Musculoskeletal rehabilitation mainly refers to muscles and the supporting soft tissues and ligaments to the skeleton (bone).
To achieve optimal joint stability and control, chiropractors are concerned with ensuring patients have the correct balance, adequate motor control and muscle endurance capacity. Therefore, we are not only interested in reducing your pain, we aim and know it is necessary to improve your overall function. Thus, we want to ensure your musculoskeletal system is working optimally for you.
Musculoskeletal rehabilitation is advised on an individual needs basis, with specific exercises forming part of each of the seven levels in Romford and Ilford Family Chiropractic's unique approach to chiropractic neurological progression. There are over 160 different exercises available including:
- Gentle stretches
- Gentle Traction
- Strengthening exercises using the the Pilates machine
- Theraband (resistance) exercises/stretches with theraband
- Kettle bell workouts
- Swiss ball exercises
- Core stability exercises
Please note it is advisable to receive correct instruction from a qualified trainer before attempting any of the above.
The main aim of undertaking these exercises is to enhance and strengthen your posture, and to increase functional strength and support around the joints that protect your spine. Physical rehabilitation is used on the whole body, from ankles, knees, elbow, shoulder, hips to wrists and above.
The benefits of skeletal rehabilitation training
The benefits of regular exercises on the skeletal system can be dramatic. Bone is a living tissue. It constantly removes old, worn-out cells and creates new cells. Throughout childhood and adolescence, bone grows in density, reaching a peak between the ages of 20 and 30. After that, bone tends to lose more cells than it creates. Over time, the result is a more fragile skeletal system, made up of brittle bones that break more easily. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates the growth of new bone and can slow, prevent and even reverse bone loss.
A strong skeletal system gives you:
- Better posture
- Injury prevention and rehabilitation
- Increased protection and 'bracing' for your back
- Stable platform for sports movements
A weak musculoskeletal structure makes you susceptible to bone breakage and arthritis. When you have good musculoskeletal structure, the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen work in harmony. They provide support to your spine and help transmit increased power and performance for just about any activity.
Strong core muscles help minimise the chances of spinal pain and injury. A strong core aids spinal daily performance and aids to reduce and slow down osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, and wear and tear. As Dr. James Chestnut states*, the best medical scientific outcome for chronic (long term >6 weeks) neck and low back pain is with specific adjustments (manipulation) and regular physical rehabilitation. This has been the case for over the last 7 years!
*Dr James Chestnut Wellness book series – physical rehabilitation.
"I started the class to help complement my chiropractic care plan and strengthen my back. The results have been amazing and I have now advanced to level 3. I have no doubt that this has helped me to become stronger than before my injury."
Richard Ringer
"I didn't realize what a difference the exercises would make to my training and posture. I am now able to complete a much more demanding workout and recover much quicker. "
Lesley Prior
"The one to one tuition has helped me add new levels of progression to my yoga andpilates classes. Thank you!"

No question about it, confess to yourself. If you can't be honest with yourself, who can you be honest with?
If you believe in God, then confess to God. He knows anyway.
If you have a neutral third party you can trust, then confess to her. Confession is cleansing. It's a double check for bullshit. It returns you to the land of the righteous.
The only time confession might be questionable is when your confession brings harm to the person you've already harmed.
The idea is that your confession should not be at the expense of the person you harmed and cause him to go through grief so you can feel better. That doesn't seem to be the route to reconciliation. That road heads the wrong way. On the other hand, you're cutting yourself off from a powerful source of healing, you are underestimating your victim's capacity for grace, and you're crawling even further in the dog house than you belong.

