Of Fish, Milk, and Beets: Biotech Heats Up (Again)October 4, 2010
By Ricardo Carvajal –
No sooner did FDA hold its advisory committee meeting and public hearing on bioengineered AquAdvantage salmon than Congressional representatives made their displeasure known with the prospect of FDA approval. In addition to signing on to letters of protest to the Commissioner (here and here), some have opted to sponsor legislation (here, here, and here) that would amend the FDC Act to require genetically engineered fish to be labeled as such or to ban them altogether. As we noted in a prior posting, this is the first time FDA is considering a NADA for a genetically engineered animal intended for food use. The level of controversy and opposition engendered thus far provides a strong disincentive to those developers waiting in line.
To appreciate just how protracted a battle the folks at AquAdvantage face, one need look no further than the dairy shelf, where the slugfest over labeling of milk derived from cows not treated with rbST continues more than 15 years after that drug’s approval (rbST stands for “recombinant bovine somatotropin,” a bioengineered hormone that increases milk production). For years, marketers of milk derived from cows not treated with rbST have sought to advertise that fact so as to tap into the desire on the part of some consumers to avoid all things biotech. Some labeling and advertising claims (e.g., “rbST free”) have provoked trade complaints from rbST advocates, who allege that the claims are false or misleading because they imply that milk derived from cows treated with rbST contains rbST and is somehow inferior. Having failed to get satisfaction from FDA and FTC in response to their trade complaints, rbST advocates turned to state legislatures to challenge the claims. Ohio obliged by banning certain types of claims (including “rbST free”) on the ground that they were false or misleading. A First Amendment challenge to Ohio’s ban was initially turned aside by a federal district court, which found the claims to be inherently misleading - but that victory was short lived. The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals recently reversed and remanded the case for further proceedings, noting that milk derived from cows treated with rbST might yet be found to contain rbST, and that there is “evidence that [such milk] contains increased levels of IGF-1 and might be compositionally of a lesser quality.” If so, then the claim “rbST free” in the labeling of milk derived from cows not treated with rbST would be truthful and not misleading. These arguments are eerily similar to those raised against AquAdvantage – arguments that FDA presumed it had put to rest, at least in the case of rbST (a more in-depth article over the rbST controversy is available here).
The biotech headaches of late have not been FDA’s alone. USDA/APHIS has been embroiled in litigation over its attempt to deregulate bioengineered alfalfa, and has now provoked the ire of a district court by issuing permits for the production of bioengineered Roundup Ready sugar beet seedlings – less than a month after being found in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act for deregulating the beets without preparing an Environmental Impact Statement. The court has ordered APHIS to “state under penalty of perjury exactly when and where it made the information public that the permits had been granted.” Ouch.
All in all, it would appear that a powerful alliance has emerged between consumer groups that generally oppose biotech and producers who have staked their livelihoods on the burgeoning consumer demand for “natural” and “organic” products.

Augmented reality’s potential for the enterprise continues to grow, with companies investing in new and state-of-the-art AR capabilities that can complement their existing enterprise applications. This type of relationship can be seen clearly in the news that Hexagon AB has announced the acquisition of an innovator in the augmented reality application creator space, Immersal Oy.
Hexagon AB has created digital reality solutions (including sensors, software and autonomous technologies), and have been focused on applying these digital tools to work in industrial, infrastructure and other industries where safety and quality are paramount.
AR applications can enhance real-world experiences by adding information to a user’s visual perception with the display of digital content in the physical world. AR’s ability to weave context-specific, 3D information into physical spaces provides opportunities to save time, improve performance and reduce costs across a wide range of industries and applications – from surveying, construction, public safety and manufacturing to maintenance, training and navigation applications.
The Immersal SDK (software development kit) allows developers to merge and “anchor” digital content to real-world objects – with precise accuracy to their actual location in the physical space – by enabling a user’s mobile device to locate and orient itself in the surrounding physical world using machine-readable maps. The maps, which are used for visual positioning, are constructed from image data supported by various mapping devices (including mobile phones) and hosted in the Immersal Cloud Service.
After the acquisition, the Helsinki-based Immersal will operate under Hexagon’s Geosystems division. For Immersal users and developers, the company states that they intend to allow “all services to continue as usual” which includes their free developer licensing.
For Hexagon, this may provide a fast track for the data and location-based information that they specialize in to get in front of users faster and in a more immersive way.
“Hexagon has long been a leader in delivering smart digital realities that combine inputs from reality capture sensors with advanced visualization software and tools to enable remote, location-based intelligence. This acquisition puts the power of these insights into the hands of those on-site, enhancing their field of view with superimposed digital information, meaning they can literally do more with what they see,” said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén in a company press release.
“Direct access to information about an asset – while working with that asset – including step-by-step instructions on how to repair it, can streamline maintenance tasks while reducing material waste and re-work.”
Immersal has years of experience developing AI and machine learning-based spatial anchor technology, which “anchors” virtual objects or models for viewing on different devices in the same position and orientation. This unlocks a wide variety of location-based solutions and services – from consumer-oriented augmented reality applications in gaming and media and entertainment to digital twin solutions on an enterprise scale. Immersal’s technology can map large spaces – both indoors and outdoors – and, unlike other solutions, works both offline on-device and online using the Cloud Service.

Social prescribing of arts to help patients recovery
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said that social prescribing of arts and culture should become an ‘indispensable tool’ for doctors to help aid patients’ recovery.
Speaking at the King’s Fund, the Health Secretary outlined the ways he believes person-centred social prescribing can tackle ageing, loneliness, mental health, and other long-term conditions. Criticising the reliance of treating long-term illnesses with drugs, he said that culture therapy, such as dancing and music classes, could save the NHS money.
Under the new plans, trips to libraries and concert halls - as well as 'personal playlists' of music - could be prescribed to help patients and their families cope with the symptoms of degenerative mental diseases.
However, the Alzheimer's Society has said that it ‘cannot see music and the arts alone as some kind of silver bullet for people with dementia’.
Sally Copley, from the Alzheimer’s Society, said: “There is no denying that social interaction, music and the arts have a key role to play in helping the 850,000 people with dementia across the UK to feel empowered and able to continue to doing the things they enjoy. We know from activities like Alzheimer’s Society’s Singing for the Brain groups just how valuable the arts are in helping to combat the isolation and loneliness felt by many people with dementia.
“It is certainly a positive step to be focussing on the wider picture of person-centred care but we cannot see music and the arts alone as some kind of silver bullet for people with dementia. What we really need to see in addition to social prescribing is GPs giving people with dementia access to the right support and medication when needed and, crucially, the government ensuring adequate funding for care is addressed in the upcoming green paper.”

