Australian Manufacturer Of Hybrid Campers
Kelly Campers was born from a desire by Dave and Di Willoughby along with our Team to provide a cost effective, easy to use, secure, hybrid, off road camper.
About Us
Kelly Campers is Family owned and Bundaberg-based with over 50 years combined experience in the aluminium and stainless steel welding and fabrication industry (building and construction both domestic and commercial). We have staff qualified as pressure pipe welders and our Factory Manager has held aircraft welding qualifications having worked on aircraft for many years before joining us. We are committed as a team to providing our clients with a precise Australian built, robust camper that will safely take them wherever their dreams lie.
The Kelly Campers Story
In late 2014 we saw a need to provide people with a safe, easy to set up and pack away camper capable of going anywhere. We have been keen campers for over 40 years starting with our parents in tents then as teenagers in swags and then back to tents with a young family and eventually to a soft floor camper with teenagers. As time has moved on and our family has changed and perhaps... we have become a little bit older, we now crave ease and comfort so we set about designing a compact, fully off road, hybrid camper that filled all the requirements of easy, safe camping without limitations.
We have and still are investing heavily in research and development so that our product continues to evolve. We use our own CAD drawing program which means we design your camper from the ground up and it is then custom built to your personalised specifications and inclusions in our factory in Bundaberg which is of course home to other iconic brands such as Bundaberg Rum© and Bundaberg Ginger Beer©.
Why a Kelly Camper?
The Kelly Camper has been designed for serious off-road users with aluminium external sheeting and aluminium skeletal frame and insulated composite internal sheeting ensuring superior comfort in either hot or cold weather.
Utilising our Factory Manager's aircraft manufacturing skills we have been able to produce the Kelly Camper with an amazingly low towing weight whilst maintaining an incredibly tough all steel chassis including air bag suspension for the ultimate ride in any terrain. Your Kelly Camper can be built with the option of matching wheel track which when combined with a fully ADR compliant 50mm 360° off road hitch means you really will go anywhere in your Kelly Camper. There is also the option to custom colour match your camper's body and chassis for that extra eye-catching look.
Learn how easy it is to setup a Kelly Camper
Made local and built Australian
We have utilised Local and Australian products wherever possible using the following quality products. Redarc© for our Battery Management System, Stone Stomper© for optional stone protection, Supa Peg© for the fantastic fox wing awning and varied attachment options, ARK© 360º off road hitch and extreme off road jockey wheel, Vehicle Components© for the best suspension and Lift Easy© for the actuators that lift the electric push button controlled pop top. By using our skills in partnership with our Local and Australian support suppliers we are able to control the quality and brilliant finish of our campers.
Kelly Campers can also accommodate larger families with the addition of a tent which can be attached externally to the awning as an optional extra.

