I know it sounds difficult (maybe?) I just got a new VR headset. I did try to play some VR videos on it. It was amazing. So, I started to wonder, is it possible to convert normal video (like MP4 files) to VR format. If it is possible, I can convert my favorite movies to VR format and enjoy them with my VR headset. If any of you know how to do it, please tell me. Thanks in advance!
Apparently, there is an application that states it can convert videos to the VR format. I've checked its page and it appears that it does what it says, but if I were you I would take it with a grain of salt.
Convert a video to a new technology isn't just a simple operation like add video, convert, save, play.
You can give it a try using the following link: http://www.ifunsoft.com/ifunvideoconverter.php
Note: Make sure your antivirus is turned on in case the software is bundled with other apps.
To convert video to VR format, there is a good and practical video converter, called Video Converter Ultimate which is capable of converting any video to 3D or VR mode. It has the output preset for Samsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, Ocuulus, etc. to make the virtual reality conversion easier. If necessary, you can take a try from the link below: http://www.videos-converter.net/video-converter-ultimate/

Importance of an Ecommerce Security
Security should dependably be your most astounding need on the off chance that you are moving on the web through your own Ecommerce website. It is additionally the situation that you can't work out your online security by trial and errors. You need to hit the nail on the head the first run through, in light of the fact that recuperating from missteps is troublesome for enormous business, and for all intents and purposes inconceivable for an independent company.
Don't store more information.
Numerous sites have confused structures to be filled in before a client can make even the most fundamental of buys. Regularly these structures are asking for a wide range of data that isn't important to the deal. This is normally the blame of the advertising office attempting to get pointless statistic or CRM data. The issue is that pre-deal isn't normally the right place to ask for that sort of information.
Legitimately you have a duty to secure the information that you store about your clients. There's even particular kinds of information that you're not lawfully allowed to store. All things being equal, numerous sites do store that data that they shouldn't store. It's greatly improved for you not to do that. The more data you store, the more there is possibly accessible for someone to take and venture. In the event that their burglary is found and followed back to you, there will be significantly more issues emerging out of that later on.
If you are collecting more sensitive information, you must need SSL
In a perfect world each webpage ought to have SSL of course, yet shockingly it's a significant issue to get SSL dealt with, and there are even real web organizations that fail to understand the situation
SSL gives you encryption that makes it progressively troublesome for someone to commandeer or generally meddle with the exchange. It likewise to some degree secures the data that is transferred. The most vital component of SSL—perhaps more critical than the encryption—is that it decidedly recognizes your site. Indeed, even this isn't flawless, however it's superior to nothing by any stretch of the imagination.
Making a conscious decision about processing your own transactions
Preparing exchanges in-house can spare you a minimal expenditure on every one. If you make low volume high esteem exchanges, the reserve funds could be critical. In any case, there are a ton of points of interest to utilizing outside installment frameworks like PayPal, Skrill, and WorldPay. The essential preferred standpoint is that you're never again straightforwardly gathering budgetary data from your client, and preferably not gathering any data whatsoever. This implies all the onus for PCI consistence and shopper information insurance falls on the shoulders of the installment benefit and not on your shoulders.
Before shipping the products, you must check all transaction details first
For a few Ecommerce organizations, this can be somewhat perplexing. In the event that you move advanced items, for example, eBooks for instance, clients as a rule hope to get their item right away. If you are selling physical stock, you have somewhat more time to check everything, and you should use it. Ensure the amounts, costs, and item portrayals coordinate what they ought to coordinate. Likewise watch that any rebate or coupon codes are legitimate. The one other thing you ought to dependably do is watch that discount demands coordinate the measure of the first exchange. It has been known for individuals to buy at deal cost and discount for the maximum, and staff don't generally take note.

I'm going to start a weekly feature on my blog where I will share one product with you that is vegan but you may not have known! These products will vary from healthy to unhealthy and everything in between. So I am going to kick this week off with something super unhealthy but super tasty.
This week's product is HERSHEYS CHOCOLATE SAUCE.
Ingredients: High Fructose Corn Syrup**, Corn Syrup**, Water, Cocoa, Sugar, Salt, Emulsifier: Xanthan Gum, Flavouring, **Produced from Genetically Modified Maize
My mum brought me this back from Costa Rica but I found that is for sale around different stores in the UK, although it is originally from the US. This sauce is super handy and tastes amazing and is good to always have in the house. I have had it on pancakes, banana bread, in hot chocolate or in milkshakes.
Let me know what you think to this feature on my blog, is it something that you would find useful? I personally love knowing, especially if I am fancying something unhealthy! I recently posted a pancake recipe which featured a lot of this chocolate sauce!

