They include the Bloons series, the Bloons Tower Defense series, and several other spinoffs. Most Bloons games are browser-based games that use Adobe Flash Player, although some are available on other platforms.
The rubber balloon was invented by Michael Faraday in 1824 during experiments with various gasses. A balloon is a flexible bag that can be inflated with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or air. Modern day balloons are made from materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene, or a nylon fabric, and can come in many colors. Some early balloons were made of dried animal bladders, such as the pig bladder. Some balloons are used for decorative purposes, while others are used for practical purposes such as meteorology, medical treatment, military defense, or transportation. A balloon's properties, including its low density and low cost, have led to a wide range of applications.

Real Madrid vs Tottenham: Genuine Madrid 1 Tottenham 1: Hugo Lloris gains Spurs notable point on an activity stuffed night at the Bernabeu.

We interact with an infinity of objects from birth to the grave.
Over time our ‘belongings’ become more steeped and resonant with memory and nostalgia.
In many ways, personal objects express aspects of who we are — our identity: our values: our statements and choices.
The passages of time through which we exist become defined by the objects with which we interact.
The artefacts contained within the earthen mound — partially buried — partially excavated — have all played a part in my life.
I have had a special connection to each item presented — a connection that has been hard to relinquish.
In time, we will all disappear from this earth.
What will we leave behind? Who will remember us — and for how long?
The mound is a glorious metaphor for the ultimate conclusion of all material manifestations.
We cling — consciously or unconsciously to ‘things’ that are endowed with emotional significance — keeping memories alive, while the uncomfortable awareness of the inevitable moment of departure is held at bay.
“Annie’s ferocious talent as a songwriter, her dynamic stage presence, and her passionate call to social activism make her work cut an exceptionally wide swathe across global culture. We know and admire Annie Lennox’s work in the public sphere, and there will be sections of this show in which that iconic persona reverberates — sometimes metaphorically, sometimes sonically, sometimes stylistically, and sometimes with just a trace of irony. But juxtaposed against her public face, as we examine this excavation of remarkably personal objects, we will come to better understand some of the underlying and more private forces that motivate her work in song, and her passionately argued campaigns for justice, global health, and social equity across gender and race,” notes MASS MoCA Director Joseph Thompson.
The exhibition — part material diary, part art installation, and utterly human — is accompanied by a printed “field guide” in which Lennox annotates many of the objects on display, identifying the objects and adding recollections, personal stories, and provenance.
In connection with the exhibition, Lennox will discuss her work and perform songs in a performance to benefit The Annie Lennox Foundation and MASS MoCA’s Fund for New Music.
For information about tickets to the benefit performance, An Afternoon of Conversation and Song with Annie Lennox on May 25, visit massmoca.org/annie-lennox.
Celebrated as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of our time, Dr. Lennox was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2011 for her work towards the eradication of AIDS and poverty in Africa. She is a Royal Academician, a respected social activist and philanthropist, and is the first female Chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University of her native Scotland.
Annie is also founder of The Circle – a not-for-profit organisation that works to support and empower some of the most marginalised women and girls around the globe.
Her work in the visual arts has included an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The House of Annie Lennox, which travelled to Manchester, Aberdeen, and The National Portrait Gallery of Edinburgh.
Named as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone Magazine, Annie Lennox’s musical career now spans over four decades. Her collaboration with partner Dave Stewart formed ‘Eurythmics’ in the early ’80s.
Lennox has also enjoyed a widely celebrated solo career – selling over 83 million albums worldwide, her song writing and performances have garnered numerous musical accolades, including: 8 BRIT Awards (including Lifetime Achievement), 4 Ivor Novello Awards, 3 MTV Awards, 4 Grammy Awards with 10 Grammy nominations, 26 ASCAP Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. She is the first woman to receive a British Academy of Songwriters Fellowship.
In 1986 Lennox became an associate of The Royal Academy of Music, which was then followed by a Fellowship in 1997 and an Honorary Doctorate in 2017. She has been recognized with doctorates and fellowships from The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Edinburgh College of Art, the Open University of Scotland, Essex University, Williams College, USA, and Berklee College of Music, USA.
In 2016 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Musicians’ Company.

Two students are headed to York University this fall to begin their studies with prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarships.
Jack Wawrow and Katrina Carver are two of 50 students chosen across Canada this year to receive the scholarships for undergraduate education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). There were 1,400 nominations for the scholarships in 2018, out of a pool of 350,000 candidates across Canada. The winners are selected for their outstanding academic and extracurricular achievements.
Jack Wawrow, a graduate of Holy Names Catholic High School in Windsor, Ontario, is a recipient of the $100,000 Schulich Leader Scholarship. After heading up engineering on his school’s robotics team, Wawrow will be entering York’s unique space engineering program in the Lassonde School of Engineering this fall. He hopes to design and build rockets and, one day, to advance Canadian ventures into space.
Katrina Carver, a graduate of Citadel High School in Halifax, N.S., is a recipient of the $80,000 Schulich Leader Scholarship. Carver, an award-winning Model United Nations delegate, has a passion for physics and plans to pursue graduate studies in theoretical physics or astrophysics one day, to prepare her for research that seeks to unlock the secrets of the physical world. She will join the Faculty of Science at York.
“Schulich Leader Scholarships are the largest STEM scholarships in Canada. With 50 outstanding students selected each year from across Canada, this group represents the best and brightest Canada has to offer,” says program founder Seymour Schulich.

