The one thing that rich people buy that the poor and middle class don't9:58:00 PM
The one thing that rich people buy-that the poor and middle class don't
-There might seem to be a lot of differences between the rich, the poor, and the middle class, but what if I told you that there was only one idea that the rich use that the other two do not, that makes all the difference?
|The one thing that rich people buy that the poor and middle class don't
It's so simple but so important that when I finally understood it, it changed my life forever.
I'm going to open your eyes and show you exactly what I mean, and you'll see why the rich get richer, the poor get poorer,
and the middle class are getting squeezed out.
It's not about what they do, but what they BUY.
I want to make this as simple as I can, but to start, I want to give you a few definitions of four important words. When I first heard these, I thought I knew them but it turns out I was wrong.
|Assets Generate Incomes - Liabilities Generate Expenses
The words are:
Income (money you bring in)
Expenses (money you spend)
These two words are used by the rich, poor, and middle class, but it's these next two that I thought I knew, but blew my mind:
Liabilities (something that costs you)
Assets (something that pays you)
Before, I thought an asswet was something you own, like a house, a car, or something expensive.
But the rich have different definition of Assets, and this is the one we'll be working with:
"Something that pays you"
Usually, people call their house an asset, and if you ask an accountant, they'll tell you it is, but if you use these definitions,
it can also be a liability, right?
A house you own but live in COSTS you money, so it's a liability.
BUT, a house that you rent to other people and make money from is an asset.
So, a quick review:
Income: money you make
Expenses: money you spend
Liability: costs you money
Assets: pays you money
So, I mentioned that there was a simple idea that seperated the rich, poor and middle class, and it's all wrapped up in what they do with their money when they get paid.
The poor take their money and buy... DOODADS.. They buy shoes, and ringtones,
and mountain dew, and chotchkes, and blu-rays, and clothes and TVs and games and a bunch of STUFF that they found for
cheap-maybe ata a flea market, garage sale, dollar store, or Walmart.
Their houses are cluttered with junk, but it was al "just a buck!" or "inexpensive thingys". Their cars are full of junk, garages, etc.
They take their money from their income, and spend it through their EXPENSES each month. Right out the door, as fast as it came in.
It's easy to fall into this trap because everywhere we look there are things to buy!
It makes the world go 'round, but the problem is that after years of working, they hav enothing to show for it because all the "little thingys" add up.
I was born with this idea, and for a long time, that's what I thought you should do with money- Spend it!
I had heard of "saving", but even then, I was saving it to buy something "BIG".
The problem is that the poor never let their money create more money.
This isn't a character flaw, and it's not "wrong", it's just that it keeps the poor on a terrible cycle that is very hard to escape from. You have to be willing to learn and challenge.
I was willing, and I learned that creating wealth is not a big secret...
It's a Recipe.
The only reason someone doesn't create wealth is because they don't know the recipe, don't want to know the recipe, or never use the recipe.
|Dollar $ Sign
I have never baked cupcakes because I never learned, never had the recipe, and never tried to bake them.
It's not enough to get the recipe, you actually have to COOK!
-So let's talk about the middle class now.
Some people in the middle class think they are rich, because they might make a good salary at a good job.
Maybe they make a six figure income, but what they buy with that money is what keeps them stuck in the middle class.
Instead of buying little inexpensive thingys, the middle class buy LIABILITIES.
Remember I said that a liability is something that costs you?
Well, the middle class buy things like big houses, nice cars, vacations, and pay for them on credit thaty they pay for every month.
Each month it's a new thing, but it just adds a little bit to the monthly bills or expenses.
For example, let's say someone in the middle class makes $15,000
They pay their monthly expenses like the mortgage (or rent on a fancy apartment) and food and lifestyle with $7000, but then a car
costs $7000 down and a few hundred a month, then a watch that costs a little bit per month, a vacation that costs a little bit per month, etc. etc.
Until they are living on the credit card that they pay a part of every month.
After a while, their monthly debts cath up to their monthly income, and then they are trapped with what I've heard called "Golden Shackles".
They keep buying LIABILITIES that cost them every month, and then they are trapped by the very things they bought to make them happy.
Now, they are stressed out because they HAVE to make more money next year for the kids schools, or the next vacation, or whatever. And they put THOSE liabilities on the credit card.
The poor and the middle class get trapped because they also get into a situation where the only way they make money is by trading their TIME for it.
Either their body or their knowledge get traded for the money they make, and there are only 24 hours in a day.
Whether you make $10 an hour, or $1000 an hour, you still have to trade that hour for it.
A fast food worker still has to serve food, a dentist still has to see patients.
This is when the 2nd job comes into play.
It's a short-term band-aid to a long-term problem, because there are only so many hours in the day.
Often these people end up being workaholics, waking up just to go to work and pay bills.
And before I continue, I want you to know that you can make a lot of money, but still be a poor person because of how you spend it.
But here's the critical difference for the wealthy.
Instead of buying stuff and liabilities with their money, the wealthy... Buy ASSETS.
ASSETS (something that pays you)
This blew my mind when I heard it because I had no idea that you could even do that... BUY something that PAYS YOU?
It made no sense at first, so I chose to keep learning.
Here's what I found out:
The wealthy buy assets. These assets pay them money, which they use to buy more assets which makes them MORE money.
The ASSETS make them money instead of their TIME.
Here are a couple of assets that you might have heard of:
1. Stocks
2. Bonds
3. Real Estate
Now when I heard this, I said "Oh! Investing- of course they buy 'investments'- duh!"
And the person who taught me this asked me "What is an investment?"
and I said "Well, it's something you buy, and then you hope it goes up in value, and then you sell it for more money...right?"
And he said... NO.
That's TRADING. That's GAMBLING. And that's what the poor and middle class think investing is. They are wrong.
Then he asked me- would you like to know how RICH people define investing?
And I said YES!
And he said- "I already told you:
They BUY ASSETS".
Instead of buying something that you HOPE goes up in value after time goes by, the rich buy ASSETS that pay them NOW.
You see, they buy stocks that pay a dividend- it pay them money every month.
They buy bonds that pay them every month
They buy real estate that PAYS them every month.
Like I said before, not a house you live in, hoping it goes up in value in ten years,
but a house that you RENT OUT NOW to people who pay you every month.
But there were two other kinds of assets that I want to talk about now:
EDUCATION can be kind of asset if you learn how to do something and you can use it to make more money.
There's an old saying "If you think education is expensive you should see how expensive ignorance is" but where the rich really make the difference is when they buy or create an asset that is a BUSINESS.
Especially a business that can create passive income.
When you can build up a business to where it pays you even after you stop working it, then you have a true asset.
It's what the real wealthy people do, and it doesn't have to be some "multi-national corporation".
If you have a vending machine in a place with a lot of traffic, people buy the candy, and you just collect the money.
Sure, you might pay for the candy, and for someone to restock it, but all you do is get the machine, and get the money, and then buy another machine. And then get the money, and buy another machine. Over and Over.
Warren buffet did this with old pinball machines... now he's one of the wealthiest people on the planet.
He started with pinball machines, and now he buys big businesses that pay him monthly.
If you, (LIKE ME) feel excited now that you've learned this, then here's where YOU come in.
Years ago, I came across these ideas when I was working a day job.
I am an software engineer, and you've seen me on internet now, but back then I was just working to pay the bills.
I got jobs answering phones, temping, whatever, doing things just for money, so I could pay bills on liabilities and STUFF that I had bought.
Then someone shared these ideas with me, and I wanted a change enough that I chose to keep learning.
Now things are entirely different.
I spend my time doing what I want to do, I've been on adventures, I've written books, I've coded some softwares, and and I decided to take action when I had the chance to build up a passive income business online.
An online Asset. Kind of an online vending machine (if that makes sense)
I took some of the money I made from that ASSET, and bought more assets in the form of education, so I could LEARN MORE and take MORE action, and build MORE online vending machines.
I started telling people about what I had learned, but I found that you can't understand any of this stuff unless you're looking for solution,
you're open to hearing one, and feel excited about the idea.
When I was poor, spending all my money and time on stupid STUFF, I was open when someone asked me if I wanted to make some more money. I answered a very hype-filled ad, was willing to research,
take action, and it changed my life forever.
So, on the next page is a passive income business ASSET that I use to make money with.
The poor buy STUFF
The middle class buy LIABILITIES
The wealthy buy ASSETS
Preferably businesses that PAY YOU money then take that money and buy another asset that produces more mone.
That's the recipe for wealth.
I really hope that you learned a few things from this article, and you choose to join us now on the next page.

