could extend a greater distance than his dives had taken him. So Starnawski led a Czech-Polish expedition to explore the cave, supported in part by a National Geographic grant, which included numerous dives over the past two years to collect more data. The limestone abyss was recently measured with the assistance of a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV), and determined to be the world's deepest.
During a 2014 dive, Starnawski reached 656 feet (200 m) deep, which he believed to be the bottom of the underwater cave. However, he found a narrow opening that led to another vertical tunnel extending beyond the probe Starnawski was using to measure the cave's depth — the line ran out at 1,260 feet (384 m), just shy of Pozzo del Merro, which measures 1,286 feet (392 m) deep. [Amazing Caves: Pictures of the Earth's Innards]
"He is a deep-cave diver, so he was keen to explore the deepest parts of the system," Marcin Jamkowski, a member of the expedition team and an adventure filmmaker, told Live Science.

Returning to the cave last year, Starnawski found the narrow passage had widened and he was able to squeeze through to a depth of 869 feet (265 m). He released another probe, this time hitting "bottom" at 1,214 feet (370 m), which was likely the top of debris from the collapsed passage.
A dive on Tuesday (Sept. 27) finally determined the cave's actual, record-breaking depth. The expedition team used ROV technology to reach the base of the cave, because depths past 400 meters are beyond the limits of scuba diving, Jamkowski said.
"There had been some dives done by the oil industry to such depths (so-called "saturation diving"), but they last approximately a month, surface to surface," Jamkowski wrote in an email. "This can never be done in the cave like this one, so the obvious choice was to send the robot where the man can't go."
Once the team explored the cave's depths, they found fallen trees, logs and branches at the bottom, suggesting the cave had changed its shape, according to Jamkowski. The configuration of the current shaft would not accommodate natural debris to fall from the cave's entrance, he said.
They also found the cave to be surprisingly large, as it appears to follow a natural rock feature or a fault line "eaten by the hot water going from the deep spring," Jamkowski said. The team plans further exploration and research into the cave.

The Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary is a Baroque Roman Catholic parish church located in the village of Għaxaq, Malta.

History
Records show that since 1511, a church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary stood where the current church stands today. When Għaxaq became an independent parish in 1626, the church became the parish church. The church was modified and enlarged multiple times, notably in 1655. Nonetheless, a new Baroque church was built instead between 1723 and 1760. The new church was consecrated on May 2, 1784.

Interior
The church includes a number of artifacts, amongst these the titular statue of the Blessed Virgin, carved in wood by Mariano Gerada in 1808. Another statue which could be found in this church is that of Saint Joseph which was made by Fratelli Bertarelli of Milan in Italy in the year 1932 and is also carved in wood. The paintings which decorate the church's ceiling were painted by Emvin Cremona during the 1960s while other works of art date back to the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries mostly painted by famous Maltese artists: Gio Nicola Buhagiar, Francesco Zahra, Rokku Buhagiar and Gianni Vella among others.

What is the role of local governments in ensuring human rights? Are they of significance or is it the state's responsibility to protect human rights ? In their statement provided for the UN Human Rights Council in May 2013, the Egypt Habitat International Coalition discusses this topic, and underlines the importance of local governments in this regard.
Human rights address and tie the state, that bears the responsibility to ensure them. However, that raises the question of the state's constitutive parts. Since states consists of different administrative levels, composed of civil servants and authorities, human rights obligations are tied not just the State, but to local levels as well.
An integrated perspective is necessary that puts multiple levels such as the central government and the local governments in charge of ensuring human rights. While the state should provide the environment to facilitate the implementation of human rights obligations and responsibilities, local governments face the task of setting the foundation to enable people to realize their human rights.
The integration of central government and local governments is an important step towards the realization of human rights, such as the right to water and sanitation and the human right to food. Good practices and policy models in both areas have shown that local governments play a central role in the protection and realization of these human rights.
This perspective and experience falls in line with The Hunger Project's approach to strengthen local governments and structures as one step to end hunger, and to ensure the human right to food. Local governments are closest to the people and thus can best be aware of (a lack of) their basic needs and their human rights situation in general. Therefore, by being aware of the situation locally, and at the same time by having the resources and capabilities to act and react, local governments can play an important role in the ensuring and realization of human rights.

Some of you could wonder: "What a strange title, why does he want to put a theremin inside his guitar?"
Don't ask, i just want to use the strange sound effects that you can get out of a theremin.. And without touching anything..
It's kind of a challenge, but i know that some ZVex Probe pedals (working with capacitance detection) were integrated in some guitars, close to the strings and the pickups, and it worked well..
Okay, technically, of no help... but I couldn't help recalling the Pagelli "Avantair" guitar, which incorporates an Alesis AirFX unit.
Hum, i don't really like the overall aspect lol..
To avoid undesired capacitances, the main thing is about the ground: i've got to have an output that is referrenced to the ground, but i need the antenna's capacitance to be calculated from an other potential (or a virtual ground)..
Why not use a mic stand as the pitch "antenna"? When you come near it, or bring the neck of your guitar near it, it would act the same as if it were just your hand.
Yeah, not a bad idea, but the main idea was to have a small theremin with a small field range to put it inside the guitar and so to be able to use it everywhere..
Maybe a Korg Kaoss pad would be a better choice than a theremin. The singer out of Muse has one, it looks and sounds brilliant.
Korg has recently brought out mini version, the 'mini KP' which would be fantastic for this sort of thing. Ans they're great little machines.
Yeah, that's the idea of the kaoss pad that led me to the theremin..
Putting a kaoss in a guitar looks too much MUSEfan in my opinion..
I actually had an idea for a theremin-like "ether guitar." That's the reason I just registered, to get help and constructive criticism on it.
The goal would be to have it be played similarly to a guitar. The volume antenna would be near the bridge area, and by...I guess lifting your hand off of it...you'd allow sound to come through. The pitch would be controlled by a wire of sorts going up the neck. The closer your hand is on/near the wire to the bridge, the higher the pitch.
Now, I'm sure it's possible to achieve this with a one-antenna theremin design. But how might I be able to control the pitch by the hand position on the neck?
Isn't this latest idea a whole lot like Lev's theremin cello?
Maybe that is the place to start.
Are you wanting to finger this thing like a guitar?
Or would you rather it is just a theremin slung over your shoulder?
"Isn't this latest idea a whole lot like Lev's theremin cello?"
I would love to look at that more, but I have no idea how the fingerboard works.
"Are you wanting to finger this thing like a guitar?"
I am. Not sure about the original poster, though.

