The primary purpose of this paper was to demonstrate how modem motion tracking technologies, i.e., the Hock of Birds, and computer visualization graphics may be used in a clinical setting. The idea that joint injury reduces proprioception was investigated, and data for injured subjects were compared to data for noninjured subjects (subjects in all experiments were college students). Two experiments showed that there were no significant losses in joint position sense in knee-injured subjects, and both injured and noninjured groups visually overestimated knee movements. However, injured subjects showed no significant differences when visual reproduction data were compared with actual movement data. In addition, these data indicated that injured subjects may have greater potential for apprehension than noninjured subjects, at least in terms of visual estimation of movement ranges. This is an idea that needs further testing.

A variety of assessment devices have been developed for scientific investigation on human movement that can also be used to assess the progress of a rehabilitation program. The present investigation was undertaken to show how this technology can be combined with the most aggressive type of medical intervention and rehabilitation. Advanced technology was used to assess the physical rehabilitation parameters of active range of motion (AROM) and sport-specific functional progression for an Olympic-caliber diver who had bilateral wrist problems. AROM was measured for both wrists using a Flock of Birds motion-tracking device, and functional progression was assessed with an Advanced Mechanical Technology Inc. force platform for measuring the center of pressure (CP) area. The results of the treatment were clinically favorable, with an increase in AROM and a decrease in the CP area for functional motor control. The technology provided useful information about the progress of a rehabilitation program.

Idiopathic forefoot pain, often termed metatarsalgia, is a common complaint among running athletes. Whereas several causes are often included in the differential diagnosis, Freiberg’s infraction is rarely considered. The signs and symptoms present with Freiberg’s infraction however, can mimic those present with more common forefoot injuries. The article presents the case of a female Division-I college soccer player who developed and was successfully treated for bilateral Freiberg’s infraction. Her initial complaint of unilateral forefoot pain, induced only by vigorous running, progressed to intolerable bilateral forefoot pain with light exercise. Conservative treatment was unsuccessful, and therefore surgery was required to enable her continued athletic participation. As with all weight-bearing joints, clinicians need to be aware of the potential for progressive degenerative changes at the metatarsal heads and the steps used in the evaluation and subsequent treatment of Freiberg’s infraction

Flexibility is promoted as essential to physical fitness, but the mechanisms limiting it are not fully understood.
To investigate the effects of general anesthesia on hamstring extensibility.
Hospital operating room.
Eight volunteers undergoing orthopedic surgeries unrelated to the tested limb.
Three measurements of passive knee extension (PKE) taken before and after administration of general anesthesia. The force applied during the measurements was consistent between trials.
Mean PKE range of motion (ROM) was significantly greater before anesthesia (75.0° ± 11.8°) than after (53.3° ± 17°; t = 5.6, P < .001). Pearson product correlation revealed a significant correlation between the mean difference in PKE ROM between treatment conditions and subjects’ body weight (r = .91, P < .05).
The findings might be attributable to diminished neural drive to the antagonist muscle groups and suggest a more complex neural control of flexibility than simply neural drive to an agonist muscle.

Assessment and enhancement of joint position sense is an inexact science at best. Anew method of evaluating and improving this sense using motion-tracking technology that incorporates computer visualization graphics was examined. Injured and healthy subjects were evaluated for their abilities to determine shoulder joint position, after abduction, in two tasks. The first was active reproduction of a passively placed angle. The second was visual reproduction of such an angle. A training protocol was added to determine the effectiveness of proprioceptive training in conjunction with 3-D visualization techniques. The primary findings were (a) a significant difference (p = .05) in the level of joint position sense in injured vs. healthy subjects; (b) significantly less accurate reproduction of larger shoulder abduction vs. the smaller movement in the active reproduction task; (c) significantly greater ability to accurately reproduce angles actively vs. visually; and (d) that proprioception training using 3-D visualization techniques significantly increased active and visual reproductions of passively placed angles.

Prior investigations using ice, massage, or exercise have not shown efficacy in relieving delayed-onset muscle soreness.
To determine whether a compression sleeve worn immediately after maximal eccentric exercise enhances recovery.
Randomized, controlled clinical study.
University sports medicine laboratory.
Fifteen healthy, non-strength-trained men, matched for physical criteria, randomly placed in a control group or a continuous compression-sleeve group (CS).
Methods and Measures:
Subjects performed 2 sets of 50 arm curls. 1RM elbow flexion at 60°/s, upper-arm circumference, resting-elbow angle, serum creatine kinase (CK), and perception-of-soreness data were collected before exercise and for 3 days.
CK was significantly (P < .05) elevated from the baseline value in both groups, although the elevation in the CS group was less. CS prevented loss of elbow extension, decreased subjects’ perception of soreness, reduced swelling, and promoted recovery of force production.
Compression is important in soft-tissue-injury management.

