Our scene opens in a large, well-furnished suburban house, where a woman is making a hurried telephone call in a state of apparent fear and excitement. Betsy, this is Edna. Oh, hello, dear. I was waiting for your call. Have you moved into your new house? Yes. I moved in an hour ago. Betsy, can you come over here immediately? What's the matter, Edna? You sound nervous. I am. I... I can't explain. I'm not sure of what I found yet, but I wish you'd come over. It's terribly important that I... I'm frightened. I'll be there in 15 minutes. All right. I hope Betsy comes right over. Maybe I'd better call the police. I... No! Hello, Mr. Keen. Oh, I'm his partner, Mike Clancy. You want to see me, Miss? Mr. Keen? Yes. Oh, my name is Betsy Harlow. I've come to you for help, sir, because I'm terribly worried about my sister, Edna. Something's happened to her. I just know it. Oh, take it easy now. Bring over a chair for Miss Harlow, Mike. Why, sure, boss. I... I'd have gone to the police only. I'm not certain myself exactly what happened. I looked through the house, but everything was in order, and I... Here. Relax in this chair, Miss Harlow. You look all worn out. I... I've been up all night hoping I'd hear from Edna. Has your sister disappeared, Miss Harlow? Completely, Mr. Keen. Edna phoned me yesterday about 6.30 in the evening. She just moved into a new house she rented on Wilson Drive. That's in the suburbs, eh? Yes, Mr. Keen. When she phoned, she seemed to be very worried about something. She asked me to come right over to her house, and she'd explained. Yes. Go on. When I got there, the house was dark. I kept bringing the doorbell for half an hour, and then managed to find a window on the ground floor that was unlocked. That's how I got in and searched the place. What did you find, Miss Harlow? Wasn't your sister there? No, Mr. Keen. It wasn't a trace of Edna. Then I got in touch with her old apartment house here in town. They told me she'd moved out hours before. Well, what about her furniture? Edna had no furniture of her own, Mr. Keen. She always rented furnished apartments. Edna's my older sister, and she never married. I see. Last week she told me she'd found this wonderful furnished house to rent quite cheap. Then she moved in, phoned you, and vanished. Yes. Mr. Keen, my sister couldn't have left town without letting me know, and when she telephoned yesterday, she sounded so frightened. Miss Harlow, you say you've searched the house thoroughly? Yes, Mr. Keen. Mike, we'll take a look at the premises ourselves right now. Thank you, sir. I've been so worried. I've been afraid to think of what might have happened to Edna. There's a couch in my office inside, Miss Harlow.  Well, my partner and I make a search of your sister's house. We'll phone you here if we have any news. You mean if you find out that my sister is... No, sure now there's no point in being pessimistic about it. Maybe everything's all right, Miss Harlow. No, Mr. Clancy, I can feel that something's happened to Edna, and I don't believe I'll ever see her alive again. Here's Edna Harlow's house, Mike. It's a big place, boss. All quiet and peaceful looking. That's how it looks from the outside, Mike, but a search may reveal a different story. There's a fella parking his car right behind us at the curb, Mr. Keen. Just a second, Mike. Let's find out what his business is. If you gentlemen are interested in that house, I'm afraid it's already been rented. As a matter of fact, we are interested. Well, I rented it a week ago. I'm the agent, Fred Dunlap. Came over to give Miss Harlow an extra set of keys. Mr. Dunlap, when did you last talk to Edna Harlow? Three days ago, and what makes you so interested in my tenant? My name is Keen. Mr. Keen, the famous investigator? My partner, Mike Clancy, and I would like to examine that house thoroughly, Mr. Dunlap. Well, I'm sure Miss Harlow won't object. But what's wrong? Why do you want to search the house? Edna Harlow seems to have disappeared. Disappeared? But I only talked to her. We'll explain further when we get inside the house. Now, I'd appreciate your opening the door with that extra set of keys you have, Mr. Dunlap. Okay, Mr. Keen. Mike, you start on this floor. Take Mr. Dunlap with you. I'll search the second floor. Okay, boss. And call me if you'll find any clue whatsoever. Right. Where do you want to begin, Mr. Clancy? Well, where does that door lead to? The kitchen. The house has eleven rooms altogether. The living room and the dining room are off this foyer? That's right, Mr. Clancy. Well, let's have a look at them. Say, does Mr. Keen think something's happened to Edna Harlow? Well, she ain't shown up in almost twenty-four hours. I'd better answer that phone. Hello? May I talk to Ms. Edna Harlow, please? Well, she isn't here, Mr. Wicker. This is Fred Dunlap, the house agent. Oh, yes. Has my wife arrived at the house yet? No. Well, look, maybe you'd better come over here yourself, Mr. Wicker. You see, Mr. Keen, the famous tracer of Lois Persons is here, and, well, there's something wrong. Well, you'd better come over and he'll explain. All right. Tell my wife to wait there for me. I will, Mr. Wicker. Goodbye. Who is that on the telephone, Mr. Dunlap? Oh, Mr. Keen, it was Henry Wicker. He and his wife own this house. I act as their agent. He's coming over here? Yes, and his wife is on her way. There's Mrs. Wicker at the door now. I'll let her in. I found something upstairs. What is it, Mr. Keen, sir? I picked up this cigar stub in the corridor. The band is still on it. A cigar stub, eh? Yes, it had been dropped and ground up by someone's foot. Judging by the ash, it must have been dropped there very recently. Now, it may not mean anything, but it's worth keeping in mind. Have you searched the ground floor yet? No, Mr. Keen. We'll start with the entrance hall. I'll talk to Mrs. Wicker, the owner of the house. Right. Mr. Keen is inside here. I hope this isn't serious. It may be, Mrs. Wicker. Very serious. Oh, you're Mr. Keen? Yes. I'm Mrs. Wicker, the owner of this house. You rented it to Edna Harlow? Yes, Mr. Keen. It's the first time we've ever rented the place since we inherited it from my uncle. My husband and I have been abroad for months, and during that time the house was empty. Mr. Keen, sir, come here quick. What is it, Mike? Sands preservers, but look what I found in this closet. The lady better keep back. It aired a pretty sight. Well, I'm afraid this ends our search, Mike. What is it? It's the body of a woman, Mrs. Wicker. She hasn't been dead very long. She was strangled, apparently. The closet door was locked, boss, but I forced it open. That explains why Betsy Harlow didn't find her sister's body when she searched the house, because