A recent online article quoted a dermatologist's statement that just because something contains natural rather than artificial chemical ingredients doesn't mean that it's better for you and that those with sensitive skin should simply use mild, fragrance-free soaps, cleansers and lotions.
While it is true that some natural substances are toxic and some chemicals are not and that some people do have reactions to natural products, I would venture to say that, generally speaking, you're safer putting aloe vera on your skin, for example, than some of the commonly used chemicals. However, it can be difficult to tell which chemicals are dangerous and which ones aren't. The trick lies in choosing natural skin care treatment that is effective and avoids the major offenders.
What are the major offenders?
Although there are several chemicals to be avoided, two of the most prevalent are petroleum and propylene glycol.
Petroleum, petroleum jelly and mineral oil:Petroleum-based products are among the most commonly used ingredients in skin care treatment products - including many that are labeled 'natural'.
Many studies have verified these ingredients to be dangerous. For example, a hospital study showed that infants are 11 times more likely to get systemic candidiasis from the use of petroleum-based skin care products. The candidiasis stopped when the hospital discontinued use of the products. Another study, this one conducted by Columbia University, found that the breast tissue of women with breast cancer contained significantly higher levels of petroleum than women without breast cancer.Mineral oil is a by-product of the distillation process that turns petroleum into gasoline. It forms a film over the skin that gives the illusion of softness without actually changing anything about the skin. Like petroleum, it is not 'skin care treatment', it simply masks the skin's actual condition while clogging the pores, preventing the absorption of oxygen and moisture, and inhibiting the process of expelling toxic wastes.
Propylene glycol. The major ingredient in antifreeze, propylene glycol is used in skin care treatment products to facilitate the absorption of other ingredients and to prevent the product from melting or freezing in extreme heat or cold. The labels of many skin care products, natural and otherwise, now carry a notice stating that is does not contain propylene glycol. You will find many arguments that this product is safe: the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) warns propylene glycol users to avoid skin contact as it can cause liver and kidney damage, but some say that the MSDS refers only to highly concentrated forms of the chemical and that the amounts used in skin care products are relatively insignificant - which is true.
Nevertheless, a thorough review of government and industry research conducted and published by Scorecard designates propylene glycol as suspected of causing respiratory toxicity, skin or sense organ toxicity, immunotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Additionally, because propylene glycol facilitates absorption through the skin you absorb more of any other chemicals in the products. Its sister, ethylene glycol, is even worse.The level of toxicity in our environment has been the subject of many news stories, propositions for new laws - even the weather forecast includes an air quality index to let us know if it's safe to go out of our house. Anyone informed of these dangers would want to reduce their risk. Getting industry under control is obviously a long battle, but we can, at the very least, reduce exposure in our own household by avoiding those chemicals listed above and choosing safe natural skin care treatment products.

Strictly's Dianne Buswell snaps shoe whilst dancing with Joe
Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell, 30, suffered from a wardrobe malfunction while she and former dance partner and now-boyfriend Joe Sugg, 28, hosted a virtual dance lesson on Instagram. The professional dancer and YouTuber were giving their fans tips at home during the coronavirus lockdown when the mishap happened.
What's that? What's happened?
While Dianne and Joe are cooped up at home during the nationwide lockdown, the Strictly couple decided to show their fans a dance routine to practice from home.
Taking to her Instagram page, Dianne shared a video of the pair showcasing their moves.
In view of her 844,000 followers, she was quickly interrupted as Joe noticed something on the floor in front of them.
After he got Dianne's attention, the dancer then stopped and said: "What's that? What's happened?"

Dianne then bent down to get a closer look, and asked Joe: "What is that?
"Is it chocolate?" she continued, which led Joe to reveal: "I think it's a bit of your heel."
The Australian Strictly pro then realised what had happened and yelled with laughter: "Oh my God. Oh my God, it is!"
The Burn The Floor dancer got down low onto the floor and explained to her followers: "Oh my gosh I'm going to have to take them off."
While the couple were amazed by what had happened, Dianne blurted out: "My heel just snapped guys," as Joe added: "Your heel just broke!"
However, it's not the first time one of their dance sessions hasn't gone to plan, as Dianne previously spoke out about how Joe's live Jive dance class couldn't go ahead.
Earlier this month, Joe and Dianne were planning on taking part in #YouTubers4NHSHeroes campaign where YouTubers would donate all their advertising funds to the NHS for the coronavirus pandemic.
However, Dianne then announced to their fans that YouTube deemed it as "not appropriate" for advertising.

Dan Walker: BBC host 'tries to apologise' to Louise Minchin (WATCH)
She informed her followers on her Instagram story by saying: "Hi guys, I just wanted to let you all know the Jive workout we did this morning, the one that’s raising money for the NHS, of all days today, I’m so upset."(sic)
The dancing pro then added: "YouTube have deemed it not appropriate for advertising, which it completely is, it’s just one of those things that had to happen today, of course on this particular video."
Dianne, who was disappointed with the turnout, continued to say how sorry she was and couldn't believe it had happened on her video.
She stated: "I’m so sorry, I’m getting it looked at now and hopefully very soon this will all be resolved, but I can’t believe it’s actually happened on this video.”
The star then informed her viewers how she left a link underneath the video in case any of her followers wanted to donate.
Dianne, who joined Strictly in 2017, has since spoken out about the global pandemic and urged her followers to stay at home on her Instagram page.
Alongside a photo of herself laying down on the floor with her hair spelling out "stay home", Dianne wrote: "Being home has been very strange as I thrive off being busy and love working out and about !
"But I must say Being home so much has allowed me to get creative I have also been doing more hair a passion of mine since a little girl!"(sic)
She then continued to announce: "Speaking off hair I have just loaded a men’s hair cutting tutorial on my youtube channel for those needing to do a home job it may help you out! And yes joe let me cut his hair for the second time ever ! #stayhome #homehaircut."

