Dental implants have become the ideal treatment in dentistry to replace missing teeth. Dental implants look, act, and function like regular teeth. A single dental implant consists of 3 components: implant, abutment, and crown. A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jaw to act as the root for the missing tooth. The abutment is the connection between the implant and the crown. The crown is the cover for the abutment which looks exactly like a tooth. Sometimes, the abutment and crown are fused as one piece.
WHEN IS AN IMPLANT USEFUL IF I AM MISSING A LOT OF TEETH?
Sometimes, implants are placed to hold dental bridges. Sometimes, they are placed to anchor a removable denture or a non-removable denture. There are multiple uses for implants now.
Dental implants can improve one's appearance, speech, and comfort. Eating will become much easier.
Dental implants are close to 98% successful and are quite durable. They can last many years and hopefully a lifetime.
The earliest an implant can be placed is between 18-21 years old. There is no age limit for dental implants. Certain medical conditions and medication use can be limiting factors though.
Getting dental implants is NOT painful! Over the counter pain medications like Ibuprofen or Tylenol Is all that is needed for the mild discomfort after an implant is placed.
WILL DR. JAY PLACE THE DENTAL IMPLANT?
Dr. Jay places the dental implant as well as restore them with the abutment and crown, or the removable or non-removable dentures that will connect with the implants.
The process of getting a dental implant placed to getting the final crown or prosthesis can take 2-3 months. The implant needs time to integrate with one's jawbone. There are times when getting a implant prosthesis may take longer depending on the situation. If the implant involves a front tooth or teeth, Dr. Jay will have to make a temporary tooth or teeth to be used in the interim until the final prosthesis is made.
So, say "good-bye" to your cracked teeth … missing teeth … old, wobbly dentures that hurt. Have the perfect smile you deserve, and never feel ashamed or embarrassed of your teeth again.
Regain your confidence overnight, and have more success in your personal and professional life.
Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements that were first developed half a century ago by a Swedish scientist named Per-Ingvar Branemark. Implants arose from the patient's need to secure loose-fitting dentures. Since the advent of the implant, engineering and enhancements to the implant have enabled dentists to expand the implant's usefulness, including the replacement of missing or lost teeth. Today, implant techniques provide a wide range of tooth replacement solutions.
Although proper oral hygiene is always recommended for maintaining good dental health, it is especially important when a patient has received a dental implant. With proper home care and regular office visits, dental implants can last for decades.

Cheap Power = Prosperity
J.P. Donlon
What are the biggest myths about energy?
The biggest myth is that we're running out of energy. The reality is that we're just beginning to understand the availability of energy resources that we have, particularly here in the U.S. Remember, it was as recent as 2005 that ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond said that natural gas production in North America has peaked. ExxonMobil is a pretty savvy outfit, but they got it wrong. What's happened since 2005? U.S. natural gas production has increased 41 percent. The myth that we're running out of energy has been predominant now for a century, and what keeps happening? Innovation. It's evident in oil and gas exploration, in the downstream sector, in refining, and also in the way that we're consuming energy. We're becoming incredibly more efficient. Yet this myth that we're running out of energy continues to prevail. It's what certain sectors of society use to justify their rent-seeking and this has been damaging to the U.S. economy.
What will play out with the endlessly debated Keystone XL pipeline and what do you reckon the delay has cost the economy?
It's really impossible to estimate the economic costs of the delay. In my view, the Keystone XL pipeline doesn't matter anymore. Why? Because if you look at the amount of oil by rail loading capacity that has been built in North Dakota and is being built in Alberta and North Dakota alone, it represents a million barrels a day; Alberta, another million barrels a day. Keystone was designed for 800,000 barrels a day. So, the combination of the new push for moving more oil by rail has, in many ways, obviated the need for Keystone.
Clearly, moving oil by pipeline is safer and cheaper. But at this point, with the new rail information in place, the oil producers in the Bakken and in Canada are realizing, "We have more flexibility to move our oil by rail." So this continuing delay on Keystone has led to a predictable response—oil is getting to market by rail instead of by pipeline.
You make a compelling case that the cheaper the energy, the better for the economy, especially for middle- and lower-wage earners. Yet, the prescription from the policy elites is to make energy more costly. Why?
It intrigues and horrifies me how the de-growth idea has become more mainstream. It is being carried by the most famous and probably the most influential environmentalist in America, Bill McKibben. In getting himself arrested protesting the Keystone pipeline in front of the White House, McKibben said he wants a twenty-fold reduction in global hydrocarbon use. And no one ever questions it. Instead,the reaction is, well, of course, that's what we need to do to prevent climate change. This is a radical agenda, and it's something that represents an incredible threat, not just to the U.S. economy, but to the global economy. These people want to take us backward. They believe fundamentally that to go forward, we have to go backward. This is silly on its face. For example, one of the prescriptions being advanced is having a global referee to decide who gets to use what energy. We're going to cede our sovereign power to some unelected entity that gets to decide what size car we drive or how many miles per year we can fly?

Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe
Drama / History

Fine effort but not engrossing enough
'Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe' is a movie which, although a good one, left me slightly unsatisfied. I was interested, at times impressed, at others amused by Maria Schrader's film, but in the end, not totally conquered. * Interested because Zweig is among my favorite writers and my being given the opportunity to revisit his life and ideas (even if in a restricted manner like here) could not possibly leave me indifferent. Moreover the cast, composed of Austrian, German and Portuguese actors, is chosen to perfection. Josef Hader embodies the great writer most convincingly and Barbara Sukowa as Friderika, his ex-wife, is her usual competent self. As for Aenne Schwarz, she reveals an engaging personality as Lotte, Stefan's second wife. * Impressed by the virtuosity of director Schrader (the dazzling opening sequence set at the Jockey Club ; the closing one leaving the vision of Zweig and Lotte's dead bodies off-camera except for a transient reflection in the mirror of a wardrobe). * Amused by the indescribable humor of the long sequence staging the botched reception of Stefan and Lotte in a remote village of Bahia State, the plump henpecked mayor delivering a clumsy address under the control of his domineering wife, followed by the harrowing performance of a local brass band striking up to play one of the worst versions of "The Blue Danube" ever to be heard. A comical episode but in no way gratuitous insofar as it reinforces the notion that Zweig is in awkward position, at once fascinated by his adopted country and lost in deep, irremediable uprooting. So what accounts for the slight feeling of insatisfaction that was mine after viewing the film: too many speeches perhaps (what is indeed less humane than these exercises in rhetoric convincing only the convinced and leaving the others listening distractedly and yawning discreetly ?); the narrative process chosen (Zweig's life from 1936 to 1942 presented in five barely related episodes and an epilogue) not allowing to know Zweig intimately enough? For example, I would have liked to know on what grounds Zweig had divorced Friderika, how he formed a new couple with Lotte, how Stefan persuaded Lotte to follow him in death... I dare say that to avoid being accused of making a merely illustrative biopic told in chronological order (the critics' latest pet aversion), some filmmakers tend to uselessly break down temporality. This is precisely what, in my case, lessened the emotional impact of this otherwise thought-provoking film. A little more continuity would have resulted in a little more adherence to the story and its characters, a must-be when one deals with such a connoisseur of the human soul as Zweig. But those are only reservations, not a rejection of the movie. Even with what I consider its shortcomings (not everybody's point of view for that matter, 'Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe' remains a respectable work, which will not make you waste your time.

An almost documentary account of the exile dilemma of Stefan Zweig and many other German artists during the difficult nazi years.
This is a very sad film, but if the ambition was to give as correct and truthful a picture as possible of Stefan Zweig's exile dilemma, it has succeeded overwhelmingly well. The character of the film is as close to documentary as a feature film can be, it is almost overly realistic in catching every day life scenes of the author and his friends and family, and the introductory scenes in South America, especially the Pen conference in Buenos Aires in 1936 give insight enough into Stefan Zweig's public standing and views and his definite refusal to take any political standing at all. That was maybe his life's tragedy, he wanted to keep it pure of any commitment for or against any worldly state and ideology, but in the end he was forced to abandon his idealism to finally take a stand against nazism in his autobiography "The World of Yesterday" and his last work "Schachnovelle". That could be seen as a personal moral bankruptcy in giving up his idealistic view of humanity, and he committed his suicide almost directly after finishing the story. It was found after his death. Of course, a film like this can't tell the whole truth but only give glimpses of it, but the glimpses are accurate and expressive enough and give a fairly good view of the whole picture. He actually contemplated suicide already much earlier in his career, he even asked his first wife Friederike to join him in suicide, but she had her two daughters (from a previous marriage) to live for, while his second wife was free to join him. It's a beautiful picture for its infinite melancholy expressed only in suggestions but giving a very accurate interpretation of the very complex and tragic case of Stefan Zweig, who was the greatest writer of his time.

Sooo sad
Josef Hader is one of the best actors you will ever see. Believe it. If you do not know anything about Zweig and if you want to see Hader acting, because you have not seen him before than go for this one. It is entertaining enough to sit it through somehow. And Hader is - as always - a magnet to the eyes. But apart from Haders's acting this movie is a disaster. Zweig's life has so much potential, but Maria Schrader decided to show Zweig's inner struggle with his emigration from Europe to America in 5 or 6 long snapshot-dialogues. And to deliver the message with everything what happened in Zweig's life, Schrader was forced to bend the talking in the dialogues in such a way that all information was said in some sort of everyday tittle-tattle between Zweig, his wives, and other people. So the movie gets very artificial and artistically forced. And so we got tired in our seats. It would have been much better to make a mock-documentary about Zweig (with Hader). Anyway, for lovers of great acting I recommend it, but only because of Hader's unmissable acting: to be honest, Hader could play an old sneaker resting for years in a shoe box and it would still be worthwhile seeing it.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow – Review
Game Trivia
Review by hempick
Reviewed: 05/19/03 | Updated: 05/19/03
Sean Connery: "All right Trebek, I'll take Swords for 200." ..... Alex Trebek: "That's S-Words, Mr. Connery."
Before anything else, I think it is important to mention my feelings about the Castlevania series in general. I never had an NES or SNES when I was younger, so the only way I was able to play them was if I went to a friend's house. My first taste of Castlevania was not a positive one. Although I liked the story and motif of the game, I found its gameplay (controls) to be an abomination. (Ironically enough, I did own the original Gameboy and actually liked "Castlevania: The Adventure," sans the second stage of the third level, which was nearly impossible. But this is not a review of that game, so I will stop there.) I became a fan of the Castlevania series when I bought the game Circle of the Moon a few years ago. I was weary of buying a Castlevania game because of my prior experiences with the series, but I am pleased that I did. In my opinion, Circle of the Moon was (and still is) a fantastic game. Shortly thereafter, I purchased Symphony of the Night, which was a delight as well. I was not compelled to purchase Harmony of Dissonance immediately after its release, but about a week before Aria of Sorrow was available in stores, I was craving some new CV action so much that I finally bought HoD; it ended up being nice, but it was not as great as I assumed it would be. Recently, I have gone back and played some of the older Castlevanias and though I like them more than I did previously and appreciate them for they are worth, they are not really my ''cup of tea.'' So, anyway, that is where I stand in terms of Castlevania.
Gameplay: 9/10
One of the Aria of Sorrow's assets in terms of gameplay is the cornucopia of weapons available to our hero, Soma Cruz. As I alluded to in my title, swords are the main weapons in this game. (Although, there are some others, like spears and such, too.) Call me a Castlevania non-purist, but I like having the ability to wield various different weapons, instead of just having that mundanely banal whip all the time. Another nice aspect of Aria is the soul system; this allows you to absorb the abilities of the enemies you kill. Just do not be disappointed if it takes a little while to get certain ones, because they do not automatically give up their souls the first time you kill them.
Whether we have played a Castlevania game before or not, most of us know the basic storyline. Compared to the other games in the series, this installment has one of the better scenarios. However, I do not want to give it away, so I will just say there are definitely some exciting surprises.
Graphics: 9/10
As I said before, I like the fact that Soma has a plethora of weapons to choose from. You may be wondering why I mentioned this in the graphics section. The reason is that the graphics are so high-quality that you can see the intricacies of all the different weapons. I love it when games offer different equipment, but sometimes the developers disappoint me and have the same graphic represent every piece of paraphernalia. Thankfully, Aria of Sorrow does not fail in this sense as some other games do.
Replay Factor: 9/10
Some of the other reviewers have complained that the game is too short and it lacks replay value, but frankly, I do not know how or why they have reached this conclusion. First of all, Castlevania games have never been know for having the length of a Final Fantasy game or similar RPG. Second, in terms of replay, this game offers a boss rush mode and an extra playable character after you beat the game. (It may also offer more bonuses that have yet to be discovered by the gaming gurus at GameFAQs.) Additionally, there are over 100 available monster souls to collect; if you want to get them all (which I suggest you do) you will be playing for a long time.
Final Recommendation: 9/10
The only reason I am giving this game a 9 is that I do not feel any game deserves 10. No game is perfect; any game, no matter what it is, could be improved in some way. With that said, I wholeheartedly recommend that you buy this game and play it until you have worn it out so much that it will not work anymore. …then go out and buy another copy. ;-)

