11. The Length of the Neck
and the Adverse Musculoskeletal Changes
The length of the neck is determined by the curvature of the neck spine (cervical spine), the upper and middle back spine, and by the curvature of the lower back spine. The bigger the curvature of the neck spine, middle and upper back spine and lower back spine, the shorter the neck is.
Side Note: A curvature of the cervical spine (neck spine) always refers to an inward curvature.
The curvature of the neck spine (cervical spine) is determined by the activity level (intensity and time) of the neck muscles. Prolonged inactivity of the neck muscles will cause an increased curvature of the cervical spine. (Insufficient or the absence of upwards lifting activity of the neck muscles for a prolonged period of time is the cause for a decrease of the neck's length.)
Adverse musculoskeletal changes, like excessive inward curvature of the cervical spine and excessive outward curvature of the upper back spine are correlated with aging, but a great percentage of the population is affected in the early stage of life, and some of them are affected in early childhood.
1) People can be affected with excessive curvature of the neck spine, but still they may not be obese.
2) People can be affected with an excessive curvature of the middle and upper back spine, but still they may not be obese.
3) People can be affected with an excessive curvature of the lower back spine, but still they may not be obese.
Side Note: With a simple observation, it can be noticed that all obese people are affected with an excessive inward curvature of the lower back (lumbar spine), and with an excessive outward curvature of the upper back spine (thoracic spine), and with an excessive inward curvature of the neck spine (cervical spine).
12. The Reason and Science
behind Putting Rings (brass coils) around the Neck
The exact reasons why people tried to elongate the neck and why they came to the idea of putting rings around the neck are still left for discovery.
However, the reason for wearing rings around the neck is not just to appear beautiful. It is very likely to prevent some of the adverse musculoskeletal changes in such a way that it causes an unnatural elongation of the neck, and they prevent other more serious adverse musculoskeletal changes.
Side notes:
Many adverse conditions attributed to aging can be prevented by preventing adverse musculoskeletal changes. Wearing rings around the neck is an unnatural method that produces unnatural consequences.
The only ways to prevent and also to reverse adverse musculoskeletal changes are postural and motor skill exercises, as well as certain leisure and occupational physical activities that positively affect motor skill and posture.
Although the exact reasons for wearing rings or brass coils around the neck have been lost in time, and what makes it even more complicated to understand is the fact that the Kayan women wear coils also around their knees, ankles and wrists, the custom of putting rings or brass coils around the neck should be considered as an ancient weight loss surgery that is a non-invasive surgery, it is absolutely effective in preventing excessive weight gain, and at the same time it is absolutely effective in controlling the body shape.
The fact that all women who practice the custom of putting a series of brass rings around the neck have a lean body shape and that they have body shapes similar to each other, tells us that manipulating musculoskeletal changes is a highly effective method to manipulate the weight and shape of the body.
Please Note! Any possible suggestions to wear rings around the neck in order to prevent or treat adverse musculoskeletal changes, or to prevent, treat or cure obesity should be regarded as insanity.
13. The Reason and Science
behind Weight Loss Surgeries (Bariatric Surgeries)
In the case of weight loss surgery, it is clear why people came to the idea to reduce body weight. Namely, people came to the idea to reduce the weight of the body because they rightly think that excessive body mass is not something normal, it is directly or indirectly related to many negative health conditions.
Side Note: If we take a look at the women and men who lost weight after undergoing WLS, it will be obvious that the more weight they lose, the longer their necks appears compared to the length of their neck before weight loss.
The question; why did they come to the idea of surgical intervention to treat obesity? It is hard to answer not because it is a mystery, but because it is obvious why they came to such an idea. George Bernard Shaw once said: "No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious." Well, on the question why people came to the idea to put something in the stomach (lap band surgery), and why they come to the idea to amputate part of the stomach in order to treat obesity the answer is obvious, namely; they come to those ideas of surgical intervention to treat obesity because they didn't know that some amount of energy in food intake will be excreted as metabolic waste. Namely, they didn't know that stool contains calories.
Side note: The irony is that the majority of people will find it impossible to believe that surgical intervention for weight loss is invented because the medical professionals didn't know that human excrement contains calories.
Analysing some other examples, it is not surprising that people are reluctant to confront with this blunder in medical science. The example of children abused by paedophile clergymen show that many devoted followers couldn't believe that something like that could happen. Some of them could confront with the fact that child abuse could have happened by a few bad clergymen, but they couldn't comprehend that the responsible religious authority tried to cover and hide from their followers, even if their actions will put many children in danger of being abused.
Such action has caused outrage from the rest of society, mostly from those who don't belong to those religions whose priest have abused children.
In the case of the blunder for which surgical intervention for weight loss is based, and the fact that many established scientists tried to hide that from the public, there is no outrage from the public. The health correspondents and the media in general ignored this fact and it is very likely that the majority of them are still not aware that the basic science of weight gain and weight loss is created by scientists who didn't know that some amount of food intake will be excreted as metabolic waste. It is very likely that the fear from undesirable health conditions and premature death is what leads people not wanting to hear that something is wrong with medical science. They are hungry to hear news about new breakthroughs in medical science, they don't' like to hear that something is wrong because it will make them more afraid from undesirable health conditions and premature death.
George Bernard Shaw said: "We have not lost faith, but we have transferred it from God to the medical profession." I think it would be better if he said: We have not lost faith; but we have transferred it from religious professionals to medical professionals. I don't find anything wrong with people who believe in God, and there is nothing wrong with people who believe in science. The problem is when people who mistake trust in God with trust in religious professionals, and with people who mistake trust in science with trust in established medical scientists and/or trust in reputable scientific institutions.
Child abuse was done by a small number of clergymen and the majority of clergymen are shocked and deeply sorry for the victims but still, they don't find it useful to expose those clergymen who abused children because it would damage the reputation of their religious institution and in their opinion, that could produce a much bigger tragedy than a child being sexually abused from a paedophile clergymen, namely it could make some people leave the religion, and in their belief that would result in a terrible afterlife. In their opinion, being in hell forever is far more terrible than being abused by paedophile clergymen. In my opinion, that must be the reason that for religious officials, the reputation of their religious institution was more important than the prevention of sexual abuse of children by paedophile priests.
For many people, the reputation of medical scientific institutions is far more important than people suffering from obesity and the suffering brought by medical treatments based on pseudoscience. Exposing the pseudoscience and the treatment based on pseudoscience may damage the reputation of established scientists and may lead people to mistrust future progress in medical science. I suppose in their opinion, the reward of inevitable progress in medical science will be so beneficial for people that exposing a pseudoscience may delay future progress of medical science.
