Metcalf is a 12′ 11″ / 4 m monohull sailboat designed by C. William Lapworth and built by Schock W.D. starting in 1960.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat's D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat's hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat's motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Originally built by Darby Metcalf and raced at Balboa YC, Newport Beach CA (USA).

Everything You Need to Know About Towing for Uber Cars
As the popularity of ride-sharing companies like Uber continues to grow, so too does the need for towing services to help transport disabled or impounded vehicles. As a towing network, providing services to Uber cars can be a profitable venture, but it's essential to understand the unique regulations and requirements of this type of towing.
Uber has revolutionized the transportation industry, making it easier than ever for people to get from point A to point B. However, with so many cars on the road, it's inevitable that some will break down or get into accidents. This is where towing companies like yours come in, delivering essential services to get these vehicles off the road and to a repair shop. By understanding the exact needs of Uber cars, you can position your towing business for success in this growing market.
Types of Towing Services for Uber Cars in Brickeys 72320
When it comes to towing Uber cars, there are many different types of services you may be called on to provide. These include: Flatbed towing: This is the most popular type of towing for Uber cars, as it is the safest and most safe way to transport a vehicle. Flatbed trucks have a flat, level surface that the vehicle can be loaded onto, providing stability and protection during transport. Wheel-lift towing: This type of towing uses a metal yoke that is attached to the front or rear wheels of the vehicle, lifting it off the ground and onto the back of a truck. While not as safe as flatbed towing, wheel-lift towing is still a viable option for Uber cars that are not severely damaged. Private property towing: In some cases, Uber cars may be parked on private property without permission. In these situations, a towing network may be called on to remove the vehicle. It's essential to be familiar with state and local laws regarding private property towing, as well as to have proper documentation, such as a tow release form, before proceeding.
Towing any vehicle comes with its own set of rules and regulations, and Uber cars are no exception. It's essential to be familiar with state and local laws regarding towing for Uber cars, as well as any exact regulations set forth by the ride-sharing network. Some key areas to pay attention to include: Insurance requirements: Uber cars are typically covered by the network's insurance policy, but it's essential to check with them to make sure that your towing business is also covered. Best practices for safely towing Uber cars: This can include using the proper equipment and methods, as well as ensuring that the vehicle is secured properly during transport.
There are times when you can't estimate what type of towing you need. Call our professionals and describe the situation in detail, answer our dispatcher's questions, and maybe instead of service or in addition to it, you will need LIGHT DUTY TOWING, LOCAL TOWING, LOW CLEARANCE TOWING, FUEL DELIVERY or JUMP START
Preparing Your Towing Business for Uber Cars
In order to provide towing services for Uber cars, it's essential to have the right equipment and resources. Some key items to consider include: Flatbed trucks: As mentioned earlier, flatbed towing is the preferred process for Uber cars, so it's essential to have the proper equipment on hand. Training: Your employees should be properly trained and qualified in towing methods, as well as familiar with state and local laws regarding towing for Uber cars. Building a network of partnerships: By building relationships with Uber and other ride-sharing companies, you can position your business for success in this market.
Once you have prepared your business for towing Uber cars, the next step is to let people know that you are ready to provide these services. Here are some ways to market and advertise your towing services for Uber cars: Reach out to Uber and other ride-sharing companies directly: By building relationships with these companies, you can create a steady stream of business for your towing network. Utilize online platforms: Creating a website and social media presence for your business can help you reach a wider audience and showcase your services. Network with other businesses: Building relationships with repair shops, car rental companies, and other businesses that serve the ride-sharing market can help you generate more business. Use traditional advertising methods: Advertising in local newspapers, radio, and television can also be effective in reaching potential customers.

Placing responsibiliy where it counts. There's something I've been wondering about. I've noticed that the majority of traffic 'safety' campaigns seem to focus on everything except the bull in the china shop - the automobile. It's a global tendency, stemming from the seemingly irreversible prescence of cars and trucks. I find it odd that so few campaigns actually place the focus firmly on the problem: the large, heavy, dangerous machines that rumble about our streets and the people who seem to have difficultly controlling them. The billboard prototype above is a logical illustration of how traffic safety campaigns should be focused.
In Frederiksberg, the city in which I live - not surprisingly it is staunchly conservative/right wing - these posters were slapped up recently. It rhymes in Danish, but reads "She checked her text messages, and died in the process."