EDMONTON, Alta. — Each year, AJAC (Automobile Journalists Association of Canada) conducts an event to showcase the latest advancements in eco-friendly automotive powertrains.
EcoRun provides an opportunity to test the latest technologies, ranging from pure electric and hydrogen cell vehicles, to plug-in and conventional hybrids. The latest in high-efficiency gasoline and diesel engines are also included.
EcoRun helps inform Canadians about the alternatives available to them now and in the near future. Accurate consumption numbers recorded over two days and almost 1,000 km of driving on real world roads, has proven that vehicles are capable of not only meeting their published mileage claims, but exceeding them.
Nineteen journalists from coast-to-coast drove the vehicles over two days switching vehicles after each leg. EcoRun started in Edmonton and from there, Leg 1 took us to Red Deer. Leg 2: Red Deer to Drumheller, Leg 3: Drumheller to Calgary. We overnighted in Calgary then Leg 4 took us to Canmore, Leg 5 to Banff and Leg 6 back to Calgary.
Two issues became evident quickly: the logistical issue of electric vehicles, and the significance of speed. It was necessary to stop for a couple of hours every 150 km or so to allow the electric vehicles to be recharged.
EcoRun organizers had arranged the route to ensure the availability of 220 or 440-volt recharging stations at each stop. As for speed? It was fascinating to watch consumption figures change relative to speed and altitude change, dipping or plunging depending on the increase in speed or elevation.
Regular readers know my driving style is diametrically opposed to saving fuel. It took a concerted, and sustained effort to think and drive with fuel efficiency in mind and my right foot behaving.
EcoRun awards a green jersey to the winner, the person with the lowest average fuel consumption during the event. Because of the variety of powerplants, a points system has been developed to determine the winner.
Four of the previous seven winners took part this year. The best any of them could do was third with 3.03 points. The winner was Michael Crepault of Montreal with a 3.68. Michael not only was the best overall, he recorded the top score in four different vehicles.
Your scribe finished fifth at 2.87 and had the best score in three vehicles — the hydrogen fuel-cell powered Hyundai Nexus, the all-wheel-drive Prius and the new Ford Explorer hybrid. I managed 3.1 litres/100 km in the Prius, a personal best.
EcoRun was an opportunity to practise driving with fuel efficiency in mind. It also proved there are a number of highly efficient — and clean — vehicles on the market and several others coming very soon.
The personal highlights were hydrogen-powered Nexo, and the pure electric Hyundai Kona/Kia Niro cousins.
I'll be reporting on these three here in the coming weeks.
The entry list for the eighth annual EcoRun included vehicles with a wide range of power plants: hydrogen, pure electric, plug-in hybrid, hybrid, gasoline and diesel.
With only one exception, we were able to match or exceed the NRCAN ratings for every entrant.
The results with actual mileage, followed by their NRCan rating (litres or equivalent/100 km) were:
Hyundai Nexo 3.9 / 4.1
Hyundai Kona 1.7 / 2.0
Chevrolet Bolt 1.8 / 2.0
Kia Nero 1.9 / 2.1
Nissan Leaf Plus 2.2 / 2.2
Jaguar i-Pace 3.1 / 3.1
Mitsubishi Outlander 5.2 / 6.2
Toyota Prius AWD 3.7 / 4.7
Toyota Corolla 3.8 / 4.5
Lexus US 250h 5.1 / 5.6
Toyota RAV4 hybrid 5.4 / 6.0
Ford Explorer 8.0 / not yet rated
Hyundai Elantra 4.4 / 6.8
Mazda3 GS AWD 5.4 / 8.2

London title for Fairbairn's Riaz
PUBLISHED: 17:30 08 February 2017
Youngster impresses to lift silverware
Fairbairn's Tahaa Riaz continued his march along England Boxing's Youth title trail when he took the London 64kg title in style at Five Star BC, Harold Hill on Sunday.
Riaz had scored an impressive semi-final win at the venue a week earlier and was again tested by Northolt rival Sammin Mohammed in the final.
But the Ilford club entry proved too good for a determined opponent, building up an early lead and rocking his rival with solid blows in the later stages.
The unanimous verdict from the ringside judges sent new London champion Riaz forward to the national rounds of the competition.
Meanwhile, Fairbairn boxers clashed with strong rivals from Islington BC when the Ilford club staged a top-class tournament at East Ham Working Men's Club on Friday.
Martin McDonagh and Umar Khan were two home club boxers coming through with good wins in return bouts against north London rivals.
McDonagh and Freddie Kinsella swapped solid punches in an all-action encounter which saw the verdict go in favour of the Fairbairn boxer.
Clubmate Khan also took a points verdict over Dillon McDonagh when both boxers earned the applause in their crowd pleasing contest.
However, Islington's Kerem Serten came through as a narrow winner with a split verdict against home club rival Hamza Namajee, as Fairbairn's Steve McDonagh took the verdict against Tolga Kesan (Islington).
Honours were shared after two Fairbairn boxers, Michael Maughan and Tarim Ulhaq faced Dagenham BC opponents.
Dagger Ray Howell stepped up the pace with well-timed attacks to take the verdict against Maughan, but the result was reversed when Daggers Waqar Rafiq faced Tarim Ulhaq as, after a slow start, the powerful Fairbairn boxer finished strongly to triumph.
New boys Kye Basi and John McDonagh showed promising form in no-decision skills bouts, but the show stealer was the Southern Counties Youth Championship clash which saw John Johnson (The Ring) outpoint Hassim Azim (Pinewood) in a thriller.