It feels like I'm stuck in the mud. No, not mud - quicksand. Nothing is coming easily; I've been buried more than once in the past few months.
This is life. Sometimes progress is made seamlessly out of goodwill and intention. Other times it's as if you forgot how to lace up your shoes in the morning. You better find some slip-ons.
I like to consider the advice I may give a friend should they be struggling. This advice is often much nicer than the kind I freely give myself. My inner dialogue is more akin to a bully than a friend.
If, like me, you have forgotten how to tie your shoes - it seems you are stuck - or worse, moving in the wrong direction, here is some encouragement for your day.
No matter how hard it gets, you are never stripped of control over your actions, especially in times of notable adversity.
“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” (Viktor E. Frankl)
Do your best to look objectively at any situation. Don't allow your emotions in one sense to compound into a world of negative feelings. You lose control of the situation the instant you lose autonomy over your thoughts.
“It isn't the things themselves that disturb people, but the judgments they form about them.” (Epictetus)
You are strong enough to overcome the challenge - no matter how daunting. Prove to yourself - through small actions - daily that you can create progress. Eventually, momentum will be built.
“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” (Marcus Aurelius)
And one final note, as this is something I've leaned into more than ever in recent weeks… Do the things you enjoy. Spend time with those you love. Allow yourself to reimagine happiness as less about good fortune or materiality and more about gratitude and presence.
A moment is always just a moment, and a challenge is always just a challenge - until you allow it to be something more.
Note to Self: Don't sacrifice your power by allowing emotions to cloud your understanding of reality and your ability to overcome a challenge.

The World Health Organization has released the 2012 edition of their World Health Statistics report, an annual compilation of health-related data from its 194 Member States. This report also summarizes progress being made in achieving the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
While infectious diseases get most of the world’s attention, it continues to be the NCDs (Non-Communicable Diseases) - like high blood pressure, heart disease , diabetes, and tobacco related illnesses – that exact the greatest toll on human health.
Some excerpts from today’s press release highlights these findings:
16 May 2012 | Geneva - The World health statistics 2012 report, released today, puts the spotlight on the growing problem of the noncommunicable diseases burden.
One in three adults worldwide, according to the report, has raised blood pressure – a condition that causes around half of all deaths from stroke and heart disease. One in 10 adults has diabetes.
“This report is further evidence of the dramatic increase in the conditions that trigger heart disease and other chronic illnesses, particularly in low- and middle-income countries,” says Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO. “In some African countries, as much as half the adult population has high blood pressure.”
Published annually by WHO, the World health statistics is the most comprehensive publication of health-related global statistics available. It contains data from 194 countries on a range of mortality, disease and health system indicators including life expectancy, illnesses and deaths from a range of diseases, health services and treatments, financial investment in health, as well as risk factors and behaviours that affect health.
Some key trends in this year’s report are:
- Maternal mortality: In 20 years, the number of maternal deaths has decreased from more than 540 000 deaths in 1990 to less than 290 000 in 2010 – a decline of 47%. One third of these maternal deaths occur in just two countries – India with 20% of the global total and Nigeria with 14%.
- 10 year trends for causes of child death: Data from the years 2000 to 2010 show how public health advancements have helped save children’s lives in the past decade. The world has made significant progress, having reduced the number of child deaths from almost 10 million children aged less than 5 years in 2000 to 7.6 million annual deaths in 2010. Declines in numbers of deaths from diarrhoeal disease and measles have been particularly striking.

Of considerable interest to those of us who follow disease outbreaks around the world is the lack of disease and mortality information available from many low-resource countries.
Among low income countries, only about 1% of deaths (and their causes) are recorded, while just 34 countries – representing 15% of the world’s population – produce high quality cause-of-death documentation.
The two most populous countries in the world – India and China – do not have national civil registration systems in place, and instead generate estimates of births and deaths based on smaller population samples.
All of which helps to explain why, nearly two years after the end of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, we still don’t have a good handle on how many people died from the virus.
This lack of surveillance and reporting extends far beyond just births and deaths, which is why there is so much ambiguity regarding the true prevalence of many diseases (including H5N1) around the world.
Much of the data that is available can be accessed via the WHO’s Global Health Observatory, which allows tailored online searches for health information by country or region.

