Having a happy family, marriage and personal life takes work and balance. Lots of it …
My husband and I were so happy and carefree before children …
We took regular strolls hand-in-hand. Smashed many, many happy hours, followed by a quiet dinner. The weekends were magical days filled with whatever we wanted. We were so happy and madly in love.
And, then we had kids!
Holy crap, did our lives change the day we became parents. Especially our relationship.
We went from cuddling to trading off sleeping and feeding. Our social life fell in the toilet. Nightly strolls were replaced by tag team rounds of getting a crying baby to sleep. Date nights turned into cold takeout we ended up eating separately because our baby would inevitably wake up as soon as the food arrived.
Sex. Um … Well … Who has time for sex when you have a new baby?
Working partners
This sad cycle carried on for at least a year before I started to realise how far apart my husband and I had grown. During that first year, we were working partners. Our lives revolved around our baby and work. We were so exhausted, the thought of a conversation was just too much to deal with. The hubs turned to his computer during his free time, while I would blog and write my short stories.
Then, the bickering started. Of course, there was a fair amount during the first year, but that was more fear of screwing up our baby. The second year, we bickered more because we were miserable and annoyed with the current state of our relationship.
It felt like everything had changed, including us
The third year of our son's life, by far, was the most difficult. I said the word divorce twice. My husband threatened to move back to Australia. It was ugly. Too many heated conversations happened in earshot of our son. It was absolutely awful. We focused all our time and attention on our son and pretty much avoided each other.
I want to cry thinking about it. Which, I did a fair amount of too during those first three years. There were times, I really thought it was over.
I prayed and prayed. How could two people with the most magical story of meeting, who were so madly in love, turn into these miserable beings passing in the night?

A saving grace
The saving grace was that, for all our fighting and differences, we had a few happy moments in-between, loved each other very much, and most of all, our son was beautiful, happy and healthy. At least we were doing something right as a couple.
Then, four months ago, our son turned four years old. Almost like magic, he became more independent. He was able to dress, get his own water and snacks, use the bathroom and solo-play … He demanded much less of our time. Leaving my husband and I more time to work on us.
At first, when trying to work through differences, we bickered and talked at each other. It was clear, the last few years had taken its toll on our relationship. We were both angry and hurt. Essentially, we had put our relationship on the back burner. That being said, we never really had to 'work' at our relationship before becoming parents, so it was something we had to figure out. Together.
Our lives will never be the same as our pre-parent days
It took time, but we worked to re-open a line of communication, which, was essential. We agreed that we've both really sucked at being a couple, but that we were still super in love, so all was not lost. We both made an effort to talk, cuddle, find things we can enjoy doing together … And what's proved to be a game changer, a monthly date night to get away and reconnect.
Our lives will never be the same as our pre-parent days. Going through this, sometimes dark and sad process with my husband has taught me that having a happy family, marriage and personal life takes work and balance. Lots of it.
The key is to work on each, equally. The further things slide, the harder it is to pull them up again …

Marine Muscle Trooper Overview
Now, there are quite a lot of things that you need to take into account if you want to achieve a perfect and muscular body. A lot of people tend to believe that it's just a matter of hitting the gym really hard. The truth, however, is that working out is likely to be the easiest part of it all.
You see, our bodies produce a hormone called testosterone – surely, you've heard of it. When it comes to muscle growth in men, testosterone is the cornerstone of this process. However, certain natural processes as well as certain conditions could reduce the overall production of this hormone in your body.
This is the main reason for which as you grow older or as you get exposed to certain harmful health conditions, you might have to get additional nutrition and supplements to boost the production of testosterone. That's where the Marine Muscle Trooper comes into the picture.
Manufacturer's Information and Claims about Marine Muscle Trooper
The first thing that you need to understand is that this is a product which comes with a formula, supposedly based on a lot of scientific research. The products which are manufactured by the company called Wolfson Berg LTD and especially the Marine Muscle series are designated to provide you with a milder alternative to steroids.
It's claimed that the product is particularly prominent and it's going to provide you with strengthening, cutting and even bulking capabilities. Anyone who is fired up about the gym knows that these are the three main components when it comes to building the perfect body.
Active Key Ingredients
The ingredient list of the product is quite extensive and it contains prominent substances. Some of them include:
- Pure Tribulus Terrestris
- Fenugreek
- Other ingredients: Vitamin B6, D-AA, D-Aspartic Acid, Selenium, Panex Ginseng, Vitamin D3, Riboflavin (B2), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
Now, allegedly, the company takes into account the extensive research which is made on each of these substances and produces a powerful blend, stimulating the rapid testosterone production. Even though it's true that the clinical research done for each of these products can be checked out and examined, there is no research done on this specific combination. Surely enough this is the main reason for which the product is yet to obtain any FDA approvals.
The Advantages of Using Marine Muscle Trooper
There are quite a lot of claimed benefits when it comes to the Marine Muscle Trooper product. Some of them include:
- It may enhance strength and workout potential
- Getting rid of fat around the area of your chest
- Fat burning capabilities
- It may Enhance the vascularity when you are actually cutting
- Stimulates proper and lean muscle structure and others of the kind
The Disadvantages of Using Marine Muscle Trooper
- Not approved by the FDA
- May be too powerful for certain people
How Do I Use This Product?
Now, as it is recommended by the manufacturer, you should be taking no more than 3 or 4 pills a day. However, if you decide to go for more than one pill a day, it is highly advisable that you spread the intake throughout the entire day as opposed to taking them at once. This is rather important.
What are the Precautions When Using this Supplement?
It is absolutely unadvisable to take this supplement if you are undergoing any kind of medical condition. Before you decide to do so, you should first consult with your physician. Keep in mind that this is a very powerful product which is going to have an impact on your entire body.
How Long Before I See any Improvement?
Even though the results are fairly individual, it's safe to say that they are rather quick in effect. This is thanks to the prominent formula. However, they are also going to depend on the intensity of your workouts.
Possible Side Effects
The side-effects are rarely reported. However, fatigue as well as certain cardiovascular issues is also possible. This is the main reason for which you should make sure to consult your physician or nutritionist prior to starting the use of this product. This is something particularly important and it will ensure that everything is maintained as per the highest standards.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Police have arrested a 24-year-old Fort Collins man on an animal cruelty charge after they say he killed a cat in his home, and now they are investigating other reports of animals that have gone missing in that area to determine if they could be connected.
Officers were called out to Bryan Hackleman's home in the 2400 block of Stanford Road on a report of animal abuse Wednesday, and police said they found a dead cat inside his home with signs of abuse.
Hackleman, who has been a CSU graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, was arrested on a charge of aggravated animal cruelty, but was not charged in any other cases.
However, police say several other cats have gone missing in the area surrounding his home and they are asking anyone with further information about those disappearances or about Hackleman to call Detective Adam Braun at 970-221-6580 or Larimer County Crime Stoppers at 970-221-6868.
"We've received inquiries from people around Ft. Collins whose animals have gone missing," said Kate Kimble, a spokeswoman for Ft. Collins police. "This investigation is currently focused on the neighborhoods immediately surrounding Stanford Road."
Meanwhile, several stop signs in the neighborhood carry missing cat posters, including one for Cara Randa's cat Zappo.
"I thought it was raccoons. I thought it was foxes. I never suspected it to be a person," said Randa, who recently learned four cats have gone missing on her street. "Some of our neighbors actually saw somebody take a cat. He just drove up to a cat walking down the road and picked it up and threw it in his car."
Meanwhile, another neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, is encouraging neighbors to keep their pets inside.
"I honestly wouldn't let your animals out right now in this neighborhood," she said.

