The Observational Physician and surGEon Automobile Response (TOP GEAR) survey
Melissa Ellis, Michelle Sun, Megan Wood and WengOnn Chan
Med J Aust 2018; 209 (11): . || doi: 10.5694/mja18.00890
Objective: To determine whether surgeons and junior doctors intending to pursue careers in surgery are more likely to purchase more expensive vehicles and to replace them sooner than colleagues of similar seniority pursuing non-surgical careers.
Design and setting: Survey of practising medical officers at an Australian tertiary referral hospital.
Main outcome measures: Car value; proportion of doctors who bought their car new; median time to replacement of vehicle.
Results: 154 doctors participated in the survey (17% response rate). 49% were interns, residents or unaccredited registrars, 18% were accredited registrars or fellows, and 31% were consultants; 40% of respondents were surgical trainees or consultants. 59% of surgical trainees and consultants purchased their car new, compared with 38% of non-surgical doctors (P = 0.013); 52% of doctors in the junior surgeon group purchased their car new, compared with 28% of non-surgeon junior doctors (P = 0.019). Median car value was $16 500 (IQR, $9350–37 000) for surgeons and $8500 (IQR, $4400–14 100) for non-surgeons (P < 0.001); 30% of surgeons owned cars valued at more than $50 000, compared with 6% of non-surgeons (P = 0.025). The median time to replacement was 5–7 years for surgeons and 7–10 years for non-surgeons (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Surgeons more frequently purchase their cars new and replace their cars earlier than non-surgeons, and the median value of their vehicles is higher. These findings were consistent across all levels of seniority.

Hi, I am Raymond. I picked up psychology after my banking career as a personal interest. Mindfulness is something I practice daily!
John Kabat-Zinn developed the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program. This stress reduction program became the basis of mindfulness. Zendel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale expanded on it. Mindfulness can resolve psychological issues if you become aware of things in the present. Focusing on the past and future isn't useful in becoming aware. By using mindfulness, you can deal with stressors and distressing feelings, and implement an accepting mindset instead of an avoiding attitude.
"Help you become aware of your thoughts and bodily sensations. So you will become better in the managing day to day emotions and problems."
Similarly, the mindfulness therapist's role is to help establish a daily mindfulness practice. The therapist will help you become more aware of the unhelpfulness of some of your thoughts and feelings. The most common disorders wherein mindfulness therapy is used include anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and mood disorders.
Step 7: How can I best take care of myself?
My sleep problems were my excuse to follow a course in mindfulness. I wanted to put all these thoughts running through my head to rest. That worked! Being a better sleeper doesn't mean I'm always at peace with myself, but I have noticed that when I am restless I now have tools to deal with this feeling of restlessness. I have also learned to my take my body seriously. Through the course I followed, I rediscovered and reinterpreted my body. I have also learned that you don't always have to dwell on thoughts; I had become unaware that I had formed this habit.
Mindfulness gives me tranquillity, but even more, I learned that mindfulness means that my view on living has changed. It helps me better deal with what comes on my path, and it helps me connect with myself and others. This was a surprise for me.
Do you think there's a place for Mindfulness in helping people deal with mental health problems?
Mindfulness is most straightforward to understand from its opposite: living life on autopilot. In the kitchen, while driving, at work—just think about how often you run on routine while your mind busies itself with the past and future. We all know from experience what it means to be "fully present." That is when we watch a breathtaking sunset, listen to beautiful music, or have another intense experience. Our mind is quiet; we are all ears and eyes. We savor the richness of the moment.
The Mindfulness Approach is thriving and still growing. Mindfulness training is offered to people who suffer from stress or just want to add more peace and harmony to their busy lives. Mindfulness training leads to stress reduction as a result of training attention.
In the training, you practice paying attention. You practice being present at this moment in time without thoughts about the past or worrying about the future. Jon Kabat-Zinn, the American founder of the mindfulness training, defines it as "consciously present in the here and now, without judging."
Mindfulness is useful both in a "normal" population and in therapeutic settings. It provides a higher quality of life. It brings about positive changes in cognitive and neurobiological functioning. Mindfulness also transforms the way people look at themselves and the world. It influences the way they respond. This ensures that mindfulness helps with a wide variety of problems. It brings about positive changes in a lot of different conditions. Sometimes, it proves to be even superior to other methods of treatment of specific problems.
"Mindfulness means being aware of how you're deploying your attention and making decisions about it, and not letting the tweet or the buzzing of your BlackBerry call your attention."
Neuroscientists Richard Davidson and Amishi Jha join clinical mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn to explore the role of consciousness in mental and physical health, how we can train the mind to become more flexible and adaptable, and what cutting-edge neuroscience is revealing about the transformation of consciousness through mindfulness and contemplative practice.
With all responsibilities an average person has to take on today, it can be easy to become overwhelmed. If you find yourself rushing through the day or trying to do several things at once, it is easy for things to get lost in the cracks. When you forget something or things don't turn out the way you want this can add to the stress you are feeling. Making a point to be more mindful of what you are doing can help eliminate these stressors so you are less likely to need to deal with these issues later.
Being mindful requires you to focus your attention on what you are doing and accepting the task at hand without judgment. Accepting the task at hand without judgment means examining things with a scientific eye rather than thinking about how other people might judge you or the results. This can help you drop outside stress while allowing you to produce the intended or expected result.
There are several ways you can apply mindfulness to your everyday life. You can combine or drop elements as necessary to find the techniques that best help you address issues in your life.
Many cultures focus on meditation. They use breathing exercises or relax their thoughts by letting judgments go and returning their thoughts to a more positive light. They allow cravings or addictive feelings to pass rather than giving in to them. Feel as the craving enters the body and try to focus on other thoughts so that it will pass like a wave moving over you.
Making a point of being more aware of your senses can help you remain more mindful as well. Paying more attention to sensory information makes you more aware of your surroundings. You can use this information to feel more appreciative of the beauty or positive things around you. Learn to accept this information without initial judgment. You'll notice this negative sensory information will lose its impact.
How To Practice Gratitude Daily: 20 Awesome Tips!
Practice gratitude to increase empathy and reduce aggression. Grateful people tend to be more sensitive and empathetic towards others.
Very interesting therapeutic approach. I could certainly see its potential benefits with respect to anxiety disorders, eating disorders and mood disorders.
This is an interesting concept. I have heard of living in the present as a way of keeping depression and anxiety at bay, but this is the first time I heard it called "Mindfulness."
Interesting Information!! I was unaware!! Thanks for sharing!!