What a stupid girl. Cars are everywhere and they're not going anywhere anytime soon. It's her own damn fault for impeding their route. Think of the poor motorist who had no choice in running her down. He/she was just regular citizen on their way to or from work. Not only were they forced to suffer the mental anguish of killing a text-messaging pedestrian [shockingly sans walking helmet], but they were made to wait around at the scene of the accident, be interviewed by the police and they were probably late for dinner/work.
So someone let a bull into society's china shop. We all realise that and it doesn't look like the bull is going anywhere. All the fragile fine china on the shelves is getting knocked about and smashed on a regular basis. [An estimated 1.2 million people are killed in motor vehicle accidents every year around the world].
It seems quite ridiculous that nobody is talking about the bull. Instead there is constant talk of wrapping up all the pieces of porcelain in thin bubble wrap and tsk-tsking about how dangerous it is to even CONSIDER placing fine china on the shelves of a china shop now that there's a bull stampeding about. Meanwhile the bull just shit on the floor in aisle 9 and tipped another shelf over. Crash bang boom. Here's a radical idea. If it proves too difficult to remove the bull entirely from the china shop, what about lassoing it and tethering it to a fixed object? Restricting its movements and not letting it run about? Castrating it and calming it? If need be, creating a pen within the china shop where it can graze, out of reach of the china? The automobile industry wants us to forget the bull. And the proud stallion, ram, birds of prey, big cats, mythical dragons. These poor innocent creatures. It's a shame that they can't just freely roam about without all these soft, squishy obstacles that get in their way. Their marketing has succeeded and it's not surprisingly that the industry is among the most fervent advocates for making cycling appear more dangerous than it is. Society has turned a blind eye to the bull. Even in traffic safety campaigns that employ scaremongering about car accidents, the focus is often on YOUR safety and that of the other passengers. Rarely the external problem of killing innocent people. I've been trying to think about examples of adverts that are focused on the actual problem and that place responsibility for the heavy hitters in the traffic equation, rather than the "soft traffic", as we call pedestrians and cyclists in Denmark. One example, or rather exception, is the annual campaign above. It appeared for many years when school was starting, featuring various kids. "Watch out for Laura. She's new in the traffic" But it's been difficult to find other examples. Does anybody know of any out there?A recent public service campaign from Wales, above, is another exception. It focuses on the latest cause celebre - the dangers of texting while driving, but it graphically show how dangerous driving is. It is also the greatest public service campaign for advocating motoring helmets. Have a look and see, despite the seatbelts and airbags, why motoring helmets have been developed first by an Australian company in the 1980's and later at the University of Adelaide in Australia. [after an Australian government study showed that 25% of all car fatalities could be avoided if the motorists had worn helmets - despite seatbelts and airbags. That's over 250,000 lives saved every year globally, and 10,000 in the US alone] Virtually everyone involved in the accidents has a head injury of some sort.
Like our previous post about applying logic to the case and placing health warning labels on all cars and trucks, a change of focus about the very real possibility of killing innocent people while driving would be an effective way to place responsibility in the right place, as well as encourage motorists to choose alternative transport forms. There are numerous ways of taming the everpresent bull in society's china shop. There are congestion charges in place in many cities, discouraging motor vehicles and encouraging people to take public transport or cycle. Dozens and dozens of cities around Europe are actively implementing lower speed limits. Down to 20 or 30 km/h in built-up areas and the effects on the number of accidents is positive. Sadly, this very simple idea is not being considered in Copenhagen.
A recent BBC article completely ignores the bull, whereas in Denmark and the Netherlands drivers of large trucks [HGVs/Heavy Goods Vehicles] are being made to improve their mirrors, install cameras and warning sensors and there are other technological advances that will improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
There are changes to laws, like in Denmark and the Netherlands that place the blame firmly on the automobile in accidents, unless it can be proven otherwise. The idea is simply that the person in the most dangerous vehicle has the most responsibility.What started as a "what if" idea at the Dutch Cyclist Federation - Fietsersbond - is now evolving rapidly into a real project. External airbags on cars in case of collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. The project has recieved a great deal of funding and simulations have been produced. A crash-test dummy simulation is on the calendar for later this year.
All in all, it's high time that we turned around, looked at the bull and did something about it. The sooner, the better. It's not rocket science, it's merely a question of changing our marketing tactics.

