Droga ku Szczęściu (dawniej niem. Kayserweg) – droga w południowo-zachodniej Polsce, w woj. dolnośląskim, powiat kłodzki.

Jest to droga lokalna w Górach Orlickich, prowadząca z Dusznik-Zdroju do Zieleńca.

Przebieg drogi
Droga zaczyna się na wysokości 575 m n.p.m. w dolinie górnej Bystrzycy Dusznickiej, w południowo-zachodniej części Dusznik-Zdroju. W odcinku początkowym droga trawersuje stok góry Ołtarz. Następnie prowadzi Doliną Strążyską, gdzie biegnie wschodnim zboczem Stołka, Wilczym Zboczem i mija wieś Graniczna, a następnie przechodzi pod Sołtysią Kopą, gdzie w okolicy nieczynnego kamieniołomu łączy się z drogą wojewódzką nr 389, (zwanej Drogą Orlicką). Droga ku Szczęściu prowadzi lasem regla dolnego i na długości około 6 km pokonuje różnicę wzniesień 335 m.

W przeszłości droga stanowiła jedną z najbardziej popularnych tras turystycznych. Korzystali z niej głównie kuracjusze z Dusznik, wędrując nią do Zieleńca i na Orlicę przez Złotą Sztolnię. Przed wojną nosiła nazwę miejscowego inspektora leśnego, Kaysera. Obecnie nadal jest popularnym wśród turystów i uczęszczanym szlakiem.

Daniel Rodriguez, a fourth-year honors student, Communication Analysis & Practice (CAP) major with a minor in Theatre, has not flown under the radar in his four years as a Buckeye. Rodriguez excelled as a leader of multiple student organizations, took advantage of the school's many opportunities and even became a published author.
In his time at Ohio State , Rodriguez served as the head mentor and co-curriculum developer for the Latino Leadership Development Institute, became the youngest president of the Speech and Debate team in university history and is a three-time president in the class honorary system. He is also a founding member of the Student Philanthropy Council, a member of the 2016 Homecoming Court and a recipient of the university's Outstanding Senior Award. Rodriguez was also recently awarded the Susan M. Hartmann Mentoring and Leadership Award. He is the first male recipient of the award and only the second student, undergraduate or graduate, to receive it.
Publishing a book comprised of poems and short stories was a goal Rodriguez worked toward since he was very young. Using his grandfather's published book of children's stories as inspiration, Rodriguez vowed that he would one day publish a book with his name on the cover. The people and programs at Ohio State helped drive this endeavor.
The publishing process took three years, from September 2013 to September 2016, and was possible through the funding from his involvement in the Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP).
However, Rodriguez's interests do not lie solely in the world of communications. He is minoring in theatre, with a specialization in acting, and has recently become involved with voiceover projects. In March, he co-hosted TEDxOhioStateUniversity: Precipice. The Theatre Department and the Automotive Research Department led him to this opportunity as well as one with Honda Motor Company, where Rodriguez helped develop a curriculum and record a program to help teach English to their factory workers.
For Rodriguez, the transition from his small hometown to the melting pot that is Ohio State was something that he desired to gain from his college experience. The people he met and the friendships he made at Ohio State made the journey worthwhile.


In the field of animal nutrition, butyrate is used as a zootechnical ingredient and can be used as an unprotected salt or in the form of protected derivatives such as butyrate glycerides or butyrate-loaded matrices. Dietary butyrate supplementation has been shown to improve growth performance and resilience of broiler chickens through distinct mechanisms, operating on both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Firstly, butyrate influences endogenous avian cells in multiple ways: it is an agonist of free-fatty acid receptors, an inhibitor of pro-inflammatory pathways, an epigenetic modulating agent and acts as an energy source. Secondly, butyrate influences the microbiota residing in the avian gastrointestinal tract (GIT) as a result of its bacteriostatic properties. The responses, e.g. changes in growth performance, gut morphology, carcass traits or nutrient digestibility of chickens, to dietary butyrate supplementation are inconsistent with factors such as additive inclusion level, diet composition, age and health status of the bird modulating the effects of butyrate and its derivatives. For many derivatives, the precise GIT segment wherein butyrate is released is unclear. Release location may affect the observed responses to butyrate given the diversity of cell types and pH conditions encountered throughout the gastrointestinal tract of poultry, and the differences in microbiota composition in the different gut segments. As a consequence, our understanding of the mode of action of butyrate is hampered. Characterisation of existing derivatives and development of targeted-release formulations are, therefore, important to gain insight in the different physiological effects butyrate can elicit in broiler chickens.

Singer Charlie Rich protests John Denver's big win at the CMA Awards
In a 35-year career that ran from the rockabilly genius of "Lonely Weekends" (1960) to the Countrypolitan splendor of "Behind Closed Doors" (1973), the versatile and soulful Charlie Rich earned eleven #1 hits on the Country charts and one crossover smash with the #1 pop hit "The Most Beautiful Girl" (1973). The man they called the Silver Fox displayed a natural talent for pleasing many different audiences, but his non-singing performance before one particular audience in 1975 did significant damage to the remainder of his career.
On October 13, 1975, the man voted Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association of America one year earlier stood onstage at the CMA awards show to announce that year's winner of the Association's biggest award. But a funny thing happened when he opened the envelope and saw what was written inside. Instead of merely reading the name "John Denver" and stepping back from the podium, Charlie Rich reached into his pocket for a cigarette lighter and set the envelope on fire, right there onstage. Though the display shocked the live audience in attendance, John Denver himself was present only via satellite linkup, and he offered a gracious acceptance speech with no idea what had occurred.
In the aftermath of the incident, Charlie Rich was blacklisted from the CMA awards show for the rest of his career. But what point was he trying to make, exactly? It was widely assumed at the time that Rich was taking a stand on the side of country traditionalists upset at a notable incursion of pop dabblers into country music at the time (Olivia Newton-John, for instance, had won the Most Promising Female Vocalist award in 1973). But Rich himself was often accused of being "not country enough," so that may not have been his intent. While it made better newspaper copy to suggest that he specifically resented John Denver's win, Rich was also, by his own admission, on a combination of prescription pain medication and gin-and-tonics that night.
As his son, Charlie Rich, Jr., has written of the incident, "He used bad judgment. He was human after all. I know the last thing my father would have wanted to do was set himself up as judge of another musician."

Even though trying to cut through all the mawkishness and cloying sentimentality is as tough as a $6 steak, "Breakthrough" gets points for its admittedly moving story and showing the way teens come together and rally. Problems do arise when the film alludes to the idea that faith is what ultimately saved John, and its unwilling to confront the "why me?" question, yet it manages to be captivating, if obvious.

