Since April, when the FDA opened an investigation into the safety of power morcellators used in more than 60,000 yearly hysterectomies and myomectomies, consumer advocates have been waiting to see if the agency would ban their use.
Today, FDA officials answered those questions with a harsh warning against use of the devices, but stopped short of issuing a full ban.
Officials now state that most women who undergo a hysterectomy or fibroid removal should avoid a laparoscopic procedure with a morcellator. They also recommend against their use in women who are near or past the age of menopause, who have suspected cancerous cells, or who can have vaginal procedures instead.
The new advisory requested that makers of morcellator machines add warnings to be given to all women who are considering a procedure with the device.
Morcellators are used in laparoscopic surgeries to limit the incision site and tie required for recovery. They became a stalwart in hysterectomies and fibroid removal surgeries in the past decade due to the ease of use for surgeons and smaller scars for patients.
However, the ultra-thin blades that allow such small incisions can produce deadly results: if a patient has undetected cancer tissue, the mincing of tissue for easier removal can spread the cells to otherwise healthy tissue nearby.
In April, the FDA cited a study by Columbia University that showed 1 in 350 women who have hysterectomies or myomectomies may have undetected uterine cancer. And, there is no way to find it before surgery.
In July, the agency gathered a panel of experts to study the issue deeper, which led to today’s decision.
The FDA advisory is to take effect immediately. However, it may prove moot as the largest manufacturer of the machines, Johnson & Johnson Ethicon, has recalled them.
Already, they and other manufacturers face hundreds of lawsuits from women who developed uterine cancer after undergoing a hysterectomy.

We’re now in the home stretch: The Voice playoffs. On a Tuesday. And they’re not live yet. And you’re not voting yet, either. So this isn’t what you’re used to when you hear the word “playoffs” on this show, but it’s happening. How could we kick off the playoffs with only an hour-long show, you ask? Well, let’s find out.
Carson explains that now each of the artists will choose their own songs, starting with Team Blake. All five members will perform and then Blake will have to kick two of them off the show. We definitely wouldn’t want to be in Blake’s position tonight!
Audra McLaughlin starts the night with Martina McBride’s “Broken Wing.” Before she performs, we see her rehearsal with Blake; he advises her to ease off on the falsetto but also admits that he’s basically “nitpicking.” We’re going to do the same for a second; Holly Tucker performed this same song during the Season 4 live shows, and Audra is a strong singer but doesn’t have the same power in her voice that Holly did, nor does she have the same stage presence. That’s not to say that she does poorly – she especially finishes strong – but it’s hard not to compare her to the version that came before.
Usher (thankfully not wearing that ridiculous hat) calls the performance “effortless.” Shakira praises Audra’s effort. Adam quips, “Because I hate Blake so much, it’s hard to say positive things to his teammates.” Seriously though, he wants to see more performance from Audra. The ultimate decision on Audra’s fate, though, rests with Blake, who tells her that “You realize what this moment is. You swung for the fence; I really respect that.” Then he declares that he needs a drink.
Ryan definitely brings the rock element to the show, and he holds out some pretty impressive notes; if there’s one criticism we have of his performance, it’s the fact that since he’s playing the guitar as well, he’s stuck behind a microphone stand, which is one of our pet peeves. But other than that, we’re really starting to like this guy.
Usher compares Ryan’s ability to hold out notes to Adam’s (which catches Adam by surprise) and says Ryan is “definitely moving in the right direction.” Shakira thinks Ryan is one of this season’s “biggest surprises.” Adam, still flustered by Usher, quips that he wants a “bro-vorce” before getting serious. “It seems like Ryan has the most incredible professional moments combined with still some rough edges,” he says. Blake agrees, declaring this performance Ryan’s best so far. Could Ryan pull out a surprise win on a team that’s once again predominantly country? Meanwhile, Blake quips that Ryan is what Adam would sound like “if he was a man.” Yeowch.
The middle spot in line belongs to the artist Blake stole at the end of yesterday’s episode, Madilyn Paige. She opts for “Clarity” by Zedd featuring Foxes, and that’s a really tall order, because everybody knows Season 4 runner-up Michelle Chamuel owned that song when she performed it – and Michelle had performing experience that we know Madilyn lacks. And honestly, that shows here. Her performance isn’t bad, but she doesn’t get the lyrics out with as much conviction as Michelle did, and she fails to enunciate completely in a few spots. She’s got a lot of work to do, but then again, she’s 16.
Carson goes first to Madilyn’s former coach, who calls it a “good job” and we’re a little surprised that he doesn’t mention Michelle. Shakira calls out some “pocket issues” but is ultimately satisfied. Adam says what we’d say here: “You’ve got to let it go.” He explains that she’s trying too hard to be perfect and there’s so much stillness because she’s trying to be perfect. And as for Blake, “I couldn’t be more confident and proud that I used my steal on you,” but afterward he also admits he doesn’t think that’s the best she could do.
Next up is Jake Worthington, who’s made such a name for himself since coming back to the show after his first failed audition. He’s country through and through, so it’s no surprise that he picks Jake Owen’s “Anywhere With You.” Blake wants to see more presence from him, and he sort of gets it. It’s a solid country performance, and we know Blake really prides himself on moving country talent forward, so maybe he’s in with a chance here, even as Jake is honest with Usher about the fact that he wasn’t perfect. Adam appreciates Jake’s candor and suggests that he was “jacked up on Mountain Dew.” References to Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby follow. Blake seems to think he’s got to choose between Jake and Audra, and that’ll be a tough decision.
If you’re doing the math, we’re now down to Sisaundra Lewis, who we feel pretty comfortable saying Blake will not get rid of. He seems to love her and the producers must, too, as they keep placing her in featured spots during the broadcasts. Sisaundra has chosen Billy Joel’s “New York State Of Mind,” also known as the track that Bryan Keith was unjustly eliminated on after he sung the heck out of it. Is anyone really surprised that Sisaundra takes this song to crazy levels? She’s sort of like this season’s Jacquie Lee in that sense – that she’s known for her power. And judging by the crowd reaction, there’s no way she’s going home, making the competition tighter for everyone else.
After Usher and Adam wonder how Sisaundra landed on Team Blake, and after all the coaches praise her thoroughly (with a little minor constructive criticism from Adam), it’s time to see which two artists have to pack their bags and which three will stay on board. After Jake gives the best speech ever given by a Voice contestant ever, Jlake selects Sisaundra (obviously), Audra, and Jake. Not necessarily how we would’ve played it, but pretty much how we expected Blake to, and now we know who he’s bringing to the live portion of the playoffs.
The Voice playoffs continue Monday at 8 PM ET/PT on NBC.

