I have taken several German actuarial exams and had classes in probability theory and risk management and taught grad classes about financial optimization. I can help you prepare for any actuarial exam. I studied mathematics with minor subjects economics and computer science in Germany up to the Diploma degree, which is equivalent to a master's degree, before I started working on my dissertation in number theory.

During my undergraduate studies, I passed Actuarial Exams 1/P and 2/FM. I then worked at the consulting firm, Milliman, for 3 years as an economic research analyst. I began tutoring mathematics in high school as a member of Mu Alpha Theta (the US mathematics honors society) and NHS (National Honors Society). After high school I attended Rutgers University, where I completed a double major in math and economics at Rutgers University with a certificate in quantitative economics. From there I worked in economic consulting in NYC for 3 years. It was during that time that I realized my true passion [more]

I spent 3 years as an actuary for KPMG before deciding that I would prefer to come back to the NASA community, serving both in the Life office and in Data Analytics/Predictive Modeling under Property and Casualty and making it through four exams. I have traveled extensively as an actuarial consultant, working with many large, household clients, and have considerable tutoring experience in the math fields required even outside of actuarial science, so it is relatively simple to combine the two. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues as well, so while I suspect the bulk of WyzAnt stu [more]

"Versus Populum" is NOT the former name of a Sports Network, now called NBC Sports Network. It is, however, where the Priest in the Latin(Roman)Rite Liturgy of the Ordinary Form, called The Holy Sacrifice of The Mass, faces "Liturgical West", hence, Facing the Congregation.
And so it was the case at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs at Queens Boulevard and Ascan Avenue in Forest Hills, Queens, that I was at Mass this morning. Continuing from Yesterday, I listened to this morning's Reading of The Gospel According to St. Matthew Apostle, as Jesus Christ performed Miracles of The Curing of The Sick, such as the Woman who by Faith, touched Jesus' Garment and was cured of her Hemorrhages and the Official, whose Daughter appeared to be Dead, but Jesus brought her back to Life.
Now in the Latin(Roman)Rite Ordinary Form Mass Calendar, it was 14th Sunday In Ordinary Time, a form only used by the Latin(Roman)Rite. In the Latin(Roman)Rite Extraordinary Form Tridentine Latin Mass, it is the 4th Sunday After Pentecost.
I prefer this Traditional Way of Time After Pentecost, Epiphany and Easter. The Anglicans and Lutherans still employ this. The 14th Sunday of Ordinary Time Gospel does not follow this path.
It is in the Latin(Roman)Rite Ordinary Form, where the Readings follow the Three Year "ABC" Cycle. The Daily Readings follow the "AB" Cycle.
Like the Byzantine Rite Catholic Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, we stand for Holy Communion. Like in the same Liturgy, the General Intercessions-Prayers of The Faithful, they are from the Byzantine Rite Catholic Tradition.
The Doxology At The End of The Our Father is also Byzantine Rite Catholic in Origin, except it is the Priest who sings this part.
West is following The East Gospel Cycle. This looks to be a Traditionalist Summer.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Theotokos, Pray For Us Sinners, Now and at The Hour of Our Death, Amen.

Air Purifier Buying Considerations
Let's face it; breathing clean air isn't something that you'd see on the first few entries on anyone's checklists. However, with the entire globe steadily becoming more polluted day after day, taking extra steps to purify air is becoming just as important as making sure that drinking water is clean. Fortunately, breathing clean air can be ensured in the household by using an air purifier. But getting one shouldn't be a spur-of-the-moment decision. There are several things to consider before buying purchasing one from the local store.
1. Size. In a world where minimalist home setups and floor plans are becoming a prevalent trend, taking note of the size of any item to be added to a room is extremely important. Even if it's a rather large living room, adding a large household item will be an eyesore, especially if the design is dull and won't blend well with the interior. Most of the time, size is proportional to the purifying capacity, but there are some brands that offer a more compact yet equally as effective purifying power.
2. Budget. Budget is, of course, always a consideration when buying anything. But what most people get wrong with setting a budget is that they usually have the mindset of going for the cheapest option available – bad idea. There are plenty of substandard brands and models in store shelves and naturally, they're the ones that sport the cheapest price tags. On the other hand, equating high price with better quality isn't always correct. There are companies that take advantage of their effective marketing strategies and charge more for what their product is actually worth. Set a budget range for models that are getting good reviews from other buyers.
3. Features. Air purifier features are what separates average models from great options. One notable feature that is such a big advantage that makes it invaluable is the 3-in-1 filtration system. This should be required for every air purifier models out there. To get a better idea watch this video about the GermGuardian AC4825. This particular model has set a high standard. It's pretty much what the ideal air purifier the average homeowner would imagine being. However, not all households have the same use case and specifications. Some homes, for example, will require a larger model to address a bigger living space.
4. Safety standards. There's no denying that people are becoming more aware of the harmful effects of UV rays. And with air purifiers using the same rays to clean indoor air, how are homeowners supposed to feel safe from it? For some models of air purifiers, it's really a non-issue. The bulb that emits UV rays is usually safely located inside these appliances so they don't really pose any danger to people who are in proximity to the purifier. Air purifiers without emissions are good models to go for because they are not likely to cause headaches to people in the room. Instead of emitting waves, these models instead use filtration. This purifying technique has been around so long. Also, it is proven to still be the most reliable way of filtering air as well as water.

