The Aragon region is in the vanguard of R&D regarding the application of digital technologies to its cornerstone logistics, automotive and agribusiness industries. Capital city Zaragoza is home to a research centres such as the Technological Institute of Aragon (known as ITA Innova in Spanish) and Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC).
ITA Innova is located next to the University of Zaragoza's Ebro River campus on the northern outskirts of the city. This campus includes the university's faculty of engineering, which has a total of 6000 students. ITA Innova also has a second campus at Walqa Technological Park in the city of Huesca, 75 kilometres north-west of Zaragoza. The institute has an annual budget of €15m, and about 70% of its income comes from research work for SMEs across the world.
ITA Innova specialises in R&D in the following fields: nano materials (including composites), metals and paper; mechatronics (including robotics); big data and data analytics (including how artificial intelligence can be applied to logistics); and electromagnetism and power electronics (including how these technologies can be applied to electric vehicles).
It employs a total of 230 researchers, working on projects from companies in 13 countries, and it collaborates with about 250 universities, technological institutes and academic institutions around the world.
ZLC is currently located in the heart of Plaza, Zaragoza's logistics park – the biggest logistics centre in south-west Europe – but will move to a new location at Expo, closer to the city centre, later in 2018. It was established by the regional government of Aragon in 2003 in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Zaragoza.
Its mission is to create an international centre of excellence for research and education in logistics and supply chain management for students and executives. Currently it has four students studying for PhDs, 30 students on its masters of engineering in logistics and supply chain management programme (in English) and a further 40 students on its masters in supply chain management programme (in Spanish).
Decathlon has a logistics centre located at Plaza, which distributes 180 million units of sporting goods annually. This is one of Decathlon's main distribution centres in southern Europe and in the future it will distribute merchandise to France, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
"There are a number of factors that make Aragon attractive to foreign investors. Location is key. Land prices are also comparatively low. Excellent railway connections to Barcelona and even Paris are also important for us," says Mr Rovira.
Zaragoza is up to 26% cheaper than central Barcelona in terms of overall rental, transport and personnel costs and up to 23% cheaper than central Madrid, according to Aragon Exterior, the region's inward investment agency. The cost of renting a warehouse in Aragon is about €2 per square metre per month compared with up to €4.50 in central Madrid and €5.80 in central Barcelona.
Total labour costs in Aragon average €2575 a month, compared with €2828 in Barcelona and €3106 in Madrid. Office rentals are also cheaper in Zaragoza: €138 per square metre annually compared with €258 in Barcelona, €336 in Madrid and €770 in Paris.
Aragon has more than 50 incubators – including many in digital technology – and 420 technology start-ups. These include Libelium, a maker of sensors to connect to the cloud; Ebers, a producer of equipment for research in cell culture; and Epic Power, a maker of systems that recover, store and re-use electricity.
The region sees itself as a potential bridge between China and Latin America. Many global companies, including Chinese ones, already use its logistics platforms as a way of distributing physical goods to Latin America, but Aragon also has a key role to play in providing intangible services such as legal, accountancy, market research and digital consultancy to the continent's companies.
In June 2017, Chinese maritime company Cosco Shipping acquired a 51% stake in Noatum Port Holdings, the Spanish container terminals operator, for €203m (the remaining 49% is owned by institutional investors advised by JPMorgan). The purchase includes Noatum Rail Terminals Zaragoza (NRTZ), a rail yard company located at one of the most important intermodal rail hubs of the Spanish public rail network.
"We transport 30 million containers a year," says NRTZ director Carolina Gay. "Car parts and animal feeds are among the main products that we transport. We are very important to the logistics park at Plaza." China's interest in Aragon's logistics potential could facilitate the next step in the region's global ambitions.