If you haven’t noticed, I have a table of contents page on this site.
The table of contents has links to the chapters that are split up based on the arcs. If you want to know the arc names, the table of contents has them! And, since I’m now about a full arc ahead in translations, I’ll start updating the table of contents ahead of time per arc, so if you want to check when the current arc will be finished, check the table of contents. This means not all of the links will lead to a chapter immediately though.

The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (Nesta) has discovered this week that innovative high-tech start-ups on which the UK depends for half its jobs are not receiving a satisfactory amount of external investment.
The research has uncovered a 40 per cent decline in venture capital activity in the past two years. The statistics also show that 2009 was a record low, with only £677m worth of investments raised compared to £930m in 2008.
Nesta stated, "The number of exits has fallen by 40 per cent and fundraising dropped by over 50 per cent, both in terms of the number of funds raising new capital and total amounts raised."
Nesta has commented that both the recession and the banking crisis contributed to limiting capital. "Current fundraising is considerably lower than levels seen after the dotcom crash and consequently the lowest level seen in the past decade," a spokesperson commented.
Despite this, Nesta have said that funds that did manage to cash out did so with good returns, as well as predicting that many investments made between 2004 and 2007 in new companies should bear fruit soon.
Mike Lynch, Nesta's investment fund chairman says that high growth technology start-ups are critical to the UK's recovery.
He argues:"These businesses depend on venture capital for pre-revenue finance. Our ambition to rebalance the economy must take into account the difficulties of early-stage investment."

Tune Town with Jiffy Jeff. Jeff collected obscure and records that just did not get the air play they deserved, since he was a wee little tike. He wanted to share all these great finds with other music fans that would appreciate them as he did. Rarely any radio stations to this day play these and other big name artists such as Brenda Lee, Elvis, Del Shannon, Patsy Cline and many many big names from Regional area's that did not get national air play. Whether it was no pay ola no play ola, or just did not get promoted to get played. So many neighborhood (garage bands) and little record lables that just got lost in the big names like the beatles, beach boys ect.
The covered time frame is mostly from 1958 to 1966 pop, teeners, rock and roll. and a bit of country. No head bangin music, or pure noise that followed that era. Jiffy Jeff's attempt is to make it sound like radio did back in the 60s corny jokes, dumb skits, and the good, the bad and some of the worst songs recorded. With visiting charcters such as Large Marge the school cafeteria lady. Leroy the little guy,(convict), the wmoz weather bird, woody pecker. Reverend Jiffy send me some money Jeff and many more, plus weird news and old jingles as well as old car commercials and tunes for all the car clubs.
So tune in to the most politicly incorrect show on the planet. In his own words words, "I am old and just can't take it anymore." That's Tune Town with Jiffy Jeff. Wake up every Sunday morning from 7 am to 10 am with the greatest lost oldies of all time as he digs deep into the rock n roll vaults and adds some morning musical comedic mayhem, artists interviews and a cool retro radio sound here on Surf 97.3 FM.

These tiny berries are also believed to contain antiviral agents– compounds so potent they are thought to deactivate viruses. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own and need to get inside a healthy cell to do so. They are cleverly coated with something called “haemagglutinin spikes” to help them pierce the cell wall. These viral spikes are also covered with enzymes which the virus uses to break down the cell wall. Elderberries have high concentrations of bioflavonoids which appear to inhibit the action of this enzyme, thus deactivating viruses and rendering them unable to pierce the cell wall and replicate.
The Elderflower is also packed with bio-flavonoids that help to boost the immune system. Research has shown that Elderflowers are also effective in killing common pathogens.
The humble elderberry is perhaps most famously used for the treatment of colds and flu. There is much evidence for its effectiveness, with a double-blind, placebo controlled trial conducted during an outbreak of influenza B in Panama in 1995. The study found that within 2 days there were significant improvements in symptoms, including fever, among 93.3% of those taking elderberry syrup. 90% of the elderberry group were completely well again within 2 – 3 days compared to 6 days in the placebo group.
In 2016 another study by School of Pharmacy, Griffith University, Australia published in “Nutrients” , showed that supplementation with elderberry can reduce the symptoms and duration of a cold in air travellers. Travellers who used elderberry for 10 days before travel and up to 5 days after arriving overseas experienced an average 2 day shorter duration of their colds, and a noticeable reduction in their symptoms.
The Elderflower is an "anti-catarrhal" herb, meaning it is extremely effective for runny noses and congestion. Anti-catarrhal herbs prevent excess mucous formation and aid in removing mucous and reducing inflammation in the body.

