A Knee Recovery Nightmare! Right Total Knee Replacement My Physical and Emotional Fight Against Pain Hypersensitivity and Protective Muscle Guarding – written by Cathy Banovac – interview by Lisa Pelley and Mary Elliott – Cathy was coached by Erin Rempher, PTA My name is Cathy and I reside in Arizona. I am 57 years old, a homemaker, and have had a genetic history of chronic osteoarthritis.  From a very young age, I have always had a very low pain threshold.  Prior to the commencement of pain in my knee, I considered myself a fairly fit and active person…loved gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, crafting, playing golf, traveling with my husband, walking our dogs, and playing with our grandchildren. Life was good! Early Summer In addition to the normal aches and pains that come with aging, I began to experience more than usual pain in my right knee.  I was experiencing daily occurrences of popping/clicking, giving out when walking at times, difficulty negotiating steps or stairs, and nightly interrupted sleep due to pain.  Over the counter medications, icing, heat, etc. was no longer managing my symptoms.  Upon visiting an orthopedic surgeon for examination and subsequent imaging, I learned I was over 70% bone on bone in my right knee joint.  I was told I was looking at a total knee replacement.  I was preparing to head to Michigan for a family vacation on the lake with my kiddos in August, so was not happy to hear this news.  I convinced my doctor to give me a steroid injection just to buy me the time I needed to take my vacation.  He was reluctant and told me that he predicted it would do nothing to help my condition at the very least or, at the very most, last for a brief time.  I made it through the trip, yet 3 weeks post-injection the symptoms had returned. No More Injections My surgeon declined my request for another injection, instead reiterating my need for the TKR.  Over previous years, I had witnessed my mother, father, husband and a few friends have knee replacement surgeries.  All came through their surgeries with what appeared to me to be a fairly pain controlled, timely recovery and successful return to their regular daily activities.  I was told I was on the younger side for this type of procedure, nevertheless, would greatly benefit from extended quality of life and return to desired activity, given my current quality of life and daily activity was becoming more diminished by the day. My Knee Replacement I underwent RTKR on September 25.  All went well and as expected with the surgery.  I was up and walking, began some light physical therapy exercises, and maintained post-op range and motion through use of a CPM while in hospital.  I was discharged to home on the third day post-op, with a couple of narcotic pain medications (initially Percocet/Oxycodone and Morphine) and directions to commence in-home physical therapy the following day.  My follow-up visit with the surgeon was scheduled for 6 weeks post-op.  Day one at home began my challenging journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally.  I experienced difficulty managing my pain even with narcotics and over the counter medications.  My swelling was as expected and able to be kept in check with anti-inflammatory meds and icing.  I experienced annoying side effects from the narcotics, i.e., headaches, nausea, constipation, and thus was bounced from one medication and dosage to another, none of which seemed to be the right combination or solution to my pain.  Out of complete desperation and in uncontrollable pain, I went to the emergency room after being home for four days post-op, hoping to get some relief. A Problem with the Surgery? I thought surely there must be something wrong.  A few hours later, together with a lecture from the hospital PT and some morphine, I was discharged back to home.  Back on more medication, I failed to again find relief from pain.  I was averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night and little sleep during the day.  My home physical therapist had her work cut out for her.  Over the next 4 weeks (twelve 45 min. sessions of in-home PT), I had yet to reach better than 85 degrees flexion and 10 degrees extension.  My in-home therapist said she spent most of those 4 weeks strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles, all which were extremely weak.  Therefore, already I was approximately 4 weeks behind in range and motion advancement.  My pain was still very much out of control, all while I feared becoming more and more dependent on the narcotics prescribed. At the first follow-up appointment (six weeks post-op), my flexion was below 90 degrees and extension still not at the zero degree mark.  I was informed by my surgeon that I needed a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA).  My knee felt very stiff, pain was still unmanageable, and I was stuck without advancement in physical therapy. Manipulation Under Anesthesia He took x-rays and made sure the appliance was not loose or slipping out of placement.  All was found to be in proper order and an examination found no infection that could be causing pain or other symptoms.  My surgeon had done his job.  I was told however, that he believed I was stuck due to scar tissue build-up and thus was in need of the MUA to break up the scar tissue.  