The fact that needs to be confronted with is that the basic biology is polluted with pseudo theories. Children all over the world in their biology class are learning theories of anabolism and catabolism, Krebs Cycle, etc. and it is very hard to tell children that those theories are wrong. Namely, the theories of anabolism and catabolism are created because scientists didn't know that human body excrete calories. The anabolism and catabolism theories are a basis for any approach to weight management and still they are regarded as unquestionable science.
The science, or better to say, the pseudoscience of weight management started with counting calories followed by the anabolism/catabolism theories, was founded when the problem of obesity was unknown. At that time, the problem of being underweight among children was far bigger than being overweight, and among children obesity was non-existent. The inability to confront with this pseudoscience has resulted in unsuccessful attempts to combat obesity, and has created the epidermis of eating disorders.
14. Similarity and
Differences between Weight Loss Surgeries and Putting the Rings (brass coils)
around the Neck
Putting rings around the neck started a long time before people encountered the problem of obesity, but on the example of people who practice the Asian custom of wearing rings around the neck it can help to understand the mechanism of weight loss induced by surgical intervention for weight loss.
Weight loss surgery involves putting the band around the stomach (lap band WLS), or putting the staples in the stomach and at the same time, amputating part of the stomach (gastric bay pass WLS). In the end, all known weight loss surgeries involves an invasive method of putting some object in the stomach alone (lap band) or combined with amputating part of the stomach (gastric bypass WLS).
The purpose of WLS is to restrict the amount of food intake.
The purpose of putting rings around the neck is to grow a long neck.
Both bariatric surgery and putting rings around the neck have a latent effect on the body weight and shape. Only the method of putting rings around the neck is absolutely effective in preventing weight gain, and WLS is not so effective.
Putting rings around the neck involves the non-invasive method of altering the normal size of the neck over a period of time. A person has to wear rings around the neck for a considerable amount of time in order to elongate his neck.
Performing WLS involves an invasive method of altering the digestive organs, and it is done immediately by surgery like putting some object around the digestive organ called the stomach, or by amputating the part of the stomach etc. the effect of the surgery is achieved immediately.
In reality, WLS induces a similar effect as putting rings around the neck. An extensive explanation is in the article; The Underlining Mechanism of Weight Loss Induced by Bariatric Surgery (Weight Loss Surgery) in Part 1, Chapter 11.
In the case of Lap Band Weight Loss Surgeries, the patient has to wear a thing (lap band, staples, etc.) put in his stomach for a considerable amount of time in order to lose excessive weight, or at least to lose some percentage of excessive body weight.
Actually, after certain weight loss surgeries [removal of a portion of the stomach - (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery)], patients don't have any other option than to endure the presence of some object (staples, etc.) in his abdominal cavity for the rest of his/her life.
a) Putting rings around the neck is reversible.
b) Putting the lap band around the digestive organ called the stomach (lap-band surgery) is reversible by additional invasive surgery.
c) Amputating part of the stomach is irreversible.

Marcus Hiles - Networking Through Wine Sharing
Marcus Hiles is a wine lover, and he is also a highly successful business person who has had an interesting history. He grew up in humble surroundings in the inner city where his father was a minister. The family did not enjoy many luxuries. In fact, he says that "It was a big day to have donuts or ice cream." This individual is exemplary if you are interested in the bootstrapping phenomenon. Though his family was not well off financially, they apparently understood the value of a good education.
He got a masters degree from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, and he also graduated from Rice University. Rice is in Houston, and he decided to embark on a business career in the Lone Star State. When he was just 28 years of age, he founded the company that we now know as Western Rim Property Services. He had very limited resources at that time, and in the early days, he sometimes had difficulty making the payroll. Everything that he earned went back into the business, and he drew from his childhood experiences to get by with very little so that his business could expand.
As the business began to prosper, Marcus Hiles started to develop an interest in wine. To be successful in business, networking is very important. It can be difficult to get "face time" with powerful decision-makers, but many high-level people enjoy fine wine. Marcus Hiles developed an enviable wine collection, and he had the ability to use wine tasting events for networking purposes.

The fat lady has sung, and the money has been sent to the three causes I chose:
One by One Until There Are None (http://www.facebook.com/groups/382239931873396/), a group that fundraises for specific animals to come to the UK for rehoming.
Serbia's Forgotten Paws (http://www.facebook.com/groups/serbiasforgottenpaws/ or http://www.forgotten-paws.com/ ) , a group that fundraises for the rescue, treatment and rehoming of animals (mainly dogs) in Nis, Serbia.
Irinia Neblea (http://www.facebook.com/irina.neblea?fref=ts), a young woman who, with only her poorly mother to help her, cares for 60+ animals at her self-built rescue centre in Constanta, Romania, with no running water, no car to get her to the supermarket or the vet, who carries and pushes on a cart many litres of water and many kilos of food each day, who builds kennels and disinfects the land with her own hands and a brush.... I could go on. I thank all the fates that I have been able to raise funds to help her a little towards recovering - at least financially - from a recent devastating outbreak of distemper at the shelter. I know that my contributions are a drop in her personal ocean, but I also know that they are a help and that makes me feel good. I have also spread the word about her and she has received donations from at least three people because of that - thank you to J, M and S who have big hearts.
Each cause benefited from sponsorship money to the tune of £66, which I know will be used wisely.
I learned lessons from this challenge. I now know that I can live quite easily on £1 a day at today's prices, but that I cannot do so in a way that will keep me healthy. I learned that when you have little you don't waste any of it - you scrub carrots and potatoes, you do not peel them, because that peel may make the difference between going to bed comfortable or going to bed hungry. Literally. I learned that only refined pasta is cheap enough to eat on £1 a day; you can't afford to pay someone to leave the fibre in. Go figure. I learned that people are generous when you are honestly doing something to try to help. I have also learned that it is the same names, over and over, that you see offering donations and sponsorships. I have learned a lot, but already just a couple of weeks later I can feel those lessons fading into the background (apart from the donations one - I keep getting reminders of that).
And the next challenge is Ben's. I will spare you the photograph, but Ben is a dog who died un-named shortly after rescue from an inhumane "shelter" in Romania. I named him posthumously, because he epitomises the barbarity of those "shelters" in these countries where dogs are largely regarded as vermin to be poisoned, beaten, kicked or stoned to death. Somehow naming him felt like the decent thing to do, and I would rather he be remembered as Ben than as that dog in the awful photo.
