Arresting Images
Travelling Exhibit from the OPP Museum
Opens: June 21, 2016Closes: December 15, 2016
This summer, the Lennox & Addington County Museum & Archives will be overrun with criminals of all sorts. But don't worry, the museum isn't being converted back into the County jail, and the police need not be called. It is all part of an exciting travelling exhibit courtesy the OPP Museum.
'Arresting Images' is an exhibit that features 100 historic mug shots from The OPP Museum's permanent collection, dating from 1886 to 1908. The exhibition provides a rare opportunity for the public to view these historical photographic portraits collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection was assembled by the Niagara Falls "Ontario Police" - precursors of today's Ontario Provincial Police.
Arresting Images highlights historical themes and social circumstances of the period addressing the subjects of crime and law enforcement as well as the emerging use of photographic portraits as a police identification tool. Represented in the collection are pickpockets, confidence men, escaped fugitives, shoplifters, horse thieves, burglars, safe blowers and others. These images are compelling, fascinating and thought-provoking.
The opening reception for the exhibit will coincide with the next edition of 'Tuesday Night at the Museum'. On June 21st at 7pm. Dave St. Onge, Curator of Canada's Penitentiary Museum, will speak on prison life in Kingston in the 19th century. The talk, entitled 'Admission & Discharge: The Early History of Federal Penitentiary Mug-shots in Canada' will also identify the practice of record keeping. Dave's talk ties in nicely with the launch of the 'Arresting Images' exhibit.
In addition, visitors to the museum throughout the summer will have the opportunity to have their own mug shots taken, no crime required. This light-hearted interactive display includes an original 'County Jail' cell that has been converted to a 'persons of interest' line-up wall. Complete with height markers and crime-boards, visitors can take selfies - or #cellfies - within the cell that can be shared on social media. Select visitor photos will also be displayed at the museum in much the same way as the real criminal mug shots found in the 'Arresting Images' exhibit.
Arresting Images is The OPP Museum's inaugural travelling exhibition. Initially launched in 2009, it received an Award of Excellence from the Ontario Museum Association for its innovative approach, exhibition design and curatorial quality. The exhibit will be showcased at the L&A County Museum & Archives until December 15th.
Local Historical Context of the 'Arresting Images' Exhibit:The building that houses the Lennox & Addington County Museum & Archives was once the County Gaol (jail). When Lennox & Addington separated from Frontenac in 1863 and Napanee was officially designated the County Town, a new courthouse and gaol were needed to properly fulfill their legislative duties. The gaol, built in 1864, operated until the Quinte Regional Detention Centre opened in 1971. The building continued to serve as the Napanee Town Police lockup until 1974. At that time, it was retrofitted for museum purposes from 1974-1976 and the Museum & Archives officially opened in their new space on October 6, 1976. the 'Arresting Images' serves as an ode to the building's past and recognizes the museum's 40th anniversary milestone.

"Sir John A. Comes to Town"
"Confederation Era Entrepreneurs"
By the 1860's, the population of the County had grown to allow Lennox and Addington to become independent and a new Court House and jail were built in the mill reserve. Napanee, at the head of the falls, became the County Town. John Stevenson, Napanee's Reeve, was also the first County Warden. Confederation, the forging together of the provinces of British North America, passed almost unnoticed in the local press. The County's First Warden became the first Speaker of the new Ontario Legislature. In the post Confederation era, Italianate styled houses began to dominate Napanee architecture. William Miller, an East Ward merchant, built a new Italianate styled house near the Court House. Proximity to the Court House and the railway station made East Street a desirable area.
Inside the houses were well furnished. In 1868 when young William T. Gibbard joined his father, John, in the business, elaborate carved sideboards became a defining product of Gibbard and Sons.
William Miller's carved game sideboard and Renaissance Revival Gibbard bedroom suite are on display in the Gibbard gallery.
"The Horse and Buggy Age"
It was also a great wheat period and a time of hearty work in the fields. The pace of farming quickened with improvements in farm machinery. New foundries, mills and manufacturing plants were built taking advantage of water power sites along the Napanee River. D.B. Stickney's Newburgh foundry built reapers and Joseph Connolly in Yarker produced a variety of ploughs. The Benjamin Wheel Manufacturing Company in Yarker produced rims and spokes for wagon and buggy wheels.
A Connolly democrat, a C.H. Finkle cutter and a Stickney reaper are featured in the Horse and Buggy Age.
The Lennox and Addington County Museum is the home of the collections of the Lennox and Addington Historical Society, founded in 1907. Artifacts are selected for their significance to the story of the county and its peoples from prehistoric times to the first tire produced at the Goodyear plant in 1990 and beyond. The rich, local history collection includes prehistoric items, furniture, textiles, clothing and accessories, toys, glass, ceramics, transportation artifacts, advertising ephemera, tools and equipment, household collectables and much, much more.The artifact inventory (estimated to be 10,000 items) is entered into an automated database.
Lennox and Addington's prehistoric origins from 7,000 B.C. to the arrival of European explorers are documented. The collection includes projectile points, axes, gouges and other tools.
The first permanent European settlement of southern Lennox and Addington occurred at the end of the 18th century. Americans who took the side of the King were displaced at the end of the American Revolution and were relocated to the Bay of Quinte. A colourful display made possible by the Toronto Branch, United Empire Loyalist Association, recreates the uniforms worn by the Royal Provincials, a militia corps raised to fight alongside the British Regulars.
A pair of pastel portraits circa 1812, an 1820's Empire desk, 1840 communion set and 1850 handwoven shawl, locally crafted chairs are among the artifacts which evoke the lives of the 'late Loyalists', the Irish and other settlers who came to Lennox and Addington.
John Gibbard, cabinetmaker, leased a mill on the canal, Napanee, in 1860. On display is a 'fish and fowl' sideboard (1872) and Renaissance Revival/East Lake style bedroom set (1878) produced by Gibbard and Son.
A generous sampling of imported mid to late nineteenth century wares reflect the taste and economic status of various families in Lennox and Addington. Notable pieces include a Podmore and Walker soup tureen with bud finial, an 1844 tea service and a pair of 1878 Bristol vases.Also in the collection are archaeological finds from the Herring Glass factory which operated in Napanee from 1881 to 1883 producing window glass. Other whimsical items made at the factory are on display.
Products of local nineteenth and early twentieth century entrepreneurs are evidence of the needs of the rural community. Among the products on view are a Herring fanning mill and cider press, an Ezra Pringle cutter, Daly Tea Company shipping boxes, Wartman Pumps, a J.C. Connolly democrat, and a Boyle and Son model cheese vat. The stitching machines, polishers and a miscellany of tools used in the Keech Harness Shop in Enterprise from 1870-1970 are also on display during the summer months.John Stevenson, the first warden of the County of Lennox and Addington, manufactured square grand and upright pianos, two of which are in the Museums collection.
Changing displays reflect the role that citizens of Lennox and Addington played in various conflicts. A special item from the Second World War is the bell from the flower-class corvette, HMCS Napanee.