This would also permit the ability to continue physical therapy, working towards achievement of the desirable degree of range and motion outcomes.  I underwent the MUA six weeks and one day post-op and immediately resumed PT the following day.  I was told not to worry about a reduction in my flexion and extension after having the MUA.  An MUA tends to put patients back about 3-4 weeks, so it is almost like starting all over again.  However, the idea is that advancement in range and motion should become easier now that the scar tissue has been broken up by the procedure.  I went to PT for 5 days in a row the first week following the MUA, did my home exercises faithfully on my own twice a day, then returned to PT three times a week for the next several weeks. After the MUA At the two week follow-up appointment post the MUA, I was still in unmanageable pain, still getting only 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, and running every gamut of emotion and temperament.  My poor husband was beside himself and wondering whatever became of the woman he married 27 years ago.  My flexion was still only reaching in the low 90's and my extension was no better either.  I was still experiencing great sensitivity to the touch anywhere on or around my surgical knee.  I couldn't stand wearing pants or having any sheet or blanket covering my knee.  My pain was the worst at night, just when I was settling in for some restful moments on the couch watching TV with my husband.  I would suddenly be lifted off my seat with either pain that mimicked touching a lit match to my knee, or the stabbing of a knife, or the shock of a taser. Dealing with the Pain This pain varied and sometimes was relentless for several minutes.  I was in tears most evenings and headed to bed to ice or apply heat, which calmed the nerve pain somewhat.  I would take meds (Hydrocodone/Norco, Extra-Strength Tylenol, Ibuprofen,  Zofran (for nausea) Vitamins, a stool softener (due to Hydrocodone) and Gabapentin aka Neurontin.  I was soooo sick of taking medications.  I think my surgeon was beside himself as to how to control my pain and sensitivity, therefore, he recommended I seek help at a Pain Management Clinic for possible sympathetic blocks, as well as my medicinal pain management.  Both he and my physical therapist told me I was forecasting pain neurologically before any exerted physical effort on their part was made to cause any pain.  My intolerance for any amount of pain was prohibiting any measurable progress in my range and motion, thus scar tissue was building at a rapid pace.  Physical therapy continued to be a challenge as I protective muscle guarded any force applied by my therapist to get better R&M.  I cried through most of my sessions. Pain Management At my first appointment with the Pain Management Clinic, I met with the doctor.  Most people have sympathetic blocks in their back to relieve nerve pain, but the doctor I was referred to chose to recommend a Genicular Neurotomy, accomplished through a procedure called Coolief Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation.  I first underwent a test which involved Lidocaine injections in four areas surrounding my new knee.  The patient then logs their pain and activities over the following 72 hours.  A follow-up appointment with a Nurse Practitioner then reviews the log and determines eligibility for the ablation procedure.  At this appointment she chose to cut my medication cold-turkey for a couple of days as she deemed I was dependent on them, even though I was getting little pain control.  I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms for two days. A Change in Medication I thought I was going to go out of my mind.  A change in my medication increased the Gabapentin I was taking, and I was found to be eligible for the ablation.  I underwent that procedure approximately 6 weeks post my first MUA, just before the Thanksgiving holiday.  I was told that I would still be experiencing pain for approximately 4-6 weeks, due to the fact that the ablation was going to make my nerves “angry” as they fought their temporary death.  I was also informed that this procedure is temporary as nerve endings most often regenerate themselves over a 6 month to 2 year period.  Some patients must undergo two or three of these procedures to get lasting relief. Unhappy News This was not happy news to my ears, yet I was still desperate for relief and reaching out for anything, and I mean anything, that would control my pain.  I returned to the pain clinic for a follow-up to the ablation procedure only to report pain still very bad and that I was still taking a boatload of medication, icing, heat to quad muscles to relieve cramping, and poor results in physical therapy sessions.  I was told to give it more time and come back in a few more weeks.   At my next follow-up approximately 3 weeks later, I discharged myself from the Pain Management Clinic.  I felt that their treatment plan was not successful for me and they had no other plan to offer other than continued reliance on prescription medication and time. When recovery goes wrong – Read More A Desparate Time After barely getting through the Christmas holidays, persisting in physical therapy and weaning myself down on prescription medications (since they didn't seem to be having any great effect on my pain), I began to explore the possibility of medical marijuana as a solution to my pain control.  