This post is part of our special coverage SlutWalks 2011/12 [1].
On May 26 and 27, 2012, a number of cities around Brazil were the scene of the second round of protests known as SlutWalks [2].
Calling for women's liberty and the right of women to dress as they want without being the victims of violence or moralism, thousands of women, as well as heterosexual men, gays, transvestites and even members of groups such as bikers, skaters, skinheads, punks and anarchists took to the streets in Brasilia, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Florianópolis, Fortaleza and Belém – amongst other cities – to protest against homophobia and in defence of feminism, or rather, in defence of equality.
Manu Baren, from the blog Jezebel, commented [3] [pt] on what he saw while covering the Walk:
[…] no evento encontrei uma proposta sensata, séria e com objetivos claros alertar e protestar contra a violência contra as mulheres. De todo tipo: desde física até sexual e moral. Fui tocada pela coragem de jovens, mães e senhoras que expuseram para uma multidão as suas histórias sobre abusos que, em alguns casos, levaram à morte.
The SlutWalk originated in Canada, when on April 3rd 2011 thousands of women protested in Toronto against the declarations made by police officer Michael Sanguinetti following a series of cases of sexual abuse in the city, stating that women should avoid dressing like sluts in order to avoid becoming victims of rape.
Since then, similar protests have taken place around the world with women dressed in short skirts or even half-naked and affirming that this does not mean that they would like to or give their permission to be raped or abused.
Following the example of the previous year [5], Global Voices has selected a series of photos from protests in various Brazilian cities. More than three thousand protestors attended the event in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, more than a thousand in São Paulo, and hundreds in each of the other cities.
In São Paulo the Walk covered 3 kilometres, passing along the famous Rua Augusta, a meeting point for alternative groups and the location of various brothels and artistic venues.
Two videos of the protest in São Paulo: the first by Manu Barem and Thiago Guimarães contains sections of the speeches made at the beginning of the Walk and scenes of the Walk itself, and the second contains scenes of the Walk and the slogans shouted by the protestors:
In Rio de Janeiro, the protest took place in Copacabana with hundreds of people attending.
Video from YouTube user vecosi [12] of the Walk in Rio de Janeiro:
The streets of Belo Horizonte were also taken over by protestors on 26 May.
Youtube user raquelpinheirocintra [16] recorded this video during the Walk in Belo Horizonte:
In Brasília the Walk passed through the very centre of Brazilian power.
More photos from the SlutWalk in Brasilia on the Walk's official profile [20] on Facebook. YouTube user kyaya1 [21] recorded a series of videos of the Walk: this is part 4 [22].
A small but lively protest also took place in Belém on May 27.
More photos from the SlutWalk in Belém on the official profile [25] on Facebook and a video [26] from Youtube user Zemafarias [27].
Protests also took place in Fortaleza, São Luis and Vitória.
Youtube user naainai [31] recorded a short video [32] of the Walk in Vitória.
In Recife, more than 1,100 people came out into the streets to protest. Photos of the Walk can be found [33] [pt] on the blog Literatura clandestina (Clandestine literature) and on the Walk's Facebook group [34]. Blogger Lúcio Mustafá [35] recorded a video of the Walk in Recife. More photos on the Flickr [36] account of Leo Cisneiros.
The Walk also took place in Florianópolis.
Finally, on Sunday 27 the SlutWalk took over Porto Alegre.
Youtube users ElbaOliveira1 [43] and mayluka09 [44] recorded videos of manifesto readings in São José dos Campos in the São Paulo province, as did lalgarra [45] in Sorocaba from where photos can be viewed [46] on the Walk's Facebook group. The Foque Collective [47] recorded a video [48] of the Walk in Natal and avmandrade [49] recorded the Walk [50] in Salvador.

Hail may cause significant damage to your roof. It isn't always easy to detect. The larger the hail the heavier the impact to your shingles and siding.
Damage to your asphalt/fiberglass roof may resemble a fist punched into sand. This causes the granules to be displaced and weakens the asphalt which over time will give way to probable leaking.
If you're noticing dents and dings in your aluminum roof vents that may be your first sign that there is reason for concern.
We are happy to come out and do a free inspection of potential problems.
If you have aluminum siding the evidence of dents and dings may be very prominent depending on the size of hail and wind force.
Vinyl siding may show signs of cracking or breaking. This could lead to moisture getting behind the siding and causing problems down the line.
In most instances your insurance company may cover fully or partially the cost of needed work for repair or replacement. After verifying with your insurance company, call Chess Roofing & Siding for a free evaluation and estimate of the work to be done.
Remember, you may always call Chess Roofing & Siding when you have questions regarding your roof or siding.

From the toothpaste taste to falling tiers, we have seen and heard about the harrowing cake tales. However, we need not forget that just like that floral centrepiece on the tables, the cake is the centrepiece of any wedding. It will be talked about years after the wedding thus the need to see to it that your cakes look reflects its taste.
But the downfall is that many couples either over dream or skip some crucial things when it comes to this wedding item.
Asha Batenga, a baker, says that there is a need to pick a cake style that will suit your wedding. Diana Kigozi of Diana Cakes says a theme is necessary here. "You may go with a rustic semi-naked cake if your theme is rustic. However, it would be a disaster to host a black-tie wedding with the same cake style." She therefore advises couples to handle cake after decisions of dress style, and decor to guide the style of the occasion. She mentions that the cake should be part of the wedding rather than stick out like a soar thumb.
Nonetheless, Batenga advises couples not to stick with their colour themes because while they may work well with outdoor functions, the colours will disappear within the decor if the function is indoors. "Themes such as white and gold can never go wrong regardless of the theme and colour pattern."
The issue of themed cakes may get out of hand when one chooses a character for their wedding cake. "Many want to stand out hence characters such as Captain Marvel because they love it. However, this is a wedding cake not a birthday cake," Batenga advised. Others may go for a wedding cake moulded like themselves but she advises against it saying," For some of the attendees, cutting 'yourself' scares them."
