Pelvic Health & Incontinence
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain is an "umbrella term" that may include conditions such as:
- Vulvodynia (pain in the vulvar area, which refers to the female external genital organs including the labia, clitoris, and entrance to the vagina; and pain that also may extend to the area between the vagina and anus, thigh or buttock and is often associated with discomfort in the urethra and rectum)
- Vagismus (vaginal tightness that causes pain with penetration and makes intercourse painful, difficult and sometimes impossible)
- Vulvar Vestibulitis (inflammation, redness and pain at the opening of the vagina)
- Pelvic Muscle Tension Syndromes (pain, tightness or spasm in the pelvic muscles)
- Coccydynia (pain in the tailbone/coccyx)
- Endometriosis (tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, also found elsewhere in the body, mainly in the abdominal cavity, with associated pain, especially during menstruation)
- Dysmenorrheal (pain with menstruation)
- Dyspareunia (pain with intercourse)
- Interstitial Cystitis (recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic region)
Pelvic pain is a condition that affects a number of women, but, unfortunately, it also is poorly understood and rarely discussed.
What Causes Pelvic Pain?
A number of body systems may be involved in pelvic pain. These include the reproductive, urinary, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychological, and musculoskeletal systems.
The musculoskeletal system includes the muscles, connective tissues and joints of the pelvis, which are affected by the nerves and blood supply.
The structures of the pelvis are subject to the same causes of pain that affect the low back, knee, or other areas. For example, muscles, ligaments, and tendons can get overstretched, partially torn, or cut during childbirth or surgery, or because of a trauma such as a car accident or sexual abuse. Or, muscles can become weak from disuse or tight and immobile from injury. Joints may be hypomobile (unable to move as much as it should) or hypermobile (allowing too much motion). Habitual postures, positions, or movements can also slowly stretch or tighten structures around the pelvis and lead to dysfunction and pain.
The abdominal, low back, and hip muscles all attach to the pelvis and affect its position and function. If they are tight or weak the pelvis will be stiff and tight or unstable, or both. Any of these can lead to pain. The pelvic muscles or joints may be the sole cause of pain or they may be just part of the overall problem.
How a Physical Therapist Can Help
When the cause of the pain lies in the musculoskeletal system, a person should seek the expertise of a physical therapist, whose knowledge of movement and function is a key to restoring the proper function of the pelvis.
The pelvis serves several important functions in the body. It supports the weight of the body from the vertebral column, and it also protects and supports the lower organs, including the urinary bladder, the reproductive organs, and the developing fetus in a pregnant woman. In addition, nearly every movement and position of the human body relies on the pelvis.
Like the rest of the body, proper activity and balance between all of the muscles, joints, and tissues of the pelvis are essential for pain-free functioning. Your physical therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your musculoskeletal system to determine the cause of the problems and will design a program to address those problems.
Physical therapy techniques for joint and soft tissue dysfunction may include exercises, education, soft tissue and joint mobilization; modalities including ultrasound, electrical stimulation, biofeedback, and heat and cold. These techniques are part of a physical therapist program designed to reduce tightness, dysfunction, weakness, and pain in the pelvis.
What musculoskeletal issues are associated with the prenatal and postpartum periods?
The prenatal period is a time of great change for a woman, physically, emotionally, and hormonally. As the fetus grows, the overall musculoskeletal system is challenged by altered posture, shortened muscles, potential muscle imbalances, and changes in spinal mobility. These changes may cause pain and dysfunction. In the postpartum phase, fluctuating hormone levels combined with additional physical changes as a result of delivery may also result in musculoskeletal problems such as excessive joint mobility, weakness of the core stabilizers, and altered spinal mobility and function.
What causes dysfunction in the prenatal and postpartum periods?
Fluctuating hormone levels in both the prenatal and postpartum phases may cause excessive joint mobility which can cause pain and dysfunction. Because of the postural changes associated with pregnancy, some muscles become tight to support the changing posture, while others are stretched and become weak. This results in muscle imbalance and a potential for decreased stabilization. Mobility of the spine can be affected in both the prenatal and the postpartum periods as the spine adjusts to the changing posture as the fetus grows.
What are symptoms of musculoskeletal dysfunction during the prenatal and postpartum periods?
Symptoms of dysfunction may include pain in the joints of the pelvis or spine, muscular pain in the hips and L/E's, or numbness into the extremities. Weakness may be present in the abdominals, resulting in pain with transitional movements or lifting. Weakness may also be manifested as urinary incontinence in the postpartum period. Muscle imbalance may also cause pain or contribute to urinary issues in the postpartum phase.
How can physical therapy help?
Physical therapists are skilled in evaluating and providing patient centered treatment of musculoskeletal problems. Physical therapists trained in the area of women's health have further knowledge about issues directly related to women as they move through different stages of life, from childbearing years to the post menopausal period. Physical therapists can provide hands on treatment to address spinal and pelvic joint dysfunction, instruct in exercises to address muscle weakness and imbalance, and provide guidance and instruction related to modifications of activities of daily living that may be difficult during the prenatal and postpartum phases.
Who should be referred to a Women's Health Physical Therapist?
Those with:
- Back, sacral, hip, pelvic, rib pain
- Pain in the neck or upper back
- Headaches
- Sciatica, carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet or other nerve symptoms
- Decreased ability to do normal daily activities
- Weak or tight muscles
- Pelvic pain with sexual intercourse, use of tampons or gynecologic exam
- Desire to start or continue an exercise program
We examine each individual and develop a plan of care using treatment techniques to promote mobility & flexibility, reduce pain & swelling, restore function, and prevent disability.