11 Questions with Fatima Dicko
MBA student at Stanford Graduate School of Business and Founder & CEO of Jetpack
Fatima Dicko is currently an MBA student at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Founder & CEO of Jetpack.
Fatima came to the United States from Mali at a young age. She grew up in New York City and received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University. Afterwards, Fatima moved to Baltimore to work as a Senior Engineer at Procter & Gamble on the Upstream Innovation team. This 5-person technologist team was responsible for developing breakthrough technologies 3–10 years away from market. She worked on wide-ranging projects that involved design thinking, technical modeling, formulation design and 3-D printing rapid prototyping.
After moving to Baltimore, Fatima realized that many people around her were not living healthy lifestyles, nor did they have the right exposure and resources to learn how to do so. To tackle this problem, Fatima ultimately left P&G and became the Founder & CEO of mybestbox, a lifestyle brand to help people jump-start and maintain healthy lifestyles in a convenient and affordable way.
The company assembles boxes with essential, high-quality products that cover a broad range of health and wellness areas. After two years of running mybestbox, Fatima and the mybestbox team discovered unique consumer insights that they've used to develop a new business model for Jetpack. Jetpack uses social networks and human interactions to make consumer products available in real time.
- When did you know you wanted to be in tech?
I was born in a small village in Mali, and I struggled with health issues as a child. Consequently, my family immigrated to the U.S. in hopes of obtaining more advanced medical support for me. When we arrived, we lived in a tiny, one bedroom apartment in New York City. My father worked as a security guard to support the family while furthering his own computer science education.
As a child in a new country, I was confused as my parents and I acclimated to American culture at the same time. Learning English alongside my parents made it difficult for them to help me with my homework. Socially, I had a hard time communicating with other students because I was still learning English. I ended up with a lot of time to figure out what I enjoyed.
I discovered my passion for analyzing and deconstructing computer hardware and began harassing my father to explain the mechanics behind everything, even amusement park rides. I slowly realized these weren't just quirks. They were special talents that revealed my potential. I was born to be a technologist.
"I genuinely believe people are our greatest assets and the world will do itself a great disservice by not finding ways to fully leverage the inner gifts of people from all walks of life."
2. Who's been a role model you look up to?
I find inspiration in many of the women around me every day: my mom and the phenomenal women I have the privilege of calling friends. I look up to any woman who fearlessly challenges the status quo and refuses to be limited by other people's perceptions of her.
One woman who currently comes to mind is Ursula Burns. I was lucky enough to hear her speak at my Columbia Engineering commencement. When Ursula Burns was named CEO of Xerox in 2009, she was the first Black woman to lead an S&P 500 company. She consistently repeats a quote her mom would say: "Where you are is not WHO you are. Remember that when you're rich and famous." Raised in a single parent household, she embodies the essence of a fearless leader who values the content of one's character as one of the biggest signs of success.
3. What gets you out of bed in the morning?
People. I get out of bed every morning with the dream of utilizing the power of people to change the world. I genuinely believe people are our greatest assets and the world will do itself a great disservice by not finding ways to fully leverage the inner gifts of people from all walks of life.
My company, Jetpack, aims to harness the power of people to address pressing psychological pain points. By pre-stocking people with the most important consumer products and using technology to connect them with people who need them, we set people up to develop emotional connections with those around them. I'm constantly thinking of new ways to build upon the model and wake up excited to implement and share the ideas with other people.
4. What's a challenge you've faced in your career journey?
Other people's preconceived notions and subconscious biases.
I'm a Black woman who constantly challenges the status quo. That makes a lot of people uncomfortable. I believe that my dreams are valid. That also makes people uncomfortable. When someone has preconceived notions around who I am or what my capabilities are before that person gets to know me, I can feel that negative energy. This energy misconstrues my cerebral silence as ignorance, my humility as incompetence, and my curiosity as lack of knowledge.
"The mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, came to [my company's] grand opening and said our company "is an example of Baltimore businesses that the community should support." I felt so much pride that day, primarily because it was proof that growing technology ventures and prioritizing marginalized people do not need to be mutually exclusive tasks."
There are so many brilliant women in this world who become forced to prove themselves rather than enjoy and appreciate the journey of personal growth, self-reflection and the pursuit of knowledge.
5. What's it like to go to grad school and run a business at the same time?
Being an entrepreneur while learning at Stanford has been super awesome. I get to apply super interesting concepts that I'm learning in class to my startup in real time. I can also take classes that focus on the areas of my company where I might need the most support. Stanford's especially an amazing place because I have the privilege of being around so many people who challenge myopic thinking.
That said, self-care has to be a huge priority that isn't sacrificed even during times that things start to get crazy.
6. Describe a time you were proud of yourself.
Last year, my company was fortunate enough to open a warehouse in West Baltimore and construct our own end-to-end fulfillment center. We wanted to choose a location in Baltimore that could also benefit from the growth of our company. I made the decision to pick a warehouse that was in one of the neighborhoods impacted by the Baltimore unrest in 2015 after the death of Freddie Gray.
Everyday I'd look out of the warehouse windows and see businesses that were burned down during the unrest. It inspired me to take control of the infinitesimally small portion of the world that I represent. The mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, came to our grand opening and said our company "is an example of Baltimore businesses that the community should support." I felt so much pride that day, primarily because it was proof that growing technology ventures and prioritizing marginalized people do not need to be mutually exclusive tasks.
7. What's something you want to get better at?
8. Comfort food of choice?
Public Answer: Thai Food! Private Answer: Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits?
9. Favorite book?
This changes all the time. Currently, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
10. If you could try another job for a day, what would it be?
An astronaut! Let's go to space!
11. If you could give your 18-year-old self a piece of advice, what would it be?
Take pride in and ownership of your unique gifts. There's great beauty in being different and great beauty in imperfection. It's okay and actually a wonderful thing to not think like the rest of the world.
I would also encourage myself to read up on Wabi-Sabi earlier, a Japanese world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Most importantly, I would tell myself to always prioritize self-care which begins with a strong foundation of self-love.

