Vendor Credit: Alternative Financing for Main Street BusinessesVendor credit is the single most accessible form of funding for businesses and startups: credit given to you by a business. Here are a few types available to you: Credit cards For example, if you're a business and you get office supplies from Staples on a frequent basis, they could give you a Staples credit card. Net credit If Staples were to let you buy whatever you want and they'll bill you at the end of the month, that is net credit. Generally, there are two types of net credit: Net 30 and NeWatch video
Qualifying for an SBA LoanSBA (Small Business Administration) loans are a great way to finance your startup primarily because the interest rates are so low. But how do you know if you qualify for one? There are three main groups who generally qualify: Startup businesses The SBA provides collateral to get a loan. However, as a startup, they may require you to have 100% collateral. In addition to this collateral, you will need to show that your present income can cover the payments for the loan before your business starts.Watch video
Understanding SBA LoansSBA (Small Business Administration) loans can be a really useful way of getting funds for your startup – but what are they? The SBA is a government entity. The purpose of the SBA is to help small businesses grow. The government doesn't directly lend you money. Instead they provide collateral for the bank loan. If you wanted a $300,000 loan from a bank, they might ask for the same amount in collateral. If you only had a portion of that amount in home equity, then the SBA would provide the remainiWatch video
Equipment Financing: Getting Financing for Main Street BusinessesWhen trying to secure funding for your startup, one of the first things you have to do is figure out what percentage of your budget will go towards buying equipment such as: Computers Cooking appliances Vehicles Office furniture Signage On the range of bank loans, getting funds for equipment is on the easier scale of the financing spectrum. That said, there are three main qualifications to be eligible: Personal credit: most important if you're a brand new startup Business credit: once you have bWatch video
Home Equity Line of Credit: Getting Financing for Main Street BusinessesWhen you're looking to secure bank financing for your business, the single best kind of financing you can get based on price, availability and ease of use is a HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit). What is a HELOC? A line of credit from a bank based on equity in your home. For example: let's say your home is worth $500,000 and you have a $300,000 loan left on the house, meaning you have $200,000 in equity. The bank will discount that and offer a line of credit around $160,000 that you can basicallWatch video
Lines of Credit: Getting Investments for Main Street BusinessesLines of credit are the single most sought-after -- and difficult -- way of funding your startup. Banks give loans out to the entities you need to pay in order to get your startup off the ground – contractors, construction, etc. They pay off those you hire rather than you personally because banks don't generally trust people to handle the money responsibly. One of the main reasons a line of credit is so sought after among entrepreneurs is because you have all of the control on how and when to spWatch video
Private Placement Memorandum: Getting Investments for Main Street BusinessesIf you want to get investors involved with your business, you'll need to get a PPM (Private Placement Memorandum). What is a PPM? It's a legal document that allows for investors. Its function is to outline the terms of investing so that all the investors get the same return on their investment. But before you purchase a PPM… Keep in mind that just because you buy a PPM doesn't automatically mean you will get investors. It's simply a legal structure that determines how to get investors. For thisWatch video
Venture Capitalists: Getting Investments for Main Street BusinessesGetting venture capitalists to invest in your business can be a great boost to a business, but most "Main Street" businesses don't qualify for VC money. What are some VC requirements? Your business has to be able to scale considerably. One of the standard metrics is the ability for the business to make $50 million within its first three years of operation. Before you start searching for VC's you need to make sure your business has the tangible potential for this kind of growth. It doesn't matterWatch video
Retirement Savings: Getting Investments for Main Street BusinessesIf you should want to jump start your business by investing in it yourself, utilizing your retirement savings can be a good way to go. Any savings you have in an IRA or 401(k) can be reinvested into your business and potentially earn you a much greater profit than your meager margin and return in the market. Why would you want to use your retirement savings? Some people make as little as a 1% return on their 401(k) every four years. If you have a business, however, you could potentially double tWatch video
Understanding Funding Options for Main Street BusinessesMoney makes the world go round, and if you want to get your startup off the ground, you'll certainly need to get some. But how do you go about this? First things first, it's important to break down the three different kinds of funding options available to you: Private investment Personal savings / retirement Friends & family Angel investors Venture capitalists Banks Business credit card Credit line SBA loan Home equity Equipment financing Alternative sources Vendor credit Hard money loan RevWatch video

