Having fracture after getting injured is dreadful thought that goes through person's mind. Some of the injuries are so major that they produce obvious deformity, loss of function and abnormal mobility that fracture seems certain.
But there are many cases where force of injury is not much and it cannot be made out if there is a bony injury or soft tissue injury only.
Most important is to seek medical help. Clinician who sees you would look for signs suggestive of fracture which are
- Pain in the injured area
- Tenderness on the bone
- Swelling
- Crepitus [Two fragments rub each other on moving and produce grating sound- Crepitus is not elicited for purpose of examination as it is very painful]
- Abnormal mobility in the affected part
- Loss of function or inability to use affected part
An early treatment of fractures is important and always give much better functional outcome. An early recognition is must for early treatment.
How to suspect fracture?
- There would be history of an injury except in cases where bones are weak and break under routine stresses.
- Pain and tenderness are consistent findings and may sometimes be the only evidence of a fracture.
- Deformity of the limb or angulation are both highly suggestive of a fracture.
- Loss of function is often noted but may be minimal in incomplete fractures.
These features should warn the patient enough to seek a medical opinion.
Xrays are basic investigation after injury that may reveal most of the fractures. Xrays would reveal broken bones and are necessary to confirm any suspicion of fracture.
Normal radiographs suggest but do not determine an absolute absence of injury.
Many fractures will not be apparent, and soft tissue damage to ligaments and neurovascular structures may be overlooked.
In routine, an xray is done in two planes anteroposterior and lateral. If required, the doctor can ask for other views to help reaching a diagnosis.
Somtimes comparison views are ordered in case of injury to extremity. This helps to compare the anatomy with the other side.
When confirmed, the fracture should be treated accordingly.

If parking lots would have angle parking it would be safer easier and more welcoming.
This government is here to help families and employees.
This city council will forever be remembered as the ones who allowed our small and beautiful area in the coulees to be destroyed and all the wildlife chased out of there by racing bikes and off-leash dogs. And a $100 per month raise for doing so. Shame on each and everyone of you!
I can't believe the behaviour of some of the campers during May long weekend at our favourite local campground. If management lands up putting a liquor ban in place for future May long weekends because of the people who can't control themselves, I would be 150 per cent in favour.
At people who let their pets do their business on their neighbours' lawns. Please let them wreck your own lawns
Alberta's NDP government heading in exactly the same direction as Ontario concerning electrical charges. We as taxpayers are going to be in huge trouble unless they get smart and do something logical and practical. The cap they put on electrical charges is a joke and shows they know there are going to be huge increases coming.
Property taxes have risen (again) 3.75 per cent, while home prices have fallen 5 per cent. Our mayor and council have (again) a lot of explaining to do.
Every day I walk my kid to school and there is always drivers not slowing to 30 km/h in a school and play ground zone did you not get the memo that it starts at 7 a.m. which means you slow down because I will take your licence plate down and give it to the police next time I catch you speeding by Ross Glen School and Water Park.
With opposition blaming current government of flood claims not done yet. Let's all think who was in power at the last flood and screwed that up? Oh yeah the ego-filled blue team.
Medicine Hat's slogan "A Sunshine State of Mind" is soon to to be "Hotel City."
The lot on First Street across from city hall, could be a travel business with a yacht club and river cruises, with underground parking for the boats to channel into the river!
At all the people who don't recycle. Don't bellyache when your taxes go up to develop a new landfill site.
We have furniture in good condition but organizations who are looking for such things say they have to be in the garage or main floor. They won't go up a level or down a basement. How bad do they need this furniture?

The hypothesis that this project aims to investigate is this: That through the arrangement of letterforms in space, a graphic designer can manipulate this voice in order to deliver a nuanced impression of language as it is intended to be heard.
As a graphic designer, my job is to communicate meaning visually. When my choice of typography aids in the assignment of proper tone of voice to words, communication is made more clear. In the typographic studies I've created in the course of this exploration, I've tried to establish the pitch, tone, and volume of typographic voice by manipulating how words look. I've created compositions that explore how we see and hear language through typography, in order to assemble data that supports my hypothesis.

