All Good Motors supply timing belt replacement (cam belt) on all tends to make and models of automobiles. We only fit the quite highest normal high quality timing belts and tensioners. All automobiles have a timing belt or perhaps a timing chain. The job of this car part is usually to decide when and how your engine's valves do their job. Whilst timing chains are normally considered longer lasting than timing belts, each will eventually have to be replaced.
Most will have to be replaced at either 6090 and 000,000, or 105,000 miles, although timing belts vary as to how typically they will must be replaced. A great mechanic will comprehend your specific vehicle and its timing belt and can inspect your timing belt for damages at the acceptable intervals. Most vehicles will will need a timing belt replacement someplace in between 60,105 and 000,000 miles, as described above. Again, this can be just a general rule and any trustworthy mechanic will check your timing belt extremely regularly. Some vehicles, even so, require their timing belts replaced at diverse intervals.
Most European cars, for example, will want their timing belts replaced somewhere between 75,000 to 80,000 miles. If you are unsure about when your automobile is most likely to need a timing belt replacement or in case you think you could possibly be experiencing timing belt troubles prior to your car is due for any replacement or inspection, get in touch with us for a cost-free quote. It is always superior to be secure than sorry. When in doubt, take your automobile into the mechanic to get a thorough inspection.
Our mechanics have all been trained in the most up-to-date technologies and our workshop has been equipped with the most up-to-date diagnostic gear, enabling us to rapidly pinpoint any faults within your car as immediately and accurately as you possibly can. Should your timing belt need to be replaced or the clutch repaired or checked, as part on the Bosch Car Service network, we are going to make sure that replacement parts with the very same high quality because the originals are fitted.
It can be critical to know that when we perform our timing belt replacement, we may very well be advising you to adjust additional parts including your water pump or idlers and tensioners. That is per makers suggestions and really should be accomplished at the same time as the timing belt replacement process. We will inform you in the time of booking if we need to have to modify these added products through the timing belt replacement method.
The timing belt is an vital part of the internal combustion engine that controls the timing of car's engine valves. Need to the timing belt break, the potential damage and eventual charges is often substantial. A broken timing belt can lead to the engine written off, resulting inside a hugely pricey engine rebuilt.

Malaysians Urged to Follow Lee Kuan Yew's Example
Well said. Maybe everyone should just follow his example.
Since the passing of Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on Monday (Mar 23), political figures from around the world have been paying tribute to the late leader.
Across the causeway, politicians – those in government and in opposition – have called on Malaysians and those in the region to learn from, and emulate, Mr Lee. Among them is Abdullah Ahmad, former political secretary to Malaysia's second Prime Minister Abdul Razak Hussein.
"To me he was one of the greatest political and pragmatic leaders of the 20th century," said Mr Abdullah. "Walk the talk if you want to be a leader, no hanky panky, live spartanly, honestly and be brave and take action without fear and favour."
He added: "Lots of people talk but can't deliver; Malaysians, Singaporeans and people in ASEAN should learn from him. In the end, actions speak louder than words. Mr Lee set leadership by example and nobody questioned his integrity."
Zaid Ibrahim, a former Malaysian Minister in the Prime Minister's department, said Mr Lee's principled outlook is a lesson for Malaysia. "Any country that seeks to build a strong and united community must be guided by very strong principles," said Mr Zaid Ibrahim. "This is something we can learn from him; China learnt a lot from him and so can we, if we can manage our ego a bit."
Mr Lee's influence in the international community has also not gone unnoticed in Malaysia. "Singapore has been able to punch above its weight on my fronts," said Lim Kit Siang, Opposition Leader, Democratic Action Party. "There is no reason why Malaysia hasn't been able to punch above our weight. That's something Malaysians are concerned about."
Since Mr Lee's passing on Monday, the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur has received a steady stream of visitors, prompting the extension of the signing of the condolence book until 6pm on Sunday.

