Sister Elizabeth Kenny (20 September 1880 – 30 November 1952) was a self-trained Australian bush nurse who developed a new approach for treating victims of poliomyelitis, which was controversial at the time. Her method, which she promoted internationally while working in Australia, Europe and the United States, differed from the then conventional medical practice which called for placing affected limbs in plaster casts. Instead Kenny applied hot compresses to affected parts of patients' bodies followed by passive movement of those areas to reduce what she called "Spasm".[1] Kenny's principles of muscle rehabilitation became the foundation of physical therapy, or physiotherapy.[2]
Her life story was told in the 1946 film Sister Kenny, portrayed by Rosalind Russell, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance.
Early life[edit]
Elizabeth Kenny was born in Warialda, New South Wales, in 1880,[3] the daughter of Australian-born Mary Kenny, née Moore, and Michael Kenny, a farmer from Ireland.[4][5] She was called "Lisa" by her family and was home-schooled by her mother before attending schools in Guyra, New South Wales, and Nobby, Queensland. At age 17, she broke her wrist in a fall from a horse. Her father took her to Aeneas McDonnell, a medical doctor in Toowoomba, where she remained during her convalescence. While there, Kenny studied McDonnell's anatomy books and model skeleton. This began a lifelong association with McDonnell, who became her mentor and advisor. Kenny later asserted that she became interested in how muscles worked while convalescing from her accident.[6] Instead of using a model skeleton, since they were available for medical students only, she made her own. Following her time with Dr. McDonnell, Lisa was certified by The Secretary of Public Instruction as a teacher of Religious Instruction and taught Sunday School in Rockfield. Having become a self-taught and good pianist she listed herself as "Teacher of Music" and taught music a few hours a week.[7] In 1907, Kenny returned to Guyra, New South Wales, first living with her grandmother and then with her cousin Minnie Bell. She soon became a successful broker of agricultural sales between Guyra farmers and northern markets in Brisbane. Following that she worked in the kitchen in "Scotia", local midwife's cottage hospital and local Dr. Harris gave her a letter of recommendation. With part of her savings from her brokerage work she paid a local seamstress to make her a nurse's uniform. With that, and the observations she had at Scotia and from her time with Dr. Harris she returned to Nobby to offer her services as a Bush Nurse. At that time she was known as Nurse Kenny; she earned the title "Sister" while nursing on cargo ships which carried soldiers to and from Australia and England during WW I.[8] In Britain and Commonwealth countries, "Sister" as a title of courtesy applies not only to members of a religious order but also to a more highly qualified nurse, one grade below "Matron".[9]
After her 1909 return to Nobby she worked as a bush nurse reaching her patients on foot and often by horseback. Soon she opened a Cottage Hospital at Clifton which she named St. Canices, where she provided convalescent and midwifery services. In 1911 she treated what Dr. McDonnell thought was infantile paralysis, under the supervision of Dr. Horn, the local Lodge Doctor.[10] The story was romanticized in the 1946 film Sister Kenny, featuring Rosalind Russell. In her autobiography Kenny wrote that she sought Dr. McDonnell's opinion. He wired back, "...treat them according to the symptoms as they present themselves". Sensing that their muscles were tight, she did what mothers around the world did: applied hot compresses made from woollen blankets to their legs. Kenny wrote that a little girl woke up very much relieved and said, "Please, I want them rags that well my legs". Several children recovered with no serious after effects.[10] There were several published versions of this story, one in Victor Cohn's 1975 biography, one in Ostenso's and one in Kenny's hand-written autobiography. The most dependable one, however, is most likely in a letter to Victor Cohn from Toowoomba journalist T. Thompson.[11] Many years passed before Kenny treated anyone else who might have had polio.
World War I[edit]
In 1915, Kenny volunteered to serve as a nurse in the First World War and went to Europe.[3] She was not officially a qualified nurse. Nevertheless, nurses were badly needed so she was assigned to work on "Dark Ships", slow moving transports that ran with all lights off between Australia and England. They carried war goods and soldiers one way and wounded soldiers and trade goods on the return voyage. Kenny served on these dangerous missions throughout the war, making sixteen round trips (plus one around the world via the Panama Canal). In 1917 she earned the title "Sister", which in the Australian Army Nursing Corps is the equivalent of a First Lieutenant. Kenny used that title for the rest of her life. She was criticized by some for doing so, but Kenny was officially promoted to that rank during her wartime service. During the final months of the war, she served for a few weeks as Matron in a soldiers' hospital near Brisbane. She was unwell and worn down from her wartime duty, was honorably discharged and qualified for a pension.[12]
Press reports from Australia during the 1930s quote Kenny as saying she developed her method while caring for meningitis patients on troopships during World War I.[13][14]
In April 1925, Kenny was elected as the first president of the Nobby branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association .[15]
Return to Queensland[edit]
Although exhausted by her war service, Kenny set up and supervised a temporary hospital in Nobby to care for victims of the 1918 flu pandemic. When the epidemic subsided, Kenny traveled to Guyra to recuperate. Still exhausted and sick, she decided to go to Europe where doctors did help. Then she returned to Nobby, but within days she was summoned to Guyra by a girlhood friend to care for her daughter Daphne. The girl was disabled with what was known then as cerebral diplegia. Kenny treated her on the Cregan's Station west of Guyra for three years and continued her association with her for many years. Her treatment of Daphne, plus nursing of sick and wounded men during World War I provided Kenny the experience for her later work rehabilitating polio victims.[16]
Instead of settling down at home as a spinster caring for her mother, Kenny continued to work as a nurse from their home. Her neighbor Stan Kuhn took her to her patients in his motorcycle sidecar or automobile. When his younger sister Sylvia fell into the path of his horse-drawn plow, he carried her home and called Kenny. She quickly improvised a stretcher from a cupboard door for badly injured Sylvia, carefully secured her to it and rode with her in the local ambulance 26 miles to Dr McDonnell's office. He helped Sylvia recover, and credited Kenny for her stretcher and her careful care. She improved the stretcher for use by local ambulance services and, for the next three years, marketed it as the "Sylvia Stretcher" in Australia, Europe and the United States. She turned the profits over to the Country Women's Association, which administered its sales and manufacturing. At that time Kenny, because she would be traveling selling the Stretcher, adopted eight year old Mary Stewart to be a companion for Mother Kenny. Mary later became one of Sister Kenny's best "technicians".[17]
Polio treatment[edit]
When sales of the Sylvia Stretcher declined, Kenny returned to Nobby to again work as a nurse. During one of her sales journeys she met the Rollinson family who owned a Station west of Townsville. In 1931, during a trip to visit her brother Will, Kenny telephoned them. They promptly asked her to care for their niece Maude, who was disabled by polio. After 18 months under Kenny's care Maude was able to walk, return to Townsville, marry and conceive a child. The newspapers in Townsville took up the story, referring to it as a cure. In 1932, Queensland suffered its highest number of polio cases in 30 years; the following year, several local people helped Kenny set up a rudimentary polio-treatment facility under canopies behind the Queens Hotel in Townsville. In a few months (after further success with local children), she moved into the bottom floor of the hotel. The first official evaluation of Sister Kenny's work took place in Townsville in 1934, under the auspices of the Queensland Health Department. Her success working with polio victims led to the establishment of Kenny clinics in several cities in Australia. The Sister Kenny Clinic in the Outpatients Building of the Rockhampton Base Hospital is now listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.[18]
