In 1983 I tore my right Achilles Tendon playing basketball and had surgery to repair it.
Then in 1986 I tore my left one playing softball and had surgery.
I must be the luckiest person that ever did this because I experienced very little pain before or after surgery.
Each recoup took about three months. The worst part for me was being on crutches for the first two months each time and being virtually helpless. After healing I experienced only some discomfort after very physically active days.
I just tore the right one again last night, so here we go again.
Well, that's good you didn't have much pain. And sounds like really good recoveries.
And it doesn't sound like you have much of a resulting, ongoing Tendonitis problem from it. Excellent.
Did you tear all the way through, or just a big partial tear?
I'm curious why are you ripping so much.
Have you had a lot of other injuries?
I'm a 41 male who is very active. I lift weights 5 times a week and play basketball 2 nights a week.
One night while playing basketball i completely tore my Achillies Tendon. After the MRI, surgery was scheduled and completed 7 days after my injury. Surgery went very well.
The rupture was over 1.25cm and the my doctor used 8 strand instead of the normal 4 to tie the tendons back together. im two weeks out of surgery and i just got my stitches out yesterday.
I feel the key to the great quality surgery and painfree recovery is due to pre-surgery actions.
First of all i iced my ankle 5 times a day for 30 min to reduce swelling in my ankle. The second key was having my surgery fast after the injury before any scar tissue could form. After surgery i have not taken any pain meds but 4 ibuprofen 2 times a day to help with swelling.
I also move my toes all the time to help with blood flow and swelling. Not my ankle, just my toes. In two weeks i will start rehab.
i blew my achilles tendon playing basketball. went to the hospital which i recieved no help. then i went to the city hospital where they saw me. the doctors looked at my leg and determined they would not do the surgry because i had no insurance and my tendon was not completly torn.
i almost died when they said this to me. basically they told me go away u have a little piece left. now my leg is skinny. looks awful. i hate how people stare at my leg.
That's not the best of news. It makes me wonder how in danger you are of a complete rupture, depending how how big the original tear was.
What are you doing for self care to help it along?
It was from the ace wrap around the half cast put on post surgery TOO tight. I suffered for 5 days before I finally just unwrapped it and elevated it.
Instant relief but have had a few shooting pain episodes in my big toe, surely from the area being ischemic from the tight wraps and swelling.
I imagine the same thing could happen from a solid cast with swelling after applied.
That shooting pain can be from several things.
Could be from part of the ischemia (lack of blood in/to a muscle) dynamic, could be from magnesium deficiency and/or possibly a B12 (and/or B6) deficiency, could be from the nervous system being freaked out because it got cut into.
Realistically, it's some amount of each of those, all working together.
Does anyone experience regular shooting electrical type pain shooting down their leg after surgery from an achilles rupture?


Actually, I am at a loss if at all I would be asked to describe a friend. There are so many description of what it is. Accordingly, there are good friends, fair weather friends, accidental friends, instant friends, etc. At first glance, there are also best friends and friends of your friends. This generation has defined friendship in a narrow sense by introducing the so-called BFF or best friend forever as if there is no limit or challenge to encounter.
There is also a new friend in contrast with an old friend; a young friend with that of an elderly friend. There is also the ex-friend, one who once was a part of you but money or jealousy set you apart. And then, the boss friend, one whom you look up to similar to a parent but is more protective of your turf or interest.
As there are so many classification and categories of friendship, so is my relation to my friends. Although I would rather not arrange them in batch or column but would rather accept them, as they come, as they really are—as plain and simple—friend.
I don't really care if friendship is used to exploit or explore someone. I don't really care if I encounter hardship or penury because of it. I don't give a damn if there is curse appended to it. For me, a friend is a friend is a friend.
History reveals that betrayals are more of a natural response among friends. Treachery is almost an element. Disloyalty and perfidy can only be expressed in the course of friendship gone haywire. In friendship, there is danger and pain. But it is also in friendship where salvation and deliverance is sweeter.
I grew up in an environment that makes a person whole. My orientation is more renaissance than romantic. I learned early that one could survive and be an island all by himself. It is easier to be alone than with someone. You are not only forced to work for the success of a relationship, you also do not impose or expect someone to adjust to your idiosyncrasies. It is fair for everyone.
If at all I would be enjoined to live in a group, I would rather present myself as a friend, rather than move around looking for one. I see myself as complement rather than an accessory; a counterpart more than a decoration. I am never in search of friendship if it would only reduce someone. I would rather have someone improving as a consequence of my existence.
And so alone I hop from one genre to another. Adjusting from one field onwards another. Brokering plans, entering into various areas in search of dreams, formulating opportunities and in the process creating friends along the way. The more I move around, the more friends I make, the more people I meet, the more occasion to be acquainted with humanity.
Wherever I am I feel fulfilled. I can already count my blessings. But there are instances when I would find myself surrounded by people. It is at times incumbent in my stars that wherever I find myself in a particular area, there are people who would later constitute a circle where I always would wind up. They navigate on the same stream I would find myself paddling. My association with them would later be seen as a friendly overture for collaboration. Some would find my cause and would find it similar to them. We co-exist precisely because of it. As I move, so they would also. Any error committed along the way would likewise be seen as a collective error with me at the top. That would also be a realization that despite my keen understanding of danger, of skillfully eluding hazards, here I am confronted with scores of them, which at times are brought about by careless acts.
I am also never given to blaming others. Neither would I retreat for being undiscriminating. I would just shrug my shoulders and analyze things with a view of changing strategies as events unfold never to be shortchanged or fooled by incidents ahead of me. The problem, I dare say, is not mine or from those who are close to me. The problem is the inability to act, inability to understand and inability to skip a sink hole. While I have such readiness, the company I keep has no orientation about it. As they fail and crash, so does my own prestige also.
But there is no rancor on my part. I along with my friends are subject to any trial and tribulation. I can be a part of failure, I can join a painful struggle, I can also withstand difficulty along with the great masses. After all, I am but a bit player in the universe, very mortal and naturally corporeal. Like any other living creature, I bleed, I get hurt, I am subject to Father Time. I get sick and experience frustration. I exhibit every weakness of a human being except one quality which I disdain and has completely ignored, that of cowardice. But just like any other man who believes in luck, I could only sit back, smile and be contented in contemplation, thinking that I can succeed in any endeavor at any given time whenever I set my mind into.
That is one area I wish my friends would internalize too.