I have never tried marijuana and had little desire to smoke or vape it, but was interested in edibles they have out now.  I was desperate and finding myself sinking into anxiety, panic attacks and, at times, depression.  My family and my husband were becoming very concerned as I was changing into a person they did not know and they were at a loss as how to help me through my circumstances. Medical Marijuana Since medical marijuana is legal in the State of Arizona, I sought out a doctor with whom I met and applied for a patient card.  This process took approximately 3 weeks, including approval of my application through the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services.  Upon receiving my card, I met with a licensed nurse at a dispensary to become educated about the various products and my specific needs.  She was recommended by the doctor who signed off on my patient eligibility and works with a number of cancer patients to help control their symptoms.  We met for over an hour.  She was extremely patient with me, educating me about cannabis (which I knew little of) and gave me recommendations to try.  I purchased three of her recommendations.  I also decided to try getting a light massage once per week.  The massages lasted for approximately three weeks before I decided to suspend them, as I found them not helpful enough to warrant the expense. Little if Any Improvement Having done everything I was asked to do in my recovery and still making little if any gains, I found myself in a very dark place emotionally, desperate to end my pain, and I was done!!  One day, I was occupying my time, in between home therapy and out-patient therapy sessions, searching the Internet for anything that might literally save me.  When in answer to my prayer, I came across several website postings about a therapy called X10.  I shared some of it with my husband, my parents and my kids.  They encouraged me to explore it more.  After reading some of the patient blogs and watching a few of the videos that I could access, I made my first contact with PJ Ewing by emailing him.  PJ responded very quickly telling me that the X10 Therapy and machine was not yet available in the State of Arizona, but he provided me with some other resources.  I was initially devastated by this news, but I almost immediately decided that I was not going to accept that response.  I instantly thought to myself, “Well, if it is not available in AZ, then maybe I can travel to wherever it is available. Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer This time, I placed a phone call to PJ and we talked for over an hour.  As it so happened, in our conversation I discovered that the X10 headquarters is in Franklin, MI, and I had family who lived in Rochester, MI.  PJ was more than gracious in discussing all the parameters and specifics of the possibility of travel to Michigan to undergo the X10 program.  To say the least, after completion of my discussion with PJ, I heard God say “Not yet, Cathy, I still have a plan for you on this earth.”  I discussed the possibilities with my husband and shared them also with my son and daughter-in-law, exploring their permission to have me as a houseguest for 2-3 weeks.  Of course, they couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming. Pain Still a Big Problem My pain was still out of control, I continued out patient PT three times a week with slow or little advancement in my R&M, had my six week MUA follow-up with my surgeon only to be told I was facing a second MUA.  I told my surgeon and my physical therapist about the X10 Therapy website I had discovered, and PJ sent me the clinical data to share with them.  Each of them, I am grateful to say, told me they had looked at the data and were “intrigued” by the therapy plan.  Both encouraged me to pursue it as an option for me, yet both also strongly indicated that enough time had passed between my first MUA and the ablation, therefore, still recommended I have the second MUA before commencing X10 Therapy. Turning to X10 Therapy after a Second MUA Once my husband and I had made the decision to pursue this plan, the wheels began to roll quickly.  Initially, I scheduled the 2nd MUA and a flight out from Phoenix to Detroit by myself the next day following the MUA.  I notified PJ of my  plans and he began to put things in motion by placing me in contact with Mary Elliott, Melissa, Mike, a therapy Coach, Erin a Physical Therapist, and Marty, a technician for machine home delivery and set-up.  The X10 Therapy approach is really a “team” approach to wellness, in addition to the machine itself and the technological programs it delivers to the patient. The Second MUA Was Coming Up As the days approached the 2nd MUA, I became extremely anxious and experienced a couple of panic attacks.  I began to stress about the MUA pain, having gone through one already.  The thought of flying alone, even though my son would be there to meet me at the other end of my flight, and having to get through a 4 hour flight plus 1 hour car ride to his home in pain, had me scared beyond belief.  I was consumed with thinking about how I would manage my pain.  Should I just knock myself out to sleep on the plane?  What if that didn't work?  What meds could I then take if in pain?  What about my leg position – straightening and bending?  