Corporate Responsibility
At HTC®, we are committed to making innovative products in a responsible manner – respecting people, the communities in which we operate and the environment. Our global corporate responsibility standards and sustainability goals are designed to:
- Create a sustainable, rewarding work environment where employees thrive.
- Minimize our environmental impact as we bring products to market.
- Sustain a responsible supply chain that has minimal environmental impact and a manufacturing supplier base that supports and adheres to our expected corporate and social standards.
Our business success and ability to innovate is directly tied to the well-being of our most valuable asset, our employees. The character of our company and ability to create a sustainable, rewarding work environment is defined by personal integrity and honesty of our employees, as we endeavor to adhere to responsible, honest and ethical business practices.
Human Rights
We are committed to upholding the fundamental principles of human rights for all of our workers. Specifically, with regard to our factory workers, our respect for the protection and preservation of human rights is guided by the principles set forth in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Our relationship with our employees, customers and suppliers, and with the countries and communities in which we operate, reflect the principles set forth and referred to herein. Additionally, we promote freely chosen employment, and prohibit harassment and discrimination.
Working Hours
We endeavor to provide a balanced work schedule consistent with local labor practices for our employees. With regard to our factory workers, we follow standards established by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) to limit excessive overtime. Manufacturing suppliers are required to follow our Supplier Code of Conduct and implement at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in every seven-day period.
Health and Safety
We strive to create a healthy and safe working environment for our employees. For example, our factory employees receive ongoing health and safety training as required for their jobs and our manufacturing facilities are closely managed through proper design, engineering and administrative controls, preventative maintenance, and establishing safe work procedures. Inspections are performed on a regular basis.
Our Health and Safety guidelines are updated on an annual basis to reflect current health and safety conditions. The guidelines include managing hazardous materials, and reducing workplace injuries and hazardous materials. Certified under OHSAS18001:2007 for occupational health and safety management system, we have also implemented automation in certain parts of the assembly process in our own factories to reduce risk of repetitive strain injuries.
Key components of our Health and Safety guidelines:
- Providing appropriate controls, safe work procedures, preentative maintenance, safety equipment, and other protective measures to mitigate health and safety risks in the workplace.
- Developing an emergency response policy to train, notify and evacuate employees in the event of an emergency.
- Encouraging factory employees to participate in company-sponsored wellness programs. At our manufacturing facilities in Taiwan and China we currently offer gym membership, onsite health consultations and wellness screening services.
Non-discrimination and Harassment
Diversity is a core value of our global corporate culture and it helps us meet the changing needs of our customers, communities and partners. We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate in employment and personnel practices on the basis of race, sex, age, physical or mental disability, religion, national origin or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws.
No Child Labor
Child labor is a very serious issue and we take proactive measures to prevent the use of under-aged labor in our own manufacturing facilities as well as those of our manufacturing suppliers. We mandate proof of age for employment to ensure we meet all local labor laws and requirements. Our Supplier Code of Conduct for manufacturing suppliers restricts any form of unfair labor practices and clearly articulates our expectation that all factory workers are of the legal working age. In addition, we regularly conduct labor audits and communicate our expectations on fair labor practices to our manufacturing suppliers.
We aim to continuously find innovative ways to reduce energy consumption, eliminate waste, and reuse materials to minimize our impact on the environment and develop a sustainable footprint.
Energy Use and Emissions
To reduce our emissions and lower our carbon footprint, we have designed a very short supply chain and most of our suppliers' factories are located close to our main manufacturing sites in Taoyuan, Taiwan, and Shanghai, China. Our engineers and designers are focused on designing devices that are more energy efficient. In addition, we enforce the standards in our Supplier Code of Conduct with our manufacturing suppliers and review environmental practices during audits of such suppliers. We also monitor our greenhouse gas sources and emissions in compliance with ISO 14064-1 standards.
Management of Harmful Substances and Materials
The proper management of waste, chemicals and other materials is critical to the protection of the environment and the health and safety of our factory employees. We require our manufacturing suppliers to comply with applicable laws and industry standards, such as the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS). We have several programs dedicated to assuring proper management and control of waste materials, including supplier compliance audits, factory inspections, and the safe handling and storage of chemicals and waste materials. We have also implemented an inspection system employing chemical and physical analysis and document collection throughout our supply chain to reduce or eliminate substances of environmental concern.
Reuse and Recycling
For us, waste reduction begins with reducing waste production at the source. We are committed to reducing the volume of industrial waste from our manufacturing processes and increasing resource recycling. This commitment has resulted in us maintaining an average annual recycling rate of 60 percent of production waste. In HTC's main offices, all packaging and waste materials such as cardboard boxes, containers and plastic packaging material are collected and separated for recycling. Further, we look for ways to reduce waste, such as by implementing a take-back program in the U.S. which enables consumers to return used electronic devices at no cost for reuse or recycling and introducing a pilot program to remove device chargers from our sales packaging.
Environmental Management and Reporting
We have obtained the ISO 14000 series of certifications for environmental management to continually minimize our environmental impact and comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other environmental standards. Our certifications include:
- ISO 14001:2004 to set out the criteria for an environmental management system, which includes reducing cost of waste management and saving in consumption of energy and materials.
- ISO 14064-1:2006 to report greenhouse gas emissions and removals, which includes requirements for the design, development, management, reporting and verification of our greenhouse gas inventory.
- ISO 50001:2011 to promote continual improvement for energy saving, which includes legal and regulatory requirements compliance and best practices for energy efficiency measures.
- IECQ QC 080000 HSPM to maintain hazardous substance-free product design and manufacturing processes, which includes compliance with laws and industry standards and minimal impact on the environment.
Supply Chain
As a condition of working with us, we require our manufacturing suppliers to adhere to the principles and standards of HTC's Supplier Code of Conduct with respect to people, health and safety and the environment. Download our Supplier Code of Conduct for more details. We conduct regular audits of our manufacturing suppliers to ensure compliance and closely monitor any supplier that is deemed to be at risk of breaching our Code of Conduct.
Supplier Code of Conduct
HTC's Supplier Code of Conduct (Code) describes our corporate and social responsibility requirements for manufacturing suppliers. As a condition of doing business with HTC, we expect our manufacturing suppliers (and their suppliers) to acknowledge and implement these requirements and ensure responsible business practices. We regularly assess compliance to these requirements and factor adherence to these requirements when making partnership selections.
The labor, environment, health and safety, and ethics requirements outlined in the Code are consistent with internationally-recognized standards established by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), the United Nations, and theInternational Labor Organization (ILO). Our Code covers:
- Labor and human rights, including the prevention of child and involuntary labor, fair treatment, freedom of association and regulatory compliance.
- Health and Safety practices, including emergency preparedness planning and occupational safety policies.
- Environmental policies, including pollution prevention, waste management and regulatory compliance.
- Ethics and integrity, including conflict-free mineral sourcing policy, privacy and fair business practices.
- Management system, including legal and regulatory compliance, audits and assessment and documentation.
Supplier Audit Program
Manufacturing supplier audits are a critical component of ensuring the integrity of our supply chain. Therefore, we actively manage the auditing process and have a dedicated supplier audit team that travels to manufacturing suppliers' sites to ensure they are meeting local regulatory requirements and adhering to our Supplier Code of Conduct. Our supplier audit team is responsible for auditing our manufacturing suppliers on a regular basis, including labor, environment and health and safety compliance. We follow industry-recognized and internationally-accepted standards such as the guidelines established for electronic companies by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC). Suppliers that are identified as having compliance issues are informed and are immediately tasked to create remediation plans that address the identified issues.
Responsible Sourcing
Our sourcing policy requires raw materials used in our products to be extracted, processed and produced in a responsible manner consistent with our environmental and ethical policies. The use of conflict minerals in the electronics industry is a significant issue. As a member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), we subscribe to the EICC Code of Conduct, which requires participants to adopt a sourcing policy that will ensure that the tantalum (also known as coltan), tin, tungsten and gold minerals used in their products do not benefit armed groups that perpetrate human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo and surrounding area. Since traceability remains difficult, HTC has stopped sourcing minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African region altogether. As a condition of doing business with HTC, our suppliers must acknowledge and agree to our responsible sourcing policy. We review our suppliers' mineral sourcing practices through our supplier audit program.
Being a good global citizen starts with being a good local citizen. We support a range of programs in our communities that include academics and education, environmental protection, culture and arts and volunteer services. For example:
- In Taiwan, through the HTC Foundation, our headquarters' employees promote character-building programs and classes for children and young adults, as part of an effort to encourage civic participation. Since 2008, the foundation's Pan Shi (translation "Bedrock") Education Project has provided a total of NT$ 24 million in funding, training and scholarships for 100 different schools, and 68,000 teachers and students throughout Taiwan.
- We partner with World Vision Taiwan to provide education funding for children from low-income households in Central America and Africa.
- In North America, our US headquarters sponsors the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club and contributes to the TXL (Teen Excellence) Center which provides middle and high school students with technology-related skills and creativity.
- We also provide a number of scholarships for students from low-income households in China's remote northwest regions, Sichuan Province, Liaoning Province and Qinghai Province, and have done so since 2007.

