This book features a comprehensive photography essay of Castelão Stadium. The project, designed by Vigliecca & Associados, is located in Fortaleza CE, Brazil. The new building uses the existing structure of the previous stadium. The new façade includes curved metal rings that supports the ceiling. A new concrete plinth integrates other functions, besides the parking garage, as the Sports Department.
Leonardo Finotti is today one of the leading architectural photographers worldwide. Finotti´s images bring us an extremely depurated vision which takes us close to the essence of each project.

- Phones work (receive & sending) but do not RING..... ?????
Phones work (receive & sending) but do not RING..... ?????
If you're not able to get that phone tested outside at the box, take the "old phone" you used outside and plug it in inside the house and try it. If it rings, that again points to the phone in question having a bad ringer. I haven't stayed up to speed on this area, but I don't think it'd make a difference if the red & green wires were reversed. I know it used to if you had Touch-Tone service...reversing the wires would disable Touch-Tone service, although you'd still be able to call out and receive calls.
Good luck - I hope this is of some help!

1. Unplug all but one phone - does that one phone ring?
2. It could be one of the phones has a short for the ringer that is shorting out all ringers. Again unplug all but one phone.
3. The wire carrying the ringer voltage is shorted - could be a nail for a picture, a mouse chewed thru it, etc
I just bought this house and it's a 42 years old home. Everything seem fine, just that the phone thing now is giving us prolbems.
Thanks for all and any help.
Are you able to remove the outlet inside the home and see what color wires are going to it? I'm wondering if it's actually got the red & green wires going to it or not. If it has any color pair besides red and green, someone's done some repair work on the lines. If it has all four wires going to it, you might need to check and make sure they're going to the proper terminals on the outlet. Most of the newer ones have their terminals labeled R (red), G (green), Y (yellow) and B (black). One last thing to try might be to replace the line cord connecting the phone to the wall. One of my cats chewed on mine before and the line worked most of the time...if you moved the phone itself about 2 feet, though, it'd cut out entirely.
As I said before, I'm really a bit rusty at this stuff...I haven't had to troubleshoot a major phone problem in over 15 years. I've run my own wiring and stuff but matching all the wire colors normally works.
Someone else mentioned the "numbers" and having too many devices on the lines. As FYI, it's known as the Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN. Each phone, answering machine, Caller ID box, modem, etc., should have a REN indicated on it somewhere. The old standard (which may still be in effect) was the REN's of all the devices on the phone lines couldn't exceed 5.0 - if it did, your phone service quality would suffer.
I hope some of this may help you, or help someone else suggest some more troubleshooting steps for you to try. Good luck!

There is a thesis that legal rules need to be made public because people cannot guide their conduct by rules they cannot know. This thesis has been a mainstay of anti-positivism and the controversy over it continues apace. However, positivism can accommodate the secret laws thesis. The deeper import of the debate over secret laws concerns our understanding of law's nature. In this regard secrecy merits attention as a candidate necessary connection between law and immorality. In addition the mediating role of lawyers as experts in ascertaining the law should be highlighted. It has been widely overlooked despite the fact that lawyers are criterial in Hart's concept of law.

Santos and Zasloff (1981) [PubMed 6261953] identified 12 initiator methionine tRNA genes, symbolized tRNA-i(met), in the haploid human genome. Zasloff et al. (1982) [PubMed 6923137] found a variant tRNA-i(met) with a G-to-T transversion in the highly conserved TCGA sequence in loop 4, a sequence position occupied exclusively by a purine (usually G) in almost 200 prokaryotic and eukaryotic tRNAs. One functional consequence of this base substitution is reduction in the rate of processing of the primary transcript of the gene. A second, demonstrated by microinjection into the germinal vesicle of the intact Xenopus laevis oocyte, is blockage of egress from the nucleus. It has been estimated that the human haploid genome contains 1,000 to 2,000 tRNA genes and that there are 50 to 60 chromatographically distinct tRNA species. These observations suggest redundancy of some tRNA genes. The studies of initiator methionine tRNA genes bear out this suspicion.[supplied by OMIM, Sep 2009]

TRX-CAT2-1 (Transfer RNA-IMet (CAT) 2-1) is an RNA Gene, and is affiliated with the tRNA class.

When thinking about a camping or RV trip, that is, enjoying the outdoors and permanent contact with nature, we must choose good clothes and footwear to fully enjoy every moment.
That is why Timberland is one of those brands that think people like you, and this, the model Men's Radler Trail Camp is a pair that will undoubtedly meet most requirements of any camper who wishes to spend their vacations visiting different areas, exploring, and all with maximum comfort on your feet.
Of course, since these slippers are lightweight, have a recycled rubber outsole provides traction, have been manufactured in water- repellent fabric lining and removable insoles and provide warmth not to suffer the cold. However, also, this is a compact shoe can become smaller.
This is because the sneakers can be bent and thanks to the zipper incorporated, closed and thus reduce their size dramatically. Ideal for not taking up space in your backpack. Available in yellow, red or black, the price of this shoe is 45.70 euros at the exchange.