How would I get help from curb, through security, to gate, onto plane and the same again when arriving including a stop at baggage claim?  How am I going to sleep at night?  Is this therapy going to put me back in unmanageable pain again, even though the X10 Therapy information says I am in control?  What if it doesn't work?  Can this end my knee recovery nightmare? And on and on and on…! Making Plans After talking it over with my husband and doctor, it was decided that I would delay my trip to Michigan for one week following the 2nd MUA.  I would continue outpatient PT immediately following the MUA, but have some time to consult with a psychologist concerning my sleep depravation, fears, anxiety/depression and develop a plan to manage my pain, as well as talk to the airline for special assistance to help solve my transportation needs.  My husband decided to make the trip with me for a couple of days, just to get me settled and started with X10 Therapy.  Armed with a revised medication and travel plan, I notified the X10 Team of my change in start date and all were extremely understanding and accommodating.  I had the 2nd MUA  on January 18.  I continued outpatient PT for three more sessions, in addition to my own home exercises twice per day.  My daily sleep and pain control was managed better and I was counting the days until our departure date.  It simply could not arrive fast enough! Friday, January 19 This will remain a very important and pivotable day in my life.  My journey towards healing, life anew and well-being would begin that very day.  Having endured a comfortable flight and having managed all the transportation arrangements with ease (kudos to Delta Airlines), we arrived at my son's home ready to commence what I can now claim as my own personal miracle.  Within an hour, Marty arrived with a smile, this technological marvel known as the X10 machine, and a thorough first orientation/training session filled with words of encouragement and confidence.  I was on my way, although until I began to see results (which were really displayed within that first session), I Had Hope I was still cautiously optimistic about where I was headed.  Could I really achieve the flexion and extension goals I was unable to achieve thus far with any of my existing recovery methods?  Would this therapy really enable me to manage my pain comfortably with mild medications?  Could I trust my X10 therapist and her plan for me?  Would the X10 team really be there for me when I needed them?  Was the X10 therapy the answer to my prayers?  Would I really be returning home in as little as  just over 2 weeks time to see my surgeon's and physical therapist's jaws drop as they witnessed my flexion and extension reach what we all thought would be skeptical results, but instead blow them away with incredible success?  It would not be long before I could actually acknowledge to myself that the answers to each of those questions would be a resounding YES! 110º Flexion Once I was able to reach the 110 degree mark for flexion, it was decided that I would add 5 min a day on the stationery bike. As I felt comfortable, I was able to increase that time in small increments and add another bike session in the evening.  While my progress was measurable daily, I did experience some cramping in my right thigh and calf, dealt with some bursitis in my right hip for about two weeks, and waking with some right leg pain some nights. Taking Care of Myself I found icing and elevating regularly after each exercise session, icing my hip, heat on my upper thigh at night, Tramadol 50 mg. only twice a day with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen alternated during the day, and Theraworx Relief foam massaged in the cramping areas once or twice a day helped keep my discomfort manageable.  In addition, I spent some resting time researching dietary recommendations for inflammation and pain.  I incorporated tumeric, magnesium, Osteo Bi-flex, 100% Cherry or Pineapple Juice, Vitamin B6 & B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, fresh berries and decaffeinated tea with ginger, lemon and honey in my daily diet.  I also decided to limit carbohydrates and sugar intake in an effort to keep my inflammatory response in check. One Week In After one week on the X10 and with constant reassurance and communication from all of my X10 team, I could actually begin to call this journey and the X10 Therapy my miracle.  I had breached the 100's for flexion after starting at 55 degrees, and reached 0 degrees at the end of the first session on my extension, previously at 8 degrees.  My fears, anxiety and uncertainty soon gave way to renewed love for life, joy at gaining confidence in doing daily activities again, sharing my daily success by telephone with family and friends, and hope for the future.  The almost daily contact from one or more of my X10 team members answered any questions that arose, provided authentic cheerleading for my cause, and motivated me to press on for better and better results. Working with My Coach Mary called often to check in with me and was my calm and steady encourager.  My conversations with her were uplifting and kind of like talking to an old friend, casual and comforting.  My PT, Erin, made a home visit to discuss my history and offered varied strategies for increasing my flexion degrees, as well as made adjustments in my therapy plan due to some bursitis that I had recently developed in my right hip.  