N.H. 4-H members attend National Congress
Sunday, December 16, 2012
ATLANTA, Ga. — Five 4-H members from New Hampshire recently attended the National 4-H Congress in Atlanta, GA. National 4-H Congress is one of the premiere experiences that 4-H members from across the country participate.
The conference theme this year "Become a Catalyst of Change" was demonstrated throughout the conference with large-scale community service projects, cultural enrichment opportunities, workshops, and multiple motivational speakers.
Robidas said, "I think my favorite part was the speakers. Each of them had a different story, but all of them stressed believing in yourself, believing in those around you, and not limiting yourself to what's easy." |

Return of the Hexagons
40 comments:
Last year when you showed me your little bag of hexies I purchased some papers and have put together my own little plastic bag will travel but the really fun thing I did was put together a little sewing kit for my sister's bday last week and I included a bag of already cut out fabric and paper pieces...she wants to learn how to quilt and I thought this would be perfect while she was sitting watching tv too!:)
She loved it!!:)
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Ok so who else if anyone watched this new show last night?
I thought it was great. First it's a change from the Hollywood formula of "aliens attack, we defeat them, the end." It's about the alien occupation of Earth and Humans trying to survive/fight a resistance war.
One of the best things about this show so far is the realistice take on the characters. They seem like real people with real problems. For instance loss of family and having to work together in an organized but informal way.
Having the aliens be non-humanoid is a great touch. They also don't speak in a way that we'd understand. So far much of them is a mystery. I hope it stays that way.
The cast works well. I wasn't a Noah Wyle fan before this but I think I'll be one now. Moon Bloodgood in a series is great. Will Patton does his thing as a tough guy leader and having real life retired Captain Dale Dye helps with the military aspect of both the character and the writing.