Batenga adds that one of the things that fail couples is payment. "Many think that they can pay the last deposit for their cake after the wedding. This is something bakers are running away from as many have had to go through a rat race before getting their money if they ever get it." No wonder some people never see their cakes at all and heap the blame on the baker. It, therefore, goes without saying that couples need to finish up payment if they are to see a cake at their function.
More disaster arises with regards to flavour as couples fail to see that a cake slice is not the same as a wedding cake. For example, Batenga mentions that some love red velvet but with the heat, the milk cheese within this flavour will taste like spoilt milk. "It will not appeal to your guests. Some may go with chocolate mint but your guests may complain about a toothpaste taste owing to the mint." She therefore advises against these as well as Black Forest because it is very soft hence not working for a tiered cake as it will collapse.
Identify a baker: To avoid these design and style mishaps, Kigozi advises that you pick a baker that you would like to work with. "They will advise you on the payment schedule, design, style, and flavour."
Cake tasting: In order to deal with flavour mishaps, Batenga advises that the couple goes for cake tasting. "The baker you have chosen should be able to tell you what is ideal or trending so that you make an informed decision."
Weather: As earlier mentioned, some flavours are spoilt by heat. As such, discuss with your baker the ideal flavour as well as frosting to avoid melting in case of intense heat. But on second thought, you may want to stick with a fondant covered cake seeing that it withstands well for tiered cakes and our weather is usually unpredictable.
Start early: With several things influencing the design and style of your cake, Kigozi says it is important for the couple to iron out issues such as venue and themes. "That way, there will be less back and forth between the couple and the baker in regards to changes to be made to the cake."
Cost: With payments a crucial reason why a couple may actually never see a cake on their wedding day, it is imperative that they discuss with the baker to ensure that they work within their means. For example, if a couple desires to have sugar flowers on their cake, the cost will increase greatly. Therefore, going for real flowers with just a few sugar flower accents will lower the cost.
Get inspiration: Couples ought to work with their baker for inspiration towards their cake. "It could be that the couple loves nature or the seaside. When such a cake is made for them, it is memorable," Joseph Bukenya, of Cake Studio, advises. You could also look at cake images, the bridal dress and the like for inspiration.
All in all, Batenga reminds couples that in Africa, the wedding is for the community. "Therefore, rather than have the notion of, 'it is my wedding so do as I please' when doing certain things or making some decisions, you need to consider those people that contributed towards the wedding or raised you. Otherwise, the wedding would have been just you and your spouse."

7 mistakes to avoid when choosing a builder
Structure and renovating is not something that we do very often, so it goes without stating that choosing a builder can be a challenging decision with significant effects if you get it wrong. By preventing these common mistakes you're more likely to enjoy a stress free build and get rid of budget plan blow outs.
Choosing the incorrect sort of builder
Rather merely, if you are extending or refurbishing you ought to just be talking to builders who are experienced in extensions and restorations, and, if you are building a new home you should only be speaking with builders who are experienced in new houses. The very best new house builder in town might be the worst choice to construct your extension because there is a lot different about an extension that can quickly catch out a builder without that experience. It is not uncommon for brand-new home builders to present competitive quotes for extension and restoration tasks; nevertheless that is typically because they don't have the experience to prepare a quote that properly deals with the intricacies of an extension
Not getting thorough quotes
Far too many people select a builder based upon quotes that have a lot of essential products missing out on and that are not transparent. No matter how detailed and exhaustive the drawings might appear, there will generally be a great deal of things missing out on from the illustrations that the builder needs to prepare a comprehensive quote.
If the contractors have just been provided with plans to prepare their quote there is a high probability that there will be a lot of crucial products missing from the quote and a very high possibility that will result in additional costs and potential conflict with the builder. To prevent this you need to always provide the builders with a detailed Inclusions Schedule along with the drawings. Additions Schedule's, like ProSpex ensure you comprehend exactly what will be consisted of in the quote, assurances that the quotes you receive will be even more comprehensive and transparent, making it much easier for everyone involved to compare 'apples with apples'
Assuming that the least expensive quote is the best price
It is just natural to be drawn to the quote that will save you some money, but if that quote is substantially less expensive than the other quotes then you need to be extremely mindful before you choose that builder. A grouping of similar quotes must be providing you some ideas as to what the ideal price is to finish the task. Selecting a builder that has provided a quote that is considerably less than other quotes may result in future issues if in fact the builder has actually made an error with the quote. The last thing you desire is for the builder to take shortcuts and charge for variations down the track
Not comprehending lingo in the quote
There are a few terms that you absolutely need to understand when examining quotes. If you don't, you will be exposed to a greater threat of additional expenses during construction and your budget plan blowing out. There are 2 essential terms that will be critical in your evaluation of quotes.
For example, when you see 'Prime Cost' items and 'Provisional Sums' noted you have to comprehend that they are allowances only and whilst the builder has a duty to consist of figures that are practical, there is also a substantial variety in the cost of numerous products that might be thought about practical. For example, a toilet can be purchased for $250 yet there are likewise toilets available for over 3000. You must be especially alert if a quote has a lot of Provisional Sums in it, as Provisional Sums are sometimes utilized to make a quote appearance competitive when in fact it might really be really misleading. Adam Hobill's book, Nail It!, goes into a lot more detail on why it's so important to comprehend Provisional Sums
Not talking to existing customers
It's easy for home builders to offer you the details of a number of clients who they know have actually been happy with their services; and because of that asking contractors for recommendations is a little a waste of time as they are only going to offer you information of individuals who will say the best thing. Instead, you 'd be better recommended to ask the builder for the contact details of a few present clients. Existing clients will provide you feedback that is less contrived and better as they are still immersed while doing so
Unknowning who you'll be dealing with
Some home builders will prepare the quote and be the main builder on website day to day, whilst some structure business will have a team of people and the person who prepares and provides the quote may not be your primary contact throughout the construct … you might never ever see them throughout the remainder of the process. You're going to be handling your builder for numerous months and a close working relationship will be critical to guarantee a successful outcome, so make sure you comprehend who it is that you will be handling from day to day
Not knowing what is left out from the quote
Among the best methods to clarify what is consisted of in the quote is to ask the builder to validate exactly what is left out from the quote. A bit like reverse engineering, it is a great way to discover any of those items that might have been assumed by either party are either included or left out. Lighting, for instance, often produces confusion and ends in dispute if it is not explained at the start. A builder might estimate for lights, however that will often just include the batten fitting (globe holder) and no light fittings, whereas the customer is most likely anticipating that light fittings are included

Dear Parents and Guardians of MMS Cubs:
Thank you very much for your input, questions, patience and understanding as we continue to prepare for the upcoming school year under these challenging and evolving conditions. As Dr. Bailey's recent email indicated, Moscow High School and Moscow Middle School will not be playing interscholastic sports this fall. This was a very difficult decision, determined to be in the best interests and safety of our student athletes. Now that we have committed to an intramural style sports season, we are quickly making adjustments and well be notifying you by Wednesday this week what each of our programs will look like. Please look for a dedicated sports related email at that time.