Kovács Ferenc (Kolozsvár, 1927. november 17. – Kolozsvár, 2006. október 10. ) – irodalomtörténész, műfordító, hangjátékíró, a kolozsvári magyar rádió műsorszerkesztője 1955 és 1985 között, majd 1989 után.

Életútja

Szülővárosa Római Katolikus Főgimnáziumában érettségizett (1946), a Bolyai Tudományegyetemen magyar nyelv és irodalom szakos diplomát szerzett (1950). Mint rádiószerkesztő Bukarestben kezdte pályáját (1950-55), ezt követően harminc éven át a Kolozsvári Rádió magyar kommentátora (1955-85). Az 1989-es forradalom napjaiban részt vett régi munkatársaival együtt a betiltott kolozsvári rádióadás újraszervezésében.

Első írását az Igazság közölte (1947), az Utunk, Korunk, A Hét, Művelődés, Új Élet, Dolgozó Nő, Igazság, Előre munkatársa. Közléseiből kiemelkedik Jakab Elek, az ASTRA (kulturális egyesület) tiszteletbeli tagja (A Hét 1974/12), Timotei Cipariu magyar levelezése (Utunk, 1980/6), s Az Erdélyi Iskola triászának magyar barátai I-II (A Hét, 1981/47, 48) c. tanulmánya. A román-magyar irodalmi kapcsolatok kutatójaként gondozta a George Bariț magyar levelezése (Ioan Chindrișsel, 1974), a Két évszázad kortársa, George Barițiu (Kovács Józseffel, Kolozsvár, 1984) és a Kelt Balázsfalván... c. kötetet (1985).

Magyar irodalomtörténeti kutatómunkásságának eredménye a Bitay Árpád c. tanulmány és szöveggyűjtemény (Testamentum, 1977) és György Lajos tanulmányainak kiadása, Az anekdota – A magyar regény előzményei (RMI, 1988), bevezető tanulmányával és jegyzeteivel.

Wedding reception decor should be based solely on what you want. The appearance of your whole reception is based on your need and what you want to display to your guest. Plan your venue carefully and work with the idea that suitable with your venue. Using the right decoration idea that based on the venue appearance will make your attempt to achieve the best wedding ever held become much easier.
The right decoration idea is started by creating the theme. You can use situation, ideas, things, or color to make the best theme. You should consider the limit of your imagination and your ability to make it real. You should calculate how much you will spend for your decoration idea and the proportion it should take from your wedding budget. Making simple wedding is much better than losing too much for unnecessary things.
After you manage to make a plan you should assign budget to it. You can use some research to make your budget very tight or you can also predict how big the money that you would need. Hunting decoration items is much easier as soon as you have complete planning of item and budget. Don't be stingy and reroute your budget if you manage to get cheap items.

