The answer? The announcement of experimental studio album M A N I A which had a delayed release due to the less than welcoming reception of debut track Young And Menace. The track combines strong EDM beats with heavy guitar, a decision which wasn’t regarded highly by long-term followers of the group, as shown by the response to the track on social media, demonstrating a U-turn from their early punk roots. The band originated from Chicago’s hard punk scene which had a strong impact on early albums such as debut release Take This to Your Grave but any traces of fiery punk appear to have been erased from the group’s mentality.
Fall Out Boy attempted to reassure fans that the album wouldn’t all be experimental styling with the release of second single Champion, co-written by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. The track opens with punchy guitar riffs blending into the alt-pop rock which the once emo chart toppers have become known for, since their comeback in 2013 with the release of Save Rock and Roll.
It is clear Fall Out Boy didn’t want to retreat to their comfort zone with M A N I A and at times this worked. Take, for example, The Last Of The Real Ones a heroic rock ballad saturated with celestial metaphors for love and devotion, and following track HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T, a catchy euro-pop anthem perfect for summer road trips. Tracks such as these suggest a shift to producing a style of music that is more mainstream indicating the potential for tunes that could sit quite comfortably in global pop charts. However principally, more fine-tuning is needed for this switch to be successful.
Although the Chicago rockers get it right with some tracks, there are more failures than success stories on this album. Overall the band’s decision to take a more experimental route leaves songs feeling disconnected from one another. For instance, the sampling of pipe organs and religious choir in fifth track Church clashes with the reggae/rap combination of Sunshine Riptide. The attempted fusion of genres seemingly leaves the album lacking flow and continuity.
The release of M A N I A confirms a definite shift for the band from their early punk days yet Fall Out Boy still don’t seem to be clear on the new path they want to pursue. Overall, the album symbolises a failed attempt to properly break into mainstream pop charts. Although M A N I A contains a couple of unprecedented bangers, let’s hope this is just a momentary blip in Fall Out Boy’s previously impressive discography.

A dog's grooming is essential for both the dog and the owner. The dog feels healthy, clean, and comfortable, whereas the owner gets satisfaction by achieving the dog's well-being.
Every dog is different in every aspect, and so are their needs and frequency of grooming. I learned this fact when I visited my uncle, a huge dog lover. He told me that dogs are different and want different techniques and ways for their grooming.
Groom Your Dog Like A Pro
In this article, we are going to tell you the ultimate guide to grooming your dog like a pro.
Dogs love swimming, but when it comes to bathing, it depends on the dog you have. The easy way is to check by putting your dog in a bathtub; if it is uncomfortable, it's time to check for other methods.
If your dog is not easy going into the bathtub, you have to train your dog. For example, you have a Goldendoodle and must give Goldendoodle training to your pet.
It is your responsibility as a dog owner to choose a shampoo that suits your dog's skin. Dogs have different shampoos according to age, skin, and coat type.
You should give a bath to your dog if your dog is filthy. It removes not only the dirt but also the annoying odor and the loose hairs of your dog.
The most important thing is to slow the process if your dog does not like baths in a tub. Take the training slowly and use the praise method; you can use treats and tap on the back. Moreover, ensure that you don't over-bath your dog.
2. Teeth Brushing
The first thing you should know about teeth brushing is never to make the mistake of using the toothbrush and toothpaste humans use. Brush your dog's teeth 2-3 times a week with the medicated paste prescribed by the vet.
The brushing of the teeth is as essential as bathing. Some reports suggest that regular brushing not only keeps the gums and teeth healthy, but it increases the life by two years.
No dog likes their mouth to be touched, so it is essential to take the process slow to make your dog used to teeth brushing. Start by only touching the mouth and, afterward, move to the step of brushing the teeth.
Gum diseases are typical in dogs, so brushing their teeth is essential. You can choose the flavor of medicated toothpaste according to your dog's choice. There are many flavors, like peanut butter, liver, mint, and chicken.
Brush your dog's coat right after you dry their coat after a bath and when their fur is full of dust. Select a slick brush for dogs that does not harm the skin, and your dog feels comfortable with it.
Brushing the coat regularly like it keeps the hairs of your dog smooth; it helps you periodically examine the skin for any fleas or ticks and check for any scratches on your dog.
The pet's coat has natural oils; regular brushing will help spread the natural oils uniformly. Otherwise, it will result in greasy buildup on certain coat parts.
4. Nail Trimming
Every pet owner shares a special bond with the pet and keeps him close to their body whenever they get time to bond. If your pet has long nails, it can result in scratches on your body.
The nails are a susceptible part of a dog's body which they use for almost every work. If the nails are too short, they can bleed and cause pain; if the nails are too long, they can result in infections, injuries, and nail breaks.
Nail trimming is one of the critical and challenging steps in the grooming process. There are chances that your dog won't like you holding its paws. An excellent way to make your dog comfortable is to gradually train the dog with the help of treats and praise.
5. Dog Grooming Clippers from My Pet Command
No matter what size of dog you have, a clipper set from mypetcommand will help you trim your dog's coat with ease. Now, you don't have to spend extra on plastic clippers because the clippers will save you both time and money.
The clippers are very easy to use and use brushless motor technology, making them comfortable for your dog. You can choose the blade from the set of four blades, allowing you to trim according to your choice.
The set comes with a portable casing and is rechargeable. The manual will make it easier for you to use it to trim the coat of your dog.
6. Ear Cleaning
Ear cleaning is another essential step in the grooming process. It is easy to inspect your pet's ears with a gentle touch. If you feel that there is wax inside the ear, clean it right away.
The buildup of wax in the ear can cause infection, resulting in severe discomfort for your dog. Clean the ears with a cotton ball. Make sure you don't use cotton swabs or anything else. The ears of a healthy dog with no wax ears are pinkish.
7. Nose Cleaning
A dog is primarily known for its quality to smell; for this, it is vital to keep its nose clean. Unlike other pets, dogs don't clean their nose by licking. As an owner, you are responsible for cleaning it for the dog.
We recommend you use a soft cloth to clean the nose if there is dirt or any other discharge from the nose. Clean the nose gently so that your dog does not get aggressive.
8. Eye Cleaning
Any issue in the eye can cause discomfort for the dog. If any redness or something is discharging, it is time to clean the eyes of the dog. Remember that the eyes of the pet are so delicate, so touch around the eye with soft hands.
If you have a long-haired pet, cleaning your eyes becomes more necessary. Long hairs can go into the eyes of the dog and cause discomfort, so it is essential to clip those hairs. Moreover, if there is regular discharge from the eye, consult your vet and get medication.
The process of grooming sounds very dull, but it has long-lasting effects. It results in well being of the dog and gives you time to bond with your dog. Moreover, grooming reduces your dog's stress and saves them from getting aggressive.
Other steps involved in the grooming process include cleaning the mouth, drying the coat, etc. We have mentioned the main steps to help you groom your dog like a pro.

