The Snelling Sevens was an annual Welsh Rugby Union sevens competition that ran from 1954 until 1995. The tournament was inaugurated in 1954 and the trophy presented by the Chairman of Newport Athletic Club, Reg Snelling, after whom the competition is named; the competition took place over a single day, was a straightforward knockout tournament between 16 teams, with the initial draw taking place prior to the match day. The teams invited were the premier South Wales teams, but if a team was on tour at the time clubs were invited from other areas, including English teams such as Leicester and Bath. Ebbw Vale won the tournament in 1958; the squad included G Powell, M Williams, F Matthews, R Morgan, D Ackerman, D Barrett, R Evans, K Cameron, J Pugh. 1967 saw the introduction of the Bill Everson Award for the Man of the Tournament Trophy. In 1979, the competition changed format from a purely knockout tournament to a pool system with four groups of four teams followed by knockout rounds. Despite the competition's popularity from the 1950s to the 1970s, crowds diminished from 50,000 at its peak to around 5,000 by the 1980s and early 1990s.
In 1995, the competition was renamed as the "Worthington Sevens", but it was decided that, due to the congested timetables of the clubs involved, the tournament should cease to be held. The trophy was awarded permanently to Newport as the most successful club in the competition's history. Official site of the Snelling Seven-A-Side Tournament
The Prussian House of Lords in Berlin was the upper house of the Preußischer Landtag, the parliament of Prussia from 1850 to 1918. Together with the lower house, the House of Representatives, it formed the Prussian bicameral legislature. Modeled on the House of Lords of the United Kingdom, the Herrenhaus was created following the 1848 revolution with the adoption of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Prussia imposed by King Frederick William IV on 31 January 1850. A member of the House of Lords was known as a pair, or as a member of the Prussian House of Lords; the House consisted of hereditary peers, life peers appointed by the King of Prussia, peers by virtue of position, representatives of cities and universities, etc. The majority of members were nobles, although the House had commoners as members among the representatives of cities and universities; the breakdown was as follows: Princes of the royal house of Hohenzollern who had reached their majority Members with hereditary right: The head of the princely house of Hohenzollern The heads of the former German states of the Holy Roman Empire in royal Prussian lands—these were mediatized princely houses, such as Arenberg, Bentheim-Steinfurt, Croÿ, Salm-Horstmar, Salm-Salm, Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein, Solms-Hohensolms-Lich, Solms-Rödelheim-Assenheim, Stolberg-Wernigerode, Wied.
Other members with hereditary right—these were princes and counts from lands annexed by Prussia over the centuries, such as the duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Counts of Westphalen, the landgrave of Hessen-Philippsthal. Life members: Holders of the four great court appointments of the kingdom—these were the state steward, the chancellor, the lord marshal, the lord burgrave. Members entrusted by the king—these were both nobles and commoners, included select generals and admirals, senior government officials, business leaders, philanthropists. Members called by presentation—these were holders of noble estates, the university representatives, the lord mayors of cities given the right of presentation. With the German Revolution of 1918–1919 and the fall of the Hohenzollern monarchy resulting from World War I, the Prussian House of Lords was dissolved by the government of Minister President Paul Hirsch. According to the 1920 constitution of the Free State of Prussia it was replaced by the Staatsrat of representatives delegated by the Landtag assemblies of the Provinces.
The Cologne mayor Konrad Adenauer served as president of the state council from 1921 until the Nazi Machtergreifung in 1933. Starting in 1856, the House of Lords met at a Baroque city palace on Leipziger Straße No. 3, near Leipziger Platz owned by the merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky and seat of the Royal Porcelain Factory from 1763. It had been acquired by Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy, father of Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, in 1825. In the summer of 1826, young Felix Mendelssohn wrote his A Midsummer Night's Dream overture, which premiered at his father's house. After the Prussian state had purchased the building in 1856, it served for the meetings of the Reichstag of the North German Federation from 1867 to 1870. Upon German unification in 1871, the neighbouring building on Leipziger Straße No. 4 was rebuilt as the seat of the Reichstag of the German Empire, before it moved into the new Reichstag building in 1894. Both the Leipziger Str. No. 3 and 4 buildings were demolished in 1898 to make space for a new building for the House of Lords.
