Cutting Leather
Introduction: Cutting Leather
Cutting is one of the most important skills in leatherwork. Getting a good clean cut-edge on your leather makes a huge difference to the look of your project, especially if you are leaving your edges raw like we are here. There are quite a few different leather cutting methods, and which one you choose mostly depends on what kind of leather you're working with, and what shape your pattern is.
Your own comfort and skill level is also a major factor here. As a leatherworker with a background in sewing, I tend to use scissors when I can because I am the most comfortable with them as a cutting tool, but you might be more comfortable using an x-acto knife. A lot of professional leatherworkers use a round knife, which can be a useful tool, but it is also a giant scary blade that is extremely intimidating!... So I won't be teaching that one yet.
In this lesson I'll show you a few different ways to cut leather, you can choose the ones that work for you, and then we'll cut out the wallet.
In this lesson I'll be using:
Cutting Leather With Scissors
I'm going to show you my three favorite methods for cutting leather. Some work better for different situations, and some are just a matter of personal preference. Whatever you do, I suggest trying each of these tools on scrap leather first before you use them to cut out the wallet pattern.
Scissors or Leather Shears: with thinner, more pliable leather, I think a good sharp pair of scissors can often be the best tool for cutting out patterns, especially shapes with curved lines. Since leather of the same weight can vary in stiffness and texture, there is no hard-and-fast rule for when leather becomes too thick to cut effectively with scissors. The best way to find out is to test, but in general, leather above 9 or 10 oz will be too thick.
A few things to keep in mind when using scissors on leather:
Try to mostly cut against a flat surface, don't cut up in the air (unless you are cutting very small details).
Keep your scissors at a right angle to your leather and cutting surface, this helps you create a cut edge that is squared off, not beveled.
To create clean lines, cut with long slow strokes, not short choppy ones.
Practice first on scraps so you don't ruin your project.
Cutting With X-Acto, Utility or Craft Knives
I find these types of knives to be the most versatile (and cheap) leather cutting tool. They work great for straight lines, and pretty good on curves too, with a bit of practice.
A few things to keep in mind:
Cut on top of a cutting mat or other appropriate surface. Cutting surfaces need to be flat, smooth and somewhat soft so your blade doesn't get dulled or broken too easily.
Hold your leather steady with one hand while pulling your knife smoothly along your marked pattern lines with the other.
Try to keep your blade held at right angles to your cutting surface.
Press down hard enough to cut all the way through in one pass to get the cleanest lines. You can always go back and cut a second time if you have to, but this sometimes creates a jagged edge.
Move the leather around between cuts to get the best cutting angle on each line. Your arm can only effectively cut straight lines at certain angles, and it's usually easier to move the leather than to move your whole body to give your arm the best leverage.
To cut straight lines, you can use a metal ruler as a guide for your knife. Hold the ruler down firmly with your other hand as you cut.
Cut with a sharp blade. A sharp blade makes a HUGE difference. Change them often, they're cheap.
Always be safe! Keep your free hand out of the path of your x-acto blade and work slowly and consciously. These knives may be small, but they are extremely sharp and can be a very dangerous tool if you aren't being careful. Keep all your fingers!
Here's how I use both ruler-aided cutting and free-hand cutting on different parts of a pattern piece:
Cutting With a Cutting Wheel
Cutting wheels are basically like pizza cutters for leather. They have a sharp retractable wheel blade and come in different sizes. When used correctly, they create beautiful clean edges along straight lines, but they can be a bit tricky to master. I mostly use them for cutting straps.
A few things to keep in mind when using a cutting wheel:
Cut on top of a cutting mat or other appropriate surface. As with knives, cutting surfaces need to be flat, smooth and somewhat soft so your blade doesn't get dulled or broken too easily.
Use a long metal, or very thick plastic ruler as a guide. Your ruler should be at least as long as the line you need to cut. Hold your ruler down with your free hand and run your cutting wheel directly along the edge of the ruler, pushing away from you.
Press down firmly so you cut all the way through the leather.
Make your cut in one long stroke if possible, starting and stopping makes jagged edges more likely.
Always be safe! Keep your free hand out of the path of your cutting wheel blade and work slowly and consciously. Cutting wheels can be very dangerous if you aren't being careful. Keep all your fingers!

Cut Out the Wallet Pattern
To cut out your wallet pattern, choose one of the cutting methods I've demonstrated, and cut the leather along the lines you've marked with the awl. I used an x-acto knife and a metal ruler to cut all the straight lines, then rounded the corners with scissors. Skip cutting the two internal card slot cuts for now, we'll cut those in the next lesson.
You could also use scissors to cut the whole thing. I wouldn't recommend a cutting wheel for this project because a shape like this is too small, with too many angles, to cut with a cutting wheel without making mistakes.
What We Learned
So now you've practiced a few of the best techniques for cutting leather. Making clean cuts takes practice, so keep trying if you aren't getting it right away. Remember a sharp blade makes a huge difference. So keep your tools sharp or change blades often. There is a lot of good advice about tool care and sharpening (all given through beautiful hand drawings) in the book Leathercraft Tools.
In the next lesson we'll keep constructing our wallet as we learn how to fold leather.
How's Your Project Going?
If you have any problems cutting out your wallet, feel free to ask questions in the discussion section below.

