Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk has been fined $5,000 for cross-checking Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Johansson during a heated game between the two teams last night, the NHL Department of Player Safety said Wednesday morning. This is the maximum allowable fine under the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The incident occurred late in the third period of the game, which the Jets won 3-1. Pionk received a major penalty for cross-checking Johansson, but the league felt that the infraction deserved further punishment.
Johansson was in obvious discomfort after the play, which caused him to fall to the ice. His injury status is currently unknown.
The game between the Jets and the Wild was a physical affair, with other incidents drawing the attention of the league. Wild forward Ryan Hartman is facing a potential suspension for a hit on Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers, which occurred earlier in the game. The league is expected to make a ruling on Hartman's status later today.
The decision to hold a hearing for one incident but not the other is sure to draw ire from some. Both incidents had some perceived level of intent, depending on who you ask, and both resulted in potential injuries to the opposing players.

It's possible that a team that relies on contributions from across the roster, that needs a number of players to be generalists (rather than one generalist and a bunch of specialists), can't handle many absences. Having two centers dressed and ready to go, for example, seems to be critical for the Toronto Raptors' success. And through 17 games, the numbers seem to be bearing that out: the Raptors are now 7-4 with both Khem Birch and Precious Achiuwa available and 1-5 with one or neither.
That the Raptors are able to survive absences from Pascal Siakam or OG Anunoby is explicable by the fact that Toronto has a glut of wings on the roster, many of whom are stars who can all handle added responsibility when one is missing. But the team is shallow at the big spot.
But with both Birch and Achiuwa playing well against Sacramento, Toronto looked like it rediscovered its identity from the beginning of the season. The defense against Sacramento was fantastic, and it wasn't just great in patches. Both centers played their roles, with Achiuwa providing an enormous spark off the bench, dunking early out of pick and roll with Fred VanVleet, and playing aggressively with his pass. When Birch returned, he kind of turned into prime Shaq, blocking everything in sight, stripping the ball in transition from various Kings, throwing down putback dunks. To be fair, that's not going to happen every night, but the benefit of the role diversity was clear.
Birch is probably a better fit with the starters due to his defensive solidity and offensive screen-setting. Achiuwa is probably a better fit with the bench due to his motor and aggression with the ball. For one night, they both filled their roles admirably, making sure the Kings never had a minute with an advantage at the center spot.
That's the critical component of availability. Toronto can survive — can even win, sometimes! — minutes with Siakam, Anunoby, or even Scottie Barnes at center. But to play 20-plus minutes like that in a game invites disaster. The margins are too thin, the requirements too great for Toronto's wings on both ends. It's hard to be an innings-eater pitcher and a flamethrowing strikeout pitcher. Toronto learned that lesson last year, and they seem to be re-learning it again now. Toronto is best served saving their small-ball lineups for short stretches of a few minutes at a time as a proactive weapon rather than a reaction to lack of availability.
But the two centers admirably filling different roles wasn't the only roster clarification Toronto saw on the night. Gary Trent jr. played a sizeable portion of his minutes alongside Toronto's bench group, which is a great fit for him. He's a brilliant scorer against whom defense matters little; he's either going to make or miss, and that's up to the flick of his wrist, not the defensive attention. That skill is less useful alongside offensive dynamos like VanVleet or Siakam. Sure, Trent can spot up around them and do plenty of damage as a shooter and attacker of rotations, but his individual scoring ability can lift lesser lineups. And that's the value of playing him alongside bench groups. Indeed, Trent rained triples and stroked midrange pullups when Siakam and VanVleet were on the bench. He finished with 23 points, proving that he can both lift the floor of starting groups and the ceiling of transitional ones. To that point, Trent actually played the most minutes on the team, with 36.
There were other elements of success that enabled Toronto's rotations to work. That Chris Boucher played fantastic defense gave the bench groups endless bundles of energy. He blocked two shots and led the team in defensive rebounds, on top of which he was fantastic as a rim runner in transition. When he plays like that, it's much easier for Toronto to win bench minutes that are track meets rather than grinding, half-court boxing matches. Boucher is a track star and an amateur boxer at best. The bench group ran plays not only to Boucher's strengths, but also to Dalano Banton's, Achiuwa's, and Scottie Barnes' as well, who spent time with the bench. When the bench is forced to play in the halfcourt, well, that's why Trent and Svi Mykhailiuk are out there. They're the failsafe, not plan A.