Development of porcelain waste materials for the fabrication of components by injection mouldingProject ID: BRPR950014

Development of porcelain waste materials for the fabrication of components by injection moulding
Gesamtkosten:Nicht verfügbar
EU-Beitrag:Nicht verfügbar
Koordiniert in:Spain
Finanzierungsprogramm:CSC - Cost-sharing contracts
Objectives and content
The tableware porcelain industry has a strong need in reducing production costs by modernizing its technology and to become more competitive with other non U.E. countries. One of the most promising technology is the Porcelain Injection Moulding (PIM).
Injection moulding technology involves mixing porcelain powders with a suitable combination of binders, lubricants, and platicizers to create a mixture that can be shaped by injection in a die. The shaped part removed from the die contains, ideally, a uniform dispersion of powder. The binder and other unwanted additives are removed and the part fired.
PIM has certain advantages over other methods of forming, in that crockery requiring handles can be manufactured in one step, whereas other processes require the separate fabrication of the handle and container and then, the joining of the two pieces. Clearly the simplicity of a single step forming process has economic benefits for industry. Injection moulding technology is already well established for plastics and is now being developed for the manufacture of porcelain.
This technology needs development and research to allow the optimization of all the processing stages. Also, the selection of new cheaper primary materials (porcelain and binders) and the study of the use of recycled porcelain are important requirements for industrial implantation. The integration of the processing steps for industrial-automation is necessary to increase production rates. In this project, a prototype plant system will be designed and built to optimize the various individual processing parameters and to demonstrate the capabilities of a future industrial PIM plant.
Main objectives:
- Develops new formulations of powder porcelains using waste porcelain for preparing cheaper feedstocks.
- To introduce the new Porcelain Injection Moulding (PIM) technology as an industrial competitive process for tableware fabrication.
- Increase the productivity and flexibility of tableware industry, reducing the cost.
- Decrease the environmental impact by using recycled waste porcelain, while guaranteeing the quality of the crockery and china produced. - The design and construction of a prototype pilot system for demonstrative and testing purposes.
This is a particularly relevant project in Europe because of the large number of European porcelain manufacturers. Four of the companies that participate in the project are industries from four different countries, (Portugal, Spain, France and Germany) and so the project is promoting international relations, through industrial collaboration within the European Union. The knowledge gained from this research, with further study will have wide implications to benefit a diversity of other EC ceramic industries, in more areas than just porcelains.

The holy grail for any project seeking crowdfunding is, of course, to go viral in the vein of the Pebble watch (Kickstarter's most-funded project to date) or Amanda Palmer, the first musician to break the $1 million mark, also on Kickstarter.
While not everyone can hope to achieve those levels, and the majority of hopefuls don't have huge followings to start with that they can leverage, getting the basics of a campaign right is a good start.
At a session at last week's Survive and Thrive conference led by Mohawk Media's Helen Baxter, creatives, including a rep from New Zealand crowdfunding platform Pledgeme, came together to share their experiences with crowdfunding.
The consensus was that the general pattern begins with an initial bang, followed by a middling lull, and picking back up again towards the end. Those last few days are crucial and often bring a big boost. And if you can get trending by racking up a lot of pledges in a short time (ideally at the start), your project will earn a spot on the homepage and pick up more traction going forward.
Baxter defines the key steps in the crowdfunding process as: Release (the launch), Communicate (your story and objectives), Publish (maintaining contact and updating followers), Deliver (making it happen) and Thanks (self-explanatory). See this diagram for more.
Launching right
Between 30-60 days is optimal, according to the general reckoning, but you'll need to put in the groundwork before hand to hit the ground running. Plan out a target audience, marketing strategy and define what it is you're offering and why.
Videos are also key to most successful campaigns. They help generate interest, Baxter says, and while they don't need to be fancy, they do need to convey your message in a genuine manner.
Incentives offered to those who donate to a project can range from a credit at the end of a film to a personalised poster or lunch with someone interesting.
"There's a lot of intangibles around crowdfunding – people buy into the experience," Baxter says.
Her advice for devising great rewards for pledges? Come up with something clever that money can't buy, be it an acting role in a film or having the project creators shout your name from a mountain top.
Be transparent
Make it clear exactly what you're raising money for, where it's going, and when you need it by. Kiwi FM's Fleur Jack is an example of a local musician who raised enough to fund an album.
"She publicly showed the budget – 'this is exactly what we're doing with your money'," says Baxter.
Stay in touch
It's just as much about building relationships as it is about raising cash, Baxter says.
Keep followers up to date on your funding progress, whether it's through Twitter, your blog or simply your project page. Celebrate milestones and stay on the radar of fans by being active – throw an event, host a webstream.
According to Baxter, the 80/20 rule applies – the vast majority of funding will be pledged by a select few people. Attendees on the day who've been through the crowdfunding mill all said their own readymade networks were the most valuable. That said, a bit of traditional media and PR outreach can't hurt.
Testing the market
"The really exciting thing is that quite often people continue to donate after you've raised what you've asked for. It's like market validation. You don't know how big the market is till you get in there," Baxter says.
As well as money, you also get feedback and fresh ideas, and expand your audience along the way.
But ultimately, you're also more accountable. Baxter says it's vital to maintain that contact with fans throughout, and if your project meets its goal (there's no shame in failing to do that) you need to be able to deliver on your promises.
"You've got to deliver. You've got to follow through."

