Zimmer takes electives hit in Q4, to spin off spine, dental units
Published Feb. 5, 2021
Ricky Zipp Reporter
Zimmer Biomet saw fourth-quarter year-over-year sales fall 1.9%, closing out the year with declines after bouncing back to growth in the third quarter. The medtech struggled throughout 2020, with full-year sales declining by 12% to approximately $7 billion.
The bulk of quarterly losses came outside of the U.S. Net sales in Asia Pacific dropped by 7.1% and sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa fell 13.2%. Meanwhile, sales in the U.S. declined by less than 1%.
Zimmer also said it would spin off its spine and dental businesses into a publicly-traded company, as it aims to focus more closely on high-growth markets like hips and knees. The move is expected to be final in mid-2022.
The results continue a rough quarter for orthopaedics. Both Johnson & Johnson and Stryker reported declines in hip and knee procedures in January and pointed to global drops in procedures.
Zimmer's hip business declined by 1.3% overall, with a decline of 12.2% in EMEA, 6.2% in Asia Pacific and 1% in the U.S. Knee sales dropped by 3.1% overall, with a 20.8% drop in EMEA, 8.1% drop in Asia Pacific and less than 1% decline in the U.S.
For the full year, hips and knees declined by 9.4% and 15%, respectively.
CEO Bryan Hanson attributed the decline to the slowdown in elective procedures as COVID-19 cases resurged across the globe, saying that elective procedure declines were at their worst in the quarter throughout December.
"There's just no doubt that COVID, unfortunately, remains a challenge. Coming out of Q4, we're seeing the pandemic pressure and the surges continue and, frankly, worsen across pretty much all of our regions and markets," Hanson said. "We expect that increase in pressure will continue throughout Q1, at least, and will impact all three of our regions."
The CEO expects the first quarter of 2021 to be even more challenging than the fourth quarter.
Hanson said that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of procedures has been deferred, creating a backlog for the company to recapture as procedure volumes return throughout 2021 with a wider vaccine rollout.
"The timing of when you work through [the backlog,] it's based on capacity, capabilities in different markets ... But we feel it's very sizable, and we're excited to start looking through it," Hanson said.
While other procedure-dependent competitors released 2021 guidance — J&J, Stryker and Boston Scientific — Zimmer did not during the Friday call.
On the newly announced spinoff, Hanson said that the move sharpens Zimmer's focus and how the company prioritizes its resources. The CEO added he did not believe that it was essential to have a spine portfolio along with other large joint offerings.
The company's spine and dental business segment — which also includes craniomaxillofacial and thoracic procedures that will remain with Zimmer after the spinoff — declined by 10.1% in 2020 to roughly $1 billion.
CFO Suketu Upadhyay said during that call that the spinoff's pro-forma revenues in 2019 and 2020 totaled about $1 billion and $897 million, respectively.
Hanson said that there will be little disruption to operations as the businesses are already fairly separate, adding they are "very close" to picking a CEO.
SVB Leerink analysts wrote that the spinoff should allow Zimmer "to more aggressively manage the portfolio ... into higher return generating/faster-growing end-markets," such as pursuing tuck-ins and investments.
The analysts called Zimmer's fourth-quarter performance "good enough," with elective declines expected before results were announced.
One bright spot: Zimmer placed over 115 Rosa robot systems in the fourth quarter. Hanson said that the system had the strongest quarter-over-quarter growth since being launched and brought in $100 million in gross revenue in 2020. Now indicated for knee procedures, it's expected to expand into hips later in the year.
As the company focuses on the hips and knees markets, robotics and procedure data and analytics will play big roles going forward in attempts to improve patient outcomes. Hanson said that Zimmer has "had a significant shift in our research and development dollars towards robotics, towards data and informatics to build that ecosystem."

It is important to regularly involve relatives in psychosocial care for chronically ill or handicapped children. How can we do this? There is great need for care, which ranges from predominantly preventive to psychotherapeutic offers, depending on the experience of stress.
However, the care structure remains fragmented and there is a lack of focused preventive counselling approaches for the siblings and their parents or families.
The book fills this gap: It presents a theoretically sound concept based on the authors' many years of practical experience for targeted support of siblings, which is based on the Hamburg COSIP concept for counselling children and their physically ill parents.

conversation with other home residents and the issue of dying was ubiquitous. I realized that older people are hardly afraid of dying any more.

Eurozone crisis: The great European fire sale

21 February 2012 – The Independent (London)
All over Europe, nations are looking for a quick way to raise cash. All of them seem to have the same idea – to sell off state assets.
Tom Bawden, Charlie Cooper
What do Rome's 2020 Olympic bid, Portugal's Shrove Tuesday carnival, Greece's sunlight, Ireland's National Stud, Spain's national lottery and Britain's national air traffic control service have in common? Answer: they are all being either sold or cancelled by European governments desperate to whip their public finances back into shape after a decade of living beyond their means.
Such measures would once have suggested incomprehensible panic. Now everyone's at it. It would have been more surprising if Mario Monti hadn't called off an Olympic bid that could have swallowed up €9.5bn (£8bn) that his near-bankrupt nation didn't have.
But it's not just radical belt-tightening that we're seeing. A remarkable number of nations are also doing the equivalent of selling the family silver, in a Europe-wide fire sale of state assets with no obvious precedent.
Greece is probably the Continent's biggest auctioneer, with an estimated €50bn of assets up for sale (see far right). But others have had the same idea. Ireland, for example, is considering the sale of billions of euros of assets, from Dublin's historic port to the Irish National Stud horsebreeding operation.
Spain is looking to raise cash by offloading, among other things, two major airports and a large chunk of its most famous lottery ("El Gordo", or "The Fat One").
Britain is hoping to convert the Government's 49 per cent stake in National Air Traffic Services into ready cash, along with the BBC's "doughnut" Television Centre, in West London, and the iconic Admiralty Arch. The latter, on the edge of Trafalgar Square, is expected to fetch £75m and be turned into a hotel. The Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office are also planning spectacular disposals of assets to plug holes in their finances. (And that's without mentioning the sales that have already taken place, such as that of the high-speed rail link from London St Pancras station to the Channel Tunnel, which went to a pair of Canadian pension funds for £2.1bn in November 2010.)