Overall benefit-cost ratio for traffic incident management-oriented ITS program estimated to be 3.16.
Deployment of ITS devices and services in Michigan.
July 31, 2015
Statewide,Michigan,United States
Summary Information
A traffic microsimulation software package was used to quantify benefits from "with/without" ITS scenarios with regards to freeway incident management based on AADT, ITS device density, economic impact, and crash/incident history. This study identified highway segments with the highest potential for positive ITS benefit. The objective of corridor microsimulation was to quantify detailed benefits resulting from MDOT ITS. In this project, the research team selected a sample of representative corridors from each of the three MDOT TOCs. MDOT's incident management programs strive to produce savings in congestion cost, reduce incident duration, reduce motorist delay, and improve safety by minimizing the probability of secondary crash occurrence.
Seven major MDOT freeway corridors were selected for the simulation study. The corridor characteristics under consideration for site selection included AADT, ITS device density, economic impact and crash/incident history. The goal of the study was to choose a representative selection of corridors whose analysis and subsequent results could be transferrable to other corridors statewide.
The overall estimated benefit-cost ratio for ITS deployments in Michigan is 3.16. Specific benefit-cost ratios were developed for four specific ITS devices and services:
- Dynamic message signs, 3.81
- Closed-circuit television, 3.95
- Microwave vehicle detection systems, 1.02
- Freeway courtesy patrol, 3.82

Independent legal support will be provided throughout the inquest process to the relatives of men and women who die during service.
The proposal was welcomed by the families of army personnel who have died in Afghanistan and who described the resulting inquests as "traumatic".
Two full-time lawyers, funded by the British Legion with the help of the MoD, will guide families through the "complex and harrowing" investigation that follows a military death.
Robert Dicketts, whose son Corporal Oliver Dicketts was one of 14 servicemen killed in 2006 when an RAF Nimrod exploded in Afghanistan, said the scheme would better prepare families.
He said: "Inquests are very traumatic. For the first time we heard the first 10 minutes of the flight recorder, just before it went down...It was very upsetting."
Diana Barnes, the widow of Corporal Jason Barnes, who died in Afghanistan in 2008, said: "Military inquests are so complex, you don't really know what to expect. There's a lot of waiting around and not knowing. With Jason's inquest I went into it blind and totally unadvised."
Her husband died when the vehicle he was driving hit an improvised explosive device (IED). He was the last of five soldiers to be killed in a Vector vehicle before it was withdrawn from frontline service because of its vulnerability to IEDs.
Chris Simpkins, director general of the Royal British Legion, said the Independent Inquest Advice scheme would help "bereaved armed forces families to understand, and feel better equipped to deal with, the whole investigation into their loved ones' deaths."
The scheme, which will be trialled for two years, was launched after consultations with bereaved families and the War Widows' Association.

Having personally experienced many challenging relationships, I've identified five factors we can control ourselves that, in my opinion, can make you sink or swim in a relationship. It all starts with you.
Practice makes perfect, and you must start within before you can start anywhere else. These are key factors to a successful relationship that only you can have an effect on.
1. Your mood
The fact is: no one enjoys a Debbie Downer.
What determines a bad mood in a relationship, or in general? Anger, spite, jealousy, guilt, etc. In our minds, we let these things bother us to the point of breaking down. For many women, our mood can fluctuate in a single instant.
We blame our hormones or "that time of the month" when, in reality, we are in control of what we feel, think and perceive in any situation. Our vibe speaks volumes, and men pick up on that in an instant.
I strongly believe that what we put out into the universe is what we receive back in return. This is stated clearly in The Secret (which is an excellent book or DVD to look into!). What we are, we attract.
There is such a strong emphasis today on beauty, glamour and looking a certain way to get what you want—and get the man you want—but, at the end of the day, it is not just about physical beauty; it's about the vibe we give off that determines whether or not we will attract a healthy and happy love.
I have an extremely difficult time with this, and I have to practice and train every day to be positive and upbeat. Some examples of what I practice are reading personal development books, writing articles, playing with my dog, going for a drink with a friend, taking up a new hobby or interest and volunteering.
I know these sound repetitive and you have heard them all before, but the reality is that a woman who is busy, giving back, learning and growing is much more attractive than a woman who is stagnant, moody and irritable. Read more on youqueen.