With a history dating back to the 1946-47 season when there were squads like the St. Louis Bombers, Providence Steamrollers and Pittsburgh Ironmen, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has seen its share of teams over the years. As the league has evolved and expanded into its current 30-team format, the NBA has also seen its share of makes and misses when it comes to team logos.
What Makes a Great NBA Team Logo?
Fits with the sport – Does the logo make you think basketball?
Illustrates the team name – Does the logo in some way reflect the name?
Connects with the city or state identity – Does the logo represent the locality?
Appeals to fans & looks cool – Does the logo make you want to buy merchandise?
Power Rankings: Which NBA Teams Have the Best Logos?
The Jazz name may be an odd fit for its city (does Utah even have jazz?), but it’s a good fit for basketball—with the sport often likened to jazz music for its style of play. This logo merges the two world’s with its music-note basketball that also serves as the “J” for Jazz. This is essentially the Swiss army knife of logos.
The NBA has its share of animal team names and logos (Bulls, Bucks, Pelicans, etc.), but this one is the best. It’s threatening with its yellow, angry eyes—without being too creepy. The different blue shades and use of shadow are great touches. When included, the font used for the team name is also powerful and readable.
Some could argue that (like the team itself) this logo doesn’t have much personality. But it’s simple and versatile—working whether the red and white colors are used in the format below or reversed. Also, by just doing the hawk outline, they don’t get caught up in animal detail overload like some of the logos noted above.
Colorful and vibrant, this logo looks almost like it was influenced by the Superman insignia. The three-dimensional design of the “Knicks” name makes it appear forceful and imposing (unlike the team itself). This logo’s definitely got a retro vibe to it that works great on a t-shirt.
One of many circular logos in the NBA, it’s almost easy to overlook just how good the Washington Wizards’ logo really is. The colors are pure America and the big picture gives us the lines of a basketball. But a closer look reveals the Washington monument, with a star shining gloriously above it (a nice touch).
This logo hits on all the criteria mentioned above. It gives us basketball, the city, and the team name wrapped together in a clever way (the city is the crown atop the ball). But what actually propels it to the top of the list is the use of color. The purple and gray really work together well here, making this our pick for best logo of the NBA.

Take advantage of your growing equity to borrow and improve your house.
By Mike Kinane, Contributor |Aug. 21, 2018, at 10:19 a.m.
U.S. homeowners with mortgages have seen their home equity increase nearly 12 percent year over year, according to CoreLogic’s recent home equity analysis. That represents a gain of almost $871 billion since the third quarter of 2016. Most homeowners recognize that having more equity in their homes is a good thing, but do they know how to leverage it – and capitalize on it?
Savvy homeowners are leveraging this jump in home equity through home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs. A HELOC is a line of credit extended to a homeowner that uses the borrower's home as collateral. Borrowers are pre-approved for a certain spending limit based on the equity they have accrued in their home and can draw against this limit for various uses.
This kind of loan option is particularly popular for those who are financing home repairs after the long, harsh winter and for those who are looking to renovate their homes and outdoor spaces for the warmer summer months. In fact, TD Bank’s recent Spring Home Lending Survey found that property values have increased over the last 12 to 18 months for 69 percent of respondents, and close to half (42 percent) said that they are somewhat, very or extremely likely to apply for a HELOC within the next 18 months.
Compared to borrowing funds from short-term loans or using a credit card, one of the reasons HELOCs are attractive is because they’re one of the lowest-cost borrowing options for a homeowner. They also give borrowers the freedom to choose between a fixed or variable interest rate option.
A fixed-rate option can save customers money by not only dropping their interest rate, but also allowing them to pay off the debt in a time frame they choose. HELOCs can also be helpful in consolidating debt at a lower interest rate. Borrowers have immediate access to low-interest funds, which can be useful for those who are looking to pay off debt.
Following a tough winter, many homeowners are dreaming of updating their patio furniture, putting in a pool or adding a garden, and are leveraging the boom in home equity to do so. TD’s survey also found that the most popular uses for HELOCs were home renovations and repairs (53 percent), major home purchases like appliances (28 percent) and debt consolidation (26 percent). An added benefit for those financing a home renovation with a HELOC is that some of the costs may be tax deductible.
For those who are using a HELOC to finance repairs and renovations, the most common updates needed are window replacements (35 percent), and heat or air conditioning system replacements (33 percent), and structural repairs (32 percent). The top three cosmetic renovations are bathroom updates (37 percent), kitchen updates (36 percent) and exterior painting (26 percent).
HELOCs are also a sensible option for those looking to increase their home’s value to sell during the summer homebuying season. More than one-third of respondents looking to renovate said they’re doing so to increase the value of their home. Potential sellers should get smart on what can derail a home inspection, however, like a leaking water heater or a loose shingle on the roof, and consider leveraging a HELOC, which can then be paid off at the closing table during a sale.
Homeowners have seen equity increase, and home equity borrowing remains one of the lowest-cost borrowing options for homeowners looking to renovate their home, consolidate debt or accomplish what they most need. With the 2018 homebuying season well underway, now is the time homeowners should speak with their financial institution to gain an understanding of how to obtain and leverage a HELOC. Lenders can help homeowners understand the terms, features and multiple benefits of obtaining a HELOC, and find an option that best fits each homeowner’s unique financial situation and future goals.
Mike Kinane is senior vice president, general manager of consumer lending, at TD Bank. With close to 30 years of banking experience, Mike has U.S. footprint-wide accountability for the bank's consumer lending businesses, including home equity and personal lending products.
Based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, Mike joined TD Bank in September 2005. He is also currently on the advisory board for the National Federation of Credit Counselors and the client advisory board for Equifax.