Ground breaking ceremony for Grand Design's new manufacturing facilities.
A glaring number jumped off the pages of the third quarter report of Winnebago Industries, which came out in mid-June. The report showed that, as of May 27, Winnebago's backlog of travel trailers and fifth wheel orders totaled 8,657 units. The bulk of that nearly $270 million tally represented orders placed by dealers of Grand Design RV, a wholly owned Winnebago subsidiary.
To read the rest of the October 2017 issue of RV PRO, click here.
"At Grand Design's current production rate, dealer lead times were becoming lengthy. That was unacceptable and we needed to do a better job of timely supplying our dealers with their orders," Grand Design President and CEO Don Clark says in retrospect.
In fact, by late May, Clark and his team had already prepared a comprehensive expansion proposal to head off future dealer backlog frustrations. The solution is a more than $10 million expansion project that will provide two new, stateof-the-art, 110,000-square-foot manufacturing facilities on a 52-acre site immediately south of Grand Design's Middlebury, Ind., campus.
One of the new plants will provide much-needed capacity for Grand Design's most popular products. The other will house a new product line that Grand Design dealers have urged the RV maker to build, according to Clark.
Grand Design also will build a multi-million-dollar addition to its lamination operations "to keep up with the incredible growing demand for our products," Clark says.
The new facilities will bring Grand Design space under roof to more than 1 million square feet, while adding between 350 and 400 workers, according to Clark's estimates. In all, the expansion will provide much needed production space within the Grand Design business, and will have a positive impact on all Grand Design brands.
Meanwhile, as a service to its end users, Grand Design is building a small campground where customers can stay while repairs are being made to their coaches. The campground, which will include full-service hookups for eight campsites, will be located immediately north of the company's customer service center. The opening is planned for this month.
Grand Design's need for additional space isn't surprising when considering how quickly the RV maker has grown since launching operations in January 2013.
Today, Grand Design's Reflection is currently ranked among the top three fifth wheel brands and has become a leading midpriced fifth wheel in the market, based upon figures from market data firm Statistical Surveys. Separately, the Solitude has grown to No. 6 in fifth wheels, and sales this year are up by 34 percent.
Meanwhile, Momentum is vying for the No. 1 toy hauler brand. It's up more than 36 percent this year. At the same time, the lightweight Imagine travel trailer – Grand Design's newest travel trailer line – in just two years has catapulted to the 16th ranked retail selling travel trailer, and its market share is up more than 115 percent, according to Stat Surveys.
Even as Grand Design broke ground on its two new buildings during a special ceremony on Aug. 23, the RV manufacturer is already thinking strategically about its future needs. Clark says Grand Design has made available 32 additional acres, contiguous to Grand Design's south complex, for yet two more potential additional future factories.
Clark's recently announced expansion plans were enthusiastically welcomed by the Winnebago board of directors as Grand Design continues to steadily expand the company's footprint in the towable market.
Grand Design's growth has come as Winnebago motorhome sales have struggled a bit. Winnebago's motorized sales slumped about 2 percent over the past nine months, costing it market share and about a 20 percent decline in EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), according to the RV maker's third quarter report. But the towables segment, primarily consisting of Grand Design, has surged, bringing nine-month Winnebago sales totals to nearly $1.1 billion – up 52 percent year-over-year. EBITDA for towables was a healthy $34.7 million.
According to the third quarter report, Grand Design's share of the towable sales was $196.9 million in the quarter. Winnebago's total net income for the nine months totaled $46.4 million, compared to $32.3 million a year earlier.
Before the Grand Design acquisition, more than 90 percent of the Winnebago revenues were from the motorized segment, but now revenues are almost evenly split between towables and motorized. And for third quarter, Winnebago reported the highest gross profit margin in nearly a decade.
In fact, over the past year, Winnebago shares have been up by as much as 56 percent.
For his part, Clark says he is a strong believer in Winnebago's prospects moving forward. He singles out for praise Winnebago Towables Vice President and GM Scott Degnan and Winnebago Motorized Vice President Brian Hazelton for their efforts to rejuvenate their respective divisions.
What makes a new factory state-of-the-art?
Clark says the buildings will feature the most advanced pneumatic scaffolding in the industry. Follow that up with "a great ventilation system for employee comfort, because they work hard." Add in high ceilings and LED lighting throughout. At the pre-delivery inspection and final finish areas, intensified lighting will hang down from the conventional lighting and bathe the coach in light so as to aid inspections.
Each plant will have its own PDI department, whose head will report directly to Jerry McCarthy, Grand Design's vice president of service operations.
This extra effort is part of what has helped set Grand Design apart from the rest of the industry since its inception, according to Clark.
"What we hear from our dealers is that our units come in cleaner and they have less issues with a Grand Design product than they do with other products on their lot," he says. Grand Design/ Winnebago considered the tight labor market in northern Indiana before opting for expansion in Middlebury.
Clark notes that, while other manufacturers struggle to attract workers amidst the local area's low unemployment rate, Grand Design continues to have a waiting list of employees ready and willing to work for the company.
In answer to a question about acquisitions during his June 17 conference call, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe acknowledged he needed to choose his words wisely.
"With the Grand Design acquisition, we were comfortable with making an RV play to give us a fighting chance on the towable segment," he said.
Even with the Grand Design purchase, Winnebago still owns just a 5 percent share of the retail towable market.
Happe said there are few private manufacturers left, and he wouldn't tip his hand which ones Winnebago would be interested in buying. Whatever Winnebago would buy would have to fit into the company's plan to become a full-line RV manufacturer, he said.
However, Grand Design's success has whetted the Winnebago appetite to go forward on its business plan to diversify both inside and outside of the RV industry. Happe reported during the conference call that Winnebago continues to explore other acquisitions in the outdoor lifestyle sector. He was not more specific.
Meanwhile, Winnebago has buildings in Oregon that are "not as full or busy as they should be and acres of grass" that could be utilized by other divisions, so moving some Grand Design production out there is a possibility, he suggested.
The integration of Grand Design RV into the Winnebago family has been a smooth one, Clark says, as the foundation was laid well before the acquisition announcement.
Clark adds, "I'm also excited over what we can learn from Winnebago and have an inside seat to see what Winnebago does with the Winnebago-branded products. I am extremely excited for the prospects of the entire Winnebago corporation and very excited to see some of the products being developed and feel optimistic about Winnebago as a whole.
"Winnebago has been very respectful in allowing Grand Design to be an independent business unit within the Winnebago corporate umbrella," Clark adds. "Mike Happe has been very collaborative offering assistance where we need it. He has brought on some of the smartest people I've met in this industry into his ELT – Executive Leadership Team. It's been fun getting to know these talented individuals and learning new things from them. Hopefully, they've learned some insights from us.
"We picked Winnebago because we shared a lot of the same business philosophies and ethics and wanted this to be a venture where 1 and 1 equal more than 2," he says.
So, what does the future hold for Grand Design?
"I was once told by a friend that a company is either 'green and growing, or ripe and rotting'. Grand Design is green and will continue growing," Clark says. "Grand Design will keep true to the commitments we made when starting our company, and will continue growing responsibly in the major towable RV segments where our dealers will see the greatest opportunity.