Anzac personnel tour Kokoda Track
Published on LEUT Patrick Holmes (author), PO Brendon Smith (photographer), LSIS Kayla Jackson (photographer)
Location(s): Kokoda
Topic(s): HMAS Anzac (F150), South East Asia Deployment
Members of ship's company in HMAS Anzac have undertaken a cultural tour to the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea during a deployment to South East Asia.
The tour showcased the beauty of Papua New Guinea, its culture and shared history with Australia. Commencing at the Sogeri Plateau, Anzac personnel were shown the rubber plantation near McDonald's Corner and the traditional method of gathering the 'milk of the tree' in order to produce rubber products used back in Australia. The tour then continued to the start of the Kokoda Track.
Able Seaman Communications Information Systems sailor Natasha Deakin was amazed by the one lane dirt road, which turned into a steep cliff, its muddy side carved in to allow people on foot to traverse in single file.
"The whole experience was eye opening," she said.
"The view from the top of the track was spectacular. To be able to stand where so many Australians and Papua New Guineans have stood before, overlooking the mountains and experiencing the history it represents for both nations was truly humbling.
Accompanied by local guides, the Anzac team had the opportunity to experience the difficulty of the track, clambering down the rugged countryside. A 30-minute trek down muddy embankments opened into the Goldie River, was followed by an even longer return journey
The final stop of the tour was the Bomana War Cemetery, final resting place of 3,379 Papua New Guinean, Australian and allied soldiers.
Leading Seaman Combat System Operator Tarren Irvine said the cemetery visit was a valuable opportunity to visit the graves of two of his ancestors laid to rest within the cemetery.
"I found the drive to Bomana War Cemetery quite sombre.
"After visiting the cemetery last year with HMAS Adelaide and hearing stories of my family members in WWII, I was grateful for the opportunity to experience the Kokoda track with Anzac.
"Mostly I was grateful to see their final resting place and pay tribute to those they fought alongside," Leading Seaman Irvine said.
Anzac is currently conducting a three month deployment that will see the ship visit a number of ports in South East Asia in order to strengthen relationships and interoperability with some of Australia's close partners in the region.

Laparoscopic Sleeve is a restrictive bariatric surgery. During this procedure, the surgeon creates a small, sleeve-shaped stomach. It is larger than the stomach pouch created during gastric bypass, and is about the size of a very small banana. Weight loss occurs because the procedure causes the stomach to tolerate a limited amount of food, causing a feeling of fullness more quickly.

Colorado Road Trip
Jul 14, 2017 07:52AM
● By Leland Rucker
Dinosaur National Monument was created in 1915, not long after a paleontologist with the Carnegie Museum discovered prehistoric fossils in a rock formation north of Jensen, Utah, in 1909. That rock formation soon became a quarry, and the surrounding 80 acres were given the monument designation to preserve the outstanding fossil resources. Today, Dinosaur National Monument encompasses over 200,000 acres, most of which are in Colorado. It has few roads, easy access to petroglyphs and pictographs, and mind-boggling scenery as well as being a major repository of dinosaur fossils.
You can't just drive in, spend a couple of hours, and drive out and say you've been there. To get there, it's a good six-hour drive from Denver, and about two hours north of I-70, two hours south of I-80 in Nebraska, and four hours east of Salt Lake City. You need at least two days, which means you really have to want to go, but it's so worth it. The more time you spend, the more remote you can get.
We start our visit at the quarry Visitor's Center just a few miles north of Jensen. The road hugs the Green River, which meanders through the monument before heading south for its rendezvous with the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park near Moab. A giant, black-and-white wooden Stegosaurus greets visitors, and there are lots of exhibits and fossils with historical information about the area.
Near the visitor's center is the quarry wall itself. The huge ledge, one of hundreds found so far in the area, contains fossilized remains of dozens of different creatures pretty much as archeologists found them. The building was literally constructed around it (and recently remodeled), so visitors can see the kinds of historical artifacts and individual fossils the scientists unearthed. The ledge is fifty feet high and three times that length, with close-up viewing on two levels. You won't find something like it anywhere else.
After a couple of hours at the wall, we head north for Split Mountain. Long story short, it's the place where, over millions of years, the Green River changed its original course and took some of the topography with it. Even if you don't understand the geology, it's easy to see what looks like an oversized, sandstone ship that just slid into the river, exposing millions of years of geologic history in the process. Best time for photography is at sunset, with the dimming light glowing on these primeval rocks.
Further on, we stop and walk on short trails to petroglyph and pictographs made by the Fremont, Ute, and Shoshone tribes who once lived here, leaving their art for the rest of us to ponder. Nearby, wooden farm fences still stand in almost perpetual quiet at the Josie Morris cabin, where a pioneer woman lived for more than 50 years without any modern conveniences.
The second day, we drive the Harpers Corner Road out of the visitor's center at Dinosaur, Colorado. (Stop by the Bedrock Café on Highway 40, aka Brontosaurus Boulevard, for the best homemade, locally sourced malts and shakes in the area.)
And though there are some remarkable overlooks on the way out, nothing can really prepare you for the epic drive into the depths of Echo Canyon. Standing at the overlook at the top, we think twice before heading down the dizzying series of switchbacks that begin the 12-mile journey to the enormous Steamboat Rock at the bottom. About two-thirds of the way down, we pass Rial Chew Ranch Historic District, the well-preserved remains of a working ranch from the early 20th century.
At the base of the canyon, where the Green and Yampa Rivers converge, we find ourselves in magnificent isolation a couple thousand feet below ground level. We're surrounded by towering cliffs reaching toward the sky. Across the river, Steamboat Rock rises like a massive sentry.
There are 22 camping spots down here—easily some of the best night-viewing spots in the US. There's absolutely no light pollution to disturb your view of the hundreds of satellites skimming past the eerie brightness of the Milky Way. Make your reservations far in advance, and check with the rangers before heading down into Echo Park, especially when roads are wet.
The drive back up is just as spectacular as the one down. On the way out, we stop by the overlook again. From this vantage point, it looks like Echo Park is in miniature: Steamboat Rock is little more than a pebble, the river just a sliver of brown against the hardscrabble landscape. Looking down, I am reminded of the time when, in the 1950s, as part of a Colorado River Storage Project, a dam proposed here unleashed a torrent of opposition led by the Sierra Club and Wilderness Society that ultimately helped kickstart the environmental movement that led to the Wilderness Act and the National Scenic Rivers Act.
There are some lodging options just outside the Colorado and Utah centers of the monument, but most who visit stay in Vernal, Utah, 15 miles west of the park. It's an oil town of 10,000 people with all amenities, and it revels in its dinosaur proximity. At the eastern entrance, a 30-foot pink dino right out of The Flintstones coyly flicks her eyelids at visitors.
The major attraction is the Field House of Natural History downtown. A fossil-lover's dreamscape, it includes a complete diplodocus skeleton stalking the mezzanine, as well as rooms of exhibits and dioramas that trace the area's history and creatures. The dinosaur garden outside is stocked with colorful, life-sized reproductions of various plant- and meat-eating dinos.
One exception is a wooly mammoth, the large, extinct elephant ancestor. This particular replica's guard coat is, inexplicably, made from hemp. The local avian population admires the hair as much as visitors do, plucking chunks of it for their own nests—yet another unlikely use for hemp. The hair has to be replaced every decade or so, a procedure that maintenance specialist Craig Gerber estimates at several hundred man-hours each time. Or, as he puts it, "A nightmare from hell."
Day Trip
If you don't have the time or inclination to get far off-grid, you could try a day trip up to "the oldest building in the world." Get on Highway 287 out of Ft. Collins, Colorado, and head up into Wyoming, a drive that is pretty spectacular in its own right, cresting at the Wyoming border. About an hour north of Laramie is the Fossil Cabin. It was constructed in 1933 by Thomas Boylan, who made it of bone fragments from the nearby site, hence the designation "oldest building in the world."
It's not a tourist attraction anymore, and you can't get inside (in fact, the property is for sale). But there's still a lot of dinosaur history in this area. The Como Bluffs ridge visible to the north is the site of major dino discoveries and international intrigue that dates back to the 19th century. The ridge is also home to thousands of diamondback rattlesnakes that like to nestle amid the bones and keep the foot traffic to a minimum.
Some of the finest dinosaur specimens came from this graveyard. They were transported around the world on the first transcontinental railroad, which rumbled by here on the way from Laramie to Rawlins, and on the first transcontinental highway, which passed Como Bluffs.
Make it an overnight getaway with a stay at the Virginian Hotel in Medicine Bow just a few miles north, where the trans continental trains still rumble by all day and night. Or you could find a spot in Laramie, home of the University of Wyoming. If you opt to head back instead, make a stop at Mishawaka up Poudre Canyon Road off 287 north of Ft. Collins. The incredible views, riverfront amphitheater, and relaxed dining are worth the detour.