She was careful to make the appropriate adjustments to my therapy plan.  She and Mike (my strengthening coach and with whom I also met in person to go over exercises), together modified my plan by delaying some of the exercises, while still permitting three sessions a day for range and motion growth. Conclusions As I approach my last day of sessions on the X10 Therapy machine and a return home to Arizona tomorrow, I write my story to encourage anyone who has experienced one or more of the circumstances that I experienced subsequent to a total knee replacement.  I am happy to report that I was successful in breaking through some of my scar tissue, reaching 0 degrees for my extension and 117 degrees flexion.  My gait is much improved and, as I have returned to walking without a limp or dragging my surgical leg, the pain in my hip and lower back has also improved greatly. My knee recovery nightmare has finally come to an end. Some Rehab Insurance I will continue outpatient therapy immediately upon my return home in order to solidify my current range and motion, and even further improve my flexion as I am able.  I write this also as a means of paying it forward to future patients of the X10 and in grateful appreciation to my X10 Team, my family and my friends who affirmed, guided, encouraged, and yes, celebrated, my X10 Therapy journey of success.  The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, which is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it.  I absolutely cannot wait to share my experience and demonstrate my range and motion achievement in person to my surgeon and PT Team back home in Arizona.

Mỹ là mẫu số chung của nhiều biến cố xảy ra trên thị trường dầu hỏa thế giới trong một chục ngày đầu năm 2026 : Can thiệp quân sự và kiểm soát xuất khẩu dầu hỏa của Venezuela ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến quyền lợi kinh tế của Bắc Kinh. Là nguồn cung cấp năng lượng quan trọng khác của Trung Quốc, Iran bị Hoa Kỳ đe dọa nếu đàn áp người biểu tình. Hải quân Mỹ bắt giữ một tàu chở dầu mang cờ Nga làm dấy lên lo ngại về một « cuộc chiến dầu hỏa » giữa hai nhà sản xuất và xuất khẩu nặng ký của thế giới.  Tổng thống Donald Trump đang tính toán những gì chưa đầy một năm đến kỳ bầu cử giữa nhiệm kỳ ? Sau các đòn « trừng phạt », và « thuế quan » đến lượt dầu hỏa trở thành công cụ phục vụ lợi ích an ninh và địa chính trị của nước Mỹ ? Sau nhiều tháng chuẩn bị, Mỹ đã can thiệp quân sự vào Venezuela. Ngay sau đó tổng thống Donald Trump thông báo chính quyền mới tại Caracas đã chuyển nhượng từ 30 triệu đến 50 triệu thùng dầu cho Hoa Kỳ, mở thêm van dầu cho dân Mỹ. Ông Trump cũng khẳng định Hoa Kỳ đã « lập tức »  kiểm soát các hoạt động xuất khẩu dầu hỏa, chiếm 90 % tổng kim ngạch xuất khẩu của Venezuela và Washington « sẽ tiếp tục cung cấp dầu của Venezuela cho Trung Quốc ». Mục đích đối nội trước bầu cử giữa nhiệm kỳ Báo tài chính The Wall Street Journal tiết lộ tổng thống Hoa Kỳ muốn giữ giá dầu ở ngưỡng 50 đô la một thùng, thay vì từ 60 đến 65 đô la một thùng như hiện tại. Lý do tháng 11/2026 cử tri Mỹ được kêu gọi bầu lại 35 thượng nghị sĩ và 435 dân biểu ở Hạ Viện. Bầu cử giữa nhiệm kỳ sau gần 2 năm cầm quyền là một « cuộc hẹn » quan trọng đối với mỗi tổng thống Hoa Kỳ, Donald Trump không là một ngoại lệ. Trong một năm qua, giá 1 gallon xăng tại Mỹ đã giảm 8 % và đây là dấu hiệu rõ rệt nhất giảm chi phí sinh hoạt tại Mỹ và cũng là một " phương tiện hiệu quả để chinh phục lá phiếu cử tri trước bầu cử giữa nhiệm kỳ (mid-term)". Đối với các nhà sản xuất của Mỹ, cái giá 50 đô la một thùng dầu cũng được coi là ngưỡng « có thể chấp nhận được » họ vẫn có lãi để tiếp tục khai thác. Ngay sau chiến dịch quân sự tại Venezuela, Donald Trump đã lập tức khuyến khích các tập đoàn dầu hỏa Hoa Kỳ đầu tư vào quốc gia Nam Mỹ này. Trả lời báo Le Figaro, chuyên gia về dầu hỏa, Francis Perrin, giám đốc nghiên cứu Viện Quan Hệ Quốc Tế và Chiến Lược IRIS của Pháp nhấn mạnh không là yếu tố duy nhất, nhưng dầu hỏa là một chìa khóa trong quyết định của tổng thống Trump về Venezuela :   « Donald Trump rất rõ ràng và đã nhanh chóng hành động : chỉ trong vài ngày, Mỹ hoàn toàn làm chủ nguồn xuất khẩu dầu hỏa của Venezuela. Dầu hỏa ở đây là một trong những lý do thôi thúc Washington can thiệp vào quốc gia Nam Mỹ này, bên cạnh những vấn đề như là ma túy, nhập cư, hay tư tưởng chính trị của Caracas và nhất là những liên hệ giữa Venezuela với Trung Quốc cũng như với Iran ». Cũng tổng thống Trump kêu gọi các tập đoàn Mỹ mạnh dạn đầu tư vào Venezuela. Tuy là một trong những mỏ dầu tiềm năng nhất của thế giới và từng là một thành viên sáng lập của khối các quốc gia xuất khẩu dầu hỏa, nhưng Venezuela đã đánh mất hào quang. Sản lượng hiện tại ước chừng từ 900.000 đến 1 triệu thùng mỗi ngày. Để so sánh thì một quốc gia dầu hỏa khác cũng đang bị phương Tây trừng phạt là Iran, năm 2024 cung cấp từ 3,2 đến 3,5 triệu thùng dầu một ngày. Do vậy theo chuyên gia Francis Perrin, viện IRIS trước mắt các tập đoàn năng lượng của Mỹ không hào hứng như tổng thống Trump mong đợi. « Các tập đoàn dầu hỏa Mỹ là những công ty tư nhân. Họ chạy theo lợi nhuận nhưng không nhất thiết phải nghe theo chỉ định của tổng thống Trump. Không phải vì ông bảo họ lao vào Venezuela mà họ nghe theo. Các tập đoàn này căn cứ vào một số điều kiện trước khi quyết định đầu tư. Những điều kiện đó gồm : ổn định chính trị lâu dài, bởi vì ngành công nghiệp dầu hỏa cần đầu tư rất nhiều, đầu tư hàng chục tỷ đô la và phải mất 10 -20 thậm chí là 30 năm mới mong lấy lại vốn. Điều kiện thứ nhì để bỏ vốn vào Venezuela là các hãng Mỹ cầm chắc phải có lãi. Điều đó có nghĩa là sẽ phải đàm phán rất chi tiết với Caracas về hợp đồng khai thác, hoạt động … Về điểm này quyết định sau cùng thuộc về Venezuela. Yếu tố thứ ba mang tính quyết định tùy thuộc vào những dự phóng của các tập đoàn dầu hỏa về thị trường vàng đen trên thế giới trong trung và dài hạn. Xu hướng hiện nay là thế giới dư thừa dầu hỏa, cung nhiều hơn cầu. Giá dầu do luật thị trường định đoạt và hoàn toàn không do Caracas hay Washington quyết định ».   