My family and I moved into a new house about a month ago. Buying houses, selling houses, and moving are all terrible. I don’t recommend it. Especially 4 months after having a new child. About a week after we were moved in, sales people started coming by. This is whatever you would call the in-person version of a cold call. No warning, just a random person showing up on my doorstep, usually around dinner time, to hock their wares. They were selling security systems in this case.
Each salesperson used an identical tactic and it reminded me of everything I dislike about sales people, and filled me with a touch of self-loathing for having to sell.
In my mind, there are two really big components to making a sale. Maybe only one. The optional one is that you need to want what the person is selling. The mandatory component of sales is that you have to like the sales person to some degree. This is the one I see get abused frequently by people that read one sales book or take one course on sales.
The last person that showed up to my place was a lady and a man that she was training. They came around 6pm when I was trying to feed my toddler. They gave the sales pitch from the porch, and I told them that I wasn’t ready to make a purchase decision today. They asked if they could come in to give a 5 minute demo, and I agreed but reminded them that I wasn’t making a purchase today. Twenty minutes later I got them out the door. The lady, a sales manager had a pattern of pitch, something to relate to me (like talking about her kids), getting a ‘no’ from me, and then offering a price reduction.
So, that was a really obnoxious way to spend a dinner time.
I have a rule when I do sales. Absolutely no cold-calls. Luke-warm calls are OK, and there is a big difference. Luke warm calls are no pressure mentions to people I either know or am acquainted with. One way we (Excelon) do this is by looking at connections on LinkedIn for people we have talked with over email before or ideally met a few times, probably at conferences. We take a look at their role and make sure they are in a place to do something with the services we offer. This isn’t exactly targeting people with access to budget, it’s more avoiding putting non-decision makers in a position to have to ask up the chain for something. After this, I take a look at their needs and build context.
When we have a conversation, it is genuine. I start from the premise that they are a person, not a mark. The cold callers that came to my house looked around, saw kids and pretty much said “hey I have kids, too. Now what form of payment would you like to use”?
Building that relationship takes time. Maybe hours or maybe months or maybe it never turns into anything. But, you have to put time into it. Showing up, pressuring someone into a sale, taking an hour of time, and then leaving is just not going to cut it.

Never Before Seen Photograph from Happy Birthday, Cupcake!
Cupcake wants to celebrate her birthday with all her friends but she worries that her party ideas won’t work for everyone. Like how fun would a beach party be? Except that some of her friends melt. So that’s out. In the end, Cupcake’s friends give her the best birthday party ever.
And, in big never-before-revealed news, here’s Cupcake reading her own picture book to her friends!!!
1. Start by planning out your story. My daughter choose to use a plot pyramid structure. Get directions for how to do this here.
2. Plan a background and foreground. We like to use tri-fold poster boards and colorful paper. However, for this project we used cardboard boxes decorated with scrapbooking paper.
3. Set up each scene to photograph.
* To make your cupcake’s arms, try using a paperclip or pipe cleaner.
* Use props from other toy sets — LEGOs or Barbies.
* Make your own sets using the how-to videos from My Froggy Stuff.
4. For each scene, take lots of photos from different angles.
5. Edit photos for lighting using PicMonkey or any editing program. Pick your best photos for each scene.
6. Insert your best photos into a Word document, leaving room on each page to write the story. Then, write the story and print out.
Good job! You just wrote your own Cupcake story!!

You can’t wait to see the result of all your hard work and spent money because living through a remodel is never fun. Cooking on the barbeque because you can’t cook in the kitchen or eating out a lot. Sleeping somewhere other than your own bed or having to shower in the basement because the main bathroom is out of order.
You may have thought about the inconveniences and the costs, but have you thought about your insurance policy? It’s possible you haven’t when you have to think about paint swatches, tile samples, contractor bids and trips to the hardware store.
But it pays to start your home improvement project on a solid foundation. Your team at Secure Insurance Solutions can help you figure out a protection plan that protects you before you start and all the way until after the work is done. Get in touch with one of our brokers today.
Hiring a contractor? Check his insurance (and yours, too).
Are you your own General Contractor? It might not save you money.
D-I-Y Project? Some are covered, some are not (but not because you did it yourself).
Major remodel? Insure the “After” before it’s too late.
You can save money on your Homeowners Insurance with certain remodels.
The kitchen you’ve always dreamed off — it’s finally happening. For such a major remodel you hired a contractor — after all he’s the pro and you only want to be out of commission for a couple of months instead of the five or six it would take you to do it.
You feel good about your decision. So why do you need to think about insurance?
Well, what if your contractor or one of his subcontractors gets hurt while working on your kitchen? When you hire contractor, it’s very important that you check his insurance, and how it extends to his employees or potential sub-contractors.
Protect yourself. Only hire a licensed and bonded contractor. And don’t be shy about asking to see the insurance policy so that you know it’s in force and includes adequate limits.
Worker’s Comp: Covers medical/rehabilitation expenses and lost wages for the worker if injured on the job. If the contractor’s limits are not adequate, an injured worker may sue you.
General Liability: Covers negligence by the contractor which causes injury or property damage to others.
Thinking about opening up your main floor for a more open concept? Or maybe you want to add a second story to the house to give you more room because you just love the neighbourhood.
It sounds great right? More room, more comfort and your home’s value increases. Now to save a little money, you figure you can act as the General Contractor. You don’t have to do the work just organize, orchestrate and order supplies. It’s simple project management, right?
It’s definitely not that easy. If any of the sub-contractors you hire to do the work get hurt in your home, or any of them hurt a third party like a neighbour or pizza delivery person, you can be held responsible.
Your Homeowners Insurance may provide some liability coverage, but it may not be enough to cover your assets if you’re sued for liability and medical costs.
Workers Compensation may be something you want to think about. This is complicated so be sure to talk to one of our expert brokers at Secure Insurance Solutions for your own protection.
All in all, you might be better off both financially and in terms of risk if you hire a licensed and bonded contractor with the insurance and the experience. You already have enough to worry about!
You Can Do-It-Yourself, But Can You Pay For Any Mishaps?
You and your spouse tackle a bathroom remodel. You get it done and it’s absolutely gorgeous and your feet stay warm with that radiant heat under the new slate floor. You did it right — you got the permits, made sure you installed and sealed new pipes, everything’s done to code.
Three months later, there’s a leak.
You wipe it up. It’s back the next day. And when you start looking really carefully, you see fine hairline cracks in the wall and the paint looks really dark. Is this project covered because you did it yourselves?
Generally, whether you do the work or a contractor does it, your D-I-Y home project is covered for all the common perils. But those perils are due to sudden and accidental occurrences. So in this case, there might not be coverage.
This isn’t a sudden or accidental peril. It’s a construction defect. And that wouldn’t be covered under your Home Insurance policy.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Water damage that happens over time (like a slow leak that causes dry rot) is generally excluded from coverage on your homeowners policy. Always address any suspicious leaks immediately. They don’t go away on their own.
Are You Covered “AFTER” A Major Remodel?
When you’ve done a major remodel, like added a second story to your house, contact your insurance broker right away. If something happens to your home without informing your insurance broker of the change, your replacement value that was on your original Homeowners Insurance policy is what you’ll get. Even if you added a significant amount of value to your house with the remodel.
It’s best to call your broker at Secure Insurance Solutions before you even start your remodel. We might be able to give you some insurance tips or help you think of some things you didn’t think of before, and most importantly update the replacement value in your policy.
This will also help you during the construction phase. You may have a significant amount (and dollar value) of supplies stored on your property. If these building materials are stolen or destroyed before your remodel is finished, there may be inadequate coverage.
It felt like a lot of work to replace the old wood-burning fireplace with a gas fireplace. But now it’s done.
You used to pay an insurance premium for the old wood-burning fireplace. With the update, you can now save some money on your insurance.
… Give us a call at 519-986-3250 and share the news so we can help you save some money.

