Stumbled across this shot a couple weeks ago. For whatever reason I'd never posted it.
While I'm enjoying our winter, and due to recently acquiring proper foot orthotics, I'm actually able to get out shooting again, seeing this made me feel good.
Happy Bench Monday!
My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown, also known simply as My Left Foot, is a 1989 Irish biographical comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Jim Sheridan and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Brenda Fricker, Ray McAnally, Hugh O'Conor and Fiona Shaw. It tells the story of Christy Brown (Day-Lewis), an Irishman born with cerebral palsy, who could control only his left foot. Brown grew up in a poor working-class family, and became a writer and artist.
My Left Foot received very positive reviews. Critic Roger Ebert gave the film four stars out of four and stated, "My Left Foot is a great film for many reasons, but the most important is that it gives us such a complete picture of this man's life. It is not an inspirational movie, although it inspires. It is not a sympathetic movie, although it inspires sympathy. It is the story of a stubborn, difficult, blessed and gifted man who was dealt a bad hand, who played it brilliantly, and who left us some good books, some good paintings and the example of his courage. It must not have been easy".

Montgomery Zoo giraffe Jenna debuts new brace, collaboration made with Alabama State University
MONTGOMERY ZOO (Montgomery, AL): The Montgomery Zoo is excited to announce that Jenna the giraffe has a new shoe!
Many of our visitors are familiar with Jenna’s story. Jenna is a 17-year-old reticulated giraffe born here at the Montgomery Zoo. She experienced a traumatic injury 12 years ago that left her with a permanent musculoskeletal abnormality in her left rear leg. Her care team at the time of the injury managed her very well throughout the ordeal. They even developed a brace for her to wear, adding support to her leg. Over the years, the brace did require upkeep- not surprising for a piece of equipment worn daily by a 1,200-pound animal! No design changes were made to the brace during this ten year timespan, however. So when the brace was next in need of repair, we began to wonder if it was time to make adjustments to the design. After all, a lot of scientific advancements are made in a decade! Perhaps there were new ideas or materials out there that would improve upon Jenna’s original brace?
The question was posed, “What adjustments could be made to improve upon the original design ten years later?” After all, a lot of scientific knowledge can be gained in ten years! It is imperative that as time goes on, we update our current medical and husbandry practices to meet the present day’s science.
And so began the partnership between the Montgomery Zoo and Alabama State University’s College of Health Sciences Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics in the summer of 2020. That’s right, it has taken two years to design, build, and apply this new brace to Jenna’s leg. The process took longer than expected because Zoo care staff wished to train Jenna to voluntarily participate in her medical care. With time and a lot of patience, Jenna now voluntarily goes into a chute and allows her care staff to take off and put on the brace as needed. Jenna trusts her care staff, and her training will ensure ongoing participation in the process.
ASU Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics students were at the forefront of the new design and development, with Zoo veterinary and care staff providing insight and suggestions for the new brace. The first step of the process required acquiring a model of Jenna’s leg. The ASU team had a brilliant idea- to use a 3D scanner to generate a digital model of her leg that could then be made into a physical replica for brace fitting/sizing. The 3D scanner was the way to go because we did not have to create a traditional mold by wrapping Jenna’s leg. The following steps of the process included brace design, brace fabrication, and many fittings and adjustments on Jenna’s leg.
A sincere thank you to all Zoo staff involved in this journey, and a special thank you to Alabama State University’s College of Health Sciences Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics team for all they’ve done to help our beloved Jenna. This process has been long and has required a lot of patience from both teams, and even the patient. The result was worth it. Jenna is loving her new brace.
She is noticeably quicker and more stable when wearing her brace. She allows her care staff to remove it and put it back on whenever necessary while she’s in our giraffe chute. She sleeps with it on, too.

This is the 8th pair of Shoes and Shandals I have made for my client. These are her second pair of Walking Shoes a size bigger than her normal shoes and with a deeper toe box for her extra thick socks and orthotics. The first pair of Walking Shoes that I made her was in 19/11/06 and still going strong, These are for her 70th birthday, bought by her husband as a present.To have a pair hand made in Japan go to www.marikok.com
Today, Janice had a DEXA scan (for bone density), a mammogram, and an MRI on her ankle. As a reward for being a good patient, I took her to a chocolate shop and I barbecued hamburgers for dinner. She's still smiling.
For Flickr Friday #Support I thought I'd do something different. I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and wear leg braces. The leg braces provide support to help me walk. Pictured is one of my braces with the knee joint in the bent position. #FlickrFriday

I suffered a career-altering injury in my right foot ten years ago. For the past year and a half I have been navigating severe plantar fasciitis in my left, which has opened up new flexibility and strength in my right foot. Here, my left foot sits in my custom orthotics, which I am tied to indefinitely, and my right foot explores. You can see the scar from an ill advised surgery a decade ago.