Years ago, it was quite difficult and time consuming to translate text from one language to another. Any translation performed would involved using simple vocabularies with word-for-word translation. This was very inefficient and inaccurate, as any translated text would lose the actual meaning of the sentence.
For those whose mother tongue is not Persian, translating Arabic to Persian can be difficult. There are many agencies and websites that provide services for translation, localisation or interpreting. But these services are expensive and could range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. You can expect to pay from $0.08 to $0.40 per word!
While it is a good idea to pay professionals for translating highly specialized subjects and official documents - there is no need to pay for translating commonly spoken words, sentences, and phrases. For this, you can use our online Arabic to Persian translation software.
Our translation software is FREE. It makes use of the powerful Google translation API which uses Google's pre-trained neural machine translation to instantly translate words and phrases between Arabic to Persian. You can translate up to a maximum of 500 characters per request and can make an unlimited request.
Although our Persian translation is not 100% accurate - with a few modifications it can be pretty accurate. It is particularly helpful in framing the sentence and to get a general idea on what the sentence is conveying the message. It is therefore used by thousands of people around the globe.
So go ahead and use our translation tool. Copy the translated text and share them on Facebook, Twitter or email it to your loved ones.
Meanwhile, if you have any suggestions or feedback please drop in your message on our Facebook page.
In the text box on the left, enter words or phrases that you want to translate in a complete sentence. After a few seconds, the text will be translated into the language selected on the right drop-down menu. You can also click on the "translate" button for immediate translation.
You can also translate in a different language by choosing the language option from the drop-down menu.
Whenever you translate phrases, sentences or even large texts - we send API requests to Google. This request consists of the text you have requested to translate along with the source and target language you have chosen from the drop-down menu. In return, Google sends a response back with the translated text.
Behind the scenes, Google algorithms use a neural machine translation - a "deep learning" practice that compares whole sentences at a time from a broader range of linguistic sources. This has brought many advantages over conventional phrase-based translation systems and as a result, it is able to translate with a greater accuracy giving the full context rather than just sentence clauses in isolation.
Yes, our Arabic to Persian translator is FREE. You can use it for both personal and commercial use. You can make an unlimited translation. However, in each translation request, you can convert up to 500 characters. We have put this limit to ensure that robots and automated software are not abusing our software.
At a moment you can only use our Persian translation software online. However, you can use a third party site to download Persian translators.
For instance, you can download and install Google Translate Chrome Extension tool on your Google Chrome browser. Once installed you can highlight and right click a section of text to translate it to the language of your choice by clicking on the "Translate" icon. With this you can also translate the entire web page.
Alternatively, there is also a Google Translate app which you can download to translate text, handwriting, photos and speech in over 100 languages. This app is available on Android and iPhone & iPad devices.

First up this morning was a marginal breakfast. I don't understand this — why do people put cooked fruit into things that don't need cooked fruit. Cooked fruit is not chocolate. It does not make things better. It makes them measurably much worse. Croissants don't need jelly on the inside. It's gross.
George Hrab opened the conference with a brilliant song, the best part of which was the direction to make sure that any questions you direct at a speaker are actually questions, not opinions, speeches, or comments on the speaker. It was pretty funny.
Michael Shermer was first up and I literally don't remember what he talked about. I was not awake and not that interested, so I guess it just didn't stick.
Then there was a panel, Skepticism and TV. I got over the fact that *I* wasn't on the panel, but I have to say it is really hard to look at these panels of old white guys and think that they've made the effort to get more than one point of view. When they found out Adam Savage wasn't coming, they had the opportunity to try to get a minority or a woman on the panel, and they didn't. Which was a shame because everyone on the panel agreed with one another and didn't have a lot of useful advice on how to get more skepticism on TV.
Here's the thing, when you don't have young people talking about what's going on, you miss stuff. If you don't have women, or mothers, or people of color, or people from different socio-economic levels, you don't hear about whether people are actually being exposed to skepticism on TV.
Did the old white men mention any of the children's programming out there? No, not at all. And that's probably the place where you see the most skepticism incorporated into fiction storylines. Look at Dora the Explorer, or any of the other investigative type shows that are aimed at kids. Those teach critical thinking and why don't they think that that qualifies as skepticism on TV. Yes, you watch Bones or whatever and it's absurd and not related to real critical thinking, but prime time adult television is not the only thing on TV. There's more than the Discovery Channel.