Salvation is not a feeling, but a state in which a person has received Jesus Christ as Lord by faith. Feelings vary from one moment to the next, yet God does not. As a result, we should not determine our salvation based on our feelings or lack of feelings. The Bible calls us to base our salvation on what Jesus has done for us.
First, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the basis for our salvation (Romans 5:10; Ephesians 1:7). This unchanging fact should encourage us when we have doubts regarding our salvation.
Second, our salvation began by faith, not feelings. Though most people associate strong feelings with the point of salvation, this is not a requirement. Ephesians 2:8 is clear in stating that we are saved by grace through faith. This belief in who Christ is and what He has done is what leads us to salvation, not the feelings that may have been involved.
Third, the Bible never teaches that we will feel saved. Rather, we are often taught that we will encounter persecution (2 Timothy 3:12). The Christian life includes a full range of emotions, from joy to discouragement, even as the apostle Paul shared (2 Corinthians 11:24-29). These emotions did not cause him to doubt his salvation but were an expected part of life. Further, Jesus Himself experienced deep emotions during His earthly ministry. He wept over the death of Lazarus (John 11), felt the sting of betrayal, sweat blood from His distress in the Garden of Gesthemane (Luke 22:44), experienced frustration at those who would not accept his teachings and joy at those who would, knew abundant life, had times of rest with the Father, experienced physical and spiritual pain, and experienced the victory of resurrection.
Our emotion-focused culture often tempts us to associate our feelings with facts. Yet fact and feeling do not always align. The fact of salvation takes place when we receive Christ by faith. This faith comes from God and continues throughout our lives. Our feelings will vary based on a variety of factors, ranging from the weather to our health, stress level, and much more. While emotions are important, they are not the determining factor in salvation. The fact of Christ as Lord and our faith in Him are the essential factors. No matter our current emotion, we know that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37-39).

Beaux Cheveux was brought together in 2015 by the duo’s personal love of songs, past and future. Made up from Adrian Conner and Clementine, who in their other lives respectively perform in AC/DC (Hell’s Belles) and Led Zeppelin (Zepparella) tribute bands, have joined forces to release original music. Their debut single, ‘Deeper Feeling’, brings an entirely new sound to the modern musical landscape.
Adrian and Clementine were separated by thousands of miles of distance, but nonetheless began swapping audio files in collaboration between their homes in San Francisco and Austin. After two years of this, Beaux Chevea]ux is now perfected, and the band keep one foot in the future, with their use of electronic textured instruments, and one foot in the 70s rock past of guitars and monster drums. The result is a trippy, psych, dream pop style.
‘Deeper Feeling’, the first track from Beaux Cheveux’s debut album, ‘Ro Sham Bo’, is Tom Tom Club meets Bananarama, and kicks off with a classic 70s guitar, held together with a clean drum, and some layered electronic samples. Harmonising vocals in the chorus make for an incredible release after the tight beat. It’s a compelling sonic landscape, and is accompanied by an organic, home-grown video, featuring the pair spending time with nature, impersonating animals, singing to skulls…and of course, jamming. They show that they take everything seriously, but not themselves, which is quite refreshing.
You can pre-order ‘Ro Sham Bo’ here, ahead of its 2018 release. Find Beaux Cheveux online on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

In the hours leading up to Maryland’s season opener, the normal routine of a college football Saturday sputtered into action. A Maryland flag runner practiced his celebratory route in the end zone. Fans with the state flag printed on their sleeves took photos of an empty field. The Terrapins’ band filed onto the turf as kickoff approached.
Since this summer, the game of football has become secondary for Maryland’s program. The death of Maryland offensive lineman Jordan McNair carried more weight than any on-the-field question. The tragedy, and the ensuing controversy related to allegations of an abusive team culture, has prompted two independent investigations and thrown the tenures of Maryland Coach DJ Durkin and other officials in doubt.
With offensive coordinator Matt Canada acting as interim coach while Durkin remains on administrative leave, a game finally emerged into the forefront when the Terps faced No. 23 Texas at FedEx Field. And just as Terrapins did last year, Maryland upset a ranked Texas team, this time by 34-29.
Antoine Brooks Jr. sealed the win when he intercepted a pass by the Longhorns’ Sam Ehlinger at the Maryland 11-yard line with 1:13 remaining. The Terps outscored Texas 10-o in the final quarter and forced turnovers on the Longhorns’ final three drives.
Freshman receiver Jeshaun Jones fueled the Terps’ early success with a stellar debut. He scored touchdowns on each of his first three college touches — one rushing, one receiving and one passing.
The three-star recruit from Florida leaped onto the scene with a 28-yard touchdown run on the sixth play of the game, enough for a solid first college showing in its own right. But then he kept scoring. Four minutes later, Jones grabbed a 65-yard touchdown pass from starting quarterback Kasim Hill — the longest play of the game. On his next touch, less than seven minutes into the second quarter, Jones threw a 20-yard pass to Taivon Jacobs.
The Terps had a 24-7 lead, thanks to Jones and a strong defensive showing. But the Longhorns scored 22 consecutive points to surge ahead, forcing Maryland to muster the fourth-quarter rebound.
In the final quarter, the Terps’ defense rose again. Brett Kulka recovered a Texas fumble, and Tre Watson intercepted a pass from Ehlinger. Maryland regained the lead with a 17-yard touchdown run from sophomore running back Tayon Fleet-Davis and an 18-yard field goal from freshman kicker Joseph Petrino.
Particularly before kickoff, reminders of McNair were prominent. As the Terps ran onto the field for the first time this season, offensive lineman Ellis McKennie, a high school teammate of McNair, carried a flag with McNair’s No. 79 written in white on red fabric. He rested the pole on his shoulder as the team congregated on its sideline. During a moment of silence, McKennie raised the flag, stretched his arm above his head and then waved it with fervor in front of an announced crowd of 47,641.
The team’s captains carried McNair’s jersey to midfield for the coin toss, and every Maryland player wore a red helmet sticker with McNair’s jersey number. For Maryland’s first offensive play, the team lined up with 10 men on the field, leaving a spot open for Jordan McNair. Maryland let the clock run out, and Texas declined the penalty.
And then the game began — an illustration of the dichotomy the players will face this season. At times, they grieve. Then, they focus on the game. Canada said earlier this week that the team has tried to separate the two, while recognizing the pain won’t just disappear.
In 2017, Maryland spoiled Tom Herman’s head-coaching debut with the Longhorns. This time Canada, an acting head coach for the first time in his career, started with success. After arriving in College Park about seven months ago, he gave Maryland fans their first glimpse of the Terps’ offense with him calling plays. Typically, Canada’s offenses have been creative and run-heavy. Against Texas, Canada used 11 ball carriers. At times, running backs acted as receivers and vice versa.
Twice, though, Canada’s offensive play calls contributed to the Texas rally. Jake Funk fumbled and was tackled in the end zone for a safety on a jet sweep to cut Maryland’s lead to 24-16 in the second quarter. With the lead down to 24-22 in the third quarter, Maryland attempted a fourth-down conversion at its own 36-yard line and could not gain the yard it needed. Texas quickly used the advantageous field position to score for its first lead of the day.
Normally, Canada would call plays from the booth upstairs, but in his interim role, he’s on the sideline, an unusual place for him.
Canada opted to start Hill at quarterback rather than last season’s Week 1 starter, Tyrrell Pigrome. Both returned after suffering season-ending knee injuries last year — Pigrome in the first game of 2017 and Hill in the third.
Hill completed 17 of 29 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown, and rushed six times for 10 yards, on Saturday. Pigrome entered for a few snaps at a time at multiple points; he completed 3 of 4 passes for 22 yards and gained 12 more yards on three carries.
In a game delayed by lightning for more than an hour in the fourth quarter, three athletes scored for the first time as Terps: Jones, Tayon Fleet-Davis and Petrino, who also had a 33-yard field goal in the second quarter.