Doctor Who: The Whispering Forest - reviewed by Stephen Theaker
Whether Mertil was a true believer or a cynical manipulator of the belief of others I wasn't sure; each interpretation would make her actions and tone of voice at certain points a bit out of character. Also, I had a problem I often do with stories where the status quo is so badly out of balance, and yet the situation has persisted for a very long time. As Tegan says, "Things change around the Doctor", but they tend to change without him too, and it's hard to believe none of the humans have figured anything out for themselves. People brought up in a religion inevitably ask themselves at some point whether it's all made up; hard to believe people forced to scrub their skin raw wouldn't ever question its utility.
So it's a story that brings up some big questions, and as usual the Doctor helps everyone find the answers they need. As in the previous story, there's a big secret to be discovered, but the resolution of this one is not quite as satisfying, and the story as a whole is rather gruelling. One answer is given away a bit too early: what's up with Tegan? Be sure to skip the trailer for the following story, inconveniently placed before the first episode of this one. Then again, I missed the trailer, and so the answer to that question hit me with full, nightmarish force. You might want to avoid that experience..! Overall, a decent but not outstanding adventure - with an unforgettable ending.

What are the symptoms of RSV?
- Runny nose
- Coughing
- Sore throat
- Earache
- Fever
- Wheezing
- Decreased appetite
- Low energy
- Decreased interest in surrounds

