INTRODUCTION TO THE THESIS The study reported in this thesis investigates predictors of success following a corticosteroid injection (CSI) into the subacromial-subdeltoid (SASD) bursa of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. Anecdotally, there is a lack of knowledge regarding how patients will respond to a CSI into the SASD bursa, as well as what attributes may suggest whether a patient will or will not recover well following a bursal injection. This thesis therefore aimed to collate outcome measures and investigate if they can predict changes following a SASD bursal CSI. The study is presented as a Manuscript, which is preceded by a Literature Review discussing research pertinent to the area of study undertaken. Research into the impact of shoulder pain is presented in the following Literature Review presented in Chapter I. The epidemiology and economic impact of shoulder pain is explored first, demonstrating a global lack of current research in this field, and the rise in national costs associated with shoulder pain recovery. The next section titled ‘Why Shoulder Pain?’ explains causes of shoulder pain, integrating anatomical, functional, and biomechanical considerations and theories of pain to provide a comprehensive review of shoulder pain. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is reported to be one of the most common shoulder pathologies causing shoulder pain and therefore will be discussed in depth in the section titled ‘What is Shoulder Pain’. This will provide background information regarding the likely cause of SIS related shoulder pain, followed by the treatment options that may be used prior to a CSI being considered. The section will introduce SIS as a condition, followed by discussion of the process of diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis. Given the study investigates corticosteroid injections into the SASD bursa, and whether a response could be predicted following an injection, corticosteroids and their use will be discussed in some depth. The section titled ‘Corticosteroid Injections’ introduces the corticosteroid agents used for musculoskeletal (MSK) pathologies, and the methods used to facilitate accuracy of the injection. This is important to discuss because this study observed ultrasound guided CSIs, and there is debate regarding the effectiveness of guided versus non- guided injections. In this same section evidence pertaining to the effectiveness of a CSI will be discussed, presenting data on short-term versus long-term prognosis following an injection, as well as an outline of reported side effects of CSIs. Predictors and outcome measures related to shoulder rehabilitation will be introduced and discussed in the final section of the Literature Review. This discussion may appear tangential to shoulder pain and CSIs, however, because this pertains to the prediction of outcomes of shoulder pain, it is important to present information regarding such predictors and their use in research and clinical practice. Within the ‘Predictor’ section of the Literature Review, the initial stages of development of a clinical prediction rule (CPR) will be described. Although it was not an aim, nor a product, of this thesis to develop a CPR, it is important to demonstrate the steps necessary to create a successful prediction study. The use of predictors in healthcare will be discussed, as well as common predictors of shoulder pain and disability. Additionally, although this is a prediction study, it is important to introduce outcome measures, as some patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) can be used to assess a patient’s current status and predict future outcomes. The PROM subsection begins with a broad discussion on subjective versus objective measurement, followed by a paragraph on common PROMs used for shoulder pain and disability. A more substantial review on the development, validation and use of outcome measures in healthcare and research completes this section. Finally, a Summary of Chapter I highlights the reasoning behind investigating individual predictors and outcome measures that can predict shoulder pain following a CSI into the SASD bursa. Following this, a Methodology section will present how shoulder pain in the context of this thesis should be researched. The study proper will be presented as a Manuscript in Chapter II, reporting the main findings, as well as the appendices for the manuscript which provide additional information relating to the study. The thesis appendices are located in Chapter III, containing information not reported in the manuscript, such as ethics approval, consent forms, participant information and questionnaires.


Mariana Vitória de Bourbon (Madrid, 1718 – Lisbon, 1781), Infanta of Spain and later Princess of Brasil and Queen of Portugal, was a passionate music lover as evinced by many of the letters she sent from Lisbon to her mother, Isabel de Farnesio. Her taste for playing the harpsichordist and singing and her thoughts on music performances and the musicians themselves emerge from this correspondence. Less known is her role as a collector of scores and librettos, although some recent studies point out important clues in this regard (Montes, 2015; Maione 2018). Contrary to what happens with Maria Bárbara of Braganza and her remarkable music library, an inventory or list of works acquired or ordered by Mariana Vitória is not known, but part of the scores remain at the Biblioteca da Ajuda, in Lisbon. Diplomatic and family correspondence (including the letters exchanged with her brother Carlos, king of Naples and later Carlos III of Spain) shows that she often asked for the latest musical novelties. In addition, other sources from Portuguese and Spanish archives contribute to demonstrate that Mariana Vitória established connections with different European cultural and musical contexts and had an significant role in the construction of the musical heritage of the Portuguese court — a contribution that has been overshadowed by the prominence of her husband, king José, as the patron of the magnificent Ópera do Tejo, destroyed by the 1755 earthquake. A preliminary mapping of Mariana Vitória’s musical network will be presented together with the identification of some musical pieces. The musical influence she exerted on her four daughters will also be addressed, since at least two of them (the future queen Maria I and Maria Francisca Benedita) would contribute to the expansion of the court's musical library and to the circulation of repertoires through family and diplomatic networks.

