The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes, complications, and survival of a long cementless titanium femoral stem in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a minimum five year follow-up.
Between 2000 and 2010, 114 patients (116 hips), with a mean age of 68 ± 12 years, underwent revision THA using a KAR® stem (DePuy, Leeds, UK). The main reasons for revision were aseptic loosening (82%), periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) (11%), and periprosthetic fractures (6%). Mean follow-up was ten ± three years (range, 5–16). Harris Hip Score (HHS), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), and Postel-Merle d'Aubigné (PMA) score were recorded. Radiographic analysis assessed stem osseointegration and subsidence. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and cumulative incidence function (CIF).
Post-operative HHS was 83 ± 15 (range, 35–99) and OHS was 37 ± 8 (range, 8–48). PMA score significantly increased from 12 ± 2 (range, 5–18) pre-operatively to 14.6 ± 2 (range, 9–18) post-operatively (p = 0.0004). The radiographic Engh score was 15 ± 8 (range, 7–22). Stem subsidence was observed in two cases (3%). At ten years, five stems had been revised, three for infections and two for periprosthetic fractures. Using the KM method, ten year survival free of stem revision for aseptic loosening was 100%, free of revision for any reason 95%, and free of any re-operation 81%.
The present study reported satisfactory outcomes and survival of a long tapered unlocked cementless femoral stem in revision THA at a minimum follow-up of five years.

What non-contact boxing can teach you about career and business
Several years ago, I found myself frequently debating with leaders and teams about the merits of a metaphor: Are our work lives marathons or sprints?
I eventually realized, however, that they are neither. A marathon gives off the impression that work is a slog we have to push through. A sprint leaves us out of breath and energy pretty quickly–although some have argued that the analogy was supposed to instruct us to perform sustainably. After all, we need time to recharge if we want to perform.
Lately, I've been likening work life to non-contact boxing. The sport trains us to confront conflict and complexity with maximum impact and minimal harm–a more apt metaphor for what it takes to be a great colleague or leader today. Here are the reasons why:
When clients approach me, they generally think the problem is other people, but end up resolving a conflict with themselves. When part of them isn't in alignment, they end up clashing with colleagues.
At work, these days, many of us feel fearful and angry–whether we're dealing with a competitor who is disrupting our industry, or we're the ones doing the disrupting. We are exhausted, and negative emotions, such as outrage, intensify as a result.
Boxing happens in rounds, so you're forced to take a break to pause, reflect, rest, and recover. Boxing is also intrapsychic. You are your toughest opponent.
When I coach executives for a "fight" against colleagues (such as a negotiation), I employ a metaphorical mirror. Regardless of whether we are prone to fight or flight, flop, freeze, or friend, we're fighting against ourselves. In boxing, to get out of our own way, we need to move swiftly ("fast feet"), block ourselves for protection, slip out of the way of what is coming, and weave to avoid mistakes we've made before.
We can train our reflexes so that behaviors that serve us best are more automatic. When we activate all of our senses, including intuition, we equip ourselves to recognize when we've been here before. In business, as in boxing, pattern recognition connects us to the past even as we cultivate a capacity to stay present and alert to a possible future.
Stress can compel us to react in a negative way. But boxing lets us cultivate a healthy defense. We learn to be agile, and we adopt a bouncy stance. This prevents us from getting hit when we're in danger, particularly in instances when attacking or running away is not ideal.
In life, danger can come in all sorts of forms, and the appropriate response will vary across instances. Boxing teaches us when we need to slip away from a situation, when we need to (forcibly) advance, or defend ourselves.
Because boxing requires us to learn a sequence of moves that become automatic, it allows us to add value with our whole brain by switching between the Task Positive Network (task-focused, more left-brain or tactical, analytical) and Default Mode Network (unfocused, more right-brain or big picture, creative). Both modes are essential for leadership and business success.
You might be wondering, what does it matter which sport we use to conceptualize success our working lives?
In neuroscience, neural circuits that function to fulfill one purpose sometimes fulfill another. This process, called neural reuse, is an effective tool for learning and a fast track to meaning at work.
A strong metaphor can act as an effective reminder for our brain. We're living in an era and a political climate in which aggression (including gender discrimination, racism, and other human rights violations at work) is all too common. It is natural, but not helpful in all situations, to assume a role of victim, perpetrator, or savior. Non-contact boxing offers us agency and flexibility, and trains us to adopt a growth mindset.
Yes, we need stamina. Yes, we need breaks. But we also need a regime that keeps defenses healthy and maintains strength and courage to optimize our performance when we do put ourselves out there. Sure, we might miss some punches in the process, but we'll do so with grace, and we'll also learn to hit our targets with accuracy, speed, and power.

