The very idea of going to the dentist used to bring the images of sterile offices, clinical smells, and strange, painful drill-like tools whose sound still makes you shudder when you remember it. However, with new technology in medicine and dentistry, things are changing and growing. Most clinics now invest in incredible, high-tech tools and techniques that are bringing about a new age in dental hygiene, and rather than just fixing caries and giving people braces, a dentist can now do a whole plethora of cool things. From aesthetics to practicality, take a look at some of the latest procedures you can get.
We all know those painful pokes that the dentist administers with a sharp little tool to check for cavities. Every "Ow!" means there's something off with our tooth, but today's methods are a lot less painful, and a lot more accurate. With a laser diode that's inserted into our mouth, the doctor can check for inflammations and cavities. Not only that, the lasers can take care of the blackened bits without the drill, and after that, you can have your teeth fillings with a lot less fuss involved. For people who are afraid of the pain and hate the long, achy time they need to spend at the clinic just to fix a tooth, this innovation will make them very happy. And hey, no more excuse for them not to go and get that tooth mended!
Possibly one of the most practical things that has ever happened when it comes to keeping a patient's personal medical history in check. Rather than radiography, digital scanners are now slowly becoming the norm because they are cheaper, faster, and there's no longer any need to be limited to only one physical copy that the patient has to take with them every time they go for a checkup. It takes only a few seconds to make a digital copy, and then it can be stored on any computer or flash drive, or even be sent to someone's email per request. This makes it a lot easier to monitor dental conditions and recovery after procedures, and it also makes it easier to have a neat medical anamnesis.
Dental veneers are one of the best ways to deal with crooked or yellowing teeth without the use of braces, but they used to be quite thick and unwieldy (not to mention unnatural-looking). Luckily, Aussies have contributed to revolutionizing this method, and now we can make much better, thinner moldings for the teeth. For example, going to Melbourne for porcelain veneers fitting is a popular way of creating a look of naturally straight, white teeth, and these thin shells are comfortable and can give patients their confidence back. More than just aesthetics, these can be used to fix worn-down or slightly crooked teeth, so patients with minor issues now have a great solution to turn to.
Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture are no longer something only artists and architects can use in their profession. For dentists, it's an amazing tool that lets them scan patient's teeth and create 3D crowns in a very short amount of time. A lot less hand molding and sculpting is needed to make a perfect crown. All sorts of restorative procedures are available with the new technology, and while CAD/CAM are not exactly new (they've been around since the 80s), now their usage is more widespread and more effective.
Filling and bonding materials used in the past were a bit of a hit-and-miss. They had the tendency to degrade quickly without proper care, the color was always off, and they would often fall out and need replacing. Today, the plastic resin that is used is of much higher quality, adheres better, and is generally a lot easier to match to patient's teeth and look completely seamless and natural once inserted.
It's really great to know about the new technological improvements we have around. For patients, the experience of going to the dentist is now generally a lot less frightening, and every single clinic puts patient comfort and satisfaction on their priority list. Keeping up to date with the new tech and investing in these modern procedures it the key to success, so enjoy researching them and keep learning more every day.


The Togepi Paradise (Japanese: トゲピーの楽園 Togepy's Paradise) is an anime-exclusive location in Hoenn. It was featured in A Togepi Mirage!.
The Togepi Paradise and Mirage Kingdom help to defend each other, and the former is also revered as a place of worship by the Mirage Kingdom. It is the birthplace of all of the world's Togepi, and it is where they go after completing their life's mission; to make the world a happier place.
Miranda knew a great deal about the location, and accompanied Princess Sara's father prior to his coronation. After being transported to the Togepi Paradise alongside Princess Sara, Ash, and his friends, she was shocked to see that its green landscape was quickly disappearing. She explained that the Togepi Paradise can only be ruled by a person with a pure heart. If the paradise was ruled by someone with an impure heart, such as Colonel Hansen, the paradise would wither. This paradise is currently protected by Misty's Togetic.