Q: What's DisplayAttribute.GroupName property used for? I'm trying to figure out the valid usages of DisplayAttribute.GroupName property.
MSDN says:

A value that is used to group fields in the UI.

but I wouldn't call it a comprehensive explanation. It makes me think that GroupName can be used to create groupboxes around certain fields. But then the remark:

Do not use this property to get the value of the GroupName property.
  Use the GetDescription method instead. A null value or empty string is
  valid.

seems to contradict it.
So what is this property for and should I use it (probably with custom template or custom ModelMetadataProvider) in order to render groupboxes around my fields?

A: In the MVC RTM source code there is no sign of usage.
The "GetDescription" remark might be a copy/paste error in the documentation (each string property seems to have a GetXXX counterpart that returns a localizable value), so it should be most probably "GetGroupName" in this case.
UPDATE:
I would use it exactly for that: group fields together that belong together from the UI point-of-view. As this is just data annotation on the model, it declares only that these fields belong to one logical group "somehow" on the UI, the but concrete presentation details depend on the "UI engine" that displays the model based on the metadata.
I think the most meaningful way to "render" this on the UI is exactly what you said: wrapping the grouped fields into a section or fieldset.
Of course there might be future extensions of MVC or other custom extensions that do some kind of grouping on the UI "automatically" (without writing custom code that examines the metadata and generates the sections) based on this attribute property. But I'm quite sure that such an extension would do something very similar that you would do currently.

A: I ended up writing this class to make the GroupName more easily accessible:
public class ExtendedDataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider : DataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider
{
    public const string Key_GroupName = "GroupName";

    protected override ModelMetadata CreateMetadata(IEnumerable<Attribute> attributes, Type containerType, Func<object> modelAccessor, Type modelType, string propertyName)
    {
        ModelMetadata modelMetadata = base.CreateMetadata(attributes, containerType, modelAccessor, modelType, propertyName);
        DisplayAttribute displayAttribute = attributes.OfType<DisplayAttribute>().FirstOrDefault();

        if (displayAttribute != null)
            modelMetadata.AdditionalValues[ExtendedDataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider.Key_GroupName] = displayAttribute.GroupName;

        return modelMetadata;
    }
}

And this extension method:
public static string GetGroupName(this ModelMetadata modelMetadata)
{
    if (modelMetadata.AdditionalValues.ContainsKey(ExtendedDataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider.Key_GroupName))
        return (modelMetadata.AdditionalValues[ExtendedDataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider.Key_GroupName] as string);

    return null;
}

Developed for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista
Cryptography library
This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/)
Encryption [derived from Greek κρύπτω krypt� �hidden�], is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm (called cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The result of the process is encrypted information (in cryptography, referred to as ciphertext). In many contexts, the word encryption also implicitly refers to the reverse process, decryption to make the encrypted information readable again (i.e. to make it unencrypted).
The history of cryptography begins thousands of years ago. Until recent decades, it has been the story of what might be called classic cryptography � that is, of methods of encryption that use pen and paper, or perhaps simple mechanical aids. In the early 20th century, the invention of complex mechanical and electromechanical machines, such as the Enigma rotor machine, provided more sophisticated and efficient means of encryption; and the subsequent introduction of electronics and computing has allowed elaborate schemes of still greater complexity, most of which are entirely unsuited to pen and paper.
Until the 1970s, secure cryptography was largely the preserve of governments. Two events have since brought it squarely into the public domain: the creation of a public Data Encryption Standard (DES); and the invention of public-key cryptography.
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) was selected as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the United States in 1976. DES is now considered to be insecure. In January, 1999, distributed.net and the Electronic Frontier Foundation collaborated to publicly break a DES key in 22 hours and 15 minutes. There are also some analytical results which demonstrate theoretical weaknesses in the cipher, although they are infeasible to mount in practice. The algorithm is believed to be practically secure in the form of Triple DES, although there are theoretical attacks. In recent years, the cipher has been superseded by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides strong encryption and has been selected by NIST as a Federal Information Processing Standard in November 2001 (FIPS-197), and in June 2003 the U.S. Government (NSA) announced that AES is secure enough to protect classified information up to the TOP SECRET level, which is the highest security level and defined as information which would cause "exceptionally grave damage" to national security if disclosed to the public.
The MySafePass Storage (Ver. 3.0.2) uses 256-bit AES encryption key
�The design and strength of all key lengths of the AES algorithm (i.e., 128, 192 and 256) are sufficient to protect classified information up to the SECRET level. TOP SECRET information will require use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths�[1].
The MySafePass Storage (version 3.0.2) implements 256-bit AES encryption algorithm, using full-strength general purpose Open Source cryptography library, developed by OpenSSL. It provides significantly better security than MySafePass Editor (version 2.5.6), which was originally based on Data Encryption Standard algorithm.
Not only the content of files stored in MySafePass storages is encrypted. The file and folder names themselves are encoded and can not be viewed without a password.

The finishing touch – a contemporary façade, applied by Squire and Partners, allows this beautiful London home to stand out among its neighbors. The leaves, made from aluminum, are shaped to mirror the natural contours of popular leaves such as maple or cranberry leaves. They are held securely to the surfaces by brackets, installed between the facade and the walls.
The surfaces of the home are accentuated by beautiful artificial leaves. They are given a three dimensional appearance as the leaves overlap and in many instances extend slightly outwards away from the building. The three dimensional look frames all the door and window spaces. This leaf-inspired contemporary façade is evident not only on the walls of the main building, but also the backdrop for the outdoor entertainment space.
The natural orange shade, that mimics the real color of maple leaves at autumn, helps to make the façade even more realistic and awe inspiring. The raw beauty of nature is tamed by the symmetrical patterns that emerge when the façade is viewed.
It is not very often that mankind finds balance between modernization and nature but the experts seem to have got it right with this visual feast of a home embraced by nature.


