The NFL's Week 5 is already upon us. It's all happening too fast. Am I the only one who's starting to get depressed about football ending? To make things worse — this week the NFL schedule makers have declared war on degenerate gamblers. Miami, Cleveland and St. Louis (a combined 2-10) — quite possibly my three favorite teams to bet against — all have byes. With a limited menu to choose from my NFL proposition wager recommendations become invaluable. (And by that I mean — worthless).
Actually, last week I hit big with the Bills under 24 points and the Pats over 30 points. As far as the most passing yards prop goes, Kyle Orton screwed me a little (I promise that is the very last time I will write those words). The positive prop day takes my year to date total to -7500 jermajesties overall. Let's keep it going. Here's Week 5.
To a die-hard Cowboys fan it's just not funny. Especially when the die-hard names his youngest son after this poor, cursed SOB.
Over/under 100. How many fantasy points your league should penalize Eagles running back Ronnie Brown for inexplicably tossing the ball backwards as he was being tackled at the goal line.
Actually 100 seems about right. Someone needs to convince Ronnie Brown he doesn't still play for the Dolphins.
Over/under 7.5: How psyched QB Chad Henne was when doctors told him his separated shoulder would prohibit him from finishing out the 2011 Miami Dolphins season.
Over. I would say it was about a 9. And from the looks of who they're bringing in for tryouts I'm guessing his replacement's quarterback rating will be about the same.
I know she's denying it but the grabbing of her stomach and backside at the exact moment the horrific noise is emitted serves as a dead giveaway. Nancy Grace Indigestigates!
And if for some reason she was forced to drive one — go ahead and add another 30,000/1 that she'd be so excited about the prospect that she'd sing loudly to draw attention to herself. Hard to convince us that your rock is shining bright when your ride is an Italian-made car anyone's gardener could afford.
Over/under $36,750,000: How much money will this new revolutionary workout product introduced this week on Jimmy Kimmel Live rake in for the 2011 holiday season?
The ultimate stocking stuffer for male Lady Gaga fans. I'll take the over.
That's that. Enjoy week 5.


There has been a renewed interest in secure authentication of students in online examinations. Online examinations are important and high stake assets in the context of remote online learning. The logistical challenges and absence of live invigilation in remote un-supervised online examination makes the identification and authentication process extremely difficult. The authors implemented pre-defined text-based challenge questions for student authentication in online examination using a Profile Based Authentication Framework (PBAF) approach. The pre-defined questions require students to register their answers, which causes distraction and usability challenges. In this study, a non-invasive activity-based learning journey questions approach was implemented combined with the imagebased questions, using the PBAF approach. Findings of the study shows significant difference in the efficiency of activity-based and image-based questions during the learning process (p <0.01). There was no significant difference in the accuracy of multiple-choice image-based and activity-based questions (p > 0.01). There was a significant difference in the accuracy of activity-based questions and activity-date questions (p <0.01).

We are seeking to recruit a number of enthusiastic and hard working doctors to join our Emergency Departments as Junior Specialty Doctors at City Hospital, Birmingham and Sandwell General Hospital. These posts will be six months to one year fixed term posts in the first instance starting as soon as possible with the possibility of longer term opportunities within the Trust subject to performance and progress. These posts would be at aimed at junior grade CT/ST 1-2 level (ie 1-3 years post qualification/post foundation level) and whilst not approved training posts we would mirror the training opportunities to those given to training post holders. The JSD EM posts will allow you to consolidate your experience in a supportive ED environment, giving you wide ranging clinical exposure and training in a progressive Trust that has won numerous national and local awards. We would be keen to work with successful applicants and help you continue to build your Emergency Medicine Career. We envisage that the JSD would act as a stepping stone into specialty training and we would look to encourage and fully support successful completion of Emergency Medicine exams.
The successful candidates will have at least 2 years experience post qualification, full GMC Registration with a license to practice and up to date ALS certification. Recent acute hospital experience at ST1 level, or equivalent (within the last 12 months) of at least 6 months duration is essential. Previous Emergency Medicine experience would be desirable and knowledge of the workings of the NHS is preferable.
The Trust is building the 670 bed Midland Metropolitan Hospital which is due to open in Spring 2019. This new state of the art acute hospital in Grove Lane, Smethwick will bring together all acute services onto one site.
The single-site Acute Hospital will benefit from co-located specialist services which will support the new Emergency Department with dedicated imaging facility and Assessment Units. It will provide state-of-the-art treatment and care for patients from Sandwell and across the region and will become the civic heart of the area and a point of pride for the community.
The Trust is a key partner with the local commissioning group and the local authorities in the Right Care Right Here programme which seeks to deliver a redevelopment of local health services. The programme includes one of the largest investments in the UK with new facilities in both the acute and community sectors. Included within this is the new Midland Metropolitan Hospital.
The Trust has a very good reputation for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching with strong links to the University of Birmingham and Health Education West Midlands. The Trust is home to a number of University departments and we are now looking to develop research capacity in a number of specialties in the Trust including Emergency Medicine so there is likely to be opportunities to become involved in research activities. There is a clinical skills laboratory on the Acute Medical Unit which is the first in the UK.
The area boasts affordable housing with popular residential districts such as Harborne and Sutton Coldfield an easy commute to either of the main hospital sites. There are a number of very good schools and colleges locally (including a number of independent and grammar schools such as the King Edwards Schools). Birmingham is a very green city with more than 8,000 acres of green space including impressive parks around the city. Due to our central location and good motorway connections we are in easy reach of a number of beautiful rural locations including the Peak District, Cannock Chase, the Lickey Hills and the Cotswolds.


