text: Hi everyone, A few months ago I asked for help receiving the beacon on ARISSAT-1 and got a lot of helpful suggestions. It turns out that my biggest problem was trying to listen from inside the house. Moving the antenna outside was the key. Heaven only knows what my shingles are made of...I never expected a problem! So now that I got pretty comfortable with receiving, it was time to step up from my little HT and get a somewhat more flexible and powerful rig. The only satellite rigs still on the market are the ICOM 9100 and the Kenwood TS-2000 family. I know about the birdies in the TS-2000, but I could not really afford the ICOM...maybe should have gone for a used 910 or something, but I did end up with a TS-2000. I still have the Eggbeater omni/circularly polarized 2m antenna for the downlink, and it is working great! I get a nice strong signal from the FM beacon, and I'm able to hear people on the transponder. I also either picked up the CW beacon or someone using CW on the transponder. So anyway, the downlink is working fine. Now for the uplink: I built myself a 70cm Parasitic Lindenblad per the plans of Tony, AA2TX. I have it outside about 10 feet up, and an SWR meter shows something reasonable (1.3ish) so I guess I did not totally mess it up. I can also hit the local repeater 5 miles away on fairly low power, etc. The Lindenblad should be circularly polarized with kind of a donut-shaped pattern (more gain toward the horizon where the bird is further away, less overhead where it is closer). But so far I have not been able to hear myself trying to contact ARISSAT. Here is what I tried: I set the TS2000 to satellite mode, and set it up so I was transmitting in the middle of the transponder uplink band on USB. Then I started scanning through the downlink passband while transmitting ("W2BFJ, tuning") using the "RIT" control so that transmit frequency was not changing. I was listening with LSB. I heard another station weakly, but not myself. Can someone comment on my method, both in terms of technical goodness and good operating practice? A couple specific questions: 1) Xmitting in the middle of the passband and just scanning, I should be able to at least briefly find myself without messing with doppler, right? I was planning to lock the receive and transmit frequencies (constant sum) once I found myself and follow the doppler by hand, but I never got to that step. 2) I'm right that the sidebands are inverted from receive to xmit, right? I think I would hear something even if that was wrong. 3) Finally, what about power? How much have you required for success on ARRISAT? I was running around 25W. I could boost up to as high as 50, but I can only diddle so many knobs in 5 or 10 minutes :-) 3) I know a beam would be better, but trying to reduce variables, and pointing is one of them. Besides, I'm inside in my shack! But has anyone successfully uplinked with an omni/circular? I can always remove the parasitic elements and end up with a center-fed dipole to remove the circularity. (Not sure how that would affect the impedance match...) Thanks! Burns, W2BFJ

Defenders of special protective labor
legislation for women often maintain
that eliminating such laws would
destroy the fruits of a century-long
(5) struggle for the protection of women
workers. Even a brief examination of
the historic practice of courts and
employers would show that the fruit
of such laws has been bitter: they
(10) are , in practice, more of a curse
than a blessing.
Sex-defined protective laws have
often been based on stereotypical
assumptions concerning women's needs
(15) and abilities, and employers have
frequently used them as legal excuses
for discriminating against women.
After the Second World War, for
example, businesses and government
(20) sought to persuade women to vacate
jobs in factories, thus making room
in the labor force for returning
veterans. The revival or passage of
state laws limiting the daily or weekly
(25) work hours of women conveniently
accomplished this. Employers had only
to declare that overtime hours were
a necessary condition of employment
or promotion in their factory, and
(30) women could be quite legally fired,
refused jobs, or kept at low wage
levels, all in the name of "protecting"
their health. By validating such laws
when they are challenged by lawsuits,
(35) the courts have colluded over the years
in establishing different, less advant-
ageous employment terms for women
than for men, thus reducing women's
competitiveness on the job market.
(40) At the same time, even the most well-
intentioned lawmakers, courts, and
employers have often been blind to
the real needs of women. The lawmakers
and the courts continue to permit
(45) employers to offer employee health
insurance plans that cover all known
human medical disabilities except
those relating to

7 Business Tips for Real Estate ProsPosted in Marketing & Prospecting, New @ REALTOR Magazine, New REALTOR®, Selling, Social Media, by Brian Summerfield on February 6, 2013
This morning, the REALTOR® Magazine team hosted Dallas-based broker-agent Rogers Healy, who was in town as guest editor of our March/April issue. Healy, a 2009 30 Under 30 honoree and regular online columnist for the magazine, offered up the following timeless tips for real estate practitioners:
- When it comes to new marketing, start small and start free: This ranges from referrals to social media.
- Write down your business goals. Additionally, keep them in a place where you'll see them a lot.
- If you can sell yourself, your experience level doesn't matter.
- Have sense of urgency around what you do: People who are successful are always, always busy.
- Get help on the things you don't know. There are experts in other areas–accounting, mortgage lending, and titles, to name a few–who can help you out. Find them and build solid, mutually-beneficial relationships.
- Keep a positive attitude: No one's going to buy something from a salesperson who hates life.
- "Bank" your emotions, good and bad. The wheel of fate takes you up and down throughout your career and your life. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away. The key is to find a positive personal state for any business environment.