The Virtual Arboretum (VA) is computer-based, thus digital, representation of a defined, woody plant collection that shows the location, name, spacing, size, traits, and sometimes a digital image of the actual plant taxon. Frequently they are linked to Plant Collection Accession databases so you can also learn about the tree's sourcing, accession number, measurements, literature citations, and more. Usually you zoom in and out, move around the plantings, down roads, and sometimes see a real picture of the tree, shrub, or vine in question. I must quickly add that the virtual arboretum is not the same is most popular virtual tours which only contain photos from a plant here or there, are loosely or not connected to a complete map, have no interactive or search functions and are very simple in their technology. Indeed, the best kind of virtual arboretum is one called the Interactive Virtual Arboretum (IVA) because the user can manipulate their location on a map, search for taxa name, search by GPS grid, zoom in and out, move about space (similar to Google Maps and Google Streetview), and otherwise make the arboretum's representation react to their input. I've even used these to find a rest room and that may be a more pressing need than finding Picea abies 'Cranstonii' on the next hill.
The term virtual arboretum is sometimes used for a campus, city, or region which thinks that cataloging all the old trees in the city or region is something more than it was 50-100 years when those trees were planted. These we call Regional Tree Finders because they are not a defined, woody plant collection in any true sense, conduct little or no scientific research, and they are not curated or managed as is a true arboretum or botanical garden, even if they have regular arboricultural care. The Campus Virtual Arboretum is a very valid concept but it should be rigorously curated, updated for scientific purposes, with detailed data available to researchers, professors, and students, and have an organization that is close to or identical to botanical garden system. The Interactive Garden Map or Interactive Arboretum Map is a different thing than the true VA.These typically have you click a highlight on the overall garden map to show a specific garden name and theme and sometimes a small gallery from it. Showing just threes pictures from the conifer collection does not count as a virtual arb, friends.
The virtual arboretum is not a new concept in terms of the internet. It started sometime in the 80's with CAD-type drawn garden beds that let you click on a plant shape and see it's name and maybe something about it. None of these survive today as far as we can determine. Later you got a picture of the plant itself by clicking it's picture or name or icon. These took two forms, one the Real Virtual Arboretum, a faithful representation of the real space in time with known plant and the Fictional Virtual Arboretum that was entirely made up. The later let people dream of vast gardens they did not have space, time, or money to actually make real. Some fantasy plans were designs that later turned into reality. Whether then virtual arb actually exists or is a complete fantasy of the human mind, they are more than 3-dimensional and can change over time in the 4th dimension. If you append the term 4-D to these type of VA's, this implies the garden can be aged or de-aged, making the plants grow ahead in time or receed to an earlier year.
Harvard's Arnold Arboretum Explorer - very robust for one of the world's most important historical woody plant collections. The plant you find here are not only some of oldest in the Western World for the taxon (because they introduced and/or named them) but are many times the largest known for older cultivars.
University of Washington, Washington Park Arboretum Interactive Map - there are both desktop and smartphone versions. Very impressive. It can be confusing at first so press + a few times to drill down to the actual plant blobs.
J.C. Raulston Arboretum (all taxa list) - they take a different approach. First of all....you search for a plant name or click on a plant from the complete inventory. Next you get a highlighted bed number. Click on that and the taxa's location appears.
Dawes Arboretum Explorer - any many ways the Dawes is the best, most complete overall collection of woody plant cultivars in North America. Where else are you going to find 62 Fagus, 407 Acer, 392 Ilex, 252 Picea, 89 Aesculus, 63 Ginkgo, 117 Quercus, 100 Hamamelis, 352 Pinus, and 142 different Viburnum taxa? They took over the mantle of the Arnold decades ago. And unlike many woody collections they have both the very old stuff and the new, rare clones too. Their mouse-over functions on the map are very quick, allowing you to virtually browse many beds and borders in little time.
University of Georgia campus arboretum - this shows major trees on the UGA Athens campus and is useful for students studying their plant ID. Whether you want to see a Wirt L. Wynn holly or an Autumn Sunset serviceberry, this site is here to help.
Elmhurst College Arboretum hosted by ArborScope™ - Bartlett Tree Research offers the ArborScope™ service that helps institutions manage their tree populations on maps. That is very close to a virtual arboretum if not identical because there is curation of the arboricultural nature.
Charles R. Keith Arboretum (Pickoretum) - this collection near Chapel Hill, NC has more than 5000 different woody taxa due to decades of work by retired Duke University Professor Charlie Keith. In some genera more species than anyone else including the famed Arnold Arboretum; partly because USDA 7 allows both very hardy and subtropical taxa in one garden. Now in private hands it is being developed under the name Pickoretum (for the site's original Pickard Mountain)it can be rented. The site linked here has mostly dot and no search functions but you'll find some interesting imagery and names.

Everytown Endorses Biden, Pledges $60 Million to Influence Elections
Micheal Bloomberg continues his attack against guns as his Everytown for Gun Violence endorses Joe Biden and pledges $60 million to influence elections.
Failed Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg continues to effect Gun Election 2020. Everytown for Gun Violence, Bloomberg's anti-gun organization, recently pledged $60 million to influence elections. The organization also gave its ringing endorsement to Joe Biden.
Gun Election 2020: Democratic Hopefuls Draw Their Battle Lines
Everytown Endorses Biden
The endorsement comes ahead of "mini-Super Tuesday," with primaries scheduled in several states. For gun owners, seeing Everytown's endorsement should raise immediate warning flags about a candidate.
"There's nothing subtle about this endorsement," said Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Chairman Alan Gottlieb in a press release. "Everytown President John Feinblatt told the Associated Press that Biden's gun control record is clear. Biden supported the Brady Bill in 1993, he opposed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, and he's backed every gun control measure to ever come along.
"On top of that," Gottlieb continued, "embracing gun ban extremist Beto O'Rourke recently in Texas was clearly a warning that if he's elected president, Biden will make good on his threats to make radical gun control a top priority."
$60 Million to Influence Elections
Even more alarming than endorsing Biden, Everytown plans to spend $60 million on elections across the country. The organization made it clear it intends to influence elections. It's mission is to defeat pro-gun candidates in every race possible. And it has a track record of success. In 2019, Everytown pumped $2.5 million into Virginia, helping to flip the General Assembly. Since then, Virginia gun owners remain under siege, as newly elected officials attempt to pay back Everytown and push the organization's anti-gun agenda.
"Gun safety is going to be one of the most powerful issues in the election this year," Charlie Kelly told washingtonpost.com. Kelly runs House Majority PAC, a like-minded super PAC working to flip seats in the House. "We are going to work to ensure that high-likelihood voters in the suburbs know where their candidates stand."
NRA Plans to Fight
Meanwhile, the NRA faces questions of its own, fighting litigation on multiple fronts. The NRA spent big on Trump's election in 2016, and it says we can expect the same in 2020.
"The NRA will be very active in 2020, as we are in every election cycle," NRA spokeswoman Amy Hunter said in a statement, reported washingtonpost.com. "Unlike Michael Bloomberg, the NRA won't be pouring billions into the radical groups that are conspiring to steal freedom from other Americans. Our activities in 2020 will be smart, strategic, and reflective of the passion of our members, who turn out to vote. Our opponents cannot say the same."
But no race will capture the attention as does the presidential election. And Biden also looks to be the presumptive winner of the Democratic nomination. With Bloomberg's money, and the DNC's agenda, Biden will become the face of gun control this election cycle.
"It comes as no surprise that Everytown has endorsed Biden," Gottlieb noted. "When Bloomberg left the campaign trail, and subsequently threw his considerable wealth behind the former vice president, the writing was on the wall that Bloomberg will do everything in his power to put Joe Biden in the White House. As we saw in Virginia last year, buying elections has become Bloomberg's stock in trade, except when it comes to his own failed candidacy.
"Joe Biden has never been a friend to gun owners or the Second Amendment," Gottlieb observed. "Everytown's endorsement cements Biden's Second Amendment assault credentials."
Now that Everytown endorses Biden, and pledges $60 million to flip elections, the coming battle is increasingly clear. Gun Election 2020 will shape gun rights like no other before it. In 2020, we need everyone to vote pro-2A.