The College News ('niivrii.hr }Q?7 hvTiir fniiir.1 Nwwt * ^"^^ ^Sl Copyright, 1922, by The College Kiwi Volume IX. No. 8.* BRYN MAWR, PA,; WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1922 Price 10 Cents LABOR SCHOOL STUDENTS "DESCRIBE SUMMER WORK Haroldine Humphries Lays Emphasis Enthusiasm of Summer School Students on STUDENTS INTERCHANGE IDEAS Four Summer School students, back at Bryu Mawr for the .meeting of the Joint Administrative 'Committee, and H. Hum- phries, '23, who was in charge of the sch7>ol dramatics,- explained .different phases of the school ,jit an open meeting last Sat- urday night. "Women today are new in industry; the greater part go to work at a very early ajjc," explained Tilly Lindsay, president of the school Alumnae Association, who has spent (wo summers at Hryn Mawr. "They have many problems to face, more even than they* know about, and Rryn Mawr offers them an opportunity to find out the truth about problems Jhat they will in- evitably have to face."*Qnc of the great advahtages of the school, according to Miss Lindsay, is that it brings students from all parts of the country together, and gives them new ideas and new points of view. Maude Folcy, also a second year student, described the subjects studied at the school -She commended very highly the course in Psychology and Hygiene, deeming the lat- ter very necessary for women in industry "Students at Bryn Mawr," she concluded, "'take back to their industries many help- ful and recreational activities." "It is a pity that we'of the 'Winter School' anil the Summer School do not know more about each othcrf since we are forced to live with each other's ghosts,' declared Haroldine Humphries. "The un- dergraduates who return for the summer were intended to help with athletics and make themselves generally useful. It wa- also originally intended that they should adopt some of the Winter School traditions This plan, however, did not jpork, and the Summer School has developed traditions ol its own." Miss Humphries alst> mentioned the many advantages gained Iry Under graduates who spent four or more week; at the school. She spoke of it as an economics laboratory where one learned many things t�at books had forgotten to - CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 * SELF-GOVERNMENT PASSES SEVEN RESOLUTIONS Freshmen to be. Restricted in Theatre- Going Privileges Without Chaperones , SUNDAY TENNIS DISCUSSED Measures regarding smoking and Knick- ers as passed at the last meeting were con- firmed, the theatre-going regulation was amended and questions of tennis on Sun- day and other matters were voted upon at the meeting of the Self-Government A'sso ciation last evening. The motion that students be allowed to gO to the theatre, concert or opera with a man uncbaperoned if escorted back to col- lege immediately alter tOC performance, was amended to the effect that' freshmen be allowed to do this only when given special permission by the Hoard. In spite of the freshman straw vote 54-18 in favor of the regulation, considerable discussion was aroused. The question of discrimina- tion was brought up from several points of view, one freshman remarking, "Since the. whole .of Serf-Government depends upon honor, freshmen should be trusted as much � BS any one." Miss Strauss, however, poipted out that it would not be derogatory to honor as the Board would trust fresh- men absolutely if they said they were allowed to go unchaperoncd at home. The amendment 'was accepted and the whohLI resolution was carried. But il cannot Wr' HOCKEY TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD IN PHILADELPHIA Inter-city hockey matches, representing Philadelphia, New York, Richmond, Boston and Chicago, will be played in a tourna- incnt_ in Philadelphia'during Thanksgiving vacation.

An all-star English team will also play and individuals may compete. Yassar ex- pects t<> send players and Hryn Mawr may do tin same.

