General Forceps
Forceps are among the plethora of surgical instruments that surgeons require during operation. Forceps come in different shapes, sizes, and varieties; some with ratchets, serrations, grooves, teeth, and, coatings depending upon their intended use. Their main purpose is to grasp things (tubes, cotton, etc) or tissue during surgery. They are made from high carbon stainless steel and are sterilizable under ETO, Autoclave, and X-ray/ Gamma.
Forceps come in two basic shapes; those which employ a screw / box-joint mechanism to move the parts of the instrument (like a scissor), and those that resemble a tweezer (known as operating or tissue forceps).
TC Forceps
There are some forceps which are gold plated from the bottom because they have a special tungsten carbide (TC) tip in their mouths. The TC tips increase the durability, grip, and quality of the instrument and makes them more productive and valuable. To gold plate them at the bottom is just the industry standard for identifying TC instruments.
Electrosurgical Forceps
Then there are electrosurgical forceps which are active instruments (that is, electricity passes through them). These forceps have an insulation coating (normally blue in color) on all of their surface except the front and the back end through which electricity can be passed and received. The back end of the forceps is attached to an electrosurgical generator through a plug cable mechanism and the front end is left naked so electricity can come out during procedure. There are many different types of electrosurgical forceps like monopolar (diathermy), bipolar, irrigation and laparoscopic forceps.
Below are examples of some of the different types of forceps for your viewing pleasure.

Personal Biography:
I grew up in a small town in Eastern Poland. After graduating from University of Economics in Poland, a friend invited me to come to Big Sky, Montana. As traveling is one of my passions, I gladly accepted an invitation, which turned out to change the rest of my life. I fell in love with the mountains and people in Montana and made it my new home in 2005.
Spending time in the mountains and nature inspired me to change the course of professional life and pursue the study of Healing Arts. I soon discovered that healing is what I am truly passionate about.
I studied many healing modalities for the next several years, often combining it with my other passion, traveling around the world. I visited several countries on my healing quest, including Thailand and studying Thai massage, shamanic healing in Peru, yoga in Costa Rica and Ayurvedic medicine in Mexico.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time in the nature, walking with my best friend, golden doodle (Sophie), practicing yoga, preparing healthy meals, reading inspirational books and meditating.
My passion is helping others find peace & well being and develop a kinder and more loving relationship with their Body, Mind and Spirit.
I have gone through health challenges myself (bone cancer in my late 30-ties) and received so much love and healing through recovery, which only deepened my desire to give back and help others on their journey to health and wellness and help them trust that body can heal even in the most challenging circumstances.
I believe that we need to trust our own healing journey and there is no one right path that works for everybody. Everyone is different and unique, and also may require different healing modalities. My Soul knew I had to opt out of conventional cancer treatment and allow my body to heal with natural supplements and addressing healing on emotional, mental, spiritual and physical level. I trusted that that true healing comes from within and my body had ability to not only recover but to thrive again.

Although AMD is expected to launch its dual-GPU video card Radeon HD 7990 at Computex 2012 next month this fact alone does not stop its add-in board (AIB) partners from working on custom dual-GPU graphics cards that will be launched as Radeon HD 7970 X2.
The Radeon HD 7970 X2 cards will most likely be based on two 28 nm "Tahiti" GPUs that will be working at a high clock speed likely beyond 1 GHz, which may be even higher than the one found in the HD 7990. The reason behind the decision to work on the Radeon HD 7970 X2 model is the continued delay of the HD 7990 release with various AMD graphics cards makers not willing to wait for so long. Of course the main target of the Radeon HD 7970 X2 will be the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690.
The information is not officially confirmed so such a card may not be released ever but a dual-GPU seventh generation AMD Radeon HD card will surely hit the market later this year.

Actress and writer Carrie Fisher, who died earlier this week after suffering a cardiac event on a flight, was not only an entertainment icon, but also a prominent mental health advocate. Fisher was well known for being outspoken about her experiences with drug and alcohol addiction and bipolar disorder, which she was diagnosed with in her early twenties, and she frequently wrote about them in articles and her best-selling 2008 memoir Wishful Drinking (Simon & Schuster). Her voice countered the stigma surrounding psychiatric disorders and helped support others with similar struggles—sometimes directly.
In an advice column she wrote for The Guardian just last month Fisher offered guidance to a young adult with bipolar disorder. In it, she explains that she initially rejected the bipolar disorder diagnosis she received at the age of 24, only accepting it at age 28, "when I overdosed and finally got sober. Only then was I able to see nothing else could explain away my behavior." She emphasized the importance of connecting with others who have the disorder, adding, "We have been given a challenging illness, and there is no other option than to meet those challenges."
Some have conjectured that Fisher's earlier substance abuse and struggles with her weight may have contributed to her death, with medical doctors weighing in about the cardiovascular dangers of cocaine in particular. Though these hypotheses are speculative, one possibility that has been overlooked is the influence of her bipolar disorder, which has been linked in several studies to cardiovascular disease and mortality.
This association "has been confirmed in representative and population-wide studies and approximates a two-fold increased risk—that is, persons with bipolar disorder are about twice as likely to develop or die from cardiovascular disease than would otherwise be expected," says Jess Fiedorowicz, an associate professor of psychiatry, internal medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa, who published a study on this topic in 2009 in Psychosomatic Medicine. "Importantly, the onset of cardiovascular disease occurs very prematurely among people with bipolar disorder, up to 17 years earlier than in the general population," adds Benjamin Goldstein, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the University of Toronto, who published a related study in 2015 in Circulation.
The possible factors underlying the connection are numerous and often overlapping. "Negative lifestyle behaviors, including suboptimal nutrition, being sedentary, cigarette smoking, and excessive use of alcohol and substances are more common among people with bipolar disorder," says Goldstein. "The distress of the mood symptoms of mania and depression that define bipolar disorder, and the life stress that occurs as a consequence of symptoms, further adds to cardiovascular risk."
Additionally, individuals with bipolar disorder are less likely to be screened for cardiovascular disease risk factors. "Even when these risk factors are identified, they are less likely to be prescribed the appropriate treatments, and patients may be less likely to consistently adhere to them" when they are prescribed the right medications, notes Fiedorowicz. In addition, many of the medications used to treat bipolar disorder may cause adverse effects "such as weight gain, increases in triglycerides, diabetes mellitus and even sudden cardiac death due to arrhythmia," he says. Another potential influence is bipolar disorder's effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the autonomic nervous system, which are activated both by acute stress and by bipolar mood states.
The magnitude of the elevated heart disease risk in people with bipolar disorder, however, exceeds the effects of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting the possibility of shared causes between the two diseases. "For example, episodes of mania and depression have been linked with increased levels of inflammation, which in turn is known to increase the risk of heart disease," explains Goldstein. "There is also evidence of problems with the function and structure of blood vessels among people with bipolar disorder, and this occurs in the brain as well as the body." He and colleagues are currently exploring the role of tiny "microvessels" in these processes.
Future research should focus on exploring these and other possible mechanisms, as well as interventional studies regarding targeted cardiovascular risk reduction strategies that would "take into consideration barriers to optimal heart health that are unique to people with bipolar disorder," Goldstein says. On the treatment front, there is also a "need to disseminate the types of health care delivery models that can provide integrated psychiatric and other medical care to those with bipolar and related disorders," Fiedorowicz adds.
While Fisher fit the bill for at least several of these risk factors at different points in her life, there is no definitive way to know whether her bipolar disorder or addiction history contributed to her death. It is clear, though, that an invaluable advocate for mental health has been lost. In that November column in The Guardian, she told the advice-seeker, "Think of [your diagnosis] as an opportunity to be heroic… an emotional survival. An opportunity to be a good example to others who might share our disorder." She certainly accomplished that in her own life.

