Osteoarthritis treatment
3-minute read
There is no cure for osteoarthritis, but the symptoms can be eased with a number of different treatments. These include non-drug treatments such as physiotherapy and weight loss, medicine such as painkillers, and surgery.
Lifestyle changes and supportive treatments
- a healthy diet
- a weight loss program, if you are overweight
- gadgets that make daily tasks easier
- balancing rest and activity
Physiotherapists and other therapists such as exercise physiologists, occupational therapists and psychologists, sometimes working together in team-based rehabilitation centres, can be utilised if locally available. Options they can suggest include land-based exercise, weight management, strength training, water-based exercise, self-management and an education program designed to suit your needs.
Simple pain relief
While paracetamol can be tried, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) are now considered first line. If there is concern around potential side effects, such as in the elderly or in patients with reflux, then topical NSAIDs can be tried. There are other medicines available including a cream to rub on the joint (capsaicin), antidepressants and stronger painkillers. Discuss your pain management and potential side effects with your doctor. It can be very helpful to learn to change the way you think about, and react, to pain.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) uses a machine that may help ease the pain caused by your osteoarthritis. It works by numbing the nerve endings in your spinal cord which control pain, so you can no longer feel it. Treatment with TENS is usually arranged by a physiotherapist. Small electrical pads (electrodes) are applied to the skin over your affected joint. These deliver small pulses of electricity from the TENS machine. Your physiotherapist can advise on the strength of the pulses and how long your treatment lasts.
Applying hot or cold packs to the joints can relieve the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis in some people. A hot-water bottle filled with either hot or cold water and applied to the affected area can be very effective in reducing pain. Special hot and cold packs that can either be cooled in the freezer or heated in a microwave are also available, and work in a similar way. Care should be taken regarding avoiding burning the skin by having heat on too long or too hot.
If you need surgery for osteoarthritis, your doctor will refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon. There are several different types of surgery for osteoarthritis. You may have surgery to replace your whole joint, the weight-bearing surface (resurfacing), or to fuse it into position (arthrodesis).
Joint replacement therapy, also known as an 'arthroplasty', is most commonly carried out to replace hip and knee joints.
If you have osteoarthritis in your knees but you are not suitable for joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty), you may be able to have an operation called an 'osteotomy'. This involves your surgeon adding or removing a small section of bone either above or below your knee joint to help straighten the joint.

Semiconductor Electronics/Diode/Construction and Operation
Diode Construction[edit]
A diode is formed by joining two equivalently doped P-Type and N-Type semiconductor. When they are joined an interesting phenomenon takes place. The P-Type semiconductor has excess holes and is of positive charge. The N-Type semiconductor has excess electrons. At the point of contact of the P-Type and N-Type regions, the holes in the P-Type attract electrons in the N-Type material. Hence the electron diffuses and occupies the holes in the P-Type material. Causing a small region of the N-type near the junction to lose electrons and behave like intrinsic semiconductor material, in the P-type a small region gets filled up by holes and behaves like a intrinsic semiconductor.
This thin intrinsic region is called depletion layer, since its depleted of charge (see diagram above) and hence offers high resistance. Its this depletion region that prevents the further diffusion of majority carriers. In physical terms the size of the depletion layer is very thin.
Diode Biased Voltage[edit]
Zero Bias[edit]
When a diode is zero biased, that is has no bias, it just stays. Almost no current passes through the diode. However if you connect the anode and cathode of the diode you might be able to observe small voltage or current that is insignificant. This is because the electromagnetic spectrum that's present in our environment by default (microwave background, heat, light, radio waves) knocks off electrons in the semiconductor lattice that constitutes current. For practical reasons this current can be considered zero.
Reverse Bias[edit]
In reverse bias the P-type region is connected to negative voltage and N-type is connected to positive terminal as shown above. In this condition the holes in P-type gets filled by electrons from the battery / cell (in other words the holes get sucked out of the diode). The electrons in N-type material is sucked out of the diode by the positive terminal of the battery. So the diode gets depleted of charge. So initially the depletion layer widens (see image above) and it occupies the entire diode. The resistance offered by the diode is very huge. The current that flows in reverse bias is only due to minority charge which is in nano amperes in silicon and micro amperes in high power silicon and germanium diodes.
Forward Bias[edit]
In forward bias the P-Region of the diode is connected with the positive terminal of the battery and N-region is connected with the negative region. During the forward bias the following process occurs. The positive of the battery pumps more holes into the P-region of the diode. The negative terminal pumps electrons into the N-region. The excess of charge in P and N region will apply pressure on the depletion region and will make it shrink. As the voltage increases the depletion layer will become thinner and thinner and hence diode will offer lesser and lesser resistance. Since the resistance decreases the current will increase (though not proportional) to the voltage.
At one particular voltage level Vf called the threshold / firing / cut-off voltage the depletion layer disappears (overwhelmed by the charge) and hence from this point on the diode starts to conduct very easily. From this point on the diode current increases exponentially to the voltage applied.

1. Only Jesus.
The first big statement comes from Peter in verse 12:
"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."
