Speaking of Jesus, John says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made” (John 1:1–3). The active Character of Genesis 1 is none other than Jesus Christ Himself. He was with God; He was God; and everything was made by Him. He is the central figure of the creation narrative; He is the Creator.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Creation story is the care and thoughtfulness that Jesus shows His creation. Specifically, it is shown in at least two instances in Genesis 1: when He named the light as day, and when He invested His creation with purpose.
The Name of Love
When you think about it, the ritual of naming is not just for pragmatic reasons. If parents wanted to name their children for the singular purpose of being able to properly identify them, they could name the first child “One,” the second child “Two,” and the third one “Three.” The custom of naming our children carries with it a sentimental value. This is why parents will sometimes spend a lot of time thinking about the name the child will inherit, or purchase books containing the meaning of names of children. Similarly, most people do not take the time to name insects that sneak into their home but may name animals or pets that are dear to their family. Jesus did not only identify the light as light but also named it Day.
The Purpose of Love
Another aspect of Christ’s love is demonstrated in how the narrative depicts the creation of the lights. God made “the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night” (Gen. 1:16). He made other lights “in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night” and “for signs and seasons, and for days and years” (Gen. 1:14).
Although it is not typically regarded as such, Christ’s bestowment of purpose on His creation is an act of love. One of the worst acts of cruelty would be for Jesus to make something exist without a purpose. Many who find no purpose in life often seek purpose in seeking death. Yet, love is the very nature of Christ. When He created humanity, He created it with the greatest privilege of all: the purpose of reflecting His own infinite and eternal image. Can there be a greater manifestation of love?

Impeachment Threats Against Governors Worrisome —NLCLatest News, News Monday, July 21st, 2014
The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) says the spate of impeachment threat against governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is suspicious and worrisome.
The national vice president of the NLC, Isa Aremu who stated this over the weekend in Ilorin argued that the impeachments are politically motivated.
“The one that is worrisome to me is that of Nassarawa. The impeachment notice was served just at the time the president was visiting the state.” He noted
Aremu argued further “Even the timing alone makes it to be suspicious. I want President Jonathan to use his office to re-direct our political discourse along the line of statesmanship. He has done it before and I think he can do it again.”
Rather than instigating an impeachment, the Labour leader wants electorates to be allowed to remove corrupt governors through the ballot box.

“Routley calls provincial budget a charade” was the Lake Cowichan Gazette headline of the day on March 10, 2010.
“Doug Routley would see B.C.’s new $40.6-billion budget as something to laugh about in other circumstances. ‘It’s the only joke that gets funnier the more it’s told — or it would be if it weren’t such a tragedy,’ said the Nanaimo-North Cowichan MLA. Routley said the budget is just another punch-line in the long-standing joke the B.C. Liberal government is playing on the province.”
Routley was joined by fellow MLA Bill Routley (Cowichan Valley) in his disdain for the budget.
He said “the budget adds further evidence to his belief the Liberal government is out of ideas.” Routley, deputy forest critic for the NDP, also lamented budget cuts of 23 per cent in the forest ministry.
“They’ve seen a 41.8 per cent cut to compliance, which means there are going to be less inspections,” he said. “We really have the foxes looking after the chicken house, now.”
Enough about politics, let’s reflect on something way more fun: fishing!
The Royal Canadian Legion’s Annual Russell Smith Memorial Frostbite Derby was another success back in March 2010.
“There were 76 registered anglers on the water Saturday looking to catch the biggest trout of the day,” it said on page 2. “Organizer Len Smith says the beautiful weather made for a great day of fishing with about 30 trout being brought in for the final weigh-in at the legion. The money raised from this event goes to the building fund for the legion.”
Jim Russell took first with a 50cm three-pound fish.

The front page of the Lake News of March 8, 1995 had Hazel Beech chastising council. That was literally the headline: “Hazel Beech chastises Council”. But why?
“Hazel Beech is not very happy with Council. She had requested that she could appear before Council as a delegation to discuss the Dashwood Park issue on February 28.
“A few days before the meeting,” she told the Lake News, “the Mayor phoned me and told me I could not speak to Council.”
Beech decided she would attend the meeting anyway. “You are skirting the municipal law,” she told the Mayor.
The issue went all the way back to April 13, 1971 when council accepted the gift of a forested piece of land from George Dashwood. The park wasn’t being maintained to Beech’s standards and she had no problem telling council as much.
Also on the front of the same paper was the ever-present issue of regional recreation with not one, but two stories about swimming pools. The first was about a public meeting held about the idea of creating a pool facility in Lake Cowichan and there was no doubt people wanted one, but couldn’t really see themselves paying for their dream facility.
“It was clear at once that the pool, if built, would be about as much like the existing Duncan pool as an army barracks in Russia is to the Empress Hotel’s honeymoon suite,” said the paper.
The second story was about the idea of Lakers paying into the Duncan pool facilities.
Communities that participate in financing a facility would also participate in controlling it, said the proposal.

March 12, 1980’s Lake News headline was slick. For real. “Slick bandits raid drug store for narcotics” it said, and the story didn’t disappoint.
“Slick night-time bandits raided Harper’s Western Drug Mart last week and, after muffling the alarm system, coolly walked off with the drug store’s supply of narcotics. Drugs were the only item taken in the professionally-performed theft.”
It turned out the thieves broke a front window sometime after 3 a.m. and went on to steal morphine, demerol, codeine and other drugs.
“Sergeant Don Douglas of the Lake Cowichan RCMP said that the alarm system had been immobilized in an imaginative way that had proved very effective. When the break-in was discovered at 8:15 a.m. by store owner Maurice Harper, the alarm was still ringing, although it was almost inaudible.”
Police noted that they were following leads and believed the theft was not carried out by local thieves.

