Illustration Student Displays Work in SUMA Exhibit
By Samantha Burfiend on May 02, 2017 in
Student Experience, College of Performing and Visual Arts
Hawaii native, Kiana Kamalu came to Southern Utah University with a desire to study English. After taking 2D Design on a whim, she ended up falling in love with the field of art. Now, as a senior studio arts major, Kamalu said she is amazed by the visual art department at SUU and is thankful for the community she has found.
Kamalu recently displayed a series of surreal digital portraits at the Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition in the Southern Utah Museum of Art. Kamalu has always been inspired by people; how they look, feel and interact with the world.
"No matter what I do, I have always drawn people and faces, and have continually found them fascinating," said Kamalu. "I'm also intrigued by making a portrait look more supernatural or slightly creepy."
For example, one of Kamalu's pieces showcases a man with glowing eyes and smoke surrounding him. Kamalu describes the piece as strange, and said those are the elements she really enjoys physically and digitally painting.
Kamalu said one of her favorite artists is Loish, an illustrator/animator who works with vibrant color palettes. She used those elements as inspiration to exaggerate the colors in her pieces.
Kamalu thinks her paintings represent some of her own emotions and personal journeys and is pleased to have been able to display them in the show. Kamalu said the project really pushed her out of her comfort zone. Before the project, all of her digital pieces felt a little unfinished, and she never really loved them. This was the first time she felt proud of herself and really put her ideas into action.
Professor Ben Sowards was her mentor for the BFA project. He helped her narrow down the kinds of pieces she wanted to create and helped her discover why she wanted to be an artist. Her art reflects that discovery.
"Ben Sowards has always been an inspiring teacher and inspiring artist to me and having him as a mentor was really exciting," said Kamalu. "His Digital Illustration class was also a huge step toward the paintings I finished for the show. Before that class I didn't understand at all how people painted with a computer, and learning those basic skills have definitely helped me advance to where I am now."
As for the future, Kamalu hopes to pursue something in the illustration field or in graphic design. Her ultimate goal is to find a successful job pertaining to art.

Commentary: State takeover of Houston schools is not on the level
By Zeph Capo
We all want the best for our kids, and we believe that strong neighborhood public schools should sit at the center of our communities and help prepare our kids academically, socially and emotionally. But officials at the Texas Education Agency are playing a very dangerous game that will affect kids' lives forever.
In a profoundly unbelievable decision, the state announced last month it will take over the entire Houston school district, the largest district in Texas, even though the schools have been showing remarkable progress. Either the TEA doesn't know what's actually happening on the ground hundreds of miles away or, more likely, it doesn't care because it is anxious to deliver Houston's 284 public schools to charter operators. If the state succeeds, other Texas school districts could be its next target.
The TEA has a poor track record on state takeovers and other interventions. Take the Marlin Independent School District, about 100 miles from Austin. In late 2016, the TEA replaced the district's board of trustees with state-appointed managers, who basically rubber-stamped the desires of the TEA. It's been nothing but failure ever since, including a revolving door of managers, the suspension of the latest superintendent and the revocation of Marlin's accreditation status for the 2018-19 year after failing state academic accountability standards. It could be TEA's next takeover target.
When the state's takeover of North Forest ISD didn't succeed, the district was folded into the Houston ISD, at a time when the Houston district had a higher number of "improvement-required" schools than it does now.
The state wants to take over two other small districts now — Shepherd ISD in East Texas and Snyder ISD in West Texas — and we're very concerned that it's not the right solution, especially given the state's inability to put in place an effective improvement plan.
The state's move is especially baffling because the state itself — not some outside group — just awarded the Houston public schools an academic accountability rating of 88: nearly an A. But to justify its long-held ideological desire to hand over the entire Houston district to charter and other private groups, the TEA is using the fact that one school was chronically underperforming as an excuse to take over the whole district.
The takeover is a deliberate attempt to silence the voices of Houstonians, who, just two days before the takeover announcement, acknowledged problems with the local school board and voted for new members who could better address the needs of the district's black and brown students. The seizure of the Houston ISD and school board violates democratic principles.
From the very beginning, the Houston takeover has been about a political, not an educational, agenda. Charter schools and other forms of privatized schools often are foisted on takeover districts. However, research shows that over the past 30 years and after more than 100 takeovers in districts across the country, state takeovers have failed to deliver in places such as Detroit, Newark (N.J.), Philadelphia and New Orleans. Millions of students and thousands of communities around the country have been victimized by aggressive state and federal intrusion into their local public education.
We must stand up for our democratic values, our students and what is best for our own community. If state officials were actually concerned about the well-being of Houston students —especially in schools that genuinely need help — they would provide funding for successful, effective programs with a strong track record to boost academic achievement, such as programs that counter the effects of poverty like health clinics, more social workers and guidance counselors, additional enrichment programs and smaller classes.
We won't allow Houston to join the long list of cities whose schools were left in shambles because of state bureaucrats who were more interested in ideology than community.
Capo is president of the Houston Federation of Teachers and Texas AFT.

WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says we won't control COVID-19
Oct 25, 2020 haiasi
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Sunday that the country is "not going to control the pandemic" — noting it is contagious like the flu and must be managed with therapeutics and vaccines.
"We're not going to control the pandemic. We are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigation efforts," Meadows said during a contentious interview with Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union."
"Why aren't we going to get to control the pandemic?" Tapper asked.
"Because it is a contagious virus just like the flu," Meadows responded, as the two went back and forth about President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence continuing to campaign after five members of Pence's staff testing positive.
"Let me just say this is what we need to do is make sure that we have the proper mitigation factors — whether it's therapies or vaccines or treatments — to make sure that people don't die from this," he said.
Mark Meadows: "We're not going to control the pandemic, we are going to control the fact that we get vaccines, therapeutics and other mitigations."
Jake Tapper: "Why aren't we going to get control of the pandemic?"
Meadows: "Because it is a contagious virus" #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/1ahyatu6co
— State of the Union (@CNNSotu) October 25, 2020
Meadows then went on to suggest that former Vice President Joe Biden wants to quarantine the country.
Tapper said, "nobody is saying that."
"They are. Joe Biden is saying that. He says, lock everybody down, we're going to have a dark winter," Meadows said.
But Tapper countered that's what health officials are warning will happen this winter as the number of cases surged in the Midwest.
Democrats quickly ripped Meadow's comment Sunday.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who has made the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic a main thrust of his campaign, said he was "stunned."
"This wasn't a slip by Meadows," Biden said in a statement. "It was a candid acknowledgement of what President Trump's strategy has clearly been from the beginning of this crisis: to wave the white flag of defeat and hope that by ignoring it, the virus would simply go away. It hasn't, and it won't."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, meanwhile, accused the administration of "surrender."
"He said we can't control the virus. That was a very telling statement, that he said that. … Flattening the curve is controlling the virus," Cuomo said Sunday at a coronavirus briefing.
Cuomo said the White House had "capitulated" to the pandemic.
"They surrendered. … It was the great American surrender. Americans don't surrender. And they didn't even put up a fight. What we learned in New York is, we put up a fight," he said.
"We can't control the virus — Trump's theory: pre-emptive capitulation. Don't even try. Just surrender pre-emptively. President Trump, commander in chief. Get attacked by an enemy and pre-emptively capitulate," the governor continued. "And now we have 217,000 people dead. They were wrong then, they're wrong now."
More than 222,000 Americans have died of the coronavirus, but fatality rates have sharply declined as treatments have improved.

i. Here is the basic plan for "Brafferton". The yard lines aren't sketched in yet, but I've incorporated that into the subsequent 3D model. Ultimately the layout will be circular, but to meet the Challenge Rules I've restricted the staging to keep the overall area within 9.42 sqft.
ii. I spent a day or so making a 1/8th scale 3D model to get a better understanding of how the layout might look. The "baseboards" actually represent how the real ones will be constructed.
iii. When modelling, I often do little doodles as below. These aren't necessarily accurate or used in the actual model making. However I use them as inspiration and to get ideas bouncing around.
I knew there'd be a reason....!
This looks good for the next NEAG Mini Meet.
Now when will that be...........?
Looks a really interesting idea, Tony, and quite possible to complete by 2010.
You might consider a hidden loop round the inside of the layout - that way you can use it for testing locos, or as a headshunt for the fiddle yard when you build the rest of the circle.
I saw a layout once where the whole of the outside was scenic and the fiddle yard was around the inside of the layout. Your layout is probably just too tight a radius for that, though.

Q: Unwanted "Sticky" Tint at NavBar after back segues I am getting a sticky solid tint underneath my VC1's navBar after I click back from VC2. On launch, I do not see this stickiness, only after clicking back. How do I remove this stickiness? Images as such.
NavBar in VC1 without stickiness, ie the white background stretches as I pull the navBar down:

NavBar in VC1 with stickiness, ie the white background does not stretch as I pull the navBar down

Code so far:
//At viewDidLoad() in VC1
navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .white

//At viewDidLoad() in VC2

navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
navigationController?.view.backgroundColor = .clear
navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .white
navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()

I have implemented like so in VC2 is because I have a mapView which I want to spread all the way up to the status bar.
Would anybody able to advice how do I remove the sticky tint such that the white tint stretches as I pull down the navBar in VC1?

A: The reason it happens on the back button is because the changes on the navigation bar made in VC2 also apply to the navigation bar of VC1.
You could try to fix it by moving the code to the viewWillAppear method and than adding the following lines to the VC1 code:
var navBarBackgroundImage: UIImage?
var navBarShadowImage: UIImage?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    navBarBackgroundImage = navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundImage(for: .default)
    navBarShadowImage = navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage
}

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    if let navBarBackgroundImage = navBarBackgroundImage {
        navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(navBarBackgroundImage, for: .default)
    }
    if let navBarShadowImage = navBarShadowImage {
        navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = navBarShadowImage
    }
    navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
    navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .white
}

VC2:
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
    navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
    navigationController?.view.backgroundColor = .clear
    navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .white
    navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
}

