How are you feeling about this one?
The Philadelphia Eagles officially re-signed starting cornerback Ronald Darby to a one-year contract worth $8.5 million on Friday afternoon.
We'll have more analysis of the Darby deal and what it means for the team in the near future here at Bleeding Green Nation. In the meantime, here are some instant reactions to the deal.
Let's start off with one of Darby's teammates celebrating his return.
For those who think Darby isn't good, here are some things for your consideration.
I've thought that the Eagles' desire to bring Darby back really doesn't reflect well on one of these two corners: Rasul Douglas or Sidney Jones.
Something to keep in mind about the Eagles CB position is that it seems like there's a non-zero chance Jalen Mills could begin season on PUP list.
Darby likely wasn't getting great offers coming off of injury, and is betting on himself to play well in 2019 to get a big contract in 2020.
This gives PHI another year to figure out what they have in young players like Rasul Douglas, Sidney Jones, and Avonte Maddox.
The Eagles now have six corners under contract for 2019 25 or younger.
3 (Ronald Darby, Cre'Von LeBlanc, Jalen Mills) hit free agency in 2020.
2 (Rasul Douglas, Sidney Jones) hit FA in 2021.
This upcoming season is crucial for determining who wins those long-term jobs.
The Darby deal is a sensible move for the Eagles. Eagles keep a talented, 25-year-old starting CB that they know. Darby can reset his value coming off injury. Comparable to keeping Jeremy Maclin on 1-year deal in 2014.
It's hard to overstate how well Douglas, Maddox, and LeBlanc were playing last year. Now Darby, our best CB, is back. If Sidney Jones is healthy, that's quietly a really strong set of CBs.
I know he's had his ups and downs, but I'm really happy we're bringing Ronald Darby back.
Jalen Mills is *too* hot-and-cold and Sidney Jones has essentially been a bust thus far.

Q: Why do we use "this other" in a sentence? Why do we use "this other" at the beginning of a sentence?
For example in this sentence :

This other car hit me while I was parking

A: The word this is used here is as a cataphoric reference.

Cataphoric reference means that a word in a text refers to another later in the text and you need to look forward to understand. It can be compared with anaphoric reference, which means a word refers back to another word for its meaning. (TeachingEnglish)

This is often used in this way in spoken narratives to introduce a noun, especially a person, who is going to be repeatedly mentioned in the narrative.
E.g. "This guy comes up to me..." signifies more than "A guy..." that this person is an important part of the story and I'm going to talk about him a lot.
For a full explanation of this phenomenon, see "The cataphoric use of the indefinite this in spoken narratives"

A: "this other car" means there are many cars around that place, thus the person wants you to specify the car. That is showing that he knows that this specific car knocked him at the parking bay. He was going to park his car, and her friend or somebody somewhere knocked him. Maybe she was reversing or getting out of the parking bay. This shows that the other car made a mistake by hitting the person's car.

El castillo de Talmberk es un castillo parcialmente derruido que forma parte del núcleo original que conformó el pueblo checo de Talmberk (en la actualidad entidad de Samopše), ubicado a unos 3 kilómetros al norte de Rataje nad Sázavou, en el distrito de Kutná Hora. Se encuentra en un promontorio con fuertes pendientes a una altura de 365 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Está protegido como monumento cultural desde 1966.

Fue construido en un año desconocido, pero determinado en el siglo XIII, por los señores de Talmberk, a cuya familia estuvo vinculado durante la mayor parte de su existencia. A finales del siglo XIV fue conquistado y durante varios años gobernada por los medos de Valdek. Los señores de Talmberk perdieron el castillo a mediados del siglo XV. Después, fue brevemente propiedad de las familias Ojíř de Očedělice, de los Šumburk y los Slavat de Chlum. Durante las tres últimas familias el castillo perdió su función como residencia, comenzó a decaer y en 1533 fue marcado como desierto. Se conservan fragmentos de mampostería que fueron absorbidos por la construcción de viviendas en el siglo XIX.

Origen del nombre
El primer miembro del nombre Talmberk deriva del alto alemán medio Tâhele. En las fuentes históricas, el nombre aparece en las siguientes formas: Talmberg (1297), Talnberg (1312), Thalmberk (1337), Talmberk (1381), de Tallenberga (1398), Talenberg (1400), de Talmberk (1477) y Talmberk (1547).

Historia
El castillo de Talmberk fue fundado por un miembro de la familia Kounic (o Kaunitz). Diferentes autores difieren en cuanto a cuál de ellos fue y cuándo se fundó. Según Tomáš Šimek, el castillo fue fundado por Hroznata de Úžice, que ocupó el cargo de purgante del castillo de Praga entre 1284 y 1286, en algún momento después de 1284. Marek Rubeš sostiene como fundador al hermano o sobrino de Hroznata, Vilém, cuyo apellido mencionaba indirectamente el castillo en 1297, pero no descartó la fundación del castillo por Hroznata. August Sedláček y Tomáš Durdík consideraron que el fundador de Talmberk fue el hijo de Hroznata, Arnost, un antepasado de la familia Černčický de Kácov, que se supone que construyó el castillo a principios del siglo XIV. Arnošt utilizó el apellido de Talmberk en 1312, pero seis años más tarde se escribió de Černčice, por lo que probablemente fue dueño del castillo sólo por un corto período de tiempo y sólo pudo haber sido un tutor de los descendientes menores de Guillermo.

En la primera mitad del siglo XIV, el apellido de Talmberk fue utilizado por los hermanos Diviš y Nezamysl, hijos de Vilém de Talmberk. Diviš demandó a František de Dobešovice y Želenč en 1316 por una deuda de diez talentos de plata. En 1336 o 1337, Nezamysl intercambió algunas tierras con el monasterio de Sázava. La escritura de acuerdo contiene la primera mención directa del castillo y el hermano de Nezamysl, Diviš, se encontraba entre los testigos. En fuentes posteriores, Diviš aparece en 1348 en los registros de la tierra y tal vez todavía estaba vivo en 1353, cuando su hijo Petr de Talmberk sirvió como canónigo del monasterio de San Jorge y capellán de la reina Ana.