Even man’s best friend gets sick from time to time. While some diseases can be kept away from dogs by vaccination, others often come as a surprise. Therefore, it makes sense to have a set of medicines at home.
What Diseases Can Dogs Have?
The dog’s gastrointestinal tract is particularly sensitive so sooner or later every dog owner will be confronted with diarrhea in their dog. Constipation, vomiting, and heartburn are also not uncommon.
Problems with the musculoskeletal system also often occur, arthrosis being the best-known example. Bladder infections, false pregnancies, respiratory and eye problems, and allergies are also common. Many dogs also suffer from anal gland problems.
Which Illnesses Can the Owner Treat Themselves?
Owners can initially treat diarrhea themselves by having the dog fast for 24 hours. After this period of fasting, careful feeding with special bland foods is recommended: rice, chicken, and carrot mash show good results.
The first symptoms of osteoarthritis can be treated well with natural remedies. Slight lameness caused by jumping can be treated by the dog owner.
However, most diseases require veterinary treatment, respiratory and eye problems, allergies, cystitis, and false pregnancies should be clarified by a specialist.
How and with which medicines and home remedies can the typical diseases be treated?
If the dog tends to have conjunctivitis, this can be treated with Euphrasia (eyebright). Traumeel and Zeel are recommended for bruises, sore muscles, and other joint and tendon problems. Problems with the musculoskeletal system can also be treated with vitamin B tablets. Especially with joint problems, the administration of green-lipped mussel powder and devil’s claw has also proven to be effective.
Nux Vomica, charcoal tablets, healing earth, and gastrosel can be given against diarrhea and vomiting. Charcoal tablets are also useful as a first-aid measure if the dog has ingested poison.
What is the Best Way to Administer Medication to Dogs?
When administering medication, the approach depends on the form of the medicine. Medications typically come in tablet and liquid forms. Basically, care should be taken to ensure that the medication is administered without haste and is a positive experience for the dog. Medications in liquid form are most easily drawn up in a syringe and given into the mouth. The dog’s head should be raised slightly and the liquid gently squirted into the mouth.
It makes sense to hide pills in a piece of liverwurst. Many dogs quickly see through this trick and sort out the pills. It is, therefore, easiest to give the tablet directly into the dog’s mouth. The mouth is carefully opened with the thumb and the tablet is pushed into the mouth. The head should remain slightly elevated and not released until the dog has swallowed.
Where Can These Drugs be Bought?
In any case, it is advisable for dog owners to put together a small dog pharmacy. Since local pharmacies rarely carry all the medications for dogs mentioned here, it makes sense to order them online from a provider such as a shop pharmacy.
If the veterinary pharmacy is put together sensibly for the dog, in many cases there is no need to visit a veterinarian. In addition to the medications mentioned here, the veterinary pharmacy may also have bandages available if, for example, the dog steps on a broken piece of glass and injures itself. A veterinarian does not always have to be consulted, especially for the initial treatment of minor ailments. However, if you are not sure whether the measures you have taken are sufficient, then going to the doctor is of course mandatory.

Why is Hulu getting rid of Stargate?
It was announced on Monday, August 20th that Hulu would be discontinuing the Stargate franchise. This decision came as a surprise to many, as Stargate has been a mainstay on the streaming service for many years.
In a statement released by Hulu, they said that they were “committed to delivering the best possible experience” and that “parting ways with Stargate was a difficult decision.” They did not provide any further explanation for the decision.
The Stargate franchise has been around for more than 25 years. It began with the 1994 movie Stargate, which told the story of a group of soldiers who travel through a portal to another planet. The movie was a success, and it spawned a TV series, Stargate SG-1, which aired for 10 seasons.
Stargate SG-1 was not the only TV series set in the Stargate universe. There were also Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. All three series were cancelled by Syfy in 2011.
However, the Stargate franchise continued on Hulu. In 2017, they released a new series, Stargate Origins, which told the story of how the Stargate was first discovered.
Now, it looks like Hulu is discontinuing the Stargate franchise altogether. This decision has left many fans of the series wondering why they made this decision, and what it means for the future of Stargate.
So far, Hulu has not provided any further explanation for why they are getting rid of Stargate. Some have speculated that it may have something to do with the fact that MGM, the studio that owns the Stargate franchise, is currently in bankruptcy.
Others have speculated that Hulu may be planning to create their own Stargate series, and that this decision is simply a way to clear out the old series so they can start fresh.
Only time will tell what the true reason for this decision is, but for now, the future of Stargate remains uncertain.

When I first came to my foster home I had a little shaky that the rescue said was called a seizure. They put me on some medicine and I have NEVER had another shaky again!
The rescue lady tells me that I have heart worms but they are giving me medicine to help me feel better. They told me that the rescue would help my forever family and give them the medicine to treat the nasty heartworms until I am better even once they adopt me!
A little while ago my foster mommy thought my back was a hurting so I got to rest for a while but I am all better and ready for action!
So much bad stuff happened to me because no one loved me and although I am safe with the rescue now I still really really want my own forever family.
All I am asking for is a chance. I am a good good boy. All I need is a little bit of food… maybe a toy? a blankie? a cuddle? In my whole whole little 4 years no one has loved me. Please won’t you LOVE ME?

The "Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act" is a piece of bipartisan legislation drafted to hold websites more accountable for illegal sex activity that takes place online. The tech industry is against the legislation because it's looking out for its own interests, and it's wary of giving up legal protections it has enjoyed for the past 20 years.
Why aren't websites held accountable already?
Past court decisions have upheld Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which has protected websites like Backpage.com from claims of liability for sex trafficking that takes place through its site. The authors of this new legislation argue that Section 230 wasn't meant to protect sites like Backpage that enable sex trafficking.
What would this bill change?
According to the bill's summary:
- Allow victims of sex trafficking to seek justice against websites that facilitated the crimes against them;
- Eliminate federal liability protections for websites that assist, support, or facilitate a violation of federal sex trafficking laws; and
- Enable state law enforcement officials, not just the federal Department of Justice, to take action against individuals or businesses that violate federal sex trafficking laws.
According to Recode, a tech news website, the bill will be discussed at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Sept. 19, which could take it another step closer to being voted on.
Who sponsored the bill?
U.S. Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.) Susan Collins (R-Maine), Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.)

