How Much Does A Prosthetic Leg Cost

Prosthetic legs not only save lives but also dignity. They represent a new beginning. Remember Boston Marathon bombing, ten days after the tragedy, 14 of those who got injured have been amputated of their limbs. At least two of the 14 had multiple amputations and would have to get prosthetic legs, but how much does a prosthetic leg cost?

According to the website of Hospital for Special Surgery, the prosthetic leg cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 dollars. Glenn Garisson, director of prosthetic and orthodontist said that it will take within two to four weeks for an amputee to walk on their own after receiving prosthesis. Most amputees have only one prosthesis at first but later on will get a second one, to accommodate their new physique.

For How Long Would Prosthetic Leg Last?

Getting a new leg is a big yes, especially for those who need it with the aid of a prosthetic leg, however, will the price of prosthetic legs be enough to last them the rest of their lives? This is one of the questions that could come to mind of those who are considering to wear them.

The answer is, it doesn’t. The sad thing about prosthetic limbs is that they could only last in between three to five years. This is if they are able to withstand the wear and tear within those years. With this, they will have to be Artificial leg cost summaryreplaced in an amputee course of a lifetime, therefore the price of prosthetic legs will not just be a onetime charge, as prosthetic legs could be more expensive in the next time they try to get a new one.

The great thing though about getting a prosthetic leg is that strength in character in the person wearing it. It is both exciting and scary at the same time. It is a process towards healing and a return to the new normal after all the surgery and therapy that you’ve been through. With this, it is important that you make an informed decision regarding the use of prosthesis, and the kind of prosthesis that is meant for you.

Why You Need One?

A prosthetic leg is an artificial replacement for a missing limb. It is simply a tool where an amputee can be able to regain an independence from an amputation.

It will always depend on you if you would want to have it and what your personal goals in life are. If you choose to have a crutch of a wheelchair instead of having to pay the price of prosthetic legs, is up to you. As long what it helps you be mobile again, it is totally fine.

If you consider getting a prosthesis, it would be important that you know what you want to do with it, and the activities you will want to do with the help of the prosthesis. For the prosthetic leg cost you are getting will you be able to walk or run with it? Or would you care about the way it would look on you?

Prosthetic is not a one size fits all kind of device. In order to be successful in wearing them is to follow your doctor’s advice and work with your therapist to help you should you have any concerns and other needs. Your therapist will also help you and teach you how to use your new legs. In no time, you will be able to live normally again with the help of your prosthesis.

How Will It Look Like?

Besides the question of how much does a prosthetic leg cost is being answered, most people who wants to have it, can’t help imagine how it would look like on them. Each device will be different and it will depend on the level of the amputation, needs, and Physical ability of the wearer. The prosthesis will help the patient by creating a device that will be custom made to fit the wearer. He or she will also provide suggestions based on the amputation level of the wearer.

For a standard prosthesis, the prosthetic leg cost will be much worth it as is made of conventional components that will help in creating a leg and prosthetic foot. This makes the price of prosthetic legs worth it. There will be a socket there that will fit on the residual limb of the wearer.Prosthetic Leg

How To Pay For The Prosthesis

As we have mentioned earlier the prosthetic leg cost is very expensive just like buying a car. However, the typical procedure in order to pay for one is that, the insurance plan of the wearer will partly cover for the price of prosthetic legs. The wearer will need to closely work with their insurance company in order to understand the types and services that will be covered under the wearer’s insurance policy. As you know, there will be phone calls to make and papers to sign in order to provide proper documentation. The wearer will have to be his or her own advocate in checking into the policy that will include prosthetic coverage and he or she must know the exclusion and limitations that the policy can offer.

The wearer will have to make sure that he or she also works closely with the prosthetist regarding the fitting and alignment of the wearer’s leg. The service should be bundled with the prosthetic leg cost. This is in order to avoid asking the questions again about ‘how much does a prosthetic leg cost?’ The prosthetist should also be working alongside with the wearer until such time he or she reaches the comfort level and have been able to adjust with the new leg’s alignment.

Should you need more information with regards to prosthetic leg cost, you can check the website page for Financial Assistance for Prosthetic Services. They will be able to provide you with the data sheets and things that you will need to know about durable medical equipment and medical assistive devices.