Step back in time in the comfort of your own home with Lennox & Addington E-History.
The project showcases objects in museum collections in Lennox & Addington County. Invitations were extended to all museums in Lennox & Addington to share their collections through Lennox & Addington's E-History. Each contribution from a participating museum is credited. All other articles highlight the collections at the Lennox & Addington County Museum & Archives.
Museums, as depositories of material culture, collect artifacts made and used by people. Museum curators interpret artifacts to reveal the people that used them. Objects used in every day human activities define individuals and communities and influenced local, regional and world events.
Lennox & Addington's E-History is a starting point for another look at Lennox & Addington's historical story. Based on the premise that objects relating to a geographic area can reveal the historical story of that area, Lennox & Addington's E-History discusses each object in its historical context and provides links to details of the object, as well as, photographic and written sources. Object based history is a starting-point for a multi-disciplinary study of local history that interweaves with regional and national history. This approach gives us a greater appreciation of the role of material objects in human activity, the people who used them, the communities, customs and traditions they evolved.
The Lennox & Addington E-History Project was undertaken with generous financial support from the Government of Ontario, Ministry of Culture, Museums and Technology Fund, and the County of Lennox & Addington.

In 2014, Lennox & Addington County began operation of the storied Allan Macpherson House and Park, one of Lennox & Addington County's finest examples of early 19th century architecture.Built on the banks of the Napanee River in 1826, it was the first private home north of the river. It was the residence of Allan Macpherson, one of the most entrepreneurial and civic-minded citizens of early Lennox & Addington County. With a finger in many pies, Macpherson operated grist and saw mills, a distillery and a general store. He was also a post master, magistrate, Major of the Lennox Militia, land agent, pioneer of the printing press, builder of schools and establisher of the Agricultural Society. He was involved in building the toll road and rail line and helped several denominations secure land to build churches. Among the distinguished guests at the Macpherson residence were Bishop John Strachan and Sir John A. MacDonald. True to its roots, the Macpherson House has been restored to its 1830's splendor both inside and out. Events and activities will take place at the house during the summer months and for special events throughout the year.

More from Ellen…..
AZCentral: Mrs. Michelle Obama shows off her dance moves again Thursday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
And Jill Biden joins her in their road trip to talk about military families.
Ellen asked about how she and daughters Malia and Sasha handle the criticism that comes with life in the White House. "It's part of a job and that's the good thing about the campaign. It really gets you prepared for all the hard knocks that come along with making really tough decisions," said Mrs. O. "Fortunately the girls are pretty young. They're not watching the news. They're pretty much watching Disney and all that good stuff. They're fairly shielded but when they have questions we talk about it honestly. … Fortunately they have friends who don't make it an issue. I think it's been better than I would have expected."
She added that she chooses not to take in the negative comments. "There are always two worlds in politics. There is the stuff you hear on TV and it's what you feel when you go out into the country. But people are kind. They are kind to us when we go into communities. I think people know that my husband's intent is good and that we are making good progress. That's what we feel. That's the energy that we get back. You can chose to take in the negative or you take in the good stuff."

When June 2005 came we had paid 55 payment leaving a balance of 5 payments. We paid these 5 payments from July 2005 until Nov 2005. We received a letter from Citizens Bank who took over Charter One telling us we stilled owed 1700.00 for the 5 deferments. We have called them numerous times and spoke to the consumer finance dept. Which the people are very rude even to
telling me that I was a deadbeat and I was paying the money weather I liked it or not.
We have went into the branches and the reps. in the branches do not have a clue and they called the same place that we called and all they can say is the contract is for 65 months and you extended the contract 5 months.
I cannot get anywhere with these people, we do not know what to do next.
Please, we need help.