Cornus - the beauty for all seasons
When we talk about Cornus we often refer to the vibrant coloured stems that brighten any garden in winter or when planting native hedgerows. However, there is so much more on offer when talking about Cornus. In this article we are focusing on the mis-understood flowering Cornus types. These are trees of various sizes which often put on some of the best spring flowering displays around and have dazzling autumn foliage colour, with reds, oranges and yellows blending together to create beautiful flame like patterns. Adding Cornus into your designs will make your customers gardens the envy of their neighbours!
Read below to discover just a few of the best Cornus species.
Cornus florida
Cornus florida is native of Eastern North America and Northern Mexico. It is a deciduous broadly conical tree up to 10 metres. Leaves can be slightly twisted and have good autumn colour. The tiny green flowers are surrounded by conspicuous flower like bracts in mid to late spring which are followed by bright red fruits.
Grows best in acid soils pH 5.5 – 7.0 Prefers growing positions with afternoon shade or dappled shade and shelter. Will not cope in exposed or salty coastal conditions.
Has been used in the production of inks and scarlet dyes.
Our favourite variety is Cornus florida 'Rainbow'. It is a stunning cultivar with beautiful white flowers in April/May. However its main quality is the incredible autumn colour! During spring and summer the leaves are green with yellow margins and then in autumn they turn to all shades of orange and red.
Cornus kousa
Cornus kousa is a small deciduous tree up to 7 metres in height, with oval leaves that turn red – purple in autumn. The spring flowers are small and greenish and are surrounded by dramatic bracts, these are followed by a pink strawberry like fruit, much loved by birds. As with all Cornus, kousa prefers an acid to neutral moist well drained soil.
Originates from Japan, Korea and China. Can cope with most aspects in sun or dappled shade.
We highly recommend Cornus kousa 'Satomi'. It is different to other Cornuses because of its distinctive dark pink petal-like bracts. It produces masses of flowers in June and it looks absolutely stunning.
Cornus controversa
Cornus controversa is often called the Wedding Cake Tree due to the tiered growing habit which makes this a beautiful tree in maturity, especially the variegated form. The tree grows to a height of 5-8 meters with a spread to match. Leaves turn yellow in autumn. Flowers appear in mid spring and are flat heads of small white flowers 15cm across, these are followed by blue/black berries.
Native to Eastern Asia
Can cope with most aspects and full sun or partial shade. They like moist well drained soil, neutral to acid.
There is one variety which we particularly love - Cornus controversa 'Variegata'. This tree will create a great focal point if you have small or medium size garden. It has very unusual shape and the creamy variegated foliage will brighten every spot.
Cornus mas
Cornus mas, also known as the Cornelian cherry is the earliest flowering Cornus. Masses of small yellow flowers appear in February on bare stems. It is a small deciduous and very dense tree growing up to 6 m height. During spring and summer the leaves are green but in autumn they turn bright yellow, orange and red. It also produces cherry-like edible (when ripe) bright red fruits. They are quite sour so are usually made into preserves.
Cornus alternifolia
Cornus alternifolia is also known as Pagoda Dogwood. It's a small deciduous tree – up to 8 metres. Branches grow in horizontal layers creating an elegant shaped tree. Leaves golden with a green central splash. New leaves are often flushed orange. Cluster of cream coloured flowers, mid – late spring followed by bluish black berries
Indigenous to Eastern North America
Ideal growing conditions Moist but well drained acidic to neutral soils. Grows on wood land margins. Does well in dappled shade.
Our favourite is Cornus alternifolia 'Golden Shadows'. It is a beautiful small tree with a very elegant shape and fabulous foliage colour. The leaves are green with vibrant lime green margins. You really need this variety if you wish to brighten up your garden.

Sacha Perry: Eretik
Classic Bebop piano with an amazing density of piano texture and a passionate commitment... righteous stuff of timeless validity, and the man is real.
Sacha Perry
EretikLabel: Smalls
US Release Date: 2005-05-10
UK Release Date: 2005-05-17
Amazon affiliate
Sacha Perry is 35 years old, and the beginnings of his vocation as a pianist date back to his late teens and an encounter with the recorded music of Thelonious Monk. The development of that vocation, and this is a paraphrase of the notes to his CD, was consequent on his finding his way into serious New York jazz musical company.
The notes refer to the assistance of friends, one of them Rodney Kendrick, whose music I know of only from a friend who received a review copy of We Don't Die, We Multiply, an extremely impressive piano trio set in which Kendrick demonstrates that he has learned from both Monk and the physical giant Randy Weston, a veteran sometime protégé of Duke Ellington. Weston has been around long enough to have a good reputation in the reference books, Kendrick ought to have one, and so indeed might Perry some day. The notes' list of Perry's senior associates over the years also includes several hornmen widely known or obscure, and the great pianist and teacher Barry Harris, whose own playing bears marks of the influence of Bud Powell.
Without the Smalls label, hardly anybody outside New York might know the name of Frank Hewitt, whose alas posthumous appearance on record, from Smalls, was discussed earlier on this site. Luke Kaven, boss of the still new label and of the now defunct performance venue from which it takes its name, doesn't merely champion Hewitt, and now Perry. He is actively trying to demonstrate that New York remains home to a number of considerable jazz musicians neither publicised nor fashionable, in who the music flourishes too little heard.
That concern might mark him as a romantic among people too fond of stereotypes, but there are remarkable musicians whose names simply do not get known, and whose lack of any wider reputation probably signifies one or another spiritual malaise. Among many potentially interested listeners, such musicians are supposed not to exist, as if only reasonable and musical factors determined reputations. There are places where it's not safe to go alone, or go other than as a member of a sizeable group of human beings. That might have applied to the physical settings in which blues fans could hear Chicago performers fifty years ago, but what about listening to CDs?
Champions of styles of jazz played 70 and 80 years ago, whose specialised interests might not include, say, Sacha Perry, will complain that in music academies what is taught as jazz tends to be derivative of John Coltrane in a linear succession from his music. They do, however, make the point, clearly if implicitly, that Perry's general sort of music hasn't found real recognition in a lot of those academies either.
Imagine a big New York symphony orchestra dedicated to a succession of the latest things, in another version of "Roll over, Beethoven!" It would need a lot of sponsorship of a very unlikely sort. Perry, however, studied among musicians in a community of no worse than the unfashionable. Ari Roland, bassist on this set, was like Perry a man within this environment, and of a standard which made him welcome musical company to older musicians glad to have him play with them. Hewitt was one not all his peers had to endure, suffering a depth of being insufficiently widely known. For other names Kaven can vouch for but this reviewer hasn't yet heard, check Kaven's notes published on his own and on the CDBaby websites, where musical samples can also be audited.
Hewitt was an interesting musician who very audibly had learned from a number of slightly earlier pianists, such as Elmo Hope among the recorded but less famous. Perry, despite having something of Hewitt's intense and tart sound, is a more focussed stylist, not Monkish as his friend Kendrick is, but coming out of a Monk-Bud Powell-Barry Harris sort of thing, with a more flowing style than the in many respects similar approach of the later Powell on the Portrait of Thelonious album.
He does not play with the efficiently quiet, fairly orthodox sonority of a lot of players, like the competent accompanists not to be regretted but not that distinguishable one from another -- or Andre Previn. There is an edge to his sound, and also a body, an acute harmonic profile, and really, a voice.
His programme is all of his own compositions, works not remote in character from items recorded on 78 rpm in the later 1940s. "Erratic" is the opener, named as part of a game of wordplay Kaven's notes mention, including erotic, heretic, and the coinage which is this set's name. The chord sequence for improvisation is strong, and here as elsewhere Roland solos on bowed bass. Phil Stewart's performance as drummer shouldn't be slighted either.
For other samples, "All Right" is a brisk ballad, and "I Keep Coming Back to You" is reminiscent of "All the Things You Are" without necessarily having been based on that standard. The thunderous piano and involved drumming on "Whirligig" produce something like some versions of "Just One of Those Things". "Goodnight, Goodnight" has more texture on the model of Bud Powell playing Monk; "Another Day" might strike an aficionado of classic bebop pianists as reminiscent of George Wallington, whose alleged descent from Powell could be challenged. Wallington was an Italian-American, real name Miglia, who kept company with the far too legendary Clarence Profit, who died young and could make records only under commercial constraints.
In general, I'd listen for right hand work not afraid of dissonance, liberated by use of a rumbling left, and, especially on the closer "Desolation", some heavy solo chords and a socking attack. This isn't to say that the guy can't be tender or lyrical when he wants to be. He's like a singer with a big voice, and this music is big-hearted and emotional, resourceful and brilliant, and with no lapses whatever into mere scales, exhibitionism, or cleverness. Some listeners may never have heard the like. People who've been listening long enough to hear Perry's identifiable affinities would be hard pressed even to suggest where there might be anything imitative. The man is somebody.