Sidney Crosby fires up at P.K. Subban as Pittsburgh Penguins close in on Cup
SIDNEY Crosby's teammates keep saying nothing ever changes with the Pittsburgh Penguins captain. That the secret to his greatness is really no secret at all. The Penguins believe he remains the same player and the same person every shift, every night.
In theory, yes. But not always in practice.
What separates Crosby is an ability to raise his play in lock-step with the stakes. His team's grasp on a second straight Stanley Cup tenuous at best heading into Game 5 against Nashville on Thursday, Crosby did more than send a message. He took over. And he led. In more ways than one.

Sure, Crosby dished out three assists in Pittsburgh's lopsided 6-0 win to give the Penguins a 3-2 lead in their increasingly coarse series with the Predators. Yet becoming the franchise's all-time leader in points during this Stanley Cup Final (surpassing his boss, Mario Lemieux) captures only a slice of the brilliance and brawn (yes, really) that pushed Pittsburgh to the verge of a fifth title.
There was his quicksilver first shift, when Crosby split the Predators defence shortly after the opening face-off, then rang shot off the left post while drawing a penalty from Nashville's Ryan Ellis, who tried futilely to slow him down. Pittsburgh scored on the ensuing power play and never looked back. There was his scrum behind the Nashville net late in the first period with frequent tormentor P.K. Subban.
Crosby responded to the All-Star defenseman doing some "UFC move" on his right foot by trying to make Subban's face a permanent part of the ice.
There was the slick blind backhand pass to Conor Sheary just 1:19 into the second period that made it 4-0. Oh, and don't forget the water bottle toss just moments before Phil Kessel's first goal of the series pushed the lead to 5-0. He insists it was accidental.
Crosby only spent 18:03 on the ice during the rout. It just seemed like more.
"When he plays that way it's awfully easy to follow him," Penguins forward Matt Cullen said.
"He's pretty inspirational when he plays that way and he gets to a level that not many guys can get to."

In the process Crosby moved into a tie for 19th on the all-time list for playoff points and is within one victory of celebrating a third championship with Pittsburgh, something even his Hall of Fame mentor was unable to do.
"Sid really understands the opportunity that this team has, and he's not taking anything for granted," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said.
"He doesn't just show up to the rink and put his equipment on. He controls everything within his power to be the very best. He controls his diet. He lives the right way."

And he typically plays the right way, though Crosby's definition of "right" can be altered to fit the moment. One shift he's putting together a breathless end- to-end rush, the next he's scrapping with Subban in a sequence that would have seemed out of character in January. It seems simply part of the territory in June.
Subban drew laughs when he attributed a Game 3 run-in with Crosby to a discussion about Subban's bad breath. The chatty defenseman and his teammates took the joke and ran with it.
Not Crosby, who said Subban "likes the attention" and "wants to make stuff up." With 90 seconds left in the first period Thursday night, all that lingering tension came to a boil, leading the face of the NHL to do something unCrosbylike.

