The rotator cuff is made up of a group of four muscles and their corresponding tendons, which are connected to the scapula (shoulder blade) and the top of the humerus (upper arm bone). The tendons run underneath the acromion, a bony protrusion at the top of the shoulder blade which curves over the rounded head at the top of the humerus to meet the clavicle (collarbone).
What is the function of the rotator cuff?
The rotator cuff helps to lift and rotate the arm, and aids in stabilization of the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff is active in everyday activities we often take for granted, such as brushing our hair.
A rotator cuff tear occurs when any of the tendons which make up the rotator cuff detach and retract from the bone at the top of the humerus. The tear can incorporate more than one of the tendons or a single tendon. Rotator cuff tears can either be acute or chronic.
What is the difference between acute and chronic rotator cuff tears?
A rotator cuff tear is usually classed as acute if the injury happened suddenly, and chronic if the tear has developed over a long period of time.
What are the main causes of acute and chronic rotator cuff tears?
Acute rotator cuff tears can be caused by a sudden excessive strain or trauma on your shoulder. Such strain or trauma could be caused by lifting something heavy above your head, or by falling directly onto your shoulder.
Acute rotator cuff tears can often happen at the same time as another injury, such as a fracture or dislocation of the shoulder.
Chronic rotator cuff tears are injuries which have developed over a long period of time, and are more common than acute tears.
Chronic rotator cuff tears are generally prevalent in people over 60 years of age, and one of the most common causes is simply the degeneration, or wearing out, of the tendons due to age. Poor blood supply to the tendons, or the rubbing of the tendons against the bone of the acromion over a long period of time can also contribute to degeneration.
Some other causes include overuse of the rotator cuff over a long period of time, for example in activities which involve repeatedly raising your arm over your head. This could be in certain occupations such as painting/decorating, or in sports such as swimming, tennis, kayaking or cricket.
Certain lifestyle issues such as smoking can also increase the likelihood of a tear, as tobacco and nicotine have been linked to poor blood supply as well as poor wound healing after surgery.
Conservative, or non-surgical treatment, generally takes the form of gentle physiotherapy to strengthen and stabilize the muscles of the damaged rotator cuff. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (known as NSAIDs) may be prescribed to help relieve pain.
As rotator cuff tears are most common in people over 60, who generally tend to be less active, conservative treatment is often offered before surgical treatment. In some cases, for example where the patient does have a particularly active lifestyle, or where previous conservative treatment has failed, surgical treatment may be preferable.
Although ultrasound or MRI scans of the rotator cuff tear may be performed prior to surgery the full extent of damage, including muscle and tissue quality, can only be properly established upon arthroscopic inspection of the shoulder in the operating theatre. To do this, the surgeon will make a series of very small "stab" incisions in the shoulder and insert a telescopic camera on the end of a long thin tube, which is known as an arthroscope. If the tear is relatively small and the tissue is of good quality it can usually be repaired arthroscopically, without the need for any further incisions. However if the tear is large or the tissue has undergone degeneration the surgeon may need to make a larger incision and perform "open" surgery.
Although small and medium tears (less than 3 cm in diameter) can usually be repaired effectively using standard surgical techniques, some of which are listed below, large and massive tears are not always fully repairable. Incomplete repairs, where it has not been possible to fully reattach the tendon to the bone, are at high risk of re-tearing.
For more information about typical surgical techniques for different sized rotator cuff tears, please see below.
Sutures are thin sterile threads, commonly made from silk or polymer materials, which are used to reattach the tendon to the bone from which it detached. They can be used in conjunction with suture anchors which, as their name suggests, are designed to anchor the sutures in place. The anchors incorporate a small hole or eyelet through which the suture thread is passed, and typically have a screw or rawlbolt fastening which allows them to be fixed to the bone. The suture threads are then knotted to secure the repair.
Sutures and anchors are generally used for small or medium rotator cuff tears. Clinical results when used for large and massive tears are not good. If the tissue has undergone degeneration and is weakened the sutures, which are strong but thin, may be at risk of cutting through the tissue like cheese wire and jeopardising the repair. Some suture threads can also be quite slippery, so may need to be secured with more than one knot. Knots which are large or stacked may also be at risk of irritating or cutting through the soft tissue.
Patches are designed for use in conjunction with other surgical techniques such as sutures and suture anchors, to add additional reinforcement to the repair. They are particularly beneficial in cases where it is not possible to repair the rotator cuff fully and a gap still remains after surgery, or in cases where the tendon has been reattached to the bone but the quality of the tissue is not good. The rotator cuff is repaired as far as possible using sutures and then the patch is applied over the top and sutured in place; rather like sewing on a patch to reinforce the knees in a pair of jeans.
Depending on the circumstances, some patches may be implanted arthroscopically (using long, thin surgical instruments through very small stab incisions), while others may require an additional incision to be made for an open approach.
Allograft patches, which are made from human tissue and are taken from a donor.
Xenograft patches, which are made from animal tissue. The most common xenograft material is porcine tissue (from a pig).
Synthetic patches, which can be made from a range of synthetic materials. Neoligaments' Leeds-Kuff Patch is made from polyester. Please see below for more details on this particular device, including its specific benefits and how it is implanted.
Some patches, particularly allograft and xenograft patches, need to be soaked or defrosted prior to surgery. As the full extent of damage to the rotator cuff is only established in the operating room, this can potentially make them quite an expensive option, as once they have been soaked or defrosted they must either be used immediately or disposed of. If it turns out a patch is not appropriate for the rotator cuff repair, the allograft or xenograft patch must still be paid for.
There is also a risk that the allograft or xenograft tissue may be rejected by the patient's body.
In cases where the rotator cuff tear is too large or the tissue is too far degenerated to secure it back to the bone from which it detached, a tendon transfer may be performed. This procedure involves partially detaching a tendon from another part of the shoulder, and "rerouting" it from its original position so that it bridges the gap between the torn rotator cuff and the bone.
