Live Shot of Yeasayer at Stubb's Thursday
By Abby Johnston,
12:21PM, Fri. Sep. 7, 2012
People stretched to the back fence at Stubb’s permanently dusty Waller Creek Amphitheater, a packed house even for a venue known for bringing in mega-acts. Standing four strong, Brooklyn's Yeasayer took the stage in defense of latest LP Fragrant World, deciphering its intricate songs into a dance hall set that boasted many band antiquities.
It's nerve-wracking watching a band like Yeasayer, which has built a reputation on defying even its own norm, swing out live with new material. Then again, the band's never been shy to change, jumping right in at Stubb's with an underwhelming take on new track “Blue Paper.”
Despite this shortsighted offering, the band was instantly captivating. Umbrella-like objects and constantly morphing lights stacked high behind the group, a much anticipated new stage set-up blogs have buzzed about. Watching the screens go from orbed blue to blood-red diamonds gave the sense of being inside a gemstone.
“Henrietta” was a solid bridge between old and new. Although it’s been in the band’s live rotation for years, it was finally pinned to Fragrant World. The altered song maintains its origins, but more exploratory and tweaked.
Continuing back into their chronicles, staple hit “2080” from first album All Hour Cymbals gave the future a grudging optimism, but still acquiesces to rioting cohesion when the bass dissolves into a shouted cry at the end. A medley of Odd Blood’s “Don’t Come Close” and “Madder Red” sent the crowd into a frenzy as the first “oooh-ed” falsetto chorus soared to life.
“Reagan’s Skeleton” brought perspective to the R&B gloss on the new disc, topping a booty-shaking bass with writhing and twitching quips that emanated from parts unknown. Yeasayer’s always courted a dance element in its aesthetic, evident with the can-do hook of “Ambling Alp,” the official closing before a meaty four-song encore.
Yeasayer delivered. The fans that rallied behind them with hate mail in response to Pitchfork writer Ian Cohen’s vicious review of Fragrant World are the same fans that continue embracing the sharp musical turns the quartet takes on each album. The consistency they exhibit stems from the challenge Yeasayer gives itself – to innovate both onstage and off.

CAIRO, Egypt — A son of Egypt’s jailed former president Mohamed Morsi was arrested on Wednesday morning for belonging to a banned group and spreading “fake news,” judicial and security sources said.
Abdullah Morsi, the youngest son of the deposed Islamist president, was arrested at dawn and is set to face prosecution, the sources said.
His father became Egypt’s first freely elected leader in 2012, but was overthrown by the military a year later and imprisoned following major protests against his rule.
In an interview with the Associated Press news agency published earlier this month, Abdullah complained that his family has only been allowed to visit his father — who faces the death penalty — three times in five years.
He also said prison authorities had failed to provide the former president with sufficient medical care for diabetes and high blood pressure.
President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s regime has led a crackdown against Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood movement, which it views as a terrorist organization.
Another son of the deposed president, Ossama Morsi, was arrested in 2016 for “incitement to violence” and is in prison.
Rights groups frequently accuse Egypt of attempting to silence critics by charging them with belonging to banned groups or disseminating “fake news.”
Authorities have denied allegations of human rights abuses and say they are protecting the country’s security and stability.
Since Morsi’s ouster, jihadist attacks have killed hundreds of police officers, soldiers and civilians.
Security forces have killed hundreds of jihadists since February, according to official sources, as part of a sweeping military campaign in the Sinai Peninsula against jihadist groups including the Islamic State.

Bietigheim-Bissingen (dpa/lsw) - The three-time German handball champion SG BBM Bietigheim has found a successor for coach Markus Gaugisch from the 2023/24 season. The former national coach Jakob Vestergaard will take over as coach for the Bietigheimer Bundesliga handball players from the summer, the club announced on Friday. As announced, Gaugisch will give up his current double function at the end of this season after three seasons and concentrate exclusively on his role as national handball coach for women.
He was national coach from March 2015 for one year. "I'm incredibly happy. The talks were very good from the first minute. Markus and the team did an incredible job, which I would like to continue," said Vestergaard about his future job in Bietigheim.