How to Make a Valentine's Day Rose Heart Craft for Kids
The Rose Heart Craft Project For Kids
Here's a Valentine's Day craft you will love making and it looks great when it's hanging up., Add a bit of class to your decor with this easy and fun to make felt craft project. Like any other craft, it might take some time to create this heart but it's well worth the effort.
Like any other project, I suggest you gather all your supplies and read over all the directions so you know what you need, you have it right in front of you, and you know what you have to do. So...if you want to make it now, why don't you gather your supplies and start reading so you can begin.
Step 1
Gather Your Supplies And Start Making Your Rose Heart
Step 1: Gather all the materials needed for this tutorial:
- A thick piece of colored cardstock, posterboard, or cardboard in the color of your choice
- A thinner sized piece of colored cardstock or cardboard in the color of your choice
- A 1.5-cm. thick red ribbon
- Red felt
- A pencil
- Short pointed craft scissors (or manicure scissors)
- Regular scissors
- Ruler
- X-Acto type cutter
- Pattern paper
- Hot glue
As with any craft project that involves scissors or a razor style cutter - watch the kids! Don't let them use anything sharp or dangerous...the same goes for the hot glue gun. Those items should be handled only by Mom!
Step 2
Step 2: Draw a heart shape onto your pattern paper.
Step 3
Step 3: Cut your heart shape pattern.
Step 4
Step 4: Using hot glue, glue the heart shaped pattern onto the middle of your thick piece of cardboard. Set it aside so it can dry and continue with the next steps of your project.
Step 5
Step 5: Cut several circles in different sizes from your red felt. You are going to need a lot of these since you are going to fill up the entire heart shape with them. Of course, how many you will need exactly will depend on how big you want your rose heart to be.
Step 6
Step 6: Using the smaller scissors, cut each felt circle in a swirling fashion (take a good look at the picture above). Start from the outside and work your way to the center...BUT make sure NOT to cut the center...keep the strip intact.
Step 7
Step 7: Now it's time to make the rose. You will do this by starting to roll them from the inside end of the cut red felt swirl. Roll it (not too tight, not too loose) onto itself as shown in the picture and make a bud...give it a dab of glue to hold it into place. You can also use craft glue so you don't burn yourself. When you are done, hot glue the bottom of the finished "rose". Before you glue it, check the photo to see that you have done this step correctly. The first few might be a bit difficult, but it will get easier as you make more. If you are having any problems, just study the picture. You may have to play with each rose to give it the shape you are looking for.
There's a how to video below if you feel like you need more instruction. The video shows you how to make a paper rose but the felt will work the same way.
Step 8
Step 8: Fill your heart pattern with the felt roses. Spread the felt roses out and cover the pattern completely. Use smaller roses to fill in any spaces between the larger roses. Use hot glue to secure the roses in place when you have placed them where you want them.
Step 9
Step 9: Use the thinner cardboard to make a "frame" for your heart shaped rose art. You can make the border as thick or thin as you like.
Step 10
Step 10: Using hot glue, glue the border or frame to the piece of cardboard with the roses on it.
Step 11
Step 11: Cut a piece of red ribbon and make it 4 to 6 centimeters in length. You will be using this as a hanger on the back of the picture, so you can also use string.
Step 12
Step 12: Use the hot glue gun to glue the ribbon onto the back of your art.
Step 13
Step 13: Now step back and take a look...your beautiful, homemade work of art is done!
Your Finished Rose Heart Craft For Kids
Okay, it's time to hang your work of art. I bet you are pretty proud of yourself, this craft looks more involved and difficult than it really is. I hope you like your picture.

Weber Kelly Preserve
The Preserve is open free of charge to the public from dawn to dusk.
Ecology of the Preserve
Mixed Woods
Red oak, hemlock and pine dominate the woods, a habitat favored by warblers, woodpeckers, and owls. Red tailed hawks cruise the margins for unwary mice. Deer and raccoon forage the land.
Salt Marsh
Endangered short-nosed sturgeon, striped bass and many seagoing fish visit Sagadahoc Bay, protected by the wetlands of the Preserve. Ducks and migrating birds feed along the shores. Great blue heron and snowy egret wade the tidal banks of the creek in this nationally significant wildlife habitat. Salt marshes are nurseries for many commercial fish species.
Geology of the Preserve
The Preserve is located in the geologic domain known as the Avalon Terrane, a piece of Europe that was accreted to North America about 360-400 million years ago.
The bedrock is thinly bedded metamorphic rock, including amphibolite, granofels, and schist, of Ordovician age (~500-450 million yr). The dark gray and rusty colored rocks are intruded by light-colored pegmatites that have exceptionally large crystals and may contain gemstones such as aquamarine, beryl, and tourmaline. In the late 1800s, pegmatites in the Midcoast region were quarried for feldspar used as an abrasive and in the manufacture of porcelain. One such quarry occurs on the preserve and can be seen from the southernmost path a short walk from Bay Point Road.
- Driving Directions -
Take Route 127 south from Route 1. Go 8 miles to Bay Point Road, turn right. Preserve parking area and kiosk is located two miles south on the left. View Map.

