Arthroscopic subacromial decompression results in normal shoulder function after two years in less than 50% of patients
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome two years after arthroscopic subacromial decompression using the Western Ontario Rotator-Cuff (WORC) index and a diagram-based questionnaire to self-assess active shoulder range of motion (ROM).
Methods: Outcomes in 80 patients with impingement of the shoulder undergoing arthroscopic subacromial decompression were prospectively assessed preoperatively, at three months and at two years post-operatively using the WORC index. All patients had received non-operative treatment for at least six months before undergoing surgery. Active range of motion was measured pre-operatively by the examining physician and at two years by the patient him-/herself using a diagram-based questionnaire to self-assess active shoulder ROM. A total of 75 patients (94%),
of whom 31 were women, completed the study. The median age was 56 years. In all, 31 patients had additional resection of the acromioclavicular joint.
Results: WORC scores improved significantly from pre-operatively (median: 1,392) to three months (median: 204) and two years post-operatively (median: 243) (p < 0.001).
A clinically significant decrease in the WORC index was observed in 83% of patients, but only 45% reported near normal or normal WORC scores, and 56% presented with a reduced active range of motion at two years.
Conclusion: Arthroscopic subacromial decompression appears effective in alleviating symptoms in patients with subacromial impingement who are resistant to conservative treatment, but can only be expected to restore normal shoulder function as measured by the WORC in less than 50% of the cases.

The subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) includes a number of pathological entities such as rotator cuff syndrome, tendonitis and bursitis in the shoulder [1]. Typical patient complaints include anterolateral shoulder pain worsened by active lifting of the arm into the impingement arc (60-120 degrees of abduction) [2]. Nocturnal pain is frequently reported [3]. A number of physical tests for SIS have been described. A positive Hawkins test combined with a positive painful arch sign and weakness in external rotation have been proposed as the best diagnostic combination [4], but probably the diagnosis should be supported by ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [5] and supplemented by a subacromial diagnostic blockade [2].
The accepted primary approach to treating SIS is conservative [6]. If clinical symptoms persist despite relevant conservative management for 6-12 months, surgical treatment is considered.
Long-term results of arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) have primarily been reported using combined subjective and objective assessment scores (UCLA or Insalata scores [7]). More recently, region-specific patient assessment scores (Constant-Murley or DASH score [7]) have been applied. The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) index was designed as a disease-specific self-reported health assessment questionnaire. It has been proven responsive to changes in rotator cuff disease [8-10] and has been considered a more precise tool than the region-specific questionnaires when measuring the treatment effect on rotator cuff disease [9].
We evaluated the effect of ASD and combined ASD and acromio-clavicular (AC) joint resection (ASD+ACJR) as measured by the WORC index in a series of patients pre-operatively and at three months and two years after the operative procedure. Furthermore, we recorded self-reported restriction in ROM two years post-operatively.
Between April 2006 and July 2008, 80 patients undergoing ASD at Aleris Hamlet Private Hospital, Denmark, and who were eligible were enrolled in the follow-up study.
Patients were eligible if they 1) presented with a positive impingement test [2], 2) experienced relief with a diagnostic sub-acromial blockade, and 3) had no full thickness rotator cuff tears on clinical examination or by MRI and/or sonography. Furthermore, at arthroscopy they should present with 4) a near full range of passive motion (max. 20 degrees of range of motion (ROM) deficit), 5) have no instability, and 6) no full thickness rotator cuff tears.
Conservative treatment (relevant physiotherapy and steroid injections) of at least six months' duration should have failed to relieve symptoms.
Concomitant acromio-clavicular joint resection (ACJR) was performed if 1) there was tenderness at the AC joint and/or pain from this joint on compression, and 2) radiological/MRI or sonographic evidence of degenerative AC joint disease.
The same experienced shoulder arthroscopist operated all patients. At surgery, a subacromial bursectomy, an acromioplasty and a transection of the coracoacromial ligament was performed through a posterior and a lateral approach. If an ACJR was included, this was done through an antero-medial portal.
All patients underwent a 3-6-month course of post-operative physiotherapy.
All patients completed the Danish version of the WORC score pre-operatively and three months post-operatively. After two years, they received the WORC score and a diagram-based questionnaire to assess active shoulder ROM [11].
The diagram-based questionnaire to self-assess active shoulder ROM was created and evaluated by Carter et al [11]. For both shoulders, flexion ROM is registered in five categories, external rotation ROM in four categories, and the ability to reach up the spine in four categories.
If patients did not respond to the letter, they were contacted by phone; and if they still did not wish to participate, they were excluded.
All follow-up was performed by an orthopaedic surgeon not otherwise involved in the treatment.
The primary outcome measures were considered to be change in total WORC over time and change in the WORC questions SP1 and SP2 (sharp pain, and constant nagging pain, respectively) over time. The secondary outcome measure was patient-recorded ROM deficits two years post-operatively.The following comparisons were planned: two-year post-operative total WORC results related to pre-operative total WORC score, age, workman's compensation, emotional WORC sub-score, and ROM restrictions.