During these years, Kenny developed her clinical method and gained recognition in Australia. She was adamantly opposed to immobilising children's bodies with plaster casts or braces. At this time, Kenny requested that she be permitted to treat children during the acute stage of the disease with hot compresses (as she claimed to have done in Clifton before the war). However, doctors would not allow her to treat patients until after the acute stage of the disease, or until "tightness" (Kenny used the word "spasm" much later) subsided. She instituted a carefully designed regimen of passive "exercises" designed to recall function in unaffected neural pathways (much as she had done with Maude). On her own, she began treatment of a patient in the acute stage in her George Street Clinic in Brisbane, afterwards transferring her to the Ward 7 Polio Clinic in Brisbane General Hospital. That child (and others) recovered with fewer aftereffects than those placed in braces. In 1937, she published an introductory book about her work and began another, The Treatment of Infantile Paralysis in The Acute Stage, known as The Green Book which was later published in the United States.[19] The most comprehensive appraisal of her methods, "The Kenny Concept of Infantile Paralyses And Its Treatment," was published in collaboration with Dr. John Pohl in 1943, and was known as "The Red Book.".[20]
Between 1935 and 1940, Kenny travelled extensively throughout Australia, helping to set up clinics. She also made two trips to England, where she set up a treatment clinic in St. Mary's Hospital near Carshalton[21][10] Kenny's success was controversial; many Australian doctors and the British Medical Association (BMA) questioned her results and methodology.[28][29][30] Raphael Cilento, who was in charge of the QHD evaluation, wrote a report that was somewhat complimentary but mainly critical.[31] Kenny replied publicly, fiercely taking Cilento to task for his criticisms, unheard of then from a self-taught Australian Bush Nurse. This response caused a contentious relationship among Kenny, Cilento, the BMA and the Australian Medical Association (AMA). Between 1936 and 1938, a Queensland Government Royal Commission evaluated Kenny's work and published its Report of The Queensland Royal Commission on Modern Methods for the Treatment of Infantile Paralysis in 1938. Its most critical comment, because Kenny opposed using splints and plaster casts was: "The abandonment of immobilization is a grievous error and fraught with grave danger, especially in very young patients who cannot co-operate in re-education." They stated that her clinic (then in Brisbane) was "admirable". The Commissioners' strongest objections were against the Queensland government, which was funding Kenny's work, because her clinics were not supervised by BMA. The Queensland Government rejected the report, continuing to support Kenny's work.[22][23][24]
In 2009 as part of the Q150 celebrations, the Kenny regimen for polio treatment was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as an iconic "innovation and invention".[25]
In the U.S.[edit]
In 1940, the New South Wales government sent Kenny (and her adopted daughter Mary, who had become an expert in Kenny's method) to America to present her clinical method for treating polio victims to American doctors. After a sea journey from Sydney to Los Angeles and by railway to San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, back to Chicago and to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, she was given a chance to demonstrate her work in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Doctors Miland Knapp and John Pohl (who headed polio treatment centres there) were impressed, and told her that she should stay. They found an apartment for Kenny and Mary; several years later, the city of Minneapolis gave them a house. The city was Kenny's base in America for 11 years. In a 1943 letter to the British Medical Journal, Kenny noted that "there have been upwards of 300 doctors attending the classes at the University of Minnesota".[26]
During this time several Kenny treatment centers were opened throughout America; the best-known were the Sister Kenny Institute in Minneapolis (opened 17 December 1942;[27] now Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute), a facility in the New Jersey Medical Center and her favorite, the Ruth Home in El Monte, California. She received honorary degrees from Rutgers University and the University of Rochester. She joined U.S. President Roosevelt (whose paralytic illness was believed to be polio) for lunch, discussing his treatment at Warm Springs. In 1951, Kenny topped Gallup's most admired man and woman poll as the only woman in the first 10 years of the annual list to displace Eleanor Roosevelt for the #1 spot.[28] The Sister Kenny Foundation was established in Minneapolis to support her and her work throughout the United States.[29][10]
Some doctors changed their initial professional skepticism when they saw the effects Kenny's method had on her patients (both children and adults). Many American magazines covered her work. In 1975 Victor Cohn wrote the first detailed biography of her life and work. During her first year in Minneapolis, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (NFIP) paid her personal expenses and financed trials of her work. That support ceased, however, after a series of disagreements with the NFIP Director. Kenny was a determined and outspoken woman, which harmed her relationship with the medical profession. Nevertheless, her method continued to be used and helped hundreds of people suffering from polio.
In recognition of her work, in February 1950 President Harry Truman signed a Congressional bill giving Kenny the right to enter and leave the US as she wished without a visa. This honour had only been granted once before, to French marquis Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, who was a leader in the American War of Independence.[30]
Final years and death[edit]
Kenny filled her final years with extensive journeys in America, to Europe and Australia in an effort to gain further acceptance of her method. She tried, unsuccessfully, to have medical researchers agree with her that Polio was a systemic disease. She attended the second International Congress about polio in Copenhagen. There she was shunned and unable to participate. Suffering from Parkinson's disease, on her way home she stopped in Melbourne to meet privately with internationally respected virologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet. He wrote about the visit in his autobiography.
She had treated more cases than anyone else in the world – she gave the precise number, 7,828 – and no one else was in the position to speak with her authority. She is now almost forgotten by the world. But there was an air of greatness about her and I shall never forget that meeting.[31]
In a desperate attempt to save her life, Dr Irving Innerfield of New York sent his new experimental drug, Trypsin by air mail to Brisbane. It was then rushed by car to Toowoomba.[32] Although the drug was administered on 29 November 1952, her doctor believed Kenny was too close to death to benefit from it, and she died the following day.[33]
Kenny's funeral was held on 1 December 1952 at the Neil Street Methodist Church in Toowoomba, and was recorded for transmission in other parts of Australia and in the United States of America. The funeral cortege from the church to Nobby Cemetery was one of the largest seen in Toowoomba. Kenny was buried beside her mother in Nobby Cemetery.[34]
Between 1934 and her death in 1952, Kenny and her associates cared for thousands of patients,[10] including polio victims throughout the world. Their testimony to Sister Kenny's help is part of her legacy, as is The Kenny Concept of Infantile Paralysis, and Its Treatment (known as the "Red Book" and written by Dr. John Pohl in collaboration with Kenny).
The Sister Kenny Memorial House was opened in Nobby on 5 October 1997 by Prof John Pearn.[35] The memorial house contains many artefacts from Kenny's life, a collection of documents from her private correspondence, papers and newspaper clippings. In Toowoomba, the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Memorial Fund provides scholarships to students attending the University of Southern Queensland who will dedicate themselves to work in rural and remote areas of Australia. In Townsville, her life was commemorated in 1949 by the unveiling of the Sister Kenny Memorial and Children's Playground.[36]
Sister Kenny is referenced in the TV movie An American Christmas Carol, in which the Tiny Tim character, Jonathan, would be sent for treatment for his disability (never referred to specifically, however, as polio). Her treatments are also suggested to be the basis for Livy Walton's recovery in The Waltons' first-season episode "An Easter Story". Livy's will to walk again after polio leads her to take the chance that Kenny's methods might work.
Cartoonist and amputee Al Capp was involved with the Sister Kenny Foundation during the 1940s and 1950s. As honorary chairman, Capp made public appearances on its behalf, contributed artwork for its annual fundraising appeals and entertained disabled children in hospitals with pep talks, humorous stories, and sketches.
Alan Alda credits the Sister Kenny treatments he received from his mother as a young boy for his complete recovery from polio, stating in his autobiography Never Have Your Dog Stuffed that he has no question about their efficacy. In an interview with the Actors Studio, the actor Martin Sheen recounted that he contracted polio as a child and it was only due to his doctor using Sister Kenny's method that he regained use of his legs.[37]