Dalet, a leading provider of solutions and services for broadcasters and content professionals, extends the Interoperable Master Format (IMF) capabilities and collaborative workflows within the new Dalet Galaxy five solution. Shown at NAB 2018 on booth SL8010, the Dalet Galaxy five component-based approach to IMF provides an exceptional user experience for maximum efficiency – simplifying IMF production and delivery workflows with visually intuitive graphical tools and automation. "The overall change in moving from traditional workflow to Dalet's IMF component-based approach is more than a technical uplift, it's a change in the business value model," states Matthieu Fasani, product manager, Dalet. "All too often a facility can be perceived as a provider of tapes and files that satisfy individual creative projects, but the real goal here is to move into a position of being able to fulfil a continuous business need by providing a technical back office and, potentially, a store-front for fulfilling the national and international distribution requirements. Dalet enables this by demystifying the complexity of IMF, industrializing the process with a component-based approach that is incredibly flexible and quick to adopt across organizations."
Tedial, the leading independent MAM technology solutions specialist will take its IMF solution and new Augmented STorage (AST) system to SMPTE 17 Conference & Exhibition in Australia, the regions premier forum for Broadcast, Media and Entertainment technology. The solutions will be demonstrated in Magna Systems and Engineerings Stand B46 at the event, which will be held from 18 21 July in the International Convention Centre located in Sydney.

Nowadays, the audit firms, including the Big 4 in the world adopt an top-down audit approach, so called 'Risk- based audit'. The deemed high risk areas (account) are the focus of the auditors ? Only minimal work will be done for the less-risky area.
However, the problem is auditors are the one who use the professional judgement to justify what area are risky. And, auditors might fail to identify the risky area of the business. Hence, no works were done for the risky area of the business!

I'm a pretty busy gal ~ but its a fun life that never has any dull moments! This past weekend we attended a great airshow put on by Fort Campbell, KY in celebration of 70 years of the 101st Airborne! I am so very proud to be a military wife. It is by far, not an easy job. But one that I consider myself blessed to be!
Here in Tennessee, we enjoy lots of summer storms. Some are severe, and some are just really nice! This morning was a nicer one, but it brought some trippy clouds!

There warn't anybody at the church, except maybe a hog or two, for there warn't any lock on the door, and hogs likes a puncheon floor in summer-time because it's cool. If you notice, most folks don't go to church only when they've got to; but a hog is different.