While traveling in Europe, an interior design professional encountered some compelling ceiling and wall treatments that require more close up, detailed work by her own team of designers. She actually collected an array of ideas for ceilings while traveling across Europe, in Japan and Thailand, and in Australia.
Because of the need for close up work, the interior design professional realized that her team would be on scaffolding for extended period of time. This prompted the designer to spend some time researching scaffold use and safety in home redecorating and home improvement projects. Her objective in her research was to learn how to make the best use of scaffold to ensure quality work and to ensure that scaffold safety issues were addressed fully.

This is a common language through which we can interact with the database. SQL is classified mainly into three categories.
1. DDL (Data Definition Language).
2. DML (Data Manipulation Language).
3. TCL (Transaction Control Language).
These commands are used to create, modify and delete database objects.
Alter: This command is used to modify the structure of the database objects.
Drop: This command is used to remove the objects from the database.
Truncate: Using this command we can permanently remove the rows from a table.
Here we cannot append any clauses to the Truncate statement.
Constraint restricts the values that the table can store.
We can declare integrity constraints at the table level or column level.
In column-level constraints the constraint type is specified after specifying the column datatype i.e., before the delimiting comma.
separate comma-delimited clauses after defining the columns.
If a column in a table is specified as Not Null, then it’s not possible to insert a null in such a column. It can be implemented with create and alter commands. When we implement the Not Null constraint with alter command there should not be any null values in the existing table.
The unique constraint doesn’t allow duplicate values in a column. If the unique constraint encompasses two or more columns, no two equal combinations are allowed. Note: There is a different behavior in the following Relational Databases.
MS SQL Server: In this, we can insert one Row with a Null value against the Unique Key constraint column.
Oracle: In this, we can insert any number of Rows with a Null value against the Unique Key constraint column. Please keep it in mind that two Null values are not equal.
Check constraint is used to restrict the values before inserting into a table.
The key column with which we can identify the entire Table is called as a primary key column. A primary key is a combination of a Unique and a Not Null constraint, it will not allow null and duplicate values. A table can have only one primary key. A primary key can be declared on two or more columns as a Composite Primary Key.
Columns defined as foreign keys refer the Primary Key of other tables. The Foreign Key “points” to a primary key of another table, guaranteeing that you can’t enter data into a table unless the referenced table has the data already which enforces the REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY. This column will take Null values.
Except Not Null constraint all other constraints can be given at both the column level and table level.
These commands are used to append, change or remove the data in a Table.
COIVIIVIIT/ROLLBACK statement should be given to make the changes permanent or to revert back.
Using this command we can append data into tables.
This command is used to modify the data existing in the tables.
This command is used to remove the data from the tables.
These command are used to maintain the consistency of the database.
This command is used to make the transaction permanent.
This command is used to undo the recent transaction.
This is used to rollback a transaction to a specified point.
encompasses two or more columns, no two equal combinations are allowed.
Note: There is a different behavior in the following Relational Databases.
Key constraint column. Please keep it in mind that two Null values are not equal.