What a great little garden they've got out the back, since the recentish refurb. A real little haven. Sure hope this is the start of things to come for SE1. We need some decent pubs!
Really nice pub there and the garden is great in the summer.... however, one small gripe.
I was in there about a month ago on the weekend, been there lots of times before. My partner and I had a drink and a meal, the bill came to 17 pounds odd. Not a lot, but we didn't have cash, had assumed that you could use your switch card like most other pubs in the area. No they have a link cash machine in the pub for cash withdrawls to pay your bar bill. They do accept visa, but not switch/delta etc. Not having a visa we were forced to use the cash machine, which incurred the 1.25 charge for the withdrawl. However, the machine had run out of money so we only got 10 of the 20 pounds we tried to get. I explained this to the guy behind the bar (who is the manager) and he said "no problems, I will take switch" So he rung someone up and then his visa/switch terminal would suddenly accept switch - for 15 minutes only so he could process our sale.
I questioned him about why he didn't take switch regularly over the bar, to which he told me in was company policy becuase it cost them money to take switch and they make money on the link. I will not go there again, I told him so and that I would go to one of the other pubs in the area that is a bit more customer focussed.
But, if you are going there, I would encourage you all to pay by visa so that they will incur the visa fee's instead. Say something to them about switch not been accepted and hopefully they will see sense.
Glad to see you are not going there again, because to be honest I wouldn't want people like you spoiling one of the decent pubs around here.
Guess what? pubs tend to be run as businesses not charities and as every switch transaction costs them between £1 or £2 so they have a choice, either take switch and filter the prices through to each and every customer or charge the single customer for the transaction or put in a cash machine and allow the freedom of choice for those lazy bastards who can be bothered to go to a cash machine on the way to a pub.
You know what Starbucks charge about 2 quid for a coffee, now you could make a cup of coffee at home before you leave for work for a fraction of the cost but hey it might be cold by the time you get to work, you are paying for the convenience.
So stick to your faceless all bar one's with their rude, slow inept staff and pay an extra 50p a pint for the privilege of being able to pay by switch. I'll be supping a pint in a great local pub, get served quickly by staff who are actually friendly and don't have to wait half an hour to get served.
Jeepers, do Starbucks charge 2 quid for a coffee, I don't know, I wouldn't go near the place, much prefer to stick to Monmouth Coffee (proper coffee, not the scalded flavoured milk that you buy at starbucks). Haven't been to an All bar one/slug and lettuce/weatherspoon pub in the last few years either. I would much prefer to go to Simon the tanner, The leather exchange or the other one on Weston street (it's name escapes me).
Do you know where the nearest cash machine to the Scotia bar is, I would think either London Bridge station or the Natwest just south of Tower Bridge. A bit of a pain when it's raining and you only live a hundred yards from the Scotia.
Luckily I have moved now (you'll be pleased as I am further away from the Scotia :-)) and there is a cash machine right over the road from my new flat so I won't get caught out like this again. And guess what, the Anchor on Bankside is now my nearest pub and I agree with everything said in the other thread (but they do accept switch hehehe).
I would have thought that the Scotia would have accepted switch on orders over 10 quid or so, offer to run a tab if you leave your card and then when you go, there's one bill to pay, one transaction fee. They would probably make more money this way as people can keep on drinking and enjoying the good atmostphere and service of the pub without having to duck our the door to get some more cash if the don't want to use the link.
Personally, I avoid paying for drinks whenever possible, so thanks to JohnR for the Scotia tip. I'll remember to take my Electron card next time.
Who needs cash when you've got Mondex?
Biscuit Boy you have a lot of anger in you! I have been reading your threads and you remind me of Militant Mandy, a character from Viz but in male form. he he he he. take a chill pill man!
Claudisa you are right, I read over my post and it seem a little vicious.
All I am saying is no matter what type of card you pay with the credit card company/bank makes money and this comes from somewhere. If you use the cash machine in the pub you pay it direct, if you pay at the bar they cover their costs by adding a few pence to every pint or meal.
It just gets my blood boiling that people cause a fuss about things like this and encouraging people to 'pay by visa so that they will incur the visa fee's instead' is a little petty minded.
Sell your business quick (what is it anyway?), and open a decent bar PLEASE!!!!
I've heard it's much better in there than it used to be now!
Does anyone know, are there any funky bars either open or opening soon - which play wicked music, have a little dancefloor area on special nights, plus serve wicked food, especially Sunday Roasts? Not too much to ask, surely?

Tim Berners-Lee announced the creation of the World Wide Web Foundation which is meant to bring the Web to everyone in the World. Berners-Lee, the father of the internet, has an extremely ambitious project on his hands this time. The president and CEO of Knight Foundation, has announced a five-million dollar seed grant to support the mission.
According to the new foundation's website, it "seeks to advance One Web that is free and open, to expand the Web's capability and robustness, and to extend the Web's benefits to all people on the planet. The Web Foundation brings together business leaders, technology innovators, academia, government, NGOs, and experts in many fields to tackle challenges that, like the Web, are global in scale."
Berners-Lee says the internet needs to have a long reach and greater accessibility to satisfy the needs of people all over the world. Father inter also says that he wants people in the most remote village to feel his "pride" (his nickname for the internet). Father Internet's new project aims to have "humanity connected".
Villagers in India or Africa might not have food, water, shelter or safety, but at least they'll have the internet.
Google recently released Chrome, a new browser that they claim will drive the future of internet applications. Chrome itself is designated to become more of an operating system than a browser. Why I say this is more than just because of the way it has been developed. Developers working on Chrome have made it clear that this browser has to be capable of more than what current browsers have been so far.
To start with, there's the whole sandboxing of tabs and careful memory management. It's true; the browser actually comes with its own task manager. Users can close each tab or window, or even a component or plug-in within a tab, without affecting other tabs or the rest of the browser. Sounds quite similar to the way an operating system should function, doesn't it?
They there's the fact that it will handle the memory management within its own space; it has a new virtual machine for optimized JavaScript handling (as current JavaScript VMs tend to be slow), and even a complete privacy mode that handles all the after session cleanup for users. All of this just reeks of OS functionality. And why not? After all, hasn't everyone who's anyone in the IT world concurred to the fact that rich internet applications are the future (see last month's issue).
So what better application exists to operate these applications in than an operating system! It's not hard to see where Google is going with the launch of their "browser" now, is it?
For more information about how Chrome is designed to work, visit the Chrome webcomic at Google Books then flip to page 68 after the break to see how Google's Chrome does in our review.
True to earlier predictions, the Apple App Store is apparently rejecting useful applications made for the iPhone. Independent iPhone application developer Angelo Dinardi developed an application called MailWrangler for the iPhone and submitted the software to Apple's App Store. Mailwrangler allows users to log in to multiple Gmail accounts, view mails as hreads, pick up Gmail contacts, archive, and "star" messages - features which are lacking in the iPhone's default Mail app.
Yet, the response Dinardi received when his application was rejected was that his application was rejected was that his software "duplicates the functionality of the built-in iPhone application Mail"
Dinardi complained about the misstep on Apple's part in overlooking his product stating that he may as well "just write another flashlight of glowstick application to actually get published. That's the only apps Apple seems to want in the store."
This is not an isolated incident either. Other applications that had been rejected from the App Store include Podcaster and NetShare, both of which also offer additional functionality that the iPhone lacks by default and that complies with Apple's attitude of retaining control. Podcaster allows users to send out and receive podcasts from their iPhone and NetShare gives iPhone the functionality of being used as a modern for other devices.
Apple had this reply for rejecting Podcaster: "Since Podcaster assists in the distribution of podcasts, it duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes."