During the last few years ITHU – an informal network for IT in higher education – have been working on a proposal to have Sunet get involved in operating Learning Management Systems.
Learning Management Systems (LMS) are core business for most universities and it is only natural that there is significant investment in existing systems and processes. It is not at all obvious that Sunet can add value in this space.
On the other hand there are also several reasons why Sunet should get involved; notably the fact that 15 (about half) of the major educational institutions in Sunet have expressed strong interest in taking part in some form of common LMS platform.
There are relatively few vendors in this space – fewer than 10 in fact. This makes it feasible for Sunet to treat LMS as a normal service establishment process but because an LMS is a substantial investment, such a process would require Sunet and Sunet customers to have a lot more information about business models, pricing levels, service delivery models etc than we have today. Collecting that information probably requires a tender process which requires commitment from our customers – a classic case of catch 22.
However we have recently discovered that our nordic neighbors have identified not only the same need (a common LMS) but also almost all the same key requirements. Under the NORDUnet strategy, this makes it possible for Sunet and our sister organizations in the nordics to conduct a shared framework tender (using a competitive dialogue). This is good news for Sunet customers because it allows us to defer the decision to establish a common LMS platform service to a later stage when we (as the result of the framework process) know more about business models etc.
This is what is happening now:
- Right now Sunet is helping NORDUnet to prepare a joint competitive dialog tender for a framework contract for a SaaS LMS platform that Sunet, Funet, Deic and Uninett can call of in each country. Sunet has made no commitment to sign or call of the contract at this stage and no Sunet customers will be listed on the framework tender. The technical requirements are being developed by a group led by Lars Bourelius (BTH) <lasse.bourelius at bth.se>
- When the framework contract is in place Sunet customers can decide if they want Sunet to call of the framework contract and integrate the SaaS offering with SWAMID to establish a common LMS service for Sunet.
If all fails we have only "wasted" a few hours writing a framework tender. If all goes well we will have the possibility to establish a joint LMS platform in Sunet backed by the shared volume of all the nordic countries. This is nordic collaboration at its best. Stay tuned for more updates and if you have questions, please get in touch

We all like to be in control of our lives and the future. Ideally we would want to predict our future (that's why the astrologers are in business) and navigate and control towards certain outcomes in our lives. But do we really control anything in our lives? Can we control how others respond? Can we create more certainty in our lives by trying harder?
Control – my dear friend is the greatest fallacy there is. So does that mean we are just a puppet in the hands of forces of life? Or is there something we can do to create happiness and good life?
Why is control a losers game?
When it comes to machines there is a great degree of control we can exercise by properly applying scientific principles. We can also to a large degree control our performance in early years – as in when we are school and college and our grades depend mostly on us. As we get older our world gets more complex and our effectiveness starts depending on "interpersonal skills" and what others think of us and how they relate to us. We inadvertently, continue our habit of seeking control and have difficulty dealing with people, as people don't respond like physical things do.
Control of others presupposes we can can understand, analyze, solve the puzzle and hence impact the domain of human behavior. We feel if we can "logically explain" to someone why what they are doing is "not right" that they would change and "do what we think is right". There is no bigger futile exercise than trying to get someone to act a certain way based on logic.
In reality all we control is our "response" "ability". That is, we can not prevent certain things from happening, people from doing what makes sense to them (yes it all makes fair sense to them), people taking their sweet time to respond or change or not change at all.
Our key to happiness is to focus on our own ability to respond to life and life's situation and let go of the rest. This does not mean that we never give advice, or seek anything from anyone, but we need to do that as a process of sharing our truth without getting entangled in the trap of "hoping they would understand". We can also seek to understand the other person's perspective and if it is not practical to find a solution, have the courage to "do what we need to do".
Often we get trapped in the drama and almost love the drama without realizing that in the end it is not adding value to our lives and only weakening quality of our own life. Reminds me of the lyrics of "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls:
"And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive"
Anyhow, back to the topic, we need to realize, that we don't need to participate and get entangled in others self-journey, hangups, or whatever qualities they have. Our work is simple, to tell and live our truth and make choices of how we interact and respond to others based on alignment with who we are.
At the end it is not about logic, right or wrong, but simply about "what works for us" and "what does not work for us". Accepting people as they are and freeing ourselves to do the same way is the best way to be happy.

The Missing Lynx
The San Juan Mountain range has lost yet another endangered lynx. Early in October, a four year old male lynx was killed with a bow and arrow near Silverton. He is just one of many lynx that are unable to survive in their Rocky Mountain home.
The last native lynx died in the Colorado Rockies around 1973, but in the past decade officials have released over 200 cats from Canada in a precarious reintroduction program. The lynx have been struggling to survive due to climate problems, habitat destruction, and, occasionally, illegal hunting.
While lynx are federally protected, their close cousins the bobcats are not. Lynx and bobcats look very similar, especially from a distance, but there are a few key characteristics that distinguish them. Lynx are larger, with longer, solid grey fur. Bobcats are more colorful; their coats are a reddish-grey color, and have more prominent spots. Lynx have shorter tails than the bobcat's, and are not striped. Unfortunately, the most distinguishing features of the lynx, the black ear tufts, are difficult to see unless you're right up next to them.
Lynx are also facing difficulties due to climate change. Warmer temperatures at higher altitudes, paired with decreased precipitation, means snow cover is shallower. The lynx prey almost entirely on snowshoe hares, and are perfectly adapted to hunt the animals through deep snow drifts. However, as snow depth decreases, the hares are unable to hide from competing predators. As a result, opportunistic predators such as coyotes easily snatch up the prey, leaving lynx to starve. Survival rates for lynx are alarmingly low. In Canada, where lynx are relatively numerous, up to 80 percent do not live longer than 3 years. It may not be a problem for the natural lynx in Canada, but it's a huge problem for those in our San Juan Mountains.
Lynx already struggle to survive; the least we can do is ensure we do not directly contribute to their deaths. Just by learning the differences between lynx and bobcats, and not shooting when in doubt, hunters can play their part in protecting the beautiful Rocky Mountain lynx.

This project explores the racial stereotypes of Chinese-Canadians, with a focus on the restaurant industry as a place where culture is shared, consumed, and appropriated. Through a variety of approaches that address both personal and societal aspects, each work speaks to a different issue regarding the lived experiences of Chinese-Canadians. By appropriating the vernacular forms of the Chinese restaurant, familiar objects and scenes are recontextualized to encourage viewers to question their beliefs. The overall aim of this project is to deconstruct misconceptions of what it means to be Chinese in Canada.

