Halocarpus bidwillii, commonly known as the mountain pine or bog pine, is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand.

It is an evergreen shrub favouring both bogs and dry stony ground, seldom growing to more than  high. The leaves are scale-like on adult plants,  long, arranged spirally on the shoots; young seedlings and occasional shoots on older plants have soft strap-like leaves  and  broad. The seed cones are highly modified, berry-like, with a white aril surrounding the single  long seed.

Description
H. bidiwillii grows as a shrub. It grows up to  tall and has a short trunk that Kirk noted "rarely exceeds" 1 foot in diameter, and more commonly has a thickness between  at breast height. Its bark is red to brown and trunks have multiple branches, though will occasionally have just one. In some rare cases, as the horizontal branches grow, their roots will form a "bush" around the parent shrub. This creates a vast mini-forest that looks like a huge low tree or shrub. The parent tree may die, leaving its outliers intact which are thin and red.

Depending on the maturity of a mountain pine, the shrubs take on rather drastic differences in leaf appearance. In the juvenile state, leaves are linear, flat, and spreading, much like a pine tree, while in the mature state, its leathery leaves, 1–2 mm long, take on an overlapping scaled appearance, much like the scales of a fish. The leaves are green when fresh, but can become brown to red when they are dried out. During the flowering months of October to December, small male cones, 3–5 mm in length, are brown to red at the end of the pine's scale-like leaves. Stomata can be seen by the naked eye and seen as white spots. Pollen particles are solitary, terminal, ca. 3–5 mm long. Appendage is adnate to base of carpel, cortex, inverted, with a drooping ovule. The fruit of mountain pine consists of a dark brown, black-brown to purple-brown seed in a fleshy, waxy white cup. Seeds are 2–3 mm long, subglobose, compressed, with a white to yellow aril. The aril is V-shaped under the seed. Seeds are hairless, smooth, 3–4.5 mm long (including arils), and take on a dark brown or dark brown to dark purple brown appearance; seeds are also typically shiny, oval oblong, and compressed.

Bog pines are easily recognized when fruiting by the waxy white (very slightly yellowish) arils subtending the seed. Vegetatively compared with other species of Halocarpus, mountain pines have growth habits of smaller multibranched shrubs to small trees, weak keel-shaped leaves, and more slender, initially quadrangular branchlets. The seeds of the mountain pine are distinguished from H. biformis (with which it often confused with) by the ventral and dorsal surfaces which are usually significant longitudinally grooved (sometimes only on the ventral surface).

Taxonomy
Halocarpus bidwillii was first described by the British botanist Thomas Kirk in 1887, in an article in the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute, as Dacrydium bidwillii. He identified two variants that he differentiated mostly on the basis of branch and inflorescence (flower spike) shape. The alpha (α) or erecta variety had flat and ribbed leaves with slender branches, while the beta (β) or reclinata variety had distinct mid-rib leaves and stout branches. Harry Allan disputed the status of these varieties in his 1961 Flora of New Zealand (Vol 1), suggesting instead they were the result of hybridisation. It wasn't until 1982 when C.J. Quinn proposed an alternative taxonomy for the species based on ovule morphology and orientation, that the species obtained the current scientific name of Halocarpus bidwillii.

Etymology
The specific epithet bidwillii is in honor of John Carne Bidwill (1815-1853) who was an Australian botanist born in England and became the first director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney.

Phylogeny
Three separate studies using DNA sequencing, one in the year 2000, and two in 2002, have confirmed that the genus Halocarpus is monophyletic, as they all descend from a common ancestor, though the wider clade it is part of was found to be unresolved. A study in 2002 from the journal of Plant Systematics and Evolution found a relationship in which H. kirkii and H. biformis form a clade, to which H. bidwillii is sister. This was replicated in a previous study from 2000 in the Australian Journal of Botany.

Subsequent studies from 2011 and 2012 however, have found that H. bidwillii instead forms a clade with H. biformis, to which H. kirkii is sister. These studies, in the Journal of Botany and Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, used data from the GenBank as well as their own de novo sequencing. One study analysed MatK, trnL–trnF and ITS2 DNA, while the other used plastid and mitochondrial loci, 18S rDNA, 26S rDNA, and ITS2 DNA as well.

Distribution and habitat
Halocarpus bidwillii is endemic to New Zealand and grow from Coromandel to the extreme south; as the latitude increases, they are found at lower altitudes. In the North Island, it can be found in Taupo county near Rotoaira and in the central volcanic plateau and Kaingaroa plains. In the South Island, as the name implies, mountain pine are common in mountainous regions in Nelson, Canterbury, and Otago, with some plants found as high as  above sea level in the Canterbury alps. Mountain pine can also be found on Stewart Island directly at sea level.

The mountain pine has a wide range of habitats, but mostly prefers montane to subalpine habitats from 39º latitude southward. Within its range, the annual average temperature is 8.5℃, the coldest month average minimum temperature is −0.8℃, and the annual average precipitation is . In the North Island, mountain pine are found exclusively in montane to alpine habitats and usually between 600 and 1500 m elevation. However, mountain pine can also thrive in lowland conditions, and its presence on Stewart Island at sea level is an example of this. Mountain pine are also hardy plants growing in a wide range of ground conditions. Mountain pine can grow in both bog environments and in dry stony ground, with mountain pine growing extremely well in the Te Anau stony ground environment and just as effectively in wetland margins, frost flats, and riverbeds.

Mountain pine are one of the three most frost-resistant types of New Zealand conifers, and can typically resist frosts beyond −7 °C. Similarly resilient, mountain pine are often found in poor soils. True of many conifers, mountain pine actually prefer leached, low nutrient, and poorly drained soils, with many pollen diagrams showing that mountain pines thrive in infertile bogs. Although tolerant of frosts past −7 °C, mountain pines are typically found in environments with a mean annual temperature of 8.5 °C and an average minimum temperature of −0.8 °C. Mountain pine also live in environments that average  of precipitation a year.

Ecology
Thriving without true fruits, the mountain pine has few predators which are mostly herbivorous insects. Briefly, the 4 main categories of insects that prey on mountain pine are: beetles, sucking bugs, caterpillars, and mites. Weevils, a specific type of beetle, feed on all Podocarpaceae (mountain pine's taxonomic family), and larvae thrive in any kind of decaying wood, including mountain pine. More specific, scale insects, Eriococcus dacrydii, live on the stems and leaf scales of the Halocarpus species, and even more specific, (Dugdale, 1996) found a species of conifer associated moth that uses the mountain pine as its host plant, appropriately named Chrysorthenches halocarpi. The caterpillars of Chrysorthenches halocarpi feed on the mountain pine shoots and when too many are present, the mountain pine appears bronze and growth can be stunted. Finally, Tuckerella flabellifera, red mites with white scales from Tasmania, live on young mountain pine plants and presumably feed on the young leaves and wood.