Before ENGEL, MARTIN and CONTIE, Circuit Judges.
BOYCE F. MARTIN, Jr., Circuit Judge.
In this appeal, two Tennessee newspapers, intervening parties in the lawsuit between United American Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are seeking a writ of mandamus. The newspapers request that we vacate an order of the district court which permitted the bank to remove from the court's record, prior to public inspection, two exhibits the bank had filed in its lawsuit against the FDIC.
On January 25, 1983, bank examiners of the FDIC, pursuant to their statutory authority to regulate federally-insured state banks, presented the bank officials with a list of 423 questionable loans in United American's portfolio. The list contained the names of borrowers and the amount of each loan. The bank responded by submitting to the FDIC a loan-by-loan defense of each of the 423 loans listed by the FDIC as questionable. This response contained extensive discussion of the borrower's financial condition, prospects and personal life.
During this time, stories were appearing in the Tennessee news media discussing the FDIC's concern over the bank's financial condition. Apparently in response to this media attention, the bank issued a press release on January 28, 1983 disclosing its fourth-quarter and year-end financial results for 1982. The figures relied upon in this press release came from an audit report prepared by the bank's own independent accountants. The press release did not mention the FDIC's list of questionable loans.
On February 4, 1983, the FDIC served on the bank a Temporary Order to Cease and Desist which required that:
Immediately upon service of this TEMPORARY ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST, the Bank shall correct the false or misleading public statements disseminated by the Bank, or officers, directors, or employees of the Bank, on or about January 29, 1983.
The Bank shall file an amended consolidated Report of Condition and an amended consolidated Report of Income as provided under section 7(a) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. § 1817(a)) which shall accurately reflect the financial condition of the Bank as of December 31, 1982.
On February 8, the bank filed suit in the district court pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(c) (2), seeking an injunction to prohibit the FDIC from enforcing its Temporary Cease and Desist Order.
Upon filing, counsel for the bank was granted, ex parte, a protective order from the district court sealing the entire court record. At that time, the record contained the bank's complaint, ten exhibits, and responsive pleadings. Included among the ten exhibits were the FDIC's list of questionable loans, Exhibit 3, and the bank's loan-by-loan response, Exhibit 4. The protective order, dated February 8, barred all public access to the court file and ordered the parties to keep confidential any information derived from the court file. On February 11, the Knoxville News-Sentinel Co., whose reporters had been assigned to monitor the litigation between the bank and the FDIC, filed in this court a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to vacate the protective order. On February 14, the Knoxville Journal Corporation and Tennessean Newspapers, Inc., also filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. The newspapers argued that the lawsuit between the bank and the FDIC dealt with events and personalities of "immense public interest." They contended public access to the file was needed to facilitate further discussion and debate among the citizens of Tennessee about these important matters.
In a memorandum opinion dated February 11, 1983, the district court set forth its reasons for sealing the court record. First, the court noted the sensitive nature of the exhibits relating to the bank's customers and the bank's loan policy. The district court acknowledged the bank's contention that public disclosure "would result in the FDIC prevailing in the action before the issues are joined or any necessary hearing is held." In light of these circumstances, the court concluded there was authority to deny public access to the court file in order to "protect the interest of the Bank in this case."
On February 14, the Tennessee Commissioner of Banking ordered United American closed because of extensive loan losses, and appointed the FDIC as receiver of the bank. On February 15, the FDIC negotiated an agreement with the First Tennessee Bank of Knoxville to assume all the assets and liabilities of United American Bank. On the same day, the district court issued an order dismissing the lawsuit between United American and the FDIC. This order also lifted the February 8 protective order, but directed that Exhibits 3 and 4 be withdrawn from the court file and returned to counsel for the bank, "with the understanding that the exhibits will be preserved and submitted to the Sixth Circuit if requested by that Court." On February 18, the newspapers filed amended Petitions for a Writ of Mandamus in this court seeking an order vacating the February 15 order to the extent that it permits the removal of Exhibits 3 and 4 from the district court's records.
In our view, this appeal presents two separate issues:
(1) Did the district court's February 15 order, which dismissed the underlying lawsuit between the bank and the FDIC and provided for public access to the remaining documents in the court file, moot the newspapers' claims against the district court?
(2) Did the district court abuse its discretion by permitting counsel for the bank to remove Exhibits 3 and 4 from the court's file?
Our conclusion after a review of the record indicates no abuse of discretion in ordering Exhibits 3 and 4 expunged from the record. We also find that the remainder of the newspapers' claims against the district court have been rendered moot.
Regarding the first issue, it is well established that we do not decide moot questions. Hall v. Beals, 396 U.S. 45, 90 S. Ct. 200, 24 L. Ed. 2d 214 (1969); Golden v. Zwickler, 394 U.S. 103, 89 S. Ct. 956, 22 L. Ed. 2d 113 (1969). Here, the newspapers have requested that we instruct the district court to refrain from issuing orders similar to the order of February 8, 1983. They complain that such an order violates their common law and first amendment rights of access to judicial records. They argue that only definitive instructions from this court will prevent future protective orders from being issued. This we decline to do. International Union, etc. v. Dana Corp., 697 F.2d 718 (6th Cir. 1983).
It is undisputed that the newspapers now have access to the court's entire file, except for Exhibits 3 and 4. Putting aside their right of access to these latter two exhibits, the newspapers are now in the same position they would have been had no protective order issued. There is no indication the district court intends to place future restrictions on the public's access to the file in this case. The record before us does not reveal a set of facts "of sufficient immediacy and reality" warranting a writ of mandamus. Maryland Casualty Co. v. Pacific Coal and Oil Co., 312 U.S. 270, 273, 61 S. Ct. 510, 512, 85 L. Ed. 826 (1941); United States v. Brooklier, 685 F.2d 1162, 1173 (9th Cir. 1982). Thus, we have before us "more than a 'mere voluntary cessation of allegedly illegal conduct' where we would leave the [district court] free to return to [its] old ways. As to the [newspapers'] original complaint, there is now 'no reasonable expectation that the [alleged] wrong will be repeated.' " Preiser v. Newkirk, 422 U.S. 395, 402, 95 S. Ct. 2330, 2334, 45 L. Ed. 2d 272 (1975) (citations omitted); Cf. City of Mesquite v. Aladdin's Castle, Inc., 455 U.S. 283, 102 S. Ct. 1070, 1074, 71 L. Ed. 2d 152 (1982).
As the facts stand now, further relief is unnecessary. The newspapers cannot point to any continuing harm or future threat that the district court will issue similar protective orders denying their right of access to the file in question. As stated in United States v. SCRAP, 412 U.S. 669, 688-689, 93 S. Ct. 2405, 2416-2417, 37 L. Ed. 2d 254 (1973), "pleadings must be something more than an ingenious academic exercise in the conceivable. A plaintiff must allege that he has been or will in fact be perceptibly harmed by the challenged [governmental] action, not that he can imagine circumstances in which he could be affected by [governmental] action." Speculative contingencies afford no basis for our granting relief. Preiser v. Newkirk, supra, 422 U.S. at 403, 95 S. Ct. at 2335; Hall v. Beals, supra, 396 U.S. at 49-50, 90 S. Ct. at 202.
The other issue in this case concerns whether the district court abused its discretion in ordering Exhibits 3 and 4 removed from its file prior to public inspection. In Nixon v. Warner Communications, 435 U.S. 589, 98 S. Ct. 1306, 55 L. Ed. 2d 570 (1978), the Supreme Court noted that "every court has supervisory power over its own records and files." This principle has been consistently applied by this court and the other circuits when reviewing a district court's handling of its records and files. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. v. FTC, 710 F.2d 1165 (6th Cir. 1983); Krause v. Rhodes, 671 F.2d 212 (6th Cir. 1982), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 823, 103 S. Ct. 54, 74 L. Ed. 2d 59 (1982); Offices of Lakeside Non-Ferrous Metals, Inc. v. United States, 679 F.2d 778 (9th Cir. 1982); FDIC v. Ernst & Ernst, 677 F.2d 230 (2d Cir. 1982); United States v. Hubbard, 650 F.2d 293 (D.C. Cir. 1980).