Texas breaks from CDC in vaccinating elderly over police and teachers as states set own priorities for who gets Covid shots next
Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, speaks during an Operation Warp Speed vaccine summit at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020.
People 65 years and older, and those with certain medical conditions will be able to get the Covid-19 vaccine sooner in Texas than the federal government is recommending.
In Massachusetts, prisoners and corrections officers are in the first phase of vaccine recipients, along with first responders like police officers and fire fighters, even though the federal government recommended including just health-care workers and long-term care residents.
The limited supply of the vaccine doses has forced public officials to ration the shots to a select few groups of people, mostly those in hospitals fighting the pandemic or society's most vulnerable populations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention prioritized health-care workers and nursing home residents in the first phase of Covid-19 inoculations. Most states followed the CDC's outline for the so-called phase 1a group, but some are deviating a bit from the agency's advice for the phase 1b group, which the agency outlined Sunday to include everyone over 74 years old as well as "frontline essential workers" like agricultural workers, police and teachers.
That decision was the result of months of discussion and analysis by members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The group sought to ensure the U.S. divvies out the precious few million first doses in a fair and equitable way that also provided the most benefits to society — like ensuring the people taking care of Covid-19 patients remain healthy enough to continue doing so. But their recommendations aren't binding, leaving states with the final word on who gets their shot and when.
Texas was among the first states to split from the CDC guidance. The state announced Monday that it is prioritizing those 65 years and older as well as those with certain medical conditions in its phase 1b vaccination plan, making frontline essential workers wait a bit longer.
"The focus on people who are age 65 and older or who have comorbidities will protect the most vulnerable populations," said Imelda Garcia, chair of Texas' expert vaccine allocation panel and DSHS associate commissioner for laboratory and infectious disease services. "This approach ensures that Texans at the most severe risk from COVID-19 can be protected across races and ethnicities and regardless of where they work."
Texas' deviation from the federal guidelines isn't unreasonable, Dr. Jen Kates, senior vice president and director of global health and HIV policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said in a phone interview. The question of how to prioritize people to receive a potentially life-saving shot is not an easy one, she noted, and there are no right answers. But the state's deviation is quite substantial, Kates noted, adding that she expects to see even more states break from the CDC recommendation as plans are rolled out.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis followed Texas on Tuesday, saying he intends to prioritize people over the age of 70 to be first to get the vaccine, not essential workers.
"The vaccines are going to be targeted where the risk is going to be greatest, and that is in our elderly population," DeSantis said at a news briefing. "We are not going to put young, healthy workers ahead of our elderly, vulnerable population."
'State values'
"It's not really about right or wrong, but it is about state values," said Kates, who is closely monitoring state vaccine prioritization plans as they become public.
One of the questions central to the prioritization decision is whether to prioritize those at greatest risk of dying from Covid-19, the elderly, or those at greatest risk of becoming infected and spreading the virus, the essential workforce, she said.
"Texas has clearly come down on the side of, 'we're going to focus on those who are at greatest risk of illness and death,'" she added, noting other states will likely show different values in their plans. "Basically, it creates a different order for the line, and people are going to have different access, relatively speaking, based on where they live."
Texas' prioritization plan excludes frontline essential workers from the next tranche of shots, including the state's nearly 2 million food and agricultural workers, according to the Feeding the Economy trade group. Teachers and school staff, police officers, manufacturing workers, U.S. postal service employees, public transit workers are also among those who are prioritized under the CDC's phase 1b recommendation, but not in Texas.
"Agricultural workers have little protection and have suffered disproportionately, but in this schema that Texas is using [they] will not be at the front of the line," Kates noted. "It sends a signal."
CDC guidance came 'late'
Dr. Bill Schaffner, an epidemiologist at Vanderbilt University and a liaison to ACIP, said that he, too, anticipates seeing more state to split from the CDC guidance in the coming weeks. State officials have been working on their prioritization plans for months, at this point, Schaffner noted, and they're unlikely to overhaul their plans after the CDC recommendation.
"The ACIP recommendation has been earnest, careful, thoughtful, egalitarian, sincere, honest, all those good things, and a little late in coming," Schaffner said in a phone interview. "I was pretty sure that in our diverse country with 50 states and I can never remember how many territories, there would be some, shall we say, harmonics — variations on a theme."
Members of ACIP at their Sunday meeting, when they voted on their phase 1b and 1c recommendations, noted that local officials should take the federal guidance and adjust it based on the local situation. But Schaffner noted that Texas' plan is more than an interpretation of the federal guidance; it's a notable deviation.
He also echoed Kates' point that there's no right or wrong answer here and that Texas' plan appears well designed. Not everyone on the CDC's vaccine committee supported the plan, which was adopted Tuesday. Dr. Henry Bernstein of Northwell Cohen Children's Medical Center voted against the plan, because he wanted to cover everyone 65 and older in the next round of shots like Texas, Schaffner said.
Implementing the plans is a significant challenge, he said. Of the 4.6 million vaccine doses that have been shipped across the U.S., just 614,117 have been administered through Tuesday morning, according to the CDC. To successfully get the vaccine out to all critical populations will take time and money that local health departments don't currently have, he said. The recently passed Covid relief bill allocates more than $8 billion for vaccine distribution.
"It's the implementation where the equity really becomes important. What are the different states going to do to really reach out to the underserved populations?" he said. "If the health department's haven't been given additional resources, the intentions may stop at the door."
And more challenging questions will likely arise as states try to broaden their vaccine allocation programs, Kates, of the Kaiser Family Foundation, said. She noted, for example, that there could be a situation where neighboring states have different prioritization schedules, thereby encouraging some residents to travel across borders to receive the vaccine.
"There's all those kinds of issues that are going to come up and really, they have to be managed and they can only be managed at a national level," she said. "Otherwise the inequities will come about."

BRICK LANE BREWING CO. SUPERNOVA
Two red telephones, one in the White House, the other in the Kremlin, allowed Kennedy and Khrushchev to talk each other down from the brink of nuclear war! Perhaps now during such critical times, the best way to divert a crisis is to pick up the phone and check in on a mate over this 'virtual' cold craft.
Origin – Dandenong. Victoria
ABV- 6.8%
Size- 355mL can
Style- Indian Pale Ale
Supernovas, the extremely bright, super-powerful star explosions, are caused when a star that is at least five times the mass of our sun goes out with a fantastic bang - a 'last hurrah' of sorts of a dying firey cosmic ball. Astronomers believe that they are so rare that only about two or three of them occur each century in galaxies like our own Milky Way. While Jon Seltin could have never possibly envisaged it when brewing his Supernova in early January this year, the release in March of Brick Lane's latest offering, at a time in our own history so rare that none of us will likely experience anything like it again, is a remarkable reflection on our times.
Fortunately for them – at a time that will inevitably, and heartbreakingly, be the last hurrah for some in the craft beer universe – when the former corporate lawyer Paul Bowker and ex Fosters marketing guru Andrew Scrimgeour look in the mirror, they will see more than just their own reflection. With twenty-five other mates, all with their own successful careers as part shareholders, the support networks at a time like this for all within Brick Lane Brewing Co, are strong as, well, bricks! Founded in 2017, the group of friends with a vision and the commitment to a shared experience built around a love of independent beer, managed to entice Seltin, formerly of Hawkers Beer, to join them as the head brewer and a minor shareholder.
With Seltin at the helm, they started out contract brewing – getting a cracking pale and lager into the market – before scraping together the funds to set up a rather large 5000 square metre production facility, along with a canning line and taproom in Dandenong South on the fringe of Melbourne. Engineered from the ground up, the brewery has plenty of toys to play with, not the least of them the state-of-the-art CO2 extractor used to significant effect in this bright and tropical Supernova. Used to pluck the essential oils from the dry Citra hop, the oils can be added to the brew, delivering here a powerful aromatic punch on the nose and in the mouth, without the lingering bitterness often follows. It's a beer that shines with sweet and tropical lychee, mango, tangerine and papaya notes, along with a surprising earthiness that sets it apart from most typical IPAs.
Perhaps this Supernova is the shining light we all need in this moment of darkness?

