Someone named Payson just left a comment on a very old blog post. It starts this way:
Hello, happy 2015.
I have never heard of this website but out of rage I googled "sprint is a fucking piece of shit" and this came up. I don't blog and I rarely leave comments on anything. However, that being said, Sprint has managed to fuel a fire deep within me that has caused this post…
Heh. I love that.
It's been ten years since I ran into some difficulties trying to change my cellular phone plan with Sprint. In a fit of frustration, I lashed out the only way I could, by using this newfangled blog thing I was experimenting with to create what is arguably one of my most successful posts ever. It is lovingly titled "Fucking Sprint!!!"
And for the ten years, angry Sprint customers like Payson have been venting their rage in the comments.
Given the relative insignificance of this blog, it's kind of shocking how well that post does in search results. As I write this, Googling for "Fucking Sprint" will return it as the 3rd link. I'm a little disappointed that it's fallen all the way down to #12 in a search for "Fuck Sprint," but I'm happy to see that when I search for "Sprint fuckers" it comes up #1. (On Bing it comes up as #1, #1, and #2, respectively…not that anyone cares.)
Ten years ago, "social media" marketing wasn't really a thing. But I'm sure that by now Sprint has some marketing people whose job it is to monitor their web reputation. Given the out-of-proportion prominence of that post, I figure someone at Sprint (Hi!) is probably aware that I'm pissed off.
I guess that will have to do.

Angels are helpful in passing along much needed clues. Sometimes I'm not always on the ball. I woke up feeling less than physically fit. Every step I take brings pain, from a pulled muscle. In A Course in Miracles the Holy Spirit teaches that all pain comes from our ego trying to join us on a journey it cannot take.
I always try to make it a point to give gratitude for the good and not so good. My mantra (when I remember) is "I can hardly wait to see the good that is going to come from this!"
Rather than give in to the physical pain body, I pushed myself outside to water the flowers. A wonderful remedy to take my mind off me and serve the thirsty pansies. It was kind of funny because I found this old basketball in the laundry room in the afternoon. VICTORY 111 brought a smile as it did seem the angels were cheering me on. In her book, Healing With the Angels, Doreen Virtue writes:
111 - Monitor your thoughts carefully, and be sure to only think about what you want, not what you don't want. 111 is a sign a gate of opportunity is opening up and your thoughts are manifesting into form at record speeds. The 111 is like the bright light of a flashbulb. It means the universe has just taken a snapshot of your thoughts and is manifesting them into form."
Stay in the game with your eye on the victory today.
Joyful blessings,
Rae Karen

Cross-Lingual Transfer of Natural Language Processing Systems
Accurate natural language processing systems rely heavily on annotated datasets. In the absence of such datasets, transfer methods can help to develop a model by transferring annotations from one or more rich-resource languages to the target language of interest. These methods are generally divided into two approaches: 1) annotation projection from translation data, aka parallel data, using supervised models in rich-resource languages, and 2) direct model transfer from annotated datasets in rich-resource languages.
In this talk, we present different methods for transfer of syntactic and semantic dependency parsers. We propose an annotation projection method that performs well in the scenarios for which a large amount of in-domain parallel data is available. We also propose a method which is a combination of annotation projection and direct transfer that can leverage a minimal amount of information from a small out-of-domain parallel dataset to develop highly accurate transfer models. Furthermore, we present an unsupervised syntactic reordering model to improve the accuracy of dependency parser transfer for non-European languages. Finally, we propose a semantic transfer method based on multi-task learning by leveraging supervised syntactic information in the target language of interest.

Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary company, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, have agreed to pay stiff fines for the accusations that they illegally marketed the drug Risperdal. The penalties for their actions will cost them $2.2 billion in criminal fines and civil liabilities.
The Department of Justice filed charges against the Risperdal manufacturer after an investigation revealed that the company was promoting the drug for uses that were not approved by the FDA. Some of these uses, including as a chemical restraint in dementia patients, could actually be dangerous and result in death. In addition to false advertising charges, the company was also accused of paying kickbacks to physicians and pharmacist who pushed the drug to their patients. Not only are these findings disturbing from a criminal standpoint, but for patients who have trusted their doctors and pharmacist recommendations, these charges leave many feeling manipulated and less willing to believe the people who are supposed to be patient advocates.
Previous Risperdal Lawsuits
Unfortunately, these fines coupled with past Risperdal lawsuits only add to the troubles that Johnson & Johnson is facing. Earlier this year, cases against the Risperdal manufacturer for not informing patients that male children who took the medication were at risk for growing breast tissue (gynecomastia) where piling up. Many male patients have alleged that the drug resulted in this emotionally debilitating side effect, requiring multiple corrective surgeries to remove the breast tissue. These plaintiffs claim that they were prescribed the medication as children and had they known that gynecomastia was a potential side effect, they may have chosen a different medication to help treat their condition.
While Risperdal was designed to be an antipsychotic medication to help people diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and autism, the side effects and criminal behavior of the manufacturer will probably lead to more Risperdal lawsuits as attorneys work to help their clients who were affected by these actions or inactions as the case may be. If you or someone you care for has been treated with Risperdal for other conditions than the FDA approved it or have had breast tissue growth, we may be able to help. Please call us or fill out our online form for a free case review.

After independence from Italian colonial control in 1941 and 10 years of British administrative control, the UN established Eritrea as an autonomous region within the Ethiopian federation in 1952. Ethiopia's full annexation of Eritrea as a province 10 years later sparked a violent 30-year struggle for independence that ended in 1991 with Eritrean rebels defeating government forces. Eritreans overwhelmingly approved independence in a 1993 referendum. ISAIAS Afworki has been Eritrea's only president since independence; his rule, particularly since 2001, has been highly autocratic and repressive. His government has created a highly militarized society by pursuing an unpopular program of mandatory conscription into national service, sometimes of indefinite length. A two-and-a-half-year border war with Ethiopia that erupted in 1998 ended under UN auspices in December 2000. A UN peacekeeping operation was established that monitored a 25 km-wide Temporary Security Zone. The Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) created in April 2003 was tasked "to delimit and demarcate the colonial treaty border based on pertinent colonial treaties (1900, 1902, and 1908) and applicable international law." The EEBC on 30 November 2007 remotely demarcated the border, assigning the town of Badme to Eritrea, despite Ethiopia's maintaining forces there from the time of the 1998-2000 war. Eritrea insisted that the UN terminate its peacekeeping mission on 31 July 2008. Eritrea has accepted the EEBC's "virtual demarcation" decision and repeatedly called on Ethiopia to remove its troops. Ethiopia has not accepted the demarcation decision, and neither party has entered into meaningful dialogue to resolve the impasse. Eritrea is subject to several UN Security Council Resolutions (from 2009, 2011, and 2012) imposing various military and economic sanctions, in view of evidence that it has supported armed opposition groups in the region.