The benefit is cascading. A successful defense means a successful starting group. And a successful starting group means better staggered bench units, which means better pace, and often, the bench unit winning its minutes. That leads back to the starters having an advantage when they re-enter the floor. Nothing in basketball happens in a vacuum, and Toronto finding rotation success in some areas benefits all areas.
There's more improvement yet to come. Barnes and Siakam need to find more ways to thrive together. Outside of fastbreaks, the best they looked together was when Siakam drove, drew a crowd, and found Barnes skulking along the baseline for little duck-in passes. That's great! But it's too specific to build a fit around, and Barnes looked passive when Siakam went supernova. The rookie needs to add to his game to better complement Toronto's big guns. (Anunoby should help there due to his shooting and versatility.)
But the point is that it's early. It took Toronto more than a dozen games to best figure out its center rotation, which is fine. Lessons should take time, or else teams will be overreactive, and players will never find consistency. Going forward, I expect Birch to remain a starter and Achiuwa to remain a bench player. Barnes is a rookie, and he has plenty of time to learn to make those fits more snug. This isn't a criticism so much as a look forward into the areas in which he can grow.
Similarly, VanVleet needs a legitimate backup. Dalano Banton has been excellent as a rookie, but he's been best deployed alongside another point guard. Despite playing well virtually every time he touches the floor, Malachi Flynn can't get consistent minutes. (It's possible that Trent is going to run point when VanVleet sits, which I don't actually hate.) But Toronto needs to find ways to win minutes when VanVleet sits. That's a tough problem to solve.
But all in all, the picture is starting to come together. There's more to come, of course. There will certainly be more losses, and likely even some losing streaks! That happens. Don't panic. The team as a collective is slowly starting to figure out how this thing is supposed to go.

Is Israel beating the war drums again for a military strike against Iran as the Biden administration tries to reengage Tehran on its nuclear program?
It might seem that way after listening to last week's warnings by Aviv Kochavi, the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces – and earlier comments delivered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a speech in southern Israel: bury the 2015 multinational nuclear deal with Iran … or else.
The warnings were directed at Washington, not Tehran: Do not reenter any accord with Iran that doesn't meet with Israel's approval. For now, a traditionally risk-averse Netanyahu, burdened with his own domestic headaches and said to be eager to avoid a blowup with President Joe Biden over Iran, isn't likely to attack in the near future. But if the Biden administration can't figure out a way to constrain Iran's nuclear program, an Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear sites, which could easily draw America in, may only be a matter of time.
Last week, Kochavi made Israel's position clear, saying that Israel's military would be prepared to attack Iran on its own and that he had ordered the army to prepare operational plans for possible action against Iran in the coming year. "Those who decide on carrying them out, of course, are the political leaders. But these plans have to be on the table," he said.
These remarks came after Netanyahu's tough-minded warning to Biden in November not to re-enter the nuclear agreement – negotiated between China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the US and known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – and against the backdrop of the Israeli army indicating that it will request a substantial increase in funding for weapons needed to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. The Trump administration withdrew from the JCPOA.
The tough rhetoric has been part of an Israeli pattern that's been much more bark than bite. Between 2009 and 2013 Netanyahu perennially warned of military action – a bit of bluster that may well have energized the Obama administration to negotiate a nuclear accord with Iran that, paradoxically, Netanyahu came to despise and oppose.
In fact, despite the tough guy image he likes to project, Netanyahu has proven throughout his long career to be consistently risk-averse when it comes to making war (and peace). Unlike his predecessors Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert, whose military campaigns in Lebanon cost Israel and their own political fortunes dearly, Netanyahu has avoided getting bogged down in unwise campaigns in Lebanon and against Hamas in Gaza, where he's resisted calls for a major ground incursion to destroy Hamas, let alone to reoccupy Gaza.
There are also a few cruel realities about striking Iran that have given Netanyahu and his security establishment great pause. In what Israelis like to call "mowing the grass," the IDF could set back Iran's nuclear program by perhaps a couple of years, but not destroy it. Indeed, an attack that lacked a compelling rationale might isolate Israel rather than Iran – and only accelerate Tehran's quest to build a nuclear weapon at less vulnerable sites. An attack might also prompt Hezbollah to lob thousands of highly capable missiles and rockets across Israeli territory, which would cause hundreds of civilian casualties. Iran could also seek to mobilize its Shia allies in Syria and Iraq to attack targets in Israel.