In the age of the internet, almost every aspect of our lives has undergone a digital transformation, and gambling is no exception. Online gambling websites have surged in popularity, reshaping the way we place bets and seek entertainment. This article delves into the world of online gambling, exploring its growth, advantages, and potential pitfalls.
The Online Gambling Boom
Online Gambling: A Thriving Industry
Online gambling has grown into a thriving industry, generating billions of dollars in revenue annually. This rapid growth can be attributed to several factors, including the convenience and accessibility of betting from the comfort of one’s home or mobile device. Whether you enjoy sports betting, casino games, or poker, there is an online platform for every type of gambler.
The Role of Technology
Advancements in technology have played a pivotal role in the success of online gambling websites. High-speed internet connections, secure payment methods, and state-of-the-art gaming software have made it easier than ever for แทงบอลออนไลน์ to participate. Moreover, the rise of mobile gambling apps has made betting on the go a reality.
Benefits of Online Gambling Websites
Convenience and Accessibility
One of the most significant advantages of online gambling is convenience. Players no longer need to travel to physical casinos or betting shops; they can place bets 24/7 from virtually anywhere with an internet connection. This accessibility has democratized gambling, allowing a broader range of people to participate.
Variety of Games
Online gambling websites offer an extensive selection of games and betting options. From traditional casino games like blackjack, roulette, and slots to sports betting, virtual poker rooms, and even live dealer experiences, there’s something for everyone. This variety ensures that players are never bored and can explore different types of betting.
Promotions and Bonuses
Online gambling platforms frequently offer enticing promotions and bonuses to attract new players and reward loyal customers. These incentives can significantly boost your bankroll and enhance your gambling experience. However, it’s essential to read the terms and conditions carefully to understand wagering requirements and withdrawal restrictions.
While online gambling offers many benefits, it also presents risks, particularly in terms of addiction. The convenience and ease of access can lead to compulsive gambling behaviors for some individuals. It’s crucial to gamble responsibly, set limits, and seek help if you believe you may have a gambling problem.
Security is a significant concern when gambling online. Players must choose reputable websites that employ robust encryption and fair gaming practices. Be cautious of unlicensed or offshore operators, as they may not offer the same level of security and fairness.
Online gambling regulations vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another. Some countries have strict laws in place to protect consumers, while others have a more laissez-faire approach. Before engaging in online gambling, it’s essential to understand the legal landscape in your region and ensure you are gambling within the boundaries of the law.
Online gambling websites have transformed the way people bet and seek entertainment. With their convenience, variety of games, and enticing bonuses, they offer a compelling alternative to traditional gambling venues. However, it’s crucial to approach online gambling responsibly, keeping in mind the potential risks and pitfalls associated with this digital betting revolution. By doing so, you can enjoy the excitement of online gambling while protecting your financial and emotional well-being.

In addition to some incredible riding – think mesa-spattered desert highways snaking through antelope-grazing flatlands and rolling hillsides – Sturgis also offers a spectacular nightlife, whether you’re interested in sipping moonshine and getting tattooed, ordering shots from a bikini’d bartender, people-watching downtown, or kicking up your feet at one of dozens of concert venues with world-class lineups.
A quick ride from the buzzing chaos of downtown Sturgis, just past the monumental Bear Butte, sits a rally-week motorcyclist’s oasis: the Broken Spoke Saloon and Campground. In its 25th year, the Broken Spoke boasts a camp site, a general store, a legendary warehouse-sized saloon, and three stages – poolside, saloon, and main stage – for their long list of entertainment which, among DJs and a sideshow, included a roster of bands with headliners like Queens of the Stone Age, Korn, and the Black Crowes, who played the Spoke on Sunday, Aug. 4, just before their appearance at the Peach Music Festival in Scranton last weekend.
Knoxville, Tenn., sextet the Dirty Guv’nahs served up smooth, playful Americana that warmed the crowd like a glass of good sipping whiskey. Stagehands lit incense and left it at the foot of the mic which, along with the backdrop of the Black Hills, set the tone for Sunday’s sensational show. The Black Crowes have been playing for decades, which is apparent in their symbiotic performance. The six-piece, multi-platinum alt-country rockers broke a two-year hiatus for their “Lay Down with Number 13” tour, which is currently traveling the states.
The Crowes – frontman Chris Robinson, guitarist Rich Robinson, drummer Steve Gorman, bassist Sven Pipien, and hat-enthusiast/guitarist Jackie Green – captivated the crowd with their spot-on timing and stage presence, rolling through harmonica-laced hits and jammed-out ballads, including a 10-minute “Wiser Time,” wrapping up with the soulful “Movin’ on Down the Line” and chart-toppers like “She Talks to Angels.” Though the band went without onstage banter, singer Robinson’s ecstatic dance moves spoke with the constant fluid energy of the performance, whether he swayed open-armed, clapped daintily, or tossed an invisible melody picked up by the guitars and keys.
Within the first few songs, the standing-room-only stagefront was crowded with bikers and campers grooving along. The saloon’s decks also filled up quickly with their cozy seating and impeccable sound just a few steps away from the bars. While I caught a ride from Wyoming, plenty of campers rode from as far as the East Coast – and further.
“It’s always been a dream to come to Sturgis,” exclaimed Carla Ruscoe, who flew to the States with friends. “We actually rode up from Vegas on bikes,” said the Aussie, who will roadtrip around the U.S. for about a month after the rally.
Like many Sturgis venues, the Spoke is very veteran-friendly and offers deals on food and drink vouchers. The Broken Spoke is currently running an Early Bird Special for campers who are ready to book a reservation, starting at $99/person, which includes access to all campground amenities – including next year’s shows!