These points apply to many industry sectors. With respect to resources to make use of let me point out SCORE. This organization provides free consultation by industry experienced volunteers. SCORE has 13,000 such volunteers across the nation. The North Coast Chapter is located in Santa Rosa.
I like your statement about finding a positive personal state for any business environment. I believe that above all, this is the most important concept to take from this article because without positive thinking you won't get far.
Great Article. This really resonated with me as I am a form believer in positive thinking and energy. Without either you are setting up for failure. Thank you for sharing.
Good reminders! I'd like to mention that regarding #1, creating your own (web) content about your local market, local attractions, events, hot-spots, etc. is also free. It's also a good way to help clients — and attract them with local, curated content.
Some great tips for anyone starting in a new field, but especially those in Real Estate. Thanks for the post!
Nice tips for all Beginners ..thanks for sharing
Good tips for us. thanks for the post.
From someone who has been hurt badly by our local real estate market, yet am still in the market, all 7 points are 100% right on. Love Brian's positive, upbeat approach!

Going through a tough change, this was the boost I needed to look up and get back to what I knew to work!
Great tips…especially like the one about a "positive attitiude"! That can take you a long way.
I appreciate the info you have provided in this article. I am a Real Estate Agent and will surely make a note your points. Great tips for me.Thanks a lot.
Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any recommendations?
These are great tips, I would only add that it is wise to specialize in some area of real estate. This will cut down on advertising expenses and help establish you as an expert. It's one of the hardest decisions to make for most realtors but for the ones who do it, it makes all the difference.
Get help on the things you don't know. There are experts in other areas–accounting, mortgage lending, and titles, to name a few–who can help you out. Find them and build solid, mutually-beneficial relationships.
Write down your business goals. Additionally, keep them in a place where you'll see them a lot. thanks to share it..
How about this for #8: Find a niche and be the best you can be in that area. You do your clients a disservice if you are one of those "jack of all trades master of none" types.

AIDEA issues $122.7 million tax-exempt bonds for Providence Health
The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, AIDEA, has issued $122.72 million in tax-exempt "conduit" revenue bonds for Providence Health and Services, the agency announced Nov. 27.
Conduit bonds involve financing done by the authority, usually tax-exempt, on behalf of another institution, in this case Providence Health and Services. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service allows for certain types of tax-exempt financing by private entities for certain public purposes.
AIDEA has been designated by the IRS to issue tax-exempt bonds in Alaska for projects that qualify under the IRS code.
The recent bond issue is one of the larger tax-exempt conduit financings AIDEA has done. In 2010 the authority issued $29.2 million in conduit revenue bonds to finance new heart center at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. In 2009 AIDEA issued $90.1 million in conduit bonds also for Fairbanks Memorial, to help the hospital in refinancing bond debt.
Since the inception of its conduit bond program AIDEA has issued $1.1 billion in bonds to fund 310 projects.
The latest bond issue will provide funds to finance Providence Alaska Cottages, a 96-bed nursing home consisting of eight cottages and a commons building, currently under construction on Boniface Parkway in Anchorage, and to finance capital improvements at Providence Alaska Medical Center, on Providence Drive in Anchorage.
The improvements at Providence Alaska Medical Center include renovations of existing facilities and approximately 85,782 square feet of new construction. The project includes renovations and expansion of a Newborn Intensive Care Unit, an obstetrical unit, two open-heart surgery suites, expansion of the pharmacy service, sterile processing and materials management.
These projects are expected to create 85 new permanent positions. Additionally, the work requires an estimated 403 construction positions.
Because it was issued as conduit revenue bonds, neither AIDEA's credit nor the state's is at risk in connection with these bonds.
The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority is a public corporation of the state. The authority provides financing for industrial and business development through a number of programs in addition to the conduit bond financing. Through its business participation loan programs, AIDEA works with commercial banks in partnerships on long-term financing for business expansion.
AIDEA also invests directly in projects, such as the Ketchikan Shipyard, the Skagway Ore Terminal and, most recently, in a jack-up rig that will be used in Cook Inlet oil and gas exploration. The jack-up rig investment was done in a partnership with the company planning to use the rig, Buccaneer Energy of Australia.

