Corona beer may be known as much for its "find your beach" tagline as it is for its iconic clear glass bottle, served with a wedge of lime.

Now the brand is branching out beyond the bottle, looking to boost its presence on draft in bars and restaurants.

After a limited test run, Crown Imports, a division of Constellation Brands, is making its Corona Light brand available on draft in an additional 35 U.S. markets, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Dallas, starting in March. The timing allows the brand to boost its draft presence in advance of the Cinco de Mayo holiday and the crucial summer selling season.

Tetra Images | Getty Images

"We've actually seen in all the markets where we do have draft, our business increases about 12 percent overall versus markets where we don't have draft," said Jim Sabia, chief marketing officer at Crown Imports. "So we're excited for what Corona Light draft does to our overall business in building our consumer franchise."

During its limited rollout, Crown watched carefully to make sure the Corona Light draft option didn't hurt bottle sales. What the company found was a halo effect, which carried over from draft on-premise at bars and restaurants to off-premise stores. "We're seeing a very traditional beer experience with consumers going into the bar, sampling the product on draft, and then seeing it off-premise and making a purchase," said Sabia. (Read more: New marijuana laws get brewers buzzing) While the off-premise boost is important, the real opportunity lies in growing the draft presence of the Crown Imports portfolio, which in addition to the Corona brand, includes the Modelo, Pacifico and Victoria brands, among others. According to company officials, draft sales currently account for less than 2 percent of the Crown portfolio's overall sales, versus the industry average of 10 percent.

Lesson: Introduction to Draft Beer

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of draft beer and its popularity in bars and restaurants.

**Materials:** None

**Introduction:** Draft beer is beer that is served directly from a keg or cask without any additional processing. It has been popular in bars and restaurants for many years because it is fresher than bottled beer and has a better taste. In this lesson, we will learn about the history of draft beer, how it is made, and why it is popular.

**Section 1: History of Draft Beer**

Draft beer has a long history dating back to ancient times. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all had their own versions of draft beer. However, it was not until the 19th century that draft beer became popular in bars and restaurants. This was due to the invention of the beer pump, which made it easier to serve beer from a cask.

**Section 2: How Draft Beer is Made**

Draft beer is made by brewing beer and then serving it directly from a keg or cask. The beer is stored in a keg or cask until it is ready to be served. When the beer is ready to be served, a tap is used to pour the beer into a glass. The beer is then carbonated by adding carbon dioxide gas to it.

**Section 3: Why Draft Beer is Popular**

There are several reasons why draft beer is popular in bars and restaurants. Firstly, draft beer is fresher than bottled beer because it does not spend time in a bottling plant. Secondly, draft beer is served at a consistent temperature, which makes it taste better. Finally, draft beer is often cheaper than bottled beer because there are no packaging costs.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's look at an example of how draft beer is served in a bar. When you order a draft beer, the bartender will use a tap to pour the beer from a keg or cask into a glass. The beer will then be carbonated by adding carbon dioxide gas to it. The bartender may also add a wedge of lime or lemon to the glass to add flavor to the beer.

**Glossary:**

- Keg: A container used to store draft beer
- Cask: A container used to store draft beer
- Tap: A device used to pour draft beer from a keg or cask
- Carbonated: A process where carbon dioxide gas is added to draft beer to make it fizzy

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned about the history of draft beer, how it is made, and why it is popular. We also looked at some practical examples of how draft beer is served in bars and restaurants. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of what draft beer is and why it is such a popular choice in bars and restaurants.

Q:

Find the farthest sum of two elements from zero in an array

Given an array, what is the most time- and space-efficient algorithm to find the sum of two elements farthest from zero in that array?
Edit
For example, [1, -1, 3, 6, -10] has the farthest sum equal to -11 which is equal to (-1)+(-10).

A:

Using a tournament comparison method to find the largest and second largest elements uses the fewest comparisons, in total n+log(n)-2. Do this twice, once to find the largest and second largest elements, say Z and Y, and again to find the smallest and second smallest elements, say A and B. Then the answer is either Z+Y or -A-B, so one more comparison solves the problem. Overall, this takes 2n+2log(n)-3 comparisons. This is still O(n), but in practice is faster than scanning the entire list 4 times to find A,B,Y,Z (in total uses 4n-5 comparisons).
The tournament method is nicely explained with pictures and sample code in these two tutorials: one and two

# Lesson: Finding the Farthest Sum of Two Elements from Zero in an Array

## Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the sum of two elements farthest from zero in an array using a tournament comparison method. We will start by understanding the problem statement, followed by the algorithm, and finally, we will solve some examples to test our understanding.

## Problem Statement

Given an array, what is the most time- and space-efficient algorithm to find the sum of two elements farthest from zero in that array?

For example, [1, -1, 3, 6, -10] has the farthest sum equal to -11 which is equal to (-1)+(-10).

## Algorithm

Using a tournament comparison method to find the largest and second largest elements uses the fewest comparisons, in total n+log(n)-2. Do this twice, once to find the largest and second largest elements, say Z and Y, and again to find the smallest and second smallest elements, say A and B. Then the answer is either Z+Y or -A-B, so one more comparison solves the problem. Overall, this takes 2n+2log(n)-3 comparisons. This is still O(n), but in practice is faster than scanning the entire list 4 times to find A,B,Y,Z (in total uses 4n-5 comparisons).