Last night on the EYE of the SEER show, Bishop Bryan D. Ouellette, Ph.D., SOSM made an important announcement about his ministry held within the Holy Nicholean Catholic Church. On the second half he discussed with Deacon Thomas Moreland the ways through which Esoteric Mysticism connects all religions to a common spirituality. But can this "common spirituality" reconcile theological conflicts between conventional Christian theology and those of non-Christian religions?
Bishop Ouellette, in his unceasing effort to bring all people to a
mutual respect and spiritual commonality, is often accused of serving
"two masters" by his peers and critics. In Matthew 6:24 Jesus states,
"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love
the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other." Is the
Esoteric Mysticism program a violation of what Jesus taught?
Bishop Ouellette attempts to set the record clear, once and for
all, dispelling as much confusion as is possible while answering the
age-old question: Can We [like the popular bumper-sticker] Co-Exist or
are we just too spiritually incompatible to do so?

Chamber launches Waterfall Way Policy
Following a community meeting in November 2018, the Dorrigo Chamber of Commerce has now finalised a policy for Waterfall Way. This policy has been developed by members of the Chamber over the past three years.
The Chamber acknowledges numerous community members have contributed – for decades – by way of discussions, meetings, and correspondence to various government authorities. Unfortunately, much of the momentum of ideas and concepts are lost or forgotten as people change positions and government priorities and funding options change.
Now having this one-stop-shop approach will help ensure that Dorrigo's voice is not lost as to what we want.
The Chamber will continue to review, consult and, when necessary, revise the policy to ensure it continues to meet local and broader needs.

Mr. Peñaranda, flanked by Ms. Marvie Misolas of Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns (Left) and Ms. Elsa Muttathu of International Presentation Association (Right), discusses programs undertaken by the government to preserve Philippine indigenous languages at the sidelines of the 18th Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
23 April 2019, New York – The Philippine Mission to the United Nations reported that Mr. Ariel Peñaranda, Minister at the Mission, addressed representatives of UN Member States and civil society organizations, including indigenous peoples organizations at the event entitled "Language as the lifeline of indigenous identity and transmission of culture." It was held at the sidelines of the 18th session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
Minister Peñaranda outlined PH's policies, programs and activities including the implementation of the Philippine Indigenous Ethnographies Project. He noted that the output of the multi-year project is centered on the production of ethnographies of indigenous peoples themselves.
"Through this project, indigenous peoples will be empowered to create their ethnographies, and utilize the same in the formulation of their own plans for the preservation and development of their culture, heritage and indigenous language" Minister Peñaranda said in his statement. Ethnography is the study and systematic recording of human cultures.

