Joint replacement technology attracts patients in their 50s, 60s
In the past, hip and knee joint replacement surgery – in which a damaged joint surface is removed and replaced with a metal or plastic implant – has been reserved mostly for the elderly. Patients under the age of 70 were not considered good candidates for the surgery because artificial joints tended to fail or wear out within 10 to 15 years, meaning many patients would require revision surgery.
However, recent advances in prosthetic joints now deliver longer lasting results, allowing people in their 50s and 60s to consider joint replacement, which can dramatically improve their quality of life.
The main reason for joint replacement surgery is injury or osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage joint surface breaks down and ultimately wears out. The rubbing of bone-on-bone can cause significant pain, making any activity or even sleeping difficult. Younger people were traditionally given medication, steroid injections, and/or physical therapy, and denied surgery until they were older. This often left them with limited function and chronic pain. Today, if conservative treatments don't provide relief, surgery for these patients is a viable option.
Surgeons and implant developers are continually finding ways to improve the prosthetics and surgical techniques to make this operation one of the most successful and effective treatments available in medicine today.
Hip replacement
Total hip replacement has become popular with younger arthritic patients who want to remain active. In a total hip replacement, the surgeon removes the entire head and neck of the femur (bony ball) and replaces it with a metal or ceramic ball on top of a long stem, which is anchored deeply inside the femur (thigh bone). The acetabulum (bony hip socket in the pelvic bone) is lined with a metal and plastic implant.
With hip resurfacing, instead of removing the entire head of the femur, the surgeon reshapes it and covers it with a metal cap on a small spike, which is then cemented on the bone. The socket of the pelvis also is then lined with a metal lined socket. Because so much of the femur is preserved, a patient can have total hip replacement later in life if the implant wears out. Resurfacing provides for greater range of motion and makes high-impact activities possible, although it does require a metal-on-metal bearing.
Other advances
▪ Innovative plastics and metals make the replacement joints more dependable, durable and long-lasting.
▪ New metal attachment surfaces have enhanced the adjacent bone's ability to grow into the implants, forming a lasting and secure bond that will last for decades.
▪ Improved implant designs give patients a better function.
▪ The newer types of plastic greatly reduce wear and wear particles, preserving the supporting bone. This virtually eliminates osteolysis – an autoimmune reaction that causes softening and reabsorption of the bone around the implant, destroying its mechanical function.
▪ Newer, less-invasive techniques make for a less-painful surgery and more-rapid recovery.
Before deciding if joint replacement is right for you, consider the benefits and risks.
▪ Significant improvements in pain and function resulting in improved quality of life.
▪ Success rates that exceed 95 percent – even at 10 years.
▪ New techniques preserve more bone, allowing for future revision surgery if necessary.
▪ Joint implant components can loosen or wear out over time, and younger patients may require a revision surgery to repair the implant. The failed prosthesis often causes bone loss, making it challenging to attach the new implant. Patients who have metal-on-metal hip resurfacing have higher rates of revision surgeries.
▪ Dislocation of the new joint, requiring treatment.
▪ Possible complications of surgery – blood clots, infection, implant loosening, fractures, nerve or blood damage and joint stiffness.
As long as patients are healthy enough to withstand the rigors of surgery, they can be offered an opportunity for improved quality of life with a joint replacement. If you're considering joint replacement surgery, get the facts. Then talk in detail with a skilled surgeon who can guide you in your decision process.

What is the best advice that you have received from either of your parents?
By piropos
April 11, 2007 7:01am CST
Looking back, the best advice that I got from my mother was, if I'm going to get married, I should have my own house first and that I should never think of having my wife live with her on the same house. From my father, I don't remember him actually giving me one.

I dont really remember any great advice I received from my mother. My father passed away almost 12 years ago, when I was 14. But his words are in my mind as if it was from yesterday. For me, the best advice I remember my dad giving to me was "Dont waste time. Time will never wait for you, you have to wait for time". He always reminded and make me realise the value of time, which I believe is the most important thing ! We all have our own duties to be performed in each stage of our lives. If we dont pay attention to those things and say to ourselves that "I will do it later", no doubt, we will definitely regret that later on in life ! One example in our student life will be if we dont prepare and study our daily lessons, we will fail in our exams and then we will feel bad for not studying when we were supposed to , right? Its same for every single thing that happen in our lives ! I know my dad told me lot of other things but the best one that will always be in my mind for the rest of my life will be this great advice regarding the value of time in life !

