Hitman 3, review: Less goofy than before, but still murderously satisfying
In the world of stealth games, the Hitman franchise has always been a bit of a black sheep. Far from the self-serious military cool of Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid, Hitman is basically a Looney Toon. In it, you play as the hairless master of disguise known as "Agent 47", as he strangles, poisons, stabs, crushes, electrocutes and otherwise does away with a succession of high-profile targets, across a range of goofy and inventive scenarios....

Silento Accuses the Government of Tracking Him and Says President Trump Messages Him Every Day in Arrest Footage
Aleia Woods Published: November 3, 2020
TMZ via YouTube
Last month, Silento was arrested for driving over 140 MPH in Georgia. Now, the body cam footage recorded by police detailing the incident has surfaced online.
On Monday (Nov. 2), TMZ uploaded the video of the Atlanta rapper being taken into police custody for driving 143 MPH on Oct. 23 just after 4 a.m. in his hometown. Silento, born Richard Lamar Hawk, was charged with speeding, reckless driving, driving on roadways lanes for traffic and parking in a prohibited space. However, during his arrest, Silento had a verbal exchange with officers, in which he says they racially profiled him. He also accused the government of tracking him and claimed that President Donald Trump has been sending him messages regularly seeking his help.
After being informed of his excessive speeding in the clip, Silento told law enforcement that he went above the speed limit because he was coming from a nightclub appearance in Gwinnett County, Ga. and people sometimes follow him. He continued to make a series of interesting claims.
"Let me out," he asserted in the video footage. "I know my laws and I know how the law work 'cause I done been through this so many times with y'all. I said somebody was following me. You can't do that. Ain't no relax. You disrespecting me."
One of the officers speaking with Silento then asked the rapper to stop spitting on him as they spoke. Silento, who denied the accusation made against him, fired back at the police, claiming that the officer actually spat on him because he's Black.
"You did all that racially profiling...I get what you saying, but he know what he did," he continued. "You came up to me being disrespectful talking about some, 'Oh, I'm recording.' So, is you recording with the government? How they use the satellite and they follow everywhere I go? Do you know about that? No, you don't. No, you don't. No, you don't. You don't know about how Donald Trump sends me messages to my phone every day. Asking me to beg him to help him. You don't know about that, do you? No, you don't."
In police reports obtained by XXL on Oct. 25, Silento was driving a 2020 BMW X3 SUV on Georgia's Interstate-85 when he was pulled over for going more than double the 65 MPH speed limit. He was released on his own recognizance later that day.
This isn't the "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" artist's first run-in with the police in recent months. Back in August, he was arrested in Los Angeles for wielding a hatchet into a random family's home while looking for his girlfriend. The following month, a warrant for $105,000 was issued for Silento's arrest due to him missing his court appearance.
Before that, he was taken into custody by the Santa Ana Police Department for a domestic dispute.
In 2019, he appeared on the TV show The Doctors to discuss his battle with depression for 21 years. He admitted on the show that he was born with the drugs weed, cocaine, heroine and pills in his system. The rapper said he witnessed family members talking to walls and try to kill each other. "I have felt like I been depressed my whole life," he said on the show.

I had the privilege of visiting Japan in May so that I could gain an insight into the culture and therefore conceptualise Japan's first wellness retreat. A luxury destination where guests can experience the Japanese approach to longevity and wellbeing, for which they are renowned. Beyond nutrition and movement, which is where we in the West often limit wellness, is the central concept of mindfulness that is inherent in the Japanese arts, and indeed in their very way of being.
The simple, but compelling, act of mindful living offers an invaluable tool to cope with the pace of modern day living. Mindfulness reduces stress, improves sleep, cognitive function and balances the emotions. Here below I share a number of mindfulness practices that stem from Japan to offer a perspective on how meditation can be something other than 'the lotus position'.
ZAZEN - In Zen Buddhism, zazen is a meditative discipline that is typically the primary practice. The precise meaning and method of zazen varies from school to school, but in general it can be regarded as a means of insight into the nature of existence. Zazen is practiced in different ways depending on its tradition. It may involve facing a wall or facing into the centre of the room with eyelids half lowered. It can also include a walking meditation in the room.
JAPANESE TEA CEREMONY - The heart of the Japanese tea ceremony lies in simplicity of spirit which brings peace to the mind. The objective of the ceremony is not just to make a cup of tea; it is a deliberate exercise in being present in the moment, focusing on one task and appreciating the simple things in life. The ritual of the tea ceremony is based on the 4 fundamental Zen principles of harmony, respect, purity and tranquility.