Welcome to the November issue in our series of monthly newsletters where we bring you industry insights using the NHS data to keep you updated on changes that affect you from a business point of view.
This month is Part One of a Two Part series which will focus you on strategic actions to ensure that you are making the most of your pharmacy business. These actions will help you to survive and thrive in the midst of continuing industry uncertainty.
In the NHS data just released to August, items for the month were up 1.4% compared to August the previous year (same number of trading days). The familiar trend of independents and independent multiples continuing to outperform the corporates, partially due to closures of branches by corporates.
The average MURs per branch done from April to August was 123. This was mainly led by the Corporates and Independent Multiples. Single pharmacies continue to struggle with NMS's, with an average of 6 done per pharmacy in August.
We are introducing this 20 point checklist that can be implemented with the help of excellent information over the next 1 - 3 years (depending where you are now). The first 10 points will be covered this month and the remainder next month. We understand that you will have implemented most or many of these already, but without quality information and efficient processes, we have seen these will be done inconsistently and quite a bit of money is left behind.
CD's - 28 days from start date.
ERD's - 365 days from the original start date.
EPSR2 - 180 days from start date.
Best practice is having all claimed within 3 months at the latest and within 2 weeks for the CD's.
The critical things to look at here are 'Dispense Notification Success' not done by the month end and claim notifications done by the 5th. There is a lot of money here at a time when cash flows are pressured. Typically, more than £2,000 of cash flow per branch is left behind at month end and by 5th of the month on EPS scripts that could have been claimed but have drifted into later months.
There are quite a few reasons why Patient exemptions do not automatically update the EPSR2 scripts. Therefore, having an easy way to identify which scripts have not been marked as exempt within the month is important to avoid an unnecessary cash loss. At a cost of £8.80 per Item this adds up to a lot quite quickly.
Previously dispensed at least twice but not in last 4 months in a particular branch and still dispensed in another of your branch(es).
Scanned stock figures not dispensed in last 4 months in a particular branch and still dispensed in another of your branch(es).
Whilst most pharmacies will do their allocation of MUR's, it is better that these are done as part of a regular and even routine over 12 months rather than altogether in February and March. There are lots of patients that previously have not had an MUR that would really benefit from one rather than continuously going back to the same MUR patients.
Both the Quality Payment Scheme and the Summary Care Records are services that can be tracked to ensure that full payment is achieved. In addition, flu vaccinations are very enthusiastically done by many branches and inconsistently in others – careful management can drive more profit.
We have noted that CCG's and LPC's contract pharmacies to do other ad-hoc services which can be worth as the national MUR and NMS services. Tools such as PharmOutcomes augmented by data driven decision making do a really good job to streamline this area.
9. Can hours be reduced?
For Pharmacies not on 100 hour contracts, looking at weekends and after 5pm openings is something to be carefully considered. We see many customers with sophisticated resourcing models with regard to hours needed, but a tool to review these every 6 months in line with changes in the business will deliver better results.
We are all human, so we struggle to work like machines in terms of consistency of how we operate. As a result, things will be left behind unless we can see dashboards/scorecards of where we stand in order to deal with the exceptions. Strong area management and quality information are indispensable to ensure that nothing is left behind.
It would be very useful to consider these as you formulate your plans for 2019. We will address the remaining 10 in more detail next month.
Should you like any clarifications, or if you'd like to explore any of these areas further please let me know.

The accolade will be the eighth Olivier for the renowned choreographer and theatre director, making him the joint holder of the most ever wins along with Dame Judi Dench.
Sir Matthew, 59, is known for revolutionising the dance world with his all-male production of Swan Lake in 1995 and for adding his balletic flair to Cameron Mackintosh musicals My Fair Lady and Oliver!.
Kenny Wax, president of the Society of London Theatre, said they are "delighted to acknowledge Matthew Bourne's extraordinary achievements in dance with this year's special Olivier Award.
Sir Matthew's award-winning work as artistic director of his first company Adventures in Motion Pictures, from 1987 until 2002, includes Spitfire, Nutcracker!, Highland Fling, Cinderella and The Car Man, as well as Swan Lake.
He then went on to launch dance company New Adventures in 2002, and has premiered productions Play Without Words, Edward Scissorhands, The Red Shoes and Sleeping Beauty.
For Swan Lake, Sir Matthew became the only British director to have won the Tony Award for both best choreographer and best director of a musical.
His Olivier Awards include best theatre choreographer in 2002 for his work on West End musical Mary Poppins, and the same prize in 2017 for The Red Shoes.
In 2001, Sir Matthew was awarded an OBE, and in 2016 he was knighted in the Queen's New Year Honours for services to dance.

Review : Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
In Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabel, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.
At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love—the light and the dark, the warm and the cold—in a way you will never forget.
--via Maggie Stiefvater's website
My Review: One word: GOOD, BUT...
So I was super excited when the sequel to Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver was released. Long before I even finished with Shiver I was anxious to read Linger. Unfortunately, I have to admit that after reading Linger I was a bit disappointed. The sequel seemed to lose the Sam and Grace element -- yes, they were still themselves but there really weren't any make-me-coo moments like in Shiver. But I rather enjoyed the whole bad-ass, ex-junkie Cole and misunderstood, snippy Isabel dynamic; I am very interested in seeing what path their relationship is going to take in the next book. Overall, Linger is a good book and I am still a faithful Wolves of Mercy Falls fan and fidgeting in my seat for the last book of the trilogy, Forever [2011].
Here is a couple of lines that I enjoyed from Linger:
Grace & Sam: "I wrote Get a job. He wrote Keep loving my job. I wrote Stay madly in love. He wrote Stay human.
'Because I'll always be madly in love,' he said, ..." -page 24

The indicator assesses the proportion of targeted institutions (such as schools, health centres, administration buildings, evacuation sites) with accessible improved sanitation facilities.
Q1: Is there a latrine at the institution?
Q2: Does the latrine have doors?
Q3: During normal working hours, is the latrine open and operating?
Q4 for data collectors: What type of latrine is available?
Q5 for data collectors: Are there separate latrines for women and men?
Q6 for data collectors: Is the latrine accessible for people with physical disabilities?
A facility can be considered as having "accessible improved sanitation facilities" if the responses to Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q5 (possibly also Q6) are YES and the response to Q4 is any of the first four options.
Calculate the indicator's value by dividing the number of facilities meeting these criteria by the total number of surveyed facilities and multiplying the result by 100.
1) In many countries, the relevant ministries or UNICEF defined a range of additional sanitation-related standards for schools, health centres and/ or other institutions. Consider including them in your intervention's design and M&E system.