I have been going to see Sandra for some time now, well over a year and i must say she has been very helpful in my journey. I feel that she has aided me through some rough times and the sessions have been very much tailored to suit. The environment made me feel very comfortable and she has been very accommodating. I am a man of understanding, so the psychodynamic nature of the sessions really gives a greater understanding of why we do things, all being linked to our youth. Thus, being able to apply those to my current life and make better decisions based on what i have learned. Overall I would highly recommend her and will continue to use her until which time I am ready to move on and use the things i have learned in our sessions.

I've found my experience of counseling with Sandra to be a very positive one. It was lovely to be able to talk to Sandra as she made me feel comfortable enough to share my issues easily with her. I've been able to work through things with her gradually, at my own pace and having her perspective has been very beneficial for me. I feel she has really helped me to grow as a person and to start moving in the right direction thanks to her compassion and understanding. I'm very grateful to Sandra for the help she has given me. I would recommend Sandra to anyone needing counseling.

Sowing seeds indoors and getting great results is really easy as long as you follow a few basic guidelines.

larkspur-longHow to Sow Annual Seeds Indoors

You don’t need any chemicals or expensive equipment. Please note that good hygiene is essential to prevent seedings damping off and dying.

  1. Use clean seed trays or module trays. If possible use new ones or scrub out your old ones with hot water and a drop of bleach. I love terracotta pots and old wooden seed trays but for starting seeds I have found that plastic is best.
  2. Use a nice fresh new bag of seed compost (there are many to choose from… a light compost with small particles is much cleaner and easier to handle and your seeds will easily be able to push their way through)
  3. Fill your seed trays or module trays to the top with compost and firm applying even pressure so that the surface is level. This will help your seedlings germinate evenly.
  4. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly (sorry… hygiene again!) then scatter a pinch of seed thinly across your seed tray or sow just a few seeds per cell. Resist the urge to go over the same tray again with more seeds. Most seeds will germinate and that tiny pinch will produce a lot of lovely plants for your garden.
  5. Cover the seeds with sieved compost. Use a garden sieve or an old plastic colander for this. If the seeds are roughly 2mm long then cover them with 2mm of compost, if they are 3mm then cover them with 3mm of sieved compost and so on.
  6. Label each tray with the date and name of plants sown. If you use a pencil or permanent marker pen you’ll be able to read the label in a few weeks time! This is especially useful if you sow several similar plants. The photo below shows Salvia viridis… commonly known as Clary Sage. Without the labels I wouldn’t know which seedlings were all blue and which were the Bouquet Mixed which are pink, white and blue.
  7. Stand the seed tray in a clean tray of fresh slightly warm water until the surface of the compost is moist. The water will draw the seeds into the compost and the surface will sink a little.
  8. Allow excess water to drain way from the soaked seed trays then cover them with a plastic lid or a sheet of cling film to keep the moisture in. Most hardy annuals need a a warm (16°C-20°C) dark place to start the germination process. A boiler room, airing cupboard or even a corner of a warm room in your home is ideal. If it’s not dark just cover your seedlings with a dark towel or something similar.
  9. Check your seeds every day for shoots then remove the plastic lid/clingfilm and move the tray to a cool light place such as a windowsill or greenhouse when it looks like most have germinated. Hardy annual seedlings can cope with much lower temperatures once they begin to grow.Clarkia-Seedlings
  10. Allow the tiny seedlings to grow on and water from below when the compost looks dry. When they are large enough to handle pot up into larger cell or small pots and feed each week to encourage root growth.
  11. Acclimatise your young plants to conditions outside by hardening them off. Move them outside each day for a week so they become used to the cooler temperatures. Once they are hardened off (foliage becomes tougher/not as soft) and you are sure there is no chance of frost then it’s safe to plant them out.
  12. Woo Hoo! Pat yourself on the back and pour yourself a gin and tonic. You’ve done it!
    Many Hardy Annuals take just 12 weeks from seed to flower so you can look forward to some beautiful flowers like this in just a few weeks time.

6 Monday Flowers

There’s nothing like picking a bucket full of beautiful blooms you have grown yourself.
Is this the year you have a go at sowing seeds in your garden? Happy Gardening! Gillian 🙂

Adapting to the new normal: innovation and collaboration in longitudinal studies during COVID-19

By Andy Wong, MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL
October 16, 2020

The uncertainty around COVID-19, the asymptomatic transmission and the immediate and long-term health consequences have highlighted the responsibility that longitudinal studies have to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their study participants.