How-to: Shift cable replacement, adjustment. MTX75 2000-2002.5
My shift cables were like this.
I had "fixed" the broken one with zip ties but the shifter felt horrible. So last weekend I replaced my shift cables. I saw some how-to threads but none for my specific setup with pictures. Here is mine. If you have a 2002.5-2007 check out whynothinkwhynot's thread here: http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/general-technical-chat/304574-how-fix-mtx-75-shift-tower-reset-shift-cables-tri-ax-shifter.html
First off you need to gather all your tools and decide how you plan to go about the change. You could possibly do this without going underneath your car or jacking it up, but what I did involved jacking it up. If you are going the underneath route you need more tools.
Here is what I used.
A new shift cable (Part # 1S4Z-7E395-HA)
Torx screwdriver (t25 I think)
19mm socket and wrench (lug nuts)
10mm socket and a wrench
Two pairs of vice-grips
Two flat head screwdrivers
A pry bar (1ft.)
Jack up your car, place a jackstand underneath and take off you wheel and inner fender. The inner fender has a torx screw underneath the rocker panel area right by the driver's door that is hard to see as well as some phillips screws.
Take the center console out. Mine was already out so I don't have pictures of this. To do this you need to unscrew the two screws in the cupholders and take off the armrest, which has a couple screws. It will then look like this
Then take out the black trim piece by removing the plastic fasteners (where the zip ties are in my car)
Then take out the air box by unhooking the tabs and unscrewing the screws. There is one screw on the passenger side and one on the driver side.https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3...-k/airbox1.jpg
Passenger side. This one is not the easiest to see but it is there.
Driver's side. That other plastic fastener does need to come off but it could if you want.
To make things easier take away the air tube to the back seat. I had to bend mine to get it to come free from the seats so be careful if it is really cold out when you do this as it might break.
Next cut away the carpet covering the shift cables. Make sure you cut wide enough to get to the bolts that hold in the shift cables.
Then you can remove the shifter cables from the shifter base
Pry them off the shift tower itself and then untwist the knobs holding them to the shifter base. Pull up after you have untwisted them enough.
Unbolt the two bolts holding down the rubber seal. Now it's time to get under the hood.[wrenchin]
Remove your airbox and your fuse box. Mine just pop off when you pull on them. Supposedly not all of them are like this.
Then you need to pop off your old shift cables.https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-D...2/IMG_6465.JPG
If you look in the picture you can see that the rubber bushing is still stuck on [?|] This isn't all that easy to get off. I cut off all the rubber with wire cutters. Then I used two screwdrivers to pry off the metal part which was still stuck on. I had to pry on both sides simultaneously or it wouldn't come off. It took me a while to figure this out. Then pry off the other cable end. I used a pry bar and it came right off.
Now comes the fun part. You can try to untwist the knobs holding on the cables with your hands, but unless they are super strong and super small at the same time it won't work. Attach the vise grips to the knobs and untwist them with the vice grips. You will need to twist them and unlock the jaws and twist again several times if you shift cables are like mine. Do the top cable with the black end on it first. The picture shows on the white cable what I did. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-T...shiftcable.jpg
Your shift cables are now free! [headbang][strongman]
You can now go in the car and start pulling them out. However, if they are like mine, they will get stuck on the exhaust shield, since there is a protective metal shield over them with lots of ridges on it. To get rid of this problem, go underneath and move the exhaust heat shield out of the way. You may need to drop the exhaust to do this. I did not have to because my exhaust support is broken. Your cables should now pull free.
Installation is mostly the reverse of removal, but you need to careful of some things. When you put the knobs into their support there is a little plastic ring in between. It helps keep the knobs from closing down on you while you are putting them in. It comes off after they are installed, so don't worry about that. You also need to make sure that the orange button protrudes from the shift cable end. In this picture the button in the white end is correct and the one in the black end isn't. If just the white one is protruding you may not have reverse, at least I didn't.https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-b...2/IMG_6493.JPG
If you don't do this it will become disconnected like this
To adjust them follow S2's method listed here. It really helps to have another person when you are doing this. Then put everything back, unless you want to delete your armrest or something (I like no armrest). Now you are done[:p] Happy driving [driving]
Mods. I wasn't sure if this should go in the general or Mk1 forum so if it is wrong please move it.
Nope, just fine where it is. We've moved it into the How-To Archive. If the Mk1 mod wants to put up a link to it in that forum, then I'm sure that's ok especially since this only applies to early Focis.
Added this to the how-to archive. If you want to email me your address and color preference I can send you out a couple of decals.
I was wondering if I could get more information on taking off the cable clamp I can't seem to get it off. It's sliding freely with the orange button pushed in but it won't come off the black part due to a little bump it's the white clamp
About adjusting the cables.
I was wondering if there is a video showing how to adjust my cables. I already installed them. And Both orange clips are showing. The Gearbox counterweight has plenty of space. But I still can barely shift it into reverse. and The fluid level is topped off. The only thing I believe is left is to just adjust them. But I'm confused by just reading it. The cables don't seem to have that much play to begin with. I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
I just wanted to tell the op thanks for the write up. Great job identifying all the hidden screws on the interior. Still lots of wiggling things around to get them moving on this job though. She's done now and shifting great. Now on to the lower ball joint, lol. [?|]
where can i get the cable i cant find it anywhere part number anything
Have you tried a local or on-line Ford Dealer?