Gasification is the thermal decomposition of organic materials at elevated temperatures in an oxygen restricted atmosphere. The process, which requires an initial heat supply to get underway, produces a mixture of combustible gases (primarily methane, complex hydrocarbons, hydrogen and carbon monoxide) referred to as ‘syngas’. Syngas might be saved or combusted as it’s produced, giving the process a excessive diploma of flexibility. Gasification allows biomass to be burnt very efficiently and in its most technologically advanced types gasification can present for carbon seize (carbon sequestration). This is a approach ahead in reducing carbon emissions which may also successfully combat local weather change.
But, gasification has another use, aside from power poduction, and that is for the gas for use as the starting point for the industrial/chemicals and refining industries, oklahoma natural gas shawnee oklahoma as a uncooked materials rather than oil. As oil prices rise, gasification using low grade, and thus much decrease value, uncooked materials is changing into rather more viable economically. The method which was seen by many even five to 10 years in the past as costly, and little greater than a university and educational analysis subject, is now wanting more and more major-stream.
Buyers like the truth that by utilizing gasification and the un-glamorous non-stock trade commoditised low grade coal and tar sand biomass feedstocks usually used in giant installations, the volatility just lately seen in oil and natural gas costs will be avoided.
At the pinnacle of gasification know-how is Built-in Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) expertise. IGCC is the technology used at giant scale by equally massive corporations like GEC for electricity generation. It’s at the leading edge of what excessive stress and excessive temperature expertise can present, makes use of pure oxygen for super efficient gasification, and stands beside the atmospheric oxygen separation plant which feeds it, in turn using its personal output to energy its enter. To see an IGCC plant working is an amazingly complex beast, a real marvel combining all of man’s the most recent engineering abilities.
However, the wonder process that gasification could be goes even further. Not solely is it a extremely efficient technique for acquiring energy from natural materials, it can be utilized as a technique for disposing of waste. This can also be an admirable attribute in nowadays of scarce and dear landfill disposal.
The process is not new though, and need not be driven by high technology in an effort to work. There may be a protracted historical past of gasification going again many years. It was developed within the 1800s and was beforehand used to supply gas for lighting and cooking. Each town at one time had it personal coking plant, and gasification was the method used to produce coke for gas, and ‘town gasoline’ for piped distribution all through the neighborhood.
Unsurprisingly, as a result of fast recent oil value hikes, gasification use is rising everywhere. As we hinted earlier, the secondary step of utilizing Fischer-Tropsch technology is seeing rapid uptake, to take the syngas and may convert it into ethanol, methanol, diesel, and so forth. and it has change into a cheaper alternative to creating these substances from oil.
Gasification in all its variations – and it can be used to create many merchandise (electric energy, liquid fuels, hydrogen, artificial gasoline) – additionally gives great oklahoma natural gas shawnee oklahoma opportunities for pollution management. Emissions from the method are inherently less problematic from this type of combustion when in contrast with incineration, and different methods of burning. Sulfur, nitrous oxides, and mercury aren’t generated to the same extent within flue gases so there may be much less efficiency-sapping vitality needed to scrub these emissions than in traditional systems.
But do not be deluded to think that gasification vitality is essentially inexperienced power. Power produced by this or every other course of just isn’t renewable power except the feedstock used is itself renewable biomass. In truth most gasification plants up to now have been fossil fueled.
Nevertheless, that is rapidly changing and for example wood gasification could be considered to be sustainable renewable power so long as it is equipped by forests that are being managed by replanting all felling in line with a proper management program.
Use of gasification by waste disposal operators can reduce dependency on landfill, and supply a alternative for energy beforehand offered by coal-burning energy stations. Generating electricity from family waste by this method is a giant step forward, and in the UK the government department DEFRA is funding technology demonstrations to indicate how well this will work, to prospective native authority waste engineers, councilors and different determination makers.
Finally, we’ve got one more benefit of the method to tell you about. One form of waste that the rising gasification know-how has confirmed profitable in treating is waste meals, and in sterilizing animal by-product food waste. Throughout this course of a carbonaceous meals waste feedstock material is heated in a decreasing ambiance and this, with the excessive temperatures current, very successfully destroys just about all vectors of illness.

These brownies are very good, but I only gave 4 stars because I made some alterations to the recipe to get a taste/texture that I prefer. First, I only had unsalted butter, so I increased the amount of salt to 1 1/4 tsps. Second, rather than using unsweetened chocolate, I used 4 squares bittersweet and 2 squares semi sweet - and cut back the amount of sugar by two-three tbsp. And third, I only used two eggs instead of four because in my experience too many eggs gives brownies a more cake like consistency and I prefer the chewy, fudgy ones. I also omitted the nuts - and altogether I found that these brownies produced the PERFECT bar.

Public Invited to Review ‘Bus‐Rapid Transit’ Proposal
Posted: Tuesday, January 24, 2012
The proposal for developing “bus‐rapid transit” along portions of University and Ingersoll Avenues in Des Moines will be the subject of three open houses scheduled for Thursday, January 26.
11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. –
Arthur Davis Room, Greater Des Moines Partnership, 700 Locust St.
2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. –
Pomerantz Stage, Olmsted Center, Drake University, 2507 University Ave.
5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. –
Greenwood Room, Plymouth United Church of Christ, 4126 Ingersoll Ave.
Starting next year, Route 60 will provide frequent service in both directions on Ingersoll and University Avenues between downtown Des Moines and 42nd St. These established transit corridors feature high‐density residential neighborhoods and an abundance of destinations including two medical centers, three institutions of higher learning, multiple shopping districts and employment centers, and many other services.
As part of the investment study, DART is proposing to build bus stations along the route with real‐time arrival and departure information, to offer 10‐minute service at peak usage, to use technology to change stoplights and accelerate travel times, and to develop separate branding for the service.
This investment study is called an “Alternatives Analysis,” a first, critical step in qualifying for federal funding through the Very Small Starts program of the Federal Transit Administration. DART is asking the public for feedback on its proposal.
More information about bus‐rapid transit and the investment study is available online at www.ridedart.com/busrapid-transit‐study.cfm.

