The parents of the young girl stated that their obstetrician, an anesthesiologist and a nurse were negligent for not properly monitoring and managing the mother's labor. This ultimately resulted in a delayed C-section, which in turn caused severe and permanent neurological injuries to the baby because she was deprived of oxygen.
The baby was 6 years old when the case went to court and the mother provided testimony that the child could not crawl (only wiggle and kick her feet), feed herself (she is intubated to be fed), speak or walk and that she would be in diapers her whole life. The child's assessed cognitive age was set at between two and three months. The girl was diagnosed with permanent brain damage, cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia and developmental retardation. She couldn't hear very well and had regular seizures. The pediatric expert witness at trial said no improvement is expected and that she may live until the age of 28 years old.
"The defense in this case tried in another state insisted the condition happened due to a prior in utero event that was so severe that earlier delivery wouldn't have made any difference. While that may be hard to believe that something so drastic would have happened without the mother knowing, it was what the defense argued. In the final analysis, the jury found the doctor negligent and that her negligence was a significant factor that caused the baby's injuries," Ozcomert said.
"Here's where things got a bit hazy as to reasoning for the award. The child was awarded $3,807,832 for future life care expenses, zero for the loss of future earning capacity and $150,000 for her pain and suffering and disability. The parents were awarded $527,284 for past expenses and $150,000 for past and future loss of their child's companionship and society. These are very low awards, and both sides appealed," Ozcomert said.
On appeal, the court agreed with the parents that the damage award was unreasonably low and shocking and a new trial was ordered. The child in this case is effectively frozen in time and unable to move forward and will never be more than an infant. The $150,000 award(s) were painfully low and abhorrent, as was the jury decision to not award money for lost earnings, according to Ozcomert. The new trial is yet to be scheduled.
"This type of case happens more often than you might think and in situations like this, it's vital to have a skilled Atlanta personal injury lawyer handle your case. The family will need maximum compensation to care for their child. It's just that simple and obvious. If you are in a situation like this and your child has been injured due to medical malpractice, you will have questions about your case. If you choose to call my office, I would be happy to explain the law to you and what your rights are," Ozcomert said.

Posted Thu Aug 4, 2016 at 10:00 AM PDT by Tom Landy
The dramatic comedy starring Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne is headed for Blu-ray in September.
In an early announcement to retailers, Sony is preparing to release 'The Meddler' on Blu-ray on September 6.
With a new iPhone, an apartment near the Grove, and a comfortable bank account left to her by her beloved late husband, Marnie Minervini (Susan Sarandon) has happily relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to be near her daughter Lori (Rose Byrne), a successful but still single screenwriter, and smother her with motherly love. But when the dozens of texts, unexpected visits, and conversations dominated by unsolicited advice force Lori to draw strict personal boundaries, Marnie finds ways to channel her eternal optimism and forceful generosity to change the lives of others - as well as her own - and find a new purpose in life.
Specs haven't been revealed yet, but supplements include: Audio Commentary with Susan Sarandon and Director Lorene Scafaria; The 'Real' Marnie; The Making of The Meddler; and Gag Reel.

The 1924 Summer Olympics (French: Les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1924), officially known as the Games of the VIII Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event which was celebrated in 1924 in Paris, France.
It was the second time Paris hosted the games, after 1900. The selection process for the 1924 Summer Olympics consisted of six bids, and Paris was selected ahead of Amsterdam, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Prague, and Rome. The selection was made at the 20th IOC Session in Lausanne in 1921.
The cost of the Games of the VIII Olympiad was estimated to be 10,000,000₣. With total receipts at 5,496,610₣, the Olympics resulted in a hefty loss despite crowds that reached 60,000 people at a time.
The opening ceremony and several sporting events took place in the Olympic Stadium of Colombes, which had a capacity of 45,000 in 1924.
This VIII Olympiad was the last one organised under the presidency of Pierre de Coubertin.
The "Flying Finns" dominated the long distance running, while the British and Americans dominated the shorter events. Paavo Nurmi won the 1500 m and 5,000 m (which were held with only an hour between them) and the cross country run. Ville Ritola won the 10,000 m and the 3,000 m steeplechase, while finishing second to Nurmi on the 5,000 m and cross country. Albin Stenroos won the marathon, while the Finnish team (with Nurmi and Ritola) was victorious in the 3,000 m and cross country team events.
British runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell won the 100 m and 400 m events, respectively. Their stories are depicted in the 1981 movie Chariots of Fire. In addition, Douglas Lowe won the 800 m competition.
The marathon distance was fixed at 42.195 km (26.219 mi), from the distance run at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.
The 1924 Olympics were the first to use the standard 50 m pool with marked lanes.
Swimmer Johnny Weissmuller won three gold medals in swimming and one bronze in water polo.
Harold Osborn won gold medals and set Olympic records in both the high jump and the decathlon at the 1924 Olympics. His 6' 6" high jump remained the Olympic record for 12 years, while his decathlon score of 7,710.775 points also set a world record and resulted in worldwide press coverage calling him the "world's greatest athlete".
Fencer Roger Ducret of France won five medals, of which three were gold.
In gymnastics, 24 men scored a perfect 10. Twenty-three of them scored it in the now-discontinued event of rope climbing. Albert Seguin scored a 10 here and also a perfect 10 on side vault.
Unexpectedly, the national team of Uruguay won the gold medal in football.
The Olympic motto Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger) was used for the first time at the Olympics. It had been used before by the Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques, a French sporting federation whose founding members included Pierre de Coubertin. De Coubertin took the motto from his friend Henri Didon, a Dominican priest who had coined during a speech before a Paris youth gathering of 1891.
Ireland was given formal recognition as an independent nation in the Olympic Movement in Paris in 1924, and it was at these games that Ireland made its first appearance in an Olympic Games as an independent nation.
These were the first Games to feature an Olympic Village.
The Art competitions at the 1924 Summer Olympics were the first time that the Olympic Art competitions were contested seriously, with 193 entries in five categories. A total of 14 medals were awarded, though none were given in the music category.
126 events in 23 disciplines, comprising 17 sports, were part of the Olympic program in 1924. The number of events in each discipline is noted in parentheses.
Seventeen sports venues were used in the 1924 Summer Olympics. Stade de Colombes served as the final venue for the 1938 FIFA World Cup between Italy and Hungary.
A total of 44 nations were represented at the 1924 Games. Germany was still absent, having not been invited by the Organizing Committee. China (although did not compete), Ecuador, Haiti, Ireland, Lithuania, and Uruguay attended the Olympic Games for the first time while the Philippines competed for first time in an Olympic Games as a nation though it first participated in 1900 Summer Olympic Games also in this city. Latvia and Poland attended the Summer Olympic Games for the first time (having both appeared earlier at the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix).
China, also took part in the Opening Ceremony, but its four athletes (all tennis players) withdrew from competition.
These are the top ten nations that won medals the 1924 Games.
Pierre de Coubertin—founder of the IOC & father of the modern Olympics movement—personally awarded 21 Gold medals to members of the 1922 British Mount Everest Expedition including 12 Britons, 7 Indians, 1 Australian and 1 Nepalese.
The 1924 Summer Olympics are the last edition of the Summer Olympics to be held in Paris. One hundred years later, the city will host the 2024 Summer Olympics, marking the third time the city hosts the games. One venue from the 1924 Games is slated to be used in 2024. The extensively renovated and downsized main stadium, known since 1928 as Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir, will host field hockey.
The last surviving competitor of the 1924 Summer Olympics was Croatian swimmer Ivo Pavelić, who died on 22 February 2011 at the age of 103.