As you know, we are preparing for both online-only and hybrid forms of lesson delivery. I have received many additional questions over the past several days as families are deciding the most appropriate model for them. Many of these questions understandably are about school operations and the safety thereof. As we work to finalize plans related to health and safety I offer the following information, summarizing answers to concerns that have been expressed:
All of the above apply to a student's experience from the time they arrive at school (or get on a bus, if a bus rider) to when they leave. We will be working to fine tune our processes and procedures at each school over the next couple of weeks to meet current guidelines. Several guidance documents have been uploaded to the school website with more to come as we continue our committee work and work in the schools.
Please contact me right away if you have additional questions.

In Hyperbolicity, CAT(-1)-spaces and the Ptolemy Inequality, there is a short proof of a simple statement:
Let $(X, d)$ be an arbitrary metric space. Then $(X, \sqrt{d})$ satisfies the Ptolemy inequality.
Where the Potlemy Inequality is
Let $w, x, y, z$ be points in a space. For a Ptolemaic Distance $d$, the following inequality holds: $d(w, y) \cdot d(x, z) \leq d(w, x) \cdot d(y, z) + d(w, z) \cdot d(x, y)$
See also on Wikipedia.
From here on, let $p_1 = d(w, y), p_2 = d(x, z)$ and $q_1 = d(w, x), q_2 = (x, y), q_3 = d(y, z), q_4 = d(z, w)$
Question 1:
The proof begins by stating that it only needs to show this property:
$\begin{equation} \sqrt{p_1p_2} \leq \sqrt{q_1 q_3} \sqrt{q_2 q_4} \end{equation}$
Now, you may notice that this almost equals the definitions for the ptolemaic inequality given above, except that the right hand side is now a product instead of a sum. Thus, in my mind, the implication
$ \sqrt{p_1p_2} \leq \sqrt{q_1 q_3} \sqrt{q_2 q_4} \implies \sqrt{p_1p_2} \leq \sqrt{q_1 q_3} + \sqrt{q_2 q_4}$,
where the latter inequality is actually the ptolemaic inequality, is only valid if
$ \sqrt{q_1 q_3} \sqrt{q_2 q_4} \leq \sqrt{q_1 q_3} + \sqrt{q_2 q_4}$, which is not true generally and only for restricted ratios of the two roots, visualized here. However, this restricted ratio does not apply here: If we fix $q_1$ and $q_2$ and grow $q_3$ arbitrarily large, $q_4$ also grows arbitrarily large. For a concrete example, if $q_i = 5$, the implication already doesn't work.
So why is it sufficient to show the inequality with products?
Interlude: Proof Details
To understand the proof, I broke it down into very simple steps:
- wlog, $p_1 \leq q_1 + q_2 \leq q_3 + q_4$ (From the triangle inequality)
wlog, $p_2 \leq q_2 + q_3 \leq q_1 + q_4$ (From the triangle inequality)
Define $p_1' = q_1 + q_2$.
- Now, $p_1' \geq p_1$ by definition (1).
- Define $p_2' = q_2 + q_3$.
Now, $p_2' \geq p_2$ by definition (2).
Choose (wlog) $q_4'$ such that:
- $q_3 + q_4' = q_1 + q_2$
- $q_2 + q_3 \leq q_1 + q_4'$
By (1) and (7.1), $q_4' \leq q_4$
- $q_1 - q_3 = q_4' - q_2$ by (7.1)
- $q_3 - q_1 \leq q_4' - q_2$ by (7.2)
- $-(q_1 - q_3) \leq q_4' - q_2$, identical to previos point.
- $q_4' - q_2$ is positive, by (9.1) and (9.3).
- $q_4' q_2$ from previous point.
Define $\epsilon := q_1 - q_3$.
From (9.1) and (10.1), deduce
- $\epsilon \geq 0$
- $q_1 \geq q_3$
Also, note that $q_1 = q_3 + \epsilon$, identical to (11).
- Furthermore, $q_4' = q_2 + \epsilon$ by (13) and (9.1).
From here, the proof is nearly done. From nowhere, it gives the (obviously correct) inequality
$2q_2q_3 \leq 2\sqrt{q_3(q_3 + \epsilon)q_2(q_2+\epsilon)}$
Question 2:
Then, the claim is made that the previous inequality implies ($\implies$)
$ \sqrt{(q_2+q_3+\epsilon)(q_2+q_3)} \leq \sqrt{q_3(q_3 + \epsilon)} + \sqrt{q_2(q_2+\epsilon)} $
Which I can't follow at all. Why does this follow from the previous inequality? Again, theres the strange change from addition to multiplication.