The world of cryptocurrency is an exciting place, and it's hard to see how it's not going to get even better. There are plenty of exciting coins on the market with many of them increasing in value, some dramatically. Importantly, however, the perception of digital currency has changed a lot over a short period of time.
The Bitcoin boom
Bitcoin is the industry leader, both in brand name and market value (as of 22 May 2018 the BTC price is $8,300). It's the undisputed champion of the market and will be for the foreseeable future. For all the other great coins on the market, they shouldn't be envious of Bitcoin, quite the opposite. They should be thankful for the way that Bitcoin is taking the industry out of the darkness and into the light.
The world of cryptocurrency is unknown to the vast majority of people, but that is slowly changing as the news stories become more and more mainstream. The irony here is that the majority of people have little idea about how banking institutions work, but there is a trust there because it's what they grew up with.
In the future, children could be growing up with digital currency as a fact of life, just like we grew up thinking there was only going to be coins and notes. Bitcoin is changing that, and while there may be claims that other currencies are better for one reason or the other, not all of them come close to Bitcoin's importance.
The perception is changing
If Bitcoin is accepted, then the rest of the market will be accepted as well. This has been seen already with the likes of Ripple getting contracts with American Express and Santander in order to transfer funds across the Atlantic. It's a sign of things to come, and signs that the industry should be very excited about.
There are many parallels that can be taken with cryptocurrency and the way the world has embraced change in the past. When the automobile was invented, many thought that it was going to be a useless gimmick. Do you remember a famous quote from Henry Ford who said that people didn't want cars at the time, instead they would be just fine with faster horses? This shows that in order to change the world, you have to think differently from everyone else.
With digital currency, the impossible has been made a reality, just like it was with vehicles. We all know how the story went with that, horses stopped being used and the car became more reliable and more trusted as the years went on. Henry Ford didn't invent the car, but he fundamentally changed the perception of it and allowed a whole industry to thrive on it.
Is Bitcoin the Ford of its day?
The same process will happen with Bitcoin. As it gets more and more accepted, people will learn to trust it and accept it as a new way of life. As a society, we have grown accustomed to great changes in the way we live. The smartphone, tablet or the computer that you're reading this on is a perfect example of that, they are all recent inventions that have become so common that you don't really think about it anymore.
It wasn't that long ago that you actually had to go into a bank to withdraw money or transfer it to another account. These days banking is incredibly easy and the majority of it can be done with your phone. If people can be that receptive to the changes in their life, then it won't take much for Bitcoin to be accepted into the mainstream, people just need to learn more about it.
No more recessions
It's the fundamental appeal of Bitcoin and the theory behind it which makes it so attractive to anyone looking to invest. The financial crash hit many people hard and gave many the realization that a lot of their financial future is guided by people and institutions that they have no control over. Having a government and a bank decide how your money was going to work just didn't appeal to anyone anymore.
Thankfully there were people intelligent enough to work out a new way of taking that control away from the banks. The decentralization of cryptocurrency is one of its appealing factors, and any currency that takes a step towards centralization is seen as a negative. Bitcoin offers this solution and has proved it's a coin that can be trusted.
An ever-increasing number of people in the world are understanding what Bitcoin is. Just like Ford all those years ago, it takes time for people to adjust to a fundamental change in the way things are done. Bitcoin is helping to pioneer this change and it does so as the face of online currency.
How long it'll take for everyone to view it in the way that cash is viewed today is anyone's guess, but there are increasing signs that people are more comfortable with that possibility. It won't be far off that the 'millennial' generation, who have grown up with computers, will all have some type of online currency.
The acceptance is growing by the day
Bitcoin is becoming more and more accepted by the day. No longer seen as this deep, dark mystery of the internet, it's stepping into the light and showing to everyone that change can be for the good. We used to trade in services, then we invented coins, which was followed by notes until online banking became commonplace. Currency has always evolved, and Bitcoin is leading the next revolution.
The future is cryptocurrency, and more people are starting to realize that. Which online currency will be the leader in 10 years' time? Who knows. But Bitcoin will certainly be the coin to thank for opening the floodgates to this whole new world and being accepted just like cash is today.

Your lifestyle determines your risk of cancer more than genetics.
Many Americans don't realize that lifestyle accounts for 80% of our health risk for cancer and other life threatening diseases. Family history and genetics account for only 20%.
It was something that we learned while researching rare and complex cancers for a medical device client years ago and echoed by Dr Kristi Funk in a recent interview on GMA about her new book Breasts The Owner's Manual.
During the interview, Dr. Funk debunks the myths about what causes breast cancer [deodorant, underwire bras, cell phone, microwaves etc.] and highlights a few simple things that you can do everyday to maintain your health and reduce your risk of cancer.
Five (5) things that you can do every day to reduce your breast cancer risk.
1/ Eat a plant based diet because the phytonutrients destroy cancer cells.
A plant based diet is primarily made up of fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes and healthy fats such as olive oil and avocados. Limit animal proteins, dairy and processed foods made with white flour and refined sugar.
2/ Exercise at least 5 hours per week to help eliminate toxins from the body. Exercise is also good for maintaining the heart, bones, muscles and mind.
3/ Limit alcohol intake to 1 drink per day if you need to drink. You've probably heard that drinking a glass of red wine is good for the heart but not drinking alcohol is even better for your health.
4/ Get to and maintain a healthy body weight for life. If you're eating a plant based diet, exercising 5 hours a week and limiting your alcohol intake, getting to a healthy bodyweight and maintaining it overtime should be fairly easy to do.
5/ Limit your exposure to environmental toxins. There are some simple things that you can do to reduce your exposure.
- Wash your hands frequently with regular soap and water especially before you eat.
- Dust and vacuum your home regularly.
- Add some plants to remove toxins from the air
- Use chemical-free or essential oil lotions, makeup and fragrance.
Two additional things that you can do to reduce your health risk for rare and complex cancers:
1/ Don't smoke – anything! Cigarettes come with plenty of warning about the health risks. States that have legalized Marijuana are now seeing increased health risk in newborns. So if in doubt about some new form of smoking or substance, just remember don't smoke. It's not worth the risk to your health.
2/ Limit exposure to harmful chemicals. Chemicals in your home or workplace, such as asbestos and benzene, also are associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Trams are like buses…. Actually they aren't like buses at all. I know this because I actually caught the bus to work this morning… instead of my preferred mode of Zuri transport to work, Tram 10.
The story started with my new purple (mahogany?) streaks in my hair, I know it sounds dodgy but they really just give it a warm reddy,pinky, purply hue.
Anyway, because of said new hairstyle I had to spend longer getting ready than I had allocated and on top of getting up laterthan normal by exactly 9 minutes – the precision here is relevant – because of my post weekend in UK expedition tiredness, I had to spend an extra 10 minutes checking how purple my hair really looked before letting myself loose on non-purple haired Switzerland. This made me 19 minutes later than my absolute latest leave time to get to work for 9 am.
I love trams for lots of reasons, some might say this is very sad but:
1. They are beautiful, with lots of different shapes depending on age that make them look like different characters
2. They make cool sounds like vooooooooom
3. The drivers look like they are driving a racing car with steely determination and no nonsense authority, even though they can only really stop and start them as they run on tracks ( I am a big fan of watching the driver through the window as he/she obviously plays a game to see if they can slow the tram down from really fast to a smooth stop right on the doors stop here lines)
4. Tram hopping is fun if you want a cheap trip out
5. They are always on time, well mostly it's a scandal if they're not
6. They don't get stuck in traffic.
This is very important. It means I can leave at the latest 8.45, catch the 8.55 tram and be at work for 8.59…. But not today.
I was late leaving, at 9 am the trams move from every 7 minutes to every 15 minutes and my only choice was to get the bus. It only takes 3 minutes longer than the tram, so in itself not a biggie, but I have to think hard about this option of a morning, considering the facts.
You see, I do have the option to catch the bus if I arrive at the stop and the tram has just gone (6 mins to the next one) and the bus is just coming, but I worked out that this could take longer as the bus is slower and I have to walk 50 metres further from the bus stop to work than the tram stop. So as you may have already concluded, this is not an option I often take.
Today, I had no choice….. The tram had left, the next one was 8 minutes and the bus was 1 minute away. So, obviously, I though on this occasion the bus was the sensible option.
Oh no. I got on to the bus. I had to hear it's chugging engine whilst it didn't actually move anywhere – this never happens on the tram. It didn't move around the corner for 2 minutes or more…. I kept thinking 'the next tram will catch up with us, I should have waited'. Frantically, I was calculating the minutes. Had I made the wrong decision?
Every stop possible I considered other options. Get off at Leutschenbach and change to the 10 when it comes, save 1 min walk….. Get off at Fernsehnstudio and hop over to the 12… Or change to the 11 then net stop to he 10. When it comes. I decided to stick with the Bus. I had made my bed and I would lie in it.
Finally, 8 minutes later, maybe 9, I reached Modecenter TMC with relief…. I could see the 10 in the distance but I had beaten it so far… Could I get to the office door in less time than I would have if the tram arrived now?
I sighed relief when I saw the tram arrive at the stop the same time I got to the office, all was not lost!
Then I thought to myself – quite late you may say – all of this for what? 2 minutes! Next time, I'll just take the tram 🙂
Some tramtastic shots… You get the picture!