Additional questions may be sent to but please only contact us after you have read the FAQ in full. Thank you.
1. For which age group should my child register?
**The Technical Development Program is substantially different from our Travel program. For more details on the TDP please click here.
2. Can my child "play up" to the next higher age group?
Since "birth year registration" splits up players who are in the same grade we will allow players to try out for the next higher age group (e.g. a player with a 2008 birthday can try out for 13U). However, the club suggests that families think carefully before doing this since a player that "plays up" will potentially be playing against children that are more than a year older. In general our recommendation is that most players should play for the age group listed in the table above (with the exception of players entering 8th grade who we discuss in detail below).
3. If my child wants to "play up", how should they register and try out?
A player that wants to play up should register and attend the tryout for the higher age group.
4. Can my child try out for two age groups (the regular age group and the "playing up" age group)?
5. If my child tries out for the higher age group and does not make a team, would they be considered for the regular age group?
This is a possibility but we cannot guarantee it. If a player is worried about the tryout process at the higher age group, we suggest that they try out for the regular age group instead.
6. How are you going to form 15U teams since only a small number of 8th graders have 2005 birthdays?
This is an issue that is faced by all clubs. We will address it by asking some players with 2006 birthdays to play on a U15 team.
7. How will 14U/15U tryouts and registration be structured?
We will have combined tryouts and registration for the 14U and 15U age groups.
8. Can a player entering 9th grade register for the 15U age group?
No. The High School soccer program operates on a different schedule and so we cannot accept registrations from rising 9th graders at this time.
9. If my child tries out for their regular age group, might they be asked to "play up" to the higher age group?
Other than for the 15U issue described above, we hope to avoid this since for most players we believe it is better if they play with their regular age group. However, due to the complications created by birth year registration, the club reserves the right to ask a player to play up even if they tried out for their regular age group.
10. My child has a late December birthday. Can they "play down" so as to be with most of the other players in their grade?
For Travel soccer this is not possible. New Jersey Youth Soccer strictly prohibits Travel players from playing down to a lower age group. There are no exceptions to this rule.
11. How big are the rosters for each age group?
The 8U TDP has a single roster and players rotate among teams from week to week. We expect the 7v7 age groups (9U-10U) to have rosters of size 12-14, the 9v9 age groups (11U-12U) to have rosters of size 13-16 and the 11v11 age groups (13U-15U) to have rosters of size 16-18.
12. How many teams do you expect to form for each age group/gender?
This depends on final registration numbers and on negotiations with the town (since we have to make sure there is enough field space for practices/games). However, for 9U-10U we expect to form 3 teams per gender in each age group. For 11U-12U we expect to form 2 Fall/Spring teams and 1 Fall-only team per gender in each age group. (Players on the Fall-only team will have many opportunities to "guest" on one of the other teams in the Spring.) For 13U-15U the roster sizes are larger and we typically form 1-2 teams per gender in each age group.
13. When will Travel team rosters be announced?
We expect to announce 10U-15U rosters by TBD, 2019 and 9U rosters in early May.
14. How much does the Travel program cost?
The registration fee collected by the Club is $330. Additional team fees of between $550-850 (amount varies based on factors such as how many practices, number of tournaments, number of players, etc.) will be collected by the team treasurer over the course of the year. Since our Club is a non-profit we can charge significantly less than for-profit soccer clubs (for-profit soccer clubs generally charge amounts between $2,000-3,000 for the season).
15. Why are you able to charge less than outside clubs?
Playing for an in-town non-profit club is cheaper than playing for an outside club for the following reasons.
We have no need to generate a profit.
Club and team organization is carried out by many volunteers who collectively donate 1000s of hours to the club. At for-profit clubs much of the organization is carried out by paid staff.
We can use the many fields in Chatham for a nominal fee per player.
Please note that the price differential does not reflect a difference in training. We hire professional trainers with the same licenses as the outside clubs.
16. What is the registration refund policy?
A full refund will be issued if a child registers then chooses not to attend tryouts, and informs Chatham United in writing 7 days before the first day of tryouts. If notification is less than 7 days, a refund minus the $40 tryout fee will be given.
A full refund of the registration fee (less the $40 tryout fee) will be issued in the event that a child attends tryouts but is either (A) not offered membership or (B) chooses to withdraw from consideration for membership before the refund deadline.
No refunds will be issued for any portions of fees after the refund deadline other than for medical reasons or relocation prior to the start of the fall season (as documented in writing to the Membership Committee) or in the case that the child is not offered membership.
The refund deadline for 9U is April 26, 2019 and the refund deadline for 10U-15U is May 17, 2019.
Fees are non-refundable in any portion, once the fall season commences, as defined by the first practice (usually held in the final week of August or the week preceding Labor Day).
Refunds will not be considered as a result of changes in the team placement of your child from the prior year or changes in trainers/training organizations from the prior year.
Refund requests may be sent to We would like to stress that the refund deadlines are for player-initiated withdrawal from the program. Any player that tries out but is not placed on a team will receive a refund of the registration fee (minus the $40 tryout fee), even though team announcements are after the refund deadline.
17. What forms do I need to submit with my registration and where do I send them?
Please see the detailed registration instructions for this information.
18. How is the 9U Travel program structured?
Since 9U is the first year of Travel soccer, Chatham United believes that it is important to have a consistent program across the age group. A detailed description of what 9U players and parents can expect can be found here.
19. What is the role of the tryouts?
For players new to CU, the tryout provides an opportunity for skill assessment versus other players in their age group, and will form the sole basis for assessing their skill and potential. The tryout results are compared against the evaluations of the other players, including those already playing with CU, to determine if he/she qualifies for a CU team.
Tryout evaluators are independent professionals, who are licensed to train soccer. Typically, the trainers hold licenses from US Soccer, or recognized English and Dutch training organizations. CU will make best efforts to ensure that these evaluators are not already affiliated with the club, so as to prevent potential bias in the process. Children will be identified only by number during the tryout process.
If necessary, the membership committee reserves the right to call back players they would like to have reevaluated. This may or may not involve having the player attend practice with a current Chatham United team.
20. How does the team formation process work?
For current Chatham United Travel players entering 10U-15U, a formula based on Current Trainer Evaluation (50%), Tryout Score (40%) and Current Parent Manager Feedback (10%) will be used to rank players and develop the teams. (The Tryout Score is also used to calibrate across different trainers and PMs.) For current 8U TDP players entering 9U or 10U, a formula based on Current Trainer Evaluation (60%) and Tryout Score (40%) will be used. For new players the Tryout Score will count for 100%.
21. Can I watch the tryouts?
For the consideration of all the players attending the tryouts, all parents must remain away from the fields while the tryout sessions are being conducted. Parental observation/involvement in any way during the tryout process may result in confusion for all children who are trying out and potential disruption for the tryout evaluators. At the indoor tryouts in Randolph parents may stay at the facility as long as they stay away from the field and do not watch the proceedings. For the outdoor tryouts we ask parents to drop off their child and then return at the end of the session.
22. Are walk-ins accepted at the day of the tryouts?
No walk-ins will be accepted on tryout day.
23. What should my child wear/bring to the tryout?
Please do not wear Chatham United or any other team uniform for the tryout. Cleats and shinguards are required. Bring a waterbottle. Do not bring a soccer ball, they will be provided.
24. If a player is not placed on a team after tryouts, do we refund the registration fee?
In line with the refund policy outlined above, if a player is not placed on a team after tryouts we refund the registration fee minus a $40 tryout fee.
25. What are the expectations and commitment required of a Chatham United player?
Chatham United is committed to player and team development. In order for each child to realize his/her full potential as a player and member of a team, commitment is required from both players and parents.
Player development and improved team play cannot occur if players and parents are not committed to participate in the activities of the team. If players miss practices, then team concepts cannot be reviewed and practiced to the benefit of the team.
26. What position will my child play?
At the younger ages, children should play some reasonable mix of offensive and defensive positions. In order for players to develop, CU does not want players below the 12U level constantly playing the same position. For the older age groups some players may start to find their best position and spend the majority of their playing time there.
27. Is it possible for my child to focus on goalkeeping?
For the 9U and 10U age groups CU believes that every player should spend some time in goal. For 11U and above players can try out for "designated goalkeeper" during the second tryout session. (Participation in the goalie drills at this tryout is entirely optional.) Players who are placed on a team as a designated goalkeeper should expect to spend the majority of their playing time in goal.
CU believes that developing goalkeepers is one of the best ways to improve team performance and so we offer free goalie training sessions to all our designated goalkeepers during the Fall.
28. When are the games/tournaments/practices?
Games are generally held on Sunday afternoons for ten weeks in the fall and ten weeks in the spring. In the fall, teams will typically practice twice each week; in the spring, practices are typically held once a week.
Each team is expected to participate in at least two tournaments in the Fall season, including a Labor Day or tune-up tournament. Labor Day or tune-up tournaments are the primary game experience used to get each team ready for Fall league play. Teams may play in additional tournaments and state cup competitions to be agreed upon in the parent team meetings.
29. How many minutes will my child play in a game?
Players at the 10U level and below have the expectation of playing at least 40% of each game. This does not mean that each player will receive equal playing time. Playing time above the minimum is at the discretion of the team's professional trainer, provided that the basic CU guidelines are met. Players at the 11U through 15U level have the reasonable expectation to play at least 33% of each game. Playing time at the 11U level and above will also be determined by participation in practices, player attitude and commitment.
30. Are parents required to volunteer their time if their child plays on a Chatham United team?
This is a volunteer organization run largely by parents. You will be expected to volunteer your time to the team and the Club and it is imperative that you do so when asked.
31. Are there any open volunteer positions available in Chatham United?
Each team is required to have a parent manager, an assistant parent manager, a treasurer and a team webmaster. Club volunteer positions can be found here.
32. What is your policy regarding "secondary carding" into Chatham United from another club?
In line with NJYS regulations, secondary carding is not allowed at 10U and below.
At the 11U-15U age levels, secondary carding from outside the club will only be allowed in exceptional circumstances and with prior approval of the Chatham United Board. In general this will only be allowed if an additional player is required to fill out the roster of a team (and hence no other Chatham United player is being displaced). We anticipate that this will only happen in rare circumstances.
Please note that the above policy does not affect secondary carding within Chatham United (i.e. between two CU teams). We shall continue to do that at 11U and above as one way to address turnout issues caused by multi-sport conflicts in the Spring.

Texas Sports Nation // Rockets
Rockets Jae'Sean Tate looks forward to defending Nets' Kevin Durant
Jonathan Feigen, Staff writer
Frank Franklin II/Associated Press
Though the Rockets will likely try to avoid leaving any of their players on an island against Kevin Durant and James Harden, they do have their top defensive players at the positions with the Nets' star scorers. The Nets go one-on-one more than any team in the league, and rank third in scoring efficiency in isolation.
While Eric Gordon will likely match up with Harden, second-year forward Jae'Sean Tate will likely get his first playing time against Durant, the NBA's leading scorer who missed both games against the Rockets last season.
"Any time you get to go out and compete against the best in the game, one of the best in the game, it's going to be awesome," Tate said. "It's great to be able to do it in front of a home crowd, on this (winning) streak as well.
"Just try to be as physical as I possibly can without getting in foul trouble and just contest his shots. He's going to make shots. That's why he is who he is. As long as I can continue to just be in front., that's all you can ask for."
The Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen discusses the Rockets' recent hot stretch following a 15-game losing streak and the tough games on this week's schedule. Video: Houston Chronicle
Tate will give up roughly six inches to Durant. But that is not unusual for a player that typically works as a power forward at 6-4.
"I faced a few guys who had me in weight and height," Tate said. "Try not to allow him to get too deep in the post, try to be physical, push him off the block a little bit or push him out of his sweet spots and just use my quickness to an advantage."

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
If after running these your admin and front end stop showing images and CSS, then run
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
After this I was able to successfully create configurable products in the admin backend. Please let me know if this solution works for you.

