Second Chance is a Baltimore-based non-profit that salvages reusable components from buildings scheduled for demolition and sells the recycled items, donations, and materials to the public in their retail warehouse store, keeping items in circulation and out of landfills. CBH+A's renovation improves the aesthetics, function, and environmental considerations of their facilities located in a re-purposed warehouse in South Baltimore.
Green practices inspired mostly every decision in the final design of Second Chance. The parking lot has bioswales that integrate the native landscape into what would otherwise be a sea of cement and a new roof reduces the heat island effect. With a new entry and the addition of garage storage along the north side of the parking lot, aesthetics and circulation will be greatly improved.

I was excited to see this play as it promised to echo several conversations that I have had recently with fellow black women in the arts. “It’s about racism in performing arts and what happens when you try to combat that from within the machine” says Cassiopeia Berkeley-Agyepong; one of the writers and a character in the play (Cassi). “It’s important to mention that one [character] is a black woman and one is a mixed-race woman and they are discussing the situations that they find themselves in, in terms of racist remarks or micro-aggressions they experience and generally all kinds of nonsense stuff that happens with the industry as well”, says Lakesha Arie-Angelo, a resident director at Soho Theatre who directs the play.
Unfortunately, I could relate to almost every example they used to illustrate racist and micro-aggressive scenarios
We are invited to be the third person in a topical conversation between Cassi played by Tanisha Spring and Simone played by Olivia Onyehara. Simone Ibbett-Brown is the other co-writer.
We follow these two trained and highly-skilled women through their semi-autobiographical story. Cassi is a musical theatre actress who is exhausted by the roles of ‘Sassy Friend’, ‘Spunky Slave’, and ‘Third Crack Whore from the Left’ at every audition. Similarly, Simone a trained opera singer who quickly discovers that London is not the BNP-free utopia she’d always dreamed of.
Desperate to be seen as they are, not as the colour of their skin, they decide to take control and write their own story. Cue Shuck ‘n’ Jive. We are pulled between the creative process of how the play came to be and the actual scenes being played in front of us by the use of meta-narrative. ‘Is it a play when we’re just staging random conversations we’re having?’ they ask.
The staging, designed by Ranya El Refaey, is simple, clean and clear. Its white background with taped grids is akin to a backstage props table which brings you into the conversation as if we are in the creative process with them. It could also be interpreted like a maze which echoes the complexities of subject matter. The two women relentlessly try to figure out how to write their truths whilst still being inclusive, yet not be defined by their colour despite the fact that their colour is the focus.
Unfortunately, I could relate to almost every example they used to illustrate racist and micro-aggressive scenarios, so it is very relatable. This being said, there was a lot to laugh at and comedy was well used to lighten the tone. The sound and the lighting (Anna Clock and Jai Morjaria) was pitched well. It was brilliantly acted by both Tanisha Spring and Olivia Onyehara, both delivering powerful monologues which were raw and honest alongside their chemistry which was exciting to watch.
It was brilliantly acted by both Tanisha Spring and Olivia Onyehara, both delivering powerful monologues
Initially, I found the ending frustrating as I was left thinking “…and?” but the more I think about, it I felt frustrated because this is where we are at with theatre. This is playing out in real time, so we are far from resolution. Plays like this are supposed to start a conversation that will lead us towards change and allow space for black female writers to tell stories that represent us as four-dimensional characters.
I recommend everyone sees Shuck ‘N’ Jive and I look forward to seeing more work from these women.