Welcome to the Enterprise Créteil car rental page. Choose from a wide selection of cars ranging from smaller economy cars to larger SUVs and people carriers
Located in the south-east of the French capital, Créteil is an urban commune which has a busy commercial district. Situated about seven miles from the centre of Paris, it is popular among commuters who travel back and forth each day. Créteil is a typically Parisian suburb with much of its architecture dating back to the eighteenth century. It is served by good road connections, with the A86 and N6 both passing through its western side.
There are plenty of cars to choose from. Being a heavily urbanised area, many economical cars are popular. Popular cars include mini-class vehicles, such as a Renault Twingo, but also economy 3-door cars, such as an Opel Corsa. For those needing a bit more room, car rental Créteil also covers economy diesels, like Renault Clios, for example, or compact manuals, such as a Citroën C4. Larger cars - for example, estates, SUVs and 7-seaters, like a Peugeot 87 - are all available. These are ideal for families and bigger parties who are on a touring holiday.
The Lac de Créteil is the commune's principal tourist attraction, accessible via Rue Jean Gabin, off the D86. Formed from a former quarry, it is a centre of fishing, pleasure boating and sailboarding. There is also a widely-used shopping mall on the western side of the lake, just off the D1 and easy to reach by car. Behind it is Créteil's cultural and arts centre which hosts theatrical, music and dance performances. In common with other Parisian residential areas, Créteil has a number of good restaurants. Particularly noteworthy are the number of Asian restaurants which are situated off Rue de General Leclerc in the north-east of the commune.
Given Créteil's close proximity to the centre of Paris, there are too many things to see and do to list in their entirety. In terms of car rental, Créteil is ideally situated for people who want to visit central Paris during the day, for sights such as the Louvre Museum and the Arc de Triomphe, but who would like to return to a cosier neighbourhood during the evening. The main entrance to the famous catacombs of Paris is a twenty-minute drive away and only another ten minutes would mean being able to see the Eiffel Tower. About eight miles to the east of Créteil is the Forêt Domaniale de Notre-Dame, an urban forest much loved by Parisian families and tourists alike. It hosts regular gastronomic festivals and offers activities for people of all ages.
The closest airport to Créteil is Orly, where Enterprise has a convenient facility situated by the west terminal. A free monorail service connects the airport's two terminals so it is easy to access no matter which terminal your aeroplane lands at. Our services are available seven days a week. With a journey time of about a half an hour behind the wheel, it is possible to reach the Enterprise centre at Charles de Gaulle Airport from Créteil, too. Just head north on the A86 skirting the busiest traffic to the east of the city centre.
The car rental Créteil options on offer are diverse because Enterprise has many facilities in Paris, several located at the city's railway stations as well as its air hubs. However, navigation in the city is not always easy for newcomers. Parisian traffic tends to be a little more urgent than in other parts of France, so it is a good idea to have your route planned or to hire a satellite navigation system along with your car, if you are unsure of how best to get in and around Créteil. On-street parking is possible in the commune, but some residential streets have marked bays that are reserved for residents only. Public parking is available at the metro station, the shopping mall and on Rue Jean Gabin, close to the lake.
Enterprise in Creteil offers great prices across its large fleet of vehicles, whether you need a 3-door economy car, roomy SUV or 9-passenger people carrier. Book online in advance for the best deals on cheap car rental, or visit our knowledgeable staff in branch for friendly, personal service.
Enterprise offers a wide range of new vans from our city and neighbourhood branches. Explore the full fleet of passenger vans and larger commercial vehicles online or visit us in branch where our staff can help you find your perfect vehicle. Visit our Creteil van hire page to find out more.

Hosted Domains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages offer a different number of domains that you can host in a single account. To have one or a few sites, you won't need a lot of resources, so you do not need to pay for a very powerful plan and you can get started with a lower-end one. If you choose to have more websites at some point, you can always upgrade the whole plan or only the hosted domains function of your current plan - it will take only a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel to accomplish this. There is no limit how many domain addresses you are able to register via our company and by selecting the most suitable plan, you can select how many of them you will actually host. If you already have domain names which are registered through a different provider, you can host them with us as well and employ our web and email hosting services for them.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer you includes unlimited hosted domains. No matter if you register multiple domain addresses here or you already have them through another provider, you can add them in the account on our end with only a few mouse clicks. If you decide to get a new domain address from our company, it will be hosted automatically in the account, so you will not need to do anything else but begin working on the website for it. All of the hosted domains can be managed with ease from a single place via our Hepsia CP. In contrast, if you use rival Control Panels, you'll be able to register a domain through one system and host it through another, not mentioning that you have to switch between a number of accounts to manage a couple of domain addresses. Thus, Hepsia is going to save you time and efforts when you manage your hosted domains.
Hosted Domains in VPS Web Hosting
If you obtain a virtual private server solution from our company, you will be able to host as many domain addresses as you like. You'll have your own server, therefore it's up to you how you will use its resources. You'll be able to register new domains through the billing account of your VPS or add domain addresses that you have already registered with a different company. Since we provide 3 web hosting Control Panels for the servers, you will have different choices for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a newly registered domain is hosted automatically on the server and you'll handle all hosted domains in one place (i.e. there are no main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you can create a separate account for each and every domain name you want to host on the server. The aforementioned option is handy if you would like to allow access to your domains to other people.