A Case Report of Femoral Neck Fracture in an Elderly Patient Managed by Non-operative Korean Medical Treatment : 42 Months Follow-up
Article information
This report showed the clinical outcome of an elderly patient with a femoral neck fracture who was treated non-operatively with Korean medical treatment. The patient had acupuncture, herbal medication, moxibustion, and participated in physical rehabilitation for 3 months. The effects of Korean medical treatment were measured every 2 weeks using the numeric rating scale (NRS) and the Harris hip score (HHS). After treatments, the NRS score for hip pain decreased from 8 to 2, and the HHS increased from 0 to 43. A 42-month follow-up showed the patient's NRS score was 0 and the HHS was 61. Furthermore, an X-ray showed complete union of the femoral neck fracture with no suspicion of avascular necrosis. These results suggest that Korean medical treatment can effectively reduce pain and aid rehabilitation in patient with femoral neck fractures with no surgery, resulting in complete union of the fracture.
The femoral neck is an anatomical structure that receives high mechanical pressure due to the curvature of the proximal femur. So, it is not surprising that femoral neck fractures are common and account for about 50% of total hip fractures [1]. In younger patients, femoral neck fractures occur as a result of high energy trauma such as traffic accidents or falls, whilst in elderly patients, femoral neck fractures occur easily with low energy trauma due to decreased bone density [2]. Around the world, there has been an increasing incidence of hip fractures with each decade, primarily due to improved life expectancies. It is estimated that by 2050, about 6 million people will experience a hip fracture [3].
The routine management for femoral neck fractures is surgery but, in cases of medical contraindications or refusal of surgical treatment, non-operative treatment is performed [3].
Non-operative treatment has a high possibility of bony non-union or mal-union, medical complications, and mortality. Therefore, it is only considered for patients who are not able to move and have less pronounced pain. Precautionary measures should be taken during non-operative treatment to prevent bedsores, pneumonia, urinary tract infections and deep vein thrombosis [4,5]. There are case reports of non-operative treatment of femoral neck fractures [6,7] and a comparative study of non-operative treatment of femoral neck fractures with surgical treatment [8].
However, in Korea, these studies are limited. There are no studies on non-operative treatment in medicine, and only 1 case of femoral neck fracture in Korean traditional medicine were reported: a case report of a femoral neck fracture treated by Korean medical treatment without surgery [9].
This case report describes effective Korean medical treatment for femoral neck fracture in an elderly patient who had not surgery, and reports the complete union of the fracture site after 42 months.
Case Report
Chief complaint (Onset)
Right hip pain (19 May 2014)
Past History
Hypertension, osteoporosis, uterine myoma, degenerative arthritis in both knees
Present Illness
Pain in right hip began after falling out of bed on May 19, 2014. The patient visited the hospital and had an X-ray of the right hip. No abnormalities were observed. However, by May 22, 2014, the pain had become worse and prevented walking. On May 26, 2014, the patient visited the emergency room of a different hospital where a computed tomography (CT) scan was taken of the right pelvis. The diagnosis of the patient's condition was an intertrochanteric fracture of the right femoral neck that required surgery. The hospital strongly insisted that it should be operated, but the patient and her family refused surgery and opted for Korean medical treatment. The patient's first visit to our hospital was on May 26, 2014.
Duration of treatment
May 26, 2014 to August 28, 2014 (95 days of hospitalization).
Results of the CT scan (May 26, 2014) indicated an intertrochanteric fracture of the right femoral neck (Fig. 1).
Range of motion test
Range of motion (ROM) was not assessed because the patient had to be absolutely stable.
Acupuncture treatment [10]
The acupuncture needles were 0.25 * 30 mm stainless steel standardized, and disposable. (The Eastern acupuncture equipment manufacturer, Boryung, Korea) Acupuncture was administered at GB29, GB30, GB31, GB34, GB36, ST31, ST32 and tender points on tissues including biceps femoris, musculus quadriceps femoris, and musculus tensor fasciae latae, for 15 minutes twice a day.
Herbal medicine
The patient took herbal medication 3 times a day. The herbal medications were Moktongdaeantang-gamibang (MDT-gamibang) and Hyeongbangjiwhangtang-gamibang (HGT-gamibang) [11] (Table 1). MDT-gamibang was taken from May 26, 2014 to July 14, 2014 and HGT-gamibang was taken from July 15, 2014 to August 28, 2014. After discharge, the patient took more HGT-gamibang until December 15, 2014.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was applied using Auto TENS (Homerion HL-3, Japan) using the Auto 3 program, once a day, for 20 minutes, stimulating near to GB30.
Moxibustion treatment
The patient was treated with indirect loess moxibustion (HAITNUM CO.) once a day at CV12 and CV4 [10], and with indirect moxa cone moxibustion (Bongraissuk CO.) twice a day at the same site as the acupuncture sites in this study. In addition, following 6 weeks of hospitalization, the patient was treated with indirect moxibustion with moxa tube of bamboo (Ssuglove CO.) once a day at GB30 to reduce hip pain.
Numeric rating scale
The patient's pain was assessed every 2 weeks using the Numeric rating scale (NRS) [12]. A score of 0 indicated no pain and 10 indicated unacceptable pain.
Harris hip score
The Harris hip score (HHS) [13] was used to assess overall function of the patient's hip, condition, and ability to be active. This method is routinely used to evaluate improvements after hip surgery and includes a pain index, function index, deformity index, and ROM assessments.
The pain index is grouped according to the degree of pain, the effect on activities, and whether medication was taken.
The function index is composed of daily activities (stair use, using public transportation, sitting, and managing shoes and socks) and gait (limp, support needed, and walking distance).
The deformity index is assessed by limitation of flexion, abduction, and internal rotation, and difference in leg length. The ROM was evaluated for flexion, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation [13] (Appendix 1).
The HHS has a maximum of 100 points covering pain (1 item, 0–44 points), function (7 items, 0–47 points), absence of deformity (1 item, 4 points), and ROM (2 items, 5 points). A total score of 70 or less is regarded as poor hip function, 70-80 is fair, 80-90 is good, and 90 or more is excellent hip function [13].
Treatment progress (Figs. 2,3)
First day of hospitalization
At the time of admission, there was no pain at rest, but when the patient moved they suffered severe pain, their NRS score was 8, and their HHS was 0 for all indexes. Active ROM was not measured as the patient was advised not to move.
2 weeks of hospitalization
Following 2 weeks of hospitalization the patient's pain had decreased as shown by an NRS score of 6, and a HHS of 10, indicating improvements in pain index assessments. Ankle pumping exercises were performed to prevent weakening of the femoral muscle whilst maintaining restricted movement in bed.
4 weeks of hospitalization
After 4 weeks of hospitalization, the level of pain had decreased further and the patient's NRS score was 5, and the HHS was 21, with improvement in the pain index and active ROM increased by 30° in flexion and 5° in abduction. Manual raising of the right lower limb was performed to only 60°, the angle at which the patient complained of severe pain, to prevent contracture (20 repeats, 3 times a day).
6 weeks of hospitalization
The reduction in pain continued at 6 weeks of hospitalization and the patient's NRS score was 4, and the HHS was 23 with an active ROM increase by 80° in flexion and 15° in abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation. Continuous exercise was performed, and pain and ROM improved. The stability standard was reduced from absolute stable to stable.
8 weeks of hospitalization
At 8 weeks of hospitalization the gradual reduction in pain continued and the patient's NRS score was 3, and the HHS was 27, with the ROM increased by 110° in flexion. Sitting time at 8 weeks increased compared with at 7 weeks after hospitalization, with the patient able to sit for about 30 minutes in a high back chair.
10 weeks of hospitalization
The pain decreased by 10 weeks of hospitalization and the patient's NRS score was 2, and the HHS was 39, with improvement in the pain index, and sitting time increased to about 2 to 3 hours. In addition, manual right hip flexion exercises (20 repeats, 3 times a day) were started.
12 weeks of hospitalization
The pain remained at similar levels with a NRS score of 2, and an HHS of 43, with improvement in the function index. The patient started weight bearing exercises (about 10%-20% of the patient's total body weight, 5 times a day for about 1 minute). Sitting time also increased to about 6 to 7 hours a day.
Follow-up (Fig. 4)
The patient was re-admitted to our hospital 42 months after discharge (August 28, 2014) due to a general condition of deterioration (cold virus). At the time of re-admission, the patient was suffering from dizziness and a dull headache, and was using a wheelchair. According to the next of kin, and before the patient's general deterioration, the patient could not walk unaided because of pain in both knees. A chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly and pulmonary congestion, leading to shortness of breath which would have compounded the patient's inability to walk. At the time of re-admission, the patient's NRS score was 0 and their HHS was 61. An X-ray of the right hip showed arthritis, but there was complete union of the fracture sites and no suspicion of avascular necrosis (AVN).
The incidence of fracture of the femoral neck is increasing every year because of extended life expectancy, especially in elderly people and increased activity [2]. However, non-operative treatment of this type of fracture can causes severe complications such as AVN and non-union of the femoral head, so it is important to consider the treatments available, the patient's age and their expectations [4]. Among complications of femoral neck fractures, AVN can occur up to 11%-80%, and non-union can occur up to 30% [4].
The primary goal of femoral neck fracture treatment is to preserve the hip joint and to restore function to previous levels [4,14]. In most cases, surgery is performed. In younger patients, internal fixation is considered as the common surgical method, but in elderly patients, total hip replacement is a priority because of the risk of complications such as fixation failure and AVN of the femoral head [14]. However, the risk of surgery or total hip replacement, such as an increased operating time and bleeding volume, may be greater than internal fixation. In addition, postoperative complications such as dislocation, infection, and loosening of the fixation screw may occur, so careful consideration is necessary [15]. So, some practitioners advocate non-operative treatment [16,17].
In the classification of femoral neck fracture, the Garden classification is widely used to classify fracture according to the degree of dislocation of the femoral neck [4]. Type 1 is described as an undisplaced valgus impacted incomplete fracture. Type 2 is described as an undisplaced fracture. Type 3 is described as a partially displaced fracture. Type 4 is described as a totally displaced fracture [4]. Types 1 and 2 are generally accepted as stable fractures that can be treated non-operatively [6]. In a study, Shuqiange et al [6] investigated the prognosis of non-operative treatment of 115 patients with Garden Type 1 femoral neck fracture regardless of age. Secondary displacement occurred in 41% of the total patients, and among them, 60-80 years old was the most common age group to experience this condition. Faraj [7] reported that the mortality rate was not higher in the non-operative treatment of elderly patients aged 76-98 years with femoral neck fracture, compared with those who underwent surgery. In addition, Gregory et al [8] conducted a retrospective study to compare 1-year outcomes of 80 patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty and 22 patients who underwent non-operative treatment, among elderly patients (≥ 70 years old). The mortality rate and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade were observed. In the non-operative treatment group, the mortality rate reached 50% within 1 year. In the ASA grade, only 32% recovered to ≥ Grade 3 with limited activity, and about 5% reached ≥ Grade 2 with few restrictions on activity. In the surgical treatment group, the mortality rate was 29% within 1 year, and 38% in the case of ASA Grade 3 or higher.
In Korea, studies on non-operative treatment are insufficient. There have been no publications of non-operative treatment in medicine. In the case of Korean traditional medicine, there has been 1 case report by Kim et al [9] studying a femoral neck fracture in an elderly patient (91-year-old) that underwent non-operative Korean medical treatment for 7 months. In this study, the patient's HHS increased from 0 to 74, and their Visual Analog Scale score for hip pain decreased from 10 to 1.5.
In Korean traditional medicine, Dongeuibogam [18] explained that if a fracture occurs, the pain should be managed after conquering and fixation. The Taepyeonghyeminhwajegukbang [19] explained the treatment of fractures by trauma. The treatment of a fracture is mainly through the use of blood-activating and stasisdispelling medicine in the early stages. In the middle stages, when the bones are formed, herbal medicines are used to strengthen the bones and muscles, and in the latter stages, herbal medicines that tonify qi and blood are mainly used to promote recovery of function [20]. There were no books or studies describing femoral neck fracture or hip fracture. In a study by Kim et al [9], a femoral neck fracture was treated by prescribing Bojungikki-tang with Alismatis Rhizoma and Polyporus instead of blood-activating and stasis-dispelling medicine, because the patient was in poor general condition in the early stages of fracture. When the patient was in a good general condition and started to be rehabilitated, Sipjeondaebo-tang was prescribed to increase the bony union effect and tonify qi and blood.
In this current study, the patient was diagnosed with femoral neck fracture using a CT scan. The patient's femoral neck fracture was Garden Type 2, but it was unstable and may have caused dislocation or non-union. The patient was strongly advised to undergo surgery, but the patient wanted Korean medical treatment.
At the time of admission, the patient showed general condition deterioration presenting with severe lower limb edema and ileus and urinary disorders. In addition, the patient's heart was not in a good condition and consequently the patient suffered chest discomfort and occasional dizziness. Considering the history of the patient, the patient was judged to be a lesser yang person. Therefore, in order to improve general condition and help circulation in the body, MDT-gamibang was prescribed. MDT is considered as a representative herbal medication for lesser yang person's edema caused by the heat of chest [11]. Therefore, to remove the heat of chest MDT was used with Gypsum, Lycii Fructus, Bupleuri Radix and Gardeniae Fructus to lower the heat and Drynariae Rhizoma, Achyranthis Radix and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix to strengthen the bones and muscles. After the patient's general condition improved and the pain reduced, the patient took HGT-gamibang with Gypsum, Bupleuri Radix, Moutan Cortex and Lycii Radicis Cortex to increase physical strength.
The acupuncture treatment was performed on GB29, GB30, GB31, GB34, GB36, ST31 and ST 32 which unblocked the meridian and activated collaterals [10]. In addition, to control the pain generated during rehabilitation exercise, the tender points on biceps femoris, musculus quadriceps femoris, musculus tensor fasciae latae and those points supporting the anterior, posterior, and lateral of hip joint were also treated with acupuncture. In the rehabilitation exercise for femoral neck fracture, it was difficult to find a definite rehabilitation exercise protocol, and only study that it was good to start exercise as fast as possible was found [4].
In this study, the patient didn't do the rehabilitation exercise excessively, because the patient wasn't able to walk unaided due to lower limb edema and dizziness before the fracture. During the early stages of the fracture, the patient was absolutely stable. After 2 weeks of hospitalization, the pain began to decrease from NRS 8 to 6, and ankle pumping exercises were started to prevent femoral muscle weakness. After 4 weeks of hospitalization, when the pain alleviated and active ROM became possible, the right lower limb was manually raised to prevent the hip joint's contraction. After that, as ROM increased, the patient sat for longer periods. After 12 weeks of hospitalization, the patient's NRS score had significantly decreased, and weight bearing exercises of about 10%-20% were performed. The HHS increased from 0 at admission, to 43 points at discharge. The results from this study are higher than results reported by Kim et al [9]'s study in the same period, but it is difficult to compare directly.
In this study a case of Garden 2 femoral neck fracture was reported where the patient was treated with Korean medical treatment (without surgery) including acupuncture and herbal medication. The herbal medication was used to elevate the general condition of the patient and promote the union of the fracture. The acupuncture treatment controlled the hip pain and stimulated the surrounding muscles to maintain the muscle strength. In addition, the rehabilitation exercises were performed to recover the ROM of the hip joint.
After 3 months of hospitalization, the patient went home and continued weight bearing exercises at home so, the patient's general condition could gradually improve until she could walk independently. However, the patient's history of pain in both knees, dizziness, chest discomfort and shortness of breath also impacted on the patient's ability to walk.
The patient was readmitted to our hospital 42 months after the treatment for femoral neck fracture, their NRS score was 0 and the HHS was 61. This is a lower score than previously reported by Kim et al [9] where the HHS improved to 74 after 7 months of hospitalization. However, AVN occurred at 6 months post admission, whereas in this case AVN was not observed by X-ray taken at the time of re-admission, despite the patient's age. Furthermore, complete union of the fracture site was observed.
There are few studies about non-operative treatment of femoral neck fracture in Korea. Our study is the first case report for Korean medical treatment on a Garden 2 femoral neck fracture, showing effectiveness with the fracture completely healed 42 months later. This case is more meaningful because there was no report of complete union of the fracture in the previously published study.
There are several limitations to this study. This is a case report of 1 patient and there were other diseases affecting the patient's capacity to walk, so it was not easy to know the precise state of the patient. In addition, it was difficult to come to our hospital because the patient lived in another city. For this reason, we could not perform the intermediate evaluation until the patient visited our hospital 42 months later due to another disease, and we also did not follow-up the patient's condition. There was no report of the degree of union according to common non-operative treatment without Korean medical treatment, so comparison could not be made. And this study could not tell how well our treatment was appropriate for the condition of the patient. Therefore, postoperative rehabilitation or non-operative treatment of femoral neck fracture in Korea needs to be reported, and it is necessary to perform comparative studies between medicine and Korean traditional medicine.