Delhi Air Quality Worsens, Emergency Action Plan To Be Implemented From Monday
Delhi's air pollution is likely to become worse in the coming days.
A motorcyclist wearing a face mask drives along a road in New Delhi.
NEW DELHI — An emergency action plan will be implemented from Monday to combat air pollution that has begun to show a trend towards very poor category, the Central Pollution Control Board said.
Under the emergency plan called Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP), stringent actions are implemented based on the air quality of the city.
If the air quality lies in moderate to poor category- measures like stopping garbage burning in landfills and other places, and enforcing all pollution control regulations in brick kilns and industries would be implemented, an official official said.
If the air quality falls in the very poor category, additional measures of stopping use of diesel generator sets, enhancing parking fees 3-4 times and increasing frequency of metro and buses would be implemented, he added.
If the air quality falls in the severe category, additional measures would be implemented of increasing frequency of mechanised cleaning of roads, sprinkling of water on roads and identifying road stretches with high dust generation.
If the air quality falls to severe plus emergency category, then measures like stopping entry of trucks into Delhi (except essential commodities), stopping construction activities and appointment of task force to take decision on any additional steps, including shutting of schools, are implemented.
The measures depending upon the air quality will be implemented from Monday.
Currently the air quality is in the poor category but authorities have predicted that it would reach the 'very poor' category in the next couple of days.
In addition to GRAP, the CPCB has also deployed 41 teams across the Delhi NCR to monitor proper implementation of norms enforced to prevent pollution at the source.
Till October 11, 96 inspections were conducted by the teams across Delhi NCR and the inspections would intensify in the coming days, a senior CPCB official said.
The inspections was started by the two-member team on September 15, he added.
Meanwhile, satellite images from the NASA showed rampant stubble burning activity in Punjab and Haryana.
The NASA, on its official website, stated that burning of crop residue in Punjab and Haryana has increased significantly over the past 10 days in and near Amritsar, Ambala, Karnal, Sirsa and Hisar.
Burning of paddy straw every year during October and November and wheat straw during April in Punjab and Haryana are the major contributors of air pollution in Delhi-NCR, as the smoke travels towards the national capital.
In Delhi, it mixes with the fog and creates a toxic smoggy winter every year.

CHANDIGARH: In a joint operation, the Punjab Police and Special Operations Group (SoG) of Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday arrested three students to bust a terror module of Kashmiri terror outfit, Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH), in Jalandhar.
The joint team, which conducted a raid at the hostel early this morning, also recovered two weapons, including an Assault Rifle, as well as explosives from the hostel room of B. Tech (Civil) Student of second semester, Zahid Gulzar of Rajpora in Srinagar.
Zahid was detained along with Mohd Idriss Shah of Pulwama and Yusuf Rafiq Bhatt, also of Pulwama. Arora said the arrests followed the development and corroboration of various inputs about the presence and activities of certain militant organizations and individuals operating in J&K and Punjab.
A case under sections 121, 121-A, 120-B IPC, Arms Act, Explosive Act, and Unlawful Prevention Act has been registered in police station Sadar Jalandhar in this regard. Further investigations are in progress and the Punjab Police is working closely with J&K Police to unravel the entire conspiracy and network built by these outfits/individuals in Punjab and J&K, said Arora.
He said the busting of the terror module belonging to AGH, and the recovery of weapons in Jalandhar, was indicative of efforts by Pakistan's ISI to expand the arc of militancy on India's western border. It may be mentioned that Gazi Ahmad Malik was recently picked-up by Punjab Police from Banur near Patiala, (where he was studying in Aryans Group Polytechnic College).
It was learnt that Gazi was closely related to Adil Bashir Sheikh, a J&K Police SPO who had fled with 7 Rifles from the residence of PDP MLA house in Srinagar and was suspected to have joined Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, a militant group. He was later handed over to the J&K Police for further investigations.
They have jettisoned traditional Kashmiri identity.

Q: IOS - get notification and decide what to do I write some app that sends local notification with delay and when the notification received i want to decide what to do based on device movement.
if device is in move - set the same notification with new delay and stay in background.
if device not in move - pop specific view controller.
i do succeed with the "no drive" mode but when the device is in move - i don't really know hot to handle this situation.
here is my code for now, hope for some help
thanks!
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
    NSLog(@"Notification recieved from background...");
    //check if device is in move
    CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc]init];

    locationManager.delegate = self;
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyKilometer;
    locationManager.distanceFilter = 50;
    [locationManager startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges];

    if (locationManager.location.speed > 10) {
        NSLog(@"Device is in drive....");
        notification.fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:10];//TODO - Debug Set Real Time Before publish
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
        NSLog(@"New Notification sent to device");
        self.window.rootViewController = nil;
        [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    }
    else{
        NSLog(@"Device is not in drive....");
        UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle: nil];
        IGUViewFillDetailsController *vc = (IGUViewFillDetailsController *)[mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"IGUViewFillDetailsController"];
        vc.dic = notification.userInfo;
        UINavigationController *navVC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController: vc];
        self.window.rootViewController = vc;
        //[self.window addSubview:vc.view];

        [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    }

}

A: Problem1:
You scheduled a notification and it will show up at the fire date, you can cancel the notification 1 second before the fire date and schedule it again. Say you have this notification to be fired in 10 seconds, you use a NSTimer that will be fired in 9 second, in the selector of the timer you check if the user is moving or not, if he is moving, you cancel the notification and delay it by 10 seconds and schedule it again, remember you also have to update the timer to do the check before next fire date of new notification.
Problem2:
It is the default behaviour, iOS will take a snap shot before app enter background, and when app resign background, it will show this snap shot, you can add a empty view in applicationDidEnterBackground, then this empty view will show up before the wanted view.