Over the last few years Diversiton has seen a number of significant developments in the area of diversity which I thought I'd share with you. Here are eight ways you can start to mainstream diversity in your organisation.
1. Make your language more fluid – and relevant!
The most obvious development is around language. The narrow framework of Equality and Diversity (E & D) has become more fluid and flexible. 'Diversity' is now often known by many words such as – Inclusion, Empowerment and Respect. These words often relate directly to core organisational values such as engagement, responsibility, ownership or compassion. So, take a moment and ask what does 'diversity' mean today for our organisation?
The second point is that diversity is being mainstreamed across more and more organisations rather than being treated as a 'bolt-on' to training, HR or equality. The importance of recognising different cultures, traditions and beliefs is now seen more as an organisation wide responsibility – rather than being the sole responsibility of a single Department or even a single person. So, is Diversity a core priority across your whole Organisation?
3. Create a key vehicle to promote inclusion and respect.
Many organisations use a calendar as the foundation (and focus) of their diversity activities. We at Diversiton have seen our Diversity Calendar become an 'employee calendar', a 'training calendar', a calendar with the 'organisation name' or the 'organisation strapline' – to name just some. All of these calendars include important religious, diversity and cultural dates – relevant to staff and users. Other diversity vehicles include Bespoke Calendars, Printed Wallcharts, an Outlook Calendar, The Diversity Champions Award, Diversity Resource webpages, Apps and our Learning Academy. Looking forward, what vehicle(s) will you use in 2016 to promote diversity, inclusion and respect?
What images would you include for your Healthcare organisation?
4. Budget now for results.
We've also seen that this new army of organisation diversity vehicles are likely to be funded by HR, Community Services, Corporate Communications (PR), the Chief Executive's Office or Training Departments (or a combination of two or more departments). The stewardship of diversity, respect and values can rest across many parts of the organisation – again demonstrating mainstreaming.
Funding for 2016 activities is much more likely to be specified well in advance – in new annual budgets, utilising underspend and the creation of cross departmental funding arrangements. Have you an appropriate budget for 2016?
5. Promote consistent messages and reinforce your values.
The new employees calendar (or whatever it's called in your organisation) with its dates, information and images reinforces the values and culture of the organisation, shares key information and promotes respect – 365 days every year. It's a powerful, highly focussed and very cost effective resource. How will your Organisation promote consistent messages and reinforce your values throughout 2016?
The impact of the above is important to note – for the effective promotion of diversity is key to individual and organisational wellbeing. Now is the time to plan effectively for 2016. No, it's not too early! Work on your diversity strategy and decide on the vehicle. Whatever your budget – be determined to get the very best results. If it's a calendar then encourage your staff to take pictures, plan events that link to core organisational priorities and capture best practice across all departments and areas. Who is going to take ownership of this process in your Organisation?
What images would you include for your Local Authority?
7. Build an inclusive and respectful workplace – that reaches outwards.
Diversity is no longer just about ticking a box. It's about each employee playing their part in building an inclusive and respectful workplace. This has to be the number one priority for HR, training & personnel specialists. For in the face of increasing religious extremism, cultural intolerance, hate crime and shocking acts of inhumanity being broadcast directly to us – how else are we going to create communities that trust each other? Promoting diversity and respect is now an essential, urgent and core individual and organisational opportunity and responsibility. So, ask how can your organisation promote its values of respect, inclusion and engagement into the local community and wider world beyond?
8. Start now – create an action plan.
– Share this page with other Managers and your colleagues.
– Set up a 'Re-thinking diversity in our organisation' meeting.
– Explore how diversity, empowerment and respect can help to achieve your organisation objectives.
– Set up a 2016 employee diversity and respect team.
– Create a diversity strategy for 2016.
– Write a diversity policy if you haven't got one.
– Put diversity and respect as a regular item on the agenda of Senior Management/Management meetings.
– Recognise employees (e.g. in appraisals, at team meetings or with awards) who demonstrate best practice in the way they deal with colleagues, students, patients or customers.

Three new beach bars planned for Geroskipou
By Bejay Browne February 12, 2018 February 21, 2018 7 109
The much-anticipated construction of three beach bars along Geroskipou municipal beach will get underway next week, according to the mayor.
Michalis Pavlides told the Cyprus Mail that the winning tender will be announced in a couple of days, ahead of work at the three sites getting underway next week.
"One company will build all three kiosks (beach bars) and the premises will also have all of the necessary facilities available to the public," he said.
Pavlides added that each new area will be around 220 square metres, and that 80 square metres of each space will consist of toilets, changing rooms and showers.
The first of the new ventures will be created at an area known as 'Ricccos', with the second and the third 250 and the third 300 metres further along.
"The work will begin immediately and the contract stipulates that it must be finished by the end of May," he said.
A second tender will also soon be announced for operators of the kiosks, and they will be awarded to three separate individuals or companies, so that no-one holds a monopoly, he said.
"The people working these facilities need to be in place by June 10th and once finished, the kiosks will be open all year long," he said.
The mayor said the project is hugely important for the area and that facilities will be kept clean and working all year long, and be checked 'every hour'.
Pavlides said that up until now, around 4,000 to 5,000 visitors have been using the popular stretch of beach at weekends at summer peak time, and added that with the added benefit of the new facilities, the municipality expects to attract at least 8,000 beach goers every weekend.
The mayor said tourism is on the rise in the municipality and both expanding and new hotels mean even more people visiting the district.
"Two hotels in the area have added two extra floors and we have another new hotel as well. There are eleven thousand residents of Geroskipou and in the summer time, we have a further eleven thousand or so staying, this increase is like the size of another town," he said.
The new facilities will be a good source of income for the municipality, and also provide everything both locals and tourists will need, he said.
The tender to operate the 'Riccos' kiosk will be for three and a half years, and no decisions on the length of the contracts for the other two have been taken, he said.

}

A: use findLastVisibleItemPosition() and findLastCompletelyVisibleItemPosition() functions for GridLayoutManager:
private val recyclerViewOnScrollListener = object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener(){
    override fun onScrolled(recyclerView: RecyclerView, dx: Int, dy: Int) {
        super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy)
        val layoutManager = recyclerView.layoutManager as GridLayoutManager
        val visibleItemCount = layoutManager.findLastVisibleItemPosition()
    }
}

A: Finally guys I found a solution.My recyclerview was inside a NestedScrollview so I cant get right things for scrollListener.I changed NestedScroll to LinearLayout everything is cool.So conculusion do not put recyclerview inside scrollview if you want to listen scroll of recyclerview

My forty five-minute jeepney ride became two hours when the streets were flooded by the heavy rain last night. The flood is already so heavy that all can be seen at the streets is water. There had been a heavy traffic and many vehicles stopped moving. This is totally a different scenario from other countries and cities. My friend who is in Europe is experiencing summer right now and even had a photo wearing castleberg outdoors attire. The sun is brightly shining in their place. Unlike here in our place that is always gloomy and rain is pouring at the afternoon. According to the weather forecast, there is a storm at our place and it may last for days. Lucky for me last night, I was able to ride a jeepney that was in a good condition or else I would have to walk in that flooding street. On our way, a lot of people were at the street waiting for passenger vehicles to passby wherein most of it were stranded at the traffic or on the flooding street. Before I was able to ride a passenger vehicle, I really try hard to be able to have a seat at the jeepney because there are also a lot of passengers like me who were waiting for their ride. I am really grateful that despite the flooding streets I was able to arrive safely at our house. Thank you Lord for the safe travel and for your protection.