Big implication…"Must be saved" – What does that mean to you? That will depend a lot on your background. In this context it meant healing – generally, delivered from sickness, bondage, judgment, etc. but there is no other "name" or authority that will do it for us. The holistic understanding of salvation comes in here – Jesus is the Messiah, for the people of God…and beyond! No one comes to the Father but through Him, so the Father draws all who seek Him to His Son! Remember the voice of God in the New Testament had basically one thing to say: "Behold My Son!" (Luke 3:22, 9:35)
2. Witness is not Optional.
The second statement is in verses 19-20:
"Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge, for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard."
a). We don't recognize God's deliverance in our lives. Both inside and outside of the church, we have explained away so many of the things that evidence the grace of God in our lives…most often attributing them to "right living" or some such hog-wash. If we could just see the reality that true "justice" in our lives would leave us all dead, I think we would be grateful for every breath – Life is a deliverance!! What's more, God delvers us from bondage and sickness more than we realize – if we only had a glimpse of what goes on in "heavenly places"…
b.) We allow the world's shame to silence us about Jesus. So many places it is said right out loud: You can talk about God (maybe) or religious customs, but start talking about Jesus and all of hell will object! You will see the ripple effect in the reaction of those unaware of how the spiritual world is influencing their reactions. It's time we stand against the "gag orders from hell"! Jesus Christ saved my life! The Holy Spirit is a witness of His power, and so am I!
i have a good friend who tells how "Jesus rocks" every time I see him. He is telling the truth – every time! Isn't this what verse 13 is saying??
As I searched the translations, I became very frustrated that NONE of them (New Living, NIV, New King James, New American Standard) translated this idea in the least. Who stole the "passion" from Scripture? Apparently the translators. Would it not be helpful to know that in Acts 1:14, 2:46, 4:24, 5:12, 8:6, 15:25, and Romans 15:6, that believers were not riding around in a Honda (NAS "one accord"), but rather had a shared passion for Jesus??? Well, it's there, and if it's not here among us, then we are missing something. So let's got over our selves and catch a common passion for Jesus – It was and always has been normal for the Body of Christ!
There are three weeks left for the Tuesday night Spiritual Warfare Workshops, where we have an hour of teaching and another hour for application. We meet from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Enterprise Commons, Isanti, next to the John Deere Store on Hwy 65. The last session will be November 22. We have not been doing the the monthly training while these workshops have been going, but will be picking those up on Sunday December 11th when we tackle the issue of:
House Meetings and Larger Gatherings – What is biblical,"organic","missional", …or should we just be asking, Where's the fruit?
The Witness of Healing. The man had made a lifestyle out of dependence on others – sitting at the gateway to the Temple, right where people would be thinking about their relationship and "obligation" to God. A prime spot for begging when so much of the Torah and the Prophets exhorted giving to the poor.
Then comes Peter and John…having no silver or gold (not much giving from those 5,000 new converts?), and instead of money for a bill, they give him power to live differently. They dealt with him decisively: "Fixed his gaze upon him" (characteristic of a deliverance), demanded that he look at them, and commanded "In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, walk!" Them he "seized him by the hand" and helped him up.
Well, the people immediately wanted to treat Peter and John like rock stars. But I like Peter's statement, "Why do you gaze at us, as though by our own power and piety we made this man walk?!?" This wasn't for their entertainment – it was to prove that the REAL God had raised up this guy Jesus, whom they had crucified, and that they needed to,
"Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19-20
- Baptized them (Acts 1:5)
- Came upon them (Acts 1:8)
- Filled them (Acts 2:4)
- Poured upon them (Acts 2:17, 2:28)
If you would like to order the set of six sessions, send and e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
This is kind of an embarrassing question for leaders. But I think there are a lot of reasons we don't see what we read about in Acts – everything from our understanding of "church", to our leadership culture, to a misunderstanding of the Holy Spirit. As I finished reading Acts a few months ago, I sensed the Spirit of God prompting me to go back (yes, I was out running at the time) and work through the meaning of the testimony of Acts for us today. Please feel free to chime in on this at the Facebook Page "Organic Church Movements" http://www.facebook.com/groups/16161960273/
I believe that the first chapter holds a key to understanding the rest of the story – it is in the words of Jesus. Like so many other things about Him and His mission, I think we have over-interpreted Him. He said a simple thing here: "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses…" That's it. No mention of gifts, miracles, signs and wonders – Then I thought, that was His point. The empowering of the Holy Spirit was not for any other reason – TO BE WITNESSES. I thought that if that is the case, everything else from here on should show that to be true.
As I would read on the chapter, even the concern with replacing Judas as an "apostelos" was all about the witness – the witness of those who had seen the life of the Messiah from His baptism to His resurrection. I don't think it's a stretch to put this also next to the last words of Jesus in Matthew to the disciples: to "…make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey all I have commanded you…". The appointed task of disciples is to make more disciples – the role of the Holy Spirit's empowerment is all about being witnesses to the living Jesus Christ.
What I think it means for us today is that our witness of the reality of Jesus' work in our lives is the most powerful thing we have here. We can change the atmosphere around us by just saying what we have seen Jesus do. Haven't we all experienced this? Why do you think it is so hard to do? Is the enemy pushing back with all his might to stop the witness of the living Christ? Consider the power that accompanies your testimony – If we want to see what we read about of the early church, we can start here.

Lots of rumours are emerging, e.g. as in this most enlightening TVi television discussion, surrounding the bankruptcy of the major Ukrainian airline company, 'Aerosvit', which is owned by Ihor Kolomoysky, Ukraine's second [or maybe third] richest man,
Yanukovych's 'Family' bulldozer has apparently been trying to get its grabs into Kolomoysky's businesses - allegedly forcing Kolomoysky to 'self-bankrupt' his own airline. [A procedure that is even considered by some to be a national tradition - an easy way of clearing your debts.]
