A recent work trip brought me to a very beautiful region on this planet. This and the prospect of a few other nice trips this year led me to the decision to buy a new camera, since my Panasonic DMC-LX3 has started to show its age in terms of picture quality, compared to modern mirror-less interchangeable cameras and—believe it or not—my iPhone 4S.
I opted for a Fujifilm X-E1 with the Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS lens and I got a good deal for it, seeing that the X-E2 had just hit the market.
Being still new to the camera—and admittedly not quite awake—I made a mistake when setting the date once I was in the destination timezone, resulting in the date stamps in the EXIF data being off by -2 years and -6 hours in every picture. Of course I only noticed that once I sat in my home office again, while importing gigabytes of pictures into Aperture.
This is where it started to go downhill, because while Aperture seems to do a fine job of processing the RAW file format Fujifilm uses, it doesn’t have the ability to change the EXIF data of the files.
After a lot of searching, the only viable solution turned out to be a command line application called exiftool by Phil Harvey.
It allows for date and time shifting using an easy syntax — “easy” once you’ve stopped feeling intimidated by the prospect of using a command line application for a task like this.
The following workaround has been done on a Mac, but since exiftool works on Windows, Linux and OS X this can be applied to other setups as well. On Windows there’s actually a nice GUI application called Geosetter that uses exiftool in the background, making the entire process even less intimidating.
I initially thought I had to export everything from Aperture into a folder and then let loose exiftool on the exported files like a hungry hyena, but it was much easier than that. Seeing that each Aperture library file is a glorified folder, you can right click it in the Finder and select ‘Show Package Contents’ from the context menu. A folder will open, showing the contents of the library.
Inside that folder the master files are kept in the folder ‘masters’ (Duh!), sorted into subfolders for years, months and (approximate) days and times.
Now to the actual use of exiftool for my problem:
I wanted to change all date tags inside each photo (EXIF data contains more than one date tag and I wasn’t sure which one Aperture would use or if it would get confused if it found two different dates in one file). As I had set the X-E1 to capture both a RAF file and a JPG at the same time, I needed it to change the JPG date and time stamps as well.
After closing Aperture the first problem I faced when running exiftool on a few files was that it returned minor errors and warnings like this;
Warning: Non-null bytes found in padding …
and subsequently didn’t process files that returned errors. I thought that there had to be some way to still process these files and a quick search for the warning turned up a forum thread and the maker of exiftool provided an answer:
“As far as I can tell, the non-null bytes in the normally-empty section of the RAF image aren’t referenced from anywhere, so I’m thinking that they are just garbage data. I’ll update the next version of ExifTool to make this a minor error, allowing the file to be written with the -m option.”
The ‘-m’ option you say? A quick look into the documentation revealed this explanation:
-m (-ignoreMinorErrors) Ignore minor errors and warnings
With that in mind, here’s what I did:
I opened a Terminal window and entere the command
exiftool -AllDates+=‘2:0:0 6:0:0’ -m /Volumes/folder-path-to-my-photos
Here’s what the command does:
- exiftool launches the application.
- -AllDates changes all dates tag within a picture.
- += tells the app that the adjustment will advance the dates into the future (‘-=’ would put them into the past).
- ‘2:0:0 6:0:0’ changes the date by ‘2years:0months:0days 6hours:0minutes:0seconds’.
- /Volumes/folder-path-to-my-photos represents the location of my photos or a single file in the Aperture library package/folder.
The cool thing about the way the Terminal works in OS X, is that you don’t even have to type in the folder path manually — a source of many frustrating errors. Instead you can drag the icon next to the title of the folder from the Finder window into the Terminal window and place it behind the command (don’t forget the space between ‘-m’ and the folder path).
What resulted in the folder were .RAF and .JPG files with changed EXIF data and .RAF_original/.JPG_original files, the latter being the original files exiftool kept as a backup. I removed these files from the folder and put them in a backup location on my hard drive until I was sure that the new files not only had the right date, but were also intact.
I started Aperture again, and after a few seconds it realised that the dates had changed and started to rearrange the files. Having changed quite a lot of files, it took a couple of minutes to re-process the photos, but afterwards everything looked great and all photos had the correct date and time associated with them.
In summary this shouldn’t have been necessary. Aperture—being the advanced application that it supposedly is—should be able to change date and times stamps as well as every other piece of EXIT and IPTC data I want it to change, because mistakes happen. Thankfully exiftool and similar applications exist, allowing users to make these changes and I’ll be sending Phil Harvey some money because his work saved me a lot of headaches.
Here’s a condensed version of the workflow I used to change the date and time stamps in the EXIF data of my photos:
- Close Aperture.
- Open the Aperture library package/folder by right-clicking it in the finder and selecting ‘Show Package Contents’.
- Navigate to the ‘masters’ folder and the subfolder holding the pictures that need EXIF data adjustments.
- Open a Terminal window and type the following command
exiftool -AllDates+=‘2:0:0 6:0:0’ -m. Add a space behind the ‘-m’.
- Drag the folder icon left of the title of the folder in the Finder window and drop it behind the command.
- Hit return on the keyboard and wait for exiftool to finish processing the files.
- Move the .JPG_original/.RAF_original/.XYZ_original files to a backup location outside the Aperture library package/folder until the successful adjustment has been confirmed.
- Launch Aperture, select the project in question and give Aperture some time to re-process the photos.
- If the desired changes have been applied correctly and Aperture doesn’t show any errors or wrong EXIF information, delete the backup files.

Ponce House is located in a plot of approximately 7.41 acres and it is part of a group of buildings that make up â€œQuinta MamÃ¡ Ali,â€ which will include four houses, pool area with “palapa”, a small chapel,Â a playground and a ballroom.It is located on the outskirts of the city of Villahermosa in the state of Tabasco, in the southeast of Mexico.Â Without a doubt, a premise for this project was to take into consideration, as much as possible, the natural environment where the house is located.
The project is developed through the design of two perpendicular bodies that house the entire program.Â The main volume is structured by a passageway that extends 3.75 meters throughout the house, setting the area of â€‹â€‹the bedrooms in the northeast.Â This same body in opposite direction defines the service area comprised of kitchen, laundry area, court and maidâ€™s room.
The lower body houses the remaining spaces. The living-dining area, located in the northeast, is defined by a rectangular space extending from the main body.
To the northwest lies parking space for three cars and all the spaces that provide services to the house are packed in the extension of this body.
The main facade is almost blind, its southwest location forced the decision to avoid openings, as in the Mexican southeast the incidence of the sun on the spaces that face this direction may make them uninhabitable.
However, the opposite facade is fully glazed with openings of 3.75 meters by 2.20 meters that make up the facade of the bedrooms and the living-dining area.Â The two meters of extension that the slab in front of this facade has, configure a porch area that opens the space outward, towards the area where the pool will be located, making this entire perimeter an outdoor living area where you can enjoy views of open countryside that the location of the house provides.