What the pool boy knew: Tell-all documentary reveals more about scandal over former Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr
Fri Oct 14 2022 by Tola Mbakwe
A man who said he had an affair with the wife of the former president of Liberty University has shared his side of the story in a new documentary.
Giancarllo Granda, who met Jerry Falwell Jr and Becki Falwell while working as a hotel pool attendant in Miami, Florida, accused them of being hypocrites.
He claimed he had no idea they were linked to the large Christian university in Lynchburg, Virginia, and if he knew that the fallout of the affair would be huge, he would have rejected Becki's invitation to a hotel room.
"They have a public image, but behind the scenes, they're freaks," he said in the newly released trailer for God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty.
He first spoke out about the affair with Becki in August 2020, claiming Jerry Jr knew about it and was involved.
"In lust we trust." Our new documentary #GodForbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty about power, hypocrisy, the president of the world's largest Christian university, Jerry Falwell Jr., his wife, and a one-time Miami Beach pool boy premieres November 1st only on @hulu pic.twitter.com/u1zrHXUAgB
— Billy Corben (@BillyCorben) October 12, 2022
Just a day before more details on the situation were published, Jerry Jr released a statement to the Washington Examiner in which he admitted that his wife had developed a relationship with the former business associate. However, Jerry Jr insisted that he was not personally involved.
Jerry Jr also alleged that Granda had attempted to extort and blackmail him over the affair and had threatened to "deliberately embarrass my wife, family, and Liberty University".
Jerry Jr resigned after the revelation of the affair and a number of other accusations involving how he led Liberty University.
He also sued the university for defamation, claiming the school sided with Granda. He eventually dropped the lawsuit.
The documentary premiers on Hulu on 1st November.

The first of the Busway Sprints series went extremely well last night. About 30 cyclists showed up and 20 raced. The South-Dade Busway proved to be an excellent location for the sprints. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We used single-elimination brackets, though next time we will be using double-elimination and speed up the intervals between sprints. Also, the last minute move to 117 St bustop (across from Whole Foods) worked out for the best, this will be the spot for all forthcoming Busway Sprints.
A few of the riders went to Betty's Best Burgers after the race. They allowed everyone to bring their bikes inside which I thought was pretty cool.

Are Jews particularly likely to embrace new forms of artistic expression? The ongoing coverage of collections looted by the Nazis strongly suggests that, when it came to avant-garde painting, Jewish collectors were essential. So too for architecture: Can it be coincidence that Mies's greatest clients, the Tugendahts, and le Corbusier's, the Savoyes, were Jewish?
In America, the Kaufmann family commissioned houses by both Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra, himself a Jewish emigre. Other Jewish architects of the time included Marcel Breuer, Rudolf Schindler, and of course Louis Kahn, born Itze-Leib Schmuilowsky. Those who couldn't afford houses by the greats might have bought furniture by George Nelson, known for his marshmallow sofa, or appliances by prolific industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss. They would have been induced to embrace the modernist aesthetic directly by Jewish developers, including Joseph Eichler in California and William Levitt in New York, and indirectly through the work of two great architectural photographers: Julius Shulman on the west coast and Ezra Stoller on the east. Both photographers were Jewish, as were many of the editors who showed their work.
But the role of Jews in creating and popularizing post-war modernism has largely escaped attention. One reason is that some of the key players, including Anni Albers, the textile artist, and designer Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, didn't have recognizably Jewish names; another is that well-intentioned efforts to de-link modernism (once portrayed as a Bolshevik style) from political or religious views largely succeeded. More recently, there has been the barrier of political correctness—why point to ethnicity or religion at all, unless doing so will reveal an important truth?
Now the Contemporary Jewish Museum of San Francisco has taken on this somewhat tricky subject with an exhibition (through October 6) that, perhaps in an attempt to avoid over-claiming, barely makes any claim at all. The curator is Donald Albrecht, who named the show Designing Home: Jews and Midcentury Modernism. But Albrecht went beyond the home, devoting sections of the gallery to the design of record jackets (by Alex Steinweiss) and corporate logos (by Paul Rand, born Peretz Rosenbaum in Brooklyn). Further confusing the topic, there is a selection of Judaica (mezuzahs, menorahs, and the like), not surprisingly designed by Jews. The meat of the show is a selection of furniture by Nelson, Schindler, and Paul Frankl, handsomely displayed alongside Albers textiles and two familiar Dreyfuss products: his Princess phone, in pink, and his bagel-shaped thermostat for Honeywell.
Furniture by the Bauhaus architect Harry Rosenthal, brought over from Germany by William and Ilise Schiff in the 1930s and displayed in their Neutra house in San Francisco's Marina District, suggests that in the pre-war years, modernism was a luxury item. (Though owned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Rosenthal pieces have never before been shown publicly.) It was in the post-War years that modernism went mass-market.
Along with its carefully selected objects, the exhibition includes diagrams showing how Jewish artists, curators and collectors—both foreign- and American-born—networked at institutions like the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, New York's Museum of Modern Art, and North Carolina's Black Mountain College. The research into the role of these institutions in furthering careers is intriguing. But none of it suggests that Jews had more of a hand than any other group in popularizing modernism. In an interview, Albrecht notes that Jews did seem to have a disproportionate influence, perhaps because, unlike other immigrant groups, they had no longing for the old country and thus were all too ready to embrace the new.
The show, under Albrecht's able direction, is worth seeing. But it also makes clear that a larger, more far-reaching show would be worth organizing—one that brings in not just Kahn, but also Gordon Bunshaft, Andrew Geller, and other influential Jewish architects, and grapples with the ways their backgrounds may have influenced their work.

In becoming a CMS user, you partner with the Division of Marketing and Communications. After completing the training course and passing a quiz, users must also fill out an agreement to use slu.edu appropriately.
Learn More About the University's Web Content Management Policy
Tips for Creating Digital Content
When creating content for SLU.edu, your first priority should be the user. Most often, that is a prospective student, families and alumni.
Your site should be intuitive and easy to use, so people can quickly find what they need, even if they are unfamiliar with the University and its departmental structure.
Your content (written, images, video) should be original. If it is necessary to quote content from elsewhere sparingly, it should be attributed appropriately.