Police Officer Shot in the Chest Says Bible in His Pocket Saved His Life
Lori Arnold | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Friday, November 15, 2019
#positive headlines
#miracle
A Bolivian police officer who was shot in the chest during civil unrest over the ousting of Bolivia's now-former president Evo Morales said he was saved by a Bible tucked into his left breast pocket.
"Yes, it was a miracle," the unnamed officer, a devout Christian, told Bolivian media.
Pictures of the Bible appeared in local media and on a Spanish-language Facebook post chronicling the incident. The front of the blue Bible shows a small hole about the size of a pencil eraser. An exit hole on the back cover is larger and shows several pieces of its pages torn and dangling from the damage. The officer also carried brass knuckles in the pocket, which was broken in half by the bullet.
Oscar Gutierrez, head of the Special Force of the Fight Against Crime of Santa Cruz, said the officer was part of a contingent of law enforcement trying to restore order in the town of Yapacani on Wednesday when he was "shot by a projectile" believed to be a 9mm round.
"He is a young officer whose life was saved miraculously, he was shot by a projectile," Gutierrez declared, adding the patrolman "had a Bible that stopped the projectile."
The police supervisor said the uninjured officer was taken to a Santa Cruz hospital for routine tests and was expected to return to work soon.
The skirmishes in Yapacani were part of nationwide protests following an apparent military coup against President Evo Morales, who fled to Mexico. His supporters began protesting in the capital city of La Paz just hours after the swearing-in ceremony for interim president Jeanine Anez and her new cabinet. The violent clashes spread to other cities, including Yapacani, located in the eastern region of Bolivia, about 450 miles from La Paz. Police in Yapacani were reportedly working to open a main road in the city when the officer was shot.
"I know the weapons used were stolen from the Bolivian police," Gutierrez told reporters.
Protesters are also believed to be using tear gas stolen from law enforcement.

This year, I once again had the pleasure of working with our seniors through the Life After College program. For the second year now, we hosted 3 different workshops throughout the Spring semester, culminating in Senior Night on May 11, 2016. The first workshop in February focused on financial topics, ranging from budgeting to insurance. In March, the second workshop revolved around how to find a church community after graduating. In the last workshop, we talked about how to live missionally in the workplace.
Going into the planning of Senior Night, we had several goals in mind: First of all, we wanted to have fun. This group of seniors was special; the impact they have had is sure to last for years to come. After serving so faithfully for many years, we wanted to make sure they felt loved and celebrated for their hard work and for God's provision, bringing them through college and/or graduate school. Also, we've noticed that the end of the school year can be very hectic, with all the last minute projects, exams, final "hang outs" with friends, etc. This often leaves little room for quiet reflection and time with God. Because of that, another big goal of Senior Night was to provide space and time for the seniors to get away and spend time with God.
Once the night finally came, it was a great success! We had 17 seniors and 8 staff come out that night to join in the fun, food, memories, teaching, worship, reflection, and group discussion. We even had a special visit from the Hokie Bird himself! The theme for the night was "Be Strong and Courageous", taken from the words in Joshua 1. We talked about how to trust God, remain obedient, and "gather our provisions" for the next season of life. When the night came to a close, we knew it wouldn't be a trip to Camp Tuk-a-way without a campfire and s'mores.
As the flames faded away from the campfire that night, one season was ending. The Class of 2016 had finished. They had run the race set before them, remaining faithful to the task of growing God's Kingdom at Virginia Tech. But as that season has ended, a new one has begun for them. They are now taking the things they learned with us at NLCF and Virginia Tech, and moving on. They are starting new chapters in their lives and working to make disciples of Jesus…this time, all over the world.
To the seniors, we thank you. Our church and this community will deeply miss you, but we wish you the best of luck in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
You've always got a family here in Blacksburg. Don't hesitate to stop by and say hello!


UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Speech & Debate Society made history at the annual Pennsylvania Forensic Association (PFA) Championship Tournament held Feb. 20-21 at Lafayette College.
Seckin Kara, a freshman science pre-major, won the state championship in impromptu speaking. According to PFA records, this is the first championship that Penn State has won in decades at the state tournament. Seckin was also a semifinalist in parliamentary debate and finished third in the after dinner speaking category.
and Adrianne Kubiak, freshman information science major, finalist in dramatic interpretation.
The team's impressive showing represents an important step in its growth. "Penn State used to be very dominant before the team was disbanded in the early 2000s," said Collin Warren, who is also the society's president.
Collin thinks this win will "create momentum" the team needs for next month's Pi Kappa Delta National Comprehensive Tournament at the University of Kentucky and into the future.
Growing the team will be difficult given its limited funds; but, with more success, its coaches and members are optimistic that they will be able to secure more funding to involve more students.

