  • Reliant Creates New Holiday Tradition Illuminating the At&T Performing Arts Center
    November 18, 2013 RELIANT CREATES NEW HOLIDAY TRADITION ILLUMINATING THE AT&T PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Southwest Airlines® To Host Concert Featuring Recording Star Jack Ingram and Fireworks Spectacular (DALLAS) Reliant will light up a new holiday tradition at the AT&T Performing Arts Center on Friday, December 6. The Reliant Lights Your Holidays event will feature a dazzling display of lights on the Center’s iconic venues and trees in Elaine D. and Charles A. Sammons Park as well as a snow-filled play area. Southwest Airlines Holiday Concert and Fireworks Spectacular will headline with country star Jack Ingram and the largest fireworks display ever held at the Center. Mayor Mike Rawlings will be joined by Sicily Dickenson, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Reliant, to help flip the switch and illuminate 250,000 holiday lights across the Center’s campus. The length of the lighted strands would stretch 6.54 miles and are highly energy efficient LEDs custom made for the Center. The lights, which will remain on throughout the holiday season, will outline the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, and 72 trees in Elaine D. and Charles A. Sammons Park. “Fun and unique holiday events like these are important to establishing downtown as a place where people want to live and work,” Mayor Rawlings said. “The lights, fireworks and snow-filled playground will really make the AT&T Performing Arts Center all the more magical. We are thrilled that Reliant is making this possible in the heart of the Dallas Arts District and look forward to this becoming an annual event.” Reliant’s sponsorship kicks off a three-year partnership with the Center for this extensive holiday showcase.

After I heard that Henry, a thoughtful, great loving man gave Gampy's letter to you early, I felt I could relax and get my letter to you nearer to the actual birthday. So many things to debate.

God was good to you in that you were so different in a physical appearance, both lovely looKing. You're both smart and bright.

Friends are friends forever as Michael W. Smith's song says. How true. I don't Know if I was supposed to write about your growing pains as normal young people growing up in an abnormal political world. You had them. So what? Among other things, thanKs to an amazing mother and father with the patience of saints, who set a good example and especially your own discipline, you have grown into absolutely wonderful, caring, giving, loving people.

  • Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators Reading Questions: Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen 1. What different themes does this book explore? Be as detailed and exhaustive as possible. 2. Pick a panel and analyze how Moore and Gibbons combine text and visuals to their utmost effect. 3. Pick a page and analyze its overall layout. How does the page as a whole make use of the comic book format to achieve meaning and impact. You might find it helpful to consider the larger themes of Watchmen. 4. Visual motifs are recurrent images that take on specific meanings relevant to a given work. What visual motifs appear throughout Watchmen and what meanings do they suggest? 5. How does the issue of crimefighting evolve over time in the world imagined in Watchmen? 6. Consider the names "Rorschach" and "Ozymandias." Why are these particularly appropriate names for these two characters? 7. Which character or characters do you sympathize with most? Why? 8. What does Chapter IV, "Watchmaker," reveal to us about Dr. Manhattan? How does he experience time? What are his interests? How would you summarize his view of existence? 9. How do Moore and Gibbons use the imagined history in Watchmen to comment on real events in 20th century America? 10. Look closely at Chapter V, "Fearful Symmetry." How does the idea of "symmetry" play out in this chapter in both form and content? 11. What are the worldviews of Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, and Adrian Veidt? Where do these worldviews intersect? Where do they differ? 12. What does Watchmen suggest about masked crimefighters and their costumes? Which characters bring these ideas most clearly into focus? 13.

  • Challenge Model of Tnfα Turnover at Varying LPS and Drug Provocations
    Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (2019) 46:223–240 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10928-019-09622-x (0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,-volV) ORIGINAL PAPER Challenge model of TNFa turnover at varying LPS and drug provocations 1,2 3 2 1 4 Felix Held • Edmund Hoppe • Marija Cvijovic • Mats Jirstrand • Johan Gabrielsson Received: 6 December 2018 / Accepted: 8 February 2019 / Published online: 18 February 2019 Ó The Author(s) 2019 Abstract A mechanism-based biomarker model of TNFa-response, including different external provocations of LPS challenge and test compound intervention, was developed. The model contained system properties (such as kt,kout), challenge charac- teristics (such as ks,kLPS,Km, LPS,Smax,SC50) and test-compound-related parameters (Imax,IC50). The exposure to test compound was modelled by means of first-order input and Michaelis–Menten type of nonlinear elimination. Test com- -1 pound potency was estimated to 20 nM with a 70% partial reduction in TNFa-response at the highest dose of 30 mgÁkg . Future selection of drug candidates may focus the estimation on potency and efficacy by applying the selected structure consisting of TNFa system and LPS challenge characteristics. A related aim was to demonstrate how an exploratory (graphical) analysis may guide us to a tentative model structure, which enables us to better understand target biology. The analysis demonstrated how to tackle a biomarker with a baseline below the limit of detection. Repeated LPS-challenges may also reveal how the rate and extent of replenishment of TNFa pools occur. Lack of LPS exposure-time courses was solved by including a biophase model, with the underlying assumption that TNFa-response time courses, as such, contain kinetic information.

  • ANXIETY & MMPI Abell, TL; Cutts, TF, And
    ANXIETY & MMPI Abell, TL; Cutts, TF, and Cooper, T. Effect of cisapride therapy for severe dyspepsia on gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life. Scand J Gastroenterol Suppl. 1993; 195: 60-3; Discussion 63-4. Abstract: Quality of life measures have received little attention in evaluation of therapy for dyspepsia. To examine the effect of cisapride on gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life measures, we studied eight patients with chronic, severe dyspepsia, before and after therapy with cisapride (20 mg three times daily) for 12 months. Gastrointestinal (GI) Total Symptom Score (TSS), Overall Patient Assessment (OPA), and quality of life by both trait (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)) and physical function (Sickness Impact Profile (SIP)) were measured at base line and at month 12 of cisapride therapy. Results showed significant improvement in TSS, OPA, and the MMPI Depression and Anxiety scales (all, p < 0.05). Improvement in the SIP physical dimension score approached significance (p = 0.065). We conclude that, in this group of patients with severe dyspepsia, both GI symptoms and quality of life measures improved with 12 months of cisapride therapy. These quality of life measures may prove useful in evaluating the efficacy of drug treatment for dyspepsia. Albrecht, NN; Talbert, FS; Albrecht, JW; Boudewyns, PA; Hyer, LA; Touze, J., and Lemmon CR.

Abstract: A sample of 47 Vietnam veterans with the diagnosis of combat-related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was administered the MMPI and MMPI-2. Pairwise comparisons were performed on the clinical scales, Harris Lingoes subscales, and scales relevant to the assessment of PTSD.