Yet, the power to exercise "discretion" does not imply that discretionary powers can be exercised without restraint. A district court's determination on the sealing of its own record is "not insulated from review merely because the judge has discretion in this domain. The [d]istrict [c]ourt's discretion is circumscribed by a long-established legal tradition." Brown & Williamson, 710 F.2d at 1177. This long-established legal tradition is the presumptive right of the public to inspect and copy judicial documents and files. Nixon v. Warner Communications, 435 U.S. at 597, 98 S. Ct. at 1311; In Re Application of National Broadcasting Co., Inc., (United States v. Criden I), 648 F.2d 814, 819 (3d Cir. 1981); In Re Application of National Broadcasting Co., Inc., (United States v. Jenrette), 653 F.2d 609, 612 (D.C. Cir. 1981); In Re Application National Broadcasting Co., Inc., (United States v. Myers), 635 F.2d 945, 949 (2d Cir. 1980); United States v. Mitchell, 551 F.2d 1252, 58-60 (D.C. Cir. 1976), rev'd on other grounds sub nom. Nixon v. Warner Communications, supra. The recognition of this right of access goes back to the Nineteenth Century, when, in Ex Parte Drawbraugh, 2 App.D.C. 404 (1894), the D.C. Circuit stated: "Any attempt to maintain secrecy, as to the records of this court, would seem to be inconsistent with the common understanding of what belongs to a public court of record, to which all persons have the right of access." Id. at 407.
There are, however, important exceptions which limit the public's right of access to judicial records.
[T]he right to inspect and copy judicial records is not absolute. Every court has supervisory power over its own records and files, and access has been denied where court files might have become a vehicle for improper purposes. For example, the common law right of inspection has bowed before the power of a court to insure that its records are not "used to gratify private spite or promote public scandal" through the publication of "the painful and sometimes disgusting details of a divorce case." Similarly, courts have refused to permit their files to serve as reservoirs of libelous statements for press consumption, or as sources of business information that might harm a litigant's competitive standing.
Nixon v. Warner Communications, 435 U.S. at 598, 98 S. Ct. at 1312 (citations omitted). Thus, trial courts have always been afforded the power to seal their records when interests of privacy outweigh the public's right to know. Brown & Williamson, 710 F.2d at 1179; In Re Halkin, 598 F.2d 176, 190-192 (D.C. Cir. 1979); Ottaway Newspapers, Inc. v. Appeals Court, 372 Mass. 539, 362 N.E.2d 1189 (1977) (sealing of record at preliminary injunction stage of judicial proceedings between bank and state banking commissioner not an unconstitutional infringement on free press guaranty). But, as noted, the decision as to when judicial records should be sealed is left to the sound discretion of the district court, subject to appellate review for abuse.
In reviewing the district court's determination on this matter, we feel compelled to make two points. First, we note the failure of the district court to afford the press a reasonable opportunity to state their objections to its protective order. As noted by the Supreme Court in Gannett Co., Inc. v. De Pasquale, 443 U.S. 368, 401, 99 S. Ct. 2898, 2916, 61 L. Ed. 2d 608 (1979) (Powell, J., concurring), id. at 446, 99 S. Ct. at 2939 (Blackmun, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part), and Globe Newspaper Co. v. Superior Court, 457 U.S. 596, 102 S. Ct. 2613, 2622 n. 25, 73 L. Ed. 2d 248 (1982), "representatives of the press and the general public 'must be given an opportunity to be heard on the question of their exclusion.' " See also United States v. Brooklier, supra, 685 F.2d at 1168; United States v. Criden II, 675 F.2d 550, 558-59 (3d Cir. 1982); Sacramento Bee v. United States District Court, 656 F.2d 477, 481-482 (9th Cir. 1981). Gannett involved a motion, made in open court, requesting the public and press be excluded from a pretrial suppression hearing in a murder prosecution. Globe concerned a motion, made during preliminary hearings, to exclude the public from the courtroom during the prosecution of a defendant charged with raping three minor girls. Writing for four Justices in Gannett, Justice Blackmun stated:
I would conclude that any person removed from a court should be given a reasonable opportunity to state his objections prior to the effectiveness of the order. This opportunity need not take the form of an evidentiary hearing; it need not encompass extended legal argument that results in delay; and the public need not be given prior notice that a closure order will be considered at a given time and place. But where a member of the public contemporaneously objects, the court should provide a reasonable opportunity to that person to state his objection.
Gannett, 443 U.S. at 445-446, 99 S. Ct. at 2939 (Blackmun, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part). Justice Powell adopted a similar view in his concurring opinion.
Representatives of these groups must be given an opportunity to be heard on the question of their exclusion. But this opportunity extends no farther than the persons actually present at the time the motion for closure is made, for the alternative would require substantial delays in trial and pretrial proceedings while notice was given to the public. Upon timely objection to the granting of the motion, it is incumbent upon the trial court to afford those present a reasonable opportunity to be heard on the question whether the defendant is likely to be deprived of a fair trial if the press and public are permitted to remain in attendance.
443 U.S. at 401, 99 S. Ct. at 2916 (Powell, J. concurring). See also Globe, Newspaper Co., supra, 102 S. Ct. at 2622 n. 25. It is clear from these statements that persons present in open court have a right to be heard on the question of their exclusion.
The Third and Ninth Circuits have extended this right to be heard to cases where requests for closure are made to the trial judge in writing or during in-chambers conference when members of the public are not present. Brooklier, supra; Criden II, supra. Both of these courts have required that reasonable steps be taken to afford the public and press an opportunity to submit their views on the question of their exclusion before a closure motion is acted upon. Brooklier, 685 F.2d at 1168; Criden II, 675 F.2d at 559-560. We believe our holding in Brown & Williamson, supra, invites application of a similar rule where a district court is requested, either in writing under seal or during an in-chambers conference, to seal its record. See Associated Press v. United States District Court, 705 F.2d 1143, 1146 n. 1 (9th Cir. 1983).
Like the district courts in Brooklier and Criden I, the district court below was well aware of the public's interest in the litigation between United American and the FDIC. After receiving the bank's request to seal the record, the district court had an obligation to consider the rights of the public and the press. In its memorandum opinion the district court acknowledged the interest of the public in disclosure, but found that interest subordinate to the interests of the bank. In our view, the district court should not be placed "in the position of sole guardian of first amendment interests even against the express wishes of both parties." Younger, The Sheppard Mandate Today: A Trial Judge's Perspective, 56 Neb.L.Rev. 1, 6-7 (1977), quoted in Criden II, 675 F.2d at 558. Rather, the public and press should be afforded, where possible, an independent opportunity to present their claims. "Certainly, the failure to invite participation of the party seeking to exercise first amendment [and common law rights] reduces the possibility of a narrowly drawn order, and substantially imperils the protection which the amendment [and the common law] seeks to assure." Carroll v. President and Commissioners of Princess Anne, 393 U.S. 175, 184, 89 S. Ct. 347, 353, 21 L. Ed. 2d 325 (1968). The importance of the rights involved and interests served by those rights require that the public and press be given an opportunity to respond before being denied their presumptive right of access to judicial records.
In order to protect this right to be heard, the most reasonable approach would be to require that motions to seal be docketed with the clerk of the district court. The records maintained by the clerk are public records. If a party moves to seal a document, or the entire court record, such a motion should be made "sufficiently in advance of any hearing on or disposition of the [motion to seal] to afford interested members of the public an opportunity to intervene and present their views to the court." Criden II, 675 F.2d at 559. The district court should then allow interested members of the public a reasonable opportunity to present their claims, without causing unnecessary or material delay in the underlying proceeding. Brooklier, 685 F.2d at 1168, citing Gannett, 443 U.S. at 401, 99 S. Ct. at 2916 (Powell, J., concurring), id. at 446, 99 S. Ct. at 2939 (Blackmun, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part). In this case, however, we believe the progression of events, including our own review, has sufficiently cured the district court's failure to afford the press an opportunity to be heard on the question of their exclusion, and we therefore deny mandamus relief on this issue.
The second point we wish to make concerns the scope of our review. In light of the important rights involved, the district court's decision is not accorded the traditional scope of "narrow review reserved for discretionary decisions based on first-hand observations." United States v. Criden I, 648 F.2d at 818. Only the most compelling reasons can justify non-disclosure of judicial records. Brown & Williamson, 710 F.2d at 1179-80; United States v. Myers, 635 F.2d at 952. As stated by the D.C. Circuit:
To say that discretion exists, however, is not to say, as appellee contends, that what is involved here "is simply a policy determination." Appellants seek to vindicate a precious common law right, one that predates the Constitution itself. While the courts have sanctioned incursions on this right, they have done so only when they have concluded that "justice so requires." To demand any less would demean the common law right.
United States v. Mitchell, 551 F.2d at 1260 (footnotes omitted). With these principles in mind, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in ordering Exhibits 3 and 4 removed from the file.
The district court's order allowing removal of Exhibits 3 and 4 from its file properly protected the identity and privacy of customers of the bank whose names were included in the two exhibits. Congressional support for this action is reflected in statutory provisions and regulatory rules. The Right to Financial Privacy Act, 12 U.S.C. § 3401-3421, outlines numerous restrictions on the disclosure of financial records held by bank employees and federal regulatory authorities. The Act imposes an affirmative duty on the government and banking officials to safeguard the financial records of individuals utilizing the services of banks. Section 3417(a) enforces the Act's commands by allowing bank customers to recover civil penalties from " [a]ny agency or department of the United States or financial institution obtaining or disclosing financial records" in violation of the Act. In addition to the civil penalties permitted by 12 U.S.C. § 3417, Congress has also made it a federal crime for bank examiners, federal or private, to disclose information obtained in the course of examining a federally insured bank. 18 U.S.C. § 1906 expressly prohibits any bank examiner with access to the financial records bank customers from disclosing personal information discovered from those records.
Further Congressional recognition of the confidentiality of financial records is illustrated in 5 U.S.C. § 552(b) (8). This provision exempts from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act information complied by government officials responsible for the regulation or supervision of financial institutions. As noted in Consumers Union of United States, Inc. v. Heimann, 589 F.2d 531, 534 (D.C. Cir. 1978), the "primary reason for adoption of exemption 8 was to ensure the security of financial institutions." Without this exemption, there was Congressional concern that indiscriminate disclosure of financial records regarding the loan policies of banks "might undermine public confidence and cause unwarranted runs on banks." Id. at 534 (footnote omitted). Congress also recognized the need to preserve the close relationship between banks and their supervising agencies. "If details of the bank examinations were made freely available to the public and to bank competitors, there was concern that banks would cooperate less than fully with federal authorities." Id. at 534. Furthermore, exemption 8 prevents the casual disclosure of customer financial data held by the government pursuant to their regulatory authority, thereby ensuring traditional concepts of confidentiality associated with personal banking records.
Finally, the confidentiality of financial records is recognized in regulations governing the disclosure of financial documents held by the FDIC. 12 C.F.R. Sec. 309.5(f) (8) (1982) provides that " [r]ecords contained in or related to examination, operating, or condition reports by or on behalf of, or for the use of, the [FDIC] or any agency responsible for the regulation or supervision of financial institutions," are exempt from public disclosure. Similar provisions are applicable to the Comptroller of the Currency, 12 C.F.R. Sec. 4.16(b) (8) (1982); Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Sec. 261.6(a) (2) (1982); and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, 12 C.F.R. Sec. 505.5(a) (2) (1982). The legality of these regulations has survived judicial scrutiny. Denny v. Carey, 78 F.R.D. 370, 372 (E.D. Pa. 1978), citing United States ex rel. Touhy v. Ragen, 340 U.S. 462, 71 S. Ct. 416, 95 L. Ed. 417 (1951). Viewed together, these statutory and regulatory provisions clearly indicate Congress' intention that the banking records of individuals be kept in strict confidence. The privacy interests embodied in those provisions identify a compelling government interest in preserving the secrecy of personal financial records. The February 15 order of the district court is narrowly tailored to serve that interest.
The strongest argument against the action of the district court is our decision in Brown & Williamson Tobacco v. FTC, 710 F.2d 1165 (6th Cir. 1983). But this case is distinguishable. In Brown & Williamson this court refused to uphold a lower court's sealing of the record, notwithstanding the claim that public access to the file would hurt Brown and Williamson's business prominence. "Simply showing that the information would harm the company's reputation is not sufficient to overcome the strong common law presumption in favor of public access to court proceedings and records." Id. at 1179. Here, however, the district court's removal of Exhibits 3 and 4 was designed not to protect the business reputation of the bank, which no longer existed as a banking entity when the order was issued, but rather to protect the privacy rights of borrowers who dealt with the bank. Unlike the protected party in Brown & Williamson, who sought to deny public access because of the adverse business effect disclosure might cause, the individuals protected by the closure order here are third parties who were not responsible for the initiation of the underlying litigation. These individuals possessed a justifiable expectation of privacy that their names and financial records not be revealed to the public. Their interests in privacy are sufficiently compelling to justify non-disclosure. United States v. Jenrette, supra, 653 F.2d at 620 (interest in avoiding injury to innocent third parties properly weighed against broadcasters' right of access); Application of American Broadcasting Companies, 537 F. Supp. 1168, 1172-73 (D.D.C. 1982); Application of KSTP Television, 504 F. Supp. 360, 363 (D. Minn. 1980).
Brown & Williamson is distinguishable in another way. There, the court noted the public's strong interest in disclosure because the subject being litigated "potentially involves the health of citizens who have an interest in knowing the accurate 'tar' and nicotine content of the various brands of cigarettes on the market." Id. at 1180. See also United States v. General Motors, No. 83-2220, (D.D.C. Filed October 19, 1983) (public interest in disclosure of documents regarding auto safety outweighs defendant's interest in avoiding adverse publicity). Here, the newspapers can point to no analogous need of the public to know about the names and financial records of the bank's customers. While it is true the litigation between the bank and the FDIC involved matters of "immense public interest," the "presumptively paramount" right of the public to know must be weighed against competing interests of privacy. Nixon v. Warner Communications, 435 U.S. at 598, 98 S. Ct. at 1312; In Re Franklin National Bank Securities Lit., 92 F.R.D. 468-471 (E.D.N.Y. 1981), aff'd, FDIC v. Ernst & Ernst, 677 F.2d 230 (2d Cir. 1982); United States v. Jenrette, 653 F.2d at 620; Crystal Grower's Corp. v. Dobbins, 616 F.2d 458, 461 (10th Cir. 1980). As noted in Brown & Williamson, the "privacy rights of participants and third parties" are among those interests which, in appropriate cases, can limit the presumptive right of access to judicial records. Brown & Williamson, 710 F.2d at 1179. Under the particular facts here, we find the privacy rights of these borrowers sufficiently compelling to warrant a restriction of the public's right to know.
Finally, we must take account of the bank's initial reliance on the district court's protective order. The bank asserts it was forced to file suit against the FDIC to protect its business interests. They contend, however, that their cause of action under 12 U.S.C. § 1818(c) (2) was initiated "only after" they obtained the protective order needed to safeguard the stability of the bank and privacy interests of its customers. Regardless of whether we accept the bank's version of the facts, or the newspapers' version (the protective order was issued simultaneously to the bank's filing), we do note that the bank placed significant reliance upon the protective order. Once placed in this position, only "extraordinary circumstances" or "compelling need" warrant the reversal of a protective order. FDIC v. Ernst & Ernst, 677 F.2d 230, 232 (2d Cir. 1982) ("Once a confidentiality order has been entered and relied upon, it can only be modified if an 'extraordinary circumstance' or 'compelling need' warrants the requested modification.") The particular facts of this case indicate no extraordinary circumstance or compelling need warranting this court's issuance of a writ of mandamus.
As stated in In Re Traffic Executive Ass'n-Eastern Railroads v. Long Island R.R. Co., 627 F.2d 631, 634 (2d Cir. 1980), " [t]his Court will not issue mandamus with respect to a discretionary order except in most extraordinary circumstances." See also Allied Chemical Corp. v. Daiflon, Inc., 449 U.S. 33, 35, 101 S. Ct. 188, 190, 66 L. Ed. 2d 193 (1980), In re Post Newsweek Stations, Michigan, Inc., 722 F.2d 325, 329-330 (6th Cir. 1983). Accordingly, we deny the newspaper's petition for a writ of mandamus.