MERAP looked at some Sabah numbers and statistics in previous chapters. The "Sabah Tsunami" is not limited to Sabah itself; as the numbers of Sabahans registered as voters in Selangor reveal tales of its own.
The table below shows the number of Sabahans registered as voters in Selangor (SvS) before GE2008 and after GE up to Q1 2012.
|Most SVSs are found in Pakatan Rakyat held constituencies
MERAP extracted the Selangor voters registered over the same duration with Sarawak and Kelantan KNs. These 2 states are chosen because 1) Kelantan is supposedly facing economic issues hence we would expect many Kelantanese to moved to Klang Valley for better opportunities like Sabahans 2) Sarawak, like Sabah, is located across the South China Sea hence its movement trend into Selangor should bear some resemblances to that of Sabah's.
The result of comparison is as follows:
The following conclusions may be derived:
1) the number of SvSs appearing in Selangor electoral roll for the past 4 years have exceeded the total number for the past 4 decades (ratio of 1.1 means for every 1 Sabahan registered for the past 4 decades, 1.1 more registered to vote in Selangor just within the past 4 years).
Notice the Hulu Langat Tsunami. Winning majority in GE2008 was merely 1,745. After the GE, 1,269 new voters with Sarawak and Sabah KNs were registred in/moved into Hulu Langat in significant numbers; exceeding the previous 4 decades.
2) the highest increase of Sabahans are found in parliament constituencies held by Pakatan Rakyat MPs
It is plausible to argue that many Sabahans have come to Selangor in search of better employment opportunities and living environment. If that is the case then it is a damning indictment of a state rich with oil and timber runned by Barisan Nasional and simulateneously an emphatic vote of confidence for a state runned by Pakatan Rakyat.
MERAP focus on electoral roll issues and would like to highlight the following findings:
1) there are instances of Sabahans who by their names do not appear to be related but are found huddled together in a single address.
Do take note also that in the 1999 Likas Election Petition where Justice Muhammad Kamil Awang ordered former Chief Minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee to vacate his Likas state assembly seat on the grounds that the 1998 Electoral Roll for that constituency was illegal. The Electoral Roll ruled illegal by the court carried Project IC indentity cards with old IC serial numbers ranging from H0288001 to H0384000 and H0480001 to H0576000 (ref: page 28, "Lest We Forget, Dr Chong Eng Leong).
Both of the above old IC number falls within the range of the electoral roll ruled illegal
Do note that old IC of the 3rd voter is within the range of the electoral roll ruled illegal
Do note that the above 4 old IC numbers falls within the range of the electoral roll ruled illegal
Please note that the first two old IC numbers falls within the range of the electoral roll ruled illegal.
2) In additions, there are many "one name wonders" as the SPR print screen below shows:
Normally one would expect a Malaysian name would have more than 1 word or have a "Bin" or "Binti" attached. The above samples raise the suspicion of whether any of the registered votes, are bona finde Malaysians or do exist at all.
MERAP identified the following 28 one name wonders and notice that the registration dates are all post GE12. The one name wonders seems to appear only recently.
During Q2 2012 to Q4 2012, the tempo of SvS increase accelerated, with the greatest increase in Klang, Kota Raja and Subang. The total increase for the 9 months was 2,388; equivalent to 24% of the total increase from GE2008 up to Q1 2012 (9,957). Perhaps this in an indication of last minute deployment of reinforcement?
Given the sudden surge in Sabahans in Selangor which is above the normal trend for the past 4 decades, there could be justifiable ground to suspect a Project IC, which is so successful in Sabah, is being replicated in Selangor. Perhaps the finding from this electoral roll analysis should be read vis-a-vis with the motives behind Teoh Beng Hock's treatment as a willing witness.