Caracas đương nhiên phải chấp nhận Nhưng trong vấn đề dầu hỏa Venezuela, tổng thống Trump đã ghi được một bàn thắng quan trọng : Mỹ giành được từ tay chính quyền mới ở Caracas quyền quyết định về lượng dầu xuất khẩu của Venezuela. Chuyên gia về dầu hỏa Francis Perrin nhìn nhận đây là một thỏa thuận quá bất cân đối với Venezuela.   « Các giới chức Venezuela không có sự lựa chọn nào khác. Caracas bắt buộc phải chấp nhận đàm phán và để cho Hoa Kỳ quyết định Venezuela được xuất khẩu bao nhiêu dầu, bán cho ai và với giá nào. Điều đó có nghĩa là Caracas không thể áp dụng chính sách giá cả ưu đãi với Cuba và nhất là với Trung Quốc » Mục tiêu đối ngoại : Từ Trung Quốc đến Nga Mỹ là mẫu số chung của ba sự kiện gần đây nhất liên quan đến ngành dầu hỏa toàn cầu là từ vụ can thiệp quân sự ở Venezuela đến việc Hải Quân Hoa Kỳ tạm bắt giữ một tàu dầu của Nga, và nhất là những diễn biến tại Iran, một mỏ dầu khác của thế giới. Tuy không mới nhưng Nga và Trung Quốc là những mục tiêu quan trọng nhất các nhà chiến lược của MỸ đang nhắm tới. Francis Perrin viện IFRI phân tích : « Rõ ràng, Trung Quốc trong tầm ngắm của Hoa Kỳ khi Washington can thiệp quân sự vào Venezuela. Chiến lược an ninh quốc gia Mỹ công bố tháng 12/2025 đã nhấn mạnh là không một cường quốc nào ngoài châu Mỹ và là những đối thủ của Hoa Kỳ được quyền sở những cơ sở mang tính chiến lược tại châu lục này. Với chính quyền Trump, dầu hỏa của Venezuela là một vấn đề chiến lược. Trung Quốc là khách hàng lớn nhất của Venezuela và lại mua dầu của nước này với giá rẻ. Ngoại trưởng kiêm cố vấn an ninh quốc gia của Nhà Trắng, Marco Rubio quan niệm thời kỳ đó đã chấm dứt ». Sự cố tàu dầu của Nga hôm 07/01/2025 bị bắt giữ từng làm dấy lên lo ngại Matxcơva sẽ trả đũa và có thể là bằng cách « cũng sẽ chặn bắt » các tàu dầu của Hoa Kỳ…. Nhưng kịch bản « một cuộc xung đột dầu hỏa » trực tiếp giữa Washington và Matxcơva tạm thời đã lắng xuống. Dù vậy giới phân tích lưu ý : Từ đầu những năm 2000, Nga đã thắt chặt quan hệ với Venezuela coi đây như một điểm nhất trong mục tiêu thách thức Hoa Kỳ đang dẫn dắt trật tự thế giới. Các ông Vladimir Putin và Hugo Chávez tận dụng mối quan hệ cá nhân tốt đẹp để thách thức Washington và mở ra một cánh cửa cho nước Nga tại châu Mỹ Latinh, như nhận định của Financial Times. Mua bán vũ khí và dầu hỏa là trọng tâm trong mối bang giao song phương. Do vậy giới quan sát đã ngạc nhiên trước phản ứng kín đáo của Nga khi Mỹ can thiệp vào Venezuela và bắt cóc tổng thống Maduro. Thực ra từ 2025 chính quyền Trump đã tìm cách chận nguồn thu nhập dầu của Nga. Rõ rệt nhất áp lực triền miên nhắm vào Ấn Độ. Nhà Trắng liên tục đòi New Delhi ngừng hay hạn chế mua vào dầu hỏa của Nga.  Ẩn số Iran  Trái lại thì lo ngại đang lớn dần khi mà tổng thống Mỹ dọa « can thiệp » kể cả bằng phương tiện quân sự vào Iran, đã khiến giới trong ngành thận trọng hơn hẳn. Trung Quốc là một trong những bên liên quan hàng đầu, do là khách hàng lớn nhất và gần như duy nhất, rất trung thành với dầu hỏa Iran. Năm ngoái Iran sản xuất dưới 3,5 triệu thùng dầu mỗi ngày và gần một nửa hoàn toàn chỉ để cung cấp cho Trung Quốc.  Giám đốc nghiên cứu của viện quan hệ quốc tế và chiến lược IRIS của Pháp nói đến mối liên hệ chặt chẽ giữa dầu hỏa và chiến tranh : « Dầu hỏa và chiến tranh luôn gắn liền với nhau : lúc thì dầu hỏa là nguyên nhân dẫn đến chiến tranh, lúc thì đấy là một trong những lý do dẫn tới xung đột. Chiến tranh -như trường hợp của Ukraina từ đầu 2022 mang lại những hậu quả rất lớn đối với lĩnh vực dầu hỏa, năng lượng.  Trong mọi trường hợp dầu hỏa nuôi dưỡng chiến tranh bởi vì xe thiết giáp, chiến xa … chiến đấu cơ hay tàu chiến cũng đều cần phải có xăng dầu … Trong trường hợp của Venezuela, vàng đen chỉ là một trong những yếu tố đã thúc đẩy Hoa Kỳ can thiệp ». Tham vọng chiếm đoạt tài nguyên Trong thời đại « ảo » thế giới cần những tài nguyên « thực » hơn bao giờ hết, cho nên yếu tố địa chính trị và tham vọng tài nguyên thiên nhiên càng lúc càng gắn chặt vào nhau. Francis Perrin, giám đốc nghiên cứu viện IRIS của Pháp kết luận. « Địa chính trị và tài nguyên thiên nhiên giờ đây gắn chặt vào nhau. Dầu hỏa là yếu tố quyết định trên bàn cờ năng lượng. Còn khoáng sản chiến lược thì đang nắm giữ chìa khóa trong những lĩnh vực then chốt như công nghiệp quân sự, công nghệ kỹ thuật số, công nghệ năng lượng sạch …Thế giới ảo ngày hôm nay thực ra rất cần những tài nguyên thực, những tài nguyên vật chất ».    Điểm nhấn trong hồ sơ dầu hỏa hiện nay là ba biến cố đang diễn ra từ đầu năm 2026, có thể báo trước những gì có thể xảy ra trong những tranh chấp tài nguyên ở mọi nơi trên thế giới, kể cả ở Biển Đông.