Orlando is a bustling place brimming with attractions and getting around the area can be much easier with a little knowledge. There are many options available including car hire, buses, taxis and even rickshaw rides and Harley Davidson rentals! The accepted idea is if you wish to visit attractions that are outside Walt Disney World you will need to use other forms of transport, but if your vacation is based on the Disney Complex, you can take advantage of its own transport provision: an extensive and free transport service connecting its resorts and parks, with unlimited use for guests. The service runs throughout the day and often into the night and comprises ferry, monorail, water taxi and bus.
Many hotels outside the park offer their guests a complementary or paid shuttle service to Walt Disney World and other attractions, so check with hotels before making a booking. Whether you are staying at the park or at an external hotel, always ask reception staff for the quickest route to your destination to ensure you spend minimal time traveling and more time having fun!
Attractions outside the Disney complex include International Drive (known in the area as I-Drive), Universal and Sea World. There are several bus companies servicing this area including the I-Ride Trolley that travels around the I-Drive resort area. The buses run every 20 minutes between the shopping outlets at the north end of I-Drive and Sea World at the south end. LYNX buses are operated by the city and cover a wider area around I-Drive including all the major attractions. These buses are inexpensive to use but do not extend to some villa complexes where tourists often stay.
If you like the idea of cruising down I-Drive on a Harley Davidson there are several retailers offering motorcycle rental. It`s necessary to show a credit card, valid motorcycle license and be at least 21 years old to hire a bike. Car rental is also a popular way to get around Orlando and most major rental companies are based within the airport for your convenience. If your itinerary includes visits to different attractions, boutique areas and late-night shows, a car will prove invaluable and can work out less costly and more convenient than taxi and bus rides. Be prepared to stop at frequent toll booths during your travels by having plenty of spare change ready and remember that rush hour traffic happens 7 days a week in this busy area.
Novel ways of getting around downtown Orlando include rickshaw rides and horse-drawn carriages. You can hail a rickshaw just like a taxi in the street and the rides are often free, although it is customary to tip the driver as a sign of gratitude. Horse-drawn carriages are an enjoyable way to experience traveling downtown, whether it`s a romantic trip for 2 or a fun family outing.
Whichever way you choose to get around Orlando, one great tip is to keep an up-to-date map with you to help with navigation. There are so many ways to enjoy the attractions in this area it all becomes part of the fun! With lots of holiday deals available, you can be sure to find something to suit your interests and budget for a fantastic vacation in the Sunshine State. See you soon!


Many land-based casinos have started over the last few years to introduce a greater range of side bets as a way of enticing more players to blackjack tables and offer a more immersive playing environment. As this approach has also become a successful part of online casinos we thought we'd take a look at the thoughts behind side bets at physical casinos but also as part of live dealer blackjack online.
There is a different house edge for different side bets, depending on the payoff schedule, and though some side bets in live blackjack do have high house edges, there is plenty of option open to you. So, have some fun and keep an eye out for side bets with the lowest house edge.
If you are looking for some popular online side bets at a live dealer blackjack game, you can find the following side bets at all Evolution Gaming tables, as well as Lucky Streak, Visionary iGaming, PlayTech and Ezugi.
This side bet is based on the very first two cards that the player is dealt, alongside the dealer's upcard. The player wins if the three cards form a flush, straight, straight flush, or three-of-a-kind. Originally the 21+3 side bet was a 9:1 standout for winning hands (with a house edge of 3.24%), but in modern tables you'll find greater volatility and a higher house edge. There are many variations in house edges relating to 21+3 around the world, from 2.78% up to 13.39%, and the payouts will range according to what hand you receive. Theoretically the return to player is 95.38%.
This optional side bet offers blackjack players the choice on whether or not their two cards will be paired. This bet is placed alongside the player's first wager and relates to the first two cards received. The pairing could be matched suits, matched colours, or matched ranks, each with a different payout and odds, ranging from 5:1 for a mixed pair of matched ranks, up to 25:1 for a perfect pair of matched suits. The return to player on a Perfect Pairs side bet is theoretically 95.82%.
The following two side bets are currently available at the BetConstruct Blackjack offering, but we expect them to become available at other venues soon.
The Honey Bonus works in the same way as the 21+3 side bet. The player wins when the dealer's up card and the player's first two cards form a 3-card Poker hand. The difference is that you also win when the two initial cards of yours make up a Blackjack of the same suit. Another difference is a reduced payout for three of a kind that pays 20 to 1 instead of 30 to 1.
Dedicated tables including the unique Silent Live Blackjack.
Over 100 blackjack tables to choose from provided by 8 vendors.
Hassle free withdrawals with high limits.
A Lucky 7 side bet wins if a player's first card is a 7, and is then followed up by successive 7s when the next cards are drawn. The top payout of 500 to 1 is earned by getting three sevens of the same suit. The bet outcome is calculated from the two player cards plus the first dealer card dealt.
The bet behind option was a real enhancement to the live dealer blackjack experience at an online casino. It allows for unlimited players to join a live game, utilising the 'bet behind' option if all seven seats at the table are occupied. It adds to the excitement for players, adds to the revenue with multi-player betting and offers unlimited options to players who can bet behind multiple seats at any given time.
The insurance bet is an option for players when a dealer has an Ace as an upcard and could have a blackjack. This separate insurance wager is equal to half of the initial bet. If the down card is a 10, Jack, Queen or King, meaning a blackjack for the dealer, the player is paid at 2:1 odds. If the downcard is of a lesser value, the dealer collects the insurance bet from the player.
Royal Match – Offered as part of single-deck and multi-deck blackjack tables. When making the side bet as part of a multi-deck game the player will win if the first two cards dealt are suited. Winning are 5:2 for an Easy Match (2 suited cards), 25:1 for a Royal Match (a suited King and Queen) and a 5:1 payoff for a suited blackjack. Single-deck game the payoffs are 3:1 for an Easy Match, 10:1 for a Royal Match, with a house edge of 3.8% compared with 3.7% house edge on the multi-deck version.
Over/Under 13 – This blackjack side bet is placed by the player at the time of the initial wager and relates to whether they think the first two cards will add up to a total higher or lower than 13. It is usually offered on six and eight-deck games. A total of 13 will always lose, with the Ace counting as 1. A wager of Over 13 has a house edge of 6.5%, and the Under 13 is 10%.
Super Sevens – The Lucky 7s live dealer blackjack bet above comes from the Super Sevens found at physical casinos. Players win higher payouts the higher the number of successive 7s that are dealt. If the first two cards dealt are 7s the payout is 50:1 for unsuited cards or 100"1 for suited. A third unsuited 7 brings with it a payout of 500:1 and a whopping high payout of 5,000:1 for a suited third 7.
Lucky Ladies – Players wagering on the Lucky Ladies side bet are hoping that the first two dealt cards total 20, and that they are both Queens. The top payout for Lucky Ladies is 1,000:1 if you are dealt two Queen of Hearts and the dealer has a blackjack. There is of course a staggered payout depending on the cards dealt, from 4:1 for any unsuited 20, 10:1 for a suited 20 and any two Queens bringing a payout of 200:1.
Pair Square – For this side bet a player will win if the first two cards are the same rank. So, for instance, if both cards give you a pair of 5s. The house edge is 10.6%, and payouts rank from 10:1 for an unmatched pair, to 15:1 for a matched pair (a pair of clubs).
As an optional side bet the player can wager for a progressive jackpot. For example you may wish to wager £1 with a chance to have a tiny chance of winning a large amount of money. As with other progressive games, the higher the number of players, and the more tables that are linked to the progressive jackpot, the higher the potential winnings.
Within physical casinos there has been the chance to win big with progressive jackpot side bets. In fact, in the States there was a player who won over $1 million in two hours, despite starting with just a $5 bet on a progressive jackpot.
Progressive side bets for blackjack will soon make their way into the live dealer blackjack games online so it will benefit you to have a brief understanding.
Currently PlayTech has an RNG version with a progressive jackpot that often exceeds £500,000 in value.

Q: Find the average overall We have a debtor table with a field average days to pay. that is, the average number of days the debtor takes to pay an invoice.
If I want to know whether the average days to pay overall is increasing or decreasing how would I calculate that?
At first I thought it was simply sum(AverageDaysToPay) / NumberOfDebtors but this seems wrong.
Thanks in advance.


Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism controlled by the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The 24 bones of the spine, or vertebrae, surround and protect the spinal cord and nerves. When misaligned, or subluxated, the vertebrae can interfere with the nervous system, causing pain and dysfunction. As Tucson chiropractors, our objective is to analyze the spine, locate and correct these vertebral subluxations. The chiropractic method of correction is by specific adjustments of the spine, which are intended to correct vertebral subluxations over time, thereby allowing the innate (inborn) healing abilities of the body to work at maximum efficiency.
Chiropractors are trained to ensure your nervous system is free of spinal nerve interference. We believe in whole body wellness. Your Tucson AZ Chiropractor, Dr. Harrigan, Chiropractic Physician will discover any spinal nerve interference within your spinal column and with specific chiropractic adjustments, will correct them. Your body will then be free to heal itself, express itself more fully and function at an optimal level. Dr. Harrigan, Chiropractic Physician will also educate you how you can live "subluxation-free" which will prevent you from re-creating the same problems over and over. This is achieved through better posture (during work, sleep, sitting, etc.), diet and nutrition, outlook on life, stretching, exercise and rest leading to a higher quality of life.
Chiropractors do not cure disease nor treat specific conditions. Chiropractors remove interference in the nervous system by adjusting vertebral subluxations. When your nervous system is functioning properly, the body is allowed to innately heal itself more effectively. Chiropractors do not chase symptoms! They look for and treat the causes of these symptoms so the symptoms do not return. From prenatal care to sports injuries, Dr. Harrigan, Chiropractic Physician's goal is always the same — to allow the body to heal itself and function more efficiently by adjusting spinal subluxations (nerve interference).
Do you have to be a certain age to see a Chiropractor?
From newborns to senior citizens, chiropractic is absolutely safe as well as effective. Each and every person is unique and requires a different course of care. Synergy Wellness will design a natural health care program specific to your age, lifestyle and condition. Dr. Harrigan, Chiropractic Physician has safely adjusted newborns just minutes after birth! We have a family practice that helps guide the entire family to better health and wellness. We have had four generations of one family in our adjusting room!
What is the difference between a Chiropractic Adjustment and a Manipulation?
There is a difference between spinal manipulation and an adjustment. Spinal manipulation is defined as the forceful passive movement of a joint beyond its active motion. It does not imply, the use of precision, specificity or the correction of spinal nerve interference. A specific spinal adjustment, on the other hand, is the specific application of force used to facilitate the body's correction of nerve interference. Chiropractors use specific adjustments to correct nerve interference in your body.
Because a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force applied in a specific direction to one area of the spine, it is virtually impossible to adjust yourself. Even Dr. Harrigan, Chiropractic Physician cannot adjust himself! With general movement, you can bend or twist and hear or feel a "popping" along the spine which may help release pressure. This is usually counterproductive and can also create areas of weakness and instability. The safest way to adjust the spine is to see a doctor of chiropractic. Dr. Harrigan, Chiropractic Physician went through several years of schooling to be able to adjust the spine in an effective and safe manner.
The body depends on the free flow of nerve communication from the brain, through the spinal column, to every part of the body. When any of these nerve signals become altered or distorted, the vital communication system is disrupted. These neurological disruptions are called subluxations.
Subluxations are caused by stresses that are experienced, through the nervous system, greater than the nervous system can easily adapt to. Our nervous system is responsible for relating the external environment to our internal environment. Our external environment can be broken up into three main categories; physical things (like trauma, posture, sleeping positions, exercise), chemical things (like nutrition, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, pollution) and mental things (like relationship stress, job stress). Again, when you experience any of or a combination of these stresses beyond your nervous systems ability to easily adapt, you will create a distortion in the nervous system. Chiropractors call this distortion a subluxation.
What are some of the warning signs of subluxation?
Subluxations can cause pain and muscle spasms. However, most of the time, you will not experience any symptoms. Often symptoms such as headaches, back pain, neck stiffness, pain in your shoulders, arms or legs, numbness in your hands and feet and various other symptoms can be signs of subluxations.
How can I try to prevent subluxations?
The number one way to prevent subluxation is to have your chiropractor give you lifetime wellness care. Your chiropractor will also educate you on how the manage the three types of stressors to prevent you from re-creating the same problems (subluxations) over and over.
Physical: How you use your body.
Bio-Chemical: What you put into your body.
Doctors of chiropractic are specifically trained to detect and correct vertebral subluxations. Your chiropractor will perform very specific tests; Surface EMG, thermal scan, palpation, orthopedic tests, range of motion throughout the spine, posture analysis, and possibly X-ray.
Each person is unique. Because each person is unique, it is difficult to predict how your body will react to adjustments. It depends on several factors including your current lifestyle, how long the problem has been around and your health history. Dr. Harrigan, Chiropractic Physician will provide you with the guidance and spinal corrections that you need, but, your body will only heal as quickly as it wants to. This can take time. Some patients may need occasional adjustments and wellness checks to keep them in balance and to maintain optimum health and wellness. Other patients may require more ongoing supportive care to maintain better health. Contact our Tucson chiropractic office to schedule an appointment today!