British birds, animals and insects are moving northwards in response to climate change, new research reveals.
Birds, butterflies, other insects and spiders have colonised nature reserves and areas protected for wildlife, as they move north in response to climate change and other environmental change.
The study of more than 250 species was led by researchers in the Department of Biology at York, and its conclusions were based on the analysis of millions of records of wildlife species sent in predominantly by members of the public.
Many species need to spread towards the poles where conditions remain cool enough for them to survive climate warming.
However doing this is complicated because many landscapes across the world are dominated by human agriculture and development, which form barriers to the movement of species.
The mainstay of traditional conservation has been to establish protected areas and nature reserves to provide refuges against the loss of habitats and other threats in the surrounding countryside.

So you want to connect with sigs. If you’re a parent, a grandparent, a teacher or perhaps an adult book lover. Can be stopping you? How come we all can’t all meet our soul https://elite-brides.com/puerto-rican-brides partners’ on the web like the popular seeing websites enable us to? The answer is: assembly site turn up useful info like it utilized to.
I am aware what that you simply thinking–it’s not that we don’t have a true love lifestyle. I do! Really just that I’d rather meet up with is in person. The online seeing scene is filled with drama and it seems like pigs are the just ones exactly who really get together over there.
Yet I’d argue that’s the difficulty. Online dating sites are incredibly much just like high institutions and that’s where trouble begins. Young people check out online dating mainly because they can’t say for sure anyone who lives near these people. They come throughout as interesting and interesting. They think everyone at that time is about online sites.
In other words, their persona is so interesting, they fit correct in. But as they become older, they know their want meeting an individual “real” moved away. In order for is usually to meet people is to join a local group. And that’s where drama will come in. Group design issues. If you’re self conscious and don’t talk too much, you can definitely find yourself only in the group.
Consequently here’s the condition with meet is: they are really just presently there to have entertaining. They’re certainly not there to generate relationships. They may appear to “pick up chicks”, nevertheless that’s about it. They’re now there to have a great time.
There are many main reasons why sigs leave groups. One particular, they get bored. Two, that they can’t mesh with other members. Three, they come to feel insecure. Several, they’re just bored.
Whilst meeting sigs are not nasty per se, they’re often seen as such by simply other participants of the community. They are “that one” person you push into over the internet once in a while. Even though it’s authentic, they do have a tendency to cling to people who share their hobbies, they need a bit more support than if they will met someone through an online dating service. Online can be need that little bit of support, because the anonymity online invisiblity makes them susceptible to potential predators.
It’s simple to blame meet up with high. Yet take a look at all the people shed to internet dating. There was a time when everyone used online dating. It’s not the fault of meet can be. It’s the fault of the bad dating culture.
Online dating is the same as the old days. If you go to a bar, you meet persons. If you go to a boogie club, you meet persons. But if you go to an Internet message board, you satisfy people. This is why appointment sigs are extremely dangerous.
As stated just before, the invisiblity of the Net masks each of our faults. We all can’t be now there for our dates and we can’t view the people we’re talking to. Can make us weak. But satisfy sigs can’t see or notice us either. They how to start who you’re and that causes them to be spots.
Several charging not the fault of the online world that these groupings are developing. The online world is a rapidly evolving part of the web. If the online universe is going to survive then it needs to grow up and focus on real people.
One of the best ways to accomplish this is to have got regular get togethers online. In this manner people are able to see each other and get to know the other. This doesn’t necessarily mean they need to meet personally all the time, nonetheless they should have interaction and talk online. This will make them more comfortable in putting themselves in existence and appointment new people and it will support their self-esteem.
Another reason why conference site will be dangerous is that there are so many of which. There are hundreds of meet is out there currently. If you go to one of the much larger groups likely be outnumbered ten to a single. This creates a sense of threat wherever anyone who genuinely immediately devoted can be sitting in the minority and potentially worried. This is why they want to join solution groups exactly where they can be guaranteed of safety.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- Huntington Beach resident Lisa Burford found trash, debris and large items in the Huntington Harbor after Tropical Storm Hilary sent several inches of rain through the drainage system.
"It washed streets and it washed the gutters," Burford said, a boat owner. "We have storm drains all over and drainage channels, and I know that they do have filters on some of them, but basically it all washes right to the ocean."
After heavy rain storms like this winter and Hilary, the Anaheim drainage channel dumps into Huntington Harbor and brings all the trash from storm drains into the marina.
"I searched online and I tried to contact the Orange County department of beaches and the city of Huntington Beach, and I could not find any site where I could let them know about this debris and see what we can do to clean it up," said Burford.
The trash in the marina affects boaters, businesses like ferries and fisherman and creates an unsafe habitat for the natural wildlife. It might be weeks before boaters can safely leave the marina again.
"It does affect us being able to use our boats," said Steve Rigdon, a boat owner in the Huntington Harbor. "We also get damage from the boats sometimes, because as she said, large items like logs, they'll bang up against our boats."
Burford and other boaters are contacting the city for help in cleaning up the marina.
"Of course the marina, they're very proactive, but they have to request it through the county. That's where the delay is," said Rigdon. "I can tell you, I'm hoping this gets cleaned up soon. In the storms in February, it took months before we got it."
Boaters say the best way to keep the marina clean is to not let trash go into the storm drain in the first place.

LILONGWE (Malawi NewsNow) –Malawi government has said investors can now access the country’s Geophysical data following a successful Airborne Geophysical survey under the Mining Governance and Growth Support Project funded by the World Bank.
Minister of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining, Bright Msaka said Monday in the capital Lilongwe that the data has been gazetted to allow prospective investors in the sector to access document.
“The document is open to all interested investors who would like to know the type of minerals and the area where they are located among others,” he said.
He said mining has the potential to attract more investors thereby contribute to the economic development in the country.
Msaka added that there will be a follow-up of ground geophysics and drilling to obtain samples.
The data reveals that Malawi has high uranium, chromium, nickel, cobalt, copper and petroleum among others.

Just like fishers, divers, sushi-lovers and sailors the world over, the World Wide Fund for Nature knows the importance of our oceans, and wants to see them protected and managed responsibly for decades to come. This year, WWF Netherlands, along with many other national WWF offices, is renewing its focus on the Coral Triangle in Southeast Asia, along with the North Sea and the coral reefs of the Caribbean. Read on to learn more about the importance of the planet's oceans, the ways WWF is planning to save the last great hotspots of marine diversity, and how sustainable tourism can help out.