Show Luv to the Guvs Who Stood Up for Healthcare
"While we certainly agree that reforms need to be made to our nation's health care system, as Governors from both sides of the political aisle, we feel that true and lasting reforms are best approached by finding common ground in a bipartisan fashion."
Seven bi-partisan governors wrote in their letter to Senators McConnell and Schumer. This week, all-of-us must thank the governors who spoke out against Trump(Don't)Care, and to ask our own Governor to step up if they haven't. It's not easy to oppose a President who revels in punishing his enemies – like steering infrastructure funding to states whose governors stayed quiet or support the AHCA. We need to make sure these governors know we have their backs and ask them to have ours.
Here's how all-of-us can show some Guv Luv:
- Read about how bi-partistan governors are stepping up around the country and why it matters here. (5 minutes).
- No matter what state you are in, call Governor McAuliffe (Virginia) and Governor Baker (Massachusetts) who lead the National Governors Association (NGA) and thank them for their letter to Senator McConnell insisting states have more time to review the impact of the bill.
- Call your Governor. Find contact information, your Governor's position and a script below:

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Chunar
CHUNAR, or Chunarghur, a town and ancient fortress of India, in the district of Mirzapur, in the United Provinces, situated on the south bank of the Ganges. Pop. (1901) 9926. The fort occupies a conspicuous site on the summit of an abrupt rock which commands the river. It was at one time a place of great strength, and still contains a magazine, and is fortified with batteries. In the old citadel on the height, the remains of a Hindu palace with some interesting carvings indicate the former importance of the place. The town, which consists of one or two straggling streets, contains a handsome English church. Chunar is first mentioned in the 16th century, when in possession of Sing Joanpore. In 1530 it became the residence of Shere Shah the Afghan, and forty-five years later was recovered by the emperor Akbar after sustaining a siege of six months. It fell into the hands of the English under General Carnac in 1763 after a prolonged resistance which caused considerable loss to the assailants. A treaty with the nawab of Oudh was signed here by Warren Hastings on behalf of the East India Company in September 1781.

It's hard enough to knock out "the creeping crud" when you're by yourself, but when you're at work…and everyone has it there, then when you go home…and everyone has it there, there really is no escape until it makes the full rounds! It sucks to the Nth degree, but what can ya do? Just keep hydrated and get plenty of rest. Thank goodness desk jobs don't require too much physical movement (a plus right now, assuredly).
*achoo!* I hope this goes away SOON!

New York, June 2 (ANI): Moody's Investors Service has downgraded India's foreign-currency and local-currency long-term issuer ratings to Baa3 from Baa2 and local-currency senior unsecured rating to Baa3 from Baa2.
It also downgraded the country's short-term local currency rating to P-3 from P-2. The outlook remains negative.
The decision to downgrade India's ratings reflects Moody's view that the country's policymaking institutions will be challenged in enacting and implementing policies which effectively mitigate the risks of a sustained period of relatively low growth, significant further deterioration in the general government fiscal position and stress in the financial sector.
"The negative outlook reflects dominant, mutually-reinforcing, downside risks from deeper stresses in the economy and financial system that could lead to a more severe and prolonged erosion in fiscal strength than Moody's currently projects."
Moody's also lowered India's long-term foreign-currency bond and bank deposit ceilings to Baa2 and Baa3 from Baa1 and Baa2 respectively. The short-term foreign-currency bond ceiling remains unchanged at Prime2, and the short-term foreign-currency bank deposit ceiling was lowered to Prime-3 from Prime-2.
The long-term local currency bond and bank deposit ceilings were lowered to A2 from A1.
"India faces a prolonged period of slower growth relative to the country's potential, rising debt, further weakening of debt affordability and persistent stress in parts of the financial system, all of which the country's policymaking institutions will be challenged to mitigate and contain," said Moody's.
Moody's upgrade of India's ratings to Baa2 in November 2017 was based on the expectation that effective implementation of key reforms would strengthen the sovereign's credit profile through a gradual but persistent improvement in economic, institutional and fiscal strength.
Since then, it said, implementation of these reforms has been relatively weak and has not resulted in material credit improvements, indicating limited policy effectiveness.
While the action is taken in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, it was not driven by the impact of the pandemic. Rather, the pandemic amplifies vulnerabilities in India's credit profile that were present and building prior to the shock, and which motivated the assignment of a negative outlook last year.
Slow reform momentum and constrained policy effectiveness have contributed to a prolonged period of slow growth, compared to India's potential, that started before the pandemic and that Moody's expects will continue well beyond it.
Real GDP growth has declined from a high of 8.3 per cent in fiscal 2016 (ending March 2017) to 4.2 per cent in fiscal 2019.
Moody's expects India's real GDP to contract by 4 per cent in fiscal 2020 due to the shock from the coronavirus pandemic and related lockdown measures, followed by 8.7 per cent growth in fiscal 2021 and closer to 6 per cent thereafter.
Thereafter and over the longer term, growth rates are likely to be materially lower than in the past, due to persistent weak private sector investment, tepid job creation and an impaired financial system.
In turn, a prolonged period of slower growth may dampen the pace of improvements in living standards that would help support sustained higher investment growth and consumption.
While the government responded to the growth slowdown prior to the coronavirus outbreak with a series of measures aimed at stimulating domestic demand and recently announced a support package aimed at supporting India's most vulnerable households and small businesses, Moody's does not expect that these measures will durably restore real GDP growth to rates around 8 per cent which had seemed within reach just a few years ago.
Moreover, persistent stress among banks and non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) weighs on growth dynamics through a constrained supply of credit for consumption and investment. Moody's does not expect the credit crunch in India's undercapitalized financial sector to be resolved quickly.
In turn, subdued growth further challenges the banking system's incomplete resolution of legacy non-performing assets and governance reforms, and is likely to further weaken asset quality and the health of banks and NBFIs. (ANI)

Andy B's Hip Resurfacing with Mr. Pearson 2007
I'm 50 years old and have just had a left
hip resurface, the UK NHS have been absolutely fabulous, my
GP asked where I would like to see a consultant and living
in Birmingham I didn't really have to think too hard. I've
had the procedure at the Royal Orthopedic Hospital in
Birmingham and the op was performed by Mr. Andrew Pearson.
I went in on Weds 12th Dec and was up on
frame the following day. Walking on two sticks by 11.00am on
the 14th and home by 5.00pm that day. The hospital run a
community scheme (ROCS – Royal Orthopedic Community Scheme)
where if you live in Birmingham and have someone at home who
can look after you, they visit you and check on your
recovery etc. Good as gold the nurse came out on the
Saturday – found out her former partner was someone I knew
and so had a good talk/put the world to rights etc. (such a
small world) and she said everything is fine and was
formally discharged with a back up of 24hr phone cover. Talk
about quick – what a brilliant system.
I've got little bits of post op swelling but as its only 10
days post op am not too worried. Just looking forward to
getting mobility back and being able to walk the dog (2yr
old Great Dane called Juno).