Find out how you can fix the dreaded "no SIM card" error.
Have you tried inserting a SIM card on your Android phone and it shows a "no SIM card" error? I feel your pain. I tend to change my SIM cards frequently to avoid my exes, and changing them is never easy. Aside from the struggle to pry open my phone's back cover, I need to coax the old SIM card and replace it with a new one. Oftentimes, I get the dreaded no SIM card error. A no SIM card error can sometimes occur even if you're not changing your SIM.
There are a few reasons why your phone cannot detect your new SIM card. The usual reason is that the card was not inserted properly. So you need to make sure that the SIM card fits snugly into the tray. Since SIM cards are usually sold attached to larger wallet-size cards, removing the SIM card often results in bending and even breakage. Make sure to straighten a bent SIM card if that's the case.
In this article, I will lay out some of the techniques that I use for fixing the no SIM card error problem.
Restarting your mobile device is the easiest and quickest way to fix the no SIM card error. Restarting your phone refreshes most applications and software in your device, thereby fixing any minor errors. Oftentimes, your smartphone failed to detect the new SIM card and needs to be restarted to be able to do so.
Sometimes, in our hurry or excitement to use our new SIM card, we fail to place it securely on its tray. If the SIM card is not placed firmly and securely on the tray, your phone will lose connection to the card and this will result in network errors.
Make sure that your SIM card is flat – not bent – before placing it on the tray. Some SIM cards are "triple cut" or 3-in-1 SIM cards, which means that they contain a regular, a micro, and a nano SIM card. If you're using a 3-in-1 SIM card, the smaller cards (micro and nano) may bulge, so be sure to flatten the entire SIM card before inserting it into your device.
A triple cut or 3-in-1 SIM card.
Some people use adhesive tape or a piece of paper to affix the SIM card securely in its place. You can use this trick if you think that the tray is too wide or loose.
Take a look at your SIM tray and check if it's dirty or full of dust. Blow out the dust particles or gently wipe the tray with a clean cloth or tissue. You can also wipe clean the SIM card in case there are fingerprints or dirt on it.
If cleaning the SIM card or tray doesn't resolve the issue, try using a different SIM card on your device. If other SIM cards work perfectly on your phone, then the problem is with your SIM card and not with your phone. In that case, bring the SIM card to your carrier to have it replaced.
Toggling airplane mode in Android.
Toggling airplane mode (or flight mode) on your mobile device may fix the no SIM card error. Pull down the notifications pane or go to Settings and switch airplane mode on. Wait for one minute and then switch it off. This will force the phone to look for available networks and hopefully solve the no SIM card error issue.
Make sure that your network mode is set to automatic or that your phone automatically chooses the network. Go to your Settings, choose Mobile Networks (or something similar), and then under Network Mode, select LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto-connect). In other Android phones, you can simply switch on a button to choose the network automatically.
This method is a last resort and should not be attempted if you don't know what you are doing. I will not be held responsible for anything that will happen should you attempt this procedure.
Resetting your device to factory settings will wipe out all data on your phone as well as all third-party application installed on it. So before you attempt this method, please back up all data to the cloud or to an external drive.
Most Android phones have the option to back up your data to the cloud or to Google's servers. Just go to Settings, then look for Backup and Restore (or Backup and Reset) and switch it on. Make sure that Automatic Restore is toggled on.
Once all your data is backed up, tap Factory Data Reset. Your phone will then automatically reboot with a clean slate. Check if it's able to detect your SIM card.
A no SIM card error is one of the minor annoyances of using a mobile phone. Please let me know if you still can't solve the issue using any of the techniques mentioned above by posting a comment.

On behalf of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Aziz posted in Firm Case News on Friday, July 29, 2011.
The odds of dying in a plane crash are about 1 in 10 million. Sounds like a relatively small risk, especially compared to the odds of dying in a motor vehicle crash -- which are about 1 in 5,000. But even riskier than dying in a transportation accident is dying due to a medical error.
According to a recent study by the World Health Organization (WHO), dying from a medical mistake or infection following a hospital visit in the United States is far riskier than flying. WHO patient safety representative Liam Donaldson said, "If you were admitted to hospital tomorrow in any country... your chances of being subjected to an error in your care would be something like 1 in 10. Your chances of dying due to an error in health care would be 1 in 300."
"Health care is a high-risk business," continued Donaldson, "People are sick and modern health care is delivered in a fast-moving, high-pressured environment involving a lot of complex technology and a lot of people."
And in that fast-moving, high-pressured environment, it is inevitable that short cuts happen -- like forgetting to wash one's hands between patient visits. According to WHO, over half of all infections could be prevented simply if hospital employees wash their hands or use hand sanitizer. The average patient comes into contact with a number of health care workers during a visit to the hospital (for example, heart surgery can mean that the patient comes in contact with a team of over 60 employee), which further increases the risk that one worker, who failed to wash their hands, may cause an infection.
Because infections linked to health care are more widespread than one would think, WHO is encouraging patients to ask questions and challenge whether proper hygiene standards are being used in hospitals.

In Why Isn't My Encryption.. Encrypting? we learned that your encryption is only as good as your understanding of the encryption code. And that the best encryption of all is no encryption, because you kept everything on the server, away from the prying eyes of the client.
In The Bathroom Wall of Code we learned the potential danger of copy-pasting code from the internet, and the continued importance of regular peer review for every line of code that enters your codebase, from whatever source.
I didn't anticipate this series becoming a trilogy, but apparently it has, because Thomas Ptacek of Matsano Security wrote a long blog entry about it. A blog entry masquerading as an overly dramatic college screenplay, but still. These guys, unlike us, are real security experts, so it's worth reading.
But you don't have to read that screenplay, because I'm going to reveal the twist in the final act right here.
The root problem wasn't failing to understand the encryption.
The root problem wasn't copy and pasting code from the internet.
The root problem wasn't failing to peer review the code.
Mr. Ptacek is absolutely right. The root problem was that we were working at the wrong layer of abstraction.
A: You don't. You use JQuery.
Getting back to specifics: how can you stop programmers from working at the wrong layer of abstraction? One solution would be to disallow the .NET encryption primitives entirely. This is akin to Steve Gibson's holy crusade against raw socket programming in Windows XP. That's one way to do it, I suppose. But putting roadblocks in front of programmers is tantamount to a challenge; why not offer them more attractive alternatives, instead?
"Hey! It looks like you're using a method of encryption that's widely regarded as insecure by security experts! Would you like to see alternatives?"
One of those alternatives would be a full-blown library, perhaps something like Bouncy Castle, or Keyczar, or cryptlib. What could be easier than a EncryptStringForBrowser() method which has security and tamper-resistance built in, that's part of a proven, domain-expert-tested set of code that thousands if not millions of developers already rely on?
Using encryption libraries doesn't mean that crucial encryption mistakes will magically disappear overnight. But these libraries, because they force developers to work at a higher level of abstraction, do make it harder to misuse cryptography. And perhaps more importantly, usability improvements to the library can be better handled by the specialists who created the library, rather than the generalists working on the .NET framework itself.
So the next time you set out to write code -- not just encryption code, any code -- ask yourself: am I working at the right level of abstraction?

