Legal Templates Annual Scholarship
Who are we?
Legal Templates uses cutting edge technology to help people create legal forms at an affordable price. Our goal is to make simple legal services like creating a lease agreement, living will, or power of attorney more accessible, efficient, and less expensive for everyone.
What is our scholarship?
Our scholarship is designed to get our nation's youth to think critically about the interaction between laws and society, and how each shapes the other. Specifically, we will ask students to think about the relationship between gun ownership laws and gun violence rates in U.S. society.
Gun violence is a hot topic in Congress and around the country. Certain demographics voice strong opinions regarding their constitutional right to own a gun, and many citizens feel that owning a gun gives them a measure of security. Less than half of Americans favor stricter laws regarding the buying and selling of firearms, and in some states, buying a gun is as simple as exchanging a bill of sale.[1]
What are the issues surrounding gun violence in America?
According to a Pew Research Center survey, more than one in every three households in America have a gun, which is closely equivalent to one gun for every man, woman, and child in America.[2]
While overall homicide rates in the U.S. are slowly dropping, America's firearm homicide rate sits high above that of other developed nations. With over 3 firearm homicides per 100,000 people per year, this is more than 10 times the rate in countries like France, Germany, and the UK.[3]
What's more, mass shootings are occurring with increasing frequency.[4] During the whole term of his presidency, Obama has made 15 speeches after a mass shooting, the most recent of which prompted him to say that "somehow this has become routine."[5] Firearm violence and mass shootings inflict untold suffering on the families and communities of gun violence victims.
How do we solve this problem?
With support for gun ownership so entrenched and widespread, are there perhaps other ways to reduce firearm crime in America without resorting to gun ownership control?
This brings us to our scholarship topic: Create a law that would reduce the rate of gun violence and still respect the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
How to apply for the scholarship
Write a 500-800 word essay about a law you would submit to Congress which would bring about a reduction in the rate of gun violence in America while still respecting the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Submissions should be sent in Word or PDF form. We are looking for a solution to this problem which is both creative and practical. Infographics are also highly encouraged.
Your submission should be attached to an email and sent to email@example.com. The body of the email should include:
- Your name
- University attending (if applicable)
- A brief introduction about yourself
Applications will receive confirmation email upon receipt on our end.

Episode 829 – Paice Sues Hyundai-Kia, MINI Clubvan, Strong February Sales Expected
February 20th, 2012 at 11:30am
Runtime: 7:50
Hyundai and Kia are being sued for patent infringement with their hybrid technology in the Sonata and the Optima. Mini is showing off a utility version of the Clubman called the Clubvan before it premieres next month at the Geneva Motor Show. February car sales in the U.S. are expected to be near 1.1 million units, which translates to a SAAR of 14.3 million units. All that and more, plus a look at a sports car that's coming out of Mexico called the Mastretta MXT.

This is Autoline Daily for February 20th, as we kick off a new week of covering the latest news and developments in the global automotive industry.
Hyundai and Kia are being sued for patent infringement with their hybrid technology in the Sonata and the Optima. A company that Autoline Daily viewers should remember, Paice LLC, filed the lawsuit. Paice is seeking cash compensation and wants to prevent the companies from using the technology without permission. As you may remember back in 2010, Paice made millions on a settlement with Toyota after an eight-year battle for hybrid patent infringement. You can use the search engine on our website, Autoline.tv to find an interview I did with the executives at Paice some years ago.
Another day, another Mini. The premium small-car maker is set to premiere a new model at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Called the Clubvan, it's a utility version of the Clubman. It features a partition behind the front seats and a flat floor stretching all the way back to its split rear doors. Based on the pictures, this thing looks production ready. But given Mini's upscale reputation, is the Clubvan something it really needs in its lineup? Are buyers going to pay for a high-end work vehicle? The company is targeting fashion designers and gallery owners, not masons and general contractors, but still, wouldn't a vehicle like a Ford Transit Connect be a more cost-effective option?
The learning curve for in-car navigation systems can be steep. Every manufacturer has its own interface, which can make things confusing. How do I change the map to make north up again? Things would be a lot easier if you could just use your smart phone. After all, you're intimately familiar with how it works. Well, this is just what one company is doing. Devium has created a double-DIN receptacle for the iPhone 4 and 4S. Called the Dash, it allows drivers to access a variety of things on their phones — from maps to music and more. This project is being funded on Kickstarter. Units are expected to start shipping in June.
Car sales in the U.S. are expected to come in strong for February. Ward's Auto is forecasting that sales will be near 1.1 million units this month. It predicts that will translate to a seasonally adjusted annual rate or SAAR of 14.3 million units, the highest since the economy crashed in 2008.
Speaking about that crash . . . one of the issues that had risen to the forefront in this years' Republican primary for the Presidency of the United States is the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler. Front runners Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are claiming that both automakers would have been better off it the government had not bailed them out. Even more perplexing is that they claim GM and Chrysler could have found the money to continue operations even if the government had not come to the rescue. I don't know where those guys were living in 2008 and 2009, but everyone else on planet Earth knows those two companies collapsed because they couldn't get any more money. In fact, the global credit market choked up, something that the world still has not yet recovered from. The proof that GM and Chrysler couldn't get the money they needed is how Ford is being hailed as brilliant for going out and borrowing all the money it needed before the credit markets froze up. I wish the Republican candidates would get off this notion, but my guess is, the polls show that bashing the bailout plays well to their core constituencies.
Vamos amigos, andale, arriba! Coming up next, we're going to take a look at a sports car that's coming out of Mexico.
Mexico is a car-crazy country with a well-established automotive industry and has also produced some terrific racecar drivers. And now, a company called Mastretta is also trying to make Mexico known for its hand-built sports cars, with a model called the MXT.
The Mastretta is a pretty decently turned-out car. The development prototype I drove had a stumbly engine that wasn't fully calibrated, but I could still appreciate how this thing could be a barrel of fun to drive, especially at a track. I wish these guys well, but the history of the auto industry is littered with little companies that tried to break into the market.
And that wraps up today's show, thanks for watching, we'll see you tomorrow.

