Elgin Receives Three Awards for Excellence in Downtown Revitalization
Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn concluded the 13th Annual Illinois Main Street Downtown Revitalization conference November 14 and 15 held in Waukegan with the Lieutenant Governor Awards for Excellence in Downtown Revitalization. The Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA) with Community partners brought back to Elgin three awards recognizing local efforts.
The 2005 Block Walk Report Project completed by the DNA Design Committee was a co-winner of the Design Committee Project, the Judson College Partnership with DNA won in the Partnership Development category, and lastly Giants: African Dinosaurs Created by Project Exploration/ Dinos on Parade was a co-winner in the Special Event category. The Downtown Neighborhood Association also received designation as a Premier program through the Illinois Main Street Program, which there are only seven of in Illinois out of sixty-nine communities.
Present to receive an award for the 2005 Block Walk Report was architect, Eric Pepa, urban planner and landscape architect, Paul Bednar, and construction contractor, Rick Krocza as active DNA Design committee participants in this project. The judges declared," This was a wonderfully proactive approach and a great model for other Main Streets."
Present to receive an award for the Judson College Partnership was Provost & VP for Academic Affairs, Dale Simmons, Architecture department chair Dr. Curtis Sartor, and students Josh McGarvey, Nickolas Coile, John Wetendorf, Aaron Wood, and recent graduate Maria Sierra. One judge commented, "What a great use of their resources! The students benefit from practical experience and the community reaps the awards!"
Present to receive the "Giants: African Dinosaurs Created by Project Exploration/ Dinos on Parade" award from Gail Borden Public Library was Carole Medal, executive director, Karen Maki, deputy director, Denise Raleigh, director of communications and Jean Bednar, library board member and foundation trustee. The judges declared this a "Dino-mite project" that Gail Borden Public Library, the community and DNA took part in. The project was a success because of a tremendous number of people that contributed.
Illinois Main Street communities from throughout the state submit their best projects for the annual awards. A distinguished panel of judges, including economic development specialists, historic preservation architects, and downtown professionals made the award decisions.
The Lieutenant Governor's Office administers the Illinois Main Street program, which has 69 designated communities, with an additional 25 introductory communities on the way. It is based on a national model that offers communities help with issues of historic preservation, economic development and downtown improvements. Illinois has the 4th largest program out of the 40 plus states that belong to the National Main Street program administered through the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The August Smart Lock is now available for purchase at the Apple Store for $249.99.
The smart lock, designed by Behar, leverages a Bluetooth low energy-enabled locking mechanism and a mobile application to send virtual keys to anyone you choose to have access to your home. As the key holder arrives at the door, August auto-unlocks allowing you to enter into the home. The lock also has a security feature called EverLock, which senses when the door is closed behind you and automatically locks the door.
The lock was available to pre-order online for $199; however, with it arriving to Apple's retail stores, pricing has increased to $249.99.
Here's some more details about the company's decision to offer the smart lock in Apple's retail stores...
Why did August pursue retail distribution?
We did it based on user feedback. Thousands of our early supporters indicated that, because the August Smart Lock needs to fit the look and feel of their homes, they would prefer to see the product in person and understand the installation requirements. To that end, we partnered with Apple — a company committed to building world-class products and providing an excellent consumer experience at their stores.
What about preorder customers?
August's online store is backordered due to demand but our manufacturing line is rapidly scaling to fulfill all orders. Customer orders have been shipping since August 25th, in the order they were received. In addition, for our pre-order customers (those placing orders on or before August 25th), we are also honoring the original price of $199 which is lower than the retail price of $249.99. Based on recent increases in customer demand, we expect it will take up to 90 days for us to fulfill orders placed today, with many shipping sooner than that. Please note that August does not charge credit cards until your order is ready to ship.
Why couldn't you fulfill all preorders before going to retail?
Candidly, it was a tough call. The main reason we are going to retail is because many of our early supporters have consistently asked for alternatives to a purely-online purchasing experience. They'd like to see the product in person, understand the installation requirements and ensure the look and feel fits with their home. To balance their needs against those of our online store customers, we (a) began shipping early to preorder customers on August 25th, (b) are maintaining the $199 price for pre-order customers and (c) opted to partner with Apple to take this product into a retail purchasing experience.
We'd like to point out that retail is a tough market for a startup to navigate, especially during the year-end holidays. We've seen more than enough demand through our online store. If August were optimizing just for margin, online would have continued to be our only channel. It was a difficult decision but our only motive in providing a retail option was to better serve our early supporters.

If you write for Demand Studios, you know the good and the bad. They are flexible, you can have as much work as you want and the pay is pretty good. They have a lot of types of titles to choose from, and they pay often. However, the frustration level when you deal with them can absolutely and without question drive you over the edge. I often have to take a month or two away from them and do client work because I can't take the frustration level for very long.
If you work for them or have been thinking about it, this is all you need to see:

Similarly, a whole "remove your army before the fight starts" is pretty difficult, since you would have to communicate to a lot of officers before the fight starts, and that could lead to....leaks.
2) I respect Ellen a lot more after reading V5 and her geopolitical plan. Picking up Tigre was just a icing on a cake-Approve meter +1
3) This make the Kingdom of Zctched a confederation, not a real kingdom. Since all 7 girls can redefine what is "national interest" on the fly. Given how paranoid the king is and not utlize his tools properly regarding the Vandris, I am getting an strong impression whoever was the original black dragon king, his line probably has ended. (And possible Tigre is the real bearer of the blood).
4) Yea, I know it is a lite novel....but wouldn't a summer battle be more interesting? The story would make a lot more sense-and I don't think snow played any real role in this war.

i not expressed my idea right maybe because i'm not so good to write in english(is terrible) but my goal was that Duke Thandier not removed his army before the fight in truth he let a hole in the army purposely to let the "assasin" kill the prince or something like that after you read the others "fights" you can see that the 25k army of brune fall too quick i was sure that was something wrong and after i read about the plan to kill the prince everything made sense ( maybe a little sense). and about his son i think was to make more believe because even the small nobles like tigre came so he put her son. after all he is one of the two most powerfull noble in brune so placing his son was more like "a must" to show to the king.
about the confederation thing maybe at the beggining Zctched was not but now is (unofficial) just think all these powerfull girls and a shithead king the only thing that prevents the girls dominate Zctched is that legend that Vanadis can not become king
is just that the king is afraid to command the girls so is best to let they do what they want .even kill each other because that will decrease the power they have and that is what the king want the most.
just think what is more powerfull a girl who has 10 years of history as Vanadis or one that have just 1 year?
i know that in this case if the vanadis is weak the kingdom become weak too but that was not the case with this king at least. ellen said that the current king is doing everything he can to downgrade the power of the vanadis because he is afraid.
about tigre be the real king, is good but is too cliche after all if you just read the first two volumes you can already figure that. so is best not to be him.
sorry for my horrible english however this is not my main language and i'm self learning .
sorry the name of the characters and cities (dont remember how to write them)

About manga chapter 6. It does kinda feel rushed, probably because artist wanted to start drawing more action, because ever since beginning it has been all talk and war action. The only action scenes have been chapter 1 and the assassin with crossbow.