As condos continually rise to meet our skyline and rush hour seems to start a little earlier each day, we watch as our quaint little city slowly morphs into a bustling metropolis. Yet amidst the background hum, Austinites old and new are forging a brave new cultural landscape—reinventing, readapting and reinterpreting our city to fit a new set of needs and desires. Enter one of Austin's latest reincarnations: the wine bar.
In 2006, Congress Avenue's Cork & Co. was Austin's first establishment to serve light food and wine, exclusively. The place is small and cozy, with limited seating and various board games available for lingering fun. The light-heartedly titled wine flights (e.g. My Mind is a Total Blanc) offer a sampling of three different wines in two-ounce pours for a mini wine tasting at your table, and the assortment of cheese, bread and antipasto plates makes the bar a popular place for bachelorette and birthday parties.
Soon after Cork & Co.'s emergence, Dallas's Crú opened an Austin location in May 2006, providing a more upscale atmosphere inside and people-watching patio seating nearby on 2nd Street. In those early days of the wine bar renaissance, though, both Cork & Co. and Crú drew a select crowd of older, downtown diners. It seemed that the wine scene was still something reserved for special occasions or oenophiles.
Attitudes were rapidly changing, though. Vino Vino opened its doors to Hyde Park in late 2006, and the mood lighting, vast spaciousness and abundance of tables in various sizes made it equally perfect for date night or a late dinner with friends. Currently, each Monday and Tuesday, local musicians complement the buzz of conversation, and every Sunday, paella—cooked using traditional burners and pans from Spain—is served, starting at 7 p.m. Most of the customers at Vino Vino are regulars, which is unsurprising, considering the friendly neighborhood atmosphere and reasonable prices for Old World wine and high-quality fare. They carry over 300 bottles in all price ranges and glasses from $6–15.
"We really look for pH balance," says owner Jeff Courington. "We're looking for an acidity in our wine that goes well with food, and that's what really sets us apart."
Vino Vino's American menu changes seasonally and utilizes an impressive amount of local ingredients. Head chef and native Austinite Esteban Escobar works closely with John Lash of Farm to Table, who connects Austin restaurants and chefs with local farms like Tecolote Farm, Naegelin Family Farm, Animal Farm, Oak Hill Farms and Hands of the Earth Farm, to name a few. "We've used everything from pork belly to flat iron steak to lamb leg, all locally raised and grassfed," says Escobar.
Two recent offerings from Escobar included savory Texas Quail Ranch quail paired with clams and served with local arugula and corona beans, and a flat iron steak from Burgundy Pasture Beef served with local green onions, fennel-potato hash and garlic butter. The panna cotta using Wateroak Farms's chevre is also popular.
East 7th Street's Uncorked Tasting Room & Wine Bar surfaced last June in a turn-of-the-century house overlooking downtown. Owner and native Texan Ron Wight relocated to Austin after becoming "completely addicted to wine and the entire culture" in Northern California. A CIA Certified Wine Professional, Wight has traveled extensively, hitting every major wine region and gaining knowledge along the way. His lush wine country photos complement the candlelit décor of Uncorked—intimate enough for a first date, but casual enough to feel homey.
"We are somewhat upscale in appearance," Wight says, "but not pretentious in any way. Anyone is welcome to come here in shorts and flip-flops. No one will come in here and feel intimidated."
Currently, Wight is using his IT/finance background to develop a system called the Winedex. "I wanted to help people self-evaluate and compare wines as simply as possible," he says. When the system is completed, each wine offered at Uncorked will be identified on the menu through a series of icons representing type, body, flavors and sweetness. Wight hopes this will not only inform, but also encourage drinkers to continue exploring wines they wouldn't normally think of trying.
"When you drink a wine, you begin to wonder…what makes this Spanish tempranillo so different from this Napa cabernet?" Wight says. "It's the culture, the food, the weather, the history. In my mind, you expand your mind when you explore wine."
Uncorked's head chef Patrick Deschner (formally of The Salt Lick and Bess Bistro) offers seasonal specials meant to enhance the wine experience, like local goat cheeses from Blanco's CKC Farms, truffled mushroom and spinach risotto and Angus beef tenderloin au poivre in a red wine reduction—all best sellers.
One of the most recent bars to join Austin's burgeoning wine scene is Mulberry—nestled on the street level of the Austin 360 building since last August. Owner Michael Polombo was in finance for 10 years in New York City, then moved to Austin to pursue an MBA—writing the financial plan for Mulberry as part of the process. The bar-level seating is set off by a Calcutta gold marble surface and boxy oak stools custom-made by local design guru Michael Hsu. Visible wine storage is home to thousands of bottles and over 150 labels, with a focus on boutique wines.
Like the establishment itself, Mulberry's menu is small but dynamic. The pork and beef meatballs are served in a heady broth of white wine and lemon juice, and accompanied by garlic-rubbed toast. The burger balances pancetta, Gruyère, tomato and a fried egg. And a variety of bar snacks are offered, including a daily crostini special as well as raw oysters. But Mulberry is best known for its weekend brunch, featuring treats such as brioche French toast with cardamom syrup, and truffled fritatta with Gruyère. Mimosas and Bellinis are offered in addition to their selection of wines by the glass and hand-picked draft beer.
For a treat off the beaten wine path of downtown, head west to The Grove Wine Bar and Kitchen. Though open since December of 2007, it's taken the Central Austin crowd a little longer to discover this tucked-away, Westlake jewel.
The interior is elegant yet casual, designed largely in earth tones and wood, with vivid modern paintings brightening the walls. The dining area is sunlit and spacious, with windows looking out onto the patio's main attraction: a grove of live oaks that gracefully bend and twist around diners. A larger-than-life outdoor fan lifts air through the branches, creating luxurious breezes that make a sunset happy hour here one of Austin's best-kept secrets.
The Grove features a selection of bruschetta, pastas, salads and pizzas—what owner and restaurateur Reed Clemons (Bitter End Bistro & Brewery, Reed's Jazz & Supper Club, Reata Restaurant, Mezzaluna, Granite Cafe and Capitol Brasserie) calls "fun, wine-friendly food."
The wood-fired pizzas are light but satisfying—create your own pie or choose from their specialties like the Chicken Little (grilled chicken, garlic béchamel, caramelized onions, Gorgonzola and rosemary) or the Sausage Gone Wild (Italian fennel sausage, wild mushrooms, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, tomato sauce and mozzarella). The popular bruschetta board allows diners to pick three of nine toppings to top crusty bread and is accompanied by a bowl of olives.
The Grove's prices are surprisingly affordable. Glasses of wine start at $5 with an impressive 50 to choose from. There are also 10 wine flights and over 200 bottles available, ranging in price from a $20 bottle of pinot grigio to a $107 bottle of chardonnay. Retail bottles of wine are also available, with a discount if you've dined in-house. In fact, The Grove is just one of several wine bars blurring the line between retail wine merchant and restaurant. Selections tend to focus on smaller producers and feature more unique bottles than found in the grocery store.
In 2007, Cissi's Market opened on South Congress and quickly gained popularity as a gourmet market. Just last November, it morphed into a spacious, bona fide wine bar with large windows and an airy, modern interior. Owner Victoria Lynden preserved the boutique-market feel by keeping a mini version in the back—offering Sweetish Hill Bakery bread, bulk spices, deli sandwiches, organic chocolate, eco-friendly kitchen products and a small selection of prepared foods.
The menu at Cissi's features sandwiches and small plates perfect for a mid-shopping snack. A must-try appetizer is the Pecorino Toscano-stuffed, grilled medjool dates with house-cured bacon and Marcona almonds (Cissi's boasts not only house-cured bacon and salmon, but house-roasted beef and turkey). And for a mere $4, you can snack on a jewel-toned beet salad or gaufrettes: delicate, hand-cut French potato chips sprinkled with Gruyère.
There are 16 wines by the glass at Cissi's, and bottles span $16 to $90. Or choose from the impressive beer selection or the handful of house-made sparkling elixirs paired with a stunning dessert crafted by Pastry Chef Faith Chen. Even sweeter, Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. is retail happy hour, knocking $10 off select bottles from the wine wall.
Max's Wine Dive—yet another restaurant offering retail sales—has been pleasing Houston crowds since 2001, and in early May, an Austin location opened in an old warehouse on San Jacinto. Though more of a swanky sports bar than a dive, Max's offers Southern comfort foods with a pronounced twist: many dishes are made using local produce and artisan breads. Chef Steve Super, a former professional musician who's toured with the likes of Dolly Parton and Brooks & Dunn, whips up high-end dishes like fried green tomatoes with scallops, wild-harvested alligator tail, venison chili and truffle cream mac and cheese.
"We call it a dive bar but it's definitely a classy dive with a jukebox and it's very boisterous—not your parent's wine bar!" explains partner Jonathan Horowitz. "It's a little more edgy than most."
Named one of the "Hot 10" wine bars by Bon Appétit magazine, Max's appeals to Austin's downtown crowds with a late-night menu and an unusual "reverse happy hour," when select plates and glasses of wine are half-price for the last two hours of business. If you're looking to sample a variety of Max's dishes on a budget, Sunday's all-day brunch runs until 9 p.m. and includes bottomless mimosas.
"Our mantra is 'the best possible quality at the best possible price,'" says Horowitz. "You may be paying $18 for the Kobe beef burger, but that is a quality burger!"
Max's offers wine bottles to go at lower, retail prices as well. "Our focus on retail wine sales has been immensely popular," Horowitz says. "We have a really aggressive pricing program, with some of the lowest prices on phenomenal wines from around the world."
Judging from the buzz the new wave of wine bars is creating, it's clear that wine is no longer about strict pairings with certain elevated foods, nor is it coded in a secret language reserved for sommeliers. According to the Paris-based International Organisation of Vine and Wine, global consumption of wine totaled 6.4 billion gallons last year and, for the first time ever, the United States topped the charts, surpassing even Italy.
Even the forefathers are evolving to greet the movement: Cork & Co. now offers a daily happy hour featuring $5 glasses, and Crú added lunch and Sunday brunch to their menu, as well as half-price bottles of champagne on Thursdays.
Austin wine merchants are striving to bring wine back to the people, to make it a common part of dinner and meeting with friends and to offer prices that are reasonable in spite of the struggling economy. What better way to toast our ever-growing city?