They also talked a lot about editing and how to get around being edited in ways they don't want to be. I'll just say that it's almost impossible to get by a determined editor. They're tricksy people.
*deep breath*
Yes, so I took some issues with that panel.
Next up was Lawrence Krauss. A few months ago, Krauss made some statements in support of his friend who was an admitted rapist of underage girls. There was a fair amount of backlash, and threats to walk out on him at TAM. If that happened, I couldn't tell. There's so many people in and out of the room anyway, it wouldn't have been noticed, but also I think that elevatorgate has so overshadowed this that no one quite cared as much.
He gave a history lesson on Richard Feynman, which was OK, but I wasn't that interested in a biography.
Then Jamy Ian Swiss led James Randi and two others in a recap of Project Alpha, which was when two magicians pretend to have Uri Gelleresque powers for several years and the lab believed them despite the fact that it was very obvious what they were doing. Embarrassing for science, but kind of hilarious for magicians. It shows how lame psychics are.
Eugenie Scott was up next, but I didn't listen to that talk, I looked at books and walked around. I wasn't very interested in Climate Change Denial and I was tired and wanted to move around. I'm trying to get over feeling guilty for not going to every talk, but it's uncomfortable to sit all day.
And then it was lunch — I sat with the amazing Greta Christina and several other really cool people. Elevatorgate was the primary topic, but what I liked that we talked about was how the movement needs to be getting people in disadvantaged circumstances involved. So many people who are in the movement are there because they are the ones who can afford it. If you look at where the large populations of black people are, they are also poor places with strong religious communities. South Carolina and Mississippi have huge percentage of black people in their population, and those are places where being an atheist is not necessarily safe but more importantly, these are places where there are problems facing the community that are so much more pressing than religion. Teen Pregnancy, education, jail time. These are problems that the skeptic community should be working on, because we can't get people to participate if they're struggling to live. Let's get people in better life circumstances so that they can spend time on education and learning to be scientifically literate. And it's not just the South, of course, it's inner city, it's Detroit, it's Compton.
Ok, sorry, off the soapbox.
After lunch, it was just pure uninterrupted awesomeness.
Jennifer Michael Hecht spoke first, and she decided she was going to try to talk about everything that ever happened ever and that she would accomplish this by talking super fast. She talked a lot about the history of skepticism, which is the focus of her very excellent book Doubt, A History. She was fantastic. She talked about the movie The Road to Wellville, and said that a lot of people who go to quacks do it because, essentially, they want the attention. Though she also implied that women could get a happy ending from a chiropractor.
They had to cut her off before she was finished, and then it was time for PZ, who was hilarious. Every slide had a picture of either squid or octopi, which I feel is necessary. He was talking about the biology of aliens. I think his most interesting point was that there are several highly intelligent animals on earth that are self-aware that we still don't know how to communicate with, yet we're seeking out aliens.
He was awesome, and was followed by Pamela Gay, who I didn't particularly like. Not that she wasn't good, she was calling for more funding and emphasis on science. What I didn't like was her criticism of the skeptic movement as scattered, as though the emphasis of everyone on the movement should be on science. The fact of the matter is that not everyone can care a lot about every cause — outrage fatigue. Science education is important, and I'm for it and happy to support it, but it's not what I'm particularly interested in. It's not the cause that I'm going to spend time on. That's not because I'm scattered, it's because my time is spent elsewhere. I appreciate her enthusiasm for the cause, but it's not a very useful criticism.
And then it was time for the best thing I've ever seen ever. I can't wait for it to be on YouTube, because I want to watch it again. It was a panel on the future of humans in space. It was moderated by Phil Plait, and had Bill Nye the Science Guy, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Pamela Gay, and Lawrence Krauss. NdGT started off real quiet and then he jumped in like a ninja and started kicking ass. He thinks that we don't spend enough money on science and we should double NASA's budget and do everything. The bank bailout was more money than everything we spent on NASA in its fifty year existence. Lawrence Krauss sort of poo-pooed the idea of humans in space, and Neil deGrasse Tyson bitch slapped him, with major assistance from Bill Nye.