Establishing Compatibility with Co-FoundersEstablishing compatibility with your co-founders is one of the most important things you can do before trying to launch your startup. After all, how can the rest of your team function properly if you and your co-founders cannot? Here are a few tips on how to make sure you are compatible: Have a "fight." Create a situation that will test both of your resolve, conviction and temperament. Conflict will inevitably arise within any team at some point, so it's crucial to see how you can butt heads andWatch video
Goals: Managing Your First CompanyManaging your first company can be a little overwhelming. One of the best things you can do is clarify and prioritize your overall goals as a team. Here are a few tips on how to go about doing this: Discussion is crucial to buy-in Hold meetings with your team and express your goals to them. You don't need their consensus, after all this isn't a vote, but you do want their buy-in, so let their voices be heard. You are the captain steering this ship, so let your crew know which direction you are sWatch video
Culture: Managing Your First CompanyCulture is an intangible but hugely important aspect of any company's success. But what is your company's culture and how do you promote it? Clearly define your values. Who are the core members of your team that inspire you and help strengthen your cause? What sort of values do they possess? Remember that companies are made up of people. The values your team embodies should be the values of your company, and vice versa. Try and come up with a value list as long as 50 and then narrow it down to yWatch video
Your Psychology: Managing Your First CompanyLaunching a company of any kind requires a multitude of personal traits and virtues that will be tested time and time again. So before you start meeting with investors or drawing up blueprints, you need to do a little introspective inventory check. Manage yourself first. What are your expectations? Is to purely to make money? Is it to create an ever-expanding conglomerate? Do you want to have fun while you work? Is your goal to help people, regardless of the sacrifices you must make along the waWatch video

About Danielle
My name is Danielle Coulter and I was born with Cerebral Palsy. At the age of 20, I decided to write my bio so people can hear my story. A lot of my friends have been putting a bug in my ear to write a book for years; one-day things just clicked into place and I started writing. My book is called If Dan Can Shred, You Can Too. I want to share my stories and adventures to inspire you to stand up and follow your dreams whether you have a disability or not.
I have overcome so many obstacles in my life, and now I have overcome the biggest one- typing. As I was growing up it was hard for me to read and write. When I was writing short stories in school I looked at a blank page for a long time because I was scared to misspell words, but I learned that it is okay to misspell words and to just keep typing away. I am happy that I got over that so I could share my story with you and have you hear my real voice. No obstacle is too big a wall; one day, you will break it down.
I am also the first adaptive snowboarder in the world, and I tell you this to say that if you have a dream that you want to make a reality, do it, and let no one stop you!

Ann Coulter...Racist, conservative, skank in desperate need of a penis.
Don't get me wrong, the host of SevsDeadSerious with his 4 sisters, beloved wife and all of the milliopns of women who embody the greatest aspects of humanity know that women are and continue to be a driving force at all levels of society despite all that is done to subjigate and demean their equality by thos of us who have penises...and then their is Ann Coulter. This is one of the nastiest, most vile, despicable pieces of shit that has been allowed to sit and bake in the hot sun with periods of high humidity, bringing the range of smells to a level of putrid beyond the human imagination, women (and I do use the term EXTREMELY loosely) ever reproduced and her parents should be ashamed. There is NOTHING this vile bitch will not loose her acerbic and mean-spirited, misogynistic crap upon. Frankly, the women needs a dick REALLY, REALLY bad. And if her homophbic skinny ass is gay or transgender...let confusion reign supreme.