Princess Sophia was once an ordinary princess with a brother, a sister, a mother, and a father. However, extraordinary abilities developed in her early childhood. With every overwhelming emotion, whether it be love or anger, Sophia unleashes a destructive snowstorm. Fearing to harm her beloved family, Sophia fled home and isolated herself in her icy palace. Emotions are forbidden there, so Sophia can no longer invoke natural disasters.
A happy gnome, possessing magical powers himself, knows about Sophia’s fate. He also knows that Sophia’s frozen heart can be melted by true love and that she can learn to control her magical powers. He places a magical mirror on the path of two of Sophia’s servants, namely two snow yetis, for them to find it. They rejoice at the discovery and bring it to the ice palace, unaware of its magical power. Both yetis have long been in love with each other and often tease each other in the castle, much to Sophia’s dismay. To appease her, the yetis give her the found mirror.
The magical mirror allows Sophia to see what is happening in the city. There, she sees people joyfully enjoying the Christmas atmosphere in the beautiful town square. Joyful but deeply angered that she can no longer experience this happiness, she unleashes one of her biggest blizzards, simultaneously freezing the entire city and its inhabitants. Only the young man Andriy does not freeze. Troubled by this, Sophia doubts her powers. Are there people whom she cannot harm? Suddenly, the mirror dissolves, and Sophia appears before Andriy. Both are enchanted by each other, but Sophia nervously flees due to the feelings that arise. From that moment, as Andriy saw Sophia’s face, he had only one goal: to see Sophia again. As he wonders how this will happen, a snowman, built by two boys in the town square, comes to life. Surprised and happy to have found a new friend, they both set out to find Sophia.
Their journey initially takes them through the land of flowers, which enchant with sweet aromas and magical juices. Our heroes forget about time and immerse themselves in the pleasure of the fragrance. But when they finally continue their journey with the magical potion given to them by the Flower Fairy, they get lost in a dark forest where a band of robbers attacks them. The Snowflake manages to hide in time and watches as they tie Andriy. At the right moment, when the robbers are celebrating, the Snowflake pours the magical flower potion into the robbers' wine bottles. After a very loud celebration, the robbers suddenly fall into a deep sleep. Now, the friends are free again and continue their journey.
On a sunny morning, the two friends return to the forest, where they meet funny trolls. They turn out to be good-natured assistants of the Happy Gnome. He allows Andriy to look into the magical mirror, where he learns about Sophia’s fate and becomes even more determined to find and save her. After the Gnome shows them the way to the ice palace, they finally reach their destination. However, Sophia is so protected by her ice that reaching her is not easy. But eventually, their intentions become clear. After a few snowstorms and resistance from Sophia, she now allows the ice barriers to melt, and they unite in tender love.
The city comes to life, the hustle and bustle at the Christmas market continue. The yetis and the Snowflake hurry to the city to tell the story of the young lovers. Now Sophia and Andriy join the festivities, and Sophia can finally share her joy and love with people without causing a snowstorm. Everyone joyfully celebrates Christmas.

What indicates that conception has occurred?
Some women do notice signs and symptoms that implantation has occurred.
Signs may include light bleeding, cramping, nausea, bloating, sore breasts, headaches, mood swings, and possibly a change in basal body temperature..
Where is implantation pain located?
Implantation cramping is usually quite mild in comparison to menstrual cramps and some women describe a light pulling, tingling, or pricking sensation. Implantation cramps are typically felt in the lower abdomen or back and some women only experience them on one side of the body.
What are the signs of successful implantation?
Further Signs of Successful ImplantationSensitive breasts. After implantation, you might find that breasts appear swollen or feel sore. … Mood swings. You might feel emotional compared to your usual self, which is also due to changes in your hormone levels.Bloating. … Changing tastes. … Blocked nose. … Constipation.
How do you know if you conceived after ovulation?
Some women may notice symptoms as early as 5 DPO, although they won’t know for certain that they are pregnant until much later. Early signs and symptoms include implantation bleeding or cramps, which can occur 5–6 days after the sperm fertilizes the egg. Other early symptoms include breast tenderness and mood changes.
What is the next step after implantation?
Doctors refer to the fertilized egg as an embryo after implantation. Beginning in the ninth week of pregnancy, and until the pregnancy ends, doctors call the developing baby a fetus.
How long after implantation should I test?
If you are pregnant, your body needs time to develop detectable levels of HCG. This typically takes seven to 12 days after successful implantation of an egg. You may receive an inaccurate result if the test is taken too early in your cycle. Here are some signs that you should take a pregnancy test.
What does Conception Day mean?
The date of conception is the day on which a person’s baby is conceived. The calculator also estimates a possible range of days during which sexual intercourse might have led to conception based on sperm being viable for 3-5 days within a woman’s body.
Can a woman feel when sperm meets egg?
In the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst and eventually burrows into the uterine lining in a process called implantation. Although some women report feeling cramping or pain during the implantation process, not everyone will experience this symptom.
How long does it take from conception to implantation?
Implantation is an early stage of pregnancy. It happens when a fertilized egg attaches to a woman’s uterus. Implantation usually occurs 6 to 12 days after conception, or about day 25 of your cycle. For the most accurate reading, you should take a pregnancy test after your first missed period.
What happens between conception and implantation?
Implantation: what happens after the egg is fertilized It takes about 6-12 days for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus and attach to the uterus in a process known as implantation (1,8). The egg is pushed back towards the uterus by the cilia (1). The egg must attach to the uterus to become a viable pregnancy.