Last night, I was a political activist demanding to free Tibet. The night before that, I was a crossing guard. Three nights before that, I was a World Cup Soccer referee. By day, I'm a scientist, and by night, I'm a story teller.
LEVI McPHERSON, a graduate student of analytical chemistry at the University of North Central Florida, is approached by agents of the Homeland Security's Counter-terrorism Unit. The agency is recruiting Lee to study and expose the loopholes of screening instruments in airports. Struggling financially, he accepted the offer, making him a paid, benevolent hacker of the nation's gateway. Yet Levi is horrified when an Airbus from Los Angeles disintegrated in mid-air.
At 40, when everybody's career trajectory is going up, Levi's still a poor graduate student, struggling financially. His research projects however, are worth million dollars. Researching the highly classified and heavily guarded secrets of detecting traces of explosives, what Lee know was a goldmine. The agency's offer is his financial break . So Levi tackles the problem like a scientist, detailing the loopholes of the aviation security and turning what he knew into a big time money machine.
JIM and JONATHAN of the counter-terrorism unit, where nowhere to be found after Charlotte International Airport, a hub of Delta Airlines closed abruptly because of instrument malfunctions in their security lines. And in a post-Osama Bin Laden's era, the biggest blow to the United Stated after the 9/11 disaster comes unexpectedly when a passenger plane blew up in the skies of Washington D.C., in the heart of the nation.
Levi knew it was only the start of more troubles, so he recruits his fellow graduate students to counter the future attacks. They have to think like criminals—and scientists too. With the help of FBI counter-terrorism experts, Homeland Security and Transportation Security Agency, the team races to close and plug the loopholes Lee identified.

On-the Job Training (OJT)
While they are out, I'm here in Gainesville with my 2 group mates. Both of my groupmates are eventually leaving this year, and since they have a combined 12 years experienced in research, I need to suck up all the knowledge and information that they can impart before I'm left on my own handling a high voltage, superconducting magnet with a delicate laser, just like a newbie, an OJT. These are expensive instruments that eat up a lot of electricity for the sake of science. Although I've handled this things before, I need more hands on experience to perfect my craft (just like today when power was interupted and trouble shooting was needed).
In a lighter side, my two group mates are very helpful. And they are both huge. I jokingly call them "the man" and "the tiger". The man is around 6' 5" tall, 300 lbs. Tiger is a smaller version. So you can imagine myself as the quarterback protected by the two offensive linemen. "The man" likes to work with the hard wares and "tiger" tinkers more on the software side. This explains why "tiger" has connection to several U.S. supercomputers housed at the Army, Naval and Air Force. He showed me a device that generates passwords every 40 seconds when he connects to secure computers to do his calculations.
Anyway, life goes on. Fortunately, they pay me for doing my OJT.