Assumptions, nothing but assumptions. Come back and judge it three years later when you've actually played it.
The Last of Us IS about Joel and Ellie. Bringing in new main characters would just be an easy way out. A direct sequel is very risky indeed, but the payoff would be much better if done right.
This is ND we're talking about here so have some faith. This would never have been a thing if they didn't have a story worth telling in mind. And it's not the exact same game again unless you know something that we don't. Stop hating and just see what happens.
Oliver was just lame. Can't say that I'll miss him. Mr. Drippy needs to come back though.
What's with all the marked comments? It's a gaming website, not a church.
Still the best story in the series. GTA V is a better game, but the story really took a drop in quality compared to IV.
Just like how PS4 Pro is secretly a 9th gen console right?
The lengths fanboys like you would go to justify why the PS4 Pro is weaker than Scorpio is hilarious. Never mind that the company itself clearly made it known that Scorpio is nothing more than a supercharged Xbox One from the beginning.
Still in the denial stage huh?
Haters must be in tears right now lol
I wonder if people over here would be as forgiving to this game as they are now if it was an Xbox exclusive?
I doubt TLG will be better than FFXV.
Their newest JRPG is FFXV lol
According to some people who thinks that anything below a 9 is unacceptable for a AAA game, yeah.
XV will make Final Fantasy great again.
Gamespot also gave TLOU an 8 so this is nothing to worry about ;)
I played GTA 3 when I was 12 and I turned out fine. Not every kid is stupid enough to attempt what they see in games.
As a great man once said:
"My body is ready"
"Greatness Awaits" couldn't be a more appropriate slogan for Sony this gen.

Like JFK or James Dean, you can’t imagine an old Jackal. There’s something pathetic about Forsyth’s assassin prowling around his London flat, living with the desperate anguish of unaccustomed failure, his reputation in the hard-eyed marksmen’s world in tatters. A Jackal, haggling with the leaders of the OAS (Organisation Armee Secrete, the far-right terrorist group in the early 1960s) who commissioned him to kill De Gaulle, about returning the handsome advance, a Jackal looking for another job – what a messy end to a wonderful plot.
Published in the summer of 1971, Frederick Forsyth’s iconic novel, The Day of the Jackal, turned 50 this year. The book opens with an accurate description of an assassination plot on De Gaulle that actually happened in 1962, but what follows is suave, sniper-sight fiction. The Fred Zinnemann film adaptation that followed in 1973, with Edward Fox as The Jackal and Michael Lonsdale as France’s Hercule Poirot – and Holmes to The Jackal’s Moriarty – detective Claude Lebel, went on to being ranked by the British Film Institute as the ’74th greatest British film of the 20th century’ in 1999. But it was much more than that.
With the Jackal buried in an unmarked grave in a Paris cemetery – visited only by Lebel, his ultimate vanquisher – there would be little chance of Jason Bourne-type sequels. What of a prequel though? Perhaps with Cubans, the KGB and the mafia? Was the Jackal at the Grassy Knoll in Dallas at 12.30 pm that day?
Forsyth’s young Jackal dreamt of a better life, pressing ‘his nose to the travel agent’s window,’ gazing at the posters, ‘another life, another world, far from the drudgery of the commuter train and the forms in triplicate, the paper clips and tepid tea.’ Not the purposeful dream of a future 007 who was briefly an Etonian, and for whom the privilege of summering in the French Riviera is a given. The Jackal’s first Lee-Enfield was courtesy National Service – post-World War 2 British peacetime conscription – and his weapons training instructors murmuring, ‘Lad’s a natural,’ fast-tracked him to the sniper variant, leaving him at the range.
Too young to fight Hitler, he missed being Zaitsev, the hero of Stalingrad (Jude Law in Enemy at the Gates). But there were colonial firestorms in Aden and Malaya, and in 1960, a slaughterhouse called Katanga in the Belgian Congo. Before hiring him for the presidential kill, the uneasy OAS chief, Colonel Marc Rodin, realised that ‘whatever thoughts did go on behind the smokescreen nothing came through’.
Truly, the Man With No Name – the British Police believes him to be Charles Calthrop, a former arms salesman, until the real Calthrop appears after the death of The Jackal – he’s meticulous, buying clothes in Copenhagen, just for the labels, to stitch on to the clerical shirt, dog collar and black bib bought in London. If he’s going to be a Danish pastor, he’ll have to be immaculate.
To meet a gunsmith, the Jackal arrives early and waits in a park, behind a newspaper, to ensure he isn’t followed or the house isn’t under surveillance. When he ditches his Alfa Romeo in the woods late at night, covering the car with rhododendron branches, he smears the white cut stumps of the nearby bushes with earth. Walking away, he goes back ‘over his tracks with a branch, sweeping away the light impressions made in the moss and twigs by the passage of the Alfa.’ He’s a bit of a Gatsby, our Jackal: modest beginnings, rigorous military training, a murky past and if there’s no Long Island mansion, the Banque de France keys are – were and forever will be – a mercury-tipped bullet away.