I always say, “Don’t judge a tooth by its x-ray.” Also, don’t assume the worst. Give things a chance.
That’s how I practice endodontics. I never say “never”, and I always give teeth a chance. I won’t know if something is going to work until I try.
My philosophy served a recent patient well.
She came to me as an emergency case, experiencing lots of pressure and pain on a tooth that had already had a root canal. Usually, I try not to “meet and treat” my patients because I need time with them – they have questions that I want to answer. I like to make sure the patient understands their treatment and treatment options, and I want to make sure I am treating the right tooth.
Getting the patient to understand the why is key, and that takes communication, transparency, and patience.
However, if the patient’s pain is characterized by intense pressure and they are in tears, I reassess the situation and treat immediately. I know that their tooth is trying to drain, and I want to make that happen for them.
When a patient comes to me and their tooth already had a root canal, my protocol is to take not just x-rays but a cone beam as well.
Some dental professionals would have said that the cone beam was suggestive of a vertical root fracture… and that was possible, and most definitely a part of my differential diagnosis. But I could not be certain.
The x-ray imaging looked like the previous root canal had been done well. But since I had no history of the tooth and the patient didn’t remember any details, I had to keep in mind that it was possible that the tooth had a new bacterial infection that had nothing to do with a crack. It can be easy to blame pain and infections on cracks when treatment isn’t working, but bacteria is a more likely culprit.
There are so many variables I did not know about the initial treatment. Was a rubber dam used? Was full-strength sodium hypochlorite used? How long did it take the patient to get her crown?
I gave the patient her treatment options: retreatment with another root canal, or extraction with an implant. I explained to her that, even if she chose a second root canal, I could find a fracture in the tooth and it would still need to be extracted. She wanted me to try it anyway. Complete transparency before starting procedures is extremely important to me, and to my patients.
So, I opened the tooth to find black, black and black. I was so surprised to see the level of infection in the tooth. The gutta percha was so contaminated by infection that it turned black.
Once I removed the gutta percha, the infection started to drain. And THIS is the key to helping a patient feel better. Instant gratification for both me and my patient.
Diagnoses require putting together lots of clues.
I understand that there’s a learning curve to reading cone beam images, and they can be misinterpreted. Some would have thought to take this tooth out because of a possible fracture. If you’re not 100% definitive in the cause of root canal failure, then access the tooth for a visual assessment to be sure. Sometimes we don’t know the answer before going into the tooth. But if you prepare your patient for the potential outcomes, then you have given them the option to take the chance with you.
The cone beam for this patient did not look good, but if I had judged the tooth by its x-ray, I would have done a total disservice to this patient. It would’ve been a complete misdiagnosis.
I was lucky that the patient wanted to try and save the tooth. It was the right choice for her and her health.
Always be transparent with your patients. Give them all their options — and the “why” behind each option.
If you rely solely on an x-ray to diagnose, you can make the wrong choice. Use all the information and clues you have.
Be open to stepping outside your standard operating procedure if it allows you to better serve a patient… especially one who is in pain.
Thanks JM! I feel the same!
Mam so irrigation was at fault in this case?
Bacterial contamination is the etiology. I don’t know whether or not a rubber dam was used, nor how they instrumented or irrigated. These are things we may NEVER know on a retreat, so I just proceed knowing that bacteria needs to be eliminated.
Thank you Dr. – I’m glad we agree!
My main frustration with my Endodontist friends is when they tell me a tooth is fractured and hopeless, and I don’t agree. I am all for saving teeth. Sometimes I can see the reasoning behind the diagnosis, ie: difficult patient, questionable prognosis. It always pleases me when you do give the tooth a chance.
Hi Robert, I will be one of your Endodontist friends who agrees you can save a tooth!
I don’t think a difficult patient or a questionable prognosis should ever stop you. I think as long as you’re transparent with your patient and explain the possibilities, and then if they are still willing to try, then it’s worth the exploration.
He was correct. we just cannot see everything and sometimes we just get fooled. I once saw a 3rd molar with a PERFECT looking 3 canal obturation done by a specialist. It was absolutely killing the patient. Upon extraction, I saw that each canal had 2 to 3 mm gutta percha overfill- but it looked perfect on the X-ray.
Most of my patients would have opted for extraction due to the cost of retreatment. This person already had the cost of RCT and crown in this tooth.
Was this case one where there was a temporary filling inside the access opening and they never had it sealed permanently?
I love the 3 types of lies! In this case, there was no temporary filling, it was permanent buildup. But they didn’t place the buildup all the way down to the gutta percha.
Thank You for the case study.
Thinking outside the box after “ listening “ to the patient and what the tooth is trying to tell you is often missed in a hurried, fast paced practices. Every day in practice we have opportunities to do good for the patient and walk away feeling gratitude and happiness.
Keep up the good work Sonia !
Dr Sonia thank you for constant updates….
Your blog gives me constant check and support to what all I decide as treatment plan, which is almost same way you do to much extent.
I keep myself up just to read your blog and that gives me strength, support and confidence as many of my fellow Endodontist colleague here in India differs.
Thank you so much for reading Shanin! This is my mission – to help spread knowledge that we all need to practice better everyday!