Mussolini - 'Il Duce'
The first of a two part political biography series (in next week's program, a revisionist study of Turkish leader Kemal Ataturk).
Benito Mussolini was born in 1883, fought in World War One and became Prime Minister of Italy in 1922. Three years later he became its dictator. In April 1945 he was hanged by Italian partisans.
As dictators go Mussolini remains a controversial figure. Although his rise to power was marked by brutality and intimidation, he lacked Hitler's certainty of racial superiority and the will to carry that doctrine to its awful conclusion.
Historian Richard Bosworth, in his new biography "Mussolini" sees the political dictator as a man with evident flaws, capable of great cruelty but still recognizable as a human being - and an individual with gifts that might have served his country better.
Hindsight, Sunday, 1st. December, 2002

Claims Modernisation Key to Maintaining Reputation
Lloyd's is renowned for its specialist underwriting expertise but ask a client to name what they value the most, and they are likely to answer "rapid payment of claims". The prompt and reliable payment of valid claims is key to our ongoing success. Claims is a key touchpoint with our customers and delivery here is essential.
For this reason, further modernisation of claims management and the related technology should not fall behind our ongoing efforts to modernise underwriting. The Lloyd's claims community has led the market in driving change and innovation in claims over the last few years. We are seeing a willingness to adopt technology and streamline procedures. The LMA Claims Committee (LMACC), comprising Heads of Claims from managing agencies, has been working hard to drive forward improvements in the claims area at Lloyd's, and in the wider London market, and has achieved some considerable successes.
The highlight among them is the London market's new Single Claims Agreement, which will go live in January once it has received approval from the LMA Board, IUA Board and Lloyd's Franchise Board. It allows the London leader of cross-market contracts to agree non-complex claims up to £250,000 on behalf of following carriers. It will bring valuable efficiencies and allow us to meet our commitments to customers more quickly. That said, the delivery of the Single Claims Agreement model is bringing a modern concept to claims management in London, while the changes that need to take place to ensure the technology is available to support this claims agreement model are essential and need to be prioritised.
A second step forward on the claims front is the LMA's new Claims Expert Management Hub. The technology and resource, to be delivered by Advent Insurance Management, will assist with the assessment and management of experts such as lawyers and adjusters throughout the life of a claim, while improving and enhancing data on claims spend and leakage. It will also deliver customer and carrier benefits: improved data, performance oversight, efficiency gains and better service for policyholders.
The market's new Satellite Imagery and Intelligence Service, developed by the LMA and Lloyd's, was tested to support the response to HIM. The service and technology provides syndicates with satellite imagery and intelligence to assess claims in the immediate wake of catastrophe events and other losses and is provided by McKenzie Intelligence Services.
For more information about the claims priorities and related activity, please see the articles by Lee Elliston, the LMA's Head of Claims Operations, in this issue of Viewpoint.
What's next on the LMA claims agenda? The LMACC is currently identifying areas of priority, and synergies between claims management and claims agreement processing, and the technology and solutions needed to support the market's move away from legacy claims technology and outdated back-office systems.
The future may hold innovations, such as customer and third party claims and First Notice of Loss (FNOL) portals, a single London claims agreement platform, fund management and direct settlement claims services, sanctions and fraud technology, and mainstream adoption of robotics and artificial intelligence.
Our customers will benefit directly from the transformative changes the claims community is leading.

Houston Astros - PlayerWatch
INF Marwin Gonzalez (bruised right heel) is still about a week away from heading out on rehab assignment. "We have to get him pain-free in that heel before we can head him out," manager Brad Mills said.
1B Carlos Lee was running a little late to the ballpark Friday afternoon after getting stuck in massive traffic on the main highway corridor to Minute Maid Park. He arrived in time for batting practice, but not before keeping manager Brad Mills updated on his traffic nightmare. "He was panicking," Mills said. "He was sending me photos of traffic."
OF Travis Buck, who is on the disabled list due to right Achilles tendinitis, will play the field and be used at designated hitter this weekend in a rehab assignment for Class AA Corpus Christi. In his first four games with Corpus Christi, he has gone 1-for-9 with three walks and four strikeouts.
OF Justin Maxwell is listed as day-to-day after an MRI revealed a bone chip in his left ankle. Manager Brad Mills said Maxwell would be closely monitored and that he would be available as long as the bone chip doesn't affect any ligaments or joints. The discomfort has been there most of the season, and Maxwell likely will have to play through it for the remainder of the season, Mills said. Maxwell drew a walk in a pinch-hit appearance in the seventh inning Friday.
OF Fernando Martinez went a combined 2-for-4 with two RBI in his first two rehab games for Class AAA Oklahoma City. He has been on the disabled list since June 9 due to post-concussion syndrome.
RHP Bud Norris is scheduled to make a rehab start for Class AAA Oklahoma City on Saturday. Norris is currently on the disabled list due to a sprained left knee.
RHP Lucas Harrell allowed only two hits and one run in seven innings, retiring 19 of the next 20 batters he faced after allowing a leadoff triple to open the game. He struck out a career-high nine, but he wound up a tough-luck loser in a 2-0 defeat to Cleveland.