Kolomoysky also part-owns Ukraine's largest commercial bank, PrivatBank, but arguably, amongst Ukraine's billionaires, he is the one with the 'least pull' in government circles.
But 'The family' may be in for a fight, as described in this report:
"A scandal around the Ukraine airline "AeroSvit'' continues. The company's owner oligarch Igor Kolomoisky talks about the deliberate fight against the company and plans to close offices of its largest financial institution ''PrivatBank", which will result in a significant shake in the currency market.
Ukrainian media reports Kolomoisky is getting ready to take drastic measures to protect his own business.
PR Conflict Management Agency «PR i Z» CEO Zakhar Chistiakov states that Kolomoisky's this action will depreciate Ukrainian Hryvnia , because it is the largest financial institution in Ukraine and even small changes in its functioning will lead to social unrest,'' - Chistiakov says.
Along with offices closure, ATM may be also paralyzed, which would be a real social disaster. Chestiakov notes that Kolomoisky's businesses is under a deliberate attack from other oligarchic groups which resulted in serious damage of the oligarch. He is the only billionaire in Ukraine who is not represented in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine."
Bankruptcy procedures have also been launched on behalf of another Kolomoysky airline.
According to the above-mentioned television discussion, other major oligarchs whose businesses are under threat from 'the family's' immeasurable greed may be 'getting their heads together' to ward off the attacks of the 'Semya' .

Kylie Jenner during her pregnancy
20-year-old popular American reality TV star, on Sunday, took to her Instagram page to confirm her pregnancy and announce that she and rapper boyfriend, Travis Scott, welcomed the new bundle of joy - a baby girl - after months of speculation.
The reality star who revealed that it was her choice to keep the entire process a secret as she thanked her friends and family for keeping it mum, said she delivered her first child at the same hospital where Kim, Kourtney, and Rob welcomed their children: Cedars-Sinai in LA.
According to Dailymail, the statement which was posted on her social media page read: 'My beautiful and healthy baby girl arrived February 1st and I just couldn't wait to share this blessing.'
Along with the post she also took to YouTube to share an 11-and-a-half minute video titled 'to our daughter' of her journey which was edited by Tyler Ross with music by Jacob Wilkinson-Smith.
At the very end of the clip, Kylie gives the very first glimpse of the child as it shows an arm and a leg while the reality star cradles the bundle of joy. Then words flash across the screen which read: 'To our daughter. February 1, 2018. 8lbs, 9oz. 4:43pm.'
Here's her statement in full below;

SYNNEX Corp., of Fremont, Calif., has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Westcon-Comstor's North American and Latin American operations from the value-added distributor's parent company, Datatec Ltd.
In connection with that deal, which is worth up to $830 million, SYNNEX will also acquire a minority equity stake in Westcon-Comstor's international business and sell a minority equity stake in its own business to Datatec.
Based in South Africa, Datatec is a global IT solutions provider with over $6 billion in annual revenues and more than 8,000 employees in over 70 countries. Westcon-Comstor, its technology distribution arm, has deep expertise in security, unified communications, and networking. Indeed, the company recently announced expanded alliances with Symantec Corp., of Mountain View, Calif., and Viptela Inc., of San Jose, Calif.
Buying Westcon-Comstor Americas will augment SYNNEX's capabilities in strategic markets, according to company president and CEO Kevin Murai.
"We believe this is a unique opportunity that is transformational to SYNNEX and is aligned to our strategy of positioning the business to where technology is growing," said Murai in a press statement. "The Westcon-Comstor brand has been built over time by a very deep and talented team and we are excited to welcome the Americas team to our family."
For his part, Westcon-Comstor CEO Dolph Westerbos said that joining forces with SYNNEX will enable his company to offer its customers access to a wide selection of new and complementary solutions and business services.
"SYNNEX is an undisputed leader in IT distribution, particularly in North America," Wetserbos said in prepared remarks. "Their breadth of customers and technology solutions will be a tremendous benefit to our portfolio."
Under terms of the deal announced today, SYNNEX will pay Datatec $500 million in stock and $100 million in cash to acquire Westcon-Comstor Americas, plus a further $200 million if unspecified financial targets are satisfied by February 2018. In addition, Datatec will receive $30 million for a 10 percent ownership stake in its Westcon-Comstor International business, which operates in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region.
SYNNEX will assume approximately $115 million of debt from Datatec as well, and grant the company a minority ownership stake.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of this year. According to a company spokesperson, SYNNEX will begin merging its new Westcon-Comstor holdings with the rest of its platform at that point, starting first with the North American unit and then proceeding to the Latin American one.
Westcon-Comstor's acquisition by SYNNEX is but the latest manifestation of an ongoing wave of shakeups in the distribution market. Tech Data Corp., for example, recently completed its $2.6 billion purchase of Avnet Technology Solutions, while Ingram Micro Inc. purchased value-added distributors NETXUSA Inc. and Ensim Corp. last year.

MVP thoughts: Office 365 Groups vs SharePoint team sites
Between all the buzzwords and the hype, the Modern, or Digital Workplace is constantly evolving and bringing along many changes to the organization and IT. As new tools and app roll out in the day to day of employees, staying on top of everything gets harder by the day. It's all a matter of embracing change rather than fighting it!
