(1.) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a process of providing metallic and non-metallic prosthesis parts with layers of bioactive material, to prosthesis parts coated according to said process, and to the use of such prosthesis parts for replacing animal and human bone.
(2.) Description of the Prior Art
Abnormal changes of and accidental injuries to bones and joints are remedied and eliminated at present by replacing the defective and damaged parts by prostheses made of inanimate materials which are foreign to the body, such as, for instance, metals, metal alloys, and plastic materials.
Recently, however, it has been found that metallic prosthesis parts which are anchored within the bone by means of plastic cements or adhesives, get loose after a certain period of time. Furthermore, frequently corrosion of the implanted materials has been observed. As a result thereof, for instance, hip-joint prostheses are implanted, at present, almost exclusively in elderly patients only because implantation surgery in younger patients has to be repeated from time to time.
According to German Auslegeschrift (application published for opposition) No. 23 06 552 corrosion can be avoided by selecting a suitable implant material or by coating the metallic prosthesis parts. However, even when proceeding in this manner, the prosthesis parts which are anchored within the bone still get loose. Thus there is a need for a new implant material which adheres firmly to its implant bed without requiring anchoring by means of a bone cement. It was believed that the oxidic ceramic materials (Al2 O3) of high strength properties represent such materials. However, the assumption that such oxidic ceramic materials grow readily together with the live bone, has not proved to be true. Although bones and tissue grow and adhere to the implant material and although bone substance is found also in the hollow spaces of the pores of an implant material having a porous surface, there has not been achieved a true complete union between bone and implanted prosthesis.
Although the oxidic ceramic materials possess no bio-activity, they represent an important raw material for producing implant parts. This is due to some of their properties such as, for instance, their high stability with respect to corrosive effects in the human organism and their high resistance to abrasion. This latter property represents an important parameter for the construction of moving parts of the body such as its joints. A joint implant which consists of a combination of metal or, respectively, metal alloy, which forms the shaft of the prosthesis, and of oxidic ceramic material which forms the ball and the socket of the joint has been disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift (Published application) No. 21 34 316. However, both said prosthesis parts are not bio-active and thus render it rather difficult to effect implantation without the use of a bone cement.
Recently new materials which enter into intimate and firm connection with living bone tissue on account of their chemical composition and structure, have been developed. But these bio-active materials, for instance, bio-active glass ceramic material and bio-glass, do not have sufficiently high mechanical strength properties so that it is not possible to produce therefrom load-carrying prosthesis parts. When coating the heretofore known implant materials with such bio-active agents, it is possible to firmly anchor the same in the bone tissue without the additional use of bone cement.
Applying a layer of bio-active material to the prosthesis material according to known processes such as by spraying by the flame-spraying process or the plasma-spraying process, by dipping or by other methods, does not yield implant material of the required firmness of attachment and freedom from pores.
Furthermore, when the prosthesis material is coated in such a manner, there are encountered temperatures which, for instance, in the case of bio-active glass ceramic materials, partly destroy the cyrstallites which are responsible for growing together of the implant material and the bone tissue. To overcome this disadvantage, it was necessary to effect recrystallization of the glass ceramic material. For this purpose the coated implant part had again to be subjected to a heat treatment. However, temperatures of about 900� C. as they are required to effect recrystallization, negatively affect the properties of metallic implant parts.
It is one object of the present invention to provide a process of bio-activating prosthesis parts regardless which type of material is used for such parts, said parts being free of the disadvantages of the prior art prosthesis parts and having a satisfactory adhesive strength, being substantially free of pores, and not requiring high temperature treatment, said process yielding prosthesis parts of novel and highly advantageous properties especially of novel and advantageous surface properties.
Another object of the present invention is to provide prosthesis parts, their surfaces being of heretofore unknown quality and properties.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of using implant material as produced according to the novel process of this invention, for replacing bones and teeth and parts thereof in animals and humans.
Other objects of the present invention and advantageous features thereof will become apparent as the description proceeds.
In principle the process according to the present invention comprises the steps of
(a) first providing the prosthesis part with at least one enamel-like carrier layer compatible to the human or animal body,
(b) causing said carrier layer to attain a viscous condition,
(c) incorporating the bio-active material into the said carrier layer while in such viscous condition, and
(d) finally causing the thus bio-activated carrier layer to solidify.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention several enamel or enamel-like carrier layers of different composition and/or of different coefficient of expansion are applied to the prosthesis part. The bio-active materials can be applied to the carrier layer by spraying by means of air and/or gas under pressure. Or they can be pressed into the carrier layer by exerting mechanical pressure on the bio-active material dusted on or otherwise applied to the carrier layer.
Suitable bio-active materials are, for instance, glass ceramic materials and/or bio-glass. Preferred bio-active materials are those described, for instance, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,922,155.
The so-called bioglass is a material described, for instance, by L. L. Hench and H. A. Paschall in "Direct Chemical Bond of Bio-active Glass-Ceramic Materials to Bone and Muscle", Published in "Journ. Biomed. Mater. Res. Symposium" No. 4, 1973, pages 25 to 42.
In addition thereto, or even exclusively, there can be used the starting materials for producing such glass ceramic materials and/or bio-glass.
Preferably the bio-active coating materials are used in comminuted form. The particle size of the glass ceramic material may vary. Preferably the particle size is between about 50 μm. and about 250 μm.
Any known type of suitable prosthesis material can be used. Although not limited thereto, the following materials are mentioned:
(1) Metals, for instance:
Gold and/or platinum (see German Pat. No. 583,589);
Silver and/or tantalum (see German Pat. No. 23 26 100);
Titanium (see German Application Published For Opposition No. 21 38 881).