Compass launches Win As One campaign
By Mary Reid | Fri 9th December 2022 - 9:34 am
Compass is a think tank with a strong emphasis on equality and sustainability. It started as a pressure group within Labour but now has a wider membership including members of other progressive parties, including Liberal Democrats.
Compass has launched a new campaign called Win As One. This is a variant on a Progressive Alliance, but it does not involve parties standing down candidates in Tory facing seats to back the most winnable. Instead it appeals to voters to create a movement for change, embracing tactical voting where it can be effective.
The Guardian has more detail about how they intend to work. The campaign will focus on 62 seats where a Conservative has been elected even though the combined progressive voter was higher – they dub these seats as progressive tragedies.
You will remember that back in September the Labour Party Conference backed a motion calling for Proportional Representation. However, it did not have the backing of Keir Starmer, so it seems unlikely to feature in any future manifesto. The Win As One campaign will give preference to candidates who support PR.
You can enter your postcode on the Win As One website to see their analysis of your constituency. In my case Ed Davey is my MP and Kingston & Surbiton is not seen as a battleground, but the site points me towards neighbouring constituencies that are. For example, the Lib Dem's top target seat is Wimbledon and it has a progressive combined vote of 61%.
So what should our attitude be towards this new player? I do have my doubts about a Progressive Alliance as such, because it undermines the autonomy of the voter. It assumes that voters will automatically transfer their vote to the "chosen" candidate, but we know that is simply not the case. Indeed it can be a counterproductive move if voters resent the reduction in choice and feel patronised by the parties who appear to be trying to manipulate the result. We should always stand a candidate in each seat.
However, we have always actively supported tactical voting and have encouraged it through our third party squeeze messages. It's an approach that respects the intelligence and autonomy of the voter.
Our brilliant Blue Wall campaign resonates with the electorate in those seats where we are the credible alternative to the Conservatives and has helped us to deliver some astonishing by-election results. At the same time we have not actively contested traditional Red Wall seats, leaving Labour to defeat the Tories.
I think we should be actively supporting the Win As One campaign. We should not shun it simply because its origins are outside our party.
* Mary Reid is a contributing editor on Lib Dem Voice. She was a councillor in Kingston upon Thames, where she is still very active with the local party, and is the Hon President of Kingston Lib Dems.

Mark Pack's December report: Fixing our broken politics
Peter Davies 9th Dec '22 - 10:35am
This is definitely a more intelligent approach than some of the previous tactical voting campaigns. It has identified that there are quite a small number of seats where tactical voting might work. At the previous election there were a number of sites claiming that you needed to vote tactically for Labour in safe Labour seats and safe Tory seats.
Jack Nicholls 9th Dec '22 - 10:41am
I strongly support this endeavour. I'm clustered in amongst the red wall (some still red, some currently blue) and actively contributing to a Liberal victory over a conservative would mean going out leafleting in Harrogate or Westmoreland. I may still still do that here and there come the election, but I have no qualms about helping a good Labour candidate closer to home, at least for this election, and I have Labour friends in yellow/blue battlegrounds who would do likewise for us.
Mick Taylor 9th Dec '22 - 10:55am
A sensible proposal from Compass. Rather like the successful tactical voting agreement in 1997. No second guessing voters or denying them choice. I'd go for this, especially if backing PR is part of it.
Chris Moore 9th Dec '22 - 11:33am
If Labour is in power with an overall majority, most Labour activists will forget their previous support for PR. There will be other "priorities".
In any case, Labour party leadership don't want PR.
Alan Jelfs 9th Dec '22 - 11:51am
What happens in 2028 or 2029 when our priority (as in 2010) might be to get a poor Labour govenrment out of office?
Massimo Ricciuti 9th Dec '22 - 11:51am
Thank you, Mary. It's really interesting to read about that from Italy. I understand your point of view.
James Moore 9th Dec '22 - 1:21pm
As a Labour government wouldn't take us back into the EU, wouldn't rejoin the single market and wouldn't support PR, I'm not clear why the election of a Labour government is something to be particularly welcomed.
I can't helping thinking our time would be better spent making the Liberal case, rather than trying to concoct deals and understandings of various sorts. Any Labour member advocating support for another party's candidate could face expulsion so I cannot see how this will ever gain influential backing on the other side of the fence.
Jack Nicholls 9th Dec '22 - 3:59pm
A labour government is neither panacea nor picnic, and Starmer's authoritarianism – real or performative – worries me, but right now, in these circumstances, with the world as it is at present, I'll take it. The Tories aren't going to take us back EU-ward or give us PR, and they'll also pummel the NHS, continue to gut public transport, detain the most vulnerable people in the world till they die from diphtheria, and eviscerate our reputation for international development. I have never been equidistant between the two big parties, and I've never thought our party should be either.
Marco 9th Dec '22 - 11:42pm
The best hope of getting some kind of electoral reform, closer relations with Europe and a fairer government overall is if there is a Labour government.
A lot of what Starmer says is triangulation to appease the red wall but my feeling is that Labour would be willing to jettison some of their illiberal positions in the event of a hung parliament especially if they could blame the Lib Dems for it.
Tom Harney 10th Dec '22 - 7:42am
As far as the EU is concerned I will vote for the party which is prepared to explain clearly at every opportunity the financial damage that leaving caused this country.
And I don't live in Scotland!
Nick Hopkinson 10th Dec '22 - 9:11am
Fully support this article.
Tim Knight 10th Dec '22 - 10:46am
The paradigm underpinning the Compass Progressive-Alliance campaignscould be characterised as a 'Star-Wars' paradigm. Unfortunately, those proposalswould confound the whole purpose of democracy. They would concentrate control of the political agendainto back-room negotiations within and between tiny minoritiesof determined and self-focussed activistsin 'covert-coalition' arrangements,and would eliminate meaningful choicefor each Individual Sovereign Elector. Indeed, those proposals would simply consolidate the dominanceof the two current alternating hegemonies;currently labelled 'the Con Party'and 'the Lab Party',by re-labelling them'the Regressive Alliance'and 'the Progressive Alliance',in a move towards the ultimate two-Party state- the Republican Party and the Democratic Party of the US.
Alison C 10th Dec '22 - 12:29pm
Although I could support most of the aims of this group, they lost me at the first line. How can they think that the name Win as One will attract any Lib Dems, who know only too well the pitfalls of forming alliances of any sort?
Nigel Jones 10th Dec '22 - 2:04pm
Allison, I share your feeling when looking at the title literally; perhaps Win as United would be better, since we need to keep our distinctiveness as a party. But being pragmatic, we must support the aims of this movement. As to people's legitimate questions about Labour under Keir Starmer, this is the only way to get even the first steps of change that we as Liberal Democrats believe in for the long term interests of the country. In particular, the country needs to tackle inequality and the need to enable people to participate more effectively in politics and in society.
Chris Moore 10th Dec '22 - 2:28pm
Even if Labour Party committed to PR before a GE, the chances are high they'd renege on this if they won an overall majority.
Peter Hirst 10th Dec '22 - 3:03pm
Win as One is fine as long as it also articulates a firm pathway and commitment to getting rid of FPTP. Otherwise it just increases Labour's majority in the next parliament. Can Labour be trusted to make then next ge the last under this system? I have my doubt though we might have no choice than to mix trust with a large dose of hope.
Chris Moore 11th Dec '22 - 8:08am
We need to be realistic:
1. Labour leadership doesn't want PR.
2. It's not official Labour policy. And is very unlikely to be so before 2024.
2. Even if it were official Labour policy, precedents suggest that with a Labour overall majority it would not be prioritised and most probably wouldn't happen.
To have any chance of PR, we need to hold the balance and make it a condition of support. We would then likely be faced with opposing a minority Labour government program with many reforms we supported. If this came to a confidence vote, we would be unpopular for being a proximate cause of a sevond GE.