CIRTL Seminar: Engaged Pedagogies, Mar 802 Mar 2018
Engaged pedagogy begins with the premise that students want an education that is meaningful, that encompasses the whole person and ignites their passion. It recognises the importance of connecting student learning to real world examples, and of helping the student to connect theory to practice and their lived experiences, so that they become reflexive, critical thinkers.
The CIRTL seminar presents examples of engaged pedagogies being employed in two different disciplines, but the learning from these practices are relevant to all disciplines. These case studies will focus on two key areas:
- student focussed learning and public engagement in the music history classroom, including empowering students to conduct individual and group research, and to present their research findings in engaged (and engaging!) public concerts and websites
- bedside teaching as the means by which students learn how to think and how to perform like doctors. In this example all stakeholders are involved in the learning process in the hospital setting whether in Cork University Hospital or in a rural hospital in Peru.
CIRTL Seminar: Active learning approaches, Feb 2014 Feb 2018
Active learning is about engaging students in the learning process as active participants and 'activating' students to take charge of their own learning. There are multiple examples of how to enhance student learning through active learning approaches and this CIRTL seminar will focus on two key topics:

Wildlife Itinerary for a Family Friendly New Zealand Holiday
When traveling to a foreign country with your family, the youngsters in your group are likely to get excited about seeing the exotic wildlife there. If they can get up close and personal with the animals, all the better.
Planning on taking your brood to New Zealand? Here are our suggestions for a family friendly holiday itinerary that focuses on wildlife viewing, starting with a trip south after hiring a car rental from Auckland to Wellington.
Whales in Wellington
New Zealand's capital city of Wellington offers more than just cultural attractions, dining establishments and a great nightlife. When visiting during the months of February and March, you are likely to see both whales and dolphins if you hang out at Wellington Harbor long enough. You may want to rent a kayak or take a tour of the harbor for the best opportunities to see these magnificent marine mammals up close.
More North Island Sights
While you are visiting the southern point of the North Island, there are several more trips to make in order to see some of New Zealand's native species.
Head to the coastline surrounding Wellington's suburbs in order to see the world's smallest penguin species, Little Blue penguins. These flightless blue birds nest up and down the southern coast in boxes placed there by the Wellington Zoo. Your best chance of seeing them are right at dusk, when mama and papa head home to the family burrow. Do pay attention to the signs indicating "penguin crossings" as many of them must cross the road on their way home.
A two and a half hour drive southeast of Wellington will bring you to Cape Palliser, which is home to lots of fur seal colonies. These seals are not quite what zoo goers are used to as they feature external ears and a set of very large flippers. If you want to see the cute babies with their mums, plan your New Zealand holiday for the spring months of August through October. Seal Coast Safari offers guided tours of the best places to find fur seals.
Head the opposite direction, west, to visit Owhiro Bay and the Red Rocks Walkway. Although there are not any zoos or parks here, you are sure to catch glimpses of the wild horses and goats bought over by early New Zealand settlers – a magnificent sight!
Kapiti Island
If your family is up for a boat ride, they are sure to enjoy a trip to the Kapiti Island Nature Reserve. Located a short distance off the southern coast of the North Island and accessible by boat from Paraparamu Beach, only 160 people are allowed to visit the island each day in order to minimize the environmental impact. You'll definitely want to make plans ahead of time for this day trip from Wellington but it's well worth it in order to see native birds such as Kaka parrots, kiwi and kereru pigeons.
Looking for some of New Zealand's rarer and endangered species? A trip to Zealandia and the Karori Sanctuary, located just minutes from downtown Wellington, provides access to trails where you and your family will find tuatara, the "living dinosaur", the flightless takahe bird and New Zealand's only native owl, the morepork. At night, guided tours along the trails allow visitors to view some of the country's more exotic nocturnal animals.
To plan a family friendly holiday viewing New Zealand's wildlife, start with a flight arriving at the Auckland Airport. Then hire an affordable car rental from Auckland to Wellington in order to see the most during your stay in the Land of the Long White Cloud. Your kids are sure to love this itinerary revolving around the beautiful, strange and exotic animals of New Zealand – and you will, too!