Dr Geaccone takes pride in offering flawless tooth-colored dentistry. He offers patients fillings that will appear perfectly natural and match the rest of your smile.
Your customized treatment and custom dental restorations will be skillfully achieved with optimal aesthetics in mind. Dr Geaccone has 25 years experience and the expertise to guide you in choosing the most appropriate treatment for long lasting dental health and a beautiful smile.
If the wisdom tooth doesn’t have room to grow (Impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you will likely need to have it pulled. Dr Geaccone is very experienced in wisdom tooth extraction comfortably, painlessly. You will be in good hands.
Dr Geaccone shows personal interest in his patients. He is very knowledgeable and keeps you informed on everything he does and would like to do. He has great bedside manners and keeps things in layman's terms. I love the way he works. He and his staff are keepers.
Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning technique. Plaque and tartar are removed from beneath the gum tissues, using hand scalers and/or ultrasonic instruments to restore your gum health.
Porcelain crowns and bridges can be used if patients are missing teeth. Bridges are used to replace the teeth by closing the gaps in your mouth where teeth had previously been placed. Crowns are used in cases where teeth need to be strengthened due to previous damage. Crowns and bridges can be used in conjunction with each other or implemented separately.
Dr Geaccone uses the Simpli5 express teeth straightening system. Simpli5 is an express teeth aligner system that corrects minor imperfections you dislike in only 5-6 months! Simpli5 is ideal for the front 4-6 teeth that are visible when you smile, even if you had previous orthodontic treatment.
Dental night guards are the treatment of choice for patients who have a history of grinding their teeth while they sleep at night. Also known as bruxism. Chronic bruxism can lead to problems with teeth and jaw if left untreated. Most patients aren’t even aware they are doing it. Custom night guards made by your dentist will be the most beneficial for several reasons. To begin, custom night guards use an exact mold of your teeth. Dr Geaccone will also consider the exact alignment of your jaw during the fitting process to ensure your night guard won’t place any unnecessary stress on the joint which can lead to even more jaw pain. Lastly, custom made night guards usually last up to 10 years, making them cost efficient in the long run.

LDAP is widely used in webapplication for authorization .we have to set embedded weblogic LDAP server for setting up development enviroment.
First question we have – What is LDAP ?
LDAP is Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.LDAP is a protocol for accessing a directory. A directory contains objects; generally those related to users, groups, computers, printers and so on; company structure information (although frankly you can extend it and store anything in there).
LDAP gives you query methods to add, update and remove objects within a directory (and a bunch more, but those are the central ones).
WebLogic Server includes an embedded LDAP server that acts as the default security provider data store for the Default Authentication, Authorization, Credential Mapping, and Role Mapping providers.embedded LDAP server contains user, group, group membership, security role, security policy, and credential map information. By default, each WebLogic Server domain has an embedded LDAP server configured with the default values set for each type of information. The Default Authentication, Authorization, Credential Mapping, and Role Mapping providers use the embedded LDAP server as their data store.
Expand Domain > Security > Embedded LDAP.
– In the Credential field, enter the new credential.
– In the Confirm Credential field, enter the new credential again.
Hostname: Hostname of the WebLogic Server.
Port: WebLogic Admin Server port.
Base DN: This is the WebLogic domain name.
User DN: By default the Admin user DN is cn=Admin.
-Set the host field to localhost.
-Set the port field to 7001 (7002 if SSL is being used).
Set the Base DN field to dc=mydomain where mydomain is the name of the WebLogic Server domain you are using.
– Uncheck the Anonymous Bind option.
– Set the User DN field to cn=Admin.
– Set the Password field to the credential you specified in Step 2.
2 Click the new connection.
– Use the LDAP browser to navigate the hierarchy of the embedded LDAP server.
Now You can create users/groups .
For security purposes, administrator user name and password details are stored in secure files.Obtain the location of these secure files from your systems administrator or generate the secure files in weblogic.
How to do that. lets find it out.
I am working on portal and spaces application.For deploying spaces application in console ,i need a secure file.Following are the steps to generate.
1. Navigate to: ORACLE_HOME/common/bin in command prompt using CD command.
storeUserConfig(‘‘, ‘) Where userConfigFile is the name and location of the file storing user details and userKeyFile is the name and location of the file storing passwords.
Thats it. You can find the secure files in specified path.
Happy coding with Vinay in Techartifact…..
When JDeveloper 11g is installed, once you test your application in default server engine in JDev, JDeveloper will create a new domain “Default Domian” and use the default weblogic server to test the applications developed.
The defaut administrator (weblogic) password for Weblogic Server is “weblogic1”.
BTW, the default user and password is located in the boot.properties file under this folder: ../Application Data/JDeveloper/system11.1.1.1.33.53.92/DefaultDomain/servers/DefaultServer/security.

I think illegal immigrants are well, ‘illegal’. I run my own business so less corporate tax would help me. Obama’s health care and tax policies will hurt my bottom-line.

The probability, therefore, is, that the whole theory or doctrine of what is called the redemption was originally fabricated on purpose to bring forward and build all those secondary and pecuniary redemptions upon. I got a good idea. Of course you can stay.
The best way to see my home town is by ferry. Can he be trusted? That was the problem for me, too. My father bought some CDs for my birthday. If there's anything else you need, just let me know. Get me a drink. Hardly had she got in the bath when the postman knocked on the door with a parcel. I got a famous singer's autograph. The owls foretell the death. We can talk about this at home.
"Can you do it in a week?" "I think so." I wish I could've seen it up close. Doing business is really difficult. Everything is done by hand. The principal theme of the book is the American Revolution. She's just a bit nauseous. The higher he rose in social rank, the more modest he became. My boss called me down for frequent absence from work. His strength is waning. She's afraid of abandonment.
I thought this might happen. Mechael got his teeth whitened. His memory will live forever. Roy is secretive and Ted is candid. These are the only rules you need to remember. Maybe we ought to ask her. You should be very proud of Knute. What time tomorrow do you want to meet? We're back where we started. I suppose you'll let him go.
What are "kulasy"? It's an old word, it means "legs". I think it comes from the word meaning a person who can't walk: "lame". You tore your pants. She is HIV-infected. That's the reason we need to fight. My older sister is good at typing. A high level of testosterone will drive your red blood cell count up. A good idea presented itself. She is always finding fault with others. How do we help? Looking at you I understand that nature has sense of humor.

