As winter storms overwhelmed Texas, many incarcerated people in the state went days without heat and water, making already grim conditions behind bars even more intolerable for thousands of people. Officials say 33 prisons across the state lost power and 20 had water shortages after the state's electrical grid failed. Staff shortages compounded the problems, and some incarcerated people report not being provided with blankets to keep warm in their freezing cells and being served inedible food. "Texas prison conditions have gone from bad to dire," says Marshall Project reporter Keri Blakinger. "Prisons didn't really have the sort of infrastructure going into all of this that many people do in the free world."

AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now! The Quarantine Report. I'm Amy Goodman, with Juan González, as we look now at the dire conditions incarcerated people in Texas faced as they were left for days in their cells, often with no heat or running water, during last week's winter storm that overwhelmed Texas's deregulated energy grid.
At the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Kaley Johnson reported more than a thousand women held there finally got heat Friday, after nearly six days of freezing, though the Bureau of Prisons disputed this. One prisoner told The Intercept sewage water was everywhere in the facility, which has also been hit hard by COVID-19 and houses whistleblower Reality Winner, who tested positive for COVID in July.
Reports are also emerging from immigrant jails of solitary confinement cells with no heat. Texans locked up in city and county jails, accused of crimes but awaiting trial, unable to post bond, also suffered. This is Brandy S., who is jailed in Bowie County, describing conditions there in a call recorded Thursday by the Texas Jail Project.
BRANDY S.: We are not receiving any tissue. I'm in a pod of 19 women. They came up here and gave us three rolls yesterday. Well, haven't given us any soap since two weeks ago almost. Laundry has not came at all, and we're completely out of pads. We've had water, but the heat in our particular dorm has been out for days. The only way that we are regulating our temperature is, the dorms that are beside, their heat, I guess, is working, and it's like filtering over through the bars into ours. But it has been cold. They give us two blankets when we get here, but they have not offered us any extra blankets since the weather hit.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Brandy S., jailed in Bowie County. In Houston, at the Harris County Jail, the third-largest jail in the United States, at least one man was reported dead last week as men shivered in overcrowded cells, many sleeping on the floor next to overflowing toilets. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez described the jail last month as, quote, "bursting at the seams." And this was last month, before the storm. He had already warned of a potential health crisis. Across Texas, officials said 33 prisons lost power, 20 had water shortages.
For an update on all of this, we go to Houston, where we're joined by Keri Blakinger, staff writer for The Marshall Project, the publication's first formerly incarcerated reporter. Her latest piece is headlined "Inside Frigid Texas Prisons: Broken Toilets, Disgusting Food, Few Blankets." In it, she shows several photos of the kind of food prisoners have been forced to eat and describes the, quote, "increasingly pitiful meals, including one that was nothing but a small piece of cornbread, a half a piece of cheese, a handful of raisins and a hot dog with no bun or ketchup"
Keri, welcome back to Democracy Now! Describe what took place over this last week.
KERI BLAKINGER: Well, Texas prison conditions have gone from bad to pretty dire, I would say, in dozens of units. For some prisoners, I think this is a little bit like Harvey all over again. But the problems are probably more — well, definitely more widespread this time.
You know, once the power started going out in the free world, we started seeing this happening in prisons, as well. Prisons didn't really have the sort of infrastructure, going into all of this, that many people do in the free world. So, we are seeing places that already had trouble heating things adequately. You know, there's been long-standing issues with a lack of air conditioning in the summers, and every winter we hear these same complaints about lack of heat or very uneven heat, because, in a lot of cases, even if the heat is working, the ductwork is shoddy and old, so it simply just doesn't get anywhere. And that's all before a storm.
So, then you have a storm. You lose electricity in several units. You lose water or water pressure in several units. You have overflowing toilets. You have — you know, I was hearing reports of units where they have four toilets to a hundred-some men, and on a good day that's not enough, and then those toilets don't work. And, you know, the conditions get bad pretty quickly. We heard about men taking snow from the roofs to try to flush the toilets, but, of course, there's just not enough snow to deal with thousands of men.