Sir Paul McCartney performed a marathon set lasting nearly three hours at the O2 arena in London, 46 years to the day since he played the first Beatles Christmas gig at the Liverpool Empire Theatre.
McCartney's only UK concert of 2009 began with Magical Mystery Tour and ended with, fittingly, The End. In between he performed solo hits, Wings songs, Sing The Changes from the recent Fireman album Electric Arguments, and a number of Beatles favourites.
McCartney paid tribute to his late wife Linda, and his former bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison.
This was McCartney's only UK show of his Good Evening Europe tour, which also took in Hamburg, Berlin, Arnhem, Paris, Cologne and Dublin. All 23,000 tickets for the London show sold out in advance.
Celebrities on the guest list for the London show are said to have included Ringo Starr, Madonna, Gary Barlow, Noel Gallagher, Chris Martin, Kate Moss, and David and Victoria Beckham.
During his performance of Live And Let Die, McCartney jokingly clutched his heart as fireworks and flames were shot upwards from the stage. He also strummed part of George Formby's Leaning On A Lamppost on a ukulele before launching into Harrison's Something.
McCartney's final concert before Christmas included the 1979 hit Wonderful Christmastime, for which the pit was filled with people wearing Santa hats and carrying candles. At the end of the concert fake snow cascaded from the venue roof as the audience left the O2.
The songs were mostly the same as those performed througout McCartney's 2009 US and European tours, with the exception of Mull Of Kintyre, for which the band was joined onstage by 18 bagpipers wearing traditional Scottish costumes.
The setlist:
- Magical Mystery Tour
- Drive My Car
- Jet
- Only Mama Knows
- Flaming Pie
- Got To Get You Into My Life
- Let Me Roll It
- Highway
- The Long And Winding Road
- (I Want To) Come Home
- My Love
- Blackbird
- Here Today
- Dance Tonight
- And I Love Her
- Eleanor Rigby
- Leaning On A Lamp Post/Something
- Mrs Vandebilt
- Sing The Changes
- Wonderful Christmastime
- Band On The Run

LDD MOC: Metal workshop
Posted 17 November 2012 - 09:55 PM
Here's my work from yesterday... a sheet metal workshop (I hope the name is right)
It took me around 10 hours to build everything.
So here is:
The exterior... it is similiar that the ones I saw,,,
...look to the interior...
...here you can see two bending machines for L-profiles, two drilling machines, a saw for sheet metal cutting... the boss giving instructions to one of the workers...
...here is also a machine for making plates, a lathe and roller machine for curved profiles and 3-wheeled forklift...
...here is the guy on welding machine, welds profiles to make the frame for door and painting ''chamber'' for painting the final products,
in this case the same door frame...
...another view...
...another view...
...and the whole section.
What do you think?
C&C are welcomed...
Oh, and if someone want's, here's the .LXF file:

I would of made it slightly bigger as the roller press should not be against the wall this would not be like that in real live.
Also they are no offices for the designers and the bosses of the company.

I like it, although where I work, the machines are mainly green or yellow.
I especially like the idea with teh door-frames; first greys, then painted. -Good stuff!
Suggestions; Install a portal crane running on rails along the roof. (mind the two columns...)
Substitute one of the forklifts for a lorry.
Superdetailing; Chairs, desks, coffee-machine, toilets, lockerroom, wastebaskets, watch, time-stamping machine, fire-extinguishing-equipment, first-aid cabinet. -Use your imagination! ;-)

I think it's happening
Comments (8)
You poor thing! I understand your fears, I faced those, too. I started bleeding a few days before my D&C but I made it to surgery before anything major happened. Do you think you can move up your D&C? What about a different provider/hospital even? If you start passing a lot of blood, I hope you can get someone to come over and sit with you in case you need assistance. Or go to the ER? It may all be fine even if you miscarry at home, many many women do that and it works out just fine.
No matter what, you will be fine! It may be scary but you will be fine.
You are in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time. I just had my D&C 2 days ago.

Long this will drag out naturally and I don't want to miss too much work. I also don't want to see what's about to come out of me. Thanks again for all your support and advice ladies. I will keep you both in my T&P for healthy babies soon :-)
Please let us know what happens, I am concerned about you!

If you have a BO and it stopped progressing..more than likely once your body figured out it wasn't growing (spotting)..your body will also start to "reverse" the process. The sac with collapse and begin to dissolve. If this is what is happening....you may pass it before your procedure. This will be clots, red/brown blood. I have had 4 miscarriages and all at different weeks. If your last measurement showed 4 wks for size....it shouldn't be a painful mc with back labor and pain. It should be just clots, spotting and blood.