I'm renting out my apartment, what should I do?
Please make sure that you are the access manager of your facility. You can contact your facility manager to check whether you are access manager. As an access manager, you can manage your tenants' access rights through KONE Flow mobile app. Please refer to Setup wizard for access managers who do not live in or use the facility and Manage my people access for more information.
Do I have to have the KONE Flow app open in order to receive notifications such as incoming intercom calls?
As long as you are not signed out of the app and your smartphone or tablet has internet connection, you will receive the incoming calls. However, you will not receive incoming calls if you have enable Do Not Disturb option on your device OR if you have disable the intercom calls from the KONE Flow app. Please refer to Manage intercom settings for more information on enable or disable intercom call. Please refer to your device manufacturer for more information on how to enable or disable Do Not Disturb option on your device.
What does it mean to be an access manager?
As the access manager of a facility, you are responsible for managing access of residents and visitors of the facility. For more information, please refer to View my people, Manage my people access and Manage visitor access.
What is the difference between access manager, people and visitors?
Access manager is normally the owner of facility. He or she is appointed by facility manager and has the permission to create people and visitors.
On the other hand, people (shown as my people in KONE Flow app) are persons who reside or need to access the building for longer period. They could be residents, family members, tenants, or even roommates. People can have access to all features: intercom, access, messages, and elevators. Visitors can access the building for a limited period. The access is valid only once.
Visitors would need to install KONE Flow app to use digital keys. Visitors do not have intercom access permission.
The KONE Flow app is asking for activation code, where can I find it?
Activation code is used for activating your account for KONE Flow solution. It is sent by your facility manager or access manager via email or letter. The email containing activation code might be in the spam folder of your mailbox.
Can I use two phones if one has iOS and the other one has Android?
Yes. You can use any mobile device no matter it's iOS or Android. Please note that one mobile device will consume one digital key and/or intercom video call license.


