Two police officers have been given "words of advice" after an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation in to their actions when the News of the World hacked Milly Dowler's mobile phone messages in 2002.
Surrey Police Deputy Chief Constable Craig Denholm and Detective Superintendent Maria Woodall will be given verbal and written warnings.
The pair were referred to the IPCC in November 2012, over accusations that Deputy Chief Constable Denholm knew Milly's phone was being accessed by the News of the World and that Detective Superintendent Woodall over information she provided Surrey Police during an internal investigation.
Police believe this latest suspected conspiracy took place primarily during 2005 to 2006 and is separate from the alleged conspiracy already being investigated by Operation Weeting in which a number of people have already been charged.
As part of the new lines of inquiry six people were arrested this morning on suspicion of conspiracy to intercept telephone communications All of them are journalists or former journalists:
- A 46-year-old man was arrested in the London Borough of Wandsworth
- A 39-year-old man was arrested in the London Borough of Greenwich
- A 45-year-old man was arrested in the London Borough of Wandsworth
- A 39-year-old woman was arrested in Cheshire
- A 33-year-old woman was arrested in the London Borough of Islington
- A 40-year-old woman was arrested in the London Borough of Lambeth
All six of those arrested worked for the News of the World.
Six current and former journalists in London and Cheshire have been arrested by detectives investigating "a further suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails by a number of employees who worked for the now defunct News of the World newspaper", Scotland Yard said.
A number of high profile phone-hacking cases are to be settled at the High Court today.
It is the latest in a series of case management conferences, ahead of a hearing in June.
At that time, compensation will be assessed in any outstanding claims for the second wave of the litigation.
Agreed statements of around 15 claimants could be read out to Mr Justice Vos today, with an estimated 160 claims on the register, and more coming forward.
Actress Sienna Miller was the first to publicly settle her privacy and harassment claim, for £100,000, in June 2011, with her ex Jude Law receiving the highest pay out so far, with compensation of £130,000.
Sentencing, Mr Justice Fulford told April Casburn she had been guilty of "a corrupt attempt to make money out of sensitive and potentially very damaging information".
The judge went on:
He said he was particularly concerned about Casburn's child, and admitted that her absence while she is in prison could be damaging.
But he said that, had she not been arrested, the detective would have returned to work by now, and therefore the child would be cared for by others anyway.
Detective Chief Inspector April Casburn was today jailed for 15 months at the Old Bailey after being found guilty last month of misconduct in public office for offering to sell information to the News of the World.
Casburn, 53, had been warned that a jail term was likely despite the fact that she is in the process of adopting a child.
Senior Scotland Yard Officers were criticised today by the Police Watchdog for showing 'poor judgment' in hiring a former News of the World Executive.
Neil Wallis was appointed as a PR Consultant in October 2009.
Although the IPCC said there was no evidence of Corruption, the report did find that Police Policies were breached.Ria Chatterjee reports.
IPCC Deputy Chair Deborah Glass explains the watchdog's findings.
The Metropolitan Police have issued a statement in response to today's publication of the IPCC report into the involvement and actions of Assistant Commissioner John Yates in the recruitment process for the daughter of Neil Wallis:
The IPCC carried out an independent investigation into the involvement and actions of Assistant Commissioner John Yates in the recruitment process for the daughter of Neil Wallis and the MPS accepts its findings.
As the IPCC has previously made clear, it found no evidence of misconduct that would justify disciplinary proceedings in relation to allegations about forwarding a CV for the purposes of employment at the MPS.
The report recommends that we review our practices in relation to senior staff who refer friends and relatives to our Human Resources department for appointment, attachment and holiday employment.
The MPS has been the subject of much external scrutiny in recent months and the review recommended by the IPCC will form part of our wider response in taking forward the emerging issues and advice such as that from Elizabeth Filkin and the Leveson Inquiry.

Over the past 200 years human beings have poured more than two trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As ‘The Changing Sea’ illustrates, carbon dioxide isnt just changing the climate on land, its transforming the ocean in ways that havent been seen for millions of years. Is mass extinction the inevitable fate of the future sea? Are we willing to form a new partnership with the ocean and its creatures? If not, then our future and the future of thousands of species may hang in the balance. Narrated by David Suzuki. Co-produced by Merit Motion Pictures and CBCs ‘The Nature of Things’, in association with National Geographics International and Science Channel (USA).

