I don’t think that would be a very reliable solution. Often nurses have to futz with them to get them positioned to get a reading. I wouldn’t trust one to stay in position overnight.

These projects take not just time but a massive infusion of capital. This is where Jeanne-Claude comes in. Since 1970, the time of Valley Curtain, she has been president and treasurer of the CVJ Corporation, which has as its assets all the artist’s unsold works and receives all monies from their sale and is charged with all costs of a project. (Christo himself holds the humble title of assistant secretary and is paid a salary of $25,000 a year by the company, in return for which he has to produce enough drawings to finance each project.) Originally chartered in Illinois, the company is registered in other states as the projects require (in Florida, it was named the Surrounded Islands Corporation, because there already was a CVJ). Once a Christo project has its requisite approvals and is on the brink of its most capital-intensive stage, Jeanne-Claude sends out about a hundred letters offering “purchasing subscribers” the chance to buy drawings at a discount in exchange for cash; in the case of Surrounded Islands, subscribers had to make an up-front payment of $50,000 or more, for which they later received drawings at a 30 percent discount. The full price of a Christo work ranges from $10,000 for a 22-by-28-inch collage of a work-in-progress to $36,000 for a drawing eight feet across; prices for studies of completed projects are higher (in the case of Surrounded Islands, $14,000 and $45,000), because Christo produces no more drawings of a work after it has reached the execution stage. Over the years, Christo has sold primarily to four or five private dealers, most of them European, and directly to museums and collectors. The system apparently works so smoothly that this time Christo was able to qualify for an impressive $700,000 worth of loans from Citibank—not bad for a still-controversial contemporary artist, particularly considering that $500,000 of the total represents a standing line of credit that can be reactivated annually. “One important thing,” says Christo, “is that we’re working very much in a very simple way like any capitalist enterprise—only the most crazy thing, which everybody cannot understand, is that we’re not making any profit” (because all money is plowed into future projects). “In a way there is this enormous eccentricity who is highly individualistic and almost irresponsible in a way, which is what makes the projects so attractive.”

Americans are in love with fried foods. From fast food to fine dining, menus are packed full of deep-fried offerings. Whether you are an adventurous cook who likes to recreate or tweak meals you have tried elsewhere or you want to save a few bucks (and calories) by making your family’s favorite foods at home, a deep fryer is a terrific addition to kitchens with extra counter space.

molecule     An electrically neutral group of atoms that represents the smallest possible amount of a chemical compound. Molecules can be made of single types of atoms or of different types. For example, the oxygen in the air is made of two oxygen atoms (O2), but water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).

"It’s most likely a hamburger not a bacterial infection," is basically the message, says Dr. Paul O’Connor, renal physiologist in the MCG Department of Physiology at Augusta University and the study’s corresponding author.

Lorlatinib is administered orally once a day. Its approval was based on a nonrandomized, dose-ranging, activity-estimating phase 1/2 study, B7461001, where it was evaluated in patients with ALK-positive metastatic NSCLC who were previously treated with one or more ALK TKIs. Among 215 patients, the overall response rate was 48%.