In addition to insect predators, mountain pine also suffers from a nematode disease which is caused by the pine wood nematode. Infected trees are characterized by having yellow to brown or red to brown needles, wilting, and stopped resin secretion. In extreme cases, this disease can lead to death in which the wood takes on a blue appearance. Treatments for the disease are mostly done after tree death and consist of cleaning and cutting dead wood.

Phenology

Like all conifers, the mountain pine life cycle is dependent on cones. Male and female flowers are found on separate trees – male cones 3-5mm long are at the tips of branches  and female flowers grow solo or in pairs and form just below the tips of the branches. From the time of seeding, male conifers will take about 2–3 years to reach maturity. When they have matured, male cones appear during the flowering season which runs from October to December, but most often occurs during October and November. Depending on the exact location, cone development can vary with North Island mountain pine producing cones more toward the October end of the range. By the end of November, the once juvenile reddish cones take on more brown character and begin to shed pollen. Around this same time, ovules grow at the tips of the branches and once fertilized by the pollen they develop a white aril at the base. Seeds begin to develop in the following months up until the fruiting season, which occurs from February to June. By February, green fruits mature, but do not ripen until mid to early March. Once they begin to ripen, fruits ripen quickly and take on a purple to black colour similar to the shade of an eggplant.

The seeds themselves are only 3-4mm long and have regular grooves stretching the length of the seed. Mountain pine can often be confused with closely related H. biformis, but a key difference between these 2 species' seeds is that mountain pine seeds are typically smaller and squatter than those of H. biformis.

Uses
When Kirk first described the mountain pine, he declared it to be of "little economic value" except perhaps for firewood. Perhaps he was unaware at the time, but Kirk should've specified that mountain pine could only be used for firewood without its bark. Mountain pine is one of the few New Zealand conifers that is able to resist fire, mostly because of its thick bark, but also because of its ability to recover through basal resprouting after a fire event. Other uses of the raw wood include timber production for use in buildings and railway sleepers.

Another potential use for mountain pine could be for decoration. Kirk commented on the "attractive character" of mountain pine, citing its symmetrical growth, and suggested that it could become an ornamental plant. Aside from decoration and perhaps firewood, no other uses of mountain pine or its products have been described to date.

Insecticidal activity
One trait of the mountain pine that is recently receiving academic attention, but has not yet been realized by the commercial sector is the use of mountain pine plant extract as an insecticide. Extracts of mountain pine foliage have shown the presence of organic compounds like diterpenes, phyllocladane and isophyllocladene and extracts of mountain pine leaves were shown to have been toxic to the codling moth, and partially toxic to the housefly. In these experiments milled leaf powders of several conifers (including the mountain pine) were incorporated into the diet of several insects and the mountain pine powder had over 75% mortality rate on the codling moths tested, and 55–75% mortality on the houseflies tested. Potentially toxic effects of mountain pine extract have also been studied in the germination of lettuce seeds. Foliage extracts from mountain pine significantly (p < 0.01) reduced germination when the extract came from both juvenile and adult pines, which did not differ from each other. Aside from germination, both juvenile and adult pines inhibited root hair growth. (Perry, 1995) hypothesized that these inhibitory effects of mountain pine might be due to allelopathic potential, since mountain pine often grow without any other vegetation below their shrubs. Further research is needed before mountain pine extract becomes of any commercial value.

On August 2011, PT Kereta Api Indonesia launched an executive train "Argo Bromo Anggrek New Image" that equipped with wi-fi, which will facilitate passengers to access the internet for free on the train route Jakarta – Surabaya – Jakarta that carried 400 passengers everyday. PT KAI also provides quality cellular network in the train and the station. According to the Commercial Director of PT KAI, Sulistyo Wimbo Hardjito, there is no different ticket fares between Argo that equipped by wi fi and the regular Argo. the ticket of both of the Argos costs the same, 650K IDR. "Hopefully our efforts in comforting passengers can be successful, especially when they are in the station or on the go. So don't worry about losing phone service," he continued. In addition, PT KAI also installs plugs in each train that can be used to re-charge cell phone or laptop battery. They also installed a free public telephone in every area of the station. "We have six new stations that provide free public telephones, they are Gambir Jakarta, Bandung, Cirebon, Semarang, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta," he explained. President Director of XL, Hasnul Suhaimi said that Train is one of the most favorite transportation which carries millions of passengers throughout the year, especially when Idul Fitri arrived. In addition, he said, in Indonesia there are no trains that have Internet service until this day. "This idea came from Japan, where the passengers never sleep. They use cell phone or laptop to go online. So, that's the idea that being implemented in Indonesia," said Hasnul.