Here, the market research tutorial presents market research survey examples.
The first is an example of a telephone survey. Note the adherence to the rules of market research questionnaire writing from earlier in this guide.
Observe also that the study objectives are displayed throughout the survey. This helps ensure that each question is "working," that is, that it provides data that will answer the information needs you and management has established for the study.
Placing your objectives in the questionnaire, and essentially linking each question to an objective, also helps ensure that your research project does not become a jumbled stew of everything everyone in your organization would like to know. Linking questions to objectives also tells you which questions are expendable should you need to reduce the length of the survey.
So, without further ado, here is a sample questionnaire.

Most people who write memoir have to climb over the obstacle of thinking that it is egotistical to write about yourself. This is perhaps especially true of people brought up with the idea that it is bad manners to talk about yourself. I agree with George Orwell who thought that all writing is, to some extent, egotistical and I don't believe that memoir is necessarily any more self-absorbed than any other genre. It depends how you approach it.
If you have things you want to talk about, whether they are personal or historical or political, sometimes using yourself as the 'eye' is the best way. This is especially true if you want to record things only you would know, or your own ideas or perspectives on something. In this workshop we'll look at what other writers are doing with memoir, how to let in new ideas when you are describing your own experiences and get constructive feedback on the results.
The workshop is intended for people who have a memoir project underway, or are thinking of writing a memoir. You'll bring one episode from your memoir text to the first meeting and then, between the first and second meetings, you'll get a chance to experiment with your memoir style. Then in the second meeting we'll workshop the pieces and have a go at revising them again..

Smoked Reflector Overlays are perfect for concealing the orange or red reflectors on your BMW for that stealthy look.
Smoked Reflector Overlays use a dark, smoked film to turn your orange or red reflectors into a smoked lens with a deep glossy appearance while still reflecting light for added safety benefits.
Each set is custom made to the shape of your BMW's reflectors and includes both right and left side reflector overlays.
To properly install this product, you must clean the application area with soap and water for the best possible adhesion.
This product must be installed at room temperature. If your BMW is too warm or cold, the material runs the risk of not adhering properly.
First, compare the overlay you've received with your reflector and make sure they are the same size.
Thoroughly clean the reflector surface with an alcohol wipe and ensure that it is dry using a paper towel.
the reflector, apply some heat with a blow dryer to help activate the adhesive.
While applying, you may notice that the reflector overlay is slightly shorter in length than your original. To remedy this, gently stretch the material while applying it until you achieve the desired length. If you overstretch it, you can cut off the overlapping material with an Exacto knife.
The film can easily be shaped and stretched, and therefore you may need to stretch the film slightly to fit edges and contours or cut off excess with a box cutter.
product is not legal for road use it is sold strictly for off-road, track or show use only.

#432 Exploration of a CT-based Alternative to the Rule of Spence for Assessing Transverse Ligament Integrity

Introduction: The Rule of Spence for assessing integrity of the transverse atlantal ligament (TAL) suffers from poor specificity and sensitivity, frequently incorrectly reflecting the condition of the TAL. Since CT scans are quickly and easily obtained in trauma centers, we propose using a special sequence of two CT scans for more accurate diagnosis of injury to the TAL. We sought to assess the sensitivity of the CT method for TAL injury diagnosis in a laboratory setting.
Methods: Ten human cadaveric specimens were mounted horizontally in a supine posture with wooden inserts attached to the back of the skull to maintain neutral or slightly flexed (10°) postures. Specimens were scanned in neutral and flexed postures in four conditions: (1) intact (N=10), (2) after simulated Jefferson fracture with TAL intact (N=5), (3) after TAL disruption without fracture (N=5), and (4) after TAL disruption with simulated fracture (N=10). Atlanto-dens interval (ADI) from sagittal slices of the CT image was measured to assess anteroposterior instability of C1-C2; cross-sectional canal area was measured to assess canal encroachment caused by the flexed posture.
Results: In going from neutral to slight flexion, ADI increased by 0.02 mm (2.5%) in intact spines, 0.08 mm (6.25%) after Jefferson fracture without TAL disruption, 0.4 mm (34%) after TAL disruption without fracture, and 0.42mm (25%) after TAL disruption with fracture (Fig.1). ADI increases from neutral to flexed were not significant (p>0.33, paired Student's t-test) in normal condition or with fracture without TAL disruption. However, ADI increases were significant with TAL disruption or TAL disruption+fracture (p< 0.035). Increases in canal area were < 0.8% and were not significant (p>0.74).
Discussion: This study explores the possibility of utilizing two CT scans to evaluate TAL integrity. The neutral scan would represent the scan as it is currently obtained, and the slightly flexed scan would represent a scan taken with some support behind the patient's head to induce slight but not full flexion. The change in ADI between these two postures was very sensitive in distinguishing TAL injury from atlas fracture. The results of this study indicate that this method should be more sensitive than the Rule of Spence for evaluating TAL integrity. Additionally, the degree of flexion is small enough to not cause canal encroachment in case of instability. Further clinical research is needed to establish clinical sensitivity and specificity of this method.