(2) Metal alloys, for instance:
Aluminum alloys such as Duralumin (see Ger. Publ. Appl. No. 23 59 826)
Titanium alloys (see German Published application No. 23 13 678);
Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys such as the alloy sold under the trademark Vitallium (see also German Published application No. 23 13 678) by the firm Howmedico;
Chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloys (see German Published application No. 23 13 678);
Cobalt-nickel-chromium alloys (see German Published application No. 23 13 678).
(3) Oxidic ceramic material, such as
Sintered aluminum oxide (German Published application No. 21 34 316);
Zirconium dioxide and/or titanium dioxide (see German Published application No. 23 18 459).
(4) Pyrolytic carbon, such as
Graphite (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,526,005).
Of course, any known prosthesis material as used heretofore can be improved according to the present invention. Combinations of such materials, for instance, of a prosthesis core of metal and/or metal alloys and of a prosthesis casing or shell of oxidic ceramic material and/or pyrolytic carbon and others, can also be employed.
Reference is also made to the book on "Metallische Implantate in der Knochenchirurgie" [in translation: Metallic Implants In Bone Surgery] by E. Frank and H. Zitter, published by Springer, Vienna 1971.
Numerous enamel materials compatible with the human or animal body can be employed as carrier material. Enamels as described in German Application Published for Opposition No. 12 91 597 have proved to be especially useful. See also the enamels as described in the publication of the Borax Consolidated Ltd., London (1965) on "Enamels". Of course, lead oxide and other oxides or components which are harmful to the human or animal body should not be present in the carrier enamel layer. B2 O3 and Li2 O should be present not more than 5% by weight.
The depth of penetration of the bio-active material into the carrier layer can be varied by varying the pressure employed for spraying the same onto the carrier layer and/or by varying the viscosity of the carrier layer. The carrier layer may be applied to the prosthesis part by processes known in enamelling technology. The bio-active material can be introduced into the carrier layer at the same time while the enamel carrier layer has not completely solidified.
It is also possible to apply the carrier layer to the prosthesis parts by means of the flame-spraying process or the plasma-spraying process and to introduce the bio-active material into the carrier layer at the same time while not yet solidified.
The carrier layer alone can also be applied to the prosthesis parts by the conventional processes as employed in enamel technology or by flame-spraying or by plasma-spraying. The prosthesis part provided with the carrier layer is heated subsequently so as to convert the carrier layer into a fluid layer of the viscosity required for incorporating the bio-active material.
The required viscosity of the carrier layer can also be attained by heating the prosthesis part with the enamel layer by means of a flame and/or by radiation, by placing both in a heating oven, by induction heating, or by passing the electric current directly therethrough.
The surface of the solidified carrier layer with the bio-active material incorporated thereinto can subsequently be ground and/or polished.
A prosthesis part produced according to the present invention is distinguished over heretofore known prosthesis parts by being provided with at least one enamel or enamel-like carrier layer which is compatible to the body and wherein the bio-active material is wholly or partly embedded. In a specific embodiment of the present invention the bio-active material particles protrude from the surface of the carrier layer while in another embodiment the surface of the carrier layer with the bio-active material embedded therein is smoothly ground and/or polished.
Examples of prosthesis parts obtained according to the present invention are diagrammatically illustrated in the attached drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a prosthesis part coated according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of such a prosthesis part with a polished surface; and
FIG. 3 is a top view of the surface illustrated in FIG. 2.
As stated above, the prosthesis part 10 as shown in FIG. 1 can be made of a suitable metal, of oxidic ceramic material or of other materials. Its surface is cleaned and pretreated in a manner known per se so that a substantially clean surface as provided. The carrier layer 11 is then applied to the thus pretreated surface of the prosthesis part by enamelling procedures as they are known to the art. Said carrier layer consists of a non-toxic enamel or enamel-like material which is compatible to tbe body.
As mentioned hereinabove, preferred enamel or enamel-like materials are those described in German Application Published For Opposition No. 12 91 597, wherein it is disclosed in which manner its composition can be adjusted to any type of metallic base and to meet any desired requirements regarding corrosion resistance, adhesive strength, and coefficient of expansion. The composition of the enamel layer is not an object of the present invention.
As explained hereinabove, all the known processes of applying enamel compositions to a base, for instance, the wet process, the dry process, the electrophoretic process, the flame-spraying process, or the plasma-spraying process can be used for enamelling the prosthesis parts. The carrier layer 11 may be applied as a single layer; but it may also be applied in several layers which may be of different composition and thus may have different coefficients of expansion.
The bio-active material 12 which, for instance, is in comminuted form, is incorporated into the carrier layer 11 while said layer is still in soft condition, for instance, by spraying it thereon by means of an air and/or gas blast.
The depth to which the individual particles of the bio-active material 12 penetrate into the enamel layer depends on the viscosity of said layer 11. Additionally it can be varied by varying the pressure of the gas and/or air blast. The thickness of the bio-active layer is regulated by the amount of bio-active material 12 which is carried along by the air and/or gas blast. Said amounts of bio-active material can be varied so that they increase progressively from the interior of the carrier layer towards its surface by automatically regulating the air and/or gas blast and the amount of the bio-active material supplied.
Of course, the bio-active material 12 can be introduced into and/or upon the carrier layer by means of other processes, for instance, by pressing the bio-active material 12 into the enamelled layer by means of a mold fitting the prosthesis working piece.
It is understood that the bio-active material 12 need not be introduced into the carrier layer 11 according to the above described processes simultaneously with and/or directly subsequently to the application of said carrier layer 11. Working piece 10 can first be coated with the enamel carrier layer 11 and can be treated in a subsequent step of operation at any desired time so as to apply thereto the bio-active material 12.
In order to proceed in the last mentioned manner it is necessary that the prosthesis working piece 10 coated with a carrier layer 11 is subjected subsequently to such a heat treatment that a viscous state of a viscosity permitting incorporation of the bio-active material is imparted to the carrier layer 11.