DePuy Hip Recall Lawsuit
Home Practice Areas Defective Medical Devices DePuy Hip Recall Lawsuit
Plaintiffs who file a DePuy hip personal injury lawsuit typically have complaints about either the DePuy ASR or the DePuy Pinnacle implant. These metal-on-metal devices have been linked to complications like metal contamination, bone loss, premature loosening, and early implant failure. Anyone who has experienced these complications is urged to speak with a DePuy hip lawyer.
The Sanders Firm's team of product liability lawyers offers free legal consultation to those who received these hip implants and suffered subsequent complications.
Johnson & Johnson, the manufacturer of the devices, implemented a DePuy ASR recall in 2010 in response to the increasing number of complaints, but the Pinnacle continues to be available on the market, despite a growing number of Pinnacle hip lawsuits. Litigation involving both the ASR and Pinnacle hip replacement is ongoing, despite recent settlements proposed by Johnson& Johnson for eligible plaintiffs.
DePuy hip replacement lawsuits
By 2007, over 100 reports of problems regarding the ASR had been sent to DePuy. By the end of 2008, that number had climbed to over 300 reports. Those who have filed DePuy hip replacement lawsuits note that even the surgeon who designed the device, Dr. Thomas Schmalzried, admitted that DePuy had known since 2008 that the ASR cup may have problems.
The New York Times reported in March 2010 that Dr. Schmalzried said in an interview that he and DePuy officials realized within the last two years that the cup might be more of a challenge to implant properly than competing cups. Yet DePuy continued to sell the device, allegedly concealing the known problems from doctors and patients.
J&J offers settlement for ASR hip lawsuits
In late 2013, Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay $2.5 billion to resolve the majority of ASR hip lawsuits pending in the United States. The accord would settle roughly 8,000 claims filed by patients who had their ASR XL Acetabular system or ASR Resurfacing hip replacement removed and replaced between August 31, 2013 and January 31, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, plaintiffs would secure a base payout of approximately $250,000.
The DePuy hip settlement was later augmented in February 2015 to include an additional $420 million, allowing for the inclusion of another 1,400 cases. J&J pushed back the settlement deadline, letting claimants who had hip revision surgery on their ASR implants up through January 31, 2015 to participate in the accord.
Under the terms of the agreement, plaintiffs would receive roughly $300,000, depending on the extenuating circumstances of their particular injuries. The settlement deal includes supplemental compensation earmarked for patients who had bilateral hip surgery, more than one revision surgery, or "extraordinary injuries" linked to their defective ASR hip device and explantation.
Participation in the settlement claims program is not mandatory, as all plaintiffs have the right to a trial.
The firm represents clients in lawsuits involving:
Product liability lawyers can help
Plaintiffs who have been injured by the ASR hip or Pinnacle hip may benefit from a consultation with a DePuy hip lawyer. A successful hip replacement lawsuit can result in substantial compensation to help injured victims pay for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
As more and more plaintiffs filed lawsuits, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) consolidated all federal ASR lawsuits into one court in the Northern District of Ohio. Some states also centralized cases into one court, including New Jersey and California.
The Sanders Firm can help
Johnson & Johnson may be setting aside additional funds for future settlements. To claim those funds however, eligible parties will benefit from the expertise of a seasoned personal injury lawyer. Call The Sanders Firm and see if you qualify to bring a lawsuit against DePuy and its parent company.
The Sanders Firm has a long record of successful cases involving injuries sustained from defective medical devices. We understand the financial and physical burdens that the injuries imposed by these hip devices inflict, and we can provide you and your family with the legal guidance you need to obtain justice.
History of complications with the ASR implant
The DePuy ASR was a new hip replacement system approved by the FDA in 2005. DePuy Orthopaedics marketed the device as a stronger, more durable option for total hip replacement, and also as an improved product for younger patients.
Within just a couple years of the product launch, however, the FDA began receiving complaints of problems related to the implant. The design of the device puts a metal femoral ball directly in contact with a metal acetabular cup, which with regular wear and tear over time, can result in metal contamination in the hip joint and surrounding tissue.
DePuy received FDA approval for the ASR and Pinnacle through the fast-track 510(k) approval process, which means they never had to perform clinical trials on the devices to prove its safety. They only had to prove that the components were similar to other hip components already on the market.
Therefore, it was only in post-marketing reports that patients and doctors began to learn that the design of the implant could allegedly cause shedding of small shards of cobalt and chromium into the surrounding hip joint. These free-floating metal pieces could then cause additional complications such as tissue damage, pain, and pockets of swelling (known as "pseudotumors").
Other problems reported with the Pinnacle and ASR implants include:
Premature loosening of the implant
Early implant failure
Events lead to DePuy ASR recall
In 2009, the FDA sent confidential correspondence to DePuy and parent company Johnson & Johnson stating that the companies had not provided adequate clinical data to demonstrate the safety of the ASR hip resurfacing system, which was already being used in Europe. At the time, the ASR total hip replacement system was widely used in the U.S., but the resurfacing system required clinical trials for FDA approval.
DePuy withdrew the ASR from the Australian market in December 2009, but it wasn't until March 2010 that they started to disclose some of the damaging information about the ASR to U.S. doctors. That month, they sent a letter warning physicians of an increased failure rate associated with the device, admitting that it suffered from a "higher than expected revision rate." They also referred to data from the Australian National Joint Replacement Registry which showed that 5.4 percent of all ASR hip implants had to be replaced within three years or less after the initial surgery, and that the expected failure rate could be as high as 10 percent.
On August 26, 2010, the company issued a DePuy ASR recall, confirming that in the first five years after implantation, approximately 12 percent of patients who had received the resurfacing device, and 13 percent of those who received the ASR total hip replacement, required revision surgery. Later data produced by the British Orthopaedic Association showed a much higher failure rate of 21 percent after four years, and 49 percent after six years.
Pinnacle litigation and trials
As of 2016, more than 8,000 claims involving Pinnacle metal-on-metal hips are pending as part of multidistrict litigation in Texas federal court under the direction of Judge Ed Kinkeade. In the first bellwether trial, J&J won the case after the panel found that improper surgical technique was to blame, not a defective implant.
In the second bellwether Pinnacle trial, which concluded on March 17, jurors found for the plaintiffs and ordered J&J to pay a whopping $502 million. The verdict included $142 million for actual damages and an additional $360 million in punitive damages. Plaintiffs Margaret Aoki, Richard Klusmann, Jay Christopher, Donald Greer and Robert Peterson were forced to endure painful revision surgery for their failed Pinnacle device that caused blood metal poisoning.
Even though J&J says it plans to appeal the decision, the verdict bodes well for other claimants.