Non-parametrical statistics was applied. WORC scores were compared using Friedman's test. Wilcoxon-Pratt rank sum test was used post-hoc to compare the results of two dependent groups. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
Correlations were performed using Spearman's test. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
Trial registration: not relevant.
A total of 80 consecutive patients were included. Five subjects did not complete the follow-up (94% follow-up). A total of 44 ASDs and 31 ASD+ACJRs were performed. The median age was 56 years (range: 40-81 years). In all, 31 patients were women, and 36 operations were performed on the non-dominant side.
The total WORC scores for ASD and ASD+ACJR groups improved significantly from pre-operatively to three months and two years after surgery (p < 0.001) . No significant change was seen when comparing results at three months and two years post-operatively
(Figure 1).
The WORC scores for the questions SP1 ("How much sharp pain do you experience in your shoulder?"), and SP2 ("How much constant, nagging pain do you experience in your shoulder?") for both ASD and ASD+ACJR groups improved significantly from pre-operatively to three months and two years after surgery (p < 0.001). No significant change was seen when comparing results at three months and two years post-operatively
(Figure 2).
We found no correlation between pre-operative and two-year post-operative total WORC scores (Figure 3). Note that five patients in both the ASD and the ASD+ACJR group had the same or worse total WORC scores when compared with pre-operative values.
We found no significant results when correlating the two-year post-operative WORC scores with patient age, pre-operative emotional WORC sub-score, the existence or absence of a worker's compensation issue, or the deficit in the ability to reach up the spine divided into four categories.
Pre-operatively, the primary examiner reported a loss of active shoulder flexion when compared with the contralateral side in 61 patients (75%) (a median active ROM of 135 degrees (range: 30-180 degrees)). A total
of 63 patients (79%) had an active abduction deficit (a median ROM of 135 degrees (range: 35-180)). In 57 patients (71%), a reduced active external rotation was
present (a median ROM of 60 degrees (range: 10-70
degrees)). In all, 36 patients (45%) presented with a
reduced ability to reach with their hand up along their spine to the same level as with the contralateral hand.
Overall, pre-operatively, 67 patients (84%) presented with a reduction in active ROM.
At the two-year follow-up, 15 patients (20%) reported a reduction in shoulder flexion compared with the contralateral side. A total of 29 patients (39%) reported a reduction in external shoulder rotation. In all, 29 patients (39%) had a decreased ability to reach as high up their back as when using the contralateral extremity.
Overall, two years post-operatively, 42 patients (56%) presented with a reduction in active ROM when compared with the opposite side. Nine patients (12%) had a reduction of more than one level.
We found a significant improvement in the WORC index 3 months after ASD and ASD+ACJR, and this improvement was maintained at follow-up two years post-operatively.
We chose the WORC index to monitor the effect of the surgical intervention as it is a disease-specific self-reported assessment questionnaire designed for rotator cuff pathology [8], and we expected it to be more responsive to treatment targeted at that entity than region-specific scores. There are diverging opinion as to whether this holds true [8-10], but recent results suggest that the WORC index is at least as responsive to changes in impingement symptoms as the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) [12].
The WORC index does not have categories for the improvement in scores (i.e. excellent, good); but if we applied the definitions of Kirkley et al [13] on our population, we had 29% excellent results (91-100% improvement), 16% very good (81-90%), 11% good (71-80%), 7% fair (61-70%), and 39% poor (≤ 60%). Those results correspond very well to those presented by Kirkley et al [13] and to those of Gleyze et al [14] as measured 6 months post-operatively, but they are not as high as those reported in previous studies [15]. This may be because we used a patient-derived, disease-specific quality-of-life questionnaire, whereas a number of other studies used mixed scoring systems or a satisfactory/unsatisfactory categorisation. On the other hand, this study included a low percentage of women (41%). There is a trend towards inferior results after subacromial decompression in women [16]; and if our material had included the common two thirds of women participation, this might have reduced our success rate even more.
Based on subacromial injections in impingement patients, Ekeberg et al [12] found the minimal clinically important change in WORC score to be approximately 22%. If this threshold is applied, 83% of the patients in this study experienced a clinically important improvement. It should, however, be noted that 10 patients (13%) had no better or even a worse WORC index scores at the two-year follow-up. As many different scoring systems have been applied to this group of patients, comparisons are, as mentioned above, difficult to perform. However, if we concentrate solely on changes in pain parameters, long-term visual analogue score (VAS) results can be compared. For the questions "How much sharp pain do you experience in your shoulder?" and "How much constant, nagging pain do you experience in your shoulder?" VAS scores dropped from 7 to 1 at two years after the operation. This corresponds to the results of Lunsjö et al [17] six years after subacromial decompression (VAS for pain from 6 to 1), to those of Ketola et al [18] (VAS from 6 to 2) two years after operation, and to those of Hoe-Hansen et al [16] (VAS 2) six years post-operatively.