I'm almost certain this woman in the closet is Edna Harlow. Here's her handbag, Mr. Keen. I look for a positive identification. Oh, I think I'm feeling ill. Where's the real estate agent, Mr. Dunlap? Right here, Mr. Keen. Oh, Mr. Dunlap, please take Mrs. Wicker into the next room and let us sit down. You come with me, ma'am. A murderer, right in this house, too. Well, here's a card the murdered woman was carrying, boss. Yeah, it's Edna Harlow, all right. We'll have to inform her sister Betsy. Call the police first, Mike. Then call our office and tell Betsy Harlow what's happened. Oh, that must be Henry Wicker, the other lady's husband. He said he was coming over. I'll answer the door, Mike. You handle those phone calls. Okay, sir. Are you Mr. Keen, sir? Yes. I'm Henry Wicker. My wife and I own this house. I, uh... I have some disturbing news for you, Mr. Wicker. Your tenant, Edna Harlow, has been murdered. Murdered? Here in this house? Yes. We found her body in a closet only a minute ago. Well, I can't believe it. Well, that superstition couldn't be a fact. What superstition? My wife's uncle, Amos Ridley, built this house two years ago. One of the workmen was accidentally killed by a falling block of plaster. And then there was a fatal automobile accident in the street outside just after my uncle moved in. Where is your uncle now, Mr. Wicker? He's dead, Mr. Keen. And that was another strange thing. How do you mean? He was swallowed up by quicksand in a deserted section about a mile from here. Quicksand? Yes. All that was found was his cane. I remember him saying before it happened that this house was bad luck. He was sorry he built it. Your uncle's body was never found? No, Mr. Keen. The area he was killed in is fenced in for a quarter of a mile. No one knows how deep the quicksand goes down. Only his walking stick was found. Hmm. I'll have a look at that spot, Mr. Wicker, after I report to the police about Edna Harlow's murder. Mr. Keen, do you think Miss Harlow was murdered by some thief who broke into the house? No, when my partner examined her purse for identification, I saw a small roll of bills still inside. Mr. Wicker, when did you and your wife first meet Edna Harlow? When she signed a lease for the house. She was a quiet woman who seemed to mind her own business. I see. Well, perhaps you'd better join your wife inside and wait here for the police. They'll undoubtedly want to question you. Very well, Mr. Keen. Well, the police will be over in five minutes, Mr. Keen. Sir, I couldn't reach Betsy Harlow, the murdered woman's sister. She must have left our office. She may be on her way over here. You know, Mike, this is one of the most baffling situations we've ever encountered. Edna Harlow apparently rented a house and paid for it with her life. But there's a tie-up somewhere. We've got to find it. What kind of a tie-up, boss? Well, Mike, the man who built this house, he is presumed to be dead. What happened to him, sir? According to the story, he became mired in some quicksand near here. His body was never recovered. And you think that had something to do with the murder of Edna Harlow here in this house? Well, I don't believe in superstitions and coincidences like this are rare. But some motive must link the death of Edna Harlow and the mysterious disappearance of Amos Ridley. And we're going to find out just what that motive is. In just a moment, we'll return to Mr. Keen and the quicksand of murder case. Meanwhile... Stop tooth decay and unpleasing breath. Yes, stop tooth decay and unpleasing breath that breeds between the teeth. Use colonel's toothpaste with dental floss action. Your dentist will tell you, brush your teeth after meals to stop decay. Clean those cracks and crevices deep between your teeth to guard against unpleasing breath.  That is, sends thousands of active cleansing bubbles to help dislodge bits of food that can cause unpleasing breath. What's more, foamy, refreshing colonel's brightened teeth by removing ordinary yellow surface stains helps stop tooth decay. Yes, colonel's toothpaste with dental floss action today. Now back to Mr. Keen and the quicksand of murder case. Mr. Keen, the famous investigator and his partner Mike Clancy have just found the body of Edna Hollow after having been asked by her sister Betsy to investigate the victim's mysterious disappearance. The body was found in a closet in the house Edna Hollow had recently rented from Henry and Alice Wicker, the owners. Now, several hours have passed, and Mike and Mr. Keen have found their way to a large area of quicksand fenced off from Passersby where Amos Ridley, an uncle of the Wickers and the man who built the house is believed to have perished two years ago. Here's the quicksand area, Mike. It's surrounded by a fence. There are several warning signs around it. I'm sure, and what would a man be doing poking around in a dangerous spot like this? Amos Ridley was supposed to have been rather eccentric. According to the story in the police files, he was thinking of buying this land and filling it in. He evidently made a fortune in real estate before his death. They believe he was mired in the quicksand while looking over the property. Well, with no clues in hand, I guess the police had to file the case as a mysterious disappearance. Yes, they couldn't dredge the quicksand, would have cost a fortune and taken months. So, when they discovered Amos Ridley's cane on the bank, they took it for granted, he'd been caught in that treacherous sand. Oh, don't go too close, Mr. Keen. I don't like the looks of that quicksand. You know, Mike, after finding the strangled body of Edna Harlow, who rented Amos Ridley's house from his niece and nephew, I'm almost convinced of one thing. What, boss? Her death came about because of Ridley's disappearance. She may have discovered something in the house, a clue, perhaps, and someone wanted to make certain that clue would never be known. Listen to that wind, Mr. Keen. The place gives me the creeps. It's like an empty graveyard, just waiting for some customs. Look it down, Mike. Someone shooting at us. Keep down, Mike. Whoever it was went through that clump of trees over there, Mr. Keen. There's no point in chasing. It's getting dark. However, I'm grateful to him or her. Grateful for being shot at? Faith in if I could get my hands in the buck-eyed shore migratitude. It's convinced me, Mike, that we're on the right track. The secret of Amos Ridley's disappearance and Edna Harlow's murder is back in that house. And we're going to find it now. Is that you, Mr. Keen? Yes. Boss, it's Betsy Harlow, the murdered woman's sister. Mr. Keen, I've just come from police headquarters. They called me at my apartment and told me that you'd found my sister Edna. Murder. I'm sorry to have such bad news for you, Miss Harlow. I still can't believe it. What could anyone have gained by killing? Or what's the meaning of it all? Perhaps we'll know before the night is over. I... I left your office before to go back to my own apartment. Then when the police phoned, I knew I'd find you here.  