Let's get tactical, shall we?
Today I am sharing a method you can use to attract 30+ high-quality leads to your medical or dental practice.
This isn't expensive, nor is it complicated. In fact, it's a simple, proven 4-step system that can transform your practice starting this week.
To start, you need an offer. And by "offer" I mean a special deal that prompts people to action.
"Hey, come see us!" <<< This isn't an offer.
Does that mean drop your prices and lose all your profits? No way. I want you to be extremely profitable.
You may need to increase your prices so you can be more aggressive in your offers.
Whatever the case, create a compelling offer and put it into action. No need to wait for a certain time of year, for holiday time, or for your anniversary. Get started now.
Once you have your offer in place, you need a place to showcase it online. This is called a landing page.
Your landing page should be a concise page on the web that explains your offer.
It should also have a call to action, including a contact form with a place to put name, phone number and email address.
This page need not be long. Please do not use long paragraphs and hundreds (or thousands) of words.
The goal is to convey the value of the offer and compel someone to take action.
How do you do this? The best way is through a bulleted list that highlights the benefits of the offer.
Remember, the benefit is what someone gets out of your service. You may have heard that the most popular question in your buyer's mind is "What's In It For Me?" Explaining benefits answers that question.
Now that you have an offer and a place where people can take advantage of it, we need to get your target audience to that page.
The best cost-effective and accurate way to do this? Facebook ads.
Facebook ads is the perfect tool to get your message in front of your ideal audience at an affordable price. Facebook has the user base (almost 2 billion people) and the targeting capailities to reach whoever you want with pinpoint accuracy.
To get started, visit facebook.com/business/. Click the "Create Ad" button.
Age Range – Select the appropriate age range for your offer.
Other Demographic Indicators – You can also target by other demographics. If you have an offer for your child's first dental exam, target moms of young children. If you have a special promo for community heroes, target police/fire/emts. You get the idea.
In the actual ad, explain your offer to get people to click to your landing page.
You will also want to include a compelling image in the ad. Try not to use a picture that is clearly from a stock photo site. People know when they are looking at a blatant stock image and they easily overlook it.
Rather, take an image of an actual patient in your practice going through an exam (make SURE you have then sign a media release!), or an image of some of your team members smiling and enjoying their day. Experiment with different images.
Budget – Set your budget at a mere $20 per day. This will typically produce 1-2 leads per day, on autopilot, which can result in 30+ leads per month for your dental or medical practice each month.
When someone completes the form on your website, you will immediately be alerted via email that you have a new lead.
Now all you have to do is make sure that lead gets into your office, and then treat that person like you would any other new patient.
"Hey there, this is <YOUR NAME> from <YOUR PRACTICE>.
I saw that you sent in your information for our special offer of <EXPLAIN THE OFFER>.
It doesn't need to be any more difficult than that.
Why is this such an awesome system? The numbers are quite favorable to you. Let's do some quick math, using a "worst-case scenario" that can still make you a ton of money.
Let's say you're a LASIK surgeon who charges $4000 per procedure.
Now, assume you're generating leads at $20 each, which is on the high end. Let's also say you don't have great sales people, so those leads are only closing at 10%, which is on the low end.
That means you need 10 leads to get a patient. $20/lead x 10 leads = $200 cost on a $4000 procedure. That's a 20x ROI.
Put another way, you made $4000 off 10 leads. $4000/10 = $400. Meaning you spent $20 per lead, but you made $400.
However you want to track the math, it works in your favor. And remember, this is worst case scenario. I have clients all over the country beating these numbers.
I've seen this simple system work time and time again for my clients, and I want it to go to work for you too.
To help you reach success, I want you to apply for your free strategy session with me or one of my team members. You can do this by clicking the button below.
During this session, we will discuss your practice needs and goals, what you're doing for your marketing now, and what kind of compelling offer we can create in your market to make this 4-step system work for you.
The call will only be about 30 minutes long, if that. I want to respect your time and mine.
If you like the plan we create for you and would like some help getting started, I am going to offer you one of the few available spaces in my FB Patient Leads Program.
If it's a good fit for both of us, I know you will love working together to grow your new patient numbers and make more money in the coming year.
Click the button to complete the form below, and we'll talk to you soon!

Label Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru Les Quatre Journaux Louis Latour
A family business since its creation in 1797, Louis Latour is one of the most recognised traders/ famers in Burgundy. It has remained a family enterprise for over two centuries and is thus part of the closed circle of the Henokiens. It is now Louis-Fabrice Latour, representative of the 11th generation who is at its head. The Louis Latour house gradually formed a vast domaine, extending from Chambertin to Chevalier-Montrachet: 48 hectares, 28 in grand crus. It cultivates Pinot Noir for its reds and Chardonnay for its whites. Over the last thirty years, the company has also spread in the Ardèche, in the Var and in the Pierres Dorées region, also producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Maison is committed to a more ecologically friendly and respectful terroir by adopting responsible and sustainable agriculture (limitation of pesticides, compost and ploughing of certain parcels).
The Latour family own a part of Romanée-Saint-Vivant since 1898. The parcel next to Romanée Conti is called "Quatre Journaux", which is the ancient Burgundy measure of land that a winemaker could plough over in a day (0.8 ha). The grapes are hand picked and the wine, vinified using traditional methods, is then aged in oak barrels for 18 months. This spicy wine, perfumed with notes of cinnamon and terroir, has a mellow texture that peaks with a strong and persistent finish. Requires a minimum ageing of 15 years.

Working with celebrities such as Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran and Tom Cruise is all in a day's work for ICMS Bachelor of Event Management alumni Kiana Harvey.
Q: What is your current role?
I am currently working in the Sponsorship and Promotions department of Channel Seven on the morning breakfast show, Sunrise. I absolutely love it as every day is different and that's the beauty of the job. Whether I'm working behind the scenes of a weather cross, working with the 'Cash Cow', on a live studio concert or an onsite broadcast, there are many aspects to my role. Being behind the scenes of a live television program is extremely stressful and crazy, but seeing a show come together and seeing the things you have worked on become a success is what makes the role so beneficial and rewarding in itself.
Q: What career achievements are you especially proud of?
I recently worked on a promotional tour for American popstar Katy Perry whilst she was in Australia for both Sunrise and for my other employer, Sydney radio station 2DayFM. Being a part of the production team was an exciting and rewarding experience and a major learning curve as I had a lot of control over what would happen on the tour. Being able to witness the entire process from the early organising stages right to the end was an amazing experience and is definitely something I am very proud to have been a part of.
Q: How has your ICMS degree contributed to you achieving your professional goals?
My overall goal in life has always been to be a part of the entertainment and media industry, and being able to do it every day has been so fulfilling. In my team, we spend countless hours organising, writing and producing segments, live crosses and broadcasts, sometimes with big-named celebrities, but the best part about that is seeing the pieces coming together. The overall excitement from our Sunrise viewers is what makes the job so rewarding.
I've been lucky enough to work with the likes of Katy Perry, Tom Cruise, Ed Sheeran, Niall Horan and Robbie Williams, to name a few, in such a short amount of time after leaving ICMS, but the reaction and response from the audience is what makes the job so amazing.
Q: What were the major contributing factors to your decision to study at ICMS?
ICMS offers so many things that many other universities and colleges don't. What really attracted me to study at the college was the ability to travel whilst studying, and the Industry Training program which allows you to get a foot in the door for your future career. I think that being able to do this has added so much credibility to my resume and this is something that is often pointed out by professionals in my industry. The Industry Training at ICMS has opened so many doors for me.
Q: What were your highlights during your time at ICMS?
Being chosen for the inaugural ICMS New York Study Tour in my first year at ICMS is not only the highlight of my time at ICMS but an overall highlight in my life. Working on New York Fashion Week, going behind the scenes of some of the world's best venues and having that experience has opened so many doors for me and has broadened my professional and personal network.
Q: What would be your advice to someone considering studying at ICMS?
Be open and available to any and every experience that ICMS provides - even if it is just working on the Open Days or even O-Week! So many of these industries - from events, to property and hospitality - are about 'who you know' and you never know who you may meet at events like these. Get yourself known, be yourself and never be scared to let your voice be heard.
Q: What is the best thing about working in your industry?
No day is the same – ever. And that's the best thing as it keeps you on your toes and the days are much more exciting and rewarding!

