Harassment produces crisis. It is very hard to know what to do when harassment dynamics descend on you, or on members of your community. Harassment is more than a single event — it is a process. Harassment may be intermittent or constant. It may fluctuate in intensity.
Bullying and harassment are social phenomena — they only happen within a group structure. The group facilitates — it amplifies and conducts. The bully and the bullied are not two sides having a bad conversation — harassment is not a dialogue. It is a debilitating dynamic which acquires additional force from the discriminatory, hierarchical structures that define life inside and around institutions which reproduce knowledge, power, access to a sense of the possible. It's a form of surveillance and punishment. It is a group sickness. It is fueled by paranoia and it breeds paranoia. It's difficult to confront alone, never mind stop.
Harassment is often racialized, sexualized or both. It may be racialized and sexualized in ways that cannot be accounted for by anti-harassment policy. And within a racist/sexist organization, few people will have the capacity to acknowledge racialized and/or sexualized harassment as forms of bias, discrimination and hate.
Some forms of harassment are integrated into rituals of belonging. Some rituals of belonging manage harassment. Hazing and bullying both consolidate a group's sense of coherence through the abuse of a person who will embody, for that group, that which they most despise and fear.
Hazing ritualizes harassment as what holds the group together; bullying is a projection of the group's fear of falling apart.
A sexual assault may not be part of a harassment dynamic. A sexist social context, however, will amplify the harm of a sexual assault by fruiting harassment dynamics around the victim's attempt to articulate what they need.

Wafer Bumping Flux
Solder bumps on wafers may be produced by a variety of processes. For bumps with a pitch greater than 100microns, solder paste is often used to form the bump.
Solder bumping of the top surface of BGA and PGA substrates for solder-on-pad (SOP) usually uses a very fine solder paste rather than plating.
Formation of the much larger (0.3-0.6mm pitch) solder bumps on waferlevel CSPs is by a ball-drop process.

A glimpse of what to expect from the iconic director's take on the acclaimed sci-fi novel.
Director Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros. have released the first image from their upcoming film, Ready Player One. Based on the 2011 sci-fi novel written by Ernest Cline, Speilberg's ability to portray epic sci-fi and action sequences onto the big screen will be tested, as we've seen before with films like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones. According to the film's IMDB page, Ready Player One will cast the likes of Hannah John-Kamen, T.J. Miller, and Simon Pegg.
We'll keep you updated on any new information prior to Ready Player One's spring 2018 release.

sequestered – kept separated and secluded (freedictionary.com)
The idea of being sequestered was central to how I spent this past Saturday.
Our daughter is off at a Christian camp, but she is not a camper this time, she is a C. I. T. (counselor in training).
I knew it would be good when she will filling out all of the paperwork necessary for her application into the C. I. T. program. There was the standard application forms to fill in, along with medical forms, activity checklist, three written references, a statement of faith questionnaire, as well as a telephone interview.
She got the nod that she was accepted, followed by a weekend of service to the camp in early June, from which she returned with more paperwork to fill out, as well as assignments and devotionals to complete before she returned at the end of June, for two weeks of study and learning, followed by an exam, then a week of assisting in the cabins. If all goes well she will return in August for a week of having her very own cabin of kids to oversee (with assistance).
All last week I received notes requesting that I come to visit her at the camp. With each note I had felt as though I could see her grow, much like an adolescent growing taller during a growth spurt. But this growth was not in height, it was growth and development in her understanding and knowledge of the Bible.
Upon seeing her and hearing of her first week at camp, I realized that, although this sort of growth was possible in any time and place, it was especially significant when it was part of a time of seclusion, separation, sequestering. She had times of learning, times of prayer, times of worship, times of study, incorporated as priorities in her daily schedule. She did not have to 'squeeze' these important practices into her days, they were part of the framework, part of the foundation of her daily schedule so that it would be accomplished.
I am eager to see how this learning opens her eyes to all that God has for her, to all that He has planned for her life.
May we all have, and take, the opportunity to be sequestered, if just for a day, to be transformed.
"Do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that by testing you may discern what is the will of God,
what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:2

BAS "Justice for Antwon" die-in
March 28, 2019
To remember the death of Antwon Rose II, Pitt's Black Action Society organized a die-in protest on the front steps of the William Pitt Union on Wednesday. About 120 people, mostly Pitt students, joined in sitting or standing near by. The group remained there, silent, for 40 minutes — 10 minutes for every day of the trial of former University and East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld, who shot Rose in June 2018. This event marks the sixth day of "Justice for Antwon" protests since the jury acquitted Rosfeld of all charges.

"[The goal is] just to show solidarity between all students on campus and faculty and staff, but specifically black students and just to show support for Antwon Rose's family," Edenis Augustin, the Black Action Society president, said.