NdGT totally dominated, and I didn't want it to ever end. I would say it was impossible to follow, except it was Tyson himself who was following it up, so he was fine. He is a great speaker — he's funny, he's passionate, and he knows what he's talking about. Once again, it was simply so amazing that it's difficult to sum up. His focus was on stupid things that people believe that aren't true. I told Jarrett that Bill Nye and NdGT should be in a buddy cop movie together, he tweeted it, and the Jen McCreight saw that NdGT in his talk was going to go on his Twitter feed and she quickly posted it AND he read it outloud. Hysterically funny. I want it to happen.
And when NdGT was finished, that was it for the day. I went back to my room for a while, came back up while Jennifer Michael Hecht was doing autographs. I sat in a throne-like chair beside her while she fielded people who wanted her signature on her books. It was entertaining sitting on that side of the table. After that, I went down to eat. Saw Heidi Anderson briefly and then got ready for Penn's Party. I hung out with Jen McCreight and some people before the party and then it was time for Donuts and Bacon.
Penn has a band called the No God Band — they're decent, and the party was essentially a concert for them. They did a lot of covers and some original songs as well. I ended up hanging with Jen some more, as well as Hemant and a few others. I saw Christina Rad briefly, and that was fun. It was really loud and I was really tired, so I ended up bailing after about an hour and a half. Then I collapsed in exhaustion because my legs could no longer hold me up.

The Trillion Dollar Trick
The birth, and the apparent death, of the trillion dollar platinum coin idea may one day be recalled as a mere footnote in the current debt crisis drama. The ultimate rejection of the idea (which was to use a loophole in commemorative coinage law to mint a platinum coin of any denomination) by both the President and the Federal Reserve seems to offer some relief that our economic policy is not being run by out-of-touch academics and irresponsible congressmen. In reality, our government has been creating more than one trillion dollars out of thin air every year for the past five. The only difference is that the blatant dishonesty of a trillion-dollar platinum coin is so easy to understand that the public simply couldn't be expected to swallow it. The American people are more than willing to be fooled, but they won't tolerate so simple a ruse.
People have a long and intimate history with coins. Some of us collected them as kids, and we all touch and see them every day. Unlike currency bills, we know intuitively that a coin's value is supposed to come from its metal content. That's why quarters are bigger than dimes. As a result, most people have viscerally rejected the platinum coin idea. To assign an arbitrary, sky high, valuation to a small piece of metal strikes most people as a deceitful, desperate act. They are right.
However, the same people have no problem with images of thousands of crisp paper notes flying off the printing presses. The acceptance is not impacted by how many zeroes the bills contain. People simply believe that paper money derives value from the numbers, not the paper. This was not always so. Paper money originally entered the public awareness as promissory notes to pay different amounts of gold. Once people got used to the paper, few really cared when the gold backing was finally removed. As a result, the public would likely have been much more accepting of the Fed printing a trillion dollar bill than the government minting a trillion dollar coin. But there was no legal pathway for the Fed to simply give that money to the government.
The government, not the Fed, mints coins, so they did not have to rely on the Fed to create value out of thin air. That is why the platinum coin idea was so seductive, if ultimately unsellable.
But the Fed does the exact same thing all the time using sophisticated accounting and state of the art computing. The Fed «expands its balance sheet» by buying government bonds from private banks. In exchange for these securities, the Fed credits the banks with funds it creates out of thin air. The banks then pass the funds to the general public through loans. But it's important to realize that the Fed does not have any money to actually buy the bonds in the first place. The funds are «created» by a Fed computer. The process is easier (and equally duplicitous) than minting a trillion dollar coin (which at least requires the production of something other than computer code). The only difference is the lack of window dressing. It's a shame that the platinum coin episode did not result in a wider recognition of this brutal truth.
A similarly silly and meaningless distinction is being made with respect to raising the debt ceiling. In his press conference yesterday, President Obama said the Republican reluctance to raise the debt limit was the equivalent of a diner who had ordered and enjoyed a meal who then decides to leave the restaurant without paying the bill. The President is actually arguing that if the diner had no cash on hand, it would be much more responsible to simply use a credit card. In taking this moral high ground, the President ignores the fact that the diner (who has indebted himself through habitual restaurant meals) intends to pay his credit card bill with another card, and then repeat the process until he runs out of cards. So in the end, it's not the restaurateur who gets stiffed, but the issuer of the last card the diner is able to acquire. As with the platinum coin, this is a distinction without a difference.