The Microsoft ecosystem is no exception. With SharePoint and Office 365, we now have a complete collaboration structure that can be scaled to about any desired size. I asked 4 of my SharePoint and Office 365 MVP friends what exactly they think Microsoft's solutions bring to the Modern Workplace table.
Other Videos
- What to Expect From SharePoint 2016
- SharePoint Workflows & Forms in Today's Environment
- What Should SharePoint Developers Focus on
- Office Graph API & Groups Seen By Developers
Benjamin: Okay. So, things are changing, right? There's Office 365, once again, portals, and all these things, but one thing has been popping up a lot recently, and I know we've been having this discussion quite a bit on CollabTalk. I think I even talked with you on Pulse.
Any panel that we arrive at, we're talking about the future of collaboration. That's a buzz word, it's fine. I understand it's a buzz word, or digital workplace, but the idea of us in SharePoint have been using team sites for the longest time to get people together to work on things. That's what we're used to, that's what we know.
Now, Office 365 is introducing, or has introduced, Groups for Office 365. For those of you that don't know what Groups for Office 365 is, quickly, because I know a lot of people get confused. Essentially, it's not a thing like SharePoint, or Word, or Excel, or a portal for videos. Groups for Office 365 is a logical way to group different products that already exist in the Microsoft space.
So, they take a little piece of SharePoint, a little piece of Exchange for, say, the calendars, a little piece of Power BI for the dashboards, a little piece of a new thing called Planner coming out for task management. And they say, "Look, if you create a new group, a new team that works together, we're going to give you all these little pieces, put them together, and that's your team." And you can use what you want, but, we know this, there's a lot of things, things are changing quickly.
So, I wanted to talk to you about, a little bit, of Groups versus team site. Working together, where do you see this going? Do you recommend people to use it? Do you like the vision, where it's all headed? Does it look like Microsoft is saying, "Go this way"?
Jennifer: I love Groups, love them. It's hard, though. Should I use team site? Should I use Groups? Should I use Yammer? Most of the time, it just straight up does not matter, y'all. Use what makes sense. It really doesn't. If you're a culture that is heavily into Yammer, should you introduce Groups and cause confusion? No.
Fabian: Speak to his point. I want to interject for a minute, but I want you to follow along this line. I believe Groups is too loosely coupled. And I believe that a lot of the reason why SharePoint projects failed in the past is because it lacked governance, and Groups doesn't help around the governance conversation. There should be more control around it. It's a great idea, but I believe there should be more control around it. What do I tell my customer who has that concern?
Jennifer: Right. Very, very valid concern. You tell them, "Don't use Groups, yet." So, the concept of MVP software, so minimally viable product, is how Groups were rolled out. So, they came out at first, and it was almost a laughing stock. I felt bad, because people were like, "I can't control names. I can't control quotas, and I can't go in and see everything. Where do I turn it off?"
So, a couple months later, these pieces started rolling out, and things started coming. And I think that, at Ignite, Groups was the sleeper. Nobody knew that Groups was going to come and blow up Ignite. I didn't go to a session, or have a conversation, at Ignite, where Groups wasn't huge. And now, the latest announcement that they have about Planner, they're just able to achieve so many great things.
We'll talk about Planet, right? So, I'm new at Planet, just been there for a little bit of time. I needed a group location, not a group. I needed a location to store some stuff so I could work with a small subset of users. I ask, "Where should I put this on the Intranet?" After the third person I asked, I created a group, and we are rocking along just fine.
Fabian: It solved your problem.
Jennifer: And it worked great. I love being able to get Groups on my iPhone. So, my Group app? Holy cats, is that a nice app! I like it. Who knew phones had apps? I'm a new iPhone user. So, it's beautiful.
But I think you need a place for everything, and you need to decide, but you also need to be loose enough to let things organically happen as well. I think even if you're not using Groups, the conversation we had about devs, and always having to be prepared, and know what's coming, you have to look and see what are they doing with Groups, and know there's probably a transition time for it.
I ask Microsoft all the time when I'm with them, "What about team sites versus Groups? Let's keep having this conversation." Now, I think there's pros and cons, and goods and bads, of each. There's a million different ways to do things. Might not be right, might not be wrong, just different.
Benjamin: Sometimes, the team site's overkill.
Jennifer: Yeah.
Corey: Exactly.
Jennifer: If I have to send a group of people...I'm thinking about HR, marketing, different people. If I have to send even a champion from each one of these groups, to go into SharePoint training to learn how to create lists, to learn how to create libraries, to learn how to put web parts on pages, all they want is a calendar, and a document library and a notebook.
Corey: And some notes.
Jennifer: Why not create them a group? Again, I don't think this is one of those that we can say...and I think it's based on the way that they've rolled it out. I don't think there's a definitive "use this, not that." It's understanding and culturally...
Corey: In a year from now, that might be different.
Jennifer: It changes all the time, so you just have to know and be flexible and kind of go with it. I think Groups has a huge future. I think the Planner pieces that are coming, I still think there's things missing in terms of custom lists and different things like that.
But instead of saying, "Should I use Groups instead of team sites?" I'm actually trying to encourage people to say, "When do I need a team site? And do I really need a team site if the content that I'm working on is ultimately going to end up on a marketing site, when the product is finished?"
Fabian: That sounds like a good blog post.
Jennifer: Yeah, so it's going to go in a group while we're working on it, getting feedback, doing all of this. And then the final product of whatever that is, is going to go into a system, get tagged, get classified, and get referenced. If I put this working information in there now, I'd confuse everybody.