The free OSR Learning Library has more than 50 articles on a wide variety of topics about writing and debugging device drivers and Minifilters. From introductory level to advanced. All the articles have been recently reviewed and updated, and are written using the clear and definitive style you've come to expect from OSR over the years.
Check out The OSR Learning Library at: https://www.osr.com/osr-learning-library/
I have read http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=102 and I can see some of the complications regarding FileObjects. I have not yet seen any "Flags & FO_STREAM_FILE" (I ASSERT on it in my IRP dispatcher) so I have not yet done code to "remember" FileObjects (that did not come via MJ_CREATE).
I reference count in CREATE, and CLEANUP.
Then try to work out when I can free my FCB in CLOSE.
` if (IrpSp->FileObject->FsContext) {
vnode_t *vp = IrpSp->FileObject->FsContext;
if (vp->v_iocount == 1 && vp->v_usecount == 0) { section = vnode_sectionpointer(vp); if (section->ImageSectionObject) (VOID)MmFlushImageSection(section, MmFlushForWrite); if (FlagOn(IrpSp->FileObject->Flags, FO_CACHE_SUPPORTED) && section && section->DataSectionObject) { CcFlushCache(section, NULL, 0, &iosb); CcPurgeCacheSection(section, NULL, 0, FALSE); } if (IrpSp->FileObject->SectionObjectPointer) { KeInitializeEvent(&UninitializeCompleteEvent.Event, SynchronizationEvent, FALSE); CcUninitializeCacheMap(IrpSp->FileObject, NULL, &UninitializeCompleteEvent); WaitStatus = KeWaitForSingleObject(&UninitializeCompleteEvent.Event, Executive, KernelMode, FALSE, NULL); ASSERT(IrpSp->FileObject->SectionObjectPointer->ImageSectionObject == NULL); ASSERT(IrpSp->FileObject->SectionObjectPointer->DataSectionObject == NULL); IrpSp->FileObject->SectionObjectPointer = NULL; } FsRtlTeardownPerStreamContexts(&vp->FileHeader); FsRtlUninitializeFileLock(&vp->lock); } if (vp->v_iocount == 1 && vp->v_usecount == 0 && (IrpSp->FileObject->SectionObjectPointer == NULL || (IrpSp->FileObject->SectionObjectPointer->ImageSectionObject == NULL && IrpSp->FileObject->SectionObjectPointer->DataSectionObject == NULL))) { vnode_recycle(vp); // Release the memory at FsContext } } else { dprintf("IRP_CLOSE but can't close yet.\n"); } IrpSp->FileObject->FsContext = NULL;
So, it sucks to read other's code - so I'll try to summarise. Before I release the memory, I made sure that:
Most of the time it works, but every now and then we die:
nt!KiGeneralProtectionFault+0x2dc C/C++/ASM FLTMGR!FltpGetStreamListCtrl+0x66 C/C++/ASM FLTMGR!FltpPerformPreCallbacks+0x68f C/C++/ASM FLTMGR!FltpPassThroughInternal+0x8c C/C++/ASM FLTMGR!FltpPassThrough+0x144 C/C++/ASM FLTMGR!FltpDispatch+0x9e C/C++/ASM nt!IofCallDriver+0x59 C/C++/ASM nt!IopDeleteFile+0x124 C/C++/ASM nt!ObpRemoveObjectRoutine+0x80 C/C++/ASM nt!ObfDereferenceObject+0xa1 C/C++/ASM nt!MiSegmentDelete+0x192 C/C++/ASM nt!MiProcessDereferenceList+0xa3 C/C++/ASM nt!MiDereferenceSegmentThread+0x125 C/C++/ASM nt!PspSystemThreadStartup+0x47 C/C++/ASM nt!KiStartSystemThread+0x16 C/C++/ASM
I believe that IofCallDriver (or there abouts) calls my MJ_CLOSE, and I detect that I can finally release the memory - the memory allocator scribbles 0xdeadbeef to the memory - then the kernel keeps going, and ends up in FltpGetStreamListCtrl() and dies due to access to 0xdeadbeef.
So why is it still rogering around in "my memory"? Which part is it trying to access? As it says StreamList, I would guess the AdvancedHeader is in play, but I call FsRtlTeardownPerStreamContexts()!
Is there something I have missed in my MJ_CLOSE "can we free memory conditional" ?
If I never release memory, we do not crash - but I don't see that as a great long term plan.
This is a file system right? If this not then you are waaay off track.
You can delete an FCB (or any other structure) when the last thread stops referencing it and any other structures you have stop _referencing _it. It is you, not any one else, who decides which data structures point to which other ones. If you decide to point a
FileObject->FsContext at an FCB then you can be sure that when you get the MJ_CLOSE you are never going to see that FileObject again and so that route to the FCB is gone.
The IoCreateFileObject functions are a red herring, nobody but you is going to point
FileObject->FsContext at your FCB
So, before you get much older you are going to have to write reference counting logic and free the fcb when it the ref count goes to zero. That is way simpler that all the other stuff you are trying to do - which serves absolutely no purpose and mostly likely will confuse things (for instance
CcPurgeCacheSection should provoke
MJ_CLOSE, not vice versa.
The stack you posted looks like you some other file object has a reference to FsContext, but you have blown away the fcb
_ If you decide to point a FileObject->FsContext at an FCB then you can be sure that when you get the MJ_CLOSE you are never going to see that FileObject again_
Yeah but that's just it, I decide to share my memory with a FileObject->FsContext, only to find the kernel has created new FileObjects, and re-shared my memory with those, like some key-party I didn't sign up for!
But, now I record all FileObjects I see with my memory, and I will admit many crashes has gone away - I still need to do the CcUninitializeCacheMap() - when I delete a .exe file, the last CLOSE would take up to 10 mins otherwise.
I guess I shouldn't have hesitated, but it just seem so strange to not have an IRP call for "assigning to another FO" so the FSDs can have an easier time.