Robin Williams' Death Highlights the Need for Suicide Prevention
The tragic death of beloved comedian Robin Williams has brought the issue of suicide to the public eye. Most people do not realize that suicide kills more Americans than car accidents. "We all know to wear our seat belts and strap our children into car seats to prevent accidents, yet few people receive the mental health treatment they need to prevent suicide", comments Dr. Karen Cassiday. Suicide can be prevented, particularly if friends and family members pay attention to the following warning signs*** that people who kill themselves often show:
- Talking about wanting to kill themselves, or saying they wish they were dead
- Looking for a way to kill themselves
- Talking about a specific suicide plan
- Feeling hopeless or having no reason to live
- Feeling trapped, desperate, or needing to escape from an intolerable situation
- Having the feeling of being a burden to others
- Feeling humiliated
- Having intense anxiety and/or panic attacks
- Losing interest in things, or losing the ability to experience pleasure
- Insomnia
- Becoming socially isolated and withdrawn from friends, family, and others
- Acting irritable or agitated
- Showing rage, or talking about seeking revenge for being victimized or rejected, whether or not the situations the person describes seem real
***Risk factors identified by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
Suicide can be prevented through effective treatment. At the Anxiety Treatment Center of Greater Chicago, our staff can help assess risk and alleviate the worry and concerns over suicide, while treating the sources of anxiety and depression. Contact us to set up a confidential consultation.

Ed Kelley, a veteran journalist and award-winning editor and reporter, has been named the new editor of The Washington Times.
Mr. Kelley, who is leaving his post as editor of The Oklahoman in Oklahoma City, will oversee news and opinion content for Washington Times Media, a multi-platform news organization focused on exclusive reporting and compelling conservative opinion. He assumes his duties July 1.
"The company had conducted a nationwide search to identify the best editor who would fit the unique news mission of The Washington Times. Ed Kelley is an excellent choice to advance The Washington Times as it builds a multimedia news company with audiences throughout the United States and world," said Douglas D.M. Joo, chairman of The Washington Times LLC.
Mr. Kelley, 58, was named Editor of the Year by the National Press Foundation in 1996, served as a Pulitzer Prize juror and was inducted to the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame in 2003 — the year he became editor of The Oklahoman. Before taking the helm of that paper, Mr. Kelley served in virtually every key editorial position at the news organization, including editorial page editor, managing editor and Washington-based correspondent and bureau chief.
Mr. Kelley oversaw the paper's coverage of the April 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that won widespread praise, including national honors for deadline reporting and spot news photography from the Society of Professional Journalists.
"I am excited about working with The Washington Times' journalists and editors to continue The Times' long history of trusted news and conservative opinion," Mr. Kelley said.
"I am also excited about the prospect of expanding the Washington metropolitan and national audience for washingtontimes.com and the growth of The Times in other digital, mobile, radio, television and print media."
Christy Everest, chairman and chief executive officer for The Oklahoma Publishing Company, publisher of The Oklahoman, praised Mr. Kelley Friday and said "there couldn't have been a better choice" when he was named the paper's top editor in 2003.
Mr. Kelley began his career at The Oklahoman as a summer intern in 1974 and became a full-time reporter after graduating from the University of Oklahoma a year later. He has been a general assignment reporter, city editor and business editor during his career at the newspaper.
"For more than 35 years, he has served with integrity, professionalism and the highest journalistic principles," Ms. Everest said.
Mr. Kelley's skill in new media strategies has won him recognition, particularly through "Oklahoma Matters," his daily video commentary on issues of public interest, posted online for readers. Mr. Kelley also shepherded the reorganization and redesign of his former paper to suit a changing, competitive media landscape.
"The Washington Times — and our readers — are very fortunate to have an editor with Ed Kelley's stature and experience," said Times President Thomas P. McDevitt. "His traditional sense of news credibility and valuable insight into new media makes him one of the finest news editors in America."
Mr. Kelley fills a position left vacant since the 29-year-old paper was purchased in November by a group operating on behalf of the paper's founder, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. The newspaper — which underwent a short-lived ownership change and staff and circulation cuts in 2010 — reintroduced an expanded edition in March that restored coverage in sports, local news and the arts. As part of the expansion, regional home delivery was also reinstated.
The Times' Managing Editor Christopher Dolan and Editorial Page Editor Brett M. Decker will continue in their roles.
A native of Perry, Oklahoma, Mr. Kelley began his journalism career with his hometown paper, covering local sports for the Perry Daily Journal.