Tickets are 55 cents and are on sale in the Alumnae Room. CONSTANTINOPLE CHANGING; VEILED LADIES THINGS OF PAST Turks Leave Homes Rather Than Live Under British Occupation MR. SURRETTE TO GIVE NEW SERIES OF MUSICAL LECTURES THIS YEAR Palestrina Choir^to Sing Monday "The Development of Choral Music" will be the-first of a new series of lecture recitals which will be given by Mr. Thomas Whitney Surrette, Director of the Depart- ment of Music, beginning Monday evening, November 27, in Taylor Hall. The Pales- trina Choir of Philadelphia, of seventy-five � voices, will sing a program of ancient and modern choral music, following Mr. Sur- rette's explanatory lecture. �The lectures will be conducted on the same plan as- last year. At each recital Mr. Surrette will give an historical sketch of the composers and a descriptive analysis of the works to be performed Iwforc the actual rendering. The development of song, Brahms, Cesar, Franck, Debussy and Ravel, will be the topics of the other lectures. Mr. _ Surrette wHl be assisted in his illus- trations, in addition to th^i'alcstrina Choir. by Mr. Horace Alwync, the Lctz String Quartet, Marie Langston-List, contralto: Madge Fairfax, mezzo-soprano; Pauline* Thayer, violin; and Henry T. Michaux viola into effect yet as it involves one of the original laws of the constitution and thus has still to go before the Board of Trus- tees. This same formality applies to the regulation passed at the last meeting, re- garding the movies in Ardmore. Smoking in private houses, wearing atb ili< knickers with the same privileges as hockey skirts, and non-athletic knickers for sports, were passed without discussion. Playing cards in the drawing rooms on any day except Sunday was anonymously car- ried. .Regulations for the victrolas were then discussed. There was a suggestion that they be played at any time except quiet hours, Imt this was defeated out of consideration for the people whose rooms are neaTby. As finally carried the motion provides that victrolas may be played 1.30 to 2(H) any day except Sunday, 6.00 to 7.30 Monday to Thursday inclusive, ami 6.00 to ''.ft) Friday and Saturday. The Head Proctors may give permission to play them at other times. LastJy the question of playing tennis on Sunday was brought up. A motion that it should be permitted all day was defeated as it,was pointed .out that the clubs arounfl Philadelphia do not allow sports Sunday morning lest it should seem to discourage church-going, and that if Bryn Mawr did this it would react unfavorably on the repu- tation of the College. It was finally voted to allow tennis on-Sunday afternoons only. This could not be counted as exercise since a rule of the Association already forbids athletic costume on campus on Sunday after breakfast. This motion, however, .does not go into effect yet as it must stiff pass the Athletic Association which has a rule now against any sort of athletics on campus on Sunday. � Miss Ward closed the meeting by ex- plaining the necessity of signing up a com- prehensible address in the book on going away from college and, urged that callers be promptly dismissed at 10.30. The war- dens have taken �>ff the rule that callers should leave-at 10.00, but it is awkward for (them if people are not prompt in leaving. (Specially contributed by Professor Qrorptam Goddord King) Two things struck us forcibly last sum- 'iHcr, in Constantinople, among all the facts that everybody told us : the first that there was no "colour" left there ; the other, that ?since the Allied occupation, half the Turk ish population had gone. The first we could see for ourselves ;. the wild dog>. were gone, the veiled ladies. Turbans were few. and small, and worn only by elderly men, conceivably ecclesi astical ; the long flapping gown was ever rarer; and sad-colored or faded in hue Tlu- red fez, of course, was everywhere but "the Laze boatmen who rowed 'GUI caiques up the Golden Horn were dressed otherwise, like Neapolitan fishers and Ye netian gondoliers. The gentlewomen win strolled and sat about at The Sweet Water: of \sia on a Friday afternoon, wore gen erally a shortish skirt,* a. cape to match and veil over the hair, that fastened under the chin, while terracotta, bronze green or maroon were commoner shades than daffodil or rose-color. Three of them came one day, with pretty courtesy, t� act as volunteer guides in the Imperial Museum. One of them was a student, one had her University degree, one was mar ricd. "Do your husbands like you to run around and show your faces?" we asked and the answer came with a laugh and ." shrug. "Oh! our husbands are even more modern than we!" If lack of local coloi is due to modernity all along the line, and modernity means a freer democracy, a; Zia Bey has shown in this week's Nation then we must not regret the change. The other fact was graver and one can but hope that it was not wholly true ; for it carries terrible implications, if half tht people of the town would sooner leave their native home and go" into danger and exile and misery than remain under British rule. The state of a refugee is very wretched; we saw once an old mosqiM filled with Turkish refugees, women, chil drcn. and old men; and elsewhere, a mosque yard, where Armenians had sett tad down into a kind of tattered permanency With these sights before him, a man would think long before taking helpless creature away from their birthplace and their own natural land. For that is what we came to see more and more as we went aboig, week by week, CONTINUED ON PACE 5 JUNIORS DEFEAT SENIORS IN LAST GAME OF FINALS For Firrt Time in Junior's History Light Blue Banner is Hung. From the Gymnasium , TEAMS CLASH IN TENSE FIGHT Winning the second place of ibe first team finals yesterday with a score of 6-2, the Juniors have earned, for the first time ' in their college career, the 'right* to'bang their banner on the (iymmrsium. The game .was marked by hard, tease fighting and by a-complete lack of s|>ec- toCUhw plav,. The Juniors' advantage lay in their defense, which kept the ball in the opponents territory during most, of the gamc.- V. Corse, '2J,. proved excellent at securing the ball and passing quickly, but her most determined efforts Failed to com- pensate for the disorganization of the Green backfield, which lacked one of its most dependable players. F. Martin, cen- '-'' forward for the Seniors, was badly handicapped by a stiff tendon in her knee, which prevented her running' quickly. F. Begg Junior forward, proved adept at evading the Senior backs, but in general the play of both of the forward lines was decidedly mediocre. At the end of the sec ond half the Green team rallied and .Martin shot, in rapid succession, the only two goals, which the Seniors scored. During the same half, the Juniors sang "Who Does." a class hoodoo, with the result that P. Begg, '24, was'immediately hit in the head by a hockey stick and disabled foT iln rest of tlu- game. The tii st name of the finals, which the Juniors also won, score 6-3, showed far better teanvwork and a far greater degree of personal brilliancy. M. Adams, '23. K. Vincent, '2i, and M. Faries, '24, played especially well. Vfter the final game tile Seniors took their banner down from Pembroke Arch with the usual ceremony of cheering, and tin- Junior banner was hung .above the entrance to the Gymnasium, where 1922's has hung since they won the All-around- athletic Championship last year. CONTINrF.li on PAGE 3 INTEREST IN MAJORS SHOWS DECIDED RISE AND FALL Psychology "Gaining in Popularity Major subjects of great popularity ten or fifteen years ago are being rapidly super- seded by others, according to statistics pre- pared for the president's yearly report. Last year the biggest major class was Kconomics and Politics, with thirty-four students in all, a number which has never been equalled since 1914. The numbers in History groups have been increasing, and reached the climax in 1919 with thirty-five students. Since then they have dropped to twenty, twenty-two, and twenty-seven "atin, a subject so scorned last year that it had one sole major, was until 1910 the most desired of subjects. Psychology in seven years has increased from ten to double that number, and French, always the most popular foreign language, last year even heal the old Stand-by* Knglish, by two points. The News takes great pleasure in an nouncing that K. Glessncr, '25, has been made an associate editor.