Currently the Federal Government counts more than $16 trillion in funded obligations. Over the next 10 years we are expected to add another $10 trillion or more. At no point in the foreseeable future are we expected to approach balance in our annual budget. All of our future bills are expected to be paid by future borrowing on a massive scale. Anyone with an ounce of integrity would have to plan for the possibility that an ever increasing debt rollover is a limited prospect. Such an understanding will mean that eventually someone will get stuck with the bill. How is this any more responsible than dining and ditching?
In truth, a failure to raise the debt ceiling is not a commitment to renege on obligations. It is simply a decision to stop borrowing. The government could still meet obligations by cutting spending, raising taxes, or making reforms to entitlements. But it chooses not to take this difficult step.
More important than that is the message America is sending its creditors. By informing them that the United States will not use its taxing power to repay its debts, but will only rely on its ability to borrow more (ironically from the same creditors), it effectively admits to running the world's largest Ponzi scheme. It's a shame that more people can't seem to grasp these very simple truths.

The buildup:
Sneaky hate spirals begin simply enough. In fact, that is one of the hallmarks of sneaky hate spirals - they are merely the confluence of many unremarkable annoyances.
Your day begins poorly.
The turning point:
The turning point is usually a minor but slightly jarring incident, initiated by some force of nature that cannot be blamed or scolded - like gravity or sleeplessness or wind. That last specification is very important. In order to send you into truly batshit crazy hysterics, the final straw must cause anger that cannot rationally be directed outward in any way.

About 30 million U.S. adults live with osteoarthritis and the pain and stiffness it causes, a new survey finds.
And nearly one-third of these people said their symptoms are not well-managed, according to the Arthritis Foundation survey of almost 2,000 adults. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage cushioning the joints gradually wears down, leading to swelling, and limiting a person's abilities to do the activities they want and need to do every day.
"Pain is debilitating. My back and hip pain are so bad that I have trouble getting out of bed," wrote one survey respondent. "Each step is excruciating, and I wonder how much longer I can deal with the pain."
The results of the recently released survey are clear, according to a news release from the foundation. Patients want to see more treatment and care options to reduce the impact of arthritis pain on their daily lives.
Respondents said that pain was difficult to manage with few options, including anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), diet, exercise, opioids, braces and canes. Some reported using meditation and prayer. Surgery was considered a last resort.
About 65% said they use NSAIDs or topical medications to manage their pain, about 29% rely on therapies like physical therapy or massage, and another 29% said total joint replacement helped. Research shows that staying physically active can improve arthritis pain, according to the foundation.
More than one-third said COVID-19 concerns had caused them to cancel or skip health care appointments. Some also reported that pain levels had increased because of COVID-19 restrictions impacting their ability to access treatment and activity.
The primary change patients want to see is for health insurance to increase coverage of new arthritis treatments, though more than half said they were only interested in a treatment for pain if it didn't also increase their joint damage, according to the foundation.
"You spend a lot of time & effort trying not to think about it because what you focus on magnifies," wrote one survey respondent. "You hate pain scales because how do you rate something that is always there? Oftentimes it's not the pain's intensity but rather the duration."
About 82% want to invest in research to explore new ways to treat or cure osteoarthritis, the survey found. About 65% want to advocate for better access to treatments and 61% want to support the development of new products to help with daily tasks.
More information
Individuals with osteoarthritis can share experiences by taking the Live Yes! INSIGHTS assessment and learn more at the Arthritis Foundation.

Princeton University senior Jake Nebel is among the 34 American college students who have been named 2013 Marshall Scholars.
The Marshall Scholarship covers the cost of graduate study and living at a British university of the recipient's choice for up to two years.
Nebel, a philosophy major from Winter Park, Fla., plans to pursue a master's degree in philosophy at the University of Oxford.
In his application for the scholarship, Nebel, who is also earning a certificate in values and public life at Princeton, wrote that he would like to extend his studies in ethics to areas such as political philosophy, epistemology and philosophy of law.
"Many see the life of the mind as detached from a life of action, but I study philosophy because it can change our actions for the better," Nebel wrote.
When he received news of the scholarship from the British Consulate-General in Atlanta over a congratulatory telephone call before the Thanksgiving holiday, Nebel said he "screamed in my room. I knocked on all my friends' doors but they were all in class. I called my girlfriend and both my parents at work but had to leave voicemail messages." Undeterred, he went straight to the office of Deirdre Moloney, director of fellowship advising in the Office of International Programs, and "gave her a hug and a high-five."