A wiry player from a small-school Cinderella team hits a 3-pointer at the buzzer, sending a game into overtime, and the entire office cheers (well except for the ones whose brackets have been busted).
Meanwhile, managers bite their lips. They don’t want to break up the fun, but they know that the overtime period is going to eat away more productive minutes on a day when workers have already spent too much time worrying about the fates of Duke and North Carolina and not enough getting their projects done.
It’s a scenario that plays out across the country each March, when millions of fans fill out their 68-team brackets and rabidly follow the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament to monitor their standing in their office pool. The cost of this lost productivity is real, but some employment experts say tournament fun can provide a morale boost and warn that cracking down too much can backfire.
“It’s gotten pretty hard to stop people from participating in March Madness,” says Andrew Challenger, vice president of the global outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. “It’s one of those situations where you might as well embrace it as a company, especially in the employment environment we’re in right now. With unemployment at 4.9 percent, companies are really fighting to retain the best workers, and culture is a big piece of that, especially for younger workers.”
Mobile Technology Empowers Workers to Stream Whenever, Wherever
Each year, Challenger, Gray & Christmas estimates how much March Madness will cost companies in lost productivity. For 2016, the number is an eye-popping $3.9 billion. The firm estimates that 50.5 million workers across the country will fill out a tournament bracket and “conservatively” estimates that each of these workers will spend at least an hour completing the bracket and two hours watching games at work.
“We live in an age of distractions, and people have their smartphones with them at all times,” Challenger says. “This is something different. It really does get the office all worked up, and people really do spend time researching their picks, filling out their brackets and then actually streaming the games. It really is costly to employers.”
But, he notes, it’s become increasingly difficult to completely prevent workers from watching games at work if they’re determined to do so. While companies can block access to sports sites or even prevent live streaming completely, many enthusiasts have their own smart devices with LTE connections.
“Ten years ago, you had to leave the office to go watch the game, and people did,” Challenger says. “But today, you can get it on every desktop in the office, on your smartphone, on your tablet. You can watch it on your Apple Watch. It’s everywhere. It’s totally permeated the workplace.”
Why Companies Should Embrace the Streaming Madness
Instead of fighting March Madness, Challenger recommends that companies set up a TV tuned to the games in a common area such as a break room, so workers aren’t forced to covertly multitask at their desks. At his firm, managers even set up the office pool and give away a gift card to the winner, which helps eliminate illegal gambling among employees.
SOURCE: “No Harm, No Foul?” OfficeTeam, March 2016
Jerome Hernandez, director of information technology at the finance and investment firm Alliant Capital, is setting up a Chromecast stream on a TV in the office, so people can watch the games if they want to, he says.
Hernandez monitors streaming but only has conversations with employees about it if this activity becomes a problem.
“Unless, it’s the [company] president,” he says. “I know for a fact the games are going to be on in my president’s office.”
Before making any firm decisions on allowing or banning March Madness streaming in the office, companies should carefully weigh all the pros and cons of both scenarios.
“You have to balance it,” advises Jay Starkman, CEO of the Florida-based human resources outsourcing firm Engage PEO. “You don’t want to be that one employer that says March is not the time to be watching college basketball. Some folks would call that un-American. But at the same time, you can’t tolerate people taking off huge blocks of hours to watch.”
Starkman says that companies can walk this fine line by clearly communicating expectations during tournament season and by treating time-wasters in March the same way they would treat them at any other time of the year.
“If you wouldn’t have censured them for going on Facebook, don’t discipline them for going on ESPN,” he says. “But if you would have disciplined them for going on Facebook for an hour, you have the same conversation for spending an hour streaming a college basketball game. That’s just smart HR management.”
Starting a New March Madness Tradition
Matthew Mercuri, a digital marketing manager at steam-cleaner maker Dupray Inc., decided last year to put a few NCAA Tournament games on the office radio for his eight-person team. And, for the first time, workers were also allowed to stream games on one of their two computer monitors.
“It was going to be a one-time thing,” Mercuri says. “But we were actually more productive when we were doing what we wanted to, instead of alt-tabbing [to close streaming windows before bosses could see them] or watching on our phones.”
SOURCE: “Survey: Employees Won’t Put NCAA Tournament on Hold,” InterCall, March 2015
In previous years, Mercuri says, he would walk around the office and see streaming windows “pop up and pop down” as employees tried to look busy. This covert watching actually seemed to distract them more than when they were allowed to openly listen to and watch the games, he notes.
With the rules relaxed, one employee – a big Michigan State fan – watched the Spartans’ games but had no interest in any of the other teams in the tournament. A few other hoops fans watched more voraciously, but they stayed at the office late to finish up their work. Ultimately, Mercuri’s team finished two large projects ahead of schedule while the tournament was going on.
“They felt like it was a really good environment where they could do two things at once,” Mercuri says. “When leaders or bosses give a perk to employees, they want to pay it back. The people who work here aren’t here to leech off the company. We have a good team.”
As for a “good team” to pick in the tournament? Mercuri is less certain about that. “Uh … Kansas, probably?”