As they say, "time is gold", and indeed, I believe it is. The value of time can never be doubted. If we use time wisely, then we can do almost all that we desire, and for a young man such as yourself, time certainly is on your side. You do good in honoring what your father has told you. He will be very proud of you.

Hi sonustar. Every time I pass by the university near the school where one of my children is studying, I almost feel envious of the young people studying there. It's like, they have all the world for themselves to conquer and become masters of their own destiny. Studying, whether for personal growth or economic gain is always a welcome endeavor anywhere.

US Labour Secretary announces resignation after furore over Epstein sex inquiry
US Labour Secretary Alexander Acosta resigned on Friday amid fresh scrutiny of his handling of the sex abuse case against financier Jeffrey Epstein, becoming President Donald Trump's latest adviser to leave the administration in controversy.
Acosta, joining Trump at the White House before the president left for a trip to Wisconsin, said he did not want to be a distraction to the administration's work because of his leadership of the Epstein case more than a decade ago.
Trump, who has fired numerous cabinet and other administration officials during his two and a half years in the White House, said it was Acosta's idea to step down.
"Alex called me this morning and wanted to see me," Trump told reporters. "I just want to let you know this is him, not me."
Trump cheers on Sebastian Gorka for starting scuffle with journalists
US President Donald Trump cheered on Sebastian Gorka on Friday after the fired White House aide tried to start a fight with reporters at a Rose Garden news conference.
"Gorka Wins Big, no contest," Trump tweeted.
The presidential attaboy came hours after Gorka lost his cool at a Trump's news conference announcing his reversal on adding a citizenship question to the census.
Kim Basinger joins demonstrations in Seoul against eating dog meat
Hollywood star Kim Basinger and some 100 other animal rights protesters gathered in front of South Korea's National Assembly on Friday to protest against the consumption of dog meat.
The organisers, Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (Care), picked Friday for their protest because July 12 is considered one of the three hottest days of the year according to the traditional Korean calendar.
Many Koreans eat dog meat specifically on this day, as well as chicken soup, in the belief that it helps them best withstand the heat. The other two hottest days are July 22 and Aug 11.
Tennis: Vintage Federer beats Nadal, plays Djokovic in Wimbledon final
A vintage display by Roger Federer took him past Rafael Nadal into the Wimbledon final in an eagerly-anticipated first grasscourt duel between the great rivals for 11 years on Friday.
The 40th career meeting between the golden duo with 38 Grand Slam titles between them, swung this way and that before Federer seized control to claim a 7-6(3) 1-6 6-3 6-4 victory.
World number one and defending champion Novak Djokovic now stands between the 37-year-old Federer, the oldest finalist here since Ken Rosewall in 1974, and a record-equalling ninth Wimbledon title in Sunday's showpiece.
Singer R. Kelly charged in sex scheme of kidnapping and payoffs
Federal prosecutors on Friday charged Grammy Award-winning singer R. Kelly with kidnapping women and girls for sex, forcibly keeping them under his control over the past 20 years and buying their silence when they tried to go public.
In indictments unsealed in Brooklyn and Chicago, prosecutors portrayed a racketeering and human trafficking scheme run by Kelly, 52, and his employees that laid down strict rules requiring his sexual partners to be obedient and to call him "Daddy."
The R&B singer, who already faces state sexual assault charges in Illinois, was arrested by New York City detectives and federal agents as he walked his dog in Chicago on Thursday evening, his attorney, his lawyer, Steve Greenberg, said.