President Obama has promised to pay for health care reform mostly by ridding the system of wasteful spending. The message is that reform will be painless: We’re cutting the fat, not the meat. But what if your paycheck is part of the fat? More to the point: Does cutting back on wasteful health care spending mean that doctors will make less money?
Actually, let’s split that question in two. The first is whether U.S. doctors are overpaid. The second is whether paying them less would save all that much. The answers, respectively: yes and no.
There’s no question that doctors in the United States make a lot of money, especially compared with their counterparts abroad. American doctors make, on average, four times what French doctors earn. And it’s not just because everyone in America makes more money: The gap between doctors’ incomes and those of professionals is far bigger in the United States than elsewhere. In the 1990s, the ratio of the average American doctor’s income to the average American employee’s income was about 5.5. In Germany, it was 3.4; Canada, 3.2; Australia, 2.2; Switzerland, 2.1; France, 1.9; Sweden, 1.5; the United Kingdom, 1.4.
American doctors’ salaries are high for several reasons. The first is the cost of education. In France and Great Britain, students go directly to medical school after high school, and their entire educations are free. In the United States, students must first get a bachelor’s degree before attending medical school, and the average medical student’s debt is $155,000. Then come at least three years of residency, which usually pays less than $50,000 a year. After all that, it’s no wonder doctors feel entitled to six-figure salaries. Another reason U.S. doctors get paid a lot is market forces: In a single-payer system like Britain’s, the government can bargain down the prices of treatments, which leads to lower income for doctors. No such entity exists in the United States—Medicare is big, but not that big.
Finally, there is the notion of opportunity costs. Presumably, many doctors could have opted for jobs on Wall Street or in management consulting instead of choosing to go to medical school. “They sit in the Princeton eating clubs,” says health care economist Uwe Reinhardt, “and one guy just got a starting job at Goldman for $150,000. Another guy says, ‘I’m going to medical school to take on $35,000 a year in debt.’ That leads to a kind of hunger for money to catch up.”
But none of this really matters, because doctors’ salaries aren’t a large enough chunk of health care spending in the United States to make a difference. According to Reinhardt, doctors’ net take-home pay (that is, income minus expenses) amounts to only about 10 percent of overall health care spending. * So if you cut that by 10 percent in the name of cost savings, you’d only save about $26 billion. That’s a drop in the ocean compared with overhead for insurance companies, billing expenses for doctors’ offices, and advertising for drug companies. The real savings in health care will come from these expenses.
That said, it appears that health care reform will have some leveling effect on doctors’ salaries. Primary-care doctors, for example, make significantly less than specialists. While the median salary of a family doctor is $137,000, the median anesthesiologist makes $260,000. The House bill would boost Medicare payments to primary-care physicians by about 10 percent. The theory is that rejiggering payment incentives will attract more primary-care doctors—which would promote prevention and front-end treatment—and reduce the flow of patients to specialists.
The inevitable result: Primary-care doctors get paid a little more, specialists a little less. But even that could be a tough sell. “Whenever you’re talking about cutting specialists’ pay, you’re going to have a lot of resentment,” says Kevin Pho, a primary-care physician in New Hampshire who writes the blog KevinMD. That’s why the bills don’t explicitly cut specialists’ payments. “It’s not necessarily that I’m paying this doctor $2 more and this one $2 less,” says Ellen-Marie Whelan, a health policy analyst at the Center for American Progress. “It will come from savings within the system.”
Beyond that, however, it’s hard for the government to set physician income. It can’t dictate the costs of treatments as in France or the United Kingdom. It can only negotiate lower prices through Medicare and hope that the rest of the industry follows suit. (It often does.)
That might be a good thing. After all, it is possible to pay doctors too little. In the same way many Americans complain about low teacher salaries, chatter about low doctors’ salaries is common in France, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Some would say it’s best to err on the side of overpaying doctors than underpaying them. Moreover, Americans don’t seem to mind paying doctors a lot—especially if insurance companies are the ones paying.
That’s why economists tend to focus not on how much doctors get paid but, rather, on how they’re paid. For example, many doctors are paid fee-for-service—every time they prescribe a treatment or a test, they get a cut—which incentivizes overspending. If doctors were paid a flat rate for every patient they saw plus a bonus for positive outcomes, that would incentivize better health rather than more spending.
None of these solutions is perfect. As Harvard’s David Himmelstein and Steffie Woolhandler have argued, “Even paying doctors based on quality measures (using data from medical records that the doctors themselves create) can be fudged.” Plus, whichever payment method is used, it doesn’t change the fact that someone, somewhere, will be paid less. And they’re not going to be happy about it.
Correction, Sept. 11, 2009: This article originally stated that doctors’ take-home pay amounts to 1 percent of overall health care spending. In fact, it’s about 10 percent. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

Agreed with Rebecca, you can't pass a cold to your cat (you can pass on certain eye infections and other stuff but that's another topic). However, if your cat does have a cold it needs to be treated by a vet as what is commonly called a cold among felines can get very, very bad. Cats can lose their eyes for example, but those are of course cases that have been left untreated for a long time, so don't panic either :)
If the cat regularly sneezes, or has more eye discharge than usual (especially with red eyes or the pink skin underneath the eyelid (conjunctiva) easily showing), or has trouble breathing, or has, well, snot running out of their nose... Definitely time for the vet.
They will usually prescribe antibiotics that should be given until a day or so after all the symptoms have passed, so get more if necessary.

(December 15, 2021 / JNS) Israel is concerned about the prospect of Hezbollah operatives entrenched in Lebanon gaining access to chemical weapons, Walla reported on Tuesday.
The report came one day after The Washington Post reported that Syrian chemical-weapons targets were attacked by Israel in 2020 and 2021.
Citing a security source, Walla stated that while chemical weapons have in recent years been used against opposition figures and global jihadist organizations in Syria, Israel is concerned by the prospect of such weapons “reaching Hezbollah’s hands.”
The source told Walla that Syrian President Bashar Assad “has big internal problems,” adding that Assad was seeking to stabilize his regime after years of civil war that began in 2011 with the start of the Arab Spring.
“He is mainly busy with rebuilding the destroyed country. The last thing he wants to deal with is Israel,” said the source.
That assessment, however, does not rule out an attempt to transfer dangerous weapons to Syria, according to the report.
The Assad regime possesses extensive knowledge on various types of chemical and biological weapons, which the country has possessed for decades, stated the report—from the time of Hafez Assad, Bashar Assad’s father and longtime ruler, who died in 2000.
The Syrian Human Rights organization estimates that more than 1,500 civilians have been killed and more than 10,000 injured by the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons.

Has anyone got any example code or project to implement a USB MIDI host on, for example, the LPC54628?
In the SDK there are example projects for HID, MSD, CDC etc. but nothing for MIDI.
I'm aware of nxpUSBlib from around 2016, but I'm looking for something that is based on the code structure of the current SDK host examples so that I can efficiently drop in support for MIDI along side other device classes.
I'm well aware that the LPC54xxx does not have any midi host examples. I'm hoping that the wider community might be able to provide some insight or assistance.
Is there a reason that midi is not covered in the current SDKs?
What demo code is included in SDK is a market decision.
As I know lpcopen for LPC176x includes USB MIDI host code. You can take a look at MIDIClassHost.c/h file. However SDK doesn't support it.
If any 3rd party has demo for it, welcome to share here.