"We need a holistic, comprehensive approach" to tackling aflatoxins, says Amare Ayalew. Aflatoxicity is just one of the foodborne illnesses, such as salmonella infection, that disproportionately affect Africa.
Aflatoxin is a type of toxin caused by a fungus (certain kinds of Aspergillus) that occurs naturally in hot and humid climates. It's a silent killer as it doesn't change the taste of food, according to Ayalew, a plant pathologist and the program manager for the Partnership for Aflatoxin Control in Africa (PACA). This tenacious carcinogen also resists cooking, making it hard to eradicate once it enters the food system.
Well over half the world's population is chronically exposed to aflatoxin, which is one of the most powerful naturally occurring carcinogens known to science. Aflatoxin contributes to up to 28% of all cases of liver cancer. It also leads to childhood stunting and immunosuppression. There's a direct economic toll as well, with African countries annually losing $670 million worth of exports to the EU because of food that's higher in aflatoxin levels than allowed.
Given the scale of the problem, a wide range of measures is needed to combat the steady poisoning accumulating in the bodies of 4.5 billion people. Here's a non-exhaustive list of some of these measures:
1) Improved storage and handling of crops. Insect infestation, as well as storage of crops in high heat and moisture, can create a more welcoming environment for Aspergillus. Even the type of container used to store a harvest plays a role; certain commonly used containers aren't exactly hermetic. Research is ongoing into the optimal materials, density of storage, and conditions for transport, among many other areas, to achieve the safest and most cost-effective combinations.
2) Consumer awareness. As aflatoxin exposure is a largely chronic and gradually accumulating problem, it's less visible among the general public than it should be. PACA program manager Ayalew points out that consumer pressure can drive changes in food quality, and that the majority of African consumers don't pay a premium for aflatoxin-free food. (In any case, it would be difficult to verify and certify this, given the limited resources of testing centers that could perform this chemical analysis.) Public awareness spikes during public health crises like the 2016 outbreak of acute aflatoxicosis from home-grown maize in central Tanzania, in which nearly 1/3 of people affected ultimately died. Product recalls, like those of several peanut butter brands earlier this year in Kenya, also drive discussion of aflatoxin. But the poorest of consumers have little choice. "If you're very poor and you see moldy grains," says Jacqueline McGlade, an environment professor at Gresham College and the former chief scientist of the UN Environment Programme, "if you've got nothing else you're going to take your chances."
3) Soil treatment. Chemical and biological agents may help to control the spread of aflatoxins. For example, the Ministry of Agriculture in Senegal, a country with an especially high rate of exposure to aflatoxins, has experimented with embracing the good fungus in order to crowd out the bad. The pesticide Aflasafe involves strains of Aspergillus flavus that don't create aflatoxin, so that the toxic strain can't colonize crops. Aflasafe is undergoing a commercialization drive, and is currently available in six African countries. Soil treatment products may prove too costly for small-scale farmers, though.
4) Crowdsourced science. "It is a slow-paced puzzle game," says Justin Siegel, a biochemist at UC Davis, of Foldit. But unlike your Candy Crushes and your Tetrises, Foldit centers on the unlikely theme of protein folding. The real-world hope is to hit upon a novel design for an enzyme that can hit aflatoxins' molecular structure where it hurts. Foldit's aflatoxin project launched in October 2017, and has had the equivalent of about 100 gamers playing full-time for a year: students, stay-at-home parents, and anyone else with a penchant for puzzles. "I personally don't care if we solve the problem or if others do – as long as the problem gets solved," says Siegel. The project suggests that gamification is a promising direction for citizen science.
5) Development of analytical capacity in affected countries. It's hard to combat aflatoxin tainting if farmers and regulators don't have a way to spot it. So it's important to invest in the treatment capacities of testing centers in countries where aflatoxin contamination is pressing. Scientists are also working on developing rapid testing kits that wouldn't require the same amount of chemical knowledge on the part of technicians, such as the Aflatoxin QuickTest trialled in Timor-Leste. Ayalew comments that rapid testing kits could be useful for screening purposes, but wouldn't be feasible for official controls.
6) Bioengineering. For instance, a team at the University of Arizona has designed corn with certain RNA molecules that move from the corn cells to the fungus, there blocking the production of an enzyme that creates aflatoxins. Ayalew hopes that CRISPR and other genetic engineering techniques could lead to the development of aflatoxin-resistant crops within the next decade. However, the introduction of this technology may limit producers' ability to sell food to GM-wary markets.
7) Biodiversity. Wild peanut species are naturally more resistant to aflatoxins than cultivated peanuts. So breeding hybrid species of peanuts is one strategy for optimizing some combination of high yield and toxin resistance. McGlade points out that aflatoxins are a threat to even well-resourced farmers and high-income countries. "There is aflatoxin here in the UK, but it's by good grace and good luck that we haven't had problems with it." One useful approach is investing in biodiversity, particularly indigenous traditions of saving varied seeds, which are under common ownership rather than being patented and owned by corporations. "You actually have a store cupboard that could save human lives," says McGlade.
8) Improved enforcement of food safety standards. While many affected low-income countries have limits on the amounts of aflatoxin that can be present in agricultural products, these are erratically and often weakly enforced. Governments may have few resources or limited appetite for regulatory enforcement. There's a role for not only government agencies, but also national food manufacturers and multinational food producers, which stand to lose plenty of money from tainted food that needs to be discarded.
9) Traditional methods of processing. For example, nixtamalization is a traditional method of treating corn in Latin America. This involves soaking dry corn overnight in a solution containing calcium, such as slaked lime. The soaking loosens some of the kernels, and the wet corn is then milled into masa, kneaded, and turned into tortillas or other foods. Nixtamalized corn is more nutritious, with more bio-available niacin. The process is also reported to reduce aflatoxin levels by up to 90%, although it's not common outside of Latin American cultures.
10) Mitigation of climate change. It's hard to call this a tool in the aflatoxin-fighting arsenal, but just about every environmental story needs to end with a mention of climate change, and this one is no different. "With climate change, aflatoxin is also encroaching towards temperate regions" such as Southern Europe, says Ayalew. McGlade agrees. With a 2-degree temperature rise, she argues, "most of mainland Europe has aflatoxin poisoning as a possibility" for corn.
Aflatoxin contamination is already a public health calamity. With ever more of the world being touched by it, that may drive further resources to combatting it.