A Campaign for the Seas
While WWF Netherlands focuses on nine priority regions, five commodities such as timber, and thirteen species including the Asian elephant, this year the organization has decided to place special emphasis on oceans. Though the plight of pandas and polar bears is well-known, fewer people are aware of the grave situation of the world's seas. Less than 2% of the entire ocean is protected, and only a sliver of those protected areas are properly managed and policed. This leaves some of the world's most biodiverse, beautiful, and irreplaceable marine landscapes open to unchecked pollution and illegal fishing.
At the same time, industrial-scale fishing techniques are emptying the oceans at an alarming rate, robbing fishermen of their livelihoods and setting the oceans on a path to ecosystem collapse. Scientists estimate that between 10 and 30% of the oceans need to be set aside in order to ensure the future of fishing, which provides the primary source of protein for over one billion people.
Retooling Tourism to Benefit Coasts
Besides the fact that marine protected areas protect fish, providing food and jobs, they also attract tourists. Froukje Zumbrink, consultant for the Oceans & Coasts program at the WWF, adds, "in fact, some of the current marine protected areas would not have existed without the tourism industry." Tourism is one of the world's largest industries. A staggering 80 percent of all tourism occurs in coastal areas, which provides over 200 million jobs. With these massive numbers, there's no arguing that coastal tourism needs to be carefully managed to ensure minimal damage to mangroves, reefs and beaches.
Tourist destinations are often woefully unprepared for the large numbers of visitors they receive. Visitors overload ill-equipped sewage and garbage systems, water resources, and energy grids. According to Zumbrink, "Ecotourism and sustainable tourism are misleading terms. Instead of focusing on a specific type of tourism and seeing it as a niche, we would like to transform the whole industry." Destinations, whether explicitly 'eco' or not, should be invested in preserving their natural assets for 10, 50, even 100 years into the future.
WWF Netherlands is one of BookDiffernt's many charitable partners working to protect animals and environment. Zumbrink urges bookers to consider donating to WWF, arguing that "If you want future generations to enjoy beautiful forests, rivers, coral reefs, beaches, elephants, tigers, turtles, colorful fish and other nature and wildlife on their holidays, then donate to the World Wide Fund for Nature."

In this paper we formulate a goodput-oriented utility optimization problem for routing and power control in Rayleigh faded wireless networks with Automatic Retransmission reQuest (ARQ) protocols. This work proposes two heuristic approaches to estimate the goodput capacity in such wireless networks. The resulting approximated capacities are non-convex functions of power variables. As a result, the utility optimization problem is nonconvex, and for this we address the problem by solving a sequence of convex approximation problems. If the initial convex approximation is feasible, the sequence is shown to converge to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker(KKT) point of the original utility optimization problem. The convex approximation problems are solved recursively by means of primal-dual methods that are shown to be amenable to distributed implementation by adjoint network. The seamless interaction between the successive convex approximation and the primal-dual algorithm constitutes the proposed successive primal-dual convex approximation (SPDCA) algorithm.

Hello readers of Cardfight Lab Tech! This will be the first in a series of Dragoborne articles that are planned in the upcoming months. To start off, I will be briefly discussing what I think are the top 5 most impactful cards for each of the 5 color combinations! Our article will focus on yellow cards in the Rally to War, the first released set in the game. Listed below are my top five picks for the top 5 most impactful cards in yellow in Dragoborne in the set Rally to War:
5. Kaddar, Dragonmage Adept
This guy is a pretty exciting card when we get right down to it. He’s a 4/4 body for 4 mana that allows you to draw cards equal to every set of 2 of your yellow creatures. At his best, he will allow you to draw 2 cards when dropped on the field. The fact his effect doesn’t say “other yellow creatures” is a big bonus, since this allows him count himself in his own effect! On average, at 6 resources, you can drop 1 other creature and this guy to draw one card, then patiently try to trade with your guys, putting you up a card.
4. Axion, Herald of Armies
Axion is an odd card due to being overcosted for his stats (without being dragocrossed) but possessing a very strong effect to make up for it. Ideally, this card is dragocrossed most of the time, allowing this card to be a 5/5 creature for 5 mana once dragocrossed. In addition to this, Axion is able to stand when a dragoshield is destroyed and moved to another fort, forcing your opponent to think twice about attack patterns.
3. Sunscale Dragon
Sunscale is the ultimate shield buster, making it a worthy candidate for the top 5 yellow cards. This is possible with its effect, which allows it to restand once a turn after destroying a dragoshield. It can even be used a pseudo defender if all you want it to do is break shields then stay standing to block. Some of Sunscale’s biggest strengths are that he prevents the opponent from trading well or being a threatening blocker since he can single handedly break a shield then force the opponents big guy to block him and due to its defensive stats. To top all off, he draws you a card when he smashes shields! He has a very minor downside though in that he cannot break 6-value dragoshields by himself without some form of additional power and dragocross (e.g. Althaine’s Blessing).
2. Replenish the Ranks
I very well may regret not making this the number one yellow card as of right now. It’s that good. Playing it by paying its 3 mana cost will result in drawing two cards. In addition to this, it conditionally allows you to draw three cards instead if a yellow die that exactly equals 1 and/or allows the card to be played for free if there is a yellow die that exactly equals 6. I would like to emphasize that you need at least a 6-value yellow die roll to make this an optimal card to play. With this card’s reliance on yellow die value, this card excels in any deck that can modify dice values or exchange values. With the proper setup, it’s very common to see 2 of these played in one turn to draw 6 cards for free. This is a card which will only have its potential value rise as future sets release with increased support with dice manipulation and as a mainstay in yellow due to the draw support it provides.
1. Angelica, the Light of Logres
It should be no surprise to see Angelica here. Reason: she lets you play a lot of creatures who like being dragocrossed, and her effect dragocrosses every other creature on the field with the same die that Angelica herself is dragocrossed with. This allows you to enable multiple creatures’ dragocross abilities with the use of one die (e.g. two Remus on the board). Just having multiple cards that want to be crossed is enough due to the 1/1 stat gain. It’s just a bonus if they’re all the same color needed (e.g. Azraeus, Blade of the Justicar). She is going to enable a lot of cool deck builds as the game goes on just due to her first effect alone so her potential moving forward is most certainly there. She’s a solid card on her own because she was given stats that assume she’s always dragocrossed, which her effects incentivizes.
Thanks for reading this article on Dragoborne! If you have any questions or comments about the article, please leave them in the comments section.