Like many others, the MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL took the decision to halt face-to-face data collections for two of its cohort studies, Insight 46 and LINKAGE, before the official UK lockdown on Monday 23rd March 2020. Whilst this had a significant impact on the studies, we were able to adapt quickly and begin novel data collections to understand the impact of COVID-19. Now, several months since the peak of the pandemic, we are implementing processes that will allow us to continue collect data in this ‘new normal’.

Innovation – LINKAGE: COVID-19 sub-study

Numerous studies were set up to research COVID-19, but LINKAGE, which tracks the health and wellbeing of those aged over 70 in the London Borough of Camden, seeking to understand how acute illness is linked to health and social care outcomes, was uniquely placed to understand why the virus disproportionately affects older people. The study team followed participants at all stages of infection: from being well, into early infection and throughout the course of the illness. All participants were visited at home over a period of 16 weeks by a healthcare worker in Personal Protective Equipment (masks, gloves, aprons) to obtain swab and blood samples – providing a baseline and evidencing exposure to the virus at this point. They then received regular follow-up health assessments by telephone call and online questionnaires. Key to the success of this study was the rapid recruitment of available staff, who had suddenly stopped working on suspended clinical trials, and were able to begin working on this study immediately. The study has now recruited 1,467 participants and taken 1,465 samples (92 of which were symptomatic).

Collaboration – NSHD and SABRE

The pandemic has emphasised the value of collaboration and embracing new technology in order to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. The MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD) and Southall and Brent REvisited (SABRE) study routinely use the traditional mode of a paper questionnaire to collect data. We tend to repeat questions at multiple ages to get longitudinal data so postal questionnaires are easy to design, but they also require significant work in administering and data processing. As a result of the lockdown however, we needed to move quickly to collect real-time data on COVID-19, but also realised that using postal questionnaires would not be the most optimum route. An opportunity presented itself to work closely with the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) at UCL, which runs four of the UK’s longitudinal studies, and a web survey was rapidly designed and sent to all six studies. Across all studies, we were only able to invite those who had provided an email address to participate, but were extremely pleased that over 18,000 study members across the cohorts responded to this request. Initial analyses of this first questionnaire are underway and we have just launched a second questionnaire.

This time round we have used a fieldwork agency to administer the questionnaire and are now able to invite more study members to participate by sending out invitation letters, emails and text reminders. In NSHD, early indication from the fieldwork suggests a similar response rate to the first questionnaire, but also highlights the importance of collecting data from the 20% of the participants who do not have computers. Thus, the use of technology enabled us to react quickly and paves the way for future data collections to be carried out online. However, in order to obtain a more representative sample, we must also ensure that we engage with participants through traditional modes, such as paper questionnaires or telephone interviews.

Resuming clinic – Insight46

Insight46 was due to finish Wave 2 of data collection in June 2020, but we decided to halt clinic visits ahead of the lockdown as a precaution. In spite of the disappointing news, there was a general feeling of relief from the study members, who, like the rest of us, were at that time uncertain of the risks of the virus and had concerns about travelling into London where the clinic is situated. Although we have been unable to collect any new data, the team has been busy analysing the existing data, publishing 6 new papers. As lockdown restrictions began to ease, the team started to figure out how to restart face-to-face data collection in a COVID-secure manner. The overarching principle has been to ensure the safety of study members and the research team, whilst also ensuring that the highest quality data can be obtained. In order to minimise contact time, the team have developed a blended data collection approach: conducting remote data collection using a virtual platform and inviting participants to London for equipment-specific testing. The response from study members has been extremely positive and supportive, with successful brain imaging scans now starting to be carried out again.

The future

Evidence from Europe indicates the UK is poised for a second peak, the start of which we are already witnessing, and that there is a scientific imperative to continue research to understand the impact on the population now and in the long-term. One of the benefits of well-established studies, such as NSHD and SABRE, is that we can investigate these impacts, not just through questionnaires, but also through in-depth phenotyping. At LHA, we have made enormous headway in adapting our data capture tools to collect online survey data, which we hope we can continue in the future, but must remain cautious in our approach to resuming clinics. The current necessary restrictions limit the clinic capacity – we anticipate that this may be necessary until the pandemic subsides – so the blended clinic approach may be the best balance of maintaining participant safety and enabling grant funded research to continue.

As key stakeholders, study members are important in shaping the way we collect data and it is therefore imperative that we continue to be adaptable and creative, not only in devising acceptable data collections but also in how we engage, consult and communicate with our study members. Of course, this would not have been possible without the research teams, who have adapted to a new way of working, and the invaluable support from our study members that we can continue to understand the impacts of COVID-19.