Barbados and West Indies player Deandra Dottin says she is on a mission to become the number one batter in women's cricket. The hard-hitting right-hander believes she has it in her to be the world's best and wants to prove it.
Deandra Dottin is aiming for the top.
Dottin is presently part of the West Indies 18-member squad going through a month of intense training at the Sagicor High Performance Centre in Barbados. They are gearing up for the seven-match series against South Africa next month as well as the ICC Women's World Cup in Mumbai, India from January 31 to February 17.
"I want to be number one…I know I can be the number one. But it will require lots of hard work and I know I'm fully capable of achieving this goal. I've put in a month of hard work here and will look to push on. It's a long-term goal which I have set myself. I know I won't suddenly jump up and be in the number one position. What I ultimately want to do is get runs consistently for the team and lead us to more wins, in both ODIs and T20s," Dottin said.
At this stage, Dottin is some distance away from the top spot. The latest ICC rankings have her at number 9. The other West Indian in the Top 10 is Stafanie Taylor – at number 2 in batting and number 1 among the all-rounders.
The South Africa Series bowls off at Warner Park in St. Kitts with two ODIs on January 7 and 9 while Windsor Park in Dominica will host the other three ODIs on January 12, 13 and 15. Two back-to-back T20s will be played at the Beausejour Cricket Ground under lights on January 19 and 20. Both matches will be broadcast live on ESPN throughout the Caribbean.

This month, we feature a trio of works by the Spanish painter Raúl Berzosa, completed in 2008 for the Oratory of Sorrows in Málaga, Spain. Installed surrounding a sculpture of Christ on the Cross, the works form an exquisite harmony both visually and iconographically.
Soaring above the Crucifix in the vault above is a mural of The Glorification of the Name of God. In the center appears a glowing triangle (a symbol of the Blessed Trinity) containing the name of God in Hebrew. Layers of the clouds of heaven have parted to reveal this name, which emanates rays of brilliant light. A host of tiny cherubim gather before our eyes in worship, some looking aloft to the Godhead above, one gazing down in wonder and emotion to the sculpture of Christ below.
The two paintings hanging on the side walls and flanking the sculpture of Christ Crucified highlight the body of Christ: His Mystical Body the Church, and His true Body in the Eucharist. To our left is the Triumph of the Church over Sin. The Church, personified as a woman, meets the blind gaze of a sinner at her feet, bound and incapacitated by Sin, represented by a serpent. She wears the stole of priestly authority and the fisherman's ring, a symbol of Saint Peter and the papacy, and receives the papal tiara from an angel above her. As she gazes at the sinner at her feet, she points towards the Crucifix as the source of his freedom from the hold of sin.
At our right is an image showing the Triumph of the Eucharist over Idolatry. The Blessed Sacrament bursts with light and occupies the focal point of the painting. A man who has been enslaved to worldly pursuits turns in response to an angel who directs his attention to the Eucharist as the One worthy of worship. In this moment of conversion, the man lets several gold coins slip from his hand to join the scepter and coins -- symbols of earthly power and love of riches -- already at his feet.

Based on the ancient belief that the peacock's flesh does not decay - Saint Augustine details a rather odd account of discovering the peacock's "antiseptic qualities" and reputed incorruptibility - the bird acquired an association in Christian art with Christ's Resurrection. An additional belief that the bird loses its feathers in autumn and re-grows them in the spring augmented its value as a symbol of the Resurrection.
Images of the peacock adorn all manner of Christian art, from catacomb painting to mosaic church decoration to liturgical objects, and the bird appears occasionally in scenes of Christ's Nativity. Take for example the image above, a detail of The Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. A peacock perched atop the stable where Christ has been born calls to mind His Resurrection, through which Christ opens for us the way to life everlasting.

In his April 26th article entitled On Beauty: A Message to Its Religious Despisers, Deal W. Hudson responds to those who claim that beauty is the "road to ruin," that it is illusory, materialistic or even unnecessary. Instead, he gives credence to the idea that "beauty can be an agent of salvation" with a cogent argument punctuated with compelling words from Hans urs von Balthasar and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. He explains that there is a metaphysical unity of beauty and truth, and that "God had to make His beauty visible to the material eye in order to draw that eye back to the spiritual." Not only does "God's revelation to us [have] an aesthetic character that cannot be ignored," but "if you deny a person beauty...he may reject Him, He who is beauty itself."

In response to our Holy Father's call to "rediscover the way of beauty, " Thomas More College's artist-in-residence, David Clayton, has created a blog dedicated to this end, with articles that explore the principles behind art and beauty. To visit the blog, please click here.
In honor of the fifth anniversary of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI's election to the chair of St. Peter, it seems fitting to reiterate our HolyFather's own words regarding art and beauty, as recorded in the Ratzinger Report. "The only really effective apologia for Christianity comes down to two arguments, namely, the saints the Church has produced, and the art which has grown in her womb. Better witness is borne to the Lord by the splendor of holiness and art which have arisen in the community of believers than by the clever excuses which apologetics has come up with to justify the dark sides which, sadly, are so frequent in the Church's human history. If the Church is to continue to transform and humanize the world, how can she dispense with beauty in her liturgies, that beauty which is so closely linked with love and with the radiance of the Resurrection? No. Christians must not be too easily satisfied. They must make their Church into a place where beauty --- and hence truth --- is at home." Let us demonstrate solidarity with our Holy Father and also champion beauty in the Christian sacred arts.