In 1934, Harry Price, Britain’s premier psychic investigator, undertook what he described as his most bizarre investigation. In the early 1930s, an Isle of Man farmer and his family claimed to have held regular conversations with a small weasel-like animal, an entity which became known as Gef the Talking Mongoose. Gef lived with the family for a number of years, by turns a threatening, mischievous, affectionate, and ultimately enigmatic presence, rarely seen but often heard behind the farmhouse walls. Price was unable to demonstrate the phenomena to be fraudulent, whilst a fellow paranormal investigator, Dr Nandor Fodor of the Society for Psychical Research, remained convinced that Gef did indeed exist. In addition to the Harry Price archives held at the University of London, Christopher Josiffe has examined those of the SPR at Cambridge, and travelled to the Isle of Man as part of his research. This illustrated talk attempts to assess the evidence - both for and against – of Gef’s existence.
Christopher Josiffe works as a library cataloguer at Senate House Library. He has published in Faunus, Abraxas, and Fortean Times. His interests include spiritualism, historical and modern witchcraft, ceremonial magick, Northern Soul and reggae, and visiting prehistoric sites. His first book - on Gef the Talking Mongoose - will be published by Strange Attractor Press in 2015.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him at the Premier League champions until 2025, the club announced.
The 51-year-old has guided City to four league titles, four League Cups and the FA Cup since taking over in 2016 and his deal was set to expire in the summer.
“I am delighted that Pep’s journey with Manchester City Football Club will continue,” City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said in a statement.
“He has already contributed so much to the success and fabric of this organisation, and it’s exciting to think what might be possible given the energy, hunger and ambition that he clearly still has.”
Guardiola’s current spell at City is his longest in charge of a single club since he began his managerial career in 2008.
“I am so pleased to be staying at Manchester City for another two years...,” Guardiola said.
“I know the next chapter of this club will be amazing for the next decade. It happened over the last ten years, and it will happen in the next ten years because this club is so stable. From day one I felt something special being here. I cannot be in a better place.”
The Spaniard managed boyhood club Barcelona from 2008-12 and spent three years in charge of German giants Bayern Munich before joining City.
City are second in the league with 32 points from 14 matches, five points behind leaders Arsenal with the season paused for the World Cup in Qatar.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Ball Exercise on physical functions related to fall prevention among community-dwelling elderly. Nineteen healthy elderly women voluntarily participated in a Ball Exercise course that consiste of 60-min classes once a week for three months. We assessed their physical functions at baseline and then again after the Ball Exercise course. Significant improvements (p<0.05) were observed in one leg standing without vision (+7.2s), functional reach (+14.4%), trunk flexibility test (+7.1%), maximum walking speed (+17%), and the isometric muscle strength of the knee and ankle joints (+9.8-35.7%), but no changes were observed in grasping power. This study suggested that Ball Exercise might be a suitable fall prevention and health promoting exercise for elderly people. We therefore concluded that ensuring a high level of physical functions is important to prevent falls and maintain a high quality of life for elderly people.

Hawaii’s pineapple industry is no longer what it once was, but at Dole Plantation on Oahu, this prickly fruit is still king.
Nearly a million people visit Dole Plantation each year. It originally opened in 1950 as a simple fruit stand, and reopened in 1989 after an extensive remodeling of its facilities to provide the complete “pineapple experience.” In 1997, the site underwent a $125,000 interior renovation to simulate building facades patterned after old Haleiwa Town.
A favorite attraction here is the Pineapple Garden Maze, made from 11,400 colorful Hawaiian plants. Covering an area of more than two acres (with a path length of approximately 1.7 miles), the maze in the 2001 Guinness Book of World Records as the “world’s largest maze.”
Once you find your way out of the maze, take some time to enjoy Dole Plantation’s other offerings: The Pineapple Express train tour is a two-mile, 20-minute, fully-narrated tour that provides insights on the history of the pineapple; the rigors of plantation life; and the story of James Dole, who pioneered the pineapple industry in the Islands. The Plantation Garden Tour, meanwhile, is a self-guided walk that brings you face to face with a variety of agricultural crops in Hawaii.
Dole Plantation also features informational displays and presentations about the pineapple. The visitor center offers a wide variety of pineapple-related merchandise. You can even treat yourself to an icy-cool cup of world-famous DoleWhip.
It’s believed that the pineapple originated in the lowlands of Paraguay. Historians believe the fruit was introduced to Hawaii in 1527 after a Spanish shipwreck near the coast of South Kona on the Big Island brought a number of goods to the Islands. In later years, a Spanish adventurer named Francisco de Paula Marin experimented with raising pineapples in Hawaii in the early 1800s. James Dole would later pioneer the pineapple industry, earning acclaim as Hawaii’s “Pineapple King.”
Dole Plantation is located at 64-1550 Kamehameha Highway near Wahiawa in Central Oahu. (It’s about a 45-minute drive from Waikiki.) The attraction is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