An MUA in NYC A TKA and then a Struggle [PJ Ewing] This episode of The Bee’s Knees features a compelling discussion with Dan Heaney, who shares his personal journey through knee surgery and the ensuing recovery process. Dan’s surgery took place on March 24th, and he recounts the initial challenges he faced, including complications with scar tissue that hindered his mobility post-operation. Despite expectations of a smoother recovery, Dan found himself struggling as his knee remained locked at 85 degrees, leaving him frustrated and uncertain about his future. As Dan describes, he sought guidance from his surgeon, but was met with disappointing advice that seemed to leave him at a standstill. His determination drove him to research alternative recovery solutions, leading him to discover the X10 therapy machine. After a pivotal weekend of frustration and desperation, Dan took matters into his own hands and reached out to the X10 team, initiating a turning point in his recovery journey. X10 Therapy Throughout the episode, Dan emphasizes the dramatic impact the X10 machine had on his rehabilitation. Upon obtaining the machine, he diligently committed to using it three times a day, which quickly translated into notable progress. The support he received from his physical therapist, Candice, further fueled his motivation. With consistent use of the X10, Dan saw his knee range of motion improve from 85 to 125 degrees in a relatively short time, radically transforming his outlook on recovery and life post-surgery. Overcoming Challenges | Advice for Future TKA Patients The conversation touches on the mental and emotional strain of navigating the uncertainties of rehabilitation. Dan shares the profound sense of hope that emerged from his experience with the X10 machine, contrasting this with the despair he felt when relying solely on traditional physical therapy. He vocalizes a desire to inspire others in similar situations to seek solutions and maintain hope during difficult recovery processes. As the episode progresses, Dan reflects on the relationships he built during his recovery and the emotional rollercoaster associated with the fear of losing mobility. His story encapsulates not only the physical challenges of post-surgical recovery but also the psychological battles that accompany them. By the end of the episode, Dan celebrates his newfound ability to return to daily activities, including running and surfing, highlighting the life-altering effects of taking charge of his rehabilitation. Dan’s Recent Wedding – Congratulations!!! In conclusion, Dan’s success story serves as a powerful testament to the importance of persistence, innovation, and self-advocacy in recovery. His experience illuminates the potential for rehabilitative technologies like the X10 to yield transformative results, urging listeners not to hesitate in exploring all options available for their recovery.

The Extradition Bill 2025 is making its way through the legislative process and for all but a handful of people its impact on our lives will be minimal. So why do we need this legislation? Well, according to the notes on the Bill, no one should be able to escape justice simply by crossing a border, and our current extradition law relies on a largely repealed piece of dated UK legislation. In other news the electricity inter-connector is 25 years old and during its life 25 billion units of electricity have been exported to the UK providing the MUA with an £80 million profit. Exporting electricity and criminals - some good news at last.

More Than a Knee: Overcoming a Blood Clot, Surgery, and Setbacks. An interview with Kevin about his knee replacement, MUA and X10 recovery.

Things are a little different this week — the tables have turned and Amanda is in the hot seat! Steve takes over the mic and interviews Amanda on all things social media: how she got started, whether she's ever turned down a brand deal that didn't align with her or her audience, what's next for her, and everything in between. If you've ever considered diving into the world of social media or just want an inside look, this episode is a must-listen. Amanda shares insights, tips, and of course, keeps it real. They also dive into some hot takes — including Amanda's very unpopular opinion: she hates weddings (yes, you read that right). And as always, they wrap it up with the unhinged advice segment, reading through listeners' relationship dilemmas and giving their brutally honest takes. Trust us — you won't want to miss this one.