Nebel said that some of his inspiration for studying philosophy stemmed from his work with Peter Singer, the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values.
"I'm delighted that Jake has been awarded the Marshall," Singer said. "There are many academically gifted students at Princeton, but Jake is exceptional even here."
Singer said that Nebel caught his attention immediately as a freshman in his course "Practical Ethics."
"It was the first semester of the year, so Jake had been at Princeton only two or three weeks, and his grasp of philosophical issues was already remarkable," Singer said. "A couple of years later, Jake took one of my graduate seminars, and after reading his paper for the course, I told him to submit it to a journal. It has since been published in the Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy."
Singer added that Nebel also engages with ethical issues outside the classroom.
"The thing I like best about Jake, though, is that he thinks hard about how to use his abilities to make the greatest positive impact on the world," Singer said. He noted that Nebel was the co-founder of the Princeton chapter — the second in the United States — of Giving What We Can, an Oxford-based community for effective philanthropy. In summer 2012, Nebel served as an intern with 80,000 Hours, a partner organization that gives advice on socially committed careers.
A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Nebel is the recipient of several awards and grants, including the James Madison Society for American Ideals and Institutions' Undergraduate Fellowship Award for summer 2012 and the Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence in 2010 and 2011. He has participated as an undergraduate fellow in the Human Values Forum since he was a freshman.
Last year, he was appointed to serve on Princeton's Priorities Committee, which issues budgetary recommendations to the University president. A former resident of Forbes College, he continues to serve as a peer academic adviser, and this academic year he is a member of the philosophy department's Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.
A former participant in Lincoln-Douglas debate, a format for high school students to debate issues in ethics and public policy, Nebel has served as a coach for the Greenhill School in Dallas, and a curriculum director at the Victory Briefs Institute, a summer debating organization at the University of California-Los Angeles, during his time at Princeton. The Harvard University Debate Invitational has named its championship trophy in his honor, to be given annually to the first-place winner starting in 2014. At Oxford, Nebel plans to debate in the Oxford Union and hopes to compete internationally.
After Oxford, Nebel intends to pursue a Ph.D. and an academic career as a philosopher. "I hope to challenge students, colleagues and leaders outside philosophy to change their minds about important moral and political issues," he wrote in his application. "In short, I am an advocate above all for one cause: improving the world as effectively as possible."

Today's housing market is different than it was just a few months ago. And if you're thinking about selling your house, that may leave you wondering what you need to do differently as a result. The answer is simple. Taking the time upfront to prep your house appropriately and create a solid plan can help bring in the greatest return on your investment.
Here are a few simple tips to make sure you maximize the sale of your house this fall.
1. Price It Right
One of the first things buyers will notice is the price of your house. That's because the price sends a message to home shoppers. Pricing your house too high to begin with could put you at a disadvantage by discouraging buyers from making an offer. On the flip side, pricing your house too low may make buyers worry there's some underlying issue or something wrong with the home.
Your goal in pricing your house is to gain the attention of prospective buyers and get them to make an offer. And with price growth and buyer demand moderating, as well as a greater supply of homes available for sale, pricing your home appropriately for where the market is today has become more important than ever before.
But how do you know that perfect number? Pricing your house isn't a guessing game. It takes skill and expertise. Work with a trusted real estate advisor to determine the current market value for your home.
2. Keep It Clean
It may sound simple but keeping your house clean is another key to making sure it gets the attention it deserves. As realtor.com says in the Home Selling Checklist:
"When selling your home, it's important to keep everything tidy for buyers, and you never know when a buyer is going to want to schedule a last-minute tour."
Before each buyer visits, assess your space and determine what needs your attention. Wash the dishes, make the beds, and put away any clutter. Doing these simple things can reduce potential distractions for buyers.
For more tips, check out this checklist for preparing your house for sale. Ultimately an agent is your best resource for tailored advice, but this list can help get you started.
3. Help Buyers Feel at Home
Finally, it's important for buyers to see all the possible ways they can make your house their next home. An easy first step to creating this blank canvas is removing personal items, like pictures, awards, and sentimental belongings. It's also a good idea to remove any excess furniture to help the rooms feel bigger and make sure there's ample space for touring buyers to stand and look at the layout.