Economy: Since formal independence from Ethiopia in 1993, Eritrea has faced many economic problems, including lack of financial resources and chronic drought, which have been exacerbated by restrictive economic policies. Eritrea has a command economy under the control of the sole political party, the People's Front for Democracy and Justice. Like the economies of many African nations, a large share of the population - nearly 80% in Eritrea - is engaged in subsistence agriculture, but the sector only produces a small share of the country's total output. Since the conclusion of the Ethiopia-Eritrea war in 2000, the government has expanded military- and party-owned businesses to complete President ISAIAS's development agenda. The government has strictly controlled the use of foreign currency by limiting access and availability; new regulations in 2013 aimed at relaxing currency controls have had little economic effect. Few large private enterprises exist in Eritrea and most operate in conjunction with government partners, including a number of large international mining ventures, which began production in 2013. In late 2015, the Government of Eritrea introduced a new currency, retaining the name nakfa, and restricted the amount of hard currency individuals could withdraw from banks per month. The changeover has resulted in exchange fluctuations and the scarcity of hard currency available in the market. While reliable statistics on Eritrea are difficult to obtain, erratic rainfall and the percentage of the labor force tied up in national service continue to interfere with agricultural production and economic development. Eritrea's harvests generally cannot meet the food needs of the country without supplemental grain purchases. Copper, potash, and gold production are likely to continue to drive limited economic growth and government revenue over the next few years, but military spending will continue to compete with development and investment plans.

Neurodegenerative disorders affect many people, particularly in the aging population. Yet the cause of these disorders is unknown for the majority of the most prevalent forms of these diseases. Our laboratory focuses on identifying the mechanisms underlying neuronal homeostasis in the aging mammalian brain. Using a phenotype-driven approach, we have identified several novel molecular mechanisms that underlie neuron death. Recently, we have extended this unbiased approach to identify genes that modify the expressivity of the phenotype caused by the primary mutation. Currently, our lab is focusing on the how changes in translation elongation, including those affecting ribosome processivity, translational fidelity and tRNA expression, impact neurodegeneration and neurophysiology, and the mechanisms underlying the cell type-specificity of mutations that disrupt translation elongation.