Injured by implants
Two women's stories of medical devices gone wrong.
Life-changing pain from supposedly routine implant operations. Kim Chakanetsa speaks to two women who were injured by medical devices, and have gone on to campaign for concerns about them to be taken seriously in the UK and US.
Kath Sansom set up Sling The Mesh in 2015, ten weeks after having a trans-vaginal mesh implant for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), which immediately caused her excruciating pain and debilitation. It was removed seven months later, but Kath is still dealing with the physical and mental after-effects, and fights on for others left in chronic pain by mesh operations. In July 2018 the UK Government temporarily paused the use of vaginal mesh for SUI cases in England, while they carry out a safety review. This is due to report in Spring 2020.
Angie Firmalino's permanent birth control implant caused heavy bleeding, fatigue, and sharp stabbing pains. Removing it left fragments of metal and plastic in her body, which continue to cause her health problems. Angie founded the Essure Problems online support group to share her story and warn other women of the risks. It grew to tens of thousands of members who took their concerns to the authorities. In 2018 the device was withdrawn voluntarily by the manufacturer, who say they stand by Essure’s safety and efficacy.

Router with backup module
No more anger because your ISDN connection via modem router does not work because your provider momentarily "down". Now, thanks to a new Netopia product (imported into Italy by Alias) delays and curses will remain a memory. The company specializing in Networking and communications has announced a backup feature integrated in R5100 routers (Linea Dedicata / Frame Relay model) and R9100 (Ethernet-Ethernet model, for Internet access via an ADSL modem). Thanks to this novelty it is possible to ensure redundant access to the Internet, guaranteeing the possibility of connection even in the event of failure of the primary channel. "Netopia – reads a statement – the only manufacturer able to guarantee a backup system integrated in a Internet access device designed and designed for small and medium-sized businesses, schools, work groups and offices. This was made possible by the modular technology of the Netopia family which, in addition to guaranteeing its adjustability, allows the integration of two WAN interfaces (one primary and one backup). Who possesses the R5100 model or the R9100 model, can implement backup features by purchasing an ISDN module and installing it in the slot for the secondary interface. On the other hand, those who wish to upgrade their ISDN R3100 router to a dedicated line or Ethernet can use the ISDN module to implement line backup.

Butchers told how to identify a dangerous disease with the help of ice cream
Doctor and TV presenter Alexander mjasnikov has told on air of TV channel "Russia 1" as I could identify patient serious disease with ice cream.
One of the patients of the doctor, earlier survived heart surgery, complained of problems with it. This patient also suffered from diabetes and thyroid disease. The man complained that he could not swallow, especially cold food — for example, ice cream. According to Myasnikov, first he was suspected in a patient Oncology.
Anemia — deficiency of hemoglobin in red blood cells that carry oxygen. Often it is caused by deficiency of iron in the diet, but sometimes it indicates internal bleeding caused by bowel cancer, stomach or uterus.
Not to miss the signs of cancer, the butchers advised me to pay attention to the parameter MCV — average volume of red blood cells. The normal value for this parameter is 80 to 100. When reduced hemoglobin is considering three options: vitamin B12 deficiency, lack of folic acid or a reduced function of the thyroid gland. However, the patient Myasnikov MCV was moderately elevated.
Doctors conducted a series of surveys, in particular gastroscopy, colonoscopy, a CT and examination of internal organs, but could not find traces of cancer. The patient is only found an increased level of bilirubin and some enzymes.
According to him, an accurate diagnosis was set by a number of issues. So it became clear that the patient is very red in the cold.
"The impression that I'm an alcoholic, I'm sorry, I have red cheeks," said the man doctor.
In addition, the patient found Raynaud's phenomenon with cold cyanotic fingers. The man was prescribed the drug, a deactivation of the antibodies to erythrocytes, and advised less be out in the cold.

Some friends of mine asked if I would make them some new curtains for a bedroom they were decorating and giving a new lease of life to.
They chose and hung a striped wallpaper on one wall and purchased matching ready made curtains and bedding in ivory and black, however the purchased curtains were not wide enough for the window which is when I was asked to help. The curtains needed to made wider to fit the window but not look as though a extra bit had just been added to the sides, so I set the old ‘grey matter’ to work!
After conferring I purchased 3 plain fabrics in ivory, black and a pewter, stripped the lining and tape from the purchased curtains and split them into 4 pieces. I then added alternating stripes of the 3 colours to the middle and sides to make the curtains to the required widths. They were then and finished along the leading edges with black borders.
To continue the theme I made the valance with more stripes of the 3 colours, the addition of black lower border added the finishing touch. A slip cover for the headboard again with a black border, a bed throw and a couple of cushions completed the look!
I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and the recipients were overjoyed

The Premier League will make dozens more games available in its next TV rights auction as clubs target an increase on the huge £5 billion ($6.7 billion) deal they secured last time, a report said Friday.
Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper said for the first time entire rounds of Premier League matches would be shown live and football would go head-to-head with popular entertainment programmes on Saturday evenings.
Four full rounds of Premier League games will reportedly be up for grabs — three midweek rounds of fixtures and a programme on a public holiday.
The Telegraph said the league had issued the tender document for TV rights to fixtures for three seasons from 2019-20 and 200 of the league’s 380 matches would be available — 42 more than at present.
The commitment to not showing any live games between 2:45 pm and 5:15 pm on Saturdays continues, aimed at protecting attendances for lower-league football.