Many different mechanisms are involved in the down-regulation of the immune response. Extreme situations of down-regulation may very well be indistinguishable from tolerance. This similarity between activation of suppressor circuits and clonal anergy is made more obvious by the fact that the experimental protocols used to induce one or the other were virtually identical. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the down-regulation of the immune response (Weiner et al. 1994). Two types of mononuclear cells (MNCs) seem to be capable of suppressor activity lymphocytes and monocytes. Recently, CD4+ cells, which express CD25 on the surface, have been shown to act as regulators (suppressors) of the immune response in a variety of experimental conditions (Groux and Powerie 1999).
It is during the immediate postnatal period that acquired immune function is first detectable in mammals (Ghia et al. 1998). Functional B and T lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow and thymus, respectively, and migrate to the spleen, lymph nodes, and mucosal associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) as functional end cells (Osmond 1985). However, a mature pattern of immune response to antigens is not achieved until approximately one month of age in rodents. During the first month of postnatal life in mice, the immune system remains immature, fails to produce antibodies to carbohydrate antigens, and the humoral immune response to antigens is dominated by the production of IgM (Mosier et al. 1979 Dorshkind 1986). After this period of perinatal immunodeficiency, mice mount mature immune responses to protein and carbohydrate antigens and respond to intracellular pathogens, and the immune response can be assumed to accurately portray mature postnatal immune function (Raff et al. 1970).
The exact function of Ro SSA is unknown, but a recent study demonstrated that it may have a role in cytokine production by activated T cells (Ishii et al. 2003). Recently, a Ro SSA knockout mouse was developed that was characterized by the development of an autoimmune syndrome with increased sensitivity to light. This suggests that Ro SSA antibodies may actually contribute to the development of the autoimmune response by allowing cryptic epitopes to be presented to the immune system in response to UV apoptosis (Xue et al. 2003).
Continued maturation of the macaque immune system has been provided by evaluation of various serum parameters during the postnatal period. Longitudinal measurements of CD4 CD8 T cell ratios have been reported in colony-bred rhesus (Dykhuizen et al. 2000) and cynomolgus (Bleavins et al. 1993 Baroncelli et al. 1997) macaques using flow cytometry. In both macaques, the CD4 CD8 ratios slowly decline with age, predominantly due to decreasing CD4+ T cell counts (Table 7.7). The CD4 CD8 values between 6 months and 1 year of age in these macaques (approximately 1.4 to 1.8) are in the same range as reported for humans between 4 to 5 years of age (Heldrup et al. 1992).
Relatively little is known in the neural crest field about the downstream effects of transcription factors associated with particular neural crest lineages. The best characterized examples of the molecular control of lineage segregation from multipotent precursors are found in the immune system, for example, the transcriptional control of B-cell development from hematopoietic stem cells (reviewed in Schebesta et al., 2002). Results from this field provide a paradigm for thinking about how lineage segregation might occur at the molecular level within the neural crest.
Progression of T. gondii infection and immune response to the parasite can be monitored by the following parameters signs of illness and time until death histopathology to assess inflammatory changes induced by the infection and to establish the presence of the parasite in tissues (immunohistochemistry) tissue levels of mRNA for genes expressed specifically in the tachyzoite stage (parasite load) tissue levels of cytokine mRNA cytokine levels in serum and other body fluids serum titers of T. gondii antibodies lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine secretion after in vitro stimulation with T. gondii and flow cytometry to detect changes in the phenotypic composition of leukocytes in different organs. Depending on the purpose of the experiment, the investigator should choose one or more of these parameters as appropriate, as well as the timing of evaluation after infection (see Anticipated Results).
A number of guideline toxicity studies utilized in the regulation of pesticides, industrial chemicals, and environmental pollutants include assessments of immune system structure and or function. The majority of these studies are performed in adult animals. Although they were not developed to assess the developing immune system, they can provide valuable information that could indicate the necessity for further testing to evaluate effects on the immune system following developmental exposure. Figure 3.1 demonstrates the immunotoxic endpoints assessed in several typical guideline toxicology studies, in relationship to the life stage of the test animals at the time of study conduct.
The severity of L. monocytogenes infection can also be monitored in unimmunized mice. In normal mice, L. monocytogenes infection induces a nonspecific inflammatory response involving neutrophils, natural killer cells, and macrophages during the first 24 to 72 hr of infection. This response substantially decreases the infectious burden and is essential for the survival of infected mice. The specific immune response to L. monocytogenes occurs 5 to 7 days after infection and ultimately clears the last bacteria from the spleen and liver of infected mice. Therefore, following infection of mice with sublethal doses of L. monocytogenes, it is possible to assess the competence of innate and specific immunity by quantifying bacteria 48 to 72 hr and 7 to 10 days after infection, respectively.
Senescence of the immune system is well documented but poorly understood. Both innate and acquired immune responses to antigens are different in rodents in the last quartile of their life (McGlauchlen and Vogel 2003 Romanyukha and Yashin 2003). This failure of immune function is due, in part, to failure of production of newly formed cells and decreased survival of long-lived cells in lymphoid tissues.
Mind, and such studies may reveal quite different sensitivities to toxic insult. It should also be noted that the persistence and predominance of hematopoiesis in the fetal liver throughout much of gestation has made it the organ of choice for mechanistic studies of normal and disrupted rodent blood cell development and immune function development (Cumano et al. 2000).
Although not discussed in any detail in those guidelines, developmental immu-notoxicity is considered part of developmental toxicity, as is developmental neurotoxicity or any other type of functional alteration resulting from an exposure during the developmental period (conception to sexual maturity). In the case of developmental neurotoxicity, further guidance is given in the Guidelines for Neurotoxicity Risk Assessment (USEPA 1998a), and the same approach might be considered for development of guidelines for immunotoxicity risk assessment that would include the assessment of potential effects on the immune system at multiple life stages.
The pig as an omnivorous species is of major interest for studying the development of the immune system. In comparison to rodents, the piglet is almost completely developed at birth. In terms of digestion, the pig's gastrointestinal tract can be compared in several structural aspects to that of humans. So far, the pig has been used for several experimental approaches especially in transplantation research is the pig an essential animal model. This is reflected by nearly 6000 bibliographic citations between 1997 and 2002 (between 1991 and 1996, there were approximately 1530 citations). The possible use of pigs as donors for xenotransplantation has inspired much research in this area (Davis et al. 1996 Robinson et al. 1998 Tucker et al. 2002).
Like an autoimmune disease or the rejection of a transplanted organ, allergic asthma is the result of an unwanted immune response. Characterized by episodes of usually reversible obstruction of the airways, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and chronic inflammation with lung infiltration by lymphocytes, eosinophils, and mast cells, asthma is a respiratory response to a variety of stimuli. This disease is manifested by thickening of the bronchial mucosa and narrowing of airways, and most commonly results in coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath (Koren and O'Neill 1998 Saltini et al. 1998).
Mechanisms related to immunotoxicants can only rarely be detailed. Nonetheless, data are available to implicate several environmental toxicants in the deviation of the immune response towards the development of asthma so that the interplay between genetics, environmental toxicants, and asthma onset can be appreciated and, in time, manipulated for better treatment or cure of this disease. The immunoregu-latory mechanisms vulnerable to alteration by the factors listed above will now be discussed, including the cells, cytokines, and signaling pathways involved in asthmatic inflammation.
The effect of maternal or neonatal exposure to any allergen during the development of the immune system on enhanced susceptibility to asthma must be explored further. What is known of the influence of common indoor allergens associated with asthmagenesis (asthmagens) will now be discussed.
In the bone marrow, stromal cells provide physical support as well as the growth factors and hormones important for the initiation of differentiation programs that produce the many cell lineages found there (reviewed in Chaplin 2003). Particularly significant for immune function is the development of natural killer (NK) cells, B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages (Muramatsu 1993) in the bone marrow compartment. Moreover, precursors of T lymphocytes originate in the bone marrow but emigrate to the thymus for further differentiation.
Santoni et al. (1997 1998 1999) examined the effects that cypermethrin, administered by gavage in corn oil during gestation, has on the developing immune system of rats. Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to 50 mg cypermethrin for 10 days from GD 7 to GD 16. Pups were euthanized on PND 15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 and evaluated for immune dysfunction. There was no evidence of toxicity, as demonstrated by normal pregnancies, no mortality, and no loss of body weight compared to controls in the offspring. Male and female offspring results were grouped together consequently, information relative to potential gender susceptibility to prenatal cyper-methrin exposure is not available.
Ovalbumin-fed animals were used to follow antigen uptake by the sow and transfer of antigen and specific antibodies to the offspring via colostrum (Telemo et al. 1991). After antigen feeding during gestation and lactation, the antigen was tolerated by the piglets however, antigen feeding during lactation alone resulted in induction of IgG antibody production and diarrhea (Bailey et al. 1994b). These experiments demonstrate the immunological competence of the porcine fetus and newborn against environmental antigens. The immune response may be tolerance or defense against the antigen. In lymph duct cannulation experiments in young pigs, the nutritional uptake of antigens was described (Kiriyama et al. 1988).
Mycotoxins are compounds produced by molds, which are toxic when consumed or inhaled. They differ from other environmental chemical agents in that they are naturally occurring fungal metabolites and are found primarily on moldy grains. Mycotoxins in general are relatively heat-stable and persist as a toxin in cooked and processed foods. They are well recognized as a human health hazard, causing both acute toxicosis and carcinogenesis. Allowable mycotoxin levels in human and animal food products are regulated in most countries. A number of mycotoxins are immu-notoxic to adults and a few are immunotoxic to the developing immune system. Trichothecenes (T-2 and vomitoxin), aflatoxins, and ochratoxin are discussed here.
Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum and is found worldwide as a food contaminant. It is known to cause porcine nephropathy and may be associated with a human kidney disease endemic to the Balkan region (Bondy and Pestka 2000). Mice and rats exposed to ochratoxin A in utero had altered immune responses compared to controls. A single dose of och-ratoxin A (10 to 500 mg kg) to pregnant mice decreased thymic CD4+ and increased thymic CD4+CD8+ lymphocyte populations while suppressing splenic and thymic lymphocyte responses to mitogens in the pups (Thuvander et al. 1996a). In rat pups, thymic weights and cellularity were not affected, but splenic cell mitogen responses were suppressed with maternal exposure to ochratoxin A (Thuvander et al. 1996b).
In adults, exposure to chromium by inhalation, oral or dermal contact can cause skin sensitization and eruptions, urticaria, a chromium-induced asthma, and bron-chospasms accompanied with tripling of plasma histamine levels (U.S. DHHS 2000). Cellular changes include leucocytosis or leucopenia, eosinophilia, monocytosis, and changes in the number and function of alveolar macrophages. Additionally, chromium exposure increases serum immunoglobulin levels and stimulates T cell mitogen responses (U.S. DHHS 2000). Overall, chromium causes a dysregulation of immune function resulting in immunostimulation.
Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites of the fungi genus Aspergillus, particularly A. flavus and A. parasiticus, found predominantly on corn, cornmeal, and other plant products such as nuts. The biologically active aflatoxins are termed AFB1 and AFG1 and are found in grain products AFB1 can be metabolized to another toxic derivative, AFM1, which can be found in animal products including milk (Silvotti et al. 1997). Aflatoxins are lipophilic and disseminate in the fat and other soft tissues. Aflatoxins can depress immune function in humans, pigs, guinea pigs, lambs, chicks, and rats, with altered macrophage function and depressed cell mediated immunity resulting in decreased resistance to disease (Silvotti et al. 1997 Fern ndez et al. 2000 Qe lk et al. 2000 Doi et al. 2002 Theumer et al. 2003).