Something new for everyone
What is the duration of orthodontics?
August 19, 2022 By Michael Simons Popular tips
Are braces obsolete?
Is being an orthodontist hard?
What percent of orthodontists are female?
The average amount of time for braces is between 1 and 3 years. But you may need them for a shorter or longer amount of time depending on your circumstances.
Do orthodontists do more than braces?
But, orthodontists today can offer their patients more than just traditional braces. Advances in technology, specifically in the field of the alignment of teeth or the repositioning of the jaws, have given orthodontists many treatment options and approaches to fix these common problems.
What is the future of braces?
Orthodontics Will Use 3-D Printing Clear aligners, like those used for Invisalign treatment, are becoming more and more popular. This form of treatment will likely utilize 3-D printing methods in the future and gain an even bigger edge over traditional metal braces.
The truth is, metal braces are not only far from obsolete, they actually offer some advantages over other orthodontic treatment options.
How many patients do orthodontists see a day?
Some orthodontists will see upwards of 90 or 100. I would say at our busiest will get up close to 80 but 65 is a good number that we can see everybody on time, deliver great service, and still get all the stuff done that we need to do.
What are some benefits of being an orthodontist?
The benefits package for an orthodontist typically includes health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans and paid vacation. The state with the highest number of orthodontists as of 2020 was Maryland, where earnings averaged more than $208,000.
With no breaks in the educational process, one can expect to finish school and be an orthodontist at around age 28-30. In reality, the process of becoming an orthodontist is actually more difficult than you might expect. There are both academic and financial hurdles that while manageable, need to be considered.
What are the benefits of being an orthodontist?
Which braces are the fastest?
Currently, clear aligners offer the fastest correction speed. For reference, Invisalign treatments can be finished in several months, whereas metal braces can take several years. It's not just clear aligners that offer speed. Another form of fast-correcting braces is self-ligating braces.
Board Certified Orthodontist Statistics By Gender Among Board Certified Orthodontists, 59.4% of them are women compared to 40.6% which are men.
What are the negatives of being an orthodontist?
Pressure and Risks. Beyond the years and expense of advanced training, orthodontists also deal with the stress of facing an unhappy patient or parent if the years of treatment don't result in the desired result. Also, days working in the mouths of patients wears on some as well.

Future perfect as family room revamped in 1990s Cavan home
When Anna and Chris Rudden and their two children Emily and Amelia moved into Chris's family home, they wanted to make it their own yet retain a sense of its past.
The picturesque town of Belturbet in Co Cavan is interior designer Arlene McIntyre's next stop in the series Designed for Life on Tuesday night as she meets the Ruddens in the riverside residence where Chris was born and raised.
Anna and Chris Rudden and their two children Emily and Amelia with Arlene McIntyre.
"My parents built the house around 1990, I think, and growing up, the house was so big — as a kid it was like being in a mansion; at one point, I remember playing football in the sitting room while it was being built," says Chris.
Chris's dad died in 2014 and Chris's mother Eileen decided to downsize. Chris and Anna bought the house when Eileen moved to a smaller house nearby.
The living room before the work was done.
Making design changes is hard for Anna when she knows the property has so much history and sentimental value for Eileen and Christopher.
Can this be done without treading on toes?
The fireplace in the living room before the makeover.
Anna and Chris want to take on the family home yet remain "super-sensitive" to the way it was before, notes Arlene.
The couple would like to start with the living room and their bedroom. In the living room, as Chris says, they like the coving, fireplace, and river view.
Arlene surveys the room and the first thing she notices is the amount of wasted or "dead" space.
"The challenge is to reclaim this and make it feel like it's one big space that's working together, reclaiming it back into your lives, with better seating and better storage," she says.
"I also think we could chat about introducing an area rug in there."
Arlene points out how rugs can define areas and "pull a room together".
"Plain rugs open a space and patterned rugs make a larger room feel more intimate," she says.
In the case of this room, she notes how rugs can be used to introduce light, as can paint.

Arlene is keen to make the room more "centred" by moving the fireplace and using joinery, as well as maximising the views to "bring the outside in.
Arlene also draws up a plan for the master bedroom, but the couple decide that their €10,000-€15,000 would be better used on focusing on one zone only and they opt for the living room.
The project involves relocating the fireplace, which Arlene believes drains the room of light. Arelene also introduces bright colours to the room.
The finished project ticks all boxes.
"Every bit of the room is being used," says Anna.
As for Chris's mother Eileen's verdict?
"This is a new start, it's lovely. I just can't believe it's the same room," she says.
"Well, I just hope you're as happy here as I was."
Pointing to the display of photographs she adds: "And Dad made it in as well."

LIVE updates from farmers' protest: anti-farm law uproar enters day 37
| Jan 1, 2021
The protests against the three farm laws hit the 37th on Friday, the first day of a new decade. The sixth round of talks took place between the government and farmers' unions on Wednesday, and the two sides reached consensus on two of the four issues raised by farmers. However, the stagnation continues in the two main demands: legal guarantee on the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the complete reversal of the contentious laws. However, as the meeting took place in a "positive" atmosphere and ended with a consensus on two demands, the peasant leaders postponed until January 4 their proposal for a demonstration of tractors against the laws. January is the date that the seventh round of talks will take place.

On Thursday, the 36th day of the uproar, Kerala became the first state to pass a resolution against the laws. Also on Thursday, a group of farmers, protesting on the Rajasthan-Haryana border, broke through police barricades and entered Haryana, even as the Haryana police fired tear gas shells and water cannons. Thousands of farmers, mainly from Punjab and Haryana, have been protesting at various borders in Delhi since November 26, demanding the repeal of what they describe as "black laws". They have repeatedly emphasized that they have come prepared for the "long road" and will not return until the laws are repealed.

This week at the test kitchen, I was more than a little distracted. Its right in the middle of midterm season, always a stressor, and it was the night of the first Red Sox World Series game. But I was able to put all that aside when I found out we were making cookies! Cookies, especially healthy ones like these, always make me feel a little better so I was excited to make these sweet treats.
This recipe is super easy to follow, and is made healthy both through its reduced sugar and butter content, and through the addition of whole wheat flour and dried cherries. One substitution that we found made the cookies more chocolatey was the use of regular chocolate chips instead of minis, as it made the flavor experience even more intense.
Tonight at the test kitchen it was special because we were making two recipes. While the cookies were baking, we got to experience what is like to create a new recipe on the fly with Chef Sasha Stein Meyerson. Sasha is a graduate from Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, and is also a first year grad student in the Nutrition program here at BU. She was tasked with creating a recipe to go with a dip from Cindy's Kitchen, which was a creamy dill flavored sauce. Sasha said that the first thing she does when making a recipe is gather all the ingredients that she thinks she might use, and spread them out in front of her.
She decided to make a baked zucchini stick, breaded with fresh herbs and whole wheat bread crumbs. We tried several combinations of herbs, and decided that the more the better and included cilantro, basil, parsley, and dill. These flavors really complemented the dip's creaminess, and made the flavor of the zucchini pop. One helpful tip she gave was the "wet hand/dry hand" method for breading: toss the zucchini sticks in flour and then egg with one hand, and then use your other hand to coat the sticks in the bread crumbs. This helps avoid breading your fingertips! Sadly, the final recipe still has to be recorded and sent to me but as soon as I receive it I will post it for all of our readers!
In addition to these two terrific snacks, we were also rewarded with a Red Sox win!!
Measure out the cherries into a bowl and cover with hot water. Let sit while mixing other ingredients.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; whisk together.
Place sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat until creamy.
Add vanilla and egg; beat well. Once combined, slowly add in the flour mixture while continuing to mix.
Drain cherries and add to batter, along with chocolate chips.
Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, or just until set. Cool on pan for a few minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on wire racks.