There are numerous causes of cerebral palsy. CP can either be present before birth, can occur during the delivery process, or can even develop up to several years after a child is born. The disorder is most commonly diagnosed when a child is between four months and 2 years old. Occasionally, it does not appear until later in a child's development.
Free Cerebral Palsy Case Evaluation: If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brachial plexus palsy or Erb's palsy, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a lawsuit and we can help.
What's the problem?
Cerebral palsy is a serious birth injury that affects more than 5,000 children in the United States each year. Resulting from brain damage, the causes of cerebral palsy can include birth mistakes such as physician error or negligence. This type of birth injury compromises the body's ability to control movement and posture and often results in seizures, intellectual impairment, behavioral problems, hearing deficits, and vision disorders.
Causes of Cerebral Palsy
Several of the causes of cerebral palsy that have been identified through research are preventable or treatable:
- Childhood head injury (such as from an accident or child abuse)
- Jaundice
- Rh(Rhesus) incompatibility in pregnancy
- Lead poisoning
- Rubella (German measles) and other illnesses during pregnancy
- Premature delivery
Chief among the causes is an insufficient amount of oxygen or poor flow of blood reaching the fetal or newborn brain. This can be caused by premature separation of the placenta, an awkward birth position, labor that goes on too long or is too abrupt, or interference with the umbilical cord.
If your child acquired cerebral palsy as a result of a birth mistake, you may be entitled to a financial award. A cerebral palsy case evaluation with birth injury lawyers experienced in this area of litigation can provide you with the information you need to proceed with your case.
Do I have a Cerebral Palsy Lawsuit?
The Birth Injury Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus exclusively on the representation of plaintiffs in cerebral palsy, brachial plexus palsy, and Erb's palsy lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new cases in all 50 states.

How to Make a Rustic Garden Arch
Part of the fun of gardening is adding an outdoor oasis as an extension to your home. A rustic garden arch provides a whimsical entrance transitioning from one part of your yard to the next. Made from tree trunks and branches that you can find in or around your property, this project costs little to nothing compared to lumber and lattice arbors you can purchase at home and garden centers. Use the garden arch in place of a gate over a walkway or place it as an accent piece in a flower bed.
Cut four 4-inch-diameter straight branches or logs to 8-foot lengths. Cut them 7 feet long if you don't wish to anchor the arbor posts 12 inches in the ground.
Cut holes through each post, 2 1/2 inches in diameter, with a hole saw. Cut the first hole 6 inches from the top, the second hold in the middle of the post, and the third hole 18 inches from the bottom of the post. If you cut the posts to 7-foot lengths instead of 8 feet, then make the bottom hole 6 inches from the bottom of the post.
Cut six pieces of 2-inch diameter branches to 4-foot lengths. Choose pieces that are as straight as possible and with the same diameter at each end of the branch.
Lay two of the 7- or 8-foot posts side by side on a flat surface and push the 4-foot branch pieces into the holes cut in the posts. Then fit a second post on the opposite end of the 4-foot branches. Repeat with the remaining two arbor posts and three 2-inch diameter pieces.
Cut another hole through each arbor post, 2 1/2 inches in diameter, just above the top holes for the 2-inch diameter braces that connect the arbor sides, but on the side of the post that faces in toward the middle of the arbor when the sides are set in place. The three 2-inch diameter branches connect the two posts for each side of the arbor and these new holes will connect the top brace that joins the two sides of the arbor.
Cut two lengths from 2-inch diameter branches, 4 1/2 feet long. Face the two arbor sides together and insert these branches into the holes to connect the two sides.
Select about 10 to 12 branches that are less than 1-inch in diameter and 8 feet long. Strip any leaves from these branches with a pocketknife. It helps to use green branches for this because green wood bends more easily.
Attach one end of the 1-inch-by-8-foot branches to the top horizontal brace of one side of the arbor with 2-inch ring shank nails. You can use more or less than 10 to 12 branches, if desired, but space the branches evenly across the horizontal brace.
Bend the 1-inch-by-8-foot branches into an arch and secure the other end of the branches to the top horizontal branch on the other arbor side. Alternatively, use willow branch poles and soak the branches in water to make them more flexible. If you can't find 8-foot branches that are flexible enough, add a separate shorter branch to each arbor side and tie them in the middle with wire or string.
Dig an 18-inch deep, 5-by-5-inch post hole for each arbor post. Measure the distance between each post to be sure, but the arbor should be about 4 feet wide and 3 1/2 feet deep.
Add 6 inches of gravel to the bottom of each post hole and pack it tight with the flat end of a digging bar. Add more gravel and compact until the holes are only 12 inches deep.
Stand the arbor upright and set the posts in the post holes. You can pack more gravel around the wooden posts for stability or pour cement for a more permanent structure.
Nail additional branches to the outside of the arbor sides with ring shank nails to fill in the open spaces between the horizontal braces. You can arrange short pieces in a strict pattern or nail entire 7-foot branches to play up the rustic nature of the arbor. This step is less important if you don't plan to train climbing vines on the structure.
Things Needed
- Circular saw
- Measuring tape
- 4-inch diameter branches or logs
- Hole saw
- 2 1/2-inch diameter hole saw bit
- 2-inch diameter branches
- 1-inch diameter branches
- Pocketknife
- 2-inch ring shank nails
- Hammer
- Post-hole diggers
- Digging bar
- Gravel
- Cement (optional)
- Inspect the arbor twice annually in spring and fall for damaged pieces. You can easily replace the arching branches as they weather or decay and because the horizontal braces aren't set in place with screws or nails, you can simply slide one piece out and replace it with a new piece as needed.
- If desired, cut the 4-foot long, 2-inch diameter horizontal braces to longer lengths and allow them to protrude slightly through the holes in the posts.

Information for 17471IIED
Gender considerations in the restoration of livelihoods: resettlement from hydropower
IIED Briefing, 4 pages
Following a review of existing policies and outcomes of resettlement approaches for large hydropower dams, we suggest how incorporating the gendered dimension of resettlement can improve these policies to help women and men successfully restore their livelihoods. Large hydropower projects often force communities from their traditional lands when reservoirs flood and homes and their surroundings are submerged. Even where compensation and resettlement are well designed, plans and legislation tend to be gender blind. Often, these plans do not recognise the different roles of men and women in the household, and do not benefit each group equally. The ways compensation payments are made, and involuntary resettlement is managed, tend to reinforce some roles and diminish others. Hydropower projects should seek to empower and support both men and women's livelihoods simultaneously to achieve successful resettlement outcomes.

Project information
Agriculture in large-scale rice irrigation schemes needs to be made to work for both the state, in terms of economic returns and national food security, and for the smallholders whose livelihoods depend on it. When it comes to the development of new dams and large-scale irrigation, more information is needed about their economic viability and how the water, land, and economic benefits can be shared equitably to support local development.

Watch: Rockets' Chinanu Onuaku shoots free throws underhanded in debut
Houston Rockets rookie center Chinanu Onuaku made quite an impression in his NBA debut after he made two free throws underhanded.
With less than three minutes to play in the Rockets' 131–115 rout over the Phoenix Suns, Onuaku went to the free throw line and attempted both of his shots "granny style," a technique used by such legends as George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry.
Barry was the last NBA player to attempt underhanded free throws in a regular-season game.
Onuaku tried shooting free throws underhanded during his freshman season at Louisville and improved his free throw percentage by 13 points during his sophomore season.
Onuaku scored six points and had three rebounds in eight minutes against the Suns. The Rockets plan on sending Onuaku back to their D-league affiliate on Tuesday.