TO THE BIBLE: Philippians 4:4 AMP
"Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!"
The Bible says to count it all joy when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the trial of your faith works patience (James 1:2-3). This means even when things don't seem to go the way you want, rejoice all the same! Do you know why you can rejoice when you're facing a temptation? It's because there's no temptation that comes to you that you're unable to handle. 1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us this: "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
God has made you all-sufficient (2 Corinthians 3:15). He's made you complete in Him, and you have His strength and ability in you. You don't walk on your own anymore. The Lord Jesus said He's with you always, even unto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Rejoice even if you don't feel like it.
When everything looks bleak and everywhere seems dry, that's when to sing and shout God's praise. That's the way to transform the situation. Laugh and shout, "Glory, Hallelujah! I've got the victory!"
Go Deeper: Romans 8:28, Hebrews 13:5-6
I declare that all things are working together for my good. I face every test and trial with joy, knowing that the trial of my faith produces patience me. God's Word assures me of the victory and I receive promotion as I overcome every temptation, in Jesus' Name. Hallelujah!
Has something been a source of concern for you lately? It's time to settle it with God's Word. Meditate on these scriptures and speak God's Word to the situation, in the Name of Jesus:

text: (Alert from the Better Business Bureau] Warning DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809. This one is being distributed all over the US. This is pretty scary especially given the way they try to get you to call. Be sure you read this & pass it on to all your friends and family so they don't get scammed! MAJOR SCAM: Don't respond to E-mails, phone calls, or web pages which tell you to call an "809" Phone Number. This scam is spreading *extremely* quickly can easily cost you $24,100 or more, and is difficult to avoid unless you are aware of it. We'd like to thank Verizon for bringing this scam to our attention. This scam has also been identified by the National Fraud Information Center and is costing victims a lot of money. There are lots of different permutations of this scam, but HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: You will receive a message on your answering machine or your pager, which asks you to call a number beginningwith area code 809. The reason you're asked to call varies. It can be to receive information about a family member who has been ill, to tell you someone has been arrested, died, to let you know you have won a wonderful prize, etc. In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away. Since there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls. If you call from the US, you will apparently be charged $2425 per-minute. Or, you will get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges. Unfortunately, when you get your phone bill, you'll often be charged more than $24,100.00. WHY IT WORKS: The 809 area code is located in the Dominican Republic. The 809 area code can be used as a "pay-per-call" number, similar to 900 numbers in the United States. Since 809 is not in the US, it is not covered by U.S. regulations of 900 numbers, which require that you be notified and warned of charges and rates involved when you call a "pay-per-call" number. There is also no requirement that the company provide a time period during which you may terminate the call without being charged. Further, whereas many U.S. phones have 900 number blocking to avoid these kinds of charges, 900 number blocking will not prevent calls to the 809 area code. We recommend that no matter how you get the message, if you are asked to call a number with an 809 area code that you don't recognize and/or investigate further and just disregard the message. Be wary of e-mail or calls asking you to call an 809 area code number. It's important to prevent becoming a victim of this scam, since trying to fight the charges afterwards can become a real nightmare because you did actually make the call!! If you complain, both your local phone company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll end up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong. Please forward this entire message to your friends, family and colleagues to help them become aware of this scam. Sandi Van Handel AT&T Field Service Manager (920) 687-9045 (877) 479-7902 (920) 687-9182 email@example.com To verify this info, you can search the Internet for "809."