Judge dismisses investor lawsuit against SeaWorld
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A judge in southern California has dismissed a securities fraud lawsuit brought by investors in SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. who claimed company officials misled them about the impact of the documentary "Blackfish" on the company's financial performance and attendance at its parks.
U.S. District Judge Michael Anello said the investors failed to show that SeaWorld officials had deliberately made false statements, that "Blackfish" alone caused attendance declines and that SeaWorld officials knew "Blackfish" had caused attendance declines.
The lawsuit was brought by pension retirement programs for Arkansas state workers and Danish workers on behalf of all investors who had purchased shares in the company after its initial public offering April 2013 until August 2014.
The documentary chronicled the life of SeaWorld's killer whale, "Tilikum," who has been linked to the deaths of three people, including SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau. The film suggested that captivity provokes mental distress and violent behavior in the enormous marine mammals. Attendance declined after the film's release.
"As currently pleaded, plaintiffs' attendance allegations are insufficient to demonstrate that a material misrepresentation or omission regarding Blackfish caused attendance to decline at all SeaWorld Entertainment parks," the judge wrote in his March 31 order.
SeaWorld Entertainment not only runs three SeaWorld parks in Orlando, San Diego and San Antonio, but also two Busch Garden parks, three water parks, a marine mammal interactive park and Sesame Place park.
SeaWorld doesn't typically comment on pending litigation, "but we are pleased with the Court's decision to dismiss the case at this stage," said SeaWorld spokeswoman Aimée Jeansonne Becka.
The investors claimed in their lawsuit that materials SeaWorld filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission before its initial public offering in April 2013 were false since they failed to acknowledge the allegations made in the documentary. They also said that then-CEO James Atchison and other SeaWorld executives made false statements when they attributed quarter-to-quarter attendance declines to bad weather, a new pricing strategy and changes on the calendar for spring break and Easter, instead of blaming "Blackfish." The investors said competitors Universal Studios and Disney faced similar challenges and saw attendance increases.
But the judge said SeaWorld can't be compared to the other theme parks companies since their parks are in different cities, and that weather may affect SeaWorld more than the other parks because animals are involved. The Disney and Universal parks also had new, high-profile expansions which SeaWorld lacked, he said.
In the past year and a half, several of SeaWorld's top executives named in the lawsuit, including Atchison, have left the company.
New CEO Joel Manby announced last month that SeaWorld was ending its killer whale breeding program and that it would soon stop using killer whales for theatrical performances. Manby said society's view of killer whales in captivity had shifted and SeaWorld's decision reflected that change.

Women's Rights Soon To Be On The Ballot In New York – Above the Law
As the first month of the year winds down, ground is being laid for constitutional revisions. No better place to start than New York! Ever since the Supreme Court turned into the "We Have The Votes" branch and overturned Roe v. Wade, there has been a scramble to protect the right to choose before further erosions take place. New York looks ready to put protections in place. From Ms. Magazine:
Lawmakers in New York will soon vote on an Equal Rights Amendment that explicitly protects reproductive rights. The proposed ERA would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex—defined to include "pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes and reproductive healthcare and autonomy." If passed, New York would be the first state to explicitly protect reproductive rights in an ERA.
"The reality is that if you can't make decisions about your reproductive life, you can't participate equally in the society," said Andrea Miller, president of the National Institute of Reproductive Health. "Being able to make decisions about pregnancy—whether to continue that pregnancy or not—that's a core question of equality as well as equity."
The current New York state constitution does not require equal rights for women. If the ERA passes, New York would become the 28th state to have an ERA protecting women's rights.
Such passage would also make New York join the 17 states (and D.C.) that have abortion rights enshrined in their constitution. I wouldn't be surprised if many states bring back the effect of Roe with their ballots, considering that around 60% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. There is something poetic about the counter-majoritarian difficulty getting curbed by the voice of the people.
If you live in New York and want your opinion to be heard, here is a handy link for reaching out to your representatives.
What can you do? Fill out this form which will let your reps know that you want the Equal Rights Amendment to be law in NY.https://t.co/GnTj1vnxFm

A Smart Album in iPhoto will allow you to have an album that automatically fills itself based on certain restrictions you set up when creating the album. My Smart Albums are set up to collect any movie files created after our baby's birthday. Smart Albums are not just for movies, they are for photos also; but for the purpose of this article I am focusing on movies.
Setting up a Smart Album in iPhoto is easy. In the File menu choose "New Smart Album." (image 1). You will then be presented with a dialog window to set up the parameters of your album. You'll want to enter a name for the album to help you find your files later. In the "Match the following condition" section you will find pull down menus to set the restrictions on your album. You can add restrictions by clicking the "+" sign. Restrictions can be set up to filter files by date, file types, ratings (if you rate your photos and movies), keywords (if you use keywords for your files), file size, and more. (image 2). If you want to remove a restriction just click the "-" button next to that restriction.
Some of the restriction categories will require you to enter additional information. For example, you might want the album to find movies that contain the word "baby" in the title. Another smart album might just collect files from 2008. The choice is up to you.
To collect movies files select "Photo is Movie." iPhoto thinks the movie files are photos, so you have to tell it to pick out those that are movie file types.
Date is after 3/12/2008. The baby was born on 3/13, so I want movies from that date forward.
Once your restriction are set, click "OK" and all files fitting the restrictions will automatically go right into the album. Any new content added to iPhoto matching these restrictions will automatically be added to the Smart Album.
If you decide you don't want a certain Smart Album in your library anymore just click the album and press "Delete" on your keyboard.
That's about it. Smart Albums are easy to set up, and a great way to help organize your iPhoto library.