Though largely under appreciated in the States for much of its career, British rock quartet Blur was one of the biggest and most versatile bands the UK, produced in the 1990s and into the current decade before going on hiatus in 2003. With seven studio albums to its name over a 12-year span, plus a best-of album that was released three years before its last LP, 2003s Think Tank, there has yet to be a compilation that encompasses highlights from all of Blur’s works. Until now.
The Midlife: A Beginner’s Guide To Blur (Capitol/EMI) collection, which hit stores during the heart of summer in late July, features 25 tracks spread over two discs. It contains most of the usual hot tracks that put Blur on the map, including “Girls And Boys,” “Song 2” and “She’s So High.” But the band members themselves selected the tracks for both discs. Thus, there are some serious gems here, but in a couple places, curious choices as well.
Not so unpredictably, CD 1 starts out with the opening track from Blur’s most popular – at least here in America – self-titled 1997 album, “Beetlebum.” Graham Coxon’s zigzag guitars carry the core of this easygoing pop song that also has musical refrains and chord progressions underneath singer Damon Albarn’s falsetto that are not too different stylistically from British rivals Oasis.
Of course, there’s no mistaking these two seminal groups – Blur was the more consistent and musically adventurous force. One need not look any further than the inventive (and lyrically regret-filled) “Death Of A Party,” another ’97 self-titled album essential track on CD 1 to prove this point. It features some of the leanest and meanest Coxon guitar sounds in Blur’s catalogue. And its scary-to-bright melodies – the verses being spooky and choruses more pleasant-sounding – go back and forth like they were always meant to be together. It’s bloody brilliant, as British lads might say.
There really is no apparent chronological sequence to the tracklisting of both discs, but again, plenty of variety of sound. So on CD 1, you’ll hear the noisy “Bugman” (from the 13 LP) after hard-chargin’ sports stadium smash (1997) hit “Song 2,” both of which come after the lovey-dovey “Blue Jeans.” And, the near disco-dance pop of (1994 album) Parklife standout “Girls & Boys” comes right after “Beetlebum.” Elsewhere, the celebratory and horns-filled (1995 album) Great Escape single “The Universal” appears directly after “Death Of A Party,” and the early shoegaze-ish sounds of (debut 1991 album) Leisure track “Sing” appears near disc’s end.
The gospel/soul pop of (1999 album) 13’s lead single “Tender” leads off Midlife CD 2, and is followed by the only other Leisure track on the compilation, the dreamy guitar pop of “She’s So High.” The once out-of-print 1992 single “Popscene,” which later made its way onto the 1993 album Modern Life Is Rubbish, also appears on CD 2, along with excellent choices like the electric/acoustic straight out rocker “Chemical World” and “Advert” from that same record.
In fact, if you count “Popscene,” five tracks from Modern Life appear on Midlife. Four tracks each from Parklife, Blur’s self-titled 1997 CD and follow-up 13 album are included, along with three each from The Great Escape and final album Think Tank, and two from Leisure.
Aside from its non-chronological track list, this new compilation has a couple of minor flaws worth noting. First of all, most of the selections are either no-brainers or smart choices by the band. But given the fact that Blur released a best-of in 2000 that featured 18 studio tracks – 10 of which are repeated on the new disc – plus 10 more live ones, at 25 tracks, Midlife could have used a few more tracks, deep album cuts in particular, like “Jubilee” or the exotic punk rockish “We’ve Got A File On You.”
Also, though it may mean something to the band (which also includes bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree), I don’t think most fans would view “Strange News From Another Star,” from the ’97 CD, as an essential Blur song. And though “Battery In Your Leg” has memorable dark and Cocteau Twins-esque guitar lines, Blur could’ve chosen somewhere else for it other than ending CD 2. Perhaps the loud ‘n’ fast guitar licks of ’97 self-titled standout “M.O.R.” could’ve both substituted for “Strange News” and closed this compilation out with a bang.
Alas, as the title of this collection suggests, Midlife is only an introduction to Blur. It is most likely geared towards newer fans who know Damon Albarn mainly from his post-Blur group Gorillaz, and perhaps for those only vaguely familiar with the Blur catalogue – which probably includes Gorillaz fans as well. Its release coincides with the band’s short-lived reunion tour, which took place over the summer, with shows in native England, Ireland and Scotland in June and July.
The band may or may not tour or record again anytime soon and go on another extended hiatus, but in the meantime, if you need a comprehensive course on Blur’s rich library of music, Midlife is the right two-disc collection for you, either on its own or as a complement to its best-of release from nine years ago.

A new Apple iPad may be in the pipeline and scheduled to be launched by the first quarter of next year according to rumours from the Taiwanese press.
Digitimes says that components for a second generation 9.7-inch iPad tablet are "completing validation". These parts include a touch panel and the reinforced glass.
It is not known whether the new version would bring in some significant features like a forward facing camera for Facetime, the ability to have multiple logins, a more easily changed battery, more memory, support for multi-tasking and more connectors.
More than 3.3 million iPads have been sold in 10 countries since the device started shipping in the US in April. It was originally presented by Steve Jobs back in January and demand has continually outstripped supply ever since.
The tablet computer however will face new foes like the Samsung Galaxy Tab which will be its most formidable competitor.
Four of the biggest US mobile phone operators have confirmed that they will sell it and will allow video conferencing by default but over Wi-Fi only.