text: First Thing Today (VIP) -- May 2, 2013 May 2, 2013 01:21 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Pro Farmer Editors Email GOOD MORNING! FIRMER TONE IN GRAINS... As of 6:30 a.m. CT, corn futures are trading 6 to 9 cents higher, soybeans are 8 to 10 cents higher in old-crop contracts and mixed in new-crop contracts (November soybeans are around 2 cents higher), Chicago wheat futures are mostly 5 to 7 cents higher, Kansas City wheat is 6 to 8 cents higher and Minneapolis wheat is mostly 8 to 9 cents higher. The U.S. dollar index is firmer this morning as investors await the interest rate decision from the European Central Bank (rate cut is expected). DAY 2 HRW TOUR RESULTS... Scouts on Day 2 of the Wheat Quality Council HRW tour found lower yield potential compared to year-ago, as expected, through western and southern Kansas and far northern Oklahoma. Tour samples unveiled an average yield of 37.1 bu. per acre compared to 43.7 bu. per acre on similar routes last year and a five-year average of 39.5 bu. per acre. An independent tour in Oklahoma forecasts wheat production in that state of 85.583 million bu. (25.45 bu. per acre yield), down from 154.8 million bu. (36 bu. per acre yield) last year. Scouts will take samples today on routes from Wichita to Kansas City, where the tour concludes. Final tour results and an average guesstimate of the Kansas wheat crop by tour scouts will be released this afternoon. REPORT: USDA MIGHT ESCAPE FURLOUGHS... A Government Executive article says, "The Agriculture Department will not have to furlough employees at the Farm Service Agency this fiscal year, and hopes to avoid putting workers at the Rural Development division on unpaid leave because of budget cuts. If Rural Development escapes the furlough ax that means the department's roughly 94,000 employees are off the hook in Fiscal 2013," which ends Sept. 30. An Agriculture spokeswoman confirmed that furloughs are not on the table for any other agencies now in the department. USDA was able to avert furloughs at FSA by freezing hiring, cutting discretionary operating and contract expenses and transferring unused funds from a conservation program to cover salaries. Sec. Tom Vilsack notified congressional appropriators in an April 23 letter that he intends to use the department's special limited authority -- known as interchange transfer authority -- to shift money within the Rural Development division to avoid furloughs there. Congress has 30 days to review the request, so employees at Rural Development should know their fate by late May. Many still wonder why Vilsack and his officials didn't find similar flexibility to avoid meat inspector furloughs before Congress had to fix the matter. FARM BILL TO BE IMPACTED BY SEQUESTER, BUT NO POLICY CHANGES EXPECTED... The May Congressional Budget Office (CBO) baseline update, against which the current Senate and House farm bills are being scored, will incorporate the sequester, up front, over a nine-year timeframe, sources advise. CBO has recently decided to reduce the agriculture baselines to account for the full 9-year sequester up front. The House and Senate Agriculture Committee farm bills are expected to save $38 billion and $23 billion, respectively. Sources indicate those targets will still be met. The only difference is that part of those savings will be used to satisfy the sequester (perhaps up to $8 billion, although no figure has officially been announced) and the remainder will go directly to deficit reduction. We're told this does not alter anything for the farm bill and it appears to be essentially an accounting issue. LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY GROUPS PROVIDE COMMENTS ON 'NEGATIVE IMPACT OF THE RFS'... Seven livestock and poultry groups submitted comments to the House Energy and Commerce Committee on what they said were the negative effects the federal Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) has had on agriculture, including the high cost of feed facing livestock and poultry producers. The comments answer several questions posed by the committee on the impact of the RFS. "The RFS has been the major driver in increasing corn use for ethanol production, and causing corn stocks to decline to crisis levels," the comments state. "In a market-driven world, ethanol would be priced competitively with gasoline. That has never been true in the entire history of the industry." The groups submitted a study to support their comments. MORE NEGATIVE CHINESE MANUFACTURING DATA... China's final HSBC purchasing managers' index (PMI) dropped to 50.4 in April from 51.6 in March, further signaling a slowdown in the country's vast manufacturing sector last month. The new export orders sub-index fell to 48.4, the first time it has signaled contraction (below 50) this year and the lowest reading since October 2012. WEEKLY EXPORT SALES REPORT OUT THIS MORNING... For the week ended April 25, traders expect: corn sales between 800,000 and 1 million MT; wheat sales between 300,000 and 500,000 MT; soybean sales between 600,000 and 900,000 MT; soymeal sales between 150,000 and 250,000 MT; and soyoil sales between 0 and 15,000 MT. CASH CATTLE TRADE STEADY DESPITE SURGING CHOICE BOXED BEEF PRICES... Cash cattle trade got started at $128 in Kansas and Texas and at $130 in Nebraska Wednesday afternoon, price levels steady with week-ago. The early sales at that price were surprising as Choice boxed beef prices surged to $199.49 Wednesday, which was only $1.69 below the all-time high of $201.18 that was posted on Oct. 16, 2003. That's largely why feedlot interest in selling cattle at steady prices was relatively limited. PORK MARKET BOUNCES BACK... The pork cutout value got back 67 cents of what it lost Tuesday and movement improved to a strong 522.1 loads yesterday. Despite a stronger product market, some plants are cutting in the red as cash hog bids have outpaced the product market recently. Still, cash hog bids are expected to remain steady to firmer across the Midwest as packers are competing for a tightening supply of market-ready hogs. OVERNIGHT DEMAND NEWS... Jordan purchased 50,000 MT of optional origin wheat and tendered to buy another 150,000 MT of optional origin wheat. India tendered to export 100,000 MT of wheat. Back to news