Psychedelic Science - Between Personal Growth, Autonomy, and (Over-) Medicalization
Monday, November 25, 18:30 - 19:45, University of Zurich, KO2-F-150 (PLEASE NOTE DIFFERENT LECTURE HALL)
Dr. Larissa J. Maier
Postdoc at the Department of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
The resurgence of interest in psychedelic substances for mental health and substance use disorder treatment in recent years has opened the doors for dialogues related to potential benefits and harms. The Global Drug Survey 2019 has shown that people who had previously used psychedelic substances were more likely to consider these substances to assist psychotherapy when compared to those without such an experience. A low dose of LSD or psilocybin was the preferred choice when offered alongside other substances and different doses. While mental health is the gateway to psychedelic medicine, recreational use of psychedelic substances to seek altered states of mind that may or may not be associated with spirituality and personal growth is still the most prevalent form of use as of today. In the U.S., several cities have launched educational campaigns such as Decriminalize Nature that aim to decriminalize entheogenic plants and to restore humans' root connection to nature to improve health and well-being. This presentation will discuss how these developments fit within the broader context of drug policy reform and how future policies should conceptualize safe spaces for the use of psychedelic substances both in recreational and therapeutic settings. Finally, a critical reflection will assess how to prevent that (over-)medicalization negatively impacts the autonomy of marginalized communities.
Larissa Maier received her Ph.D. from the University of Zurich at the Swiss Research Institute for Public Health and Addiction (ISGF). In 2017, she was appointed as a consultant in Drug Use Epidemiology at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Vienna. Larissa is a member of the Core Research Team of Global Drug Survey (GDS) aiming to make drug use safer, regardless of the legal status of the drug. She is currently leading the Science Policy Group (SPG) and the Psychedelic and Entheogen Academic Council (PEAC) at UCSF and is a member of the U.S. National Science Policy Network (NSPN). In addition, she serves on several committees to facilitate international relations, diversity, and early career networks at the European Society of Prevention Research (EUSPR), the International Society of Substance Use Professionals (ISSUP), the International Society for the Study of Drug Policy (ISSDP), the Society for Prevention Research (SPR), and the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD).

Solo certified in U.S. market:
On the heels of announcing it won U.S. certification in May, Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp. of Vancouver, Canada, delivered its first Solo single-passenger electric commuter vehicle to an unidentified customer in Los Angeles, Calif. Legally regarded as a motorcycle, the fully enclosed three-wheeled Solo has a 100-mile range between charges and sells for about US $15,500, reports Automotive News Canada. Until now, Electra Meccanica's Solo sales were restricted to the province of British Columbia — home to Vancouver — as it awaited wider Canadian and U.S. certification for road use. "To be federally certified in the United States now opens the Solo to the biggest electric-vehicle market in North America," said company CEO Jerry Kroll. Electra Meccanica is also developing the Tofino two-seat electric sports car and a faster, higher-range Solo.
The three-wheeled electric Solo car is legally regarded as a motorcycle and sells for about $15,500.

Grit, Jam and Fluff
Geoff Jeffreys has turned atomic theory on its head by throwing out the standard model of particle physics and replacing it with a scheme in which only three particles are needed - elements which he has named Grit, Jam and Fluff.
"When you come down to it, most things are made up of just grit and fluff," he tells us. "Of course, you can't see these with the naked eye. You can't even see it with the microscope that my aunt bought me for Christmas, but by taping a couple of magnifying glasses together and fixing them to the end of my brother's telescope I found that I was able to determine the very building blocks of matter itself. And it's just grit and fluff. Seriously.
"Okay, occasionally you might see a bit of jam in there if you're looking at something particularly exotic, like a wasp's nest or a bit of trifle, but mostly it's just the grit and the fluff. Makes sense really, because when you look at the universe - as I do from time to time - it's fairly obvious that the planets are all made of grit and the stars and supernovas and gas clouds and stuff are mostly fluff with bits of jam. Simple. Right, so where's my Nobel Prize?"

World Water Day – Why waste water?
March 22, 2017 Author: Henri T Huni
Today the world commemorates World Water day. The United Nations General Assembly declared March 22 World Water Day following the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development which recommended that a day be set aside to help focus attention on issues that affected freshwater availability and management across the globe and since 1993, the world has been observing World Water Day.
Each year, the United Nations selects a theme to guide countries in commemorating the day and this year the theme is Water and Wastewater. The theme draws the attention of policy makers and other players in the water sector to the vast opportunities and benefits that can accrue from better management of wastewater.
In most parts of the world, Zimbabwe included, huge amounts of wastewater are released back into the environment, largely into freshwater bodies such as rivers and dams, without being recycled, treated or reused. The United Nations estimate that 80% of such wastewater finds its way back into the ecosystem and in most cases end up polluting the freshwater bodies into which it is released.
The Zimbabwe National Water Authority, being the Government's lead agency for water resources management, in joining the rest of the world in marking World Water Day, wishes to draw the attention of Zimbabweans to the various issues that continue to affect water provision and availability in the country. In terms of wastewater management, ZINWA remains greatly worried about the huge amounts of wastewater that ends up into water bodies untreated. Cases of raw sewer flowing into rivers and dams across the country continue to be recorded, posing a real and credible threat to freshwater availability in the country. Dams such as Khami Dam in Bulawayo and Rufaro Dam in Marondera are some of the dams that the Authority has been forced to decommission due to heavy pollution largely from untreated sewer effluent. The Authority therefore takes the World Water Day occasion to call upon local authorities and industry to take serious and urgent steps to ensure that their wastewater is treated or is reused before it can be allowed to flow back into the environment.
On this occasion, ZINWA also reminds water users across the board that water remains a scarce and finite resource which need to be efficiently used if optimal rewards are to be reaped. The Authority therefore appeals to all water users to practice water conservation in their respective areas of use. This can be done through reusing wastewater from the swimming pools and kitchens for non drinking purposes such as watering gardens, flowers, lawns and where possible cleaning of vehicles and pavements. Users are also encouraged to seriously reduce the amount of wastewater they produce in their households by timely repairing leaking taps, bathing using buckets instead of the shower, brushing their teeth using water from mugs or tumblers as opposed to running taps and practicing rainwater harvesting. Individually and collectively, we can realise huge gains through water conservation which in turn helps us reduce wastewater.
ZINWA also calls upon the generality of water users to take World Water Day to reflect on water as both a social and economic good. The need to view water provision as both a social and economic activity remains paramount. In most cases, ZINWA, local authorities and other players in the water provision chain have battled to collect money from water users, resulting in their water provision capabilities being hamstrung. It is therefore incumbent upon water users to fully appreciate the need for them to honour their water bills and pay for the services they receive from water providers. It is only when users play their part, that service can be guaranteed. When users fail to pay for the water they receive, it becomes highly difficult for service providers keep their operations afloat.
So as we commemorate World Water Day, these are some of the issues that we need to seriously reflect on. ZINWA will always play its part as mandated by the relevant legislative provision and calls for closer cooperation between itself and other stakeholders in water resources management. We owe it to the coming generations to leave behind a solid and sustainable water resources base.