The tournament method is nicely explained with pictures and sample code in these two tutorials: one and two

## Example

Let's take the following example array: [2, 3, -1, 5, -8]

Step 1: Find the largest and second largest elements, Z and Y
- Compare 2 and 3, 3 is larger, so Z = 3 and Y = 2
- Compare 3 and -1, -1 is larger, so Z = -1 and Y = 3
- Compare -1 and 5, 5 is larger, so Z = 5 and Y = -1
- Compare 5 and -8, -8 is larger, so Z = -8 and Y = 5

Step 2: Find the smallest and second smallest elements, A and B
- Compare 2 and 3, 3 is smaller, so A = 2 and B = 3
- Compare 3 and -1, -1 is smaller, so A = -1 and B = 3
- Compare -1 and 5, 5 is smaller, so A = -1 and B = 5
- Compare 5 and -8, -8 is smaller, so A = 5 and B = -8

Step 3: Calculate the sum of Z and Y, or -A and B
- Since Z and Y are both positive, the answer is Z + Y = 3 + 2 = 5
- Since A and B are both negative, the answer is -A - B = -2 - 3 = -5

In this case, the sum of two elements farthest from zero in the array [2, 3, -1, 5, -8] is -5.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned how to find the sum of two elements farthest from zero in an array using a tournament comparison method. We covered the problem statement, algorithm, and solved some examples to test our understanding. By applying this algorithm, we can efficiently find the sum of two elements farthest from zero in any given array.

Urinary steroid profiling in diagnostic evaluation of an unusual adrenal mass.
Adrenal oncocytomas are rare tumours, with only approximately 160 cases reported in the literature. We report the use of urinary steroid profiling as part of their diagnostic evaluation and prognostication. A 45-year-old woman presented with clinical features of hyperandrogenism. Serum biochemistry confirmed androgen excess and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 3.2 cm adrenal tumour with density 39 HU pre-contrast. Urine steroid profiling showed elevated tetrahydro-11 deoxycortisol (THS), which is associated with adrenal malignancy. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed, and histopathology diagnosed adrenal oncocytoma. Serum and urinary biochemistry resolved post-operatively and remained normal at 1-year follow-up. Differential diagnosis of adrenal masses is challenging. Current techniques for differentiating between tumour types lack sensitivity and specificity. 24-h urinary steroid profiling is a useful tool for reflecting steroid output from adrenal glands. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of urinary steroid metabolites has sensitivity and specificity of 90% for diagnosing adrenocortical carcinoma. Adrenal oncocytoma are rare tumours. Differentiating between benign and malignant types is difficult. Data guiding prognostication and management are sparse.

Lesson: Introduction to Diagnostic Evaluation in Medicine

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Diagnostic evaluation is the process of identifying the cause of a patient's symptoms or determining the presence or absence of a particular disease or condition. This can involve a variety of tests and procedures, including imaging studies, blood tests, and biopsies. In this lesson, we will focus on the use of urinary steroid profiling in the diagnostic evaluation of an unusual adrenal mass.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Urinary steroid profiling is a test that measures the levels of certain steroid hormones in a patient's urine. This test can be used to help diagnose conditions such as hyperandrogenism, which is characterized by excessive levels of male sex hormones in the body. In the case study we will be discussing, a patient presented with clinical features of hyperandrogenism, and urinary steroid profiling played a crucial role in the diagnostic evaluation of her condition.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

In this case study, a 45-year-old woman presented with clinical features of hyperandrogenism, which includes symptoms such as increased facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, and acne. Serum biochemistry confirmed androgen excess, and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 3.2 cm adrenal tumour with density 39 HU pre-contrast. Urine steroid profiling showed elevated tetrahydro-11 deoxycortisol (THS), which is associated with adrenal malignancy. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed, and histopathology diagnosed adrenal oncocytoma. Serum and urinary biochemistry resolved post-operatively and remained normal at 1-year follow-up.

Young should take real risks before fighting for democracy

Share

You know why we are always rounding on our government? It's not just because it's undemocratic. Are we unfree and oppressed? Actually, we are freer and richer than most full democracies.

What we don't admit is that we have come to rely too much on the government and expect it to fix every problem for us, right now! That's the sense of entitlement and instant gratification of the iPhone-pan-democrat generation. Parallel traders blocking MTR traffic? It's the government's fault. The economy taking a dive? Also its fault. No milk powder? The government's fault. Flats too expensive … Everything is the stupid government's responsibility and therefore it can never do anything right. The more activist a government, the less likely it will get many things right.

This, by the way, is why many people have this terribly mistaken notion that the colonial Brits were superior governors. I lived at least 25 years of my life under their rule and I can tell you they weren't all that competent. They were, however, far less responsive to popular demands. When your subjects had low expectations of you, it was easy to meet them.