In a newly uncovered, forgotten ancient site discovered in Maine, a scientist accidentally activates an ancient mechanism - thousands of miles away in England, the stones of Stonehenge rotate and a powerful force kills the tourists visiting the site. A military lock-down is put into place, but fringe scientist Jacob (Misha Collins) flies to the UK and watches as the stones move again and more people are killed. Meanwhile a British team led by Dr. Trousdale (Peter Wingfield) are investigating the events and have to watch in horror as the stones activate super-volanic eruptions from ancient temples around the world...
Stonehenge Apocalypse is part of a swathe of eschatological films produced in the 2000s for the video market or the ubiquitous SyFy Channel. Co-written by director Paul Ziller (also behind Polar Storm (2009)), the script here does at least take a slightly different approach to the usual meterological terrors and gives as an admittedly nutty storyline (with the usual "fringe scientist is proven right" genre cliché) but one that is treated seriously and is at least relatively consistent to itself.
Most importantly, the script avoids the usual 'disaster movie' subplots with their extrenuous characters and instead focuses mostly on the scientists trying to stop the impending doom - the first half of the film is enjoyable and well paced as the scientists have to try and understand what is going on, while disasters occur around the world. The film suffers in the second half with the bizarre decision to have three characters fly to America to recover an artefact they need (given the counting clock there is no plausible reason why it could not just have been sent over in half the time needed for a return flight) only to run into a group opposed to them which just seems to exist to add some gratuitous gunfight scenes - the entire American sequence, although adding some extra threat does some across as superfluous to the storyline. Fortunately the climax is tense and there is a fitting finalé with a neat ending.
Behind the camera Paul Ziller works well with the low budget, using CGI effects only when necessary (and they do look better than most of those in the genre), with a straight forward shooting manner rather than the overediting of many similar films. The historical site itself is of course a reconstruction, but doesn't look too bad and the stone moving shots look good.
Stop billed is Misha Collins who does a good job as Jacob, managing to come off as suitably abrasive in the early scenes without becoming simply annoying. Peter Wingfield is the best cast, playing the lead British scientist and giving the film a real touch of class. Performances in general are solid and importantly they all play the material straight.
Stonehenge Apocalypse feels a lot like an episode of the new generation Dr. Who series, particularly with Peter Wingfield (who is even referred to as Doctor at points) presaging the casting of Peter Capaldi in the role. It is a pretty enjoyable film, without the excessive padding of many genre titles and with better than average special effects and acting, it is only let down slightly by a somewhat gratuitous action subplot in the second half. Genre fans and newcomers will find plenty to enjoy here, particularly since it often falls into the "so bad its fun" category and for fans of Collins and Wingfield they get plenty of screentime.
|Anyone famous in it?
Misha Collins - plays the angel Castiel in the televison series Supernatural (2005-)
Peter Wingfield - best known for playing the Mythos character in Highlander: The Series (1992-98)

Lindsay Lohan has joined Harry Potter's Rupert Grint and Hot Fuzz's Nick Frost as part of the cast of Sky 1's new comedy Sick Note.
The Mean Girls star will join the show for its second series, with the first due to air in the autumn of this year.
The show follows Daniel Glass (Grint), who is a compulsive liar and stuck in a failing relationship and a dead-end job.
He is also wrongly diagnosed with a terminal illness by his incompetent doctor (Frost), and when the truth emerges, his doctor convinces him to hide the misdiagnosis in a lie that spirals out of control.
Lohan will play Katerina West, the daughter of Glass's boss Kenny (Don Johnson) in the second series, which has begun filming.
Sky's Head of Comedy Jon Mountague said: "One lie leads to the next in this unsettlingly brilliant comedy that will hook viewers in and have them on the very edge of their seats.
"Filming for series two is already under way and we're delighted to confirm Lindsay Lohan will be joining Rupert and Nick in this stellar comedy cast."
Lohan has been keeping busy of late, having also landed her own reality TV show called The Anti-Social Network. The show will see her hijack people's social media in a Punk'd style.
Sick Note will premiere its first run in the autumn on Sky 1 and NOW TV.