Greetings from Pipe Spring National Monument, where the Covid ups and downs have deposited Ranger Jeanne this summer. Located on the Kaibab Paiute Reservation, Pipe Spring is situated between the Vermillion Cliffs and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in the Arizona Strip.
Originally slated to work at Mesa Verde this summer, the rising Southwest Covid levels brought me to a new and fascinating section of the world. I’ve learned more in the last 5 weeks than in the last 5 years. Pipe Spring is a small monument with a big Native and Mormon settler history, and the key is water. The Monument has a small but informed staff, a combined settler and Native garden, livestock, and a massive counterbalance loom. Working here is an unexpected gift.
Our garden is tended by Ranger Autumn Gillard, a Paiute anthropology major who grows amaranth, corn, beans and squash, gourds, carrots, tomatoes and more. Look for an article by Autumn in the next issue of the News which talks about NPS-tribe relations, gardening, and applying anthropology.
Pipe Spring is in phase 2 of our reopening plan. We don’t know when we’ll open the buildings, including the Museum and the Fort. You can see it all online at https://www.nps.gov/pisp/index.htm .
I don’t know how I feel about being part of a uniformed paramilitary organization and representing the government at this point in its downhill slide. But I love talking to people, mask and all. My thoughts go out to nurses, EMTs and other frontline health care workers who are getting really tired. Let’s hope for the best in the next 100 days.

During the month of May COVID-19 infection rate on the Navajo reservation was the highest in the US after New York and New Jersey. To make things worse, about 40% of the households on this vast reservation (roughly the size of West Virginia) have no running water, a factor that made regular hands washing (basic but effective protection from COVID-19) very difficult. During the same period, hand sanitizers were very hard to find, which made disease prevention on the reservation even more difficult. My colleague, Tatiana Timofeeva (a Chemistry Professor) who knew of my years of work and friendship with Navajos, offered to work with international graduate students, who had nowhere to go and stayed on campus during the summer, to produce hand sanitizers for Navajos. In less than an hour we obtained the approval of the Chemistry Department Chair and the blessings of New Mexico Highlands University’s President Dr. Sam Minner to order all the necessary ingredients and proceed with the preparation of hand sanitizers. Graduate students Tatiana Korniliva, Victor Glebov, and Evghenii Jucov produced the hand sanitizers in a chemistry lab. They later helped load crates that contained 130 1-liter bottles of hand sanitizers to my vehicle for delivery to the Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico (located in the Four Corners area of the United States).

NEW YORK CITY — “Four fashion students have harnessed the power of the onion using the vegetable’s skins to naturally dye fabrics and textiles,” notes the National Onion Association (NOA).
Their work, it goes on, part of their graduate studies program at the New York Parson’s School of Design, encapsulated a growing movement on sustainability, with one common denominator — onion skins.
“The students dyed wools, yarns, cottons, linens and silks naturally with onion skins and other natural ingredients to enhance color,” the NOA says.
Their work, officially called Onion Society, was just recently displayed Sept. 20-22, along with onion dishes and even an onion video, here in Brooklyn.
“Sometimes they’ll use baking soda to change the ph of the water, which changes the color; sometimes they’ll use vinegar. But the bi-product is always natural — enough to go back into the earth for zero waste,” it notes.
“Using onion skins as natural dyeing agents demonstrates the sustainability of one of the world’s oldest and most beloved vegetables,” the NOA relates. The onion dyeing process is all natural, the NOA points out, and dates back to 2600 B.C.
The project, sponsored in part by the NOA, came about from New York fashion designer Maria Elena Pombo, who is known for her natural dyes with avocado seeds, the NOA notes.
There’s an entire movement for sustainable textiles, demanding ethically produced clothing, but also environmentally-friendly fabrics and dyes.
New York Onion Farmer Chris Pawelski hadn’t heard of using onion skins in such a way before. “Here in New York, they are dumped in piles in the fields nearby and literally blow away or eventually break down,” Pawelski says. “Having a use for them is great!”
The National Onion Association, incorporated in 1913, describes itself as a nonprofit trade organization dedicated to supporting America’s onion farmers and increasing the consumption of onions.