8. The Atlantic Coast Shipping Company has a warehouse terminal. The capacity of the terminal docks are three trucks. As trucks enter the terminal, the driver receives a number, and when one of the three dock spaces become available, the truck with the lowest number enters the vacant dock. Truck arrivals are Poisson distributed, and the unloading and loading times (service times) are exponentially distributed. The average arrival rate at the terminal is 5 trucks per hour, and the average time to load or unload a truck equals 30 minutes.
The management of the shipping company is considering the following alternatives for improving the system:
Alternative No. 1
Add extra employees to reduce the average time to load or unload a truck to 24 minutes (instead of 30 minutes) at an annual cost of $25,000.
Alternative No. 2
Add a forth dock at an annual cost of $30,000 per year. The average time to load or unload a truck is still 30 minutes.
The management estimates that it will increase its profit by $600 per year for each minute it is able to reduce a truck's time spent in the system. Analyze each alternative and clearly state your recommendation stating its financial and operational implications.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com June 3, 2020, 6:53 pm ad1c9bdddf

WELSH Health Minister Edwina Hart is under fire for failing to help safeguard a North Wales-based service for wounded veterans.
The Pathways Treatment Service, which has helped soldiers suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), since August, may be forced to close. North Wales Welsh Conservative AM Mark Isherwood asked Mrs Hart to intervene.
Replying she said: “Veterans across Wales have access to mental health services through their GPs and community mental health teams.”
Mr Isherwood said: “This is a complete betrayal of our wounded heroes.
“Thousands are dependent on the services provided by Pathways – there is a desperate need for its existence.”
Pathways founder Dr Steven Hughes said: "If conventional mental health services were comprehensive there would not be such a high veteran rate of suicide, high prison population, and large number of veterans sleeping rough on the street.”

105-year-old bridge nearly demolished
A local contractor is undertaking the final phase of demolition of the Traffic Bridge in Saskatoon, which was closed by inspectors two years ago due to safety concerns about the oldest bridge in the city.
“(Phase three) involves demolition of the steel bridge span and removal of the demolished materials for disposal, along with cleanup of the site,” stated a City of Saskatoon press release.
“The project is scheduled to be fully complete by mid-November.
Saskatoon-based Saskcon Repair Services Ltd. was awarded the $388,888 contract for the demolition of Span One of the Traffic Bridge.
The project includes salvage and disposal of the structural materials; installation of a new temporary trail to connect the Meewasin Trail around the area near Span 2; installation of permanent chain link fencing around Span 2 and at the top of the south abutment; and modifications to jersey barriers needed to allow Saskatchewan Crescent and Victoria Avenue to be reopened through the area.
Phase Two started earlier this month and included removing the asphalt surface, timber deck and salvageable bridge components.
Phase One included structural shoring of Span One to support demolition equipment.
The Traffic Bridge, which was built in 1907 for horses and carriages, was shut down by Saskatoon city inspectors on Aug. 24, 2010 due to safety concerns.
The decision was made after preliminary results from a scheduled inspection showed serious corrosion and deterioration of some steel members underneath the deck.
At the time of the unexpected closure, the bridge linking the Nutana neighbourhood to downtown was serving about 7,000 vehicles per day, and remained an important and well-used pedestrian and cyclist crossing.
A detailed visual inspection and assessment was undertaken by Stantec on all components of the structure in November 2010.
Initial observations identified significant section loss in the components of the bridge below the deck. The detailed load rating identified many elements that could not support the desired dead and live loads.
As well, Span 4 had reached the point that it can no longer support its own weight safely.
Based on this report, Stantec concluded the only viable future option for the structure was to either replace the bridge with a new facility, or to completely remove and replace the lower portions of the truss and the entire deck structure system.
After a series of public consultations, the Saskatoon City Council faced a choice between rehabilitating the current structure or building a new one.
Council voted on December 2010 to replace the structure through a design-build process with a modern steel truss bridge for vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist use.
The new bridge trusses will be engineered to accommodate a safe minimum vertical clearance for emergency vehicles and transit. The new bridge will be constructed with 3.7 metre driving lane widths and use the existing concrete piers.
An effort will also be made to be sympathetic to the heritage and architecture of the existing bridge.
Construction of the new structure has an estimated time of 18 to 24 months. The cost to replace the Traffic Bridge with a modern steel truss bridge will be between $27 and $34 million.

Historian Hélène Carrère d’Encausse Passes Away
The historian Hélène Carrère d’Encausse, the first woman to head the French Academy and a great specialist in Russia, died on Saturday, August 5 in Paris at the age of 94. “She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family,” her children – presenter and doctor Marina Carrère d’Encausse, her sister lawyer Nathalie and her brother writer Emmanuel – said in a statement. Perpetual Secretary of the Academy since 1999, she had indicated that she should be called “Madame le Secrétaire perpétuel”, without feminizing the function. Because, according to her, “there has been only one Perpetual Secretary for three and a half centuries. It is this idea of continuity that must prevail. It is a lineage that continues”.
Reactions to the Announcement of her Death
At the announcement of her death, the reactions were immediate. “A major historian, she was the first woman Perpetual Secretary of the French Academy. Like her, her legacy is immortal,” praised President Emmanuel Macron – currently on vacation at Fort de Brégançon with his wife Brigitte Macron – in a message on the X platform (formerly Twitter). “Hélène Carrère d’Encausse lived, until the end, to defend the richness of the French language with a federative energy. A convinced European, she was free and tenacious in her commitments,” posted Culture Minister Rima Abdul Malak. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy said on X and Instagram he remembered “her great intelligence, her sense of humor and her commitment to freedom”. And Marine Le Pen saluted the memory of a woman “whom the torments of history had deprived of a homeland but who chose France out of love for our civilization”.