Reading: Oral-Motor Function in Rett Syndrome
Oral-Motor Function in Rett Syndrome
The communication skills, oral-motor function and respiration patterns of 20 girls with Rett syndrome were studied at the Crippled Childrens Division, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, OR.
Keywords: Oral-Motor Function, Rett Syndrome, Midtemporal Regions
How to Cite: Millichap, J.G., 1990. Oral-Motor Function in Rett Syndrome. Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 4(2), pp.16–16. DOI: http://doi.org/10.15844/pedneurbriefs-4-2-10
The communication skills, oral-motor function and respiration patterns of 20 girls with Rett syndrome were studied at the Crippled Childrens Division, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, OR. All patients showed a regression in speech and language function by the onset of Stage II Rett syndrome. Oral-motor tone of the cheeks, lips and tongue changed from hypotonicity in Stages I and III to hypertonicity in Stage IV in a direct relationship with postural tone. Three girls in Stage IV showed fasciculations of the tongue. Most girls in Stages III and IV showed tongue deviation to the left at rest. [1]
COMMENT. This study documents the differences in oral-motor function in the various stages of Rett syndrome. The same author has described abnormal chewing associated with tongue thrusting and involuntary undulating tongue movements in 11 of 13 girls with Rett syndrome [2]. Feeding problems included difficulty in chewing and swallowing, choking and regurgitation.
An EEG study in 52 girls with Rett syndrome [3] showed that seizure discharges occurred in 43 patients and were not related to the onset of clinical seizures. They consisted of sharp waves or spikes, focal or multifocal, mainly limited to the central and midtemporal regions of one or both hemispheres. Light sleep enhanced the presence of discharges. Periodical hyperventilation seen frequently during EEG recordings in this study was not associated with any consistent EEG change. Sleep spindles were conspicuously absent in all records. The authors find the EEG features helpful in confirmation of the diagnosis of Rett syndrome in the appropriate clinical setting.

Microsoft's Patch Tuesday for March Contains Just One Critical Fix
Microsoft is planning to keep things relatively low-key on March 13th, otherwise known as Patch Tuesday, which will contain only six security bulletins. Only one of those is deemed Critical; the other five consist of four that are labeled Important and one that is rated Moderate.
The critical fix applies to all versions of Windows since XP and plugs up a security hole that could allow an attacker to gain control of an infected system remotely.
"Organizations will have to reboot after applying the critical patch, which indicates that it is fix for a kernel level bug," said Marcus Carey, a security researcher at Rapid7. "There are two important bulletins that effect the Windows family as well."
This roundup of half a dozen security bulletins brings the total to 22 for the year, compared to 17 that were issued through March 2011. And while this is a relatively light month in terms of Patch Tuesday updates, it contains twice as many security bulletins as last year.

Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychoanalyse, Psychotherapie, Psychosomatik und Tiefenpsychologie (DGPT) ist ein Berufsverband der Psychoanalytiker in Deutschland. Zweck ist die Pflege, Weiterentwicklung und Verbreitung der Psychoanalyse in Forschung, Lehre und Versorgung sowie die Förderung der Anwendung der Psychoanalyse in Psychotherapie und Psychosomatik. Die DGPT versteht sich als Berufsverband der deutschen psychologischen und ärztlichen Psychoanalytiker sowie als Dachverband der ihr angeschlossenen Fachgesellschaften und Institute. Sie ist Mitglied der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften. Sitz und Geschäftsstelle der Gesellschaft sind in Berlin.

Geschichte
1949 wurde die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychotherapie und Tiefenpsychologie gegründet. Zweck war die Schaffung eines berufspolitischen und wissenschaftlichen Forums für alle Psychoanalytiker. Neben der Schaffung von gemeinsamen Ausbildungsstandards an den Kliniken wurde eine Anerkennung der Psychotherapie und Psychoanalyse in der universitären Forschung und Lehre sowie der allgemeinen medizinischen Versorgung der Bevölkerung angestrebt und erreicht. So wurde 1958 die Zusatzbezeichnung Psychotherapie und 1971 die Anerkennung von psychotherapeutischen Leistungen durch Psychologen in der kassenärztlichen Versorgung erreicht. Ausführlich wurde die Geschichte der DGPT von der Psychoanalytikerin Regine Lockot aufgearbeitet.

Organisation
Die DGPT ist die Dachgesellschaft für die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Analytische Psychologie, die Deutsche Psychoanalytische Gesellschaft, die Deutsche Psychoanalytische Vereinigung und die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Individualpsychologie sowie für 18 freie Aus- und Weiterbildungsinstitute. Daneben ist die DGPT in 16 Landesverbänden organisiert. In diesen organisieren sich weitere 56 Mitgliedsinstitute. Die DGPT unterteilt ihre Einzelmitglieder in die Sektion Berufsverband der Ärztlichen Psychoanalytikerinnen und Psychoanalytiker (BÄP) und die Sektion Berufsverband der Psychologischen Psychoanalytikerinnen und Psychoanalytiker (BPP). Diese arbeiten als selbstständig agierende Unterorganisationen in Abstimmung mit der jeweils anderen als berufsständische Vertretungsorganisation. Auf ihrer Website stellt die DGPT ein Organigramm zur Verfügung, das Vereinsstruktur, Zweck und Aufgaben im Überblick darstellt.

Welcome back to summer three of #WhyIExercise. If you're new to this blog, you're in for six weeks of inspirational posts by some of our favorite Twitter educators. The series started three summers ago when I noticed that many educators were being intentional about fitness, health, and work-life balance. Additionally, two great tribes, #FitnessEdu and #FitLeaders, regularly share their fitness goals and motivate others to achieve theirs. This blog celebrates the journey and hopefully along the way will encourage others to recommit, begin, or continue developing a healthy and fit lifestyle.
#WhyIExercise has spotlighted 13 educators. Let's take a look at where some of them are now.
The passing of time has a way of bringing change...good and bad. I have experienced some big changes both professionally and personally since that first summer post. One constant has remained through it all...my commitment to sweating every day. I suffered a massive injury May of 2017 that had the potential of losing all of my fitness gains. I tore my achilles tendon requiring surgery and months of rehabilitation. Instead of settling into a sedentary lifestyle, I embraced the challenge of working out every day. I used crutches for cardio and logged miles each day. I used weight training to maintain upper body strength. Working out was the catalyst that kept me out of self-pity and regression. I had a personal setback in December of 2017 and again I turned to exercise and self-care to help me thrive during hard times. I lost a significant amount of weight and have managed to keep it off. I can honestly say I am in the best shape of my life and my energy levels are at an all time high. When change comes, it is our positive habits that help us navigate uncharted waters successfully. I have reached the point where if I don't exercise in the morning, my day doesn't feel right. The motivation I get from #fitleaders keeps me consistent and I am very grateful for the vibe of this tribe. People say "Don't sweat the small stuff." I disagree. I say sweat through the small stuff and the big stuff in life...well-being, happiness, and the tools to thrive will be the reward.
As a candidate for United States House of Representatives through the last year (NJ-CD 2), consistency with my fitness was difficult. It seems that my fitness routines come at the expense of sleep and vice-versa. I am an early morning workout warrior (3:30 AM wake-up call!) so late night campaign events had a significant impact on my physical well-being. Luckily for me, I do pretty well on 4-5 hours of sleep a night. Once I regained some of that consistency in my exercise, everything else improved as well. Now that I am no longer running for public office (withdrew recently), I have rededicated myself to my fitness and diet. I have not run any Elite Spartan Races since last April (2017), but my wife and I are currently training for a Spartan Sprint this summer (which will be her first Spartan Race!). I plan on continuing to place high expectations on my fitness because it helps to drive me in other areas of my life. With a full plate as a school admin, father, husband, and community activist, I need that drive and balance!
Thank you so much, Michael, Mari, and Sean, for continuing to share your journey.
Each week, guests are asked to share why they exercise, their exercise regime, their food and diet plans, as well as motivational quotes, goals, and their one word. Let's take a photo walk and get some inspiration from previous guest bloggers.
We've had two fun summers of fitness. I'm excited to spend another summer with you. Join us for the next six Saturday mornings as a new educator is spotlighted each week. Be sure to give them a follow and continue to be inspired.
Excited to spend the summer with you!