The Americans are perhaps Netanyahu's greatest worry. It is conventional wisdom that the consequences of an Israeli strike would be so destabilizing that Israel would never conduct one without American approval or at least acquiescence. Netanyahu's inherent caution almost certainly means he'd never surprise Washington and would, in fact, want the administration's support if not ideally its participation.
That's not likely to happen. President Biden is more interested in engaging Iran than attacking it. Why? Because if left unresolved, the nuclear issue might draw the United States into a regional war that could include Iranian sponsored terrorism, attacks on oil facilities and shipping, and operations by Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria that could jeopardize US goals there. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that Iran could have enough fissile material to build a nuclear weapon in months or, if it continued to lift restraints put in place by the JCPOA, in "a matter of weeks."
The resulting fallout would disrupt Biden's key priority – domestic recovery – would ratchet up energy prices, and suck the administration back into the Middle East at a time when it wants to pivot to Asia to confront an aggressive China.
Biden isn't Donald Trump. Biden will go the extra mile to coordinate with Israel on nuclear diplomacy, but he's unlikely to give Netanyahu a blank check to sabotage his efforts to engage Tehran. Moreover, Biden – a strong supporter of Israel for decades – is not Obama, whom Netanyahu had a far easier time portraying among Israelis as unfriendly to Israel.

But Netanyahu and his hawkish supporters in this country should be under no illusions. The new Biden administration is unlikely to deliver on what they want: an extension of the sunset provisions that allow key nuclear restrictions to expire after a specific number of years in the JCPOA, real limits on Iran's ballistic missile development, and a rollback of Iran's regional influence.
Israel's options for military action will be constrained if the administration successfully restores the JCPOA – or even if it gets less from Iran on nuclear compliance in return for less American relief from sanctions. But if there is no nuclear deal, and especially if hardliners capture the Iranian presidency in June's election and ramp up Iran's nuclear program, all bets are off against Israel taking matters into its own hands.
The clock is ticking …

What does a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice mean?
What does a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice mean?
In the formal legal world, a court case that is dismissed with prejudice means that it is dismissed permanently. A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite. It's not dismissed forever.
Why do lawyers write without prejudice?
The "without prejudice" principle means statements made in a document marked "without prejudice" or made verbally on a "without prejudice" basis, in a genuine attempt to settle the dispute, will generally not be admissible in court as evidence against the person making the statement.
Why do legal letters say without prejudice?
The WP rule is to encourage settlement discussions without parties weakening their position in the formal dispute. Basically, if this rule applies, people can speak and write openly without fear that what they are saying may be used against them in court or arbitration.
Should I put without prejudice on a letter?
If writing a letter of demand, you should mark the letter Without Prejudice even though you're not making any concessions or reducing the debt. Once your email or letter is marked Without Prejudice, then that correspondence is protected and cannot be used against you in the court of law.

This study presents a comparison of air leakage measurements collected recently (November 2013 to March 2014) with two sets of prior data collected between 2001-2003 from 17 new homes located near Atlanta, GA, and 17 homes near Boise, ID that were weatherized in 2007-2008. The purpose of the comparison is to determine if there are changes to the airtightness of building envelopes over time. Durability of building envelope is important to new homes that are increasingly built with improved levels of airtightness. It is also important to weatherized homes such that energy savings from retrofit measures, such as air sealing, are persistent. Analysis of the multi-point depressurization data shows that the blower tests characterized the air leakage at 50 Pa pressure difference well. This is shown by good agreement between air changes per hour at 50 Pa (ACH50 or n50) as measured, and as estimated from the fitted values of leakage coefficients and pressure exponents to the multi-point depressurization data. We used Student's t-test to compare the current two sets of air leakage measurements with their respective prior data. Results suggest that the mean of 6.5 ACH50 measured recently from the new homes was higher than the mean of 5.6 measured previously in 2001-2003. Calculations of the percentage change with respect to the prior ACH50 show that all but one new home show increases in ACH50. The median percentage increase in ACH50 is about 20% for new homes, but it is nearly zero for the weatherized homes. We performed a regression analysis to describe the relationship between prior and current measurements of ACH50. For the new homes, best estimate of the slope factor is approximately 1.15, meaning that the regression model predicts a 15% increase in ACH50 over ten years. On the other hand, analysis of the weatherized homes suggests no significant increase (slope factor near 1). Further analysis of the data is underway that will characterize the potential increase in air leakage among new homes using data from ResDB (LBNL's Residential Diagnostic Database). More understanding of the factors associated with building envelope durability will eventually lead to improvements in building materials and practices that are better at sustaining airtightness in the long run.