Archroma's ONE WAY, introduced in October 2012, helps mills and brand owners to develop innovative textile solutions that are both more ecologically and economically sustainable. Our ultimate aim is to provide a fast, measurable and reliable approach to the selection of chemical product and process solutions. ONE WAY METHODOLOGY AND TOOLBOX To help customers meet their sustainability targets in a fast and reliable manner, the ONE WAY methodology takes a highly systematic approach to the selection of chemicals and production processes.
All ONE WAY dyes and chemicals can be almost instantly screened by Archroma's product stewardship specialists against more than 15 textiles eco-standards and criteria, including:
This unique data has been integrated in the ONE WAY Selector, which allows instant information access on how each ONE WAY product scores in terms of toxicological and ecological profile and standards. Over 200 products have been selected and already integrated, and ultimately the entire Archroma's textile dyes and chemicals portfolio will be added in order to cover our customers' needs from fiber to finish.
In addition, Archroma added its portfolio of ZDHC MRSL-compliant chemicals and dyes to the ONE WAY Sustainability Calculator (see under step 3). This allows the time-saving advantage of being able to pre-select products at an early stage in their selection process.
Textile manufacturers often have to cope with limitations imposed on their manufacturing operations, whether by local or industry regulations or simply by the local availability of resources.
With the ONE WAY Process Cluster, customers can now further narrow down their selection of potential products to one of four process groups, based on their environmental focus: Climate: Indicated by CO2 emissions; Resource: Indicated by savings in water, energy and time consumption; Waste water: Indicated by the volume of waste water, and others.
Archroma has developed a sophisticated software, the ONE WAY Calculator, that enables ONE WAY team members to assess the cost, performance and environmental profile of ONE WAY products almost instantly.
ONE WAY provides a sophisticated tool with precise data measurement and analysis for brand owners to accurately compare the resource savings or CO2 emissions of different processes. The ONE WAY Calculator provides instant information for customers to make informed decision based on measureable indicators. The measurements made possible with the ONE WAY Calculator include:
In addition, Archroma added its portfolio of ZDHC MRSL-compliant chemicals and dyes to the ONE WAY Sustainability Calculator. This allows the time-saving advantage of being able to pre-select products at an early stage in their selection process.
After all three steps of the ONE WAY methodology have been completed, the customer will receive a ONE WAY Score Card with all calculation results based on a set of key indicators. Case Example: Assessing Archroma's Blue Magic against a benchmark exhaust bleaching process Archroma's Blue Magic is an all-in-one bleaching auxiliary based on Imerol® Blue. Beside its advanced brightening effect, Blue Magic adds up to higher productivity, simplified handling, better uniformity and improved dyeability with less impact on the environment compared to conventional process. When assessed against a benchmark exhaust bleaching process, Archroma's Blue Magic all-in-one bleaching process, with Imerol® Blue, brings substantial improvements in terms of productivity, as well as reduced water and energy consumption.

Von Hernandez, Greenpeace Southeast Asia Executive Director, said:"Our condolences remain with the victims of typhoon Pablo. This is a very difficult time for the thousands of affected families and communities.""We have cancelled the Esperanza's planned expedition to survey the state of the Philippine seas in order to respond to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Mindanao. The Esperanza will leave Manila today to help ferry much needed supplies to communities devastated by typhoon Pablo, particularly in coastal areas that are currently difficult to access.""Our lead partner for this mission is the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), who is responsible for the relief provisions which will be carried by our ship, and who will be receiving the supplies at our destination in Mindanao. We are also carrying relief goods provided by ABS-CBN Foundation and Save the Children Foundation.""The frequency of extreme weather events such as typhoon Pablo has turned the Philippines into a disaster hotspot where weather related disasters are the norm rather than the exception. Every year our country continues to be in the top ten list of global climate risk indices. But while we are learning to cope more effectively in terms of disaster management and coordination, every year the stakes are also getting higher. This should be seen as a warning signal that we must work to enact climate change solutions for the sake of the future."For more information:

Something to Sink Your Milk Teeth Into
There it was right before me: a two-foot long, about a quarter-inch wide, impenetrable dribble from a babe's mouth. I was completely mesmerised. As the babe moved, the elastic dribble followed. It never broke. At one point, another little one entered the dribble zone, only to be ricocheted backwards when his arm touched the impervious, springy saliva.
I recognised it, the look of wanting to gum something to mere mash in order to ease the pain of a surfacing entity made of pulp, dentin and enamel, most commonly referred to as the tooth. My son had this look, and I've seen it countless times on the faces of other little ones.
In one of my son's music classes, come instrument time, the teething tots were more interested in gnawing on the maracas, tambourines and drumsticks than in singing about an incy wincy spider or a twinkling little star. I witnessed intricate webs of drool as one baby would have a go at the drumstick, completely saturate it and then pass it on to his pal next to him to have a nibble, who would then pass it to the little princess across from him. By the time the fifth munchkin had a chance to chomp on it, not only were babies getting caught in the web, but the stick seemed to be sheltered in its own slobber cocoon.It's a serious matter for parents and carers, this teething stuff, consisting of shrieks of the heart-stopping variety during the night, moodiness and clinginess throughout the day (or weeks or months), rashes, and an increase in laundry due to soaked bibs, shirts and blankets and spilled pink and purple medicines.
It is such a serious matter, I was nearly reported to Child Protection Services. While attempting to give my son the infamous Ashton and Parsons teething powder to ease his pain, he slapped the sachet out of my hand, causing the powder to fly everywhere, including all over my face. When I showed up at a playgroup – not having looked in the mirror before leaving the flat – with white stuff all over my nose and mouth, my fellow mums took me aside and said we needed to talk.
And talk we did. Once I made it clear that my drug of choice was sleep and not what they supposed it might be, the suggestions started rolling in. "If you want Enlai to sleep through the night while teething, you have no choice but to give him Calpol – and give the whole packet." And then another friend chimed in, "Don't forget the Metanium on his chin, cheeks and chest." "I should be putting the same stuff I put on his bum on his face?" I asked. "It's all about the barrier!" she responded. This friend replied in such a chipper tone that for a split second – in my sleep-deprived, frustrated state – I contemplated throwing Enlai's teething ring at her. I know violence is never the answer, but at the time, I was the parent of a teething baby.
I had other suggestions from friends and family, all of which I tried. If someone told me that standing on my head while placing a feather boa on my feet and simultaneously doing some Gregorian chanting would've solved the teething dilemma, I would've gladly done it – 100 times a day, if necessary. One friend recommended using one of those terry cloth rabbit ears thingamajigs, where you place your own middle and index fingers inside the terry cloth rabbit ear pockets and start massaging your little one's gums. What both my friend and the packaging failed to mention was that once your two fingers are in your little darling's mouth, he may assume that you are in fact giving him the chance to have the gnaw of his life and subsequently try to "gum" your fingers into non-existence.
Teething rings, rattles, blankets, beads, and keys didn't seem to work for us. But, the suggestion to wet a washcloth, put it in the freezer and then let my little prince chew on it when it was nice and frosty worked wonders. Freezer companions ice cream and popsicles were always good standbys. He also enjoyed chewing on my clothing and on one occasion, took matters into his own mouth and decided the black foam handlebar on his buggy was just what he needed to alleviate the unrelenting hurt. He bit a big chunk out, and when I glanced at his mouth, it looked as though several ant colonies decided to set up home along his gums.
In a separate incident at the market, while my husband was grabbing a baguette, he decided to give Enlai a petit pain to relieve his throbbing chops. Enlai masticated most of the pain (no pun intended), and while we were in the queue, he handed the remaining mangled dough to my husband. My husband wrung it out as one would a wet cloth, and what flowed out was enough liquid to hydrate a small nation.
Where slobber is, bibs follow. With Enlai going through bibs like one Mr. Ramsay goes through expletives, I was left to my own devices when our washer/dryer broke down. I started cutting shirts to make bib bandanas. It was at this stage that my poor little drooling, would-be cowboy looked at me with those big eyes, as if to ask, "Is all this teething nonsense ever going to end?" I consulted my how-to-survive-the-first-year bible which indicated, in short, that the answer was yes. Yes, Virginia, there is an end to teething.

From October 11, 2017 on wards permanent residents of Canada will find it easier to obtain the Canadian citizenship. The Bill C-6 which was passed into law last June has now come into implementation. This means that the process much popularly known as naturalization will become easier and shall involve a quicker process than before. Before this bill, permanent residents have to wait for four years of residency in order to apply. But now, permanent residents with three years of residency out of five can apply for Citizenship.
Moreover, permanent residents who spent time in Canada as a foreign worker, international student, or protected person before transitioning to permanent residence may count a portion of this time towards the residency days requirement, where each day spent in Canada on temporary status counts as half a day, up to a maximum of 365 days. In addition, as of October 11 the government no longer requires applicants for citizenship to be physically present in Canada for 183 days or more in four out of the six years preceding their application, as was the case before.
Addressing to this improvement at Brampton, Ontario, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussein said:
"We want all permanent residents in Canada to become citizens. That's our wish, because we value Canadian citizenship, we understand we are a community that continues to welcome people from all over the world. And we understand the importance and the positive role that immigrants play in our economy, in our society, and in our cultural life."
|Applicants had to be physically present in Canada for four out of six years before applying for citizenship.
|Applicants must be physically present in Canada for three out of five years before applying for citizenship.
|Applicants had to file Canadian income taxes, if required to do so under the Income Tax Act, for four out of six years, matching the physical presence requirement.
|Applicants must file Canadian income taxes, if required to do so under the Income Tax Act, for three out of five years, matching the new physical presence requirement.
|Applicants had to be physically present in Canada for 183 days in four out of the six years preceding their application.
|This provision is repealed. Applicants no longer have to meet this requirement.
|Time spent in Canada prior to becoming a permanent resident did not count towards the physical presence requirement for citizenship.
|Applicants may count each day they were physically present in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person before becoming a permanent resident as a half-day toward meeting the physical presence requirement for citizenship, up to a maximum credit of 365 days.
|Applicants between 14 and 64 years had to meet the language and knowledge requirements for citizenship.
|Applicants between 18 and 54 years must meet the language and knowledge requirements for citizenship.