Reproducing the truthful "Expression of the Artist" beyond space and time: the concept behind the design of ECLIPSE TD.
The history of speaker evolution is one of an attempt to reproduce original sound. This has been negatively affected by the importance given to creating sounds that emphasise both the lows and the highs. In doing so, important aspects of the original sound are lost due to the increased output and specific design of the speakers themselves. The only way to create a sense of unity between the artist and the listener, beyond the impediments of both space and time, is through an exact reproduction of the sound field, to present a live performance in your living room.

text: In Caracas reporting on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez winning an "unprecedented third term" for Monday's NBC Today, reporter Kerry Sanders seemed to be swept up in the excitement: "For Chavez's supporters, his reelection is an emotional moment in history. Fireworks filled the skies. As a street party continued well into the early morning hours. A Chavez victory, say supporters, means his brand of socialism is here to stay."

…almost. For all intents and purposes, Beckett's (it's nice to use his name now) nursery is completed. There are just a few minor things to do (hang some diy hooks, paint the closet, organize the closet), but I am pleased with how everything turned out. It's been quite the process, one that we completed a week before Beckett decided to join our family.
If you don't remember, we started with this:
Then we had "the wall".
Which turned into this.
Now, we finally have a room just for Beckett.
There it is. The nursery in
all its most of its glory. Beckett loves it. Ha, he's taken one nap in there, had a few diaper changes, and gone with Mommy to get clothes out of his closet, and that's it. Currently, Beckett is sleeping in a bassinet in our room. We figured that since his room is next to Harrison's we'd be better off having him in our room for the first month or so while we establish a sleeping routine. Harrison can sleep through anything, so it's more to relieve my stress of worrying Harrison will wake up when we go to get Beckett. Yep, so all that hard work, and, right now, our little peanut sleeps here:
In case you're wondering, here's a little breakdown of where items in Beckett's room came from:
- Crib: Baby Mod Modena 3-in-1 Crib from walmart.com
- Chair: Morgan Chair from worldmarket.com
- Ottoman/basket: already owned, but purchased from Target a few years ago
- Faux sheepskin rugs: Ikea
- Floor rug: blanket purchased from an estate sale
- Cardboard antelope head: gift from David when he was in Munich last summer
- Curtains: Grayson Grommet Window Panel from Target
- Shelving unit and drawers: Expedit system from Ikea
- Drawer pulls: HomeGoods and World Market
- Wire baskets: Smith & Hawkens baskets on clearance at Target
- Lamp: T.J. Maxx
- Ceiling light fixture: Irving Burlap Shades, set of 3, from World Market (we put one in the closet and the other in Harrison's room using pendant conversion kits).
- Frames: already owned, from Ikea
- Prints: all the prints in the 8.5 x 11 frames came from Feed Your Soul. The bird prints are wrapping paper. The ikat fabric is a napkin from World Market. The grey and yellow prints are free downloadable printables from tatertots and jello.
- Shelving above changing table: Ikea spice racks
- Mobile: handmade; tutorial can be found here.