Inspired by the classic French potato-leek soup, vichyssoise, this savory pie is all about textures and flavor.
unbleached all-purpose flour
The holidays will be here before you know it. How about trying a pie this year that’s a little out of the ordinary? Quince and apples marry beautifully here, and you’ll bake this one off in your cast-iron skillet.
We can SO see this on a holiday table. The carrot-currant combination, as author Charoltte Druckman says, is a winner.
Hello, Thanksgiving! I created this recipe with the holidays in mind. It will easily stand up to your Aunt Betty’s scalloped potatoes that are loaded with butter, cheese, and cornflakes. The difference is this dish is dairy-free, yet remains insanely delicious. No need to save this one for the holidays—enjoy it year-round. Reprinted from Minimalist […]
I live for lazy weekends. Sleeping in, coffee in bed, and a breakfast I barely have to put any effort into is my idea of heaven. You can start this recipe the night before and finish the next morning— all you have to do is roll out of bed and turn on the waffle iron! […]

Manchester United’s Europa League first-round knockout tie against Real Sociedad is set to be played on a neutral ground due to the Spanish Government restricting flights from the United Kingdom.
United are scheduled to play Real Sociedad on February 18 in what will be their first knockout match in this season’s Europa League.
The Red Devils have found themselves in Europe’s second-tier competition after crashing out of the Champions League at the group stage.
Despite being demoted to the Europa League, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will once again fancy his side’s chances of lifting silverware, especially considering the Red Devils’ brilliant domestic form.
However, in a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, United are set to see their plans be disrupted after it has been claimed their tie against Real Sociedad later this month will be played outside of Spain.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Spanish Government have restricted incoming arrivals from the United Kingdom.
It is not yet known where the Red Devils’ match will take place, but with just 12-days to go until the two sides are set to kick-off, the race is on to find a suitable venue.

Car Style Chronicles
When Ford Learned to Keep the Oval Design to its Logo
Visual identity introduced in the 1990s caused problems that went much beyond the Taurus and the Scorpio
Visual identity is an essential component of modern car design. In short, it consists of creating styling guidelines to apply to every car of a company’s lineup. In general, the lineup features from small hatchbacks to large pick-ups, so the key to get at least a chance of success is to make the visual identity easy to adapt to car models of several body styles, sizes, purposes and price ranges.
Why does such a complex operation only have a chance of success? Because it works with a highly subjective topic. Design is directly influenced by people’s cultural, historical and social background so, if you present a given product to a hundred people, you’ll probably get a hundred different opinions. However, there are cases where their opinions align and not necessarily in a good way.
Let’s give you some context
The 1990s were very prolific for car design. Companies would let computers into their design centers to make simulations more freely and precisely and it paid off: the trend of smooth sheetmetal, big windows and aerodynamic body made even entry-level cars look futuristic compared to the boxy ones from the 1980s they replaced. Many complete revamps were performed in that decade.
The thing is, having so many options makes things go out of hand more easily. Fiat, for instance, tried to expand its lineup but many of the new models failed to sell as they should; Chevrolet updated its entire Brazilian lineup using Opel cars to make it simpler, but it set a standard it couldn’t fulfill later; and there’s Ford’s case, which resulted peculiar enough to deserve a Chronicle of its own.
Now, what did Ford do?
In theory, it simply developed a new design language and applied it to its cars. Inspiration would come from the oval shape of Ford’s logo; by making several components remind of such an iconic badge, people would naturally identify a Ford from the others. While such idea is interesting and still used nowadays — Cadillac’s grilles are based on its logo — things went wrong at Ford’s execution.
Before discussing the details, though, let’s do an exercise. Take a look at every photo of this article (you may click on each one to view it in high resolution); all the featured models were designed in this oval phase. Rather than finding them beautiful or not, how could you describe them? What interpretation can you make of each Ford of the 1990s and how would you put them in words?
Beauty is in the eye…
We can say the real problem here is the excess. By shaping such different parts after only one reference, Ford had to work around in ways that made many of them go against the industry’s standard, like headlights that made the Fiesta’s front fascia resemble a frowny face and a rear windshield whose bubble shape would be too playful even for a low-cost hatchback, let alone a midsize sedan.
In cases when Ford had to take a conservative approach, respecting that visual identity made the cars just too bland. The ’94 Mustang wasn’t nearly as sporty as its predecessors and literally applied a plastic cover to create the traditional three lines on its tail lights. The ’93 Mondeo, in turn, could be easily mistaken for several Asian cars, which isn’t exactly a compliment considering that time.
What consequences did that have?
If the design was the single problem, things would already be too bad because people would simply not want the cars; they’d be made fun of by anyone from their social circle who understands a little about cars. Now, when you add the huge tire/rollover issue which plagued the oval-shaped Explorer in the 1990s, you get too many signs that it would be wise to invest in a whole new design.
Then again, one must keep in mind that any changes in a car demand a lot of time and money. Even though designer Fritz Mayhew had several compelling arguments to defend its concoction, it’s easy to think the only reason why the second-generation Scorpio went all the way to the streets was that it would be too expensive to scrap it and create another one. What do you think about it?
How did this phase end?
When a visual identity gets acclaimed by press and buyers, the company often chooses to evolve it over the next years; make it sportier or more imposing like what Volkswagen has done to the Tiguan from 2016 to now. Now, speaking of the ’90s Ford again, it’s easy to understand why it chose to completely recreate its lineup for the next decade — seriously, it went beyond redesigning models.
The New Edge identity introduced angular shapes and an aggressive look that gave Fords more character than ever. In order to undoubtedly send a message of new times, it came along with all-new models like the Ka and imposed very strong replacements like the Escort for the Focus. The few models to only have a facelift were carefully planned to make things go well, like the ’98 Mondeo.
Visual identities are tricky, huh?
To be honest, they will be only if the automaker chooses to gamble with them. While Ford struggled, Volkswagen sailed through the same 1990s with nary a problem because it focused on improving its build quality; most of the models of that time are only considered beautiful by the brand’s fans. Peugeot, on the other hand, toned down the stylistic revolution and had much more success.
Ford’s case signaled the importance of planning the scope of a visual identity; it’s very easy that a given guideline works very well on one or two models but results in weird proportions and/or downright unappealing design on others. Appearance is the very first aspect people observe in a car and one of the most influential at the time of purchase, so its implications must not be neglected.