IKEBANA FLOWER ARRANGING - Ikebana or kado is the beautiful, often strikingly minimalist, Japanese flower arrangement art. Ikebana means "giving life to flowers" and kado translates as "the way of flowers". When Buddhism was introduced to Japan, monks started to arrange flowers to decorate the altars of temples.
KOTO LESSON - The koto is the national instrument of Japan. It is a stringed musical instrument that is plucked with ivory picks called tsume.
ORIGAMI - Japanese origami began sometime after Buddhist monks carried paper to Japan during the 6th century. The word "origami" comes from the Japanese language. "Ori" which means folded and "kami" which means paper. This traditional paper folding art is very relaxing and meditative.
JAPANESE INCENSE CEREMONY - Kōdō ( 道?, "Way of Fragrance") is the art of appreciating Japanese incense, and involves using incense within a structure of codified conduct. Kōdō includes all aspects of the incense process, from the tools ( 道具 kōdōgu), to activities such the incense-comparing games kumikō (組 ) and genjikō (源 ). Kōdō is counted as one of the three classical Japanese arts of refinement.
JAPANESE CALLIGRAPHY - Zen calligraphy is practiced by Buddhist monks and most shodō practitioners. To write Zen calligraphy with mastery, one must clear one's mind and let the letters flow out of themselves, not practice and make a tremendous effort. This state of mind is called the mushin (無 ? "no mind state"). For any particular piece of paper, the calligrapher must be fully present and has but one chance to create with the brush.
JAPANESE POTTERY - Learning to use the potter's wheel takes patience, practice, and focus. It is also very relaxing and rewarding. Initially the class will make small bowls, plates or cups before progressing onto other forms. Hand building or sculpture, is another way to work with clay. The basic techniques are easier to learn than wheel throwing and there is a larger range of forms you can make.

Nigeria: A year of Goodluck Jonathan on Facebook
The coming of the Facebook President
Today, the 28th of June 2011, marks a year since President Goodluck Jonathan expanded his media engagement profile by joining Facebook.
Just about 2 weeks into his new-found catharsis that swept aside the mystique of untouchability that the coterie and entourage of helpers usually enshroud important Nigerians with, I wrote a review of this interesting and exciting development for NigeriansTalk titled Nigeria: Goodluck Jonathan on Facebook
In 11 days he had garnered 100,335 Facebook likes generating thousands of likes per status and just as many comments too.
Staggering numbers
In a year of Facebook social networking President Jonathan has published many Facebook statuses and Facebook notes, acknowledging contributions in his speeches, announcing personal and policy decisions using this as a platform that he apparently controls outside the strictures of officialdom and stifling protocol.
In the numbers game, Goodluck Jonathan has posted 317 actionable statuses, notes or posts up to the 24th of June 2011, his fans have commented on 255 of the posts and accumulated 576,535 in all, the highest number of comments being posted on the 25th of November 2010 where he expressed his loyalty thus:
I was loyal to my leader, the late great President Umaru Yar'adua. I am loyal to Nigeria, I don't claim to represent North, South or a Committee-I represent Nigeria. I am loyal to Nigeria's economy, I don't have accounts or property abroad, ALL my children live and school in Nigeria. I am loyal to my wife and friends. Can those who accuse me say the same? GEJ - 25 November 2010 at 17:06
10,206 people like this and view all 10,386 comments.
That was a very embracing statement that called for the unity of purpose in the entity called Nigeria and the identity Nigerian, it was a point quite well made and should be the gauntlet thrown down to those who snipe and carp at his every move.
It also defined him as a unique public figure Nigerian worthy of the emulation in the virtue of loyalty and pride in being Nigerian.
Getting engaged
One can see how Facebook has become part of the engagement strategy of the president when he said on 03 July 2010 at 08:11 I want to assure you that your feedback and comments on this page are important.
