Blair Institute: Britain can’t fix its finances without pension reform
Our recommendations included replacing the current system with a new model called “LifeSpan”, alongside the abolition of the retirement age, the scrapping of the triple lock, and a redesign of Pension Credit. This provoked a range of reactions, not least in an interview I did the same day, where a presenter exclaimed that I was “grasping the third rail” in British politics. They were right.

Catastrophic Early Failure and Fragmentation of a Modern Moderately Cross-linked Polyethylene Acetabular Liner
Abstract A 60-year-old man who underwent uncomplicated staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty for femoral head osteonecrosis presented with mechanical catching of his left total hip arthroplasty 3 years after index surgery. Radiographs revealed eccentricity of the left femoral head, concerning the failure of a modern moderately cross-linked polyethylene liner. Catastrophic polyethylene liner failure with significant wear, fragmentation, and femoral head abrasion was noted during revision surgery.

'Reclaiming' lost loyalty for high-street brands via the Metaverse - 365 RETAIL
Advertisement Mark Zuckerberg has tongues wagging with big claims about his “Metaverse”, and while he’s since shed very little light so far on what this will entail, or how far it’s progressed, we know the aim is to create a ‘phygital’ world where people can work, play and hangout, accessed by virtual and augmented reality tools. For the physical retail world, the thought of all this taking place within the Metaverse could seem like a real threat.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Who Have Respiratory Disease Who use Supplemental Home Oxygen
Background The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between supplemental home oxygen prior to surgery and both medical and surgical complications after primary elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients who have respiratory disease (RD). Methods The Mariner database was used to identify patients who have RD who received primary elective THA from 2010 to 2020.
Use of Supplemental Home Oxygen is Associated With Early Postoperative Complications Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Background The objective of this study is to evaluate preoperative supplemental home oxygen use as a potential risk factor for both medical and surgical complications following primary elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients who have respiratory disease (RD). Methods Patients with a diagnosis of RD who underwent elective TKA from 2010 to 2020 were identified using a national database.
Elon Musk's Twitter-Takeover: altering community management
“Free speech absolutist” and Twitter shareholder, Elon Musk, is on the verge of acquiring the social media behemoth. Already, he seems set to make several changes to what some might describe as the original digital community (not forgetting Reddit). For both B2C and B2B businesses, digital communities play a vital role in generating consumer loyalty and satisfaction. So, what, if anything, could community managers learn from the takeover?
The Timing of Preoperative Urinary Tract Infection Influences the Risk of Prosthetic Joint Infection Following Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
The importance of preoperative urinary tract infection (UTI) in total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) is controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the timing of preoperative UTI diagnosis and association with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and determine if antibiotics impact this risk. A national database was used to analyze patients undergoing THA and TKA diagnosed with a preoperative UTI. Timing of diagnosis was categorized by 1-week intervals prior to surgery.
Survey: Residents may benefit from more training in cemented femoral hip stem placement

Inhospital Complications and Costs of Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: The Case for Selection and Potential Cost Savings
Published comparisons between bilateral and unilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) remain biased, as most patients undergoing bilateral TKA are prescreened and healthier than average patients having unilateral procedures. Our objectives were to compare postoperative complications and resource utilization of patients having simultaneous bilateral TKAs with similar patients having unilateral procedures.
How BT’s technology can help to build better connected cities
By James Browne, Head of Street at BT Coverage of the recent COP26 climate summit in Glasgow brought concerns around climate change to the forefront of many peoples’ minds, with the event being an opportunity for global leaders to meet and discuss ways to tackle climate change. While it didn’t give us all the answers, it is clear we need to work together to take collective action. This applies to us as individuals, as well as the pressing responsibility that businesses have, both large and small.

Anywhere jobs and the future of work
Jeegar Kakkad, Christina Palmou, David Britto, James Browne 10 July 2021 The Covid pandemic has helped to loosen the binds that previously tied a job to a specific geography and created a new class of work in the UK. ‘Anywhere jobs’ are non-routine service sector jobs that can be done from anywhere in the world, potentially for cheaper.
Krüppel-Like Factor 5 regulates wound repair and the innate immune response in human airway epithelial cells.
Abstract A complex network of transcription factors regulates genes involved in establishing and maintaining key biological properties of the human airway epithelium. However, detailed knowledge of the contributing factors is incomplete. Here we characterize the role of Krüppel-Like Factor 5 (KLF5), in controlling essential pathways of epithelial cell identity and function in the human lung.