En 1385 el castillo pertenecía a Diviš de Talmberk. Por una razón desconocida, fue ocupado por los hermanos Havel y Vilém Medek de Valdeka, que estaban emparentados con Diviš, ya que la esposa de Havel era Dorota de Talmberk. La disputa fue llevada ante el tribunal provincial, según cuya decisión Havel debía devolver el castillo a Diviš e indemnizarle por los daños sufridos. No es seguro que Havel aceptara la sentencia, porque en 1400 todavía se refería a sí mismo como de Talmberk. Sin embargo, Diviš fue liberado y en 1400 sirvió como purgrave del castillo de Praga. En 1414 sirvió como sacerdote en la iglesia de Úžice y la última mención de él es del año siguiente, cuando testificó en una disputa sobre la propiedad de Budka de Kojetice.

Casi no hay registros de Talmberk de los años siguientes y de las guerras husitas. En 1417, el hijo de Diviš, Oldřich de Talmberk, ejerció el derecho de patronazgo sobre la iglesia de Úžice, y veinte años más tarde, en 1437, Hynek de Talmberk transfirió al castillo la dote de su madrastra, que pudo ser la segunda esposa de Oldřich. La familia de los señores de Talmberk era muy numerosa en aquella época, pero no conocemos a los propietarios concretos del castillo. Su supuesta lista fue registrada en 1543 en los registros de tierras, según la cual a Hynk le sucedieron Mikuláš, Štěpán, Ješek, Zdeňka, Vilém y Ješek de Talmberk.

De los señores de Talmberk, el castillo fue probablemente el último en pertenecer a Štěpán, mencionado en 1460 como tutor de los hijos de Ofka, hija de Diviš de Talmberk. En algún momento de la guerra entre el rey Jorge de Podiebrad y la Unidad de Zelenohorské, los señores de Talmberk perdieron el castillo. En 1473 se documenta como titular del castillo a Bedřich Ojíř de Očedělice. Después de él, el castillo fue adquirido de alguna manera por Bedřich de Šumburk, mencionado en Talmberk en 1487. Sin embargo, Bedřich residió en Trutnov y transfirió la dote de su esposa a Talmberk. Talmberk fue administrado para él por el purgrave, que en 1488 negoció con Ambrosio de Pilbín, el purgrave de Rataje, la venta del castillo. Amroz representó a Bohuslav de Švamberk. El precio de Talmberk se fijó en 3 500 kopeks, pero el acuerdo probablemente no se llevó a cabo.

En la segunda mitad del siglo XV Talmberk dejó de ser un señorío. En una época desconocida fue comprada por los eslavos de Chlum y probablemente anexionada a Čestín. El castillo se deterioró y en 1533 se marcó como abandonado. El castillo abandonado se convirtió en una fuente de material de construcción y los terrenos de sus inmediaciones fueron vendidos como solares por las clases altas a finales del siglo XVIII. En 1830, el propio castillo fue dividido de la misma manera, y se construyeron varias casas en sus ruinas.

En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX comenzaron los intentos de salvar las ruinas, pero se encontraron con la falta de dinero. Como consecuencia del mal estado, la gran torre se derrumbó el 24 de junio de 1933, y sus restos se rebajaron aún más durante las reparaciones. Al mismo tiempo, también se demolieron la puerta y otros muros. En 1997 y 2000 se produjeron nuevos daños. La estabilización de los restos no se completó hasta 2008.

Construcción
Talmberk pertenecía a los castillos de tipo bergfried más desarrollados. Su construcción tuvo lugar en varias fases, pero en la primera se construyó casi en su totalidad. En algún momento posterior a la conquista del castillo por parte de Medka de Valdek, probablemente se construyó una segunda torre más pequeña y se sustituyó la portería por una simple puerta en la muralla frontal. Además, es posible que se ampliara el palacio y se reforzaran las fortificaciones con un baluarte entre los fosos.

Los fundadores eligieron para el castillo un promontorio rocoso descendente sobre la confluencia de los arroyos Úžický y Talmberský. Las empinadas laderas proporcionaban una protección natural y el acceso sólo era posible desde el norte. Las defensas del castillo se reforzaron con un estanque situado en el pie oriental del promontorio. Sin embargo, con el desarrollo de las armas de fuego, las desventajas de la ubicación se hicieron evidentes, ya que las colinas más altas de los alrededores permitían a los posibles asaltantes bombardear el castillo con eficacia.

De las fortificaciones y edificios situados frente al castillo, sólo se ha conservado parcialmente el foso. Según František Alexander Heber, el foso era doble y estaban separados por una cresta rocosa. La veduta del castillo de 1797 y 1820 muestra un baluarte que se habría situado en el límite de los fosos.

El núcleo del castillo tenía una planta aproximadamente rectangular con las esquinas del norte redondeadas. En el lado norte, se ha conservado una parte del muro del zwinger. La puerta del núcleo estaba situada bajo una gran torre. La estructura era más compleja, pero lo que se conserva de la mampostería es un edificio nuevo construido tras el derrumbe de la torre. El único elemento original de la puerta original es el bolsillo de la barrera utilizado para asegurar la puerta.

El elemento dominante del castillo era un bergfried redondo incorporado a la muralla en la esquina noreste. La entrada a la torre estaba a una altura de unos siete metros. El piso superior a la entrada estaba iluminado por varias ventanas pequeñas, y el piso superior contenía aberturas estrechas regularmente espaciadas que se cree que eran aspilleras. La torre medía 930 centímetros de diámetro en la planta baja y la entrada de la planta baja se estableció en 1933. En la esquina adyacente se encontraba una estructura redondeada que se cree que es una torre más pequeña. Según Tomáš Durdík, se calentaba con una estufa de azulejos, pero Marek Rubeš rechazó esta hipótesis debido al reducido tamaño del interior.

El lado sur del núcleo del castillo consistía en un palacio, del que sólo se ha conservado una parte del muro del perímetro exterior, aunque hipotéticamente podría tratarse de un muro de patio. Esto sugeriría una bodega o sótano abovedado en la zona del parque. Se cree que esta última forma parte de una ampliación posterior, pero es posible que fuera el núcleo de un palacio cuyos muros exteriores han desaparecido por completo.

Noah Baumbach '91 is having an exciting week. The trailer for his upcoming film Greenberg came out today and his latest screenwriting collaboration with Wes Anderson, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, opens tomorrow.
In Greenberg, Ben Stiller plays the title character who moves into his brother's house in LA and grows close with his brother's personal assistant. "As their relationship develops through a series of embarrassingly awkward romantic encounters, even someone as irascible as Greenberg might have at last found a reason to be happy," the synopsis states.
The film comes out in March.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which features the voice of Meryl Streep '71, has already received rave reviews.