COMMENTARY: What's the future of affordable housing in Lyons?
Media and music messages about Lyons
by Amy Reinholds
No news on new affordable housing this past week – no meetings were held. However, a few thoughts about media and music are on my mind.
Ever since the flood, my senses are heightened about media coverage about our town – what accurately captured our varied experiences in town, and what misrepresented our experiences (whether accidentally or with an agenda). I saved favorite links to quality news coverage to pass on to family and friends outside of town, and I read other stories that I hoped would fade into obscurity because they were misleading or incorrect. Often the news media accounts about Lyons that I find on my own or see people share on Facebook are mixed: they capture the heart and sentiment of our experience but get some of the facts wrong.
Sometimes writers for news outlets look for conflict or someone to blame in their stories. The difficulties faced in Lyons by our neighbors who lost their homes, whether they owned or rented them, and the barriers to affordable replacement housing were ripe for writers looking for conflict. It can almost be a form or disaster tourism when people who don't live in Lyons cover our troubles.
Often, things are missed because the people writing the stories don't live here.
But instead of conflict or blame, I'm asking everyone, whether you are readers or writers of stories about Lyons (or listeners to gossip about Lyons) to think about responsibility. And locals don't get out of this responsibility, either! Of course serious journalists should be committed to responsibility. But we all have responsibility to consider whether the words are valid, whether the information is correct, whether it is worth passing on to others. In general, if I read something in publications and I haven't personally talked to the people who were quoted, I usually don't rely on it as an accurate account of what happened.
A recent Daily Camera article that I read was peppered with minor inaccuracies, which I identified from my own knowledge of past events and doing a little research. It was one of those links I wished people wouldn't have posted on Facebook. But something surprising happened.
The comments responding to the post didn't focus on conflict, but they were all heartfelt statements in support of people whose homes were destroyed. Positive posts on Facebook! I was relieved and encouraged. Sometimes people just respond from the heart.
That brings me to the music discussion. Bonnie Sims, a friend who is part of my extended "band family" (my husband plays in her band), wrote a song called Lyonstown that speaks to me in a way that printed words and Facebook posts don't. You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxzh-B9ya6U .
I'll let the music speak for itself. The lyrics that touch you might be different than the ones that speak to me, but when I see you around town, we can talk about it.
Keep following my columns in both Lyons papers for updates about any accomplishments to increase affordable housing stock in Lyons. The next housing committee meeting is March 2, from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Town Hall Annex (behind the Barking Dog Cafe). All housing committee meetings are open to the public and published on the Town of Lyons calendar at www.townoflyons.com. For background and history on the special housing committee, including how it started, you can read previous columns at lyonscoloradonews.wordpress.com. If you have any questions, comments, or complaints about this column, please contact me directly at areinholds @hotmail.com.
Amy Reinholds served on the Lyons Housing Recovery Task Force from December 2013 through its end in February 2015. She is currently a member of the Lyons Human Services and Aging Commission and serves as a liaison to the special housing committee. She has lived in Lyons for 12 years and in the surrounding Lyons area since 1995.

WPDang has had a hands-on with a Windows Phone 8 handset and managed to uncover some so-far unknown features, some which may be unique to China and others which may show up everywhere.
One that will probably be available to all of us is that IE10 will apparently be able to download web pages for off-line viewing, and also save a web page as a picture.
Another element which may show up elsewhere is that PayPal is integrated in the Chinese Windows Phone 8 handset as a Payment option, which provides an interesting alternative to carrier charging for those who do not have credit cards.
Unique Chinese features is the presence if Sina Weibo Micro-blogging integrated in Windows Phone 8, which has been rumoured but not confirmed before.
WPDang also notes that the phone supports Chinese voice command, but that it could do with some work.
Microsoft is unveiling Windows Phone 8 properly on the 29th October, and will hopefully provide us with a comprehensive list of features and improvements in their new mobile OS.