Coast Guard Search and Rescue Assets Return to Florida Keys
ORLANDO, Fla. — All Coast Guard small-boat and cutter search and rescue assets, in addition to essential personnel assigned to units in the Florida Keys, had returned to the Keys by Sept 15, the service reported.
Coast Guard assets and personnel were moved away from the Keys for safety purposes during Hurricane Irma. All four 45-foot Response Boat-Mediums and five 33-foot Special Purpose Craft-Law Enforcement boats and necessary crew members have returned to Stations Islamorada, Marathon and Key West.
Crew members from Coast Guard fast-response cutters Charles Sexton, Isaac Mayo and Raymond Evans and the national security cutter Hamilton have been running search and rescue and law enforcement operations in the Keys while the station crews were displaced.
Rescue 21 towers at all Keys locations have also become operational via generator power and are functioning as communications towers for Sector Key West operations specialist working out of Martinsburg, W.Va. Operations specialists are working out of West Virginia until it is safe to return to the sector's base in Key West.
"Search and rescue efforts in the Keys have been ongoing with limited capabilities despite local crews and assets being displaced from the area with coverage coming from fellow Coast Guard Seventh District and Atlantic Area units," said Lt. Quentin Long, small-boat manager, Coast Guard Sector Key West. "I know our crews are excited to be back operating in their area of responsibility despite the continuing efforts to rebuild and reconstitute the port in the months to come."
Search and rescue efforts have also been supplemented by personnel and assets from Coast Guard Air Stations Miami and Clearwater, U.S. Navy, Florida National Guard and various other federal, state and local agencies.

All creatures great and small
The GridBy Matthew Halliday
"Watch out for the raccoon feces."
Perched on the roof of a bungalow in Don Mills this past Monday, Brad Gates gestured to a pile of dried-out scat covering the shingles. "Raccoons like to do their business up high," he said.
Gates, 49, is the founder of AAA Gates' Wildlife Control, a "humane" wildlife removal company. He briefly became Toronto's most famous raccoon expert last month when a member of his staff found rare albino baby raccoons at an east-end home. In business for 27 years now, Gates spent his childhood in 1970s Scarborough raising creatures most people consider urban pests - rabbits, pigeons and a pet raccoon named Mandy, whom he found through an article in the Scarborough Mirror. "Raccoons are super-intelligent animals," Gates said. "Some studies place them just below monkeys."
Gates removes many different kinds of wild animals, including raccoons, possums, skunks and bats. On Monday, he was investigating strange noises in the attic of a house backing onto the Don Valley. The roof looked normal, except for the dryer's rooftop ventilation unit, which was wide open. Despite the nearby raccoon droppings, Gates decided it was too small an opening for a raccoon. He asked the homeowner about it, and she recalled an incident last summer when a squirrel tumbled down the vent and into the clothes-dryer. When she opened it up, the squirrel shot out and darted into the basement. That time, the homeowner dealt with the squirrel herself, using bed sheets to create a baited pathway to the front door. Gates had a different line of attack: he installed a one-way, exit-only door, set up at the vent opening and baited with peanut butter. He made a plan to return in two days. If a mother squirrel were waiting on the roof, unable to get back inside the house, it would mean there were still babies in the attic. Gates reasoned he would let the mom-squirrel back inside for a week or so, until the young were able to leave the attic on their own. And once they were out, he'd animal-proof the entry point.
Homeowners are often confused when the guy they hired to remove their animal invaders lets them back in, but Gates said they usually come around. "People call and say we don't have to be humane, they just want them gone. But as soon
as you show them the babies, they go, 'You're not going to hurt them, are you?'"

I thought today was Saturday and I don't know why. I'll blame the flu again.
Deets on Limbo dev Playdead's forthcoming second game have turned up. Huzzah!
And according to Kirk, I Am Alive is The Road in game form.
And okay, this entirely fan indulgence, but they've gone and made an [insert your name here] version of the PlayStation "To Michael" commercial. And it's totally good for a chuckle.
I'm as happy as anyone for more Phoenix Wright in my life, but man, you can't make this look good.
Man. You guys just have it out for Pluto.
Huzzah! Women can ascend the British throne a little easier! Well, unless they're a Catholic who marries in. Erm.
A day after I devoted part of a class midterm to likening the Egyptian revolution to the Occupy movement, this happened.
Elsewhere, angered protesters hold a vigil for (doing better!) Scott Olsen. The outbreak of police brutality in Oakland is, of course, being cited as "the left hand not knowing what the right one was doing." Whatever the case, Threat Level's Quinn Norton is calling it "a moral victory" for the movement. Meanwhile, Salon think the overarching victory goes to how the talking points on the news have shifted.
On the slowly shifting demographics on the protest lines.
Great op-ed: only a pundit would think Occupy didn't have a message. The rest of us hear it loud and clear.
NMDNet on ground-up democracy.
You know that lady who showed up all over the blogs with her awesome protest sign? Her boss fired her for it.
Lastly, and warning for spoilers: why In Time is coincidentally the perfect movie for #OWS.
You Can't Make This Up
Seriously. Three-eyed fish found near nuclear facility.

Apple has quickly released a patch for fixing the macOS High Sierra login vulnerability which was discovered yesterday. The update fixes the bug which allowed anyone to log in as an administrator or into the root account without entering any password. Apple had acknowledged the flaw, apologised and promised to issue a software update soon, but the patch seems to have introduced a new bug which prevents some Mac users from authenticating or connecting for file shares.
Apple published a support document explaining how to fix the file share feature, which is not working for some Mac users after patching with the new update. Users simply need to follow these steps:
- Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder under your Applications folder.
- Type "sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC" (without quotes ) in the terminal window and press Return.
- Enter your administrator password and press Return and quit the terminal.
Apple, in a statement to 9to5Mac, said, "Security is a top priority for every Apple product, and regrettably we stumbled with this release of macOS. We greatly regret this error and we apologize to all Mac users, both for releasing with this vulnerability and for the concern it has caused. Our customers deserve better. We are auditing our development processes to help prevent this from happening again."
The admin login security flaw on the macOS High Sierra allowed anyone to access the root/admin account by simply entering "root" as the username and leaving the password field blank. The root account gets escalated privileges with full access to system files along with read and write privileges. Apple previously recommended setting a custom password for the admin account, until they roll out the patch for fixing it. The company has also urged their customers to install the new software fix as soon as possible.