Q: Keypress Function for two pages I have a page which when a link is clicked, I use the ajax call to load up its content in a given div. Now my problem is this, In pages of link-1 and link-2 I have this code in each
<!-- THIS IS FOR THE FIRST LINK-->
$(document).keyup(function(e) {
    x = document.getElementById("show_photo<?php echo $id; ?>");
    y = document.getElementById("full_photo<?php echo $id; ?>");
    if(e.keyCode == 27){
        if(y.style.display == "block"){
            $("#full_photo<?php echo $id; ?>").css('display', 'none');
        } else if(x.style.display !== "block"){
            $("#all_photo<?php echo $id; ?>").css('display', 'none');
        }
    }
});

<!-- THIS IS FOR THE SECOND LINK-->
$(document).keyup(function(e) {
    x = document.getElementById("show_photo");
    y = document.getElementById("full_photo");
    if(e.keyCode == 27){
        if(y.style.display == "block"){
            $("#full_photo").css('display', 'none');
        } else if(x.style.display !== "block"){
            $("#all_photo").css('display', 'none');
        }
    }
});

The ids are different because page-1 runs in a DB query loop. Now If link-1 is clicked and the page loads up, the code functions normal but if link-2 is clicked an its page loads up, the code doesn't function again. It says Cannot read property 'style' of null in my console.log so I found out that when I load up link-1 the code is executed and when I load up link-2 even though the link-1 page isn't visible anymore the code still runs in the page. So when I click the ESC key it can't find the ids from the page-1 so I give the error in the console.log. Please is there any way I can run both codes in the two different pages without both of them colliding with each other?

A: Try like this
--------------
code
------
    <!-- THIS IS FOR THE SECOND LINK-->
    $(document).keyup(function(e) {
        x = document.getElementById("show_photo");
        y = document.getElementById("full_photo");
        if(e.keyCode == 27){
            if(x){
                if(x.style.display !== "block"){
                    $("#all_photo").css('display', 'none');
                }
            }
            if(y){
                if(y.style.display == "block"){
                    $("#full_photo").css('display', 'none');
                }
            }
        }
    });


This a more minimalistic approach to the previous version of the lookbook. The big orange "Spring 2017" title that comes up at the back, suggests that there's scrollable content. Coreography is not totally polished, but it gets the point through, and that was what I was trying to do 🙂 Would love to hear your thoughts!
I'm almost at 10K followers 😱 As a way of thanking you, I'll release a major update of the Golden Canon Grid on Monday 🤗 Stay tuned!

A Short Story About Foreign Affairs 一個關於外交事務的短篇故事
30 September 2019. By Heman Chong
SingaporeMalaysiaHeman Chong
This is the island of Singapore.
I am from Singapore.
Singapore is the kind of state with the kind of government that acts like a disapproving East Asian father who loves to tell you what to do, where it should be done, and exactly when and how.

This is a sign that's right outside where I live. I have appropriated this as an artwork. This sign, shown out of context, is incredibly funny. And sad.

But I wasn't born in Singapore. I was born in a small, sleepy fishing village called Muar, which is located on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, about two hours from Singapore. I was born in 1977. I fall into a very common category that many Singaporeans and Malaysians are actually a part of, whether they want to admit it openly or not. I have friends who would rather die than admit that they are half Malaysian, or half Singaporean—to have a set of parents from two extremely different countries, which were in fact one country before 9 August 1965.

For a very long time, there has been a certain level of porousness that permeates the region, with goods, people, ideas, and cuisines, moving fluidly not only between Malaysia and Singapore, but also between the islands of Batam and Bintan—islands of Indonesia. The idea that Singapore is a stand-alone Asian miracle is, for sure, a very new thing, and a very good story in our clean, globalised, and corporate world.
Singapore, as you might know, is the only country in the world that has gained independence from another country without a revolution or a war. It was simply rejected, and then subsequently ejected, from Malaysia. This is a very long story to get into, and I'll save it for another lecture. But to get to the point: because of this one separation event, from the moment of my birth I have been subjected to THREE laws governing citizenship in Singapore.
The first law: 'A person born outside Singapore before 15 May 2004 will be a Singaporean citizen by descent only if their father was a Singaporean citizen by birth or by registration at the time of birth.'
This basically means that I remain Malaysian because my dad is Malaysian, EVEN IF my mother is Singaporean. It's totally sexist.
The second law: 'The position of the Singapore Government is that dual citizenship is not allowed.'
This means that I can become a registered resident of Singapore, but only as a guest: I have to retain my Malaysian citizenship. My father, like myself, became a Permanent Resident in Singapore.
And finally, the third law: 'Sons who take up permanent residency under the sponsorship of their Permanent Resident parent, are required by law to serve National Service, just like Singaporean male citizens.'
Following the completion of their military service, Permanent Residents are given the option to apply for Singapore citizenship.
This would mean that ONLY upon my completion of two and a half years of military service in Singapore could I renounce my Malaysian citizenship and finally be bestowed Singaporean citizenship. In a nutshell, my mind and my body have been militarised against a country I was born in.

We can see, very clearly, that Singapore's sovereignty and national belonging is constructed upon the telling and re-telling of stories of our neighbours as 'lesser', 'dirty', 'unsuccessful', 'backward', 'not Asian enough', or 'too Western'. This is cultural warfare, reminiscent of the Cold War. And we're very, very good at it.