Roux-en-y biliary by-pass – a new approach in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia induced recurrent acute pancreatitis. Clinical case study
Languages of publication
Acute pancreatitis is a disease with significant mortality. Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is the third most common etiological factor of this disorder after alcohol and gall-stones. The authors presented a case of 42-years old caucasian female who was hospitalized due to recurrence of acute pancreatitis. She had been diagnosed with HTG. She had earlier seven episodes of acute pancreatitis. Endoscopic papillotomy and conservatory treatment didn’t change her complaints and she was consented for surgery. Exclusion of distal part of bile duct was performed. The common bile duct was anastomosed side-to-side to the 70 cm long Roux loop of the jejunum with the ligation of the distal part of the common bile duct. Following the surgery authors observed normalization of amylase, lipase, leukocytosis and CRP levels. During six months after procedure patient didn’t have any new episode of pancreatitis. Exclusion of distal part of bile duct may be a useful tool in surgical treatment of recurrent acute hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis.

Every Christmas, my family makes these delightful little treats called peanut butter balls. Balls of sweetened peanut butter are dipped in semi-sweet chocolate. A lot of people call them buckeyes, but my mom’s ratio of peanut butter to chocolate makes them ours, with a simple name: peanut butter balls.
Neighbors wait for these over the holidays; we bake at least three or four batches over the weeks. There isn’t a Christmas I don’t remember where we haven’t had a leftover pot of chocolate hanging out on the stove, waiting to be reheated for the next batch that is mixed and rolled.
So I bet by now you’re wondering why this post is titled Nutella. Freak out not, as my favorite English teacher used to say, I’m getting there.
This week, I wanted to satisfy a selfish curiousity; instead of crunchy peanut butter, I wanted to try creamy. And I wanted to eat Nutella in a more grandiose form than off my finger or on a spoon. So a Nutella version was created.
I’ll sidestep the tension this created in my family. Creamy peanut butter and NUTELLA on the inside!?!? They were incredulous that I had changed the very principles of chocolate peanut butter balls.
But my worries from their criticism melted away when my brother’s girlfriend announced that she could forget about peanut butter balls; Nutella balls are her new favorite. And my brother-in-law said that when he tasted the newest version, he had a food-gasm. I’m glad some people are open to change.
But for those of you sticklers, the recipe for the original is the same, just use peanut butter instead of Nutella.
12 oz Nutella (1 1/2 cups)
1 stick of butter, plus two tablespoons, softened (these two tablespoons are not part of the original recipe, but for the Nutella, have a few extra tablespoons on hand in case the mixture is too crumbly and doesn’t ball up easily)
1/2 box powdered sugar
1 package cinnamon graham crackers crushed fine (regular are fine, too)
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 piece of paraffin wax
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
Mix Nutella, butter, powdered sugar, and crushed graham crackers until well combined. Roll into balls. Size is up to you, but I enjoy these when the balls are smaller (hold your laughter) and there is a smaller ratio of peanut butter to chocolate.
In a double boiler or pot set to very low heat, melt chocolate and wax. Dip rolled balls into chocolate then place on waxed paper to dry.
Here’s a video I did over Christmas to demonstrate how to dip these. Please be warned- I didn’t realize this had volume and therefore some inconsequential conversation is going on about dinner. Please disregard.
A little trick of the trade: place the waxed paper on a cookie sheet so the whole thing is easily transportable.

||It has been suggested that this article be merged into social anxiety disorder. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2012.|
Social phobia (better termed as social anxiety disorder) is distinguished by a fear of public humiliation or embarrassment. It is one of several phobia disorders, which are all typified by excessive, specific, and consistent fear and avoidance of an object, activity, or situation. People with social phobia may avoid doing activities in public such as eating or speaking, as well as using public bathrooms. Ultimately, someone with social phobia fear that people they do not know may judge them, which would cause them to have anxiety. Most commonly, social phobia develops between early adolescence and age 25 (Schneier et al., 1992). For more detailed information, see Social anxiety disorder.
The term “social phobia” has been used interchangeably with “social anxiety disorder” in the past, but now is the less preferred term. This is due to “phobia” suggesting the necessity of avoiding a certain object, activity, or situation. Often times with this disorder though, the evasion from the object, activity, or situation is not essential as people who meet the criteria for social anxiety disorder do not necessarily avoid all social situations. Also, the feared stimuli of those with social anxiety disorder are too extensive in the number of scenarios to be considered a specific phobia. Therefore the continued use of the term “social phobia” in describing such a disorder may lead clinicians to miss the diagnoses of those who only subtly avoid social situations (Bögels et al., 2010). This name change takes place in the upcoming DSM-5, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which makes certain changes to the current requirements needed for diagnosis of social phobia (or social anxiety disorder) ("Dsm-5 development: E 04 social," 2012). DSM-5 is set to release May 18-22, 2013 ("Dsm-5 development: Timeline," 2012).

The bill would give cyberattack victims the go-ahead to retaliate against their attackers within certain parameters.
Scrutiny of potential collusion between members of the Trump team and Russia intensified after the president dismissed Comey and has unleashed speculation that he did so to stop the FBI's investigation.
Swedish officials said the decision to ditch the investigation for the time being does not exonerate Assange, who also may eventually face charges by U.S. authorities over the release of classified information.
With the lethality of WannaCry being blamed on the NSA's EternalBlue exploit, we asked the cyber-security industry about the wisdom of allowing intelligence agencies to stockpile zero days.
Rosenstein made the appointment after a tumultuous week that was marked not only by the president dismissing Comey but also by reports that a detailed memo from Comey recounted Trump asking him to drop the Flynn probe.
The disclosure during the meet-up, which took place during a tumultuous week in which Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, prompted White House officials to contact the CIA and the NSA to do damage control.
A U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee hearing today scheduled to discuss worldwide threats to America was essentially hijacked with the vast majority of questions focusing on whether James Comey's firing by President Trump will negatively impact the FBI's investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 election.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, galvanized by almost daily revelations about Team Trump's ties to Russia and Tuesday's abrupt dismissal of FBI Director James Comey, has turned up the heat on its investigation.
The fallout from Comey's unexpected dismissal sent the White House and its surrogates scrambling as Democrats and Republicans alike questioned the wisdom, motivation and timing of the president's action.
Three Chinese hackers were ordered by a Federal Judge in Manhattan to pay a combined total of approximately $9 million in fines.
So disturbed was Yates by the information gleaned by the FBI from interviews with Flynn at the White House that she didn't wait until agents wrote up a report on their findings before requesting a face-to-face meeting with White House Counsel Donald McGahn.
Both legitimate internal and fake documents were posted on social media by a hacker called EMLEAKS "to sow doubt and disinformation," Macron's staff said.
In-memory attacks are on the rise according to Sentinel One, and being increasingly adopted by cyber-crime authors to evade security software.
Researchers spotted a remote access trojan (RAT) dubbed Felismus which has a modular construction that allows it to hide or extend its capabilities.
The committee also asked the White House for additional documents on Flynn's dealings with foreign governments but was rebuffed in a letter from Legislative Director Marc Short.
Some cybersecurity professionals are wondering if North Korea's recent attempt to launch a missile failed due to malware implanted by the United States, a claim rebutted by U.S. officials.
Multiple intelligence agencies in the West shared information on interactions between members of Trump's team and Russian operatives.
In contrast to earlier remarks by Donald Trump's, CIA Director Mike Pompeo Thursday called WikiLeaks, a "hostile intelligence agency" with ties to Russia.
Researchers in the UK have uncovered a technique for malicious websites to spy on smart device owners and even decipher their screen touches and PIN number entries by secretly monitoring their devices' sensor data.
Rep. Devin Nunes, (R-Calif.) said a series of what he called "false" ethics complaints filed against him compromised his ability to lead the investigation.
Kaspersky Lab researchers uncovered new information about one of the world's first cyberespionage groups
In addition to intelligence that prompted the U.S. to ban laptops and other devices in passenger cabins of certain airlines to thwart terrorists attempting to bring explosives on board, officials worried that bad actors might also attempt cyberattacks on airports and nuclear facilities.
Flynn's lawyer said he would testify if the circumstances were right
Authorities are reportedly closing in on the culprit behind the February 2016 Bangladesh Central Bank heist. Not only does the FBI officially believe the robbers to be state sponsored, but unofficially authorities suspect they are North Korean.