Hosted by the Vespa Club of Britain, this low-key members rally in Kendal was well worth the ride up north. The Lake District is a stunning place but has been neglected for years on the rally scene; hopefully this member's rally won't be the last though…
A 170 mile ride on one of the busiest Fridays of the year meant I spent most of the journey filtering through stationary traffic, the rest of the ride was spent feeling smug for being on two wheels. We arrived at the venue, Kendal Rugby Club, handed over our tickets and received a nice goody bag by return (loads of stickers, metal cog badge, Kendal mint cake and a bottle of beer). A quick erection on the campsite, a change of clothes and we were off to sample what this 300 capacity members only rally had to offer. The venue itself has everything needed, a large flat campsite, hot showers, toilets, a good bar with friendly staff and a decent sized room for an evening do. We met up with a few friends in the bar and made some new ones as we sampled a few beers, just enough alcohol to help give us a good nights sleep in our cosy tent.
Saturday morning and breakfast was served in the clubhouse, a few stalls were set up around the site and people began to gather for the ride out. I'm not usually one for ride outs but we decided to tag along as the 100 or so scooters headed to the Lakeside Motor Museum, a quick bite to eat there and a few of us peeled off for a more challenging ride up the Hardknott Pass and back again, a great little ride on one of the bumpiest and steepest roads in the UK, followed by a quick blast back to Kendal.
We arrived back at the campsite just in time to see a line up of Vespa GTS's, in celebration of ten years of this modern rally going machine. The model is so popular that I'd estimate 70% of the scooters at Kendal were GTS's. They're a perfect long distance tool and I love them (and rode there on one) but they'll never look as good as a line up of classic scooters. After a quick shower we headed into town to see what the local pubs had to offer, as a rally town there are more than enough pubs to cater for thirsty scooterists, so hopefully (if the rumours are true) we'll be back for a larger scale Vespa Club rally next year. By the time we got back to the campsite the do was in full swing but we'd missed the draw for the well stocked raffle, not to worry as proceeds were going to the North West Air Ambulance so it was still a fiver well spent. There was a good friendly atmosphere throughout the weekend and despite never having done a VCB event (other than our recent trip to Croatia) everybody was very welcoming and we had a great time until 1am when the bar closed and we were sent to bed by the tired bar staff.
The threatened rain finally arrived overnight, a torrential downpour that lasted for hours but thankfully it had stopped by Sunday morning and we rode home in blustery but dry conditions. If you ride a Vespa, fancy something smaller than a national rally and enjoy spending time with friendly people maybe the VCB is for you.

WiFi users are not utilising tools to make their connections safe.
Speaking at the UK introduction of Aerohive Networks' private pre-shared key (PSK) solution, vice president of product marketing Adam Conway claimed that there are tools to make WiFi safe, but people are not applying it.
Private PSK enables guest, legacy and hard-to-manage wireless LAN clients to utilise strong encryption and authentication without the cost and complexity of WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (802.1X), or where 802.1X is not technically feasible.
"With Private PSK everyone gets their own key, you can't eavesdrop on each other and it enables authentication and multiple policies," said Conway.
Aerohive claimed that it provides substantially better WiFi security and management than the WPA/WPA2 Personal (PSK) framework, that it claimed was inadequate, while leveraging existing client investments and reducing operational costs.
David Flynn, chief executive officer at Aerohive, said: "Unfortunately, the wholesale migration to 802.1X is inhibited by the cost of upgrading legacy clients, the deployment complexity of 802.1X, and the inability of guest networks to work with it."
Conway claimed that this helps to avoid the problem of completely changing the keys when someone leaves the company.

Basement Tanking
BS 8102 is the British Standards Institute Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water from the Ground.
BS8102 gives recommendations and provides guidance on methods of dealing with and preventing the entry of water from surrounding ground into a structure below ground level.
BS8102 covers the use of;
Waterproofing barrier materials applied to the structure
Structurally integral watertight construction
Drained cavity construction
It also covers the evaluation of groundwater conditions, risk assessment and options for drainage outside the structure. BS8102 applies to structures which extend below ground level and those on sloping sites. Churchill provide specifications and install various waterproofing systems
With limited green belt sites to build on more building architects are looking to dig down and create basements or renovate existing basements.
Many commercial construction projects now have multiple levels below ground. The control of external water is essential to the success of such projects.
BS 8102 environmental grades can be condensed into three parts:
Grade 1: Some seepage acceptable as long as fit for purpose.
Grade 2: No water penetration whatsoever, condensation/vapour acceptable as long as fit for purpose.
Grade 3: No water penetration whatsoever, environmental controls necessary to prevent problems of condensation
Churchill provide permanent cementitious tanking systems such as Sika 1 system.
Sika® 1 Pre-Bagged Structural Waterproofing System mortars are pre-bagged kiln dried blends of specially graded aggregates and cements packaged in 4 grades at the appropriate mix ratios for optimum application performance and durability. When mixed with the diluted Sika® 1 liquid waterproofing admixture they provide the multicoat components for the structural waterproofing systems.
Sika 1 can be used in the following applications;
Internal waterproofing of below ground structures to meet the requirements of
BS8102 – 1990 Grades 1 - 4
- Waterproofing of swimming pools and other water retaining structures
- Waterproofing of basements, cellars and vaults
- Waterproofing of tunnels
The alternative to tanking systems is to manage the water with cavity drainage. The cavity drainage sheets are fixed to the soffit and walls of the structure terminating within a drainage channel. The water is controlled and managed to a central point where it is pumped away. The pumps are fitted with flotation switches and are a proven cost effective solution and an alternative to tanking systems.