So, I'm using a group as a way to do that. Now, can I easily go from a group to the team site? No, not yet. But that's my thinking in some of it. So, I'm sure many of you guys have opinions, too.
Corey: Oh, for sure. I think Groups are huge. And I think, yeah, you said the administration piece, the management, all that. With it being an MVP release, we're probably on the third or fourth one if you count them up now, like things they'd done. Before, you couldn't check in the file earlier, things like that, right?
Benjamin: That's true, yeah.
Corey: And you can now, right? So keep in mind, it released with nothing. It was a library that you could do nothing on. They're going to keep adding these things. We don't know exactly what the road map says. Ignite gave us some hints on when that stuff's coming. So, if you have compliance needs now. and you must be able to do e-discovery on it or something like that, what am I going to use?
All: Team site.
Corey: Team site, Document Center, whatever, right? Records Center, use that. If that's not your needs and you just want to collaborate, put in the group, right? I think we're going to see this kind of scenario, and she made me think of that. It's for your work in progress documents now.
Where, team sites, people are always confused. "Well, are these our work in progress documents? Are these our final, official documents?" Maybe team sites are going to become more structured official documents in this kind of interim.
Fabian: Your document life cycle changes.
Corey: Yeah, maybe it's an evolution to the document life cycle. We could think about ways to do that, because I think it makes sense to keep these work in progress documents in Groups.
Benjamin: Yeah, let's remember that people right now, most of the time, and I'll be honest, I'm the first one, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive. I've seen people even here today, working on their OneDrive and then putting the documents somewhere else. So, instead of having everyone...there was a company, a nonprofit, that did an investigation. They contacted Dropbox. They had 1,600 of their users on Dropbox with their working email. That means they were working there. So, the data's gone, right?
So, I think Groups, it's not perfect. It's on its way. We're talking about some other things. But I like that, like you said, you waited three days. And then you said, "Well, I'm just going to go and create a group, and I'm going to get the thing done." And those documents...now, is it easy to move them after to team sites? That's another story, of course.
But I think that's a good story, right?
Fabian: Yes, it's a good win. I see the value in the technology, and I see the empowerment that it gives to end users. For me, my main thing is, just how do you manage it? And I believe that that story needs to be addressed, because the challenge that Microsoft has at times, as well, is that they come up with something, it's good, but they don't put the structure around it well enough, and then when users don't use it properly, then they complain. And then Microsoft adjusts again, go left and go right.
Jennifer: Well, this is a little case of having our cake and eating it, too. We want Microsoft to release stuff...
Marc: Wait, there's cake?
Jennifer: Ooh, yeah. We want Microsoft to release stuff quickly. How often do they release stuff and it's exactly what we want? So, they release things. Now, they're going to UserVoice and listening and putting in a lot of those components. If they did it differently, would we have been happier to wait two years to get something, but it had the administrative controls? What if it had the wrong controls?
Yeah. So, I think this is getting to the cycle we have to look at. The other thing is, is I think we have to embrace the fact that we are in a little bit of an unknown world. Microsoft rocked my world a couple of years ago when they killed forms, right? InfoPath, we used that all the time. Workflows, we see what's coming. I have to be able to adjust and go.
And so to me, there's what's happening. There's best practices, and then there's the real world. And you just have to find that spot in the real world that makes sense, and it may be different for each company, and that's okay. If you're starting out new, I'd really push you. I don't know that there's many starting out new right now.
But what if you started out and did a team site implementation and it maybe wasn't successful, and you didn't get the adoption that you needed? What if you go back to your users now, start asking them questions? In doing that, you may discover that accessibility, or getting to the content easier, or getting it from apps, and stuff like that was one of the things that made it not work. Well, now, Groups could be a great alternative.
So, I think it's going to be a power player. I think we're going to keep hearing about it. It's the first time that an identity is an identity, a document is a document, an event is event. You know how in Outlook, right now, and then you have a SharePoint calendar, and a list item is...It was a calendar to the end user, but it's not a calendar item, and they're really not the same, and they don't work. So, this is fixing some of those issues. And so I think we're going to keep seeing integration and keep seeing pieces.
So, if you're responsible for collaboration in your organization, you need to be aware of it. You need to play with it. You need to get the Office 365 trials, and you need to get into both the Office 365 Yammer technical group, where you can go beat up on Christophe and tell him what you need in Groups, or UserVoice or something like that where you can go and say, "I'm not implementing groups because of x." Someone from the product team is probably going to answer your thread and say, "Could you tell me why x is important?" And then you're going to start dialogues and get those answers, yeah.
Marc: I think there's a couple of points that are important here, that we may be missing. One is, we're all freaks. We're way out in front of the adoption curve, right?
Jennifer: Speak for yourself.
Marc: We are all freaks. Now, we hang around with people like us, right? And we're always talking about the latest and the greatest. And we think, at least, that we can see somewhat where a collaboration is going, okay?
I work with some...I'm not picking on any particular clients here, but I know that there are people out there who are still struggling to even understand what collaboration means in an organization. There are people who are still not using team sites. There are people who still don't know how to do any of this stuff. So, the answer's very based on organizational culture, their technical capabilities, the business they're in, all sorts of other things.