Now Dundee sees the light and puts Christ back into Christmas
Dundee has restored the traditional festive spirit to its celebrations following the personal intervention of Lord Provost John Letford.
Earlier this month, the city council was accused of tarnishing the reputation of the city following revelations that all references to Christianity – including the story of the Nativity – had been excluded from the "Winter Light Night" festival.
Church leaders condemned the council for eroding the religious significance of Christmas.
And they were joined by Mohammed Asif, the city's only Muslim councillor, who said the most important cultural celebration for families in Dundee should be staged as a "Christmas" festival.
Mr Letford found himself in the firing line as representations were made to his office claiming the Christian faith has been betrayed and he was responsible.
But yesterday it was revealed that, at tomorrow night's ceremony to switch on the Christmas lights, representatives from the Church of Scotland's Dundee Presbytery and the Catholic Church will join the procession and be allowed to address the crowds gathering for the celebrations in the City Square.
Mr Letford, who met church leaders yesterday, said: "This has caused a great deal of embarrassment for the council and a lot of personal pain and embarrassment for me.
"The Christmas message will now be read out, and members of the Catholic Church and Dundee Presbytery will accompany myself and the chief executive on the procession into the city centre."
He added: "There has been great disappointment with the way (this issue] has been handled. It was a vague policy document that seems to have caught us on the hop. It is very disappointing that the city's reputation has been tarnished.
"We should not forget that Christmas is a time to remember the message of Jesus and it would be wrong not to let people exercise that right."
Mr Letford also vowed that the situation "will all be sorted for next year and we will not allow this to happen again".
The Rev Allan Webster, vice-convener of the church and society committee of Dundee Presbytery, welcomed the council's Christmas U-turn.
He said: "I will be giving a Christmas message at the conclusion of the parade in the City Square. Everybody is delighted."
Monsignor Kenneth McCaffrey, vicar general of the Dunkeld Diocese of the Catholic Church, said: "The priests and people of the diocese were concerned at the actions of Dundee City Council in attempting to remove all reference to Christmas from the annual switch-on celebrations.
"We are delighted the council has seen the light and is acknowledging that Christ is part of Christmas."