There was a stab at one of the Nigerian infrastructure problems – roads with this on 15 July 2010 at 09:06 "I've read your comments about the state of our roads particularly the Lagos-Benin, Abuja-Kaduna, Onitsha-Enugwu and Yola-Maiduguri roads. I've directed the Minister of Works to speed up repair works and report progress to me. I will not be satisfied with rhetorics (sic) and I will travel on Federal roads myself to see that Progress has been made. Loss of lives and man hours on our roads is just unacceptable and there must be progress. Under my leadership governmental activity must lead to practical results for the people not just on paper." GEJ
From the AU Summit on 26 July 2010 at 08:23, he said of Nigeria's role in Africa – "I am at the AU summit and from my meetings with African leaders at the political, business and social levels; it is reaffirmed to me that so many in Africa look up to Nigeria for leadership. And we must provide this leadership. We've no choice. Team Nigeria, of which we all belong, serves as a beacon that lights the way for our African brothers. The only way the rest of Africa will listen to Nigeria when she promotes African unity and brotherhood is if we lead by example."
Elections, women and the youth
On 06 August 2010 at 06:58 as he forwarded a Supplementary Budget Bill to the National Assembly to cater for the funds requested by The INEC through its Chairman for the body to perform its duties, he suggested that "If on June 12 1993, Nigeria could conduct credible elections, there is absolutely no reason why we cannot conduct an even better election 18 years after."
As to engaging more women in politics, he said, "To demonstrate my belief that women are equal stakeholders in Nigeria as men, I recently appointed Prof Precious Kassey Garba as the first female Chief Economic Adviser to the President in Nigerian history. I hope this appointment as well as the performance of the Falconets at the recently concluded Female U-20 World Cup in Germany would spur women to enter the political arena and run for elective offices in 2011." GEJ on 23 August 2010 at 08:07.
Soon afterwards, he had a message to the youth too, which he relayed on 25 August 2010 at 07:55, saying, "When we say that the youths are leaders of tomorrow we are really in fact limiting them and fail to do them justice. The human being is in his/her prime physically and mentally during the period of life we all love to describe as youth. And so rather than say the youths are leaders of tomorrow, I am more comfortable in saying that they are leaders of today and tomorrow."
He went on to give examples of past leaders in their 30s who had lead Nigeria through tumultuous times.
Observations and intentions
With the security lapses and problems we have had recently, there are many who would seek the real action behind these words, "My fellow Nigerians, as I have said on this page and in public several times, the life of every Nigerian is the greatest of value to me. Your security is of utmost importance. The oath I swore to on the day I took office as President compels me to do what is proper in the interest of our country and citizens, therefore, I will use every constitutional power I have to protect the well-being of Nigerians and the Nigerian nation." 10 September 2010 at 16:34
On the 15 September 2010 at 11:00 He posted the "Declaration of Intent For The 2011 Presidential Race." On the 50th Anniversary of Nigeria's independence he addressed the nation in a speech titled Building on the Foundations of Unity and Progress posted 01 October 2010 at 15:15 then touched on the matter of the Abuja bombings on 04 October 2010 at 11:00.
The pervasive world of the reality television genre did not escape the notice of the president as he sent congratulations on 18 October 2010 at 21:00 to Nigerian, Uti Nwachukwu who had won the 2010 edition of Big Brother Africa All Stars in South Africa.
Technology and polls
Advancements in technology usage as Total Radar Coverage of the Nigerian Airspace Project (TRACON) reported on 22 October 2010 at 16:57 made for hearty news about Nigeria not being left behind.
Typical of people who have engaged in the social networking space, the president launched a poll on 23 November 2010 at 23:55 to identify issues of concern to Nigerians, listing the following topics and off the 5,277 votes the distribution was.
1.: North/South dichotomy – 2%
2.: Corruption – 41%
3.: Power – 38%
4.: Insecurity – 7%
5.: Over dependence on oil – 5%
6.: Ethnic/Religious tensions/Indigene/Settler dichotomy – 4%
7.: Some other problem – 4%
Many of these issues had appeared in exchanges with the president over his Facebook engagement.
A commitment to educational development came on 22 December 2010 at 08:43 with a budget allocation to education three times that of defence.
When he was nominated as the presidential flag-bearer for the ruling party on 14 January at 18:19 he gave an address accepting the honour.
Knowing his Facebook onions
Into the New Year, the president was fully engaged in the electioneering process, the voter registrations, the campaign trail in which encountered tragedies, the elections, the signing of crucial bills and the Freedom of Information Act, his inauguration and the addressing of contemporary issues at home and abroad.
The President cannot be said to be digitally naïve, rather, either through his direct activities or those of his staff working in his stead, he seems to have a finger on the pulse of the nation and so it begs the question as what actions he is taking to address the matters that concern Nigerians all as we all expect him to perform well with the responsibility bestowed on him.