Saint Nicholas is coming: Welcome Black Pete!
December 5 is approaching fast, which means that small children in Holland and Flanders (the Dutch speaking part of Belgium) are getting nervous and excited.
Because December 5 is the annual feast day of 'Sinterklaas' or 'Saint Nicholas' (the precursor of Santa Claus), when the children who have been good and honest will get praise and presents from the holy man. For Saint Nicholas is the protector and savior of children, and besides this he is also the guardian of sailors and the patron saint of the city of Amsterdam. No wonder that he is an ageless and important symbol in Dutch culture!
And December 5 is also the day that Dutch adults give each other anonymous presents that are supposed to come from Saint Nicholas. These presents have to be accompanied by a poem that expresses love, gratitude or even mockery. You want to sens a message to the woman that you secretly love? Or make something clear to your annoying boss? December 5 is your chance, and anything goes as long as it is expressed in a poem and accompanied by a sweet present, like the traditional Saint Nicholas gift: a chocolate initial of her or his name.
But the past few years this friendly and innocent Dutch family feast of Saint Nicholas is turning sour, because the "Black Peters," the helpers of Saint Nicholas, are accused of being racist symbols and reminders of the time of slavery, slave trade and racial discrimination. Even the UN Human Rights Council has made "Black Peter" into an important issue and symbol, in its world wide efforts to eliminate racial differences and discrimination. But here the UN misses an important point and it ignores the earliest European history and its oldest traditions. For there is much more to Saint Nicholas and Black Pete than meets the eye, because both have a history that goes back for many centuries.
There is historical evidence that Christian feasts like Saint Nicholas, Christmas and Epiphany have arisen from pre-Christian Germanic and Nordic Midwinter Solstice rituals that were once celebrated all over central and northern Europe. A Christmas tree with decorations, candles and presents, is an ancient symbol that expresses the joy for the return of the light and the hope for a bountiful harvest in the coming year. The nativity scene was only added after the advent of Christianity in Europe. Just like Easter, which was originally a ritual to express gratitude for the renewed life and fertility in nature, but which was later also adapted to the Christian faith.
The mythological god Odin or Wodan played an important role in these pre-Christian Midwinter rituals, and much of this is still recognizable in Saint Nicholas, like his magic cape, cap and staff. And, especially, his horse that allows him to ride over the rooftops and fly from house to house to bring presents to the children.
However, Black Pete is equally fascinating, because he, too, is an ancient and mythological European Midwinter symbol. And besides Holland and Belgium, he is also popular in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other countries in central Europe. There are reasons to assume that Black Pete is in fact an adapted and domesticated continuation of the once fearsome 'beserkers', the helpers and protectors of the god Odin.
These "beserkers" not only existed in early European mythology, but also in real history as fearless and reckless Nordic warriors who wore bearskins and made themselves black to be more scary during daytime and to be invisible during the night.
And these functions of protector and servant are still visible in the Black Pete of today. And just like the mythological 'beserkers' a true Black Pete also acts a bit wild and crazy, because because he is the life and spirit of the feast. But he also has to watch for intruders and "disbelievers" who want to disrupt the party.
And to perform these tasks he is completely free to roam around among the festive crowds, making fun and doing acrobatics, while handing out small presents and sweets to the children. But at the same time also checking for misbehaving and unwanted persons.
Traditionally, Black Pete also had the task to catch naughty and disrespectful children and bring them to Saint Nicholas for a stern reprimand, which explains the double attitude of many children towards Black Pete. In their heart they know that he is their friend and protector, who secretly and invisibly enters their house to bring presents at night. But on the other hand he is a bit scary because he is black and extravagant and knows everything about you.
But in the end it is not Saint Nicholas himself, but always the good Black Pete, the friend and protector of children, the bringer of presents, but also he punisher of bad and evil, who is the most popular and most loved figure in European folk culture.
Let's hope that the lack of understanding of the UN Human Rights Council doesn't destroy that symbol, for in reality Black Pete belongs on the UN Cultural World Heritage List!
René van Slooten is a leading 'Poe researcher', who theorizes that Poe's final treatise, 'Eureka', a response to the philosophical and religious questions of his time, was a forerunner to Einstein's theory of relativity. He was born in 1944 in The Netherlands. He studied chemical engineering and science history and worked in the food industry in Europe, Africa and Asia.The past years he works in the production of bio-fuels from organic waste materials, especially in developing countries. His interest in Edgar Allan Poe's 'Eureka' started in 1982, when he found an antiquarian edition and read the scientific and philosophical ideas that were unheard of in 1848. He became a member of the international 'Edgar Allan Poe Studies Association' and his first article about 'Eureka' appeared in 1986 in a major Dutch magazine. Since then he published numerous articles, essays and letters on Poe and 'Eureka' in Dutch magazines and newspapers, but also in the international magazines 'Nature', 'NewScientist' and TIME. He published the first Dutch 'Eureka' translation (2003) and presented two papers on 'Eureka' at the international Poe conferences in Baltimore (2002) and Philadelphia (2010). His main interest in 'Eureka' is its history and acceptance in Europe and its influence on philosophy and science during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[Ed. Note - Dave] Thanks to KD for kicking this series off. I'm sure it will be fodder for much conversation. And the extent that KD went to on the answers, especially looking up a lot of that CBA crap, should be commended. Kudos KD. I jumped in with a couple of answers, but all credit goes to KD. [End Note]
We're kicking off the inaugural edition of Ask BTB, where we field questions from our members and site lurkers in the interest of keeping all of us better informed. I'm excited to bring this new series for several reasons. One, I love to give my opinions and two, I love the BTB community. You guys constantly challenge us to think outside the box and be unique in our coverage. I'll be pulling in our esteemed panel of experts whenever possible, and as this evolves I envision being able to provide you with panel discussions on some of the hotter topics. As this is the first edition, I will set some ground rules.
I know some readers are meat and potatoes only. By that I mean, you don't want anything but pure football news, straight-up and straight-forward. When we are covering news subjects and events, you will definitely get that, unequivocally. But here with Ask BTB (and with the community exercises as I'm sure you noted), I'm going to be taken a bit more lighthearted approach. Serious questions will get serious answers, obviously, but we will also keep the mood pretty upbeat.
I will try my best to respond to everyone's submitted question, even if it doesn't make it into the column. That might be a bit of a pipe dream, as I was highly impressed and surprised at the number of submissions we received after the announcement post. I shouldn't be shocked, as you guys love to talk football. Keep the questions coming as always, we appreciate all that YOU do for the BTB community.
Our first question comes from scotscowboysfan:
Hi KDP,
My questions are as follows,when does the (lockout) legal process begin? How does this affect our Cowboys going forward?
Follow the jump for the response and a few more questions.My man Davie! Thanks for being the first to submit a question.
As you may be aware, the legal process really begins April 6th, when the 8th US District Court will begin listening to the arguments from each side. There is talk that Judge David Doty will not hear the case, and currently that is correct. However, once April 6th hits, either side can try and relate their current case to a previous ruling, which the players are probably going to do. Once that is done, the case could go back to Doty's docket.
The crux of the argument is that the players feel that the NFL operates as a monopoly and restricts their rights to market their services to the highest bidder. The ruling could do anything from forcing the league to keep games scheduled under the uncapped year or back to the negotiation table. The court case could proceed while the games are being played, so a resolution to get the games back (what the fans want) could coincide with a ruling that changes the landscape of professional football moving forward.
The Cowboys are affected just like every other team. They are not allowed to have any interaction with the players. Fortunately, we've seen the reports that Dallas did a good job getting the defensive players familiar with the system of new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Tony Romo is completely healthy, and has said he will host workouts for players. The extent of which isn't known, and a comparison to the work other teams are putting in is a variable as well. The issue of when free agency can begin impacts all teams equally, as normal off season strategies go out the window if free agency won't start until after the draft. Where as teams would formally draft to plug holes not filled with veterans, the reverse will now be the protocol.
One important note. The last time that there was a work stoppage (1987), the team that was most renown for staying together during the stoppage and going all out? The Washington Redskins. They ended up winning the SuperBowl that year. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

In 1966, the Canadian-American Challenge Cup launched as one of the premiere racing series in North America. The wide-open FIA Group 7 rules allowed for almost anything, leading to some of the most powerful cars in racing history. This 1966 Lola T70 was purchased by Goodyear to be driven by the legendary A.J. Foyt in the inaugural Can-Am campaign. In 1967, the car was sold to driver Bob Bondurant, who then rented the car out to Universal Studios for use in Winning, starring Paul Newman. Now recently restored back to its original glory, this classic racer is ready to compete, being eligible for a variety of vintage racing events.

It investigates the war that took place in the Great Lakes region of the Congo 20 years ago, leading to over 6 million deaths. The work continues Milo Rau's research on Central Africa, which began with «Hate Radio», his 2011 exploration of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
The film screening was followed by a conversation led by playwright and researcher Eva-Maria Bertschy.
«GENERAL ASSEMBLY» lecture and conversation with playwright Eva-Maria Bertschy (Bern), Diogo Costa and Lucio Bellantani (São Paulo)
History, theatre and politics in debate with the International Institute of Political Murder, centred around «General Assembly» and themes such as democracy, representation in the contemporary world and the political and artistic conditions of global realism. Held in November 2017, «General Assembly» brought together delegates from 60 countries in a large meeting intended to create an arena for those whose voices are not bring heard – now constituting the third global estate – to draft the 21st Century Charter.