I did not read Kathleen Parker's Save the Males because yuck, if you've read one "women's sluttiness and performances of The Vagina Monologues are destroying the fragile male ego" book you've read them all. But apparently not. It's apparently crazier than a Glenn Beck Rabbi Boteach mash up. Our nation is "awash in vaginaism", whatever the fuck that means.-- Jessa Crispin.
... I doubt Parker is correct, but frankly, the more vaginaism the better, says TBA.

Change is coming to Saudi Arabia, but the nature of the change is still viewed in darkness and through a veil.
A new piece by experienced Mideast correspondent Dexter Filkins of the New Yorker sheds some cautious light on the change, which doesn't settle anything, but contradicts, at least in tone, a recent exploration of the Saudi situation by another experienced Mideast correspondent.
The agent of the change is a young Saudi prince, Mohammed bin Salman (often referred to as MBS.) MBS is currently the designated "crown prince," which means he will likely become king. (I say "likely" because MBS previously wrested the crown prince-ship away from one of his cousins. This was roughly unprecedented in Saudi history. It may have helped that MBS is the favorite son of the current King Salman, but the rules of succession are complicated in the Saudi system, based somewhat on merit, and also involves the word "agnatic," about which I suspect some of us (including me) have never previously heard.
A few months ago, New York Times columnist (and Minnesota boy) Thomas Friedman wrote a cautiously favorable piece about MBS, based mostly on MBS' reputation as a reformer/modernizer on social issues.
Saudi Arabia is, by Western standards (and pretty much by any standards), a deeply sexist society, in which women were not allowed to even drive cars. Last year, the ban was lifted. Saudi Arabia is also deeply theocratic and undemocratic. In November, I linked to the Friedman piece, and described Friedman's view as cautiously optimistic that the advent of MBS might mean progress on the personal freedom front in the deeply conservative Saudi society. Friedman was also cautiously impressed with what he saw as the anti-corruption side of MBS' agenda.
On Monday Filkins, another great and experienced Mideast observer, published his likewise cautious and tentative but substantially darker take on the possible future of Saudi Arabia and the region when MBS takes full power. (Friedman, by the way, pops up in the Filkins piece, angrily and profanely responding to some critics of his previous piece.)
I'll pass along below a few specifics and excerpts from the Filkins piece below, but first one more bit of prologue. A recent PBS/Frontline documentary titled "Bitter Rivals" (which I previewed in February) also helped me understand the degree to which the larger source of the perpetual chaos of the Mideast is about the Saudi-Iranian conflict over who should dominate the Muslim world. It's a fight on many fronts along many divides, including the Sunni-Shia divide, the Arab-Persian divide and the U.S. ally-U.S. enemy divide.
If you read the full Filkins/New Yorker piece, you'll also see plenty of echoes of that insight, and evidence that the Saudis and the Trumpies were pretty excited to discover that they share the obsession with Iran. Here's a taste:
In late October [2017], [Trump son-in-law Jared] Kushner paid an unpublicized visit to M.B.S., his third trip to the kingdom since the election. Though Kushner was supposed to focus on a plan for peace between Israel and Palestine, he had evidently decided that the more pressing goal was to unite the region against Iran.
Soon after Kushner departed, M.B.S. held a meeting with Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, to discuss the prospects for peace in the Middle East. According to [an unnamed] former Obama Administration official, the Saudis presented a plan that was radically favorable to Israel. It would recognize Israel's claims to Jerusalem and ratify nearly all of its settlements in the West Bank, offering the Palestinians only limited autonomy in areas under their control.
A senior Palestinian official told me that Arab leaders have been applying intense pressure to Abbas, apparently in cooperation with the Trump administration: "The whole idea is to settle the Jerusalem issue, so the White House can build a united front against Iran." But, he said, "if Jerusalem is on the table, we will never do it."
The full Filkins piece, titled: "A Prince's Quest to Remake the Middle East" can be read here.

Despite never showing off any hardware, HoloLens competitor Magic Leap appears to be building up to some kind of launch in the near future, and of course for that you need content.
At the New York Comic Con the company has announced a partnership with motion comic provider Madefire, to deliver Mixed Reality comics on their platform.
The companies promise that the result will be the ability to view comic panels like 3D paintings floating in mid-air, which can also be pinned to your room like digital wallpaper.
Madefire is already available in VR on Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR, but Magic Leap advisor Andy Lanning said their version will be crisper, more readable and feature spacial sound.
Comics will include original titles, but also content from Marvel, DC and Blizzard.
See a video demo of Madefire's product for the Oculus Rift below:

A New Holiday?
It is interesting to note a growing number of churches deciding to take the Sunday after Christmas off from gathering together to worship God. It is strange because I thought the point of worship was to take time away from the busyness of life to worship God and anchor ourselves in His promises through Jesus…Read More