Chef's Choice
Daniel Boulud on his favorite cheap eats in New York
Daniel Boulud, chef and owner of restaurants including Manhattan's haute-cuisine Daniel and DB Bistro Moderne (home of a $69 hamburger stuffed with foie gras and fresh truffles), doesn't do downscale. But when he's off the job, the French chef lays off the caviar. "Not that I live on junk food, but I like cheap eats," he says. In Paris, he goes for the bistro scene -- the "best and cheapest" of which is Le Comptoir in the Latin Quarter, where the chef's choice of five courses costs about $47. As holiday visitors from around the country sweep into New York, where fine-dining costs can be exorbitant, we asked him to pick...

Cellar Door Jams
Small Batch. All preserves are made in small batches. This allows us to get the most flavor out of the fruit so you taste pure fruit, not water or other preservatives.
Artisan. Cooking falls somewhere between craft and art. It is both creating something for general consumption, and experimenting with flavors that push boundaries. All of our preserves are made by hand using traditional methods, we hope that the care and attention to detail we take is evident in our premium product.
Local. Cellar Door preserves are proudly made in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan with local ingredients whenever possible which is good for the economy and the environment. Michigan grows a great variety of produce (more variety than any state besides California), we believe in embracing what Mother Nature gives us right where we are and make preserves that highlight the terroir of the upper Mid-West.
Sugar. Most of our preserves do contain sugar. Sugar is a natural and traditional preservative, and used in the right amount it enhances the flavor of the fruit. Our preserves always have more fruit than sugar.
PEACH BROWN SUGAR - Brown sugar brings out the caramel flavor of the peaches. A pinch of salt is added for a slight salted caramel effect. This preserve is incredible over vanilla ice cream, on toast, or paired with a strong cheese. Ingredients: Peaches, Brown Sugar, White Sugar, Lemon Juice, Salt, Cinnamon
RASPBERRY LAVENDER - Just the right amount of sweet and floral. Use as the middle layer of a cake, stir in to plain yogurt, or pair with strong cheddar cheese. Ingredients: Raspberries, Sugar, Lemon Juice, Lavender
BALATON CHERRY - Balaton cherries are a variety of sour cherries that originated in Hungary and are now grown in Michigan, they have gorgeous red flesh and a deep cherry flavor. This preserve is a Michigan treat to be sure. Ingredients: Balaton Cherries, Sugar, Lemon Juice
TOMATO RED PEPPER - Sweet, savory and a little spicy. This preserve is excellent with cream cheese, on a burger, or atop a grilled cheese sandwich. Ingredients: Tomatoes, Sugar, Lime Juice, Spices, Crushed Red Pepper, Salt.

The beauty of pellets is that they are an exact match to what a man produces. The pellets slowly dissolve over the next 4 months (3 -5 months is average for the 200mg T pellets pictured in the video.)