Diseases & Conditions
Lisfranc (Midfoot) Injury
Lisfranc (midfoot) injuries result if bones in the midfoot are broken or ligaments that support the midfoot are torn. The severity of a Lisfranc injury can vary widely — from a simple injury involving one midfoot joint to a complex injury involving many midfoot joints and broken bones. Midfoot fracture dislocations are named after French surgeon Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin, who served in the Napoleanic army in the 1800s and observed midfoot injuries in cavalry soldiers.
A simple Lisfranc injury can be easily mistaken for a sprain, especially if the injury is a result of a straightforward twist and fall. However, injury to the Lisfranc joint is not a simple sprain that should be "walked off" or expected to heal quickly. Even a simple Lisfranc injury is a severe injury that may take many months to heal and may require surgery to treat.
The midfoot is the middle region of the foot, where a cluster of small bones forms the arch on the top of the foot. From this cluster, five long bones (metatarsals) extend to the toes.
The bones are held in place by strong ligaments, known as the Lisfranc joint complex, that stretch both across and down the foot. However, there is no connective tissue holding the first metatarsal to the second metatarsal. A twisting fall can break or shift (dislocate) these bones out of place.
The Lisfranc midfoot joint complex has very litle motion and is critical in stabilizing the arch for push off during walking (gait). During walking, the midfoot transfers the forces generated by the calf muscles to the front of the foot. If a Lisfranc injury is left untreated, instability of the arch can persist, resulting in the collapse or flattening of the foot.
The midfoot will be affected if the bones are broken (fractured) or the ligaments are torn. Injuries can vary, from a simple injury that affects only a single joint to a complex injury that disrupts multiple different joints and includes multiple fractures.
Lisfranc injuries tend to damage the cartilage of the midfoot joints. Cartilage covers the ends of bones in the joints, allowing the joints to move smoothly. If severe midfoot injuries are not properly treated, damage to the cartilage and increased stress at the midfoot joints can result in arthritis and collapse of the arch, which requires complex surgery to correct. Even with successful surgery for the Lisfranc injury, arthritis can still develop in later life.
A low-energy Lisfranc injury can happen with a simple twist and fall. It is also commonly seen in football and soccer players when one player lands on the back of another player's foot while the foot is flexed downward in the push-off position.
More severe injuries occur from direct trauma, such as a fall from a height or a motor vehicle collision. In these high-energy lisfranc injuries, multiple foot fractures and joint dislocations can occur, along with injuries to the back and other limbs.
These are the most common symptoms of Lisfranc injury:
- The top of foot may be swollen and painful.
- There may be bruising on both the top and bottom of the foot. Bruising on the bottom of the foot is highly suggestive of a Lisfranc injury.
- There may be pain in the midfoot that worsens with standing, walking, or attempting to push off on the affected foot. The pain can be so severe that weightbearing is not possible, and crutches may be required.
You should seek care from an orthopaedic surgeon if standard treatment for a sprain (rest, ice, elevation) does not relieve pain and swelling, or if you are unable to bear weight after the injury.
Medical History and Physical Examination
After talking with you about your symptoms and discussing your concerns, your doctor will examine your foot and ankle. Although some of the physical tests the doctor will perform may be painful, none of them will make the injury worse.
Specific things your doctor will look for include:
- Bruising along the bottom of your foot. This suggests a complete tear of the midfoot ligaments or a midfoot fracture.
- Tenderness to pressure (palpation) along the midfoot.
- Pain with a stress examination of the midfoot. The doctor may grasp your heel and twist the front of your foot to determine whether there is pain at the midfoot. This should not cause pain in your uninjured foot.
- Pain with a "piano key" test. The doctor may grasp your toes and move them up and down to determine whether this causes pain. This puts stress across the midfoot and will produce pain if there is an injury.
- Single limb heel rise. The doctor may ask you to stand on one foot and come up on your "tip toes." This places significant stress across the midfoot and is useful if the injury is subtle. This test should not cause pain in your uninjured foot.
Other tests that the doctor may order to help confirm your diagnosis include:
X-rays. Broken bones and the position of the bones can be seen in an X-ray image. An X-ray also can show the alignment of the Lisfranc joint. Any change in the normal alignment of the joint may suggest injury to the ligaments.
If the injury happened after a simple twist and fall (a low-energy injury), the doctor may ask that an X-ray be taken with the patient standing. In this case, the doctor is looking for a ligament injury, especially if the bones are not expected to be broken. Injuries will not be made worse from a standing (weightbearing) X-ray, nor will an injury that might be treated without surgery progress to need surgery if this test is done. The doctor may also take X-rays of your uninjured foot so they can compare the alignment of the bones in the injured foot to the uninjured side.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Because subtle Lisfranc injuries can be difficult to diangose, your doctor might order an MRI scan. MRI scans do a better job of imaging the soft tissues around the bone, including the ligaments that are injured in a Lisfranc injury. This test is not required to diagnose a Lisfranc injury, but it may be helpful in cases where the diagnosis is in doubt.
Computerized tomography scan (CT ) scan. CT scans are more detailed than X-rays and can create cross-section images and 3-D renderings of the injured foot. Because a CT scan will help evaluate the exact extent of the injury and the number of joints involved, your orthopaedic surgeon may order this test to help plan for surgery. However, this test is not required to diagnose or treat a Lisfranc injury.
Treatment for a Lisfranc injury depends on the severity of the injury.
If there are no fractures or dislocations in the joint and the ligaments are not completely torn, nonsurgical treatment may be all that is necessary for healing. A nonsurgical treatment plan includes wearing a non-weightbearing cast or boot for 6 to 8 weeks. You must be very strict about not putting weight on your injured foot during this period. This then progresses to weightbearing in a removable cast boot or an orthotic.
Your doctor will want to follow up with you regularly and take additional X-rays to make sure your injury is healing well. During the course of follow up, if there is any evidence that the bones in the injured joint have moved, surgery will be needed to put the bones back in place.
Surgery is recommended for injuries with displaced fractures (broken bones) or with abnormal positioning (instability) of the joints. The goal of surgical treatment is to realign the joints, return the fractured bone fragments to a normal position, and restore stability to the midfoot.
These procedures can be used to treat Lisfranc injuries:
Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision on top of the foot, positions the bones correctly (reduction), and secures the bones in place with plates or screws. Because the plates or screws will be placed across joints that normally have some motion, some or all of this hardware may need to be removed at a later date. This can vary from 3 to 5 months after surgery, and is at the surgeon's discretion.
Occasionally, the hardware may break before it is removed. This is not unusual when screws or plates span bones that have some movement. Metal can fatigue and fail under these conditions, just as a paperclip will fail if bent repeatedly. The surgery is often successful even if some of the hardware breaks.
Midfoot fusion. In some patients and types of Lisfranc injuries, fusion of the injured midfoot bones may be recommended as the surgical treatment. The goal of a fusion surgery is essentially to realign the injured bones and have them heal together so that a joint no longer exists between them. Because the midfoot joints have very little motion to begin with, fusion can be an appropriate treatment to eliminate pain and restore function to the midfoot.
In this procedure, the surgeon removes cartilage from the bones and uses metal plates, screws, or staples to compress the bones together so that they heal to one aother. The hardware will not typically need to be removed because the joints are fused and will not move after they heal.
Rehabilitation. After surgery (ORIF or fusion), a period of non-weightbearing for 6 to 8 weeks is typically recommended in a cast or cast boot. Weightbearing is started while the patient is in the boot if the X-rays look appropriate after 6 to 8 weeks. The amount of weight a patient can put on their foot, as well as the distance the patient is allowed to walk, is at the surgeon's discretion.
The goal in every patient is to have a pain-free, stable midfoot and return to all pre-injury activities. This goal can be achieved with either ORIF or fusion surgery in all types of patients. However, it is important to note that:
- The overall recovery process for resuming all activities may take 6 months to 1 year in some patients.
- Some patients may have persistent midfoot pain even with a successful surgery.
- Some athletic patients never return to their pre-injury levels of sport after these dificult injuries.
- Despite excellent surgical reduction and fixation, arthritis may occur from the damage to the cartilage. This may result in chronic pain and may require additional surgery in the future.