Greek police detain, question journalist Antonis Rigopoulos for allegedly wearing incorrect mask at protest

On November 17, 2020, traffic police in Athens stopped Greek journalist Antonis Rigopoulos while he was covering a protest, and proceeded to detain him and question him about his work, according to a report by his employer, the news website Documento, and Rigopoulos, who communicated with CPJ via email.

Rigopoulos was using his cellphone to live-stream a rally organized by the Greek Communist Party on the anniversary of a 1973 student uprising, and police stopped him for allegedly not wearing a mask that complied with the country’s COVID-19 regulations, although he was wearing a full-face gas mask to protect against tear gas, according to that report and Rigopoulos.

Police forced Rigopoulos to turn off his phone, refused to examine his press card, cursed at him, and took him into custody at a local traffic police headquarters, according to Rigopoulos, who also wrote about his experience for the local English-language news website Koutipandoras.

At the police station, officers questioned Rigopoulos aggressively about the mask he was wearing and what he was doing at the demonstration, pushed him against a chair, and cursed at him, he told CPJ and wrote in that article. After about half an hour, the officers released Rigopoulos without charge, but fined him 300 euros (US$355) for the alleged mask violation, he said.

Rigopoulos told CPJ that police informed him on November 19 that they had canceled the fine because of a procedural error in the forms officers had filled out. Rigopoulos said he filed a complaint against the police for their actions.

CPJ emailed questions to the press department of the Greek National Police but did not receive any reply.

Welcome back to Selections, a series of artist-curated playlists from those in the know.

“I make quite intentional art. Everything I do is with purpose and for a reason,” said Nia Archives in our Issue 131 profile

The fast-rising producer, vocalist and DJ is earning recognition for this commitment to both her craft and the sounds that came before her – be it jungle and d’n’b or soul and jazz. Not forgetting the influence of DIY and sound system culture on her music, which she’s previously dubbed “soft-hearted lo-fi jungle for introverted extroverts”.

Archives, who was born in Bradford and raised in Leeds (though she’s currently based in London following a stint in Manchester), released her debut EP Headz Gone West in April 2021. It was an impressive record from a then-future talent, one who has since graced club nights and festivals across Europe, and released a smattering more releases including a six-track EP entitled Forbidden Feelingz. A multi-faceted collection, the record fused frenetic breakbeats, saccharine hooks and a speedy rush of euphoria with diaristic lyrics and subject matters such as body dysmorphia and mental health.

Ahead of her appearance at El Dorado Festival later this month, Archives compiles a playlist filled with her “favourite Bandcamp gems” and highlights a slew of like-minded artists including Anz, Eliza Rose, Dillinja, Coco Bryce and Sully. This one’s for bright days and balmy summer evenings. A must.

Nia Archives plays El Dorado, Eastnor Castle, on 30 June to 3 July

A Trip Down Memory Lane

This past weekend I went on a road trip. I got in my car, alone, and drove five hours southwest to Normal, Illinois, to the campus of Illinois State University. A dear man, a father figure and mentor, passed away and I attended his memorial service. In addition to paying my respects, I had the chance to reunite with several people with whom I spent four happy years. I hadn't seen most of these people in thirty-five years and wasn't sure what to expect, but I really wanted to go. So I made a hotel reservation, filled up my tank, and went.
The weekend surpassed all my expectations. The small town of Normal has grown so much I was glad I had printed out directions to all the events as well as the hotel, because the streets have all changed so much. The wide-open spaces between the high rise dorms have now been filled in with various businesses. Even the twenty-nine-story dorm where I lived is no longer visible from the highway. I didn't see it until I was only a block away! But I got to all the places I needed to go, and got some great pictures.
It was so good to see my old friends. I wasn't the only one who had traveled. Above is a picture of me talking to two women who were sorority sisters. One drove in from Kentucky, and the other had flown in from Delaware! We talked, laughed, shared memories, and at the end of the weekend, promised to keep in touch and return. Thanks to social media, keeping in touch is a lot easier.
So my trip down memory lane was a good one. I listened to several success stories, some funny stories, and a few of heartache. Most of us are retirees or are close to it. Most of us have kids who are young adults, and we proudly shared what they're doing with their lives. We're planning another get together next summer, and I won't hesitate to go. It'll be great.