Q: Open a Website url in new tab PHP I have the following PHP code
<?php
$q = rawurlencode($_POST["name"]); // input from textbox 1
$ft = $_POST["ftype"]; //input from textbox 2

That I want to open http://www.example.com/$ft%20$q in a new tab when the user clicks a button. Is this possible?
I already tried curl_init
$h = curl_init("http://www.example.com/$ft%20$q");
curl_exec($h);

but that did not achieve the desired results.
Could someone explain the proper way to open a new tab in the user's browser?

A: If you have POST data, then you have some form on the site, right? Then you can open it in a new tab like this:
HTML
<form id="form1" action="http://www.example.com/$ft%20$q" method="post" target="_blank">
   <input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
   <input type="text" id="ftype" name="ftype" />
   //submit
</form>

First ARSM exam in the world
A 15 year old student from Hong Kong studying in England has become the first candidate in the world to take ABRSM's brand new performance-only diploma.
First exam
The first ever ARSM (Associate of the Royal Schools of Music) exam was taken by boarding school student Vincent Wong at Sevenoaks School in Kent on 27 January 2017. Vincent received a merit for his viola performance. Michael Elliott, ABRSM's Chief Executive, recently presented the ARSM certificate to Vincent after his music lesson at Sevenoaks School. Michael Elliott, ABRSM Chief Executive, said "I was delighted to present Vincent with the first ever ARSM certificate and to congratulate him in person. His examiner was impressed with his well-balanced programme which played to his musical strengths and enthusiasms. "The ARSM is our first new assessment in 12 years and we are receiving positive feedback from teachers and candidates around the world who are looking for a challenge after grades and a meaningful goal to work towards." Vincent's teacher at Sevenoaks School, Robin Ashwell, said "I am extremely proud of Vincent's achievement in gaining the ARSM. Having taken Grade 8 before coming to study with me, we really needed something else to work towards in order to keep pushing Vincent towards higher levels. The ARSM was perfect for this, with challenging repertoire to choose from and a good programme length of half an hour. "Vincent rose to the challenge of the ARSM with vigour and zeal, reaching a level far higher than he would have otherwise, and to be receiving the first ARSM in the world is a huge thrill!" The new performance-only diploma was launched in August 2016 to provide learners with an opportunity to develop and demonstrate their performance skills after Grade 8.