On the chapter, while I'm not entire surprised at the general direction of where things are heading I do like it. This is pretty the only legitimately way Tigre would actually feel comfortable defecting from Brune. The people of Alsace won't have a problem with a territory of Zlichted considering current events.

So I was re-reading the scene in Vol 4 where Tigre and Mira are penned in, thoroughly exhausted and about to die.. And the Knights of Brune arrive and fight their way through to Tigre and bow before him, and he tears up and says: "..You came.."
Damn if I didn't start tearing up some manly tears while on the subway into work..
Reply hazy, through.. the sweat of my heart

The Republican field is fluid and volatile but Paul registers double-digits almost everywhere.
When The Run 2016 last published in January prior to its move to U.S. News, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie remained the 2016 Republican presidential front-runner of the moment, despite the bruises he sustained from the bridgegate scandal.
Two and a half months and a handful of polling later, a weakened Christie's been nudged from his perch but undoubtedly remains in the game.
As it has been for months, the GOP field is volatile and fluid with as many as a half dozen potential candidates polling within the margin of error of each other, depending on the survey.
But when isolated to polling conducted over the last month, there's one notable trend that emerges: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul manages to register double-digits everywhere.
Take the three national GOP primary polls released in March. Public Policy Polling produced 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee as the leader of the pack nationally with 18 percent. Paul tied with Christie for third place with 14 percent. Jeb Bush — enjoying a boomlet of media attention after his appearance at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum Sunday — was second with 15 percent.
Meanwhile, CNN's poll put Paul in the catbird seat, leading the field with 16 percent.
Finally, a Wilson Perkins Research survey found Paul and Huckabee tied at the top with 13 percent each.
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, Christie, Bush and even Huckabee's standing varied between the three polls. Paul's number was the most consistent despite the differing methodology. He's firmly in the low- to mid-teens.
Head into the early primary states – the most important metric when measuring presidential primary power – and Paul's numbers are similar.
The last two polls out of the first in the nation caucus state of Iowa found Huckabee with narrow leads over Paul. WPA, a GOP-aligned firm, pegged Huckabee at 14 percent and Paul at 10 percent. The Democratic-aligned PPP survey taken in February found a similar result: Huckabee in first with 17 percent, but Paul not far behind in second place, garnering 14 percent.
New Hampshire, which follows Iowa in the primary process, appears to be slightly friendlier territory for the libertarian-minded Paul. A Suffolk University survey taken at the beginning of the month had Paul and Christie knotted at 12 percent at the top.
To be precise, Paul had the edge, drawing three more votes than Christie out of the 426 polled.
But the larger point is that of all the candidates in the scrum, Paul is performing best on the major polling cylinders – nationally, in Iowa and in New Hampshire. Furthermore, by strictly observational measures – his greatest competition at the moment – Huckabee – is viewed as less likely to ultimately run than he is.
Questions about Paul's foreign policy views, organizational acumen and ability to win over GOP establishment figures will continue to percolate during this early pre-primary season. But one thing that can't be questioned is Paul's polling consistency, which has earned him the tenuous title of front-runner.

Cortisol plays a role in regulating your blood pressure, heart function, digestion, and a lot else, Hatipoglu explains. So if your adrenal glands poop out and your cortisol levels plummet, a lot can go wrong.
(In as little as 30 days, you can be a whole lot slimmer, way more energetic, and so much healthier just by following the simple, groundbreaking plan in The Thyroid Cure!)
Here's what you need to know about this condition—starting with its craziest symptom.
It can make your teeth appear whiter.
Hatipoglu once met with a patient who was suffering from fatigue, belly pain, and mild weight loss. "Her doctors thought she was depressed," Hatipoglu recalls. Toward the end of their appointment, Hatipoglu noticed the woman's teeth looked very white. She realized they looked white because the woman's skin was tan. "I asked her if she'd been on vacation, and she said she hadn't been in the sun, and that's when I knew," Hatipoglu says. Some Addison's-related hormone shifts can make the skin appear darker, almost like a tan. "Addison's is the only disease I know of that can cause darkening of the skin," she says.
Its (other) symptoms are popular ones.
Along with darker skin, other symptoms of Addison's include nausea, mild-to-severe abdominal or bone pain, weight loss, a lack of energy, forgetfulness, and low blood pressure, Hatipoglu says. Of course, those same symptoms are linked to many other health issues, from thyroid disease to cancer. "It's very easy to confuse with other disorders, so many people see a lot of doctors before finally receiving a proper diagnosis," she says. (One exception: For young women who develop Addison's disease, loss of body hair is a warning sign, Hatipoglu adds.)
It's rare.
Doctors also miss or misinterpret the symptoms of Addison's disease because it's very uncommon. "I'm not sure if it's quite one in a million, but it's very rare," Hatipoglu says. "It makes sense that many doctors don't think of it when examining a patient with these symptoms."
It's often confused with adrenal insufficiency.
A lot of online resources mention Addison's disease and adrenal insufficiency as though they were two names for the same condition. They're not the same, Hatipoglu says. While a thyroid issue or some other hormone-related imbalance could mess with your adrenal function, Addison's disease refers to an autoimmune disorder in which your body attacks and destroys your adrenal glands.
That destruction can happen quickly.
While it takes months or even years for some Addison's sufferers to lose all hormone production in their adrenal glands, for others the disease can knock out those organs very rapidly—in a matter of days, Hatipoglu says. "That's very uncommon," she adds. But compared to other less-severe adrenal issues, the symptoms of Addison's tend to present more dramatically, she explains. That means a sufferer is likely to experience several of the symptoms mentioned above, and those symptoms will continue to grow worse as time passes.
Anybody can get it.
Addison's is not picky. It can strike at any age, regardless of your sex or ethnicity, Hatipoglu says. While there's some evidence that genetics may play a role—if other people in your family have the disease or some other endocrine disorder, that may increase your risk—there's really no way to predict who will develop the disease, she adds.
Screening for Addison's is pretty simple.
If your doctor suspects Addison's, he or she will conduct a blood test to check for your levels of cortisol and another hormone called ACTH. "Usually the results of that screening are very clear," Hatipoglu says. If they're not, some follow-up tests can determine for sure if you have the condition.
There are effective treatments.
Those treatments involve taking oral hormone supplements. In extreme cases, if the patient's body does not properly absorb those supplements, injections may be necessary, Hatipoglu explains. "But patients live a normal life," she adds. "It's a treatable disease, and the treatments are effective."