The word bursa (similar to the English word “purse”) means sack, though in the healthy state, the sack is mostly empty: that is, the bursa is a double layer of a synovial membrane with a very small amount of synovial fluid between the layers. This anatomical arrangement promotes low friction gliding, and indeed the function of a bursa is to facilitate the gliding of a tendon or ligament around a bony process.
In the knee, there are three bursas (the plural is also spelled “bursae”): the pre-patellar bursa, the infra patellar bursa and the anserine bursa (
figure 1). As their name implies, the first two bursas are designated by their position relative to the patella. The anserine bursa is his name by its association with the so-called pes anserinus, meaning “foot of the goose”, namely, the three tendons that insert onto the anteromedial tibia. (The three tendons are the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus.) The pes bursa is typically about 5 cm below the joint line, and therefore symptoms there may be mistaken for articular pathology.
Figure 1: The areas of the pre-patellar (red), infra-patellar (purple) and pes anserine (yellow) bursas are shown
The prepatellar bursa is located superficial to the patella.
There are two infrapatellar bursae, superficial and deep. The superficial bursa is located between the tibial tubercle and the subcutaneous fascia, while the deep bursa is located between the patellar tendon and the upper tibia.
Infrapatellar bursitis develops in a similar fashion to prepatellar bursitis. Chronic microtrauma secondary to kneeling can lead to superficial bursa wall thickening and inflammation. Chronic overuse and irritation of the patellar tendon can lead to deep infrapatellar bursitis. Its location also makes it susceptible to traumatic causes of bursitis, and septic bursitis.
After injury, synovial cells in the bursa thicken and may undergo villous hyperplasia. Over time, granulation tissue and fibrous tissue may be found. If an inflammatory reaction occurs, the bursa becomes filled with fluid.
Patients with prepatellar or infrapatellar bursitis typically report a history of chronic kneeling, or a recent increase in time spent kneeling. They may also report difficulty walking and pain that is exacerbated by kneeling.
figure 2) suggests an infectious etiology.

Chronic prepatellar bursitis can present with a soft, non-tender boggy mass on the anterior aspect of the patella, while acute bursitis can present as an erythematous, warm and tender mass. Patients with infrapatellar bursitis exhibit tenderness over the patella ligament, and local edema. Strength and range of motion are often unaffected but may be limited secondary to pain.
Patients with pes anserine bursitis commonly report medial knee pain, exacerbated by arising from a seated position, ascending stairs or lateral athletic movements. Patients often do not localize the pes anserine as the source of pain. On exam, patients typically have tenderness near the pes anserine extending to the joint line. The pes anserine is typically 5-7 centimeters below the joint line and 3-4 centimeters medial to the tibial tubercle. Flexion of the knee with the patient supine can help identify the pes anserine. While in this position, if the patient pushes their heels into the table, the gracilis and semitendinosus tendon become more prominent. Resisted knee flexion with the patient lying prone can reproduce symptoms. Hamstring tightness should also be assessed to determine its potential contribution to bursa pain.
Patient presenting with anterior or medial knee pain should be evaluated with pain radiographs to assess for fractures and presence of osteoarthritis.
Given the soft tissue nature of knee bursitis, radiographs are not helpful in confirming the diagnosis but may reveal a bony prominence that is the cause.
MRI and ultrasound can be useful in localizing soft tissue edema and ruling out other injuries such as MCL or meniscal tears; however, they are not typically required for diagnosis, but if bursitis is present, MRI will detect it (
Figure 3: An MRI of the knee
, illustrating pre-patellar bursitis (red arrow). (from https://radiopaedia.org/articles/prepatellar-bursitis?lang=us)
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is emerging as a viable imaging modality to assess the knee joint.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound can be utilized to distinguish difficult cases of joint effusion from that of bursal swelling.
Aspiration of an acutely inflamed bursa can help determine if the bursitis is septic in nature.
Non-infectious (aseptic) bursitis is characterized by cell counts lower than 2000/µL. The presence of a predominance of polymorphonuclear leukocytes or a count greater than 5000/µL should be considered indicative of infection.
The fluid should also be examined for monosodium urate crystals (as seen in gout) or calcium pyrophosphate crystals (as seen in pseudogout).
If infection is suspected, the fluid should be sent for Gram stain and culture. Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for about 80% of cases of septic bursitis of the knee.
Varying degrees of inflammation occur in bursitis. The fluid is usually rich in fibrin, but can be hemorrhagic.
A complete blood cell count and blood cultures should be collected if there is concern for systemic infection.
Bursitis is common: this diagnosis accounts for 0.4% of primary care clinic visits.
The epidemiology of prepatellar bursitis and infrapatellar bursitis are similar. Males have a greater prevalence of prepatellar and infrapatellar bursitis and may be four times more likely to experience bursitis. There is increased prevalence among workers or clergy that spend a significant amount of time kneeling. The prevalence of prepatellar or infrapatellar bursitis is highest amongst construction workers and skilled blue collar workers (painters, plumbers, etc.), approximately 2%. Prepatellar bursitis is also common among wrestlers for the same reason.
Pes anserine bursitis accounts for approximately 2.5% of symptomatic knee evaluations. Pes anserine bursitis affects both young, athletic patients and older patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Knee bursitis is one of the many causes of knee pain.
It is important to recall that many patients with pes bursitis will also have medial compartment arthritis, and therefore it becomes important to distinguish between bursal pain and true joint pain.
Infrapatellar bursitis may present with symptoms that are indistinguishable from those caused by patellar tendinitis. Fortunately, the treatment of the two is roughly the same and therefore they may not need to be precisely differentiated.
Patients with fever, severe knee pain, inability to bear weight and significantly limited range of motion should be evaluated for a septic joint or septic prepatellar bursitis. Patients with systemic symptoms such as fevers, chills, night sweats, and tachycardia should be evaluated for a systemic infection (sepsis).
Treatment Options and Outcomes
Treatment options for knee bursitis include benign neglect (“observation”), weight loss, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs), physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, immobilization and in rare instances operative treatment.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and kinesio-taping have also been investigated as potential treatments but are not commonly utilized.
Generally, non-septic bursitis is a self-limited condition. Treatment is best focused on addressing the inciting condition to prevent recurrence.
In the case of pes anserine bursitis, neglect/observation is usually not effective, as it is commonly due to an underlying condition–obesity or muscular tightness, typically. Weight loss can help alleviate the symptoms of pes anserine bursitis. NSAIDs are used when tolerated to decrease bursa inflammation and pain. Physical therapy can decrease pes anserine symptoms by stretching the hamstring muscles, thus relieving pressure on the bursa. Physical therapy also focuses on strengthening the quadriceps and other knee stabilizing muscles.
Intra-bursa corticosteroid injections can relieve bursitis symptoms by decreasing the inflammatory response. Like NSAIDs, corticosteroids can be used in conjunction with other treatment to increase efficacy.
Unlike pes anserine bursitis, prepatellar and infrapatellar bursitis can be treated with lifestyle modification and the use of knee pads. NSAIDs can be used to decrease inflammation; however, corticosteroid injects are generally avoided due to the risk of infection in prepatellar and infrapatellar bursitis. In the case of chronic prepatellar bursitis, corticosteroid injection can be used if other treatment modalities have failed.
Patients with septic bursitis are treated with antibiotics, splint immobilization, and urgent bursal aspiration. They may require surgical debridement if antibiotic treatment and decompression of bursa is not successful.
Operative bursectomy may be utilized also for cases of intractable non-infectious bursitis.
There is limited published data about the outcomes of knee bursitis treatments. Most patients treated with oral or topical NSAID experience significant symptom relief. Both physical therapy and corticosteroid injection significantly improve pain and symptoms secondary to pes anserine bursitis. Approximately 70% of patients treated with steroid injections will experience significant improvement, and 30-91% will experience resolution of symptoms.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is more effective then placebo for pes anserine bursitis symptom relief. Kinesio-taping for pes anserine bursitis may be superior to naproxen combined with physical therapy for both pain and tissue swelling relief.
Surgical bursectomy is an effective treatment for persistent bursitis; up to 80% of patients will have complete resolution of symptoms and return to pre-injury work and activities. However, patients with jobs that require significant kneeling or with chronic prepatellar bursitis may continue to be symptomatic.
Risk Factors and Prevention
Valgus knee deformity, obesity, diabetes, and female sex are risk factors for pes anserine bursitis. The risk for pes anserine bursitis can be decreased by stretching the hamstring muscles as well as strengthening the quadriceps and secondary knee stabilizing muscles. Maintenance of a healthy weight can also decrease the risk of pes anserine bursitis.
Blue collar employment, significant kneeling, and male sex are risk factors for prepatellar and infrapatellar bursitis. The risk of prepatellar and infrapatellar bursitis can be reduced by the use of knee pads when kneeling for an extended period of time and activity modification when possible.
Prepatellar bursitis is commonly known as housemaid’s knee. Housemaids would injure this bursa due to frequent kneeling when cleaning.
Infrapatellar bursitis is commonly known as clergyman’s knee. Clergyman injured this bursa by commonly kneeling on hard surfaces while in prayer.
The university financial officer is called “bursar”, for in the old days, he (and it always was a “he”) carried the college’s sack of coins.