This is me as I test out my new prosthetic leg. I had outgrown my most recent one through a little meds-induced weight gain. I used a design by the rock band Drivin' N Cryin' (with their approval) on it. Their music helped me through a six month stay at the hospital being treated for sepsis when my leg was amputated to save my life. I feel like I owe a lot to them

We all care about what we look like. How would you feel about yourself if you had a limb amputated?
Some amputees have concerns about body image that lead to anxiety and depression. The University of Strathclyde and Blatchford are developing covers for artificial limbs that are lifelike, lightweight and low cost. These will help amputees adjust their body image to feel positive about how they look, and therefore ready to take on the world!

Busy master control room at the former WSBT Broadcast Center in South Bend...
This master control room began operations in 1954, and was retired late 2008. The facility is currently being renovated for their new tenant, WNIT Television (PBS).
Playing on 22.1 is a 'Walk Fit Orthotics' infomerical
Playing on 22.2 is the second tape of 'Silence of the Lambs'
If you view the full size image and look at the clock, you can see the second hand motion - this was a 2 second exposure, if I recall. That's why all of the monitors are over-exposed
Unique trivia concerning this WSBT broadcast center, and this room in specific... This facility was designed by the same architects as CBS Studio City in Burbank, CA.
If you've ever seen 'Good Night and Good Luck', this control room and studio configuration is, or at least when built in 1954, was nearly identical to the one in the movie. The racks of equipment on the left are in front of the 40' long set of windows looking down in to the studio from this control room, currently Master Control, but it built as the studio control room.
Not seen in the photo are the rest of the equipment racks in the room behind the camera - the 'rack room'. At a rough guess I'd say 50+ racks filled with routers, switchers, frame syncs, distribution amps, not to mention the satellite equipment, audio routers, studio transmitter links and such for 4 radio stations. And there's the telecine room in the basement, with the DirecTV uplink and the 120KVA UPS, and the ProFile video servers....
Carte de visite by an anonymous photographer. Perhaps one of the most recognizable faces to students of the Civil War is not a famous general, but a sergeant. Alfred A. Stratton's (1845-1874) story is well-known and often told. This version, by correspondent Berry Craig for Orthotics and Prosthetics News, provides a solid overview of the man, husband and soldier:
Civil War Amputee Ended Up a Minister, Husband and Father
Though he lived only to age 29, Alfred A. Stratton led a full life.
Stratton was a 19-year-old private in Company G of the 147th New York Infantry, when “both arms [were] carried away by a solid cannon shot from the defences in front of Petersburg [Va.] on June 18, 1864,” according to an old document in the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington, D.C.
The facility was founded during the Civil War as the Army Medical Museum. Stratton, according to the old document, “called at the… [museum], in good health, on Dec. 24, 1869, to have his photograph taken.”
The photos were used for medical purposes. They also were displayed at the museum and exhibited in other cities.
In addition, amputees such as Stratton had their photos reprinted as carte-de-visites – mass-produced photo cards – and sold the pictures to help raise money to support themselves. Perhaps no image was more heart-rending than Stratton’s.
There are reportedly at least seven photos of him. In one he is stripped to the waist, clearly showing his residual limbs. Both arms were missing from just below the shoulders.
Other records in the National Museum of Health and Medicine show that Stratton joined the 147th New York Infantry in August 1863, after the regiment helped the Union army win the battle of Gettysburg. Stratton had been a blacksmith in Jamestown, N.Y.
In June, 1864, Union forces under Gen. Ulysses S. Grant besieged Gen. Robert E. Lee’s army at Petersburg, near Richmond, the Confederate capital. Fighting was fierce.
Lee knew if Grant won at Petersburg, Richmond could not be defended. But not until April 1865, was Grant able to capture Richmond and Petersburg and force Lee to surrender at Appomattox, Va., effectively ending the Civil War. By then, Stratton was a civilian again, “pensioned at twenty-five dollars per month and supplied with artificial limbs of Grinnell’s make,” the old document says.
“The projectile struck both limbs about the elbow, tearing off the forearms, and greatly lacerating the soft parts above the elbow,” the document says. “Cordials [liqueurs] were given, and immediate amputation of both arms was performed by surgeon A.S. Coe, 147th New York Volunteers.”
Afterwards, Stratton was transferred to City Point (now Hopewell), Va., the main supply base for Grant’s campaign against Petersburg and Richmond.
“On June 28, he was sent to the Second Division Alexandria [Va.] Hospital, both wounds progressing very favorably,” according to the document. “The stumps rapidly cicatrized [formed scars], and on Oct. 3, 1864, he was discharged from the service.”
Stratton also was photographed in New York, where he married in 1865 and became the father of a son and a daughter. He was pastor of Washington Street Episcopal Church in Brooklyn before being named rector of the Epiphany Episcopal Church in Washington. He died in 1874.