So, Groups seem like they're going somewhere interesting. But for some people, they won't be interesting enough for years, right? There's no right or wrong answer. It's not a one-size-fits-all thing. So, team sites are great for some people. I think, Corey, you mentioned in a highly compliance-oriented place, Groups are not there, and they may never be there.
Corey: Never.
Marc: Never, never.
Jennifer: That N word again.
Marc: I don't think never is true.
Corey: I don't think that's true, either.
Marc: But it's not like everybody has to start using this new stuff all the time.
Benjamin: Of course.
Marc: In fact, most people would rather really not. Microsoft tends to do really well on version 3 of everything. That's been true way back since Windows 1. Windows 1 wasn't so great. Windows 3, they started to get somewhere. And that's the nature of software. It improves as you start to understand where it should go. So, I think Groups are great.
The thing that people really are struggling with, and we talked about this on CollabTalk last week or whenever it was, is that people see too many options. They see Yammer. They see Groups. They see team sites. They see all the other things that I can't even think of right now, and they don't know what to do.
And so having a decision tree of some sort, which you could easily write for us, right?
That would help a lot of people because they're really just trying to figure out...we do this all the time. We can just go, "Yup, you need a team site." But most people can't do that.
Benjamin: Yeah, because we're used to it.

Mortgage Broker Nottingham
What is a mortgage broker and what mortgage advice can they offer?
Our in-house mortgage advisor, Paul, offers some words of advice.
Would you buy a pair of designer prescription glasses without first having an eye test?
Would you part with your hard earned cash to buy a brand new car off the forecourt without first test-driving it?
Would you book and pay for a late deal holiday without first checking your passport was in date?
Would you chance viewing properties and finding the one of your dreams without actually knowing you are good for the mortgage?
Of course not!
A mortgage broker is just another word for mortgage advisor.
Using one of our highly trained and experienced mortgage advisors to obtain a mortgage Approval in Principle (AIP) before viewing any properties will ensure there's no heartache at a later stage.
An AIP is a fully credit checked and credit scored application which lets you know if a particular lender will actually lend you the money, giving you the confidence of knowing you could actually buy that house!
An AIP comes in several guises, such as a Mortgage Promise, a Decision in Principle or a Mortgage Certificate.
The process of obtaining one is pretty straight forward; meet one of our advisors for an informal chat where they will take all of your current personal and financial information.
Using their wealth of knowledge, they will then research the market to find not only the cheapest deal for you, but to pinpoint which lender(s) are most likely to lend the amount you want, based on your current circumstances. All lenders will calculate your maximum mortgage in different ways, meaning some are more generous than others.
There are lenders for pretty much most circumstances, from those who are self-employed, to those with lower available deposits and also clients with a chequered credit history; the job of our advisors is to find that lender and then confirm whether they would actually consider lending you the money.
Most Estate Agents will want to know your position and are able to proceed so that they can tell the seller of the house your current position.
Those viewers with an AIP are taken more seriously than those without. This is because when you make an offer on the house and want the seller to take the house off the market to avoid further viewers outbidding you, the seller can be confident you are good to go and are then more likely to stop further viewings on the house.
Would you sell your car to someone and let them drive it away on the strength of them telling you they think that they can get the money together and will be back with the cash if they can?
Of course not!
Sometimes it's not always straight forward though; you could actually be declined for a mortgage with most, if not all lenders, but there is always a fundamental reason for this.
Once we can establish what is stopping an approval, we can discuss ways forward. This may be something as simple as ensuring you are registered on the electoral register at your home address or maybe clearing a credit card or two may do the trick.
To conclude, having an approved Agreement in Principle before you view properties puts you in the best position you can be – it will give you the confidence when viewing and you can actually think to yourself "This house could be mine!", rather than falling in love to later find it just doesn't work out!
Why not register your interest to book a mortgage advice appointment today?
A mortgage is a loan secured against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up with repayments on your mortgage. Think carefully before securing a debt against your home.

I've talked a lot about sex on this blog, and it's been heavy. But these conversations are only the beginning of genuine social reformation, and it's exciting to see change taking place at such a rapid pace.
(If you missed out on my Expectation of Sex series, check it out here and here.)
As I've already stated in the previously linked posts, the issue of sexual abuse happening so often is twofold: there's the expectation of sex and the separate need for power and control. So we understand the why, but do we fully understand the what?
Recently, a sharp criticism of the #MeToo movement has risen to the surface - is this movement restricting sexual freedom? This conversation only began after the allegations came out against comedian Aziz Ansari, in which some deemed an example of a bad date.
(The full story is here, but beware, it's pretty explicit.)
Here's the truth: We are each created in the image of God to move in and through His spirit of love and compassion. Period. That is what each and every one of us is called to do and every action and interaction should reflect that. If you as a reader have any objections to this statement, that is pride and ego speaking, not truth or love.
So here's the money question: when does sexual activity cross the line into abuse?
And here's the money answer: whenever there is a lack of consent.
Notice I didn't say, 'whenever the victim says no' or 'whenever the victim physically fights back'. In the case of Ansari's accuser, she gave non-verbal cues, such as going limp, not engaging, and pushing him away, in addition to verbally stating she was uncomfortable.
This way of thinking calls humanity to a higher standard - will we choose to be motivated by respect and love? Or will we choose to stay motivated by ego, choosing satisfaction over honor?