- The Science Museum in London since 2007 has had an exhibit called "DO NOT TOUCH". A large pole with a barred-off bare metal waist is surrounded by brain-searing yellow warning signs, proximity-sensor klaxons, and screens telling patrons that the pole will give them an electric shock. You can't help but touch it! Yes, you do get an electric shock.
- This Place is Not a Place of Honor: The US Department of Energy is designing monuments that warn future visitors away from nuclear waste disposal sites such as Yucca Mountain and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. The ideas they've come up with are fascinating — but not one of them has managed to avert the site being Schmuck Bait of the highest caliber. To their credit, they're well aware that anything they design is potential Schmuck Bait, and they're actively working to minimize the bait factor.
- Jerry Pournelle once suggested an elegant solution: Put the waste in one of the areas of desert that are already radioactive because nuclear weapons were tested there. Surround it with miles of fence and lots of signs that say IF YOU CROSS THIS FENCE YOU WILL DIE. Some people will do it anyway. "Think of it as evolution in action. Average human intelligence goes up by a fraction of a percent."
- Any Wet Paint sign.
Tell a man there are 978,301,246,569,987 stars in the sky, and he will believe you. Show him a "Wet Paint" sign, and he will check and get his finger stained.
— Julian Tuwim
- There is a similar joke about restaurant patrons touching hot plates 'just to be sure.'
- Apparently, some tech departments will periodically send out emails supposedly with viruses attached, informing everyone at large not to open attachments like that. If someone does, it will turn out that the "virus" is actually a tracer that lets the department tell managers which of their employees cannot follow directions.
- Turning off the Electronic Stability Control (either to get a quicker start-speed by turning off the Launch Control or to facilitate street race "drifting") on a Nissan GT-R will void the warranty, should the car get damaged in that mode. Sure, the ESC is shown to make crashes 35% less likely, and there are few legit reasons to turn it off, unless you are stuck in mud or snow... but a button that, when pressed, will let you go 0 to 65 in 3.4 seconds is preeeeety tempting. The 2012 Nissan GT-R would remove the bait, by adding the "R-Mode Start" option, where the ESC may be switched to an "R" mode, only coming on after the initial burst of speed.
- Including Schmuck Bait options in multiple-choice questions is common practice for the SATs, standardized tests, and regular school tests. It's so common that test-prep courses actually give the Schmuck a name (e.g. "Joe Bloggs") and demonstrate how this gullible strawman, thinking he's being clever, always falls for the Schmuck Bait.
- British revision site BBC Bitesize loves this "trick":
In order to deal with a rapidly increasing population, the Chinese government introduced...
a) The One-child policy
b) The Two-child policy
c) Free Contraception
d) The Child Catcher
- The Voltage Switch on the back of computer PSUs. Flicking it causes a loud bang, a lot of smoke, and a broken PSU.
- Well, maybe. The switch routes to a voltage doubler on the 115V setting. Switching it to 230V in the US, Canada, and other 100V-120V countries won't do anything. Switching to 115V in 230V countries however will blow up the power supply.
- Inverted with the PlayStation 3 - each console warns on the back that it will only accept one exact power voltage, usually the voltage where the PS3 was originally sold in. People who imported their PS3 found that it's a sham, a PS3 actually has a world-multi power supply board. Sony was most likely trying to discourage people from importing their consoles.
- rm -rf / for novice Unix users. Especially don't run it as root. rm is "remove". The -r is "recursive". -f means "don't ask me if I'm sure." The single slash denotes the entire filesystem, kinda like C:\ for a Windows machine, but even more. If you run it as a regular user, it'll delete everything you have access to. If you run it as the superuser, (root, user 1, the administrative user) then it'll delete everything. At which point the computer will stop working. Most modern Unix variants will prevent you from running it, since it has no legitimate use.note
- Man page for hdparm. It is a utility of Linux systems for reconfiguring/testing how the OS interfaces with the hard disk, and optimizing those settings for the hardware installed. All the potentially data-destructing options are thankfully lined in BOLD, ALL CAPS warnings stating they are VERY DANGEROUS, and that you should NOT USE THESE OPTIONS.
- Also, if one types fsck to check a disk on a mounted filesystem, Linux will give a dire error message: "WARNING!! The filesystem is mounted. If you continue you ***WILL*** cause ***SEVERE*** filesystem damage." It won't stop someone from doing it, they can press yes anyway.
- For Debian-style distributions, attempting to remove an essential package will yield the warning "You are about to do something potentially harmful. To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'". Indeed, the action will not complete without typing the phrase. Copy/pasting the line won't work.
- This message has the tendency to appear when a distro switch out one important package for an alternative (say, dumping SysV initscripts for SystemD) during a major distro upgrade under certain conditions. However, in this case, the admin doing the upgrade most likely is already prepared for this and knows what s/he is doing.
- Also, people who tell Windows users to delete "System32" because it'll greatly improve performance. Windows usually prevents you from doing this however. If you're on an "Administrator" account, you can access the System32 files just fine, but only after seeing a message saying something like "These files are hidden, and are required for proper operation of your computer." You can "okay" the message, but it doesn't actually stop you...
- Lecturers at some Universities to catch students.
- Luis von Ahn at Carnegie Mellon sets at least one assignment per year with a Google-bomb phrase in the questions, leading to a website with the answer and the correct solutions, which logged the IP addresses of people who entered the website. As students were told not to use the internet to do such questions (and such phrases did not exist), he would then happily accuse students who visited the website as cheaters.
- Samir Siksek is also famous for this at Warwick.
- Some Software Engineer teachers bug their sample programs in this way to detect code reverse-engineered from that sample program. For example, a program that takes a random number to generate a result would, on a specific number in the test program (and thus all code derived from that program) return a message that the student had cheated.
- Invoked by police all over the US with bait cars. A bait car is a Cool Car that's set out on the street and "abandoned", while an officer watches from a safe distance. All the car's functions are remote-controlled, allowing the police to shut off the engine and force-lock the doors in order to trap anyone that tries to break in or steal the car. And there's a camera hidden in the dashboard, so they have proof that the thief stole it.
- This shirt neatly summarizes the phenomenon.
- These ominously-labelled switches.
- Sign on Newcastle Tramway: TOUCHING WIRES CAUSES INSTANT DEATH. $200 FINE.
- Heart Attack Grill: It's as close to Exactly What It Says on the Tin as it can be. It doesn't grill heart attacks, but it is themed around food which is known to cause them and other health problems. Among the delicacies are extra-large hamburgers (the smallest weigh half a poundnote and the largest run to two poundsnote , served with fries cooked in pure lard. It's themed as a hospital, with the staff being healthy "doctors" and "nurses" who serve to customers as "patients". And the food is named after health problems and surgeries (for instance, the burgers run from "Single Bypass" to "Quadruple Bypass" and the fries are called "Flatliner Fries"). Two spokespeople have already died at ages 29 and 52, respectively. If you are still willing to eat there knowing all of this...
- Any action of which the showing is preceded by the words "Don't Try This at Home."
- If you're going to the restaurant known as "The Crab Cooker," don't look up there.◊ It's a red herring.
- Pang Juan, a general of Wei in China's Warring States period, came across writing scratched on a tree: however, it was too dark to read. Accordingly, he had a torch lit, revealing the writing to be "Pang Juan dies under this tree". The lighting of the torch was the signal for an ambush, set by Pang's rival Sun Bin,note to attack. Pang Juan would commit suicide under that same tree.
- In Metro Manila in the Philippines, there is a sign set-up in the middle of a two-lane main thoroughfare which reads (in the vernacular) "Do not cross. Someone has already died here. Use the overpass." This is a warning to all potential jaywalkers to use appropriate overpasses and pedestrian crossings. Guess what most of the Filipinos reading it do next.