[Both parts of this article - Part One and Part Two - have been adapted from an article titled "Who Are the Modern Day 'Tyrants'?" published in the June 2002 issue of John's monthly newsletter]
Back in the middle ages, royalty was assumed to be either divine or very well-connected to the Gods in what has become known as the "Divine Right of Kings." Kings and queens could do all sorts of nasty things and everyone excused it as "willed by the gods" or some such rationalization. This was the assumption everyone had grown up with. This assumption was passed on from one generation to the next, one century to the next, pretty much unchallenged. People went along with tyrannical behavior, social injustice, unfair application of the laws, and even tolerated absolute madness, assuming that this was the way it was supposed to be. No one questioned it. Then, one day, someone said – "hey, why are we going along with this?" (Thomas Paine and his crowd) and democracy was born.
Once this long-held assumption was questioned and perceived as having no real validity in fact, the divinely-endowed rights and privileges associated with royalty started becoming things of the past.
Today, we have a new class of privilege, a new group of tyrants who only possess the rights they hold because the rest of us allow them to by granting them the same sense of legitimacy that our forefathers and foremothers granted their royalty. Similar injustices and inequities exist in the world because a new generation of tyrants is being allowed to run roughshod over the vast majority. A new "madness" is being condoned by the masses who don't appear to be challenging the underlying assumption that this is "willed by the gods" and, thus, we think we have no power to change it.
Please notice that I did not say we don't have the power to change it – only that we think we don't. Also, let's see how "tyrant" is defined before we get too far into this. The dictionary defines tyrants as people who are unrestrained by law, who usurp sovereignty and are harsh users of power and authority.
So where do most of these "new" tyrants hang out? Where are most of them concentrated? Where does the most power appear to lie in these days of very complex systems in a globalized world?
We tend to think that the real power resides with our national leaders – like heads of state. Fewer of us realize that the real power these days lies with money and the system in which it functions. Students of systems thinking know that answers to questions in complex problems are rarely obvious.
The economic system has the greatest impact on global society than any other system in the world. Let's look at what players within the economic system are having the most negative influence. Who are the least restrained by law? Who are the harshest abusers of power? Who are the greatest usurpers of sovereignty?
Are they the Arab despots in the Middle East? The billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet or George Sorros? Hardly. They have too high a profile to dominate the system effectively. If you examined every group of people from the most disenfranchised people to the most opulently privileged, where would you find the ones who have the most negative global impact today?
The people who have most of the influence on the most influential system work behind the scenes, content to simply make scads of money while most of the public's attention focuses on the faux leaders - like politicians, celebrity activists, CEOs of the large multinational corporations, major investors, religious leaders, and prominent academicians. These modern day tyrants let the faux leaders get on the covers of the magazines and distract attention from them.
The tyrants of today are the people who are engaged in pure financial speculation, without having any loyalty to any person or any organization except making the most money in the shortest time. Traders are like casino gamblers, and their actions wouldn't be particularly harmful if the winners reaped the rewards from knowledgeable players – where all parties know the rules of the game they are playing.
Today's stock and option traders don't add any value except to make themselves more money. They "bet" on upswings in the so-called "market" which resembles a lottery more every day. Companies that do nothing but speculate are out to make as much money as possible without ever really "investing" in anything. Growing numbers of day traders speculate on short-term price fluctuations rather than longer term appreciation. Arbitrages, margins, caps, puts and calls fill their vocabulary, punctuated with Daisy Chains, Double Tops and Bottoms and Day Orders.
[To be continued……Next month I will continue this line of inquiry]