BFP 8/19/12..mc#4
My thoughts are with you. I had a natural MC at 7 weeks. It was quite a bit earlier and not a BO, so I'm sure that differs somewhat. I started spotting on a Friday, Clotting pretty bad on Saturday and Sunday (baby still had a heartbeat on Sunday), then MC on Monday. It took about 2 hours. It felt like, what I assume, labor pains. They came intensely every few minutes and I had to push over the toilet. I was throwing up and had diarrhea(TMI) was sweating like a madwoman. Then I passed what I assume was the sac and felt better instantly. I have had horrible periods all my life, so it felt like the first day times 10. I bled for a week following it and was back to normal(physically).
I'm so sorry you are going through this and hope you are feeling better soon.

You are the bravest woman to go off to work facing this unknown! I had to do that for a few day, too while I started bleeding before the D&C. The thought of miscarrying at work isn't the easiest thing to grapple with. I hope it all goes down as easily as possible for you - either you make it to the D&C or the natural miscarriage is smooth and the least pain possible. You are in my thoughts.

More effort needed to reduce summer ozone19 Mar 2012
Ground level ozone causes health problems, decreases crop yields and damages the environment. Ozone levels exceeding certain targets in Europe were less frequent in summer 2011 than in any year since monitoring started in 1997. However, the long-term objective was exceeded in all EU Member States and it is likely many of them will not meet the target value, applicable as of 2010.
Twelve Member States exceeded one or more of the emission limits set by the EU National Emission Ceilings (NEC) Directive, according to recent official data for 2010 reported to the European Environment Agency (EEA). In some instances the limits were exceeded by significant amounts.
Air pollution from the 10,000 largest polluting facilities in Europe cost citizens between € 102 and 169 billion in 2009. This was one of the findings of a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) which analysed the costs of harm to health and the environment caused by air pollution. Half of the total damage cost (between € 51 and 85 billion) was caused by just 191 facilities.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) involves capturing carbon dioxide released by power stations and other industrial sources, and burying it deep underground. But in addition to keeping an important greenhouse gas (GHG) out of the atmosphere, this technology will lead to benefits and trade-offs for air pollution. A new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) describes the effects that CCS may have on emissions of some key air pollutants.
Air quality in Europe has improved between 1990 and 2009, as emissions of most pollutants have fallen, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). But there is still a lot of room for improvement, as many EU countries are expected to exceed the emissions ceilings in 2010 for at least one pollutant. In addition, concentration levels of ground-level ozone and particulate matter have remained stable over recent years despite efforts to improve air quality.
Emissions of many pollutants from transport fell in 2009. But this reduction may only be a temporary effect of the economic downturn, according to the latest annual report on transport emissions from the European Environment Agency (EEA). The Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism (TERM) explores the environmental impact of transport. For the first time, the report considers a comprehensive set of quantitative targets proposed by the European Commission's 2011 roadmap on transport.
Computer models are increasingly used for estimating air quality or forecasting changes in pollution levels. Various different models are currently used across Europe. The new FAIRMODE reference guide aims to make these models comparable, well documented and validated in order to achieve reliable results.
Emissions of almost all main air pollutants fell across the EU-27 in 2009, according to the latest annual European Union air pollutant emission inventory report compiled by the European Environment Agency (EEA). Some pollutants decreased significantly compared to the previous year, with analysis showing economic recession to be an important factor in this reduction. The drop was most evident for sulphur oxides (SOx), with emissions falling by 21 % between 2008 and 2009.
Ground-level ozone is one of the most harmful air pollutants in Europe today. A new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) shows that despite efforts to reduce ozone pollution, in 2010 levels continued to exceed the long-term objective established in EU legislation to protect human health. EU Member States will also face difficulties in meeting the target value, applicable as of 2010.
The EU-27 and its Member States must meet legally binding limits for four air pollutants set by the National Emission Ceilings Directive (NEC Directive) to protect human health and the environment. The annual status report released today by the European Environment Agency (EEA) shows that while EU-27 emissions for three air pollutants are projected to meet the ceilings, nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions for the EU-27 as a whole will exceed its ceiling by 17 %. Ten Member States expect to miss their respective NOx ceilings.
New online maps published today by the European Commission and the European Environment Agency, in close cooperation with the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research Centre, allow citizens to pinpoint the main diffuse sources of air pollution, such as transport and aviation. The new set of 32 maps shows where certain pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter are released. It complements existing data on emissions from individual industrial plants from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). The Europe-wide register aims to help Europeans actively engage in decisions affecting the environment.
Following the massive earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011, a number of explosions and fires took place at the reactor buildings of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Japan declared a state of alert and reported leaks of radioactive material. Given the magnitude and the global dimension of the disaster, Japanese authorities and the international community are following the situation very closely. A series of sources provide the public with up-to-date information on the accident's possible impacts on Europe's environment as well as radiation measurements across Europe.
Has policy improved Europe's air quality?05 Jan 2011
In recent decades, the EU has introduced a range of policies to improve air quality by controlling pollutant emissions. A new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) evaluates three key instruments and finds that they have significantly improved Europe's air quality and reduced pollution-induced health effects. There is scope for even more progress, however, if countries achieve all their binding commitments to reduce emissions.
Air pollutant emissions to exceed limits23 Sep 2010
In 2010, around half of the European Union's Member States expect to surpass one or more of the legal limits set by the National Emission Ceilings Directive (NEC Directive). The annual status report released today by the European Environment Agency (EEA) confirms that 11 countries anticipate an exceedance of their ceilings for NOx — some by more than 40 %.
The European Union air pollutant emission inventory report compiled by the European Environment Agency (EEA) shows that the EU-27 has cut sulphur oxides (SOx) emissions by 78 % since 1990. The decline was particularly sharp during the latest reporting year, falling 20 % in 2008 compared to 2007. The emissions of three ozone precursors — CO, NMVOCs and NOx — also continued the downward trend.
In 2010, around half of the European Union's Member States expect to miss one or more of the legal limits set by the National Emission Ceilings Directive. According to recent data compiled by the European Environment Agency (EEA), 11 countries expect to exceed their ceilings by significant amounts — some missing NOx targets by more than 40 %.
The European Environment Agency (EEA) is closely following the impacts of recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland, in particular assessing changes in ground-level air pollution. According to preliminary monitoring data, ground-level air quality across Europe has not deteriorated significantly as a result of the volcanic activity.
Summer ozone: record low concentrations in 200903 Mar 2010
Ozone levels in Europe during summer 2009 were among the lowest since comprehensive data reporting started in 1997.
EEA set to improve data flows for GMES12 Feb 2010
The European Environment Agency (EEA) has started coordinating data flows from ground, sea and air observations, which will be used for Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) services. Building on existing mechanisms and capacities, EEA will develop an innovative and sustainable framework to make the data accessible.
As part of their partnership combining cutting-edge technology and environmental data, Microsoft Corp and the European Environment Agency (EEA) have expanded their Eye On Earth portal. A new application, AirWatch provides information on air quality to more than 500 million people across Europe. For the first time, EEA brings together both measured and modelled data alongside citizens' observations on air quality.

