Orthopaedic surgeon discusses reverse shoulder replacement
As an orthopaedic surgeon, I’ve witnessed significant advancements in shoulder replacement surgeries. One procedure stands out for its efficacy and ability to offer patients rapid pain relief and a quicker path to recovery: reverse shoulder replacement surgery. For those living with chronic shoulder pain due to arthritis or a torn rotator cuff, reverse shoulder replacement is a surgical option that could vastly improve one’s quality of life.
The Daily Chase: Decision day at the Bank of Canada
Here are five things you need to know this morning: BoC expected to cut: The Bank of Canada is set to announce their latest decision on interest rates today, and the betting odds favour a 50-basis point cut. That would bring the benchmark rate to 3.25 per cent and likely put pressure on the loonie, which has been staring in the direction of 70-cents US for a while now based on the apparent divergence between the U.S. and Canadian economies.
The Daily Chase: Decision day at the Bank of Canada
Here are five things you need to know this morning: 50 points on deck at the BOC: The Bank of Canada is widely expected to cut its benchmark lending rate this morning, and with inflation now below target, the only real question is: how much? Consensus is that we’re going to see 50 basis points sliced off the target rate, bringing it to 3.75 per cent.
The Daily Chase: Decision day at the Bank of Canada
Here are five things you need to know this morning: Bank of Canada expected to cut benchmark rate: It’s Bank of Canada day, and after months of inflation numbers trending down, a softening job market and downright icy retail sales data last week, the central bank is expected to lower its benchmark interest rate to 4.5 per cent.

Strategies for Uncertain Times
In 1943, American psychologist Abraham Maslow published his paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in the journal Psychological Review. The paper outlined his now-famous hierarchy of needs that ranked factors influencing human motivation, using a pyramid to visualize how each level builds upon the one before it. The pyramid's foundation is formed by physiological needs, like air, water, food and shelter. Right on top of that base are our safety needs, including our need for personal security.

A tale of two reconciliations: Recent experiences from conducting ‘top-down’ methane measurement
Accurate measurement of methane is the basis upon which real reductions in emissions can be achieved, by focusing resources where they will have greatest impact. Moreover, accurate reporting is critical if these efforts can be confidently demonstrated. ew frameworks for reported measured methane emissions such as those developed by the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP2.0) identify different types of measurement [1].
“We don’t use made up words here”
When I typed up my story, fintech repeatedly autocorrected, which was mildly frustrating. I was then told by my editor that it was not a word that would ever appear in print (“we don’t use made up words here”) and was forced to write out “financial technology” every time I used it. These days, most people know what fintech is, to the extent that it regularly appears in mainstream publications without an explanation (see also: “the micro blogging website Twitter”).
4 Scenarios to Navigate Uncertainty and Create a Winning Strategy for Web3
As virtual and blockchain technologies accelerate our transition to Web3, there is a growing apprehension among many of the business leaders we talk to. But planning for this new iteration of the Internet does not need to be a source of dread. Instead, let's imagine the possible futures we face. There are two key considerations shaping Web3's future: the pace of adoption and the type of governance.
Building sites- the playgrounds of yesteryear
It seemed like builders of the time swilled an inordinate amount of soft drinks. Worksites were always littered with empty bottles, and this was an economic boon for kids who could gather them up and return them to the local milk bar for the 5 cents bottle refund. In those times two empties paid for a Chokito chocolate bar or a Sunnyboy or Glug ice-block. The shop owners weren’t that keen on just handing over the cash without a sale.
Making Sense of the NFT Marketplace
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, have become a major industry. But as with most emerging technologies, there are many competing platforms and approaches to growth, and it’s not always obvious which is the best fit for a given business.
South West businesses boosted by £200m investment fund
Tech firms across the South West received a boost in Rishi Sunak's budget with the announcement of a £200m investment fund to support fast-growing businesses across the region. The Chancellor announced £1.6bn in increases to regional financing programmes, including £200m to "provide a new fund for businesses in the South West of England".
Exclusive: Government considering South West regional investment fund
Plans for a regional investment fund for the South West are being considered by the Treasury and could be announced in the autumn budget on October 27th. The proposed fund would resemble the structure of the £500m Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund (NPIF), although will not initially have anything like that much funding at its disposal, according to sources with knowledge of the plans.
Evolution of the Enterprise and the Age of Platforms
To be successful, an enterprise must adapt to the environment in which it operates. Since external conditions are continuously evolving, the enterprise must find the right strategic fit. The enterprise that comes closest to finding that strategic fit by aligning the core elements that make up the enterprise, such as strategy, organizational structure and talent, greatly increases its chance of becoming a frontier or superstar firm. Those that do not lag behind or, worse, perish.
Peter Evans: How can this be levelling up if the South West is left
Listen to Boris Johnson and you might think yesterday was a great day for the South West. As he set out the government’s priorities at the State Opening of Parliament, the prime minister promised to put “rocket boosters” under plans to level up the UK economy.
Peter Evans: How tech is revolutionising the South West
When a man is tired of London…well, you know the rest. That historical nugget from Samuel Johnson has always annoyed me – in part because it is trotted out by every person who has ever lived inside the M25, but mainly because it is simply untrue. It does not even remotely stand up to scrutiny. At the start of last year, I was dog tired of London. Fifteen years of commutes, £7 pints (seriously) and living in an attic flat that was hotter than the sun between May and October had taken its toll.