Nine months ago, Emma Alcaster's older brother disappeared without a trace, leaving the entire world stumped and the sleepy town of Netherfield on edge.
Now a mysterious book called the Codex that was last in Eddie's possession has appeared before Emma. Certain that the Codex is the key to finding her brother, Emma and her best friends--Bea and Richie--embark on an adventure that leads them to the land of Biblios, where one can enter books and interact with fictional characters.
When Emma learns that Eddie is trapped inside one of these books, she uses the Codex and clues Eddie left behind to follow him and bring him home.
However, a dark evil lurks, and Emma's quest becomes more urgent as it is no longer only Eddie's life at stake anymore.

I moved to San Francisco to work with Meir full time and learn how to treat and help others. The purpose of these blogs are to share my journey of self-healing with others and show how you can improve your own vision!

2017 was an exciting year for the bigger players in the cloud hosting arena.
Both Linode and DigitalOcean upgraded their network capacity.
OVH opened new data centres in Germany and the UK.
Bytemark launched an automated backup service for their cloud server platform.
With all these improvements in cloud hosting, I thought it would be interesting to focus on a key metric of hosting providers that many overlook: network speed.
Most modern cloud hosting providers give your dedicated server or VPS a 100Mbps or 1Gbps network connection. But how close can you actually get to that speed?
The results table is shown below, sorted by the fastest average speed. Read on for more details and how the test was executed.
The winning cloud hosting provider and product based on network speed alone is: Memset OpenStack.
I've conducted this test using the same specification virtual/cloud server (or as close as I can get to being equal) with the cloud hosting providers below.
The test is a simple one: use cURL to download a large file (1GB) from a location on the public Internet to the server. The output was redirected to /dev/null to prevent disk I/O from influencing the results.
Some of the cloud hosting providers featured in the Great Big Cloud Hosting Speed Test, such as Linode and DigitalOcean, provide their own large file to test their network. To be fair to all providers, I have used an independent 1GB file provided by ThinkBroadband.
I repeated the test 3 times with a 1-minute gap between runs, and recorded each time. The average of all 3 runs gave the result.
Brightbox is a small outfit that host in Manchester, UK. They split services across 2 data centres that are linked by dark fibre. Customers can choose which data centre (zone) their services are located in.
Brightbox operates both IPv4 and IPv6 capability, although IPv6 appeared consistently slower.
Bytemark are another small outfit, employing around 40 people in York. However their size hasn't stopped them competing with the big players. In fact, it makes them more preferable because they are more attentive to customers.
Bytemark operate their own, purpose-built data centre in York. They are completely transparent about any fault or issue that may befall them.
They operate their own 10GB fibre "ring" between London, York, Leeds and Manchester. Their core network runs both IPv4 and IPv6 natively.
DO are one of the bigger players in the market. Funded by venture capital, they have built a platform that matches or exceeds competitors who have been around for years.
DO operate 12 data centres across the globe, which are now inter-connected using their own backbone network.
The most surprising result in the test came from Google. GCP is advertised as the cloud platform that utilises Google's core infrastructure.
With Google being such a giant in the tech industry, it is particularly surprising they don't yet fully support IPv6. GCP supports IPv6 terminated on load balancers, but not full IPv6 to and from the servers.
Additionally, the download speed of the servers is severely crippled, leaving GCP firmly at the bottom of the list.
Linode were one of the first companies specialising in Linux-only virtualisation. Since launching in 2003, they have expanded to 9 data centres across 3 continents.
In 2015, Linode were the subject of a massive DDoS attack. Following the attacks, Linode have overhauled their global network to give them more control of their bandwidth. The results are evident – Linode hold 2nd and 3rd place in my speed test.
Note: the third IPv6 download failed with a network time out, therefore the average is based on 2 results.
They are a small business based in Cranleigh, Surrey, set up in 2002. They were one of the first UK providers to bring VPS to the mass-market with their "miniserver" product.
I chose Memset as my preferred hosting provider in 2016 because of their forward-thinking and small-business approach.
If you're looking for hosting on a budget, look no further than OVH.
Using innovative solutions such as containerised data centres ("a data centre in a box"), OVH are able to offer significantly lower prices. My personal experience however, is that customer support isn't always top of their priority list.
OVH offers a public cloud built on OpenStack. Choose between France, Canada and now Germany, Poland or the UK.
Want to see another provider featured in the Great Big Cloud Speed Test? Get in touch and I'll see what I can do!
I conducted these tests in Jan 2018. The GCP test was set up the same as all the others – spin up a VM, apply all OS updates, reboot, then run the test 3 times, 1 minute apart.
Each time on GCP, I saw pitiful results. I will happily try again and see if things have improved since.
Weird. I have noticed GCP says we're in a Premium network somewhere; perhaps https://cloud.google.com/network-tiers/ is relevant.


As ALTERNATE aTTaX couldn't attend to Fusion.BET Masters Season 2 and to replace them their colleagues at EURONICS will be joining the Group B and they will face Tempo Storm in their first match.
EURONICS is progressing every match as the team is managing to achieve better tactics and the players individual level is also slowly growing, although in a slow pace, it's still progress and for a team like EURONICS it's very important so they won't stagnate in the low tier competition.
Tempo Storm in the other hand is having really mixed results. Although TS was able to win over 3DMAX in their last encounters, they still couldn't find any form or any consistence as 'fox', 'RpK' and 'innocence' performances aren't sufficiently good.
In this match, although Tempo Storm will be entering with a dominant mentality, we do believe that EURONICS will be closing the game as the winners. 'faveN' is a great player and 'kressy' and 'kzy' are especially good supporting factors to this team.

HMO market penetration and hospital cost inflation in California
Author(s): Robinson, James C
OBJECTIVE--Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) have stimulated price competition in California hospital markets since 1983, when the state legislature eliminated barriers to selective contracting by conventional health insurance plans. This study measures the impact of HMO-induced price competition on the rate of inflation in average cost per admission for 298 private, non-HMO hospitals between 1982 and 1988. DATA--HMO market penetration was calculated using discharge abstract data on insurance coverage, ZIP code of residence, and hospital of choice for 3.35 million patients in 1983 and 3.41 million patients in 1988. Data on hospital characteristics were obtained from the American Hospital Association and other sources.
-HMO coverage grew from an average of 8.3% of all admissions in local hospital markets in 1983 to 17.0% of all admissions in 1988. The average rate of growth in costs per admission between 1982 and 1988 was 9.4% lower in markets with relatively high HMO penetration compared with markets with relatively low HMO penetration (95% confidence interval, 5.2 to 13.8). Cost savings for these 298 hospitals are estimated at $1.04 billion for 1988. CONCLUSION--Price competition between HMOs and conventional health insurers can significantly reduce hospital cost inflation if legislative barriers to selective contracting are removed. The impact of competition in California was modest, however, when evaluated in terms of the 74.5% average rate of California hospital cost inflation during these years.