I'm trying to use an Oculus Go controller to interact with a Unity canvas, and no matter I do I can't get it to work. I've tried searching on Forums and Google and done everything they've said, read through Oculus' developer blog, implemented it. I added the line rendered to see where it's pointing, made sure it's on the right physics layer, have the latest Oculus Utilities.... Every time I think I get somewhere, there's something else that stops me. I've been trying everything I can, could I possibly video chat with someone or something? Just so I could show what's going on, it seems like so much to explain.

Home POSTPARTUM How To Prevent Pregnancy Stretch Marks?
Nobody wants to develop stretch marks on their body, but pregnancy stretch marks are common along with backaches, nausea, frequent urination and fatigue.
75-90 percent of all pregnant women will develop stretch marks in their pregnancy.
Red lines will be appeared during your 6th or 7th month of pregnancy.
Pregnancy stretch marks not only appears on your belly, but also on the other areas that get larger such as upper thighs, breasts, buttocks and also on your arms, depending on how much weight you gain and your genetic history.
Consume a healthy diet in order to nurture your skin. Consume the necessary prenatal vitamins. Take foods in right quantities of calories and also consume the foods high in protein, calcium, whole grains, fruits and vegetables high in vitamins.
Drink plenty of water and also consume fluids frequently as they can keep your body hydrated and preserve elasticity.
Apply moisturizer to your breasts, thighs, belly and anywhere you think you might get pregnancy stretch marks. You can also make your own moisturizer by using the ingredients such as olive oil, cocoa butter and vitamin E cream.
Apply wheat germ oil as it helps you for some extent.
Avoid exposure to sun and tanning booths. Hot showers or cold weather will dry up your skin. Moisturize your skin 2-3 times as you normally do during winter or when you take hot showers.
Apply cocoa butter from a recognized health store. This gives soothing feeling and smells wonderful.
Get regular exercise as it promotes better circulation and improves your overall skin health. More blood means better nutrition for your skin. Better nutrition is healthier for the skin and less likely to develop pregnancy stretch marks.
You need to continue this regimen after your delivery also, until you get your weight back. This helps in preventing the pregnancy stretch marks.
Avoid usage of some high tech pregnancy stretch marks cream. Most of the times you will experience that many well-known brands have the label saying that "This is not for pregnant or nursing women".
You must be careful while you are using lotions to prevent breast stretch marks. Don't allow your baby to ingest all these chemicals.
If you are still bothering about your pregnancy stretch marks once after your delivery, then you need to consult a specialized dermatologist as he may suggest various treatment options.

I am very pleased with my results thus far using the Made from Earth Aloe and Jojoba Cream Therapy. I have been using this daily for 1 month and have seen an improvement in the depth and color of my stretch marks. My stretch marks were a result of rapid growth and weight gain; therefore, did not expect such a noticeable improvement, since most creams are seemingly made for pregnancy/women. I would highly recommend this for everyone and anyone. Have not had as much success with other products.
Stretch marks is one of the most expected things that we can received after or during pregnancy. Its so hard to avoid without doing any thing. Diet, Exercise, Vitamins and a Elasticity Belly Oil are some of the helpful things to prevent stretch mark.

LafargeHolcim swings to profit, aided by cost cuts
Published: March 2, 2017 at 4:48 a.m. ET
ZURICH--LafargeHolcim Ltd., the world's largest building-materials supplier by sales, returned to profit last year despite a drop in revenue, helped by cost cutting and the absence of impairment charges which weighed on the combined performance of component companies Lafarge and Holcim when they merged in 2015.
LafargeHolcim posted net profit of 1.79 billion Swiss francs ($1.81 billion) in the year to Dec. 31, a turnaround from a pro forma net loss of CHF2.12 billion the previous year.
The company, based in Jona, Switzerland, said net sales last year were 26.9 billion francs ($26.6 billion), down 8.7% from the previous year.
The combined group's closely watched operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, rose 13% to CHF5.8 billion.
It was CHF1.6 billion in the fourth quarter, above brokerage house Vontobel's forecast of CHF1.5 billion, on a drop in sales to CHF6.5 billion versus CHF7.4 billion in the same quarter of 2015. That was slightly below the forecast of CHF6.7 billion by analysts at Vontobel.
For 2017, the company said it expects demand to increase between 2% and 4%.