Specialist in imported food looks back on long careerBy Jack Stzinger, News Staff Writer
His clientele would arrive from as far as Meadville to the north and Parkersburg, W. Va., to the south, because you won't find Greek feta or Italian peccorino roman cheeses just anywhere. Or Canadian bacala (dried codfish), or olives imported from Greece and Morocco.
At the Star Meat Market, 134 E. Long Avenue., all these delights and more were available. Olive oil from Spain, Greece and Italy. Greek halvah candy, and Italian torone. Owner Gust Talaganis imported such specialties for over 50 years, from 1922 until just a few months ago when he closed the store and retired at the age of 78.
Today Gust, who has 13 grandchildren, lives quietly at home with his daughter, Elizabeth, and son-in-law, George. He goes for walks, helps his daughter around the house, and plays with his three-year-old collie-afghan, Awesome, who lives up to his name.
Gust also finds time to read a Greek-American newspaper, The National Herald, now that he has had a cataract operation which greatly improved his eyesight.
Of his long career, Gust says simply, I wanted to be a businessman,
Native to a small village near Tripoli, Greece, Gust brought his dream to America in 1911, when he was only 16. His imagination was fired by stories he heard about this country, a place where a man could find money in the streets,
He came first to Ashtabula, Ohio, where his brother James, who had arrived in 1908, was part-owner of a confectionery. Where is the money? Gust says he asked his brother as they walked the streets of Astabula together. I don't see any money.
Gust's first job in America was that of a shoe-shine boy in Astabula, He worked in this manner for about three years, and in 1914 he used his savings to open a restaurant. To find a name for the establishment Gust said he ran an advertisement in a local paper offering a $10 gold piece to whoever gave him the best idea. A schoolteacher won, he said, with the name Utopia a word which has Greek origins.
Gust said the restaurant did a good business, especially at dinner time. Sometimes, he said, we wouldn't have enough food for all the people. We had to close the restaurant.
When he was called by the draft in 1916, Gust sold the place. However, the First World War ended before he was ever inducted and the draft was canceled.
In 1918 Gust moved to Farrell, where he and two other men started a grocery store called the Colonial Market. Gust met his future bride, the former Mary Deep, as a customer at the store. They were married Jan. 31, 1922, three months after Mary's 14th birthday. Gust decided to open a grocery store in New Castle and his brother joined him in the venture.
Gust said he doesn't remember how or when the name Star Market came from, but that is what his store has always been called. During the grand opening celebration, Gust said he gave away a free measuring cup with every purchase. In those days pork chops were sold at the Market for 20 cents a pound, round steak for 25 cents a pound and baloney for 5 cents a pound.
The South Side was booming in those days, Gust said. "People were all over the streets, just like flies, he said.
Business was good, but Gust said he once had a run-in with the manager of a local A&P store who objected to Gust calling his coffee by the name Six o'clock, The brand name for A&P coffee was Eight o'clock, and the man told Gust he couldn't use the o'clock' phrase in advertising his coffee. Gust says he told the man he wouldn't change the name, and he also told his competitor that someday he would come back to the market looking for a job with the Talaganis'. Sure enough, one day the man was fired at the A&P, and he did return to ask for work. Gust refused.
Gust and Mary's first child and their only son, George, was born in November, 1922, and Mary's mother became a grandmother at age 30.
The family lived at 1116 Sciota Street from 1921 on. Mary stayed home to raise the children, which eventually numbered six. While they were growing up, Gust's son and five daughters helped him in the store. Although it was a family-run store, outsiders were employed as butchers and clerks.
It was fun, really, Elizabeth said. We all showed compassion for one another.
The family were early members of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, 215 E. Reynolds St., founded about 1930.
In 1934, Gust came out with his own trading stamps, becoming the first New Castle merchant to employ such stamps. Gust also said he was the first man to advertise a grocery story in the pages of the New Castle News.
People would come to the market for Gust's fine meats and other domestic and imported foods, but they also would often get free medicinal advice. Gust said he would recommend sage tea for people with diabetes, and lupini beans for customers with hemorrhoid problems.
People would come in and tell him about their ailments, Elizabeth recalls. And they listened to him. They'd come back later and say he helped them.
Gust sold cigarettes at the market, but he didn't believe in smoking. You eat when you're hungry, you drink when you're thirsty, he said, Smoking, what is it?
Here's your poison, he said to customers to whom he sold cigarettes.
Elizabeth said the main reason her father has lived so long in good health is that he constantly watches his diet. If he eats something and it doesn't agree with him, he just won't touch it again, she said.
Gust admits he likes to take a sip of whiskey after rising in the morning and another before bed at night. Occasionally he will have a drink before dinner. Whiskey is good for you, he said. It stimulates your heart.

This is what I love about the show and why I consider it the place I feel the most alive. Howard embodies the spirit I try to describe in my book. He has stood up to authority (or been unable to live with it) the same way I have, but obviously with a different degree of success. The compulsion to do the opposite of what you are told does not lend itself to many occupations outside the entertainment industry. Within the industry, it is unlikely that you will be very successful without it.
In the notes sent home from school by my teachers, this theme comes up again and again. (Just look at the top of this post.) Giving teachers the respect they deserved did not register for me back then. During a "back to school night" at my kid's school last month I was forced into a cramped child's desk while my son's teacher droned on about what the curriculum for the year would be. I found myself alternately gazing off at nothing and exchanging inappropriate whispers with another dad until we got dirty looks from our wives.
Today marks the halfway point of my book tour in New York, and I am beginning to really miss my wife and two kids back in Venice Beach. My wife is hot and my kids are cuter than your kids. That is just a fact. I feel guilty when we are separated even though I know I need to be because I am the breadwinner and I can't win bread at home (that is a horrible sentence).
Morning radio interviews have been pretty constant this week. The Bob & Tom Show, which has a huge listener audience in the south and the midwest, has been kind enough to interview me every week for the past month. I have 'guested' on most of the big podcasts and I am at the point that I am sick of my own whiny stupid voice.
The interviewers have been, without exception, connected and curious about the book, many having actually read the advanced copy sent to them by the publisher. What is most difficult is when the large part of me that is a narcissist grows weary and is overtaken by the self-loathing part that always lurks in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to shine. The product I am peddling, after all, is ME and when I'm not feeling good about ME, I start to dislike talking about ME...
It is after these marathons of ME that I find reconnecting with my own family a little rocky. Suddenly it is about THEM, and THEY could give a shit about how I got started in comedy or the topical jokes I have on the election. I must now shrink way down and become part of a team again. Once I do, I start to feel really good, but the transition is tough when you don't drink or do drugs.
Family and friends can grow distant without maintenance, and after this tour I will be spending a lot of time just hanging with the people I love. Many of them I will see tonight at Caroline's Comedy Club. It is my New York Book Party and everyone from my mother, sister, cousins and in-laws to my best friends growing up will be there. It might be the best part of having written a book.
These are the characters who populate the book and the ones I plan on making fun of for a long time to come. My mother (as you may have deduced from the title) figures prominently in the book and she was not aware of some of the material prior to my writing it down. Her reaction to the book weighed heavily on me for the whole last year. We are Irish-Catholic and there is an information lock-down when it comes to family matters. This book shatters all of that, but in what I hope is a loving way. She just finished reading it last week and she loved it. Made her cry. It reminded me of what an amazing and brave lady she is.