Feature Article
Vishal Hegde, MD; Armin Arshi, MD; Christopher Wang, BS; Zorica Buser, PhD; Jeffrey C. Wang, MD; Andrew R. Jensen, MD; John S. Adams, MD; Erik N. Zeegen, MD; Nicholas M. Bernthal, MD
The purpose of this study was to determine the relative incidence of postoperative complications in 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D)-deficient and -sufficient patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients who were either serum 25D deficient (25D <20 ng/mL) or 25D sufficient (25D ≥20 ng/mL) 90 days prior to primary TKA from 2007 to 2016 were identified using the Humana administrative claims registry. The incidence of postoperative medical and surgical complications was determined by querying for relevant International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and Current Procedural Terminology codes. Risk-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using multivariate logistic regression with age, sex, and Charlson Comorbidity Index as covariates. In total, 868 of 6593 patients who underwent TKA from 2007 to 2016 were 25D deficient, corresponding to a 13.2% prevalence rate. On adjustment for age, sex, and Charlson Comorbidity Index, 25D-deficient patients had a higher incidence of postoperative stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia (OR, 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39–2.04; P<.001), surgical site infection requiring irrigation and debridement (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.25–2.48; P=.001), and prosthesis explantation (OR, 2.97; 95% CI, 2.04–4.31; P<.001) at 1 year. Patients who were 25D deficient also had higher rates of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.36–2.38; P<.001), myocardial infarction (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.41–3.15; P<.001), and cerebrovascular accident (OR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.17–2.57; P=.006). Thus, serum 25D levels below 20 ng/mL are associated with a higher incidence of postoperative complications and may be a perioperative modifiable risk factor in TKA. [Orthopedics. 2018; 41(4):e489–e495.]
The annual volume of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures in the United States is expected to reach 3.5 million by 2030.1 This increase in volume will result in more patients experiencing postoperative complications such as prosthetic joint infection, chronic pain and stiffness, and medical complications, leading to considerable interest in prevention. One area of investigation is the perioperative modification of host risk factors. Although many risk factors, such as age, metabolic syndromes, and obesity, are relatively immutable, certain patient-specific factors related to general health, nutrition, and endocrine status are modifiable and may play a role in decreasing complication rates in TKA.2
One such modifiable risk factor that has gained recent attention is vitamin D deficiency.3–5 Unlike other risk factors that have previously been studied, the promise of vitamin D stems from 3 key features. First, epidemiologic data suggest that the prevalence of deficient (<20 ng/mL) 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) levels can exceed 50% to 80% in the arthroplasty population.4,6–8 Second, vitamin D is known to have significant implications in inflammatory, immune, and metabolic processes, including skeletal health and function.9 This includes mechanistic and animal studies that have elucidated the effect of 25D sufficiency on the innate and adaptive immune response.10–16 Finally, serum 25D levels can be quickly repleted using a Food and Drug Administration–approved, orally administered 25D3 product.17 Thus, the prevalence of 25D deficiency in the TKA population, the well-established mechanistic links to the human immune system and skeletal health and function, and the fact that 25D levels can be returned to normal rapidly with 25D3 treatment suggest that the serum 25D level is a perioperative modifiable risk factor for patients undergoing TKA.
Complementary clinical evidence also exists suggesting that vitamin D deficiency in arthroplasty is associated with worse functional and pain outcomes,6,18–21 longer hospital stay,22 and higher perioperative complication rates.23,24 However, to date, the literature has been limited by small samples from single institutions, follow-up within a relatively short-term perioperative period, and inconsistent adjustment of confounding comorbidities. The purpose of this study was to use a large, multi-institution administrative claims database to determine (1) the prevalence of 25D deficiency in the TKA population and (2) the relative incidence of postoperative medical and surgical complications among 25D-deficient and 25D-sufficient patients undergoing TKA.
The authors performed a retrospective review of the Humana administrative claims registry through the PearlDiver Patient Record Database (PearlDiver, Colorado Springs, Colorado) to identify patients who underwent TKA. This commercially available administrative claims database consists of approximately 20 million patient records from the Humana (Louisville, Kentucky) nationwide health insurance provider. Clinical diagnoses are queried using patient billing codes, including those classified by the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Current Procedural Terminology, and Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes.
Patients who underwent primary TKA between 2007 and 2016 were identified by querying for records of patients with Current Procedural Terminology code 27447 [arthroplasty, knee, condyle and plateau; medial AND lateral compartments with or without patella resurfacing (total knee arthroplasty)] as the primary index procedure, with preoperative plasma 25D (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes code 1989-3) queried within 90 days prior to the index surgery. Patients were then sorted into cohorts based on the most recent 25D as either 25D deficient (25D <20 ng/mL) or 25D sufficient (25D ≥20 ng/mL). This is based on the Institute of Medicine definitions and the association of risks to bone health with 25D levels of less than 20 ng/mL.25 Demographic and baseline characteristic data included patient age (reported in 5-year groups), sex, geographic region, International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision–coded medical comorbidities, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The CCI is a well-validated prospective tool to determine 1-year mortality based on 22 medical conditions.26 The aforementioned cohorts were queried to identify patients who had a series of postoperative surgical and medical complications based on Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes, respectively. Surgical complications (Table 1) included tibial and/or femoral revision, surgical site infection requiring irrigation and debridement and/or explantation of prosthesis, and stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia at both 3 months and 1 year after TKA. For tibial and/or femoral revisions, patients with concomitant irrigation and debridement and prosthesis explantation were excluded to identify revisions from noninfectious causes. Medical complication categories included deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism within 60 days; acute renal failure within 14 days; and acute myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident within 30 days.
Table 1:
Queried Surgical Complications Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Inferential statistics comparing the baseline age, sex, regional, and comorbidity distributions of the two 25D-stratified cohorts were performed using chi-square analysis. A 2-tailed Student's t test was used to compare the baseline CCI of the 2 cohorts. Statistical significance was defined as P<.05. Using the PearlDiver statistical analysis package, multivariate logistic regression with patient age, sex, and CCI as covariates was performed to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and associated P values for each complication category with 25D-deficient patients treated as the exposed group. All other statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 21 software (IBM Corp, Armonk, New York).
In total, 868 25D-deficient patients (25D <20 ng/mL) who underwent primary TKA were identified in the Humana database between 2007 and 2016. The comparison group consisted of 5725 25D-sufficient patients (25D ≥20 ng/mL) who underwent TKA during the same period (Table 2). This corresponds to a 25D deficiency rate of 13.2% in the TKA population who underwent preoperative serum 25D testing. In total, 157,340 patients underwent primary TKA during this period, corresponding to a 4.2% rate of preoperative 25D measurement. For the 25D-deficient cohort, the median and mode ages were both in the 65 to 69 years group; for the 25D-sufficient cohort, the median and mode ages were both in the 70 to 74 years group (Table 2). The age distributions were not statistically equivalent between the 25D-deficient and the 25D-sufficient cohorts (P<.001). Females comprised 77.3% of the 25D-deficient cohort and 75.5% of the 25D-sufficient cohort; the distribution of sex was equivalent between the 2 groups (P=.113). Most cases came from the South (25D deficient, 79.0%; 25D sufficient, 77.7%). The 25D-deficient cohort had a significantly higher incidence of comorbid diabetes mellitus (P=.039) and obesity (P=.010) and a significantly lower incidence of comorbid peripheral vascular disease (P<.001) and chronic kidney disease (P=.012) (Table 3). The 25D-deficient patients also had a higher average CCI than their nondeficient counterparts (P<.001).