NSW regional news May 2019
Read the latest update from the NSW Chair regarding NSW Regional Council strategy, joining a discussion group, and upcoming NSW events.
In Brief
- NSW Regional Council Member Engagement
- Small Business Discussion Group invitation to new members
- NSW Events coming up
NSW Regional Council Member Engagement
This year each NSW Regional Council member has taken a specific NSW member segment to approach with a view to strengthen and broaden member engagement. Council members will aim to attend member events and meetings and make contact with NSW members in the various segments to ensure we are representing the NSW membership. We look forward to meeting with members over the coming months and to your feedback.
Working with the NSW Regional Relationship Manager, Una Cullen, member groups across regional NSW help facilitate various events to engage with local members and help facilitate communication to and from CA ANZ. This year has included events in the Western, North West, Newcastle, Albury, Illawarra and Central Coast regions.
The most recent being a three day road show by the CA's Australian Tax Leader, Michael Croker CA, covering Bathurst, Orange, Dubbo, Moree and Tamworth. I understand a very worthwhile trip, notwithstanding a near miss with a rabbit while driving between centres. I'd like to thank the many members who made the effort to participate in these events, some of whom had themselves travelled over an hour to attend. Thanks too to our member representatives in those centres.
Where possible one or two Regional Councillors will also try to attend some regional events this year, and have attended one in Armidale and one in Dubbo already, as well as various Sydney based events.
Fellowship Nominations 2019
Each year members have the opportunity to nominate colleagues for advancement to Fellowship. A member being nominated must have demonstrated excellence through outstanding achievement in, and contribution to, the profession, business and/or the community. NSW Regional Council is part of this nomination and review process and we envisage that members being nominated have contributed over and above their day to day role and exemplify the highest attributes of a CA.
It does always surprise us when reviewing nominations that some members are not already FCAs given their years of service and impressive contributions. I encourage you to think about your CA colleagues and what they've contributed. Successful nominees and their nominators will be invited to a special award presentation early in 2020.
Nominations are open now and the form and relevant Guidelines are available via the CA website.
Small Business Workshop No. 3 invitation to new members
The Small Business Workshop No. 3 is a Discussion Group of Members of Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand. The group has been meeting for over 30 years.
The Group meets on the 3rd Tuesday each month at the Sydney CA ANZ building at 6pm for approximately 2 hours. Each month, they organise a presenter to come along and present on a particular topic that is of general interest.
The group is looking to add 4-5 members to the group. Drinks and a light meal are provided on the night. If you are interested in joining the group please contact James Dolahenty on firstname.lastname@example.com or 0412 242 071.
Chair, NSW Regional Council