“She embodied, firmly and courageously, for a long time, what intelligence and knowledge beyond the ordinary can bring the best to a society,” praised Xavier Darcos, Chancellor of the Institute of France and member of the French Academy. “She was a great lady of Letters and Arts,” finally noted former Culture Minister and current President of the Institute of the Arab World Jack Lang on BFMTV.


Top 10 Best Straight Swords in Dark Souls 3This post may contain affiliate links. If you buy something we may get a small commission at no extra cost to you. (Learn more).
Since the days of Dark Souls 1, straight swords have been my favorite weapon type.
They have solid damage, range, and utility, and are perfect for the balanced player who wants a well-rounded kit.
And while these reliable blades may be beginner-friendly, make no mistake, they are just as potent in the hands of seasoned experts.
But which swords should you be keeping an eye out for?
10. Sunlight Straight Sword
Kicking off our list is the Sunlight Straight Sword.
It has a C scaling in faith (going up to B at max reinforcement), meaning it’s great for miracle builds that are going for a more melee focused approach!
It also sports a unique weapon skill that acts very similarly to the sacred oath miracle, which can save you 2 attunement slots in your builds!
However it’s low scaling in strength and dex means it can fall off towards the late-game, in some cases.
How to get: In a mimic chest below the white dragon in Lothric castle.
9. Lothric’s Holy Sword
The trademark weapon of prince Lothric himself, the holy sword is indeed a flashy blade.
Not only does it look awesome, it boasts one of the coolest weapon skills for straight swords, having your character hold a stance to release an immense thrust of sacred light.
The range on this skill makes it great for catching out foes trying to run away, but getting enemies low to begin with is where the sword falls short.
Sadly, thanks to its very poor scaling, the damage of this weapon is lacking.
How to get: Soul transposition from the twin princes boss soul.
What I would give to place this weapon higher on the list.
Coming straight from Sparta, the epic Valorheart transforms you into a fierce gladiator.
Its moveset is one of the most intricate in the game, having built-in blocks on most of its attacks, allowing you to shirk off blows whilst swinging your own.
Whether or not it’s worth learning, however, is a different matter.
With its low range and damage, it’s hard to argue taking the time for this weapon over any of the (often stronger) blades.
How to get: Dropped by the champion’s gravetender boss in the frozen depths of the painted world DLC.
7. Gotthard Twinswords
Having the longest range of all the straight swords, the Twinswords are a formidable weapon.
Whilst not having much viability in general gameplay, it’s in PvP- especially duels- where these blades shine.
The reason for this is their great damage and scaling alongside the ability to be both infused and buffed- fitting them into almost any build you want!
They have a great aggressive moveset and the weapon art is awesome for locking foes into devastating chains of blows.
How to get: Found on Gotthard’s corpse outside the grand archives.
6. Irithyll Straight Sword
If looks could kill, the Irithyll sword would be up there with the best.
This beautiful ice-shrouded swords ornate yet sleek appearance makes it very popular among DS3 fans.
It’s not all a pretty face, however, as it also has some decent damage to back it up.
It even applies frostbite – inflicting extra chunks of damage as well as lowing the damage resistance and stamina regen of your opponents!
How to get: Dropped by the outrider knight just before the road of sacrifices.
5. Ringed Knight Straight Sword
Another DLC entry, the fiery ringed knight straight sword quickly gained popularity after its release thanks to its awesome weapon skill.
The skill in question – ‘ember’, wreaths the sword in scorching flame – near doubling the range and adding extra damage.
Ember also enables some ruinous combos, chaining easily after landing basic attacks, and often spelling an early end for your enemies.
However, its mixed bag of scaling stats makes it hard to fit into most builds.
How to get: On a ruined building in the swamps of the ringed city, near the bonfire.
4. Anri’s Straight Sword
Whilst it may look like any other weapon at a glance, there is more to Anri’s sword than first meets the eye.
This weapon is one of the very few in the game to scale with luck, and man does it scale!
It hits extremely hard on pure luck builds, even at the base equip stats of 10/10 strength/dex.
It also acts as a blessed weapon- providing faith scaling and HP regen!
How to get: Finish Anri’s questline – good or bad. Or just kill them, if you’re a monster.
3. Dark Sword
Back in the early days of Dark Souls 3, it was the dark sword that reigned supreme.
Even now, after its 20 base damage nerf, it’s in the top selection of PvP swords.
It’s essentially a fast-swinging greatsword – it hits like a truck and even has a poise-granting weapon skill.
On top of this, it can be buffed and infused and fits into virtually any build.
How to get: Dropped by Darkwraiths – most of which can be found in Farron.
2. Morion Blade
Despite being number 2, it’s not the sword part that we’re interested in, it’s the passive.
Its built-in effect boosts your damage by 20% – so long as your HP is low!
This stacks with all sorts of damage boosters, including the red tearstone ring, Carthus beacon, and even itself, provided you have 2 of them.
It’s thanks to its importance in the fun and flashy one-shot builds that this weapon is so high on the list!
How to get: Given by Yuria, after killing Orbeck for her.
1. Lothric Knight Sword
I can feel all the DS3 veterans rolling their eyes, but yes, it’s the Lothric knight sword.
Let’s be honest, it would’ve taken a miracle for any other straight sword to be number 1.
It has insane damage, above-average crit multiplier, good range, and S scaling on basically any infusion it gets.
You can even obtain it in one of the first areas of the game, and it will carry you through the entire story.
Love it or hate it, the Lothric knight sword is simply the best sword – maybe even the best weapon in the game.
How to get: Dropped by Lothric knights on the high wall.