Toys will be distributed to the applicants on Saturday, Dec. 22, at the East Lebanon Fire Station between the hours of 1 and 3 p.m.
"Last year, we added a visit by Santa to the houses of about 230 Lebanon children on the two days before Christmas, which was not only amazing for the children and families themselves, but for the responders as well," Lebanon Rescue Chief Samantha Cole said in a prepared statement. "To see the looks on the children's faces was amazing. When we pulled up in the ambulance and had the kids yell, 'Santa is here!' and just see their smiles will live with the responders for many years to come.
"This year, we will be once again collecting new, unwrapped toys to help children in town who have suffered a traumatic event like a loss of a loved one. We do this in addition to the Operation Santa, which provides a toy to any child in town who would like a free visit from Santa."
Residents who want to drop off toys to help Lebanon children can drop them off at the following locations on Carl Broggi Highway: Kenney Automotive, Stokewoods Restaurant, Lebanon House of Pizza, Trains QuickStop and in the blue box outside the Lebanon Rescue Station.
Toys are needed for ages newborn right through teenagers. Last year, due to the generosity of the residents, the rescue department was able to help 225 kids through "Operation Santa" and about 20 families additionally through the toys for families who have suffered a traumatic event. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 23.
Residents who wish to make a monetary donation can mail them to: Lebanon Rescue Corporation — Operation Santa, 323 Depot Road, Lebanon, Maine 04027.
In addition to pie-making, families will also build their own centerpieces and enjoy festive holiday activities.
There will be a welcome reception, open to the public, for Connolly on Thursday, Dec. 6, from 6 to 7 p.m., before the start of the school board meeting at Noble High School at 388 Somersworth Road in North Berwick.

Elbow replacement is surgery to replace the elbow joint with artificial joint parts (prosthetics ).
The elbow joint connects two bones:
The artificial elbow joint has two stems made of high-quality metal. A metal and plastic hinge joins the stems together and allows the artificial joint to bend. Artificial joints come in different sizes to fit different size people.
You will receive general anesthesia before surgery. This means you will be asleep and pain-free during surgery. Some patient may also receive regional anesthesia. You will also be given medicine to help you relax.
Your surgeon will make an cut on the back of your arm to show your elbow joint. The damaged tissue and parts of the arm bones that make up the elbow joint are removed.
A drill is used to make a hole in the center of the two arm bones. The end of the artificial artificial elbow joint are placed into each bone. They are connected with a hinge. The tissue around the elbow is repaired.
The wound is closed with stitches, and a bandaged is applied. Your arm may be placed in a splint to keep it stable.
Total elbow arthroplasty; Endoprosthetic elbow replacement
Elbow replacement surgery is usually done if the elbow joint is badly damaged and you have pain or cannot use your arm. Some causes of damage are:
The risks for any anesthesia are:
The risks for any surgery are:
Additional risks of elbow replacement surgery are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, including drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You may stay in the hospital for up to 2 or 3 days.
You may have a splint on your arm to help keep your elbow still.
Physical therapy will be needed to help you gain strength and use of your arm. It will start with gentle flexing exercises. People who have a splint usually start therapy a few weeks later than those who do not have a splint.
Some people may start to have use of their new elbow as soon as 12 weeks after surgery. Complete recovery can take up to a year. There may be limits to how much weight you can lift. Talk to your doctor or nurse about your limitations.
Elbow replacement surgery eases pain for most people. A second elbow replacement surgery is usually not as successful as the first one.

Love the style
I have the wine glasses so when these came out I had to get them. They are stylish and fun!!!!

very unique
I purchased these glasses as a gift for a martini lover and I am sure she will love them as much as I do!
May 19, 2014
Attractive but not perfect
I purchased four of these glasses as a gift.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how large and substantial these glasses are and the palm etchings were done well.
However, for $22 per glass I was very disappointed to find several flaws and imperfections in the clear areas of the bowls.
January 6, 2014
Great looks and very practical
The martini glasses are my latest purchase in the etched glass series. I have both the red and white wine glass series, the cocktail glass series and now the martini glasses. I think these are a great value, elegant looking and provide users with a sense of satisfaction. I would recommend this glassware to anyone.

These make a wonderful gift for your favorite martini drinker
My friend Linda & I are convinced that lemon drop martini's are the best beverage to share conversation over in the hot summer. And they taste better in these beautiful glasses!
October 22, 2013
Very disappointed.
Not happy with these as the pattern is different from the previous ones we had purchased. Stated to look like palm fronds but appear to look more like bamboo. These were purchased to complete our set, as we have all the other matching glasses and needed a few more of the martini. Just looks like a poor substitution of some sort.
July 3, 2013
Casual Elegance!
Love, love, love these martini glasses! We had a set, and a guest recently broke one. We were so disappointed and immediately went on a search to replace it.
We stopped in our local TB shop, and even though they didn't stock the glasses, the sales professional went online to order a new set for us. Couldn't be easier!

