Plot[edit]
Part 1[edit]
The episode starts with Sarah Jane sneaking out of her home for "a traffic report meeting". With help from Mr Smith and K-9, Luke, Rani and Clyde find her in a restaurant with a man. As they are leaving, Clyde is puzzled by the sound of the TARDIS. Sarah Jane returns home and finds out that she was spied upon, but seems happy and announces that she is seeing a man, Peter Dalton, and that she has invited him to Bannerman Road.
Sarah Jane tells Luke that she is worried about what Peter might think about her adventures. Luke tells her not to worry and that she looks happy. After Sarah Jane leaves the room, Luke also hears the sound of the TARDIS. When Peter arrives at the Smiths' house, Sarah Jane tries to hide all evidence of her extraterrestrial adventures, but a parcel arrives containing an alien creature. Rani and Clyde, who were trying to see what Peter was like, take the parcel back to Rani's house. Peter arrives as Clyde and Rani leave, but Rani's mother runs across to also look at him. In the Chandras' house, Rani and Clyde see a multi-eyed slug-like creature burst out of the parcel; detecting the alien, K-9 leaves Sarah Jane's house to warn about the creature. Luke manages to explain K-9 away as a prototype toy. K-9 then joins Rani and Clyde in trying to catch the creature as Sarah Jane, Peter and Luke go for a meal. During the meal, Rani, Clyde and K-9 manage to bring the alien slug to the attic where Mr. Smith teleports it to its home planet, Polongus.
Two days later, Peter proposes to Sarah Jane, who accepts. He gives her an engagement ring, which glows red. Meanwhile, Rani and Clyde investigate Peter's home, which they find to be unoccupied. Back at the attic, Sarah Jane reveals to Luke, Rani and Clyde that she has agreed to marry Peter. Rani and Clyde tell Sarah Jane and Luke that they checked Peter's house and found it empty. The engagement ring glows again and rather than getting angry, Sarah Jane seems happy and explains that Peter has another flat in London, which she has visited many times. Mr. Smith detects an anomaly when the ring glows, but Sarah Jane orders Mr. Smith to deactivate.
When the wedding day arrives, Clyde still has his doubts, but Luke tells him to keep calm and not ruin the wedding, and asks him to help hide K-9. When Sarah Jane enters the hotel, Rani also hears the sound of the TARDIS engines. During the ceremony, when the registrar asks if there is any reason why the couple should not be wed, the Doctor bursts through the doors, demanding the wedding be stopped. As he warns Sarah Jane to step away from Peter, the Trickster appears and kidnaps Sarah Jane. The Doctor tries to save her but she, Peter and the Trickster disappear.
Part 2[edit]
As Luke, Clyde and Rani regain consciousness, the Doctor introduces himself, swiftly revealing that they and K-9 are the only people in the hotel, which now exists in a white void trapped at 15:23:23; the Trickster has literally trapped them in a second, cutting them off from the rest of the world... and, more importantly, cutting them off from the TARDIS, which cannot materialise properly. Using K-9's sensors and the sonic screwdriver, the Doctor is able to determine that Sarah Jane is trapped in another second, deducing that the Trickster has separated the group to prevent them helping Sarah Jane.
As Sarah Jane realises what has happened, she removes her engagement ring, realising that it has been influencing her actions. Peter protests that the 'angel' (The Trickster) told him that the ring would only ensure everything worked out at the wedding, and points out that Sarah Jane accepted his proposal on her own. As Peter explains that the Trickster came to him when he had an accident at home, offering him his life and the love he never had, the Trickster states that Sarah Jane and her allies will only to be returned to the real universe when she says "I do".
While attempting to find a way out of the hotel, the Doctor confronts the Trickster, revealing that he is the personification of the Pantheon of Discord; the Trickster reciprocates with his own knowledge of the Doctor and explaining that, with Sarah Jane's marriage marking the beginning of her new life, she will forget her old life of defending Earth, creating more chaos for the Trickster to feed on. The Trickster also remarks ominously to the Doctor that "The Gate is waiting for you!". As the TARDIS appears, attempting to 'lock on' to its pilot, the Doctor explains that they can use the artron energy that powers the TARDIS to fight the Trickster. But his attempt to help Luke, Rani and Clyde into the TARDIS fails, with the TARDIS and the Doctor being cut off from the hotel as the TARDIS dematerialises with the Doctor still inside. However, Clyde's attempts to enter the TARDIS result in him becoming temporarily charged with artron energy, allowing him to attack the Trickster.