Metabolic and Ventilatory Changes During and After High-Frequency Yoga Breathing
Shirley Telles, Nilkamal Singh, Acharya Balkrishna
(Department of Yoga Research, Patanjali Research Foundation, Haridwar, India)
Med Sci Monit Basic Res 2015; 21:161-171
BACKGROUND: Practicing high-frequency yoga breathing (HFYB) induced a hypermetabolic state in a single subject during the practice but the effect has not been studied in multiple practitioners.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Healthy male volunteers (n=47, group mean age ±S.D., 23.2±4.1 years) were recruited as an experimental group and another twenty volunteers were recruited as a control group. The experimental group practiced either HFYB (Breath rate 1.0 Hz) or breath awareness (BAW) on two separate days. The sequence was reversed for alternate participants. The control group was assessed under similar conditions while sitting at ease. The breath rate (RR), tidal volume (VT), ventilation (VE), VO2, VCO2, arterial PCO2 and energy expenditure (EE Kcal/day) were assessed for 35 minutes using an open circuit oxygen consumption analyzer. The assessment period was divided into before, during and after conditions. Repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare data recorded during and after the two practices with data recorded before. Before-After comparisons in the control group were with paired t-tests.
RESULTS: The most relevant significant changes were increases in VE, VO2, VCO2 and EE during HFYB, while the same variables decreased during the control period. However after HFYB there was no change in VO2 or EE, although VE decreased as it did after the control period.
CONCLUSIONS: HFYB induces a hypermetabolic state for the duration of the practice which returns to baseline after HFYB suggesting a possible application for HFYB in hypometabolic states.

LIVERPOOL midfielder Jordan Henderson has taken to Twitter to tell fans: I'm not a Belieber!
The 22-year-old England international was pictured at the Liverpool Echo Arena in February watching teen pop sensation Justin Bieber.
But in a light-hearted 'AskHendo' Twitter session this morning hosted on the club's official account, Henderson snubbed suggestions he was a big Bieber fan.
The question of whether Henderson was a Belieber was asked by Liverpool fan Caroline Taylor and Henderson responded: "Obviously not! I took my little sister, I know it's an excuse but she wanted to go for her birthday so I said I would take her."
But Henderson added: "He has got a few good songs but I tend to keep that on the quiet."
The England U21 captain turned down an offer from one fan who wanted to be his £3,000-a-month car driver and said he would not be joining Twitter because he "just wants to play football". He also claimed team-mate Jose Enrique had the worst banter.
Henderson moved to Anfield in a big-money switch from Sunderland in 2011 and has scored four goals in 23 starts this season.


People have been using stones to send messages to themselves, their gods, and future generations for aeons. In the late 1970's I was wandering through the Plaka, the old village-like section of Athens just beneath the Acropolis. I came across a strange little store with a window full of stones with human faces and animal forms that seemed to emerge from beneath the stone's surface and were highlighted. I walked in to see what was happening in this unusual place. A haggard, middle-aged woman sat behind a glass counter and I asked her about the store and its stones. She told me that her son had been part of the student uprising against the Greek Colonel's regime at the Athens Polytechnic in November, 1973. Dozens of students occupying the University were murdered when the Colonels sent a tank and armed troops through the gates. The shopkeeper's son was one of the students killed by the Colonels' soldiers. She described falling into a prolonged, profound depression in the grief over her lost son. One day she noticed a stone on the ground and saw a face in it. She picked it up and started collecting stones in which she saw figures that she would highlight. She recounted how she slowly came back to life by seeing life in the stones. She decided to open the store to memorialize her son and tell her story. The store, the stones, the woman, the story all seemed improbably moving to me. She came back to life as she rediscovered life in seemingly inanimate matter.
This edition of ARAS Connections features two fine articles that are linked through the symbolic life of stones in the human imagination. Ruth Breuer has written a sensitive rendering of her experience with an artisan who has placed over 40,000 "stumble stones" in front of houses throughout Europe where Jews and others victims of the Holocaust had lived before being taken away and slaughtered in the concentration camps. These stones of remembrance are designed for people concretely to stumble over and, in losing their balance slightly, be reminded of the victims of the Holocaust who "fell" to the Nazis. Her article includes wonderful images of stones, paintings, and photographs as well as the story of the "stumble stone" that was placed at the last home of Jewish artist, Felix Nussbaum. It also includes Dr. Breuer's reflections on how the "cultural complex" of her own experience with the Nazi regime and its victims has come alive in her psyche and in her analytic practice. Ruth Breuer was born in Germany in 1940, displaced several times during the war years, and later went to university in Munich as a young woman. She became intensely committed to bridge building in Europe and took a job in Brussels as an interpreter/translator in the early efforts to build a European Economic Community. She later became a Jungian analyst in Brussels, Belgium where she lives and practices. This article was submitted as part of the invitation to all our readers to submit material related to images and cultural complexes.
The second, remarkable contribution to our "stone edition" of ARAS Connections is from Joel Weishaus who, at various stages in his life, has been Literary Editor of U.C. Berkeley's student newspaper in the 1960's, a sculptor, art critic, curator, and writer. What brings him to ARAS Connections is his amazing work on stones. In "Splitting the Stone: Toward a Lithopoetics" he quotes alchemist Gerhard Dorn: "Transform yourselves from dead stones into living philosophical stones." This might be said of the grieving woman I met in the Plaka, although I doubt if she would describe herself as "philosophical"--but she certainly transformed herself from a dead stone into a living person. In this ARAS Connections, we are featuring Joel Weishaus' "The Lost Way of Stones". It is a highly original creation in which Weishaus uses the literary tool of "invagination" to combine his insights with those of others in an elaborate poetic reflection on the nature of rock painting. Each reference to the work of others is carefully documented in his notes, but seamlessly integrated into his poetics and images of rock paintings.
We hope you enjoy this edition of ARAS Connections as much as we did in putting it together.