As we left Belluno it was overcast and cold. We crossed the Piave River at Belluno and started climbing uphill for the rest of the day! We had lunch at Nevegal Ski Resort which was on the trail. We then walked straight up the ski runs. Eventually the path dropped into a deep, dark forest. The heavy clouds hanging in the trees gave off an ethereal aura.
We wound our way around a beautiful, deep gorge. Bridges were built to navigate our way along the cliffs.
The last hour was an endless, very steep climb that ascended into the clouds.
By this time it was raining and the wind was fierce. We had no way of knowing where the refuge was. The GPS showed that we had arrived, but we could not find it and, as it turned out, had even passed it. On a whim, we walked up another path; and a building loomed out of the dense cloud. There were no lights and no sign of life. It looked as though the refuge was closed….a horrifying thought! I was beginning to think that we were going to have to huddle under the building and wait out the storm. However, I tried the door and it opened, we then went through another door and to our amazement there were people, food and warmth inside!! The place was a little rough (kind of dirty, cold rooms, no shower), but the non English speaking hut master was very pleasant and helpful. It was obvious that we were unexpected. We had to hang our wet clothing in the host's room as our rooms had no heat. Our host, Alberto, told us that on a clear day there were views of Venice in the distance. We did have a very welcome, delicious dinner before adjourning into our very cold room for the night.