Boredom Is Extinct
By Walter Kirn
July/August 2010 Issue
People used to talk about boredom as though it were a thing, not a mood—a sort of physical object. It "descended" on you. You "escaped" from it, you "fled" it. Or you "dispelled" it, as though it were a fog. This wasn't always easy to do; sometimes the boredom was just too thick, too "heavy." Trapped in the back of a car on a long road trip, stuck on a flight without a book or magazine, or seated beside a dull stranger at a formal social gathering, the best you could do to "lift" the boredom, to muster a bit of leverage against its mass, was to imagine that you were somewhere else (or perhaps even someone else), doing something else.
But suddenly, this old-fashioned trick has become unnecessary. Thanks to Twitter, iPads, BlackBerrys, voice-activated in-dash navigation systems, and a hundred other technologies that offer distraction anywhere, anytime, boredom has loosened its grip on us at last—that once-crushing "weight" has become, for the most part, a memory. Even the worst blind dates don't bore us now; we're never more than a click away from freedom, from an instantaneous change of conversation partners.
But what else has been lost? Creativity, just maybe. Because when one thinks about the matter—though we really have no reason to think about the matter, or to think about anything since boredom disappeared—the keypad and the touch screen now do the work that used to be the business of the daydream. Remember daydreams? No, of course you don't. How could you? Three new text messages have just arrived and another three, in a moment, will go out.

The ELD LTE is everything you need to be in compliance with the ELD Mandate. This is a one-time $169 fee. This includes the ELD hardwire and ELD APP.
GPS and track offers a basic ELD mandate solution for $169 that providers a clear application for drivers for the complex FMCSA hours of service requirements. This is effective December 2017.
This ELD service includes connecting to the engine and recording engine events and hour of service rules. Our ELD system is simple to use. There is very little interaction required other than signing on and off duty.
The ELD unit has been built to emulate the same process done by paper. The main ELD page even looks like the current paper logs.
Since the ELD solution doesn't require a data plan, it will save drivers hundreds of dollars per year. Our ELD APP will send logs to the inspectors via email at roadside inspections. This is required by FMCSA.
If you decide to install prior to December 2017, including a connection to the engine by the verification date, you can run AOBRD mode for up to 2 years. There are several advantages and disadvantages to this feature. AOBRD have been significant in the industry for many years. The functionality of AOBRD and ELD are very similar. There are differences too.
ELD stands for Electronic Logging Device. This electronic hardware device connects to the engine. Our ELD solution fulfills regulations and improves operations.
Are you compliant with the ELD mandate?
Part of the new eld mandate, requires all qualified drivers to log records of duty status electronically. Drivers must be compliant by December of 2017. The ELD device replaces all paper logbooks used with hours of service (HOS) with electronic records. GPS and track has a simple and affordable ELD solution with additional fees, ever!
So who needs to be ELD Compliant?
The ELD solution is needed for drivers who maintain paper RODS for 8 days or more during a 30-day period. Those drivers must have an ELD device.
We offer a simple solution for ELD. Our system is only $169 and there are no other fees, ever. This can be run as an AOBRD or ELD solution. This device can also be upgraded to our Pro platform. The ELD Pro has tons of additional features including GPS tracking and detailed reports.

Antonio Andrews seals win for Titans with 47-yard run
Jim Wyatt
jwyatt@tennessean.com
ATLANTA – Titans rookie running back Antonio Andrews knows he needs to take advantage of every opportunity he gets.
The former Western Kentucky star came through in the clutch on Saturday.
With the Titans leading the Atlanta Falcons 24-17 in the fourth quarter of their preseason game, the offense was faced with a third-and-1 at the Tennessee 13 with 56 seconds left. A first down would seal the victory.
Quarterback Zach Mettenberger handed the ball to Andrews, who charged into the clear for a 47-yard gain. Game over.
Mettenberger took a knee the next two plays to run out the Georgia Dome clock.
"It felt good," Andrews said. "It's been bottled up a long time, and to finally make a play, it feels great. Hopefully I opened some eyes up and I'll get more touches in the future."
Andrews finished with three carries for 56 yards, making him the team's leading rusher. He had only five yards on three carries in the the first two games combined.


Stephen Hawking's Last Words: We Live In 'The Matrix'?
As PBS concludes, some physicists point out that the Hawking-Hertog theory is preliminary and should be considered speculation until other mathematicians can replicate its equations.
Sabine Hossenfelder, a theoretical physicist with the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, said on her blog that the ideas put forward in this paper join others that are currently pure speculation and don't yet have any evidence to support them. She makes it clear that while the proposals aren't uninteresting, Hawking and Hertog haven't found a new way to detect the existence of universes other than our own.
"Stephen Hawking was beloved by everyone I know, both inside and outside the scientific community," she wrote.
Here is Ars Technica's John Timmer with more details on the holographic universe.
This article (Stephen Hawking's Last Words: We Live In 'The Matrix'?) was originally published on Zero Hedge and syndicated by The Event Chronicle.

Investors need not pay high fees for quality holdings. Fidelity Series Large Cap Growth Index (FHOFX) is the best ranked style mutual fund in Figure 1. FHOFX's Neutral Portfolio Management rating and 0.01% total annual cost earns it an Attractive rating. Deutsche DWS CROCI U.S. Fund (DCURX) is the best ranked style mutual fund overall. DCURX's Attractive Portfolio Management rating and 0.88% total annual cost earns it a Very Attractive rating.
On the other hand, Fidelity Small Cap Index (FSSNX) holds poor stocks and earns our Unattractive rating, yet has low total annual costs of 0.10%. No matter how cheap a mutual fund, if it holds bad stocks, its performance will be bad. The quality of a mutual fund's holdings matters more than its price.