WASHINGTON - Complete with a performance of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," led by Head Men's Basketball Coach John Thompson III, the Georgetown men's and women's basketball teams tipped off the college basketball season behind a packed house at McDonough Arena Friday night.
The rain and cold weather did not affect the crowd at McDonough Arena, as thousands of students packed the building for the annual celebration.
Behind a live national television audience on ESPNU - with nationally-recognized college basketball analyst Bill Raftery and Lou Canellis - calling the action, fans were introduced to the Hoya men's and women's basketball teams in a fun-filled evening.
Doors to the arena opened around 7:45 p.m. and fans were treated to tremendous performances from the Georgetown University Step Team and Groove Theory.
That was followed by a shooting contest between the upperclassmen and underclassmen on the men's and women's teams and various students. The contest was won by the upperclassmen and saw the underclassmen perform 10 push-ups at midcourt.
The women's basketball team was introduced one-by-one, capped off by the introduction of Head Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy, who led the crowd in a chant of Hoya Saxa.
Before the introduction of the men's team, the NBA jersey for former Georgetown standout DaJuan Summers was unveiled on the famed Jersey Wall at McDonough.
The men's team was then introduced, with the last two to visit the floor being junior guards Austin Freeman and Chris Wright, followed by Head Coach John Thompson III.
After leading the teams in a dance routine at midcourt, Thompson honored late pop singer Michael Jackson by pulling out a white glove for his left hand and leading the men's team in a performance of his legendary song "Thriller."
The evening closed with a dunking exhibition and run of the floor by the men's basketball team and the rallying cry of "We Are...Georgetown."

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Rational Robot: the living legend

Rational Robot end of life: fair early warning?
GWA 110000CJA5 Comment (1) Visits (1589)
Are you using IBM Rational Robot? Robot will go end of life 30 April 2016. That means that IBM no longer supports Robot. In this post I will point out what that could mean to you.
Robot has been out for more than 15 years. Since that time the software world has been changing rapidly and still is developing at breakneck speed. For many present-day applications, Robot is no longer the right tool. For example, Robot is a 32-bit tool. As such, Robot cannot work with 64-bit applications.
Case study
A European customer has used Robot from the beginning of this century to monitor their web applications. At that time, only Robot integrated with Tivo
Next: don't shoot the messenger
Therefore I think that a gradual switch over to RFT and RPT would be the best option I can think of. When you decommission an application that you have tested with Robot, you can replace Robot with RFT or RPT for the replacement. The same might apply when you make far-reaching changes to your applications.
Hopefully this post helps you to think about the future of your testing activities. If you'd like to discuss this further, leave a comment here or connect with me on Twitter @GunangWaney. You can also open a service request against IBM support, preferably before 30 April 2016.

But you can feel the pain
Lyric Meaning
Two meanings:
When Drake sings, he puts all his emotions into every syllable
R&B crooner T-Pain made auto-tune popular… duh.
Also, the auto-tune line combined with this eludes to Kanye West's album 808s and Heartbreak, where West used auto-tune extensively in order to sing, because singing was a better way to express his pain, sadness. It was a pretty emotional album.
FYI: Did you know T-Pain is actually a robot?

CHICAGO -- As much of a blow as it was for the D-backs to lose third baseman Eric Chavez to an oblique strain, the injury created an opportunity for catcher Miguel Montero. Montero, still working out of a season-long slump, slid into Chavez's cleanup spot in the batting order Friday, and the D-backs are hoping the move can help jumpstart Montero's season. "I think we just have to give him an opportunity," manager Kirk Gibson said. "At some point, he has to perform. The team needs him. He hit for us there last year. He's capable of doing it." In the cleanup spot for 47 games last season, Montero hit .254 with 27 RBI, five home runs and a .365 on-base percentage. Before Friday, Montero had hit cleanup 19 times this season, going 12 for 73 (.165) with seven RBI. Through the last two games, the results have been trending upward for Montero. He tallied two hits in a loss Friday, including a double that drove in one of the D-backs' two runs. In the D-backs' 12-4 win Saturday, Montero...