The Lion King Official Trailer
The king….has returned as Walt Disney Studios and director Jon Faverau release the new official trailer for their upcoming live-action film The Lion King. View trailer below.
The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion who is to succeed his father, Mufasa, as King of the Pride Lands; however, after Simba's uncle Scar (Mufasa's jealous younger brother), murders Mufasa, Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible and flees into exile. Upon maturation living with two wastrels, Simba is given some valuable perspective from his childhood friend, Nala, and his shaman, Rafiki, before returning to challenge Scar to end his tyranny and take his place in the Circle of Life as the rightful King.
Wow….definitely got goosebumps while watching that. As to expected, this new trailer showcases plenty of new footage from 2019's The Lion King, with our look at this movie version of Scar as well as a few other iconic moments from the Disney classic. There has been some debate on whether this movie will be good or will it just play upon the childhood nostalgia for those who grew up with the original 1994 animated film. Still, regardless of that notion, this live-action remake of The Lion King surely does look both amazing and promising at the same time. Can't wait to see it…..
The Lion King roars into theaters on July 19th, 2019

This Article Discusses About:
What is a Hip Pointer Injury?
The pelvic cavity lies below the lower abdomen. Pelvic cavity is covered by pelvic bone in front and side. The posterior part of pelvic cavity is covered by sacrum. Pelvic bone is form by ilium, ischium and pubis. The ilium is also known as hip bone. Hip bone is flat and forms lateral wall of pelvic cavity. The most prominent uppermost and anterior (front) bony prominence of hip bone is known as iliac crest. Several muscles including the abdominal muscles are attached to the iliac crest. The blunt or sharp trauma to iliac crest is known as hip pointer injury or iliac crest contusion. Thus, hip pointer injury or iliac crest contusion is a condition of bruise that occurs at the upper part of the hip. 1,2
Hip Pointer Injury also includes soft tissue trauma and results in moderate to severe pain.
Causes and Risk Factors for Hip Pointer or Iliac Crest Contusion
Hip Pointer or Iliac Crest Contusion is an injury that results from a direct impact to the hip bone (iliac crest) as well as greater trochanter. Greater trochanter is the bony protrusion of femur and lies on upper lateral side. Hip pointer is a common injury observed in athletes who are participating in contact sports like american football, rugby and wrestling. The direct impact of iliac crest cause by object travelling at high velocity can cause avulsion fracture of iliac crest that results in hip pointer injury. Such injury is observed in athletes participating in baseball, cricket as well as work accident. The avulsion fracture of iliac crest is a displaced fracture since fracture part of bone is pulled away by the connected muscle. This region is specifically at risk since iliac crest lies directly under the skin and not protected by adipose tissue (body fat). The trauma blunt or penetration by sharp object also causes soft tissue injury, bleeding and swelling of muscles and subcutaneous tissue.
Some of the causes of hip pointer injuries or Iliac crest injuries are:-
- Sport Injury
- Motor bike Injury
- Automobile Injury
- Work Injury
- Domestic fall
Signs and Symptoms of Hip Pointer Injury
- Pain- Patient experiences severe pain immediately following hip pointer injury. Pain is localized over the area of injury. Pain following hip pointer injury becomes continuous and increases in intensity with increase of activities.
- Bruising and Hematoma- Immediately following the accident the skin become purple and tender. The purple bruise slowly spreads in size, which suggest possible subcutaneous spread of bleeding. Later, in few hours if bleeding continues then blood clot forms that also enhances the pain and restricts movements.
- Swelling – Swelling is observed because of tissue edema and hematoma. Tissue edema is more predominant over side of iliac crest and gluteal muscles. Hematoma over iliac crest causes soft tissue swelling under the bruises.
- Tenderness- Palpation and examination of injured area elicits severe pain. Deep pressure causes prolonged severe pain. The condition is known as tenderness.
- Muscle Spasms– Muscle spasm is often seen within the surrounding muscles. Most of the muscle spasm is observed in gluteal muscles and anterior thigh muscles.
- Reduced Range of Motion- Pain and soft tissue swelling restricts the affected leg movement like flexion and rotation. Movement is also restricted because of separation of tendon that is attached to iliac crest.
Lab Studies-
Blood Examination- Complete blood count is performed to check blood hemoglobin, red blood cell count and white blood cells count. If the bleeding is profuse and hematoma is large the hemoglobin concentration and red blood cell count will be low suggesting patient is anemic and may need treatment to improve anemia. The white blood cell count is always normal and may change to higher level later if blood clot as well as inflamed injured muscle and bone gets infected. If white blood cell count is higher then patient is treated with antibiotics.
- X-Ray– X-ray examination is performed to rule out fracture of iliac crest.
- CT Scan– Like X-Ray, Ct scan will show presence of fracture of iliac crest. CT scan also shows internal spread of hematoma.
- Ultrasound examination- Ultrasound examination will show the depth and spread of hematoma and injuries. The blood clot and tissue swelling can be identified by ultrasound examination.
Treatment of Hip Pointer Injury
- Rest- Avoid all activities that aggravate the symptoms of hip pointer injury or iliac crest ijury.
- Cold Therapy for Pain- Cold therapy is beneficial if provided immediately after the hip pointer injury to prevent bleeding and spread of hematoma.
- NSAIDs– Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Celebrex and Naproxen are helpful to treat tissue inflammation and pain. The healing of the injury is faster when NSAIDs are taken during initial phase of injury. Avoid self medication. Take NSAIDS only if prescribed by physician.
- Corticosteroid injections- Corticosteroid injection is contraindicated if the wound is infected. Corticosteroid injection is helpful to treat inflammation, tissue swelling and assist rapid wound healing. Corticosteroid also reduces the pain.
- Sports massage– Massage therapy is indicated to reduce swelling, prevent scar tissue formation and loosen up the muscle fibers in hip pointer injury.
- Aspiration Of Blood Clot- If large blood clot is observed then clot size is reduced by aspiration of the liquid part of the clot. The decrease in size helps to reduce the pain.
- Surgical Treatment- Surgical treatment is necessary if hip pointer injury is associated with fracture of hip bone. The fragment of displaced fracture is realigned at original position and fixed to the hip bone by either passing nail or wire.
Best Hip Pointer Exercises
Exercise would accelerate healing of the contusion and also prevent muscle atrophy. Exercises recommended are non-weight bearing graded exercise or the graded exercise as described below. Graded exercises strengthen and stabilizes the muscles acting on the hip joint.4
Standing Hip Pointer Stretch Exercise
This hip pointer exercise is performed in standing position. Patient will stand in front of chair and rest normal leg over the chair. Next patient attempts to stretched affected leg by sliding the affected leg backward.
Wall Hip Pointer Stretch Exercise
This hip pointer exercise is performed by standing perpendicular to a wall by keeping the affected hip away from the wall. Place the hand of the healthy side on the wall. Stretch the upper body away from the wall, while hand firmly kept on the wall. Raised the injured leg and stretched forward maintaining unaffected leg firmly on the ground. Raised the injured leg about 6 to 12 inch from the ground and stretched it in front. The body is stretched to form a "C" shape curve. Relax the affected leg and rest it on ground.
Repeat the exercise and stretched the leg again in front of body holding foot 6 to 12 inch above the ground. Hold the position for at least 30 seconds and rest. Repeat the exercise 5 times daily.
Kneeling Hip Pointer Stretch Exercise
This exercise is performed by keeping the knee of the affected hip on the ground and healthy leg in the front side by keeping the foot flat on the ground. Tighten the muscles of stomach to flatten the lumbar spine and gradually move the upper body so as to support the weight of the body by the front foot. Keep on moving in forward direction until a pain-free stretch is felt in the hip and groin area. At the same time by reaching the head with the arm of an unaffected side smoothly pull the upper body away from the affected side. Hold the position for about 30 seconds.
Hip Pointer Recovery Time
Hip Pointer is not a career ending injury. The hip pointer injury or iliac crest injury may take several days or weeks to heal. The recovery is always complete and satisfactory. The non-fracture hip pointer injury heals in 4 to 6 weeks. Hip pointer injury associated with iliac crest fracture may take 6 to 12 weeks to heal completely. Displaced fracture may need surgical treatment and recovery then prolongs to 8 weeks or longer.

I was glad to hear one of the owners of Captain's Barbecue at Bing's Landing say that he's willing to go back to the drawing board regarding his plan for an expanded restaurant there. The county should take him up on it despite its vote last week, because the plans both Captain's and the county submitted to the county commission, such as they are, were half-baked at best: if Captain's were serving barbecue the same way, its patrons would end up in the emergency room. Fortunately for the commission, the only victim here is the character of a public park, which current plans would radically alter.
I have nothing against Captain's Barbecue or its presence at Bing's Landing. Restaurants have as much of a place in public parks as pavilions and visitors' centers, assuming they don't have a monopoly and their entry there is fairly and regularly put out to bid. Nor can Captain's be faulted for doing and taking what it can to make its profits: that's what businesses do. So to a large extent the criticism leveled at Captain's has been misplaced. It's the county's responsibility to ensure the stewardship of a park. The county is failing that responsibility.
Right now Captain's is a good fit. It's been successful. It wants to expand. But moving the restaurant to the middle of the park would lobotomize the architecture of the park, turning Bing's primarily into a restaurant (and bar) surrounded by greenery, as opposed to a park that happens to include a restaurant. The move would be done in complete disregard for balance and aesthetics that make a park what it is. It'd be like moving Tavern on the Green at the edge of Central Park smack into Sheep Meadow, ruining a centerpiece of the park. Sure the business is successful and attracts people. But by that logic so would an Outback or a Hard Rock Café. Thankfully we're not there.
But close. The expansion's indifference to the park's design is the issue. That's not what Flagler taxpayers had in mind when they spent $1 million in 1989 to buy Bing's with Environmentally Sensitive Lands dollars. If the deal is going to be more palatable to residents and park lovers, it should accommodate a less intrusive location, north or south, assuming the restaurant cannot be rebuilt in place–a still very much unproven assumption.
The other problem with this deal is its hollowness. County Administrator Craig Coffey insisted to me that there was nothing sinister about it, that it was discussed openly, with no intentions to hide anything. Maybe so, but only because there's been nothing to hide, in the sense that the county has produced no documentation backing up any of its claims or those of Captain's Barbecue. They both claim that the current restaurant building is falling apart, even though just a couple of years ago they supposedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars renovating it. If it's falling apart, prove it. Provide analysis and estimates by independent inspectors–not the county's own. Show where the problem is, what it would take to fix it, what it would cost, and why, with phased approaches being all the rage, no such phased approach could apply to the existing building. Until then, the claim that the building is no longer usable is bogus, especially since Captain's is willing to keep using it for as long as it takes to move into a new building. When the Titanic is sinking, you don't keep serving beef on its decks for a year until Harland and Wolff get you a new hull.
Captain's claims it will pay for the new building. That's great. But there are no plans, no cost estimates, no contractual arrangements, so even the vague claim that it'll be a $1 million investment is bogus until proven. That means we don't know what it would cost the county to build a new building, the county that just boasted spending just a few hundred thousand dollars to build three luxury cottages at Princess Place. Just this morning on WNZF Coffey acknowledged that "maybe it's not $1 million, maybe it's $750,000." Then maybe it's not $750,000, either. And maybe the county should pay for the reconstruction of its own assets instead of privatizing its capital responsibilities on an unproven, unvetted whim.
There was too much vital information commissioners should have asked for before approving an irresponsible 21-year lease with their eyes closed (or 28 years, when all extensions are counted–to 2046), with Captain's paying the insulting rent of $1,000 a month, no taxes, no impact fees, nothing for septic, nothing for parking. And no matter what revenue Captain's generates, it won't contribute a cent in profit sharing with the county, the way the Funky Pelican in Flagler Beach and any business on public land is expected to contribute to the government agency on whose subsidies it depends. Privately-run though it is, a business benefiting from public land and public subsidies owes its landlord, meaning us taxpayers, a full financial accounting: revenue, expenses, earnings, number of employees, what it pays them–so we're not left to take on faith the business' claims of being the next-best-thing since Henry Ford. Nor do we know what happens should Captain's somehow close shop before the lease runs out. What then? A hulking carcass of a building in the middle of what used to be a park.
Let's also not diminish the cravenness of the commission when it approved this deal, with ex-Commissioner Nate McLaughlin moaning about his "honor" and defending himself for taking contributions from Captain's owners, never disclosing that he'd listed one of those owners as his top reference in a job application with Bunnell government. It's one thing to take political contributions. It's entirely another when your next job may depend on the good word of the same guy angling for your vote. McLaughlin the supreme back-scratcher cast the swing vote, his last.
Again, not Captain's fault, but it's a dirty deal, it's the county's doing, and even though the lease was executed, all sides should go back to the drawing board and come up with something more respectful of the park, the taxpayers, and indeed of Captain's, whose reputation is taking a beating because of the county's incompetent deal-making. I'm all for not punishing Captain's for its success. But let's not barbecue Bing's Landing along the way.