- Assessment of peritrochanteric high T2 signal depending on the age and gender of the patients. [Journal Article]
- Eur J Radiol 2010 Jul; 75(1):64-6.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of peritrochanteric high T2 signal (peritrochanteric edema, peritendinitis) on routine MR imaging studies and to determine whether reporting peritrochanteric edema is always clinically relevant depending on the age and gender of the patients.We evaluated 79 consecutive bilateral hip MR images performed in our department between January 2006 and December 2006 (57 female, 22 male patients, mean age 49 years). Each study was evaluated for areas of T2 hyperintensity representing edema around the greater trochanter. Patients with a known fracture, tumor, history of radiation therapy, history of hip surgery and prothesis were excluded from the study. Patients with signal intensity alterations within the thickened gluteus medius/minimus tendons (tendinitis) or peritrochanteric bursal fluid accumulation (bursitis) were also excluded. All patients were scanned with our routine MR imaging protocol for hip imaging.In 55 of the 79 patients (70%) peritrochanteric edema was detected on MR images and 52 of these 55 patients (95%) had these changes on both hips. The median age was 56 years for the patients with peritrochanteric edema and 35.5 years for the patients without peritrochanteric edema. There was statistical significance between the median ages of the patients and a significant increased risk of peritrochanteric edema was found over 40 years of age. There was no significant difference between male and female patients.Bilateral peritrochanteric high T2 signal may be a part of the degeneration process and we suggest that it may not be necessarily reported if the clinical findings do not support greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
- MR imaging features of foot involvement in patients with psoriasis. [Journal Article]
- Eur J Radiol 2008 Sep; 67(3):521-5.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To determine alterations of the soft tissues, tendons, cartilage, joint spaces, and bones of the foot using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients with psoriasis.Clinical and MR examination of the foot was performed in 26 consecutive patients (52 ft) with psoriasis. As a control group, 10 healthy volunteers (20 ft) were also studied. Joint effusion/synovitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, retroachilles bursitis, Achilles tendonitis, soft-tissue edema, para-articular enthesophytes, bone marrow edema, sinus tarsi syndrome, enthesopathy at the Achilles attachment and at the plantar fascia attachment, plantar fasciitis, tenosynovitis, subchondral cysts, and bone erosions, joint space narrowing, subchondral signal changes, osteolysis, luxation, and sub-luxation were examined.Clinical signs and symptoms (pain and swelling) due to foot involvement were present in none of the patients while frequency of involvement was 92% (24/26) by MR imaging. The most common MR imaging findings were Achilles tendonitis (acute and peritendinitis) (57%), retrocalcaneal bursitis (50%), joint effusion/synovitis (46%), soft-tissue edema (46%), and para-articular enthesophytes (38%). The most commonly involved anatomical region was the hindfoot (73%).Our data showed that the incidence of foot involvement was very high in asymptomatic patients with psoriasis on MR imaging. Further MR studies are needed to confirm these data. We conclude that MR imaging may be of importance especially in early diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory changes in the foot.
- [Limits of palmar locking-plate osteosynthesis of unstable distal radius fractures]. [Comparative Study, English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir 2007 Feb; 39(1):34-41.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The use of locking plate systems in the treatment of distal radius fractures has increased during the last years. In the presented study our experience and results after palmar plating of dorsal dislocated distal radius fractures are analysed and presented. Besides the functional and radiological results, the potential surgical risks and the observed complications are discussed.Over a mean 15-month period, 112 consecutive patients (24 men, 88 women) with an average age of 57 years who were treated for an unstable dorsal dislocated distal radius fracture using the palmar locking-plate system could be assessed. The functional results were compared with the uninjured contralateral side. The subjective pain level was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the subjective results were assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) Score. Radiographic assessment included palmar tilt, radial inclination, and ulnar variance. The objective and subjective functional results were evaluated using the modified Mayo-Wrist Score.Functional results: extension slashed circle 53.1 degrees (84 % as compared with the uninjured side); flexion slashed circle 45.8 degrees (81 % as compared with the uninjured side); pronation slashed circle 78.7 degrees (95 % as compared with the uninjured side); supination 81.9 degrees (95 % as compared with the uninjured side); grip strength slashed circle 56 Kp (73 % as compared with the uninjured side). Radiological results: postoperative reduction/mean postoperative loss of reduction: radial inclination: slashed circle 20.4 degrees /slashed circle 0.2 degrees ; palmar tilt: slashed circle 0.2 degrees /slashed circle 3.1 degrees ; ulnar variance: 0.08 mm/slashed circle 0.42 mm. Pain values: slashed circle 2.7 points; DASH score: slashed circle 14.8 points; complications: breakage of plates 1 %, screw loosening 3 %, intraarticular screw position 2 %, delayed bone union 4 %, rupture M. extensor pollicis longus 2 %/M. flexor pollicis longus 3 %, peritendinitis extensor tendons 5 %, synovialitis flexor tendons 8 %, CTS 3 %, complex regional pain syndrome 6 %.Favourable indications for palmar locking plate osteosynthesis are A2, A3, C1 and C2 fractures with big distal fracture fragments. In these cases, additional bone grafting is not needed. In very distal fractures, multidirectional plate-systems are advantageous. Multifragmental C3 fractures show a high complication rate. Additional bone grafting for the metaphyseal defect should be considered.
- MRI and US of gluteal tendinopathy in greater trochanteric pain syndrome. [Journal Article]
- Eur Radiol 2007 Jul; 17(7):1772-83.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is commonly due to gluteus minimus or medius injury rather than trochanteric bursitis. Gluteal tendinopathy most frequently occurs in late-middle aged females. In this pictorial review the pertinent MRI and US anatomy of the gluteal tendon insertions on the greater trochanter and the adjacent bursae are reviewed. The direct (peritendinitis, tendinosis, partial and complete tear) and indirect (bursal fluid, bony changes and fatty atrophy) MRI signs of gluteal tendon injury are illustrated. The key sonographic findings of gluteal tendinopathy are also discussed.
- [Extended field-of-view sonography in Achilles tendon disease: a comparison with MR imaging]. [Comparative Study, English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Rofo 2004 May; 176(5):704-8.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
To evaluate the role of real-time extended field-of-view sonography (EFOVS) in symptomatic Achilles tendon disease in comparison with MR imaging (MRI).Twenty-three symptomatic tendons were examined by conventional grayscale sonography, EFOVS and MRI, which served as the gold standard.The median tendon thickness in MRI was 7.8 mm (IQR 3.1) and correlated significantly to the results of EFOVS (7.0 mm, IQR 2; r = 0.74, P < 0.01). In total, MRI detected 24 lesions in 18 tendons and EFOVS 21 hypoechoic lesions in 15 tendons, corresponding to a sensitivity of 87.5 % and specificity of 100 %. The additional usage of conventional grayscale sonography improved sensitivity to 95.8 %. The median distance of the largest lesion to the calcaneal tuberosity was 10.4 mm (IQR 3.4) in MRI and 8.5 mm (IQR 5.1) in EFOVS (r = 0.64; P < 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of EFOVS for the detection of a peritendinitis were 63.6 % and 66.7 %, respectively. Corresponding values for the detection of a bursitis were 68.8 % and 28.6 %. The additional usage of conventional grayscale sonography improved the specificity to 85.7 %.The combination of EFOVS and grayscale sonography has the potential to challenge MRI as the preferred imaging method in diagnosing symptomatic Achilles tendon disease, especially with respect to saving time and cost and the absence of any contraindications.
- [Achillodynia: diagnosis and treatment]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Rev Med Suisse Romande 2003 Jun; 123(6):365-7.
- Abstract
Chronic achillodynia are mostly due to ether an injury of the tendon itself (tendinosis) or to an inflammatory process occurring inside the surrounding tissues (bursitis or peritendinitis); these lesions are often seen simultaneously. The Achilles tendon plays an important role during gate (mainly during the propulsion phase), which explains its high incidence in runners, particularly those who are used to train and compete on steep slopes. The diagnosis of the condition is essentially based on medical history and examination: search for trigger factors and events, precise location of the complaints; management includes treatment of the cause, not only the consequences (pain, tissue injuries).
- MRI features of intersection syndrome of the forearm. [Journal Article]
- AJR Am J Roentgenol 2003 Nov; 181(5):1245-9.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
The purpose of this original report is to describe the MRI findings in patients with intersection syndrome of the forearm.Intersection syndrome is an overuse disorder of the dorsal distal forearm, presenting with particular symptoms and signs that may be clinically misdiagnosed. MRI can perform an important role in establishing the diagnosis. Peritendinous edema (peritendinitis) around the first and second extensor compartment tendons, extending proximally from the crossover point, is the most characteristic finding that should suggest a diagnosis of intersection syndrome. Chronic cases may be subtle and not show substantial MRI findings likely reflecting the development of a stenosing tenosynovitis.