BJP RIDING HIGH ON JIND WIN
Following its convincing win in the Jind bypoll, the ruling BJP in Haryana is riding high. Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar took the
newly elected MLA Krishan Midha for a courtesy call to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and later the party leaders organized a celebration for the win at Chandigarh. The newly found confidence of the state BJP, however, has given rise to speculations of the ruling party going in for early assembly polls in the state. While senior party leaders, including Khattar, have denied early assembly polls, the opposition parties are expecting the dissolution of the Vidhan Sabha soon after the budget session this month. The Election Commission is expected to announce the schedule for the Lok Sabha polls in March.

Virginia Tech Holds Off North Carolina: 24-21
Virginia Tech moved one step closer to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game by defeating visiting North Carolina. The #8 ranked Hokies jumped out to a 24-7 lead at the end of three quarters and were able to hold on to a narrower the victory by a final score of 24-21.
With the win, Virginia Tech is in full command of the ACC’s Coastal division. If Virginia loses to Florida State, which is far from unlikely, Virginia Tech will be assured of a matchup against Clemson for the right to go to the Orange Bowl. If Clemson wins this week, the potential for a matchup of two 11-1 teams remains alive.
The tough question is whether a disinterested ACC fan should root for Virginia or Florida State:
- If Virginia wins, this will set up a very exciting Virginia-Virginia Tech matchup to determine who plays Clemson. Of course, if Virginia wins out, that would mean a 10-3 ACC representative. But if Virginia Tech beats Virginia, a Clemson-Virginia Tech game could feature two top 10 teams sitting at 11-1. That would get major national press.
- Of course, if Florida State wins, the ACC will see one of its football “kings” take another step towards getting back to royalty. As long as Virginia does not upset Virginia Tech, the ACC would begin to show the nation that it is ready to claim football relevance.
But none of this debate happens if the Hokies had fallen last night. So, regardless of what happens in the future, the credit must go to Virginia Tech for not losing to North Carolina and keeping this debate alive. While the game might not have been pretty, the route to a BCS bowl is ordinarily not full of only masterpieces.

Roughly half of all hip fractures are outside the hip joint capsule (extracapsular proximal femoral fractures). Many of these will be fixed or stabilised using metal implants which are a combination of screws, rods and plates attached to the thigh bone. Various techniques such as the selective removal of bone (osteotomy), the pressing together of bone fragments (compression), the addition of bone cement, and methods for insertion of nails such as reaming, are used during surgery. This review included 11 randomised or quasi-randomised trials. The majority of the participants were female, usually aged around 80 years. There were seven comparisons but the evidence for each of these was insufficient to draw conclusions. Thus, the review found that there was too little evidence from randomised trials to show which, if any, specific surgical techniques used during operations for extracapsular proximal femoral fractures are better.
There is inadequate evidence to support the use of osteotomy for internal fixation of a trochanteric hip fracture. Similarly, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of the other techniques examined in the trials included in this review.
Many different surgical techniques have been described for the internal fixation of extracapsular hip fractures.
To compare different aspects of surgical technique used in operations for internal fixation of extracapsular hip fractures in adults.
We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Specialised Register (January 2008), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library 2008, Issue 1), MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Current Controlled Trials, orthopaedic journals, conference proceedings and reference lists of articles.

All randomised and quasi-randomised trials investigating operative techniques used in operations for the treatment of extracapsular hip fractures in adults.
Two review authors independently selected trials, assessed trial quality and extracted data. Wherever appropriate, data were pooled.
Predominantly older people with trochanteric fractures were treated in the 11 included trials.
One trial (65 participants undergoing fixation with a fixed nail-plate) found no statistically significant differences between osteotomy versus anatomical reduction.
Four trials, involving 465 participants undergoing fixation with a sliding hip screw (SHS), compared osteotomy versus anatomical reduction. Osteotomy was associated with an increased operative blood loss and length of surgery. There were no statistically significant differences for mortality, morbidity or measures of anatomical deformity.
Two trials (138 participants) compared SHS fixation of a trochanteric hip fracture augmented with cement against a standard fixation. There were no reoperations even for the four cases of fixation failure in the cement group. The cement group had significantly better quality of life scores at six months. One trial (200 participants) comparing compression versus no compression of a trochanteric fracture in conjunction with SHS fixation found no significant differences between the two groups. One trial (120 participants) found a tendency to improved outcomes with a hydroxyapatite coated lag screw, but none reached statistical significance. One trial (19 participants) reported reduced temperatures when using a modified reaming method. Another trial (50 participants) found reduced bone marrow intravascular embolism, detected by oesophageal ultrasound, when a Gamma nail was inserted with a distal pressure venting hole in the femur.