Death from Above is the fifth chapter in Soulstice wherein Briar and Lute face off against a Possessed boss enemy, Arrowhead. Not only does it attack from afar, it can also move at high speeds. Players will have to be on top of the fight and have good reflexes in order to defeat this boss.
See previous Soulstice Chapter 4: The Shadeless Guide.
In this guide, we will talk about the Arrowhead boss fight of Chapter 5: Death from Above in Soulstice.
Soulstice Chapter 5: Death from Above Walkthrough
Chapter 5 is mainly about the fight against Arrowhead. The duo will arrive at the Hallway of the Ramparts, and they will have to take the lift over to the Courtyard where the fight happens.
How to defeat Arrowhead
Arrowhead is an agile boss that uses a bow as its weapon. It can teleport to different spots in the arena and it has several attacks that it can use depending on its position and its current health level. Being a Possessed, it can only be dealt damage to if it is within Lute's Banishment Field. We will go through all of its attack patterns to know how to react and evade them.
Arrowhead Attacks and Moves
- Jump Teleport
Arrowhead jumps and moves to a different spot in the arena. This usually happens when Briar is too close to it to perform a ranged attack, so it repositions itself in the arena.
- Charged Shot
Arrowhead aims its bow at Briar, charges it, and releases a powerful shot. This attack can be evaded by dashing to the side as soon as the charging animation ends, as shown by the charging light disappearing to its body.
- Bow Swipe
Arrowhead swipes its bow in front of it. This attack happens when Briar is within its melee range and is usually followed up by a Jump Teleport. This attack can also be blocked by Lute.
- Summon Adds
At around 75% of its health, Arrowhead will teleport away and a short cutscene will play showing other enemies being summoned in the arena. These enemies will range from Broken, Pikemen, and Grievers, so make sure to have Lute ready to deflect and put up the Evocation Field when necessary. In succeeding attempts, it can even summon a Guard.
- Multishot
Arrowhead will hold its bow horizontally and charges it while four circles appear above it. It will then release a single arrow shot, followed by a delayed shot from each of the four circles. The charging time for this attack is slightly longer than the regular Charged Shot, and the delayed shots will still track you down, so make sure to dodge twice to evade both shots.
- Ethereal Shadows
At around 66% of its health, a cutscene will play showing Arrowhead teleporting to three spots and leaving its ethereal shadow behind. It will then jump high on top of a ledge and the PoV changes beside Arrowhead as it looks below the arena.
It will then fire its arrow at one of the shadows, causing it to release an arc attack that grows in a cone shape as it moves forward. This attack can be evaded by jumping over the arc. Lute's Evocation Shield will also be needed in order to deal damage to these shadows. The attack ends once all shadows are defeated.
Arrowhead will jump back down to the arena and it will be vulnerable for a few seconds. Depending on the length of the fight, this attack can happen once more, but with more shadows on the field.
- Arrow Rain
At around 33% of its health, a cutscene will play showing Arrowhead jumping up to a high position, pulls out a glaive from its back, and uses it as an arrow. It then aims up and shoots the arrow to the sky, releasing a rain of arrows down on the arena.
The locations where the arrows will land will be shown by a faint red line, so try to evade these spots. Once the arrows land, they will start growing tendrils that creep outwards to the ground. Use the Banishment Field and destroy one of these arrows to create a safe spot as these arrows will explode after a few seconds.
After the explosion, it will jump back down and take a while to recover, so use this time to land some hits on it.
Once its health is down to zero, a cutscene will play where Briar lands the killing blow, but not before Arrowhead manages to do its final assault.

There isn't a website owner on the planet who has not received an email or a few hundred promising higher Google placement, including Google.
Yes, even Google gets the emails promising Search Engine Optimization (SEO) miracles.
I am here to tell you there are no miracles. There are no shortcuts. There are no magic beans. SEO takes a bit of work. SEO takes an ongoing process of work as Google and the other search engines are all striving (like you should be) to be better at what they do. We all search online differently than we did 2 years ago, which is different than we did 5 years ago, and considerably different than we did 10 years ago. We use search engines to ask complicated questions and we expect those answers to appear on the first page of Google search. There are more than 2.9 billion searches conducted on Google alone…every day.
Not only do we expect an accurate answer, we expect a local answer to our question, and we expect it within seconds. The only way for search engines to do this is to read each and every website. The content of every website is then parsed, categorized, and memorized to provide the answer to whatever question is being asked. As smart as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is getting, it is still artificial, and for many things, dumb as a rock. The reason being, we as humans, are constantly changing how we speak and what words mean.