Reheating of the enamel-coated working piece can be effected, for instance, by an open flame and/or heat radiation or by placing it in a heating oven, and, in the case of metallic prosthesis working pieces, by induction heating and/or by passing an electric current directly therethrough.
The advantages of the novel process according to the present invention are to be seen in the use of methods which are well known to the art and can be controlled readily in accordance with known manufacturing techniques.
In contrast to the known multi-layer coating process in which the individual layers are superposed and in which each layer per se forms a completely or almost completely self-contained layer, the bio-active material is incorporated according to the process of the present invention into the carrier layer in such a manner that the bio-active particles are completely and/or partly embedded in the carrier layer and that they also adhere to the surface of said layer. As a result thereof the prosthesis working piece grows readily together with the body tissue even if the layer of bio-active material is not a completely continuous layer. Since the carrier layer covers the prosthesis working piece completely, the material for the prosthesis can be selected, for instance, solely according to the required strength.
The embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 1 in which the enamel layer is coated with particles of bio-active material which partly protrude from the carrier layer has the advantage that a very large surface is formed and that, for instance, the bone tissue can readily grow unto said surface.
However, under certain conditions of use, it can be of advantage that the coated prosthesis working piece is provided with a smooth surface. In this case the surface of bio-active material coated prosthesis parts can be ground and/or polished as this is illustrated in FIG. 2. The smooth surface of such a coated prosthesis working piece is provided, depending on the density of the bio-active material particles incorporated into the enamel layer, with a multitude of elementary areas of bio-active material on which growing together of the prosthesis with the body tissue can take place. FIG. 3 illustrates the smooth surface in which the bio-active particles are shown.
The following examples serve to illustrate the present invention and more particularly suitable compositions of the prosthesis, the enamel layer, and the bio-active material without, however, limiting the same thereto.
A hip-thigh joint prosthesis according to the present invention is produced by first enamelling suitably shaped pieces of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy by any of the known enamelling methods with the following enamel composition, in parts by weight:
______________________________________Silicon dioxide (SiO2) 61.0Boron trioxide (B2 03) 4.7Lithium oxide (Li2 0) 0.9Sodium oxide (Na2 0) 16.7Magnesium oxide (MgO) 4.7Titanium dioxide (TiO2) 10.8Cryolite (Na3 A1F6) 1.2______________________________________
After providing the prosthesis core part with an enamel layer of about 0.3 mm. thickness, the resulting enamelled prosthesis is heated to a temperature of about 680� C., whereby the enamel layer becomes of softened viscous consistency.
A bio-active material of the following composition, in weight %, is finely comminuted to a particle size between about 100 μm. and about 175 μm:
______________________________________Component a b c d e f g______________________________________SiO2 46.2 43.0 43.0 43.0 46.0 45.0 43.0Ca3 (PO4)2 25.5 21.0 21.0 21.0 -- -- 21.0Ca(PO3)2 -- -- -- -- 13.4 13.9 --CaO 20.2 15.0 11.8 11.0 18.6 1.1 10.0MgO 2.9 8.0 11.5 11.5 11.5 30.0 10.5Na2 O 4.8 12.0 5.9 5.7 5.7 5.0 5.7K2 O 0.4 1.0 6.8 6.8 3.8 5.0 6.8CaF2 -- -- -- 1.0 1.0 -- 2.0______________________________________
The particles of bio-active material are then sprayed upon the softened, viscous enamel layer of the prosthesis so that they penetrate into said layer and are incorporated thereinto. Some of the particles protrude to a certain extent from the surface of the prosthesis as shown in FIG. 1. After cooling and solidifying the enamel layer the resultant prosthesis is finely ground and polished to yield a smooth surface as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The resulting prosthesis is implanted surgically into the patient and readily grows into the hip and other bone tissue. Such prostheses have proved to replace joints which are diseased or which are painful, such as the hip joint, the elbow joint, the shoulder joint, or finger joints. For instance, the head, neck, and part of the shaft of the femur may be replaced by arthroplasty by the correspondingly shaped prosthesis parts according to the present invention. The crushed lower part of a humerus, i.e. the upper bone in the elbow or the upper part of the humerus connecting to the shoulder have also been surgically replaced successfully by correspondingly shaped prosthesis parts according to the present invention.
Of course, many changes and variations in the composition of the bio-active material, the enamel carrier layer, and the prosthesis core material, in the manner in which the prosthesis core material is enamelled and the bio-active material is incorporated into the enamel carrier layer, and the like may be made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the principles set forth herein and in the claims annexed hereto.

my mother has a property that has been place for sale and has been in foreclosure for about a year. on august of this year a final judment of foreclosure has been set and her property was sold today and the plaintiff has bought the property again. no bid has been giving after he bid. my mother is very sad that the plaintiff at the time that she was doing a modification continue with final sale. she wants to file a motion to object the sale and stay in the property until she can renegotiate with the mortgage lender . can someone give us a good advise she has no money to hire an attorney and seek proffesional counseling.. we know she has 10 days to file a motion.. please help us with a good advise how she can proceed. Thank you!!
Here are some Quick Facts about Foreclosure in Florida:
Judicial Foreclosure Available: Yes
Non-Judicial Foreclosure Available: No
Primary Security Instruments: Mortgage
Timeline: Typically 180 days
Right of Redemption: Yes
Deficiency Judgments Allowed: Yes
In Florida, all mortgages are foreclosed in equity. In a mortgage foreclosure action, the court severs, for separate trial, all counterclaims against the foreclosing lender. The foreclosure claim shall, if tried, be tried to the court without a jury.
The court order of foreclosure will specify how the foreclosure must take place, and the foreclosure must take place on those terms. Whenever a legal advertisement, publication, or notice relating to a foreclosure proceeding is required to be placed in a newspaper, it is the responsibility of the lender or their representative to place such advertisement, publication, or notice.