Extensive geotechnical investigations have been completed and major works on Melbourne's $10.9 billion Metro Tunnel project is set to begin in April.
"Melbourne needs the Metro Tunnel and we're getting on with it. Geotechnical investigation is now complete and major work about to start.
Over 270 boreholes up to 50 metres deep have been drilled up over the past two years along the Metro Tunnel route. The rock samples collected during the dig provided critical information about the ground conditions under the city which, in turn, will influence the design and construction of the Metro Tunnel as well as five new underground stations.
City Square will be surrounded by hoarding early next month and it will be closed for the next few years to enable construction crews to dig over 11 storeys below the city to build the underground station.
Construction at Franklin and A'Beckett Street will also continue in April as well as in and around St Kilda Road at Domain.
The acceleration of construction on Metro Tunnel will coincide with the construction blitz across the State, affecting services on the Cranbourne, Craigieburn, Frankston, Pakenham, Sandringham and South Morang lines.
Services on a number of regional lines will also be disrupted, including the Geelong and Warrnambool lines to enable $4.4 million worth of signalling and track works in mid-April.
"These works are building a better transport system to get you home sooner every night. I know they will be disruptive but they will be worth it," said Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan.

Will Sia Face the Music?
Image Source: MUSIC via Billboard
A few weeks ago, musical artist Sia released the trailer for her upcoming film, Music, which tells the story of a young autistic girl who finds herself as the caretaker for her newly sober sister. According to a press release shared with Variety, the film is meant to showcase "a wholly original exploration of the healing power of love and the importance of community." While this seems like a harmless, earnest movie, Sia has been the subject of mass criticism across the country for her choice to cast Maddie Ziegler, a completely able-bodied teenager, to play the nonverbal autistic lead.
Autism activists took to social media to vent their frustrations, and Sia immediately went on the defense. In the days following the release of the trailer, more and more people voiced their disapproval of the film, and a petition was even started to cancel the release. Sia grew more irritable in her responses to backlash on social media, encouraging her critics to watch the movie before commenting on it.
The film, which also stars Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom Jr., is scheduled for release in early 2021. Though this is certainly not the first time a person with autism has been represented by a non-disabled person in film and TV, it ignites an important conversation about the portrayal of disability in the media. It will be interesting to see the response the film receives once people watch it — if they do, that is.

Hi again. Last time we looked at two cases that reflected the law's commitment to individual autonomy. To our right to have control over our own bodies and to that extent our own futures. This time I want to look at another body of law and two other cases that talk about other commitments the law makes. Let's start with a body of law that should be familiar to all of us, the US Constitution. The 5th Amendment to the constitution provides that the government when it takes life, liberty or property cannot do so without due process of law. And goes on to say that when the government does take property, private property for a public purpose, it will do so only upon paying just compensation. I want to talk for a moment about the commitment the Constitution makes to individual liberty and property. Two of the elements that are highlighted in the fifth amendment. If I were to ask you right now, if you had to guess, which is the more important, liberty or property which would you vote for? Go ahead, vote for one of them right now. I'm guessing that most of you voted for Liberty. After all, no one stood up during the founding of the country and said, give me property or give me death. And yet, let's play a little game that I like to call the Devil's Game to test our assumption of our commitment to liberty and property. Here's the game, I'll ask you to vote in a minute in a choice I'm going to give you, a devilish type of choice. I get to convict you of a felony. A serious crime and you will spend one year in solitary confinement in jail. You'll come out and although you'll be unharmed, you will have spent one year of your life in jail and it won't stop when you come out. There is tremendous stigma to being a convicted felon. You know this, you will not be able to vote for the rest of your life. It'll be hard, not impossible, to get a job, to go into graduate school, to get an apartment, all kinds of things. On the other hand when you come out of this year and with a felony record. I will give you $20 million tax-free. Here's my question, how many of you might, just might consider the deal. Just vote yes not if you necessarily will but if you might consider the deal and say no if you absolutely under no circumstances would look at the deal. Vote now. My guess is that more of you might have said yes than you might have thought, which raises a question which is, do we really think that property is subservient all the time to liberty? After all, for those of you that might consider the deal, you are willing to take raw property, cash. $20 million in exchange for what you and I might call core liberty. The government's ability to have put you away in prison for a year and to deprive you of all the benefits of liberty. The ability to write our own life stories and to have the choices that free people have. Afterwards, that convicted felony record would get in the way of. Those were liberty deprivations and to the extent, you were willing to consider making them tangible with money. It suggest that maybe property isn't quite a second class set of rights as is liberty than we might have thought. Here's an insight. Many of the founders of this country didn't think that property rights were necessarily second class rights either. Some of the founders actually thought property rights, the ability of free people to own property was one of the core, essential ingredients of liberty that made people free. And we wanted to be secure in this aspect of our lives, the ability to own property from the government hence, the Fifth Amendment. Given this commitment that the law makes to individual autonomy, the right to have liberty and property. I want you to consider two cases I had you look at. The first is called Mugler versus Kansas. It takes place in the late 19th century. After the Civil War, but around 1880. Mugler was a citizen of Kansas, and he purchased, when it was perfectly legal to do so, a brewery to make beer. And he did so. Somewhere in the late 1800s, the state of Kansas adopted a law outlaw, outlawing alcohol. It was like a state version of prohibition, that would later be adopted at a national level. Immediately upon passage of this law, Mugler's brewery became worthless. Because in order to protect the public morals as the citizens and the politicians of Kansas saw them, they had outlawed the one thing that Mugler made. He brought a claim claiming there had been a takings of his property requiring just compensation. It went all the way to the US Supreme Court and I had you look at that Supreme Court opinion. And the Supreme Court opinion said this, when government, any government acts to protect the public morals as it sees it, to protect the public welfare, it does so through something called the police power. The police power has nothing to do with police and the criminal law. It has to do with the ability of our elected legislators to adopt laws for the public welfare. And for better or worse, that's what Kansas had done when it adopted a prohibition like statute and prohibited breweries. Having done that, as an exercise, a legitimate exercise of the police power, the court held no taking had occurred. It is one of those exercises of a public commitment to which private property has to yield. After all, after the Civil War, which had ended just a few years before. It's not like Southerners who had been deprived of their property rights in slaves which existed prior to the Civil War were entitled to compensation after slavery was outlawed. Sometimes, private interests, including private property rights, have to give way to the overriding public interest, despite the commitment to property. Now fast forward, over 100 years later to South Carolina and the second case that I had ask to read. Lucas versus South Carolina Coastal Council. In this case the government of South Carolina had come to appreciate in the late 1980s that increasing sea level rise and storms were starting to erode the state of South Carolina's beaches much faster than previously thought. Accordingly it adopted a new set back line in front of which no new construction would be allowed in the public interest. Because we now know and South Carolina then knew that building on the beach seaward of this line interfered with all kinds crucial natural processes. Processes that kept barrier islands off the coast of South Carolina intact. Providing protection, say to the city of Charleston, South Carolina from storms that would occasionally come ashore battering the coast. Building too far into the beach close to the water, could interfere with these natural processes. David Lucas was a land developer who had spent years building hundreds of homes on a barrier island just of the coast of Charleston known as the Isle of Palms. He had purchased two lots for himself that now found themselves seaward of this new setback line. That meant he could not build on them. When he purchased, it was legal to build but now it was not. Because it was legal to build when he purchased. I mean, after all, everyone wants this don't we? We want a house right next to the water. He paid $500,000 per lot for each of those two lots. Yet, now that the set back line had been moved and these lots found themselves orphaned on the wrong side of the line, the state of South Carolina said he couldn't use his property. It's not different, is it from what happened in Kansas a hundred years earlier? To Peter Mugler. Who suddenly because of an active to legislature also couldn't use his property. This time, David Lucas brought a takings challenge. It went all the way to the US Supreme Court, that's the opinion we read. But the Supreme Court this time said there had been a takings, an interference with the private property rights of this beach developer such that the government would have to compensate him $500,000 per lot for imposing this restriction on his private property rights. The question is, how do we reconcile the tension? On the one hand between the result in Lucas, and the result 100 years earlier in Mugler. And how do we resolve the tension between the overriding idea that the government actually can interfere with our individual rights, even property rights, that we might value as much as liberty for the greater public good? How do we reconcile that with a pre-commitment to individual autonomy that seemed to animate the tort law that we looked at last time? There's no easy answer to this. In part because it's still being worked out. That's the real insight from this case. Lucas is of course the current law. It is a very narrow law, it only applies when a government deprives one of 100% of ones economic value of land, which the setback in South Carolina, did. If there is any other interference with private property rights, even interferences that might amount to depriving the property owner of 30, 40, 50, even 60 or 70% of the land's value, it isn't necessarily at takings. Sometimes, that amount of private interference has to give way to the greater good. But this time a line literally was drawn in the sand at least constitutionally and the taking was found. The real tension in this case is how do we reconcile the result of, this case, not only with Mugler but the idea that sometimes the public really does demand for the public interest a change in private ordering. We might be exactly at that spot now at the coast. You don't have to have read much to have read about rising sea levels and the effect they have at the coast. Do you know over 50% of the American population lives at the coast? Many of them so close to the ocean that they could be drastically effected over the next century with these rising sea levels that cause erosion under normal circumstances and can cause incredibly destructive damage when exacerbated by storms. In fact in South Carolina one year after the South Carolina legislature adopted the setback requirement it was like nature seconded the insight that the legislature had because in 1999 Hurricane Hugo. One of the first of massive storms that began to batter the Southeastern United States came ashore and came ashore almost with a bulls-eye right at Charleston. Right at the very spot where the Lucas case took place, reinforcing the idea that the legislature really didn't know what it was doing. And that sometimes, there has to be a reordering of private property rights to affect the greater public good. The point at this moment is not that we work this out. It's that we recognize that the law itself, almost like the beach, is in flux. Not just in trying to work out under what circumstances, individuals rights have to give way to the greater public rights, but how to simultaneously make sure that the public has a way to get what it needs so that social welfare improves, or in this case, environmental protection improves. While on the other hand, respecting individual rights including property rights, one of the cornerstones on which this country was founded. That's attention that one finds in the law. That itself is interesting and is a springboard for a whole variety of possible legal solutions that might be able to accommodate both interests. But that is the subject for other lectures. For now though we just have a sense of two areas of the law. The battery law that we looked at the first time. And the property rights takings law that we looked at this time to get a sense of how legal interests are defined and problems involving them worked out. That's all for me. I hope you enjoyed these two video sessions. And I'll look forward to hearing from you and hearing about your successful career at Carolina.