One of the newest 5-star hotel openings in Singapore is the JW Marriott South Beach, and we had the opportunity to spend two nights here in October to review their Premier Room, and on the second night a Premier Suite, and to check out the hotel and surrounding area.
This is only the second Marriott-branded hotel in Singapore, the longstanding Marriott Tang Plaza, occupying the pagoda-shaped tower above TANGS department store on Orchard Road since 1982, will be recognised by many.
An interesting aspect about this new hotel is that it was not originally managed by Marriott. The design was by Phillipe Starck (a first for a Singapore hotel) and on opening the property was managed by South Beach Consortium, branded as The South Beach Hotel. Effectively the giant 634-room hotel was operated independently, with no major chain affiliation.
It was an ambitious gamble in the cut-throat, fast-consolidating and very much chain-driven hotel industry, however, and after nine months going it alone they announced that the company sought alternative management "to maximise returns on the property". This is when Marriott International became involved, taking over the management and branding the hotel in their JW Marriott category. It didn't come cheap – Marriott spent $20 million rebranding the hotel into their corporate style before it was re-opened in December 2016.
The hotel is located in a complex called "South Beach", next to Beach Road (home to the famous Raffles Hotel). Don't be misled by the road name or the title though – there is actually no beach here – the name originates from a time long before significant land reclamation, when Raffles Hotel did indeed have a beachside location!
If a beach location is what you're after then a hotel in Sentosa is likely to be more suitable as be in no doubt – this is definitely a city hotel.
Transport links
The South Beach complex has a large basement car park, with direct lift access to the hotel lobby. Parking is free for all hotel guests, which is a nice perk, and for those who prefer to valet park this service is available for $15 per day which is reasonable.
MRT access is excellent. Esplanade station on the Circle Line is directly below the hotel. City Hall MRT is also adjacent to the property, a short walk across the road or via an air-conditioned underground shopping precinct which links Esplanade MRT and City Hall MRT stations. From there you can also access the East-West and North-South MRT lines.
Close to the hotel, you will find many attractions, Raffles Hotel (currently undergoing refurbishment for a grand reopening in mid-2018), the Singapore Flyer, Singapore National Gallery, Raffles City shopping mall and CHIJMES with its array of bars and restaurants, to name a few.
Check-in experience
We checked in using Marriott's new iOS app. You receive a notification on the morning you are due to arrive asking you to check-in. The app asks for your estimated arrival time and they then try to have the room ready in time for your arrival. The great thing is that you get a notification as soon as your room is ready. For example, we told them we would arrive at 2pm (1 hour before official check-in) and we received a notification at about 11:57am saying the room was already available! Impressive.
Premier Room: First impressions
This room is one step up from the hotel's basic Deluxe Room. It's reasonably sized with a functional layout. Many premier rooms are located on the corners of the hotel like the one we had, and so offer panoramic views. Clever use of mirrors makes the room feel bright and spacious.
Premier Room: In detail
Small touches make all the difference here – international power sockets, bed-side USB ports, electrically controlled blinds and curtains which provide a good 'black-out' experience. A decent sized desk and comfy chaise longue make this room a good choice for the business traveller. The only thing we were surprised was missing – a bathtub!
Premier Suite: First impressions
"Wow" – as you walk through the door, the stunning city views from the floor to ceiling windows are breath-taking. This is a big suite!
Premier Suite: In detail
There is a small guest bathroom off the hallway, a large living room with sofas, a desk, bar area, reading nooks etc. The bedroom is nearly the same size again with ample wardrobe space and stunning corner views. The master bathroom features two sinks, a large bathtub and separate shower.
Facilities (pool, gym, spa)
The hotel features two pools. The main pool is on the 18th floor, accompanied by a pool bar "Flow18″. The pool itself has a rather strange design, occupying a double-height open void space between floors. The views are beautiful but as it's completely covered we found the water too cold. Considering the size of the hotel the pool is also quite small – think more of a dip than laps.
The bar was good and reasonably priced. You can also walk around the whole edge of the hotel on this level, with spectacular views of the city and plenty of comfortable seating.
The other pool is located on the 6th story of the adjacent tower, connected by bridge link to the main hotel. It's bigger, sunnier and quieter. A good choice to avoid the crowds! The Spa is also located in this adjacent building. There are still good views of the downtown area and Marina Bay Sands.
The gym, on the 18th floor, is a very good size with plenty of exercise machines and an extensive selection of free-weights and other equipment.
Executive club lounge
If you are staying in a Club Deluxe or Club Premier room (which are identical to the rooms mentioned above, but you are paying extra for the "club" access), or any of the suites, you get access to the executive club lounge on level 2. They serve breakfast, afternoon tea, canapés and cocktails – all are complimentary. We liked this lounge a lot. Shame it's not on a high floor – as it's missing a view.
Still, it's well sized and the food choices were plentiful. Afternoon tea is sandwiches, cakes, tea and coffee. For canapés – a selection of bread, cheese, cold meats and fish with a small selection of hot bites. The "cocktails" were limited to two choices each evening e.g. Singapore Sling and Screwdriver. There was also wine and beer on offer – the prosecco was above average, 2 reds and 2 whites were also of a good standard.
Being a Marriott Gold Elite member (or above) gets you access to this lounge for free even when not staying in a "club" room or suite. You can bring in one guest for free. If you need to bring an additional guest they will charge $80++ which, whilst it's a nice lounge, isn't worth it – take them to another bar instead!
Bars & Restaurants
The hotel has 2 restaurants and 3 bars – not to mention being just a stone's throw away from many more options in the South Beach development.
Breakfast is served in Beach Road Kitchen – we went on a busy Sunday morning and were asked to wait 10 minutes to be seated, and then found the buffet understaffed and in need of replenishment. Avoid paying for this unless it's included in your rate. If you have access – head to the executive lounge instead.
Akira Back is a high-end Japanese restaurant that gets good reviews.
Tonic, a bar specialising in Gin and Court Marshall Bar, a cocktail bar – are both very good. The Media Bar is a relaxed pub-style outlet that serves bar snacks.
Room service
We ordered our perennial favourite – The Club Sandwich. It came with fries or a salad. It is actually two sandwiches – a very generous portion. Good quality and represents good value for money at S$28. We also ordered a bottle of wine the following evening – expensive as expected but they offer a good range and it arrived quickly.
Service recovery
In our first room, we discovered some rotting fruit at the back of the mini-bar. We called up and they promised to have it cleaned whilst we were out. We arrived back 2 hours later to find it still there. We called again and someone was dispatched immediately. They apologised profusely and gave us an iPad cover and photo frame by way of compensation. A good effort but a more speedy initial response would have been better.
Side note: Marriott Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest
Many of our readers will already be aware that in September 2016, Marriott concluded a US$13 million acquisition of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, a major hotel chain whose brands include Sheraton, Westin, W Hotels and Le Meridien. It has resulted in Marriott becoming the single largest hotel chain in the world.
One of the big benefits for customers is that the loyalty schemes for the two brands (Marriott Rewards and SPG) are still run separately, for the time being. It means that the SPG program is now effectively a Marriott loyalty scheme as well.
Why is this important? Well, if you hold Gold status in SPG, which lots of people do as it's relatively easy to attain, you can also hold Gold Elite status in Marriott (which is much harder to get, and has better benefits). All you have to do is link your accounts. The same applies to Marriott Rewards members who can be status-matched in SPG by linking. If you haven't done it yet – do it now. You can also link your Ritz-Carlton Rewards account, if you have one.
Once the accounts are linked, members from either scheme can transfer points between them at any time. SPG (Starpoints) transfer to Marriott Rewards points at a 1:3 ratio, and vice-versa.
So if you have a lot of Starpoints, but little or no Marriott Rewards points, you can still secure a few free nights in a hotel like this one, simply by transferring the points once you have linked the accounts.
The JW Marriott Singapore South Beach is a Category 8 Marriott Rewards property, so it'll cost you at least 40,000 Marriott Rewards points per night for a room here using points. For those rich in Starpoints, it's 13,333 points per night, once they are transferred to Marriott.
Alternatively, if you're already SPG Gold, having connected your accounts and matched to Marriott Rewards Gold Elite you can enjoy a cash stay at a hotel like this and take advantage of all the benefits Marriott dish out to their Gold Elite members, which are quite generous (25% points bonus, free breakfast, lounge access, room upgrade if available, guaranteed 4pm check out).
Room tip
Go with the Premier Room over the standard Deluxe Room for more usable space, we think it is worth the extra money. All the suites are excellent if you are prepared to splash some cash. Don't bother paying too much extra for "club" access – work on getting yourself "Gold Elite Status", and while Marriott Rewards and SPG still operate separately, it's easier to achieve that through SPG Gold then status-link your accounts, than it is directly with Marriott.
The JW Marriott Singapore South Beach is a very strong offering from the Marriott brand. Thoughtfully designed, with well-trained friendly staff and a modern, efficient interior. The location is excellent, and even if it doesn't look like the right part of town for you it's very well connected on the MRT with three major lines at the doorstep.
We would recommend this hotel for either business or leisure travellers and would be happy to return.
Example rates for a weekend stay in early December 2017:
- Deluxe Rooms from S$283 per night (non-refundable rate)
- Premier Rooms from S$315 per night (non-refundable rate)
- Deluxe Suites from S$530 per night
- Premier Suites from S$560 per night