The two-time MVP ended up on top of a stickless Subban and attempted to get up only to have Subban refuse to let go of Crosby's right leg. So Crosby started playing whack a mole with Subban's head, resulting in offsetting minor penalties that only seemed to send another jolt through the Pittsburgh bench.
The Penguins scored in the ensuing 4-on-4 to go up 3-0 and take momentum into Nashville for Game 6 on Sunday night.
"He's giving our team juice," Sheary said.
"But that's what a leader does."

One that has changed the narrative around him over the course of the last two springs.
The cloud of the concussion symptoms that dogged him for the better part of two years in 2011 and 2012 are gone. The last nine months have only emphasised Crosby's resilience. He missed the first couple of weeks of the season with a concussion, then returned to lead the NHL in goals. His playoffs appeared to be in jeopardy when he took a crosscheck to the face from Washington's Matt Niskanen in the second round.

Crosby missed all of one game. His three assists on Thursday moved him within one point of teammate Evgeni Malkin for the NHL lead in playoff points and very much into the conversation for a second straight Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.
A victory over the next two games would make Pittsburgh the first team in 19 years to go back-to-back and give Crosby three championships before his 30th birthday, with the window for more very much open into the early portions of the next decade if he and Malkin can stay healthy.
Of course, it all changes if the Predators reclaim their swagger and rally to complete one of the improbable Cup runs in NHL history. Crosby, perhaps more than anyone else, is well aware the job is not yet finished. Another performance like Game 5, however, and it might be. Soon.

Homecoming for NHL star Ben Harpur headed to Australia for Canada v USA Ice Hockey Classic
Pittsburgh Penguins win second straight Stanley Cup, beating Nashville Predators 2-0 in Game 6.
Aussie Nathan Walker scores first hat-trick, season debut, St Louis Blues
Australian-raised ice hockey star Nathan Walker has made history once again, scoring his first NHL hat-trick for the St Louis Blues against the Detroit Red Wings.
Walker was born in Cardiff, Wales but his family moved to Australia when he was two. It was in Australia he grew up and started his hockey journey that took him all the way to the NHL.
While he has largely played in the NHL's second division in the American Hockey League but had tallied 25 games for the Washington Capitals, Edmonton Oilers and St Louis Blues over the past five years, scoring three goals total.
He doubled that tally in his 26th game in a jaw-dropping performance in the Blues' 6-2 win over the Red Wings.

Walker made history in his NHL debut as the first Australia to make the NHL, and every milestone he ticks off adds his name to the history books again.
He scored a goal in his NHL debut for Washington in 2017 but his chances were few and far between as he toiled away in the AHL.
But Walker has made a massive splash for the Blues, scoring a hat-trick in a phenomenal performance against the Red Wings.

Walker was only called up to the NHL yesterday under emergency conditions from the Springfield Thunderbirds as but looked at home on the biggest stage.
The 27-year-old Aussie scored the first two goals by himself, beating Red Wings goalie Alex Nedeljkovic with one shot between his pads and the second a wrist shot over the goalie's glove.
But it was in the third period that Walker completed the milestone, deflecting a bullet from Blues defenceman Torey Krug, a moment the commentators called "a thing of beauty".
Speaking after the game Walker was chuffed by the opportunity to make history once again. He was also just the second player to score a hat-trick on season debut in franchise history.
"It was incredible … I was just happy we got the two points and we can move onto the next game now," he said.
"Every NHL game you can get in makes it worth it. I think over the course of my career in hockey, my family, my wife and my kid, we've made a lot of sacrifices and it's kind of nice when stuff like this happens."

And Walker's teammates were thrilled for him as well.
The Blues' fourth string goalie Charlie Lindgren was thrilled for the Aussie's man of the match performance.
"It means a lot. I couldn't be happier for the guy, just an unbelievable guy, unbelievable teammate, unbelievable leader. To see him pot three tonight, I'm so proud of him."
Before the game, Blues coach Craig Berube said Walker was a "solid player" who works hard for the team.
"He's a good 200-foot player, he skates well, he competes hard, plays with a lot of energy and emotion, which is good for our hockey team," Berube said. "He has the ability to score some goals too. He scores in the minors pretty consistently."
Social media also went nuts for the performance.
Walker previously represented Australia at World Championships before becoming an NHL player and was drafted for the Capitals in 2014 and was part of the squad for the side in its Stanley Cup winning 2018 campaign.
Growing up, Walker played rugby league for the Cronulla Sharks but moved to the Czech Republic as a teenager in order to chase his NHL dream.
Ben Simmons Philadelphia 76ers, trade news, practice, Travis Kelce slams Simmons, NHL, NFL, Philadelphia Eagles,
The Ben Simmons saga has become so bad that other sports are getting dragged into the fray. Now the Australian has received a brutal reality check from one of Philadelphia's most beloved NFL stars on earning the respect of Philly fans.
Jason Kelce played a key role as the 2017 Eagles won that season's Super Bowl – their first ever – then dressed up as a 'Mummer' (a participant of a unique Philadelphia parade) and gave an inspired speech during their trophy parade.
Now he's taken aim at Simmons, explaining the fans who are notoriously tough on their own players are simply asking for accountability and hard work.