October was quite a month and I reached a number of personal milestones.
I worked hard to get my 'mojo' back and into the swing of daily routines to get back to feeling my best. I wrote 10 blog posts in one month, the most I've written in a long time. I decluttered my room and got rid of unused possessions which no longer added value to my life. I went on a number of dates with fun guys and loved meeting and spending time with new people. I jumped back on the motorbike! While I'm still taking my motorbike practice slow, I'm becoming more and more willing to face my fears.
October was the start of finding inner peace and happiness within myself, facing my fears and becoming more self-confident and self-aware.
How much did I spend in October?
In my spreadsheet, I've re-named this from 'Monthly Spending' to 'How much are you paying other people?'. This is to keep myself in check that what I am not saving, I am paying to other people and unless it is giving me value, the money is wasted.
Groceries was significantly higher this month as were utilities and insurance as some quarterly bills came through. My spending on Food & Drinks was lower than previous months however still a lot higher than I'm comfortable with.
I bought myself a small, lamb-skin leather Michael Kors cross-over/chain shoulder bag which was on my 'want' list for a long time. It's a small bag that is nice enough to take out to dinner however can be dressed down with jeans and a tee. As it's leather, it will last a long time and something I'll keep for a number of years. I now have 3 bags which have completed my 'core' bag collection: a Longchamp Le Pliage nylon tote for work, my Lady Dior bag (a medium sized bag) and my new Michael Kors small purse which doubles as a clutch and a cross-over bag.
Gifting was higher than previous months as a number of birthdays occurred and a colleagues' farewell.
My net worth decreased compared to September. When the sharemarket dropped, I transferred cash from my emergency fund to put towards shares. This is the main reason why my shares have increased and emergency fund has decreased. Unfortunately, with the share market crash, this decreased the value of my share portfolio and superannuation which are both invested in index funds. I'm not too upset about the drop in value as I'm invested for the long term and the market will no doubt recover in time.
What were your financial wins and fails in October? Comment below!

If there are professionals that play pivotal roles in our societies, then it is legal professionals. Unless you are extremely fortunate; there will be times when you will consider hiring legal experts.
And this is something that is very common these days. If there are situations that call for the intervention of a legal professional, the accident-related cases form a major segment – such cases are accompanied by emotional distress.