We found no statistically significant connection between the two-year post-operative total WORC scores and patient age or workman's compensation issues. The reason may be that the patients included were health insured through the company they worked for. Therefore, the majority were in the age group 55 to 65 years, and a significant correlation with WORC results would thus be hard to find given the number of patients enrolled. Moreover, only four patients in the present group were involved in a workman's compensation case. Results from a public hospital could very well differ in this respect.
Using the ROM self-assessment questionnaire developed by Carter et al [11], we found a reduction in active ROM in 56% of our patients two years post-operatively when compared with the contralateral side. Prior to the operation, 84% of the patients experienced a reduction in active ROM as measured by a physician. These two figures are not readily comparable, and we would probably consider the physician-measured deficit more accurate. However, Carter et al found that their patients were able to properly quantify motion 85% of the time and that they were able to assess motion as impaired compared with the contralateral side 95% of the time. Thus, the self-assessment measurement seems to be a quite accurate instrument. Thus, the operative procedure and the post-operative rehabilitation protocol did seem to improve the patients' active shoulder ROM, but still did not result in a normal, active ROM in more than half of the patients. ROM per se is seldom reported in studies, but is most often part of combined objective and subjective scores (Constant or Neer score) or incorporated into a "disability" score or VAS scale measurement [18], but it must be considered a problem that so many patients end up with a reduced ROM. The method of self-assessed ROM limitation does, however, not offer an explanation as to this ROM deficit, primarily whether it is pain- or contracture-induced.
The major limitation of this study is the lack of a control group. Without a control group, we therefore cannot conclude that the improvement in WORC score post-operatively is the result of the operative procedure. As found by Haahr et al [19], Ketola et al [18], and Gebramariam et al [20], a well-structured rehabilitation programme alone might have yielded a comparable improvement. However, in the present study, subjects had all participated in physiotherapeutic rehabilitation programmes for at least 6 months, but still had very high WORC scores suggesting major disability. It seems improbable that a repetition of such a programme would have resulted in a comparable major WORC score reduction.
We found a significant improvement in WORC scores at three months and two years after arthroscopic subacromial decompression, and combined arthroscopic subacromial decompression and AC joint resection. However, 13% of the subjects had no better or even worse WORC index scores at the two-year follow-up, and 56% still suffered a ROM restriction at two years post-operatively. Based on our results, we believe that we can inform the patients who comply with our pre-operative definition for impingement syndrome that there is approx. an 80% chance of a noticeable improvement after ASD or ASD+ACJR and a chance of a very good or excellent shoulder status after 45% of the operations. However, a reduction in active ROM may be anticipated in 50-60% of the cases.

Travel To
Belize City is the major metropolis in Belize, which is a self-governing Commonwealth kingdom in Central America. It was the capital of the earlier British Honduras. The city is the major harbor and the industrial and financial hub of Central America. Several travel ships plunge anchor outside the harbor and local citizens tender them. On October 31, 1961, the city was destroyed when Hurricane Hattie swept the shoreline. The Belize City is served by an International Airport as well as by a Municipal Airport. People can book a flight from Belize City to visit the foreign countries through the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport. The Belize City Municipal Airport caters the traveling needs of people within the city.
Tourists can choose late November to mid-April as the best time to tour the Belize City. Even though it is a peak period and the city attracts thousands of visitors, addressing crowds is a simple forgo to make for clear skies, lukewarm temperatures, and trouble-free access to the leading attractions of the city. Therefore, people can book their flight to Belize City accordingly.
Ambergris Caye is an island that extends to the maximum distance of 25 miles. Here, tourists can involve in many outdoor activities according to their preferences. However, the island is the most sought-after tourist destination amid fearless divers and snorkelers.
Vacationers who would like to find out the magnificent antique stalactites by plunging into the profound blue hole, can book a flight to Belize City immediately. The 1000-year old Great Blue Hole is a worth visiting spot in the Belize City, where tourists can discover coral fringe.
Tourists can take a flight from Belize City to explore the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, which is not only oldest but the greatest barrier reef of the city. It is the most thickly inhabited aquatic region, occupying the vast area of three square miles. The reserve is a refuge for eels, stingrays, sharks, as well as for other marine creatures.
The Caye Caulker is a sun-soaked island, which is located 20 miles on the northern side of the Belize City. The island extends up to four miles, offering its visitors a tranquil tropical atmosphere. Tourists who are interested in snorkeling and diving can take a ticket to Belize City to visit this spot. Although the island is generally unoccupied by locals, tourists assemble in the island's shops, restaurants, and hotels to relax.
Tourists can take a flight from Belize City to travel to the western part of the Belize City to find out a group of very old Mayan sites in the Cayo District. They will also be amazed to see the beauty of stunning sunsets, rolling hills, serene butterfly gardens, as well as green jungles in the district.