Valencian Short Grain Rice verses Brown ?
@ Jade Turner,
I am writing to thank you for re-sending the recipe however, if you kindly re-read my note, I had just asked for confirmation on 2 questions:
a) Mexican cheese used in recipe ? Oaxaca ? Cotija ? Or a mix ?
b) Due to fact, I live in the Mediterranean, and brown rice is not so easy to find for starters, and personally:
I prefer Short Grain or Long Grain Valencian or Italian Arborio which is used to make risotto ---
Which rice best substitutes the brown ?

If you’ve seen the unbeaten Arizona Wildcats this season, then you’ll know that they’re stocked with talented players and an abundance of former McDonald’s All-Americans. Head coach Sean Miller and the Wildcats continued to stockpile elite talent from the West Coast as five-star guard Tyler Dorsey committed to Arizona on Friday night.
The 6-foot-4 Dorsey is a native of Los Angeles and attends St. John Bosco High School and is regarded by Rivals as the No. 5 player in the 2015 national class. In a class loaded with elite big men, for Arizona to nab a guard of Dorsey’s quality is a huge early recruiting grab. The versatile Dorsey can play both guard spots and can really score if he’s asked to shoulder that burden.
This is Arizona’s first commitment in the 2015 class and Sean Miller has done a tremendous job of recruiting the state of California, where he has landed impact players including Grant Jerrett, Brandon Ashley, Aaron Gordon, current high school senior Stanley Johnson and now Dorsey.

Concrete construction frequently requires cutting into cured concrete. This is a specialised job that requires quality equipment and well-trained workers. As with many skills in the construction industry, concrete cutting has a lot of specialised safety considerations. Here’s a brief overview:
How concrete gets cut?
Concrete cutting is a significant part of construction work in both commercial and residential applications. It’s also commonly required in civil engineering projects and road work.
Cutting concrete is a job for heavy-duty power tools. Hand-held concrete cut-off saws exist, but the most common tool for significant cutting jobs is a walk-behind saw. Today, most concrete saws use diamond blades, although abrasive wheels are a less-common option.
Concrete sawing can be done either “dry” or “wet,” with wet sawing making up the majority of the work. Water helps to cool the saw blade and reduces the impact of dust created by cutting (see below).
Basics About Equipment
Matching the cutting gear to the job is extremely important if work is to be done safely and efficiently. Manufacturer’s recommendations provided by both the makers of the saw and the makers of the blade should be followed at all times.
Different blades are made for different materials, and also for different cutting depths. The composition of the concrete to be cut – aggregate fill, reinforcement, and density – must be ascertained before picking the right blade to do the job. As covered in greater depth below, it’s important to ensure that the saw’s blade is in good working order before starting to cut. This is a skill that’s essential for any trained concrete cutter.
Appropriate clothing must be worn by all workers using a concrete saw. Exposed skin must be avoided if at all possible. Eye protection is a must, as is hearing protection. (Concrete saws are extremely noisy while operating.) For road work, a high-visibility vest is an essential part of the concrete cutter’s working outfit. As with all power tools, concrete saws should only be operated in properly-posted environments with adequate first aid supplies within easy access.
Every concrete saw has a full start-up checklist to run through prior to cutting. It’s important for concrete cutters to be thoroughly familiar with the exact equipment they’re using and to make each appropriate check before starting operations.
For all concrete saws, verifying the condition of the diamond blade is a must. Cutters must check for any cracks, missing blade segments or other signs of wear and remove blades that are in any way damaged. Experienced cutters also know how to look for signs of discoloration (commonly blue-black) that can indicate heat stress and a possibly weakened blade.
Patience and certainty are very valuable traits for concrete cutters. Despite their amazing cutting power, diamond saw blades are surprisingly fragile. Forcing them beyond their normal operating conditions can easily result in damage or injury.
In most concrete cutting jobs, cuts should be laid out with a string or chalk line in advance and lined out for the cutter with a clearly-visible wooden board. It should be easy for him to follow a straight line in order to minimise blade wear due to twisting and turning.
“Pilot” cuts are frequently employed to make concrete cutting easier; these are shallow (usually quarter-inch) cuts laid out at the start of a job to identify where deeper cuts are needed. When cutting begins in earnest, cutters will let the tool do the work. The blade should be allowed to settle to the proper cutting depth on its own and then moved at its own pace.
Aside from the threat of physical injury, the most important safety concern in concrete cutting is probably dust control. Most concrete contains plenty of crystalline silica, and the act of cutting it creates respirable crystalline silica, commonly known as RCS.
RCS is a severe irritant and can be so fine as to be almost invisible. Water-assisted concrete cutting reduces the production of dust but does not eliminate it. Most concrete saws except the smallest hand-held models have an on-board ventilation system to further reduce the creation of airborne RCS dust. Concrete cutters (both saw operators and assistants) should wear respirators at all times.
While concrete cutting is a complex, skilled job with a lot of potential dangers, it’s not hard for properly-trained cutters to stay safe while they work. As in many professions, a level-headed concrete cutter is one who always keeps safety in mind. With that mindful attitude, cutters can easily get their jobs done without putting themselves or their co-workers at risk.