Quick Hitters – Notre Dame (NCAA Tournament – Elite 8)
March 28, 2016 Quick Hitters, UncategorizedBrice Johnson, Demetrius Jackson, Elite 8, Final Four, Isaiah Hicks, Joel Berry, Justin Jackson, Kennedy Meeks, Marcus Paige, Michael Gbinije, Mike Brey, North Carolina, North Carolina Tar Heels, Notre Dame, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Theo Pinson, Tyler Hansbrough, Tyler Lydon, UNC, UNC Basketball, Zach Augusteisaacschade
Quick Hitters from North Carolina's 88-74 win over Notre Dame in the Elite 8:
First off, biggest play of the game was the steal by Theo Pinson with 12:22 left in the game. Although Marcus Paige had just hit a jumper to stop a 12-0 Notre Dame run and put the Tar Heels back in the lead 53-52, the Irish had all the momentum. Theo's steal ignited the bench and things progressed positively from there.
The crucial juncture of the game was the 12-0 Notre Dame run midway through the 2nd half to take a 52-51 lead. Rather than packing it in, the veteran Tar Heels responded in kind, with a 12-0 run of their own and never looked back. All of this run happened with Brice Johnson on the bench, having just picked up fouls 2 & 3 (the latter of which was a technical).
Getting back to Theo Pinson, he provided a huge spark this evening. His stat line was solid, but not overly impressive if you didn't see the game: 6 points on 2-2 shooting, 2 rebounds (both offensive), 4 assists, 1 steal, 0 turnovers. But if you did see the game, you know how important every one of those stats was. Almost all of this stat line came in 2 critical stretches of the 2nd half – all after the Brice Johnson technical. Stretch #1 (12:22-8:37). Situation: Notre Dame has just reeled off the 12-0 run to take the lead and gain momentum. Carolina could fold, or respond. Enter Theo: The 1 steal in the stat line is the aforementioned biggest play of the game at 12:22. Subsequently, although he missed both free throws (which provided the craziest play of the game when Isaiah Hicks had a left-handed tip-in from 5 feet out off the 2nd miss), he drew the 3rd foul on Zach Auguste at 10:57. He then secured his first two points with a lay-up at 10:01 while guarded by the now-saddled-with-3-fouls Zach Auguste who couldn't play aggressive defense. Next, at 9:21, off a beautiful, standard-issue Kennedy Meeks full court outlet pass, Pinson threw a nice alley-oop to Hicks for one of his 4 assists. Then, at 8:40, he corralled an offensive rebound in traffic (with all 5 Notre Dame players surrounding him) and put it back for points 3 and 4. Stretch #2 (2:07-1:39). Situation: The Tar Heels are maintaining a pretty comfortable 10 point cushion, but the game is not out of reach. Enter Theo: At 2:07, Justin Jackson snags an offensive rebound and kicks it back out to a wide-open Pinson at the top of the key. Pause. Syracuse was in the exact same situation just a few hours earlier. Up 6, Tyler Lydon got an offensive rebound and kicked it out to a wide-open Michael Gbinije at the top of the key. He promptly fired a 3. With a fresh 30 on the shot clock. Up 6. With 2:37 to in the Elite 8. Would Theo suffer the same fate? No, he pulled the ball out, found Berry and the Tar Heels ran clock until the Irish decided it was time to start fouling. At 1:54, Justin Jackson missed the front end of a 1-and-1 and Theo had a tip-out to Joel Berry for offensive rebound number 2. To wrap up stretch #2, Pinson was fouled at 1:39 and sank both free throws in a 1-and-1 situation to give Carolina a 12 point lead. Mr. Theo Pinson earned his trip to the press conference on this night.
With 25 points and 12 rebounds tonight, Brice Johnson broke a record and tied a record. The double-double was his 23rd of the season and is the most by a Tar Heel in one season. The 12 rebounds gives him 399 on the season, which places Brice in a tie with Tyler Hansbrough's 2007-08 season for the most by a Tar Heel in one season. Should Brice secure 1 rebound against Syracuse he would hold the single-season rebound record and be the only Tar Heel to ever get 400 in a season.
At this point, I'm convinced Marcus Paige was sandbagging all season. In all seriousness, so glad for Marcus and the re-start that the tournament has allowed him.
Coming into the game this Tar Heel team had the best assist-to-turnover ratio and the lowest turnovers per game average of any Tar Heel team since turnovers were first recorded in 1981-82. Carolina only had 6 turnovers tonight (versus 17 assists), so both those numbers should continue to improve.
Big play when Demetrius Jackson hurt his ankle. He was clearly at least somewhat hobbled and Joel Berry was able to take advantage on several drives to the hoop.
This is the first time I remember seeing Brice's emotions affect the game in such a monumental way. Getting a 2nd foul was no big deal, but the subsequent technical foul (& therefore 3rd personal) which sent him to the bench really hurt. It was in the middle of the Notre Dame 12-0 run and could have potentially effectively ended the North Carolina men's basketball season. Fortunately, his teammates picked him up and it didn't end up hurting. Brice was quick to take the blame at the top of the press conference.
Another solid game from Kennedy Meeks. Although he only played 15 minutes, he scored 10 points on 4-4 shooting and hit both free throws he shot.
The "burn" offense. Great tactic from Mike Brey. Certainly a source of frustration for the Heels in the 1st Also allowed the Irish to stay in the game while Zach Auguste was on the bench in foul trouble. All the same, for the most part, the Heels showed great defensive patience and stayed dialed in for the full shot clock. I should also say, I'm not sure Notre Dame was still using this tactic down 12 with 5 minutes to go. I think they should have abandoned this approach much sooner than they did, but that's why they pay Mike Brey and not Isaac Schade.
Tonight, the Irish had the highest FG% (55.1%) against the Tar Heels all season. Previous to this, the Heels had held 28 straight opponents under 45%. This was only the 2nd time all season a team has shot over 50% against Carolina.
Hats off to Notre Dame. Back-to-back Elite 8s. Came in with a great game plan tonight and executed it. They are a classy program, who works hard and plays the game well. Certainly going to miss watching the departing players in the ACC.
ACC Home Stretch
February 27, 2016 SchedulesACC, College Basketball, Duke, Louisville, Miami, Notre Dame, Schedules, UNC, Virginiaisaacschade
Here we go. The penultimate Saturday of the ACC college basketball regular season. The top 6 teams are all ranked. The top 6 teams all have 3 conference games remaining. The top 6 teams are separated by only 2 games. This is fun.
Here's the pecking order heading into the weekend action:
UNC (12-3)
Miami (11-4)
Louisville (11-4)
Virginia (10-5)
Duke (10-5)
Notre Dame (10-5)
Each team has a game this weekend (Duke plays Sunday while the other 5 teams play Saturday), and 4 of the 6 play each other. UNC travels to Virginia while Louisville heads to Miami.
Each of the top 6 then has a game at some point during the week.
Finally, on the last Saturday of the regular season, all 6 top ACC teams are back in action with (once again) 4 of the top 6 playing each other. UNC makes the short trip to Cameron Indoor while Louisville and their self-imposed ban will play their final game of the season at Virginia.
Did I mention that this is fun?
Here's the kicker: there are 5 remaining games between these top 6 teams, which means there are 5 guaranteed remaining losses amongst them. The head-to-head games are:
Louisville @ Miami (2.27)
UNC @ Virginia (2.27)
Miami @ Notre Dame (3.2)
Louisville @ Virginia (3.5)
UNC @ Duke (3.5)
Suffice it to say, there is much to be decided in the final week of ACC regular season action. The regular season championship is on the line (which, along with pride, is the only thing on the line for Louisville). Conference tournament seeding is on the line (remember, the top 4 teams all get a double bye). NCAA tournament seeding is on the line. It should be a great last week of conference games.
Oh, by the way, this is fun.
For reference sake, here are the remaining schedules of the current top 6 ACC schools:
@ Virginia (2.27)
Syracuse (2.29)
@ Duke (3.5)
Louisville (2.27)
@ Notre Dame (3.2)
@ VT (3.5)
@ Miami (2.27)
GT (3.1)
@ Virginia (3.5)
UNC (2.27)
@ Clemson (3.1)
Louisville (3.5)
@ Pitt (2.28)
Wake (3.1)
UNC (3.5)
@ FSU (2.27)
Miami (3.2)
NC St. (3.5)