The incidence of queried surgical complications is listed in Table 4. On adjustment for baseline age, sex, and comorbidities using multivariate logistic regression, surgical site infection requiring irrigation and debridement (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.25–2.48; P=.001) and explantation of prosthesis (OR, 2.97; 95% CI, 2.04–4.31; P<.001) had a higher incidence postoperatively among the 25D-deficient cohort at 1 year; the incidence of surgical site infection requiring irrigation and debridement was also higher among 25D-deficient patients at 3 months (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.48–3.00; P<.001). The 25D-deficient patients had a significantly higher incidence of postoperative stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia at both 3 months (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.34–2.07; P<.001) and 1 year (OR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.39–2.04; P<.001). Rates of noninfectious component revision were less than 1.5% and statistically comparable between the 2 cohorts with risk adjustment.

Incidence and Odds Ratio of Surgical and Medical Complications After Total Knee Arthroplasty in Vitamin D–Deficient and Vitamin D–Sufficient Patients
Regarding medical complications, 25D-deficient patients had a higher risk-adjusted incidence of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.36–2.38; P<.001), myocardial infarction (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.41–3.15; P<.001), and cerebrovascular accident (OR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.17–2.57; P=.006). Rates of pulmonary embolism and acute renal failure were statistically comparable between the 2 cohorts.
Vitamin D deficiency has received recent attention as a modifiable risk factor in arthroplasty for several reasons. First, epidemiologic data indicate that 50% to 80% of arthroplasty patients have insufficient or deficient 25D levels.4,6–8 Second, subnormal vitamin D balance has well-established mechanistic links to bone health and metabolism, as well as innate and adaptive immunity, all via the intracellular vitamin D receptor pathway.9,27 Finally, 25D repletion can be quickly achieved with a Food and Drug Administration–approved, cost-efficient oral supplementation prior to elective joint replacement on a population level.28 Although clinical data exist suggesting that 25D deficiency is a perioperative risk factor, these data are currently limited to small case series reporting on cohorts from single institutions. Using data over a 10-year period from the Humana administrative claims registry, the current study reports population-level data indicating that 25D deficiency is an independent risk factor for surgical and medical complications following TKA.
The rate of vitamin D deficiency (25D <20 ng/mL) in this nationwide sample of 6593 patients who underwent preoperative 25D testing was 13.2%. In the United States, Unnanuntana et al29 reported a 9.5% prevalence of 25D deficiency in their cohort of 200 patients, whereas Lavernia et al6 reported a 30% prevalence. Studies from England (24%),30 Finland (36%),31 Northern Greece (81%),8 and Germany (64%)24 have found highly variable rates of 25D deficiency in the arthroplasty population; unsurprisingly, the prevalence of 25D deficiency and insufficiency is likely endemic to certain demographics and geographic locations attributable to sun exposure, dietary supplementation, and genetic differences.9 The authors note that only 4.2% of the entire Humana TKA population had a preoperative 25D level recorded, suggesting that (1) routine 25D screening is currently uncommon in the United States and/or (2) the percentage of vitamin D–deficient patients in this population may not be representative of the US population as a whole. Taken together, the authors use these data to underscore the importance of vitamin D deficiency in populations where it is endemic, as perioperative identification and repletion in these patients may have the greatest impact on population-level complication rates and outcomes.
Predictably, 25D-deficient patients had a higher CCI than their 25D-sufficient counterparts. Multiple etiologies and intrinsic patient-specific associations and predispositions, including increased skin pigmentation, age, obesity, and malnutrition, are associated with 25D deficiency.9 The 25D-deficient patients in this study had a higher incidence of comorbid obesity (P=.010) and diabetes mellitus (P=.039). Lower 25D levels in obese patients is thought to reflect an increased volume of distribution of its fat-soluble precursor, and is of controversial clinical significance.32 Similarly, the relationship between diabetes and 25D deficiency is controversial, with some suggesting that obesity serves as a confounder and others suggesting that 25D repletion may improve glycemic control.33 The fact that 25D-deficient patients in this cohort were younger is surprising insofar as 25D deficiency is strongly correlated with age. The authors also found that 25D-deficient patients had a lower incidence of chronic kidney disease. However, it is likely that the lower incidence of deficient serum 25D values in chronic kidney disease is reflective of patients receiving chronic supplementation as part of routine screening and treatment.
This study found that 25D deficiency was an independent risk factor for surgical site infection requiring reoperation including irrigation and debridement (OR, 1.76) and explantation of the prosthesis (OR, 2.97) at 1 year. Several smaller clinical studies have previously correlated periprosthetic joint infections with 25D deficiency. Maier et al24 reported that 86% of patients undergoing revision surgery for periprosthetic joint infection after primary total hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty had 25D level of less than 20 ng/mL. Traven et al23 reported that low serum 25D level was associated with an increased risk of 90-day complications among patients undergoing revision TKA, including re-revision for periprosthetic infections. Yet the current study is the first to report an increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection among the primary TKA population.