RESEARCH Open Access
Operative versus conservative treatment for patellar
dislocation: a meta-analysis of 7 randomized
controlled trials
Biao Cheng1*†, Xing Wu1†, Heng'an Ge1,2, Ye qing Sun1and Qiang Zhang1,2
Purpose: Patellofemoral pathology is common, and patellofemoral dislocation mainly affects adolescents and
young adults. We conducted a meta-analysis exclusively of RCTs to compare the clinical outcomes of patellar
dislocation patients managed operatively versus non-operatively.
Methods: After systematic review of electronic databases and websites, a total of 7 RCTs reporting data on 402
subjects were included. The methodological quality of the literature was assessed using the PEDro critical appraisal
tool. Mean differences (MDs) and risk ratio (RR) were calculated for the pooled effects. Heterogeneity was assessed
using the I2test.
Results: Data synthesis showed a lower rate of recurrent patellar dislocation post-treatment in patients managed
operatively compared to non-operatively (P = 0.01).
Conclusion: The results suggest a difference in outcomes between the treatment strategies. However the limited
number of studies and high risk of inherent bias indicate that future studies involving more patients in better-designed
randomized controlled trials will be required.

Patellofemoral pathology is one of the most common con-
ditions in the clinical work of the general orthopedist, with
patellofemoral dislocation mainly affecting adolescents
and young adults [1,2]. Patellar dislocation accounts for
2–3% of all knee lesions and is the second most common
cause of traumatic haemarthrosis of the knee [3,4]. There
are various anatomical factors which predispose individ-
uals to patellar dislocation, such as trochlear dysplasia,
abnormal extensor mechanism alignment, patella alta, hy-
permobility syndrome, a tight lateral retinaculum, hypo-
plasia of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), occurrence
in youth, family history, and bilateral symptoms [5-7].
Proper treatment is essential in order to minimize se-
quelae such as recurrent dislocation, painful subluxation,
and osteoarthritis [8]. Traditionally, patients have been
managed non-operatively following a first time disloca-
tion, except when associated patellar displacement or
osteochondral fractures of the lateral femoral condyle
are present [7,9-11]. This non-operative strategy often
consists of a period of immobilization in a splint or cast,
followed by physiotherapy, principally of the quadriceps
complex [12-14]. However, the literature has suggested that
the recurring instability rate is more than 50% after non-
operative treatment and thus some authors have advocated
that surgical intervention such as repair or reconstruction
of the medial retinaculum and medial patellofemoral liga-
ment (MPFL), medialisation of the tibial tubercle, and
lateral release procedures should be performed [15-22].
To date, there have been seven prospective randomized
trials and one meta-analysis comparing conservative and
operative treatment after patellar dislocation. The meta-

analysis including 11 publications (only five randomized
controlled trials (RCTs)) indicated lower redislocation
rates, but higher rates of patellofemoral osteoarthritis after
operative treatment [6]. The author of that analysis con-
sidered that this finding should be interpreted with great
caution, since the inclusion of too many non-RCTs is the
weakness of that study. Therefore, it is necessary to con-
duct a meta-analysis including only RCTs to compare the
clinical outcomes of patients managed operatively com-
pared to non-operatively following a patellar dislocation.
Study sources and searches
The literature search was conducted in Medline, PubMed,
Embase, and The Cochrane Library Central register of
controlled trials to identify relevant published English arti-
cles from January 1966 to December 2013. The search key
words and subject terms used were "patellar dislocation"
"patella" "patellar subluxation" and "patellar instability".
Relevant articles in reference lists of published articles
were also searched.
Study selection and data extraction
All studies that were identified by the literature searches
were reviewed and selected according to the following
prior criteria: (i) patients with patellar dislocation regard-
less of age and sex; (ii) RCTs with two groups comparing
operation with conservative treatment; and (iii) outcomes
of operative or non-operative management of patients.