Equitable Right of Redemption ends at the foreclosure sale (or at another time specified by the courts, but this rarely happens). There is a period of time after the sale that "the court reviews the sale to ensure a fair price has been paid." Basically, this period of time allows parties to object to the sale on the basis that proper procedures were not followed or collusion existed between the bidders, for example. This period is usually 10 days, after which the Certificate of Sale is filed and title passes, if the sale is confirmed. If the sale is not confirmed, another sale is ordered. (Reference F.S. Chapter 702)
The lender may sue to obtain a deficiency judgment in Florida.

I am very sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately, homeowners have to defend the foreclosure at the same time they try to work out a modification with the bank. If your mother is really interested in seeking legal counsel, she needs to speak with an attorney directly to see if there are grounds for a motion. The best time to hire an attorney is at the beginning of the action, when you are first served the complaint, so that the lawyer can file an answer asserting every defense available, and negotiate with the plaintiff. There are many foreclosure defense attorneys in the area that offer free consultations and charge affordable rates.
Best of luck to your mother.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
A few weeks ago, I threw together some numbers and statistics suggesting that the French protesters might not be so misguided, and France-style labor protections might not cause high unemployment after all. Now David Howell and John Schmitt of EPI have a new paper getting into this in more depth.
The super-novel point here is that France's youth unemployment-to-population ratio (8.6) is actually nearly identical to that in the United States (8.3). France's "official" youth unemployment rate is higher primarily because very few French students enrolled in school actually work, while a lot of our college kids get jobs, so the ratio of unemployed youths to working youths is higher in France than it is here. Different numbers measure different things.
Now why do so few French high school and college students work? Maybe it's because they can't find jobs. Or maybe it's because they don't need totheir public universities are more heavily subsidized, after all. Interestingly, though, the percentage of 20 to 24-year-olds who aren't in school and are unemployed is actually a bit lower (14.1) than it is in the United States (14.4). That seems like the main number to worry about, and France seems to be doing okay on that front.
It's also worth noting that the share of young French adults still enrolled in education is much higher than it is in the United States (51.1 versus 35.0 percent). Again, whether that's because French kids like school or because they have no other options is up in the air. But even if it's because they have no other options, perhaps being "forced" to stay in school isn't so bad: According to OECD data, French workers are, on average, 6 to 16 percent more productive than American workers. Work less; study moremaybe that's the way to go.

@mtnrunnerLocale: Utah
I was planning a trip into the Winds the third week of July. However with the mild winter we had this year I'm thinking of bumping it up to the first week of July. We are going in from Big Sandy and doing a loop taking in Texas Pass/Grave Lake/Haily Pass and some possible off route stuff thrown in. Anyone know what the conditions are like? From what I can gather the Winds have had anywhere from 55-70% of normal snow pack this year. I'm guessing the first week of July will be good to go this year.
@mtnrunnerLocale: Utah
Here is the info I have been able to scrape together. As near as I can tell from poking around on the web the Winds are over a month ahead of schedule for melting out. Earlier this winter looks like the Winds snow pack was about 70% of average. Also from what I have gathered the snow pack dropped pretty fast this spring and for May it had dropped to around 55-60% of normal. Anyone have any additional or more accurate info?
Call the Great Outdoors Shop in Pinedale. They are good people and should know the scoop.

Synopsis for "Whodunnit?"
The Question, Myra Fermin and Harry run from their car as the Huns attack. They leave the stabbed gang leader, Loosh, in the car to be discovered by the Huns. They escape into the sewer system and Myra and Harry run ahead. Vic takes down a few Huns who have followed them underground. He locates an exit and emerges through a manhole only to find the remaining Huns, guns drawn, waiting for him. He is taken captive along with Myra and Harry.
The Question convinces the Huns to take Loosh to the hospital. At the hospital, The Huns make a deal with Vic -- bring them Benjy Floper (the gang leader who stabbed Loosh) and they won't hurt Myra.
The Question goes out into the night and asks Lady Shiva for help, but their is no answer. He then walks alone to the Ghosts' hideout to confront the gang members. While fighting it out with them, Shiva arrives and lends a hand. Once they have finished with the Ghosts, Vic gets Benjy Flopper and they head back to the hospital.
At the hospital, Myra and the doctor manage to knock out the Huns with Ether and Pentathol. Vic arrives and they send Loosh's body out as a "John Doe," to be given a pauper's burial. Vic and Harry go visit the grave and Vic reveals that he knows that Harry killed Loosh. He tells Harry now he will have to live with what he has done and will have to administer his own punishment.

its time to move on
moving on is a difficult time in anybodies life especially for this young man he needs something to fall back on but lands firmly on the ground every time he gets back up and tries again but he cant move on no matter what he wont give up never!
moving on from you feels like it is an impossible task,
why is it that no matter how hard i try...
i cant seem to get what i set out to achieve.
seeing others accomplish what seems to be a simple task for them,
grinds at me and grinds at me every single day,
i manage to soldier on.
this is the part when i really need help to carry on,
a huge part of me wants to move on away from you,
but you might not realise it but... youve got me where you want me,
you know how to upset me,
how too make me happy,
but worst of all you dont realise how this is affecting us both as individuals.
this may not be the best poem of my works but at least it tells our story in a sense that for some reason we remain with each other despite the bickering and persistant fall outs we have is this no telling us something?
maybe the day you found out was the worst thing that could have happened or maybe it will turn out to be the best thing that ever happened but who knows maybe we will move on from this and be happy as individuals but there is one thing that i request you do remember me and keep in touch.

Insanity Be Thy NameMature
A loud screech filled the streets. Green streaks flashed by house and home. People could only see the wording on the side of the vehicle, The Party Van. The driver, a tall man with black hair and the passenger, muscular with lavender hair talked about their current situation.