Ben's challenge is open to anyone who would like to raise money for the dogs that are still savable from the same "shelter". The idea is that you take £10 of your own money (or whatever you can afford) and use it to invest in any way you choose, with a view to making it grow. You might buy cheap and sell for more, or buy ingredients and bake things to sell, or buy materials and *make* things to sell. Or you could go door to door offering your services to mow lawns or clean cars. Anything that will grow that original £10 stake into more than £10, for the animals. Then you send your profits (with or without the original £10, depending on your circumstances - entirely up to you) to me. When we have a sensible amount, it will go to Valcea, for the animals for whom it is not too late, in Ben's name. I think this is a *good* plan, and nobody loses anything except a little time. Please visit Ben's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/events/340458212749674/. Even if you don't fancy joining in, there might be something there that you'd like to buy :o)
|See this? (The string, not the cd. Ignore the cd)
|It's turned into this, over at Ben's £10 Challenge!

Sad news from Hemmings. Robert "Bob" Nixon, best known as having penned the exterior design of the Gremlin and Pacer (as well as my first car, a 1965 Rambler American and my current, squared-off 1968 Rambler American station wagon) has passed away at age 86. While best-known for his design portfolio at AMC, he started his career at Chrysler and came full circle, retiring at Chrysler in 1992 after its 1987 acquisition of AMC.
As time allows today I will post photos of designs he was responsible for, my favorite being the 1964 restyle of the Rambler American. The photo below, of the 1964 Rambler American 440 convertible is a car I once owned. I always loved the recessed Chrysler Turbine Car-like headlights.
A towering figure in the industry, literally and figuratively, he is responsible for two of the most unusual designs ever; the Gremlin and Pacer, as well as the more mainstream AMC small cars like the America, Javelin, AMX, and Hornet, including the 1972 Sportabout station wagon and the beautiful and well-balanced 1973 Hornet hatchback.

Remove tappet assemblies from engine being sure that each one is kept with it'soriginal tappet block. NOTE: This procedure is the preferred method of installation. However, kit can be installed without removing lifters from engine. 2. Remove hydraulic piston retaining wire clip from one assembly at a time. Be careful not to bend wire clip during disassembly. 3. Completely disassemble tappet removing all parts. 4. Thoroughly clean all parts including tappet body. Remove any oil which might prevent hydraulic unit from fully collapsing during adjustment. 5. Insert one spacer from S&S HL 2 Tkit in tappet body. 6. Reassemble tappet in reverse order making sure original parts arereturned to their original positions. See Picture1. 7. Replace wire retaining clip in tappet body. 8. Put tappet back in original tappet block. 9. Repeat Steps 2 through 8 for three remaining tappets. 10. Reassemble engine with modified tappets. 11. Adjust pushrods. NOTE – In all cases engine must be cold and lifter must be at lowest point of travel for pushrod adjustment To prevent accidents, remove ground cable from battery. A. Remove spark plugs. B. Bring piston to TDC on compression stroke in cylinder to be adjusted. Normally both tappets will be at their lowest point of travel. C. Extend pushrod adjustment, collapsing lifter until piston assembly is in contact with HL 2 Tspacer and pushrod is tight. If tappets contain oil, as when pushrods are readjusted after engine has been run, or if all oil was not removed during installation, extend pushrod adjustment until valve is open (about five additional turns of adjusting screw). Allow 5 minutes for hydraulic unit to bleed down. If pushrod can be turned with fingers after bleeding down, lifter is not completely collapsed, and this step must be repeated. NOTE – perform this operation on one cylinder at a time. Do not turn engine until pushrod adjustment is complete. Turning engine while valve is held off the seat could result in valve to valve or valve to piston contact and serious valve train damage. D. Loosen pushrod adjustment until pushrod can be rotated with the fingers with slight drag. NOTE – Shortening adjuster an additional six flats or full turn from zero lash often results in quieter pushrod operation. This provides additional travel for the hydraulic piston assembly, which can improve the ability of the hydraulic unit to maintain zerolash under normal operating conditions. E. Tighten lock nut. F. Follow the same procedure for all four push rods. G. Recheck pushrod adjustment after a few hundred miles. NOTES ● It is a good idea to recheck pushrod adjustment in a new engine as valve train may tighten up due to gasket compression and valve seat wear. ● Upon initial start up after modification, HL 2 Tequipped lifters may be somewhat noisy for 10-20 miles. If lifters are still noisy after 20 miles it is recommended that pushrods be adjusted 1⁄2 turnlooser. See step D

Putting the art in BART / Mosaics, murals and steel cows brighten up Oakland, Berkeley stations
For the latest in fine art, Bay Area patrons can visit a pantheon of cutting-edge venues: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Palace of Legion of Honor, MacArthur BART.
Uh, BART? Oh yes. There are steel cows in Berkeley, colorful tile mosaics at 16th Street and a giant shimmering sculpture at San Francisco International Airport, among others.
The 30-year-old transit agency has, in the past three years, undergone a public art renaissance, commissioning nine pieces for its stations and greenways, with four more on the way at SFO.
"The art makes the stations more livable, more integrated into the community. It gives them a human scale," said Laura Timothy, a senior planner at BART who heads the Art at BART project. "Basically, it makes it a better place to walk around."
The nine projects are at MacArthur, West Oakland and 12th Street in Oakland;
the Ohlone Greenway beneath the elevated tracks in Berkeley; Embarcadero and 16th Street (three projects) in San Francisco; and a traveling exhibition commemorating the Americans with Disabilities Act, which will eventually become a permanent installation at the Ashby station.
The artworks at the SFO stations include artist Ned Kahn's 6-foot-tall circular stainless steel piece made of 1-inch square disks attached to pins. The disks rotate when hit by a breeze, and so the whole sculpture will shimmer every time trains enter and leave the station.
That piece and the others in the SFO extension stations were funded with $1. 5 million from the federal government and other sources.
"These projects have a huge value," said San Francisco metal sculptor Amy Blackstone, who created four steel cows for the Ohlone Greenway. "They help make people feel happy and more connected to their communities. They just make for a healthier environment altogether."
BART's initial foray into the art world came in the late 1960s and early '70s, when the stations opened. BART organized a panel of art professionals to commission pieces for almost all the original stations. Over the years, pieces were added on a case-by-case basis, such as the Fire Wall at Rockridge and a tile mosaic at Fruitvale.