Guenter Verheugen said that because of the Social Democrats' "difficult situation" he was quitting as parliamentary whip to give the party leader, Rudolf Scharping, the chance to fill the post with someone who can "concentrate his whole powers" on the job. Mr Verheugen said he cannot do that because of his other duties.
The once-great party of the late Willy Brandt has been unable to oust Chancellor Helmut Kohl since he took office in 1982 and is frantically seeking a new direction. Some members blame Mr Scharping for the party's turmoil and would like to see him replaced. The media paints him as lacklustre, incapable and without charisma.
The Social Democrats came close to toppling Mr Kohl in last October's federal elections, but since then ideological cracks within the party have widened.Reuse content


Question about spawning weapons with specific stats
Ok, going over the wiki(s), see there's a way to spawn in weapons. This is good. But, there's a few things I don't understand and asking in this; 1. Set the improvement level of a spawned weapon (IE, a Superior Elven Bow)? 2. Enchanting - Set enchantment level of specific enchantment(IE: 8 points of Fire damage)? 3. Modify a weapon to be at a specific base damage (IE, a bow to do 46 base damage)? 4. Cheat enchants to be used in an enchanting table? Read that if you apply an enchant to a weapon, it can't be disenchanted, saying you "already know it". 5. Cheat to name a weapon/armor piece? Or is my only option to "enchant" the weapon to rename?

Government Asks FA To Cancel Streaming Deal With Betting Companies
The FA announced in 2017 that it would no longer allow gambling firms to sponsor its events or use its media rights. This was however 6 months after it had already done a deal with IMG that allowed broadcast rights to be sold to bookmakers and since the start of the 2018-19 season Bet365 have been streaming FA Cup matches on their site.
Gambling is now firmly in the spotlight following the creation of the new Betting and Gaming Council a recent parliamentary group review and was also present in all major parties manifestos during the recent general election. The government on the back of this has therefore now called on the FA to reconsider its betting deal that will allow matches to be streamed by bookies until the 2024-2025 season.
What Has The FA Done & How Big Is The Problem
The FA has already gone a long way to reduce ties with bookies following the 2017 ban by enforcing tighter restrictions on players betting (with mixed results) along with a load of responsible gambling initiatives. However, the point remains that over 12 billion was on football last year, half of Premier League clubs have gambling sponsors and there have been numerous recent controversies and fines for clubs and players.
The fact is the FA doesn’t control either the Premier League, clubs or their TV rights and even a ban by the FA on betting sponsorship is barely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to gambling and football. Authorities have begun to bring in measures to reduce gambling exposure to children, such as banning under-25’s in adverts and this may be having some effect, but largely the exposure of betting within sport remains high.
Bookies have gone someway to curbing exposure of gambling to children within football, with a self-imposed TV ban, increased levies to aid responsible gambling initiatives and new pledges to create a safer environment but this does not stop the exposure, especially to adults.
The FA have already said that they will:
“review this element of the media rights sales process ahead of tendering rights from the 2024-25 season”
But many are calling for them now to cancel the current rights deal entirely. This would certainly have a monetary cost to the FA and could lead to legal challenges.
Should Bet365 Be Able To Stream The FA Cup?
The deal as it is now allows Bet365 to broadcast all FA Cup matches except those that kick-off at 3pm on a Saturday, this, for example, meant 365 streamed 23 out of the 32 third round matches in January 2020.
In order to stream a match you either need to bet on it or have deposited in the previous 24 hours, this is largely where the problem lies as many feel this may encourage betting in order to watch the game where people don’t necessarily want to.
Although many matches are on free-to-air TV there are also matches on BT Sport, which many people do not have, or not on TV at all. Therefore, it is possible some people would feel they need to bet to be able to watch a game. There are also other potential problems, such as adults allowing minors to watch live bookie streams that could promote gambling. In addition there are those that see the money that companies like Bet365 and their owners earn and wonder if the FA should be furthering this.
On the other side of the argument it can be said that streaming of sports and football by bookies has been going on for over a decade and is not new. People have to pay fees to watch subscription TV anyway and a bookmaker streaming an event gives people more options to watch. The service is also a benefit to those that have deposited or genuinely bet on a game for other reasons and are therefore given the facility to watch, many of those would feel hard done by if the deal was revoked.
Streaming is also a very useful tool for many punters, especially those that bet in-play, who can get more information about how a match is developing by watching it. It could be argued that removing streaming actually makes it easier for the bookies to win in some cases.
Bet365 in their defense said that they do ‘not sponsor the FA or FA Cup’ or have a ‘commercial relationship’ with them and that customers are not obligated to bet in order to watch games, but can watch just by funding an account. They also point out that all users are verified that that are over 18 and that streaming can add value to users.
The debate is certainly one of the big topics of our time and there are many people both for and against the deal.
What Is The Government Saying?
Nicky Morgan, the (unelected) Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport said that things have changed since the original contract was negotiated and that the FA should reconsider. Nigel Adam, the (elected) Sports minister added:
“The gambling landscape has changed since this deal was signed in early 2017. All sports bodies need to be mindful of the impact that problem gambling can have on the most vulnerable.”
This comes on the back of a general government drive to review gambling services in the UK, that may result in a new Gambling Act to replace the 2005 Act that is now seen as for an analogue age.
People are betting more online than ever before and the government, along with the new Betting and Gaming Council that replaced both the remote gaming authority and the association of British bookmakers, want to bring in new legislation to reflect this.
It is likely that sports broadcasts by betting companies will be addressed by the BGC and the government officially in due course.
Will This Lead To A Ban On Live Streaming Of All Sports?
It is possible that streaming activities by bookies will become more regulated in the near future, although and outright ban is unlikely. The fact is most streamed events are for sports outside the UK, such as foreign football leagues, international tennis and many minor sports that people would struggle to access elsewhere.
It is a balance between removing anything that would encourage unnecessary gambling vs maintaining peoples free will to bet as they wish and throws open the debate about the role of the state in controlling gambling.
Higher on the priority list right now for the government are recommendations to curb online gaming stakes, remove the ability to deposit to betting companies using a credit card and the availability of controversial VIP schemes.
It is also worth pointing out that many people access illegal streams online to watch sport, many of which bombard users with gambling adverts, as well as other unsavory things. Any review into the broadcasting of sport related to gambling should go beyond just bookmakers.

Harvest Away! 2019
The main honey harvest month is upon us. Until several years ago, we waited until later in August to start stripping the hives of all their surplus boxes. We sometimes even got a strong late summer flow that filled 1-3 boxes after the first pull. Now we don't even try for a late flow in normal circumstances. Parasite treatments have number one priority due to the worsening varroa mite situation. If we don't get started now, the last hives to be harvested will not get treated for parasites until their populations are afflicted with too many viruses to have reasonable odds of survival.
A lot of yards are still making substantial surplus honey--especially where soybeans are an option. There are still fields in full bloom, and a few that have barely started to bloom. Maturation has been even slower than I anticipated, but it has staggered our crop potential in a way that gives the bees the best chance to benefit--except for the cropdusters that are making the rounds right now. The lawns are starting to brown substantially in the southern two-thirds of the state. There is evidently enough moisture in the ground from the endless spring rains to keep the nectar flowing even though the faucet got turned off in July.
Hopefully the equipment cooperates as we start spinning honey for weeks on end. . . . . There is usually a surprise along the way at some point. The humidity is somewhat reduced for the past week, so the honey pulling should be a little less trying than what we experience in some years. Away we go!

There is a page on the site about Durban’s transport history including the electric trolley buses that ran there for a number of years. I recently received this great picture from Trevor Jones and couldn’t resist posting it.
I came across this old slide in a box of family pics. It was taken by my father, I would suspect in 1962 or 1963 (not after that, as we left Durban end-1963). It shows the City Centre, with the Cenotaph in front of the City Hall, and several of the characteristic Trolley Buses or “trackless trams” that graced the Durban transport scene till the mid/late-sixties. They were superb – quiet, powerful and non-polluting, but limited by the “overhead wires” as they were termed. The street in front is West Street, and the corner of the portico of the City Hall is just visible on the left.
I have to say that the picture did have me confused at first because I couldn’t work out its orientation. A close examination of the street signs revealed that the yellow bus is actually in Church Street which I didn’t remember being open to traffic. I checked on Google Maps and I was dismayed to find Church Street is about the only one in that area that hasn’t been renamed.Share this:

Night Flower Remix
Mix of "D" and "W" sounds on this one. Local singer, originally from Kazakhstan, over drums, bass, electronics like the Orb. Generally very chill, though a few are more upbeat (see #6). Always sounds great, although some definitely stand out. #1 is fantastic. All songs 5-7 minutes or so. FCC Clean.|
**1. Wow. ~1 min. Chill ambient soundscape, then like a darker "La Femme d'Argent" (Air): nice bass line that brings Spiritualized to mind, various percussion, great vocal chanting, Orb-like electronics.
*2. Crickets -> stand up bass, BoC guitar, violin flourishes, chanting, spoken word. Solid drums & bass on this one.
3. Some vocal layering, Orb-like bass & electronics
4. Delicious cello-like electronics to start, more active bass and vocal chanting
5. Hand drums, chanted and hushed spoken vocals, bass that reminds me of DJ Shadow
*6. Starts with people talking, then the finally get their act together to make a nice groove with hand claps, layered vocals. Sounds like At the Cafe Bohemian territory to me!
7. Repeated vocals that sorta remind me of "Halber Mensch", but less scary. Builds with hip-hop beat, then drums.
8. On the more upbeat side, vocals get a little cheesy/poppy, but nice dark electronics underneath.
9. Another more upbeat one with chanting, propulsive bass line enters at 1 min. Disappears into more crickets.
10. Foreboding, builds slowly. More dancey.
11. Drums are the focus here for the most part, though there's also chanting.

Stand with us in protecting Canadian jobs: say “NO” to the Trans Pacific Partnership.
UPDATE: Canadians United for Change (CUC) is increasing pressure on the Canadian government to reject the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, US President Barack Obama and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto meet in Ottawa the last week of June for the North American Leaders` Summit.
You can help by signing the petition, and spreading the word in your workplace, to your family and friends as well as via social media.
Calling the TPP “a secret deal negotiated by Stephen Harper that could cost Canada approximately 50,000 jobs,” the CUC urges Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government to reject Stephen Harper’s policies. It’s more important than ever for the federal government to stand up for working Canadians by protecting and creating jobs, and the TPP includes multiple provisions that will undermine Canada’s ability to do so.
One of the most concerning aspects of the TPP, which cannot be amended by Canadian Parliament, is the potential for lost jobs, lower wages and repression of worker rights. This stems from provisions in the agreement allowing foreign companies to bid on Canadian projects and import less trained, cheaper employees. Canadian workers could be denied opportunities despite being better qualified and available for work.
Labour unions, like IUOE Local 115, are worried about the skewed benefits to corporate interests while risking job and wage security of Canadian workers.
Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the conclusion of TPP negotiations on October 5, 2015, just two weeks before the 42nd federal election. The deal was signed by TPP Ministers in New Zealand on February 4, 2016, but the Government of Canada under Prime Minister Justrin Trudeau has promised a full Parliamentary debate and consultation on the agreement.
The trade deal is seen as problematic by critics including labour unions, opposition political parties and immigration experts. These critics have continued to point out problematic aspects. At the time the negotiations concluded, Stephen Harper faced wide criticism, in part because of the impending election and the secrecy of terms of the agreement. Since coming to light, some of those terms have garnered even greater criticism, especially surrounding importing workers.
One of the most problematic issues is the 12 nation deal removes the requirement for companies to complete labour market assessments and economic need tests to prove no Canadians are eligible for jobs before hiring temporary foreign workers in specific occupations. Many of the skilled trades included in the deal are typically unionized jobs.
Further alarming is the TPP doesn`t include protections for Collective Agreements and doesn`t require TFWs to be paid prevailing rate wages. Any complaints over wages or hiring practices would have to go to private arbitration and it appears no Canadian tribunal has jurisdiction over this agreement. It is also unclear how credentials of foreign workers will be regulated.
IUOE Local 115 has been instrumental in the need to overhaul the current Temporary Foreign Worker program and shares the concern of trade unions across the country the TPP has the potential to seriously hurt Canadian workers.

Better part of last week I was hooked unto the test transmission of Soundcity's SoundcityPremium Music Television on DStv's channel 133.Now,it has resumed full transmission on channel 327.I feel really happy and proud of this development.
What makes SoundcityPremium unique is that it is a truly Nigerian thing,with lots of 'Naijacentric' flavors.
Soundcity is Nigeria's foremost music channel that has encouraged the production of quality music video by Nigerian acts and have equally projected many of these act on the global stage.With what I have watched so far,Soundcity has good programming and presentations.There is a good mix of Nigerian and foreign content.
The emergence of Soundcity on the same platform where South Africa's Channel O,Trace,MTV and MTV Base have held sway is a very strong indication that Nigerian music television has finally come to maturity.
Tajuddeen Adepetu and his team at Souncity must be commended for this bold step aimed at putting Nigerian Music television where it should rightly be.