Authors of selected studies were contacted for further
information when necessary.
Data was extracted by two independent reviewers. The
extracted information included: (i) the first author, year of
publication, study type and study duration; (ii) the number
and characteristics of subjects; (iii) operative interventions
undertaken, non-operative strategies and treatment dur-
ation; and (iv) outcomes. The two reviewers reached
agreement on selected articles and extracted information
and if they disagreed, a third reviewer was invited to
resolve the differences. In cases of missing data, or when
mean or standard deviation (SD) values were not pre-
sented, corresponding authors were contacted to attempt
to obtain this data. Once completed, all data were then
synthesized into an agreed data extraction table. This
formed the basis of the results for data analysis.
Evaluation of methodological quality
Data were extracted by one main researcher and then
verified by another researcher. Any discrepancies were
resolved by discussion. The methodological quality of each
study was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence
Database (PEDro) scale [23]. To minimize selection
bias, two investigators rated each study independently
and subsequently assigned a score based on the PEDro
Outcome measurement
The frequency of recurrent patellar dislocation was used
as the primary outcome in patients managed operatively
compared to non-operatively following a patellar dis-
location under investigation. Secondary outcomes under
investigation included functional outcomes assessed
using the Kujala score [24], Tegner activity score [25],
pain, frequency of recurrent instability, Hughston visual
analog score (VAS) [26], patient satisfaction, return to
functional activities, and frequency of subsequent surgical

when no substantial differences in study populations,
interventions or outcome measurements were observed.
The chi-squared statistic and the I2statistic were used to
assess heterogeneity. Studies with an I2statistic of >75%
were considered to have a high degree of heterogeneity;
studies with an I2statistic of 50–75% were considered to
have a moderate degree of heterogeneity; and studies with
an I2statistic of 25–50% were considered to have a low
degree of heterogeneity. Publication bias was not exam-
ined due to the small number of studies (< 10) included
in each analysis.
A fixed-effect model was initially employed in the ana-
lysis, unless significant heterogeneity was observed; a ran-
dom effects model analysis was used in order to account
for the extra uncertainty due to heterogeneity. For con-
tinuous outcomes with the same measurement scale,
means were computed with 95% confidence intervals
(CIs). However, for continuous outcomes with different
measurement scales, standardized mean difference (SMD)
was calculated. The dichotomous outcomes were pre-
sented as a risk ratio (RR) with 95% CIs. A P value lower
than 0.05 or a 95% CI that did not contain unity was con-
sidered statistically significant. Outcomes were summa-
rized and expressed using a forest plot. Descriptive
analysis was used for any individual result which was not
available for meta-analysis.
Search results
Eight studies [2,7-9,27-30] were included in this meta-
analysis with a total of 402 patients. The flow diagram of
the study search process is presented in Figure 1. We
identified two published papers describing a single RCT
[27,28]. The characteristics of the included studies are
provided in Table 1. The characteristics of patients in
the included studies are listed in Table 2. In cases of
conservative treatment, the position and duration of
immobilization, and physiotherapy regimes, were noted.
In respect to operative intervention, lateral release or
MPFL repair were performed in the studies. The mean
PEDro score of the 7 trials was 6.0 (SD = 0.63), and de-
tailed results are summarized in Figure 2. Blinded sub-
jects, blinded clinicians and intention-to-treat analysis
were not used in any of the RCTs. Only two of the
seven RCTs used the concealed allocation method.
One RCT did not report the point estimates or
Results of pooled analysis
The detailed results of the pooled analysis are presented