YSM alumna Christine Gangelhoff releases new album with C Force
Christine Gangelhoff '95 AD recently released a new recording entitled Tour de Force with her ensemble, C Force. The 2-disc collection features art music of the Caribbean and includes works by composers from Guadeloupe, Haiti, the U.S. Virgin Islands and many more.
This release is the group's third recording and follows the success of their first two albums, Tchaka Mizik, and Deep Blue. The latter was praised by musicologist Dominique de Lerma as "being destined to become a document in the evolutionary history of music in The Bahamas."
C Force is a group committed to the preservation and promotion of art music of the Caribbean region. In addition to flautist Gangelhoff, the ensemble is comprised of Christian Justilien, euphonium, and Christy Lee, piano. Both Gangelhoff and Justilien serve on faculty at the College of The Bahamas in Nassau on the island of New Providence; Lee serves on faculty at Maryville College in Maryville, TN.
About Christine Gangelhoff
Dr. Christine Gangelhoff has been a member of the music faculty of The College of The Bahamas since 2007 and has served as Coordinator of the Music Department since 2014. Previously, she served on the faculties of Memorial University of Newfoundland and St. Thomas University in St. Paul, Minnesota. She holds degrees from Yale University, the University of Minnesota, and the University of North Texas. She recently founded The Bahamas Music Educators Association (BMEA) with the goal of promoting and facilitating excellence in music education throughout The Bahamas.
In addition to performing and teaching, Dr. Gangelhoff has conducted extensive research on Caribbean art music and has become a leading proponent in this field. She was the chief organizer of the 2013 International Symposium on Composers of African and Afro-Caribbean Descent, which brought together musicians, composers, scholars and students to engage with the topic of Caribbean art music. Dr. Gangelhoff is also contributing several entries to the forthcoming Dictionary of Caribbean and Afro-Latin American Biography to be published by Oxford University Press. She is co-author of the award-winning "Art music by Caribbean Composers," a comprehensive bibliography documenting the little-known art musical traditions of the Caribbean region. She continues to work on subsequent volumes as she seeks to promote a deeper understanding of and greater visibility for this little-known tradition.

Kingston Wharves outlines plans for logistics centre
Kingston Wharves Limited (KWL) last Wednesday outlined plans for the establishment of a total logistics complex in Newport West and further expansion of its port facility during a stakeholders meeting with members of the Shipping Association of Jamaica (SAJ).
During the meeting held at the Shipping Association of Jamaica, Grantley Stephenson, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of KWL, advised members that the company has been granted government approval to modify access through Third Street, Newport West, as part of its plan of expansion and development which is well situated with the national thrust towards developing the shipping and logistics industries.
The KWL CEO stated that the modification of access was necessary to facilitate the build-out and preparation of infrastructure for the company's development over the next five years, which includes boundary extension, container yard rehabilitation, dredging, and the purchase of gantry cranes.
Estimated at a cost of US$70 million, Stephenson said that the initiatives will create a significant number of jobs and bring increased opportunities to businesses in the port community.
Noting that KWL has been granted free-zone status, Stephenson said, "this initial step sets the stage for an improvement in the country's attractiveness as a logistics destination as it bolsters our ability to undertake projects on behalf of major players in the market who are now looking to the Caribbean to establish hubs in preparation for the Panama Canal expansion."
He added that, as part of its plans, KWL will be investing in the rehabilitation of the drainage system in Newport West as well as the creation of a central chassis park.
The modification of the KWL facility will affect traffic flow in the community.
Third Street:
Third Street closure will start at the eastern boundary of the KWL Logistics Centre (formerly Lascelles Distribution Centre), to the eastern boundary of the Petrojam fuel storage depot in the west.
Third Street west of the intersection with Fifth Avenue, will become a two-way street cul-de-sac.
Third Street west of the point of closure at the eastern side of the Petrojam fuel storage depot extending to the intersection with Eight Avenue, will also become a cul-de sac with two-way traffic.
The lower sections of Sixth and Seventh avenues between Second and Third
streets will be closed.
First Street
First Street will be converted to one-way traffic flow from east to west from Fourth Avenue to Ninth Avenue.
The remaining streets of the Newport West subdivision will remain unaffected. All the avenues will remain as two-way traffic flows as currently prevails.