By request from blog reader Mary I'm sharing some strategies I employ when eating out after having weight loss surgery. The first section is about my choices at sit down casual restaurants and the last section is about my healthiest options at fast food, quickie joints.
Plan Ahead: If possible get a copy of the menu and plan what you are going to have in advance. That will save you from making poor choices on the spur of the moment. Most restaurants and fast food joints have a web presence, Google their website and read the menu in advance. Here's another great resource for menus.
Make substitutions: You can still order your favorite chicken fajitas, but instead of the Mexican rice and refried beans, do double beans or ask for a salad on the side. Ask for double veggies instead of the starch. At breakfast get sliced tomatoes or fruit instead of hash browns. You get the idea — this stuff will take a little extra thought at first, but in no time it will become second nature. If it's somewhere else on the menu you can probably get it as a substitution.
Portion it: Ask the server to box half up right away. I just say, "I really want dish xyz but that looks like a lot can you box half up for me" Then get yourself one of these groovy gadgets that heat leftovers up without drying them out. We are no longer members of the clean your plate club. Facts are facts. We will sadly waste food or learn to walk out with boxes. Hopefully you can split meals with the person you are with but that isn't always possible.
I hate to waste water so when they ask for drinks (I don't drink with my meals post weight loss surgery) I say something like, "Nothing to drink for me, just had a huge coffee" and that stops them from asking over and over again.
Leftover Steak becomes Tortilla Pizza or this awesome Brunch Casserole.
I love crab legs when I'm with a group. They take forever to eat, great protein, looks like I've ordered a lot so no one feels self conscious about my tiny portion, and leftovers are great the next day.
Enjoy! Enjoy spending time with the other people in your group and make the food secondary to the social event.
In & Out Burger: "Protein-style" Single Cheeseburger with grilled onions (Protein style = wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun.) Most burger places will do variations of this.
Five Guys: Ask for no bun, they put it in a plate on top of lettuce, you can add grilled onions, cheese or some bacon.
Taco Bell, Del Taco: Order of Pintos & Cheese/refried beans with a scoop of meat or chicken added.
El Pollo Loco: Grilled Chicken Breast (single piece - they are huge) or $1 side salad minus tortilla strips & the $1 Chicken Taco El Carbon. I discard the tortilla and dump the chicken on the salad. Great meal for $2.
McDonald's: Premium Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken, no dressing (ask for salsa packets), they will sell you a grilled chicken breast patty only or a burger patty only too.
Sbarro: Side of Meatballs or Sausage with Sauce.
Wendy's: Chili with cheese. Burger patty.
Subway, Submarina, Firehouse: They will turn any of the subs into salads. Watch the dressings, ax the croutons/breadsticks/flat breads.
Starbucks: Sous Vide Egg Bites, Egg White Whole Wheat Feta Wrap (I ask for double cooked makes it crunchy), Oatmeal (in a pitch when traveling I will do oatmeal, complex carbs, add cinnamon from the coffee bar), Protein Plate give away the bread, Soy Lattes. Here's my Starbuck's Post WLS Guide.
KFC: Single piece of Kentucky Grilled Chicken, Green Beans side.
Rubio's: You can have grilled fish on any of their salads. Ask for dressing on the side or better yet use salsa. My favorite is the Balsamic & Roasted Veggie Salad and I add Grilled Tilapia.
Diners, IHOP, Denny's: Scrambled Eggs with cheese and avocado is my standard. If they have turkey sausage even better.
That's about all I can think of right now. I'll add others if they come to mind. Feel free to post your orders or restaurant adaptations in the comment section. These are just things as a post-op I personally have eaten. When in doubt, ask your dietitian/bariatric surgeon's office.
Hey and don't feel guilty if you make a poor choice. Life happens. You can't rewind time, so you might as well get over it. Start planning your next healthy meal.
Great guide, Shelly!! Thank you! I often look online at a restaurant's menu before going out so I know what my options are. I also will order a kid's meal instead of a regular meal. Some restaurants, like Cracker Barrel, have better choices, like shrimp, on their kids' menu.
Awesome post! With traveling and not being a very good cook I sometimes eat out more than maybe others do.
Bahama Breeze - Jamaican Grilled Chicken Breasts (grilled chicken breasts, green beans, and mashed sweet potato) Available in regular size with 2 breasts or lighter portion with 1 breast. I order the regular size and have enough food for 3-4 days!
Another favorite is BBQ chicken. If there is skin I peel it off and most places don't add alot of sauce so it's just enough to keep it moist.
I also love Cracker Barrel too because they have low carb options.
That salad from Chick fil a is the freakin heat!!!
I make sure I look over the appetizers on a menu. I like to order shrimp cocktail or crab cakes and ask that they are brought out with everyone else's dinner.
l - I drive by Wendy's and never even think about the chili YUM!
Almost any breakfast place will do a side of cottage cheese, also.
At Red Robin, they have a plate...chipotle char grilled chicken...I split that with my hubby and it's very filling. Their chili is fab, too.
Most steak places (or heck, even Denny's) will also let you add a grilled shrimp skewer for $1.99 or something like that. That's an easy add on for us.
Michelle, Chick-Fil-A's Chargrilled Salads are sooo good! We have a routine. My daughters get their stuff, I get my salad (we ditch the "extras" they give you to put on top and I use half a packet of FF Italian dressing) and I eat as much of the salad as I can (usually all the meat, half the veggies) and the girls finish it up with their sandwiches. Also Denny's has wonderful Egg Beaters and Egg whites omelettes. I order from the senior menu to get a smaller one and then eat half of that with some turkey sausage or, on occasion, bacon.
This is an awesome post - so many of the options on your list are things I wouldn't have thought of on my own! Thank you thank you, this is fabulous!
Oh I love, love, love Wendy's chili! Once I could first eat solids, I became a chili connosouire (sp?). Wendy's was (and is) my fav. Chicken and I don't get along so well post-op, so I usually go for the seafood or steak type options (or ground meat). Love your ideas too! Thanks again!
El Pollo Loco now has a skinless breast meal, served with pinto beans and steamed veggies. It's enough to feed me for 2-3 meals, and it's only about $5.
Red Robin - protein style burger with a salad on the side. I steal 2 steak fries from my honey.
Their website has a cool interactive customizer so you can play and plan your food before you get there.
I went to Fresh Choice last night for my first dinner out (I am 4 weeks out). I thought evne tho I am not suppose to have soup - I was sure they would have a nice soup. Well, almost all were broths and noodles - so I was kinda sad.
I then spotted the chili - with some cheese on top it was YUMMY!
I did get a weird look when I order 2 drinks for the Hubs and daughter and then nothing for myself . . .
Thanks for this great post, and all of your recipes. I just had rny on Monday, but I have been reading your blog for a couple months. I'm looking forward to being able to eat food again and being able to choose the best thing on the menu for me to have. I'm glad to know In-n-Out is still an option, in a few months anyway.
Great ideas to think about. I am still on full liquids and actually the week that I will be able to have "real" food I am off to Orlando for a conference and will be with the family. Talk about a real test!! These are things to think about tho. I have some idea where I will be eating in the evenings so I will be checking them out online first.
Qdoba is my new favorite place for fast Mexican. I order the "Craft Two" with the tortilla soup with chicken and a dollop of sour cream and then with the naked taco salad topped with chicken, pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of cheese.
Qdoba's set up is similar to Chipotle but they have more menu items. The "Craft Two" is small portions. The tortilla soup there is to die for...and the tortilla strips are optional. You can find the nutrition info for their food on their website.
We have Outbacks in our area. An Outback Special 6 oz steak (I take home half), a chopped blue cheese salad, and sauteed mushrooms is the best $10 meal on the planet!
I want to ask you about olive garden what is the best soup and food..
Omg..just heard about ur site from a friend..soooo glad I have u now..lol :) great ideas and recipes!! Ideas I wld hve never thought of on my own!!!
Wow, i love your blog. Im 1 month post op! And u inspire me!
Shelly, I am 5 weeks post op and we talked about your blog the other night in support group. I'm so happy to find you! It's great to see long-term success! Also wanted to add, my favorite thing at Jack In The Box is their Grilled Chicken Strips! I found I can eat 1 or 2 strips, take the rest home, and re-heat them in my favorite yellow curry sauce for a great lunch the next day.
Some of the places like Chili's and Applebee's have so many healthier choice's and smaller portion's on their menu's there isn't even much you have to change on a lot of their dishes.
Logan's Roadhouse - lunch portion of salmon (available on 2 for 14.99 menu) with sweet potato and side salad without croutons. I'm not sure if they still do, but they used to have a fat-free caesar vinaigrette. I don't know because now I just order the house-made ranch now because I eat low carb. This is a ton of food, and you can also snack on peanuts while you are waiting for your food!
Thanks I just had bypass surgery in June and it's hard to order out on Fridays with three men in the house who like to eat I usually just make a salad with a protein. And alot of things still don't agree with. Did not know alot of the things you posted about some of these restaurants, it helps to know. Thank you.
Right now Red Robin is doing Wedge Burgers- Where they wrap their burger in lettuce. We're going later for Date Night, soo excited! 6 months till my surgery, but starting this now to get it ingrained that this will be my life now.
Oooh I haven't been to RR in years I might have to try that! TY for the heads up.
Im 1 week and 1 day Post Op and I feel over whelmed. I'm getting in my protein with Premier Protein Shakes from SAMS. Sugar Free Popcicles are my go to in between meals. Mash potatoes, and soups are my meals for now. I purified some chicken and egg with light mayo for a chicken salad once. Also purified some beans and salsa and it was really good. Glad I found this blog, it has helped a lot.
I love Bahama breeze but was wondering what I could eat from there. Thanks for sharing!