These glasses are so beautiful and hold a nice sized martini. Cheers!

Funny Girl: Exclusive Interview with Melissa McCarthy
The hilarious Melissa McCarthy shares the secret to her amazing self-confidence. Plus: how she's raising strong daughters and having a wacky, wonderful holiday
Watch a behind-the-scenes video of Melissa McCarthy's cover shoot!
By David A. Keeps
Special Offers
Melissa McCarthy will do anything for a laugh. The wisecracking, Emmy Award-winning costar of CBS's Mike & Molly has guzzled ranch dressing on Saturday Night Live and taken a bite of Kristen Wiig's backside in Bridesmaids. As Megan, the hit comedy's wildly inappropriate sister of the groom, McCarthy also hilariously seduced an air marshal (played by her real-life husband, Ben Falcone) and walked away with the movie and an Academy Award nomination. Critics love the 42-year-old girl next door from rural Plainfield, IL, and so do millions of everyday women. They view the immensely likable working wife and mom as a regular-gal role model and cherish her as living proof that self-acceptance and perseverance can make any dream come true.
The secret behind McCarthy's success is simple: She will do whatever it takes to get a giggle. That includes fearless acts, like doing stand-up comedy on a dare (how she got into show business), and clever ruses, like sprinkling powdered-sugar boot prints near the fireplace to convince her daughters — Vivian, 5, and Georgette, 2½ — that Santa Claus has come down the chimney.
"There's a bit of a kook in here," she says, pointing to herself. "And I picked a career at which you have to be a bit crazy to think you can make a living. The lunacy is, I get to; that doesn't ever escape me."
What's even more mind-boggling is that in an industry obsessed with youthful, toothpick-slim actresses, McCarthy has never let her age or her shape become an issue. "Sometimes I wish I were just magically a size 6 and I never had to give [my weight] a single thought," admits McCarthy, who plays tennis and does Pilates. "But I am weirdly healthy, so I don't beat myself up about it — it wouldn't help, and I don't want to pass that on to my girls." Besides, when it comes to acting roles, McCarthy considers her size irrelevant. "I've never been interested in playing the boring ingenue," she replies. "I always wonder, Who's her weird friend? I like the oddballs."
Dressed in a floral wrap top, black cigarette pants, and Nikes with neon green laces, McCarthy sips iced tea in her dressing room on the soundstage where Mike & Molly is shot. The self-confessed interior design obsessive has furnished her workspace — often visited by her daughters — like a cozy, artistic cottage, with pale gray walls, a sofa with velvet and needlepoint cushions, and comfy toile-covered English armchairs. On the walls are photos of the girls, paintings they made for their mommy, and random garage sale paintings that "freak my husband out, so they ended up here," McCarthy explains.
It's nearly 3 P.M., and the actress has a few more scenes to rehearse for an upcoming episode. But first she reaches for some hand sanitizer. "I got something weird on my hands from the set," McCarthy says. "I'm not a crazy germophobe; I have kids, and that ship has sailed." Nowadays if there's a sneeze or a spill, she jokes, "I'll just wipe it up with my shirt."
While McCarthy's sense of humor is infectious, she's very serious about her career. It's taken courage to make her way in a business filled with criticism and rejection. While she owes her success to hard work, McCarthy credits family, friends, and faith for instilling confidence in her. "I did lots of falling down on my face, and I just kept getting back up," she says of her early dues-paying days. "It's not the biggest deal. Eventually you realize you'll get up, and you don't mind the falling as much.
"Since I was a little kid, my answer to anyone who says, 'This is how it's done' has been 'Why?' Who the hell cares that everybody else is doing it this way, saying this, wearing that? If everyone is beating their heads against a wall, go around the wall." Saying McCarthy has persistence is putting it mildly: "When I believe in something, I'm like a dog with a bone. As long as you're not hurting anyone, I don't know that you'll ever regret [pushing ahead]. You'll be happier and more true to who you really are," she says.
To the casual observer, McCarthy may seem like an overjoyed overnight sensation. In truth, she spent years struggling to pay her bills — and still found time to build a solid marriage and start a family. Now her success has put her in an enviable position, one in which she can make the best choices for her personal and her professional life. And make no mistake — her career is in overdrive. In addition to a hit TV show and an appearance in Judd Apatow's This Is 40, due this month, McCarthy has two movies, The Heat (with Sandra Bullock) and Identity Thief (with Jason Bateman), coming out next year. She's also working on a TV show and a road-trip movie with her husband.
After briefly studying fashion and textiles in college and customizing most of her own wardrobe over the years, the talented seamstress is also planning to launch a clothing collection for women like her. "I am plus-size, and the things out there are made either for a 16-year-old hooker or an 89-year-old grandmother of the bride — and they're made from the material used for haircutting capes," she says. "The fabric has to be better, the cuts have to be better, and I want [the collection to be made] in the United States. I have no problem saying that an item might cost $11 more than the shirt down the street; it will last longer, and it will fit and look better." The line, which will likely include dresses designed in her favorite flattering Empire-waist style with a deep V-neck, is still in the early stages of development, but McCarthy is determined to make it happen.
She is also committed to shedding the extra pounds that came along with having two babies in three years and almost nonstop work. Any mom who has battled post-pregnancy weight can relate to McCarthy's story, which was complicated by constant back pain. "You need to give yourself a break [after childbirth] to get your body working again," she advises. "I ran right back to work. My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body."
McCarthy doesn't dwell on the numbers on the scale. "It's something I'm always working on," she says with a shrug. "I don't know why I'm not thinner than I am. I don't really drink soda; I don't have a sweet tooth, and we eat healthfully at home. We're all weird for broccoli and pureed-vegetable soup (see recipe), which we almost always have a big pot of in the fridge — it's so good!
"Pretty much everyone I know, no matter what size, is trying some system," McCarthy says. "Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she's like, 'I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.' Where does it end?" McCarthy's message: It's what's inside that counts.
At her current stage in life, McCarthy says, "You just have to say, It's pretty damn good. I am right here at the moment, and I'm OK with it. I've got other things to think about." Being the best wife and mother she can be is a given, but this is McCarthy's moment as an actress and a businesswoman, and she is intent on making the most of it. After all, she hasn't gotten this far by acknowledging the existence of something called exhaustion.
"I know somewhere in there, I'm incredibly tired, but I just keep going," she says of her increasingly busy schedule, which is carefully organized so she can still take her kids to school and to gymnastics. "I'm afraid that if I stop, I'll just disintegrate." She's definitely discovered one of the inescapable facts of parenthood: "Once you have little kids, it's kind of like survival mode for your sleep," McCarthy says. "They still get up every day at 5 A.M. I'm now down for the count usually by 9 or 9:30 P.M., but it's never continuous sleep. And then sometimes I wake up too early, and I'll go watch a little HGTV; I can look at houses and find it mind-blowingly relaxing. Luckily, I've convinced myself I don't need that much sleep, but I don't know if that's actually true."