The herders after they were arrested by the police
The police in Bauchi has paraded three Fulani herders who took turns to sleep with a little girl.
The said incident it was gathered happened in Itas/Gadau LGA of the state.
While parading the boys at the State Police Command, on Wednesday, it was alleged that the suspects committed the offence on Friday, January 8, 2021 as was reported at the Divisional Police headquarters in Itas.
The Police told Journalists that the trio were arrested following the report lodged by the victim and her parents as she was able to identify the suspects.
Speaking to Journalists, each of them narrated the part played in committing the offence in what sent laughter to the months of all those that were there.
The main suspect, 15 years old Mamman Jauro, who is the eldest amongst them said: "I live in Itas/Gadau LGA, I am cattle rearer, I used to be a student of a Qur'anic school but I have stopped attending, now fully rearing cattle. I was brought here (Police Command headquarters) because I raped a girl."
Asked further, he said: "She is not my wife, we only saw her in the bush where we were rearing our cattle. Her name is Nasaiba but I don't know her before, I just heard her name when we got here, she is not Fulani but a Hausa girl, I don't her age too."
Mamman Jauro added; "I decided to rape her just because I had an orgy, I have been watching porn videos on my phone so I have been seeking for an opportunity to experiment, I also insert my penis into her mouth just as was done in the porn video I watched."
"I started enjoying the action when my friend pushed me away so that he too can have a taste. I regret my action and I will not repeat it again. I am begging for leniency," he pleaded.
Another of the suspects is Buba Abdu who is 14 years old said, "After Mamman finished, I took my own turn to violate the girl."
He narrated that, "I was together with Mamman, we raped the girl, Nasaiba in the bush in Itas. It was last week Friday. We saw them in the bush where she and her sisters went to pluck some fruits. We ran after them, while others escaped, she fell down and we took advantage to take turn but it was only two of us, the third person only held her while we violated her."
13 years old Buba Saleh said that he did not take part in the raping but, "I only held her for a little while to enable them (pointing to his friends) have their turns. We were arrested by the Police and brought here because we committed an offence of forced sex with a girl at a village called Dogon Awu in Itas/Gadau LGA."
Buba Saleh narrated that, "we were in the bush rearing our cattle when we saw six girls going back home, we chased them and in the process, the victim fell down while others escaped. I then pinned her down while Mamman was the first to rape her and also inserted his penis into her mouth."
"I held her by the hand for a while after which I left her and walked away from the scene. Thereafter I did not know what happened until we were arrested by the Police and brought to this place."