The Cleveland Orchestra Franz Welser-Möst, conductor Alexandre Tharaud, piano
This concert, which opens the Orchestra's 101st season, begins with a brand-new piece by one of the Orchestra's own musicians, assistant principal oboe Jeffrey Rathbun. At the far end of the evening are the passionate and heartfelt strains of Tchaikovsky's first great ballet score, Swan Lake. In between is an intriguingly inventive piano concerto by Danish star composer Hans Abrahamsen, written for just one hand, the left, alone.

Watch Uncharted's Nathan Drake Shout His Favorite Word Over and Over: "No!"
Check out this supercut of Drake's many versions of screaming, "No!"
Watch a clip with a tense moment from an Uncharted game, and there's a good chance you'll hear series protagonist Nathan Drake say the word "no" a couple of times. You might not think anything of it out of context, but the video above highlights just how fond Drake is of the word.
Put together by Miguel Concepcion (who says on Twitter it took about 30 hours to record the necessary video footage), the "no" supercut features numerous instances of Drake (or, rather, voice actor Nolan North) shouting the word in about every conceivable way. You've got the "No, I'm falling out of a plane," the "No, I'm about to be driven off a cliff," and even the rare "No, no, that's like a thousand spiders that want to eat my face." When you consider the situations Drake finds himself in, "no" is a pretty understandable sentiment.
Naughty Dog is currently at work on the next game in the Uncharted series, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, for PlayStation 4. A movie based on Uncharted is set to begin filming next year. It will be directed by Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon, but we don't yet know who will get to do the honors of screaming "no" as Drake.

Staunch Creatine Five
Calum Von Moger's
Staunch Creatine Five
- Boost Explosive Strength and Power
- Rapidly Restore Phosphocreatine Levels
- Support Muscle Growth and Size
Staunch Creatine Five is the blend of creatine that you've always wanted, but never quite known it. Why, you ask? Well, because creatine is such an exceptionally helpful tripeptide, and also because each 6 gram scoop of Staunch Creatine Five provides you with 2,000mg of Magnesium Creatine Chelate, which is a highly bioavailable mineral creatine complex. This specialised complex ensures that the important mineral magnesium is delivered to you, which so many of us are deficient in.
In fact, approximately 50% of men and 39% of women consume less than the RDI for magnesium each day, which is the minimum amount of this mineral required to prevent deficiency diseases1. Magnesium helps muscles to relax, preventing muscular twitches, spasms and cramps, and aids in blood flow to muscle mass for enhanced recovery.
Furthermore, Staunch Creatine Five contains malic acid, in the form of ti-creatine malate and pure malic acid. Malic acid is a constituent of the citric acid cycle, and therefore supports NADH and FADH2 generation, important constituents for the synthesis of ATP, the universal energy source.
Creatine is a tripeptide, which means that it is composed of three amino acids linked together. These are methionine, arginine and glycine. It is stored in muscle tissue as phosphocreatiine, where it donates phosphorus for the rebuilding of ADP back up to ATP. This is the primary energy pathway for explosive exercises, like sprinting and lifting, and is said to benefit movements of exercises that last up to three minutes2. Creatine has also been identified as being helpful for supporting recovery between sets, and even boosting intelligence and working memory 3,4. Can't argue with that!
Staunch Creatine Five contains five unique forms of creatine and is the perfect addition to any serious explosive trainer or bodybuilder's supplementation program.

Sure he's a tyrant and a murderer…but maybe he could have been something else if he was nurtured and loved more from an early age. The dictator of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi designed this pretty cool car back in 2009.
Named the Saroukh el-Jamahiriya (Libyan Rocket), the car seats five, has a 230-hp V6. It's been said that the reason he decided to get into auto design was because of the high number of traffic accidents. He wanted to create a more safe ride for his people.
I don't know about you, but I kind of like the look of the car. It's a bit different, and somewhat funny looking, but not all that terrible. I could see myself rolling down the street, windows down, blasting Rebecca Black's Friday on the sweet sound system.

Sterling Haidt a Los Altos resident is the artist of the current exhibit 'Abstraction & Connection' at the Los Altos Hills City Hall. During opening hours you can discover Sterling's unique view and his techniques used in capturing images. His goal is to evoke a feeling from the imagery and the materials used.
I liked his piece called Swirl, a "macrophotograph of transmitted light through marbleized glass", which has interesting colors and invoked in me a feeling of playful chaos. In Haidt's words: "My art is about connection, not cognition." As a retired eye surgeon turned digital artist, his artwork often include medical images, fonts, or mathematical patterns.
Most of the images are near the common area. This felt odd to me for the smell of food didn't align with the artwork of flowers. The view on the other hand, a window looking out on some redwoods, re-connects the visitor with nature.
On November 30th, 2018, from 10 am – 12 pm, you can glimpse behind the scene into Sterling Haidt's inspiration. This event is free and open to the public.
If you are interested in digital modern art, you should consider this event.

Ford Focus goes into production later this year. It is scheduled to go on sale in both Europe and North America in early 2011.
Ford has introduced the next-generation Focus 5-door hatch and Focus wagon at the Geneva auto show today.
The Focus is an important product for Ford and the Detroit-automaker has done a lot to make this next-generation Focus a truly global car, aiming to be a big seller in markets on all continents. The new Focus, in fact, was first introduced at the Detroit show in January of this year.
The new bodystyles introduced here, are also core products for Ford of Europe, as the Focus wagon accounts for about one-third of all Focus sales in Europe while the 5-door hatch also sells well in this extremely competitive segment. The C-segment in Europe accounts for about 5 million units a year, or one-third of the European market for automobiles.
The new Focus is based on Ford's global C-segment platform, which also features the C-Max and the Grand C-Max models. Ford plans on deriving ten different models from the platform by 2012. The Focus will come in 6 bodystyle iterations in Europe by 2012 as well, including a four-door sedan, and a five-seat and seven-seat MAV variants (the C-Max replacements).
The next-generation Focus will likely come with similar engine options as are currently available in the range, such as the 2.0 liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder gasoline/petrol engine. Although, some powerplants may feature improved fuel economy.
Production on the next-generation Focus starts later this year, with the model going on sale in both Europe and North America early in 2011.