This is a complicated procedure which cannot be performed arthroscopically and requires a large incision. The patient may also experience weakness or loss of function (donor site morbidity) in the area from which the transferred tendon was detached. This is because the tendon tissue suffers necrosis (tissue death) when it is detached, which causes it to lose strength. Some strength is gradually regained after the operation, but this can mean a longer recovery time. Tendon transfer is often only considered if it is not possible to repair the rotator cuff by any other means.
An alternative to tendon transfer for the repair of a large or massive rotator cuff tear is the use of synthetic ligaments to bridge the gap between the tendon and the bone instead of a re-routed tendon from another part of the shoulder. With a synthetic ligament the risk of donor site morbidity, necrosis, and associated weakness is eliminated, which may reduce the recovery time. There are a range of different synthetic ligaments available, each with different properties and surgical techniques. Please see below for details of Neoligaments' Rota-Lok, which has been designed specifically for repair of massive rotator cuff tears.
The Leeds-Kuff Patch has been designed specifically for reinforcement of the rotator cuff following repair by sutures and suture anchors, in cases where it is not possible to completely repair the tear, or the quality of the soft tissue is poor. It is made from polyester, a biocompatible material which has been in use for the reconstruction of ligaments and tendons for more than 25 years.
As the Leeds-Kuff Patch is made from a synthetic material there are none of the risks or potential drawbacks associated with allograft or xenograft materials, which can include donor tissue quality.
The knitted construction of the patch provides a scaffold which encourages new tissue to grow through and strengthen the repair.
The Leeds-Kuff Patch has been designed with integral reinforcements around its perimeter and across its width, which improve the stability of the repair by reducing tension on the sutures, and thus reducing the likelihood of them pulling through the soft tissue of the rotator cuff.
The coloured perimeter also ensures correct placement of the sutures to gain maximum strength and stability.
The Leeds-Kuff Patch comes sterile and ready to use and there is no need to soak or defrost the device prior to the procedure, which makes it convenient and cost effective in comparison to some other patches.
The shoulder is evaluated arthroscopically to determine the full extent and size of the tear. If the tear is small and the tissue healthy, it is repaired arthroscopically using appropriate sutures and suture anchors. If the tear cannot be completely repaired using normal methods or the quality of the tissue is poor, the repair is reinforced with the Leeds-Kuff Patch as outlined below.
A small incision is made and the rotator cuff is repaired as far as possible with sutures and anchors.
The Leeds-Kuff Patch is placed over the repair and secured using sutures, which are passed both through the rotator cuff tissue and the bone at the top of the humerus.
Once the Leeds-Kuff Patch is in place, the incision is closed using sutures.
The rehabilitation programme described below should be supervised by a specialist physiotherapist. All exercises should be performed within the pain free range of movement, and prescribed activity levels should not be exceeded before complete healing has occurred.
The shoulder is held in an immobilizer for three weeks. During this time only passive movements, where the physiotherapist moves your shoulder for you without any assistance from you, are permitted. These may include pendular exercises and passive movements of the arm to shoulder height, both forwards and out to the side.
Gentle strengthening work can commence following this, at approximately six weeks postoperatively.
As rotator cuff patients often have existing muscle atrophy (degeneration of the muscles) before the operation, recovery of power and range of motion in the shoulder may take a long period of time.
Neoligaments' Rota-Lok has been specifically developed for cases of massive rotator cuff tear, where the tendon cannot be reattached to the bone by other means, and also when the cuff tissue has undergone degeneration. It is made from polyester, a biocompatible material which has been in use for reconstruction of ligaments and tendons for over 25 years.
Because the Rota-Lok is a synthetic device, there are no risks or availability problems as encountered with allograft tissue. Likewise, there is no donor site morbidity as encountered with autograft tissue.
The undulating structure of the strong thin corded ends means the device can be fixed with a small, secure knot that won't slip or cause irritation to the rotator cuff tissue.
The flat central open weave section of the device bridges the gap between the rotator cuff and the bone from which it detached, and encourages new tissue to grow through it. This makes the repair stronger.
The width of the central open weave section reduces the likelihood of the device cutting through poor quality tissue and jeopardizing repair in the same way that sutures might. No sutures are necessary and the Rota-Lok can be used alone.
The surgical procedure is quick and uncomplicated to perform, yet it is effective.
The shoulder is evaluated arthroscopically to determine the size of the tear and the quality of the tissue. If the tear is small and the tissue healthy, it should be repaired with appropriate sutures and anchors. If the tear is massive or the cuff tissue has undergone extensive degeneration and the rotator cuff cannot be repaired by any other means, the Rota-Lok is used as outlined below.
An incision approximately 5 cm in length is made at the site of injury.
The Rota-Lok is passed through the soft tissue of the torn rotator cuff using surgical forceps, so that the wide open weave central section passes underneath the rotator cuff and the two ends of the Rota-Lok protrude from the top of the rotator cuff.
Two parallel bone tunnels are created in the top of the humerus using a small drill. Each tunnel comprises two intersecting holes, one drilled from the top of the humeral head and one from the side, to create a curved tunnel.
The two corded ends of the Rota-Lok are threaded through the two parallel bone tunnels and tensioned appropriately so that the open weave section spans the gap and the length of the repair is physiological. The cords are then tied on the outside of the humerus using a reef knot with an extra throw (triple knot).
Any excess cord from the ends of the Rota-Lok is trimmed to length and the incision is closed using sutures.
The arm is kept in a polysling.
Active fingers, wrist and elbow movements are permitted.
The arm is kept intermittently in a polysling.
Gentle movement of the shoulder, both active (moving your shoulder without assistance) and passive (the physiotherapist moves your shoulder for you without assistance from you), is allowed.
Stitches are removed if the wound is healing well.
Active assisted exercises, where the patient performs the exercises with some assistance or support from the physiotherapist, are appropriate at this stage.
Isometric exercises, where the patient performs the exercises against a fixed surface (e.g. by pressing their hand against the wall to immobilize and provide resistance to the muscles in the shoulder), are also begun.
Scapular stabilization exercises are commenced, with gradual progression to resistance exercises, or strength training. It is important to strengthen and stabilize the scapula (shoulder blade) as part of rotator cuff rehabilitation, as it is a central structure within the shoulder. It provides attachment for three different groups of muscles, one of which is the rotator cuff, and for each set of muscles to be able to function properly without strain the foundation must be stable.