English Lads says: A day of many firsts for young straight and handsome lad Marco Braid as he experiences his first man wank and man suck, all in the same shoot! And it's lucky Dominic Moore who gets to play with Marco's long, thick uncut cock.
The pair have a natural and cheeky chemistry together and it's Marco who begins by exploring Dominic's toned, slender body before Dominic returns the favour. Before Dominic even gets Marco's jeans off, he's already on his knees and has Marco's big cock in his mouth and is sucking it really nicely.
The pair wank each other in many positions and Dominic just can't get enough of Marco's juicy cock in his mouth! The pair get cosy on the floor before they shoot their jizz all over each other.
Well done lads, that was one sticky, hot mess. We are really excited to see what you guys do together next time.

New Jersey business litigator Jay McDaniel wrote an article about the five biggest mistakes people make when they form an LLC. The mistakes are the same mistakes I caution people against constantly when I form LLCs and advise the owners of existing LLCs.
Jay McDaniel is a business litigator whose opinions are based on years of experience representing business owners in disputes that arise from the ownership of businesses. Jay wrote:
"Having litigated many of these matters over the years, I see the same mistakes made early in the life of the business surfacing again and again as the source of litigation."
McDaniel's point is that the failure to plan when companies are created can be a very expensive blunder when a dispute among owners arises. Even though I am not a litigator (I never personally represent anybody in litigation), my experience as an LLC attorney who has formed [ls_content_block id="54″] LLCs is the same as McDaniel's.
The list omits the mistake of not having an Operating Agreement. The following is what McDaniel says about the lack of an Operating Agreement:
"If a business does not have one, sooner or later, it will have problems and without any point of reference whatsoever, the probability of litigation is high. When that happens and the business is successful, the chances are that you will spend the price of a college education – at a nice private school – on the lawsuit.
Bottom Line: All multi-member LLCs must have a well-drafted Operating Agreement. Note I said "well-drafted" because a poorly worded Operating Agreement drafted by somebody who lacks LLC experience can be a bigger problem than no Operating Agreement.
Here's Jay McDaniel's list of the five biggest LLC formation mistakes (read the article to get the reasoning behind each mistake:
- No operational planning
- No contingency planning
- No valuation planning
- No succession planning
- No planning for amendments to the Operating Agreement.

Artistic Quality: 10
Sound Quality: 10
One of the things that those particularly fond of the Classical era in music love is the formality, the predictability, and the changes that can be made within that formal structure. It gives comfort, and one admires differentiations in orchestration, combinations of and the highlighting of instruments and tempos. And then we encounter CPE Bach, Johann Sebastian's second son, placed firmly in the Classical Era and almost impossible to second guess.
Just take the start of the CD–the symphony in D major. It begins with almost maliciously repeated stabs by the violins on D, then F-sharp, and then B, all while the other instruments toodle around the stabs. An entertaining allegro somehow grows out of it and at approximately the two-minute mark, the stabbing, starting on D but wandering elsewhere, returns, then more allegro and some wonderful play for the winds, and then the original stabs at around 3:50, which turns into a full-blown, good-natured allegro event for the whole band before weirding out about 30 seconds from the end by slowing down, entering another key, and melting into the Largo that follows. The calm, pastoral Largo lasts for 90 seconds and then plunges into the busy, presto finale. In 10-and-a-half minutes we've been on quite a journey.
These unexpected alterations in mood and tempo become trademarks, but "unexpected" remains the operative word: we know they will show up, but we never quite know when and where. The opening of the F major symphony is something Haydn or Mozart might have composed, but they would not have insisted on interjecting tiny episodes in another key; nor would they, 35 seconds from the end, leave a musical phrase in the middle to darken, shift keys and tempo at the same time, and transition into a very somber viola and cello introduction of the two-minute-long second movement, which then swiftly becomes a charming gigue in which we can practically see country bumpkins dancing about despite intrusions every so often of a note or three chugged out by the low strings.
You also notice his fondness for repeated notes on the strings, but they're invariably used differently–sometimes to comment, sometimes as a theme (the finale of the A major, which repeats a nice, simple swirling of strings as a main theme, gets punctuated by the stabs as it moves from key to key). And then there's the B minor, a study in solemnity for the first two movements, with a wild storm as a finale. I could go on, but you get the point: CPE may be stuck in an era, but he's in his own, excuse the expression, groove, and won't be boxed in. Always refreshing.
Rebecca Miller leads the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in fearless performances (at A=415, making the keys noted play at a half-tone lower than indicated), using everything from no vibrato to a throbbing warmth in middle movements. The strings are spectacular, at times playing with alarming speed and at others with comfort and tenderness; the winds, popping up all over, are just as good. The CD claims to have been recorded live, but there's not a peep from the audience. Play these a couple at a time–they look alike but each deserves scrutiny. Like chocolate truffles.