New London police lose two officers to injuries
Published April 05. 2019 6:16PM | Updated April 08. 2019 10:45AM
New London — Two female New London police officers with 24 years of combined service — sidelined from regular street patrols because of injuries sustained on the job — are retiring on disability May 1.
Sgt. Kristy Christina, 41, and Officer Patricia Kehler, 49, both of whom were forced to take time off for surgeries over the past several years, currently are restricted to administrative duty because of lingering injuries.
The loss of the two officers, combined with another officer scheduled to retire this month, drops the number of sworn officers at the department to 71, including the three officers hired by the city this week. It also reduces the number of female officers to four.
New London police Capt. Brian Wright said that, as with any law enforcement recruitment campaign, "improvements can be made" in attempts to diversify the department. "Currently we are developing a strategic marketing plan and career orientations to increase female and minority interest/participation," he said in an email on Friday.
The Law Enforcement Council of Connecticut manages the testing process and works with the city personnel division in the hiring process. New London Police Chief Peter Reichard said there are few female applicants.
The upcoming retirements will move the department further away from the goal of 80 officers, a number required by a city ordinance approved by the City Council in 2015.
Mayor Michael Passero has included funding for two additional officers in his recommended city budget. Reichard said he would have to wait to find out if the funding remains in place when the budget is approved by City Council.
Reichard said Christina and Kehler have served the city and department with distinction.
"Their commitment to the New London community has been consistently evident throughout their careers with the NLPD," Reichard said. "I am grateful for the contribution these officers have made towards strengthening this agency and for the impact each has made on improving of the quality of life for the citizens of New London."
The City Council this week approved a settlement agreement hashed out between the police union and city administration.
The officers' pension is processed through the Connecticut's Municipal Employees Retirement System, a public pension plan provided by the state for participating municipalities. New London Risk Manager Paul Gills said council approval was needed to cover a disparity in funding from the state that would have created "undue financial hardship" for the officers.
Gills said funding from the city, essentially a loan, will bridge an economic gap for up to 12 months. He said the officers would be paid retroactively by the state and the city would be reimbursed. A dollar amount was not immediately available.
Police Union President Todd Lynch credited the police and city administrations "stepping up to do the right thing." Lynch said Kehler and Christina were good officers and even better human beings.
"They are going to be missed," Lynch said. "You come to work every day and you just hope to get to the end of shift and back home unharmed. That's the type of job we have. They can no longer perform their duties because of what happened on their shift. God willing, they can still go home to their families."
The injuries to the officers can be traced back to a Feb. 20, 2017, late night skirmish with a woman living in a residential program of Sound Community Services.
Police, including Kehler and Christina, were dispatched to report of a suicidal woman. Police reports show the woman was not happy about the arrival of police, swore at them and fled out a back door.
Christina said she caught up with the woman and grabbed her by the sweatshirt but was unable to calm the woman, who "began to swing at me with closed fists, yelling and swearing at me," the report shows.
The woman outweighed Christina by 100 pounds and continued to try and punch her. Even with help from a second officer, the woman struggled and prevented officers from getting her into handcuffs.
It eventually took four officers to secure the woman, who used her weight against the officers.
Kehler, in her report, said she had responded to calls for backup and found Christina, another officer and the woman on the ground off Montauk Avenue. Kehler was kicked in the leg as she was walking toward the cruiser.
At least four officers sustained injuries in the incident.
Gills said while the injuries of Kehler and Christina might not have seemed severe at the time, "two years later they've had multiple surgeries and reached maximum medical improvement that precludes them from fulfilling essential functions of a police officer."
Christina joined the New London Police Department in April 2000 and was promoted to the rank of sergeant in 2010. She has served in the uniformed division, support services and investigative services, where she was the detective sergeant. Kehler joined the force in March 2006 and served as a motorcycle officer, a school resource officer and in the vice and intelligence unit. They could not be reached for comment for this report.
Editor's note: This version corrects the number of female officers on the force.

My wife noticed my a rear break light was out. I called Matthews on the way to Waupaca to see if they had a bulb. Nate Ernst said they did. I was going to just pick it up, but Nate said he would pull the Jeep in and replace it. In less than 15 minutes I had a new bulb installed.....all for $7.03! What a fantastic and helpful place. No need to go anywhere else. Thanks again for everything.
Was diagnosed promptly & repair parts were ordered.
When I took in our 2001 Town & Country for a thumping noise in the l front they did a test drive and inspection and were able to diagnose the problem. I was given an estimate and a 4 hour timeline for the repairs. I will be setting up an appointment to have the work done soon.
I would highly recommend Matthew Tires.
As usual Matthews Tire personelwere very helpful, knowledgeableand prompt with their service.
Been coming here for years. I have confidence in the work they do on my vehicle. Great customer service. Would recommend them to anyone.

Hmm... Looks like this thread is mostly dead, but I'll accept any excuse to make lengthy lists of random marvel characters.
01. Star-Lord: Peter Quill
02. Drax the Destroyer
03. Gamora
04. Groot
05. Rocket Raccoon
06. Mantis
07. Bug
08. Quasar: Phyla-Vell
09. Luke Cage
10. Iron Fist
11. Colleen Wing
12. Misty Knight

26. Stick
Kinda weird seeing a marvel team-up video game roster without Spider-Man or Wolverine, but I'm sure they'll live. Also, I know that an actual Chaste team would be Stick, Stone, Shaft, and Claw. It was a legitimately difficult decision on whether or not to sub out Shaft and Stone for Daredevil and Elektra, but I think it would hurt deep inside to see the chaste included without at least the man without fear.

My bad for bumping this topic up, but a lot has changed since the last post. Now we can have up to 50 characters! (Remember, you can use the 50 Roster Hack and the new 36 Roster Hack in connection, just in case in some games you don't want 50.) That said, what would be your ideal roster of 50?
For me, I can only think of three that would have as many as 50: my ideal Marvel roster, X-Men, and Marvel & DC United.
Ideal Marvel Roster:
Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Ms. Marvel, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, War Machine, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, The Thing, Cyclops, Storm, Iceman, Colossus, Psylocke, Gambit, Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Adam Warlock, Nova, Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider, Blade, Punisher, Black Cat, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luka Cage, Iron Fist, Elektra, Firestar, Captain Britain, She-Hulk, Deadpool, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, (& one of my secret mods)
X-Men:
Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Iceman, Colossus, Psylocke, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Gambit, Beast, Archangel, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Professor X, Magneto, Banshee, Dazzler, Bishop, Cable, Forge, Havok, Polaris, X-23, Jubilee, Shadowcat, Revanche, Magik, Namor, Firestar, Magma, Cannonball, Marvel Girl, Sage, Domino, Warpath, Longshot, Morph, Boom-Boom, Sunfire, Mystique, Quicksilver, Pixie, Karma, Omega Sentinel, M, Hope Summers, X-Man, Blink, Fantomex, (& one of my upcoming mods)
Marvel & DC United:
Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Luke Cage, Invisible Woman, Ms. Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider, Blade, Punisher, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Deadpool, Psylocke, Star-Lord, Magneto, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, War Machine
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Shazam, Zatanna, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Huntress, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, The Joker, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, Hawkgirl, Nightwing
I think the Avengers alumni can possibly have a roster of 50 mods as well. Anyway, what would your rosters be?