In a recent interview, Dave Matthews said that he was in the middle of writing this song in a hotel room, when his son came to him and wanted to practice swimming in the pool. He went and watched, and came out with this incredible lullaby called "Sweet."
Can't you hear it? This song is precious. The lyrics not only literally represent that experience, but the tiny ukelele and hushed soulful vocals fit with the underlying message in an oddly synchronized kind of way. It's, very clearly, about something so much larger than swimming. "You know the feeling when you're in too deep/ And then you make it out, the taste so sweet." Perfection.
Away From The World might be Dave's best album in years. Have you heard it? It's an absolute must-buy and blast.


I have a WGO26s #110708165. tag dated: 11-07-14. I understand this guitar was manufactured July 14, 2011. Am I correct that 8,165 represents the run sequence for this model? Approximately how many WGO models were produced altogether?
I also have a WGO26S...the CE model. If Washburn ever wanted to call a guitar a "mini-Jumbo", this ought to be the one...same large lower bout and small upper bout, slope shouldered, and deeper than many dreads.
As for production numbers, I'd suspect that weBgUy might be able to help out...back when WBNick was moderating the forum he gave me production info on my C124SWK.
I have often wondered about the info in Washburn's serial numbers and have found a pattern that seems to be consistently applicable.
For example, the serial # on one of my WMJ21S guitars is CC101124069. CC is a designation for one of the Chinese factories...10 indicates the guitar was made in 2010, 11 stands for November (11 th month), 24 is the 24th day, and 069 means my axe was the 69th to get off the production line.
110708165...first two numbers mean made in 2011, next two indicates 07th month, 08 indicates 8th day of the month, and 165 means your guit was #165 to roll off the production line that day.
I have checked all my recently made Washburn guitars and there are none for which this pattern has not worked.
My WMJ21S has no serial number on the neck block, but there have been instances where the serial number on the neck block and the serial number on the paper label are significantly different. We have a very knowledgeable member who has explained that phenomenon and has also done some mining in Epiphone's production archives and knows which city CC would be... I'm working off my cell phone and can't figure out how to copy URLs, but I'll see if I can locate those two threads and edit this post with their location on the forum.
I too would LOVE for a company to post a database of actual production numbers.
There's no "CC" entry. At a HUGE long Hail Mary guess, there's the slimmest chance it stands for "Cort China" but then I'd have to find out whether Washburn has ever verifiably contracted to Cort at all & that's just another ol' can of worms.
As for the "two number" problem -- in general, for a solid-body electric guitar, I'm confident that the body bears the final s/n, & a numbered neck is a quality-control matter. That is to say, if they both follow a reasonable format (as DerDugli has explained), then the neck would have been made BEFORE the guitar was assembled. On acousticals, I'm still willing to lean that way. However, on finer archtops, I wouldn't be surprised to find that a nice neck has been taken off a body that failed QA testing, & reused.
USMC responded in an email that the total production of WGO26s models was 1800. Also I'm told First two digits of ser . no. = yr of manf., next two digits = month; following digits = total factory output -- all models -- cumulative for that year-to-date. (but, the ser. nos. of my collection reveal later "dates" earlier in sequence numbers.... go figure.) I'd love to see the production numbers for the acoustics in the WMJ and WG models. I suspect that fewer of these nice Chinese made Washburns exist than fear of a flood of "knockoffs" might have led one to expect... I'm very fond of all my Washburns, especially my WGO, most recently a WJ45s, and my trusty WMJ21. Not so much my R321swr, soundwise. recently looking at a WG26S again....as pretty as any guitar made.
How to pick out the correct product number of guitar. how can choose the best guitar. I would like to know more about the playing guitar. Anyway Thanks a lot for sharing this post. I am happy for being here.
Yah, the sudden upsurge of one-post spambots is going from annoying to worrisome. How long until any personal info is compromised?
Forum duties were part of the internal marketing dept. The marketing duties are now handled by an independent firm who were not aware that the forum was the responsibility of the marketing dept. I am going to assist them in the transition. Washburn has a huge history...I started at Washburn in 1980...worked till 93, left the guitar biz in 2000, and returned to Washburn as the repairman in 2010. Love my Washburns and the fact that we have always taken some chances in the design of the guitars and stringed instruments. We are embracing that path again and I think you will see a lot more from us in 2018 that will honor our history, and turn a few heads.
This is what webguy sent me I hope he doesn't mind my posting this but its the explanation as to why this is being allowed I can only conclude some idiot in marketing and this new company doesn't understand that is one of the reasons that Washburn sells on the market.