When you want to activate a unit, you need to decide whether it is going to move (without fighting), attack (move into combat and fight immediately), or shoot (which only applies to troops with missile weapons of course).
Each time you want a unit to carry out any of those actions, you roll two six-sided dice and check your total against that unit's ability; some units are better at certain commands than others. For example, Archers need to score a 6 or more to shoot, which represents their faster rate of fire than Crossbowmen who need a 7 or more. Mounted Men-at-Arms like to get stuck into their enemies and do so on a 5 or more, but they're less willing to trot around the battlefield guarding sheep or defending strategic points (a non-combat move requires a 7 or more).
This means there's a wide variety of effectiveness between different units for different actions, so it is best to field a Retinue well-suited to the scenario you're playing, or a Retinue that can cope well in all sorts of situations.

My wife left the pool cover off in a heavy rain. It added about 2 inches to the pool level. While the water is clear, FC 5.5, CC 0, and everything seems nice and clear, the water just doesn't have that "sparkle" it did before the rain. It used to look really crisp and now it seems a bit dulled. This is so subjective because everything measures perfect and looks right. I cannot measure the "sparkle" or crispness of the water, so I just cannot describe it. The only thing I can think of to get that sparkle back is to shock my pool to 20ppm FC, which is how I got it the last time. Any thoughts on this?

Kevin Sumlin has agreed to terms with the University of Arizona to become their next head football coach, coming only 11 days after Rich Rodriguez was fired amidst sexual harassment allegations.
This will be Sumlin's 3rd career head coaching position, after being fired from Texas A&M with a 51-26 overall record.
Former Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez was ousted on January 3rd, in the wake of an investigation into workplace misconduct. Rodriguez was the head coach at Arizona for 6 seasons, finishing his tenure with a 43-35 overall record.
Look for Sumlin to take the reigns early in the offseason to work into his new role. It looks to be an upgrade at head coach for the Wildcats, but only the season will tell.

A fundraising appeal has been launched to help care for a rescue dog coming to Eastbourne from Turkey.
Dylan, a cross between a corgi and a labrador, was destined for the local shelter in the fishing village of Kalkan when he was given a last minute reprieve by an Eastbourne woman.
Now, the family and KAPSA, a local charity which looks after street dogs and run by Turkish and English dog lovers who care for sick, homeless and injured animals, is appealing for money to pay to get Dylan to the UK.
Lee and Gary Willsher from Eastbourne are coordinating the fundraising efforts.
Lee said, "Kalkan a beautiful fishing village in Turkey where tourists flock , not only for the sun, sea, views and food but to visit the wonderful street dogs that roam amongst the locals and its visitors.
"Year after year people return and a joy is to see their favourite dog sitting at the roadside.
"In January of this year, four of the Kalkan dogs were taken from the street reportedly for barking. The council takes complaints seriously and these poor dogs were destined for the local dog shelter but with more than 400 there, they are sent without hope of ever getting out.
"Dylan was one of the four given a reprieve by a local English lady on the understanding that he would find a home. Dylan is adorable, a corgi lab type little boy with Queen Ann legs and a charming character.
"Ads were placed and hearts were tugged, however Dylan was running out of time. Just 24 hours before he was due to go to the shelter, a home was found in good old Eastbourne and with a local lady with two rather cute dogs of her own.
"It will cost in the region of £1,500 and this includes Dylan's lodgings while in Turkey, his flight to England and his vet fees. Without this money Dylan can't come and without a home he will for sure be put into the shelter.
"The lovely people of Kalkan and its enthusiastic following of English fans have raised some funds but as always we need more.
"If anyone can find it in their hearts to help then please contact email@example.com
"Dylan is one cute little dog with a forever home just around the corner. Please have a heart, every little helps and any funds raised will go straight to his costs."
People can also visit the KAPSA charity page to find out information on Dylan and the charity.

Good afternoon! Late post for me today, but I was very busy swatching a bunch of polishes earlier, and didn't get done as soon as I would have liked. I have three colors that I picked up from Sinful Colors' Pool Side collection: Tidal Wave, Sunburnt, and Rise & Shine. Rise & Shine isn't a new color, but I loved it so much I had to have it. Tidal Wave and Sunburnt are both new to the U.S. colors. Other colors in this collection are: Why Not (core), Tokyo Pearl (core), Bikini Lines (new), and Endless Blue (core). I almost always get my information from Nouveau Cheap, so if you've got any questions, but sure to head to her place. Alright, onto the swatches!
First up is Tidal Wave. This is 3 thin(ner) coats, no undies, and no top coat. First photo with flash, second photo without.
As you can see, even after 3 coats, I still had VNL – not much, but still there. This is a really nice light blue, but I would definitely say this is more for layering. Not my favorite of the three.
Next up is Sunburnt. This is one coat, though I could have probably done another coat. First photo without flash, second with flash.
I really love this color! With the flash, it looks way more pink than it actually is – the picture without flash shows how orange-ish it really is.
Lastly we have my favorite of the bunch, Rise & Shine. This is 2 thin coats. The first two pictures are without top coat, to show how matte the finish is. The first picture is with flash, the second without:
Beautiful, right? But just wait until you see it with top coat! The second and third pictures are with flash:
I mean, goodness gracious! How lovely is this! By far, one of my favorite Sinful Colors polish that I have. I imagine that if you did a coat of R&S, then a coat of clear base glitter, then another coat of R&S, you'd have a really pretty manicure! (Note to self: remember this!)
Have you tried any of the other colors in the Pool Side collection? I'd love to see them – especially Bikini Lines to see if it's worth buying, or if it's just another pink.

How to Remove the Stinger from a Wasp Sting
How to Remove the Stinger from a Wasp Sting. Wasp stings are painful and, if left untreated, can pose health risks. If a wasp pays you a nasty visit, quick action can minimize the amount of venom your body absorbs. Proceed as follows:
Look for the stinger, an object that resembles splinter or a black dot. That innocuous-looking object is already pumping venom into you.
Do not use tweezers for this next step. Studies have found that tweezers actually squeeze more venom through your veins. Instead, grasp the stinger close to the skin with your thumb and forefinger.
Pull out the stinger with one quick, clean move. Make sure no part of it remains imbedded in your flesh.
Swab the sting with alcohol wipes. In the absence of alcohol wipes, use soap and water.
Ice the sting to minimize swelling.
Allergy Alert: If you are allergic to wasp stings, seek medical attention immediately. Do not wait to remove the stinger.