Booking a flight from Belize City and visiting the Placencia Peninsula will allow tourists to enjoy the loveliness of nature reserves. They will feel immense pleasure in spending their time in serene seashores, crammed with crunching palm trees, light-colored villas, and tranquil Caribbean waters.

World Film Locations
Part of Intellect's World Film Locations series, World Film Locations: Helsinki explores the relationship between the city, cinema, and Finnish cultural history. Cinematic representations of Helsinki range from depictions of a northern periphery to a space of cosmopolitanism, from a touristic destination to a substitute for Moscow and St. Petersburg during the Cold War. The city also looks different depending on one's perspective, and World Film Locations: Helsinki illustrates this complexity by providing a visual collection of cinematic views of Helsinki.
This cinematic city is a collective work where individual pieces construct a whole, and one which we, as viewers, then shape according to our perspectives. The contributors emphasize the role of the city in identity and cultural politics throughout Finnish film history and its central role as the locus for negotiating Finland's globalization.
Pietari Kääpä is a research fellow in the School of Film and Television Studies at the University of Helsinki. He has published extensively on transnational Finnish cinema, including Directory of World Cinema:Finland. Silja Laine is a lecturer in landscape studies at the University of Turku, Finland.

Farmers' unity crucial to agriculture success –Chief Agricultural Officer
According to Braithwaite, the VI community in the past survived and thrived because of an inherent sense of unity, selflessness, cooperation, pure love of country, and plain common-sense.
"We effectively used the advantages intrinsic to a small community, instant communication, simplicity, and looking for one another," Braithwaite pointed out.
This year's week of activities is being observed under the theme, "Celebrating 20 years of BVI culture through agriculture" which wraps up with a Food Fair on February 17, 2012.
To this end, the Chief Agricultural Officer is of the view that farmers, united as associations, cooperatives, organizations will be able to import more cheaply, request more and better concessions from Government, attract profitable market access, and help build the institutions that are vital to developing an agricultural industry. The potential benefits are infinite, and the ultimate outcome will be self- reliance for our farmers in the VI.
He told a large crowd that "the process will take genuine effort on the part of many persons" but if the VI is to achieve significant food security, the farmers must be self- reliant to a meaningful extent and disclosed that his department – the Agriculture Department - is ready and willing to advise and guide farmers in the proper procedure and nuances.
Meanwhile, Braithwaite revealed that the department has made efforts in crucial areas with an eye to the future. He noted that the initiatives reflect the philosophy that guides the Department to focus on direction and quality.
These include: A livestock breeding programme involving the introduction of new more productive blood lines of sheep, goat, cattle, rabbits and pigs, which will provide fresh seed stock for livestock farmers.ii. Rehabilitation of the National Abattoir to ensure improved sanitation and facilitate meat inspection, certification and, wholesomeness for the consuming public. iii. Increased to a useful degree, the laboratory diagnostic capacity of the Veterinary Division in order to monitor animal and veterinary public health diseases of significance. iv. On-going discussions with the Department of Conservations and Fisheries on the VI's potential for fish and sea food farming. v. Strengthened the Dogs (Prevention of injury to Humans, Poultry and Livestock) Act, and increased the capacity of the BVI dog control campaign.
vi. And strengthened quarantine and border control to prevent the introduction of exotic disease of animal and human significance.

Romance Novel Memories, Plus a Reader Poll!

Romance Novel Memories, Plus a Reader Poll!
Do you remember the first romance novel you ever read, or even which romance story in a film, that made you 'swoon'?
As a child I'd always been swept away by the tales of Snow White, Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. And romantic comedy movies were wonderful! While I was growing up, I savored the Mary Anne/Logan couple dynamics in The Baby-Sitters Club book series.
Being a writer and a bookworm at heart, however, I must be true to my passion. The first romance novel I remember being simply thrilled with was Annette Curtis Klause's The Silver Kiss. I was browsing my library at school. I think was about twelve or thirteen. I had just finished two other reads, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (YA historical), and Say Goodnight, Gracie (YA fiction/drama).
I needed a change, something altogether different. And it worked well, since I've always been fascinated with the supernatural.
The Silver Kiss turned my fledgling romantic's heart on its axis. It was the first paranormal romance I ever encountered, even though the title was aimed at young adults.
Sa-wooon! The chemistry between Zoe and Simon is undeniable.
Do you remember the novel that made you rethink the whole romance genre?
I recall sneaking my mom's Harlequin books when she wasn't around. But the year I turned sixteen, we went on vacation to Tennessee. For the first time ever while I was on break then, we stayed in a fancy cabin and I had my own room. That evening, the writing observer in me couldn't leave the place alone. I just had to snoop! 😉
Lo and behold, there was a somewhat worn copy of Catherine Coulter's Devil's Embrace, tucked into a nook. I wasn't sure if the owners meant for an occupant to have a book to read while staying there, or if a previous tenant had left it behind. I was always a bit of a night owl, so I dove into uncharted waters. I wasn't disappointed!