- Rabbits, despite being oh-so-cute and snuggly, are reportedly prone to kicking forcefully with their (clawed!) hind feet in response to the inevitable attempts at snuggling them.
- Similarly, cats. Ultra-cute, fuzzy, and snuggly, but also extremely flexible, pointy at five of their six ends, and notoriously prone to violent mood swings. They often like to cuddle, but don't expect them to remain in that mood for a very long time...
- A cat lying on its back exposing its belly - it's not inviting you to pet its belly, it's inviting you to play. Unfortunately, it's a kind of playing that typically involves claws, teeth, and pain.
- Similarly, cats. Ultra-cute, fuzzy, and snuggly, but also extremely flexible, pointy at five of their six ends, and notoriously prone to violent mood swings. They often like to cuddle, but don't expect them to remain in that mood for a very long time...
- If you access the about:robots page on Mozilla Firefox, there is a button like with most error pages that reads "Try again". Pressing the button yields another message: "Please do not press this button again."
- Pressing the button again causes it to disappear.
- Bot messages. Especially when they hijack someone you know that has potential to send you links. The only exception are YIM spam bots, as they know that any message exchanged opens door for programs to snatch login data.
NotASpamBot: Hi! I just met you and this is crazy! So here is my site and join me maybe! www.totallysafesexychicksite.orgFriend: I just found a way to find out if someone blocked you! Click here >> www.amiblocked.com
- In a similar manner, people that send you message or emails that say something like "We need to verify your account/your account information may be compromised. Please enter your account information to secure/verify your account." Nearly every single website or online company will NEVER ask for your personal information, yet people on a daily basis keep giving up their info and have their bank accounts or personal identity stolen as a result.
- In 2008, Valve attempted to get a hacker arrested in an FBI sting operation by offering him a job. Though they did get him to admit to infiltrating their network he didn't fly to the US for a "face-to-face" interview
- If anyone ever asks if you if you want a Hertz Donut, the correct answer is no. If you say yes, they'll punch you and say, "Hurts, don't it?"
- Shortly after the launch of the Xbox One, an image spread around with instructions that supposedly enables backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games, by going into the developer console and changing the sandbox ID to "freezone.reboot". It actually sends the console into an infinite reset loop, effectively bricking it.
- A psychological experiment found that, left alone for fifteen minutes with a button that delivered a painful electric shock, two-thirds of men and a quarter of women would press the button. One 'outlier' pressed the button 190 times.
- Some people catch pedophiles on webcam by pretending to be a child and using a fake webcam video, hoping the pedophile is too stupid and/or horny to notice the video is on a loop.
- The Other Wiki has a similar concept in its project pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_stuff_beans_up_your_nose
- The Jimmy John's sub sandwich food chain have folded paper displays on their tables with a giant QR code that says "WHY WOULD ANYONE SCAN THESE!? (I don't even know what they do.)" Scanning the QR code gives you a message.
- The "Bullet Catch" is an infamous feat of stage magic which is virtually never attempted today, as several professional magicians who'd historically made it a part of their repertoire have either killed their assistants doing so, or been killed themselves. Despite its deadly record, or more likely because it's so lethal, it's still a tempting prospect for little-known magicians who want to build up their reputations very fast. (The ones who've already made it big avoid this trick like the plague.)
- The last widely publicized time that this trick/stunt was attempted was in 1995 when Penn & Teller decided to try it, with Teller firing the gun for Penn to catch the bullet, complete with a US Air Force officer and a Las Vegas Metro Police officer. The stunt was the grand finale for the 2nd annual "World's Greatest Magic" show on Thanksgiving night. Everything worked flawlessly.
- Then again, if there's anyone who could be counted on to know how to do this trick/stunt competently, and to make a point of abiding by that knowledge, it's those two.
- A more recent attempt in 2012 by Steve Cohen led to him being hospitalized for bruising due to a piece of glass that the bullet was shot through. He's not only lucky to have caught the bullet; he's lucky to have survived the trick at all!
- The MythBusters proved in one episode that the bullet catch trick is just that—a trick. Any real attempt to catch such a bullet with your teeth would shatter said teeth and leave you seriously injured, if not dead.
- The important thing to remember about magic tricks is that they use visual and audio trickery to give the impression of the impossible. Bullet-catching involves keeping the bullet in the magician's teeth the entire time while the assistant uses a blank cartridge, the "cutting a box containing a person in half" trick sees the assistant retracting their legs into the front half of the box (often with a pair of convincing fake feet sticking out of the back half) as the box is split apart, and so on. Anyone who takes these tricks at face value and tries to replicate them without knowing how they work is likely Too Dumb to Live. "Magicians" as it were, do not actually refer to themselves as such. They market themselves as it, and have no problems with being referred to with that name, but personally they prefer "Illusionist."
- The last widely publicized time that this trick/stunt was attempted was in 1995 when Penn & Teller decided to try it, with Teller firing the gun for Penn to catch the bullet, complete with a US Air Force officer and a Las Vegas Metro Police officer. The stunt was the grand finale for the 2nd annual "World's Greatest Magic" show on Thanksgiving night. Everything worked flawlessly.
- The Real Frank Zappa Book by Frank Zappa has an entire chapter devoted to the subject called: "All About Schmucks''.
- For Black Friday 2014, Cards Against Humanity took their game off of their store and replaced it with a $6 box of "Bullshit." Despite repeated assertions on the store page and through social media that the box would contain "literal feces, from an actual bull," over 30,000 people purchased the box. Yes, it contained (sterilized) bull poop. Yes, people were upset.
- The line for the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyland is made up to look like you are walking through ancient ruins. At one point, you go through a hall with poles holding up the ceiling. One of these is within reach of people in line and says "Do Not Touch". If you pull on it, the ceiling of the hall begins to shake and may even drop slightly. At another point you pass a well with a rope and a sign saying "Do Not Pull". If you decide to do so, the rope actually has some resistance and you will hear some audio from the well of something breaking and a person complaining about you destroying some artifact.
- A fairly popular prank amongst dirty-minded children is to ask someone to spell "icup", Gullible folks will not notice that they're saying "I see you pee".
- A variation is to ask the victim to spell "oil cup" without using the letter L. This yields, "Oh, I see you pee."
- Nature is full of these. One great example are anglerfish. Their dorsal fin has evolved into a tempting lure. Fish swimming by see a morsel, but find themselves violently engulfed by the far larger predator.
- Search for any recent big movie on YouTube and you'll see tons of videos claiming to be the full movie, but if you click it it will give a link to where it claims the full movie really is, but it really leads to a virus. Sometimes these fake videos go up before the movie is even out. Sometimes the thumbnail is just a promotional image for the movie or the logo for the movie studio. Sometimes it's not even the right movie studio logo.
- Clicking on links leading to the Website www.nicht-klicken.org (don't click) will get you spammed with over a thousand pop-ups.
- Some virus files will masquerade as very tempting files such as "(filename involving pornography).avi"...but are actually executable files, i.e. the actual full filename is "(filename).avi.exe". This is why many tech-adept users strongly advise disabling the "Hide extensions for known file types" option (which is on by default) in Microsoft Windows. Joel of Vinesauce had a field day with these in his "Windows 8 Destruction" video, the climax of which involves him opening up a file named "videoxxx.avi.exe" and discovering that it's ransomware that prevents his PC from booting unless he pays for an unlock code. (Fortunately, he was using a virtual machine.) There was also the slightly more benign Gin and Juice.exe.