While doing a routine skywatch in my backyard last week I captured one of the biggest and brightest glowing balls of light on record. For those who don't know I have been taping these since June 6th, 2004. So many on tape I lost count but a few stick out in my memory that make me say, "Holy Moly."
This glowing ball of light silently glided across the sky getting brighter as it approached. I have learned through many hours of video analysis and hundreds of hours skywatching that the bigger the object or the brighter the object is depends on how high they are. Believe me when I tell you that this was twice the size of Venus on it's brightest day.
You can see the glowing object pass by the stars showing speed, size & brightness. It came from the Southwest and flew directly above my head. If I looked away I could still see it out of the corner of my eye it was that bright.
I know there are some folks out there who think these are satellites or even planes but they are not. How can a satellite look that big and where are the other lights on the airplane? It's just a ball of light resembling the famous Phoenix Lights sightings.
If anyone has any proof of what these moving balls of lights are please email me - firstname.lastname@example.com

Into The Loving Arms Of Jesus
3-year-old Reginald was your typical precocious little boy. But when his curious nature caused him to fall two stories, it could have ended in disaster. But instead, divine intervention saved this boy in the most amazing way!
Credit: Facebook
Reginald's mom, Dionna, was getting the boy ready for a bath in their second floor apartment home. She left the bathroom for a minute to go and fetch the boy's pajamas. But when she returned, she made a terrifying discovery. The boy was gone and the window pane was missing!
The horrified mom raced out of the apartment and down the stairs. As she ripped opened the door, there was her young son, naked and limping back inside. Though he was crying and shaken up, astonishingly he was relatively unharmed!
And that's because something very special broke the boy's fall -- a framed painting of Jesus and his disciples at the last supper that belonged to the boy's grandmother!
Credit: Dionna Praylow via NBC Philadelphia
The family had no idea why the painting was outside, but it was clearly right where it needed to be.
Reginald was taken to the hospital after the incident, where doctors verified he was just fine. Because the accident involved a young child, the police did come out and investigate. They say it appears as though the boy leaned on the windowsill and then accidentally pushed out the plexiglass window, leading to his fall.
As for the family, they are thankful for the divine intervention that took place and have since moved the painting into their living room as a precious reminder of the miracle that saved little Reginald.
9-Year-Old wakes up cured after a 30-feet fall!!!