No. A real estate agent ain't Mr. Dunlap to let me in. He's inside making a phone call. Oh, he's the agent who rented the house to your sister. Mr.  And why? I have every intention of doing that myself, Miss Harlow, with your cooperation. Are there anything you say, Mr. Keen? Then leave here immediately. This house may not be a safe place to be in, and I don't want you around to complicate matters. What are you planning to do, Mr. Keen? Crap, a vicious murderer. Mike, it's getting dark outside. Take Miss Harlow to the corner and see if you can find her a cab. Okay, sir. Thank you again, Mr. Keen, for all your kindness and help.  We can certainly see that justice is done. Good night. Good night, Mr. Keen. I'd find a cab for you, Miss. Oh, Mr. Keen. Good evening, Mr. Dunlap. I didn't hear you coming to the house. Betsy Harlow told me you were making a phone call in here. Yes, I've been trying to contact my office. But I guess they're closed for the day. Did Mr. and Mrs. Wicker, the owners of the house, go to headquarters with the police? No, they went home, Mr. Keen, after you left here to visit that stretch of quicksand. By the way, did you find anything there that might be useful? Someone may have thought we did, Mr. Dunlap, because two shots were fired at us. No. See, this thing seems to get more and more dangerous, doesn't it? Well, I think I'll move along, Mr. Keen. Do you smoke cigars, Mr. Dunlap? Oh, yes. I wonder if you have one on you. I've run short. Oh, sure thing, Mr. Keen. Here you are. Thanks. What are you doing? Comparing this cigar with a cigar stub, I found a few hours ago in the upper hallway. The bends are identical. What about it? When were you last in this house, Mr. Dunlap? The day I showed the place to Edna Harlow. Now, look here, Mr. Keen. I may have dropped that cigar stub, but there's no reason for suspecting that I had anything to do with Edna Harlow's murder. How do you know I suspect you? Well, you've said so, didn't you? I only mentioned something about a cigar stub. You brought up the rest. Well, anyway, Mr. Keen, I think it's time I went home. Mr. Dunlap, before you go, I'm going to ask you to do something for me. What is it, Mr. Keen? You know Mr. and Mrs. Wicker's phone number, don't you? Yes. I want you to call and give one of them a message. Mr. Wicker or Mrs. Wicker? The first one who answers the telephone. What do I say? Just say that you found it, but you'll keep the secret if you're well paid. I found what, Mr. Keen? Never mind that now, Mr. Dunlap. Just do as I ask. You may discover that you're instrumental in breaking a very puzzling murder case and finding the killer. 10 o'clock, Mr. Keen. Yes, Mike, and maybe I was wrong and my scheme won't work. But we'll wait a little longer. It's a good thing we sent that real estate agent Dunlap home. Yes, but he came in handy, Mike. When he phoned the Wickers, he spoke to the maid. Neither of them had arrived home. We're coming in the door, Mike. We'll be spotted if the lights go on, Mr. Keen. I don't think they will. That was the closet door that opened, the big closet where we found Edna Harlow's body. Yes. Come on, Mike. Let's have your flashlight. Mr. Keen, the closet's empty.  Run your hands along the closet wall, Mike. There must be a secret panel here. Some kind of... Look, boss. The wall's sliding open. Stand where you are and don't move, or I'll shoot. I suggest you put the light on, Mr. Wicker. You won't be able to hide your identity any further. Save the preserves. We're in another room. Yes, Mike. A small secret room built in behind the closet. Evidently built by Henry Wicker here, the man who murdered Edna Harlow. You must admit it isn't a bad job, Keen. You never have found this room yourself. Perhaps not.  Boss, look. There's a big canvas bag in the corner. It looks like a... It undoubtedly is, Mike. Old Amos Ridley's body. The body of Mrs. Wicker's uncle. Would you like to see it? I'll be glad to show it to you. Open the bag, Mike. It's a body all right, boss. At least it was once. It looks to me as if it was treated with acid. But only if partly destroyed. Well, that just about puts together all the missing pieces in this murder puzzle. I'm glad I've been obliging enough to help you out, Keen. You murdered Amos Ridley months ago, Wicker. Then put his walking stick near that massive quicksand to make it appear as if his death was accidental. You tried to destroy his body with acid, but it didn't work. So you put it in this hidden room behind the closet. I built this room myself while Amos Ridley was out of town. It didn't take me long. Edna Harlow must have accidentally discovered this hidden room when she moved in here, Mike. She probably became frightened when the closet panel slid open. But she didn't get the chance to look any further. You murdered her, Wicker, but didn't have time to get rid of her body before we arrived to investigate. The closet panel jammed her. I'd have put her in there with Amos.  Wicker, you evidently don't have any more affection for your wife than you had for her uncle. Uncle Amos was rich. And he was kind enough to leave everything he had to my wife, Alice, and to me. Which is why you murdered him. My wife isn't clever enough to think up a plot like this. Or finish it, the way I intend to finish it. And just how are you going to finish it, Wicker? I have a car outside. And tonight I'm taking Amos' body and you and your partner here, or what's left of you, to that mire of quicksand. I'd have put Amos in there a long time ago. I was afraid they'd try to dredge the place and find his body with a bullet in it. But they won't think of the quicksand this time because I'll leave no trace of it. Mike, look. The canvas bag is moving. The bag is moving? I saw you, mister. That'll hold Wicker for a while, Mr. Keen. Sure, when you said that canvas bag moved, I was almost as startled as he was. But I managed to nail him when he turned his head. I tricked you, Mike. The canvas bag didn't move and it never will. Amos Ridley is dead and so is Edna Hollow. They were both innocent victims of this maniac Henry Wicker. But Wicker will pay for his crimes and he'll find that all of Amos Ridley's wealth isn't enough to make murder worthwhile. And so, Mr. Keen finds the solution to the quicksand burner case. The next time you're suffering from the pains of headache, neuritis, or neuralgia, try Allison.