But when the late '90s boom added to BART's coffers, its board decided to revive the art program. Putting $250,000 into the project over two years, Art at BART was able to team with other agencies, such as the City of Oakland and the Ohlone Greenway Group, to commission a slew of sculptures, murals, mosaics and other artworks for BART stations.
Most of the artists who contributed were veterans of the public-art process,
so they were prepared for the bureaucracy and limitations that go with the job. They knew, for example, that negotiations could take years and their work would have to be approved by numerous boards - few members of which have any art knowledge.
They also knew their options for materials were somewhat limited - anything they used would have to be easy to scrub off graffiti, be able to withstand weather conditions and be relatively affordable. That's why all the new pieces are made of paint, steel or tile.
"The days are gone of horses on pedestals with a patina from 300 years of sea air and bird stuff," said Diana Pumpelly Bates, a San Jose sculptor who created three murals and a steel panel for the 12th Street station.
Despite the challenges, many artists say public art is among their most rewarding outlets.
"It's a very rich experience," Bates said. "And we all appreciate that effort to get more art out there in the world."
San Francisco artist Mark Adams has never used the MacArthur BART station. But the two will forever be linked.
Adams, known for his colorful tapestries, stained glass, paintings and mosaics, has created two projects for the busy Oakland transfer station. The first one, commissioned in 1968, was a tile mosaic on the wall above the stairwell. His second piece, a pair of enormous, abstract murals, will be finished within the next few weeks.
"I didn't realize how many people saw that first piece I did there," Adams said. "Occasionally someone will mention to me that they saw it, and I'm always amazed, especially after all these years."
Alas, his mosaic is no more. Two years ago, someone from BART called Adams to tell him the mosaic would have to be removed to make way for an elevator.
So Adams returned to the station for the first time since it went up to take a look at his piece.
"I must say I was quite impressed with how well it stood up," he said. "It was just absolutely perfect, after all those years. But I couldn't say it was so worthwhile that it precluded an elevator. My wife is handicapped, so I know exactly what that's like."
It was too expensive to move the mosaic, so he offered to create another one. But he and BART couldn't agree on a price until an art agent intervened and worked out a deal: Adams would design and paint murals on two other walls at the station, and BART would provide the paint and two painters to help with the work, plus a stipend for Adams.
"I'm not one to intellectualize my work. I just want to do something that makes people feel good and a little surprised, give them a charge on their way to work. Hopefully it'll be better than coffee," he said with a laugh.
Much of the new BART art takes its inspiration from the thousands of commuters who pour in and out of the stations day after day.
Oakland's 12th Street station recently came alive with three murals and a 4, 500-pound, 5-foot stainless steel panel, all by San Jose's Bates. The murals, each adorning a separate entrance to the busy downtown station, are titled "Coming and Going from Sunup to Sundown."
The metal panel, which was installed two weeks ago in front of De Lauer's news stand on Broadway, is called "Their Eyes Were Watching God," from the Zora Neale Hurston novel. It features a central area adorned with eyes glancing expectantly in different directions, surrounded by a representation of the Oakland hills.
Bates said: "It's supposed to suggest that something is about to happen, something is about to be born, and you never know what you're going to get."
Part of the appeal for artists to create public artworks is to have their work be viewed by millions. But there are other benefits.
Bates, who has also created sculptures for the City of Pleasanton and the Watt Avenue bridge over the American River in Sacramento, says the aspect she finds most rewarding is getting to know a new community - bureaucracy and all.
"When you do a piece of public art, you study and learn about and think about the community a lot - the history, location, need, function, budget - you get it all into one filter and all these things color the shape of things, " she said.
BART patrons at San Francisco's 16th Street station are greeted by a 40- foot-tall tile mosaic carrying a message from 250 neighborhood kids, their parents and other community members: Respect.
The piece, titled "Youth Rights," was sponsored and paid for by BART and St.
John's Education Thresholds Center, a tutoring and after-school program in the Mission. High school students from the center, with the help of lead artist Gary Carlos and Urban Institute director Ali Vieira, made the tiles by hand, broke and cut them into shapes, fired and painted them, then mortared and grouted the piece. The process took more than seven months.
The mosaic has four themes: community, opportunity, power and rights and respect. Symbols such as stars, people, birds and keys tie the themes into a single vision.
In the two years since it was unveiled, the piece has never been vandalized.
Those who worked on it still stop by to show it off to friends, said Vieira.
"The kids are really proud of it," she said. "It's a permanent, public piece of work that will have lasting impact. And it was really fun to make."
While working on the project, some students found that they have a talent for art and used their contributions to the mosaic in portfolios for art school, said Vieira.
The project, she said, brightens up one of the busiest and highest-profile spots in the neighborhood.
"It's a constant reminder of the positive things youth in this neighborhood are doing. They're not just all hoodlums," she said. "A lot of good has come from this - you don't realize how much impact something like this has, but it really can make a difference."
In Contra Costa County, San Francisco artist Win Ng designed and executed a 100-by-16-foot mural in paint and plaster stretching along one wall of the concourse level at the Orinda station. The abstract geometric design was done in gray and ocher, and completed in the early 1970s.
The El Cerrito Plaza and El Cerrito Del Norte stations were awarded national design honors by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Alfonso Pardinas created and executed longitudinal glass wall mosaics, which are located on the station walls between the concourse and platform levels.
In Lafayette, three bright, multicolored glass mosaic columns depicting trees, birds and animals designed by Berkeley artist Helen Webber bring out a spirited and lively mood throughout the station. Alfonso Pardinas rendered the mosaic work.
And the Richmond station sports a design by William Mitchell of England, who created the deep-relief sculpture of fiberglass and natural materials located on the concourse level. Contrasting orange and earth-tone colors enriching intricate geometric shapes imparts an Aztec accent to the station.
If you're very quiet, you can almost hear the mooing in North Berkeley. That is, in the three-minute intervals between BART trains.
Four steel cows, created Blackstone, graze peacefully beneath shade trees on the Ohlone Greenway, a stretch of grass and gardens beneath the elevated BART tracks between Gilman and Peralta streets. They fit in so well that neighbors have outfitted them with cowbells and ribbons.
"They're supposed to replicate the agricultural history of the area. For a minute, you can space out and imagine what it used to be like," Blackstone said. "Then the BART train comes barreling past and puts you right back in the present."