For a couple of months now, I have been walking around different cities in search of embassies.
But rather than the view you see here:
Frontal view of Philippine Embassy in New York City, 2018. Courtesy of Heman Chong
I am attempting to collect THIS view—this unheroic, neglected, silent view. As far as I'm concerned, this is still a part of an embassy. It's just the part that no one wants you to know about.
I think we can all agree that nationalism is a kind of fiction: a way of telling a story to produce some sort of an agreement about what is real and what is not, just like money, or the law. These things allow us as human beings to somehow agree with each other in a way that enables the formation of something like a cooperative: a union that allows us to interact with each other in order to dominate the planet, or the exact opposite. In most cases, it is a mix of both.
A lot of my work involves looking at and thinking about the infrastructure of our built environment, including our societies. Architect and urbanist Keller Easterling describes infrastructure as the 'overt point of contact and access, where the underlying rules of the world can be clasped in the space of everyday life'. This resonates with my experience of growing up in Singapore, and a series of encounters with how policies by politicians exert their absolute power over the built environment and consciousness of the public at large.
Infrastructure points to things that are often invisible: things that need to work smoothly, without a glitch. Within this framework, I see my practice—my entanglements with fiction writing, organising visuals structures, collecting ideas and observations—as testing the limits of infrastructure and the hidden power structures behind it.
In this realm, everything is soft and pliable. For example, instead of falling back on identity politics as hard fact and doctrine, I would often highlight these politics as something that is constantly shifting and contested, and something that needs to be complicated rather than simplified like a cheap sitcom, where everything has to be resolved by the end of every episode.
Standing on the street, standing at the borders of these architectures marked as 'another country', I feel excluded; and within this moment, I am curious about the possible slippages that allow entry into these territories.
I am looking at a back door into a system. A country is a system. Systems are coded by a person or a group of persons.
The back doors of embassies are mostly used for pizza deliveries or other random things. They are also used for the hassle-free comings and goings of the ambassador's family members. I stand at these back doors and I imagine that they are used to smuggle secrets between countries. I stand at these doors and imagine encounters that transcend red tape.
Most of these doors remain unmarked, which I think is a security thing. If you think about it, you need less protection with something that is camouflaged and unnamed. Mostly, except for the presence of a security camera, or a high tech buzzer, it'll take a lot of walking and surveying to tell that a door is the back door to an embassy.
Except maybe for this one, which is completely ridiculous and is exceptionally revealing that it is a back door. I mean, seriously guys, whoever this architect is, you should definitely fire them.
I have photographed about 300 back doors of embassies, and I think I'll just keep going on and on. It's a project that is kind of endless.
I also include buildings that were previously inhabited by embassies, like this one, which is highly recognisable in the city centre of The Hague in the Netherlands. The city is now attempting to sell the building to a private developer, hinting that they could use a new hotel—talk about foreign affairs.
In this project, I've opted not to reveal which back door is attached to whichever embassy because I don't think I am interested in a literal exposé of back doors.
What I am prepared to do is to openly admit that I might be completely wrong about some of these doors being back doors. I'm not trying to lie, but sometimes I might be just plain wrong about the door I've photographed, which really isn't a back door, but maybe a door to a small storage room or something. Like, for example, this one. I really can't decide if this is the back door or just the door to the garage that leads to a back door?
Heman Chong. Foreign Affairs #79 (detail), 2018. UV print on unprimed canvas, 450 x 300 cm. Courtesy of Heman Chong and Amanda Wilkinson Gallery
We often want to know everything, but that is an impossible task. There's so much we don't know about this world. We live in a constant state of unknowing. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I would rather be wrong, than to not have a document of what I think is the back door.
So basically, these photographs are part of a subjective collection of where and which door I think is the back door to a certain embassy, which I consider by walking in circles around the building.
I don't deal with hard fact. I write fiction and that's what I'm doing here.
In order to communicate this subjectivity, I don't ever want to show these photos as documentary photographs. I'd like to show them, repeated, infinitely. I think by doing this, it forces someone to read the image as if it were a page of text in a book.
I want to repeat these images on surfaces, like the patterns you see on old-school Windows 95 desktops or something. They kind of resemble footage from a surveillance camera; the viewer of this series is always placed in a position to look for activity around these doors, rather than look AT the door.
I think I'll put them on canvases and prints and Christmas wrapping paper and curtains and on mugs and on t-shirts and postcards and banners and socks and tabletops and bus seats.

I want these secrets—these things in politics that are unsaid, invisible, and sinister—to be on everything.
I want to end with a sentence that the Malaysian artist Redza Piyadasa wrote on a sculpture in 1977, the year I was born. It is a sentence that has influenced my work greatly over the years.
He wrote: 'A fact has no appearance'.

Keller Easterling, The Action is the Form. Victor Hugo's TED Talk (Strelka Press: 2012), 116
Heman Chong (Malaysia, 1977) is an artist whose work is located at the intersection between image, performance, situations, and writing. His practice can be read as an imagining, interrogation, and sometimes intervention into infrastructure as an everyday medium of politics. He received his Masters in Communication Art & Design from The Royal College of Art, London in 2002. He lives and works on Depot Road, Singapore.
Chong's work has been shown in a number of solo exhibitions: Spirts in the Material World (Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam, Netherlands, 2019); Legal Bookshop (Swiss Institute, New York, USA, 2018); Because, the Night (72-13, Singapore, 2017); Ifs, Ands, Or Buts (Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China, 2016); An Arm, A Leg and Other Stories (South London Gallery, London, England, 2015); Never, a Dull Moment (Art Sonje Center, Seoul, Korea, 2015); Calendars (2020–2096) (NUS Museum, Singapore, 2011); Common People and Other Stories (Art in General, New York, USA, 2007); Snore louder if you can (The Substation, Singapore, 2004); and The Silver Sessions (Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany, 2003).
In 2006, he developed a writing workshop with Leif Magne Tangen at Project Arts Center in Dublin, where they co-authored PHILIP (2007), a science fiction novel with Mark Aerial Waller, Cosmin Costinas, Rosemary Heather, Francis McKee, David Reinfurt, and Steve Rushton.
Between 2012 and 2014, Chong produced Moderation(s), a third space that exists between Witte de With Contemporary Art in Rotterdam, Netherlands and Spring Workshop in Hong Kong, China, which involved more than 50 artists and comprised a conference, three exhibitions, three residencies and a book of short stories.
Chong is the co-director and founder (with Renée Staal) of The Library of Unread Books, which has been hosted by the NTU Center for Contemporary Art, Singapore; The Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD), Manila, Philippines; Casco, Utrecht, Netherlands; Kunstverein Milano, Milan, Italy and Jameel Arts Center, Dubai, UAE.
He is currently working on a novel, The Book of Drafts, which will be published by Polyparenthesis in 2020.

Home Tech Google scores more IQ than Siri but less than humans
Google scores more IQ than Siri but less than humans
Google's virtual assistant has more intelligent quotient than Siri but it falls behind the IQ of a six year old.
Patricia Kellogg
According to an academic paper published on October 1, Google's Artificial Intelligence has a higher IQ than Siri, Apple's virtual assistant. The academic paper attempts to compare the technology of both the companies to human beings.
The paper was written by three Chinese researchers.
In 2016, Google's A.I. had an IQ of 47.28. It came ahead of Baidu, the Chinese search engine which fared 32.92. Microsoft's Bing scored 31.98 which was double of the IQ of Siri with 23.94.
A six year old registered an IQ of 55.5 while an eighteen year old scored 97 in the IQ test, according to Yong Shi. Yong Shi is an executive deputy director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Research Center on Fictitious Economy and Data Science.
Google and Microsoft systems are currently getting smarter. In 2014, Google's IQ score was 26.4, while Bing registered 13.5. During that period, the researchers did not analyze the A.I of Baidu and Siri.
Apple, Google, and Microsoft have been investing in A.I research.
The companies are improving speech recognition, image recognition, among the other areas. These techniques can be applied to revenue generating processes such as online adverts.
Comparing the existing A.I. systems of each of the companies were done to analyze its performance with human beings. Researchers were creating the analysis since it was difficult to undermine the comparison methods.
The analysts have taken into consideration the systems' abilities around "knowledge mastery, learning, use and creation."
As per the new paper, the researchers also included analysis on AlphaGo, the system for playing Chinese board game of Go from Google's parent company, Alphabet's DeepMind group.
The analysists didn't mention its IQ but stated its intelligence below compared to humans.

