John Joseph 'Johnny' Ardoin
A Mass of Christian burial was held at Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church for John Joseph "Johnny" Ardoin, 91, of Jennings on Monday, July 30, 2018, at 11 a.m. with Reverend Jeff Starkovich officiating.
A gathering of family and friends was held at Matthews and Son Funeral Home beginning on Sunday, July 29, from 2-8 p.m., with a rosary recited at 6 p.m. The family requested that visitation resume on Monday, July 30, from 8 a.m. until the time of his funeral Mass at 11 a.m..
Burial followed in Calvary Cemetery.
Johnny was born in Elton on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 1926, to Valcour Ardoin and Theotise Fontenot Ardoin and moved to Jennings in November of 1938. He was called from his earthly life on Saturday, July 28, 2018.
Johnny served our country honorably in the United States Army. Private First Class John Ardoin was inducted into the United States Army in New Orleans on Feb. 20, 1945. During his basic training, he earned the distinction as "Rifle Sharpshooter" on Sept. 1, 1945, Johnny boarded a U.S. troop ship bound for the Philippine Islands as part of the war operations effort to eradicate the Japanese enemy from the Islands. Upon his arrival in the Philippine Islands on Sept. 30, 1945, he was assigned to the 3040th car company. During his time there, he transported valued equipment, supplies and combat troops to strategic locations in direct support of combat operations against members of the Japanese Imperial Forces. Private John Ardoin was consistent, dependable and accurately carried out all responsibilities assigned to him to a successful conclusion. Johnny returned to the United States on Oct. 27, 1946. Before his honorable separation from the Army at Fort Sam Houston on Dec. 18, 1946, Private John Ardoin was commended with several awards and decorations including the Asiatic Pacific Theater Campaign Ribbon, Army Occupation Ribbon, (Japan) Victory Ribbon and 2 Overseas Service Bars. Johnny re-enlisted with the Air Force for a second tour of duty. After his service to our country, Johnny worked for Shell Oil until his retirement in 1986, a job in which he loved. Johnny was a member of the Knights of Columbus, the American Legion, the VFW and the Woodmen of the World, as well as a faithful and active member of Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church. He was dedicated to and spent all of this spare time focused on his family. His nephews and nieces all knew that they could count on their Uncle Johnny to be at the dinner table every Sunday. Family meals always started with serving their Uncle Johnny first and they knew it was dessert time when Uncle Johnny broke out the sweets for dessert. As Johnny's family grew with great and great great nephews and nieces, he was always committed to contributing to his large extended family by making their lives better. Johnny was a very generous man. He was a collector of many items among them were memorable coins. With all of the items he collected, he eventually gave them to the ones closest to his heart, his nephews and nieces. Johnny was loved by many and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Johnny leaves to cherish his memories his sister, Betty (Elery) LeGros of Jennings; numerous nieces and nephews; as well as many extended family members.
Johnny was preceded in death by his parents, Valcour and Theotise Ardoin; his two brothers, Morris Ardoin and Bobby Ardoin; and his four sisters, Alice Rhodes, Effie Darbonne, Ellen Manuel and Evelyn Ardoin.
Carrying Johnny to his final resting place in Calvary Cemetery will be his nephews, Victor Darbonne, Sidney Manuel, Bernan A. Theunissen, Jr., Carter Ardoin, Brian LeGros, Andrew LeGros, Phillip LeGros, Robert LeGros and Aaron LeBlanc.

That's likely the result of ongoing uncertainty around the health of the UK car market, despite the recent uptick in new car registrations.

Climate strategy
One of our goals is to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities. One important milestone is our climate target: By the year 2020, we are planning to reduce the absolute amount of CO2 emissions we produce by 20 percent compared to base year 2008 (excluding T-Mobile USA). One step in this process is investing in energy-efficient network technology.
And we are concerned with more than just reducing our own carbon footprint. We want to help our customers reduce their CO2 emissions as well. The GeSI SMARTer2030 study shows that information and communications technology may be part of the solution in the fight against climate change. Products such as our cloud and mobility solutions help reduce the amount of CO2 emissions our customers produce. And we continue to expand our offer of solutions like these.
Our integrated climate strategy
We have bundled our climate protection activities in our integrated climate strategy. Our strategy consists of four climate protection aspects that significantly influence our business activities: CO2 emissions, renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable products. We have set goals for all of these aspects and defined KPIs to help us regularly review our progress. Our integrated climate strategy is also tied to our "Leading European Telco" Group strategy, allowing us to effectively integrate climate protection measures into our core business.
The four pillars of our integrated climate strategy
Our goal is to reduce the absolute amount of CO2 emissions we produce throughout the Group. By the year 2020, we are planning to reduce our CO2 emissions by 20 percent compared to base year 2008 (excluding T-Mobile US). To help us achieve this goal, we record all direct and indirect emissions using the globally recognized GHG protocol. By 2016, we were already able to reduce our emissions by 5 percent compared to 2008 in absolute figures.* In Germany we were able to realize a reduction of 6.5 percent in the same period of time. Key forces behind this reduction include using modern building technology and office concepts as well as an efficient vehicle fleet and replacing business trips with audio and video conferences. Initial projections within the scope of our 2016 climate target monitoring show that the broadband expansion in Germany is impacting our CO2 emissions to an unexpected degree and that these are rising above those that we planned in 2013. As soon as we have completed our climate target monitoring activities we will be able to precisely identify these impacts and discuss them as well as any measures that need to be taken with the Group's Board of Management at the end of the year. The results will be presented in the next CR report.*Data only confirmed by PwC for Germany
We are assessing ways to increase the share of green energy in use at our company, e.g., by purchasing guarantees of origin for energy from renewable sources, generating our own renewable energy and introducing carbon pricing. Some national companies are setting a great example: Magyar Telekom in Hungary, T-Mobile Netherlands, and OTE in Greece obtained 100 percent of their electricity from renewable sources in 2016. We have also introduced parameters throughout the Group that can be used to assess electricity procurement in terms of sustainability. These parameters help us make our energy mix more transparent and increase the share of energy obtained from renewable sources at our company. The share of energy from renewable sources in use at the Group was almost 10 percentage points higher on average in 2016 than in the national energy mix of each relevant country*.* When calculating the share of energy from renewable sources, we also use the share of renewable energy in the country mix, as the (usually lower) share of renewable energy in the residual mix is not available. For Germany, the EEG surcharge paid is taken into account when calculating the share of renewable energy.
We continue to expand the capacity and performance of our fixed-line and mobile networks to meet the demands that come with rapidly growing data traffic. Because network operation calls for a considerable amount of energy, we are investing in modernization and energy-efficient technology. In order to measure our progress, we introduced two new key performance indicators (KPIs) in 2016. They show our energy consumption Energy Intensity KPI and our carbon footprint Carbon IntensityKPI in proportion to the transmitted data volumes.
Many of our products and services provide various sustainability advantages. They can help reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, improve healthcare and make logistics more efficient and environmentally friendly. In 2015 we generated 39 percent of sales with products and services that provide sustainability advantages such as these while ruling out any significant sustainability risks. This reflects an increase of two percentage points compared to 2014.
Collaboration for climate protection
Effective climate protection calls for joint efforts on the part of business, politics, science and society. That is why we are involved in a number of German initiatives, such as the 2° Foundation, and international associations. One of these is the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI ). As an industry association, GeSI's vision is to help make society greener and more climate-friendly with the help of ICT solutions.