Yesterday, we had a nice group at the Sit and Knit session at Bound Brook Presbyterian Church. Church members Jung Dettleback, Peggy Southerland and Sharon Sara (hope I spelled her name right) were there, and it was especially nice to see Sharon because I hadn't seen her in about a year. I was there, of course (I'm not a member, I just knit with them) and my friend Rose from the Library Loopers came, as did Kae Gregis from the group at the North Brunswick Library. Quitiera, we missed you. I hope you'll come back next time, on July 11. We also missed Val Yacik, the founder of our Prayer Shawl Ministry at BBPC, but I heard she was out of town and didn't know if she'd make it back in time for our session.
Mostly, I worked on my La La's Simple Shawl for a Fallen Soldier. Jung almost finished her Multnomah Shawl. She used a couple of different blue yarns in it and it looks great. Sharon is working on a purple prayer shawl (tradition k3, p3), Peggy was working on another lacy prayer shawl, this time in a yellow yarn that looked very summery, Rose was working on her cotton throw/beach blanket and Kae is coming down the home stretch on a knit-from-the-top one-piece raglan cardigan for her daughter. We had a lovely time. Again, I should've taken pictures, but I didn't.
BTW, Jung, if you're reading this, would you look in the canvas bag with my Strawberry Shawl and see if my bamboo scarf is in there? We couldn't find it after you left, so I'm hoping I stuck it in that tote bag by mistake.
For the rest of you, I'm referring to a feather-and-fan scarf that I started back in February, which I take out on occasion when I want to knit and not have a big project with me. I brought it last night because the bamboo yarn is easier to knit with than acrylic in the heat, but I never worked on it because when I was finally ready to switch projects and work on it, I couldn't find it. Jung took my Strawberry Shawl with her so that it can be blessed at the Prayer Shawl meeting on Wednesday afternoon, while I'm at work.
Anyway, the Petalicious sweater problems still aren't solved. Kelly confirmed that I understood the pu PB correctly, and she explained that she designed that to eliminate any lacy holes in the leaves. So that interesting procedure is not what is throwing my stitch count off. I told her I would tink back to row 21 and see if I could figure out why my stitch count is off. This will require a large block of time, and I'm not sure if I'll have that today. Kelly said she hopes it's not a typo, and I'm secretly hoping it probably is, but I have already eaten humble pie on this project and I'm sure I'll eat more before it's all over. It could very well be that I misunderstood or misread the directions, I just don't think so. 😉
Gwynne Lassiter from Swap on a Budget and I are planning to go to Yarn Diva in Hillsdale later this morning, timing our visit to coincide with Mary Ellen, a new member of SOAB, who works close enough to the shop to pop over during her lunch hour. Also, Arlene, who lives in Bergen County, wanted to meet us there and take us to a couple of other nearby LYSs, although I don't know if I have the time for 3 yarn shops and Gwynne doesn't want to tire herself out. I think Gwynne and I will try to grab some lunch while we're up there, too. I don't have phone numbers for Arlene or Mary Ellen, but they have mine, so I am hoping they will call and we can work all this out. I've been trying to meet Arlene for a year, and it would be especially fun to meet her.
I'm also supposed to drop toys and clothes off at the Early Childhood Intervention Center today. Lynne Ewen dropped off some baby blankets and cute balls on Friday. I also have the Comfort Dolls and my teddy bears. And I have to go to the bank and get my backyard mowed. I hope I can get all this done!
Never mind me. You take it easy, and keep knitting!

Dear Twenties,
Wow. I can't believe we only have one more day together - how time has flown. This was the first decade when I was actually able to label it a common name; prior to this I was either a "pre-teen" (weren't THOSE years attractive!) or a Teenager and, now that I think about it, let's just pretend those didn't happen, ok? Thanks.
Oh Twenties, we've certainly had some good times together, many of which were evidenced by yesterday's pictorial representation of my fashion snafus. But that's not even the best of it. Remember back when I wrote A Letter to Alcohol and it got forwarded around the internet without attribution? That was fun. (I'm still waiting for my residual checks for that one.) Remember when I first entered this fantastic decade, standing at Four Corners hollering "Buy Me A Shot - It's my 20th Birthday!" and then hitching a ride home from the campus shuttle and waking up my visiting mother by throwing a stuffed animal at her? I should have known then that the times ahead were sure to be eventful. I haven't been disappointed.
That's not to say I haven't been sad. I've had my share of heartbreak in the past ten years, whether it was the demise of a relationship or friendship, the horror of September 11th (the aftermath of which I still feel every single day of my life) or the overwhelming feeling of inadequacy that inevitably happens as we experience one (of many) quarter life crises. Yet through it all, through every loss and failure and tragedy, I've kept going forward, trudging through my twenties with a sense of resolve and excitement and - dare I say it? - optimism that one day, SOMEday, all will be well. I made mention of this in a post I wrote last year, about the tenacity of the heart, and I stand by it. The heart is a muscle, and as with any muscle, we need to exercise it and push it to the limit and even tear it a little for it to repair itself and grow stronger. And that's what I believe...we have to love and live wholeheartedly, fervently, regardless of the consequences, to maintain this forward movement.
And so onward I go, forging into new territory; namely, my Thirties. THIRTIES! How did *I* get to be 30? (Well, in a few hours...) There's so many things I *thought* I would have done with you, Twenties! I figured I would have had a wedding! Perhaps a little Aubs or two! Maybe even have said the "L" word but, well, you know what they say about best laid plans... After all, think of the things I hadn't anticipated! Who would have thought I would have worked for Google? Or moved to California? Or put BROWN STREAKS IN MY HAIR? I mean, Aubs isn't Aubs when Aubs isn't blonde. I guess that just proves that life is all about surprises.
So it's with that attitude that I bid you farewell, Twenties. While I didn't do everything I *thought* I would have (naive assumptions made over 10 years ago), I've done everything I never even thought about and more. I feel like we've had a good run, you and I, and I think the FULL COMPLETION of my to-do list this morning shows that I'm ready to go, ready to leave you and move forward with a clean slate. With great precedent, yet without expectations. And so tonight, when I throw on my "SAVE BOOBS" t-shirt (proceeds going to Breast Cancer funding) and head to Hooters & a strip club with my guy friends, formally ushering in my 30's at the stroke of midnight while getting a lap-dance, I'll know I've done it in good conscience and can shut the door on an amazing decade.
Goodbye, Twenties, you've been the best. Thanks for everything. I can only hope that your successor lives up to your amazing example.
The end,
(Much) Love,