The cows, installed in August, are made of three-eighths-inch steel, which over time will rust. Three are two-dimensional, and one is turned at an angle to seem three-dimensional. They have names - Elsie, Ferdinand, Laxmi and Kali. The latter two names were given by the Nepalese engineers who helped install them.
"I'm very pleased with the way they turned out," Blackstone said. "With public art, you're always curious as to how the public will respond. The cows seem to have brought the neighborhood together in a really positive way. That delights me."
Blackstone, who has a studio in Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, usually works on gates. The cows are one of her few forays into public sculpture. She's well aware of the goodwill that BART's art project generates - not just among artists and art lovers, but among BART's riders.
"Public art produces joy, a feeling of pride - it says that beauty matters, we matter," she said. "And for BART, it shows that they're not just some huge bureaucracy. These are real people, and they care about people's spirits."
PUBLIC WORKSHere is a list of the artwork at BART stations.
Ohlone Greenway, Berkeley
Four steel cows by San Francisco artist Amy Blackstone, as well as ceramic signs, a history exhibit, numerous other sculptures and a garden adorn the BART property around the elevated tracks between Peralta and Gilman streets.
Ohlone Park, Berkeley
Painted on the four-sided concrete BART vent structure is a mural by American Indian artist Jean LaMarr of Susanville. The mural honors the Ohlone Indians and includes portraits of descendants from the Bay Area's indigenous tribes. The Friends of Ohlone Park, a Berkeley volunteer neighborhood organization, funded the artwork. The park is at Hearst Avenue and Milvia streets.
MacArthur, Oakland
San Franciscan Mark Adams is creating a pair of red-orange-blue-and-black murals covering huge portions of two walls just outside the station entry.
12th Street, Oakland
San Jose sculptor Diana Pumpelly Bates created three murals and a 4,500- pound, 5-foot stainless steel panel. The murals are titled "Coming and Going from Sunup to Sundown." The metal panel in front of De
Lauer's newsstand on Broadway, is called "Their Eyes Were Watching God," from the Zora Neale Hurston novel.
Embarcadero Station
"Wall Canyon" by Berkeley artist Steven de Staebler dominates the west end wall of the station. The 37-foot sculpture rises piece-by-piece from the train platform to the concourse. Also on display is a granite relief of the late Tallie Maule, chief architect for BART consulting engineers, by architect William Cullen, who donated the piece; "Nomex," Berkeley artist Barbara Shawcroft's woven rope sculpture made of the special nonflammable plastic; a freestanding sculpture by Berkeley artist Doug Heine called MJKK; and "Spin," a work by Robert Ellison that serves as industrial art security panels on the bike station.
16th and 24th streets, San Francisco
British artist William Mitchell designed heavy, cast-concrete wall sculptures that line the entrances leading from street level in both stations.
At 16th Street, a tile mosaic depicting community, opportunity, power and respect was created by teenagers from the St. John's Educational Threshold Center in the Mission District.
Also at 16th Street, soon-to-be-completed works include a mural by artists Jos Sances and Daniel Galvez, a tile community board and railing depicting hummingbirds and sundials by artist Victor Zaballa and engineer Larry Berk.
The following stations are part of the BART extension to San Francisco International Airport. The artworks were funded by federal money. The art will be unveiled in early 2003:
South San Francisco
Jeff Northam of Pescadero and Rufus Seder of Boston designed 16 "animated" murals made up of old photos of the area that are layered on glass panels.
San Bruno
Gordon Huether and Christine Stone, both of Napa, created two stained glass windows for the station.
Scott Donahue of Emeryville created six bronze sculptures and Donna Billick of Davis designed 42 terrazzo benches. Most pieces incorporate Peninsula history, flora and fauna.
San Francisco International Airport
"Wind Portal," a 6-foot-tall circular stainless steel piece made of 1-inch squares attached to pins, was created by Sebastopol sculptor Ned Kahn. The installation shimmers as trains enter and leave the station.
There is also this traveling exhibit:
A 200-tile mural on panels celebrates the Americans with Disabilities Act. Co-funded by BART and the nonprofit arts group Integrated Arts, the mural will eventually be permanently installed at the Ashby BART station. It currently is at Center for Accessible Technology, 2525 Eighth St. in Berkeley. -- Source: BART

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/21/2018 -- Some of the key players operating in the global tissue engineered collagen biomaterials market are Collagen Matrix Inc., Medtronic, Advanced BioMatrix Inc., Kyeron B.V., Collagen Matrix, Collagen Solutions Plc., CollPlant Ltd., Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, GENOSS Co., Ltd., and Maxigen Biotech Inc.
Request for Sample Copy of Report @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=27938
Key strategies adopted by such players to progress in the global tissue engineered collagen biomaterials market are mergers and acquisitions and carefully-considered distribution agreements. Medtronic, for example, acquired Covidien, a global healthcare products company, in January 2016 to become the foremost player in the medical device industry.
As per a report by Transparency Market Research, the global tissue engineered collagen biomaterial market will likely progress at a robust CAGR of 10.4% during the period between 2017 and 2025 to become worth US$5.4 bn in 2025 from US$ 2.2 bn in 2016.
Based on application, the global tissue engineered collagen biomaterial market can be divided into orthopedics, wound care, etc. Among them, the orthopedics segment is estimated to account for maximum market share due to the numerous applications in bone, tendon, and ligament injuries of collagen. As per a release by the National Osteoporosis Foundation in 2014, about 54 million people over 50 years of age in the U.S. are affected by low bone mass and osteoporosis. This has helped catalyze growth in the market.

Geographically, the key segments of the global market for tissue engineered collagen biomaterial are North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. At present, North America leads the market and is expected to continue doing so in the near future too. This is because of the presence of a solid manufacturing infrastructure and increasing collagen applications across various industries. Further, growing thrust on research to develop unique solutions for tissue engineering will lead to emergence of many collagen-based products, namely bone graft substitutes and wound repair products. This will likely boost the market even more. The TMR report predicts the North America market to become worth US$17 bn by 2025.
Tissue engineering entails developing tissue and organs. Collagen is a class of protein and collagen-based biomaterial applications is seeing widespread application in the tissue engineering sector. "Rigorous research and development activities in regenerative medicine and rising use of collagen as bone substitutes are the major growth drivers in the tissue engineered collagen biomaterial market. Moreover, the use of collagen in wound healing offers numerous benefits in terms of stimulating tissue growth and ensuring relief for a variety of injuries on bones and tissues, which, in turn, is fuelling the market," explains the lead analyst of the report.