To get viewpoints from many nations: My follows include people on almost every continent (still waiting for some outposts at the poles to find me) who speak at least five languages. The ability to stream a world view's important to me, and gives me a richer perspective. And it means there's always someone to hear from, no matter what the hour is.
To fill a varied inbox: I follow an odd mix of people, and I mean that as a compliment. My clients are always looking for ideas on using social media in their varied sectors, and the topics and people I follow on Twitter run the gamut--it helps me to find new ideas and out-of-the-box examples.
To get news, fast and furious: I'm used to having lots of news streams, but Twitter is hands down the best and the fastest. So if a late-breaking item fits in with something else I'm writing or speaking about, I have it at my fingertips, no matter where I might be. I can dip into the stream and enrich my work with it instantly.
To learn from my curious followers: Sometimes, the best way to see something anew is to be questioned about it by someone who's genuinely curious and doesn't know you well. My followers on Twitter ask me all sorts of questions--about my blog, about public speaking, about social media, about food and travel and playing guitar--that prompt me to think with care about what I do. It's a great playback machine.
To master the art of tight spaces: As a longtime editor, Twitter's my favorite tool to push my writing back into brevity. Making every word count rules this space, whether I'm crafting my own message or tightening someone else's so I can retweet it. The exercise, repeated dozens of times a day, is an essential writing and editing tool and forces you to think differently about your words.
To work with great collaborators: Having a regular crowd to help source my work is the greatest gift I get from Twitter. Many of my followers have become my best sources, sharing items in their streams that they know I'll appreciate (and vice versa), or pointing me to them publicly or in direct messages. They alert me to typos, angles, sources, ideas and perspectives I could not easily find on my own. We share manuscripts, support and encouragement. How does it get better than that for the creative soul?
To find serendipity: One day, I read posts from a communications colleague who was off to protest a cement kiln, followed by posts from a cement industry association on green uses for the stuff, and from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (a former employer of mine) on industry regulations...quite the cement mixer of people I follow, isn't it? That kind of coincidence coughs up themes, gives me a broader and richer perspective and jolts my thinking.
To have fun: An essential element in my creative process, the fun comes in sharing enjoyment--whether that comes from humorous news items or a shared love of cooking. Because I let loose with humor once in a while on Twitter, I get plenty back...and because I share personal interests, I have a richer sense of my collaborators on Twitter, and they of me. We get to stretch our cleverness muscles in much the same way we help each other learn more.
To spark plain old ideas. Some of the most popular blog posts I've ever written came from questions on Twitter. "Could you help me do this...?" "Where do you find that?" or "What do you think about...?" are my favorite queries, because they always spark ideas. I think of them as reader requests, and run with them--and it never fails.
To grow with an expandable universe: Many of my very favorite follows of all were initially surprises to me...friends of friends, or those retweeted by people I followed first, who kept, well, landing on my doorstep, so to speak. As for the colleagues I already knew in real life, some of them have surprised me, too, in this space. To me, Twitter's great possibility isn't about the numbers, but about the ability to expand a network of new thinkers in ways that make sense and surprise me all at the same time.
To take a refreshing break: I may have my head down, focused on a deadline, or be forced offline on a plane for a few hours. But Twitter's always an easy break to bring me back into the varied world I inhabit online. Watching the stream go by, even for a few minutes, is bound to spark some ideas.

Death caused injury inflicted by negligence or wrongful act, then, in every such by negligence. case, damages may be recovered for such death, from the corporations and persons so causing same. Until otherwise provided by law, the action to recover such damages shall in all cases be prosecuted by the personal representative of the deceased person. The Who may sue. general assembly may provide how the recovery shall go and to whom belong; and until such provision is made the same shall form part of the personal estate of the deceased person.
This does not give a right of action against an employer for the death of an employee caused by the negligence of a fellow-servant of equal grade in the same department. A conductor temporarily acting as brakeman is still of equal rank with a locomotive engineer so that he can not recover of the company for injuries received from the engineer's negligence. 54 S. W. Rep. 184.

paid in lawful mines, workshops, or by corporations shall be paid for their labor in
money. lawful money. The general assembly shall prescribe adequate penalties for violations of this section.