"You write your own narrative," Kelce said, per NBC Sports Philly. "What's going on, I don't want to crush any other players, but what's going on with the 76ers, Ben Simmons, stuff like that. All that is because of a lack of accountability, a lack of owning up to mistakes and a lack of correcting things.
"If all that got corrected, you fix the free throws, if you're getting better as a player, none of this is happening. Everybody can b***h and complain about how tough this city is to play in. Just play better, man. This city will love you."

He added: "This city really appreciates accountability, appreciates people being very honest, real, emotionally invested, caring.
"There's a lot of people who say it's a hard place to play. I think it's pretty f***ing easy, to be honest with you. You just go out there, play hard. Want to be loved in this city as a baseball player? Run to first base. They're going to f***ing loving you. I mean, that's what it comes down to. If you go up and make a bunch of excuses, if you come up here and try to lie to them and act like they don't know what they're talking about — which, sometimes they don't — when you act that way or when you aren't accountable if you're making mistakes, or when you're not getting better or anything like that, they're going to crush you.
"Everybody's going to get crushed at some point. Everybody's going to go through a downturn or struggle, right? At all times this city is going to keep you accountable to be doing your job and performing. But if you stick to it, if you fight through it and you get better and everything like that, they'll respect the hell out of you.
"Even if you're struggling and you're fighting and really trying, they're still going to respect you. That's what I think most guys miss."
A former New England Patriots assistant coach also slammed Simmons. Michael Lombardi, who also worked as an executive with four other NFL franchises, tweeted: "Ben Simmons is embarrassing himself now —not even his ardent defenders can support his behaviour. Believe what you see."
The absurdly complex and stupid system that makes and breaks football's $5.3bn juggernaut
It's not just NFL where Simmons' situation is making a mark. In the NHL, "F**k you Simmons" chants rang out during the Philadelphia Flyers' 6-3 win over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night (local).
TNT's broadcasters at Wells Fargo Center even took digs at Simmons being booted from practice during the game.
As Flyers fans left the game, more "f**k Ben Simmons" chants were yelled.
But the biggest impact is still being felt by Simmons' Sixers.
Despite Simmons missing the season opener, Philadelphia smashed New Orleans 117-97. But that didn't stop the Pelicans fans from delighting in the Australian's absence.
The crowd at Smoothie King centre repeatedly chanted "Where's Ben Simmons?" during the game. And whenever a 76ers player took a free throw, those chants became louder – a reference to Simmons' woeful 34.2 per cent shooting from the charity stripe in the 2021 playoffs.
On one occasion, Sixers star Joel Embiid was on the receiving end of sarcastic chants by fans declaring: "We want Simmons."
What made 'The Great One' great? Wayne Gretzky arrives in Sydney for USA v Canada Ice Hockey Classic, NHL
WAYNE Gretzky was never the biggest, strongest or fastest guy on the ice. A lanky figure with a gentle smile, he didn't look much like his NHL counterparts. But somehow Gretzky ascended to become a legend of the sport. So what is it that helped make 'The Great One' great?
In a career spanning twenty years Gretzky stacked 61 official NHL records, (60 of which he still holds), including the most goals (1,016) and most assists (2,223). He's won the Stanley Cup four times with the Edmonton Oilers and won the Hart Trophy, the league MVP award, on a record nine occasions.
When it comes to ice hockey, there's Wayne Gretzky — light years — and then everyone else.
The word 'legacy' is sometimes overused when reflecting upon the achievements of our sporting heroes, but few compare to the legacy left by Gretzky.

Looking back, it's not his records or accolades he's most proud of though. It's the effort he put in.
"People ask me all the time, if someone said 'How would you like to be remembered?' I always say the same thing: I played a lot of bad games but I know in my heart that I played hard every single game," Gretzky told Fox Sports Australia.
"People came up to me and they said 'You worked hard out there,' and to me, that's the biggest compliment I can get."
Canada's favourite son had many great mentors throughout his playing career, like his father Walter, and 'Mr Hockey' Gordie Howe — who tragically passed away just this month.
However Gretzky credits his grandparents for instilling in him the grit and determination that would make him a legend.
"I probably got that from my grandparents," Gretzky said.
"My grandfather [Tony] was from Belarus, part of the Soviet Union at the time. In 1920 he came over with my grandmother [Mary] who was from Warsaw, and they both went to North America.
"They both worked through to their early 80s. They had a farm, and they did all their own farming, so I think the work ethic that I had as a player was inherited from my grandparents."

That farm is where a young Gretzky would watch ice hockey on TV with his family. It's also where he first pulled on the skates and picked up his stick.
Greatness would soon follow as he rocketed through the junior ranks and made his professional debut at the age of 17 in the WHA (now defunct), before joining the Oilers in the NHL the very next year and creating NHL history playing for Edmonton, the Los Angeles Kings, St Louis Blues and New York Rangers.
Even after his playing days, he continues to be an ambassador for the sport, currently visiting Australia for the USA vs Canada Ice Hockey Classic that bears his name.
"Hockey has been so good to me in my life and everything I have is because of hockey, so I think that we can help promote the game and get everyone to see how great of a sport it really is," Gretzky said.
"The game fares well in colder climate places. Kids in Canada can skate on lakes and ponds in the winter and it doesn't cost parents any money. But we're getting much bigger now with San Jose, LA, Anaheim, more kids are playing, and the first pick in the NHL Draft this week will be from Phoenix, Arizona [Auston Matthews], which nobody ever thought would be possible.
"So it's growing, it just takes time and hopefully twenty years from now, people over here are going to say 'Wow, this is a fun sport'."