This happens once more when that inequality is said to be equivalent ($\Leftrightarrow$) to
$\sqrt{p_1'p_2'} \leq \sqrt{q_1 q_3} \sqrt{q_2 q_4}$
Now, I can see how the roots simplify individually, but there is, again, this change of operator. Since there is a claim of equivalence between those two, I believe this would imply that $\sqrt{q_1 q_3} \sqrt{q_2 q_4} = \sqrt{q_1 q_3} + \sqrt{q_2 q_4} $, wouldn't it? And that seems quite clearly nonsensical to me.
Finally, that last inequality implies the one I asked about in Question 1 - this is clear to me. It is those steps in between, particularly the change of operators, which confuses me greatly.
Thank you!

A Florida police officer is going viral thanks to an adorable moment between him and his daughter.
Alex Kipp was returning from a days work with the Orlando Police Department when he spotted his 10-month-old daughter, Talynn, ABC News reports.
In the clip, the baby girl is playing in a bright red toy car wagon when the dad walks up behind her with his police lights on in the background.
He then jokingly asks for "license, registration, and proof of insurance." In return, the 10-month-old gave her police officer father a giggle.
Kipp says:
"I don't think this is a laughing matter, Ma'am. This is not funny."
Thankfully, Orlando police wrote on Twitter that the toddler was let off with "just a warning."
Watch the video of the police officer and his daughter below:
OPD Officer Alex Kipp was returning home from work when he pulled over his daughter Talynn for driving on the wrong side of the road. When asked for her license, registration, and proof of insurance, Talynn laughed at Officer Kipp and was subsequently let go with just a warning. pic.twitter.com/CIjyEhv02c

Perhaps the most common compound throughout pure solutions, vital natural skin oils are widely-used typically by way of breathing as well as by simply relevant request involving diluted gas. Since these kind of natural skin oils are generally consequently easily accessible on the general public Tinh dau thuc vat Dai Phu An, a lot of people inaccurately suppose that will zero certain know-how as well as coaching can be have tried them. However, there are several whom choose this oversight. A number of get go through somewhat with regards to aromatherapy, or possibly a close friend as well as company features instructed these people a selected gas is useful for this specific as well as that will. Nevertheless vital natural skin oils might cause troubles in case applied inaccurately. The amount do you really be familiar with these kind of highly effective botanicals?
A number of get go through somewhat with regards to aromatherapy, or possibly a close friend as well as company features instructed these people a selected gas is useful for this specific as well as that will. Nevertheless vital natural skin oils might cause troubles in case applied inaccurately. The amount do you really be familiar with these kind of highly effective botanicals?
Exactly what Vital Natural skin oils?
Vital natural skin oils are generally remarkably centred beverages taken via seed material-bark, all types of berries, bouquets, foliage, root base, vegetables, as well as twigs-that are generally produced in several unique approaches.
The commonest can be water distillation, through which pressurised water can be handed down by way of seed product, producing natural skin oils for you to escape out and about. Your ending mix of gas along with water can be reduced into a new liquefied, plus the gas can be skimmed off of.
Plant life which have been way too sensitive pertaining to water distillation, including jasmine, red floral, along with went up by, will surely have his or her natural skin oils taken employing solvents. Natural skin oils manufactured by this procedure are generally named absolutes and tend to be employed in perfume as well as diffusers for the reason that solvent deposit creates many faulty pertaining to relevant employ.
1 / 3 process can be fractional co2 removal. Even though these kind of natural skin oils are generally formally absolutes, your pressurised fractional co2 applied as being a solvent foliage zero unsafe deposit plus results in a new larger gas which has a additional spherical scent.
Last but not least, cold-pressed vital natural skin oils are generally people with been recently taken via berries rind by simply farming along with important the idea.
Nearly all vital natural skin oils will not have the indefinite space lifestyle: citrus natural skin oils will suffer his or her usefulness immediately after with regards to few months, alot of flowery natural skin oils last 12 months or perhaps a pair of. A new few-cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, along with vetiver-become greater using get older. You'll be able to refrigerate natural skin oils you do not employ generally. It is usually recommended that you keep these people faraway from sun rays, throughout smaller baby bottles using a lesser amount of air flow place.
Determine what You happen to be Receiving
The process involving generation is definitely one particular component impacting on the high quality along with price tag of such organic ingredients. People add the rarity in the seed, precisely how along with wherever it turned out produced, what number of plant life are needed to generate your gas, plus the good quality criteria in the company.
Legitimate went up by gas, by way of example, is quite high-priced. This can be since it will require 190 fat involving tulips (approximately 62, 000 flowers) to generate 1 oz . involving went up by gas. That will compatible 40 tulips for the one decline! Should you be paying out below $80 for the 5-milliliter package involving went up by gas, it can be sometimes manufactured as well as many experts have diluted which has a service provider gas including jojoba. Getting diluted gas can be correctly satisfactory when you determine what you happen to be receiving. Respected companies are going to be beforehand with regards to no matter whether his or her solutions are offered by now diluted. A lesser amount of respected companies could possibly be offering the adulterated mixture (for case in point, hardly any went up by gas mixed with more affordable went up by geranium oil) along with professing it can be totally went up by gas.
You'll want to be aware that distinct models of a similar seed will surely have distinct employs. By way of example, high-altitude This particular language lavender can be generally employed in natural skin care solutions, even though Bulgarian as well as Uk lavender is utilized throughout bath tub solutions, diffusers, as well as as being a snooze assist. Your assortment named surge lavender can be larger throughout camphor, which in turn gives the respiratory system positive aspects. Lavandin is often a a mix of both involving Uk lavender along with surge lavender, along with "40/42" is often a mixture of numerous versions that may be worked out using manufactured lavender gas along with utilised by a lot of soapmakers.
Perhaps a similar seed could develop commonly distinct natural skin oils. Decades previously, My spouse and i acquired a brandname involving ginger gas i observed quite unsatisfying. The idea don't genuinely aroma similar to ginger. The idea has not been until eventually quite a while after, while i got figured out additional with regards to vital natural skin oils, i understood I had created acquired the gas made out of dried up ginger actual as an alternative to fresh new. Exactly what a big difference!