Barry Callebaut to build chocolate factory in Turkey
- Building new chocolate and compound factory in Eskişehir, Central Anatolia, Turkey
- Production facility with an initial capacity of 15,000 tonnes to open mid-2013
- Tapping the potential of a fast growing local chocolate market
Zurich/Switzerland, October 31, 2012 – Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, announced today the building of a factory for chocolate and compounds in Eskişehir, Turkey. The new facility will serve as a basis to participate in the further growth potential of the Turkish chocolate market as well as to capture opportunities in the regional market.
Situated in Turkey's Central Anatolia region, the location in Eskişehir is close to existing and potential confectionery customers of Barry Callebaut. The total investment is about CHF 15 million (EUR 12 million / USD 16 million). The new factory will have an initial capacity of 15,000 tonnes and offer about 50 new jobs. Barry Callebaut's new site in Turkey is scheduled to open mid-2013.
Juergen Steinemann, CEO of Barry Callebaut, said: "The building of a new state of the art chocolate factory in Turkey is another major step in tapping the potential of a rapidly growing region. It's in line with our strategy to further expand our geographic presence to markets that offer above-average growth opportunities. The new production facility will also help to foster our position in the region."
To further grow in the Eastern European region, Turkey is an important market for Barry Callebaut. Currently the yearly chocolate consumption is rather low with less than 2 kg per capita; but it is growing very fast at an annual rate of +7% per annum.[1] There is an increasing demand for high-quality chocolate and compound products as well as for technical services and new innovations.

Barry Callebaut:
With annual sales of about CHF 4.6 billion (EUR 3.6 billion/USD 5.0 billion) for fiscal year 2010/11, Zurich-based Barry Callebaut is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate – from the cocoa bean to the finished chocolate product. Barry Callebaut is present in 27 countries, operates around 40 production facilities and employs a diverse and dedicated workforce of about 6,000 people. Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry focusing on industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate (such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakers), the latter with its two global brands Callebaut® and Cacao Barry®. Barry Callebaut is the global leader in cocoa and chocolate innovations and provides a comprehensive range of services in the fields of product development, processing, training and marketing. Cost leadership is another important reason why global as well as local food manufacturers work together with Barry Callebaut. Through its broad range of sustainability initiatives and research activities, the company works with farmers, farmer organizations and other partners to help ensure future supplies of cocoa and improve farmer livelihoods.