"Chaos, don't you think you're driving a little too fast," the passenger said as they rounded a turn. He held his breath as the van started to travel on two wheels.
"This isn't fast enough! The bloody guy needs to go to the therapist!" said Chaos as he righted the vehicle back on four wheels. "I have had enough of his constant hijinks, Core! You, of all people, should understand this by now!"
A voice came from the back of the van. "Heh, he said 'the rapist." The voice was then muffled and sounds of struggle could be heard afterwards. It would seem to anyone else that this was a kidnapping. If only it were that easy.
Core looked at a map of the town. "Turn left at the next light then go forward for five more blocks," he instructed. None of them knew where to go. Chaos just suddenly snapped and threw them all in the party van. Core wondered if Chaos even knew where he was going.
Therapist.. This wasn't going to go well.
Chaos turned harshly yet again. "Are you sure that you are looking at that map correctly," Chaos growled. His temper was reaching an all time high. If anything were to happen now then he wouldn't be stopped. He could feel it though. They were close.
Core looked back at the map and instantly shouted, "Turn right, now!"
Everyone in the room was quiet. No one seemed to want anything to do with one another. The man in the center of the circle of chairs looked at his watch. "Ah, our next patient will be here in 3 seconds," said the man.
Suddenly a loud crashing noise could be heard outside. Something must have crashed into the building. Afterwards there was the sound of people running. The footsteps crept closer and closer until the door to the room was kicked open. Three young males threw another young man into the room. "He's your problem now! Let's go," said a man with black hair. They left just as quickly as they came.
"I'm okay," said the man who was left behind. He scratched his shaggy, dark red hair with his foot. After satisfying his itch, the man jumped into the air and said, "Hi everyone! I'm Boco!"
The man in the center of the room stood up and asked for Boco to take a seat. Boco obliged and sat in the chair next to the only other guy there. Though now, he was sitting upside-down with his head to the ground and his feet in the air. Boco proceeded to pull a lollipop from his jacket pocket and started nibbling on it.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from the family living in Leicester, in Leicestershire. Leicester is the capital of the county and its name is derived from the Old English element ceaster, which meant "Roman town."
layster Early Origins
Cheshire at Leycester, more commonly known as Leicester, a city now in the unitary authority area in the East Midlands. The first record of the place name was found in the early 10th century as "Ligera ceater" but by the Domesday Book of 1086 the place name had evolved to Ledecestre. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) Literally the place name means "Roman town of the people called Ligore," having derived from the Tribal name + the Old English word "ceater." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) As far as the surname is concerned, the family are "descended from Sir Nicholas Leycester, who acquired the manor of Nether-Tabley in marriage, and died in 1295." [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Shirley, Evelyn Philip, The Noble and Gentle Men of England; The Arms and Descents. Westminster: John Bower Nichols and Sons, 1866, Print.
layster Spelling Variations
layster Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name layster include Leycester, Leicester, Leister, Lester and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name layster or a variant listed above: John Leicester, who settled in Virginia in 1732; Peter Leicester settled in Pennsylvania in 1682; James Lester settled in Virginia in 1637; George Lester settled in Charles Town, South Carolina, in 1767.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Pro rege et patria
Motto Translation: For King and country.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Cold Equations: Silent Weapons: Book Two (edition 2012)
by David Mack
Work details
The Persistence of Memory by David Mack
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I registered a book at BookCrossing.com!
The much-anticipated return of a much-beloved TNG character is the main reason why you want to read this book. Mack has created a very interesting way to achieve this in Book 1. Most of the book is written from Noonian Soong's perspective, which was actually really interesting. At first I thought I wouldn't like it, but Mack does it (as one would imagine) really, really well.
A thriller, about the origins of all soong type androids, multiple kidnappings, the desperation of a father to give his son life. A story of mystery and espionage that will keep you thrilled to the end.

I sighed then as I hoped that she wasn't going to have to learn the lesson in quite the same way. I couldn't watch Mark hurt Charlotte, I would rather die. Unless this was actually the plan and Mark's newest game to mess with my head. Maybe Charlotte wasn't trapped here by chance and Mark had sent her. Maybe Charlotte was the thing going to drive me over the edge; the final torture. I leapt back with a small cry, actually believing my own paranoia.
"Simon?" Charlotte frowned as I cowered away from her. "I am not going to hurt you baby."
'Mark's best friend'. The voice in my head hissed the warning and I shrank back further. "You are the final nail in my coffin." I murmured in the end and she stared at me in a stunned silence. "You were sent!"
Charlotte shook her head gently, her dark hair wafting with the movement. "Why would he send me?"
My arguments faltered in my head and I blurted out the first thing I thought of which was, "because you are the one thing that I love enough to die for!"
I staggered back, my hand clamped over my mouth. "I didn't mean... Oh, God Charlotte I..." My voice trailed away and I looked down rather than meet her green eyes. I looked up after a few moments of silence out of curiosity but she hadn't moved from her position. She was just staring at me although her expression did not give away her thoughts. I shuffled my feet, squirming a little under her steady gaze. "Charlotte? Are you all right?"
Charlotte just inclined her head slightly in reply and kept her eyes locked to mine. "What did you mean by that?"
I stared at her dumbly, wishing something about her expression would tell me what she wanted to hear. "I mean that you... Well, that is that I?" I sighed and decided now I would have to come clean and reveal my feelings. I turned away before speaking very quickly. "Charlotte I have always had a bit of a soft spot for you and I would do anything to keep you safe." I sat down heavily on the floor as I thought this through. "Except I brought you here and now... And now I am what has put you in this danger." I lay my head on my knees. "I have failed again; I really am good for nothing."
Charlotte crossed the room and sat next to me. "Si, look at me." I looked into her green eyes and she put a hand on my cheek to hold the eye contact. "Mark knows nothing about your soft spot, trust me. How could he know something that even I had no clue about? I wish I had known that a while ago Simon but... Oh, never mind. Look as for failing I don't see me being here with you as a failure." Her fingers stroked gently at my skin and she smiled softly. "You need someone to share this with and baby I am happy to be that someone."
