Sergeant John Peck of the US Marine Corps has been through hell.
While serving in Iraq in 2007, a roadside bomb detonated under his vehicle, tossing him high into the air and onto his head on top of the gunner’s seat, resulting in a traumatic brain injury that left him with memory loss and problems with vision, balance and hearing.
Faced with a long road to recovery, most people probably would have taken the Purple Heart and an honorable discharge from the military and settled into the safety and comfort of civilian life, but not Sgt. Peck. He tackled rehab with one goal in mind: to be healthy enough to return to serving his country. With uncommon grit and determination, he eventually overcame his injuries and rejoined his brothers in arms for another tour of duty.
Then in May of 2010, Sgt. Peck stepped on an IED while serving again in Afghanistan. The resulting blast severed his arms and legs, making him a quadruple amputee (and one of only five service members to lose all his limbs in Afghan and Iraq wars).
Now a two-time Purple Heart recipient, Sgt. Peck has suffered more than any of us can imagine. There will be no return to duty for him, no return to a normal life, but there is still hope that medical advances can improve his quality of life. To that end, his close friend Brian “Lackey” Ugalde has been raising money to help get him the medical care he needs.
Brian tackled the Rugged Maniac course in Virginia two years ago to raise awareness of Sgt. Peck’s sacrifices and symbolize his struggles as a quadruple amputee by completing the entire course with his hands tied behind his back, a feat that would have been impossible without help from his friends and teammates Ryan Davis and Todd Thongthai. As Brian told us, “the discomfort and lack of independence was only temporary (about two and a half hours) while John has endured his struggles daily for the past four years and counting.”
Thanks to Brian’s efforts and the contributions of many (including Maniacs), we’re thrilled to learn that Sgt. Peck now has recently received a new pair of arms courtesy of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston! Check out this video overview of his incredible journey:
Although the operation itself was free, there are still numerous expenses Sgt. Peck is paying out of pocket, including travel and lodging expenses for an extended stay in Boston to monitor the transplant progress. His perseverance and strength is an uplifting example of what it means to overcome adversity and we encourage everyone to support his recovery in any way you can.

SEVERAL months ago I had the honour to draw your attention to the fact that the ever-increasing number of Polish Customs Inspectors was not compatible with the execution of their prescribed duties. Since the latest additions there are now well over 100 Polish Customs Inspectors in Danzig territory. Their behaviour, both in their official and their private life, has given rise to increasing complaint. The Danzig population, like the German population, in their local frontier intercourse feel themselves constantly offended by the way in which the Polish Customs officials perform their duty and by their behaviour in private life.
I have no fear that incidents on the part of the population might arise on that account. Still less is the safety of the Polish officials in any way endangered. I have therefore taken steps to ensure that they may, as hitherto, perform their duties absolutely safely and without hindrance. I believe, however, that ways and means must be found to eliminate the constant friction and tension.
For all these reasons I consider it necessary forthwith to restrict the activity of the Polish Customs Inspectors to a general supervision in conformity with the agreement. In particular, I must urge that their official activities be confined to the offices, and not performed outside of them. I can also no longer permit the Danzig Customs officials to take instructions, even in the form of suggestions, from the Polish Customs officials. I will, however, see that questions addressed to officials will be answered officially.
I have directed the President of the Customs Administration of the Free City to instruct his officials accordingly. I have the honour, Mr. Minister, to request you to inform your Government accordingly and to exert your influence towards meeting the wishes of the Danzig Government.
I avail myself of this opportunity to revert to our conversation of the 8th February last. At that time I explained to you, Mr. Minister, that I would give instructions to abstain for the present from swearing in the customs officials, and that, should the occasion arise, I would communicate with you before administering the oath.
I have the honour to inform you, with reference to the contents of my letter of the 3rd January last (pages 2 and 3), that I have now left it to the discretion of the Finance Department of the Senate to administer the oath to the customs officials if they regard it as desirable.
I have, &c.

Hey everybody! Statue of Liberty is back in Iowa and the Midwest for a short tour, and we’ve been having a blast. We left a dark and snow-covered Colorado early on a Thursday morning around 4am, with the thermometer reading a frosty five degrees. BRRR!! Not an ideal start for a tour. Driving out of the snow and into the sunrise, however, made it all worth it!
Since arriving in Iowa we’ve played shows in Des Moines and Ames, and we are looking forward to playing again this week in Dubuque (IA), and Galena (IL). We met up with some old friends and made some new at Smokey Row Coffee House, where we played on Thursday night. Then Friday and Saturday we played with our good and talented friends, Daniel and the Lion. Our shows at The Fremont and The Space for Ames were great–with more new friends and fans. Another a great touring band, Teenage Moods, joined us at The Space for Ames and it was a great night of music!
Coming up we’re getting a couple new songs ready for our Dubuque and Galena gigs. This week, we’re hosting an open mic on Wednesday night at The Cornerstone in Galena, then playing at Monks Kaffee Pub in Dubuque on Thursday night, and on Friday we’re going back to The Cornerstone for a show. If you can make it, we’d love to see you out there!
The rest of our time we’ll spend visiting some family and friends and getting a little R&R before heading back to the Rocky Mountains early next week. Thanks for reading and listening!