text: Reviews, Stage, Theatre The Ham Funeral review (Griffin Theatre, Sydney) By Ben Neutze | May 22, 2017 | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Ham Funeral is one of the richest and most significant plays in the Australian canon. Written by Patrick White in 1947, when he was still a relatively young man and an almost completely inexperienced playwright, the play remains a fiendishly difficult prospect for directors and actors alike. The surreal world of White’s play is unlike any other in the Australian canon, and although there are touches of the existential terrain explored by Beckett and Ionesco, The Ham Funeral predates the majority of work by those leading exponents of absurdist/existential theatre. But the play doesn’t even have the formal neatness of a Beckett or an Ionesco — it’s sprawling in its style and incorporates its vaudevillian, music hall influences into a very sophisticated piece of drama. At the centre of the play is an unnamed young man (who bares some similarities to White himself when he was searching the world for his own voice) living in a dirty, damp, crumbling London boarding house. Living beneath the young man are the wise but uneducated Mr and Mrs Lusty, his landlord and landlady. The young man has a polite and friendly relationship with the pair, but when Mr Lusty keels over and unexpectedly dies, the young man finds himself becoming immediately closer to the grieving Mrs Lusty, and helping her in organising the titular funeral. Kate Gaul, one of Sydney’s most insightful, confident and versatile directors, is entirely up to the challenges presented by the play, and has created a production that sings with all the music and poeticism of White’s text. The play usually features a multi-level set, with the rented rooms of the boarding house above, and the Lustys’ basement below. That kind of staging would be impossible, given the confines of the Stables Theatre, but the dark, slick and simple set, designed by Jasmine Christie, allows the focus to be thrown onto the performances and text. Gaul’s use of the Griffin space, with the help of Hartley T A Kemp’s lighting, is ingenious. Her blocking is more representative than naturalistic, but the spaces of the boarding house seem perfectly defined. Nate Edmondson’s sound design suggests the setting brilliantly, with all the subtle creaks and drip-drops of the old, ramshackle house, while his music creeps in at exactly the right moments. Gaul has assembled a cast who are able to tread the fine line between the dark and the light in this black comedy. Sebastian Robinson brings across all the innocence of the young man. There’s a suggestion that he might be on the cusp of something, and the events of the play represent a significant turning point for the character. Eliza Logan is excellent as Mrs Lusty — a character whose overt confidence and sexuality proves a strong influence on the young man, but is cowed in the presence of her husband’s relatives. It’s a superb, bawdy performance, and there’s a palpable sense of sadness that Mrs Lusty is being left behind in this world. Johnny Nasser has the requisite quiet crankiness of Mr Lusty and then transforms effortlessly into one of Mr Lusty’s relatives. Carmen Lysiak, Andy Dexterity and Jane Phegan make up the rest of the quartet of oddball relatives, while Jenny Wu is a perfectly ethereal presence as the girl who lives across the corridor from the young man. This is an entertaining, imaginative, first-rate and crystal clear production of one of the most idiosyncratic plays ever written by an Australian playwright. It’s no fusty museum piece, but should be seen by everyone with an interest in the handful of plays that make up the Australian theatrical canon.

PIMM’S FRUIT GELATIN DESSERT
This is such a beautiful dessert to have in the garden on a summer’s afternoon, especially if served in some pretty glasses or teacups. Its key ingredient is Pimm’s No. 1, a bittersweet, very British, gin-based liqueur. Depending on the size of your containers, you may find the fruit floats to the surface. If so, fill them in two stages, setting them in between, so that the fruit is trapped throughout the gelatin.

MARSEILLE, France — Charles Aznavour would have turned 98 this year. On May 21, the eve of his birthday, the Aznavour Foundation organized a solidarity concert called “Formidable Aznavour” to pay tribute to the French-Armenian legendary singer, who died four years ago. The show took place in the French Mediterranean city of Marseille, known for its huge Armenian community, where thousands of genocide victims arrived by boat a century ago.
About 4,500 people gathered at the Dôme concert hall to celebrate the beloved troubadour. Nearly 40 singers, 10 musicians, and 500 chorists performed. The previous edition of the concert, in 2019, was a huge success. This year, various famous French artists gathered again to sing Hier encore, La Bohème, Mourir d’aimer and also Emmenez-moi. The actress and model Géraldine Lapalus was the host of the ceremony. Many generations paid tribute to the musical artist, including Enrico Macias, Nana Mouskouri, Linda Lemay and other established singers as well as the new generation of young French artists, such as DJ Big Ali and Amaury Vassili.
The concert started with a flawless children’s choir, conducted by the pianist Erik Berchot, who played with Charles Aznavour for many years. They made a medley of his most iconic songs, a significant introduction before multiple voices started to strike up the song La Bohème. They restyled Aznavour’s songs respectfully and in a contemporary way. Aznavour used to write timeless songs and it’s even more obvious nowadays. Homosexuality discrimination, war, forbidden love, youth, family, Paris, and of course solidarity with Armenia are among the themes he touched upon.
All the funds collected by the show were dedicated to the Aznavour Foundation, a solidarity foundation founded by Charles Aznavour and his son Nicolas, who lives now with his family in Yerevan, and runs the foundation. It carries out educational, cultural and social humanitarian missions and numerous charitable programs in the country.

A radioimmunoassay has been developed for the measurement of 3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine (DIT) in serum. DIT was coupled to porcine thyroglobulin (PTg) with a molar ratio of 205:1. Rabbits were immunized with 1 mg of immunogen emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant. Sera were screened for their ability to bind trace amounts of [125I]DIT. A serum that bound 40% of the tracer at a final dilution of 1:1,750 was used in the assay. Assay specificity was improved by the use of thyroxine (T4)-binding globulin as a second ligand-binding protein to decrease T4 and triiodothyronine (T3) cross-reactivity with the antibody. Double antibody and polyethylene glycol radioimmunoassays were compared. DIT present in the second antiserum shifted the double antibody assay standard curve and altered estimates of assay specificity and assay sensitivity. By using the polyethylene glycol system and butanol:ethanol extracts of serum, DIT was measured in human serum. In 35 apparently healthy young adult controls DIT levels averaged 156 ng/100 ml. Random DIT levels averaged 158 ng/100 ml in 11 untreated hyperthyroid patients and 84 ng/100 ml in 15 untreated primary hypothyroid patients. No diurnal pattern in DIT levels could be demonstrated. Thyroid-stimulating hormone administration led to a variable but small rise in DIT levels, but short term T3 suppression was not associated with a measurable fall in DIT concentrations. Paired serum samples from the carotid artery and thyroid vein of 10 euthyroid goiter patients and one patient with a toxic solitary adenoma all showed a positive transthyroidal gradient indicating the thyroidal release of DIT in each patient. Measurable DIT levels of 45, 47, 68, and 80 ng/100 ml, respectively, were found in four fasting athyrotic patients indicating that the thyroid is not the only source of serum DIT.