In April, TIME named Netanyahu one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Eric Cantor, the majority leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, wrote in a short article on TIME's website that Netanyahu "is one of these iconic Israelis, a strong, determined leader who has excelled during a lifetime of service to the state of Israel.
"Bibi's accomplishments and service as a soldier, a diplomat, an economic reformer who took on the difficult and politically perilous task of challenging the status quo, and a two-time Prime Minister rank him among the world's great leaders," wrote Cantor.

I have had those weeks, too! Out of curiousity, how long does it take you to do a load of laundry? My machines are SLOW, It's almost 5 hours to wash and dry. You?
For the long cycle on y washer: 2 hours. I do my dryer by time and I generally start at 1:45. Whether I need to extend that time depends on how hard a spin I used on the washer (and therefore how much water was centrifuged out of the clothes). I tend to keep those rpms low because I find this washer (and dryer!) extremely hard on my clothing (as compared to the Mieles I had in the tates). I run extremenly large loads because it takes so long (drives my mother-in-law crazy) and I run both machines at the same time, of course, during the second wash load and on. Still sounds better an hour + better than yours, what brand do you have? Bosch and Asko are the slowest. I have a no name here.
One can always rely on the universal constant that the cat will vomit.
I've had weeks like this too. Things invariably get better. Having read your next post, I know you will doubt this, but I believe it. I hope things settle down for you.
This is hilarious! Poor kitty! Poor YOU!

50 Cent & G-Unit To Collaborate With Kanye West?
50 Cent recently revealed that he may be collaborating with Kanye West in the near future.
While talking to MTV about his upcoming album 50 talked about some of the producers he was reaching out to for beats.
"A lot of producers send stuff that's interesting," he said. "To me, it inspires me to write with different cadences, see a different style. I don't want the record to sound like old material. I want it to sound like something new. They all go, 'Oh, Fif, we want that Get Rich or Die Tryin'. They do the same thing to Jay-Z, [but] if you want the old one, buy the old one. If you want the new material that the artist is inspired to write, check it out.
"I sat with Swizz [Beatz]; I'mma try to get in with him. Don't even be surprised if you hear me and Kanye, just talented artists — period. I'mma collaborate and make a monster this time. Ain't nobody off limits to me in my head. If creatively they have something they feel is something for the project, I'm with it."
This may come as a surprise to those who bought into the Great Universal Music Group Marketing Stunt of '07 and thought that Kanye and 50 were bitter rivals… Sorry to disappoint the carnivorous hip-hop heads out out there.
Kanye took to Twitter to praise Lloyd Banks, calling him one of the most underrated rappers.
Peep Lloyd's reaction to Kanye's praise, as told to TraceTV, below:

On the flip side, we're currently in a great position as AcroDance teachers, because today's costume trend is very streamlined, which has no-doubt been influenced by the rising accessibility of AcroDance. Acro is constantly being woven in with jazz, lyrical, and contemporary choreography, so form-fitting bodysuits and biketards, with beautiful patterns and interesting cut-outs, can be found in almost every costume catalogue!
Bare hands and feet will always be the safest option for your students. Some students may also want bare forearms, but this will depend on the comfort-level of your students and the amount of elbow-balancing work in their routine.
There will inevitably be lots of upside-down work in your choreography, so you'll want to make sure all is covered appropriately. I personally lean towards shorts (over a bodysuit line) for this reason, but you'll want to figure out what will work best for your own dancers.
It's also good to be aware of things like zippers, that can dig into your dancers during floor work. Some things may be bearable for them, but in some cases it's just easier to steer clear if there is lots of "hardware" going on.
If you love a costume but are afraid it won't stay in place, all is not lost: some tack stitches here and there may be all you need!
Have fun selecting costumes that match your vision: and if that means bringing back the full-length clown or snake-print unitard, I know your students will rock it!