Enhance Your System With 4 GB of DDR1 SDRAM
Random access memory, also known as RAM, is the part of the computer that stores all the open programs and data for as long as your system is switched on. These 4 GB memory modules can be used to add to or upgrade the older RAM in your computer, so you can keep more programs open on your laptop or desktop at the same time.
What is DDR1 SDRAM?
There are two distinct aspects to DDR SDRAM. SDRAM, which stands for synchronous dynamic random-access memory, is specifically synchronized with the clock speed of the processor, thus improving the performance of the memory. DDR stands for double data rate. As the name implies, DDR essentially doubles the data bandwidth by transferring data on the rising and falling edge of the clock signal even when the actual frequency of the RAM is kept the same. DDR1 represents the first generation of DDR technology. The DDR SDRAM module itself can be identified by a number, such as DDR-200, DDR-333, and DDR-400, which signifies the data rate of the module.
What is the difference between DIMM and SO-DIMM?
DIMM, which stands for dual in-line memory module, is a type of memory interface that connects with the computers motherboard. It is primarily designed for desktop computers, workstations, and servers. As opposed to earlier single in-line modules, DIMMs have a 64-bit data path instead of just 32-bit. They also have separate connectors on both sides of the module. SO-DIMMs rely on a similar concept, but they are about half the size of regular DIMMs, making them useful for laptops and smaller computers.
What are some characteristics of RAM?
There are several important factors you should consider when deciding how much RAM to get:
- Memory capacity: 4 GB describes the amount of data that can be stored in the memory.
- Clock speed: A measure of the speed of the RAM module.
- Latency: The latency describes the delay time when the data in the memory is actually being accessed.
- Error correction: ECC, which stands for error-correcting code, can identify and fix different types of errors in the memory. If the module doesnt have error correction, then it will be labeled as non-ECC.
How do you determine the compatibility of different memory modules?
Some types of computer memory can be mixed and matched together. If two memory modules have different storage capacities, then they will work together. If the modules have different frequencies, they can sometimes be mixed together, but they will only operate at the frequency of the slower module. Different generations of DDR memory are not compatible with each other. The first-generation DDR cannot be matched with DDR2 or DDR3. You will need to match multiple first-generation DDR modules together. You will also need to ensure that the RAM is physically and electronically compatible with your motherboard in terms of the number of pins and the size of the card.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is investigating the death Friday of a 41-year-old man who reportedly entered the Arkansas River in an innertube near the Buena Vista whitewater park and a short time later was reported to be in obvious distress on the river.
Witnesses said the victim in the innertube was struggling to make it to the shore near Buena Vista South Main recreation area on the river. The victim was witnessed going through hydraulics in the river and appeared to be struggling.
The call for help came at 2:40 p.m., prompting immediate response from CPW’s Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area rangers along with the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office and Chaffee County Emergency Medical Services.
Witnesses said the victim struggled until becoming unresponsive and floating downstream.
A commercial rafting company based in Johnson Village, downstream from the incident, was notified. The staff quickly attached a rope to a company employee who entered the river when the victim was spotted approaching them. The staffer grabbed the victim and was pulled to safety by a shore-based rescuer.
“The Emergency Medical Services staff immediately began CPR on the victim, but resuscitation efforts were not successful,” said Tom Waters, AHRA park manager. “The victim was pronounced at the scene by emergency personnel.”
Waters said his staff and the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office were investigating the death.
“We extend our sympathies to the family and friends of the victim,” Waters said, noting the victim was wearing a properly sized and fitted personal flotation device as well as a full wetsuit.
He noted this tragedy illustrates the importance of being prepared for entering challenging whitewater conditions at the peak of spring run-off from snowmelt. And he urged the public to check conditions by calling the AHRA before entering the river or to use a commercial rafting company.
The body was turned over to the Chaffee County Coroner for an official determination of the cause of death and notification of relatives. Any further information about the victim will be released by the coroner.
This death is the 11th confirmed water-related death in Colorado in 2023. There is one additional presumed water-related death and one more unconfirmed death.

BWW Review: RTW's THE DROWNING GIRLS Drenches Three Women's Lives In Redemption
Three women--all seduced into marriage and relieved of their lives and fortunes--beautifully retell their rather unfortunate stories in Renaissance Theaterworks (RTW) The Drowning Girls on stage in the Studio Theatre. A play written by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomilnson and Daniela Vlaskalic, the play relates the true story of George Joseph Smith, a man who married three vulnerable maids during England's early 20th century and then immediately drowned them in their own bathtubs.
A trio of single women, Alice, Bessie and Margaret, rise from the depths of clean white, claw foot tubs surrounded by period wedding dresses and veils, symbols of purity and social acceptance in the early 20th century, 1911 to 1914 to be exact. Without a husband and family, single women of any age were shunned, then considered outcasts in society and often to their families. Marriage was the only way to be accepted into the culture and this serial killer Smith preyed on these cultural norms to entrap these women and whatever fortune was theirs. Since women were unable to own property or vote, any inheritance would revert to their husbands after their deaths.
The poetic play places these three women recalling their personal stories from their graves to reclaim their lives after the tragedies, offering them a chance to speak to what has occurred. Smith will be tried and eventually hung for the three drownings, the women vindicated after his trial. With an entire cast debuting at Renaissance in their season opener, a trio of actors typify women at different stages in their lives. Margaret, Marcee Doherty-Elst, views marriage as her last chance for happiness and acceptance, and the actor adds a worldly aura to this character. Susie Duecker captures the youthful exuberance in her adventure into being in love through Alice, marrying this man against her parents wishes. Alice's mother never saw her daughter alive after her marriage. Elyse Edelman's winsome persona in Bessie earnestly believes love and marriage will enrich her life despite the fact her husband leaves and returns after one year's absence.
Each women believed her happiness was secured after the marriage and acceptance into society assured, somewhat similar to how women today often dream of their future weddings, believing in an elusive true love and happy ever after marriage. Sarah E. Ross contains the beauty and innocence of these hopes and dreams on set with a visually stunning production placing the three women like three goddesses on stage in their tubs, or graves, the dresses similar to white burial shrouds. This set complements often lyrical language in describing these women's lives. Doherty-Elst, Duecker and Edelman traverse some difficult stage props moving in and out of these bathtubs with confidence and grace in long wedding gowns, complements of Costume Designer Kristine Sneshkoff, while often being drenched in water---a physically demanding 90 minute, no intermission performance while also conveying the tragedy to their stories.
Director Mallorey Metoxen coordinates these awe inspiring stage movements with chutzpah, an emotional and technically advanced production for a young director. Future performances in the run will be even more inspiring. As Associate Artistic Director for RTW, Metoxen follows in the footsteps of the company's legacy to present stories provoking contemporary consideration. Many older, single women, divorced, never married or widowed, especially of a certain age, can become invisible in today' culture. While stigmatized less than previously seen, their path still provides a more treacherous life when they continually remain prey to contractors and service men, schemers who seek to take advantage of their solo status. While this may save them their physical lives, their dignity and money are placed on the line despite any woman's best efforts to be aware of her current circumstances.
RTW presents a compelling and thought provoking play based on historical truths that connects to modern society--and the circumstances of all women throughout the world. While contemporary women may avoid being literally drowned, they can be murdered for honor or married at 13 for a dowry, or passed over in a career when choosing motherhood. Women today drown in lower wages, poorer maternal mortality, less retirement funds and ancient stereotypes when married, and especially if single. Through this evocative and powerful, even if chilling portrait of three women from the past, Renaissance proves to their audiences women refuse to succumb to society's so called standard cultural norms, whether sexually harassed, as recently seen in the news, or merely hitting those glass ceilings. Similar to Alice, Bessie and Margaret, women will rise to claim their own stories to tell for future generations and redeem themselves.
Renaissance Theaterworks presents The Drowning Girls in the Studio Theatre at the Broadway Theatre Center through November 13.