Connecticut GOP chairman files complaint over third party
HARTFORD (AP) -- The outgoing chairman of the Connecticut Republican Party has filed an election complaint against the Working Families Party, claiming the third party made illegal campaign fund transfers to Democratic candidates for state-wide office.
Chris Healy, whose term expires on Tuesday, announced Monday he had filed a complaint with the State Elections Enforcement Commission. He claims the party violated both federal and state campaign financing laws.
Jon Green, the party's executive director, called Healy's complaint "classic sour grapes" because the GOP lost at the polls last year and on issues such as paid sick leave.
Green said the party sought an opinion from the elections commission about how to handle a petition drive, a key point of Healy's complaint, and how to make sure the expense of it was properly divided.

Can Chamomile Tea Help With a Stuffy Nose & Cough?
Chamomile tea might help hydrate you when you have a stuffy nose and cough, but as of 2011, there is no scientific evidence that the herb itself will help ease your symptoms. A stuffy nose and cough can be features of the common cold or other medical problems. Consult your doctor about using chamomile to treat any medical condition.
Since ancient Egypt and Rome, people have been using two types of chamomile medicinally. The types are German and English, also known as Roman, chamomile. Sore throats, chest colds, allergies, gingivitis, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety have been treated with chamomile, as well as muscle spasms, skin problems, ulcers, colic and infections. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, German chamomile might help reduce inflammation and muscle spasms, aid sleep and help wounds heal faster. It might also have antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Human studies are too limited to substantiate any of these claims. Avoid chamomile if you are allergic to ragweed, asters, chrysanthemums or members of the daisy family, as chamomile could trigger an allergic reaction.
About Stuffy Nose and Cough
A stuffy nose and cough might be symptoms of the common cold. Other symptoms might include sneezing, sore throat or headache. Cold viruses spread through droplets released when sick people cough and sneeze, or blow their noses. According to the New York Times, getting enough rest and drinking lots of fluids are the best methods to cure a cold. However, if you are sick with a cold for longer than a week or have additional symptoms, you might have a more serious illness, and should call your doctor.
Chamomile Tea
While there is no evidence that chamomile tea will help your stuffy nose and cough, moderate amounts of the tea is probably safe for most people. Many non-caffeinated fluids can be good for helping flush bacteria out of your system, and sipping the fragrant tea may comfort you. Chamomile tea is widely available both as loose tea and prepared in teabags. Organic chamomile tea is grown and harvested without the use of chemical herbicides or pesticides. Steep a teabag or ball of loose tea in boiling water for 5 minutes, or until the infusion reaches the strength you desire. You can also grow your own chamomile plants for tea. These fast-spreading perennial herbs emit a strong scent in the garden or in pots. Flavor chamomile tea with honey to add sweetness.
Help for Stuffy Nose and Cough
Other remedies that folk wisdom prescribes for a stuffy nose and cough include echinacea tea, zinc supplements, vitamin C and chicken soup. Vitamin C may not cure a cold, but people who take it regularly might have milder symptoms and suffer for fewer days. Chicken soup might also help, says the New York Times, due to the fluid, salt and heat it contains. If you take a zinc supplement within 24 hours of conceiving your cold, it may not last as long.

Ubisoft continues to be aggressive in grabbing the early lead in virtual reality games. Its latest project is Space Junkies, a new multiplayer shooter game where you can fly around in VR with a jet pack in space.
The French video game publisher announced the game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the big game trade show in Los Angeles this week.
Chris Early, vice president at Ubisoft, said that the company continues to experiment with virtual reality, even though it has "not taken off as fast as anyone would like." Still, he said the company has had good learnings from its early games like Eagle Flight, Werewolves Within, and Star Trek: Bridge Crew.
"Some things we do don't make sense," Early said. "It is part of our creative ingenuity."
Space Junkies is a new game being made at Ubisoft Montpellier in France. Adrian Lacey, producer of the game, said that the company has created a VR content creation engine called Brigitte VR for the preproduction of VR games.
Space Junkies is using the preproduction engine. You fly around in a jet pack and shoot other players.
"We have full embodiment, with arms and legs visible inside VR. So when you look down, you can see your arms and legs in the game. You can grab weapons in space and use them against other players.
"The sense of scale in space is impressive," said Lacey.

I read in an email that Zig Ziglar passed away at the age of 86. He leaves a great legacy. I'm grateful that I have some of his recordings in my mp3 player. They are gold.
I first heard of Zig in the early 80's. He was the host of a radio feature called "Daily Christian Motivation." It was a five minute program, designed to make you feel better about yourself. A couple of years later, I picked up a copy of his book, See You at the Top. After much note taking and reading it through a few times,I became a fan of his. I also bought, and read..and read...and read, his book, Confessions of a Happy Christian. My wife loved the attitude adjustment the books gave me.
Although I never met Zig in person, I look forward to the day we will meet in glory. I say this because we are both born again Christians. Zig spent a year in the early 80's as the first vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention. Zig left his mark there as well. He was a man of convictions and was never afraid to let the world know where he stood.
Thanks to modern technology, I can still listen to his recordings when I go for a walk. One of my favorite recordings is "Biscuits, Fleas, and Pump Handles." He recorded this in Dayton, Ohio in 1977. The recording is as relevant today as it was 35 years ago. It's worth a listen. Here's another message worth watching:
RIP Zig. the world is a better place because of you.