Paul had a deep abiding love for the church at Thessalonica. The new believers were developing in their faith and understanding of God's will. After a season of separation, Paul sent Timothy to reconnect with the congregation in order to strengthen and encourage them in the midst of their trials.
Living out the Christian faith in the sin dominating culture of Thessalonica was not easy. The believers were persecuted for their faith in Jesus. The magnetic pull of their former lifestyle continued to pull at them. The believers were unsettled by the persistence of their trials. Timothy invested time and energy in them to strengthen their faith and to encourage their faithfulness.
God does not intend for you to live the Christian life without His enablement. God has empowered you by the Person of the Holy Spirit living in you. Stand firm in your faith by surrendering to the control of the Holy Spirit. Allow Him to fuel your faith and to ignite your enthusiasm.
You need Christian friends to live the life God has for you in this fallen world. Don't fly solo! Don't try to accomplish God's will without the people God brings into your life to encourage you and to strengthen you. Remember, to have a friend, you need to be a friend. As you serve others, watch how God brings godly friends into your life to encourage you along the way.
Take a moment to list and thank God for the Christian friends He has brought into your life.

Monsta X - Peter Jackson's outrage at new Head Like a Hole Video.
Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit director Peter Jackson has today expressed outrage at local hard rock stalwarts Head Like A Hole after viewing their latest music video for the song Monsta X. Jackson says "these cunts have stolen all my secrets, you don't have to be particularly smart to see that many of the filming techniques are text book Jackson, textbook me. Frankly, I feel used, betrayed and angry. What is really worrying is that if these clowns can make a work of art like this, that let's face it - will be more popular than Rings and Hobbit put together, what's left for me and my career? I'm going down to the dole office this morning to sign on - I'm washed up, it's over". Head Like A Hole band spokesman Nigel "Booger" Beazley responded to Jackson's comments late yesterday by saying "If Pete's got a problem he should just, you know, give me a fuckin' call man... - fuckin' Hobbit was too long anyway bro. Pete's gotta realise three minutes and 19 seconds is plenty long enough for any movie. Get with the program ya rich cunt".

If you were saving up $2 a day for Viagra I reckon you'd call the place you kept the money a dickey bank rather than a piggy bank right? Save your money, look at Ran's bike and throw your dickey bank out the window. Does that sound hard? It will be.

Changi and the Shoehorn Sonata
Home Changi and the Shoehorn Sonata
Gordon's Will is the 2nd episode of a six part series called Changi. The story is of one mans struggle to overcome and survive life in a POW camp. Gordon uses flash backs to reconstruct the past for the audience. Gordon (in the present time) has suffered a stroke and is having major medical and family troubles. Most of the show is shot in the POW camp where the secret nine live, a group of Gordon's friends that are also being held captive and that have formed an unbreakable and special bond. Midway through the show Gordon is asked to salute lieutenant Aso. When Gordon refuses, Aso commands Gordon to stand on a box until he is ready to salute, Gordon still refuses and stands on the box for three days, this is an example of Gordon's will to survive Changi with respect.
There are many influential characters in Changi. 'The Secret nine' are a 'band of brothers' who without each other could not have emotionally survived the Changi POW camp. Gordon is the most influential character in the show, being that this episode is based on his time in the camp and life after it.
Changi needed to use alot of dialogue because it is a television program. Australian slang such as 'G, day', 'bloody hell', 'Japs' and 'stick ya bib in' is used regularly throughout the show. Japanese is used throughout Changi wich gives the show a sence of urgency and helps to establish the setting. In the opening title you hear soothing/melodic music with a sudden burst of screaming, crying and wailing, this is symbolic of the pain and suffering Gordon (and other POW captives) had top survive.
Changi is set around Gordon (an old man in the present and a young man in flashbacks). In the present Gordon is a lonely, old and sick man. In the Flashbacks Gordon was strong, stubborn, and willing to do anything in order to survive. The literal setting is a Japanese POW camp and a hospital, both places are symbolic of death.
Many different camera techniques are used to develop the theme in Changi. Extreme close ups are used mainly in Changi to show fear and desperation on a characters face. In the second half of the show an extreme close up is used, it focuses on sweat that is dropping from Gordon's head when he is standing on the box, this was to show Gordon's determination to survive.
On the Road to Gundagai is used as a theme song for the 'secret 9'. Music was a coping mechanism for Gordon and his fellow prisoners so as to survive imprisonment with a stable mind. On the road to Gundagai was used because a lot of Australian people know and recognise that song.
Both Changi and the Shoehorn Sonata have many similarities and many differences. In regards to the plot the Shoehorn Sonata and Changi are both about WW2 and being captured in a POW but are from two different perspective's (women's and men's). In regards to the characters in the texts both texts showed the main characters in the past and the present. In regards to the dialogue both texts use Japanese to give the show or play a sence of urgency and to define the setting clearly.
IN regards to the setting both texts are very different; one is set in a hospital and the POW camp and the other is set in a television studio and a hotel. In regards to photography both texts use images to provoke the audience into feeling for the characters. Being a television series Changi has used photography every second of the show but being a play photography was used sparingly, but was still present. In regards to music/songs The Shoehorn Sonata used songs with lyrics that were symbolic of survival and Changi used a popular Australian song to symbolise 'the secret 9's'will to survive.
This essay has shown the distinguishing features of episode 2 of the mini series Changi and The Shoehorn Sonata, it then compared and contrasted them. Both texts dealt with a common theme of survival.

I finally have a night to myself! To celebrate, I've spent it stress eating, watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Hulu (though I'm not discerning–I watch them all), and later, finally, grading some end-of-semester portfolios (womp womp). When I found out that my boo was going to be away for a few days–he's visiting his new niece (a redhead!)–I realized I would have an evening alone for the first time since…last weekend. I guess that wasn't so long ago, but for a person who thrives on alone time, I keep thinking I'll need more. Of course, wasting a bunch of time online and eating all the leftover pad thai and giant bowl of popcorn (with real butter!) gets old quickly.
When I got home from work, I promptly searched the house for some sort of "I love you" note, but found nothing. Hours later, I finally found the note, and now I miss him so bad and wonder why I ever have the stupid idea that I would ever enjoy an evening to myself! Okay, well, I'll still take a mani/pedi, Vogue, and Real Housewives night occasionally, but I'll miss him while he's away.
