- This book provides an overview of attentional impairments in brain-damaged patients from both clinical and neuroscientific perspectives, and aims to offer a comprehensive, succinct treatment of these topics useful to both clinicians and scholars. A main focus of the book concerns left visual neglect, a dramatic but often overlooked consequence of right hemisphere damage, usually of vascular origin, but also resulting from other causes such as neurodegenerative conditions. The study of neglect offers a key to understand the brain's functioning at the level of large-scale networks, and not only based on discrete anatomical structures. Patients are often unaware of their deficits (anosognosia), and often obstinately deny being hemiplegic. Diagnosis is important because neglect predicts poor functional outcome in stroke. Moreover, effective rehabilitation strategies are available, and there are promising possibilities for pharmacological treatments. Attention Disorders After Right Brain Damage is aimed at clinical neurologists, medics in physical medicine and rehabilitation, clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists. It will also be useful for graduate students and medical students who wish to understand the topic of attention systems and improve their knowledge of the neurocognitive mechanisms of attentional deficits. In addition, clinical researchers in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience will find in this book an up to date overview of current research dealing with the attention systems of the human brain.

- Exercise and physical functioning in osteoarthritis medical, neuromuscular and behavioral perspectives 2014, SpringerOsteoarthritis (OA) is among the top 10 of most disabling diseases in the Western world. It is the major cause of pain and disability among the elderly. This book provides a contextual review of recent research on neuromuscular factors and behavioral risk factors for functional decline in OA, with a special emphasis on explanatory mechanisms. In addition, the book discusses innovative approaches to exercise and physical activity in OA, derived from research on behavioral and neuromuscular risk factors for functional decline in OA. Recent research has shown that neuromuscular factors (such as muscle strength, joint laxity) and behavioral factors (such as avoidance of activity, depressed mood) predict pain and disability in OA. Furthermore, exercise and physical activity are among the dominant interventions aiming at reducing pain and disability, and innovative interventions targeting neuromuscular and behavioral interventions have been recently developed. This research has been published as separate papers, with the result that the field is in need of an integrative contextual review that puts the research into theoretical perspective.

- Telerehabilitation 2013, SpringerTelerehabilitation, as a subset of telehealth, is the use of telecommunications to deliver rehabilitation services at a distance and can bridge the gaps created by personnel shortages that exist in underserved and remote areas, as well as serve persons in urban settings who cannot easily leave their homes or offices to seek care. Given the mobile nature of our society, telerehabilitation can enable continuity of care while persons travel for work, vacation and/or education. While the technical capacities to conduct telerehabilitation have surged ahead in the past 10 years, there has been slower, yet ongoing progress in the development of the policies (e.g., legislation; state licensure; reimbursement) that will be required to actualize widespread telepractice service delivery. Telerehabilitation presents a wide-angle view of telerehabilitation worldwide at a seminal time in its development. The book contains contributions from authors across multiple disciplines, as well as a consumer-based perspective. This book contributes significantly to the current understanding of telerehabilitation, as well as elucidating the immense potential for telerehabilitation-based service delivery to benefit persons with disabilities.