BACKGROUND: An analysis of dietary patterns or combinations of foods may provide insight regarding the influence of diet on the risk of colon and rectal cancer. OBJECTIVE: A primary aim of the Dietary Patterns and Cancer (DIETSCAN) Project was to develop and apply a common methodologic approach to study dietary patterns and cancer in 4 European cohorts: the Alpha-Tocopherol Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study (Finland-ATBC), the Netherlands Cohort Study (NLCS) on Diet and Cancer, the Swedish Mammography Cohort (SMC), and the Ormoni e Dieta nella Eziologia dei Tumori (Italy-ORDET). Three cohorts (ATBC, NLCS, and SMC) provided data on colon and rectal cancer for the present study. DESIGN: The cohorts were established between 1985 and 1992; follow-up data were obtained from national cancer registries. The participants completed validated semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaires at baseline. RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis, conducted within each cohort, identified 3-5 stable dietary patterns. Two dietary patterns-Vegetables and Pork, Processed Meats, Potatoes (PPP)-were common across all cohorts. After adjustment for potential confounders, PPP was associated with an increased risk of colon cancer in the SMC women (quintile 4(multivariate) relative risk: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.12, 2.34; P for trend = 0.01). PPP was also associated with an increased risk of rectal cancer in the ATBC men (quintile 4(multivariate) relative risk: 2.21; 95% CI: 1.07, 4.57; P for trend = 0.05). Neither pattern was associated with the risk of colon or rectal cancer in the NLCS women and men. CONCLUSION: Although certain dietary patterns may be consistent across European countries, associations between these dietary patterns and the risk of colon and rectal cancer are not conclusive.

Soil Residual Herbicide Options after Soybean Emergence

Soil Residual Herbicide Options after Soybean Emergence

Soybean planting was early this year in Nebraska, but dry soil conditions in most of May resulted in poor activation of pre-emergence herbicides applied in rain-fed fields and subsequently less than expected weed control (Figure 1). The cool weather and wet soil conditions in last week of May have disrupted the normal sequence of early season field operations such as herbicide applications. Early season weed control is imperative to maximize soybean yield. PPO-inhibiting herbicides have to be applied before soybean emergence, therefore they cannot be applied now as a majority of soybeans have emerged in south central Nebraska (Figure 2 and 3). A few residual herbicides such as Anthem Maxx, Dual II Magnum, FirstRate, Outlook, Prefix, Pursuit, Warrant, Warrant Ultra and Zidua can be applied after soybean emergence. Some of these herbicides such as FirstRate (only for broadleaf weeds), Pursuit, Prefix and Warrant Ultra have foliar activity to control small, emerged weeds.

Emerged soybeans
Figure 2. Emerged soybeans in a field near Clay Center, NE.
Soybeans at unifoliate stage
Figure 3. Soybeans at unifoliate stage. Some residual herbicides are labeled to apply after soybean emergence.

Given most soybeans grown in Nebraska are glyphosate-resistant, glyphosate can be tank-mixed with residual herbicides with no foliar activity such as Dual II Magnum, Warrant, or Zidua to control weeds already emerged at the time of application. Six weeds have evolved resistance to glyphosate, so glyphosate will not be effective for their control. Tank-mix other soybean post-emergence herbicides to control emerged weeds. This would add a different site of action and might effectively control glyphosate-resistant weeds. Tank-mix partners may cause other effects regardless of the application timing. Follow application timing and other restrictions of tank-mix herbicide partners as noted on the herbicide labels.

Treatment Guide

There are several factors to consider when addressing weed control with residual herbicides applied after soybean emergence:

  • Soybean growth stage,
  • tank mix partner,
  • weed height (for tank-mixing residual herbicide with foliar active herbicide)
  • adjuvants

The following is specific information for residual herbicides that can be applied after soybean emergence:

Anthem MAXX is a premix of fluthiacet-methyl (Cadet) and pyroxasulfone (Zidua). Cadet is very effective for control of existing velvetleaf, but not labeled for waterhemp and Palmer amaranth control; therefore, this herbicide pre-mix will not control existing pigweeds. Pyroxasulfone (Zidua) in Anthem Maxx will provide residual control of pigweeds and other weeds. Anthem MAXX can be applied up to the 6th trifoliate soybean leaf stage.

Dual II Magnum can be applied at a rate of 1 to 1.33 pints per acre as a postemergence treatment to soybeans from emergence up through the 3rd trifoliate leaf stage. Dual II Magnum will not control emerged weeds so it must be applied to a weed-free soil surface or in a tank mixture with products that provide post-emergence control of weeds present at the time of application. Do NOT apply Dual II Magnum if S-metolachlor products such as Dual Magnum or Dual II Magnum have already been applied.