Danielle Harris Teases the Future of the Hatchet Franchise
The actress says two more movies are being planned.
By Chris Morse
Update 10/17: Adam Green has taken to social media to clear the air a bit. Although Danielle Harris' words should not be taken in a context that implies such new Hatchet projects are actively being worked on (they're not), the filmmaker informed fans that no new movies in this franchise are on the way in the near future. It could happen somewhere down the line, but nothing is being planned at this time. Other ideas are currently being worked on!
There's no doubt Danielle Harris has made a mark in the horror world, from her earlier roles in the Halloween franchise to more recent work in the Hatchet series, but it's the latter property the actress recently sparked some buzz about with some comments made at Monster Mania 44 earlier this month.
Speaking during the convention's Halloween reunion panel, the actress mentioned Adam Green's slasher franchise and revealed that there are supposed to be two more movies in the series. The last we've seen on that front was 2017's Victor Crowley, but it would appear more films are on the way eventually.
“There’s supposed to be two more,” said Harris. “I know the rumor Adam told me is they’re going to shoot them at the same time. I have not read a script or done anything, I just know that he always makes me do really stupid shit. And a lot of it. So hopefully I’m not going to be handcuffed an entire movie this time, or covered in… It’s completely insane, what he has me do. But I know there’s supposed to be two more, which is great.”
Adam Green has previously only hinted at the possibility of more Hatchet movies, but has yet to formally announce any sort of follow-up to Victor Crowley. However, this particular revelation offers a little insight into the early planning stages of this, so two more movies are definitely a possibility.
We'll definitely have more news on the Hatchet franchise at some point in the future, so be sure to follow Dead Entertainment and stay caught up on all the latest. In the meantime, you can check out a video of the reunion panel featuring Harris and others just below.

Quoting unnamed sources, the article says the mini has been “sized out of its own category” and has seen ever-decreasing sales. It’s uncertain if Apple plans to continue selling the iPad mini for a period of time without further updates, or if it will pull the device at some point in the near future.
The first generation iPad mini was announced on Oct. 23, 2012, and was released on Nov. 2, 2012. The second generation model, with a faster processor and retina display, was announced Oct. 22, 2013, and released on Nov. 12, 2013. The third generation iPad mini was announced on Oct. 16, 2014, and released on Oct. 22, 2014. The The iPad mini 4 was announced during the "Hey Siri" Apple Special Event on Sept. 9, 2015, alongside other new or refreshed products, including the iPad Pro, the iPhone 6s and the Apple TV.
The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) expects the mini to be phased out with the plainly named iPad introduced in March taking its place in the Apple line-up.

Frequently asked questions
BY EXECUTIVE MEDICINE
For anything else, please get in touch.
Where are you?
We’re inside the Grace Hotel – 77 York Street. Once you enter the hotel lobby, turn left and take the lift or stairs to level 1.
Do you have parking?
The Grace Hotel has a car park – entrance 124 Clarence Street. You can take the lift or stairs from the basement directly to our clinic on level 1. For their fees please see: https://www.gracehotel.com.au/parking
Do you see non-corporate patients?
Absolutely. Around half of our clients are individuals who just care about their health and visit us privately on an annual basis.
What’s the difference between you and a GP clinic?
The average GP will spend 15 minutes with you, if you’re lucky, often leaving you feeling rushed and unsatisfied at the end of the short session. At Executive Medicine, we spend a minimum of one hour (up to two and a half hours) with you to really thoroughly examine and address all of your concerns and potential problems. We take the time to get to know you, and are invested in helping you get healthier.
What’s the difference between you and your competitors?
One of our biggest differences is that we care and want to help. We offer recurring medical appointments throughout the year – as needed. We will work with you throughout the year as frequently as necessary to: be there when you become unexpectedly unwell, when you need your family seen, to check in on your stress levels and assist if you are going through a tough time; work with you to reduce your illness risk factors e.g. high blood pressure or cholesterol. That way we both ensure you are in optimal health.
What’s the cost of your services?
Our costs are very competitive and less than your annual car service. Give us a call for more info.
What cardiovascular screening do you do?
The Coronary Risk and Heart Evaluation includes conducting a resting ECG, exercise stress test (treadmill or bike), as well as analysing your height, weight, waist/hip ratio, body composition and fat measurement, blood pressure and resting heart rate.
What cancer screening do you do?
Blood testing, breast screening and HPV and PAP testing for women, skin dermatoscopy testing for melanoma and skin cancers, prostate check for males over 45, bowel cancer screening as indicated. The Lumify ultrasound can also identify abnormalities with the internal organs.
Why should I get an annual health assessment?
Most early (curable) cancers don’t give symptoms, and two thirds of men and one half of women don’t get any warning symptoms before their heart attack or stroke. 12 months is about the correct timeline to pick up diseases before they become too advanced. More than 12 months is just too long if you have develop a problem that you are not aware of e.g. early prostate or breast cancer, or coronary artery disease.
How much can I claim from Medicare?
Medicare rebates vary from $80 to $250, dependent on the service and other factors.
What’s your cancellation policy?
If your appointment is cancelled or rescheduled within four working days of the scheduled date, this incurs a fee of 50% of the service cost, Whilst we try our best to avoid having to charge a cancellation fee, we cannot fill appointments slots with little notice, and of course we still have to pay our costs incurred.
How much does my health fund pay?
Sadly private health doesn’t cover prevention and screening.
Can I send my family and friends?
Yes! We are always very happy to receive referrals from our valued clients.