TOKYO (AP) — A Tokyo court rejected Thursday another appeal by lawyers of Nissan’s former chairman Carlos Ghosn to have him released on bail.
The lawyers had appealed a rejection by the Tokyo District Court two days earlier of their request that Ghosn, held at a Tokyo detention center since his arrest on Nov. 19, be granted bail.
Ghosn, 64, has been charged with two alleged crimes — falsifying financial reports by allegedly underreporting his income over the past eight years, and with breach of trust for allegedly causing Nissan Motor Co. to shoulder his personal investment losses and make payments to a Saudi businessman who helped out.
Ghosn has led Nissan for two decades. He asserted his innocence in court last week, his first public appearance since the arrest.

France’s economy minister has asked Nissan’s alliance partner Renault SA to choose a successor to Ghosn. So far they only have named an acting chairman. Nissan dismissed him as chairman days after his arrest.
Suspects and defendants in Japan can be detained for months before trial, and legal experts say bail requests for those who deny their allegations are less likely to be granted than for those who confess.
Japanese prosecutors have a more than 99 percent conviction rate in criminal cases and suspects are generally not presumed innocent until proven guilty.

If there was ever a time to get decked out in red, white and blue — not to mention stars and stripes — it would be now: the week of the Fourth of July.
All manner of apparel and accessories are available in patriotic colors and patterns this time of year. In anticipation of holiday cookouts, don't forget to add a dose of patriotic flair to an outdoor dining area with a colorful accent or two.
Stripes have been a big look this season, and with holiday sales, now's the time to swoop in and snag a top or two.
The Gap's navy-and-white Mason T is $22.95. The silhouette — a little looser, with an open banded neckline — means it's a cool topper for a pair of crisp shorts. Thinking ahead to fall, layer it under a fitted blazer or sheer long cardigan.
It's easy to add a bit of sparkle to a holiday outfit by rocking a piece of star-accented jewelry. From Givenchy, a pair of Swarovski crystal-accented stud earrings ($38 at Nordstrom.com) are set off by a border of oxidized metal, making for an edgier look. These little beauties would look great with a summer outfit, but they also could be a go-to accessory for fall and winter looks.
Add a little sizzle to Fourth of July get-togethers with outdoor accents in red, white or blue. A red metal drink dispenser ($19.99) from Target holds 2.6 gallons and comes with a handy metal stand. Serve chilled holiday drinks.

Papadopoulos: ''Turkey has signed an agreement with Turkey''
Nicosia, Aug 11 (CNA) - The so-called framework agreement for a customs union between Turkey and the illegal Turkish Cypriot regime in the Turkish-occupied northern part of Cyprus will cause problems to Ankara's European aspirations, Cyprus President Tassos Papadopoulos has stressed.
Speaking after a memorial service yesterday for teh Greek Cypriots killed in the 1964 bombing of Tillyria by the Turkish airforce, President Papadopoulos said the "agreement" signed by Turkey and the bogus-state on Friday ''is empty of content'', noting that actually it was signed between Turkey and... Turkey.
President Papadopoulos explained that according to an international court decision the pseudostate is subordinate to Ankara thus any action or agreement the regime signs is illegal.|
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third.