President Goodluck Jonathan does appear to have a really large and engaged following, far of the frivolities of the celebrity and deep in the seriousness of government and that can change Nigeria for the better.
With the volume of data that he receives none of which I have attempted to review for the simple reason that Nigerians have not mastered the art of brevity, concision and the precise in getting to the point, I would suppose there are other eyes filtering the content and bringing the useful insights, ideas and inspiration to the President who occasionally mentions by name the contributors and commends the usefulness of their ideas.
As another year is tagged onto this Presidential Facebook odyssey, I doubt the volume of traffic will reduce, but for the many of us already overwhelmed with traffic from those we do know and engage with, this Facebook profile might just have the cursory glance and maybe subscribe via the RSS feed and that is just about enough.
One can however safely say, President Goodluck Jonathan is your quintessential Facebook savvy politician, very few others carry the kind of profile he has and maybe that is a good thing for representative and accountable government in Nigeria starting with the man at the helm.

Many ICU patients trade critical illness for new illness, ICU-acquired weakness
Posted by blexy on April 8, 2016 5:24 pm
A growing number of patients are being discharged from intensive care units, cured of the critical illness that put them there but facing a new and potentially debilitating condition — ICU-acquired weakness.
Intensive care patients are known to lose muscle mass and function for many reasons, ranging from prolonged immobilization, to the effects of ICU treatments such as mechanical ventilation to the critical illness itself.
While the mechanisms of muscle atrophy (loss) and function during an ICU stay have been studied well, little research has been conducted into the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for recovering muscle strength over the long-term.
A new study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that some patients who continue to suffer from weakness six months after they were discharged from the ICU, demonstrate persistent muscle wasting, even when the biologic functions that commonly cause muscles to atrophy have returned to normal such as inflammation or the breakdown of proteins in muscle tissue.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that reconstitution of muscle size, normalizes strength; patients who managed to regrow muscle remained weak. In some cases, this muscle weakness causes profound disability and reduced quality of life, and can last a lifetime, said the study's lead author, Dr. Jane Batt, a respirologist at St. Michael's Hospital.
"We know ICU patients lose muscle mass and function. Critical illness literally causes their muscles to dissolve," said Dr. Batt, a scientist in the hospital's Keenan Research Centre for Biomedical Science. "Some people grow it back and some don't. Some people can regrow the muscle, but it doesn't function properly."
Dr. Batt said the novel finding of her study was that sustained muscle atrophy in the long term is the result of impaired regrowth and is associated with a decrease in the number of satellite cells, the precursors to muscle cells.
"While satellite cells are not required for existing muscle fibres to grow in size, they are essential for the regeneration of injured muscle," she said. Decreased number of satellite cells also contribute to age-related muscle loss, she noted.
"Critical illness appears to permanently change muscle biology so your regenerative capacity seems to be lost," she said.
Dr. Batt said ICU-acquired weakness can be a profound disability.
"You may not be able to bathe yourself, feed yourself, go to the toilet yourself, dress yourself," she said. "This can be a very difficult life to live."
Dr. Batt's study looked at critically ill patients who had spent at least one week on a ventilator in an ICU. The study is the first phase of the MEND ICU research program, spearheaded by Dr. Batt and Dr. Claudia dos Santos, an intensivist at St. Michael's. It is part of the RECOVER program, a multi-centre study that evaluates patient and caregiver outcomes after prolonged mechanical ventilation with a goal of developing a family-centred rehabilitation program after severe critical illness.
The number of patients in the study was small, Dr Batt acknowledged. She said this reflected the difficulty in completing long-term mechanistic studies with people who experience critical illness, as many of those who wanted to take part in the study, died, had to return to the ICU, or developed other serious medical problems necessitating treatment that precluded safe continuation in the study.
A companion study was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in March by the RECOVER program lead, Dr. Margaret Herridge of Toronto General Hospital. That study found that critically ill patients who spend more than one week on ventilation can be divided into four risk groups and that the degree of disability seven days after discharge will determine the one-year mortality and recovery trajectory, including ICU and hospital readmission. The older the patient, the worse the disability, this study found, although the first risk group was patients in their early 40s.


He was a great guy who rescued a bunch of cats that other people discarded at Monmouth Racetrack. I am forever grateful to that man and now, I'm so excited to find a loving forever home with people to love and call my very own. I'm a mellow and easygoing guy. I'm about 11 years young.