Women's Rhino Cup Champions League 2019
The first five matches of the Women's Rhino Cup Champions League
Women's Rhino Cup Champions League is a competition sponsored by Wild and Free Foundation. It started on 13 July 2019 with 10 weeks, and six teams. The whole community is every week engaged in watching the women playing in their dwelling areas...
Thus, the first five weeks were so interesting, and people enjoy their weekends. The objective from which this project was designed, to protect the rhino is being a true reality since boys and girls or men and women have something which get them entertained and busy.
The Women's Rhino Cup Champions League Committee is very grateful to the sponsors and faithful partner for their commitment to continuously assist this league.
We make a positive assessment in relation to the first five weeks of the league, since we witnessed a new life style from the people from Sábiè in general. So far, we have not had any problems with the teams and the whole people taking part in this competition.
We hope that you, as the faithful partners and sponsors, make your own assessment from the whole information and documents related to the league from the first five weeks.
The closing date of the fifth matches is 10 August 2019.
With much regards
The Chairman of the committee
Rodrigues Charles Augusto Bitone

Location, location, location: it is the golden rule of real estate. This mantra is oft-repeated and might even match reality over the long run. However, there's another maxim to be considered, too – "you can overpay for gold." For commercial real estate investors, these questions play out in terms of investment location (Washington, D.C. versus Houston, for example) and quality (new, long-leased assets in the best location versus average assets in average locations), and never have these questions been as relevant as today.
As a case study, let's look at the poster child for commercial real estate investor exuberance: Washington, D.C. The federal government, the nation's most consistent growth industry, has driven strong office absorption through all the vicissitudes of the last decade. As a result, Washington, D.C. office property income has been stable and generally growth oriented, and total returns, especially in the District proper, have consistently outperformed.
In contrast, Houston has spent most of the last two decades on the wrong side of institutional investors' redline for investment. Mostly dependent on the energy industry, Houston suffers from low barriers to supply, which contributes to higher average cap rates than in the big (non-gulf) coastal metros that most institutional investors prefer.
So, in the long run, D.C. is arguably the better location than Houston. But what if you are looking at the short or medium term?
Widespread voter calls for more rational government financing and even the (failed) supercommittee all seem to be leading to massive cuts in government spending. If that were to happen, where would property investors be most at risk?
Well, it's not hard to find Waldo here – as shown in the graph below, the percentage of metro D.C.'s total economic output tied to directly measurable federal spending is 40 percent, by far the largest in the country. Included in that 40 percent is 12 percent driven by defense spending, which may be at even more risk than other federal spending.
In contrast, there's Houston, a metro that most institutional investors, especially REITs, have traditionally avoided, due to high perceived risks and low barriers to supply. In Houston, about 11 percent of the metro economy is driven by federal spending, and about 3 percent of the economy is linked to defense spending. In term of economic drivers, Houston is almost a one-horse town, but which are you betting on this week – energy or Federal spending? If you are an investor in Washington, D.C. office buildings, you are betting on the latter, not the former.
Does that mean all investors should pull out of D.C. and plow wholesale into Houston? Far from it. Over the long term, D.C. office is a rational part of any core portfolio, and energy is fundamentally more volatile than government. Also, the liquidity and barriers limiting new construction in D.C. are appealing.

Bamboo, Tomatoes, Nerds... you can grow anything in these galvanized stock tanks!
or add hot water to your Nerds instead of dirt = Hot Tub party times!
Ooo! plus bareroot 'Compact Stella' Cherry trees are in, currently 8' tall and growing only 10 - 12' tall and self-fertile + bareroot Persimmon trees.... and we picked up another round of natives, blueberries, a wide range of fruit, flowers and more. They were double stacked in the box truck. We offloaded all of them to organize, put 50% out at the shop, 50% back in the truck to go to our 'Speakeasy' plant overflow space off site and the truck then looked like we hadn't unpacked anything. It is a clown car box truck, amazing optical illusion like capacity. Ppplllllaaaannnntttssss, we love them!


LAST Thursday was very much a case of Feniton day for Phear Park, writes Lawrie Harries. A friendly in the afternoon was followed in the evening by a men's two rink meeting in the Foxlands Trophy - one rink played at home, one away. The afternoon friendly ended with a win for Feniton by 11 shots.

San Diego's Most Beautiful Cocktails
Cocktails for Every Occasion!
By Emily Glaser
Beautiful Cocktails
[Updated] Up, neat, on rocks, in collins and coupes—cocktails come in all shapes, sizes and flavors. Undoubtedly, the most important part of a cocktail is the taste, but there's something about a well–designed and prettily prepared cocktail that makes that first sip—and every sip thereafter—particularly tasty.
San Diego has quickly established itself as a craft cocktail mecca in an era when even the smallest towns tout their own suspender–clad mixologists. For years now, vacationers and locals alike have been able to prolong the paradisiacal sides of sunny San Diego, sipping on the archetypal umbrella–clad cocktail, but more recently bartenders have turned the art of the aperitif into just that—an art, complete with exotic blooms and a rainbow of hues. Whether you're in the heart of the Gaslamp, one of those circumferential hipster 'hoods, or a more northern, beachside city, you're just a jaunt and a drink away from a delicious—and beautiful—beverage.
With unimpeded views of Petco Park, Fairweather—the island–time sister upstairs from Rare Form—boasts some of the best vistas in San Diego. But the views aren't the only thing to distract your eye; here, the cocktails are just as breathtaking as the panoramic perspectives of the Padres. Fairweather capitalized on the tiki trend big time; most of its cocktails are as refreshing and tropical as a dip in clear Caribbean waters. Sample Fairweather's take on the classic tiki. Hemingway himself savored mojitos at Sloppy Joe's in Havana, Cuba and you can try the modern take with the Mojito Caballito—we guaranteed your eyes will feast on this masterpiece as easily as your tastebuds. Light rum, fresh lime sugar, mint, dry vermouth and soda make a simple pairing that's absolutely beautiful, with layers of color that can only come from fresh ingredients. If you're looking for a drink that's as vivid as your personality, pick up a Blue Ricardo. The electric blue tint comes from the Blue Curacao, but the taste is all island, including passionfruit, coconut, pineapple, lemon and the house light rum. Even the Piña Colada is a handsome libation, served in a thick glass chalice and garnered with the proverbial umbrella.
There are few locations as quintessentially San Diego as George's at the Cove. With ocean views that span for miles, paired with the sound of crashing waves and sea lions below, it would take a particularly delightful drink menu to draw visitors' senses back inside—which is exactly what George's provides. Snag a seat on the coveted seaside balcony at the bar upstairs and peruse a menu full of classic and contemporary cocktails alike, spotted with covetable, compounded adjectives like "hand– crafted," "house–infused" and "fresh– daily." If you're looking for something your grandfather—or great–great grandfather—would be proud to drink, grab an Old Fashioned with Bulleit Rye, house gomme syrup, Angostura bitters and orange (circa 1869), or a Negroni with No. 3 London Dry Gin, Campari, Carpano Antica Formula sweet vermouth and orange (circa 1910). For something a little more fantastical and fruity, go with a punch. The Brain Cloud comes in small or large beveled bowls and features Absolut Elyx, St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur, cider, falernum, lemon and black tea. Perfectly refreshing and as stunning as the waves below.