Elbows - not only your body parts
An elbow is a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction, usually a 90° or 45° angle, though 22.5° elbows are also made. The ends may be machined for butt welding, threaded (usually female), or socketed, etc. When the two ends differ in size, the fitting is called a reducing elbow or reducer elbow.
Elbows are categorized based on various design features as below:
Long Radius (LR) Elbows ? radius is 1.5 times the pipe diameter
Short Radius (SR) Elbows ? radius is 1.0 times the pipe diameter
90 Degree Elbow ? where change in direction required is 90°
60 Degree Elbow ? where change in direction required is 60°
45 Degree Elbow ? where change in direction required is 45°
A 90 degree elbow is also called a "90 bend" or "90 ell". It is a fitting which is bent in such a way to produce 90 degree change in the direction of flow in the pipe. It is used to change the direction in piping and is also sometimes called a "quarter bend". A 90 degree elbow attaches readily to plastic, copper, cast iron, steel and lead. It can also attach to rubber with stainless steel clamps. It is available in many materials like silicone, rubber compounds, galvanized steel, etc. The main application of an elbow (90 degree) is to connect hoses to valves, water pressure pumps, and deck drains. These elbows can be made from tough nylon material or NPT thread.
minor plumbing repairs done in the bathroom
Home handymen are very fond carry out the various repair work. Therefore, it happens also that alone make minor repairs or improvements hydraulic. The houses usually they exchange seals and pipes, which has already gathered a lot of dirt and hair and suds. Similarly, in flats, where sometimes you also need to fix the toilet flush. In addition, home handymen often deal with repairs washing machines standing in a bathroom or dishwashers standing in the kitchen. So they can save some money and demonstrate their efficiency in front of family. But keep in mind that the performance of such work will be possible only if equipped house there are small seals and hydraulic tools.
Comprehensive plumbing services performed in a flooded bathroom
It happens that the household after returning home to find that the bathroom is flooded. In some cases, you can quickly determine the cause of flooding in others but plumbers have to decide to carry out specific work to determine on where the bathroom is leaking water. This will avoid further damage and execution of comprehensive services plumbing. Before plumbers will join the repair work will make them a decent valuation, and sometimes they will have to also prepare for his client the cost estimate, which will allow him to determine whether he will be able to pay for work performed in your bathroom plumbing. Sometimes, however, their performance will simply be necessary regardless of the cost.


UFC 216 is almost here, and as usual, Embedded is here as well. The show that gives you an inside look at the marquee contestants on PPVs has issued the first episode for this weekend’s big show in Vegas, and it serves as a brief introduction to the fighters at the top of the card.
Tony Ferguson is training at the beach after a bunch of mountain training. He talks about fighting for his family. Kevin Lee talks about Ferguson while getting a haircut at some guy’s house. He then does some simulated racing (which he’s terrible at) before jumping behind the wheel of a real race car. He manages to get the real thing up to around 150 miles an hour, while screaming his face off.
Now we’re back to Ray Borg’s house, where he’s making food. They could have just used the footage from UFC 215 for this. Demetrious Johnson is back at AMC, with Matt Hume talking him up. On the drive home, Johnson talks about the title record he can break and how he’s not going to take this fight lightly because of that.
And that’s it!

The country’s top pizza chains are looking to hire 60,000 new workers—and get them trained in a hurry—as the coronavirus pandemic drives more customers to delivery and carryout services.
Pizza Hut, the No. 2 pizza chain behind Domino’s in terms of global retail sales, will lead the hiring charge, adding more than 30,000 positions nationwide. “Now more than ever, restaurants have an important role in feeding families and those looking for safe, fast and reliable food from brands they can trust,” the company announced on its website. “As the largest pizza brand in the U.S. by store count, Pizza Hut is committed to doing its part. The company is hiring and putting new procedures in place—and doubling down on others—to meet the changing demands of customers during this critical time.”
The move came just as Yum Brands, parent company of Pizza Hut as well as Taco Bell and KFC, announced in an SEC regulatory filing that it has temporarily closed 7,000 restaurants worldwide, including 1,000 Pizza Hut Express units in the U.S. and more than 900 KFC locations in the United Kingdom, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Industry leader Domino’s earlier announced its plans to hire 10,000 new fulltime and part-time employees nationwide, including delivery drivers, pizza makers, managers and more.
For its part, Pizza Hut will hire drivers, cooks, shift leaders, managers and virtual call center agents, noting, “Most importantly, these are permanent positions.” It will also start expediting its hiring and onboarding process “to accommodate people who are looking for jobs now and to get delivery drivers on the road more rapidly” in response to soaring demand for pizza delivery. “The new process aims to have delivery drivers trained and on the road safely in five hours, which is nearly [three times] quicker than the previous training procedure,” Pizza Hut states.
“Given the increased demand we’re seeing for delivery, we’re hiring new team members to help us feed America,” said Kevin Hochman, president of Pizza Hut U.S., in a statement. “Whether through contactless delivery, curbside pickup or carryout, we’re here to serve oven-hot pizza however customers want to get it.”
Papa John’s, the No. 3 pizza chain, will also speed up its hiring and training process, hoping to get workers started on the same day they interview and get hired.
“For anyone looking for immediate ways to earn an income, we’re making it quick and simple to apply, interview and be hired at Papa John’s,” said Marvin Boakye, Papa John’s chief people and diversity officer, in a press release. “We want to add talented team members to our Papa John’s family across the country to deliver food safely to our customers’ doorsteps. We are in the unique position—as a restaurant that specializes in delivery and carryout—to help our communities through this crisis.”
In fact, the three biggest pizza chains might be uniquely positioned to benefit from the coronavirus crisis since their business models are already based on delivery and carryout. But many smaller pizza companies and independents face the loss of significant dine-in business and must ramp up their delivery operations—or add a delivery component—to stay competitive.