Great planning and preparation is 'key' to the accomplishment and satisfaction of any DIY project time well spent at this stages is more probably to give you the desired outcome that meets with your expectations, than if you rush into a job with paint and paint brush in hand just to give the room a facelift. Some renovation contractors specialize in incorporating a distinct style into the home's decor or remodeling particular rooms. Eligible expenditures included the renovation of kitchens, bathrooms and basements updating heating and air conditioning systems replacing old doors, windows and flooring and several other home improvements. Since i embarked on the blogging for my flat renovation, i have received comments and numerous emails asking me for the review of my contractor and i thought it is appropriate to come out with this piece a few months soon after moving in as right after-completion service is still as critical.
As soon as the bid has been prepared, the contractor will present it to the homeowner. This weblog has gone a extended way towards making me feel like there is a group of folks out there who DO believe it is typical to suspend your life in service to fixing up a residence. With a renovation loan, you are going to be in a position to finance a construction period of up to six months with only one set of closing fees and completely no prepayment penalty.
Even though on this check out, the homeowner might ask the contractor for photos of their previous projects or for references. If you want to add that worth to your house and want to start a house renovation project, here are six places in your property which are effortless value adders when professionally renovated. Personal loan : If you never have much equity offered, you may well contemplate a private loan.
For 203(k) acquire transactions the maximum loan quantity is the lesser of the sales value + renovation costs or 110% of the after enhanced worth, instances the maximum LTV. P.s.- depending on the tv show, I'd possibly rather be watching a fictional land of makebelieve… lol. If you devote a lot of time outside, then adding on or redoing a deck can be a single of the best things to renovate in a home.
If you're interested in studying a lot more about home renovation loans, our Mortgage Loan Originators are ready and eager to talk about the particulars of this valuable home-financing answer with you. I admit i salivate a lot when i sleep and it can be embarrassing whenever i sun my bolster outside the residence. Cleaning continued soon after the ritual as the newly renovated home continued to be rather dusty and i definitely couldn't stand the stinging smell of laminate glue employed for carpentry!…

'Beer is for Everyone' Two Roads Brewing Company event
The Trumbull Library is hosting a special off-site author event on Thursday, Jan. 25, at 6:30 p.m., at Two Roads Brewing Company, 1700 Stratford Ave., in Stratford.
Author, Em Sauter is giving a presentation about how beer really is for everyone in the Two Roads Event Room at the Two Roads Brewing Company. Sauter is the author of the book Beer is for Everyone.
The talk will be an educational and humorous introduction into the illustrated world Sauter has, created along with some tips for getting that uncle, friend, or coworker into beer in no time.
Sauter is the award winning cartoonist behind the website pintsandpanels.com, started in 2010
while she was studying at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, VT. In 2015, the website won Saveur Magazine's Award for Best Beer Coverage. In 2016, Sauter was named a Wine Enthusiast Tastemaker in their annual '40 under 40' issue. And in 2017, Sauter passed the Advanced Cicerone exam, a test that only 70 people in the world have passed.
Beer is for Everyone (of Drinking Age) is Sauter's first book. Her favorite beer style (at the moment) is Munich Dunkel.
The program is free and open to the public. A beer tasting is included. Registration is limited and is required through the library's website: trumbullct-library.org or by calling 203-452- 5197. Registrants must be 21 years of age or older. Those with a Trumbull library card receive a free copy of the author's book.

It is common practice in some techniques for putting in deep brain stimulator electrodes to keep patient's awake to make sure the electrode is in the right place and giving good symptom relief. Likewise for parts of some surgeries for brain tumors you might have a patient awake to "map" their brain surrounding the tumor so as to not damage important parts that control things like movements or speech. You may ask patients to do certain tasks while they're awake so that you can see if the stimulation is working or see if an area of the brain is involved in such a task. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone playing the guitar during a surgery however.

Begun in 1960, the US Navy's Marine Mammals Systems's (MMS) press gang captured several dolphins for hydrodynamic studies of underwater torpedo design. In 1969, the Navy expanded its experiments with marine animals to other ocean dwellers considered intelligent by human standards. The navy has begun advertising itself as a proponent of environmental renewal. However the recent deaths of nontrainee dolphins and whales have placed the Navy in an unflattering spotlight and tarnished its image as champion of environmental protection. In conjunction with allegations of injuring wild populations of dolphins and whales, accusations of abusing marine mammal trainees have also been leveled against the Navy.