Blink-182 Achieves Its Highest Alternative Songs Debut Ever With 'Bored to Death'
The band's new song launches at No. 18 on the airplay chart.
If you're going to come back almost five years after your last album, you'd better do it big. Luckily, Blink-182 seem poised to do just that.
"Bored to Death," the new single from the venerable alt-rockers, bounds in at No. 15 on Billboard's Rock Airplay chart with 4.6 million in airplay audience, according to Nielsen Music, and No. 18 on both the Alternative Songs airplay chart and the airplay/sales/streaming-based Hot Rock Songs ranking.
The track is the trio's first since guitarist/singer Tom DeLonge was replaced by Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba in early 2015.
All three chart positions mark the highest debuts on each tally in the band's two-decade career. On Alternative Songs (the only chart of the three that predates Blink-182's first album, Cheshire Cat, in 1995), the No. 18 opening of "Bored" bests the band's previous top entrances of No. 25 logged by "First Date" in 2002 and "Up All Night" in 2011. (Those songs went on to peak at Nos. 6 and 3, respectively.)
The new song's hot start also marks the highest debut on both Alternative Songs and Rock Airplay in 2016. Previously, this year's best bows belonged to KONGOS, whose "Take It From Me" began at No. 24 on Alternative Songs (May 7), and twenty one pilots, whose "Ride" represented the year's highest debut on Rock Airplay (No. 30, Jan. 30).
The last time a song debuted as high as "Bored" on Alternative Songs? Beck's "Dreams," at No. 13 on July 4, 2015.
Notably, "Dreams" first received airplay on June 14, 2015, a Sunday, while "Bored" arrived April 27, a Wednesday. As the radio chart tracking week runs Monday through Sunday, the former track, thus, debuted with a full seven days of airplay (June 15-21), while the latter enters with less than four full days. Analyzing more deeply, it may now be harder for songs to debut as high on airplay charts as before July 10, 2015, when the new Friday global release date for albums and singles took effect. Previously, new songs often premiered on Mondays (and albums on Tuesdays), thus ensuring a full first week of play for songs on airplay charts (again, as airplay chart tracking covers Monday-Sunday); now, songs and albums often premiere on Fridays, which keeps them from logging a full first week of spins on airplay charts. The tradeoff is that they can accumulate a full seven days of sales and streaming, as sales and streaming charts run Monday-Sunday.
Speaking of sales, "Bored" also debuts at Nos. 10 and 15 on Alternative Digital Songs and Rock Digital Songs, respectively, with 12,000 downloads sold.
California, Blink-182's seventh studio album and first without DeLonge, is due July 1. DeLonge, meanwhile, continues to perform with his other band, Angels & Airwaves.

Here is a great recipe that can be made in less than an hour. Packs tons of nutrients and flavour! Great as a snack or add an egg or another protein to make it a complete meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The yam wedges are special because they are cooked without oil. This means extra healthy fats can be added to the mash. Healthy fats are great for us but fats generally don't handle heat well, so when we can avoid them in this context, it's a bonus.
Avocado and Pea Mash
ingredients: (can double the recipe if required)
1/2 cup frozen peas
a few sprigs of mint
small bunch cilantro
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
optional: extra greens- spinach works well - add a handle.
combine all ingredients in a bowl and whizz with a hand blender (or use food processor). Top with a little extra olive oil, if desired
Crispy yam wedges
1 large yam - chopped into wedges
spice blend: 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp powdered garlic, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp oregano, salt and pepper
boil water in large pot, set yams in steamer and steam for ~ 7 minutes until slightly soft. In the meantime, set oven to 425 degrees. Once steamed, set yams on baking tray and thoroughly coat with spices. Bake for 25-30 minutes - depending how crispy you like them.

Super moist and buttery gluten free skillet cornbread that’s naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and made with just 10 simple ingredients. With crisp golden brown edges and the perfect tender crumb, this cornbread recipe will be your new go-to side dish for any meal.
(links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free 1:1 flour
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free cornmeal
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 3/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 3/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 3/4 cup Mariani Original Walnutmilk (or any milk you prefer), room temperature
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add butter to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place in the oven. Allow the butter to melt until lightly browned, about 11 to 13 minutes. Keep an eye on the butter to make sure it doesn’t burn. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, then carefully swirl the melted butter to coat the edges of the skillet. Set aside.
While the butter melts, prepare the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate medium-size bowl, whisk together the eggs and maple syrup. Add the sour cream and milk, whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir until just combined.
Pour batter evenly into the skillet. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Remove skillet from oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.
Keywords: gluten free cornbread, cast iron skillet cornbread, skillet cornbread

Court of Claims Approves $2 Million Settlement for Columbus Construction Contractor
The Ohio School Facilities Commission and a project architect will pay a Columbus construction contractor upwards of $2 million to settle breach of contract claims related to building dormitories at the Ohio State School for the Blind and the Ohio School for the Deaf. The Court of Claims of Ohio approved the settlement agreement on Aug. 2.
According to a 2013 complaint, TransAmerica Building Company Inc. claimed its work was “continually delayed and disrupted by the OSFC (now known as the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission) and those under its control” and cited misrepresentations “regarding the approval and inspection process of the plans and specifications.” TransAmerica also claimed in the complaint that its requests to build in more time to account for the delays were ignored or denied and that it incurred extra work beyond the scope of the contract.
TransAmerica originally requested its unpaid contract balance of $824,605.42, plus at least $3 million in damages. It bid $3,975,000 on the project in 2010, with a completion date of Jan. 18, 2012.
Under the terms of the agreement, TransAmerica will receive $2,036,770.80, plus $151.02 a day in interest from Jan. 1, 2016, going forward until paid. Steed Hammond Paul Inc., the project architect, must pay $971,700 of the total. The Commission is on the hook if Steed Hammond does not pay. The Court of Claims retained jurisdiction to enforce the agreement if TransAmerica does not receive payment within 90 days.
The Court of Claims is given original jurisdiction to hear and determine all civil actions filed against the State of Ohio and its agencies.