Conrad Rocks!: You are AWESOME!!!
Sometimes i think some of my posts through just a little too much! Well, I way over think them. And that is a problem.
I was writing this one post and it turns out that i may make an eBook or Inner circle Podcast out of it. The thoughts just kept flowing and flowing, and then i noticed it was turning into several pages.
I stepped away in my mind's eye briefly and realized i was trying to coalesce an oceans worth of ideas into a short one page blog post. That is not going to work.
I love to do podcasts mainly. I dunno why. Maybe it is because i sound so much better than i look! Podcasting seems to flow much easier and i really enjoy doing them. However it seems people like reading blogs. So i try and fit in a few posts of actual writing just so it appears to look somewhat like a 'normal' blog.
I am grateful for you, because you like all my media forms. Thanks for being awesome like that!
Have i told you that you rock? No? Well, guess what?
I have all these ideas, but they just aren't jumping into a concise one page blog post.
I thank God that i can take 'Blogger's Block' and make a post out of it. ha ha!
God is continuing being awesome to me. I really am learning that He is my provider. It makes me rethink the being a good steward thing. This may cook your noodle, but it seems like the harder i try and make money, the more in debt i get. The more i seek God, the more He provides. Really. It takes a lot to get my head around it. Well, really, i just need to get my faith around it. Praise God. God is all about faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6).
I have been praying about some things. Good things are coming. And i am glad to have you in my life. You are one of the reasons i get up in the morning and stay up late at night. Without you, my life would be different.
Thank you for all the time you put into helping us stay focused...you rock Conrad!

Roof-mounted PV generation promises savings amid the energy crisis
Vestas named most sustainable company in the world
Ministry official presents renewables agenda for 2022
Certain Chinese PV sales escaping import duties, association reports
HELAPCO, the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies, locally acronymed SEF, has reported receiving frequent complaints for local market deals avoiding import duties for Chinese photovoltaic systems.
The cases concern non-member companies offering Chinese photovoltaic systems or models based on European standards but made in China, at prices below a minimum level set by exisiting EU law.
HELAPCO, along with Solar Power Europe – formerly the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) – has, in the past, opposed an EU decision to impose duties on Chinese products, as it considers the measure is subduing development in the PV sector. However, as things stand, the association has no choice but to observe existing EU regulations.
"All companies are required to respect the measure for as long as it remains valid, to avoid unfair competition. For this reason, the Greek state needs to take all necessary measures to ensure that current regulations are strictly adhered to. In the past, the Greek state had opposed the imposition of duties but, unfortunately, the opposing view prevailed," the association announced in a statement.
The association explained, in its announcement, that importers must pay the price difference, based on minimum levels set by EU regulations for the sector, for PV equipment hailing from China. If, however, importers are unable to cover the cost for a variety of reasons, including bankruptcy, then the amount needs to be covered by the actual PV investor, the association noted.