And then, you know, there's the food on top of that. As you mentioned, I've gotten some pictures of what the meals look like. And, you know, they're clearly just not enough to support grown people. And these are meals that are not your daily prison fare. This is what happens when there are lockdowns, because the food tends to get worse during lockdowns. They're given bagged meals. And, you know, when there's not enough staff to help coordinate these things, these bagged meals end up looking sadder and sadder. And it's just clearly not adequate.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And, Keri, what kind of oversight or minimum requirements are there by state officials on these prisons? For instance, are there any requirements for them to have emergency generators or backup systems in case of power failures?
KERI BLAKINGER: I don't know if there's a legal requirement for it. There's not as much oversight, in some ways, regarding prisons as there are regarding jails. The oversight for prisons just sort of falls to the agency and to state legislators.
But the fact of the matter is that we have roughly a hundred prisons, and that is expensive. So, we have a lot of infrastructure and equipment problems. We don't have working fire alarms in most prisons. Like, when we do have generators, which, you know, they do have generators, they don't always go on as planned. And even if they do, the ductwork is problematic at best. So, it's not so much that these things don't exist as that they are often just not functional.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And in terms of the situation in county jails, are you familiar or have a sense of what's been going on there?
KERI BLAKINGER: Yeah. So, in Harris County, which is where I live, this is the, you know, biggest jail. There's about 9,000 people in the jail there. You know, we're hearing a lot of these same, fairly dire complaints.
But here, I think it's worth noting that the sheriff has been — you know, he's been out and saying that this jail was going to be a problem. Like, he has been trying to get the population reduced and has been having issues with the judges and the state and prosecutors, trying to work with them or work against them, whatever the case may be —
AMY GOODMAN: I mean, he sued, didn't he, Keri?
KERI BLAKINGER: — to try to get the population down.
AMY GOODMAN: He sued to get the population reduced, the sheriff.
KERI BLAKINGER: He has been vocal about this before COVID and during COVID. And, you know, I think he'd be the first to say that — well, he has been the first to say that this is a problem.
And, you know, one thing also about the jail here is that they actually managed to get some people vaccinated as a result of this, which I thought was — I mean, I would say a silver lining, but it's such a bad situation, I hate to say that. But they actually managed to get around 900 people vaccinated with vaccines that would have gone bad because of the loss of refrigeration when electricity went out elsewhere. So, that's something that I haven't heard happening else — in other jails or prisons, people getting vaccinated as a result of the power outages. But I think it does show sort of where the sheriff's interests lie in terms of advocating for the people in his jail.
AMY GOODMAN: Is it true — we heard Carswell, the federal prison where Reality Winner is, they actually didn't lose electricity but didn't want to turn on the heat, so that it wouldn't be said that only prisoners get heat in Texas?
KERI BLAKINGER: I haven't gotten any indication that that was true. You know, I've heard plenty of complaints about the conditions, that I've checked out — you know, families and friends and lawyers of people who were in there. You know, the thing is, if you turn off the heat — like, the staff has an incentive not to turn off the heat, because then they have to work in those conditions. What I have heard is that it took a while for the heat to be functional enough to make much difference and that there were places in the facility where the conditions varied quite a lot. Like, some places in the facility had longer power outages than others. So, I don't — I haven't gotten any confirmation about that.
AMY GOODMAN: Keri Blakinger, we want to thank you for being with us and for your reporting with The Marshall Project. We will link to your latest piece, "Inside Frigid Texas Prisons: Broken Toilets, Disgusting Food, Few Blankets."
And tune in tomorrow to Democracy Now! as we remember the pioneering science-fiction writer Octavia Butler, who died 15 years ago this week. She gave one of her last interviews to Democracy Now! in 2005. I'm Amy Goodman, with Juan González. Stay safe.