Permaculture Solutions for Climate Change
Permaculture Climate Change Solutions
At the International Permaculture Convergence in 2015 members of permaculture organizations from five continents wrote this comprehensive statement about climate change from a permaculture perspective.
At the International Permaculture Convergence in Epping Forest, 2015, members of permaculture organizations from five continents formed Permaculture Climate Change Solutions.
Our first undertaking was to create a comprehensive statement of the permaculture perspective on climate change, which was adopted by the General Assembly of the International Permaculture Convergence, which included over 600 people from over 70 countries. We invite additional permaculture organizations to add your names to the statement below, and to share it widely.
Permaculture Climate Change Statement
Permaculture is a system of ecological design as well as a global movement of practitioners, educators, researchers and organizers, bound by three core ethics: care for the earth, care for the people and care for the future. Permaculture integrates knowledge and practices that draw from many disciplines and links them into solutions to meet human needs while ensuring a resilient future. With little funding or institutional support, this movement has spread over the past 40 years and now represents projects on every inhabited continent.
The permaculture movement offers vital perspectives and tools to address catastrophic climate change.
Human-caused climate change is a crisis of systems – ecosystems and social systems – and must be addressed systemically. No single new technology or blanket solution will solve the problem. Permaculture employs systems thinking, looking at patterns, relationships and flows, linking solutions together into synergistic strategies that work with nature and fit local conditions, terrain, and cultures.
Efforts to address the climate crisis must be rooted in social, economic, and ecological justice. The barriers to solutions are political and social, not technical, and the impacts of climate change fall most heavily on frontline communities, who have done the least to cause it. Indigenous communities hold worldviews and perspectives that are vitally needed to help us come back into balance with the natural world. We must build and repair relationships across cultures and communities on a basis of respect, and the voices, leadership and needs of frontline and indigenous communities must be given prominence in all efforts to address the problem.
Permaculture ethics direct us to create abundance, share it fairly, and limit overconsumption in order to benefit the whole. Healthy, just, truly democratic communities are a potent antidote to climate change.
Both the use of fossil fuels and the mismanagement of land and resources are driving the climate crisis. We must shift from fire to flow: from burning oil, gas, coal and uranium to capturing flows of energy from sun, wind, and water in safe and renewable ways.
Soil is the key to sequestering excess carbon. By restoring the world's degraded soils, we can store carbon as soil fertility, heal degraded land, improve water cycles and quality, and produce healthy food and true abundance. Protection, restoration and regeneration of ecosystems and communities are the keys to both mitigation and adaptation.
Permaculture integrates knowledge, experience, research and practices from many disciplines to restore landscapes and communities on a large scale. These strategies include:
A spectrum of safe, renewable energy technologies.
Scientific research and exchange of knowledge, information and innovations.
Water harvesting, retention and restoration of functional water systems.
Forest conservation, reforestation and sustainable forestry.
Regenerative agricultural practices – organic, no-till and low-till, polycultures, small-scale intensive systems and agroecology.
Planned rotational grazing, grasslands restoration, and silvopasture systems.
Agroforestry, food forests and perennial systems.
Bioremediation and mycoremediation.
Increasing soil organic carbon using biological methods: compost, compost teas, mulch, fungi, worms and beneficial micro-organisms.
Sustainably produced biochar for carbon capture and soil-building.
Protection and restoration of oceanic ecosystems.
Community-based economic models, incorporating strategies such as co-operatives, local currencies, gift economies, and horizontal economic networks.
Relocalization of food systems and economic enterprises to serve communities.
Conservation, energy efficiency, re-use, recycling and full cost accounting.
A shift to healthier, climate-friendly diets.
Demonstration sites, model systems, ecovillages and intentional communities.
Conflict transformation, trauma counseling and personal and spiritual healing.
Transition Towns and other local movements to create community resilience.
None of these tools function alone. Each unique place on earth will require its own mosaic of techniques and practices to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
To deepen our knowledge of these approaches and refine our ability to apply and combine them, we need to fund and support unbiased, independent scientific research.
Each one of us has a unique and vital role to play in meeting this greatest of global challenges. The crisis is grave, but if together we meet it with hope and action, we have the tools we need to create a world that is healthy, balanced, vibrant, just, abundant and beautiful.
Adopted by the General Assembly of the International Permaculture Convergence, London, 2015.
We encourage groups and organizations to sign on to support this statement. If you represent a permaculture organization, please add the name here.

Eurasian Plate North American Plate Eurasian Plate Arabian Plate African Plate South American Plate Pacific Plate Indian Plate Australian Plate Antarctic Plate Nazca Plate Cocos Plate Earth's Crust Earth's outermost layer is the crust. There are two different types of crust. Basaltic oceanic crust pours out from the mantle and is found under the oceans. It is the denser of the two types of crust, but it is also the thinner of the two. The second type of crust is continental crust. The crust moves over the Earth's surface in large pieces called tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are constructed in layers with crust on the top and a piece of the solid upper mantle below. Geologists call this combination of crust and upper mantle the lithosphere. Tectonic Plate Boundaries The three types of plate boundaries - convergent , divergent and transform – are found at the edge of the lithospheric plates and are characterized by their distinct motions. A divergent boundary, or spreading center At this boundary, two plates move away from one another. As the two plates move apart, mid-ocean ridges are created as magma from the mantle rises through a crack in the oceanic crust and cools. New oceanic crust is formed on both sides of the creack in the ocean floor. A convergent boundary or subduction zone At this boundary the plates converge or push into one another. The type of convergence that takes place between plates depends on the kind of lithosphere involved. Convergence can occur between an oceanic and a continental plate, or between two oceanic plates, or between two continental plates. A conservative or transform boundary This boundary is called conservative because plate material is neither created nor destroyed at these boundaries, but rather plates slide past each other horizontally. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in southern California. Tectonic Plates According to the theory of plate tectonics, scientists believe that the Earth's surface is broken into a number of shifting slabs or plates. These plates are in constant motion traveling a few centimeters per year. The edges of these plates, where they move against each other, are sites of intense geologic activity, such as earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building. Major Tectonic Plates 1. Pacific plate 2.