Hi there, so this talk is about integration and contract testing and its potential for API development and maintenance My name is Don Roach. I'm a senior software engineer in American Greetings This light show I'm going to show is going to be on my website, so feel free to pick it up from there and I hope to also like give a link to it from my Twitter and that's my Twitter handle Feel free to go there and follow stuff So okay, so everything starts with story, right? The story is very simple We had this one team that you know was working on a zoo application let's say and So what they were bad monoliths and they said, okay, let's let's let's you know, let's change this we we know we need to We take a different approach for certain reasons who knows But the main thing is that they wanted to go with more with more modern architecture Micro-services, so they separated a separate out these Concerns and then they create these small API's and here there's a zoo API and there's an animal API and So the team had productive meetings. They discussed and nailed down the communication between these services was just requirements They did some documentation. They create these antenna tests to you know cover the you know have us and You know they went on to their merry way So the water life cycle looked like something like this So the land you never came in they sat down read some docs and how to do all their respective API for their team if you're on the zoo API team They'll be working on the zoo API team and they'll read Zoo API documentation And then they'll update the test if you're doing TDD Sometimes that's reverse but So they sort of something to test I write the code and they run the test So all was well Well things that something broke production and you know the zoo app failed as the keepers no longer knew which animals wouldn't brush pens You know tigers, they didn't know even if like how many tigers they had in the pen So that kind of went crazy and they needed to do a rollback of the deployments and you know, they went to a better state So, you know, let's let's go a little bit what happened So so it said like each each application and each API developer would you know, be more concentrated on their API so like Bob from here from zoo API would actually just concentrate on the zoo API He would only update his own test He would update his own code and he would run the test for his API And same thing with John. He worked on the animals API He only read the documents for the animals API and he ran the test for that and go to for that and whatnot So the change they actually found the error found is actually very very simple. Someone changed The status from no to false because it need more sense programmatically, right? Why would you use a no string instead of false string? So So, you know something broke And then they have a retrospective like every good, you know agile team They set down so okay, how can we avoid this in the future? So they talked about some good stuff they did for this, you know That could have avoided this problem and also talk about what can we do a little bit better? So some of the things they talked about is they say, okay, actually do have good documentation, right? We did we have extensive documentation here and then regarding the APIs, right? They had they did specify that they had good documentation for the APIs They said well, I actually write, you know, we write a test for the API So each API would actually have its own unit tests. We just read awesome We like to us and then they did talk about it and tests and they the kind of you know worried because intent tests only covered happy happy hats and there was a reason for that because basically then 10 tests take a long time and I'll get into that a little bit more But you know, that's that's the reason why they kind of limited all their intent tests to the happy hats Because if they include everything would take too much time And they said okay, we have good daily stand-ups, but you know, no one really talked about this change No one really communicated that so it got missed which happens And then some people said hey, we have code reviews. Why wasn't this caught in code views? Well, could use is actually not a tool for communication I mean it is a tool to review your code But it doesn't mean that you're documenting that check change It doesn't mean that you're actually communicating that out There might be someone that might have missed that could review especially large teams across multiple API teams Especially if you started with a solid that may get missed So no one actually caught the change which is you know, which happens So they thought about okay, what might be the possible solutions? So they went over a couple options here. They said, okay, let's write more intent tests I mean it doesn't make sense. I mean you might start right instead of getting only the happy hats You want to actually start you know and getting through these edge cases and writing those but again, you're you're talking about these long Taking Ted's test like they take a long time And I said as before I'll get more information get more into end-to-end tests later and then they said okay Let's do right more documentation. Let's actually you know add more stuff but the thing they notice that is that there actually documentation was almost like 200 pages long and Actually, it was a couple of levels deep So after a while like the a new dog product came in was actually missing some stuff They were actually have to drill down to all these you know Long written long-winded documentation about how an application works and you know things got missed So what still you know, it doesn't mean that they cannot write it clearer, right? So that was come came out retrospective and they said okay, let's do more meetings, right more meetings Definitely helps this all solution to all Well a lot of cries and no, please don't do that. We have enough meetings So that kind of that kind of die down that idea kind of got thrown out of the window So okay, so the question is okay. What what can we do? Well, how can we avoid this problem? And and so whatever solution that comes out Was decided that we need a solution of physical space communication for changes that will affect communication between the services, right? So any if the if the communication between the services changes we need to capture that as soon as possible And and they came up with three bullet points, right? Which should be captured with the solution the first one is misunderstandings from the consumer about endpoints or the payload The second thing is breaking changes from by the provider on the endpoints or payload and bugs in the consumer, right? So these are the three main things that we would like to capture a Solution that will capture only these with minimum effort would faster time time response, right? You don't want to lose too much time in your test. I want to you know fast feedback as soon as possible. So let's see, right? What can that be? so I Want to show you a little bit or you about on each test automation and this is actually belongs to Martin Feller He actually, you know those awesome writings. I definitely suggest you to read them and find them online He has cool stuff So I really like this graph because actually it does summarize the whole tests and what types of tests you can do So there's like unit test is very you know limited to these small components, so like repositories domain and you have your integration tests that actually include you know Some serve, you know, two two or three notes that you'd like to integrate and test, but please do know that Require both of them So you have your component tests. You cannot actually do this all the time You know, especially if your code is highly integrated. It was hard to separate out You know some of these components out, but you know still that's a decent solution to if you're if you wrote your code Let's smartly But then I really and then there's an end-to-end test that is like capturing all of the frame and includes all of these, right? However, your contract tests is like this small portion here, right? So what the contract test does is that it actually verifies Interaction at the boundary of an external service. Okay, so it doesn't require actually the live HDP client to be there It doesn't it's not you don't require a sub client or anything like that So it's pretty nasty In that way, so let's go over our requirements again, right? If it's only on that boundary, you can actually definitely capture misunderstandings from the consumer about end-to-end points and or payload Breaking changes by the provider on end points and payload and bugs in the consumer so actually that that That type of test would actually convert at all. So it's a it's a kind