ASTOUND Initiative
The ASTOUND Initiative is led by the CFC Media Lab in partnership with Hot Docs and OCAD U. It is a special endeavour dedicated to creating innovative investment and business development solutions for Ontario-based creative content producers working in digital media, film, television, gaming, transmedia, music and publishing.
Though currently on hiatus, we continue to serve the creative community through the ASTOUND website and ASTOUND Business Model Canvas (BMC) workshops.
The website is an indispensable online portal of relevant resources, business tools, books and reports for creative content entrepreneurs working in digital media, film, television, gaming, transmedia, music and publishing. Featuring the ASTOUND "Best Practices" Tool Kit, it was created by leading content producers and investors to establish a common framework and language for the entertainment and business sector. For more information, please visit astoundinitiative.ca/resources.
The ASTOUND Business Model Canvas workshops train content producers to use the techniques of business model design by Alex Osterwalder and his associates, and evolved by the CFC Media Lab for creative producers and content-based businesses. The Business Model Canvas provides a single easy-to-use visual tool allowing participants to quickly map their productions and/or businesses, assess viability and re-imagine their business model. The workshops' participatory and multi-method approach creates an empowering and interactive working environment that gives participants a tangible blueprint for current and future projects.
The BMC workshop is available to media organizations. For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject Line: BMC Workshop Request.
ASTOUND encourages content creators to think entrepreneurially, explore their unique properties, revenue potential, and understand the multiple roles audiences play. It promotes a sustainable business model using a collaborative approach.
The intention of ASTOUND is to establish a set of "best practices" that support the transition from content producers to content entrepreneurs, as well as provide content investors with an industry standard for creative content evaluation to spark business and industry growth.
Each program component plays a significant role in meeting ASTOUND's objectives:
- Workshops dedicated to training content producers to use business model design
- Salons provide a collaborative environment for knowledge exchange and networking between content producers and investors
- Summit promotes audience engagement, discussion and perspective on audience integration models
- Website functions as an information and resource hub
ASTOUND applies novel solutions from other sectors, a consultative, collaborative creative approach with stakeholders, and how these solutions can integrate the investment and creative content sectors.
The ASTOUND Salons create a unique forum bringing creative producers and equity investors together on a level playing field. The discussions focus on identifying gaps and finding appropriate solutions to bridge the divide between the two groups. The working group collaborates on a series of tools and resources that are adapted for the ASTOUND website.
The ASTOUND Summit: The Business of Audience Engagement is a one-day symposium for content entrepreneurs to explore the importance of connecting with viewers and users. The summit explores how to best integrate audiences and leverage these relationships to secure financing and investment. Participants and industry experts discuss strategies regarding crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and audience engagement, as well as interpreting and adapting user data.
The ASTOUND Clinics are designed to provide participants with a hands-on opportunity to play with audience engagement concepts and tools, including workshopping projects.
The ASTOUND Initiative is led by the CFC Media Lab in partnership with Hot Docs, OCAD U and a range of partners. The inaugural ASTOUND was made possible through The Entertainment and Creative Cluster Partnerships Fund administered by the Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC) on behalf of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.
The Business Model Canvas techniques give entrepreneurs an opportunity to organize their business plans in a central place by putting ideas into key categories. It allows you to see a visual snapshot of your plans and connect the areas to see if they make sense, while being versatile enough to make quick changes, build on it, or make important decisions on whether to keep it, or scrap it.
The Business Model Canvas is a fun, visceral way of encouraging content-based businesses to answer these questions head on. More importantly, it sets out that business modelling is an iterative design process that is at heart "creative." It underscores how business modelling should be integrated into the content-based industry's creative process every step of the way.
The goal of the Value Proposition Canvas is to assist you in designing great Value Propositions that match your customer's needs to solve their problems. This is what the start-up scene calls product-market fit or problem-solution fit. The Value Proposition Canvas helps you work towards this fit in a more systematic and visual way.
Strategyzer is an online application that allows you to electronically visualize your business model canvas, while going deeper by allowing you to be constantly connected and up-to-date with your team, understand if your business model will fail or succeed through a testing process, estimate your financial opportunities and more.
Sparkwise is a cloud-based metrics platform. The service, which is still in beta, takes data from a user's various social media feeds and transforms the raw data into stories by incorporating video, audio and text.
Sparkwise gives meaning to your data and momentum to your goals. Visualize, compare and curate your data to tell your story and ignite your audience. Data can be a powerful tool for change. Tracking the right metrics in the right context can help us gain a deeper understanding of the communities we serve, so we can make a lasting impact.

Many people fear a visit to the dentist but one woman was left traumatised when a dental drill came unstuck, fell down her throat and lodged in her LUNG.
The 60-year-old was undergoing dental implant surgery at a hospital in Sweden when the drill head, known as a burr, came loose and dropped into her mouth.
The woman, who was lying down at the time, was made to sit up immediately and cough, but the three-centimetre long metal part was already gone.
"She tried to spit it out, and was made to cough, but she'd already swallowed," the hospital's medical chief Per Weitz told Swedish news website, The Local.
The woman was immediately taken for an x-ray which revealed that the drill head had lodged in her right lung.
Doctors at Västmanland County Hospital, in Västerås, in central Sweden, performed an emergency bronchoscopy to remove the metal burr.
Dr Weitz added: "A pinky-sized tube was sent into her lung with a small camera and pliers to grab hold of the drill."
The incident, which happened in September, came to light after it was reported to the National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden.
Incidents must be reported in accordance with Lex Maria, the name given to regulations governing the reporting of injuries or incidents in the Swedish healthcare system.
The woman was able to return home the next day but spent a month recovering from her ordeal.
Dr Weitz told The Local that new safety procedures have been introduced, including testing dental drills in the air, to avoid similar accidents in future.
But he conceded: "Unfortunately, drills are going to be dropped every now and then."