Where to Stay in Tokyo !!! The Westin Tokyo in Ebisu
Hotel Name: The Westin Tokyo
Location: Ebisu, Tokyo (please refer to the map below for details)
Accommodation Type: Hotel
Published Price Per Night: Rooms starting at 27,000 JPY or $238 USD (currency exchange subject to fluctuation)
Accessibility: By car, shuttle or public transportation
Last Visit: February 2017
That Food Cray !!! was a guest of The Westin Tokyo with complimentary stay.
The Westin Tokyo
I’m obsessed with Tokyo! I try to make a trip out to Japan’s capital city at least twice a year, just to eat and shop! This was my first time staying in Ebisu at The Westin Tokyo. Ebisu is a major district of Shibuya-ku, conveniently located just one stop from Shibuya Station. Ebisu is also close to the city’s trendier districts such as Daikanyama, Naka Meguro, Shibuya, Shinjuku, and more. The shopping and restaurants in the area are amazing, which is one of the reasons why I loved staying at the Westin Tokyo. The Westin Tokyo is actually located in the quieter upscale part of Ebisu, in an area called Yebisu. The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from JR Ebisu station and fairly easy to get to from Haneda airport.
Rooms & Suites
We stayed in one of the Westin’s Executive Club Rooms on the 18th floor, with the city’s concrete jungle and Mount Fuji as the backdrop. The Westin Tokyo’s rooms are massive in comparison to some of the hotels I’ve stayed at in Japan, spread across 452-square-feet. The hotel’s decor gives off a classic European vibe, furnished with an aptly named Westin Heavenly Bed®, a full-sized bathtub, and rain shower. The room was also equipped with its own Nespresso machine, 26-inch LCD Flat Panel television, a humidifier/air purifier, along with everything necessary to work abroad.
Consisting of 438 rooms, The Westin Tokyo’s rooms all have standard amenities as well shared spaces such as a 24-hour gym and the La Spa Parisien. The WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment including cardio and weight resistance machines, free weights, and core strengthening equipment. The La Spa Parisien is a European-inspired spa offering body treatments, facials, and more. If you’re an SPG Member, you can also enjoy the exclusive SPG guest services at The Westin Executive Club Lounge, such as light refreshments, afternoon tea, pre-dinner drinks, and hors d’oeurves, located on the 17th floor.
There are a plethora of food options at The Westin Tokyo, with five restaurants and three bars. Choose from French cuisine at Victor’s, Teppanyaki at Yebisu, Ryutenmon’s Cantonese cuisine, traditional Japanese food at Mai, or a taste of the world at The Terrace International buffet restaurant. We enjoyed two lovely Japanese meals at The Westin’s Yebisu and Mai. Yebisu’s Teppanyaki grill was my preferred choice, serving perfectly grilled fresh Hokkaido scallops and beautifully marbled A4 Japanese Wagyu sirloin.
Activities in the Area
Shibuya: The Westin Tokyo is only one stop away from the city’s photogenic Shibuya district, where the Shibuya Crossing is located. You’ll find a ton of shopping, nightlife, food and more, all in this area.
Harajuku: Another one of Tokyo’s tourist attractions, just two stops from Ebisu station on the JR line. This area is good for streetwear and vintage shopping.
Omotesando/Aoyama: More shopping! This area is higher end, but it’s one of my favorites.
Daikanyama/Naka Meguro: I love this area! I could spend an entire day here. Naka Meguro has little shops along the river and cute cafes. Daikanyama is another great shopping district as well.
Koenji: This is my new favorite district! The vintage shopping here is next level and super affordable.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 10 — the company’s latest answer to the iPhone XS Max — just leaked out ahead of its official unveiling in August.
New photos reveal the flagship version of the phablet in the wild for the first time. It sports a giant, edge-to-edge display, as expected. But it’s not just a larger version of the Galaxy S10.
Samsung already promised that its new Note 10 lineup won’t be affected by the ongoing Galaxy Fold delay. So, we’re still expecting to see it in August, and the first evidence of an imminent debut has now surfaced.
Photos of a Note 10+ — the high-end version of the Note 10 — published online give us a glimpse of the new design. While not the best images, unfortunately, they do give us an early taste of what Samsung has up its sleeve.
Note 10+ ditches depth sensor for smaller cutout
The Note 10+ looks to have an edge-to-edge, hole-punch display. That means that, like the Galaxy S10, it has a cutout for its front-facing camera — not a notch. The cutout is centered this time, and it’s smaller than that on the S10+.
That’s because Samsung appears to have done away with a front-facing depth sensor. The upcoming design also places the tiny, front-facing speaker between the display and the device’s frame so it doesn’t encroach on the screen.
Images of the back of the device show rear-facing cameras arranged vertically, like those on the iPhone XS Max, rather than horizontally, like those on the S10 and S10+.
What about the design?
Sadly, the images aren’t too sharp and are badly lit, so we can’t tell what the Note 10+ will actually look like. But we expect its exterior to be similar to that of other Samsung flagships, with curved glass panels front and back.
The images also don’t make it any clearer whether the Note 10 lineup will come with a headphone jack or microSD card slot. Recent rumors suggest Samsung will do away with those this year.
Ready to battle iPhone XS Max
The Note series consists of Samsung’s largest flagships, and typically competes with the iPhone XS Max. Its lack of a notch may convince some Apple fans to make the switch. However, Android vendors still find it difficult to match Face ID.
We’ll have to wait and see whether the Note 10 offers a compelling alternative to the XS Max when it debuts.

Ever since he burst onto the dance-music world in 1997 with his first hit single, “Musica Electrica/Rumore Chimico,” under his alter ego Alma Matris, he has been a force to be reckoned with, on the dance floor and on the music charts. The song was later re-released by New York-based *69 Records, projecting Giangi among the tribal heavyweights of the world.
The follow-up single, “Rapido,” took exactly one week to dance charts worldwide.
Gigs at major dance floors soon followed, and it wasn’t long before Cappai was one of the major DJs on the dance circuit.
He has been the column of Rapido Amsterdam sexy sound since start for 8 long years, he has headlined in U.S at the Winter Music Conference, Winter party, Alegria and many others parties, no wonder, since his remixes of tons of tracks, not to mention official remixes of songs for artists like Madonna, Inaya Day, Martha Wash, have made him the DJ’s DJ — the one whose songs are spun when everyone are spinning
The secret sauce that inflames Cappai’s music in the studio and on the dance floor is a darker, heavier version of Techno/Tribal House.
This is one DJ/producer who knows how to use the minor key! Although some declare him the “embodiment of the darkest tribal vibe,” that’s not really fair: In truth, he knows how to give up driving beats and take dancers to a whole other level — dare I saw a plain of existence? It may be a darker space, but damn, is it sexy, yess… whatever he does, he keeps it dark and sexy!!
Before listening to him at Rapido 10 years Celebration Weekend in Amsterdam, discover in this special podcast Giangi registered for GUSMEN afficionados his best vibes of the moment.
Enjoy and share it!

Are you ready for spring? Ready for fresh florals, lace, silks that adorn dresses, skirts and even your pants? Well today, I am exciting to share with you, your exclusive first look at the latest from Atlanta-based, contemporary plus size designer, Jibri! Known for her whimsical, elevated, and polished style, designer Jasmine Elder gives us spring, as only Jibri can!
If you know anything about Jasmine elder and the Jibri Collection, then you know that she loves a statement and gives us creativity, editorial, and a fashion perspective. She pushes the envelope and makes you cuss sometime- or is this just me? Ha! Any who. I asked her to share her inspiration about the collection and here is what she shared with me:
“Have you ever had a dress that made you feel so sexy you just couldn’t control your hip sway? If not… grab a piece from this collection. I combined my signature silhouettes with vibrant candy colors, bold prints, and spring design twists to create a wild hair, pouty lip, ‘watch-me-walk-away’ kind of collection.”
I am here for a “watch-me-walk-away” kind of collection. Yes. I already see myself switching the little hips that I do have, head held high, owning life! But guess what!?! Her collection launches later today, and I am sharing with you first look! Are you ready?

