DIVIDE is partnered with Drafted, my fansite for Laguna. It covers the other half of FFVIII's story, and my actual favorite character.
Sophia's dedication to Quistis is nothing short of stunning. I've mentioned on this site that the other party members in FFVIII are largely pushed to the side in favor of Squall and Rinoa's development, and Quistis is perhaps the best example: she gets a strong introduction, but it falls off after that. Sophia explores this in depth, and shines a light on what makes Quistis who she is. Don't miss the fascinating exploration of the world's magic, either. A must-visit site.
If it's information on Selphie you're looking for, then look no further than Rapture. Lu has compiled everything and everything you could want to know about the head of the Garden Festival Committee. It's a site filled with as much personality as Sephie herself, and is absolutely worth a visit.
Interested in affiliating? I'm open to affiliating DIVIDE with Final Fantasy character tributes of a similar size and focus. Bonus points for FFVIII, but I'm open to anything from the series given the declining number of fansites these days. If you're interested, just contact me.
Unfortunately, there aren't as many FFVIII sites as there used to be, but the ones remaining are all of excellent quality. I've been visiting (and admiring) these sites for years, and I highly recommend you give them a visit.

U.S. Women's Soccer Team Captain Megan Rapinoe Quotes Nipsey Hussle to Celebrate 2019 World Cup Win

U.S. Women's soccer team captain Megan Rapinoe is a fan of the late Nipsey Hussle.
On Sunday (July 7), Rapinoe uploaded an Instagram post celebrating the U.S. winning the Women's World Cup title, and for the caption, she quoted a few lyrics from the late rapper.
"Ain't really trip on the credit, I just paid all of my dues. I just respected the game, now my name all in the news," her caption read, quoting Nipsey's 2018 track, "Hussle and Motivate." "Trippin' on all of my moves, quote me on this, got a lot more to prove- @nipseyhussle #tmc #cheesin."
The women's team won following a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final on Sunday. Megan herself also took home the Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards for best player and top goal scorer.
In recent Nipsey news, the battle over the trademark to his phrase The Marathon Continues seems to have come to an end. Both Nipsey's family and the Crips gang filed their own trademarks for the phrase and it looked like it was going to be an issue, but the Crips have since backed down and issued an apology.
"We are deeply sorry for any disruptions and melee that the trademark acquisition may have caused to his family, friends and fans," the Crips' statement reads. "We realize that our actions may have been offensive and we have reached out to his family, respectively Nip's sister, Samantha Smith."
You can view Megan's post for yourself below. RIP Nipsey.