Counseling Center adds staff, puts counselors in residence halls
Starting in October, counselors will be available for consultation sessions in Sutherland Hall, Lothrop Hall and Towers Lobby.
Issi Glatts | Senior Staff Photographer
By Charlotte Pearse, For The Pitt News
Starting in October, the Counseling Center will place counselors in three residence halls on campus, allowing students to meet for informational consultations closer to home.
The new counselors will be in Towers Lobby, Sutherland Hall and Lothrop Hall and are one of the biggest changes that Counseling Center Director Jay Darr has made this fall. Placing counselors in residence halls is an expansion of the center's "Let's Talk" consultation services, which seek to bring counselors to students instead of the other way around.
In Lothrop, Darr said, the counselors will be located behind hall security, but in Towers and Sutherland, any student will be able to talk to a counselor without swiping in, similar to the current drop-in setup in the Wellness Center.
Darr, who was hired in January, is looking to make other changes as well. In an effort to address increasing demand, the Counseling Center has hired several additional staff members in the past few months. Darr said that in October, there will be 24 senior-level staff members as well as 11 master's- and doctoral-level trainees. In April, the staff consisted of 20 clinicians and seven trainees.
Right now, Darr said, the Counseling Center has no wait list — something students have complained about in the past.
"I think over time, as the needs increase — there's been a 30% increase in demand — the Counseling Center has been diligently responding to that over time, with some success, and sometimes it's been challenging," Darr said.
Eric Macadangdang, who sits on the Student Government Board and has worked on mental health initiatives in the past, called the plan to put counselors in residence halls "a great first step."
"The symbolism of putting counselors where people are living shows that this is important, and I hope that, first of all, people notice it, and then [that] people utilize it," Macadangdang said.
When Darr was hired in January, the Counseling Center's director position had been empty for more than a year. Shortly after he took the position, Darr met with various student leaders and held a town hall to hear students' concerns about the center.
"One of the things I did when I initially came on board was a listening tour," Darr said. "Not only here internally, but also with students across campus — student leaders and other student groups — to be able to hear their feedback and what we can do to improve."
The Counseling Center has been making an effort to partner with many different organizations, student-run and otherwise, in order to provide better self-help tools for students.
One of the programs, TAO Connect — "Therapy Assistance Online," accessible from the Counseling Center's website — provides access to both educational and therapeutic modules concerning depression, anxiety and other issues.
"We included that technology because we really felt that by empowering students, by creating autonomy in their lives for their support in mental health would be beneficial," Darr said.
Another student that spoke with Darr was Julia Lam, the president of Pitt Active Minds. At Pitt, Lam runs a chapter of the national non-profit organization that organizes events, programming and peer education, but also seeks to provide a safe space for students to talk with their peers about what they're going through.
Lam said that she liked the self-help aspect of TAO. According to Lam, TAO builds students' independence and makes the process more interactive by giving students something to try out first on their own.
"One time [Darr] said that if you sprain your ankle, sometimes you don't go directly to the doctor. You might try icing it yourself, or wrapping it in Ace wrap," Lam said.
It's important to remember that TAO is just a first step to try before moving on to higher levels of care, Lam said, and that students can go to the Counseling Center if they need more help.
The Counseling Center is also partnering with ThrivingCampus, which Darr said is another technological tool for students to take initiative on their mental health themselves. Students can use ThrivingCampus to look up unaffiliated community providers in the area, and they can adjust their results based on their insurance. Providers who aren't accepting patients won't be listed.
"With ThrivingCampus, they have to go through Pitt to be listed, so it's Pitt-approved people," Lam said. "When I've been looking at it recently, it seems like they're still kind of spreading the word about ThrivingCampus, so there's not as many providers on it yet. But I think once more private therapists get word of it then there'll be a bigger pool of people to look through."
Overall, Darr said he hopes to provide a more accessible and personalized form of care for students going forward that can give each and every individual student the care they need. The increase in demand is positive because it means that students are seeking help, he said.
"We just have to get smarter in how we begin to manage that demand and really meet the students where they are," Darr added. "Instead of just saying 'Here, everybody gets a cookie-cutter-type process,' it's really personalized to meet the students' needs."
An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to ThrivingCampus as Thrive on Campus, an unconnected program.