Release of the Agribusiness Agenda 2018; We need to tell you our stories.
To view the agenda click here
Biosecurity incursions, environmental challenges, water quality, labour availability, trade wars and inadequate rural infrastructure all feature prominently in the ninth KPMG Agribusiness Agenda.
The last year has not played out how industry leaders expected. Whereas the 2017 Agenda was outward looking and focused on the opportunities in global markets, this year the Agenda is directed towards a range of domestic issues that dominated our conversations with industry leaders".
It has been a challenging year for the industry, where the mainstream narrative has been predominately negative despite agri-food continuing to dominate New Zealand's export revenues. The negativity presents risks to the industry's social license to operate and its ability to command a premium price in global markets.
This year's Agribusiness Agenda, 'We need to tell you our stories', calls on the sector to tell honest stories relating to how products are grown, processed and distributed, to highlight the many positive attributes inherent in the products we grow and deliver to the world. Articulating the attributes inherent in New Zealand products will provide verifiable stories to counter those based on perceptions that have dominated the conversation for far too long.
Given the discovery of Mycoplasma bovis and Myrtle Rust in the last year, as well as the ever present threat from the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, it is unsurprising that maintaining world class biosecurity was again rated the highest ranked priority for industry leaders, recording its highest ever priority score in the survey. There was a clear message that the speed of response to Mycoplasma bovis has been compromised by farmers not fulfilling their obligations under NAIT. This highlights that managing biosecurity risks must become enshrined as part of the day to day responsibility of everybody that works in the agri-food sector.
Environment and water
The central role that environmental degradation and water quality played in last year's election featured strongly in many of our conversations, with concern over the way the issue is constantly presented as the primary sector's problem. Whether we like it or not, every New Zealander has contributed to the degradation of our environment, waterways and beaches. Addressing these issues needs whole of community responses. Agri-food sector leaders recognise they have a major role to play, demonstrated by the significant rise in priority attached to restoring native ecosystems in the survey [largest rising priority, up 8 places to be ranked 9th]. But, they also recognise that they can't solve the problems alone. The Agenda also highlights the need to ensure land use plans are optimised in response to community requirements and market expectations.
Labour resources
The challenges faced securing labour to support growth was another common theme in our conversations with industry leaders. Uncertainties around being able to recruit and retain migrant labour and the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme have left many organisations facing labour shortages. Leaders are very supportive of ensuring New Zealanders have the skills to access the wide variety of employment opportunities available across the industry but we need to recognise that this takes time. Current policy settings are putting at risk the ability of organisations across the primary sector to complete the work that needs to be done today.
The Coalition Government's decision to sign the CPTTPA agreement was welcomed, however concern was expressed about the stability of the global trade system, particularly with the Trump Administration appearing to take the view that a good deal can only be one where America is the winner. Leaders were concerned that should trade wars eventuate between the US and China or Europe it will be increasingly difficult for New Zealand to maintain a neutral position, which could put market access at risk to one or more of our major markets.
Rural infrastructure
The infrastructure challenges in rural areas also featured predominantly in our conversations this year. In relation to connectivity the call was clear, it is no longer acceptable for rural people to be treated as second class digital citizens; they have the right to expect the same levels of connectivity all other New Zealanders expect, especially given the critical role technology should be playing in maintaining quality of life and supporting businesses to prosper.
It was notable that the reliability and cost of electricity networks in rural areas featured in a number of discussions for the first time. Energy is always a topic of conversation internationally but has never been raised in our Agenda Roundtables before.
Contributors highlighted the increases they have been experiencing in energy costs, something they expect to continue, and challenged whether ageing distribution networks are sufficiently safe and reliable.
Other notable highlights of the 2018 Agribusiness Agenda
- The overall priority score recorded in the Industry Leaders survey reached a new high of 7.41, reflecting the continual increase of the number of high priority issues that industry leaders are having to manage.
- The priority score for establishing an umbrella body for the industry and restricting foreign ownership of land reported the greatest increases on last year of any priorities.
- In preparing this year's Agenda two grassroots Roundtables were held involving good farmers; while they were very proud of their roles as food producers they are looking for regulatory certainty, relevant technology and a little bit of support every now and then.
The Agenda also analyses key learnings from recent agri-food innovation events in San Francisco, which highlighted the need to be constantly alert to change through the development of networks, partnerships and collaborations.
Release of the Agribusiness Agenda 2017: The Recipe for Action
The success of the agri-food sector is dependent on individuals across the industry placing consumers at the centre of everything they do, according to the 2017 KPMG Agribusiness Agenda: The Recipe for Action.
Based on contributions from more than 100 industry leaders, the Agenda explores what needs to be done to capture more of the quarter of a trillion dollars New Zealand products realise in-market and make a greater contribution to our nation's prosperity. This relies on the industry collectively shifting its focus towards the consumers of the food and beverage, fibre and timber products it produces.
There is a simple unavoidable truth: no customers means that there is no business. However, historically, we have placed the majority of our focus on maximising production. When you are focused on the volume that you can produce, the government shapes your future as it sets the rules. However, as organisations pivot towards markets and consumers, the rules that shape the future are no longer determined by the domestic government but by much tougher masters, the consumers to whom they sell.
The government is not responsible for securing the value lift. Although it can be an enabler, creating and capturing value falls on every person and organisation involved in the industry, including farmers, processors and exporters, industry good organisations, councils, Maori trusts, iwi and service providers. Only by the whole industry seeking ways to work collaboratively will the pivot from a producer-focused, volume-based culture to a market-focused, value-based culture be achieved sufficiently quickly to capture the opportunities available to it.
The biggest risk to success is complacency. People don't recognise the impact that structural changes in the Agri-Food sector globally, driven by innovation and consumer preferences, will have on our traditional markets. Some have the potential to literally vanish overnight, there is no place for any comfort or complacency. New Zealand is the only developed nation that relies on growing biological products and selling them to the world to pay for schools, roads and hospitals.
The Agenda highlights a significant difference in outlook in the lead up to this year's election compared to three years ago. Concerns about the impact regulatory changes would have on the sector's productive capacity dominated conversations in 2014. This year, the election hardly rated a mentioned with conversation centring on the expectations of consumers and the community.
What action do industry leaders want to take?
The Agenda features 110 action items that have been curated from more than 250 ideas provided by industry leaders. The ideas cover the need for a values-led framework for the industry, recruiting and training the best talent, rapidly deploying leading edge technology, exploring new business models, getting closer to customers, leveraging the best ideas in the world and telling authentic stories to all.