Gunman in Tennessee Kroger shooting was asked to leave job earlier in day, police say

By: Kyle Hicks
COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. — The man suspected of shooting several people at a Kroger in Tennessee last Thursday was asked to leave his job at the grocery store earlier in the day, according to the Collierville Police Department.
One person was killed and 14 others were wounded when police say 29-year-old UK Thang opened fire at the Kroger on New Byhalia Rd. in Collierville, which is located outside of Memphis. Officers say the victims included 10 employees and five customers.
The suspect also died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
The police department provided an update on the shooting Monday, including some background on Thang.
"The shooter moved into the Town of Collierville in the summer of 2020. He was a third-party vendor working inside Kroger and was asked to leave his job the morning of Thursday, September 23, 2021," wrote police in a press release.
The Associated Press reports Thang worked in a sushi business at the Kroger store on a daily basis.
Police also gave an update on the shooting victims, saying there are four people remaining at a hospital in the area and all are listed in "stable condition."
The department says it's continuing to investigate the shooting alongside local, state and federal agencies to uncover more details.
Officers say they're still processing evidence, including electronics and crime scene vehicles. And they're interviewing other potential witnesses.
The store remains closed. The Town of Collierville and Kroger officials will meet in the coming days to discuss the reopening process, police say.

Hulk Hogan Confirms He Will Be At WWE Crown Jewel In Saudi Arabia
by H Jenkinson October 24, 2018 at 2:19 pm
WWE's Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia has received a lot of press for the wrong reason. As the event gets closer, it seems like more and more people are coming out and advising WWE against throwing the huge Saudi Arabian show. But apparently, Hulk Hogan is more than happy to go.
Hulk Hogan recently spoke to the Orlando Sentinel where he confirmed that he is looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with WWE.
"There are a lot of plans in the works. I'm looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania — but yeah, we're moving forward at a rapid pace. It's exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone."
Whether Hogan actually goes to Saudi Arabia is another matter entirely, because we've been hearing a lot of rumors that WWE is working to move the show's location. But no matter where Crown Jewel is moved to, we're willing to bet that Hogan will be enthusiastic about going anywhere so he can be in a WWE ring once more.
This news was first confirmed by Joe Peisich on Barnburner's No Holds Barred podcast as we previously reported on in late September. Only time will tell what happens next as WWE's situation with the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia seems to be getting even more complicated. But at least The Hulkster is looking forward to going.

Pastor kidnapped in church after evening service
By Anietie Akpan, Calaba
[FILE] Calabar
Kidnappers on Wednesday night struck in Cross River when they abducted the General Overseer of the Bible Christian Crusade Mission (BCCM), in Calabar, Pastor Joseph Okoro.
He was whisked away in his vehicle from the church premises located at 55, Webber Street, by Elijah Henshaw in Calabar South, immediately after the evening service.
Church members who witnessed the incident said efforts were made by members to stop the kidnappers but were asked by the pastor not to fight as the kidnappers pulled out guns. According to eyewitnesses, the kidnappers disguised as church members and waited until the church programme was over before going for the pastor.
An eyewitness, who narrated the incident, said: "They came in as members. After the programme, the pastor went to his office, and as he was about to leave and move to his car to go home, the kidnappers approached him. Some people tried to struggle with them but they brought out guns and threatened to shoot anyone who interfered. They told everybody to lie down. The pastor asked the people not to struggle, that he would go with them."
One of the worshipers, Peter Eze, said: "Calabar is no longer safe, how can kidnappers come to a church to abduct a pastor? We are not safe; the government should do something about the insecurity. Cars are stolen everyday; we are in trouble even in the house of God. May God help us."
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Irene Ugbo, confirmed the kidnap, saying "the Anti-Kidnapping unit of the police is working on it".
Meanwhile, suspected ritualists have seized a 13-day old child at Uro Quarters in Akoko Northwest local government area of Ondo State on Wednesday night.
The development, which has thrown the sleepy town into confusion, happened at night when two masked men entered the house.
Sources said the mother of the baby had slept off, but they went inside to kidnap the child.
It was learnt that an elderly woman who woke up possibly to rescue the child was macheted by the hoodlums. Consequently, the community has embarked on combing the bushes, praying to recover the abducted baby.
A neighbour, who spoke in confidence, said there was no mutual love between the couple whose child was stolen.
The monarch of Uro-Ajowa, Oba Ade Ipinmoroti, was not around but the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) for Okeagbe, Adetaranmi Ibitayo, a Superintendent of Police (SP), confirmed the incident.
According to him, he personally visited the scene of the incident at Ajowa Akoko. He said police have started investigation and will get to the root of the matter.

Guyana opens border crossing with Brazil from Mondays to Fridays
Guyanese government announced that it is opening its border crossing (The Takutu Bridge) with Brazil from Mondays to Fridays, under the revised national emergency COVID-19 guidelines.
The bridge was closed for more than one year in order to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. As per the older guidelines, the people were only allowed to cross the border on Fridays.
The health minister of Guyana – Dr Frank Anthony, while addressing the media during a press conference, cited, "This opening from Monday to Friday would allow for people to come across once they are able to produce their vaccination to show that they are fully vaccinated and that they have an antigen test or a negative RT-PCR test that is negative".
The closure of the border crossing ignited protest in Brazil during the month of September, demanding the measures to be lifted, after which the discussions were held between Guyanese and Brazilian authorities to discuss how both the nations can "enable the safe movement of people and goods during the COVID-19 outbreak".
The flights between the two nations have also been halted following the viral infection.
Brazil was among the nations that reported the highest infections of the COVID-19 virus, following which the decision was taken to shut the crossing border between both countries.
Takutu River Bridge:
Takutu is a bridge across the Takutu River, which links Lethem in Guyana to Bonfim in Brazil. It was completed in the year 2009 & opened on 31 July 2009. Its official inauguration was on – 14 September 2009, in the presence of leaders of both nations.
An Amount of – US$5 million was invested in making the bridge crossing. The bridge was a project within the – Initiative for the Integration of the Regional Infrastructure of – South America.
The bridge is the only example in the Americas of a land border where drivers must change from driving on the left – (in Guyana) to driving on the right (in Brazil) or vice versa. The changeover is achieved by the means of a crossover bridge on the Guyanese side.