Gretzky said getting more kids to watch and play ice hockey is what will help it grow Down Under. He also praised Australia's first (and only) NHL draftee Nathan Walker for helping that cause.
"I heard he plays hard and he has some great abilities, and had a strong season [with Washington Capitals affiliated AHL team Hershey Bears]. It only helps our sport," Gretzky said.
Sydney fans will be in for a treat Saturday night when Gretzky takes to the ice in a four-on-four exhibition prior to the main event.
The five-stop Australian tour has already been a hit in Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide, with Sydney and Brisbane the final games left on the schedule.

Gretzky has also brought along his 25-year-old son Ty, a keen player himself who now works for his dad's hockey camps and is expected to play in Sydney.
As for what 'The Great One' will get up to in his downtime while in town, just don't expect golf to be on his itinerary, despite his son-in-law Dustin Johnson's triumph at the US Open last week.
"I don't get any golf tips," Gretzky said.
"My golf upside is about as good as his hockey upside… which is not very good."
Wayne Gretzky will be at the Qudos Bank Arena for the USA vs Canada Ice Hockey Classic.

Creativity can be defined as the use of ideas and imagination to produce works of artistic expression. Creativity pushes boundaries. It produces entirely new outcomes. It squashes the status quo. It pulverises mediocrity. It excites, motivates and inspires.
The oil and gas industry is a culmination of the greatest minds on the planet who support the number one commodity in the world – oil and gas. The industry is bustling with advances, technological innovation, exponential progress and fascinating results. All of that adds up to extraordinary accomplishment and acknowledgement for what we have achieved.
While some people thrive on the opportunity to create unique experiences and unprecedented surroundings, others just don't have that talent. In the oil and gas industry amongst a sea of mathematical, technically inclined engineers, creativity is often not the highest trait on the competence list when it comes to developing ambience.
So how do we best support our people through the milestones and advancements?
How do we ensure they feel appreciated? How do we celebrate along the way?
These were the questions that plagued the team of Event 3Sixty. They just wanted to make people feel incredibly special and appreciated. So that's exactly what they did. The formed a powerhouse team of detail-oriented experts that deliver "experience" with precision.

It's never as inevitable as all that, though. The teenager was once kicked off the team. The college freshman was not in shape and not that skilled. The young pro chafed under a subordinate role.
Those who know Shenise Johnson might tell you they saw it coming. They saw potential in the girl they called "Moe-Moe," the college woman who so desperately wanted to become great, the first-round draft pick who was so ambitious.
Finally, the "Moe-train" is picking up speed and staying on track.
"I've been praying for this day, I have to say," said her mother, Michelle Reeves.
Shenise Monet Johnson — the Moe-Moe comes from her middle name — has been perhaps the biggest surprise on an Indiana Fever team that has made a surprise run to the WNBA Finals. The best-of-five series against the Minnesota Lynx is tied 1-1 heading into Friday's Game 3 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse (8 p.m., ESPN2).
Johnson's fiery nature was manifested late in Game 2 when she ran into a hard screen, had to leave the game and slammed the scorer's table. That action resulted in the Fever's fourth technical foul of the Finals. In the locker room afterward, Johnson said she was OK.
Johnson, 24, a 5-11 guard, was acquired from the San Antonio Stars in a February trade for two draft picks. In the regular season, she was second on the Fever in scoring (10.9), rebounding (4.9), assists (2.4) and 3-point percentage (.413). She was second in voting for the league's Most Improved Player.
In eight playoff games, she is averaging 11.8 points.
She has been everything Fever executive Kelly Krauskopf thought she could be. Johnson is on a path to becoming an All-Star as soon as next season.
Johnson was raised by a single mother in Rochester, N.Y. She was often cared for by older sister Shawntalae, also a basketball player. Johnson spent summers in Detroit with her father, Dan Johnson, a former college football player.
Johnson's mother said her daughter was suspended from the team as an eighth-grader for involvement in a fight at school. From that moment, the mother said, Johnson stayed out of such trouble.
Johnson, in turn, said her mother has been an inspiration. Reeves worked all day and attended school at night in supporting Johnson and two siblings.
Her maternal grandfather is Jerry McCullough, a bishop of Faith Temple Apostolic Church and a Rochester civil rights leader. Her grandmother is Maggie Davis McCullough, a co-pastor of that church. They are "the rock" behind the family, Johnson's mother said.
The mother said Johnson was lazy about schoolwork until she understood where basketball could take her. She then earned "A's and B's overnight," her mother said.
Johnson led Rush-Henrietta High School to three state championships, was a McDonald's All American and New York's 2008 Miss Basketball.
"She definitely could have been a 'what if' story, and thankfully she's not," said Steve Shepanski, her high school coach.
Johnson chose a college far from home, settling on Miami (Fla.), where she felt a connection to the coach, Katie Meier, and assistant Carolyn Kieger.
Kieger, now the Marquette head coach, was a guard at her alma mater and charged with developing backcourt players at Miami. Johnson was more power forward than guard when she took her talents to South Beach. All she needed was to have her competitiveness channeled, Kieger said.
Kieger kept her on task: Show up at 7 a.m. Work on ballhandling. Shoot more 3-pointers.
It was almost as if she were coaching a pro player already, Kieger recalled. The coach said she quit pushing Johnson after two years because the player was so demanding of herself.
"There's a lot of people who make these goals. But their work habits don't match up," Kieger said.
After Johnson's freshman year, she played for a USA Basketball team that won a gold medal in the under-19 World Championship. She averaged 19.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists as a junior, when she was Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year, and had respective figures of 17.0/8.0/4.4 as a senior.
The Fever often scouted Johnson. Before they could draft her in 2012, she went as the No. 5 selection to San Antonio. Johnson averaged 11.0 points in her second year but saw minutes and productivity decline in her third year.
Given a second chance, the Fever acquired her. She has "found a rhythm in our system," Fever coach Stephanie White said.
"This is what you were made for," she said.
Note: The Fever will honor Katie Douglas and Tammy Sutton-Brown, members of the franchise's 2012 WNBA championship team, prior to Friday's game.