Check Out Amazing Xiaomi Deals (Buy 1, get 1 free and much more)
by Jul 21, 2017 7:51 am0
Xiaomi is known for producing all sorts of gadgets. Obviously, the company has made one of the most popular budget smartphones in the world but they also produce some cool yet very cheap devices. Gearbest now has a lot of Xiaomi products on sale.
Just a few products that are on sale right now:
Xiaomi Mijia MI SPHERE 3.5K 360 Camera
Xiaomi has a wide range of gadgets and their 360 camera is one of their latest offerings. It is compact, well-built and it can shoot in 3.5k resolution, and it has some other cool features.
The Xiaomi 360 camera looks and feels quite different than generic Chinese cameras. It is thin and light and the build quality is just top notch. Dual Sony IMX 206 sensors with f/2.0 aperture and 190-degree wide angle lens and Ambarella A12 chipset does all the magic to seamlessly stitch the footage into a 3.5k 360 video.
You can now get Xiaomi Mijia MI SPHERE 3.5K 360 Camera for just $248.99!
Xiaomi Bluetooth Receiver
The Xiaomi Bluetooth receiver is a hot new product that costs just $21, so it will not break anyone's bank. It has some cool features like one button to power on / off, it supports connecting to 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously and it has the Bluetooth V4.2 chip.
Xiaomi Huami Amazfit PACE
The market of smartwatches is pretty crowded and you can choose from the most expensive and feature packed watches like the Samsung Gear S3 or look for cheaper yet high-quality alternatives. I've been using the Amazfit Pace smartwatch, which is made by the Xiaomi's subsidiary Huami. It looks great, it has a built-in GPS and some other cool features.
You can now get it for just $104.49, which looks like a great deal!
Xiaomi Mi Band 2
The market is full of fitness trackers but not all of them are affordable.
Usually, cheap fitness trackers look and feel cheap but the Mi Band 2 is well-built and it is super light. Also, it is IP67-certified, meaning that you can use it in the rain, shower or elsewhere.
The star of the show is a 0.42" Oled display, which shows basic info like a clock, steps taken, calories burned, distance walked, heart rate and various notifications from your smartphone. You can navigate with just one capacitive button and I found it to be very simple yet convenient.
You can now get the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 for just $22.59
Xiaomi Roidmi 2S Bluetooth Car Charger
To be honest, I've been looking for a great versatile car charger that has the FM modulator feature since my car does not have neither the AUX input port nor Bluetooth.
The Roidmi 2s is very-well built and sturdy charger that has 2 ports with the power output of 2.4A that can charge the phone very fast.
One of the key features of this device is the FM modulator. All you have to do is download the Roidmi App, connect the charger to your phone via Bluetooth, select the same radio bands on your car's stereo and on the app and you are ready to stream music.
You can also check out some other cool gadgets in this video:

Ferdinand de Lesseps
November 19 1805–December 7 1894
Ferdinand Marie, vicomte de Lesseps was the maker of the Suez
Canal, which joined the Mediterranean and Red Seas for the first
time in 1869, and substantially reduced sailing distances and
times between the West and the East.
He attempted to repeat this success with an effort to build a
lockless version of the Panama Canal during the 1880s, but the
project was finally completed by the United States in 1914, once
developments in medicine had been made which combatted the
serious problems of malaria and yellow fever in the area.
The origins of de Lesseps' family are traceable back as far as
the end of the 14th century. His ancestors, it is believed, came
from Scotland, and settled at Bayonne during the region's
occupation by the English. One of his great-grandfathers was
town clerk and at the same time secretary to Queen Anne of
Neuberg, widow of Charles II of Spain, exiled to Bayonne after
the accession of Philip V. From the middle of the 18th century
the ancestors of de Lesseps followed diplomatic careers, and he
himself occupied several diplomatic posts from 1825 to 1849. His
uncle was ennobled by King Louis XVI, and his father was made a
count by Napoleon I. His father, Mathieu de Lesseps (1774-1832),
was in the consular service; his mother, Catherine de Grévigné,
was Spanish, and aunt of the countess of Montijo, mother of the
empress Eugénie.
Ferdinand de Lesseps was born at Versailles in 1805.
His first years were spent in Italy, where his father was
occupied with his consular duties. He was educated at the
College of Henry IV in Paris. From the age of 18 years to 20 he
was employed in the commissary department of the army. From 1825
to 1827 he acted as assistant viceconsul at Lisbon, where his
uncle, Barthélemy de Lesseps, was the French chargé d'affaires.
This uncle was an old companion of La Pérouse and a survivor of
the expedition in which that navigator perished.
In 1828 Ferdinand was sent as an assistant vice-consul to Tunis,
where his father was consul-general. He aided the escape of
Youssouff, pursued by the soldiers of the Bey, of whom he was
one of the officers, for violation of the seraglio law.
Youssouff acknowledged this protection given by a Frenchman by
distinguishing himself in the ranks of the French army at the
time of the conquest of Algeria. Ferdinand de Lesseps was also
entrusted by his father with missions to Marshal Count Clausel,
general-in-chief of the army of occupation in Algeria. The
marshal wrote to Mathieu de Lesseps on December 18, 1830: "I
have had the pleasure of meeting your son, who gives promise of
sustaining with great credit the name he bears."
In 1832 Ferdinand de Lesseps was appointed vice-consul at
Alexandria. While the vessel Lesseps sailed to Egypt in was in
quarantine at the Alexandrian lazaretto, M. Mimaut,
consul-general of France at Alexandria, sent him several books,
among which was the memoir written upon the Suez Canal,
according to Bonaparte's instructions, by the civil engineer
Lapré, one of the scientific members of the French expedition.
This work struck Lesseps's imagination, and gave him the idea of
constructing a canal across the African isthmus. Fortunately for
Lesseps, Mehemet Ali, the viceroy of Egypt, owed his position in
part to the recommendations made on his behalf to the French
government by Mathieu de Lesseps, who was consul-general in
Egypt when Ali was a colonel. Because of this, Lesseps received
a warm welcome from the viceroy and became good friends with his
son, Said Pasha.
In 1833 de Lesseps was sent as consul to Cairo, and soon
afterwards given the management of the consulate general at
Alexandria, a post that he held until 1837. While he was there
an epidemic of plague broke out and lasted for two years,
resulting in the deaths of more than a third of the inhabitants
of Cairo and Alexandria. During this time Lesseps went from one
city to the other and constantly displayed an admirable zeal and
an imperturbable energy. Towards the close of the year 1837 he
returned to France, and on December 21 married Mlle Agathe
Delamalle, daughter of the government prosecuting attorney at
the court of Angers. By this marriage Lesseps became the father
of five sons.
In 1839 he was appointed consul at Rotterdam, and in the
following year transferred to Málaga, the ancestral home of his
mother's family. In 1842 he was sent to Barcelona, and soon
afterwards promoted to the grade of consul general. In the
course of a bloody insurrection in Catalonia, which ended in the
bombardment of Barcelona, de Lesseps offered protection to a
number of men threatened by the fighting regardless of their
factional symapthies or nationalities. From 1848 to 1849 he was
minister of France at Madrid.
In 1849 the government of the French Republic sent him to Rome
to negotitate the return of Pope Pius IX to the Vatican. He
tried to neogotiate an agreement whereby Pope Pius could return
peacefully to the Vatican but also ensuring the continued
independence of Rome. But during negotiations, the elections in
France caused a change in the foreign policy of the government.
His course was disapproved; he was recalled and brought before
the council of state.
de Lesseps then retired from the diplomatic service, and never
afterwards occupied any public office. In 1853 he lost his wife
and daughter at a few days' interval. In 1854, the accession to
the viceroyalty of Egypt of Said Pasha gave de Lesseps a new
impulse to act upon the creation of a Suez Canal.
Suez Canal
Said Pasha invited Lesseps to pay him a visit, and on November
7, 1854 he landed at Alexandria; on the 30th of the same month
Said Pasha signed the concession authorizing him to build the
Suez Canal.
A first scheme, indicated by him, was immediately drawn out by
two French engineers who were in the Egyptian service, MM. Louis
Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds called "Linant Bey" and
Mougel Bey. This project, differing from others that were
previously presented or that were in opposition to it, provided
for a direct communication between the Mediterranean and the Red
Sea. After being slightly modified, the plan was adopted in 1856
by an international commission of civil engineers to which it
was submitted. Encouraged by this approval, de Lesseps no longer
allowed anything to stop him. He listened to no adverse
criticism and receded before no obstacle. Neither the opposition
of Lord Palmerston, who considered the projected disturbance as
too radical not to endanger the commercial position of Great
Britain, nor the opinions entertained, in France as well as in
England, that the sea in front of Port Said was full of mud
which would obstruct the entrance to the canal, that the sands
from the desert would fill the trenches--no adverse argument, in
a word, could dishearten Lesseps.
He had the support of the emperor Napoleon III and the empress
Eugénie, and he succeeded in rousing the patriotism of the
French and obtaining by their subscriptions more than half of
the capital of two hundred millions of francs which he needed in
order to form a company. The Egyptian government subscribed for
eighty millions worth of shares.
The Compagnie universelle du canal maritime de Suez was
organized at the end of 1858. On April 25, 1859 the first blow
of the pickaxe was given by Lesseps at Port Said, and on
November 27, 1869 the canal was officially opened by the
Khedive, Ismail Pacha.
While in the interests of his canal Lesseps had resisted the
opposition of British diplomacy to an enterprise which
threatened to give to France control of the shortest route to
India, he acted loyally towards Great Britain after Lord
Beaconsfield had acquired the Suez shares belonging to the
Khedive, by frankly admitting to the board of directors of the
company three representatives of the British government. The
consolidation of interests which resulted, and which has been
developed by the addition in 1884 of seven other British
directors, chosen from among shipping merchants and business
men, has augmented, for the benefit of all concerned, the
commercial character of the enterprise.
Ferdinand de Lesseps steadily endeavoured to keep out of
politics. If in 1869 he appeared to deviate from this principle
by being a candidate at Marseille for the Corps Législatif, it
was because he yielded to the entreaties of the Imperial
government in order to strengthen its goodwill for the Suez
Canal. Once this goodwill had been shown, he bore no malice
towards those who rendered him his liberty by preferring Léon
Gambetta. He afterwards declined the other candidatures that
were offered him: for the Senate in 1876, and for the Chamber in
1877. In 1873 he became interested in a project for uniting
Europe and Asia by a railway to Bombay, with a branch to Peking.
The same year, he became a member of the French Academy of
Sciences. He subsequently encouraged Major Roudaire, who wished
to transform the Sahara desert into an inland sea.
The King of the Belgians having formed an International African
Society, Lesseps accepted the presidency of the French
committee, facilitated Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza's
explorations, and acquired stations that he subsequently
abandoned to the French government. These stations were the
starting-point of French Congo.
A statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps stands at the entrance of the
Suez Canal.
Panama Canal attempt
In May 1879 a congress of 135 delegates (including Lesseps)
assembled in the rooms of the Geographical Society at Paris,
under the presidency of Admiral de la Roncire le Noury, and
voted in favour of the creation of the Panama Canal without
locks, like the Suez Canal. de Lesseps was appointed President
of the Panama Canal Company, despite the fact that he had
reached the age of 74. It was on this occasion that Gambetta
bestowed upon him the title of "Le Grand Français." However, the
decision to construct the Panama Canal without locks, making it
an uninterrupted navigable way, doomed the project.
de Lesseps went with his youngest child to Panama to see the
planned pathway. He estimated in 1880 that the project would
take 658 million francs and eight years to complete. After two
years of surveys work on the canal began in 1882. However, in
addition to the technical difficulties, financial incompetence,
corruption and equatorial diseases resulted in the Panama Canal
Company declaring itself bankrupt in December 1888 and entering
liquidation in February 1889.
The failure of the project is sometimes referred to as the
Panama Canal Scandal, after rumours circulated that French
politicians and journalists had received bribes. By 1892 it
emerged that 150 French deputies had been bribed into voting for
the allocation financial aid to the Panama Canal Company, and in
February 1893 Lesseps, his son Charles (b. 1849), and a number
of others faced trial and were found guilty. Lesseps was ordered
to pay a fine and serve a prison sentence, but the latter was
overturned by the Cour de Cassation on the grounds that it had
been more than three years since the crime was committed.
Ultimately, in 1904 the United States bought out the assets of
the Company and resumed work.
In 1869, he married his second wife, Mlle Autard de Bragard
(daughter of a former magistrate of Mauritius) and eleven out of
his twelve children of this marriage survived him.
de Lesseps died at La Chenaie on the December 7, 1894. He was
buried in the Le Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
His name was used in a speech by Egyptian President Gamal Nasser
as the codeword to order the raiding of the Suez Canal Company's
offices on July 26, 1956, the first step to its nationalisation.