- iQOO is tipped to launch the iQOO 12 smartphone soon in China.
- The company will launch the smartphone by Q1 of 2024 in the global markets.
- iQOO will equip the smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
iQOO is working on a couple of smartphones for the global and Chinese markets. The brand recently confirmed that it would launch the iQOO Z7 Pro 5G smartphone soon in India. We recently spotted the vanilla iQOO Z8 and iQOO Z8X smartphones in the GeekBench listing. The listings have confirmed the key specifications of the upcoming smartphones. iQOO is also working on its upcoming flagship smartphone i.e. iQOO 12. A tipster previously tipped that iQOO might launch the smartphone by the end of 2023. Popular tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed some more specifications of the upcoming smartphone through a new Weibo post.
iQOO 12 5G Tipped Specifications
Digital Chat Station reveals iQOO will equip the upcoming flagship smartphone with an OmniVision OV50H sensor for the primary rear camera. The Omnivision OV50H sensor is a 50MP sensor with a sensor size of 1/1.28″ and 1.2μm pixels. The tipster adds that iQOO will use the Omnivision sensor since Vivo will equip the upcoming Vivo X100 with a Sony IMX 9xx series sensor.
The OmniVision sensor gets DCG technology, quad-phase detection (QPD) for better autofocus and supports 8K video recording. The tipster had previously confirmed that iQOO would equip the device with up to 1TB of storage in China. The smartphone is also likely to be equipped with 24GB RAM owing to the current trends in the Chinese smartphone market.
Under the hood, iQOO 12 would feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. iQOO is likely to officially announce the chipset details soon after the scheduled Qualcomm summit in October. The forthcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC is expected to be equipped with an octa-core architecture.
The chipset will be equipped with a Cortex-X4 prime core, five Cortex-A720 cores, and two Cortex-A520 cores. Qualcomm will also equip the device with an Adreno 750 GPU to handle graphics. The smartphone is tipped to run on Origin OS based on Android 14 out of the box.
The tipster also confirms that iQOO would equip the smartphone with a flat display. The company is likely to equip the smartphone with an AMOLED display. The display will have a 2K resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz.
iQOO is also tipped to equip the smartphone with a triple-rear camera setup. There is no information about the other camera sensors in the upcoming iQOO flagship smartphone. The smartphone is expected to be equipped with a secondary ultra-wide-angle lens and a tertiary telephoto sensor.
iQOO is likely to equip the device with a rear camera layout on the top left of the smartphone. The smartphone is expected to be backed by a large 5000 mAh battery. However, iQOO is likely to limit the fast charging capabilities of the upcoming smartphone to 100W.

$400,000 Added To Iowa State Fair Budget
The Iowa State Fair is a huge symbol for Iowa fast approaching and this year some changes have been made, nearly half a million dollars worth.
During past years, fairgoers were checked with handheld metal detectors but this year the nine entrances to the fair will be equipped with walk-through metal detectors to ensure maximum safety for guests. The walk-through metal detectors are much more reliable than the wands so even though they cost a pretty penny, you get what you pay for. Randy Jones, commander of the Iowa State Fair Police Department explained,
“We’ve tried to think of all the possible contingencies. I just want the people to know that it’s going to be a safe state fair."
Jones also mentioned that part of the reasoning behind ramping up security is because people have tried to bring in weapons in the past. There have even been incidents where people tried to enter with “weapons” simply because they were just unaware of what was prohibited. For example, a lot of people carry mace on their keychains or pocket knives in their belts, but things like this are in fact prohibited at the Iowa State Fair.
In addition to the metal detectors, the budget will also account for hiring more officers to ensure that the fairgrounds stay as safe as possible for guests. Also, a friendly reminder, all bags are subject to be searched and refusal to comply will result in denied entry.
If you have any questions about what is or isn’t prohibited, you can click here to read through the official rules and regulations of the Iowa State Fair. If there’s something you’re not sure about whether you should bring or not, just leave it at home! We would hate for you to be the lucky winner of general admission passes just to be turned away at the gate because you forgot to take your handy dandy fireworks out of your purse. Don't forget to tune into Jake & Kerri In The Morning on K92.3 from 6a-10a Monday through Friday to learn how you can win those tickets!