With the Trickster's power momentarily disrupted by Clyde's attack, the Doctor is able to materialise the TARDIS in Sarah's second, telling her that there is only one way to end the Trickster's deal. As the Trickster and Clyde appear, both momentarily weakened by Clyde's attack, Sarah Jane tearfully informs Peter that the only way to stop the Trickster is for Peter to take back the deal, even though this will mean his death. Peter genuinely died in the accident, and is currently living a half-life that will only become real once he marries Sarah Jane. Though the Trickster claims that Peter is too weak to make that decision, Peter states that his love for Sarah Jane has strengthened him, ending the deal and returning the hotel to the moment before the Doctor's arrival, with Peter having vanished and nobody else but the heroes remembering anything about the presence of the Trickster or the Doctor.
As Sarah Jane later cries in the attic, she is joined by Luke, Rani and Clyde, who console her on her loss before the TARDIS materialises in the attic. After the Doctor allows the three children to look around the TARDIS, he departs once more, assuring Sarah Jane that she still has an incredible life ahead of her.
Continuity[edit]
The Travist Polong from Part 1 appears to be the same alien that Sarah Jane was chasing in the hospital during the events of The Mark of the Berserker.
Sarah Jane jokes about sending the Doctor a wedding invitation, asking if she should send it to Metebelis Three. Sarah Jane visited Metebelis Three with the Third Doctor in Planet of the Spiders.
Sarah Jane was previously controlled by a ring in The Hand of Fear, her last adventure with the Fourth Doctor.
Clyde states that Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is "back in Peru". He had just returned from a previous mission there in Enemy of the Bane, and was also described as being in South America in the 2008 Doctor Who episode "The Poison Sky". He also describes the Brigadier as being Sarah Jane's oldest friend. She first met both him and the Doctor in the first episode of the Third Doctor serial, The Time Warrior. It had been intended by the production team that Lethbridge-Stewart would indeed appear in the story and meet the Tenth Doctor, but actor Nicholas Courtney was recovering from a stroke and unable to take part.[3]
Clyde notes his concern that Peter Dalton is simply marrying Sarah Jane for the money "her aunt left her". Aunt Lavina Smith was a recurring unseen character during Sarah Jane's tenure with the Third and Fourth Doctors, and was depicted quite elderly in 1981's "A Girl's Best Friend". Sarah Jane described herself as being "all alone" in "Invasion of the Bane" and speaks of Aunt Lavina in the past-tense in The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith. Aunt Lavina is definitively dead in the 2002 Big Finish audio drama, Sarah Jane Smith: Comeback which states that Lavinia left her fortune to Sarah Jane, but the canonicity of that story is questionable.
No mention is made of the absence of Sarah Jane's foster brother / foster cousin, Brendan Richards, whom Aunt Lavina reared after Sarah Jane was grown. The two first met in person in "A Girl's Best Friend". The 2002 Big Finish audio drama, Sarah Jane Smith: Comeback states that Brendan is living in San Francisco, but the canonicity of that story is questionable.
When the Doctor calls his former companion "Sarah", Rani 'corrects' him, stating that she insists upon being addressed as "Sarah Jane". The Doctor responds that she never minded when he called her "Sarah", as the Fourth Doctor routinely addressed her as simply "Sarah" during her tenure on Doctor Who.[4]
The Trickster previously appeared in Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? and The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith; the Doctor refers to the Trickster in "Turn Left" in which the Time Beetle, one of the Trickster's Brigade, alters Donna Noble's timeline so that she never met the Doctor. The Trickster is also mentioned by Jack Harkness in the Torchwood: Miracle Day episode "Immortal Sins".
When the Doctor and the Trickster confront each other, the Trickster states that the Doctor once held the Key to Time. The Fourth Doctor assembled the Key in The Armageddon Factor, and the Fifth Doctor held the complete key in the audio drama The Chaos Pool.
The Trickster refers to the Doctor being like "fire and ice"; in "The Family of Blood", Timothy refers to the Doctor in the same manner. The Trickster tells the Doctor that "the Gate is waiting for [him]", foreshadowing the Immortality Gate in The End of Time.
Defeating the Trickster and correcting the timeline always requires someone to sacrifice his or her own life: Peter Dalton in this episode, Donna Noble in "Turn Left", Eddie and Barbara Smith in The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith, and Andrea Yates in Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?