Sound travels in waves. When the waves hit your ear, you hear a sound. Have you ever noticed the waves in the ocean? They go up and down, up and down. Sound waves act the same way. The number of times they go up and down is called the frequency. People measure frequency in units called hertz. One hertz is equal to one complete wave (up and down) in one second. People can hear sounds between 20 and 20,000 hertz.
Another property of a waves is called amplitude. Amplitude is how strong or weak a wave is. In a lake, the amplitude of waves is usually measured in feet or meters. The amplitude of a wave switches between up and down (positive and negative). The waves switch back and forth and are called periodic functions because they repeat in a certain period of time.
When waves run into each other, they usually don't reflect. Instead, they combine. If the amplitudes of two waves point in the same direction (either up or down), then the new wave has a larger amplitude. This is called constructive interference. Sound waves with a higher amplitude sound louder. If the waves had opposite amplitudes (one pointed up and the other pointed down), then the new wave has a smaller amplitude. This is called destructive interference.
Two waves that add together might have different frequencies. That means that the peaks won't always line up the same way because one wave is moving faster than the other. When this happens there are times when the waves interfere constructively and times when they interfere destructively. In music, musicians call this a beat. You can hear beats when two instruments are almost playing the same note, but not quite. Musicians use beats to tune instruments. When you can't hear beats anymore, the instruments are tuned. This is how Doppler could tell that the frequency of the trumpets on the train had changed--he heard the wave beats.

Joyce Heitler of Spartanburg, while impressed by pianist-comedian Emile Pandolfi, who recently performed in Twichell Auditorium, is quite the comedian herself. "Emile Pandolfi stopped in to eat at Renato's Ristorante after his concert and was pleasantly surprised to hear his tapes being played," she tells. "Pandolfi, who is of Italian heritage, enjoyed speaking Italian to chef Renato Marmolino while savoring his favorite dishes. He told Renato he had just finished a book called 'Understanding Women.' It's fiction."
'ABSOLUTELY CRAZY': Bruce Pollock of Boiling Springs would like to retaliate against doctors who want to charge patients for missed appointments, phoning in prescriptions and miscellaneous paperwork. "We should make the doctors pay the patients $10 for every five minutes they spend in the outer waiting room and $15 for every five minutes they spend inside the so-called examination rooms. After all, we have rights, too," he says. "It's absolutely crazy what the doctors are doing to us."
OUCH!: Ben Bennett of the Cannon's Campground community thinks he knows the reason behind all the new fees concocted by doctors in the Regional Physician Network. "Evidently they have a CEO who is going to retire and want to give him a million-dollar send-off," he says. "We've had a few of those, and we've paid them well to leave."
FUJI EXPRESS: After trying the food at Fuji Express on the west side of Spartanburg, Dennis Bishop of Moore promises you won't go elsewhere for Japanese food. "It's better than any other that Spartanburg has," he says. "They are so quick cooking the food, and the prices are so cheap. You get a ton of food and good service, too. Everyone needs to stop in and give it a try. It's delicious." This Fuji Express is next to the former Shoney's near WestGate Mall.

Monday: Beat around the bush. Jump to conclusions. Climb the walls. Wade through paperwork. Tuesday: Drag my heels. Push my luck. Make mountains out of mole hills. Hit the nail on the head. Wednesday: Bend over backward. Jump on the bandwagon. Balance the books. Run around in circles. Thursday: Toot my own horn. Climb the ladder of success. Pull out the stops. Add fuel to the fire.

Q: How to prevent cursive CSS fonts from extending beyond container border Using the Google font Mr De Haviland, I've noticed that the letters of this font overlap, especially the capital letters.  One glyph extends into the next. I'm sure this is intentional, as it create a nice cursive writing effect.
However this also makes parts of the letters extend past the barrier of a div or table cell. How can I make the container contain the entire letter, so they do not extend beyond the div into the margin, or get cut-off.  Example
Adding padding is not the answer I'm looking for, because the amount of padding needed appears to vary depending on the letter.

A: You could apply a small amount of padding-left and padding-right to all text containers that use this font, like
h1, h2, h3, h4 {
  padding: 0 0.2em;
}

(Adjust that value to whatever really fits by trying different values in the browser tools)

I just returned from the excellent, inaugural two day Symposium on Technology for Design and Construction sponsored by Northwestern University's Master of Project Management Program.
The 3 biggest differences between this Symposium and July's BIMForum 2011 Chicago and June's 2011 Revit Technology Conference?
The pace: Each speaker was given 30 minutes to present and field questions, which kept the topics and delivery sharp and on-target.
The mix: The attendees included Owners, Researchers, Academics, Practitioners, Developers, Vendors, IT Professionals and Students from Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management.
The cost: The event is very affordable at just $200 for full registration and $25 for students.
Be sure to mark your August 2012 calendars for what will surely be an annual event.
Contractors kicked-off the first day of the conference, Thursday, August 18, 2011 with a series of talks focusing on Building Information Modeling.
Kevin nailed it when he said: "Technology is great – but behind these tools is a person and therefore, the integration of all these people." Amen.
Stacy's talk was remarkably informative, entertaining and poignant – all in one.
He acknowledged that other industries serve as a metaphor for our own and proceeded to use the example of Pac Man (us in 1980) and Gears of War III (kids today;) single-player vs. collaborative gaming; digital immigrants vs. digital natives.
Keep your eye out for Stacy Scopano and the work he's doing at Trimble. One of our industry's bright lights.

As Director of Construction for Crate & Barrel, John Moebes kicked-off the Friday, August 19, 2011 talks focusing on Technology Management.
Moebes travels extensively presenting C&B's dedication to and involvement with BIM, IPD, Design-Build, prefabrication and sustainability on their museum-like store projects.
I have seen him speak at least a dozen times and no two presentations have been quite the same. They have all been excellent and compelling arguments for the use of BIM and IPD to eliminate waste in design and construction.
Crate & Barrel have become BIM evangelists. Your project team needs them too.

Have you noticed in recent years that your knees seem to be getting bigger? Is this correlated with more popping, grinding or even pain when you bend, squat or kneel? This can be a sign of advancing stages of arthritis. The knees have two main fat pads, which reside just above and below the kneecap. These help to cushion the knee and assist with lubricating fluid flow around the joint. With arthritis, inflammation in the joint causes the fat pads to gradually thicken, choking the joint fluid flow. This leads to a vicious cycle of decreased lubrication, more wear, pain, and swelling. 60%-70% of patients can avoid surgery by choosing physical therapy The good news is that recent studies show 60-70% of knee osteoarthritis patients can avoid surgery by getting PT first (1). In fact, surgery should always be considered as a last resort after conservative measures have been tried. Furthermore, physical therapy is actually 40 times less expensive than a total joint replacement! (2 ) Improve your joint lubrication A physical therapist can actually help the lubrication in your joints through improved joint motion, strength, balance and coordination. The better lubricated your knee joints, the less friction and wear occur, reducing inflammation and pain.