The $28,000 DrugPosted by Pharmacist on February 05, 2013
H.P. Acthar Gel was created in the 1950s by Dr. Philip S. Hench, who was looking for a way to use hormones to help treat ailments such as gout, arthritis and even lupus. The main component, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), was and is taken from the pituitary glands of pigs as they're prepared for processing. The meatpacking company Armour & Company had supplied Dr. Hench with ACTH to use in his research, and the company received a patent from the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) in 1952; originally the drug was marketed to treat around 50 different diseases.
As research advanced science was able to synthesize steroids such as prednisone and use of H.P. Acthar Gel gradually declined, though the drug was still considered one of the best ways to treat infantile spasms. In 2001 the drug was sold to Questcor with a retail price per vial of approximately $40. Questcor immediately raised the price of Acthar to $700 per vial and raised prices steadily to today's current rate of $28,400 per vial. This has skyrocketed profits and turned Questcor into a Wall Street favorite. It's profitable for employees, as well – the company's pharmaceutical reps can make bonuses up to $50,000 per quarter.
According to the New York Times, Questcor is running a savvy game. When insurance companies won't pay for Acthar, it gives patients the drug for free; Questcor also helps families make their co-insurance payments so nothing will stand in the way of the insurance company paying for treatment. This means insurance companies are consistently left paying for high treatment costs and Questcor avoids scrutiny from angry patients who can't afford the treatment. This strategy is so important to Questcor that it has 30 people on staff whose sole purpose is to handle insurance reimbursements – which equates to around one person for each of the 30 prescriptions the company receives on an average day.
Questcor CEO Don Bailey says the high price was set because the drug was originally marketed solely for infantile spasms. However, prescriptions continued to come in to treat periodic multiple sclerosis flare-ups. Questcor saw an opportunity and hired a sales team to help promote the drug for that use. After that they moved on to nephrotic syndrome (a kidney disease) and in June 2012 Questcor started promoting Acthar to rheumatologists. In every case there are less expensive treatments for these conditions, including oral prednisone for certain rheumatological diseases, which can cost as little as $10 per dose.
It's important to note that there have been no large group trials of the drug since it was approved for all of these uses in the 1950s and any recent studies including Acthar have been sponsored by the company. Because the patent ran out long ago, other companies could attempt to replicate the drug, however they would have to go through trials and be approved for each disease on an individual basis.
Despite the recent scrutiny, Questcor will keep prices up and expand its marketing efforts to cover the other diseases listed on the label. And while some investors have turned away from the company, Questcor isn't deterred – it's buying back its own stock so it can continue to offer Acthar at the same price to consumers.

Slate roofing is a prominent selection for several household roof coverings. Slate is composed of actual shingle-like bits of rock and usually seen on more upscale houses. It is among the residential roofing materials that are long lasting and nearly unbreakable. In fact, a slate roof that is over 100 years of age is not unusual. Slate can be manufactured into roofing slates, also referred to as tiles and also are mounted by a Slater. Slate, nevertheless, has two lines of breakability: bosom and grain. This makes it possible for the slate to be divided right into thin sheets. Slate is a costly selection in terms of readily available domestic roofing products, it affords a look that is very natural and also can be laid out in a range of patterns, hence creating even extra options.
The benefits of slate are identical to those of floor tile roofing. Slate roof coverings have a long life-span and offer excellent fire protection. They are also extremely reduced maintenance and also do not yield conveniently to rot or insect damage. Slate roofing likewise comes in a broad option of colors and sizes, though the colors are mainly comparable to those located in nature. Slate when utilized as residential roofing products is an excellent choice partly as a result of its longevity. Because of this, a slate roof is often taken into consideration to be the best type available. It might last between 75 to 150 years or longer. Also like ceramic tile roofing, slate can be a very heavy material. This implies it may need additional support that can be fairly expensive. It is, however, as immune to outside impacts as clay ceramic tile.
One factor to keep in mind when picking a slate roof is that it is quite breakable when walked on hence making it somewhat difficult to carry out routine roof maintenance, seamless gutter cleaning and paint. It is for this reason that a professional needs to be contacted to carry out these tasks. Slate roofing is commonly costly to install, occasionally costing as long as your house it will certainly relax upon. The most effective component regarding this, however, is that it will certainly never ever need to be changed in your lifetime, a fact that definitely makes choosing a slate roof worth due factor to consider so Albany NY Roofing Contractors recommend to use slate roof. It is for this reason slate is an eye-catching selection for residential roofing materials and why this kind of roof can be found on many residences. This is a perfect example of how real advantages can really surpass the problems and also why a slate roof might turn out to be the best financial investment you have ever before made.

Donald Trump just put the US on the Sunni Muslim side of the bitter sectarian war with the Shias
It was crude stuff. President Trump called on 55 Muslim leaders assembled in Riyadh to drive out terrorism from their countries. He identified Iran as a despotic state and came near to calling for regime change, though Iran held a presidential election generally regarded as fair only two days previously. He denounced Hezbollah and lined up the US squarely on the side of the Sunni against the Shia in the sectarian proxy war that is tearing apart the Middle East.

It was checkout time Wednesday at the venerable Waldorf Astoria.
The Park Ave. hotel, home across two millenniums to Presidents from Hoover to Obama and stars including Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra, shut its doors for a major two-year makeover.
While there were no more rooms to spend the night in at the Art Deco landmark, the building was filled by a combination of nostalgia, a sense of loss — and a few last fans bidding farewell.
"It's the greatest hotel of them all, so I wanted to experience it before it closed," said Jav Van Der Woodson after staying overnight Tuesday with his close friend Kristy Fields, 47, of Louisville, Ky.
Van Der Woodson, 33, came down from his East Harlem home to spend one last night in the hotel that fills the Midtown block between 49th and 50th Sts.
"It was wonderful," he said before the famed lobby clock, adorned with the faces of six Presidents and topped by Lady Liberty, chimed 12 times at noon to signal the end of an era.
"It has great significance for all the socialites, and what it meant," he added. "I cannot wait until they finish with this renovation to see what it's going to be like afterwards."
The swanky hotel was bought for $1.95 billion in 2015 by Anbang, a Chinese holding company.
Veteran Waldorf bell captain Patrick Alexandre noted some things in the hotel, where he started working in 2002, would not change despite the facelift.
The Waldorf's lobby decor, its facade and its grand ballroom architecture are protected by its landmark status, granted in 1993.
"They can't touch this," said Alexandre, 51. "It's considered history. They can't break that down." The hotel will be changing from a 1,400-room property to an 800-room luxury hotel and condominiums.
"They can do whatever they want with the rooms," Alexandre said.
Dozens of people in the hotel's iconic lobby marked the day by snapping selfies with their smartphones — a commonplace 2017 practice that was unthinkable when the Waldorf opened in 1931.
"It's stepping back in time when you walk in there," said departing guest Chelsey Hearn, 28, of Tyler, Tex. "It's such a shame that it's going to be modernized."
Hearn, her sister Cassidy and their cousin Alyssa Abel of Wills Point, Tex., met Wednesday with their aunts and grandmother for a farewell to their favorite hotel.
"They're in mourning today," said Hearn about her older relatives. "I think they're all wearing black."
The family made an annual trek to the hotel for the past 15 years — a fraction of the Waldorf's 86-year run.
Hearn's great-aunt Mickey Vaughn, a gospel musician, sat Tuesday night at the grand piano once played by composer Cole Porter.
"They just like knowing the history of the hotel, enjoying the architecture and the furniture," said Hearn.