The Doctor tells Luke, "Good to meet you in the flesh", and acknowledges that Luke helped him save Earth, in reference to their video conferences in "Journey's End".
When objecting to the children's attempts to ask the Doctor for a trip, Sarah Jane reminds Clyde and Rani about their confinement to Earth by the Judoon. In Prisoner of the Judoon, Clyde and Rani were given a mitigated sentence of confinement to Earth for interfering in the Judoon's pursuit of a Veil. The Doctor nevertheless briefly sends Clyde off-world in "Death of the Doctor".
The Doctor uses a football rattle to calm the kids down. He previously used a football rattle in the Fourth Doctor serial The Masque of Mandragora as a distraction technique.
In the concluding scenes, Sarah Jane and the Doctor each tell the other not to forget them: this same exchange took place in The Hand of Fear, as Sarah Jane left the TARDIS for the final time until The Five Doctors.
Sarah Jane and the Doctor meet next in Death of the Doctor, although before that they'll silently wave goodbyes to each other in The End of Time.
K-9 Mark IV explains how he is able to navigate the three-story Smith house when he announces "activating stair-negotiating hover mode." K-9 Mark III lacked hover ability, and Sarah Jane was shown lifting him into and out of her car's hatchback in "A Girl's Best Friend". K-9 Mark IV is later shown in "The Gift" to use his hover mode to exit Sarah Jane's car.
Sarah Jane's is one of two weddings of former companions the Doctor attends in late 2009; each is also attended by another former companion (in this case, K-9). The Doctor briefly visits Donna Noble's wedding to give her (through her grandfather, fellow companion Wilfred Mott) a winning lottery ticket. These, along with the wedding of companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams (also attended by "future companion" River Song) in "The Big Bang" show the Doctor at three weddings of companions in less than eight months.[5] Additionally, he saves the lives of newly-wed former companions Mickey Smith and Dr. Martha Jones, though it's not indicated in what year that occurred.
Cast notes[edit]
Zienia Merton had previously appeared as Ping Cho in the Doctor Who serial Marco Polo in 1963.
Nigel Havers had previously played Nick in the Eighth Doctor audio drama No More Lies.[6]
Nicholas Courtney was originally going to appear in this story as the Brigadier, but had to pull out for health reasons. The character is said to be stranded in Peru, which had been previously given as his whereabouts during The Sontaran Stratagem. Had Courtney appeared, this story would have been the only televised encounter between the Brigadier and the Tenth Doctor.

On the Billboard Hot 100, "The Power" managed to reach number two for one week, behind "Vision of Love" by Mariah Carey.[3] It is particularly known for its hook "I've got the power!"

Background[edit]
Written by Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti (under the pseudonyms Benito Benites and John "Virgo" Garrett III) and produced by Snap!, "The Power" was the group's third single. Featuring a rap by Turbo B and vocals by Penny Ford (lip-synced in the music video by Jackie Harris), the single became a massive international hit.
The song opens with the somewhat enigmatic line in Russian: "Американская фирма Transceptor Technology приступила к производству компьютеров «Персональный спутник»" (meaning "The American company Transceptor Technology has started production of the 'Personal Companion' computer"). "Personal Companion" was a computer-like device for the blind and visually impaired. Released in 1990, it was controlled by voice and could, among other functions, automatically download articles from USA Today by a built-in modem. It was made by Transceptor Technologies of Ann Arbor, Michigan.[4]
The song contains samples from "Let the Words Flow" by Chill Rob G, "Love's Gonna Get You" by Jocelyn Brown,[5] and "King Of The Beats" by Mantronix.
Power Jam was the first name under which German producers Michael Münzing (Benito Benites) and Luca Anzilotti (John Virgo Garrett III) were noticed for their 1990 Hit "The Power".