Supporting Imagery and Lidar in the ArcGIS platform has been around for a long time. In the ArcGIS Server Space, Image Server became available at 9.3.1. Since then it has evolved to Mosaic Datasets, Image Services, Raster Functions and now raster analytics. Now imagery is really an integral part of the ArcGIS platform. However, it is only as performant when the imagery is managed and configured optimally.
I often get asked,
- what format should I store my imagery in?,
- How many images can be in a Mosaic Dataset?
- How should I structure my imagery? and
- what is the maximum number of images per folder?
When answering these questions I have drawn on past experience and advice from Esri. Now though Esri have compiled all this information into an Excellent Centralised resource Imagery Workflows – Best Practices https://doc.arcgis.com/en/imagery/workflows/best-practices/what-are-best-practices.htm
In the Imagery formats and Performance section it details topics such as:
- File format suitability
- Recommended imagery formats
- Reformatting imagery
- Pyramids
- Statistics
- Working with large mosaics
- Storage system performance
If you're going to be managing imagery and lidar I recommend you reads these documents. They are comprehensive and invaluable. I must admit I have been doing this for 12 years now and there is information on Lidar management that I did not know about.
This is just one component of the ArcGIS Imagery Workflows documentation Esri has just produced.

Fishes, Ferdinand, and Flannelgraph Fun: Using Literature as an Intervention.
Turner, Barbara D.
School psychologists are seeking ways to expand their role in regular education, and to find new intervention techniques for working with at-risk and exceptional students. Literature may be used to introduce specific topics for discussion, to increase interest in reading for at-risk students, to build readiness skills, to reinforce classroom learning, or as a demonstration of techniques for the teacher. Literature applications may be used with whole classes, small groups, or one-on-one sessions. The 112 literary works in this annotated bibliography could serve as springboards for discussion of friendship, individual differences, problem-solving skills, social skills, and exploration of multicultural values. Each annotation provides a capsule plot synopsis for each work referenced, and many of the annotations briefly mention possible classroom applications for particular works. Annotations may also indicate if classroom learning can be enriched by introducing techniques such as flannelgraph, character dolls, storytelling gloves or puppets, or retelling stories from a different perspective. High interest writing assignments may be generated from the stories and activities. (TS)

Hey guys! It's time for Top Ten Tuesday, which is currently being run by the lovely Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl. We knew instantly that we wanted to take part in this weekly meme because both of us love making list, so this is perfect!
This week's (November 27, 2018) topic is: Platonic Relationships In Books. We decided to pick the topic: Best Friendships.
Since there are two of us running this blog (Melanie and Mireille), we're going to break these memes up between us and each pick five!
Harry, Hermione and Ron from The Harry Potter Series
I mean would this really be a friendship list without these three one it? There isn't a lot to say, despite them fighting from time to time – they'd do anything for each other and have had to prove it many times over.
The Whole Gang from The Lunar Chronicles
Yep, we are talking Cinder, Iko, Scarlett, Wolf, Cress, Thorne, Jacin, Winter and of course, Iko. Yes there are romances between many of these characters but it's the friendship among them all that is the most fun to watch evolve.
Kate Harker and August Flynn from This Savage Song
These two might not seem like an obvious choice since they start off not trusting each other and wanting the other dead. However, over time this friendship really evolves and becomes something really unique and strong. The fact that we have a young-adult novel where romance doesn't come into play really allowed this friendship to shine.
The Whole Gang from A Court of Mist and Fury
Yes, I have confessed my love for Maas more than once, so this shouldn't be a surprise. I live for scenes between Cass, Az, Amren and Morrigan. Perfection.
The Gang from The Wondla Series
This isn't a very well-known series in the YA community but it really deserves to be. The amazing friendships built within this trilogy is beautiful to watch. I'm so glad I discovered this one.
Mia and Mr. Kindly from Nevernight
I love these two together. The degree of banter between these two is amazing. I wish I could had a shadow cat to get me into trouble and make snarky remarks at me.
Simon Snow and Baz from Carry On
Ok ok this isn't a friendship per say, well they didn't start up as friends but their relationship is everything so I'm counting it. I am soooooo excited for Wayward Son, I know I still have a year to wait but I need more Simon and Baz in my life.
Squirrel Girl and Tippy Toe from Squirrel Girl
I'm still trying to find myself a squirrel sidekick. The closest I've gotten is naming the ones that live near me.
Merry and Pippin from Lord of the Rings
I have to admit this is one of the best friendship I can think of. I swear every time they have to split up I cry like a baby. I just adore these two hobbits and the friendship they have for each other and for the rest of the fellowship.
The Whole crew from Six of Crows
My heart fills with so much joy every time I think of these misfits. They are squad perfection in my opinion. I would love to be part of this crew and wreak havoc on Ketterdam. God! I'm hoping we get a reunion book.