Participatory monitoring and evaluation refers to getting all project stakeholders, particularly the target group, involved in a project evaluation (and also the design of the evaluation). The level of participation can vary, from the getting the target group to set objectives, targets, and data sources themselves, to getting participants to gather data, tell their story, and interpret results. Participatory evaluation generally requires good facilitation skills and commitment from all the stakeholders, including the participants, to the process.
Participatory evaluation is about valuing and using the knowledge of insiders (target group and other stakeholders) to provide meaningful targets and information, asshift opposed to solely relying on objective and external indicators of change. It also refers to getting stakeholders involved in the collection and to interpretation of results.
There is an increasing use of participatory evaluation so that a project's accountability is not just to the funding agencies and implementation teams, but also to the participants themselves.
Participatory monitoring and evaluation also provides a meaningful way to learn about the process of change, based on the participants' own experiences.
There does however need to be some care taken with participatory monitoring and evaluation. You may need to clarify whose views are being represented. If you are using insider knowledge to find out about the process of change, for example, you need to ensure that the validity of the information, such as whether they are representative of the entire experience.
The process can be unpredictable and result in unexpected consequences and this may require facilitation skills and risk management processes.

Q: Bluetooth device disappeared on Windows 10 Asus ZenBook I have an Asus Zenbook UX331FAL running Windows 10.
Till about a couple of weeks ago, I was able to connect as many devices as I wanted using Bluetooth (mice, headsets, keyboards), and there was no problem.
However, for the past 2 weeks whenever I try to add a new Bluetooth device, this is what I see:

This is about the same time that whenever I plug in my headphone jack, I get no audio in my headphones (RealTek audio drivers), although the speakers seem to work just fine. Not going to dwell on this issue on this question, but these two might be connected.
Update: Audio issues have resolved themselves, and I can now get audio to my headphones, after all the updating and restarting. So a minor win there.

Since there is no physical switch for Bluetooth on my laptop, I started on the long trek of trying to figure out how else to get back Bluetooth on my machine:
Windows Support Page Instructions
Following the link to the Windows support page, none of the options were workable.
There was no Bluetooth icon in the taskbar:

Ran the Windows troubleshooter for Bluetooth, and was told that there is no Bluetooth device on the computer:

Since this is not possible, I continued to try other steps.
Updating Windows
I updated my Windows to the latest 1909 build and got all the driver udpates from Asus that that action necessitated:

Reinstalling Asus Bluetooth and Audio Drivers
Got the audio and Bluetooth drivers from the OEM website for my particular model:

And as per the instructions, ran the setup script in Powershell admin mode. Now, I can't tell whether the installation was successful, but here is what I saw:

This seemed to me to say that the installation went through without problems.
Restarting Bluetooth Services
The last thing that I tried was to re-start the Bluetooth services in the services manager:

These are the only Bluetooth services that could see -- not sure if there are other services related to Bluetooth.
Checking for BIOS Update
Based on the advice here, I checked on the OEM site to see if there is a BIOS update available:

But WinFlash told me that the BIOS that is already installed is no older than the latest update available on the OEM site:

Device Manager
One of the first pieces of advice on all the sites that talk about Bluetooth problems on Windows 10 is to go to the Device Manager and turn on the Bluetooth device, and in case it can't be seen, to change the view to also show hidden devices. However, I could not spot the Bluetooth device even with the hidden devices view turned on:

The most likely scenario appears to be that the most recent Windows updates have broken Bluetooth, and that Asus has not released updated drivers. Or it could be something more specific to my setup. Any advice on how to understand what happened to my Bluetooth device would be appreciated.

A: If it is a Windows update that caused your Bluetooth drivers to stop working, then you should consider restoring Windows to a previous version where you know for sure that Bluetooth was functioning normally. You can see recovery options to restore previous versions of Windows here, and if you are going to go this route then ensure you back up any important files that might have changed since this point.
If that is successful in fixing the Bluetooth issues and everything is working normally, then you could temporarily disable automatic Windows updates via the registry until you're certain that updating Windows again will not break your Bluetooth. If you are going to update again at this point then you might want to look into creating a system restore point to more easily restore previous states of Windows, should anything break again in the future after updating Windows.
Hope you get this fixed, as this looks like an annoying issue to have to deal with!

A: I've heard this helps sometimes with missinsg/unknown devices. In Device Manager, if I select Intel Wireless Bluetooth and then switch the view to Devices by connection, I see the following:

If you switch to Devices by connection, you'll most likely see that unknown device beneath the USB Extensible Host Controller. Right-click the Host Controller & unistall. Redetection/reinstallation should be immediate. Sometimes, clearing things out "upstream" and forcing redectection of everything below sorts things out.

A: Just to close this question out, the issue was fixed by a Windows update:

A: I had the exact same issue with the latest Windows 20H2 Update. Unfortunately the suggested solution didn't work for me as windows does/did not provide a fix for this issue at the time of writing this. Luckily I was able to fix this issue based on this video on YouTube:

*

*Open the device manager

*Uninstall the entire "Intel(R) USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller"

*

*This will remove other devices, too (including the "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)")

*Open the windows start menu and shut down the computer (a "restart" did not work for me and others that commented on the YouTube video)

*Start the computer with the power button

*

*The computer will now install the eXtensible Host Controller and will finally recognize and install the Bluetooth driver

A: Good grief on drivers. have checked the registry editor?

50 Cent sets record with ''Massacre'' debut
50 Cent sets record with ''Massacre'' debut. Despite a short sales week and competition from new J. Lo, Jack Johnson, and Mars Volta CDs, ''Massacre'' sells 1.14 million copies
By Gary Susman
Updated March 09, 2005 at 05:00 AM EST
50 Cent: Kevin Winter/Getty
Proving the adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity, 50 Cent's The Massacre debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and sold 1.14 million copies (according to SoundScan), marking the best sales week the feud-prone rapper has ever enjoyed. Despite a four-day sales week (50 moved the album's release forward five days to pre-empt the sales of pirated copies), Massacre enjoyed the sixth-best first week since SoundScan began measuring sales 15 years ago. It was also the best debut ever for an album with shortened sales week, breaking a record set two years ago by the rapper's own first album Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
50 brought enough music fans into record stores that several other artists enjoyed especially strong debuts as well. Jennifer Lopez' Rebirth entered the chart in second place and sold 261,000 copies, a number that compares favorably to her career high of 272,000 the week she released J. Lo in 2001. Jack Johnson enjoyed the best week of his career with the No. 3 debut of his third album, In Between Dreams, with sales of 228,000. Same went for The Mars Volta, scoring a career-high No. 4 debut with the first-week sales of 123,000 copies of Frances the Mute.
In a week that saw 50's feud with protégé The Game turn violent, the former G-Unit rapper still enjoyed strong sales of his solo debut The Documentary, which slipped just one slot to No. 5 and sold another 100,000 units. Slipping three slots to sixth place was Green Day's American Idiot. Down five spots to No. 7 was Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company. Last week's champ, Omarion's O, fell to eighth place. Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway rose one spot to No. 9. Eminem's Encore slid two slots to 10th place. Just missing out on a top-10 opening was the reunited Judas Priest, whose Angel of Retribution debuted at No. 13, becoming the metal veterans' highest-charting album ever.