Lucy Sparrow is a quirky felt artist who mass produces felt replicas of branded goods like grocery store items, fresh fruit and veg, daily papers. She loves to recreate well-known and loved foods from British households and then sell them in quaint corner stores where people can purchase these reasonably priced and bite size pieces of modern art. Recently she ventured across the Atlantic and set up a deli in New York City. And at one stage she had a Sex Shop where you could buy hand felted pornos, condoms, masks and dildos by the dozen Wherever she goes, she loves to delight, bemuse and attract people with her creations.
Each creation is a kingdom of kitsch and a parody on the enthusiasm that people have for the different consumables.
"I wanted to make an installation that would get people to feel sick with sheer wonderment and excitement. I've always tried to capture that feeling when you're really excited about something and you want to flap your arms about. The Cornershop, to me, is that. It's the possibility that anything can be achieved and that no matter how mad or silly an idea is, there's someone out there doing it.

"I want people to question my sanity and wonder why on earth someone would devote the best part of a year to making something so zany. Before production of the project started, I'd been planning it for about eight months. The idea actually came about on the Oxford Tube bus going out of London, around about Marble Arch. My partner and I were scribbling crazy ideas down in the back of a notebook and now here we are, it almost doesn't seem real," Lucy says.

"I love Grayson Perry for his playfulness and his confidence to make work that he likes, not what other people like. I also really love the Chapman Brothers and their dark subject matter and pure evil sense of humour. I want to make people uncomfortable and a bit weirded out when they see my work," she says.
Sparrow has been knitting in one way or another since she was four years old. She made a felt star to hang on the Christmas tree and her mum still has it.
"Knitting didn't come naturally, I still hold my needles wrong and it took me years to learn. i used to leave my knitting around my mum and my gran in the hope that they'd get bored and do it for me. I used to go to school with some very holly homemade scarfs that used to drive some of my teachers bonkers," she says.
Of all of her felt creations, she loved creating these ones the best. "I like the Nurofen and the custard and the Spam Fritters. Not everything translates well into felt but they do for some reason," Lucy says.
"You can buy all the items in The Cornershop, even the shop fittings! If you can't make it to the actual shop, you can also get stuff online here too! Love hearts are only available in giant packs and they're going to Swizzel's I'm afraid. I'm tempted to do a limited run though as people seem to really love them," she says.
"The porn mags are one of my favourites too. It's just so wrong on so many levels but it works. It's an innocent, childlike medium which has been taken to the extreme and made into something naughty and beautiful. I love including details in these things, there's a lot of in jokes and hidden meanings in my work and the porn mags are some of the best opportunities for this," she says.
In 2017, Lucy set up a Bodega in New York City called 8 Till Late. All of her 9,000 felt consumables sold out nine days before the end of the exhibition and she had to shut up shop early. That's what I'd call a successful retail enterprise.

Felted irony – marvellous.
And I'm wearing my Welsh felted wool hat in the gravatar!
Yeah I know right! I really wish I could walk into the shop and buy something. I dont know if it's still in operation but if so, it would be worth going there.
Love the felt hat, very stylish 🙂

This is amazing!!!
I know right. I can't decide which felt item I would want more – a felt sex toy might be an amusing thing to show visitors who come over to my place. A felt can of Ambrosia might be also highly confusing and amusing to people

Q: Dependecy Injection not working my qualifier is :
@Qualifier
@Target({ TYPE, METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface JPADAOQ {
}

this is the bean that i want inject
@JPADAOQ
@ApplicationScoped
public class PlotDaoImpl extends JpaDao<Long, Plot> implements PlotDao {
    public PlotDaoImpl() {
      super(Plot.class);
    }
}

finally here is where i want my bean to be injected
@ManagedBean
@SessionScoped
public class PlotController {
    @Inject @JPADAOQ
    private PlotDaoImpl plotDaoImpl;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
      if (plotDaoImpl==null) {
        System.out.println("plotDaoImpl null");
      } else {
        System.out.println("plotDaoImpl not null");
      }
    }

But i always got it null so i can't use it.

I can't figure out why my bean is not injected int @PostConstruct method.

A: @javax.faces.bean.ApplicationScoped specify that the JSF managed bean is application scoped, yet you must annotated to be a managed bean.
@javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped is a CDI story. You must produce it somehow. Maybe add a method in PlotDaoImpl annotated with @Produces that returns this.

A: Firstly, I assume your @ApplicationScoped is in fact javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped. Although it would cause no harm if it wasn't as all discovery mode will still pick the class as a bean.
Secondly, @ManagedBean annotation can be removed as the CDI will automatically pick up the class as a managed bean.
And thirdly, make sure you actually have an active session when you test your PlotController. You have to let CDI create the PlotController bean for you in order to make injection work.
If naught else helps, you might try to replace @SessionScoped with @RequestScoped as the behaviour might slightly differ when it comes to bean availability during @PostConstruct methods but that is just a guess.