The best brands, are the ones that are well-rounded. SixCell is more than a brand it's a movement. An up and coming platform, after a clothing staple of course. Started in Chicago by Jake Hayes in late 2018, the first official drop is finally out.
The SS19 drop offers four cold designs, ones that will make anyone on the street do a double-take. A hoodie in memory of the late legend ASAP Yams, an eerie butterfly print, airbrushed excellence, and skeletons who are working at the SixCell Call Center. Perfect execution for the debut. Not overwhelming the people but not doing too little either. Designs that are sure to be re-released for years to come. Establishing the brands aesthetic and cementing it with this drop.
Tailoring to the underground. Not only providing the good threads but serving as a community. Hosting tracks and dropping mixes on their SoundCloud. Bringing all creative people together; other brands, musicians, skaters, artists, everybody. It's clear that SixCell wants to see everybody win. By bringing people together that's how we all win.
Cop the first drop below and follow both social medias.

Amb. Roland Timerbaev – a luminary in the field of nonproliferation, an undisputed authority, a great teacher and mentor – has passed away.
"Autonomous systems are gradually displacing humans from the battlefield, and in many aspects, this can be a boon to the military, who are exposed to less risk. However, at the same time, humans transfer to artificial intelligence (AI) a part of their powers, and consequently a part of their responsibility. According to experts, neural networks will probably never learn to explain their decisions to humans. This can become a serious problem once AI is involved in such areas as intelligence, data analysis, communications and control, scenario development, and in the long run decision making." – Director of PIR Center's Emerging Technologies and Global Security Project Vadim Kozyulin.
"The latest prepcom has two main opposite results: in two weeks it was not possible to reach consensus among the NPT members and agree on the text of recommendations for the 2020 Review Conference, but it was decided to appoint Argentinean diplomat Rafael Mariano Grossi as the Chair of the Review Conference – his formal appointment will take place at the end of 2019," Adlan Margoev, PIR Center "Russia and Nuclear Nonproliferation" Program Director.

Susan from Fairfield Age: 24. A beautiful woman, with a good figure, independent will meet a man for meetings on my territory.
There just inches away from my eyes was the underside of his huge, fat, very erect, 8" cock. I heard him peeing and then taking a shower. Mom and son rare footage. We stayed up well past midnight before turning in. It was getting dark outside. The patio doors were open to let the cool night air in. As a little girl, I remember seeing my father and brothers naked, but their penises weren't erect so I had no one to compare him to except his father.
Debbie from Fairfield Age: 26. Always in a good mood. I invite you to a Cup of tea. I live alone.

Emma from Fairfield Age: 27. I will become the mistress of a young charismatic man.

Ana from Fairfield Age: 24. Sex without obligations for one night.
He hugged me from behind, I could feel his engorged cock slip in between my naked ass crack. He wrote back telling me that he never wore clothes except in public or unless he had company that felt uncomfortable with nudity. I got up and went to the kitchen to brew a pot of coffee. I don't mind you being naked. Since it was on the top floor of the building, it came with a small private rooftop patio.
Phyllis from Fairfield Age: 35. Charming, tender and sensual fairy of love with beautiful soft, silk skin is waiting for you.

NASCAR Top 10 Power Rankings: Week 13
May 29, 2019 by Jeffrey Boswell • Print Story •
Note: the quotes in this article are fictional.
1. Martin Truex, Jr. — Despite contact with the wall in Stage 1, Truex recovered and sealed the win at Charlotte with a daring four-wide pass for the lead on the final restart.
"What better advocate for going 'four-wide' than Joe Gibbs," Truex said. "Joe made the 'four wide receiver' set commonplace in the NFL of the 1990s.
"I'm just glad my move didn't cause an accident. The last thing we need is another upset driver punching another. Of course, my teammate is Kyle Busch, so I can definitely understand the desire to punch someone. His brother Kurt may have an even more punchable face. In fact, Kurt's face has been 'rearranged' before, when a plastic surgeon downsized his ears."
2. Kyle Busch — Busch finished third in Charlotte and leads the Monster Energy Cup points standings by 6 over Joey Logano.
"This race lasted a grueling 5 hours," Busch said. "It's grueling for drivers, but even more grueling for a crew chief who has to listen to his driver complain for nearly all of those 5 hours."
3. Joey Logano — Logano took the runner-up spot in the Coca-Cola 600.
"I got close to Martin Truex, Jr. at the end," Logano said, "but not close enough to give him the old 'bump and run,' the 'run' of which means I run and hide afterwards. But he did a great job defending his position. He had the best car, and I wasn't going to pass him. And, as they say, 'there was no way around it.'"
4. Brad Keselowski — Keselowski won Stages 1 and 2 at Charlotte, but blew a tire and slammed the wall with 10 laps to go. He finished 19th, two laps back.
"The No. 2 Miller Lite was dominant in the first two stages," Keselowski said, "but certainly not in the last stage. But 'the No. 2' out of three ain't bad."
5. Chase Elliott — Elliott finished fourth at Charlotte, recording his 5th top-five of the season.
"The Sunday before Memorial Day is the greatest day in motorsports," Elliott said. "Fans on the East Coast can enjoy breakfast at Monaco, lunch at Indianapolis, and an appetizer, nice dinner, desert, and a bedtime snack at Charlotte."
6. Kevin Harvick — Harvick finished 10th at Charlotte, and is 3rd in the Monster Energy Cup points standings, 50 out of first.
"Congratulations to Tony Stewart on his Hall Of Fame induction," Harvick said. "Boy, I can't wait to hear Tony's induction speech. It will probably be four letters long."
7. Denny Hamlin — Hamlin finished 17th at Charlotte.
"I hit the wall in Stage 2," Hamlin said, "then hit it harder on the race's final lap. Luckily, cars and drivers are equipped with so many safety devices, you really can't feel the impact. Someone should remind Clint Bowyer of that."
8. Clint Bowyer — Bowyer finished 24th in the Coca-Cola 600.
"You probably saw me punching Ryan Newman after the All-Star race," Bowyer said. "I didn't even let Ryan get out of his car! Needless to say, Ryan said he 'won't take this sitting down.'"
9. Alex Bowman — Bowman started 13th and finished 7th at Charlotte, and is 10th in the points standings.
"My Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron started on the pole," Bowman said, "becoming the youngest ever on the pole at for the 600. He was ecstatic. He was on 'Cloud 9.' Several decades ago, you could have said he was 'sitting on the top of the World 600.'"
10. Kurt Busch — Busch struggled at Charlotte, finishing 27th, four laps down.
"Charlotte Flair drove the pace car for the race," Busch said. "As you probably know, Charlotte Flair is the daughter of wrestling legend Ric Flair. Incidentally, 'Charlotte Flair' is also the name of the downtown Charlotte club where you're most likely to find Michael Waltrip."