I do appreciate the great work you are doing Sir and your team as citizens we will do ur best to save water and save life


Relief International / EnterpriseWorks VITA (RI/EWV), with funding from the Gates Foundation, is undertaking a 5-year learning and pilot project to determine if rainwater harvesting could be commercially promoted on a wide-scale across Uganda and regionally across Eastern Africa. RI/EWV uses an enterprise approach that works with the private sector to develop the right product at the right price point, and develops a marketing and promotional strategy that can result in a sustainable supply chain.
In order to determine if this approach would be feasible for domestic rainwater harvesting, a project was developed with two phases: a learning phase and a pilot project phase. The project is currently in its third year with the Domestic Rain Water Harvesting system currently being tested in 150 households across 12 rural villages in Uganda. The purpose of field testing is twofold: to monitor the technical performance of the product and improve the design in response to client feedback at an early stage; and secondly, to understand local acceptance for and impact of the product.
At a 2010 conference during World Water Week in Stockholm, RI Technical Director Jon Naugle and RI Uganda Program Manager Tom Opio-Oming presented RI's Domestic Rainwater Harvesting Pilot Project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As part of this session, RI unveiled the new Rainwater Bag, an innovative, low cost rainwater storage product that holds more than 300 gallons and will retail in Uganda for around $50.
Domestic rainwater harvesting can have a huge positive impact on people's lives. It alleviates the drudgery of collecting water from distant and often polluted sources - and in some parts of the world, rainwater harvesting may actually be the only alternative for improving water supplies. In Uganda the concept of paying for water is becoming increasingly accepted, so investment in domestic rainwater harvesting has an economic incentive. While the level of access to safe water is reported to be high (roughly 60 percent in rural areas), the convenience of access is low, with water sources often hundreds of meters below the homesteads at springs in the valleys.
Domestic rainwater harvesting refers to the collection, storage, and use of rainwater at the household level. Given the variable but ubiquitous rainfall in most of the developing world, the dispersed nature of rural settlements, and challenges of serving urban areas, domestic rainwater harvesting is an ideal way of providing access to safe water directly at people's homes.

Test equipment can be integrated into assembly systems, stand alone systems for automatic testing, or manual test benches.
Evansville, Indiana - Evana Automation Specialists, a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries (PSI) and leading Systems Integrator and builder of custom, automated assembly and test systems, recently delivered two lean workstations that assemble, grease, mark and test input pinion assemblies for a Tier 1 automotive supplier of commercial steering components.
The first station assembles an input pinion to a T-bar, which involves pressing a bushing into the pinion, installing an O-ring, greasing the O-ring and assembling the pinion into the T-bar. The second station uses a deflection test to verify that the bushing is present, pin stamp information to the assembly and debur a hole in the assembly. Both stations offer complete traceability of the parts, including verification that the correct tooling and components are being utilized throughout the process.
"Evana was delighted to improve efficiency and implement quality control measurements for this repeat customer," said Randy Wire, General Manager of Evana Automation Specialists. "Our solutions help manufacturers all over the world, in a wide range of industries, achieve the highest levels of efficiency for their production projects."