Over the past years, elite theory, with its explorations of the relationship between elite configurations and regime vicissitudes, has made a significant come-back in the world of political science. There is no doubt that the work of John Higley, which has shown that regime types and regime stability may be meaningfully connected to the unity and disunity of elites, and to elite unity being based either on consensus or on ideological conformity, has made a major contribution to this resurgence of interest. Elite theory, however, has paid less attention to the relationship between the political elites and the transformations of the political community. This paper is devoted to an exploration of some aspects of this relationship through an analysis of the process of European integration. This process offers a quasi-experimental environment that can enable a better understanding of the interactions between the construction of a new supranational polity and the complex European system of national and supranational elites. By analyzing the institutional transformation brought about by the Lisbon treaty, the attitudes of national elites toward the European form of government, and the impact of the recent crisis on the European institutions, the article tries to establish the role of elites in the development of a supranational polity, and to ascertain what influence institutional transformations have had on the formation of a genuinely European elite.

Gympie UNICEF Ambassador Indiana Hehir (front, second from right) met with Olivia Newton-John in Canberra this week. Contributed
Gympie UNICEF ambassador meets Aussie pop royalty
by JOSH PRESTON
21st Sep 2019 12:05 AM
THE amount of work she's done over the past 12 months would boggle most minds, but a relaxed local UNICEF ambassador Indiana Hehir says she's just getting started.
Fresh off her time as one of eight Australian UNICEF Young Ambassadors after winning the position in August last year, the Year 12 student spent her final week in the role in Canberra, where she met with politicians such as Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O'Brien and shadow education minister Tanya Plibersek.

The 17-year-old participated in meetings and conversations centred on the most pressing issues according to Aussie youth, taken from direct consultations with thousands of kids aged 3-22.
Fittingly, the biggest and most consistent issue they found was climate change.
"Across every consultation we held, climate change was one that really stood out, it was repeated again and again, and it wasn't just acknowledging climate change, it was children saying 'We're terrified' or 'I'm uncertain about our future'," she said.
"We chose that to be our spotlight issue, especially with the climate strikes ... going on at the moment, we thought it was appropriate to focus on that this year with the ambassador report.
"All eight of us wrote (the report) and we focused on different areas, I think it was a really awesome project where we had control over it from beginning to end, it was our work and our findings."
Indiana said she had been largely encouraged by the conversations in a week during which she also met Aussie pop royalty Olivia Newton-John.

SLC woman recounts crash that destroyed her porch, could've injured her
SALT LAKE CITY -- A Salt Lake City woman awoke to quite a startling sight late Saturday night, after a car engine launched into her home.
She said if the engine had hit her home just a few feet over, she could have been in its way.
The man in that car, police said, is still in the hospital in critical condition. They responded to the crash on 700 East, south of I-80.
A day later, Linda Wiggs and her husband were still reliving what happened just outside their home.
"I heard a big bang, and woke me out of a deep sleep," Wiggs said.
When she went outside to investigate, she said what she saw was, "just a big shock."
There sat the aftermath of the car crash, with parts and pieces strewn about-- including right near her front door.
"I looked out and there was the engine on the side of the porch," she said. "I could kind of smell the smoke coming up."
The engine had barreled right into the cement porch, leaving a gaping hole.
The car, she said, sat crumpled two houses down.
Salt Lake City Police said the driver had been speeding upwards of 100 miles per hour down 700 east when he lost control.
An SLC Police sergeant happened to witness the crash.
"[It] drifted across the median, hit a street sign... and began to just lose control and hit several things on that side of the road," said Lt. Craig Gleason.
Gleason said the evidence sat scattered 200 yards down the street.
While the driver, police said, is now stabilized, he is still in the hospital.
While speed seems an obvious factor in the crash to police, Lt. Gleason said they are still investigating whether alcohol or drugs also played a role.
For the home Linda and her husband live in, she said, "The landlord's going to have to replace the front porch."
But she was grateful for one thing.
"I was downstairs and there's a bedroom window right down there and I'm lucky it didn't go through the bedroom window and me get hurt," she said.

Update: DC Council Passes Paid Family Leave
by Josh Scharff | Dec 22, 2016
We recently reported that Washington, DC had made significant progress towards passing one of the most generous paid family leave laws in the country. Two days ago, DC took an enormous leap forward when the City Council passed the Universal Paid Leave Act by a 9-4 vote.
The final version of the Act contains some changes to the benefits in D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson's draft legislation, which he released in November (that draft reduced the benefits of the original bill authored by Councilmembers David Grosso and Elissa Silverman). The Act now provides eight weeks of paid parental leave, six weeks of paid leave to care for a sick relative, and two weeks for paid personal medical leave. Chairman Mendelson's prior draft provided for eleven weeks of parental leave and eight weeks of caregiver leave, but did not contain any paid personal medical leave. Both full-time and part-time workers remain eligible to receive up to 90 percent of their pay, capped at a maximum benefit of $1,000 per week. Despite a late attempt to change how the benefits would be funded, the law will still impose a 0.62 percent payroll tax on employers in the District.
The veto-proof 9-4 vote of City Council is significant because Mayor Muriel Bowser has announced that she will not sign the legislation. Mayor Bowser continues to voice objections to the bill's cost and application to non-D.C. residents. Despite the Mayor's opposition, and in the absence of Congressional intervention, the bill is headed towards becoming law.

In Cushing Anderson's article, "Impact of Certifications: Do Certifications Matter?" the issue of certifications and their measurable impact on the success of an employee/company is addressed. Cushing states that there is not a measurable way to determine exactly how much certifications matter, because the benefits of certifications are unique to each company's circumstances and needs.