30 Jan 2008Our heroes
Thom Yorke of Radiohead was one of the special guests and the topic of conversation turned to In Rainbows and the manner of its release on the internet as an official pay-as-much-or-as-little-as-you-like download. Ross said how much he liked the disc box version (the 40 pound-odd all-formats version with full packaging) and remarked how it reminded him of "the good old days of Factory Records who always used to come up with loads of extra bits and pieces". To which Thom Yorke replied "They're our heroes, Factory, and Warp Records".

In the grey days of late 1970s post-punk Manchester, youth culture was a serious affair: every musical performance was measured mostly by the conviction of its delivery. The term 'New Wave' opened up free vistas where acquired skills could once again be exercised after punk's monochrome blur. It could be applied to anything from a James 'Blood' Ulmer record to the latest Throbbing Gristle release, Magazine to Swell Maps. Move outside that terrain into Sun Ra, Parliament, Frank Sinatra and Martin Denny, and your options were suddenly without limit...
Then came Tony Wilson's Factory Club (at the Russell Club in Hulme) offering an open invitation to experiment that was taken up when Ken Hollings, Howard Walmsley, Eddie Sherwood and a few others decided to make some noise to accompany their 16mm silent epic Biting Tongues. A further performance followed a few weeks later, when Colin Seddon and Graham Massey disbanded their Post Natals project and joined up. The film itself, a flashing series of negative images, became a memory; the name remained.

Haaapppppppppppppppy Saturday! Today's post is going to be short and sweet, because Goosie Mama and I are together at the beach and Must. Get. Tan. This week we have received two books for review. Thanks go to Tygna's Reviews to for hosting Stacking the Shelves, highlighting the newest books on our shelves each week. What did you get?
Out in September is Leila Sales' This Song Will Save Your Life: A Novel.
Making friends has never been Elise Dembowski's strong suit. All throughout her life, she's been the butt of every joke and the outsider in every conversation. When a final attempt at popularity fails, Elise nearly gives up. Then she stumbles upon a warehouse party where she meets Vicky, a girl in a band who accepts her; Char, a cute, yet mysterious disc jockey; Pippa, a carefree spirit from England; and most importantly, a love for DJing.
Told in a refreshingly genuine and laugh-out-loud funny voice, THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE is an exuberant novel about identity, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together (GoodReads).
The second book is The Golden Day by Ursula Dubosarsky. This is going to be creepy and great, and I know it reminds me of some old movie....I will try to remember by the time I post a review. It is due out August 6th!
When their teacher goes missing during an outing, eleven girls grapple with the aftermath in this haunting, exquisitely told psychological mystery.
The Vietnam War rages overseas, but back at home, in a year that begins with the hanging of one man and ends with the drowning of another, eleven schoolgirls embrace their own chilling history when their teacher abruptly goes missing on a field trip. Who was the mysterious poet they had met in the Garden? What actually happened in the seaside cave that day? And most important — who can they tell about it? In beautifully shimmering prose, Ursula Dubosarsky reveals how a single shared experience can alter the course of young lives forever. Part gripping thriller, part ethereal tale of innocence lost, The Golden Day is a poignant study of fear and friendship, and of what it takes to come of age with courage (GoodReads).
Three twenty-something urbanites reading, discussing and pointing out the crazy that is young adult fiction (and sometimes real people lit, too).
(and sometimes real people lit, too).

Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset (13 August 1662 – 2 December 1748), sometimes referred to as the "Proud Duke", was a British peer. The son of Charles Seymour, 2nd Baron Seymour of Trowbridge, and Elizabeth Alington (1635–1692), he succeeded his brother Francis Seymour, 5th Duke of Somerset, in the dukedom when the latter was shot in 1678. He also inherited the title of Baron Seymour of Trowbridge.Charles was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1682 he married a great heiress, Elizabeth Percy, daughter of Joceline Percy, 11th Earl of Northumberland, who brought him immense estates, including Alnwick Castle, Petworth House, Syon House and Northumberland House in London. In 1683, Somerset received an appointment in the king's household, and two years later a colonelcy of dragoons; but at the Glorious Revolution he bore arms for the Prince of Orange. Having befriended Princess Anne in 1692, he became a favourite of hers after her accession to the throne, receiving the post of Master of the Horse in 1702. Finding himself neglected by Marlborough, he made friends with the Tories, and succeeded in retaining the queen's confidence, while his wife replaced the Duchess of Marlborough as Mistress of the Robes in 1711. The Duchess became the Queen's closest confidante, causing Jonathan Swift to direct at her a violent satire, The Windsor Prophecy, in which he accused her of murdering her previous husband, Thomas Thynne. The Duchess retained her influence even after the Queen, following a quarrel, dismissed the Duke as Master of the Horse in 1712.In the memorable crisis when Anne was at the point of death, Somerset acted with Argyll, Shrewsbury and other Whig nobles who, by insisting on their right to be present in the Privy Council, secured the Hanoverian succession to the Crown.He retained the office of Master of the Horse under George I until 1716, when he was dismissed and retired to private life; he died at Petworth on 2 December 1748. The duke's first wife having died in 1722, he married secondly, in 1726, Charlotte, daughter of the 2nd Earl of Nottingham. He was a remarkably handsome man, and inordinately fond of taking a conspicuous part in court ceremonial; his vanity, which earned him the sobriquet of "the proud duke," was a byword among his contemporaries and was the subject of numerous anecdotes; Macaulay's description of him as "a man in whom the pride of birth and rank amounted almost to a disease," is well known.The Duke was a founding governor of the Foundling Hospital in London, 1739, the country's first and only children's home for foundlings (abandoned children).

This week I've returned to reality and in earnest started planning the courses I'm going to teach for the next eight or nine months. And I'm glad to say that I'm enjoying it! Getting up earlier in the morning, having meals at regular hours, working, feeling useful and purposeful. It suits me.
I finished the Alabama Chanin fitted top that I prepared the fabric for earlier in this post. With a few changes to the pattern it fits me well, and I'm all set for something more decorative next time. Appliqué, reverse appliqué, dimensional appliqué, couched... I haven't yet decided what to do for my next A.C. project, but I know it's going to be fun. Here's the finished top:
I've also done a little drawing and painting for Melanie Testa's workshop Dream Journals (you can still register). Head over to Flickr, if you're curious. Here's another fun little project I did this evening. I've been trying to find a brush stand like the one Melanie uses in her teaching videos, but without success. Then a friend told me that I could probably make one myself easily with oven-bake clay. Duh, why didn't I think of that? So here it is, my brand new brush stand in one of my favourite colours:
It's very simply constructed of seven rolls of clay that are stacked. I baked it upside down with kebeb skewers as support, to make sure it wouldn't sag in the oven:
That was a great little project. Brought out the inner kindergartener in me, and that's always satisfying.
Thanks for visiting and see you again soon I hope! - Annika

Rated 2 out of 5 by AngieS from Fell off my bracelet I loved this when I bought it. The colors are more muted in person, which was ok for my taste. I loved the clip, but just noticed today that the clip is missing from my bracelet. Such a bummer! I wanted to replace it, but I see other reviews saying theirs fell off as well. I really want another one, but I don't want to waste buying another one if it'll fall off too.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tori1234 from Maulfunctioning!! I got 2 for a graduation present along with a bracelet and other charms, not even a month after having them, one fell off, I thought okay maybe is fought on something I didn't notice something simple that was my mistake, I ordered one more to replace the one I lost and a day later it fell off, so I'm back at just one heart, I was extremely careful with them because 50$ is a lot for a tiny heart.