My spouse and i recommend getting vital natural skin oils merely via respected vendors that will are experts in aromatherapy items. However, you'll find firms around that will really rely additional in over-the-top boasts when compared with in the standard of his or her solutions while others that will offer manufactured perfume within the guise involving oil. Here are a couple warning to observe pertaining to while deciding on a product or service.
Grading Guile
Though vital natural skin oils accomplish get beneficial price, you'll find zero regulating criteria because of their generation with out standard qualities involving gas are generally allocated as well as identified by just about any corporation. Companies along with vendors whom assert his or her natural skin oils are generally "therapeutic grade" are choosing this specific as being a promoting time period merely, in fact it is incomprehensible just as one indication in the oil's good quality.
Manufactured Substitution
Though many of us employ aromatherapy for you to necessarily mean your beneficial using vital natural skin oils, the saying is just not basically outlined as well as managed by simply the us government. Therefore, it can be authorized to trade solutions described "aromatherapy" that certainly not incorporate vital natural skin oils, nevertheless merely manufactured perfume.
Manufactured perfume could possibly be defined with a brand while "aroma gas, " "aromatic gas, " "fragrance gas, " as well as "perfume gas. " These are generally most blended thoroughly manufactured bouquets which have been diluted using mineral gas, propylene glycol, as well as plant gas and might in addition incorporate phthalates and also other perhaps harmful substances. Synthetics are generally very much more affordable when compared with vital natural skin oils, along with his or her smell is really a lot better. If you go walking prior a new wax luminous keep which enable it to aroma your candle via outside the house, that may be manufactured perfume. There are many involving plant life that will is not employed to develop vital natural skin oils: examples are generally gardenia, lilac, along with lily in the vly. So-called vital natural skin oils sold underneath these kind of labels are generally often manufactured.
Source of nourishment Junk
A number of vendors create your declare that his or her vital natural skin oils produce vitamins on the system. This can be another thing these kind of natural skin oils cannot accomplish. Robert Tisserand, the most well known aromatherapists along with publisher in the Art work involving Aromatherapy (Healing Martial arts Click, 1978), the 1st English-language e-book for the theme, affirms, "What vitamins? Vital natural skin oils tend not to incorporate vitamins. That they incorporate zero supplements, vitamins, aminoacids, proteins, glucose, as well as some other sort of source of nourishment. " Boasts the natural skin oils could treat disease-even cancer-are in addition unsubstantiated by simply scientific disciplines, and you ought to be suspicious involving just about any vendors happy to create this sort of boasts with regards to his or her solutions.
In case you wish to employ vital natural skin oils, it can be important to think of these people similar to some other curing instrument: find suitable lessons in his or her employ, extensively analysis contraindications along with friendships.. Similar to everything else that could be used on the entire body, vital natural skin oils could very well bring about injury. Don't forget, "natural" won't routinely necessarily mean a product or service can be delicate as well as safe and sound. And they also must not ever before be taken inside the camera if you do not are generally within the proper care of an accredited health care aromatherapist that is certainly not only a licenses granted in the us.
You'll find natural skin oils that will must not be suited for somebody using substantial body force along with natural skin oils that will connect to selected prescription drugs. Cypress along with rosemary might be unsafe if the female can be expecting a baby as well as nursing jobs. And a few vital natural skin oils, including wintergreen, could be dangerous in case swallowed.
The most widespread along with unsafe beliefs can be that will vital natural skin oils works extremely well cool (undiluted along with employed straight away to your skin) throughout natural skin care. My spouse and i are not able to point out ample until this can be clearly disappointed by simply primary aromatherapists along with most respected companies along with vendors. Zero oil need to ever before be used cool throughout skin color care-not their tea woods, certainly not lavender, n't any various other form of oil.
While these kind of natural skin oils are generally employed cool, a lot of people can have an instant as well as overdue impulse, which often can cover anything from using, soreness, as well as bloating for you to quite significant along with critical wellbeing implications. People are going to be unaffected-at 1st. Since gas would seem safe and sound, that they carry on and apply it. After a while, this specific will cause your skin layer for being sensitive fot it oil plus the seed the idea emanates from, which has a longer-term, cumulative influence. While you do, not simply will certainly you struggle to employ that will gas yet again, that they will not be capable to employ various other solutions as well as food which have been in connection with the idea.
Right using vital natural skin oils pertaining to relevant request often calls for dilution, normally at the energy involving 6-15 lowers involving oil for every oz . involving no matter what product or service it can be staying combined with.
Citrus natural skin oils are generally good examples involving what sort of amazing gas might be unsafe in case applied inaccurately. These kind of natural skin oils get antiseptic components along with mixture effectively using various other solutions, nevertheless a lot of citrus natural skin oils bring about photosensitivity, along with clientele need to stay away from sunlight pertaining to 12-72 a long time immediately after direct exposure. Moreover, since citrus vital natural skin oils are set up while using cold-pressed process, it will have records involving pesticide inside gas if you do not are generally watchful to acquire natural and organic. Lastly, no matter whether citrus gas can be natural and organic as well as certainly not, it is usually aggravating on the skin color. For that reason, make sure you put citrus natural skin oils just to solutions that is to be rinsed off of, including soaps, to never a new moisturizer as well as some other product or service that will stick to your skin layer.

Help with College: A Gift for Your Grandkids
College graduates generally earn more, have lower rates of unemployment, lead healthier lifestyles, and are more active citizens than those without a degree.1 One estimate places the lifetime value of a bachelor's degree at $2.8 million.2
That kind of opportunity requires a substantial investment that can be overwhelming even for families who are on solid financial ground. For the 2017–18 academic year, the average annual cost for tuition, fees, room, and board was $20,770 at a four-year public university and $46,950 at a nonprofit private university.3
Helping a grandchild obtain a college degree could be life-changing for the student and bring joy to you as well. However, to maximize the gift, it's important to consider the potential ramifications for student aid and taxes.