Patron Testimonials
"Enclosed is a check for $50.00 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of when we first met at OMP!" — Dana Paxson and Fran Carlisi-Paxson
For a long time, I promised myself that when I was financially able, I would become an Off-Monroe Players patron, and I am happy to say that recently I did just that. I had several reasons for doing this:
I have been involved with "OMP" as a performer and director for many years now and it is an important part of my life, the source of much artistic satisfaction and many long-lasting friendships.
The operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan have been on my "cultural radar" since I was a high school student and I have never tired of them. They are a very important (and still entertaining) part of musical theater history, but fewer and fewer people seem to be aware of their work and its worth. I would like to do whatever I can to make as many people aware of them as possible, including young people interested in theater.
My initial patron contribution was specifically in memory of two longtime Off-Monroe Players members, Byron Wilmot and Bob Osgood. Their sudden passing was a shock to the group. At some point, I think they had been involved in every detail of putting on an OMP show, and their love of Gilbert and Sullivan, and their sense of community always seemed to me to represent the very best aspects of our group. I am very pleased and proud to help support OMP in their name.
I am a stay-at-home mother of two young children (ages two and one, respectively). My husband is fortunate enough to make a good enough living for us to get by on, but just barely. With the cost of daycare these days, we decided it was more feasible for our family to have me stay at home with our children, rather than work for the paycheck to simply go right back into daycare. We spend hundreds of dollars on diapers every month, and each pay period we're stretching our last dimes to make sure we have everything we might need for our family. We haven't seen a savings account in almost three years.
In this economy, it's evident that money doesn't grow on trees, and we're a prime example of a family that has had to cut down on excessive costs in order to stay afloat.
As members of Off-Monroe Players, both my husband and I have seen what it's like to be "behind the scenes." This group is full of fun, wacky people that know how to fully embrace diversity without judgement, and sing a few songs in the process. There are bonds created behind the curtain of the stage – a family born each season, with new members being welcomed home.
An OMP show is a rarity: It is free of charge to the audience. However, the money to support this goal of open access to the theater does cost money. We are OMP patrons, not because it looks good on tax returns, and certainly not because we have the extra money floating around in our wallets. We give because we want our children to grow up hearing and singing the songs of Arthur Sullivan, and reciting the witty banter of W.S. Gilbert. We give because we believe in exactly what Off-Monroe Players stands for; that every person, young and old, rich or destitute, should be allowed access to the theater, without having to worry about the price of the ticket. We feel that giving what we can to Off-Monroe Players is giving back to our friends and family. Support like this allows families to survive.
Very few things in life are free anymore, but a show from Off-Monroe Players still is, and the only reason they can still afford that luxury is because of donations given by patrons that believe in this group.
I am a patron. I am a believer.
I give because I know for sure that my money is going directly to the community. The community can participate in any of our shows or they can see them at no cost. I am pleased to be able to directly support the sharing of music to any and all who would have it.
My family and I are patrons of OMP because OMP is our family. After college I moved home and wanted to get involved in something in the Rochester theater community. The first show I saw was Pirates of Penzance and everyone seemed to be having so much fun that I wanted to be a part of it. During my first production (Ruddigore) I met my now best friend and then a year later met my husband through her. The inclusiveness and openness of OMP is unmatched by any theater or community organization I've ever been a part of. Money and time are always short in our lives right now but OMP is worth much more than we could ever give but we give what we can when we can.
I decided to become a patron because the Off Monroe Players gave me a safe place to re-ignite my interest in musical theater. OMP has also given me the opportunity to make friends and establish relationships that will last the rest of my life. Quite simply, OMP is my home and I want to support that in any way I can.
We give to OMP because we love to play with our friends. When you go out with a group of friends to see a movie, you don't expect your friends to pay for your ticket. Well, when OMP gets together to do what we love to do – Gilbert & Sullivan – there may not be dues or an admission fee, but it costs money. And we who love to act and sing and dance in these charming and funny shows get so much out of it. Each show gives us at least three months of rehearsals to play with our friends, plus the thrill of performing before appreciative audiences. Giving a few dollars to help make it possible is a satisfying way to support our friends and what we love to do together.
I'm a patron because of how much fun the group is. It's fun to do a show, and it's fun to see a show, and I want that fun to continue to be available to everyone.
I first joined OMP in 1981 and had the pleasure of working with OMP Founder Esther Vail. Esther said two things to me early on in the rehearsals that I will never forget so I pass them on as wisdom to other OMPers, on stage or off.
It's about having fun, and if we have a good show too...all the better!
God watches out for Off Monroe.
Two things that mean a lot to me and are part of the charm shall we say of OMP.
The esprit de corps that happens on stage and off means much to the cast and to the audience. That energy makes for great theatre, which OMP has consistently provided over the years. As for the provisions from the omnipotent, I believe that the energy and love for each other, the audience and Gilbert and Sullivan has kept OMP going and going and will keep on going. It may be cliché to "pay it forward" but I want future OMPers to have all the fun and joy that I have experienced.
A little story for the cause. When OMP was on the brink back in 1985 and we weren't sure if we could put on a show because we didn't have enough cast. Jimmie B Lobaugh showed up to play the Lord Chancellor. If we didn't have Pat Alexander to ask her friend Jimmie to stop by, we may not have kept on. Very often we do some little thing and it moves us forward, a new cast member, a donation from a patron, a mention in the press all of these little things add up. For the rest of my life I will never forget entering the sanctuary at New Life, OMP's home at the time, and seeing Jimmie B in silhouette a la Hitchcock. It's having a Jimmie B, a Devon, an Al, an Esther, a Patti; everyone makes a difference and time, talent and treasure all come together for Off Monroe!
Here's to another 40 years!
— Brian Smith
The simple reason that we are patrons is that OMP has provided us with so much. We have the opportunity to sing, dance, act, be silly, and be with friends. This is priceless and well worth any patron level. OMP has also been a major part of our kids' childhood. Both Dan and Stephanie will attest to the hours spent at OMP as audience members, house helpers, production staff, and finally on stage. Some of you may remember Dan working the lighting board or Stephanie helgrid-itemg people learn dance steps. What other group can you get your whole family involved in? You also never know who you will meet during rehearsals, a run of the show or grid-item at a cast party. How many OMP couples are there........including Dan and his wife Becca, who met during Hot Mikado as teenagers. By becoming patrons, we support what we enjoy doing and who we enjoy being with.

Hail is not unheard of in severe summertime thunderstorms. And yet you definitely don't expect a city in southwestern Mexico to be completely buried under multiple feet of ice in late June. "Incongruous" is a word that readily comes to mind!
From CNN:
Guadalajara had been enjoying a sweaty summer for the past few weeks until the weekend brought a shocking surprise.
The Mexican city woke up Sunday morning to more than 3 feet of ice in some areas after a heavy hailstorm swept through the region.
Now, that sounds like a lot. But the visuals are even more striking. Check out video footage of the ice below:
Climate change, anyone?