Guest Post by Dirk Booy: A very thoughtful colleague of my husband’s recommended a book that he knew both of us would like. Well, it was immediately purchased on the Kindle, but Dirk got to it first, and read it on his iPad. Since it is about a topic that is of great interest to him in his life and work, I knew that I would covet his opinion. Here is Dirk’s reaction and I hope to read it myself sometime very soon, and perhaps add a postscript. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
As a development worker, I’m sensitive to the way some authors write about the poor. At times they are depicted as ‘noble peasants’ who can do nothing wrong and at other times the poor are lazy souls waiting for the next handout. Rarely do I find an author like Katherine Boo who so
truthfully captures the complex lives of the poor in her book Behind the
Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity. Her true
story follows the lives of a number of slum dwellers close to the
international airport in Mumbai and captures their daily struggles in such
a way that both educates the reader but also helps us to see them as
neither ‘mythic nor pathetic’.
Boo’s narrative reads easily and draws the reader in quickly. Essentially
it is the story of one family’s struggle for justice after being falsely
accused of murder. As the story progresses, we are confronted with some of
the harsh realities of life in a Mumbai slum. The author deals with some
difficult questions like why the poor are often hardest on themselves and
why ‘the system’ is so corrupt. Although no real answers are given, it does
help the reader to at least understand the complexities of poverty.
Behind the Beautiful Forevers, is a great read and I personally found it
both entertaining as well as highly informative.
Netsuke: A carved button like ornament, esp. of ivory or wood, formerly worn in Japan to suspend articles from the sash of a kimono.
This book is about so many things…family memoir, inheritance, art history, people and culture, real life adventure, the sadness of war, travelogue…. all wrapped into a very compelling story for non-fiction. Before picking up this book I had never heard of netsuke so I really learned something about these intriguing sculptures and all of the places and times in which this particular collection lived.
The story begins with the author’s Uncle Iggie and his 264 netsuke on display in a glass vitrine in Japan. Then it goes back and traces how these items were acquired and the remarkable story of the collection and its owners. De Waal (who is an accomplished potter himself), in telling about the amazing survival of this unique collection, lovingly crafts an amazing history of his family. He is eloquent when he talks about the fascinating ways in which they and also we, acquire things and how we pass them along to others or future generations. Veronica Horwell puts this aspect of the book beautifully, in her review in The Guardian (Sat. 26 June 2010). “If you have ever cleared a house after a death you will recognise this feeling, that each handmade thing matters of itself, even when mortality casts it loose sequentially from maker and owners; the sense that responsibility for the present of an object is also a duty to its past, and an obligation to its onward transmission.”
Even though there are many pictures and maps in the book, oddly there are no pictures of the netsuke themselves except for the ‘hare with the amber eyes’ on the cover. De Waal does describe some of them and he does such a good job, I can see them in my mind’s eye. Perhaps it was his intention to allow the reader to imagine. However, they can be seen on de Waal’s website and my guess is that with the resounding success of this book, future publishings will include some photos of these amazing sculptures, none of which is bigger than a matchbox. I think my favourite is the turtles. I wish I could hold one in my hand or keep one in my pocket too. They are unusual and beautiful. Here is the link to the website:
It was at a reading conference that I heard someone said, “Everyone needs a series occasionally.” And this week was one of those times when I needed a series. The relaxation of picking up a book where one is already familiar with the characters was just what was needed for a bone weary soul. In the same way that comfort food is not necessarily as nutritious or healthy as what our steady diet should be, nevertheless, there is a place and time for it. Bring on the chocolate and the series! Rest for the weary and pleasure for the soul!
Set in Edinburgh Scotland, ‘The Forgotten Affairs of Youth’ is number 8 in the Isobel Dalhousie series. If you are unfamiliar with the series, begin with the first ‘The Sunday Philosophy Club’. The author is a Professor of Medical Law and no slouch. Though the reading seems light and easy in this series, there are weighty philosophical matters dealt with and moral and ethical issues galore. Isobel Dalhousie is a nosy Scottish philosophy editor who dabbles in sleuthing and other people’s lives. Her love life is a nice side plot and in this instalment, for those who are familiar with the series, something significant happens in that regard. I wonder if there will be another in this series, it felt like the final chapter to me.
Alexander McCall Smith’s books are a breath of fresh air no matter which of his series you delve into. There is charm and warmth. But also permission to enjoy human nature at its most recognizable and imperfect. Because that is what life is like. Why not relax into a series, it’s ok. It’s good for you. Check out the author’s website, it’s worth a visit. He has several to choose from.