Recruitment businesses remain attractive to investors, but UK deal numbers are lower in 2019 following economic uncertainty, according to the latest report from national accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP.
The key findings from the report were;
- The global recruitment market grew at an impressive compound annual rate of 7.4% over the five years through 2020 to £13.9bn.
- In 2019 the market grew by 5.5%; a gradual deceleration over the last couple of years, but against a growth forecast of 2.8% for the year.
- The number of global M&A deals has increased by 17% with US deals rising from 17 in 2018 to 41 in 2019, overtaking the UK to rank No. 1 for M&A activity.
- The number of UK transactions declined from 2018's six-year high of 32 to 25 in 2019.
- Overseas investors account for 16% of UK deals last year compared to 25% in the previous 12 months
The report revealed that technology-related deals accounted for 23% of all transactions.
The report also highlighted the market dynamics, which have led to a slight slowdown in sector deal activity in the UK. Unemployment rates reached a 44-year low in March 2019 but began to rise again against the UK's political and economic backdrop of a prolonged period of uncertainty in 2019, with moving Brexit deadlines.
In 2020, the UK industry revenue is expected to grow marginally at 4.4% and at a compound rate of 1.1% in the next five years with the main growth drivers including people seeking to switch roles to advance their careers and an increase in demand from the public sector.
"The recruitment sector has remained resilient and attractive to investors despite economic uncertainty. There's a real appetite for recruitment businesses innovating with technology or providing specialist expertise and serving a niche part of the market. Considering the fact that globally the number of deals in the sector rose in 2019, I expect that a return to more certainty in 2020 should spark more UK deal activity. We'd also expect to see a renewed interest in the sector from private equity investors with high volumes of dry powder looking for quality assets."
(James Fieldhouse M&A Managing Director at BDO LLP)

New TED Support forum launched!!
My home has this circuit breaker panel:http://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-Homeline-200-Amp-40-Space-40-Circuit-Outdoor-Surface-Mount-Main-Breaker-Combination-Service-Entrance-Device-SC40M200S/100127276It says it has "straight-In mains". When I open the panel and look at what connects to the main circuit breaker I see two metal bars. That differs from the diagram in the installation manual and youtube videos and pictures I've seen of what the incoming phase A and B power lines are suppose to look like (two fat, thickly insulated cables). Are those two metal bars what I should be attached the CTs to?
Also a second issue I have is connecting the black wire of the MTU to a circuit breaker. I don't have any spare circuit breakers. Do I need to install a new circuit breaker and attach the wire to it? Or can I just piggyback off a circuit breaker already being used?
Thanks for that info. Very helpful.I updated the pictures in the original post. You can see the metal bars that I need to get around. I confirmed that I am NOT able to attach the 200A CTs that came with my TED Pro around them--the bars are too wide. But I think these CTs should be able to get around (and behind) the bars (which are about 20-21mm in diameter):https://www.theenergydetective.com/400amplarge.htmlSo if I wanted to go forward with this I would I just need to buy two of these large 400A CTs and assuming they fit I am good to go?
Also you said I would need to turn off the power to those metal bars. Is that step for safety reasons because the bars are exposed and not insulated? If one were extremely cautious could the CTs be installed around the bars without shutting off power to the powerline bars?
But before around those posts, they are live. Be sure to turn them off before you get near them.
Call the power co. and tell them you want the meter pulled for 5 minutes tops. They will be more than willing to help you. You don't want to see what a 200 amp short looks like, not to mention you'll be DEAD .... They won't want to deal with the aftermath either ...
Around here we cut the seal, pull the meter ourselves and then call the power company to reseal it.

Accusative Case Master Class
What are grammatical cases?
In order to understand how to use the accusative case and why you need to use it, you first need to understand what cases even are. While Wikipedia will tell you some complicated definition, the basic idea is that cases identify the way in which a noun or pronoun is used. It generally does this through the use of articles such as "der", "die" and "das" or adjective endings (more on that later in this lesson).

In German the grammatical cases and the articles which represent them allow you to move around nouns in sentences without affecting the meaning. In the examples below, you can see that we use different words in different cases in the German sentences, each of which can be used at the beginning of the sentence, but the English translation never changes. This is possible in German, because of the case system. In English, however, the article "the" doesn't allow this flexibility. Word order dictates meaning in English, whereas in German the case system helps express how a word is being used.
Der Mann gibt dem Jungen einen Lutscher.
The man gives the boy a sucker.
Dem Jungen gibt der Mann einen Lutscher.
The man gives the boy a sucker.
Einen Lutscher gibt der Mann dem Jungen.
The man gives the boy a sucker.
Accusative Case with Direct Objects
Now that we know what cases are, we can get into the accusative stuff. The accusative case is primarily used with direct objects. A direct object is the person or thing that is acted upon in a sentence. The subject of the sentence is the one acting or doing something in the sentence. Those word(s) are in the nominative case, which is basically the default case. The direct object is being acted upon by the subject. They are being "verbed". This makes them accusative. This is represented in the sentences below by the accusative masculine article "den" and the accusative personal pronoun "dich". Both of those will be explained in more detail later in this lesson.
Ich werfe den Ball.
I am throwing the ball.
"den Ball" is the direct object. It is being "thrown".
Er mag dich.
He likes you.
"dich" is the direct object, as it is being "liked".
Cases vs Word Order
In the examples below we have two new subjects in the nominative case "der Mann" and "das Mädchen". The direct objects are "den Traktor" and "das Buch". In the first example "den Traktor" indicates the accusative case, as "den" is the accusative version of "der". Those are both masculine articles. "das Buch" on the other hand, doesn't indicate the accusative case with the article, so we have to rely on the word order to tell us the use, like we would in English.
Der Mann kauft den Traktor.
The man is buying the tractor.
Das Mädchen liest das Buch. –
The girl is reading the book.
Accusative Case Definite Articles
Below you will see your first grammar chart. This one shows you the definite articles, which are translated as "the" in English. The only change from nominative to accusative is in the masculine form, which changes from "der" to "den".
|Nominative Case
|Accusative Case
There are several words that take the same endings as the definite articles. They are "dieser" (this, these, those), "jeder" (every), "manche" (some), "solche" (such, that kind of), welcher" (which), and "alle" (all). As you can see in the chart below the last letters match.
|Nominative Case
|Accusative Case
Definite Articles Examples
The examples below show these words in action in the nominative and accusative cases.
Der Mann hat den Ball.
The man has the ball.
Diese Frau weiß jede Antwort. –
This woman knows every answer.
Das Mädchen sagt das Wort.
The girl says the word.
Diese Kinder finden alle Hinweise. –
These children find all clues.
Relative and Demonstrative Pronouns
The definite articles also double as relative and demonstrative pronouns. The main difference between relative pronouns and demonstrative pronouns is that demonstrative pronouns are generally not used in the same sentence in which the noun to which they refer is used. Relative pronouns are used within a relative clause, which is attached to a main clause that includes the noun to which the relative pronoun refers. This is illustrated in the sentences below. There are no examples below for demonstrative pronouns, but if you move the relative clause into a sentence of its own, you now have a demonstrative pronoun.
Ich sehe den Film, den dieser Man sieht.
I see the film, that this man sees.
Ich weiß die Antwort, die diese Frau weiß.
I know the answer, that this woman knows.