Movie News
Come Together For Sundance Film Festival 2011
With a record six films in this year's U.S. Dramatic Competition developed through the Sundance Institute Labs, Sundance President and Founder Robert Redford news press conference calling for renewed focus on how the original mission for the Institute still defines the Festival.
We're always asking, 'What are we doing, why are we here, what's the point of all of this?' The point simply has been to do whatever we can to create opportunities for new artists."
Redford put into perspective all of the ways that the Institute has grown since its founding thirty years ago, from the Labs growing into a constant support system for filmmakers to the advent of the Sundance Channel, Sundance Theatres, and to developing projects online and beyond. He spoke strongly about the potential of new technology and of the Internet,
as long as we adapt to them and stay focused on the mission of helping filmmakers get their work out."
Because of that sundance.org/festival: refurbished last August, now offers updates and video interviews so you can see 12 of this year's short films, plus eight other classic shorts from the past on youtube.com/ytscreeningroom.
The Sundance Film Festival opened on Thursday night four feature films instead of only one, including a documentary about calypso singer Harry Belafonte and a teen lesbian drama. Redford called Belafonte's tale "a story about a man whose story should be told for generations to come," and the documentary earned a standing ovation. The other screenings included: Pariah, the tale of a young black lesbian who yearns to come out of the closet; The Guard, an Irish buddy-cop comedy starring Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson; and Project Nim, a British documentary about a chimpanzee raised as a human being in an ethically questionable experiment.
The annual showcase for independent movies runs through January 30, and takes place as bold discoveries from last year's event, including The Kids Are All Right and Winter's Bone, vie for attention during Hollywood's awards season.

Captain Robert Nairac in Belfast before he was abducted by the IRA in South Armagh.
An MP whose commanding officer was murdered by the IRA has called for Parliament to mark his death amid a row over draft proposals on the prosecution of Armed Forces veterans.
Sir Mike Penning (Hemel Hempstead) paid tribute to Captain Robert Nairac in the House of Commons as a number of MPs spoke about reports saying plans to block prosecutions against ex-military personnel would not apply to the North of Ireland.
Rising to make a point of order, he said: "42 years ago in the early hours of that morning, a brave British soldier who was from 3 Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards was abducted by the IRA.
"Captain Robert Nairac was my captain, a gentleman that in the boxing ring broke my nose, the first person to have done so.
"We still do not know what happened to him. This country owes a great debt to our soldiers in the North of Ireland, and particularly those who have given the utmost for their country.
"Mr Speaker do you think there is any way that I can mark 42 years of Captain Robert Nairac giving his life for this country and for the peace of the North of Ireland?"
His tribute was echoed by Tory MP and former army officer Bob Stewart (Beckenham), who said Captain Nairac had received a George Cross posthumously, after being "tortured heinously" by the IRA.
He said he had "died in an incredibly gallant way and I agree we should recognise the great gallantry of this man".
In reply, Commons Speaker John Bercow said he was "very open to the idea of recognition in the way that he suggests", and called for Sir Mike to visit him to discuss it further.
But it led to further points of order, with the DUP's Gavin Robinson (Belfast East) saying that he sought assurances from the Attorney General Geoffrey Cox earlier this year that any proposal to protect veterans from prosecution would "apply equally across the UK", and that he was told it would be "plainly wrong if it didn't".
So he said he was "perturbed" to read that plans will not apply to Northern Ireland, saying: "It shows scant disregard for people the length and breadth of this United kingdom who stood to protect our interests, our values and our democracy."
Tory James Grey (North Wiltshire) asked whether any bill which excluded Northern Ireland could be amended to out it back in, with Mr Bercow agreeing in principle, saying "with very few exceptions bills are amendable".
And fellow Conservative Richard Drax (South Dorset), another ex-military officer, called on the Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley to make a statement to the Commons on the matter.
Gavin Robinson MP
Legal protections for military veterans must apply equally across the UK, says MP
He added: "This pursuit of our armed forces, our veterans, 200 of them for things allegedly done many, many years ago is totally unacceptable and it must end forthwith."