Having to centralize incoming calls, and connect callers to the right brands and/or operations, these receptionists were the early version of today's call center. They inserted a smart CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution at the same time by promising 'to help.' This one line enhanced the customer or client experience and helped with any potential communication shortfalls.
Fast forward to today, the continuous evolution of technology and big data solutions work hard to better bridge the data gaps. Technology still struggles to answer questions, fix problems, provide solutions, and meet expectations, and while it may sometimes fall short, it gets the big picture right. Better technology means solid investment.
Today's ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software solutions are well positioned to better manage the data, collect information and optimize the efficiency of the operation. Companies now have real software solution tools like Salesforce that have revolutionized customer service and evolved into many software and service cloud solutions. By linking CRM (Customer Relationship Management) with ERP, companies can access big data solutions, and boost productivity at the same time. And all this technology is becoming more accessible and affordable.
The best ERP software vendors will provide the solutions and systems to bring all operations into one organization, integrating all different modules so that the data 'talks to each other.' This gives call centers the analytics and intelligence software to fix the flaws, and obtain better customer data. Better customer data can deliver better information and better information means better decisions and solutions. A solid ERP investment can be the right move since without it, costs over the long haul skyrocket with a more home grown approach.
The right ERP software vendor for your company can help integrate the CRM pillar in the full ERP solution. There are clear advantages to connecting CRM since sales and marketing data and its work flows are key to all other pillars- manufacturing, financial, accounting, distribution/supply chain management, and human resources. When ERP and CRM are connected, there is one user experience – one data base – so everyone in the company has access to the call center or customer service representative's order and information. An integrated ERP solution can connect the operational data dots, and help resolve customer and/ or supply chain problems with smart analytics. An ERP investment means the front office connects to the back office. Like a good call center operation, a good ERP system will coordinate business processes, help boost productivity and competitiveness, and solve CRM issues at the same time. Success now demands a smart end to end solution. There is no need to wait any longer to transition out of the spreadsheet sandbox.


What is the actual tire width and aspect ratio on the fifteen inchers?
Can't remember I'll go out and look for you tomorrow.
Sorry I keep forgetting to check for you— if you are interested, I unfortunately would need a rolling set now to trade because I sold the other set.
Nothing to trade......where are your original stock rims?......I might be able to help you clean a garage, heh heh.
Interested in the 17's if you have them still...let me know what shipping would be to Eyota, MN 55934 and a total with the wheels and I'll get back to you.

Add security with this locking fuel door while maintaining the original functionality.
Using your right hand, wrap your fingers around the edge of the fuel door closest to the car body when in the open position. With your left thumb, pull the plastic retaining clip slightly away (to the left as you face the car with the fuel door open). Now pull with your right hand toward your body. The fuel door should slide along the hinged inner door toward you about ¼ inch and then to the right and off the hinged inner door.
Familiarize yourself with the orientation of the new fuel door and lock position. Do not yet install the fuel door as you only risk damaging it during cutting of the lock slot. When the fuel door is installed, the lock will be in the upper left as you look at the closed fuel door (about the 10 0'clock position if on a clock).
Apply the sticker template in the upper left of the fuel cap housing where the new lock will mate to the housing. The sticker will be inside the housing, aligned with the front lip of the fuel housing where the fuel door comes to rest in the closed position and aligned with the edge of the recess for the fuel door opening plunger. The sticker has a small black dot which, when applied correctly, will be nearest the exterior of the car and door plunger (closest to you and at your left as you look into the fuel cap housing).
5. Carefully using the dremel, make a cutout to match the dark area of the template. This will be the slot that the arm of the lock will fit into to hold the fuel door locked closed.
Correctly (right side up, etc.) place your new fuel door onto the hinged inner door. Six tabs will align and pass through six "windows" and slide onto the hinged inner door.
7. Taking care that everything clears on the first couple attempts, close and open the fuel door to ensure proper installation.
8. With the door in the closed position, make sure the lock is able to function properly. You may need to adjust the size or your slot cut-out.
Wipe down your new color matched, locking fuel door and enjoy.