In 2 Facebook posts early this morning, Lee Wei Ling said she and her brother Hsien Yang would never have taken their feud with eldest brother PM Lee Hsien Loong public if it was merely a family squabble.
She also fired this warning to the public: "If PM can misuse his official power to abuse his siblings who can fight back, what else can he do to ordinary citizens."
Amongst various claims in the 6-page statement published by Ms Lee and Hsien Yang yesterday, they accused their elder brother, PM Lee Hsien Loong, of abusing his position as prime minister to stop the demolition of their father Lee Kuan Yew's 38 Oxley Road house so he could milk the late Lee's popularity.
They also said that they feel threatened by PM Lee's misuse of his position and influence over the Singapore government to drive his personal agenda such that Hsien Yang and his family feel forced to leave Singapore, and that Ho Ching's "pervasive influence" that "extends well beyond her job purview".
This is how state media reported the news:
PM Lee has denied all allegations against him and said that the actions of Ms Lee and Hsien Yang have hurt their family's legacy.
This is Ms Lee's Facebook post this morning, reproduced in full:
"I am out of Singapore, with erratic and slow internet connection. The article that appeared in the Singapore press gave PM's version of the story. Our letter was carefully vetted by our lawyers and obviously not in my own voice.
My American friend who is the tour leader of my Scottish island holiday thought it a family quarrel. If it were merely a family affair, we would not have taken it public. The main message is not Hsien Yang & I fearing what PM will do to us. The most important point I want to put across is if PM can misuse his official power to abuse his siblings who can fight back, what else can he do to ordinary citizens. But our lawyer edited that main message out, and as Hsien Yang got most of the bullying, he could not help but allow his emotion to be expressed in the press statement. That is what led my American friend to conclude that it is a family quarrel.
38 Oxley Road was bought by my parents, it is for them to decide what its fate is. My Father had told us, his children, repeatedly, that being family property, there is no need to donate to charity if Oxley were sold. Hsien Loong, as a condition for selling the house to Hsien Yang, and in his attempt to punish Hsien Yang for blocking what he wants to do with the house, stipulated that in addition to paying Hsien Loong the market value of the house, he must also donate 50% of that value to charity.
Hsien Loong and Ho Ching are finally showing their true colours. I think these Colours show them unsuitable as PM and most certainly as PM's wife of Singapore."
And in another post this morning, she said:
"Private family matters don't involve setting up secret committees of ministers to get your way. There is no way that this committee was set up without LHL's tacit consent and approval."