and we have all been given the same Spirit.
In church we often hear the words "salvation" or "redemption." These technical words sound difficult and remote. Jesus, whose name means "God saves," tells us today what this "saving" means: He came to bring us freedom and liberation from all that alienates us from God and people and to make us capable of liberating one another. Indeed we are created and born to be free. That is the Good News he brings us. Let Jesus here among us make us free sons and daughters of God.
We know that it is not easy to bring together in one community people of different backgrounds, different talents, each with one's own brand of selfishness too. But what is impossible for us to do, God tries to do with us in Christ. In him God calls us together from our diversity and division caused by the alienation of sin. Through baptism we have become one body, one family, one community in Christ. Each has to contribute one's share, different from that of anyone else for the benefit of all and yet can remain true to oneself. Each of us becomes an irreplaceable part on which the whole body depends. In this unity in diversity let us praise the Father and eat the body of Christ that we may become more his body of the Church.
We are far from free, for we are captives of sin.
Let us ask the Lord to set us free.
that we may be free and alive and fully human.
your message of Good News.
the year of grace he proclaims.
for you and for people.
that all may enjoy your happiness.
into the one body of Jesus Christ.
in one community of faith, hope, and love.
the one visible body of Jesus Christ our Lord. R/ Amen.
First Reading Introduction: The People Were Moved By God's Word God's people were gathered as one by and for the Word of God. God's message upset them; yet they rejoiced in the Lord.
Through baptism, we have become constituent parts of the one body of Christ. Each part has to contribute toward the good of the whole.
To the people in the synagogue Jesus presents his liberating program of salvation. In Jesus the Good News of God's word is fulfilled.
Let us pray to our Lord Jesus Christ, who has spoken to each and all of us here. Let us ask him that his word may come to life in our hearts and in our deeds. Let us say: R/ Speak, Lord, we listen.
• Lord, give courage to our leaders and to all teachers in the Church, that they may help us to understand your word and proclaim it as Good News to all. And so we say: R/ Speak, Lord, we listen.
• Lord, unite in your word and your person all who call themselves Christians. Bring them together as brothers and sisters into your one body. And so we pray: R/ Speak, Lord, we listen.
• Lord, inspire by your word all the mighty of this earth. Help them to join forces to bring lasting peace, food, and human dignity to all. And so we pray: R/ Speak, Lord, we listen.
• Lord, open our eyes to the miseries of people; make us concerned about those imprisoned in their fears and in the grip of injustice. Make us lights to those in the dark. And so we pray: R/ Speak, Lord, we listen.
• Lord, make us receptive to your word. Free us from banality and fear, from our self-security and certainties. Give us new insight in your message, that we may live as we believe. And so we pray: R/ Speak, Lord, we listen.
Lord, we are gathered in your name. Be alive among us here, listen to our prayers and speak your forceful word in our lives, for you are or Lord for ever. R/ Amen.
Realizing how much we are often divided and need to be one as Christ's community, let us insistently pray to God our Father that he may bring us together in Christ. Let us say: R/ Our God, make us one in your Son.
• Father, you know how much the Church is polarized. Some resist all change of renewal, others impatiently run after every novelty. Let no one run too far ahead, let no one lag behind; help us grow together in Christ, we pray you: R/ Our God, make us one in your Son.
• Father, we suffer because Christianity is divided. Many Churches claim your Son as their Savior. Keep us from distrust and competition, make us respect each other's richness, and bring us together in your Son, we pray you: R/ Our God, make us one in your Son.
• Father, in our world there are rifts between the poor and the rich nations, between ideologies and power blocks. Make us reach out for peace and friendship beyond boundaries and barriers, we pray you: R/ Our God, make us one in your Son.
• Father, you know how many homes are broken, how there is often a gap between old and young. Let the older generation guide the young toward responsible freedom and let the young respect the ways of their parents, we pray you: R/ Our God, make us one in your Son.
God our Father, let our communities grow in your love in mutual respect, in acceptance of one another, in justice and fairness to all. This is our trusting prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. R/ Amen.
your Word spoken here in our midst.
into his own flesh and blood.
With grateful hearts we praise God our Father for letting his Son Jesus speak his Good News to us and staying with us in everyday life.
or that do not commit us to what we say.
and lived as he spoke.
that we may live according to his words.
and it became flesh here in our midst.
with his word and his body.
of our own poverty and emptiness.
and if then we commit ourselves to what we say.
and live by the word of the Lord. R/ Thanks be to God.

'Volatile,' 'incredibly dangerous': Images of raging flames as California wildfires burn
Billowing smoke and raging flames spread across California as wildfires in both northern and southern parts of the state injured people, forced evacuations and engulfed houses.
The Camp Fire has scorched over 28 square miles in Butte County, which is about 90 miles north of Sacramento, according to Cal Fire. Fire officials said some structures have been destroyed in addition to injuries.
In Southern California, the Hill Fire broke out Thursday afternoon and grew to 8,000 to 10,000 acres while jumping a major highway. Smoke from the fire could be seen from the scene of the mass shooting at a Thousand Oaks bar that left 12 people dead.
Here's a look at images and videos of the flames:

The amendment is the first item on the agenda which starts at 5:30 pm. tomorrow. Public comment will be taken as well. The outcome of the vote will be telling because it could draw another line between the conservatives on the Committee, including the Chair, and the progressive Mayor Strimling.