Audrey Hepburn. Ever since I was a small child I have adored this Hollywood sensation. Her timeless, simple, elegant, and signature style has always fascinated me. My favourite outfit was always her day scene get-up in Rome in her role as Princess Ann in Roman Holiday. I just loved the crisp, button-down white shirt with the striped necktie and belted skirt. It seemed like the perfect outfit for a princess in disguise. The pastel outfits of Paris When it Sizzles provided a shift from her usual colour scheme, and she looked fantastic in them! And I could never forgot the all-black outfit she donned in the nightclub scene in Paris in Funny Face. She sure can pull off the turtle neck! Her style is simple, chic and absolutely timeless, and that famous pixi-cut of hers always won me over. Here are some of my favourite Audrey looks:
1. Roman Holiday
2. Funny Face
3. Sabrina
4. Breakfast at Tiffany's
5. Paris When it Sizzles

The Des Moines Register: "Harassment, hate speech reported across Iowa week after election". CNN: "'Make America White Again' Hate speech and crimes post-election". New York Times: "Donald Trump Is Making America Meaner". Every major news outlet has noticed that something is happening to our country. Almost every state is reporting a spike in hate crime. For some reason, America is getting meaner. Since Trump's step into the political sphere, there has been a shift in what some people deem morally acceptable. People now feel that whatever violent and hateful feelings they harbor at home, they now are allowed to act upon publicly. CNN has reported incidents happening in every facet of daily life. An Uber driver was verbally assaulted and followed in New York City. Swastikas and "Go Trump" were spray painted on the playground of a park in Brooklyn.
Reported by the New York Times, in the middle of a high school class, white students began chanting at their latino classmates, "Build a Wall! Build a Wall!" All three of these articles blame Trump, how he has conducted his presidential campaign, and his eventual victory, for what seems like a moral shift for our country.
Nicholas Kristof, from the New York Times, writes:
"But Trump's harsh rhetoric tears away the veneer of civility and betrays our national motto of 'e pluribus unum.' He has unleashed a beast and fed its hunger, and long after this campaign is over we will be struggling to corral it again" (Kristof).
Our motto, "Out of many, one" can be interpreted in many ways but today it is commonly understood as: out of many races, cultures, ethnicities, religious backgrounds, emerges a single nation. For there to be a melting pot of so many different people, civility is demanded. Durkheim, using his analysis of religion and the power of the collective, would understand the grandeur of the mighty beast that is before us. His analysis of society and its moral hold on the individual will further our knowledge of the current situation and instill in us the necessity for a solid and consistent social force.
Throughout the text we can find many instances in which Durkheim's descriptions of a collective's behavior sound very similar to that of Trump supporters or protestors in general.
"The effervescence often becomes so intense that it leads to outlandish behavior; the passions unleashed are so torrential that nothing can hold them" (Durkheim 218).
Durkheim highlights the overpowering force and effect of the collective on individuals. This statement reinforces the idea that the passions of individuals, when gathered into a collective, are uncontrollable. He writes, "Probably because a collective emotion cannot be expressed collectively without some order that permits harmony and unison of movement, these gestures and cries tend to fall into rhythm and regularity, and from there into songs and dances. But in taking on a more regular form, they lost none of their natural fury. A regulated commotion is still a commotion" (Durkheim 218). He describes the "collective emotion" as so powerful that it even inspires songs and dances.
Durkheim also discusses the false feelings of autonomy that people feel from being part of a collective.
"A person is not only a singular subject that is distinguished from all the others. It is, in addition and most of all, a being to which a relative autonomy is imputed in relation to the milieu with which it interacts most directly" (Durkheim 274).
Relative autonomy is the only form of autonomy a person has. No one is capable of gaining full autonomy because we will never have complete control of our body and how our senses perceive things. Thus, we only gain autonomy when participating in the collective. Only then are we involved in something that requires us to make decisions. It is the feeling of autonomy given by the collective that perhaps makes some feel that they have dominance over others when participating in a group that preaches such ideas. So, our own perceptions of autonomy dominate us.
But Durkheim also argues that we have little control over ourselves.
"The only means we have of liberating ourselves from physical forces is to oppose them with collective forces" (Durkheim 274).
We are held captive in our own bodies, unable to control how we perceive things.
"Passion individualizes and yet enslaves" (Durkehim 275).
Our passions stem from our desires and senses, our bodily instincts, which we have no control over. And while it is our passions that differentiates each of us from one another, our passions also prove that we are dominated by ourselves.
"Society requires us to make ourselves its servants, forgetful of our own interests" (209).
Basically, no matter where we turn, we are being dominated by a force far greater than ourselves or the collectives we participate in. Unable to exist outside of our bodies or a collective, we have no choice but to becomes servants to our own selves and our "clans."
Yet, in other ways, we are freed by both ourselves and the collective. Just as our passions individualize us, so does the clan individuate us. We gain morals and values and a sense of purpose from being a part of the collective and so it becomes a necessity for us all. But when does the collective allow itself to be overpowered by an individual? How is it that the morals of one can permeate through and change those of an entire group?
In class, we discussed the Blueberry Dilemma: if you were to drive by an unmanned blueberry stand, would you leave the appropriate amount of money for the produce you took or not? We concluded that ultimately it came down to a question of morality, and morality is largely dictated by the collective. Society wouldn't be able to organize and function without certain moral expectations in place. Various societies have different standards for what is right and wrong, indicating that our individual moralities are actually concepts imposed by the collective.
Therefore, when society changes, morality also changes, as well as individual action. Trump supporters becoming more brazen and violent is an example of this phenomenon. Before Trump' vitriolic campaign, hate crimes and racist graffiti would have been outwardly condemned. It still is, by many people, but the fact of the matter is that with a candidate that so vehemently preaches discrimination, his supporters have become emboldened. The Office of the President is powerful and public; in a way, it represents society. So now our society is changing, and standards of morality are sure to change with it.
Ultimately, morality stems from the duality of man. Durkheim states in the introduction:
"Man is double. In him are two beings: an individual being that has its basis in the body and whose sphere of action is strictly limited by this fact, and a social being that represents within us the highest reality in the intellectual and moral realm that is knowable through observation: I mean society… As part of society, the individual naturally transcends himself, both when he thinks and when he acts" (Durkheim 15-16).
The double nature of man mirrors not only the duality of the profane and sacred and of empirical and collective knowledge, but also that of the body and the soul. The soul within each man is a "portion of the group's collective soul" (Durkheim 267), which grants a sacred aspect to a man's being. The sacred aspect, which Durkheim calls "a parcel of divinity" (Durkheim 267), endows man with a sense of morality. One may think that possessing a soul liberates man, yet the collective soul and the resulting morality weaken an individual man's autonomy. Durkheim states that the soul "dominates the body" and that each social being lives with "a relative autonomy" (Durkheim 274). In fact, the only way in which a man can become a person is to possess a body that differentiates him from others and a collective "spiritual principle, of which individual souls are made" (Durkheim 273). Without the collective, a man cannot have an individual soul and therefore he cannot become a person. However, as part of the collective, man does not have full autonomy – he is dominated by what the collective deems morally acceptable. In current American society there are multiple broad collectives, such as the Democratic and Republican parties. Recently, the collective soul of the Republican Party has shifted. This is most visible in the fact that many individuals within the Republican collective have displayed radically altered views of what is moral. Moreover, these people are not fully autonomous. They are dominated by the soul of the collective in which they belong and they act accordingly. That is why Trump, as the leader of the Republican collective has had such a profound effect on the behavior of individuals throughout the United States.
Sorry this topic was a little heavier than usual! We'll be back with more gifs soon.
Until next time, good reader.