of good solution there I talked about some terminologies here It kind of might cause some confusion. It definitely cost for me when I first read about this So you have a consumer which is a component that initiates a HDP request to another component So it's actually initiator. We're not worried here about what type of methods being used It could be a get a post a put whatever But basically it's initiator of the of the request and then you have a provider A server that responds to an HP request from another component and then you have a contract Which I'm gonna, you know, talk about a little more and the contract is a collection of opinions between a client a consumer and the provider that describes the interactions that take place between them. So Let's okay, let's think about okay, how can we set up a Contract this test now we know some terminologies now We know basically, you know, what the boundaries of this test is going to be and what do we require for that, right? So we have two points right to two steps The first one is defined constructs on consumer expectations saying hey this consumer is going to require Law, you know data and given a main example and verify expectations on the provider Okay So there's a couple tools out there cool tool out there. I definitely I have links at the end that will put out there, but There's a cool tool that's been out there for some time called packs.io And they've been working on a Python version of this That you know is is pre-neat and uh, so big packs.io basically provides a mock service You know, it's a tool that guarantees why basically contracts are satisfied, right? Once you create the contract, you can you know, check that out And enables consumer-driven contract testing and providing mock servers and a DSL You can you know, and I'm gonna go over that a little bit more. So So this is a creating a five contract is actually the same steps that I just mentioned for creating a contract test Basically, you create a test on the consumer side that declares the expectations, right? We talked about expectations here So you'd find those expectations and then you create provider state that allows the contract to pass when replayed a game replayed against a provider Some I have some code examples here. Let's go over that very quickly So There's some code here, but the most important portion of course is this is this line here You're basically defining the the consumer and the provider objects here And so once you just define them you can Actually simply define a pact and and this is the parable DSL portion of this whole whole thing That you can say hey, you know, I have this packed with this given User AA exists and is not an administrator upon receiving a request for user AA With request gets, you know, the user's user a will respond with a 200 and body expected So you define the path the DSL packed here and So it's usually given given to define a setup criteria for the provider and And so basically you can you can actually create reports out of this and and this mock service You know, basically you send up this mock service and you can run your API to gain said it's pretty neat There's more examples in the links on my PowerPoint, which you can later check So But I'm going back to end to end testing. So again, a lot of people ask you will ask, you know, okay I actually have this Actually, I'm testing this right. I'm actually testing the end to end test Well, yes, you probably are testing a lot of the end to end Doing a lot of end to end testing actually maybe covering a lot of these use cases or Problems that might arise. But however, unlike contract, unlike contract, contract testing end to end testing requires all that box in your markup followers Image there actually requires everything there to be online or maybe Set up in some way right and stopped out some way And because that's why it's called end to end testing, right? So it requires a lot of time effort and maintenance to actually go through and set up an end to end test especially environment so So end to end test small also causes small bugs to actually hide behind bigger bugs So if you have an issue, you might not actually find the rest of the issues until you fix the one big issue there out there in the you know in your face And another thing is that intent to assign it are flaky and The thing is this unlike there's a lot of tools that actually make life better, but they're not all perfect So, you know, that's another problem with the end to end testing and it takes as I said before it takes a lot of time to run uh, so there's another tool out there called vcr pi and vcr pi allows you to actually record a You know it responds But the problem with With vcr pi is that you have to actually have both services Up and running, uh, so you have to have a provider You have to have a consumer and you have to actually, you know record those responses and then play replay them back It's pretty nifty. So don't get me wrong. And if you want to go this way, you can use it Uh, but with past actually you can't you don't actually need that consumer or provider to be online and ready You can actually start defining your contract early on and you actually can run your test against that contract So another nice thing about pact is that actually unlike vcr it actually gives you a Given a request for the return, right? There's a there's a nice almost like documentation That you can use and you know make sure you're reused in end So another thing is that you know With what you can actually with pact you can actually start with create these pact brokers that allows you to understand relationship between your microservices and That helps a lot, especially if you have like more than one resource like at least six seven, right after a while It gets kind of crazy. Uh, so this actually allows you to understand what's the relationship between between your microservices which is not available with bcr by And uh, so yeah, so there's things that people are saying. Okay. Hey, I have swagger I have I use open api and uh, I use all the specifications to test my api Well, you remember the first slide where you had two different teams working on their own little test So actually that's what was happening with them, right? They each one created their own little swagger api You know specifications and only tested it against against our own api. They didn't really Test the responses that would be expected or anything like that. Um, I mean, this is so good Definitely, uh, do continue if you're using swagger api. They definitely go Continuing it. Uh, but as I said before, you know, it doesn't actually cover all the problems that you might face Okay, so summary when you get out here, I just want to make sure that you have a couple points And then you you you uh, you remember these, uh, so First of all, if you do contract tests, solve all your problems And maybe if you do contract testing, you don't need any other testing. No, that's that's not it Definitely continue to do unit testing. Definitely do continue to do end-to-end testing Uh, you know each habits has this, you know uses use cases. Uh, however, contract testing is a Basically allows you to do very fast testing against your api or microservice and make sure that you know, uh, contracts are Contracts are satisfied, right making sure that when two teams are working on the same Different microservices, they don't break each other's stuff So, yeah So the benefits again are it's faster than each two end-to-end tests Verifies interactions at the boundary of external service You won't need both the provider and the consumer to be online. So you can actually have a like a quick, uh Into integration and pipeline where one one portion it does an contract test and you have faster feedback And that way, you know, maybe for maybe you can hook this up to a pool request Which is, you know, which might actually take less time. Uh, so And then the thing is this again this contract mentality can actually continue allow you to continue Allow ongoing or facility ongoing communication between solid little teams. So if you have a couple themes out there, uh, you're geographically or maybe because of you know requirements Uh, this this contracts in establishing this contract and sharing this contract from a single source will definitely help out facility that communication and make sure that, you know, people talk to each other. Um So, yeah, that's my time I think So I have some sources here as I said, uh, so these two last links are uh, martin from martin followers You know, uh, website. Definitely check it out. He has awesome information there, uh, and then I put out also, uh, like pacdial, python packed Links and also pat actually has a doctor image that you can just deploy and have his service up and running and Start running your api just against it. Um, thank you for your time And uh, if you want to talk, we can talk later as I know In 20 minutes sessions, we don't have q and a so Thank you very much