What these great chefs don't tell you is anything about how to stick the things back together, about how to cut the tops off the cakes so that they are straight, how to dip properly in chocolate, how to melt chocolate, any of it.
They pretend that it is easy but it is fiddly and stressful. Plus the instruction to use a muffin tin? My muffin tin is cavernous, an army of small children could sleep in it. Hmm…Maybe a mini muffin tin with teeny weeny holes? I made one batch in a jam tart tin and they came out all lumpy on top. Wet your finger and smooth the tops down, that should be in the recipe too.
So after a long tearful discussion with Brian, he went into the bowels of the garage and found a tin fetchingly named, a 'mini morsel' tin; one of my purchases, so far unused. This one he said, this will give you the same shape as the ones in the photo. I wept some more.
Desperate to console me, he went out and bought me a new handmixer. My thirty year old one died last year. He went to John Lewis, they had two that he thought were rubbish. He went to Comet; they had closed down. He finally went to Argos which had six and found one made by Wahl which seems to be pretty good. The trouble with the big ones is that they are too heavy and too powerful, what is needed for the 'whisk one egg and 40 g sugar' instruction is just a little ordinary mixer, the Kenwood can't do small amounts like this.
By now I had no choice, readers, at this point I was committed to making these things, Brian had got the kit, I gritted my teeth, took some more painkillers and got on with making a mess. By this point the dog had given up and gone back to bed.
Armed with my mini morsel tin and my new handmixer I set to. Does anyone know about adding melted butter to densely whipped eggs and sugar. Is there a secret? Does one add it cool ? (I am guessing yes) does one add it in a thin stream? (I'm guessing yes) does one fold it in or beat it in with the mixer? (no idea) All I know is that my bowl of fluff deflated both times in the blink of an eye when I added the butter.
The mixture got very thick and almost solid once the flour and almond meal went in. The next challenge, portioning out tiny even dollops. I take my hat off to all you patisserie people, this is where I start to fall down.
On the plus side, once I had smoothed the lumpy stuff down with a wet finger in the mini morsel set up, the mini morsel tin performed well and released all the little cakelets without a whimper. Score one to me.
But how to slice the tops off neatly? You need a sharp knife and to hold them on edge so you can cut straight – that or a Black and Decker workmate for petits fours. You also need a sharp edged teaspoon to get the middles out or you break through the sides of these tiny little things. I have some elderly silver teaspoons worn thin with age and they have very sharp edges so I used one of those.
Marmalade? we have loads of jars so I blobbed this in the middles and attempted to stick them together. Ok that bit wasn't too bad, fiddly but not impossible.
Then we come to the chocolate. Bain marie, ok, but the chocolate was in a bad mood and didn't want to play. Did I learn anything from the last time I ventured into dipped chocolate land with those mint chocolate yo-yo biscuits? No, I don't think so. Anyway I tried various combinations of fork (you have to be joking surely?) toothpicks, teaspoons, rubber spatulas etc. Dipping top down resulted in top detaching from base, pouring over was messy, rolling a bit hit and miss. There has to be something these chefs are not telling us. I reckon they say 'easy' and leave out instructions and 'how to do its' on purpose, leaving us poor mortals to stare dolefully at their perfect pictures with our chocolate streaked hands and our aching shoulders from over concentrating on inch sized bits of sponge goo and wondering forlornly how they do it.
So when you look at these photos, please don't think this is easy, a mere bagatelle; it is an illusion. This was harder work by far than making a few loaves of bread. I doubt I will do it again for a while.
I also attempted to 'food style' it for you. With no expense spared I cut up some ikea napkins with their faux Marimekko flowers and attempted various artistic arrangements. The current fad for food photos seems to be to take a pic of half of whatever it is, and blur the background. The sun came out at various points so I scuttled out with my plate into the garden and the bees buzzed and the flies instantly came to see what was going on so I came back in. The things this blogger does, honestly I think she is quite mad.
Those of you who are wiser and smarter than me at making little amuse-bouches and petits fours will no doubt have sage advice to offer me. But I think the best advice if you want to make these is to do it when you have lots of time to spare and nowhere particular to go, adopt a Zen like attitude and you will be fine. Or not as the case may be. The case for non-attachment gets stronger each day and for buying Jaffa cakes in the shops like normal.
However if someone wants to come and show me how to dip, I will trade them for a bread lesson, serious offer! I'll even put you up and give you dinner.
And just one last thing, don't be fooled by photos, just like fashion photos it is as easy as one, two, three to smooth out the bumps and take out the fingerprints and even add chocolate where there was none. Just remember that. Here are two of my photos. All I've done is lighten and 'retouch'. Brian will eat them whatever they look like and will be happy because he is a polite and decent chap. Take a look at the one on the far right, doctored in the first image and the original below.
The dog is fast asleep now and I have finished ranting and raving for one day. Wishing you all a happy weekend !
Oh, I'm so glad you're there. I looked half-an-hour ago, like a dog checking to see if a walk was in the offing, then went back to my basket to wait. I'm just about to crawl off to bed actually, it being that time in this part of the world and I'm feeling like Zeb. So I'll look forward to reading this post tomorrow. The 'morsels' look delicious. So sorry you are dogged by poor health – no pun intended. I do hope things take an upward curve for you Joanna.
I keep losing my comments! This is my third try and I will keep it short and sweet so I don't lose it again!!!
These look great. You are a kitchen goddess/trooper for even trying to make them!
Good job and chocolate dipping is always messy!
They look marvellous…first time I have had a "dedication" so thank you so much.
Sounds as if they were a trial to make, but they look super.