The clavicle connects the shoulder girdle to the axial skeleton, providing support and mobility for optimal upper extremity function. Fractures of the clavicle account for up to 4% of all fractures and comprise up to 44% of all injuries to the shoulder girdle. We present a 63-year-old female patient who suffered what appeared to be a minimally displaced Type V lateral clavicle fracture after a fall as evidenced by an anteroposterior shoulder radiograph. However, an axillary projection demonstrated the proximal segment to be posteriorly displaced and buttonholed through the trapezius musculature with tenting of the skin. The patient underwent an open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation of the fracture with complete healing, subsequent removal of the hardware and return to her previous level of function six months following surgery. After an extensive literature search, we believe this is the first case report documenting a variant of a Type V lateral clavicle fracture, specifically with significant posterior displacement of the proximal segment, mimicking a Type IV AC separation. This fracture pattern is unstable and represents a double disruption of the superior shoulder suspensory complex. Surgical management was successful in returning our patient back to her previous activity of daily living.

The clavicle connects the shoulder girdle to the axial skeleton, providing support and mobility for optimal upper extremity function. Fractures of the clavicle account for up to 4% of all fractures and comprise up to 44% of all injuries to the shoulder girdle [1–3]. These fractures can be separated into three varieties according to anatomic location (Allman's classification) [4]. The majority occur in the middle third of the clavicle with about 17% involving the lateral third and less than 3% involving the medial third [3]. Fractures of the lateral third of the clavicle can be subdivided into five types. The first three types were originally described by Dr. Neer and types IV and V were added later. Type I injuries are nondisplaced with the coracoclavicular (CC) ligament attached to the medial segment. Type II injuries are separated into IIA and IIB. In the type IIA injury, the CC ligament is not torn and attached to the lateral segment while the medial segment is displaced superiorly. Type IIB fracture consists of a torn conoid ligament while the trapezoid ligament is attached to the lateral fragment, thus the medial segment is displaced. Type III injuries involve the articular surface of the lateral clavicle. Type IV injuries are pediatric periosteal sleeve fractures. Type V are comminuted lateral clavicle fractures with the CC ligament intact but attached to one of the fracture fragments which is detached from the proximal or medial segment [5–7].
We present a 63-year-old female patient who appeared to suffer a minimally displaced Type V lateral clavicle fracture. However, an axillary projection demonstrated the proximal segment to be posteriorly displaced, possibly protruded through the trapezius muscle. In this study, we describe the first report of a case documenting a variation of a type V lateral clavicle fracture, specifically with significant posterior displacement of the proximal segment, mimicking a type IV acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation. This fracture pattern also represents a double disruption of the superior shoulder suspensory complex [8]. The clinical presentation, radiographs, and surgical management are presented. The patient was informed that the data, clinical, and intraoperative pictures concerning her case would be submitted for publication and she has consented. This case report was exempt from the IRB.
Case report
Fractures of the clavicle are common injuries [1–3]. Most involve males, about 80% involve the middle third and adults are more likely to have a displaced fracture than children [2]. There are two peaks in the incidence of clavicle fractures: the first is in males less than thirty years of age and the second is in females over the age of eighty years [3, 9, 10]. Most fractures of the middle third are acceptably displaced, whereas fractures involving the medial and lateral thirds tend to be non-displaced [3]. As noted earlier, five types of lateral clavicle fractures have been described in the orthopaedic literature [5–7]. In the Type V variety; the lateral clavicle fracture is comminuted, however the CC ligament (conoid and trapezoid) is intact but attached to an intermediate inferior clavicular fragment, resulting in its functional detachment from the proximal segment [7].
The superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC) is comprised of the glenoid, coracoid, and acromial processes, the CC ligament, the lateral clavicle, and the AC joint. The SSSC is therefore a bone and soft tissue structure, which provides considerable stability and some mobility to the shoulder girdle. A disruption of two of the components of the SSSC results in a potentially unstable anatomic situation that can have adverse healing and long term functional consequences [8, 11]. Both Type II and V lateral clavicle fractures represent a double disruption of the superior shoulder suspensory complex (two disruptions of the clavicular-scapular linkage), characterized by a lateral clavicle fracture and a detachment of the coracoclavicular ligament from the proximal segment. Consequently, a strong case can be made for simplifying the classification scheme by eliminating the Type V variety and considering such injuries as a Type II variant. As a double disruption of the SSSC, a potentially unstable anatomic situation is present -- the scapular/distal clavicular segment can displace inferiorly and to a lesser degree the proximal clavicular segment can displace superiorly. If displacement is significant, there is the potential for a nonunion occurring at the clavicular fracture site and a surgical ORIF must be considered. In our patient, however, displacement of the proximal segment was posterior with buttonholing through the trapezius muscle (a situation reminiscent of a Type IV AC joint separation). The mechanism of injury most likely included either an anterior to posterior directed force applied to the proximal segment or a posterior to anterior directed force applied to the distal segment or a combination of both [6, 11–14]. Many different surgical techniques have been described in the literature for the treatment of significantly displaced lateral clavicle fractures [5, 9, 15–18].
There are two case reports in the literature describing a posteriorly displaced proximal clavicular segment entrapped within the trapezius muscle associated with a lateral clavicle fracture. Both involved pediatric patients. Itokazu et al. [19] reported an 11-year-old child with this particular injury pattern after a fall from a bicycle who underwent open reduction with Kirschner wire fixation and returned to previous activity at the final follow up. A closed reduction under general anesthesia and non-operative management was also successful in a 13-year-old hockey player with this particular injury pattern. The authors concluded that patients with an open physis and a thick periosteum, a closed reduction could be successful in the treatment of a lateral clavicle fracture with posterior displacement of the medial segment [20]. In our adult patient, however given the significant posterior displacement through the trapezius muscle with tenting of the skin by the proximal segment, a surgical open reduction and internal fixation was necessary to prevent a non-union and persistent discomfort/dysfunction from occurring. Kirschner wire fixation of lateral clavicle fractures has been associated with pin breakage and proximal migration [21]. In our patient, the wires were bent, left beneath the skin and removed when callus was seen on follow-up radiographs. It is essential to bend the K-wire at the end to prevent migration. Another key component of our case is obtaining the axillary radiograph view to make this diagnosis. It is very important to get both the AP and axillary view on lateral clavicle fractures to make sure that the medial segment is not displaced posteriorly before considering treatment options.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an adult patient with a variant of the type V lateral clavicle fracture and the proximal clavicular segment displaced posteriorly and entrapped within the trapezius muscle. The patient did well and returned to her previous functional status six months following open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation. At the one-year follow-up, the patient continued to do well without any complications.
In patients sustaining a fracture of the lateral third of the clavicle, both anteroposterior and axillary radiographic views must be obtained given that the AP projection may look to be quite acceptable, while the axillary view may reveal the true nature of the injury. Our patient presented with a type V lateral clavicle injury with the proximal clavicular segment posteriorly displaced and buttonholed through the trapezius muscle. We believe type V lateral clavicle fractures should be considered a type II variant as both represent a double disruption of the superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC). Such double disruptions represent a potentially unstable anatomic situation, requiring a surgical open reduction and internal fixation if significant displacement is present as was the case with our patient.