Consider the FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the standard application for need-based student aid. Some schools also require additional, more detailed applications. A direct gift to your student would be included under the student's income and savings on the FAFSA and may have an outsized effect on aid.
Depending on the size of your gift and the student's other sources of funding, you might consider waiting until his or her senior year of college, after all financial aid has been finalized. Or you could wait until graduation and help pay back student loans.
Giving to the parents rather than the student is also an option. Parent resources must be entered on the FAFSA but generally count for significantly less than student resources in financial aid calculations. Under the federal aid formula, students must contribute 20% of their assets each year toward college costs, and parents must contribute about 5.6% of their assets or less, depending on their situation.
Gift Taxes
The gift tax would probably not be an issue unless you plan very large gifts over your lifetime. In 2018, you may contribute $15,000 ($30,000 combined if you're married) to any number of individuals without being subject to the gift tax. Gifts above the annual exclusion may be applied toward the combined lifetime gift and estate tax exemption, which is $11.18 million in 2018 ($22.36 million for a married couple). Tuition (but not room and board charges) paid directly to the school is not subject to the gift tax, but any such payments would likely reduce need-based financial aid.
Be sure to consult a tax professional if you have questions about gift or estate taxes.
Types of 529 Plans
Saving for Future College Costs
With today's costs of a college education sharply rising, a 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings plan that can help save for future college expenses. Introduced in 1996, 529 plans are sponsored by states, state agencies, or educational institutions and may vary slightly between states.
Money invested in 529 plans grows tax-deferred, so there are no state or federal taxes when the money is withdrawn for qualified higher education expenses. Below is information about the two types of 529 plans: college savings plans and prepaid tuition plans.
College Savings Plans
College savings plans give a range of investment vehicles to choose from when investing your savings contributions for a designated beneficiary. Your 529 account balance will rise and fall depending on the investment performance within the market, much like a typical investment account. There is no specified enrollment period for college savings plans and they can be established at any time.
Prepaid Tuition Plans
Prepaid tuition plans allow for the pre-purchase of credits for a beneficiary's college tuition costs associated with participating in-state universities. Many prepaid tuition plans can also be converted for private or out-of-state institutions. Pre-payment of tuition allows you to lock-in the current tuition rates now in order to avoid higher prices in the future. Prepaid tuition plans can only be established during set enrollment periods.
529 plans can help you start saving early for future education costs. Investors should review the two types above in order to determine the most suitable plan for the designated beneficiary.
Money Lessons to Teach Your Kids
Children as young as three-years-old can understand basic money concepts. By setting a positive financial example and teaching good money habits early, parents can influence their children to lead healthy financial lives. Here are three money lessons to teach your kids.
Teach children the concept of delayed gratification and the benefits of waiting to buy something they really want. Avoiding an "open wallet" policy as a parent while encouraging financial discipline will help kids learn to budget and save for future wants and needs, instead of spending all their money on an impulse. Older children may benefit from seeing an online compound interest calculator to learn how their savings can grow over time.
Teach children money is a finite resource and everything bought comes with an opportunity cost. In today's world of swiping credit cards and using Apple Pay with the tap of a wrist, it can be less obvious to children where money really comes from. The old saying "money doesn't grow on trees" still rings true – you must prioritize, plan, and save for the things you want to buy.
Teach children charitable giving to help cultivate a spirit of generosity and giving back to those in need. Parents and their children can decide as a family what cause or charity to support based on unique interests or specific community needs. In doing so, children will develop a greater social awareness and learn every little bit, no matter how small, can make a positive impact on the world and others less fortunate.
Back-to-School Expenses
Planning for a New School Year
As school season ramps up, shopping commercials will become more prevalent as parents and their children start planning for the next school year. Below are strategies to keep in mind as you navigate back-to-school expenses.
Set a Budget
According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), $3.4 billion was projected to be spent on backpacks alone in 2017. Take the time to calculate the amount of funds you can set aside for your shopping trip. If you plan ahead, you should be more relaxed when shopping.
Create a Priority List
Once your budget is set, sit down with your student(s) and determine what items will be listed as "needs" and what items will be listed as "wants." Having this list while shopping should give you a roadmap for what stores to visit and an estimate of how your budget will match up. At this point, you should be able to determine if your budget meets or exceeds your expenses.
Sales Tax Holiday
Research if your state offers a Sales Tax Holiday. On that date, you may be able to shop within categories for items that will be free of state and local taxes.
Used Textbooks
For college-aged students, textbooks may be one of the largest expenses behind tuition and room/board. Companies such as Chegg or Barnes and Noble offer rentals and/or used textbooks for a fraction of the price of purchasing new textbooks. If shopping for used textbooks, be sure to check the version of publishing before purchase. Otherwise, you may have the burden of needing to track down the correct page number for assignments.
The long lines and bin diving will be enough to deal with on your shopping trip. Plan ahead and do research before heading out.
As the New School Year Approaches
Summertime is coming to an end and back to school we go. Please pray for everyone during this 2019 school year, the administration, teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, lunch room staff, custodians and students. May this year be one of the best!

Beiqi Panthers in the car to communicate with the company, expressed full confidence in our company, cooperation is very smooth. Since the boiler departure two years, our technical staff has been concerned about the relevant boiler operation through remote monitoring system to provide strong and stable technical support services for the Beijing auto Panthers. --customer feedback
Methods and characteristics of steam boiler water treatment
The steam boiler water treatment method has the boiler outside and the furnace also called the pot inside and outside the pot. Generally, for steam boilers and steam-steam boilers larger than 2t/h, the chemical water treatment outside the furnace should be adopted as far as possible, on the other hand, the steam boiler can only be treated with medicine in the furnace, but other means should be adopted to ensure the quality of water quality.
Leakage impact on the economy and safety of boiler operation? Hazard of air leakage in different parts of the boiler caused not identical. But no matter what part of the leakage, the gas volume will be increased, so that the loss of exhaust gas increases, so that electrical energy consumption is increased suction. If serious leakage, smoke machines have been open to the maximum prescribed negative pressure can not be maintained (the furnace flue), was forced to reduce the air volume, make incomplete combustion heat loss increases, increasing the possibility of slag knot, even We had to limit the boiler output.