Two Incredible Individual Flames Performances this Season
This fall, our Flames athletes represented the LFC across Illinois — with two students in our individual sports teams performing exceptionally. In golf, 10th grader Zora M. qualified for her second consecutive IHSA State Championship. Her determination and skill paid off, as she finished 49th out of 110 competing players. An incredible performance, of which she can be very proud! In sailing, senior Madeline T. placed first in the regional high school regatta after sailing a single-handed radial. This past weekend she traveled to New Orleans, where she competed against the top 12 high school sailors from across the United States in the Cressy National High School. She finished in the top half of the competition, placing sixth. Congratulations to both our students on their incredible achievements!

Kevin Maher and Elliott Kalan (Daily Show) wrote a fantastic script that we staged on board a period-appropriate ship, detailing a lost conversation from “King Kong.” This was featured at the Gangrene Film Festival in Utah, as well as Iron Mule in New York.
This is a series I created and curated with the help of a few friends, cineastes all, who were kind enough to recount movie plots with fevered enthusiasm.

Bone stress injuries and stress fractures are a common injury in track and distance runners and can cause significant loss of training time, often at crucial stages of the season. Stress fractures are defined as a partial or complete bone fracture that results from repeated application of a stress lower than the stress required in order to fracture the bone in a single loading. The annual incidence of stress fractures in track and field athletes is estimated to be 3.9 per 1000 hours of training with a prevalence of 76% and 10 – 20% of consultations in sports medicine are for stress fractures. It is important to diagnose stress fractures early so that they can be managed appropriately. If they are managed too conservatively this will result in unnecessary loss of training time and equally if higher risk stress fracture sites are not managed appropriately then they will not heal properly and it can take much longer for the athlete to return to running.
Stress fractures occur as a result of an overuse injury to bone. Sometimes they are due to fatigue within normal bone which is unable to adapt and repair quickly enough to cope with the repetitive biomechanical stresses and forces imposed through regular running. This can happen when runners build up their volume and intensity of training too quickly and is often seen when athletes return to training after a break.
The other reason why stress fractures occur is due to bone insufficiency or ‘weak bones’. In this situation, an athlete may have gradually built up their training over a 2-3 month period to a reasonable volume e.g. 40-50 miles per week. Due to underlying metabolic bone disease with low bone mineral density or osteoporosis, the structurally abnormal bone cannot adapt and repair itself to withstand the repetitive stresses and strains involved in normal training loads and this results in a stress fracture.
The commonest sites for stress fractures in runners are the tibial shaft (the shin), the navicular and the metatarsal bones in the foot. Other less common sites in runners include the femur (shaft and neck), sacrum, fibula, patella, talus, sesamoid, calcaneus, cuboid and the lower back.
A stress fracture should be considered in athletes with progressively worsening localised bone pain which comes on with running. It is important to look for risk factors for bone injury as described below. As things progress, the pain starts to come on earlier within training sessions and runs and the pain can persist after runs and during day to day activities such as walking. Sometimes pain in bed at night is a feature but this is not that common. It is important to know what volume of training the athlete is doing and how quickly this has been built up. There is often a sudden increase in volume or intensity of training with lack of rest days. The common risk factors should be asked about and examined for. A dietary history is important in male and female athletes and a menstrual history is very important in female athletes. Occasionally, there may be a family history of osteoporosis.
Clinical examination of athletes with a lower limb or pelvic stress fracture usually reveals localised bony pain on hopping and this is a useful screening test. There is often focal bony tenderness at a specific site. Pelvic, neck of femur and lower back stress fractures can be a bit more difficult to pick up on clinical examination but can be confirmed through imaging or speaking to pelvic therapy specialists. Early diagnosis through imaging helps to grade the bone stress injury, initiate appropriate management and minimise the time to return to running.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive and specific imaging modality for diagnosing stress fractures. It is important that the correct sequences are used to look for bone marrow oedema (STIR weighted sequence). MRI scans are also useful for excluding other soft tissue causes of localised pain. The other advantage of MRI is that it does not expose the patient to ionising radiation. There is a huge variation in the cost of paying privately for these scans and current rates vary from £195 to £500+. In most parts of the UK, it is difficult to get an MRI scan done quickly in the NHS for sports medicine related problems.
Plain x-rays (radiographs) are usually not that helpful although a discrete fracture line and/or reaction to the lining of the bone can sometimes be seen.
Radioisotope bone scans are sensitive for stress fractures but not specific i.e. they may also be positive in cases of infection, joint inflammation or cancer.
Computerised Tomography (CT) scans may be useful to establish the extent of a stress fracture and to plan surgery e.g. navicular stress fractures. A positive MRI scan but negative CT scan indicates a stress response which has a better prognosis.
Ultrasound Imaging may be useful in the diagnosis of metatarsal stress fractures where it can show a break in the cortex (lining) of the bone.
CT SPECT is a combination of CT and a nuclear imaging test where the images are superimposed on each other. It can be useful in some cases when the MRI scan is negative or inconclusive but the index of suspicion for stress fracture remains high.
DEXA scanning measures bone mineral density (BMD) and is an important investigation for screening athletes at risk of osteoporosis e.g. female athlete triad, stress fractures with a low volume of training, post menopausal runners with stress fracture, family history of osteoporosis. In athletes identified with low BMD (Z score < -1.0) and those with features of female athlete triad, DEXA scans should be repeated annually to see if the BMD is improving.
Blood testing for vitamin D status is important as if low this can delay healing and will increase the risk of further bone stress injuries. Vitamin K deficiency can be a risk factor for stress fractures but this is an expensive test and is not routinely tested for at first presentation. Other blood tests used to investigate amenorrhoea (no periods for >90 days) are thyroid function tests, prolactin, FSH, LH and oestradiol levels.
How are bone stress injuries graded?
Mild unicortical uptake
Moderate unicortical uptake
Positive STIR and T2
Acitivity in 50% of bone width
Positive T1 and T2
Fracture / Periosteal reaction
Grades 1 to 3 are called stress reactions and grade 4 is a stress fracture. This distinction is important for management as stress reactions take less time to heal and the athlete can return to running several weeks sooner.
Who is at risk?