Jeffrey M. Nakano, MD, Steve Heil, MD, Mark Luker, MD
Knee replacement surgeries, also known as knee arthroplasties, are one of the most life enhancing and successful medical interventions of the 20th century. Modern techniques of this procedure date back to the 1960's, and in 2016 more than 600,000 knee replacement will be performed in the United States alone. Knee arthroplasties can be broadly classified as total knee replacements, where all the joint surfaces are replaced with artificial parts, or partial knee replacements, where only the damaged portions of the knee joint are replaced.
These procedures are performed for patients who, for one reason or another, have experience destruction of the knee joint surface. The most common reason for this destruction is osteoarthritis, which is generally associated with the aging process, but may have genetic influences. The predominant symptom is pain in the knee that is mainly associated with walking and standing, and the pain is generally better with sitting and lying down. The diagnosis of severe arthritis can usually be made with x-rays, but sometimes a MR scan will be helpful.
The usual reason to choose to have a knee replacement is the inability to perform the activities associated with daily life, such as walking, climbing stairs, and getting up and down from a seated position, after nonsurgical interventions such as medications, injections, physical therapy, use of braces or other external support have failed. As with all mechanical devices, knee arthroplasty components will fail eventually, but it would not be unreasonable to expect the components to last 20 years or more. When you think about it, we would all be satisfied if we had a car or refrigerator that lasted 20 years! The present generation of knee replacement components will probably fail sooner if subjected to impact activities such as running.
Health Care Decisions to Consider Before the Surgery
Knee replacement surgery remains a major surgery, despite the fact that in some centers across the country total knee arthroplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure in select patients. People should first see their primary care doctor and possibly even a specialist such as a cardiologist to make sure they are healthy enough to undergo the procedure, and to make sure their medical condition is optimized. Due to infection concerns, dental work is discouraged for 3 months after surgery, so we suggest having a dental check-up prior to surgery. The local hospitals have preoperative classes for joint replacements surgery that we highly recommend patients attend. If you have been very inactive due to the arthritics condition, we recommend a few sessions of physical therapy prior to surgery to strengthen your muscles and build endurance in order to facilitate the recovery process.
Infection is a feared complication of this surgery. This problem will occur less than 1% of the time, but it will usually mean more surgeries and hospitalizations to effect a cure. Infections often come from bacteria that living on and in patients. Recent research has demonstrated that the average human harbors up to 6 pounds of bacteria. For this reason we have our patients do a special scrub to their surgical site and use an antibiotic nasal gel starting prior to the operation. Other factors that have been shown to increase the risk of infection are obesity, poorly controlled diabetes and smoking. Other risks include blood clots in the leg veins or lungs, heat attack, stroke, and nerve damage.
Components of the Knee Replacement
The knee replacement hardware generally consists of four components. There is a cobalt chromium metal cap that is cemented in place over the end of the thigh bone at the knee (femoral component). The upper end of the shin bone (proximal tibia) is covered with a metal plate (tibial component) attached to a short stem that is cemented into the top of the tibia. There is a plastic spacer (polyethylene insert) that goes between the femoral and tibial components, acting as a bearing surface. The knee cap is usually resurfaced also with a polyethylene disk.
Figure on the left depicting an arthritic knee with destroyed joint surfaces. The figure on the right demonstrates the knee with artificial components in place.
Day of the Surgery
Patients come to the hospital on the morning of the surgery to start preparations for the procedure. An IV is started and you will meet with the anesthesiologist. Almost all our patients have a spinal anesthetic, and as a result a breathing tube is not required and you do not need to be attached to a breathing machine. This is some evidence to suggest that the risk of blood clots is reduced when compared with general anesthesia. During surgery, if your health will allow, the anesthesiologist will sedate you and most patients sleep through the operation.
Method of the Procedure
The actual surgery takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes. An incision is made over the front of the knee to expose the knee joint. The destroyed joints surfaces of the proximal tibia, distal femur, and patella are shaved off precisely with special cutting jigs and sometimes with the assistance of computer navigation. The artificial components are cemented in place. The surgeon must carefully select the right size components, make sure the leg is properly aligned, and that the ligament tension is correct for the operation to be successful.
After surgery you will go to the recovery room for about 90 minutes prior to going to the orthopaedic floor of the hospital. Most patients who have surgery early in the day are able to get out of bed, walk and go to the bathroom the day of surgery. Oral pain medications are started. All patients will be given medication for the prevention of blood clots. Most patients can just take 325 mg of aspirin daily to prevent blood clots. Patients that are at a higher risk because of prior blood clots or pulmonary embolisms are treated with a stronger oral or injectable blood thinner. A physical therapist will evaluate your needs and design your post-surgical therapy to address your lifestyle when you get back home. If you have stairs or other challenges at home they will make sure you can safely do those things prior to discharge. It is important to begin the process of regaining the ability to bend and straighten the knee. Currently, the hospital stay is 1 to 3 nights. Some older patients will need further rehabilitation after the hospital stay. One option is having a home health physical therapist come to your house after discharge. Another option, especially for those without help at home, is going to one of the local nursing homes for further rehabilitation. This is usually covered by Medicare.
At Home
After you are home you will continue to work on the range of motion exercises recommended by the physical therapist in order to regain the ability to bend and straighten the knee. Outpatient physical therapy is often recommended to facilitate the recovery process. You will continue to use the walker or crutches until it is safe to progress to a cane, and finally no external support. Most people will feel that they are doing pretty well by three months after surgery.

More than 200 Australians will march in the stadium behind her. The announcement was at a gala in the flag-bearer's honor. Bets were even placed on who would receive the nod, many picking Jackson, 31, because of her dedication to her country, sport and women in athletics. This is her fourth Olympic Games, winning silver in the past three. The Opals are 21-3 in Olympic competition since Jackson joined the team, the losses all against Team USA. When asked what her parents, both former members of Australia's national team, would think of her selection, Jackson told reporters they "would both fall off their feet." She also didn't believe she deserved the honor. "To me, Lauren is an unassuming athlete with wonderful leadership qualities on and off the court," said Australian chef de mission Nick Green, who made the selection. "She has all the qualities I admire in a leader and that is the person our team needs as a captain here in London." You can catch the opening ceremonies on NBC at 7:30 p.m. (PDT). The Opals begin Olympic competition on Saturday against host-country Great Britain. You can catch that game as well as the American's pool-play opener against Croatia on Comcast channel 895. It's a special basketball station provided by NBC, but the network will also offer replays on its main station. Please click here for your local stations and times to catch the action. Jackson, a 6-foot-6 center, negotiated missing the opening half of the WNBA season with the Storm (9-10) in order to prepare and compete in the Games. Her full salary is counted against Seattle's salary cap, but she will only be paid a prorated amount once she returns. The 2001 No. 1 overall draft pick, Jackson said she would be back in a Storm uniform once WNBA play resumes Aug. 16 – adding it would only be delayed if her country won the coveted gold medal in order to give time to celebrate at home. The Storm is the only team Jackson has played for in the WNBA. And after the Mariners traded Ichiro to the Yankees this week, the Aussie is Seattle's longest-tenured athlete at 12 seasons. Jackson is the second WNBA player to receive the honor of flag-bearer at the Olympic Games. Former guard Dawn Staley led the Americans in 2004 at the Athens Games. *PHOTO CREDIT: Storm C Lauren Jackson goes for a block for the Opals by The Associated Press.