If you're unsure what should be packed away and what can stay, consult your trusted real estate advisor. Spending the time on this step can pay off in the long run. As a recent article from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) explains:
"Staging is the art of preparing a home to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers in your market. The right arrangements can move you into a higher price-point and help buyers fall in love the moment they walk through the door."
Bottom Line
Selling a house requires prep work and expertise. If you're looking to sell your house this season, let's connect so you have advice on how to get it ready to list, how to help it stand out in today's shifting market, and more.

Dogs and Preventing Dog Bites
Maybe you love them and want to pet every one you see. Or maybe you're afraid of them and want to move to a dog-free neighborhood. Either way, dogs are a part of life.
Millions of people have dogs as pets. You'll see them all over town, in the city, country, and even when you're on vacation. They come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities — a lot like kids!
Like many kinds of pets — no matter how small or cute they are — dogs need to be respected as animals that, under certain conditions, could hurt you. You can respect a dog by giving it space and following certain rules. These rules not only keep the dog happier, they can protect you from getting bitten.
Use Your Dog Manners
When we say to use your "dog manners," we don't mean you should eat off the floor or pee in the yard! We mean you should follow certain rules when you meet or spend time with dogs — especially ones you don't know.
If you meet someone new, maybe your mom or dad showed you how to shake hands and say, "Nice to meet you." Well, you can also have some equally good dog manners. That means taking certain steps every time you meet a dog or spend time with one. Dogs will love that you're so polite and, best of all, they will be less likely to bite you!
Where do you go to learn dog manners? You've come to the right place!
Learning DOG SAFE
One dog expert has come up with an easy way for kids to remember seven tips to prevent dog bites. It spells "DOG SAFE."
D: Don't Tease, Please
O: Only Pet With Permission
G: Give Space
S: Slow Down
A: Always Get Help
F: Fingers Together
E: Even Good Dogs Can Bite
Let's talk a little bit about each one of these.
Don't Tease, Please: Teasing a dog can make it angry or frustrated enough to bite. For instance, if a dog has food or a toy, never try to take it away. You wouldn't like it if someone grabbed your snack while you were eating it!
Only Pet With Permission: Never pet a dog without asking the owner if it's OK. Some dogs don't like to be touched by strangers. And don't try to pet a stray dog.
Give Space: Little kids especially might run right up to a cute dog and try to pet it or give it a hug. But dogs need space. Crowding a dog can frighten or anger the dog.
Slow Down: Some dogs like to chase and bite. Of course, you don't want to be chased or bitten! The way to avoid it is to go slow around dogs. Never run toward them or away from them. If a dog you don't know runs toward you, freeze. If you need to get away, back up slowly.
Always Get Help: It can be tempting to bring home a dog that seems lost or injured. But animals who are lost or injured may be very frightened or in pain. Find a grown-up instead who can decide how to care for the animal.
Fingers Together: When feeding a dog a treat, put the treat in the palm of your hand and keep your fingers and thumb close together. Why? The dog is less likely to get confused about which is the treat — the doggie snack or your finger!
Even Good Dogs Can Bite: Some people are very surprised when their dog bites someone, but all dogs can bite. Avoid doing things that make dogs scared or angry, such as backing them into a corner or bothering them when they are sleeping. Also learn the warning signs that a dog may bite, such as growling, backing up, or curling its lip up to show its teeth.
Get a Grown-up to Watch You
Even though many dogs love kids, it's safest for everyone when an adult watches over the kid and the dog. The grown-up can help control the dog or maybe decide that the dog has had enough play time with the kids and it's time for them to separate.
Grown-ups also can remind you to use your dog manners. And grown-ups can help you know how your dog manners might change a little bit, depending on how well you know the animal. For instance, you might play a friendly game of chase with your new puppy. But you wouldn't want to chase — or run away from — a strange, growling dog!
Speaking of strange dogs, here's another reason to turn to a grown-up. If an unfamiliar dog wanders into your neighborhood, the grown-up can decide what to do next. Maybe you will need to come inside until help arrives or the dog is taken back to its owner.
When kids use their dog manners (and grown-ups keep an eye on kids and dogs), the day can end just the way it should — with happy kids, happy dogs, and no dog bites!
How to Meet a New Dog
Do you like to make new dog friends? Watch this video to learn how to meet new dogs in a way that will be calm and safe for both you and the animal.
Stay Safe Around Dogs
If a strange dog approaches, you can take steps to avoid a dog bite. Find out how!