Dr. Dre is finally releasing a new album this Friday. It's been sixteen long years since his last album, "2001". No it didn't come out in 2001 (it came out in 1999), it's just called that. Even though it has been sixteen years we never forgot about Dre and couldn't be more excited about the new release.
I would personally like to take credit for the new album. This past week we picked Dr. Dre's first single as our 90's Song of the Week. I like to think that's what inspired him to finally release a new album. If you don't know already, even on his solo albums Dre likes to work more in the background. His firs two albums are more known for helping the careers of Snoop Dogg and Eminem. So who's appearing on this new album. Check out the tracklist:
1. "Intro"
2. "Talk About It" (Feat. King Mez & Justus)
3. "Genocide" (Feat. Kendrick Lamar, Marsha Ambrosius & Candice Pillay)
4. "It's All on Me" (Feat. Justus & BJ the Chicago Kid)
5. "All in a Day's Work" (Feat. Anderson Paak & Marsha Ambrosius)
6. "Darkside/Gone" (Feat. King Mez, Marsha Ambrosius & Kendrick Lamar)
7. "Loose Cannons" (Feat. Xzibit & COLD 187um)
8. "Issues" (Feat. Ice Cube & Anderson Paak)
9. "Deep Water" (Feat. Kendrick Lamar & Justus)
10. Jon Connor, "One Shot One Kill" (Feat. Snoop Dogg)
11. The Game, "Just Another Day" (Feat. Asia Bryant)
12. "For the Love of Money" (Feat. Jill Scott & Jon Connor)
13. "Satisfiction" (Feat. Snoop Dogg, Marsha Ambrosius & King Mez)
14. "Animals" (Feat. Anderson Paak)
15. "Medicine Man" (Feat. Eminem, Candice Pillay & Anderson Paak)
16. "Talking to My Diary"
Eminem and Snoop Dogg are making an appearance. That's not a surprise. Ice Cube is going to be on a track; that's cool. Kendrick Lamar is going to be on two tracks and that's just good business by Dre. Kendrick Lamar is maybe the most respected young rapper out there right now. He doesn't need Dre's help though; he's already successful.
The one guy most likely to be made a star by Dre on this album is Jon Connor. No, not the guy who leads the resistance against the machine uprising. He's a young rapper from Michigan signed to Dre's label, Aftermath Entertainment.
This album could be amazing. Or it could be a terrible attempt at a comeback by a fifty year old man who hasn't made an album in sixteen years. You'll have to wait until Friday to find out. Well, that's not entirely true. Apple Music will start streaming the album tomorrow at 9PM ET. So if you're an Apple Music subscriber you can hear it before the rest of us.

Sponsors Kick In With World Cup Dollars
The economy may still be stuck in the midfield, but Univision has already sold about 65% of its inventory and other on-air elements for the 2010 World Cup.
Among the companies already in for a multiplatform sponsorship with the network are FIFA sponsors T-Mobile, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Verizon Wireless and Budweiser, according to Univision executive vice president of network sales and marketing Peter Lazarus.
Lazarus, who noted that Univision has secured deals with a number of other advertisers for the futbol championship, said the Spanish-language media leader is ahead of its pace for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, despite the sluggish economy.
Lazarus said the company is proffering an array of assets, relative to 64 World Cup matches across Univision, Telefutura and Galavision; Univision.com; and Univision Movil.
"We also have a local component with the station group," said Lazarus, who noted that the company is still developing plans for its video-on-demand coverage of the World Cup, and sponsorship opportunities for Univision's push with that platform.
Univision is also targeting other FIFA sponsors who activate in the U.S.: Hyundai and Visa. "We don't have deals with them - as of yet," said Lazarus.
Lazarus said Univision is actively pursuing companies in the apparel, home improvement, retail, credit card, studio and automotive categories.
Lazarus said World Cup packages are part of the media company's continuing upfront negotiations.
Commercial inventory is available in pre-game, post-game and halftime segments, as well as logo/clock ID associations, especially for FIFA sponsors. Univision is also looking to integrate World Cup advertisers into entertainment fare such as weekday morning show Despierta América (Wake Up America), airing from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.; the weekday entertainment show El Gordo y La Flaca (The Scoop and the Skinny), which is stripped at 4 p.m.; and newsmagazine Primer Impacto (First Impact), which runs weekdays at 5 p.m.; as well as Saturday-night staple Sabado Gigante.
Univision has not yet sorted through all of its on-air enhancements for the World Cup. However, it will work with McDonald's on a consumer sweepstakes that will enable winners to accompany players as they walk onto the pitch. It will also provide Coca-Cola with an assist on a World Cup trophy tour, leading up to the tournament.
With a little less than a year to go until the world is focusing its attention on South Africa, Lazarus said he's looking forward to and is accustomed to selling in quadrennial cycles from his days handling the Olympics at NBC.
"Anytime you have a big property with a large amount of revenue at stake during a short window, like a Super Bowl, an NCAA basketball tournament or Olympics, it's a challenge," he said. "But we're looking at a really successful World Cup cycle."
For their part, ESPN officials declined to comment on the total sports network's inventory position for the World Cup. "We're in the process," said an ESPN spokesman. "We're further along than we were before."
Other soccer programmers are also looking to the World Cup, as the event approaches.
Gol TV, which has completed all of its upfront presentations, is in "the marketplace right now," said vice president of marketing Didi Montiel.
She's hopeful that Gol TV can score an entitlement sponsor for such World Cup-related programming as World Cup Chronicles (working title), six 30-minute installments recapturing some of the best and most controversial moments in the tournament's history.
Fox Soccer and Fox Sports en Espanol, both of which will be providing plenty of news, analysis and debate from South Africa, are also looking to add revenue next year.
"The World Cup always brings more dollars to the soccer marketplace," said David Sternberg, executive vice president and general manager of Fox Sports International. "You have the official FIFA sponsors looking to activate and their competitors trying to keep pace."