text: Hey. I am trying to convert all Squire parts onto another guitar's body. So basically I stripped the Squire down to put the neck and pickups onto the new body. I had to trim alittle bit of wood down for the neck to fit on, so that wasn't a problem. The problem I have is that the body does not have matching cuts of wood. Instead of being next to each other with a 3/4" spacing there is a 4" spacing. Would it sound like garbage if the two pickups weren't next to each other. And if it would work, would there still be the 3/4" spacing WITH the 4" gap. And how far from the neck should it be spaced?

- President Obama announced this week that his views regarding gay marriage have been "evolving." His position in recent months has waffled enough to draw criticism even from the liberal side of the political fence. While seeking presidential election in 2008, he stated, "I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian — for me — for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God's in the mix." However, back in 1996, he had endorsed same-sex marriage. Perhaps we should consider his "new view" which is really just his "old view" to be an example of "reverse evolution." Or perhaps it is difficult even for a sitting president to determine how to be all things to all people in an election year! As discussed by Al Mohler, President Obama has instructed his Attorney General not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act. This 1996 law defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman. The law does not regulate the sexual behavior of adults. The law protects states from any requirement to legally recognize same-sex marriage and denies recognition of same-sex marriage for such purposes as federal taxation and benefits. President Obama, like all U.S. Presidents, has sworn to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Article 2 of the Constitution enumerates the President's duties and states in Section 3: "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." By instructing the Attorney General to ignore the federal law, President Obama is ignoring this sworn duty. Furthermore, during an interview with ABC TV, President Obama offered his own biblical commentary. He said, "When we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated." Taken to its logical conclusion, of course, wouldn't everyone like to pick and choose what laws he must be subject to? Besides ignoring a great deal of Scripture related to this issue (see "The Evolution of the Views of a President" for an extensive discussion), the president is twisting Scripture. While the Apostle Peter said "untaught people twist" various "hard" Scriptures (2 Peter 3:16), there is nothing particularly hard to understand about the Golden Rule. Not even the youngest child would think that Jesus Christ meant people should be able to violate laws they don't happen to like. We do not imply the president is unable to understand simple Scripture. But he is twisting the Golden Rulein an attempt to gain biblical support for an unbiblical position.
- British scientists have scaled up estimates from the current cattle contribution to greenhouse gases to get an idea of sauropod emissions. They estimate the dinosaur contribution of digestive methane gas produced substantial Mesozoic global warming, making the world warmer by about 18 degrees Fahrenheit. David Wilkinson and colleagues have published their results in Current Biology. Wilkinson explains, "The ecology of microbes and their role in the working of our planet are one of my key interests in science. Although it's the dinosaur element that captures the popular imagination with this work, actually it is the microbes living in the dinosaurs guts that are making the methane." By calculating comparative body mass and estimates of sauropod population—admittedly having to make a number of assumptions—Wilkinson says, "Cows today produce something like 50-100 [million tonnes] per year. Our best estimate for Sauropods is around 520 [million tonnes]." By comparison, "Current methane emissions amount to around 500 million tonnes a year from a combination of natural sources, such as wild animals, and human activities." Wilkinson adds, "There were other sources of methane in the Mesozoic so total methane level would probably have been much higher than now." The testimony of the Genesis account of Creation declares God made all the land animals the same day He made Adam. But since evolutionists insist human beings did not share this world with dinosaurs, at least in the eyes of those who insist human activity is the primary cause of current climate change, we're off the hook for that one.
- How to get more power from light is described in a recently published study in National Photonics. Not, as Star Trek fans might initially think from the title, through android intelligence, but through biomimicry. (Of course, in the fictional world photonics were biomimics too, so the metaphor does work.) Princeton's Yueh-Lin Loo's engineering team reports a biomimetic way to boost the electrical output of low-cost solar panels by 47%. Loo's team modeled their folds on the design of the leaf, surely nature's most efficient utilizer of solar energy. They write, "Some of the simplest light-harvesting systems in nature rely on the presence of surface structures to increase internal light scattering. We have extended this concept to increase the efficiencies of man-made solar energy harvesting systems."1 The engineers designed "wrinkles and deep folds" into cheap plastic surfaces, which is more economical than the more brittle and expensive silicon commonly used to capture the sun's energy. The plastic is "flexible, bendable, light weight, and low cost," says Loo. Most solar energy research to date has focused on improving the efficiency of the photovoltaic material, but Loo's approach instead uses a biomimetic design to alter the shape of the material to "create a kind of [light] wave guide. And that leads to a greater chance of the light's being absorbed," Loo explains. In our efforts to be good stewards of the world God has given us, the Creator's design of the leaf may thus offer a clue to help mankind derive more clean energy from the sun.