Bombshell Report – ICE Seizes Millions With Asset Forfeiture Laws | Cash Money Seized or Confiscated?
It was revealed last week in a bombshell report by The Intercept how the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) uses its Asset Forfeiture Handbook to seize millions in cash, real estate and other highly valuable property. Asset forfeiture includes the seizing of property through criminal forfeiture, which happens after the owner has been criminally convicted, and civil asset forfeiture, which does not require a criminal conviction or even charges to be filed.
The internal handbook that was obtained by the Intercept offers a very rare view into just how extensive the asset seizure operations are at HSI and ICE. The handbook shows that the primary focus of this department is on seizing and valuing property to fund future law enforcement operations, and less on fighting crime.
This two-tier asset seizure system, the 71-page Asset Forfeiture Handbook notes, can be used where the person has not been convicted of a crime, but also is not completely an innocent owner. Because of this, under criminal forfeiture, the owner of the property would be entitled to the property being returned. But under civil forfeiture, the owner loses his or her interest in the property to the US government. Thus, the handbook argues, the civil forfeiture proceeding is vital for ICE agents.
The handbook underscores the key role that asset seizures play in assisting federal agencies to fund law enforcement actions and covering costs that HSI does not have the money to fund. This handbook offers an excellent window into the asset forfeiture operations used by ICE, and the emphasis that is placed upon the agency seizing property of value.
According to the Intercept, the handbook does reflect ICE’s current guidance on asset forfeiture.
The handbook provides agents with several tips on how they can increase profits through the proper seizing of property. For example, the handbook states that agents should not waste time and resources confiscating what it calls ‘liabilities.’ The handbook in fact outlines general rules for asset forfeiture that can be summarized as follows: If the total costs and liabilities that are incurred in seizing property or business exceed the property’s value, it should not be seized.
For cases where there is not enough profit involved to justify the seizure and forfeiture, the property can still be taken if there is a valid law enforcement reason. In such cases, the handbook notes, the item’s value may be less important. This implies that the value of the property is of primary importance.
The handbook devotes a large number of pages to seizing real estate. This makes sense because many pieces of real estate are worth a lot of money, and can bring considerable revenue to the US Treasury. The manual states that agents should work with confidential informants, look at tax records and even get an interception warrant to see if a phone that is located on the property was used to talk about criminal activity.
This indicates that the primary consideration for seizing real estate is what the value of the property is. To perform more accurate real estate appraisals, the ICE handbook also teaches the agents how they can do more effective ‘post and walk’ property viewings. With a search warrant, ICE agents and a real estate appraiser can go through the property and document any items that may be an issue, or will deter the US government from seizing the property. The handbook notes that these post and walk viewings are often some of the most important parts of the forfeiture and seizure process.
The guidelines also tells agents that they should use commercial databases to look into the sales history and market conditions for where the property is located. The manual emphasizes that after the property has been seized, agents should walk the property through the process to ensure that the US government gets as much money as possible.
The leaked guidelines describe how asset forfeiture specialists are groomed within ICE and then are placed in field offices across the US. The specialists are called Asset Identification and Removal Group members. They are charged with appraising and identifying assets that may be seized during various investigations by HSI.
The handbook states that all AIRG agents must have a minimum of three years of experience. AIRGs are described as specialized and separate groups that are dedicated only to asset forfeiture. They should not be mixed with other agent groups or burdened with duties that are outside their specialty.
ICE carefully trains AIRG agents to input data about assets that the agency seized or is thinking about seizing into a database. The agents also will put their forfeiture numbers into another huge DHS database called TECS. This allows agents to look at the performance of different asset officers and give them scores for their work.
AIRG agents, the handbook states, are carefully evaluated by the quality and quantity of cases. Much of the guidelines are dedicated to seizing real estate because of the dollar values involved. It is these pages where it becomes clear that federal agencies have both financial and law enforcement objectives in the asset seizure process. Little information is given about how to use seized assets to fight crime, but there are long discussions about how agents should determine the value of property.
The guidelines of the ICE handbook seem to have helped the agency to increase its haul taken in through asset forfeiture. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports from 2003-2013 that the Department of Homeland Security agencies put in more than $3.6 billion to the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. In the last several years, revenue from forfeiture from ICE has been at least 50% or more of the revenues from forfeiture for DHS, the GAO reports.
ICE is best known for enforcing immigration law, which is mostly carried out by agents for the Enforcement and Removal Operations division. But the HSI component has a broad mandate and enforces more than 400 statutes that are focused on the nexus of international criminal organizations and cross border crime. HSI focuses largely on terrorism, counterfeit products, drug smuggling, and human trafficking.
HSI has over 6000 agents and 185 filed offices in the US and 63 cities overseas. It also has the second largest number of agents on the Joint Terrorism Task Forces run by the FBI. To fulfill many of its missions, HSI has access to intelligence and data systems that connect law enforcement at the federal level to the CIA, as well as the Defense Intelligence Agency at the Pentagon.
Each year, DHS and ICE are seizing millions of dollars through many investigations, including boats, cars, cash and homes. But Robert Don Gifford, who worked as an assistant US attorney for 10 years, told the Intercept that the handbook’s details of utilizing civil forfeiture when there is not a criminal indictment can be a highly problematic practice. It appears that the agency is seizing assets largely for the possibility of financial gain. But Gifford did note that he never saw this practice going on in any federal agency he ever worked in.
Gifford stated that a large chunk of HSI cases were targeting sellers of counterfeit products. Agents were hoping that these small scale counterfeiting busts would lead them to bigger counterfeiting operations. He noted that there were cases that he saw where the agents wanted to do small scale forfeitures that involved ‘mom and pop’ operations at small flea markets. But Gifford would not allow the agents to go after those people.
ICE apparently contributes an even larger proportion to what is called ‘equitable sharing.’ This is a program that allows state and local law enforcement to work with federal agencies and to forfeit property that has been seized under US law. During that period, DHS delivered $1.2 billion through the equitable sharing program to local and state agency partners. ICE accounted for a huge 90% of the equitable sharing payments.
However, some experts allege that equitable sharing involves many seizures that are improper and even abusive. For example, a case that was covered in detail by The Washington Post found that a church secretary had nearly $29,000 in member donations seized by police in Virginia. The man was never charged with a crime, but his cash that was seized was given to ICE and then was doled out under equitable sharing. The church secretary was able to recover the funds, but only after an ex-deputy chief for the Asset Forfeiture Office at the Department of Justice personally intervened.
In mid-2017, AG Jeff Sessions reversed one of the limits on equitable sharing, which was a ban on adoptions. A week later, the US Treasury Department did the same thing.
Still, many US lawmakers are strongly opposed to equitable sharing. In October 2017, the US House passed amendments that would take funds from the adoption program, as well as the forfeiture directive issued by Sessions. At the state level, seven states and CD have passed laws that reduce the ability of their agencies to participate in the equitable sharing program.
The Intercept has done a public service, according to some advocates, because it is showing how ICE uses asset forfeiture to enrich the US government as well as its state and local partners, and not all of these cases are entirely fair or proper.
The Treasury Department itself does not always handle asset forfeiture and cash seizure properly either. A recent report that details forfeiture transparency and accountability found that the US Treasury Department got an F because it did not disclose how seized property is tracked.
Interestingly, ICE and the US Customs and Border Protection agency tracks all seized property through a special forfeiture database known as the Seized Assets and Case Tracking System. This system has more than four million records. The Institute for Justice recently filed a request to gain access to the system, but the Border Protection agency would not allow it. The Institute filed a lawsuit that is still ongoing.
Advocates argue that the poor transparency that surrounds asset forfeiture at the federal level is highly troubling. Federal law enforcement sometimes abuses its power to talk cash and property from people and they are never even charged with a crime. The process to get the cash or property back is difficult and often expensive, as many average people cannot afford the legal help required to get justice.
In response to the report and handbook that was exposed, ICE has noted that it is not alone among federal departments that are reliant upon asset forfeiture to fund operations. According to ICE spokesperson Danielle Bennett, asset forfeiture is an important tool used by law enforcement, as it takes money and assets from large, criminal organizations. Asset forfeiture by ICE and other federal agencies is used as a sanction in many civil, administrative and criminal investigations.
But the leaked handbook authors seem to realize some of what they are doing is questionable. The handbook also acknowledges that civil asset forfeiture can be utilized by law enforcement to talk property from people even when there is not sufficient evidence for a criminal indictment. It states that there could be third party interest that can take precedence in a criminal case, but would not last long in a civil proceeding. This is what makes the civil proceeding so essential to asset forfeiture.
Until this handbook was leaked, HSI had managed to keep a very low profile, when compared to other federal agencies. The current presidential administration is focusing resources on deporting illegal immigrants, so the role of law enforcement and ICE is becoming more of a target for intense public debate. This has helped to pull HSI from the shadows. The handbook that the Intercept obtained has now shed much light onto how the department funds many of its investigations.