I would make a very nice TV-watching companion (and I'll watch whatever you want to watch, too)!!! If you take a look at my left eye, you'll see that it's a little funky looking. It doesn't bother me, though, so it doesn't need any special treatment or anything like that. The only special treatment I need is to be loved by you forever!!!!


The distinction of historic stints with seminal hard rock acts Deep Purple AND Black Sabbath only begins to describe Glenn Hughes' six decades in the blues-rock maelstrom. Both as a notoriously hard-living singer and bass guitarist of rare invention, the UK rock legend has recorded with artists as diverse as Gary Moore and the KLF, and held his corner of virtuosic supergroup Black Country Communion with Joe Bonamassa and Jason Bonham since 2009.
Last year saw the release of his 14th solo album, "Resonate".
He was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame along with his old Deep Purple band members. His autobiography, "Scenes From the Life of a Rock'n'Roll Star", contains a foreword by Metallica's Lars Ulrich.
Now, for the first time in 40 years, Glenn is touring Australia and New Zealand performing an all new show featuring classic Deep Purple songs from start to finish.
Stormbringer, Burn, Mistreated, Smoke On The Water and Highway Star, revitalised to keep even the most diehard Deep Purple and heavy rock fans rocking out for years to come.
Glenn Hughes, The Voice of Rock, returns with a vengeance. Rock on!

The territory has barely featured in the endgame deal discussions, but it is about to move to the centre stage, says Marius S. Ostrowski.
The latest talks aimed at breaking the Brexit deadlock over the Northern Ireland backstop have failed to achieve a breakthrough, the European Commission has said.
An anti-Brexit campaign group in Northern Ireland have unveiled a new billboard at Stormont announcing a protest to take place at the Irish border.
A no-deal Brexit using WTO rules would be disastrous and Brexiteers claiming otherwise are engaging in make-believe, writes ANDREW ADONIS.
Theresa May's speech in Northern Ireland suffered from a failure in technology as she tried to argue for new technical solutions on the Irish border.
Theresa May will visit Northern Ireland to deliver a speech that will attempt to reassure the people there that she "will find a way to deliver Brexit" that honours commitments including avoiding a hard border with Ireland.
Former Northern Ireland first minister Lord Trimble is threatening to take the government to court over the controversial Brexit backstop.
Theresa May is likely lose the next big Commons vote. ANDREW ADONIS believes a People's Vote remains the most likely outcome.
Representatives from Northern Ireland's business, farming, trade union, community and voluntary sectors are travelling to Westminster to urge MPs to avoid a no-deal Brexit.
Mock soldiers returned to the Irish border as protesters warned Theresa May not to allow the "nightmare" situation of Brexit to derail Northern Ireland's hard-won peace.
Readers will know ANDREW ADONIS is not one for giving Theresa May praise but on this occasion he has.
Andrew Adonis explains how the prime minister lost touch with reality.


The president's daughter and son-in-law aren't expected to speak in any formal capacity at the gathering.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are headed to Sun Valley, Idaho, to hobnob with many of the moguls who run the media companies that President Donald Trump says have been so hostile to him.
Attendees at this year's very exclusive Allen & Co. summit, which started Tuesday and runs through Thursday, were expected to mix business with politics, but with members of the first family in attendance, the latter could take center stage.
The president's daughter and son-in-law aren't expected to speak in any formal capacity at the gathering, just mingle with the other guests, who include CBS chief executive Les Moonves and Time Warner CEO Jeffrey Bewkes. They are expected to pay for their own travel and accommodation expenses.
If the pair run into Bewkes, it could lead to an especially interesting conversation, given President Trump has engaged in a feud with CNN, which is owned by Time Warner. Also, Trump isn't thrilled with the idea of Time Warner merging with AT&T, an $85 billion deal that still needs regulatory approval.
The pair's visit to Sun Valley also coincides with Ivanka's brother, Donald Jr., dominating the news cycle at CNN and elsewhere after he acknowledged meeting with a Russian attorney claiming she had damaging information about Hillary Clinton last summer during the presidential campaign.
The annual Allen & Co. Sun Valley Conference is off-the-record, but journalists are often seen hanging around the private venue, snapping photos and hoping for an on-the-record interview with an attendee who can tell them what's afoot behind the gates.