McGregor Boyall partners with OPERA
McGregor Boyall has partnered with The OPERA Global Youth Foundation (OPERA), a charity dedicated to supporting young, disadvantaged people into employment.
The OPERA Global Youth Foundation (OPERA) is the recruitment industry's youth employment foundation. Their mission is to unite recruiters in empowering young people to thrive in work.
Group people director, Lucy Frost, said, "A key objective of McGregor Boyall for 2018 is to expand our CSR activities, so we are delighted to be partnering with OPERA who are dedicated to tackling the issue of youth unemployment – something we are particularly passionate about as a business."
Group CEO, Laurie Boyall, added, "The recruitment industry is in the perfect position to help tackle the very real issue of youth unemployment in the UK and we have a responsibility to do so whether that is through mentoring programmes, CV writing workshops, training on interview techniques, or through simply exposing young people to a real workplace environment."
Esther O'Callaghan OBE, executive chair of The OPERA Global Youth Foundation, shared, "We're delighted that McGregor-Boyall are supporting OPERA. Nearly two and a half million young people in the UK will spend at least 6 months out of work and face the most fundamental barriers to employment, like not being able to pay for work clothes or their first month's travel. Through fundraising and volunteering, recruiters are perfectly placed to support young people into employment."
McGregor Boyall will be running a series of fundraising events over the next 12 months, as well as hosting various events such as World of Work days, focusing on practical skills to help with issues around employability. To date OPERA's #thrivefund has supported over 500 young people into employment - 61% of whom identified as having a mental health issue and 55% a disability. Additionally, the fund has supported 18 young people who needed a bursary to pay for ID so they could start work.

L'Oréal Announces Two Important Changes In The Group'S General Management Group
Jean-Paul Agon, Chief Executive Officer, announces two important changes in the group's General Management: Jean-Jacques Lebel, becomes Executive Vice-President Consumer Products succeeding Patrick Rabain, who is retiring, and Nicolas Hiéronimus is succeeding Jean-Jacques Lebel as Managing Director of the Professional Products division.
At the start of 2008, after 34 years with L'Oréal, the departure of Patrick Rabain means that Jean-Paul Agon is appointing two new heads at two of its divisions: Consumer Products and Professional Products.
Patrick Rabain will be retiring at the end of February 2008. After beginning his career at L'Oréal in 1973 as Head of Marketing Studies at L'Oréal Paris, Patrick Rabain was successively appointed Marketing Director of L'Oréal Paris, Director of L'Oréal United Kingdom, Director of L'Oréal Germany and Director of Consumer Products France. Since 1996 he has been Executive Vice-President of the Consumer Products Division.
"Patrick Rabain is clearly one of the major figures in the history of L'Oréal. Working closely from his early days with Lindsay Owen-Jones, he has played a leading role in our company's development throughout a career entirely devoted to Consumer Products, driving its growth tremendously by maximising the power of its major brands and successfully rolling them out on all continents," said Jean-Paul Agon.
Jean-Jacques Lebel, is succeeding Patrick Rabain. He joined L'Oréal in 1981 as Managing Director of L'Oréal Paris in Great Britain. He was then successively appointed Managing Director of Laboratoires Garnier France, Director of L'Oréal United Kingdom and Managing Director of the Latin America zone. In 2001, he became Executive Vice-President Professional Products. From March 1st 2008, he will be Executive Vice-President Consumer Products.
Jean-Paul Agon commented: "The career of Jean-Jacques Lebel has been exceptional. In his 6 years at the Professional Products Division, he has strongly developed and modernised the division, which under his leadership has considerably accelerated its growth, increasing the lead it enjoys over its competitors. L'Oréal is today, more than ever before, world number one. Through his outstanding personal qualities, the richness of his experience and the exemplary success of his career, Jean-Jacques Lebel is a completely legitimate successor to Patrick Rabain".
Nicolas Hiéronimus is to succeed Jean-Jacques Lebel at the Professional Products Division. He has spent his whole career with L'Oréal. After joining the marketing department of Garnier and Gemey/Maybelline at the age of 23, he was appointed in 1993 Marketing Director for Laboratoires Garnier in France, and then Managing Director of Garnier/Maybelline in Great Britain, before becoming Managing Director of L'Oréal Paris France. In 2000, Nicolas Hiéronimus became the first International Managing Director of the L'Oréal Paris brand, overseeing its strategic development and globalisation. From 2005 to 2007, he was in charge of L'Oréal Mexico. In January 2008, Jean-Paul Agon is appointing him Managing Director of the Professional Products Division, and says: "Nicolas Hiéronimus has already had a formidably successful 21-year career at L'Oréal, during which he has demonstrated not only outstanding management skills and leadership, but also great qualities of strategic vision and innovative thinking".

Agios Dimitrios
Agios Dimitrios is a village in Syros, located on the eastern side of the island. It is one of the smallest villages in Syros and has about 50 residents. It is just north of the Ermoupoli and belongs to the Municipality of Ano Syros.
Despite being so small, Agios Dimitrios is one of the most popular places of Syros. The reason is the orthodox, majestic church of Agios Dimitrios that dominates in the edge of a cliff in the village. It is an imposing Christian church with a large dome, visible from afar, and the landscape's background is the clear blue sea.
Characteristic is the fact that, according to the tradition in Syros, the ships that arrive or leave the island are not whistling while entering or leaving the port of this, but when they pass in front of Agios Dimitrios. According to the tradition, the priest of the church retaliates by hitting the bells!