I recently saw a bit about language from comedian Jim Gaffigan that drove this point home to our community. Speaking on modern language, he commented that we will say things like "That jacket is sick. But you don't want a medical professional being like…your test results are sick." While we understand the comedy instantly and pretty instinctively, search engines do not. They have to be taught.
For example, while many of us use the term eyewear to speak to our customers and patients about eyeglasses, by a close to 3-1 margin consumers search eyeglasses over eyewear. Therefore, the websites who talk more about eyeglasses are going to get more visitors than the ones who speak strictly about eyewear. Google doesn't really know the difference and more to the point, neither do your customers.
Over the next months we will certainly delve deeper into things you can do to help your store or practice rank in search engines, let's go back to the beginning of this article where I mentioned all the emails every website owner receives from bots or robots about their website's SEO or ranking. Most are 100% total fabricated bull excrement designed to promise you an easy fix and do nothing but to make your wallet just a little lighter.
Yes, there are wonderful dedicated SEO professionals out there who will work on your website and your web presence to help you rank better. However, nothing happens overnight, and nothing last forever. Ranking high for something today doesn't mean you will tomorrow or next year, without constant vigilance and effort. Again, these are some things we plan on covering moving forward.
The one thing we want to leave you with today is, Search Engine Optimization takes place on the actual website. For years I have seen beautiful presentations about SEO cross the desk of many a client and former client (who still reach out for advice from time to time). These proposals talk all about how this company will do SEO work to bring more customers through the doors. One company promising increased traffic for a local accident focused law firm grew the web traffic a notable 10-15%. All the increased traffic came from Brazil, about 5,700 miles too far from this law firm to either obtain clients or practice law, but who is being picky?
Another more recent story comes from a chain of optical stores who signed up with an SEO company earlier this spring. They have been working together for almost 6 months now and as far as traffic to the website, well, last week saw a nice jump in the number of visits to their website. Turns out more visitors came from a state 1,300 miles away from where they do business than one of the states they actually operate in, but I digress.
Should you consider SEO? Absolutely. It should be baked into your website from the ground up. What if a company approaches you promising SEO miracles? Often they are selling nothing more than magic beans. Ask for references for starters, Ask how they plan on implementing their plan. Ask what measurements and metrics they plan on using and most of all, beware the plans that tell you it can all be done without actually working on your actual website.

Can Kanhaiya's entry alone save Congress?
text_fieldsThe entry of JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar and young Gujarat Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani into the party will help the Congress campaign nationally. But on the same day that Kanhaiya and Mevani stepped into the AICC headquarter, rumours started spreading that senior Punjab leader and former chief minister Amarinder Singh was leaving the party and Navjot Singh Sidhu was resigning as PCC president. On Wednesday, senior leader Kapil Sibal came out saying openly that the party's national leadership had seriously flawed in dealing with the Punjab crisis. In Kerala, the tensions within the Congress leadership are sharpening day by day. Kanhaiya Kumar's was a name that was noticed all over the country during the JNU student struggle. He was the representative of the student union of the CPI and the President of the University Union. Despite the party's low penetration in north India now, Kanhaiya became a star at the national level. The lack of leaders who knew how to speak to the people in plain Hindi was a major weakness of both the Communist parties. It is in such a context that Kanhaiya, who speaks musically in the vernacular, comes to the fore. The young man came to the forefront of the CPI. But differences with the leadership in his home state of Bihar soon erupted. That led to his resignation from the Communist party and now his entry into Congress. Whether the Congress benefits greatly from Kanhaiya or not, it is indeed a loss to the CPI. Kanhaiya Kumar is not someone who has any extraordinary political imagination beyond his excellent oratory. His views on modern politics do not go beyond the traditional left mainstream. But unlike Kanhaiya, Jignesh is one who has shown political imagination far above that. In the special case of Gujarat, it may benefit the Congress, the main opposition party there. It is only that the Congress should be able to integrate the views of people like Jignesh into the party's policy and program.
