That demand has pushed the price of ivory so high that the tusks from a single elephant could be worth more than $100,000. That, in turn, encouraged many hunters and traders in Africa to ruthlessly pursue more elephants. But the ivory boom may be over.

Read More »Elephants have been slaughtered by the thousands in recent years in what appeared to be an insatiable quest for ivory. Employing a wide range of tools, including helicopters, military-grade weaponry and poisoned pumpkins, poachers have brought down herd after herd. The poachers have also killed scores of wildlife rangers. The tusks have been spirited out through a network of African gangs and corrupt government officials. A vast majority of ivory ends up in China, where a rapidly growing middle class has coveted it for bracelets, combs, statuettes and other status symbols. That demand has pushed the price of ivory so high that the tusks from a single elephant could be worth more than $100,000. That, in turn, encouraged many hunters and traders in Africa to ruthlessly pursue more elephants.

Osteoarthritis is a common condition which affects the joints, most commonly the hips, knees or hands. It typically affects the DIP and PIP joint of the fingers and the CMC (base joint) of the thumb, making them feel painful and stiff. It is a medical condition, caused by wearing down of cartilage and joint inflammation. It is associated with hereditary factors (if one or more of your family has hand arthritis), gender (it is more common in women than in men), a previous hand injury and increasing age. It is not a piano-related injury as such, but it can be exacerbated by high-intensity wear and tear (overuse) of joints in professional pianists who practise intensely. Moderate piano playing, however, is often recommended as a healthy, therapeutic activity which keeps the joints supple. Pianists with arthritis may find that the stiffness and malformation limits their strength and agility at the keyboard and they may need to find ways to manage the condition and modify their technique to work around any changes that occur. If intense practice sessions exacerbate pain in the joints, they may need to reduce practice time or take more regular breaks.