Steve Kerr's situation has been the talk of the basketball and orthopedic world. How much do we really know? What can we learn from his situation?
Known: He Had Back Surgery for a "Ruptured Disk"
This doesn't really tell us much though. There are as many potential sources for pain as there are structures in the back, and one thing that we know from science, is that in cases of BACK PAIN it's very difficult to nail down any specific anatomical cause. Most everyone by his age (he was 49 at the time) will have multiple abnormalities on a spinal MRI, not to mention an MRI done of anything else on a 49 year old.
Unknown: Why Did He Have Back Surgery in the First Place?
It has been assumed that he had surgery for BACK PAIN, however, there are other areas of pain related to the back that can be appropriate for surgery. You'll see why I put that in all caps later.
The most appropriate cause for back surgery is SCIATICA, which is pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the lower extremity (leg and/or thigh, in medical terms) due to compression or adhesion of one of the nerve roots, in or around the lateral foramen – a hole of sorts that the spinal nerve root has to pass through in order to get from the spine to the extremities.
A common cause for compression in this area can be a herniated, or ruptured disk, but it can also be due to compression of the disk (degeneration) making the foramen smaller, and worsened with ligament thickening and osteophytes (commonly called "bone spurs") around the foramen.
Unknown: What Kind of Surgery Did He Have in the First Place?
The least complicated surgery, and one that has stood the test of time after about a century of use, believe it or not, is called a laminectomy. In this surgery, the area that the nerve root has to pass through is widened by cutting out a bony window. This is not a complicated surgery, recovery is relatively quick, it's relatively non-invasive, but sometimes a more aggressive surgery has to be performed later, if it doesn't resolve the problem.
A more complicated option is the microdiskectomy. In this procedure (performed with or without a laminectomy) a portion of the disk that is ruptured or extruded (sticking out) is removed. Disk material is gently removed until only viable (mostly undamaged) disk tissue remains. This surgery has a relatively quick recovery, and many of these are done in ways that are considered to be "minimally invasive" but that can also sometimes mean that the surgeon cannot see as well as he or she could, were the surgical site larger. About 5% of microdiskectomies fail, and the disk reherniates as a result, leading to another similar surgery, or a more complex and invasive surgery.
The next more complicated option would normally be some kind of spinal fusion, or in some situations, a disk replacement. A spinal fusion (there are several different times) fuses two or more vertebrae together, after enlarging the foramen. This surgery stops motion at the segment, and over time, causes faster wear and tear of the segments around it. This is also the go-to solution in cases of significant spondylolisthesis – where the back segment has become so degenerated that it is unstable, and sliding forward and back with movement.
Known: Why Did He Have Another Surgery?
During or just after his first surgery, he experienced a tear in the dural sac, which holds the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spine. CSF pressure is pretty well-controlled normally, and a leak can cause headaches, nausea, neck stiffness, and a range of other symptoms. These can occur during the surgery and be immediately fixed, or can be missed during surgery and leak afterward, or can be the result of a sharp piece of bone rubbing across the dura and tearing it after the surgery.
As with the first surgery, no details were given as to the cause or the surgical intervention.
Unknown: Why Is He Still Having Problems?
Depending on the interview I read this evening, he either does not complain about any residual back pain, or plainly states that his back feels fine. His only symptoms are related (it is thought) to CSF leakage. However, problems this long after surgery are rare, and can sometimes result in a pain syndrome – where the initial cause of the headache is no longer present, but the pain continues for other reasons.
He has tried many things over the past two years to resolve his current pain, including medicinal marijuana, physical therapy (unspecified interventions), yoga, and meditation.
Unknown: Should He Have Had Surgery? Should You?
As with most athletes and public figures, details of his situation are not clear. It was said that he had difficulty walking even 30 feet due to pain, but I have never read specifically what pain (back pain or sciatica, or something else) he was having, that lead him to surgery. It is also not clear what other treatments he may or may not have tried before surgery. Based on his publicly expressed sentiments about avoiding back surgery at all costs, and never mentioning sciatica or physical therapy, I'm going to guess that he might have seen surgery as a way of "fixing a problem" quickly and easily, to get him back to his regular activities. Of course, it could also be true that he had a seriously unstable spondylolisthesis (see below), and the only viable option was surgery, and he is simply playing "what if?" in his head regarding the whole situation.
Generally Speaking: Surgery is not a good option for BACK PAIN unless there is a relatively large instability related to spondylolisthesis. While segmental instability is implicated as a source of low back pain, this is not the same thing. It should be noted that much research has been done into what some call "simple back ache" and there are many forms of physical therapy (the exact interventions are based on problems observed during the examination) proven to be quite effective. Surgery has not proven to be helpful. Neither have corticosteroid injections, for that matter.
Generally Speaking: Surgery is a good option of last resort for sciatica that has not responded to therapy and corticosteroid injections. Physical therapy never killed or paralyzed anyone, but surgery can be complicated and is permanent. Surgery should be considered earlier if weakness is getting worse, numbness and tingling is present in the "saddle area" or if troubles creep up regarding urination or defecation. In some cases, surgery must be performed quickly, in order to avoid dire consequences down the road.

A morning should always be good; but when it starts with a headache or fatigue you tend to say what is so good about this morning. It not only kills our morale to get up from the bed but also makes us less productive at work. Long time fatigue or in medical terms Tired All The Time Syndrome (TATTS) is a matter of concern and should be fixed as early as possible. To find a cure for the ever feeling tiredness let us try to find out its causes.
Sleep Deprivation: we all need a relaxed 7-8 hours of sleep in all to alleviate the day's tiredness. A disrupted sleep can be the most common cause of tiredness. Try making a regular schedule of sleeping and waking to prevent this. Sleep disorders and sleep apnoea (a respiratory disease which leads to temporary pauses in breathing during sleep and thus disturbs sleep) are also one of the causes of inadequate sleep. Consult a doctor if you are not able to doze off despite several attempts.
Dehydration: How tired we feel after a walk in the sun or after a bout of diarrhoea or vomiting. Draining out of water from our bodies is one of the most common causes of tiredness. Keep a check of your water intake and do not forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water in a day.
Low calorie intake: intake of inadequate calories can also lead to fatigue. Our entire body mechanism is based on availability of energy. Our brain needs continuous supply of glucose and oxygen. We all yawn not only when we feel sleepy but also when our brain is trying to gather oxygen from our environment. A low calorie intake makes us physically as well as mentally tired. Include adequate calories according to your body's requirements to alleviate tiredness.
Hidden diseases: Few diseases are symptomless or have no obvious symptoms; but they lead to chronic tiredness. Hypothyroidism (poor activity of thyroid gland), Diabetes, Anaemia, Urinary Tract Infection, Depression, various Cancers are few of such diseases. Do not ignore chronic tiredness and consult a doctor to rule out any of these above mentioned diseases.
Deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals: Our body's cells rely on vitamins and minerals to generate energy from the food we eat. A high percentage of adults in our country eat less than the minimum daily allowance of many essential vitamins and minerals. Nutrient deficiencies cause fatigue as they impair cellular energy production which may result in excessive tiredness and lack of energy along with many other symptoms. Following are the most important nutrients related to fatigue:
- B Vitamins: B Vitamins are necessary for converting food into energy. If you are lacking in B vitamins, either because your needs are increased or you are not taking in sufficient amounts, the ability of your cells to generate energy will be compromised.
- Magnesium: Another mineral required by our body to generate energy from the foods we eat.
- Iron and other haemopoietic (blood forming) nutrients: iron, folic acid, vitamin B12,zinc and vitamin C are few of the vitamins and minerals which help in formation and maturation of various blood cells at various points of their life cycle. Deficiency of any of these nutrients can result in anaemia (less number or poor quality of blood cells). Anaemia compromises the body's ability to carry oxygen which causes fatigue and breathlessness.
A deficiency of any of the above mentioned nutrients can be deciphered by practitioners by either testing or physical examination and necessary diet or supplements can be administered to cover the deficiency.
A tired you is just not acceptable neither for you nor for your work or your family. If you feel the never ending tiredness attached with you all the time try to find the cause and live life to its fullest.