To most people, just the thought of the aging process causes much distress and worry. Those feelings of dread will be reinforced, when researching a particular disease. This disease causes the individual to lose their mind. "Described as a clinicopathological state literally meaning the ‘loss of the ability to think. (Shan, 2012)" It is called Alzheimer's disease (AD). It was described first by Alois Alzheimer in 1907. Most people use AD synonymously with dementia, but dementia was one of the DSM-IV's broad diagnostic categories. It is now called Major Neurocognitive disorder. To use dementia …show more content…
For example, President Ronald Regan was diagnosed with AD in 1994 (Halgin and Whitebourne, 2005). I have been exposed to it because my grandfather on my father's side got diagnosed with Alzheimer's four years before his passing. He was 90 when he was formally diagnosed with AD, but was diagnosed with dementia when he was around 85. I never got to know him in his prime, but he was able to tell me stories before he was too far into the disease. I also heard stories from my father and grandmother. It is alarming to witness a man that was an air force navigator in 2 wars, a new york mobster, a bootlegger, and a technician on some of the first computers ever built have his mind slowly stripped away from him. I say alarming, because it must be a very emotionally painful experience, especially when you have had so many experiences in your life, to have all those experiences stripped from you. He was a very harsh, and angry man in his youth, and continued to be offensive and difficult into his late 70's. The strange thing in his case was that instead of his condition making him delusional, obsessive, and more difficult to handle, he became more passive, and less obsessive. My theory is that he was burdened by some of the things he did in the air force and mafia all those years ago, and as the Alzheimer's progressed the bad memories started to fade. If my theory is correct, Alzheimer's assisted …show more content…

The Blue Hawks take the field again Saturday against the Golden Eagles in a one- nine inning game begining at 1:00 pm (MST) due to cold weather. The Blue Hawks will finish the five game series with the Golden Eagles on Sunday with a double header begining at 11:00 am (MST).


A 17 year old boy has denied defiling a 17 year old girl in an Eldoret courtroom in one of the most bizzare cases seen in the court. Kenyans have reacted to the case by saying how crude the law is in terms of two minors who decide to be in a relationship.
The young man was accused of defiling his agemate on April 18. He had previously pleaded guilty to the offence but changed tune on this particular mentioning and said that he was not guilty.
Barnabas Kiptoo, the Resident Magistrate adjourned the case to May the 17th when the boy will be brought back to the court. Kenyans took to Twitter to express their frustration with such a bizzare case.
There have been numerous cases of defilement in the country but one where it involved two minors is a rarity.

All funds will help us save more young lives by supporting HOPELINEUK, PAPYRUS’ suicide prevention crisis helpline. 2020 saw a 20% increase in calls received, so now is the time to 'give big' to make sure we are there for the young people of the UK and others who are concerned about a young person.
It ran from 12:00 PM, 30 November 2021 to 12:00 PM, 7 December 2021
Registered Charity in England and Wales (1070896)
Suicide is the biggest killer of young people in the UK today. Last year over 1,800 people under the age of 35 took their own lives. This is <5 people every day. Every year 1,000’s more attempt or contemplate suicide & are afraid to speak openly about how they are feeling. 2/3 to 3/4 of those that die by suicide are not previously known to mental health services. Only by speaking out can we remove the stigma ensuring those with thoughts of suicide can voice their feelings & ask for help.
PAPYRUS is the national charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide & exists to help young people & their families. We support, equip & influence communities through HOPELINEUK & our training & awareness-raising sessions. These are developed using our experience to engage with hard-to-reach communities, building resilience & raising awareness of suicide, mental health & self-harm. PAPYRUS also campaigns to influence local & national policy & to remove the ongoing stigma around suicide.
I cannot begin to tell you how helpful this conversation has been. It might be one of the best conversations I have had in my life. My problems are still there. But I have feelings now where I didn’t before. I feel a connection again and I honestly put it down to this call. Thank you.
Thank you for your help over the last 24 hours. I managed to have the confidence to have a conversation with my son & we're going to find a way forward together. I already sense a feeling of slight relief from him… but I think he realises we are concerned and care about him. It's a such a relief.
Thank you for the card & certificate that can show my colleagues that very kindly helped me raise £2,100 which I’m incredibly proud of. Thank you for the work you're doing at this incredible charity.