Seventy-six patients with Achilles tendinopathies (n=86) operated between 1980 and 1995 were retrospectively evaluated at an average follow-up of 13 (5-21) years. Total or gross partial ruptures were excluded. Patients' average age at surgery was 38 (18-58) years. The majority of patients were active in competitive or recreational sports. Tendinopathies were classified in peritendinitis, tendinosis, insertional tendinopathies, and mixed forms. The surgical technique depended entirely on the pathology encountered. For 32 cases of peritendinitis, results were excellent in 26, good in four, and poor in two. For eight cases of tendinosis, results were excellent in four and good in four. For 34 cases of insertional tendinopathy, results were excellent in 22, good in four, fair in four, and poor in four. For 12 cases of mixed tendinopathies, results were excellent in ten and good in two. Forty-nine patients (52 cases) were able to return to sport at the desired level.
- Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and posterior tibialis dysfunction. [Comparative Study, Journal Article]
- Clin Orthop Relat Res 2003 Mar; (408):225-31.
- AbstractAggregator Full Text
The authors studied posterior tibialis tendons in 31 subjects with posterior tibialis tendon pain to compare clinical findings with those of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound images. All subjects received clinical, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging examinations using T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, and high resolution ultrasound using power Doppler. Forty-four tendons in 25 women and six men with a mean age 43.3 years (range, 20-73 years) were studied. Magnetic resonance imaging tendon and peritendon enhancement are associated statistically with increasing pain intensity on resistance to testing. Ultrasound tendon and peritendon flow were associated with increasing pain intensity on resistance to testing. There is no statistically significant association between magnetic resonance imaging inhomogeneity and pain intensity on resistance to testing. Clinical and ultrasound examinations positively identify peritendinitis and tendonitis but not inhomogeneity (partial tear) of the posterior tibialis tendon. The magnetic resonance imaging is a more sensitive test for posterior tibialis tendon tear than either clinical or ultrasound evaluation.

When Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenBiden reveals .45 billion loan to Amtrak Trump was wrong: Kaine is a liberal in a moderate's clothing Trump poised to betray primary supporters on immigration MORE addresses the main pro-Israel lobby on Monday, he'll be expected to deliver some tough talk on Iran, following repeated attacks against the administration's trustworthiness.
Less than a month before Obama's first official visit to Israel, Biden has been chosen to put any lingering concerns to rest. The three-day conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an annual opportunity for top U.S. and Israeli leaders to show a united front before 13,000 activists, is seen as the ideal venue.
"Vice President Biden will make clear that the support for Israel, and the U.S.-Israeli relationship, and the goal of preventing Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, is shared by both parties," said Aaron Keyak, the executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Council.
"What we'll see at AIPAC Policy Conference is despite all of the partisanship, the growing divide between Republicans and Democrats on almost every issue, both parties are going to come together in support of this one issue," Keyak said.
Josh Block, CEO and president of the Israel Project, said Biden's speech isn't aimed so much at reassuring pro-Israel Americans as it is about sending a clear signal to the rest of the world.
"It's a question of articulating so that the Iranians and others believe – and hear, again and again – that we are absolutely serious when we say that we're not going to let them get to breakout capacity, as the president has said," Block said.
"And every opportunity to articulate that point in a high profile place is a valuable opportunity … because of the critical importance of the substance of the message being delivered not to ears in the room, but to ears in Tehran."
He said the AIPAC audience was well informed of the debate around Iran.
"There have been points in which the administration tried to calibrate these sanctions in ways which moved slowed than some in Capitol Hill and in other places [would have preferred]," he said. "So articulating again in a very thorough and specific way the administration's views on this is certainly something that people would be glad to hear."
Biden's office had no comment.
Obama addressed the group in person last year, as he did in 2008 and 2011. Biden spoke in 2009, and Secretary of State Hillary ClintonHillary Rodham ClintonNavarro on Trump: 'He's unfit to be human' Ice Cube: 'I will never endorse a mothaf---a' like Trump Would internet transition have an impact on current US election? MORE in 2010.
"I have said that when it comes to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, I will take no options off the table, and I mean what I say," Obama said last year. "That includes all elements of American power: A political effort aimed at isolating Iran; a diplomatic effort to sustain our coalition and ensure that the Iranian program is monitored; an economic effort that imposes crippling sanctions; and, yes, a military effort to be prepared for any contingency."
Those words didn't stop Republicans from repeatedly questioning his commitment during the presidential election.
"Look, one thing you can know and that is if we reelect Barack ObamaBarack ObamaDems' Florida Senate primary nears its bitter end Former Obama campaign manager diagnoses Trump on air as 'psychopath' Pence: Dems' racism accusations 'sound desperate' MORE, Iran will have a nuclear weapon," Republican candidate Mitt Romney said last year. "And if we elect Mitt Romney, if you elect me as the next president, they will not have a nuclear weapon."
The issue gained renewed traction during the confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. Like Obama's pick for secretary of State, John KerryJohn KerryClinton faces decision in Trump attack strategy Watchdogs warn of 'serious' conflicts of interest for Clinton Foundation Kerry: More 'work to do' in avoiding civilian casualties in Yemen MORE, Hagel is a combat veteran who is seen as particularly wary of going to war – with an added history of controversial comments about Israeli influence on U.S. foreign policy and a preference for negotiating with Israeli foes like Iran and Hamas.
Hagel's first meeting with a foreign counterpart will be with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, proof for Keyak that the military relationship with Israel remains as strong as ever.
This week's decision by the administration and its partners to soften their demands on Iran has also raised questions in some quarters. The six parties this week offered to let Iran keep open a secretive uranium enrichment plant as long as enrichment was suspended, and to keep a small amount of enriched uranium, which Iran says it needs for medical research.
Sen. Marco RubioMarco RubioDems' Florida Senate primary nears its bitter end Would internet transition have an impact on current US election? Conway: Trump will take a look at deportation policy MORE (R-Fla.), a potential Republican front-runner in 2016, said Israeli leaders made it abundantly clear to him during his trip to Israel last week that they think the Iranians are just playing for time.
Israel "has a number of issues they're very concerned about. At the top of the list is Iran," Rubio said at a policy forum at the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy on Wednesday. "I think – and I'm not saying anything they're not saying publicly – I think they are convinced that Iran is going to move forward for a weapons program, or the capacity for weapons, and that they're using negotiations as a ploy to buy time, but that ultimately no amount of economic sanctions … is going to stop Iran from moving forward with its weapons program."
He urged Obama to use his trip to reassure Israel that "we are firmly committed to the security of our allies."
"I think, from what I've read and seen, that that is largely the message that the president will take to the region," he said. "And, if he does, then that's a positive thing."