Greg Cherry, MD of Glasgow-based QD Events, on the challenges of recruitment outside of the southeast of England.
I spent a lot of my career working in London and there's a large talent pool in London. People either fall into the industry or see it as a good avenue for their career development.
Because of the concentration of event companies in the southeast of England a lot of people move around, and it's easy to move around if you're a talented individual. The trick for organisers outside of the southeast is to try and look at the talent pool that they have and show people that there is a life outside of that region.
We're Scotland's largest exhibition organiser and we have huge growth aspirations, but sometimes those aspirations are tempered by the ability to recruit knowledgeable talent. For certain roles you can look outside the industry but it's sometimes a case that you want people at certain levels to hit the ground running.
We've been quite lucky at QD in our marketing and operations roles and the fact that there are people who have lived and worked in London who are coming back to Scotland.
We're able to offer them opportunities and a good vehicle for their career growth and development.
We're changing the way we work in terms of the millennial audience we're now attracting into the business. Their requirements as part of working are different. If an employer in London has ten candidates all of equal ability and eight are saying, 'I want to start at midday', then maybe they are going to go with the two that will do the job. If the talent pool is much smaller then you're trying to work with people who have different requirements to fulfil the needs of the business.
Work/life balance is one of the things that I've noticed [working in Glasgow]. Your commute will be a maximum of half an hour, and it'll cost you a hundredth of what it costs you in the southeast. The cost of living is cheaper, and salaries are reflective of this, but not to the extent that you're going to feel that you're losing out. It's about getting people to take the risk to move out of London.
Network is everything, so we're going to encourage people to go and mix with the rest of the industry. QD Events are at every industry event that we can go to. They're really important to our success, as is the feeling of being part of the exhibition community. That's what we want to be the experience of coming to work for QD. There are many other organisers outside of London who are quite insular, and that's what we as an organisation don't want.

Unforgettable Moments in the Okavango Delta: Helicopter Trips and Sundowner Swims
Safari365 consultant Terrance Robin recently returned from a staff educational trip to Botswana and Victoria Falls. It was a trip filled with exciting safaris, beautiful landscapes, and a multitude of learning experiences. Terrance shared his review of the fourth day of their trip, which he describes as "by far the best day of the entire experience."
"We had travelled by light aircraft from Kasane to Xugana where we had a site inspection and lunch. Thereafter, we did a short 40 minute game drive where we then commenced on mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) experience. Special mention must be made for our fantastic guides.
We were then surprised with a 10 – 15min helicopter transfer from Xugana to Camp Okavango which was just absolutely mind blowing! We flew low to the ground and saw so much wildlife during our short flight (lion, elephant, hippo and plenty of antelope) – a true National Geographic type experience and the momentary highlight of my trip!
Upon landing we were met by another surprise: A mobile bar (along with the warm and welcoming staff from the lodge) that had been set up in the middle of one of the channels flowing into the delta. We then proceeded to spend some time swimming in this channel (I know, right?!) whilst enjoying drinks and not having a care in the world – it was a moment I'll never, ever forget! Thereafter, we moved on to the lodge where we enjoyed exquisite accommodation, superb hospitality and incredible food. We had connected with majority of our fellow guests at Camp Okavango and spent a large portion of the evening interacting, socializing and enjoying each other's' conversation.
The staff at all of the lodges were absolutely exceptional and it quickly became apparent that it would be impossible to leave any of the lodges we had stayed at without some sort of emotional connection. It was hands down the best trip I have ever embarked on and I cannot wait to go again!"