This review is part of The Home Depot #Prospective review program. We are compensated for all of these reviews but we can say what we want to about the tools. We are able to have honesty and openness. .
If you read my review of the 12 V brushless CXT driver/drill you will see that I reallylove subcompact tools. The whole premise of 18v sub compact tools is great! They are actually smaller than most current 12 v tools but have better power and runtime than any you can buy today. The tiny size is a huge advantage in many situations. They are so handy to be able to just slip in your tool bag without a lot of extra weight. They are also great to hang from your belt or pocket without contributing to plumbers crack!
This new 18v XFD11 drill has replaced the CXT 12v drill as my favorite. What's not to like? It is nearly identical in form and function with added power and runtime! The drill body is actually so close to the 12vmax tool that it's hard to tell them apart. Makita decided to build the 18v subcompact tools in black instead of the normal teal we all have come to expect. This not only looks cool, it helps distinguish them from the 12v CXT tools. The other improvement is the 1/2″ chuck which allows you to take advantage of the extra power. It runs at 0-500 rpm on low and 0-1700 on high speed. It has 20 torque settings for accurate driving of different sized fasteners and materials.
The XDT15 impact driver follows the same path in being extremely close to the 12v brushless model in form. The slender handle just feels perfect in the hand. The comfort makes for light work whatever the task. Again, the black color scheme sets it apart. It also deletes the clear plastic nose cone in favor of an exposed metal hammer case. It runs at 0-1300 on low and 0-3000 RPM on high with up to 3900 impacts per minute. This allows very respectable power and speed for such a compact tool. It also offers an assist mode to aid in driving certain types of fasteners like self drilling screws in sheet metal. It allows for more control and less stripping of your fasteners. Some people like it while others do not. In my opinion it's nice to have the option.
I love using these bad boys just about anywhere but one place they really shine is in overhead work. The light weight and compact ergonomic design really reduce fatigue over a long day.
Another place they shine is in cabinet building and installation. Face it. With finish work we don't often need a 1000+ in.Lb. monster. The subcompact drill and impact driver will run about 95% of the bits needed in most situations. The extra small size and weight make them a no brainer to use on hardware and predrilling for fasteners. The slim unobtrusive bodies make pocket hole joinery a snap.
Electrical, plumbing, Hvac installation and repair are also great uses for them. The power is great for driving all sorts of screws. The slender bodies make it much easier to run screws in tight spots where clearance is an issue around ducts, pipe, conduit, wiring, linesets, exhaust vents and myriad other obstacles.
They aren't just for small drill bits and screws. The impact does great on decking screws and self drillers in metal. For lag bolts and timberlock screws I recommend pre drilling or a larger impact driver or an impact wrench. I have run quite a number of holesaws and auger bits with the drill. One of the first things I did when I got my set was to chuck a 1″x 12″ ship auger bit in it and proceeded to hog out a huge pile of shavings from a 6×6 treated post with it just to see if it could. I posted videos on Instagram showing it. I have drilled plenty of holes in cabinets as well with holesaws for water supply and drain lines. It has handled them all very well. I find that it will handle anything I feel confident doing one handed. In other words , if the bit is big enough that feel more comfortable using a side handle for the task, I'll go get a bigger drill with a side handle. Overloading a tool or your wrist is never a good idea. Tools can be replaced. Wrists are harder to come by.
I can't think of a trade that does not stand to benefit from this set of really well designed tools. They truly will do 90-99% of everything we do with cordless drills on the job or in the shop. For those heavier tasks, like large holesaws or lag bolts we have heavier tools available. For the rest of the jobs we do, why carry the extra weight all day every day? Why spin a bigger motor when a smaller one is up to the task? This Makita subcompact brushless kit just makes good sense. It is 100% compatible with the full LXT line. The subcompact line will be growing with some additional tools coming soon. The first I have seen is a gorgeous sds plus rotary hammer. I really look forward to watching this line up grow.
You owe it to yourself to at least try them out. Who knows? Perhaps you will find a new favorite as well.
If you are buying tools anyway try our links to Home Depot. they won't change your price but they will help us continue.
Excellent article review posts. Love the pulsating impact driver drill smoothly drives pins that were difficult with a standard drill. Fantastic drill combo. Small and important. Plus the black looks sweet. Very pleased with this purchase.


How Long Does ACL Tear Surgery Recovery Take?
ACL reconstruction surgery is a common treatment used for athletes who injure their anterior cruciate ligament (the ACL). The ACL is one of four major knee ligaments and is critical in contributing to the stability of the knee joint. Without a functioning ACL, the joint is prone to the sensation of giving out. This instability of the knee makes participation in many sports difficult or impossible. For this reason, many athletes will choose to undergo ACL reconstruction surgery. Following surgery, there is a prolonged and intensive rehabilitation prior to restoring normal knee function, strength, and stability.
Standard ACL rehab takes 7 to 9 months to complete. For many athletes, not only does this mean the end of their athletic season, but it may interfere with their being ready for their next competitive season. But can ACL tear rehab be sped up? How long do you have to wait before returning to sports after ACL surgery?
The media is filled with reports of athletes who make a fast recovery and return to sports sooner than expected. Often you hear of famous athletes who undergo surgery and make a faster return to sports than initially anticipated. Does this mean that you can have a faster recovery after surgery for an ACL tear?
When you have ACL reconstruction, a new ligament is created and held in your knee with screws or other fixation devices. The ACL then has to heal in this position in order to withstand repetitive stresses associated with sports activities. The problem with any type of ACL graft fixation method is that, if repeatedly stressed before the graft has healed in position, the fixation will eventually fail. That means the new ACL graft can become loose or re-torn.
Furthermore, there are other risks of overly accelerated rehabilitation. For example, former NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice famously made a comeback 3 ½ months after undergoing ACL reconstruction in 1997. In his first game back, he fractured his kneecap (where the ACL graft was taken from). This new injury ended his season.
Exactly how long the ACL graft takes to heal sufficiently is open to debate. Furthermore, some sports and activities will place a higher demand on the ACL and more healing may be necessary prior to participation. Most orthopedic physicians agree that a minimum of 6 months is needed before returning to competitive sports. Because of potential risks of reinjury, however, most recommend waiting 7 to 9 months.
You should always discuss returning to sports with your surgeon, as there are variations to standard ACL rehabilitation. Variations in rehabilitation may be due to the type of graft used, any procedures performed along with the reconstruction (such as meniscus repairs or cartilage repairs), or surgeon preference.
Lastly, ACL rehabilitation is not only an issue of time. ACL rehabilitation involves a progression of therapeutic and sport-specific activities. In order to progress from one step of rehabilitation to the next, you must be able to complete certain activities. If a patient is unable to continue progression, overall rehabilitation may be delayed. That is why working with a physical therapist is so important after ACL surgery.