What a day for the punter day three has been. Favourites galore to begin the day and at one point after the end of yesterday into the first few races today there were 6 winning favourites in a row. Frightening stuff!
For our 11 tipsters today was all about pushing on with the momentum gathered yesterday and start their ascend towards the top of the tipster league. After yesterday as many as 10 tipsters could make a claim to be looking to win it, how many will be in the frame heading to the final hurdle tomorrow? Let's take a look at an enthralling day 3.
14:50 – Ryanair Chase
1) Frodon (9/2)
2) Aso (33/1)
3) Road To Respect (9/2)
Pulled Up: Terrefort
A decent start for some of our tipsters, well all except Square Leg & #Bouncebackers who both picked Terrefort, meaning they both scored -2 points, as well as The Fox, Mr Slimbridge AFC & The Tinkers who all failed to score any points.
The Bear picked up 1 point for picking Road To Respect to place, whilst Sweet Prince, Bacon, Knight Riders & Always In My Brother's Shadow tipped Frodon, claiming 3 points a piece. Bacon will be kicking himself after naming the 33/1 shot Aso as his reserve.
The big winner was Last Chance Saloon who used his double points on Frodon as well as tipping Road To Respect to place, meaning he scored 7 points.
So after a good start for the majority of our tipsters, can they keep up their momentum in the Stayers' Hurdle?
15:30 – Stayers' Hurdle
1) Paisley Park (11/8 Fav)
2) Sam Spinner (33/1)
3) Faugheen (4/1)
Firstly, no minus points were issued in this one as all horses finished the race thankfully.
This was a great race for our tipsters, with 10 of the 11 mentioning Paisley Park in their tips. Only Sweet Prince & Square Leg failed to pick up any points, after the latter only picked Paisley Park as his reserve.
There were 3 points eachfor The Bear, The Fox, The Tinkers, Knight Riders & Last Chance Saloon for having the winner.
Always In My Brother's Shadow & Mr Slimbridge AFC went one further by having Faugheen to place, meaning they both scored 4 points.
The two big winners in this one were Bacon & #Bouncebackers who used their double points boost on Paisley Park, meaning they scored 6 points each.
Our tipsters were having a great day after the first two races, with the boosts playing their part in some high scores. Could they round off the day with in some cases a hattrick of winners?
16:10 – Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate
1) Siruh du lac (9/2)
2) Janika (3/1 Fav)
3) Spiritofthegames (6/1)
4) Eamon An Cnoic (10/1)
Pulled Up: River Wylde, Kalondra
Not too many points distributed in this one, but still enough to keep it interesting.
#Bouncebackers & Square Leg had River Wylde, who pulled up meaning they scored -2 points. However for the latter, he had the winner – meaning he took home 1 point.
The Fox & Knight Riders scored 3 points each for the winner, with the latter taking home the hattrick ball for a winner in all three races.
Last Chance Saloon scored 1 point for a place, whilst Sweet Prince had the winner and a place, as well as having Kalondra who pulled up. Overall it meant he picked up 2 points.
Mr Slimbridge AFC had the straight forecast and collected an all important 5 points. The others went scoreless.
And there we have it. The end of the penultimate day at the Cheltenham Festival. An early night tomorrow, ahead of a massive day for punters everywhere and the tipster league, where it is all to play for. Let's take a look at the table.
Look. At. That. 7 points separate the top 8! And with double points for the Gold Cup race itself on offer it is still in the balance. Sweet Prince remains top despite a quietish day, whilst Bacon maintains consistency to move up to 2nd.
Big movers include Last Chance Saloon who picked up 11 points on the day to move up to 4th and Knight Riders who move up to 6 after collecting 9 points.
Looking at the table, you have to feel it will take a miracle for #Bouncebackers, The Bear or Square Leg to win the race, but stranger things have happened.
Join us back here tomorrow morning for the 4th and final days' tips, including the Gold Cup race and to see who will win the tipster league.

Burns are painful, and they damage your toddler's skin.
Burns are painful, and they damage your toddler's skin. Here's what you can do to help prevent them:
- Keep the handles of hot pots and pans turned toward the inside of the stovetop at all times, even when you think your child's not around.
- Cover or barricade exposed heaters and heater grates.
- Screen or barricade fireplaces, grills, and any place in your house that has a hot surface.
- Set your hot water heater to 48 degrees C or lower to avoid accidental scalds.
- Test the temperature of bath water with the inside of your wrist or elbow before you put your toddler in.
- Get locking taps to prevent your child from giving herself a rinse with too-hot water.
- Get electrical cords out of the way. If your child bites them, she can get a terrible burn.
If your child does get burned and develops blisters, she has a second-degree burn. Take her to your healthcare provider for proper treatment. Burns on your toddler's hands and face also need special attention, so don't hesitate to have them looked at, even if they're small.

EUR/GBP edged north on Monday following remarks by EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, who noted over the weekend that he is "strongly opposed" to PM May's latest proposal on trade. The pair remained under buying interest after the UK manufacturing PMI for August fell to its weakest since July 2016. From a technical standpoint, the pair rebounded from near 0.8940, slightly below the uptrend line drawn from the low of the 21st of June, and managed to move back above the 0.9000 psychological zone. In our view, this keeps the near-term outlook positive.
We believe that the break back above the 0.9000 zone may have opened the way for the 0.9035 resistance obstacle, marked by the low of the 27th of August. If the bulls are strong enough to overcome that barrier, then we may see them setting the stage for our next resistance zone of 0.9100, near the peak of the 28th of August.
Shifting attention to our short-term oscillators, we see that the RSI rebounded from near 30, emerged above 50, and is now pointing up. The MACD, although negative, has bottomed and crossed above its trigger line. It points north as well. These indicators support the notion for EUR/GBP to continue drifting higher for a while more.
On the downside, we would like to see a clear break below the uptrend line drawn from the low of the 21st of June before we abandon the bullish case, at least in the short run. Such a break could initially aim for Friday's low, at around 0.8940. Another break below 0.8940 would confirm a forthcoming lower low on the 4-hour chart and may signal a trend reversal. If this is the case, then we may see the bears taking the driver's seat and pushing the rate towards the 0.8900 territory.

AbstractTwo-dimensional (2D) semiconductors offer a convenient platform to study 2D physics, for example, to understand doping in an atomically thin semiconductor. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication and unravel the electronic properties of a lateral doped/intrinsic heterojunction in a single-layer (SL) tungsten diselenide (WSe2), a prototype semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), partially covered with a molecular acceptor layer, on a graphite substrate. With combined experiments and theoretical modeling, we reveal the fundamental acceptor-induced p-doping mechanism for SL-WSe2. At the 1D border between the doped and undoped SL-WSe2 regions, we observe band bending and explain it by Thomas-Fermi screening. Using atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, the screening length is determined to be in the few nanometer range, and we assess the carrier density of intrinsic SL-WSe2. These findings are of fundamental and technological importance for understanding and employing surface doping, for example, in designing lateral organic TMD heterostructures for future devices.

Yesterday was my first whole day in Florence and it was a really good day. The started out with a visit to galleria academica where Michellangelos master piece David is located. It's an real impressive sculpture and I can see why it's valued as one of the best of all times. After that we wallked around and looked at famous sites here in Florence such as the Duomo and Ponte Vechio before we took lunch.
Lunch at Trattoria Borgo Antico at piazza Santo Spirito. Where I had a pizza which I almost find as one of the things you should try to eat when you're in Italy.
After the we (we = me and my girlfriend G) continued to walk around in the city and we walked by Palazzo Vechio which really is an impressive building and after that we by accident found the Gucci Museum. I didn't know that much about Gucci before by learned a few things and got a bit of inspiration. But I really enjoyed the timeless design as well as the achitechture and the interior which is among the best I've seen and holds a really high quality.
After that we left the core of Florence and hiked up to Piazzale Michellangelo which is famous for its panoramic views over Florence.
A day of sightseeing made us both thirsty and hungry so first we went to a place for drinks. The classic Italian drink Apperol Spritz and then som dinner at La Proscutteria and finnshed the meal with a glas of wine out in the streets surrounded by Italians to get to feel the atmosphere and on the way home we tried a gelato place. Then we called it a day and what a day.