This year's guests also include Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Viacom CEO Bob Bakish and Rupert, James and Lachlan Murdoch of 21st Century Fox. Inside, the attendees will hear speeches and panel discussions about business, politics and technology, and they will spend their recreational time whitewater rafting, golfing, bicycling and more.
Allen & Co. is a private investment firm founded in 1922 and located in New York and London. Some of its current and former clients include Google, Facebook, Time Warner, AOL, Verizon and Activision Blizzard.

SuperSport United veteran Reneilwe Letsholonyane concedes that their season has been underwhelming.
Since his arrival at the Tshwane club in 2016, Letsholonyane has been accustomed to winning trophies.
In his first season, the club clinched the Nedbank Cup and followed that up with the MTN8 title last season.
He was also involved in their inspiring run in the CAF Confederation Cup where they lost in the final.
"Definitely it's a bad season because every season we have been reaching a final and winning a trophy," he said.
"This season we haven't won anything, we missed out on all the cups.
"Now what is left is the league and we are obviously fighting to compete."
Matsatsantsa a Pitori play Orlando Pirates at the Mbombela Stadium tonight (7.30pm).
6-1 hammering Bucs suffered in 2016.
Earlier this season, the Buccaneers secured the bragging rights with a 3-1 victory in the league.
Yeye, as the 36-year-old is affectionately known, says past results count for nothing at this point. "That 6-1 is water under the bridge. We have played them a few times after that, so we don't even think about it.
"We're focusing on what's happening now and are not thinking about what happened a few years ago."
With SuperSport sixth in the title race with 29 points, their aim is to finish as high as possible in the table.
"In our remaining games we have a challenge to finish as high as we can in the league. The target is to be in the top-four," he explained.
"[In] other seasons the aim was to win a cup and finish within the top eight, but now we want to challenge and be in the top four."

If you have ever participated in an ergonomic evaluation without knee protection pants, then you already know that ergonomists are highly concerned with the angles of joints, hips, elbows, knees, etc. Why? Because delivering oxygen to the muscles allows them to operate at their peak performance. Some Orthopedists are starting to connect the dots to dry tendons or tears in tendons to the use of knee pads.
How do you know if the knee pads aren't working? Simple, just look at their ankles. When workers start their day, they typically don their knee pad. But after a few hours on the job, the knee pads are protecting their ankle. They become so uncomfortable that workers move the pads down the leg because they don't want to carry them in their pockets. That's not the case with our carpenter and landscaping pants.
So, what's the alternative? Why is this beneficial? The first benefit is that the pads are always in the right place, protecting the knee. Secondarily, the knee pad doesn't have to rely on straps or elastic to stay in place. The pad is held in place by a pocket that is designed into the knee protection pants. This allows free movement of the leg in the pants without creating pinching, sweating, or another discomfort. Most importantly there is no lost circulation due to the knee pad, which eliminates the potential for dried out tendons.
Try a pair of ZKARZ landscaping pants and feel the difference, know the difference and outlast the difference ( Pruebe con un par de ZKARZ y sentir la diferencia , conocer la diferencia y durar mas que la diferencia ).
Knee Injury Could this be you?
Twenty years ago, while working as a carpenter, Chris suddenly developed knee pain. Although he went to the doctor, he didn't think it was serious enough for the arthroscopic surgery the doctor ordered. Several years later, the pain returned. This time the doctor's visit revealed a tear in his meniscus, which had apparently been there all along. Chris finally had surgery to repair the tear, but a complication left him in worse pain than before. This led to total knee replacement, and although he's now pain-free, he has lost range of motion. Chris offers advice to his fellow construction workers: "Don't be the macho man; get your injuries treated timely and avoid complications later." How could an injury impact your home life? Lower income, chronic knee pain, loss of career, reduced cash flow, and loss of quality time with family what puts you at risk. Tasks that involve frequent stooping, kneeling, or squatting puts your knees at risk for injury. The knee is made up of muscles that move the knee joints, tendons and ligaments that provide stability, cartilage to absorb shock, and the bursa, a small sac of fluid under the kneecap that lubricates your knee, so it moves easily. All of these are susceptible to injury through excessive wear and tear or continual stress, but our knee protection pants can help. This includes activities that stress your knee, such as kneeling or squatting for long periods of time, Repetitive kneeling, or squatting. Contact stress is Kneeling and squatting: Overstretches the ligaments and squeezes the bursa. Excessive kneeling or squatting can cause irritation, inflammation, and pain. If the ligaments in your knee become too unstable, your knee may give out when you pivot your foot to turn and walk.