What information from the excerpt is ironic? The children arrived first for the lottery. Read the excerpt from "The Lottery."Because so much of the ritual had been forgotten or discarded, Mr. Summers had been successful in having slips of paper substituted for the chips of wood that had been used for generations.
What is the best summary of the main conflict in "The Lottery"? The main conflict is between an individual and society. In the story, the townspeople have a yearly ritual that involves sacrificing a villager to ensure a good harvest. After Tessie Hutchinson is selected, she is attacked by the entire community.

What important information does this setting in this excerpt reveal? The children have been raised to view the lottery as a normal part of village life.
Joe Summers is in conflict with society because he is joking with the villagers. Old Man Warner is in conflict with society because he believes that young folks have crazy ideas. Mr. Adams is in conflict with society because he says some villages have stopped holding lotteries.
Read the excerpt from "The Lottery." "Bill," Mr. Summers said, and Bill Hutchinson reached into the box and felt around, bringing his hand out at last with the slip of paper in it. The crowd was quiet.
The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Which line from the excerpt provides clues about the setting?
Internal conflict is the problem you have within yourself. Bill, Tessie's husband, has an internal conflict. He faces the fact that his family was the ones that won the lottery and he doesn't really show his emotions on the outside they are all inside his mind.
The predominant type of external conflict found in Shirley Jackson's classic short story "The Lottery" is considered a Man vs. Society conflict.
IT IS INTERESTING: Best answer: Did Wind Creek Casino reopen?
"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is a short story published in the June 26, 1948 edition of The New Yorker. Written immediately after World War II, it explores ideas such as communal violence, individual vulnerability, and the dangers of blindly following tradition.
The lottery has also changed over the years with the introduction of paper slips instead of wood chips inside the black box. Originally, the wood chips were placed in the box when the community was significantly smaller.
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson: Themes
The main theme of "The Lottery" is the power of tradition and ritual. The tradition of the lottery is continued every year even though the original meaning behind the event has long been lost.
Just as Anne sought to reform her religious community, Tessie seeks to undermine the lottery, suggesting the results are not fair. However, both women are punished for their transgressive attitudes: Anne was excommunicated and exiled, and Tessie is killed. Tessie can be interpreted in a variety of ways.
The lottery represents any action, behavior, or idea that is passed down from one generation to the next that's accepted and followed unquestioningly, no matter how illogical, bizarre, or cruel. The lottery has been taking place in the village for as long as anyone can remember.
IT IS INTERESTING: Your question: Should you bet max on slots?
Which statement best describes the history of the lottery in the village? It is a ritual unchanged since its beginnings. It is a tradition as old as the village itself.


The findings of a "truly a landmark study" by British and American researchers reveals "Just one injection could be enough to mean people with haemophilia B no longer need medication."
People with haemophilia B have an error in their genetic code, which means they cannot produce a protein called factor IX, which is critical for blood-clotting. Patients are currently treated with factor IX injections, sometimes multiple times per week, but the manufacturing process is expensive.

A Look at 2020 Chinese New Year Films
As of November 6, 7 films have been officially scheduled to release in China on the 2020 Chinese New Year's Day (January 25). According to the official Weibo account of China's film site Sina Film, the seven scheduled films are Detective Chinatown 3, Lost in Russia, The Rescue, Vanguard, China's Women Volleyball, plus two animated films Bonnie Bear: The Wild Life and Legend of Deification. According to Maoyan Pro, another three films Jin Chan Xiang Mo, Da Hong Bao, Into the Rainbow will also join the competition, although release dates have yet to be set for these three films. There are three new trends to be seen in this lucrative Chinese new year period. First, among the seven officially scheduled films, five are new installments of existing film series. Second, film genres become increasingly diverse. Once occupied by comedy flicks, cinemas during this year's Chinese New Year will have some "fresh blood," such as the classic myth-based animated feature Legend of Deification and sports movie China's Women Volleyball. Third, film scheduling and promotion start earlier and ealier. Usually, scheduling and promotion of a film begin two or three months before its theatrical release. This year saw upcoming films announcing release dates four to five months in advance. Read more on zhipianrenneican