On the flipside, however, non-rigidity and potential for antigenicity through telopeptides and collagen materials have the potential to cause cell behavior alteration. This is serving to act as a deterrent to the global tissue engineered collagen biomaterial market. In addition, the transmission of lethal diseases such as mad-cow disease and bird flu and growing number of government regulations for quality assurance of animal derived products are also posing a roadblock to the market.

The acquisition adds a complementary mix of medium and heavy truck products to the Freightliner lineup, says President/CEO Jim Hebe. However the new - yet to be named - lineup of Class 8 trucks and the Cargo will stay with the current Ford dealer network. Sales, marketing and aftermarket support will be handled by Freightliner. Hebe, a former Kenworth dealer and executive, balks at parallels with Paccar's Kenworth and Peterbilt divisions. He says Freightliner will combine resources for maximum utilization but will have two distinct distribution networks.
"The customer base has virtually no overlap," notes Hebe. An analysis of last year's production showed Freightliner heavy truck sales running 89% sleeper equipped while only 20% of the Ford heavies built were sleepers. Target markets are different. Freightliner's linehaul trucks have helped propel it to the number one overall Class 8 market position, but the company hasn't done well in vocational segments such as oil delivery, tankers, municipal vehicles and construction applications. Ford has been successful in these niches, creating what some call the market for the "Little Red Dump Truck." A study of Ford customers some years ago reportedly placed it high on the list for vocational applications but low for over-the-road trucks.
The Freightliner/Ford lineup would see the new HN80 models - AeroMax and Louisville - in niche roles: the AeroMax as a cost-conscious day-cab tractor for heavy distribution fleets, the Louisville in vocational applications.
"I think the HN80, in the niches where it was designed to be targeted, is far and away the best product. Ford did a really excellent job of niching it," Hebe says.There may be other HN80 products down the road. Ford was poised to launch several new vocational versions, including a short 101-inch BBC tractor and a 120-inch long-nose conventional. A medium duty truck is scheduled for introduction this year and Hebe confirmed it will form part of the new lineup. A 77-inch sleeper cab, the AeroLiner, was also in Ford's development plans but will likely get the thumbs down from Freightliner.
The Cargo gets a second chance. Ford began importing the low cab forward from Brazil in the mid-1980s and has built them at its Kentucky Truck Plant since 1991. But low volumes - about 26,000 total - prompted Ford to begin phasing out the line last year. Low demand for medium duty cabovers also hurt the launch of Freightliner's Business Class. But Hebe says the Cargo is a ready-made product to gain incremental sales and give Freightliner a fully rounded product offering.
Ford's decision to get out of heavy trucks came after "a thorough strategic review" and the conclusion that they should concentrate on high-volume light and medium trucks, says Jim Donaldson, Truck Vehicle Center vp. Once that decision was made the deal was "a very short time in the making," John Merrifield, heavy truck sales and marketing manager said. Ford, he says, initiated the contact.
The sale will allow some housecleaning at the Kentucky plant. According to Hebe, heavy truck production accounts for only 10% of total KTP volume, but requires 40% of the space. Removal of heavy truck manufacturing frees capacity for the F-250, F-350 and Super-Duty pickup trucks - plus a new medium duty truck and new light duty truck due out next year.
Freightliner's not saying where it will build the new line; Hebe won't rule out a new facility, but calls it a long shot. But, as one Ford insider noted, they're a "very agile" producer. "Freightliner manufacturing is nimble at its ordinary way of doing things, not extraordinary like Ford's," he said. "We put out a pretty good product, but it takes us a long time." Some speculate that Freightliner will be able to cut manufacturing costs of the former Ford trucks, making them even more price competitive.
Ford dealers are generally pleased. "Long term, it's the best thing that could happen to us," one told HDT. Ford's parts and service support, some say, has been a weak link in the heavy truck program. Freightliner's parts and service operation is considered to be strong. Hebe gets high marks and, after years of speculation regarding Ford's commitment to the market, most said they are just pleased to "have a supplier that will be there and be aggressive."
Both companies are close-mouthed regarding transaction details, but financial analysts speculate that Freightliner got a $200 million bargain, and Ford got out of the business while keeping faith with its dealers. Timing hasn't been officially announced, but in a letter to employees Donaldson said they expect to have a definitive agreement in the next few weeks and to close the sale by year-end or early '98. One possible holdup: government approval. With Ford's 9%, Freightliner will have almost 40% of Class 8 market.
It will take some time for personnel to be sorted out, but Merrifield says Ford people will all be accommodated within the company. "The asset sale involves products, drawings and service and parts business. No people involved," he says. "Ford people don't have to go to work for Freightliner. But Ford would not prohibit an employee from working for Freightliner."

The Music Department at King's College London is pleased to host the editorial offices of Eighteenth-Century Music, a journal published by Cambridge University Press. The editors are Cliff Eisen (King's College London) and W. Dean Sutcliffe (St Catharine's College, Cambridge); the reviews editor is Simon Keefe (Queen's University, Belfast). Contact details are given below.
The journal is intended as a forum for all 'long' eighteenth-century music research (from ca. 1670 to ca. 1830), thus attempting to overcome the divisions so characteristic not only of the historiography of this century but also the scholarly methodologies normally associated with it. To this end, the editors welcome not only traditional source, analytical, historical and performance practice studies, but also interdisciplinary contributions, tapping into the institutional strengths of many other areas of eighteenth-century research. In addition to standard journal-length articles and book reviews, Eighteenth-Century Music also includes a number of less usual features such as shorter articles (based on the model of the 'kleine Beiträge' in some German journals: short reports on newly-discovered sources or documents, succinct analytical observations or even kite-flying hypotheses), reviews of books, editions and recordings, and an extensive 'communications' section intended to facilitate better and more flexible scholarly exchange.
The editors would be delighted to receive submissions (four copies please) at the editorial address below, as well as offers to review books, editions, recordings and eighteenth-century conferences.

Reflections on research data management
Reflections on research data management: RDM is on the up and up but data driven policy development seems a long way off.
The Research Data Management movement is moving on apace. Tools are working and adoption is growing. Policy development is starting to back up the use of those tools and there are some big ambitious goals set out for the next few years. But has the RDM movement taken the vision of data intensive research to its heart? Does the collection, sharing, and analysis of data about research data management meet our own standards? And is policy development based on and assessed against that data? Can we be credible if it is not?
Watching the discussion on research data management over the past few years has been an exciting experience. The tools, that have been possible for some years, now show real promise as the somewhat raw and ready products of initial development are used and tested.