I do not think there is a way to dip choc without making a mess…I never have found it and even when you leave them to dry, they mess up the baking tray.
Mine looked considerably less fine, I made in a small silicone tray that has "square cups", called a min brownie tray. They were not deep enought to cut in half, so I popped a tsp of marmalade on top and froze it and then dipped….they looked a bit messy but they did taste very good…I ended up freezing the filled sponges and then coating them from frozen…just because I ran out of time but maybe it made it easier to dip as they stuck together.
I have to ask whether Brian liked them ?
You, others (and I) may well have some sympathy with The Great Recipe Swindle: "The idea that you can follow a recipe to the letter and produce impeccable results is a recent one; the problem is, it's nonsense".
Chefs are encouraging us to try out quite complex and involved techniques – by the nature of the thing, we end up trying several novel things at once and the whole process zooms from 'easy' to wretchedly complex. But we flagellate ourselves with that 'easy' as if doing penance to the kitchen gods.
Just to add to Jaffa Cake/biscuit VAT wrinkle, Pringles tried the same thing in a way. Pringles tried to argue that their product is a cake/biscuit because it's made from dough and therefore should be VAT'd as potato crisps are. They initially won their case for exemption and then lost it.
Weird and wonderful world of tax exemption.
You know this already but your Best Beloved is a true gem.
There was a suggestion that I should use a 'shaped mitre block' when I realised I couldn't cut the tops off straight. Thanks for the nice comment, I'm off to visit family tomorrow, long train journey and busy when I get there.
Well I would say your dipping looks pretty darn good, especially as it was the last stage of an exhausting process, well done.
They look really good and I love your account, great fun to read.
I was too exhausted to eat them, ;) I am glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Your jaffa cakes may have been trouble to make but I'm sure they taste good, they must do with your home-made marmalade to sandwich them together. However, I think you should get full marks for writing so honestly about the making of them, and for being so entertaining in doing so.
Joanna, I am with you all the way… let's bake a sourdough, maybe two. Or three. But there's no chance I could face a challenge like this one, and I am amazed at your performance!
(I had a great laugh with peasepudding, the Jaffa Cakes Cousins – too good!
My neighbour came in last night to get me to unravel the mystery of why her iPhone had suddenly gone silent. (We discovered the mute button together hidden under the cover – that sort of thing I can do :) ) She pronounced it a very superior sort of jaffa cake….
They do look great but I'm sure the one cut in half is laughing at us, in fact the half on the left has laughed so hard it has fallen on it's back and is unable to get up again!
This looks like the kind of project I'm happy to read about and applaud but have no intention of trying, it sounds way too frustrating.
That is so true, Cas, that little cake does look like it's laughing so hard it can't get up! I was already giggling from the post but that remark sent me over the top! Joanna, you are a hero and a pretty funny writer too… Have a relaxing weekend, you surely deserve it!
My trials are great indeed ;) And you are right I did have to make them after all that. thanks c !
I do admire you for doing all that and loved the story – the end result looks yummy. Jaffa cakes are one of my favourite things but I think I will stick to buying them!
Hello Joanna, another baking treat for me to try! Your rye grain bread and peanut butter cookies are staples now.
I would add the hot butter to the beaten egg ……….. very carefully pouring down the side of the bowl at low speed (as if you are making an Italian meringue).
What an impressive effort! The end result looks lovely – I'm really impressed as I can appreciate how hard jaffa cakes would be to re-create!
Don't you think, Joanna, that the little jaffa centre-front of the plate, on the marimekko serviette, looks as though it's grinning and sticking its tongue out!
Oh, well done! I'd have given up much sooner. Far too fiddly for me.
The ones in the photograph look very professional.
You always say such sweet things! And I must admit when I peeked in the tin before I headed off to Dad's again that they looked quite chic.
Very funny and they look tasty too. Well done for persevering!
Hello ! I was just peeking at your blog earlier, I have walked up that beach at Blue Anchor with dogs and someone who is a bit partial to steam trains. We took the dogs in that cafe too when it was raining, if it is the one I am thinking of, up some steep steps. They were very friendly.
That's the one. Delicious food too. Just what we wanted on rather a drizzly day!
Oh My. What an ordeal. I was amazed to see such beautiful morsels in the photos at the end. But I get what you mean by it all. Simple – HA! I'm going to guess that it is one of the boxes you check off that says "been there, done that" and are truly done.
Oof! Well, they are beautiful… I notice it's one of those Great British Chefs recipes. I wanted to make their pumpkin ravioli and got so confused reading the ten oversimplified steps that I sent some comments to that effect. They didn't change the recipe, though, as the comments option was offered for "tweaks", and really, it would've had to be rewritten.
I am so underimpressed by 'chef' recipes for the most part that appear on the internet on sites like these. I think they are just part of their PR machine, branding whatever you call it. I don't think there is any real desire on their part to educate or inform through this mechanism. These are 'hooks' to get you to buy whatever it is they are selling. However, this just puts me off them rather than entices me to embrace their brand. I suspect that people just look at it rather than make it.
They really do look great, and I love the honesty of your blog – I always try to point out the pitfalls in the recipes I've done too. I'm very impressed at you tackling them – I rarely take on anything that is a multistage process, I've usually lost interest by the time the first stage is complete. I did once attempt my version of jaffa cakes, and very nice they were too, but I just topped mine with chocolate rather than dipping them.
Well, they look delicious. Using melted chocolate is always horrendous – have given up on it…!
Really glad you enjoyed the recipe! Would love to get in touch – could you drop me an email?
Hello Rory – will do.

Aliayah Lunsford Foundation continuing to impact children one year later
By MetroNews Staff in News | July 10, 2019 at 10:43AM
AUGUSTA, W.Va. — A year has passed since Craig Cole began a foundation to help preserve the memory of his adoptive children's sister, Aliayah Lunsford.
It's a year that Cole said has been full of ups and downs.
"I know for me personally it's been probably more of a struggle this year, a year later just really coming to the grips of what we went through as a family," he said. "It's definitely a daily process of healing and continuing to move forward and push forward."
His oldest daughters, Kiara and Destiny, have been heavily involved with the Aliayah Lunsford Foundation, which Cole feels has helped with their grieving.
"It's definitely been helpful, I think. It keeps you busy," he said. "It's a very traumatic situation, and I think as a whole our family is probably experiencing more of that this year than last year because I think last year there was a lot of adrenaline, and we were just able to move forward with it."
The Foundation started just months after the April trial of Lena Lunsford Conaway, Aliayah's mother, who was sentenced to life sentence for murder of a child by failure to provide necessities.
"We really wanted to just make sure that Aliayah was never forgotten and that people just continued to honor her and just kind of keep her name out their in the public's eye so that she's not forgotten," Cole said.
Over the past year, the foundation organized two Walks for Hope, one in their home of Hampshire County and one in Weston.
However, turnout was smaller than Cole had anticipated.
"That's one of the things that we've kind of pulled back on," he said. "We did two events last year, and it's just so hard to get the public involved. The turnout was very small, so we just kind of pulled back on that this year because it's a lot of work to get that organized."
While Cole said the impact the Aliayah Lunsford Foundation has had thus far is small, it's incredibly rewarding.
"We're just kind of reevaluating what we want to do as a foundation and how can we maximize our effectiveness," he said.
One area of success has been with starting "Aliayah's Farm."
The family currently owns two horses on 2.5 acres of land, with the hope of offering free equine therapy to assist children to cope with the stress of being in foster care or adoption systems.
"We're in the process of getting them broke in," Cole said. "That's a lot of work, and we're just trying to get to the point where we can move forward with that aspect of the foundation of being able to offer free trail rides, get exposure for kids around horses and things like that."
Cole said he's also writing a book to tell Aliayah's story.
"There's a lot to the story that never came out in the trial, and there's just a lot to it so we feel like a book would really be able to present that information out there so that people get a true understanding of why did the girls wait five years and why did they finally come forward and all of that," he said.

Calling All GM's

Share All sharing options for: Calling All GM's
Not gonna lie - it's a pretty slow day in the world of Penguins hockey.
Rather than force an issue or just post up links to other articles (I'll do that tomorrow - maybe), I figured it'd be interesting to see what people say about the remainder of the season. Basically, I'm asking you to act as the GM.
So here's the dilemma. And this isn't a hypothetical scenario, this is in fact where the Penguins stand right now.
We all know where Ty Conklin stands this season with his two-way contract in WBS. He's with the Pens and he's going to stay with the Pens. As far as salary and extensions go, that's all up in the air.
So let's take a look at the goaltenders first.
Marc-Andre Fleury, 23-years-old, is locked up till the end of this season. Last season he recorded 40 wins in 67 appearances with 5 shutouts. So far this season he has missed 17 games with a high-ankle sprain and posted a record of 9-8-1 in 21 appearances. Things were just warming up for him with four straight wins when he took the slip in Calgary back on December 6. He's up for a contract at the end of this season: do you keep him and at what cost?
Keep in mind: Dany Sabourin is still signed for next season and Ty Conklin will be a UFA.
Gary Roberts, Ryan Malone, Georges Laraque, Adam Hall and fan favorite Jarkko Ruutu are ALL unrestricted free agents at the end of this season. Given Roberts' age and injuries and Adam Hall's ability to almost seem invisible on the ice, who do you re-sign and who do you drop?
Mark Eaton has certainly done a formidable job throughout the years for the Pens' D, but he's also spent plenty of time on the injured reserve. This year is no exception as he once again is out for the remainder of the season with an ACL tear. He is an UFA next season, and if I had to make the decision I'd say he's wearing different threads next year. Of course, that's my opinion and mine only. I'd love to hear what you have to say about that.
Brooks Orpik is the other defensive listed as an unrestricted free agent. He's had his share of scratches this year, in addition to rumors of him asking to be traded in the aftermath of the Recchi to Atlanta debacle. Where does Brooks go?
That about does it for the roster. Keep in mind this is simply hypothetical, and I also don't expect you to keep it within the salary cap. Heck, I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. I was just curious to see who would stay, who would go and who you may even consider as far as other free agents around the league go.


A couple of weekends ago R and I went to a very dear friends wedding in New York. It was lovely to spend the weekend in the city but the most amazing thing was the view we had from our hotel. We stumbled into our hotel room late and tired from the journey to be greeted with this panorama.
In the morning the view didn't disappoint I opened the curtains and there it was again, in all its glory.
I am a sucker for the 1920s and the Chrysler building remains my favourite building of all time, it is so beautiful in the skyline.
Our trip only really consisted of going to the wedding and a nice 8 mile trot around New York, trying to see as much as we could in as little time as possible.

Abstract : The 1992 AIAA/FAA Joint Symposium on General Aviation Systems was the result of the combined efforts of the AIAA General Aviation Systems Technical Committee and the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center. This symposium offered the opportunity to present and review the current state of the art in research that is being conducted in support of general aviation. All told, the papers presented covered the entire spectrum of research, and the participants had the opportunity to hear presentations on everything from alternate fuels to developments in air traffic control.


All the accepted rules about climbing equipment were upset during the 2004-2005 season by Monster. Lots of Grivel competitors tried to stop this stampede even using underhand methods. But the concept was right and today the less extreme X Monster has arrived. The shaft is slightly straighter and the grip is better for vertical walls – the Monster on the other hand was perfect for overhangs – its multi-grip design lets the climber's imagination run wild. A thinner pick for fragile ice. A shorter pick as the continuity between pick and shaft can anchor in deep as there's nothing to stop the blade fitting in between two columns or in narrow cracks. The flexible shaft that so many climbers have recently discovered makes anchoring into cracks, including non vertical ones, easier and safer. Just remember the progress made on changing from rigid to flexible vaulting poles! The rear is almost a hammer shaped like "nuts", ideal for anchoring and torqueing in larger cracks on mixed terrain, or with the a more classic shovel. A hole in the shaft can be used to attach a leash. Tiny anti slip claw at the end of the shaft. Modern graphics and accessible prices for those with limited funds typical of today's younger generation. CE certification as a category 2 PPE.


SONOSIM SUMMARY: This retrospective study from the American Journal of Emergency Medicine aimed to identify an optimal ultrasound probe location for diagnosing traumatic pneumothoraces. When scanning regions between the fifth and eighth intercostal spaces, ultrasonography was 80 to 84% sensitive for detecting pneumothoraces. Current e-FAST protocol typically involves scanning only the region between the second to fourth anterior intercostal spaces. The authors conclude that modifying standard protocols for pneumothorax screenings to include these regions would be beneficial for making the diagnosis.
We sought to assess the anatomical distribution of traumatic pneumothoraces (PTXs) on chest computed tomography (CT) to develop an optimized protocol for PTX screening with ultrasound in the emergency department (ED).
We performed a retrospective review of all chest CTs performed in one ED between January 2005 and December 2008 according to presence, location, and size of PTX. Pneumothoraces were then measured and categorized into 14 anatomical regions for each hemithorax.
A total of 277 (3.8%) PTXs were identified, with 26 bilateral PTX, on 3636 chest CTs performed during the study period. Etiology was blunt (85%) or penetrating trauma (15%). Eighty-three (45%) PTXs were radiographically occult on initial chest x-ray. One hundred eighty-three (66%) PTX had no chest tube at the time of CT. For both hemithoraces, the distribution demonstrated increasing PTX frequency and size from lateral to medial and from superior to inferior. Region 12 (parasternal, intercostal spaces [ICS] 7-8) was involved in 68% of PTX on either side; region 9 (parasternal, ICS 5-6), in 67% on the left and in 52% on the right; and region 11 (lateral to midclavicular line, ICS 7-8), in 46% on the left and in 53% on the right. The largest anterior-to-posterior PTX dimension was seen in region 12.
Our results indicate that 80.4% of right- and 83.7% of left-sided traumatic PTXs would be identified by scanning regions 9, 11, and 12. These findings suggest that a standardized protocol for PTX screening with ultrasound should include these regions.

FIFA President expresses a longing to promptly return FIFA to RUSSIA
Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor City
FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, has expressed great nostalgia for Russia as a nation and for its football administration saying that FIFA cannot wait to return to Russia immediately after the war of invasion of Ukraine ends.
Gianni Infantino made the pronouncement at the world governing body's- FIFA- congress in Qatar, ahead of this year's World Cup tournament in the host country in November/December 2022.
Infantino said that any time the war ends, "FIFA would be there (Russia) the first day to play football again"
He said it was right to sustain contact with Russian Football Federation and expressed satisfaction that there was Russian representation at the FIFA congress held in Qatar
Infantino expressed delight that Russia's national federation had not been suspended by FIFA although the country's national and club teams have been blocked from playing in FIFA and UEFA competitions, including the World Cup.
Gianni Infantino, FIFA President
But Infantino said it was important to maintain dialogue with federation officials.
He said further, "We had to suspend Russia and Russian teams. It's not an easy decision of course, because it's about people who love football.
Gianni Infantino, a former Secretary of the Union of European Football Association, UEFA, said of Russia's suspension, "we had to make the decisions, and now we have to look forward and hope the hostilities can stop, and we can bring a little bit of peace", he said.
He enthused, "the decision on Russia has been taken. The Russian Football Union has appealed the decision to CAS (the Court of Arbitration for Sport) so we are waiting for the result of the CAS deliberations".
Infantino further said of Russia's appeal, "we will see what comes next. I sincerely hope the conflict can end, and we would be there the first day to play football again, because that's what I think is needed in this country".
Asked of the mindless killings and other human right abuses ongoing in Uraine by Russia, Infantino for once sounded remorseful saying, "I'm very sad of course for what is happening, and I'm as devastated as everyone."
Recalled that in 2019, Gianni Infantino was a guest of President Vladimir Putin in Kremlin, Moscow, where he was awarded an Order of Friendship medal.