MetalUnderground.com Sponsors Hammerslag Vinterblot 2006 Extreme Metal Festival
Band Photo: Zyklon (?)
Metalunderground.com is once again sponsoring Norway's Hammerslag Vinterblot festival for the second year in a row. The festival, which is to take place on December 15 and 16, 2006, is a two-day showcase of extreme black, death and grind metal bands. Sponsorship of the Hammerslag Vinterblot festival fits with Metalunderground.com's mission of promoting underground heavy metal.
The two-day extreme metal festival, in its third year, takes place in Norway's oldest city, Tønsberg (est. 871). Friday night's show will be held at Rivals Rockpub and Saturday's at Eikhallen, a sports arena in Tønsberg. The Hammerslag Vinterblot festival features performances by some of Norway's best as well as underground black metal, death metal, thrash, grindcore and doom metal bands, boasting more than nine confirmed bands including Zyklon, Kampfar, Framferd, Cutthroat, Malsain, Sarkom, Abominat, Dead Man's Hand, and Pandemi with others in negotiation.
"Once again, we're happy to be part of the Hammerslag Festival and bring word of some excellent Norwegian and European extreme metal bands to our predominantly American readership," said Metalunderground.com owner Doug Gibson. "I'm even more excited this year to have a local journalist reporting directly from the festival for Metalunderground.com."
"Promotion of this event to an American audience benefits the Hammerslag Vinterblot Festival, the Norwegian Extreme Metal Scene, and metalheads alike," commented the festival's organizer, Bjørn Almar Rolstad Johansen. "We hope to bring the US and Europe closer together in the metal community so we can share all the great music being made in both continents. This year's festival is a much bigger production than in past years. The festival has outgrown the ancient church where it was held the past two years and has now moved to a bigger venue. We are thrilled that all of the hard work that has been put into Hammerslag is paying off and that this year we will be able to celebrate the darkest time of the year with even more metalheads."
Tickets for the Hammerslag Vinterblot Festival can be purchased at http://www.bilettservice.no/ or at the door.
In the coming weeks leading up to Hammerslag Vinterblot 2007, we'll be posting some interviews with these bands on the bill.

they did use the "B" Spirit of the Elder Gods, however, they were kind of forced to drop it b/c of its obvious connection w/ anti semitism and i dont think trym and samoth wanted their band labled as such (anti semetic) cause that type of thing can kind of pigeon hole a band if they want to sell a few records.......and they do kick f***in ass...

The need for a good coaching tips
For this week's ride I hooked up with Jakub Pieniazek a professional cycling coach living here in Mallorca. Jakub became a USA cycling certified coach in 2006 while residing in the Sates as an Amateur. He is currently the sports director of the Verva ActiveJet pro continental team and the coach of the Polish National hand cycling team. He also offers personalised cycling training to a number of our Marsh-Mallows guests and people living in Mallorca. Before we went out for a ride with his pro team, I grabbed 5 minutes to probe him a about training techniques.
DM – Tell me a bit about training with training zones
JP – When it comes to training to ride a bike, understanding your own training zones is key for someone training for a cycling challenge. Training zones refer to the intensity at which you are riding at and give you the ability to target specific improvements in your form. The figures for each of the zones are different for each individual and will again depend on that person's state of fitness. Riding at different intensities brings about different physiological adaptations
There are different theories with regards to the number of training zones, but the basis of all training zones is what we refer to as threshold. There are actually two different thresholds: aerobic and anaerobic threshold.
With the knowledge of the training zones for each of my riders I can work out a detailed plan to make sure they are on right track for their races or challenges.
DM – How do you find the training zones for each rider?
JP – To find the training zones, I need to test rider in real riding conditions or send the rider for laboratory test. In Mallorca lab tests are available at BiciMetrics Bike Studio. In other cases a rider needs to complete an outdoor test. I run two different tests depends of how "fit" rider is. Beginners go for 8min maximum effort (usually uphill) and experienced riders complete a 20min maximum session.
The data from test is helping me to find training zones. It is best to take the data from a power meter and heart rate Monitor… but just heart rate is enough to kick things off with.
DM – What is the difference between power & heart rate training?
JP – Training with power and heart rate is a little different. I prefer to have both sets of data from a rider's training – it is a great way to make comparisons overtime. For beginner power based training might be a little confusing. That's why always is better to contact experienced coach to guide you – even just to start off with. Training with heart rate is little easier from data reading point of view. The problem with the readings from a heart beat is they are not consistent with the effort you are exerting. For example, for a number of reasons, your heart rate may change from one day to another day. It could be air pressure, dehydration, too much coffee, infection and so on. So training based on heart rate zones is prone to errors. Power, on the other hand, is a stable number.
It is based on the force and velocity at which you push your pedals..so the number on your screen shows exactly what your legs are doing. If power meter is correctly calibrated, the athlete is confident about the training he/she is completing. For beginners the biggest advantage coming from a power meter is their ability to accurately to track their improvements. You can't see this from heart rate readings. Thats basics.
DM – How do you track what your riders are up to?
JP – With all my athletes, I can see their data through TrainingPeaks. This is an internet based platform and as long as I have internet access, I can access this from anywhere in the world. It's essential with communication between coach-athlete. I go into the system, review the training that is completed and then make any relevant amendments to their training plan
DM – what should beginner riders be focusing on at the moment?
JP – At this time of year you should be getting some base training in – this will build fitness and form for next year. It teaches your body to utilise oxygen as efficiently as possible. Base training rides are typically long and at a medium intensity. Winter is therefore the perfect time to build you base.
This week's route
Our start point was The Barceló Pueblo Park Hotel in Arenal. In December and January many of the pro teams stay in this area. The hotels are switched on to their needs and it is a good location for them to get the base miles in (with the odd climb for interest).
Route Description
Our destination for the ride was Felanitx and the climb of San Salvador – a favourite during the winter months. With steep sections of over 10% and an average gradient of 7%, it feels longer than 4.6km. Along with the speed, the big difference when you ride with a group of pro riders are the roads you cycle on. You are in a group (two by two) and are riding at a constant 35-40km on the flat, so you tend to avoid the smaller country roads. It is much more about getting the job done. We head inland from Arenal on Ctra Militar and turn right onto the MA 19A. This is a straight 11km stretch of road to Llucmajor that rises 150m (and today is into the wind). Sitting in the group life is much easier and we rarely drop below 40kph. The pace doesn't drop and there is no picturesque stops in the square of Llucmajor or the cobbled streets of Porreres. At Felanitx, again we skirt the edge of the town and head straight up to the top of the climb – The San Salvador Monastery. The guys take the climb at different paces depending on their training plan, I sit at a steady 300 watts and am soon passed by all of them. The last section of the road, connecting the village to the monastery was built in 1961. It winds through the trees and you are rewarded with some spectacular views across the south of the island. At this time of year, there is little time wasted at the top, we quickly turn and head down for a coffee in Felanitx. We follow the same route back to Llucmajor where there is a split in the group, with the main bunch turning right and climbing to Cura via Randa. I continue with 4 of the guys, including Jakub, along the quieter Cami de Sa Torre passing the Hilton before turning right and heading into Arenal.