- 410 Downloads
It is acceptable clinical practice to predilate a severely occluded vessel to allow better positioning of endovascular stents, and while the impact of this intervention has been examined for aggregate response in animals there has been no means to examine whether there are specific vessels that might benefit. Finite element methods offer the singular ability to explore the mechanical response of arteries with specific pathologic alterations in mechanics to stenting and predilation. We examined varying representations of atherosclerotic tissue including homogeneous and heterogeneous dispersion of calcified particles, and elastic, pseudo-elastic, and elastic–plastic constitutive representations of bulk atherosclerotic tissue. The constitutive representations of the bulk atherosclerotic tissue were derived from experimental test data and highlight the importance of accounting for testing mode of loading. The impact of arterial predilation is presented and, in particular, its effect on intimal predicted damage, atherosclerotic tissue von Mises and maximum principal stresses, and luminal deformation was dependent on the type of constitutive representation of diseased tissue, particularly in the presence of calcifications.

Coco Chanel. DVF. Phoebe Philo. No matter how diverse women creators are and have always been, there are certain tropes that come with the territory of being a ‘female designer’. Her work is usually seen as being rooted in the personal and practical in a way her male counterparts’ isn’t, and a female designer’s output is often referred to, somewhat condescendingly, as ‘woman-friendly’ (an insult, when one really thinks about it, to both sexes). Worse still, her gender may sometimes take precedence over her craft, as was the case with most coverage of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s appointment to the top job at Dior.
While men and women may have different perspectives and experiences, it is reductive to generalize woman-made fashion as workaday and less imaginative, which the industry has been inclined to do in the past. The four young, female-led labels featured in our gallery explode those tired notions with their exciting and challenging designs. From Molly Goddard’s girly innocence to Johanna Ortiz’s summery sultriness, get acquainted with some of fashion’s hottest rising stars, who just happen to be women, thank you very much.

Former Eisenhower High student visits Yakima hoping to inspire youth
YAKIMA, Wash. — A Yakima native with success in the fashion industry came back to Yakima today to remind students to follow their dreams.
Isaiah Garza was once sitting in a classroom at Eisenhower high school and said he felt that it was time for him to give back to the community he grew up in, by reminding students that there’s more after high school even if it means leaving the Yakima valley.
“If I can just get one or two kids in that room and I can help them it’ll create a ripple effect a butterfly effect, maybe they’ll do good and maybe they won’t do so much harm in the world and maybe they’ll go out and chase their dreams, ” said former Eisenhower High student Isaiah Garza.
Garza chased his dreams of being a fashion and jewelry designer out in Los Angeles.
He has designed jewelry for celebrities like Kesha, Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid.
He has even attended the biggest fashion shows in Paris.