De Stichting Edmond Delhougne te Roermond is een stichting met als doel het bevorderen van de genealogie en streekgeschiedenis, in het bijzonder die van Nederlands Limburg en Belgisch Limburg.

Geschiedenis
De stichting werd in 1957 opgericht als Instituut voor Genealogie en Streekgeschiedenis door Edmond Delhougne (jr.) (1932-2013). Delhougne was van jongs af aan al met genealogie bezig. Al tijdens zijn studie rechtsgeschiedenis in Nijmegen stelde hij zijn eerste genealogische boeken samen en gaf hij deze uit. Om het instituut met het oog op de toekomst juridisch vorm te geven bracht hij dit in 1960 onder in een stichting met gelijke naam. Sinds de oprichting heeft de stichting een grote collectie opgebouwd met uitgaven op dit gebied. Van vrijwel alle parochies uit Nederlands Limburg zijn afschriften van kerkregisters aanwezig. Ook het aangrenzende deel van Belgisch Limburg is vertegenwoordigd.

Publicaties over talloze families, in het bijzonder Limburgse, hebben een plaats in de bibliotheek verworven. Tevens beheert de stichting een grote collectie bidprentjes (circa 1 miljoen) die voortdurend aangevuld wordt. Daarnaast heeft het instituut een verzameling ansichtkaarten en foto's van Roermond. Tegenwoordig (2020) is de omvangrijke collectie, aangevuld met legaten van meerdere genealogen, ondergebracht in een pand gelegen aan de Pierre Cuypersstraat 17-19 te Roermond. Na het overlijden van de oprichter is de naam van de stichting in 2016 gewijzigd in Stichting Edmond Delhougne. Medewerkers van de stichting verrichten genealogisch en historisch onderzoek. Daarnaast ondersteunen en stimuleren zij onderzoek en publicaties van derden.

In september 2021 heeft de Stichting Edmond Delhougne een duurzaam partnerschap met de Universiteit Antwerpen gesloten om de expertise in genealogie te koppelen aan de huidige revolutie in de genetica en biomedische wetenschappen. Deze uitdaging wordt op academisch niveau gerealiseerd samen met genetisch genealoog prof dr. Maarten Larmuseau van de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven en Universiteit Antwerpen als onderdeel van de vakgroep erfgoedstudie.

Minimaal eens in de vijf jaar wordt de Edmond Delhougne penning uitgereikt. Deze is bestemd voor een persoon, die een bijzondere bijdrage heeft geleverd aan de ontwikkeling van de promotie van de genealogie in de Nederlandse en Belgische provincie Limburg.

So this is the first time I've been here but i thought i would try it out. I feel so weak, and i would get these random bursts of strength(only way i can really describe it) but they would fade after a while and i would be back to my usual self. I left home and completely started my life over which is exactly what i needed and its been about 3 years now and other than cutting people out of my life that needed to go and a better relationship with my mother, I'm still the same weak naive little girl. I am a huge push over when it comes to my friends and tend to drop everything and anything going on with me to help my friends but don't feel like my friends do the same for me. I want to make my family proud of me but they keep saying that I'm just selfish and lazy and don't really care about them so maybe what I'm showing isn't what I'm feeling. I know my family loves me but I wish instead of always telling what I'm doing wrong , they would encourage me more but that isn't really the egyptian way and I've told them many times about this but it doesn't help. Of course there is also the girly feeling of wanting to meet someone especially since all my friends younger and my age are getting engaged, married or even having children and i don't have close guy friend. Honestly I haven't been going to church or praying as much lately just because i feel my heart isn't in it and my faith is diminishing. I know that my life isn't all bad, i have a lot of blessings in my life thank God but they are hard to see sometimes. I know when i get like this i start doing stupid things that i end up regretting lately so thats why i thought i would try just kind of putting my heart out there and seeing what everyone thinks. I don't even know what i need to do, i just know i need help. Any advice?
I pray for you kaf25. Women like to share, so it makes life hard in what should be shared and what shouldn't. My opinion as a male is that you need to find what you really want in life and out of life. It is something that will make you feel complete.
I also pray you find a good man and are able to look after him. That is to be faithful to him, not betraying him to satan by the things in this world. That is part of the problem you have now is that the people you know do betray you by bringing you into the world when God will let you be yourself.
Have you talked to tasoni about your problem?
when you say weak, do you refer to lack of motivation/spiritual weakness or do you physically feel weak?
From the physical point of view, it could be helpful to get some blood tests to check your thyroid function etc. because that can affect your energy levels and your mood.
Check your diet also and may be buy some vitamin supplements.
It is good to talk about it. Talk to God, talk to a counselor. It will help you think things through and lighten the chip on your shoulder.
Rely on God alone. don't rely on a human. Not even your best friend. For you will surely be disappointed sooner or later.