An administrative law judge has recalled the suspension of Kenny Joseph Mire's driving privileges, finding that the arresting officer did not follow the instructions on the machine used to administer the breath test in connection with the Lafayette Parish School bus driver's OWI arrest. "Since the machine instructions were not complied with, the results of the test cannot be trusted as accurate," Administrative Law Judge Carey R. Holliday wrote in the Dec. 21 order.
The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections suspended Mire's license after he was arrested for off-duty OWI on Sept. 9 of last year. But after the test failed twice, the arresting officer did not wait the required 15 minutes to administer the test a third time; instead, Louisiana State Trooper Kellen J. Landry waited only four minutes. The results of the test showed Mire's blood alcohol level to be 0.174 grams percent, which would have put him over the legal limit. It's illegal in Louisiana to drive with a BAC of .08.
A few hours after he bonded out of jail, Mire got behind the wheel of a school bus and drove students to Acadiana High School and J. Wallace James Elementary School. That decision ignited a wave of furor among parents who were not notified of the arrest. But what was even more troubling to parents and the rest of this community is that the Lafayette Parish School Board had operated for decades without so much as a policy requiring its drivers arrested for on- or off-duty OWI — or any illegal drug charge, or any arrest for that matter — to notify the school system before returning to work, before driving or interacting with children. It has since enacted such a policy.
Mire, who has a long history of trouble with the law, has been fighting the OWI charge.
"There were many other reasons that could have been utilized in recalling the suspension," writes Mire's attorney, Barry Sallinger, in a brief statement faxed to The Independent Weekly. Sallinger, who lays out a compelling case in his position paper submitted to the judge, also notes that Mire was arrested for DWI at 10:24 p.m. but wasn't read his Miranda rights until 11:24 p.m., "one hour after the arrest, clearly a violation of my client's constitutional rights." Sallinger also states that the trooper questioned Mire without the benefit of Miranda warning and then used those answers, which the attorney claims are inadmissable in court, to decide to administer the standardized field sobriety tests.
Sallinger could not be reached for comment this morning to discuss the upcoming criminal process for the OWI arrest or what the administrative law judge's decision means for his client's future as a school bus driver.
Lafayette Parish Transportation Director Bill Samec also could not be reached.

Jesus felt that it would be so hard to persevere, that he might not be able to concentrate any more. That is why he had to get up to do something, to give an example shining into the night of fear.
Is this not what happens also to us today? Precisely in those moments where we carry a heavy burden, where we start to work hard just to forget, so that we do not have to think of the burden any more?
John 13, 4-5 says: Jesus got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him.
There was the unspoken question that everybody could sense, however: "Why do you do that?". And then the answer in verses 14-15: "So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example that you also should do as I have done to you."
Maybe Jesus is tired of the many words he has been using again and again to convey his message. Did Jesus need a simple deed to replace 1000 words, and he found it in washing the feet of his disciples?
It needs an example to show the disciples how they should live, how they are called to spread the message of Jesus into the world!
As we read in Matthew 28,19: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit! "
For this is the goal: to transform everybody into a disciple of Jesus. But not many people ask: who is a disciple, and how do you become a disciple of Jesus?
To put it quite simply: every human being becomes a disciple of Jesus through baptism. And with it, he receives the duty to carry Jesus' message into the world. By bearing witness to faith, by loving one's neighbour, by hospitality. The point is to proclaim the message by word and deed, as Jesus did. A disciple of Jesus is also a person who follows, and that means – aside from external following – to be subject to an authority.
Immediately, Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, 'Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.' Then Elijah said to him, 'Go but come back again; for what have I done to you?' (1 Kings 19,20)
It is accepting the message that makes me a disciple: "And you became imitators of us and of the Lord" (1 Thess 1,6)
The following text tells out how a disciple should live his life:
"Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness…" (2 Tim 3,10)
Even in this day, a child learns to find his place in the world from the parents' example. That is why the proverb says: "Like father, like son".