Argued April 21, 22, 1909
Decided May 17, 1909
214 U.S. 179
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA
A resolution of a municipal council directing a street railway company to remove and replace tracks and wire, and, in case of failure to comply, instructing the City Solicitor to take such action as he deems advisable to enforce the resolution, amounts only to direction to bring a suit, and, even if contract rights should be violated if the resolution were enforced, the resolution does not of itself amount to an ordinance or law impairing the obligation of contract, and the circuit court has no jurisdiction of a suit to enjoin its enforcement.
The facts are stated in the opinion. chanrobles.com-red
MR. JUSTICE HOLMES delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is a bill brought in the circuit court by an Iowa corporation against a city of Iowa. The ground of jurisdiction is that a resolution of the city council of that city is a law impairing the obligation of contracts within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States, and, if carried out, will take the property of the corporation without due process of law, contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment. The circuit court granted an injunction against the enforcement of the resolution, and the defendant appealed to this Court.
The plaintiff, the appellee, sets up, under a certain ordinance, a right, unlimited as to time, to construct, maintain, and operate an electric street railway in and over the streets, alleys, and bridges of Des Moines. The resolution alleged to impair these rights is as follows:
"Whereas questions have been raised as to the rights of the Des Moines City Railway Company and the Interurban Railway Company to maintain their tracks and operate their lines upon and along and over the streets and bridges and public places of the City of Des Moines, and"
"Whereas it is essential to the preservation of the rights of the City of Des Moines that such questions be determined as speedily as possible, "
"Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Des Moines that said companies be, and they are hereby, ordered to remove all of their tracks, poles, and wires from the streets, bridges, and public places of the City of Des Moines, and to restore and repair the surface and pavement, where paved, of all of the streets along which they they are now operating their lines, and said companies are hereby ordered to commence said removal within twenty-five days after the passage of this resolution."
"Be it further resolved that, should the said railway companies fail to commence such removal within the time above specified, the City Solicitor be, and he is hereby, instructed to take such action as he shall deem advisable and necessary to secure the enforcement of the above resolution."
"Be it further resolved that the City Clerk be, and he is hereby, instructed to serve a certified copy of this resolution upon the Des Moines City Railway Company and the Interurban Railway Company forthwith."
We are of opinion that this is not a law impairing the rights alleged by the appellee, and therefore that the jurisdiction of the circuit court cannot be maintained. Leaving on one side all questions as to what can be done by resolution, as distinguished from ordinance, under Iowa laws, we read this resolution as simply a denial of the appellee's claim, and a direction to the City Solicitor to resort to the courts if the appellee shall not accept the city's views. The resolution begins with a recital that questions as to the railway company's rights have been raised, and ends with a direction to the City Solicitor to take action to enforce the city's position. The only action to be expected from a City Solicitor is a suit in court. We cannot take it to have been within the meaning of the direction to him that he should take a posse and begin to pull up the tracks. The order addressed to the companies to remove their tracks was simply to put them in the position of disobedience, as ground for a suit, if the city was right.
Decree reversed, with direction to dismiss the bill.


President Obama’s fiscal commission was tasked with trying to get deficits under control, but its proposals would dramatically accelerate the growth of the new entitlement program created by the national health care law, thus expanding America‘s future obligations, says Rep. Paul Ryan, a member of the commission and the incoming chair of the House Budget Committee.
Among the many proposals contained in the 66-page report, one of them would begin to phase out the tax exclusion for employer-based health insurance. While supporters of a free market for health care have long argued that such a step would be necessary to create a functioning market for insurance, Ryan argues that doing so with ObamaCare still intact would have disasterous ramifications. In the world of ObamaCare, Ryan explains, when employers begin to drop insurance coverage in response to the change in tax treatment, instead of going into a competitive free market, Americans will be funnelled into the government-run insurance exchanges. This would hasten the nation’s long-term slide into a single-payer health care system.
“While I’m pleased to see the need to address the exclusion in the context of the Fiscal Commission, I have serious concerns with the consequences if applied under Obamacare’s infrastructure,” Ryan wrote in a email to TAS. “Without a healthy, vibrant, competitive market for health insurance, the proposed reforms would move employees away from job-based health insurance, and end up in the government-controlled exchanges. This would dramatically increase entitlement spending as hundreds of millions of Americans would be dumped into the subsidized exchanges. It would also result in more people being forced into the new health entitlement, at a time when we have no plan to finance our existing entitlement programs.” (Source: American Spectator)
The commission has jump-started debate on a critical issue facing America. As Rep. Ryan points out though the last thing this country needs is an acceleration of ObamaCare. Which is why as important as the tax exclusion is now is not the time for it. Go to the source to read Rep. Ryan’s complete statement.

Harlan City Council addresses tax rates
Published 2:46 pm Monday, August 28, 2023
During a recent meeting, the Harlan City Council performed the first reading of the city’s property tax ordinance for the upcoming fiscal year, leaving the rate for real property unchanged and slightly dropping the rate for tangible property.
Mayor Joe Meadors brought the topic up to the City Council.
Meadors pointed out it is not necessary at this time to increase the real property or tangible property tax rates to maintain the city’s tax revenue.
“I personally think if we can bring in a little bit more money at the same tax rate, we ought to try to leave it the same,” said council member Jeff Phillips.
Meadors mentioned that the city’s personal property assessment decreased a few years ago, leading to higher tax rates.
“That’s one of the reasons our tax rate is so high. To maintain the same amount of tax revenue, we had to up it,” Meadors said. “I think long term, the goal ought to be to lower that a little bit each year until we get it back down to where the real property rate is; this year (2022), the rate was .46 cents (per $100 of assessed value) for real property, .49 cents (per $100 of assessed value) for personal property and .32 cents (per $100 of assessed value) for motor vehicle and watercraft. If you keep those same three rates, we’ll bring in about $20,000 more, but I can tell you its getting eaten up every day. I’d like to think we’re going to see some slowing of inflation, but everything we buy, it seems like it’s sky high.”
Meadors told the council the city is in a good position this year due to increased assessments in all areas, including real property, tangible property, and motor vehicles.
Following some further discussion, the council approved the first reading of a motion setting the city’s tax rate for real property at .46 cents per $100 of assessed value, tangible property at .4879 cents per $100 of assessed value, and .32 cents per $100 of assessed value for motor vehicle and watercraft.

Talk persists that some of the leading lights of the British drugs industry will be caught in the fever gripping the US pharmaceutical groups. And, it is suggested, if the Americans remain aloof, then Glaxo could go on the offensive with an attack on one of its main British rivals.
With stories persisting of a bid for a Footsie constituent, Wellcome and Zeneca are seen in certain quarters as likely takeover fodder.
Wellcome jumped 28p to 685p and Zeneca 22.5p to 833p.
The two shares have often outstripped the rest of the market - and indeed the other members of the drugs sector - with market men pointing to persistent US buying.
Glaxo failed to join in the excitement although, after stripping out its dividend payment, the shares edged ahead 6p to 572p.
The rest of the market steadied after Friday's ragged retreat and the FT-SE 100 index managed a modest, none too convincing, 14- point gain to 3,079.1 in thin trading. Dividend payments reduced progress by 7.9.
BT firmed as Cazenove was said to have upgraded its estimates. The shares rose 3.5p to 380p and the partly paid 4p to 260.5p. The final 120p-a-share instalment on the partly-paid is due next month.
Allied-Lyons failed to celebrate its new Allied Domecq identity, falling 3.5p to 568p. The name change follows the pounds 739m takeover of Pedro Domecq, the Spanish brandy and sherry group.
Supermarkets were mostly firm on talk the Government is planning to make it even more difficult to get planning permission for out-of-town superstores. Argyll put on 6p to 296p and Asda 1p to 67p.
Tesco, interim figures today, improved 2.5p to 251p. Yamaichi, the Japanese securities house, rates the shares a buy. Its analyst, Bill Myers, is looking for profits of pounds 248m against a restated pounds 231.4m. For the year he is shooting for pounds 562 (pounds 520.5m).
Kwik Save dipped 3p to 604p, a surprise reaction to the ending of a standstill agreement with Dairy Farm International, the Hong Kong group. Although Dairy Farm said it had 'no present intention' of bidding for Kwik Save the ending of the standstill makes it much easier for it to do so.
Under the agreement Dairy Farm faced difficulties increasing, or even selling, its stake, which has crept from 25 per cent seven years ago to 29.4 per cent.
Regional electricities performed powerfully, thanks to bullish comments from Panmure Gordon.
Its analyst, Angelos Anastasiou, looks for dividend growth of up to 10 per cent a year until the end of the decade and suggests the flotation of the National Grid could be worth at least 150p, possibly 200p, to electricity shares. South Wales Electricity continued its buying in programme, picking up 250,000 at 813p.