Mark and Nicole talked to the Chaotically Fascinating Burlesque performer, MUA, model and tarot reader Kira VonSutra on the latest Dark Mark Show Kira talked about how haunted Tulsa, Oklahoma was growing up, leading to spirits pulling her off the top bunk of her bunk bed, how she was able to follow her dreams of being a makeup artist to Hollywood leading to her eating lasagna with Danny DeVito at his home, being creeped on by Chevy Chase and making up Dan Aykroyd for a Saturday Night Live sketch directed by Ron Howard, and how she became one of the top burlesque dancers in the Hollywood Scene, despite being a bit of an outsider and having a predilection for having her pasties fall off mid performance. She talks about her fascination with the occult, how she astral projected in a friend's dream, which led to her starting to read tarot cards, the eternal appeal of Bettie Page, her punk rock and rockabilly past, what it is like being married to a metal musician, being “gender chaotic” and how she has video of her face changing during a very intense burlesque performance and so much more!

Buckle up, babes—this episode of Unapologetically Myself is a full-on rollercoaster of reality TV delusions, hallway poop scandals, and dating truths. I brought back my BF Stefanos Vitirados (aka Steve) because y'all loved him last time, and trust—he brought the whiskey and the hot takes. First up: The April Fools prank of the century. We tricked my dad into thinking we got scouted for a reality show. Like, full-blown fake producer email, camera crew fantasy, the whole nine. The man is LIVING for it—planning his retirement, dreaming of $1M-per-episode deals, and texting my mom like he's about to be on Bravo. And yes, we're filming the whole thing for the real show: Crazy Carluccios. Stay tuned. Then… PoopGate 2025 hits. Our apartment hallway became a crime scene after a rogue dog dropped a steamer and didn't clean it up. Now the building manager is accusing everyone on our floor. We know it wasn't Luna (our massive German Shepherd), but there's still paranoia. We're breaking down the poop logistics like we're on CSI: Dog Edition. It's gross, it's funny, it's peak apartment living. Movie night recap: We hit the Hell of a Summer premiere—directed by Finn Wolfhard (yep, Stranger Things). This horror-comedy slasher was so good we'd watch it again. Huge props to Finn for making us laugh and scream, and yes, we walked the black carpet pretending to be celebs.Now let's talk relationship pressure. People are out here in our comments DEMANDING a proposal like they're part of the wedding planning committee. Steve claps back, we talk timelines, and we both agree: Stop rushing people into life milestones. It's not 1953. We just moved in together—let us vibe. White Lotus S3? We haven't watched the finale yet, but so far nothing has happened. No murder, no scandal—just a lot of fancy dinners and dramatic staring. But shoutout to Victoria Ratliff who's serving Patricia-from-Southern-Charm energy. She's the only reason we're still tuned in. Netflix's Adolescents = a must-watch. One-take episodes, insane acting, and real emotional gut punches. We talk about the heartbreaking moments, the insane talent of the young cast, and why it's a show every parent should watch. Trust me, you'll cry. Sydney Sweeney + Glenn Powell = Red Carpet Chemistry. We discuss Sydney's recent breakup, rumors about Glenn, and how wild it must be to date an actor. Would Steve be cool watching me do a rom-com with a hot co-star? LOL, hard no. This episode is for anyone who's ever: ● Been pressured to get engaged by nosy aunties or TikTok trolls ● Had to defend their dog's honor in an apartment scandal ● Got ghosted by someone who invited them to Paris on the first date ● Is OVER modern dating nonsense and just wants honesty, laughter, and some damn guacamole

The power of the unions has always been a huge battleground for Labor and the Coalition.Now there are revelations about the role the former Prime Minister John Howard and his ministers really played in one of the biggest, most divisive industrial disputes in Australia's history. In April 1998 Patrick Stevedores dismissed and locked out 1400 wharfies from their worksites, planning to install an alternate non-union workforce. Today, Jan Fran host of the podcast series Conspiracy? War on the Waterfront on what was hidden from the public until now. For the whole series, look for Rewind on the ABC Listen app.Featured: Jan Fran, host of Conspiracy? War on the Waterfront

When choosing implant components, there are a lot of options out there. You COULD go OEM, but there is a lot to be said about cost and workflow when going with a third party option. How do you choose which option to go with? This episode we discuss why two people have chosen DESS Dental Solutions (https://www.dess-usa.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop0MkxSp_PWNT-yIBXnCm-22lVq4PeYO5AXuhvZdLfC2Zi0nMDR) for their implant workflow. Jimmy Stegall has been educating in our industry for years. Now he has opened his own company to help educate more called Here To Serve Dental (https://heretoservedental.com/). Saro Hatzakortzian is the CEO of Alien Milling Technologies (https://www.alienmilling.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopkvXYwLdILQLUhO3gnz08osI8m7pwVPTgt0LeyT0m2Q1nCqftx) that mill many different situations on probably every platform available. After a brief update on what they have been up to since their last episode, Jimmy and Saro get into why they use DESS for their cases. We talk about MUAs, ti bases, screws, drivers, millable blanks, overdenture abutments, and so much more. Hear it from people that use them and not sell them.