In addition, 25D-deficient patients have a significantly higher incidence of postoperative stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia (OR, 1.69) within 1 year. Several studies have correlated 25D deficiency with poor preoperative and postoperative functional and pain outcomes, which at an extreme may lead to stiffness and pain requiring manipulation in an operative setting.5,6,18–21,29 Maniar et al21 found that vitamin D–deficient patients had lower preoperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores at baseline. After treatment with postoperative oral vitamin D supplementation, these patients were able to achieve functional outcome scores at 3 months comparable to those of vitamin D–sufficient patients. Conversely, Unnanuntana et al5,29 reported no difference in attainment of in-hospital functional milestones or short-term functional outcomes in 25D-deficient vs 25D-sufficient patients. Although they concluded that 25D deficiency should not delay arthroplasty, perioperative correction should be performed because of the known effects on bone quality.
The statistically higher incidences of deep venous thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident noted in this study have not been previously reported specifically in the arthroplasty literature. Deficiency of 25D was independently correlated with coronary artery disease in data from the Framingham Heart Study.34 The posited mechanism involves decreased ligand activation of vitamin D receptor–directed anti-inflammatory myocardium and vascular pericytes.33 There is also limited literature correlating vitamin D status with venous thromboembolism rates, which may potentially be related to levels of plasma inflammatory mediators (P-selectin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein).35
To the authors' knowledge, the current study is the first evaluating the prevalence of 25D deficiency among arthroplasty patients and the associated perioperative complication rates in a large cohort of patients across multiple institutions. However, such a study design has several limitations. First, the PearlDiver Humana database has limited granularity and, because of privacy concerns, provides aggregate rather than individual patient data. Because the database is searched by Current Procedural Terminology, International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, and Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes codes, the available data on baseline health characteristics and complications are less comprehensive than those available through conventional chart review. Although this is partially mitigated by multivariate logistic regression controlling for CCI, this database design remains susceptible to source data biases and errors from miscoding. Second, the study design defined 25D deficiency using a serum 25D level of less than 20 ng/mL, which includes vitamin D deficiency (25D <12 ng/mL) and insufficiency (25D <20 ng/mL) as defined by the Institute of Medicine.25 Although this establishes the relationship between low serum 25D and complications in TKA, it does not establish a stepwise relationship or cut-off for which vitamin D becomes critically important. A 3-tiered study design was attempted but provided insufficient sample sizes for multivariate logistic regression because of the limitations of the PearlDiver Humana database. Furthermore, although this was beyond the scope and intent of the study, the database provides no information on functional or patient-reported outcomes. Finally, the authors note that only 4.2% of the entire Humana TKA population had preoperative 25D recorded. Indeed, it is unlikely that this was a random sampling of patients undergoing TKA, but rather a selected group of patients who were screened because of a higher pretest probability of 25D deficiency and who may already be receiving oral supplementation. Although a sampling bias, this provides important insight into the role of preoperative vitamin D repletion; those patients who were preoperatively repleted to greater than 20 ng/mL would have been included in the 25D-sufficient group. Yet there was still a significant difference between the 25D-deficient and 25D-sufficient groups, indicating that unsuccessful supplementation resulting in 25D levels remaining less than 20 ng/mL may still predispose patients to a worse complication profile. The authors believe that this strengthens the potential argument for preoperative 25D repletion.
Among patients undergoing TKA in the United States with 25D serum sampling in the preoperative period, 13.2% are 25D deficient (25D <20 ng/mL). In addition, 25D deficiency is associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications, including surgical site infection requiring irrigation and debridement and explantation of prosthesis, stiffness requiring manipulation under anesthesia, deep venous thrombosis, and cardiocerebrovascular events. These findings support the role of serum 25D as an independent and modifiable perioperative risk factor in arthroplasty. However, although oral supplementation with 25D3 is theoretically simple, quick, and inexpensive, its efficacy in arthroplasty risk reduction has not yet been reported. Further prospective studies investigating whether a clinically significant risk reduction of these aforementioned complications can be achieved with 25D repletion are warranted.