“What do you get when you combine some talented songwriting, warm, rich vocals along with a resophonic guitar, cello, flute, jaw harp and even a didgeridoo? A unique and impressive blend of folk, roots and bluesy sounds served up as a fine, entertaining evening of Jennis music.”
Director, Ottawa Blues Society
Chair & Host of DAWG’ON BLUES, 101.9 DAWG FM
Jennis brings together award-winning Guelph-based Dennis Gaumond’s decades of experience writing and performing original blues and folk and the diverse musical experiences of veteran Toronto indie-scene multi-instrumentalist Jen Gillmor. The unique blend of cello and dobro is also augmented by unusual sounds, such as didgeridoo, custom-tuned harmonicas, flute, wah-guitar, jaw harp and wazinator. It makes for a very entertaining performance, filled with energy, passion and humour.
Their rootsy sound is at times bluesy, at times funky, jazzy or folky, with a hint of exotic ethnic influences. Jennis’ music celebrates the mysteries and poignancies of life, rooted in an unapologetic faith in peace and love as the highest powers. Dennis’s compositions, while rooted in blues traditions and inspired by the likes of JJ Cale and Ben Harper, hint at his love of Middle Eastern and African music. Jen, brought up by a musicologist father, infuses the duo’s sound with her passion for many styles and traditions ranging from rock and reggae to funk, celtic and African music. Her well-worn role as bas guitarist ignites the groove and she cooks it up with a good dose of the “chopping” bow technique from the world of roots fiddling. The duo’s friendship warms up the stage as they draw on their decades of performance experience to engage audiences.
Their debut album, The Current, was released in June, 2014. It has been charting at college radio stations across Canada and resides at the CBC Music Library. Since the album’s release, Jennis has been performing regularly at bars, community centres and private parties around southern Ontario. The duo has three sets of material, mostly original with some jazz, reggae, funk, R&B and blues classics reinterpreted in the Jennis style. Adding to that a sprinkling of early American jazz and African chants, Jennis is set to entertain diverse audiences.

Brazil’s defense ministry has “intensified” operations along the country’s northern border amid a mounting territorial dispute between neighbors Venezuela and Guyana, it told AFP Friday.
Tension is running high as Venezuela prepares to hold a referendum Sunday on whether it is the rightful owner of the oil-rich Essequibo region, which makes up more than two-thirds of neighboring Guyana.
The Brazilian defense ministry “has been following the situation. Defense operations have been intensified in the country’s northern border region, leading to a larger military presence,” it said in a statement sent to AFP.
The UN’s top court, the International Court of Justice, ordered Venezuela Friday to refrain from any action that would “modify the situation that currently prevails in the territory in dispute.”
Guyana had asked the ICJ to call a halt to the referendum, saying it poses an “existential” threat to the country.
Guyana, which gained independence from Britain in 1966, has administered Essequibo for more than a century.
But the territory is the subject of a decades-old dispute with Venezuela.
The row intensified after ExxonMobil discovered oil in Essequibo in 2015, helping give Guyana – population 800,000 – the world’s biggest crude reserves per capita.
The border dispute has created diplomatic awkwardness for South American giant Brazil, which borders both countries.
Brazil’s top diplomat for Latin American affairs, Gisela Maria Figueiredo, said Thursday that President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s administration was following the situation with “concern.”

Christmas can be pure Hell. What with all the crap music on the radio, fake well wishes from strangers and the encroaching disaster that is another unwanted family dinner. A slight annoyance to be found in the holiday blues is the age old question of “what do I get my loved one for Christmas? what is the perfect gift?” That’s the gateway into Black Sunday Productions’ horror anthology flick, Holiday Hell. A young woman finds herself in a curiosity shop on Christmas Eve in search of her sister’s last minute gift. The shopkeeper there is more than willing to help her pinpoint the perfect present, but every item in the shop has a particular appeal and scary story attached to it. As they go from idea to idea, the shopkeeper shares just how each mysterious object ended up in his care. A porcelain-faced slasher, a tale in the same vein as Trilogy of Terror, a psycho Santa and a Satanic cult can be found in Holiday Hell, releasing exclusively on Tubi October 15th 2019 followed by a digital and DVD debut on November 5th 2019 courtesy of Uncork’d Entertainment. Starring Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, The Frighteners), Megan Karimi-Naser, Charnie Dondrea, Cami Ottman, Natasha Duvall, Forrest Campbell, Amber Stonebraker, Lisa Coronado, Joel Murray, Ailsa Marshall, Jeff Bryan Davis, McKenna Ralston, Lisa Carswell and Jeffrey Arrington, Holiday Hell is an anthology is a decent movie that shouldn’t be so heavily marketed as Christmas horror.
“Nevertold Casket Co” and “The Hand That Rocks the Dreidel” were directed by Jeff Ferrell. “Dollface” was directed by Jeff Vigil. “Christmas Carnage” was directed by David Burns” and “Room to Rent” was directed by Jeremy Berg. The segments that make up the feature film Holiday Hell can be found on the big screen as follows: in LA on October 11-17 at Laemmle Monica Film center, in Portland on October 26-27 at Clinton Street Theater and in Seattle on November 1-7 at Grand Illusion Cinema. If you end up reading this review and think Holiday Hell may be something that interests you, those are your chances to see it on the big screen before it hits home media courtesy of Uncork’d Entertainment. So, what did I think of this anthology? Well, as I mentioned above, for being marketed as a Christmas horror movie, it never actually delivers the mood and festive cheer you want sprinkled into your blood, guts and suspense. Outside of a Bad Santa inspired segment and the wrap-around segment taking place around Christmas, there aren’t any other trees, bulbs or baby Jesus’ to be found in this movie. It seems almost pointless to have added the production design to a few of the narratives, especially when Holiday Hell could have survived on its own without it. Give me Silent Night or nothing at all. This, however, is really my only complaint.
I love independent movies, hence why I’m here, and Holiday Hell definitely falls into that category. It looks like the whole thing was made for less than a quarter of a million dollars, and that’s alright with me. I just want you to know what you’re getting before I say that Holiday Hell turned out to be much better than I was expecting. For starters, the camera quality, editing and acting performances were far better than what you’ll find in other independent anthologies. The cast and crew really held their own and delivered a product that is completely void of production errors and lackluster performances. Holiday Hell also possesses a ton of horror troupes that fans know and love, splattered with grit, twists and intestines. It doesn’t rely too heavily on gore to keep viewers interested, more-so going for the shock-and-awe tactic where each segment flips on its head before it ends. Not to mention, this film finishes with a very strong ending that more than makes up for any slow parts in the beginning and middle stories. Look out for that surprise! For each segment having a different crew and director, Holiday Hell is extremely cohesive and feels like one fluid feature. This usually never happens when tasks are divided this way, so major props to the editor and masterminds behind this picture for keeping their style in check. Only other thing I would change is the backing scores. A lot of them sounded like royalty free downloads that didn’t fit in a title with this level of quality.
What Holiday Hell lacks in Christmas spirit, it more than makes up for in traditional horror storytelling. And what it lacks in gore, it more than makes up for in ingenuity. Final Score: 7 out of 10.