In The Reason I Jump, Naoki Higashida invites the reader to “a nice trip through our world.” However, the only reason that he was able to explain autism through his point of view is that he had a parent and an educator who had the perseverance to get him the tools that he needed to tell his story. Unfortunately, my experience with the LAUSD has shown that the district is not always willing to provide special education students or their teachers with the tools that they need to allow students to achieve their full potential.
In one round to set up an Individual Education Program (IEP), we were told that since one of our daughters had not made any progress towards speech they would be REDUCING her time in speech therapy. The therapist who made this recommendation is the same one who we were told does not like to meet with parents because he stutters. While appealing this and other matters we found out that the district had evaluated my daughter for assistive technology and found that it could be useful. Unfortunately, somebody had forgotten to forward this evaluation to us and nobody at the district had implemented its findings. She is now using a tablet for communication and her teachers report that she has made a lot of progress.
We also had our other daughter evaluated for technology this year but she was turned down on the basis that she is verbal. While I agreed that she does have the ability to form words, she is unable to use these words in a conversation. Finding that she does not need assistance is the equivalent of telling a person with a spinal injury that he is not eligible for a wheelchair because he has legs. Upon further investigation, we found out that the district only evaluates if the student can communicate enough to do their classroom assignments. If we wanted to know if there is technology to assist her in the way that Naoki Higashida was helped, we needed to request a separate evaluation. This evaluation is now ongoing.
Special education is not supposed to be a babysitting service. Students cannot simply be warehoused within the schools until the state says they no longer have responsibility. The school years are the time to actively intervene to make sure that all students achieve their full potential. The price of failure will not only be felt by the students and their families but by a society that will bear a greater cost in caring for people who, because of neglect, become more reliant on the system for help than they needed to be.

VG Debate: Is Fortnite Child Friendly?
I was asked earlier today why I hate Fortnite. I told the person, "It is not child friendly." And he questioned what "child friendly" meant.
So, what do you guys think, is it child friendly? Should it be allowed?

A simple error made by an employee sending an email to a contracted provider resulted in the unintentional disclosure of the medical records of 3,000 clients of the Community Care Services Program based in Georgia.
The Community Care Services Program is responsible for helping people at risk of nursing home placement to remain in their communities and is managed by the Department of Human Services Division of Aging Services.
In this instance, it was fortunate that the email was sent to a contracted provider and that the issue was identified and dealt with quickly. The information disclosed included names and certain diagnoses, but no addresses or other personal details such as Social Security Numbers were divulged.
Despite the breach being identified almost immediately with patients being informed of the error soon after, this demonstrates how easy it is for a data breach to occur when using email as the primary method of communication within a healthcare organization. The fact that a breach of this nature occurred suggests that there were limited safeguards in place to prevent emails from being sent to the wrong parties.
Human error is cited as the biggest concern for healthcare providers [link to white paper once published] when it comes to data breaches, and yet using emails to send and receive electronic protected health information, or ePHI, is routine. While the HIPAA Security Rule does not prohibit the use of email for sending ePHI, the standards for access control, integrity and transmission security require organizations to implement policies and procedures to restrict access to, protect the integrity of, and guard against the unauthorized access to ePHI sent and received via email.
Encrypting emails is just one of these requirements, yet a great number of healthcare organizations incorrectly assume that this is sufficient to make their organization HIPAA compliant. However, provisions such as access control, integrity, authentication, transmission security and auditing all need to be taken into consideration to ensure HIPAA compliance.
Access controls, such as usernames and passwords, should be strong and changed frequently. For email logins, passwords should be generated specifically for this purpose and there should be no shared login for any email accounts with access to ePHI. One issue with access control is that staff may be tempted to use the same login information across multiple accounts and devices to make it easy for them to remember login details. In addition to this, access control extends to the servers that emails are being stored on and being transmitted through. Emails may not be stored on a mail server that has implemented technical and physical safeguards as outlined under the HIPAA rules to restrict anyone from accessing stored email messages and ePHI.
Authentication is one of the biggest stumbling blocks with email, as sending to the wrong person can happen so easily. Another prerequisite of authentication is that healthcare organizations must strictly govern and control which employees are granted access to ePHI and at what level. ePHI must be both secured and encrypted in transit and then in storage to ensure only the intended recipients are allowed to access the data. Again, a small error in an email’s recipient field can result in ePHI being shared with employees that do not have the correct access rights to that information. When receiving an email that contains ePHI, it is unlikely that a user has to go through multi-factor authentication before being able to access the data.
Integrity refers to ePHI being protected from being altered or destroyed. It is possible to accidentally delete an email without realizing it and mail servers should be HIPAA compliant to ensure that malicious outsiders are unable to access ePHI at rest or in transit.
Transmission security is another sticking point with email, especially when sending and receiving emails on a mobile device that may be using unsecured networks.
Finally, auditing is a HIPAA requirement and while emails will provide a log of who sent and received them, discovering who accessed the emails and when, presents more of an issue. At a minimum, organizations need to be able to produce detailed login audit trails that include date, time and IP address of each login, as well as all trails of all sent and received messages.
There are more secure ways of transmitting and storing data than email – limiting the risk of a breach occurring. The Sfax cloud faxing platform restricts access to ePHI using multi-factor authentication, with military grade encryption protecting electronic messages both at rest and during transmission. All documents that are transmitted using Sfax come with full reporting to ensure that detailed audit trails can be provided, so you can be sure of the integrity of your patients’ ePHI.