Former Harambee Stars midfielder Jamal 'Malo' Mohammed has been handed a 15-month sentence after he was found guilty of selling and promoting shisha and being in possession of bhang.
Mohammed, who is remembered by many Kenyan football fans for his silky runs and deft touches during his heyday, could however walk free if he pays an alternative fine of Sh60,000.
Citizen Digital has reported that the court established that the retired footballer was arrested on November 3, 2018, in Eastleigh Nairobi in possession of three rolls of bhang.
He was also accused of promoting and selling shisha, a substance banned in Kenya, after he was also found with 25 pots.
This is not the first time Mohammed has had a run-in with the law.
In July 2015, a lawyer accused him of assault and recorded a statement at Parklands Police Station.
The incident reportedly happened at Woodvale Grove in Westlands.
According to the lawyer's statement, Jamal, while driving a black Toyota Mark X, blocked his car by parking in front of him.
When the lawyer asked him to clear the way for him, the ex-footballer allegedly came out of his car and beat him up in an attack that left the complainant without a tooth.
Jamal turned out for Mathare United in the Kenyan Premier League, but also enjoyed stints in Sweden, Romania and Oman during his playing days.

This week I want to celebrate scrapbooking. I'm going to do a series of posts related to scrapbooking. We're even going to have a small giveaway.
If you had told me ten years ago that I would be totally in love with scrapbooking I would have laughed in your face. Scrapbooking scared me. I can be creative in some things, but I know my limitations, and scrapbooking was one of them.
I was always very careful about printing up all the pictures we took. In fact, I usually printed doubles so I would have some to give away to family. I sometimes wrote a brief description on the back of the photo and then put them all in albums. This was my limitation.
Then my sister gave my mom a scrapbooking kit. I knew this was a good fit for my mom. She is very creative and enjoys taking pictures so I knew this would enjoy this hobby. She loved it and started right in. Over time she found Creative Memories – a scrapbooking company – and decided to become a consultant with them.
She was so enthusiastic about her new hobby and trying to get others to join her that she decided to give me an album. She knew I wasn't very receptive to the idea of traditional scrapbooking so she gave me Creative Memories' version of a pocket album. And the rest as they say is history.
Some of our scrapbooks – They don't all look pretty, but it's what is inside that counts!
But scrapbooking has become so much more than paper scrapbooking in this computer age. You can now do digital scrapbooking as well. I have to say that I. love. digital. scrapbooking. I could do it all day long and am always looking for an excuse to do another book.
I'm very sad when I see all the photos on social media and realize how few are being printed. Our children will not have books to hold filled with memories of their childhood. Preserving these memories does not have to be hard. There are simple ways, and my hope is that I can inspire someone this week to start doing something more with their photos than just sharing them on social media. Save them in a more permanent form for the pleasure of your family.
A typical activity in our home – looking at a scrapbook together.
How do you preserve your photos?

Google buys more buildings in Silicon Valley
PUBLISHED: September 23, 2013 at 10:09 a.m. | UPDATED: August 12, 2016 at 11:53 a.m.
MOUNTAIN VIEW — Google (GOOG) over the last few weeks has struck deals to rent or buy more than 1 million square feet of offices in Santa Clara County, including the purchase of several Mountain View buildings in recent days, extending a stunning expansion by the Internet giant.
This square footage would suffice to contain 4,600 to 5,800 Google employees, based on an estimate of one employee for every 200 to 250 square feet of space.
"We haven't seen this kind of growth in a Bay Area tech company before," said Tom Foremski, editor of Silicon Valley Watch, an online site that tracks technology trends in the Bay Area.
In the most recent set of deals, Google paid $246 million to buy seven buildings in Mountain View that total 235,000 square feet. The Internet company paid cash for the properties, Santa Clara County property records show. Google didn't return calls about the purchases, which were all officially recorded with Santa Clara County.
Earlier in the month, Mountain View-based Google confirmed it had leased a big Sunnyvale building, also totaling 235,000 square feet, near the corner of 11th Avenue and Innovation Way. And in mid-August, Google leased a 500,000-square-foot Mountain View campus at 100 Mayfield Road near San Antonio Road.
Together, the various realty deals total 1.16 million square feet in a roughly one-month period. In 2010, a Securities and Exchange Commission filing stated that Google at that time occupied about 4.2 million square feet at its Mountain View headquarters. That could soon grow: Google is busy with tenant improvements for a move into 715,000 square feet in Sunnyvale, which could put its current South Bay footprint in the range of 5 million square feet, enough for 20,000 to 25,000 employees in Mountain View and Sunnyvale.
"Google is in very-high-growth mode, obviously," said Phil Mahoney, a Cornish & Carey executive vice president who has handled several major leasing deals on behalf of property owners that were leasing offices to Google in Santa Clara County. "They have to put their employees somewhere."
The only other huge spurt of Silicon Valley growth that experts recalled in recent decades was the big-time growth by Cisco (CSCO) Networks in the past. But that occurred over a much longer period of time than the current Google boom, which began about two years ago with the company's expansion into Sunnyvale for the first time.
By comparison, Facebook's headquarters campus in Menlo Park also totals 1 million square feet, but that complex represents nearly all of the social-networking giant's Bay Area operations. For Google, 1 million square feet, while considerable, would still be only a portion of the company's current or future office space.
Google is still planning a major campus at the NASA Ames research center near the company's headquarters that would total 1 million square feet.
Over the last two years, Google has leased, bought or is actively planning to develop more than 3.1 million square feet of offices in Mountain View and Sunnyvale — enough space for 12,000 to 16,000 employees. That includes the yet-to-be-built campus on the NASA Ames site.
"Google's growth is unique," said Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Campbell-based Creative Strategies, a market research firm. "The Google search-engine business that's tied to their ads is growing exponentially. Their mobile is growing fast. They need much more staff to code, market and manage what they are doing in advertising, and more offices for those employees."