Sexual abusers will:
Continue sexual activity after you've voiced uncomfortability
Dismiss non-verbal cues
Pretend not to hear you
Guilt you into sexual activity
Use physical force to continue or initiate sexual activity
And to be clear, by sexual activity I mean any activity sexual in nature, not explicitly penetration, including touching, oral sex, masturbation, asking for or sending nude photos, or sexting.
I want to speak to those who may be struggling with realizing that they may have been the victim of sexual abuse. Many times victims of sexual abuse try to deny that the abuse happened because of the intense shame of the incident and the fact that often they experience positive physiological reactions to the abuse.
Try to understand the mental complexities of a victim of abuse: they are full of fear because they have lost control of the situation and feel like their bodies are being violated, and are often simultaneously feeling extreme shame and self-loathing because their bodies are responding positively to what's happening to them.
If you identify with this at all, please know that what you experienced is abuse and that it is in no way your fault. Your body is not broken - it is strong, beautiful and pure, redeemed by the overwhelming love of your heavenly Father.
If you believe you may have been sexually abused, please tell someone you trust. Darkness only gains power if it is hidden. Exposing darkness to the light allows you to gain power over your experience, leading you, through a journey of healing and understanding, to a glorious and love-filled freedom. Please seek counsel, as legal action may be appropriate.
(If you are having difficulty in having this critical conversations about sex and abuse, please refer to my blog post where I talk in detail about starting conversations with the people around us.)
I also want to speak to those who are realizing that they may have sexually abused someone in the past. I want to challenge you to go before the cross and seek God's heart in this. Why did you choose to abuse and manipulate? Was it out of selfishness? Warped expectations? Or a need for control? Assess your heart, making a 180 towards the path of love and respect. I also want to challenge you to seek forgiveness from those you've wronged, for it is good and holy to make peace with those we've sinned against. (If the abuse was long-term or violent, I advise not approaching the person directly, but speaking to a family member first.)
Sexual abuse damages our ability to speak out because of the deep shame it causes within our spirits, making us afraid to speak out for fear of judgement. That same shame keeps us from speaking to the people we trust, isolating us from our friends and families. The confusion of the body's reaction mixed with the fear of the circumstances and the love we have for our partner - it creates an awful paradox that leaves us feeling helpless and uncertain.
The only way to regain our voice, regain our community and regain our power is to identify the truth and to speak it out. Truth is power. Truth leads us back to the One who loves us perfectly and without expectation or manipulation. Truth leads us to love. Truth leads us to healing. Truth leads us to freedom.

How to Build Trust In the Digital Age
A recent report published by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism looks at the quality of journalism in the digital age. The report's author, Richard Sambrook, is a journalism professor at Cardiff University and former director of BBC News. In the report, Sambrook investigates the notions of objectivity and impartiality in the digital world, and whether or not we can trust the new forms of journalism that are emerging as a result of new technologies.
Sambrook cites Bill Kovach and Tim Rosentiel's book Blur when he says that there is less "journalism of verification" in the digital age—traditional journalism that relies on accuracy and context. He writes that as the traditional business models erode, there has been an increase in "journalism of assertion" and "journalism of affirmation"—models that rely on immediacy and volume, and affirming the beliefs of its audience. The digital space also allows for a greater number of participants like corporations, governments, and NGOs that are promoting their own agendas.
All of these changes undermine journalistic objectivity and impartiality, concepts that Sambrook says, "were never intended to suggest journalists had no opinions or biases of their own. On the contrary, they were professional disciplines or processes designed to acknowledge and counter any inherent bias in the reporter." In an age when emphasis is placed on output, Sambrook argues that the professional notions of objectivity and impartiality are important for the process of journalism. Focusing on the process as opposed to the product may be helpful in distinguishing trustworthiness in news.
Increasing transparency in one way to promote trust: "transparency is the new objectivity" as David Weinberger said. But while the report advocates for greater transparency, it also points out where this strategy comes up short. "Attempts at radical transparency have not been hugely successful," writes Sambrook. "Partly, of course, the consumer simply wants 'the story' and is less interested in the journalist's personal backstory getting in the way." He points out that transparency as a method of promoting trust relies on a high level of media literacy, and does not address the need to build up "evidence-based reporting" and the "plurality of views." To supplement transparency, Sambrook suggests redefining objectivity: "One way of reinventing the relevance of impartiality in a more diverse world is to broaden rather than limit the range of voices. It is to interpret impartiality as extending opinion, not limiting it."
Also among the report's proposed solutions are "new codes of practice, new forms of regulation… technology solutions, and greater emphasis on education and media literacy." Eric Newton, senior adviser to the president of the Knight Foundation, argued that it is part of a journalist's job to promote news literacy in the digital world. "The story is not the only thing that matters," he said. "We need news literacy. We need engaged communities. We need transparency and accountability."

When many people convert to dairy-free living, concerns of consuming chocolate immediately pop up. But for me, it was brown sugary confections like caramel. Thanks to Chocolate Inspirations, those sweet chewy confections can be enjoyed again by us dairy-free folk!
This little candy company keeps churning out new vegan offerings. Now offering around 10 varieties of dairy-free and vegan confections. All of which are handcrafted with high quality all natural ingredients. Made with a nut-coconut milk blend, their caramel is rich, buttery, and so creamy.
Tasting Notes for Chocolate Inspirations Vegan Confections
These artisan candy creations are crafted to feel as if the batch was made just for you. The chocolates and confections are made in small batches to ensure that they're fresh and will melt in your mouth!
