At PT these days they tape my incorrectly tracking patella into position. They pull it medially (towards the inside of the knee) because it's pulling laterally and causing me a lot of pain.
This is my fifth(!) week of PT and certain things are much better now, but other things (stairs, crouching, walking for more than a mile or so) still cause me a lot of pain.
Last week the guy taping my knee was pushing the patella around to figure out how much he had to pull it in. The lady at the next table having her shoulder worked on watched with interest. She asked, "are you taping her knee in place?" I explained it to her. She responded by asking the guy taping my knee, "can you do that to me? My kneecap moves around, I don't think it's supposed to do that." Heh. They explained to her that the patella is supposed to move around and her patella was tracking right, so she didn't need to have her knee taped in place.
Sorry for the shitty picture quality, but this morning BK decided she was going to perform an acrobatic routine that involved jumping up onto the back of this (very unstable) office chair and then turning herself around several times. The chair finally started to lean backward, so Ian tried to help her down safely so she didn't fall. She mewed angrily, like he was seriously cramping her style.
This is the same cat who can't walk across the back of the couch or jump from the floor to the bathroom sink (without using the toilet as a stepping stone) because she has such awful balance.
Stresa is an Italian municipality of 4,639 inhabitants in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in Piedmont .
Thanks to its position on the western coast of the Borromean Gulf, opposite the islands of the same name , part of the municipal territory, and to the elegant lakeside hosting luxurious hotels and historic residences, Stresa is a famous lakeside tourist resort and is one of the most visited places in the whole of Piedmont.
The territory of Stresa is divided into four parts: it is partly coastal, partly insular, partly hilly and partly mountainous. The coastal part, overlooking Lake Maggiore , includes the historic centre of Stresa and the hamlet of Carciano; the insular part includes three of the four Borromean Islands ( Madre , Bella , Pescatori ); the hilly part includes a series of hamlets overlooking Lake Maggiore (Levo, Binda, Campino, Passera, Someraro, Vedasco, Brisino and Magognino); the mountainous part includes the popular ski resort of Mottarone , the mountain pastures below the eastern side of the mountain and the Alpinia Botanical Garden
In Roman times , the Via Severiana Augusta passed through Stresa , a Roman consular road that connected Mediolanum (modern Milan ) with Verbannus Lacus (Lake Verbano, or Lake Maggiore ), and from here to the Simplon Pass ( lat. Summo Plano). ).
The first historical source that mentions the existence of Stresa is a parchment from 998 , in which the place is called Strixia , a form confirmed by a source from 1249 ; in 1220 it appears as Strexia . In 1014 the emperor Henry II donated Stresa to the nuns of the monastery of San Felice di Pavia.
In this location, in 1935 , a political and military agreement was established between Italy, France and the United Kingdom , called the Stresa Front . In 1958, the summit of European ministers was held in the city, which laid the foundations of the common agricultural policy (CAP). From 3 to 6 June 2004, Stresa hosted the fifty-second meeting of the Bilderberg Group .
From 1926 to 1946 the name of the municipality was Stresa Borromeo .
In 1927 the former municipalities of Chignolo Verbano, Brisino and in 1928 Magognino became part of the municipality.
On 16 September 1943, four of the 57 victims of the Holocaust of Lake Maggiore (22 September 1943) were rounded up in Stresa. Their names are today remembered in a monument together with the 11 other victims (civilians, soldiers and partisans) of the Nazi concentration camps. Most of the Jews in the area managed to save themselves thanks to the support received from the local population.

How to drill in depth exactly? Take as ling thin drill bit as you have, and align it with plywood layers
Construction on the Integrated Sciences Complex (ISC) continues as more than half of the 320 piles to support the foundation of the new building have been driven into bedrock.
Each pile consists of two sections. The bottom sections are 95 feet long and the top sections vary in length depending upon the required depth to reach into bedrock. Those used recently are 85 feet long. Each pile weighs approximately 47,000 pounds.
Baptisé pour l'instant wing ride, la voile a la particularité d'être légère et transportable.
Les ailes utilisées ont une grande plage d’utilisation, elles sont très nerveuses grâce à la rigidité du boudin et les poignées qui permettent de positionner ses mains comme on le souhaite. Enlever toutes les petites poignées pour en laisser 2 grandes c’était une super idée. Cela rend les ailes plus légères et permettent au rideur de placer ses mains comme il le souhaite. Les poignées sont un peu rigides sur les premiers bords mais dès qu’elles sont un peu mouillées c’est très confortable !
1. Avec quel matos
Pour sauter, les footstraps sont obligatoires. Grâce à eux, c’est aussi plus facile de bien décoller en étant surtoilé avec une wing assez rigide et bien stable. Pour aller vite nous te recommandons un foil léger avec une petite aile avant. Une aile de petite taille est un plus pour ne pas abimer ton matos lors de la réception du saut.