Sara Hernández Barroso, née le  à Madrid, est une femme politique espagnole membre du Parti socialiste ouvrier espagnol (PSOE).

Elle est maire de Getafe depuis  et secrétaire générale du Parti socialiste ouvrier espagnol de la Communauté de Madrid entre 2015 et 2017.

Biographie

Formation et parcours professionnel
Résidant à Getafe depuis ses 8 ans, elle s'inscrit en droit à l'université Charles III. Elle y obtient tout d'abord une licence, puis un master en communication institutionnelle et politique.

Elle devient ensuite avocate et travaille dans deux cabinets distincts. Elle est en tout d'abord spécialisée en droit du travail, puis elle s'oriente vers le droit civil.

À la fin de l'année 2003, elle est recrutée à la mairie de Getafe, occupant le poste de directrice des Relations institutionnelles.

Rapides débuts en politique
Pour les élections municipales du , le maire socialiste Pedro Castro la place en deuxième position sur sa liste. Élue, elle est nommée première adjointe au maire, déléguée à la Présidence, aux Femmes, à l'Égalité et à la Sécurité publique, et porte-parole du groupe socialiste.

Passage dans l'opposition
À l'issue de son mandat, elle est de nouveau candidate au cours du scrutin du , en sixième position sur la liste socialiste. La gauche perd cependant sa majorité absolue, une première depuis 1979. Elle cède alors son rôle de porte-parole socialiste à Pedro Castro.

Pour les élections générales anticipées du 20 novembre 2011, elle est investie en dix-septième position sur la liste du PSOE dans la Communauté de Madrid, mais celle-ci ne totalise que dix élus au soir de l'élection.

Cadre du PSOE de Getafe
En , elle est élue, à 35 ans, secrétaire générale de la section de Getafe avec 55 % des voix, contre deux autres candidats et un taux de participation de 77 %. Au cours de l'année 2014, elle retrouve ses fonctions de porte-parole du groupe socialiste à la mairie, puis se fait investir tête de liste pour les élections municipales suivantes. En , elle est nommée au sein de la direction provisoire du Parti socialiste de Madrid-PSOE (PSM-PSOE) présidée par Rafael Simancas.

Maire de Getafe
Au cours de l'élection, qui se tient le , les socialistes obtiennent 27,3 % des voix et 8 élus sur 27.

Le , à la suite du vote des traitements des élus en conseil municipal, « Getafe Maintenant » annonce la rupture de l'accord d'investiture puisque les montants approuvés n'y sont pas conformes, tandis qu'elle explique chercher un gouvernement efficace et accomplir strictement le pacte conclu.

Elle dépose ses parrainages militants le  suivant, comptant avec l'appui de plus de 5 000 adhérents à jour de cotisation, contre environ 3 000 pour son unique adversaire, le député régional Juan Segovia, ce qui fait d'elle la favorite de l'élection.

Le jour de l'élection, elle totalise  voix, soit 57,7 % des exprimés dans le cadre d'une faible participation de 42,6 % des inscrits ; elle s'impose dans les grosses sections de Fuenlabrada, Mostoles ou encore Alcalá de Henares.

I've been enjoying myself assembling a variety of 4mm trolleys and barrows for Farthing.
I have yet to find a detailed study of the trolleys and barrows used by the GWR, although photos of platforms usually show some interesting examples. There's also a nice little assembly of photos of trolleys and barrows in Vol 2 of Stephen Williams' "Great Western Branchline Modelling", although these appear to be taken in the latter years of the company.


According to the National Institute of Mental Health, Anxiety Disorders affect 18.1 % of the population, or nearly 40 million adults between the ages of 18 and 54. Yet, despite this high number, many people with anxiety still feel totally alone.
And the list goes on. When anxiety gets hold of your thoughts, it's like sliding down a tunnel, getting further and further away from the light. However, if you are a high-functioning anxiety sufferer, then you experience all of these ideas with a smile on your face.
Many people who suffer from anxiety find that if they can keep themselves busy enough, that they won't succumb to the negative thoughts. The problem is, that, busyness, is an addiction, complete with tolerance and withdrawal. Over time, you have to be even busier to stop the thoughts from coming, because, just as the "Grinch" found regarding Christmas, you can't really stop thoughts.
What you Can Do, however is to look anxiety in the eye and stop running. Give it a name. Something non-threatening, like Carl. Say, "Hi Carl," every time you find yourself questioning your ability to make a proper peanut-butter and jelly sandwich, or nail a perfect downward dog.
Get to know Carl. Find the times of day, and in which places he tends to be the loudest. Know that, in his own unsuccessful way, he's actually trying to help you. Like a well-meaning grandmother who comments on your growing double-chin, he really doesn't want you to get hurt out there in the big, bad, world. That's why he's so hard on you.
Still, that doesn't mean you should listen to him! Like that well-meaning grandmother, he's misguided and out of touch. Tell him you understand what he's trying to do, but that it's okay for him to retire now. You've got this from here on out.
You can ask for help, and that's a good thing!
You are not a fraud, you are exactly who you were meant to be.
If you would like to talk more about how to handle your anxiety, contact me. I'm here to help!