Ace, May 2002, 22.95, 366 pp.
Rome and Carthage went to war three times with Rome defeating her enemy the first and third time but in the second Punic war, the armies led by Hannibal won heavy victories against her enemy. Rome had to rebuild her army to finally crush Carthage. On an alternate Earth, in the second Punic war, Carthage is poised at the gates of the city of Rome, ready to destroy the city if the Romans don't surrender.
Click here to see the rest of this review
When a party of Romans go out to negotiate with Hannibal, he gives them a chance to survive if they accept exile. The people vote to acquiesce to the Carthaginian terms, but vow to return one day to reclaim their land and beloved city. One hundred and fifteen years later, the exiles have created another mighty empire called Rome Norricum and are ready to fight Carthage one more. They send out a small war party disguised as a trade expedition to see what they will have to face when they try to reclaim what was once was theirs.
John Maddox Roberts, the author of the historical series SPQR, has written a fascinating alternate history novel in which the exiled Romans conquer the land around the Danube River. The reader is immersed in the culture of Rome as seen through the eyes of Tribune commander Marcus Scipo. Marcus, the hero of this novel, is a very sensitive man in touch with his feelings and he is the reason readers will want to read the next book in the series.

OTC Clear starts offering clearing services for HONIA-based IRS contracts
The Hong Kong Dollar Overnight Index Average (HONIA) reference rate is the alternative to the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR).
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) today announces that that its central counterparty (CCP) subsidiary, OTC Clearing Hong Kong Limited (OTC Clear), has become the first clearing house to offer clearing services of Hong Kong Dollar Interest Rate Swap (IRS) contracts benchmarked to the Hong Kong Dollar Overnight Index Average (HONIA) reference rate.
This first centrally cleared HONIA IRS contract was between Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited (BOCHK) and the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. HONIA is the alternative reference rate to the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR).
Last year, the Treasury Markets Association last year identified HONIA as the alternative reference rate to HIBOR, as part of an interest rate benchmark reform. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has been encouraging more HONIA-based products be introduced in the market. There is, however, no current plans for HIBOR to be decommissioned. To support the development of the HONIA market, OTC Clear has developed a proxy methodology that simulates a HONIA curve, helping to provide greater transparency to market participants.

The aerospace industry is one of the most demanding and technologically advanced sectors in the world. Precision and reliability are paramount, and every component used in an aircraft or spacecraft must meet strict quality and performance standards. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining plays a crucial role in manufacturing aerospace components, and the integration of advanced sensors into CNC machines has revolutionized the way aerospace manufacturers ensure the quality and accuracy of their products. In this article, we will explore the importance of CNC machining sensors in aerospace applications and how they are changing the game.
The Critical Role of CNC Machining in Aerospace
CNC machining is a manufacturing process that involves the use of computer-controlled machines to cut, shape, and assemble parts and components with unparalleled precision. In aerospace manufacturing, where even the smallest imperfections can have catastrophic consequences, CNC machining is the go-to method for producing parts that meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
From aircraft frames to engine components and intricate cabin interiors, CNC machines are used extensively in the aerospace industry. These machines can work with a variety of materials, including aluminum, titanium, and composite materials, enabling the production of lightweight yet robust parts that are essential for modern aircraft and spacecraft.
The Challenge of Precision in Aerospace
Aerospace components demand an extraordinary level of precision. Tolerances measured in microns can be the difference between a safe CNC sensors and a catastrophic failure. Achieving such precision requires not only advanced machinery but also a constant monitoring and feedback system to ensure that every cut and movement meets the specified criteria.
Enter CNC Machining Sensors
CNC machining sensors are the game-changers in aerospace manufacturing. These sensors are integrated into CNC machines to monitor various aspects of the machining process in real-time. They provide critical data and feedback that enable manufacturers to make immediate adjustments and ensure that the finished components meet the required specifications. Let’s explore some of the key types of CNC machining sensors used in aerospace applications:
1. Tool Wear Sensors
Tool wear sensors monitor the condition of cutting tools during the machining process. They measure parameters such as tool temperature, vibration, and wear rate. By tracking the wear and condition of cutting tools, manufacturers can replace them at the right time, preventing defects and ensuring the desired precision.
2. Positional Sensors
Positional sensors track the movement and position of the machining tool and workpiece. These sensors can detect any deviations from the programmed path, helping to prevent errors in the final product.
3. Force Sensors
Force sensors measure the forces acting on the tool and workpiece during machining. They ensure that the right amount of force is applied, preventing excessive stress on the materials and ensuring the final product’s structural integrity.
4. Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors monitor the temperature of the machining process. Aerospace materials can be sensitive to temperature changes, and these sensors help maintain the ideal temperature range for machining, preventing thermal distortions in the components.
Benefits of CNC Machining Sensors in Aerospace
The integration of sensors into CNC machines offers several key benefits for aerospace manufacturers:
1. Enhanced Quality Control: Sensors provide real-time data, enabling manufacturers to identify and rectify issues during the machining process, leading to higher-quality components.
2. Reduced Scrap and Rework: With sensors in place, the likelihood of producing defective parts is significantly reduced, resulting in less waste and lower production costs.
3. Increased Efficiency: Sensors optimize machining parameters, reducing cycle times and improving overall efficiency in the manufacturing process.
4. Improved Safety: Real-time monitoring of machining processes enhances safety by reducing the risk of accidents and equipment damage.
5. Cost Savings: By preventing errors and optimizing processes, CNC machining sensors ultimately save aerospace manufacturers money in the long run.
In the aerospace industry, precision is non-negotiable. CNC machining sensors have become indispensable tools for achieving and maintaining the high standards required in this sector. These sensors offer real-time monitoring and feedback, allowing manufacturers to produce components that are not only incredibly precise but also safer and more cost-effective. As aerospace technology continues to evolve, the integration of advanced sensors into CNC machines will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of aerospace manufacturing.