I felt confused by that, why would she want to share pain? Was it simply because she was the only thing between me and my brother? I stared at her and bit my lip in frustration as her thoughts remained a secret from me. I was still slightly scared about the possibility that Charlotte was sent here. Was she toying with my emotions now? Building me up before a fall so to speak?
"You are shaking." She said, continuing to stroke my cheek. "I am not here to hurt you and he did not send me." Charlot let her hand drop in order to grab mine so that she could hold it to her chest. "Cross my heart." She muttered as she moved her other hand to clasp at my wrist.
I just stared at her as I felt that steady heart beat underneath my fingers. I believed her but then you would believe one who spoke with such sincerity. If she was here as some kind of spy I almost welcomed it. Somehow the pain she would cause was justified by the contact. "I believe you Charlotte." I whispered, feeling myself relax against her grip on my wrist. "I honestly do." I didn't quite believe her yet and I wasn't sure what she could do to convince me.
"Good." She stated simply as she drew me into a hug. I winced slightly as her arms tightened around me. She instantly loosened her hold. "Sorry Si."
"What the fuck do you two think you are doing?" Mark's angry voice made us spring apart guiltily and turn to face him.

Casting your vote in the local council elections
How and where to cast your vote in your local council elections on April 28 in the South-east.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Queenslanders once again take to the polls on Saturday April 28 to vote in the local council elections.
Voting is compulsory for all eligible citizens, so if you've missed the memo - here's some important things to note ahead of casting your vote:
The mayoral candidates:
Brisbane City: Five candidates will contest the Brisbane City Council local elections to become Lord Mayor, including incumbent Lord Mayor Graham Quirk.
In ballot paper order: Roy Killen, Andrew Bartlett, Ray Smith (ALP), Chris Carson and Graham Quirk (LNP).
Listen to the Brisbane City candidates from the Lord Mayoral Forum at the Drive Blog.
Ipswich City: Incumbent Cnr Paul Pisasale is re-standing for the mayorality.
He says his experience serving the City of Ipswich as mayor since 2004 and "proven track record" make him a good candidate for re-election.
Mr Pisasale lists his ability to show leadership at all levels of government, and develop partnerships with the community, and at state and federal government levels as "qualities you need in creating opportunity" for Ipswich.
"It's not about a title - it's a position. I want to show people I've got the responsibility and the skills to be a great mayor but also one of the best leaders this city has ever had.
Peter Luxton will stand against Cnr Pisasale for the leadership.
"I want people to vote for me because I have a six-point plan for Ipswich.
Mr Luxton is pledging the following as his six point plan that will "revive Ipswich."
1. New Libraries at Rosewood and Springwood
2. Restoration of Ipswich City Centre (Festival Hall and the Ipswich Railway station.)
3. Lower public transport costs
4. Creation of local jobs for small business
5. Stop development on flood plains, improving the emergency response plan.
6. Environmental protection: No coal seam gas extraction or coal mining expansion in the region.
Moreton Bay:
Six candidates will contest the mayoralty in the Moreton Bay Regional council election.
In ballot paper order the candidates are: Ian Bell, John Hall, Ivan Hall, Allan Sutherland (incumbent), Chris Whiting and Greg Chapman.
Mr Bell says the council region has lost it's image and he can take the region back to "grassroots" leadership.
"We need to get back and talk to the people and I'm qualified to do that."
Mr John Hall says he's running for mayor to re-establish trust between ratepayers and councillors.
"I'm seeking to show some care for our people and budgeting accordingly to cover the services - not at a cost to our ratepayers."
Mr Ivan Hall says he'd restore sound financial management to the Moreton Bay Regional council if he was elected as mayor.
"I propose to re-direct the money into providing the services that the community require."
Incumbent mayor Allan Sutherland says the council, under his leadership, has cut costs - containing rate rises to less than CPI.
"My promise is to cap rates, and once again retain our water rebate and I will work closely with our new state government."
Cnr Chris Whiting says he will aim to achieve 3 things as mayor of Moreton Bay Regional Council.
1. Better council services
2. More say in your council
3. A return to an open and honest transparent council.
Greg Chapman says residents should vote for him because he will look after the community.
"We must look after the basic services for people."
Redlands City: Cnr Melva Hobson is re-standing in the local government elections for Redlands City Council.
Cnr Hobson says she has a five-fold commitment to voters in the Redlands.
"I do not support extending the urban footprint, I want to see the revitalisation of Cleveland.
Cnr Hobson says she is committed to "ensuring the financial sustainability" of the council.
"We are a low debt council and considered one of the best in South-east Queensland for financial management."
Cnr Hobson's competition for the mayoralty is Cnr Karen Williams.
Cnr Williams says Redlands city needs a fresh start, and she's the candidate to take it "back to basics."
"Capping rates, abolishing tip fees, slashing red tape and working closely with our business to establish a future for our kids and our city.
Cnr Williams says she is determined to lead a council that "has a planned, sensible and sensitive approach to residents, ratepayers and our environment."
Scenic Rim:
The Scenic Rim has four candidates running for mayor.
Challenging incumbent John Brent, who is standing for his second term, for the mayoralty is Wendy Creighton, Derek Swanborough and Joy Drescher.
Cnr Brent says his track record as mayor proves he has what it takes to lead a second term.
"We've been able to work through the amalgamation process - we've been able to turn the council around from being financially weak to financially strong.
Wendy Creighton says a vote for her is a vote for a fair deal.
"A vote for me is a vote for my absolute committment to keep rates at CPI or lower, to tackling the basic necessities like fixing our roads and to returning our services back to an acceptable standard."
Derek Swanborough says he will lead the council to serve the community.