Needless to say, as the novel was a true bodice ripper in style, it blew away all my expectations for a romance story. I never knew historicals could be so hot! ♥♥♥
Coulter is at fault, setting the stage for me to read slightly dark, racier reads later on. LOL.
So…what about you? Do you recall the romance books that first compelled and inspired you?
Let's take a poll. Your answers will probably be limited in the polls, but feel free to go into more detail in the comment thread below. Tell us your history as a romance reader! 🙂
Give us more info below…
Which romance novel did you first read, and where were you at the time? Same goes for the second question.
Which novel caused you to rethink the whole romance genre?
I look forward to your responses! 😀

I talk about my reading preferences on the I Love Romance Blog…
Here's a fun post for all. This is a Book Lovers Tag challenge. I came across this great tag over at D.G. Kaye Writer's blog, where she invited anyone to join in. I thought it would be exciting to jump into the challenge, as besides being an author, I love reading romance novels (hence the blog's namesake)! So, why not?
Do you have a specific place for reading?
Mostly, I read in bed, but now and then I cart one of my books to the living room or dining room and set up shop. And if I'm feeling really adventurous (this helps if we have pleasant weather, which is never a guarantee in Indiana), then I'll sit outside on the patio and read to my heart's content. 😉 Now and then, I actually read on the Kindle app on my tablet, but I'm more of a paperback/hardback kind of girl.

Gattimela 20 February 2020 Written Update: Sahithya And Amulya Have A Showdown
In the previous episode of Gattimela, Amulya feeds Vedanth and Sarthak. Sahithya who is sitting behind them is staring at her thinking why she is trying to get so close to Vedanth. Kanta, on the other hand, tells Sahithya who has ordered food for Vedanth, that he only eats homemade food and not any other cuisine other than Indian.
In this episode, Sahithya tells Amulya to stay away from him. She also tells her that she knows she is in love with him but should stop trying to get close to him. She begins to insult Amulya to her face telling her that she looks like a broomstick and dresses up like a villager. She also says that she should not have any hope that Vedanth will fall in love with her as he is so handsome and she is not even of the same status as he is. Amulya stops her from talking. She tells Sahithya that all this while she tried to stay away from Vedanth. But now for everything that she has said to her, she will make sure that she gets closer to Vedanth than before. Amulya challenges her to do whatever she can to stop her and walks away. Sahithya is furious.
At home, Suhsini tells Vedanth that Vikranth is upset for some reason and Adya, on the other hand, is calling her repeatedly to ask where Vedanth is. She tells them that the 3 of them should talk and sort out whatever problem there is. Vikranth tells Vedanth that he will not talk to Druva again or bring up his matters after which he goes to meet Aarthi.
He tells her that he is feeling uneasy about something and just wanted to meet her as it makes him feel better. The two have a romantic moment. Amulya calls Vedanth later that night to ask him why he called her a broomstick. He tells her that if she puts on a little more weight, she would look much better. The two also have a romantic moment while speaking.

Five reasons to invest in user testing (according to B Tognazzini):
- Problems are fixed before the product is shipped, not after.
- The team can concentrate on real problems, not imaginary ones.
- Engineers code instead of debating.
- Time to market is sharply reduced.
- Finally, upon first release, your sales department has a rock-solid design without having to pepper their pitches with how it will all actually work in release 1.1 or 2.0

- Movies
During the holiday season there can be a lot going on. Sometimes you just need a good movie to bring the family together. If you've burnt out watching "Elf" and "Miracle on 34th Street," we've got some of the best Christian movies for families. Between dramatic films and animated comedies, these Christian movies for families have what you need this Christmas. Here are some of our top suggestions.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"
Kids, grandparents, and everyone in between enjoy the works of C.S. Lewis. The most famous entry in the Chronicles of Narnia series is also one of the best Christian movies for families at Christmas time. Epic battles and talking creatures help convey the story of Jesus in a different way from most Christmas films. The film was the second most profitable at the domestic box office in 2005. It landed just between "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
"Let There Be Light"
For older audiences, "Let There Be Light" is a drama that preaches the value of trusting God and coming together as a family. A renowned atheist (Kevin Sorbo) survives a rough car accident where he sees a vision of his deceased son. This leads him to question the beliefs which have brought him a lucrative career. The film is a rather simple drama compared to some of the other Christian movies for families on our list, but fans of Sorbo will certainly enjoy it.
"I Can Only Imagine"
If you haven't already enjoyed "I Can Only Imagine," you may be the only one. The film made $83 million at the box office in spring 2018. The sixth most profitable Christian film of all time, "I Can Only Imagine" tells the personal story of MercyMe singer Bart Millard and his relationship with his father. Whether your family knows and loves the song by the same name, this film is one that will have everyone hooked by the time the credits roll.