Even while dealing with significant stressors related to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, many women describe benefits derived from their cancer experience. Previous psychosocial interventions have been shown to increase benefit finding (BF) in post-surgical breast cancer patients, but these interventions have been rather lengthy and comprehensive in nature, raising the question of whether briefer, more specific psychosocial interventions would have similar effects on BF. Additionally, control groups were not attention-matched in previous studies, so the potential impact of group social support could not be controlled. Further, previous psychosocial interventions have examined intervention effects on women regardless of initial distress level. Given that some level of distress may be necessary for the development of BF, it is important to determine the impact of initial distress on BF outcomes. Hispanic breast cancer patients may represent an ethnic subgroup with proportionally greater distress than non-Hispanic White (NHW) women, but few studies have specifically examined potential differential intervention effects on BF in these two ethnic subgroups. The present study sought to address these limitations by testing whether a brief, 5-week group intervention with Cognitive-Behavioral Training [CBT] or Relaxation Training [RT] could increase BF relative to an attention-matched Health Education [HE] control group in women with breast cancer. This study also tested whether intervention-related changes in BF were moderated by women's initial distress levels in order to determine if intervention effects were greater for women with higher initial distress. Finally, this study tested whether intervention-related changes in BF were moderated by ethnicity to determine if intervention effects were greater for Hispanic women compared to NHW women. The present sample included 183 women with non-metastatic breast cancer who were 2-10 weeks post-surgery at the time of their baseline assessment (T1) and were re-assessed post-intervention (T2; approximately 2 months post-baseline), 6 months post-baseline (T3), and 12 months post-baseline (T4). In uncontrolled regression analyses, BF increased from T1 to T2 for women in all three conditions, but controlled analyses demonstrated T1 to T2 BF increase only for women in CBT. Latent growth modeling (LGM) tested intervention effects on BF at the three follow-up assessments (T2 to T4). A linear LGM model revealed a significant difference between CBT and HE groups in T2 to T4 change in BF, but no difference in BF slope was found between RT and HE groups. LGM results showed no significant moderation effects. Neither measures of distress nor ethnicity were found to moderate intervention-related changes in BF over time. Hispanic women showed significantly higher levels of BF compared to NHW women at all assessment timepoints. Findings suggest that a brief, focused CBT intervention can help promote BF, with differences between CBT and HE increasingly evident with increased time since surgery. Results also suggest that Hispanic cultural factors may contribute to higher BF among Hispanic women compared to NHW women in the year following primary surgery for breast cancer. Future work should explore the specific factors contributing to higher BF among women receiving CBT intervention and among Hispanic women. Future studies could also expand upon this work by testing brief CBT and RT group interventions with additional study populations, by extending the study period, and by providing these interventions at different points along the cancer survivorship trajectory. Finally, implementation studies are needed to determine whether use of brief group-based psychosocial interventions can be of help to patients in real-world clinical settings.

Yesterday in this space, it was written that the Cubs did the correct thing in giving Mike Quade the chance to show that the Cubs' record during his interim period was not a fluke. Now there are rumblings that Ryne Sandberg may be given a coaching assignment for the big league team. That would be a huge mistake and completely unfair to Quade. Naturally, Quade was lukewarm to the idea and who could blame him. The absolute last thing a new boss needs is to have the guy he beat out for the job sitting in his own dugout.
This is Business 101 folks. It's called the Glass Ceiling. When a prospect in your business organization rises to his highest possible ceiling and then tries and fails to go to the next level, the only option is to dismiss that candidate. If you don't, you have unhappiness all around.
Sandberg could be a saint about the whole thing and handle it with class and elan. That's been Sandberg's MO for most of his career. But why risk it? Why give Quade that level of discomfort? Why give the fans of Chicago a reason to chant if things don't go well? No, you can't do that to Quade. It would undo all the positives you created with the decision in the first place. And in Business 101, you don't re-employ Sandberg back in the minors either. There is no logical choice but to dismiss him and wish him well.
We all will wish Sandberg well and hope that he gets a chance to manage at the big league level. But we all wish for it in another organization.

Cubs Shouldn't Employ Sandberg

Eh, I feel like Hendry just strung Sandberg along and never had any intention of hiring him. If the Cubs weren't in such an obvious rebuilding stage, then maybe Quade would have been the right choice. But they lost Ted Lilly and they don't have a first baseman right now. Quade was successful in a small sample size in meaningless games. Doesn't really tell us much, except Piniella was awful.