Taurus Defender: 5-Shot .357 Built for Personal Defense


Miss Cardwell is the Class Teacher with support from Mrs Raymond, Teaching Assistant. Together they support all the children's learning and progress. We are also very lucky to be supported by volunteers and students throughout the year as well.
Our classroom is a lively and stimulating environment which supports and extends the children's learning through play, alongside more focused teaching strategies. The children are encouraged to be independent when taking care of their own belongings. They are also shown how to share and tidy up as part of the daily routine. We enrich our curriculum by taking the children on trips into the community and further afield in the Summer Term. We also enjoy visitors in school who can share their knowledge and skills.
The children in Foundation Stage are welcomed into school on a part time basis but quickly move to coming in on a full time basis. We begin by establishing cooperation through routines and build upon the hard work that parents have already done. The teaching of phonics and numeral recognition starts immediately, and we continually assess each child's understanding through a variety of means in order to plan for future teaching.
Children will bring home a book and some letter sounds in the first few weeks of school. We encourage parents to practise and reinforce reading skills at home every day.
Children also learn to count and play with number and quantity in a practical sense.
The children take part in PE activities on a Wednesday.
Parrett Class staff are available for brief discussions on the playground or in the classroom from 8.50am every morning. As school begins at 9.00am, we encourage parents to make an appointment for deeper discussions.
The next 'Learn with Us' session will be on Thursday, 13 June 2019 from 2.30pm-3.30pm.
The children are rewarded smiley face points for following our class rules. When they have reached five, they are then rewarded with a merit sticker for their personal merit card. Children receiving 20, 40 and 60 merits receive a special certificate in school assembly from the Head of School.

TRANSFORM YOUR HAIR! Introducing thermal ionic straightening, a procedure that's extremely effective in taming curly or frizzy hair. This cutting-edge technology uses ions – electrically charged molecules that exist naturally in the atmosphere. When combined with heat, a steady stream of negatively-charged ions are created. It is these negative ions that smooth and close the hair cuticle leaving hair shiny and frizz-free.
Unlike traditional chemical straighteners, which leave hair dry, brittle, and damaged, this process restores the moisture balance of the hair, leaving it soft, smooth, shiny and straight. Your hair looks natural and is much more manageable.

Reddit Is the Election's Newest Factchecker
Megan Garber for The Atlantic 2012-10-04 15:43:11 UTC
Follow @TheAtlantic
Factchecking has become a cottage industry, a common — and expected — accompaniment to political events as they play out in real time. News organizations now have factchecking arms as a matter of course; nonprofits, under the auspices of universities, do similar work in the name of the uphill battle that is keeping politicians honest.
Now, though, there's a new factchecker in town. And its name is Reddit.
Earlier this week, redditor timothyjchambers proposed a new experiment, one that would offer "real-time (or as close to it as we can) crowd-sourced fact-checking of the debate." The subreddit, like its more professional counterparts, would be devoted to the often difficult work that is assessing politicians' claims in, essentially, real time.
Because "if you're watching the debate," another redditor put it, "you might as well get the facts, not just the spin."
The factcheck experiment, in one sense, couldn't have chosen a better subject, since so much of last night's presidential debate involved he said/he said bickering about basic facts. ("This is your tax plan," the president told his opponent. "No, it's not," came the rejoinder.)
For the most part — unsurprisingly, given the ad hoc approach to the experiment — the results of the reddited factcheck were mixed. The bickering among commenters often resembled the bickering taking place onstage. For example, this:
Many of the comments, as well, were simply copied from earlier reports from sites like Factcheck.org. (In fact, several users asked explicitly for summaries of the crowdsourced factchecking their fellow redditors produced — which is to say, they asked for the kind of summary-focused narratives that are the bread and butter of sites like PolitiFact and Factcheck.org.)
What's fascinating, though, is the idea of redditored factchecking itself, and the discussions that took place both before and after the debate. How do you achieve that crucial thing for crowdsourcing — scale — on a reddited version of PolitiFact? How do you ensure that party operatives don't infiltrate and pollute the communal attempt at truth-squading with biased untruths? How do you put Reddit's voting system to use for something that is trying to be political and apolitical at the same time? (Editor's note: Perhaps this is a problem with the whole recent fact-checking enterprise?)
As HiImTed put it: "I'll try and help. I'll be watching. I've been paying attention to everything reasonably well, so if I hear something that raises an eyebrow, I think I can quote it and refute it in an acceptably short amount of time." And Gates9 echoed that sentiment: "Looking forward to your analysis guys and gals. Reddit has become a mainstay to assist me in weeding through the bullshit. Thanks for that."
The reddit factcheck was, in every way, an experiment. And we'll see whether the effort continues as the presidential campaign marches on. There are, for better or for worse, many more debates to be had. For now, though, the PoliticalFactChecking subreddit has offered a nice insight into a community as it's trying to create something for the civic good. The whole conversation is well worth a read.