Charlie Sheen on Why He's a Twitter Quitter
Actor Charlie Sheen recently quit Twitter, leaving his nearly eight million followers wondering why he suddenly departed.
"Extra's" Jerry Penacoli was on the "Machete Kills" set in Texas and talked with Sheen, who explained, "I felt like it was connected to the whole past movement, the 'winning movement, tiger balm movement.' I still like winning; it still applies. Now it makes sense cause I'm finally winning."
Charlie also said he was really impressed with how his Twitter account had developed into a new bartering tool. "I know there's great value in there to reach out to a lot of people to promote stuff. It got to the point where I couldn't go anywhere with out them wanting to cut a deal."
Asked if he would ever return to the popular social media outlet, the "Anger Management" star admitted, "The founders never called me once to say 'Hey, thanks for really securing us on the map.' Not a single phone call and I felt like 'Really guys?' I didn't make a dime off the whole thing and they got rich on that." Sheen added, "I may come back @charlie$heen, with the 's' as a '$,' and all endorsements, just like Kardashianville… the hell with everyone."

Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are black ¾ of an inch long and are considered a wood-destroying insect. Signs of infestation are sound of crunching noises in walls or sawdust like material below window frames or on floors or near water sources.
If you notice these signs in your home it is definitely cause for concern.
Carpenter ant nests have been known to completely destroy structural beams, floors and window frames. This may cause a dwelling to be weakened. There is also a possibility of satellite colonies around your home, which means there can be more than 1 colony.
The only way to locate and destroy the colony is to contact a qualified pest control technician who is trained specifically for carpenter ants. If you are unsure that what you see is a carpenter ant problem please call Canadian Shield Pest Control and we will send a technician to your home for an inspection. We offer carpenter ant extermination options for Peterborough, Oshawa and the entire Kawartha Lakes and Durham regions.
For more information on Ants please read over our Carpenter Ants Fact Sheet.

Say hello to our latest team member Adam Rowlinson aka Binners:
"Hi I'm Adam Rowlinson also known as Binners, living proof that you don't have to be particularly quick to be a member of Team JMC, I hold the unique distinction of having both won, and finished last, at Hit the North at the same event. A proud achievement!
I started riding as a kid. I used to do a lot of road cycling, touring the Youth Hostels of the Lakes and North Wales. I also used to race BMX. Badly.
Then like most people I discovered beer, pies, motorbikes, more beer, more pies… you get the picture.
So…. noticing that I was looking far too 'contented', I bought myself a mountain bike. Then I discovered night riding. And that was what really rekindled my love affair with bikes. I've never looked back. Well… I never need too. There's never anyone behind me. I just love being out and about on two wheels, in the hills and exploring new trails. I've even been messing about on BMX's again. Strongly recommended.
As well as riding, I also seem to have carved out a bit of a niche documenting the Monday Night Pub Rides through weekly illustrations, and drawing bike-related stuff generally. Somewhat bizarrely, this has now led to a change of career. Bikes? You've got to love 'em!"
We are always happy to welcome new team members and everyone is welcome no matter what level of ability. Our motto is "Talent Optional, Enthusiasm Essential". We keep it simple with no fees or forms. All we ask is you wear some of our team clothing to show your colours. In return we can offer support, advice and, coming soon, our very own events.
Want to know more? Visit our website or drop us a line. We would love to hear from you.

Ariel Sacks of On the Shoulders of Giants is having trouble with the "digital divide" between students who have internet at home and those who don't. She and the special ed teacher in her classroom took a lot of time to record themselves reading Nancy Farmer's The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm to help students struggling with the reading. Then they posted the MP3 of themselves on Multiply.com, a social networking site. The problem was many students couldn't participate because 1) they don't have internet access at home and 2) the site was inaccessible from the school due to filtering.
Sacks doesn't see this as a huge impediment just yet. Her kids will just have to read their assignments the old fashioned way. But she thinks the problem will grow as time goes on.
This divide is going to become more and more painful. I'd like to see the government step in and make internet free for parents who send their children to public schools, and provide a laptop—or an easy, affordable pathway to getting one—for all public school students. Once this is the case, schools need to get with the times and create safe and attractive networking programs for teachers and classes to use.

text: Hello everyone! We are almost at our fundraising target! Thank you so much for all your support. Some of our partnerships for Stitch Academy are taking a bit longer to sort out and get in place over the summer holidays, so to help us get over the line we've extended our fundraising deadline until the 27th August. We're in the process of securing some sponsorship for our bursary studios and we are waiting for a few important business people to get back to work, and sign off on their Stitch Academy pledges! So whilst we crack the whip and harangue their colleagues, our fundraising efforts are still in full flow until the 27th! Looking forward to updating you all with more info soon. In the meantime anyone who you feel might like to be involved in Stitch Academy, ask them to get in touch! Very best wishes, George and Team

Independence Day: Resurgence Teaser Trailer
The aliens have returned in the teaser trailer for the ID4 sequel Independence Day: Resurgence. View trailer below.
We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens' advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.
I remember seeing the first Independence Day movie when it came back in 1996. Scared the living crap out of me, but (as I grew older) I began to appreciate the movie as a good science fiction movie. I also remember hearing all the talks of doing a sequel for many years, but nothing came to fruition….until now. There's a lot of questions to this movie, but, to me, the biggest question is…where is Will Smith's character. All I know he declined the reprise his role in this sequel. Will just have to wait and see how this movie shapes up to be. Hopefully, it will be good as the first one….Hopefully.
The invasion begins again when Independence Day: Resurgence arrives in theaters next year on June 24, 2016