What is the number needed to treat (NNT)? How does it relate to orthopaedic practice and, ultimately, orthopaedic patient outcomes?
Quite simply, the NNT tells how many patients would need to be treated to prevent one adverse outcome for a particular intervention. A perfect NNT would be 1; this would mean that for every person treated, there would be a reduction of one adverse outcome.
Inversely, the number needed to harm (NNH) is a statistic that would be encountered if the intervention under study is less effective than the control at preventing adverse events. In this scenario, the NNH would specify how many patients would need to be treated to observe one adverse advent that may occur with the use of the intervention under study.
For example, in the AAOS Guideline on the Management of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries, the literature review found that for every 109 people participating in a neuromuscular program, the number of ACL injuries would be reduced by one. Relating this NNT statistic to a real-life situation would mean that if an average college soccer team has 20 players and six teams participate in a neuromuscular program, a reduction of one ACL injury over the course of a season could be expected.
With proper understanding and interpretation, the NNT and NNH statistics provide a good overview of the effectiveness of interventions. They can be helpful tools for clinician decision-making and may help spur clinician-patient discussion.
As with all statistics, though, the value of an intervention based on the interpretation of NNT or NNH is heavily dependent on the user. Users may have varying opinions regarding the value of an intervention based on the number of patients who would need to be treated; that is, some may more be comfortable than others recommending a treatment that has a moderate-to-high NNT. Additionally, the NNT and NNH are based on a normal distribution of patients and do not take into account any risk factors that an individual patient may have prior to treatment.
Orthopaedic surgeons who know the inherent limitations and how to properly interpret both NNT and NNH may find them valuable additions to their toolkit when deciding treatment options for a patient.
Kevin Shea, MD, is the guidelines oversight section leader on the AAOS Committee on Evidence-based Quality and Value; Jayson Murray, MA, is the manager, evidence-based medicine; and Peter Shores, MPH, is the statistician in the AAOS department of research and scientific affairs.

A few years prior, I had written an article detailing five incredibly healthy foods to eat for maintaining a healthy mind and body. Since it has been so long, and there are still so many more healthy foods out there, I figured I could add on to the list. So, without further ado, here are five more superfoods that you should be eating every week. Also, remember to keep a journal of the foods that you eat, and how they affect you in order to fine tune your diet for optimal health benefits.
Coming from the tree scientifically known as Persea americana, avocado is one of the healthiest fruits on the planet, even though it is often confused for a vegetable. Loaded with more potassium than a banana—975 milligrams to be exact—avocados are tremendously beneficial for both the mind and body. They even contain multiple important vitamins and nutrients like folate and vitamins C, B5 and E. If that weren’t enough, the avocado—also known as the alligator pear—contains no cholesterol or sodium, and are very low in saturated fat. This wonderfruit can even be used as a substitute for butter in certain recipes in order to create healthier variations of traditionally unhealthy foods.
Beloved for their high amounts of vitamin C, oranges are among the world’s most popular fruits. But they can offer so much more than vitamin C. For example, studies suggest that daily consumption of orange juice for four weeks can thin your blood, which significantly decreases blood pressure. Their citric acid content helps prevent the development of kidney stones and anemia. Oranges are also high in fiber, folate and even potassium. Put simply, oranges are incredibly efficient at preventing illnesses and maintaining a healthy diet. They are also incredibly tasty.
Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the face of the planet, and rightfully so, considering that it needs as many nutrients as possible in order to develop a baby chicken. Some of those nutrients include vitamins A, B5 and Phosphorous. And although they are high in cholesterol—212 milligrams—they don’t necessarily raise a person’s cholesterol level. In fact, eggs typically raise the amount of “good” cholesterol—HDL— in a person’s blood. High amounts of HDL can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and other health issues. Some other health benefits that eggs provide include high amounts of choline—a nutrient necessary for the building of cell membranes—, and the prevention of blindness and gaining weight.
Not just the food of bunnies, carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, potassium, fiber and antioxidants. The orange vegetable also provides an incredible amount of health benefits, including eye health, lower blood cholesterol and weight gain. And although carrots are popular for their vitamin A content, which helps prevent blindness, they also have an important effect on one of the world’s deadliest diseases: cancer. Studies suggest that by maintaining a diet with high amounts of carrots, you can potentially protect yourself from prostate, colon and stomach cancer. This makes carrots one of the most important vegetables that any person can eat.
It’s hard to believe that such a small food could contain so many health benefits, but chia seeds defy expectations. Only one ounce of chia seeds contains an incredible amount of nutrients, including fiber, protein, fat, calcium and magnesium. They are also high in antioxidants, which can prevent the development of cancerous cells. Chia seeds have even shown their ability to improve the health of those with type 2 diabetes, reducing both blood sugar and pressure. The tremendous health benefits of the chia seed are far too valuable to ignore, and because of their bland taste, they can be easily incorporated into most diets. You owe it to yourself to fit this superfood into your diet.

Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera, is an ancient medicinal herb that has been used for over 3000 years in Ayurvedic medicine. The name “ashwagandha” comes from the Sanskrit words “ashva,” meaning horse, and “gandha,” meaning smell, referring to the distinct horsey odor of the plant's root.
Ashwagandha is prized for its adaptogenic properties, meaning it helps the body adapt and cope with stress. The root and leaves of the ashwagandha plant are used to make powders and extracts that offer a wide range of health benefits. But when it comes to ashwagandha supplements, which form is better - powder or extract?
What is Ashwagandha Powder?
Ashwagandha powder is made by drying and grinding the root, leaves, or both root and leaves of the ashwagandha plant into a fine powder. This powder contains all the natural phytochemicals found in the whole herb.
However, the concentration of active compounds like withanolides can vary widely in plain powders depending on the plant part used and preparation methods. Withanolides like withaferin A and withanolide D are believed to be responsible for many of ashwagandha’s therapeutic effects.
Ashwagandha powders are available in different forms:
- Root powder - Made only from the dried and powdered root of ashwagandha.Does not contain leaves.
- Leaf powder - Made only from dried, powdered ashwagandha leaves. Does not contain root.
- Root and leaf powder - A blend of both root and leaf powders.
Root powders tend to be preferred as they more closely mimic the traditional use of ashwagandha in Ayurveda. Leaves were traditionally only used topically.
Key Takeaway: Ashwagandha powder provides the complete phytochemical profile of the herb but is not standardized for withanolide content.
What is Ashwagandha Extract?
Ashwagandha extracts are highly concentrated preparations made by extracting specific bioactive compounds from the root, leaves or both using solvents like water, alcohol or glycerin.
The purpose of extraction is to isolate and purify the key phytochemicals that provide therapeutic benefits. Extraction produces a more potent product compared to simple powders.
Most ashwagandha extracts are standardized to contain a guaranteed minimum percentage of withanolides, usually between 1-10%. This ensures consistent potency and efficacy.
Common types of ashwagandha extract include:
- Root extract - Made from ashwagandha root only. Does not contain leaves.
- Leaf extract - Made from ashwagandha leaves only. Does not contain root.
- Root and leaf extract - A blend of root and leaf extracts.
Again, root extracts tend to be preferred as they have the clinical evidence to back their use over leaf extracts.
Some popular branded root extracts include KSM-66 and Sensoril, which are standardized to at least 5% withanolides.
Ashwagandha Powder vs. Extract: Key Differences
|Whole herb - root, leaves or both
|Isolated compounds from root, leaves or both
|Standardized to specific withanolide content (1-10%)
|Variable potency depending on plant part and preparation
|Highly concentrated and potent
|Can be added to foods, drinks
|Capsules, tablets or liquids for easy dosing
|Strong, bitter taste
|Odorless and tasteless
|Typically more expensive
Key Takeaway: The key differences between ashwagandha powder vs extract lie in standardization, potency, convenience, taste and cost. Extracts offer more consistency but powders provide whole herb benefits.
Ashwagandha Powder Benefits and Uses
Despite not being standardized, ashwagandha root powder still provides excellent nutritional and therapeutic value. Some benefits of ashwagandha powder include:
- Stress relief - Helps lower cortisol and manage anxiety and stress.
- Increased energy - May boost endurance and reduce fatigue.
- Cognitive support - Improves concentration, memory and cognitive performance.
- Immune boosting - Supports immune health and activity.
- Mood support - Alleviates symptoms of anxiety and depression.
- Anti-inflammatory - Reduces inflammation involved in many chronic diseases.
- Antioxidant protection - Protects cells from damage by free radicals.
Ashwagandha powder is very versatile and can be easily added to foods, drinks and smoothies for a boost of nutrition and therapeutic benefit. Some popular ways to use ashwagandha powder include:
- Adding 1-2 tsp powder to morning coffee, tea, milk or hot cereal
- Mixing into a glass of juice, protein shake or smoothie
- Making ashwagandha ghee by simmering powder in ghee for 10-15 minutes
- Taking ashwagandha powder capsules for convenience
- Blending into chai tea, lattes, soups and stews
The standard dose of ashwagandha powder is 1-2 grams once or twice per day, or as directed by an Ayurvedic practitioner. It can be taken with or without food.
Ashwagandha Extract Benefits and Uses
Ashwagandha extracts like KSM-66 and Sensoril have undergone extensive research with hundreds of studies demonstrating their safety and efficacy. Some benefits of ashwagandha extract include:
- Reduced stress and anxiety - Shown in multiple human trials to substantially lower cortisol and perceived stress and anxiety levels.
- Increased muscle mass and strength - Boosts testosterone levels and improves muscle growth and physical performance in athletes and untrained individuals.
- Enhanced memory and cognition - Improves immediate and general memory, executive function, attention and information processing.
- Better sleep - Reduces sleep onset latency, increases sleep efficiency and duration, and enhances sleep quality.
- Balanced thyroid function - Safely reduces TSH and increases T3 and T4 thyroid hormone levels in those with subclinical hypothyroidism.
- Lowered blood sugar - May improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose levels in diabetics.
- Improved sexual function - Increases sperm quality and testosterone levels in men. Reduces sexual dysfunction in women.
Unlike powders, ashwagandha extracts do not have a strong flavor or odor. They are most commonly taken in capsule or tablet form for convenience and accurate dosing.
The typical dosage is 300-600 mg extract standardized to contain at least 5% withanolides, taken 1-2 times per day. For specific health conditions, dosages up to 1200 mg daily may be used under medical supervision.
Ashwagandha Powder vs. Extract: Which is Better?
So when it comes to ashwagandha powder vs extract, which form is the better choice? Here is a quick summary:
- Ashwagandha powders provide the full spectrum of compounds found in the whole herb. They are lower cost and can be easily added to foods and drinks. However, potency and taste can vary.
- Ashwagandha extracts like KSM-66 and Sensoril offer highly concentrated, standardized doses of active withanolides. They are more potent, convenient and tasteless. However, they are more expensive.
For most people looking to take ashwagandha for general wellness benefits, the convenience and potency of a standardized root extract may be preferred over plain powders. Those wanting a more traditional whole herb experience may opt for root powder. It's best to choose an organic, high-quality product from a reputable brand.
As with any new supplement, it's wise to start low and go slow when adding ashwagandha to your routine. Speak with your healthcare provider before taking ashwagandha if you have any medical conditions or take prescription medications. While generally very safe, ashwagandha may interact with certain drugs.
Can I take ashwagandha powder and extract together?
Yes, it is fine to combine an ashwagandha extract like KSM-66 with an ashwagandha root powder. This gives you the benefits of both the concentrated extract and whole herb powder. However, be cautious of excessive dosing and start slow. Speak to your healthcare provider before combining supplements.
Is ashwagandha extract better absorbed than the powder?
Extracts like KSM-66 and Sensoril are produced using extraction methods that break down the plant cell walls, which improves the bioavailability and absorption compared to powders. So extracts tend to show benefits with lower doses than plain powders.
Should I take ashwagandha powder or extract for anxiety?
For reducing anxiety, an ashwagandha root extract like KSM-66 or Sensoril may be more effective than the powder. These extracts have been clinically shown to substantially reduce anxiety levels at doses of 300-600 mg per day.
Can I take ashwagandha powder or extract daily?
Both ashwagandha powder and extract can be safely taken daily for extended periods, up to many months or years. However, long term safety has not been established scientifically. It's best to take a few days off each week from ashwagandha supplements and consult a healthcare practitioner for guidance on long term use.
Ashwagandha powder provides the full benefits of the whole herb but is unstandardized. Ashwagandha root extracts like KSM-66 and Sensoril offer maximum potency and efficacy thanks to their high concentration of bioactive withanolides.
For most people, the convenience and proven benefits of these standardized ashwagandha extracts make them a better choice over plain powders. However, ashwagandha root powder remains an excellent option for those wanting a more traditional whole herb experience.