Dr. Jonathan Vlahos and Dr. Peter Fotos have completed endodontic specialty training at the University of Louisville.
Dr. Vlahos received his DMD and Masters degrees from the University of Louisville, and completed additional hospital residency training in San Diego, California. He also received a commission as a Lieutenant from the United States Navy Dental Corp.
Dr. Fotos received his DDS, Masters and Ph.D degrees degrees from West Virginia University and completed his hospital residency training at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.
In addition to providing endodontic care at this location, both doctors serve as part-time clinical faculty at the University of Louisville, helping assure that the next genertion of dentists provide high quality care to their patients.
This practice therefore assures that the treatment methodology, current sterilization practices and the delivery of compassionate patient care is always provided including post-treatment follow-up monitoring.
This practice utilizes the most current standards for endodontic care including the use of surgical microscopy and advanced 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional (cone beam) digital imaging.
This makes possible enhanced diagnosis, treatment planning and precision during treatment.
In the event of deep dental decay or a tooth fracture, the nerve tissue within the tooth can become inflammed or infected. In order to prevent the infection from spreading, the most conservative treatment is to retain the tooth endodontic therapy as an alternative to extraction. This involves the removal of the nerve tissue follwed by disinfecting and sealing the root canal system.
In a previously endodontically treated tooth, bacteria can sometimes reach the sealed root canal system by penetrating the existing restoration. This necessitates redisinfecting the root canals in a similar manner as the original endodontic procedure.
When the tooth is not able to be retreated or has a recurring infection at the root end, the root tip may be a candidate for a small surgical exposure and treated directly.

Cryptocurrency is an undeniable Revolutionary change in the world of monetary transactions, and it has completely changed the outlook towards Investments.
Cryptocurrency has been able to attract millions of youngsters as well as veteran investors, but for a majority of people, it is still an Enigma. It has been seen that anyone who has been interested in investing for cryptocurrencies has done trading at least once in their lives.
Now there are new and new people who are buying cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and the beginners ask for a trading guide.
This is the reason why we are going to talk about the five simple steps in order to learn the intricacies of cryptocurrency trading. In this guide, we will try to make you as close as possible to become export crypto traders.
This is a very simple process in which you sign up for the specific cryptocurrency website, and you will have to create an account.
Choose the individual option and start putting your credentials like your first name, last name Email, and password. Once you are done, you will have to read the terms and conditions and agree to the same.
Then you have to prove with a certain test that you are not a robot and your account will be set up.
The next step that you have to follow is to secure your account with the help of your phone number or Email. It comprises of a two-step verification process in which you will have to verify using OTP number.
The payment on cryptocurrency investment can be made via bank transfer, debit cards as well as wire transfer. While the debit card system is instant, it is only good for small Investments, the bank account can be used for both large and small investments and can take at least four to five business days.
In the case of the wire transfer, the speed taken can be 1 to 3 business days.
In the case of the cryptocurrency websites, you will be able to buy a number of different kinds of coins, and each of the coins has specific characteristics.
For example, some coins can only be bought sent and received only. You have to go through each of the coin characteristics, and then you can use your funds to buy your first cryptocurrency.
How to protect your Cryptocurrency?
If you want to protect the cryptocurrency, then you should have a wallet. It is just like a literal wallet that helps you secure your money, and the transactions can happen only with your permissions.
From this wallet, you will be able to store as well as send and receive different kinds of cryptocurrencies. This wallet comprises the private key and the public address. Now let us know what these two kinds of terms mean.
Public address: the public address is the address which you will give to others so that others can send you money.
The public address is something that you will be able to give to anyone who wants to send you money, but you should remember that never ever to give anyone even the hint of your private key. It is the password that can be misused by others to take out your money.
In the dimension of cryptocurrency, there are two different options- hot storage and cold storage. Now let us understand the difference between the two types of storage.
The hot wallet is quite similar to the wallet that you have in your pocket. It means that you will be able to use handy cash, but it is quite vulnerable and easy to lose as well. The advantages of hot wallets are that you will be able to use instant funds and get support in various kind of devices. Also, it is extremely user-friendly.
The cold storage is just like your bank from which day to day transactions are problematic, but it is highly secure. In case of the cold wallets, it is absolutely safe, and hackers, as well as viruses, will not be able to gain access to it.
If you want to store your money for long periods of time, you will be able to do so with the help of cold storage.
Now that you know about the five simple steps that you need to you understand for Crypto trading from delta.exchange, you can start your trading procedure today itself.
Over the span of the last three months Japanese IT company GMO internet has managed to generate over $3 million in revenue through their cryptocurrency mine.
As per a mining report published on the 5th of March the firm which trades publicly revealed that In total for the month of December, January and February then have managed to generate 23 BTC, 93 BTC, and 124 BTC respectively and a total coming up to 240BTC’s which in today’s date as of when this article was published amounts nearly up-to $2.64 million as per Coinmarketcap’s Bitcoin price index.
Also, the company revealed that GMO’s mining venture has managed to rake in a value of well over $3.3 million in revenue just months after its initial launch. Along with this, the company was quick to add that they also managed to raise a total 525 bitcoin cash for the same period, which amounts to $654,000 at the market price while publishing this article.
However, it is safe to say that the data presented by GMO does not exactly reveal an absolute picture regarding the mine’s financial status, which also includes the price at which those coins were brought. Also, it cannot be said by a complete assurance that the number of cryptocurrencies raked in were in surplus compared to the operating expenses at any given time in this brief three-month time.
GMO’s development in processing capacity was also explained in details in the report GMO published.
By the end of February GMO had a hash rate of 108 petahashes per second (PH/s), and by the end of this year, GMO intends on achieving 3,000 PH/s.
As per the recent data published by Blockchain, the bitcoin network currently boasts a hash rate of 22,125 PH/s.
It was also revealed earlier, the firm’s initial plan of launching its mining unit last September, which officially went live by the end of last year in northern Europe.