The answer to one of our oldest jokes, "How do porcupines do it?" "Veeery carefully!" is not quite true. The truth is more bizarre than dangerous. Females are receptive for a few hours a year. As summer approaches, young females become nervous and then excited. Next, they go off their food, stick close by males, and mope. [Blogger's note: The previous two sentences sound a lot like the behavior of teenage girls, doesn't it?] Meanwhile, the male becomes aggressive with other males and begins a period of carefully every place the female of his choice urinates, smelling her all over. This is a tremendous aphrodisiac. While she is sulking by his side, he brings to "sing." When he is ready to make love, the female runs away if she is not ready. If she's in the mood, they both rear up and face each other, belly to belly. Then males spray their ladies with a tremendous stream of urine, soaked their loved one from head to foot – the stream can shoot as far as seven feet. If they're not ready, females respond by 1) objecting verbally, 2) hitting with front paws like boxers, 3) trying to bite, 4) shaking off the urine. When ready, they accept the bath. This routine can go on for weeks. Six months after the beginning of courtship, the female will accept any male she has been close to. The spines and quills of both go relaxed and flat, and the male enters from behind. Mating continues until the male is worn out. Every time he tries to stop, the female wants to continue. If he has given up, she chooses another partner, only now she acts out the male role… It is advised never to stand close to a cage that contains courting porcupines.
So not only is it interesting to read about golden showers in the animal kingdom, but also very practical wisdom for those who hang out near porcupines in captivity. As an aside, one might also take this advice to heart when dealing with hippos, as female hippos attract male hippos by peeing and shitting in a pile, then twirling its tail to spread it far and wide.

In net for Miami was Emalee Wills making 23 saves on 24 shots on goal. The Redhawk offense put up 37 shots on goal.

Michigan State answered back to start the second as Maddie Wolsmann soared the puck into the net, unassisted. Minnesota wasted no time in taking back the lead, and keeping it throughout the rest of the second. Wolsmann found Kelsey Jaeckle, who put the Spartans back on even ground with the Gophers in the third. But once again, Minnesota found open net to go back up by one. With a 3-2 lead in favor of the Gophers, Sherine Diffendal sent a slapper on net to make it 3-3 with five minutes left in the third.

Kathryn Hamer made 33 saves on 37 shots on net while Michigan State threw 31 shots on the Minnesota netminder.
To begin the second game in the exhibition series, the Spartan's jumped out into the lead first after a Kelsey Cross goal 12:00 into play.

While on the powerplay just two minutes later, Jaeckle found the back of the net herself after a pass from Ashley Astor, now 3-1.

A one goal game, still in the second period, until Lauren Larson lit the lamp to give the Spartans a healthier lead going into the third period.