The irony of kicking off a 5000+ mile road trip with a focus on environmental education is not lost on us. We've printed paper zines, handed out brochures from our amazing charity partner CORE and offered up cocktails in a variety of vessels which have included plastic (biodegradable, of course). Our list of environmental sins is not small, and I know that no amount of repentance here will fix those transgressions.
But, I do know that we spent some time considering how to optimize our travel and weigh our footprint against our other options.
For example, we rented a van that gets pretty incredible gas mileage. The Ford Transit (2017) is the Car and Driver top ranked van for gas mileage in its class-beating out the Mercedes Benz Sprinter and Chevy Express by fairly wide margins. This choice should save us roughly 273 gallons of gas over the course of the trip, which is no small amount. Let's also consider the option of flying versus driving. If the 6-8 (depending on the day) of us opted to fly instead of drive, we would have not only been at the mercy of the airlines, weather and a number of other factors we could not control, but we would have also been staring down some fairly serious environmental implications too. Let's first look at the CO2 footprint of this trip as it stands today.
3.19 tons of CO2. That's not a small amount. But, we're also not traveling a short distance. Now, let's put that up against the carbon footprint for ONE of us to fly the same distances.
That's 5.68 tons of CO2 for just one of us. That does not consider all 6-8 of us and our cargo. When all is said and done, we're looking at 3.19 tons of CO2 vs. 39.76 tons of CO2. Needless to say, the van was an easy choice.
The environmental concerns were certainly at play when we were considering the logistics of this project, but it would be disingenuous to say it ended there. As we've mentioned (ad nauseam) this tour is inspired by The Minutemen and the exploits of DIY and indie musicians in the late 80s and early 90s. And, as you can guess, those bands traveled by van. Of course, their vans were not this nice. They were not this new, and they certainly were not vacuumed or cleaned as often as this one is (old bar habits die hard). But, they traveled in a van nonetheless.
There is something inherently American about traveling this way. There's romance in packing all of your earthly possessions and seeing the country- connecting to the vast expanse that is America. This idea is well documented in films and song, art and literature. And, while very little of it is actually glamorous, the idea of the open road and freedom are so intrinsically linked. These ideas are hardwired into the American psyche as living the idyllic life.
Personally, I'm incredibly susceptible to this idea. I've spent the better part of the last decade traveling from city to city-learning what America has to offer, and I can genuinely say I am a better person for it. But, this is the first time I've dedicated seven whole weeks to the road, not an airport. I'm stopping in every city along the way and connecting with the communities that make up our always growing bar world. Traveling this way ensures you miss less and connect more. You see the space between. You experience the land, the economy, the climate and geography and interact in a more personal way. These places are now a part of my consciousness. And, I look forward to understanding the rest of this country in the same way.
There's a lesson here in wastefulness and American consumerism. There's another in pursuing freedom at the cost of the greater good. But, for now, I want to focus on the good that this travel has done for me and my team.
As we look forward to the next week (where we will be taking a closer look at mental health and wellness issues), I will keep the lessons we learned with me. Whether it's practicing what you preach and triple checking that every drink served goes out without a straw and beverage napkin or just making sure we hold onto our hats (literally and figuratively) as we look out over a scenic overpass in Kansas, the last week will stay with me and will inform every decision I make.
I'll leave you with this playlist of songs from the road. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy seeing all of you out here:

Intro Bar Membership Plugin For WordPress
Wonderful membership platforms need to be easy enough to work with when membership websites are launched, but will need to provide the room for these sites to grow as they achieve success. Inside this MemberMouse Review, we will discuss the pros and cons of using MemberMouse for WordPress membership sites, and the way that MemberMouse matches the needs of various users. Bar Membership Plugin For WordPress
Getting Started
The neat thing about this is you can alter the registered URL, so if you would like to utilize MemberMouse on a website before migrating to a production website, you can register the staging site URL and completely setup your site and members for launch, then migrate the URL to the live website. Once your site URL is registered on your MemberMouse accounts, you may then download the MemberMouse plugin in your dashboard and install it on your WordPress website. From that point, you are all set to begin configuring your website.If you don't want to establish the site yourself, then you can buy Quick Start support from MemberMouse for $299, which includes a WordPress installation (optional), MemberMouse setup after a consultation call, and an optional migration of membership data from an existing site. Bar Membership Plugin For WordPress
MemberMouse Overview
Additionally, MemberMouse can offer upsells to members, or mechanically offer downsells to customers that want to cancel in order to boost client retention and optimize earnings. MemberMouse also allows members to update or downgrade memberships .You can take a look at a full feature list from MemberMouse to each of the juicy details in 1 spot, or see our overview of some MemberMouse features.
Configuring MemberMouse
MemberMouse creates several pages when installed (similar to an eCommerce plugin), for example voucher pages, login/out webpages for associates, and more. It is possible to customize these pages in order to check the best approach for your shop, but I decided to get set up.You can take a look at your membership dashboard once you log in to see some compacted information about your website, but since I have not set up anything yet, I headed down to the General Settings menu to determine what options I had.Under general settings, I navigated to"Other Settings" and was able to change what members see when logged in, for example, page they're redirected to and if to display protected menu items (for instance, if you're shielding products from non-members). 1 setting that many of you may Discover intriguing is the"Access Sharing Protection"This little box allows you to limit the number of different IP addresses may log in to your website using the very same credentials in a 24-hour period. I would allow more than one IP address if members use a computer and a cellular device to look at your content. That way they don't get frustrated by being locked out of your site when using another apparatus. For some membership websites, the ability to limit login info is non-negotiable, therefore MemberMouse becomes an attractive choice.MemberMouse also allows you to create Employee users under General Settings so that support or sales personnel can log in to your site and member centre in order to create or help members, but do not have access to site configuration options. When support or sales people log into, they simply have access to the"Manage Members" menu, MemberMouse Dashboard, and Task Logs.As a final note on setup, MemberMouse comprises a few built-in widgets that you could use to display content throughout your site. By way of example, the"Protected Content" widget can display upcoming content to members according to which membership level access they have so they know what to look forward to (date could be included too ).