There is always atleast one major change every year that shakes the scene. This year's major drama unfolds in a rather spectacular way.
The CS:GO roster of Entity Gaming will be playing under the banner of Eternal Esports, effective 1st November, 2017.
Entity Gaming has been the single-most dominant team of India for quite some time now. After completing a few tournaments that Entity is participating in right now, such as ZOWIE eXTREMESLAND Shanghai Championship and ESL India Premiership Fall Finale, the team will start playing under the Eternal Esports banner.
The new roster for Eternal Esports will now be:
- Tejas 'Ace' Sawant
- Ayush 'astaRRRR' Deora
- Ishpreet 'HuntR' Singh
- Bharat 'RibbiZ' Reddy
- Karan 'Excali' Mhaswadkar
The previous lineup of Eternal Esports was:
- Bhavin 'Hellranger' Kotwani
- Vivek 'Shabby' Patel
- Shailesh 'Blackhawk' Dalvi
- Anuj 'Amaterasu' Sharma
- Sabyasachi 'antidote' Bose
Gautam Mengi, CEO of Eternal Esports, gave the following statement:
"It was a mutual decision by the players of Entity. Obviously the organization didn't want the players to leave but the players saw Eternal as a better opportunity for the bigger picture. As I had clearly mentioned that I would be looking for players who could give 8-10 hours to this game. Bhavin 'Hellranger' Kotwani and boys gave their best shot, they could have done better with proper practice and dedication towards the game. I wish them the best for their future endeavors. As far as the new squad is concerned, there is no doubt that they're the best in the Indian Subcontinent right now. As of now we have only one goal that has brought us together which is to make a mark in the international CS:GO Scene."
While nobody from Entity Gaming was available to give a comment, Sid Joshi, their manager, did post a not so cryptic statement on his facebook profile:
Sid Joshi's post on his facebook timeline
While the position of the old Eternal lineup is unsure, Sabyasachi 'antidote' Bose has currently found his place in the Kolkata based JMD Gaming.
Their roster is as follows:
- Gurtej 'Proud' Singh
- Kashef 'Screamy1tap' Ahmed
- Debanjan 'DeathMaker' Das
- Sagnik 'HellfightR' Roy
- Sabyasachi 'antidote' Bose
- Arnab 'Fules' Roy

Info: o.ccult is a collaboration between electronic design and lo-fi songwriting.Chen Firsel & AMO collaborated first as part of experimental-psych outfit Memory in Plant back in 2014. At the beginning of 2016 the two started this new and minimalistic project. This is their child.
I've had the pleasure of listening to and reviewing the music of Amo and Chen Firsel over the last few years, between Memory in Plant, what seems like an age ago, both of their solo work, and featuring three of the singles from Same since the beginning of the year when o.ccult kicked off for the first time. The Israeli pair have come out on top though with this six-track extended play, it's modern, adventurous and exactly what a fan of downtempo electronic music yearns for.
From opening track 'I was of' with it's organ-like drone, the scene is set, electronic beats and clicks rattle feverishly, almost attacking the despondent vocals like anti-bodies swarming bacteria, a tunnel of calm weaves its way cautiously through the sonic snaps, and it's quite beautiful.
'Free' is a mesmeric and wonderful highlight on the EP, in my previous review back in January I wrote; "The synth progressions are dark and wholesome, adding to an already enjoyably mellow and haunting track...The lyrics are also both poetic and very visual; 'Up, in the air, pulled apart by ghosts, pulled apart by ghosts, There in heaven, or hell, or whatever, or whatever, who wants to plant, a little red flower?'"
The nonchalance of that final line encapsulating much of the mood across the six tracks, a disconnected ambivalence. After the spritely moods of 'Elephant', o.ccult swoop into a hardcore industrial 80's electronic mode on 'Robots', it's like Moog central sucked through a cosmic vacuum and as the track reaches the two minute mark all heaven and hell break loose in an exhilirating cacophany of chaos and carnage.
Their psychedelic roots sparkle through on the strange curio that is 'hell.mary', which features additional vocals from Sarai Darmon, a throwback to late 60's psych-garage with a modern twist. We close with a track simply named after the duo's musical project itself, it's quite Aphex Twin in delivery, and this is something that briefly reared it's head earlier in the EP. It has all the hallmarks of a dystopian sci-fi soundtrack, a lone figure in the distance on a desolate and barren planet far from home. This is something that's key across Same, it is at times challenging, but incredibly visual and most importantly, extremely rewarding.