We know the Porsche Cayman GT4 is one of the best track-ready cars that money can buy. It's got the big motor, a stick shift, and GT3 components all packed into a mid-engine platform. But how does it compare to the actual race-car version, the GT4 Clubsport? We joined our friends from CJ Wilson Racing at Willow Springs to find out.
CJ Wilson, who also pitches for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, is one of the few people who has not only driven both of these vehicles, but owns them too—and a McLaren P1, but no big deal. And in this test, he puts both the street and racing versions of the GT4 through their paces.
Watch the video to hear how things like carbon-ceramic brakes and a manual transmission on the street car, compare to a full roll cage and zero visibility on the race car.
Which would you take?

The Switch Ma-en are an alternative quantum punk, goth industrial band from Bolton, whose profound lyrics and intricate soundscape make them an original and progressive act. With their guitar and synth infusions, The Switch Mae-en, offer a paradoxical wave of musical manifestations that resonate against the cerebral fuelled narratives. With its upbeat tempos, oblique synths and orchestral arrangements, The Switch Man-en flutter, shatter and quantum-leap between parallel universes across an absurd horizon. With Jean-Paul de Guyse on vocals, Troy Sanchez on guitar and Ya Kavayan on bass, The Switch Ma-en delve deep between post-punk and synth-pop rebellion, whilst artfully gleaming in the throes of avant garde innovation.
With an EP in the pipeline, The Switch Ma-en having been busy in the studio and their debut single, "Pessoma and me (The Disquiet of Being)" has been selected as my single of the week. With its fuzzy synths, pulsating beats and industrial clatter, "Pessoma and me (The Disquiet of Being)", prowls across a matrix of musical elucidations. It's a great track, which short-circuits across a mass of electrical pathways, against de Guyse's intriguing narration. Through the tinkering riffs, "Pessoma and me (The Disquiet of Being)", preys in the sidelines, peering in at the quivering synths whilst phantom dancing against the brooding bass, creating an amorphous and cinematic ambience.

Graphic Realities
It is amazing to see how much the medium of graphic novels have grown over the past 20 years. And it's been fascinating to see Hollywood come calling. However, I do believe quite strongly that there are some major barriers on the distribution side of things that have inhibited this growth and have prevented comics from growing as much as they could. The main issue isn't in the book trade, however, but rather in the Direct Market (the "comic shops").
Diamond's monopoly on the Direct Market has become far too onerous for any of the non-brokered publishers. It boggles my mind that so many of these publishers signed exclusive distribution deals with Diamond that have really gotten them nothing at all. Diamond will still not take an inventory position on titles and "out of stock" titles become defacto "out of print" in many, many cases. Getting re-orders flowing through Diamond in a way that I'm familiar as a bookseller with would seem to be nearly impossible. From this point of view, Diamond is not a distributor at all, but rather a freight-forwarder. And since they are the exclusive supplier in the Direct Market, they really are the only game in town. Certainly the ability to use just-in-time inventory management is a major problem on the retail level as a result of this. Factor in low discounts to retailers and you have a situation that leads to conservatism in ordering. It is fascinating to me that a title like Persepolis performed so much better in the book trade channel. I think the same can be said for manga.
Just to drive this point home even further: it is no surprise to me whatsoever that both Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly have set-up retail operations (in Seattle and Montreal respectfully. The distribution situation is fundamentally untenable as it stands right now and publishers are trying to find alternatives. This all means that if a small press title (and really, that means anything published by anyone save for Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse) has small initial orders from Diamond, growing sales long-term is almost impossible. A title is dead right out of the gate.
In my own case, I know that if I tried to launch my graphic novel through Diamond tomorrow I'd be facing initial orders of no more than 300 copies. I'd be looking at re-orders at only another 100-200 if I was very lucky. Even if I managed to get into Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Bookazine, North 49, etc..., orders would most likely be very poor. Printing 1000 copies of my graphic novel is about the minimum I can shoot for with offset printers like Lebonfon. I suspect the odds are long that I'd sell that many over the course of a year.
I think this partially explains why so many graphic novelists are turning to the web and trying to gain traction that way. It certainly does in my case. While I think the diversity in what is being brought to market is truly amazing, I suspect we're heading towards a schism between the two channels (if we're not experiencing it already). And that is a somewhat scary proposition for those of us trying to earn a living in this medium.