A4D Workshops: Opera aboard the Angel, May 2017
OPERA ABOARD THE ANGEL COMMUNITY CANAL BOAT
May 4, 11, 18, 25 2017
A huge thank you to John Checkley and the Angel Community Canal Boat Trust for their generous supply of the Angel Canal Boat for these sensational trips, and to the charming and incredibly gifted Vivien Conacher for leading each session with wit, wisdom and wondrous singing!
If you ever find yourself on Islington High Street, you needn't fear: a quiet idyll, safe from the hustle and bustle of the city, is only a few minutes from your grasp. Take a right turn past the York pub, grab a quick coffee from the Daily Grind café, and make your way down to Graham Street Park. If you can make it past the dogs and children running amok and causing mayhem, you will find yourself face to face with the beautiful and vibrant Angel Community Canal Boat, the 'Angel II of Islington'. It's red, green and yellow colouring welcomes you on board, as does its skipper, that old seadog John Checkley!
Settle down on the comfy green cushions inside the boat, or if you're feeling brave and want to risk the elements, seat yourself outside, where you'll find views of the Regent Canal, its birds and beasts and the strange riverfolk who dwell on the waters of Camden and Islington. As John fires up the boat and eases it gently from its mooring, soprano extraordinaire Vivien Conacher warms up her vocal chords, and yours, with lip trills and deep breathing practised by the finest opera singers from here to the gondolas of Venice.
As the boat sets off down the canal, sailing past a small floating nest or family of swans, Vivien opens the glorious singing with a group rendition of the classic 'Oh what a Beautiful Morning!' from the musical Oklahoma. If you are lucky, the sun might just peep out from behind the clouds, before scurrying back: he's not ready for summer yet.
A Capella singing of Scottish folk song 'The Water is Wide' serenades passers-by as the Angel arrives at the first and only lock of the journey, and begins its slow descent into the murky waters at the base of the canal. 'Moon River', in the style of the sublime Audrey Hepburn, soon follows, and Vivien encourages you to look out for particularly striking sounds, such as the fricative 'F's in 'two drifters, off to see the world' and the sibilant 'S's of 'I'm crossin' you in style, some day'.
This enchanting rendition leads the group into the mouth of the Islington Canal tunnel, 960 yards long: darkness descends on the group, but for a small light far away at the close of what seems to be a never-ending passage. The drip and splash of the water falling from the roof of the tunnel onto the group below echoes, as Vivien's voice lifts above and around the boat. Through the darkness, the group listen to the sway and ebb of Gabriel Faure's 'Au bord de l'eau', followed by Poulenc's 'Les Chemins de L'Amour', in waltz time. The group clicks, taps their feet, sways their shoulders or claps along as they please, while Vivien directs her lilting tones outwards from the cubby hole of the boat's interior into the tunnel ahead, the sound reverberating and rebounding off the cold stone. Transporting us to other times and other places, Vivien concludes our journey through the tunnel with an A Capella performance of Bernstein's 'Somewhere' from the heart-breaking, classic musical West Side Story, her voice gently ativan online prescription fading on the final notes.
At the end of the tunnel there has to be a light, and the Angel emerges into a glorious rush of sunshine. The group throws off their blankets as they are plunged into a tentative summer warmth, and Vivien challenges them to further warm up their vocal chords with a rendition of 'Toreador', from Bizet's spectacular and legendary opera Carmen. Everybody's favourite, the Toreador holds his note for as long as humanly possible to show off his incredible talent: waiting their turn patiently, the group launches into the chorus with gusto, slapping their knees in time with the heavy beat.
Still thinking of 'two flashing eyes', the group is whisked onto less familiar ground, enjoying the powerful melody of Giuseppe Verdi's 'Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves' from the opera Nabbuco or humming along to Giacomo Puccini's peaceful and soothing 'Coro a bocca chiusa (The Humming Song)' from Madame Butterfly. As the canal boat passes a small row boat, faithfully paddled along by a kindly gentleman whose wife looks on despairingly, the group waves and sends messages of support: 'Keep going!'. The Angel is the envy of all the riverfolk along the Regent's Canal each Thursday morning, as its inhabitants sail along, floating carefree and uplifted by their singing. As the boat arrives at King's Cross and makes it way past the imposing King's Place, lunchers look out across the water at the warbling vessel and smile.
Vivien kicks off the return journey, as John guides the boat around and makes it homeward bound, with the vintage classic 'Que Sera Sera (Whatever will be, will be)', echoing the tranquil and carefree mood of the group. She then challenges the group to split into parts, assigning men and women's roles to the group as they begin a rendition of 'Some Enchanted Evening' from the musical South Pacific. Vivien adds subtle dynamics to the singing, prompting the group's voices to rise in crescendo leading into the second chorus, and encouraging quiet singing for the final beautiful lines of the duet: 'Once you have found her, never let her go'. As the Angel makes its way back through the endless Islington Canal tunnel, Vivien serenades the group with heavenly arias such as Schubert's 'Ave Maria' and Cesar Franck's 'Panis Angelicus', transforming the darkness into quiet and pensive reverie.
After emerging from the tunnel, John works hard as the boat rises in the lock, and Vivien works the group's vocal chords just as hard, this time donning her nun's habit and leading them in a rousing performance of 'Climb Every Mountain' from the Rogers & Hammerstein classic The Sound of Music. Any resting birds on the canal's waters, or lunchtime strollers taking a short nap on the riverside, are soon roused by the high-pitched crescendo of the group as they urge Maria to find her dream and marry Captain Von Trapp, memorably played by Julie Andrews and the dishy Christopher Plummer.
Nonetheless, all good things must come to an end, and at the end of this sensational cruise Vivien forbids dim spirits and reassures the group with a rendition of Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again', forecasting good times still to come and wishing for a sunny day. If you are able to, why don't you stay on the boat for a short time to enjoy delicious chocolate biscuits and a hot cup of tea and chat with your fellow passengers, that is, if they have any voice left after all that singing!