Fabio Berruti
Fabio Berruti (Savona, 1963), is the creator, founder and general coordinator of the R&D of licensing and the current Art Director of Infinite Statue. After studying graphic design and visual communication, he started his career as a photographer at a very young age, organising his first personal photography show at just 17 years old. Son of an artist (his mother was a late-Impressionist painter), he quickly combined the discipline of photography with that of pure graphics, starting to gain experience in studios and advertising agencies, first in Liguria and then in Milan.
He quickly became a freelancer, expanding the services he offered to many other professional fields: from communication to pure advertising, by way of fashion and still life, and simultaneously cultivating a serious artistic streak that resulted in many solo exhibitions, in Italy and abroad, both of pure photography and mixed-media painting/photography. He worked with and for a range of Italian and multinational brands, creating advertising images, promotional and institutional material, and entire national print campaigns across magazines, billboards and newspapers. His photographs were published by dozens of Italian and foreign newspapers.
The mid '90s marked a turning point for him, as he moved into the world of music, starting a new career that would lead him to design and create over 1500 packages, covers and promotional campaigns, and he was one of the main graphic designers responsible for the "restoration" of classic Italian music covers, restoring the entire works of Lucio Battisti and Fabrizio De Andrè to their original graphic form. He was the first to collaborate with major international record companies such as Sony, EMI, Warner, Universal and BMG, and for artists such as Vasco Rossi, Zucchero, Gianna Nannini, Alex Baroni, Carmen Consoli, Daniele Silvestri, Marco Masini, Incognito, Ennio Morricone, Riccardo Chailly and many more besides.
His works were published in over twenty issues of international graphic design publications, from Lürzer's Archive to Print, winning three European Design Annual awards and various Creativity Distinction Awards in the USA. Over all those years, he signed his work with not just his name, but also the label "Infinite Studio", for which he created promotional material every year which also received design awards.
In 2005/06, thanks to the great passion for statues that he had picked up during his travels abroad and the chronic urge to change direction, he came up with the idea of wanting to transform the great Italian heritage of comic books, illustration and cinema into a 3D format. Thus was born (with only four letters changed) "Infinite Statue" (the idea was actually conceived by his eldest son, Jacopo, at only 6 years old - but he never tells anyone that...).
Bringing such a huge enterprise to life was a lot more complex and difficult than he expected. Aside from everything that he needed for the physical creation of 3D objects (sculptors, decorators, materials, production, distribution etc...), he discovered that the world of Italian cinema was so inadequate and ill-prepared (both legally and culturally) for such a thing that it was impossible, at least at first, to find licences, whereas the world of comic books was already out of bounds for him in that he was considered a "newcomer". But everything started to go smoothly when two authors (the first curious, the second puzzled) finally gave in to his insistent appeals, awarding him the first licences and their trust. These were Giancarlo Berardi for "Ken Parker" (maybe their shared Ligurian origins did something to help...) and Bruno Bozzetto for "Il Signor Rossi".
In 2007, Infinite Statue was officially founded. The growth of the production and its reputation soon led to the desire to increasingly expand its borders, choosing to collaborate with Cosmic Group, a large distribution group, which came into possession of the brand and the entirety of the distribution in 2012. The current position and freedom of being Art Director (and Licensing Hunter) finally allowed him to find a way into international cinema (he is still working on Italian cinema...), designing the "Old & Rare" line that came to be a minor cult brand in the 3D world internationally.
Meanwhile his son, now all grown up and the creator of the name, sometimes wonders just when his father will decide to completely change direction once again...


Your teeth are the strongest substance in your body. While exceptionally strong, however, the teeth can still be damaged. When the damage is significant, it can have a serious impact on your oral, and your overall health. If the damage is severe, it can even lead to the tooth falling out or requiring an extraction. At Sussex Dental, we offer crowns and bridges to restore the health of your mouth.
When your teeth are damaged, more than just the appearance of your smile is affected. When the decay is significant, it can have a serious impact on your oral and overall health. Where minor damage usually only impacts the aesthetics of your teeth, more significant damage can affect the layers below the enamel. A passageway for bacteria to enter into the inner layers of the teeth is created. Additionally, the structural integrity of the tooth is compromised, which can increase the risk of further damage. A crown is a dental restoration that is designed to restore the strength and integrity of a damaged tooth, preventing the need for a tooth extraction. It holds the tooth together, prevents bacterial invasion, and protects the tooth from further harm. Crowns can be made from any one of several different materials, including metal, porcelain fused to metal, or ceramic. Each material has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. While metal is the strongest material, ceramic is the most popular. This is because ceramic perfectly mimics the color and light reflection properties of natural enamel. Crowns made from ceramic blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, restoring not only the health of the tooth and your mouth, but restoring the appearance of your smile as well. Read more about Crowns.
A bridge is a dental restoration that is commonly used to replace a single missing tooth. It can, however, be used to replace up to three consecutive missing teeth. There are a few different types of bridges, including cantilever, Maryland or resin bonded and fixed. Fixed bridges are the most common type. This particular bridge is usually made from a single piece of ceramic or porcelain. The replacement tooth, called the pontic tooth, is set between two crowns. The crowns anchor the bridge into place on the teeth adjacent to the empty space. After the bridge is created, it is bonded to the adjacent teeth, and the restoration is held securely in place in your mouth. Read more about Bridges.
The process of getting a crown and a bridge are fairly similar. They both involve removing a portion of the enamel from the necessary teeth. For a crown, the damaged tooth is prepared. If you are getting a bridge, the teeth adjacent to the empty space are prepared. Removing the enamel from these teeth is crucial for ensuring that your new restoration fits in naturally and comfortably with the rest of your teeth, providing you with a beautiful restoration. Properly placed crowns and bridges restore your oral health as well as your quality of life. Whether your teeth are damaged, or you lose them altogether, immediate treatment is essential. For more information on crowns and bridges, call Sussex Dental today at (262) 246-6806.