Oh, thanks for that. I do think that having run a bookstore for a number of years before doing a graphic novel gives me a bit of a different perspective than other cartoonists. I became very accustomed to the book trade's numerous distributor options (albeit the Canadian book trade) and my research on Diamond certainly gave me pause. I, like many other creators and/or publishers, have not figured out a way to make the Direct Market (as represented by Diamond Distribution) viable.
While some may regard my feelings about Diamond as alarmist or reactionary, I thought I'd add some comments from Tony Panaccio (formerly the Vice-President of Product Development at the now defunct Cross Generation Entertainment). This is taken from Todd Allen's Business of Content website:
"It is my belief – and I am not alone in this belief, but I am sure that many of my colleagues feel it is not in their best interests to voice their opinions on this matter – that the Department of Justice blew it when they initially investigated Diamond to examine its compliance with the anti-trust laws on the books right now," Panaccio said. "While many analysts within the DOJ could see the argument for technical compliance, especially when it is presented solely by Diamond's lawyers, I believe that any sitting judge would have seen through Diamond's definitions of 'broker' and 'distributor' in relation to their vendors, and ruled that Diamond was indeed in violation of anti-trust laws. In my mind, Diamond is one of the worst-case scenarios of monopoly in American publishing, and the resulting power and influence wielded by Diamond in the marketplace is unfair and illegal. It is fundamentally unjust that this criminal conduct is allowed to continue while thousands of retailers, thousands of creators and dozens of publishers locked outside the premier vendor club suffer under a system that was constructed solely for the purpose of entrenching and rewarding a select minority."
Now, I do realize that is one hell of an accusation, but he is certainly not alone. Brian Hibbs, owner of the San Francisco based comic store Comix Experience said the following in an interview with the Comics Journal, "Now that FMI has cut back to reorders only, Diamond has zero competition. It's a really bad situation. I'm a longtime proponent of Diamond, but I strongly believe the Justice Department needs to come in and slice them up. I think this is probably the biggest issue of 2006."
Unfortunately, this situation has not been resolved in 2006 nor in 2007 and I believe that it will continue to be a major concern over the next few years. As wonderful as the medium of comics are, these obstacles on the distribution side need to be resolved urgently. I just don't see that resolution occuring any time soon.
Oh, by the by: I really enjoy the blog. :)

Cathay Pacifc Airways, the Hong Kong-based aviation company, is planning to increase the frequency of its cargo flights from the city to India, given the spurt in business. Currently, the carrier operates from six Indian cities and there are 25 freighter departures every week.
"At this moment, we plan to optimise our network base in India and want to increase our frequency here," Mark Sutch, Cathay Pacific's General Manager (cargo sales and marketing) was quoted as saying by the PTI.
During the first nine months of calendar year 2016, the airline's cargo business grew about 8 percent in volume terms, up from 4 to 5 percent in the past.
The carrier provides freight services from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Sutch also said India was a very significant market for Cathay Pacific from a passenger business point of view.
Cathay Pacific transports pharma products and other goods and services to major cities of the world.

Thermage employs a patented Capacitive Radio Frequency (CRF) technology, which aims to tighten facial tissue. Throughout the course of a Thermage treatment, a doctor employs a wand called the ThermaTip, which transmits energy from the radio frequency into the individual's skin. This energy then warms the skin layers.
The heat produced in Thermage procedures is precisely what is needed to reduce the effects of aging in the lower layers of the skin. As we age, our collagen fibers in the skin's inner layers are prone to thinning and shortening. As a result, the outer layers of our skin start to wrinkle and droop. With the correct level of heat, such as that which is created by way of the Thermage radio frequency, the development of collagen fibers can be promoted. Accordingly, the skin is tightened and unpleasant wrinkles are reduced.

Research Worker (retired)
Research Interests
Almost all my research has been in the field of vision. My main aim has been to understand the visual system at the level of single neurons and their interactions, a level that may hold the key to a quantitative understanding of the useful work our brains do for us. This work can be measured by estimating the statistical efficiency with which a task can be performed, and the same measure can be applied both to responses of single neurons, and to behavioural responses of a whole animal or human observer. It seems to be turning out that both single neurons, and intact brains, can perform carefully selected tasks quite close to the statistical limit imposed by a known amount of noise deliberately added to the input by the experimenter. This fact shows that brains are not incurably noisy, and it should allow us to find out how our brains track down the symmetries and suspicious coincidences in our environment, tasks that are required for intelligent cognitive judgements.
I'm currently interested in testing a hypothesis about the role of motion blur in helping us to determine the direction of motion of moving images. Motion blur results from the failure of the photoreceptors to follow the rapid fluctuations of intensity that occur when an image moves, and it causes a severe loss of acuity in the direction of motion, even when the velocity is only a few degrees/sec. This is shown at top left by the 2-D spatial frequency filter calculated for motion at 2 deg/sec. Our hypothesis is that the static patterns shown below (called Glass patterns after their discoverer) mimic the patterns of attenuation of high spatial frequencies that occur from the patterns of motion caused by optic flow, which are the image movements that occur when an observer moves through a fixed environment. A paper (with Bruno Olshausen) describing the hypothesis and some supporting observations is available at the Journal of Vision.