"The Ultimate Gift"
Released only a few short months before "Facing the Giants" pumped some life into the Christian film genre, "The Ultimate Gift" tells the story of a spoiled heir who learns he must complete a series of challenges in order to inherit his grandfather's fortune. The film is more of a family film than a Christian one, but the values on display are a great example for viewers of all ages. Highlighting hard work, selflessness, and learning to do the right thing, "The Ultimate Gift" is a perfect watch for the Christmas season.
"The Christmas Candle"
From the mind of Max Lucado comes this Christmas story about a town where Christmas is a time for miracles, at least for whomever is awarded the Christmas candle. A new pastor comes into town and sees this annual festivity as a cheap parlor trick. He hopes to restore people's faith in God rather than some superstitious lottery system. "The Christmas Candle" is a period piece with all of the smalltown charm one would find in a Hallmark movie, making it a great choice for the family.
"Same Kind of Different As Me"
The holiday season, on a human level, is all about helping others and celebrating Christmas with those you care about. In "Same Kind of Different As Me," the protagonists (played by Oscar nominee Greg Kinnear and Oscar winner Renee Zellweger) decide to bring a homeless man (Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou) into their lives, forever changing how they go about their day to day lives. "Same Kind of Different as Me" is a heartwarming tale featuring a stellar cast you and your loved ones will cherish.
"The Star"
One of the most star-studded Christian movies for families is this animated film from 2017. Going somewhat beyond the account of Christ's birth in the gospel of Luke, "The Star" tells the story from the perspective of the many animals present in/around the time of His coming. The film is a humorous, fast-paced story that will teach kids certain aspects of the first Christmas while also delivering a fun movie. The successful animated film features voices from many talented individuals such as Christopher Plummer, Patricia Heaton, Zachary Levi, Steven Yeun, and Keegan-Michael Key.
"The Nativity Story"
If "The Star" seems a little too crazy for you, maybe you and the family will enjoy a more realistic take on the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. "The Nativity Story" is a drama that encapsulates all of the hardships faced by Jesus' earthly parents along the way to the manger where the birth was to take place. Although there is a fair bit of license taken in the storytelling, it's a rather faithful adaptation which will give you a new appreciation for the struggles faced by Mary and Joseph.
"Son of God"
Again we have a story straight from the Bible as one of the best Christian movies for families during the holiday season. The tenth highest grossing Christian film of all time, "Son of God" brings together the scenes concerning Jesus from the television miniseries "The Bible" for a feature presentation. Instead of only watching the birth of Jesus, why not get the full story with "Son of God?"
"It's a Wonderful Life" - Christian Movies for Families
We know A) you've probably already heard of or seen this film and B) it's not the most Biblically literate film of all time, but "It's a Wonderful Life" is a classic for a reason. The story revolves around a young, small town man (James Stewart) who wants to see the world, but discovers that God has other plans for him. The story is one which many can identify with: crushed dreams, finding love and family, choosing between fortune and doing what's right for your community. If you haven't seen the film before, this might just be the year for "It's a Wonderful Life."
"A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Last on our list of Christian movies for families during the holiday season is "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Sure, it's only about 25 minutes long, but this holiday tale packs a lot into that short running time. If you need something to entertain the little kids or if the grownups not cooking dinner need something quick to watch before the food is ready, this is a great option. At Christmas time, Charlie Brown has to find the true spirit of the season and dodge all of the commercialism threatening to destroy the holiday. The marquee moment for believers comes near the end of the film as Peanuts character Linus recites the account of Jesus' birth verbatim from Luke 2.
These Christian movies for families during the holiday season offer laughs, Biblical truth, and heartwarming stories for all. If you find yourself needing something to cheer you up or entertain a group of family members, these are some of the best options for Christian films.
The K-LOVE Fan Awards cares about Christian movies for families, but that is only one part of the entertainment we celebrate each and every year. Christian athletes, music, and books also leave an incredible impact on the Christian community and we want to recognize the artists and creators fans love. That's why we bring together the biggest names in the business and the most passionate fan base around for the most amazing musical event of the year.

Though there are all kinds of games available to play on Android and iOS from a casual game with one-tap control scheme to hardcore graphics intense games. There are games with console level graphics such as Asphalt 8 Airborne, Modern Combat 5 etc and there are small indie games.
All these games are fun to play but when it comes to mobile gaming, small casual games such as Candy Crush, Subway Surfer, Plants & Zombies etc make it to the top. The main reason behind the success of these games is a small size and the addictive nature. These games load very quickly and are simple to play but very challenging.
There is another genre which is quite popular these days and that is "Tower Defense Games". The reason behind such a huge popularity is their touch-friendly nature. Just like Endless runner games which can be played with just swipes or taps, tower defense games for Android & iOS are very touch friendly.