Release of KPMG Agribusiness Agenda 2016, Volume 2: Foresight to the future
The New Zealand agri-sector has a huge opportunity to reap billions in additional earnings each year – by capitalising on emerging trends disrupting global markets for food, fibre and timber.
The latest KPMG Agribusiness Agenda highlights the huge gap between our export earnings and the end-value of our products. New Zealand exported a total of $37 billion in agri-food products in 2015. KPMG estimates those same products ultimately generate more than 0.25 trillion dollars in retail sales when sold to consumers around the world. The fundamental question is, how do we capture our fair share of that quarter of a trillion dollars.
The agri-sector is required to forge new pathways to market that close the gap between the producer and the end-consumer. The value is there, the only constraint is that of our history; we don't currently occupy or control the parts of the value chain that create the most value.
The Agenda identifies a number of emerging, disruptive trends that are re-shaping the global agri-food sector. These include:
- The emergence of cultured farming, where animal proteins can be grown without the environmental and ethical concerns of growing the whole animal;
- Consumers seeking personally tailored nutrition to maximise their health and performance, which could be order by app direct from the producer or via food printing vending machine; and
- The ability that technology provides for any producer, anywhere in the world to become a local food supplier to the world if they have a deeply authentic story underlying the food they produce, although it must be verifiable.
If the New Zealand primary sector can be first to capitalise on these and other emerging trends – and shape our industry in response – we can become the world's leading agri-food sector within the next 20 years. It is completely achievable; but it will require a concerted, collaborative effort from everybody involved in the industry. Sector leaders need to set bold targets for 2036. The industry must build a new, transparent partnership with all New Zealander's starting today.
The improvement in dairy prices indicated as of late, should not be a reason for the industry to become complacent and rest on its laurels. When the world is on the verge on an agrarian revolution, we cannot afford to believe that the markets we have supplied for decades will still be available to us next year.
In the greater scheme of things, a shift up or down in commodity price is not something we can control. It's critical the NZ industry stays focused on the bigger picture…and the much, much bigger prize.

Living At The Epicentre Of Canadian Innovation?
December 28, 2017
In the weeks leading up to Long View's ActivateDigital2018 conference taking place on February 27th in Guelph, you will hear a good deal about the city's Prosperity 2020 plan and the opportunities for the region to evolve into the Silicon Valley of the North.
Obviously, drawing such comparisons will generate debate as there is no doubt that other parts of Canada are equally committed to fuel the fires of innovation that enable our country to maintain its place as a leader on the global economic stage.
As someone who has spent the better part of 25 years in the information technology world and who also lives in the Guelph area, I believe I can bring an informed (if admittedly biased) perspective to this discussion.Is Guelph, and more broadly speaking the Toronto/Waterloo/Hamilton tech triangle, positioned to become the epicenter of Canadian innovation? I say that the answer is yes! The region has a strong history of technology innovation and entrepreneurship as well as the greatest density of post-secondary institutions in the country, providing access to those numerous bright sparks that can create the "next big thing." In fact, the breadth of expertise in this region, from high tech to medicine, manufacturing, and agri-food, means that there are multiple sectors of innovation along with well-established markets that will enable these advancements to take root.
For a region to lead in the age of digital transformation, it will require this unique and powerful concentration of resources – people and businesses – to foster the spark of innovation that will stimulate the digital economy.
In support of this energized vision of the region's digital future the Mayor of Guelph, Cam Guthrie, will be attending what many are calling the premier digital conference of the year; Activate Digital 2018. This conference, which will bring together for the very first time the new Canadian leaders of Microsoft, Cisco, and HPE to discuss Canada's digital future and how it will impact your business, speaks to the fact that Guelph is an important place to be when it comes to Canadian innovation.
I am certain that you will see that when you join us at the Activate Digital 2018 conference on February 27th, 2018. Use the following link to register today, as space is limited.

CHANGE OF DATE:Union Puerto v Las Zocas will now be played at 4pm on Saturday 22nd December.
Quote from: Captain Sensible on December 18, 2017, 20:53:29 pmCHANGE OF DATE:Union Puerto v Las Zocas will now be played at 4pm on Saturday 22nd December.I assume it's a typo Captain, but to confirm the game is on Saturday which is the 23rd not 22nd. Thanks
Today's results:Tenisca 3 Union Puerto 0CD Cotillo 2 Mensajero (La Palma) 1An excellent win for Cotillo over the league leaders.Cotillo are 14th with 25 points and Puerto are 16th with 23 points.
Over for a week from 20th to 27th January. What are my options for football at either Corralejo or Cotillo? Help with KO times would be helpful!Cheers.
CD Corralejo lost 9-1 at home to Gran Tarajal on Friday night
Quote from: Captain Sensible on January 14, 2018, 20:03:01 pmCD Corralejo lost 9-1 at home to Gran Tarajal on Friday night I'm still reeling from the fact that one of the assistant referees was wearing gloves!
Cotillo were poor again today against a much bigger and better opposition. With the exception of the usual couple of decent Cotillo players (their best player started on the bench for some reason - probably disciplinary I guess as he was quickly on inside the first 20 minutes) the rest were substandard. That said they had a couple of decent chances, but the other team deserved to win. Cotillo's bearded attacking midfielder was shown red for two yellows on the 90 minute mark which is another blow as he is one of their few decent players.Cotillo will be lucky to stay up this season IMO.