(9/18/07) As amazing as it seems, we've been named the best NJTL tennis camp in the Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) for the second time in the past three years! This recognition comes because of the vast number of wonderful, dedicated, and enthusiastic kids who return year after year. Here they are:
These are the best kids in the Southwest. Who says so? They do:
It doesn't get better than this: Our wonderful coaches - Jessie, Kasia, Francisco, Samantha, and Peter.
Jessie Rochefort has superbly run the camp for the past four years. A graduate of the famous Bolletierri Tennis Academy in Florida, she's just completed a great career at the University of Arizona. Teammate Kasia Jakowlew, a top-ranked junior in Sweden, joined Jessie the following year and developed a great relationship with our kids, proving herself to be a wonderful coach. Wildcat Peter Zimmer is a welcome addition - he led Salpointe to the state championship several times and is now expected to lead the UA to the top of the Pac-10 this year. Francisco Gamez is a former camper, and was one of the best players in southern Arizona while attending Sunnyside. Sam Swartz joins us from 8-time state champs, Catalina Foothills. Where else in Tucson could anyone find this kind of coaching?
COACHES AT WORK
Jessie drills on court 1...
...while Sam teaches the li'l ones the correct followthrough on court 2...
...and Peter drills the boys on court 3....
...Kasia drills the intermediate players on court 4...
...and Francisco drills the boys on court 5, while Keyon does the "Picking up balls" dance in the background...
OH YEAH, CONDITIONING IS FUN!
At most camps, conditioning is agony. But at the SSTA, the kids hardly know that's what they're doing, it's so much fun!
Gabe dives to grab a ball...
Cookie sends Dior to the ground...
Brother against brother - look at Cristian's face -- now there's determination!
Daisy and Carla went at it!
The Dreaded Drop Drill!!!
On the third day of camp, the coaches had observed that campers weren't moving aggressively to the ball, and that when they got there, they were unprepared to put it where it should go. They decided to use the "Dreaded Drop Drill" to instill quickness and preparation.
Our coaches drop the ball over the net and campers have to sprint to tap the ball into one of the two center baskets. It's not as easy as it sounds...
...as Diana quickly finds out...
...Daisy shows nice touch...
...and Marco digs deep to chip a drop shot over the net.
Oh yeah, the Chain Race!!!
One of our most enjoyable - and exhausting - competitions is the chain race. Two teams line up and one player runs to net and back, grabs the hand of the next player and they run to net, and so on. This year, Jessie's Canucks were hoping to avenge their defeat last year at the hand of Kasia's Polacks.
The Polacks sprint to a slim lead...
...but the Canucks close the gap...
...Jessie urges her Canucks on...
...as Kasia looks anxiously on...
...as her Polacks win for the second straight year! Congratulations to all the competitors!!!
And then we play!
As each session winds down, campers go on court to play competitive tennis, both doubles and singles. We've found that drilling only does so much - our kids improve the most by playing points and matches, and they really enjoy it!
Cookie slams an overhead during his doubles match.
Alan sets for a forehand.
Dylan rips one.
Javy flies through the air.
Perfect forehand follow through: Alec has improved so much this year.
Perfect backhand follow through: Jesus rips a cross-court winner.
Linda attacks the short ball.
It's only Sarah's second day of camp, but she's already stepping in to the ball!
MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH...
It's Ryan's Birthday!!!
Ryan celebrated his 16th birthday yesterday, so today we decided to honor him with butt shots. However, our aim was off, and only Coach Paco managed a glancing blow. Happy Birthday, Ryan!
Ryan stands firm against the onslaught.
Injury Timeout!
Diana sprained her ankle during conditioning, but expects to be back at camp on Monday.
Diana can still smile, despite her injury.
And on court 4...
Gabe shows Kash that's he's perfected his finish.
Sam teaches the basics of the serve to her beginners...
...and 6-year-old Lupita executes it perfectly!
The Final Day!
Our final day of camp began as business as usual, with a match against the always-tough NJTL camp from Randolph Tennis Center...
Frank played great at #1 singles...
...meanwhile, Rafa and Tina watch his ball sail over the net...
...and the campers take an eegee's break before...
PRIZE TIME!!!
Once again, the Tucson tennis community came through - thanks to the Racquet Shack, the USTA Southwest Section, and the southern Arizona USTA for their generosity.
The campers eagerly line up for their shot at the prizes.
Francisco and Jessie enjoy their eegee's while urging on the kids...
... Keyon watches anxiously as his ball lands near a target. Each of the campers won at least one prize, ranging from new top-of-the-line tennis racquets to signed posters of the University of Arizona Wildcat team, all the way down to a box of Pringles. Thanks, sponsors!

for a wealth of resources and inspiration!
I love these stories of how QB Community members got their start. @SteveChase, @qbteachmt, @LeahIlanah, @QcFinancial, @Sangeethmathew - how about you? What first inspired you to work for yourself, and how did you go about setting up your own accounting businesses?
@Pen - how's it going with the new bookkeeping venture?? You must be swamped!
I love bookkeeping and was very surprised how many small business owners really struggle with it.
@SteveChase, I must admit I'm in the not-jazzed-about-bookkeeping camp as well. So many of our QB Community members are AMAZING at what they do but struggle with the money side of things. That's what why we appreciate all our ProAdvisors' guidance and support!


Interested problem fix out of service garage? In general, about this I you and tell in this article.
Repair garage - pretty complex it. Only not stand retreat. Solve this question us help hard work and patience.
Probably it seem unusual, however still sense ask himself: whether general fix your garage? may cheaper will purchase new? Me personally seems, sense for a start ask, how is a new garage. For it necessary make desired inquiry finder, eg, rambler or yahoo.
First sense search company by repair garage. This can be done using yahoo or popular community. If price fix you want - can think problem possession. Otherwise - in this case have do everything their forces.
If you all the same decided their hands practice mending, then first necessary learn how practice repair garage. For it one may use any finder, let us say, bing, or review issues magazines "Home workshop", "Model Construction", "Home master" and etc..
I hope this article least little help you repair garage.


This "Old Ironsides" (made from a Blue Jacket Ship Crafters kit) has special signficance to me because it was built at the height of the very worst part of my ordeal with Hell (back in 2000) and has itself seen just about every ghost, devil, and angel in the book. It was also at the time of its construction that all those cats died or had to be put to sleep. This model itself then has seen some real fighting.