Coming from an artistic point of view Green is the color neutral as my grandmother calls it. It goes with everything and looks good on everyone…depending on tone of course. In my second apartment with my husband I had a lovely green living room, my deep purple sofa looked so bright next to those walls. {I would post a pic but I lost the photos when my computer was stolen in December} Sadly, I haven't painted any of the walls in our rent house green, although our Master would be a lovely green room. {it is currently baby blue} I love green, it's fresh, clean and open, it can be regal and calming, green soothes us after it's complimentary red. Here is a beautiful green space I have found.
Another reason I love green rooms/walls/interiors is darks and lights can pop with such natural expectations. This space reminds me of the outdoors, the natural wood and light are inviting and comforting. I feel a sense of belonging to this space. I want to explore it.
Another perception of green is living style.
I have to admit I have been a tree hugger since my arms where long enough to reach all the way around. In high school I was a member of the ffa, yes i know…any how as a member of ffa I partook of the Spring teams of which I was a member of the Horticulture team. I could name {scientific and common} and identify 100 state {Texas} plants. I could judge a plant as to which would be the best candidate for purchase based on formation and could pick out a landscape design plan without hinderance. My love of plants has not faded with age, I just don't like to get to dirty. We are currently growing Squash, Zucchini and Chives. I have also created a wonderful compost pile in the back of our yard. It took some time to develop but is quickly showing it's growth. I have planted gladioli and lilies in front of it and they are thriving! I think, and this is my opinion, but composting and recycling can save the world. Growing a few of your own veggies has to be the healthiest thing in the world to do and eat.
{I would have posted a beautiful photo of my lovely compost pile…but this week got ahead of me…so in the mean time enjoy this site on Composting!}

Religion's Future and the Future's Religions Through the Lens of Science Fiction
Document Type
Publication Date
Publication Title
The Changing World Religion Map
First Page
Last Page
While most scholarship in religious studies focuses on the past and present, the study of what the future may hold in store for religion deserves attention. Studying the treatment of religious themes and characters in science fiction provides one way of accomplishing this objective. From the possibility of time travel to key events in the history of religion, to the possibility of acquiring godlike attributes by technological or other futuristic means, science fiction regularly touches on topics such as the nature and universality of truth or the nature of personhood and of divinity in ways that can be deeply theological, even if the authors of the tales are not theologians or even religiously inclined. In stories about contact with extraterrestrial sentient life forms, sci-fi tales can explore questions about diversity in the values and ideas we hold, but on a much larger scale than that provided by our own planet. Yet these stories reflect the convictions and concerns human beings currently have about our ability to understand one another and our sometimes seemingly incommensurable commitments. Such stories provide natural conversation partners for present-day religious communities. The study of such literature and film provides insight into how major conceptual and ethical questions are being explored and wrestled with even today.

Four founding members of Newswatch Communications Limited have faulted claims by billionaire businessman, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, that he owns the paper.
The founders, Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese, Yakubu Mohammed and Soji Akinrinade said Mr. Ibrahim does not own the newspaper because he never paid for the 51 per cent shares of the company, he now claims ownership of.
They said this in a statement details of which was published by ThisDay.
The founders claimed in the statement that Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim on October 31, 2017 "planted in several newspapers" a court decision that took place seven months ago, precisely on March 27, 2017.
The founders noted that Mr. Jimoh had since 2011 done everything possible to falsely claim 51 per cent shares of Newswatch Communications Limited, "which he never paid for."
Mr. Ibrahim's reaction could not be immediately gotten as at the time of filing the report.
The statement reads: "The judgement, which was given based on the fact that the judges misdirected themselves on the facts of the matter, has since been contested by two of the shareholders of the company.
"On May 5, 2011, the directors of Newswatch Communications Limited signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim and his Global Media Mirror Limited for the sale of 51 per cent shares of Newswatch Communications Limited to him and his company. The share purchase price was N510 million which he was to pay not later than May 5, 2011, the date of the completion board meeting.
"Ibrahim never paid the said N510 million before that day; he never paid it on that day and he never paid it after that day. Up till today, he has not paid for the said shares. But he has tried by hook and crook to own the shares of a company he never paid for.
"He took four of us-Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese, Yakubu Mohammed and Soji Akinrinade-to the Federal High Court in Lagos, claiming that we had retired from the company on May 5, 2011, and we were no longer directors of the company.
"The truth of the matter is that we retired from the company and were reappointed as non-executive directors at the very meeting in which he was chosen as chairman of the board of the company."
They noted that Mr. Ibrahim announced their reappointment as the company directors in the news room and published same National Mirror, a newspaper he owns, the next day being May 6, 2011.
"For the 15 months that the magazine was published with him as the chairman, our names were listed every week as directors of the company," they said.
Worried about the Nigerian judicial system, they raised optimism in challenging the latest judgement.
"We believe that despite the rot in the Nigeria system, there are still judges with a conscience who will not sell their conscience for a mess of pottage," the statement said.

The Adult Anxiety Clinic of Temple is a treatment, research and training clinic. Affiliated with the Temple University Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program, our mission is to provide effective treatment for adults with anxiety disorders. Research at the Clinic is sometimes funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and is often aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of treatments of several anxiety disorders. Currently we are also funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to examine treatments for dental anxiety.
Research studies conducted in this Clinic are most often aimed at understanding processes involved in social anxiety disorder and to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for this problem. At any given time, research studies of this nature are conducted and individuals seeking treatment at the Clinic may be offered participation in them. We also conduct research concerning dental anxiety and other anxiety-related problems as well.
The treatments provided by this clinic involve predominantly cognitive-behavioral therapy. We constantly work on improving treatment methods commonly used by clinicians in the field. Treatments are provided by trained therapists who are further supervised by experienced clinicians and experts. More information on the nature of treatments for social anxiety is provided on this web site.
The AACT currently provides treatments for social anxiety disorder, which is characterized by persistent fears of social or performance situations. We also provide treatment for dental anxiety for patients who seek treatment at the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry Faculty Practice Clinic.
Individuals who contact this Clinic and who participate in our treatments and research studies agree to share the information we obtain from them with the scientific community. However, any information obtained will be strictly confidential and research data are never identified with participants' names. This clinic does not release information about specific individuals without the person's signed consent.
If you contact our Clinic, seeking treatment for social anxiety problems, a member of our staff will interview you briefly on the telephone in order to learn about you and whether our clinic is appropriate for your concerns. You will then be scheduled for a comprehensive interview with a trained clinician. After this initial interview, the Clinic staff decides whether our services would be helpful to your particular needs. If our programs are not judged to be appropriate for you, we will provide you with referrals to other services in the area.
Generally, the fee for services at this Clinic is determined on a sliding scale based on income, the number of dependents and the individual's ability to pay. This Clinic does not accept third party payments by insurance companies.