Acrosss the country, public health professionals, parents, professors and physicians are mobilizing to show their support for the Clean Power Plan. This, following an announcement earlier in the month that air pollution is now the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Health experts and concerned citizens alike are drawing public attention to the health costs of emissions from power plants. In Ohio alone, as Midwest Energy News points out below, an analysis prepared last summer found that resuming the state's renewable energy and energy efficiency standards next year could help avoid 2,820 premature deaths, 4,470 heart attacks and 44,390 asthma attacks between 2017 and 2029. “If we have the evidence that cleaning up the standards will protect society, then I think it is fair to think we are putting on more burdens that can be preventable,” said pediatric physician Benjamin Kopp. Ready to rally?

The longer Ohio waits to cut air emissions from power plants, the more adverse illnesses it can expect for its citizens, say health and environmental advocates.
Members of Moms Clean Air Force and Environment Ohio gathered in Dublin, Ohio, on February 19 to show support for the Clean Power Plan and call for improvements in Ohio’s air quality.
That same day, Ohio and about 20 other states joined with large coal companies and electric utilities to file their joint brief urging a federal court to invalidate those rules.
‘Seeing real changes’
Speakers at the February 19 program in Columbus included Richard Hicks of the Columbus Public Health Department, Laura Burns of Moms Clean Air Force, Matt Keyes from the office of U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, and Benjamin Kopp, a pediatric physician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and associate professor at The Ohio State University in Columbus.

So, what should residence buyers do to be able to get ahead of competition if and when issues get tighter in actual estate markets? You need to arm yourself for the expected bidding war that you will have to face as soon as you locate your perfect home property. Whilst other people examine the transaction being purely dictated by the roll of the dice, its extremely critical for significant home buyers to prepare for transactions which will involve multi-bid property trenches. Do not commence along with your house-hunting unless you have a pre-approved mortgage. This is incredibly critical given that this event will enable you to decide your budget range based on the maximal financing that is available to you. Once you might have your mortgage application pre-approved, you not merely establish your ceiling within your property buying but also focus on the proper property segment or category. You might seek the expert assistance of a licensed and competent broker to ensure that you will have the ability to establish and figure out your best possibilities. You are going to also be perceived by sellers as a significant buyer as soon as you have a pre-approved mortgage.It isnt wise to engage in a rat race when acquiring your dream residence. Even so, in case you are severe in bidding for a particular party, it can be extremely recommended that you simply perform a comparative analysis of the real estate marketplace. In short, youve got to carefully assess the fair market value of the house property that you are interested in and compare the value with the fair market value of similar property inside the same region. In this way, youll be able to figure out whether or not you might be getting inside your means or not. Do not make impossible demands or unusual requests. For example, it may not be wise to incorporate in your terms of an agreement that the home purchase will be predicated by the sale of your current house property. Adding contingency clauses to address extenuating conditions can result in the failure of negotiation with the seller. having a mortgage is easier when you have a Mortgage Broker Calgary doing the process for you.
Allocate a budget for the proper pre-purchase house inspection. This is about 1 percent of the propertys asking price. This is one expense item that you simply cant do without having. If the property has severe flaws and underlying structural problems, then its finest that you have a detailed assessment report by a reputable home inspection specialist prior to proceeding with the negotiation.
As a wise property buyer, you need to look beyond the icing of the house property for sale. You have to separate the substantial aspects from the fluff to be able to make an accurate assessment of the accurate value of the home property. This means which you need to discount inside your value assessment those gorgeous draperies and Persian rugs. It can be also crucial that you look beyond the drama and impact created by fresh coat of paint in both the interior and exterior of the home property. This could be just a smokescreen to conceal the real state of the property for sale.

Seven former Brazilian justice ministers have declared their support for the decriminalization of drug possession for personal use, mirroring a regional shift in thinking on drug policy that the Brazilian government has so far resisted.
The letter signed by the ex-ministers affirms their view that repressive laws against drug possession for personal use are unconstitutional, and that "each citizen has the freedom to construct his own way of life provided that he respects the space of others."
The former ministers voiced their position the day before the House of Representatives was set to vote on the modification of existing drug laws. The vote was postponed because of disagreement on measures including the forced hospitalization of addicts and the creation of a drug user database, reported Jornal do Brasil.
InSight Crime Analysis
The debate on drug policy in Latin America has recently been moving away from a repressive approach that emphasizes law enforcement. The presidents of Guatemala, Colombia and Mexico have led the way in calling for a paradigm shift on drug policy and have requested renewed debate at a global level. The government of Uruguay, meanwhile, is currently promoting legislation that would legalize the consumption of cannabis.
While some Brazilian states have tried novel approaches in terms of drug policy -- including the mandatory hospitalization of crack addicts -- overall Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has remained staunchly opposed to any form of legalization. This position which is unlikely to change soon despite the intervention of the seven political heavyweights.