In reply to Lamictal Skin Rash, posted by Miriamne on July 8, 2005, at 10:59:00
> I'm a recently returned member of this site with a question about a Lamictal side effect.
> I've been taking 200 mg of Lamictal/day for several years, with good results. My dr has always emphasised that I need to be concerned if I get a skin rash. Just recently I went up to 250mg/day, and my skin seems to be reacting to any slight irritation. I have a welt on each forearm-- they seem to be getting larger, itchier and ickier by the day. When I put band-aids over them, the skin under the sticky part of the band-aid turned red and itchy, too.
> I use an estrogen patch, and that skin area turned bright red and hot to the touch. So now I don't know which is worse, to continue to irritate my skin, or remove my source of estrogen (not a pleasant thought.)
> I have calls in to my shrink and my gyno, but I would love to hear from anyone, medical or otherwise, who has experience and knowledge of the skin problems associated with Lamictal. I understand that the rash can be extremely serious and I don't want to take the risk of this getting worse.
> Many thanks for any help!
> Miriamne
Stop taking the Lamictal immediately and go to see a dermatologist today.
I had the SJS rash but caught it early and what you describe sounds like it.
I don't want to be alarmist but this is serious!
Take care of yourself.

Crystal Lake Property Owners Association is a gated association of 137 homes. The association is located in Pearland just off 288 at the corner of Hughes Ranch Road and Cullen.
The Association's Board consists of five very active and enthusiastic Board Members. The Board continually works hard to keep the association looking great at all times. The Board of Directors has actively enforced the deed restriction in the Association and work very hard with residents to keep the property values high in Crystal Lake.
The Association has just completed three very major projects for 2007 and Board Members put 100% of their time in completing these projects. The projects were to install two security cameras at their main entrance, a new telephone entry system for entering gates and had gates sand blasted, power coated, welded where needed and painted. With not only the every day affairs of the Association; the Board has put a lot of volunteer hours to achieve the struggles of the community.
C.I.A. Services would like to extend a huge thanks and hats off to the residents for being so patient during this period while the gates were down.
Thanks to all volunteers who continue to support the Board in their efforts in making Crystal Lake a wonderful and safe Association for raising children and /or retiring.
C.I.A. Services is proud to manage Crystal Lake Property Owners Association and work with such enthusiastic leaders and residents.

We don't know how their relationship will end since the manga is on hiatus, but we do know that both care about each other. Either way I enjoy their relationship, but it would be so sad if they don't finally get each other. I think they would be a great married couple.