The assisted living facility is a welcome addition to Jewish Home’s 63-year-old Bronx campus and its array of services offered in a traditionally underserved area.
“I think it’s very significant and exciting that we can provide local seniors, who might not be able to live on their own, with the chance to stay in the community,” shares Merri Buckstone, Project Manager for Jewish Home Lifecare’s brand-new University Avenue Assisted Living in the Bronx. She continues, “We encourage elders and their family members to contact us for additional information and request an application.”
“The opening of our new University Avenue Assisted Living program reinforces Jewish Home Lifecare’s commitment to providing a full range of care to the people of Bronx,” stated Audrey S. Weiner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jewish Home Lifecare.
Deputy Bronx Borough President Aurelia Greene and New York State Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz attended the official opening of the residence during a ribbon cutting ceremony held on December 7, 2013. After delivering their remarks of support for Jewish Home’s newest program, Ms. Greene and other guests toured the brand-new facility.

Steve Palmer, founder of Charleston-based Indigo Road Hospitality, has a new restaurant in the works. Located next to its Oak Steakhouse at Avalon in Alpharetta, Colletta will begin serving pizza and pasta February 5. This will be the group’s second Italian restaurant, and about 40 percent of the menu will be comprised of favorites from Charleston-based Indaco, where Michael Perez is executive chef.
“Colletta will have more of a Northern Italy influence with more meat because of its inland location. Indaco has more seafood and more Sicilian influences because it’s on the water,” he says.
Perez moved to Atlanta to lead Colletta, where he and his team will be making everything from the cheese to the pasta. They’ll even have a curing chamber for making coppa, lomo, and salumi. (Perez will remain executive chef at Indaco, too, but chef de cuisine Andy McLeod will handle the day-to-day work.)
“Pasta making is my thing,” Perez says. “We have a pasta sheeter imported from Italy, and we’ll have four seats facing the inside of the kitchen in front of the pasta maker, so you can watch while you eat.”
The restaurant will offer six rotating pastas, including an herb-infused spaghetti with crab, shrimp, uni emulsion, anchovy juice, and breadcrumbs, and a sugo with wild boar and whipped ricotta. Antipasti may include octopus with Sicilian-style pork sausage, white beans, mizuna, and a Meyer lemon aioli as well as more familiar options like pappardelle.
“Alpharetta isn’t Atlanta. We need to have a couple of things that cater to a more suburban neighborhood,” says Perez, who has plans for steak Florentine, bone-in pork chops, whole trout, and chicken on the rotisserie. Everything will be cooked over wood. Neapolitan-style pizzas will be made using 00 flour and filtered water, but toppings will be far from traditional: cured and confit duck leg pizza with taleggio, pistachios, and butternut squash, or Brussels leaves pizza with fontina, Honeycrisp apples, and pecorino romano.
Colletta will also offer a family-style meal with four courses. “When you think of Italian food, you think of big tables with everyone passing around bowls of pasta,” Perez says.
Come April, Colletta will begin serving lunch and offer a slimmed down menu with lighter options. Kelsey Schulz (of Oak) will manage the bar program. The wine will all be Italian, as will some of the beer, with some local beer options to round it out. Two cocktails and prosecco will be available on tap. Since Avalon allows open containers of alcohol on the property, Colletta will have a sliding window where you can order cocktails like frozen bellinis to go.
The 150-seat restaurant includes a large patio, sixteen-seat chef’s counter, and a private dining room.