It's possible you can safely propose to your loved one on bended knees without wearing knee pads. But if your occupation or home improvement project brings you to your knees for prolonged periods, knee pads definitely need to be a part of your Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) kitas essential to protecting your well-being as safety glasses, puncture-proof gloves, back braces, or other safety devices. Our strapless knee pads make all the difference.
Significantly, if not surprisingly, workers in occupations that require prolonged periods on their knees have the highest incidence of a traumatic knee injury, which is why we suggest knee protection pants. Take carpet lying, for example. According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), carpet layers comprise .06% of the workforce but account for 6.2% of all workman's compensation claims for a traumatic knee injury. Carpet layers win the dubious honor of being the most prone to knee injury because, in addition to kneeling on hard surfaces, they also use a knee kicker to stretch carpet. The next most likely occupation to cause knee injury is tile setting, followed by floor laying, followed closely by a variety of other on-your-knees jobs. Having the right landscaping pants can make all the difference.
When you kneel, the majority of your body weight concentrates on your knees, which are protected by a thin layer of cartilage and tissue called the meniscus and the patella, or kneecap (see illustration). The menisci cushion the knee joints and allow pain-free movement. Normal activity over a lifetime eventually wears them down. Without some kind of protection, prolonged kneeling, exacerbated by "walking" on your knees, hastens the damage and can tear the meniscus cartilage. The kneecap, only 2 inches around and 1 1/4 inch thick, and the surrounding tissue that keeps it floating in front of the joints can also be injured. Our knee protection pants make sure you aren't constantly changing the way you work.
- Bursitis, which is the inflammation of small fluid sacs that cushion and lubricate the knee.
- Tendinitis or tendinosis, caused by inflammation of or small tears to tendons.
- Pica syndrome, when knee ligaments become thickened or unnaturally folded.
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome, indicated by pain in the front of the knee related to the kneecap.
- Tears of the meniscus, the rubbery cushions that protect the knee joints.
In some cases healing requires resting your knees, giving them a break from the pressure of kneeling. Some injuries, such as a torn meniscus, may require surgery.
The benefits anyone can receive from knee padded trousers is truly unmeasurable and truly can be used by anyone even doctors and nurses, babies and kids (Our knee padded pants system can be attached to any pant garment).

Cafe Bustelo — mary g.
Cafe Bustelo is a bold and energetic coffee brand looking to stand out from the clutter in the retail environment. With expanded distribution for two of their products, Instant Coffee Sticks and Bustelo Cools, it was important to design in-store displays that provided product education while also portraying the energy and vibrance of the brand.
The concept for this design came from the product packaging, which features a pattern reminiscent of traditional Mexican Talavera tiles. On the side panels the pattern is knocked out in the brand's blue, and the icons that make up the pattern were brought front-and-center on the header, to convey that each Instant Stick contains coffee, sweetener and flavor.
To showcase the frosty nature of Bustelo Cools, an abstract geometric ice emanates from the cans, contrasting with the sunny yellow background.


Hello- I wanted to get some of your expert opinions at this, before I proceed.
I have about 310k in student loan debt. I have no other debt aside from about 5k in credit card on a 20k limit card, so 25% usage on the credit card. I have all of my student loans deferred until 2015 ( i need to renew it each year, but i am able to do this until 2015). My fico score is 795.
i own my own house that is registered in my own name ( recently bought in October a foreclosure for 20k cash).
I have an LLC, which I also own outright A- a single family house(rented), B- two duplexes ( total of 4 living units)( vacant- need some repairs), and C- 8-unit apartment building( fully rented), D- a small 1 bedroom house that needs extensive repair/rehab. All these properties are in the LLC name.
I am self employed. The apartment building is fully occupied bringing me about 3k rent a month- only bought this buillding last summer and rented since about september. One of the houses is rented for $550. The others are vacant because I recently bought them in the past 4 months, they need some work before I rent, but not too much.
I have no payments, I own my car outright, own my house outright. Own all the rental properties mentioned above outright.I am seeking a 4 unit building to buy, with the intention of living in 1 unit, and renting the other 3. It is almost like a condo, but still considered an apartment.