Intrinsic (to the athlete)
External rotation of the lower limb
Inadequate recovery/rest periods and training with fatigued muscles
Bone anatomy: femoral anteversion, leg length difference, genu varum and valgum(bow legged and knock kneed), narrow tibia(shin)
Muscle: small calf girth
Hill running (particularly downhill)
Harder training surface
Older age (>20)
Footwear (weak evidence that shoes play any role)
Poor nutrition, particularly low calcium intake and low overall energy intake
Previous bone stress injury
Aerobic fitness and sporting experience
Family history of bone stress injury or osteoporosis
Female Athlete Triad
Women with the ‘Female Athlete triad’ are especially at risk of bone stress injury. This condition affects many female endurance runners with low body weight/BMI. It consists of low energy availability with or without disordered eating, amenorrhoea (loss of regular menstruation/ no periods for >90 days) and low bone mineral density / osteoporosis. Athletes with disordered eating or conditions such as anorexia or bulimia need specialist medical input. For more information on this important condition have a look at this useful website: www.femaleathletetriad.org
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)7
The RED-S concept has been adapted from a previously identified syndrome, the female athlete triad, which affects active women with low-energy availability, menstrual dysfunction and low bone mineral density. Emerging data suggest there may be a parallel syndrome in undernourished male athletes with resulting hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and impairment of bone health. RED-S is a comprehensive model depicting a low-energy status in physically active women or men. (Figure 6)
Stress fractures with a low risk of not healing properly can be managed conservatively in primary care (GP and a local physio) by stopping running. Table 2 outlines stress fractures at low and high risk of not healing properly (non union). The more serious the stress fracture the longer the athlete must rest the limb and depending on the pain they are experiencing, visit a PT service such as this LifeMotion Physical Therapy clinic or others. The general principle of managing low risk stress fractures is to offload from running for 6 to 8 weeks and then to slowly increase the volume of steady running. During this first 6 to 8 weeks athletes are usually safe to cross train to maintain cardio-respiratory fitness. Commonly used cross training modalities include:
- Deep water running / aqua jogging (Figure 7)
- Cross-trainer (elliptical)
- Nordic Ski
The rate of resumption of running will depend on the athlete and the symptoms but generally most runners will build back up to full training over the following 6 weeks (12 – 14 weeks from initial offload).
Table 3 Stress fractures at low and high risk of non-union3
Low risk of non-union
High risk of non-union
(medial cortex – lower and inner border)
(superior cortex – upper and outer border)
Tibial shaft (posteromedial cortex) –
Inside edge of shin
Tibial shaft (anterior cortex) –
Front of shin
Distal 2nd to 5th metatarsals
Proximal 2nd and 5th metatarsals
Proximal second metatarsal
(inner bony prominence of ankle)
With stress reactions(as opposed to fractures) at low risk sites, the offload from running can be cut to 4 weeks followed by a gradual return to full training over the following 4-6 weeks. These time frames are a guide only and can vary significantly depending on any ongoing symptoms or lack thereof, the site and grade of bone stress injury, the athlete’s risk factors, personal circumstances / short term goals and availability of other rehabilitation facilities such as Alter G (figure 8) and underwater treadmills.
Pain can be managed by the use of simple analgesia such as paracetamol or cocodomol. Anti-inflammatory medication should be avoided as they can delay bone healing5. Sometimes crutches are needed for the first 1-2 weeks. Pneumatic bracing with an aircast boot, has been shown to reduce time to return to full activity in some lower limb stress fractures e.g. tibia6.
Modifiable risk factors need to be dealt with early to prevent recurrence e.g. vitamin D and calcium supplementation, optimise energy availability in female athlete triad, address any biomechanical factors and consider the need for orthotic prescription, appropriate strength and conditioning exercises are very important.
Stress fractures at high risk of non-union require specialist input with a sports physician and/or an orthopaedic surgeon.
Other treatment options sometimes used in elite athletes to expedite return in time for major competitions include the use of Bisphosphonate medication, Parathyroid Hormone, Strontium, Calcitonin, Exogen (pulsed ultrasound), Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). It should be stressed that the evidence base behind these interventions is still growing. They are expensive and some carry a significant risk of side effects. There is no substitute for offloading from running and allowing time for the body to heal itself naturally.
Prevention is always better than waiting until the injury or illness has occurred. Modifiable risk factors should be screened for and addressed. The commonest risk factors for stress fractures seen in UK based runners are vitamin D deficiency, inadequate calcium intake in the diet, low energy availability due to inadequate calorie intake to match calorie expenditure through training, low bone mineral density in female athletes with the female athlete triad, inadequate muscle strength/conditioning and a rapid progression of training volume and / or intensity without adequate time for recovery to allow bone to adapt.
Consider the following:
- Speak to an experienced coach about your training schedule. This should involve a gradual progression of running volume and intensity over several months and years with annual periodisation of training. Recovery days need to be built into the weekly running schedule to allow bone time to adapt to the loads placed on it. This is especially important in younger athletes (<20) with an immature skeleton.
- Ask your GP to check a vitamin D level twice a year in October/November and March/April time and if needed, taking high dose vitamin D3 supplementation if the level is less than 75nmol/L.
- Take a daily vitamin D supplement e.g. 1000units Vitamin D3 daily
- Aim to get 1200mg of calcium / day through your diet e.g. milk and other dairy products or through supplementation.
- Discuss your daily calorie requirement and how to achieve this with a sports nutritionist. Aim for a Body Mass Index >19 kg/m2.
- For female athletes who don’t have regular periods, you should ask your GP to arrange a DEXA scan to look for evidence of osteoporosis. This investigation is also important for male and female athletes who have had more than 1 stress fracture or who have other risk factors for osteoporosis. Where low bone density/osteoporosis is identified, you should be advised on management by your doctor.
- In athletes with the female athlete triad, ideally seek out a consultation with a sports medicine doctor. There are now well over 100 specialists in Sport & Exercise Medicine working across the UK. In athletes with a possible eating disorder seek medical input early.
- An appropriate weekly strength and conditioning programme to address core stability, gluteal control, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscle strength and endurance. This requires more than a weekly circuit training session. Multidirectional hopping (for as little as 2-3 mins daily) and appropriate loading for the lumbar spine and wrists is also important in preventing stress fractures and in optimising bone mineral density and bone architecture at these sites.