Our hands are capable of loving and comforting, of precision and gentility, of creating beauty and art; but what of those who have little to no ability to use their hands?
One of the most stunning and mysterious cases of hand inoperability is found in those with Epidermodusplasia Verucciforum, or "Tree Man Disease" Many diseases that affect the hands are not particularly debilitating; however the strange nature of this condition makes it almost impossible for the individual to live a normal and healthy life. This incapacitating disease, however impossible it seems, is extraordinary and true.
Epidermodusplasia Verruciformis is a genetic disorder of the skin that causes wart-like lesions that most often resemble the bark and roots of a tree. These scaly macules begin growing on hands or feet as a result of a mutation in Chromosome 17 and an onset of the HPV type 5 and 8 virus. Uncontrolled growth can result in a full blown onset of macules that harden the skin and create a bark-like effect of enlargement and overgrowth.
While there is no cure for the underlying cause, a very complex order of treatment that uses a multi-faceted approach has shown success in keeping the symptoms of the disease at bay. Interferons and retinoids have been the traditional and most effective solution for resolving the overgrowth while some topical histamine receptors have also been known to reduce the growth rate of the lesions. The idea behind treatment is to catch the disease early enough that you can prevent the expansive growth of the macules and reduce the necessity for surgery later on. If the disease has progressed, then surgery to remove the hardened warts is often the only way to regain the maximum use of your hands or feet.
There are several notable cases of Epidermodusplasia Verruciforums that have had significant exposure to treatment. One of the worst cases that has presented itself for diagnosis and treatment, is that of a 26 year old father in Bangladesh named Abul Bandajar. According to Mr Bandajar, the tree man disease first appeared 10 years ago in 2006. This debilitating skin disease literally stopped Mr Bandajar from living a productive and healthy life. A hard-working man, Mr Bandajar was forced to stop working and unable to care for his children due to the 11 pounds of root-like growths that are present on his hands. When self-removal became too painful for Mr Bandajar, he turned to the experts for help. Fortunately for him, a team of doctors has agreed to perform the surgery free of charge, and soon Mr Bandajar will have his life back!

Donner Lake Triathlon: One SWEET Hometown Victory
Posted by karalapoint on August 12, 2013
As I wrote in my last post, my original race schedule for the season had me racing at Vineman 140.6 (Iron-distance) on July 27th. This would have been my 4th year doing that race, which was my first Iron-distance race back in 2010. There's a special place in my heart for Vineman, without a doubt. It was also important because initially my main focus for 2013 was on going "long," focusing on 140.6 racing, with four Ironman races on my schedule. But when I hurt my knee in May — and more specifically when it continued to be hurt in June and then July — everything changed. Three of the Ironmans I had scheduled were dropped from my schedule, and now just one remains: IM Tahoe on Sep. 22. It's crazy how much things can change during the course of a season, or even just a few months, and that's why it's so important to be flexible as an athlete and learn how to "roll with the punches," so to speak.
I'm pretty confident I would have made it through Vineman that weekend, as my knee was very much on the mend at that point (having completed the 70.3 race two weeks prior), but I knew attempting that would not be the best decision I could make as an athlete looking for long-term success, or even short-term… (it would not have been pretty, I'm sure). But fortunately, the Donner Lake Triathlon was taking place right here in my hometown of Truckee on the same weekend! I'd missed this race in 2012 for Vineman, after racing it the two years prior, so I was actually pretty psyched to get another chance to participate in this hometown gem!
The DLT is a pretty big deal here in our small town. It's one of the premier annual athletic events in Tahoe, and it has a big spectator turnout and even bigger following. I remember watching it several years as a kid, in awe of the amazing athletes out there, before jumping into a relay with buddies a few years, and then eventually tackling the race on my own in 2010 and 2011 after I got my start in triathlon. It's called an Olympic-distance race, however the run is a little long, at just under 7 miles instead of the usual 6.2, and the course is TOUGH, going up the infamous Donner Summit climb right out of T2. No PRs on this course! But it's truly a one-of-a-kind race in so many ways. The challenge is unique in itself, not to mention the stunning scenery. And then of course there is the hometown appeal, which pretty much can't be beat.
AWESOME venue for a race!
DLT attracts some seriously good athletes every year, so it's pretty competitive even though it's a relatively small race. I've had some really strong races here in the past, placing 3rd and 4th overall female in my two individual starts, but the win has always seemed pretty elusive. Last year there were a couple of STELLAR gals who took the top two female spots, one of them being top pro racer Liz Lyles, of Reno, and the other local legend and incredibly talented athlete Shannon Rahlves. I had been told these ladies were not racing this year, but of course you never know until the gun goes off. Nonetheless, I set my sights on the win. Honestly this is a pretty low-pressure race, with no qualifying spots of any kind on the line or anything like that, so I was excited to just give it my all and enjoy racing in my backyard. But come race morning, the competitor in me was seriously fired up and ready to go, and I knew I wanted to win, regardless of who was out there. I told myself I was going for it — no holding back, and no playing it safe; all or nothing.
It was a typically gorgeous Truckee day, and the lake was as glassy and stunning as ever — and not too cold! The only bummer about the swim was that the turning buoys were white and quite small, and positioned RIGHT in the wake of the bright morning sun, so I literally could not see the first turn even from the shore. I was pretty much swimming blind and never really had a good sight of the buoy, but I tried to just stay with the pack and keep a good straight line, and ironically I think it was some of the most direct swimming I've done all year. I felt strong and smooth in the water, and tried to focus on keeping an efficient stroke until the second turn, when I tried to turn up the gas a bit. I was out of the water in just under 24 minutes, which is pretty good for me these days, so I was really pleased about that! However, I had some ground to make up with several girls out ahead of me.
Onto the bike I focused on my plan of charging hard and taking some risks. So I went for it! I have missed all my other Olympic-distance races this year, and it was so fun to be back in this shorter distance where time flies by and you can go full-throttle from the get-go. I pushed it big time up Donner Summit, and I felt AWESOME! As I neared the top of the climb, I literally couldn't believe how much fun I was having out there. I felt super strong, and mentally I was in a great space where I was just absolutely loving being out there! I had moved into 1st female by the top of the climb, and I told myself I had to keep on pushing hard because things can change so quickly in these shorter races. At the turn-around I could see that a couple gals were not far behind, and I really wanted a cushion going into the run — not to mention I wanted to beat my former race times — so I gave it everything I had heading back up the backside of the summit before the fast descent back to the lake. I continued to feel strong throughout the bike, and I felt like it flew by! I came it at around 1:20 with the transition time, about 4 minutes faster than my previous bike time on this course. I'll take it!
Feeling good and having fun early in the run!
As usual, my T2 (like my T1) was way slower than necessary, despite my best efforts to try to make it snappy. But I headed out onto the run as the lead woman, and got a TON of cheers from the hometown crowd, which was AMAZING, and so very appreciated! I had people I didn't even know cheering for me by name, and it pretty much made me feel like a rockstar. I was thriving off of the good Truckee vibes, and loving it! I was still feeling really good as I started my run along the lake, and I still really wanted that W. I knew I had a little cushion, but I really didn't know how big it was at all, so I told myself there was no time for slacking, put my head down, and kept charging like I was about to be outrun. As it turns out, I was right. I had never looked back all along the length of the lake, and I didn't think there was anybody within sight of me because I was having a really strong run. But as the course turned around the lake through the State Park, and then we started down the backside for home — right where the big hill on the course begins, of course — is when things were about to get really TOUGH.
Because Laura Haley, a 19-year-old studette from Reno who competes for the University of Arizona "Tri Cats" team was charging hard, and she was closing in on me. Turns out she wanted that W too… Funny thing about racing, huh?! I honestly would not have even known she was there if the spectators out on the course hadn't started to let me know that "there's somebody RIGHT behind you," she was so light on her feet (and obviously quick too). Dammit… REALLY?! My heart started to sink for a minute as everyone (including my slightly frantic family fan club who was so excited I was doing this local race so they could watch) let me know that she was getting closer and closer. Ugh. I did not know if I had it in me to hold her off. I felt like I was already going so hard, and running so well, that I just didn't know if I had anymore to give. I was hurting, and I just wanted that last mile-and-a-half to be over, now, so I didn't have to fight this battle. I didn't want to do it. But there I was, in that moment, forced to fight.
I am constantly amazed at what our bodies can do in these types of situations. And once again mine was somehow able to dig itself into depths I literally didn't even know it had to fight for that win. After a few brief moments of self doubt and utter panic about the thought that I was going to get passed in the last moments of this race, and just miss out on that long sought-after win in my hometown event, after everything I'd left out there… I told myself to snap out of it, stay focused, and PUSH. It was like my mind literally flipped a switch and made a decision that I was not going to give in, and I was not going to let myself lose this race in this last mile. And my body responded. Just when I felt like I was going as hard as I possibly could, I found a way to go harder. Because I had to. I found another gear from some mysterious place (that I wish I could tap into more often!). It hurt like hell, but there I was, running like I hadn't run in months and didn't think I could. I guess it truly is all about what you tell yourself in these situations, which is why it's so important to be in control of the dialogue!
With the finish getting closer and closer, I found myself still out in front, and the thoughts switched to "You are not going to lose this race in the last half-mile;" and then 400 meters… I shut out all the thoughts about how I was feeling, or how hard I thought I was already going, and just told myself to go harder. All I thought about was how much I wanted this win in front of the people and town that has supported me so much. And I told myself I was going to get it. And somehow, I pulled back away. And I kept on going, through that eagerly-awaited finish line. I'm not sure any victory I've had so far has felt too much sweeter. And this being my first one of the tri season, at such a special venue, after such a tough last few months, and after such a hard fight, I felt like I'd just won the flippin' Olympics. (Don't steal my thunder here… I know that's a massive stretch of a comparison, but I was STOKED!).
All said and done, I won the race by just over 20 seconds. But within the last mile, that gap was within just a few footsteps. My run split was 48 minutes, a new PR on this course for me, but not as fast as Laura's! I am incredibly impressed with Laura's mad running skills, and pretty much instantly gained an insane amount of respect for her after what we went through out there on the course together. She has some GREAT racing ahead of her, that's for sure. Although it was certainly not what I wanted at the time, I am really grateful to have had such a tough battle at the end of this race. It is in these epic moments of racing, where we are pushed to a point beyond where we want to stretch, that we find that next level we didn't know we had, and that we grow as athletes. There is NO way I would have finished that hard if I didn't have Laura right there in my shadow, pushing me past my perceived limits. THANK YOU, Laura, for helping me grow. Thank you for the challenge, and thank you for an amazing race that I won't be forgetting anytime soon.
Donner Lake Triathlon 2013 is in the books, and I finally nabbed the victory here. My total time on the day was 2:35:37, almost 8 minutes faster than when I last raced here in 2011. It feel so good to make progress like that despite the injury, and to have felt as strong as I did out there. It was one special day for me to win here in Truckee, and I just can't say enough about the hometown cheers and encouragement. Thanks to all of you who helped out! Here's hoping the good vibes will continue at IM Tahoe next month! 🙂
Mad respect for this girl! Laura, you rock!
Women's overall podium
Me and my ma! Happy she could be there!
Happy gal after a very special day!