ACL Recovery
How Injured Athletes or Active Individuals Can Overcome Frustrating Sports Injuries That Keep You From Maximizing In Your Performance, Enjoying Sport and Being Active
Leading Edge Recovery Advice For Frustrated Athletes and Fitness Fanatics, Being Given Away Today By Top Professional Sports Physical Therapists…
"Here's How ANY Injured Active Person Can End The Frustration Of Being Left Behind Or In-Active, AND Even Put A Stop To The 'FEAR' That So Often Comes After Injury, And NOT Being 100% Sure If You're Even Fit Enough Do It!!"
If you or someone you know has sustained a sports injury or has been suffering with an injury for a while now, then you are probably feeling pretty bad about not being able to participate. It can be very tempting to simply "wait and see" if it heals or have been told to just rest 6 weeks and it will get better...
Or maybe you feel down because you are "stuck", wanting to get back, but feel lost or wondering if you will ever be able to get back to playing sports and stay active like you used to be.
If you feel like this, we are here to tell you that you are not alone. We see people all the time who have the same feelings and simply want to get back to playing their sport. That's why our clinic stays busy with people wanting to get back to their sport under the beautiful San Diego sun.
On top of that, we have spent a combined 40 years in the sports realm treating athletes that ranged from high school sports to recreational league enthusiast to professional level athletes. And when someone would get hurt on our teams, we started treatment immediately the next day.
This mindset is completely opposite of how most to people think today when it comes to injuries. The faster you get treatment, usually the faster your recovery is. You are able to eliminate the stiffness quickly, decrease the pain almost immediately, and get you on the road to recovery. So when you do not respond appropriately to a sports injury, you leave yourself suffering with the injury and wondering:
"It's been a month now... So why am I still suffering with this sports injury that is also keeping me from being active and playing my favorite sport?"
So many people think that their sports injury is "not that bad" and it will get better with just a little rest and they will quickly be able to exercise and play their sport again. But when they do go back to their sport again, they are restricted or limited, which can make things even worse than when it first happened. You see, most people will have little to no pain when they rest... And then when you start back up, the pain comes back. And no matter how much you rest it, it doesn't seem to get any better.
Does That Sound Like You?
Here is another scenario we see all the time in our clinic... People go to see the doctor and the doctor tells them rest, wear a brace or splint, "take these painkillers" to "see how it goes" - And then come back in 6 weeks... Only to return to the same doctor because it hasn't really improved, and given MORE rest and ANOTHER prescription for strong medication.
This issue is that most of the sports injuries out there (like ankle sprains, runner's knee, or hamstring injuries), complete REST is rarely the best way to recover quickly.
So maybe you are a bit confused, or even frustrated, because you've been told so many different things. Maybe you have looked up information on the internet and feel more confused by the amount of info that is out there, because you don't want to do the wrong thing - making your injury even worse!
Sports injuries can be quite confusing because more often than not, the source of your pain is coming from somewhere else. What you believe is the injured area, is only the "VICTIM" and and not the TRUE CAUSE of your pain. If you don't fix this issue, the problem will continue to show itself... again and again! And if you rest too long, then more problems come about and complicate the whole injury.
The confusion about "REST" often leads people to delay in making a decision about what to do to help fix their injury and get back to sport quickly. What's even worse, is that some people just end up "accepting" that their days of sports are all over... Like this is normal and the way it has to be.
Is This How You Feel Too?
If You Are Currently Frustrated And Living With A Sports Injury, Here Are 8 Reasons Why It Could Be Taking Longer To Return:
- You thought it would go away on it's own... but it didn't.
You went to the Doctor who told you to just rest and take painkillers - but the pills did not do anything to help your sports injury, and as soon as they wore off, chronic pain struck again.
- A family member, or friend, told you that everybody who plays sports gets hurt, especially as they get older, so it should just be accepted.
- You tried other Healthcare Professionals, or a Physical Therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help very much.
- You tried Googling "How to recover from..." and have used YouTube videos to do exercises but they either didn't do a thing, or perhaps made your pain much worse.
- You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your sports injury was so bad, but all that did was make it feel even more stiff and tight.
- You decided to get a few "massages" hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxing, and didn't do anything to fix it long term.
- You thought using a brace, splint or support would alleviate your pain for good, but that won't get to the underlying cause of the problem.
If any of these have ever happened to you, we would love to help you and invite you to book in a call to talk with one of our sports injury specialists at our Encinitas Physical Therapy Clinic to find out what can be done to help your specific problem.
And here is some good news for you...
Because you may have tried any or all of the things we list above, it is actually a GOOD THING. The good thing is that we will be able to determine what doesn't work... making you closer to finding the thing that does!
Well, here's 4 things you can do:
- First things first, you need to make a decision about getting proper help. So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that pain will "just go away with time," but then 6 months down the line they're still putting up with it. Worst off... nothing has really changed… Or it gets worse
- Next, you need to do the RIGHT exercises. One of the best things that we do to help you ease your pain is to do the right SERIES of progressed exercises. The right exercises given to you by a Physical Therapist will help ease pain, and allow you to quickly move more freely again. We make sure that the problems don't come back anytime soon or aggravate your back pain anymore, like some exercises will do. How does that sound?
- You will want to avoid "RESTING TOO MUCH". The irony is that rest is usually the worst thing you can do for sports injuries... especially for too long. Have you ever tried to get up from the couch after resting for a while, only to find that it is painfully difficult because of stiffness and tightness? One of the absolute worst things you can ever do that slows the recovery process is sit for prolonged periods of time or rest in the same position for more than 30 minutes at a time. If you rest too much, you will feel that stiffness and tightness. It would really help if you were given the appropriate strengthening exercises for improving your strength, combined with the appropriate hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
- You need to get some real, "hands-on" Physical Therapy treatment. Physical Therapy is proven to help people with pain. In fact, at LEVEL4 wee see these injuries all the time. If your injury is stopping you from being active or playing your sport, affects your job, if it threatens your independence or gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends, the Physical Therapist can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.
If you would like to know how the Physical Therapy team at LEVEL4 in Encinitas can help you live with less pain, then we invite you to start with a completely free, no-obligation, risk free appointment at our clinic:
Note: This Free Discovery Session is something that we offer to people who are very nervous or skeptical about Physical Therapy, they are unsure of its benefits or if they don't know if it's right for them. If that sounds like you, then please start with a free discovery dession so that we can work with you to find out what is wrong and what can be done. This is a great way to start without any financial risk on your part.
So the next question is...
"How Can Choosing to See a Physical Therapy Specialist at LEVEL4 Help You Get Rid of Your Sports Injury For Good?"
Here's just a few of the things our Physical Therapy Team can do for you:
- We will thoroughly evaluate your injury - often inside 20 minutes and determine the root cause of your pain
- We can quickly take away the pain and stiffness, usually inside a couple of sessions
- Pain can "suck" you of energy and limit your ability to play your favorite sport, and we can help you get back to enjoying that fulfilling feeling again and return you to what you love safely
- We will ensure that your problem is addressed and "corrected" so you can heal properly. Then, we will provide you with the perfect set of exercises and/or stretches that will speed up your recovery
- We can help you put an end to needing to take all of those painkillers that are no good for your health long-term
- We can help you avoid dangerous surgery and painful injections
- We can help you keep out of the Doctor's office or from making repeat visits only to be given more pills!
- We can help you get back to enjoying quality time with family and friends that your injury has taken from you
- We can help you to finally walk normally, move more freely and give you confidence about what to do if you start to feel "your pain".
Basically, we can help you get back to living life free from daily, annoying and frustrating sports injuries and return to the sport you love so much.