Check Back Daily for New Strains...
Click the marijuana strain below to learn more about how to grow and the medical effects provided by the strain.
Marijuana Strains
After careful review, we believe these are the best Medical Marijuana strains in the United States. Check back daily for new strains…
Remember: Sativa is energic & Indica is more relaxing.
- 9 Pound Hammer (Indica)
- Haleigh's Comet (CBD)
- Super Silver Haze (Sativa)
- White Widow (Sativa)
- Harlequin (CBD)
- Headband (Hybrid)
- Pineapple Express (Hybrid)
- Blue Cheese (Indica)
- Jack Herer (Sativa)
- Trainwreck (Hybrid)
- Bubba Kush (Indica)
How Can We Help You?
In order to purchase Marijuana in Florida, you must have a Medical Marijuana Card from a DOH registered Doctor.
Headband Strain
When it comes to cannabis, we are truly living in the golden age of strains, with users (like yourself) having an absolute treasure trove of options to choose from. This special guide will guide you on a journey to explore all the wonders that Headband Strain has to offer. We hope that you find this piece as interesting as it was to write and that you enjoy your favorite strain responsibly and in the company of good friends.
Pineapple Express Strain
No matter where you live in the world, you've probably heard of Pineapple Express. It is actually one of the most popular cannabis strains in the world. If you have enjoyed smoking it, you will witness its delightful taste, its aromatic smell, and its lingering, energetic high. For those of you who have not yet experienced the Pineapple Express variety, our comprehensive guide will give you everything you need to understand history, cultivation and medical applications.
Blue Cheese Strain
Blue Cheese is an indica cross that originates when a male blueberry with an original U.K. Cheese (a Skunk # 1 phenotype) is crossed. The sweet and salty aromas of berries and blue cheese give a creamy and unique taste reminiscent of the original cheese. The strong Indica effects help you to feel relaxed at the end of the day and can relieve muscle spasms, pain, and stress.
Jack Herer Strain
The Jack Herer high is happy, bubbly, euphoric, energizing and creative in combination with a wonderfully relaxing, yet not sedated body buzz. The Jack Herer high is versatile and can be a good choice for a wake and bake before for a day of errands or settling in on the couch for the evening. The high provides an excellent balance between the cerebral and physical effects, leaving the users deeply relaxed but attentive and social.
Trainwreck Strain
The Trainwreck strain is another hybrid strain that has become immensely popular. It has a spic flavor that some match with a peppery flavor and like many Sativa hybrids; Trainwreck marijuana can provide high brain intensity. Many people report that the effects greatly improve mood and can cause a feeling of euphoria.
Bubba Kush Strain
Bubba Kush is powerful, popular and easy to breed. It is an Indica-dominant hybrid that is considered by many cannabis enthusiasts as a top strain. Bubba Kush regularly tests between 18-22% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on average and has been used to make new strains such as Madness and Blackberry Kush.
Harlequin Strain
The effects of Harlequin are much simpler than most cannabis strains, providing light and a clear effect that produces small waves of energy and concentration, as well as fostering a creative and productive work ethic. Its psychoactive effects are not as powerful as most marijuana strains, mainly because of its high CBD content which is actually higher than its THC. For this reason, although Harlequin is a sativa, the CBD seems to balance any anxious or paranoid energy that is typically felt with sativas. In addition, it can help the body relax and unwind, but will not make you fall asleep or drowsy. This makes it particularly popular with patients who need to be free from medical situations but who do not want to be dysfunctional throughout the day.
Super Silver Haze Strain
Smoking Super Silver Haze tends to give the user a body high, rather than a high head. It relaxes the smoker and might even put them to sleep rather than instilling them with energy. People like Super Silver Haze because it not only relaxes the body and mind but also clears up all the sounds associated with real life. This sensation tends to hold for a while, making it simple and effective
9 Pound Hammer Strain
9lb Hammer, a heavy indica is known to have a strong blow and is recommended to relieve post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, stress, chronic pain and as an effective aid to sleep. At the time the powerful strain was created, the favorite strain of Jinxproof was Gooberry.

[Update: There was a conflict between the Alexa extension in Chrome and the WordPress.com website that made it impossible for affected WordPress.com users to log in, on the weekend of 10/3/2015. Alexa Support notified me a few days ago that WordPress.com made a change that fixes this problem. You should be able to reinstall or re-enable the Alexa extension, if you wish, and log into WordPress.com, now. I just tried, and it does work. The post, below, has been updated accordingly.]
If you were having difficulties, last weekend, logging into WordPress.com using the Chrome browser, you probably had the Official Alexa Plug-in installed. Although this is fixed by a change in the WordPress.com website – according to Alexa – you may experience a different problem next week, next month, or next year. It's a good reminder that plug-ins and extensions and websites don't always play nice with each other – and that seemingly complex technical problems sometimes have the simplest, most non-obvious, and non-intuitive solutions. It still makes no sense to me that a browser plug-in could fool a website into thinking your account doesn't exist at all – but that appears to have been the case, and absent a better technical explanation, will continue to baffle me for a while.
See https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/not-able-to-sign-in-using-chrome for more.
Thanks to @WordPressdotcom for identifying the root cause, providing the solution, and finally, implementing a more permanent "fix"!
Anyway, here's how to disable extensions in Chrome, if you've forgotten:
- Go to the Chrome toolbar and click the button in the upper right corner.
- Click More Tools > Extensions.
- Find the suspect plug-in. Disable it, then hit the trashcan icon to delete it.
- You may need to restart your browser.

Webydo Offline Desktop Application
Wouldn't it be great to have a Webydo Desktop Application, where you can build your website offline and then log in to your Webydo account to upload it there?
Some of us do not have reliable broadband to build websites online (especially those of us in remote areas.)
I'm presently in Africa, and the challenges here wont allow me to have enough online time to build the ideal Webydo website that I'm looking forward to building.
Im hoping that the Webydo team would look into this and make it a reality.