The Singapore General Hospital and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have jointly developed a Prostate Robotic System that will improve the diagnosis and treatment of prostrate cancer, the fifth most common cancer in Singaporean men. The Prostate Robotic System is a robotic biopsy and potential radioactive seed treatment delivery system designed by a group of professors and students from NTU’s School of Mechanical and Production Engineering, in collaboration with clinicians at SGH’s Department of Urology.
The 15-member SGH-NTU team is jointly led by Dr Christopher Cheng, Head of Department of Urology, SGH and Associate Professor Ng Wan Sing from NTU’s School of Mechanical and Production Engineering.
The Prostate Robotic System can be used to define cancerous areas in the prostate and guide biopsy protocols. This improves upon present diagnosis methods for prostate cancer, which is difficult to detect due to the location and behaviour of the prostate gland.
The system has potential use in the localised treatment of prostate cancer by placing radioactive seeds into cancerous areas in the prostate. Using the Prostate Robotic System to diagnose prostate cancer With the Robotic System, ultrasound images obtained will be used to generate a three-dimensional computerized model of the prostate. The 3-D model can then be rotated and magnified, allowing the urologist to obtain a comprehensive perspective of the prostate and hence better define biopsy sampling areas.
Based on the selected biopsy areas, the Robotic System will recommend suitable needle trajectories (pathways) in order to arrive at the defined positions. These planned trajectories can be computer-simulated, allowing the urologist to review the planned procedure before giving the go-ahead for the robot to perform the actual biopsy. By making it possible to accurately place a needle according to a biopsy protocol, the Robotic System is expected to significantly increase the reliability of prostate biopsy for cancer detection.
Initial clinical trials conducted at SGH’s Urology Department have shown that the Robotic System achieved a consistent accuracy of ±1.5mm from the intended biopsy spot, a significant improvement over current manual methods. In cases where multiple areas in a prostate are suspected to be cancerous, the Robotic System requires only a single puncture point to perform multiple biopsies unlike current methods which require multiple punctures. This results in less damage to healthy tissue, less pain and trauma for the patient, and a faster recovery time.
Using the Prostate Robotic System in prostate cancer treatment In addition to applications in prostate cancer diagnosis, the Prostate Robotic System can also be used in localised radioactive treatment of prostate cancer. The system can accurately place radioactive particles (“seeds”) into cancerous areas in the prostate. This will allow an improved distribution of radiotherapy for the prostate and hence maximise treatment effects on cancerous cells, while reducing damage to normal, healthy cells. Synergy of engineering and surgical skills The SGH-NTU team are excited that the Prostate Robotic System will improve the detection rate for prostrate cancer and increase patients’ chances of recovery. Says Asst Prof Louis Phee, a professor from NTU and a team member, “This robotic system is a good example of how robots and machines can help surgeons and medical doctors improve medical diagnoses and treatment. With robots, surgical procedures could be performed more accurately, take less time and minimize damage to healthy tissue for the benefit of the patient. ” Dr Christopher Cheng adds, “The Prostate Robotic System is the result of close R&D collaboration between clinicians and engineers.
The system harnesses the latest technologies in robotics, for improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. We believe that the system is one of the first robotic systems in the world to be applied for prostate cancer management.” Says Assoc Prof Ng, “It is rewarding and satisfying to see engineers and clinicians work in close partnership to build better cancer detection and treatment tools to benefit mankind.”
The SGH-NTU team started developing this system in mid-2001, leveraging on SGH’s clinical knowledge of the disease and NTU’s engineering expertise in robotics technology. Funding of some half a million dollars came from the National Medical Research Council and SingHealth. The team has filed a provisional US patent for the Prostate Robotic System and plans to have the system commercially available within the next five years. In the meantime, the team has embarked on further enhancement on the Robotic System and plans to incorporate a new method of guidance for even more accurate biopsies. The team members are hopeful of obtaining additional funding and are currently seeking possible development partnerships with medical instrumentation companies.

We've been to Tahoe at least 4 times a year fro the last 30 years. Don't know when tis place opened but this trip we found it. Stopped for a quick lunch on our way to see the fall color on 89 / 88.
The special lunch sandwich for the day was a chicken club on sourdough. Chicken breast, jacks cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on sourdough with honey mustard. WHAT a sandwich. Wife and I both ordered it. Only mistake we made was each getting one, we could have shared. We each ate 1/2 and had the other half for dinner. Came with fries.
Great meal, good value, Outstanding FRIENDLY service.
This is now a must stop for us when near Tahoe valley.

Tana Mongeau sparked intense criticism after
uploading a long-awaited apology video.
In the video, Mongeau said she was
sorry for “being such a big part of cancel
culture for the entirety of her career”.
She also said she doesn’t deserve a platform
for acting “in a gaslighting manner”.
Mongeau then expressed her “disgust” with
“every single apology video” she’s ever made
and declared it was “far past the time” for
her to take accountability for her actions.
Though she claimed that this apology
would be different, it still was not met
with good reviews from fans.
“It was obviously a script written by her team.
She didn’t mean any of it,” one Twitter user wrote.
As of September 7, the video has double the
amount of “dislikes” than “likes” on YouTube.
Mongeau responded to the outrage
over her apology by saying she was
“just scared of sounding upset or emotional
or crying so [she] cut that all out”.
she said she would upload another explanatory
video responding to her fans thoughts

For so long, I thought that if I was interested in beauty, that could be my only focus. Then I learned about self-love and body positivity.
But let’s be honest: while the beauty and self-love communities can battle from time to time, there is a lot of meaningful overlap between the two.
Liking beauty doesn’t mean you’re vapid. Liking self-love doesn’t mean you hate makeup.
We’re all multi-faceted, so it makes sense that our interests are, too.
I’ve always heard it’s good to write what you know. Here’s what I know (shoutout to one of my favorite movies, Never Been Kissed):
I love makeup, being creative, writing, helping people, laughing, The Office, music, coffee, my family, self-love, spirituality and much more. It would feel inauthentic to me to only address a few of those interests in this space if I feel called or inspired to write about them.
I am more than my interests, but our interests are what bring us closer together. Whether you like beauty or movies or music or dogs or cats or turtles or gaming or bourbon or watching Christmas movies all year round, that’s amazing! That’s what makes you you.
Please don’t change that or dim your light for anyone else. Stay true to you and what you know. If you want to know more, read, do research, get informed however you’d like. The resources are out there, waiting for you.
What makes you happy? Inquisitive? What would you love to do if you weren’t afraid?
What will happen if you never try to achieve your dreams? Don’t live your life as if you’re in purgatory. Live in the moment right now.
Be honest with yourself, and start taking baby steps to get there. You can do it. You know you can, and I know you can.
Follow your inspiration and see where it leads. You might be surprised by what happens, or it may feel like you’ve finally found your place and your home.
Embrace it, and imagine how amazing it would be if you felt this excited and inspired all the time. It is definitely possible and achievable for you if you try.
Be honest, is where you are right now where you want to be in three weeks, six months, one year, five years?
What steps can you start taking to get where you want to be?
Start, leap, jump!