There's no doubt in my mind that Christmas is a special time of the year. I always look forward to this time of celebration. I work through my schedule so that I have time available to be with family and friends to reminisce, to chill, to share, to laugh, to cry and to wonder why. It's a time when I take time out from my busy life to reflect on the past year, my achievements and those things still languishing on the back burner and wonder if they'll ever come out into the light.
What I also love about Christmas is the energy I see around me. When I go shopping, the sparkle of anticipation in people's eyes as they choose gifts for their loved ones and friends, sends goose bumps down my spine. Yes, there's tiredness in their eyes, too, after a year of toil, but it's the love that's shining up from way down in their hearts that encourages me, leaving me with overhwelming tears of joy that yes, people really do care about each other. How about you, do you feel the power and energy of Christmas? I take this opportunity to wish all my readers a happy and spirit-filled Christmas, and I hope 2013 is a time of discovery and wonder in everything you do. Love to you all, Laura.

The Mothership Project aims to support parenting artists in the development of their practice and to encourage arts organisations to make the art world a more inclusive place for artists with children.
IMMA welcomes back The Mothership Project as part of a series of short studio research supports provided to the network over the last couple of years. The Mothership Project aims to support parenting artists in the development of their practice and to encourage arts organisations to make the art world a more inclusive place for artists with children. Since 2013 The Mothership Project has hosted workshops and discussions on issues facing parenting artists in Ireland. Having spent time in IMMA in May and June 2017, running events and hosting meetings, the Motherships next step was to apply for Arts Council funding for the The Satellite Project.
The Satellite Project has three phases: in spring 2018 The Mothership project conducted a survey to gather information on the experiences of parenting artists and arts workers in the visual arts in ireland.
In autumn 2018, in collaboration with Cow House Studios, and with funding from Wexford County Council Arts Office, The Mothership Project ran a pilot artists residency programme giving 15 parenting artists supported time and space to develop their practice. Most importantly the residency offered childcare, catering and accommodation on-site for the artists, their children and their partners.
The time spent at IMMA in early 2019 is focused on gathering the outcomes of both the survey and the artists residencies at Cow House Studios to produce a publication that highlights the findings of this research and pilot project.