Accusative Case Indefinite Articles
Indefinite articles are words for "a" or "an". They identify non-specific things. The chart below shows you the difference between nominative and accusative. Again, the only change is for the masculine form, which changes from "ein" to "einen". The plural doesn't have an indefinite article, as it wouldn't make sense to say "a books", but there are several words that take the same endings as the indefinite articles (listed in a bit). This is the reason for the (k) in the plural form. This indicates that it could be any of the words on the list of indefinite article-like things.
|Nominative Case
|Accusative Case
The same endings are applied to the following words as well: mein (my), dein (your), sein (his/its), ihr (her/their or you when capitalized), unser (our), euer (your), and kein (no – used to negate nouns). Below is an example chart using "mein.
|Nominative Case
|Accusative Case
Indefinite Articles Examples
Below you will find example sentences with real indefinite articles and the indefinite article-like things (mostly possessive words). Notice again that the only one that changes from nominative to accusative is the masculine form, which changes from no ending to -en.
Sein Vater fragt einen Kellner.
His father asks a waiter.
Eine Lehrerin unterrichtet eine Klasse.
A teacher teaches a class.
Unser Kind kennt ein sprechendes Pferd.
Our child knows a talking horse.
Meine Kinder bringen ihre Spielzeuge.
My children bring their toys.
German Adjective Endings in the Accusative Case
Adjective endings in German change a bit based on what precedes the adjective and the case and gender in which the noun is used. If there is a definite article or definite article-like word the nominative singular forms take an -e as well as the accusative forms for feminine and neuter nouns. All of the plural forms and the accusative masculine forms require -en on the adjective.
|Nominative Case
|Accusative Case
Adjectives After Indefinite Articles
If the adjective is preceded by an indefinite article or indefinite article-like word, there are a few differences. Mainly, the gender identifying letter at the end of the article is transferred from the article onto the adjective. This means that the masculine and neuter forms in the nominative case now have an -r and -s respectively. In the accusative case, the masculine adjective and article still have -en, but the neuter form retains the -s it had in the nominative case. The rest of the endings are the same as they were with definite articles. After the chart there are some example sentences with adjectives and their endings.
|Nominative Case
|Accusative Case
Adjective Endings Examples
Dieser neugierige Mann sieht jeden neuen Film.
This curious man sees every new film.
Eure schöne Mutter stellt eine gute Frage.
Your beautiful mother asks a good question.
Dieses coole Mädchen lässt dieses alte Buch zu Hause.
This cool girl leaves this old book at home.
Ihre kleinen Kinder spielen meine neuen Brettspiele.
Their small children play my new board games.
Click here for an in-depth look at adjectives when used in the accusative case.
Weak German Nouns
Certain nouns in German require either -n or -en at the end of them in any case other than the nominative case. There are a ton of words that do this. They are called "weak nouns". Below are a few examples of these nouns in action.
Ich mag seinen Namen.
I like his name.
Der Elefant trifft den Löwen.
The elephant meets the lion.
There are some ways to figure out if a noun is a weak noun. The vast majority of weak nouns are masculine nouns that end with -e. There are a lot of weak nouns with Latin or Greek endings. This would include: -ent (Assistent), -ant (Emigrant), -ist (Kapitalist), -at (Diplomat), -aut (Astronaut), -ad (Komerad). The most vague and also least reliable category are single syllable masculine nouns. There are quite a few weak nouns that fall into this category, but a lot of single syllable masculine nouns are not weak nouns, which makes it difficult to tell. The more you memorize these the better your ear for this will be trained and you will eventually be able to figure out if a noun is weak or not just by looking at it.
Time in the Accusative Case
Most of the time when you use a time element in a German sentence without a preposition, it is used in the accusative case. This is true as long as the time mentioned is a specific time and not an indefinite time. If you say "one day" in German, it isn't a specific time, so you use the genitive case. If you say "today", "this afternoon", "every day" or any other time, you need the accusative case. The examples below show this in action.
Jeden Tag esse ich Wurst.
Every day I eat sausage.
Jede Nacht schlafe ich sechs Stunden.
Every night I sleep six hours.
Nächsten Dienstag spiele ich Fußball.
Next Tuesday I am playing soccer.

Personal Pronouns
You are likely well aware of what the nominative case personal pronouns are, as they are the ones that you need in order to learn to conjugate German verbs. In the accusative case most of them change, which you can see in the chart below and in the example sentences that follow.
|Nominative Case
|Accusative Case
Du brauchst mich.
You need me.
Ich liebe dich.
I love you.
Sie hasst ihn.
She hates him.
Accusative Case Question Words
A lot of people don't realize that question words are actually pronouns. Their official name is "interrogative pronouns". If you are asking a question about people, you need either "wer" (who) or "wen" (whom). The former is used to ask about people in the nominative case and the latter for people in the accusative case. The question word "was" (what) can be used to inquire about the nominative or accusative cases. Below, you can see examples of this.
Wer ist das?
Who is that?
Wer lädt dich ein?
Who is inviting you?
Wen lädst du ein?
Whom are you inviting?
Was ist das?
What is that?
Was hast du in der Tasche?
What do you have in the bag?