USB 2.0 Extensions
This section describes the USB 2.0 debugger extension commands. These commands display information from data structures maintained by drivers in the USB 2.0 driver stack. For more information about these three drivers, see USB Driver Stack Architecture.
The USB 2.0 debugger extension commands are implemented in Usbkd.dll. To load the Usbkd commands, enter .load usbkd.dll in the debugger.
USB 2.0 Tree
The USB 2.0 tree contains the device nodes that represent execution units on EHCI host controller devices along with the child nodes that represent hubs and connected devices. This diagram shows an example of a USB 2.0 tree.
The diagram shows one physical host controller device that has two execution units. Each execution unit appears as a device node in the Plug and Play device tree. One execution unit appears as a UHCI USB host controller node, and the other execution unit shows as an EHCI USB host controller node. Each of those nodes has a child node that represents a USB root hub. Each root hub has a single child node that represents a connected USB device.
Notice that the diagram is not a tree in the sense that not all nodes descend from a single parent node. However, when we use the term USB 2.0 tree, we are referring to the set of device nodes that represent execution units on EHCI host controller devices along with the nodes for hubs and connected devices.
Getting started with USB 2.0 debugging
To start debugging a USB 2.0 issue, enter the !usb2tree command. The !usb2tree command displays a list of commands and addresses that you can use to investigate host controllers, hubs, ports, devices, endpoints, and other elements of the USB 2.0 tree.

There isn't much that makes me happier than hearing from my former couples that they're having a baby and want me to do maternity photos. When that couple happens to be Katie and Kyle and this means I get to hang out with my favorite flower girl and most awesome kid, like ever, it's like Christmas. I just can't even with this little family.

The Value of Values
Identifying core values has been a more frequent theme in my coaching and facilitation work recently. In the last couple of weeks I've coached clients who want to re-visit their values and I ran a workshop just today about how to break through the barriers to outstanding success, where again we identified the participants' values as part of the process.
So here are my thoughts on what values are, how they support us, and why they are so important
What are values?
For me, values are usually one word, abstract concepts. They describe who we are and what is important to us rather than who we think we should be. We are naturally drawn to them and eager to express them. They don't need any effort because they are intrinsic to who we are and when we live our lives in alignment with our values we are creating the environment that supports us to be the best we can be. Michael Angier described identifying values as being like developing a photograph in a darkroom. They are already imprinted and just need to be revealed.
How do they support us?
Clear values help us…
- Understand who we are and what we stand for
- Choose how we spend our time and who with
- Determine whether our actions are "right" or "wrong"
- Notice when we are going off course
- Make good decisions
- Stay motivated and inspired
Why are they so important?
Clear values are important because they are the only sustainable basis for goal setting. The reason so many goals require us to drive ourselves hard to accomplish them is they are not aligned with our values. We can all discipline ourselves to take actions towards goals for a limited period of time but it's hard to keep up in the longer term or when the going gets tough. Any achievements will be also be short lived and unfulfilling. Compare that with identifying your values and then setting a goal for each one. Getting to work on those goals is far more likely to take less effort and produce lasting and meaningful outcomes.
Being clear on our values and expressing them in our lives, gives us a sense of True North. They help us focus on the compass rather than the clock.
The Single Most Effective Question You Can Ask
When you are implementing change, one thing is for sure – not everything you do will work perfectly. Taking risks, experimenting, making mistakes and learning from them, are all part of the process of moving you towards your desired outcomes and feedback is a major part of that process.
Feedback is also vital in ensuring that everyone is actively engaged and contributing their views, and ideas right from the outset. If you are afraid that asking people's views will open a can of worms, imagine what would happen if you didn't open the can! Their responses would remain hidden from you, but likely to surface in other ways further down the line, with the potential to seriously undermine the change initiative.
So for a simple practical way of gathering feedback, ask this single most effective question…
On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate:
- our customer service?
- the new brochure?
- our teamwork?
- the quality of our relationship?
- this presentation?
- the effectiveness of the new system?
- our new product?
- my coaching?
- this newsletter?
The score itself isn't as important as the thinking and discussion which follows. So once you have the score it's useful to ask questions like:
- What's already happening, even infrequently, that puts the score where it is?
- How can we build on that?
- What would 10 look like?
And the most important follow up question of all:
- How will we know when we have moved to the next point on the scale? (What will we be doing, seeing, saying, hearing and feeling?)
This approach is empowering because it doesn't focus on problems (Where are we going wrong? or Who can we blame?) but on solutions (What is already working? How can we maximize our strengths?) Also, because everyone is involved and all opinions are valid, the agreed actions are much more likely to be implemented.
"Happy Learning"
Stressed? You've got 3 choices
Today I've conducted 5 coaching sessions with managers and there is a pattern running through all of them. A feeling of being overwhelmed, stressed and lacking any control over their own destiny. This isn't surprising given that the managers are from various companies going through redundancies, re-organisations and other major changes. However, just because it is a normal response to imposed change it doesn't mean we have to feel helpless. The challenge is to focus on the parts that are within our control rather than waste precious time and energy on things outside it.
Stress happens when there is a mismatch between the demands being placed on us and our perceived resources to meet those demands. When we are not challenged enough we are in danger of rust out (I don't see as much of that these days) and when the demands are greater than our perceived resources we risk burn out.
According to Ross and Altmaier in "Intervention in Occupational Stress" stress management is a decision making process and there are only 3 choices to make. We can:
Alter it – by changing something in how we approach our work, e.g. problem solving, clearer communication, better planning.
Avoid it – by removing ourselves from the situation or not getting into it in the first place, e.g. walking away, having clear boundaries, saying no, or even leaving the organisation.
Accept it – by building our resilience to it, e.g. self care, support systems, identifying goals and values, and by changing our unhelpful beliefs and perceptions about the situation or ourselves.
Which choices are you making? They may not be ideal, but they are choices, and they are yours.