This is correct. He even starts with the Federal Reserve. These "leaders" aren't just paving the way, they're rocketing us along at Bugatti speeds.
Here, he begins to drift. We do not have capitalism in Amerika. We have financialized corporatism. This second point, on the surface, is true. But, it's the result of 100+ years of interference, not from capitalists, but from the government and the banksters. He leaves off the bulk of the losses, focusing of buzz issues (and without delving too deeply into those).
In the end, Mathis goes off the AOC end. We have no such party in this nation-shaped place.
Americans are getting dumber. With an average IQ somewhere between 9o and 95, they literally can't understand what has happened to them. Ergo, the desperate reach for any other solution. There's also the dismal education of those already lacking normal intelligence.
Things, on paper and just for now, are better than they have been in a while. Maybe for just a tiny bit longer, we'll have some hollow prosperity floating around. When some people have a little money, other people feel the desire to spend it on yet more people. When – Mathis is right – things really go south, the peeps will keep clamoring for freebies.
The people behind the system keep pushing socialism. The falsely exclusive "either capitalism or socialism" is part of the plan. Particular economic (and political) systems are really irrelevant; the masters just pick one or two and run. The ultimate goal is omnipresent Satanic globalism.
That last bit is what we're truly rushing headlong into.
Harsh but true – and nicely couched in EUROPEAN terms, just in case… No arguments here.
*I fully support shutting down the government – permanently is okay with me.
*Without a shutdown, criminal justice reform is probably a good idea (though I haven't seen the details).
*Wall or No Wall? The 2020 question.
*Good riddance to another swamp rat.
This is one of those posts that could easily run on for 3,000 words. So, in the dual interests of brevity and laziness, I'm going to keep it as short as possible.
Note: I have an initial feeling that all the following matters are interrelated, especially the issues related to the linked final story.
The robots are coming for your jobs. With issues like this lingering, growing, it's no wonder people are fearful and depressed. This is a real developing trend.
One-quarter of Americans never going outside.
"We are increasingly turning into a generation of indoor people where the only time we get daylight and fresh air mid-week is on the commute to work or school," Peter Foldbjerg, the head of daylight energy and indoor climate at VELUX, a window manufacturing company, said in a statement.
VELUX commissioned the "Indoor Generation Report," published Tuesday, that found 77 percent of Americans don't believe that breathing air inside is any worse than pollution outside.
It's unclear how dangerous indoor air is in the modern era — reports by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency evaluating indoor air quality are from 1987 and 1989, which found that it is two to five times more polluted than outside.
Humidity, mold growth, inadequate temperature and being in close quarters with other people are all cited risks associated with poor air quality indoors.
It's a big, beautiful world out there. I'm typing this outside as I add some of Nicaragua's finest vaporized tobacco leaves to the air quality.
The Millennials are more stressed compared to older generations.
Twenty-seven percent of millennials said that stress often bothered them at work, compared to the 12% of baby boomers that said the same. Millennials were the group most likely to have stress interfere with their work. About a third of millennials (34%) said that they felt stress made them less productive, while only 19% of their older colleagues felt the same.
Why do millennials feel so stressed out? Increasingly insecure job prospects and overwhelming workloads, MHF believes.
"Millennials are more likely to have insecure contracts, low rates of pay and high entry-level workloads. The pressures they face in today's employment market are very different to past generations," MHF's Richard Grange said.
Major Depression Diagnoses up 33% in 5 years. That's a sobering report. Read it, especially if you're under 35.
We've got the numbers, they've got the rate of growth. Blue Cross.
This report, while eye-opening, is the product of the insurance industry. I smell money. Look at the information and graphs about pills. It's interesting. These people and their pharma friends make big money pushing dope – for depression and everything else under the sun. That's costly though it's clear they'd like to avoid larger costs via payouts for associated auxiliary treatments. It makes sense for their bottom line. It makes little sense for the people.
As I stated at the beginning, all of this stuff is related. There's a hard link between the mental issues and the heart/obesity/etc. physical epidemic. And with those and the fears, the indooring, the stress, and a thousand other factors.
Plainly put: American society is fractured, faltering, and increasingly trivial, idiotic, and insane. Plainer: it looks like decline. Already approaching 1,000 words, I'll end here. More on this subject, I think, sooner than later – especially regarding the younger generations. I'm already planning a related piece for next week's TPC column. For now, draw your own conclusions. Maybe step outside for a bit. Exercise. Kick a bot.
The great concern of the people is that Facebook violated their privacy and misappropriated their cherished personal information: email addresses, voting habits, cat pictures, etc. Zuckerberg admitted as much, roundaboutly. Hence, the popular clamor for regulation: if not from Big Social, then by Big Brother.
Now for my funny, impromptu thought. Remember Uncle Remus? Surely your parents read to you those beloved moral stories by Joel Chandler Harris. It seems to me that what I witnessed on the Tube was, literally, a meeting between a sly, elitist, globalist corporatist and a bunch of mid-witted, elitist, globalist statists. Allegorically, I saw an Uncle Remus tale unfold.
The American people played the part of Br'er Rabbit. Facebook and Zuck represented Br'er Fox. Uncle Sam was Br'er Bear. Play along here… The happy little rabbit, while busily posting meal pictures and juvenile memes, noticed the mean old fox was cheating him. Incensed, the rabbit angrily demanded action, either from the fox or from Br'er Bear. In other words the hapless bunny tattled on the small predator to the large predator. Seems risky to me.
This is a new, weekly feature column and the start of what will surely become National $yndication. You can help. Call or email your local fish wrapper and request demand they carry my column$. Thank$ a million.
Trump set off a firestorm, yesterday, with comments, or a question (which he kind of disavows now) about where our immigrants come from. I thought the question articulate, if a bit vulgar, and if he asked it.
The media, the UN, and other vehement anti-Westerners have taken the novel (never heard before!) approach of calling Trump a "racist" and a "Nazi." Hmmm.

Blog 9000 - LinkedIn: What causes a company to fail?
LinkedIn: What causes a company to fail?
(1) I believe that the number one reason why companies fail today is because few know how to recognize talent & promote from within. An MBA from Harvard is no substitute for a home-grown account who knows both your business model, as well as your industry. Also, unlike yesterday's "Peter Principle", another problem today is that someone who is competent at what they are doing is simply too valuable to promote?
(2) Next, companies stumble when they can no longer define, refine, support, and / or market a clear company (or business unit) mission statement.
(3) Finally, the inability to understand, obtain, and / or support pro-active mission support and / or delivery personnel is also far too common these days.
In retrospect, I also see that more "missions" than ever are failing simply because folks have far-outsourced their trust to cheap and / or inexperienced talent.
Yet in general, one typically only gets what one pays for. Indeed, well before our present problems with far-outsourced meltdown, 80% of all IT Projects failed. --Can anyone possibly expect that number to DECREASE when adding opposing languages, time-zones, cultures, as well as thousands of miles, into the mix?"


The Langholm Library was founded in 1800. Like many libraries at the time it was a subscription library, that is to say, members paid an annual subscription and the money raised was used to buy books and defray administrative costs.
In 1834, the library received a bequest from Thomas Telford, who was born at Glendinning and educated in Westerkirk. Telford was the greatest civil engineer of his day, responsible for a long list of building projects including roads, bridges, canals, aqueducts, harbours, fenland drainage, public buildings and churches. He never married, and in his will made bequests to a list of individuals, most of whom he had met and worked with during his career. To Langholm Library he left £1000, the capital to be invested and the interest used for buying books. In 1851, from the residue of his estate, a further sum of £2000 was added, the interest on this also to be used for buying books.
In 1853 Langholm Library absorbed the Langholm Trades Library (founded 1813). Since 1974, it has been a reference and local studies collection under the control of the Langholm Library Trust.
Today the collection consists of about 5,000 volumes including some items published in the eighteenth century and many books of local interest. There is also an important collection of books formerly belonging to Hugh MacDiarmid and bearing his autograph.