Tech Firms Outrent Banks; a Funky Feel
Technology firms are now leasing office space in Europe at a faster pace than financial services companies, according to a new research report, underscoring their importance to the region's property market. But the tendency for technology businesses to cluster in fashionable, but relatively low-rent parts of cities and reject traditional corporate office space is a double-edged sword. Many landlords welcome the increased demand for space, but aren't happy about having to adapt to technology...
Unilever Sets a Companywide Marketing Campaign
LONDON— Unilever UL 0.38% PLC is launching a companywide social-media marketing campaign, a shift away from promoting individual brands in a single country and part of a push by the company to boost its profile among consumers and investors. While Unilever makes familiar brands such as Dove soap, Hellman's mayo, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and Axe deodorant, its corporate identity is less recognizable, a fate suffered by many consumer-goods producers.
Platform Foresight 2022
It is time to begin thinking about the platform landscape in 2022 and beyond. If your company hasn’t kicked off its strategic planning process for 2022, it is time to start. If platforms are not on the list of things to assess, they should be. Platform companies have grown over the past decade to become an increasingly important part of the global economy. The largest platforms have grown to such size and scale they have become likened to infrastructure for the digital economy.
The $1.6 Billion Grocery Flop: Tesco Poised to Quit U.S.
LONDON—Tesco PLC is poised to leave the U.S. after spending five unprofitable years and £1 billion ($1.61 billion) on an ill-timed American gambit that now ranks among the British retailer's biggest-ever failures. Tesco Chief Executive Philip Clarke said Wednesday that the company will likely sell or close its 199 Fresh & Easy stores.
Personal-Care Firms Uncover New Markets
German consumer-goods maker Henkel AG is touting its new Gliss Restore & Refresh shampoo as the world's first hair-care product to address problems caused by the lack of ventilation under a head scarf, including split ends, itchy scalp and unpleasant odor. British-Dutch rival Unilever UL 0.65% PLC is also targeting the market with its Sunsilk shampoo. And hair is just the start.
Nomad in Exclusive Talks to Acquire Parts of Findus
LONDON—Nomad Holdings Ltd. said Wednesday it is in “exclusive early stage discussions” with frozen-food maker Findus Group to buy its continental Europe business and the Findus Brand, but cautioned that there can be no certainty the talks will lead to a deal. Any deal would give Nomad full control of Findus in continental Europe, after the acquisition company completed the purchase earlier this week of Iglo Foods Holdings, which houses Findus in Italy, as well as the Birds Eye frozen-food brands.
Florida Judge Has Moment Of Racist Stupidity, Followed Immediately By Ultimate Clarity
Oh my. It seems even judges are capable of racist bullsh*t. (I mean, that’s obviously true, but still a bit of a slap in the face when it happens.) A local judge in Florida, Palm Beach County Judge Peter Evans, was caught — on the record — referring to a black lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Sheldon Graves, as “the other gorilla defense counsel.” Day-am. That’s… not a good look for a judge, for a professional of any sort, or a human being.

PAL executive: Thunder Courts helping Oklahoma communities, kids
On Tuesday at Don Haskins Park in Enid, the Oklahoma City Thunder joined community leaders in dedicating the 20th Thunder Cares basketball court the team has built or refurbished across the state during its 10 seasons.

Desolvation and aggregation of sterically demanding alkali metal diarylphosphides
The reaction between (Dipp) PH and one equivalent of n-BuLi, PhCH Na or PhCH K in THF gives the complexes [(Dipp) P]Li(THF) (2a), {[(Dipp) P]Na(THF) } (3a) and [(Dipp) P]K(THF) (4a), respectively [Dipp = 2,6-iPr C H ].

The Evolution of Office Notes and the EMR: The CAPS Note
Until the advent of the electronic medical record (EMR), patient charts were filled with handwritten notes documenting visits to the office and read in linear fashion, starting with the patient’s perspective of the problem, then the objective findings of the physical examination, supporting objective data, and finally, the physician’s assessment and treatment plan.
Tesco Chairman to Step Down

Reckitt's Focus on Health Care Starts to Pay Off
LONDON—Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC showed signs Monday that its focus on health-care products is starting to bear fruit as the consumer-goods group said it would report full-year sales growth at the top end of previous forecasts, helped in part by a spike in Durex condom sales in China.

His Nose Is the Most Valuable in the Liquor Business
MENSTRIE, Scotland—In the last 200 years, there have been fewer Johnnie Walker master blenders than British monarchs. With only 14 years on the job, Jim Beveridge has barely passed his probation. But for Diageo PLC, maker of the popular Scotch-whisky brand, Mr. Beveridge is indispensable. He could have the most valuable nose in the liquor business. He uses his sensory talents to create individual blends of Scotch for clients who want much more than an expensive bottle from duty-free.

Characterisation of Signalling by the Endogenous GPER1 (GPR30) Receptor in an Embryonic Mouse Hippocampal Cell Line (mHippoE-18)
Estrogen can modulate neuronal development and signalling by both genomic and non-genomic pathways. Many of its rapid, non-genomic effects on nervous tissue have been suggested to be mediated via the activation of the estrogen sensitive G-protein coupled receptor (GPER1 or GPR30). There has been much controversy over the cellular location, signalling properties and endogenous activators of GPER1.