The Executive Committee of the Arab Air Carriers' Organization (AACO) held its 82nd meeting in Amman, which was hosted by Royal Jordanian (RJ) Airline. The meeting, held at InterContinental Hotel, was headed by Saleh Bin Nasser Al Jasser, Director General of Saudi Arabian Airlines and Chairman of AACO Executive Committee. The attendees included RJ President & CEO Stefan Pichler, AACO's Secretary General Abdul Wahab Teffaha and the CEOs of eight Arab airlines that are members of the Executive Committee. The participants held discussion on tackling several strategic issues and development of some joint projects among AACO members. Besides, the committee discussed internal issues regarding preparation of AACO's 51st Annual General Meeting to be held between November 5 and 7, 2018. Pichler said RJ is pleased to host the chief executives of the Arab Carriers, and he underlined the significance of these meetings that gather the Arab airlines under one umbrella to find the best solutions to the problems that the aviation industry faces in the region. Royal Jordanian has been an AACO member since 1965. Teffaha said that one of the tasks of the Executive Committee is to supervise the work of the organisation and discuss the main issues that concern the Arab Carriers in various fields, which include joint projects among members being managed by AACO, aero-political matters in the world and the region and AACO's priorities in the upcoming days. AACO is made up of 33 Arab airlines that operate over 1,400 aircraft with an average age of 7 years, half the age of other global fleets.


CFB technology's ability to choose from a range of opportunity coals and carbon-neutral biomasses, recycled and waste streams enable power producers to generate low cost, carbon flexible yet reliable baseload power generation, a notable and distinct feature of CFB technology over conventional PC boilers.
South African power producers require low cost, environmentally clean yet very reliable baseload power generation that can leverage South Africa's vast indigenous coal resources. Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) Boiler Technology has increased its world-wide presence principally due to its highly-desirable fuel flexibility feature combined with significantly reduced air emissions, particularly SOx, NOx and even CO2.


Trying to understand Walker's inclusive process and thinking, I experience both hope and exhaustion. SO much is possible, and so MUCH is possible! But what I find most important is Lisa's exploration of the cultural function of jewelry, and a revitalization of it to be relevant to now. Walker's jewelry is the extreme version of the most personal contemporary appurtenance. It is the physical manifestation of the mental and virtual baggage of living NOW. It is a stream of consciousness record of the whims and obsessions of an over-mediafied, production inundated, anxious global culture. If our collective subconscious brain could turn its pockets inside out, showing the world what we are really made of, it would look like Lisa's work.

The objective of this article is to explore how multimorbidity is defined in the scientific literature, with a focus on the roles of diseases, risk factors, and symptoms in the definitions.
Systematic review. Methods: MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, and The Cochrane Library were searched for relevant publications up until October 2013. One author extracted the information. Ambiguities were resolved, and consensus reached with one co-author.
Outcome measures were: cut-off point for the number of conditions included in the definitions of multimorbidity; setting; data sources; number, kind, duration, and severity of diagnoses, risk factors, and symptoms. We reviewed 163 articles. In 61 articles (37%), the cut-off point for multimorbidity was two or more conditions (diseases, risk factors, or symptoms). The most frequently used setting was the general population (68 articles, 42%), and primary care (41 articles, 25%). Sources of data were primarily self-reports (56 articles, 42%). Out of the 163 articles selected, 115 had individually constructed multimorbidity definitions, and in these articles diseases occurred in all definitions, with diabetes as the most frequent. Risk factors occurred in 98 (85%) and symptoms in 71 (62%) of the definitions. The severity of conditions was used in 26 (23%) of the definitions, but in different ways. The definition of multimorbidity is heterogeneous and risk factors are more often included than symptoms. The severity of conditions is seldom included. Since the number of people living with multimorbidity is increasing there is a need to develop a concept of multimorbidity that is more useful in daily clinical work.
The increasing number of multimorbidity patients challenges the healthcare system. The concept of multimorbidity needs further discussion in order to be implemented in daily clinical practice.
Many definitions of multimorbidity exist and most often a cut-off point of two or more is applied to a range of 4–147 different conditions.
Diseases are included in all definitions of multimorbidity.
Risk factors are often included in existing definitions, whereas symptoms and the severity of the conditions are less frequently included.

Early on Monday the 21st June 1926 the Geelong Mechanics' Institute was destroyed by fire. It was the fourth fire in the property, and police were suspicious it was the work of a "maniac". The Mechanics' Institute housed what was considered Victoria's most historic library, and the largest outside Melbourne. A large number of its 35,000 volumes were destroyed. The Weekly Times reported, "In the library were catalogues published as far back as 1852, and many historic records of the gold diggings."
But the most reported loss was that of Englishmen, Mr. Allan Wilkie, a Shakespearean actor-manager who was a darling of the Australian theatre-going public.

I have mentioned the good stuff from Kikki.K before, but I just wanted to focus in on this book – 365 Days. It's a journal, but it doesn't start at the beginning of the year, you can pick it up and start whenever.
I think there are good and bad points about this. Firstly, it's nice not to be tied in to a Jan 1st start. It's good that it's not just blank, the numbers will help keep a bit of order to things, but it does mean you are committed to writing every day. That's a positive thing but it might not be up everyone's street. I like the idea of taking it on for a project, whatever that might be.