Creating Products with MemberMouse
1 word of caution for those of you trying MemberMouse: watch the tutorial movies. Usually documentation is excellent for when I get stuck instead of as a starting point, but I wasn't certain why products and memberships were separated in the way they were.MemberMouse assigns membership access to unique products. If you are new at this, it might appear redundant to separate memberships from goods initially; however, this allows you more flexibility in pricing your membership products. You may produce a"Bronze" membership access level and connect it to multiple products, like a standard product (at one cost ), a discounted merchandise (using a promotional cost ), and an affiliate merchandise (with a price for consumers known as an affiliate). After watching the videos and understanding that this structure, I truly liked the flexibility provided by separating membership accessibility from products.Products are made under Product Settings. Both virtual and physical products are handled from the same page, and after your products are put up, you can then create membership accessibility levels and delegate them to your products. To begin, delegate your"Associated Access" for your products to"none" since you'll be setting up memberships afterwards.Together with MemberMouse, you are able to make sign-up fees or trial intervals. If you enable"Trials", you may optionally set a cost for a trial period (which could be 0 ), then decide how long trial period will operate. If you merely want to use this to get a sign-up fee, then it's possible to set a one-day trial and then initiate the membership. This is not ideal, because the monthly fee won't be shown instantly at checkout because just the signup fee is revealed, but it works well enough that it should not be a problem. Your product description should clarify fees and billing anyway.You might also make products"shippable" to make the most of the limited shipping methodsaccessible MemberMouse for memberships which involve bodily goods. Bar Membership Plugin For WordPress
Creating Membership Access with MemberMouse
After products are made, you may then create membership access levels to connect to some of your membership solutions. These membership levels will establish the content limitation rules for members. However, you may also edit the accessibility rules onto a per-post or even per-page basis.When you create a membership level, you can assign that accessibility level to a particular product. This is precisely what I had been talking about in regard to versatility — you can assign an access level to as many goods as you need, so if you offer promotional pricing for email readers or testimonials from your own affiliates, you can tie the identical accessibility to every one of these products.You will also select which classes will be shielded for that access level from the exact same screen. Multiple post categories can be selected for accessibility. As a default, access will be restricted for the whole post for every single post in the category. However, you can get around this to display post excerpts and teasers using Smart Tags. Access can also be put on a per-post or per-page foundation whilst editing a page or post. The post / page editor is also where you are going to handle content dripping. Dripping is elastic and super-simple, as you can set a delay in access for every membership level in terms of days.Once content dripping is set up, you can view schedules for each membership degree below Product Settings > Content Dripping Schedule to find an overall view of if each entry level can see content. This page will also enable you to bulk edit access rights for each membership level, and customize content dripping occasions for each access level. It's really useful for those of you that currently have a good deal of content created, and just want to assign trickle occasions and access rights from one screen.Not certain how it'll look to every member? MemberMouse has a cool feature where you can preview articles from a certain access level's point of view, and also from a number of times into the membership (to determine the way your content dripping will affect what members view ). Examine the top of your display when previewing your site.
MemberMouse Smart Tags
Before you begin setting up your website in order to sell membership goods, you'll want to take a look at a few of the built-in shortcodes for MemberMouse, known as Smart Tags. You can use smart tags to insert purchase links for your products, selectively restrict (or remove restrictions from) certain pieces of content to create excerpts, and display member data. Bright tags also allow you to insert hyperlinks that allow members to handle their own subscriptions, upgrade memberships, or purchase new goods.
Selling Packages
MemberMouse has yet another sales choice of which you may take advantage. Members can't purchase more than one membership level using MemberMouse. However, you may use another content restriction instrument, called a bundle, to provide a topic-based membership. This is also how you can provide upsells to present members. You may assign many products to a bundle in precisely the same way which it is possible to assign multiple products to a membership accessibility level. Bundles allow you to enlarge the material access a product provides when used this way.Because Bundles are tied to products in precisely the same way as membership accessibility, bundles can also take advantage of content dripping. The advantage to using bundles is that members can buy more than 1 bundle at a time.

Selling and Handling MemberMouse Memberships
When you are done learning about smart tags, setting up products, access levels, and articles dripping, you will want to sell the memberships you've created. While MemberMouse automatically creates a lot of pages, it does not create a catalog or page. For me this is a good thing, since I think selling memberships to potential users requires long-form content anyhow — members probably are not going to visit your site and navigate for memberships right away.To sell memberships, you ought to create posts or pages with purchase links. It's possible to replicate purchase links from your product settings for each item, or generate a buy link using a smart label if the connection has been posted in your WordPress website (that is what we've done in the screenshot). You might even use MemberMouse's built-in button styles rather than the ones from your theme (mine are somewhat lackluster since we are using the default theme).
MemberMouse prices are determined by the amount of users for your membership website, however MemberMouse is not a true SaaS solution, since the MemberMouse plugin runs on your own servers. You put in the plugin on your website, but may also possess a MemberMouse account; your site then assesses with the MemberMouse licensing server to deliver data on site usage. As this is a"check in", your site doesn't need MemberMouse's licensing servers to run the membership part of your site. Because of this, website performance is entirely determined by your hosting and surroundings.MemberMouse pricing ranges from $20 per month for 1,000 users as much as premium and professional plans at $300-600 a month for sites with more than 100,000 users (support is included for all plans). Each pricing tier provides different benefits (like premium support starting with advanced programs ), but here's a rough breakdown of price based on number of users.
Managing Members
Among the wonderful things about MemberMouse is that members can handle themeselves, which can help free up time you would otherwise spend onsite administration. For instance, member upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations can all be accomplished by members in the"My Account" page. You could also customize the manhood"My Account" page to mechanically upsell your merchandise for you, or to try to conserve sales if members want to cancel. The members center is geared towards simplifying and simplifying your site direction, which may save massive amounts of time for websites with tens of thousands of members.If you want to downsell members who'd prefer to cancel, you also are able to make the most of this MemberMouse Save the selling webpage , which permits you to create a downsell which will be shown to members that are looking to cancel a membership. When a member violates their accounts (or you choose to set cancellations to membership pauses), their membership is really frozen so that they still have access to some material that has been published up to this point, but are removed from the drip schedule and cannot access any new content. Bar Membership Plugin For WordPress
Billing and Payments
You may continue to bill on a recurring basis indefinitely, or you can set a number of bicycles for your membership (for example"3 payments of $19.95″). In addition, you can charge a one-time fee for memberships (though I would recommend avoiding this unless you're just starting out, as you'll always have to pursue new associates, which kind of defeats the purpose of a recurring billing version ).You can even use coupons with MemberMouse, and decide whether to apply them to the initial billing cycle or the lifetime of this membership. Coupons can supply a percentage off or a dollar-amount reduction. Coupons are also made to provide an entirely free membership, or you could make a membership for a customer yourself and deductions which membership instead. Coupon usage can be limited to specific products or quite a few uses.The very best part about billing is that you can control recurring billing actions, such as refunds, directly from MemberMouse instead of logging into your account with your payment processor. Ultimately, MemberMouse integrates with several popular payment providers, including Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Braintree, and ClickBank. It's possible to use one onsite payment system, such as Stripe or Authorize.net, and at the same time use PayPal or ClickBank to supply up to three payment choices.As cards are tokenized and saved for members, MemberMouse may also help automate late payment handling to save your client control staff time and maintain your revenue stream flowing. When MemberMouse finds that a card has been declined, it marks the member's account as late, then sends the member and email asking him to login and upgrade the card info in the account. The member is then immediately charged the sum due and the member account is reactivated.
MemberMouse is not really designed to be an eCommerce platform, but it can permit you to sell some physical goods through your site and also to sell physical goods with subscriptions, such as magazines (though I think it does a much better job with virtual products compared to physical goods ). When you produce your goods, you mark it as"shippable", subsequently set up basic transport prices (like regular and expedited shipping).Personally, I'd only include shipping as part of the membership prices per month (and advertise this fact!) To simplify my shop management, however, the delivery methods can be helpful for selling'swag' items and other physical products for your site.
MemberMouse has a few integrations built in to assist you with your site management. First, email is essential for communication and engagement. Instead of set up an internal email system, MemberMouse integrates directly with email marketing firms like MailChimp and AWeber. You can use this integration to manage your relationship with members using an email platform you're already acquainted with, and transferring members between automatic lists to save you time.MemberMouse also incorporates with iDevAffiliate to manage affiliates for your membership site. When clients have been sent in an affiliate, this will be noted in the member account, and you'll be able to choose to dynamically display content or offers to associates based on which affiliate referred them to your website.
Speaking of Developers
If you're an advanced user, or have a programmer on staff, it's possible to further automate a good deal of MemberMouse functions. In addition to clever tags (shortcodes in WordPress lingo), there are lots of actions and filters available, in addition to a well-documented collection of global functions for use in templates as well as other custom code.In addition, you can make push notifications for site administrators and associates for events like new member signups or charge receipts. This means that MemberMouse can always be the hub of information for your membership-based business.MemberMouse also has an API that programmers can use to incorporate MemberMouse with outside programs, which is not true with all membership plugins. This permits you to create, get, and upgrade information about members.
MemberMouse includes email support with all plans, also offers some other resources for consumers. Total documentation can be obtained, and was pretty useful for me. Some documentation comprises video walkthroughs, and all functions and settings are documented. I only used the service desk time for an problem with the smart tag libraryand obtained an answer to the question I filed in the morning later the same afternoon, and got a follow-up email to let me know the problem would be resolved within the next release.Furthermore, there is developer documentation accessible for site customizations. If you are conducting a membership site with thousands of associates, chances are you have a programmer on retainer or a single on team, so having docs useful for tweaks and customizations is a plus.