Salmon-pink and crystalline, a beautifully energetic bouquet wafts from the glass with aromas of strawberry, cherry, grapefruit zest, rose petals and fresh pear. On the palate, this wine is crisp and refreshing with enticing texture and a long, dancing finish.
We are pleased to present the inaugural vintage of Seavey's Rosé, a tribute to Mary "Mimi" Seavey and her incredible vitality and generous spirit. Entirely estate grown, Mimi's Rosé is a refreshing blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, sourced from just a few special rows of our vineyard blocks. Winemaker Jim Duane's dedication to quality and structure is exemplified in his intentional creation of this clean, crisp wine. Mimi would have loved this wine! While devoted to building Seavey's signature Cabernet Sauvignon alongside her husband, Bill, she was known to enjoy lighter wines with a touch of panache, and this wine's vivid, youthful fruit and bright energy hit the mark.
Special rows of our grapes were selected for this wine early in the growing season by Jim Duane. In late August, ahead of the rest of harvest, these grapes were then picked from the vines in the cool of the early morning to preserve their freshness. Gentle whole-cluster pressing was used followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
This versatile wine will shine with food. Serve it chilled with seafood or sushi, or with salads—for example, salad niçoise, panzanella or even a salad of watermelon, goat cheese and arugula. It could also be paired with heartier dishes such as cioppino, bouillabaisse, Portuguese lamb stew, or stuffed tomatoes and couscous.

Luis Valerio from Spanishcuisine.com tells The Local how to make the Spanish classic.
Peruse any Spanish menu and you are likely to find the classic croquetas de jamón - the golden crunchy outside containing a deliciously creamy filling.
Luis Valerio from spanishcuisine.com lets us in to the secret of how to make a perfect croquette.
Hard boil eggs to your liking and then peel and chop.
Peel and chop finely half an onion.
Chop finely the Serrano ham pieces or slices.
Heat four tablespoons of olive oil in a pot. When warm add chopped onion, Serrano ham, hard-boiled eggs and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook over low heat for 10 - 12 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the pot with the onion.
Once warm add the all-purpose flour and cook over low heat for three to five minutes whisking constantly with a balloon whisk until the mixture is smooth and turns a light, golden colour.
Slowly (1/4 a cup for each time) add the room temperature milk to the pot with the mixture and cook over medium heat whisking constantly. Season with one teaspoon of salt.
Bring it to a boil and cook over medium heat for four to five minutes stirring continuously (taste and add more salt if needed). If the béchamel sauce is gritty, use the blender to make it smooth.
Set the béchamel aside and let it cool for around three hours or until firm.
Whisk eggs in a bowl and put breadcrumbs on a plate.
Shape a tablespoonsful of mixture and roll in breadcrumbs.
Dip in egg and roll in breadcrumbs again.
Heat one cup of vegetable oil in a skillet. When hot add croquettes in batches and fry until golden (one to two minutes each side).
Transfer croquettes to a plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your Spanish ham croquettes recipe!
(Note: You don't have to eat your croquettes all at once - although it is tempting! You can freeze them before frying).

Q: Can I return std::thread Is it safe to return std::thread from a function?
eg
std::thread getWindowThread(std::function<void()> f){
    std::thread t(f);
    return t;
}

std::function<void()> func = [](){};
std::thread winT = getWindowThread(func);
winT.join();

A: Yes, it's safe. That thread will be moved to winT.

A: Yes, it's safe, as long as the function's return value is used to initialize  or assign to another std::thread object.
The only precondition for std::thread's destructor is that joinable() is false:
[thread.thread.destr]

~thread();
      Effects: If joinable(), calls terminate(). Otherwise, has no effects.

To be joinable(), the thread must have an ID not equal to a value-initialized ID:
[thread.thread.member]

bool joinable() const noexcept;
      Returns: get_id() != id().

And std::thread's move constructor and move-assignment operator specify that a moved-from thread will have an ID equal to a value-initalized ID, and therefore will not be joinable():
[thread.thread.constr]

thread(thread&& x) noexcept;
      Postconditions: x.get_id() == id() and get_id() returns the value of x.get_id() prior to the start of construction.

[thread.thread.assign]

thread& operator=(thread&& x) noexcept;
      ...
      Postconditions: x.get_id() == id() and get_id() returns the value of x.get_id() prior to the assignment.
      ...

Since getWindowThread returns a function-local variable, its return value will be move-constructed from the returned object, and since winT will be move-constructed from the value returned by getWindowThread, your example is safe.  The returned thread object is no longer joinable and can be destroyed.
However, if the returned value is not used to initialize or assign to another std::thread object, its destructor will call std::terminate() and crash your program.  For this reason, I would recommend adding the [[nodiscard]] attribute to your function to ensure your compiler at least issues a warning in this dangerous situation (if you have access to C++17 features, otherwise there are compiler-specific extensions to enable the same behavior):
[[nodiscard]] std::thread getWindowThread(std::function<void()> f) {
    std::thread t(f);
    return t;
}

A: Have a look std::thread's constructors. You can check that std::thread copy constructor (and copy assignment) has been deleted. See this to learn more about move constructor in C++.
When you return std::thread from the function, it's returned object is move-constructed and your variable winT will also be move-constructed as the function returns an object having value category prvalue.
std::thread winT = getWindowThread(func);

This should work and won't cause any undefined behavior. You might be thinking that once you return std::thread from the function, it will be destroyed and it's resources must be released and may be it's thread might be destroyed.
But as stated earlier, the object created in function will be move-constructed to construct winT object.
Detailed Information:
This link says that:

If *this has an associated thread (joinable() == true), std::terminate() is called.

So, to safely destroyed any std::thread object, you need to make sure it is not joinable. joinable() gives more insight on this:

So a default constructed thread is not joinable. A thread that has finished executing code, but has not yet been joined is still considered an active thread of execution and is therefore joinable.

So, when move constructor of winT constructs it, it swaps itself with object returned from your function. After that, temporary of your function will be destroyed and since, it won't be joinable, it is safe to destroy it.