In Digital Marketing, WhatsApp Is Fueling a Global Trend.
AuthorsFernanda Saboia
PublishedMarch 9th, 2016
Here's why the direct messaging app is replacing traditional CRM tools in countries like Brazil.
In Brazil, a majority of people, regardless of their culture, level of education, or technological know-how have one thing in common: WhatsApp is the main way they communicate. About 96% of the Brazilian population with access to internet uses WhatsApp regularly — that's around 91 million users. In a landscape of Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and Twitter, WhatsApp is beating all of its competition. And with such widespread adoption, Brazilian businesses have started using the one-on-one messaging to connect directly with consumers.
But this isn't exclusive to Brazil — it's a worldwide digital marketing trend that's gaining major traction. In India, for instance, premium brands encourage sales managers to use WhatsApp to reach out to customers and offer exclusive, personalized services. Conversion has been noted to be as high as 80%.
Why? The motivations behind this is trend are plenty.
It is truly mobile first: For messaging, it all started with mobile. There is no full experience to be had on desktop.
It's simple: Simple enough even for the least savvy of users. There is no UI that needs to be learned.
Everybody reads texts: Seriously. About 98% texts are opened and read while good open email rate is 22%. For Facebook, a post performing well has a 7% read rate.
It's personal: No bulky introductions or email signatures needed.
With that in mind, I set out to talk with small businesses owners and solo entrepreneurs in Brazil to understand how they use WhatsApp to talk to customers. I interviewed a total of 30 people, and 29 of them told me they've used WhatsApp to communicate with both new and existing customers. Through that research, though the sample size was small, I was able to identify the four main ways businesses use WhatsApp.
One-On-One Customer Service.
This is the most popular way all businesses, regardless of size, use WhatsApp. It serves as a way to talk directly to your customer, answer questions, and offer support. Of those 30 small business owners interviewed, 29 use WhatsApp to talk to existing customers. That's more common than phone calls (22), and Facebook pages (19). Still, this trend isn't limited to small businesses owners. It's estimated that 87% of all doctors in Brazil use Whatsapp to talk to their patients.
Because of the upcoming Summer Olympics, Rio's streets are under construction and major routes are sometimes closed. In order to inform locals of the best way to get around town Rio City Hall has set up a phone number for The Explainer, a spokesperson who answers questions about the streets, public transportation, and major events happening in the city. As a one-on-one customer service platform in Brazil, WhatsApp has replaced Twitter, phone, and e-mail.
Community Building.
Private messaging is only half the fun. Most users are a part of several groups ranging from classmates and colleagues to fan clubs. In Huge's Rio office, for instance, every employee is a part of about 17 groups with some participating in up to 56 groups. If Tumblr is the way to geek out about your favorite band, WhatsApp is where you chat with fans in your city going to the concert next month. If you use Coursera message boards to talk about a class you're taking, there is a WhatsApp for Brazilian students that get together to discuss topics.
Businesses have tapped into WhatsApp groups to create a community. A local gym might not have a strong presence on Instagram or Facebook, but most of their members are likely part of a WhatsApp group where they share pictures and videos from their workouts and the instructors inform them of different hours and new classes.
Text-To-Shop.
WhatsApp is great for talking to people who already know who you are. Still, it falls short in ways to reach new customers. This is where WhatsApp meets its most loyal partner—Instagram.
In this new trend of shopping through messaging, Instagram is the storefront, and WhatsApp is the cashier. Major Instagram accounts, some with as many as 1.3 million followers, serve as a showcase of their products. With no website or web presence, the only way to purchase is through WhatsApp.
This is how it works: customers and businesses arrange payment and delivery through messages. Users then wire transfer the amount, most of the time through their bank's mobile apps, then share the digital receipt through WhatsApp directly from the bank app. There's also an incredible ease of use presented when these two apps join forces: there's no need to install anything, just list your phone number on your profile and users will get in touch. As a transactional tool, WhatsApp replaces simple ecommerce platforms such as Woocommerce, Shopify, and Squarespace.
Internal Communications.
Keeping employees on the same page can tricky. Our inboxes are overwhelmed with unread emails and urgent tags, and for this nothing is faster or more efficient than WhatsApp. Some employers have turned to WhatsApp as the primary method of reaching their employees and peers. In some cases, the messaging app has replaced email as the preferred way to connect with coworkers.
One of the users interviewed, a startup founder, says he has a WhatsApp group for the company executives and the PR firm responsible for his company. According to him, WhatsApp is the fastest way to communicate urgent information. But isn't just true for small businesses and startups. Recently, Distrito Federal's governor Rodrigo Rollemberg used WhatsApp to share a video to all public officials of the state explaining how a change in taxes will impact salaries and benefits to be paid.

Home/Research Highlights/Savings After Retirement: A Survey
Annual Review of Economics 8
Mariacristina De Nardi, Eric French, and John Bailey Jones*
The saving patterns of retired US households pose a challenge to the basic life-cycle model of saving. The observed patterns of out-of-pocket medical expenses, which rise quickly with age and income during retirement, and heterogeneous life span risk can explain a significant portion of US saving during retirement. However, more work is needed to distinguish these precautionary saving motives from other motives, such as the desire to leave bequests. Progress toward disentangling these motivations has been made by matching other features of the data, such as public and private insurance choices. An improved understanding of whether intended bequests left to children and spouses are due to altruism, risk sharing, exchange motivations, or a combination of these factors is an important direction for future research.

88-year-old man wins £345k from £9 on the horses
An 88-year-old man won a £345,000 jackpot after placing a £9 wager on the horses at his local Ladbrokes betting shop.
John Jelley, from Wales, a relative newcomer to gambling, took up betting on the horses three years ago as a means of entertainment after a wrist injury. The jackpot was from a winning combination of singles, doubles and an each-way accumulator bet, but Jelley claimed he did not study the form of horse betting, and instead, simply picked the horses whose names he liked.
He has become what is believed to be Britain's biggest senior citizen jackpot winner, and thought staff were joking when they told him he had won. A delighted Jelley said: "I came in on Sunday morning to do my bets again and that's when the staff told me I was rich. I thought they were taking the mickey and I told them I was too old for practical jokes. They showed me the screen and I just laughed."
The winning bet in full is as follows: 2.50 Wincanton: Sparrow Hills, won at 14/1; 3.15 Haydock: Frankie Figg, non-runner; 3.25 Wincanton: Bugsy's Boy, won at 12/1; 4.00 Wincanton: Forget It, won at 12/1; 4.30 Wincanton: Furrows, won at 66/1. Alex Donohue, of Burry Port Ladbrokes, said: "John is living proof that big wins come to those who wait. We've never known anybody to be so old and so lucky. We think John's the oldest punter to win anything like this sum." The retired tradesman plans to spend his winnings on a cruise to his neighbouring town of Kidwelly, just eight miles down the Welsh coast, before returning home in time for his favourite meal: sausages and mash.