A procedure performed for the assessment and treatment of patients with symptoms of a hypersensitive bladder; such as bladder pain, and a frequent and urgent desire to pass urine.
Under a general anaesthetic a telescope inserted up the urethra, (the tube from the bladder), to inspect the lining inside the bladder. The bladder is then filled with sterile water to measure its capacity under anaesthesia. This filling is then repeated to stretch the bladder. Pinpoint areas of bleeding from the lining of the bladder as a result of the stretch are noted as these can sometimes be a sign of a condition called Interstitial Cystitis (I.C.), although they are also found in other conditions and even some normal bladders. Biopsies of the bladder lining can be taken to be sent for analysis. The whole procedure takes about 20 minutes.
Examination of the bladder and biopsies can exclude other more serious causes of your bladder symptoms such as bladder cancer. If small growths are found they can often be removed at the time (and then the bladder stretch is not performed). The bladder stretch can help diagnose Interstitial Cystitis. Normal bladder capacity under an anaesthetic is about a litre. This may be reduced in Interstitial Cystitis (although not always) and a low bladder capacity can be an indication of how severe the condition is. Some patients with I.C. (5-10%) have 'ulcers' in their bladder. If these are found they are resected or diathermied as this usually gives good relief of bladder pain. If any growth or ulcers are resected causing bleeding, patients may need to stay in hospital, as a catheter is usually left in the bladder for until the urine clears of blood, usually 1-2 days.
How does the bladder stretch help relieve symptoms?
We don't really know. The stretch may damage the nerve endings in the bladder lining which are oversensitive. Stretching the bladder does not seem to result in any long term bladder dysfunction.
This is usually performed as a day procedure. Following the procedure, once you have passed urine adequately you can go home. The first time you pass urine it may burn and you may see some blood. These symptoms continue to improve and resolve over the next 24 hours. Most patients (80%) with Interstitial Cystitis experience a flare of their symptoms afterwards. This means when they wake up their pain is worse. Analgesia is provided postoperatively and to continue with after discharge as needed. The pain then slowly improves over 2-3 weeks. About 60% will then notice an improvement in their symptoms lasting for an average of 6-9months.
Can the procedure be repeated?
Yes, if symptoms return, or other treatments can be considered. Also if a patient does not have any improvement in their symptoms after the initial hydrodistension it can be repeated as some patients show improvement only after the 2nd or 3rd treatment.
There is a small, <5%, risk of developing a urine infection in the few days following the procedure. If you become unwell, or develop a fever, urgency or pain urinating you will need a urine test for infection and possibly a course of antibiotics. If you experience heavy bleeding or the bleeding is not resolving in 24-48 hours, contact your surgeon at the rooms, or through Calvary Hospital.
There is a very small risk of perforating the bladder, especially if the bladder is severely diseased and thin. This will usually heal by leaving a catheter draining the bladder for 5-7days but can sometimes require open surgery to repair the bladder. Damage to the blood supply of the bladder from stretching is very rare.
It is often not possible to warn patients of every possible risk or potential complication with surgery especially if very rare. Yet it is important that you are aware of what risks are involved, especially the more common ones. This information is not meant to alarm you but allow you to make an informed consent to have surgery. It is very rare but unfortunately some patients can suffer complications and end up worse off as a result of their surgery.
A cystoscopy is usually required to examine the bladder and exclude other causes of your symptoms. This alone can be performed under local anaesthesia but is may be uncomfortable for patients with a painful bladder. The bladder distension requires a general anaesthetic (or regional anaesthetic in some cases). The bladder distension is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis but other treatments are available, including oral medication and treatments that are put directly into the bladder via a catheter.
You will need to fast beforehand. Please read the information sheet for a Day Stay procedure with general anaesthesia.
You will be given analgesia to take home and an appointment to see your surgeon in the rooms in a few weeks to assess your response. Earlier review is available if needed for any reason. The results from any bladder biopsies taken are usually available within a week by phoning the rooms.

Nothing We Know Of Stops Dementia: Broad Review Rules Out Drugs, Exercise, And Brain-Training Games
Ed Cara
Dec 22, 2017, 9:00pm
Few afflictions carry the existential dread that dementia does. While it's bad enough that there isn't a treatment that can stop the progression of Alzheimer's once it's apparent, a new series of papers published this week suggests something even more disheartening: There might be nothing you can do to prevent it, either.
A wide collaboration of researchers reviewed dozens of mostly randomised studies, each one testing if a particular intervention could prevent the onset of dementia or improve cognitive outcomes among older adults with normal or mildly impaired cognition. The study found that whether it was prescription drugs, exercise, supplements, or brain-training games, there wasn't conclusive proof that any intervention worked.
"What we found was that there's no magic bullet. There isn't anything out there that is strongly supported - nothing that has strong evidence," Mary Butler, one of the study's authors and co-director of the Minnesota Evidence-based Practice Center, told me.
The search for a promising intervention wasn't entirely fruitless. They did find some weak evidence that a combination of lifestyle changes, like exercise, a healthy diet, and cognitive training, all done at once, could possibly slow down a person's cognitive decline. And they also found evidence that brain-training games and cognitive exercises seemed to improve people's cognitive skills, at least those skills related to the game itself. However, Butler explained, "that's only what we would call an intermediate outcome. It's not actually showing a delay or reduction in the number of people who develop dementia. That's really what we care about."
The reviews were commissioned by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality as well as the National Institute on Ageing, and the data from each was used to form the backbone of a report on dementia released earlier this year by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. But Butler's team isn't the only one to have recently examined the subject. In July, medical journal The Lancet released its own report, which was more optimistic. It estimated that about a third of cases could potentially be prevented through lifestyle tweaks, from getting better education as a kid to quitting smoking by your later years.
Butler says that while she doesn't know enough about the Lancet report's data to comment on their conclusions, the two teams were approaching the question differently.
"You could say ours is the conservative one, and it starts with: 'What do we know? And what don't we know?' And now we have clarity about those things," she says. "The Lancet report takes information, puts it into a model, and says: 'If the model is a relatively accurate presentation of reality, then this is what the answer would be.' So it's a projection."
Despite their different takes, Butler and her team don't want their findings to be seen as a pessimistic final word on the subject either. Many of the studies they reviewed may have failed to show any effect not because it wasn't there, but simply because they ran for too short a time or couldn't easily keep track of ageing volunteers. Or maybe the interventions didn't work because they were undertaken too late. "If physical activity is started in a person who has been sedentary up until age 65, is that enough?" Butler says. "Or do they need to have started when they were in their 30s or 40s?"
And while it's unlikely that researchers who look at the effects of lifestyle on dementia will be able to conduct the kind of gold-standard studies that help scientists decide whether a drug works, Butler is hopeful we can perform better-designed, long-term studies. And that might lead to genuine discoveries. Above all, she doesn't want anyone to interpret her research to mean that it's worthless to work at being healthier.
"There's no harm in eating right, being active, and cognitively and socially engaged. Those are things that will be beneficial to your health overall, and they might actually help with brain health, they might possibly help with cognitive capacity," she says. "We just don't have the evidence that supplies that [conclusion] right now."