The first version of "The Power" was an amalgam of many samples. The beats were taken from Mantronix's "King Of The Beats Lesson #1" (from their 1990 album "This Should Move Ya"), the vocals were taken from "Let The Words Flow" by rapper Chill Rob G and from "Love's Gonna Get You" by Jocelyn Brown. The record became instantly popular in both Europe and North America. However, all of the samples used were unauthorized. In Germany, Arista Records had a deal with Stu Fine, former owner of Wild Pitch Records, but Arista did not have the same type of deal for a legal US release. Chill Rob G consented to a US release (which he thought could be lucrative) and consequently Arista Records was pressured to prepare the song for release in the US. Because it was not legally possible for Arista to simply reissue the European single, it was decided to re-record the entire track with new lyrics by rapper Durron Butler AKA Turbo B. and additional vocals by Penny Ford. The samples were then all legally cleared and the song was finally re-released under the new name Snap!, despite the fact that Jocelyn Brown had commenced legal action because of the unauthorized sampling of her vocals.[5]

Covers, samples and remixes[edit]
The song was covered in 2002 by German band H-Blockx. Turbo B featured in the song taking turns to rap lyrics with H-Blockx's then frontman Dave Gappa. Of note, Turbo B replaces the word 'Snap!' with 'H-blockx' in the line "If they are Snap! don't need the police to try to save them". The single charted at number 48 in Germany, number 51 in Austria and number 34 in Australia.[47]

Red blood cell distribution width
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Human red blood cells
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW or RDW-CV or RCDW and RDW-SD) is a measure of the range of variation of red blood cell (RBC) volume that is reported as part of a standard complete blood count. Usually red blood cells are a standard size of about 6-8 μm in diameter. Certain disorders, however, cause a significant variation in cell size. Higher RDW values indicate greater variation in size. Normal reference range of RDW-CV in human red blood cells is 11.5-14.5%.[1] If anemia is observed, RDW test results are often used together with mean corpuscular volume (MCV) results to determine the possible causes of the anemia. It is mainly used to differentiate an anemia of mixed causes from an anemia of a single cause.
Deficiencies of Vitamin B12 or folate produce a macrocytic anemia (large cell anemia) in which the RDW is elevated in roughly two-thirds of all cases. However, a varied size distribution of red blood cells is a hallmark of iron deficiency anemia, and as such shows an increased RDW in virtually all cases. In the case of both iron and B12 deficiencies, there will normally be a mix of both large cells and small cells, causing the RDW to be elevated. An elevated RDW (red blood cells of unequal sizes) is known as anisocytosis.[2]
An elevation in the RDW is not characteristic of all anemias. Anemia of chronic disease, hereditary spherocytosis, acute blood loss, aplastic anemia (anemia resulting from an inability of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells), and certain hereditary hemoglobinopathies (including some cases of thalassemia minor) may all present with a normal RDW.[3]

2.2 High RDW

Calculations[edit]
The "width" in RDW-CV is sometimes thought to be "misleading," since it in fact is a measure of deviation of the volume of RBCs, and not directly the diameter. However, "width" refers to the width of the volume curve (distribution width, here presented as the Coefficient of Variation, or CV), not the width of the cells. Thus, it is a reasonably accurate term.[4][5]
Mathematically, the RDW-CV is calculated with the following formula:
RDW-CV = (Standard deviation of MCV ÷ MCV) × 100.[6]
Pathological implications[edit]
Normal RDW[edit]
Anemia in the presence of a normal RDW may suggest thalassemia. A low Mentzer Index, calculated from CBC data [MCV/RBC < 13], may suggest this disorder but a hemoglobin electrophoresis would be diagnostic.
High RDW[edit]
Iron-deficiency anemia usually presents with high RDW and low MCV.
Folate- and vitamin B12-deficiency anemia usually present with high RDW and high MCV.
Mixed-deficiency (iron + B12 or folate) anemia usually presents with high RDW and variable MCV.
Recent hemorrhages typically present with high RDW and normal MCV.
A false high RDW reading can occur if EDTA anticoagulated blood is used instead of citrated blood. See Pseudothrombocytopenia.

Etymology[edit]
" Barely seven years after Edwin L. Drake drilled the world's first oil well in 1859 at Titusville, Pennsylvania, USA, history registered another exploration of the black liquid gold, in the largest continent. More than a century ago, history was made in a remote corner of Assam in the midst of the dense and malaria infested jungles, by a band of intrepid pioneers searching for black gold. In 1867 Italian Engineers, commissioned by the Assam Railways and Trading Company, to build a railway line from Dibrugarh to Margherita (Headquarters of Assam Railways and Trading Company) accidentally discovered oil at Digboi around 10 miles from Margherita. ‘Dig boy, dig’, shouted the English engineer, Mr W L Lake, elephants emerging out of the dense forest with oil stains on their feet".[2] This is possibly the most distilled – though fanciful – version of the legend explaining the siting and naming of Digboi. Two events separated by seven years have become fused, but although neither is likely to be provable, such evidence that does exist appears sufficiently detailed to be credible.