Exercising regularly may just be the much-sought-after key to a long life. A new review of findings of 40 studies published in the last four years concluded that exercising regularly can cut the risk of about two dozen physical and mental health conditions, from cancer to dementia. "What is clear from the research is that men and women of all ages should be encouraged to be more physically active for the sake of their long-term health," lead author Leslie Alford, a physiotherapist and lecturer at the University of East Anglia in the U.K., said in a statement.
Alford studied 40 papers published between 2006 and 2010 and looked at the impact of exercise on cancer, heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, type 2 diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, among other ailments. He found that other than abstaining from smoking, physical activity is the best medicine a person can take to improve health and longevity.
"Physical inactivity results in widespread pathophysiological changes to our bodies," said Alford. "It appears that our bodies have evolved to function optimally on a certain level of physically activity that many of us simply do not achieve in our modern, sedentary lifestyles." Exercising can not only make us healthier and stronger, giving us protection against a variety of problems, but it also delays the body's age-related decline, the findings showed.
"It's the universal repair," longevity and wellness guru Dr. Walter M. Bortz, author of "Living Longer for Dummies," told AOL Health. "When you're fit, your immune system is better. Everything is better." Bortz said exercise has been shown to be so beneficial in part because it triggers the release of a powerful protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. "It's a growth hormone for the brain," Bortz said. "It's hot -- it influences everything. Here is this marvelous chemical that gets triggered by exercise."
But for some, it seems, good health and a long life are simply a matter of good fortune. "The literature reviewed shows that how long people live and how healthy they are depends on a complex mix of factors, including their lifestyle, where they live and even luck," Alford said.
Still, the research found a strong link between health and factors that people can control like exercise, diet, smoking and obesity.
- Moderate to intense physical activity on a regular basis is linked to a lower risk of stroke and coronary heart disease.
- Exercise seems to reduce the chance of developing certain cancers including colon and prostate cancer, as well as type 2 diabetes, depression, obesity, hypertension and osteoporosis.
- Physical activity is associated with lower cancer death rates.
- Walking or cycling for at least a half an hour a day reduces the risk of cancer; up to an hour can lower the chance of getting cancer by 16 percent.
- Sexual dysfunction problems in men happen less often in those who exercise frequently.
- Physical activity seems to decrease the risk of dementia in the elderly.
As much of an advocate as he is for exercise, Bortz doesn't think there is enough evidence to support the theory that it can help prevent cancer. "That's pushing it," he said.
Alford suggests that health adults aged 18 to 65 should try 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week, like 30-minute brisk walks each day. Those who exercise more vigorously should try 20 minutes three days a week. He also recommends two weekly strength-training sessions. For the elderly, balance and flexibility exercises are also a good idea. "Ideally, to gain maximum health benefits people should exercise, not smoke, eat a healthy diet and have a body mass index of less than 25" Alford said. "The more of these healthy traits an individual has, the less likely they are to develop a range of chronic disorders."


Berit Kjos is a fundamentalist Christian author who has written several books. She runs the website Kjos Ministries, and has also worked with Cutting Edge Ministries.
One of the main draws to Kjos' site was originally her body of work attacking popular culture, although she eventually curtailed these articles around the mid-2000s. Unusually, Kjos took requests from her readers, and so alongside popular targets such as Harry Potter, Dungeons and Dragons and Pokemon she denounced less frequently-attacked productions, including Dragonball Z and the Spider-Man film.
Harry and his friends... model how to lie and steal and get away with it. Their examples only add to the cultural relativism embraced by most children today who are honest when it doesn't cost anything, but who lie and cheat when it serves their purpose."
Around the world, people are being trained in UNESCO ideology. They learn to resist contrary (politically incorrect) facts at every stage in life, for UNESCO's "lifelong learning" means cradle-to-grave mind control. Year after year, compliant human ants will practice the habit of following crowds led by well trained facilitators, managers, and media moguls. A key part of this social transformation is "praxis" -- a concept central to Soviet brainwashing.
In the end, Kjos' articles on popular entertainment are usually pretty much interchangeable, beginning with minor variations of "it's got magic and vampires and stuff in it, so grrr" before descending into lengthy filibusters about left-wing economic policies and the state of contemporary education. The real gems on her site, then, are to be found in the letters section.
The British media is - especially the BBC - in the hands of extremist liberal immoral atheistic fascists. Dont believe the lies about independence ; it is tied to the coat tails of the Labour Party, Labour/ Trades Unions and positive discrimination industry. This tide of effluent entered into all structures of the media, local and national government, Civil Service and Education during the 1980's when Margret Thatcher was in power).
Teletubbies is the simple outcome of Bolshevism, and the ideas of Leon Trotsky in particular.
Fundies Say the Darndest Things has racked up an impressive collection of Kjos Ministries quotes, mostly from her readers.
Misato wasn't forgiven. She paid the ultimate price, like you probably would have wanted. Justice, right? Well, I hope it makes you happy to know that justice has been done in your eyes. Because someone has to come out of all this happy, and it's not me. Every night I cry thinking of her final moments in this world. Every morning I wake up, and the world's still there, but it's like there's this little part of it that will always be empty, cold, dark, colorless.
So I do hope you are happy that your God has done his justice. Be proud, for your battle is won, and upon your shoulders rest the corpses of the slain for all eternity. Amen.
From reading the above, you would be forgiven for thinking that Misato was this person's wife or daughter. In actual fact, she is a fictional character from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.
When you've managed to make Berit Kjos look like one of the less nutty people in the room, then something has clearly gone horribly wrong.
Kjos' bibliography includes Under the Spell of Mother Earth, condemning the occulting undercurrent of the environmentalist movement; Your Child and the New Age, a Turmoil in the Toybox wannabe; and A Twist of Faith, attacking feminist influences on religion.
Best of all is The Invisible War, a novel for children. It stars two boys named Tom and Peter who live in the Kingdom of Troth, and shows how they were lured away from the King (representing God) by the Baron (Satan, obviously) after they and their secular friend Colin find a secret tunnel filled with fantasy novels, books on astrology, role-playing games and a ouija board. After encounters with the Baron's servants Odin and Rama, and a bizarre chapter in which Colin becomes demonically possessed, the children abandon morally and intellectually bankrupt fantasy fiction forever and instead dedicate their lives to the Holy Bible.