Hello again from Hotlum Camp in Northern California, very close to the Oregon border. We've had a very rough week of trying to figure out whether we could stay or go or had to go. And the air quality has been very bad with fires raging up and down. Many people have died. Many people have lost their homes. It's a very, very rough situation. And of course Camp Hotlum is here to teach us how to tend the forest, how to manage fire. And we need you now to step up and to join in this effort. For a couple of years now this has been in the works, in planning. There's still important infrastructure that needs to be here. But we know now that it's possible to restore the soils in here. We know that there are natural nursery systems with all the major types of indigenous and endemic plants. And we need to nurture and tend these and make sure that they respond and have the chance to grow. We have to work on fire management to reduce the enormous fuel loads. This can be done by teaching more and more people how to do controlled burns, prescribed burns that reduce the risk of wildfires destroying everything. This is how the native people maintained these forests for thousands of years. We need to honor them and learn from them and work with them because they're still here. So being out on the land, especially this mountain, it's also very, sometimes harsh here. It can be very dry, it can be cold in the winter, hard in the summer. The wind can be very strong. I'm well aware this land has been raped and has really suffered from humanities misuse. I tend to believe that it's also impacted the climate here. The people that live around here say there used to be much more snow, much more rainfall here. And I believe that comes from the 100 years of logging. The mycorrhizal relationship here has been disrupted due to bulldozing. So what we're going to look at is an area where due to bulldozing to access the lumber, they caused a tremendous amount of disruption. We have old stumps here, but we also have young stumps from about 23 years ago. And what we see is to access this, they built these piles. So we're going to be using these piles to do contour swales to try to retain more moisture, put this wood back under the ground so it can rot. And so I'm just exploring what's here. Part of it is that we have a lot of these blocks of lava. Well, maybe we can do something positive with these. The last folks that were here tried to plant, and they built some little perimeters around the trees they planted. But as you can see, the tree didn't survive. It needs a lot more nurturance. But in the meantime, we're just trying to figure out what to do with, you know, what we got. Work with locally available materials, work with the local plants, the local indigenous microorganisms. For me, having a relationship with the biosphere is the most important thing. And having that disconnection is really what has caused so much of the environmental destruction that we see.  And the replanting, which was a monocraft of ponderosa pine, it was not taken care of, wasn't watered. And so a lot of the trees died. And this area is in desperate need of restoration. First of all, for mitigating for fires, there's a lot of really big fires here in Northern California. And also, by restoring this ecosystem, we can actually combat climate change in a way that just reducing our emissions isn't going to allow. This is the first time that I've really felt hopeful that I can do something with my hands and with my expertise. It's been a privilege and an honor to spend the last five months here in Hotland and to get to know the animals and the plants and the insects and even to begin to understand the microbial communities, the fungal communities and to see how all of these life forms live and die here. And that over eternal time, constant infinite time, life unfolds. And this is where we all need to meditate. We all need to consider what this means and what we can do. And what Hotland is about is engaging more and more people in this effort. And it's going to require hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands and one camp will not be enough. And many camps are needed and everyone has a role to play. The people who have now lost their homes, the people who are homeless, the people who are failing in the existing economy, they can do restoration. We need to make that happen. If we live in privilege, if we have enough food, if we have the ability to study this and to work on this, we need to make it possible for everyone else to do it too. Because together we're strong. Alone there's only so much we can do as individuals. But together we can restore the earth. And when we restore the earth, we're going to have a better life. We're going to enjoy the beauty. We're going to absorb and marvel in awe, in wonder at the beauty and the synergy and the symbiotic nature of life. And we're going to understand death is part of life. And that while we're alive, we need to do what needs to be done. Not spend our time distracted and fleeing from what we need to understand. What we see here is a small ponderosa pine tree. And next to it is a mountain mahogany tree. What you see mainly though is manzanita and bitter brush. And then you see a huge amount of fire material, so fuel. So if this place burns, it's going to burn very hot. So this was left over from bulldozing and cuttings that they did over the years. This has been clear cut multiple times. And now in many places there's just exposed soils. And where you see these exposed soils, the temperatures are wildly elevated. So we need to lower the temperatures and absorb all the moisture. And we need to reduce the fuel loads. So there's a lot of work for a lot of people. And this is going to make their lives better and make the environment better and protect these huge forests. And by using this place to train, we can protect this place. But we can also make sure that hundreds and thousands of people can fan out. We can make multiple camps. One camp will not be enough. And we need to realize that we're normally getting in our cars and driving to stores. But what we need to do is walk down these paths. And if we walk down these paths and we understand what this means, then we're going to have a very different outcome than we're having at this time. And this is the future for this forest. And the future for the moisture coming off of the Pacific Ocean. And the future for ourselves and for future generations. So come and join us here. Help us with money, with physical materials to make this happen. We can work in the collective interests. We don't have to work only in our own self-interests. The person who dies with the most stuff does not win. And what we need to do is give everyone a chance, an opportunity to participate in this, the great work of our time. So come and walk down this path with me. I've been walking on this path for some time. There are other people. Paul Greenman has been here longer than anyone. Jonathan and Lauren are the instigators of this. And their choices in a crisis moment are helping to make this possible. So we're ready now to train hundreds and thousands of people in controlled burns during the rainy season, during the winter. And we can turn the tide, but it's going to take enormous efforts.


From Benway State comes the report that the Ministry of Health says it has activated a state multi-sectoral emergency operations center for following a risk assessment that placed the state at a very high risk of increased transmission within and beyond its borders. Commissioner for Health and Human Services Yama Otesse said these are the press conference in McCordy, the state capital. He also revealed that the dreaded Lassa fever has claimed a total of 13 lives in nine local government areas of Benway State. Otesse said the state's situation report of the current outbreak from 1 November 2023 to 2 March 2024 shows a total of 725 suspected cases, 55 confirmed cases with 13 deaths, two probable cases and a case fatality rate of 23.6 percent. Following a risk assessment that placed the state at a very high risk of increased Lassa fever transmission within and beyond its borders, Benway State Ministry of Health activated state multi-sectoral emergency operation center for Lassa fever. The state is also currently experiencing outbreaks of measles where we have 256 suspected cases and 31 confirmed cases across five local government areas of Buruku, Guay East, Guay West, Logo, Ushongo and Vanika. The state team has responded to the situation and our surveillance officers are following the following the events very closely.