Native entrepreneurship was what made Hong Kong great. Its disappearance will spell the city's decline. Because you couldn't rely on the Brits to take care of you, you had to take care of yourself. That was how Hong Kong got rich - entrepreneurship - thanks to enterprising Chinese, Indian, Pakistani and other risk-takers.

Today, the word entrepreneurship is conspicuously absent in public discourse. In its place, democracy has taken hold. Yet I don't know any truly freer person than an entrepreneur, who is in control of her own destiny.

Instead of starting a business in a burst of entrepreneurial creativity à la Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg, many young people either want to join big corporations or the government on a fast track to senior management - and/or protest for democracy. What they all have in common is that they take no risk. Our young democracy fighters may fantasise about June 4, but no PLA tanks will ever run over them.

Young man and woman, take real risks! Travel the world, read widely, strike out on your own, start a business (in another city with low rents). Then come back and fight for democracy.

Acute oral toxicity study of pyridostigmine bromide, permethrin, and DEET in the laboratory rat.
This study investigated the lethal interaction of pyridostigmine bromide (PB), permethrin, and DEET when given to adult male rats by gavage and was separated into two phases. Phase I determined the acute oral lethal dose-response relationship of each compound with the vehicle, propylene glycol. Phase II was divided into two portions: a dose-response study using probit units obtained from phase I [lethal dose (LD) 16, 30, 50, 70, and 84], and an interaction study that contained low levels (calculated LD16, additive LD32) of the two compounds while the concentration of the third compound was varied. Rats were fasted overnight, dosed, and observed for 14 d. A significant increase in lethality occurred when PB, permethrin, and DEET were given concurrently when compared to expected additive values. Furthermore, solutions containing PB and permethrin or PB and DEET also caused a significant increase in lethality when compared to expected additive values. This information suggests that lethality in this study was more than an additive effect.

Lesson: How to Choose a Quality Painting Service

Introduction:

Choosing a painting service can be a daunting task. However, by understanding the importance of quality workmanship, materials, and customer service, you can make an informed decision that will ensure your satisfaction for years to come. In this lesson, we will explore the key factors to consider when selecting a painting service, including the company's reputation, experience, and pricing. We will also discuss the importance of a detailed contract and warranty, as well as the role of communication in ensuring a successful project. By the end of this lesson, you will have the knowledge and tools necessary to choose a quality painting service that meets your needs and expectations.

Section 1: Researching Potential Companies

Before selecting a painting service, it is essential to research potential companies thoroughly. Start by asking for referrals from friends, family members, or colleagues who have had positive experiences with painting services. You can also search online review sites such as Yelp or Angie's List to read customer reviews and ratings. Be sure to look for patterns in the feedback, such as recurring complaints or praises, as these can give you insight into the company's strengths and weaknesses.

Once you have identified a few potential companies, check their websites or call their offices to gather more information. Look for details such as the company's history, services offered, and areas served. Pay attention to whether the company provides clear information about its pricing, timeline, and warranty. A reputable company will be transparent about its processes and policies, making it easier for you to make an informed decision.

Section 2: Evaluating Reputation and Experience

After gathering initial information about potential companies, take the time to evaluate their reputations and experience levels. Begin by checking for any complaints or legal actions against the companies with your local Better Business Bureau or attorney general's office. If the company has been sued or has a pattern of dissatisfied customers, this could be a red flag.

Next, ask for references from recent customers and follow up by calling or visiting the homes or businesses where the company has completed projects. Ask the customers about their experiences, including the quality of the work, the company's communication, and how long the project took. If possible, try to see photos of the completed work.

Finally, consider the company's experience in the industry. A long-established company may have more expertise and knowledge than a newer one. However, a newer company may also bring innovative ideas and techniques to the table. Be sure to ask about the company's training methods, certifications, and insurance coverage.

Section 3: Comparing Prices and Contracts

Price is an important factor to consider when choosing a painting service. However, it should not be the only factor. Be wary of companies that offer significantly lower prices than their competitors, as this may indicate poor quality or hidden costs. Instead, focus on comparing apples to apples by requesting itemized estimates from each company. Make sure the estimates include all necessary materials, labor, and any additional costs such as permits or disposal fees.

Once you have compared the estimates, review the contracts carefully. A detailed contract should outline the scope of work, timeline, and payment schedule. It should also include information about the company's warranty, including what is covered and for how long. Be sure to ask about any additional fees that may be charged if the scope of work changes or if the project takes longer than anticipated.

Section 4: Communication and Customer Service

Good communication and customer service are essential components of a successful painting project. Before signing a contract, ask the company about its communication process, including how often you can expect updates and how issues or concerns will be addressed. Be sure to ask about the company's policy on changes to the original plan and how these will be handled.

During the project, stay in touch with the company to ensure that everything is progressing as planned. If you have any concerns or questions, be sure to voice them promptly. A reputable company will be responsive and proactive in addressing any issues that arise.

Conclusion:

Choosing a quality painting service is an important decision that can impact the appearance and value of your home or business. By researching potential companies, evaluating their reputations and experience, comparing prices and contracts, and considering communication and customer service, you can make an informed decision that will result in a successful project. Remember, a quality painting service will provide excellent workmanship, materials, and customer service, ensuring your satisfaction for years to come.