The Agrarian Standard
The Unsettling of America was published twenty-five years ago; it is still in print and is still being read. As its author, I am tempted to be glad of this, and yet, if I believe what I said in that book, and I still do, then I should be anything but glad. The book would have had a far happier fate if it could have been disproved or made obsolete years ago.

Synthetic mesh extensor mechanism reconstruction after TKA can yield good functional outcomes
James A. Browne, MD, discussed treatment options for extensor mechanism disruption following total knee arthroplasty and factors that may lead to failure. He said the mainstays of extensor mechanism reconstruction include whole extensor allograft, Achilles allograft and synthetic mesh, all of which can be successful, but have an expected failure rate given the difficulty of this problem. “The synthetic mesh procedure is my procedure of choice,” Browne said at a meeting.
Legal Insight: The Perils Of Electing S Corporation Status
Wednesday, March 27, 2019 Some advisers recommend electing S corporation tax status for a limited liability company (LLC)1 or partnership, or recommend simply organizing a closely held business as a corporation that elects to be taxed as an S corporation. These advisers generally cite the self-employment tax savings that can be achieved as an S corporation relative to an LLC classified as a partnership.
AAHKS releases position statement on the use of biologics to treat advanced OA
The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons released a position statement that it does not recommend to routine clinical use of biologics, including stem cells and platelet-rich plasma injections, for the treatment of advanced hip or knee arthritis.
Choice of Entity for a Startup Business after Tax Cuts And Jobs Act
When an entrepreneur makes the decision to form a legal entity for a new business, the choice of legal entity generally comes down to a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation.1 Prior to the 2017 tax reform act, an LLC generally had significant tax advantages over a corporation. Nevertheless, many startups organized as corporations for reasons of simplicity and perceived financing advantages.
Mechanics of Replacing Benefit Systems with a Basic Income: Comparative Results from a Microsimulation Approach
Recent debates of basic income (BI) proposals shine a useful spotlight on the challenges that traditional forms of income support are increasingly facing, and highlight gaps in social provisions that largely depend on income or employment status. A universal "no questions asked" public transfer would be simple and have the advantage that no-one would be left without support.
How do the rich respond to higher income tax rates?
The 2017 election saw Labour propose a 45% rate of income tax on incomes above £80,000, and a 50% rate on incomes above around £125,000, with the aim of raising around £4.5 billion per year in revenues. Analysis by IFS researchers at the time concluded that Labour’s revenue estimate was probably little on the high side, but was not implausible.
Estimating the responsiveness of top incomes to tax: a summary of three new papers
In 2010, an ‘additional’ 50% rate of income tax applying to incomes above £150,000 was introduced. Following HMRC analysis of the responses of high-income individuals to this new tax rate in the first year of its operation, the Chancellor announced in Budget 2012 that the tax rate would be reduced to 45% from April 2013.
Should Your Business Have a Small Captive Insurance Company?
For a profitable business, a captive insurance company arrangement can be an effective and flexible business risk management tool that also provides potentially significant tax and asset protection benefits. This article provides an overview of the benefits of a small casualty insurance company arrangement for a closely held business.
Prepping the knee in maximal flexion: getting into every nook, cranny, and fold
Surgical technique After induction of anesthesia, the patient is positioned supine on the operating table and a nonsterile tourniquet is placed on the thigh. A nonsterile U-shaped drape is placed over the tourniquet. A leg holder or post is placed at the surgeon's discretion. The technique involves 2 rounds of skin preparation. The first prep is facilitated by having a nonsterile hand stabilize the leg in maximal flexion while the anterior knee, thigh, and lower leg are scrubbed (Fig.
Comparison of wastewater-associated contaminants in the bed sediment of Hempstead Bay, New York, before and after Hurricane Sandy
Changes in bed sediment chemistry of Hempstead Bay (HB) have been evaluated in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which resulted in the release of billions of liters of poorly-treated sewage into tributaries and channels throughout the bay. Surficial grab samples (top 5 cm) collected before and (or) after Hurricane Sandy from sixteen sites in HB were analyzed for 74 wastewater tracers and steroid hormones, and total organic carbon.
The EU Budget: a guide -
In a new report and accompanying interactive online tool out today IFS researchers provide an explanation of how the EU budget works, its size, where revenues come from and what the main areas of spending are. They also provide an estimate of the UK’s net contributions to the EU. The overall net contribution will be a little over £8 billion a year going forward, though it fluctuates from year to year and was £7.5 billion in 2012, £9.1 billion in 2013 and £5.7 billion in 2014.
Incomes of the poor being boosted by strong employment growth, but will be hit by benefit cuts
Strong employment growth has reduced the number of people living in households with incomes below a fixed poverty line over the last two years, but planned cuts to benefits and tax credits will mean no growth in the incomes of poorer households on average over the next five years. These are among the main findings from a new IFS Report funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, published today, that examines the prospects for incomes and poverty until 2020.
Living standards, poverty and inequality in the UK: 2015-16 to 2020-21
Official data on the distribution of household incomes in the UK are available only with a significant lag: the latest statistics are for 2013–14. In this report, we use modelling techniques to provide a more up-to-date picture and to assess how things are likely to evolve in the coming years.
The (changing) effects of universal credit
Over the course of this parliament, the government is rolling out the most radical reform to the working-age benefits system for decades. A single means-tested payment, known as universal credit (UC), is being introduced as a replacement for six existing means-tested benefits and tax credits for those of working age: income support, income-based jobseeker’s allowance, income-based employment and support allowance, child tax credit, working tax credit and housing benefit.
July Budget measures will strengthen work incentives overall despite tax credit cuts
In advance of next week’s Autumn Statement, when the Chancellor is expected to announce amendments to his planned cuts to tax credits, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has today published a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the government’s current tax and benefit plans and the National Living Wage on household incomes and financial work incentives. Our report focuses on the effects on work incentives of changes proposed in the July Budget.
The silo effect: why putting everything in its place isn't such a bright idea
Ever since civilised society began, we have felt the need to classify, categorise and specialise. It can make things more efficient, and help give the leaders of any organisation a sense of confidence that they have the right people focusing on the right tasks. But it can also be catastrophic, leading to unnecessary internal competition and a resistance to sharing new ideas.