text: Some juvenile justice advocates are concerned that the impending Supreme Court challenge to life sentences for juveniles may fail because not enough states have abolished such penalties. When the high court prohibited executions of juveniles in 2002, justices cited states that had taken similar actions. That has not happened on a widespread basis with respect to life sentences, Bart Lubow of the Annie E. Casey Foundation told the Coalition for Criminal Justice, ending its 25th anniversary meeting yesterday in Washington, D.C.Advocates at the conference expessed the hope that the Obama administration will use the power of the federal government to serve as a “bully pulpit” for juvenile justice reform. Jeff Slowikowski, acting administrator of the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Administration, took the opportunity to declare that the practice of trying many accused juveniles as adults has not worked to reduce recidivism. Obama has not yet named an administrator for OJJDP. Panelists at the coalition conference agreed that with a lack of federal leadership in the field during the Bush Administration, foundations such as Annie E. Casey and MacArthur have tried to fill the gap with programs such as Casey’s initiative to reform juvenile detention practices.


Michelin North America Inc. joins the ranks of tiremakers to shut down some tire production in the U.S. and Canada. But Michelin says it will keep some plants open to provide "vital and critical tires" for the nation's economy.
Risk of PM Neglect Increases with Longer Oil Drain Intervals
Extending the oil drain interval to higher miles puts it out-of-synch with courtesy checks for tire wear and brake pad or rotor inspections. By extending oil drain intervals, there will be less frequent inspection of these wear items than what has occurred in the past.

Today is National Banana Split Day! Can you say “yum”?
On Aug. 25, 1904, the banana split was created in the small town of Latrobe, Penn. David Strickler, a 23-year-old pharmacist apprentice, was working in the soda fountain section of the Tassel Pharmacy. He liked to experiment with different combinations of ice cream flavors and toppings.
His recipe was a peeled medium banana split lengthwise and placed on an oval dessert dish. He placed one scoop each of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice cream on top of the banana halves. Top with two tablespoons of sliced fresh strawberries, two tablespoons of pineapple chunks, two tablespoons of chocolate syrup, two tablespoons of whipped cream, and two tablespoons of chopped peanuts – garnish with two maraschino cherries.
He created this banana split on this day and sold it for 10 cents, which was a lot of money to spend on ice cream at the time. As a matter of fact, it was twice the price of other sundaes.
The banana split caught on with students from local Saint Vincent College, and from there, its popularity spread. Walgreens gets recognition for spreading the banana split across the nation when they added it to their soda fountain menu.
Today, banana splits are a standard item on the menu of just about anywhere ice cream is sold around the country.
There are several varieties of flavors that can go into the making of a banana split. So, I am guessing that as long as a banana is split in half in a dessert bowl, the dessert is considered a banana split.
Banana splits became so popular, that there was a television show for kids called, “The Banana Split Adventure Hour”. It aired from 1968-1970. I’m so ready to make a banana split for dessert tonight. And guess what? – Banana splits only have between 800 to 1500 calories. If that is the case, I will skip dinner and just eat the banana split.
Labor Day will be here in a little under two weeks. It is considered the last 3-day weekend of the summer. I hope you have plans to relax and enjoy it.
Hopefully, the fires will get under control and the smoke will be less. If that is the case, maybe you can get outside and do some clean up before the fall decorations go up.
Last Saturday and Sunday were sure nice. With the Delta breeze, most of the smoke cleared and the temperatures were down – almost fall weather. It’s about time for a change.
With that being said, there are 67 days until Halloween, 92 days until Thanksgiving, and that makes 121 shopping days until Christmas. You may want to take advantage of the Labor Day sales and start your shopping. Just a couple of hours during the Labor Day weekend may save you several hours of traffic and crowded stores in December. And you will have taken advantage of the bargains!
Flower of the day – Zinnias
Recipe of the day: Banana Splits
Dates to remember:
Sept. 6 – Labor Day
Sept. 11 – Patriots Day
Sept. 12 – National Grandparents Day
Sept. 14 – Election Day
Sept. 22 – Autumnal Equinox
Until next week – Be strong, be courageous and make a memory.


Mitch McConnell opened up about the Senate races in a brief interview with Manu Raju, a senior political reporter at CNN. During the exchange, he made it clear, he was not very optimistic that Donald Trump will help any candidate hoping to keep their seat.
While McConnell, the Majority Leader of the Senate, has timidly endorsed Mr. Trump, he has been forced to come out on numerous occasions to say he disagrees with the New York billionaire’s comments on the Khans, on banning Muslims, and on John McCain.
In order words, the two men have a rocky relationship, and the Kentucky Republican is always struggling whenever he has to talk about Trump. So, it is not very surprising that when asked what effect will Trump have on the Senate races, his answer was very confusing. He said:
“I don’t think we know that yet, I think we have to see where the presidential election goes.
“One of the good things about the Senate is the fact that the races are big enough to stand on their own, we have people, who will go out even in a presidential year and vote for a Senate candidate. These races are big, well funded and are individual pictures, individual contests that are being painted for senators in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Illinois.”
Mr. McConnell went on to say:
“I hope Donald Trump is winning in the fall, but I don’t think the Senate majority depends on him.”
McConnell claimed that the Republican Party will keep the Senate majority and predicted that Evan Bayh will lose in the red state of Indiana. Experts believe that Democrats have a real chance at taking back the Senate if there is an implosion of the Trump campaign in October.