Ever since I started my blog, I've wanted to devote a post
to APPLE GOURDS.
They are unique and intriguing. A fascination to me. I've
grown a lot of gourds, when we lived in the country and
had the space. You've probably seen them made into bird
houses and decoration crafts. My favorite is the Apple Gourd.
They grow to about 8" to 10" and look just like an apple.
I'm doing this post in hopes you fall in love with them as
much as I did. Right now, during the Fall Craft fairs
and events is when you'll find them.
This year's crop, from the patch will
look like this one. If you buy a green one,
you will have to dry it.
CLICK HERE for information on drying, growing and
variety s of gourds
There's a big bonus buying any gourd. There's seeds inside !
I would buy a fresh picked green gourd and dry it on your own
if you want to harvest seeds. With the dried gourds, there's
no guarantee how old the might be and I've had difficulty
growing older seeds.
If they are dried, they will look like these.
Buying dried gourds cuts down on a lot of work
and may be a little more expensive. They are
ready for painting, decoupage or making
a bird house.
CLICK HERE to learn how to make a bird house.
***always wear rubber gloves***
For those of you who have not discovered the miracles
of TSP...CLICK HERE
Can be purchased at
Here is one of my Apple gourds, I decoupaged the kids, grand kid's & great gran kid's
photos onto. I sculpted my leaves with Crayola Model Magic. After they were dry I hot
melted them onto my gourd.
This is not an Apple gourd, but I painted it in 04' ( Crap...that was ten years ago !) and still
decorate with it.
Here's some more examples of pretty Apple Gourds, for ideas. Some of the images are linked to sites.
Here's a sheet of elements you might want to decoupage onto your gourds
using a cute pair of kittens from BUM,BE BUTTON and pretty roses
from FLICKER
(1) Clean the gourd
(2) Paint the gourd
(3) Decoupage the elements onto the gourd
(4) Add an antique glaze
When I decoupage, I prefer to use decoupage paper, wrapping paper or tracing paper.