If you have been addicted to Crackberry as long as I have, you will remember using the classic 950 model back at the turn of the century.
Back then, Blackberries were more like glorified pagers then the hi-tech multimedia devices they are today.
I remember the first one I had. I had it set to the "da da di di da da di <bzz> <bzz>" tone and vibrate notification when I received a new message. I think it was called "1812 Overture ". It was wicked cool. We would sit around the server room and send messages back and forth to each other just to hear that vibrating little gadget known as the RIM Blackberry. Ah the memories...
Anyways, back in the early days of the Blackberry infancy (circa 1998), RIM engineer, Matthais Wandel , was tasked with testing the 900Mhz model's reception, which varied by orientation and angle. So what did he concieve as a tool to aid in this testing? By what of course, none other then the LEGO ....
Matthias says , "I wanted to devise a systematic method for measuring how well the pager did in a certain environment. Because there are always variations as the pager is moved due to the RF fading environment, I decided to average this out by moving the pager through a predefined pattern."
Kudos Mr. Wandel, Kudos indeed.

In this article, we will explore the economic, social, health, criminal justice, and political effects of legal cannabis. By examining these different aspects, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of how cannabis has shaped our society.
The Role of Impact of Legal Cannabis in California in Society is certainly useful to know, many guides online will performance you approximately The Role of Impact of Legal Cannabis in California in Society, however i suggest you checking this The Role of Impact of Legal Cannabis in California in Society . I used this a couple of months ago later than i was searching upon google for The Role of Impact of Legal Cannabis in California in Society
So let’s delve into this topic with an objective and analytical approach to provide you with the information you desire.
The Economic Impact of Legal Cannabis in California
The economic impact of legal cannabis in California is significant, as the industry continues to grow exponentially. The legalization of cannabis has led to a substantial boost in economic growth and job creation throughout the state. According to a report by the University of California Agricultural Issues Center, the cannabis industry contributed $8.4 billion to California’s economy in 2019 alone. This figure is projected to increase significantly in the coming years as more businesses enter the market and consumer demand continues to rise.
Furthermore, the legalization of cannabis has created thousands of new jobs across various sectors such as cultivation, manufacturing, retail, and distribution. These employment opportunities have not only benefited individuals directly involved in the industry but have also had positive ripple effects on ancillary industries like packaging, security, and marketing.
The Social Impact of Legal Cannabis in California
With the legalization of cannabis in California, it’s clear that society is experiencing significant changes. The social impact of legal cannabis has been both positive and negative, as it brings about a shift in community integration and challenges existing social stigmas associated with marijuana use.
Community Integration: Legalization has led to the emergence of cannabis dispensaries, creating new businesses and job opportunities within communities. This integration allows for increased access to cannabis products for both medical and recreational purposes.
Social Stigma: The stigma surrounding cannabis use has begun to dissipate as more individuals openly discuss their experiences with marijuana. Legalization provides a platform for education and awareness, challenging misconceptions about its effects and benefits.
Cultural Shift: Cannabis consumption is becoming more normalized, especially among younger generations. This shift in culture reflects changing attitudes towards marijuana use, leading to increased acceptance within society.
Criminal Justice Reform: Legalization has also resulted in reduced criminal charges related to cannabis possession or distribution. This reform helps alleviate the burden on the criminal justice system while allowing law enforcement resources to focus on more serious crimes.
As we explore the social impact of legal cannabis in California, it becomes crucial to delve into its health effects without skipping a beat.
The Health Effects of Legal Cannabis in California
When exploring the health effects of legal cannabis in California, you may be interested to know how it can potentially impact your physical and mental well-being.
Medical benefits of cannabis have been widely recognized, with studies suggesting its effectiveness in alleviating pain, reducing nausea, and improving appetite for patients undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from certain medical conditions.
However, public perception surrounding cannabis use is varied. While some view it as a natural alternative to traditional medicine, others have concerns about addiction potential and long-term effects on brain development. It is important to note that individual responses to cannabis can vary greatly, and moderation is key when considering its use for medicinal purposes.
Transitioning into the subsequent section about the criminal justice impact of legal cannabis in California, we must now examine how its legalization has affected law enforcement policies and practices without undermining public safety.
The Criminal Justice Impact of Legal Cannabis in California
To understand how legalizing cannabis in California affects law enforcement, you should consider the changes it brings to policing strategies and priorities.
- Increased focus on violent crime: With cannabis offenses being decriminalized, law enforcement can redirect their efforts towards combating more serious crimes such as violence and theft.
- Reduction in racial disparities: The criminalization of cannabis has disproportionately affected communities of color. By legalizing it, the hope is to address these racial disparities within the criminal justice system.
- Shifting resource allocation: With fewer resources needed for cannabis-related offenses, law enforcement agencies can allocate their time and funding towards other pressing issues within their communities.
- Emphasis on education and prevention: Legalization allows for a greater emphasis on educating the public about responsible cannabis use and implementing preventive measures to ensure public safety.
By considering these factors, we can better comprehend the impact of legalizing cannabis on law enforcement’s practices and priorities.
This shift in focus has significant implications not only for policing but also for wider criminal justice reform efforts.
The Political Impact of Legal Cannabis in California
Legalizing cannabis in California has had a significant influence on the political landscape. The growing support for the legalization of cannabis has led to changes in the political discourse surrounding drug policy. Politicians are now more willing to publicly support marijuana legalization, realizing its popularity among voters. This shift in public opinion has forced politicians to reconsider their stance on cannabis and adapt their policies accordingly.
However, along with this newfound political support, comes regulatory challenges. The legalization of cannabis has created a need for comprehensive regulations to ensure public safety and control over cultivation, distribution, and consumption. Implementing effective regulations that strike a balance between access and regulation has proven challenging for lawmakers. Finding solutions that address concerns about underage use, impaired driving, and preventing the black market from thriving requires careful consideration and collaboration between various stakeholders.
Overall, legalizing cannabis in California has not only impacted political support but also presented regulatory challenges that require thorough examination and thoughtful solutions.
In conclusion, the legalization of cannabis in California has had significant impacts on various aspects of society.
From an economic standpoint, it has generated substantial revenue and created job opportunities.
Socially, it has brought about changes in attitudes towards cannabis use and provided access to safer products for consumers. However, the health effects are still being studied and understood.
On the criminal justice front, there have been positive outcomes with reduced arrests related to cannabis offenses.
Lastly, the political landscape has seen shifts as more states consider similar legislation.
Overall, the impact of legal cannabis in California is multidimensional and continues to shape our society.