Peanut Butter Pillows
Their peanut butter pillows are comparable to a Butterfinger. Though they have a denser texture and aren't as sweet. They do have the irresistible flaky Butterfinger vibe yet it's even more enjoyable! I can definitely imagine crumbling this atop some dairy-free ice cream for a decadent sundae.
Caramel Candy Bar
This thick block of caramel enrobed in of dark chocolate was SO satisfying and surprisingly not over the top sweet either, but just sweet enough. Such a simple bar, yet so perfect. The caramel was thick yet so creamy and lush.
Cinnamon Brittle
I loved the cinnamon spike of this thin chunky toffee. The warm notes to this traditional candy mellowed the sweetness a bit. This is an excellent option for those who don't like overly sugary candy.
Cashew Brittle
Taking the indulgence factor up a notch, this brittle had a dark chocolate coating and in the the end was my top choice! The brittle itself had a nice sweetness that wasn't too sugary, which was a perfect compliment to the dark chocolate layer. Most noteworthy was how well sweet mellowness of the cashews paired with the sweet brittle and dark chocolate coating. Each flavor came through and together worked seamlessly in delicious harmony.
English Toffee
This English toffee is Chocolate Inspirations' best seller and I completely understand why! The thin toffee, the thick layers of chocolate, and the sprinkling of crushed nuts make up this tempting toffee. I loved the way the delicate toffee melded into the chocolate to create a sweet seamless confection. It was truly addictive, sweet, and indulgent.
Espresso Toffee
This toffee was thinner than the rest yet had a delicate crisp texture and rich buttery taste. The espresso taste was only slightly notable, however it still added some intrigue. I'd definitely recommend this one to any coffee lovers!

Have you been to D.C.'s Titanic memorial? Chances are you didn't even know we had one, at least according to our completely unscientific poll of folks on the street.
The monument sits near the banks of the Potomac River near the corner of 4th and P streets SW, about three blocks from the Southwest Waterfront Metro station.
Settled on a nondescript pedestal surrounded by stone benches is the 1931 sculpture of a man with his arms outstretched. The sculpture itself vaguely resembles the scene from the 1997 Blockbuster film when Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet stand on the bow of the ship with arms outstretched.
According to the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., the monument was originally dedicated in 1931 near the Kennedy Center but had to be moved following a mishap. Former First Lady Nellie Taft unveiled the memorial and introduced its artist, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.
"Just a few years later, the Great Potomac Flood of 1936 (eerily ironically) inundated and damaged the memorial," Adam Lewis of the Historical Society told us in an e-mail. "The memorial was then uprooted in 1966 to make way for the Kennedy Center and was held in Fort Washington, Maryland until it was installed at its current location in Southwest Washington."
The memorial was funded by a group of American women. Natalie Harris Hammond, wife of industrialist and philanthropist John Hays Hammond, requested donations for its construction to commemorate the sacrifice the men of the Titanic made to save so many women and children.
The inscription reads: "To the brave men who perished in the wreck of the Titanic April 15, 1912. They gave their lives that women and children might be saved."

Dear Michael and Caroline,
My father lost most of his hearing, the result of nerve deafness, before he turned one year old.
He grew up in a small house in a section of New Jersey called Weequahic, in Newark, heavily Jewish in the 1940s and 1940s. His parents, Harry and Anna, both from Austria, sent him away, on a train, to a special school for the deaf in St. Louis, when he was a boy, maybe only eight or nine.
He was hard of hearing, severely so, able to make out perhaps 10% of all sounds, and this was back before hearing headsets or aids were of great use. He probably had difficulty making himself understood or understanding those around him, frustrating everyone, including himself.
The school in St. Louis was expensive, all that special training plus room and board and the train trips back and forth to New Jersey once or twice a year, but somehow, I'm told, my grandparents, then still of modest means, managed to pay for it year after year. It was a sacrifice and they went without, forgoing new clothes and furniture and vacation, because they wanted my father equipped to survive in the world with the skills he would need, most prominently an ability to speak and comprehend the speech of others.
My father was an absent-minded boy at home, his sisters told me, "his head in the clouds," a description later echoed by his mother-in-law, my grandmother Sheft. He kept to himself, in his room, and conducted small science experiments, once causing some chemicals to explode.
He went to school in St. Louis for 10 years and I'm certain it left him feeling lonely, maybe even abandoned, and I doubt he ever really felt all that close to anyone in his life, though I could well be wrong, and would like to be.
But let me stick with the little I know. He had two younger sisters, Zelda and Gail, and from what I have gathered, they got all the attention in those days. They were pretty, they had sociable personalities and they enjoyed perfect hearing. Whether my father resented this favoritism I can only guess. How his sisters treated him is purely a matter of speculation.
This much I know, too: my father was bright and athletic, and to no small degree driven. I say this because he played on his high school football team, and more important, because he was accepted as a student at Rutgers University in 1944. Rutgers was then, and still is, a highly respected school, and my father had to be among the very few students there with almost no hearing. As he later told me himself, he always sat in the first row in class, the better to hear the teacher, and also took more notes than other students, the better to doublecheck.
My father was pretty pigheaded back then, and this habit would prevail through his life, both to his credit and detriment equally. For example, it was generally accepted among his family that nobody could tell him much of anything. He was going to do what he was going to do, no matter what his parents or sisters or teachers told him.
I would later see this tendency at work myself years later, as would my mother, her mother and my sister.
P.S. — See Part 2 tomorrow.