Asian Tribune is published by E-LANKA MEDIA(PVT)Ltd. Vol. 20 No. 79
Politics of threat & intimidation by Lyca mobiles
Lyca mobiles, a UK based mobile phone company has threatened to sue the Sri Lankan Charles Nirmalanathan MP representing the Vanni electoral district.
Lyca mobile, phone company from London, has issued a legal notice to MP Charles Nirmalanathan alleging that he has made number of defamatory and false allegations through a South Indian-based TV station 'Puthiya Thalaimurai,' against their housing project that was scheduled to be opened by South Indian aging and fast balding film actor Rajinikanth.
Lyca mobiles, the phone company is owned by Subaskaran Allirajah, a British Citizen and the Phone company has issued legal notice to Sri Lankan MP Nirmalanathan, demanding that the comments immediately withdrawn, an apology is issued and damages of 250 million Sri Lankan Rupees are recouped.
Subaskaran Allirajah, the British Citizen has founded a foundation in his mother's name - Gnanam Foundation and has come forward on their own to do charity works in Sri Lanka.
It is still not clear whether Gnanam Foundation is a registered charity organization in Sri Lanka? The clarification has to be given by the Foundation people as already doubts have been raised sometime ago by some media organizations – not Asian Tribune.
The village, located in Sinnnaadampan and Puliyankulam in the Vavuniya district contains a community centre and 150 houses, each with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a toilet, Lyca said in an official statement.
The group stated that Lyca's Gnanam Foundation has no political agenda as claimed by the MP and the project was only an aid programme for a charity solely intended to support the local community, and the allegations are therefore baseless and unfounded.
Unfortunately Lyca mobiles has failed to specify their reasons behind the selection of locations and whether there was any popular requests by public of the area for them to construct those houses under their so called charities.
Whatever said and done, a mobile company based in London, filing legal action against a Sri Lankan Member of Parliament cannot be condoned and tolerated without leveling condemnation.

Black Men Are 2.5 Times More Likely To Be Killed By Police
Lethal force is the sixth leading cause of death for men.
Tamir Rice was a 12-year-old African-American boy who was fatally shot by police in Cleveland, Ohio. A police dispatch call described a "male sitting on a swing and pointing a gun at people" in a city park, referring to Rice. Upon arrival at the scene, two officers reported that Rice reached towards a gun in his waistband. They then fired two shots at the adolescent, hitting Rice in the torso. It was later found that Rice's gun was an Airsoft replica and was completely fake. He died the day after the shooting. Timothy Loehmann, the officer who shot Rice, was later proven to be an emotionally unstable recruit and unfit for duty. (Photo: Lisa DeJong/The Plain Dealer /Landov)

Home-based businesses comprise a significant and growing segment of the small business population in advanced economies.
Studies in various countries consistently report that well over half of all small businesses are home-based. The proportion is even higher in some rural areas. The home can therefore be said to be the most significant location for entrepreneurial activity. Moreover, most commentators predict that the home will become even more important as a focus for business activity in the future.
Nevertheless, home-based businesses have attracted little attention from small business researchers. The consequent lack of an evidence base has encouraged policy-makers to ignore home-based businesses on the grounds that they are thought – incorrectly – to be of marginal economic significance.
Despite the significance of home-based businesses – as a proportion of the SME population – and predictions that they will increase further in both absolute and relative terms, they are largely ignored in economic development strategies of national, regional and local governments. There are three main reasons for this. First, by definition home-based businesses are invisible. It is impossible to identify whether any particular house is the location of a home-based business just by looking at it. Second, there is a lack of an evidence base on home-based businesses. They are not separately identified in official statistics and difficult to survey on account of their invisibility. Third, in the absence of the limited evidence base the stereotype has emerged which dismisses home-based businesses as comprising lifestyle or hobby businesses, largely run by women to fit around childcare and household responsibilities which generate low incomes and are therefore economically insignificant.
This special issue is intended to give some overdue attention to the home-based business sector.

A fact that most motorists would not recognize and certainly not care to admit is that 80% of multi-vehicle accidents involving a motorcyclist are not the fault of the rider. Regardless of this fact, motorcyclists are continually stereotyped against, perhaps as many incorrectly associate the choice to ride a bike, and thus put oneself greater in harm's way, as being responsible for the accident. In truth, because motorcycles are smaller than vehicles and thus are less obvious to a driver's eye, common occurrences such as changing lanes can become fatal situations, most often for the innocent motorcyclist. In seeking to protect motorcyclists, we work to encourage bikers to do all they can to protect themselves against the increasingly unwary and distracted driver.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Advocate for Constant Vigilance
According to the Hurt Report, which has been called "the most comprehensive motorcycle safety study of the 20th century," 92% of those involved in motorcycle accidents were either self-taught or taught by friends or family. The statistics show that when you choose to take motorcycle training into your own hands, you are less inclined to know how to react when a driver chooses to put your safety at risk.
Formal motorcycle training serves to help bikers react instinctively in perilous road situations. Although this is not a requirement by law in order to get motorcycle license, the advantages are many. The most important by-product of a formal training course is the know-how that will allow motorcycle drivers, who are certainly more susceptible to greater harm in the event of an accident, to react well and thus ensure their own safety. Besides this, by taking a formal motorcycle training the riding portion of your licensing exam is usually waived by the Driver License Division, insurance companies will usually provide you a better rate, and there are even some motorcycle manufacturers that will help you pay the cost of the course. Regardless, the cost of such of a course is minimal in comparison to the amount of physical and emotional heartache that can ensue following a terrible accident.
The motorcycle accident lawyers at the Christensen Law Firm acknowledge that in the majority of circumstances motorcyclists are not at fault, and thus deserve compensation in the event of an accident in which the negligence of another has caused them harm. We understand the law and how it affects you, and will provide compassionate legal service at your time of need.

Played here last week and the course was in really good condition and the greens were true and a reasonable pace.Good layout that will suit golfers of all levels, friendly staff made for a really pleasant round and would recommend those who haven't played here to put it on their list.
I played this course with my boss and thought it would be a dust bowl in the middle of nowhere, but i was suprised by this challenging course. I was glad we payed the extra cash for a cart myself not usually ruining a good walk. There are some very hilly holes and some tight fairways which punish slices and hooks. The course was kept in fairly good condition with well sped greens and the fairways were cut nicely. When the balls were in the long rough i was sure to take a club or pick up a big stick to protect my self from the possibility of snakes. Bunkers were in a fairly condition but still playable, but what do you expect from a course which is so cheap to get get a round in. The staff in the pro-shop were very friendly especially knocking off a couple dollars for a drink i didn't have enough change for. There is plenty of history to this course and i recommend playing it at least once for the view at the top of one of the holes that looks over the country side and lets you smash the absolute hell out of the ball. all in all i'll be back bringing a friend if not for the golf but the country charm of this course.