Belly fat is disconcerting for a number of reasons, from the way you feel about your body-image to the negative health consequences you may be living with. Facing the facts is a must, though, if you're ever to resolve the worrisome problem of too much belly fat. Here's why you might be dealing with it and what you can do about it.
1. Your Metabolism Has Started to Slow Down
Although everyone is different, most people experience a slow-down with their metabolism at some point after a certain age. It could be 35 or not until you're 65, but whenever it hits, it may easily lead to weight gain and in particular, bulging of your belly and buttocks.
At this point in life, nutrition, and regular exercise become essential for long-term health and metabolic stability. Consider giving up all of the foods that will slow you down, such as deep-fried, fatty, sugary and processed items. Turn instead toward natural, whole foods your body can better utilize with the slower metabolism.
2. You May Have Undiagnosed Thyroid Problems
The thyroid is a tricky, sensitive gland, which can wreak total havoc on all your bodily systems, including those that contribute to stubborn body fat. Most annual checkups don't include blood tests for thyroid problems unless you're having symptoms of hyper or hypothyroid; however, if your body has changed dramatically, along with your appetite, sleeping patterns, moods or energy, ask for the tests to be run. They could reveal hidden issues which can't otherwise be known. If a thyroid issue is uncovered, the solution may be as simple as a daily hormone replacement tablet.
When the thyroid is culpable for weight gain, the first step is getting the thyroid hormones stabilized. Thereafter, you'll need to watch what you eat and engage in a doctor-supervised exercise regimen, as working out with a thyroid imbalance may lead to an irregular heart rate. Other issues, though, such as fatigue, should clear up once you have the thyroid under control.
3. You've Become Complacent
It's easy to let time get away from you, where you originally meant to keep up with your body and health. Being busy often means not prioritizing your health and eating quick and easy meals made of processed foods, rather than wholesome and nutritious. Life gets ahead of your intentions and within a short period of time, you find yourself overweight, unhappy about it and with the daunting task of slimming your midsection to normal range.
For these circumstances, it's wise to devise a plan. Schedule time at the gym or to work out at home right on your business calendar, to give it the importance it deserves; keep a weight loss journal and document what works and what doesn't and if you can, find a friend to exercise with, as doing so increases your chance of succeeding and the level of enjoyment.
4. Your Workout Is Not Working For You
For belly fat, all workout routines are simply not created equal. The simple act of burning calories just won't do, so you must adopt an area-specific routine that really gets to work on the midsection mayhem plaguing you.
Engage in more strength training to increase your muscle mass, such as lifting weights and cardio routines. Since muscles burn more calories, the more muscle you have, the more belly fat you will burn. This is true at any age, but the higher up you get in years, the more truth it rings for you and hence, the more work you're going to have to do to eliminate and prevent belly fat.
5. Your Abdominal Muscles Need Repair
Under certain circumstances, such as difficult or numerous pregnancies or serious injury, abdominal muscles can become weakened, limiting their function. When this happens, it's next to impossible for a person to remedy belly fat, simply because they can't utilize their muscles the way they once could. Such a predicament can easily lead to being overweight and may compromise health in other areas, like back pain due to poor posture.
If a doctor has determined your muscles have separated or been seriously strained or that the delicate protective tissue surrounding them (fascia) is damaged, a procedure called an abdominoplasty may be in order. This is where surgeons go in to repair the damage, restoring your strength and quite possibly, improving your health. Abdominoplasty, often called a simple "tummy tuck," not only removes fat, but it puts your stomach muscles back in working order, so that you are eventually able to resume a traditional workout routine, keeping your weight in check.
To learn more about these and other factors, contact resources like Medilaser, Cosmetic Surgery and Vein Center.

A South London estate that was infested with 'cockroaches and mice' has won a victory over its millionaire landlord.
Dorchester Court in Herne Hill has been locked in a dispute with its landlords in one form or another for more than 30 years, with a variety of problems.
The estate is owned by Heinrich Feldman, listed on the Sunday Times rich list and is believed to be worth more than £200 million but his tenants say they have been left in 'unbearable' conditions.
As well as the vermin infestations in multiple flats across the estate, the latest issue was the central and hot water.

There have been reports of elderly residents being forced to sit in their kitchens and use the hobs for heat when the landlord refused to do the work needed for more than a year.
They have also been accused of failing to provide compensation for electricity bills during this time, with one key worker 'saddled' with a £12,000 electricity bill when they tried to keep warm.
Last week the Dorchester Tenants Union claimed victory and said they have pressured Lambeth Council to issue an Improvement Notice to force the landlords to fix the heating and hot water.
Residents have also complained about 'rotting' balconies attached to their flats earlier this year.
A Dorchester Court resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, has said the issues unveiled are nothing new.
He said: "The problems we are facing now have been problems for decades. It's way overdue.
"I'm surprised by the good news in the middle of a pandemic and so used to bad news. We're used to people ignoring us."
The resident said the mice and cockroach infestation came as a result of cavities inside the building that should have been closed.
"I know six to seven flats that had this issue," he added.
A Lambeth Council spokesperson said: “We are aware of resident’s serious concerns about conditions at Dorchester Court. Council representatives are meeting residents, Lambeth councillors and the local MP this week to discuss the situation.
“Investigations and assessments are currently taking place and we will use our enforcement powers as appropriate.”
MyLondon has approached Property Partners, who manage the estate on behalf on Feldman's landlord company Manaquel, for comment.

Earlier in the day, the officials had arrested a youth for his alleged involvement in the Jorhat grenade blast, for which the banned militant group United Liberation Front of Asom - Independent (ULFA-I) had claimed responsibility.
Officials seized a mobile phone from the possession of the individual suspected to be involved in the matter. They were questioned by the police who continued the probe in the case.
Based on the confessions of the youth, officials went on to detain the second youth. He was nabbed from Moran town which falls in the Dibrugarh district of Assam.
Jorhat Police informed that they took the help of Moran Police in capturing the second suspect in the Jorhat grenade blast case.
The second suspect was identified by officials as Achyut Gogoi, a resident of Jorhat's Titabor. He was traveling from Jorhat to Dibrugarh on a truck when he was intercepted by the police, added officials.
Earlier on December 14, news broke that just days after a grenade blast in Sivasagar district, an explosion occurred near the Lichubari Miltary camp in Assam's Jorhat.
As per initial reports, the sound of a loud explosion was heard near the military camp this evening after which the situation turned chaotic in the area. As a precautionary measure, the main gate of the Lichubari Military Camp was closed post the explosion, reports stated.

KARACHI: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah said Thursday that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan should come to the Parliament and discuss his grievances instead of calling for a million march.
Speaking to media representatives outside Bilawal House in Karachi, the opposition leader said that the current political system would be held dysfunctional if decisions were taken through street protests despite the presence of a functioning Parliament.
Shah was speaking in reference to the PTI chief’s call for a ‘million march’ on Islamabad scheduled for August 14.
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader also alleged that the Model Town tragedy in Lahore was the result of incompetence on part of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
He said that the PPP had rendered immense sacrifices for the sake of democracy and had laid down lives in the quest to safeguard the existing system.
Also read: Seeking justice by force?
Furthermore, the opposition leader said that the PPP was committed to strengthening the country’s institutions, adding that all institutions were currently stable except the Parliament.
He said the PPP would not become a part of the conspiracy to derail democracy nor would the party support the move to destabilise the system currently in place.
Shah’s comments come a day after the PTI chief said that his party would go to any extent to bring all those to book who had “stolen public mandate” and ensure that these elements should be tried under Article 6 of the Constitution.

When I left for college, I was a small town girl. All of my memories were rooted in the same community, where I knew someone around every corner and always had family nearby. The first few weeks away were rough. I was miserably homesick and the 2 1/2 hours between school and home felt so far. Then I was walking across campus on a beautiful September day and I felt this bubble of contented happiness well up deep inside. At that moment, I knew I had made the right choice and was where I needed to be.
I've felt that bubble again over the years. Shortly after moving to D.C. and meeting Alex, it came as I was walking down the sidewalk to shop at Eastern Market. A year or two in to law school, watching the lights come on in my neighborhood on a cold Fall evening. Walking the dog around my apartment complex back here in Florida. Its my touchstone, that feeling, my signal that I'm making the right choices in my life. That the world is simply right. Not an every day thing, but a little message from myself that I hear in moments of peace.
Last week I realized I haven't felt that bubble in quite a while. Instead, I've been feeling a nagging disquiet. Nothing is wrong, but I wasn't entirely sure it was right either. Too often irritable voices have snapped out at one another, leaving bruised feelings that never quite have a chance to completely heal. Too many work concerns have followed us home, intruding and casting a shadow. Life has felt too full, too uncertain - too much. My attempts at something different have provided only momentary relief, followed by frustration when the simple task of choosing dinner leaves us in our separate corners. I've started to think again about what I would do if I left my job, what the after might be if this job I have loved is becoming a weight I can't bear. To reconsider choices and wonder if its time to adjust our plans, but with no idea what the alternative might be.
And then we spent this weekend at the beach, just the two of us away from everyone. It wasn't the clean escape I had hoped; those irritable voices managed to find us there. But, it was a chance to find our rhythm again. Lying together watching an afternoon storm rage on the ocean, holding hands as we walked on a quiet beach at night, listening to live music in a smoky bar - none of it planned but simply unfolding. The next morning I took my coffee out on the beach and walked by myself there in the quiet, alone with nature. And in that moment of peace, my touchstone welled within me. All is well.
Its reassuring, this knowledge that my disquiet is superficial. That what resides deep within is happiness. I can't be done looking for the shift that will put things in place; I know that. Superficial disquiet can become something deeper if I don't respond to the message being sent. But, it helps to know I'm playing with the right pieces.

The other U.S. servicemen who rode the van could be considered “conspirators.”
“All of them contributed to the crime,” he said. “And that includes the driver.”
Colmenares has not met Olivia but based his comments on this reporter’s account of the interview with the witness.
The human rights lawyer however said there is “something missing”. “I believe the police is keeping something,” he said.
Colmenares said there is a big possibility that the police already had custody of the six U.S. servicemen after the crime had been committed.
He pointed out that nobody could have gotten the full names of the six accused if the police were not able to interview the suspects face-to face.
He said the victim could not have taken all their names because she was drunk. Neither did the driver because nobody registers the full names of his/her companions when renting a vehicle, he added.
A hearing is set at the Olongapo City Municipal Trial Court on Nov. 23.
It took two nights, two days before Olivia agreed to be interviewed. She rejected Bulatlat’s request twice. But after some prodding, she finally agreed to tell what she knew about the biggest rape scandal involving American soldiers to hit the country after the rape case of 12-year old Rosario Baluyot in 1987.
Olivia admitted working as a prostitute during in the 1980s, when the U.S. bases were still here. She agreed to be interviewed on condition of anonymity. (Bulatlat.com)

Translation of Required Materials in Calgary
Calgary — one of the largest Canadian cities, located 300 km south of Edmonton, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. Today, this city of the province of Alberta is considered to be the capital of the country’s oil industry. As of 2013, Calgary had more than 1,150,000 inhabitants that make it the third most populous city in Canada. And thanks to the developed infrastructure, the city is the largest automobile, railway and air transportation hub in North America. Calgary is really a city of contrasts, where modern skyscrapers combine perfectly with classic two- and three-storey houses.
The city that survived the oil boom grew rapidly and now its economy is almost completely dependent on the oil industry and is considered the fastest growing in the country. Calgary acquired world recognition in 1988 after the Winter Olympics. In addition, in 2002 this city received the status of the cleanest city on the planet.
Calgary is a beautiful modern city with green parks and huge skyscrapers. The remarkable climate, beautiful landscapes and developed infrastructure have made this city one of the most popular in North America.
Calgary and its surroundings are very rich in attractions. There is a huge number of theaters and cinemas, various monuments, historical buildings, exhibition halls and about half a thousand churches.
The most developed industries in Calgary, where translation services from English to Russian may be required, are:
• petroleum refining (translation of instructions and manuals for operation of geological and reconnaissance and oil refining equipment);
• chemical (translation of patents, background documents of product safety, toxicology reports, exception reports and related documentation, which determines the chemical composition and characteristics of substances);
• food industry — meat processing (restaurant menus, studies on the process of food production);
• IT-technologies (translations of service and application of hardware systems manuals, guides for software users, technical equipment descriptions etc.);
• mechanical engineering (guides and instructions for installation and operation of equipment);
• transportation — railway, motorway and air transport unit (transport insurance, international transportation — Custom Cargo Declarations, waybills, packing lists);
• trade and travel (translation of web-sites, menu, brochures, accompanying documents to goods — invoices, orders etc.);
• financial (bank documentation and nonbank documentation relating to insurance, stock exchange, investments, securities etc.).
We also have specialists who will help you not only translate the documentation from English to Russian, but also learn Russian via Skype. In this case, the methodology has different features, but our tutors are familiar with them and have great pedagogical experience. As practice shows, Russian language training for foreigners on Skype gives excellent results.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is very different than pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic organ prolapse happens when the muscles holding a woman’s pelvic organs (uterus, rectum and bladder) in place loosen and become too stretched out. Pelvic organ prolapse can cause the organs to protrude (stick out) of the vagina or rectum and may require women to push them back inside.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can be diagnosed by history and physical exam, though it is more accurately graded by imaging. Historically, fluoroscopy with defecography and cystography were used, though modern imaging allows the usage of MRI to complement and sometimes replace fluoroscopic assessment of the disorder, allowing for less radiation exposure and increased patient comfort, though an enema is required the evening before the procedure. Instead of contrast, ultrasound gel is used during the procedure with MRI. Both methods assess the pelvic floor at rest and maximum strain using coronal and sagittal views. When grading individual organ prolapse, the rectum, bladder and uterus are individually assessed, with prolapse of the rectum referred to as a rectocele, bladder prolapse through the anterior vaginal wall a cystocele, and small bowel an enterocele.
Biofeedback is a modality that allows you to learn how to better control your muscles for optimal function. Biofeedback shows you what your muscles are doing in-real time. It is helpful to teach patients to lengthen and relax the pelvic floor for issues like general pelvic pain, painful sexual activity and constipation or to contract the pelvic floor in order to prevent leakage with activities like coughing, laughing, lifting, running or moving heavy objects. However, biofeedback does not demonstrate shortened muscles and tissues; therefore, in certain cases the biofeedback may seem to be within normal limits but yet the patient has 10/10 pain. In these incidences, manual palpation is more appropriate to identify restricted and shortened tissues and muscles, and myofascial trigger points.
During the internal exam, your physical therapist will place a gloved finger into your vagina or rectum to assess the tone, strength, and irritability of your pelvic floor muscles and tissues. Internal exams and internal treatment are invaluable tools that are taught to pelvic floor physical therapists. It can tell us if there are trigger points (painful spots, with a referral pattern or local); muscle/tissue shortening; nerve irritation and/or bony malalignment that could be causing your pain directly or inhibiting the full function of your pelvic floor muscles. We can also determine if your pelvic floor has good coordination during the exam. A pelvic floor without good coordination, may not open and close appropriately for activities such as going to the bathroom, supporting our pelvis and trunk, sexual activity, and keeping us continent.
Physical therapists (PTs) are experts in movement and function, which sounds like a pretty broad topic to be an expert in, and it is. After physical therapists graduate PT school (now-a-days at the doctoral level), they find their niche and specialize. You can find PTs working with high-level athletes, children, infants, people who are recovering from injuries, people with neurological conditions and many other types of clients.

Working with Community Leisure UK, CIMPSA and ukactive, the Welsh Sports Association has written to the Minister for the Economy, Ken Skates AM, to request urgent support for sports organsiations that are suffering due to the impact of measures to control the Coronavirus pandemic.
As sector representatives, we collectively welcome the efforts made so far to protect business, such as rate reliefs and grants for the leisure sector, but we are very concerned that these measures will not be implemented quickly enough to ensure the short and long-term survival of organisations that are pivotal to providing opportunities for the nation to stay active and well. The letter goes on to outline how the sector can support our communities and economy getting through and beyond this crisis.
WSA CEO Victoria Ward said:
“We have requested urgent engagement with Welsh Government on the necessary interventions to ensure the sports and physical activity sector has the tools it needs to survive in this rapidly changing climate. The impact of facilities closures, event cancellations and social isolation has the potential to have a devasting impact on the long term future of sport in Wales.
“Our ask is a recovery package for the sporting economy, and we believe that working alongside Sport Wales and relevant government departments would be a beneficial and effective way to ensure that the urgent relief is given where it is needed most, and where it can make the biggest impact in ensuring the resilience of the sector over the longer term.”

Hello fellow readers,
Our world is greening up, and the snowdrops are finally peaking almost a month behind last year. As predicted, the ticks have made a robust comeback after a long winter protected by the snow. Nasty pests I think our creator could have done without, though I suppose they provide food to other critters.
I just returned from a stay with Mom while my sister traveled on vacation. Dear Mom, my garden inspirer, mentor, and life coach is now convalescing in a nursing home about an hour from Richmond. It is hard to see the dramatic changes from the last visit; her dementia is rapidly progressing. At times her conversations are clear, especially as she reminisces about the years gone by.
Virginia’s spring was in fast forward the ten days I was there; pent up energy from the harsh winter they too experienced. I am grateful for the crabapple trees that busted out in bloom right before our eyes and the daffodils that faced the shifting sun providing happy talking points as Mom remembered the first signs of spring on the farm growing up. Sebastian, the resident cat, a stray gone domestic, parades in and out like he owns the place, giving joy to the cat lovers, which would be Mom, and indifference to those not so feline friendly. Mom wonders when they’ll plant the vacant pots by the front door, a question she endearingly asked over and over again. I reminded her of the lesson she taught me; that it is essential to be patient and wait to plant annuals until after the risk of frost, which is about Mother’s Day here.
While where Mom is staying may be dated and lacking sufficient common areas, the nursing home has caring, loving staff, and residents that touched my heart. Sadly, other caregivers are not kind, which is beyond troubling. As Mom’s 85-year-old sharp as a tack roommate pointed out, there are always a few bad apples anywhere you go. I added in every bad apple; there are seeds of promise in the core. There is hope; there is love and new beginnings just as there is spring. And yes, there are endings, but they will lead us to another glorious place. Happy Easter! Garden dilemmas? firstname.lastname@example.org
There’s more to this story in Episode 14 of the Garden Dilemmas Podcast:


Freedom Under Law notes the ruling by Judge Zondi, sitting as the Judicial Conduct Committee and dated 29 July 2022, in respect of a complaint made by Vuyani Ngalwana SC against Judge Johann Kriegler (FUL\’s chairperson) on 20 April 2021.
Mr Ngalwana alleged breach of at least nine different articles of the Code of Judicial Conduct in relation to numerous alleged statements made by Judge Kriegler, as quoted in media publications from September 2009 to April 2021. All Mr Ngalwana\’s complaints bar one were dismissed on the basis that “they are lacking in substance”. The only complaint upheld was in relation to one statement reported to have been made by Judge Kriegler on 1 March 2021 to the effect that Hlophe JP was unfit to be a judge. Judge Zondi found that contravened one provision of the Code (article 11(1)(f)).
Judge Kriegler and FUL believe that this finding is materially incorrect and adversely implicates important issues of principle and FUL\’s work. It will be appealed insofar as it upheld one of the complaints. FUL endorses the public utterances made by Judge Kriegler in relation to Judge Hlophe.
No further statements in relation to the ruling will be made at this stage.

Day-reporting center offers hope for addicts
Washington County Sheriff Douglas Mullendore is quite properly speeding ahead with plans for an innovative day-reporting center he hopes will keep addicts out of jail and in the treatment programs that will give them some chance of survival.
The tragedy is that, inevitably, for some it will still be too late.
Every time someone feels faint from the Zika virus, it makes national news, but addictions are mowing down people of all ages like a scythe, and there is still precious little urgency to mobilize our resources against it.
It might also be true that just as we think we’re starting to get our arms around the heroin epidemic, something new and even worse might come along — which always seems to be the case with drugs.
When Prince died of an accidental fentanyl overdose, it more likely portended something darker than a tragic mistake.
Fentanyl is indeed starting to pop up here and there, and it is certainly no accident. Over the space of four hours last month in Huntington, W.Va., 28 people overdosed, and first responders immediately noticed that the normal lifesaving dose of the antidote naloxone was not working — it was taking two or three times what they would normally administer to see results.
Authorities say that’s an indication that the heroin has been laced with fentanyl, which is up to 50 times more potent than heroin and can run roughshod over a community before the users know what hit them.
Writing for Esquire magazine, author Don Winslow reports that Mexican drug cartels are mixing fentanyl into the heroin to transition heroin users into fentanyl users — the reason being that fentanyl is five times more profitable, and can be synthesized in a lab instead of having to be produced by vast poppy fields requiring considerable manual labor.
Also instructive in Winslow’s piece, titled “El Chapo and the Secret History of the Heroin Crisis,” is the number of times we have tried to fight a battle in the war on drugs, only to see it have the effect of throwing water on a grease fire.
The government crackdown on illicit painkillers and the doctors who were prescribing them made all the sense in the world — until you consider that this was largely what drove people into the more potent and more deadly grip of heroin.
Nor has going in the other direction been particularly effective. Legalization of marijuana has — as many of its advocates suggested — deflated the market and the profitability of its production. Faced with declining profits, the cartels did what any good business would do; they turned to the manufacture of products, in this case opioids, that would re-establish their return on investment.
And we are hardly any better here at home, where we repeatedly soak the addict on the excuse that the high financial cost of violating the law will make him “think twice” before he uses again. Treatment facilities, which are frequently just glorified Narcotics Anonymous programs, charge obscene amounts for their services, and have no financial interest in seeing patients get well because they profit from return business. So dismal is the success rate at many of these centers that were they involved in any other enterprise, the attorneys general would have them under investigation.
The same can be said about measures such as ignition interlocks, which are championed by well-intentioned people in the fight on drunken driving, but have been turned over to for-profit corporations that charge the addict considerable installation, monitoring and de-installation fees. Drugs such as Vivitrol that might help addicts survive can cost $1,500 per injection; insurance companies, meanwhile, often contend that they are not “medically necessary.”
From supplying to treating addicts, everyone’s lining up to make a buck off those whose miseries cannot be described. And yet everyone wonders how the addiction epidemic got this bad.
As we contemplate the depressing truth that so many of our once-proud factories in the Tri-State area are being repurposed into facilities either for the treatment of drug-abuse or the production of marijuana, we might also consider why we are so hard up for treatment funding that there might be a need to charge a struggling human being $5 a session at the aforementioned day-reporting center for care that might well save her life. That’s spare change to you and me, but not to him or her.
The Mexican cartels are giving drugs all the tailwind they need and more. And until we here at home stop contributing to these tailwinds with our insistence of, in ways large or small, treating the addict as a person who needs to be emotionally and financially punished, the fault of our failure must in part rest with us.

Color Woodcut, 1953, L. 49, editions of 20 each in black, green, and blue and black, plus 25 in gray, totaling 85, plus in 1960 an edition of 500 in blue was printed for members of the Art in American Society, as here. The print measures 3-11/16 x 10-7/8, on cream wove japan paper, signed and dated in pencil. There are traces of tape residue at the top margin corners, well away from image, with a minor thin spot top right edge, some toning within the previous mat opening and marginal wrinkling from the printing as is typical. A beautiful impression of this color woodcut Nude, printed in a fresh and vibrant blue ink by Avery, with heavy embossing, the form of the nude standing out in relief.


Being stranded roadside is never an appealing prospect and a new survey proves it, showing car reliability ranks highest among drivers. The research was carried out for What Car’s Motoring Panel of 4000 buyers. It asked them which of 29 elements was the most important to them when it comes to buying a new or used car. Two thirds said reliability was the most crucial factor. The excellence of the car’s finish and the brand’s reputation for quality were the next most important.
The nationality of the brand, the prestige associated with owning that car and surprisingly its CO2 emissions were among the least appealing attributes when it came to car ownership. The availability of flexible finance was cited as the least important element. Only 11 per cent of buyers claimed this had any influence over their buying decision.
Editor of What Car? magazine and website Jim Holder said: “Car makers are heavily influenced by buyer perceptions but it’s constantly evolving; priorities shift over time. It is clear that despite leaps in terms of quality, the likelihood of a car letting you down is still at the heart of a car buyer’s criteria for a new vehicle.”
An enjoyable driving experience ranked almost as highly as the manufacturer’s reputation for quality. Price was also very important. However, another surprise was that the ability to connect mobile devices to the car’s system had a relatively low ranking among the car users polled.
Reliability surveys prove how a dependable car can save drivers large sums of money every year. The most reliable vehicles can cost less than £100 a year in repairs. Others can land owners with average annual bills of £1000 or more. According to Warranty Direct, which sells aftermarket warranties for when manufacturers’ guarantees have expired, some vehicles such as the Audi Q7 and BMW 5-Series have had claims of more than £15,000.
Warranty Direct also publishes an annual Reliability Index. This reveals how frequently different models break down and how much they cost to repair. According to its database of live policies, only one in 10 of the most dependable vehicles break down annually. The least reliable models fail several times a year. And while some cars break down multiple times but only cost £50 to repair, others can conk out once and cost £1000 to be fixed.
Its policies show that the most reliable car in the UK is the Honda Jazz, followed by the Mitsubishi Lancer, Vauxhall Agila, Toyota Yaris and Suzuki Alto. The least reliable are all high performance cars: the Audi RS6 comes bottom. Next up are the BMW M5, Nissan GT-R, Porsche 911 and Bentley Continental GT.

Canadian and foreign truck drivers will indeed be required to be fully vaccinated coming back into Canada beginning Saturday if they wish to avoid quarantine and PCR test measures.
Three federal ministers reiterated this mandate, initially announced back in November, on Thursday afternoon after a Canadian Border Services Agency spokesperson told the Canadian Press a day earlier that such a mandate would not be going into effect this week.
“The information shared yesterday (Jan. 11) was provided in error. Our teams have been in touch with industry representatives to ensure they have the correct information,” Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra and Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said in a joint statement.
While unvaccinated Canadian truckers won’t be denied entry into Canada, they will face quarantine measures and show evidence of a negative PCR test by day eight of quarantine.
Foreign truck drivers who don’t show evidence of vaccination will be denied entry outright.
“Washington and Ottawa must work together and make a bilateral decision to stop enforcement of the Canada-U.S. border vaccination requirement,” the Canadian Truckers Alliance (CTA) industry group said in a statement.
The CTA said federal authorities in both countries need to work with the industry group and stakeholders within supply chains to pick a “more suitable enforcement date that is less disruptive to the supply chain.”
The CTA said about 10% of the 120,000 Canadian truckers who cross the border remain unvaccinated.
With about 12,000 truck drivers left in limbo, further port backlogs and stalled deliveries could exacerbate ongoing supply chain disruptions and hike consumer prices.
American authorities will implement similar measures on Canadian drivers entering the U.S. beginning on Jan. 22.


Low Impact Hip Hop Dance
Do your joints ever hurt in the middle of your workout? Maybe you were injured and your knees aren’t as strong as they can be yet, but you still want to be able to workout? For me, hip hop dance moves
are the best because it’s a workout disguised in FUN
I love hip hop dance workouts, but sometimes I do need a low impact workout
without sacrificing the fun. Hip hop moves can be hard on the joints because of the jerky movements. I know I’m not the only one that have cranky joints, right? When I start feeling a little nudge from my knees or my arms, I make sure to slow it down and try a lower modification of my favorite moves. This way, I still get a fun workout without irritating my joints. Of course, I also make sure I stretch and maybe use a foam roller to massage my muscles after dancing. Not only do I get to keep my fitness routine going, low impact moves can also help slowly build muscles
without stressing your joints ??
Check out our other hip hop workouts with Ashley and post your moves on instagram with #hsfteam

The regular version can be really hard on the knees so in order to still get your heart rate up, do it one foot at a time. Skipping instead of jumping makes a big difference. You can check out this move in our Hip Hop Dance Tutorial
Low impact – dancer on the right
Elbow To Knee
Knee raises are so good for your legs and your core. Pass up the jump and focus on crunching your mid section. Squeeze during the leg raises, squeeze after and feel that core burn. This move is part of our Wild Thoughts
choreography so get wild, wild, wild!

Hip Rolls + Step Touch

Coronation Street swept the boards at the Soap awards this weekend, with Michelle Keegan being one of the night’s special successes. The stunning actress, who plays barmaid Tina Mcintyre in Corrie, won Sexiest Female for the fifth year running. No wonder her boyfriend Mark Wright accompanied her to the awards ceremony in Salford’s Media City. The gold dress she wore for the event showed off her fabulous figure in all it’s glory.WOW!
And it was not just Michelle who dressed up for the occasion. I’ve rounded up some of the outfit highlights below as well as all the gossip about who won what. Surprisingly Eastenders only won one award and that was a lifetime achievement for Adam Woodyatt (who plays Ian Beale). Bet the cast were in bad moods when they headed back down to London – or Walford – the following day!
But let’s look on the bright side as Rachel Bright who plays Poppy Meadows in Eastenders had one of the cutest, summeriest outfits of the night. How pretty is her yellow dress?
And talking of bright, one of Coronation Street’s winners Natalie Gumede shone in a red mini dress. Natalie won an award for Best Dramatic Performance as she played a violent and man-beating character in the soap. You wouldn’t think it given how lovely she looked in her party dress!
Nikki Sanderson,who has just joined the cast of Hollyoaks, dressed to get attention in a gold maxi dress. If there was an award for show-stopping dress then she’d be nominated – better luck next year, eh?
Claire Cooper, Nikki’s Hollyoaks co-star, did have better luck on the night. She won an award for Best Actress for her portrayal as Jacqui McQueen and it came at the perfect time as she’s leaving the soap. Talk about ending on a high- classy and elegant in a black dress.
And finally, the bravest outfit of the night was from Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent. It’s difficult to pull off a trouser suit, especially at an awards ceremony, but Brooke owns it with tons of attitude, killer heels and a dash of red lipstick. A winning combination…in terms of fashion if not awards.
The award winners are:
Sexiest Male – Danny Mac, Dodger Savage, Hollyoaks
Sexiest Female – Michelle Keegan, Tina McIntyre, Coronation Street
Villain of the Year – Natalie Gumede, Kirsty Soames, Coronation Street
Best Actor – Alan Halsall, Tyrone Dobbs, Coronation Street
Best Actress – Claire Cooper, Jacqui McQueen, Hollyoaks
Best British Soap – Coronation Street
Best Comedy Performance – Patti Clare, Mary Taylor, Coronation Street
Best Dramatic Performance – Natalie Gumede, Kirsty Soames, Coronation Street
Best Young Performance – Eden Taylor-Draper, Belle Dingle, Emmerdale
Best Exit – Nigel Havers, Lewis Archer, Coronation Street
Best Newcomer – Joseph Thompson, Dr Paul Browning, Hollyoaks
Best On-Screen Partnership – Kieron Richardson and Emmett J Scanlan, Ste Hay and Brendan Brady, Hollyoaks
Best Storyline – Kirsty’s Abuse of Tyrone, Coronation Street
Spectacular Scene of the Year – The Bus Crash, Hollyoaks
Best Single Episode – Emmerdale 40th anniversary live episode
Lifetime Achievement Award – Adam Woodyatt, Ian Beale, EastEnders

A part of the Diaper family tree.
Want to know more?
You can email Cheryl Butler at email@example.com
to inquire about this work.
As well as my academic research I have also been involved in one of the country's largest single name genealogical projects; The Diaper Family currently have over 10,000 entries in the family tree. The family can trace its direct descent back to the early 1500s and back another hundred years before that in surviving Southampton records. The current research suggests the family arrived in Southampton either as one of the families planted in the town by William the Conqueror or during the time of the civil war known as The Nineteen Long Winters in the early twelfth century. The supporting social and historical background about the family and their home for a thousand years, Itchen Ferry Village can be found on the Diaper Heritage website that I compiled in 2006 and continue to edit.