Architect's Certification of Payments to the Contractor
Arthur F. O'Leary
Posted: July 5, 2022 | Legal
No duty of an architect is subject to more scrutiny than the issuance of payment certificates. The owner, naturally, does not want to pay money prematurely or needlessly. The contractor, on the other hand, wants, needs, and is entitled to the money as soon as possible. Both owners and contractors are generally acutely aware of the interest value of money.
A second tier of concerned critics hover in the background protecting their interests in the payment. These include lenders, insurers, sureties, subcontractors, subsubcontractors, labor, material suppliers, and manufacturers. All of these entities are surrounded by their expert advisors including lawyers, accountants, architects, engineers, contractors, and numerous other business and construction authorities.
The architect must render this important service carefully, fairly, and timely. Mistakes, sloppiness, or informality in this part of the contract administration process are not readily acceptable to either owner or contractor. Very few mistakes or irregularities will ever slide by unnoticed or unmentioned.
The payment process is set out in the contract (A101 and A201), and the architect's administration of the procedure must be carried out in strict conformance with the contract. When either the owner or contractor request or suggest changes in the procedure, the architect does not have the power to grant or carry out any deviations. The only way the agreed process can be changed is for the owner and contractor to amend the contract. If this is done, it should be in writing and the architect must carry out the changed procedure in strict accordance with the newly agreed instructions.
Schedule of Values
The basis for calculating the owner's progress payments to the contractor is the schedule of values. This is an allocation of the total contract price among each of the segments of the work. It is prepared by the contractor and submitted for the architect's review and approval before the first payment. The contractor must be prepared to substantiate the allocations to whatever degree of accuracy is required by the architect. After it is approved by the architect, it becomes the basis for all the contractor's subsequent applications for payment. (A101, 5.1.4 and A201, 9.2.1)
Front-end Loading of the Schedule of Values. This is the fraudulent practice of overstating the values of the work that will be completed early in the construction process and lessening the values of the work to be done later in the sequence. This has the effect of overpaying the contractor at the beginning of the work, although it evens out by the end of the project. When this is cleverly done, it is very difficult for the architect or owner to detect. The owner should be advised to authorize consultation with a building cost consultant if there is any suspicion of misstated or distorted values. It would be improper for the architect to make unilateral adjustments in the schedule of values since the architect's role is limited to approving or disapproving. If the architect feels that the schedule of values is distorted, the contractor should be asked to produce substantiation for the questioned items. This could be in the form of executed subcontracts or purchase orders.
Applications for Payment
The contractor will submit an application for payment at whatever intervals (usually monthly) are set out in the contract. (A101-1997, Article 5 and A201, 9.3.1) No particular form is required, but AIA Document G702 is very handy for this purpose, as it also includes an Architect's Certificate for Payment. (See Sidebar) AIA Document G703 is a continuation sheet on which to enter the schedule of values, percentages of work completed, and the balance to finish.
The amount of the application will be the sum of the values of all work completed to date, less the agreed retainage, and less all previous payments. (A101, 5.1.6)
The contractor should complete the form and sign it in the presence of a notary public, if notarization is required by the owner. The contractor should also submit any data required by the owner or architect substantiating the contractor's right to payment. (A201, 9.3.1)
After receipt of the payment, the contractor is obligated to pay each subcontractor its proper proportion of the payment. (A201, 9.6.2) This provision may seem idealistic since the owner and architect will not really know how the contractor actually distributes the payment. However, if requested by a subcontractor, the architect is obligated to reveal the amounts that have been paid to the contractor for that subcontractor's work. (A201, 9.6.3) From there, it is up to each subcontractor to look out for its own interests. Some architects and owners require written lien releases from all subcontractors and suppliers whose work is included in the previously approved schedule of values.
Retainage (or retention) is a sum retained by the owner from each payment to the contractor. This is to provide some financial cushion to the owner in the event it is needed to correct the contractor's work or if the contractor defaults and the owner must find other contractors to finish the work of the contract. The retainage is later paid to the contractor after the final submissions have been accepted by the owner. (A201, 9.8.5 and 9.10.2)
The amount or percentage of retainage is not a fixed standard. It is a negotiated amount, usually a percentage of each payment, and is stated in the contract at A101, 5.1.6. Commonly it is ten percent, but can be more or less, anything the owner and contractor may agree to. In some contracts, the retainage is eliminated on the second half of the contract, provided that the work is satisfactory to that point and is not behind schedule. If the retainage is to be reduced or limited during the contract, the formula should be described in the contract at A101, 5.1.8.
When the schedule of values is distorted by front end loading, as described above, the effect will be to eliminate some or all of the owner's retainage protection in the early stages of the job.
If the contract is bonded, any change in the retainage must be consented to by the surety. This consent can be by use of AIA Document G707A, Consent of Surety to Reduction in or Partial Release of Retainage.
The Architect's Certificate
As with the contractor's application for payment, the architect's certificate does not have to be in any particular form. However, the certificate in AIA Document G702/703 contains all the necessary elements in concise language. (See Sidebar)
Concurrent Site Examination. The architect's certificate constitutes a representation to the owner that the work has progressed to the point indicated in the contractor's application, and that the work, to the architect's best knowledge, information, and belief, is in accordance with the contract documents. (A201, 9.4.2) This representation is realistic only if the architect has made a recent site examination, preferably soon after receiving the application.
Percentages of Completion. The value of each line item of completed work on G703 must stand alone. The architect cannot allow an overstated item to offset an understated item of work. Neither can the architect allow an item to be overstated on the date of the certificate on the contractor's promise that it will be up to that point by the time the certificate is paid. The architect can certify only those percentages of completion actually observed on the date of physical observation.
Change Orders and Construction Change Directives are usually added to the end of the schedule of values rather than added to each related line item in the approved schedule. The contractor can then be paid progressively as each of the changes progresses during construction.
Stored Materials - On-Site. The value of materials delivered and suitably stored at the site may be allowed unless the contract has been amended to the contrary. However, this places the burden on the architect to judge whether or not the material is suitably stored. Suitable storage must be judged on the basis that value is not likely to be lost on account of theft or deterioration by the elements. The owner's requirements for establishing title to the stored materials must be complied with. (A201, 9.3.2)
Stored Materials - Off-Site. The value of materials and equipment stored off-site or in fabricator's shops may be included in the certificate only if agreed in advance by the owner. If it is allowed, the owner's interests in regard to title must be protected. (A201, 9.3.2)
Advance Payments to Suppliers. Payments in advance to suppliers can be made only with the owner's prior approval. (A101, 5.1.9). The owner's concern would be in respect to title to the property and some acceptable guarantee that the materials or equipment would eventually be delivered.
Architect's Decision to Withhold Payment. If the architect cannot make the representations required in A201, 9.4.2, then the architect should withhold a certificate for payment to what ever extent is necessary to protect the owner's interests. The architect may also nullify the whole or part of previously approved certificates if necessary to protect the owner from losses for which the contractor is responsible. Examples of potential losses are given in A201, 9.5.1. In the event that the architect cannot certify the payment in full, the owner and contractor must be notified in writing with the reasons stated. (A201, 9.5.1)
Certificate Not an Acceptance of Work. Neither an architect's certificate nor an owner's occupancy of the work constitutes acceptance of work not in accordance with the contract documents. (A201, 9.6.6)
Architect's Records. The architect is required to keep a record of the contractor's applications for payment. (B141, 18.104.22.168) This is a new requirement in the 1997 edition of B141. It is not enough to merely sign the certificates and send them on to the owner for payment. The details of the required record are not specified. Presumably, it would be in writing or on computer, possibly in tabular form, with entries of all relevant dates and amounts. The record should include copies of all contractor's applications for payment and the architect's certificates for payment.
Owner's Progress Payments
Upon receipt of the architect's certificate, the owner is obligated to pay the certified sum to the contractor within the time limits set out in the contract. The owner should notify the architect when the payment is made. (A201, 9.6.1)
Failure of payment. If the architect fails to issue the certificate through no fault of the contractor, or if the owner fails to pay within the time specified, the contractor, after giving the notices required in the contract, is entitled to stop the work until payment has been received. Then, the contractor is entitled to a contract time extension, and to be paid the reasonable costs of shut-down, delay, and start-up, plus interest. (A201, 9.7.1) Interest on late payments is provided for in the contract. (A101, 7.2 and A201, 13.6)
Final Certificate
When the contractor submits the final application for payment, the architect should make a final inspection. When the architect is satisfied that the work is acceptable under the terms of the contract documents, and that the contract is fully performed, the architect should issue the final certificate. The certificate should contain certain language as required in A201, 9.10.1. Using the certificate on G702-1992 should suffice. The sum certified, however, will not come due until the contractor submits to the architect the documents listed and described in A201, 9.10.2, consisting of proofs that materials and labor have been paid for and that specified insurance is in effect. (B141, 126.96.36.199)
Normally, the architect's construction administration duties end at the certificate of final completion. (B141, 220.127.116.11)
Final Payment
The final payment constitutes a waiver of claims by the owner except those arising from unsettled liens and other claims arising out of the contract, failure of the work to comply with the contract documents, and terms of specified warranties. (A201, 9.10.4)
Acceptance of the final payment by the contractor constitutes a waiver of all claims except those that were previously made and that remain unresolved. (A201, 9.10.5)
Bonded Contract. When the contract is bonded, the contractor must obtain written consent of the surety for the final payment. (A201, 9.10.3) This may be submitted on AIA Document G707, Consent of Surety to Final Payment. If it is submitted on the surety company's own form or letter, it may be unacceptably conditional rather than in the unconditional language of the AIA form.
For the purpose of illustrating this article, it is assumed that the construction contract consists of the Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor (where the basis of payment is a Stipulated Sum), AIA Document A101-1997 along with the General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, AIA Document A201-1997. It is assumed that the architect's services are contracted for under the Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect, AIA Document B141-1997.
Various provisions of the AIA documents have been paraphrased and abridged for simplicity. The reader is advised to refer to the exact wording of the contract documents before taking any actions.
For additional information on architect's certificates for payment, see Chapter 13, Payment Certifications, in A Guide to Successful Construction - Effective Contract Administration, by Arthur F. O'Leary, FAIA, MRIAI.
The wording in the following two paragraphs is taken from:
Application and Certificate for Payment, AIA, Document G702-1992
Contractor's Application for Payment
The undersigned Contractor certifies that to the best of the Contractor's knowledge, information and belief the Work covered by this Application for Payment has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, that all amounts have been paid by the Contractor for Work for which previous Certificates for Payment were issued and payments received from the Owner, and that current payment shown herein is now due.
Architect's Certificate for Payment
In Accordance with the Contract Documents, based on on-site observations and the data comprising this application, the Architect certifies to the Owner that to the best of the Architect's knowledge, information and belief the Work has progressed as indicated, the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents, and the Contractor is entitled to payment of the AMOUNT CERTIFIED.