Today, more than 200 individual clinical conditions are counted among the various forms of rheumatic illnesses. What they have in common are inflammatory reactions in joints, tendons, connective tissue, blood vessels or the skin. An erroneous regulation of the immune system causes the body to attack its own cells. Not everyone suffering from a joint disease has rheumatism, and not everyone with a rheumatoid factor found in the blood has a rheumatic illness.
The following fall into the category of inflammatory rheumatic illnesses (caused by an autoimmune deficiency)
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (Chronic Polyarthritis)
- Spondylitis ankylosans (Morbus Bechterew)
- Psoriasis Arthritis (Joint Inflammation with Psoriasis)
- Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
- Reactive Arthritis (following infections with borrelia, chlamydia, yersinia, shigella, salmonella, mycoplasma and campylobacter)
- Collagenoses
- Lupus erythematodes
- Sclerodermia
- Sjögren Syndrome
- Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis
- Morbus Wegener
- Vasculitides (inflammatory diseases of the blood vessels)
- Polymyalgia rheumatica (inflammatory rheumatism of the body's soft parts)
Metabolism Disorders, accompanied by inflammatory joint diseases
- Gout (caused by crystals of uric acid or other crystals in the joint)
- Hemochromatosis (iron metabolism disorder)
- Polyarthrosis (hereditary premature joint degeneration)
Rheumatism is not an illness that only affects older people. Children and young people can contract it, too. Frequent cases of rheumatism in the family may indicate a hereditary disposition.
The signs of rheumatoid arthritis are spontaneous painful swellings and redness of one or several joints.
Often, the joints at the base of fingers, but also knee, elbow, hand and shoulder joints are affected. Morning stiffness is typical, and the joints' flexibility improves over the course of the day and with the help of exercise. The illness frequently proceeds in stages, over weeks and months, often followed by painless intervals. The progressive destruction of the joint is the work of aggressive cells, which produce enzymes (collagenases) that infiltrate cartilage and bones, destroy their structure and ultimately result in arthrosis.
Suspicions of a rheumatic disease can be clarified through a precise interview of the patient and the examination of all typically affected joints, using ultrasonographic examination or the help of imaging procedures such as x-ray and magnetic resonance tomography. Blood and serum tests may confirm the diagnosis.
Yet the results of testing the blood for presence of what is called a rheumatoid factor may also be positive for other diseases such as hepatitis C, endocarditis (an inflammation of the heart's muscle) or parasitoses. A negative result does not exclude rheumatoid arthrosis. The determination of the anti-citrulline antibody (ACPA) is more specific. In most cases, the blood sedimentation rate and the CRP value in the blood are heightened. For a diagnosis of Morbus Bechterew, HLA B27 must be determined, and in cases of a suspected collagenosis, ANA and AMA must be tested.
Therapy administers anti-inflammatory drugs such as Antirheumatic Drugs (Diclofenac, Ibuprofen or Coxibe). Cortisone preparations can be used systematically, in the form of pills or through local injections, in order to stop the joint's degeneration. Basic therapeutic preparations (Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, etc.) and recently also Biologicals (TNF Blockers), though they can not heal the disease, may delay the structural destruction of the body's joints and soft parts.
Surgical treatment of rheumatic diseases makes sense in cases where the degenerative process in a joint can not be stopped by medication but only though the removal of the joint's inner membranes (synovectomy). In individual cases, a radioactive substance is injected into the joint.
In many cases of advanced degeneration of the joint, the patient's quality of life can be improved today by the surgical replacement of the joint (total endoprosthesis - TEP).

Thank You, Comrade Stalin!: Soviet Public Culture from Revolution to Cold War
Princeton University Press, 2000 - 319 էջ
Thank you, our Stalin, for a happy childhood." "Thank you, dear Marshal [Stalin], for our freedom, for our children's happiness, for life." Between the Russian Revolution and the Cold War, Soviet public culture was so dominated by the power of the state that slogans like these appeared routinely in newspapers, on posters, and in government proclamations. In this penetrating historical study, Jeffrey Brooks draws on years of research into the most influential and widely circulated Russian newspapers--including Pravda, Isvestiia, and the army paper Red Star--to explain the origins, the nature, and the effects of this unrelenting idealization of the state, the Communist Party, and the leader.
Brooks shows how, beginning with Lenin, the Communists established a state monopoly of the media that absorbed literature, art, and science into a stylized and ritualistic public culture--a form of political performance that became its own reality and excluded other forms of public reflection. He presents and explains scores of self-congratulatory newspaper articles, including tales of Stalin's supposed achievements and virtue, accounts of the country's allegedly dynamic economy, and warnings about the decadence and cruelty of the capitalist West. Brooks pays particular attention to the role of the press in the reconstruction of the Soviet cultural system to meet the Nazi threat during World War II and in the transformation of national identity from its early revolutionary internationalism to the ideology of the Cold War. He concludes that the country's one-sided public discourse and the pervasive idea that citizens owed the leader gratitude for the "gifts" of goods and services led ultimately to the inability of late Soviet Communism to diagnose its own ills, prepare alternative policies, and adjust to new realities.
The first historical work to explore the close relationship between language and the implementation of the Stalinist-Leninist program, Thank You, Comrade Stalin! is a compelling account of Soviet public culture as reflected through the country's press.