49-Year Old Combat Wounded Veteran Seeking First MMA Bout
Combat Wounded Veteran Looking For a Fight
Terrence Devine is looking to cross an item off his bucket list.
The 49-year old U.S. Army Veteran is seeking to compete in his first mixed martial arts competition.
Because of his age not many states will grant Devine permission to take part in a sanctioned contest.
Throw in the fact that some of the injuries he sustained during combat might immediately disqualify him before steps foot in a cage.
On January 19, 2012 while in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Devine was traveling back from the Regional Training Center when a suicide bomber blew himself up, injuring Devine in the process.
"I hospitalized and went through therapy for over seven or eight months," Devine said.
"My head was split open, C1 and C7 fractures, right leg fracture, right arm fracture, eight broken ribs, flail chest and collapsed lung," he said.
"I went flat line and died six times altogether between the vehicle I was blown up in, the vehicle that transported me, the helicopter that transported me, and in Kandahar Air Base Hospital.
"I woke up three days after the incident and the coma state that I was in," Devine recalled.
Now, several years after the attack that almost took his life, Devine is back in the fight.
Finding a mixed martial arts fight has not been an easy task, thus he has been willing to take the risk and compete in his first fight outside of the country.
In order to help him achieve his goal Devine has set up a GoFundMe to help cover travel costs and cover training expenses for a camp at Jackson-Wink in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Devine teaches a program he calls D.A.M.O., or Defense Against Multiple Opponents.
For the past decade Devine has been instructing hand to hand combat oversees.
"My teaching has been on striking with minimal groundwork because mine is reality training not traditional," said Devine.
He is currently training at Pocono Gym in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, and also with UFC strawweight Claudia Gadelha and coach Don Cioffi at American Strikers and Claudia Gadelha MMA in Randolph, New Jersey.

Selfless Boy Buys Meals for Families with Sick Children
By Katie Muse
Photos: CHOA
ATLANTA - A little boy with a huge heart is giving back in a big way this Christmas.
Jerry Hatcher Junior woke up before dawn on Thursday, put on his finest dress clothes and had his parents drive him to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). The hospital said for the third year in a row, he has earned and saved money all year long to do something special for families with sick children.
Jerry, with a wad of cash, posted up in the hospital's cafeteria.
"He hid behind our cash registers and each time a patient's family member grabbed their wallet, he jumped out, pulled cash from his pocket and wished them a merry Christmas," CHOA said on Facebook.
According to CHOA, Jerry is on a mission to bring cheer to the families because he knows what it's like to live in the hospital after almost losing his little brother to illness.
"This young man brought tears to my eyes this morning when he so graciously purchased breakfast for my husband and me. We have been here at CHOA with our 4 month old for the last few days - and have been very emotional and overwhelmed. The selfless action of this young man this morning brought so much joy to my heart," said Brandi Lukacsko on Facebook.
"Many hugs and happy tears ensued. There's no doubt the spirit of the season found us today," CHOA said.

Focusing on the paradox of embodiment/ disembodiment in virtual space, and on the recent history of Net Art, this article proposes to go back to Roy Ascott's metaphor of the 'telematic embrace' in order to examine different artistic and theoretical approaches to online affectivity. While the first generation of artists who founded the net.art movement was openly fascinated by the novelty of cyberspace as a medium, currently artists are adopting online tools to produce also offline works, revealing the presence of Internet culture in contemporary society instead of focusing on the nature of the medium in itself. In this scenario, marked by the current Post-Internet discourse, real and virtual worlds overlap, and hybrid artistic forms emerge. But are Net artists still reinterpreting the idea of virtual embrace? Or have they moved away from a romantic stance, highlighting the perils of the digital revolution in the so-called Post-Digital age? Adopting a phenomenological perspective, this essay aims to address these questions, exploring the paradox of affectivity in contemporary networked cultures through the analysis of emblematic artworks.