Personal Pronouns vs Reflexive Pronouns
Personal pronouns and reflexive pronouns only differ in two places. Instead of individual gender specific pronouns for "er", "sie" and "es", you only need one pronoun for all of them, "sich". For both "sie" meaning "they" and the formal "you" "Sie", you use "sich".
Reflexive pronouns are used to restate the subject as an object. This can be done as a direct object, which is the focus for this lesson. The use of reflexive pronouns as indirect objects would require the dative case. Certain verbs in German require or are often used with a reflexive pronoun. A lot of the confusion about reflexive pronouns in German is that they often don't translate to sentences with reflexives in English. You simply have to memorize which verbs require these reflexive pronouns and then use them.
The reflexive pronoun should always match the subject of the sentence. Think of it as the subject being reflected around the verb. The verb is our mirror. Don't forget, reflections don't look exactly like the original image, which is also true of these reflexive pronouns. Below you will find examples with reflexive pronouns. The English translations mostly don't have a reflexive, but if you were to force on into the sentence, you would put it where the parentheses are.
Examples of Reflexive Pronouns
Ich ärgere mich über mich.
I am getting angry (upsetting myself) at myself.
Freust du dich auf das Wochenende?
Are you looking (yourself) forward to the weekend?
Er konzentriert sich auf seine Hausaufgaben.
He is concentrating (himself) on his homework.
Click here to find out why you have been thinking about reflexive verbs incorrectly all along.
Accusative Case Prepositions
There are a lot of prepositions in German. Some of them require you to use the accusative case after them. The prepositions that always take the accusative case are listed below with their translations. I use the mnemonic device "BO FUDGE" to remember the accusative case prepositions. Think of it as if you had body odor (BO) so bad that it physically manifested itself in the form of fudge. Yes, that is incredibly gross, but it does help you put a memory tool to the prepositions that take the accusative case. They can be seen in action in the examples after the prepositions.
Examples of Accusative Prepositions
bis – until
Bis nächsten Donnerstag habe ich viel zu tun.
Until next Thursday I have a lot to do.
ohne – without
Ich gehe nicht nach draußen ohne meinen Mantel.
I am not going outside without my coat.
für – for
Er gibt viel Geld für die Karten aus.
He is spending a lot of money for the tickets.
um – around
Mein Vater fährt um die Ecke.
My father is driving around the corner.
durch – through
Der Rennkuckuck rennt durch den Tunnel.
The roadrunner runs through the tunnel.
gegen – against
Was hast du gegen meinen Bruder?
What do you have against my brother?
entlang – along
Ich laufe den Strand entlang.
I am walking along the beach.
Be careful with the preposition "entlang". When it is used after the object (technically called a postposition instead of a preposition), it uses the accusative case. When "entlang" is used before the object, you need the genitive case.
Ich laufe entlang des Weges.
I am walking along the path.
Click here for songs about prepositions in German.
One of the most requested video topics on my YouTube channel is the two-way prepositions (Wechselpräpositionen). These prepositions can take either the accusative or dative case. Most German teachers over simplify the use of these prepositions and tell you if there is motion use accusative and if there is no motion use dative.
The problem with this thinking is immediately apparent when you ask yourself which case to use if you are playing a game on a field. Playing clearly means you are moving, so a lot of student assume this means you have to use the accusative case. Unfortunately, the dative case is actually needed here, as you aren't changing location, which is what the teachers really mean to say. If there is a change in the location or the state of being, you use the accusative case with these prepositions.
To be more precise, if the person or thing to which the prepositional phrase is referring is moving from one location to another or changing its state of being through the action created in the prepositional phrase, you need the accusative case. If there is no change of location or state, you need the dative case.
Examples of Wechselpräpositionen in the Accusative Case
Ich hänge das Bild an die Wand.
I am hanging the picture onto the wall.
Er legt das Blatt Papier auf den Tisch.
He lays the piece of paper on the table.
Der Ball rollt hinter den Kühlschrank.
The ball rolls behind the refrigerator.
Click here for a full lesson dedicated to making sure you never use Wechselpräpositionen incorrectly again.
Verbs with Fixed Prepositions
The term "verbs with fixed prepositions" is misleading at best. These prepositions don't have to be used with these verbs. They are commonly used with them, however, which is why this term came to be. Sometimes, such as in the examples below, their use is pretty straight forward. The preposition requires a particular case, you use that case. That isn't always the case, however.
Er entscheidet sich für die Pizzeria.
He decided (himself) for the pizzeria.
Wir bitten Sie um Vergebung.
We are asking you for forgiveness.
If you use a Wechselpräposition (two-way preposition) with one of these verbs, it isn't always apparent which case to use, as the verb doesn't immediately scream motion or non-motion. In these cases, it is best to memorize which case to use as you encounter these verbs.

Dj Tira Ft. Joocy – Won't Let You Go (Pro-Tee's 2019 Remix)
Uber-talented disc jockey and producer, Pro-Tee returns to old habits with the remix of DJ Tira and Joocy's monster hit record, "Won't Let You Go."
It has been years since the Afrotainment Boss launched the sensational record that has now become an evergreen classic.
In fact, it looks to get a lifespan extension on a yearly basis with several remake versions by many industry players.
This time, it is Pro-Tee who takes on the tall feet as he attempts to breathe new meaning and life into an already blazing record.
They say you do not fix what is not broken, but this master of the covers looks to have other ideas as he brings the finest of his craft, talent and artistry to bare.
After all, this is his ability-in-chief; especially with his "Heartless Bang (Pro-Tee's Boomin Base Remake)" of Bizza Wethu and Mr Thela's jam still making the waves after a world of dominance.
This way, he makes magic in unique and unexpected proportions as he adds the bangs, beats and instrumentals to re-engineer an Afro House spice into a Gqom belter.
DJ Tira and Joocy must be proud as their work again might be set to make a dominance on the trends with "Won't Let You Go (Pro-Tee's 2019 Remix)" and you do not want to be left out.