As we are moving into a new season and sending you the Fall issue of ARAS Connections I am happy to announce a new project, connected to this archive of archetypal images. We are calling it the Poetry Portal, which will be introduced here by Ellen Liberatori, our consultant at ARAS. She helps us to develop fundraising skills that are so necessary these days. Another part of her life is writing poetry, and she will bring this passion to our poetry project in her collaboration with ARAS. There is a close affinity between visual image and poetry, each in its own way expressing that which cannot be said. A poem is like an image in words through its use of metaphor, a word from the Greek meaning "carry across". When we are moved by an image - be it in visual or poetic form – something has changed and we are in a new place. Ellen will introduce us to an ancient technique called Ekphrasis, inviting you to write a poem about an archetypal image as a dialogue between the two art forms. Come and enter the portal to see what is found there.
On a quarterly basis in ARAS Connections we will host the Poetry Portal and introduce an image along with an "Invite to Write", whereby you can conjure, create and submit the poem that is inspired as you engage with the image. We will select and publish some of the poems you submit in the following issue along with a new image and invitation to enter the Portal. We hope the metaphor of a portal will help guide spirit, art, and psyche to new places of creativity.
The Poetry Portal can be a realm, a channel, a path, and an exploration that has infinite possibilities. In my working with ARAS over the last year, I recalled that there was a form of poetry called the Ekphrasis poem where image and writing coexist. Poets, writers, painters and artists come together and create something anew.
"Ekphrasis" or "ecphrasis" comes from the Greek ek and phrasis, meaning 'out' and 'speak' respectively, and the verb ekphrazein, to proclaim or call an inanimate object by name. In ancient times it referred to a poetic description of a thing, person, or experience. Modern ekphrastic poems have used a work of art as inspiration and generally shrugged off antiquity's obsession with elaborate description, and instead have tried to interpret, inhabit, confront, and speak to their subjects.
In his Ars Poetica (13 BC) the Roman poet Horace wrote his dictum "ut pictura poesis" (as is painting, so is poetry) and since then the two art forms have been linked in the critical mind. Poets and painters sometimes turn to one another for inspiration, and the dialogue has been mutually beneficial. In celebration of this great union, we will host the opportunity for writers and poets to join ARAS by contributing a poem to what we are calling the Poetry Portal.
See an example and this issue's Invite to Write!.
"It involves pain, work and discovery".
My aim is to present the concept of a cultural complex. We will see that while this is a new concept within the theoretical corpus of analytical psychology according to Jung, it is one that anthropologists and ethnologists are familiar with. I hope to demonstrate the usefulness of the concept in the clinical work of Jungian analysis.
Above all, however, I wish to share a personal experience which will show how both the individual and the group identity of each one of us is formed by cultural complexes which cause pain, entail work and can eventually lead to a discovery.
Hearing these words, I know that the work which I commissioned from him has meaning for him as well, and that our gesture, which belongs to all who have taken part, is right and just.
This is the culmination of a story which began on my birthday in 2011, although it had been building inside me ever since chance dictated that I should be born into my particular family and cultural group.
As a birthday present, Parisian friends gave me the catalogue of the Felix Nussbaum exhibition at the Musée d'art et d'histoire du judaïsme de Paris (2010/2011) which had excited great interest in France and Belgium.
Although I knew his work, I did not know the life story of the artist. I discovered that Felix Nussbaum, a German Jewish painter born in 1904, went into exile in Belgium with his Polish-Jewish companion Felka Platek, herself a painter; that they got married in Brussels in 1937 and were deported to Auschwitz via the Dossin military barracks at Mechelen (Flanders); that they were in the last convoy to leave Belgium and were murdered at Auschwitz in early August 1944. Felix Nussbaum had recently turned forty. A few weeks later, Belgium was liberated. I was taken aback to discover also that for many years I had passed almost daily in front of the last house they had lived in. They lived there in hiding until they were denounced. The house at 22 rue Archimède, in Bruxelles-Ville, lies half-way between my own home and Schuman Square, where the headquarters of our new Europe, a key player on the international stage and keeper of the peace between 27 European democratic countries, is now located.
Read Stumble Stones: Mourning and Memory – The Cultural Complex, A Testimony in its entirety.
Polychrome and monochrome pictographs were painted onto sandstone and pectroglyphs were tapped into dark basalt, art and nature exchanging minerals and patinas of meaning. Archaeologists argue over interpretation, but like the Philosopher's Stone, which does not "allow itself to be held in meaning,"(3) there is no single resolution, only turning and re-turning.
During the thousands of years before being rediscovered, cave art was protected because the caves, arduous to negotiate, weren't lived in, but probably accessed only for special occasions, such as initiations into the numinous world. What was perhaps the most sacred art was made in the deepest interior. Eventually abandoned and forgotten, their entrances were hidden behind foliage and debris.
On the other hand, the hoped-for purpose, the sacred task, of painting was to tune in to the invisible—rather in the same manner an anatomical diagram tunes in to the invisible functioning of a living body. And why did the cave artist want to do this? Because rock art is continuously exposed to weathering, and protected from vandalism only by the difficulty of reaching it. Archaeologist Paul Bahn writes that "it was the process of journeying to a location and leaving an image there which counted, rather than the image itself, its appearance, degree of completeness, or durability."(5) However, I would argue that the journey taken and the efficiency of the images made are entangled.
So this is where I arrived, knowing that this place is not a unique place, but that all places are inclusive of countless other places.
In the following text, the page is a panel, the relationship between writer and reader is open to communication, and the artist works in a self-reflective environment of meditation, research and redaction.
The Lost Way of Stones seeks to contribute to rock art studies what, because of specialization, most archaeologists cannot. Proceeding from the assumption that all honest endeavors add to our knowledge of who we are, thus, who we may someday be, this work can only begin to explore the vast range of research and scholarship being generated in rock art studies and accordant fields.