Au niveau de la planche, plus elle est petite et légère, plus elle sera réactive et donc plus ce sera facile de sauter.
Au niveau de la sécurité, n’oublie pas de t’équiper d’un casque et d’un gilet d’impact par-dessus ta combinaison, et bien sur les leashs (un pour ta planche et un pour ton aile).
2. Nos conseils
Première étape : La préparation
Pour sauter nous te conseillons de te lancer sur une session ventée (au moins 20 nœuds), avec un peu de houle ou de clapot qui t’offre un petit peu d’angle.
L’objectif est d’arriver le plus vite possible en sollicitant le foil et la wing à pleine puissance et de repérer un clapot ou une houle pour venir t’appuyer dessus pour déclencher ton impulsion.
Deuxième étape : Le décollage
Pour cette étape, tu dois enfoncer ton foil dans l’eau et en même temps donner un coup de lof et border ta wing en l’amenant au-dessus de ta tête. Le mouvement de virgule ressemble à un pop en kite ou un blocage en wakeboard.
La différence se fait ressentir au niveau du foil, il faut que tu fléchisses tes jambes en enfonçant ton foil dans l’eau et dans l’instant d’après les détendre en poussant dessus, et particulièrement en utilisant la jambe arrière. C’est ton foil qui te permettra de sauter.
Au moment du décollage tu dois orienter ta wing au-dessus de ta tête avec le bras avant tendu pour permettre au vent de s’engouffrer dans ta wing plus facilement. C’est à ce moment-là que la wing prend le relais du foil pour te faire planer.
Troisième étape : Le vol
Une fois que tu as décollé et que tu te retrouves dans les airs, oriente la wing en fonction du vent pour planer le plus longtemps possible. Avec l’impulsion du foil, ta planche va se retrouver pousser en arrière façon railey. Ne lâche pas ta planche et reste bien accroché à ta wing.
Quatrième étape : L’atterrissage
Quand tu te sens vaciller et que tu remarques que tu ne montes plus, c’est le moment de ramener ta planche sous ton corps pour préparer la réception. C’est à ce moment que les abdos sont bien utiles pour amortir la redescente.
Pour la réception, reste bien au-dessus de ta planche sinon tu risques de te blesser. Retend un peu les jambes sans verrouiller tes genoux pour te préparer à amortir en les fléchissant à l’impact de ta planche sur l’eau.
Pour éviter de casser ton matos à l’atterrissage, il faut orienter le nez de la planche légèrement vers le bas, ce qui permettra à ton foil d’entrer dans l’eau sur le même principe qu’un plongeon. S’il arrive à raccrocher comme ça, le foil fera remonter le nez de la planche à la surface et tu pourras reprendre ta navigation.
Il faut éviter d’atterrir sur l’arrière et privilégier l’atterrissage par le bord d’attaque de la front wing. Par cette technique, il te sera plus facile de lui faire regagner de la portance en pompant avec la wing.
Le but étant de progresser à ton rythme nous te conseillons de ne pas forcer sur la virgule lors de tes premiers essais en commençant par utiliser le rebond du foil pour décoller. Quand tu te sentiras plus à l’aise tu pourras essayer en prenant un peu plus de vitesse. Surtout entraine toi progressivement pour ne pas te blesser.
Dynamic Position Systems (DPS), use multiple thrusters controlled by a central computer to maintain the precise position of a ship or floating platform.
Computers monitor wind speed, currents, wave activity, along with the pitch, roll, and yaw of a ship to determine which thrusters will reduce motion of the platform and prevent currents from pushing the ship away. The thrusters are enormous, with up to 6,000 horsepower, and several of these devices are needed to maintain position for a single floating platform.
The Thrustmaster Portable Dynamic Positioning System even has a portable DPS system that can be temporarily added to any ship, barge, yacht, or floating platform.

King's Lynn Emergency Coastal Defence Battery was positioned here to defend the approach to The Wash against enemy waterborne invasion, the 6in Guns were removed in 1942 as it was realised that The Wash was to shallow to allow a target big enough to require 6in Guns coming into range of the Emergency Coastal Battery, so the Guns were removed and sent to a Druridge Bay in Northumberland.
The 1940's Coastal Defence Battery which stretches along the sea bank and is a rare survival in Norfolk, consisting of a Magazine, a building in which a supply of arms, ammunition and provisions for the Coastal Battery were stored, a Left-hand and Right-hand Gun House, an Engine House, a Close Defence Blockhouse, partly camouflaged and buried in earthen bank to the southwest of the Battery, positioned to defend the southern approach road.
The Battery Observation Post, is a tall three story brick built tower is entered by a pointed doorway, the first floor is missing, the top concrete floor for the Lookout is there but is inaccessible, and is thought to be a unique example in Norfolk, the site was known as ''King's Lynn Battery'' which stands on Onger Hill, operated by two officer's and sixty personnel, which saw service between 1940 to 1943.