Wow, wow, wow… BC Bike Race was truly an adventure and challenge of EPIC proportions. The singletrack was relentless. The climbs felt endless. The pace was soul-crushing. Without a doubt, it was the hardest "training week" of my life. 7 days (plus one prologue). Nearly 200 miles of dirt. More than 27,000 feet of climbing. Just shy of 22 hours in the saddle. It took every last ounce I had to push through all seven of those massive days on the trail, and I was completely empty when I crossed that finish line in Squamish – but man did it ever feel good to get there! By the time we hit the final stage, my body was breaking down and revolting in ways I've never experienced before. But it is AMAZING how just when you think you're at the point of total failure and cannot possibly handle one more pedal stroke, your body and mind somehow rise up to meet the challenge of the next thing thrown your way. And THAT right there is the very essence of GROWTH. 🙌 Sometimes it takes getting to that breaking point to fully realize the strength you have to build your way back up. To find that next level of grit you would never have discovered had you not been forced to dig it up from a place so deep you didn't even know it existed. BC Bike Race did this for me. It took me out of my element and past my comfort zone. It took me to my very limit, and then well beyond. It pushed me to be better than I thought I could be, and overcome all those doubts that arose out there on the trails -- because there was simply no other option. It was the ultimate test in so many ways, but it showed me what I'm capable of. And as brutal as it felt at times to ride through that total mental and physical exhaustion, I am grateful for the privilege to face this struggle and the opportunity to push past it. To be able to get to that place where you either grow, or you don't make it. And to be able to come out the other side a stronger rider on so many levels than I was when I went in. (Oh, and to be able to check out so much of that incredible BC singletrack terrain… Pretty grateful for that too! 😉) #BCBR2019 #BCBikeRace #NoStruggleNoProgress #JLVelo #Wahooligan #HoneyStinger #FierceAndFab
(**Update: I wrote this post this morning on the ferry ride to the race start, but it didn't go through. Stage 5 is now in the books! It was by far the toughest one yet, and unfortunately my day was plagued by mechanical problems, but I am looking forward to another chance tomorrow to have a better time out there on the trails.**) • • • BC Bike Race has been amazing so far! Truly an experience unlike anything else I've done. Each day brings a new set of challenges that test me and push my limits in totally unique ways — but the rewards are worth the push, and I am undoubtedly becoming a better and stronger rider with every km that goes by! We're over halfway done, with three more stages on tap (and some of the toughest riding yet to come!). The open women's field is FIERCE, with a deep roster of immensely talented riders from all around the world. It's very impressive. I'm really proud of my riding so far, sitting just outside the top 10 after four solid stage days — and psyched to keep pushing hard through these final 3 to see what more I can do out there. My motto for the week has been: "Be tough, be smart, be strong." So here's to more of that through the next 140km to the final finish line in Squamish — and hopefully a whole lot of fun!
Oh hey... I AM BACK to racing! And if you couldn't tell, I'm pretty damn stoked about it. 😉😍 • Have a few MTB starts under the belt now — including @betibikebash, @mountaingamesvail & a couple local @aspencyclingclub races — and was really pleased with how well these efforts went, despite kicking off the season so very late. (Even snagged a couple podiums!). Most of all, they were freaking FUN. 🙌 • After everything these past six months have thrown at our family and all we've been through, I am more aware & appreciative than ever of the value and joy of being able to be out here doing exactly THIS — this thing I love so much, even when the circumstances are far from perfect and my body isn't quite sure if it's ready for what I'm asking of it. It took so much just to get to these start lines, and I'm so grateful to be getting back into a routine that enables me to feel much more like myself. • And now, I'm over-the-moon excited to share that I'm pedaling my way in to one of the biggest challenges and coolest adventures yet, as we kick off @bcbikerace today! I am so happy to be here and determined to make the most of every pedal stroke and sweet piece of singletrack. Stay tuned for updates throughout the week! • (Absolutely stellar photo from @catherineaeppel at #GoProMountainGames — thank you for capturing my emotions so perfectly!) • #BCBR2019 #MTB #JlVelo #HoneyStinger #SweetenTheBurn #Wahooligan #FierceAndFab #StokedAsHell