Location: Sunflower Research
Project Number: 3060-21220-028-24
Start Date: Jul 01, 2013
End Date: Sep 30, 2017
Our approach to accomplish the overall project goals is being carried out over the course of three years. Thus far in the first two years we have completed the fine-scale genetic mapping of the hss1 mutation, verified the function of the HSS1 gene in Arabidopsis and developed plants that over-express the HSS1 and ODC2 genes. The goals for year three are to assay disease resistance in HSS1/ODC2 Arabidopsis transgenic lines, to test the function of BnHSS1, and to engineer resistance in canola using HSS1 and ODC2. This project has direct relevance to the goals and priority research needs of the Sclerotinia Initiative. The proposed studies will make significant contributions towards understanding the genetics of host resistance and directly improving crop germplasm for Sclerotinia resistance. Although the first and second year objectives have been concerned primarily with the non-crop plant A. thaliana; this has been integral to our success in mapping the HSS1 locus and our overall project goal of producing resistant canola lines. We are beginning now to evaluate HSS1/ODC2-expressing lines for disease resistance phenotypes. In the current funding request for year three, we propose to identify the functional BnHSS1 gene and verify its activity by complementation of the Arabidopsis hss1 mutant. Meanwhile, we will generate B. napus lines overexpressing HSS1 and ODC2. We have chosen to initially focus on canola as it is a crucifer with a close relationship to A. thaliana and also due to our experience with 3 transgenic manipulation of canola. In the long term, we anticipate that the results produced here will be applicable to increasing resistance in other susceptible crops including soybean, dry bean, sunflower and pulse crops.

Designing for Apple Watch
Zopim recently launched its Premium plan and one of the features I worked on was the real-time monitor. It allows chat administrators to have a quick overview on what's happening with their team, in order to manage customer satisfaction, agent performance, and nip problems in the bud.
How I got into design
Whenever I meet new friends and tell them what I do for a living, I get this question very often, "so how did you got into design?" It's hard to explain because there are so many factors: the people and things you interact with. So here's one part of the story that tickled the fire.
When I was 13, the Apple G4 desktop computer was my first experience with an Apple product. I was one of the few lucky ones to be able to access my school's "Apple lab". Ever since then, I've never look at a PC again.
In 2006, I took the opportunity to shoot a series of portraits to express my love for Apple products, titled, 'iConsume'.
"iConsume depicts the genius of apple products which have fulfilled my material desires in a way which I consume my daily necessities."
iOS 7 icon template
Having watched this video by Apple, I personally felt that the photo app icon is one of the best looking icon amongst all of the new iOS 7 default app icons, albeit the icon was irrelevant to the app itself. Inspired, I had the sudden urge to replicate the photo app icon. I took this opportunity to try using the golden ratio grid system that Apple introduced in its iOS 7 icons. Prior to this, I had never designed any icons using the golden ratio.
If it interests you, you can download the Sketch template file I've created and let me know what you think. Tweet me @madebyjw.
Joining Zopim
Critical decisions are usually hard to make, but the decision I made today is an exception. Despite having chosen to continue my second year of study at NTU, Art, Design & Media, I have left to join Zopim as a full-time Product Designer.
Marble UI Kit
Recently, I've made a switch to Sketch after using Photoshop for almost 9 years. To test the app out, I designed a UI Kit for practice. I'm impressed how quickly I can add styles to shapes and text. The ability to create art-boards and pages makes it easy for me to keep track of multiple art works in a single sketch file. Feel free to download and let me know what you think. Tweet me, @madebyjw.