Background: Many animals are toxic and advertise this to predators with conspicuous or distinctive warning signals, termed aposematism . For over 150 years, aposematism has provided a classical system in which to study evolution and adaptation. However, despite extensive comparative, theoretical and empirical study, there remain ambiguities at the heart of the field. For example, the decision by avian predators to attack and consume aposematic insect prey relies on the coordination of multiple sensory systems. Among these, the senses of vision and taste (gustation) play particularly important roles. The gustatory system is crucial for the detection and consumption of palatable, calorie-rich foods, as well as the discovery and rejection of bitter-tasting toxic substances. However, researchers have yet to determine how birds perceive and differentiate between the different quantities or profiles of defensive chemicals in different prey , and there is continued debate as to whether birds use oral taste cues, or post-ingestive cues of toxicity, to make their foraging decisions [3, 4].
Project Description: You will investigate the neural correlates of taste-induced foraging biases against novel and brightly coloured prey items in avian predators. You will examine how the experience of tasting two bitter solutions, or observing conspefics experiencing defensive compounds, is converted by the avian central nervous system into adaptive behaviour. Using c-Fos immunohistochemistry you will identify areas of the avian brain that are activated by gustation. Your research will deepen our understanding of the control mechanisms underlying the intake of nutrients and avoidance of toxins. Understanding the sensory biology of birds will provide novel insights into the evolutionary biology of taste perception and food selection and will be of interest to researchers in behavioural and evolutionary biology, experimental psychology and the medical sciences.
Candidate profile: We are searching for a highly motivated student with a scientific, and curiosity-driven attitude and a strong interest in interdisciplinary research combining psychology, behavioural ecology, and neurophysiology. Excellent communication skills and proficiency in written and spoken English is required. A background in biology or neurophysiology is preferable. Experience with working with birds would be desirable, but not absolutely necessary.

After the success of my Uncle Doug’s 70th birthday Wine Bottle Cake, the pressure was on to come up with something equally impressive for my Aunty Ruth’s 70th birthday. After much deliberation, we decided on a 5 layer “Mount Dandenong Fog Cake” – my take on a London Fog Cake, with the butter cream infused with Melbourne Breakfast Tea instead of English Breakfast Tea.
The cake was then drizzled with a thick, sticky salted caramel sauce and finished off with sugar-craft Peonies that took about three hours each to create. Judging by the comments and the pile of plates left at the end, I’d have to say this cake was a resounding success!

Not all, but some medicine actually contains caffeine to make it work faster, particularly headache relief medications.
I went to CVS pharmacy and snapped this picture of their headache relief formula.
As you can see, the main ingredients are acetaminophen (aka “Tylenol”) and Aspirin. But, there is a significant amount of caffeine too.
At 65 mg, that’s about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. Caffeine allows faster absorption of these drugs and makes them 40% more effective according to Web MD. That means you don’t need to take as much, saving you some money and reduces side effects.
Although it reduces the amount of painkiller you need to take, it raises the amount of caffeine you consume. This creates a slight risk of additional headaches due to caffeine withdrawal when you stop. Be sure to read the package directions and not take more than recommended.
Entry filed under: Food and Drink, Health and Beauty. Tags: absorption, caffeine, headache, medicine.
So glad that I voted for you guys. You’re surely worth my vote.
I’m actually allergic to caffeine, but I have to have it once a month, don’t know why, but it helps (associated with headaches and hormone challenges), but then after that week is over, I’m good to go.
Now that I know some products add caffeine, I’ll be more watchful of ingredients and dosages.
I think so too. In fact I think all primary headaches including all migraines are caused by caffeine withdrawal. The prevailing assumption is that primary headaches such as migraine have other causes besides caffeine, and can occur absent caffeine use, but that assumption has never been tested. I intend to do a trial study in which migraine patients are instructed to wean themselves from caffeine, their compliance verified by saliva tests. Assuming some subjects comply and truly stop using caffeine, this trial will for the first time allow migraine to be observed absent caffeine use. I predict migraines will cease in all compliant subjects.
not all migranes are caused by caffeine withdrawl. i suffered from severe migranes, and after months of thorough testing, was able to determine that the cause of my migranes is caramel. i have not had a migrane since eliminating caramel from my diet completely.
Barry, I want to discuss your research further. I think you have uncovered some salient points in migraine research that deserve further exploration.

Families flocked to the FBC centre for the Summer Bike Bonanza on Thursday 24th August and more than 50 people had fun on bikes on the track behind the FBC centre at Gorse Ride, Finchampstead. The My Journey Wokingham team were there with a variety of children’s and adult bikes for people to try and cycling instructors were on hand to help with some tips on how to cycle safely.
Others brought their own bikes to be checked by a bike mechanic, learned how to fix a puncture and 18 cyclists had their bikes security marked by Wokingham Borough Council’s Community Wardens. Both children and adults also enjoyed the other activities on offer, such as making their own fruit smoothie by pedalling on the “Smoothie bike” or trying not to knock off the bar on “bike limbo.” There were also balance bikes, colouring sheets and activities for the younger children.

Choose either voice commands or the 6" colour touchscreen with pinch-and-swipe gestures for intuitive navigation. Live Traffic can help you avoid the jams. You can even call up a list of local restaurants simply by saying "I’m hungry".
In the 5-seat Tourneo Connect, the second row of seats are split 60/40. And with the backs folded flat, the whole seat can tumble forward to maximise the car’s luggage space. If you need even more room for heavy, bulky items, the seats can quickly and easily be removed entirely.
Pre-Collision Assist detects vehicles and pedestrians in the road ahead. It can even detect pedestrians that may be about to cross the vehicle’s path. The system warns you if it detects a potential collision and if you don’t respond it will automatically apply the brakes. This technology is designed to help reduce the severity of accidents, or help avoid them altogether, and functions at speeds of up to 50mph (80kmh).