Temiloluwa Titiloye commented
We seriously need the offline desktop app. It will help us achieve a lot with minimum stress. Please see into this. I hope we all get to convince the webydo team on time.
Nathan Vogele commented
This would be super helpful!
alana commented
Thank you for your comments.
We are still gathering feedback on this suggestion.
The Webydo Team
This would be incredible. I work within a small team of designers that use webydo from the same account and you can really notice how SLOW the system is when theres just 2 people working on it. Im talking click on element, 8 seconds later it becomes selected. Not great when your trying to get in the zone and smash through a project.
LOUISE FLANAGAN commented
This would be an AMAZING feature!
its long overdue
This might also help eliminate some of the bugs the appear when the browser cache gets full... making the site easier to use, even for us lucky ones who have good internet access. I'm constantly having to empty cache to get things to work as they should.
Gabriel Angelo commented
Excellent !
We need it
Excellent suggestion
Jagadish R commented
Oh yeah. That will be a boon to persons without internet connection(66% of the world is not connected to internet). That said, work can happen fast matching the designer's creativity in lighting speed. Webdyo can charge a minimal amount and let users download this App. Webdyo, yo listening?
David sullivan commented
Would be nice.
MahenT commented
Yes! Webydo offline / desktop version would b a great (safe) idea..Because the first time I logged in the Dashboard took more than 20 min. with multiple refreshes to load.
This is one of the main reason I took a long time to decide to go premium or not. We cant depend on the broadband connection always.. it fluctuates..Or even the browser can let us down and all our work could go waste with the client breathing down our neck..
Pelle L commented
I was thinking the same thing, I work from all over the world and some places have brodbands that drive you nuts,,, Thailand for example
yes please!

[78a] "Where then, Socrates," said he, "shall we find a good singer of such charms, since you are leaving us?''"Hellas, Cebes," he replied, "is a large country, in which there are many good men, and there are many foreign peoples also. You ought to search through all of them in quest of such a charmer, sparing neither money nor toil, for there is no greater need for which you could spend your money. And you must seek among yourselves, too, for perhaps you would hardly find others better able to do this than you.""That," said Cebes, "shall be done. But let us return to the point where we left off, [78b] if you are willing.""Oh, I am willing, of course.""Good," said he."Well then," said Socrates, "must we not ask ourselves some such question as this? What kind of thing naturally suffers dispersion, and for what kind of thing might we naturally fear it, and again what kind of thing is not liable to it? And after this must we not inquire to which class the soul belongs and base our hopes or fears for our souls upon the answers to these questions?""You are quite right," he replied."Now is not that which is compounded [78c] and composite naturally liable to be decomposed, in the same way in which it was compounded? And if anything is uncompounded is not that, if anything, naturally unlikely to be decomposed?""I think," said Cebes, "that is true.""Then it is most probable that things which are always the same and unchanging are the uncompounded things and the things that are changing and never the same are the composite things?""Yes, I think so.""Let us then," said he, "turn to what we were discussing before. [78d] Is the absolute essence, which we in our dialectic process of question and answer call true being, always the same or is it liable to change? Absolute equality, absolute beauty, any absolute existence, true being—do they ever admit of any change whatsoever? Or does each absolute essence, since it is uniform and exists by itself, remain the same and never in any way admit of any change?""It must," said Cebes, "necessarily remain the same, [78e] Socrates.""But how about the many things, for example, men, or horses, or cloaks, or any other such things, which bear the same names as the absolute essences and are called beautiful or equal or the like? Are they always the same? Or are they, in direct opposition to the essences, constantly changing in themselves, unlike each other, and, so to speak, never the same?""The latter," said Cebes; "they are never the same."

Poor Contact Lens Hygiene Leading To Rare Eye Infection Cases Increasing
Researchers from the University College London (UCL) in England have observed an increase in cases of a rare but preventable eye infection in recent years. The findings emphasize the importance of good hygiene habits when wearing contact lenses.
The paper titled "Acanthamoeba keratitis: confirmation of the UK outbreak and a prospective case-control study identifying contributing risk factors" was published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology on Sept. 19.
What is responsible for the infection?
The infection, known as Acanthamoeba keratitis is caused by a single-celled microorganism called Acanthamoeba. It is found in environments all over the world, including water bodies and soil.
While anyone could be infected, people who wear contact lenses are at higher risk since the amoebae can survive in the space between the lens and the eye. According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, contact lens wearers make up 85 percent of cases in the United States.
How prevalent is the infection?
Though prevalence has risen, overall incidence is still rare. However, the findings from the new study specifically looked at South-East England.
Using data from Moorfields Eye Hospital, the researchers studied cases recorded over three decades, from 1985 to 2016. An increase was observed between the early 2000s (eight to 10 annual cases) and in recent years (36 to 65 annual cases).
"This infection is still quite rare, usually affecting 2.5 in 100,000 contact lens users per year in South East England, but it's largely preventable. This increase in cases highlights the need for contact lens users to be aware of the risks," said lead author John Dart, a professor at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.
How dangerous could it be?
In the worst case scenario, the disease might result in permanent blindness or poor vision. This occurs as a result of trauma after the amoebae invade the cornea. According to a 2015 study, symptoms usually involve massive pain, photophobia, and tearing.
"The sooner the disease is diagnosed, the better the outcome," the authors wrote. "If diagnosis is delayed, the amoebae have already penetrated deeply into the corneal stroma and successful therapy becomes exceedingly difficult."
What precautions can people take?
The rise in cases is probably due to a number of factors rather than a single reason, the researchers suggest. But above all, practicing good hygiene with your lenses can significantly eliminate the risk of infection.
This means never reusing or topping off old solution while cleaning and storing them. Storage cases should also be replaced at least once every three months.
"People who wear reusable contact lenses need to make sure they thoroughly wash and dry their hands before handling contact lenses, and avoid wearing them while swimming, face washing or bathing," Dart added.

text: The successful health assessment of 80,000 4-year-old children this year (ends March 20), will be followed by nationwide health assessment of all four-year old children from next year. Deputy of Pre-school Affairs Rokhsareh Fazli at the ministry of health, said all children will be subject to health assessment in the New Year, but "this will require authorization from the Special Needs Students Department," ISNA reported. Although health assessment of children is being conducted since 1993 for five-year-old children, it will now take place one year earlier to identify kids with learning problems.

Yulia Tymoshenko claimed this to a press conference
Ukraine seeks to sign with Gazprom long-term contracts for 3-5 years.
According to an UNIAN correspondent, Yulia Tymoshenko claimed this to a press conference in the Cabinet of Ministers today.
"We want to have strategic relations with Gazprom for 3-5 years. We keep on the long-term process, to conclude long-term contracts", she said.
The Prime Minister added that Ukraine and Russia "will find mutual understanding and solve all issues, and the relations will be built harmoniously".