Practice is gradually changing, if unevenly across different disciplines, but there is a growing awareness of data and that it might be considered important. And all of this is being driven increasingly by the development of policies on data availability, data management, and data archiving that stress the importance of data as a core output of public research.
The vision of the potential of a data rich research environment is what is driving this change. It is not important whether individual researchers, or even whole community, gets how fundamental a change the capacity to share and re-use data really is. The change is driven by two forces fundamentally external to the community.
The first is political, the top down view from government that publicly funded research needs to gain from the benefits they see in data rich commerce. A handful of people really understand how data works at these scales but these people have the ear of government.
The second force is one of competition. In the short term adopting new practices, developing new ways of doing research, is a risk. In the longer term, those who adopt more effective and efficient approaches will simply out compete those who do not or can not. This is already starting happening in those disciplines already rich in shared data and the signs are there that other disciplines are approaching a tipping point.
Data intensive research enables new types of questions to be asked, and it allows us to answer questions that were previously difficult or impossible to get reliable answers on. Questions about weak effects, small correlations, and complex interactions. The kind of questions that bedevil strategic decision-making and evidence based policy.
So naturally you'd expect that the policy development in this area, being driven by people excited by the vision of data intensive research, would have deeply embedded data gathering, model building, and analysis of how research data is being collected, made available, and re-used.
I don't mean opinion surveys, or dipstick tests, or case studies. These are important but they're not the way data intensive research works. They don't scale, they don't integrate, and they can't provide the insight into the weak effects in complex systems that are needed to support decision making about policy.
Data intensive research is about tracking everything, logging every interaction, going through download logs, finding every mention of a specific thing wherever on the web it might be.
It's about capturing large amounts of weakly structured data and figuring out how to structure it in a way that supports answering the question of interest. And its about letting the data guide you the answers it suggests, rather than looking within it for what we "know" should be in there.
What I don't see when I look at RDM policy development is the detailed analysis of download logs, the usage data, the click-throughs on website. Where are the analyses of IP ranges of users, automated reporting systems, and above all, when new policy directions are set where is the guidance on data collection and assessment of performance against those polcies?
Without this, the RDM community is arguably doing exactly the same things that we complain about in researcher communities. Not taking a data driven view of what we are doing.
I know this is hard. I know it involves changing systems, testing things in new ways, collecting data in ways we are not used. Even imposing disciplinary approaches that are well outside the comfort zone of those involved.
I also know there are pockets of excellent practice and significant efforts to gather and integrate information. But they are pockets. And these are exactly the things that funders and RDM professionals and institutions are asking of researchers. They are the right things to be asking for, and we're making real progress towards realizing the vision of what is possible with data intensive research.
But just imagine if we could support policy development with that same level of information. At a pragmatic and political level it makes a strong statement when we "eat our own dogfood". And there is no better way to understand which systems and approaches are working and not working than by using them ourselves.

I like to think of myself as an alternative wedding photographer. If you book me, it's because you want your wedding photographs to be a little bit different.
This probably all sounds a bit pretentious, so I apologise. But I use photographs to tell the story of your day. Each wedding is beautifully different and it's these moments that I love to capture. The real moments. The people, the emotion and the details. Your wedding photographs will be one of your most treasured possessions. Through them you will be able to relive that day for years to come. That's why I find being a wedding photographer such a privilege. And that's why I take so much pride in my work.
Formal photographs have their place but I like to capture the spirit of your day. It's the small things. A smile. A glance. The laughter. The love. Those moments are equally memorable.
My pricing is fair and simple. I'm sure in your search for a wedding photographer you will have seen different packages containing items you may or may not want. You can tailor my services to suit your needs.
A mix of creative reportage. I prefer to document what I see than set groups of people up. It's all about capturing the natural emotion for me.
I love the emotion. Meeting new people and capturing one of the most important days of their lives is incredible. I've never had a job with some much job satisfaction.
I travel all over the UK and abroad

When God Regrets
The openness of the future is illustrated in the Bible's depictions of God as grieving the outcome of decisions he himself has made. Regarding the incredible wickedness of humanity before Noah, for example, we read, "The Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart" (Gen 6:6). How could the Lord possibly be sorry for making humanity if he was eternally certain they would turn out exactly this way when he created them?
Some interpret this expression as anthropomorphic. But we must ask, "What is this an anthropomorphic expression of?" If the Lord didn't really regret his decision to make humans, what does the expression that tells us he did regret making humans truthfully communicate to us? Suppose that God truly wanted to tell us that he sometimes truly regrets decisions. How could he do so in terms any clearer than in this passage?
Another example of God's regret is found in the story of King Saul. God had intended to bless Saul and his descendants (1 Sam 13:13), but Saul's behavior as king altered God's intentions. After his appointed king chose a rebellious course of action, the Lord told Samuel, "I regret that I made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me (1 Sam 15:11). And again the author writes, "And the Lord was sorry that he had made Saul king over Israel" (1 Sam 15:35). The Lord could only be sorry for making Saul king if he had hoped for a different outcome than what transpired. And this would mean that Saul's fate was not a foregone conclusion when God made him king.
God took a risk in making Saul king. The risk depended on choices Saul made. When Saul thwarted God's purposes, God suffered a loss. This created the experience of regret. The open view of the future teaches that God hopes each individual will turn to him and walk in his ways. But if love is the aim, then freedom is the means and risk is the price. Things may not, and did not, turn out as God would have hoped.
However, God is never at a loss concerning his response to rebellious agents. God knows all future possibilities, all future certainties, and is in control of the overall flow of history. He is never unprepared, and in his infinite wisdom he is able to redeem good out of evil in ways we could never anticipate.
Because the Lord possesses unlimited intelligence, he can attend to and anticipate numerous possibilities as thoroughly as if each one were the only future that could come about. Whichever possible course of action gets actualized, it is from God's perspective as thought this were the only course he had to concern himself with.
The open view sacrifices none of God's ability to respond to the future. Finite creatures have their intelligence stretched thin the more possibilities they have to entertain, but not God. When a person like Saul fails, God already has a person like David waiting in the wings. Scripture reveals a God who is utterly confident of his ability to achieve his overall purposes despite the sinful rebellion of his creation. So confident is he, in fact, that he is willing to risk some loss with free agents in order to open the possibility of fellowship with them throughout eternity. He is willing to suffer frustration, disappointment and grief in order to share the joy of this triune being with others.