This Momentary Marriage Author:John Piper The chasm between the biblical vision of marriage and the common human conception is--and has always been--enormous. Some cultures in history respect the importance and the permanence of marriage more than others. Some, like the twenty-first-century Western world, have such low, casual, take-it-or-leave-it attitudes toward marriage as to make th... more »e biblical vision seem ludicrous to most people.
Marriage is a momentary but glorious gift. It is more than a husband's and wife's love for each other--vastly more. Its meaning is infinitely great: the display of the covenant-keeping love between Jesus and his people. This Momentary Marriage unpacks the biblical vision, its unexpected contours, and its weighty implications for married, single, divorced, and remarried alike.« less

Feb. 12-14: UD Celebrates Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is actually known as the Spring Festival in China and is regarded as the most important holiday there. Putting posters of “door gods” on front doors, cleaning the house, hosting a large family dinner, and celebrating with a lantern parade, lion dance and fireworks are among the holiday traditions.
On Saturday, Feb. 12, starting at 7 p.m. in Mitchell Hall, an evening of traditional Chinese New Year festivities will be presented. The Jilin University troupe will be a special guest at this event, which is co-sponsored by the University of Delaware Chinese Students and Scholars Association and the Confucius Institute, with the support of the Delaware Chinese American Association. Admission is $5 per person.
On Sunday, Feb. 13, a poster exhibition will be held in the Roselle Center for the Arts. At 7 p.m. in the center’s Puglisi Orchestra Hall, the Jilin University Art Troupe will present an exclusive performance of song, dance, short plays and more, from traditional Chinese opera, to kung fu and tai chi. The events are free.
On Monday, Feb. 14, the art troupe will present at Wilmington Friends School, starting at 10 a.m.


Editor’s note: This column was written for the Dec. 28 edition, but wasn’t published because of early holiday deadlines.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas with family, friends, and above all, Christ. Personally, I love it when families get together for his birthday parties!
I also love it when everyone is nice. The simple things like simply speaking to strangers and watching them smile just makes the season.
But for me at least the high point of the whole season - after the birth of Christ of course - is family!

Statement of the Organizers of the “Online World Conference: No Nukes, Climate Justice, Peace“, April 25, 2020
On January 23, 2020 The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists set the hands of its iconic “Doomsday Clock” to 100 seconds to midnight, a dramatic warning from 13 Nobel Prize winners about the existential dangers of nuclear weapons and climate crisis.
75 years after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the worldwide cry of “never again”, the warnings of the Hibakusha must never be forgotten.
75 years after the end of the Second World War and the oath “never again to fascism – never again to war”; we must remain steadfast in our commitments.
75 years after the founding of the United Nations with the objective of ending war; its charter and commitments must be honored.
50 years after entry-into-force of the NPT, with the goal of ending the nuclear arms race and achieving nuclear disarmament; its commitments must be fulfilled.
We are far from the humanistic objectives and the ideals formulated as a consequence of civilization’s most murderous war and the development of weapons of mass destruction that can destroy humanity.
With the world now suffering from millions of COVID-19 cases and hundreds of thousands of related deaths, the pandemic has illuminated national and international systemic weaknesses, policy failures and a profound lack of international cooperation. Yet, in crisis there is opportunity. The pandemic has also illustrated ways in which we can prepare for the inevitable future pandemics, as well as to reverse the threats posed by nuclear weapons and the climate crisis.
We call for fundamental changes.
The vision for the 20th century elaborated in the Charter of the United Nations must become reality in the 21st century.
- We are confronted with existential challenges: nuclear weapons and wars that can destroy the planet in short order and the creeping destruction caused by climate change, ecological devastation, and pandemic threats. Militarization is increasing dramatically in Europe and other parts of the world.
- We are confronted by a world of enormous social injustices, massive impoverishment and a dramatically widening gap between the 1% and the 99%. One billion children go hungry every day, and the increased vulnerability of workers and the poor to the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the abysmal inadequacies and injustices of the international system.
- We are confronted with an increasing number of authoritarian governments and the growth of far-right radicalism and fascist threats. Undemocratic, dictatorial politics increasingly influence and dominate the political climate in more and more countries around the world, endangering the lives of minorities and migrants. Even the most fundamental democratic rights are in danger. Democracy is in a deep crisis.
- We are confronted with the fact that governments and corporations – as well as individuals – are exploiting our earth with ever increasing intensity, as if we could easily rectify the environmental degradation or move to another planet. Man-made climate change is becoming a daily threat to life and survival, while other ecological disasters threaten our coexistence and the shaping of the future for humans, other animals, and plants.
The beneficiaries of these developments are few, while the vast majority of people on planet Earth are affected and suffer. Millions of refugees have been generated by wars, injustice, and ecological disasters on a global scale.
But where there are challenges, dangers, and oppression, there is also resistance and struggle for change!
Neoliberalism, which encompasses wars, environmental destruction, and increased vulnerability to pandemics, is being met worldwide with increasing rejection and protest every day.
We are part of the global trend for change along with diverse worldwide, grassroots, and “mosaic” movements for peace, justice, sustainability, and real security. Through collaborative actions and resistance, often international, a new culture of peace is being created; historical borders and barriers are being overcome in favor of collective action.
We are not yet strong enough to turn the tide in favor of peace, democracy, and justice, but centers of change are emerging worldwide. We need more movements and campaigns to reach our goals.
We will therefore continue to work tirelessly for:
- Immediate fulfillment of Article 6 of the NPT, which requires cessation of the arms race and the elimination of nuclear weapons.
- Early entry-into-force of the TPNW as an important and reinforcing step towards a nuclear weapons-free world.
- Early establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Weapons as agreed by the States parties to the NPT.
- Regional détente processes to end conflicts and arms racing in all regions of the world including South Asia, North East Asia, and Europe.
- Global disarmament with just transition for workers in the weapons industry and a policy of détente that reduces conflicts and favors peaceful conflict resolution is essential. Military budgets should be slashed worldwide, with those funds redirected to meet human needs and protect the environment. The Sustainable Development Goals, at the center of efforts to redistribute resources from militarism to peace, can only be realized through disarmament.
As peace and social movements, as well as trade unions, in the tradition of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela, we stand in solidarity with the weak and oppressed of this world, including those suffering in poverty, migrants, refugees, and victims of authoritarian, undemocratic regimes. We need participatory democracy, respect for truth and science, and racial, gender, and economic justice, as much as we need the air we breathe.
We face the challenges of the globalized world of the 21st century. We know that peace is not sufficient in and of itself, but without peace, everything is at risk. Peace and justice will only be achieved through engagement of the people, working with peace and other social movements and their networks of cooperation all over the world.
We are committed to continuing our collaborations and organizing together for a better world with solidarity
We will resist and prevail!