Grieving son says use of mesh implants is a '˜form of murder'
Mark Baxter, will join Scottish Labour MSP and mesh campaigner Neil Findlay in sitting down with Jeane Freeman to discuss the circumstances surrounding his mother Eileen’s death, on a date of his choice.
The Scotsman revealed last week that Eileen Baxter, 75, who died on 27 August, was believed to be the first person in Scotland to have sacrocolopexy mesh repair – an implant to fix a pelvic organ prolapse – listed as an underlying cause of death.
Mr Baxter, from Loanhead, Midlothian, described the decision to treat thousands of women with mesh repair implants as a “form of murder”.
Mrs Baxter, a great-grandmother married to 79-year-old Chic, had multiple organ failure listed as directly leading to her death after being admitted to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with internal bleeding, sickness and diarrhoea the week before.
Mr Baxter said: “It’s a ticking time bomb – they’ve got to stop this – I’m totally shocked that this has been allowed to go on in Scotland.
“I’ve been looking into mesh and how it affects women and what it does once it’s inside someone and it’s serious stuff.
“If someone had done that to my mum on the street they’d be in jail.
“Basically, I feel the companies should not have been allowed to manufacture mesh for medical use and there’s not been enough research into the product.
“The material that was put into my mum and other woman goes rock solid, it becomes sharp and it starts affecting nerve endings and cuts through the bladder and the bowel.
“It’s like putting razor blades into the patient.
“No wonder my mother was ill and had to be on liquid morphine and everything – she must have been in excruciating pain but too proud to say it.”
Around 1,800 Scottish women a year were given mesh implants for bladder problems and pelvic organ prolapse in the two decades before its use was suspended in 2014.
It is still used in exceptional circumstances but in the six months to March this year there were 33 operations carried out – compared to over 1,100 in a similar period in 2013-14.
Elaine Holmes, from the Scottish Mesh Survivors group said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the global support and messages of condolence, support for the Baxter family and support for the Scottish Mesh Campaign ftom as far as New Zealand and Australia.
“We know the Scottish Government can’t ban mesh as it’s a devolved matter but they can stop it immediately through procurement. Mesh is reserved and it’s only the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency that can ban it.
“Our government through procurement decide what goes on hospital shelves – they can choose to clear the shelves and never use mesh again, but there has to be political will.”
Mr Findlay said the substance had left “thousands of women across the world debilitated”.
He added: “Some have lost organs, many have witnessed the end of their careers, their relationships and some have lost their homes.
“I hope the cabinet secretary for health, Jeane Freeman, will take a much more robust line on this issue than her predecessor and I will be pushing for this when I meet her.”
A spokesman from the Scottish Government said last night: “The Scottish Government does not hold information on individual patients or their treatment.
“But as we made clear last week we will give any information supplied to us on Ms Baxter’s case very careful consideration.”

INDIANAPOLIS — IFD is investigating an apartment fire that displaced more than a dozen residents early Monday morning.
Just after 1 a.m., fire crews were called to the Blue Triangle Hall Y.W.C.A. Apartments at 725 N. Pennsylvania St. for reports of a fire on the fourth floor.
When fire units arrived on scene, light smoke was visible, and the fire was located on the fourth floor shortly after.
Smoke alarms and sprinklers were working.
The fire was put under control in about 20 minutes.
All 25 occupants and several pets were safely evacuated by firefighters, and 13 of those who live on the third and fourth floor were displaced overnight. IFD Victims Assistance is working with Red Cross for shelter.
A 61-year-old man from the apartment unit where the fire originated was transported to Eskenazi Hospital for possible smoke inhalation. A building security guard was checked out and released at the scene.
Investigators say the fire resulted from a mattress on fire. The fire remains under investigation.

He stepped over a crack in the threshold she waited wanting him to stay but hating herself for her weakness. They made love, she needed it filled an empty space that needed filling, for him it wasn’t the love that he needed but to hold on to life, to stop it from slipping away, but of course it already had.
He felt owned not by this beauty who needed him but by his wife, his family, his kids, his boss, society, they all took pieces and it was difficult to find himself divided and plastered over so many walls. Sheila held him between her thighs mightily and he wanted to stay. He felt whole for a brief moment. He owned this stolen secret moment and he was himself for this time but not completely. His conscience wouldn’t let him own it. Sheila treated him like a man he hoped to be, Something not real because the real man was splintered and owned by many others. Its why he ran in the brief time he was alone without possessions, without an overseer. Sheila gave him that and not more.
She walked home in red heels wobbling on the cobbles. A silent tram in a far bend between the terraces. Her husband working late in his bar with his mates with another sheila. If he was home already, he didn’t ask. A forced acknowledgement. He just thought who his Shiela was. If he was jealous she would feel something but he barely noticed her. He had his wine in a dark room, the tele lighting up the walls. She went to bed, she washed the smell of her lover away.