How this course is delivered
COVID-19 has changed everything. We've made some changes to the way our courses are taught to keep everyone safe and that will help you stay connected and involved in university life.
From the start of term in September, you'll learn through a blend of on-campus and digitally enabled remote learning that will provide lots of opportunities to interact and engage. Together with carefully managed access to libraries, labs, workshops and studios this means your studies are as collaborative, practical and flexible as possible.
Find out what these changes mean for this course
Course structure

Year 1
The first year introduces key themes in physical, human and environmental geography, with core modules that cover the physical forces of landscape change, the impacts of environmental change on the physical and human environments and the human modification of environmental processes.
This module provides a theoretical and practical introduction to azonal (tectonic, climatic, hydrological, fluvial, coastal, slope, aeolian, and biogeographical) and zonal (glacial and periglacial) physical geographical systems. You will examine the ways in which these systems interact with and influence human activities, both at the present day and over archaeological timescales.
This module introduces pressing global environmental issues which you'll explore through natural science and social science case studies. The module focuses on scientific, social, economic and political aspects of current and past environmental issues and examines how some of the issues may be addressed through interdisciplinary management and mitigation.
This module provides a critical introduction to key themes in human geography. You will develop an appreciation of geographical concepts such as nature, space, place and scale through consideration of geographies of global political-economic change, past and contemporary cultural geographies and geographical imaginations, and social geographies of everyday life.
This module will introduce you to academic study skills, fieldwork skills and transferable skills for geography and environmental sciences. The module will support you in how to learn at university, and in particular, with learning independently. You'll also take part in a residential field course where you will learn field data collection and analysis techniques, methodology design and how to present research findings.
This module will introduce you to a variety of techniques utilised in both the academic and professional world for the analysis of geographical and environmental data. Emphasis is placed on developing skills and abilities to graphically/visually display data and assess patterns/relationships through statistical testing, and geospatial display and analysis. The module will introduce you to and allow you to become a competent user of statistical software.
In this module you will explore and discuss the four 'spheres' of the Earth system: the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and how they interact to produce the stratigraphic record of Earth history.
This module will introduce you to key concepts, debates and issues in the sub-discipline of urban geography. It aims to provide you with detailed knowledge of the character and history of selected cities and urban settlements, drawn from both the Global North and the Global South, and their place within wider systems. Case studies of cities, towns and urban settlements seen as exemplifying social, cultural, economic and political processes of urban change and patterns of urbanisation will be explored.
This module will introduce you to key concepts and principles in both ecology and conservation science – illustrated with case studies. The links between ecology and conservation and also between theory and applied research are emphasised
This module introduces key concepts surrounding past societies and the way they viewed, interacted with, and changed their environment. You will explore the techniques and theories that archaeologists use to engage with the past, and how the subject of archaeology interacts with physical and human geography. You will explore human impacts on past environments and put how the modern landscape has been created through the human activities into context.
*Option modules are indicative and may change, depending on timetabling and staff availability.
Year 2
In your second year you can choose modules across physical, environmental or human geographies or choose to specialise in physical or environmental geography. Fieldwork includes a trip to Sicily.

If Google has one thing to say about Google Plus, it's this: Photography is going to be huge.
During a press event in San Francisco yesterday, Google's Vic Gundotra delivered 18 new features for the social network designed to help its photography enthusiasts take, edit, share, and organize photos. Gundotra also shared some big, updated user numbers: 540 million active users now upload 1.5 billion photos to Google Plus each week. (By comparison, Instagram users share about 385 million photos per week.)
"We're not building a service for lightweight sharing," Gundotra said of Google Plus. Here's what the best new Google Plus features can do:
Animated GIFs
Google knows you love GIFs. So they're cropping up across the network, including directly in your Google Plus stream, where you can now also share your location and text with friends through newly added SMS support.
Better-Looking Google Hangouts
Google Hangouts now support full-screen video calls that add some new visual effects to change up the way you look onscreen. Poorly lit Hangout members now get a lighting boost, and new filters let you chat in black-and-white spotlight mode.
HDR Scape For Snapseed
Snapseed, the suite of free photo-editing tools Google acquired last year, got a wow-worthy new filter that mimics a pro technique called HDR, which photographers use to layer identical photos shot with various exposures. The resulting images often closely resemble what we see with the human eye.
Auto Awesome
Auto Awesome, Google's set of photo tools that let you remix your pictures to create new, "fun" versions, got some new adds. Among the most fun: A Motion feature will detect when you take a series of at least five photos in succession and stitch them together to create a short animation.
Auto Awesome Action takes all the photos you took of someone in motion–whether they're dancing, running, or jumping– and merges them together into a single shot that looks like this:
Auto Awesome Eraser will detect any moving objects that accidentally sneak into your shot and magically "erase" them out of the photo.
Movies Of Myself
One Auto Awesome feature is particularly intriguing: Movies will create short films by automatically editing and compiling the videos and photos you took around an event or experience, and adding one of dozens of licensed tracks to the video. Once Google is done, it will send you a push notification so you just click and share.
If you don't like one of Google's machine algorithm-based editorial choices, you can always go in and edit movies yourself. Movies are currently only available on a handful of Nexus and HTC devices that run Android's Jelly Bean OS and up.