Yadira Sonia
Update on Yadira SoniaYadira Sonia, 45, is married and has two children who are 12 and 6 years old and attending school. Yadira is from Chinandega Department, a place in the west of the country noted for being a very productive commercial zone. Yadira's activity is butchering pigs to sell pork for 'nacatamales' [Nicaraguan style tamales] which is one of the country's traditional dishes. She's been doing this activity for 14 years. It consists in going out to neighboring communities to buy the pigs that she subsequently butchers to sell nacatamales she makes herself; she sells them from place to place in various districts and to neighbors and she also sells them at home. She's requesting this financing to buy pigs to make nacatamales. Yadira Sonia is grateful for the help Kiva lenders provide for people of scarce resources from poor countries so they can have dignified ways of earning a living.
Previous Loan DetailsYadira Sonia is 44 years old. She makes a living in the pig business. She tells us that she learnt this business from her mother as she also carried out this activity.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

This is a nostalgic, childhood smell to me. Makes me think of sunshine, bubbles and laughter, being a child. It's also the best lipbalm I've ever used, nothing beats crazy rumors. The smell and the taste is always wonderful and I put this on before going to be and wake up with the softest lips! I used a another balm when I was out on Crazy rumors and actually was shocked when I woke up with extremely soft lips, I wondered what happened and then I remembered I was using Crazy rumors again. Sounds like a bad joke or commercial but this is a true story, I higly recommend!!

Fresh Pop Culture
There are a few aspects of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that every fan can remember. For one, theres the catchy opening song. Thats a given. There are probably some out there who never even caught an episode of the Will Smith series, and still know all the words to that classic. And the other, is the good old Carlton dance.
If you were a little kid in the 1990s, nothing sticks with you quite like the music. Well, except for maybe the awesome snacks that are now all but extinct. At any rate, I remember jamming to cassette tapes and eventually that new-fangled device called a CD to some of my favorite tunes. This awesome YouTube clip smashes so many childhood memories into six minutes, I think I might cry from pure joy.
Theres no single late night talk show format. All of the major hosts have their own sets of strengths and weaknesses, and in order to be successful, each performer needs to continually find ways to highlight those strengths and gloss of those negatives. Thats why David Letterman spends such a high percentage of his runtime interviewing guests.
The fifty-sixth annual Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles this evening. Quite a few of musics biggest and brightest artists took home honors, but the biggest single hat tips of the night went to Daft Punk. The duo won both Record of the Year and Album of the Year, topping a slew of popular artists from different genres including Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke and Macklemore.
Justin Timberlakes The 20/20 Experience dropped in March, selling almost a million copies in its first week. The lengthy album has spawned several successful singles, including Suit & Tie and Mirrors. Now that Timberlake is back in the music business, hes showing no signs of stopping. Late Thursday, the singer released the audio for his latest song, TKO.
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon have collaborated frequently on his late night show in the past. The two are probably most famous for their Late Night with Jimmy Fallon History of Rap videos, but last night JT popped up to help Fallon out with a different sort of sketch. The new sketch is called Evolution of End Zone Dancing and it follows the guys showing off some dance skills as well as an affection for comedy
Music fans might want to block off the month of September, as the iTunes Festival returns in a matter of days, kicking off 30 consecutive nights of free shows this Sunday, which will be viewable for free via iTunes. The first artist to perform at London's Roundhouse for the festival is Lady Gaga, whose concert is scheduled for this Sunday night (September 1). Check out the full schedule and find out how you can watch ahead.
Before N Sync even took the stage last night, there were a number of questions swirling focusing on whether or not the much-hyped reunion would be a special, one-off performance or a brilliant teaser for a future world tour. If crowd reaction was any indication of how the boys might do on the road, there is definitely more than enough interest , but even so, it looks like well all have to be content with the two minute snippet we got last night.
The MTV Video Music Awards are as much about the performances as they are about the awards themselves. The event's history is cluttered with memorable musical performances. Remember Britney Spears and the snake? Or when Eminem made it very clear that he's the real Slim Shady?
Sure Justin, it's true that the Internet screamed like a One Direction concert the minute rumors of an 'N Sync concert first broke. But did you have to make it sound like such a threat at the VMAs last night? I wondered for a while if Justin would be too self-conscious about his super-smooth current image to allow a reunion with 'N Sync to happen on live TV, and the rumors I heard say the reunion wasn't a guarantee until the very last minute over the weekend
98 Degrees, The Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block did it and took the act on tour. Destiny's Child did it as part of one of the best Super Bowl halftime performances in recent memory. The Spice Girls did at the damn Olympics. Reuniting the all-girl or all-guy singing group that got you your start is all the rage these days, so it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise that 'N Sync is rumored to be jumping on the tren
N Sync might have said Bye Bye Bye following a tribute to the Bee Gees at the 2003 Grammy Awards, but that doesnt mean theyre done for good. Rumors are currently flying that members of the popular boyband may take the stage together at the Video Music Awards on August 25.
Thanks to Robin Thickes video for Blurred Lines and Justin Timberlakes clip for Tunnel Vision, music video nudity has been a pretty hot topic over the past few weeks. To some, the ample number of naked female models shimmying beside fully-clothed male artists has amounted to nothing more than good, dirty fun. To others, all the nudity has combined together to form one giant exploitive middle finger at women.
Now Timberlake doesn't just have to live up to his own hype, but to the standard he set himself, as he prepares to release the second half of The 20/20 Experience this fall. The first single off that album, "Take Back The Night," is what you were just listening to above, a disco-inflected track that sounds like it could have wandered over form Michael Jackson's Off the Wall album
The 4th of July holiday also roughly marks the midpoint of the year, a time when Nielsen Soundscan puts out a report tracking the bestselling albums of the year. This year, new music from Justin Timberlake, Mumford & Sons, Bruno Mars, Blake Shelton, and Imagine Dragons are the most popular album titles so far, although a few different names appear on the singles list.