There has been recent discourse on whether women should be allowed to enroll in front-line combat positions in the military. Likewise, Latinos take the sidekick role in the literary world. There aren't many best-selling military novels that have female protagonists or Latinos. There are even less where the lead is both a female and Latino. In fact, there is only one novel that deals with an all-female paratrooper division. However, Victor Cass has managed to publish four novels that describe exactly that; women working their way up from volunteer rookies to hardened soldiers in books of epic proportions spanning across several years and continents.
They say that when two people meet, they form an impression about the other person. Humans are visual creatures and hence, introductions should reflect on the image that an individual represents, be it a personal reflection or that of an organisation's. Good grooming, body language the proper use of business acumen can really set one apart from the crowd. When introducing on behalf of an organisation the employee should be ready to dole out good quality business cards that are demure yet still create a positive impact. Individuals and entrepreneurs promoting their personal brand should be careful on how their presentation will affect the business in the long run.

LSA Selects Patrick Cox for 2018 Linguistics Journalism Award
Monday, August 13, 2018 - 2:03pm
The LSA is pleased to announce that Patrick Cox, host of the World in Words podcast on Public Radio International (PRI), has been selected to be the recipient of the Society's Linguistics Journalism Award for 2018.
According to the award nomination letter: "Cox's reporting covers all areas of language from language preservation to dialectology and language and gender. His materials are highly pedagogical for their easy approach and, at times, humorist nuances to relevant language issues, yet deep and well researched."
Cox also serves as the Language Editor for PRI's hour-long radio program, "The World." The World is heard on over 300 stations across North America.
Established by the LSA in 2014, this award honors the journalist whose work best represents linguistics during the 12-month consideration period indicated in the call for nominations. The award is based on a single news story or body of work that reflects accuracy and timeliness as regards the material but is also appealing to non-specialist audiences. The call for nominations covered the period from June 1, 2017 through May 31, 2018.
The award will be presented at a special ceremony at the Society's Annual Meeting, to be held on Saturday, January 5, 2019, at 5:30 PM, at the Sheraton Times Sq. Hotel in New York City.


Many studies in recent years have analyzed the ways in which periodontal pathogens travel through the body and incite an immune response that elevates risk for heart disease.
In an effort to learn more about the specific mechanisms behind the oral-cardiovascular connection, researchers in Europe conducted a study with mice models to uncover the pathway by which oral bacteria in the bloodstream affect endothelial progenitors. Endothelial progenitors are cells that can turn into endothelial cells, which make up the walls of blood vessels.
The researchers found that the presence of oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis in the bloodstream corresponded with a significant movement of endothelial progenitors from the bone marrow—where the cells are created—to the blood stream. These cells are released into the bloodstream in order to help maintain the health of the vessel walls.
So it appears that, once again, P. gingivalis is able to impair the body's response to infection.
The authors noted that this effect was "dependent on Toll-like receptor 2, the receptor primarily mediating the invasion of P. gingivalis into host cells." Previous studies have shown that P. gingivalis is able to side-step the immune response by blocking the immune system, while simultaneously elevating and enhancing the body's response with inflammation through toll-like receptors.
So for now, the extent to which P. gingivalis affects the process of endothelial regeneration is uncertain. More research is needed to confirm and explain this phenomenon and to determine how this translates to a human model.