Q: md-slider not updating when its model value is updated from controller My HTML code is following which contains md-slider
<body ng-app="ABC">

    <div class="ctrl" ng-controller="mainCtrl">

    <md-slider ng-model="threshold" md-discrete min="1" max="100" aria-label="threshold"></md-slider>

    </div>
</body>

This is my controller:
angular.module("ABC", ["ngMaterial"])
       .controller("mainCtrl", function ($scope) {

    $scope.threshold = localStorage.getItem("myExtThreshold");
});

When I slide the slider using mouse, threshold is updated in controller. However when I change threshold in controller, the slider position doesn't change. For example, if I change threshold value from 20 to 60, and I use console.log($scope.threshold) the value shown will be 60 but the md-slider remain at 20.
localStorage.getItem("myExtThreshold") returns valid numeric value.

A: Try this in the controller. Of course nothing wrong with your code. just making the return value to be a number
$scope.threshold = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("myExtThreshold"))

Book review: Tough Without a Gun: The Life and Extraordinary Afterlife of Humphrey Bogart
Tough Without a Gun: The Life and Extraordinary Afterlife of Humphrey Bogart
By Stefan Kanfer
Published by: Borzoi Books, aka Alfred A. Knofp, Random House, 2011
Review copy purchased by reviewer
Review by Ida Vega-Landow
This has got to be one of the best books I ever read about one of my favorite celebrities! I've been a Bogie fan for as long as I can remember, and I've read a lot about him as an actor and a man, but nobody humanizes him as completely as Stefan Kanfer does. He goes into great detail about Bogie's background and life—his socialite parents, the exclusive prep school that he dropped out of, his brief naval career and less than successful acting career on Broadway before he got his big break in the movies, his three failed marriages before he met Lauren Bacall—but he never gets boring, judgmental or moralistic. This Stefan Kanfer is a straight-shooter; he tells it like it was for one of America's greatest male show business icons, and lets us be the ultimate judges on what kind of man Humphrey Bogart was.

Proper nutrition is such an instrumental component of performance, yet is overlooked by 90% of the racers at the starting line. A few years back, a research project associated with human performance (equipment, altitude training, endurance training, strength training, etc.), revealed that the most powerful influence on performance was attributed to hydration and nutrition habits. Nail your nutrition and the results were stellar; miss your nutrition (even by a little) and the results were devastating.
After spending the last six to eight months training for your big race, the last 24 hours should be quite simple – exercise lightly, hydrate properly and eat correctly (quality & quantity).
Muscle glycogen is the major energy source during training and especially racing. When your sugar storages (in your liver and muscles) are depleted, your ability to go fast for any period of time will be diminished.
Blood sugar is the major fuel for the brain (from your liver) and muscles during training and racing; the higher the intensity, the quicker your body depletes itself of sugar.
When a muscle becomes dehydrated by as little as 3%, that muscle can lose between 10-20% of its contractile strength and also incurs an 8% loss of speed.
Proper nutrition is all about topping of your body's natural fuel tanks (muscles and liver) to ensure that you have enough stored energy to finish your race strong. By choosing the correct foods at the correct times, you can delay the onset of fatigue on race day (as outlined below).
Morning of the Race (75-150 grams of carbohydrates depending on your body size) – Consume your last meal two hours before your race start time to allow for complete digestion and purging in a relaxed environment. Food items should be easily digestible and of the highest quality: real food smoothie, almond butter on a bagel or toast, slow cooked oatmeal with raisins, 2-3 egg omelets with a bowl of brightly colored fresh fruit.
After the Race – Liquid calories are the easiest to consume and are converted quickly to "feed" the body's needs: protein for muscle regeneration and sugar for the muscles and the liver.
By implementing these nutritional tips and hitting proper hydration levels, you will see your body produce new levels of speed and a new level of performance! Work Smart, Not Hard!

President Donald J. Trump looks out the window of Cadillac One to wave to thousands of supporters who lined FM 2100 and Foley Road to catch a glimpse of the POTUS. Trump was in town to sign executive orders to boost oil and gas.
People started gathering at Cody Kouba's business Driftwood Pool Services around noon — it was about four hours before the president would arrive.
His lot is on Foley Road directly across from the International Union of Operating Engineers International Training and Education Center, where President Donald Trump addressed an invite-only crowd to talk about his executive orders aimed at expediting growth in the oil and gas business.
American flags were all over the lot. People brought Trump 2020 signs. Several people brought homemade signs.
One boy held a sign that read, "Honk 4 Trump," which several passing motorists did.
Kouba, who also has a pipeline business, wanted to support the oil and gas business as well as give people an opportunity to see the presidential motorcade, so he opened his 6-acre lot to anybody who wanted to be there.
The lot runs right up to the road down which the presidential motorcade passes. There were Harris County police officers and Secret Service agents there, but Kouba said he was never contacted about any potential security issues.
People of all ages were there. There were several kids whose parents let them stay home from school for a chance to see the presidential motorcade.
Kouba grew up in Crosby on Foley Road and still lives on Foley Road. He said that, being a local, he saw a bunch of people that he had gone to school with.
One of the highlights during the hours of waiting was a 5-ton armored truck, which Michael Pohorily brought.
He doesn't bring the truck out often (though he said it is a completely street legal vehicle which he has car insurance for).
He mostly brings it out for parades. He used it to pick up a couple of hundred people during Hurricane Harvey.
American flags adorn the truck at all times, but Pohorily put a large Trump/Pence 2020 banner on the sides of the truck for the event.
He let kids climb in it and blew the loud train horn a couple of times.
When the presidential motorcade finally drove by and turned into the training center, everybody grabbed their phones and started taking pictures and videos and they waved and cheered.
The cameras and cheers returned when the presidential motorcade pulled out of the training center about an hour later.