another NARC Survivor Live video and this one is a special edition it's a Valentine's Day special happy Valentine's Day everyone I hope you all have a great day although of course that may be a challenge because I know many of you are dealing with narcissists and as many of you may know if you don't know well I can tell you now that on special occasions narcissists always act out they're always lucky to cause chaos and drama they're always lucky to cause problems for you to irritate and annoy you to make you angry or upset. Now let's talk about why that is Valentine's Day isn't much different to Christmas Day Thanksgiving or yours or someone else's birthday Valentine's Day isn't different to any of those days at least in the narcissist mind because there's one thing that all of these days have in common they promote togetherness cooperation being in harmony with one another love peace joy happiness if there's one thing that all of these days have in common it's all of those things and yeah those are all things that narcissists do not like the reason why they don't like those things is because they can't partake they can't participate they can't get involved in that because as we know they are dysfunctional they have issues with emotional stability they can't stabilize or regulate themselves they need other people to regulate their emotions so of course they have to lash out at someone and most often that is their nearest and dearest which is you you can expect to be the emotional tampon the emotional punching bag on Valentine's Day they will just start an argument for no reason and you'll be wondering what you did wrong they will always find a reason to argue with you on Valentine's Day but that may not always be the case sometimes they will give you the silent treatment they will ignore you they will ghost you and they will just seem like it's for no reason you may not know what's going on you may try to contact them you may try to fix things but it's like no matter what you do you can't change it because it has nothing to do with you it's just Valentine's Day promotes love peace happiness functionality which are all things that a narcissist cannot enjoy and yeah I'm sure you will have all noticed that with your narcissist is that they can't experience love they can't be intimate with you they can't develop a deeper connection it's always superficial and yeah but you may be thinking in your mind that you can't remember times when they try to make you jealous maybe it was with a friend a co-worker maybe you are you are at a restaurant and they would go out of their way to flirt with another person in front of you and it would make you think hold on a minute maybe they just can't be intimate with me but they can with everyone else no no that's not it it's fake everything you see this is all a part of the facade it's their false image which they may have shown to you in the beginning but once you start to figure them out then the mask came all the way off sometimes they may put the mask back on they may try to use it to manipulate you if they think you're still under their spell but on a day like Valentine's Day you can expect that mask to come all the way off they're always going to do something to mess it up they mess everything up doesn't matter what it is it could be your birthday Thanksgiving Christmas new year they have to screw it up because they don't like any kind of functionality and they may just tell you that for whatever reason they don't celebrate Valentine's Day it's not important to them remember it's all about them they're self absorbed of their lack of empathy they don't give a shit about you they don't care if it's important to you they don't care if you want it to be special that doesn't even cross their mind but in some cases if it does cross their mind they're just gonna use it to hurt you whatever they think hurts you they're gonna do that again and again they're always scanning the environment they're always looking to see how you react to certain things they've said or that other people have said or things that people have done they're always looking to see how you react to that and if it upsets you they're gonna do it again and again they're gonna keep using it to get a reaction out of you because when it all comes down to it all of these fucked up things that they do it's all just to get a reaction out of you that's all it is because that reaction fuels them it regulates their emotions it makes them feel like they're alive when in reality they're not alive at all they're dead inside they're nothing but an empty shell of who they used to be and deep down they know that that's why they created the false self in the first place so that they could feel something because even for a narcissist they know feeling something is better than feeling nothing they're doing everything they can to escape from that void within them and if they have to hurt you if they have to invalidate you gas like you they will do that if it will make them feel better because remember all they care about is themselves they don't care about you but you shouldn't worry don't worry if the narcissist ghosts you on Valentine's Day they discard you they start a fight with you if they cheat on you if they triangulate you with someone else they try and get you fired from your job whatever they try to do because even if they were nice and cooperative they try to make Valentine's Day special for you you should already know it's fake because yeah I mean they can't be intimate not really they can't develop a deep connection they can't attach to you and that's why you could never have a successful relationship with them they don't even want to attach to you they want you to attach to them well they remain detached so that they can just extract what they need from you and go in a go about what they want to do while leaving you holding on for them whenever they're ready to give you whatever breadcrumbs they're willing to give you because it's always bread crumbs with them it's never an equal exchange there's rarely any reciprocation I mean if you look back 99% of it was all you you were keeping it together you were keeping them alive and that's all it really was it was just a leech bottom feeder they were just leeching off you for their own survival there was no loving that they never loved you and of course when someone doesn't really love you it's that much easier for them to walk away especially when they didn't even invest anything into you you invested everything you had into them all of your time energy and money and you got back nothing in return so of course it's hard for you to walk away you gave everything you had because you weren't a genuine authentic person that's why you put in the work because you wanted something for real but they weren't about any of that it was all fake they lied they gave you false promises they future faked they acted like there was something real and you know what I think many of them deep down they wish they could be something real but not so much so they can build something with someone and do things for another person it's just still what about them just something they could further use as a manipulation tactic a narcissist will never care about anyone they will never love anyone not just you it doesn't matter who it is they don't even love themselves they act like they do they act arrogant and entitled but that's only to compensate for their true feelings because really they feel like they don't deserve anything in life because they know they haven't put the work in deep down they know they ain't nothing that's why they had to manipulate you they tricked you and they know fully well that they took the place of someone who could have been so much better for you they stole that position not only did they destroy things for you but they robbed a perfect opportunity from someone else who was looking for love and commitment and many people don't talk about that but it's true because if they didn't come into your life with the mask with their false image you still would have been alone you would have been single and that would have left the door open for someone better but they robbed that from you and they robbed that from the other person too it's like I've said before all of these things that they do all of these crazy things it's never isolated where it only affects you this has a knock-on effect it's a chain reaction of events and it affects a lot of people not just you it affects everyone you come into contact with that's how you know they have no concern no consideration for anyone because of course they know that and knowing that they would consider the effect of what they do to you and how that would affect other people that you come into contact with but they just don't care they don't care about anyone but themselves but that's carelessness that's what ultimately leads them to their demise because when you're going around without a care in the world you don't give a shit about anyone you're acting recklessly that way of life that lifestyle is gonna come back to hurt you at some point but this is what they don't realize they think they can just go wrong go go go around bombing everything and it's never gonna come back to get them but if they're burning bridges everywhere they're destroying everyone and everything where are they supposed to go in the end and who's gonna want to be with someone who has a history like that someone who's done all of these fucked up things I mean maybe you might make one mistake you might make two but this is like an endless cycle for them it just goes on and on and that's how you know that at some point the only person who would even desire to be with them is someone who is fully aware of what they're trying to do someone who is two steps ahead of them someone who is going to manipulate them and use them for their own selfish needs a narcissist and I think that in the end is their karma but yeah narcissists will be plotting to destroy your Valentine's Day you can be sure of that no matter how over or cover it may be they will be plotting to do something that's what they always do they can't stand special occasions because they can't partake they hate any form of functionality because they're dysfunctional and then it triggers them to reflect on just how dysfunctional they are how weird how not normal but yeah I mean the best thing you can do is just make this day about yourself pamper yourself take care of yourself go to a spa go for a walk in the park or just stay at home and have a hot bath with some scented candles just do little things for yourself today little things that make you feel good make Valentine's Day about you because after everything you've been through with the narcissist you deserve it so yeah happy Valentine's Day everyone 116 live viewers only 40 thumbs up please hit that thumbs up button down below and I'll catch you in another one very soon