No Progress To Ending Partial Government Shutdown As Stalemate Continues
President Barack Obama gestures while speaking in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013, to talk about the government shutdown. Congress plunged the nation into a partial government shutdown Tuesday as a protracted dispute over Obama's signature health care law reached a boiling point, forcing some 800,000 federal workers off the job. (AP Photo/ Evan Vucci) (AP2013)
Washington – From informational websites to national parks to processing veterans' claims, the political stare-down on Capitol Hill shows no signs of easing, leaving federal government functions in limbo from coast to coast. Lawmakers in both parties ominously suggested the partial shutdown might last for weeks.
A funding cutoff for much of the government began Tuesday as a Republican effort to kill or delay the nation's health care law stalled action on a short-term, traditionally routine spending bill. Republicans pivoted to a strategy to try to reopen the government piecemeal but were unable to immediately advance the idea in the House.
National parks like Yellowstone and Alcatraz Island were shuttered, government websites went dark and hundreds of thousands of nonessential workers reported for a half-day to fill out time cards, hand in their government cellphones and laptops, and change voicemail messages to gird for a deepening shutdown.
The Defense Department said it wasn't clear that service academies would be able to participate in sports, putting Saturday's Army vs. Boston College and Air Force vs. Navy football games on hold, with a decision to be made Thursday.
And the White House said Wednesday that President Barack Obama would have to truncate a long-planned trip to Asia, calling off the final two stops in Malaysia and the Philippines.
It's untenable not to negotiate...I've always believed it was the debt limit that would be the forcing action.
— House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis
Even as many government agencies closed their doors, health insurance exchanges that are at the core of Obama's health care law were up and running, taking applications for coverage that would start Jan. 1.
"Shutting down our government doesn't accomplish their stated goal," Obama said of his Republican opponents at a Rose Garden event hailing implementation of the law. "The Affordable Care Act is a law that passed the House; it passed the Senate. The Supreme Court ruled it constitutional. It was a central issue in last year's election. It is settled, and it is here to stay. And because of its funding sources, it's not impacted by a government shutdown."
GOP leaders faulted the Senate for killing a House request to open official negotiations on the temporary spending bill. Senate Democrats led by Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada insist that Republicans give in and pass their simple, straightforward temporary funding bill, known as a continuing resolution.
"None of us want to be in a shutdown. And we're here to say to the Senate Democrats, 'Come and talk to us,'" House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said as GOP lawmakers designated to negotiate the shutdown legislation met among themselves before cameras and reporters. "At each and every turn, the Senate Democrats refused to even discuss these proposals."
In an op-ed in Wednesday's USA Today, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote: "As for House Republicans, we will continue our efforts to keep the government running and deal honestly with the problems we face. We hope that Senate Democrats — and President Obama — change course and start working with us on behalf of the American people."
Late Tuesday, House Republicans sought passage of legislation aimed at reopening small slices of the government. The bills covered the national parks, the Veterans Affairs Department and city services in Washington, D.C., such as garbage collection funded with local tax revenues.
The move presented Democrats with politically challenging votes but they rejected the idea, saying it was unfair to pick winners and losers as federal employees worked without a guarantee of getting paid and the effects of the partial shutdown rippled through the country and the economy. The White House promised a veto.
Since the measures were brought before the House under expedited procedures requiring a two-thirds vote to pass, House Democrats scuttled them, despite an impassioned plea by Democratic D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who recalled that in the last shutdown 17 years ago she prevailed on House Speaker Newt Gingrich to win an exemption to keep the D.C. government running.
"I must support this piecemeal approach," Norton said. "What would you do if your local budget was here?"
But other Democrats said Republicans shouldn't be permitted to choose which agencies should open and which remain shut.
"This piecemeal approach will only prolong a shutdown," Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., said.
Republicans said there could be more votes Wednesday, perhaps to allow the National Institutes of Health to continue pediatric cancer research. The NIH's famed hospital of last resort wasn't admitting new patients because of the shutdown. Dr. Francis Collins, agency director, estimated that each week the shutdown lasts would force the facility to turn away about 200 patients, 30 of them children, who want to enroll in studies of experimental treatments. Patients already at the hospital are permitted to stay.
Republicans also said the House may vote anew on the three measures that failed Tuesday, this time under normal rules requiring a simple majority to pass.
Republicans hoped such votes would create pressure on Democrats to drop their insistence that they won't negotiate on the spending bill or an even more important subsequent measure, required in a couple of weeks or so, to increase the government's borrowing limit.
There were suggestions from leaders in both parties that the shutdown could last for weeks and grow to encompass the measure to increase the debt limit. "This is now all together," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said.
"It's untenable not to negotiate," House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said. "I've always believed it was the debt limit that would be the forcing action."
While GOP leaders seemed determined to press on, some Republicans conceded they might bear the brunt of any public anger over the shutdown — and seemed resigned to an eventual surrender in their latest bruising struggle with Obama.
Democrats have "all the leverage and we've got none," Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said.
Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia said it was time to pass legislation reopening the government without any health care impediments.
"The shutdown is hurting my district — including the military and the hardworking men and women who have been furloughed due to the defense sequester," he said.
But that was far from the majority view among House Republicans, where tea party-aligned lawmakers prevailed more than a week ago on a reluctant leadership to link federal funding legislation to the health care law. In fact, some conservatives fretted the GOP had already given in too much.

Q: Show that binary < "less than" relation is not definable on set of Natural Numbers with successor function After reading about the question, I've come to believe that it would suffice to exhibit and automorphism of  that is not order preserving. However, I'm unsure of how to construct such an automorphism, and am a bit uncertain if my approach is sound. Any guidance would be appreciated.
The exact question reads: Let $\mathcal{N} = ⟨\Bbb{N},S,0⟩$ where $\Bbb{N} = \{0,1,2,\cdots\}$ and $S$ is the successor function. Show that the binary relation $\{⟨a, b⟩:a, b ∈ \Bbb{N} \land a < b\}$ is not definable over $\Bbb{N}$.

A: Suppose that $\varphi ( x , y )$ is a first-order formula defining the relation $<$ in $\mathcal{N} = ( \mathbb{N} , S , 0 )$; that is $$\mathcal{N} \models \varphi ( m,n ) \quad\Leftrightarrow\quad m < n.$$  Note that if $\mathcal{M}$ is any elementary extension of $\mathcal{N}$ it must be that $\varphi (x,y)$ defines a strict total (linear) order on the universe of $\mathcal{M}$. Consider the structure $\mathcal{M} = ( M , s , 0 )$ where

*

*$M = \mathbb{N} \cup ( \mathbb{Z} \times \{ 0 , 1 \} )$;

*$s(m) = m+1$; $s(m,i) = (m+1,i)$.

Then $\mathcal{M}$ is an elementary extension of $\mathcal{N}$.  Let $a_0 = (0,0)$ and $a_1 = (0,1)$.  As $\varphi$ defines a strict total order on $M$ we may assume without loss of generality that $$\mathcal{M} \models \varphi ( a_0 , a_1 ).$$
Consider the following function $\sigma : M \to M$:

*

*$\sigma ( m ) = m$; and

*$\sigma ( m , i ) = ( m , 1-i )$ (i.e., $\sigma$ switches the two disjoint copies of $\mathbb{Z}$).

It is quite easy to show that $\sigma$ is an automorphism of $\mathcal{M}$, and therefore $$\mathcal{M} \models \varphi ( \sigma(a_0) , \sigma(a_1) ).$$  But as $\sigma ( a_0 ) = a_1$ and $\sigma ( a_1 ) = a_0$ we have that $$\mathcal{M} \models \varphi ( a_1 , a_0 ),$$  contradicting the fact that $\varphi$ defines a strict total order on $M$!

