The key for investing for this age group is thinking long term. Plan to invest a specific amount of money regularly over a long period of time.
Avoid selling stocks unless you absolutely need the liquidity, getting out at the bottom will mean missing the upswing. The current stock market offers and opportunity to buy at low prices, according to Thomas OBryon, CEO of Wilshire Finance Partners, a Los Angeles-based real estate lending company. 35 to 55: Success in investing requires a long-term strategy and diversified portfolio with investments that include but not limited to real estate, commodities, stocks and bonds.
Avoid selling stocks and consider buying shares in financially solid companies that have earnings and a small debt to equity ratio. If you’re in the bond market go with shorter-term notes, you will be less affected by volatility and they are more liquid.
Consider a 5% to 15% investment in precious metals as a hedge. “In 5,000 years, gold has never been worth zero,” says Kevin DeMeritt, president of Lear Capital, a Los Angeles-based precious metals investment company.
55 to 75 and older:
People are living longer, healthier lives. This, combined with inflation, means there is a real concern for longevity risk management. These folks need investments that provide predictable monthly cash flow, security of principal, generate attractive rates of return, offer diversification, and an inflationary advantage that is not affected by market volatility, says Wilshire Finance’s OBryon. “Mortgage pools, generally managed by private lending institutions, represent one of the greatest sources of investment revenue opportunities today,” OBryon says. “Investing in a mortgage pool fund can provide lifetime retirement income making them ideal for retirees, those nearing retirement and others on a fixed income.”
Mortgage pool loans are based on the value of real property. They are generally short-term, bridge loans (one year to five years). As asset-based loans, the primary source of repayment is from the sale or refinancing of the collateral property.

US 4674794 AAbstract
The front end of each side linkage of an ottoman thrusting/retracting pantograph linkage system for a motion chair is provided by a link, pivotally mounted to respective front end links at two vertically spaced sites. For each side, an ottoman mounting bracket is provided, having a generally vertical-plane flange and a transverse flange. The ottoman is secured to the two transverse flanges, and the vertical-plane flange, which extends below the transverse flange, is pivotally secured near its lower end to a corresponding lower end site on the pantograph front end links. The vertical-plane flanges of the ottoman-mounting brackets lie outboard of and in planes parallel to those of the respective front end links. A tension coil spring is provided at each side for tending to keep the ottoman positioned across the front edges of the front end links. But if, while the mechanism is being operated in a closing sense, the upper, rear edge of the ottoman encounters unusual resistance typical of someone or something being in the space through which the ottoman must move to fully retract, the ottoman will tiltingly release, against tensioning of the springs, permitting whatever is lodged, especially if it is animate, the opportunity and facility to escape, whereupon the springs will restore the ottoman to its normal disposition. By preference a stop is provided to limit tilting of the ottoman to about 90 degrees, in order to avoid damage to the springs which could occur were the ottoman to be intentionally tilted by a chair user's feet, e.g. so the user, while having the ottoman extended, could rest his or her feet against what, normally, is the backside of the ottoman.

The motion chair of claim 7, further including:transversally elongated sub-ottoman means mounted to said pantograph links of said left and right side linkages rearwardly of said ottoman. Description
In motion chairs which have an operating mechanism which includes side linkages that have respective pantograph (lazy-tong) linkage systems for thrusting and raising an ottoman (sometimes called a legrest or a footrest), when the mechanism is operated in one sense, and for lowering and stowing that ottoman when the mechanism is operated in an opposite sense, it is customary to mount the ottoman (which generally is a frontally upholstered and padded fairly rigid board), by bolting the ottoman directly to links, flanges or brackets which form corresponding forward ends of the respective pantograph linkage systems (including parallelogram linkage extensions which may be provided as parts of such linkage systems).
FIG. 1 is a small-scale perspective view of an electrically-operated motion chair having an ottoman and a sub-ottoman, the chair being shown with its ottoman in a fully raised and thrust condition. Although not especially apparent in this view, this motion chair is provided with the resiliently-releasing ottoman structure embodying the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged scale fragmentary side elevational view of the chair of FIG. 1, with upholstery omitted and some structure indicated schematically in order to emphasize details of the novel ottoman-mounting structure. The normal position of the mechanism and ottoman as the ottoman is almost fully retracted is indicated in full lines in this figure. The two sets of phantom lines of the same structure which also are shown in this figure indicate how the novel mechanism permits the ottoman to become progressively resiliently biased away from the usual position, should a person or article (who or which is not supposed to be there) occupy the envelope of space through which the ottoman would normally move while being retracted.