The Neo-Renaissance Herrenhaus building, designed by the architect Friedrich Schulze, was completed in 1904. Schulze had had built the adjacent Abgeordnetenhaus on Prinz-Albrecht-Straße from 1892 to 1898. Both structures were connected by a common functional wing in the rear, which allowed deputies to move between both chambers. Since 1993, the Abgeordnetenhaus building is the seat of the Berlin state parliament. Seat of the Prussian state council from 1921 to 1933, the former Herrenhaus building from 1933 served for Hermann Göring's Preußenhaus foundation; the former debating chamber saw the inauguration of the People's Court in 1934 and with the erection of neighbouring Ministry of Aviation the next year it was refurbished as the prestigious Haus der Flieger lobby of Göring's headquarters. Damaged by Allied bombing and the Battle of Berlin, the building was restored after the war and from 1946 served for the East German Academy of Sciences. Since 2000, it is again the site of the parliamentary sessions of the Federal Council of Germany.

Alcoholic ketoacidosis is a specific group of symptoms and metabolic state related to alcohol use. Symptoms include abdominal pain, agitation, a fast respiratory rate, a specific "fruity" smell. Consciousness is normal. Complications may include sudden death. AKA most occurs in long term alcoholics and less in those who binge drink. Onset is after a decreased ability to eat for a few days. Diagnosis is based on symptoms. Blood sugar levels are normally or only mildly increased. Other conditions that may present include other causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis including diabetic ketoacidosis. Treatment is with intravenous normal saline and intravenous sugar solution. Thiamine and measures to prevent alcohol withdrawal are recommended. Treatment of low blood potassium may be required; those who are affected are most between the ages of 20 and 60. The condition was recognized in 1940 and named in 1971. Nausea and abdominal pain are present and people may have tachypnea and hypotension. In contrast to diabetic ketoacidosis, people with alcoholic ketoacidosis are alert and lucid despite the severity of the acidosis.
Alcoholic ketoacidosis is caused by complex physiology, the result of prolonged and heavy alcohol intake in the setting of poor nutrition. Chronic alcohol use can cause depleted hepatic glycogen stores and ethanol metabolism further impairs gluconeogenesis; this can reduce glucose availability and lead to hypoglycemia and increased reliance on fatty acid and ketone metabolism. An additional stressor such as vomiting or dehydration can cause an increase in counterregulatory hormones such as glucagon and growth hormone which may further increase free fatty acid release and ketone production. Ethanol metabolism can increase blood lactic acid levels which may contribute to a metabolic acidosis. Diagnosis is based on symptoms. A elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis and ketosis is the classic present. However, a mixed acid-base disorder may be present if vomiting is contributing to a hypochloremic alkalosis; the ketone, present is beta-hydroxybutryate rather than acetoacetate resulting in only a weakly positive nitroprusside test.
People do not present with high blood sugar or sugar in the urine. This can cause false negative results. Ethanol level are low or negative despite a chronic alcohol use history. Electrolyte disturbances may include hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia may be present. Other conditions that may present include other causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis such as diabetic ketoacidosis, toxic alcohol ingestion, starvation ketosis. Toxic alcohol ingestion include ethylene glycol poisoning. Pancreatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, gastritis may result in similar symptoms; the ratio of beta-hydroxybutryate to acetoacetate is higher in AKA in contrast to diabetic ketoacidosis. Treatment includes administration of intravenous saline and dextrose as well as correction of electrolyte imbalances. Thiamine supplementation is included to prevent Wernicke encephalopathy. Insulin is not used due to risk of hypoglycemia. Other potential causes of the symptoms should be ruled out. Outcomes are favorable with treatment but up to 10% may develop cardiac arrest.
It is proposed that alcoholic ketoacidosis is a significant cause of death among people with chronic alcoholism although the true prevalence is unknown. Estimation of prevalence and outcomes of this population is limited by difficulty in diagnosing the condition and the presence of multiple disorders at presentation. In 1940, Edward S. Dillon, W. Wallace, Leon S. Smelo, first described alcoholic ketoacidosis as a distinct syndrome, they stated that "because of the many and complex factors, both physiologic and pathologic, which influence the acid-base balance of the body, a multitude of processes may bring about the state of acidosis as an end result."In 1971, David W. Jenkins and colleagues described cases of three non‐diabetic people with a history of chronic heavy alcohol misuse and recurrent episodes of ketoacidosis; this group proposed a possible underlying mechanism for this metabolic disturbance, naming it alcoholic ketoacidosis