The Sumatran tiger cubs have been caught on WWF's motion-triggered video cameras playing with a large dry leaf and frolicking in the Sumatran rainforests. WWF released the video footage, along with a Google Earth tour by David Tryse showing the threats to the tigers' habitat.
"According to WWF estimate only 400 Sumatran tigers remain today. 12 of these tigers and two mothers with cubs were recorded in WWF's camera traps over a period of 2 months." Along with elephants, rhinos and orangutans, these tigers live in lowland rainforests of Sumatra called Bukit Tigapuluh that is presently being logged by Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL) and Asia Pulp and Paper (APP).
Learn more from Mongabay, WWF press release and watch full video footage of the cubs, and find out how you can help save Sumatra.

maybe instead of thinking you know everything, let go of your ego for a while and you'd start to get to know her, and maybe if you threw away your fears of getting hurt and just loved her, maybe you two could make it.
I just don't want to do anything to pressure you. Or drive you away. Even though sometimes I can't help it. Just like I can't help that I fell in love with you. Cause I did. I love you. And it scares me, a little bit, but, there it is.
I would rather say 'I love you' just once and truly mean it than say it a thousand times and never mean it even once
I often miss this little girl whose dreams had no barriers, who believed in a world where anything is possible, with a heart that was full and unbroken
I wonder how many times we'll say goodbye before we actually let go
All I had to say is goodbye. We're better off this way.
Just so you know, there's a space that only you can fill. Just so you know, I loved you then, I guess I always will.
For the first time in my life I know the true meaning of "break down." You always hear people say, "Oh, I`m having a break down today!" But it's different than that. It's when something so small, so ridiculously unimportant sets you off & you snap. You feel it inside of you & you try to hold it back. You don't need people asking questions but someone will make a joke at your expense, or playfully slap your shoulder & you lose it. You almost hate them for what they've said or done. But maybe that`s not why..maybe you hate them simply cause they're happy.
To forget somebody isn't possible. Deep inside, you remember everything. You may not think of them for years at a time but you don't know how to forget. You can recall the way they smiled when they were happy and the way their faces showed no expression when they couldn't find their way.
"You are my life. You're the only thing it would hurt to lose"

Evolution Motorsports opened its garage for the first time in 2017 just before the first
pre-Season test of the year to show of their car design for this years Supercup campaign.
The impressive livery made by Gerdoner Designs is a complete revolution of last years livery,
giving a much more modern look, but still keeping the familiar blue-white combination.
Fewer changes are happening to the drivers that are lucky to drive that beautiful car, as Evolution
extend the contract of both its drivers of last season:
#17 - Tobias Polotzek: After a difficult start to his Supercup career, after replacing Marcel Rautter mid-Season
last year, Polotzek emerged as big surprise towards the end of the season, getting impressive results in Suzuka,
Abu Dhabi and Mexico. The team is confident that the young talent can not only carry over his good form, but
can even top it in his first full Supercup season.
#18 - Dennis Jordan: Going into his third year in Supercup, Jordan never looked as promising as he is now.
Since last seasons summer break he was the fifth highest points scorer, also adding his first two podiums to
his account. As with his teammate, the team is confident that he can carry over his form and challenge for his
first victory in the upcoming season.
The team is happy continue with both drivers and is looking forward to a successful season.
While there is no set goal, Evolution wants to fight for top five spots regularly and improve its positions in both
drivers and team championship compared to last year.
Finishing the first pre-Season test in P2, the team seems prepared for the upcoming challenge.
Jordan, who drove the first test with the new car, will be joined by teammate Polotzek in Bahrain next week.

Chinese ambassador to Kabul, Yao Jing in an interview with Ariananews said his country is trying to connect Afghanistan to Iran and middle Asian countries by railway.
Yao Jing declared Afghanistan and the One Belt, One Road project are very valuable for China in terms of economic.
Ambassador Jing said, "we need to include Afghanistan in our programs that we can succeed. Afghanistan is the connecting point to central Asia and south Asia.
The Ministry of Public Works says Afghanistan's role is very effective in New Silk Road.
Spokesman of ministry of Public Works, Mahdi Rohani said, "the completion of one belt, one road project is very important for Afghanistan and Afghanistan will be a central connection point."

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in several methods. The patient might be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific diseases, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It should be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue might have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can notify the physician and the client to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Subsequently, one's dependence on sight is highlighted when one faces a momentary or possible permanent loss of this important sense. For this reason, when corrective measures are looked for, specific kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind useful content of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals should know. Probably, the main factor why this type of eye surgery has actually ended up being well accepted is since most of its cases had actually been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery involves the operation have a peek at these guys of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, many people say that the operation can be very dangerous.
In other words, a simple error might practically trigger an person's lifetime blindness. It is essential to consider many aspects prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the right restorative procedure one has to go through.
2. It is not a perfect treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment might correct your vision but it does not always suggest that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always indicate they have ideal vision too.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not always be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people view it
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous methods. It needs to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can notify the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.
Two Important items Individuals Do Certainly Not Recognize Concerning LASIK Eye Surgical Treatment
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.