Jacqui – July 2013
It seems Bill's new restaurant in Oxford was causing mixed reactions; some were saying it was great, some were saying style over substance, some were complaining that it was another chain… curiosity usually kills the cat, so I hear, but thankfully on this occasion, said cat was pretty sated.
Tucked behind George Street on St Michael's Street and three doors away from Mission Burrito, Bills Oxford is part retailer, part deli, part restaurant; offering everything from breakfast, lunch, dinner and cake, through to huge jars of artichokes, chutneys, cook books and canvas bags… so are they trying to be all things to all men? Quite possibly, but from what I could see, they were doing a decent job of it. The menus (arriving just before noon I had breakfast, lunch & specials menus to select from) had a good range of appealing dishes to choose from; then the retail/deli items were displayed on industrial shelving and listed in a separate pamphlet on your table, allowing you to choose items which can then be added to your bill.
I don't mind this idea, I quite like the thought of popping in for brunch then leaving with a jar of chilli jam; I can imagine though, some people would not be amused by the in-your-face commercialism… personally, I think there's something quite honest about it. You see Bill's Oxford aren't hiding the fact they're trying to sell to you, and quite frankly, as long as the waiting staff don't actually try to 'sell' the wares while you're visiting, I can't say I care (if they did start pushing the goods then that would be another matter).
Getting settled in with my several menus, I checked out the interior – vast ceiling space, grand windows, leather button-back seating and chandeliers harping back to Victorian splendour, mixed in with big metal ventilation pipes, galvanised steel chairs and industrial looking shelving. The interior is well and truly styled to within an inch of its life, but I didn't find it at all pretentious. I found the staff pleasant and helpful, the atmosphere warm and relaxing, and the surroundings pretty chilled out – quite ideal for a peaceful lunch while off duty (no kids!!!).
My regular readers won't be surprised to hear I went for the Full English, or 'Bill's Breakfast' to be specific (£7.95) – quite a staple reviewing dish for me, although unusual for me to order at lunch. On this occasion, however, I'd speedily snaffled some early morning toast on my way out the door so a cooked breakfast sounded pretty appealing. Swapping fried for scrambled eggs (they had no issue with this I'm glad to report) and not opting to add Baked Beans (£1 extra) or Bubble & Squeak (£1.50 extra), I settled in with the produce menu and a nice decaf latte to await my brunch.
On arrival, the breakfast looked huge, and actually very well displayed as far as breakfasts go – I wasn't quite sure I could finish it to be honest! Turns out, this was a very enjoyable brekkie: delicious and still warm (yay!!) mushrooms; pretty well cooked but still OK scrambled eggs; nicely roasted plum tomato; delicious, crispy, smoky, streaky bacon – great to see this as a change from the usual back bacon; toasted, fluffy, white, buttered bread; then two small but perfectly formed Cumberland sausages – and I have to say… they were cooked stunningly well! HALLELUJAH!!! Throughout my pregnancy I have been blighted by restaurants serving me undercooked sausages… enough already! These sausages were cooked just the right side of pink, there was a slight blush, but they were COOKED! They were also bloody tasty.
Being a bit of a slow eater (poor MrF often has to sit and watch me eat for at least 10-20 minutes after he's finished), the toast did get a bit soggy underneath the eggs, but I assume this would be better if sticking with the fried eggs as standard. Other than that though, I couldn't fault this dish.
I never did manage to clear the plate – I polished off all the mushrooms and bacon, most of the sausage, plus about half the toast and egg; I love the thought of having the beans and bubble & squeak added but there is no way I could manage it all… possibly more of a manly sized dish (grrr).
So, overall opinion of Bills… I really quite liked it and am definitely planning on returning to try out more of the multiple menu options. I also hear they do good cake, so, I guess I have to taste it and report back – purely for your reading pleasure of course!
Becca – May 2013
I'm a bit late to the party on this one, everyone else in Oxford seems to have already visited Bills Oxford which opened two weeks ago in St Michael's Street! But I reckon hardly any of them remember the building from when it was the Northgate Hall, a kind of occasional drop-in community centre with a seriously good gay nightclub every so often. In fact the whole street has had a bit of a facelift in the last few years and has some very interesting places down there. Mission Burrito, that old favourite The Nosebag, Makan-La, Zappis Bikes shop and cafe, Vanbrugh Hotel which by the way is VERY nice inside. I got a little tour today and it's beautifully decorated and styled. There's a tiny little restaurant in the basement with a patio and I'm hearing good things so that's next on my list.
Anyway I digress as usual. Bill's opened two weeks ago, small chain of restaurants serving basic, good food and somewhat bizarrely also selling some of the groceries that are used in the restaurant. Now I know Jamie's does this and I can see the logic in buying some really good fresh pasta or a scrumptious sauce from one of Mr Oliver's establishments but I'm not totally convinced that I'd be interested in buying a tin of tomatoes from Bill…
So, four of us, seated straight away by some nice smiley people in the old Northgate which bears absolutely no resemblance to the last time I was there. Now it's all distressed painted wood, big lampshades and the ubiquitous shiny metal industrial venting which is clearly A Big Thing in restaurant decor. I did like the fact that you can see all the way up to the original ceiling. Not a particularly exciting ceiling but an original feature.
We ordered drinks whilst we perused the menu and three of the drinks came straight away. The starters arrived before the fourth drink which we had to gently nudge our waiter for which was a bit of a hmmph moment. A carafe of tap water was supplied though so that was a ooh moment.
I and one of my colleagues went for the starter on the specials menu – breaded Cornish squid with a lemon and aioli sauce and these were excellent. Mostly rings but one decent tentacled beast. The dipping sauce had the right balance of citrus tang and garlic and I will confess to scooping out the rest as I handed my plate back to the waiter!
My colleagues opted for the crab, salmon and chilli fishcakes which elicited a "very nice" and an avocado and bacon salad which was tasty but lost marks for being served in a bowl which made it awkward to eat out of!
So far so good. But then we waited over half an hour for the main courses. True, they have only been open a short while and yes, it was busy. It was a Wednesday lunchtime, market day and they should have been prepared. Other tables were getting their food before us and although we were happy chatting, we should have been getting back to the office. Just as we were about to start raising eyebrows inquiringly, the food arrived. One colleague ordered the chicken skewers – three chargrilled skewers on a bed of sultana, coriander and lemon couscous with some cunningly hidden tzatziki and a pitta. Another had the piri piri chicken, half a chicken with a cold salad of spring onion, coriander and lemon rice. The boss had the macaroni cheese with leeks, wild mushrooms and a crispy crumb topping. And I ordered from the specials board again, choosing their slow-cooked BBQ pork ribs with sweet potato fries and special coleslaw. I didn't get to ask what my colleagues food was like as I was too busy gnawing on bones and worrying if I had a Chelsea smile of bbq sauce on my chops.
Pork ribs, yes. Slow cooked, possibly. Meltingly tender, no. I should point out that I recently had THE best ribs I've ever had at Cabana in Westfield. Well actually, my husband had them and I'm still jealous. He just had to hold the bone near his teeth and the meat fell off. I'm extremely lucky that he let me try one and I've pretty much dreamt of those ribs daily ever since. Bill's ribs were nowhere close. Sauce was fine, maybe a little sweet for me, coleslaw was special but less than a tablespoons worth and sweet potato fries were sweet potato fries. I adore sweet potatoes so you'd have to do something pretty bad to put me off, these weren't that bad but again, Cabana does them better. I left with my jaw aching and that horrid feeling of dry pork wedged between my teeth. No sauce on my face though.
We didn't have time for dessert although the warm pecan pie or the marmalade and brown bread ice cream did sound good. Starters are priced around the five to six quid mark, mains go from £9 all the way up to steak at £16. Not bad but could have done better and for me the menu is fairly uninspiring. Sorry Bill.