She is the author of "The Everything Health Guide to Arthritis." Learn about our editorial process Carol Eustice Medically reviewed by Medically reviewed by Grant Hughes, MD on November 09, 2016 linkedin Grant Hughes, MD, is a board-certified rheumatologist. He is an associate professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine and the head of rheumatology at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center. Learn about our Medical Review Board Grant Hughes, MD Updated on December 02, 2019 Print More in Osteoarthritis Living With Symptoms Treatment Knee Osteoarthritis Causes & Risk Factors Diagnosis Support & Coping Subchondral sclerosis is a thickening of the bone in joints. It can affect people who have osteoarthritis and result in painful bone spurs. Fortunately, subchondral sclerosis is easily detected, and there are several treatment options available. Subchondral sclerosis is commonly seen in joints of the knee, hip, spine, and foot. ChooChin / Getty Images Symptom and Causes To understand what subchondral sclerosis is, it helps to have a clear picture of how osteoarthritis affects the joints of the body. Not only does osteoarthritis degrade the cartilage in a joint, but it also wears away at the subchondral bone underneath the cartilage. As the body tries to regrow (remodel) this bone, it comes back thicker than before, resulting in subchondral sclerosis. It is most commonly detected in the later stages of osteoarthritis. Subchondral sclerosis can cause painful bone spurs and, in some cases, reduce the range motion in the affected joint. The loss of height is also common, especially if the knee, hip, or spine are affected. When occurring in the knee, the locking of the joint can sometimes occur. Risk factors for subchondral sclerosis include genetic predisposition, female gender, older age, obesity, previous joint injury, joint malalignment, or abnormal joint shape. Diagnosis When you have an X-ray as part of the diagnostic process for osteoarthritis, subchondral sclerosis is one of the things the radiologist looks for and observes. It shows up on X-ray as a denser area of bone just under the cartilage in your joint, appearing as abnormally white bone along the joint line. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may also be ordered as it is better at imaging soft tissue damage. The presence of subchondral sclerosis can in no way predict how your osteoarthritis will progress. You should not assume that your condition is worsening if subchondral sclerosis is diagnosed. In fact, a study published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage suggests that subchondral sclerosis may prevent cartilage loss in people with varus knee osteoarthritis. According to the researchers, the overgrowth of bone may sometimes help realign bowed knee joints and prevent excessive abrading. Another study published in 2014 similarly found no significant association between baseline subchondral sclerosis and an increased risk of cartilage loss in the knee. Treatment Much like osteoarthritis, there is no cure for subchondral sclerosis. But, there are steps you can take to slow its progression and reduce painful symptoms. Low-impact physical exercise, including using a stationary bike, yoga, and swimming are excellent ways to keep the affected joints active. In people who are overweight, losing weight is also recommended as a way to reduce stress on their joints. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy, hydrotherapy, or more holistic medical treatments, such as acupuncture. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, also may be recommended. For more serious cases, there are prescription medications which may help to provide relief. In general, anything that relieves osteoarthritis symptoms will help subchondral sclerosis symptoms as well. In some severe cases, surgery to remove the excess bone growth may be recommended. As with any chronic condition, consult with your doctor to determine the best course of treatment for your symptoms. A Word From Verywell Subchondral bone is more than an image on an X-ray. It is involved with and is affected by what is happening with the cartilage in a joint. When cartilage is thinned in osteoarthritis, the bone reacts. You can keep your joints as healthy as they can be by low-impact exercise and physical therapy. Should I Worry About Subchondral Cysts? Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

Insurance is something that most people have, but hope to never need. Sometimes it can feel like the monthly expense of various insurance policies – homeowners, auto, life, health, etc – just isn't worth it when you hope never to need the coverage you pay for. Even so, insurance is something that you should definitely have.
In some cases, having some type of insurance is required by law. You are required to carry at least a minimal amount of auto insurance if you're a driver. Other times it may not be a legal requirement, but a lender may require you to have it. If you have a mortgage, a lender may require you have homeowners insurance. If you take out a loan for a car, you may be required to have collision insurance. In these situations, you really have to have insurance, even if you don't wind up ever needing it.
However, as much as you hope to never need it, disasters happen. As careful as you can be, you rarely can anticipate everything that will happen to you. A home fire, a burglary, a car accident, a natural disaster… any of these things can happen, even when you've done everything possible to prevent it. And if you are faced with this kind of disaster, you don't want to wind up destitute in order to pay for it. If you lost your entire home in a fire with no insurance, you'd be forced to pay for that out of pocket. Especially when you've reached a point in life where you have large investments, such as a home or a car, you want those things to be protected. With insurance, you may still face the awful tragedy of losing something important to you, but you'll have the financial resources to put your life back together.
It is important to determine the kinds of insurance you need. You obviously need whichever kinds are legally required in the state you live in, or the types a lender requires. But additionally, you should figure out what other types may benefit you. Sometimes the minimum required types you're required to carry aren't enough. An insurance plan that offers more protection may be something that will benefit you. It's equally important to determine the kinds of insurance you don't actually need. For instance, many homeowners insurance policies don't cover earthquake damage, so purchasing an earthquake insurance policy is something you have to do separately. But if you live in a region that rarely or never has earthquakes, that's a policy you can probably do without.
There are also always many options available to you when it comes to finding an insurance policy that fits and your needs. There are literally hundreds of insurance companies out there, and you can compare their rates and protections to make sure that you get what suits you best.