- Vertigo rehabilitation protocols 2014, Springer"This book describes in detail rehabilitation protocols specific for those disorders that most frequently induce vertigo and dizziness. In particular, it highlights exercise protocols that will enable the best result to be obtained within the shortest time and with the most enduring therapeutic effect. Drawing on their personal experience, the authors describe physical exercises that will prove effective in delivering vestibular rehabilitation all over the world, regardless of the rehabilitation tools available. The protocol standardization and the reduction in instrumental rehabilitation mean that even though some individual tailoring is required, it will be possible to plan cost-effective rehabilitation within both the institutional and the private practice setting. The presented protocols cover vertigo in a wide range of conditions, including acute and chronic vestibular loss, vestibular ataxia, benign positional paroxysmal vertigo, Ménière's disease, dizziness in the elderly, whiplash-associated balance disorders, phobic postural vertigo, and autonomic vertigo. Helpful information is provided on clinical approach to vertigo and dizziness and on vestibular rehabilitation from Cawthorne-Cooksey onward. The quantification of rehabilitation outcome and the role of life-style counseling are also discussed. By documenting effective functional and therapeutic approaches and presenting guidelines for each balance disorder, Vertigo Rehabilitation Protocols will be an invaluable resource for neurologists, ENT physicians, orthopedists, and rehabilitation specialists."--Publisher's website.
- Vocational rehabilitation 2006, Springer
- The new edition of this book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of whiplash-associated disorders, focusing in particular on a functional approach to clinical and instrumental diagnosis and rehabilitative treatment. It fully reflects the changes in our understanding of whiplash injuries since the first edition, and in particular the increased awareness that whiplash is a whole-body trauma in which forces act progressively from the lumbar region to the brain, through the cervical spine. Detailed attention is paid to the functional connections between the sense organs of the inner ear, the sympathetic system, and the spine with a view to optimizing diagnosis and treatment. It is explained how various treatment options can be employed to best effect in patients with different symptoms, following, but updating, the well-known Quebec Task Force guidelines. Underestimated aspects such as positional vertigo, somatic tinnitus, temporomandibular disorders, and back pain are also considered. This book will be an invaluable tool in everyday clinical practice for all who are involved in the diagnosis and treatment of whiplash injury.

The whole point of Eureka Anemos dungeon content, the latest addition to Final Fantasy XIV patch 4.25, is the new set of Anemos gear, which includes the new relic weapon.
In order to get this new powerful weapon, you need to unlock a few other things beforehand and also earn some Protean and Anemos crystals by killing elemental monsters. Follow our step-by-step guide below for more details.
How to Unlock the Eureka Anemos Weapon
Step 1: Obtain Antiquated Weapon
You can obtain an Antiquated weapon or any other Antiquated item in two ways: either by getting it from your coffer of the level 70 final job quest, or by purchasing it from Calamity Salvager.
Calamity Salvager can be found in the following areas:
- The Aftcastle, Limsa
- Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre, Gridania
- Weaver’s Guild, Ul’dah
Step 2: Upgrade Your Weapon
After you’ve purchased an Antiquated weapon from Calamity Salvager, you can take it to Gerolt, a blacksmith, who resides in Port Surgate on Eureka. He will be able to upgrade your weapon to a regular version, and then to +1 and +2 versions, which are necessary for your Anemos weapon.
You also need to have enough Protean crystals to be able to pay for the upgrades. Protean crystals can be obtained by killing elemental monsters on Eureka.
- regular weapon upgrade will cost you 100 Protean crystals
- +1 upgrade will cost you 400 Portean crystals
- +2 upgrade will cost you 800 Protean crystals
Step 3: Unlock Anemos Weapon
In order to upgrade any of the +2 items, you will also need 150 Anemos crystals, which can be exchanged for your Protean crystals.
However, in order to unlock the Anemos weapon, you will also need 3 Pazuzu feathers, which can only be obtained by killing the Pazuzu Bird, which spawns in the Newvoid, west of Eureka, after you defeat Shadow Wraith.
Take the feathers back to Gerolt and upgrade your +2 weapon to Anemos weapon.
That’s how you can unlock the Anemos weapon or any other upgradable item on Eureka, and for other Final Fantasy XIV guides at GameSkinny, please follow the links below:

(WITH VIDEO) 'American Idol' Taylor Hicks entertains, critiques at Orrville Rib and Music Fest
ORRVILLE — Most people may remember Taylor Hicks from winning season five of “American Idol.”
What people may not know is that he is a connoisseur of barbecue. In fact, Hicks is such a fan of the southern fare that he opened a restaurant called Saw’s Juke Joint near Birmingham, Alabama, in 2012, featuring the “best of barbeque, with highlights like grits and greens from the soul kitchen, and a few surprises,” according to its website.
His energetic singing style is what led him to Orrville recently to perform at the Rib and Music Fest. But while he was here, he pulled double duty and helped judge the rib cook-off before taking the stage.
“I’m from the south,” Hicks said after judging the prized ribs. “Barbecue is a staple in Alabama. For me, it comes down to how well they are prepared, the char on the outside. There is an art to it that people do not realize.”
While the char is important, the sauce is something that Hicks doesn’t overlook.
“The sauce shouldn’t drown out the flavor of the meat,” he said. “Everyone gets excited about their sauce, but I like to actually taste the meat as well.”
After Hicks and volunteers from the Orrville Lions Club sampled the entrants, they selected Fine Smoke LLC out of Columbus as the Judge’s Favorite.
Visitors to the event also had a say in the matter, voting for their favorite as well in the People’s Choice category. That honor stayed closer to home as After Hours Barbeque of Orrville took the top honor.
Members of the Lions Club were thrilled to have Hicks judge the event.
“He has been so great to work with,” said event co-chair Deb Mosier. “He was excited to come to Orrville and be a part of it.”
Not only was Hicks excited to come, he initiated the offer.
“I got an email from his management company,” Mosier said. “I didn’t know if it was real or not, but I responded and five minutes later, I received a phone call.”
Hicks is drawn to small towns like Orrville. He has a television show called State Plate. In the show, he travels across the country to sample some of the most unique food America has to offer.

New Delhi/ Srinagar, October 13 The government Wednesday (October 13, 2010) named three new interlocutors, including journalist Dilip Padgaonkar, to re-start the log-jammed political dialogue in Jammu and Kashmir and help bring peace in the troubled state, but the move failed to cut any ice with separatist leaders.
Home Minister P. Chidambaram told reporters in Delhi that "we have appointed the group of interlocutors" that also includes Information Commissioner M.M. Ansari and noted academician Radha Kumar. He said a fourth person may be added later in the panel.
Calling the three "very credible people", the home minister said the government hoped they would "begin a process of sustained uninterrupted dialogue with all sections of people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially with youths and students and all shades of political opinion".
The move, which Chidambaram said was a "clear demonstration of the seriousness on the part of the government of India" to solve the problems that have been there "for many, many years", comes in the wake of renewed unrest in the Kashmir Valley in the last four months that has left at least 109 civilians dead, mostly in firing by security forces.
But it failed to break the ice in the Kashmir Valley that has been bristling with anger amid frequent shutdowns, street protests and curfews since June. Geelani, who heads the hardline faction of the separatist amalgam Hurriyat Conference, said: "This is a futile exercise." "By appointing the interlocutors, India only wants to delay addressing the real issue in Kashmir which is about the demand of freedom by the people," he said.
A supporter of the state's merger with Pakistan, Geelani said any dialogue with New Delhi could be possible only if the government accepted his five-point proposal that includes accepting Kashmir as an "international dispute".
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the chairman of the moderate faction of the Hurriyat Conference, reacted by saying: "Interlocutors are appointed to know the point of view of the groups to be engaged in the dialogue process. The government of India knows our demand for freedom. "What is the role of interlocutors selected from the civil society? We had proposed steps for creation of a conducive atmosphere for the dialogue process to begin and they have been totally ignored."
Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front leader Yasin Malik, who favours independence, added: "It is not the problem of schools and colleges that can be solved by appointing academicians and members of the civil society as interlocutors."
The decision to have a new group of interlocutors was part of the eight-point initiative announced by the government after the Sep 25 cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Chidambaram urged Jammu and Kashmir politicians to engage with the interlocutors "so that we can move forward on the path of finding a solution to the problem". The group will cover the views of all the three regions -- Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir.
The government's earlier move to engage separatist leaders in "quiet diplomacy" had failed in December last year. The process broke down when militants shot and severely injured Hurriyat leader Fazal Qureshi. Qureshi is a senior leader of the Mirwaiz-led Hurriyat faction that had agreed to secretly talk to the central government.
Two of the three new mediators were involved in the Kashmir peace process earlier at different times. Padgaonkar was a member of the Kashmir Committee led by eminent lawyer and now Bharatiya Janata Party MP Ram Jethmalani.