Today is the Day
I say that with a total sound of doubt and apprehension! I'm on the waiting list to get induced today so after a couple text messages waking me up this morning, I got up and got ready. Hurry up and wait right? Thats exactly what I'm doing. I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing me complain about this so lets just all hope they call today so we can get this baby thing on a move!
The only good thing about not being able to sleep last night was the infomercials on the Cricut Expressions machine. It was time well wasted and then I fell asleep and dreamt about all the cool things I could do with said machine. Oh one day.

Still Waiting
There hasn't been any progress made. His head is still floating around. I'm not dialated nor am I effaced more. They did an ultrasound. Looks healthy and excellent so they don't mind if I stay pregnant longer. I guess my opinion about my body does not concern them whatsoever! The estimated weight is 8.2 pounds. (Bigger than your average watermelon) He has the chubbiest cheeks and loves kicking me in the ribs when I sleep. Thank you son.I'm on stand by to get induced on Thursday so really it could end up being Friday. Not too sure. Waiting for the doctor to call me back on that one. I will not be put on the back burner.

to quote my bro in law Ryan...."here's the thing"
haha...he says it all the time and we find it humorous.
So today's appointment was discouraging and I left in tears. I am impatient and I guess some would say unrealistic but come on already! I am still only 70% effaced and my cervix CLOSED! Yes Closed. It was a 1 last week. I'm glad to know at least one of us in comfortable in this 9 month stage but the kid just ain't budging! If I do not go into labor on my own by next week, the doc will induce labor Thursday night at about 11 pm. Good. Who needs sleep that last night right? I am scheduled for an ultra sound Monday afternoon and if there are any type of problems...amniotic fluid, umbilical cord not supplying enough blood...ya know...then they'll induce me on Monday. I am still praying that it will happen sooner than that and I won't have to go to more doctor appointments but obviously my plan just isn't taking place whatsoever. So...."there's the thing" or "now you know the rest of the story". Take care y'all and PLEASE OH PLEASE PRAY HE COMES ON HIS OWN THIS WEEKEND!
A Texting Conversation
Taralee: "How are you feeling?"
Me: "Pretty good. Having period feeling contractions. Thats all. Braxton hicks a lot."
Taralee: "You change his name more times than I change my underwear."
Me: "How do you figure? Braxton hicks are what the contractions are called you idiot."
Taralee: "LOL. So Funny."
Me: "So stupid. Thats going on the blog."
Taralee: "Haha. I'm laughing so hard right now. I didn't read any of the prego books so I don't know the terms. And I thought you meant to write kicks and not hicks."
Hilarious! She's silly most of the time but she still offers great advice and makes things awfully comical!

that stack
Remember that stack of left over decorations that I purposely put where I would trip over them a few times a day...well they all found a home yesterday afternoon. That was my "labor" for the day. Do any of the pictures frames have pictures? Nope. But they're hanging and thats all I care about for now. No more toe stubbing in the middle of the night.
Congratulations are an order!

38 Weeks
One of THOSE Nights....
- We went swimming yesterday at a resort with Ryan and Shannon and company.
- I ate 4 slices of Papa Johns Pizza and a Dr. Pepper and a handful of peanut butter M&Ms.
- Got home at 9 ish.
- Tried on my new nursing g's. Too big. Annoyed about it.
- Stayed up and read till 11 about Labor and Delivery. Not a good mind relaxer.
- 11:13 headed to bed.
- Checked the clock again at 11:53...still wide awake.
- Finally drifted off after singing primary songs such as: I am a Child of God, I Like to Look for Rainbows, A Child's Prayer and I Love to See the Temple.
- 2:27 woke up as if it were 10:00 in the morning but with real bad acid reflex (sp?). Thank you Papa. Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. My big toe.
- Made chocolate milk.
- Killed two freakin cock roaches. (didn't do the dishes before bed)
- Peed
- ATTEMPTED bed again. Laid and Laid and thought about everything in the world including labor, tearing, breast feeding, knowing when labor starts and all that. Dixie Chicks song, "I Can Love You Better" was stuck in my head.
- Almost in la la land. I could feel that floating feeling when the kid woke up. He loves chocolate milk. He'll be disappointed when he drinks my milk I guess.
- Tossed and Turned. Had to pee.
- Back to bed. Got so comfy. Said yet another prayer to fall asleep. 4:07 dying of thirst. Got up for more water. Didn't even look for cock roaches this time.
- Back to bed. It was happening. I was excited when I hear a loud, "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" Thank you Cody's phone and friend for texting at 4:15. Very thoughtful. Kid is awake again and kicking me in the ribs now. Feels amazing.
- I've given up on the idea of sleep and just decided to lay there till morning. Cody had a nightmare and flew out of bed which startled me of course. He wiped his sweaty brow on me. Gross.
- 5:15 Cody's alarm goes off and he told me how tired he was. I barely had a decent response.
- Got up with Cody and now blogging and watching the early show. Its 5:52 and I'm starving. I'm going to be pretty edgey today. Look out....consider that your warning.
It doesn't seem too bad once its written down but I know everyone has had a night like this. Aren't they the best? I would rather have to be staying up like this with a newborn...not JUST BECAUSE! $#%&*!#$%&*!&$*#!@#$*&%$@!!!!!!!!!
September 3, 2009
The Long Awaited Post...I'm so sure
September 1, 2009
19 days? 19 DAYS!
I remember back when the little ticker on my blog said 190 days and I thought that was close and now its only 19! Boy oh boy! We're definitely getting anxious and my mind is full of, "so how does this really work? I have to push him out of me? Is that really possible?" Yesterday at my appointment the doc told me I'm almost dialated to a 1 and almost effaced 25%. Hey we'll take it because I better not be having contractions for nothing. We asked if I could be to a 4 by next week and she said, "There's no way." I like to think I'm an over achiever and WILL be that far along....of course I'm also a doubter so I doubt I will be. haha.
I remember growing up my cousins decided to remodel their single wide trailer into more of a home when the wife was about oh 9 months pregnant and I kinda thought she was crazy. Well we're not remodeling a house but we are refinishing some more furniture...as if doing it when I was 7 months along wasn't hard enough. I'm really excited though. It was a junky antique hutch (china cabinet for those who need it dumbed down) and it is turning into a real nice piece of furniture who will soon call lots of dishes spread throughout my front room and kitchen home! I can't wait. I also can't wait for the fumes to disperse a little more so I don't go to bed with a headache every night. To keep me motivated to finish it, Cody helps me do the maneuvering and sanding and I do the painting and staining. I'm happy with any extra help. I do wish he could do the whole thing but I'm too much of a perfectionist and pretty darn picky so he just says, "you handle it." and I do. Oh and he also bought me the cutest knobs for the drawers and cupboards. It was my "allowance" for like the next three years. haha jk....probably four!
(I've had relatives call me TJ for Tamra Junior. Can't imagine why. ....but I do have a moo moo now just like her. And yes Cody and my Dad both think they are the ugliest things ever.)
Thats it for now. I'm going to attempt sleeping.