Food trucks are rolling statements about some the values Americans hold dearest: independence, entrepreneurship, and mobility. Authenticity. Creativity. Affordability. With the movement growing so fast across the nation, it was only a matter of time before school food innovators started getting in on it. Today we profile two programs in sunny Florida, where hip new trucks can work year-round, winning teenage converts for healthy school meals.
"The students are more aligned to things they can see being made. They feel that because they can see people working on the truck and the items being assembled that it's different from what they're being served in the cafeteria. Some of them are floored to discover that it's the exact same product."
--Jennifer Smith on Inside School Food
"Jacksonville has become a stronghold for food trucks. There's a large buzz around town about them... We use our food trucks not just at school but at community events, to spread the gospel of school food. It's stealth approach."

ARLINGTON, VA – The nation’s private retirement system depends on the employers who take on the responsibility for creating and sustaining workplace retirement plans – and the nation’s leading information and advocacy resource for plan sponsors has developed a new program to help them do just that – at no cost.
You are here
ARLINGTON, VA – Middle-class American retirement savers could pay the price of new legislation targeting financial transactions.
“It’s called the Wall Street Tax Act, but it’s really a Main Street savings attack,” said Brian Graff, CEO of the American Retirement Association.
ARLINGTON, VA – In response to trademark infringement litigation recently initiated by CFA Institute, the American Retirement Association has issued the following statement:
“We were extremely disappointed that CFA Institute chose to file a civil lawsuit regarding alleged trademark infringement, rather than allow the administrative tribunal of the US Patent and Trademark Office to conclude its review of the merits of their claims, a process which was already underway.
ARLINGTON, VA — The American Retirement Association’s (ARA’s) mission is to protect and strengthen our nation’s retirement plan system. With retirement issues looming large for the next Congress, the ARA has revamped its government affairs leadership team with two key additions.
Will Hansen joins in the new role of Chief Government Affairs Officer, effective January 7, and Allison Wielobob has been named General Counsel of the American Retirement Association, effective January 28.
ARLINGTON, VA – In an effort to improve the understanding of retirement planning options and improve participation rates in 403(b) plans, the National Tax-Deferred Savings Association (NTSA) has created a comprehensive retirement educational program that is available to school districts and their employees across America.
TAMPA, FL – The National Tax-Deferred Savings Association is proud to announce the winners of its 2019 Elite Advisor Award.
Selected by a panel of judges from 12 finalists, the 2019 NTSA Elite Advisor Award winners are:
ARLINGTON, VA – The National Tax-Deferred Savings Association is proud to announce the finalists for its prestigious NTSA 2019 Elite Advisor Award.
Chosen from the group of 17 semi-finalists, the 2019 NTSA Elite Advisor Award finalists are:
ARLINGTON, VA – The National Tax-Deferred Savings Association (NTSA) has honored Susan J. Jennings with its Bob D. Schiller Award for her lifetime achievements and meritorious service.
The NTSA Bob D. Schiller Award recognizes individuals who have given freely of themselves, their time and resources to the NTSA and to the 403(b)/457 industry — individuals who have gone above and beyond expectations. It is named in memory of Bob Schiller, an enthusiastic supporter of the NTSA who devoted his time and energy to its success.
ARLINGTON, VA – The National Association of Plan Advisors (NAPA) is pleased to announce NAPA’s 2018 Top Retirement Plan Advisors Under 40.
Established in 2014, this year the list is drawn from an incredible pool of nearly 600 nominations provided by NAPA broker-dealer/RIA Firm Partners, vetted by a panel of senior advisor industry experts based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data submitted by the nominees.
These “Young Guns” are widely seen as the future – and in a growing number of cases current – leaders of the retirement plan advisor industry.
ARLINGTON, VA — The National Association of Plan Advisors has published its list of the nation’s top defined contribution (DC) Advisor Teams.
Unlike other lists, this focuses on individual firms, or what may, in a wirehouse environment, be referred to as a team, or office, and the assets under advisement related to their defined contribution (DC) practice specifically. This year publication of the list was also accompanied by the list of the nation’s Top DC Multi-Office Advisor Firms.