C1 and C2 endurance sports racing cars at the Silverstone Classic. Via an X100T.
The Business End
What's the problem here?
Part of my problem right now is that this all appears to be directionless and haphazard and without any sense of focus or narrative. Or even theme.
It's all very well calling it 'ordinary' or whatever (now there's a name that's aleardy taken), but if it's just a load of 'pretty' photographs with no narrative or explanation or coherence, then what's the point?
Who's it aimed at? Why am I doing it?
I've asked this of myself many times over the past ten years or so. It's now got to the point where I'm more concerned with how this all looks rather than what the content is. A big red flag.
I used to not care of course.
Hang on a minute. Most of the people I respect and take inspiration from in the fields of artistic expression (casting my net wide here) never gave a shit / a fuck about what anyone thought. In fact that was largely the point. I wanted to not gove a shit/ a fuck. But I had to come to terms with my upbringing. Not straight-laced, but where what people thought was very important. Rejecting and rebelling against that has been a perrenial challenge, to say the least, since I was about ten.
That's only half the issue though – the real one is the lack of narrative / theme.
It used to be a Ford Anglia
COUM. Schmuck.
It's Genesis P-Orridge. Schmuck magazine. 1974. COUM.
I went all the way to Bexhill-on-Sea at the weekend for the Bridget Riley The Curve Paintings 1961-2014 exhibition at the De La Warr Pavillion. That exhibition was so good that we (Emily, Sue and I) actually went to it twice on Saturday and Sunday (it was a small exhibition that hugely benefitted from being free and open-access). It was the Guardian's review that took me to the exhibition.
It just so happened that upstairs there was another exhibition entitled 'Towards an alternative history of graphic design Schmuck, POP, bRIAN, Assembling' (you can read the Guardian's review). Not sure what I was expecting but as soon as I started looking and reading, I started expecting to see mention of the (notorious?) COUM Organisation. In the context of these magazines though, they were just another 'underground' voice / agitator. And the picture of Gen? Well, he's recognisable anywhere.
Bench decorated with a garland of weeds.
First impressions of the X100T (in Verona)
Just back from a three day trip to Verona with my new X100T that I'd only had for two days when I arrived.
I'd spent those two precious days reading the manual – invaluable – to discover some very cool stuff (I always read camera manuals because they now do so much that there is always some weird stuff hidden in obscure menus / the fab stuff that you'd never learn about..). Like the fact that auto-ISO can be set up so that (when in aperture priority mode) the shutter speed drops below a certain value (in my case it's set at 1/60) the ISO is increased incrementally as the shutter speed goes down, up to a preset maximum ISO. Genius. This maybe how all auto-ISO features work, but it was news to me and as a result of reading the manual.
Having read much about the film simulation, I set it up for RAW+JPG with the Jpegs set on the much raved about Classic Chrome. This was despite the fact that before Classic Chrome came in with the T, Velvia was the go to mode…
I normally work in aperture priority mode and it was a breeze using the exposure compensation dial – through experience more than anything – to capture amazing shots. Blown highlights are a thing of the past!
I used slow flash a few times (I normally avoid flash – in fact I have avoided the obscene harshness of flash these past 30+ years). But it was a revelation (I'd read that it was good). The images are natural and non-flashy / red-eyery.
Classic Chrome? Sooooo creamy and dreamy! Whilst on my travels I exported some Classic Chrome Jpegs to my iPad and did the merest hint of tweaking in Snapseed (to fix some of my exposure compensation overzealousness) and the results are simply stunning. Straight OOTC with the X100T is amazing.
WiFi? Faultless and effortless. It's well-designed enough to enable the rapid transfer of images to an iPad / iPhone for upload to Facebook / Instagram which went down very well with my fellow travellers (and me). And I've used it a lot. In fact I've decided that my Instagram photos are only going to come from the X100T simply because it's so quick and easy.
It's small, light, unobtrusive, and easy to use when carrying an umbrella in the rain with a shoulder bag.
It's just right for, of course, carrying everywhere (why I got it) – even to breakfast.
The Q menu is so easy to use and to customise. Once I'd set it up the camera with a few global custom setups, it was fantastic – mainly to change the auto ISO thing to a higher ISO. In actual fact though, why would you not have the intelligent auto ISO thing set up for 200-3200 (1/60) as standard? It's going to cover you for most situations right? Maybe with a slower shutter speed? Maybe set a default of 200-3200 (1/30)? That's 95% of all shooting situations covered.
I used it invariably with the optical viewfinder without that really, really annoying zoomed-in-digital-corner thing (probably useful if you manual focus which I haven't tried yet).
Ultimately what I love about this little machine is that the way that it *is* (it's form-factor; its layout), is impacting how I take photographs. It's the simple way that the aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation controls are placed; the clever Q menu; the extraordinary viewfinder… It just takes me back to how I took photos in the 1980s with my OM-1. Tactile. Sensual. Engaging. Connected. Intelligent. Thoughtful. Desirable. Inspirational.