Steam boiler hot economical commercial water boiler machine to common problems with rapid cooling rate and heat capacity of the temperature difference with a smaller two major advantages, which can increase the range of applications of heat transfer equipment unit, designed to increase the scope of process design heat transfer operation, and offers the possibility of some previous designs by heat, or thermal heat transfer rate limitations, such as small temperature difference heat recovery, cooling temperature difference is small, quick and precise temperature control and the like. So that it is possible, due to the plate heat exchanger are thin, although the heat exchanger. It should minimize the thermal deviation of each parallel tube heat set, for return into the boiler system should be taken to adjust the allocation. For general low temperature hot water boilers, hot water flow, the natural distribution may be employed, i.e. the amount of water entering each of the parallel pipes is set according to the size of the case and the heat resistance of each line of the natural distribution tube groups. NATURAL distribution structure is simple, but the difference in the safety and reliability of operation of the boiler, boiler for hot water, a relatively small amount of water, the natural distribution should not be used, but should be adjusted using the dispensing valve, according to the size of the heat pipe heat load group, the respective supply circulating water, to ensure that each parallel circuit outlet water temperature or less. In this case, the respective bias circuits outlet temperature within 10 degrees Celsius. Hot water boiler heating remodeled inner tube must maintain a certain flow rate to ensure that the heated cooling tube, to prevent oxygen corrosion and deposition of impurities in the water. For the downstream heat pipes should maintain sufficient water velocity. After the modification, should minimize stagnant water regions within the drum, particularly at the ends of the drum, or likely to cause oxygen corrosion, in order to precipitate and remove the water gas, the exhaust gas should be provided at the highest point of the respective loop boiler valve. When converted into a forced circulation hot water boilers, it shall be provided to prevent a sudden power outage, causing water vapor pot of measures to stop the pump.

Amend the title so as to read: A bill to direct the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to issue guidance regarding the acquisition of property for open space as a flood mitigation measure, and for other purposes. PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION H.R. 1735, as amended, directs the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to issue guidance regarding the acquisition of property for open space as a flood mitigation measure. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION Federal Emergency Management Agency: History FEMA was established in 1979 by Executive Order 12148 by President Jimmy Carter in response to a number of massive disasters in the 1960's and 1970's. As a result of individual states trying to manage these disasters, the National Governors Association and others made a proposal to streamline and cut the number of agencies states were required to work with following a disaster. Prior to the creation of FEMA, the federal government's emergency response mechanisms were scattered among many agencies throughout government. The creation of FEMA helped to centralize these authorities and the coordination of the federal government's response to a disaster. The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-288), which constituted the statutory authority for most federal disaster response activities, especially of FEMA, was later amended by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, also known as the Stafford Act (P.L. 100-707). Following more than two decades as an independent agency, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and placed FEMA within DHS, dispersing FEMA's functions among various offices and directorates within DHS. In 2006, following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the intensive Congressional investigations and oversight, Congress enacted the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-295), which addressed key response roles and authorities and reconstituted FEMA within DHS. Disaster mitigation Disaster mitigation includes actions taken to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Effective mitigation acts to minimize the potential loss from a disaster based on identifying and understanding the risks in a given area or community. Mitigation can encompass a wide variety of activities, including preparation and planning, elevating or moving structures prone to flooding, hardening structures to mitigate effects of hurricanes or earthquakes, and establishing building codes and zoning ordinances. Mitigation not only saves lives but has been shown to also reduce disaster costs by minimizing damage from a disaster. For example, pursuant to a requirement of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) completed an analysis of the reduction in federal disaster assistance as a result of mitigation efforts.\1\ That study examined mitigation projects funded from 2004 to mid-2007. CBO found that of the nearly $500 million invested through Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grants, future losses were reduced by $1.6 billion for an overall ratio of 3 to 1. In essence, for every dollar invested in mitigation, $3 was saved. CBO's analysis reaffirmed a prior study commissioned by FEMA and conducted by the Multihazard Mitigation Council of the National Institute of Building Sciences that concluded, in 2005 that each dollar spent on mitigation saves $4 in future losses due to disasters.\2\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\``Potential Cost Savings from the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program,'' Congressional Budget Office, September 2007. \2\``Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves: An Independent Study to Assess the Future Savings from Mitigation Activities,'' Multihazard Mitigation Council, National Institute of Building Sciences, 2005. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal programs such as FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and PDM help provide some of the investment needed to help communities undertake disaster mitigation. HMGP provides grants to state and local governments to rebuild after a disaster in ways that are cost-effective and that reduce the risk of future damage, hardship, and loss from all hazards. FEMA also provides grants under HMGP to assist families in reducing the risk to their homes from future disasters, through such steps as elevating the home or purchasing the home to remove it from the floodplain. Community empowerment for Mitigated Properties Act of 2017 H.R. 1735, as amended, addresses a prevalent source for complaints and miscommunications among municipal authorities in flood prone regions where numerous properties have been purchased, razed, and are maintained as open space. It is of critical importance that all entities involved at the county and community level receive effective communication as to why the State, in partnership with FEMA, is undertaking flood mitigation property buyouts and how the land can be used and maintained in the future. Currently FEMA works with State grantees and county governments are provided with the details of properties identified for buyout. H.R. 1735, as amended, ensures that municipal authorities receive the same details. This legislation requires FEMA to provide guidance to States on providing local governments with a framework for the upkeep of these properties and how to facilitate memorandums of understanding between local governing bodies regarding property maintenance and upkeep standards, consistent with the requirements of the local community and neighborhood, as well as the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program. HEARINGS AND ROUNDTABLES The Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management, held the following hearings and roundtable discussions on subjects related to matters contained in H.R. 1735, as amended, during the 114th and 115th Congresses: ``Rebuilding after the Storm: Lessening Impacts and Speeding