Welcome to The Interview Online Blog
A Handbag full of Wildean Witticisms
07 October 2011 by Nicky
|Photo - Alastair Muir
For their latest production, The Rose Theatre in Kingston has turn to
Oscar Wilde's The
Importance of Being Earnest, the classic comedy which has been
staged by professionals and amateurs alike the world
over, in venues no doubt considerably smaller than Kingston's three
year old theatre. Director and head honcho of the Rose, Stephen
Unwin knows that the lovely and perfectly formed Jane Asher (Lady Bracknell) is going to
bring in a large fan base to fill the 900 odd seats. But even she
would admit she is no Edith Evans whose vocal arpeggios
characterised the film version of 1952. Asher looks terrific and
her cake-making career has not altered her waist size in the
slightest. Asher's Bracknell is more of a young Thatcher,
determined to use the famous handbag to whip the young men into her
view of what social order should be.
But with Bruce Mackinnon as Algernon,
the stage ain't big enough for his wonderfully camp performance.
Not quite over the top, was he personifying Wilde himself? A couple
of times, I wondered whether he'd escaped from a production of Toad
of Toad Hall, despite Mackinnon being tall and slim. Yet by
the second act, he'd completely won me over.

Maybe London at the end of the
19th century was full of extravagant
and camp gays who had to marry to stay in society. After all, as
Unwin's excellent programme notes tell us, the opening night of
Earnest was a mere fortnight before events took
place which led to Wilde's very public downfall.
For me the biggest treat was to hear
Wilde's wonderful put downs critising London's small minded
society, which pepper the script and which are all beautifully
executed by Unwin's cast. Besides the wonderful and much parodied
"to lose one parent might be considered a misfortune.." line which
is still being personalized over 100 years later, there are dozens
of wonderful, half forgotten critiques throughout. For
example Lady Bracknell
"Thirty-five is a very attractive age.
London Society is full of women of the highest birth who of their
own free choice have remained 35 for years. Lady Dumbleton is
an instance in point. To my own knowledge she's been 35 ever since
she arrived at the age of 40 which is many years ago now."
Other lovely performances were
given by Kirsty Besterman as Gwendolen who commanded the
stage magnificently and Jenny Rainsford who presented Cecily as her
professional debut. No doubt we'll see more of her in the future.
With Daniel Brockelbank as an frenetic and impatient Jack, Ishia
Bennison as a delightful Miss Prism and Richard Cordery as Chasuble
this Importance is another excellent landmark for the Rose
and worth catching while it performs until 30th

MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Need a lightbulb moment for your portfolio? Try eEnergy, the firm that's saving schools money
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is committed to making Britain greener. That means people and businesses need to reduce their energy consumption and wean themselves off oil and gas.
The public sector, including schools, hospitals and prisons, needs to play its part too, but the process can be costly and cash is in short supply, now more than ever.
A large secondary school, for example, would have to pay about £200,000 to switch from fluorescent lights to energy-saving LEDs (light emitting diodes). The upfront cost is high, but the long-term savings are huge, as modern systems are far more efficient – and therefore more environmentally friendly – than the alternatives.
Bright future: The lights at Marlborough College's Victorian cricket pavilion have been replaced with a network of power-saving LEDs by eEnergy
London-based eEnergy helps schools to switch and save money by offering lighting as a service.
The company removes the old kit, installs modern lighting and takes responsibility for maintenance over a given period, normally five to seven years. In return, the school pays a monthly fee, the cost of which is more than 30 per cent lower than its original electricity bill.
The scheme has several benefits. Head teachers can plough the savings into better facilities in the classroom. LEDs are easier on the eyes for teachers and pupils, and – unlike fluorescent lights – they don't contain mercury, making them easier to recycle.
The switch helps schools to contribute to the Government's Green Revolution – a movement that many climate-conscious pupils and their parents are keen to join.
Chief executive Harvey Sinclair co-founded eEnergy in 2014 and lighting as a service has since been adopted by more than 450 schools across the country, including leading boarding school Marlborough College and Belfast Royal Academy, the oldest school in the capital of Northern Ireland.
However, there are more than 32,000 schools in the UK and four fifths of them still rely on old lighting, so eEnergy has plenty of potential for growth and demand has been rising. The firm has been expanding fast in other areas too.
Care homes have been subscribing to its service and a pilot project is underway at a large hospital with more NHS Trusts in the pipeline.
Sinclair has also had several successes in industry, particularly in the food sector. Customers include potato farmers packing their produce in cavernous warehouses, bakers making loaves in the early hours and food manufacturers producing ready meals day and night.
Many of these businesses are keen to move to LED lighting not just because it is more efficient and environmentally friendly, but also because it boosts staff performance.
Workers can see what they are doing more clearly and tend to call in sick less often because the lighting is easier to cope with during long shifts.
Overall, the group has completed more than 1,000 projects and the pace of growth is increasing fast.
This month, Sinclair said turnover for the six months to December 2020 had risen 235 per cent when compared with the same period a year before, and brokers expect sales to soar from £4.5million in the year to June 2020 to £13.8million in the year to June 2021.
The firm is also likely to move into profit for the first time, making about £100,000 compared with a £2million loss last year. Further strong growth is expected in 2022 and beyond.
Currently, eEnergy is valued on the stock market at £35million, but Sinclair is keen to triple the size of the business – and he has an encouraging track record. Aged 49, he has founded several successful firms, including online recruiter The Hot Group, which he set up in 2000 and sold for £50million six years later.
There are no plans to sell eEnergy right now, but plenty of plans to grow it. The group does not just offer lighting.
It also helps companies find the cheapest green energy on the market, and this year Sinclair expects to expand from offering lighting to offering heating as a service too – switching customers from traditional boilers to state-of-the-art heat pumps.
These cost thousands of pounds to instal but they are environmentally friendly and can cut energy bills by more than 50 per cent.
Midas verdict: Companies, schools, hospitals and Government departments are increasingly keen to reduce their carbon emissions. eEnergy offers a simple way to get the job done and save money at the same time. At 14p, the shares are a buy.

Granada In The Rear View
Granada, Spain conjures up visions of the fabled history of Andalusia, the breath-taking magnificence of the Alhambra, the Moorish conquerors turned overlords.
But Granada, Nicaragua? Before our Nicaragua sojourn our conversations with travelers suggested to us that we would prefer Leon, Granada’s sister city on Lake Managua, which is the larger of the two cities, the liberal bastion, the university town. Granada is smaller, more commercial, more conservative, favored by tourists seeking more amenities. We were fully prepared to be drawn more to Leon; so it came as somewhat of a surprise that we were captivated by Granada, Nicaragua.
In Granada the colonial architecture around the city is being refurbished and upgraded; its charm enhanced with each renovation. The city has begun to effectively lure the tourist – the more affluent class beyond the transient, back-packer crowd.
Avenida Calzada, jutting out of Parque Central, is a vital, bustling, pedestrian thoroughfare crowded with restaurants catering to many tastes. The adjoining streets offer more eateries, watering holes, souvenir shops selling traditional handicrafts and shops seeking to accommodate the needs of a growing city.
Scattered around the historic city center are the cathedrals and churches which lend an air of dignity and accentuate the beauty of the skyline. Breezes blowing off Lake Nicaragua help cool the air, in all but the dry season, vitalizing the city.
The physical expression of a city is fundamentally important; it’s the first impression, it’s what keeps you wanting to dig deeper, to know more. And what began to emerge, what drew us back for the third and extended stay was the relaxed feel and hospitality exerted by the expat community of varying backgrounds and nationalities. There is an eclectic mix of full-time residents, part-time residents and visitors driven by a multitude of personal motivations. The mix includes retirees, entrepreneurs, gap-year students, NGO professionals, volunteers, vagabonds and thrill-seekers. And most have those ex-pat qualities of gregariousness and affability. It is the norm to run into acquaintances on any short journey as we walk about the city and, since shank’s mare is the preferred mode of travel, social contact is amplified.
To augment the welcoming ambiance provided by the architecture and the expats, there is also the availability of world-class medical care and international transportation options found in the capital, Managua, just a short drive north of Granada. Vivian Pellas Medical Center, a newly constructed facility and private hospital, offers exceptional health care services at extremely affordable costs; it’s possible to ensure medical coverage through a monthly payment option. International flights are readily available at the Augusto C. Sandino International Airport to whisk tourists and expats to the States, Canada or any onward destination. Tica Bus Line has daily routes to all the capital cities in Central America and Mexico, so low-cost modes of transport are available for shorter jaunts.
So it’s hard to leave a city that we have come to appreciate and friends with whom we’ve had great conversations and with whom we could develop deeper bonds given more time. But we both agree that it’s time for new experiences and locations; time to leave a city and a country that have imprinted themselves upon us and move south, leaving Granada in the rear view.

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment not just in the UK, but in the world. It’s hardly surprising, when you think about it; after all, who doesn’t desire a beautiful, dazzling, bright white smile? With the number of products out there that claim to whiten your teeth, it can be somewhat tricky to navigate the industry, however. Here, we look at how to get the best out of your teeth whitening treatment.
Walk into the chemist or the supermarket and you are likely to see lots of products that claim to whiten teeth – toothpastes, dental floss, mouthwashes, special gels. . . These products are likely to be safe enough, but they are also likely to be ineffective, leaving your teeth much the same colour. Sometimes, if you have enamel erosion, they can also contribute to tooth sensitivity.
There are lots of “traditional” teeth whitening methods being bandied about at the moment, too. These range from charcoal to turmeric. Alternative and complimentary medicines can be useful for some things (clove oil as temporary relief from toothache, for example). However, there is little in the way of verifiable independent evidence out there to back up these teeth whitening claims.
Whilst the products bought from high street shops and the natural remedies mentioned above are unlikely to do you much harm, the same can’t be said for unlicensed whitening providers or products bought from the internet. The only way to enjoy safe and effective teeth whitening is to visit a dentist. Dove Dental Care in Derby offers professional, home-based teeth whitening treatment.
Home teeth whitening is one of the easiest methods, with no impact on your lifestyle, because you wear custom-made mouth trays filled with whitening gel overnight for about a fortnight. Your dentist still overseas your treatment, to ensure it is safe.
As with any type of cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening should only take place in a healthy mouth, and only a dentist is able to both diagnose and treat oral health concerns prior to your whitening beginning.
Whitening is suitable for most people and treats many types of tooth stain. However, if you or your stains aren’t suitable, a cosmetic dentist can offer many alternative solutions.

As usual you don’t need special footwear. It is possible to use socks or soft shoes, because traditionally it is practiced barefoot. There are some other things you should know about yoga clothes: – Comfort should be your main consideration. Be careful that your clothes allow freedom of movement. Make sure that your blood circulation does not come to harm. Prefer loose clothes. – Traditionally, yoga was practiced barefoot. So circumstances alter cases, you may get specially designed shoes or socks. – Another important factor is sweat absorption. Draw attention to organic cotton shirts, they absorb sweat more easily and also retain breath ability and comfort. – Practice a couple of poses in your new clothes before yoga training. Keep watch if they retain freedom of movement. – Also, commit to memory: don’t wear any jewelry in yoga class. It will only make problems and append discomfort.

Comparison Test of the Honor MagicBook 14iction Intel Edition
The Honor MagicBook 14 2021 Intel Edition features an ultra modern design that is stylish, powerful and extremely refined. If you are looking for a laptop that has all the key elements of great design combined together, the Honor MagicBook is a fine option. The previous version of this laptop came with an AMD processor, but the upgrade to Intel made it a better value. I’m not sure why there’s an extra expense, but it does make the laptop much more powerful. You get excellent specifications for only a couple of hundred dollars more than the old model, which certainly makes it a great value.
The latest laptop from Honor, the Honor MagicBook 14 21001, comes with a very large display, a wide viewing angle, a comfortable keyboard and the latest cooling systems. It also boasts a backlit keyboard, which adds to the comfort and ease of using the laptop. The screen is an eleven-inch capacitive touch screen, which is sharp and bright. It has a high-glossy matte finish, making the screen easy to use.
The keyboard on the laptop is a full sized keyboard with large, high density keys, providing excellent tactile feedback. Although the keyboard on the old model was fine, the newer keyboard has some nice additions, such as larger function buttons and dedicated arrow keys, which make working on the trackpad a joy. I would have liked a full-size keyboard with dedicated keys as the trackpad is just as small as it is on some of my other laptops. One of the keys on the left side of the keyboard is actually divided into two keys, making entering text a much easier task. One thing I would like to say about the keyboard on this laptop is that the wrist rest is too short for my taste, however the additional keys do provide for some additional comfort.
The battery life on the Honor MagicBook 14 2100 Intel Edition lasted over eight hours. With the battery life, I was able to completely remove the laptop from my back pack, allowing it to be carried around without any concerns about being on the go. When I used the laptop, I found that it boots up quickly and navigates quickly, providing excellent support for my typing tasks. The screen brightness is great for reading, with accurate color representation, especially when watching videos on YouTube. The speakers on the laptop were a bit loud for my needs, but the surround sound feature definitely added to the enjoyment I got from using the laptop.
Compared to the older i7 series of laptops, the Honor MagicBook was not much faster. However, with the newer Intel processors inside, the performance increase was noticeable. It appears to be mostly because of the it’s enhanced cores and threads, which allow for greater speed and performance on this laptop. When upgrading to the i7 series, my netbook would frequently freeze up and I would have to restart the operating system.
One of the better features on the Honor MagicBook 14 is its battery life, which lasted over eight hours on a single charge. Considering the fact that I regularly use internet applications, this was not bad at all. When considering the battery life of netbooks these days, I am pleased that the Honor MagicBook 14 comes with a high battery life. The lack of an external keyboard also saved me a lot of time when typing. If you plan on using your laptop for extended periods of time, consider buying a keyboard, especially if you are going to be typing a lot.
A new feature that I am happy about is the fact that the Honor MagicBook 14 can handle dual core processors. It seems like many laptop computers that are in the markets today are only able to handle one or two cores. These dual core processors make your laptop much faster, which means that you will be able to do more work and faster when using your computer. However, my laptop had difficulty operating under load of multiple programs at the same time. When I activated the dual core processor feature on my laptop, everything became much easier to handle.
When looking at the price of these laptops compared to the previous generation laptops, I am very impressed. Even though the price is a bit higher, the performance is much better. There is a lot of power packed into these laptops. The Honor MagicBook 14 comes with an innovative cooling design that keeps your laptop from overheating. With the extra cooling fan and aluminum heat sink, I am sure that you will not regret your purchase.