Having lived in Mumbai all my life, I don't like it when I get told I'm 'not really from Mumbai', because I live too far in the suburbs. And that happens much too often. Especially by people who are born in a relatively older part of Mumbai, with no effort on their part.
When I chose to go to a college that is in 'town' – the oldest area of Mumbai – I was told I'm going too far. That I'd be spending too much time travelling and meeting a different set of people altogether. But I was not prepared for the blank look I got when I told these people where I lived.
"But that's, like, really far! How long does it take for you to get here?"
"An hour"
"Wow, I can't imagine what I'd do if I had to travel that much to get to college!" they said.
And it's not just them 'townies', most of us are like that. Everyone who lives to the south of us is cooler, and everyone who lives to our north is by default a loser. It's the unsaid caste system of Mumbai.
And it doesn't just end with the townies vs burbies. There are the people who live on the Central line (Ghatkopar, Mulund, Bhandup), who are supposed to be even worse for wear than us poor burbies; and if you're from New Bombay, may God save you!
Even in respective suburbs, everyone knows that if you live in West – you're bound to feel superior to the ones who live in East. It really never ends. Someone once told me that in the early 80s, there was a proposal to shift all the Government offices (like Mantralaya) to New Bombay. If that would have happened, some people still argue, the city's nucleus would have shifted and the "town" wouldn't be as sacred.
I disagree. Even as more and more offices shift towards the "burbs", even as more and more international clothing brands and the hippest pubs open shop in Bandra – the most iconic pictures of Mumbai are the ones taken from or of Marine Drive, isn't it?
I'm not taking sides here, but that part of the city is old and beautiful. And while we can all go on dissing 'townie girls' and 'lokhandwala dudes', it becomes inevitable when you live in a city as vast as ours. London has Soho, New York has Manhattan and Mumbai has SoBo. Simple.
Can we just say, though, that this city we're all fighting to claim as ours, is still more of a city to the slum dwellers and out-of-towners, than any of us. They're the ones who come here looking for something when the city takes them in and becomes home for them. We were just born here, they made their choice in coming here and made a place for themselves.
On which side of this divide do you stand? Go on, tell me.

The purpose of the Stewardship Commission, a ministry in itself, is to create a sense of sharing of God's gifts with others throughout the parish and the community outside the parish. Parishioners are encouraged to look within themselves and share their time and talent in an unselfish manner to glorify the Lord through evangelization and education. It acts as a coordinating organization by helping other ministries understand and work with one another to provide parish and community services to those in need of greater spirituality and the knowledge that God loves them and is always there for them. We strive to connect ministries with one another and create an attitude of togetherness in Christ.

The Day I Got MarriedThursday, May 25, 2017
India, May 24 -- I remember the beautiful crack of dawn that spread its blanket of golden rosy hues across the sea and sand, on the most important day of my life - the day I got married! Birds chirped an inexplicably melodious medley. I calmly inhaled the fresh morning air and awaited the events to unfold to celebrate my last day as a bachelorette. This day I would renounce my title of a Miss and wear the badge of a Mrs. I remember the sounds of music and the great fanfare that filled the surroundings. Family and relatives were exuberant. There was fun, frolic and laughter. I remember how my parents were fastidious about every minor details concerning my wedding. Parents go through waves of mixed emotions on their daughter's marriage. They are happy for her new beginning and sad that their beautiful journey with their little one is going to change its course. I remember how my anxiety levels hit the ceiling. I was disquietude. My mom who meant the world to me wouldn't be around as often from now on, to help me with my daily chores or take care of me when I am unwell. I would miss my dad's unconditional love and support, our fun verbal duels, playing pranks on other members of the family and the confidence that his presence instilled in me. I would miss the love-hate relationship with my brothers. Our arguments regarding our room, cleanliness, etc would soon turn from a reality to a memory to be cherished for life. I would miss my home and my surroundings, I was brought up in. I remember whipping my body into the perfect shape that it could be for the D-Day. I remember praying to the rain gods to not play a spoil sport and ruin my dream wedding. I remember praying and hoping that I do not mess up my wedding dance by forgetting the dance moves. I remember stressing and being fastidious about my wedding attire and all my wedding trousseaus. The care with which a bride-to-be selects her wedding gown is inexplicable. The day she steps into this attire, she is not only going to be the centre of people's attention but her heart is also going to be the centre of varying emotions. It is a bitter sweet feeling. You are happy to begin your life with your prince charming and sad that your beautiful life with your parents is going to change. I remember the vidaai. Vidaai is the moment that dons on the bride that now is the time to depart from her family. The flood gates guarding my sea of emotions were lifted. Emotions held no bar. It is said that a bride's Vidaai can put the most impassive person to tears. It is a paradox that the bride cries on her most awaited day. This goodbye that the parents say to their daughter, a brother to his sister is the most tearful. My mom who is the coolest cried like a baby to let go off her daughter. My dad and brother hugged me and wept profusely. I remember the warmth and comfort in the eyes of my husband as he gracefully held my hand to step together into our new life to fulfil our wedding vows to each other.