Learning Hawke’s Bay Media Release 30 April 2020
Hundreds of international students who chose to stay in Hawke’s Bay during the COVID-19 Level 4 lockdown will celebrate the beginning of their studies a little differently this year.
Normally the mayors of Hastings and Napier would welcome the region’s international students at a special event for them and their host families. However due to the COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings, this has been transformed into a virtual welcome put together by Learning Hawke’s Bay.
Learning Hawke’s Bay regional manager Wenhua Yang says more than 700 international students from India, China, Japan, Philippines, Germany, Thailand, Brazil, and New Caledonia have chosen to stay here in Hawke’s Bay during this challenging time.
“We have about 250 international students remaining at our schools and 457 international students at the Eastern Institute of Technology, and most of them will stay in Hawke’s Bay for a year or more.
“Only about a dozen of international students left Hawke’s Bay before the Level 4 lock-down – mostly German students on their mercy flights back home.
“The rest are all happy to stay and have been well supported by their home-stay families, teachers and their communities.”
Hastings Mayor Sandra Hazlehurst says this is an incredibly difficult time for our young people and it makes me enormously proud that hundreds of our international students are still here because they feel safe and well supported.
“This speaks volumes about the support they’re receiving from their schools and host families and the general community spirit shining through.”
Napier Mayor Kirsten Wise says it is really courageous that these international students have chosen to stay when they could have easily flown home weeks ago.
“We completely support and understand the decision that some students have made to go back home and we hope to welcome them back to our region in the future.”

DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI is reportedly a key target for Arsenal as owners Kroenke Sports & Entertainment prepare to make further investments.
The Gunners are known to be interested in the Red Bull Salzburg playmaker, who could be brought in to the Emirates in January.
It has even been claimed that the North London outfit have already held talks with the player's agent Matyas Esterhazy.
⚽ Read our Arsenal live blog for the latest news from The Emirates
And now The Athletic have stated that the 20-year-old could be the latest addition to the squad following a summer that saw a number of arrivals to the club.
As well as extending Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract, Arsenal signed the likes of Gabriel Magalhaes, Willian and Thomas Partey.
Despite a positive start to the season, Arsenal languish in 11th spot in the Premier League after losing three out of their last four games.
Mikel Arteta's side have struggled in the final third due to a lack of creativity, leading the club's owners to be prepared to splash the cash yet again.
And with Szoboszlai boasting a mere £22.5million release clause in his contract, the Hungary international has been eyed up as Arsenal's next priority.
His name has already been the subject of of discussion at the club, and his time at Salzburg could be coming to an end after his boss stated he could depart in the New Year.
Jesse Marsch said: "Yes, the reality is that a guy like Dominik Szoboszlai is likely to have many suitors this winter.
latest arsenal news
"He’s an incredible talent, and I say this: When you coach young players, you have to love them and love the fact that they’re going to move on and love that they’re going to have big opportunities to prove themselves and show how good they are.
"If you’re only worried about how it affects your success, then you’re not really going to ever be effective at coaching and leading young people.
"So with a guy like Dominik, I mean, I want him to show everyone in the world how good he is.
"So let’s see what happens, but I would be surprised if he winds up staying past winter.
"We play with teenagers, and of course when they do well a lot of clubs get really excited."

She made the announcement during a speech at Bute House, while MPs in Westminster are preparing to give Theresa May the power to trigger Article 50 and begin the UK’s divorce from the EU.
In her speech Sturgeon said the UK Government had ‘not moved even an inch in pursuit of compromise and agreement’ with the Scottish Government over Brexit and that even a good deal would be ‘significantly inferior’ to the current system.
“If Scotland can be ignored on an issue as important as the EU and the single market then it is clear that our voice can be ignored at any time and on any issue,” she said.
Scotland’s first minister said the new referendum must be held between Autumn 2018 and Spring 2019, when the terms of Brexit will be known.
She confirmed that she will apply for authorisation from the UK Government for the vote but added that they should respect the will of the Scottish Parliament.
“The option of no change is no longer available. But we will give the Scottish people a choice about the kind of change we want,” she said.
“I believe that it would be wrong for Scotland to be taken down a path that it has no control over regardless of the consequences for our economy, for our society, for our place in the world, for our very sense of who we are as a country. That would be wrong, and therefore my judgement is that we should have that choice.
“I believe that in a referendum the Scottish people will opt for independence, but that will be the choice of the Scottish people and I’ve been very clear that that will be an informed choice.”
Scotland voted to stay in the EU by 62%.
The SNP promised a second vote in their manifesto if they were taken out of the EU ‘against our will’.