If all the buttons on the front don't work I would beleive it was a cable that is not connected correctly. I've seen things like this happen on otherwise perfectly good equipment. It's probably an easy fix however, monitors have enough power to KILL YOU (dead not a little bit very dead) if your not sure what your doing find someone who is most things I encourage you to open up and play with but not monitors. (did I mention you could die)

If there is a flashing led on front of the monitor, that indicates a fault condition.
The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the Monitor goes on protection there are only two possible causes.
1 The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.
2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or a broken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , starting the flashing light.
If you are in situation one, then the monitor will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours, sometimes even minutes.
If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.
Common faults that can occurr suddenly are a blown capacitor on power board, the inverter board powering up backlight lamp has blown, or a fault on main lcd controller board.
check also the video cable, if the cable is shorting, or the connector is bad, you can get same flashing state because of the video cable.
Check connectors, try moving the video cable, and if the cable is not built in, then also try a replacement cable.
If under warranty contact Viewsonic to find out a Viewsonic service point.
See:ViewSonic - Support & Service
If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

Go into the NVidia control panel, create a custom resolution (for the ViewSonic VG2021m, you want 1400x1050, 60Hz), and test it. When the test asks you if it looks ok and you click "yes", it *still* is not activated-- it is simply added as one of the resolutions available for the monitor, and goes back to the same setting you had before... so it looks like it didn't work. But then, if you go under "Change resolution", you'll see your new setting is available there. Choose it, and you are good.
It's working for me, on my T61.

there are possible reasons why your monitor shows nothing on your screen...
First, you need to check if the power cable of your monitor is well connected to a wall socket or AVR (and that you are sure there is supply output current on the AVR or in the wall outlet)
IF found that power cable is fix and secure... my suggestion is you bring the monitor to a credible technician...Because the possible reason why only black is seen on your screen, is because the backlight inverter could be busted already.. the backlight inverter which is located on the upper and lower back edge of the monitor is the light source responsible for giving image display of your lcd monitor.. Another reason could be is a deffective high voltage ballast transformer which is responsible for generating high votlage supply for the backlight....
It is too risky for you to do the repair by yourself without proper knowledge and right tools to do this.. So don't waste time consult a technician and or possible avail of the warranty if there is any...
Hope it is clear now to you..
Much appreciated if you rate this help.. thanks..