The Hazard Lady Bulldogs played a pair of soccer games this week, going 1-1. The Lady Bulldogs took on district foe Letcher Central early in the week, and finished with a All “A” sectional game against Middlesboro.
The Lady Bulldogs played a tough game against district-leading Letcher Central early in the week. The Lady Bulldogs kept the Lady Cougars under control in the first half, but game up several goals in the second half, to finish with a disappointing 5-0 loss.
On Saturday, Hazard took on the Middlesboro Lady Yellow Jackets in the sectionals of the All “A” state tournament. The Lady Bulldogs got a lone goal from Drew Baker (Keshia Hamblin got the assist). It would be the only goal they would need as their defense shut down Middlesboro’s offense.

Min Jiang is a truly great addition to the restaurant scene and I finally got to try it last night. The setting is beautiful – very light inside, tables were well spaced and a mix of modern and traditional touches in the decor give it a smart look. The outstanding view of London compliments food perfectly. We were only two dining but decided to order as much as we could to share and were not disappointed. Hot and aour soup and crispy salt and pepper squid were so good and the house special of the Peking duck was amazing, as was the creation of the dishes with the remaining duck. Mains of braised pork belly and lobster with noodles were superb. We were quite full from everything so only took a very light dessert of ice creams and sorbets. The wine list was very good with bottles for all pockets and the price of the meal was easily justified by the quality. Service is excellent and knowledgeable. With fantastic service, food and wine, plus a view to die for Min Jiang is going to be a big hit.

Golden Gate is a little urban town here in Florida. It’s mosrlt made up of a lot of older people so for people my age there isn’t much to do. Though, there are a number of places to get good food. Usually on my free days, friends and I will go to the parks, shop or grab a bite to eat. Pretty usual stuff if I’m being completely honest.
One of my favorite things about this place, is the sunsets. Their simply amazing. Added that the people here are nice, but it can be hard to make new friends when most everyone is three times or more, your age.
I like Golden Gate mostly because it’s quite, and I’ve never had really any problems. There are some job opportune in Naples because of tourists, but if that’s not your cup of tea, it can be difficult to find work. Nevertheless, it’s a pretty average place, nothing too special but definitely not a terrible place.

Thinking of moving thereI am planning to move to Golden Gate Estates or around that area. Is the soil good there for planting? Hos does the well from the water taste?

UPDATE: As we teased earlier this week, Janet Jackson has released the official music video for "Made for Now," which features Reggaeton phenom Daddy Yankee. Check it out below!
Janet Jackson isn't letting a divorce from Wissam Al Mana stop her from reclaiming her title as the Princess of Pop. She's focused on work and is back with new music. Last night, she teased the single and music video for "Made for Now" by releasing the artwork for the new song.
Ms. Jackson collaborated with Reggaeton sensation Daddy Yankee on the Afrobeat and Latin-inspired song.
The single will be released on Friday, Aug. 17th. That night will also mark the first time Janet and Daddy Yankee have performed the song on TV. They will take the stage of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon at 11:35 p.m. EST to perform "Made for Now."
According to press materials, the Harmony Samuels-produced track is "meant to move people to enjoy their lives and seize opportunities today, not worry or wait until tomorrow."
The music video for the new song will also be released on Aug. 17th, and is expected to "transport fans to a neighborhood dance party filled with cameos from a contingent of international dancers from Ghana, Nigeria, Grenada, Trinidad, and the U.S. who were hand selected by Janet."
"Made for Now" culminates an incredible summer for Janet, despite her personal woes. She performed at not one but two festivals, Essence Festival in New Orleans and Panorama in New York. It was recently announced that she will headline the Global Citizen Festival in NYC's Central Park on Sept. 29th.