If you live in a high-risk flood zone you have no choice. You must buy flood insurance. If you are one of the millions of people who live in moderate to low risk zones then the decision on whether or not to purchase flood insurance is up to you. So, how do you determine whether or not you need flood insurance if you do not live in a high-risk flood zone area? Here are some questions to ask yourself that may help you make the determination on whether or not you should buy flood insurance.
- Does your lender require it? As we have already said, for some homeowners the decision on whether or not to purchase flood insurance is not optional. Flood insurance is not covered
- under a standard homeowner's policy so you will have to purchase special coverage if you are in a high risk zone.
- Do you live in an area affected by wildfires? Areas of the country affected by wildfires can quickly become floodplains due to the large amounts of water it takes to extinguish this type of fire.
- Do you live where the ground freezes? Spring rain can saturate the ground, freeze and then cause havoc as it melts. This melting process can cause flooding.
- What are your financial resources? According to experts, the average flood insurance claim is $30,000. Since most people do not have the financial resources to absorb such a cost, flood insurance may be one good option.
- Does your neighbor have an above ground pool? In the event that your neighbor's above ground pool collapses, flood insurance should have you covered.
In short, we cannot say whether or not you should buy flood insurance but we should remind you that flooding occurs all year round. There is no flood season in that sense. Also, you should know that 20% of flood insurance claims come from low to moderate risk flood zones. At Conejo Restoration we work directly with your insurance company in the event that your home does experience flooding. We support the claims process by inspecting and assessing the damage caused by floods and by providing your insurance provider with a good faith quote. This paves the way for water damage repair to begin. Our water extraction carpet cleaning is just one way we help to mitigate the damage caused by flooding.

Hird constructs her 'Biomythology' – a personal narrative that lies uneasily at the intersection of biography, history and myth. As a white woman raised in the margins of post WWII colonialism, she now finds she's a foreigner - a confused stranger in her own land. She uses past and current pop-culture icons to chart the distance between perceptions of herself in 60's middle class America and now, four and a half decades later. Constructed from her memories, she finds her present sense of home to be an unreliable if humorously contradictory structure.
Don't Ask Alice – Nohra Haime Gallery, NY, TBA
Embracing the stories we tell – both ancient and contemporary, fact and fiction - Hird sifts and blends those stories to create an alternative mythology in line with the origin stories of animist, agrarian societies. Using a wide range of media, Hird blends her distinctive patterns and gestures to create a unique narrative cosmology. Presented as large-scale scrolls, she describes a complex primal world inhabited only by the four elements of earth, water, air and fire. The entire series evolved to include flora, fauna and finally humans.

Genesis Tree - Art Prize, Michigan, MCLA Gallery, MA (2015)
Genesis Tree NY16 - Nohra Haime Gallery, NY (2016)
Hird's work explores cultural mythologies and the roles they play in our societal perceptions of each other. She has spent years moving across cultures listening and collecting stories. She's fascinated by the way some tales survive and evolve to transfer easily between illusion, reality, myth and metaphor. Several bodies of work are devoted to our cyclical – and sometimes obsessive - fascination with the superhero. Historical figures mix it up with Marvel, DC, Greek and Persian heroes and heroines in their bid for iconic status.

Vessel - An Exchange With Saul DeWitt, MASSMoCA (2011)
Hird, based in Amman, Jordan, explores the cultural differences among four women from Jordan, Iran, Egypt and the Palestinian West Bank and herself – an American. Each participant wrote a diary of a single day – the same day – each month for a year. Hird translated the written diaries into an extensive series of sequential drawings. The project was lightly animated and given free access on the Internet. The Maiden Voyages inspired a series of presentations, lectures and exhibitions both in the US and abroad discussing preconceptions between cultures, and the realities of daily life near the arenas of war. The project also inspired a series of pedagogical workshops exploring the diverse interpretation of image-based communication in social media

Class Act is the newest Oxford SU campaign, intended to support, represent and campaign on behalf of students from working class, low income, first generation, and state comprehensive school backgrounds, as well as care leavers and estranged students.
Although there is a lot of focus on efforts to help those of us from one or more of these backgrounds to get accepted into the university, the experience we have once we're here doesn't get the attention we think it needs. We're trying to change that.
The campaign has gained the attention and support of students and academics alike at the university, and has improved access and student life for underprivileged applicants and students. We're bursting with ideas to improve the landscape for current students whose social, financial and/or educational backgrounds might disadvantage them during their time here at Oxford.
Our work over the coming year will focus on the common concerns associated with each of our focus groups, and on the more specific problems members of these groups can face at Oxford. During term time, we will be campaigning as well as hosting social and speaker events.