Celtic took the lead on three occasions but had to be content with a point against Manchester City following a thriller encounter at Celtic Park.
Craig Fowler gives his take on a breathtaking 90 minutes.
There's life in Celtic's European campaign
Qualifying from the Group of Death will likely remain too tall an order. To pull off that task, Celtic will have to hope they can replicate this performance away at either Manchester City or Borussia Monchengladbach, or likely both, to take one of the top two spots. History would tell us that's unlikely to be the case. What they can hope for after tonight's results - and don't sleep on the importance of Barcelona's come-from-behind win in Germany - is that Barca and Manchester City will both take maximum points off Gladbach, leaving Celtic with the task of defeating the Germans at Parkhead to qualify for the Europa league. Though it'll be easier said than done, they can certainly achieve it if they show the kind of intensity, energy and desire they did against City.
Celtic, at home, can take on the best at their own game
You can't go toe to toe with the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona. You have to concede possession, keep it tight and take your chances when you get them.
Well, that's what we all thought, and we could not have been more wrong.
Celtic hurt City by pressing their opponents high up the park, forcing mistakes and getting men forward quickly to support the attack. You're not supposed be able to do that to a Pep Guardiola team without getting completely murdered at the other end. (Which, in fairness, is kind of what happened, what with the three goals conceded at home. Thankfully they were clinical at the other end)
They did tire as the game went on. Then again, so did City. The visitors finished with a flourish and could have taken all three points at the death, but from the 60th minute until the last ten or so, they were just as happy as the Celtic players for a breather in what was a frenzied encounter.
Tom Rogic will be a top class player (if he can improve his stamina)
As great as Rogic was last season, and he really was, he never transferred his domestic form to European competition. Continually he would go missing from such fixtures against stronger opponents, as he'd struggle to make things happen on the ball. That changed in this game. During the first half, he looked just at home as he does in Scottish football. City found it so hard to get the ball from him, thanks to his rare combination of size and technical ability, while his movement off the ball seems to be improving under Brendan Rodgers. He was able to show his class against one of the world's strongest teams and you couldn't help but think it is a level he could play at every week.
Then the second half started. Just like the Old Firm game a few weeks back, his energy dropped and he was subbed for Stuart Armstrong. While Armstrong did his bit, helping to close down the opposing defence and almost putting Scott Sinclair through with a lobbed pass that drew the linesman's flag, there was little doubt Celtic missed Rogic's ability on the ball after the Australian was removed. If he can get to a level where he's able to play in such a high intensity game for the full 90 minutes, he'll be worth another eight-figure fee to Celtic when EPL suitors come calling.
Things still need tightened up defensively for Celtic
Rodgers didn't want to focus on the negatives post-match, so I'll take care of that for him. As great as Celtic were going forward and throwing City off their gameplan, they were still too vulnerable at the back. If you're going to attack Manchester City, as Celtic did, then there's always going to be avenues to exploit. But that doesn't excuse some of the ease with which City threatened the home goal at times. The first goal came from an attack that went right through the centre of the Celtic defence. It came out of nothing. The visitors had barely been out their own half and suddenly Erik Sviatchenko was forced to clear for a corner. They then twice failed to fully clear their lines before Fernandinho controlled Aleksandar Kolarov's wayward shot and finished beyond Craig Gordon.
Set-pieces were a cause for concern throughout the match. This was despite the obvious physical advantage Celtic held as City had very few in their starting XI over 6ft in height. With his side still to register a clear sheet in the Scottish Premiership during his tenure, it's something Rodgers can work on and improve without the need for wholesale reinforcements in the transfer window.
Sometimes there's nothing you can do
It would be unfair to end on a negative after a terrific Celtic display and a thoroughly enjoyable night of football. Celtic could have done more to prevent goals one and two, but there was little that could have been done to stop City's third equaliser. The passing was short, crisp, rapid and they cut Celtic open on the right. It was a piece of football any opponent would have struggled to stop. In the end it helps bring the result into perspective. No-one gave them a chance before kick-off and yet they scored three times against the English Premier League leaders.

Database management system is one type of computerized program, which controls and maintains the creation and use of a database. When listening to web developers, you may probably hear about words, like efficient, scalable, and robust. All these focus on the power of database management system solutions and how it assimilates with other tech innovations. An integrated collection of data files and record allows user application tasks to easily access the same database. This guide shows what to look for in IT management and how to get started with them.
System and Application Level Data Recovery
DBMS software should be recoverable within pre-defined time objective; it has implications for disaster mending and for external, internal auditors, high-level stakeholders, and other governing bodies. For typical IT applications, the data should be recovered within one to two hours of failure. DBMS should also be in the top recovery list, after OS, hardware, network, and data storage. Hence, maintaining a consistent, coordinated, documented plan for recovering action is a must for all types and sizes of data from corrupt data in a single file to set of tables.
Ease of Development
Most online business development and application kits are configured to form a distributed solution, which allows the company to access a centralized database system. This usually takes the form of application written in modern or traditional programming languages, like C, C++, or Java on distributed server platforms, such as Windows, Unix or Linux. All these apps should perform well, regardless of specific database management system execution. These business critical applications can be supported using tools that use SQL syntax, reduction of SQL limitations, storing XML in DBMS, and Unicode enhancement to improve dedicated network paths and communication servers.
Getting started with database management solution isn't that hard as it used to be.
