Finally a grade 6 ac separation is when the clavicle is displaced under the coracoid process.
A grade 4 ac separation is one where there is significant posterior movement of the clavicle relative to the acromion. If the distance between the two bones is between increased between 25 and 100% it is a grade 3 and if it is more than that it is a grade 5. The injured side must be compared to the non-injured side in order to determine the grade. Update: Amit has put together a list of bloggers who have made book tag posts.A grade 3 ac separation and a grade 5 ac separation are both determined by the amount of vertical movement of the clavicle relative to the coracoid bone. Tag some bloggers, to spread this virus: In alphabetical order by first name, here we go: Jaya, Kiran, Neelakantan, Ramnath, Suhail, Surya I am not able to recall their names! It is this 'three degrees of separation' from them that gives me a haunting feeling. You see, there are these wonderful stories in Tamil, that I read a long time ago, that remain so fresh in my memory, as if I just read them yesterday. Then, there is this very sensitive short story by Aadhavan (that I read while I was a graduate student, from a book a friend of mine borrowed from the UIUC library!), where a guy keeps thinking about his wife who was murdered by a servant, and ultimately realizes that she died a thousand deaths as his wife, starting from their very first night together.
I still remember one of his novels (whose name eludes me right now) in which he is able to bring out the essential character of a cynic - who thinks life has dealt him a bad deal indeed - using this self-talk: 'Boy, why else would this guy be peeing so many bucketfuls?'. I used to be a great fan of 'Sujata', a very versatile and very prolific writer of short stories, novels, essays, plays. Janakiraman's Amma Vandaal are still strongly etched in my memory. Kalki's Ponniyin Selvan (Sunil blogged about Kalki recently) and Thi. Tamil stories: The books that I have the best memories of are the Tamil stories that I read in my teens.A perennial favourite of mine - for gifting, too - is Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, a great book that describes a certain personal ethic that is worth working toward. Both are by academic psychologists, backed by solid research. Pop psychology / Self-help: Martin Seligman's Authentic Happiness : Using the New Positive Psychology to Realize Your Potential for Lasting Fulfillment, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience.Pop science: Richard Dawkins' Selfish Gene.Feynman! and his more mature writing (about the Challenger disaster, his first wife's death) in What do you care what other people think? Of course, I immensely enjoyed Richard Feynman's playful writing in Surely you are joking, Mr. Biography/Memoirs: James Gleick's Genius (biography of Richard Feynman), and Kameshwar Wali's Chandra (bio of S.Recently, I read Mark Haddon's The curious incident of the dog in the night-time, a story told through the innocent voice of a 15-year old autistic boy, that brought back fond memories of Mockingbird, so I went back and read it again! Fiction: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, my all time favourite.As you can see, I am not quite current - and with it! - when it comes to books.īooks that mean a lot to me: This is a tough one. The two books that I read prior to this one were Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything and Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point. Last book I read: How Things Are: A Science Toolkit for the Mind, a collection of short essays by a whole bunch of great people (Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, Freeman Dyson, Daniel Dennett, et al) who can explain great questions of science to non-experts. Why did I buy them? Purely on impulse! I had no idea about these books, nor about the authors, at the time of buying them. Last book I bought: Three popular science books from our Campus Bookstore: Robert Ehrlich's Preposterous Propositions, Alexei Sossinsky's Knots: Mathematics with a Twist, and Roger Newton's Galileo's Pendulum: From the Rhythm of Time to the Making of Matter. Total books I own: I would put the number at around 200. In any event, Yazad has certainly unleashed a serious virus. These are the shortest routes there is also this Amit- Michael-Sunil-Charu route. This is a good time to thank all the great people whom I tagged all their book-tag posts are up on their websites: Jaya, Kiran, Neelakantan, Ramnath, Suhail and Surya.įrom Yazad, that is! So, I get book-tagged once via the Uma- Sunil- Charu route, and a second time, via the Amit- Quizman- Patrix route.