Dead roses. It's about the texture.
We get a lot of flowers in this house (mostly given – thank you!). Ok, it's (just) quite a few. And most of them are garden flowers in beautiful little posies. Guilt trip over.
Whenever we get flowers though, I photograph them with devout enthusiasm. They are of course intensely, iconically and beautifully photogenic. And a cliche.
These dead roses came from Rebecca and while they 'lasted' (a very loaded term), they remained beautiful, as you see here, for a very long time afterwards. They didn't arrive as dead roses of course.
Lasted. What does that mean? It usually means the amount of time before they are dumped to the compost bin, here though it's as long as they hang out in the kitchen – we're very slow to get rid simply because they remain a positive decoration.
Dynamic range without HDR – it's more natural
After far too long, I've started properly compensating for the way that digital works in order to get much better dynamic range, and also to have everything in the image correctly exposed – it's amazing what a difference it makes! I'm now fully acknowledging the simple film vs. digital truth: that for film we used to expose for the shadows, and for digital we expose for the highlights. I've always done this to a degree with digital – in fact my old 5D was permanently set to underexpose – but only by 1/3rd of a stop.
Underexpose to get dynamic range
With my Olympus OM-D EM-1, I'm regularly underexposing by 0.7, 1.0… 2.0 stops – and all by using the histogram and looking at the image after shooting on the camera's screen. It's all very obvious really when you see the red "IT'S OVEREXPOSED YOU DUMMY" sky flashing at you.
I've been doing it more simply because it's easier to do on the EM-1 when you can configure a wheel control to do it. I'm looking forward to the X100T arriving knowing that there's a DEDICATED control for it.
Why +/- 3 stops?
And you have to ask yourself, why would camera makers offer the ability, via a dedicated control, to under- and overexpose by +/- 3 stops if it wasn't frequently necessary to do so?
Anyway, onto the shot below. It's taken from my kitchen… through the dining / seating area… to the windows and out to the garden.
It's not necessarily a great photo – I took it to illustrate a point (and to be able to show my grandchildren how old-fashioned our kitchen was in 2015… in "the olden days"). And the point is that it's relatively easy to get a very wide dynamic range by exposing for the highlights and 'developing for the shadows'. The exact opposite of what we used to do in 35mm-land. and all without any "HDR trickery".
If you look at the EXIF data for the shot on Flickr, you can see that it was underexposed by 5 (!) stops: "Exposure Bias -5 EV" and then amongst other trickery in Lightroom, it got +5 stops of exposure compensation. That's quite a dynamic range! Yes, I know that image quality has suffered somewhat but at least it's not an 'HDR image' (urggggh!), but it works.
It looks unnatural of course because our brains are saying… Hang on a minute – that's my job… to compensate for the dynamic range discrepancy that photography can't capture which is why so many photographs are rubbish because you expect them to be as your eye saw that scene…
Have a go and let me know what you think!