Uneven concrete surfaces are very common in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri. They can be seen everywhere, in homes, businesses and public sidewalks. Concrete surfaces may start off smooth and flawless, but over time they become cracked and uneven and may require concrete leveling. There are several reasons why this occurs, but the most common are due to some sort of ground movement.
Pro Foundation Tech specializes in residential and commercial concrete leveling for concrete surfaces. We repair slabs, pools, sidewalks, foundations, steep, stoops, driveways, garage slabs, and other concrete surfaces. Repairing your existing slab is less expensive than replacing it.
At Pro Foundation Tech, our mission is to help you save time and money. That's why we are the concrete leveling specialist in the Kansas City area.
Tree roots: Tree roots can grow beneath the concrete surface. As they continue to grow, they push up the concrete surface. This causes an uneven or sunken concrete surface.
Soil erosion: Too much rainwater saturates the soil and surrounds the concrete surface. The soil erodes away and creates voids under the slab.
If you notice cracking or unleveled concrete, contact our experts so we can inspect your concrete. We offer the best concrete leveling solutions for residents in the Kansas City area. We use the latest repair products by Earth Contact Products to get your concrete leveled back to its original position without replacing it.
Concrete leveling is a process that involves injecting high-density polyurethane foam into the affected surface. A small 5/8″ hole is drilled into the concrete. The foam expands and moves beneath the concrete. As it expands, it fills in all the voids and gaps. The foam contours to the size and shape of the voids.
Leveling concrete surfaces at your home or business prevents trips and falls and potential lawsuits. It also increase the curb appeal of your property. For top quality concrete leveling services, consider the concrete contractor specialists at Pro Foundation Technology. We proudly serve cities in both Kansas and Missouri, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Columbia, Springfield, and Marshall. The professionals at Pro Foundation Tech can give you a free, detailed estimate. For all of your concrete leveling needs, contact PFT.


Like insulin, glucagon is a protein hormone produced in the pancreas. It is a counterbalance to insulin.
Approximately four to six hours after you eat, the glucose levels in your blood become reduced. This triggers the production of glucagon in the pancreas. When the pancreas secretes glucagon, it suppresses insulin.
Glucagon signals the liver and muscles to break down glycogen into glucose and release glucose back into your bloodstream. This keeps your blood sugar levels from dipping too low.
Although secreted by the pancreas, glucagon directly impacts the liver as it works to control blood sugar levels. Specifically, glucagon prevents blood glucose levels from dropping to a dangerous point.
It does this first by stimulating the conversion of stored glycogen to glucose in the liver. This glucose can be released into the bloodstream, a process known as glycogenolysis.
In each of these processes, glucagon and insulin work together.
Insulin will prevent glucose levels from increasing to a point that is too high, while glucagon prevents it from dropping too low.
Glucagon production is stimulated when an individual eats a protein-rich meal, experiences a surge in adrenaline, or has a low blood sugar event.


We did a little test of the Big List generator with CP. Comments, questions and ideas requested.
[manfred] OK... let's give it a stab. 10 random skills.
[manfred] If you want to.
[CaptainPenguin] Umm, so wait, what am I supposed to do with it?
[manfred] Whatever you can think of, dear CP.
[manfred] There is bribery and barter, let's say there is smuggling.
[CaptainPenguin] * CaptainPenguin is confused. His brain feels very tired right now.
[manfred] Smuggling weapons of unknown source, hence weapon lore and investigation.
[manfred] An exotic suppressed minority is the reciever of these weapons.
[manfred] They use it for... hunting?
[manfred] So there is a spree of ritual murders, people hunted down by this unknown people.
[manfred] They use a strange weapon, possibly outlawed, brought into the city/setting by smugglers.
[manfred] Investigation centers on the mysterious hunters, and smugglers that supply them with weapons.
[manfred] But why would they need so many?
[manfred] Add ritual context: leave weapon at crime scene.
[manfred] Plus maybe a part of them is destroyed by other means, tested and considered unworthy, etc.
[CaptainPenguin] They make their murder-sacrafice, but the ritual is such that it causes the weapon to be shattered to pieces.
[manfred] But those will do, too.
[CaptainPenguin] So they need a new weapon for every killing, specially prepared in their homeland.
[manfred] Ahh... so more investigation/puzzling if you find not the whole weapon but its shattered pieces.
[CaptainPenguin] Perhaps the weapons, by their nature or shape, are fragile, or perhaps they are made to break.
[manfred] There you go: a plot hook.
[manfred] And, that's how the generator is supposed to be used.
[manfred] Take a few random elements, make some sense of them if possible, discard the rest.


McGill University kicked off its first-ever Well Week by announcing a partnership with The Rossy Foundation that will transform its approach to student wellness and mental health. As part of the Rossy Student Wellness Hub initiative, Wellness Advisor Shrabani Debroy has joined the Faculty of Law to promote mental health awareness and support early intervention within the student community.
I completed both my Bachelor degree in Psychology and Master's in Counselling Psychology at McGill University. I was previously working as a clinical crisis counsellor where I helped people with a variety of issues (anything ranging from "my kid won't listen to me" to "I just escaped a mass shooting"). I was also in charge of training clinicians on online therapy modalities, so I have experience providing counselling in person, over the phone, and via chat.
During my undergrad, I worked as a research assistant in several research labs. I was obsessed with positive psychology and wanted to maximize my knowledge on what makes humans flourish. I also interned as a counsellor at Concordia University's Counselling and Psychological Services, and I enjoy using strength and evidence-based frameworks, such as cognitive behavioral interventions. My work at Concordia and McGill confirmed that my favorite population to work with is the university student population, so I feel super grateful to be working in my dream job setting where I get to be a mental health clinician and an educator!
What is your role as Local Wellness Advisor at the Faculty of Law? What kind of support will you provide to law students?
The Local Wellness Advisor (LWA) roles were developed as part of the Rossy Student Wellness Hub initiative. Very briefly, we are in the process of creating a physical "one-stop" location, referred to as the Rossy Wellness Hub, where students can get help for their physical and psychological health needs. Counselling Services, Psychiatric Services, and Health Services will all be found under this hub, and this should facilitate the access of services.
In addition to this new centralized location, us LWAs (pronounced El-WA; a very funny sounding acronym) are located in strategic locations where students live and study. As such, my mandate at the Faculty of Law is "prevention, early intervention, and awareness". More concretely, this means our roles are three-fold: we are here to offer programming tailored to students' needs (i.e., holding workshops/info-sessions on relevant mental health related topics); we will provide one-on-one sessions to develop wellness plans with students (this starts in May) and can refer them to adapted resources and services. Lastly, we are also available for staff or faculty who may need to consult with us regarding sensitive issues with students.
In more general terms, we act as liaison between our respective faculties and the hub, and we are also wellness ambassadors and experts on all the different resources available. I'm excited to be part of this new McGill-wide project, which is re-inventing how we approach health and wellness on campus. This interdisciplinary, collaborative model of care really resonates with me.
What is your philosophy on wellness?
Wellness is definitely one of those psychological terms difficult to define operationally. To me, it is multidimensional, and it's different for everyone, given that it is informed by our own unique beliefs, values, and definitions. Generally speaking, I think wellness can be described as having this subjective sense of well-being and life satisfaction. It is not an "absence of illness or stress" because we can still aim to remain "well" even when we're confronted with adversities (I'm not sure anyone can completely avoid those).
McGill University uses the "Wellness Wheel" model consisting of the following parts: social, cultural, spiritual, academic, career, physical, financial, and emotional health. We all may give different levels of importance to each of those aspects of wellbeing, and that's okay, but usually most of us do better when there's a good level of balance between these interrelated parts. Wellness to me is about doing our best to improve all the significant areas of our lives so that we can constantly grow and feel fulfilled.
Ms Debroy can be reached by phone 514-398-3424 or by email. Her office is located on the 4th floor of New Chancellor Day Hall.