Home Communities Dublin Life Into the Woods
by Hannah Bealer
When Megan and Mike James made the move to Winchell Court in Dublin's Coventry Woods neighborhood, the couple didn't go far. In fact, they moved only one street away from their former residence on Chaddington Drive.
That move, Megan says, made a world of difference for her school-aged children. It was important to stay in the same neighborhood so her 17 and 14-year-old sons, Bryson and Evan, could stay connected to their friends and continue attending Dublin Coffman High School. The family lived in their Chaddington Drive home for 17 years.
Bryson will be a senior, and Evan an incoming freshman. The couple's 19-year-old daughter, Mackenzie, is a student at the University of Dayton.
Megan and Mike found the home on the market as a rental and moved in March 2014. In five months, they completely renovated the house.
"We gutted it top to bottom," Megan says.
Now, the home has three-and-a-half baths and five bedrooms. The entire first floor was redone, as was the laundry room. The kitchen now has a more open floor plan, along with counter seating, which Megan says serves many purposes.
"(The counter seating) is good for sitting with the family between sports," Megan says. "It's also great for entertaining guests."
The layout of the home allows quiet and private spaces while also assuring that Megan and Mike can supervise their children.
"The areas (around the home) are not so noisy," Megan says. "The living room is more closed off to reduce noise and activity from the kitchen."
Throughout the home are five television sets that serve as viewing areas for sports games. The kitchen is home to one of those viewing areas, providing a spot for the kids and guests to snack while watching Cleveland Cavaliers games.
The James' former home on Chaddington Drive was a corner lot without much privacy, Megan says. Now, the kids have a large back yard that keeps them active.
"They play a lot of sports back there," Megan says. "There's a lacrosse net. When it rains, there's a creek in the back that ices over, and they can ice skate on it. Now, there are more private areas for the kids to congregate, like the basement and back yard."
The yard is used by the children and their friends year round, and Megan says supervising from the home's new deck is easy and convenient. A three-season room was also added, as well as an expanded driveway for Bryson's car.
While renovating the basement, Megan says, they did not change much. With teens in the house, she and her husband did not want to include a bar. Instead, the basement has a kitchenette, room for the kids to play games, ping-pong and a large movie viewing area. An exercise room was added, complete with a treadmill, a stationary bike and weights. There's also a spare bedroom in the basement.
On the first floor, what was originally a small bedroom was transformed into a mudroom for all of the kids' sporting equipment, shoes and jackets. The original family room now serves as a home office.
"We both work from home a lot," says Megan, who owns MJ2 Marketing Group. Mike is CEO of Fireproof Records.
There are four bedrooms on the top floor – the three bedrooms for the James' children as well as the master suite, which features one of the home's bathrooms and a walk-in closet.
"It was really important to me to have all the kids upstairs," Megan says. "In the old house, they could retreat more (to the bedrooms)."
Staying in Coventry Woods was important to the family, but so was staying in Dublin. Megan cites the "boom and growth" of the city as its main attraction.
As a family, they enjoy biking on the paths and walking to Historic Dublin. All the kids' friends are in a one-to-two-mile radius, Megan says.
"I love being a part of a city that's on the move," she says.

Alternative Homecoming Activities
Riley Regnier, Social Media Coordinator
Spartanburg High School's 2020 homecoming activities may have looked different from previous years, but everyone still had fun playing socially-distanced games, eating from local food trucks and voting for the senior and staff homecoming queens and kings.
Student Council worked hard to provide a safe and fun homecoming experience. During preparation, members put in extra work especially when the original plans for the event didn't work out. After revamping their ideas, Council came up with the theme of "Board Games." Even though the homecoming parade did not take place this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, everyone had the opportunity to participate in the "fun lunch" rotation. During 5th period, all classes were assigned wristbands and rotated through three different stations. At these stations, Vikings took part in field-day-type activities such as pie eating, a dunking booth and minute-to-win-it relay games.
At lunch, all classes had the option to purchase food from a variety of trucks including Chick-Fil-A, Willy Taco or Sugar-n-Spice. Concessions and bake sale treats were sold in addition to funnel cakes and shaved ice. Money made from the baked goods sale was donated to charity. Students and faculty participated in traditional spirit week dress up days, which were 'Mercia Monday, Tacky Tuesday, Class Day for Wednesday and Thursday, and Extreme Blue and Gold Friday. Members of the student council also decorated administrators' doors to mimic the board game theme.
During the fun lunch rotations, people watched the nominees for both the senior and faculty election to say a few words before the voting ended. The Corporation performed a jazz number in the arena featuring Hailey Millwood (12) and Tiras Stewart (12) as soloists.
This year, a new homecoming election was held for teachers. Everyone nominated their favorite teacher to run in the election. The nominees created bins for their classes to donate money to Relay for Life. Several of the nominees even created prizes for their classes if they won.
AP Human Geography teacher Dan Plonski took home the title of homecoming king. He rewarded his classes with a fun day outside to celebrate the big win.
"It feels great to be King!" Plonski said. "The notoriety of becoming SHS's first-ever faculty homecoming king is something that I will cherish for the rest of my career."
The homecoming faculty queen title was awarded to Angela Eaton who raised the largest amount of money for Relay for Life.
As for the selection of the senior homecoming king and queen, out of 12 girls who ran, Trinity Blackley (12) won the title. Catherine Karn (12) was runner up and Collene Belue (12) won the third-place crown. The ladies were not allowed escorts on the field in an effort to maintain social distancing rules.
"Winning this title makes me glad to know that I have a connection with most of the school and to be known among the students," Blackley said.
The title of homecoming king was awarded to Paris Ferguson (12). The traditional homecoming game was cancelled due to complications with COVID-19. Unfortunately, the winners were not able to accept their crowns on the field, but they were still honored at a different game in front of a home crowd.
Overall, Student Council was able to create a unique homecoming experience for all, despite the challenges of the pandemic.
"Homecoming took a lot of preparation, but we ended up making it work and came up with a new and better idea for this year and the next," Sallie Barre (10) said.