The Daily Telegraph - Saturday, 22 February 2003 - Property
The South-East has to find space for 200,000 new homes
John Prescott has finally decided where but who will tell us how? More homes - and more misery.
Report by Ross Clark
What exactly did Mr Prescott announce?
John Prescott: he has set a target for 200,000 new homes.
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister sets targets for the number of homes it wants to see built in each region of the country by a specific date. Under a guidance note he issued two years ago, local authorities in London and the South-East are already committed to allow the building of 62,000 new homes a year for the next 20 years. This target has now been increased by a further 10,000 new homes a year. The implication is that instead of having to absorb 1.24 million houses over the next 20 years, the South-East will have to absorb 1.44 million. That is the equivalent of about 30 Oxfords or 20 Brightons.
Will it stop there?
No. Besides demanding an extra 200,000 homes within the next 20 years, Mr Prescott made some vaguer, but even more dramatic, projections up until 2031.
Between now and then, he says, Milton Keynes and the south Midlands could absorb a total of 370,000 new homes. Ashford could have 31,000 new homes and the London-Stansted-Cambridge corridor could have between 250,000 and 500,000. No corresponding figure was given for the Thames Estuary, but that is supposed to be the biggest expansion zone of all.
Why so many houses?
For a start, there will be more of us in 20 years. Common wisdom holds that the population of the UK has settled down from the explosion seen during the 19th and early 20th centuries and is now barely growing. This isn't quite true. Although the current rate of increase - 0.3 per cent a year - sounds paltry, over 20 years this works out as an extra four million people. It may even be more if the rate of increase in immigration is allowed to continue. Ten years ago, more people left the UK than moved here. Now, there is substantial net immigration, not just because of the rise in asylum applications but because of foreign workers moving to Britain to take up jobs.
Even without population growth, the demand for new homes is set to rise substantially. The fragmentation of the family and the greater aspirations of the young mean more and more of us are living alone. The demand for second homes, too, contributes to the need for new housing.
To add to this, there is a strong inward migration from the North to the South-East - between 1991 and 2000, the population of the South-East grew by 5.7 per cent, compared with 3.7 per cent for the UK as a whole. By contrast, the population of the North-East is contracting. There was a time when the Government tried to reverse the flow by handing out cash to firms prepared to relocate to the regions. In announcing the extra homes, Mr Prescott seems to have admitted defeat and accepted he cannot order where people and businesses should locate.
Will the extra homes actually materialise?
Certainly not, at current rates of housebuilding. At present, developers are only managing to build 82 per cent of the new homes in the South-East decreed by central government. Developers are not known for voluntarily holding back their JCBs, especially not in the midst of a property boom, but there are good reasons why housebuilders are not reaching their targets. Planning restrictions have never been tighter and there are considerable delays in obtaining planning permission, even for large developers armed with lobbyists and lawyers. In particular, development has been slowed by Mr Prescott's own demand that 60 per cent of new homes be built on brownfield land. Many brownfield sites are badly contaminated and it takes time and money to clean them up.
Why concentrate development in four growth areas?
By designating four big growth areas, Mr Prescott is hoping to speed up the building of new homes. It means fewer public inquiries and fewer constituencies affected. What Mr Prescott is proposing is a return to the big-planning thinking of the post-war era, when house-building was concentrated in new towns. What Mr Prescott hasn't yet said, but may well secretly be planning, is to reintroduce the practice of creating new towns through compulsory-purchase. When the new towns were built between the 1940s and 1970s, the required tracts of land were bought by the Government at agricultural value: in other words, landowners did not receive a windfall as they do in most cases when their land receives planning permission. During the Thatcher years, compulsory-purchase powers were rarely used for house-building and, as a result, development was diffused on to smaller sites.
Ominously for landowners hoping to make a mint from the house-building bonanza, Mr Prescott is also pushing through Parliament a bill to make compulsory purchase easier and he has allotted £600 million towards "site assembly in growth areas".
Why these growth areas in particular?
The Thames estuary is an obvious choice. There is an ongoing supply of brownfield land along both the Essex and Kent flanks of the Thames as the heavy industries which used to line the river contract. The zone of expansion now known as Thames Gateway was, in fact, first proposed by Michael Heseltine in his second spell as environment secretary in the early 1990s. Ashford, too, was earmarked for large-scale expansion more than a decade ago, thanks to its strategic location on the Channel Tunnel Rail link.
Milton Keynes has not quite yet reached the target of 250,000 inhabitants set when the one-time village was designated a new town in 1972. The expansion will not be limited to Milton Keynes, however: Mr Prescott spoke of a "South Midlands" growth area which would encompass Luton, Dunstable, Bedford, Northampton, Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby. The latter in particular has a large number of brownfield sites following the decline of the steel industry. All bar Northampton and Milton Keynes lie on the relatively under-used Midland mainline railway. The countryside around the towns is not the best and expansion here is relatively uncontroversial.
The only growth zone which is new to the planners' map is the "London-Stansted-Cambridge" corridor. Part of this zone lies within the green belt and much of it is largely unspoilt Essex countryside. With its booming technological industries, Cambridge is in dire need of more housing, but it is one of the few cities outside London to have its own green belt. Mr Prescott can expect considerable opposition.
What are these growth areas going to be like?
Unless there is a dramatic shift in transport policy, they are going to have a very under-developed transport system. There are plans for vast airport expansion at Stansted and/or at Cliffe in the Thames Estuary, but there aren't many people who go to work by plane. Network Rail and the Strategic Rail Authority have retracted plans for more rail capacity, and the Government is very reluctant to build roads - in the South-East, at least. Expect an extra lane on the M11, a bit more dual carriageway along the A414 and A120 to become a makeshift outer M25. Otherwise it is likely to mean a lot more congestion.
Life is likely to be a bit congested inside the new homes, too. Mr Prescott has ruled that houses must be built to much greater densities - at least 20 to the acre. This means fewer three- and four-bedroom homes and many more one- and two-bedroom flats. Unfortunately, the tastes of the home-buying public are moving in exactly the opposite direction: most want a detached house or bungalow with a good garden. To judge by previous experience, childless couples on dual incomes will outbid young families for the few four-bedroom houses.
On the bright side, if young couples can't afford the space to breed, it might cut the birth rate and reduce the need for even more houses.
What will it mean for house prices?
If the drift from North-East to South-East continues, there is little danger that the supply of housing will increase at such a rate as to cause the puffed-up property market to collapse. That is not to say that the speculative bubble in property witnessed over the past few years will not collapse of its own accord, however. A slump in the property market could slow housebuilding, already at its lowest since 1924, even further, scuppering Mr Prescott's plans.
Who is going to live in these new houses?
"I want to make it absolutely clear that this is not homes everywhere and anywhere," said Mr Prescott. "This is homes and sustainable communities. Not suburban sprawl. Not soulless estates. Not dormitory towns."
New houses: building further away from the city
He'll be lucky. The post-war new towns were conceived in much the same way: they were supposed to operate as self-contained communities, unlike the commuter-land ribbon developments which had occurred along the arterial roads during the 1920s and 1930s. However, over time, the new towns have themselves become absorbed into commuterland. A quarter of the workforce in Hertfordshire and south Essex commutes to London. The only difference between life in post-war new town and life in a 1930s London suburb is that, thanks to the 10 to 15 mile-wide green belt, commuters have to travel considerably further to work.
Is there anywhere else Mr Prescott could build?
All the proposed growth zones lie to the north, east and south-east of London. No expansion has been suggested to the west and south of London, in Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire or Sussex. Yet it is in these areas, to judge by property prices, that housing is in greatest shortage. To the south-west of London average house prices are currently more than seven times local salaries. In the south Midlands and the Thames estuary, prices are more in the order of four times earnings. Mr Prescott wants to put his new houses, in other words, in the places people seem least keen to live. But there is a good reason for this. There are more environmentally sensitive areas and areas of outstanding natural beauty to the south of London.
Besides, nimbyism is strongest in Surrey.
Has Mr Prescott thought his plans through?
He has already run into trouble with the Environment Agency, which says his plans for the Thames Estuary will require £4 billion in new flood defence work. The deputy Prime Minister does not appear to have budgeted for this and the housebuilders say they won't be paying the bill.
More homes - and more misery
More homes could mean more business for Bruce Munro, who lives in Thaxted and runs an estate agency there and in Saffron Walden. But that doesn't mean he is happy about Mr Prescott's plans.
"This is the last unspoilt place in a thoroughly ravaged county," he says. "They are already building thousands of new homes in Takely, which is merging with Great Dunmow. But it seems to be completely unplanned development. They keep building more and more houses on the periphery of towns without any proper infrastructure. I can't see there is demand for many more houses in this area."
He does concede, however, that property prices do point to something of a shortage. In the 1950s, a semi-detached house in Thaxted cost about £800. Now, it costs £250,000.