Vets Put Big Barker to the Test
Dr. Kim Mayers, DVM, MS, CCRT, CVA
When Zeus, a 120 lb Shilo Shepherd, came to the Animal Therapy Center, he recently had surgery to repair a ruptured disc in his spine, and was suffering from bed sores on his elbow. See why Dr. Mayers immediately used a Big Barker bed as part of Zeus’ recovery process to heal his wounds and to protect his joints from further stress.

“I’ve been a veterinarian for 20 years, and I’ve never found a better bed or better product than the Big Barker… I have found this bed to be amazing. Not only is my own dog happy, but I can’t get him off this bed!”

Dr. Alison Birken, DVM
Many pet parents don’t realize that their dog’s bed has a tremendous impact on the dog’s quality of life. Thin, flimsy, flat beds cause pressure points that hurt tender joints making it hard to rest and harder to sleep soundly. Big Barker beds are specifically designed to eliminate pressure points and reduce pain, even in animals without any previously diagnosed joint issues.

Our patients with a history of joint or back pain have reported back to us better movement and an overall happier disposition since using Big Barker dog beds.

Big Barker beds have been very useful for postoperative patients, particularly dogs recovering from neurosurgical procedures who are often prone to developing serious bedsores.
Metropolitan Veterinary Associates - Valley Forge, PA
Dr. John Shonis, DVM
We have found Big Barker beds to be a useful addition to our laser therapy treatments. In the office, the bed helps the dog to be more comfortable--and quiet--during treatment. At home, a Big Barker bed helps a dog, particularly one in pain, to rest better and sleep more soundly.
Fishing Creek Veterinary Clinic - Stillwater, PA
Dr. Alison Trotta, DVM, CVA, CCRT
I highly recommend Big Barker beds. They are exceptionally well made, but most importantly, my own dogs love them.

Proper support and rest has been shown to improve and restore mobility in older dogs. The Big Barker helps provide the support needed to bring back some of the quality of life that's normally taken away through aging.

The pain experienced by big dogs with joint conditions is made worse by sleeping on unsupportive surfaces. The Big Barker has shown to reduce joint pain by eliminating the pressure points between the dog and the floor below, which makes for a happier and less painful life.

Joint problems and back pain are common ailments, especially in large breed dogs. We are finding dogs using a supportive mattress like the Big Barker have been exhibiting less symptoms of pain.

Conservative Party leadership candidate Dr. Leslyn Lewis has pledged to repeal Justin Trudeau’s gun ban. She was the first to make that pledge, beating out Erin O’Toole by a few minutes:
Here’s what Lewis said on Twitter:
“I believe in cracking down hard on smuggled firearms. I believe in empowering police forces to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. But cracking down on law-abiding citizens will do nothing to stop future mass shootings.”
As we know, the Liberal gun ban will only empower weapon smugglers and criminals, while failing to address gangs – the actual source of gun crime. That’s why it’s good to see Lewis take a stand and pledge to repeal it.
Here’s Lewis’ Full Statement:
“The Liberals are using the recent tragedy in Nova Scotia to ram through new gun regulations.
I can’t even explain how frustrating this is to see.
All our hearts go out to the victims and their families in Nova Scotia.
But cracking down on law-abiding citizens will do nothing to stop future mass shootings.
I believe in cracking down hard on smuggled firearms.
I believe in empowering police forces to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
I want to lead a government that respects legal gun owners in Canada, instead of one that treats gun owners with contempt and disrespect.
I promise to bring common sense back to Canada’s approach to firearms and review our firearms legislation to make it clear, practical and purposeful instead of adding more legislation to our already confusing laws.
I will do everything in my power to keep our communities safe. But this new Liberal ban does not do that. It should be repealed.”

AceShowbiz - Katy Perry delivered the first live performance of her new single "Chained to the Rhythm" at the 2017 Grammy Awards. Dressing in a white suit, she brought disco magic to the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles while getting political.
An avid supporter of Hillary Clinton during her presidential campaign, she wore an armband reading "Resist", likely expressing her protest against President Donald Trump. At the end of the performance, a graphic of the Constitution appeared behind her and she shouted, "No hate!" before leaving the stage.
Katy's performance was introduced by country group Little Big Town who covered a bit of her hit "Teenage Dream".
Katy was not the only superstar who stole the spotlight at the Sunday, February 12 ceremony. Beyonce Knowles delivered another highly-anticipated performance that night, delivering an epic medley of her "Lemonade" tracks.
Her mother Tina Knowles introduced the performance, saying, "I'm blessed to have daughters-wonderful daughters-all of whom make me proud with everything they do. All Grammy winners tonight, too-that's not on the script." She continued, "I am proud of their accomplishments, their self-confidence, and their desire to make a difference. "
"What makes me most proud-and why I'm here tonight to introduce Beyonce-is the devotion and love I see in her for her daughter and the way she has always expressed love to all of those around her. I believe she earned nine Grammy nominations for her 'Lemonade' album this year because of all of that and more. It's evident in her powerful words and music," she praised her daughter. "Ladies and gentlemen, with a mother's pride, my daughter: Beyonce."
During her set, a video montage of Beyonce baring her baby bump in a very revealing outfit while posing with her mother and daughter Blue Ivy was playing in the background. She appeared in a a floor-length gold, sheer belly-highlighting gown with matching headpiece.
"Do you remember being born? Are you thankful for the hips that cracked, the deep velvet of your mother and her mother and her mother? You look nothing like your mother; everything like your mother. You desperately want to look like her," the 35-year-old said. "Why are you afraid of love? You think it's not possible for someone like you, but you are the love of my life. The love of my life."
She moved gracefully through "Love Drought" while her dancers swayed onstage. She sat down on a reclined chair during her rendition of "Sandcastles" and ended the performance by reciting Shire line from her album, "If we're going to heal, let it be glorious/ One thousand girls raise their arms."