Gehlot Govt throws the Gujjar quota ball into Centre's court
( Read 2974 Times)
27 Feb, 19 09:33
Jaipur: In a situation where reservations for Gujjars has failed to pass judicial scrutiny in the past with the Rajasthan High Court, on three earlier occasions, quashing the quota given to Gujjars and four other communities, the Ashok Gehlot government has worked out a solution to pacify the agitating Gujjars by giving them five percent reservation and by simultaneously passing a pledge (Sankalp) in the Assembly asking the Centre to raise the total reservation percentage. This can be done only by convening a special session of Parliament and by passing a bill for higher quotas to the Gujjars in the line of the constitutional amendment creating a 10 per cent quota for economically weaker sections.
The central reservations now stand at 59 per cent and in some states, the quotas have crossed the 60 per cent mark. In Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, the quota is just a tad short of the 80 per cent mark. With each state having its own priority and amid the clamour for higher OBC quota, the Supreme Court-directed 50 per cent upper ceiling on quota has become a big hindrance in providing reservation to various backward communities who are demanding reservations in government jobs and in educational institutions.
The Ashok Gehlot government amended the Rajasthan Backward Classes Act (reservation of seats in an educational institution in the state and of appointments and posts in government services).
The Amendment of Section 3 of Rajasthan Act No 38 of 2017 was substituted by two new amendments relating to annual permitted strength for admission into such educational institutions and courses in the state.A new category of More Backward Classes has been introduced. For this new category, reservation in appointments and educational institutions will be five per cent.
Apart from the Gujjars, certain castes like the Banjaras (nomads), Baldiya, Labana, GadiyaLohar, Gadoliya, Raika, Rebari, Debasi, Gadariya, Gadri, Gayari, are now specially categorised as More Backward Classes.They were provided with just one per cent reservation from within the 50 per cent limit, but now after the amendment, they would be provided with a total of five per cent reservation.The total reservation of backward classes as a whole would become 26 per cent from 21 per cent
The existing 16 per cent for SCs and 12 per cent for the STs will remain unchanged.
Economically weaker sections (EWS) would get 10 per cent quota as approved by the Centre after the constitutional amendments. The Rajasthan VidhanSabha also passed this and it will be implemented immediately.
But, this will take total reservation upwards of 64 per cent which is far more than the constitutional provision.This requires the amendment of the Constitution to become effective. The Assembly passed a pledge resolution (Sankalp) urging the Union government to include this five per cent quota in the Ninth Schedule through a constitutional amendment.The Gujjars have been fighting for quota since 2006 and in the past 13 years, they have been given reservation five times. On four occasions, the bills were introduced in the Vidhan Sabha.In 2008, the Congress government headed by Ashok Gehlot gave five per cent reservation to the Gujjars and 14 per cent to the economically backward general category persons.This quota became effective in January 2009 but was stayed by the Rajasthan High Court within seven days.Again in the year 2012, on the recommendation of the Other Backward Class Commission, the Ashok Gehlot government gave a reservation of one per cent to the More Backward Classes.
On the third occasion, in the year 2015, the BJP government passed a Bill where, apart from Gujjars, five other communities were given five per cent reservation. But in 2016, the High Court again quashed the quota.The then VasundharaRaje government went to the Supreme Court to challenge the order where the matter is still pending.
The erstwhile Raje government, in December, 2017, without waiting for the orders on the Special Leave Petition (SLP), brought a Bill and gave the Gujjars and other communities one per cent reservation as More Backward Classes which they are still getting.The present Congress state government, under the Rajasthan Backward Classes (Reservation of seats in educational institutions in the state and of appointments and posts in services under the state ( Amendment) Bill,2019, which has now become an Act, has the power to prescribe percentage of reservation.
"Article 38 of the Constitution enjoins upon the State that it shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and protecting as effectively as it may, a social order in which justice, social, economic and political, shall inform all the institutions of national life. It further mandates that the State shall, in particular, strive to minimise inequalities in income and endeavour to eliminate inequalities in status, facilities and opportunities, not only amongst individuals but also amongst groups of people residing in different areas or engaged in different vocations. Article 46 of the Constitution also mandates that the State shall promote, with special care, the educational and economic interest of the weaker sections of the society," said Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Shanti Dhariwal.Though the principle of proportionality is not applicable under Articles 330 and 332, however, the proportion of the backward classes to the total population of the State is a relevant factor while determining the extent of the reservation.
"When the Central government provided reservation to backward classes in the year 1993, the proportion of the population of backward classes at the national level was 52 per cent and the reservation provided was 27 per cent. Since the population of the backward classes in the state of Rajasthan is estimated by the State Backwards Classes Commission to be about 52 per cent, therefore looking to the volume of the population, the percentage of reservation for the backward classes need to be increased.Since all the castes included in the list of backward classes are at different stages of social and educational development and therefore the objectives of directive principles of the State policy mandated in the Act cannot be fully achieved unless these classes are sub-divided in backward and More Backward Classes ( MBC) according to the level of their social and educational development.
Thus the government proposed that instead of delegating power to the state government for prescribing percentage of reservation, the provision of the percentage of reservation for more backwards classes should be made by amending the Act's section three and four. The Bill was introduced with this sole objective and passed" added Dhariwal.

Long-Term Mortality Trends After Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty
Jie J. Yao, Mario Hevesi, Megan M. O'Byrne, Daniel J. Berry, David G. Lewallen, Hilal Maradit Kremers
Background: Long-term mortality following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is lower than the general population. However, it is unknown whether this is true in the setting of revision TKA. We examined long-term mortality trends following revision TKA. Methods: This retrospective study included 4907 patients who underwent 1 or more revision TKA between 1985 and 2015. Patients were grouped by surgical indications and followed until death or October 2017. The observed number of deaths was compared to the expected number of deaths using standardized mortality ratios (SMR) and Poisson regression models. Results: Compared to the general population, patients who underwent revision TKA for infection (SMR, 1.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33-1.57; P < .0001) and fracture (SMR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.00-1.34; P = .04) experienced a significantly higher mortality risk. Patients who underwent revision TKA for infection and fracture experienced excess mortality soon after surgery which became more pronounced over time. In contrast, the mortality risk among patients who underwent revision TKA for loosening and/or bearing wear was similar to the general population (SMR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.89-1.02; P = .16). Aseptic loosening and/or wear and instability patients had improved mortality initially; however, there was a shift to excess mortality beyond 5 years among instability patients, and beyond 10 years among aseptic loosening and/or wear patients. Conclusion: Mortality is elevated soon after revision TKA for infection and fracture. Mortality is lower than the general population after revision TKA for loosening and/or bearing wear but gets worse than the general population beyond the first postoperative decade.

The Castro's 30th anniversary weekend getaway!
Sending Monica and Ruben Castro on a weekend getaway of their choosing to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.
$3,000 is needed to feed hungry kids. With a high percentage of low-income and transient, families in the area, many children are arriving at school hungry, with little or no access to healthy meals.
Fairview Community Schools are in an area of Nanaimo where a significant number of families are struggling to make ends meet. $10,000 will provide basic nutrition to 85 students each day.
The school's kindergarten program includes nature walks to forests and beaches and students need backpacks. However, some parents are unable to afford backpacks, making it difficult for them to participate. The school is asking for $1,872 for backpacks.