text: Home SpottedPeople2018MayYellow-Mushmellow-draws-from-hardships-to-create-art Yellow Mushmellow draws from hardships to create art by Yasira Hannan (Writer) | May 10, 2018 InterviewsYouth features Freelance illustrator, Aida, creates light-hearted comics about caring for people with special needs. Growing up with two special needs sisters has placed Nur Aida Sa'ad and her family in a couple of unexpected situations. During their unexpected tantrums, her family had to deal with broken mirrors at home. Aida also had her computer thrown onto the floor once. "Growing up with special needs sisters is unpredictable, but it is where you find gems and pleasant surprises that really catch you off guard," said 27-year-old Aida, who is better known as Yellow Mushmellow on Instagram. Last August, Aida worked on a series of comics that depicted the mayhem that ensued at home when their parents left for a religious pilgrimage to Mecca. Over a month, Aida shared several short stories about coping with the challenges she faced at home on Instagram. Her comics were so well-received that Aida is now compiling all 70 comics into a book, which she plans to release by the end of May. It was the first time Aida was tasked to care for her younger sisters. PHOTO CREDIT: NUR AIDA SA'AD "Drawing forces me to process the events [that happened at home], and publishing it forces me to make light of the situation. "It can be quite frustrating because every scenario is new, even for my mom who has done it for 20 years," explained the freelance illustrator. She prefers to use her work as a coping mechanism, often drawing to destress or express her thoughts. PHOTO CREDIT: YOUTH.SG/YASIRA HANNAN Two weeks ago, Youth.SG met the 27-year-old at her cosy art studio on Lim Ah Woo Road. Since 2014, she has worked on client commissions for big brands like Starbucks, Redbull, McDonald's and Uber, as well as personal projects that revolve around her two younger sisters, Aisha and Sheila. Her love for her sisters is evident not only from the artwork she shares with over 4,800 followers on Instagram, but also from the décor of her studio. We spotted a big rainbow painting leaning on the wall and a stack of drawings displayed on the shelves – all created by her youngest sister Aisha, who is autistic. Aida reserved a 'rainbow corner' in her studio so that Aisha can create her masterpieces. PHOTO CREDIT: YOUTH.SG/YASIRA HANNAN "Aisha likes repetition. She's obsessed with rainbows. Every time she comes [to my studio], she draws rainbows," said Aida, who spoke fondly about her 17-year-old sister. "Her obsession with rainbows shows that there are many ways to express what rainbows are," added Aida, who is currently working on a rainbow-inspired installation for The Artground, a public play area for kids opening in late August. When they are not creating art in the studio, Aida (right) takes Aisha (left) out for pottery lessons. PHOTO CREDIT: NUR AIDA SA'AD Aida, whose parents are in the creative scene, has always been fond of making things. "When I was in JC, I drew about how I 'died' after every exam…People started to look forward to the drawings, and even the teachers would ask me [about them]," she shared with a laugh. One of the doodles Aida created when she was studying in Temasek Junior College.

On the Strada Statale 309 Romea, the thousand-year old Abbey of Pomposa marks the beginning of the Po Delta. Its church tower is the symbol of one of the most prominent communities of Benedictine monks in Italy. The early days of this monastic community did not make much of a mark on Italian history before the year 1000, after which Pomposa rapidly became wealthy and famous. This was the great era of Romanesque architecture. It is still visible in the church today, in its bell tower and in what remains of the monastery, all of which date back to around the first half of the 11thcentury.
Not far from here, along the River Po, lies the splendid Castle of Mesola with its elegant crenellated towers. Built in 1578, at the request of Alfonso II, the last descendant of the Estense family, this imposing structure, which is half way between a fortress and a residence, was protected by nine miles of city walls and surrounded by woodland for hunting, part of which still exists in the Forest of Mesola.
Not far from here is the Forest of Mesola Nature Reserve. This woodland presumably originated in the Middle Ages on sandbar dunes formed by the Po di Goro and the Po di Volano. Today, it is one of the last and best preserved remnants of a larger woodland located on the plain, what remains of the ancient forests that used to cover the Adriatic coast until a few centuries ago. The forestcannot be visited in its entirety but on certain accessible pathsyou can sometimes spot stags and deers.

What is church?
When we think of church in America we most likely think of a Sunday morning gathering at a building where we sing songs, have a quick time of "fellowship" and someone teaches from up front. We talk about church as a place you go to or attend once a week, and even have phrases like "church shopping" when we need a change for whatever reason. It's a place where there are, most likely, few participants and many spectators.
We believe Jesus gave us a wonderful picture of what the church should look like to the individual, to the community and to a hurting and broken world.
"Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19
Jesus called individuals to follow Him and to live life together on a daily basis so He could transform and train them up to be sent into the lost and broken world. He spent three years with twelve men and then, strengthened by the gift of the Holy Spirit, sent them out to preach the Good News and make more disciples.
We believe that the best way to train up disciples who will follow Christ, love each other well, and minister to a broken world is still in this same intimate setting. So we meet in small groups of 10-25 in our homes for this purpose. It is in these family churches that we can best encourage, strengthen, and challenge each other to live our lives led by the Holy Spirit according to His Word so we might be lights to the world around us.