DisplayPort 2.0 Is Finally Here, And This Is Why It Matters


My problem is this: I don't know myself.
I'm 15 and everyone around me has long ago discovered their sexuality, their interests, and callings yet I just have nothing. I have no clue about anything. And yes I know I'm still young but I don't even know my sexuality yet, I always thought it would just be an answer there in your head one day but it's like my brain is all fogged up and I can't find my way through. Any advice on how to find yourself better would be amazing. Thank you so much.
Thanks for writing in to our advice forum! I'm sorry to hear you're feeling a little lost right now. I have to say, I know the feeling! I'm 23 years old and I'm still getting to know myself!! As a matter of fact, I think it's something I'll be doing for the rest of my life! It can be a little scary, but once you change your mindset a little bit, possibilities open up and it can actually be a little exciting! Here are a few ways you could try to shift your perspective—I think it could really help.
Know that everyone does NOT in fact have themselves all figured out. We often think everyone around us has everything all figured out, and so we should too. People are generally very good at coming off as composed to the rest of the world, even if they're feeling like a mess inside. And it's a funny conundrum, because when we see other people actually all put together, we want to act that way more ourselves, and it just exacerbates the problem in a little cycle. I guess my point is, while it may seem that everyone around you has everything figured out, I really, sincerely doubt that they have—especially at 15!! Your teen years are the years when you really are just starting to explore who you are and get to know yourself. Anyone who thinks they've discovered their callings and interests 100% at 15 is probably in for a surprise, whether it comes in 1, 2, 5, or 20 years!
Try to take some pressure off, because trying to force yourself to find yourself won't likely work too well. Be patient with and kind to yourself; remember that you are young, and that there is no right time, place, or way to discover anything about yourself, your sexuality included! Remember that we are all works in progress as humans, and constantly evolving.
See if you can think of self-discovery as your greatest adventure. I think it's actually a blessing to not be all figured out as a teen. When you don't have super regimented ideas about how you are as a person, things can be pretty free and open. For example, if you build your identity at a young age around the idea that you are, say, incredibly timid, it may limit you from trying things that a timid person wouldn't "typically" enjoy or like, like taking a new class in karate that you know nothing about or riding an intense rollercoaster with some of your "braver" friends, which would be a real bummer, because you may in fact be super into karate and rollercoasters! If you aren't committed to a particular facet of your identity, it means you can explore! Take this time as a chance to explore any and everything that interests you, whether it's trying out a cooking class, using a meditation app, or talking to a girl in your class that you've never met. I think that's the best way to get to know yourself—experience and engage in life as much as you possibly can! You certainly won't like it all or identify with everything, but every experience will add one more layer onto your identity and concept of self (even if it's realizing that you never ever want to cook or talk to that girl again—that's still one more thing you wouldn't have known if you didn't try). Self discovery can be so fun and exciting if we don't take ourselves too seriously and let things unfold naturally.
Start conceptualizing sexuality as something fluid. I so wish that kids were taught from a young age that sexuality is fluid and not strictly black and white, because it would make so many people's lives much easier!!! There's still a chance that a clear answer will pop into your head one day like you thought, and that's certainly how it works for some people, but for many others, it's something that develops over time as they gain experiences. And even then, it may not settle on something clear and "simple" like being strictly heterosexual. And that's okay! Again, take some pressure off yourself. There's no rush. As long as you are doing what feels good and right to you, and you're treating the world and people around you with respect, it's okay to have no idea where you stand in terms of your sexuality. You will gain clarity in time.
Take your time, enjoy your youth, and give yourself the love, respect, and validation you deserve. And if you figure out any awesome things about yourself (or ways to do it), be sure to let us know!

Andrew Mark Robinson (born 3 November 1979) is an English footballer who plays for Rock Ferry Social.

Robinson's professional career began in 2002 at Tranmere Rovers and concluded in 2015 after a short stint at Shrewsbury Town. In this time, he made 332 league appearances in representing four clubs, scoring 64 goals. During his five years with Swansea City, he won the Football League Trophy in 2006 and the League One title in 2008.

Football career

Early career
Robinson began his football career playing for non-League Merseyside team Cammell Laird before being recruited by Tranmere Rovers on 1 December 2002. Rovers overlooked his potential however and soon released him, allowing Swansea City to snap him up; initially on a three-month trial then on a permanent basis.

Swansea City
Robinson had a very successful career at Swansea, losing a playoff final, winning promotion on two occasions and winning The Football League Trophy along the way. He played mostly as a winger. His Swansea career ended in them getting promoted to the Championship, with Swansea winning the League One championship, he was a vital part of Roberto Martínez's team playing on either flank with Paul Anderson occupying the other flank. Robinson provided many assists and goals for Swansea in the promotion season. And after turning down a new contract at Swansea, he chose to move to
Leeds United.

He was also the scorer of the very last goal at the Vetch Field in the FAW Premier Cup Final against Wrexham in May 2005.

Leeds United
Robinson chose to accept an offer from Leeds United before their play-off final game against Doncaster Rovers. Leeds lost that game 1–0 and Robinson missed out on his Championship dream for the following season.

Robinson scored his first goal for Leeds against Chester City in the League Cup, which was only his second game for Leeds. Part the way through the 2008–09 season, Robinson was reunited with former Swansea teammate Lee Trundle, although Trundle's spell was short and largely forgettable during his time at Leeds. During his first season at Leeds, Robinson had many injury problems which led to quite a stop start season. He came on as a first-half substitute for Neil Kilkenny in the playoff semi final loss against Millwall, and ended the season with six goals in all competitions.

During the 2009–10 season, Robinson has found himself on the bench, usually coming on in the second half to try influence a game. Robinson scored his first goal of the season for Leeds in the Football League Trophy game against Darlington, scoring a freekick with the help of a deflection. Robinson has struggled to even get a place on the bench for Leeds, with him struggling with fitness issues, and the arrival of on loan wingers Max Gradel and Hogan Ephraim who are all ahead of him in the pecking order, with the likes of Robert Snodgrass, Bradley Johnson and Jonathan Howson all guaranteed starters. After not playing for Leeds' first team for several months, and not even being named in match day squads, Robinson was sent to play with the Leeds youth squad at a tournament in Dubai, in which the Leeds team got to the final in.

Upon his return from Dubai, Robinson joined Tranmere Rovers on loan on 25 March 2010 until the end of the season. He made his debut for the club during a 3–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 27 March but was sent-off for foul play. He scored a long range effort against Millwall on 1 May 2010 to help his loan club Tranmere escape relegation and help his parent club, Leeds United win promotion back to the Championship. Tranmere managed to escape relegation to League Two.

On 14 May 2010, after returning from his loan at Tranmere Rovers, Robinson was advised by manager Simon Grayson to search for a new club and placed on the transfer list. He did not play a single game for Leeds' first team during the 2010–11 pre-season friendlies. Robinson initially struggled in his attempts to find a new club. Before Leeds' Championship game with Robinson's former club Swansea City, Robinson hinted that he made a mistake in leaving his previous employers.

Robinson had his contract with Leeds United terminated by mutual consent on 1 December 2010. Robinson revealed that despite having a difficult spell at Leeds he had no regrets about joining them.

Tranmere Rovers
He joined former club Tranmere, for his third spell with the club on 27 January 2011. The club offered him contract terms for the 2011–12 season.

After playing regularly for the rest of the 2010–11 season, local media reported that he had been offered a new contract for the 2011–12 season. He subsequently signed an additional contract keeping him with the club for the 2012–13 season. Robinson scored his first career hat-trick against Carlisle United in a 3–0 away win in August 2012.

Andy Robinson's 2012–13 season at Tranmere got off to a flying start, with him winning the League One Player of the Month accolade in August, and scoring 7 goals in the process. Andy's presence on the pitch helped Rovers to the summit of League One, with the best start in their history. He was then ruled out for two weeks with injury.

On 13 June 2013 it was announced Robinson had signed a new one-year contract with Tranmere. He scored Tranmere's only goal in the League One opener at Walsall, and another in their second game, a 2–0 victory over Mansfield in the League Cup on 6 August.

He was released by Tranmere on 17 April 2014 after not getting much time on the pitch throughout the current campaign. His contract was cancelled after a mutual agreement.

Shrewsbury Town

Following a period on trial, Andy Robinson signed for Shrewsbury Town on a one-year deal on 17 July 2014. He made three substitute appearances in all competitions early in the season, but after picking up a serious knee injury was allowed an extended leave of absence to consider his future in December 2014. Robinson was reported to be on trial at Crawley Town in January 2015, although this was subsequently denied by Shrewsbury.

Having not featured at first team level since the previous August, Robinson was released by mutual agreement in March 2015, stating he was hoping to extend his playing career elsewhere, or move into a coaching position.

On 23 March 2015, Robinson announced his retirement because of a knee injury.

Stockport County

Robinson decided to extend his career by moving into the semi-professional game, joining former Football League club Stockport County, now of the National League North, in June 2015. His contract was terminated by mutual consent on 27 December. He then moved into the amateur game, playing Sunday league football for Rock Ferry Social.

Ammanford

In August 2019, Robinson signed for Ammanford, who are playing in the Cymru South league, the second tier of Welsh football. Robinson will be reunited with his former Swansea teammate, Lee Trundle, who also signed for Ammanford.