From Honolulu, Hawaii, USA:
I am quite discouraged about not being able to get my blood glucose below 200 mg/dl [11.1 mmol/L] very often. I do not drink, and I have given up peanut butter cups along a lot of other things so it is quite discouraging. I am wondering about peppermint life savers.
It's hard to give up the "treats" that we like. Have you spoken with your physician? It sounds like you might benefit from a session or two with a diabetes education team, including a dietitian.
Additional comments from Dr. Philip Ledereich:You should review your diet and medication regimen with your physician and dietitian. Ask your physician if it is okay to exercise. Hopefully, you will be in better control.
[Editor's comment: You do not tell us whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes or what treatment you are currently on. In any case, I wholeheartedly agree with Dr Schwartz and Dr Ledereich. If you are not currently being followed by a diabetes team, please ask for a referral so that a treatment plan can be devised to meet the demands of your lifestyle and improve your glucose control.

I think this is the most appropriate way to count down the days of training camp this summer. I am counting from Saturday, July 30.
You hear that the Redskins are "in the mix" for a player here and there, but so far all of the action at Redskins Park has--to the national observer--been somewhat pedestrian. I know...I don't know what to with myself either. Even though I am petrified to play the Eagles this year, I am glad we did not employ their offseason strategy. Had we embarked on a classic Snyderesque tour of the nation, gathering names and big contracts, it would have been the biggest mistake we could have made. Give credit to Shanahan and Allen for sticking to their guns and going with youth, inexperience and (cross your fingers!) potential. It takes a huge pair of coconuts to trot out John Beck and/or Rex Grossman against that Eagles defense. If I am John Beck, I am probably hiring a lawyer, because his life is going to be in legitimate peril.
So Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan continue down the rebuilding path, shying away from the "missing piece" signings that have previously plagued this franchise. As some of the training camp battles get underway in earnest, I think we will all consider a best-case scenario or two that could carry us to being competitive in 2011.
But I urge all of you to enjoy something not seen very often around here: a meaningful dedication to developing young talent. If the rookies can't make immediate contributions, we have a few middle-tier veteran options to keep the seats warm. Enjoy watching guys like Leonard Hankerson learn on the job. Enjoy seeing if one of the young linebackers can emerge as a long-term solution in the middle.
Take a minute or two and enjoy the part of the journey we have been robbed of in recent years: the hard work that goes into building a legitimate contender. Every drop of 2011 sweat will pay dividends for the next three to five years. As fans, it is exciting because we will see guys emerge this year that will be contributors in burgundy and gold for a long time. It truly is the kind of season that players, coaches and fans all invest themselves in equally. For those that buy into this program from any of these categories, the payoff will be greatest.

|Search this one out for National Poetry Month!|
Where My Wellies TakeMe… (Templar Books, an imprint of Candlewick Press, 2012) is the kind of book publishers don’t really publish much anymore, and when you see it, you’ll wish they did.
Subtitled “A Childhood Scrapbook with Poems and Pictures,” this is the perfect kind of poetry book for people who say they don’t like poems.
Clare and Michael Morpurgo have collected about forty short poems, accessible for kids, and for adults who say they hate verse. Olivia Gill has illustrated and designed the book, which is layered with imagery: pressed flowers, postcards, maps on lift-up flaps.
Giving all of these various bits focus is the character of Pippa. She’s a girl staying with her aunt and exploring the countryside at random, wherever her boots (wellies) will take her. Pippa is a fictional character and her mini-story ties the poems and pictures together.
Where My Wellies Take Me… has been shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, the UK’s prize for children’s book illustrations. (The winner will be announced in June.)
Not bad considering Wellies is Gill’s first book, and extremely lovely at that.

Most people know that calcium is an extremely important part of the body, crucial to making sure your bones remain healthy and strong throughout life. However, bones are not actually made from pure calcium. Instead, they’re made from calcium phosphate — a combination of calcium and phosphorous.
The body needs calcium phosphate to keep bones strong, especially if they have been damaged or broken and are in the middle of a healing process. If your body lacks calcium, it will start to leech calcium from your bones in order to keep the amount of calcium in your blood consistent.
Most people are not at significant risk of phosphorous deficiency, but it’s important to make sure that you get enough calcium. Calcium is found in relatively large amounts in dairy products such as milk and cheese. Both calcium and calcium phosphate can be found in supplements.
When Might It Be Necessary To Take Calcium Phosphate Supplements?
Every once in a while, someone might be in a situation where calcium phosphate supplements are very important. Your doctor can tell you more about this and make you aware of the best ways to get more calcium phosphate.
Calcium phosphate is not only used to help accelerate the healing process when bones get broken, but can also be valuable for your teeth. Hydroxyapatite is a type of calcium phosphate used in the building of both bones and teeth.
Those whose teeth are prone to cavities and damage despite a complete regimen of dental health care may take calcium phosphate as a supplement or might use specialized toothpaste that has it as one of the main ingredients.
Calcium phosphate is associated with higher bone density, which helps your bones to maintain the balanced relationships between your muscles and organs. Higher bone density will also protect elders better from the possible consequences of falls.
