on whether to buy it for Christmas anyway since the music itself is universal – the only reason I’m hesitant is that it doesn’t list which songs are in the book of sheet music – would suck to buy the book (at any price) and it not have the one song he likes the most, but that song is for a starter zone so I expect that it would be in there
  • This is the song Tuxedo Cat likes so much:

Things I Got Done Today

    • went back to bed right after the two younger boys got on the bus (around 8am) and slept until 2pm
  • Chapter 12 is almost finished

What I’m Grateful for Today

  • that I was allowed to catch up on sleep in peace without getting any grief from anyone about it
  • I feel physically better than I did yesterday
  • after the long nap, I was able to write without slogging through it

Tomorrow’s To-Do List

  • Catch up on laundry
  • Finish posting the rest of my NaNoWriMo writing prompts (got up to #26 scheduled right now)
  • Probably ought to get my video finished for YouTube as well

4 thoughts on “Nightly Ramblings ~ Friday’s Report

  1. I will always congratulate someone for getting more sleep. It’s beyond crucial for bipolar treatment to get plenty of rest.

    Call around to some local guitar stores. They usually have piano sheet music and maybe you’ll get lucky.

    Initial feedback on Ashmei products

    First time owner of Ashmei garments and im impressed, despite having quite high standards and expectations. Lovely quality garments cut and manufactured well

    Peter B.

    Brilliant kit.

    Really like this kit, the quality is fantastic and has taken the place in my kit draw rather than that other kit manufacturer who's name begins with an R. Really versatile, I use it on the bike, hiking and indoor cycling. It washes well and drys really quickly. I need to order a sleeveless top to replace the "other" top that is really worn out. If the Ashmei kit lasts as long I'll be well pleased. Recommended.

    When it’s cold the T-shirt is agreable warm, If it is warm the T-shirt is cool. What more do you need? Wearing it as a everyday-life T-shirt will attrack everyones eye!

    Men’s Merino t-shirt

    Fantastic quality as expected from Ashmei. Feels very soft to the touch and a pleasure to wear. Great wicking properties, and still feels comfortable when damp. Nice close fitting T which looks great when worn casually but performs when you need it.

    Simon P.
    United Kingdom United Kingdom
    Perfect T=Shirt

    I own a few Ashmei pieces and as expected this is another top quality item and well made. I mainly wear it as casual wear and has been a go to item during the summer, both for the excellent fit and the odour control of the fabric. Highly recommended and will be buying more.