Known as "America's Pastor", Billy Graham has served as Spiritual Adviser to many US Presidents.
Born in 1918, this had been the famous evangelists' call of duty since he prayed in the oval office with President Harry S. Truman. However a front page picture of Graham kneeling on the White House lawn infuriated Truman, and it would be many years before they crossed paths again.
Graham served as adviser to Lyndon Johnson and was considered one of President Johnson's closest friends.
He was also Spiritual leader to Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.
Watch Video Party in N.C. Marks the Rev. Billy Graham's 95th Birthday
President Barack Obama, who visited Rev. Graham on his 95th birthday, was the first sitting president to actually visit at his mountaintop home in Montreat, NC. However, Graham did not serve as adviser to the current Commander and Chief due to differences with the issue of abortion.
The famous Christian Evangelist was also a supporter of the Civil Rights movement in 60's. He bailed out Martin Luther King Jr. when he was arrested in demonstrations and was known for integrating seats for his revivals and crusades.
Reverend Billy Graham has been on the Gallup List of most admired people 55 times since 1955.

text: 1. In the present study we investigated the effect of glucocorticoids on the activation of renal tubular epithelial cells, which are thought to play an important role in inflammatory processes in the kidney. 2. Activation of renal epithelial cells by IL-1, TNF-alpha or CD40L resulted in increased production of cytokines and chemokines. Both in the renal epithelial cell line HK-2 and in primary cultures of human proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) production of IL-6, IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) was not inhibited by glucocorticoids, independent of the stimulus. 3. In contrast, dexamethasone strongly inhibited cytokine production by immortalized renal fibroblasts and an airway epithelial cell line (A549). 4. Stimulation of renal epithelial cells resulted in activation of NF-kappaB, a pivotal transcription factor in the regulation of cytokine genes, as was shown by IkappaB-alpha degradation and increased DNA-binding activity. In contrast to dexamethasone, addition of the NF-kappaB inhibitors pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and n-tosyl-l-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) completely abolished cytokine and chemokine production. 5. Renal epithelial cells express abundant levels of the functional glucocorticoid receptor alpha (GRalpha) isoform and low levels of the inhibitory beta isoform (GRbeta). 6. In conclusion, cytokine production by renal epithelial cells is insensitive to the inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids. The lack of dexamethasone-mediated inhibition was specific for renal epithelial cells and could not be explained by an increased expression of the glucocorticoid receptor beta isoform.

If you need another reason to check out this year’s BC Home + Garden Show—besides home-improvement tips, HGTV stars and cooking demos—here it is: pizza.
“Something new and cool that we’re doing this year is a pizza pop-up shop on the concourse level,” show manager Amber Beaton said.
“Basically, we’re going to be [bringing] out a bunch of pizza ovens and Canada’s top pizza chef, Giuseppe Cortinovis, will be preparing samples for everybody.”
Last year’s show welcomed just under 30,000 attendees, and this year organizers expect something in the range of 35,000. More than 300 exhibitors have been booked.
“Compared to my first year, I feel like we’ve just found our legs and we’re really getting a grip on some cool features for the show,” said Beaton, now in her second year as manager. “When I first came back, it was right after COVID, so a lot was up in the air. It’s all coming into place now.”
First-time guests include Scott McGillivray, host of HGTV Canada’s Income Property, Renovation Resort, and Scott’s Vacation House Rules, among others.
“We’ve been hearing from our attendees that he is somebody that they’d like to see, and we’ve finally been able to make it happen,” Beaton said.
McGillivray said he’ll talk about investing in real estate “and what specifically people in the area can do to take advantage of the opportunities that are here.”
“Vancouver has been a hotbed of rules and regulations and a lot of pressure on that market,” he said. “We’ve seen crazy amounts of appreciation and we’ve seen a lot of government interference with that market. It’sRead more on theprovince.com