FirstRate may be applied any time prior to the 50% flowering stage of soybeans. Application prior to full emergence of the first soybean trifoliate leaf may cause temporary yellowing or chlorosis. Tank-mix partners may cause other effects regardless of application timing.

Pursuit can be applied early post-emergence in soybean when weeds are actively growing and before they exceed a height of 3 inches. Apply Pursuit before soybean bloom at an application rate of 4 oz per acre. Base application timing on weed size and not crop growth stage. Do NOT tank-mix Pursuit with clomazone-containing herbicides such as Command. Use a crop oil concentrate at 1.25 gallon per 100 gallon of spray solution.

Prefix can be applied at 2 to 2.33 pints per acre as a post-emergence application from cracking through the 3rd trifoliate stage of soybeans. Necrotic spotting, leaf crinkling, or curling of soybean leaves may occur following post-emergence application, but soybean soon outgrow these effects and develop normally. Prefix alone may control or partially control some emerged broadleaf weeds; however, for broad spectrum control, tank-mix with other herbicides. Add non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v to the final spray volume. Do NOT use crop oil concentrate when applying Prefix post-emergence as these spray adjuvants may increase soybean injury.

Outlook is a selective residual herbicide for controlling annual broadleaf AND grass weeds. Emerged weeds will not be controlled and must be controlled with an appropriate post-emergence herbicide. Outlook can be applied from emergence to 5th trifoliate soybean leaf stage. The application rates in a single application are 12 to 18 fl oz per acre on coarse-texture soils and 14 to 21 fl oz per acre on medium-texture or fine-texture soils. This can also be influenced by soil organic matter content. If Outlook is applied in two split applications, maintain a minimum 14 day-interval between applications and do NOT exceed a seasonal total of 24 fl oz per acre.

Warrant is an acetochlor-based residual herbicide that can be applied post-emergence in soybean after soybeans are completely emerged, but before they reach R2 (initiation of flowering) growth stage. It can be applied at 1.25 to 2 quarts per acre, depending on soil texture and organic matter content. The optimum timing and rate of application is when soybeans are V2 to V3 stage at 1.5 quarts per acre. Warrant is a residual herbicide, so it must be tank-mixed with a foliar active herbicide to control existing weeds.

Warrant Ultra is a premix of acetochlor (Warrant) and fomesafen (Flexstar). In Nebraska, Warrant Ultra can be applied only in counties East of or intersected by U.S. Highway 281) Fomesafen has foliar activity; therefore, it can provide control of existing weeds if they are less than 4 inch tall. It is a contact herbicide, so enough coverage is needed. Acetochlor (Warrant) will provide residual control of number of weeds. Warrant Ultra can be applied up to R2 (full flowering) soybean growth stage.

Zidua is a selective rate-dependent residual herbicide for control of annual grasses, broadleaf and sedge weeds. It can be applied to soybean at 1st trifoliate leaf stage to 6th trifoliate leaf stage. Do NOT apply Zidua to soybean from emergence (at cracking) through unifoliate stage or injury may occur. The early post-emergence application rate is in a range of 1 to 3.5 oz per acre, depending on soil texture. Zidua has no foliar activity, so it must be tank-mixed with foliar active herbicide for control of existing weeds depending on soybean trait planted.

BullPerks Allocates $90k in a Whitelist Campaign ahead of IDO on June 14

Blockchain Press Releases
BullPerks Allocates $90k in a Whitelist Campaign ahead of IDO on June 14

BullPerks, a fair and decentralized venture capital, plans to distribute $90k in their private allocation whitelist for users who complete simple tasks as directed, an announcement on June 12 reads.

$90k Allocated to a whitelist Campaign

The audited community-facing and multi-chain platform is “heeding” the calls from its growing user base. The offer is available for 300 lucky winners who will split the huge $90k while getting a chance to participate in the private round sale.

Winners will buy the token at $0.04, enjoying the same VC terms as investors who took part in the private round. The vesting schedule will be 11 percent upon token generation and 8.9 percent for the next ten months.

To participate, users need to fill out a form and complete some easy tasks to be eligible as part of their whitelist campaign.

These tasks include following the official BullPerks Twitter account, joining their official Telegram group, and subscribing to the BullPerks announcement channel.