recurrent patellar dislocation (P=0.01, 95% CI: 0.53–0.92,
I2=43%) (Figure 3). A higher rate of recurrent patellar
dislocation events post-treatment was demonstrated in
patients managed non-operatively compared to those
managed operatively.
Data on frequency of recurrent instability/subluxation
rate was available in all RCTs [2,7-9,28-30]. After meta-
analysis, no significant effect of the frequency of recur-
rent instability/subluxation was observed (RR =0.82,
95% CI: 0.75–1.28, P =0.86), with a moderate degree of
heterogeneity (P =0.07, I2= 57%) (Figure 4).
After meta-analysis of all included RCTs [2,7-9,28-30],
no significant difference in the Kujala score between the
two treatment groups was observed (MD=6.38, 95% CI:
−5.32–18.08, P=0.29), with a high degree of heterogeneity
across the studies (P < 0.00001, I2=98%) (Figure 5).
With respect to patient satisfaction or frequency of the
requirement for subsequent surgery, a statistically sig-
nificant difference was found between the two treatment
groups (P= 0.05, Table 3, Figure 6), without significant
After combining the data from three of the seven in-
cluded RCTs [8,27-29], a significantly higher Tegner score
was observed in the non-operative group compared to pa-
tients who received operative management (MD=−1.02,
95% CI: −1.19 to −0.85, P < 0.00001), with a low degree
of heterogeneity across the studies (P = 0.25, I2= 28%)
(Figure 7). After meta-analysis of two RCTs [27-29], a
significantly better outcome in Hughston VAS score
with higher scores was observed in the non-operative
group, compared to those who received operative manage-
ment (MD=−5.68, 95% CI: −9.49 to −1.88, P=0.003),
without significant heterogeneity across the studies (P=
0.66, I2=0) (Figure 8).
In this meta-analysis, we summarized findings in the
clinical literature on the outcomes of operative versus
conservative treatment for patellar dislocation. On the
basis of the available evidence, this study demonstrates a
higher rate of recurrent patellar dislocation events post-
treatment, higher Tegner score and higher Hughston VAS
score in patients managed non-operatively compared to
patients managed operatively.
All RCTs [2,7-9,28-30] suggested that operative
treatment of patellar dislocation results in a lower risk
of recurrent patellar dislocation compared to non-
operative treatment. There were six RCTs in which
patients were managed operatively compared to non-
operatively following the first patellar dislocation
among the seven included RCTs. Therefore, the finding
should be interpreted with great caution with reference
to recurrent patellar dislocation. In 2011, Smith et al.
showed equivalent results in their meta-analysis [6].
They considered that the result should be interpreted
with great caution due to statistically significant funnel

"Delfzijl a Harbour City in the North Netherlands." Delfzijl by Waalewiener
Delfzijl Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 101 photos
Two great ladies in this picture Lori is my wonderful wife ,and Roelien is a great friend of ours .We visited Roelien at her home in Hoogkerk near Groningen,and Roelien asked us what we would like to do and I said I would like to visit Delfzijl the Harbour City where I went to a Sea Cadet shool in 1961 -1963.
so of we went ,and here we are in Delfzijl.Thanks Roelien for showing us Delfzijl and area.
Delfzijl is a major Sea Harbour in the Northern part of the Netherlands, it is a medium size City with 30.000 people,there is a vibrant industry and it has been there since the middle ages.Because of the exploitation of natural gas and salt many businesses from inside and outside the country settled in Delfzijl.
Inthe 70 's Delfzijl grew the most ,and many new homes were build , at the present the City's North side is growing fast.Delfzijl can be reached very well by rail and by water.
As many other Dutch Cities Delfzijl has a great downtown and a nice looking '' Molen " Windmill,named Molen Adam.Since 1974 the Molen Adam houses an Exposition where some 8 or 9 Expositions per year are held.
De '' Stichting Exposition Molen Adam " are the people that make the Expositions happen.
- Pros:Delfzijl is nice middle size Harbour City
- In a nutshell:Make a visit to Delfzijl ,it is worth seeing .

Hey Hans: Just had to make a comment on this page. Is the "Turkey's steambath" for turkeys only? I have visions of turkeys with a little towel wrapped around their waist. gobble gobbling the latest gossip.
I can never pronounce Dutch names, and this one is a good example! Lori looks very fetching in her clogs!
Yes, we are all obsessed with VT, there's no denying it, hahaha! Looks like an interesting nostalgic trip!
owh ... my mom again ... mom told me it was fun ;)
Interesting page & photos. Neat hotel!
The hotel on pilings looks unique. Looks like you had a great time! Very nice page Hans!
It has been believed that most of the fishes caught are mostly exported to neighbour European countries. Nice page
Great page again. I like tose colourful wooden shoes.
What a weird location that hotel is build ! on some wooden pilars over the sea wowww... and has much been changed since you left? nice page Hans! my regards to Lori!