This Thai-inspired butternut squash curry is made with hearty chickpeas, kale, and crunchy peanuts. A delicious vegan dinner that and comes together in about 40 minutes!
All summer long I look forward to butternut squash! Yes, you can technically get butternut squash year round, but it's better in the fall. Plus it works so well in cozy fall dishes, like curry!
I especially love butternut squash in Thai curries. It makes a great substitute for the potato that you'll find in lots of Thai curries, and the mild sweetness goes really well with coconut milk.
Choosing Curry Paste
You could really use any flavor of Thai curry paste for this recipe, but I like it best with massaman. Massaman curry includes peanuts and has a slightly sweet flavor. If you can't find massaman, try red curry paste, or yellow for a milder curry.
Keep in mind that many brands of Thai curry paste are not vegan. Check the ingredients! I used Maesri curry paste to develop this recipe. You could also make your own, using my massaman or red curry paste recipe.
What You'll Need
- High-heat oil
- Onion
- Garlic
- Thai curry paste (preferably massaman, though red works well too!)
- Light coconut milk (the canned kind)
- Butternut squash
- Canned chickpeas
- Fresh kale
- Salt & pepper
- Chopped peanuts
- Fresh scallions
- Cooked rice
How to Make Butternut Squash Curry
Start by heating up some oil in a large pot. Once the oil is hot, add a diced onion. Cook the onion for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften up and become translucent.
Now add some garlic and Thai curry paste. Continue to cook everything for a minute or so.
Stir in a couple cans of light coconut milk and diced butternut squash. Bring the liquid up to a boil and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Fresh kale and chickpeas go in last. Tip: You might need to add the kale in batches, letting each batch wilt before adding another handful. Let everything simmer for about 5 minutes more, until the kale and squash are tender.
Remove your curry from heat and season it with salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking — add some hot sauce, a squeeze of lime, a dash of brown sugar — whatever you like!
Serve your curry over rice with some chopped peanuts and scallions.
Butternut Squash Curry Tips & FAQ
- Is this recipe gluten-free? Yes, as long as your curry paste is gluten-free (many are).
- Leftovers & storage: This curry will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for about 4 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.
- Can I use full-fat coconut milk? Absolutely! Although I don't think full-fat is necessary for this recipe, it will add to the richness of the dish.
- Can I substitute a different type of non-dairy milk for coconut? Technically yes, but I don't recommend it. Coconut is what gives Thai curry much of its distinctive flavor.
- Is this recipe spicy? A bit! Thai curry paste generally has a bit of a kick to it. I find Thai Kitchen red curry paste to be very mild, so use it if you're concerned about the heat.
- Feel free to switch things up and make this dish your own. Not into kale? Try a different veggie, adjusting for cook time as needed. Don't have chickpeas on hand? Try another type of bean, or some pan-fried tofu.