BullPerks IDO Begins on June 14

This marketing drive is strategic for BullPerks. Its creators say it is the fairest with plans of launching in various protocols, including Polygon, Tron, and other high profile public chains by the end of the month.

BullPerks IDO will start on June 14, 2021, launching first on TrustPad before activating at ZeroSwap and BSClaunch on June 16.

The team said they opted to raise on these platforms because they are intuitive and easy to use.

The Decentralized Venture Capital Redefines Project Valuation

In each Launchpad, BullPerks has allocated 1.5 million tokens with plans of raising $225k across the three platforms.

The amount raised will be on top of those received from private investors in May.

BullPerks raised $1.8 million from top-tier crypto funds, including Moonwhale Ventures, GD10 Ventures, Alphabit, Sora Ventures, and others.

Commenting, Dr. Deeban Ratneswaran of GD10 Ventures said:

“BullPerks empowers small investors to compete with whales by allowing them to accrue lucrative projects at seed and private stages. We’re impressed by the strong and deeply experienced team that operates BullPerks, supported by a reliable network across multiple blockchains. Their capacity to select disruptive ideas speaks for itself.”

At the same time, Jason Fang of Sora Ventures believes BullPerks is bringing forth a solution that will redefine how retailers evaluate blockchain projects in the future.

The month of March has been a tale of two halves for the cryptocurrency market and the weakness seen since the start of the year has began to fade. Bitcoin’s (BTC) strong move above the $40,000 level is helping to lift sentiment across the sector, and DeFi tokens are also beginning to move upward.

Data from cryptocurrency market intelligence firm Messari shows that a majority of the top tokens in the DeFi sector have posted double-digit gains over the past 30 days, led by THORChain (RUNE), which has increased by 199.81%, and Aave (AAVE), which has seen its price increase 53.95%

Top 12 DeFi assets. Source: Messari

Here’s a rundown of the state of DeFi as the sector attempts to get back to its former glory and kickstart a new bull run.

Value locked in DeFi is on the uptrend

Some of the best evidence for the ongoing comeback in DeFi can be found by looking at the total value locked (TVL) across the sector, which now sits at $228.05 billion according to data from Defi Llama.

Despite the fact that many tokens remain well below their all-time highs, the TVL for the DeFi sector is only $28 billion below its previous high of $256.62 billion. This suggests that the DeFi ecosystem has continued to expand and attract value as new protocols and blockchain networks have launched over the past few months.

Data from Dune Analytics shows that the total number of DeFi users has steadily increased throughout 2022 and currently sits at a record high of 4,562,318 unique wallet addresses.

NFT marketplaces overtake DEXes

One subsector of the DeFi market that has yet to really see a reversal in its downtrend has been the levels of activity on decentralized exchanges (DEXes), which is currently at its lowest point since July 2021.

While it appears as though traders haven’t been too eager to swap tokens in the current environment, data from Token Terminal shows that they have been active in other areas of the market with the revenue generated by the top apps on the uptrend since bottoming in February.

OpenSea and LooksRare NFT marketplaces have been the top-performing decentralized applications (dApps) by revenue over the past couple of months, followed by Uniswap (UNI), Convex Finance (CVX) and PancakeSwap (CAKE).

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $2.151 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 41.7%.

Farming stories and skills from our small farm, gardening and homesteading journey -

pasture to plate.

This has been a week of extreme conditions on the farm physically as well as one of the most emotionally challenging weeks of farming yet.  The vegetables have had to deal with a freeze of 28F one day and 90+ a few days later... any way you look at that, it's a challenge.  On top of the wild weather we had to navigate piglet castration when the mama wants nothing to do with humans and icing on the cake was a proven sow who has issues while farrowing and needed help delivering 8 more piglets!

While we try and keep it clean it's been exhausting and the description of farrowing a castration topics made us thing the "use caution around small children" label was appropriate for the "more sensitive" listeners.
One resource we mention in this episode is the Perdue livestock "Difficult pig farrowing" guide here -
Anyone who ever said farming was easy should live a week like this then come back and see us :)

Know the Score: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring [Know the Score S2:E2]

Hi, I’m Cynthia Shelhart. You can call me Cindy. And it’s time for some #DoubleTalk. Double-strung harp, that is!

Welcome, or welcome back, to our channel featuring the modern double-strung harp and its music. If you’re new here, make sure you subscribe to my mailing list and YouTube channel, so you can be notified of future episodes (and catch up on the back catalog)!