Various web sites offer variations on the elephant’s foot story, a consensus of which would be that engineers extending the Dibru-Sadiya railway line to Ledo for the Assam Railways and Trading Company (AR&TC) in 1882 were using elephants for haulage and noticed that the mud on one pachyderm’s feet smelled of oil. Retracing the trail of footprints, they found oil seeping to the surface. One of the engineers, the Englishman Willie Leova Lake, was an ‘oil enthusiast’ and persuaded the company to drill a well.
Oil India Ltd makes no reference to elephants’ feet in its company history,[3] although on its previous web site the company noted that Lake had noticed "the oil seepages around Borbhil". Once the project had been approved, Lake assembled equipment, boilers, and local labour, and engaged elephants to haul the machinery to the site. The first well was started in September 1889, but an encouraging first strike at 178 feet (54 m) turned out to be a small pocket, and drilling recommenced. This continued until November 1890 when the well was completed at a total depth of 662 feet (202 m), and it was during this extended period of drilling that Oil India's old web site placed the legend of Lake exhorting one or more of his labourers to "Dig, boy!"
Digboi as an oil town[edit]
It is said that the town gets its name from the phrase "dig-boy-dig," which is what the English told the labourers as they dug for crude oil. The town's history begins in 1867 when a small group of men from the Assam Railway and Trading Co. found their elephants' legs soaked in black mud, that smelt somewhat like oil. The men began exploring more, and in 1889, the English started a small oil installation. India (and Asia) obtained its first refinery in Digboi in the year 1901. Assam Oil Company was formed in 1899 to look after the running of the oil business in this area. The Digboi oil field produced close to 7,000 barrels per day (1,100 m3/d) of crude oil at its peak, which was during World War II. The field was pushed to produce the maximum amount of oil with little regard to reservoir management; as a result, production started to drop almost immediately after the war. The current production from the Digboi fields is about 240 barrels per day (38 m3/d). Over 1,000 wells have been drilled at Digboi – the first well in 1889 had stuck oil at 178 feet (54 m). In 1989, the Department of Posts, India came out with a stamp commemorating 100 years of the Digboi fields.
Today, though the crude production is not high, Digboi has the distinction of being India's oldest continuously producing oilfield. Digboi refinery, now a division of Indian Oil Corporation, had a capacity of about 0.65 MMTPA as of 2003.
Digboi is now Headquarter of Assam Oil Division of Indian Oil Corporation Limited. The Earliest recorded to the existence of oil in India is found in the memories and dispatches of the Army Officers who penetrated the jungles of Upper Assam since 1825. Lt. R. Wilcox, Major A. White, Capt. Francis Jenkins, Capt. P.S. Hanney—they all saw at different times petroleum exuding from banks of the Dihing River. Mr. C.A. Bruce (1828) and Mr. H.B. Medicott (1865) of the Geological Survey of India also saw oil while prospecting for coal in Upper Assam.
Mr. Goodenough of McKillop, Stewart & Co. Calcutta was the first in India to start a systematic programme of drilling for oil in November 1866, at Nahorpung about 30 miles (48 km) south east of Dibgoi, just seven years after the world's first commercial oil well was drilled in 1859, by Col Edwin L Drake in Pennsylvania, USA. This hand dug well—the first oil well in India—was drilled up to 102 feet (31 m) and proved dry. However the second well struck oil at Makum near Tinsukia, about 14 miles (23 km) from Digboi.
In 1939, there was a major labour union strike in the Refinery. The Gandhi Movement of Congress for Indian Independence struggle; backed by labour rights and equality status was headed by Sardar Amar Singh Marwah. The break of the World War II coincided with the Digboi labour strike resulted in harsh steps taken by the British Administrative offices to crush the strike. The Viceroy and the Governor had intervened to bring a settlement adopting sturdy steps were take to crush the union by shooting down of the president of the labour union to be followed by issuing orders of Quit Digboi, Quit Lakhimpur and finally Quit Assam to the leaders of the labour union.
Digboi Refinery[edit]

The Digboi Refinery modernization project was taken up in large scale in order to overcome the technological obsolescence of the old refinery. Subsequently, a number of other major projects were undertaken by Assam Oil Division to further revamp and modernise Digboi Refinery.Digboi refinery has been awarded the ISO-14001 and OHSMC certificate.