Best Tower Defense Games for Android Phones, iPhone and iPad
Defense Zone 2 Lite & HD
Defense Zone 2 HD is an excellent defense-centric game with realistic graphics and a modern military theme. It is a tower defense game you may find different than the rest of the games listed in this article. I have been looking for a game like this for some time and finally found this one.
Defense Zone offers quite immersive modern combat and has a lot of tactical depth to it. The game offers a large number of cool modern weapons such as cannons, missiles, grid missiles, turrets. You can also call in airstrikes if the enemies cannot be stopped by the weapons on the ground. There are just three levels in the Lite version, however, you can anytime upgrade to the full version to have access to more levels.
Toy Defense 3: Fantasy
Toy Defense 3: Fantasy is the third installment in the popular tower defense game series. Toy Defense 3 Fantasy is set in a medieval world. In Toy Defense 3 you won't be just building the towers, you will have to recruit and train warriors, elves, wizards, and healers to create a huge army.
A tower defense game isn't a tower defense if there are no towers involved so of course you also have to build towers. The ultimate goal is to defend your base against the enemy dragons and trolls in epic battles. There is a total of 96 exciting levels so the game will keep you occupied for a long period. There is also an online part of the game where you can compete in weekly tournaments with your friends.
Epic War TD 2
Epic War TD 2 is another cool and well-balanced tower defense game. The game is set in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic atmosphere which looks like a mix of Starcraft and Fallout. The game offers a good set of weapons in the form of 9 high-power towers and 2 mega towers.
The weapons are similar to what you may find in other tower defense games (Gatling gun, AoE flamethrower, Tesla and Laser etc.). You are required to earn stars to gradually unlock different weapons. Though most of the towers are set to auto-target, some advanced towers require player interaction. Overall the game is pretty interesting and will keep you playing for hours.
Element TD (Tower Defense)
Element TD is very strategic tower defense game where you make strategy based on elemental combinations. You can build different towers based on the elements you choose. There are 6 different elements i.e light, darkness, water, fire, nature and earth. Depending on the elements you choose, you can build 44 different towers with unique abilities.
There are many upgrade paths for each tower which result in 70 unique towers. There are different difficulty levels and 4 different modes. The game requires a lot of strategic thinking and is fun to play. I am sure you will like it.
Last Hope TD
Last Hope TD is an interesting tower defense game set in an open world in the post-apocalyptic era. The world has been destroyed by some calamity probably by a nuke or some deadly virus. There are very few lucky survivors left but they are also not so lucky. They are facing a war against zombies, scavenging raiders, and other threats.
The game offers a mix of powerful heroes and a wide variety of towers using which you have to kills hordes of attacking enemy forces. There are over 130 exciting levels challenging your strategy. Use a total of 6 special heroes and 12 different towers to defend your base. The best thing is that this game is free to play.
Jelly Defense
Jelly Defense is a gorgeous looking tower defense game with a very artistic atmosphere. The colorful towers and enemies look great on a monochromatic landscape. The rest of the game is pretty similar to other conventional tower defense games. You build different towers which fire on specific enemy types. The enemies try to reach an end goal, if they do so, you lose.
There are three kinds of towers Red, Blue, and hybrid. Red towers shoot only Red enemies, Blue towers shoot Blue enemies while hybrid towers shoot both Red and Blue Jellies. At the start of the game, you can only build hybrid towers. Each downed enemy will earn you coins using which you can build more towers. Though there is nothing special about the gameplay, it is the unique graphics that make the game interesting.
Anomaly Korea
Anomaly Korea is the latest installment of the popular Anomaly tower defense games series. If you thought that North Korea is the villain in this game, you thought wrong. Just like the previous games in the anomaly series, the villains are alien robots who have attacked Korea.
If you have played any of the previous Anomaly game, you will know that it is not exactly a tower defense game but a tower offense game. Your job is to lead a squad into fierce fire-fights and push back the alien invasion. There is also a tower defense version of this game available by the name Anomaly Defenders, that you should also want to check out. The other variants of this game, Anomaly 2 and Anomaly Warzone Earth are also worth checking out.
Field Runners 2
Field runners 2 to is a sequel to the popular tower defense game field runners. Field runners 2 is one those simple to play and hard to master games that will eat your soul. The control scheme is fairly simple and similar to many other tower defense games. To build a tower, just drag and drop it onto the desired location, tap a tower to upgrade it.
There are 25 levels with literally every game mode known to the genre. The game is so versatile we can't explain it in a single paragraph and we can't afford to make this page any longer than it is right now. Just try the game, you won't be disappointed.
Bloons TD 5
Bloons TD 5 is the fifth and latest installment in the Bloons TD series of tower defense games. It builds upon the success of the previous Bloons TD games, takes their best traits, improves on that and adds cool new features. Bloons TD 5 comes with 250 random missions plus 10 special missions to offer hours of challenging playtime.