The stars have taken to Twitter to assure folks that they're safe after a report surfaced claiming that gunfire broke out at a Los Angeles location where the Showtime series was shooting.
According to TMZ, the show was filming at a housing project in South Central Los Angeles Friday when shots were fired, the result of an alleged gang-related incident.

Just nine days after saying "I do" to longtime beau Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell is feeling the newlywed bliss.
"I'm still on a high," she told PEOPLE at Saturday's Frozen press junket in New York. "We actually did it. I can officially call him my husband, which is pretty awesome. Other than that, it feels exactly the same."
Engaged since 2009, Bell, 33, and Shepard, 38, quietly wed at the Beverly Hills County Clerk's Office on Oct. 17. The couple, who are parents to 7-month-old daughter Lincoln, waited to tie the knot until California legalized same-sex marriage, which happened in June.
With a healthy baby and a loving bond with her Parenthood actor husband, "Life is great," said Bell. "I couldn't be happier."

The actors have been together since 2007 and have a 7-month-old daughter, Lincoln, born in March. They have always maintained they would not wed until gay couples could legally do so in the state of California.
"We would feel weird taking advantage of a right that's not available to certain citizens of the state we live in," Bell, who stars on House of Lies, told PEOPLE in August 2012.

May 02--'PARKS & RECREATION'
Last week, NBC announced renewals of several shows. (More on that in a bit.) But one show that was glaringly absent is this one. To which I shout at NBC, "Seriously?!" This sweet show most certainly should be renewed, especially with "The Office" going off the air and the likely demise of "Community." While I wait for NBC to make up its mind, I'll enjoy this finale, which caps a season of romance, unexpected relationships and some pretty hilarious commentary on government. Leslie (Amy Poehler) has finished her first year as a city council member, and while that fulfills her long-held dream, she realizes there is more to do with her life. Could a family with Ben be on the way? April (Aubrey Plaza) finally seems to be growing up, and, according to NBC, she'll "get some life-changing news." Interpret as you wish. 9:30 p.m. NBC
The Huffington Post put it best last Friday: Can we stop worrying about Pam and Jim? After a season where our favorite office couple's relationship kept declining -- they even sent themselves to couple's therapy -- it seemed last week that those crazy kids are going to be OK. The final scene with Pam and Jim simply hugging, no clinging to each other, was one of my favorites this season. As we tick to the series finale, we'll have an hour-long episode that starts setting up how the Dunder-Mifflin folks will carry on when the cameras stop. 8:30 p.m. NBC
"Two and a Half Men" will be back next season, CBS announced, but reports indicate that Angus Jones (aka "The Half") will not be back as a regular. This isn't a surprise, given his January outburst about the show. 8:30 p.m. CBS
Remember the possible spin-off of "The Vampire Diaries" that was introduced last week? "The Originals" was a success, and the CW announced it will become a full-fledged show. The CW also renewed "Beauty and the Beast" and "Hart of Dixie."
About NBC: "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Chicago Fire," "Parenthood," "Revolution" and "Grimm " will be back.

Steroid hormones like testosterone and estradiol are able to pass through the phospholipid membrane of a neuron. Some neurons express receptors for these hormones. Androgen receptors bind androgens like testosterone while estrogen receptors bind estrogens like estradiol. When a hormone binds to a receptor in the neuron, the hormone-receptor complex dimerizes and moves into the nucleus where it can bind to specific sites on the DNA and act as a transcription factor to turn on or off certain genes.
Testosterone Pathways in the Cell
When the testes secrete testosterone during the prenatal critical period, the effect is to masculinize and defeminize the brain, body, and behavior, and this is accomplished through the transcription of a specific set of genes. However, many of those genes are not transcribed by the action of androgen receptors interacting with the DNA. When testosterone enters the cell, it does not always bind to androgen receptors. Some neurons also express proteins that can break testosterone down into its metabolites. 5-alpha reductase converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, another androgen that is able to bind the androgen receptor. The enzyme aromatase converts testosterone into estradiol, an estrogen that can bind to the estrogen receptor.
In some mammals, like rodents, this conversion of testosterone to estradiol is the main process by which neurons and the brain are masculinized. The estrogen receptors cause the transcription of masculinizing genes. Therefore, somewhat surprisingly, even though estrogen is typically thought of as a female hormone, its actions during development are responsible for much of the masculinization that occurs in the brain in some animals. It should be noted, though, that estrogen does not appear to have these same masculinizing effects during human development.
- Steroid hormones can cross the phospholipid bilayer
- Hormone receptors dimerize, move to the nucleus, and act as transcription factors
- In the cell, testosterone can
- Bind to androgen receptors
- Be converted to dihydrotestosterone by 5-alpha reductase
- Be converted to estradiol by aromatase
- In some animals, estradiol action is responsible for the transcription of masculinizing and de-feminizing genes

Wireless Electrical and Electromagnetic Pollution News17 January 2012
In 2002, World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Gro Harlem Brundtland told journalists that microwaves emitted
by cellphones made her sick, even if the phone only turned on and hidden in a pocket or purse located up to four meters away. Nonetheless, the World Health Organization stated in 2005 that electrosensitivity symptoms may be of psychosomatic origin, a claim French oncologist Dominique Belpomme says is refuted recent discoveries.
"We know with certainty that electromagnetic hypersensitivity is not psychosomatic", Dr Dominique Belpomme stated in a [November 2010] telephone interview. "EMFs provoke major effects in the brain. The most important of these is the opening of the blood-brain barrier. This allows mercury, organochlorines and other pollutants to enter in the brain, where they cause various neurodegenerative diseases. "
A professor of oncology at Paris-Descartes University, Dr. Belpomme is President of the French Association for Research in Therapeutics Against Cancer (www.artac.info), which has shifted in the prevention from 2004. Since May 2008, his team has studied what he coined the Electromagnetic Intolerance Syndrome (SICEM in French). "I have 450 patients and see up to 20 new cases every week, including children who have headaches, impaired memory, concentration or language. We have the largest European cohort of electrosensitive patients. This is a major public health concern."
The SICEM is an extreme reaction to low-level exposure to 50/60 Hz electric and magnetic fields emitted by electrical cables and devices as well as radio frequencies (10 MHz to 300 GHz including microwave) from wireless devices and antennas.
Others move into forests, caves or other remote locations if they are unable to find a low-EMF environment where their symptoms can recede or disappear.
Second, there is the susceptibility factor demonstrated by Swedish oncologist Lennart Hardell who studied 16 families who were electrosensitive because of shared genetic factors. There are also active susceptibility factors, "such as dental amalgam that behave like antennas capturing airwaves'', explains Belpomme.
ARTAC's scientific council is chaired by virologist Luc Montagnier, 2008 co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in medicine as co-discoverer of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) believed to cause AIDS. And its research coordinator is doctor of nutrition Philippe Irigaray, one of five international experts recently appointed by Quebec's Health Research Fund to select the most promising research projects in environmental cancer prevention. Dr Irigaray stresses that the human brain contains magnetosomes, iron oxides that behave like magnets. Electrosensitivity may depend on their quantity, which varies from one individual to another.
In France, an estimated 5% of the population is already electrosensitive, and the proportion is constantly increasing with the ever growing popularity of wireless technologies. "Studies show that 10 to 50% of the population may become very intolerant to EMFs over the next 25 to 50 years, Dr Belpomme said. I have two cases of multiple sclerosis triggered after prolonged use of a cell phone, three cases of breast cancer - two recurrences after exposure to EMFs and one case related to the use of computers - and anecdotal evidence also for autism and Alzheimer's disease whose risk is much higher than for cancer. Causal links with electromagnetic fields are highly possible."
Dr Belpomme said he has relieved some EHS patients by administering medication to tone-up the nervous system and antihistamines to close the blood-brain barrier.
Physicians: Treatment of affected individuals should focus on the health symptoms and the clinical picture, and not on the person's perceived need for reducing or eliminating EMF in the workplace or home. This requires:
- a medical evaluation to identify and treat any specific conditions that may be responsible for the symptoms,
- a psychological evaluation to identify alternative psychiatric/psychological conditions that may be responsible for the symptoms,
- an assessment of the workplace and home for factors that might contribute to the presented symptoms. These could include indoor air pollution, excessive noise, poor lighting (flickering light) or ergonomic factors. A reduction of stress and other improvements in the work situation might be appropriate.''
For her part, Ontario researcher Magda Havas of Trent University said EHS studies with negative results have major biases. "The researchers assumed that reactions to EMFs are immediate, while there is often a delay between exposure and response. People are not switches that can be turned on and off. These studies incorrectly insinuate that if you can not feel anything, it can't harm you. We know very well that we can't detect the taste of arsenic, lead, DDT nor asbestos, but they are all toxic."

Did you know, it is more lucrative to invest in LEGO as compared to gold? According to a study, the valuation of second-hand LEGO sets escalates by 11 percent annually. That’s way faster than the gold’s rate of return, stocks, stamps, or wine. No doubt LEGO Ideas and independent creators have been on a roll lately, announcing cool LEGO sets one after another. You can say LEGO lovers are in ecstasy these days, having a hard time choosing which ones to add to the collection (or should I say investment portfolio) and which ones to let go of.
Designer: Guillaume Roussel
The LEGO M 1000 RR scale model, LEGO Sony PlayStation 5 replica, LEGO Sun Earth Moon Orrery and LEGO DeLorean are all on my checklist. And there’s one more going into the list of LEGO investments to secure my future. This is LEGO Ideas germinated “The Globe” originally thought of by LEGO Group member, Guillaume Roussel who was inspired by the tales of Jules Verne. In the initial phase France-based, LEGO fanatic asked himself the question – “what could be creative, educational, and touch most of the world?” The answer was pretty easy “the world itself’.” Hence, came to life this 2585-piece LEGO set displaying the realistic, and customizable vintage brick-built earth globe.
Once the user assembles the tricky LEGO set piece by piece, it spins too, and the printed names of the continents and oceans glow in the dark. According to LEGO Group Head of Global Marketing for Adults, Federico Begher, ““What is so wonderful about this set is that, with a little imagination, it allows fans to discover the world through LEGO bricks. The globe is a symbol of dreams and aspirations of travel to come for all who are seeking a bit of adventure or for those looking to learn about our world.”
Apparently, this LEGO set for everyone on the planet will arrive on February 1st in the US for $199.99, in Canada for $269.99 and in the UK for £174.99 and €199.99.