"I have a common sense plan to address the many challenges we face."
Former mayor of Beaudesert Joy Drescher says as mayor she'll improve business, tourism and roads.
Where to cast your vote:
Polling booths are open from 8am to 6pm on April 28 in the following locations.
Brisbane City, Ipswich City, Moreton Bay, Redland City, Scenic Rim.
For more information on all the candidates contesting local council positions visit the Electoral Commission Queensland website.

A Statement by the House of Bishops of the General Synod of the Church of England, December 1991
The Church of England's response to Lambeth 1.10
Issues was published in response to the 1988 Lambeth Conference call for all bishops of the Anglican Communion to undertake a 'deep and dispassionate study of the question of homosexuality (Resolution 64) URL.
Its purpose, stated in the Preface, was 'to promote an educational process as a result of which Christians may become both more informed about and understanding of certain human realities.'
If Issues had been used for prayerful study and reflection as Archbishop George Carey wrote in the Preface, it might have served a useful purpose, although from the perspective of LGBT Christians, it was a conservative document which failed to reflect our wisdom and experience. However, the Archbishop turned it into a policy document without the authority of General Synod and it continues to be cited as the policy of the Church of England together with the Lambeth Conference 1998 Resolution 1.10.
The Statement concludes by returning to '[T]he predicament of the conscientious Christian homophile'(which) 'raises complex issues.' Changing Attitude believes that the presence of LGBT in creation raises in reverse complex issues for the Church, issues which the Church of England has shown itself reluctant to encounter.
Issues in Human Sexuality was a deeply flawed document when published and Changing Attitude believes that it fails to reflect the theology and Christian witness of the majority of LGBT Christians and should be consigned to history.
The crux of the matter for the Statement is whether sexual behaviour is holy in itself and conducive to growth in holiness. It defines holiness as whatever will be in accord with the spirit of Christ and promotes Christlikeness. (Para 2.26) The greater the degree of personal intimacy, the greater should be the degree of personal commitment. (Para 3.2)
Changing Attitude believes in the Statement's ideal of an integrated human personality where body, feelings, mind and spirit work fully together. (Para 4.18) It assumes that lesbian and gay people are unable to achieve this degree of integration. The bishops think that there has to be a harmony between the physical and spiritual which same-sex couples are incapable of achieving. The broad experience of Changing Attitude shows that same-sex couples can achieve profound levels of physical and spiritual harmony.
Fundamental principles
The final chapter addresses the homosexuality in the life of the Church. It sets out two fundamental principles:
"[H]omophile orientation and its expression in sexual activity do not constitute a parallel and alternative form of human sexuality as complete within the terms of the created order as the heterosexual."
"Heterosexuality and homosexuality are not equally congruous with the observed order of creation or with the insights of revelation as the Church engages with these in the light of her pastoral ministry."
Changing Attitude finds both of these fundamental principles wanting. It is no surprise that the conclusions drawn by Issues from this starting point are false, contrary to the claim in the Statement that the argument that personal identity is fundamentally bound up with sexuality is false. Issues in Human Sexuality does not give equal worth and dignity to LGBT people not accept that we are made in the image of God.
Conclusions drawn by Issues in Human Sexuality:
The ideal for lesbian and gay Christians is abstinence and self-denial. (Para 5.5)
Physical expression of 'attachment' to another person cannot be commended as a way of life that is a faithful reflection of God's purpose. (Para 5.6)
Homophiles who do not renounce all physical sex relations must nevertheless be guided by some form of the Christian ideal of chastity appropriate to them. (Para 5.7)
Bisexual activity is always wrong because their sexual orientation is ambiguous and they are attracted to partners of either sex. (Para 5.8)
One-to-one partnerships are the only ethically serious model for homophiles. Rejection of permanent partnerships is pretentious disguise for the evil of promiscuity. (Para 5.9)
They believe the majority of homophile clergy are not in sexually active partnerships. (Para 5.11)
Clergy cannot claim the liberty to enter into sexually active homophile relationships. (Para 5.17)
Clergy in homophile partnerships could not, in most parishes, be accepted as examples to the whole flock. (Para 5.16)
Partnered homophile clergy who come out as a matter of personal integrity take pre-emptive action within the movement for change in the Church's perceptions and teaching (and by implication, shouldn't). (Para 5.19)
The Statement says it is the fundamental responsibility of Christians to reject and resist all forms of homophobia and to be active in protecting those who are victimised. (Para 4.8) The Church of England has been far from robust in resisting homophobia and still fails to recognise and condemn prejudice against LGBT people.
Some issues in human sexuality
A second report, Some issues in human sexuality: A guide to the debate, was published in 2003. It is described as a discussion document and covers far more ground than the original Statement, running to 358 pages. It dealt, very inadequately, with Transsexualism for the first time. Changing Attitude was one of the groups consulted by the bishops who wrote the report. It has had little impact in motivating debate in the Church or informing people's attitudes.

Khloe Kardashian On Lopez Tonight
Khloe Kardashian is my favorite sister out of the whole gang. When she appeared on Lopez Tonight on Monday, she talked about her marriage to Lamar Odom, now one year in, and she discusses TSA's new full body search saying, "Oh well they basically are just raping you in public."
Khloe also talks about her childhood fetish with animals. Apparently, she once thought she was a dog. This story and many others appear in the family's new book, Kardashian Konfidential.

Three of the Edmonton Oilers top four leading scorers are expected to be on the same line against the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night.
Connor McDavid, who leads the team with 31 points, will likely be flanked by Milan Lucic and Leon Draisaitl, who both have 17 points.
"I think that he (McDavid) has an opportunity to connect with those two right now," says head coach Todd McLellan. "Our other players that we've put there aren't capitalizing on some of their opportunities. Leon, in my opinion, has been one of top forwards over the last few weeks."