Recovery'' held on January 27, 2015. The purpose of the hearing was to launch an assessment of the rising costs of disasters, the cost effectiveness of disaster assistance, strategies to reduce disaster losses, and the appropriate roles of government and the private sector, and to consider reforms to save lives through improved alerts and warning systems and search and rescue. ``What is Driving the Increasing Costs and Rising Losses from Disasters?'' held on March 18, 2015. The purpose of the roundtable was to examine and discuss data related to disaster costs, the trends observed over time, and the projections for the future given the policies in place today. ``The State of Pennsylvania and FEMA Region III are Leaders in Mitigating Disaster Costs and Losses'' held on May 28, 2015. The purpose of the roundtable was to examine disaster costs and losses, focus on hazards impacting Pennsylvania and the region, and identify best practices for mitigating and avoiding disaster impacts. ``Federal Disaster Assistance: Roles, Programs, and Coordination'' held on June 17, 2015. The purpose of the roundtable was to examine and discuss federal disaster assistance programs, the requirements and effectiveness of those programs, and coordination among various agencies and stakeholders. ``Controlling the Rising Cost of Federal Responses to Disaster'' held on May 12, 2016. The purpose of the hearing was to explore potential solutions and the principles that should be driving solutions to lower the overall costs of disasters and to help avoid devastating losses. ``Building a 21st Century Infrastructure for America: Mitigating Damage and Recovering Quickly from Disasters'' held on April 27, 2017. The purpose of the hearing was to examine how to protect infrastructure against future disaster damage, how to lower the overall disaster costs, and to identify challenges facing FEMA in responding to, recovering from, and mitigating against disasters, both natural and man- made. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY AND CONSIDERATION On March 27, 2017, Congressman Brian Babin (R-TX) introduced H.R. 1735, a bill to ensure the upkeep of property within communities where hazard mitigation funds were used to purchase the entity. On July 27, 2017, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure met in open session to consider H.R. 1735. The Committee considered an amendment offered by Congressman Lou Barletta (R-PA), which was agreed to by voice vote. The Committee ordered the bill, as amended, reported favorably to the House by voice vote with a quorum present. COMMITTEE VOTES Clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives requires each committee report to include the total number of votes cast for and against on each record vote on a motion to report and on any amendment offered to the measure or matter, and the names of those members voting for and against. There were no recorded votes taken in connection with consideration of H.R. 1735, as amended, or ordering the measure reported. A motion to order H.R. 1735, as amended, reported favorably to the House was agreed to by voice vote with a quorum present. COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee's oversight findings and recommendations are reflected in this report. NEW BUDGET AUTHORITY AND TAX EXPENDITURES Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives does not apply where a cost estimate and comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 has been timely submitted prior to the filing of the report and is included in the report. Such a cost estimate is included in this report. CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee has received the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1735, as amended, from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office: U.S. Congress, Congressional Budget Office, Washington, DC, August 16, 2017. Hon. Bill Shuster, Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1735, the Community Empowerment for Mitigated Properties Act of 2017. If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Robert Reese. Sincerely, Keith Hall, Director. Enclosure. H.R. 1735--Community Empowerment for Mitigated Properties Act of 2017 H.R. 1735 would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to update its guidance on acquiring property for open space as a disaster mitigation measure. Under current law, FEMA provides grants to states and localities to buy structures (and the underlying land) that are at risk of severe flooding. FEMA most recently issued guidance for this process in 2007. Based on the cost of creating similar guidance, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1735 would have no significant effect on the federal budget. Enacting H.R. 1735 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1679 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 1679 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis. PERFORMANCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the performance goal and objective of this legislation is to ensure that FEMA provides guidance to States on providing notification to local governments on mitigation property buyout activities and facilitating memorandums of understanding for the use and maintenance of the resulting open space. ADVISORY OF EARMARKS Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee is required to include a list of congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives. No provision in the bill, as amended, includes an earmark, limited tax benefit, or limited tariff benefit under clause 9(e), 9(f), or 9(g) of rule XXI. DUPLICATION OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee finds that no provision of H.R. 1735, as amended, establishes or reauthorizes a program of the federal government known to be duplicative of another federal program, a program that was included in any report from the Government Accountability Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139, or a program related to a program identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. DISCLOSURE OF DIRECTED RULE MAKINGS Pursuant to section 3(i) of H. Res. 5, 115th Cong. (2017), the Committee finds that enacting H.R. 1735, as amended, does not direct the completion of a specific rule making within the meaning of section 551 of title 5, United States Code. FEDERAL MANDATE STATEMENT The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of federal mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (Public Law 104-4). PREEMPTION CLARIFICATION Section 423 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires the report of any Committee on a bill or joint resolution to include a statement on the extent to which the bill or joint resolution is intended to preempt state, local, or tribal law. The Committee states that H.R. 1735, as amended, does not preempt any state, local, or tribal law. ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT No advisory committees within the meaning of section 5(b) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act are created by this legislation. APPLICABILITY OF LEGISLATIVE BRANCH The Committee finds that the legislation does not relate to the terms and conditions of employment or access to public services or accommodations within the meaning of section 102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act (Public Law 104-1). SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS OF LEGISLATION Section 1. Short title This section designates the short title as the ``Community Empowerment for Mitigated Properties Act of 2017.'' Section 2. Guidance on hazard mitigation assistance This section articulates the guidance the Administrator shall issue regarding the acquisition of property under section 404 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED H.R. 1735, as amended, makes no changes in existing law. [all]

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction refers to the replacement of the damaged ACL with a tissue to facilitate normal functioning of the knee. ACL is a major stabilizing ligament in the knee, which connects the femur to the tibia. ACL helps provide proper movement of the tibia. ACL also facilitates pivoting or sudden change in the direction of the leg, preventing the damage to the knee.
The ACL can be injured in different ways, thus warranting a need for ACL repair. The following scenarios may damage the ACL:
