Eric Trump has been heavily involved in his father's presidential campaign, frequently appearing at campaign events and speaking on behalf of Donald on television. The 32-year-old New Yorker is the presidential candidate's youngest son from his first marriage, and he serves as executive vice president of development and acquisition for the Trump Organization.
According to ABC News, those close to Eric say that he has been providing his father with advice throughout the campaign, though Eric himself admits he's new to the world of politics.
Eric Trump's mother is Czech socialite and former fashion model Ivana Trump, Donald's first wife, whom he married in 1977. Eric was Donald's and Ivana's third child after Donald Trump Jr., born in 1977, and Ivanka Trump, born in 1981. Donald also has two other children, Tiffany and Baron, from his second and third marriages respectively.
Eric was six years old when his parents divorced, and Ivana gained full custody. She said in an interview that she raised the kids herself until they went off to college, after which Ivana says she "gave them" to Donald, who then provided all three with positions within the Trump organization.
During their childhoods, all three of Donald Trump's kids were constantly surrounded by media coverage of their parents' messy divorce, which was difficult for them to take. Eric told New York Magazine that although he didn't fully realize what was going on due to his age, he still remembers friends bringing him newspaper articles about his own parents' separation. When they got older, then, the kids were all sent to boarding schools as a way of sheltering them from the constant media attention. In Eric's case, he attended the extremely strict Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
After graduation, Eric continued to serve on the Hill School's board of trustees until 2013. Although his older brother went to Wharton, Eric chose to attend Georgetown University, where he graduated in 2006 with a degree in finance and management.
Eric, Donald Jr. and Ivanka Trump are all executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, but each child has his or her own specialty. One of Eric's focuses is the company's golf assets. He joined the organization in 2013, and since then, he has expanded Trump's golf courses from three to 17 located all over the world, from New York to Ireland and Scotland.
Evidently, though, his father is still rather hands-on when it comes to the golf business. Recently, the Trump Organization spent over $50 million redesigning one of their courses in Doonbeg, and Eric said that Donald was often on the phone with him to ask questions.
Eric also oversees the Trump Winery, which Donald has said is the largest winery on the East Coast. That's true in terms of acres, although according to the Virginia Wine Board, it's not actually the largest in terms of sales. Still, due to his work in this field, Eric Trump received the Rising Star of the Year award from Wine Enthusiast Magazine in 2013.
Celebritynetworth.com estimates Trump's net worth to be about $150 million.
Eric Trump's wife is Lara Trump, formerly Lara Yunaska, the associate producer of CBS' Inside Edition. She and Eric dated for six years before he proposed at the Trump Seven Springs estate in Bedford, New York. The two were married in 2014 at the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. More than 400 friends and family members attended the ceremony; Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner, officiated.
Though the couple does not have children, they do have a dog named Charlie, who is often popping up on Lara's and Eric's social media pages.
In 2015, Eric's foundation financed a $20 million project to build The Eric Trump Foundation Surgical and ICU Center at St. Jude's.
Donald Trump's son Eric has been a major player in Trump's campaign, often appearing as a surrogate on TV.


It is general question asked in my seminars, is muscle hypertrophy possible with Kettlebell? First let's understand what is Hypertrophy? There are 3 factors responsible for muscle hypertrophy?
1- Progressive Overload – which is intense weight training.
It doesn't matter if it's a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells as long as there is a progression of lifting heavy weights often; your body will adapt by getting stronger. Beyond heavier weights, time under tension becomes a critical factor, which is responsible for marked hypertrophy, which causes micro-trauma and body super compensates to become bigger.
It is the rest when your body grows, not when you train, your body goes hard to work at repairing and adapting to everything you did during your session to make sure you come back stronger tomorrow to handle whatever life throws at you.
Every exercise practised should be measured on the basis of its risks and benefits. If a particular exercise proves to be more risky than beneficial, then it should be avoided. Training is meant to strengthen your joints and muscles, not injure them. Below are four popular exercises, which may also prove to be risky if not practised the right way.
The rectus abdominis muscle, also known as 'abdominals', or 'abs', is a muscle running vertically from the pubic symphysis (hip bone), ending at the 5th or 7th costal cartilage (anterior part of the ribs). The muscle can show between four to eight packs, depending on the genetics of an individual. Here a myth worth busting is that abdominal exercises cannot change the genetic make-up of a muscle.

Space station trio returns to Earth: NASA's Peggy Whitson racks up 665-day record
by Alan Boyle on September 2, 2017 at 11:00 pm September 2, 2017 at 11:01 pm

NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and two other spacefliers capped off a record-setting orbital mission today with their return from the International Space Station.
The trio, also including NASA's Jack Fischer and Russia's Fyodor Yurchikhin, landed in the steppes of Kazakhstan aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule, about four and a half hours after their undocking.
Fischer and Yurchikhin had been on the station since April, but Whitson was in space much longer – since last November, 288 days ago. That brought her cumulative time in space to 665 days, setting the record for NASA astronauts.
This mission also made Whitson the oldest woman to fly in space (age 57) and the most experienced woman spacewalker (with 10 orbital outings).

Although Whitson holds the U.S. record for total time in space, seven Russians have put in more time – including Yurchikhin, who is now No. 7 on the list with 673 days under his belt.
In a pre-landing interview, Whitson said that she's "not overly comfortable" with all the praise she's been getting about breaking space records – but was glad to play her part in the space effort.
"I honestly do think that it is critical that we are continuously breaking records, because that represents us moving forward in exploration," she said.
When she was lifted out of the Soyuz spaceship, she was greeted with a bouquet of flowers. "Welcome back, Peggy," a member of the recovery team told her. After a round of medical tests and a stopover in Germany, Whitson will head back to her home in hurricane-hit Houston.

Whitson was originally scheduled to return from the space station in June, but extended her stay to take advantage of a later opening in Russia's space schedule.
Among the earthly amenities she's looking forward to are flush toilets. "Trust me, you don't want to know the details," she joked.
Three crew members remain on the space station: NASA's Randy Bresnik, who is now the station's commander, plus Italy's Paolo Nespoli and Russia's Sergey Ryazanskiy.
The next three spacefliers – NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba, and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin – are due for launch to the space station from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Sept. 12.

Auction House lot entries hit all-time high
The UK's largest property auctioneer, Auction House, says the number of lot entries received in the first half of 2015 was a record high.
Between January and June the auctioneer sold 1,415 lots through its national network – some 14 per cent up on the same period last year.
It recorded a sales success rate of 76 per cent, raising £179m in the process. Meanwhile, it says a record 726 auction lots are catalogued to be offered during July, marking a 10 per cent increase on the group's previous highest monthly total.
"This double-whammy of successes have taken place during a period of weakened supply and the market disruption that surrounded the General Election." says Auction House founding director Roger Lake.
"More and more local sellers are choosing the speed and certainty that auction provides, rather than the very protracted private treaty process with its associated high cancellation rate. The prices achieved through our regional auction rooms regularly equal or exceed the levels obtained by estate agents for suitable properties, and in a fraction of the time" he claims.
Auction House operates on a regional basis with 40 sale rooms across the UK.

Jason already blogged about the sound from the big rig in the Cary Audio room, which was being run by Florida retailer Let There Be Sound. I had enjoyed the sound of Ry Cooder's classic Jazz from LP in that room Saturday night after the Show closed, as well as a CD-R of songs from the Who's Tommy, burned from an acetate of the master by Mikey Fremer using his awesome Continuum record player. But Sunday morning, LTBS's Oswaldo Martinez was playing Rebecca Pidgeon's classic "Spanish Harlem" from CD on a system featuring the 5Wpc Cary Exciter integrated amplifier driving these beautifully finished single-driver bookshelf speakers, the Sur. Pidgeon's voice sounded smooth and natural, the double-bass accompaniment evenly balanced and more extended in the lows than I was anticipating, though when a Showgoer asked for The Doors' "Waiting for the Sun" to be played, the electric guitar sounded a little peaky in the mid-treble. To be priced at $2000/pair, the Sur features a port-loaded, full-range Fostex drive-unit and will only be available from LTBS.
These single-Fostex-driver speakers were a surprise. One of those experiences where you need to walk over looking for a subwoofer because your brain says there's no way that bass is coming form those babies...Very interesting stuff.

1557 Fake Geek.
In the fairly limited time we've recorded history humans have not changed by orders of magnitude. We are, essentially, still the primates that had little tribes here and there. We just have better tools now. On average we still treat what we perceive as other with the same sort of brutality and tribalism we always have. It's coded in us in a way even we don't fully understand. We still lob spears at one another for not believing in the same magical sky people, scuffle over resources, and generally behave like the ridiculous apes we still are deep down. Even if you get a group of people who are on the same page we keep cutting the group into smaller and smaller bits. At our very core we are at war with ourselves. We want to be part of a tribe, but apart from that tribe, & other tribes. The modern joke, of course, is the goth kids who reject conformity, while clearly adorning themselves in a uniform that identifies them as part of a group. Which leads me to my point, more or less.
Mike wants to infiltrate a group that he's already a part of, but doesn't know for sure what the current uniform is. He expects there to be a gatekeeper. He's right, of course. Even if it isn't as blatant as someone quizzing him about green lantern he will be judged and whoever is part of the other group will decide if he can be part of it. They all might love the green lantern, but he may not love it in the right way. We've all been on both sides. Trying to get in, trying to keep others out.
When I was in high school I wore a button up shirt, unbuttoned, over a t shirt. Then the grunge look became a thing, and everyone thought I was trying to get in on that look. It was like before that time, having dressed that way for ages, I had been invisible until a larger group randomly chose my manner of dress as a uniform. People who never spoke to me would ask if I was trying to be "grunge", when, in fact, I've always been a fat slob who can't dress himself properly. The upside to this was that for a while it was much easier to get the kinds of shirts I liked because they were "in". Over time the fad passed and I kept dressing as I always had and went back to being invisible.
We've all liked a thing that no one else liked only to have it become popular. Then we find ourselves saying "I liked it before it was cool." We wear it like a badge and try to separate ourselves from the Johnny come lately mob. Everybody knows that one person who just has to let you know about all the bands they love that "you've probably never heard of".
I know I've been a dick about my hobbies before. I'm sure I still am, reflexively, all the time. I try to be aware of it, but sometimes it just slips through. I used to quiz the Teen about Superman, because she likes the idea of Superman, but not really the piles of nonsense that go along with Superman. She likes hiom because her dad liked him, and that's an easy visual reminder of him. The fact that the Superman in Man Of Steel isn't really the way the character has traditionally been portrayed doesn't matter to her. She likes him for reasons that are not the same as mine, but they aren't any less valid than mine. That said, I feel like the stories, or at least some of the stories, are important. They could show her a richer version of the concepts he represents. Ultimately the choice to seek them out will be hers. If she chooses not to it's not my place to try and shut her out of the fandom. Still, when she says "I like Superman." there's a part of me that says "You don't know what Superman is." Except now I try not to vocalize it. She knows what Superman is to her. Anything outside of that is none of my concern.

We're playing in the Animated Series universe with 'Beneath the Blade of Sword Mountain' , the unproduced prequel to 'The Dragon's Graveyard' (the ep that deals with the kids saying 'F it-let's just murder Venger').
I'm playing Presto.

Fifteen years for me, away from the dice. An old friend of mine got me back onto it last year, though. But it has taken me up until recently (about 3 months ago, after one dead character), to really get my dude up to scratch.

The first rule of nerd club you do not talk about nerd club
My geekiness covers a variety of fields, but in no way would I assume I know more than someone else about a thing.
I like fantasy books, particularly Discworld (RIP Sir Terry Pratchett). I love the worlds they encompass, I occasionally even like the people they contain (Tolkien's work is a bit "high and mighty", while in the Discworld, people are still flawed, but they get their shit done). That being said, I don't know all the names of the named mountains in the Ramtops. Does that make me less of a fan?
I'm an anime fan, too. But my paltry collection would pale in the face of some who call themselves "true" fans, I have fewer obscure titles (I guess "Boogiepop Phantom" might still count as obscure, or old, or whatever), I don't get all the memes, and I don't cosplay. Does that make me less of a fan?
I'm interested in things because I like them. My games collection is small, but it appeals to me. My anime collection is small, but it appeals to me. My books, my music, is stuff I found, liked it and kept it. But then, I can't always afford to get something (home commitments), or even if I can afford it, I have to pass on something to get something else. It does not mean I appreciate these things any less, it's just I can't always show my appreciation.
Does that make me less of a fan?

I think folks forget that "fan" is rooted in "fanatic." Involved to the degree of obsession. Enjoy what you want, how you want. I've never viewed losing your mind over something as a desirable behavior, engendering admiration or envy.
You make a good argument. There is a difference between enjoying something and obsessing over it. Most geeks (even back then) are just normal people, but the ones people remember are the ones who obsess over minutiae like mapping the complete genealogy of Chewbacca for 20 generations (for the sake of example).

To be fair, in this age of geek "popularity", you ARE gonna run into more posers than you did, say, 20 years ago. The problem is, what are YOU gonna do about it.
The sensible part of me would ignore them. I know what I want.
The jerkface part of me would give them a contemptuous sneer. Fuck that guy.

Am I geek or Nerd or something all together different? Hmm, I am a tribe of one.
Comics? Stopped collecting during the cover variant explosion but still occasionally pick up something I like. Few and far between and always alternative.
Anime? Binge watch but don't buy as much if any, yet I have the complete Votoms on VHS as well as the complete Fushigi Yuugi on disk – what the hell was I thinking spending so much on those? The dub makes my ears bleed.
Cosplay/LARP? Yes those overlap by quite a bit. Do it for fun. Did masquerade once and nearly died from stage terror. Don't make full costumes from scratch anymore after being the first Xigbar out there. Seams, so very very long.
Console? I did QA/QC at a distributor for SEGA and am still looking for a working vectrex at an affordable cost. Don't have anything newer than a PS2 >_>
Computer? Ultima when it was still a PC game onwards. I used to code in assembler. Now I barely do spreadsheets.
Tabletop? Role Play, card, board, tactical, strategic – you name it and I either already have it or played it at least once.
Licensed Amateur Radio operator and certified Jedi Master, I have a certificate and everything =)
Is there any geek realm I missed?
Tons. Technogeeks, furry geeks, art geeks, car geeks — the list goes on forever. Rule 71: If it exists, someone is out there geeking about it.

I could quibble on a number of those realms since they had labels long before pop culture geekdom emerged.
Example: Fury geek? Nah, just furies [people who like to dress up as non-homonids] that overlap various geekdoms such as cosplay or specific media character types, though being an over-informed master of trivia regarding bandicoots shuffles you off into the age old corner of the fanatic. There is also the rule 34 crowd …. *nope nope nope* [steps away from the keyboard]

I have issues with anyone under the age of forty that "likes" Superman. I can't help it. I'm a cinephile and comic nerd both. For those of us who remember the late seventies and the movie revolution that began therein (Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, Alien, So so many great movies) Superman sums up to me with the phrase that taglined the movie. You Will Believe a Man can Fly.
God, I tear up just writing that phrase. And yet explaining this to anyone who doesn't even remember the nineteen eighties is all but impossible.These days everyone and their brother can fly in movies, and generally without uncomfortable harnesses, massive post production edits, and the time/effort required of yesteryear. Thinking back on it all, I remember Interview With the Vampire. What movie do they use to show the change in society from black and white dullness to a color filled world of vibrancy and blues? Superman.
I suppose the real irony in all of this, is that I don't even particularly like Superman as a character. He's too powerful to be interesting. Sure, he's got weaknesses, but they tend to be all or nothing weaknesses. Helpless against Kryptonite. Normal human versus Magic. The most interesting thing about him is when he is stripped to normal (or equal in the case of Doomsday) to see what he sacrifices as a normal man. Sure, the movie ruined part of this. How much drama is there if he can just fly real fast around the world and go back in time to fix whatever he did wrong? For me, the greatest was always (pre-brand new day) Spiderman. He jokes to cover his fear, has to pay rent, and has to choose every time between his conscience (and whatever mugger/thief/villain/whatever) and his personal life (Aunt May's surgery/date with Mary Jane/class/sometimes even work) so no matter what he chooses, there are consequences…
And really, I suppose it is that consequences have changed that bothers me. What I've started calling the Wizard of Oz effect because I hate that movie. Always have. But it occupies a place of nostalgia that the people I work with (all younger than me) just don't get. But back then there wasn't even a VCR, let alone DVD or streaming services…. But that's getting a little ahead of myself. See, back in the day every year there were four peanuts movies (Great Pumpkin, Thanksgiving, Christmas special, and the movie. Eventually Great Race, too…) and the Wizard of Oz. There was also that stop motion Rudolph movie and It's a Wonderful Life. This was how I told seasons as a kid, more so than actual changes of nature. Once per year the family would gather about the cathode ray tube glow of the television and watch all together. The one I always hated was Wizard, but more people my age would say something similar about Wonderful Life, so maybe I name it wrong, but I always liked Jimmie Stewart, and ego prevents me from using a movie I liked as an example of fondness for something I didn't.
Of course, later came cable television and subscription services (Star Wars on HBO prevented me from sleeping for about a week. Excepting I had to go to school at the same time, which was a great place for naps but a poor one for escaping the consequences of my actions… Eventually the television was unplugged, uncabled, de-antennaed, and moved to the garage for a month). The cost of VCRs dropped and rental places sprang up. Of course, at this point in time roughly half the family young'ns remember video rental places (hell, we still have the option in a couple grocery stores nearby, though I hesitate to include Redbox type services), but soon even that will be but a memory.
Fuck, but I hate nostalgia and it seems to have wormed its way into my mood, so I leave now.

Q: Can I install GNU Hurd in Ubuntu? Is it possible to use HURD Kernel on ubuntu(any version)? It would be good to see other kernels running with ubuntu. But I really wonder is it even possible?

A: No. According to the Hurd project, there is only one working distribution with Hurd, and that is Debian GNU/Hurd, which is in development.
However, you can run the available image in Qemu.

The Michael House community fridge. The air conditioning in the '02 van. The chair out front (Melissa now has a bruise down her arm). Oh wait, I meant to tell you breaking news. Right. Well, all of the above are true, unfortunately, but they're all going to be fixed too, praise God, except for the old lawn chair which is waiting for bulk trash pickup. Otherwise, here's what's going on at The Michael House these days. Our summer Corps Ellyn arrived last week from Michigan via Notre Dame/St. Mary's and Australia where she was touring for three weeks with her choir! So cool, but I'm not jealous of her jetlag. It's great to have another Corps member and we're enjoying getting to know her. We have six moms, two baby boys out and four babies still in. One is just over six months and is army crawling all over the place. The other is almost four months and loves to talk. They are both spitting up a lot at the moment; we go through stain remover like nobody's business.
The next baby due is my contact baby and I can't wait to meet him! We had a game night this Sunday as a house inning (we have a house outing or inning once a month) which was a blast. We played reverse charades, where one person guesses and the rest of the team acts. You can see a few of them doing "football" in the picture!
The past two Community Nights have been special because we've had a lot of guests. Last Monday night, two volunteers Amy and Ashlee made dinner before they presented on resumés and interviewing, and we were joined by Laura Magruder, Maggie's Place's executive director. This week, Laura was back, as well as Laurel who also works at the Fiat House. It's been great to hang out with the two of them and share our community. Dinner was followed up with cake to celebrate a mom's birthday, and then a presentation on prenatal exercise by volunteer and retired physical therapist David. His wife Karen, who is at the house volunteering so much we feel bad for David, came too and babysat while we all learned how to stretch, stand up straight, and do pregnancy friendly exercises. Pretty soon we were laying all over the floor in funny positions having a grand ole time.
Later that night we realized something was definitely wrong with the fridge, and the following morning we transferred everything into the other fridge and freezer as well as coolers. The many desserts we had received from Waste Not and St. Helen's did not make the refrigeration cut unfortunately and had to stay out on the counter (it looked like we were running a bakery). The repairman came to look at the fridge that morning, and about half way through his work, he turned to Melissa and said, "What is this place?" We all laughed at that. It's Maggie's Place, and this is just another normal Maggie's Place day!

Тит А́нний Цимбр (; умер после 43 года до н. э.) — римский политический деятель, приверженец Марка Антония. Претор предположительно в 43 году до н. э.

Биография
Один из источников называет Тита Анния «сыном Лисидика»; это означает, что его отец был вольноотпущенником. Упоминания о Тите Аннии относятся к 43 году до н. э., когда он как преторий (то есть бывший претор) находился в лагере Марка Антония под Мутиной. Цимбра обвиняли в отравлении брата. В связи с этим Марк Туллий Цицерон насмешливо называет его «Филадельфом».

New "Conan" Film Fast-Tracked By Lionsgate
by Rick Marshall · August 14, 2008
The Hollywood Reporter notes that Lionsgate is so keen on pushing a new Conan film into production that they've hired two sets of writers to draft parallel scripts for the film. No director has been attached to the film at this point, but sources close to the project have said that the intent is to reinvent the franchise based on Robert E. Howard's stories of the famed barbarian.
Currently, Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain are writing one script for the project, while Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Sahara) have been writing another script.
THR reports that Paradox Entertainment president and CEO Fredrik Malmberg, who is producing the Conan film along with Boaz Davidson, Joe Gatta and Avi Lerner of Millennium FilmsMalmberg, recently explained that the project is a "fast-tracked movie" and that "Lionsgate felt the process was enhanced by having a second team come in and do a script."
As for the decision to return to the film franchise that began with 1982's Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayal of the character:
"Fans expect (these types of movies) to be more true to the source material," Malmberg said. "There's no reason there couldn't be a Conan movie every two years. He's almost like Batman: He's a dark hero. He's a hard hero. He has to be badass, but we also have to like him."

JOE LANSDALE GETS PULPED!
"There's no reason there couldn't be a Conan movie every two years. He's almost like Batman: He's a dark hero. He's a hard hero. He has to be badass, but we also have to like him."I agree, Conan is a straight forward action character. A regular Conan franchise should be a no-brainer.
I don't think I would ever agree that Conan is "almost like Batman." That's an oddball comparison.
You're right, Conan is not like Batman – but I do agree with the rest of the quote.

With Robert Rodriguez producing a new Red Sonja movie for Dynamite 2009 may be the start of barbarians. I'm so very sick of pirates and actually miss chainmail & loincloths at conventions, so I say bring it on!

Chris Schenk: Is to Fail to Lead?
Is to Fail to Lead?
I heard someone today say that a new type of Leader is needed in the world today, and that is an "Authentic" Leader. Then the next question that was asked how do you become an authentic leader in this day and age?
The answer was a little surprising to me, the person responding said the way you become an authentic leader today is by sharing your "Failures" as well as your "Successes" with people. They also continued to state that people today can see right through you if you aren't being your authentic self.
I know often in today's world we see everyone's success and all of the fun and great things they get to do on Social Media, but I don't often see the real failures of others at least not from them personally.
We tend to hide our failures in life not only from other people but also from ourselves, and we tend to thrust out into the world any and all of our successes.
The statement was also made during the conversation that people have a hard time connecting with "Perfect" people, because they make us feel less than perfect or they appear to be something we don't think we can achieve in life. But if we know that other people are failing and that they too have struggles in life just like we do, then we can appreciate and side with them better as a regular human being.
How would this mindset effect you and the leaders you look up to in your life?
How would it effect how you look at the CEO of your company?
Or the leader of your non-profits or charities?
Or even your own Dad and Mom?
What do you think about this mindset that Failure = Authenticity, and if you are to be your authentic self in this day and age then to what degree can you be a good and effective leader?


Arthroscopy (ahr-THROS-skuh-pee) is a special procedure for diagnosing and treating a wide range of joint problems. This minimally invasive knee surgery is a popular method used to examine and perform surgery using a small fiber-optic video camera, called an arthroscope. This camera, attached to a scope, allows surgeons to see inside the knee without making a large incision. Knee arthroscopy is generally done on an outpatient basis and typically has a short recovery period.
Your knee is the largest and most complex joint in your body. It is responsible for providing movement and stability for your whole body.
The knee joint is formed where the lower end of the femur (thigh bone) connects with the upper end of the tibia (shinbone). On the front of the joint is the patella (kneecap).
Because the structures of the knee are so hardworking, they see a lot of stress. Over time, this stress can cause any of these areas to breakdown, causing knee pain and leaving the knee vulnerable to injury.
If you are experiencing knee pain, and it has not responded to nonsurgical treatment, your orthopedic specialist may recommend that you undergo a knee arthroscopy. Nonsurgical treatment often includes rest, physical therapy, and medication or injections that treat inflammation.
The ultimate goal of the orthopedic surgeon is to fix or improve your problem in the most minimally invasive way possible--and arthroscopy offers the ability to do so. The SROSM orthopedic surgeons are experts in arthroscopy and the latest techniques. They will talk through your treatment options.
To speak with an SROSM knee specialist, make an appointment at the location closest to you in Spring or The Woodlands.


American Idol alum Jessica Sanchez extended her reputation as a budding political activist when she took a knee as she finished singing the national anthem just before the start of Sunday's Chargers/Raiders game at the Oakland Coliseum.
The 22-year-old Chula Vista native, who now lives in Los Angeles, took a knee to protest social injustice after singing the line "and the home of the brave" at the conclusion of her anthem performance.
As Sanchez sang, Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat and Chargers offensive tackle Russell Okung - who on Friday published an eloquent "open letter" to his fellow NFL players - raised his fist.
It was the latest chapter in the ongoing national controversy regarding how players should, or should not, act during the anthem at NFL games.
President Trump recently fueled the controversy further by tweeting that former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick - who began kneeling at NFL games last year and is now unemployed - should have been fired for kneeling in the first place.
On Sunday, Kaepernick filed a grievance against the NFL, alleging he remains unsigned this season because of collusion by NFL owners following his kneeling protests during the national anthem.
Sanchez is not the first NFL anthem performer to take a knee, having been preceded last month by singer Rico Lavelle in Detroit and singer Megan Lindsey and her guitarist in Nashville.
But Sanchez, who came in second on Season 11 of American Idol in 2012, may be the first to invoke the Bible for her decision to kneel.
Video footage of Sanchez singing and kneeling was posted on Facebook Live, but was subsequently deleted. An informal search on the Internet Monday morning failed to turn up a single clip of her performance.
Sanchez performed at last year's Democratic National Convention, where she sang Stronger Together immediately after Bill Clinton's speech. She was just 16 when she performed at the DNC in 2012 for then-President Barack Obama.


CS: What would the strategy entail?
Mark: One of the fundamentals is we want to have a vision of what agriculture should look like in this country going forward, and you need to look out a ways. The U.K is probably the best example. In January they released their document, UK 2030. They've looked 20 years ahead and said, here we are now, here's where we want to go, what do we need for policies and programs to get us there.
In their preamble, they recognize that the UK as a country and a nation is not food self-sufficient. They cannot feed themselves, and historically they've not been able to. They are a trading nation. They require imports. And typically their imports will come from the Third World. One of their policy pillars is they want to see a stable Third World. They don't want to see food riots or shortages of rice in places like Thailand. They want stablity and sustainable Third World farmers so that they will be able to feed themselves and their families and have food to export to the UK.
And that makes everything work. They recognize we're in an era of climate change, global warming is a reality, so they've said, 'What are our policies and programs to recognize that.' Their overarching goal is to produce more, with a lesser footprint.
The UK has long not dealt with the whole issue of genetically-modified food. They've said, 'We must move to the production of GM crops.' And politically they haven't been able to deal with it. But they've said, 'We will deal with it, and we will grow GM crops.' It's a fairly giant leap forward for them.
They've recognized 50% of all food produced is lost and wasted between the field and the fork. So, they said, 'How do we address that?' So it's everything about going right back to the farm level in the developed world and the farm level in the Third World and saying, let's reduce field loss, transportation and storage loss, let's reduce loss in processing and let's educate people in how to store and prepare foods so there is not so much wastage.
They've looked at all the energy consumed in the process, and one of the real targets is to reduce the weight and amount of packaging. That's not a new issue, but if we reduce all packaging by 10 or 20%, that requires less energy to move it, less energy to create it and it's less waste.
They want to work on the education of farmers to get them modernized, help them move forward into the new world and bring up their skill sets. But, it's tying that all together.
Now, we've got some of that. For example, one of the positions I hold is on the National Sector Council for agriculture. So, we work on looking ahead and seeing what are the training needs and training gaps, not only for farmers, but for their employees as well? And then let's push Human Resource and Skills Development Canada to develop the training programs to train the next generation of farmers and farm workers. But we're doing all that without an overall driver to do it.
CS: At what stage are you with the strategy process?
Mark: So, we've been around the (Ontario) federation and back in January we had a series of five regional policy advisory meetings across the province with our members and we said, 'What do you think the national food strategy should look like? What should be the components?
There were lots of key messages. Profitable farmers was a big one. Right now the only policy in Canada is there will be cheap food, which means poor farmers. The U.S. has an overarching policy of being the lowest cost-provider of food to the world, subsidized by the U.S. treasury. It's all about market share.
That's not an option here. We can't eat all we produce. But we have to import as well as export, that's the reality of Canada.
People talk a lot about sustainability, but it means different things to different people. For a conventional farmer, sustainability means they need to be profitable so their children might be interested in farming. There are an amazing amount of opportunities for careers in agriculture. There needs to be a vibrant agricultural economy. We need to produce as much as we can for domestic consumers and there should be a buy Canada first policy. That clearly came out.
Government should buy local whenever possible in all government institutions. It's policy in the U.S. and the U.K. Why is it not policy here? You can get the best quality, and yeah you can't get it 12 months of the year necessarily, but if they had a buy Canada policy it might drive the technological development for people to be willing to grow some of this.
Right now, a lot of the greenhouse industry is moving to Mexico. They're doing it because it's low cost. So they're doing it to survive. We have lots of empty greenhouses in this province, certainly, that could produce food here if there was a demand for it and it has to be at a fair price, or what's the point.
CS: So a national food strategy would focus on all of this?
Mark: We've started it here and the CFA has been working on it for awhile. Up until now, politically and philosophically, the time hasn't been right. I think the realization amongst the farm community now nationally is that we're less than 2% of the population and the governments are only paying lip service to us at best. They take the attitude someone will always farm the land, therefore we need to pay attention to GM and Ford and the auto industry but the farmers will always be there. They know farmers will always struggle through somehow. What they don't realize is, with all the issues we face currently, we will tend to lose specialty agriculture first, so horticulture. It's labour intensive, people will get fed up with those because it's minimum wage and flat prices. The fall back will be they can put the whole farm in corn and soy beans because I don't have to hire anybody, it's relatively stress free and I know I can forward contract my price. It may not be a pretty price, but I know I can do that.
The next thing we'll lose is specialty animal agriculture. In the hog and beef industry, it's a nightmare. We've got supply management in dairy, chicken, eggs, turkey and so on, but they're always under threat. Look at dairy producers, they're having to get bigger. There's not a lot of 50-cow dairy herds anymore, they're tending to be 150-plus.
With the federal government, one of their keystones is get innovative and sell more stuff, but at the end of the day, what's the point of selling it if you're not making anything? You start getting innovative and you get value added on the farm and then MPAC comes along and they assess you into the Stone Age.
We've been trying to get the provincial government to deal with assessing things properly, and that's not just an issue in Ontario.
CS: What specifically is needed within the national strategy?
Mark: So, we tied all these things together and here's what we want. We want vibrant, profitable farmers and we want them farming sustainably. We want to deal with all the environmental issues which we've already been doing, but we'll do more of them. We'll continue to supply clean air and clean water and we'll provide the freshest food we can to as many Canadians as we can and as many international customers who are willing to pay an appropriate price for it.
We want to make sure food coming into this country should meet the same standards as food produced in this county. And that's a long-standing problem for the horticultural industry because there's nothing being inspected that comes in.
So, all of these things came out and we're going through that process this year and we'll try to move this forward. The national food strategy will give government a reason to support agriculture in this country and that's what we really look forward to. Our hope is we'll be able to get the public on board because they trust farmers to produce the right food. And for those of us who sell at farmer's markets and direct, we know that. But they need the opportunity to buy that product from a local farmer. They need to know if they go into a grocery store and it says Ontario, it actually was grown in Ontario, not Mexico or wherever. Many consumers are willing to support that. They need to trust the labelling is right.
CS: Who would oversee such a strategy?
Mark: If we get the strategy and vision accepted by government, which is essentially the public, then out of the strategy is what drives the policies and programs. So it would dictate there needs to be a program to support clean energy production or it needs to support local production or local buying or some of the issues the U.K. has looked at. Typically programs for agriculture, and other sectors of the economy as well, they tend to be a reaction to a crisis rather than forward planning. So we're talking about trying to forward plan for a whole generation here.
CS: Do you run the risk of over regulation?
Mark: We're already over-regulated and if you read the U.K. document, one of the pillars of it is about reducing the regulations. And that's one of the themes, making it simpler to do things.
CS: What has been the progress to date?
Mark:We had our policy meetings in January, which was the first step – get input from our members. It will be coming to our board this month (March) and our next policy session is in April in Toronto. There will be a report to our policy advisory council then. There's an ongoing working group between the Ontario group and the CFA trying to get the other provinces working on it as well. Once you've devised it, it's a template. You don't need to reinvent the wheel, province by province.
Then it's devising a lobby strategy to get the strategy accepted by government and that's where we start to bring in the pubic, the retailers and various environmental groups who support sustainable agriculture. There's lots of groups out there beyond agriculture who should be willing to support lots of this and we need to bring them on board one at a time. This is not going to happen overnight.
CS: What about the U.S. where agri-industry is heavily subsidized?
Mark: Well there is one of life's challenges. It works in the U.K., even though you look 20 miles across the English Channel and they have the rest of the European Union, which has very heavily subsidized farmers in it. The French farmers are the biggest group subsidized, by far.
The U.S. is focused on grabbing market share around the world, and that's a problem. They are our largest trading partner, that's a fact of life. But, we need a level playing field, a fair set of rules and we need to make sure they're not swamping our market with product that doesn't meet our standards. That's regulatory.
And we have to deal with the Canadian dollar. We can't control it, it's a fact of life. It appears to have found it's new, semi-permanent level and we have to work within that. We have to deal with all of these things in the future, but nevertheless, we need to be sustainable here. To have a next generation of farmers, we need a long-term plan that government, and therefore society, buy in to.
CS: How will this impact here in Elgin and surrounding counties?
Mark: Now that the automotive industry is gone, by default, agriculture, agri-food and agri-business is probably the number one job creator. Elgin has always been that way. You pull away that security blanket of automotive, and we're left. Well, help us. We want to be there, we want to create jobs, but there are times we need some policies and programs.
We've got a biodiesel facility going up in Springfield, there's a proposed pelletization plant for purpose-grown crops, probably in the Tillsonburg-Delhi area to feed the Nanticoke plant. There's lots of things going on, but if there are no farmers left with any ability to take on some risk, nobody will do it. The opportunity will go elsewhere. We need a progressive industry here that can survive and deal with the challenges.
CS: What is the time frame for moving forward?
Mark: I would suspect this will probably be the theme of our annual convention in November in Toronto. And then we'll go from there.
CS: On a related note, are concerns surrounding genetically-modified foods as prevalent in Canada as they are in the U.K. and the European Union?
Mark: I've been growing Roundup Ready soybeans and corn for well over 10 years. There's probably 40 to 50% of the corn and soybeans that are potentially Roundup Ready. That's been the main focus here for genetic modification. Now, there has been an issue out on the prairies with some flax and some canola, and that's a problem. But for the rest of the country for GM corn and soybeans, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. It's been really good for me, because I grow corn and soybeans and then I rotate my vegetable crops after those. It's very simple. I spray once with Roundup, and that's it. So, I'm not having to use three or four different sprays, some of which have carry-over issues in the soil and prevent me from growing certain crops afterward. And I'm not seeing any resistance, which people always said is going to happen. And I use cultivation as well in my program. Science and society have to catch up with the whole issue.

Denver crime scene investigators work the scene of a fatal shooting near the intersection of E. 36th Ave and Hudson St. in Denver. According to Denver Police the shooting occurred Saturday evening. Upon arrival, two were found dead inside a home and a third died at a local hospital.
Denver prosecutors have filed formal charges against three men in a shooting earlier this month that left three people dead and say the slayings happened during botched a marijuana sale.
Chadd Evans, 32, Dejuan Jones, 23, and Deashaun Turrentine, 24, are each charged with two counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted first-degree murder and a count of aggravated robbery.
"The charges allege that Evans, Jones, and Turrentine came to Denver from Oklahoma to illegally purchase several pounds of marijuana, and that during the transaction on June 3, 2016, they shot and killed two men and tried to kill five others," the Denver District Attorney's Office said in a Thursday news release.
The third man who died in the shooting, 27-year-old Derrius Woods, was an associate of the three charged. A fourth person was also wounded.
The shooting happened on the 3600 block of Hudson Street in the city's North Park Hill neighborhood.
Devonne Burton, 28 and Sean Point, 27, died in the encounter. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Woods was dropped off by a private vehicle at Children's Hospital in Aurora and later pronounced dead.
Burton, Point and Woods all died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to Denver's medical examiner.
Evans has been taken into custody in Tulsa, Okla., and Turrentine has been taken into custody in Las Vegas. Jones remains at large, authorities say.
Evans is a former University of Colorado football player who spent one year on the team's roster before transferring in 2004 to the University of Tulsa where he played in the 2005 season.
Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, said court records in the case have been sealed.

To what extent does this statement represent an accurate portrayal of the limits on EU law-making?
Note- The question asks about EU action, not that of its Member States. This is especially relevant when giving examples of case law(only cases regarding EU action). This area is only relevant where there is shared competence between EU and Member states.

Trump left board of his media company ahead of subpoenas, filing shows

Records show Donald Trump left the board of his social-media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, in June, weeks before the company was subpoenaed by authorities.
Video: Digital World board members get subpoena over Trump's social media deal (Reuters)
According to a filing with Florida's Division of Corporations dated June 8, the former president, his son Donald Trump Jr., Wes Moss, Kashyap Patel, Andrew Northwall and Scott Glabe all left the company's board of directors. The "board of directors" page on the company's website was blank as of Thursday night.
The Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune first reported the departures Thursday.
Trump's social network, Truth Social, denied the report in a post Thursday, saying Trump remains on the board of Trump Media as its chairman. It did not explain the state filing.
In late June, Trump Media & Technology Group received subpoenas from the Securities and Exchange Commission and a federal grand jury in New York, apparently related its SPAC deal to be acquired by Digital World Acquisition Corp. which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2022.
DWAC shares were little changed Thursday, but have sunk 53% year to date, compared to the S&P 500's 18% decline in 2022.

When I started Yoga teacher training, I expected to dive deep into the esoteric, to bask in a rich and challenging spiritual experience, and to come away knowing how to facilitate that experience in others.
But mostly we talked about asana.
Yes, there were workshops on pranayama, the Yoga Sutras and meditation, but about 80 percent of our time was dedicated to postures.
Don't talk about the chakras. Most people don't care about subtle anatomy or they think that it's looney.
Don't use a lot of Sanskrit, especially when teaching older people. It scares them away.
The most important thing is not to make people uncomfortable, because we want to keep them coming back.
I get that we want to make Yoga accessible. I can see how bombarding beginners with long Sanskrit passages, mula bandha adjustments, and partner work on vajroli mudra might be a little off putting.
But just how watered down are we talking?
If we take out the energy body and the ideas best described using their Sanskrit terms, what is left of Yoga philosophy? What is left of the spiritual path?
It turns out, what is left appears to be mindfulness—being present with body, breath and thoughts. And that's stellar, important, not to be sneezed at. But it may represent just a wee bit limited view of the Yoga tradition.
Recently, I was introduced to the term "McMindfulness" and pieces of what's happening in the Yoga world, at least in my Yoga world, started falling into place. I first read the term in a post over at dharmapunxnyc.com titled, "Mindfulness is Not Enough." Then I found the 2011 essay "McMindfulness and Frozen Yoga," from Miles Neale.
McMindfulness, as I understand it, refers to the practice of stripping down Eastern enlightenment traditions until all that is left is observing and accepting our present state, and to marketing mindfulness as a commodity.
Mindfulness, the ability to be present with what is (and whatever is), has somehow become the goal rather than one of the first steps on the path.
Different traditions used varying categories and terminology to describe spiritual growth. One of my favorites is the Ten Bulls or Ten Ox-herding Pictures from 12th century Zen Master Kakuan Shian, in which the bull represents the true Self.
It's pretty clear that mindfulness is covered in the first two or three steps.
Another elegant description of the path was put forward by Georg Feuerstein as the culmination of a lifetime of studying enlightenment traditions.
According to Feuerstein, these are the seven stages of psycho-spiritual growth: self-observation, self-acceptance, self-understanding, self-discipline, self-actualization, self-transcendence, and self-transformation. Again, mindfulness is covered early on under self-observation and self-acceptance.
If there is so much more of the path to travel, why are we stuck at the beginning?
Maybe it's because, as a culture, we are so conditioned to be outwardly focused, to speed things up and to keep distracted.
Maybe it has to do in part with our consumerism-based economy, in which marketers program us from childhood to believe that the superficial is of fundamental importance, that what others think about us is our measure of worth.
We learn not to observe ourselves but to watch others to see what they think. We don't learn to accept ourselves; we seek acceptance from others. Everything our culture teaches us turns us outward. For many, turning inward toward self-observation, acceptance, and understanding, toward perceiving the true Self, demands a radical overhaul of our way of being in the world. That is some seriously hard work.
If this is a valid argument, then the initial focus on mindfulness may be justified. And teachers who rein in the scope of various practices are doing what needs to be done for their students.
If their students then go out and teach what they learned, they will naturally pass on this narrower message. Regardless of how mindfulness became the goal instead of one of many means toward a much bigger end, the real question is what do we do now?
If we are going to get passed perceiving the bull (pun intended), we need to get comfortable with discomfort, our own and that which we may create in others.
For me, the most important thing is not keeping people comfortable to keep them coming back. It is to teach the Yoga that saved my life when I was teetering on the edge of despair in every waking moment. I'm not going to help anyone heal and grow by hiding the discomfort Yoga can cause.
Feuerstein defined tapas as "creative frustration." That is exactly what provokes growth. That is the discipline of Yoga.
In practice, this is difficult. I've been teaching for a few years now, and I still struggle with teaching for insight in two ways. The first has to do with slowing down. I often find myself thinking "Oh no, I've held this pose too long; they're getting twitchy." I think I should go faster and cover more different and difficult poses, because that is what people want.
The other struggle is with introducing Yogic concepts or reading passages because I don't want to offend people from various religious traditions.
There are times when I give in to what I think it is students want or expect or don't want to hear. But just as often, and more so as I become more comfortable with my discomfort, I take a breath and then the hard road. Long holds and silence, leaving people alone with themselves is good Yoga.
It's good for students to have to come out of a pose on their own. It creates a new possibility for acceptance. It's good for students to have to move slower than they are used to; it creates the opportunity to consider why slowing down is so difficult.
If I relied on Yoga for my main source of income, I might be far more concerned about making people happy and comfortable so they would keep coming back.
Maybe, and I say this hoping to start a discussion, Yoga isn't meant to be monetized and mindfulness isn't meant to be marketed.
If the goal is to keep the majority of people coming back, can we still teach to provoke insight? The spiritual path has never been heavily populated, never been mainstream. Is this why so much of what falls under the name of Yoga now is glorified aerobics and calisthenics? Because we are trying to make it mainstream?
I am aware of modern Yoga's derivation from the turn of the last century's physical culture movement with its gymnastics and boxing exercises, mixed with pieces taken from the medieval Hatha Yoga texts and Patanjali minus his dualism.
But just because what came to us was an amalgamation, does that mean it's ok to strip it further down, to throw out the last remnants of psycho-spiritual growth attached to it?
There are many, many teachers who are true to the Yoga tradition. But there are also many, many teachers who teach a different Yoga than what they believe in, the way I was taught to.
I do not teach to keep students coming back, although I love when they do.
I teach so that I might share this current adaptation of Yoga with the people who need it, discomfort and all.
Kirti, thanks for your comment. I feel like people are almost bored with this topic. I love that you bring up nonharming. Maybe we should be asking how the de-spiritualized approach to yoga is harming the tradition.
This article makes a lot of sense, and also the article of frozen yoga and mcmindfulness was out ages ago. All the Asians and Indians, no one is really surprised this was going to happen. Asana is just a vehicle as is mindfulness it is just part of the bigger picture and there are is so much more then the 1 limb of yoga. The asana practiced today are just circus acts and is scaring may people away from yoga. Which is very sad, all the different kinds of yoga are not really the practice of yoga, who are we kidding. Teachers get offended by this statement, because it brings the person closer to themselves, not really when the goal is to master a handstand and be eligible to to do a teacher training, now does it? New teachers call go for an interview in studios and call their practice a gig, or a choreography, is this the ballet? Or are we indulging in peoples attachments? These can also be considered harmful? Nonharming does not only refer to body it refers to the whole, mind, body and most of all our intentions with our actions. There is a shift occurring , would be great to see teacher trainings standards be professionalised and revised not by famous yoga teachers but by teachers from the east, if you really want authentic yoga. Yoga Alliance is a loosing battle. I do not hire people based on thejr alliance, but based on the kind of teachers they have studied with and there only a few trainings that are considered professional. Give the new wave asana classes a new name,don't need to use yoga or mindfulness for marketing purposes.
I know this isn't going to be a popular reply, but I disagree.
It doesn't have to be all or none. The 'authentic' studios are, and always will be, loyal to the roots, incorporating as much sanskrit, mula bandha, chakra language/concepts/adjustmetnts as they'd like. But to close off yoga completely to those that aren't ready/willing to dive deep is distinctly un-yogi.
Yoga offers a variety of layers, and if asana is the only one of interest to a portion of our population, why withhold it? And perhaps, if you draw them in with the asana, they'll be interested in more. And if they aren't – at least they're connecting with their body in a different way.
To each their own – please don't force your ideas of what yoga should and shouldn't be on others.

Dr. Jean-Paul Restoule of the Univerisity of Victoria and Dr. Angela Nardozi of Listen & Learn are proud to partner to bring you the fourth installment of the Kikinoo'amaagoowin Webinar Series: Teaching Mathematics In Relationship with Indigenous Ways of Knowing.
Teachers across (what we now refer to as) Canada are being encouraged to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing into every subject area. What does this look like in the mathematics classroom?
In this webinar, Nikki Lineham (a non-Indigenous educator living in Lekwungen territory) will share her experience bringing wholistic, collaboartive pedagogies based in Indigenous ways of knowing into her math teaching with a focus on spatial and visual learning. She will share concrete examples of lessons and pedagogies which can be geared towards all students. Nikki will also speak to her belief that this work must be personal and relevant to students, their communities, and the land that they are living and learning on.
Join Jean-Paul and Angela for this FREE 1-hour webinar on Thursday, February 28th, at 4:00pm PDT and 7:00pm EST or sign up to receive the recording the next day. We look forward to meeting you!
Nikki Lineham is a non-Indigenous math teacher in Lekwungen territory (Victoria, BC) who has been mentoring math teachers for over 12 years. Her passion stems from watching students, teachers and parents learn to understand math conceptually and the resulting growth in confidence, achievement and love for math. Nikki is currently in the first cohort of educators enrolled in the post-graduate certificate in ethnomathemtics at the University of Hawaii. This experience has fueled a new passion for culturally sustaining math teaching. It has also given her more tools to support teachers in understanding how Indigenous perspectives and ways of knowing can be incorporated into teaching as a way to support all learners.