Q: How to add external javascript in react app I made a JavaScript particle animation and it works fine on a normal html website.
I tried implementing it into my react app using react helmet/useEffect but both didn't work and I don't know what's going on.
Here is my script:
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

canvas.style.position = 'absolute';
canvas.style.width = '100%';
canvas.style.height = '100%';

const container = document.querySelector('.particles');
container.appendChild(canvas);

let particleArray;

class Particle {
    constructor(x, y, dirX, dirY, size, color) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.dirX = dirX;
        this.dirY = dirY;
        this.size = size;
        this.color = color;
        this.scale = .1;
        this.counter = 0;
    }
    draw() {
        var gradient = ctx.createRadialGradient(this.x, this.y, this.size / 8, this.x, this.y, this.size);
        gradient.addColorStop(0, 'white');
        gradient.addColorStop(1, 'white');

        ctx.beginPath();
        ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, this.size, 0, Math.PI * 2, false);
        ctx.shadowColor = this.color;
        ctx.shadowBlur = 10;
        ctx.fillStyle = this.color;

        ctx.fill();
    }
    update() {
        if (this.x + this.size > canvas.width || this.x - this.size < 0) {
            this.dirX = -this.dirX;
        }
        if (this.y + this.size > canvas.height || this.y - this.size < 0) {
            this.dirY = -this.dirY;
        }

        this.size += this.scale;
        this.counter += .1;

        if (this.counter > 3) {
            this.scale = -this.scale;
            this.counter = 0;
        }

        this.x += this.dirX;
        this.y += this.dirY;

        this.draw();
    }
}

function init() {
    particleArray = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
        let size = Math.random() * 3;
        let x = Math.random() * (innerWidth - size * 2);
        let y = Math.random() * (innerHeight - size * 2);
        let dirX = (Math.random() * .4) - .2;
        let dirY = (Math.random() * .4) - .2;
        let colors = ['#721240']
        let color = colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)];

        particleArray.push(new Particle(x, y, dirX, dirY, size, color));
    }
}

function animate() {
    requestAnimationFrame(animate);
    ctx.clearRect(0, 0, innerWidth, innerHeight);

    for (let i = 0; i < particleArray.length; i++) {
        particleArray[i].update();
    }
}

init();
animate();

window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
    canvas.width = innerWidth;
    canvas.height = innerHeight;
    init()
})

And here is how I tried to add it to my react app in App.js:
<div className="particles">
    {useScript("./assets/particles.js")}
</div>

useScript is a react function using useEffect:
import { useEffect } from "react";

function useScript(url) {
    useEffect(() => {
        const script = document.createElement("script");

        script.src = url;
        script.async = false;

        document.body.appendChild(script);

        return () => {
            document.body.removeChild(script);
        };
    }, [url]);
}

export default useScript;

Please help I'm stuck...

A: Instead of injecting the script, why don't you directly inject the code itself in useEffect. That's worked for me on multiple occassions
This is my proposed code. console.log() things like canvas and particleArray at multiple places to get it right
import { useEffect } from "react";

function useScript(url) {
    useEffect(() => {
        const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

canvas.style.position = 'absolute';
canvas.style.width = '100%';
canvas.style.height = '100%';

const container = document.querySelector('.particles');
container.appendChild(canvas);

let particleArray;

class Particle {
    constructor(x, y, dirX, dirY, size, color) {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.dirX = dirX;
        this.dirY = dirY;

    }
    draw() {
        var gradient = ctx.createRadialGradient(this.x, this.y, this.size / 8, this.x, this.y, this.size);
        gradient.addColorStop(0, 'white');
        gradient.addColorStop(1, 'white');

        ctx.beginPath();

        ctx.shadowColor = this.color;

        ctx.fill();
    }

Ten sailors missing after US warship collides with tanker near Singapore
August 21, 2017 Edit
SINGAPORE/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ten sailors are missing after a US warship collided with an oil tanker east of Singapore on Monday, the US Navy said, the second accident involving US Navy destroyers in Asian waters in little more than two months. The guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain collided with the merchant vessel Alnic MC while heading to Singapore for a routine port call, the Navy said in a statement. "Initial reports indicate John S. McCain sustained damage to her port side aft," the Navy said. "There are currently 10 sailors missing and five injured." A search-and-rescue mission was under way involving Singaporean ships, helicopters and tug boats, as well as US Navy aircraft. Malaysian authorities said the collision happened in Malaysian waters in the South China Sea and that they were assisting in the search-and-rescue operation. The warship was currently sailing under its own power and heading to port, the Navy said, without specifying which port. The Alnic MC is a Liberian-flagged, 183 metre-long oil or chemical tanker of 50,760 deadweight tonnes, according to shipping data in Thomson Reuters Eikon. Shipping data showed it last sent a transponder signal at 2258 GMT Sunday and had since come to a halt 10-20 km (6-12 miles) off the east coast of the Pengerang peninsula in Johor, southern Malaysia. An Alnic crew member contacted later by Reuters by telephone said there was no oil spill from the tanker, which was carrying almost 12,00 tonnes of fuel oil from Taiwan to discharge in Singapore. "We have not discharged the tanker yet," said the crew member, who asked not to be identified. "We are proceeding to Raffles Reserved Anchorage, where the owners will investigate the matter. There was some damage to the valve but no oil spill." The waterways around Singapore are some of the busiest and most important in the world, carrying around a third of global shipping trade. SECOND COLLISION The collision is the second involving a US guided missile destroyer in the Pacific in nine weeks. The US Navy said last week it had removed the two senior officers and the senior enlisted sailor on the USS Fitzgerald, which almost sank off the coast of Japan after it was struck by a Philippine container ship early on June 17. That collision killed seven US sailors. The USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain are both ballistic missile defence (BMD) capable ships and part of the same Japan-based destroyer squadron. The Seventh Fleet has six ships assigned to BMD patrols, with half of those out on patrol at any one time. Asked whether the US Navy would need to bring forward other ships to maintain its strength, a spokesman for the Seventh Fleet said it was "way too early to know". The series of maritime mishaps in Asian waters comes at a tense time in the region. North Korea threatened last week to fire ballistic missiles towards the US Pacific territory of Guam, ratcheting up tensions with US President Donald Trump, who had threatened to unleash "fire and fury" on Pyongyang if it threatened the United States. The US Navy vessel involved in the latest collision is named for the father and grandfather of US Republican Senator John McCain, who were both admirals in the United States Navy. "Cindy & I are keeping America's sailors aboard the USS John S McCain in our prayers tonight - appreciate the work of search & rescue crews," McCain said on Twitter. Senator McCain is a Vietnam War-era naval pilot who was shot down and held prisoner for five-and-a-half years. He is now undergoing treatment for brain cancer.