Hello everyone, my name is Dr. Farhana Hassan and today's topic of discussion is role of MRI in perimenopausal bleeding and its correlation with TBS. UB is one of the most prevalent gynecological issues up to 30% of reproductive age women are affected because of it and up to 50% of perimenopausal women. It is defined as excessive bleeding that occurs outside of normal cyclic menstruation. ACOJ has adopted the palm coin classification to solve the issue of what exactly are the various causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. The palm stands for structural causes and coin stands for various other causes. Like palm is polypedinomyosis, leomyoma, malignancy and coin stands for coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial, pauses, itrogenic and unclassified. It is very important to judiciously evaluate the causes and ascertain whether it is benign or malignant because it is very crucial to determine the treatment strategy and the final clinical outcome. The aim of study is to assess the role of TBS and MRI in the characterization and to know the extent of lesions in perimenopausal bleeding and to compare the accuracy of TBS and MRI. To assess the diagnostic potential of TBS and MRI in terms of sensitivity and specificity, secondary objective is to know the most useful imaging modality of choice for the same. Now it's a prospective study hospital-bound referred to patients are taken that fulfill the criteria of inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria of all patients are not taken. Final confirmation was done by histopath examination and the color Doppler was also used. Inclusion criteria, the patients that were referred to the department of radio diagnosis for radiological evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding. Exclusion criteria, the pregnant women, unmarried ones, women having endocrine abnormalities and bleeding disorders, women with an intra-uterine device and C2. All patients in whom histopath reports couldn't be operated as a patient in an endocrine surgery. Now we have many age group patients but 40 to 49 year old patients were making the majority of our sample. Now presenting a print, most of women almost all had bleeding for vagina complain and then vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, weight loss, fever could also be another symptoms. Comorbidities, anemia was the most common abnormality, a comorbidity associated with these women. And then next one is hypertension. Let's discuss some pieces. The first case is 47 year old women having heavy uterine bleeding. On transvaginal sonography we get globular enlarged uterus with heterogeneous myometrium and indistinct junctional zone along with tiny myometriosis. Now on MRI it is showing enlarged uterus with thickened indometrial junctional zone and C2 hyperintense cysts in myometrium. On HPE it is shown as a diffuse adenomyosit. 54 year old women with irregular bleeding and weight loss. Now on TDS we get a lobulated hyperequic lesion with fluid in the indometrial cavity corresponding to a Doppler image is showing internal vascularity. On MRI it shows high iso intense mass in the indometrial cavity with hyper intense fluid surrounding it on T2 without invasion of the myometrium and showing restriction on DW image. Indometrial carcinoma on histopath examines. Case 3, 53 year old female presented with perimenopause of bleeding. On transvaginal sonography it depicts diffuse homogenous thickening of endometrium with a few tiny cystic areas. Diffuse endometrial thickening predominantly in the fundal region with tiny hyper intense areas within it on MRI. On histopath diagnosis we have simple endometrial hyperphesia. Case 4, 55 year old women presented with perimenopause of bleeding and pelvic pain. On PPS a well defined homogenous hyperequic lesion seen in the endometrial cavity with feeding vessel on corresponding Doppler. On MR also we have a well defined T1 iso T2 iso to hyper intense lesion in endometrial without restriction on DW images. Endometrial polyp for diagnosed on histopath examines. Case 5, 38 year old female with abnormal bleeding through vagina and pelvic pain. On TVS we get a well defined heterogeneously hyperequic lesion in the fundal region with minimal fluid surrounding it and showing peripheral vascularity. On MR we get a well defined lesion having intermediate signal intensity on T1 and low signal intensity on T2. In the fundal region of uterus with fluid surrounding it and no restriction on DW image. On histopath it is confirmed to be diomyroma. These are the typical features observed in various lesions on MRI as I have discussed with the cases. To conclude we have established that TVS has been the imagined modality of choice in the evaluation of EUB for the past few decades. However most of them provide ambiguous results. A total of 65 patients came to us, 52 undergone MR and HPE examination, 9 were lost to follow up and 4 got operated without MRI. So we have lots of findings to discuss and in our study the diffuse thickening of endometrium was found as a common cause of both benign and malignant etiology. Most of the cases having focally thickened endometrium was suspected as a polyp and focally endometrial hyperplasia in our study. In our study no malignancy was found with endometrial thickness of 10 mm. 30 cases displayed a heterogeneous endometrial ecotexture while 22 had homogenous endometrial ecotexture on TVS. On evaluation with TVS 13 had distended endometrial cavity, 3 had obliterated and the rest had a normal endometrial cavity and these findings were reassured on MRI. Now on TV, cystic changes were the most common ancillary finding in endometrial. Intralesional cysts were found in similar frequency on MRI. The presence of an intralesional cyst in endometrial pathology suggests the benign nature of lesions particularly endometrial hyperplasia and polyp. Calcification was second most ancillary finding on TVS and MR showed necrosis, hemorrhage, calcification, endometrial fluid as associated findings. On examination of the cervix with TVS only 6 had a cervical mass and out of these 1 with perimetrial invasion, 1 with adnexil involvement and 3 with bladder involvement. However MRI showed 9 cases with cervical lesions and most of them about 6 had a perimetrial invasion, about 5 had adnexil involvement and 7 had pelvic organ involvement. So MRI was found to be more efficient as compared to TVS in the detection of cervical masses and other pelvic organ involvement. And for lymph nodes also TVS failed to detect lymph node involvement while MRI can reveal lymph node metastasis quite a change. So most of the uterine lesions distributed were mainly fibroids and adenomyosis are quite common and then endometrial carcinoma. With the histopathological detection we have most common finding as endometrial carcinoma followed by adenomyosis and then fibroid. On comparison with the histopath examination MRI is quite useful in detection of endometrial carcinoma. It has almost equal to or more than efficiency in detecting endometrial carcinoma. Adenomyosis is quite efficiently diagnosed on TVS also. So the sensitivity and specificity sensitivity is quite comparable for TVS and MRI. But specificity is quite high for MRI and also accuracy. To conclude perimenopausal bleeding is commonly encountered in day to day practice and because it has such a huge impact on women's health early detection is crucial. With early detection alone it is possible to improve the survival rate. With sensitivity and specificity of 60 and 93.75% respectively for malignant uterine lesions TVS is a good primary imaging modality. But there are many false positive and there are many false negatives. So that can lead to unnecessary intervention and neglect neglecting serious disease respectively. With the sensitivity and specificity of 100% and 96.87% for MRI the diagnostic performance of MRI was better than TVS. Thank you.


Dozens of amphibious assault vehicles carry hundreds of Korean, Thai, and U.S. Marines ashore for a multilateral assault on a beach in Halyau, Thailand as part of Operation Cobra Gold 2012. Members of Bravo Company, battalion landing team 1-4, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, operate alongside their foreign counterparts in an effort to increase interoperability amongst allies. It's joint operations that we're not training them up on tactics or command and control or how to employ weapons systems. We're out here seeing if we can work together to execute an operation as a three company-wide mechanized assault onto a hostile beach if that would ever be necessary. The training helps the forces build camaraderie and bridge gaps in communication created by language barriers. Marine Sergeant Paul Robbins, Jr., Halyau, Thailand.