The rise of bioinformatics has allowed for alternate therapies in treating disease. Thus, researchers have discovered relationships between the breast cancer gene (BRCA) family and the cancer itself. Recent investigations by the National Cancer Institute have shown that almost 55% of women with defective BRCA genes develop breast cancer by age seventy. These genes play an important role in tumor suppression; their mutations can increase the probability of developing metastatic cancer. Hence, scientists have begun studying BRCA-targeted gene therapy as an effective treatment for breast cancer.
This paper investigates the mechanisms of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene expression therapy in patients with breast cancer. By approaching the disease and its biochemical implications, it seeks to review current treatment options and genetic studies. We discuss the critical role of the BRCA gene family in signaling pathways (including angiogenesis) and evaluate the impacts of the loss-of-function mutations associated with the aforementioned disease. With this, we make suggestions for future studies and optimal treatment plans.
In addition, biologists have found a constant death rate among breast cancer patients. The rate of diagnosis also appears to remain constant over time (Figure 1).  This suggests that modern advances in treatment have remained largely ineffective in reducing the malignancy of the cancer.
Further research reveals that the cancer is most often diagnosed in women ages forty-five to seventy-four.  This supports a tie between hormonal change and disposition to breast cancer, as menopause coincides with much of this age interval.
Scientists have classified breast cancers using many diagnostic criteria. Touchstones include the location of tumors, the appearance of cancerous cells, and the genomic makeup of the cancer.
Breast cancer often begins in the milk ducts of an affected woman. This disease is called ductal carcinoma and can be further classified by its direction of travel. Ductal carcinoma in situ remains in the epithelial cells of the ducts, while invasive ductal carcinoma spreads to other parts of the breast. If the cancer begins in the lobular tissue, it is named lobular carcinoma. Invasive lobular carcinoma spreads across other mammary tissues and can metastasize. Bone and blood-related cancers can also occur in the breast; these sarcomas are rare and may also become invasive.
Breast cancers are rated upon microscopic analysis. Using various rubrics, scientists score a tumor from one to three based on its relative appearance to normal breast cells. Tumors rated at three are the most aggressive, while those at one are the least dangerous.
Each cancer usually affects a set group of extraneous tissues. For breast cancer, these include a woman's bones, brain, liver, and lungs. Cancer becomes more highly rated as it metastasizes; hence, metastatic breast cancers are scored more closely to three. This suggests that a metastasized tumor presents enhanced danger to a patient's health.
Breast cancer metastasizes as the tumor spreads from the breast to other organs. This occurs as the tumor enters blood, lymph, and/or other fluids. Adapted from Ref. 8.
In addition, the transcription factor HIF-1α (hypoxia inducible factor 1α) has been implicated in the aggressiveness of BRCA tumors. HIF-1α is highly conserved and upregulates angiogenesis in cells deprived of oxygen. Through redirection of hemoglobin, hypoxic cells are compensated with adequate oxygen and nutrients.  Oxygen, the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, is essential to the cell, as it allows the manufacturing of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. This makes HIF-1α an essential transcription factor for cell survival.
New studies have supported the heavy upregulation of the VEGF pathway in familial BRCA tumors. In a recent investigation, Saponaro, et al. found that VEGF density in BRCA 1/2 tumors was significantly increased compared to BRCAX and other sporadic cancers.  This suggests the role of angiogenesis in promoting aggressive metastasis of the cancer.
Targeted molecular therapies are under development for breast cancer and specific strains of BRCA tumors.
PARPi therapy targets the ability of BRCA 1/2 to promote repair of DNA double-stranded breaks.
In addition, some publications have documented the efficacy of BRCA as a biomarker in chemotherapeutic medicines. James, et al. detail the oncological applications of BRCA density testing to predict cellular response to chemotherapy drugs. While ER and HER2 act as biomarkers for hormonal treatment and immunotherapy, respectively, BRCA determines the efficacy of chemotherapy. Thus, downregulation of BRCA1 signals increased reception of cisplatin and mitomycin C, two key chemotherapeutic agents creating DNA double-stranded breaks and leading to apoptosis of cancer cells. Because BRCA tumors involve downregulation of the gene, it was noted in the human cell line HCC1937 that these drugs worked well when BRCA had no effect on DNA. In addition, downregulation of BRCA signals increased resistance to microtubule-interfering agents like vinca alkaloids and taxanes. As mRNA-specific ribosomal inhibition of BRCA is introduced, cells become less receptive to the agents.
The aforementioned therapies remain under investigation. As these options become viable for many patients, clinical trials are underway to confirm their efficacy.
As research continues on targeted therapy, more research is needed on specific strategies for combatting BRCA tumors. Additional targets should involve multiple stages of gene expression in order to optimize their success.

On April 2, AC Energy inaugurated their new office space on the 4th floor of Ayala 6750 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Ayala Chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala and AC Energy Chairman Fernando Zobel de Ayala. Alongside this event, AC Energy CEO Eric Francia unveiled AC Energy's rebrand that reflects the company's core identity, values, and growth journey the past few years.
The new brand identity is vibrant in concept and nimble in execution. Its identity is far from static—moving lines, spiraling patterns, and the vibrant hues of green, blue, and orange reflect AC Energy's commitment to aspirational thinking, collaboration, and excellence.
The space itself echoes this dynamism. Having come from the more corporate environment of Tower One, the new office is younger and free-wheeling. The office is a mix of open plan and private workspaces, with more space allotted for meeting rooms and large work areas. One of the largest spaces, known as the Melting Pot, is a well-lit communal area featuring modular tables, contemporary furniture, and a large concrete bar. Employees have direct access to the pantry, making it a great place for a meal, a chat, or informal meetings.
These new changes are not just a picture of the company's identity, but also a roadmap of how AC Energy intends to achieve its 2025 vision of exceeding 5GW in attributable capacity—through their unwavering bravery to aspire for bigger things, their commitment to close collaboration with partners and stakeholders, and the dynamism and determination to deliver nothing but excellence.