Preface | Preview Material | Table of Contents | Index | Supplementary Material |   |   |
Pure and Applied Undergraduate Texts 2013; 469 pp; hardcover Volume: 21 ISBN-10: 0-8218-8478-6 ISBN-13: 978-0-8218-8478-2 List Price: US$75 Member Price: US$60 Order Code: AMSTEXT/21 See also: Geometry for College Students - I Martin Isaacs Geometry: A Guide for Teachers - Judith D Sally and Paul J Sally, Jr Basic Geometry: Third Edition - George David Birkhoff and Ralph Beatley | The story of geometry is the story of mathematics itself: Euclidean geometry was the first branch of mathematics to be systematically studied and placed on a firm logical foundation, and it is the prototype for the axiomatic method that lies at the foundation of modern mathematics. It has been taught to students for more than two millennia as a model of logical thought. This book tells the story of how the axiomatic method has progressed from Euclid's time to ours, as a way of understanding what mathematics is, how we read and evaluate mathematical arguments, and why mathematics has achieved the level of certainty it has. It is designed primarily for advanced undergraduates who plan to teach secondary school geometry, but it should also provide something of interest to anyone who wishes to understand geometry and the axiomatic method better. It introduces a modern, rigorous, axiomatic treatment of Euclidean and (to a lesser extent) non-Euclidean geometries, offering students ample opportunities to practice reading and writing proofs while at the same time developing most of the concrete geometric relationships that secondary teachers will need to know in the classroom. Request an examination or desk copy. Readership Undergraduate students interested in geometry and secondary mathematics teaching. Reviews "Lee's "Axiomatic Geometry" gives a detailed, rigorous development of plane Euclidean geometry using a set of axioms based on the real numbers. It is suitable for an undergraduate college geometry course, and since it covers most of the topics normally taught in American high school geometry, it would be excellent preparation for future high school teachers. There is a brief treatment of the non-Euclidean hyperbolic plane at the end." -- Robin Hartshorne, University of California, Berkeley "The goal of Lee's well-written book is to explain the axiomatic method and its role in modern mathematics, and especially in geometry. Beginning with a discussion (and a critique) of Euclid's elements, the author gradually introduces and explains a set of axioms sufficient to provide a rigorous foundation for Euclidean plane geometry. "Because they assume properties of the real numbers, Lee's axioms are fairly intuitive, and this results in a presentation that should be accessible to upper level undergraduate mathematics students. Although the pace is leisurely at first, this book contains a surprising amount of material, some of which can be found among the many exercises. Included are discussions of basic trigonometry, hyperbolic geometry and an extensive treatment of compass and straightedge constructions." -- I. Martin Isaacs, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Jack Lee's book will be extremely valuable for future high school math teachers. It is perfectly designed for students just learning to write proofs; complete beginners can use the appendices to get started, while more experienced students can jump right in. The axioms, definitions, and theorems are developed meticulously, and the book culminates in several chapters on hyperbolic geometry--a lot of fun, and a nice capstone to a two-quarter course on axiomatic geometry." -- John H. Palmieri, University of Washington |

SINGAPORE - August 2003 -- Electronics and Engineering Pte Ltd (E&E Pte Ltd) recently installed the audio-visual system in the Anglo-Chinese School's (ACS') new campus. They specified Crown MA-2402, MA-3600VZ, CE 1000, CE 2000, and CE 4000 amplifiers for the project. Working with Singapore's leading audio consultancy company, Acoustics Consultants Pte Ltd, E&E installed systems in three venues: the Concert Hall, Drama Theatre and Auditorium. |
With a seating capacity of more than 880, the Concert Hall (designed for a variety of choral and musical recitals) features three clusters of JBL SR4735XF three-way loudspeakers and SR4719X subwoofer configuration. Each unit is soffit-mounted above the stage fronting the audience. Another four units of SR4735XF three-way loudspeakers are mounted at the mid-hall area. To provide additional reinforcement, eight Control 28s are placed below the gallery while four Control 25s are installed in the dressing rooms. The entire system is powered by the Crown MA-3600VZ and the Crown CE 2000 amplifiers. To provide the necessary fold-back, four Crown CE 2000-powered JBL MR902s are engaged together with the use of a Rane GE60. | |
A slightly smaller venue, the 280-seat Drama Theatre (used for mainly theatrical performances) also boasts a similar JBL system design, which includes three units of SP222 with two units of MP418S subwoofers. Mid-hall loudspeakers are five JBL Control 28s while four Control 28s are installed below the gallery and two more units of Control 25s are placed in the dressing rooms. The entire system is powered by three Crown MA-2402s, two CE 2000s and a single CE 1000. The venue features the same foldback system as the Concert Hall. | |
Catering to speech-related and other multi-purpose events, the 1200-seat Auditorium is the largest performing venue. To achieve optimum coverage, two clusters (each made of a JBL AM4215/64 mounted on top of an AM4215/95) are placed above the stage from a height of nine meters. Four Control 29AVs are placed under the balcony while three more units are placed above the balcony area as the distribution system. The entire loudspeaker system is managed by the dbx480 loudspeaker management processor and powered by three Crown CE 2000s and two Crown CE 1000. | |

New Baby Quilt Tutorial
After making the large squares-on-point quilt last winter, I decided it would be fun to make a baby-size version using 5" Charm squares. This one is for my brand-new baby niece!

I saw you MBS quilt yesterday...I love it!!! Such a precious gift for your neice! I just printed the template for some stockings...think I will had some initials for them for some little Christmas gifts. Thanks for always sharing so much of your creativity with us :) Looking forward to seeing pics from the SS.
Smiles~Beth@Cheryl, (Don't have a return email for you, so hoping you'll see this here)
I am not great at freemotion quilting either. I just finished a different baby quilt with straight-line quilting in a diagonal, cross-hatch pattern. It was easier for me and I really liked how it turned out.
Hope that helps!Hi! I've had this quilt pinned for about a year in hopes of making it when we had a baby. We are now due in October, and I'm ready to quilt! I have a small question, though... Do you have a cute suggestion for making the length 53 inches? I just want to make it a bit longer, and I'm so new to this quilting thing that I'm not sure how best to do it. I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions from a pro such as yourself. Thank you for any help and the lovely quilt tutorial!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