UH OH: Another Top Democrat Announces Plans to Retire
San Francisco, CA / USA June 02, 218 Nancy Pelosi speaks at Tony Bennett Way Street Sign Unveiling
House Transportation Chair, Oregon Democrat Rep. Peter DeFazio is planning on retiring next year making him the 19th Democrat who has announced plans to retire.
"OREGON DEMOCRATIC REP. PETER DEFAZIO, house transportation chair, is retiring, several sources tell us," reported Punch Bowl News founder and NBC News contributor Jake Sherman.
🚨OREGON DEMOCRATIC REP. PETER DEFAZIO, house transportation chair, is retiring, several sources tell us.
Me and @bresreports
— Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) December 1, 2021
The news comes as Democrats' chances in 2022 continue to plummet. Even Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's future is in question considering in 2018, she promised to only serve one more term.
Check out what Fox News reported:
Eighteen House Democrats are taking a hike come January 2023, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's spot up top may be available for another Democrat if the party holds onto their razor-thin majority.
Pelosi, D-Calif., has yet to officially announce her decision for 2022 and beyond. Last year, she implicitly reaffirmed a 2018 promise that her current term would be the last one she would serve as speaker of the House.
Pelosi's office did not respond to Fox News' inquiry on whether the speaker would stand by her promise.
The speaker said in 2018 that she would limit herself to two terms – or four years – as the top lawmaker in the House.
More recently, Pelosi has dodged questions about whether she will run for reelection.
If Pelosi decides not to run in next year's election, she'll join a long list of Democrats who are bowing out ahead of what is projected to be a tough midterm election for their party.

ACL treatment in children varies widely; 90% return to sport after ACLR
Over the past 15 years, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in children and adolescents has increased. And although this population requires special considerations, in part due to their continued musculoskeletal growth, medical management of this condition varies widely.
Most volleyball-related ankle injuries occur during blocking
New evidence suggests that most volleyball-related ankle injuries are the result of a rapid inversion during blocking—often due to landing on an opponent or a teammate while attacking—rather than the injury occurring during plantar flexion, as once thought, according to a study published in the January 2018 issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
HIP STRENGTHENING: Optimizes PFP treatment
A study published in the January 2018 issue of the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy presents new insights and evidence-based suggestions into the addition of hip strengthening to knee strengthening for people with patellofemoral pain (PFP).
Hot tip to predict ulcer risk: Repeat temperature test for best results
The concept of foot temperature monitoring to identify areas of increased risk of ulceration in patients with diabetes is promising, but new research from the Netherlands suggests clinical use of the technology will require more than a single temperature assessment.

Gait findings support focus on proximal muscle function in people with diabetes
Lower extremity muscle force during gait differs significantly among patients with diabetic neuropathy, patients with diabetes but no neuropathy, and controls, according to research from Brazil that underscores the importance of maintaining proximal muscle function in patients with diabetes.
Variability in glycemic control can help estimate time needed to heal foot ulcers
Glycemic variability—fluctuations in HbA1c level from one visit to another—is significantly associated with foot ulcer healing time in patients with diabetes, according to research from the UK.
Runners' knees get a lift: Elevating heel cuts patellofemoral load
Wearing heel lifts in conventional running shoes can help reduce patellofemoral joint loading and may offer an alternative to gait retraining in runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP), according to research conducted at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Combination of four variables predicts 90% of recurrent lateral ankle sprains
A combination of four variables predicts 90% of cases of recurrent lateral ankle sprain within one year of an initial sprain, according to research from the University of Sydney in Australia.
Video overlay feedback helps improve biomechanics of sport-specific landing
Video feedback is associated with improved landing mechanics—suggesting a reduced risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury—during a sport-specific task, according to research from the University of Groningen Medical Center in the Netherlands.
Equinus and RA: Limited dorsiflexion exists without pain
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have decreased ankle dorsiflexion due to gastrocnemius contracture, even in the absence of foot and ankle pain, according to research from Michigan that may have implications for early intervention to minimize pain and dysfunction in this patient population.
Dialysis patients, even without diabetes, have high risk for ulceration, amputation
Patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing dialysis are at high risk for foot ulcerations and amputation, regardless of whether they also have diabetes, according to research from La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, that underscores the need for foot screening in this population.
Textured insoles enhance stride length, plantar sensation in individuals with PD
One week of textured insole wear is associated with improved plantar sensation and stride length in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), according to research from São Paulo State University in Brazil.
Strength drives survival: But benefits of training appear complex
Lower extremity strength appears to be a key variable in the relationship between mortality and compliance with national resistance exercise guidelines, according to research from the University of Mississippi in University, MS.
Return to activity after Achilles repair parallels heel-rise performance recovery
Recovery of triceps surae muscle strength, as indicated by heel-rise test performance, is associated with the ability to return to jogging and other athletic activities after an Achilles tendon repair, according to research from Teikyo University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan.
Pathomechanics in patients with hip OA suggest need for gait retraining
Altered hip mechanics during gait in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) suggest a role for rehabilitation interventions focused on more than hip abductor strengthening alone, accord- ing to research from the University of Leuven in Belgium.
Achilles prophecy: Early heel rise linked to later outcomes
Single-leg standing heel-rise test performance one year after Achilles tendon rupture is associated with the long-term recovery of ankle biomechanics, according to research from Gothenburg, Sweden. The findings may have implications for rehabilitation after Achilles injury, particularly with regard to relatively demanding activities such as jumping.
Online education helps reduce injuries in trail runners despite poor compliance
An online program designed to educate trail runners about injury prevention is associated with a significant decrease in running-related injury rate, even if runners don't significantly change their preventive behaviors, according to research from the Netherlands.
Navicular injury in college football players slashes odds of NFL success
National Football League (NFL) prospects with a history of navicular injury are significantly less likely to be successful at the professional level than those without such an injury history, according to research that underscores the importance of restoring gait and function after a navicular stress injury in athletes.
OA accelerants: 4 factors help hasten disease progression
Age and body mass index (BMI)—as well as their interactions with glucose concentration and static femorotibial alignment—contribute to increased risk of accelerated knee osteoarthritis (OA), according to research from Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston that could have implications for early diagnosis and intervention in this population.
Study suggests strawberry consumption can benefit obese adults with knee OA
The old adage about an apple a day keeping the doctor away may need to be expanded to include other fruits, in light of new findings that a high level of daily strawberry consumption can relieve pain and reduce markers of disease progression in obese adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Intraarticular NSAIDs and opioid meds may contribute to cartilage cell death
Treating lower extremity joint pain with intraarticular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid medications may contribute to cartilage cell death, which could accelerate the progression of osteoarthritis, according to an in vitro study from Stanford University in California.
Early warnings: Data support aggressive intervention
Osteoarthritis (OA) is commonly thought of as a disease that takes decades to manifest. But two new studies suggest some critical aspects of the ankle OA disease process actually develop quite quickly, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.
Physical examination could help predict risk of osteoarthritis after ankle sprain