Parallel to the entry of Jignesh and Kanhaiya, the departure of eminent leaders on the other hand shows the present state of the Congress. The lack of an assertive national leadership is really troubling the party. Kapil Sibal's concern that there is not even a full-time party president reflects it. The first culprit in the party's setbacks in the strongholds of Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh is the ineptness of the central leadership. That is the reason for the current crisis in Punjab too. In the past, the party used to solve all problems by sending senior leaders as governors. Today the Raj Bhavans are not in the hands of the party. There is also the absence of a leader like Ahmed Patel who was known as the troubleshooter. Rahul Gandhi himself does not even know his role within the party. Technically, Sonia Gandhi is the president. However, her service is not available full-time. Even where the party has strong state units, rifts are creeping up and the central leadership is unable to deal with it fairly. If this goes on, the party will not have to wait long to weaken and disappear. The G-23, which includes leaders like Kapil Sibal, Shashi Tharoor and Ghulam Nabi Azad, has been talking for some time about the need to modernize the Congress internally. But the Congress leadership has not been able to take it seriously.
As for f the Sangh Parivar, all its moves are aimed at keeping power at the central level for some time to come. A national alternative that can overcome is yet to be formed. At the same time, there are active political outfits in various states borne out of regional, federal politics. They are strong in all the states outside the Hindi belt; they are in power in many places too. In such a context, the idea of a single national party against the Sangh Parivar is irrelevant. At the same time, the Congress has relevance as a party with a presence all over India. It is their job to unite the various currents against the Sangh Parivar and turn it into a national alternative. That is the party to do it, but old ideas and party practices will not suffice to achieve it. That is why the demand for an organizational and ideological overhaul is emerging from within the Congress itself. Does the Congress leadership get this message? If not, there is no point in showing enthusiasm over Kanhaiya and Mevani's joining the party.

American Obesity Association Negative Effects of being Overweight • Increased BMI increases risks of: – Osteoarthritis (OA) • Obesity is associated with the development of OA of the hand, hip, back and especially the knee. • Modest weight loss of 10 to 15 pounds is likely to relieve symptoms and delay disease progression of knee OA. – Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – Obesity increases the risk of DVT, a condition that disrupts the normal process of blood clotting. – Patients with obesity have an increased risk of DVT after surgery. – Gallstones – Obesity and rapid weight loss in obese persons are known risk factors for gallstones. – Gallstones are common among overweight and obese persons. Gallstones appear in persons with obesity at a rate of 30% versus 10% in non-obese. American Obesity Association Negative Effects of being Overweight – Birth Defects – Maternal obesity (BMI > 29) has been associated with an increased incidence of neural tube defects (NTD) – Obesity is reportedly associated with the increased incidence of overdue births, induced labor and longer labors. – Women with maternal obesity have more Cesarean deliveries and higher incidence of blood loss during delivery as well as infection and wound complication after surgery. – Complications after childbirth associated with obesity include an increased risk of endometrial infection and inflammation, urinary tract infection and urinary incontinence. American Obesity Association Negative Effects of being Overweight – Breast Cancer • Postmenopausal women with obesity have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. • Women who gain nearly 45 pounds or more after age 18 are twice as likely to develop breast cancer after menopause than those who remain weight stable. • Premenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer who are overweight appear to have a shorter life span than women with lower BMI. • The risk of breast cancer in men is also increased by obesity. – Colorectal Cancer • High BMI, high calorie intake, and low physical activity are independent risk factors of colorectal cancer. – Endometrial Cancer (EC) • Women with obesity have three to four times the risk of EC than women with lower BMI. – Renal Cell Cancer • Consistent evidence has been found to associate obesity with renal cell cancer, especially in women. American Obesity Association Negative Effects of being Overweight – Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) – Obesity increases CVD risk due to its effect on blood lipid levels. – Weight loss improves blood lipid levels by lowering triglycerides and LDL ("bad") cholesterol and increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol. – Weight loss of 5% to 10% can reduce total blood cholesterol. – The effects of obesity on cardiovascular health can begin in childhood, which increases the risk of developing CVD as an adult. – Overweight and obesity increase the risk of illness and death associated with coronary heart disease. – Obesity is a major risk factor for heart attack, and is now recognized as such by the American Heart Association.