Kister, Aglaia: Fragile Balance
Schwindelerfahrungen und Gleichgewichtsideale im Werk Thomas Manns
"I am a man of equilibrium" is one of Thomas Mann's famous self-characterizations. In his work, balancing figures as a basic movement of human life, which, however, always remains endangered by counterforces – dizziness, melancholy, radicalism. Aglaia Kister undertakes a metaphorological analysis of the imagery Thomas Mann's balancing ideals are informed by, entailing implications that are decisive for his thinking. As her reading of selected novels and essays shows, Mann's passionately courted concepts of balance emerge precisely from the loss of balance specific to modernity: Dizziness in particular is a leading symptom of gender theory, existential philosophy and poetology. For Thomas Mann, balance figures as a state as serendipitous as it is fragile that must be constantly wrested anew from the crises of political, mental, or physical loss of balance.

A new era for US central banking began on 20-21 March as Federal Reserve chairman Jay Powell presided over his first policymaking meeting.
The meeting of the Federal Open Markets Committee unfolded largely as expected. The FOMC raised the range for the target federal funds rate by 25bp to a range of 1.50%-1.75% and signalled it expected inflation to rise in the coming months due to base effects and recent strong data.
The Summary of Economic Projections also conformed to market expectations, with median participants projecting stronger growth, a lower unemployment rate and slightly firmer inflation, which in turn require a steeper path for policy rate increases over the projection horizon.
Powell FOMC: in line with expectations and then a faster pace
Before the first meeting by the Powell FOMC, there had been considerable market debate about whether the median policy rate projection for 2018 would reflect 100bp or ‘just’ 75bp of anticipated tightening. In the end, and in line with our expectations, the median 2018 projection was unchanged at 2.1 %, reflecting 75bp of total tightening – see Exhibit 1 below.
We continue to expect this median to move higher in June, and thus remain comfortable with our call for 100 basis points of tightening this year.
Exhibit 1: The dots are going up!
FOMC participants’ assessments of appropriate monetary policy (midpoint of target range or target level for the fed funds rate) at March 2018 meeting, December 2017 FOMC meeting and marketing pricing of fed funds futures contract as of 21/03/18
In our view, too much attention has been paid to the issue of three versus four rate rises in 2018 as reflected by the median projection. More importantly, the FOMC is signalling that it is increasingly confident that it will have to take the policy rate into restrictive territory, and sooner than previously thought.
The median policy projection for end-2019 now sits at the FOMC’s estimate of the longer-run neutral rate (also see here). But most participants do not expect the neutral rate to have risen to its longer-run value by then.
Hence the 125bp of additional tightening projected between now and end-2019 suggest that the policy stance will turn restrictive next year (especially given additional tightening through the balance sheet run-off). The stance becomes even more restrictive in 2020 – the Fed’s median-projected fed funds rate for the end of 2020 is 3.4%, 50bp above the median estimate of its longer-run neutral value.
Indeed, the tighter policy stance that will be required to prevent overheating in the years ahead suggests rising recession odds over the next several years. Powell seems aware of this risk, and in his press conference stressed that the FOMC is trying to walk a middle ground between raising rates too quickly (which could prevent the FOMC from achieving its inflation objective on a sustainable basis), and raising rates too slowly (which would risk a sizeable inflation overshoot and much more restrictive policy down the road).
We suspect that this middle ground will lead to inflation running a bit above the 2% objective in the years ahead, and that eventually, the FOMC will need to raise rates more quickly to bring inflation back to target. Indeed, the median participant now projects inflation to run a tenth above the 2% objective in both 2019 and 2020. One could argue that the suite of changes to the economic projections already requires a steeper policy rate path than that implied by the median participant.
Powell: more succinct, but also more superficial
There were few significant insights in Powell’s first press briefing. He proved less willing to go into details than his predecessor, keeping his responses brief and fairly superficial, and also shared much less of his own views compared to his Congressional testimony. Not surprisingly, he dodged questions on trade and fiscal policy, but expressed hope that corporate tax reform will promote higher trend growth while also stressing uncertainty over the size and timing of any such effects.
On the margins, these considerations do seem to be impacting the economic projections. The median estimate of the longer-run policy rate ticked up by a tenth, and while the trend growth projection remained at 1.8 percent, the top of the central tendency range moved a bit higher. Possible revisions to r* and trend growth will become an increasingly important narrative as the year unfolds, and further upward revisions to r* would imply that the Committee needs to raise rates a bit more quickly over the next few years.

We have already written how to choose a sliding frameless glazing system, if you have not read it, go here. Today we will pay attention to those situations when it is not entirely clear which Vizyon frameless sliding system is still better for a specific situation. So here we will give technical material that will help you choose exactly what you need. We write a lot about this, and now we show it schematically.
Let us recall that sliding frameless systems are divided into the following types:
In this article, we will not speak on Vizyon automatic sliding systems, namely the VGS system - a guillotine-type system for glass or multiple glazing unit and VPS pergola system.
Depending on system place of installation, whether it is a balcony, terrace, barbecue area, office, the main requirements are set for this system. For example, if the system is installed on a balcony, then the main requirement for the system is tightness. If the system is installed on the terrace, then one of the main requirements is to save space when folded. Also, one of the common requirements for a terrace is the convenience of daily use. If the sliding frameless system is used as an office partition, then the main requirements are imposed on the aesthetic appearance of the frameless system, leaves maximum height and width separately and in a construction as a whole, as well as the functionality of the frameless system.
We have shown each frameless sliding system in a vertical section, this information is important in cases where preparation is underway at the design stage or already at the construction stage, we should understand whether it is necessary to cut into the ceiling or sink in the floor. Does the frameless system have a lower guide or not. For the Vizyon KCS top-hung sliding frameless systems with parking, there are options for leaves parking. By the way, pay attention to the diagrams showing the options for installing a sliding door for the Vizyon KCS system. Vizyon balcony and terrace sliding frameless systems (VBS, VBS-X, VBS-L, VDS, VNS, VNS-X, VNS-L, VNS-D) are presented in our very large assortment. How do they differ? ertical sections of each of these systems show their differences and also allow you to make the right choice. We hope that this material will be useful to you. However, if there are questions without answers, please call and write to us, we are ready to provide you with accurate and necessary information.