research, comment, ephemera by Jon Hickman
Re-reading Six Feet Under: red hair and red herrings
The following is a spoiler laden essay on Six Feet Under, co written with Chris Wills (and also available on his blog).
If you've not watched the show yet, treat yourself to a box set before you read this.
Six Feet Under is a simple narrative complicated by three red herrings: Nathaniel Jr. (Nate), Nathaniel Sr. (Nathaniel), and death.
Six Feet Under constantly invites us to consider death as a way of life. The funeral parlour setting frames the story of each episode and frames the story arc. Into this structure the series opens with the death of the Fisher family patriarch – the enigmatic Nathaniel – which forces Nate to reconnect with the family business he tried to escape. In Nate the producers give us an archetypal male hero – he is the uncompromising, good looking, sexually succesful (and heterosexual) lead played by a named star; as an audience we would tend to understand Nate to be our key protagonist. Thrown back into a family business which he has no real aptitude for, he physically grapples with death just as the Fisher family must emotionally grapple with Nathaniel's passing. But this reading becomes increasingly problematic as the series progresses. We must soon regard Nate as a flawed anti-hero, but his influence becomes increasingly corrupting on those around him until we find ourselves asking "is Nate the villain of Six Feet Under?". In the final season, Six Feet Under presents a moment of crisis for this reading with Nate's death, leaving the obvious reading of the show short of a hero for some four episodes; the death of Nate is where the producers show their hand, revealing the need for the audience to find a new story to explain Six Feet Under. We will now consider an alternative reading of Six Feet Under – while you may prefer your own reading, we feel that this explanation of the show is more effective than the "Nate as hero" reading as it overcomes the moment of Nate's death while unifying the story to themes within the show other than death.
So what is Six Feet Under really about?
Read as a classic Hollywood narrative with Nate as a villain, the disruption to the stable world is Nate's arrival; the new equilibrium can only happen when he's dead. In the new stable world we see all other characters have changed, and grown, through their experiences with Nate – death aside Nate has not grown through the events, he has simply become more compromised and damaged more and more people. Within this reading, we will consider Claire Fisher, the youngest Fisher child, to be the true protagonist of the show.
Claire Fisher
There are a number of points in the storywhere we see key truths revealed through Claire's eyes. Most notably, the finale of the show is seen entirely through Claire's eyes, but her role as an observer of events is a consistent theme throughout the show. Claire is the first character to recognise and accept David's sexuality; she is our witness whenever a character steps away from the confines of the funeral home and secret pasts are revealed, being present at Mya's conception in Seattle and when her mother reconnects with her youth at the party in the canyon; Nate's death is experienced most vividly through Claire, and she is the frst to understand Lisa's fate.
Reassessing Nate Fisher
Nate's role as a villain is complex but pervasive as he smothers other characters through performing his role as patriarch. Nate beats David at every turn: he takes the freedom (from the family business) which David craved, then walks back into the business as his equal (despite a lack of experience or qualification) and in doing so he annuls the years of life that David has invested into the funeral home. In his personal life Nate also beats David without trying, claiming fatherhood and marriage (twice); Nate cares for neither but they come to him easily, almost accidentally, enabled by social norms and laws that support his role as partriach. David has to work hard for success in family life and his business life, but social norms allow Nate to simply have these things even though he resents all of them.
Nate takes sex where he finds it, and while this easy sexuality will eventually be implicated in his downfall, no other character is allowed to have the same sexual success. David is criminalised and physically abused for taking what he wants, while Federico's bumbling naive attempt to be like Nate is disastrous for his marriage.
Sins of the Mother, Sins of the Father
The big contrast between Nate and Brenda is in now they attempt to or resist becoming their same-sex parent. Nate truly does become Nathaniel Jnr in the end, proving just as inadequate a husband and father, underlined by the fact that his last act before going to his deathbed is to cheat on his wife. Brenda, on the other hand, actively resists trying to become her mother, Margaret Chenowith. This is understandable, given that Brenda's parents psychoanalysed her and her brother Billy to death when they were children (combined with a total disregard for boundaries). Margaret's lack of boundaries extends to how she speaks to her daughter, her words often cruel, hurtful and undiplomatic – yet whilst she is set up as a thoroughly unlikeable character, as the series progresses it's increasingly hard to deny the truth in what she says regarding her daughter's relationships. Brenda exists in a constant state of denial, particularly in Season 2 when she uses sex to mask her feelings of fear and vulnerability as she and Nate become closer. Possibly she is also starting to feel suffocated – a feeling of suffocation that ultimately overwhelms Lisa in the following season, triggering the events leading to her death. Thus, whilst Brenda's form of release carries its own hazards, she does at least emerge alive. Something of a background figure for much of Season 3, Brenda re-emerges in Season 4 with a new relationship – only for Nate to blunder along and mess with her head. The result? Brenda acquires her own family at long last, albeit a rebounding widower and another woman's child. Here again Brenda's fears of becoming her mother come to the fore, as she and Nate argue over whether or not to tell Maya about what happened to her real mother. Brenda then herself becomes a mother, symbolically just after her husband's death. Her own child, on her own terms, and one who she will bring up within an enriched extended family, one devoid of the destructive presence of a man who, had he lived would most likely have screwed up his relationship with his daughters just as he had screwed up his relationships with the other women in his life (except Claire, but we'll come to her later).
Of course, mention of Brenda must also include mention of Billy, for parallel with Brenda's coming-to-terms with her intimacy needs is her having to come to terms with her younger brother's feelings for her. There are hints from the earliest episodes that Billy might harbour incestuous feelings for his sister, but these finally come to the fore in a scene in Season 4 when the pair are watching the animated film of Charlotte Light and Dark, the book based around Brenda's childhood (and the mental disorders she feigned when being observed by her father's various colleagues, just as she feigns intimacy with her sexual partners as an adult because it's "what they want"). Billy makes a pass at Brenda, but she recoils from him – subconsciously however, she cannot have been completely repulsed as, in a dream she has shortly before giving birth (and triggered by a suggestion made by her mother), she gets into bed with Billy and they start to make love. Whether these incestuous impulses are ever realised is not answered directly by the show, although it's notable that, amongst the future deaths of the main characters in the final montage, Brenda is seen dying in a nursing home whilst Billy drones on about their disturbed childhood for the umpteenth time.
Ruth is a different case altogether. Whilst Brenda fears giving in to her emotional needs, a lot of Ruth's frustration stems from attempting to satisfy hers. Although appearing prim and uptight initially, it is quickly revealed that, even before her husband's death, Ruth was having an affair with a hairdresser, Hiram. When this peters out, various other relationships ensue – Nikolai the florist, Arthur the junior embalmer, and finally geologist George Sibley. Ruth marries him after a whirlwind romance, only to subsequently discover a litany of ex-wives, estranged children and mental health issues. Significantly, each of these relationships entails Ruth assuming the role of mother and carer, rather than equal; even with Nikolai, who employs her for a time, Ruth still takes it upon herself to try and protect him, in particular when she uses part of her savings to pay off a gangster associate threatening Nikolai. The lack of gratitude that she receives in return signals the end of their relationship; this desperation to please being greeted by at best indifference and at worst ill-treatment is magnified to a grotesque degree in David's experience with the psychopathic hitchhiker. Indeed, of the three Fisher children, David most closely resembles his mother in his behaviour and, like her, has to work his way through a long arc to self-acceptance and realising that his own happiness cannot constantly be subservient to that of others.
Part of Ruth's journey to liberation comes through her relationship with her sister Sarah's friend Bettina. Ruth sees in Bettina the woman she was never able to be due to marriage and motherhood coming upon her at a very young age – and indeed the woman who she envies Sarah for being (although Sarah tells Ruth that in fact she envied her for being able to have children; thus the two sisters symbolically appear to be two halves of the same person). In one episode, Bettina encourages Ruth to shoplift, explaining that they will get away with it because, as women over the age of 40, they are "invisible". The transgression is perhaps less significant than the accompanying dialogue, as it highlights once again how certain groups tend to be marginalised in the Great American Narrative. It's also a piquant comment on the treatment of actresses of a certain age in the biggest industry in the Fishers' home city (made even more piquant through being delivered by Kathy Bates). Ruth's crucial moment of revelation comes near the end of the series as, in a fantasy sequence, she takes aim at and shoots down all the useless, unreliable, demanding men with whom she has fallen into relationships. Significantly, this happens at the exact same time as Nate is lying in a hospital bed, his death just hours away. For Ruth's eldest child, having repeated this sins of his father, is the one remaining man still holding her back. His death, whilst horrifically painful for her, is necessary in order for her to be truly free. Ruth goes forward as a friend, a lover and a devoted mother and grandmother – but on far more equal terms now that the men who demanded from her are either dead or neutralised.
One can compare and contrast Ruth and Margaret, Six Feet Under's two matriarchal figures. Ruth is very selfless, with anything she does for herself almost an act of rebellion. Margaret meanwhile is completely selfish and self-centred – but so is her husband, so they make a perfect couple. Whilst she might see herself as better emotionally equipped to deal with his loss than Ruth is to deal with Nathaniel's death, in truth she is just as grief-stricken, and emphasising this through her melodramatic side is really just as effective a way of masking her deeper feelings as Ruth's self-repressive streak. The funeral over, Margaret launches into a carefree relationship with Claire's college tutor Olivier, someone else who plays around with and insults others unashamedly. Margaret has no real interest in being a "good" parent; Ruth has invested too much in trying to be one for very little return. Ultimately though, Ruth moves more towards a happier central position, whereas Margaret remains pretty much where she started, and is arguably less liberated and enriched than her counterpart by the end.
All Apologies
"regarding him say neither bad nor good for he has gone beyond the good and the bad"
While we do see Nate as a villain, he is allowed a brief moment of redemption, which is permitted through our hero Claire. As we say goodbye to Nate, Claire remembers him as a teenager, alone in his room, crying about the death of Kurt Cobain. It is perhaps also not entirely irrelevant that Kurt Cobain's death was premature, and hastened by a self-destructive act. He left behind a wife (who has her own issues and is a not entirely sympathetic figure) and a young daughter.
Nate & Claire discuss memory and how the dead live on, and through this Nate is fixed in time for us as an innocent. Music from his room fades up – "What else should I be? All apologies" – as the family mourns for him, Nate reaches out to us through the music, which crosses from the diegis as though crossing from the afterlife and asks us to forgive him for after all, he only did what we expected of him.