Winter Olympians Train, Entertain at Lake Placid
Photo by: ORDA
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. - Summer is ticking away for many of us, but for world class winter athletes, the off-season continues for several more months. Nordic and freestyle skiers are getting ready for next winter. That preparation is most evident at the Olympic Jumping Complex in Lake Placid where some competitors soar from the 90 meter ski jump, while others plunge into the 750,000 freestyle pool until October.
Even though summer training is serious business to these athletes, they do let their hair down for the entertainment of visitors to the jumping complex. Well into the fall, ski jumpers, aerial skiers, mogul skiers, snowboarders and freeriders train daily at these sites, operated by the New York Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA). The United States National Championships in Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined will be held in Lake Placid over Columbus Day weekend.
As part of this action, ORDA presents Wet and Wild Wednesday and Soaring Saturday when these young fliers throw down for the masses in competitions and exhibitions. Weekly events in both activities continue through August 20. Imagine watching winter sports like ski jumping and freestyle skiing in the comfort of shorts and tee shirts.
At Wet and Wild Wednesday, you will witness aerial skiers sliding down a ramp on skis and then launching up to 60 feet in the air. This enables them to execute various spinning and twisting tricks. The 750,000 gallon pool is aerated with bubbles to cushion the landing.
But there is more to this than just athletic achievement. This is show time: on Wednesday, the music rocks with Official Radio Station Y-106-FM. There is a jive MC, and audience participation before the festivities, with a cool
atmosphere for everyone.
Soaring Saturday, at 1 p.m. on Aug. 16, is presented by Bling, where it's fun shopping. Bling is located at 237 Lake Flower Avenue in Saranac Lake. At Bling, you'll find Crocs, Prana, Horny Toad, Fiesta Wear, Life is Good,
apparel for the entire family and other fun gifts and certificates. Get the full story at blingusa.com.
Soaring Saturday features the top eastern jumpers sailing from the 90-meter ski jump tower in a king-of-the-hill, distance only format. These athletes, aspiring to secure future spots on the United States National Team, make use
of Lake Placid's artificial jumping surfaces to emulate winter speeds and distances. It's a summer activity dating back over 20 years.
Get the latest updates by listening to Soaring Saturday's Official Radio Station, Rock 105-FM.
ORDA concessionaire, Centerplate, serves a tasty summertime fare each day to satisfy your lunchtime appetite.
Admission is $14 for adults and $8 for juniors and seniors. This includes the chairlift alongside the ski jump landing hills and the 26-story elevator ride to the top of the 120 meter ski jump tower for unparalleled views of
the High Peaks.
ORDA also offers the Gold Medal Adventure from 9 am to 12:30 pm Wednesday through Sunday. For $35, participants can try wheeled luge and the bobsled push start. The price includes a tour of the complex and an Athlete Meet and Greet session. You can register in advance by calling 518-523-2202 at the ski jumps on the day of participation.

Bilateral lesions of the striate cortex and/or the optic radiations cause bilateral hemianopic defects, often with a sparing visual field portions. Large bilateral lesions can cause cortical blindness even though it is sometimes denied by the patient (Anton's syndrome). In transient or persistent deficits the most frequent causes are emboli of the top of the basilar artery or atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the basilar artery with the involvement of the occipital lobes [4, 5].

In visual neglect, objects in one field are ignored while objects in the other field are not. Neglect usually occurs with large right cerebral lesions involving the temporal and parietal lobes, supplied by the PCAs, or parietal and frontal lobe structures, supplied by the middle cerebral arteries. In patients with PCA territory infarction, neglect is usually limited to visual stimuli, while thalamic, frontal, and anterior parietal lobe lesions usually cause multimodality neglect including visual, auditory and sensory stimuli.

Noname has been putting out hints about her next album all week, but in an Instagram post today she said "This the last picture I'm posting. Next one will be the album cover."
In classic Noname fashion she is still keeping the release date a secret, but this makes it seem like it's coming soon. It's been two years since Noname put out her debut album Telefone which was a success among critics and fans alike. Telefone marked a serious step forward for Noname as an artist. For years before it came out she was an artist with a handful of tracks and a lot of dope features, coming up with other Y.C.A. kids like Chance, Mick Jenkins and Saba but when she released her album she established herself as one of the dopest MCs in Chicago. It's going to be interesting to see what direction she goes after Telefone, a pensive album that balanced mortality and joy just like her city. Noname is one of the realest rappers because she doesn't try to hide her thoughts and her experiences go straight into her lyrics. I can't wait to see where she goes next.

Lest you've been under a rock for the last year or so, you've seen a major fashion transition back to the '90s. Hat to the back, basketball shorts and the likes have been on hand so often that the only way to differentiate athletes from athletically inspired celebrities is to look at their footwear. Rihanna is one particular lover of the trend as her latest collaborative collection with River Island continues on in the same vein as her previous looks: sexy athlete with loads of body baring flare.

UK police on Friday released names of the Vietnamese nationals whose bodies were found in a refrigerated truck in southern England last month.
It may be noted that several Vietnamese families had come forward with reports of missing relatives in the aftermath of the tragic incident. Police have said that they are in touch with the Vietnamese authorities on the issue of repatriating the bodies. "This was an incredibly important process and our team has been working hard to bring answers to worried families who fear their loved one may be among those whose tragic journey ended on our shores", Sputnik quoted Tim Smith, the assistant chief constable of Essex Police, as saying.
Bodies of 31 men and eight women were found from inside a truck at an industrial park in Grays, a town located 40 kilometers east of London, UK. Five suspects, including the truck driver, were arrested in connection with the incident, and three were later released on bail.