Dumb Things to Say to Black People
"Oh stewardess, I speak jive." It was a hilarious line from the 1980 movie Airplane spoken by Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver) of Leave It to Beaver fame. She intervened to translate for a flight attendant that could not understand two black passengers.
It was funny, but the premise that black people spoke differently and needed interpreters was insulting to some blacks.
Many whites inadvertently insult or offend blacks when attempting to compliment or comment on race matters. Even if a comment is spoken innocently and without malice, it can still be a dumb thing to say to or about black people.
The backhanded "articulate" compliment is one example of a dumb thing to say to or about a black person. "You speak well" is not a compliment. When Vice President Joe Biden was a senator, he found himself at the center of a racial controversy involving then Senator Barack Obama. Regarding Obama's candidacy for president, Biden said, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."
Many blacks were offended by most of Biden's comments, however let's concentrate on the articulate part. It permeates an attitude that the black norm is lacking in proper grammar or diction. To compliment one person, the entire black race should not be insulted because someone's paradigm of blacks is through stereotypical movie roles, rappers or news coverage in impoverished areas where a bystander inarticulately describes an altercation.
"Blacks are naturally athletic" is also a dumb thing to say due to the racial undercurrent. The notion that, by virtue of skin color, someone is physically more capable is nonsense and insulting.
In 1988 sportscaster Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder was fired when he basically said blacks are better athletes. If blacks are indeed better athletes, then what does it imply about their other capabilities? What is their presumed weakness? Intelligence, creativity, ingenuity?
What strength do whites possess? Asians? Hispanics? Does it follow that the "gifted" area possessed by one race is not adequately represented in another race?
It implies the physical arena is the "gifted" area in which blacks can excel. This led to blacks not being considered for the "thinking" positions in sports like quarterback, coach or manager for quite a period of time.
Thankfully, things have changed, but this "naturally athletic" model has led to the slippery slope of racism and discrimination.
One of the more volatile dumb things a white person can say is "There are blacks, and there are "N" words." This statement, or any statement using the "N" word, is inappropriate regardless of audience (unless you are comedian Chris Rock on tour in front of a predominately black audience).
Given the racial history of America, the word is too emotionally and racially loaded to attempt usage. Well meaning whites normally make this faux pas when they know and feel a kinship with blacks. Singer songwriter John Mayer was attempting to show his comfort and credibility with the hip hop community when he uttered the "N" word in an interview. It was not long before he discovered he had erred and said a very dumb thing.
Unthinking and ill-conceived statements can alienate friends or incite arguments. Don't make assumptions or generalize about an entire group of people because if you do, you may find you've just said a dumb thing.
And for the record, no Mrs. Cleaver, not all blacks speak or understand jive.

Flamenca () is a 13th-century anonymous romance, written in the Occitan language in Occitania.

Most literary allusions in the text are from Old French sources.

The author

A certain Sir Bernardet may have been the author, however the Bernardet mentioned may simply be the fictional narrator. Nothing is known for certain about the author; however, a number of things may be inferred from the circumstances of the text itself. The author was probably not a minstrel, but rather a cleric, most likely in the service of the Roquefeuil family at the court of Alga, and may have written the romance at the Benedictine monastery at Nant, Aveyron, and was erudite and may have even studied at the University of Paris. The author was probably a native of Rouergue, based on linguistic similarities in the language used in the romance and that of the region.

In popular culture
Spanish singer Rosalía based her 2018 album El Mal Querer on Flamenca. Every song was named after a chapter from the book.

Lots of backpedaling here… She says "…the right people were right for the wrong reason…" and asks "Why did some states recover faster?" but provides no answers.
I recall early in the exercise someone (maybe right here at TCJ) pointing out that an N95 mask filters particles at the 0.3micron level (300 nanometers) but that the Covid virus was only 84 nanometers. In other words, Covid goes through an N95 mask like sand through a cyclone fence. Everybody (including Fauci) has known that since the beginning.
As for the states that recovered faster, those would be the states that let (or encouraged) people to take independent action — as if believing those people would act in their own enlightened best interests. Amazing!
Small-scale studies of HCQ and IVM were regularly denigrated and suppressed by TPTB, and there can be but a single reason for that suppression: $$$$.