More than half the medical-marijuana patients in a new study said they use cannabis to help them get off heavier prescription drugs, with the largest percentage saying pot acts as a substitute painkiller for opioids.
The new research, published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Drug Policy but funded by a licensed cannabis grower Tilray, adds to a small body of science that suggests patients are effectively using marijuana to replace opioids, a class of legal and illicit painkillers that has led to an ongoing crisis that killed hundreds of Canadians last year.
The study of 271 Tilray patients found 53 per cent were using the drug for pain, with the next most common reason being the treatment of mental-health issues, such as eating disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder, at 15 per cent. Of those who claimed they had dropped pharmaceutical drugs for cannabis, 32 per cent switched from opioids; 16 per cent from benzodiazepines and 12 per cent from anti-depressants.
Globe Investigation: What's in your weed? We tested dispensary marijuana to find out
Globe Investigation: Marijuana edibles tests reveal misleading claims
Co-author Zach Walsh, a clinical psychologist and cannabis researcher at the University of British Columbia, said the new paper proves further studies are needed to investigate how well cannabis stacks up against opioids in reducing pain.
"It doesn't surprise me, given our increasing recognition of some of the problems with opioids," Dr. Walsh said of the results from the 107-question online survey that was conducted last summer. "Now the truth is coming out and people are looking for other alternatives."
The majority of patients who said they had replaced opioids or tranquillizers said the main reason for their switch was because cannabis had less problematic side effects, Dr. Walsh said.
Philippe Lucas, head of patient services at Nanaimo-based grower Tilray, was co-author of the study.
Last November, Dr. Walsh and a team of five other researchers from the University of British Columbia and two American institutions reviewed all studies involving mental health and marijuana published since 1960, and found a pronounced link between opioids and cannabis.
Last year, The Globe and Mail found fewer Canadian veterans have sought prescription opioids and tranquillizers in recent years, while at the same time, prescriptions for medical marijuana have skyrocketed.
It is not clear whether the two are related, but the trend echoes what researchers have found in U.S. states with medical-marijuana laws, where significant declines in opioid overdoses suggest that people may be substituting these oft-abused medicines with cannabis.
A handful of licensed growers have funded trials to make a stronger case for using cannabis to treat a variety of ailments, but Canada's medical establishment is weary to endorse the drug because of the dearth of clinical evidence.
Arthur Caplan, a world-renowned medical ethicist, said research funded by drug companies has sometimes been influenced by these sponsors, which often don't publish negative results.
But, the fact that the new study was peer reviewed somewhat balances off any potential conflict of interest on the part of Tilray, which has a financial stake in the topic, he added.
"I would still like to see more studies by independent investigators," said Mr. Caplan, head of medical ethics at New York University's school of medicine.
"Still, bottom line, better something [from Canada's licensed growers] than nothing."
Mr. Caplan said Ottawa should step up to fund studies looking into the benefits of cannabis.
The federal government is expected to announce new forms of such funding once it rolls out legislation this spring legalizing the recreational sale of cannabis.
Addictions experts have called on the government to both study the dangers associated with the drug, such as impaired driving and more young people using it, but also pot's potential public-health benefits, such as people substituting cannabis for alcohol or opioids.

When engineering and designing products, it's good to know exactly how difficult it is for welding and machinists to meet the specifications of the design.
This week, a dozen engineers and mechanical designers from the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) are learning just that during a crash course in our welding and metal fabrication lab in the Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) at Mohonasen.
"It helps the engineers to understand theories and principles of the processes," said Welding and Metal Fabrication Instructor Don Mattoon.
"We have strict controls in place and gaining some experience on how difficult the manufacturing process is, is beneficial to us," said David Silvestri, a KAPL engineer.
"It helps me to understand what the guys on the other side of the process are going through when looking at our designs," added Marino Morra, another engineer from KAPL.
Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) is government-owned, contractor-operated laboratory run by Fluor Marine Propulsion Corporation for the U.S. Department of Energy. KAPL is responsible for the research, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of U.S. nuclear-powered warships. It also manages work on nuclear ships at numerous shipyards across the country.

Top 5 Exhaust Systems for Your UTV
Whether you're new to UTV ownership or you consider yourself a die-hard UTV fan, it's time to take a good, hard look at your exhaust system to make sure you have the best UTV parts installed. Upgrading your exhaust system will probably be one of the best things you do for your UTV. Here's what you should know about choosing the right exhaust system for your preferences.
What the Best UTV Exhaust Systems Are According to Experts
You could ask 20 people to tell you about their favorite exhaust systems, and you'd probably get 20 different answers. If you're really serious about choosing from the best side by side exhaust systems out there, here are the top five experts recommend.
Big Gun EXO Stainless Series UTV Dual Complete Exhaust System. This exhaust system earns a top rating because it's made from quality 304 stainless steel and is capable of withstanding harsh riding conditions. It also offers impressive volume, thanks to its large diameter, hexagon-shaped housing.
Big Gun EVO Sport Utility Full System. This lightweight system is made from .049 stainless steel tubing and features a muffler canister made from aluminum. It delivers an increase in raw horsepower for most UTVs. A snorkeler kit is available for all your off-roading needs.
HMF Engineering Performance Series Dual ¾ System Exhaust. This exhaust system is worth every penny of its sticker price. Designed with an unrestricted core, this system allows the exhaust to evenly increase both the torque and horsepower through the power curve. You'll love the aggressive sound that emanates from this system and turns heads everywhere you go.
HMF Engineering Performance Series Slip-On. You may be drawn to this system if you're looking for a quality UTV exhaust at an affordable price. This slip-on system offers an aggressive, deep sound and typically offers a sound increase anywhere between 2-10 dB from a stock exhaust. The unrestricted core allows for the even increase of horsepower and torque through the power curve and provides optimal flow.
Yoshimura RS-2 Signature Series Slip-Ons. If you're strapped for cash, you can still afford one of the best UTV parts out there. The Yoshimura RS-2 Signature Series Slip-Ons are quieter than some of the other systems mentioned, but they offer outstanding performance at a value. They also meet EPA noise compliance guidelines.
What the Best Side by Side Tires Are for Snow
Once you decide on the right exhaust system, you'll need to select some good side by side tires. With so many options out there, choosing the right tires can seem overwhelming. Before selecting tires, familiarize yourself with the terms "bias," and "radial." You'll also need to decide where you'll be spending most of your time. If you plan to tear things up at the sand dunes, get a good set of sand tires. If you need a DOT-approved tire, make sure you grab a set of street-legal tires. For the best tires that will take you through all types of terrain, you can't go wrong with all-terrain tires. Once you're equipped with a nice exhaust system and tires, it's time to get out there and hit the trails!