Approximately 1 hour
If you like the vintage look of furniture, it's easy to recreate it on an existing desk. Upcycle a thrifty find, or use what you own. Aged Glaze gives a handcrafted, antique look to your wood.
PREP: Coat your desk with Chalked Ultra Matte Paint, following the directions on the can and let it fully cure.
Stir the glaze thoroughly and gently with a stir stick.
APPLY: Over a drop cloth, use a 2" synthetic brush or a 2" foam brush to coat the surface with the Chalked Decorative Glaze. Be certain to apply it in all corners, crevices and raised panel sections.
Using cheesecloth, wipe the surface (using varying pressure) to remove the glaze to a desired look. On wood surfaces, wipe off in the direction of the wood grain.
DRY: Let dry a minimum of 8 hours before applying Rust-Oleum Matte Clear Protective Topcoat. The Clear coat is optional, but highly suggested for optimal service life.

Not many of us may have heard of Goldleaf Restaurant who serve nostalgic Taiwanese Porridge. Even if we heard about them, we may not know that they started in 1971. This year, 2019, the iconic brand celebrates its 48th Anniversary.
Goldleaf Restaurant started whipping the wide variety of timeless Taiwanese dishes at its first outlet in Orchard. They are in the radar when they were at Amoy Street. Now, they have re-homed to 86 East Coast Road, serving the same delicious dishes.
48th Anniversary Promotion
Beside unveiling new dishes to celebrate its 48th Anniversary, Goldleaf Restaurant launched a promotion that offers diners a selection of classic dishes at$5.40 each. Diners can order three out of six dishes.
First out of the six, Golden Fried Mushrooms with Salted Egg, is my personal favourite. Since I love salted egg, it is little wonder why I would recommend this. Generous amount of aromatic salted egg coated the batter of the mushroom. Since it is lightly salted, I could eat it naked without rice or porridge.
Next is the Steamed Pork Patty with Salted Fish which I am surprised for the balance in flavour. Most are overly briny but this wasn't. It was thoughtful of Goldleaf to include a unique vegetables to the promotion, the Tainan Olive Taiwanese Lettuce has an unqiue scent.
Crowd-favourite, Sambal Belacan Flower Clams is the must order. Aromatic fragrance from the sambal but not spicy surely make the dish addictive and will suit the young and the old.
Lastly, the Fried Minced Pork with Olives which is always a good dish with porridge or rice.
Sweet Potato Porridge
The Sweet Potato Porridge ($2.20) at the restaurant is free-flow.
Other Recommended Dishes
There are lots more delicious dishes at Goldleaf. Since I am a sucker for egg, fluffy Omelette with Chye Poh ($11.80) is on my recommended dish.
Crispy Pan-fried Cod with Specialty Sauce (Seasonal Price) is equally delicious. The sweet savoury sauce was the killer.
How could Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables ($18.80) be missing on the table at any porridge restaurant. The meat were fork-tender and has absorbed the essence from the braised.
Finally, worth a mentioned is the Fried Vermicelli. Even if you are opting for porridge, don't missed out on this dish. Using Pami Vermicelli with a good chewiness that isn't too tough provide the best texture. This vermicelli is available at Shell Petrol Kiosk islandwide,
NAHMJ Verdict
With such an attractive offer and furthermore, Goldleaf Restaurant does not use any added MSG their dishes, there is no reason to turn away from. The 48th Anniversary pormotion is available on weekdays for both lunch and dinner till 31 October 2019.

I just bet everything I have that Rag is still raggin', and I don't feel the slightest bit nervous about it.
Rest In Peace, Old Friend.
Besides Stratos, I'm still making the tally count list
*Sandwitching Ragpost to confirm theory*
Back on topic, I'mt thinking of watching one of those let's play. It might be nice to absorb the story, cutscenes, etc without the distraction of Brutal difficulty.

Rest In Peace, Old Friend.
Well, Nissa, LotV:
1. Amon has taken control of the Khala, but it seems his control of it is limited on Aiur. Nobody notices it. Not even Zeratul. At least he never mentions it, even if it meant the death of the Khalai, in essence.
2. Oblivious to this reality, the Khalai finalizes their plans, launched the spear head assault force, creating a beach head on Aiur, and the entire Protoss armada begins their sweep. They take city after city, restored the conduits, and ultimately bring everyone on the surface of Aiur.
3. Amon mind controls the Khalai, one after another. Selendis falls victim, Artanis too. But Zeratul, even with his shadow strike ability, was unable to shadow strike the nerve cords of Artanis before he gets shanked. No development how he got to know, or realize that the Khala is compromised. He just appears to know.
4. Artanis is freed. And meets up with the rest who had their nerve cords cut. Escapes Aiur, with the spear of Adun.
I couldn't remember anything afterward. It seems my brain is trying to reject it like how the Preserver tried to reject Amon. Which was also under developed, and was not given any explanation at least as to why Amon cannot fully control her.
Is amon out of mana, or has he reached max supply cap?
The golden armada went all over the sector, so it's not really limited to Aiur.
That's the thing. It seems his mind control cast range is limited to aiur. But he can send his controlled units to the edge of the map.
Also, when the Artifact vacuumed Amon, at the ending, what was the point of cutting their nerve cords? If Artanis called in the artillery and zeroed before amon reached out again, what then?
My best guess is that the Khala provided the one foothold in the material universe that Amon needed to stay anchored. When the Artifact imploded, there was no foothold left for Amon to cling on to, so he was expelled back to the Void.Also, when the Artifact vacuumed Amon, at the ending, what was the point of cutting their nerve cords? If Artanis called in the artillery and zeroed before amon reached out again, what then?
Had the majority of the Protoss not severed themselves, Amon would have clung on to the Khala, escaping imprisonment to the Void. (I say "Majority" because I severely doubt every single Protoss severed their nerve cords at that moment; there had to be many still off Aiur at that time. But when the majority of the Aiur Protoss severed their cords, the Khala's "footprint" was reduced considerably, leaving nothing substantial for Amon to grasp.)
Aaand sold.
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Global Acetabular Prostheses Market 2019-2023| Advances in Acetabular Prostheses to Boost the Market| Technavio
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 2019--
New market research study by Technavio on the global acetabular prostheses market projects the market to grow at a CAGR of more than 3% during the period 2019-2023. This research report provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue, top drivers and emerging market trends.