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris, I added an overlay of the French flag to my Facebook profile photo. I read every article on the attacks in the Sunday newspaper, pausing now and then to whisper a quick prayer—"Lord, have mercy"—and all too easily imagining what it might have been like to be at a concert, dining with friends in a café, or watching a soccer match as horror dawned that those bangs and pops were bombs and guns. I went to church with a clear intention to pray for the people affected by Friday's attacks in the French capital.
I didn't do any of these things in response to a terror attack on students at a Kenyan university in April, which killed nearly 150 people, or attacks in Beirut the day before the Paris attacks that left 40 dead.
So I am the intended target of blog posts, tweets and status updates calling for more equitable distribution of our grief and outrage, criticizing Americans for so readily expressing our empathy and agony for Paris, while skimming over or ignoring outright similar tragedies in Africa and the Middle East.
While I've never been to Paris, I know many people who have, including a couple of high school friends who live there. That I've seen photos of people I know and love on Parisian streets, eating at Parisian cafés, and posing in front of Parisian landmarks makes Paris feel familiar to me in a way that Kenya or Beirut are not. I took French in high school and college. Many aspects of my life—my family history, the food I eat, my education, my dad's college teaching career, the music I listen to, my nation's history—is linked to Europe and European history. These connections mean that it's easy for me to identify with the attacks in Paris, easy to imagine that it could have been me or someone I care about in that concert hall or stadium.
Some of what underlies my sense of connection to the Paris attacks needs to be challenged, such as the extent to which I (and lots of other white Americans) define our country's heritage as white and European despite a large and growing population from Latin America, Africa, and Asia, or the Eurocentric nature of the literature and history I studied in school.
But that some aspects of my affinity for particular places, cultures, and people are rooted in my skewed experience doesn't negate that the affinity exists, and that the pull of affinity is particularly powerful in emotionally charged circumstances. Quite simply, I respond to a greater extent to difficult stories about people to whom I feel connected. I pay more attention to news stories about famine or war that center on mothers and children, because I'm a mother with children. After every mass shooting, I make a point of reading about the victims, but I can recall the names, faces, and stories of the first graders murdered on December 14, 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School to an extent that I cannot recall victims of other shootings, because my son was in first grade that year as well. In my nearly 16 years of being a mother, a handful of kids in our town have died from illness or accident. I always feel a stab of grief for their parents and siblings, left to figure out how one keeps going to work, buying groceries, and cheering at the other kids' soccer games after a child dies. But the death I remember most, the child whose house I occasionally drive by on purpose just to say a prayer for his parents and sister, is a two-year-old who drowned in his evening bath. He was two months older than my son, the towheaded child gazing out from the news photo so evocative of my own chubby-cheeked little one.
Empathy is not a zero-sum game; caring about one tragedy doesn't prevent me from caring about another. But neither is our capacity for empathetic engagement unlimited. We do not have the emotional or intellectual capacity to respond to every tragedy with equal measures of outrage or pain. We gravitate toward stories about people with whom we feel an affinity.
Of course, to the extent that our affinities are rooted in misinformation, ignorance, damaging historical legacies, and prejudice, we must challenge them. The disparity in reactions to the Paris attacks vs. other terrorist attacks raises vital questions about media bias; Americans' limited and skewed perceptions of particular places and peoples; and how Western interventions in the Middle East have influenced the development of terrorist groups.
Christians, furthermore, are called to stretch our limitations and affinities. Our capacity for empathy may be limited, but God's love is not. Jesus pressed his followers to care for outsiders and question our responsibilities to family or tribe if they become roadblocks to our answering God's call. The way of Jesus is one in which we begin to feel an affinity for all people, regardless of whether we have common experiences or cultures, because we see everyone as one of God's beloved.
Our human limitations and affinities are not excuses for complacency. The questions raised in recent days about differing responses to a series of terrorist attacks are important ones for us to ask—but perhaps not immediately, as we struggle to assimilate information that's still coming in, and perhaps not in tweets and status updates that end up sounding judgmental. The perspective required for introspection and change is difficult to come by when we're in the midst of shock and grief, and hard to communicate in 140 characters or less.
Social media posts accusing us of inequitable outrage exemplify two common patterns of online interaction. First, any prevalent narrative unfolding online (in this case, dismay, outrage, and empathy for Paris) is challenged, often fairly quickly, by a counter narrative. The "everyone thinks this but I actually think THAT" counter narrative is an almost sure bet for getting reactions and clicks…until, that is, the counter narrative becomes so prevalent that other people start arguing that the first narrative was really not so bad. (And yes, I'm doing exactly that—appealing to the virtue of the initial narrative over the counter narrative.) At its best, the narrative/counter narrative pattern inspires lively debate and provides a needed corrective to widely accepted interpretations that are biased, damaging, misleading, or just plain wrong. At its worst, this pattern promotes endless click bait that does little to move the conversation forward, as substance and good sense take a back seat to provocation and traffic spikes.
Second, declarations of what is and is not okay to say or do in a particular circumstance have become social media staples. Posts tell us what to do and say (and what not to do and say) when someone is sick, disabled, grieving, unemployed, pregnant, not pregnant but wanting to be pregnant, a new parent, childless, an adoptive parent, recently married, recently divorced, recently widowed….and so on. Such posts are usually well-intentioned, and can be useful. But as my friend Rachel noted in a blog post last year, these ubiquitous correctives to other people's behavior can convey a note (or a whole symphony) of pride, "that we, not they, know the right words; that we, not they, are righteous in our indignation, even if their intentions were innocuous." These correctives lack a measure of grace, a recognition that when we are reacting to a situation that is uncomfortable, difficult, unusual, tragic, or even especially joyful, our emotions take charge, and our emotions are unruly, inconsistent forces ill-suited to following a list of rules.
That's what most bothers me about the tweets and status updates urging us toward more equitable distribution of our empathy in response to last week's terror attacks—the tone of chastisement, the absence of grace extended toward people struggling, in the grip of strong emotions, with how to respond to the terrifying images and stories populating our screens.
Those arguing for outrage equity are right to press us to question our assumptions, examine our biases, and ultimately move closer to a world in which our grief for the victims of evil acts does not differ according to where or what sort of life they live. But for now, with the dead and wounded still being accounted for, with critically injured people and grieving relatives in the raw and agonized early days, with much about the perpetrators and how we should respond still unclear, we need to offer one another grace to voice our grief and anger, skewed as they may be by the limitations and affinities that render our responses imperfect, and unmistakably human.

He's coming…
Lil Yachty made a name for himself in 2016 with two well-received mixtapes and several high-profile features in the hip-hop world (Chance the Rapper) and the pop scene (Charli XCX), and 2017 might make him a household name.
The 19-year-old has dropped two brand new songs – "Peek A Boo" and "Harley – to tide fans over while he finishes up his debut album, "Teenage Emotions."
"Harley" stays true to his brand of 'bubblegum trap' as it plays out like a repetitive nursery rhyme over hip-hop beats, however "Peek A Boo" is sonically a little more aggressive than we've heard from Yachty before.
Even more of a surprise, the stunning cinematic visual for "Peek A Boo" – featuring Migos – was released earlier today. Directed by Millicent Hailes, Yachty was behind artistic direction and the concept, which is crazy when you watch it.
Check out "Peek A Boo" and "Harley" down below.

TV Ratings: Fox Premieres Win Big Four Summer Kickoff
NBC and Fox went head-to-head during the first night of broadcast's summer vacation, pitting alternative offerings against one another before NBC trotted out another edition of Red Nose Day.
Fox pulled an impressive win with strong premieres for both Beat Shazam and Love Connection. Beat Shazam, with host Jamie Foxx, was the night's top player in the key demo with a 1.2 rating among adults 18-49. It also averaged 3.6 million viewers before the Andy Cohen update on Love Connection earned a 1.1 rating in the demo and 3.4 million viewers.
It's promising news for Fox's summer freshmen, which managed to top the Big Four in both hours.
NBC placed a close No. 2, thanks to special editions of American Ninja Warrior (1.1 adults) and Running Wild With Bear Grylls (0.9 adults). As for the philanthropic special that followed, Red Nose Day 2017 averaging a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49 and 2.7 million viewers. That was enough to win the 10 o'clock hour because, well, it was the only broadcast original in the time slot.
Both NBC and Fox faced daunting competition from TNT coverage of the NBA Conference Finals game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.

Developers hope that this will give the game the last push it needs to reach its goal of $50,000. The co-op survival games lets players experience a little of what the game's mechanics will be like, like using bonfires for heat and cooking. The demo itself does not include multiplayer, but can be downloaded for your PC off their Kickstarter page here. Source

Anthogyr Campus: Objective excellence
The constant search for excellence is a part of a practitioner's core values. To assist them in their development, the Anthogyr Campus offers a wide range of courses throughout France.
Today it's more than 850 participants from 33 countries, and more than 50 french and international implantology instructors.
Keep reading for an overview of the department tailor-made for professionals and an interview with Anthogyr Campus Manager, Anne Bernard.
Tell us about the Anthogyr Campus.
Anne Bernard: The Anthogyr Campus offers a wide range of courses for all dental assistants and prosthetists, whether or not they are Anthogyr customers. The topics offered cover all
areas of expertise but focus on three objectives.
"The first, "Organise and Develop", offers management and strategic organisation tools to grow your surgery and to communicate effectively with patients. It also addresses the training of implantology dental assistants.The second objective, "Improve", is aimed at improving practitioners' knowledge of and practices in specific subjects (e.g., first sinus lifts, managing soft tissue). Finally, "Confirm" is directed at implantologists seeking to learn about more advanced surgeries like all-on-6 or all-on-4, immediate placement, and anatomy. All courses are led by a team of specialists eager to share their knowledge.
Does the programme include professional aspects?
The objective is for each participant to be able to implement the techniques they have learnt as soon as they finish the training course. And it works! At the end of our training courses, participants tell us that they
have made changes to their processes and revitalised their surgeries.
How are the courses organised in France?
Anne Bernard: Each year, we publish our programme of courses. The 2019 edition will be available in November, with one new feature: a training course for prosthetists. Practitioners who wish to attend one or more modules can enrol via our website or through our sales representatives. To offer more flexibility to practitioners, half of our courses are held across France in offices of partner implantologists, and the other half are held in Sallanches. The company is fortunate to have the Anthogyr Campus, with 250 m2 of state-of-the-art infrastructure, at its headquarters. A key aspect of my duties, which I share with my whole department, is to devote attention to each and every dentist. More than just training courses, we strive to provide dentists with a comprehensive premium service, from orientation to lodging.
What can international practitioners expect?
Anne Bernard: For practitioners from around the world who are just starting to work with Anthogyr, we have designed a seminar held in Sallanches.
The growth is such that, this year, we are conducting three seminars in English and about fifteen in the languages of our subsidiaries. Each one starts with a one-day introduction to the company and includes a visit to the production site, followed by hands-on work using our products. The course continues with a clinic day under the guidance of an implantologist.