Furries Have Entered the Political Chat, and It Is Glorious
Furries shall join the K-Pop stans in political history.
Four Seasons Total Landscaping, the sad, unintentional resting place of the Trump Campaign, is quickly becoming the DashCon of politics, a fact that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Internet. Yes, there’s already a ball pit meme, along with a weekend’s worth of unadulterated joy after days of election stress. Honestly, it’s been the 2020 redemption arc we deserve, and now? It’s been immortalized in VR by an adorably crafty furry who’s somehow managed to be pettier than me in regards to our orange stain of a soon-to-be former president.
Ha ha ha OMG! The grand debut of Four Seasons Total Landscaping was AMAZING! Thank you to everyone who showed up! pic.twitter.com/2c5KQKQwgC
— coopertom (@thecoopertom) November 9, 2020
I’m so here for all of this.
Fursuiter/YouTuber Coppertom, inspired by a friend’s suggestion (whoever you are, you’re my hero now), set to work to recreate the true Trump press conference experience of 2020—a space that dares to ask the burning question, “How did it come to this?” Coopertom has perfectly captured the essence of what many of us have been feeling since we escaped last Tuesday.
Time to make VR world: 5 1/2 hours
Number of views on Twitter: over a million
Bringing joy to the Internet: priceless
The video Coppertom shared shows several furries gathering together and laughing in disbelief over how detailed the space is. I’m laughing with them. It’s incredible how similar it looks to the real site of the Trump campaign’s post-election press conference site, right down to the water hose on the brick wall. As one furry says in utter awe, “This is some Half-Life nonsense.”
This feels somewhat reminiscent of the sheer power we witnessed with the K-Pop community over the summer, back when they took to social media to flood cringey hashtags like #MAGA and #BlueLivesMatter. Scrolling the tags on Instagram, for example, led to fancams of K-Pop groups, gifs, and pictures, instead of the thin blue line that makes my ass itch. It reached a point where people would straight up ask if K-Pop Twitter could show up to flood distasteful tags. “BLACKPINK in your area” indeed.
This furry meetup reminds me of what happens when these communities unify. It’s not taking down any insidious hashtags this time around, but it is highlighting how absolutely relieved many folks are knowing that Trump (or “Dump,” as Coppertom changed it to later) is leaving soon. Like … it’s ok to laugh again, y’all. It’s ok to gather a bunch of furry pals and just … be.
Coppertom’s video is a gem, especially to my convention-going heart. This is the kind of unpredictable, heartwarming chaos you get when you step into a hotel or convention center and lose yourself for a weekend. The convention scene is a place of comfort for many, and with them being gone for the past couple of months, I’ve missed that sense of community and freedom. For a weekend, a lot of us are unapologetically ourselves, and in this video, that’s the exact vibe I get. The fact that it’s in a replica of the ultimate political ball pit is just … *chef’s kiss.*
To continue the good community vibes, Coppertom shared another video thanking everyone and being blown away by the amount of love their VR space has gotten. No thanks necessary, Coppertom. Trust me, you brought a smile to this Black queer nerd girl’s face. If we ever run into each other at a convention (whenever they return), you’re getting the biggest hug from me.
Today has been such an incredible day. I never expected this would happen. I’m sorry, I get a bit choked up towards the end of the video. You’re all beautiful people. pic.twitter.com/50Fc3w7voK