In addition to the ranges of Nylon and Aluminium plugs and Inflatable Stoppers, the HFT Pipestoppers® Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®, also manufactures a range of Steel plugs from 1.5" to 72" in diameter.
These plugs are typically suitable for more arduous duties such as long immersion in water and use at higher temperatures or for contact with acidic or alkaline environments for which the Nylon and Aluminium plugs might be unsuitable.
The plugs are merely inserted into the pipe and the wing nut tightened to force the top and bottom plates together, thereby expanding the rubber ring to seal tightly in the pipe. The patented Friction Free washer enables easy tightening of the wing nuts.
The Steel Plugs are manufactured with 1/2", 1" & 2" outlets.
2" outlet for 20" and greater diameters.
The standard seals are made from natural rubber although special rubber seals are available for applications which may need a greater chemical resistance and/or higher temperature tolerances.
All plugs conform to British Standards BS 8005 for low pressure testing and sealing of pipes.
In addition to the ranges of Nylon and Aluminium plugs and Inflatable Stoppers, the HFT Pipestoppers® Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®, also manufactures a range of Double Steel plugs for pressure testing and stopping all pipe work from 50mm (2") upwards.
A double seal can be even more effective for more arduous duties such as long immersion in water and use at higher temperatures or for contact with acidic or alkaline environments for which the Nylon and Aluminium plugs might be unsuitable. The test pressure capability of the single stoppers is limited and the double versions increase that capability, while offering a greater stability in the pipe. As single plugs approach their pressure limits, they can tend to tip over like a butterfly valve. The double plugs will prevent the tipping and guarantee the seal.
The Double Steel Plugs are manufactured with 1/2", 1" & 2" outlets.
As with the other steel, nylon and aluminium plugs the natural rubber seals can be exchanged for Silicon, Viton, Nitrile or other chemically and temperature resistant rubbers.
Double length plugs give greater stability in pipes and holes. The double length prevents them from tipping or "butterflying" and losing their seals.
The double length seal give greater protection against the leakage of hazardous fluids or gasses.
Some extra resistance against higher pressures is given, however like all plugs, they should be braced for safety purposes when gas pressure testing is employed.