Q: addClass after animate not working with jquery addClass after animate not working properly with jquery.
When I click on a button I am trying to bring the banner from the bottom up and when the user clicks again, it will go back to the bottom and hide away.
below is the code I have so far.
The first part works, but the second part it doesn't slide down.. simply goes away instead.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

$(document).ready(function() {

  $("#projs").click(function() {
    if ($("#projList").hasClass('hideAway')) {
      $("#projList").removeClass('hideAway').animate({
        bottom: '25%'
      });
    } else {
      $("#projList").animate({
        bottom: '0'
      }).addClass('hideAway'); //.addClass('hideAway');
    }

  });

});
.hideAway {
  visibility: hidden;
}

<input type="button" id="projs" value="Some Projects" style="border:none;border: 2px solid #e7e7e7;"></input>

jsfiddle link

A: You must add class after finish animation.
$("#projList").animate({bottom:'0%'},function(){$(this).addClass('hideAway')})

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#projs").click(function(){
    if($("#projList").hasClass('hideAway'))
      $("#projList").removeClass('hideAway').animate({bottom: '20%'});
    else
      $("#projList").animate({bottom:'0%'},function(){$(this).addClass('hideAway')})
  });
});
.hideAway {
    visibility:hidden;
}

<input type="button" id="projs" value="Some Projects" style="border:none;border: 2px solid #e7e7e7;"></input>

Note: Use of Full page for see result.

A: It's because even though you chained the events, they don't get executed synchronously. jQuery starts an animation in one "thread" and in the other, sets the hiddenAway class. So the animation is overriden. To get around this, just add a delay.
$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#projs").click(function() {
        if ($("#projList").hasClass('hideAway')) {
            $("#projList").removeClass('hideAway').animate({
                bottom: '25%'
            });
        } else {
            $("#projList").animate({
                bottom: '0'
            })
            setTimeout(function() {
                $("#projList").addClass('hideAway');
            }, 300) //.addClass('hideAway');
        }

    });
});

**EDIT: **
Ehsan's answer is probably more appropriate, so you dont need to know the animation time. His answer works by providing a callback function that jQuery will apply when the animation is complete. Here it is as a full function:
$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#projs").click(function() {
        if ($("#projList").hasClass('hideAway')) {
            $("#projList").removeClass('hideAway').animate({
                bottom: '25%'
            });
        } else {
            $("#projList").animate(
                {
                    bottom: '0'
                },
                function() {
                    $("#projList").addClass('hideAway');
                }
            );
        }

    });

});

A: you can use the call back function of animate for this purpose

 $(document).ready(function() {
   $("#projs").click(function() {
     if ($("#projList").hasClass('hideAway')) {
       $("#projList").removeClass('hideAway').animate({
         bottom: '25%'
       });
     }
      else {
       $('#projList').animate({
         bottom: "0%"
       }, 800, function() {
         $(this).addClass('hideAway');
       });
     }
   });
 });
.hideAway {
    visibility:hidden;
}

<input type="button" id="projs" value="Some Projects" style="border:none;border: 2px solid #e7e7e7;"></input>

A: You could minimize your code by implementing below:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#projs").click(function() {
    $("#projList").slideToggle().css("bottom", "25%").toggleClass("hideAway");
  });
});
.hideAway {
  display: none;
}

<input type="button" id="projs" value="Some Projects" style="border:none;border: 2px solid #e7e7e7;"></input>

A: It doesn't work as expected because the functions chained behind doesn't wait before executing. They are all executed together and do not waiting until previous function finish executing.
You can utilise the callback function in .animate.
The last parameter of jQuery's .animate is the callback function.
A callback function will execute after the parent function has finished its execution.
jsFiddle here.

$(document).ready(function() {

  $("#projs").click(function() {
    if ($("#projList").hasClass('hideAway')) {
      $("#projList").removeClass('hideAway').animate({
        bottom: '25%'
      });
    } else {
      $("#projList").animate({bottom: '0'}, function(){
        $(this).addClass('hideAway');
      });
    }

  });

});
.hideAway {
  visibility: hidden;
}

<input type="button" id="projs" value="Some Projects" style="border:none;border: 2px solid #e7e7e7;"></input>

Q: Custom React Dropdown Would like to implement similira to react-bootstrap Dropdown where I can set Dropdown.Header and Dropdown.Body to any React.ReactNode. What currently have is this:
import { useState } from "react";

interface DropdownProps {
  children: React.ReactNode | React.ReactNode[];
}

export const Dropdown = ({ children }: DropdownProps) => {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

  return
{children}
;
};

interface HeaderProps {
  children: React.ReactNode | React.ReactNode[];
}

export const Header = ({ children }: HeaderProps) => {
  return
{children}
;
};

interface BodyProps {
  children: React.ReactNode | React.ReactNode[];
}

export const Body = ({ children }: BodyProps) => {
  return
{children}
;
};

var _default = Object.assign(Dropdown, {
  Header,
  Body,
});

export default _default;