For undergraduate teaching, the studio concept is the underlying guideline for the laboratory. This is a novel, yet already proven, educational concept, which puts the student as an individual and students as teams, rather than the professor, at the center stage of the pedagogical process. In each session, a balanced mix of short introductory presentation of ideas and concepts at the theoretical level by the professor is followed by structured teamwork by teams of students who are assigned with manageable study packages. Each such package calls for modeling of some portion of the enterprise or a business process within it using the software tools taught in the course as part of the laboratory activity. Teamwork is central in this activity as it emulates real industrial and commercial environments, where no one is a solo performer and no significant achievement can be the result of the actions of any single individual.
Students work in teams of variable sizes according to the needs and class size. Each team can, for example, play the role of an enterprise with four main departments, e.g., marketing, logistics, manufacturing, and support. Each pair runs a department, models it, studies the relevant ERP software modules that were developed to support it, and interacts with the rest of the departments in the enterprise.
In early sessions, all the teams are engaged in the same tasks in order to be exposed to the basic technologies and techniques. As the course progresses, each team can assume a different role in the supply chain, so teams will learn to collaborate with each other and/or compete on the same market. Teams can also represent different industry sectors, such as discrete or continuous manufacturing, finance, health care, etc. Modern ERP software packages are already designed to support this variability and the students can experience these specializations.
Due to the central and increasing role of enterprise systems modeling (ESM), students at the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management at both the undergraduate and graduate levels must get deep exposure to ESM as an intellectual activity that is backed by a set of the most advanced software environments and tools.
At the undergraduate level, ESM is a major component of the professional preparation of students studying towards B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management, Information Systems Engineering, and Economics and Management. Theoretical, face-to-face lectures do not constitute an adequate learning environment for this type of student preparation.
The physical infrastructure described below is inspired by the Technology-Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) project at MIT for undergraduate physics teaching. Elaborate formative assessment has proven the effectiveness of this approach. A similar room on a smaller scale has been built and is in use at the Technion’s Dept. of Education in Technology and Science for chemistry teaching.
This physical infrastructure achieves the goals that are derived from the educational concept. It constitutes a departure from the traditional frontal teaching mode and lecture hall to the studio approach. The lab is a 7 by 7 meters room with five clover-shaped desks with three computers each around the professor’s station and four viewing screens, one on each wall.
A server connects the 17 computers of the lab so study and research can be done collaboratively.
A High-Definition Video-Conferencing facility enables to hold joint sessions with universities and institutions worldwide.

Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco counties may have found it. Tampa Bay Water's board will vote Monday on picking up the $161,000 tab for continuing the program in those counties. The regional utility and its predecessor, the West Coast Regional Water Supply Authority, have been providing some funding for the water conservation program since 1995. If the utility's board approves, it would give Pinellas County an additional $56,000, on top of the standard $72,250; Pasco would get $60,000 in addition to its expected $74,250; and Hillsborough would get $45,000 on top of its $76,500. The board meets at 9 a.m. at its headquarters at 2575 Enterprise Road, Clearwater.

Barclaycard stopped taking new applications for the Arrival and Arrival Plus cards earlier this week, in advance of a product refresh in mid-July. Amid the speculation about potential changes to benefits for cardholders, Barclaycard had remained silent about updates until this afternoon.
Barclaycard will lower the redemption bonus for both the Arrival and Arrival Plus cards from 10% to 5% starting in November for existing cardholders. As part of this change, Barclaycard will be applying the redemption bonus to additional categories, such as cash back, gift cards and merchandise, in addition to travel.
The changes to these rates effectively reduces the 2.22% return to 2.11% on cash back — making the card a tougher sell with so many other competitive products, especially with an annual fee.
For Arrival Plus cardholders, the minimum threshold to redeem for travel is being raised from 5,000 to 10,000 miles. The cash minimum redemption is also being raised from 2,500 Arrival miles to 5,000.
Barclaycard is also completely eliminating the tourist attraction category in an effort to eliminate confusion surrounding the definition of a tourist attraction, and what expenses actually apply. The TripIt subscription formerly included with the card will also be cut with this new refresh.
These changes will go into effect in November for cardholders who got the card before Sept. 30, 2014, and in August 2016 for cardholders who got the card on or after Oct. 1, 2014.
Both cards will still retain some of its other benefits, including 2x earned on all travel purchases, no miles expiration, redemption bonus with travel statement credits, no foreign transaction fees and other fringe benefits not directly related to travel.
The relaunched card will be available to new cardholders in mid-July (cardholders will now be able to get EMV chips for more security).