Bloons TD 5 delivers excellence with 21 powerful towers with 2 upgrade paths, 50+ tracks, 10 special agents, 3 different modes and 3 difficulty settings. There is also two-play co-op play available on custom co-op tracks. If you are looking for an excellent generic tower defense game, Bloons TD 5 is what you should try.
Myth Defense 2
Note: Myth Defense 2 is not available for iPhone, it is Myth Defense HD
Myth Defense 2 as is obvious from the game is a classic tower defense game set in a mythical environment. The first version of Myth defense was the second tower defense game that I played in my life after Plants and Zombies 2 and it was the first tower defense game that I played on a smartphone. Myth Defense was the game that made me fall in love with tower defense games.
Myth Defense 2 is a big improvement over Myth Defense. One particular feature that I like in Myth Defense 2 is that you can fast forward a wave thus saving you a lot of time. There are 6 maps, 10 + 50 missions, and two modes: Normal and Heroic. There are 40 levels of difficulty, the higher the level, the greater the reward.
This concludes our list of the best tower defense games for Android & iOS. However, there are some other great tower defense games you should also check out like Sentinel 4: Dark Star, Kingdom Rush Frontiers, Radiant Defense etc.

Acrimony ~ False Vacuum (Self-Release)
Release Date: December 21, 2011
Insanely percussive and Djent is what defines the Bhopal based 4 piece Djent/Experimental/Progressive Metal band Acrimony. Finally False Vacuum is out. If you don't know the story by now, Acrimony is part of the newest wave of everything trendy called 'djent' with Progressive influences and finally giving us tinge of Indian Classical Style. According to the band, Progressive Metal best defines our approach towards our creations, but then there is the genre stretch we give to it, to include elements of ample other sub-genres of metal. With material of almost 30 min, we have 5 tracks on this E.P. which I personally feel is nothing short of a full fledged album.
You have to understand that Acrimony use polyrhythmic/metric, syncopated grooves and extremely dense melodic structure, using synthesizers and stratospheric vocals. This is basically what 'djent' is, but you can't ignore the way the composition is heavily progressive. Every band does it differently and Acrimony belongs to a different zone. This is what you expect when the members of the band share a common belief in "innovate what's in hand & invent what's not", so they kept digging & persevering until they could create something absolutely original and convincing enough.
E.P. starts off with "Showdown" which is a perfect way to begin the assault. It sets the tone for most of the other songs. I love how ambient and layered this band is. Bass solo towards the end and how song picks from towards the end is simply phenomenal. Guitar playing by Samar Mehdi is spot on. Second track "Recede to Death" is the longest track of the E.P. and one of the best tracks by the band. Amazing keys in the beginning set the tone and you can't ignore the fact, the way band is technically proficient, simply awesome.
One the similar note we have other three tracks with chugging rhythm and haunting clean riffs make their songs shine. Production takes the band to completely different level. From my first listen I was amazed by the production of this album. With the band having so many layers in their music, a bad production job could have ruined the album. Luckily the sound comes off the way music is meant to sound: pure and raw. The way band mixes their influences right from clean vocals to growls and riff's and drums just leave an impression that these guys are surely a band who can give a run for the money compared to other bands in the same zone.
I loved the way growls and clean vocals are fused. Mind you "Deceased" is a perfect closer. The entire E.P. may be one of the best pieces of progressive djent music ever recorded by any Indian band. The transitions are insane, and the bass just pounds through your speakers. The slap bass is also prominent in this track, highlighting the grooves during 'softer' sections. Vocal duo Gaurav and Dhairya roast their lungs out on this and at the same time give us chills with high-pitched variations. It's Samar who shines out among the rest with killer riff's and bone chilling synthesizers work.
Acrimony is loaded with musicians who are all very technically talented, progressively influenced and proficient at playing their instruments. Gaurav, the mastermind and one of the creators of the band, Samar, Dhairya and Yash are extremely gifted musicians who hit every note of each song with calculated accuracy. It's exceptional!! If you're a fan of the insane riffs, amazing vocals and progressive flashes of genius than False Vacuum is for you! I love it \m/

I have some of the best cousins in the world … and back in November of 2012, I bought some black and white Nike jackets for me and for three of my cousins at a Pittsburgh-area T.J. Maxx store. On Thanksgiving night back in 2012, I gave the jackets to two of my cousins … and they are Tom McCombs and Derek Papakie. We were able to wear them for a few minutes in front of our relatives back then. We even wore them on my front porch briefly.
Several weeks earlier, I saw a trailer for a movie called "The Watch" … and in some of the movie's scenes, the four characters were wearing matching jackets … and it partially inspired me to do something like this with my cousins on Thanksgiving night back in 2012.
I also bought a black and white Nike jacket for another one of my cousins as well … and his name is Andrew Suchan. I gave him the jacket back in February of 2013. We were also able to wear our jackets in front of my relatives for a few moments back then.