Curbing the spread of nuclear weapons
Ian Bellany
Published by Manchester University Press
Fully detailed but accessible and accurate introduction to the technical aspects of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons for the specialist and non-specialist alike
Balanced and timely presentation of theoretical discussion and historical narrative, both as regards the nature of international security and the bargains implicit in the nuclear non-proliferation and parallel treaties
Unusually full discussion of the phenomenon of nuclear free zones, with particular emphasis on the zone covering Latin America
Comparable zones now cover all of the Southern Hemisphere
Frank appraisal of the functioning of the international atomic energy's safeguards system, which is too infrequently brought out into the open
With the 2005 Review Conference of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in the background, this book provides a fully detailed but accessible and accurate introduction to the technical aspects of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons for the specialist and non-specialist alike. It considers nuclear weapons from varying perspectives, including the technology perspective, which views them as spillovers from nuclear energy programmes; and the theoretical perspective, which looks at the collision between national and international security - the security dilemma - involved in nuclear proliferation. It aims to demonstrate that international security is unlikely to benefit from encouraging the spread of nuclear weapons except in situations where the security complex is already largely nuclearised.
The political constraints on nuclear spread as solutions to the security dilemma are also examined in three linked categories, including an unusually full discussion of the phenomenon of nuclear-free zones, with particular emphasis on the zone covering Latin America. The remarkably consistent anti-proliferation policies of the USA from Baruch to Bush are debated and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty itself, with special attention paid to the international atomic energy's safeguards system is frankly appraised.

amBroadway | Tony Awards depict Broadway in a turbulent time
By Matt Windman Posted on June 14, 2022
The Broadway cast of "Company."
Photo: Matthew Murphy
It was not the most gripping or exciting Tony Awards ceremony of all time. That being said, the 2022 Tony Awards, held on Sunday night, was more than just a commemoration of the best musicals and plays of the 2021-22 Broadway season, a night of song-and-dance entertainment, or a nonstop dose of "Broadway is Back" marketing and boosterism.
Under the panache, it was a candid and poignant portrait of an industry and art form that has endured unprecedented and unrelenting challenges since March 2020 and continues to face an uncertain future, especially as serious questions remain about how long COVID will continue to be a health and safety threat, how long it will take for Broadway to regain the commercial strength it enjoyed prior to the pandemic, and whether the industry can continue to improve in terms of diversity, inclusion, and equality.
The unofficial heroes of this year's Tony Awards were not the armies of producers and co-producers who swarmed the stage of Radio City Music Hall to accept the awards for Best Musical and Best Play, but the lower-profile members of the industry who continue to do everything in their power to make sure that the show goes on in spite of the challenges of COVID, including health and safety personnel, understudies and swings.
Tellingly, one of the six actresses who appeared in the musical segment for "Six" was a dance captain who filled in at the last minute after Abby Mueller tested positive for COVID at the last minute.
The ceremony also served as a public memorial for Stephen Sondheim, whose memory was honored with video clips, a performance by Bernadette Peters, and multiple awards for the gender-reversed revival of the Sondheim musical "Company," including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical (Marianne Elliott), and Best Performance by a Featured Actress (Patti LuPone) and Featured Actor (Matt Doyle) in a Musical.
While "Company" and "The Lehman Trilogy" each racked up a solid number of awards, voters spread the love generously among shows this year. "A Strange Loop," which ultimately won the coveted prize of Best New Musical, took home only one other award (for Best Book of a Musical). One suspects that "MJ" and "Six" may have split the vote of those who preferred more mainstream fare to "A Strange Loop." But even if one has mixed feelings on "A Strange Loop," it is significant and refreshing that such a risk-taking, experimental, and diverse show won.
As a host, Ariana DeBose was no Hugh Jackman or Neil Patrick Harris (or even James Corden) in terms of old-fashioned showmanship. But it was refreshing to have someone so young, enthusiastic, and attractive leading the ceremony. (The same could be said of Darren Criss and Julianne Hough, who hosted the hour-long "Act One" on Paramount Plus.)
The best performance of the night came not from a nominated show but from a musical that won the Tony Award for Best Musical 15 years ago: "Spring Awakening." The original cast, including Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele, and Skyler Austin, came together to perform a gorgeous rendition of the song "Touch Me" with the original choreography. (For more, see "Spring Awakening: Those You've Known," the recently released HBO documentary with footage from the show's recent reunion concert on Broadway.)