Time to reprint those fan t-shirts, folks, as a new date has been added to my world tour. Next Tuesday evening I'm giving the keynote lecture at Psych Fest 2013, the, er, psychology festival at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick. Drum roll for the abstract…
The "Delusion" Delusion: The persistence of counter-evidentiary reasoning
Notions such as democracy, law, and informed consent rely heavily on the assumption that, by and large, humans are capable of logical reasoning in a manner that coherently leads to accurate conclusions. Of course, psychological research has long demonstrated that human reasoning is actually characterised by many systematic biases and errors. Psychologists being human, these biases and errors are often rationalised in a number of self-serving ways, for example: as reflecting the limits of human reasoning when performed under duress; as the residual consequences of now obsolete environmental pressures; or as 'mental shortcuts' that tend to produce the correct decision anyway.
However, it may be that human beings are just incorrigibly irrational in ways that are destructive in the long-term, but that irrationality serves a number of short-term protective functions, and so can be expected to be preserved, rather than extinguished, by the pressures of natural selection. In other words, irrationality might be evolutionarily adaptive. If so, this would help explain the seemingly rampant nature of the anti-intellectualism, pseudoscience, and media panic that often characterises the contemporary milieu.
This lecture will consider biological, evolutionary, and socio-cultural research on how the human tendency to misunderstand promotes both individual and inclusive fitness, and on how logical reasoning can often subvert this process by exposing the individual to stress and harm. Paradoxes arising from the naturalistic fallacy – i.e., assuming that the way things are is the way they should be – will also be raised.
So there.
I'm not sure whether Joe/Josephine Public will be allowed in, but if so I'll put those details here shortly.
For the other seven billion of you, slides etc will be posted here some time afterwards.
UPDATE (8/4/13): Members of the public can attend! Details are as follows:
>> Time: 6 p.m., Tuesday 9 April
>> Venue: Room G08, Foundation Building, Mary Immaculate College, South Circular Road, Limerick (MAP)
Brian Hughes is an academic psychologist and university professor in Galway, Ireland, specialising in stress, health, and the application of psychology to social issues. He writes widely on the psychology of empiricism and of empirically disputable claims, especially as they pertain to science, health, medicine, and politics.

Optare to contribute 21 electric double-deckers to London bus fleet
Ashok Leyland's British subsidiary Optare will be delivering 21 fully electric double-decker buses to London. The contract is part of a larger order, which contains a total of 68 new vehicles for London's fleets.
As of summer 2019 the double deckers will be in use on London's streets. This was announced by mayor Sadiq Khan in the middle of June. The order also will be served by ADL and BYD, next to Optare, however it is unclear how many vehicles will be provided by each individual manufacturer. Concerning Optare, we now know that the company will provide half of the vehicles.
The vehicles will be used for London's public transit fleet. The company plans to have 240 electric buses in operation by next year. Two bus lines, specifically the 43 and 134, will be exclusively serviced by electric buses following delivery.

Veteran Producer Arthur Gardner Dies at 104
Veteran producer Arthur Gardner, who joined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences more than five decades ago, has died. He was 104.
He died Friday at the Sunrise Beverly Hills Assisted Living, his son Steven told The Los Angeles Times.
See more Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2014
Gardner was perhaps best known for producing the 1950s Western television series The Rifleman. Johnny Crawford, who played Mark McCain on the ABC series, called Gardner "a great role model and a dear friend for many years," in a Facebook post.
Gardner came to Los Angeles from his native Wisconsin in 1929, when he was 18, and enjoyed an early role in All Quiet on the Western Front. During World War II, he served in the Army's motion picture unit, where he made educational films working for Ronald Reagan.
Gardner was believed to be the oldest known voting member of the Academy, voting until he was 100. Gardner also produced one of John Wayne's final films, McQ (1974), and was most recently credited as a producer on 1982's Safari 3000.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission charged Usman and Fani-Kayode with an alleged fraud of N4.9bn.
The other defendants in the charge are one Danjuma Yusuf and a company, Joint Trust Dimensions Nigeria Limited.
The defendants were arraigned before Justice Hassan on 17 counts on June 29, 2016.
Trial in the case had commenced on October 21, 2016, with the EFCC calling its first witness, Idowu Olusegun, a media consultant.
At the resumed proceedings in the case on Tuesday, Usman's lawyer, Mr. Jelili Owonikoko (SAN), pointed Justice Hassan's attention to two pending applications filed by his client.
One of the applications, Owonikoko said, was praying the court to allow Usman to be tried separately from Fani-Kayode and for her trial to be transferred from Lagos to Abuja for convenience.
Owonikoko said his client was apprehensive that she might not get justice if she was jointly tried with Fani-Kayode.
"We are concerned about the joint trial of the first defendant (Usman) with the second defendant (Fani-Kayode)," he said.
He said it was inconvenient for his client, who lives in Abuja, to be travelling to Lagos to stand trial.
He said it became even more difficult for the former minister because all her bank accounts had been frozen, adding that for each court appearance, she would fly to Lagos a day before, lodge in a hotel and return to Abuja the day after the court trial.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria told the court that Usman, in the second application, prayed for the release of her passport to enable her to travel abroad for medical treatment.
Fani-Kayode's lawyer, Mr. Norrison Quakers (SAN), also filed an application, urging Justice Hassan to excuse himself from the case because the judge was once a prosecutor with the EFCC.
Justice Hassan adjourned till Wednesday (today) to hear the applications.