Have you ever seen some aspect of another person's house and thought "I have to have that for my house!" ?
If so, you're certainly not alone. This sensation has even developed its own cultural reference called "Keeping Up With the Joneses". While no one is really sure where the original reference came from, we've been racing to make our homes and lifestyles comparative to their theoretical residential style leadership for over a hundred years. Whenever you see a landscaping design you'd like to top, a kitchen cabinet idea you want to remodel to achieve, or a shiny new car in someone else's driveway you'd love to drive, that feeling you get is the 'keeping up' phenomena we all experience.
But the one thing that almost always catches people off guard is when we see a beautifully done garage. Garages are supposed to be dirty, messy, and supported by a cracking old concrete floor. They're supposed to hold piles of boxes you never finished unpacking or a few half-repaired bicycles in the corner near the jumper cables and half a can of paint from your last remodel project. And yet, every now and then you see a neighbor's garage doors roll up to reveal a beautifully designed little auto shop and a mesmerizingly smooth and shiny garage floor. It's amazing how much difference a simple floor coating can achieve in one fell swipe of the roller.
A garage with a smooth coated floor looks more like an indoor space fit for people, recreation, and shop projects rather than a glorified carport. In fact, because the coating seals away the porous, easily damaged and hard to clean nature of raw concrete, it even makes your garage easier to insulate and turn into a truly comfortable indoor area that's also durable enough to drive your car on.
If you have recently seen an incredibly well-finished garage floor and can't help but long for one of your own, the opportunity is right there waiting for you. All you have to do is clear out your garage and call your local garage floor coating specialists. Coating a raw concrete garage floor is different from reinstalling interior floors because here you're putting together a special formula that will bond with the concrete, flex with it over the seasons, and form a smooth consistent coat that's safe for both cars and people. We highly suggest choosing polyurea coating which forms a smooth yet slightly rubbery seal over your concrete to prevent cracks and ensure a shiny beautiful garage door for many years in the future.
The best part about coating your garage floor is how easy it is to keep clean and safe for family members of all ages. A coated garage floor is less likely to have chips, cracks, and damage that could cause you to trip or stumble while working in the shop. The smooth surface means that spills of even dangerous substances like chemicals or gasoline can be quickly and easily cleaned up. when you're just sorting and organizing, a sealed floor is also safer for the children and traversing barefoot if you left your shoes inside because there are no cracks to cut feet and no old questionable puddles where gas or chemicals could have seeped directly into the concrete. You can even set up a safe play area for the kids where Kool-aid spills can't do any damage.
If you're looking for the perfect solution to turn your garage into a classy and well-designed indoor-outdoor area, polyurea garage floor coating should be your first go-to solution. Whether you saw that enviable garage floor coating in a neighbor's garage, while visiting a friend, or got the idea from watching home improvement television, let us welcome you to the wonderful world of having a nicely coated garage floor. For more information about keeping up with the Joneses with a beautiful garage floor coating for your home, contact us today!

Masimo announces expanded partnership with Shenzhen Mindray for SET®
Category: #health By Paroma Bhattacharya Date: 2019-05-15
With the invention of Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®), Masimo has established a new standard for pulse oximetry by presenting the ability to measure through motion and low perfusion.
The U.S. based medical device manufacturing company Masimo has reportedly announced that it has signed a purchase and license agreement with Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd. to leverage Mindray's SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximetry – noninvasive, incessant measurement of oxygen saturation (SpO2), perfusion index (Pi), and pulse rate (PR), – in monitoring devices.
Reportedly, the devices by Mindray which are equipped with SET® will be now available in select countries in the Middle East, Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Asia-Pacific (excluding China), including Australia, India, and Russia.
With the invention of Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®), Masimo has established a new standard for pulse oximetry by presenting the ability to measure through motion and low perfusion. SET® has presented the highest sensitivity and specificity in detecting desaturation events and preventing false desaturation events during these conditions in a study which compared multiple pulse oximetry technologies.
SET® has reportedly launched latest frontiers in monitoring of patients during challenging conditions: outcome studies have shown that SET®, aided with clinical assessment, has facilitated clinicians to reduce retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in neonates, improve critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screening in infants, and reduce ICU transfers and rapid response team activations by continuously monitoring patients in post-surgical wards. Among all the studies, more than 100 independent and objective studies have demonstrated that SET® surpasses other pulse oximetry technologies. Masimo has continuously improved SET®, and recently announced that SpO2 precision specifications have now enhanced to 1.5 percent in conditions of motion and no motion for adult, pediatric, and newborn patients, weighing less than 3 kg, with RD SET™ sensors.
The advantages of Masimo SET® are now available to clinicians leveraging devices of Mindray in several countries outside the U.S., where Mindray has provided SET® pulse oximetry in devices from Datascope since acquiring it in the year 2008.

My art is a creative exploration into limitless boundaries of art mediums and subject matter. As an artist of many talents, I evolve on a constant basis. I am not limited to one style and or format but rather inventive original work like the coin framed photos on canvas, the mirror art glass on canvas, etc.