It can be used like this:
return (
<Dropdown>
  <Dropdown.Header>
    <Image
      alt="LanguageImage"
      size="small"
      src={require(`../assets/images/languages/${userLanguage}.png`)}
    />
  </Dropdown.Header>
  <Dropdown.Body>
    {Object.entries(LanguageOptions).map(([id, name]) => {
      return (

          <Image
            key={id}
            data-language={id}
            onClick={handleLanguageChange}
            alt="LanguageImage"
            size="small"
            title={name}
            src={require(`../assets/images/languages/${id}.png`)}
          />

      );
    })}
  </Dropdown.Body>
</Dropdown>

My problem is that I cannot hide Dropdown.Body based on isOpen since it is completly different component. Do you have any suggestions how can I rework this to be as expected?

A: You have to define a context for the dropdown state
interface DropdownContextProps {
  isOpen: boolean;
  setIsOpen: Dispatch<SetStateAction<boolean>>;
}

const DropdownContext = createContext({} as DropdownContextProps);

And define a provider for all the children components on Dropdown
export const Dropdown = ({ children }: DropdownProps) => {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

  return (
    <DropdownContext.Provider value={{ isOpen, setIsOpen }}>

{children}

    </DropdownContext.Provider>
  );
};

Here's a sandbox as an example

Cutting bone and treatment time?
A range of techniques geared at reducing orthodontic treatment time has been proposed in recent years. The most popular are the use of vibratory stimulation, lasers and even surgery. The surgical options vary from minor flapless procedures to more involved surgery. For example, bone grafting and corticotomy. Researchers have published several prospective studies (and an even higher number of systematic reviews) on these approaches. Most studies point to no apparent benefit with limited consideration being given to harms, or patient experiences and views.
I have to preface this post by stating that I have a slightly wizened (and perhaps incorrect) view of surgical adjuncts. I believe that the potential risk and impact outweighs the benefit. It appears that significant acceleration may necessitate a degree of intervention that I would rather not subject my patients to. At the same time, the less invasive approaches may need to be repeated more often than either my patient, their parents or I would wish. I have not used surgical acceleration for many years. I would need some convincing that this is the right thing to do even on an individual basis, let alone as a blanket approach.
A team from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia did this study. The Angle Orthodontist published the paper. The authors aimed to assess the effect of piezocision on the rate and nature of en-masse retraction following removal of maxillary premolars. They also considered possible adverse effects of piezocision, including root resorption and pain experience.
Effect of piezocision corticotomy on en-masse retraction: A randomized controlled trial.
Authors: Abdulkarim A. Hatrom; Khalid H. Zawawi; Reem M. Al-Ali; Hanadi M. Sabban; Talal M. Zahid; Ghassan A. Al-Turki; Ali H. Hassan
Angle Orthod. 2020. doi: 10.2319/092719-615.1
What did they do?
They did a two-group parallel randomised controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation as follows:
Participants: Class II division 1 with mild maxillary arch crowding or a well-aligned upper arch. Subjects were aged from 16 to 26 years with excellent periodontal support and health
Intervention: They made vertical incisions below the buccal interdental papillae using a scalpel under local anaesthetic. They then used a piezo surgical knife to create cortical alveolar incisions to a depth of about 3mm. Extractions were performed simultaneously with corticotomy undertaken in all extraction socket walls. They also removed bone distal to the canine root with a piezotome. Finally, they advised Paracetamol (500 mg) 6-hourly for 2 days following the procedure.
Control: They removed maxillary first premolars only. It is unclear as to whether they recommended analgesia.
Primary outcome: Space closure over 4 months
Secondary outcomes: Incisor inclination and root length changes after 4 months of space closure, and pain experience up to 2 days following either extractions only or extractions allied to piezocision corticotomy.
They analysed data from twenty-three participants. This included 11 in the piezocision group and 12 controls. They used a sealed envelope system to conceal group allocation with data analysts blinded to group allocation. Mini-implants were placed in the maxillary second premolar-first molar region at the outset in both groups to facilitate maximum retraction of the maxillary anteriors. They started space closure one week after the extractions in both groups on an 0.018x 0.025-inch SS base wire with NiTi closing coils used to apply 250g of force bilaterally. They did not report the data collection intervals; however, the analysis was undertaken based on records obtained at 4 months, including repeat CBCT scans and digital models.
What did they find?
They found that more efficient incisor retraction and space closure for the piezocision group. Specifically, incisor retraction of 4.8mm was observed in the piezocision group with 50% less (2.4mm) arising in the control group (P< 0.001). Surprisingly, they found less root resorption on several teeth in the piezocision group. Finally, they reported that the pain scores were higher over the first 24 hours in the piezocision group; however, no differences were observed after that.
What did I think?
This was an ambitious study. They did this study carefully with efforts made to minimise bias by carrying out robust randomisation and allocation procedures and blinding of assessors. The magnitude of space closure overall (0.6 to 1.2mm per month) was generally in keeping with similar studies that have not involved the use of adjunctive surgery.
They reported a sample size calculation; however, they did this post-hoc using generic effect sizes. As a result, it is less meaningful. Furthermore, the sample size is very small, indeed. The authors suggest that the numbers analysed were sufficient to highlight clinically relevant differences in treatment time. While this may be the case (and significant results were indeed obtained), higher numbers would help make the findings more credible by offsetting the effects of individual variation and other confounders. Furthermore, a larger sample would have permitted the use of more detailed statistical analyses to account for the possible confounding effects of age variation (as both adolescents and adults were included) as well as variation in other important variables including vertical skeletal dimensions.
I struggled to see the value of taking repeated CBCT scans at such short time intervals (4 months). I also doubt that they could make such firm conclusions can be made concerning root resorption at such an early stage in treatment, particularly with low numbers of participants. In terms of the pain experience, they measured this for both groups following premolar extraction (allied to the piezocision in the intervention group). It is, therefore, not possible to pinpoint the effect of the surgery, in isolation. It would be intuitive to expect that the surgical procedure would lead to more pain, and this effect might have been more apparent had extractions not been performed simultaneously in both groups.
Clinical aspects of the trial
From a clinical perspective, I was a little surprised to see force levels as high as 250g per side recommended for space closure as 150g is ample in previous studies. It is essential to highlight that the surgical procedure also involved the removal of bone distal to the root of the canine; as such, the method used was more invasive than isolated piezocision. As a result, any effect of piezocision may have been amplified by the resulting reduction in boney resistance.
What can we conclude?
Based on a very small sample, the use of piezocision allied to local bone removal may accelerate space closure for up to 4 months. However, because of the limitations above, I don't think we can be confident of this. As such, I continue to feel that the benefit of surgery in terms of reducing treatment time is unclear. The effect of surgery on patient experiences also requires more attention. Orthodontics is a relatively benign process. Our patients like it that way; indeed, it may explain much of our success as a speciality. For now, at least, I intend to keep it that way.