—Adapted from Satan and the Problem of Evil, pages 102-104

As it turns out, some of the most successful people who have ever lived were people who got stuff done one step at a time. Everyone wants to succeed at the big stuff—but it's when you develop an eye for the 'smaller' things that you really begin to make the world a better place.
Not as many people care about the smaller things—but small things add up to make big things. Long-term goals are achieved in small portions, and small portions of goals are achieved in our daily routines and rituals. Choosing to succeed often begins with the 'random' moments when nothing else is going on. What you choose to do with that extra day off, or even with that extra hour during the afternoon—these are the things that determine success.
If you ever feel limited by circumstances, then take heart in the fact that you are definitely not the only one who has felt that way. Many people give up because they don't have enough money, resources, or talent—but in truth, the only thing that you truly need for success is the willingness to move forward, to learn, and never to give up.
Never let alack of resources stop you from dreaming big. If you can't afford college right now, educate yourself and learn with library books while you save up for it. If you can't afford to buy that house right now, make your apartment the nicest in the building while you work toward buying something bigger. If you don't have the strength today to do 300 push ups, then do as many as you can—and then do crunches on top of that.
Do the very best with what you have to work with. Make yourself the most efficient professional in sight, and never miss an opportunity to work toward something better.

Traumatic Brain Injury; It Can Happen to Anyone
In June of 2014 comedian Tracy Morgan was riding on the New Jersey Turnpike in a limousine. Accompanied by friends, he was returning from a performance in Delaware. As his driver continued along the Turnpike near Cranbury, a truck driver operating an eighteen-wheeler approached their car. The semi-truck was driving about 20 mph over the posted speed limit and the driver had been awake for a consecutive 24 hours. The truck slammed into the back of the limo. Jimmy MacNair, a friend and fellow comedian died as a result of the crash. Morgan suffered broken bones and a brain injury as a result of the impact. Morgan was in a coma for several days after the accident. He woke to learn of his condition and the death of his friend. During his first public appearance since the accident, this month, Morgan told Today's Show Matt Lauer, "I have my good days and my bad days when I forget things. I am working on my memory and my walking."
As many who have been following this story know, Morgan has filed a personal injury lawsuit against Wal-Mart alleging that the truck driver, Kevin Roper, was negligent because he had been awake for more than 24 hours at the time of the crash and was suffering from fatigue. Roper was traveling about 20 miles per hour over the speed limit at the time of the accident. Morgan's accident brought fresh attention to the hazard of fatigued driving, or driving while tired. In many states, including Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. for example, a person who is injured by a fatigued driver may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover damages for their injuries, lost pay, medical bills, and pain and suffering. This is true regardless of whether they were wearing a seatbelt or not. Indeed, evidence of whether or not the victim was wearing a seatbelt, in many instances may be inadmissible at a trial on the matter.
Dangers of Fatigued Driving
The dangers associated with driver fatigue are well documented. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conservatively estimates that 100,000 crashes are caused by fatigue every year, resulting in 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and $12.5 billion in monetary losses.
Fatigued driving is more likely to occur when the driver is:
- An adult between 18 and 29;
- A male;
- An adult who has children;
- A shift worker; or
- Someone who suffers from a sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea or insomnia.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, being awake for 18 hours impaired drivers to the same extent as if they had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05%. Being awake for 24 hours was the same as having a BAC of 0.10%.
How Can Fatigued Driving Serve as the Basis of a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Many car accident lawsuits are grounded in the law of negligence. This law requires drivers to act with a reasonable manner of care. A driver who fails to drive with reasonable care and causes an accident can be liable for the injuries and/or property damage they cause. For example, in his lawsuit against Wal-Mart, Tracy Morgan alleged that the driver, Kevin Roper, had not taken reasonable care because he was awake for 24 hours at the time of the crash. Many trucking accidents are caused by driver fatigue, for example, because truck drivers are often on the road all night long to make short delivery windows.
Another legal theory related to negligence is negligence per se. Under negligence per se, an act can serve as the basis of a personal injury lawsuit if 1) that act was in violation of a statute or regulation, and 2) caused the type of harm that the statute or regulation was designed to prevent.
There are several federal laws in play that relate to fatigued driving. A new law, passed in 2013, places three limitations on drivers operating commercial vehicles (with a commercial drivers license.)
These Rules state that
- Drivers must take a mandatory half hour break within their first 8 hours on the road;
- Drivers must drive less than a maximum of 70 hours per week; and
- Drivers must have a 34-hour off-duty "restart" period once per week.
It is likely that many commercial drivers are not obeying these laws. There is because without electronic regulation systems in place, there is no way to truly know if a driver is taking the required break. Just because they record it in a log, doesn't necessarily mean it is occurring. Perhaps as we equip more and more vehicles with GPS tracking software and other kinds of mobile tracking data, we will figure out a way to force drivers to take the required breaks to cut-down on driver fatigue. Perhaps self-driving trucks will solve these problems?
Traumatic Brain Injury
Morgan's brain injury puts him among the 2.5 million people in the United States who suffer from the same condition. A traumatic brain injury ranges in severity depending upon the circumstances surrounding the injury. For example someone can suffer a "mild" TBI and have short-term changes in their mental status. In contrast, another victim could suffer a "severe" TBI and lose consciousness for an extended length of time and even suffer amnesia long after the accident. One of the primary determining factors in a TBI situation is the severity of the trauma to the head. As a TBI is caused by a blow to or jolt of the head, the intensity of the impact is an indication of the severity of the injury. The majority of TBIs are caused by a fall. Aside from impact another indicator of severity is the age of the victim. As people age their bodies cannot handle impact as easily and the damage to the brain can be more severe. More than two-thirds of TBIs in adults occur in patients over the age of 65. But, as the Center for Disease Control correctly points out, TBIs can happen to anyone because everyone is at risk.
Life After a Traumatic Brain Injury
Just as every patient is unique, the prognosis for a TBI will also differ dramatically from person to person. Dr. Douglas Smith, professor of neurosurgery and director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania, told reporters, "We're really missing information on how to provide a prognosis for these patients. Some become vibrant members of society again and if you met them you would never know they had had a brain injury. Other face a lifetime of disability." Smith went on to explain that the common issues associated with a TBI are memory function and "processing speed." In addition, people often struggle with maintaining appropriate conversations. While recovery can continue throughout the patient's lifetime, doctors warn patients that getting treatment right away is essential for the fullest recovery. As for Morgan, his tearful interview included his concerns that he might never get to be funny again.