No need for the pedestal though

Also appearing are Michael Benjamin, Jordan Coughtry, Nathan Kaufman, Sarah Miller, Philip Mutz, Todd Quick, Alexander Sovronsky, Katelin Wilcox and Tyler Woods.
According the company, "The Bard pulls out all the stops for Cymbeline — a far-fetched adventure featuring a wicked queen, star-crossed lovers, long-lost children, riddles, bumbling villains and mistaken identities. This fantastical tale is brimming with improbable events, a cornucopia of colorful characters, sword fights and sleeping potions. Shakespeare's 'fairy tale' is a perfect way to celebrate the holiday season and is sure to entertain all ages."
The creative team includes set designer Brian Ruggaber, costume designer Maggie Dick, lighting designer Matthew Adelson and fight director Rick Sordelet. Music for the production is composed by Robin Weatherall.

Understanding the Alchemy of the Runes
Alchemy is the science of transmutation: the adding of dissimilar components to create a leveraged result. In an alchemical equation, the sum total of the components is therefore much more than the parts added together.
The 672 runes found in this book are in a very specific order and each has a specific value. Every set forms an alchemical equation, and jointly they form a leveraged result. When the runes are added together into a combined book, the new powerful energy that turns the book into a power object is born.
"The power of this book will work, even if it is not read. The entire purpose of this book is: The full activation of the inner and outer senses, in order to dissolve the enslaving programs of belief systems." - The Seer Almine

Abductor mechanism insufficiency after total hip arthroplasty is a rare but debilitating problem. The diagnosis is difficult, and when the condition is recognized there are few successful treatment options. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with a surgical technique involving use of a fresh-frozen Achilles tendon allograft with an attached calcaneal bone graft to reconstruct a deficient abductor mechanism after total hip arthroplasty.Methods:
From 2003 to 2006, we performed seven abductor reconstructions with an Achilles tendon allograft in patients with abductor deficiency after total hip arthroplasty. At a mean of twenty-nine months after the total hip arthroplasty, all seven patients had symptoms of lateral hip pain and abductor muscle weakness as demonstrated by a Trendelenburg test. The abductor tendon rupture was diagnosed on the basis of an arthrogram and was confirmed at surgery.Results:
Before the reconstruction, the average Harris hip score was 34.7 points and the average pain score was 11.4 points. After a minimum duration of follow-up of twenty-four months, the average Harris hip score was 85.9 points and the average pain score was 38.9 points.Conclusions:
Abductor reconstruction with an Achilles tendon allograft with a calcaneal bone block attached to the greater trochanter can produce substantial relief of pain, increased abductor muscle strength, decreased limp, and improvements in the Trendelenburg sign and in function at the time of early follow-up.Level of Evidence:
Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

For aspiring writer Cecily, the novelist's presence only adds to the intrigue and pull of the house. But it is the countess's grandson, Jack, his unanswered questions about his grandmother's past and his desire to know the truth, that draw Cecily further into the tangled web of the countess's life, and the place known as Temple Hill.

Making the Rounds with Oscar
By Dr David Dosa
Oscar the cat lives on the third floor of a nursing home in Rhode Island, USA. At first glance Oscar doesn't seem special. He's plain to look at. He's aloof. Like most cats, he's partial to treats and catnip. But in the summer of 2007 Oscar made headlines around the world. So what's so unusual about Oscar? He knows when the hospice patients are going to die. Dr Dosa's job is to respond to people's medical needs, treat them for their ailments and communicate with their families. Oscar takes care of the rest. He is a steady companion as patients descend into death. He is with them when they die. And, because of him, they don't die alone. Can a cat really predict death? Is he smelling something or responding to behavioural clues? Is he helping guide souls to heaven? Oscar's warm and profound story - of his uncanny ability to see death coming, of his steadfast and non-judgmental commitment to sit with patients as they die, of his quiet compassion - is a metaphor for what is important at the end of life.