MemberMouse Review
MemberMouse offers enormous functionality and will make it possible for you to treat your membership site like a business rather than a hobby. Since it is intended for sites with tens of thousands of members, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Setting up a website and fundamental content restriction is easy (especially with the help of the"Getting Started" videos), but far more personalization is possible in case you're eager to generate a time investment in site setup and optimization. There's definitely a learning curve involved in using MemberMouse, however it is in proportion to the amount of functionality you escape the plugin, since it has virtually everything you could want in a membership platform.
MemberMouse makes it effortless to enhance the Lifetime Value of your members by providing the ability for one-click sales. By removing barriers to buy for present members, you can radically increase conversions. When members have been logged in, purchase links only start a pop-up confirming the purchase will be charged to the card on the account to make the purchase basically a one-click sale (account info is currently prepopulated with all the payment data tokenized from the customer account). Since you've gone through the time and cost to acquire these members, up-selling them is made as easy as possible to create additional revenue and to help them locate different goods.Another interesting feature is the capacity to email purchase links to members, so that when the link is clicked, members have been logged in and delivered to a pre-populated cart to remove as many barriers as possible to purchase.The degree of support MemberMouse provides was interesting for me personally, as many membership alternatives offer the plugin / integration and support, and that is it. The Quick Start service is a white-gloved setup and setup, which is offered by some other providers, but MemberMouse also supplies a list of recommended contractors, and supports present users to become affiliates to promote the services. Developer resources are also a excellent addition, and enable you to customize, tweak, or extend your usage of MemberMouse past WordPress. Bar Membership Plugin For WordPress

Microsoft hopes to back up its refrain that it has a plan to catch Google by showing off some improvements to its Live Search product at a company-sponsored advertising conference later this month.
"We will start to show you the next version of the search," Chairman Bill Gates said in comments to reporters in Japan Wednesday, promising that Microsoft had some exciting things up its sleeve. The comments were included in a partial transcript provided by Microsoft.
The spring update is also expected to include new types of vertical search and improvements in overall relevance of search queries, according to a source familiar with the company's plans. Specifically, Microsoft is expected to add to the shopping-specific search tools that debuted in its Fall 2007 release. Microsoft has also been working on a new look for its Live Search product, which went live this week.
The company has struggled to make headway in search, particularly in the area of being the place that consumers go for general Web queries.
Microsoft has been a distant third in search, accounting for 9.4 percent of core U.S. search queries in February, according to ComScore. Google, held a 59.8 percent share, while Yahoo was second, with 21.3 percent.
Many of Microsoft's recent changes have centered around improving specific types of searches, such as image search, celebrity tracking, and medical searches. The company is also focusing a good deal of energy on trying to build "search experiences" into its various Web products.
Windows Live General Manager Brian Hall reiterated that's Microsoft's approach in a speech to investors on Tuesday. Hall echoed an oft-repeated line that search can be a lot better than 10 blue links, particularly if it is integrated into the task people are doing when they make the queries.
"We think we can do a lot more to drive contextual search," he said. "We see a lot of opportunity to push the envelope there."
Microsoft declined to offer detailed comments on what is due in the next iteration of its search product, which has been code-named "Rome."
"Live Search is on a fall/spring release cycle, and we will gradually roll out updates at these intervals to improve the experience for both advertisers and consumers," the company said in a statement. "The recent updates you've noticed are part of the latest release, and we will continue to test and implement various features and functionality over the next couple of weeks."
In his comments in Japan, Gates pointed out that although Google has a high market share in search, it is also the kind of area in which Microsoft can use marketing to get people to try out its products, in due course.
He also played up the notion that Microsoft is an important counterweight to Google's position in the market saying, Microsoft wants to "make sure that state of the art does get advanced and advertisers have good choices in terms of what they are doing with their interactive advertising."
