Everything is Relative: Frances Elizabeth Mease Barrow (Aunt Fanny) and Sarah Leaming Barrow Holly (Aunt Fanny\u27s Daughter)
No full textFor more than forty years Frances Elizabeth Mease Barrow\u27s name – or, rather, that of her pseudonym, Aunt Fanny – remained before the public. In the 1850s and 1860s, she published five quirkily-titled series combining humor, moral instruction, and social awareness. By the 1870s and 1880s, her name was associated with children\u27s charities and with club activities and literary salons. When she died in 1894, one obituary characterized her both as an author whose children\u27s books delighted the grandfathers and grandmothers of the present day and as a social star, known to everybody as \u27Aunt Fanny.\u27 Yet even though her name appeared often in newspapers and periodicals (and still surfaces in accounts of her nephew, Stanford White) and her own family figured in some of her stories, much of Frances Elizabeth Mease Barrow\u27s history remains shadowy or contradictory, a situation compounded by repeated errors in reference sources. The biographical fragments that remain, combined with Fanny\u27s writings, make it possible to piece together a more detailed and accurate picture than has been previously assembled. The portrait that emerges is that of a talented woman filled with a love of -- and ready sympathy for -- children (her own and others\u27), who managed to parlay her writing skills and build social networks to overcome personal losses and economic challenges and to help others in need

Landlord-Tenant: A Lease of Residential Property Contains an Implied Warranty of Habitability and Fitness
No full textDiscusses Mease v. Fox, and the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision to discontinue its application of doctrine of caveat emptor, instead recognizing an implied warranty of habitability and fitness in an oral or written lease of residential property. The author states that, “hopefully, Texas will join Iowa in adopting the implied warranty theory. Such an action would conform the lease more closely to the actual expectations and needs of the modern landlord and tenant.

holoviz/spatialpandas: Version 0.4.3
No full textEnhancements:
Expands the optional arguments that can be passed to to_parquet, to_parquet_dask, read_parquet, read_parquet_dask ensuring that storage_options is appropriately passed where needed. (#79)
Add typing information to some functions.
Update build_sindex to pass through kwargs to underlying HilbertRtree implementation.
Change build_sindex methods to consistently return reference to object to allow for method chaining.
Bug fixes:
Update internal validate_coerce_filesystem to pass storage_options through. (#78)
Compatibility:
Adds the ability to pass storage_options to the to_parquet function for pandas > 1.2, otherwise instantiates an fsspec filesystem with storage_options and passes that.
Renames fname parameter to path to align with the pandas convention
Difficult-to-treat psoriatic arthritis (D2T PsA): a scoping literature review informing a GRAPPA research project.
No full textBACKGROUND: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a multifaceted condition with a broad spectrum of manifestations and a range of associated comorbidities. A notable segment of patients with PsA remains resistant to even advanced therapeutic interventions. This resistance stems from myriad causes, including inflammatory and non-inflammatory factors.
OBJECTIVES: To collate and critically assess the various definitions and criteria of difficult-to-treat (D2T PsA present in the literature.
METHODS: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, we conducted a scoping review in July 2023, searching PubMed, American College of Rheumatology Convergence 2022, European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology Congress 2023, Google Scholar and cited articles. Selection was made by two independent authors using Rayyan software, and conflicts were adjudicated by a third author. Eligibility criteria for PubMed focused on all article designs that were written in English, with full-text available, from the past decade, excluding only those not defining D2T PsA or targeting other populations.
RESULTS: From the 565 references sourced, 15 studies were analysed, revealing considerable variations in defining both \u27active disease\u27 and \u27resistant PsA\u27, which was most often termed \u27D2T\u27 PsA.
CONCLUSION: The definitions and criteria for D2T PsA and for \u27active disease\u27 are notably heterogeneous, with considerable variation across sources. The ongoing Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis initiative stands to bridge these definitional gaps and aims to provide guidance for clinicians and illuminate a path for pharmaceuticals and regulatory agencies to follow