TGIM, friendly neighbors! It's a fresh new week filled with infinite possibility. Let's work it and own it.
1. Are you in the Dallas area? The RT Booklovers Convention is finally happening this week…and I will be there! I am psyched out of my head to be participating in what I hear is the most epic romance novel lovers' convention in the history of ever. Saturday, May 16 is Teen Day. I'll be doing three events on that day, plus events earlier in the week. Here's where you can find me. Hope to see you there, Dallas party people!
2. Speaking of epic events, the Epic Reads Spring Tour with Katie Cotugno and Maria Dahvana Headley was so much fun I almost didn't even mind the weird effects of my prescription motion sickness patch (dizziness and blurry vision, anyone?). Normally I would avoid heavy meds, but five flights in five days demanded busting out the big guns. Our publisher freaking rules for treating us like rock stars. We even got to stay at Trump International in Las Vegas! Look how glittery the lobby was:
Maria and Katie are seriously adorbs, right? Book tours in a group are always more fun and I was thrilled to be sharing the experience with these two beautiful authors.
3. Of course getting to meet readers is way more thrilling than any jacuzzi tub or spectacular view. That's why doing events is my favorite part of the job. I love love LOVE my readers so much that I cannot contain my excitement when I have the opportunity to meet them. And why should I? Especially when you guys impress me with how much we're like BFFs. Longtime dedicated reader Diana surprised me at A Great Good Place for Books in Oakland, CA (holla back, Kathleen!) with this wonderful gift bag of birthday presents:
How is she inside my head? She knows everything I like! And then rockstar reader Anna drove 6.5 hours each way to come see me at the Brentwood, TN Barnes & Noble with super fancy birthday cupcakes. Maria also surprised me with birthday cupcakes from the same bakery, so you know that particular bakery is what's up. The best birthday present I could ask for was spending the day on tour meeting readers. And eating cupcakes. And generally feeling the city love. Like being reunited with radiant friendly neighbor Ronni in Chicago. Ronni has been reading this blog for so long she deserves a prize. Gold stars for everyone who came out to see us on tour!
4. Did I treat myself to a birthday present? Hells to the YES. It was waiting for me when I got home:
Meet the Runway Gym Bag by Victoria's Secret. Holographic outside, patterned inside. Two big outside zippered pockets, five inside pockets, and shoe bag. Oh yes. I had been drooling over this gym bag forever and a day. We were meant to be. I mean almost all of my other gym gear is VSX, so this bag was pretty much my destiny.
5. Fantastic Book Review did this character interview with the girls of City Love. It's a cute way to meet Sadie, Darcy, and Rosanna. And find out who snores (although she totally denies it).
Here's to a shiny new week! Show your #citylove ❤

Article Text
An eight-month-old miniature zebu bull calf, 50 kg, was presented for evaluation of a moderate (grade 4 out of 5) right forelimb lameness of eight weeks' duration. Clinical and radiographic findings revealed a marked degenerative osteoarthritis of the right scapulohumeral joint. Arthrodesis of the right scapulohumeral joint via placement of two transarticular cancellous bone screws in lag fashion and a dorsolateral figure-of-eight tension band wire was performed. Final angle of arthrodesis was 122°. Short-term morbidity was minimal. The patient remained comfortable on the limb throughout the eight-day hospitalisation. By discharge, the lameness had improved (grade 3 out of 5). Long-term follow-up at six months was considered good for breeding soundness, though a gait deficit was present in the affected limb. Lag screw and tension band wire arthrodesis of the scapulohumeral joint should be considered a viable less invasive option in small ruminants with terminal scapulohumeral joint disease.

Each year the people of Waikato ready themselves to host the annual Koroneihana celebrations.
This year was the 12th year that Kiingi Tūheitia has held the responsibility inherited from his mother and tupuna as a vestige of Maori aspiration.
That role was established as a symbol of hope that would see intertribal warfare cease, that lands would be held and protected and that the Māori people would unite themselves as a force of self-determination and Mana Motuhake. That is the enduring legacy of the Kiingitanga movement and it binds tribes from across the country who through whakapapa continue to uphold those values and principles. For my nephews and nieces and the whanau in general 'manaakitanga' is the operative word.
Hundreds of people are hosted and fed over four days and this is a huge logistical undertaking that requires co-ordination, collaboration and organisation bringing a mass of voluntary workers together. No reira e ngā iwi o te motu tēna koutou, e ngā ringa waewae tēnā koutou, me ngā kaihāpai o te kaupapa tēnā koutou. Pai Mārire.

Long information
What is it and how is it used?
ZOSTAVAX is a vaccine used to prevent shingles (zoster) and zoster-related post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), the long-lasting nerve pain that follows shingles.
ZOSTAVAX is used to vaccinate individuals 50 years of age or older.
ZOSTAVAX cannot be used to treat existing shingles or the pain associated with existing shingles.
Disease information on shingles:
What is shingles?
Shingles is a painful, blistering rash. It usually occurs in one part of the body and can last for several weeks. It may lead to severe and long-lasting pain and scarring. Less commonly, bacterial skin infections, weakness, muscle paralysis, loss of hearing or vision can occur. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have had chickenpox, the virus that caused it stays in your body in nerve cells. Sometimes, after many years, the virus becomes active again and causes shingles.
What is PHN?
After the shingles blisters heal, pain can last for months or years and may be severe. This long-lasting nerve pain is called post-herpetic neuralgia or PHN.

The following information is intended for medical or healthcare professionals only:
Reconstitution instructions
The solvent is a clear and colourless liquid. Before mixing with the solvent, the powder is a white to off-white compact crystalline plug. When completely reconstituted, the vaccine is a semi-hazy to translucent, off-white to pale yellow liquid.
Inject the entire content of the pre-filled syringe into the vial containing the powder. Gently agitate to dissolve completely. Withdraw the entire content of the reconstituted vaccine vial into a syringe for injection. One or 2 separate needles may be available in the secondary packaging of the presentation containing the pre-filled syringe without the attached needle. The needle should be pushed into the extremity of the syringe and rotated a quarter of a turn (90-) to secure the connection.
It is recommended that the vaccine be administered immediately after reconstitution to minimize loss of potency. Discard if reconstituted vaccine is not used within 30 minutes.
Do not use the reconstituted vaccine if you notice any particulate matter or if the appearance of the solvent or powder or of the reconstituted vaccine differs from that described above.
Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