RIT Capital, the investment trust, fell 6p to 177.5p on reports that its fund manager, David Weill, backed by RIT, is being forced to liquidate his portfolio because of falling bonds. It is said RIT's stake, once worth pounds 28.8m, is valued at less than pounds 15m.
The expected Azerbaijan oil deal lifted Ramco Oil Services a further 16.5p to 272.5p and filtered through to British Petroleum, 3.5p higher at 417p.
MAI, the money broking and television group, fell 23p to 255.5p on its figures.
Goldborough, the nursing homes group, rose 6p to 157p. It intends to take up its option at 74.8p on 3.6 million shares in Healthcare. Some will be sold in Healthcare's flotation.
The FT-SE 100 index staged a modest 14-point rally to 3,079.1 but the supporting FT-SE 250 index fell 8.1 to 3,608. Turnover was an unimpressive 469.1 million shares with 24,512 bargains recorded. Gilts were firm.
Business Technology, run by Alan Baldwin (ex-Securiguard) and rechristened Berkeley Business, returns tomorrow after putting through two deals. There are hopes the shares will nudge 14p against an 8.5p suspension price. Berkeley, an office services company, has moved into parcel delivering and is keen on a security buy.
Another recruit to the 4.2 market. Dealings are due to resume today in the shares of African Gold. They were suspended at 11p in December, 1992, when the company received a takeover approach. But an offer failed to materialise. AfGold, run by the Irish entrepreneur John Teeling, has two gold mines in Zimbabwe and is debt-free.

Basil is one of the easiest herbs to grow, both indoors and outdoors. Moreover, it is a good sweetener with its nice aroma for your meals and salads. basil; You can use it to make delicious sauces, soups, casseroles. Ways and tricks to grow basil…
At What Light Intensity Should We Grow Basil?
Basil is a light-loving herb. For this reason, choosing a sunny spot to grow basil will provide you with positive feedback. It should receive at least 4 hours of sun.
Which Soil Should We Choose to Grow Basil?
The biggest problem that can be encountered when growing basil is fungus. The choice of soil in which you will grow basil becomes important in the fight against fungus. It is necessary to mix basil with natural humus prepared by compost method and enrich the soil in this way. Basil roots do not like to stay in water, so it is important that the soil is permeable and provides proper drainage. Mulching is not necessary, but it is fine.
Where to Grow Basil?
At the beginning of my article, I mentioned the importance of the sun in the location where you will grow basil. In addition, take care to protect the basil from wind and cold. Leave a 20 cm space between each seedling during planting. The spaces will ensure that the air is well circulated and your seedling will grow more lush by taking oxygen well. You can plant basil in your garden or grow it in pots.
Did you know that?
Basil is believed to be a natural fly and mosquito repellent. By placing pots planted with basil at various points of your windows, doors, balconies and terraces, you can both get a beautiful view and combat fly species. Also, throwing a few basil leaves on the fire during a barbecue or barbecue will also help you drive away pests.
How to Water Basil?
Thorough watering once a week will suffice. Basil isn’t a very water-loving plant, but that doesn’t mean it likes drought, so be sure to water deeply when watering once a week. In the intense heat of summer, it would be ideal to increase this weekly period to two or three times a week. (Tip: water when the soil surface is dry) If your basil starts to turn yellow, it’s a sign of overwatering. If it starts to dry, it shows that you have given less water. Do not water the basil leaves, water from the base of the plant.
Where to Plant Basil?
Basil grows well in pots and containers (non-oil alloy pots). It is important that the soil you choose for your pot is enriched with humus. It is important to put pebbles at the bottom of the pot, as the drainage of the soil is important. You can also put the hard shells of nuts such as pistachio shells and walnut shells instead of pebbles. Then add the humus soil and complete the planting process. Remember, the soil in the container always dries out quicker. Therefore, you should follow the irrigation more meticulously.
The Subtleties of Growing Basil Indoors
Before the first frost of the season, cut the root cuttings with the help of scissors and soak them in water. It will start to root in an average of 7 days. You can also grow basil indoors by planting it in pots, just like in outdoor cultivation. Make sure the spot you choose for your basil indoors receives good sun and is protected from the cold. Basil can be planted alone or compatible with other herbs. For this reason, you can design your kitchen garden where you can grow different herbs together with a composition that includes basil.
Tips for Growing Basil
For Bushy Basil Seedlings; When the basil reaches 10-15 cm in length, cut it with scissors for more days. (Instead of plucking herbs such as basil, mint, and parsley, cutting and pruning makes the next crops grow faster and bushy.)
Cut off the top leaves first, this is the most effective way to ensure steady growth.
Trim once a week to let the basil’s flavor develop.
It is said that if you grow tomatoes and basil together, their aromas can be influenced by each other, helping you to obtain more delicious products.
Problems and solutions when growing basil: If your basil leaves turn yellow or take a pastel appearance, then your basil may not be getting enough nitrogen. If you have encountered such a problem, do an additional supplement once a month. This is an important detail, especially when growing basil indoors. Do not fertilize unless necessary. Adding too much fertilizer will spoil the taste of basil. If you water too much, this will affect the color of the leaves and cause them to turn yellow.

Moto Z2 Play surfaces online
We already heard quite a few rumors about this year's refresh of the popular Moto Z family, but the Moto Z2 Play now surfaces in its first leaked images. Obviously, Lenovo did not confirm anything yet, but since the alleged Moto Z2 Play looks similar to the original Moto Z Play, it is highly probable that this is the real thing.
The picture was provided to TechBuffalo "by a trusted source" and reveals a slightly redesigned home button, now looking like the one recently introduced with the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus. Its purpose is to act as a home button and fingerprint reader with swiping gestures support.
Since there is no word on the specs of the upcoming Z2 Play, we can safely assume that a generous battery is still in the cards. Last year's model had a full HD display, so we cannot imagine a change in this department considering the handset's price range. The original Z Play used a Snapdragon 625 processor, 3 GB RAM, and 32 GB internal storage.
These being said, we should expect more details to arise in the coming weeks. The Moto Z Play made its debut in August, but the Z2 Play might arrive in June - at least if the launch event takes place on the date displayed on the screen of the unit shown in the leaked image.

If your smile isn’t what it used to be, you may find yourself dreaming about the way it once looked. Luckily the dentist Oak Brook residents trust for their dental health and smile restoration needs can give you back your smile. At our Oak Brook dentist office, our team of skilled professionals can work with you to return and restore your smile back to the way it was when it was at its best. One procedure that keeps your smile looking the most natural is with the help of dental implants.
Implants with Dentures
Implants are used for a variety of reasons. They can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth. They can also be used to secure dentures in your mouth. With dentures, implants keep them in place so that the wearer doesn’t have to worry about them falling out or slipping out of their mouth. Dentures and implants have also shown to prevent movement which, thus, decreases mouth sores and increases comfort levels. Our Oak Brook dentist can talk with you before any work is done so you understand how dentures can restore your smile and help you determine if utilizing implants would be right for you.
Implants and Teeth
The greatest advantage of dental implants is perhaps the
look of the artificial tooth. A dental
implant is a wonderful option for replacing a tooth which is absent. It acts like a normal tooth, with a post
acting as the root. A crown is fixed to
the post. A dental crown is matched to
your existing enamel color by our Oak Brook dentist and designed to look like a
real tooth. Caring for the implant
requires the same daily brushing and flossing recommendations that should be a
part of your daily regimen. An implant
will restore your smile by creating a very natural looking replacement tooth.
The purpose of restorative dentistry is to restore your smile. To some, that may mean a simple dental bond or veneers. Other Oak Brook dentist patients may need implants or crowns. At our office, we consult with each patient individually before any work begins so that we can create a plan of action based on your goals and needs. If you are ready for a new smile, visit our Facebook page to learn more about our services or call us to set up your consultation. Take the time to learn how you can get the great smile you once had along with healthy gums and teeth. Working with our team will restore your smile and your oral health and you’ll love the end result.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA (AP) – “I am expecting quite a show.”
I didn’t realise how prophetic my words would be when ABC News correspondent Rebecca Jarvis asked in early September what I was expecting on the opening day of a high-profile trial dissecting an alleged scam orchestrated by fallen Silicon Valley star Elizabeth Holmes.
The interview became part of Jarvis’ podcast, The Dropout, revolving around the trial the culminated in Holmes’ January 3 conviction on four counts of fraud tied to the nearly USD1 billion invested in Theranos, a blood-testing company that she founded at age 19 after dropping out of Stanford.
Now that she is facing a likely prison sentence, Holmes’ meteoric rise and mortifying collapse has been turned into The Dropout, a highly entertaining Hulu TV series based on the podcast and other sources that delved into a drama that shined a bright light on Silicon Valley’s dark side.
Holmes, who faces 20 years in prison when she’s sentenced in September, turned 38 last month while out on bail while living on a luxurious Silicon Valley estate.
The eight-episode series, draws upon some of the evidence that emerged during that trial, particularly texts between Holmes and her former lover and business partner, Sunny Balwani.
Other material had been previously laid out in the book, Bad Blood, by former Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou whose 2015 stories exposed the flaws in Theranos’ technology and the 2019 HBO documentary, The Inventor.
But the Hulu series breathes life into Holmes’ saga like no other while also telling the stories of a cast of characters who were charmed, reviled and otherwise affected by her quest to become a billionaire and perhaps change the world along the way, much like her idol, the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether told The Associated Press she took “some poetic licence, but in a thoughtful way” as she infused the saga with even more drama.
The series uses the real names of everyone involved with one notable exception, Theranos’ former lab director, Adam Rosendorff, who spent five days on the witness stand during the trial, much of the time sparring with one of Holmes’ lawyers, Lance Wade.
Meriwether cited unspecified legal reasons for identifying Rosendorff’s character as Mark Roessler in the series, even though anyone who knows Holmes’ story will realise who it really is. Other people featured in The Dropout who factored into the trial include former Theranos employee and key whistleblower, Erika Cheung and former Walgreens CEO Wade Miquelon, who both were called to the stand by federal prosecutors; Carreyrou, who came to court six of the seven days Holmes testified, ensuring he had a seat in her direct line of vision; and Holmes’ mom Noel (who came to court every day holding her daughter’s hand on the way in and out), and her father, Chris, who only came for closing arguments and the jury deliberations that led to the verdict.
The series also illuminates the roles of people we heard about during the trial but didn’t take the stand. That includes another whistleblower, Tyler Shultz, and his grandfather, Theranos board member, former US Secretary State, George Shultz, who died last year before the trial began.
In this series, Tyler is depicted as a courageous hero while his grandfather comes across as an ageing statesman better suited for negotiating with world leaders than for seeing through Holmes’ charms.
Another character whose name came up during the trial but whose full story wasn’t allowed to be fully told was Ian Gibbons, a chemist who joined Theranos not long after Holmes founded the company in 2003. Gibbons died in 2013 after taking an overdose of pills before he was supposed to testify in a patent lawsuit filed against Holmes, who is depicted in the series hailing his demise as a victory. The series also cast Oracle founder and Silicon Valley icon Larry Ellison as playing a pivotal part in Holmes’ saga that went beyond his role as an early Theranos investor.
The Dropout depicts Ellison delivering a sermon that transforms Holmes from a giddy young girl prone to dancing to pop music and blurting out “Awesome!” into a ruthless entrepreneur determined to do whatever it takes to “get the money!” (Meriwether acknowledged she doesn’t know if anything like that scene actually happened, but defended it as a fair portrayal of Ellison as Holmes’ mentor.)
And then there is Balwani, who was banned from attending her trial after she alleged his sexual and emotional abuse of her may have contributed to whatever misconduct occurred at the company. Balwani’s specter loomed large throughout the trial, including the afternoon when Holmes spelled out her abuse allegations during two hours of occasionally tearful testimony.

About the Author
Allen Ginsberg was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1926, a son of Naomi and lyric poet Louis Ginsberg. As a student at Columbia College in the 1940s, he began a close friendship with William Burroughs, Neal Cassady, and Jack Kerouac, and he later became associated with the Beat movement and the San Francisco Renaissance in the 1950s. After jobs as a laborer, sailor, and market researcher, Ginsberg published his first volume of poetry, Howl and Other Poems, in 1956. "Howl" defeated censorship trials to become one of the most widely read poems of the century, translated into more than twenty-two languages, from Macedonian to Chinese, a model for younger generations of poets from West to East.
Ginsberg was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, was awarded the medal of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French minister of culture, was a winner of the National Book Award (for The Fall of America), and was a cofounder of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute, the first accredited Buddhist college in the Western world. He died in New York City in 1997.