The drawings show a typical motion chair 10, especially but not essentially one having its upholstered seat frame 12 mounted to a base by an ottoman thrusting/retracting mechanism 14 (which could also be one constructed and arranged for reclining the chair backrest relative to the chair seat/arm frame and/or for inclining an inner upholstered seat frame relative to an outer, stationary frame), that is motorized, so that manual actuation of the conveniently located switch 16 will serve to extend and retract the pantograph linkage systems 18 of the respective side linkages of the mechanism 14, e.g. by an electric motor-type linear actuator 58 e.g. mounted between a cross-member of the mechanism 14 and a cross member of the base.
As shown, an ottoman 20 is provided at the front ends of the pantograph linkage systems 18 of the mechanism 14, but, in accordance with the principles of the present invention it is mounted to these linkage systems in an unusual way.
A purpose of the special mounting for the main ottoman in accordance with principles of the present invention is to attempt to reduce the chances that should a lodgement occur in this space, or nevertheless occur in the space between the main ottoman and the sub-ottoman, the lodged creature will be able more easily to withdraw without significant injury, or even if inanimate or otherwise unable or unwilling to withdraw will not be placed in a garroting grip between the closing ottoman and the sub-ottoman or chair front.
According to principles of the present invention, instead of an ottoman mounting flange being directly pivotally mounted to the front ends 26, 28 of the respective bars 30, 32 of the respective pantograph linkage systems 18 of the mechanism 14, a connecting link 34 is pivotally mounted there, e.g. by respective transverse, horizontal axis pivot joints 36, 38. The links 34 may each be simple, flat links oriented in vertical planes. As shown, each link 34 extends a substantial distance below its lower pivot joint 36. Each link 34 is shown provided near the lower end thereof with a transverse, horizontal axis pivot joint 40 by which it is connected with the closely-outboard vertical plane flange 42 of an ottoman mounting bracket 44. The latter also has a transverse flange 46, which preferably is bent at right angles to the respective flange 42, and projects inboards.
Further, although the present inventor certainly prefers so designing, constructing and installing the electrical operation mechanism that the travel-to-close obtainable from the electric motor is sufficient to fully retract and stow the ottoman without causing damage by attempting to pull the ottoman further towards the chair, the ottoman mounting structure provided in accordance with principles of the present invention will accomodate a small amount of attempted overretraction. And, unlike the apparatus of the prior art, this accomodation is accomplished by resilient tilting displacemnt of the ottoman, with its brackets, so that the usual position is disturbed as little as necessary, and is automatically re-achieved as the motor is next operated to again thrust the ottoman.
The term `chair`, has been used herein in a generic sense, inasmuch as the principles of the invention can be used on any similar unit of seating furniture, regardless of whether it is free-standing, or incorporated in some larger item, such as a loveseat or couch.
It should now be apparent that the resiliently releasing ottoman for motion chair as described hereinabove, possesses each of the attributes set forth in the specification under the heading "Summary of the Invention" hereinbefore. Because it can be modified to some extent without departing from the principles thereof as they have been outlined and explained in this specification, the present invention should be understood as encompassing all such modifications as are within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Postoperative thromboembolic complications, which include symptomatic deep vein thrombosis, bleeding, and pulmonary embolus, are recognized causes of patient morbidity, mortality, increased length of stay, and higher healthcare costs. Various thromboprophylaxis guidelines have been recommended to prevent and thereby reduce the incidence of such events. However, despite various studies exploring prophylaxis measures, the incidence of venous thromboembolic events has remained relatively unchanged over the past 10 years. We therefore aimed to: (1) evaluate the current 2011 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the 2012 American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) recommendations concerning venous thromboembolic disease after lower extremity joint arthroplasty; and (2) report on different modalities of prophylaxis, specifically, pharmacological agents, mechanical compression devices, and inferior vena cava filters. Both AAOS and ACCP guidelines recommend a combined approach with mechanical compression devices and pharmacological prophylaxis. A major difference is that the AAOS work group does not recommend specific pharmacological agents, whereas the ACCP guidelines give specific recommendations. Additionally, routine primary thromboprophylaxis with inferior vena cava filters is only recommended when there are contraindications to anticoagulation therapy.PMID: 23292672 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] SharePublication Types, MeSH Terms, SubstancesPublication TypesPractice GuidelineMeSH TermsArthroplasty, Replacement/adverse effects*Arthroplasty, Replacement/standards*Compression Bandages/standards*Fibrinolytic Agents/administration & dosage*HumansOrthopedics/standards*Treatment OutcomeVena Cava Filters/standards*Venous Thromboembolism/etiology*Venous Thromboembolism/prevention & control*SubstancesFibrinolytic AgentsLinkOut - more resourcesOther Literature SourcesAccess more work from the authors - ResearchGatePubMed Commons home