Maignes syndrome comes from thoraco lumbar region to the side of thigh and groin too.
Common symptoms are often confusing and overlap with many other conditions. Groin discomfort for example occurs in many diseases; you can't simply assume that you are suffering from this upper lumbar problem.
That part between the lower spine and the midback, where you can feel the last rib, is called the thoraco lumbar region.
This condition causes lower back and buttock ache, and often upper leg and sometimes groin discomfort.
The thoraco lumbar junction syndrome, as it is sometimes called, has been thought to be responsible for up to forty percent of common LBP. This percentage is subjectively based upon Dr. Maigne's personal statistical study of 500 cases and is, in my opinion, rather high but the upper lumbars are certainly often neglected as a source of referred lower back pain.
Because Maigne's syndrome makes for a diagnostic nightmare, it is often overlooked, causing possibly years of unnecessary pain and disability. Read more from the case file found lower down.
As always, not more tests, but a thorough clinical examination is required. Is there a spinal fixation at the thoraco lumbar junction? Is the active trigger point in the quadratus lumborum really an incidental finding? Is the pain in the groin or lateral thigh from a femoral nerve lesion, maignes syndrome, hip arthritis, and so on?
Back, buttock pain and the groin too, perhaps.
Dr Robert Maigne, a French orthopaedic specialist, proposed that low back pain could in fact originate from the thoraco lumbar facet joints, mediated by the superior cluneal nerves, lumbar nerve roots 1, 2 and 3, now known as Maignes syndrome. They supply primarily the upper buttock but also sometimes the groin.
A careful examination of the sacroiliac joints, the piriformis, the hip is always in order. Pain in the buttock and groin areas can come from so many different sites. Inguinal hernia, testicular cancer, swollen lymph nodes?
Prostate cancer, the most common fatal cancer of men, should always be upper mind, and not only in the older patient. Controversy reigns in medical circles concerning the best routine examination for prostate cancer, so we at chiropractic help will stay out.
Nevertheless, prevention of all cancers but particular of the not uncommon breast and prostate cancers, is vital in chiropractic practice, because of their tendency to metastasize frequently to ribs, the spine and pelvis; areas treated on a daily basis at the chiropractic coalface. The short answer is every man shall eat a tomato a day, and avocados regularly, and women must reduce animal protein; and take hormone replacement therapy only in cases of extreme necessity.
Superior cluneal nerves supply the buttock and according to some authorities there are slips that innervate the skin in the groin area.
The dermatomal distribution of the cluneal nerves and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, LFCN.
As we shall see, a very similar syndrome originating from this region, but involving the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, lumbar 2 and 3, a branch of the femoral nerve. The syndrome has no name, so I lump it in with maignes syndrome,
though technically it's not; it causes pain and numbness on the side of
the thigh and or the groin area.
More complex, this lateral femoral cutaneous nerve may be involved in a double crush
syndrome where there is often a subluxation in the upper lumbar spine, and the nerve is crushed in the groin giving symptoms on the lateral thigh only. Then it's called meralgia paresthetica.
A syndrome simply means a collection of seemingly unrelated signs and symptoms. Buttock and LBP are typical of maignes syndrome, but groin pain perhaps, lateral hip and thigh numbness, an anterior thigh burning sensation may all be mimicked by this condition via the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
However, as I said, this is not technically Maignes syndrome.
Other conditions often causing buttock pain and affecting this area are the piriformis syndrome, a small buttock muscle through or around which the sciatic nerve must negotiate its way to the leg.
The side of the thigh is also occupied by the iliotibial band syndrome, a long band of tissue stretching from the tensor fascia lata muscle to the side of the knee.
Another condition is the femoro acetabular impingement syndrome which also can cause groin and side of the hip pain. It is characterised by stiffness in the hip, and may be found in young people.
Another is hip dysplasia; mild cases are often missed causing upper thigh and groin pain.
These lead unerringly on to premature hip arthritis if not managed carefully.
These are conditions that chiropractic excels in. Well, hip arthritis in its early to moderate stages. Thereafter it's a surgeon's work.
But, it's a highly complex area also involving medical conditions like an inguinal hernia, aneurisms in one of the iliac arteries, lymph nodes, and many others. Your chiropractor will make a careful examination of the area, and may well ask for a second medical opinion.
An aside.
To adequately diagnose and treat the myriad of conditions around the low back, buttock pain, groin and thigh really requires good teamwork. Unfortunately Chiropractors are not yet considered part of this team by the majority of the Medical community - to the detriment of the patient. This is why there is a strong move in Chiropractic to vacate the Complementary-Alternative-Medicine (CAM) camp and join the Medical community proper. This movement has its critics - they fear we could lose our identity.
Only this week I have had two new patients who have had severe disabling pain in this area for over a year. I know I can help them both, but anyway it's a relief that the medical conditions have been ruled out. But they have suffered needlessly because of the suspicion that Chiropractic is still treated with. How can I say with such confidence that I can help them? Because it's almost become bread and butter - I see these conditions on a daily basis. What's really needed is some good research ...
A bit more science!
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous nerve (LFCN)
The LFCN arises from the L2 and 3 lumbar plexus. It emerges from the lateral border of the psoas major muscle, not shown, which joins with the the iliacus, seen in the graphic above. The nerve then proceeds obliquely across
the pelvis, toward the so called ASIS, a hard bump about
15 cm above and slightly forwards from the hip bone. Read more about the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and its importance in chiropractic practice.
I increasingly begin treatment of the patient with low back pain with thoraco-lumbar adjusting. The upper lumbars are often fixated explaining why the side of hip (called the trochanteric region) is so often very painful.
Commonly, Sacro-iliac joint fixations may be associated with Maignes syndrome. Clinically, one is faced with a chicken and egg situation. Do the pelvic conditions cause the thoraco-lumbar fixations? Or do the thoraco-lumbar fixations/ subluxations cause the Sacro-iliac syndromes and lumbar pain? Mostly, your chiropractor will pay careful attention to all areas of the lower spine and pelvis.
The real cause may also be a short leg. Read more about Leg Length Inequality ...

Lumbar and buttock pain coming from the thoraco-lumbar region, Maignes Syndrome, is a notoriously difficult region to adjust. Thus you should be patient with your doctor. You may not immediately hear loud clicks, and dramatic relief of pain. Common chiropractic adjustment techniques for this low back pain may include a straight straight down adjustment (whilst lying on your tum) which can be very painful, a hyper-extension technique (sitting or standing), a lumbar roll, McManis traction, an activator technique, Thompson drop and others.
An excellent article by Dr Marc Heller, DC on the Chiropractic management of Maignes syndrome can be found at : http://www.dynamicchiropractic.com/mpacms/dc/column.php?c_id=1517/
Do you enjoy light reading? Chiropractor Bernard Preston writes excellent books about chiropractic and life. Described as "Gems, both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a Chiropractor" you will love these Chiropractic books. BERNARD PRESTON homepage.
Another less commonly known technique in the treatment of Maignes syndrome is the supine hyperextension techique. Using a standard adjusting table, the pelvic section is raised to perhaps 45 degrees. The patients sits on the pelvic section with his hands behind his neck. The doctor places his hand behind the back at the fixated segment, flexes the torso slightly, and then makes the corrective adjustment in an anterior to posterior direction.
Active trigger points will often be found in the Quadratus lumborum muscles, the TFL, the Gluteal muscles adding to the low back pain, and will be addressed by a variety of techniques.
Hip hike, and pelvic tilt exercises (especially with the hands under the involved segments) are useful, as would alternating ice and heat treatment help with the lumbar pain.
'Doctor, I have a pain here on the side of my buttock. I've been to my doctor, two physios, and another Chiropractor. I am despairing. It's getting worse. It keeps waking me throughout the night.'
'We had better start with a good examination, Mrs P. Would you slip your down to your underwear, please.'
The examination was unremarkable in many respects. All the neurological and orthopaedic tests were negative. The previous practitioners had successfully treated the lumbar spine and the pelvis. But the pain remained. A raw, gnawing pain. X-rays didn't show much of interest, but indeed a moderate curve with the apex at the thoraco lumbar junction, where we found a massive fixation. It was solid as concrete. I don't diagnose it as Maignes Syndrome until the buttock pain has been successfully cleared by the thoraco-lumbar adjustment.
Early in my career, I had the good fortune, to walk past an elderly chiropractor giving a colleague an adjustment at a chiropractic congress. I had never seen the technique before. Or since, for that matter, but I use it every day. I call it the FIST EXTENSION, simply because I know of no other name.
I've only cracked four ribs in nearly thirty years in practice. One of them was using this technique! But it's fixed hundreds of Maigne's syndrome sufferers. Fortunately, a large bouquet of flowers, and a humble letter of apology saved my bacon. I suppose in America I would have had the pants sued off me, and those hundreds of people would still be suffering because I would be too afraid to use FIST EXTENSION again!
The cost of low back pain is becoming a massive burden to society, not least of which because the enormous insurance premiums doctors have to pay. If this little understood Maignes syndrome makes up 40% of low back pain ...then no wonder we are making little progress. (personally I think 40% is over the top. That was Dr Maigne's opinion). Once you start to factor in lost time at work... If you are interested, read on about the economic burden of LOW BACK PAIN ...
Uncomfortable though the thought may be, if you are a smoker you WILL suffer from more low back pain, quite apart from the cancers associated with smoking. Strong research reveals that the lumbar arteries become furred in smokers reducing blood flow to the spine, and a strong correlation between smoking and lower back pain.
Worse, you are likely to respond poorly to both chiropractic and surgical treatment for lower back pain. Low back pain and smoking is the greatest risk factor.
This is quite an emotive subject; every doctor of any ilk is likely to be upset on hearing that you have left or greener pastures on the other side of the hill. Yet, it shouldn't be so; every chiropractor has his strengths and his weaknesses too.
You're likely to find there are chiropractors, and certainly medical doctors, who have never heard of Maignes's syndrome. I hadn't for the first twenty years of practice.
It's easiest if there are several doctors in the practice; awkward perhaps but if you know you aren't getting better, it's best to discuss with him or her, could you consult a colleague for an evaluation. Chiropractors should have a thick skin and small egos. If they haven't, well that's their problem, not yours.
So, if changing chiropractors seems sensible to you, don't hesitate.
I receive many questions about Chiropractic. It might be help with a spinal condition, but it might also be from a person who can't walk after a hip operation, or some such thing.
I will do that by answering your questions personally, but it will be converted to a Web Page so others can benefit from your questions. Omit your name if you like.
However, do understand that, in the main, I'm going to be directing you, should it be pertinent, to a Chiropractor in your neck of the woods. I'll respond to all reasonable inquiries, but please be specific, and give as much detail as you can.