Technavio has published a new market research report on the global acetabular prostheses market from 2019-2023. (Graphic: Business Wire)
Advances in acetabular prostheses
The market is witnessing significant increases in hip implantation procedures in terms of materials, surgical techniques, technology, prevention of complications, methods of fixation and sterilization of prostheses, and peri-operative management. Several manufacturers have made significant improvements in implant materials and the processing methods of implanted parts, which have made them long-lasting, dependable, and durable. Manufacturers are using a new type of plastic called highly cross-linked polyethylene to develop acetabular prostheses. This material slows down the wearing out of implants and virtually eliminates osteolysis for up to 10 years after the surgery. Such advances will play an essential role in the growth of the acetabular prostheses market during the forecast period.

Technavio's sample reports are free of charge and contain multiple sections of the report including the market size and forecast, drivers, challenges, trends, and more.
Use of 3D printing technology in acetabular reconstruction
Acetabular cups were earlier manufactured from titanium alloy casting, after which a micro-porous coating was added to the surface. However, presently, 3D printing technology is being increasingly used for the fabrication of acetabular cups as they offer several advantages over conventional manufacturing techniques. 3D printing technologies require only one step to manufacture acetabular cups, which makes it more efficient than traditional techniques. Furthermore, acetabular cups made using 3D printing technologies are more affordable, have a longer life, and reduce the subsequent risk of complications. Such advantages of using 3D printing technology will further increase its adoption during the forecast period.
According to an analyst at Technavio for health care equipment & supplies, "The number of acetabular cup revision procedures has been increasing significantly over the past decade owing to the rising demand for total revision hip replacement procedures. Most of these revision procedures are performed due to failure of the acetabular components. Moreover, the increasing geriatric population and their preference for an active lifestyle will further propel the demand for acetabular cup revision procedures during the forecast period."
Fluctuating raw material prices for synthetic acetabular prostheses
The cost involved in hip replacement procedures and acetabular implants is very high, which is restricting their adoption in many developing and developed countries. Patients may also have a financial burden because of the high chances of revision hip replacement procedures due to infection, and the failure of the acetabular component. Despite such challenges, the number of hip replacement procedures is expected to grow significantly due to the growing prevalence of orthopedic diseases and rapidly increasing geriatric population.

My Story: Highway Girl, An English Girl's Diary, 1670 by Valerie Wilding (Published by Scholastic UK, January 5, 2009)
When Susannah Makepeace's mother dies, she and her older brother, Dominic, are left orphaned and homeless in late 17th century England. Dominic decides to travel to the New World of America in hopes of making his fortune, and so Susannah must go to live with her wealthy, distant cousins, the de Gracys, who have a large estate, Gracy Park. Susannah hates having to live off of the charity of relatives she has never before met, and knows it may be a long time before she is reunited with Dominic.
The de Gracys provide Susannah with a comfortable cottage to live in, but she misses her brother and feels terribly lonely. Her cousin Juliana, who is close in age to Susannah, is haughty and unkind, and Susannah's only friends are Bid, the maid provided for her by the de Gracys, and Ned, a young man who was a friend of her brother and who used to work for the Makepeace family. When Susannah learns that her brother has arrived in America but is very ill, she decides she must somehow obtain enough money to travel there and help him, even if the only way is becoming a highwayman and stealing the money.
Highway Girl is written as Susannah's diary, making it a quick and easy read. Overall it was an enjoyable book, though it does have a few flaws. Despite the title, Susannah becoming a highwayman doesn't occur until late in the book, and so it doesn't play a significant role in the plot of the book, which is mostly about her everyday life in Gracy Park. It was also a little unbelievable how quickly Susannah turned to robbery to help her brother, since it seemed a bit out of character for her, and the ending was a bit abrupt and too perfect. However the book was overall a pleasant read. Although this book is not one of my top favorites from the My Story series, fans of the series should enjoy it.

Apr.13 (GMM) Toto Wolff has not completely denied wanting to make Racing Point a sort of Haas-like 'B team' for Mercedes.
It has emerged that Racing Point will stop working in the Toyota wind tunnel in Cologne after signing a wind tunnel deal with Mercedes.
Racing Point denies becoming an outright Mercedes satellite.
"Our aero department happens to be located in Brackley, and Mercedes' wind tunnel happens to be located in Brackley," said technical boss Andy Green.
"It's a lot easier to go testing in Brackley than it is in Cologne."
But Wolff, the boss at Mercedes, does not hide that the Ferrari-Haas model works.
"Well, we are not doing a Haas-Ferrari model because Haas was a new entry, a team created from scratch. These guys (Racing Point) have existed for a long time," he said.
"Our model is very different. They will be using some of our infrastructure and we will see where that moves for the 2021 regulations.
"Once those are carved out, we will decide which of the areas we want to collaborate and where it is possible, regulatory-wise," Wolff added.
Racing Point not only uses a Mercedes engine and wind tunnel, but also the gearbox and hydraulics.
"I think that's everything that is being discussed for 2021, I think that's all on the agenda," said Green.
"It's where we go forward as a team, thinking ahead for 2021."

Boston Cannons Midfielder and CoachUp lacrosse coach Mike Stone shows how to play on ball defense. Keep offensive players on the sides of the field where there are less high quality shots.
Mike Stone: I'm Mike Stone, midfielder for the Boston Cannons and CoachUp coach.
And this is on ball defense.
Good on ball defense discourages shots, keeping offensive players down the sides of the field, and discouraging them from getting to the middle of the field, where there are more high quality scoring chances.
I do this by using my body to take away the middle of the field and angling myself to encourage the offensive player to go down the alley.
As he approaches me, I want to engage his hip and ride him down the alley, with my stick at his hip. If he tries to roll back to the middle, I lag behind slightly so that I'm in a good position to discourage a rollback, but also if he goes to shoot the ball, I'm in a position where I can reach my stick forward and lift his elbows to make the shot ineffective.