Bone anchored Class II treatment: Is this possible or necessary?
Summary of functional appliance treatment for Class II malocclusion
Orthodontic treatment improves quality of life!
I believe the preface to this post clearly explains the conclusions that were reached. Although this study and many other studies like it report minimal patient discomfort and few negative side effects, the author's unenthusiastic view on surgical intervention is very pervasive throughout the review. One example would be dismissing the fact that the treatment group saw twice (twice!) as much tooth movement as the controls. Yes, the sample size was small, but it is almost impossible to attribute that magnitude of difference to individual variation or other cofounders, especially when it is backed by the findings of many similar studies.
The reason I say this is because I believe it hurts our search for scientific truths about an intervention that could potentially reap significant benefits for our patients. We shouldn't try to minimize important findings just because we don't utilize or believe in the modalities being studied.
Having undergone full flap corticotomies and orthodontic treatment myself, I can personally attest to the amazing benefits and relatively minimal discomfort associated with the procedure. I have also worked with a practice that has treated hundreds of these patients, most of which recommend the surgical intervention to friends or family members following treatment. Although the author is correct that "orthodontics is a relatively benign process" and "most patients like it that way", you might be surprised by how many adults would choose a few days of discomfort to finish treatment 30-60% faster with superior outcomes.
That being said, there is still much research to be done on these procedures. I think it would serve us and our patients best if we didn't hinder the search for scientific truths with negative bias and unfounded opinions. Instead of using qualifying statements to dismiss every positive finding, we should use these findings to build upon the foundation of evidence already available to us.