Interesting challenges of the day
1. Mr S is a 76 year old man with neck pain of some 9 months duration. Luckily, most of the discomfort is upper cervical which is only rarely arthritic; his lower cervical spine is a degenerative mess that I've left alone. After seven treatments his pain and stiffness is 50 percent better, and he's happy in the circumstances. He can sleep through the night now and that makes a huge difference.
2. Mr P is 32 year old man with very severe lower back pain radiating to the big toe which is 30 percent numb. He had an episode three weeks ago, took anti inflammatories and was soon better as is typical of the medial disc herniation. But before it healed, after a trivia it came roaring back, much worse. The characteristic crossed sign was evident; sitting in a chair, straightening the right leg provoked severe left back pain and tingling in the leg. He's doing well.
3. Mrs T looked like the leaning tower of Pisa; she had a slipped disc at L5 making her lean towards the opposite side. It's called the postero lateral disc hernia; she's much better after two weeks of treatment and will go back to work next week, part time. Lateral discs are more difficult; both take a minimum of six weeks to heal. In my opinion, antalgic patients need what I call exercising bed rest. Sit and it won't get better.
4. Mr S has had lower back, groin and back of thigh and calf pain for fourth months. He has a pincer deformity in the hip causing the groin pain, and a degenerative facet causing the sciatica. Both are responding well to chiropractic and he's well pleased; sixty five percent better after three treatments.
5. Mr T is a wise man; he's taken a warning TIA seriously and has lost 15 pounds, and has at least as much again to lose. A change to a low starch diet and half hour daily walk has made the difference; but the walking is making his foot and back miserable. The expensive orthotic is hopeless; luckily his hips and back are fine, but he needs a simple heel lift.
6. I too have had serious lower back issues, luckily fixed by my own chiropractor; so I too have to do my exercises, take care when lifting supers full of honey, gardening and using the chainsaw. Regaining the function of your lower back is just as important as the pain.
7. My own granddaughter, only 7 is hypermobile giving her pelvic, knee and ankle issues. Xrays show a mildly dysplastic hip. Years ago we would have called it growing pains. She too regularly needs chiropractic care and luckily responds well. Increased range of motion is more difficult than too stiff in my opinion. Our care is for kids too.
8. This 65 year old lady is a serious gardener; every day she is bending, lifting and digging for 2 to 3 hours a day. It regularly catches her in the sacroiliac joint, so she has a treatment once a month that sorts it out. She does her lower back exercises faithfully.
9. This 88 year old lady is an inspiration; every day she is busy in the community. With a nasty scoliosis she manages very well with a chiropractic adjustment every six weeks and exercises faithfully done.
10. Mr X is a 71 year old retired man who wants to continue with maintenance care every six to eight weeks; he had suffered from two years of lower back pain when he first came a year ago. He has no discomfort now after 8 chiropractic treatments, but is aware that danger lurks.
11. Mrs C has been having severe headaches, and taking a lot of analgesics. It's a non complicated upper cervical facet syndrome, and she's doing well.
12. Mr D is a 38 old year man with chronic shoulder pain after a rotator cuff tear playing cricket. It responded well to treatment, but he knows he must do his exercises every day; for two years he couldn't sleep on that shoulder.
13. Mr D, a 71 year old man, has a severe ache in the shoulder and midback since working above his head. Trapped nerve tests are negative but he has advanced degenerative joints of Luschka; after just two treatments he is 50 percent better. Can we reach 90?
And so the day goes; chiropractors shouldn't be treating the elderly most medical sites state but that's so much bunkum.
Have a problem that's not getting better? Looking for a different slant on your pain? Want to pose a question?

Greetings, Dr B.
You helped me quite some time back with a soothing and professional response which turned out to be exactly correct. I now consult a local chiropractor. You write a superb newsletter, too.
Your own unresolved problem. Pose a question
Knowing that up to 70% of the time the correct diagnosis is made with no examination, no special tests, no xrays, but just from the history, there's a fair chance I can add some insight to your unresolved problem. But at least 30% of the time, I may be quite wrong! Give plenty of detail if you want a sensible reply.
You visited this chiropractic help site no doubt because you have a problem that is not resolving and want to know more about what chiropractors do.
The quickest and most interesting way is to read one of my ebooks of anecdotes. Described by a reader as gems, both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a chiropractor, you'll love them. Priced right at $2.99, though Kindle fiddles the price without telling me.