Obese patients with acute pancreatitis are reported to develop significantly more complications, including respiratory failure, than non-obese. – Sleep Apnea – Obesity, particularly upper body obesity, is the most significant risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. – There is a 12 to 30-fold higher incidence of obstructive sleep apnea among morbidly obese patients compared to the general population. – Among patients with obstructive sleep apnea, at least 60% to 70% are obese. American Obesity Association Negative Effects of being Overweight – Stroke – Elevated BMI is reported to increase the risk of ischemic stroke independent of other risk factors including age and systolic blood pressure. – Abdominal obesity appears to predict the risk of stroke in men. – Obesity and weight gain are risk factors for ischemic and total stroke in women. – Surgical Complications – Obesity is a risk factor for complications after a surgery. – Surgical patients with obesity demonstrate a higher number and incidence of hospital acquired infections compared to normal weight patients. – Urinary Stress Incontinence – Obesity is a well-documented risk factor for urinary stress incontinence, involuntary urine loss, as well as urge incontinence and urgency among women. – Obesity is reported to be a strong risk factor for several urinary symptoms after pregnancy and delivery, continuing as much as 6 to 18 months after childbirth. American Obesity Association Negative Effects of being Overweight – Several other obesity-related conditions have been reported by various researchers including: • abdominal hernias, acanthosis nigricans, endocrine abnormalities, chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia, dermatological effects, depression, elephantitis, gastroesophageal reflux, heel spurs, hirsutism, lower extremity edema, mammegaly (causing considerable problems such as bra strap pain, skin damage, cervical pain, chronic odors and infections in the skin folds under the breasts, etc.), large anterior abdominal wall masses (abdominal paniculitis with frequent panniculitis, impeding walking, causing frequent infections, odors, clothing difficulties, low back pain), musculoskeletal disease, prostate cancer, pseudo tumor cerebri (or benign intracranial hypertension), and sliding hiatil hernia. American Obesity Association Calories In – Calories Out = Weight Loss • Weight loss can be achieved either by eating fewer calories or by burning more calories with physical activity, preferably both. • • • • A healthy weight loss program consists of: A reasonable, realistic weight loss goal – 2.5 lbs/week A reduced calorie, nutritionally-balanced eating plan Regular physical activity A behavior change plan to help you stay on track with your goals American Obesity Association Keep in Mind • • • • Calories count Portions count Nutrition counts Even a small amount of weight loss can lead to big health benefits Strive to develop good habits to last a lifetime • Feel free to discuss your weight loss plans with us! • To lose about 1 pound per week, subtract 500 calories each day from the daily amount.

Difficulty: Intermediate
Want to give your kitchen an inexpensive makeover? Whether you are selling your house or just want to give your kitchen a little facelift, one of the most cost-effective and simple methods is to replace the splashback.
In this article you'll find everything you need to install a tiled splashback in a weekend of D.I.Y. fun that should cost you less than $100.
Preparation and patience will go a long way to ensuring you get the best finish possible. And bear in mind, if you're going to lay mosaic tiles, it's a similar process but you'll need a special adhesive and a little more patience.
Measure your wall space to be tiled. When buying your tiles, add at least five percent extra for cuts and waste.
Take the time to properly tape up and protect your benchtop and floors. Use some old sheets or buy some cheap (ideally reusable) plastic to tape down to the benchtop.
Lay out your tools and materials in a way that will help you complete the job most cleanly and efficiently.
Getting your first row of tiles level is key to ensuring you have the best finish. Remember to take into account any slope in your benchtop. Set a level line for the length of the wall being tiled.
If you have a gap between benchtops, you will need to temporarily fix a piece of wood to the wall to provide a guide to lay level tiles.
Lay your first tiles by spreading adhesive on the wall with your notch trowel and pressing your tile onto it firmly. Use wedges to allow a small gap between your benchtop and the bottom of your tile. Place spacers between each tile - one near top of the tile and one near the bottom. Apply the same pressure when applying each tile to ensure a smooth finish.
Tip: To keep a constant flow, spread adhesive for the length of each row. And to avoid adhesive build-up in-between tiles which you have to clean out before grouting, wipe a pinky finger worth of adhesive away along adjoining edges of tiles before you lay each one.
If you are laying your tiles brickbond you need to start your second row with a half length tile. Hold on to the offcut (other half) as you'll be able to use it to finish that row or start your fourth row.
Stackbond is pretty self-explanatory - only requiring cuts on one end. But don't underestimate the extra complexity of maintaining perfectly level rows and straight columns, as any discrepancies are far more noticeable compared to brickbond.
Cutting around powerpoints and other obstacles doesn't need to be difficult. Simply line up your tile, mark where the powerpoint is (accounting for enough space for the powerpoint to fit into the wall) and make your cuts with the angle grinder. Take your time especially with finer cuts - a small mistake can easily ruin the tile.
Once you've laid all your tiles, give them at least 12 hours to dry before grouting.
Clean the excess adhesive off your tiles with a plastic scraper and cloth.
Once you've cleaned your tiles, mix your grout per the instructions on the packet with your drill and paint mixer. Getting the right consistency is key to an easier job and better finish.