Listening in to the orientation session at a 'Becoming a Mentor' program, the organizer repeatedly reminded us that we, the mentors, get more out of mentoring than that what we put in. That mentoring is a two way process and apart from the satisfaction of being able to guide and help someone in their path to a good life, the mentor greatly benefits.
I sat there thinking that it was quite true. After each mentoring session I could go home feeling all warmed up inside, much like the…Continue

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder with no cure. Of mouse models used to study ALS, the SOD1G93A mouse is the most common, although its use is limited owing to a short lifespan (∼16 weeks). Acevedo-Arozena et al. now characterise in detail the more recently reported SOD1G93Adl low-copy transgenic, which lives for ∼34 weeks. They find that genetic background and gender both influence lifespan and disease course. In addition, SOD1G93Adl mice are abnormal in the startle-response test, which the authors introduce as a new assay for use in SOD1 transgenic mice. The data support wider use of the SOD1G93Adl strain, as it is well suited for studying early-stage ALS. Page 686

Invisible.io Announces Sales
Acceleration Platform RevenueGrid
Dreamforce' 17: 48 Hours of Innovation at a Glance
It's hard to believe that Dreamforce 2017, one of the most renowned and anticipated events in the IT world organized by Salesforce, is over.
Our team headed by our CEO, Vlad Voskresensky, was proud to present SmartCloud Connect at the biggest software conference across the planet (171,000 attendees and over 10 million online viewers from 91 countries). It was a great chance to learn about new trends, reconnect with friends, evaluate competitors and have fun at the Dreamfest. It was then that we started seriously regretting the impossibility of cloning, which would be the only way to attend all of the "can't miss" events on our schedules.
The four days packed with sessions, insights, hands-on trainings, presentations, talks by celebrities both in IT and the real world (Hollywood, actually, but we'll get to that later) left so many impressions and so much to reflect on that it is only now that they've been put into words and are ready to be shared.
So, here is a short recap of Dreamforce 2017.
Artificial Intelligence is driving the 4th industrial revolution
Dreamforce has made it clear that AI is the future of each business, regardless of size, and, according to Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO, it's "the future of all Salesforce applications."
Salesforce unveiled numerous updates on its AI platform Einstein and introduced myEnstein – the machine learning platform that allows creating AI powered apps without coding, simply by clicks. Such democratization will make AI more accessible and focus on letting everyday users build artificial intelligence functions, like predictive algorithms or chatbots without the need for a special skillset.
The AI experts agree that AI is a powerful tool for handling complex tasks, building a sequence of actions to take in order to pursue a set goal and an indispensable instrument for businesses that value their data and want to make use of it.
Salesforce to partner with Google
As two leaders in their spheres have announced strategic partnership, Salesforce customers can expect smarter experiences. Thanks to integration of Google Analytics 360 and G Suite into Salesforce core, companies using the world's #1 CRM will have access to complete consumer analytics including marketing, sales, and advertising data for better understanding of a buyer's experiences across all touchpoints.
Salesforce expanded and more personalized
Salesforce offers its customers sophisticated features for a more refined tailored experience. It includes the opportunity to customize each user's experience using specific business content and branding in myTrailhead, mySalesforce app, myLightning, myEinstein and myIoT.
Inspiration from Hollywood celebrities
Wondering what Ashton Kutcher or Natalie Portman could be talking about at the software conference? Very important and relevant things, it turns out. Ashton Kutcher, a co-founder of Thorn, the mission of which is to fight human trafficking of children and exploitation using technology, was very emotional in his talk emphasizing that it is humans who make technology a force for good – or for evil.
Natalie Portman delivered a speech as part of the Equality Lineup titled "The Path to Equal Pay," and shared how pay disparity between men and women is directly affecting her in her job as an actress and what she's doing to fight it.
Dreamforce '17 provided all of its attendees with countless opportunities to grow, develop, connect and be acknowledged. Startups had the chance to make their pitch and win an investment opportunity, attendees could donate their time and/or money to helping others, students caught their opportunities to learn new things in coding etc.
The SmartCloud Connect team is happy to be moving in the right direction by implementing the power of machine learning and AI into its product. We are proud to have been a part of this iconic event and we're looking forward to Dreamforce '18 to showcase our new innovations for Salesforce.

How safe is a Private window? Follow
Unless using Tor The Tor network disguises your identity by moving your traffic across different Tor servers, and encrypting that traffic so it isn't traced back to you. Anyone who tries would see traffic coming from random nodes on the Tor network, rather than your computer., sites can learn your IP address when you visit them — even inside a Private Window.
From your IP address, sites can often guess roughly where you are — typically your city and sometimes can be much more specific. Sites will also know everything you specifically supply them, such as search terms or input fields. If you log in, the site will know you're the owner of that account. You will be logged out when you close the Private Window because Brave will throw away the cookie which keeps you logged in.
Although it is Brave's mission to make you hard to track online, sites can remember you by your IP address (or some other ways to recognize your device) and connect your browsing information in a Private Window with your other traffic in Brave.