Taxes and benefits: the parties’ plans
|
The last five years have seen considerable policy activity in the tax and benefit sphere: in total, some £56 billion per year of giveaways and £89 billion per year of takeaways by 2015–16. Most of the main tax reforms have simply changed rates or thresholds within current structures – the increase in the main rate of VAT, cuts to the main corporation tax rate, real cuts to the rates of fuel duties and the big increase in the income tax personal allowance being the most important.

Novel fixation method of a periprosthetic fracture of the acetabulum using burr holes through the retained cup for locking screw fixation
Abstract The incidence of periprosthetic fractures of the acetabulum associated with a total hip arthroplasty is relatively low but may be increasing. Treatment options depend upon the stability of the prosthesis. In this case, we report an unusual fracture pattern where a large portion of posterior column remained osseointegrated to a displaced uncemented acetabular component and removal of the cup would have resulted in massive structural bone loss and potential pelvic discontinuity.

Household incomes set to start growing again, but slowly and unequally
In work funded by the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister in Northern Ireland, the IFS today published an update of our previous income projections for Northern Ireland and for the UK as a whole. This observation draws out what this research tells us about the likely path of household incomes in the UK in the next few years. Throughout this observation, we focus on changes in incomes relative to inflation as measured by the CPI.
The £10 billion question: where could the Chancellor find welfare cuts?
In his speech to the Conservative party conference today, the Chancellor of the Exchequer again stated an intention to reduce welfare expenditure by a further £10 billion per year by 2016–17. Given the £18 billion per year of welfare cuts already planned by 2014–15, total welfare spending in that year is currently forecast to be £214 billion. Of that, £94 billion will be spent on state pensions and Pension Credit.