Books Read
As I studied successful authors, I spotted a trend—they read a lot of books. Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series, says he reads 300 books a year. Stephen King, who says he reads about 80 books a year because he is a slow reader, states, "If you want to write, you must do two things above all others—read a lot and write a lot."
When I working in the corporate world, my time was too limited to read much, but dropping out of the rat race to focus on an author career changed that. I now read 1-2 books per week, exceeding 100 books read the last few years—mostly fiction and different genres. I watch for recommended books from authors I have never read, but also read everything a handful of authors write (two of those mentioned in the first paragraph).
Many of my readers asked that I share that list and a lot of the newsletter subscribers email me regularly to recommend I try a book (something I love). Thus, this section of the website has evolved to list all of the books I finish reading.
To be clear, these are not reviews. You will find I never rate a book as "bad" because, frankly, I never finish a poorly written book. Too many good books exist out there to waste a minute of time reading a bad one. Since the books reported here are only the ones I finish, they are all good.
When I read reviews from on-line bookstores or review sites, I find most of them are based on whether the reader "liked" or "didn't like" the book. The problem with that approach is whether the reader "likes" a book has as much to do with the topic as the writing skills of the author. For example, I am not a fan of sci-fi romance books with werewolves (which is probably a genre, but who knows?). So if I said I didn't like such a book, and you enjoy time-traveling, shape-shifting lovers, then my review is useless to you. It might even prevent you from discovering a book you like.
So instead of like or not (since every book listed I liked enough to finish), my reviews take a few paragraphs to explain what the story is about. Hopefully, that will help you decide whether to read or not.
And, yes, if I really, really, really loved a book and think it's awesome, I will say that. Count on that once every month or two.
Hope you enjoy my list and find something new to read.
P.S.—Please, share what you are reading. I try very hard to read authors I have not tried before.

Text: Proverbs 22:1
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
I. Introduction
1. Invites everyone to think of the origin of how his or her name came to be.
a. who gave this name?
b. of all other names why is this?
c. what meaning does this name bear?
2. Invites everyone to think what qualifies a good name.
a. is there a vision embedded in it to be accomplished?
II. Body
1. A Good Name Bears impartiality
1) Asserts the value of reputation (Proverbs 22)
Choose to have wise and honest dealings
The "Summum bonum" in life is a good name or the value of reputation
2) Asserts social responsibility with social distinctions
Accepts social distinctions but each must be treated equally in the sight of God who created them equal (Proverbs 22)
It has no regard for outward appearance (James 2), nor it finds its way to Christian assembly.
3) Jesus displayed when he faced the Syro-Phoenician woman and healed her child. (Mark 7:24ff)
2. A Good Name Bears True Faith
1) Faith is a deep personal relationship of trust in Christ in which the believer receives God's grace
(James 2 )
2) Faith is a living relationship in which the believer is re-created and empowered to live the Christian life.
(James 2)
3) Faith is the inner side of action; works are the outward expression of faith (James 2)
III. Conclusion
Impartiality, honest dealings and a faith that is lived upon. I personally believe that this is the "summum bonum" (the ultimate good) God placed in every name.
Everything in this world has its own name. Every one of us possesses a name too. That name we have is the identity God has bestowed upon us. God, therefore, expects us to protect and live up to that name for his own purposes. Let us unite that we, named Christians make a sound that heals the world and may God be praised. Amen

Well my first 486 clone pre-built non brand name pc was a real shocker. So I later switched to buying brand names like IBM and HP. Well they were more reliable and in my opinion a lot better quality, although a lot of people say they use crappy components. And upgrading them, well in the case of the IBM, I found it impossible to do a simple task like add a second hard drive. I built my latest computer with the help of my cousin. Contained mostly cheap base components, but it works very well, with the exception of one blown power supply.