Should I seek a FHA backed loan, or conventional? Which is easier to qualify for - I am concerned about being self employed. My problem is that I am self employed, and in 2010 I traveled the world so I had zero income. I have not filed my tax for 2011 yet. I have never seeked a loan for a house before, i paid cash for everything. My only concern is if they go back 2 yrs for my taxes, they will see in 2010 I made no money (due to traveling 10 months of that year). I did not make that much in 2011 either, maybe only 30k, but I am wondering if I should file my taxes and show more. I will have to pay much more in taxes for money I did not make, but if that is something I HAVE to do to get a loan, I guess I will. In 2009, I made a pretty good amount of money so I am still riding off of that $ and investing it.
I like FHA bc it is low down payment. Are there also loans with similar interest rates that I can get with a low down payment? I do not want to put 20% down. The property I am looking it is around $350k range. It is 4 units, and each unit rents for $1050. So the new rental $$ will more than pay my mortgage. When I seek a loan, will they look at this income to figure out my percentages?
My credit is perfect, its just those damn student loans that are out of control. ( I failed out of a private healthcare school btw if anyone is wondering). Thank you.
You never mentioned how much money you will take home after all the bills are paid. The fact that it rents for $3k month is unimportant. What you take home after paying your bills is.
You may have to start paying yourself in order to get a loan. No one will give you a 350k loan with no income.
Lenders no longer like to give loans to people that appear to be using student loan funds to buy property.
that reduces the payments you qualify for.
Seems to me you have a house loan...$300K!!!!????
When my properties are fixed and rented ( should be by May 2012), I will bring home 7k a month in rent, plus I make about 2k a month in ebay/online sales I do on the side.
Currently, as of today I make $3500 a month in rental income plus about $2k.
If I am able to buy the place I have in mind, it will add $3k more in rental income to total $10k monthly rental income, plus the 2k from online ebay stuff. If I get the place I want to get a loan on, I think the mortgage will be about $2k a month.
I haven't used a penny of student loans to buy any rental property. I failed out of dental school @ NYU. The cost of that is $90k/yr.( That was the average amount that most students took out per year, for four years) I failed out in yr #3. So that was about $270k from that, plus I had minimal 10-15 k from undergrad. With all the interest, I think its up to around $310k right now. Half are private loans with citibank, half are government loans. As mentioned in original post, All of these loans are in forbearance til 2015.
I have bought all my properties up until now with ebay sales profits.
My taxes show I made 100k in 2009. I show $0 for 2010( bc I traveled most of the year). For 2011 I have not filed, I am debated how much I should declare that I made if it makes a difference with this. I probably made about $55k in 2011, but I am considering marking down that I make more like 80-90k. I will have to write a bigger check when I do my taxes, but I guess it is worth it if I can get a mortgage. I guess I should check with the owner of the place, if they will finance me I can bring my credit FICO score over 800 by paying off one of my credit cards.
I have never paid a late bill in my life, and this 4 unit building will pay for the mortgage and leave me with minimum $500 a month, not to mention I will live in one unit for free. So even if the **** hits the fan, I would always be getting 3k a month from this building, and 3k a month from my apartment building. ( I also have 3 more rental houses, and 2 duplexes all of which are paid for in cash, no payments besides taxes on those places) No other payments I need to make, I own a $50k car outright with no loan.
If need be, to get a mortgage will they let me use my existing properties as collateral? I just dont see any downside of buying this building I am seeking, i will live for free in a 3 bed 2.5 bath condo type apartment. rents will pay for mortgage and taxes and leave me with $500 a month which will be used for my utilities etc.
Thank you all for your input and anyone else feel free to chime in. I have no experience with loans ( Except student loans LOL- those I knew nothing about and never in the world would I have thought I would fail out for failing one pharmacology class).
No house loan, failed attempt at being a dentist. Depressed me for many years, but now I am over it and moved on. I live in the midwest where living costs are low, soon I will have $10k a month in rental incomes, and I am 30 years old without a wife or any kids.
I forgot to mention in my original post, I have around $50k cash on hand. But I am conservative so I dont like to spread myself thin, I like to prepare for the worst and keep a large amount in reserves just in case.
I wouldnt want to put more than $20k down in any case I dont think.
The details are all over the place. You need to sit down with a mortgage broker, go over your details with him and he will give you options.
there would have to be proof of that income over a significant period of years. Most E-Bay-ers don't report the income, and if it's not on your tax records they will not consider it.
Dude... you may have deferred those student loans but you need to do everything you can to eliminate. Get out of debt.