Is is a well known fact in the area that the Yemen Soccer Club commands the greatest "home field advantage" in Western New York. On any given game day, the number of spectators may exceed 100 individuals, especially on gameday for the mens team, providing an exciting "European" type atmosphere that one may truely enjoy. Some people may refer to the field at Lehigh road as the "cage", due to the fact that the field is partially surrounded by an quite intimidating 12 ft high aqua colored fence. It is definitely an experience you wont forget.

Kingcrow ist eine italienische Progressive-Rock- und Metal-Band aus Rom, die im Jahr 1996 unter dem Namen Earth Shaker gegründet wurde.

Geschichte
Die Band wurde im Jahr 1996 von Gitarrist Diego Cafolla und Schlagzeuger Manuel Thundra Cafolla unter dem Namen Earth Shaker gegründet. Inspiriert durch ein Gedicht von Edgar Allan Poe benannte sich die Band bald in Kingcrow um. Zusammen mit Sänger Stefano Tissi veröffentlichten sie im Jahr 1997 das Demo Eyes of Memories. Das zweite Demo Hurricane's Eye wurde im Jahr 2000 veröffentlicht. Im Jahr 2001 veröffentlichte die Band das Debütalbum Something Unknown. Im selben Jahr stieß außerdem Ivan Nastasi als Gitarrist zur Band. Im Jahr 2002 wurde Sänger Tissi durch Mauro Gelsomini ersetzt. Im Juni 2003 nahm die Band ein weiteres Demo namens Matzmariels auf, dem im Folgejahr das Album Insider folgte.

In den Jahren 2004 und 2005 errichtete die Band ihr eigenes Aufnahmestudio in Rom. Die Band nahm das Album Timetropia auf und veröffentlichte es im Jahr 2006 über Lucretia Records weltweit. In den Jahren 2007 und 2008 folgten diverse Live-Auftritte zusammen mit dem neuen Bassisten Angelo Orlando. Die Band spielte dabei unter anderem auch auf dem Gods of Metal zusammen mit Iron Maiden und Judas Priest.

Im Februar 2009, während der Aufnahmen zum neuen Album Phlegethon, stieß Bassist Francesco D'Errico zur Band. Außerdem verließ Sänger Gelsomini die Band und wurde durch Diego Marchesi ersetzt.

Im Jahr 2010 veröffentlichte die Band das Album über Scarlet Records.

Stil
Die Band spielt klassischen Progressive Metal, wobei die Stücke sehr abwechslungsreich gehalten sind. Die Musik dabei erinnert stellenweise an die Werke der Band Tool.

Heel pain is a condition that aggravates many people. Causes of heel pain can vary, with the most common culprit being plantar fasciitis. People suffering from heel pain can benefit from simple yoga techniques to ease tightness and pain. The soles of the feet can be massaged upon waking in the morning prior before walking to help ease the muscles. Sitting in the virasana position with the knees bent and the heels next to the hips can allow the muscles in the soles of the feet to relax.
Anyone can wind up suffering from heel pain. If your heel is hurting consult with Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein will attend to all of your foot and ankle needs.
To keep flip-flops from ruining the feet, experts from Today Health shared several tips. Avoid driving in flip-flops, as they can slip off the feet and become a hazard to your safety. Invest in flip-flops of a quality material. Flip-flops should be replaced every few months to offer optimal support. Watch where you walk while wearing flip-flops, as they offer little to no protection against broken glass.
Wearing the wrong pair of flip-flops can be harmful for the feet. To learn more, speak to Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.
With the summer months approaching, many people often make flip flops or sandals their choice of footwear. Open footwear, however, allows the feet to be exposed to situations that involve friction, sun exposure, or even sand. To protect the feet from harsh summer environments and prevent rough heels and callus or corn formation, ensure that the feet are supported with arch supports and are properly moisturized. Keep the feet manicured and supported.
Morton's neuroma can be a difficult condition to contend with. If you are experiencing symptoms of Morton's Neuroma, speak to Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein will can diagnose and treat your feet accordingly.
If you have any concerns about barefoot running, contact Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein will treat your foot and ankle needs.
While walking is an activity and exercise that comes naturally, many people are prone to developing detrimental walking habits that can lead to problems. To promote proper walking technique, ensure that your shoes provide enough support but allow your feet to "breathe", walk with the head up and back straight, start on even ground and work up to hills later, and cool down after walking. Stretching exercises and walking at a slower pace are great ways to cool down.
Stress fractures can become painful if left untreated for an extended period of time. If you would like assistance in treating a stress fracture, consult with Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein can determine the severity of your condition and provide you with quality care.
Full recovery is much more difficult if one continues to play sports with a foot or ankle injury. If you would like assistance with an injury, see Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein will assess your injury and provide you with a quality treatment plan.
Over 100 students from Marshall and Mellichamp elementary schools in Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5 received new shoes and socks thanks to the Orangeburg Rotary Lunch Club's "Happy Feet" program.
Ladson Beach, president of the Orangeburg Rotary Lunch Club, shared, "This is one of the most rewarding projects that we have. We were able to help local kids in need, many of whom have never had a new pair of shoes. It's just a very rewarding thing for our club to do." Last year, the Rotary was able to fit 75 children with shoes and socks. This year, 150 children were given new shoes and socks.
Making sure that your child has the proper foot health is important as they grow up. If you have any questions contact Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein will treat your child's foot and ankle needs.
All experts agree that when shopping for running shoes, it's best to go to a store that specializes in running. Experts at one such store, Fleet Feet, know the shoes, know what the fit is, and can observe the biomechanics of their customers to make sure they're getting fit for the right footwear. Kristen Waddell of Fleet Feet says, "We're going to get you down to two bare feet.
If you are a runner, wearing the right running shoe is essential. For more information, see Dr. Ian Klein, D.P.M. of Florida. Dr. Klein can assess your foot and ankle needs.