Everybody agrees that masterful woodcraft comes at a price, what that price should be is the subject of a lot of debate. Have you ever wondered what to charge for something you made? Virtually every handmade product has a "right price." Charge more and it won't sell; charge less and you're losing money.
Marking your cuts is an essential step in woodworking, and there are a variety of tools for any job from simple pencils to complex marking knives. If you are going to work wood using hand tools, then all of the traditional marking tools are essential.
Finishing masks and respirators commonly known as P-Series particulate respirators (P95, P97, and P100) provide protection against both solid and liquid aerosol particulates that may contain oil and are best for working with wood stains, paints, and other finishes.
Using the the depth probe on a set of calipers can help you set the height on your blades and router bits. A dial caliper takes precise inside and outside measurements, but the depth probe on the end can also help you set exact blade and bit heights.
Jointers and Combination Machines Take Many Roles in the Shop from Cutting Wood for Joints to PlaningPosted: July 09, 2019|Categories: Tips, Tricks & FAQ , Power Tools
A jointer can be a handy tool to have in your shop for creating perfect butt joints and repairing cupped and twisted lumber. Many woodworkers agree that, after a table saw, the number one piece of shop equipment is the jointer. One look at the versatility of this workhorse and it's easy to see why.
Posted: July 03, 2019|Categories: Tips, Tricks & FAQ , Wood
Most woodworkers who start experimenting with veneer quickly face a dilemma. They need to cover a surface wider than the capacities of their clamps but they don't want to purchase a costly veneer press. Don't fret; try caul veneering. It's cheap, easy, effective, and adaptable to most of the situations you'll come across.

Q: I'm trying to smooth a piece of cherry knot or crotch wood I've had drying out for about three years now. I resawed a slice with my band saw, but when I turned to my cabinet scrapers they were very dull. I tried to sharpen them but had little luck getting the wire edge on them that makes them work so well.

We love going into NY on summer weekends when the streets are empty and the restaurants and bars are not crowded. So an afternoon jaunt to NYC on the 4th of July was an easy choice.
We were on our way to the Sunshine Cinema on Houston near the Bowery to see Love Ranch. Which by the way was a very enjoyable movie.
We spotted this great bar and restaurant called Macondo with its doors wide open and took a seat at the street side bar for some delicious food and drink.
We selected from the sunday brunch menu which includes many tempting items. Our choices were a delicious salad with fresh greens and tomatoes, cabarles cheese and a thick fig balsamic dressing; and a real Cuban sandwich that came with perfect Yuca fries and a exquisite dipping sauce. I have had many Cuban sandwiches over the years, and many in Miami. This one was without a doubt the best I have ever tasted.
On the menu are a nice selection of South American and Spanish beers and wines along with a number of intriguing cocktails. The brunch selection include a selection of drinks. Diana picked a seductive Guanabana Mimosa that was amazing.
While we were there we checked out the dinner menu and will be back for that and their week night Porron Hour. I love the layout of the place with a variety of seating options from casual to luxe, communal to private.
In case you were wondering, Macondo is the fictional town in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's great novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. In the story the town grows from a tiny settlement with almost no contact with outside world, to become a large and thriving place around a banana plantation that leads to Macondo's downfall. We hope that this Macando never grows beyond the perfection it has now.

For most radioactive nuclides, the half-life depends solely on nuclear properties and is essentially a constant. So geochronolgists just measure the ratio of the remaining parent atom to the amount of daughter and voila, they know how long the molecule has been hanging out decaying. Both relative dating and absolute dating are tools used to give temporal characteristics to a sequence of events. The above equation makes use of information on the composition of parent and daughter isotopes at the time the material being tested cooled below its closure temperature.
Fossils and relative dating
What methods do archaeologists use to date their finds? The mass spectrometer was invented in the s and began to be used in radiometric dating in the s. What Tools do Archaeologists Use.
Can be estimated using relative dating or determined using absolute dating? Absolute is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology. What are the advantages of relative dating and absolute dating? Radiometric dating, based on known rates of decay of radioactive isotopes in objects, allows a specific age of an object to be determined to some degree of accuracy. The rate of creation of carbon appears to be roughly constant, as cross-checks of carbon dating with other dating methods show it gives consistent results.
Radioactive dating refers to the process of measuring the age of an object using the amount of a given radioactive material it contains. They both are methods used in archaeology and geology. Radiometric dating is also used to date archaeological materials, personal ad including ancient artifacts. Why are both absolute dating and relative dating used to determine tha age of fossils?
Relative Vs. Absolute Dating The Ultimate Face-off
This method works because some unstable radioactive isotopes of some elements decay at a known rate into daughter products. Famous Chemists and Their Contributions. This is called relative dating. The possible confounding effects of contamination of parent and daughter isotopes have to be considered, as do the effects of any loss or gain of such isotopes since the sample was created. Although both relative and absolute dating methods are used to estimate the age of historical remains, the results produced by both these techniques for the same sample may be ambiguous.
What is relative age dating of rocks? Each radioactive isotope works best for particular applications. What are the similarities between relative dating and absolute dating? The equation is most conveniently expressed in terms of the measured quantity N t rather than the constant initial value N o.
Geologic Age Dating Explained
Geologists deal with the oldest of samples and radiometric dating with uranium is one of the few methods of absolute dating. These are both considered as methods to determine the age of an object. Radiometric dating has been carried out since when it was invented by Ernest Rutherford as a method by which one might determine the age of the Earth. What is the difference between relative-age dating and absolute-age dating? Thus an igneous or metamorphic rock or melt, which is slowly cooling, dating service austria does not begin to exhibit measurable radioactive decay until it cools below the closure temperature.
Relative dating Science Learning Hub
Absolute dating, also called numerical dating, arranges the historical remains in order of their ages. United States Geological Survey. From the chart, which methods are best for older materials? Relative dating, meanwhile, measures the order of past events, without determining their absolute age. Absolute dating relies on the known rate of decay of radioactive elements present in the rock to arrive at a fairly precise age.
- Over time, ionizing radiation is absorbed by mineral grains in sediments and archaeological materials such as quartz and potassium feldspar.
- Controversial Science Topics.
- The emissions are measured to compute the age.
- Closure temperatures are so high that they are not a concern.
Are there repairs or cracks in the sidewalk that came after the sidewalk was built? South African Journal of Geology. Relative dating is achieved by determining the position of rock in strata, and the appearance of certain index fossils. Chemistry in Everyday Life. What is the difference between relative and absolute dating?
Also, an increase in the solar wind or the Earth's magnetic field above the current value would depress the amount of carbon created in the atmosphere. Relative dating gives a relative answer years after the end of the civil war. This is well-established for most isotopic systems. The area of intersection of both sets depicts the functions common to both.
What is the difference between relative and absolute dating
What Is Absolute Age
Say for example that a volcanic dike, or a fault, cuts across several sedimentary layers, drive traffic to or maybe through another volcanic rock type. What is the similarity between absolute and relative dating? Thermoluminescence testing also dates items to the last time they were heated. This normally involves isotope-ratio mass spectrometry. Fluorine absorption Nitrogen dating Obsidian hydration Seriation Stratigraphy.
What Is Absolute Age
- What are two ways of dating fossils and explain both?
- What is a similarity to relative and absolute dating?
- The temperature at which this happens is known as the closure temperature or blocking temperature and is specific to a particular material and isotopic system.
- Glaciology Hydrogeology Marine geology.
- But the most accurate forms of absolute age dating are radiometric methods.
Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and geology. Half-life simply means the amount of time it takes for half of a remaining particular isotope to decay to a daughter product. As the mineral cools, the crystal structure begins to form and diffusion of isotopes is less easy.
However, it can be used to confirm the antiquity of an item. With death, the uptake of carbon stops. Radiation levels do not remain constant over time. Relative Dating Techniques Explained.
What are two methods of determining a fossil's age? Provide an idea of the sequence in which events have occurred. For this reason, many archaeologists prefer to use samples from short-lived plants for radiocarbon dating. Pretty obvious that the dike came after the rocks it cuts through, right? This transformation may be accomplished in a number of different ways, including alpha decay emission of alpha particles and beta decay electron emission, positron emission, tall dating uk or electron capture.
Relative Vs. Absolute Dating The Ultimate Face-off
What are the two ways that scientists can date fossils? Compare and contrast relative dating and absolute dating? Absolute dating says that something happened in a certain year. Relative dating and absolute dating.
However, local eruptions of volcanoes or other events that give off large amounts of carbon dioxide can reduce local concentrations of carbon and give inaccurate dates. Facts about Thomas Edison. Handbook of paleoanthropology. Relative dating says that something happened a certain amount of years after something else happened. Chinese Japanese Korean Vietnamese.