This series, Know The Score, takes a behind-the-scenes look at arranging for double-strung harp, based on The Technique Triangle™, my signature framework for double-strung harp technique.

Each episode shows how I use The Technique Triangle in different ways, in different arrangements, to help your double-strung harp “sound more like a double.”

About the Tune

Today’s Episode 2 arrangement is an adaptation of Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach, who, in turn, arranged and orchestrated an earlier hymn tune by Johann Schop. Bach’s version appears in his 1723 cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147.

This arrangement comes from my book Double the Weddings, part of The Double Dozen Series (available at You can play this arrangement not only for weddings, but also for recitals, concerts, special events, and worship services.

In this video, I’ll play the arrangement twice through, leaving out the optional repeat of measures 9 through 24.

About the Arrangement

Throughout the arrangement, the left hand accompaniment is varied with single notes as well as chords.

In measure 12, the left hand D major triad stays above middle C, so the stacked thirds of the triad don’t sound muddy (if they go too low).

This arrangement features Overlap Technique—what I like to call the double-strung harp’s “combo platter.” It brings everything together. Both hands can play independent parts, and it also features elements of Echo and Split Techniques. If you need a refresher on Overlap Technique, watch the “Know The Score” overview episode for a review of The Technique Triangle.

In measures 9 through 16, while the right hand plays the chorale theme with chords, the left hand switches to a single-note line that imitates the basso continuo of Bach’s original.

Using Overlap Technique

Overlap Technique isn’t just a convenient way to play the left hand up an octave. It’s also a way to make “less” sound like “more.” This comes from arranging with simpler textures that make room for the double-strung harp’s extra resonance, from its extra strings.

This doesn’t have to be boring—nor is it dumbing it down. It’s an INTENTIONAL way to use musical texture, in a way that works best for the double-strung harp AND for your arrangement.

So this arrangement of Bach’s Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring is just one example of how you can use the “less is more” texture of Overlap Technique to show off the extra resonance, the extra strings of the double-strung harp.

For YOUR next arrangement, try a “less is more” Overlap Technique approach, with some ideas like:

  • Using left hand patterns and chord voicings that use consonant intervals: unisons, fourths, fifths, and octaves.
  • Varying the accompaniment pattern between chord tone patterns and single notes.
  • And shifting between registers for contrast…you don’t need to use Overlap Technique all the time. You can move back and forth [in and out of Overlap] to vary your arrangement.

For more details on double-strung harp arranging with Overlap Technique, along with the other techniques of the Technique Triangle, watch for my upcoming double-strung harp arranging book!

Wrapping Up

Thanks for joining me today for Episode 2 of Know The Score. If you liked what you heard today, please make sure you’re subscribed, so you can be notified of future episodes. And if you want to be the first to get some more Double Talk, head on over to my website,, and sign up for my mailing list.

Next time, in Episode 3, it’s a double feature. We’ll use Split Technique AND Overlap Technique to work some Mendelssohn magic with accidentals. Stay tuned (and subscribe) for more #DoubleStrungExcellence with Know The Score… see you next time!

Bert Kreischer’s Famous ‘The Machine’ Stand-Up Story Is Being Made Into A Movie

(Photo by Donald Bowers/Getty Images for Scripps Networks, LLC)

David Hookstead Sports And Entertainment Editor
Font Size:

Bert Kreischer’s famous “The Machine” story is coming to the big screen.

For those of you who don’t know, Kreischer’s famous story about dabbling with organized crime while in Russia is one of the most well-known stand-up bits in comedy history. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters)

Now it’s turning into a movie!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Star Wars” legend Mark Hamill will also star in the movie, which is appropriately titled “The Machine.”

THR wrote the following details about the upcoming movie:

The film is inspired by the stand-up routine and sees the events of the story catch up with the comedian 20 years later when he and his father (Hamill) get kidnapped by the people Kreischer wronged. The film is described as The Hangover meets Midnight Run and will film in Serbia. Kreischer and Judi Marmel are producing.

Obviously, it’s not the same story that Kreischer experienced and became famous for, but the roots are the same. That should have fans pumped.

Anything involving chaos and the Russian mafia is bound to be great.

Honestly, I’m excited and it’s still crazy to me that a random dude’s entire comedy career blew up thanks to an old story about his brief time in Russia.

Frankly, it’s awesome and I hope the movie is too.

Let’s hope it lives up the hype because I’m pumped!