It started out as a laid back sort of weekend. I escorted my lovely wife to the mall for some retail therapy and to be patriotic by stimulating the local economy. Big place that mall, and Theresa didn't bring her cell phone. When we got separated and I couldn't find her for about two hours, well I had to improvise.
So I walked up to this drop dead gorgeous blond and said "I've lost my wife here in the mall so do you mind if I talk to you for a couple minutes?" The woman looked at me without smiling and asked "Why do you want to talk to me?" With a grin from ear to ear I replied "Because every time I talk to a woman with tits like yours, my wife appears out of nowhere." Before I could get all that out Theresa starts tapping on my shoulder.
"Do you want to die in this mall tonight?" she asked, and I said "No honey I want to die making sweet passionate love to you." Then she snickered "Well at least we know it will be fast."
But thats not where this story ends. As we were walking into the dollar discount theater who should I see but a guy off America's Most Wanted, who is being sought for several rapes and murders. Well by God I'm not going to just let this asshole walk away, so I run across the lobby as fast as I can, dive through the air for a good three feet and tackle the bum. While he was down, I kicked him and punched him and choked him until he lost consciousness. Then I sat on him until the police arrived and arrested me.
Thats right arrested me. Apparently they use actors on that show.
Anyway I made bail, and lived to blog another day. Catch ya later.

First Year Post Graduation, No expectations, just reality: A Rollercoaster Ride, By: Kristaps Ronis, Class of 2012 Master of Quantitative Finance
Kristaps Ronis, upon graduating, he faced new professional challenges, from starting a career in Hong Kong to building a financial services firm from scratch, Ion Pacific. He talks more about the personal challenges him and his team faced in order to build a successful company from the ground up in Hong Kong. Starting from a small apartment in Hong Kong to a world-class provider of financial services. Here's his story today.
It was the summer of 2014: I graduated from PHBS to begin my full time career in Hong Kong. Looking back, it seems a bit crazy – within a 30-day period I had gotten married, graduated from my master's program, moved to Hong Kong and started my investment banking job there. I joined a local firm called Reorient Financial Markets, a Hong Kong based investment bank focused on cross-border M&A and institutional / retail sales & trading. I had previously done my internship there the summer before and was quite happy to find a full time role that would allow me to stay in Asia long-term.

While I joined the firm where I had interned before, this time around it was a full time role and hence substantially different from my internship experience. I had gotten used to 17-hour working days and frequent weekend work during my internship days, but this time around there was no end to it in sight, no internship review, no 'this is going to be over in eight weeks and I am going back to my comfy dorm room in Shenzhen where I can take four-hour naps'. To be clear, I take my naps very seriously!
Although it was extremely demanding and fast-paced, the experience was rewarding. Soon after I joined full-time, our team closed the US$800mn sale of the UK-based House of Fraser department stores to Sanpower group in Nanjing – at that time, the largest outbound Consumer & Retail acquisition by an A-shares listed Chinese company. There was a number of exciting projects that our team was working on –within one week, we could be looking at financing solar space ships, acquiring a personal jet pack company or backing SEA entrepreneurs with an idea around anti-drone protection solutions. 'How crazy is that?' – I thought.
A major turning point in my career was in early 2015 when YF Capital, a private equity firm backed by Jack Ma of Alibaba, the firm that I worked for began an acquisition of a substantial stake in Reorient. They were planning to completely change the firm's business model and turn it into a wealth management platform for mainland high net worth individuals. It was rather clear that an international M&A team would not have much to do under the new setup. After a few weeks of uncertainty and exploration of alternative career opportunities in town, the two Co-heads of Investment Banking invited me to join them to build a new investment-banking venture.

This is how Ion Pacific was born. An investment and merchant bank that currently has over 20 staff between Hong Kong and London offices, a global group of outstanding shareholders and an exceptional pipeline of world-class deals was established in a tiny apartment in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong. It has been an adventure on its own – being a part of building a truly global financial services venture from scratch, and seeing it all come together through collective contribution.
Looking back – my first year in Hong Kong was a true rollercoaster ride. From a turbulent start of moving to a new city with my recently married wife, starting a full time job in one of the global financial centers, quickly having to decide on the next move when things went sideways, to being a founding team member of a successful new investment bank. As I have always said to myself – Asia is full of opportunities, and it is our choice as to whether we decide to take the correct steps to achieve our goals here. The path to success here is much longer here than in our home countries and the going is likely to get tough – but if you really know what you want, you can achieve it here for sure!