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- U.S. share markets were bracing for an opening blast off, sparked by an upgrade of Intel and a record sales day at Wal-Mart on Nov. 29.
Strength in European bourses also contributed to the early bullish sentiment.
Shares of chipmaker Intel INTC, -0.86% bulled 93 cents, or 4.5 percent higher, to $21.81 in pre-open trading. Analyst Dan Niles at Lehman Bros. upgraded the chip sector bellwether to "overweight" from "equal weight," citing continued improvement in the demand for computer hardware. He also raised his price target on the Dow industrials component to $24 from $17.
Niles also upgraded Intel's chief rival Advanced Micro Devices AMD, +2.62%, sending the stock up 57 cents, or 6.3 percent, to $9.57. His rating was raised to "equal weight" from "underweight" and his price target was lifted to $10 from $6.
Other analysts were also largely supportive of Intel ahead of the company's mid-quarter update for investors on Thursday.
Merrill Lynch raised its fourth quarter revenue forecast for Intel to $6.9 billion and expects earnings per share at 13 cents from 12 cents. The broker however kept a 'sell' rating cap on the stock, saying it sees the improvement in the numbers or the business is already in the stock price.
UBS Warburg told clients it expects Intel's "management will increase the revenue guidance from the original range of $6.5-6.9 billion, with a midpoint of $6.7 billion, to tighter range with a midpoint roughly $6.8 billion."
In other tech bellwethers seeing activity, Cisco Systems CSCO, -1.10% tacked on 29 cents to $15.21, Microsoft MSFT, -0.09% was bumped up 89 cents to $58.57 and Dow stock IBM IBM, -0.50% rallied $1.53 to $88.45.
Elsewhere, Dow component Wal-Mart WMT, -0.89% hiked $2.07, or 3.8 percent higher, to $55.97. The retailing behemoth said the Friday-after-Thanksgiving delivered a record single-day sales of more than $1.43 billion. Sales were up from the $1.25 billion on the same day in 2001.
The day after Thanksgiving is typically the fifth-sixth biggest shopping day of the year in the U.S.
Fellow Dow retailer Home Depot HD, -0.20% benefited with a gain of $1 to $27.40.
Pre-open gains in Dow stocks helped drive the "Diamonds" DIA, -0.11%, a tracking stock for the Dow, to a $1.45, or 1.6 percent gain, to $90.40.
The S&P 500 Index tracker SPY, -0.11% added $1.55 to $95.50 and the Nasdaq 100 tracker QQQ, -0.01% advanced $2.09 to $28.38.
UAL UAL, -0.21% soared 73 cents, or 30 percent, to $3.18 in pre-open trading over regional exchanges after the airliner's machinists union scheduled for Thursday a second ratification vote on UAL's recovery plan. The International Association of Machinists sent the stock sprawling on Friday after the initially rejected UAL's plan, which included salary cuts.
The IAM said the second vote comes after a meeting with UAL management on Sunday to address union concerns.
European stocks were higher on Monday as expectations firm for a rate cut from the European Central Bank on Thursday of at least 25 basis points. An upgrade on Nokia NOK from Merrill was also said to have bolstered the key European tech-telecom stock.
Nokia is meeting this week with analysts in the U.S. The mobile phone maker is seen upgrading its forecast for handsets units sold worldwide, dealers said.
The stock got a 62-cent, or 3.2 percent lift, to $19.83 in the pre-open.