Traditional & Simplified Chinese characters


Today the Gospel presents the event of the Transfiguration. It is the second stage on the Lenten journey. The first was the temptation in the desert, last Sunday; the second is the Transfiguration. Jesus "takes Peter, James and John apart with him on the mountain" (Matthew 17:1). In the Bible the mountain represents a place of nearness to God and of intimate encounter with him; the place of prayer where you are in the presence of the Lord. Up on the mountain Jesus shows himself to the 3 disciples transfigured; he is luminous, beautiful; and then Moses and Elijah appear and converse with him. His countenance is so radiant and his clothing so bright that Peter is in awe, so much that he wants to stay there, he wants almost to freeze the moment. Immediately the voice of the Father speaks from above, proclaiming Jesus as his beloved Son, saying: "Listen to him" (17:5). These words are important! Our Father says to these apostles and to us too: "Listen to Jesus, because he is my beloved Son." Let us keep these words in our head and heart this week: "Listen to Jesus!" And it is not the Pope who says this, it is God the Father who says this: to me, to you, to everyone, everyone! It is a kind of help for going forward on the road of Lent. "Listen to Jesus!" Do not forget.
This invitation of the Father is very important. We, disciples of Jesus, are called to be people who listen to his voice and take his words seriously. To hear Jesus, it is necessary to be close to him, to follow him, as the crowds in the Gospel did who walked the roads of Palestine. Jesus did not have a fixed post of instruction or pulpit, but was an itinerant teacher, who proposed his teachings along the road, the teachings given to him by the Father, taking trips that were not always predictable and sometimes not very easy. Follow Jesus to listen to him. But let us also listen to Jesus in his written Word, in the Gospel. I ask you a question: Do you read a passage of the Gospel every day? Yes, no … yes, no … Half and half … Some yes, some no. But is it is important! Do you read the Gospel? It is a good thing; it is a good thing to have a little Gospel book, little, and carry it with us, in our pocket, in our bag, to read a little passage from it any time during the day. Any time during the day I take the Gospel out of my pocket and read something, a short passage. There is Jesus who speaks to us, in the Gospel! Think about this. It is not hard, nor is it necessary that it be all 4 Gospels. 1 of the Gospels, very small, with us. We should always carry the Gospel with us, because it is Jesus' word, to listen to it.
I would like to draw 2 significant elements from this episode of the Transfiguration that I sum up in 2 words: ascent and descent. We need to go apart by ourselves, to ascend the mountain in a space of silence, to find ourselves and better perceive the Lord's voice. We do this in prayer. But we cannot remain there! The encounter with God in prayer moves us again to "descend from the mountain" and return below, to the plain, where we meet many brothers who are burdened by toil, sickness, injustice, ignorance, material and spiritual poverty. We are called to bring to these brothers who are enduring hardships the fruits of our experience with God, sharing the grace we have received. And this is curious. When we listen to Jesus' Word, we listen to Jesus' word and have it in our heart that Word grows. And do you know how it grows? By giving it to someone else! Jesus' Word in us grows when we proclaim it, when we give it to others! And this is the Christian life. It is a mission for the whole Church, for all of the baptized, for all of us: listen to Jesus and offer him to others. Don't forget: this week, listen to Jesus! And think about this thing about the Gospel. Will you do it? Will you do this? Then next Sunday you will tell me whether you have done this: having a little Gospel in your pocket or bag to read a little passage during the day.
And now let us turn to our Mother Mary, and entrust ourselves to her guidance to make this Lenten journey with faith and generosity, learning a little more to "ascend" with prayer and listen to Jesus and to "descend" with fraternal charity, announcing Jesus.
I greet all of you, dear faithful of Rome and pilgrims!
I greet the pilgrims from Valencia, Spain and the groups from Mannheim, Germany and Skara, Sweden.
I greet and thank the bands and singing groups from Piedmont, Liguria, Emilia and Tuscany, along with civil leaders.
I greet the Community of Pope John XXIII, founded by Don Oreste Benzi, who will lead a special "Via Crucis" along the streets in the center of Rome for women who are the victims of human trafficking. You're great!
I invite you to remember in prayer the passengers and crew of the Malaysian airliner and their families. We are near to them in this difficult moment.
I greet the parish groups, especially the faithful from Giave, Liedolo, San Prospero, Sorrento, Codogno and Nostra Signora di Czestochowa in Rome; and the Minim Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
I salute the many schools from many parts of Italy and other countries – I cannot name all of you! – but I will mention the Catholic school "Mar Qardakh" from Erbil in Kurdistan. Let us remember this school together. It is far away, but let us remember it with our heart along with the school from the Diocese of London in Ontario, Canada.
I greet the young people of the Società di San Vincenzo De Paoli, the Rotary Club of Massafra-Mottola, the young people from Calcio and None, the children from Soliera and San Felice sul Panaro.