12) Unpaid chauffeur– From lending you his favorite shirt for a date, or his bike for a ride, it goes without saying that everything that belongs to him, belongs to you as well. Remember that famous Airtel tune? Making coffee for you on your post breakup nights, managing notes for you a night before the exams, getting you first day first show tickets of your favorite actor’s movie, you name it, he will do it. No questions, no complaints, no demands but yeah lots of drama! After all, what are friends for? Pretty much for everything!
11) Wing man – No matter how much you both fight, there is one thing a good friend will always be and that is loyal. Loyalty has various manifestations. Be it never indulging in gossiping behind your back, never allowing anyone else to pick on you, never letting out your secrets or any other situation. It just means standing by your side when you need him and even when you don’t! Even when the whole world will be against you, he would be there by your side. Over time, over distance, over fights, he will always be there by your side. Be it the “have you met Ted” ice-breakers or the most embarrassing moments, you can not get rid of him, nor do you want to, we know!
10) Abusive – If a friend is not abusive, who else would be? The first sign of a good friendship is when you can openly abuse each other at any time in the day or on any issue big or small. From trivial daily abuses to the major ones on your achievements, a good friend is your encyclopedia to new and innovative abuses. People who do not know your relationship with him might as well mistake you two to be arch rivals, but then that is the fun of it!
9) Understanding – From your “are you thinking what I am thinking” look to your mood swings, a good friend understands most things without you explaining it to him. You both share telepathic jokes in a group, know how to handle each other in the “I will kill anything that crosses my way today” phase and have similar opinions on major issues. A good friend is the only one who can hear the “I need you” when you scream “go away”. He would accept you the way you are.
8) No questions asked – Be it a tough situation where you need help or be it a person you just can’t bear to look at, a good friend will be there by your side, no questions asked. Many “so-called” friends would give you the excuse of maintain cordial relationships, but only a good friend will be at your side and cast a particular person in his hate list just because you do. In various tricky and embarrassing situations, only a good friend will first help you and later ask you why.
7) Family syndrome – A good friend will be like your sibling to your parents. Whenever your parents can’t reach you, he is the one they call. Having him home for the night or during any celebration seems normal to everyone and he knows all your close family members. He enters your house and opens up the refrigerator to get water if he is thirsty. You never have to offer him a seat, your bed is the place he will crash when he is at your place. The biggest blackmail that he uses on you is “should I tell your mom” because, yeah, he has your complete family’s number.
6) Comforting – A bad test, a break up, a bad hair day or just exam-stress, a good friend will forget his worries and be by your side every time you need a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on. You can vent out all your worries, insecurities and nervousness to him and he will be the rock to hold you together. He values you more than anything else and would let you realize that often.
5) Protective – This may sound weird but it is true. A good friend is the one who is protective about you. He might criticize, abuse or make fun of you himself but if someone else does it, it is show time. He would never be a part of the group or conversation which puts you down. Rather he would sense your disrespect even before you do. Yeah, you kind of have a mutual body-guard relationship there. People would be envious of the same, but none of you cares! After a point of time, any one commenting on either of you knows it is going to be one VS two.
4) Informal – From seeing you in your worst state at home to eating off your plate, formality is a taboo for him. None of his texts/call/conversations are even remotely formal let alone respectful. He does not need to seek permission to crash at your place or hog on your lunch. Formality is fake to him. Rather in one of your inside jokes you both pretend to seek permission from each other and then tear up laughing!
3) Best critic – He would never tell you that you have lost weight if you have not, or that dress suits you if it does not. Some people may call it brutal honesty but a good friend is the one who will never lead you to the wrong path even if the right path is hurtful. He is that person who you can fall back to for extremely honest opinion on anything and everything. Even though he wants your betterment, he would never lie to you to make you feel good. His criticism would ensure that you are more careful the next time. It helps, trust me. It keeps you grounded.
2) Over dramatic – Be it your achievement or your failure, he will be as dramatic as a Bollywood movie can get. From jumping on your bed to posting a meter long PDA posts on your Facebook wall, he will do it all to let the world know about your achievement and his pride in the same. ”. Yeah, sometimes he owns up all your efforts and that doesn’t bother you at all! As you can put up with all his drama, so can he. In your blues and all your colors, he can pull you out of that dirty sweatshirt, get you dressed and get you to party with the least amount of blackmail input! He is a little bit of crazy, mature and lively all at the same time!
1) Noncompetitive – In this age where everything is comparative, be it your college grade or entrance tests to universities, competition is what kills a friendship more than anything else. Despite all the pressure, difficulties, stress and what not, a good friend will always be happy in your achievements. He has two parallel worlds, your achievements and his own and he is equally ecstatic about each one of them. For him your friendship matters more than marks or any materialistic gains on his or your resume. Your progress is never an object of envy for him, rather it is an opportunity to extort another treat from you! The one who crosses this test for you, will be your treasured friend for life!
So identify the people who live a part of their life for you, make sure you put in as much effort for them as they do for you. Whenever you find someone who ticks off most of the things from this list, hold on tight! After all good friends are rare to find and tough to maintain. As Ted Mosby says, when you find someone you want around for a long time, you must do something about it! So pick up your phone and give that friend a call, thank him for all that he has done for you, give him 2 or 3 abuses and tell him you value him. Be that friend to him, the one you want him to be to you.
As gooey as this sounds, he will be there for you forever! Let us know your crazy friendship stories in the comments!

It happened again this week: Peter, I need varifocals, do you think I should get the Physio ones from Boots or the Varilux ones from my local optician.... This was an easy one, but offering an opinion or giving free advice is not always that easy. It's difficult not to offer an opinion when asked, by friends and family, about ocular issues. But can your opinion count as advice and can giving free advice come back to bite you.
In negligence, any 'specialist' has a greater duty of care to other individuals than other members of the public. As a registered optometrist, your actions will be judged against the other members of the profession, not the general public at large. I often use another example of free advice which was a much more tricky situation. While cutting my lawn a few years ago my neighbour, also tending to his garden, leaned over the fence to ask me about his red eye. Was is an allergic reaction or something more serious? The consequences of getting this one wrong were much more serious. But refusing to give any advice would be rude. I had a look as best I could and told him if it didn't get better he should come and see me in practice the following day. It did get better and he didn't come and see me in practice so it probably was an allergic reaction, but without a slit lamp it was difficult to tell.
Giving 'free advice' is something we all do often but when you do, make sure your advice is appropriate, and that other opticians, in the same situation, would give the same advice. Don't guess or reassure people "it will be OK". That way, if anyone comes to harm by following your advice you can say you did your best in the circumstances.

As soon as the student logs in to Splash Math, Splash Math algorithm automatically recommends a skill to the student for practice. This is based on the learning history of the child. This feature enables the student to easily pick the next skill to start from the learning path instead of leaving the decision process entirely in the hands of the child.
The curriculum for the default grade-level which is set by the teacher while creating the class is also shown to the student on the dashboard. The curriculum lists all available skills in the current grade in an easily readable format on the student dashboard. The teachers can ask all students or a group of students to click on a certain skill from this list. The skills also include the progress of the student in the skill. The students can start a new skill, review a completed skill or resume practicing a skill.
Math facts practice form an important part of the learning process in the elementary school. Students can brush up their math facts quickly with our math facts section.
Splash Math provides rewards coins for each correct answer to the student. Students can spend their coins in the Games section for rewards. This leads to higher engagement among students and also motivates them to do more math. Two games are included in splash math - Aquarium and Jungle.