NEW YORK LIBERTY (0-0) vs. WASHINGTON MYSTICS (1-0)
Sunday, Sept. 10 • New York, N.Y. (Madison Square Garden) • 5:00 PM (ET)
The season comes down to a winner-take-all WNBA Playoffs 2nd Round game between the New York Liberty and Washington Mystics on Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden at 5 PM. The No, 3 seed Liberty, who closed the regular season on a 10-game winning streak, host Washington, who beat Dallas 86-76 in Round 1 of the playoffs on Wednesday night. This is the 2nd year in a row the Liberty host a 2nd Round game at The Garden, while the Mystics are experiencing the new WNBA Playoffs format for the 1st time. The Liberty won 2-of-3 during the regular season and both games at The Garden. These teams last met in the postseason in 2015 when the Liberty beat Washington 2-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In that series, Washington won game 1 at The Garden before the Liberty game back to win the next two and advance.
• The New York Liberty will face the Washington Mystics in a winner-take-all WNBA Playoffs 2nd Round game on Sunday, Sept. 10, at The Garden at 5 PM. The Liberty earned the No. 3 seed in the WNBA Playoffs and received a bye into the 2nd Round. The No. 6 seed Mystics advanced to the 2nd Round with an 86-76 win over the No. 7 seed Dallas Wings on Wednesday night.
• The Liberty surged to 3rd place in the WNBA and 1st in the Eastern Conference by winning 10-straight games to close out the regular season. The 10-game winning streak matched a franchise record from 2010 and is also the most consecutive wins to end the regular season WNBA history.
• New York is in the midst of one of its most successful 3-year stretches in franchise history. The Liberty have earned 3-straight WNBA Playoffs berths and posted the best record in the Eastern Conference in each of those years. Since the start of the 2015 season, New York has gone 66-36 (.647) posting 3-straight 20 win seasons for the 1st time in franchise history.
• The Liberty led the WNBA in defensive field goal percentage (.408) for the 3rd-straight season, becoming the 1st time in league history to lead the WNBA in defensive field goal percentage over a 3-year span.
There is no stopping Tina Charles and Elena Delle Donne, two of the most efficient scorers in the history of the game, they will make their presence felt on Sunday, so the edge may come to who is able to produce from the perimeter. During the Liberty's 10-game winning streak, Epiphanny Prince hit 13 3-pointers and shot .433 from 3-point range, to ranks 2nd on the team in scoring at 12.8 ppg. For the Mystics, Kristi Toliver came to Washington to provide big outside shot making abilities. She had 16 in the win over Dallas oN Wednesday, although she shot just 1-of-9 from 3-point range, but was 7-of-7 at the line. New York will look to limit Toliver and get hot from three.
New York won the season series against the Mystics 2-1, winning both games at Madison Square Garden, most recently 74-66 on Aug. 25. For the year, it was Shavonte Zellous that had the most success offensively against Washington, averaging a team-leading 15.3 ppg and getting to the free throw line 6.7 times per game. Tina Charles averaged just 11.3 ppg and 7.3 rpg in the three meetings. For the Mystics, who only had both Emma Meesseman and Elena Delle Donne for that game on the 25th, they predictably paced the team against New York, averaging 15.5 and 15.0 ppg respectively.
• New York finished with the best record in the WNBA Eastern Conference for the 3RD-straight season, going 22-12 overall, earning the No. 3 seed in the WNBA Playoffs.
• The Liberty posted 3-straight seasons with at least 20 victories for the 1st time in franchise history; New York has gone 66-36 (.647) since the start of the 2015 seasons.
• New York closed the regular season on a 10-game winning streak, which matched a franchise record, and is the longest streak to end the season for any team in WNBA history.
• After making a change to the starting lineup at the midway point of the season, New York went 14-3 over the final 17 games of the year.
• The Liberty once again led with their defensive, ranking 1st in the WNBA in defensive field goal percentage (.408). New York is the 1st franchise in league history to lead the league in defensive field goal percentage for 3-straight seasons (2015-17).
• From Aug. 20-Sept. 1 the Liberty held 5-straight opponents to fewer than 70 points, the longest such streak in the league since the Indiana Fever had 5 in a row in 2013
• Tina Charles submitted another MVP caliber season averaging 19.7 ppg (3rd) and 9.4 rpg (4th)
New York matched a franchise record from the 2010 season with 10-straight wins to close out the regular season. It is also the longest streak to end a season in WNBA history; the next closest is 7 games, accomplished by 3 teams, including the 2017 Los Angeles Sparks. For the Liberty, a number of factors played into the consecutive victories, but none bigger than defense and turnovers.
• Over the final 10 games of the season New York held opponents to just .384 from the field and 68.1 ppg
• The Liberty had a point differential of +11.8 over the 10-game streak, compared to +3.1 for the season
• New York held 6-of-10 teams to fewer than 70 points during the stretch, including 5 teams in a row, the longest such streak in the league since 2013
• The Liberty turned the ball over just 11.4 times per game during the winning streak
The Liberty led the WNBA in defensive field goal percentage in 2017, holding teams to .408 from the field for the year. It was the 3rd-straight season the Liberty has led the league in opponent shooting percentage, making New York the 1st franchise in league history to accomplish the feat three years in a row. This year's mark bested the 2016 number of .413, but did not match the near historic .393 teams shot against New York in 2015.
When the Liberty made a change to its starting lineup midway through the season, with explosive guard Sugar Rodgers coming off the bench, New York saw a big production increase from its 2nd unit. Through 17 games, New York ranked last in the WNBA averaging 14.8 bench points per game, but over the final 17 games of the year, the Liberty averaged 24.0 ppg from its 2nd unit. This allowed the Liberty to improve to 9th in the league, at 19.7 ppg, and the 24.0 ppg if averaged over the course of the seaosn would have been the 4th-best mark in the WNBA. New York went 14-3 during the 2nd half of the season.
Tina Charles closed out the regular season with an 18 point, 18 rebound double-double in an 82-81 win at Dallas, her 12th point/rebound double-double of the season. However, that snapped a stretch of 11-straight games without a double-double for Charles, by far the longest of her career, exceeding the previous long stretch of 6 games without a double-double. For her career, Charles ranks 2nd in WNBA history with 141 double-doubles. She is the only player in league history to have posted a double-double in more than 50 percent of her career games played, securing one in 53.4 percent of her games.