Business travelers beware: It's illegal to bring your Galaxy Note7 on a plane
By Alison DeNisco Rayome in Mobility on October 17, 2016, 7:27 AM PST
On Friday, the US Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration banned the Samsung phones from air transportation in the US. Here's what you need to know.

Business travelers who try to take their recalled Galaxy Note7 phone on a plane may face fines and criminal prosecution. The US Department of Transportation, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, recently issued an emergency order banning all Samsung Galaxy Note7 phones from air transportation in the US—placing the devices in the same "hazardous materials" category alongside fireworks and lighter fluid.

Passengers are not allowed to fly with the device in hand, in their carry-on luggage, or in a checked bag. The ban applies to all flights to, from, or within the US, according to a press release.
Passengers who try to take their Note7 on a plane will be denied boarding, according to the Department of Transportation. Anyone who violates the ban by packing their phone away "may be subject to criminal prosecution in addition to fines."
"We recognize that banning these phones from airlines will inconvenience some passengers, but the safety of all those aboard an aircraft must take priority," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in the press release. "We are taking this additional step because even one fire incident inflight poses a high risk of severe personal injury and puts many lives at risk."

Several airlines also announced a ban on Galaxy Note7s this weekend, ZDNet reported, including Australian airlines Qantas and Virgin Australia, European airlines Berlin Air, Finnair, and Alitalia, as well as Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong Airlines, HK Express, AirAsia, Etihad Airways, and Emirates.
This news follows last week's announcement that the UK's Royal Mail will not ship the phones at all. Meanwhile, in the US, FedEx and UPS will return them so long as they are shipped via ground transportation only, and packed in special boxes designed for faulty batteries.
The flight ban is just the latest in the disastrous Galaxy Note7 saga. In September, just weeks after the phone launched, Samsung and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a Galaxy Note7 recall after several reports of exploding batteries came to light. But users reported that the replacement phones suffered from the same battery overheating problems.
Last week, Samsung halted production and sales of the Galaxy Note7, and issued a second, expanded recall on all original and replacement Note7 phones. The company also increased their original incentive of a $25 credit for returning the phone to $100.
On Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Samsung tested the Note7's batteries at an in-house lab—the only smartphone manufacturer to do so. Samsung and the South Korean government have launched their own investigations into the overheating battery issue, according to Yonhap News Agency.
"The fire hazard with the original Note7 and with the replacement Note7 is simply too great for anyone to risk it and not respond to this official recall," said CPSC Chairman Elliot F. Kaye in the press release. "I would like to remind consumers once again to take advantage of the remedies offered, including a full refund. It's the right thing to do and the safest thing to do."
Customers who bought a Note7 from a retailer or carrier can return the phones there. Those who bought from Samsung directly must follow a five-step process involving three different types of boxes and safety gloves.
The 3 big takeaways for TechRepublic readers
On Friday, the US Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued an emergency order banning all Samsung Galaxy Note7 phones from air transportation in the US.
Travelers cannot bring the phones in hand, in their carry on bags, or in a checked bag. Those who violate the ban could face fines or criminal charges.
The flight ban comes a week after Samsung halted production and sales of the Galaxy Note7 phones, and issued a second recall for all original and replacement phones.

Martinez unconcerned about Lukaku's barren scoring run with Man United
BRUSSELS -- Belgium manager Roberto Martinez is not worried about Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku's recent goal drought and is backing the 24-year-old to overcome his barren spell.
Lukaku scored seven goals in his first seven games in the Premier League for United, following his summer move from Everton, but hasn't found the back of the net since a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sept. 30.
"I think Romelu is an out-and-out goal-scorer and his numbers reflect that," said Martinez in an interview with ESPN FC. "Only elite footballers get anywhere near his return in terms of goals so far in the Premier League. He'll tell you he's obsessed with the game, he wants to become better and work hard to fulfill the enormous potential that he has."
Martinez helped develop the striker while both men were at Everton and says the progress Lukaku has made in his career leaves him "happy" and "proud," pointing out that the player's age means he can still improve.
"He needs to be given a path and I think that path now is the move he had from Chelsea to West Brom, from West Brom to Everton and then after playing in Europe for Everton in an important role, going into Manchester United in a team that you're always expected to win; I think it's been a really interesting stage or path for Romelu," Martinez said. "Through that path you're going to have good moments, bad moments, but I think we're all aware that the enormous talent that he has in front of goal will allow him to go through any bad spell."
Romelu Lukaku has scored 11 goals in all competitions this season for Manchester United.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has urged fans to back Lukaku and stressed that he should be judged on more than goals.
For Belgium, Lukaku has not had any problem scoring and netted 11 in eight appearances -- at a rate of one every 57 minutes -- in World Cup qualifying, helping the Red Devils top Group H in UEFA qualifying to secure their place at Russia 2018.
Lukaku also benefits from working with Thierry Henry, a Belgium's assistant coach, and Martinez spoke to the experience the former French international can offer a team of which much is expected.
"Thierry's been through what these players are going through," said Martinez. "I think that's very important in the group. His attention to detail is second to none for someone who has been one of the best footballers of his time; to be able to pass on those experiences to our players is essential and, as you can imagine for strikers in the group, it's a really good opportunity to share experience and to give them knowledge that is very beneficial. His role has been fantastic and we need to use his experience going into the World Cup."
Martinez added that he believes Henry can make the step from assistant to head coach in the future.
"Absolutely, without a doubt. I think Thierry is one of those people who'll do whatever he wants to do. He's capable of doing that. It's only natural that further down in his career, whenever he feels that it is right and it's the right environment, he'll make that step up, without a doubt."
On Friday, Belgium face Mexico in a Brussels friendly, then take on Japan next Tuesday.