#TBT to playing in my old stomping grounds — my favorite thing in my favorite place. ❤ I'm missing this home playground of mine big, big, BIG time right now, but thinking about how grateful I am for all the things it has taught me and all the fun that's been had out on that dirt over all these years. Meanwhile, I'm continuing to #LeanIn hard to the new adventures in front of me here in CO, recognizing their value as they challenge and push me in totally new ways, and working to get every last drop of goodness that I can out of these stomping grounds, too. #HOME #TheTrailsThatBuiltMe #MountainPlayground #CaliforniaGirl #ExploreMore #OhThePlacesYoullGo #OnABike

All aboard the pain train! 😝 — Slowly but surely crawling my way back into race shape, and man does it feel good to be on my way! — Jumped into two local evening races these past couple weeks, and while it absolutely hurt like hell to push the throttle, it's been SO great to have the opportunity to get these first hard efforts of the season under my belt and remember what it feels like to race again (ALL THE OUCH — but also: so addictively AWESOME!!). — Very grateful for these chances to go through all the motions, re-learn some of the things I'd forgotten, practice some different tactics, make some silly mistakes and get the post-race-cough mega-hacking out of the way before hopping back on to the pro circuit. — I am certainly still very much a work in progress, but I've had some really great sensations out there and feel so much stronger and more prepared with these efforts behind me. Most of all, as tough as those first couple races back inevitably feel, it gives me the taste I needed to feel super eager for more. SO thrilled about that, and fired up for the race season ahead! — Big thanks to @aspencyclingclub for hosting top-notch, super fun events right here in the Roaring Fork Valley, for helping me iron out the kinks, and most of all for lighting a fire under my belly!

Everyone will probably agree that our eyes are one of the most important organs in our bodies. Having a bad eyesight limits you in a number of activities like driving, reading, working, etc. Some people are genetically prone to having a bad eyesight and others don't have to worry about a thing. On top of that, people from both groups can damage their vision by watching too much TV at night, staring at their smartphones, overusing eye drops, etc.
Luckily, as with every other organ in your body, you can maintain good health of your eyes with a proper diet. Some foods are known to benefit your eyesight and prevent it from deteriorating. Besides that, regular visits to your optometrist are a must. In this article, we will go over the foods that are good for health and every eye doctor would recommend them. Therefore, grab your grocery bag and make the first move towards your new diet.
First of all, let's talk about eggs. Eggs are probably the perfect food. They're a great source of nutrients that benefit your whole body, including the eyes. Specifically, vitamin A and lutein from eggs are what promotes good eye health. They help prevent the eyes from drying out and reduce chances of the night blindness, a condition that hinders your vision in low-light environments.
Next up on our list are citrus fruits. Fruits like lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and limes are a great source of vitamin C. They are not only delicious and overall healthy for your organism, but they will also reduce chances of contracting cataract and macular degeneration conditions. Eating even one orange a day will benefit your eyes greatly.
What can we say about nuts, they're a super snack – a great source of omega-3 acids that benefit your whole body. Whether you prefer walnuts, almonds or any other type of nuts, they should be a part of everyone's diet, unless you are allergic to them.
No healthy food guide can go without mentioning fish. When it comes to benefiting your eyesight, cold-water fish like salmon, tuna, and sardines are the way to go. Same as nuts, they're rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which will reduce risks of dry eyes, macular degeneration and even cataracts. If you don't enjoy eating fish, no worries. There are fish oil supplements that can supply you with omega-3 acids.
Last on our list are green veggies. Broccoli, spinach, kale and peas are full of zeaxanthin and before-mentioned lutein. These antioxidants are great for fighting macular degeneration and cataracts. Eating them on a daily basis will prevent progression of these conditions and stop new ones from forming.
With that, we come to an end. Eyes are sensitive organs and if we don't care for them properly, we can start suffering from irreversible conditions. But as you can see there are plenty of ways to improve your eye health without having to visit a doctor. So, dig into nuts, oranges, fish and other foods from our list and you will have the sharpest vision possible.

Q: Convert the month difference into integer The dataset with datetime columns as below, I converted to the period as month and calculated the difference. I would like to convert the output as an integer, but failed to do it.
ID    StartDate    CurrentDate
a     2019-03-05   2019-06-18
b     2019-02-05   2019-07-20
c     2019-01-23   2019-07-25

df['start_month_year'] = df['StartDate'].dt.to_period('M')
df['current_month_year'] = df['CurrentDate'].dt.to_period('M')
df['tenure'] = (df['current_month_year'] - df['start_month_year'])
df['tenure'].astype(int)

A: Here is one way
df.CurrentDate.dt.year*12+df.CurrentDate.dt.month-(df.StartDate.dt.year*12+df.StartDate.dt.month)
Out[512]:
0    3
1    5
2    6
dtype: int64

To fix your code adding astype before the result became pandas.tseries.offsets.MonthEnd

(df['CurrentDate'].dt.to_period('M').astype(int)-df['StartDate'].dt.to_period('M').astype(int))

A: Let's have some fun with pandas.tseries.offsets:
Using your code, you can get the number of offsets, n, by using the apply to retreive this attribute from the pandas.tseries.offsets object like this:
df['start_month_year'] = df['StartDate'].dt.to_period('M')
df['current_month_year'] = df['CurrentDate'].dt.to_period('M')
df['tenure'] = (df['current_month_year'] - df['start_month_year'])
df['tenure'].apply(lambda x: x.n)

Output:
0    3
1    5
2    6
Name: tenure, dtype: int64

However, I like @WeNYoBen's method better.