Charting Routes to Conservation
A recce cum training workshop with the homestays in Mandala Phudung Khellong Community Conserved Area in Western Arunachal Landscape

The pristine locales of Tawang and West Kameng in Arunachal Pradesh attract a vast number of tourists every year. These serene expanses of wilderness also fall under WWF-India's Western Arunachal Landscape (WAL)- embodying a stunning array of biodiversity, gorgeous landscape, a rich variety of indigenous communities and snow-clad mountains. Enchanted by the beautiful visages, the influx of tourists in these areas creates a variety of livelihood opportunities for the indigenous communities, which if left unregulated, could inflict considerable damage on the ecosystem and the biodiverse species of flora and fauna.
The landscape is not only a vital stronghold for these local communities but is also home to the elusive red panda and snow leopard that share the land with 13 other threatened and vulnerable species of vertebrates, in a forest that possesses over 5000 species of flowering plants, including 32 species of rhododendrons. Here, 81% of the state's area is covered in forests, and more than 60% of it falls under the rights and ownership of the local indigenous communities governed by traditional customary laws. In other words, local communities own 31,826 sq.km. of the state's forest that is some of the nation's prime wildlife habitats.

In an effort to strike a balance of sustainable survival between the two important facets of Arunachal Pradesh, WWF-India stepped in with an initiative of Community-Based Tourism (CBT). Working with villagers belonging to indigenous communities, the CBT programme aims to equip locals with knowledge, infrastructure, and business acumen, in order for them to realize and harness livelihood opportunities in the sphere of tourism. CBT, therefore, aims to establish a network of community-centric homestays offering diverse services such as accommodation, catering, camping, nature trails, cultural programmes, among a long list of other immersive activities. The larger goal of the initiative is to not only provide villagers with a source of alternate livelihood, but is also to give them a platform to display their indigenous knowledge, exhibit their traditions and culture which are so deeply entwined with the eco-system within which they live, while ensuring that the same communities visualize a scope for benefit and sustenance from conserving the biodiversity in the region.
The field team of WWF-India from Arunachal Pradesh was accompanied by a representative of Chalo Hoppo, an experiential travel company operating in the northeast aimed at delivering local experiences to travelers by promoting cultural exchange in the region. The team is currently exploring opportunities to partner with the company under its CBT programme. Thus, the visit conducted in the month of February 2019, was held to explore tourism opportunities, as well as to distribute support materials to the homestays operating within the Mandala Phudung Khellong Community Conserved Area (MPKCCA). A meeting with the members of the management committee and homestay owners was also scheduled to discuss the future of the CBT initiative within the community conserved area (CCA).
During the visit, homestay owners were oriented in understanding the role eco-tourism could play in the sphere of conservation and augmenting livelihoods while being made aware of the underlying threats, the sector posed. Following this, there was an enthusiastic discussion amongst the group regarding the various tourism opportunities within the CCA which could be used to attract tourists. This was accompanied by a mapping exercise wherein the villagers drew a map depicting the various attractions and activities for tourists and some tentative itineraries were drawn up in consultation with the villagers.
The team split up into different parts and stayed at the various homestays in the CCA in order to experience them first hand and identify opportunities to improve the guest experience. The team also took the opportunity to undertake some of the activities that had been identified in the community consultation session such as the trek to Resa Gompa and a visit to the Phudung monastery. A potential campsite was also identified where tourists could camp overnight at a serene spot next to the Tongchudar river. The team then held a brainstorming session with Chalo Hoppo and the villagers to understand how such experiences could be packaged as attractive activities for tourists.
The last day of the visit entailed the distribution of support materials under the aegis of partnership between WWF India and SONY India Pvt. Ltd such as room heaters, wash basins, towels, water purifiers, to the homestay owners as a step forward in making the stay more comfortable for tourists.
The MPKCCA is indeed an enchanting place and holds many different allures for those who choose to visit it. The CBT endeavor is a promising avenue to be explored and the programme must now work towards stabilizing tourist inflow to the homestays being operated by the locals. It also essential to ensure that gains to indigenous peoples from the tourism sector are made to translate into better outcomes for biodiversity conservation in the region.
After all, the conservation of India's wild is only possible, together!

Q: Div se superpone al Nav Tengo el siguiente problema: Estoy tratando de modular el sistema aplicando el patrón MVC, y por un lado tengo un archivo php para el encabezado de la pagina, otro para el footer y otro para el contenido. Todo venia bien hasta que, al probar poner un contenido como el que se muestra en el ejemplo, este se superpone al nav y se coloca arriba a la izquierda de la pagina, como si tuviera 0 margin top y left.
Yo quiero que cualquiera fuera el contenido, se coloque donde debe ser, que es a continuación de la barra de navegación. ¿Alguna sugerencia?
Un header.php

A: Lo que sucede está en sus estilos, específicamente la clase "fixed-top" en su nav, esas propiedades hacen que el nav se superponga y se mueva con referencia a la ventana sin importar lo que esté debajo o encima.
Por eso es que su div de contenidos sale en ese lado. La solución sería retirar esa clase, pero si aún desea mantener esa clase, agregue un margin-top: 10rem(Lo que requiera); a su div de contenidos.