The Oilers will be trying to break out of a three-game winless skid. They've scored only five goals in those games.
"Even thought we lost at home the last couple of games, I still think we played pretty good hockey," says Draisaitl. "Obviously, there are moments we're a little sloppy, but if you watch the all-around game, I don't think we played a terrible game."
Winger Tyler Pitlick is expected to play after being a healthy scratch the last two games. "I don't change anything. I just play hard, play physical, and shoot the puck," says Pitlick.
The Oilers expected lineup is:
Lucic – McDavid – Draisaitl
Pouliot – Nugent-Hopkins – Eberle
Pitlick – Caggiula – Slepyshev
Maroon – Letestu – Kassian
Klefbom – Larsson
Sekera – Russell
Nurse – Benning
The Oilers beat the Jets 3-0 when they met in the Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field on October 23. Winnipeg has won its last two after enduring a five-game losing streak.
Catch the game on 630 CHED with the Face-off Show at 4:30pm. The game starts at 6pm. (jrw)

Portland introduces Stotts as coach
Associated Press | Last updated August 08, 2012
Terry Stotts says there a lot of good coaches who don't have good records, and he hopes to show Portland fans that he's one of them. Stotts was introduced Wednesday as the head coach of the Trail Blazers. Stotts had a 115-168 record as coach of the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks before spending the past four seasons as an assistant with the Dallas Mavericks. He takes over a team that missed the playoffs last season and has primarily rebuilt with rookies rather than veterans. Stotts says he hopes to make the postseason, but his primary objective this season is to make sure the young players are better in April than October. General manager Neil Olshey says he's ''absolutely confident'' the team found the right coach.

Do new value loops that keep resources in the economy for longer, present an opportunity or a threat to consumption-driven businesses?
We want to get (the) best value from all the materials entering our business, especially from material that does not get converted into finished product - P&G's corporate waste strategy leader, Forbes McDougall
Whether it be turning toothpaste into jewellery cleaner, washing up liquid into car wash, or shampoo into carpet cleaner - with some applied imagination, the full potential of scrap streams can be realised, converting disposal costs into recycling revenues and benefiting small local businesses.
Markus Zils, a principal at McKinsey & Company writes that for equipment manufacturers, moving to a service-based business model such as car leasing or tool hiring can open great opportunities. By providing performance over products, you keep resources within your business and strengthen your customer base through repeat use and improved brand experience.
It all sounds very win-win, but some will inevitably lose. "Who is going to make money from renting drills? B&Q or Black&Decker?," asks European sustainability director for Interface, Ramon Arratia.
Equally, Cisco's green technology and innovation manager, Neil Harris, points to the Internet as a powerful enabler for creating new value loops - Warp it, Swapstyle and ecomodo provide just a few examples. However, consumption driven businesses like Blockbuster, which fought a losing battle against online streaming until its closure in December last year, might not regard the Internet so highly.
How important is it for businesses to have good data on their resource use before they explore more cyclical approaches?
Business often has a comprehensive understanding of its resource purchases, says Henk de Bruin, global head of sustainability, for Philips. However, he adds, it's less clear around consumer waste, which deserves more research and better attention in the design phase of products. On this, Cisco's Harris says social media and forums like ifixit can often provide manufacturers with real insights into user sentiments.
McDougall agrees that understanding the life cycle impacts of your business is key to identifying where the biggest opportunities rest for improvement. The single biggest environmental impact of P&G's laundry business is the energy used to heat washing machine water. With this data, P&G acted to develop low temperature detergents.
Why are SMEs not more engaged in new business models?
Zils believes start ups and SMEs could prove a powerful driving force behind the circular economy, particularly in areas like recommerce, material innovation and business model innovation. But despite having the agility to adapt more easily to sustainable ways of doing business, for the size of the sector, it seems like SMEs aren't on board.
Zils suggests this might partly be explained by the lack of recognition from the investment community, who haven't yet seen the real value in what SMEs can do.
Is there regulation limiting the re-use, refurbishment or remanufacturing of materials?
When resources become attached to labels like waste, it becomes easier for others to overlook its value. And once materials are branded hazardous, they come laden with legislation. P&G's McDougall expands:
There is certainly a grey area around the definition of by-products which does not help some of the remanufacturing projects we have explored.
When using waste and scraps from other companies as a raw material in a manufacturing process, a whole new level of quality assurance challenges arise.
Zils is optimistic however that as the circular economy evolves, waste-streams will become more apparent and regulators will think differently about categories. One proposal, for example, is to define materials such as glass as "permanent" so they could never be deemed waste.
If manufacturers agreed to build standardised features it would be much easier to repurpose parts in later lives. Is this feasible or are there too many vested interests?
Manufacturers have an interest in making bespoke parts because they offer competitive advantage, but proprietary shapes are obviously less beneficial for sustainability. While there might be competitive advantage in non-compatible parts, many companies have now understood that creating conformity across their own product range at least, can reap rewards in their repair business or stock management.
According to Arratia, the answer to standardisation across the board is one word: regulation.
Take mobile phone chargers. Now they are USB based mostly. That happened because (of) a threat from the EU to manufacturers. Many times you need some rules of the game.
Do you believe a true zero-waste economy is possible, and if so when?
"It is possible, it exists. It's called nature," writes Arratia.
Waste from one organism is food for another one. It all works because it's based on building blocks … Nature does not introduce any new molecule that can not handle at the end of life.
Zils agrees that it's possible and within a relatively short period of time, given we include incineration as one of the waste streams. He points to San Francisco as an example of a municipality that has set up composting and anaerobic digestion plants, as well as work with large waste stream emitters on avoidance programmes.
Bruin shares in his fellow panelists optimism. Theoretically, he says, it is possible. In practice, circular models will gradually slow the use of natural resources towards a zero waste economy, but the speed will be determined by the upcoming economies and the ability to leap frog technologies and business models.