Low battery anxiety and how it relates to our mental health
We've never been more dependent on our smartphones – and never more powerless to prevent their screens going blank. But where does the fault really lie?
We complain about battery life more than any other aspect of our smartphones. The depleting charge seems to pose a threat to our very existence; if it reaches zero, we could be disconnected from our friends, disorientated on our travels and left without access to our money.
Read More
That fear can lead us to behave strangely; one viral Facebook post from 2015 described how an audience member in a New York theatre left his seat and attempted to charge his phone in a (fake) electrical outlet onstage.
To combat the anxiety, we tend to leave spare chargers in handy locations, lug around battery packs and purchase bulky cases to keep the things running, while cursing the bars that inform us of our battery's slow death. This frustration is coupled with a fading trust in the information we're given about battery life; last week, Apple and HTC were both accused by consumer advocate group Which?, of making misleading claims about the amount of time their phones last on a single charge.
Why you shouldn't blame your battery
Thanks to the memory of old-school mobile phones, which had batteries that lasted for a week, there's a common perception that batteries are getting worse at their job. But the battery is often the blameless scapegoat for a problem that bedevils mobile technology: if consumers want a device that's small, slim and packed with features, they have to decide how little battery life they're willing to put up with. As a result, we seem doomed to be forever running out of juice, as new smartphone and tablet technology quickly uses up any improvements that the battery industry manages to make.
"It's like a conflict of interest," says Ulrich Stimming, senior researcher at the Faraday Institution, an independent institute for battery science. "Batteries are becoming better and better with time, there's no question about this. And the power demands of various components has actually gone down, but battery performance depends very much on the way a mobile phone is designed: how large should it be? Which functions do you want to have always available? All of these are decided by the manufacturer." In other words, every improvement to the aesthetic and feature set of a mobile phone becomes a test of our patience – and it's possible that our patience is being tested a little too much.
Phone usage plays a big role
Towards the end of last year, an investigation by The Washington Post, in conjunction with a number of technology websites, concluded that newer smartphones simply don't last as long as older ones, with OLED displays and cellular connectivity contributing significantly to the problem. The fact that lithium-ion batteries are finding it harder to power the newest smartphone features was described in that report as an "open secret" in the industry, and the accusations levelled by Which? at Apple and HTC show that secret to be a closely guarded one. In other words, we're told that a device will operate for a certain length of time, but in practice – it may not.
Apple and HTC have stood by their claims, noting that variations in testing methods easily explain any variations in results. It brings to mind a famous advertisement from the 1980s for Duracell, where a number of identical toy rabbits were filmed as their batteries ran out – but the complexity of smartphones makes that kind of experiment impossible; whatever happens in the lab, our own experiences may be very different. "The complete picture depends on the way people treat their phones," says Stimming. "For example, Wi-Fi places huge demands on a battery, so when you're not using Wi-Fi you should just shut it off – but people don't usually do this."
The tech industry has long sold us the dream of always-on, multifunctional devices that are sleek and as light as a feather. But ultimately we're complicit in this situation. We've quietly accepted the inability of those devices to remain powered for as long as we'd like, and we know, deep down, that when we upgrade in the hope of things improving, we're likely to discover that things remain the same, or get worse. But there are options for consumers who are willing to forego big names and carry around something that's perhaps a little more substantial.
Back in 2015, a brand called Innos unveiled the D6000, which they claimed to be the world's first smartphone to be equipped with two batteries, one of them removable. (The fact that hot-swappable batteries are now a rarity in phones is a strong indication that manufacturers don't necessarily have our best interests at heart.)
Making a decision
More recently, Energizer's Power Max P18K Pop showcased earlier this year at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, received attention for its staying power: 90 hours of calls, 100 hours of music or 48 hours of video on a single charge, and 50 days of battery life standby mode. The downside: it's enormous. "An absolute unit," said one review. "Remarkably heavy for a phone," read another. But we can't have it both ways. It's one or the other.
It's a great idea. but it'll be another five to 10 years before you have it in a phone. Bosch recently gave up a solid-state research programme, because it cost too much money and it wasn't clear that it would result in anything better.
Ulrich Stimming, senior researcher at the Faraday Institution
Research into lower-powered components may improve matters. Intel's Project, Athena laptops, and Huawei's high-end phones both boast of their reduced burden on batteries. Thanks to improvements being made with Bluetooth chipsets, new models of wireless headphones should also see marked improvements in battery life.
This almost seems like an admission from the industry that battery technology will never improve as fast as it would like, but progress is being made: last year, scientists at Aston University in the UK displayed a way of offloading power-hungry parts of apps to the cloud, reducing consumption by 60 per cent. The solid-state battery, a higher-capacity, safer alternative to lithium-ion, is also on the horizon – but still a way off, according to Stimming.
"It's a great idea," he says, "but it'll be another five to 10 years before you have it in a phone. Bosch recently gave up a solid-state research programme, because it cost too much money and it wasn't clear that it would result in anything better."
As mobile devices have wormed their way into our lives and made themselves indispensable, the resilience of batteries and their complex chemistry has become critical to society. It's evidently true that if we used our devices less, the batteries would last longer. But the tech industry has never urged us to refrain from using their products, and has never been in the business of selling modest workhorses that quietly get on with the job for years on end. Cynics would contend that making devices innovative, beautiful but ultimately frustrating is a sure-fire way to keep sales ticking over – and who's to say they're not right?