When grouting, it is important to avoid being too pedantic as the more you work each grout line, the more you risk actually ruining the final finish. Simply spread your toothpaste like grout over your tiles and into the gaps with your rubber grouting trowel. Once you've filled it all, run over your tiles fairly firmly with a damp jumbo sponge to remove excess grout ensuring a smooth grout line between tiles. You need to avoid a coarse/rough finish.
Now leave it to dry before giving it a final wipe down and clean up.
Once you've cleaned up and your benchtop is dust free, apply a bead of silicone evenly along the bottom to fill the gap between benchtop and tile. It's also a good idea to seal your grout to help protect it from stains.
Now step back and bask in the glory of your work and put any pennies you have left over into your next project.

Unveiling the Benefits of Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that helps individuals achieve a more sculpted and toned appearance. It achieves this by removing excess fat from targeted areas of the body.
So if you want to enhance your lifestyle and confidence through body contouring, liposuction is the treatment you need.
Let's now take a look at the benefits of liposuction as well as the different techniques used in the process.
Liposuction Techniques
Liposuction, or lipoplasty, has evolved over the years, and several techniques are now available to cater to specific needs and preferences of patients.
Here's an overview:
- Tumescent liposuction: A saline solution containing anesthetic and adrenaline is injected into the treatment area. This solution causes the targeted fat to loosen, making it easier for the surgeon to remove it. It also minimizes bleeding and discomfort.
- Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL): Ultrasound energy liquefies the fat before it is removed. It is ideal for larger treatment areas such as the belly or thighs.
- Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL): Also known as SmartLipo or laser lipolysis, it uses laser energy to melt fat cells before they are eliminated.
- Power-assisted liposuction (PAL): A vibrating cannula breaks up and removes fat more efficiently. It is suitable for smaller treatment areas and minimizes discomfort.
The Perks of Choosing Liposuction
If you choose to undergo the liposuction procedure, you can experience several benefits, including:
Improved Body Contouring and Proportions
One of the primary benefits of liposuction is the ability to reshape and refine specific areas of the body, resulting in a more balanced and proportionate appearance.
By removing stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, liposuction can help create a smoother, more toned silhouette. Common areas treated with liposuction include the hips, abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and neck.
Enhanced Self-Confidence
A well-proportioned and contoured body can significantly improve an individual's self-confidence and overall well-being.
Addressing areas of concern and achieving a more desirable body shape, liposuction can lead to increased self-esteem, allowing individuals to feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.
Long-Lasting Results With Proper Maintenance
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas, meaning you can enjoy long-term results.
Note that significant weight changes can affect the appearance of treated areas, as remaining fat cells can expand and alter the body's contours. You should therefore try to maintain a healthy weight.
Combination With Other Procedures for Comprehensive Transformation
Liposuction is a versatile procedure that can be combined with other cosmetic surgeries to achieve a more comprehensive outcome.
For example, liposuction can be performed alongside a tummy tuck to eliminate excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, resulting in a flatter and firmer abdomen.
Additionally, it can be combined with breast augmentation or reduction to achieve a more balanced and harmonious upper body appearance.
By addressing multiple areas of concern in a single surgical session, patients can achieve their aesthetic goals and enjoy a more dramatic improvement in their overall appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight, have good skin elasticity, and have stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.
A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon can help determine if liposuction is right for you.
Can Liposuction Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes, liposuction can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as tummy tucks, breast augmentation, or facelifts, for a more comprehensive transformation.
How Long Does It Take To See the Final Results of Liposuction?
While some improvement may be noticeable immediately after surgery, the final results of liposuction can take one to three months to become visible as swelling subsides and the body adjusts to its new contours.
Are the Results of Liposuction Permanent?
The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is necessary to preserve the results, as weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to expand and alter the appearance of treated areas.
How Much Fat Can Be Removed During Liposuction?
The amount of fat that can be safely removed during liposuction depends on factors such as the patient's health, the size and number of treatment areas, and the surgeon's discretion.
Generally, removing more than 5 liters of fat in a single procedure is considered high-volume liposuction and carries a higher risk of complications.
Can Liposuction Help With Weight Loss?
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a body contouring treatment designed to remove localized pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
It is most effective for individuals who are already at or near their ideal body weight.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost?
The cost of liposuction varies depending on factors such as the surgeon's fees, the technique used, and the size and number of areas being treated.
On average, the procedure costs $3,600 per treatment area.