Things You Will Need
- Moisture resistant drywall
- Drywall square
- Tape measure
- Utility knife
- Drywall screws
- Drywall mud
- Joint tape
- Drywall knife
- Pole sander
- Broom
- Vacuum
- Latex paint
- Long-handled paint roller
Pink (or fiberglass) insulation is the most common insulating material used in construction in the US. Stapling fiberglass insulation under suspended floors protects them from drafts and also shares its insulating properties with the room below by holding heat in.
While a drop ceiling is one common option for basement ceilings, it is far from the only option. Standard drywall products are too susceptible to moisture for humid applications, like in a basement.
Moisture resistant drywall products designed for bath and kitchen provide an inexpensive solution when you cannot install a drop ceiling.
- Pull any old nails, screws or unused hardware hanging from the bottom of the ceiling joists. Tack any loose insulation up with a standard staple gun and 5/8-inch staples. Measure the distance from center to center of your ceiling joists, they will either be 16 (most common) or 24 inches (in much older homes) apart.
- Position the first sheet of moisture resistant drywall—the name will differ from brand to brand (Durock is one common brand)—in one corner of the ceiling, with its long edge parallel to the ceiling joists. If the long edge that is away from the wall does not end in the center of a joist, as often happens, cut enough from the opposite long edge, along the wall, to position it in the center of a joist, using a drywall square and a utility knife. Position the square, score the drywall with the knife and break the piece off, by grabbing the edge and pressing firmly away from the scored side.
- Cut enough sheets to width to fill the stretch along the wall to the opposite end of the room. Mark each piece of drywall with a chalk-line where the center of each joist will be for screw placement. Screw each piece in place using 1 5/8 inch drywall screws every 10 inches down the long edges and along the chalk lines you marked.
- Add the next piece end to end with the first and screw it in place. Add drywall to the end of the run, measuring and cutting the last piece as needed to fit the length to the wall. Add another row against this row, with its edge butted up along the side. Continue measuring, cutting pieces to fit and installing until the ceiling is completely filled in.
- Apply drywall mud with a 6-inch mud knife to the valleys between the long ends of the pieces and in the seams between the butt ends of the pieces. Work a strip of 2-inch drywall tape into the mud along each joint. Smooth the tape into the mud with the edge of the knife. Apply a second coat of mud over the tape and smooth it flush with the surface of the drywall. Fill screw holes with mud as well.
- Allow the mud to dry overnight. Sand the surface smooth with a pole sander and fine-grit sandpaper. Sweep and vacuum up the dust. Roll on a coat of flat, interior, latex paint in your choice of colors, using a long handled roller.

If you suffer from any of a variety of physical ailments, you may benefit from physical therapy specialists in orange county.A physical therapist can help you improve the range of motion of a joint after surgery, in cases of arthritis, and after periods of inactivity. Or the goal of physical therapy may also be pain reduction. Many people who have been addicted to pain medications find relief with physical therapy and are able to quit their medications. And, for example, if a patient has a back problem that may require surgery the surgeon will often send the person for physical therapy and if pain reduction is achieved the patient avoids a painful and costly operation.
A mainstay of physical therapy is patient education. Once a physical therapy regime has improved a back or joint problem the physical therapist educates his or her patients so that they can manage their own pain or mobility issues with a home regime and only occasional visits to the therapist.
On the first patient visit, the physical therapist carries out a thorough and comprehensive exam. Then he or she set up a treatment program using both passive and active exercises. Typical goals are to reduce pain and to improve joint, back or neck range of motion. The treatment plan always includes patient education so that eventually the person can take care of most of their issues without continual professional help.
Many people first see a physical therapist in a hospital setting but these licensed professionals work in outpatient clinics, wellness centers, sports medicine facilities, nursing homes and in workplace settings.
The goal of physical therapy is not only to treat but to prevent problems. Passive treatment methods include massage, electrical stimulation ultrasound, phonophoresis, and application of light and heat. Virtually always passive therapies are combined with and eventually replaced by active exercise regimes.
The medical disciplines which require the assistance of a physical therapist include orthopedics, neurology, geriatrics, pediatrics and cardiopulmonary medicine. When a patient has an active disease and is under the direct care of a physician the physical therapist works closely with the patient's doctor to achieve improvement of cure of the patient's condition. The desired end result may be full recovery after hand surgery or it may be pain reduction and reduction or avoidance of strictures in the case of paralysis of the extremities after a stroke.
Sports medicine is an arena in which the physical therapist deals with basically healthy athletes to help them recover from minor injuries or deal with the wear and tear of their sport later in their career.
You may hear the term physiotherapist instead of a physical therapist. They are basically the same.
The following are some of the issues that physical therapists are licensed to do:
Formulate a diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan
Carry out comprehensive examination of the patient
Evaluate the findings of the extermination/intervention and making clinical judgment to help the patient
Offer consultation with the client on their expertise and suggest whether or not they need to seek a second opinion
Implement the physical therapy treatment program
Give recommendations to the client on self-management
Benefits of Physical Therapy
Helps to maximize movement
Avoids opioids such as depression, addiction, and overdose
Hastens recovery
Helps to avoid surgery
Physical therapy is of great importance in the life of an individual with an illness, injury or disorder. It sees the patients through all the stages in the healing process from the time of diagnosis all through the recovery period until there is stability. This is because it works to reduce or stop the pain, prevent surgery, prevent falls, facilitate recovery, improve stability and manage age-related problems based on the reason for the treatment.
Physical therapists work hand in hand with their partners to enhance mobility and prevent disability before it occurs. This is made a success by drafting programs aimed at facilitating a healthy living such as identifying a specific exercise for an exact problem in question. Moreover, they guide patients in ideal ways to prevent and control certain conditions hence promoting a healthy lifestyle for them.

Ive been testing both the old CMPS on 3.8 and the new vB CMS on 4.0 and don't get me wrong its a great step n the right direction. But i cant imagine ill be replacing my Homepage with the new CMS anytime soon. vBa is so much more dynamic and a solid product. I cant wait to see what Brian has in mind for his product on the 4.0 platform. Drag and Drop functionality is just one bonus. vBa is so much more then the new vB CMS.
vB CMS Widgets vs vBa Modules.
Exporting modules is easy with vBa and as far as i can tell isn't passable to do with vB widgets. Again the vBa system wins hands down. Just adding a widget in the vB CMS is nearly imposable to figure out. (i still haven't figured out how to add my own videos without overwriting the examples) Nothing user friendly inside the ACP of the vB CMS.
Do you want to make your own Custom pages? hands down this is much easier to achieve with vBa's CMPS then with the vB CMS.
These are of course just my opinions of the two products. I'm not dissing vB i love there products also. But i feel that if your looking to replace vBa with the new vB CMS you might regret this decision. I for one will be keeping vBa CMPS, Dynamics and Links when they become available on the 4.0 platform. CMPS will remain my homepage and the CMS will be a simple article system inside the root. Basically an index to make the vB blogs a better product.
Of course we all have different needs in a CMS so vB CMS may be perfect for you. But there barely a single thing in the vB product i could use as a home page option.
Thanks Brian for making the Best add on product for vB forums there has ever been. vBa is the number one reason i switched from IPB to vB over a year ago. and i haven't looked back since.