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), knee replacement surgery is one of the most successful medical procedures in the field of medicine. Every year, about 800,000 Americans get their knees replaced for various reasons. Total knee replacement surgeries recreate the knee joint with other materials to restore mobility and movement. Per the AAOS, 9 in every 10 of these replacements remain viable more than 15 years after insertion. But how do you know when to see a Mitchell Hip and Knee specialist for knee replacement? Does every knee injury warrant a visit to the surgical suite? Here is a look at five conditions that make you a viable candidate for knee replacement.
Table of Contents
Most knee replacement patients have one of two common types of arthritis – rheumatoid arthritis, the autoimmune disease that damages the joints, or osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear. And while these conditions have different effects on the knee, they all cause cartilage damage, which results in loss of motion and pain in the knee. Severe arthritis can be so debilitating as to make everyday activities unbearable. In this case, your doctor may recommend knee replacement for relief.
Chronic Knee Swelling
When your knee swells a lot, even after you receive other treatments, it could be a sign that your condition is not responding to treatment. This condition is usually caused by irreversible instability or cartilage degeneration in the knee. If your doctor confirms this through imaging, they may ask you to consider knee replacement surgery. This is also true for when your knee becomes knock-kneed, bowed, or otherwise deformed as your arthritis progresses.
Reduced Quality of Life
Your doctor can help you decide whether you need knee replacement depending on the effects your knee has on your quality of life. Knee injuries or conditions that do not respond to conservative therapies can cause untold pain and discomfort. Sometimes, they can make activities like walking and bending down impossible. If the pain persists even when you rest or throughout the night, knee replacement surgery might be the only way to find relief.
Ineffective Nonsurgical Treatments
When you get diagnosed with knee arthritis, your doctor often starts your treatment off with conservative treatments like physical therapy and steroid injections. If these fail to improve your symptoms, they may move you to more absolute measures like surgery. This is often the case because treatments like steroid injections fail to address the underlying problem and only mask your pain.
In most cases, knee replacement patients are people older than 60. Younger patients are discouraged from getting knee replacements because their active lifestyles can reduce the lifespan of artificial knees, and subsequent replacements are rarely as successful. That said, your doctor will perform a knee replacement regardless of your age as long as you are an ideal candidate.
Discuss Knee Replacement Surgery with Your Doctor
If your knee pain is so severe you can no longer walk up the stairs, it might be time to consider knee replacement. During this procedure, your doctor takes out the damaged cartilage and bone from your knee joint and replaces them with a prosthetic device. This treatment helps restore your mobility while alleviating your pain. To learn more, contact a certified knee replacement provider today.

For a number of months, occasional coffee-time conversation with friends David Thofern and Frederick Johnson usually got around to talk about progress on Mr. Johnson’s latest book, “The Sea Wing Disaster. Tragedy on Lake Pepin” (available through Goodhue County Historical Society here with event schedule about the book here). When the book came out, I bought a couple of copies (well worth the cost), and when I learned that the author would be talking about the volume at the Le Duc House in Hastings MN, I put it on the calendar, and last night my spouse and I went for a most fascinating hour presentation.
(click on photos to enlarge; to further enlarge poster beside Johnson, put cursor over the poster and click again.)
Frederick, David, myself, and others of we “regulars” are into bantering, about this and that, and this project was no different.
But the Sea Wing Disaster was no laughing matter. It happened July 13, 1890, in Lake Pepin, the shallow and large wide spot in the Mississippi River below Red Wing MN.
In the early evening of that day, the overloaded small steamer capsized in very strong winds, and 98 of the 215 passengers died. Most were from Red Wing.
It was and remains one of the largest domestic maritime disasters in U.S. History, and one of the very few in which weather was the major causative factor. (Many of the Sea Wing passengers were aboard a barge, lashed to the Sea Wing. All but one of the passengers on the barge survived. The Sea Wing, only 14′ wide and about 100 feet long, was overloaded and no match for the wind induced massive waves. The passengers had hardly a chance.)
In these days of AccuWeather and instantaneous forecasting it is perhaps hard to imagine being surprised by bad weather. People back then, and until very recently, relied on the usual visual signs of bad weather, and they knew what bad weather meant, in general. But this storm was different. Not long before the Sea Wing was struck down, a huge tornado from the same system had hit the Lake Gervais area just north of St. Paul. But this was 1890, and there was no easy way to spread the word about what was lurking not far away. The boat, the captain (who survived) and the passengers had hardly a chance.
Johnson first wrote about the Sea Wing in 1986. At the time he started planning to do an article, but there was so much material that he expanded his work into a book. Fast forward to 2014, and major additions provided by newly discovered material, including from the descendants of the casualties and survivors, gave rise to a much expanded new work. Indeed, even at the August 17 program, members of the audience showed photos of their ancestors who were with that boat the ill-fated day.
In this new edition, Mr. Johnson painstakingly researched both those who died and who survived. Judging from the audience on Sunday night, the new volume will bring forward still more new information retained in family collections for near 125 years.
Take in the presentation if you can (schedule above), and/or buy the book. It is a very interesting look at history.