MV STRANGFORD (also known as STRANGFORD FERRY, as that was the name she had painted on her hull) was the smaller of the 2 vehicle carrying vessels operating on the link across Strangford Lough between Strangford and Portaferry until the end of 2016. Until the entry into service of the PORTAFERRY II, STRANGFORD FERRY was the main vessel on the route, having launched the vehicle ferry service in 1969. Following PORTAFERRY II‘s arrival her role changed to provide extra capacity on the service during the summer and to cover maintenance on the larger PORTAFERRY II. STRANGFORD FERRY was originally built for Down County Council in 1969, and was earmarked as far back as 2009 for replacement in 2016, by which stage she was operational for some 47 years.
Life extension and replacement
In order to extend her life until 2016 STRANGFORD FERRY received new vehicle ramps and a full repaint following sand blasting during a dry docking at Harland and Wolff in 2011. Despite the delayed entry into service of the new STRANGFORD II, STRANGFORD was removed from service towards the end of 2016, leaving PORTAFERRY II to maintain the lifeline service on her own.
Prior to the arrival of PORTAFERRY II the support vessel on the service was 1962 built PORTAFERRY (ex CLEDDAU KING). She had operated on the route since November 1975 having been purchased from Pembroke County Council for just £43,000 and modified at Harland and Wolff. In early December 2017 it was reported that STRANGFORD, which was now surplus to requirements after the introduction of the brand-new STRANGFORD II, had been sold to Cara na nOilean, owners of the Arranmore Ferry company, for use on their Burtonport to Arranmore Island service off the west coast of Donegal. She left Strangford the last time in February 2018 painted in the red colour scheme of the Cara na nOilean Arranmore Island and Lough Swilly ferry services, calling at Bangor on the way to her new home. It appears though she only ever made it as far as Greencastle, on the Donegal side of Lough Foyle.
On 1st May 2018 NIFS revealed that STRANGFORD was to be used on the Scenic Lough Foyle Ferry service over the early May bank holiday period in place of FRAZER MARINER, which at the time was relieving AISLING GABRIELLE so the latter vessel could have her engines upgraded. On May the 4th she made her maiden commercial voyage across Lough Foyle, renamed STRANGFORD 1, though not carrying her name or port of registry on her hull. Scenic Lough Foyle ferry have confirmed with NI Ferry Site that Frazer Ferries have now purchased STRANGFORD 1, and intend to use her in future as cover for vessel maintenance and surveys.

A bipartisan bill to protect banks that service state-legal marijuana businesses from being penalized by federal regulators has been formally scheduled to receive a House floor vote on Monday, a calendar released by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) office confirms. Marijuana Moment reported on the expected development earlier Friday after obtaining an email that was sent to stakeholders by a staffer for Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), the bill’s sponsor, seeking letters of support for the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act ahead of the anticipated vote. The bill is now officially listed on the majority leader’s agenda of legislation for Monday, with a floor debate expected to happen after 2:30 PM. If a recorded vote is requested, that is projected to take place between 6:30 and 8:00 PM.

Netherlands Experiment in Permissiveness. Over?
An interesting post over at Sisu (hat tip: Instapundit):-
"Escaping the stress of clogged roads, street violence and loss of faith in Holland's once celebrated way of life, the Dutch middle classes are leaving the country in droves for the first time in living memory," writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph.
The new wave of educated migrants are quietly voting with their feet against a multicultural experiment long touted as a model for the world, but increasingly a warning of how good intentions can go wrong.
The illusion that all was well in the Netherlands died in May 2002 when Pim Fortuyn [protesting that Europe's most densely-populated country was full to bursting point and that Muslim immigration, leavened with Salafist extremism, had reached a level where it was starting to destabilise Dutch society itself] was shot by a Left-wing activist in the country's first political assassination since 1584.
Reward anti-social behavior by telling the perpetrator he's a victim of society and it isn't his fault, and like any infant he'll keep on behaving badly.
Amen to that. I've been waiting for many years for the Netherlands experiment in permissiveness (is that a real word?) to collapse in on itself. Looks like it may finally be happening.

"A decision on a name change is due to be made by September, although the much loved zingy
salad cream will still be available to enjoy with exactly the same recipe."
green sauce is the perfect partner for a piece of oily fish.
There are some zingy
yellow highlights to catch the eye as well - Verbascum Gainsborough, frothy lime-green flowers of Alchemilla mollis and Euphorbia characias - and then I'd suggest putting in some citrusy spots of orange courtesy of Geum Totally Tang T erine.
Try the Trilogy Botanical Body Wash (PS16.50 for 500ml available from Debenhams) which contains a balance of zingy
plant extracts and aromatherapy oils.
LEMONADE adds a touch of zingy
sweetness to this non-traditional scone recipe, which uses cream instead of butter and is super quick to make.
But then another layer of crunch, the Space Raiders' zingy
pickled onion firing up your senses as they mingled with the creamy cheese.
With the tournament just days away, the world's largest chain of burger released the new item on their menu, which comes with an innovative 'Vans Soccer ball specification bread roll and a zingy
grilling sauce to 'liven up the World Cup mood' with McDonald's signature salad, beef and cheddar cheese, Metro.co.uk reported.
Rating 2/5 Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Mist, pounds 18 (www.origins.co.uk) THIS zingy
grapefruit-based body mist sounds promising enough to lift any winter blues.
The one-two punch of avocado and salsa wilt keep your taste buds happily ping-ponging between creamy and zingy
. Bonus: the tomato-laden salsa dilutes the avocado, so that each two-tablespoon serving has just 50 calories--about half what you'd get from AvoClassic's regular Guacamole.
The influence is distracting, but it does seem to be a schoolboy crush: Anderson is more self-assured in paintings such as Welcome Series: Carib, 2005, a zingy
interior interpenetrated with exterior views, mixing reflections of a cafe milieu (electric fans, banquettes, posters) with whitewashed architecture behind a stinging diamond-patterned grid that one takes for a window; the WELCOME written across it is presumably ironic, given that the work would seem to convey a divided mind-set, a soul nowhere at home.
The new frozen donuts are sold in packs of 10 mini dipping donuts which can be dipped in the zingy
Jaffa orange and fruity Jammy sauces to create a fun, tasty treat for adults or kids.
ginger-lime syrup to pour on top makes the flavors sing.
The new campaign emphasizes that grapefruit juice is fat-free, hydrating, packed with nutrients and tastes zingy
on the tongue.
Some of the tantalizing treats are: Blender Peanut Butter Muffins, Soft Ginger Cookies, Zingy
Lemon Squares, Flourless Chocolate Cake, and Orange Cappuccino Pudding Cake.
It had a nice crisp, zingy
finish to match the crab to a "T".

In this paper, we present an equivalent current-based numerical routine for calculating the diffraction of arbitrarily curved wedge modeled with non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves and surfaces. The NURBS curves and surfaces obtained from CAD systems need to be parameterized for numerical calculation; however, available parameterizing approaches in rendering computer graphics, which use straight line segments and flat facets for tessellation, are not suitable for the computation of the wedge diffraction. To make the full use of NURBS modeling technique in high-frequency asymptotic approaches, the proposed numerical routine utilizes a curvature adaptive tessellation scheme to parameterize the edge curve of the wedge with varying curvature as well as the method of parameter alignment to maintain the C0 continuity between the edge curve and the wedge surfaces, which is essential in evaluating the diffraction coefficients. Based on the proposed parameterizing method, the equivalent edge current can be implemented for diffraction computation of arbitrarily curved wedge modeled with NURBS curves and surfaces, complementing with the NURBS based physical optics (PO) as a fully NURBS-based high-frequency approach, which provides high geometrical accuracy and computational efficiency for calculating diffraction of electrically large curved wedges. Numerical examples are presented to validate the proposed method.

The Atlanta Kookaburras are at a midway point of their 2017 season with a 2-3 game record. With the Atlanta summer upon us the Kooka's continue to train once a week on Saturday mornings and look forward to some summer local games and of course Summer Social Events. The first of those social events is next Saturday June 24th where we join the party of Atlanta United fans and other supporters for a tailgating extravagnaza and everyone is invited.
In April the Kookaburras took 6 new players for their first game to Nashville in Music City and went down to a more experienced team on the day. Was great to see debuts from, Maggio, Karena, Franchini, Johnson, Wright, Depue and the return of Townley to the Kooka's fold. Our first home game was also a loss unfortunately to Nth Carolina, where each team went goal for goal all through the game until NC pulled away in the last quarter to sink the Kookas first game win of the year. Debuts of Olsen and Drick, the latter who was just walking past the field on the day and decided he wanted to play, were impressive. Old timer Kraska also chipped in for 5 goals.
The Kookaburras first win came a month later in May to the Baton Rough Tigers. Great opponents as always the Kooka's were able to pull away however in the second half for a comfortable 40 point win, with Townley showing his class on one leg kicking 6 goals for the game. Well umpired too by our own Kooka's Life Member Jim Batten.
In June we ventured again to Nashville where they hosted Tampa as well for a three way tourney. The Kookaburras were able to beat a stacked Tampa team full of Nashville alumni back for their 20 year anniversary celebrations, with Aman Mullee on debut for the Kooka's but where unable to hold off the Nashville team in the second game of a very hot day. Wayne Kraska playing his 150th game for the Atlanta Kookaburras had to settle for a disappointing defeat.

The impact of climate change continues to grow over time, and California’s homeowners are paying the price – literally. Recent temperature increases have significantly raised the risk of wildfires in the state. In fact, California’s two largest fires by area burned occurred back-to-back in 2020 and 2021. The insured losses from these two disaster events reached tens of billions of dollars.
Heavy losses from wildfires have forced insurance carriers doing business in the state to reevaluate. The latest insurer to make this difficult decision was State Farm General Insurance Company. Last week, the insurer announced that it was momentarily putting a pause on writing new homeowners and commercial insurance policies in California.
State Farm’s insurance sale pause comes as California’s summer season fast approaches. The state’s wildfire season also falls within the summer period.
While the pause means homeowners can’t buy new policies with State Farm, how does it affect those who are currently policyholders with the carrier?
How the pause affects current policyholders
Homeowners who are currently policyholders with State Farm are unaffected by the new policy pause. The California Department of Insurance (CDI) gave assurances that no nonrenewals are happening with the announcement. State Farm will also continue to write policies for private auto insurance in the state.
Insurance lawsuits still allowed
Even if insurers like State Farm have their misgivings about wildfires, homeowners can still file lawsuits if they think their insurers unfairly denied or underpaid their claims. But because insurance disputes can be tricky, especially when it comes to interpreting provisions and exclusions of a policy, homeowners are going to need an expert to guide them. They might want to hire an insurance lawyer who can offer advice and representation if the dispute is taken to court.