Any product is only as good as the materials used to create it. Pro Ice Cold Therapy Products will outperform any cold pack on the market today, all while delivering convenience and cost effectiveness. Our focus provided users with a wrap they could trust to do the job; at the precise moment the job needs doing. We have a virtually zero return rate. Why, because 6 months after our customers purchase our wraps they feel they underpaid for the product.
What do you want in a product?
Best materials, ease of use, portability specific to sports applications?
Ice wraps have 4 basic components: the cover, the icing component, the body facing, and compression.
We picked VelTex as the virtues of this material encompassed the primary, secondary and tertiary usage needs better than any other material.
VelTex™ is a patented loop fabric made by Velcro™. It will not fray out and become unusable after multiple applications (consumer value). With the use of our compression straps (ending in Velcro™ hook material) this affords a custom fit to any size player (versatility). This also addresses the various injuries and specific isolated trouble spots of any joint or body area without painful over compression for some types of injuries (intelligent design).
VelTex™ also has an insulator that provides multiple functions. It directs the cold down toward the body where it is needed; it does not allow the cold to radiate away in all directions (increasing cold time). With its cloth outer facing it helps prevent condensation (uncomfortable wetness). For court sports this adds a safety component byproduct as it will not make floors wet.
For proper icing everyone recognizes real ice. For centuries it was the option of choice. As real ice sublimates it stays a constant 32F until it is liquid then it ramps up in temperature, giving perfectly controlled temperature (32F) for maximizing therapeutic and anesthetic value. The problem here is volume, comfort and safety. Picture a volleyball tourney. After a match of, players diving and suplexing into the gym floor, they walk out with a 5 pound bag of ice for each knee and an 8 pounder for their back saran wrapped to them. As they shuffle to the bus they cut them off and leave them on the bus floor to be able to sit for transport back home. They got the right temp but not for the right amount of time.
How about gel packs? For the most part they ramp up in temperature from the moment they get next to a heat source(human skin) they slump when vertical giving them uneven temperature distribution and when compressed actually give less coverage to that specific area. Non migrating gel packs lessen these negative aspects but pose additional threats. Some actually freeze too cold and require more stringent observation during treatment to prevent tissue damage, most have toxic ingredients that require treatment or a cleansing regimen if punctured.
All single cell gel packs are rendered useless with a single tear or puncture.
Our solution is the patented window pane format cryoblanket. Our cryoblankets, like water are non-toxic, FDA approved food grade non-toxic. They have distilled water, paraffin, and glycol in trace amounts whose FDA warning is "irritation, redness may appear in fractional amounts of population exposed directly to it". Leakage and direct contact is extremely rare and again, ice and water themselves irritate and cause redness in small percentages of the populace.
What our inserts do achieve is phenomenal. They freeze (because of the glycol) at 27F. They sublimate like water keeping a constant 27F until all particles are liquid then start to ramp up in temperature (more slowly than water due to the paraffin). This temperature distribution window is 45 minutes to an hour providing perfect therapeutic and anesthetic application during normal 20-25 minute prophylactic icing and longer coverage up to an hour for pure pain relief. This is due to the retardation of the sublimation process from the paraffin.
The window pane format helps in various ways. It allows no slumping when vertical or horizontal, allowing perfect distribution of cold over the entire wrapped area. Our inserts are huge compared to most and still manage to weigh less. This allows us to give ice purists the quality of real ice with the convenience of a fraction of the weight, and more mobility, due to the hinge-like properties of the windowpane format. Oh yeah, compression, when you compress the cryoblanket against the treatment area the ice within the windowpane area can only go where you want it to. Again problem solved.
Pro Ice wraps last hours longer in our double insulated or any portable cooler.
This means they are game ready requiring no external power source for any away game and immediate non- locker/treatment room application.
One more added bonus if you puncture them you lose but one windowpane the wrap remains viable.
Bonus number two: all our wraps have removable inserts. You can wash your wrap and not prematurely age the ice. You can replace the consumed cryoblanket and not have to buy another wrap. And, you can buy additional inserts for other icing applications like staying cool for motocross or anesthetic extension and pain relief. You can also just buy inserts for the office and home without the expense of more wraps.
Just a note here….. some of our competitors use a purified or pasteurized water insert in a windowpane format. It does not have the staying power of Pro Ice for travel or extended use and is often higher priced. Unbelievable.
We simply use a nylon net or webbing .
It is naturally anti-microbial lessening odor and health risks and provides a small cushion to lessen initial cold reaction while the giving the cold time to reach anesthetic levels gradually. As opposed to other facings it takes less time for cold penetration this minimize treatment time at correct temperature.
We chose compression straps over a compression fabric cover for a reason. First, if the whole unit compresses when fit size is maximized the unit may over compress. We do not know or assume how big or small our customers will be. Our competitors often have tearing of the wraps as they attach to themselves, not a strap, and larger humans have to put pressures beyond the norm on them in order to utilize them. Our straps allow for gentle and strong compression. Even after they lose elasticity during years of use they work as bandages do by merely wrapping them with tension before applying the Velcro™ hook ends anywhere on the cover. This extends practical use.
Also, because of the adjustable compression and the ability to hook anywhere to the cover you get added benefits. Hooking anywhere to the cover allows you to custom apply the ice to any injury on any size human. Take a shoulder unit… if you have more pectoral problems stretch the compression strap over the pec muscle to increase compression there. Scap problems? Ditto. Or how about a rib injury you can apply ice that will stay on and not add extra pain from compression while the rib is healing.