I decided to go outside this evening after I mixed up a pasta salad and added some Parmesan cheese for me to have for dinner since my husband is working his other job tonight to give the chickens a little feed and I let them out to cluck around the yard for a little while before the sun goes down and look at these eggs. Always pleased with this.
I had noticed that the birds little perch had come loose from the tree and when I picked it up it was split in the middle on the bottom where they would have to perch and eat.
With a hammer and some duct tape I was able to repair it and nail it back to our tree in the front yard with success and now the birds can eat again.
We hope to make and plant flower boxes for the top of the mailbox and package center my husband built last year but for now the top can work well for the birds to be able to eat. I always enjoy feeding them each year and watching the different colored birds come and go each year.
This works just fine for now and I enjoy feeding the hummingbirds to each year but until I make a feeder or get out to pick one up for these little fellas this will due for the birds for now.
I always enjoy the tire swing in the front yard hanging off off the tree each spring and summer or every season for that matter. The birds will enjoy this for now.
The squirrels destroyed my feeders last year and I think the whole family came and ate last year. There replaceable and they all have to eat. Squirrels get hungry to.
Yesterday I did a lot of Spring cleaning. I have a blog post coming up about spring cleaning and such.
I don't plan to wear myself out and I'm learning to enjoy the process of it as well as enjoy the sunshine, the fresh air, and the smell of the sweet apple trees in bloom. This evening I'm just taking it easy with some note taking and well needed reading time.
When you dive into your spring cleaning or if you already have, enjoy it as you do a little each time or a little each day. Make it fun and enjoyable for you with music, a podcast or an audio book. No rush as we need to take care of us to and have a schedule and plan it out or even plan as we go.
No rush for me and I'm having an evening coffee and it's quiet around here this evening so this is the best time for a great book, article, or to read anything that's beneficial.
Until next time I hope your enjoying the sunshine because I sure am. It has finally warmed up here in Ky. And I've been looking forward to this. Enjoy it…

the group that owns Mark Andy/Comco/UVT curing systems and is a world leader in narrow web presses and converting solutions
MAI Holdings, the group that owns Mark Andy/Comco/UVT curing systems and is a world leader in narrow web presses and converting solutions, has announced that it has acquired Rotoflex International, the industry-leading supplier of web inspection and finishing equipment as part of growth initiatives. The asset-only acquisition was finalised on December 11, 2008. The transaction marks a strong step for future business and growth plans for both parties.
According to MAI Holdings CEO Paul Brauss, "This addition is simply an incredible fit that will result in a stronger, stable business that will carry on the proud tradition of Rotoflex's 35 years of leadership. We are combining the number one internationally recognised finishing equipment brand with world class operational excellence – an unbeatable combination. We deeply value the commitment of Rotoflex to understanding customer needs, innovative product designs and industry leadership. We are pleased to have found a partner with such strong values."
To capitalise on its global leadership in inspection and finishing equipment, Rotoflex will maintain an independent brand presence. It has manufacturing facilities located in Canada, USA, Germany, France and South Africa and its well-known brands of inspection/finishing solutions include VSI, HIS, HLI, VLI and VLIeDRIVE. Rotoflex has more than 4,000 machines installed globally. Val Rimas of Rotoflex calls the purchase "a game-changing development. This new ownership complements and enhances Rotoflex's value proposition by bringing efficiencies to our operation to better respond to our customers and maintain a leading position in the market. We see a bright future with a solid foundation for success."