Thor’s Day Alert #24: New Tolkien book — THE LEGEND OF SIGURD AND GUDRUN
Happy Thor’s Day, everybody!
Exciting news: a previously unpublished work of J.R.R. Tolkien hits the stores on May 5th. Because so much has been written regarding the influence of Norse lore on Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, I’m astounded that his retelling of the Volsunga Saga (aka the Saga of the Volsungs) hasn’t been published prior.
[If Volsung sounds familiar but you’re drawing a blank, this is the legendary epic that includes Sigurd and the dragon Fafnir and, lo, a cursed golden ring. This is also the story upon which Richard Wagner based his Ring Cycle operas.]
Okay, so I’m actually more dumbfounded than astounded. For a guy like me who is endlessly fascinated by Scandivian lore, and who finds himself writing fantasy and drawing from the same deep well as Tolkien, hearing about THE LEGEND OF SIGURD AND GUDRUN feels downright mystical.
Seriously. How could such a famous tale retold by such a renown writer NOT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED BEFORE? Where has this manuscript been stashed for the last 70 or 80 years? The financial potential alone of such a piece pretty much precludes its moldering away somewhere; I gotta give it up to (I presume) Christopher Tolkien for safeguarding his father’s notes/drafts all this time.
No good segue here, but bear with me . . .
Also of recent interest to me is Tolkien’s apparent disdain for the German composer Richard Wagner. While I enjoy some of Wagner’s work, I share Tolkien’s opinion that he took unnecessary artistic liberties with the Volsunga Saga and Norse myth in general. In THE LEGEND OF SIGURD AND GUDRUN, I’m excited to see just how well Tolkien upholds the ancient “flavour” and “rootedness” of this tale — both of which qualities he strived to infuse in his own myth-building while writing The Lord of the Rings books, and both of which qualities I suspect he felt Wagner had hijacked for the benefit of German nationalism.
I note all this because Wagner isn’t the only artist/creator who hasn’t exactly given just treatment to Norse myth — I’ve yet to find a novel that pulls it off (which isn’t to say one doesn’t exist — I just haven’t found it), and comic books, well, I think it’s fair to say Tolkien would be shocked at some of the bastardizations that have been published.
In my next Thor’s Day post on May 7, I hope to borrow from writers more knowledgable than myself in order to cobble together some interesting observations that have been made regarding Tolkien and Norse myth.
Thanks for stopping by!

Customers who pay energy bills by cash or cheque are still being charged more than those paying by direct debit, claims a consumer group.
Consumer Focus said five out of six of the UK’s top energy suppliers are imposing higher charges despite energy regulator Ofgem introducing new guidelines to stop the practice.
The news comes in the same week as Which? revealed that the big six suppliers of gas and electricity – Npower, British Gas, EDF Energy, Eon Energy, Scottish Power and Scottish & Southern Energy – received some of the worst customer satisfaction scores Which? has seen across all industries this year.
Paying over the odds for energy
New Ofgem rules, brought in at the beginning of the month, were designed to reduce the difference between methods of payment.
Zoe McLeod, from Consumer Focus, told the BBC: ‘We do have concerns that despite the introduction of these licensing conditions, consumers who pay by cash or by cheque on receipt of their bills continue to pay over the odds.’
Mervyn Kohler, from Help the Aged, said: ‘It’s a minefield finding out what the different tariffs are and an awful lot of customers haven’t got the energy or technology to actually go and look for the best deals.’


Following the lead of lawmakers in Michigan, Mississippi and elsewhere, state Sen. Barrow Peacock, R-Bossier City, is pushing legislation that would establish new rules and penalties for "mass picketing."
In other states, unions are arguing that it's a clear attack on their rights to strike and protest. "I got the idea from the U.S. Chamber," Peacock told LaPolitics.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with local chambers in other states to push the concept, suggesting picketing can hurt companies if not controlled properly.
Peacock's SB 551 would prohibit picketing if it prevents a person from pursuing employment opportunities; interferes with business entrances or roadways; or takes place on private property without permission.
It would also increase fines and penalties from as much as $100 and 15 days in prison to $1,000 per day for individuals and $10,000 per day for labor organizations involved with the violations.
The bill is pending action before the Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee.
